     2. Nature of Business

Supervision and Regulation

      In October 2006, in its mid term review of the Annual Policy Statement for fiscal 2007, the Reserve Bank of India extended the guideline for full compliance with Basel II. Under the new time frame, foreign banks operating in India and Indian banks having presence outside India are required to migrate to the standardized approach for credit risk and the basic indicator approach for operational risk under Basel II with effect from March 31, 2008. All other scheduled commercial banks are required to migrate to these approaches under Basel II in alignment with them, but in any case not later than March 31, 2009.

      In October 2006, in its mid term review of the Annual Policy Statement for fiscal 2007, with a view to providing further flexibility to authorized dealer banks in seeking access to funds overseas, the Reserve Bank of India proposed that authorized dealer banks would be allowed to borrow funds from their overseas branches and correspondent banks up to a limit of 50.0% of unimpaired Tier I capital or US$ 10.0 million, whichever is higher, as against the earlier overall limit of 25.0% . However, short-term borrowings up to a period of one year or less would not exceed 20.0% of unimpaired Tier I capital within the overall limit of 50.0% . All borrowings in the form of subordinated debt placed by head offices of foreign banks with their branches in India as Tier II capital, capital funds raised/augmented by issue of innovative perpetual debt instruments (IPDI) and other overseas borrowing with the specific approval of the Reserve Bank of India would continue to be outside the limit of 50.0% .

      In April, 2003 Indian banks were permitted to extend credit/non-credit facilities to Indian Joint Ventures (JVs)/Wholly Owned Subsidiaries (WOS) abroad up to the extent of 10.0% of their unimpaired capital funds (Tier I and Tier II), subject to certain conditions. In its mid term review of the Annual Policy Statement announced in October 2006, the Reserve Bank of India has proposed to enhance the prudential limit on credit and non-credit facilities extended by banks from the existing 10.0% to 20.0% of unimpaired capital funds of the bank.

      The Reserve Bank of India in a circular dated November 28, 2006, permitted classification of loans granted to Self Help Groups (SHGs) engaged in agriculture and allied activities as direct finance to agriculture within the priority sector as long as such disaggregated data on the SHG/microfinance portfolio is maintained.

      In a recent circular the Reserve Bank of India has limited banks' capital market exposure to 40.0% of their net worth as on March 31 of the previous year on a solo basis. Within this limit direct investments in shares, convertible bonds/debentures, units of equity oriented mutual funds and all exposures to venture capital funds have been restricted to 20.0% of their net worth. On a consolidated basis, the exposure to capital markets has been restricted to 40.0% of the consolidated net worth as on March 31 of the previous year with direct investments in shares, convertible bonds/debentures, units of equity oriented mutual funds and all exposures to venture capital funds restricted to 20.0% of their consolidated net worth.

      The Reserve Bank of India in a press release dated December 8, 2006, increased the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) by 50 bps from 5.0% to 5.5% . The increase is to take place in two stages of 25 bps each and will be effective as follows:

     December 23, 2006: 5.0% to 5.25%

- 6 -




     January 6, 2007: 5.25% to 5.5%

      The Reserve Bank of India has also issued draft guidelines in the following areas which are yet to be finalised.

       a. Capital market exposure
       b. Derivatives; and
       c. Priority sector lending

Non-banking financial companies

      On December 12, 2006, the Reserve Bank of India issued guidelines on Financial Regulation of Systematically Important NBFCs and Banks' Relationship with them with a view to remove the possibility of regulatory arbitrage leading to an uneven playing field and potential systemic risk. Within non-deposit taking NBFCs, the guidelines classify those with asset size above Rs. 1.00 billion as per the last audited balance sheet as systemically important. These NBFCs are required to maintain a minimum capital to risk weighted assets ratio (CRAR) of 10.0%, in addition to conforming to single and group exposure norms. The guidelines restrict banks' holding in a deposit taking NBFC, excluding housing finance companies, to 10.0% of the paid up equity capital of the NBFC. The total exposure to a single NBFC has been limited to 10.0% of the bank's capital fund while exposure to a NBFC-Asset Finance Company has been restricted to 15.0% of the bank's capital fund. The limit is increased to 15.0% and 20.0% respectively provided that the excess exposure is on account of on lent funds by the NBFC to infrastructure sectors. Banks have also been advised to fix internal limits for their aggregate exposure to all NBFCs put together. Currently, NBFCs not belonging to any banking group are permitted to offer discretionary portfolio management as a product, as permitted by their respective regulators. The regulations have permitted bank sponsored NBFCs to offer discretionary portfolio management services to their clients on a case by case basis.

