Our average return on equity was 21.4%. The asset quality continued to improve, the non-performing loan ratio decreased from 4.9% to 2.9% and the loan-loss provision coverage increased from 151.7% to 175.8%. The financial solidity of our equity, the continuous improvement in our portfolio quality, the higher level of coverage of the non-performing portfolio, the diversification of the Bank's funding, an increase in public deposits, and our focusing in profitable businesses, all allowed Interbank to continue rating as category A, one of the highest classifications available in the Peruvian financial system. Interbank's strategic orientation to retail banking, defined over the last five years, is reflected both by the placement portfolio structure, in which the retail banking share has gone from 23% to 47%, and by the income it generated, which increased from 44% to 73% of the Bank's total income for that term. Also, the funding from natural persons represented more than 56% of total deposits. In line with the decision to continue strengthening our retail banking, we maintain our commitment to providing our clients with leading products such as cards, mortgage loans, personal loans and a number of alternative types of deposits, with a personalized quality service. During fiscal year 2005 Interbank retained its leadership in the retail banking sector with a market share of 20% for personal loans. And in an unprecedented effort, we opened 36 new Financial Service Shops in Lima and provinces, thus increasing our national network to 105 spots. We also continued developing our project of Convenience Stores located in areas of dense traffic, where service is available at special times, with additional attractions implemented for customers to have a better time while carrying out their banking operations. The strategic investment made by Grupo Interbank in Supermercados Peruanos, continued to generate important synergies in developing Personal and Entrepreneurial banking: as of December 2005 there were 150,000 VEA credit cards and the number of financial service suppliers increased significantly to more than 700. In addition, there are 19 Money Markets located in Hipermercados Plaza Vea and Supermercados Vivanda, to provide banking services to our customers and contribute to attracting new customers. We keep committed with our vision of making Interbank the best bank with the best people, focused on generating competitive advantages addressed at providing our customers with exceptional value and convenience. We are therefore glad to mention that for the fourth year running we were selected as one of Perú's Top 10 Best Places to Work by The Great Place to Work Institute, and were the highest ranked bank.

Thus, ever since this award was created, Interbank is the bank that has received the largest number of awards in this category. Our personnel and staff including more than 2,479 members remains as our primary strategic advantage and once again we would like to thank them all for their effort and desire to excel. The Peruvian financial system has shown a positive evolution over 2005, and this has led an increasing number of Peruvians to a more intensive economic interaction with banks, thus gaining access to loans, both addressed at consumption and housing and micro-businesses as well. Heavy portfolio reductions and the good net financial income obtained by the institutions that make up the system have allowed us to show outstanding international level indicators. The regulatory framework remained stable, facilitating this favorable evolution and controlling various initiatives that would have otherwise affected such ambit, hindering the future development of the financial system. to cover the country's both household and industrial energy requirements at competitive costs. The entering of a Free Trade Agreement with the United States will mean a substantial contribution to economic growth. In addition, we expect that the level of liquidity maintained by financial institutions will help keep stable interest and exchange rates, especially during the second half of the year. Our financial goals for 2006 include a net income growth of at least 40%, and a return on equity of over 25%. In line with the modernization of out distribution model, we expect that 75% of our total transactions will take place through electronic channels such as the Internet, telephone, selfservice kiosks, and ATMs. The significant results obtained over this exceptional year were possible because of the support and trust of our customers, our correspondent banks, and our investors, and especially because of the commitment and professionalism of our members, with whom we share our purpose of being recognized as the best financial institution in Perú. For 2006 we envision a promising economic scenario, despite this being an elections year. The evolution of global economy will allow to maintain for favorable prices for Perú's primary exports and tourism will continue its expansion by virtue of the modernization of its transport and service infrastructure. Natural gas from Camisea will continue to be developed during the year, allowing Carlos Rodríguez - Pastor P. Chairman Ismael Benavides F. General Manager

For such purpose, VIDA Perú counts on the support of volunteers and associates who take inventories, classify, and organize the donated medicines and medical equipment in order to facilitate subsequent free distribution nationally. The donations received in fiscal year 2005 amounted to more than US$ 15 million and benefited more than 600 requests from 172 institutions nationwide. The major programs developed by VIDA Perú in this fiscal year were: Olga Baca Olazábal, Winner of the Creativity Award.

The event gathered more than 500 young writers from all over the country. The award winning works were published.

43 40 41 The Peruvian Economy in 2005 Latin American economies continued growing in 2005, and the performance of Peruvian economy clearly stood out at 6.7%, higher than the 4.8% it posted for 2004, the greatest growth rate it has achieved since This was driven not only by foreign demand but also by the strengthening of domestic demand. Non-primary sectors remained as the major driver of economic growth. Sectors such as other services and trade, that grew 6%, stood out for their contribution to the growth of economy based on the expansion of domestic demand. Private consumption and private investment recorded growth rates of 4.4% and 11.8% respectively. Manufacturing grew by 7.0%, boosted by higher private consumption as well as by the continuous drive provided by the ATPDEA. Likewise, the 8.7% growth rate of the construction sector resulting from the housing programs promoted by the government such as Mivivienda and Techo Propio, and the expansion of mortgage loans also contributed to stregthen the demand for manufactured products both in the form of building materials and as final goods for household furnishings. In the case of the primary sectors, mining grew by 8.7%, with the greater gold production resulting from the start of production of Barrick Misquichilca's Alto Chicama mining unit providing the outstanding note. The fiscal deficit was 0.4% of the GDP in 2005, below the 1.0% goal set by the government and lower than the 1.1% of GDP deficit recorded in The improvement of the fiscal balance was mainly due to the greater tax collections, boosted by the greater economic activity in 2005 and to the higher corporate profits in 2004, which enhanced tax receipts from income tax regularization. On the other hand, the pressure for higher expenditures continued, thus limiting the improvement of the fiscal accounts due to a 12.5% expansion current expenses. The government was active in both the domestic and foreign debt markets mainly as a result of the reprofiling of the public debt. In this sense, the prepayment of part of the debt to the Paris Club for

44 The Peruvian economy continued growing at a rate of 6.3%, representing the highest growth rate achieved since 1997 US$1,555 million and the debt to Japan Peru Corporation (JAPECO) for US$830 millions involved the issuance of considerable amounts of debt in both the domestic and foreign markets. Additionally, the government issued bonds for US$400 million, due in 2033, to fund the 2005 budget, and made dynamic use of the domestic market makers program, with various issues amounting to S/. 2,013 million, and a swap of debt which was nearing maturity date for S/. 851 million. Total exports rose by 36.7%, thus reaching a new record of US$17,247 million, favored mainly by the increase in the prices of base minerals and precious metals as a consequence of the greater demand from China and continued growth in the US. On the other hand, imports rose by 23.0% to US$12,084 million due to greater imports of raw materials and machinery generated by the expansion of private investment and the strength of domestic consumption. Thus, the trade surplus reached US$5,163 millions, an 84.9% increase from last yaear. This, along with the 24.1% increase in the balance of current transfers resulting from greater family remittances from Peruvians living abroad, contributed to boost the current account balance to a surplus equivalent to 1.6% of the GDP. However, in spite of the above, the local currency recorded a 4.3% depreciation as a consequence of the differential between short-term interest rates in soles and dollars, and also due to concerns regarding the political scenario towards the end of the year. The Central Bank recorded net purchases of US$2,697 million during the year, 16.1% more than the net purchases for In this context, international reserves reached US$14,097 million, equivalent to 14 months of imports. The inflation was 1.5% in 2005, mainly because the higher supply of some food products off-set the rising trend resulting from the increase in international oil prices. Average interest rates on deposits in local and foreign currency went up, following the trend of international interest rates. However, in regard to loan rates, the average rate in dollars increased due to a rise in international interest rates, while the average interest rate in local currency dropped as a consequence of the

