FINANCIAL
OVERVIEW

However, the savings deposit varied than expected; as Nepalese deposit market is highly interest sensitive; due to which in the given
period, most of the saving deposits turned to term-deposits with short-term maturities. Although, we were able to grow the number
of saving accounts to 1,113,988.

Total 197,882 182,962 (14,920) -8%
As for the growth target relating to non-fund based business (LC, guarantees, etc), we were not able to reach the target, during the year
in review, but is expected to grow with growth of non-funded business. Credit Fees Income is on negative growth, but with gradual
increase in the business of the bank with ease in liquidity. Central Remittance Income is negative and the branch related remittance
business is also under negative growth, as the bank is yet to fully mobilize remittance unit at remit sourcing countries, which had impact
in the revenue related to remittance. Digital Banking Income has positive variance. Further, to boost business various schemes were
launched as free card issuance, cash back offers, and continuous branding in the digital front and expansion of business through digital
business, which further supported the growth of the digital banking related business. Bank is able to make steady base in the digital
banking business transaction, which eventually supported in the growth in the digital based income of the bank.
Share related Income / Dividend income has negative variance of Rs. 3.22 million, with active investment in good scripts with better
fundamentals and regular monitoring and trade; the bank is also able to attain healthy dividend income. This income is mainly attributable
to the favorable market condition that is prevalent in earlier months, but the current bearish trend in the market and fair value loss at the
end of the fiscal year had created negative variance. The changes pertaining to actual costs, in comparison to the HR- related costs
and operating expense varied; as the assumption during planning of budget was derived based on opening of branch network relatively
at the beginning of the fiscal year, but due to unavoidable factors the new setup were completed on mid or later part of the fiscal year,
which resulted in lower HR-related cost than budgeted. Impairment cost relating to loans and advances increased significantly than
projected which is due to growth in the volume of business along with liquidity scenario in the market. Also, for good representation of
risk-management in disbursed loans; Bank had provided additional provision charges under watch-list based on qualitative asset as
per NRB guidelines. Such cushion provision will provide more control over risk-factors associated with Bank lending. To conclude with,
the bottom line, i.e. profit, remained lower than targeted i.e. by 15%, due to increased costs and low fee-based income than targeted.

With the part of time & growth of business, need of capital is further assessed. Bank has been able to increase equity through issue of
shares (bonus or right) and on the other hand, also retained the amount for further investment. As prescribed by Nepal Rastra Bank ,
Banks are required to maintain mandatory as well as other reserves. In addition to capital contributed by the equity holders, the amount
set aside from the profit or surpluses to reserve belongs to the owners that helps in further strengthening the financial position of the
Bank. Therefore, accumulated profit every year is transferred to such reserves which further increase the equity of the Bank .

Horizontal Analysis:
A reasonable growth rate of 11% was achieved with regard to loan and advance (to customers and BFIs) during FY 2078-79.

resulting increment in cash and cash equivalent by 132% and decline in placement. Current tax asset this year impacted from
higher provision for tax with increase in profit. Decrease of Intangible Asset is due to the depreciation charged on existing asset,
with no such significant procurement on software and other intangible assets this year. Deferred Tax Liabilities decreased with the
increase in various deductible temporary differences under tax and accounting; the deductible being on higher side than taxable
temporary differences resulted increase in deferred tax asset significantly. Deposit in total have increased by 21% during this year is
bifurcated under Deposit from Customers, due to BFI, due to Nepal Rastra Bank. Increase in share capital is due to capitalization of
bonus shares for FY 2077-78. Reserve has increased with the increase in different reserves; general reserve, exchange equalization
reserve, regulatory and other reserves. With the distribution of dividends, retained earnings declined to some extent. The substantial
difference under Derivative liabilities is due to netting off the derivative asset and liability previous year which has been grossed up
this year.

contributing 8.30% each on total assets of bank. Investment Securities comprise of 10.76% of total asset of the bank, due from

FY 2078-79. Fee and Commission income and expense increased proportionately with 16%. Due to decline in home currency, forex

From the chart above, with the higher expected return (discount rate used), the intrinsic market price tends to fall. Assuming the
constant growth rate of 5% every year, the share price tends to fall. By comparing the intrinsic market price with the actual market
price (that depends on market demand and supply), we can determine if the share price is undervalued or overvalued. If the intrinsic
price is greater than the actual market price, the share price is overvalued and vice versa. From the chart above, it is known that the
expected price of the stock will be highest i.e. 349 at expected return of 8%. Similarly when the expected return reaches 15%, with a
constant growth assumption of 5%, the share prices falls to lowest NPR 131. Further at the expected return of 10%, the share price
will be at equilibrium i.e. Rs. 263.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Kumari Bank, as a public limited company and a financial institution, has always given utmost importance to highest standards of
corporate governance and moral conduct. The Bank is committed to absolute compliance with the ethics prescribed by Company’s
Act, Bank and Financial Institutions Act, Unified Directives issued by Nepal Rastra Bank, and the Bank’s corporate governance
policy. As a Board, we believe that a strong corporate governance framework and culture translates to a strong company that delivers
the most value for the investments of its shareholders.
The Bank gives utmost importance to corporate governance at all levels. The Board carries out active oversight and supervises
and controls the Bank, however, it doesn’t interfere in the Bank’s day-to-day management. We are committed to more than just
meeting the regulatory and legal requirements, but also towards adoption of best business and proactive risk management practices,
transparency, and disclosure to all the stakeholders. The entire Kumari Bank family abides by its principles of corporate governance
including fulfilment of assigned responsibilities in the best interests of the Bank, secrecy-maintenance of the material information,
avoidance of conflict-of-interest, clarity in delegation of authority, professionalism, team spirit, and exceptional customer-service.
Good corporate governance is one of the key prerequisites to a successful organization, and we understand it well. All our activities
are in line with the said-understanding and commitment. Our corporate governance philosophy is heavily guided by our own internal
need to set the highest standards as a good corporate citizen.
The Bank has established a culture of best practices in corporate governance. Good corporate governance has been an integral
part of the Bank’s policy in order to safeguard the interest of its shareholders and stakeholders, and for providing the highest level
of service to its customers. Well-defined and enforced corporate governance provides a structure that is beneficial to everyone
concerned via ensuring that the enterprise adheres to accepted ethical standards and best practices as well as to formal laws. Given
the importance of financial intermediation in an economy, the public and the market have a high degree of sensitivity to any difficulties
potentially arising from any corporate governance shortcomings in Banks. The Bank is committed to be governed by the highest
standards of corporate governance. Compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of the country, and with the directives/
circulars/guidelines issued by various regulatory authorities, shall be the utmost priority of the Bank, and the Bank shall ensure robust
compliance thereto, in word as well as in spirit.

The Bank's financial indicators of the past years have been positive, systematic, and progress-oriented. In recent years, non-
performing assets have become very manageable, while the bank's business activities are growing at a limited rate with proper
assessment of risk. Due to the unpredictable ups and downs of Nepal's financial market, political environment, industry, etc.,
we have always been making the concept that we should have balanced and sustainable growth in our business.

