    ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

    ICICI Bank is a limited liability company under the laws of India. Substantially all of our directors andexecutive officers and certain experts named herein reside outside the United States, and a substantial portion ofour assets and the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult forinvestors to effect service of process upon such persons within the United States or to enforce against us or suchpersons in US courts judgments obtained in US courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liabilityprovisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.

    iv

  • India is not a party to any international treaty in relation to the recognition or enforcement of foreignjudgments. We understand that in India the statutory basis for recognition of foreign judgments is found inSection 13 of the Indian Code of Civil Procedure 1908, or the Civil Code, which provides that a foreign judgmentshall be conclusive as to any matter directly adjudicated upon except: (i) where the judgment has not beenpronounced by a court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) where the judgment has not been given on the merits of thecase; (iii) where the judgment appears on the face of the proceedings to be founded on an incorrect view ofinternational law or a refusal to recognize the law of India in cases where such law is applicable; (iv) where theproceedings in which the judgment was obtained were opposed to natural justice; (v) where the judgment hasbeen obtained by fraud; or (vi) where the judgment sustains a claim founded on a breach of any law in force inIndia. Section 44A of the Civil Code provides that where a foreign judgment has been rendered by a court in anycountry or territory outside India which the Government of India has by notification declared to be areciprocating territory, it may be enforced in India by proceedings in execution as if the judgment had beenrendered by the relevant court in India. The United States has not been declared by the Government of India to bea reciprocating territory for purposes of Section 44A. Accordingly, a judgment of a court in the United Statesmay be enforced in India only by a suit upon the judgment, not by proceedings in execution. The suit must bebrought in India within three years from the date of the judgment in the same manner as any other suit filed toenforce a civil liability in India. It is unlikely that a court in India would award damages on the same basis as aforeign court if an action is brought in India. Furthermore, it is unlikely that an Indian court would enforceforeign judgments if it viewed the amount of damages awarded as excessive or inconsistent with Indian practice.A party seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain approval from the Reserve Bank ofIndia under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 to execute such a judgment or to repatriate any amountrecovered. Also, a party may file suit in India against us, our directors or our executive officers as an originalaction predicated upon the provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.

These financial statements do not include the results of operations of our subsidiariesand other consolidating entities.

    The financial statements for fiscal 2002 were audited by S. B. Billimoria & Co., Chartered Accountants, forfiscal 2003 jointly by N. M. Raiji & Co., Chartered Accountants and S. R. Batliboi & Co., Chartered Accountantsand for fiscal 2004, 2005 and 2006 and the six months ended September 30, 2005 by S. R. Batliboi & Co.,Chartered Accountants and for the six months ended September 30, 2006 by BSR & Co., Chartered Accountants.You should read the following discussion and analysis of our selected financial and operating data with the moredetailed information contained in our audited unconsolidated financial statements. The following discussion isbased on our audited unconsolidated financial statements and accompanying notes prepared in accordance withIndian GAAP, while the financial information in our annual reports on Form 20-F for the fiscal year 2006 isbased on our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes prepared in accordance withIndian GAAP with the net income and stockholders’ equity reconciled to US GAAP. Financial information in ourannual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal years 2000 to 2005 filed with the SEC was prepared in accordance withUS GAAP. US GAAP requires consolidation as a fundamental basis of accounting. For a discussion of thesignificant differences between Indian GAAP and US GAAP, see “Description of Certain Differences betweenIndian GAAP and US GAAP”.

    The amalgamation of ICICI, ICICI Personal Financial Services and ICICI Capital Services with us wasaccounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The effective date of the amalgamation was May 3,2002. However, the date of the amalgamation for accounting purposes under Indian GAAP was the AppointedDate under the Scheme of Amalgamation approved by the High Courts of Bombay and Gujarat and the ReserveBank of India, which was March 30, 2002. Accordingly, our profit and loss account (hereinafter referred to asincome statement) for fiscal 2002 includes the results of operations of ICICI, ICICI Personal Financial Servicesand ICICI Capital Services for only two days, i.e., March 30 and 31, 2002, although our balance sheet for fiscal2002 reflects the full impact of the amalgamation. As a result of the above, the income statement for fiscal 2003is not comparable with the income statements for fiscal 2002 and prior years.

  • (2) Spread is the difference between yield on average interest-earning assets and cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. Yield on averageinterest-earning assets is the ratio of interest income to average interest-earning assets. Cost of average interest-bearing liabilities is theratio of interest expense to average interest-bearing liabilities.

    (3) Net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income to average interest-earning assets. The difference in net interest margin and spreadarises due to the difference in amount of average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities. If average interest-earning assets exceed average interest-bearing liabilities, net interest margin is greater than spread and if average interest-bearingliabilities exceed average interest-earning assets, net interest margin is less than spread.
