Performance Review FY 2078-79


Deposit
F.Y. 2078-79 remained a year with a robust growth in terms of business volume compared to previous year. However there is shortfall
in targeted deposit of total of NPR 197.88 billion by 14.92 billion and reached NPR 182.96 billion. The shortfall in deposit target is
due to roadblock of liquidity crunch within the Banks and Financial Institutions (BFIs). The delay in disbursement of development
expenditures and slowdown in growth of remittances has also helped to deposit crisis. The uptrend was supported by increased
Term Deposits, followed by current deposits. The resulted increase is due to the attractive interest rates offered, effective marketing
and promotional strategies, other facilities extended, unique blend of deposit schemes, and other successful promotional campaigns.

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%

Loan & Advances and Investment


We were able to extend total loans of NPR 159.44 billion this year which is shortfall by NPR 21.79 billion, less than targeted. The
shortfall in loan volume is due to constraint in loanable funds due to liquidity crisis in the economy. However the effective business,
marketing and promotional strategies, attractive interest rates and other services offered, loyal customer base, and so on has helped
the bank to increase the portfolio as compared to previous year. Likewise, we almost even managed to reach the targeted-investment
volume with a slight variation of NPR 3.84 billion only from the budget.

Total Investment 38,852 35,006 (3,846) -11%

Profit & Loss


With an increased loan-volume than previous year during the year in review, the resultant increase in volume contributed towards an
excess interest income than previous year. Similarly, the higher interest expense was due to the surge in interest rate in deposit than
targeted due to liquidity crunch in the economy. Due to restricted opportunities for investment given tight liquidity, the investment rate
of return of the overall market is lower than expected, which had impacted in the interest income from investment.

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.

Financial Position Indicators


Equity
Equity is the value of the business left to owners paying off the liabilities. Total equity is the residual interest of the owners towards
the asset after subtracting the value of all the liabilities. The amount accumulated in equity can be from the money originally invested
and all the other investments that are made in the company after the initial payment and through the earnings that Bank had retained
over a period of time through its operations.

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 .

Looking five years back at its equity history; the Bank has gradually increased its equity size. From NPR 10.54 billion in FY 2074/75,
the equity base is NPR 21 billion in FY 2078/79, i.e. increase in equity-base is aiding the Bank's business expansion ( 99.26% of
growth within a five-year period).Over the year, Bank has acquired other BFIs which had supported in the growth of equity base of
the bank. Further the increase in equity in 2076-77 is also due to acquisition of Deva Bikas Bank Limited.

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.

Value Added Statement


Value Added Statement is a financial statement that depicts wealth created by an organization and how the wealth is distributed
among various stakeholders. Various stakeholders comprise of the employee, shareholders, government, creditors and the wealth
retained in the business. It is the profit then generated by the collective efforts of management, employees, capital and the utilization
of its capacity that is distributed amongst its various stakeholders. Organization can survive without earning profits, but cannot
survive without adding value. Therefore, the optimized profit is less important than the optimized added value of an organization. This
value added is the reward for employees and as well as the creditors (providers of capital) of an organization.

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.

On Combating Financial Threats


Financial crime is defined as crime that is specifically committed
against property. It often involves an unlawful conversion of the
ownership of property for one’s own personal use and benefit.
These crimes are almost always committed for the personal benefit
of the criminal, and they involve an illegal conversion of ownership
of the property that is involved. Financial crimes can occur in
many different forms and takes place across the globe. Some of
the most common crimes faced in the financial sector are money
laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, tax evasion, embezzlement,
forgery, counterfeiting, and identity theft. These crimes are
committed every single day, and governments across the globe
are constantly prosecuting financial criminals while searching for
ways to mitigate the prevalence of such heinous crimes.

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.

2. Review of International and National Economy:


Due to the economic recession, the global economy, which is relaxed and stable, is gradually improving and dynamic in recent
years, but the Covid-19 epidemic that has spread globally since the beginning of 2020 has caused a humanitarian crisis as well
as economic problems around the world and its effects are still being felt. Meanwhile, before the impact of the Covid epidemic
subsided, economic activities have been affected worldwide due to the war between Russia and Ukraine. There has been
a significant increase in the prices of petroleum products and food items. Global trade activity and capital flows have been
affected. This has added challenges to the global economy that is recovering from the effects of Covid-19, which is expected
to increase poverty, unemployment, and income inequality.

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.

22nd Annual Report 2078/79

FY 2078/79 amounted to USD 7.51 billion, which is an increase of 1.5% from the same review-period last year. The number of
workers migrating for foreign employment after the containment of Covid-19 pandemic has had a direct effect in the surge in
remittance flow in the review year.

The loss in current account stands at NPR 595 billion 730 million in the first 11 months of the year in review, while the balance
of payments stands at NPR 269 billion 810 million. The current account deficit was NPR 298 billion 110 million and the balance

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.

2.2. Reporting Period and Approval of Financial Statements


a) Reporting Period
The Bank has prepared the financial statements in accordance with NFRS depicting financial performance for FY 2021/22
and financial position of 16th July 2022 and the comparatives of FY 2020/21.

b) Responsibility for Financial Statements


The preparation and presentation of Financial Statements including consolidated financial statements is the responsibility
of the Board of Directors as per the governing provisions.

c) Approval of Financial Statements by Directors


The accompanied Financial Statements have been authorized to issue by the Board of Directors vide its resolution dated
30th September 2022 and recommended for its approval by the Annual General Meeting of the shareholders.

2.3. Functional and Presentation Currency


The Financial Statements of Bank and Group are presented in Nepalese Rupees (Rs.), which is the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the Bank operates. There was no change in Bank’s presentation and functional currency
during the year under review.

2.4. Use of Estimates, Assumptions and Judgments


The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with Nepal Financial Reporting Standards requires the management
to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ due to these estimates.

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:

2.4.1 Going Concern


The Directors have made an assessment of Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern and satisfied that it has
the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, the Board is not aware of any material
uncertainties that may provide significant doubt upon Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern and they do not
intend either to liquidate or to cease operations of it. Therefore, the Financial Statements continue to be prepared on
the going concern basis.