The direct and indirect effects of the changes in the world economy have also affected the Nepalese economy. In the context
of Nepal, due to the pressure on price and external sector stability and the shrinking of investable resources, a challenge has
been created in the direction of achieving a high economic growth rate along with the revival of the economy. In the FY 2078/79,
the average inflation seems to remain within the target range, but due to the increase in the price of fuel and food items, high
inflation in neighboring countries including the world, disruption in the supply system, and the weakening of the Nepali currency
against the US dollar, inflation has started to increase recently.
Due to the country's weak production capacity and increasing consumption trend, it is estimated that the share of imports in
the gross domestic product will reach 40% in the FY 2078/79. In addition to the objective account, the service account deficit
is also increasing. The current account deficit is seen to reach around 13% of the GDP. A big difference has appeared between
the foreign currency entering the country through the export of goods and services, remittances inflow, foreign investment, and
foreign aid mobilization and the foreign currency going out of the country through the import of goods and services. The growing
trend of imports and the decrease in foreign exchange reserves have created pressure on external sector management. As the
foreign exchange reserves decrease due to the current account and current account deficit, there is pressure on the liquidity of
the banking system as well as an increase in the interest rate.
In a country like Nepal with a small and import-based open economy, sustainable economic growth can only be achieved
by maximum utilization of financial resources if external sector stability can be ensured. A country that has adopted a fixed
exchange rate as a policy constraint and the external sector is under pressure, it is inevitable to balance the monetary expansion.
Based on the theoretical interrelationship, when the monetary sector expands, it can expand the internal demand, increase the
current account deficit and further weaken the external sector. Keeping in mind the above-mentioned theoretical basis and the
challenges seen in macroeconomic stability, the policy should be formulated keeping the pressure on the external sector mainly
due to the pressure on prices and the increasing current account and current account deficit.
Due to the Russia-Ukraine war, it is seen that the growth rate of the world economy will decline. According to the International
Monetary Fund, the growth rate of the world economy, which expanded by 6.1 % in 2021, is seen to be limited to 3.6 % in 2022.
The Fund forecasts that the growth rate of developed economies will be limited to 3.3 % in 2022 compared to 5.2 % in the
previous year, and the growth rate of emerging and developing economies will be limited to 3.8 % in 2022 compared to 6.8 %
in the previous year.
The International Monetary Fund has forecast that the average inflation rate of developed countries in the past decade is 1.5
% and will reach 5.7 % in 2022. Similarly, in emerging and developing countries, the average inflation rate for the past decade
is 5.1 %, and the fund forecasts that it will reach 8.7 % in 2022. The International Monetary Fund has forecast that the growth
rate of world trade volume, which expanded by 10.1 % in 2021, will be limited to 5.0 % in 2022.
Most countries have adopted expansionary monetary and financial policies to face the challenges seen in the world economy.
Despite the decline in the growth rate of the economy and the increase in prices seen in the world economy due to the
uncertainty created by the Covid-19 crisis and the Russia-Ukraine war, many countries have adopted moderate monetary and
financial policies to facilitate economic activities.
The mentioned scenario seen in the national economy of the country is also seen to have an impact on the bank's business.

www.kumaribank.com
Policy guidelines have also been created and implemented for the management of numerous risks that have occurred and
are likely to occur in connection with banking transactions. The bank has taken a policy to strengthen and make the internal
control system more effective by properly managing the credit, operational, market, and other risks inherent in its business.
Arrangements have been made to prepare and implement the necessary policies, rules, and circulars in various subjects
related to credit management, customer identification, stress test, credit protection, and daily transactions.
i. Credit Risk Management: A separate credit risk management department has been set up in the bank for the timely
identification of credit-related risks. Before disbursing the loan, this department makes a detailed study of all the risks
related to the loan, the standards set by the regulatory body, and the compliance with the internal policy rules of the bank,
including the sectoral and concentrated risk of the borrower. This department studies the current situation and predicts
the risks that may come in the future and based on that, recommends amending the internal policy rules of the bank,
reorganizes the loan portfolio, and also determines the classification of loans, loan sectors, debtors, etc. based on the risk.
ii. Operational Risk Management: Operational risk is always present in banking transactions. With the development
of technology comes new risks, which cannot be eliminated. To properly manage such risks, the bank's policies and
rules and internal control system should be tight and sound. For operational risk management, the bank has a separate
operational risk management department. This department has been timely identifying potential risks related to the
bank's internal system, process, and manpower; providing necessary opinions, suggestions, and consultations for
their mitigation. All activities related to the operation of the bank are based on the prescribed rules and clearly defined
procedures and workflows. Due to this, we are confident that operational risk is properly managed.
iii. Liquidity Risk Management: Taking the experience of the unexpected fluctuations in liquidity experienced in the past
and the impact on the net interest income of the bank as an experience, a detailed study of the current and future
liquidity conditions was carried out, and accordingly the bank collected deposits, determined interest rates in the short
and long term. Timely investment strategies have been made. The Bank's internal Asset Liability Committee (ALCO/
Pricing Committee) reviews this type of risk.
iv. Market Risk Management: The bank is always aware of the elements related to market risk and the bank regularly
analyzes such elements and formulates the corresponding strategy. To minimize the risk that may occur due to changes
in the foreign exchange rate, the bank has made a policy and procedure to regularly monitor the situation of foreign
exchange. In addition, the market interest rate is also regularly reviewed and the necessary policy rules are made. The
Bank's internal Asset Liability Committee (ALCO/Pricing Committee) reviews this type of risk.