45 42 43 The Peruvian economy in 2005 improved portfolio quality in the system. After hitting historically low levels during the year as a consequence of the better perception of both country and regional risk due to the inherent fundamentals of global growth, the sovereign spread as measured by the EMBI+ Perú closed the year with a drop of 14 basis points to 206 bps. The Peruvian Financial System In 2005 the Peruvian financial system continued showing improving asset quality and higher profits. Portfolio quality continued improving in the face of high liquidity and rising international interest rates. During the year most banking companies kept their strategies of increasing consumer loans, which grew by %; mortgage loans, which grew by 26.2%; and loans to micro-businesses, which grew by 41.2%. Basically what allowed for this performance was the 4.4% increase in private consumption, an improvement in the population's disposable income, and the attractive spreads of these sectors. On the other hand, loans to large companies showed an increase after the drop recorded in 2004, as evidenced by the 15.4% rise in commercial loans, mainly due to the greater local economic activity despite their ability to access to the capital markets. As a result of these factors, total loans by the banking system rose by 14.8% to US$ 12,212 million. The growth in mortgage loans continued being promoted by the government program MIVIVIENDA, which allowed the system to place 9,205 mortgage loans for more than US$213 million as compared with 7,960 mortgage loans valued at around US$ 172 million disbursed in The open credit exposure for the system (problem loans less provisions as a percentage of equity) decreased from 15.3% in 2004 to 17.2% as of the end of the last fiscal year. This, once again, is attributable to the conservative credit policies

46 For fiscal year 2006 the financial system will continue in optimal conditions so as to contribute to the growth of domestic demand implemented, the strengthening of equity resulting of the capitalization of profits, and the efforts to create adequate levels of provisions. The profitability of the financial system showed an increase as a consequence of a slight improvement of financial margins and the lower level of provisions demanded based on the improvement of the quality of the loan portfolio. The delinquency rate fell from 3.7% in 2004 to 2.2% in 2005, while the coverage of past due loans rose to 233.4%. The return on equity reached 21.0% by the end of 2005, and total net profits significantly grew by 90.3% to US$432.0 million. The greater dynamism in domestic demand and a high quality of the portfolio continued strengthening the financial system and allowed for significantly better profitability ratios. For fiscal year 2006 the financial system will continue in optimal conditions so as to support the growth of local demand and higher private investment.

47 44 45 Management Presentation of Results Analysis of Operations Results and the Economic and Financial Situation. 1. Introduction Interbank is one of Perú's major commercial banks providing a wide range of financial products and services to more than 950 thousand customers through a network of 105 branch offices and 500 ATMs, strategically located throughout the country. As of December 31st, 2005 the Bank's assets totaled US$1,830 million, it had US$1,342 million in deposits, and a net worth of US$164 million, all of which kept its rank as the fourth largest bank in the Peruvian banking system in terms of total assets and the third in profitability. More than one decade after it was privatized, Interbank has made a significant improvement in its financial performance. One such improvement is the adequate management of its loan portfolio, which has led to better asset quality indicators and to a diversified and profitable loan structure. Notice should be taken of the efforts undertaken to achieve a more diversified funding structure and a better allocation of costs. Due to innovative and successful policies Interbank has received continual acknowledgment from renowned market institutions andmaintained one of the strongest risk ratings in the financial system. Interbank participates in the Mutual Funds market through Interfondos SAF and in the securitization market through Intertítulos ST, both wholly owned subsidiaries. It is also the second largest issuer of credit cards in Perú's banking system with loans for more than US$159 million, and the only bank that offers the three leading market brands: American Express, Master Card, and Visa. 2. Earnings Summary Interbank's net earnings for 2005 were US$ 33.0 million, 64% above 2004 results. The bank continues to exhibit a solid, steady evolution of its profitability ratios, having attained a return on assets (ROA) de 1.8%, and a return on equity (ROE) of 21.4%. These results were explained by operating earnings before provisions and taxes of US$ 78.7 million, based on net-interest income of US$ million and non interest income for US$ 76.7 million. Thus, the bank's increased activity accounted for an annual increase in total income of 22%. On the other hand, the larger volume of transactions and expenditures associated with new projects and investments resulted in an annual increase of operating expenses of 23%.

48 Interbank has 355'261,470 outstanding shares and the earnings per share were US$0.0962, 65% higher than the previous year's, which were US$ Portfolio At the end of fiscal year 2005, Interbank's Gross Loans amounted to US$ 1,211 million, an increase of US$ 103 million with regard to The efforts made by the Bank to position itself as a Retail Bank continued providing positive results. This explains why the personal loan portfolio came to represent 47% of current placements, and Interbank remains the leader in consumer credit, with a market share of 20%. Important growth was recorded in mortgage loans, credit cards, and personal loans. Net earnings US$ million Earning per share US$ million Gross loans Retail banking US$ million

49 46 47 Management Presentation of Results: Analysis of Operations Results and the Economic and Financial Situation. 4. Financial Margin Net interest margin was US$ million, US$ 19.7 million greater than It is important to note that financial income is recurrent for the most part. Despite a scenario of falling interest rates due to a more competitive market in the personal banking segment, income from the loan portfolio rose by 21% due to a larger volume of personal loans, which account for 47% of the current portfolio. Thus, corporate loans, presenting lower income margins, are being substituted by placements with greater yields and a more diversified risk. On the other hand, financial expenditures recorded a 16.3% rise in a scenario of climbing deposit interest rates in line with the trend in international rates. However, the bank's effort in diversifying its funding sources ought to be highlighted, and is illustrated by the fact that the share of personal deposits of the bank's total deposits went from 47% by late 2004, to 56% by late Also, during 2005, Interbank continued attracting funds in the local capital markets at very competitive interest rates for mortgage credit and leasing operations. Financial Margin US$ millions Non Financial Income Non Financial Income US$ millions Interbank continues its policy of promoting businesses that generate non-capital intensive, recurring fee income through the development of innovative mechanisms that improve and facilitate the provision of services to our clients. Non-Financial Income thus amounted to US$76.7 million, equivalent to an annual increase of US$ 16.0 million, a monthly average of US$1.3 million higher in comparison with last year. This was based on the increased revenue from credit card fees resulting from the expansion of the number of cards and the successful marketing campaigns

Equally, the convenient location of the Global Net ATMs translated into a significant increase of revenue; and the active sales of non-credit related insurances through the branch network generated a considerable drive for the Banca Seguros business. As for corporate services, they recorded a higher number of foreign trade operations and an increase in the volume of payments, collections, and payrolls, based on greater facilities of the corporate software applications and improvements in the products and services supplied. other hand, the increase in the number of credit cards involved larger expenses associated with customer attraction and retention. Likewise, the expansion and remodeling of the branch and ATM network have demanded additional resources. Thus, Interbank's efficiency ratio reached 60%, like the previous year. 6. Operating Expenses Operating Expenses, including personnel expenses and general expenses, were US$119 million, 23.1% higher than the previous year. The increase in expenses recorded in 2005 stems from the bank's strategy of strengthening its leadership position in the retail banking market, expanding and managing the customer base, and maintaining a high quality service, all aimed at continuing with the increase of income in the medium term. Due to the Bank's greater activity, currently effecting more than 6 million monthly contacts with clients, additional personnel have been hired in order to keep up with the service quality standards.

