 2.  During the year the accounting policy, hitherto followed by the
 Bank up to the year ended 31.03.2010, of not providing for depreciation
 on assets sold/disposed of during the year except for vehicles, has

 of during the year for the period up to the date of sale. The change as

 Disclosures
 
 Structure, organization, scope and nature of management of risk in
 derivatives etc.
 
 The organizational structure consists of Treasury Department which is
 segregated into three functional areas, ie, front ofce, mid ofce and
 back ofce. Derivative deals are executed for hedging and market making.
 
 The risk in the derivatives is monitored by regularly assessing Marked
 to Market Position (MTM) of the entire portfolio and the impact on
 account of the probable market movements. Various risk limits have been
 put in place under diferent segments of the derivatives, as approved by
 Board. The risk profle of the outstanding portfolio is reviewed by
 Board at regular intervals. For own balance sheet management, hedging
 policies are devised to mitigate risks, lower borrowing costs and
 enhance yields. The current outstanding under the derivatives portfolio
 were executed for trading only.
 
 Accounting:
 
 Board Approved Accounting Policies as per RBI guidelines have been
 adopted. The hedge swaps are accounted for like a hedge of the asset or
 liability. The hedge swaps are accounted on accrual basis except where
 swaps for hedging marked to market asset/liability. Such hedge swaps
 are marked to market on a monthly basis and the gain/losses are
 recorded as an adjustment to the designated asset/liability. The Non
 hedge swaps are marked to market every month and the MTM losses in the
 basket are accounted in the books while MTM Profits are ignored.
 
 Collateral Security:
 
 As per market practice, no collateral security is insisted on for the
 contracts with counter parties like Banks/ PDs etc. For deals with
 Corporate Clients, appropriate collateral security/margin etc. are
 stipulated wherever considered necessary.
 
 Credit Risk Mitigation:
 
 Most of the deals have been contracted with Banks/ Major PDs and no
 default risk is anticipated on the deals with them. In the case of
 deals with corporate clients, the outstanding positions are closely
 monitored for the default risks and appropriate measures are initiated.
