Respected shareholders,On the auspicious occasion of Tenth Annual General Meeting, I would like to express warm welcome to all the respected promoters and shareholders of this reputed institution from the entire mega family.Due to the hazardous impact of covid-19 pandemic, we have to forcefully organize and conduct meetings through electronic media. Despite of the fact that we were unable to conduct meetings through physical presence of all the members, I feel glad in a sense that we got the valuable opportunity to get connected with each other through the optimum use of emerging technologies.

Impact of covid-19Even though, the first 8 months of review period was in good condition in terms of Nepalese economy, the remaining period was devastating. You all are well familiar with the harshening and degrading economic conditions of Nepal as well as the entire world due to the tremendous and rocket speeding spread of Covid-19. The pandemic exerted the adverse effect on the entire industrial and business sector. The banking sector was also directly influenced. As the developed economy of the world are facing complexities in facing a war with covid-19, Nepal is no exception to it. As a result, the current financial year will also be directly influenced by the Covid-19.

MEGA BANK NEPAL LIMITED

Chairman’s Speech



The role of remittance in the Nepalese economy is fundamental. The fund generated through remittance has been contributing to deposit mobilization, loan disbursement, and foreign currency management & commission income in banking sector. As the job loss seems to have been practiced largely in the global markets, and we expect decreasing inflow of remittance in future which would have profound impact on Nepalese economy. As various sectors of the economy such as export, import, construction, transportation, education has been influenced by Covid-19, it has negatively impacted income from foreign currency transaction, and fees income from non-funded services like letter of credit and bank guarantees.

Human resourceDespite the risk and fear of Covid-19 transmission, employees of Mega Bank were dedicated towards rendering quality customer services. I would like to thank all of them from the bottom of my heart. I am grateful to the dedication shown by Bank’s employees towards fulfillment of their roles and responsibilities by working in alternate working days and as per the security measures prescribed by regulatory authority. Thus, we consider our staffs not as resources but as assets for the organization. For the overall development and skill of employee, I want to memorize you that we have established Mega Learning & Development Center and have conducted various trainings and seminars.

Future StrategiesIn order to uplift the economic condition of the nation, we are providing the various rebates and facilities directed by regulatory authority, flowing subsidized loans, rescheduling and restructuring of the loans and installment, exempting penal amount and providing rebates in interest amount from the Bank’s side. Where the banking services which directly affects the daily life of the people, are categorized as basic services by Nepal Government, Mega Bank, under various additional policies and direction of government and regulatory authority, will carry on its day to day banking operation more efficiently and effectively making it more strong and stable.

Information TechnologyIn order to lessen the effect of COVID-19 through social distancing and securing financial transactions, cash transactions are discouraged and emphasis has been provided to Digital platform for performing banking transactions. At the time of pandemic, most of the banking transactions have been performed through the use of Digital platform, thus, we consider it as the opportunity created by COVID-19 pandemic. To tackle the challenges created by COVID-19, the Bank has also established Digital Product Department. We have also formed and implemented high level Digital Transformation Steering Committee. We have launched the system wherein the Customer can open their account conveniently and safely at home through the use of Video Account Opening System developed by the Bank.

Risk Management and AchievementThe Bank has been more cautious on operational risk exposed to when regular banking operation were conducted during the country lockdown because of COVID-19 pandemic, as Bank has continued its day to day operation through rotation and alternation of staffs, working from home with the use of digital platform, emphasis put on digital transaction and so on. Due to excessive liquidity in the market, interest rate on deposits and interest rate on loans has been decreasing as a result of which base rate has also been decreasing which has resulted tough competition in interest rate in the market. Decreasing interest rate on loans has acted as ointment for various business institution but on the other hand has also increased interest rate risk in banking system. From Ashad 2077, the regulatory authority has directed banks to reduce the differential average interest rate to 4.4 percent. This ensures the profound effect on the bank’s profit. The bank has been performing analysis regarding various internal and external activities related to risks.

International AwardsBank has increased investment by prioritizing the micro, small, cottage and medium industries as per its objectives. Considering the initiatives taken by the Bank, the Bank has been awarded with awards on two different discipline, Best bank for micro-finance and Best Bank for SMEs from International Journal “The Asiamoney Publication”. Adding another milestone in our journey, we have been awarded with the prestigious “BANK OF THE YEAR 2019” award from UK based reputed Financial Publication through publication in famous magazine “The Banker”.

Merger and Network ExpansionIn order to boost the corporate objectives of establishing as a leading bank in terms of capital and business volumes, the Bank by using the authority provided by its eighth Annual General Meeting, had signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on 25th September 2019 with national level “B” class licensed institution “Gandaki Bikas Bank Limited”, head office situated at Pokhara Metropolitan city of Gandaki Province for its due acquisition. After receiving final approval from Nepal Rastra Bank, both Banks commenced their joint transactions effective from 4th July 2020 (21st Ashad 2077). After acquisition of Gandaki Bikas Bank Limited, the Bank has been leading strong institution in Gandaki Province and its position in Kathmandu Valley including Bagmati Province and Lumbini Province has be strengthen. In addition, the branch network of the Bank all over Nepal has been extended to 206 in numbers. After acquisition, the branches of the Bank has been extended to 58 districts from previous 51 districts. In the review period, the Bank has increased its volume (deposits and loans) by around 60 percent establishing itself amongst top 11 commercial banks that existed now in terms of business volume. In recent times, with continuous practices of mergers and acquisitions, voice has been raised for the need of big mergers. Thus, I assure that we have developed strategic foundation for prioritizing such initiation. I assume that mergers and acquisitions materialized until now have given us that experiences and knowledge as well. Current year, we are planning to adjust appropriately the duplicating branches occurred in same place due to acquisition of erstwhile Gandaki Bikas Bank Limited after which the activities for further branch expansion will get a pace.

Land Purchase and BuildingThe provincial building constructed in its own land situated in Butwal has been completed and is in use. Also, the Bank is inquisitive for appropriate land or building for its central office.

Corporate Social ResponsibilityWith an effort to ensure bright future of girl children, Mega Bank has started a campaign named as “Education is Enlightenment” where each branch has provided financial support and education materials to one girl student from economically deprived family from the previous year. Through this program, the Bank supports these selected girl children from Grade 1 to Grade 12. In continuation of that program and expanding the support, the Bank has provided support for 2 girl students from each branch effective from session commencing for 2077. In the panic situation of Covid-19 in the review period, the Bank provided financial support of Rs. 10 million to the fund established by Central Government and Rs. 5 hundred thousand each to the funds established by all State Governments, total funding being Rs. 13.5 million (Including contribution from staffs and member of Board of Director). We believe that these types of social activities are building positive perception among people towards the Bank.

At last, on behalf of Board of Directors and myself, I want to present heartfelt thanks to the promoters, shareholders, customers, Nepal Rastra Bank, Nepal Government, Securities Board Nepal, Nepal Stock Exchange Limited, Company Registrar’s Office, CDS and Clearing Limited and other regulators, Chief Executive Officer Mrs. Anupama Khunjeli her management team, Senior Deputy General Manager cum Company Secretary Mr. Tulsi Ram Pokharel, staffs, media and all those who directly or indirectly have contributed in business growth and development of the Bank.

2020 - A year to remember!

10 years is a milestone. It is an occasion to celebrate, an opportunity to momentarily look back and also a golden ticket to chart the path forward. With the completion of a decade long journey, this year it was marred by the unsurprising event CORORNA VIRUS.

With the worldwide spread of the virus, Nepal was affected equally with an uncertainty of business, jobs and even our life. This toughest period taught us to combat together; since the initial state of COVID-19 crisis, Mega Bank Nepal Limited (MBNL) have put its Customers at its ‘First Priority’ above and beyond all the scenario.

Yet, despite the odd stumbling blocks along the way - we have completed a decade - together, supportive, encouraging and enduring like a family. We, ‘Mega Bank’ not only saw the drawbacks of crisis but we took it as an opportunity to respond and give best facilities as possible to our Customers and communities equally.

Being one of the standing milestones of the economy, Bank has taken some corporate and non-corporate stand to help customers who were impacted by the coronavirus by deferring payments on their mortgages, personal loans, auto loans, and business loans which in-turn helped to realize that Bank act an important financial shock absorber for individuals, households, small businesses, and corporations by providing important liquidity when it is needed most and we ‘Mega Bank’ were able to stand by our customers going forward.

To our customers I would like to say: Thank you for your patience and enormous belief towards our Bank. We do not take it for granted.

Paradigm Shift of Business: The acquisition of erstwhile Gandaki Bikas Bank Limited with the huge increase on customer base in a considerable way is like paradigm Shift over our business module. The acquisition of Gandaki Bikas Bank Limited is a step forward for continuous growth, the cooperation of the Board of director and their tireless efforts in making our Bank function smoothly in such a contingent situation in the right direction is acknowledgeable.

Technology is the future!Technology has been creating a revolution in the world. Digitalization in banking does not only mean online

banking, internet banking, mobile banking or paperless banking rather it is the application of new technologies to transform the existing banking business model into a new banking business model.

A model which will itself produce new customer base, unveil new financial services, ensure faster and seamless services to clients with reduced operational cost, zero error, ease of use and apparently, maximum security. Therefore, it’s not only a new channel; rather it’s a whole new way of transforming existing transaction-based banking into the experience-based banking.

So that, banking can be accessed by customers anytime and from anywhere. Keeping this in mind, we have set up a MIS department where we gather the innovative ideas and put those ideas into the real time execution.

Being in the service industry, we are always looking forward to provide our customers the top most service.

In the coming years, our vision is to create the value creation to our customers where they can tap from anywhere in Nepal and get the desired service from our Bank without being able to visit any branch.

For example; we have introduced the account opening through video call which rightly gives path to our vision. Similarly, our internal control mechanism has been strengthen on year to year basis and ever improving towards mitigating and minimizing various risks. The Bank is committed to adopt and implement good governance system and has included corporate culture and ethics in its core values for its sustainable growth.

I would like to thank all of our stakeholders including our customers for their continued support and confidence they have put in the Bank. I would also like to express my appreciation to our dedicated Board of Directors, Management and Staffs for their invaluable contribution and hard work which brought the Bank at today’s position.

Not to forget, I am very grateful to Nepal Rastra Bank and other regulating bodies for their continuous guidance, framework and support.

Chief Executive OfficerAnupama Khunjeli

6. Business Model and Strategy

a. The Future of Banking The three areas i.e. intangibility of the Bank’s service,

customer integration and heterogeneity in quality of service (caused by different individuals serving differently) will continue to pose opportunities and challenges for the Bank towards in future. In addition, the growing technologies and its dynamism is posing different challenges in pursuing the business model and our banking landscape.

To be successful and for sustainable banking, the

Bank of the future will need to embrace emerging technology, remain flexible to adopt evolving business models, and put customers at the center of every strategy. The future of banking will look very different from today. Faced with changing consumer expectations, emerging technologies, and new business models, banks will need to start putting strategies in place now to help them prepare for banking in future. As per Deloitte, the Bank needs to explore following eight key trends that are changing the banking landscape in future:

Enterprise Agility: The accelerated pace of technology innovation is

giving rise to new business model at an even faster speed. Today, competitive advantage doesn’t come from being big, but from being fast and nimble in adhering to latest technology.

Future of Work:

Banks are embracing new technologies and investing heavily in digital transformation initiatives in a ways to change the future work and workforce. Automation and artificial intelligence are replacing human thinking and urging Banks to revisit their talent landscape and knowledge management process.

Leveraging Platforms and monetizing data: Banks Today must offer customers the desirable

service in a way they want to receive it. Bank must use data to optimize their products and services to decide how they want to utilize platforms and the data, in order to grow.

Orchestrating across the ecosystem: The financial services ecosystem is growing.

Regulators, fintechs, banks, businesses and all others need to work together. The importance of deliberate ecosystem strategy and the effective orchestration will be vital in a days to come.

Cyber Risk and Financial Crime: The financial crime ecosystem is evolving as

criminals are adopting new and innovative ways

to commit crime. The Bank needs to embrace advanced technologies such as analytics and artificial intelligence to improve threat visibility and detect fraud effectively.

Data Integrity and Analytics: Data is power and it is plentiful in current context but

is not easily accessible, clean enough or integrated. Integrity of data will have profound impact over business intelligence.

Digital and Emerging Technologies: New technologies are drastically changing the

banking industry and financial markets. Artificial Intelligence and automation are proving to be valuable in ways we never thought possible. Blockchain and cloud computing are changing the industry outside Nepal and has implications as companies are trying to understand these technologies.

Embracing and becoming Digital:

Technology will continue to be the driver of the business growth and central to delivering a wide range of services through strong customer experiences. For Banks, it can be a vital to succeed through digital business model in a changing business environment.