Credit Policy Measures

     Mid Term Review of the Annual Policy Statement for Fiscal 2007

      In its mid term review announced on October 31, 2006, the Reserve Bank of India raised the repo rate by 25 basis points from 7.0% to 7.25% while keeping the reverse repo rate unchanged at 6.0% . The bank rate was kept unchanged at 6.0% . The Reserve Bank also extended the time frame for full compliance with Basel II norms to March 31, 2008 for foreign banks operating in India and Indian banks presence overseas. All other scheduled commercial banks are required to be in full compliance with Basel II norms by no later than March 31, 2009.

     Except as stated above, there have been no material changes.

     3. State of Affiliated Companies

      ICICI Web Trade Limited, a company that was owned by a private equity fund managed by ICICI Venture Funds Management Company Limited and provides web and telephone-based brokering services has been amalgamated with ICICI Brokerage Services Limited, a subsidiary of ICICI Securities Limited providing brokerage services to institutional clients, effective October 1, 2006.

III. STATEMENT OF BUSINESS

     1. Outline of Results of Operations, etc.

      The following discussion is based on the audited unconsolidated financial statements of ICICI Bank Limited.

      Profit after tax increased by 23.9% to Rs. 13.8 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from Rs. 11.1 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005. Profit before provisions and tax increased by 41.1% to Rs. 28.4 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from Rs. 20.1 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to a 49.7% increase in net interest income to Rs. 30.5 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from Rs. 20.4 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005, increase in non-interest income by 29.3% to Rs. 28.5 billion in six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from Rs. 22.0 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 offset, in part, by increase in non-interest expenses by 37.3% to Rs. 30.6 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from Rs. 22.3 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005. Provisions and contingencies (excluding provision for tax) increased to Rs. 11.9 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from Rs. 6.0 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005.

  Net interest income increased by 49.7% to Rs. 30.5 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from Rs. 20.4 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005, primarily reflecting an increase of 58.5% in the average volume of interest-earning assets.
   
  Non-interest income increased by 29.3% to Rs. 28.5 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from Rs. 22.0 billion primarily due to a 55.4% increase in commission, exchange and brokerage, offset in part by a decrease in treasury income.
   
  Non-interest expense increased by 37.3% to Rs. 30.6 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from Rs. 22.3 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to a 59.4% increase in employee expenses and a 38.1% increase in other administrative expenses.
   
  Provisions and contingencies (excluding provision for tax) increased to Rs. 11.9 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from Rs. 6.0 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to an increase in net provision for non performing assets, general provision for standard assets and provision for investments in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006.
   
  Total assets increased 49.2% to Rs. 2,823.7 billion at September 30, 2006 from Rs. 1,892.2 billion at September 30, 2005 primarily due to an increase in loans by 45.1% and an increase in investments by 50.0%.

Net Interest Income

      The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the principal components of net interest income.

    Six-month period ended September 30,
   
    2005   2006   2006   2006/2005
% change
    (in millions, except percentages)  
                         
Interest income   Rs. 64,453     Rs. 105,081     JPY 297,379     63.0 %
Interest expense   (44,064 )   (74,558 )   (210,999 )   69.2  
Net interest income   Rs. 20,389     Rs. 30,523     JPY 86,380     49.7 %

     Net interest income increased by 49.7% to Rs. 30.5 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006, from Rs. 20.4 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 reflecting mainly the following:

  an increase of Rs. 901.0 billion or 58.5% in the average volume of interest-earning assets; and
   
  net interest margin of 2.5% for the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to 2.6% for the six-month period ended September 30, 2005.

     In February 2006, the Reserve Bank of India issued guidelines for accounting for securitisation of standard assets. In accordance with these guidelines with effect from February 1, 2006 we account for any loss arising on securitisation immediately at the time of sale and the profit/premium arising on account of securitisation is amortised over the life of the asset. Prior to February 1, 2006, profit arising on account of securitisation has been recorded upfront at the time of sale. Income from sell down of loans, which was approximately 15.9% of net interest income in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005, was negligible in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 due to the impact of the aforesaid guidelines requiring amortisation of profit on securitisation from February 1, 2006 and the prevailing liquidity and interest rate scenario.