51 48 49 Management Presentation of Results: Analysis of Operations Results and the Economic and Financial Situation 7. Asset Quality 8. Provisions By the end of fiscal year 2005, Interbank's assets were US$1,830 million, showing an increase of US$63 million over December This growth was due to the higher level of outstanding consumer loans, in line with Interbank's strategy to consolidate as a retail Bank. As far as corporate loans were concerned, growth was concentrated in financial leasing agreements and the financing of foreign trade operations, both deemed as strategic products in view of their risk and profitability profile. On the other hand, the portfolio of refinanced loans, restructured loans, past-due loans, and loans in legal collection was reduced by US$ 49 million. During fiscal year 2005 the Bank made US$36.0 million in provisions for loan losses generated by operating income. By setting aside this amount the Bank was able to write off irrecoverable loans for US$44.3 million. Consistently with its solid risk management culture, Interbank maintained a policy to strengthen its loan portfolio, which allowed it to close 2005 with a delinquency rate of 2.9%. On the other hand, total provisions amounted to US$67 million, enabling the coverage ratio, which indicates the level of provisions for impaired credits, was 176% as of the end of In US$ million Dec Dec Variación Var. % Available funds % Investment % Gross loans 1,108 1, % Current 931 1, % Consumer % Businesses % Others % Restructured abd refinanced % Overdue and judiciary collection % Total activos 1,767 1, %

Similarly, concerning corporate deposits, the lower requirements of institutional funds at special rates ought to be highlighted Liabilities The Bank's total liabilities as of December 2005 were US$ 1,666 million, recording an increase of US$ 48 million. While the overall System showed a higher level of deposits, the effort of Interbank's branch network stands out in attracting retail deposits within the framework of a funding source policy oriented to develop a diversified and low-cost deposit structure. Thus, the Bank's market share in the persons segment continued to grow, reaching 10.7% as of the closing of fiscal year With regard to corporate deposits, the strategy is focused on attracting transactional funds associated with Regarding the structure of Liabilities, the decrease of foreign loans continued since the Bank's liquidity allowed it to finance foreign trade operations with local funds. The Bank's funding strategy continued aiming at the development of a diversified and stable fund structure that is not vulnerable to any adverse impacts of eventual financial crises. Domestic loans, associated mostly with Mivivienda credit operations, increased by US$ 21 million. It ought to be pointed out that during 2005 Interbank issued leasing bonds valued at US$ 15 million, and mortgage bonds valued at US$ 10 million, and short-term certificates of deposit for S/. 109 million. The joint effort of the Capital Market Division and the Branch Network should be mentioned regarding the bond issues since, in contrast to other local issues, they succeeded in generating considerable participation by natural persons.

53 50 51 Management Presentation of Results: Analysis of Operations Results and the Economic and Financial Situation 10. Liquidity 11. Equity Interbank's available funds at the end of fiscal year 2005 were US$399 million, representing 22% of total Assets. The liquidity ratio, which includes other liquid assets of the Bank, was 43.8% in US dollars and 22.8% in soles, percentages that are considerably higher than the limits required by the Peruvian Superintendence of Banking and Insurance (SBS) and the Central Reserve Bank of Perú (BCRP), which are 20% and 8%, respectively. By the end of 2005, the Bank's equity was US$164 million, reflecting an increase of US$14.9 million with regard to the previous year. This explains Interbank's leverage ratio of 8.3, considerably lower than the legal limit. 12. Dividend Policy Interbank maintains its commitment to capitalize a substantial portion of its net income in order to guarantee an adequate capital base to support its operations. Net Equity US$ million The Bank's dividend policy approved by the General Shareholder Meeting held April 5th 2005 agreed to set a dividend policy for 2005 consisting of the distribution of a maximum of 50% of the fiscal year's net profits, as established in articles 65 and 66, Law 26702, and in the relevant sections of the General Corporations Law. In 2005 S/.30 million were distributed as dividends for fiscal year

54 13. Derivative Instruments As of December 31, 2004 the Bank maintained a short position of forward contracts of US$40.2 million. As of December 31, 2005 that position was US$14.8 million. The Bank covered its short position through spot purchases in the currency it is obliged to deliver on the contract's maturity date. differences or mismatches between the maturity dates of one and the other. The Bank's policy emphasizes a prudent handling of those differences, matching the maturities of assets and liabilities. However, Treasury may, within its delegated powers and approved limits, actively manage said mismatches in the short term, in order to maximize profits or improve the Bank's risk profile. Interbank has also offered interest rate hedges to some clients, keeping a short position of swaps of LIBOR rate versus fixed rate for a notional amount of US$0.97 million. The income and loss of these derivative instruments and the corresponding hedge positions are recorded monthly in the Bank's Profit and Loss Accounts, according to the regulations of the Peruvian Superintendence of Banking and Insurance. Interbank does not maintain other positions in derivative instruments neither for its own account nor for those of its customers. 14. Interest Rate Mismatch and Sensitivity Due to the characteristics of the Peruvian financial market, maturities of medium term lending operations are inherently different from collection terms. This generates The sensitivity of Interest Rates refers to the effect of a change in interest rates on the Bank's earnings, resulting from the mismatch between the assets and liabilities repricing dates and the different base rates of said assets and liabilities. The Bank measures the potential impact of these mismatches through an Earnings at Risk model based on the guidelines provided by the Peruvian Superintendence of Banking and Insurance. This model seeks to quantify the negative impact of a variation in the interest rate on the company's financial margin. According to the model mentioned above, the absolute value of the reduction in the Bank's financial margins considering a variation in the interest rate estimated at 300 bps in local currency, 100 bps in the VAC rate, 100 bps in the base rate in foreign currency, 50 bps in the LIBOR rate, and 50 bps in TIPMEX rate was S/.9.3 million as of December 31, 2004, and S/.8.5 million as of December 31, 2005.