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.

2.6. Materiality and Aggregation


In compliance with Nepal Accounting Standard - NAS 01 (Presentation of Financial Statements), each material class of
similar items is presented separately in the Financial Statements. Items of dissimilar nature or functions too are presented
separately unless they are immaterial. 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. Comparative Information


The Financial Statement of the Bank provides comparative information in respect of previous periods. The accounting
policies have been consistently applied by Bank 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
or expiry of the carve out period. Further, comparative information is reclassified wherever necessary to comply with the
current presentation. The changes in comparative have been duly disclosed in 5.33 of notes.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these Financial Statements, and
deviations if any have been disclosed accordingly.

3.1. Basis of Measurement


The Financial Statements of Bank have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the following material items
in the Statement of Financial Position:
 Available for sale investments (quoted) are measured at fair value.
 Liabilities for defined benefit obligations are recognized at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the
fair value of the plan assets.
 Financial assets and financial liabilities held at amortized cost are measured using a rate that is a close approximation
of effective interest rate opting the available Carve Out pronounced by Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nepal.

3.2. Basis of consolidation

a. Business Combinations and Goodwill


Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as per the requirements of Nepal Financial
Reporting Standard - NFRS 03 (Business Combinations). The Bank measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration
transferred including the recognized amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, less the net recognized amount
(generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured as of the acquisition date.
When the excess is positive, this will result into goodwill. Nepal Rastra Bank does not allow recognition of goodwill.
Therefore, goodwill created is disclosed as charged to capital adjustment account as per Central Bank’s directive.

b. Non-controlling interest (NCI)


Non-controlling interest (NCI), also known as minority interest, is an ownership position whereby a shareholder owns less
than 50% of outstanding shares and has no control over decisions.

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.

This Subsidiary of the Bank has been incorporated in Nepal.

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.

f. Transaction elimination on consolidation


Intra group balances and transactions, any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra group transactions, are
eliminating in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized gains/losses arising from transactions with equity
accounted investees are eliminated against the investments to the extent of group interest of investee.

3.3. Cash and cash equivalent

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.

3.4. Financial Assets and financial liabilities

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.

b. Classification and Measurement


Financial Assets
All financial instruments are measured initially at their fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to
acquisition or issue of such financial instruments except in the case of such financial assets and liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss, as per the Nepal Accounting Standard - NAS 39 (Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement).
Transaction cost in relation to financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are dealt with the
Statement of Profit or Loss.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement of Financial Instruments


Classification and Subsequent Measurement of Financial Assets
At the inception, a financial asset is classified into one of the following:
a. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
i. Financial assets held for trading
ii. Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss
b. Held to Maturity Financial Assets
c. Financial Assets available for Sale
d. Loans and Receivables from Customers

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification.

Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss


A financial asset is classified as fair value through profit or loss if it is held for trading or is designated at fair value through
profit or loss.

i. Financial Assets Held for Trading


Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in
the near term or holds as a part of a portfolio that is managed together for short-term profit or position taking. This category
also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by Bank that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge
relationships as defined by Nepal Accounting Standards NAS 39 (Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement).

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.

ii. Financial Assets Designated at Fair Value through Profit or Loss


Bank designates financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in the following circumstances:
 Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise
arise from measuring the assets
 The assets are part of a group of Financial assets, financial liabilities or both, which are managed and their performance
evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy
 The asset contains one or more embedded derivatives that significantly modify the cash flows that would otherwise
have been required under the contract.

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.

Held to Maturity Financial Assets


Held to Maturity Financial Assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed
maturities which the Bank has the intention and ability to hold to maturity. After the initial measurement, held to maturity
financial investments are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate, less impairment. The
amortization is included in ‘Interest income’ in the Statement of Profit or Loss. The losses arising from impairment of such
investments are recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss.

Financial Assets Available for Sale


Available for sale financial assets include equity and debt securities. Equity Investments classified as ‘Available for Sale’ are
those which are neither classified as ‘Held for Trading’ nor ‘Held till Maturity’. Debt securities in this category are intended
to be held for an indefinite period of time and may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or in response to changes in
the market conditions.

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 Receivables from Customers


Loans and receivables include non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in
an active market, other than:
 Those that the Bank intends to sell immediately or in the near term and those that the Bank, upon initial recognition,
designates as fair value through profit or loss
 Those that the Bank, upon initial recognition, designates as available for sale
 Those for which the Bank may not recover substantially all of its initial investment through contractual cash flows, other
than because of credit deterioration.

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

Financial Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss


Financial Liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities
designated upon initial recognition as fair value through profit or loss. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities
at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss.

i. Financial Liabilities Held for Trading


Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in
the near term or holds as a part of a portfolio that is managed together for short-term profit or position taking. This category
includes derivative financial instrument entered into by Bank that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge
relationships as defined by Nepal Accounting Standard - NAS 39 (Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement).

ii. Financial Liabilities Designated at Fair Value through Profit or Loss


Bank designates financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss at following circumstances:
 Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise
arise from measuring the liabilities.
 The liabilities are part of a group of Financial assets, financial liabilities or both, which are managed and their performance
evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy
 The liability contains one or more embedded derivatives that significantly modify the cash flows that would otherwise
have been required under the contract.

Financial Liabilities at Amortized Cost


Financial instruments issued by Bank that are not classified as fair value through profit or loss are classified as financial
liabilities at amortized cost, where the substance of the contractual arrangement results in Bank having an obligation either
to deliver cash or another financial asset to another Bank, or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another
Bank under conditions that are potentially unfavorable to the Bank or settling the obligation by delivering variable number
of Bank’s own equity instruments.