      We use marketing agents, called direct marketing agents or associates, for sourcing our automobile loans. Until the year ended March 31, 2006, we deducted commission paid to direct marketing agents of automobile loans from interest income. For the six-month period ended September 30, 2006, we have reported all direct marketing agency expenses, on automobile loans and other retail loans, separately under "non-interest expense". These commissions are expensed upfront and not amortised over the life of the loan. The necessary reclassifications have been made in the financial statements for the six-month period ended September 30, 2005.

      The average volume of interest-earning assets increased by Rs. 901.0 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 primarily due to the increase in average advances by Rs. 519.0 billion and increase in average investments by Rs. 253.1 billion. The increase in average advances was mainly due to increased disbursement of retail loans and increase in average investments was mainly due to increased investment in government securities. Retail advances, net of provisions and write-off, increased by 57.1% to Rs. 1,076.8 billion at September 30, 2006 from Rs. 685.4 billion at September 30, 2005.

      Interest income increased by 63.0% to Rs. 105.1 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from Rs. 64.5 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to an increase of 58.5% in the average interest-earning assets to Rs. 2,441.4 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from Rs. 1,540.4 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005. Yield on average

- 10 -




interest-earning assets increased to 8.6% in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from 8.4% in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to a increase in the yield on advances portfolio by 0.4% to 9.6% in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from 9.2% in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005. The yield on advances has increased despite the significant decline in income from sell-down of loans due to an increase in lending rates in line with the general increase in interest rates and an increase in the volume of certain high yielding loans. Our prime lending rate (ICICI Bank's benchmark lending rate) has increased by 225 basis points in the period from September 30, 2005 to September 30, 2006. Our benchmark rate for floating home loans has increased by 150 basis points in the same period.

      Total interest expense increased 69.2% to Rs. 74.6 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from Rs. 44.1 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to an increase of 55.2% in average interest-bearing liabilities to Rs. 2,345.7 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from Rs. 1,511.3 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 and an increase of 50 basis points in our cost of funds to 6.3% in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from 5.8% in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005. Total deposits at September 30, 2006 constituted 78.6% of our funding (comprising deposits, borrowings and subordinated debts) compared to 74.1% at September 30, 2005. Total deposits increased 57.3% to Rs. 1,895.0 billion at September 30, 2006 from Rs. 1,204.5 billion at September 30, 2005. This is commensurate with our focus of increasing funding through deposits. Our cost of deposits has increased by 1.0% to 6.0% in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from 5.0% in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 consequent to the general increase in interest rates reflecting a tight systemic liquidity scenario, particularly since February 2006, and increases in deposit rates for retail and other customers in fiscal 2006. The cost of borrowings declined to 7.6% in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from 7.8% in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to repayment of high costs borrowings of erstwhile ICICI Limited.

      As a result of the higher cost of funds and decrease in the income from sell down of loans, our net interest margin decreased to 2.5% in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from 2.6% in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005. Our net interest margin is expected to continue to be lower than other banks in India until we repay the borrowings of ICICI Limited and increase the proportion of retail deposits in our total funding. The net interest margin is also impacted by the relatively lower net interest margin earned by our overseas branches, which is offset by the higher fee income that we are able to earn by leveraging our international presence and our ability to meet the foreign currency borrowing requirements of Indian companies.

Non-Interest Income

      The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the principal components of our non-interest income.

(1) Includes profit/loss on sale of investments and revaluation of investments and foreign exchange gain/loss.

      Non-interest income increased by 29.3% in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 to Rs. 28.5 billion from Rs. 22.0 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to a 55.4% increase in commission, exchange and brokerage and a 12.5% increase in other income, offset, in part by a 25.2% decline in lease income.

      Commission, exchange and brokerage increased by 55.4% to Rs. 19.5 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from Rs. 12.5 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to growth in retail banking fee income arising from retail assets like home loans and credit cards and retail liability product income like account servicing charges, increase in transaction banking fee income from corporate banking and increase in fee income from international banking operations.

      Total income from treasury-related activities was Rs. 5.1 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 as compared to Rs. 5.4 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005, due to lower capital gains as a result of the sharp fall in the equity markets in May 2006 and adverse conditions in the debt markets. Income from treasury-related activities includes income from derivatives reflecting primarily the transactions undertaken with customers by us and hedged internally or in the inter-bank market and income from merchant foreign exchange transactions.