55 52 53 Management Presentation of Results: Analysis of Operations Results and the Economic and Financial Situation The Bank seeks to minimize the effects of potential variations in interest rates through hedging operations such as term matching and rate reformulation. It ought to be said that the above mentioned model does not measure the consequences that a variation in the interest rate included in the main assumption would have on the general level of economic activity. Likewise, the analysis does not include the measurements of repreciation or acceleration to which the Bank might resort within its contractual rights. 15. Business Perspectives Interbank has developed a plan for the next three years that will allow it to maintain consistent growth in profitability. The Bank's growth strategy is based on reliable personnel, the development of profitable businesses channeled through a modern distribution network, and the creation of synergies with the various companies of the group. The development of lines of business in retail banking requires the Bank to maintain and improve the standards of service attained, which represent Interbank's most distinguishable quality. The Bank will continue implementing actions oriented at improving the quality of service including improvements in personnel qualification based on modern selection processes and a permanent training plan. The financial goals for 2006 include an increase in net income equivalent to at least 40% and a return on equity higher than 25%. The objectives and strategies for the period are based upon the Bank's plans, which include Management's assumptions and expectations for future scenarios, which may be susceptible to variations.

63 60 61 Notes to the financial statements As of December 31, 2005 and Business activity Banco Internacional del Perú - Interbank (hereafter "the Bank") is a subsidiary of IFH Perú Ltd. (hereafter IFH ), and is authorized by the Superintendencia de Banca, Seguros y Administradoras de Fondos de Pensiones - SBS (the Peruvian banking, financing, private pension funds and insurance authority, hereafter the SBS for its Spanish abbreviation), to engage in banking activities in accordance with legal regulations in force in Peru. The Bank's operations are ruled by the Ley General del Sistema Financiero y de Seguros y Orgánica de la SBS - Ley (General Law of the Financial and Insurance Systems and Organic of the SBS - Law 26702, hereafter the Banking Law ). The Bank is authorized to receive third parties deposits and invest such funds, together with its own capital, in loans placements and securities acquisitions; likewise, the Bank may also grant guarantees and letters of credit and perform in any other financial intermediation and banking service and other activities permitted by the Banking Law. Furthermore, the Bank may engage in underwriting and brokerage activities related to the stock exchange, and may establish and administrate mutual funds, among other activities, to the extent these activities are carried out by subsidiaries organized for such purposes, see Note 8. The Bank's main office is located at Av. Carlos Villarán 140 Urb. Santa Catalina, La Victoria, Lima, Peru. At December 31, 2005, the Bank had 2,475 employees and 106 offices (2,210 employees and 97 offices as of December 31, 2004). The financial statements as of December 31, 2004 have been approved in the General Shareholders' Meeting dated April 5, The accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2005 have been approved by Management and will be submitted for approval by the Board of Directors and the Shareholders' Meeting that will take place within the period established by law. In Management's opinion, the accompanying financial statements will be approved by the Board of Directors and the Shareholders' Meeting without modifications.

64 2. Principios y prácticas contables In the preparation and presentation of the accompanying financial statements, Management has complied with the regulations established by the SBS and effective in Peru as of December 31, 2005 and Significant accounting principles and practices used in the preparation of the Bank's financial statements are described below: (a) Basis of presentation and changes in accounting policies - n Basis of presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared from the Bank's accounting records, which are maintained in nominal Peruvian Nuevos Soles at the transaction date, in accordance with SBS regulations and, in a supplementary manner, with International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS approved in Peru and effective as of December 31, 2005 and The preparation of financial statements requires Management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the disclosure of material contingencies in the notes to the financial statements, as well as the amounts of revenues and expenses presented for the period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates included in the accompanying financial statements are related to the provision for possible loan losses, the investments valuation, the useful life and the recoverable value of properties, furniture and equipment and intangibles, the provision for assets received as payment and seized through legal actions, the valuation of derivatives and the calculation of deferred income tax and workers' profit sharing; the accounting criteria for each of these estimates are presented later in this Note. The accompanying financial statements do not include the effects of the consolidation of the Bank with its subsidiaries, which are detailed in Note 8. The investment in these subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, has been recorded under the equity method of accounting, the non-consolidation of these subsidiaries does not affect the Bank's net income. The effect of non-consolidation is not significant to the revenue, expense, asset and liability accounts presented in the Bank's financial statements. n Changes in accounting policies Starting from the year 2005, the accounting treatment related to the adjustment from exposure to inflation (see following paragraphs), the investment valuation (see paragraphs (f) and (h) and assets received in payment and seized through legal action (see paragraph (j)), has been modified. According to SBS accounting

65 62 63 Notes to the financial statements As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 standards, said modifications have been made in a prospective manner and prior year balances have not been modified. Until December 31, 2004, the financial statements were adjusted to reflect the effects of variations in the acquisition power of the Peruvian currency following the methodology approved by the National Accounting Standards Board ( CNC for its Spanish abbreviation). Said methodology required the restatement of the nonmonetary items in the balance sheets using coefficients determined based on the Wholesale Price Index, according to the item's original transaction date. Monetary and foreign currency items were not restated as their book balances represented the monetary value of their components as of the dates of the balance sheets. Price variation according to the acquisition power of the Peruvian currency, base on the Wholesale Price Index was 3.6 and 4.9 percent for the years 2005 and 2004, respectively, according to official statistics. By means of Resolution N EF/93.01, the CNC suspended, starting from the year 2005, the application of financial statements inflation adjustment. The adjusted book balances as of December 31, 2004 have been considered as the initial balances as of January 1, This accounting treatment has been also adopted by the Tax Authority to determine the income tax starting from the year (b) Financial Instruments - Financial instruments are classified as assets, liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of their contractual arrangement that originated such. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to financial instruments classified as assets or liabilities are recorded as income or expense. Financial instruments are offset when the Bank has a legally enforceable right to offset and the intention to either settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Financial assets and liabilities carried on the balance sheets include cash and due from banks, inter-bank funds, marketable securities, loans, accounts receivable, permanent investments and other liabilities in general, except for the deferred liability from income tax and workers' profit sharing. Additionally, all derivative instruments and indirect loans are considered to be financial instruments. The specific accounting policies on recognition and measurement for each of these items are discussed below in the respective accounting policies included in this Note. (c) Recognition of revenues and expenses - Financial revenues and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis over the period and contractual provisions of the related operations; interest rates are determined based on

66 free market negotiations with clients. Interests on accounts/loans that are in the situation of past due, refinanced, restructured and under legal collection; as well as interests of loans classified as doubtful or loss are recognized in income on a cash basis. When Management determines that the debtor's financial condition has improved and the loan is reclassified to the standing loan situation or in the categories of normal, with potential problems or substandard, according to the guidelines established in SBS Resolution N , interest is again recorded on an accrual basis. Interest revenues include the income on fixed income securities and trading securities, as well as discount and premium recognition on the Bank's financial instruments. Dividends are recognized as income when they are declared. Commissions on financial and banking services are recognized as income when collected. All other revenues and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis as earned or incurred. (d) Loans portfolio and provision for possible loan losses - Direct loans are recorded when the related funds are provided to the clients. Indirect loans (contingent) are recorded when the supporting related documents are issued. Capital leasing transactions, which meet the criteria for financial leases as defined by accounting principles, are registered using the principal value of all installment lease payments to be received in the future. The financial income, or interest component, is determined by applying a constant interest rate to the investment, upon which periodic interest will be recognized. The initial direct costs associated with the item subject to the capital lease, are recorded immediately as expenses. The provision for possible loan losses is determined by the Bank's Management and is calculated in accordance with guidelines and procedures established by the SBS. In Accordance with SBS procedures, Management periodically conducts a formal review and analysis of the Bank's loan portfolio, classifying its portfolio in one of the following categories: normal, with potential problem, substandard, doubtful or loss; based on the risk of payment default of each loan, in accordance with the guidelines of SBS Resolution N For commercial loans, the classification takes into consideration several factors, such as the payment history of the particular loan, the history of the Bank's dealings with the borrower's management, operating history, repayment capability and availability of funds of the borrower, status of any collateral and guarantee, the borrower's financial statements, general risk of the sector in which the borrower operates, the borrower's risk classification made by other financial institution in the market and other relevant factors. For micro-business, consumer and residential mortgage loans, the classification is based on the payments delay.