22nd Annual Report 2078/79
1. Bank
1.1 General
Kumari Bank Limited (hereinafter referred to as “The Bank”) is a public limited company, incorporated on 10th December
1999 and domiciled in Nepal. The corporate office of the Bank is located at Tangal, Kathmandu, Nepal. The Bank carries
out commercial banking activities and other financial services in Nepal under the license from Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB),
the Central Bank of Nepal, as “Ka Class” (Class A) licensed financial institution. The Bank is listed in Nepal Stock Exchange
Limited for public trading of stocks.
119
22nd Annual Report 2078/79
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
2.1. Statement of Compliance
The Financial Statements of Bank for the year ended 16th July, 2022 comprising Statement of Financial Position, Statement
of Profit or loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes
to the Financial Statements (including Significant Accounting Policies), have been prepared in accordance with Nepal
Financial Reporting Standards (hereafter referred as NFRS), laid down by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nepal
and in compliance with the requirements of all applicable laws and regulations.
The bank has applied certain carve-outs which are as described in Notes to Accounts.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized
in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
The most significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have most
significant effect in the Financial Statements are as follows:
2.5. Discounting
When the realization of assets and settlement of obligation is for more than one year, the Bank considers the discounting
of such assets and liabilities where the impact is material. Various internal and external factors have been considered for
determining the discount rate to be applied to the cash flows of company.
Service fees charged by the bank on loans and advances unless immaterial or impracticable to determine reliably is to be
considered for computation of Effective Interest Rate. However, bank has opted the Carve-out (optional) pronounced by
Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nepal (ICAN) on 10th November 2018; as per the notice issued by ICAN regarding
the extension of a year time for its implementation.
Defined Benefit Plan; that includes gratuity has been determined by considering discount rate as the average yield on
government bonds issued during the period having maturity of five years or more.
120
www.kumaribank.com
Since, the subsidiaries are 100% owned, there is no case of NCI for the bank.
c. Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities that are controlled by the Bank. The Bank is presumed to control an investee when it is exposed
or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through
its power over the investee. At each reporting date the Bank reassesses whether it controls an investee if facts and
circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more elements of control mentioned above.
The Financial Statements of Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Bank and
continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. The Financial Statements of the Bank’s Subsidiaries
are prepared for the same reporting period as per the Bank, using consistent accounting policies.
The cost of acquisition of a Subsidiary is measured as the fair value of the consideration, including contingent consideration,
given on the date of transfer of title. The acquired identifiable assets, liabilities are measured at their fair values at the date of
acquisition. Subsequent to the initial measurement, the Bank continues to recognize the investments in Subsidiaries at cost.
When a Subsidiary is acquired or sold during the year, operating results of such Subsidiary is included from the date of
acquisition or to the date of disposal.
d. Associates
An associate is an entity over which the investor has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate
in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee without the power to control or jointly control those policies.
An associate company, in its broadest sense, is a corporation in which a parent company possesses a stake. Usually, the
parent company owns only a minority stake of the corporation, as opposed to a subsidiary company, where a majority
stake is owned. The accounting treatment for consolidation of associates is as per Equity method while it is shown at cost
in the standalone financial statement of the bank as per NAS 27.
e. Loss of Control
When the Bank loses control over a Subsidiary, it derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the former subsidiary from the
consolidated statement of financial position. The Bank recognizes any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its
fair value when control is lost and subsequently accounts for it and for any amounts owed by or to the former subsidiary in
accordance with relevant NFRSs. That fair value shall be regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset in
121
22nd Annual Report 2078/79
accordance with relevant NFRS or, when appropriate, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or joint
venture. The Bank recognizes the gain or loss associated with the loss of control attributable to the former controlling interest.
Cash and Cash Equivalents include cash in hand, balances with banks, placements with banks and money at call and
at short notice with original maturity less than three months from the date of acquisition date that are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in their fair value, and are used for short term commitments.
Details of the Cash and Cash Equivalents are given in Note 4.1 to the Financial Statements.
a. Recognition
All financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized on the trade date, i.e. the date that Bank becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument. This includes ‘regular way trades. Regular way trade means purchases or sales
of financial assets that required delivery of assets within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention
in the market place.
The classification of financial instruments at the initial recognition depends on their purpose and characteristics and the
management’s intention in acquiring them.
Financial assets held for trading are recorded in the Statement of Financial Position at fair value. Changes in fair value are
recognized in ‘Other Operating income’. Dividend income is recorded in ‘Net trading income’ when the right to receive the
payment has been established.
Bank evaluates its held for trading asset portfolio, other than derivatives, to determine whether the intention to sell them
in the near future is still appropriate. When Bank is unable to trade these financial assets due to inactive markets and
management’s intention to sell them in the foreseeable future significantly changes, Bank may elect to reclassify these
financial assets.
122
www.kumaribank.com
Financial assets held for trading include instruments such as government securities and equity instruments that have been
acquired principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term.
Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss is recorded in the Statement of Financial Position at fair
value. Changes in fair value are recorded in ‘Net gain or loss on financial instruments designated at fair value through profit
or losses’ in the Statement of Profit or Loss. Interest earned is accrued under ‘Interest income’, using the effective interest
rate method, while dividend income is recorded under ‘Other operating income’ when the right to receive the payment has
been established.
The Bank has not designated any financial assets upon initial recognition as designated at fair value through profit or loss.
After initial measurement, available for sale financial investments are subsequently measured at fair value. Unrealized
gains and losses are recognized directly in equity through ‘Other comprehensive income / expense’ in the ‘Available
for sale reserve’. Where Bank holds more than one investment in the same security, they are deemed to be disposed
of on weighted average basis. Interest earned whilst holding ‘Available for sale financial investments’ is reported as
‘Interest income’ using the effective interest rate. Dividend earned whilst holding ‘Available for sale financial investments’
are recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss as ‘other operating income’ when the right to receive the payment has
been established. The losses arising from impairment of such investments are recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss
under ‘Impairment charge for loans and other losses’ and removed from the ‘Available for sale reserve’.
In the normal course of business, the fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is the transaction price (that
is, the fair value of the consideration given or received).
Loans and Advances mainly represent loans and advances to customers, Banking and Financial Institutions. After initial
measurement, loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using a rate that closely approximates
effective interest rate, less allowance for impairment. Within this category, loans and advances to the customers have been
recognized at amortized cost using the method that very closely approximates effective interest rate method opting the
Carve Out pronounced by Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nepal (ICAN); implementation of which has been extended
for a year till 2022/23 by ICAN through notice issued by regarding the implementation of EIR. The amortization is included
in ‘Interest Income’ in the Statement of Profit or Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in ‘Impairment
charge / reversal for loans and other losses’ in the Statement of Profit or Loss.
123
22nd Annual Report 2078/79
Financial Liabilities
Classification and Subsequent Measurement of Financial Liabilities
At the inception, Bank determines the classification of its financial liabilities. Accordingly, financial liabilities are classified as:
a. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
i. Financial liabilities held for trading
ii. Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss
b. Financial liabilities at amortized cost
After initial recognition, such financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest
rate method. Amortization is included in ‘Interest Expenses’ in the Statement of Profit or Loss. Gains and losses are
recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss when the liabilities are derecognized.
Reclassification
i. Reclassification of Financial Instruments ‘At fair value through profit or loss’,
Bank does not reclassify derivative financial instruments out of the fair value through profit or loss category when it is held
or issued.
Non-derivative financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition is not reclassified
subsequently out of fair value through profit or loss category.
c. De-recognition
124
www.kumaribank.com
The difference between the carrying value of the original financial liability and the consideration paid is recognized in profit
or loss.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the
fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
as a whole:
Level 1 Valuation technique using quoted market price: financial instruments with quoted prices for identical instruments
in active markets.
Level 2 Valuation technique using observable inputs: financial instruments with quoted prices for similar instruments in
active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets and financial instruments
valued using models where all significant inputs are observable.
Level 3 Valuation technique with significant unobservable inputs: financial instruments valued using valuation techniques
where one or more significant inputs are unobservable.
Level 1
When available, the Bank measures the fair value of an instrument using quoted prices in an active market for that instrument
or dealer price quotations, without any deduction for transaction costs.
A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available and represent actual and regularly
occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.
Level 2
If a market for a financial instrument is not active, then the Bank establishes fair value using a valuation technique. Valuation
techniques include using recent arm’s length transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties (if available), reference
to the current fair value of other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option
pricing models.
The chosen valuation technique makes maximum use of market inputs, relies as little as possible on estimates specific
to the Group, incorporates all factors that market participants would consider in setting a price, and is consistent with
accepted economic methodologies for pricing financial instruments.
Level 3
Certain financial instruments are recorded at fair value using valuation techniques in which current market transactions
or observable market data are not available. Their fair value is determined using a valuation model that has been tested
against prices or inputs to actual market transactions and using the Bank’s best estimate of the most appropriate model
assumptions.
The fair value of a demand deposit is not less than the amount payable on demand, discounted from the first date on which
the amount could be required to be paid.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its highest best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in
its highest and best use.
125
22nd Annual Report 2078/79
The Bank recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period during which
the change has occurred.
d. Impairment
At each reporting date, Bank assesses whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial
assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is deemed
to be impaired if and only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events, that have occurred
after the initial recognition of the asset (an ‘incurred loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the
estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
Objective evidence of impairment may include: indications that the borrower or a group of borrowers is experiencing
significant financial difficulty; the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; default or
delinquency in interest or principal payments; and where observable data indicates that there is a measurable decrease in
the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
If there is an objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the
difference between the assets’ carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future
expected credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of
an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in the income statement. Interest income continues to be
accrued on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows
for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss.
If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current rate closely
approximates effective interest rate. If the Bank has reclassified trading assets to loans and advances, the discount rate
for measuring any impairment loss is the new closely approximates effective interest rate determined at the reclassification
date. The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of collateralized financial assets reflects the
cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral, whether or not foreclosure
is probable.
These estimates are based on assumptions about a number of factors and actual results may differ, resulting in future
changes to the impairment allowance.
Loans and advances that have been assessed individually and found to be not impaired and all individually insignificant
loans and advances are then assessed collectively, in groups of assets with similar risk characteristics, to determine
whether provision should be made due to incurred loss events for which there is objective evidence, but the effects of
which are not yet evident. The collective assessment takes in to account data from the loan portfolio such as levels of
arrears, credit quality, portfolio size etc. and judgments based on current economic conditions.
Loans and advances have been impaired as the higher of amount derived as per the norms prescribed by Nepal Rastra
Bank for loan loss provision and amount determined as per paragraph 63 of NAS 39, as per Carve-out pronounced by
Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nepal on 20th September 2018.
The impairment loss on loans and advances is disclosed in Note 4.6 and 4.7 to the financial statements.
126
www.kumaribank.com
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortized cost has been incurred,
the amount of the loss is measured by discounting the expected future cash flows of a financial asset at its original
effective interest rate and comparing the resultant present value with the financial asset’s current carrying amount. The
impairment allowances on individually significant accounts are reviewed more regularly when circumstances require. This
normally encompasses re-assessment of the enforceability of any collateral held and the timing and amount of actual and
anticipated receipts. Individually assessed impairment allowances are only released when there is reasonable and objective
evidence of reduction in the established loss estimate. Interest on impaired assets continues to be recognized through the
unwinding of the discount.
Loans together with the associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and
all collateral has been realized or has been transferred to the Bank. If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated
impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously
recognized impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a future write off is later
recovered, the recovery is credited to the impairment charges for loans and other losses.
When impairment losses are determined for those financial assets where objective evidence of impairment exists, the
following common factors are considered:
Bank’s aggregate exposure to the customer;
The viability of the customer’s business model and their capacity to trade successfully out of financial difficulties and
generate sufficient cash flows to service debt obligations;
The amount and timing of expected receipts and recoveries;
The extent of other creditors ‘commitments ranking ahead of, or pari-pasu with the Bank and the likelihood of other
creditors continuing to support the company;
The realizable value of security and likelihood of successful repossession;
These losses will only be individually identified in the future. As soon as information becomes available which identifies
losses on individual financial assets within the group, those financial assets are removed from the group and assessed on
an individual basis for impairment.
Bank uses the following method to calculate historical loss experience on collective basis:
After grouping of loans on the basis of homogeneous risks, the Bank uses net flow rate method. Under this methodology
the movement in the outstanding balance of customers into default categories over the periods is used to estimate the
amount of financial assets that will eventually be irrecoverable, as a result of the events occurring before the reporting date
which the Bank is not able to identify on an individual loan basis.
Under this methodology, loans are grouped into ranges according to the number of days in arrears and statistical analysis
is used to estimate the likelihood that loans in each range will progress through the various stages of delinquency and
ultimately prove irrecoverable.
Current economic conditions and portfolio risk factors are also evaluated when calculating the appropriate level of
allowance required covering inherent loss. These additional macro and portfolio risk factors may include:
Recent loan portfolio growth and product mix
Unemployment rates
Gross Domestic Production (GDP)Growth
Inflation
Interest rates
Changes in government laws and regulations
127
22nd Annual Report 2078/79
Property prices
Payment status
But, the amount of provision to be created against Loans and Advances shall be higher of the following two amounts:
i) Impairment calculated as per Impairment Assessment Methodology as described above or,
ii) Loan Loss Provision calculated as per the provisions of Unified Directives issued by Nepal Rastra Bank.
Reversal of Impairment
If the amount of an impairment loss decreases in a subsequent period and the decrease can be related objectively to an
event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the excess is written back by reducing the financial asset impairment
allowance account accordingly. The write-back is recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss.
Collateral Valuation
The Bank seeks to use collateral, where possible, to mitigate its risks on financial assets. The collateral comes in various
forms such as cash, securities, letters of credit/guarantees, real estate, receivables, inventories, other non-financial assets
and credit enhancements such as netting agreements. The fair value of collateral is generally assessed, at a minimum, at
inception and based on the guidelines issued by the central bank (Nepal Rastra Bank). Non-financial collateral, such as real
estate, is valued based on data provided by third parties such as independent valuator and audited financial statements.
In the case of debt instruments, Bank assesses individually whether there is objective evidence of impairment based on the
same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. However, the amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative
loss measured as the difference between the amortized cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on
that investment previously recognized in the Income Statement. Future interest income is based on the reduced carrying
amount and is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the
impairment loss. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively
related to a credit event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the impairment loss is reversed through the
Income Statement.
In the case of equity investments classified as fair value through OCI, the impairment is adjustment through fair value
movement.
Bank writes-off certain financial investments when they are determined to be uncollectible.
128