Digitization, meanwhile, is driving down costs and causing commoditization. Intangibles enable a business to differentiate from its competitors. They are already the main drivers of the value that a business can create. The quality of its decision making enables a business to adapt more swiftly than its competitors to the opportunities and threats presented by the digital age and the developments in its markets. It is also the key intangible that unlocks the potential to develop other intangibles within the business, such as its competitive position, its brand’s reputation, the qualities of its people, its intellectual capital and how well it implements its decisions.

Customers are also changing the way they buy financial services. That means we can’t afford to sit on the sidelines when it comes to our digital capabilities. In order to enhance our digital capabilities, we have already established digital banking department.

Till Today, the Bank has already started various digital services like Smart Banking, Internet Banking, Online Account Opening and QR merchant payment system for our digital-savvy customer through which customer can perform both financial and non-financial transactions. Further to this, Bank is also launching Online Loan & Credit Card eligibility



module, Missed Call Based Banking Services & Chabot to electrify the consumers’ experiences.

Digital Banking Department’s preliminary focus is on the digital transformation of the Bank through research & design of digital products by analyzing the value proposition. Moreover, Digital Banking Department is also doing rigorous study of current business processes and automating the processes to enhance the efficiency as well as easing the control functions.

Banking is getting branch-less, contemporary and digital at a very fast pace. As Banks compete to gain competitive advantage, the need for managing big data and data analytics becomes more relevant. Data Analytics has transformed the way traditional banks worked in the past and has been very helpful

in informed decision-making. Banks are using predictive analytics software for studying customer behavior, fraud analysis, data processing and validation, use analytics to manage credit lines and collections.

Through associated data analytics tools, the Bank is trying to gain greater visibility into customers’ behaviors, assess the probability of risk and help small businesses. MIS & Automation unit of the Bank is combining various data sources like Core Banking Data & Transactional Data including other various alternate channels and analyzing those data to generate analytical MIS which is helping all the level of management for the effective decision making purpose.

“Bank’s Mission is to serve the entire Economic Pyramid by enhancing inclusiveness amongst all strata of Nepalese Society while providing complete financial solutions.

d. Management of Assets (Capital) The Bank holds valuable assets for the development

of its business model. The strategy defined by the Bank transforms these assets (capital) to create value for all its Stakeholders. Generally there are six different types of assets (capital) that company deploys to create value viz. Financial, Manufactured, Intellectual, Human, Social & Relationship and Natural. For the Bank, being wholly a service industry and investment concentrated over financial assets, manufactured capital is not much significant and natural assets deployment are not direct therefore not much material. However, Bank uses other major four types of assets in creating value for its stakeholders.

e. Value Chain

Value Creation Value activities are the means by which a firm

creates value in its products and services.

Porter (in Competitive Advantage) grouped the various activities of an organization into a value chain. He has distinguished activities as primary activities and support activities. The excess the customer is prepared to pay over the cost to the Bank of obtaining resource inputs and providing value activities is the profit margin. It represents the value created by the value activities themselves and by the management of the linkages between them.

The activities of the Bank can be linked over to the Porter’s Value Chain Model as Business Functions (i.e. primary activities) like Deposit Business, Credit Business, Remittance, Global Business, Cards & Alternate Channel, etc. and Support Functions (i.e. support activities) like Finance & Planning, Credit Administration, Information Technology, Human Resource Management, etc.

In addition to primary and support activities, other few functions are streamlined with their operational strategy in order to have control and overlook into actions of both primary and support functions known as Control Functions like Internal Audit, Compliance, Risk, etc.

The Bank’s value creation process of the Bank is driven by transforming capital inputs. These inputs include the skills and entrepreneurship of the people within our organisation and money from shareholders, debt holders and customers, via our core products and services.

Bank transforms these inputs into value outputs so that they make a valuable contribution to the development of an environment around us.



Capital Input for Value Creation Value Created

Financial Capital:Bank uses capital effectively so as to maximize the value to be created. Our dynamically managed and deposit driven funding modality together with well diversified deposit mix and opportunistic utilization of alternative funding drives our disciplined, sustainable and financial growth. With a 6 times growth of paid up equity capital since 2010, challenges lies in sustaining business growth in order to cope with growing equity capital. Thus, it is our goal to constantly improve our business model and processes with an operational and environmental efficiency point of view and seek cost and revenue synergies in creating value to the providers of financial capital.

We contribute to the economy and the society by paying dividends to our shareholders, salaries to our employees, invoices to our suppliers and tax revenues to governments.

Return on Assets 1.64%

Capital Adequacy Ratio 13.241%

We make a significant contribution to public finances not only through our own tax payments, but also, through third party tax collection (TDS) due to our economic activity.

f. Strategic Foundations for Future Challenges and opportunities

In order to operate more as a vibrant Bank, we need to deliver more positive impact for the individuals and communities we serve, building on our unique experience as sustainable bank. By doing so, we will improve our service to sustainable enterprises, improve efficiency and we aim to maintain a stable net profit.

Bank wants to act beyond its immediate boundaries. We will develop new strategic partnerships. To become less dependent on interest income, we will focus on growing our fee based income, mainly through the expansion of our ancillary services and use of latest available technologies. We anticipate continuing upward pressure on our cost base due to ongoing regulatory requirements. We recognize that these obligations that come with the license to operate a bank, are important. In particular the increased responsibility of banks for customer due diligence and transaction monitoring require attention and investment, to both comply and stay fully update with new developments.

Likewise Bank faces a serious challenge with unstable interest rates and increasing regulatory costs. And yet, the opportunities for Mega Bank as a frontrunner in responsible finance is significant. With a controlled growth strategy, generating maximum impact and a stable profit, we expect a healthy development in years to come.



The assumption over the major challenges in banking sector are :- present context

Area Challenges What we do

Consumer expectations

These day, consumer expectation is a major challenge that modern banking are facing. Bank feels the pressure to deliver the quality services in banking today due to growing expectations of customers because of evolving disruptive technologies.

The Bank is well versed in meeting to the expectations of customers. With the use of latest technologies like master cards, visa cards, QR scan to pay system, mobile banking and online banking; the Bank is able to cater its customers’ expectation.

Increasing Competition

The challenges regarding modern banking world is increasing competition between the banks. Different Financial Institutions like commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, FinTech, and even cooperatives to some extent all are competing for the banking customers. The Banks in Nepal are also facing challenges because of increasing operating cost caused by increase in volume, development in technologies and business complexities.

In order to cope with increasing competition, Mega Bank has set strategic direction of inorganic growth. Until now, the Bank has merged two development banks and is in plan to acquire more BFIs for its network enhancement, business expansion and bring economies of scale in its operations. The Bank has strategic partnership with various organizations involving in alternative banking channels and FinTech products and services like eSewa.

Cyber-SecurityCyber-crime is invincible challenge as so it is

Cyber-attacks are increasingly seen as a top concern issue for bankers in Nepal. The banking sector is the most targeted area by hackers and fraudsters. In modern banking world, Fraud detection and security issues are a big and costly headache for the banking industry. Customers are relying more on electronic banking for their financial solutions. They use online banking, web portals, mobile applications and other platform for banking transactions which provide convenience and enhancing the customer experience but on the other hand they pose a unique risks in terms of cyber security.

Bank makes sure that all servers and workstations are continually updated. Bank has prepared business continuity plans and also conducts Information System Audit in order to identify potential risks associated with networking and internet of things. Bank protects physical unauthorized access and also logical unauthorized access. Bank also determines the physical or logical access on our any system by our vendors, if it is so Bank reviews the rights to do so and its acceptability in terms of business alignment. Bank also implement security awareness and training programs for its employees on regular basis.

Rapid technological advancement

Banking sector is interlinked with technology. The banking sector is dependent on technology for launching new products, digitizing and data protection or providing facilities to its customers but such dependability comes with opportunities and threat. The requirement of continuous update in technology in the banking sector urges for investment in technology and larger capital investment costs.

Bank is pioneer in adopting latest technologies and platform for information technologies. It well understands the importance of technologies in creating competitive advantages for Bank’s strategic initiatives and operation.

Compliance Bankers recognize the need for tougher controls, concerns were raised about the volume and complexity of current regulation which were stated to consume industry margins and management time. However, regulation continues to be a concern for banks who must invest a sizable amount of time, money, and effort into meeting compliance standards. These regulatory challenges are continued to increase by the central bank, so today the need of Bank is to constantly evaluate and improve their operations in order to meet up the regulatory requirements and keep up with the fast pace of change in the banking and financial industry.

Compliance of regulatory requirements is of primary concern to the Bank at all times. Mega Bank always seek public confidence and efficiencies in operation through its commitment to adherence to corporate governance, work ethics and compliance of applicable laws. Tracking, analyzing and monitoring of money laundering activities and fraudulent transactions will be the major challenges and big threat in compliance aspects in days to come in which Mega Bank fits well in developing its platform to cope with the emerging challenges.

Earnings and Dividend TrendDuring past years, the Bank has distributed on an average 85% of its earnings as dividend. Both earnings and distribution of the Bank are in increasing trend over the last 7 years’ period. The Bank’s earnings and dividend trend over the past few years back can be seen in following graph:



The amount of earnings and amount of dividends are consistently growing over the last few years. However, due to inorganic capital injection through right issue, bonus issue and merger in order to meet regulatory compliance imposed capital and also transition phase to NFRS bases financial reporting; the Bank’s dividend payment rate over its paid up equity capital seems fluctuating over the past few years.

Human Capital People’s competencies, capabilities and experience, and their motivations to innovate, including their:

Alignment with and support of an organisation’s governance framework, risk management approach, and ethical values

Ability to understand, develop and implement an organisation’s strategy

Loyalties and motivations for improving processes, goods and services, including their ability to lead, manage and collaborate.

It is the human capital that creates value through mobillity various other forms of capitals. Human capital is seen to be complementary with other intangible capitals such as intellectual capital and social and relationship capital. As intangible assets seldom affect financial performance directly but instead work through complex chains of cause and effect, human capital is dependent on other forms of capital to be fully realized.

Intellectual capitalOrganisational, knowledge-based intangibles, including:

Intellectual property, such as patents, copyrights, software, rights, and licenses

“Organisational capital” such as tacit knowledge, systems, procedures and protocols

Intangibles associated with the brand and reputation that an organisation has developed.

There is a relatively common definition of intellectual capital that identifies it as having three components:

Human capital (individual person)

Organizational, or structural, capital (including the processes, procedures and shared tacit knowledge developed within an organization i.e. intellectual capital)

Relational capital (intra/extra-organizational networks)

Social and relationship capitalThe institutions and the relationships within and between communities, groups of stakeholders and other networks, and the ability to share information to enhance individual and collective well-being.Social and relationship capital includes:

Shared norms, common values and behaviour

Key stakeholder relationships, and the trust and willingness to engage that an organisation has developed and strives to build and protect with customers, suppliers, business partners, and other external stakeholders

An organisation’s social license to operate.

Social and relationship capital is seen to complement other intangible capitals, including human and intellectual capitals and what are sometimes called organizational, information and knowledge capitals. Other intangible capitals frequently rely on social and relationship capital to be realized. Human and social and relationship capitals are “clearly linked in a kind of virtuous circle, with education tending to increase social capital and at the same time social capital tending to increase educational performance.

consultation with the Board, we have concluded that it is necessary to depute separate Chief Risk Officer (CRO). Creating a CRO role with oversight of Risk Management Committee will ensure that the critical areas of risk management and compliance are represented at the appropriate level for strategic decision making. This change will allow the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to focus fully on the financial strategy of the bank and to address in more depth the challenge of the increasing role of data quality in relation to financial management and internal and external reporting. Growth pace and organisational

complexity urges for focused on a more strategic and oversight role.

Increased customer expectations, new digital transformation and increasing regulatory demands affect us in the same way as other banks. In order to become faster and better at delivering value for our stakeholders and communities we serve, as well as improving efficiency and control, we have introduced a dynamic form of structure.

The SECOND LINE of defense functions provide independent oversight and assurance. They have resources at the centre and are embedded within the business lines. Central resources provide overall oversight of risks, while resources embedded within the business lines support management in ensuring that their specific risks are effectively managed as close to the source as possible. Central and embedded resources jointly oversee risks at a legal entity level.

The second line of defense functions develop, implement and integrate governance standards, frameworks and policies for each material risk type to which the group is exposed. This ensures consistency and an enterprise-wide approach across the groups business lines and legal entities.

Compliance with the standards and frameworks is ensured through annual self-assessments by the second line of defense.

