Auditor’s Report on Quarterly Financial Results of the Bank Pursuant to the Clause 41 of the Listing Agreement
 
To
Board of Directors of ICICI Bank Limited
 
1. 
We have audited the quarterly financial results of ICICI Bank Limited (the ‘Bank’) for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, attached herewith, being submitted by the Bank pursuant to the requirement of clause 41 of the Listing Agreement, except for the disclosures regarding ‘Public Shareholding’ and ‘Promoter and Promoter Group Shareholding’ which have been traced from disclosures made by the management and have not been audited by us. These quarterly financial results have been prepared from interim financial statements, which are the responsibility of the Bank’s management and have been approved by the Board of Directors. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial results based on our audit of such interim financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Accounting Standard (AS) 25, Interim Financial Reporting, issued pursuant to the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, (as amended) as per Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.
 
2. 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in India. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial results are free of material misstatement(s). An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts disclosed as financial results. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
3. 
We did not audit the financial statements of Singapore, Bahrain and Hong Kong branches, whose financial statements reflect total assets of Rs. 904,631.6 million as at June 30, 2011, the total revenue of Rs. 11,661.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and net cash flows amounting to Rs. 49,970.5 million for the quarter then ended. These financial statements have been audited by other auditors, duly qualified to act as auditors in the country of incorporation of the said branches, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion is based solely on the report of other auditors.
 
4. 
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us these quarterly financial results:
 
 
(i) 
have been presented in accordance with the requirements of clause 41 of the Listing Agreement in this regard; and
 
 
(ii) 
give a true and fair view of the net profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
 
5. 
Further, read with paragraph 1 above, we also report that we have, on the basis of the books of account and other records and information and explanations given to us by the management, also verified the number of shares as well as percentage of shareholdings in respect of aggregate amount of public shareholdings, as furnished by the company in terms of clause 35 of the Listing Agreement and found the same to be correct.