Forward contracts are the contracts to purchase or sell a specific quantity of a financial instrument, a commodity, or
a foreign currency at a specified price determined at the outset, with delivery or settlement at a specified future date.
Settlement is at maturity by actual delivery of the item specified in the contract, or by a net cash settlement.
All freestanding contracts that are considered derivatives for accounting purposes are carried at fair value on the statement
of financial position regardless of whether they are held for trading or non-trading purposes. Changes in fair value on
derivatives held for trading are included in net gains/ (losses) from financial instruments in fair value through profit or loss
on financial assets/ liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
The freehold land and buildings of the bank are measured at cost and not reflected at fair value and no revaluation has
been carried at the reporting date.
Fixed assets except land are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation. Acquisition cost includes
expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets.
Measurement
An item of property, plant and equipment that qualifies for recognition as an asset is initially measured at its cost. Cost
includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and cost incurred subsequently to add to,
replace part of an item of property, plant & equipment. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials
and direct labor, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use and
the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Purchased software that
is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalized as part of computer equipment. When parts of an
item of property or equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of
property, plant and equipment.
Assets with a value less than Rs. 10,000 are charged off as a revenue expense irrespective of its useful life in the year of
purchase.
Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the period of five years. The amount of amortization
is charged as revenue expenses.
Cost Model
Property and equipment is stated at cost excluding the costs of day–to–day servicing, less accumulated depreciation
and accumulated impairment in value. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the equipment when that cost is
incurred, if the recognition criteria are met.
Revaluation Model
The Bank has not applied the revaluation model to the any class of freehold land and buildings or other assets. Such
properties are carried at a previously recognized GAAP Amount.
However, the assets transferred from the acquisition of Deva Bikas Bank Limited is recognized at Fair Value of the assets
and liabilities at the date of acquisition due to which the land transferred from Deva Bikas Bank is recognized at revalued
amount which is close to fair value.
Subsequent Cost
The subsequent cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying
amount of the item, if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within that part will flow to the Bank and it
can be reliably measured. The cost of day to day servicing of property, plant and equipment are charged to the Statement
of Profit or Loss as incurred.
De-recognition
The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use. The gain or loss arising from de-recognition of an item of property, plant and equipment
is included in the Statement of Profit or Loss when the item is derecognized. When replacement costs are recognized in
the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment, the remaining carrying amount of the replaced part is
derecognized. Major inspection costs are capitalized. At each such capitalization, the remaining carrying amount of the
previous cost of inspections is derecognized. The gain or losses arising from de-recognition of an item of property, plant
and equipment is included in profit or loss when the item is derecognized.
129
22nd Annual Report 2078/79
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated by on the basis of useful life of the asset on cost or carrying value of property, plant & equipment
other than freehold land.
The depreciable amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is allocated on systematic basis over its useful life,
under written down value method of depreciation except for Leasehold properties and is depreciated as follows:
Estimated Useful Life of Asset (Years) Estimated Useful Life of Asset (Years)
Asset Category
FY 2078/79 FY 2077/78
Buildings 40 Years 40 Years
Vehicles 10 Years 10 Years
Office Equipment 8 Years 8 Years
Furniture & Fixtures (Metal & Wooden) 8 Years 8 Years
Computer Hardware 8 Years 8 Years
Battery 6 Years 6 Years
Leasehold Properties 5 Years 5 Years
Salvage Value is assumed to be 10% of the cost of the asset in case of asset depreciated on Diminishing Value Method.
Depreciation on newly acquired property and equipment are charged from the next month of booking. Depreciation of
property and equipment ceases when it is derecognized at the time of its disposal. For the expenses allowance for tax
purpose; depreciation is provided as per Income Tax Act. The differences in the calculation of depreciation as per financial
and as per Income tax act is taken up for calculation of deferred tax.
Changes in Estimates
The asset’s residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each
financial year end.
Computer Software
Cost of purchased licenses and all computer software costs incurred, licensed for use by the Bank, which are not integrally
related to associated hardware, which can be clearly identified, reliably measured, and it’s probable that they will lead to
future economic benefits, are included in the Statement of Financial Position under the category ‘Intangible assets’ and
carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of cost incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific
software and are amortized over their useful life estimated as 5 years from the date of acquisition.
Subsequent Expenditure
Expenditure incurred on software is capitalized only when it is probable that this expenditure will enable the asset to
generate future economic benefits in excess of its originally assessed standard of performance and this expenditure can
be measured and attributed to the asset reliably. All other expenditure is expensed as incurred.
130
www.kumaribank.com
Measurement
Investment property is accounted for under Fair Value in the Financial Statements. In the absence of information related
to market price of the properties, the amount outstanding at the time of settlement of loan has been considered as the fair
value of the asset.
De-recognition
Investment properties are derecognized when they are disposed of or permanently withdrawn from use since no future
economic benefits are expected. Transfers are made to and from investment property only when there is a change in use.
When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as Property, Plant and Equipment, its fair value at the date
of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.
As per Nepal Accounting Standard- NAS 12 (Income Taxes) tax expense is the aggregate amount included in determination
of profit or loss for the period in respect of current and deferred taxation. Income Tax expense is recognized in the
statement of Profit or Loss, except to the extent it relates to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive
income in which case it is recognized in equity or in other comprehensive income. The Management periodically evaluates
positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It
establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to tax authorities.
Current Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities consist of amounts expected to be recovered from or paid to Inland Revenue Department
in respect of the current year, using the tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted on the reporting date and
any adjustment to tax payable in respect of prior years.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary
differences except:
Where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that
is not a business combination, and at the time of transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or
loss.
In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, where the timing of the reversal
of the temporary differences can be controlled and is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the
foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carried forward unused tax credits and unused
tax losses (if any), to the extent that it is probable that the taxable profit will be available against which the deductible
temporary differences, carried forward unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized except:
Where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an
asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination, and at the time of transaction, affects neither the
accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in Subsidiaries, deferred tax assets are
recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and
taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference will be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is probable
that sufficient profit will be available to allow the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are
reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit
will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is
realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the
reporting date.
Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only to the extent that they relate to income taxes imposed by the
same taxation authority.