      Lease income decreased by 25.2% to Rs. 1.3 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from Rs. 1.7 billion n the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 mainly due to a reduction in lease assets since we are not entering into new lease transactions. Our total leased assets were Rs. 10.5 billion at September 30, 2006 compared to Rs. 12.7 billion at September 30, 2005.

      Other income increased by 12.5% to Rs. 2.6 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to Rs. 2.4 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005. Other income includes the unrealised gain/loss on certain derivative transactions.

Total non-interest expenses   Rs. 22,262   Rs. 30,567   JPY 86,505   37.3 %

      Total non-interest expense increased by 37.3% in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 to Rs. 30.6 billion from Rs. 22.3 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to a 59.4% increase in employee expenses and a 38.1% increase in other administrative expenses.

      Employee expenses increased 59.4% to Rs. 7.5 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from Rs. 4.7 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to a 33.9% increase in the number of employees to 30,784 at September 30, 2006 from 22,992 at September 30, 2005, annual increase in the salaries and higher cost due to monetisation of benefits on loan facilities available to employees at concessional rates of interests and other employee benefits. The increase in employees was commensurate with the growth in our retail businesses.

      Depreciation on our own property remained at Rs. 1.7 billion for the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 as compared to September 30, 2005.

      Other administrative expenses increased by 38.1% to Rs. 13.1 billion from Rs. 9.5 billion primarily due to the increased volume of business, particularly in retail banking, and includes maintenance of ATMs, credit card expenses and call centre expenses. The number of savings accounts increased to about 8.6 million at September 30, 2006 from about 6.9 million at September 30, 2005. The volume of credit cards in force has increased to about 6.2 million at September 30, 2006 from about 3.6 million at September 30, 2005. The number of ATMs increased to 2,336 at September 30, 2006 from 2,030 at September 30, 2005.

      Depreciation (net of lease equilisation) on leased assets has reduced by 20.1% to Rs. 1.0 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from Rs. 1.3 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to the reduction in leased assets to Rs. 10.5 billion at September 30, 2006 from Rs. 12.7 billion at September 30, 2005.

      We use marketing agents, called direct marketing agents or associates, for sourcing our retail assets. We include commissions paid to these direct marketing agents of our retail assets in operating expenses. These commissions are expensed upfront and not amortised over the life of the loan. We incurred direct marketing agency expenses of Rs. 7.2 billion on the retail asset portfolio in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to Rs. 5.1

- 13 -




billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005. The growth in direct marketing expenses was commensurate with growth in business volumes.

Provisions and Contingencies

      The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the components of provisions and contingencies.

    2005   2006   2006   2006/2005
% change
   
 
 
 
    (in millions, except percentages)
Provision for investments (including credit substitutes) (net)   Rs. 3,306   Rs. 5,334   JPY 15,095   61.3 %
Provision for non-performing assets and for standard assets(1)                  
    2,482   5,992   16,957   141.4  
Others   229   595   1,684   159.8  
Total provisions and contingencies (excluding tax)   Rs. 6,017   Rs. 11,921   JPY 33,736   98.1 %

___________
(1)      We do not distinguish between provisions and write-offs while assessing the adequacy of our loan loss coverage, as both provisions and write-offs represent a reduction of the principal amount of a non-performing asset. In compliance with regulations governing the presentation of financial information by banks, gross non-performing assets are reported gross of provisions net of cumulative write-offs in our financial statements.
 

      We classify our loans in accordance with the Reserve Bank of India guidelines. Provisions and contingencies (excluding provisions for tax) increased to Rs. 11.9 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from Rs. 6.0 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to higher provisions created on standard assets, in accordance with the revised guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India, a higher level of amortisation of premium on government securities (resulting in a larger provision for investments) and a lower level of write-backs.

      Under the Reserve Bank of India's guidelines issued in September 2005, banks were required to make general provision at 0.4% on standard loans (excluding loans to the agricultural sector and to small and medium enterprises). Under the Reserve Bank of India's guidelines issued in May 2006, the general provisioning requirement for personal loans, loans and advances qualifying as capital market exposure, residential housing loans beyond Rs. 2 million and commercial real estate was further increased to 1.0% from 0.4% . The Reserve Bank of India has allowed banks to create the above additional provision of 0.6% in a phased manner in fiscal 2007.