67 64 65 Notes to the financial statements As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 The computation of the provision is made considering the classifications assigned and using specific percentages, which vary depending upon whether the client's debts are collateralized by preferred self-liquidating guarantees (cash deposits and rights over letters of credit) or by preferred guarantees that may be readily liquidated (treasury bonds issued by the Central Government, marketable securities included for the Selective Index of the Lima Stock Exchange, among others) or by other preferred guarantees which are considered at their net realizable value as determined by an independent appraiser (primary lien on financial instruments and properties, primary lien on agricultural or mining concessions, insurance on export credits, among others). The provision for possible loan losses for direct loans is presented as an asset deduction, while the provision for indirect loans is presented as a liability; see Note 6(h). (e) Foreign currency transactions and derivatives instruments - Assets and liabilities in foreign currency are recorded in Peruvian currency by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate at the transaction date and are expressed in Peruvian currency at the close of each month using the exchange rates established by the SBS, see Note 3. Exchange gains or losses generated from the restatement of foreign currency transactions at the exchange rates prevailing as of the dates of the balance sheets are recorded in the statements of income. Foreign currency forward operations and exchange interest rates transactions are presented at their fair value, with an asset or a liability being recognized in the balance sheet and any related gain or loss being recognized in the statements of income. Forward contracts and exchange interest rates transactions are also recorded in the off balance sheet accounts at their nominal value, and in their required settlement currency, see Note 17. (f) Marketable securities - Until December 31, 2004, investments were valuated according to Resolution SBS N Regulations for the Classification, Valuation and Provisions of the Investments, and its modifications. Starting from January 1, 2005, investments are valuated according to Resolution SBS N , dated November 23, 2004, by means of which, the SBS has made some additional modifications and precisions to the Regulations for the Classification, Valuation and Provisions of the Investments and to the Accounting Manual for Financial Entities with the purpose of harmonizing these ones in certain aspects with the international accounting principles.

68 In years 2004 and 2005, the valuation's criteria of investments according to their classification, are as follows: n Trading - Are investments intended for sale in the short-term, which are marked to market daily on an individual basis, with related gains and losses being recognized in the statement of income. Interest on trading securities is recognized when accrued and dividends are recognized when declared. n Available for sale - Are investments recorded at the lower of their cost or market value, on the basis of the global portfolio; nevertheless, starting from year 2005, the provisions recorded as a result of the valuation process does not affect the results of the period, as it was until These provisions are recorded in the shareholders' equity as Value fluctuation losses of investments available for sale which is included in the caption Retained earnings, until the sale of these investments takes place. When sold, the unrealized losses recorded by their market value, previously recognized as a part of the equity, have to be included in the result of the year. On the other hand, when the Bank's Management estimates that the decrease in the market value or the equity value is not temporary, the amount of the unrealized losses should be recorded affecting the results of the year. Interests on securities available for sale are recognized when accrued and dividends when declared. In the case of debt securities, their book value are updated on a monthly basis through the premium or discount amortization. In any case, if the SBS, in use of its powers, estimates that it is necessary to record a provision for any investment, it will be determined on an individual basis and recorded in the results of the year. (g) Investments originated from loans capitalization - Corresponds to investments originated from the loan capitalization on debtor companies, when that capitalization is made as part of a refinancing process. These investments can not be held for a term longer than the refinancing plan execution or the program to clean and strengthen the equity of the company or, in any case, five years. The initial cost of these investments is equal to the equity value of the shares received. In case the equity value received is greater than the gross amount of the loan, the Bank will

69 66 67 Notes to the financial statements As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 be able to recognize a deferred earning for such difference, which will be only recognized as an income when the shares are transfer to a third party. Additionally, when the gross amount of the loans is greater than the equity value, the Bank should immediately record a loss for the difference. These investments are recorded in the caption Investments available for sale in representative capital values, see (f), and are recorded by the equity method; i.e., gains or losses generated by the companies are included in the income statements in an amount proportional to the Bank's participation. (h) Permanent investments - These investments are recorded as follows: n Investments in subsidiaries are recorded under the equity method; i.e., gains or losses generated by the subsidiaries are included in the income statements in an amount proportional to the Bank's participation in the subsidiary. n Investments in shares are recorded at the lower of their equity value or their market quotation value, with the exception of the investment in Compass Capital (Cayman) Limited, which is stated at cost, net of impairments recognized on value fluctuations deemed to be permanent, see Note 8(b). The equity value should be determined to SBS satisfaction. In the case of securities quoted in centralized trading mechanisms, when their market value shows a decreasing trend due to reasons not considered as of a temporary nature, the SBS, in use of its powers, may require the recording of a provision, for the difference between market value and equity value.

70 (i) Property, furniture and equipment - Property, furniture and equipment are stated at acquisition cost, modified by the voluntary revaluation of buildings and lands performed in December 2000, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives: Years Buildings and installations 33 and 10 Furniture and equipment 10 and 5 Vehicles 5 Leasehold improvements 5 The useful life assigned and depreciation method selected are periodically reviewed to ensure that the method and period of depreciation chosen are consistent with the economic benefit and life expectations for use of property, furniture and equipment items. Equipment in transit and work in progress amounts include furniture and equipment in construction or in transit and are recorded at cost, which includes the acquisition or construction cost together with other costs directly attributable to the asset. These assets are not depreciated until they are received or finished and placed into service. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expenses, any significant renewals and improvements are capitalized only when these disbursements improve the asset condition and extend the useful live beyond their original performance standard. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are eliminated from the corresponding accounts and the related gain or loss is included in the income statement. (j) Assets received in payment and seized through legal actions - Assets received in payment and seized through legal actions are recorded according with the guidelines of the SBS. In this sense, until September 30, 2005, these assets are recorded according to SBS Circular N B Regulations for Realizable Assets, Assets Received in Payment and Assets Seized through Legal Actions and its Provisions and modifying and supplementary norms. By means of Resolution SBS N , dated October 2005, the SBS has made some additional modifications and precisions