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.

ii. Reclassification of ‘Available for sale’ Financial Instruments


Bank may reclassify financial assets out of available for sale category as a result of change in intention or ability or in rare
circumstances that a reliable measure of fair value is no longer available.

iii. Reclassification of ‘Held to Maturity’ Financial Instruments


As a result of a change in intention or ability, if it is no longer appropriate to classify an investment as amortized at cost,
Bank may reclassify such financial assets as at fair value through OCI and re- measured at fair value. Any difference
between the carrying value of the financial asset before reclassification and fair value is recognized in equity through other
comprehensive income.

c. De-recognition

De-recognition of Financial Assets


Bank derecognizes a financial asset (or where applicable a part of financial asset or part of a group of similar financial
assets) when:
 The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
 Bank has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or
 Bank has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-
through’ arrangement and either Bank has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset or it has neither
transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

124
www.kumaribank.com

De-recognition of Financial Liabilities


A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired. Where an
existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms or the terms of an
existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as de-recognition of the original
liability and the recognition of a new liability.

The difference between the carrying value of the original financial liability and the consideration paid is recognized in profit
or loss.

Offsetting of Financial Instruments


Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the Statement of Financial Position
when and only when Bank has a legal right to set off the recognized amounts and it intends either to settle on a net basis
or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when
permitted under NFRSs or for gains and losses arising from a group of similar transaction such as in trading activity.

Amortized Cost Measurement


The Amortized cost of a financial asset or liability is the amount at which the financial asset or liability is measured at initial
recognition, minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of
any difference between the initial amount recognized and the maturity amount, minus any reduction for impairment.

Fair Value Measurement


‘Fair value’ is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the
transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
 In the principal market for the asset or liability or
 In the absence of principal market, in the most advantageous market for asset or liability.

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.

Impairment of Financial Assets carried at Amortized Cost


For financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as amounts due from banks, held to maturity investments etc., Bank first
assesses individually whether objective evidence of impairment exists for financial assets that are individually significant
or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. In the event, Bank determines that no objective
evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, financial assets in a group with similar credit risk
characteristics are collectively assesses 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.

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.

Impairment of Financial Assets – Loans and Advances


The Bank review it’s individually significant loans and advances at each statement of financial position date to assess
whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the income statement. The bank has conducted objective evidence test
for individual impairment through different parameters like inability to meet loan agreements, substantial drop in profits/
turnover, significant adverse cash flows, significant adverse net worth situation, problematic borrower financial position,
etc. Mainly, management judgment is required in the estimation of the amount and timing of the expected future cash flows
for determination of the impairment loss.

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.

Individually Assessed Financial Assets


The criteria used to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment include and not limited to:
 Known Cash Flow difficulties experienced by the borrowers:
 Past due contractual payments of either principal or interest;
 Breach of loan covenants or conditions;
 The probability that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; and
 A significant downgrading in credit rating by an external credit rating agency.

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;

Collectively Assessed Financial Assets


Impairment is assessed on a collective basis in two circumstances:
 To cover losses which have been incurred but have not yet been identified on loans subject to individual assessment;
and
 For homogeneous groups of loans that is not considered individually significant.

Incurred but not yet identified impairment


Individually assessed financial assets for which no evidence of loss has been specifically identified on an individual basis
are grouped together according to their credit risk characteristics for the purpose of calculating an estimated collective
loss. This reflects impairment losses that the bank has incurred as a result of events occurring before the reporting date,
which the Bank is not able to identify on an individual loan basis and that can be reliably estimated.

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.

The collective impairment allowance is determined after taking into account:


 Historical Loss Experience in portfolios of similar credit risk; and
 Management’s experienced judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual
level of inherent losses at the reporting date is like to be greater or less than that suggested by historical experience.

Homogeneous groups of Financials Assets


Statistical methods are used to determine impairment losses on a collective basis for homogenous groups of financial
assets. Losses in these groups of financial assets are recorded on an individual basis when individual financial assets are
written off, at which point they are removed from the group.

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.

Write-off of Financial Assets measured at Amortized Cost


Financial assets (and the related impairment allowance accounts) are normally written off either partially or in full, when
there is no realistic prospect of recovery. Where financial assets are secured, this is generally after receipt of any proceeds
from the realization of security.

Impairment of Rescheduled Loans and Advances


Where possible, the Bank seeks to restructure loans rather than to take possession of collateral. This may involve extending
the payment arrangements and the agreement of new loan conditions. Once the terms have been renegotiated, any
impairment is measured using the original EIR as calculated before the modification of terms and the loan is no longer
considered past due. Management continually reviews renegotiated loans to ensure that all criteria are met and that future
payments are likely to occur. The loans continue to be subject to an individual impairment assessment, calculated using
the loan’s original effective interest rate (EIR).

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.

Collateral Repossessed or Where Properties Have Devolved To the Bank


Legally Repossessed Collateral represents Non-Financial Assets acquired by the Bank in settlement of the overdue loans.
The assets are initially recognized at fair value when acquired. The Bank’s policy is to determine whether a repossessed
asset is best used for its internal operations or should be sold. The proceeds are used to reduce or repay the outstanding
claim. The immovable property acquired by foreclosure of collateral from defaulting customers, or which has devolved on
the Bank as part settlement of debt, has not been occupied for business use.
These assets are shown as Legally Repossessed Collateral under “Investment Property.”

Impairment of Financial Assets – Available for Sale


For financial investments measured at fair value through OCI, Bank assesses at each reporting date whether there is
objective evidence that an investment is impaired.

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.

3.5. Trading Assets


Financial assets such as government securities, equity etc. held for short term with an intention to trade have been
classified as trading assets. Trading assets are measured at fair value with any changes in fair value being recognized in
Profit or Loss.

3.6. Derivative assets and derivative liabilities


Derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts are valued using a valuation technique with
market observable inputs. The most frequently applied valuation technique is forward pricing model which incorporates
various inputs including foreign exchange spot and forward premiums.

128
www.kumaribank.com

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.