22nd Annual Report 2078/79
Before a provision is established, the Bank recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract. The
expense relating to any provision is presented in the Statement of Profit or Loss net off any reimbursement.
All discernible risks are accounted for in determining the amount of all known liabilities. Contingent liabilities are possible
obligations whose existence will be confirmed only by uncertain future events or present obligations where the transfer of
economic benefit is not probable or cannot be reliably measured. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the Statement
of Financial Position but are disclosed unless they are remote.
The Bank receives legal claims against it in the normal course of business. Management has made judgments as to the
likelihood of any claim succeeding in making provisions. The time of concluding legal claims is uncertain, as is the amount
of possible outflow of economic benefits.
Interest Income
Interest income is recognized in profit or loss for all interest-bearing instruments on an accrual basis using the method
which is approximately the same with effective interest method as allowed by carve-out on NFRS. The effective interest
rate is the rate that exactly discounts the expected estimated future cash payments and receipts through the expected life
of the financial asset or liability. Where financial assets have been impaired, interest income continues to be recognized on
the impaired value, based on the original effective interest rate.
Bank has adopted the guideline issued by Nepal Rastra bank issued on July 2019 for the recognition of Interest Income
i.e. the criteria for suspension of interest income and cessation of accrued Interest which requires cessation of recognition
interest income for loans which are significantly impaired i.e. bad. As on Asadh End 2079 the bank has ceased acquisition
of interest amounting to NPR 3,306,179 related to bad loan which was NPR. 217,849,182 as on Asadh End 2078.
Dividend Income
Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.
Net income from other financial instrument measured at fair value through Profit or Loss
Trading assets such as equity shares and mutual fund are recognized at fair value through profit or loss. No other financial
instruments are designated at fair value through profit or loss. The bank has no income under the heading net income from
other financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss.

The contribution payable by the employer to a defined contribution plan in proportion to the services rendered to Bank
by the employees and is recorded as an expense under ‘Personnel Expense’ as and when they become due. Unpaid
contributions are recorded as a liability under ‘Other Liabilities’ in Notes 4.23.
Bank contributed 10% of the salary of each employee to the Employees’ Provident Fund. The above expenses are identified
as contributions to ‘Defined Contribution Plans’ as defined in Nepal Accounting Standards – NAS 19 (Employee Benefits).
Gratuity
An actuarial valuation is carried out every year to ascertain the full liability under gratuity.
Bank’s obligation in respect of defined benefit obligation is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that
employees have earned for their service in the current and prior periods and discounting that benefit to determine its
present value, then deducting the fair value of any plan assets to determine the net amount to be shown in the Statement of
Financial Position. The value of a defined benefit asset is restricted to the present value of any economic benefits available
in the form of refunds from the plan or reduction on the future contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present
value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirement that apply to any plan in Bank. An
economic benefit is available to Bank if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities.
The Gratuity recognition each year is as per the bank’s employee bye laws which stipulates for recognition of gratuity
provision / payment as per the latest staff basic remuneration; multiplied by the eligible number of years.
Bank determines the interest expense on the defined benefit liability by applying the discount rate used to measure
the defined benefit liability at the beginning of the annual period. The discount rate is the average yield on government
bonds issued during the period having maturity dates approximating to the terms of Bank’s obligations.
133
22nd Annual Report 2078/79
The increase in gratuity liabilities attributable to the services provided by employees during the year ended 16th July,
2022 (current service cost) has been recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss under ‘Personnel Expenses’ together
with interest expense under the Interest Expense of bank. Bank recognizes the total actuarial gain/(loss) that arises in
computing Bank’s obligation in respect of gratuity in other comprehensive income during the period in which it occurs.
3.16. Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is a lease or it contains a lease, is based on the substance of the arrangement
and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or
assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
Finance Lease
Agreements which transfer to counterparties substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of assets,
but not necessarily legal title, are classified as finance lease.
When Bank is the lessor under finance lease, the amounts due under the leases, after deduction of unearned interest income,
are included in, ‘Loans& receivables from other customers’, as appropriate. Interest income receivable is recognized in ‘Net
interest income’ over the periods of the leases so as to give a constant rate of return on the net investment in the leases.
When Bank is a lessee under finance leases, the leased assets are capitalized and included in ‘Property, Plant and Equipment’
and the corresponding liability to the lessor is included in ‘Other liabilities’. A finance lease and its corresponding liability
are recognized initially at the fair value of the asset or if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Finance
charges payable are recognized in ‘Interest expenses’ over the period of the lease based on the interest rate implicit in the
lease so as to give a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Operating Lease
All other leases are classified as operating leases. When acting as lessor, Bank includes the assets subject to operating
leases in ‘Property, plant and equipment’ and accounts for them accordingly. Impairment losses are recognized to the
extent that residual values are not fully recoverable and the carrying value of the assets is thereby impaired. Lease payments
under an operating lease are recognized as an expense as per NFRS 16 under Depreciation charge on right of use of assets
and interest expense on lease liability basis over the lease term.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to Nepalese Rupees
using the spot foreign exchange rate ruling at that date and all differences arising on non-trading activities are taken to
‘Other Operating Income’ in the Statement of Profit or Loss. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the
difference between amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest
and payments during the period, and the amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the rates of exchange prevailing
at the end of the reporting period.
Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated using the exchange
rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items in foreign currency measured at fair value are translated
using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Foreign exchange differences arising on the settlement or reporting of monetary items at rates different from those which
were initially recorded are dealt with in the Statement of Profit or Loss.
To meet the financial needs of customers, the Bank enters into various irrevocable commitments and contingent liabilities.
These consist of financial guarantees, letter of credit and other undrawn commitments to lend. Letters of credit, guarantees
and acceptances commit the Bank to make payments on behalf of customers in the event of a specific act, generally
134
www.kumaribank.com
related to the import or export of goods. They carry a similar credit risk to loans. Operating lease commitments of the
Bank (as a lessor and as a lessee) and pending legal claims against the Bank to form part of commitments of the Bank.
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the Statement of Financial Position but are disclosed unless they are remote. But
these contingent liabilities do contain credit risk and are therefore form part of the overall risk of the Bank.
Financial guarantees are initially recognized in the Statement of Financial Position (within ‘other liabilities’) at fair value,
being the premium received. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Bank’s liability under each guarantee is measured at the
higher of the amount initially recognized less cumulative amortization recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss, and the
best estimate of expenditure required to settle any financial obligation arising as a result of the guarantee.
Any increase in the liability relating to the financial guarantees is recorded in the Statement of Profit or Loss under
‘Impairment Charges for Loans & other losses’. The premium received is recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss
under ‘Net fees and commission income’ on a straight line basis over the life of the guarantee; except for the commission
income up to Rs. 1,00,000, which is recognized as realized irrespective of the period of guarantee.
Earnings per share is calculated and presented in consolidated statement of profit or loss.
The bank has identified the key segments of business on the basis of nature of operations that assists the Executive
Committee of the bank in decision making process and to allocate the resources. It will help the management to assess the
performance of the business segments. The business segments identified are Banking (including loan, deposit and trade
operations), Payment solutions (Cards), Remittance, and Treasury.