The THIRD LINE of defense provides independent and objective assurance to the board and senior management on the effectiveness of the first and second lines of defense. This responsibility lies with Audit Committee. The Bank’s policy is to ensure that risk management processes throughout the bank are audited by the Internal Audit Function, which examines both the adequacy of the procedures and the bank‘s compliance with the procedures. Internal Audit division discusses the results of all assessments and reports its findings and recommendations to the Board through Audit Committee.

c. Risk Management Risk is inherent in a business and such risks

are managed through a process of continuous identification, measurement and monitoring and reporting subject to risk tolerance level and other controls. This process of risk management is critical to the Bank for sustainable growth.

The Bank is exposed to credit risk, interest rate risk, market risk, liquidity risk and operational risk. The Bank’s Business Strategy and policy is to monitor those business risks through the Bank’s strategic planning process.

The Bank has formulated Five Years Long Term Strategic Plan (FY 2017/18 to FY 2021/22) which

integrates risk management as a continuous functions of the Bank. Further, the Bank formulated Annual Plans and Budget which provide guidance on the future business prospects of the Bank. These documents establish the desired nature and size of the business portfolio at a future period. While preparing these documents, risk assessment is taken as one of the most important factors. Bank understands the various forms of risks associated with the business and the importance of business model and capital composition in mitigating these risks. Hence, the present as well as future capital requirements of the Bank are thoroughly assessed to ensure that it is more than adequate to support the business needs of the Bank.

Overall Risk Management Risk Management Policy

Related with Credit Risk Credit Strategy Paper Credit Risk Management Framework Environmental and Social Risk Policy

Related with Operational Risk Operations Risk Management Framework IT Risk Management Framework

Related with Market Risk Market Risk Management Framework

Related with Liquidity Risk Liquidity and Funding Risk Management Framework

Risk Management Structures The Board is primarily responsible for risk

management process. Risk management committee (RMC), which is a sub-committee of the Board has been established and delegated risk management responsibilities. This committee plays a pivotal role in establishing best practices in relation to risk policies and practices within the bank.

The level of risks that bank is willing to accept is decided at the RMC level, and the decisions made by this committee are communicated to the Board of Directors. The Board ratifies the risk management policies and risk tolerance levels agreed at the Risk management committee level.



The Committee fulfils the requirement set out in the Unified Directives No. 5/075 issued by Central Bank of Nepal.

The Committee currently consists of 5 members i.e. 3 Non-Executive Directors and representation of Chief Operating Officer and Head - Operation Department and Head - Risk Department as a member of the committee.

The Bank is exposed to various risk factors and managing these risk factors is an integral part of the Bank’s operations. Bank’s management body has a dual structure, meaning that the Board of Directors has a supervising role and the CEO has responsibility for daily operations. The ultimate responsibility for ensuring an adequate risk management framework lies with the Board of Directors. The Board defines and communicates the acceptable level of risk through the Bank’s Risk Appetite Statement and the risk management policies.

The Board of Directors have the following responsibilities under risk governance and organization:

Select competent board members; and establish guidelines to govern the board organization and structures.

Select competent executive officers, evaluate and compensate them accordingly.

Review and approve the management-developed strategy i.e. approve the overall risk-appetite of the institution.

taken to remedy the situation. Ensure the compliance of the institution with its

legal and regulatory requirements. Directors are to perform these functions in

ALCO is entrusted with the identification and managing of Market Risk and Liquidity Risk whereas other committees are responsible for ensuring and managing overall risk management framework and adequacy of existing risk management policies and practices in addressing and mitigating inherent risk in the businesses.

Capital Adequacy RatioThe banks operates in high leverage. It means bank uses large portion of public funds (deposits) as compared to equity funds in managing its assets portfolio. Thus, the Bank’s exposure to risky assets is crucial to measure its resilience in terms of its capital. This is measured and well represented in capital adequacy ratio (CAR).

Capital Adequacy Ratio is computed on a regular basis to ascertain its adequacy in terms of the associated risks. The Bank has provided priority over capital component and capital adequacy ratio which it assumes to keep quite high as compared to regulatory requirement.

ALCO is entrusted with the identification and managing of Market Risk and Liquidity Risk whereas other committees are responsible for ensuring and managing overall risk management framework and adequacy of existing risk management policies and practices in addressing and mitigating inherent risk in the businesses.

The regulatory minimum requirement of capital over the past 5 years is 11%. However, the Bank has maintained its actual capital adequacy ratio above minimum requirement. The sinking capital adequacy ratio in FY 2015/16 was enhanced by fresh 25% issue of right shares in FY 2016/17 and further 65% right issue in FY 2017/18 which is more visible in above chart as well.

Furthermore, other quantitative and indicative tools are also studied and discussed amongst the Management and the Board.

to Credit, Operational, Market and other risks. The Unit is guided by risk management frameworks and guidelines to monitor various risks in different departments. The Bank has also formulated Credit Risk Management Committee and Operation Risk Management Committee whose reports are further escalated to Risk Management Committee through Management Risk Monitoring Committee.

Besides this, the Bank has an Internal Audit Department to conduct audit & inspection of various activities of the Bank and directly reports to the Audit Committee. The Management on regular intervals studies and makes analysis to identify various inherent risks based on indicative facts, figures and statistics which is further presented and rigorously discussed in the Risk Management Committee headed by a Non-Executive member of the Board and further deliberated in the Board. The Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) policy, a comprehensive risk/capital management document, Risk Management Guidelines and various risk frameworks act as guiding tools for the Bank to effectively manage various associated risks with the business. With the regular use of various measurement tools, risk management function has been brought and put into effective practice in the Bank.

The Bank has following approaches to the following types of risk:

i. Credit Risk: Credit risk is the risk of financial loss that the

Bank may face as a result of a borrower or counterparty not meeting its obligations in line with the original contract. Since majority of the Bank’s assets are in the form of loans and advances, management of credit risk becomes the most crucial task. Bank’s approach to Credit Risk Management is governed by following Board’s approved policies and procedures. Risk Management Policy, Credit Risk Management Framework, Credit Risk Strategy Paper are formulated to monitor and manage risk pertinent to credit. The Bank has placed credit risk unit independent of business units. Risk management committee reviews various risk factors related to lending businesses on a periodic basis. Various reports related with risk factors are discussed in Management Risk Monitoring Committee and escalated to Risk Management Committee. Periodically revised credit policy guides all underwriting activities to be performed in order to ensure that potential risks are addressed, well communicated and mitigated in advance. Loans are approved only after Risk Department sanction a clean report

on the credit proposals. Credit concentrations on various sectors are regularly monitored and further planning of credit portfolio is done after due discussions in Credit Risk Management Committee, Management Risk Monitoring Committee, Risk Management Committee and Assets Liability Management Committee. The Bank also allocates adequate risk reserves so that cushion will be sufficient to cover the credit risk that may occur in future. The Bank follows incurred loss model to quantify the loan impairment amount in order to allocate credit risk reserve out of profit. However, if loan impairment amount exceeds the amount determined under incurred loss model, the higher amount shall be set as reserve in the form of loan impairment as per the requirement of Nepal Rastra Bank’s directive. Thus, we perceive that credit risk is adequately mitigated by the Bank in statement of financial position of the Bank. Similarly, credit risk in investment portfolio is guided by the Investment policy of the Bank.

ii. Operation Risk: Operational Risk is risk of loss resulting from

inadequate or failed internal processes, people and system or from external events. Bank is committed to continuous strengthening of internal controls. Standard Operating Procedures for all areas of bank operations have been formulated and implemented. To mitigate the operational risk, Bank has a centralized Operations unit to ensure the consistency and accuracy in processing transactions as well as to review and identify any potential risk. Bank has formulated and implemented a comprehensive IT policy to ensure and strengthen data and network security. IS Audit is also conducted separately. Bank has adopted an internationally acclaimed Flexcube as the core banking software, which has excellent inbuilt control features. The software has been thoroughly tested and customized as per the Bank’s requirements; balancing both the business requirements and its control features.



Large extent of the MIS requirements have been automated and efforts are always underway for further development/enhancement. In order to continuously improve the capabilities of the employees, training calendars are developed and implemented based on their need assessments. In order manage risk relating to natural disaster on data loss, the bank has placed DR server at Bhairahawa which is comparatively less seismic zone.

In order to give a charge on capital for possible operational risk, the Bank follows basic indicator approach as per Basel III requirement of NRB under which banks must hold capital for operational risk equal to the average over the previous three years of a fixed percentage (denoted alpha) of positive annual gross income. Fixed percentage (alpha) has been set 15%.

iii. Market Risk: Market risk refers to the risk to a bank resulting

from movements in market prices, in particular, changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity and commodity prices. Market risk is defined as the risk of losses in on and off-balance sheet positions arising from movements in market prices.

The major sources of market risk for the bank are interest rate risk, exchange rate risk and liquidity risk. Bank has an Assets Liability Committee and Investment Management Committee which meets regularly to identify and manage these risks as per the laid down policies and procedures. Treasury Back Office (TBO) and risk units regularly assess and monitor the financial position and transaction of the Bank. TBO analyses the net open position on a daily basis to mitigate all possible risk associated to foreign currency. Foreign Currency Assets and Liabilities are reported on weekly basis

and ensured that the net position is within the tolerable limit (up to 30% of Tier I Capital). ALCO on regular interval evaluates the sensitivity of asset and liability towards interest rate. Further interest sensitivity analysis is conducted to act as a tool to mitigate possible interest rate risk. Movement of Bank's interest yield, cost and spread is calculated and analysed on daily basis to identify, assess and mitigate possible risk exposure.

The risks subject to this requirement are: Interest Rate Risk:Interest rate risk is a key constitute of the market risk exposure of the Bank due to adverse and unanticipated movements in future interest rate which arises from core business activities; granting of credit facilities, accepting deposits and issuing debt instruments.Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flow and /or, the fair values of financial instruments. Several factors give rise to interest rate risk; which arises due to the mismatches in the maturities of assets and liabilities; basis risk which is the threat to income arises due to differences in the bases on interest rates. Bank measures the impact of interest rate risk in its profitability through GAP analysis of interest sensitive assets and interest sensitive liabilities in different time buckets. This impact analysis is reported to the management through ICAAP report on a quarterly basis. Currency Risk:Foreign exchange risk is the potential for the Bank to experience volatility in the value of its assets, liabilities and solvency and to suffer actual financial losses as a result of changes in value between the currencies of its assets and liabilities and its reporting currency.

Equity Price Risk:Equity price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in equity prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or by factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market.

Out of the various components of market risk, foreign exchange risk is the predominant risk in our country. The effects of other forms of market risk are minimal. Thus, a net open position approach has been devised to measure the capital requirement for market risk. The designated Net Open Position approach requires banks to allocate



a fixed proportion of capital in terms of its net open position. The banks should allocate 5 percentage of their net open positions (either long or short) as capital charge for market risk.

iv. Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk refers to the availability of sufficient

cash balances to meet the demands on deposits and new lending targets as well as provide a flow of net liquid assets to meet contractual borrowings and other commitments.

The Bank’s primary objective in liquidity risk management is to ensure adequate funding for its businesses throughout market cycles, including periods of financial stress. To achieves this objectives the asset and liability management committee (ALCO) analyses and monitors liquidity risk, and maintains an adequate margin of safety in liquid needs.

The bank maintains a portfolio of highly

marketable and diverse assets that are assumed to be easily liquidated in the event of unforeseen interruption of cash flow. The bank can also access to lines of credit (Inter-bank loan) that it can meet liquidity needs.

The Bank assesses its liquidity risk on a quarterly

basis through ICAAP Reports. It measures and analyze the liquidity risk by way of computing GAP analysis of its various assets and liabilities of different time buckets. However, if threshold of gap limit exceeds 20% of liabilities under 0-90 days’ time buckets, the Bank assumes that it will face immediate difficulty in managing its liquidity position which it desires to mitigate by reflecting an additional charge in capital adequacy ratio.

In addition, the Bank maintains the liquidity ratio prescribed by Central Bank of Nepal.

Cash Reserve RatioAs per Unified Directives of Central’s Bank of Nepal, the Bank has to maintain, as cash reserve ratio,

minimum weekly average of 4% of its average total deposit of previous two weeks in NRB’s nostro account. This ratio is reviewed on a weekly basis and planning of CRR for the coming week is also done in advance. Statutory Net Liquid Asset RatioAs per Unified Directives of Central’s Bank of Nepal, the bank has to maintain minimum net liquid assets comprises of 20% of total deposit. The Bank maintained a healthy statutory net liquid asset ratio throughout the year. The Bank considers cash and bank balances, money at call & short notice, placement up to 90 days and investment in government securities. Borrowings repayable up to 90 days is deducted from liquid assets to obtain net liquid assets.

Credit to Core Capital and Domestic Deposits RatioAs per Unified Directives of Central’s Bank of Nepal, the bank has to maintain maximum Credit to Core Capital and Domestic Deposit (CCD) ratio of 80 percent.