      In accordance with the above guidelines, the standard asset provision in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 was Rs. 1.3 billion as compared to Rs. 0.4 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005. The amortisation of premium on government securities in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 was Rs. 5.1 billion as compared to Rs. 3.4 billion in the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 primarily reflecting an increase of 44.0% in investments in government securities.

Tax Expense

      Total tax expense was Rs. 2.8 billion for the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to Rs. 3.0 billion for the six-month period ended September 30, 2005. Income tax expense was Rs. 2.5 billion for the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to Rs. 2.9 billion for the six-month period ended September 30, 2005. The effective rate of tax

expense was 16.7% for the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to the effective rate of income tax expense of 21.4% for the six-month period ended September 30, 2005. The effective tax rate of 16.7% for the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 was lower compared to the statutory tax rate of 33.66% primarily due to exemption of dividend income, deduction of income of offshore banking unit, deduction towards special reserve and the concessional rate of tax on capital gains and deferred tax asset on carry forward capital losses.

Financial Condition

      Our total assets increased 49.2% to Rs. 2,823.7 billion at September 30, 2006 from Rs. 1,892.2 billion at September 30, 2005 primarily due to an increase in advances and investments. Net advances increased 45.1% to Rs. 1,554.0 billion at September 30, 2006 from Rs. 1,070.7 billion at September 30, 2005 primarily due to increase in retail advances in accordance with our strategy of growth in our retail portfolio, offset, in part by reduction in advances due to repayments and securitisations. Total investments at September 30, 2006 increased 50.0% to Rs. 829.9 billion from Rs. 553.2 billion at September 30, 2005 primarily due to a 46.1% increase in investments in government and other approved securities to Rs. 607.1 billion at September 30, 2006 from Rs. 415.7 billion at September 30, 2005 in line with our growth in our balance sheet. Other investments (including debentures and bonds) increased by 62.0% to Rs. 222.8 billion at September 30, 2006 from Rs. 137.5 billion at September 30, 2005, reflecting an increase in investments in insurance and international subsidiaries, pass through certificates and credit linked notes.

Other assets increased to Rs. 162.3 billion at September 30, 2006 from Rs. 98.8 billion at September 30, 2005.

      Our equity share capital and reserves at September 30, 2006 was Rs. 235.5 billion as compared to Rs. 137.2 billion at September 30, 2005 primarily due to additional equity capital of Rs. 80.0 billion issued in fiscal 2006, the retained profits for the year and exercise of employee stock options.

      2.      Other Matters

           (1)      Legal and Regulatory Proceedings

            At November 30, 2006, there were 18 litigations (each involving a claim of Rs. 10.0 million and more) against us, in the aggregate amount of approximately Rs. 93.63 billion (to the extent quantifiable and including amounts claimed jointly and severally from us and other parties). At November 30, 2006, two litigations were pending against our directors in an aggregate amount of approximately Rs. 56.31 billion (to the extent quantifiable). There were five litigations where amounts claimed from us are Rs. 1.00 billion or higher.

           (2)      Subsequent Events

            In November 2006, CRISIL, an Indian credit rating agency, revised the rating of pass through certificates issued by a trust backed by personal loan receivables securitised by us. The rating was revised from AAA (SO) to AA (SO) due to higher than anticipated utilisation of the cash collateral stipulated at the initiation of the transaction.

3.      Major Differences between United States and Japanese Accounting Principles and Practices

      [Prepared by KPMG.]

     The financial statements of the Bank for the year ended March 31, 2006 include notes describing the differences between accounting principles generally accepted in India and those in the Untied States of America (“US GAAP”) and disclose net income and stockholders’ equity under US GAAP (The interim financial statements presented in this document do not include such notes nor disclosure). Summarized hereunder are significant differences between the accounting policies under US GAAP adopted in preparation of these figures and Japanese accounting principles.

(1)      Principles of consolidation

      The Bank consolidates subsidiaries in which it holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights or where it exercises control. The Bank also consolidates entities deemed to be variable interest entities where the Bank is determined to be the primary beneficiary under FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”.

      In Japan, a concept of variable interest entities is not used to determine the scope of consolidation.

