CORP BANCA: THIRD QUARTER 2006 RESULTS
Santiago, Chile, November 13, 2006 - CORP BANCA (NYSE: BCA), a Chilean financial
institution offering a wide variety of corporate and retail financial products
and services, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of
2006. This report is based on unaudited consolidated financial statements
prepared in accordance with Chilean generally accepted accounting principles.
Figures are expressed in Chilean pesos as of September 30, 2006 and percentages
are expressed in real terms. Solely for the convenience of the reader, U.S.
dollar amounts in this report have been translated from Chilean pesos at the
rate of Ch$538.22 per U.S. dollar, the Central Bank of Chile's observed exchange
rate as of September 30, 2006.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FOR CORP BANCA FOR THE NINE MONTH PERIOD
ENDED SEPTEMBER 2006
o ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
CORP BANCA recorded net income of Ch$29,338 million for the nine-month period
which ended on September 30, 2006. This represents a 29.0% decrease compared to
the same period in 2005. The decrease was mainly due to a Ch$13,877 million
decline in gross margin and a Ch$2,799 million increase in operating expenses,
both of which were partially offset by a Ch$1,569 million decrease in provisions
for loan losses.
The following table shows comparative information relating to the composition of
our consolidated net income for the nine-month period ended on September 30,
2006 as compared to the same period in 2005, in millions of Chilean pesos
(except percentages):

Our gross margin decreased by Ch$13,877 million, or 12.1%, in the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. This
decrease mainly reflects the Ch$9,873 million, or 70.1%, decrease in gains from
net trading activities.
In prior periods, net gains from trading activities, which reflect the results
of trading in our investment portfolio, have provided us with an important
source of revenues. However, toward the end of 2005 and in early 2006, we
experienced losses in the value of our investment portfolio due to increases in
prevailing interest rates in Chile and the concurrent decline in value of the
debt securities, especially Chilean government bonds, in our portfolio.
Accordingly, we liquidated positions in our investment portfolio, thereby
reducing our exposure to potential losses in connection with fluctuations in
prevailing interest rates.
Our net interest revenue also decreased in the nine-month period ended on
September 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. This decrease of
Ch$3,713 million was due to the decrease in our trading securities portfolio
mentioned above because we no longer received interest revenues to the extent
that such portfolio's assets were liquidated assets. Another important factor
that help explain the decrease in our net interest revenue is the
above-mentioned increase in prevailing domestic interest rates toward the end of
2005. Since we re-price our interest-bearing liabilities more frequently than
our interest-earning assets, these obligations became more expensive when
renegotiated. We estimate the impact of the lower investment portfolio on our
net interest revenue to be approximately Ch$11,911 million through the third
quarter of 2006 (when comparing revenues of 2006 to 2005).
Other net operating income decreased by Ch$5,018 million, or by 142.8%, in the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 when compared to the same period in
2005. The decrease is largely due to an increase in sales force expenses
relating to the growth in our consumer loan, credit card and residential
mortgage loan portfolios (Ch$61,460 in consumer loans and Ch$82,112 in mortgage
loans), and the fact that during 2005 CORP BANCA received substantial cash flow
in connection with the liquidation of an asset received in lieu of payment,
representing approximately Ch$2,000 million in non-recurring income.
On the other hand, fees and income from services increased by Ch$3,926 million,
or 24.1%, in the nine-month period ended September 30,2006 as compared to same
period in 2005. This increase is a consequence of our efforts to increase fees
in line with what we believe to be the market standard and to improve our fee
collection processes, in each case mainly with respect to products oriented to
retail banking customers (such as checking accounts and credit cards). We
believe that the acceptance by our customers of these changes evidences a high
level of customer loyalty relating to CORP BANCA's products and services.
Another issue that explains this increase is the significant increase in Corp
Banca's client basis.
Operating Expenses. The following table shows comparative information relating
to the composition of CORP BANCA's operating expenses for the first three
quarters of 2005 and 2006, in millions of Chilean pesos (except percentages):

Personnel salaries and expenses (28,152) (30,011) (1,859) 6.6%

Total operating expenses (45,091) (47,890) (2,799) 6.2%
Our operating expenses increased by Ch$2,799 million, or 6.2%, in the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006 compared to same period in 2005. This increase
was attributable to higher personnel salaries and expenses, which rose by
Ch$1,859 million, or 6.6%, from Ch$28,152

