Notes:

1) The financial results have been approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on 31st October 2009.

2) The financial results for the quarter ended 30th September 2009 have been reviewed by the Statutory Central Auditors.

3) The financial results for the quarter ended 30.09.2009 have been arrived at after considering provision for non-performing assets and
floating provision, depreciation/ amortisation on investments, gratuity, pension, leave encashment, income tax including fringe benefit tax,
deferred tax, other usual and necessary provisions on an estimated basis and are subject to adjustments at the year end.

4) Hitherto, the Bank had adopted the policy of making 100% provision against the secured portion of those NPA’s which had remained in
doubtful category for more than 2 years. From the quarter ended September 2009, this provision has been made at 30% of secured portion
of those advances which have fallen into this category during the quarter ended September 2009 in line with RBI guidelines on
provisioning requirements. Pursuant to this change, the profit for the quarter/half year ended September 2009 is higher by Rs. 0.21 crores.

5) Upto year ended 31.03.2009, in computing the segment results, the interest expenses were allocated to the treasury and corporate /
wholesale segments by applying the cost of funds to the Average Investments / Advances and the balance was allocated to the retail
segment and, operating expenses were apportioned on the basis of segment assets. Now these have been apportioned in the ratio of total
income of each segment. In presenting the segment results of the quarter/half year ended 30.09.2009, all figures have been presented as
per changed policy.

6) In accordance with RBI guidelines, besides Treasury Operations, the Bank has identified 3 segments in its Banking Operations –
Corporate / Wholesale Banking, Retail Banking, Other Banking Business. As the Bank operates only in the domestic segment, there are
no other geographical segments.

7) Operating expenses include depreciation on immovable properties revalued as on 31st March 2008. The aggregate depreciation of
Rs.973.70 lacs is netted off against Rs.347.62 lacs being depreciation on revalued portion withdrawn from Capital Reserve (Revaluation).

8) Total number of shareholder complaints pending at the beginning of the quarter - Nil, complaints received and resolved during the quarter -
3 and complaints pending at the end of the quarter - Nil.

9) Previous period figures have been regrouped / rearranged wherever necessary.