1. Identify & Classify Risks
•Classify the risks as acceptable or unacceptable risks.
•Identify risk and return measures based on benchmarking with the peers.
2. Identify risk return matrices •For example, proportion of NPL to total loans serves as a good measure to quantify risk
appetite for credit risk
• The peer group of the Bank shall comprise of bank’s functioning in same or similar
3. Identify peer group
geographical regions, comparable size and business strategies
4. Analyze, measure and • Measures chosen are scrutinized among the peers for identifying drivers and set tolerance
formulate risk appetite limits for risk measures and target levels for return measures.
statements • These risk appetite statements shall drive the business growth strategy of the Bank
Stress Testing is the process where a number of statistically defined possibilities are determined based on the most
damaging combination of events, and the loss they would produce. It is a valuable risk management tool which studies the
impact of unlikely but not impossible stress events. A stress event is an exceptional but credible event to which a bank’s
portfolio is exposed. As a part of its risk measurement mechanism, Kumari Bank Ltd. puts an emphasis on evaluating
where the Bank stands under stressful market conditions. It helps to provide information on the kinds of conditions
under which strategies or position, the Bank would be most vulnerable and thus, strategies are devised such that such
circumstance doesn’t arise and/or to ensure least impact upon the Bank from such scenarios even if they do occur.
In conducting stress tests, the Bank gives special consideration to instruments or markets where concentrations
exist as such positions may be more difficult to liquidate or offset in stressful situations. The Bank considers both
historical market events as well as forward-looking scenarios and also considers worst case scenarios in addition to
more probable events. Ad hoc scenarios are also prepared reflecting specific market conditions and for particular
concentrations of risk that arise within the businesses. For example, credit shock scenario is measured in terms of
deterioration of assets quality in terms of the adequacy of capital of the bank.
The stress testing methodology assumes that scope for management action would be limited during a stress event,
reflecting the stress scenarios in Credit Shocks, Market Shocks, Liquidity Shock and other factors of stress scenarios
in the banking sector. The Board of the bank has responsibility for reviewing stress exposures and, where management
oversight, monitoring, evaluation and reporting at regular intervals. Regular stress test scenarios are applied and the
report on regular basis reviewed by the Board of the bank along with discussions at Risk Management Committee (RMC).

a) Concentration risk;
b) Illiquidity of markets in stressed market conditions;
c) Credit Shocks- CAR perspectives and NPL perspectives;
d) Market Interest rate risk scenarios;
e) Exchange rate and equity investment fluctuations risks; and
f) Other Risks
KBL’s stress tests are both of a quantitative and qualitative nature, incorporating credit risk, market risk and liquidity
risk aspects. Quantitative criteria identify plausible stress scenarios to which bank could be exposed. Qualitative
criteria emphasize that two major goals of stress testing are to evaluate the capacity of the bank’s capital to absorb
potential large losses and to identify steps the Bank can take to reduce its risk and conserve capital. This assessment
is integral to setting and evaluating the Bank’s strategy and the results of stress testing are routinely communicated
to RMC and the board of the bank.
The Bank carries out stress testing in three broad areas based on credit shocks, market shocks and liquidity shocks
which are discussed below:
I. Credit Shocks:
The Bank subjects its portfolios to a series of simulated stress scenarios. The Bank stresses its portfolios with the
shocks of the magnitude experienced elsewhere, even when the Bank has never been exposed to those in the past.
The Bank has formulated stress testing framework where various historical scenarios have been analyzes. The Bank
carries out stress testing in line with the stress testing framework on a regular basis as prescribed by Stress Testing
Framework or NRB guidelines issued from time to time, under Case basis or collective basis of CAR and NPL
perspective along with Concentration stress risks.
Credit risk:
Is measured as the amount which could be lost if a customer or counterparty fails to make repayments.
Is monitored within limits, approved by individuals within a framework of delegated authorities. These limits
represent the peak exposure or loss to which the Bank could be subjected should the customer or counterparty
fail to perform its contractual obligations;
Is managed through a robust risk control framework which outlines clear and consistent policies, principles and
guidance for credit risk management.
160
www.kumaribank.com
Bank’s Credit Policy elaborates detailed procedures for proper risk management. The Bank has delegated credit
approval limits to various officials to approve and sanction various amount of credit request based on their individual
expertise and risk judgment capability.
As a check and balance mechanism, each credit case requires dual approval. Regular monitoring of the credit portfolio
ensures that the Bank does not run the risk of concentration of portfolio in a particular business sector or a single
borrower. Similarly, the Bank also exercises controlled investment policy with adequately equipped resource looking
after the investment decisions. To cap these all, the Bank has strong Credit processing channels in place comprising
of various Directors from the Board of the Bank which reviews all credit proposals beyond a specified amount.
In the event Bank determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial
asset, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics such as collateral
type, past due status and other relevant factors and collectively assesses them for impairment. However, assets that
are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are not
included in a collective assessment of impairment.
Bank uses the following method to calculate historical loss experience on collective basis:
After grouping of loans on the basis of homogeneous risks, the Bank uses net flow rate method. Under this
methodology, the movement in the outstanding balance of customers into default categories over the periods are
used to estimate the amount of financial assets that will eventually be irrecoverable, as a result of the events occurring
before the reporting date which the Bank is not able to identify on an individual loan basis.
Under this methodology, loans are grouped into ranges according to the number of days in arrears and statistical
analysis is used to estimate the likelihood that loans in each range will progress through the various stages of
delinquency and ultimately prove irrecoverable.
161
22nd Annual Report 2078/79
Current economic conditions and portfolio risk factors are also evaluated when calculating the appropriate level of
allowance required covering inherent loss. These additional macro and portfolio risk factors may include:
Recent loan portfolio growth and product mix
Unemployment rates
Gross Domestic Production (GDP)Growth
Inflation
Interest rates
Changes in government laws and regulations
Property prices
Payment status
But, the amount of provision to be created against Loans and Advances shall be higher of the following two amounts:
i) Impairment calculated as per Impairment Assessment Methodology as described in Pt. 5.1.2. c above or,
ii) Loan Loss Provision calculated as per the provisions of Directive No. 2, Unified Directives, 2078 and Circular
issued by Nepal Rastra Bank (Circular 01/078/79).
iii) As per the impairment testing conducted as per Pt. (ii), only few loans and advances were identified as individually
impaired in each FY 2078-79
Amount (Rs.)
Particulars 2078/79
Total Individual Impairment as per NAS 39 403,824,583
iv) All loans and advances were then grouped into homogenous types such as home loans, auto loans, term loans,
etc. to calculate collective impairment.
v) Collective impairment was calculated following net flow rate method. Under this methodology, the movements in
the outstanding balance of customers into default categories over the periods are used to estimate the amount of
financial assets that will eventually be irrecoverable, as a result of the events occurring before the reporting date
which the Bank is not able to identify on an individual loan basis.
vi) Collective impairment as per the method mentioned in Pt. (v) in each FY 2078-79 is shown below:
Amount (Rs.)
Particulars 2078/79
Total Collective Impairment as per paragraph 63 of NAS 39 561,117,630
Collateral management
The Bank seeks to use collateral, where possible, to mitigate its risks on financial assets. The collateral comes
in various forms such as cash, securities, letters of credit/guarantees, real estate, receivables, inventories, other
non-financial assets and credit enhancements such as netting agreements. The fair value of collateral is generally
assessed, at a minimum, at inception and based on the guidelines issued by the Nepal Rastra Bank. Non-financial
collateral, such as real estate, is valued based on data provided by third parties such as independent valuator and
audited financial statements.
162
www.kumaribank.com
In the case of debt instruments, Bank assesses individually whether there is objective evidence of impairment based
on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. However, the amount recorded for impairment
is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortized cost and the current fair value, less any
impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in the Income Statement. Future interest income is based
on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for
the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument increases
and the increase can be objectively related to a credit event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the
impairment loss is reversed through the Income Statement.
In the case of equity investments classified as available for sale, objective evidence would also include a ‘significant’
or ‘prolonged’ decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost. Where there is evidence of impairment,
the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any
impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in profit or loss is removed from equity and recognized in
the Statement of profit or loss. However, any subsequent increase in the fair value of an impaired available for sale
equity security is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Bank writes-off certain available for sale financial investments when they are determined to be uncollectible.
Liquidity of the bank is assessed, measured and maintained by Financial Market Department by ensuring minimal
compliance with Nepal Rastra Bank prescribed ratios such as CRR, SLR, and Credit to Deposit Ratio and Liquidity
Coverage Ratio. The department also maintains investments over and above the prescribed limit to cope up with the
unprecedented liquidity risks that the Bank is ever exposed to.
163
22nd Annual Report 2078/79
Apart from Financial Market (or front office) and back office, the bank also has Treasury Mid Office; which works as a
third eye which assesses the risks and timely evaluates and report to the senior management, whose reporting chain
is also separate to the front and back office.
The Bank has adopted dual control mechanism in its all operational activities where each and every financial and
non-financial transaction is subject to approval from an authority higher than the transaction initiator. Regular review
meetings are conducted to assess the adequacy of risk monitoring mechanism and required changes are made as
and when felt necessary. Independent reconciliation unit is established to conduct daily reconciliation of all Nostro /
agency accounts, Inter-Branch and Inter-Department account.
The Bank has independent internal audit, which reports to the Audit Committee of the Bank. The Audit Committee
meets frequently and reviews the business process and financial position of the Bank. In order to have better focus
on managing operational risks across branches and to monitor them from Head Office level, the Bank has separate
Branch Operation Department and Operation Risk Management & Compliance Department at Head Office. The Bank
has strong MIS in place to monitor the regular operational activities.
Level-1 inputs
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can
access at the measurement date. Held for trading and available for sale investments have been recorded using Level
1 inputs.
Level-2 inputs
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly.
Level-3 inputs
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