3.7. Property and Equipment


Recognition
Property, plant and equipment are tangible items that are held for use in the production or supply of services, for rental
to others or for administrative purposes and are expected to be used during more than one period. The Bank applies the
requirements of the Nepal Accounting Standard - NAS 16 (Property, Plant and Equipment) in accounting for these assets.
Property, plant and equipment are recognized if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will
flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably measured.

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.

Capital Work in Progress


These are expenses of capital nature directly incurred in the construction of buildings, major plant and machinery and
system development, awaiting capitalization. Capital work-in-progress would be transferred to the relevant asset when it
is available for use, i.e. when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner
intended by management. Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

3.8. Intangible Assets


Recognition
An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance, held for use in the production or
supply of goods or services, for rental to others or for administrative purposes. An intangible asset is recognized if it is
probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset
can be measured reliably. An intangible asset is initially measured at cost. Expenditure incurred on an intangible item that
was initially recognized as an expense by the Bank in previous annual Financial Statements or interim Financial Statements
are not recognized as part of the cost of an intangible asset at a later date.

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.

Amortization of Intangible Assets


Intangible Assets, except for goodwill, are amortized on a straight–line basis in the Statement of Profit or Loss from the
date when the asset is available for use, over the best of its useful economic life based on a pattern in which the asset’s
economic benefits are consumed by the bank. Amortization methods, useful lives, residual values are reviewed at each
financial year end and adjusted if appropriate. The Bank assumes that there is no residual value for its intangible assets.
Asset Category For the year ended 16th July 2022 For the year ended 15th July 2021
Computer Software 5 years 5 years

De-recognition of Intangible Assets


The carrying amount of an item of intangible asset is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected from its use. The gain or loss arising on de recognition of an item of intangible assets is included in the Statement
of Profit or Loss when the item is derecognized.

130

3.9. Investment Property


Investment property is property (land or a building or part of a building or both) held (by the owner or by the lessee under a
finance lease) to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both but not for sale in the ordinary course of business.

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.

3.10. Income Tax


The Bank is subject to income tax and judgment is required to determine the total provision for current, deferred and
other taxes due to the uncertainties that exist with respect to the interpretation of the applicable tax laws, at the time of
preparation of these Financial Statements.

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.

131
22nd Annual Report 2078/79

3.11. Deposits, debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities


Deposits, debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities are the Bank’s sources of funding. Deposits include non-
interest bearing deposits, saving deposits, term deposits, call deposits and margin deposits. The estimated fair value
of deposits with no stated maturity period is the amount repayable on demand. The fair value of fixed interest bearing
deposits is considered as the interest receivable on these deposits plus carrying amount of these deposits. The fair value of
debt securities issued is also considered as the carrying amount of these debt securities issued. Sub-ordinate liabilities are
liabilities subordinated, at the event of winding up, to the claims of depositors, debt securities issued and other creditors.

3.12. Provisions, Commitments and Contingencies


A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Bank 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. The
amount recognized is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date,
taking in to account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation at that date. Where a provision is measured
using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is determined based on the present
value of those cash flows. A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by
the Bank from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision
is measured as the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost
of continuing with the contract.

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.

3.13. Revenue Recognition


Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to Bank and the revenue can be
reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized.

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.

Fee and Commission Income


Fees earned for the provision of services over a period of time are accrued over the period, which include service fees and
commission income. The bank has availed the option provided as per carve out of NFRS for transaction cost to be included
in computing effective interest rate.

Dividend Income
Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.

Net Trading Income


Net trading income comprises gains less losses relating to trading assets and liabilities, and includes all realized interest,
dividend on financial assets held for trading and foreign exchange differences as wells as unrealized changes in fair value
of trading assets and liabilities.

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.

132
www.kumaribank.com

3.14. Interest expense


For financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, interest expense is recognized using the EIR to the extent material and
practicable. EIR is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial
liabilities or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial liability.

3.15. Employee Benefits


Employee benefits include:
 Short-term employee benefits such as the following, if expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end
of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related services:
i. Wages, salaries and social security contributions;
ii. Paid annual leave and paid sick leave;
iii. Profit sharing and bonuses, and
iv. Non-monetary benefits (such as medical care, housing, cars and free or subsidized goods or services) for
current employees;

Short term employee benefits are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is
provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short term cash bonus or profit sharing
plans if the Bank has present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by
the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

 Post-employment benefits, such as the following:

i. Retirement benefits ( E.g.: pensions, lump sum payments on retirement); and


ii. Other post-employment benefits such as post-employment life insurance and post-employment medical care;

 Other long term employee benefits and


 Termination benefits

1. Post employments benefits


Defined Contribution Plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the Bank makes fixed contribution into a
separate Bank account (a fund) and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund
does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee services in the current and prior periods
as defined in Nepal Accounting Standards – NAS 19 (Employee Benefits).

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).

Defined Benefit Plans


A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. Accordingly, staff gratuity
has been considered as defined benefit plans as per 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.

Other long term employee benefits


Other long term employee benefits are all employee benefits other than short term employee benefits, post-employment
benefits and terminal benefits.

 Unutilized Accumulated Leave


Bank’s policy related to the accumulation of the leave states for accumulation of total 150 days leave (60 days annual
leave and 90 days medical leave), payable on gross salary of the staff on the date of encashment. Thus the liability
of the bank is provisioned as per the latest staff remuneration for the leave accumulated, Bank’s liability towards
the accumulated leave is treated as short term employee benefit and additional cost resulting every year from the
accumulation is charged to profit and loss account as per the definition of short term employee benefit of NAS 19.

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.

3.17. Foreign currency translation


All foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency, which is Nepalese Rupees, using the exchange
rates (i.e. mid-rate) prevailing at the dates when the transactions were affected.

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.

3.18. Financial guarantee and loan commitments


Contingent Liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will be confirmed only by uncertain future events or present
obligations where the transfer of economic benefits is not probable or cannot be reliably measured as defined in the Nepal
Accounting Standard- NAS 37 (Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets).

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.