The Bank stresses the importance of maintaining an adequate customer Deposit Base such as Time, Saving and Call Deposits as source of funds to finance Loans and Advances. They are monitored using the Credit to Core Capital and Domestic Deposits ratio.

The Bank has earned Rs. 4.18 billion of interest income in FY 2019/20 which is 10.05 percent higher as compared to previous year. At the end part of FY 2019/20 i.e. on 5th July 2020 erstwhile Gandaki Bikas Bank Limited was acquired by Mega Bank Nepal Limited and operated its joint transaction on that date thus only around 11 days’ income and expenses from the books of erstwhile Gandaki Bikas Bank Limited has been effected in FY 2019/20. The positive impacts have been observed in the business sectors because of positive indications seen in Nepalese market and this has led to increase in demands for loans for first 8 months of in the review period. The excessive demands in loans and advances pressurized the availability of loanbale funds and also demands of funds for the fulfillment of the liquidity has led the interest rate of deposits at higher level resulting in squeezed spread rate.

The impact of lock down caused due to COVID-19 pandemic has impacted overall economy including our Bank and the rebates in interest amount and interest rates as directed by Nepal Rastra Bank and additional rebates provided by the Bank’s management itself has impacted interest income of the Bank. Despite these limitations, the Bank has been able to mark its net interest income growth at satisfactory level. The average yield from the loans and advances in the review period was 12.10 percent which was 13.32 percent in previous period. The cost of deposits has been 6.93 percent which was 7.86 percent in previous year. The scarcity in loanable funds caused by increase in demand for loans in the overall banking sector in Nepal has resulted high costs deposits in the books as was in earlier year but due to impact of the COVID 19 pandemic, the interest rate fell down and weighted average cost of deposit remained lower as compared to earlier year. The average interest spread computed as per the provision of Nepal Rastra Bank for the Bank

has been 4.39 percent which was 4.33 percent in previous year. As there is decline in the yield from loans and advances, rebates provided in interest amount and interest rates, squeezing of net interest spread, etc. have casued lower growth in net interest income. The other income earned by the Bank by offering various services and facilities is Rs. 1,013.8 million which was Rs. 911.6 in previous year.

The personnel expenses (including bonus provision) in the review period is Rs. 1,260.2 million as compared to Rs. 1,154.1 million in previous year which is a growth of 9.19 percent.

b. Aviyan Laghubitta Bittiya Sanstha Limited (AVIYAN) is incorporated as a limited liability company under company Act 2063 and licensed by Nepal Rastra Bank as “D” class financial institution.

2. Basis of Preparation

2.1 Statement of ComplianceThe coronavirus outbreaks characterized by the World Health Organization as a pandemic on 11th March 2020 as well as measure introduced by governments and regulators to tackle the outbreak has affected the supply chain and demand for goods and services and therefore had a significant impact on the business operation. At the same time, fiscal and monetary policies have been eased to sustain the economy.

The consolidated financial statements of Mega Bank Nepal Limited as on 15th July 2020 (31st Asar 2077) are prepared on a going concern basis. The impacts of the pandemic, mitigated by all countercyclical measures such as government and financial support to customers, mainly related payment holidays to all borrowers, credit losses and Asset valuation. These impacts were estimated against a background of uncertainty about the magnitude of the impact of the outbreak on economies. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Nepal Financial Reporting Standards (NFRS) as published by the Accounting Standards Board (ASB) Nepal and pronounced by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nepal (ICAN) and in the format issued by Nepal Rastra Bank.

The financial statements comprise the Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Profit or Loss, Statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Changes in Equity, the Statement of Cash Flows and the Notes to the Accounts.

Historical cost convention has been used for financial statement recognition and measurement except otherwise required



by NFRS. Where, other method(s), other than historical costs, such as fair value has been applied these have been disclosed in accordance with the applicable reporting framework.

These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented except otherwise stated.

2.2 Reporting period and approval of financial statements

The approval of financial statements accompanied with notes to the financial statements have been adopted by the Board of Directors in it’s 307th meeting held on 17th December, 2020 and the Board acknowledges the responsibility of preparation of financial statements of the Bank. The approved financial statements have been recommended for approval by the shareholders in the 10th annual general meeting of the Bank subject to approval from Nepal Rastra Bank.

2.3 Functional and Presentation CurrencyThe financial statements are presented in Nepalese Rupees (NPR) which is the Bank’s functional currency. All financial information presented in NPR has been rounded to the nearest rupee except where indicated otherwise.

2.4 Use of Estimates, Assumptions and Judgements

The Bank, under NFRS, is required to apply accounting policies to most appropriately suit its circumstances and operating environment. Further, the Bank is required to make judgments in respect of items where the choice of specific policy, accounting estimate or assumption to be followed could materially affect the financial statements. This may later be determined that a different choice could have been more appropriate.

The accounting policies have been included in the relevant notes for each item of the financial statements and the effect and nature of the changes, if any, have been disclosed.

The NFRS requires the Bank to make estimates and assumptions that will affect the assets, liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and profit or loss as reported in the financial statements. The Bank applies estimates in preparing and presenting the financial statements and such estimates

and underlying assumptions are reviewed periodically. The revision to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised, and are applied prospectively.

Disclosures of the accounting estimates have been included in the relevant sections of the notes wherever the estimates have been applied along with the nature and effect of changes of accounting estimates, if any.

2.5 Going Concern The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, as the Board of the Bank is satisfied that the Bank has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. In making this assessment, the Board of Directors have considered a wide range of information relating to present and future conditions, including future projections of profitability, cash flows and capital requirements and capital resources. These considerations include stressed scenarios that reflects the increasing uncertainty that the global Covid-19 pandemic has had on bank operations as well as considering potential impacts from other top and emerging risks, and the related impact on profitability, capital, and liquidity. Further management considers the effects of Covid -19 is short to medium term and has taken adequate measures to mitigate the possible effects.

2.6 The Impact of Covid 19The sudden shock arises from the outbreak of the COVID-19 globally since January 2020 caused massive economic disruption leading to uncertainty in the whole world and Nepal, the country exposed to this risk late in March 2020. Subsequent to the Outbreak of COVID -19, the bank has strictly adhered to the guidelines and directions issued by the Government, Health authorities and the Central Bank of Nepal (NRB) when conducting its business operation. Since limited access to the office was feasible the bank immediately planned to “work from home” and facilitated the key management personnel. The announcement by the Government that Banks are essential service provider led the bank to operate with critical functions to ensure uninterrupted service to its valued customers. Detailed discussion is given in the notes to the financial statements.

2.7 Changes in Accounting PoliciesThe Bank is required to adopt and apply



the accounting policies in conformity with NFRS. The accounting policies are applied consistently, changes, if any, are disclosed with the financial impact to the extent possible. When polices are not guided by the reporting framework, NFRS, other reporting standards and generally accepted accounting principles are followed.

2.8 Reporting PronouncementsThe Bank has, for the preparation of financial statements, adopted the NFRS pronounced by ICAN as effective on 13 September 2013. The NFRS conform, in all material respect, to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

However, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nepal (ICAN) vide its notice dated 20 September 2018 has resolved that Carve-outs in NFRS with Alternative Treatment and the effective period shall be provided to the Banks and Financial Institutions regulated by NRB on the specific recommendation of Accounting Standard Board (ASB). Further on 10 November 2020 as recommended by the Accounting Standard Board (ASB), the Institution of Chartered Accountants of Nepal has resolved more Carve-out with Alternative Treatment accompanying varied periods of Carve-out. Some Carve-outs provided previously have been extended to cover the additional fiscal years.

Summary of carve-outs has been provided chronologically as under.

2.8.1 NFRS 10: Consolidated Financial Statements

In para 19 of NFRS 10, a parent shall prepare consolidated financial statements using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances unless it is impracticable to do so.

The carve-out is optional and has been valid Upto FY 2019-20. The Bank has complied as required by NFRS. Accordingly, Bank’s investment in Mega Capital Markets Limited, a 100% owned subsidiary, has been consolidated.

2.8.2 Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures

In para 35, the entity’s financial statements shall be prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and events in similar circumstances unless in case of an associate, it is impracticable to do so.

2.8.3 NAS 39: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement

a) ImpairmentIn para 58, 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 unless the entity is a bank or financial institution registered as per Bank and Financial Institutions Act, 2073. Such entities shall measure impairment loss on loan and advances as the higher amount derived as per norms prescribed by Nepal Rastra Bank for loan loss provision and the amount determined as per paragraph 63; and shall apply paragraph 63 to measure the impairment loss on financial assets other than loan and advances. The entity shall disclose the impairment loss as per this carve-out and the amount of impairment loss determined as per paragraph 63.

The carve-out is not optional and has been valid Upto FY 2020-21. The Bank has measured the impairment of loans and advances to customers as higher of the impairment as assessed under NFRS or as per the norms prescribed by Nepal Rastra Bank. The provision is mandatory where impairment under NFRS and impairment under NRB norms have been disclosed for comparison and the higher of the two is charged as impairment and recognized in the financial statements.



b) Impracticability to determine transaction cost of all previous years which is the part of effective interest rate

In para 9, The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, 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. 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 NAS 18 Revenue), transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts. There is a presumption that the cash flows and the expected life of a group of similar financial instruments can be estimated reliably. However, in those rare cases when it is not possible to estimate reliably 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 carve-out is optional and that has initially been provided Upto the period FY 2018-19 was extended the coverage period till FY 2020-21. Accordingly, the bank has opted for the carve-out.

c) Impracticability to determine interest income on amortized cost

In para AG 93, once a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets have been written down as a result of an impairment loss, interest income is thereafter recognized using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. Interest income shall be calculated by applying an effective interest

rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset unless the financial asset is written off either partially or fully.

The carve-out is optional and has been valid Upto FY 2020-21. Accordingly, the bank has opted for the carve-out.

2.8.4 NFRS 3: Business Combinationa) Para 18, NFRS 3: Exclusion for the acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair value.

The acquirer shall account for and integrate into it books of account on announced books integration date (being acquisition date) the total assets and liabilities (except equity and all reserves) of acquiree at the value determined by applying the same basis considered for determining a restated value for its adjusted net worth for the purpose of swap ratio as per NRB Merger and Acquisition Bylaws, the value so determined is to be considered as the fair value of the acquiree.

The carve-out is not optional and has been valid Upto FY 2020-2021. Accordingly, the bank has opted for the carve-out.

b) Para 37, NFRS 3: Exception to consideration transferred in a business combination measured at fair value.

Where purchase consideration is settled through the issue of share (ordinary equity or other shares) of the acquirer, the fair value of such ordinary equity share to be issued by the acquirer shall be the value determined by applying the various parameters as per NRB merger and acquisition Bylaws for the purpose of swap Ratio. Accordingly, the acquirer will issue the required number of its ordinary equity shares ( or other shares) to the shareholders of the acquiree as per swap ratio so determined /approved by a regulatory authority. Ordinary equity shares so issued are valued at the fair value (as determined for the purpose of swap



ratio) where the face value shall be accounted for as cent percent paid-up ordinary equity shares in the books of accounts of acquirer and balance being the difference between the fair value of the share ( considered for swap ratio ) and the face value of such ordinary equity shares shall be accounted for as other components of equity (share premium/discount).

The Carve-out is not optional and has been Valid Upto FY 2020-2021. Accordingly, the bank has opted for the carve-out. However, to comply with the statutory and regulatory requirements for BFIs and in absence of specific instructions on consolidation of other components of equity such as General Reserve, Exchange Equalisation Reserve, Regulatory Reserve, Fair Value Reserve, Revaluation reserve, Retained Earnings and Other Reserves are taken over on acquisition has been consolidated in the same heading of acquirer’s other components of equity. The treatment has resulted net share premium amount of Rs. 207,849,580.64, which would otherwise have been Rs. 1,347,500,000.00.

2.9 Adoption of new and revised Standards New and amended NFRS Standards that are effective from 17th July 2021 (1st Shrawan 2078)

The Institution of Chartered Accountants of Nepal vide dated 9th July 2020, issued notice regarding the implementation of New Accounting Standards. Those Accounting Standards shall be effective from on and after 17th July 2021 (1st Shrawan 2078).

The following New Accounting Standards have not been early adopted by the bank in the current fiscal year. The Bank is still currently assessing the detailed impact of these amendments.

2.9.1 NFRS 9 ‘Financial InstrumentsIFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ was issued by the IASB in July 2014 and effective internationally for the financials beginning on or after 1 January 2018. ASB endorsed NFRS 9 Financial Instruments with some exceptions,

mainly in the impairment. Currently, the Incurred Loss Model as specified in NAS 39 is used. The requirement of NFRS 9 is the Expected Credit Loss Model.