(2)      Venture capital investments

      The Bank’s venture capital funds carry their investments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in gain/loss on venture capital investments. Quoted investments are generally valued at the closing market price at year-end. Quoted investments that are not traded on the valuation date but are traded during the two months prior to the valuation date are valued at the latest known closing price. Quoted investments not traded during the two months prior to the valuation date are treated as unquoted. Unquoted investments are valued at their estimated fair values by applying appropriate valuation methods.

      In Japan, there is no specific accounting standard for venture capital investments, and accounting for such investments should follow general accounting standards for investments in securities.

(3)      Goodwill

      The Bank does not amortize goodwill but instead tests goodwill for impairment at least annually.

- 25 -





      In Japan, goodwill arising from purchasing a business was amortized within five years and goodwill arising from purchasing a company that was subsequently consolidated was amortized within twenty years under the Commercial Code Enforcement Regulation of Japan. However, as a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards for Business Combinations, effective for the fiscal year beginning on and after April 1, 2006, goodwill arising from business combinations is now required to be amortized over a period not exceeding 20 years.

(4)      Share-based compensation

      The Bank uses the intrinsic value method to account for its employee stock-based compensation plans. Compensation cost for fixed and variable stock based awards is measured by the excess, if any, of the fair market price of the underlying stock over the exercise price. Compensation cost for fixed awards is measured at the grant date, while compensation cost for variable awards is estimated until the number of shares an individual is entitled to receive and the exercise price are known (measurement date).

      In Japan, "Accounting Standard for Stock Options" was issued in December 2005 for the accounting for stock-based compensation. This accounting standard applies to share options granted to employees, other share options and shares within the scope of the standard on and after the date on which the Corporation Law takes effect (May 1, 2006). Under the standard, the intrinsic value based method is not used and the compensation expenses are accounted for based on the fair value at the grant date.

(5)      Loan origination fees

      Loan origination fees (net of costs) are amortised over the period of the loans as an adjustment to the yield on the loan.

      In Japan, there is no specific accounting standard for amotisation of loan origination fees.

(6)      Hedge accounting

     The Bank has designated certain derivatives as fair value hedges. Under fair value hedge accounting, changes in fair value of derivatives are recognized in the profit and loss account along with the changes in fair value of hedged items.

      In Japan, hedge accounting was generally achieved by deferring gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of hedging instruments as an asset or liability until when the gain or loss on the hedged item is recognized in the statement of income. However, as a result of the adoption of “Accounting Standards for Presentation of Net Asset in the Balance Sheet”, effective for the fiscal year ending on and after May 1, 2006,

- 26 -





deferred gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of hedging instruments are directly recognized in equity, net of tax effect.

4.      Major Differences between Indian and Japanese Accounting Principles and Practices

      [Prepared by KPMG.]

     The interim financial statements of the Bank are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in India. Summarized hereunder are significant differences between the accounting policies adopted by the Bank and Japanese accounting principles.

(1)      Principles of consolidation

     The Bank consolidates subsidiaries in which it holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights or where it exercises control. Assets, liabilities, income and expenditure of the jointly controlled entities are consolidated using the proportionate consolidation method. Under the proportionate consolidation method the Bank’s share of each of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses is reported as separate line items in the consolidated financial statements.

      In Japan, there is no concept of proportionate consolidation method.

(2)      Stock issue costs

      The expenses of the issue have been charged to the share premium account.

     In Japan, stock issue costs are either charged to expense as incurred or deferred to be amortized over three years.

(3)      Sale of loans

     The Bank transfers commercial and consumer loans through securitization transactions. The transferred loans are de-recognised and gains / losses are recorded only if the Bank surrenders the rights to benefits specified in the loan contract. Net income arising from sell down of loan assets is recognised upfront in interest income. With effect from February 1, 2006, in accordance with new guidelines issued by RBI, net income arising from securitization of loan assets is amortized over the life of securities issued or to be issued by the special purpose vehicle/special purpose entity to which the assets are sold.

     Under the Japanese accounting principles, the transfer of loans are recognized as sales and the resulting gains are recognized if derecognition requirements for financial assets under the financial component approach are met.

- 27 -





(4)      Share-based compensation

     The Bank uses the intrinsic value based method as prescribed by the guidance note on ‘Accounting for Stock Options” issued by ICAI to account for its stock-based employees compensation plans. Compensation cost for fixed and variable stock-based awards is measured by the excess, if any, of the fair market price of the underlying stock over the exercise price. Compensation cost for fixed awards is measured at the grant date, while compensation cost for variable awards is estimated until the number of shares an individual is entitled to receive and the exercise price are known (measurement date).