3.19. Share capital and reserves

5. Disclosures and Additional Information


5.1. Risk Management

5.1.1.a. Risk management framework

All of the Bank’s activities involve, to varying degrees, the analysis, evaluation, acceptance and management of risks
or combinations of risks. The Bank has placed high importance to identification, assessment and well thought out
handling of all the prominent risk that it faces or likely to face in execution of its activities. The Bank is quite aware
about the risk profile of the business and is committed to establish a strong Risk Management System in the bank.
An established risk management framework ensures oversight of and accountability for the effective management
of risk at Country and regional business levels. For managing risks effectively, the Bank has an independent risk
management department to assess its position regarding each separate risk area including Credit Risk, Market
Risk, Operational Risk, Compliance & Legal Risk and Reputation Risk. The management through Risk Management
Committee (RMC) comprising 4 members, 2 of which represent BOD and one from Operating Unit and another one
from Credit Risk. Risk management is an all-round practice in the bank. Every business unit and department is well
informed about its activities and risks corresponding to those activities.

5.1.1.b. Risk appetite and tolerance limits for key types of risks

Risk appetite in the context of Kumari Bank Limited is defined as the level and nature of risk that the bank is willing
to take for pursuing its mission on behalf of its shareholders, subject to constraints imposed by other stakeholders,
such as debt holders, regulators, and customers. It provides a framework for strategic decision making for the Bank.

The Board of Directors of the bank is responsible for setting the bank’s tolerance for the risks. The Bank sets out the
aggregated level and risk types it accepts in order to achieve its business objectives in the Risk Management Policy
of the Bank. Risk strategy of the bank shall reflect the Bank’s business preferences and conduct, and shall be aligned
with its risk tolerance capacity.

The Bank’s actual performance is reported against approved risk profile and risk appetite, enabling senior
management to monitor the risk profile and guide business activity to balance risk and return. The Bank shall state
the business it wants to undertake sector wise, location wise and product wise. Accordingly, the Bank shall formulate
a risk tolerance level or risk appetite.

Following steps shall be undertaken to formulate a risk appetite statement for the Bank:
Steps Description
•Identification of all material risks.
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

5.1.1.c. Stress testing

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).

159
22nd Annual Report 2078/79

The stress testing mechanism at KBL aims to address:

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.

II. Market Shocks:


In addition to the above credit shocks, the Bank has also developed stress tests which it identifies as most adverse
based on the characteristics of its market portfolio. The interest rate risks, exchange rate risks and equity price risks
are evaluated and the results are reviewed periodically.

III. Liquidity Shocks:


Stress test scenarios are continually reviewed and updated for the liquidity risk scenarios whereby, various factors
as impact of continual withdrawals on case or collective basis on CAR and liquidity positions are stressed. Also,
concentration risks are also evaluated and the various scenarios are developed to assess the risks possessed due
to high level of deposit concentrations.

Results of stress testing


The result of stress testing is communicated to the Board of Directors and senior management on regular basis. The
same is also discussed in detail in Risk Management Committee. The report of stress testing is also shared with
Nepal Rastra Bank as per the requirement of Unified Directives issued by Nepal Rastra Bank.

Scenario analysis and Sensitivity Analysis


Scenario analysis and sensitivity analysis is conducted through the model developed by Bank Supervision
Department, Nepal Rastra Bank. However, on need basis, the Bank also adopts other techniques and develops
other scenarios on case to case basis.

5.1.2.a. Credit Risk


Credit risks are the risk associated with the probability of default of loan provided by the bank. Hence, the credit
risks comprise of the highest risk exposure of the bank. Management of the credit risks largely signifies the risk
management of the bank as whole.

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.

5.1.2.b. Credit Risk Management


The Bank has its own Credit Risk Policy and Strategy to handle the Credit Risk Management philosophy that involves
a continual measurement of probability of default/loss; identification of possible risks and mitigations. In order to
manage and eliminate the credit risk, the Bank has a practice of maintaining the best quality assets in its book. The

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.

5.1.2.c. Impairment assessment and credit risk mitigation


The Bank creates impairment allowances for impaired loans promptly and appropriately.

Impairment assessment methodology

a. Impairment of Financial Assets carried at Amortized Cost


The Bank first assesses individually whether objective evidence of impairment exists for financial assets that are
individually significant. When an account is classified as default or when the Bank no longer expect to recover the
principle or interest due on a loan in full or in accordance with the original terms and conditions, it is assessed for
impairment. If exposures are secured, the current net realizable value of the collateral will be taken into account when
assessing the need for an impairment allowance. When the net present value of the collateral is sufficiently adequate
to cover the outstanding facilities, impairment is not calculated for such cases.

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.

Impairment is assessed on a collective basis in two circumstances:


 To cover losses which have been incurred but have not yet been identified on loans subject to individual
assessment; and
 For homogeneous groups of loans those are not considered individually significant.

Incurred but not yet identified impairment


Individually assessed financial assets for which no evidence of loss has been specifically identified on an individual
basis are grouped together according to their credit risk characteristics for the purpose of calculating an estimated
collective loss. This reflects impairment losses that the bank has incurred as a result of events occurring before the
reporting date, which the Bank is not able to identify on an individual loan basis and that can be reliably estimated.
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.

The collective impairment allowance is determined after taking into account:


 Historical Loss Experience in portfolios of similar credit risk; and
 Management’s experienced judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual
level of inherent losses at the reporting date is like to be greater or less than that suggested by historical experience.

Homogeneous groups of Financials Assets


Statistical methods are used to determine impairment losses on a collective basis for homogenous groups of financial
assets. Losses in these groups of financial assets are recorded on an individual basis when individual financial assets
are written off, at which point they are removed from the group.

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).