Expected Credit Loss Model (ECL) of ImpairmentThe Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model is a forward-looking model. The ECL estimates are unbiased, probability-weighted, and include supportable information about past events, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions. IFRS 9 introduces “general model” of recognizing impairment loss. This model requires recognizing impairment losses in line with the stage in which the financial asset currently is. There are three stages.

Stage 1: 12 month ECL – No significantly increased credit risk. Financial instruments that have not had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition require, at initial recognition a provision for ECL associated with the probability of default events occurring within the next 12 months (12 month ECL). For those financial assets with a remaining maturity of less than 12 months, a Probability of Default (PD) is used that corresponds to the remaining maturity. Interest will be calculated on the gross carrying amount of the financial asset before adjusting for ECL

Stage 2: Lifetime ECL – Significantly increased credit risk. In the event of a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a provision is required for the lifetime ECL representing losses over the life of the financial instrument (lifetime ECL).

Interest income will continue to be recognized on a gross basis.

Stage 3: Lifetime ECL – Defaulted Financial instruments that move into Stage 3 once credit impaired and purchases of credit impaired assets will require a lifetime provision. Interest income will be calculated based on the gross carrying amount of the financial asset less ECL (Net basis).



2.9.2 NFRS-15: Revenue from contract with customers:

The IASB issued a new standard for revenue recognition which overhauls the existing revenue recognition standards. The core principle of the guidance is that the entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard requires the following five step model framework to be followed for revenue recognition:

Identify the contract(s) with a customer. Identify the performance obligations in the contract Determine the transaction price Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

2.9.3 NFRS 16 ‘Leases’NFRS 16 is the new accounting standard for leases and will replace NAS 17 ‘Leases’ and IFRIC 4 ‘Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease’. The new standard removes the distinction between operating or finance leases for lessee accounting, resulting in all leases being treated as finance leases. All leases will be recognized on the statement of financial position with the optional exceptions for short-term leases with a lease term of less than 12 months and leases of low-value assets (for example mobile phones or laptops). A lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The main reason for this change is that this approach will result in a more comparable representation of a lessee’s assets and liabilities in relation to other companies and, together with enhanced disclosures, will provide greater transparency of a lessee’s financial leverage and capital employed. The standard permits a lessee to choose

either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective transition approach.

2.9.4 NAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies

NAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies applies to the financial statements, including the consolidated financial statements, of any undertaking whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy. Inflation-adjusted financial statements are an extension to, not a departure from, historical cost accounting. NAS 29 aims to overcome the limitations of historical cost financial reporting in hyperinflationary environments.

In a hyperinflationary economy, reporting of operating results and financial position in the local currency without restatement is not useful and comparisons of results over time mean little. As prices rise, the value of money (the general purchasing power) falls, as you can buy less with each unit of currency. Financial statements unadjusted for inflation do not properly reflect the company’s position at the balance sheet date, the results of its operations, or cash flows.

NAS 29 does not establish an absolute rate at which hyperinflation is deemed to arise. It is a matter of judgment when the restatement of financial statements in accordance with NAS 29 becomes necessary.

Hyperinflation is indicated by characteristics of the economic environment of a country which include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. the general population prefers to keep its wealth in non-monetary assets (preferring barter to cash) or in a relatively stable foreign currency. Amounts of local currency held are immediately invested to maintain purchasing power;2. the general population regards

monetary amounts not in terms of the local currency but in terms of a relatively stable foreign currency. Prices may be quoted in that currency;



3. sales and purchases on credit take place at prices that compensate for the expected loss of purchasing power during the credit period, even if the period is short;

4. interest rates, wages, and prices are linked to a price index; and

5. the cumulative inflation rate over three years is approaching, or exceeds, 100%.

Nevertheless, NAS 29 applies to the financial statements of any undertaking from the start of the reporting period in which it identifies the existence of hyperinflation in the country in whose currency it reports.

2.10 New and revised Standards in issue but not yet effective

At the date of authorization of these financial statements, the bank has not applied the following new and revised IFRS Standards that have been issued but are not yet effective and has not yet been adopted by ASB Nepal.

A number of new standards and amendments to the existing standards and interpretations have been issued by IASB after the pronouncements of NFRS with varying effective dates. Those become applicable when ASB Nepal incorporates them within NFRS. Some of the major amendments to NFRS, NAS and IFRIC has been presented below.

2.10.1 Amendments to NFRS 3: Definition of a Business

The aim of the amendments to NFRS 3 Business Combinations is to establish a better distinction between the acquisition of a business and the acquisition of a group of assets.

The amendment clarifies that to be considered a business, an integrated set of activities and assets muct includes, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that, together , significantly contribute to the ability to create output. Futhermore, it clarifies that a business can exit without including all of the inputs and processe needed to create

outputs. To be considered a business an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs.

The amendments introduce an optional concentration test that premits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. Under the optional concentration test, the acquired set of activities and assets is not a business if substantially all of the fair value of the gross asset acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar assets.

These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statement of the Bank , but may impact future periods should the Bank enter into any business combinations.

2.10.2 Amendments to NAS 1 and NAS 8: Definition of Material

The Amendments NAS 1 and NAS 8 is to tighten up the the definition of the term ‘material’ without fundamentally altering the application of the principal of materiality. In particular, the amendments introduce the new notion of ‘obscuring information’ and place ‘obscuring’ on a par with omitting or misstating information.

The amendments provide a new definition of material that states, “information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.” The amendments are intended to make the definition of material in NAS 1 easier



to understand and are not intended to alter the underlying concept of materiality in NFRS Standards. The concept of ‘obscuring’ material information with immaterial information has been included as part of the new definition. The threshold for materiality influencing users has been changed from ‘could influence’ to ‘could reasonably be expected to influence’.

The definition of material in NAS 8 has been replaced by a reference to the definition of material in NAS

In addition, the IASB amended other Standards and the Conceptual Framework that contain a definition of material or refer to the term ‘material’ to ensure consistency. These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of, nor is there expected to be any future impact to the Bank.

2.10.3 IFRIC Interpretation 23: Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment

The Interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatment involve uncertainty that affets the application of NAS 12 Income Taxes. IFRIC 23 sets out how to determine the accounting tax position when there is uncertainty over income tax treatment. The interpretation required to

determine whether uncertain tax positions are assessed separately or as a group. assess whether it is probable that a tax authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment used, or proposed to be used by, an entity in its income tax filings;

- if yes, the bank should determine its accounting tax position consistently with the

tax treatment used or planned to be used in its income tax filings.- If not , the bank should reflect the effect of uncertainty in determining its accounting tax position using either the most likely amount or the expected value method.

The Interpretation didn’t have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Bank.

2.10.4 Amendments to NFRS 9 : Prepayment features with negative Compensation

The amendments to NFRS 9 clarify that for the purpose of assessing whether a prepayment feature meets the ‘solely payments of principal and interest’ (SPPI) condition, the party exercising option may pay or receive reasonable compensation for the prepayment irrespective of the reason for prepayment. In other words, financial assets with prepayment features with negative compensation do not automatically fail SPPI. These amendments has no impact on the consolidated financial statement of the Bank.

2.10.5 Amendments to NAS 19 : Employee Benefit Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement

The amendments clarify that the past service cost (or of the gain or loss on settlement) is calculated by measuring the defined benefit liability (asset) using updated assumptions and comparing benefit offered and plan assets before and after the plan amendments (or, curtailment or settlement) but ignoring the effect of the asset ceiling (that may arise when the defined benefit plan is in a surplus position). NAS 19 is now clear that the change in the effect of the asset ceiling that may result from the plan amendment (or curtailment or



settlement) is determined in a second step and is recognised in the normal manner in other comprehensive Income.

2.10.6 Amendments to NFRS 10 and NAS 18: Sales or Contribution of Assets between an investor and its Associate or Joint Venture.

The amendments to NFRS 10 and NAS 28 deal with situations where there is a sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. Specifically, the amendments state that gains or losses resulting from the loss of control of a subsidiary that does not contain a business in a transaction with an associate or a joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method, are recognised in the parent’s profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in that associate or joint venture. Similarly, gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of investments retained in any former subsidiary (that has become an associate or a joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method) to fair value are recognised in the former parent’s profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in the new associate or joint venture.

2.11 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 the Bank.

2.12 Limitation of NFRS ImplementationWherever the information is not adequately available and/or it is impracticable to develop, such exception to NFRS implementation has been noted and disclosed in respective sections.

2.13 MaterialityThe Bank for the preparation of financial statements determines materiality based on the nature or magnitude, or both. Materiality is a pervasive constraint in financial reporting because it is pertinent to all of the qualitative characteristics.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

3.1 Basis of MeasurementThe financial statements have been prepared on historical cost basis except for the following material items in the statement of financial position:

derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value

financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value

financial instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value

freehold land at fair value investment property is measured at fair

value liabilities for cash-settled share-based

payment arrangements are measured at fair value

the liability for defined benefit obligations is recognized as the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the net total of the plan assets, plus unrecognized actuarial gains, less unrecognized past service cost and unrecognized actuarial losses.

3.2 Basis of Consolidation

a. Business CombinationBusiness combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date i.e. when control is transferred to the Bank. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that currently are exercisable.

The Bank measures goodwill at the acquisition date as; the fair value of the consideration

transferred, plus the recognized amount of any non-

controlling interests in the acquire, plus if the business combination is achieved

in stages, the fair value of the preexisting equity interest in the acquire, less



the net recognized amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognized in profit or loss.

Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Bank incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

Any contingent consideration payable is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, then it is not re-measured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in profit or loss.

b. Non-Controlling Interest (NCI) For each business combination, the Bank elects to measure any non-controlling interests in the acquiree either:

at fair value; or at their proportionate share of the acquire identifiable net assets, which are generally at fair value.

Changes in the Bank’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Adjustments to non-controlling interests are based on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary. No adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

c. SubsidiariesSubsidiaries are the entities controlled by the Bank. The Bank controls an entity if 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. The Financial Statements of subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

The Bank reassesses whether it has control if there are changes to one or more of the elements of control. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements are combined line by line by adding the like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent with those of its subsidiary. The carrying amount of the parent’s investment in subsidiary and the parent’s portion of equity of subsidiary are eliminated in full. All intra group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between entities of the group (such as interest income and technical fee) are eliminated in full while preparing the consolidated financial statements.

d. Loss of Control

Upon the loss of control, the Bank derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, carrying amount of non-controlling interests and the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity related to the subsidiary. Further parent’s share of components previously recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) is reclassified to profit or loss or retained earnings as appropriate. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognized in the profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently, it is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy for financial instruments depending on the level of influence retained

e. Special Purpose EntitiesSpecial purpose entities (SPEs) are entities that are created to accomplish a narrow and well-defined objectives. An SPE is consolidated if, based on an evaluation of the substance of its relationship with the Bank and the SPE’s risks and rewards, the Bank concludes that it controls the SPE.

The following circumstances may indicate a relationship in which, in substance, the Bank controls and consequently consolidates an SPE:

The activities of the SPE are being conducted on behalf of the Bank according to it specific business needs so that the Bank obtains benefits from the SPE’s operation.



The Bank has the decision-making powers to obtain the majority of the benefits of the activities of the SPE or, by setting up an ‘autopilot’ mechanism, the Bank has delegated these decision-making powers.

The Bank has rights to obtain the majority of the benefits of the SPE and therefore may be exposed to risks incident to the activities of the SPE.

The Bank retains the majority of the residual or ownership risks related to the SPE or its assets in order to obtain benefits from its activities.

f. Transaction Elimination on Consolidation All intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses (except for foreign currency transaction gains or losses) arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

3.3 Cash and Cash equivalent Cash and cash equivalents include cash in

hand, balances with B/FIs, money at call & short notice and highly liquid financial assets with original maturities of three months or less from the acquisition dates that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value and are used by the Bank in the management of its short-term commitments.

Cash and Cash equivalents are carried at amortized cost in the statement of financial position.

3.4 Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

A. RecognitionThe Bank 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 the instrument. The Bank initially recognize loans and advances, deposits and debt securities/ subordinated liabilities issued on the date that they are originated which is the date that the Bank becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Investments in equity instruments, bonds, debenture, Government securities, NRB bond or deposit auction, reverse repos, outright purchase are recognized on trade date at which the Bank commits to purchase/ acquire the financial

assets. Regular way purchase and sale of financial assets are recognized on trade date at which the Bank commits to purchase or sell the asset.

B. Classification

I. Financial AssetsThe Bank classifies the financial assets and subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value on the basis of the Bank’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.

The two classes of financial assets are as follows :

i. Financial assets measured at amortized cost The Bank classifies a financial asset measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:

The asset is held within a b u s i n e s s model whose objective is to hold the instruments in order to collect the contractual cash flows and The cash flows consist solely of payments relating to principal and interest on principal.

