Supervision and Regulation
In October 2007, RBI issued amendments to guidelines on asset-liability management to improve the management of liquidity by banks and to provide a stimulus for development of the term-money market. RBI has advised banks to adopt a more detailed approach to measurement of liquidity risk effective January 1, 2008 by splitting the first time period (1-14 days at present) in the statement of structural liquidity into three time periods - next day, 2-7 days and 8-14 days. The net cumulative negative liquidity mismatches during the next day, 2-7 days, 8-14 days and 15-28 days periods should not exceed 5.0%, 10.0%, 15.0% and 20.0% of the cumulative cash outflows in the respective time periods in order to recognize the cumulative impact on liquidity. Banks have also been permitted to undertake dynamic liquidity management and instructed to prepare the structural liquidity statement on a daily basis. Currently, banks monitor their cumulative mismatches across two time buckets of 1-14 days and 15-28 days.
In August 2007, RBI decided to regulate external commercial borrowings ("ECBs") by borrowers in India. ECBs in excess of US$ 20.0 million per borrower would now be permitted only for foreign currency expenditure (and not for rupee expenditure). In addition, ECBs in excess of US$ 20.0 million would need to be retained overseas until actual requirement in India. For rupee expenditure, ECBs would be permitted only up to US$ 20.0 million, with the prior approval of RBI.
In August 2007, RBI issued a discussion paper on holding companies in banking groups, on which it has invited comments. In the discussion paper, RBI has stated that there are advantages in having a financial or bank holding company structure, for which a proper legal framework needs to be created. However, it has stated that it would be desirable to avoid intermediate holding company structures, of the type proposed by us for our insurance and asset management subsidiaries.
In October 2007, to enhance the range of eligible instruments available to banks for capital adequacy purposes, RBI issued guidelines permitting banks to issue preference shares as part of regulatory capital. Banks have been allowed to issue perpetual non-cumulative preference shares as part of tier I capital and perpetual cumulative preference shares, redeemable non-cumulative preference shares and redeemable cumulative preference shares as part of tier II capital. The guideline is not applicable to private sector banks subject to amendments to the Banking Regulation Act.
In October 2007, RBI issued guidelines regarding valuation of non-performing assets being put up for sale. Banks have been instructed to work out the net present value of the estimated cash flows associated with the realizable value of the available asset net of the cost of realization. The sale price should not be lower than the net present value. RBI has instructed banks to follow the same procedure in case of compromise settlements as well.
In November 2007, RBI issued draft guidelines for banks engaging recovery agents. RBI has asked banks to put in place a due diligence process for engagement of recovery agents, structured to cover individuals involved in the recovery process. Banks are expected to communicate details of recovery agents to borrowers and have in place

grievance redressal mechanism pertaining to the recovery process. Further, banks have been advised to ensure that recoveries happen through lawful means only. RBI has advised banks to initiate a training course for current and prospective recovery agents to ensure prudent recovery practices. The guidelines are currently under discussion.
Credit Policy Measures
Mid-Term Review of the Annual Policy Statement for Fiscal 2008
In its mid-term review announced on October 30, 2007, RBI raised the cash reserve ratio by 50 basis points from 7.0% to 7.5% while keeping the bank rate, repo rate and reverse repo rate unchanged.
Except as stated above, there have been no material changes.
3. | State of Affiliated Companies |

III. | STATEMENT OF BUSINESS |
1. | Outline of Results of Operations, etc. |
The following discussion is based on the audited unconsolidated financial results of ICICI Bank Limited for the six months ended September 30, 2007.
Profit before provisions and tax increased by 46.2% to Rs. 34.12 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from Rs. 23.34 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to a 28.4% increase in net interest income, and a 41.3% increase in non-interest income offset, in part, by a 26.8% increase in non-interest expense. Provisions and contingencies (excluding provision for tax) increased to Rs. 11.97 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from Rs. 6.83 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2006 due to the higher level of specific provisioning on loans, particularly retail and rural loans reflecting the seasoning of the loan portfolio and the change in the portfolio mix towards non-collateralized retail loans. Profit after tax increased by 29.3% to Rs. 17.78 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from Rs. 13.75 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2006.
· | Net interest income (net of amortization of premium on government securities) increased by 28.4% to Rs. 32.65 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from Rs. 25.43 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2006, primarily reflecting an increase of 28.5% in the average volume of interest-earning assets. As per guidelines issued by RBI amortization of premium on government securities is now deducted from interest earned. Previous period/years figures have been regrouped/re-classified based on current year's classification. |
· | Non-interest income increased by 41.3% to Rs. 40.23 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from Rs. 28.48 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to a 24.6% increase in income from commission, exchange and brokerage and a 69.9% increase in income from treasury-related activities. Income from commission, exchange and brokerage primarily includes fees from structuring and advisory fees, fees from retail asset products and loan processing fees. Treasury related activities primarily include capital gains from sale of shares and government securities. |
· | Non-interest expenses increased by 26.8% to Rs. 38.76 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from Rs. 30.57 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to a 39.0% increase in employee expenses and a 36.4% increase in other administrative expenses like rent, taxes and lighting charges and retail business expenses. |
· | Provisions and contingencies (excluding provision for tax) increased to Rs. 11.97 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from Rs. 6.83 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to a higher level of specific provisioning on loans. Net provision on non-performing loans increased in the six months ended September 30, 2007 compared to six months ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to increase in provisioning on retail loans. The increase in provisioning on retail loans primarily reflects the seasoning of the loan portfolio and the change in the portfolio mix towards non-collateralized retail loans. |