Impairment calculation by following the methodology described in Pt. 5.1.2.c above


i) Firstly, top borrowers constituting around 25%-30% of total funded exposure of the Bank is subjected to Individual
Impairment Testing in FY 2078-79
ii) Loans and advances as filtered out following pt-(i) were tested for individual impairment including following
criteria but not limited to:
 Known Cash Flow difficulties experienced by the borrowers:
 Past due contractual payments of either principal or interest;
 Breach of loan covenants or conditions;
 The probability that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; and
 A significant downgrading in credit rating by an external credit rating agency.
 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;

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

Write off of loans and receivables


Loans (and the related impairment allowance) are normally written off, either partially or in full, when there is no
realistic prospect of recovery. Where loans are secured, this is generally after receipt of any proceeds from the
realization of security. In circumstances where the realizable value of any collateral has been determined and there is
no reasonable expectation of further recovery, write off may be earlier.

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.

Particulars Eligible CRM (Rs. 000)
Deposit with Bank & Cash margin 898,608
Deposit with Other Bank / FI -
Total 898,608

b. Impairment of Financial Assets – Held for Trading


For available for sale financial investments, Bank assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence
that an investment is impaired.

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.

5.1.3.a. Liquidity Risk


Liquidity is crucial to the ongoing viability of any financial institution. Liquidity risk is the potential for loss to a bank
arising from either its inability to meet its obligations or to fund increases in assets as they fall due without incurring
unacceptable cost or losses. Liquidity is the ability of an institution to transform its assets into cash or its equivalent
in a timely manner at a reasonable price to meet its commitments as they fall due. Liquidity risk is considered a major
risk for banks. It arises when the cushion provided by the liquid assets are not sufficient enough to meet its obligation.
In such a situation banks often meet their liquidity requirements from market. Funding through market depends upon
liquidity in the market and borrowing bank’s liquidity.
Liquidity risk is:
 Measured using maturity ladder analysis
 Monitored against the Bank’s liquidity risk management framework and overseen by Asset and Liability
Management Committee.
 Managed on a stand-alone basis with no reliance on any related party or the Nepal Rastra Bank, unless this
represents routine established business as usual market practice.

Management of liquidity risk


The board has ensured that the bank has necessary liquidity risk management framework and bank is capable of
confronting uneven liquidity scenarios. The bank has formulated liquidity risk management policy, risk management
policies which are recommended by senior management and approved by the Board of Directors. The bank utilizes
flow measures to determine its cash position. A maturity ladder analysis estimates a bank’s inflows and outflows and
thus net deficit or surplus (GAP) over a time horizon. A maturity ladder is a useful device to compare cash inflows
and outflows both on a day-to-day basis and over a series of specified time periods as presented in the NRB Ni.Fa.
No.5.1 under NRB Directives No. 5.

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.

5.1.3.b. Market Risk


Market risks are the risk of losses in on-balance sheet and off- balance sheet positions arising from adverse
movements in market prices. The major constituents of market risks are:
a) The risks pertaining to interest rate related instruments;
b) Foreign exchange risk (including gold positions) throughout the bank; and
c) The risks pertaining to investment in equities and commodities.

163
22nd Annual Report 2078/79

Management of Market Risk


The Bank has Asset Liability Management (ALM) Policy, Market Risk Management Policy, Investment Policy along
with Treasury manuals in place, which serves as a guide to address the market risk of the Bank. As for the monitoring
of market and liquidity risk, the Bank has an active Assets and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) in place
which meets regularly and takes stock of the Bank’s assets and liability position and profile of assets & liabilities,
monitors risks arising from changes in exchange rates in foreign currencies. All foreign exchange positions are
managed by financial market consisting of front office dealers with specific dealing limits and an independent back
office. The back office executes the deals made by the dealers and also monitors the liquidity position of the Bank.
For the purpose of proper check and control, the front dealing room of financial market and the back office has
different reporting line.

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.

Market Risk Assessment Methodology


Out of the various components of market risk, foreign exchange risk is the predominant risk in Nepal. Thus, a net
open position approach has been adopted to measure the operational risk exposure of the bank in aggregation and
the capital requirement in commensurate of the same as set out by Capital Adequacy Framework issued by Nepal
Rastra Bank.

5.1.3.c. Operational Risk


Operational risks are risk of loss resulting from inadequate internal processes, people and systems, or from external
events. Operational risks are highly important as it entails cent percent loss to the bank in the event of its occurrence.

Management of Operational Risk


As a part of monitoring operational risks, the Bank has devised operational manuals for various Banking functions,
which are reviewed and modified time to time as per the changing business context.

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.

Operational Risk Assessment Methodology


Operational risks are assessed employing the Basic Indicators Approach as set out by Capital Adequacy Framework
issued by Nepal Rastra Bank. The Basic Indicators Approach assesses operational risk in aggregation and is
calculated by multiplying the operational risk capital charge by 10. Bank assesses the operational risk based on the
past operational loss due to system failure, staff embezzlement and other external factors which is considered at the
time of calculation of economic capital.

5.1.4.a. Fair value of financial assets and liabilities


Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement. For some assets and liabilities,
observable market transactions or market information might be available. For other assets and liabilities, observable
market transactions and market information might not be available. However, the objective of a fair value measurement
in both cases is the same – to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liability
would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e. an exit
price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability).

Fair values are determined according to the following hierarchy:

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.

5.2. Capital Management

i. Qualitative disclosures
Capital management approach is driven by its desire to maintain a strong capital base to support the development of its
business and to meet the regulatory capital requirements.
Capital planning and management is essential to ensure adequate level of capital is available at all times. In order to
be prepared for distressed economic environments, capital management plan of the Bank incorporate various potential
scenarios and is responsive to changes in the economy, market, competitive or political landscape, or other external
factors.

Following elements are taken into consideration while devising an effective capital management plan for the Bank:
 Minimum capital requirements as per NRB
 Business growth prospects and risks
 Potential capital raising instruments such as equity, preference stocks, bonds etc
 Various stress scenarios

 Internal approach of the Bank to assess capital adequacy

In order to be prepared for distressed economic environments, the Bank assesses the adequacy of its capital by
incorporating various potential scenarios and being responsive to changes in the economy, market, competitive or
political landscape, or other external factors.