Business model criterion Financial assets are managed within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect cash flows through the collection of contractual payments over the life of the instruments.

The realization of disposals close to the maturity of the instrument and for an amount close to the remaining contractual cash-flows, or due to an increase in the counterparty’s credit risk is consistent with a business model whose objectives is to collect the contractual cash flows. Sales imposed by regulatory requirements or to manage the concentration of credit risk (without an increase in the asset’s credit risk) are also consistent with this business model when they are infrequent or insignificant in value.

Cash flow criterion The cash flow criterion is satisfied if the contractual terms of the debt instrument give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely repayments of principal and



interest on the principal amount outstanding.The criterion is not met in the event of a contractual characteristic that exposes the holder to risks or to the volatility of contractual cash flows that are inconsistent with those of a basic lending arrangement. It is also not satisfied in the event of leverage that increases the variability of the contractual cash flows.

The ‘financial assets at amortised cost category includes, in particular, loans granted to customer and BFIs, repurchase agreement and some securities held within the activity of Asset and Liability Management in order to collect contractual flows ( treasury bills, government bonds, other debt securities). ii. Financial asset measured 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: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets are classified as fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) if they are held for trading or are designated at fair value through profit or loss.

The trading portfolio includes instruments held for trading (trading transactions), including derivatives. Other financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss include debt instruments that do not meet the “collect” or “collect and sales” business model criterion or that do not meet the cash-flow criterion, as well as equity instruments for which the fair value through other comprehensive income has not been acceptable.

Upon initial recognition, transaction cost 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.

inancial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading and at the

initial recognition, the Bank 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 financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.

Business Model CriterionFinancial assets are held in a business model whose objective is achieved by both holding the financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets (“collect and sale”). The latter is not incidental but is an integral part of the business model.

Cash flow criterion The principles are identical to those applicable to financial assets at amortised cost.

II. Financial LiabilitiesAll financial liabilities should be classified and measured at amortised cost, with the exception of (NFRS 9 Para 4.2.1)

- Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (including most derivatives)

- Financial liabilities arising when transfer of financial asset does not qualify for derecognition; and

- Financial guarantee contracts and commitments to provide a loan at a below- market interest rate.

The Bank classifies its financial liabilities as follows:

Financial Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

Financial liabilities are classified as fair value through profit or loss if they are held for trading or are designated at fair value through profit or loss. Upon initial recognition, transaction costs are directly attributable to the acquisition are recognized in Statement of Profit or Loss as incurred. Subsequent changes in fair value is recognized at profit or loss.

Financial Liabilities measured at amortised cost

All financial liabilities other than those



measured at fair value though profit or loss are classified and subsequently measured at amortized cost using effective interest rate method.

C. Measurement

i. Initial MeasurementFinancial Instruments are initially measured at the transaction price that is the fair value of the consideration given. Transaction cost in relation to financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in Statement of Profit or Loss. In the case of financial assets classified and measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset are added to this amount whereas transaction costs are deducted from this amount for financial liabilities classified and measured at amortised cost.

In some cases, the transaction price may not be equal to fair value. An example of this is share options exercise their options and purchase shares. The price paid by the option holders is likely to be less than the fair value of the shares. The shares should be initially measured at fair value, evidenced by a quoted price in an active market for identical shares, rather than at transaction price.

ii. 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 and 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 method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, and minus any reduction for impairment or uncollectibility.

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.

In the case of financial liability where the fair value is not capable of reliable measurement, they should be measured at cost.

Covid-19 pandemic has created a situation where the volume of activities for several assets and liabilities being curtailed resulting their values to significantly reduced along with the reduced market activities in an active market. The bank has consider the information available and market conditions at the measurement date.

3.4.1 Derecognition

Derecognition of Financial AssetsThe Bank derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred to another entity. If the Bank neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and it continues to control the transferred assets, the Bank recognizes its interest in the asset and an associated liability for the amounts it may have to pay.

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortized cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit and loss. In addition, on derecognition of investment in a debt instrument classified as at FVOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the fair value reserve is reclassified to profit or loss. In contract, on derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument which it has elected on initial recognition to measure



at FVOCI, the difference between (a) the carrying amount (measured at the date of derecognition) and (b) the consideration received (including any new liability assumed) shall be recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of Financial LiabilitiesA financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or canceled 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 a derecognition 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 Statement of Profit or Loss.

3.4.2 Determination of Fair Value Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction on the measurement date. The fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance risk

The fair values are determined according to the following hierarchy:

Level 1: fair value measurements are those derived from unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: valuations are those 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: portfolios are those where at least one input, which could have a significant effect on the instrument’s valuation, is not based on observable market

data.When available, the Bank measures the fair value of an instrument using quoted prices in an active market for that instrument. 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. If a market for a financial instrument is not active, 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 analyses.

The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition is the transaction price – i.e. the fair value of the consideration given or received. However, in some cases, the fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition may be different to its transaction price. If such fair value is evidenced by comparison with other observable current market transactions in the same instrument (without modification) or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable markets, then the difference is recognized in profit or loss on initial recognition of the instrument. In other cases the difference is not recognized in profit or loss immediately but is recognized over the life of the instrument on an appropriate basis or when the instrument is redeemed, transferred or sold, or the fair value becomes observable.

All unquoted equity investments are valued at net worth basis ,considering the non-trading of promoter shares and on the assumption that in the event of liquidation shareholders shall get proportionate value of net worth of company up to the date of balance sheet, and the market price of such shares could not be ascertained with certainty. Hence, these investments are recognized at fair value using net worth of company and net of impairment, if any.

The fair values of equity investment for



quoted entities have been determined based on the market price prevailed as at 15 July 2020, which is the last date of trading for the financial year 2019/20.

3.4.3 ImpairmentAt each reporting date the Bank assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may have been impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is determined. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events occurring after the initial recognition of the asset (a 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.

The Bank considers the following factors in assessing objective evidence of impairment: Whether the counterparty is in default

of principal or interest payments. When a counterparty files for

bankruptcy and this would avoid or delay discharge of its obligation.

Where the Bank initiates legal recourse of recovery in respect of a credit obligation of the counterpart.

Where the Bank consents to a restructuring of the obligation, resulting in a diminished financial obligation, demonstrated by a material forgiveness of debt or postponement of scheduled payments.

Where there is observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows of a group of financial assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with specific individual financial assets.

The Bank considers evidence of impairment for loans and advances and held-to-maturity investment securities at both a specific asset and collective level. All individually significant loans and advances and held-to-maturity investment securities are assessed

for specific impairment. Those found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified.

Loans and advances and held-to-maturity investment securities that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together loans and advances and held-to-maturity investment securities with similar risk characteristics. Impairment test has been done on quarterly basis for Loans and advances and held-to-maturity investment; and for other trade receivables and other financial assets impairment is done on annual basis which is based on the internal and external indication observed.

In assessing collective impairment, the Bank uses statistical modelling of historical trends of the probability of default (PD), the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred(LGD), 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. Default rates, loss rates and the expected timing of future recoveries are regularly benchmarked against actual outcomes to ensure that they remain appropriate.

In the light of current uncertainty resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, the bank believe that their existing metholodogy to calculate impairment should not apply mechanically. Hence, the bank has consider the information such as the extention of payment holidays to eligible borrowers, various government relief measures to estimate probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) to reflect current economic scanerio. That has affected impairment allowance on loans and advances as on Asar end 2077.

a) Impairment losses on assets measured at amortised cost

As per NAS 39Financial assets carried at amortised cost (such as amounts due from



Banks, loans and advances to customers as well as held–to–maturity investments is impaired, and impairment losses are recognized, only if there is objective evidence as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset. The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the deemed recoverable value of loan.

Loans and advances to customers with significant value (Top 100 borrowers and borrowers classified as Non-Performing Loans as per Nepal Rastra Bank Directive) are assessed for individual impairment test. The recoverable value of loan is estimated on the basis of realizable value of collateral and the conduct of the borrower/past experience of the bank. Assets that are individually assessed and for which no impairment exists are grouped with financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment. The credit risk statistics for each group of the loan and advances are determined by management prudently being based on the past experience. For the purpose of collective assessment of impairment bank has categorized assets in to 10 broad products as follows:

1. Term Loan2. Overdraft Loan3. Import Loan4. Demand and Working capitals Loan5. Personal residential Loan6. Real estate Loan7. Margin lending Loan8. Hire Purchase Loan9. Deprived Sector Loan10. Others

If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the impairment provision in Profit and Loss account. If a future write–

off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to the ’Income Statement’.

As per Loan Loss Provision of Nepal Rastra BankLoan loss provisions in respect of non-performing loans and advances are based on management’s assessment of the degree of impairment of the loans and advances, subject to the minimum provisioning level prescribed in relevant NRB guidelines. Provision is made for possible losses on loans and advances including bills purchased at 1% to 100% on the basis of classification of loans and advances, overdraft and bills purchased in accordance with NRB directives.

Policies Adopted As per the Carve out notice issued by ICAN, the Bank has measured impairment loss on loan and advances as the higher of amount derived as per norms prescribed by Nepal Rastra Bank for loan loss provision and amount determined as per paragraph 63 of NAS 39.

b) Impairment of investment in equity instrument classified as fair value through other comprehensive income

Where objective evidence of impairment exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss (measured as the difference between the transaction cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in the statement of profit or loss) is reclassified from equity and recognised in the statement of profit and loss account. A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an equity security below its cost is considered, among other factors in assessing objective evidence of impairment for equity securities.

If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of equity investment classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the impairment loss is reversed through other comprehensive income.

3.5 Trading AssetsTrading assets and liabilities are those assets and liabilities that the Bank acquires or



incurs principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term, or holds as part of a portfolio that is managed together for short-term profit or position taking.

Trading assets and liabilities are initially recognized at cost and subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, with transaction costs recognized in profit or loss. All changes in fair value are recognized as part of net trading income in profit or loss as regarded as fair value through profit & loss.

3.6 Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities

Derivatives held for risk management purposes include all derivative assets and liabilities that are not classified as trading assets or liabilities. Derivatives held for risk management purposes are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position.

Considering the requirement of NAS 39 for qualification of hedge accounting and cost benefits along with materiality, Bank has not adopted hedge accounting for certain derivatives held for risk management.

3.7 Investment in an AssociatesThe Bank has a 16.39% interest in Sparsha Laghubitta Bittiya Sanstha Ltd. licensed by Nepal Rastra Bank as “D” class financial institution which involves in the providing micro –finance service in rural area such as development of agriculture, irrigation, drinking water, cottage and rural industries, forestry and alternative energy. Sparsha Laghubitta Bittiya Sastha Ltd is a public limited company that is listed in stock exchange Limited. The Bank’s Interest in Sparsha Laghubitta Bittiya Sanstha Limited is accounted for using the equity method in the consolidation of financial statements.

Similarly, the bank also has a 16.39% interest in Aviyan Laghubitta Bittiya Sanstha Ltd licensed by Nepal Rastra Bank as “D” class financial Institution that objective of this institute is to serve the agriculture enterprises, enterprises, small entrepreneur and small enterprises with the low investment within the area of its operation with the facilities of Micro Credit and allied micro finance facilities and to earn the profit for the benefit of the stakeholders whether directly or indirectly. The investment on shares of Aviyan Laghubitta Bittiya Sanstha Limited is not listed on the stock exchange

as on reporting date .The Bank’s Interest in Aviyan Laghubitta Bittiya Sanstha Limited is accounted for using the equity method in the consolidation of financial statements.

3.8 Property and Equipment

a. Recognition and MeasurementThe cost of an item of property and equipment shall be recognized as an asset, initially recognized at cost, if, and only if:

it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity; and

the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the following:

the cost of materials and direct labour; any other costs directly attributable to

bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use;

when the Bank has an obligation to remove the asset or restore the site, an estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located; and

Capitalized borrowing costs.

The Bank adopts cost model for entire class of property and equipment except land. Apart from land, neither class of the property and equipment are measured at revaluation model nor is their fair value measured at the reporting date. The items of property 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.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized if it is probable that the future economic benefits from the expenditure will flow to the Bank. Ongoing repairs and maintenance to keep the assets in working condition are expensed as incurred. 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.



b. Capital Work in Progress Fixed assets under construction and cost of assets not ready for use are shown as capital work in progress.

c. Depreciation Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight- line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful life as per management judgement as follows:

Group Useful Life (In Years)

Computer 5-10

Metal Furniture 10

Office Equipment & Others 10

Vehicle 8

Wooden Furniture 10

Building 50

Lease Hold Assets are amortized on a straight line basis in profit or loss over the period of the lease agreement, from the date that it is available for use.