· | Total assets increased by 29.2% to Rs. 3,649.44 billion at September 30, 2007 from Rs. 2,823.72 billion at September 30, 2006 primarily due to a 33.3% increase in advances and 23.3% increase in investments.Total assets (gross) of overseas branches increased to Rs. 608.08 billion at September 30, 2007 compared to Rs. 319.83 billion at September 30, 2006. |
Net Interest Income
Net interest income (net of amortization of premium on government securities) increased by 28.4% to Rs. 32.65 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from Rs. 25.43 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2006, reflecting primarily:
· | an increase of Rs. 695.11 billion or 28.5% in the average volume of interest-earning assets; and |
· | net interest margin of 2.1% in the six months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006. |
The average volume of interest-earning assets increased by Rs. 695.11 billion or 28.5% in the six months ended September 30, 2007, primarily due to an increase in average advances by Rs. 464.81 billion and increase in average investments by Rs. 205.75 billion. The increase in average advances was primarily due to increase in loans in overseas branches and retail loans. Retail advances, net of provisions and write-off, increased by 21.7% to Rs. 1,310.14 billion at September 30, 2007 from Rs. 1,076.79 billion at September 30, 2006 and advance in overseas branches increased to Rs. 369.94 billion at September 30, 2007 from Rs. 150.25 billion at September 30, 2006. The increase in average investments was primarily due to increased investment in government securities in line with the increase in our net demand and time liabilities.
Interest income increased by 48.5% to Rs. 148.47 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from Rs. 99.99 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to an increase of 28.5% in the average interest-earning assets to Rs. 3,136.53 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from Rs. 2,441.42 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2006. Yield on average interest-earning assets increased to 9.5% in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from 8.2% in the six months ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to an increase in the yield on advances to 11.2% in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from 9.6% in the six months ended September 30, 2006. Yield on average interest-earning investments increased to 7.7% in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from 6.6% in the six months ended September 30, 2006.
The yield on advances has increased 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 250 basis points in the period from September 30, 2006 to September 30, 2007. Our benchmark rate for floating rate home loans has increased by 250 basis points in the same period. Yield on average interest-earning investments increased primarily due to an increase in the yield on government securities by 60 basis points to 7.1% in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from 6.5% in the six months ended September 30, 2006 and an
- 10 -
increase in the dividend income from our investments in the assets of various funds. The amortization of premium on government securities in the six months ended September 30, 2007 was Rs. 4.46 billion compared to Rs. 5.09 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2006.
Total interest expense increased by 55.3% to Rs. 115.82 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from Rs. 74.56 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2006, due to a 27.8% increase in average interest-bearing liabilities to Rs. 2,997.98 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from Rs. 2,345.73 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2006 and an increase of 140 basis points in our cost of funds to 7.7% in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from 6.3% in the six months ended September 30, 2006. Cost of deposits increased to 7.8% in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from 6.0% in the six months ended September 30, 2006 as a result of the general increase in interest rates particularly in the last quarter of fiscal 2007 reflecting a tight systemic liquidity scenario and increases in deposit rates for retail and other customers. Total deposits at September 30, 2007 constituted 75.6% of our funding (comprising deposits, borrowings and subordinated debts) compared to 78.6% at September 30, 2006. Total deposits increased 20.5% to Rs. 2,283.07 billion at September 30, 2007 from Rs. 1,894.99 billion at September 30, 2006. The cost of borrowings increased marginally to 7.7% in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from 7.6% in the six months ended September 30, 2006.
Our net interest margin remained constant at 2.1% in the six months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to six months ended September 30, 2006. Our net interest margin is expected to continue to be lower than other banks in India until we 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.
Interest rates in the Indian banking system have continually increased over the last two years. During the last quarter of fiscal 2007, the Indian markets experienced volatility and sharp increases in interest rates and we experienced a sharp increase in our funding costs, which adversely impacted our net interest margin. It cannot be assured that we will be able to pass through all the increases in our funding costs to our lending customers. Any failure to pass the higher funding costs completely to our customers could adversely impact our net interest margin. Higher interest rates could also impact our fixed income trading and other investment portfolio adversely.
RBI has increased the cash reserve ratio requirement for banks from 5.0% at September 30, 2006 to 7.0% at September 30, 2007. From April 2007, the cash reserve ratio requirement is 6.5% of liabilities and from July 2007, is 7.0%. RBI makes no interest payments on these balances compared to the cash reserve ratio requirement of 5.0% of liabilities and effective interest payment of 1.4% on these balances in the period from April 1, 2006 to September 30, 2006. This has adversely impacted our net interest income in the six months ended September 30, 2007.