they possess adequate capital resources in commensuration with all material risks posed to it by its operating
activities. The bank has devised Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP), which is a set of policies,
methodologies, techniques and procedures to assess the capital adequacy requirements in relation to bank’s risk
profile and effectiveness of its risk management, control environment and strategic planning.
Following elements are taken into consideration while assessing capital adequacy of the Bank:

recognized during the year the aforementioned suspended amount has not been transferred regulatory reserve. The Net
Realizable Value (NRV) of collateral is adequate to cover the principal and accrued interest of the borrowers with arrears
of more than three months and within 12 months, and therefore, accrued interest is recognized as interest income. For the
purpose of classification of interest income/expense to BFIs, average rate on loan/deposit to BFIs have been considered.

influence unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not the case. If the holding is less than 20%, the entity will
be presumed not to have significant influence unless such influence can be clearly demonstrated. The existence of
significant influence by an entity is usually evidenced in one or more of the following ways:
representation on the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the investee;
participation in the policy-making process, including participation in decisions about dividends or other distributions;
material transactions between the entity and the investee;

a) Carve-Out: 1 - NFRS 9: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (Incurred Loss Model to measure the
Impairment Loss on Loan and Advances)
As per NAS-39, an entity shall assess at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that
a financial asset or group of financial assets measured at amortized cost is impaired. If any such evidence exists, the
entity shall apply paragraph 63 to determine the amount of any impairment loss.
The Carve-out requires Banks to measure impairment loss on loans and advances as the higher amount derived as per
norms prescribed by Nepal Rastra Bank for loan loss provision and amount determined as per paragraph 63 of NAS-
39; and shall apply paragraph 63 to measure the impairment loss on financial assets and other assets other than loan
and advances. The Bank shall disclose the impairment loss as per the Carve-out and the amount of impairment loss
determined as per paragraph 63.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortized cost has been incurred,
the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of
estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial
asset's original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount
of the asset shall be reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss shall be
recognized in profit or loss.
The Bank has availed the Carve-out and has accordingly recognized impairment loss on loans and advances as the
higher amount derived as per norms prescribed by Nepal Rastra Bank for loan loss provision and amount determined
as per paragraph 63 of NAS-39. The detail of impairment loss on loans and advances are as follows:

loss provision as Individual Impairment.
b) Carve-out: 2- NAS 39: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (Impracticability to determine transaction
cost of all previous years which is the part of effective interest rate)
As per NAS-39, an entity shall estimate cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for
example, prepayment, call and similar options) but shall not consider future credit losses while calculating the effective
interest rate. The calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an
integral part of the effective interest rate (see NAS 18 – Revenue).
The Carve-out states that the effective interest rate calculation shall estimate the expected cash flows by considering
all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call, and similar options)
but shall not consider the expected credit losses. The calculation includes all fees and points paid or received unless
it is immaterial or impracticable to determine reliably, between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the
effective interest rate (see paragraphs BS.4.1-BS.4.3), transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts. There is
a presumption that the cash flows and the expected life of a group of financial instruments can be estimated reliably.
However, in those rare cases when it is not possible to reliably estimate the cash flows or the expected life of a financial
instrument (or group of financial instruments), the entity shall use the contractual cash flows over the full contractual
term of the financial instrument (or group of financial instruments). The Bank has availed this Carve-out and opted for
the extended time limit for its implementation and has not considered all fees and points paid or received which are
impracticable to measure reliably while determining effective interest rate.

As per Section 182 (9) of Companies Act, dividend amount not claimed/received by any shareholder even after the expiry of
a period of five years after the date of resolution adopted by the company in its general meeting to distribute dividend shall

A cash-generating unit (CGU) to which goodwill has been allocated shall be tested for impairment annually, and whenever
there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing the carrying amount of the unit, including the goodwill,
with the recoverable amount of the unit. If the recoverable amount of the unit exceeds the carrying amount of the unit, the
goodwill allocated to that unit shall be regarded as not impaired. If the carrying amount of the unit exceeds the recoverable
amount of the unit, the entity shall recognize the impairment loss. Since the recoverable amount is higher than carrying
amount of the cash generating unit , goodwill allocated is not impaired. The summary of calculation of impairment are
stipulated below:
Calculation of recoverable amount of the CGU (value in use) Amount
Present value of cash flows for years 2080 to 2085 16,561,752,931
Present value of cash flow for terminal year 157,603,334,975
Total recoverable amount 174,165,087,906
Calculation of carrying amount of the CGU: 161,950,478,151

www.kumaribank.com
The statement of profit or loss has been prepared using classification ‘by nature’ method.
The cash flows from operation within the statement of cash flows have been derived using the indirect method.
The accounting policies have been consistently applied by entity with those of the previous financial year in accordance
with NAS 01 Presentation of Financial Statements, except those which had to be changed as a result of application of the
new NFRS. Further, comparative information is reclassified wherever necessary to comply with the current presentation.
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position only
when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis,
or to realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously. Income and expenses are not offset in the Statement of Profit
or Loss unless required or permitted by an Accounting Standard.
2.7 Discounting
When the realization of assets and settlement of obligations is for more than one year, the company considers discounting
of such assets and liabilities where the impact is material.
The principle accounting policies are adopted in preparation of financial statements, which have been consistently applied
unless otherwise stated.
203
22nd Annual Report 2078/79
3.2.6 Annual Fee and Performance Fee from Portfolio Management Service
The annual fee and performance fee is recognized on cash basis. This is because of impracticability to reliably
measure the amount of fees to be received. The fee is calculated based on the value of portfolio of the client as on
the date of one-year completion after the execution of PMS agreement with the client. As the value of the portfolio
for future date cannot be measured reliably, the fee cannot be measured reliably as on the financial statement date.
Dividends are presented as net realized gain/ (loss) on Financial Assets held at fair value based on the underlying
classification of the equity investment along with the trading gain/(loss) from financial assets measured at fair value
through profit & loss account.