71 68 69 Notes to the financial statements As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 issuing a new Regulation; consequently, the determination and recording of provisions for these assets have been modified since October 1, According to this rule, realizable assets, assets received in payment and assets seized through legal actions are recorded at the value assigned to them through legal proceeding, at a value assigned through an out of court settlement, at the market value or at the unpaid value of the debt, whichever is lower. Simultaneously with the establishment of the value, a provision equivalent to 20 percent of the legal settlement of recoverable asset value is recognized; having the possibility to maintain the provision for possible loan losses that was originally constituted relating to the debt. In addition, until September 30, 2005, the provision for these assets was determined according the following criteria: (i) Non real estate assets - subsequent to the seizure date a provision was required to recognize the impairment in its net book value, and, starting from such date, a monthly provision equal to one-eighteenth of the book value was recorded. This provision was net of the provision referred to above. All assets that had not been sold or leased within 18 months of their receipt should be provisioned at 100 percent of their net book value. (ii) Real estate assets - twelve months after the seizure of a real estate asset, the Bank should contract for an appraisal of the real estate property and establish, if necessary, an impairment provision. In the event that the appraisal value exceeded the net book value no increase in the value was recognized. In addition, beginning in the thirteenth month after asset receipt, the Bank should record a monthly provision on the real estate asset until such provision reaches 100 percent of net book value as determined at the twelve-month appraisal. This monthly provision should be recognized at an amount equal to one-eighteenth of the net real estate asset carrying value. Starting October 1, 2005, the Bank recalculated the amount of the accumulated provision at said date, according to the new provisions requirements and the following criteria: (i) Non real estate assets - a provision is constituted on a monthly basis, as of the first month of adjudication or recovery of the property, equivalent to 1/18 of the book cost of the asset, net of the initial 20 percent provision recorded in the adjudication or recovery of the asset and the provision for impairment (if applicable), until reaching 100 percent of the book value of the unsold asset upon expiration of the aforementioned term. Assets without the sale term extension provided in Article

72 215 of the Banking Law approved by the SBS, had to fully provisional in a one-year term. (ii) Real estates assets - at the end of the eighteenth or twelfth month after the adjudication or recovery of the asset, depend on whether said asset had or failed to have the sale term extension provided in Article 215 of the Banking Law approved by the SBS, respectively; and within a term of three and a half years, uniform monthly provisions must be constituted on the net book value up to completing an amount equivalent to 100 percent of the book value of the unsold real property. Prior to that, a provision for impairment must be constituted, if applicable. The update of the value of said asset, whose age cannot exceed one year, will necessarily imply the constitution of provisions for impairment if the net realization value of the asset is lower than its net book value. In the case that the net realization value exceeds the net book value, the greater value cannot be recognized for accounting purposes. According to SBS rules, the provision surplus determined due to the recalculation of the provision in October 2005 was recorded as an income in the caption Other income (expenses), net of the statement of income; and the reallocation required in the caption Provision for possible loan losses, net of the statement of income, see Note 7 (d). (k) Goodwill and other intangible assets - Goodwill arose from the differences between the market value of assets and the market value of liabilities incorporated from Banco Latino (including the Treasury Bonds issued pursuant to Emergency Decree N and its Operative Rule), and costs incurred by the Bank which were directly attributable to the Banco Latino equity block acquisition, see note 10(f). The amortization of goodwill is calculated using the straight-line method over a period of time that will end in the year Other intangible asset amounts, included in the Other assets, net caption of the balance sheets, are principally composed of investment costs incurred in the acquisition and development of computer software used in Bank operations. Period expense is calculated following the straight-line method of amortization, considering the useful lives disclosed in Note 10(d).

73 70 71 Notes to the financial statements As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 (l) Securities, bonds and obligations outstanding - Liabilities arising from the issuance of securities, bonds and obligations are recorded at face value, recognizing the accrued interest in the statement of income. Discounts or premiums resulting from differences in face versus market value at the time of issuance are deferred in the Other assets or Other liabilities captions of the balance sheet, respectively, and are amortized over the life of the securities, bonds and obligations outstanding. (m) Income tax and workers' profit sharing - Income tax and worker's profit sharing are computed based on taxable income determined for tax purposes, based on principles that differ from the Bank's accounting principles, and therefore, the accounting for the deferred income tax and workers' profit sharing has been made in accordance with the principles of IAS 12- Income tax. In this sense, deferred income tax and workers' profit sharing recognize the effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial accounting purposes and the amounts determined for tax purposes. Deferred assets and liabilities are measured using the tax and workers' profit sharing rates that are expected to exist in the future and to be applied to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The measurement of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities reflects the tax consequences that arise from the manner in which the Bank expects, at the balance sheet dates, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized regardless of when the timing differences are likely to reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be generated against which the deferred assets can be offset. At each balance sheet date, the Bank assesses unrecognized deferred assets and the carrying amount of deferred assets recognized. The Bank may recognize a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has now become probable that future taxable income will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Likewise, the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reduced when it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable income will be available to allow the benefit related to the deferred tax asset to be recognized in part or in full. According to IAS 12, the Bank determines its deferred income tax and workers' profit sharing considering the tax rate applicable to its non-distributed earnings; any additional tax on distribution of dividends is recorded on the date such distribution is approved.

74 (n) Impairment of assets - When situations or economics changes indicate that the value of an asset could not be recoverable, the Bank reviews the value of property, furniture and equipment, and intangible assets in order to verify if there is no permanent impairment in their values. When the book value of the asset exceeds its recoverable value, a loss for impairment is recognized in the income statement for each caption mentioned above. The recoverable value is the higher between the net sale price and its useful value. The net sale price is the amount that can be obtained from the sale of an asset in a free market, while the useful value is the present value of the estimated future cash flows by the continuous use of an asset and its disposal at the end of its useful life. The recoverable amounts are estimated for each asset or if not possible, for each cash generating unit. (o) Fiduciary activities - Assets and revenues from fiduciary operations in which there is a commitment to return such assets to the clients and in which the Bank participates as a trustee have been excluded from these financial statements, because these are not owned by the Bank. These assets have been recorded, for control purposes, in off-balance sheet accounts. (p) Provisiones - Provisions are recognized when the Bank has a present legal obligation (legal or implicit) as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect Management's best estimate based on current information. When the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount recorded as a provision is equal to the present value of future payments required to settle the obligation. (q) Contingencies - Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements. They are disclosed in notes to the financial statements unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements; however, they may be disclosed if it is probable that an inflow of economic benefits will be realized. (r) Earnings per share - Basic earnings per share are computed dividing the net income among the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the balance sheet dates, deducing the treasury

75 72 73 Notes to the financial statements As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 stocks. Additional shares issued or shares cancelled in order to maintain investment parity after inflationary or deflationary adjustments of the financial statements until December 31, 2004, or after capitalization of earnings are treated as a stock-split and it is considered as if such shares were always issued. Thus, the weighted average number of shares used in prior year calculations has been modified to make the computation per share comparative (Note 22). As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Bank has no financial instruments with potentially dilutive effects, and therefore, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same. (s) Statements of cash flows - Cash presented in the statements of cash flows include cash and due from banks presented in the balance sheets as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, excluding their respective accrued interests. (t) Financial statements as of December 31, Certain reclassifications have been made to the year 2004 financial statements in order to make them comparable with year 2005 financial statements. In Bank's Management's opinion, the amount of the reclassifications made is not significant in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. (u) New accounting standards - The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has completed the review process of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), process known as the Improvement Project, and has issued new accounting standards. All revisions to the current IAS and the new issued IFRS are effective on an international basis starting January 1, 2005 (except IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments - Disclosures, which is effective starting January 1, 2007). As of today, the standards indicated in the following paragraph have been approved in Peru by the Peruvian Accounting Regulation Board (CNC, for its Spanish abbreviation) and its application is mandatory in Peru since January 1st, 2006; however, because these standards only apply in a supplementary manner to the accounting rules established by the SBS in its Accounting Manual, they will not have any significant effect in the preparation of the financial statements of the Bank, unless the SBS adopts them in the future through the modification of its Accounting Manual or the issuance of the specific standards.