Non-interest income increased by 41.3% to Rs. 40.23 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from Rs. 28.48 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to an increase in income from commission, exchange and brokerage, an increase in income from treasury-related activities and an increase in other income.
Income from commission, exchange and brokerage increased by 24.6% to Rs. 24.23 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from Rs. 19.45 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to growth in fee income from structuring and advisory fees, fees from retail asset products and loan processing fees. Fees from corporate banking and international business witnessed a strong growth in the six months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to six months ended September 30, 2006. Income from commission, exchange and brokerage excludes income from customer derivative transactions and merchant foreign exchange transactions.
Total income from treasury-related activities was Rs. 8.65 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2007, compared to Rs. 5.09 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2006, as we continued to capitalize on the opportunities created by the buoyant equity markets through divestment of certain of our non-core investments. Treasury income includes income from customer derivative transactions and merchant foreign exchange transactions. Treasury income for the six months ended September 30, 2007 is net of unrealized losses of Rs. 1.26 billion on unfunded credit derivatives. The marked-to-market provision on such credit derivatives is subject to risk of further widening of credit spreads.
Lease income decreased by 17.1% to Rs. 1.08 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from Rs. 1.30 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to a reduction in lease assets since we are not entering into new lease transactions.

Employee expenses increased by 39.0% to Rs. 10.42 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from Rs. 7.50 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2006 reflecting a 33.9% increase in the number of permanent employees to 36,789 at September 30, 2007 from 30,977 at September 30, 2006 and annual increase in salaries. The increase in the number of employees was commensurate with the growth in business.
Other administrative expenses increased by 36.4% to Rs. 17.88 billion from Rs. 13.11 billion primarily due to the increased volume of business, particularly in retail banking, and includes maintenance of ATMs, insurance premium, collection expenses and other expenses. The number of branches (excluding foreign branches and OBUs) and extension counters increased to 950 at September 30, 2007 from 632 at September 30, 2006 pursuant to merger of Sangli Bank and opening of new branches. ATMs increased to 3,596 at September 30, 2007 from 2,336 at September 30, 2006.
We use marketing agents, called direct marketing agents or associates, for sourcing 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 amortized over the life of the loan. We incurred direct marketing agency expenses of Rs. 7.68 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2007 compared to Rs. 7.18 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2006.

(2) | 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 results. |
We classify our loans in accordance with RBI guidelines. Provisions and contingencies (excluding provisions for tax) increased to Rs. 11.97 billion or 75.3% in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from Rs. 6.83 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to higher level of specific provisioning on loans. Net provision on non-performing loans increased for six months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to increase in provisioning on retail loans.
The increase in provisioning on retail loans primarily reflects the seasoning of the loan portfolio and the change in the portfolio mix towards non-collateralized retail loans. Our net non-collateralized retail loans (including overdraft financing against automobiles) increased to about Rs. 201.00 billion at September 30, 2007 from Rs. 136.18 billion at September 30, 2006. Our non-collateralized retail loans constituted 15.3% of total retail advances as at September 30, 2007 as compared to 12.6% as at September 30, 2006. Our gross non-performing advances was Rs. 59.32 billion at September 30, 2007 compared to Rs. 29.70 billion at September 30, 2006 and our net non-performing advances was Rs. 29.71 billion at September 30, 2007 compared to Rs. 15.09 billion as on September 30, 2006.
Tax Expense
Income tax expenses increased to Rs. 4.37 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2007 from Rs. 2.76 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2006. The effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2007 was 19.7% compared to 16.7% for the six months ended September 30, 2006. The effective tax rate continued to be lower than the statutory rates in the six months ended September 30, 2007, primarily due to the concessional rate of tax on capital gains, exemption of dividend income, deduction towards special reserve and deduction of income of off-shore banking unit. The tax provision for the six months ended September 30, 2007 was based on the estimated tax liability for the full fiscal year in line with applicable guidelines under Indian GAAP.