Non-consumable items having life less than one year or costing less than NPR 10,000 are expensed off during the year of purchase. Capital nature expenditures on immovable Non-consumable items of more than NPR 3,000 are recognized as fixed assets on the basis of their useful life and required level of control.

d. DerecognitionThe carrying amount of Property and Equipment shall be derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property and equipment shall be included in profit or loss when the item is derecognized (unless on a sale & lease back).

Depreciation method, useful lives and residual value are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted, if any.

3.9 Intangible Assets / Goodwill

GoodwillAny excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair values of the identifiable net

assets acquired in Business Combination is recognised as goodwill. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

Acquired Intangible AssetsIntangible assets are initially measured at fair value, which reflects market expectations of the probability that the future economic benefits embodied in the asset will flow to the Bank, and are amortized on the basis of their expected useful lives.

Computer softwareAcquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. Costs associated with the development of software are capitalized where it is probable that it will generate future economic benefits in excess of its cost. Computer software costs are amortized on the basis of expected useful life. Costs associated with maintaining software are recognized as an expense as incurred.

At each reporting date, these assets are assessed for indicators of impairment. In the event that an asset’s carrying amount is determined to be greater than its recoverable amount, the asset is written down immediately.

Software is amortised on a straight line basis in profit or loss over its estimated useful life, from the date that it is available for use. The estimated useful life of software for the current and comparative periods is five years. Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

3.10 Investment Property/Non-Current Assets Held for Sale

Investment Property Investment properties include land or land and buildings other than those classified as property and equipment and non-current assets held for sale. Generally, it includes land, land and building acquired by the Bank as non-banking assets but not sold as on the reporting date.



The Bank holds investment property that has been acquired through enforcement of security over the loans and advances.

Non-Current Assets Held for SaleNon-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.

3.11 Income TaxTax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

a. Current TaxCurrent tax is the expected tax payable or recoverable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

b. Deferred TaxDeferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rate applicable to the Bank as at the reporting date which is expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognized where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available, against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

3.12 Deposits, debts securities issued and subordinated liabilities

a. Deposits The Bank accepts deposits from its customers under savings account, current, term deposits and margin accounts which allows money to be deposited and withdrawn by the account holder. These transactions are recorded on the bank's books, and the resulting balance is recorded as a liability for the Bank and represents the amount owed by the Bank to the customer.

b. Debt Securities Issued

It includes debentures, bonds or other debt securities. Deposits, debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities are initially measured at fair value minus incremental direct transaction costs, and subsequently measured at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, except where the Group designates liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. However, the bank does not have any issue of such debt securities.

c. Subordinated LiabilitiesSubordinated liabilities are those liabilities which at the event of winding up are subordinate to the claims of depositors, debt securities issued and other creditors. The bank does not have any of such subordinated liabilities.

3.13 BorrowingsBorrowings obtained by the Bank that are not designated at fair value through profit or loss, are classified as liabilities under ‘Borrowings’; where the substance of the contractual arrangement results in the bank having an obligation to repay in full on the Termination Date.

After initial measurement, borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective Interest Rate.

3.14 ProvisionsThe Bank recognizes a provision if, as a result of past event, the Bank has a present constructive or legal obligation that can be reliably measured and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation.



A disclosure for contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation that arises from past events, and whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence, or non –occurrence, of uncertain future events; or present obligation that do not meet the recognition criteria because either it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settled the obligation or, a sufficiently reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.

When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

A provision for onerous contract is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Bank from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligation under the contract.

Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources would be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. However, contingent assets are assessed continually and if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognized in the period in which the change occurs.

3.15 Revenue Recognition

Revenue is the gross inflow of economic benefits during the period arising from the course of the ordinary activities of an entity when those inflows result in increases in equity, other than increases relating to contributions from equity participants. Revenue is recognized to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Bank and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is not recognized during the period in which its recoverability of income is not probable. The Bank’s revenue comprises of interest income, fees and commission, foreign exchange income, cards income, remittance income, bancassurance commission, etc. and the bases of incomes recognition are as follows:

a. Interest Income Interest income on financial assets

measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and financial assets held at amortised cost shall be recognized using the bank’s normal interest rate which is very close to effective interest rate using effective interest rate method.

Similarly, only accrued interest on loans and advances to the extent allowed by Guideline on Recognition of Interest Income, 2019 as issued by Nepal Rastra Bank has been recognized as interest income. Interest accrual falls outside the scope of recognition criteria as per the guidelines has been barred and shall be recognized on a cash basis.

Refer 2.7.4 (b) for carve out applied to recognize interest income (transaction cost) using effective interest rate.

Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial instruments held at fair value through profit or loss are included in the statement of profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Contractual interest income and expense on financial instruments held at fair value through profit or loss is recognized within net interest income.

b. Fees & CommissionFees and commissions are recognized on an accrual basis when the service has been provided or significant act performed whenever the benefit exceeds cost in determining such value. Whenever, the cost of recognizing fees and commissions on an accrual basis exceeds the benefit in determining such value, the fees and commissions are charged off during the year.

c. Dividend IncomeDividend income are recognized when right to receive such dividend is established. Usually this is the ex-dividend date for equity securities. Dividends are presented in net trading income, net income from other financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss or other revenue based on the underlying classification of the equity investment.

d. Net Trading IncomeNet trading income comprises gains less losses related to trading assets and



liabilities, and includes all realized and unrealized fair value changes, interest, dividends and foreign exchange differences.

e. Net Income from other financial instrument at fair value through Profit or Loss

Net income from other financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss relates to non-trading derivatives held for risk management purposes that do not form part of qualifying hedge relationships and financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. It includes all realized and unrealized fair value changes, interest, dividends and foreign exchange differences.

3.16 Interest expenseInterest expense on all financial liabilities including deposits are recognized in profit or loss using effective interest rate method. Interest expense on all trading liabilities are considered to be incidental to the Bank’s trading operations and are presented together with all other changes in fair value of trading assets and liabilities in net trading income.

3.17 Employees Benefits

a. Short Term Employee BenefitsShort term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is also recognized for the amount expected to be paid under bonus required by the Bonus Act, 2030 to pay the amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably under short term employee benefits. Short-term employee benefits include all the following items (if payable within 12 months after the end of the reporting period):

wages, salaries and social security contributions, paid annual leave and paid sick leave, profit-sharing and bonuses and non-monetary benefits

b. Post-Employment Benefits Post-employment benefit plan includes the followings;

i. Defined Contribution PlanA defined contribution plan is a post-

employment benefit plan under which the Bank pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as personnel expenses in profit or loss in the periods during which related services are rendered.

Contributions to a defined contribution plan that are due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period in which the employees render the service are discounted to their present value.

All employees of the Bank are entitled to receive benefits under the provident fund, a defined contribution plan, in which both the employee and the Bank contribute monthly at a pre-determined rate of 10% of the basic salary. The Bank does not assume any future liability for provident fund benefits other than its annual contribution. The bank has not considered the gratuity of 8.33% as required by Labor Act 2074 however, provision of gratuity has been done on the basis of actuarial valuation as per HR bylaw of the Bank which does not comply with the provisions of Labor Act 2074.

ii. Defined Benefit planThe Bank continues to operate gratuity payments as post-retirement benefits as defined benefit schemes. A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Bank’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Any unrecognised past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The Bank recognises all actuarial gains and losses net of deferred tax arising from defined benefit plans immediately in other comprehensive income and all expenses related to defined benefit plans in employee benefit expense in profit or loss.



The Bank recognises gains and losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan when the curtailment or settlement occurs. The gain or loss on curtailment or settlement comprises any resulting change in the fair value of plan assets, any change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation, any related actuarial gains and losses and any past service cost that had not previously been recognised.

iii. Other long –Term Employee benefitThe Bank operate accumulated annual leave and sick leave payment which are long term employee benefits other than defined employment benefits and termination benefits. These benefits are not expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees rendered the related services.

The bank recognises amount as liability for long term employee benefits the net total, at the end of the reporting periods, of the present value of the defined obligation and the fair value of the plan assets (If any) out of which the obligations are to be settled directly.

All the assets, liabilities, income and expenditure relating to such benefits should be accounted for in the same way, and subject to the same restriction on the recognition of those relating to a defined benefit pension plan except that remeasurements are recognised in profit or loss.

The measurement of other long –term employee benefits is not usually subject to the same degree of uncertainty as that of define employment benefits.

iv. Termination BenefitsTermination benefits are recognized as an expense when the Bank is demonstrably committed, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognized as an expense if the Bank has made

an offer of voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. If benefits are payable more than 12 months after the reporting date, then they are discounted to their present value.

3.18 LeasesLease payments under an operating lease excluding costs for services such as insurance and maintenance, shall be recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the user’s benefit, even if the payment are not on that basis.

IAS 17 requires a straight-line recognition of the lease expenses even when amounts are not payable on this basis.Generally, lease payments are increased by fixed minimum increments intended to compensate for expected annual inflation over the lease period. The fixed minimum increment will have to be spread so as to take the payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The bank has received some lease concession on lease ATM rent as a result of on going COVID-19 pandemic and hence, has recognized operating lease expenses net of such incentive received.

3.19 Foreign Currency TranslationThe financial statements are presented in Nepalese Rupees (NPR).

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange at the statement of financial position date.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions, and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates if held at historical cost, or year-end exchange rates if held at fair value, and the resulting foreign



exchange gains and losses are recognized in either the statement of profit or loss or shareholders’ equity depending on the treatment of the gain or loss on the asset or liability.

3.20 Financial guarantee and loan commitment

Financial guarantees are contracts that require the Bank to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Loan commitments are firm commitments to provide credit under pre-specified terms and conditions. Loan commitment is the commitment where the Bank has confirmed its intention to provide funds to a customer or on behalf of a customer in the form of loans, overdrafts, future guarantees, whether cancellable or not, or letters of credit and the Bank has not made payments at the reporting date, those instruments are included in these financial statement as commitments.

3.21 Share Capital and Reserves

The Bank classifies capital instruments as financial liabilities or equity instruments in accordance with the substance of the contractual terms of the instruments. Equity is defined as residual interest in total assets of the Bank after deducting all its liabilities. Common shares are classified as equity of the Bank and distributions thereon are presented in statement of changes in equity.

Dividends on ordinary shares and preference shares classified as equity are recognized in equity in the period in which they are declared and approved competent authority.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of an equity instrument are deducted from the initial measurement of the equity instruments considering the tax benefits achieved thereon.

The reserves include retained earnings and other statutory reserves such as general reserve, foreign exchange equalization reserve, regulatory reserve, investment adjustment reserve, staff training and development fund, CSR reserve and actuarial gain/(loss) reserve etc.

3.22 Earnings per share including dilutedThe Bank presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. The basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Bank by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

3.23 Segment ReportingThe Bank is organized for management and reporting purposes into segments such as General Banking, Micro Lending, Remittance, Cards and Alternate Channels and Treasury. The segment results that are reported include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly common assets, head office expenses, and tax assets and liabilities.

4. Risk Management Disclosures and Additional Informations

4.1 Risk Management Risk is inherent in a financial business and such risks are managed through a process of continuous identification, measurement and monitoring, subject risk tolerance level and other controls. This process of risk management is critical to the bank continuing profitability. The bank is exposed to credit risk, interest rate risk, market risk, liquidity risk and operational risk. The Bank’s policy is to monitor those business risks through the Bank’s strategic planning process.

The Bank prepares long term strategic and annual plans which provide guidance on the future business prospects of the Bank. These documents establish the desired nature and size of the business portfolio at a future period. While preparing these documents, capital assessment is taken as one of the most important factors. Bank understands the various forms of risks associated with the business and the importance of capital in mitigating these risks. Hence, the present as well as future capital requirements of the Bank are thoroughly assessed to ensure that it is more than adequate to support the business needs of the Bank.

The changes in the business environment bring about changes in the risk profile of the Bank. Hence, periodic reviews are conducted to assess the impact of any such changes in the environment. Capital Adequacy Ratio is computed on a regular basis to ascertain its adequacy in terms of the associated risks. Furthermore, other quantitative and indicative tools are also studied and discussed amongst the Management and the Board. Various tools and indicators have been put into practice for analysis to support the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) of the Bank. Moreover, an ICAAP policy has been practiced for a systematic process of identifying, measuring, monitoring and controlling various risk aspects as to further put in place a sound capital assessment and management system.

The Board of Directors and the management realize the importance of effective risk management and are keen towards continuous improvement in its risk management function.

Risk unit has been placed independent from other business functions with direct reporting to the Risk Management Committee. The Unit is adequately manned and oversees all risk aspects including but not limited to Credit, Operational, Market and other risks. The Unit is guided by risk management frameworks and guidelines to monitor various risks in different departments. The Bank has also formulated Credit Risk Management Committee and Operation Risk Management Committee whose reports are further escalated to Risk Management Committee through Management Risk Monitoring Committee.