76 Following a summary of the changes is presented: n IASB Improvement Project, reviewed fifteen IAS, which are IAS 1, 8, 10, 16, 17, 21, 24, 27, 28, 31, 32, 33 and 40 (reviewed in 2003) and IAS 39 (reviewed in 2004). n In addition, as a result of the revision of the standards related to business combinations, it was issued IFRS 3 - Businesses combinations, and were reviewed IAS 36 - Impairment of assets and IAS 38 - Intangible assets. n Also, the following IFRS have been issued: IFRS 1 - First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 2 - Share-Based Payments, IFRS 3 - Businesses Combinations, IFRS 4 - Insurance Contracts, IFRS 5 - Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, IFRS 6 - Exploration and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, IFRS 7- Financial Instruments - Disclosures. As regards with modified IAS 21 and IAS 27, the CNC, bearing in mind the further technical criteria study required, the circumstances prevailing in some companies to establish their functional currency and the importance granted by legal provisions in Peru to individual financial statements; by means of Resolution N EF/93.01 dated December 28, 2005, agreed to suspend the entry into effect of modified IAS 21 until December 31, 2006, without barring optional application thereof under the terms provided in Resolution N EF/93.01; and to maintain the use of the equity method in the preparation of individual financial statements to valuate investments in subsidiaries and associated companies, in addition to those mentioned in modified IAS 27 and IAS 28.

The paid tax, totally or partially, could be used as credit against the advanced payments in advance of the Income Tax from the periods going from March to December of the taxable period for which the Bank paid the tax, as well as against the final payment of the correspondent period. It is also possible to request for a refund of the tax when the Bank demonstrates a tax loss or a minor income tax based on the general regimen standards. The right to request for a refund will be generated with the presentation of the annual tax return of the relating period.

113 Notes to the financial statements As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 (b) To determine the income tax and the value added tax, the transfer prices of transactions with related entities and with or through entities domiciled in low or zero tax countries tax havens must be supported by documentation containing information about the valuation, methods applied and criteria used in determination of such. The Tax Authority has the faculty to request this information. Based on an analysis of the operations, Bank's Management and its legal advisors believe that the application of these tax standards will not originate significant contingencies for the Bank as of December 31, 2005 and (c) Tax Authority is legally entitled to review and, if necessary, adjust the income tax calculated by the Bank during the four years subsequent to the year of the related tax return filing. The income tax and value added tax returns from 2001 to 2005 are still subject to review by the Tax Authority. Due to various possible interpretations of current legislation, it is not possible to determine whether or not such audits will result in tax liabilities for the Bank; therefore, any additional tax or surcharge that may result from eventual tax reviews would be applied to the results of the year in which it is determined. However, in the opinion of the Bank's Management and its legal advisors, any additional tax assessment would not be significant to the Bank's financial statements as of December 31, 2005, and As indicated in paragraph (d), fiscal year 2000 has been reviewed during the year 2004 and the fiscal years 2001 to 2004 are in process of review by the Tax Authority, as a consequence of these reviews no additional liability significant to the Bank has been generated. (d) On April 2004, the Bank received Resolutions of Determination and Fine corresponding mainly to the income tax for the year The Bank has filed a claim against such resolutions. As of December 31, 2005 the Tax Authority's Claims Area has not solved these processes yet. In Bank's Management and its legal advisors opinion, any additional tax assessment would not be significant to the Bank's financial statements as of December 31, 2005 and 2004.

115 Notes to the financial statements As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 (b) In the normal course of business operations, the Bank is party to transactions with offbalance sheet risk exposures. These transactions expose the Bank to additional credit risk beyond those amounts recognized in the balance sheets. The Bank applies the same credit policies in the granting of commitments, guarantees, letters of credit and other conditional obligations as it does for the granting of on-balance sheet instruments or direct credits, Note 6; such policies include the requirement to obtain sufficient guarantees when such are deemed necessary. Guarantees held by the Bank vary in nature, and include deposits held in financial institutions, securities or other assets. Due to the fact that many of the contingent operations are expected to expire without any performance being required of the Bank, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. (c) As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the derivative operations maintained by the Bank relate to purchase and sale agreements of foreign currency forward transaction, were as follow: Notional amount Fair value US$(000) S/(000) US$(000) S/(000) US$(000) S/(000) Purchase agreements 36, ,175 36, ,828 2, Sale agreements 51, ,959 76, ,878 2,113 8,852 These contracts are made only with the purpose of satisfying the clients' needs and have maturities no longer than two years. Additionally, as of December 31, 2005, the Bank maintains exchange interest rates transactions that were realized by a notional amount of approximately S/57,485,000, equivalent to approximately US$16,759,000, and their fair values amounted to a liability of approximately S/71,040 (S/4,073,000, equivalent to US$1,241,000 as of December 31, 2004 and their fair value amounted to a liability of approximately S/64,235), the face value of these transactions are recorded in the caption Other off-balance sheet accounts - Other.

116 (d) The balance of Other off-balance sheet accounts includes many transactions that are recorded principally for control purposes. The most significant component of this balance relates to the caption "Guarantees received ; this balance presents items received in guarantee at the value agreed as of the date of the loan contract and does not necessarily represent the market value of guarantees received by the Bank. In addition, the balance of Other off-balance sheet accounts includes certain assets and liabilities from financial institutions in liquidation that were transferred to the Bank after public contests convened by the SBS and the execution of the Program for Consolidation of the Financial System. Consequently, the Bank acts as a trust to manage the assets and liabilities from these institutions, receiving fees indicated in the trustee agreements. In order to comply with the clauses included in those agreements, the Bank has granted stand-by letters for these institutions for approximately S/600,000 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, which mature when the agreements cease, in year 2006.

Likewise, as of December 31, 2004, with the SBS's knowledge, the Bank sold a portion of its Global Bonds portfolio held to maturity, with a nominal value of approximately US$93,447,000, generating a profit of approximately US$78,000 (equivalent to approximately S/256,000). 19.

123 Notes to the financial statements As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 Under Peruvian legislation, all loans to related parties must be made on terms no more favorable than the best terms that the Bank offers to the general public. Management believes that the Bank is in full compliance with all requirements imposed by current regulations respective to related party transactions. (b) Loans to employees - The Bank grants loans to its employees and officers under terms that are similar to those offered to third parties for the various types of loans and other financial products available through the Bank. Loans granted to employees principally relate to mortgage loans and are presented in the Loan portfolio caption of the balance sheets. The interest rates applied to employee loans are generally lower than market interest rates; however, all other terms of the loan are substantially the same as those of the market. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, loans to employees amounted to approximately S/20,021,000 and S/21,430,000, respectively. (c) Board of Directors fees - Total fees paid to the Board of Directors amounted to approximately S/839,000 and S/779,000 for the years ended 2005 and 2004, respectively; such amounts are included in the Administration expenses caption in the statements of income.