Current Tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively
enacted on the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Provision for taxation is based on the profit for the year adjusted for taxation purposes in accordance with the
provisions of the Income Tax Act, 2058 and the amendments thereto.
Deferred Tax
Deferred taxation is computed for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the tax base of assets and liabilities, which is the amount attributed to those assets
and liabilities for tax purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization
or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted on the
reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences
to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred
tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the
related tax benefit will be realized.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse,
using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and
assets, and they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities,
but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized
simultaneously.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional
currency at the spot exchange rate (Closing rate) at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items
is the difference between the amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year, adjusted for
effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortized cost in the foreign currency translated at the spot
exchange rate at the end of the year.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the
functional currency at the spot exchange rate at the date on which the fair value is determined. Non-monetary items
that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the spot exchange rate at the
date of the transaction.
Foreign currency differences arising on translation are generally recognized in profit or loss.
205
22nd Annual Report 2078/79
Classification
The company classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities as per NFRS 9 into the following measurement
categories:
Financial assets
a. Financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss;
b. Financial assets held at fair value through other comprehensive income, and
c. Financial assets held at amortized cost.
Financial liabilities
a. Held at fair value through profit or loss, or
b. Held at amortized cost.
Financial assets
The company classifies the financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value on the basis of
the company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the
financial assets. Interest income from these financial assets is included in Interest Income using the effective interest
rate method. The two classes of financial assets are as follows:
Financial Liabilities
The company classifies financial liabilities as follows:
a. Financial liabilities recognized at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Financial liabilities are classified as FVTPL if they are held for trading or are designated at fair value through profit
or loss. Upon initial recognition, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition are recognized
in statement of profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent changes in fair value is recognized at statement of
profit or loss.
b. Financial Liabilities recognized at amortized cost
All financial liabilities other than measured at fair value though statement of profit or loss are classified as
subsequently measured at amortized cost using effective interest method.
Measurement
a. Initial Measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the company becomes party to the contractual
provisions of the relevant instrument and are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from
the fair value on initial recognition of financial assets or financial liabilities unless the same is measured at fair
value through profit or loss. The transaction cost of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value
through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
b. Subsequent Measurement
A financial asset or financial liability is subsequently measured either at fair value or at amortized cost based on
the classification of the financial asset or liability.
Financial asset or liability classified as measured at amortized cost is subsequently measured at amortized cost
using effective interest rate method. The amortized cost of a financial asset or financial liability is the amount at
which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition minus principal repayments, plus or
minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest rate method of any difference between that initial
amount and the maturity amount, and minus any reduction for impairment or non-collectability.
206
www.kumaribank.com
Further, once a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been written down as a result of an
impairment loss, interest income is thereafter calculated by applying effective interest rate to the gross carrying
amount of a financial asset. Interest income on financial assets which has been individually impaired are
not recognized.
Financial assets classified at fair value are subsequently measured at fair value. The subsequent changes in
fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in statement of profit or loss
whereas of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized in other
comprehensive income.
De-recognition
a. De-recognition of Financial Assets
Financial assets are derecognized when the right to receive cash flows from the assets has expired, or has
been transferred, and the company has transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership.
Financial assets are also derecognized upon write off. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of
an item of financial asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and its carrying amount
and is recognized in the statement of profit or loss. The cumulative gain or loss that was recognized in other
comprehensive income, is recognized to statement of profit or loss except for investment in equity instruments
measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The difference between the carrying amount of a liability (or portion) extinguished or transferred to another party
(including related unamortized cost) and the amount paid for it (including any non-cash assets transferred or
liability assumed), are included in statement of profit or loss.
The fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance risk. When available, the scheme measures the fair value
of an instrument using the quoted price in an active market for that instrument. A market is regarded as active if
transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information
on an ongoing basis.
If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the company uses valuation techniques that maximize the
use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation technique
incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction. The
company uses
A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available
from NEPSE and are traded frequently i.e. traded within 30 days.
Level 2: These are the inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either
directly or indirectly. These would include prices for the similar, but not identical, assets or liabilities that were
then adjusted to reflect the factors specific to the measured asset or liability.
The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition is normally the transaction price
i.e. the fair value of the consideration given or received. Where available, the company measures the fair value of
an instrument using quoted prices in an active market for that instrument. If a market for a financial instrument is
not active, the company, establishes fair value using an appropriate fair valuation technique.
For all unquoted investment in equity instruments, their cost has been considered as their fair value and
accordingly these are recognized at cost, net of impairment if any.
207
22nd Annual Report 2078/79
Impairment
At each reporting date, the company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group
of financial assets not carried at fair value through the Statement of Profit or Loss are impaired.
A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired when objective evidence demonstrates that a loss
event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset(s), and that the loss event has an impact on the future
cash flows of the asset(s) that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired can include significant financial difficulty of the borrower
or issuer, default or delinquency by a borrower, restructuring of a loan or advance by the company on terms
that the company would not otherwise consider, indications that a borrower or issuer will enter bankruptcy, the
disappearance of an active market for a security, or other observable data relating to a group of assets such
as adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers in the group, or economic conditions that
correlate with defaults in the group.
In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost
is objective evidence of impairment.
Default rates, loss rates and the expected timing of future recoveries are regularly benchmarked against actual
outcomes to ensure that they remain appropriate. Impairment losses on assets measured at amortized cost
are calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash
flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Loans together with the associated allowance are
written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realized or has been
transferred to the company.
If in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an
event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is increased or
reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a write off is later recovered, the recovery is recognized in the
‘recovery of loan written off’.
b. Impairment of investment in equity instrument classified as fair value though other comprehensive income
Objective evidence of impairment of investment in an equity instrument is a significant or prolonged decline in
its fair value below its cost. Impairment losses are recognized by reclassifying the losses accumulated in the fair
value reserve in equity to profit or loss. The cumulative loss that is reclassified from equity to profit or loss is
the difference between the acquisition cost, net of any principal repayment and the current fair value, less any
impairment loss recognized previously in profit or loss.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalized as part of that equipment.
If significant parts of an item of property or equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate
items (major components) of property and equipment.
208
www.kumaribank.com
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property and equipment (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds
from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognized within other income in profit or loss.
The low value minor equipment below NRs 5,000 are not booked as Property, Plant and Equipment to ease record keeping
and is shown under Office Accessories & Equipment’s under Other Administrative Expenses in Explanatory Notes 4.20 as
the cumulative impact of such amount is considered immaterial.
Subsequent Costs
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that the future economic benefits of the expenditure will flow
to the Entity. Ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property and equipment less their estimated residual values using
the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognized in profit or loss. Leased assets are
depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Entity will obtain
ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives of significant items of property and equipment lives for the current and comparative periods are
as follows are as follows:
Asset Type Useful Life Time (Years)
Laptop and Computers 8 Years
Furniture & Fixtures 8 Years
Office Equipment 8 Years
Motor Vehicles 10 Years
Other Office Equipment 8 Years
Leasehold Developments As estimated by the management, or within the lease period where applicable.
De-recognition
The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from de-recognition of an item of property, plant and
equipment is included in profit or loss when the item is derecognized.
Subsequent expenditure on software assets is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied
in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is expensed as incurred.
Software is amortized on a straight-line basis in profit or loss over its estimated useful life, from the date on which it is
available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Asset Type Useful Life Time (Years)
Software 5 years or license period whichever is earlier
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
Immediately before the initial classification as held for sale, the carrying amounts of the assets (or assets and liabilities in a
disposal group) are measured in accordance with the applicable accounting policies described above.
There are no assets that meet the recognition criteria for assets held for sale and discontinued operation.
3.13 Provisions
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Entity has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be
estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
209
22nd Annual Report 2078/79
a. Leave Encashment
The company's liability towards the accumulated leave (Annual and Sick Leave) which is expected to be utilized
beyond one year from the end of the reporting period is treated as other long-term employee benefits. The
company's net obligation towards unutilized accumulated leave is calculated by discounting the amount of future
benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods to determine the
present value of such benefits. The calculation is performed by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit
method
The Company recognizes all re-measurement gains and losses including all service cost and interest cost related
to other long term employee benefits are expensed in profit or loss account.

accounting nor taxable profit nor loss, it is not accounted for. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws
that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred
income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future
taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax is provided on
temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the
temporary difference is controlled by the company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the
foreseeable future.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would flow from the manner in which the company
expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.