Besides this, the Bank has an Internal Audit Department to conduct audit & inspection of various activities of the Bank and directly reports to the Audit Committee. The Management on regular intervals studies and makes analysis to identify various inherent risks based on indicative facts, figures and statistics which is further presented and rigorously discussed in the Risk Management Committee headed by a Non-Executive member of the Board and further deliberated in the Board. The Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) policy, a comprehensive risk/capital management document, Risk Management Guidelines and various risk frameworks act as guiding tools for the Bank to effectively manage various associated risks with the business. With the regular use of various measurement tools, risk management function has been brought and put into effective practice in the Bank.

4.2 Risk Management StructuresThe Board is primarily responsible for the risk management process. The risk management committee (RMC), which is a sub-committee of the Board has been established and delegated risk management responsibilities. This committee plays a pivotal role in establishing best practices concerning risk policies and practices within the bank.

The level of risks that the bank is willing to accept is decided at the RMC level, and the decisions made by this committee are communicated by the Board of Directors. The Board ratifies the risk management policies and risk tolerance levels agreed at the Risk management committee level.

The Committee fulfills the requirement set out in the Unified Directives No. 5/077 issued by the Central Bank of Nepal.



The Committee currently consists of 5 members i.e. 2 Non-Executive Directors and representation of Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Chief Risk Officer (CRO) as a member of the committee.

Risk Management Committee (RMC) is supported by various sub-committees such as the Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO) and Management Level Credit Committee, Audit Committee, and AML/CFT Committee, ICAAP Committee. ALCO is entrusted with the identification and managing of Market Risk and Liquidity Risk whereas other committees are responsible for ensuring and managing overall risk management framework and adequacy of existing risk management policies and practices in addressing and mitigating inherent risk in the businesses.

The Bank’s policy is to ensure that risk management processes throughout the bank are audited by the Internal Audit Function, which examines both the adequacy of the procedures and the bank‘s compliance with the procedures. The internal Audit division discusses the results of all assessments and reports its findings and recommendations to the Board Audit Committee.

4.2.1 Credit RiskCredit risk is the risk of financial loss that the Bank may face as a result of a borrower or counterparty not meeting its obligations in line with the original contract. Since the majority of the Bank’s assets are in the form of loans and advances, management of credit risk becomes the most crucial task. Bank's approach to Credit Risk Management is governed by the following Board’s approved policies and procedures. Through this policy, the Bank seeks to:

Bank has placed Credit Risk independent of the business generating units. Risk Management Policy, Credit Risk Management Framework, Credit Risk Strategy Paper are formulated to monitor and manage risk pertinent to credit.

Internal Risk Rating of borrowers is done to assess the financial health of the borrower

Risk Management Committee comprising of Non-Executive Directors has been enacted, which reviews various risk factors

periodically. In addition to reviewing associated risks, reports generated, and discussed on the Credit Risk Management Committee are escalated to the Risk Management Committee through the Management Risk Monitoring Committee.

Credit Policy guides all underwriting activities, which is periodically revised to ensure that all immediate and potential risks are addressed.

Loans and facilities are only sanctioned after the joint approval of the Risk Unit along with Business Units.

Lending authority is transparently and disseminated to the lending officials.

Review of concentrations and identification of potential as well problematic sectors for lending are discussed at various committees such as the Credit Risk Management Committee, Management Risk Monitoring Committee, Risk Management Committee (RMC), and Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO).

Credit manuals and product papers are developed and implemented which guides the entire credit-related activities.

The investment portfolio is guided by the Investment policy of the Bank.

4.2.1.1 Impairment Assessment For accounting purposes, the bank uses an incurred loss model for the recognition of losses on impaired financials assets and impairment computed as per the provision of Central Bank’s Unified directive whichever is higher. In latter case, Loan loss provision has been assessed by applying directive no. 2 guidelines.

Under incurred loss model NAS 39, losses can only be recognized when objectives evidence of a specific loss events has been observed. Triggering events include the following:

Significant financial difficulty of the customer.

A breach of contract such as a default of payment

Where the Bank grants the customer a concession due to the customer experiencing financial difficulty.



It becomes probable that the customer will enter bankruptcy or encounter other financial difficulties.

Observable data suggests that there is a decrease in the estimated future cash flows from loans and advances.

Individually assessed allowancesThe Bank determines the allowances appropriate for each individually significant loans and advances on an individual basis, including any overdue payment of interests, infringement of the original terms of the contracts.

In compliance with a regulatory requirement, the bank has determined all the Non-performing loans and advances classified under Central Bank’s Unified Directives for measuring individual impairment.

Items considered when determining impairment allowance include the sustainability of the counterparty’s business plan, its ability to improve performance if it is in financial difficulty, projected receipts and the expected payout should ensure, the availability of other financial support, the realizable value of the collateral and the timing of the expected cash flow. Impairment allowances are evaluated every quarter.Collectively assessed allowancesAllowances are assessed collectively for losses on loans that are not individually significant including loans and Loans and Advances that have been assessed individually and found not to be impaired. Impairment allowances are evaluated at each quarter-end with each portfolio. For regulatory compliance, all the loans and advances assessed as performing loans under Central Bank’s Unified Directives have been measured for collectively assessed allowances.

The Collective assessment is made for a group 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 in the individual loan assessment.

The Collective assessment takes accounts of data from the loan portfolio (such as historical losses on the portfolio, levels of arrears, credit utilization, loan to collateral ratios, and expected receipts and recoveries once impaired) or economic data.

4.2.1.2 Credit related Commitment riskThe risk arising from transactions related to contingent liabilities (Letter of Credit, Letter of Guarantees, and undrawn amount under approved authorization) is included under this. Notwithstanding the non-funded nature of these products, the Bank is prone to a resultant financial loss due to the nature of such products, i,e; claim on guarantees, negotiation of LCs and non – utilization of facilities.

4.2.1.3 Collateral and other credit enhancement

An assessment of the credit risk of an individual at the time of issuing or enhancing a facility shall be determined the amount and type of collateral that is required.

In the event of default, the Bank may, as a remedial measure, exercise its charge of the collateral obtained at the time of approval of credit facilities. Hence, the credit risk is eliminated to the extent of the net realizable value of such collateral, which has a weightage depending on nature of the collateral. Management monitors the market value of such collateral and requests additional collateral if required when reviewing the adequacy of the allowance for impairment losses.



4.2.1.4 Credit Quality by class of financial assets The credit quality of financial assets is managed by the Bank using internal credit ratings. The table below shows the credit quality by class of asset for all financial assets exposed to credit risk, based on the Bank’s internal credit rating system. The amounts presented are gross of impairment allowances.

Excessive movements in market interest rate could result in severe volatility to bank’s net interest income and interest margin. Bank’s exposure to interest rate risk is primarily associated with factor such as;

Reprising risk arising from a fixed rate borrowing portfolio where reprising frequency is different to that of the lending portfolio. Yield curve risk arising from unanticipated shifts of the market yield curve.

b. Currency Risk:Foreign exchange risk is the potential for the Bank to experience volatility in the value of its assets, liabilities



and solvency and to suffer actual financial losses as a result of changes in value between the currencies of its assets and liabilities and its reporting currency.

c. Equity Price Risk:Equity price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in equity prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or by factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Board of Directors of the Bank has laid down the investment policy to control and mitigate the risks of the equity portfolio. The Bank also adheres to the guidelines issued by Central Bank regarding the exposure to a single entity and the total exposure limited for the equity.

The major sources of market risk for the bank are interest rate risk, exchange rate risk and liquidity risk. Bank has an Assets Liability Committee and Investment Management Committee which meets regularly to identify and manage these risks as per the laid down policies and procedures. Treasury Back Office (TBO) and risk units regularly assess and monitor the financial position and transaction of the Bank. TBO analysed the net open position on a daily basis to mitigate all possible risk associated to foreign currency. Foreign Currency Assets and Liabilities are reported on weekly basis and ensured that the net position is within the tolerable limit (up to 30% of Core Capital). ALCO on regular interval evaluates the sensitivity of asset and liability towards interest rate. Further interest sensitivity analysis is conducted to act as a tool to mitigate possible interest rate risk. Movement of Bank's interest yield, cost and spread is calculated and analysed on daily

basis to identify, assess and mitigate possible risk exposure.

Overall investment made and necessary analysis of investments including appropriate suggestions, are issued from Treasury Middle Office (TMO) which reviews the portfolio periodically. TMO is independent from other Treasury units and reports to Chief Risk Officer. Any credit impairment in the investment books are accounted for, for fair assessment of the portfolio.

4.2.4 Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk refers to the availability of sufficient cash balances to meet the demands on deposits and new lending targets as well as provide a flow of net liquid assets to meet contractual borrowings and other commitments.

The Bank’s primary objective in liquidity risk management is to ensure adequate funding for its businesses throughout market cycles, including periods of financial stress. To achieves this objectives the asset and liability management committee (ALCO) analyses and monitors liquidity risk, and maintains an adequate margin of safety in liquid needs.

The bank maintains a portfolio of highly marketable and diverse assets that are assumed to be easily liquidated in the event of unforeseen interruption of cash flow. The bank can also access to lines of credit (Inter-bank loan) that it can meet liquidity needs. In addition, the Bank maintains the liquidity ratio prescribed by Central Bank of Nepal. The following table depicts the maturity profile of the investment portfolio on an undiscounted cash flow basis as on 31 Asar 2077 which is designed and managed to meet the required level of liquidity as and when liquidity outgo arises taking into consideration the time horizon of the financial liabilities of the business.

4.3 Capital Management

4.3.1 Qualitative disclosuresThe Bank has formulated and implemented the "Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process 2013" (Updated 2018) which has been approved by the Board of Directors. The ICAAP 2018 is a comprehensive paper furnishing detailed information on the ongoing assessment of the Bank’s entire spectrum of risks, how the Bank intends to mitigate those risks and how much current and future capital is necessary for the Bank, reckoning other mitigating factors. The purpose of this ICAAP document is to apprise the Board of Directors (BOD) of the Bank on these aspects as also to explain to NRB Bank’s Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process and the Banks’ approach to capital management. The ICAAP is based on the existing internal documentation of the Bank as well.

Assessment of Risk and its management is being performed by the Bank through prudent Banking practices and Nepal Rastra Bank guidelines. Bank has been following the approach for calculating capital requirement as required under Pillar I of Capital Adequacy Framework issued by NRB for credit, operational and market risk while this document outlines the process for identification, measurement, control/management of other possible risks partially covered or not covered by Pillar I along with other external factors together developing



prudent measures/system to mitigate them and ascertain the level of additional capital requirement. Moreover, this policy is intended to further strengthen and improvise the processes the Bank has been following until now.

ICAAP document covers risk management processes followed by the Bank, business strategy and capital plan to measure the level of required capital, types and identification of material risks the Bank is exposed to and how the Bank intends to access, monitor, report and control the same ensuring the adequate level of capital and possible sources. The document also covers the measurement process & quantifying techniques/tools for material risk, prescription of risk limits and assessment of aggregate risk to ascertain additional capital if required. The implementation, monitoring, reporting has also been defined along with the controlling aspect.

The capital requirement assessed under the ICAAP policy shall constitute Tier I and Tier II capital as prescribed by Basel III. The assessed capital of the Bank shall be managed by way of following actions based on cost-benefit analysis and legal requirement:

Further public offering Right shares Retention of recognized profit Dividend Policy of the Bank, if any Mergers and acquisition Issue of hybrid capital and debt instruments including bonds eligible for Tier I and Tier II capital

However, if the level of assessed capital is observed to be gradually exhausting and the CAR tending to move close to the minimum requirement, concrete plans shall be executed to implement the following mitigating actions in priority basis: Expansion of low risk business

volume. Diversification of assets/exposure

portfolio towards low risk area. Improving business processes or re-

engineering business process so that the Bank does not have to bear any

additional regulatory capital charges. Exploring new avenues of sources

of income like fee based income that require no capital or minimum capital.

Diversifying concentration of business segments.

Matching the assets and liabilities gap.

Controlling NPA threats accounts to flow towards NPA accounts.

Suggesting for changes in Dividend Policy of the Bank for addressing the regulatory requirements and business prospects, if any.

Hedging foreign currency risk or interest rate risk.

The Bank shall conduct a periodic stress testing for identified risks. Results of the tests shall be reflected in the Bank’s existing and future capital. The results of the stress testing shall be discussed in the RMC meeting and presented to the Board. It is to be noted that effectiveness of ICAAP is dependent upon conducting periodic stress testing and calibrating the results of the tests to the capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of the Bank.
