Notes:

1.   The board of ICICI Limited at its meeting on October 25, 2001 decided to
     merge ICICI Limited with ICICI Bank Limited. The merger will be subject to
     several approvals including those of the Reserve Bank of India,
     shareholders and the High Courts. The appointed date of the merger will be
     the later of March 31, 2002 and the date of RBI approval. The board of
     ICICI Bank Limited also approved the merger.

2.   On October 16, 2001, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) issued clarifications
     / modifications to the guidelines for the classification and valuation of
     investments issued on November 9, 2000. The major clarifications /
     modifications are as follows:

     (i)  Only debt securities, preference shares and equity shares held in
          subsidiaries and joint ventures (as defined in the guidelines) can be
          classified under "Held to Maturity" category.

     (ii) Certain investments complying with specified conditions are to be
          treated as "in the nature of advance" and to be valued by notionally
          extending to them the prudential norms for valuation of outstanding
          loans of the issuing company.

     In compliance with the clarifications / modifications, ICICI has effected
     necessary changes in investment classification and booked consequential
     effect on valuation. This has resulted in an additional charge to the
     Revenue Account relating to the period upto March 31, 2001 amounting to
     Rs. 1312.2 million and is disclosed as an extra-ordinary item. As per the
     then accounting policy followed by ICICI in earlier years, realized profit
     on sale of investments had been credited to the Revenue Account and
     transferred from the Revenue Account to the Capital Reserve account before
     arriving at the disposable profit. The Company has utilized this component
     of the Capital Reserve to transfer to the Revenue Account an amount
     equivalent to the extra-ordinary charge referred to above.

3.   Land and Buildings as on April 1, 2001 of the Company have been revalued
     based on approved valuer's report. The increase in value of Rs. 7,225.5
     million on this account is credited to Revaluation Reserve. Depreciation
     on the increase in amount on account of revaluation is drawn from the
     Revaluation Reserve.

4.   The Accounts are prepared in compliance with the Accounting Standards
     referred to in Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956, except for
     Accounting Standards 17 (Segment Reporting), 18 (Related Party
     Disclosures), 20 (Earnings Per Share) and 21 (Consolidated Financial
     Statements). The Accounting Standard Nos. 17, 18, 20 and 21 relate to
     additional disclosures and this being quarterly accounts, additional
     disclosures are not made. The Company has made provision for taxation as
     per the Accounting Standard 22 "Accounting for Taxes on Income". In
     accordance with by the standard the provision for deferred tax liability
     as on April 1, 2001 of Rs 3500.0 million has been made out of Deferred Tax
     Credit Reserve (DTCR) which was created out of disposable profit in
     earlier years.

5.   During the current quarter ended September 30, 2001, the following
     companies ceased to be subsidiaries of the company:

     (1)  ICICI West Bengal Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited
          (w.e.f. September 26, 2001)

     (2)  ICICI-Kinfra Limited (w.e.f. September 26, 2001)

The above results were taken on record by the Board of Directors of the Company