million as of September 30, 2005 to Ch$30,011 million in the same period in
2006, reflecting our hiring of additional personnel to handle increased business
activity in both commercial and operational activities. In addition,
administrative and other expenses increased by Ch$955 million, or 7.4%, in the
same period due primarily to increased expenditures on marketing campaigns and
the leasing of additional branches. The increase in operating expenses had a
negative impact on the efficiency ratio of the bank, which reached 47.4% as of
September 30, 2006 (49.3% as of June 30, 2006), as compared to 39.3% as of
September 30, 2005.
Price-level Restatement. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006,
we recorded net expenses from price-level restatement of Ch$8,243 million,
representing an increase of Ch$1,064 million, or 14.8%, as compared to net
expenses from price-level restatement of Ch$7,179 million in the same period in
2005. This increase reflects the higher inflation rate in Chile in the 2006
period as compared to the 2005 period and our higher capital base for the
current year.
Other Indicators. CORP BANCA's annualized return on equity slid from 14.8% as of
September 30, 2005 to 9.9% in the same period in 2006 (9.2% for the second
quarter of 2006) due to the negative impact of the liquidation of the majority
of our investment portfolio and the increase in our equity base resulting from
the capitalization of 50.0% of our 2005 net income. On a pre-tax basis, our
return on equity in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 would have
been 11.8% (11.0% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006).
Meanwhile, our net interest margin (net interest revenue over interest-earning
assets) remained flat, at 3.5% (3.3% as of the end of 2006 second quarter).
o BUSINESS ACTIVITY
Loan Portfolio. Our total loan portfolio (net of interbank loans) amounted to
Ch$3,122,764 million as of September 30, 2006, representing 8.8% growth in real
terms during the twelve-month period then ended, which was lower than the 14.5%
growth recorded by the Chilean banking sector for the same period. In addition,
our loan portfolio market share in Chile decreased from 6.6% as of September 30,
2005 to 6.3% as of September 30, 2006. On the other hand, this decrease also
reflects the results of our strategy of targeting loans to small- and
medium-sized businesses. While loans in this sector tend to be for lower amounts
than loans to larger corporations, they generate more favorable financial
margins for us.
According to the Chilean Superintendency of Banks, as of the third quarter of
2006 CORP BANCA posted twelve-month growth of 25.1% in loans to individuals,
while the industry average was 17.3%.

Total loans (excluding interbank

(*) Includes overdrafts
The loan types that demonstrated the highest growth in relative terms were
residential mortgage loans (comprised of the Housing mortgages and Other housing
mortgages lines in the above table) with a 36.6% increase as of September 30,
2006, as compared to September 30, 2005, factoring loans with a 15.8% increase
and consumer loans with a 17.8% increase during the same period. The 36.6%
increase in residential mortgages loans easily outpaced the 14.7% growth
reported for this loan type in the Chilean banking sector for the same period.
This growth allowed us to increase our residential mortgage loan market share in
Chile from 2.5% as of September 30, 2005 to 3.0% as of September 30, 2006.
Other Indicators. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, we had a
risk index (allowances for loan losses over total loans) of 1.4%, which compares
favorably to our 1.6% risk index for the same period in 2005 and is in line with
the 1.5% risk index for the Chilean banking sector for the same period of
current year. The improvement in the risk index was due mainly to changes in the
composition of our loan portfolio, including the decrease in past due loans
(when measured over total loans), since they went from 0.8% to 0.7% as of
September 2006. Reported past due loans over total loans (net of interbank
loans) for the Chilean banking sector were 0.8% as of September 30, 2006.
Our coverage ratio, measured as allowances for loan losses over past due loans,
decreased from 205.7% as of September 30, 2005 to 199.6% as of September 30,
2006. The Chilean banking sector recorded a coverage ratio of 192.5% as of
September 30, 2006. Notwithstanding the decrease in our coverage ratio, we
believe that this ratio indicates a healthy amount of coverage against potential
losses for past due loans.

(*) Net from funds in process of settlement
Our domestic and other borrowings (saving accounts and time deposits, current
(checking) accounts, banker's drafts and other sight deposits, mortgage bonds
and domestic borrowings) decreased by Ch$153,378 million, or 6.3%, as of
September 30, 2006 as compared to same period previous year. The main reason for
this decrease is that our financing needs have decreased as we have generated
cash by gradually liquidating our investment securities position. This decrease
was primarily due to a decrease of Ch$192,957 million, or 11.0%, in saving
accounts and time deposits. Our foreign borrowings decreased by Ch$66,158
million, or 27.2%, reflecting the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the
U.S. dollar. Although these decreases have reduced the amount of available cash,
the liquidation of the majority of investments in our treasury portfolio,
described above, provided us with cash to finance a significant part of our
growth and to service our liabilities.
o SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
The capitalization of 50.0% of our 2005 net income at the beginning of 2006, in
the amount of Ch$26,316 million, enhanced our ability to grow our loan portfolio
and to maintain favorable solvency ratios.
With capital and reserves of Ch$395,453 million as of September 30, 2006, we
ranked as the fourth largest private bank in Chile and had an equity market
share in Chile of 8.2% as of that date according to figures published by the
Chilean Superintendency of Banks.
Our Basle Index at the end of the third quarter of 2006 was 14.3% compared to
13.9% as of September 30, 2005.