Banks are faced with the challenge of developing internal procedures and systems in order to ensure that
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:
• Minimum capital requirements as per NRB
• Business growth prospects and risks
• Potential capital raising instruments such as equity, preference stocks, bonds etc
• Various stress scenarios
• Others as considered necessary by the senior management

Impairment Loss on Loan and Advances)
b) Carve-Out: 2 - NFRS 9: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (Impracticability to determine transaction
cost of all previous years which is the part of effective interest rate); one year extended for implementation.

174
www.kumaribank.com

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:
Amount (Rs.)
Particulars 2076/77 2077/78 2078/79
Short-term employee benefits 7,864.00 4,325.00 16,808
Employee Bonus 3,992.00 - 4,269
Voluntary retirement payment 18,359.00 - -
Post employee benefits 3143.00 - -
Festival Allowances and payment against annual leave 1,928.00 358.00 2,469
Other Allowances 1,212.00 290.00 -
Total 36,498.00 4,973.00 23,546

As, Loan loss provision as per norms prescribed by Nepal Rastra Bank is higher, impairment loss on loans and
advances is made accordingly.

The Bank has classified total loan loss provision mentioned above into 2 categories viz. Individual Impairment and
Collective Impairment. The Bank has classified general loan loss provision as Collective Impairment and specific loan
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.

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:

The Financial Statements of Entity are presented in Nepalese Rupees (Rs), which is the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the Entity operates. Financial information is presented in Nepalese Rupees. There was no change in
Entity’s presentation and functional currency during the year under review.

2.4 Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions


The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with Nepal Accounting Standards requires the management to make
judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
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. Disclosures of the accounting estimates
have been included in the relevant section of the notes wherever the estimates have been applied along with the nature
and effect of changes of accounting estimates, if any.
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:

2.4.1 Going Concern


The Directors have made an assessment of Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and satisfied that it has
the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, Board is not aware of any material
uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and they do not
intend either to liquidate or to cease operations of it. Therefore, the Financial Statements continue to be prepared on
the going concern basis.

2.4.2 Useful lives of Property Plant & Equipment


Useful life is the period over which an asset is expected to be available for use by an Entity. Various factors may limit
the useful life of a vessel. These factors may be due to physical wear and tear, technological advancement, economic
factors and legal factors. The entity asses the remaining useful lives of its Property Plant & Equipment at each
reporting date. An assessment is made to determine whether there is any indication of impairment in each asset.

2.5 Presentation of Financial Statements


The assets and liabilities of entity presented in the Statement of Financial Position are grouped in an order of liquidity. An
analysis on recovery or settlement within 12 months after the reporting date (current) and more than 12 months after the
reporting date (non-current) is presented in the Note.

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.

2.6 Materiality & Aggregation


In compliance with Nepal Accounting Standard - NAS 01 Presentation of Financial Statements, each material class of
similar items is presented separately in the Financial Statements. Items of dissimilar nature or functions too are presented
separately unless they are immaterial.

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.

2.8 Comparative Information


The comparative information is re-classified wherever necessary to conform with the current year’s classification in order to
provide a better presentation. The details of such re-classifications have been provided in Notes to the financial statements.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


3.1 Basis of Measurement
These are prepared under accrual basis of accounting in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for certain
items as follows:
a. Investment in equity instruments and units of mutual fund are measured at fair value.
b. Liability for defined benefit obligations is recognised at present value of the defined benefit obligation as determined
by actuary.

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 Revenue Recognition


Revenue is recognized on accrual basis and is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net
of sales returns, trade discounts and revenue related taxes. The management of the Company determines the amount of
revenue based on the applicable service agreement. Fees and commission arising from transactions are recognized on
basis of completion of underlying transaction. Accounting policies, estimates and judgments used by management for
each item of revenue is detailed below:

3.2.1 Issue Management Fees


The issue management fee is recognized when the related service as specified in the agreement is performed. The
management also considers the degree of recoverability and probability that the economic benefit will flow into the
company.

3.2.2 ASBA Fee and Other Collection Commission


The ASBA fee and other collection commission is recognized as revenue after the allotment is completed.

3.2.3 Underwriting Fee


The issue management fee is recognized when the related service as specified in the agreement is performed. The
management also considers the degree of recoverability, non-refundability and probability that the economic benefit
will flow into the company.

3.2.4 RTS/RTS Fee


The Registrar to Shares (RTS) fee is recognized as income on an accrual basis over the period covered by the related
agreement.

3.2.5 Depository Participant (DP) Fee


The income related to DP service is recognized on cash basis. This is because of the high uncertainty on recoverability
of DP income. The management estimates that the income when recognized on cash basis shall provide reliable and
more relevant information about the effects of transactions, and conditions of financial performance of the company.

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.

3.2.7 Dividend Income


Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on an accrual basis when the Entity’s right to receive the dividend is
established.

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.

3.2.8 Interest Income


Interest income are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest rate. The “effective interest rate” is the rate
that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or financial
liability (or, where appropriate, a shorter period) to the carrying amount of the financial asset. When calculating the
effective interest rate, the Company estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial
instrument, but not future credit losses.
The calculation of the effective interest rate includes transaction costs and fees and points paid or received that are
an integral part of the effective interest rate. Transaction costs include incremental costs that are directly attributable
to the acquisition or issue of a financial asset.
Interest income on all trading assets are considered to be incidental to the Entity’s trading operations and are
presented together with all other changes in the fair value of trading assets in net trading income.

3.2.9 Gain on Disposal and Fair valuation of FVTPL Financial Instruments


Gain on disposal of “FVTPL Financial Investments” comprises realized trading gains on disposal of government
securities, quoted shares and listed debentures, are presented in statement of profit and loss as net gain/(loss) from
financial investments.
Fair valuation changes on “FVTPL Financial Investments” comprises unrealized gains on fair valuation (marked
to market valuation) of government securities, quoted shares, investment in unit trust and listed debentures, are
presented in profit or loss as Net Unrealized gain/(Loss) on Financial Assets held at fair value in the statement of
profit or loss.

