opportunities presented by the domestic and international expansion of Indian companies. The Bank is also extending its reach in the small and medium enterprises segment.

Rural banking

The Bank’s rural banking strategy seeks to adopt a holistic approach to the financial services needs of various segments of the rural population, by delivering a comprehensive product suite encompassing credit, transaction banking, deposit, investment and insurance, through a range of channels. The Bank’s rural delivery channels include branches, internet kiosks, franchisees and micro-finance institution (MFI) partners. The Bank has launched savings products through the banking correspondent model in two states.

International operations

ICICI Bank continued to build on its existing presence in various geographies. In addition to providing credit and trade finance solutions to Indian companies, the Bank is expanding its international retail franchise through technology-based banking services. The Bank now operates in 13 countries through branches, representative offices and wholly-owned subsidiaries. During the quarter, the Bank’s UK subsidiary opened a branch at Antwerp in Belgium. The loan portfolio of the Bank’s international branches (including foreign currency financing to Indian companies) increased to about Rs. 13,400 crore (US$ 2.9 billion) at June 30, 2006 from Rs. 7,000 crore (US$ 1.5 bn) at June 30, 2005. The Bank continued to grow its remittance volumes and achieved a market share of about 21% in inward remittances into India.

Capital adequacy

The Bank’s capital adequacy at June 30, 2006 was 12.5% (including Tier 1 capital adequacy of 8.6%), well above RBI’s requirement of total capital adequacy of 9.0% . The Bank’s unaudited capital adequacy estimated based on RBI’s draft guidelines issued in February 2005 on implementation of the revised capital adequacy framework (Basel II), would be about 12.8% (including Tier 1 capital adequacy of about 9.6%) at June 30, 2006.

Asset quality

The Bank’s net restructured assets at June 30, 2006 were Rs. 5,469 crore (US$ 1.2 billion), down from Rs. 6,209 crore (US$ 1.3 billion) at June 30, 2005. At June 30, 2006, the Bank’s net non-performing assets constituted 0.8% of customer assets against 2.0% at June 30, 2005.

Key domestic subsidiaries

ICICI Securities achieved a profit after tax of Rs. 24 crore (US$ 5 million) in Q1-2007. ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company (ICICI Lombard) enhanced its leadership position with a market share of 36% among private sector general insurance companies and an overall market share of 12.5% in April-May 2006. ICICI Lombard achieved a profit after tax of Rs. 15 crore (US$ 3 million) in Q1-2007.

ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company (ICICI Prudential Life) continued to maintain its market leadership among private sector life insurance companies. Life insurance companies worldwide make losses in the initial years, in view of business set-up and customer acquisition costs in the initial years as well as reserving for actuarial liability. While the growing operations of ICICI Prudential Life had a negative impact of Rs. 52 crore (US$ 11 million) on the Bank’s consolidated profit after tax in Q1-2007 on account of the above reasons, the company’s unaudited New Business Achieved Profit (NBAP) for Q1-2007 was Rs. 186 crore (US$ 40 million) as compared to Rs. 69 crore (US$ 15 million) in Q1-2006. NBAP is a metric for the economic value of the new business written during a defined period. It is measured as the present value of all the future profits for the shareholders, on account of the new business based on standard assumptions of mortality, expenses and other parameters. Actual experience could differ based on variance from these assumptions especially in respect of expense overruns in the initial years.

Prudential ICICI Asset Management Company became the largest asset management company in India with assets under management of over Rs. 30,000 crore (US$ 6.5 billion) at June 30, 2006.
