The Banks net customer assets increased 45% to Rs. 111,514 crore (US$ 25.3 billion) at September 30, 2005 compared to Rs. 76,659 crore (US$ 17.4 billion) at September 30, 2004. The Bank maintained its growth momentum and market leadership in the retail segment. In H1-2006, the Banks total retail disbursements were about Rs. 25,900 crore (US$ 5.9 billion) including home loan disbursements of about Rs. 10,600 crore (US$ 2.4 billion). Retail assets constituted 64% of advances and 61% of customer assets. The Bank is focusing on loan origination in the retail and agriculture segments and on non-fund based products and services, as well as capitalising on 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. The Banks corporate, small and medium enterprise, rural and agri-business portfolio and the loan portfolio of its international branches (including foreign currency financing to Indian companies) increased 33% to about Rs. 38,500 crore (US$ 8.7 bn) at September 30, 2005 from about Rs. 28,900 crore (US$ 6.6 bn) at September 30, 2004.
International operations
ICICI Bank continued to build on its existing presence in various geographies as well as enter new markets. 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 Banks wholly-owned banking subsidiaries have four branches in the United Kingdom, five branches in Canada and two branches in Russia. The Bank has branches in Singapore and Bahrain and representative offices in Shanghai, Johannesburg, Dhaka, Dubai and New York. The Bank has received regulatory approval for setting up branches in Hong Kong and Sri Lanka and at the Dubai International Financial Center. The Bank continued to increase its market share in remittances and establish an international private banking franchise, focusing on the non-resident Indian community.
Rural banking
The Banks 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 Banks rural delivery channels include branches, internet kiosks, franchisees and micro-finance institution (MFI) partners.

The Bank had 583 branches and extension counters at September 30, 2005 as compared to 470 branches and extension counters at September 30, 2004.
Capital adequacy
The Banks capital adequacy at September 30, 2005 was 11.5% (including Tier-1 capital adequacy of 7.2%), compared to RBIs requirement of total capital adequacy of 9.0%.
Asset quality
The Banks net restructured assets at September 30, 2005 were Rs. 5,713 crore (US$ 1.3 billion), down from Rs. 6,817 crore (US$ 1.5 billion) at September 30, 2004. At September 30, 2005, the Banks net non-performing assets constituted 0.97% of customer assets against 2.60% at September 30, 2004.
Group companies
ICICI Securities achieved a profit after tax of Rs. 53 crore (US$ 12 million) in Q2-2006 compared to a full year profit of Rs. 64 crore (US$ 15 million) for the year ended March 31, 2005 (FY2005). ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company (ICICI Lombard) enhanced its leadership position among private sector general insurance companies with a market share of 30% in H1-2006. ICICI Lombard achieved a profit after tax of Rs. 12 crore (US$ 3 million) in Q2-2006, after taking into account an impact of approximately Rs. 11 crore (US$ 2 million) on account of the heavy rains in Mumbai in July 2005.
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company (ICICI Prudential Life) continued to maintain its market leadership among private sector life insurance companies. Life insurance companies worldwide require five to seven years to achieve breakeven, 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. 49 crore (US$ 11 million) on the Banks consolidated profit after tax in Q2-2006 on account of the above reasons, the companys unaudited New Business Achieved Profit (NBAP) for Q2-2006 was Rs. 100 crore (US$ 23 million). 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. Internationally, life insurance companies in the growth phase are valued as a multiple of their NBAP.