3.2.10 Other Income


Other incomes are recognized when it is probable that consideration associated with the transaction will flow to the
company and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

204

3.3 Interest Expenses


The interest expense on financial liabilities measured at amortized cost is recognized using the effective interest
rate. The “effective interest rate” is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments through the
expected life of the financial asset or financial liability (or, where appropriate, a shorter period) to the carrying amount
of the financial liability.

3.4 Income Tax


Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it
relates to items recognized directly in equity or in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).
Current tax assets and liabilities and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only to the extent that they relate to
income taxes imposed by the same taxation authority, there is a legal right and intentions to settle on a net basis and
it is allowed under the tax law of the relevant jurisdiction.

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.

3.5 Foreign Currency Transactions


Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currency of Entity at the spot exchange
rates at the date of the transactions.

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.

3.6 Financial Instrument


Recognition
The company initially recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability in its statement of financial position when, and
only when, it becomes party to the contractual provisions of an instrument. The company initially recognizes loans
and advances, deposits and debt securities/subordinated liabilities issued on the date that they are originated which
is the date that the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. The investments in
equity instruments, units of mutual funds, bonds, debenture, government securities and NRB bond are recognized
on trade date at which the company commits to purchase/acquire the financial assets. Regular purchase and sale of
financial assets are recognized on trade date.

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:

a.Financial assets recognized at amortized cost


The company classifies a financial asset measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:
i. The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash
flows and;
ii. The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

b.Financial assets recognized at fair value


Financial assets other than those measured at amortized cost are measured at fair value. Financial assets measured
at fair value are further classified into two categories as below:
i. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets 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 profit or loss as incurred. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value and changes in fair value are
recognized in statement of profit or loss.
ii. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
Investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading and at the initial recognition, the company makes
an irrevocable election that the subsequent changes in fair value of the instrument is to be recognized in other
comprehensive income are classified as FVTOCI. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value and
changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.

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.

b. De-recognition of Financial Liabilities


A financial liability is derecognized when, and only when it is extinguished (i.e. when the obligation specified in
contract is discharged, cancelled or expired). If the liability is renegotiated with the original lender on substantially
different contractual terms, the original liability is derecognized and new liability is recognized.

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.

Determination of Fair Value


“Fair value” is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or, in its absence, the most
advantageous market to which the company has access at that date.

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

The fair value measurement hierarchy is as follows:


Level 1: These are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company can access
at the measurement date. For the majority of its investments, the company relies on information provided by
independent pricing services for the valuation of its investments.

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.

Level 3: These are unobservable inputs for the assets 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.

a. Impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost


Impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost is based on the judgments of past experience of the
assets’ behavior. In assessing collective impairment, the company uses historical trends of the probability of
default, the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgment as to
whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less
than suggested by historical trends. Further, management has taken additional external risk (inflation, market risk
and risk of data incompleteness) for the impairment of loans and advances.

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.

3.7 Derivative assets and derivative liabilities


The company does not have any derivative assets and liabilities.

3.8 Trade and Other Payables


Amounts payable to creditors, TDS Payable, amounts refundable to investors, RTS and custodial dividend payable,
Advance received/ transfer from DP clients are categorized as trade and other payables.

3.9 Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term investments in an
active market with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts.

3.10 Property, Plant and Equipment


Property, plant and equipment are tangible items that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or
for administrative purposes and are expected to be used during more than one period.

Recognition and Measurement


Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment losses.

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.

3.11 Intangible Assets


Software
Software acquired by the Company is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment
losses.

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.

3.12 Assets held for sale and discontinued operations


Non-current assets (such as property) and disposal groups (including both the assets and liabilities of the disposal groups)
are classified as held for sale and measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell when:
i. their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through sale;
ii. they are available-for-sale in their present condition; and
iii. their sale is highly probable.

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.

3.14 Commitments & Contingencies


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.

22nd Annual Report 2078/79

3.15 Employee Benefits


Short-term Employee Benefit
Short-term employee benefits are those expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual
reporting period during which employee services are rendered, but do not include termination benefits. Salaries, leave
benefits, bonus to be paid under Bonus Act, 2030 and non-monetary benefits paid to current employees.
The undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in an accounting
period is recognized in that period. The expected cost of short-term compensated absences is recognized as the employees
render service that increases their entitlement or, in the case of non-accumulating absences, when the absences occur,
and includes any additional amounts an entity expects to pay as a result of unused entitlements at the end of the period.

Defined Contribution Plan


A defined contribution plan is a post-employment plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate
entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay a further amount. Obligations for contributions to defined

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, interest rate, foreign exchange rate will affect the company’s income or
the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market
risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return on risk.

223
22nd Annual Report 2078/79

B. Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to
the company. The company manages the credit quality of financial assets using internal credit ratings. The company’s
exposure and the credit rating of its counterparties are continuously monitored.

C. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Entity will not have adequate financial resources to meet Entity's obligations as when the fall
due. This risk arises from mismatches in the timing of cash flows. The management of liquidity risk includes taking steps to
ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have adequate financial resources to meet its liabilities when due, under both
normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the company’s reputation.

D. Operational Risk
Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss arising from a wide variety of causes associated with the Entity’s
involvement with financial instruments, including processes, personnel, technology and infrastructure, and from external
factors other than credit, market and liquidity risks such as those arising from legal and regulatory requirements and
generally accepted standards of corporate behavior. The company’s objective is to manage operational risk so as to
balance the avoidance of financial losses and damage to the business reputation with overall cost effectiveness and
to avoid control procedures that restrict initiative and creativity. The compliance with company’s internal controls and
procedures is supported by a program of periodic reviews undertaken by internal audit. The results of internal audit reviews
are discussed with the management of the business units with summaries submitted to the Audit Committee.

3.5 Income tax
Tax expenses comprises of current tax and deferred tax and are recognised in profit and loss except to the extent that

or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax
payable also includes any tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends.

B. Deferred Tax
Deferred income tax is provided in full on all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
their carrying values for financial reporting purposes. However, if the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition
of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither
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.