124 24. Risk assessment In the normal course of business operations, the Bank is exposed to market, liquidity, exchange and credit risks. In this sense, the Bank's Management, based on their knowledge and experience, controls said risks according to the following: Market risks - The Bank is exposed to market risk, which includes the risk of loss due to future adverse movements in the prices of products in the financial markets in which the Bank holds open positions. The Bank applies, on the basis of a series of assumptions for a variety of changes in the conditions of the market, the Value-at-Risk (VAR) methodology to estimate the market risk of main positions held and the maximum losses expected, Management sets the Value-at-Risk limits, that are acceptable; which are then monitored on a daily basis. Management also establishes individual limits for marketable securities, for the exchange positions, as well as for the derivative instruments; these limits consider the maximum amount of exposure, as the maximum values of individual loss that can be tolerated before demanding an immediate liquidation in the market (stop-loss); the fulfillment of these limits, along with the VAR of the Bank, are reviewed by Management. Nevertheless, the use of this control measurement does not eliminate all the probability that losses beyond the established limits take place due to extreme movements in the market prices. Liquidity risk - The Bank is exposed to daily withdrawal of its available cash resources from overnight deposits, current accounts, maturing deposits, loans reductions, guarantees and other withdrawals. The Bank does not maintain funds in cash for all of the aforementioned needs, since experience has proved that a minimum level of reinvestment of funds upon their maturity can be predicted with high degree of certainty. The Banks' Management establishes the limits as to the minimum amount of funds available to meet such calls and the minimum level of inter-bank loans and other types of loans that should be in place to cover withdrawals at unexpected levels of demands. In this sense, the matching and controlled mismatching of the maturities and interest rates of assets and liabilities is fundamental to the Management of the Bank; however, it is unusual for banks to be completely matched, as transacted business if often based on uncertain terms and of different types. The maturities of assets and liabilities and the ability to replace, at an acceptable cost, interestbearing liabilities as they mature are important factors in assessing the liquidity of the Bank and its exposure to changes in interest and an exchange rate.

125 Notes to the financial statements As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 Interest rate risk - The Bank is exposed to the effect of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on both its fair value and cash flow risks. Interest margins may increase as a result of such changes, but may reduce or create losses in the event that an unexpected movement arose. Management sets limits on the level of mismatch of interest rate repricing that may be undertaken, which is monitored frequently, nevertheless, in general, the Bank mainly presents short-term financings with variable interest rates. Resources for investing are mainly obtained form short-term liabilities, the interest of which are agreed at fixed and variable interest rates prevailing in the market. Loans, customer deposits and other financing instruments are subject to risk derived from interest rate fluctuations. The relevant contract maturity characteristics and interest rate of such financial instruments are disclosed in Note 6, 11 and 13. Currency risk - The Bank is exposed to effects of fluctuations in the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates on its financial position and cash flows. Management sets limits on the level of exposure by currency and in total of overnight positions, which are monitored daily. Most assets and liabilities are maintained in foreign currency. Foreign currency transactions are made at the free market exchange rate. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Banks' assets and liabilities by currencies are shown in Note 3. Credit risk - The Bank structures the levels of credit risk it undertakes by placing limits on the amount of risk accepted in relation to one borrower or groups of borrowers, and to geographical and industry segments. Such risks are monitored constantly and subject to a frequent review. Limits in the level of credit risk by product and industry sector are approved by the Board of Directors. Exposure to credit risk is managed through regular analysis of the ability of borrowers and potential borrowers to meet interest and capital repayment obligations and by changing these lending limits when appropriate. Exposure to credit risk is also managed in part by obtaining corporate and personal guarantees, but there is a significant portion of personal loans where no such guarantees can be obtained. Financial assets which show a potential credit risk are mainly cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing deposits in banks, trading securities, investments available-for-sale, loan portfolio and other assets. Cash and cash equivalent, as well as the deposits in banks are placed in prestige financial institutions. Real exposures against limits setting are monitored daily.

126 25. Fair value Fair value is defined as the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction, assuming an on-going enterprise. When a financial instrument is traded in an active and liquid market, its quoted market price in an actual transaction provides the best evidence of its fair value. When a quoted market price is not available, or may not be indicative of the fair value of the instrument, to determine such fair value the current market value of another instrument that is substantially similar, its discounted cash flow analysis or other estimation techniques may be used, all of which are significantly affected by assumptions used. Although Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. As a result, the fair value may not be indicative of the net realizable or liquidation value. A significant portion of the Banks' assets and liabilities are short-term financial instruments, with a remaining maturity of under one-year. These short-term financial instruments are considered to have a fair value equivalent to their carrying value at the balance sheet date, except for those with and active market. The methodologies and assumptions used to determine fair values depend on the terms and risk characteristics of the various financial instruments as show below: n Cash and due from banks represent cash and short-term deposits that do not represent significant credit or interest risks; in consequence, their book value is equivalent to their fair value. n The available-for-sale securities portfolio, are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Consequently, the estimated market value encompasses potential gains expected by the market but not realized, the fair value of these securities has been determined based on stock exchange prices or using investment valuation techniques. n The fair value of loans is similar to their book value, because such loans are mainly of a short-term nature and are shown net of their respective allowance for loan losses, which are considered by Management the best estimation of the recoverable amount at the date of the financial statements. n Management considers that the book value of the permanent investments approximates their fair value. This assumption is supported on the fact that a majority of the permanent investments are not traded financial instruments and are recorded under the equity method.

127 Notes to the financial statements As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 n The fair value of deposits and obligations is similar to their book value; mainly because of their liquid nature and that their variable interest rates can be compared with other similar liabilities. n For due to banks and correspondents that include variable interest rate terms and preferential rates, the Bank has estimated that carrying values do not differ significantly from their fair values. n For liabilities that bear interest and have original maturities greater than one year, the fair value was calculated based on discounted future cash flows, using the Bank's effective interest rate for liabilities with similar characteristics. n As disclosed in Note 17, the Bank has various commitments to extend credit, open documentary credits and outstanding guarantees and it has received guarantees in endorsement of the granted credits. Based on the level of fees currently charged for granting such commitments and open documentary credits, taking into account maturity and interest rates, together with the present creditworthiness of the counterparties, the difference between the book value and the fair value is not significant. n Except for currency forwards and interest rate swaps, the Bank does not enter into other agreements, generally described as derivative transactions. The Bank records these derivatives in the balance sheet at their fair value. As a consequence of the analysis previously describe, Bank's Management considered that as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the book values of its financial instruments do not differ significantly from their fair values. 26. Explanation added for English translation The accompanying financial statements are presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in Peru for financial entities. Certain accounting practices applied by the Bank, that conform to accounting principles generally accepted in Peru for financial entities, may differ in certain respects to generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. In the event of a discrepancy, the Spanish - language version prevails.