     In Japan, "Accounting Standard for Stock Options" was issued in December 2005 for the accounting for stock-based compensation. This accounting standard applies to share options granted to employees, other share options and shares within the scope of the standard on and after the date on which the Corporation Law takes effect (May 1, 2006). Under the standard, the intrinsic value based method is not used and the compensation expenses are accounted for based on the fair value at the grant date.

(5)      Retirement benefit

     In respect of gratuity benefit and other benefit schemes, where the Bank makes payments for retirement benefits out of its own funds, provisions are made in the profit and loss account based on actuarial valuation. In cases where the liability for retirement benefits is funded through a scheme administered by an insurer, the contributions payable during the year to the insurer is charged to the profit and loss account for that year.

     In Japan, defined benefit plan is accounted for based on the actuarial calculations, with actuarial gains or losses being amortized over a certain period of years within the average remaining service period.

(6)      Mark-to-market of securities

     Net unrealized gains on investments by category are ignored, except for the insurance subsidiaries wherein the unrealized gains and losses are transferred to the fair value change account grouped under Revenue and Other Reserves.

     In Japan, unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are recognized in the profit and loss account and those on other securities are recorded in equity.

- 28 -





(7)      Acquisition costs of securities

     Costs including brokerage and commission pertaining to investments, paid at the time of acquisition, are charged to the profit and loss account.

      In Japan, such costs are included in acquisition costs of securities.

(8)      Profit on sale of held-to-maturities securities

     Profit on sale of investments in the ‘Held to Maturity’ category is credited to the profit and loss account and is thereafter appropriated (net of applicable taxes and statutory reserve requirements) to capital reserve.

     In Japan, such profit is recognized in the profit and loss account upon sale. There is no specific standard concerning transfer of such profit to reserve.

(9)      Venture capital investments

     The Bank’s venture capital funds carry their investments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in gain/loss on venture capital investments. Quoted investments are generally valued at the closing market price at year-end. Quoted investments that are not traded on the valuation date but are traded during the two months prior to the valuation date are valued at the latest known closing price. Quoted investments not traded during the two months prior to the valuation date are treated as unquoted. Unquoted investments are valued at their estimated fair values by applying appropriate valuation methods.

     In Japan, there is no specific accounting standard for venture capital investments, and accounting for such investments should follow general accounting standards for investments in securities.

(10)      Provisions for loan losses

     The Bank follows the RBI norms for income recognition and asset classification. Provisions are made on sub-standard and doubtful assets at rates prescribed by RBI. RBI norms also allow banks to create additional floating provisions over and above the specific provisions. The additional floating provisions are in general based on losses anticipated by the Bank on historical loss experiences or expected anticipated losses in certain loans. For restructured/rescheduled assets, provision is made by the Bank in accordance with the guidelines issued by RBI, which requires the present value of the interest sacrifice be provided at the time of restructuring.

     In Japan, provision for loan losses in banks is established based on the self-assessment and the historical loss ratio and outstanding balance of each asset category. Alternatively, it is also permitted to calculate based on the difference between the discounted future cash flows using the original effective interest rate and the outstanding balance. The regulatory agency does not prescribe certain rate to be used for calculation of provisions in banks.

(11)      Hedge accounting

     Under Indian GAAP, the swap contracts entered to hedge on-balance sheet assets and liabilities are structured in such a way that they bear an opposite and offsetting impact with the underlying on-balance sheet items. The impact of such derivative instruments is correlated with the movement of underlying assets and accounted for at fair value or on accrual basis, in accordance with RBI guidelines.

     In Japan, all derivatives are marked to market with unrealized gains and losses being deferred to the extent that the requirements for hedge accounting are met.

(12)      Impairment of long-lived assets

     Long-lived assets and certain intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognised is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

      In Japan, undiscounted cash flows are used for assessment of impairment.

(13)      Deferred tax

     The Bank recognizes deferred tax based on virtual certainty. A deferred tax asset is recognised on unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward losses under tax laws to the extent there is convincing evidence that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.

     In Japan, deferred tax is recognized based on the schedule for reversal of temporary difference as a whole. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized on part of undistributed profits of subsidiaries that are expected to be taxed upon payment as dividends.

(14)      Dividends

      In Japan, dividends are recognized upon approval in the annual general meeting.