The Finance Act 2007 made Fringe Benefit Tax ("FBT") applicable on Employees' Stock Option Scheme ("ESOS"). We recover the FBT from our employees and it is accounted for in the balance sheet on the date of exercise of the stock option.
Financial Condition
Our total assets increased by 29.2% to Rs. 3,649.44 billion as at September 30, 2007 from Rs. 2,823.72 billion as at September 30, 2006, primarily due to increase in advances and investments. Net advances increased by 33.3% to Rs. 2,071.21 billion as at September 30, 2007 from Rs. 1,554.03 billion as at September 30, 2006, primarily due to an increase in term loans, loans in overseas branches and an 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 securitizations. Total investments as at September 30, 2007 increased 23.3% to Rs. 1,022.89 billion as at September 30, 2007 from Rs. 829.92 billion as at September 30, 2006, primarily due to a 22.5% increase in government and other approved securities to Rs. 743.83 billion as at September 30, 2007 from Rs. 607.14 billion as at September 30, 2006 in line with the increase in our net demand and time liabilities. Banks in India are required to maintain a specified percentage, currently 25.0%, of their net demand and time liabilities by way of liquid assets like cash, gold or approved unencumbered securities. Other investments (including debentures and bonds) increased by 25.3% to Rs. 279.06 billion as at September 30, 2007 compared to Rs. 222.78 billion as at September 30, 2006, reflecting an increase in investments in insurance and international subsidiaries and pass through certificates. Cash, balances with RBI and other banks and money at call and short notice as at September 30, 2007 were Rs. 340.25 billion compared to Rs. 238.26 billion as at September 30, 2006. Other assets, including fixed assets, increased to Rs. 215.09 billion as at September 30, 2007 from Rs. 201.52 billion as at September 30, 2006.

(2) | Subsequent Events |

3. | Major Differences between United States and Japanese Accounting Principles and Practices |
The financial statements of the Bank for the year ended March 31, 2007 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. Summarized hereunder are significant differences between the accounting policies under US GAAP and Japanese accounting principles.
- 26 -
(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. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”.
Under Japanese accounting principles, 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 in the profit and loss account 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.
Under Japanese accounting principles, 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.
Under Japanese accounting principles, goodwill arising from purchasing a business 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 adopted the modified prospective method in which compensation costs is recognized from the year ended March 31, 2007 based on the requirements of Statement No. 123R, for all the share-based payments granted after April 1, 2006 and based on the requirements of Statement No. 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to April 1, 2006 that remain unvested. Previously, the Bank was using the intrinsic value method to account for its employee stock-based compensation plans. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.
- 27 -
Under Japanese accounting principles, "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 amortized over the period of the loans as an adjustment to the yield on the loan.
Under Japanese accounting principles, there is no specific accounting standard for amortization 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.
Under Japanese accounting principles, 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, 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 |
The 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.
Under Japanese accounting principles, 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.
Under Japanese accounting principles, 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 net of allowance for credit losses only if the Bank surrenders the rights to benefits specified in the loan contract. Net income arising from sale of loan assets through direct assignment without recourse obligation, is recognised at the time of sale. 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 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.
(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 is measured by the excess, if any, of the fair market price of the underlying stock over the exercise price.
Under Japanese accounting principles, "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. As per the transition provision of AS 15 (Revised) on “Accounting for retirement benefits in financial statements of employer”, the difference in the liability on account of gratuity benefits created by the Bank at March 31, 2006 due to revised standard have been included in Schedule 2 (“Reserves and Surplus”).
Under Japanese accounting principles, 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 venture capital investments wherein the unrealized gains and losses are transferred to Reserves and Surplus.
Under Japanese accounting principles, unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are recognized in the profit and loss account and those on other securities are recorded in equity.
(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.
Under Japanese accounting principles, 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.
Under Japanese accounting principles, 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 under reserves. 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.
Under Japanese accounting principles, 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 |
In case of corporate loans, provisions are made for sub-standard and doubtful assets at rates prescribed by RBI. Subject to the minimum provisioning levels prescribed by RBI, provision on homogeneous retail loans/receivables is assessed at a portfolio level, on the basis of days past due. For restructured/rescheduled assets, provision is made by the Bank in accordance with the guidelines issued by RBI, which
- 30 -
requires a provision equal to the present value of the interest sacrifice to be made at the time of restructuring.
Under Japanese accounting principles, provision for loan losses in banks is established based on self-assessment and the historical loss ratio and outstanding balance of each asset category. Alternatively, it is also permitted to be calculated 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 pursuant to the principles of hedge accounting. Hedged swaps/options are accounted for on an accrual basis.
Under Japanese accounting principles, 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 fixed assets |
Fixed 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 by debiting the profit and loss account and is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Under Japanese accounting principles, undiscounted cash flows are used for assessment of impairment.
(13) | Deferred tax |
The Bank does not recognize deferred taxes on undistributed earnings of subsidiaries and affiliates.
Under Japanese accounting principles, 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 |
Dividends on common stock and the related dividend tax are recognized in the
- 31 -
year to which it relates to.
Under Japanese accounting principles, dividends are recognized upon approval in the annual general meeting.
