CHAPTER-I

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Back ground of the study:
. A bank is a financial institution, which can play a significant role in the upliftment of the
economic situation of the developing country like Nepal. Banks play a vital role to encourage
thrift and discourage hoarding by mobilizing the resource and removing the habit of hoarding.
An important part of any economy is its financial structure, the combination of its financial
market and institution. These two parts of any financial system allow a highly complex,
specialized economy to function in a decentralized manner. The financial structure brings
borrowers and lenders together and fosters economic efficiency and a better use of society's
resource, which, in general result in a higher capital stock for the economy as a whole and a
better standard of living of its inhabitants.

Without a developed financial system, institution, firms, and household would be forced to operate as
self-contained economies. As a result, they could not save without deploying their resources
somewhere, and they could not invest without saving their current outputs. A financial system allows
trade between individual to accomplish both of these ends. It allows savers to defer consumption and
obtain a return for waiting. Likewise, it permits investors to deploy resources in excess or those that
they have available from their own wealth in order to gain the productivity that such investment
yields. The economy also gains from the financial system, as both household and firms advance the
economy, total output, and economic growth… (Santomero & Babbel, 2nd edition, 4)

However, the complexities of a developed financial system often obscure its function. Observers
frequently became lost in the details of the system's market and institutions and miss the purpose and
function of those elements. Yet, it is important to understand the role that financial institutions play
in any economy. It is equally important to understand the details of various financial institution and
financial tool as well.
In the country, the development of banking is relatively recent. The record of banking system in
Nepal gives detail account of mixture of slow and steady evolution in the financial and global
economy of Nepalese life. Involvement of landlords, rich merchant, shopkeepers and other individual
money lenders has acted as fence to institution credit in presence of unrecognized money market.
In this regard this research will concentrate into exploring the size, growth and structure of operating,
financing and investing activities of a highly performing joint venture banks. It is said that the
banking sector mirrors the large economy. It's linkage to all sector makes it a proxy for what is
happening in the economy as a whole.

Thus, the objective of this study is to analyze and have comparative study of two best performing
joint venture banks (Nabil and Everest), with regard to their operating, financing and investing
activities of last five fiscal years. Again, this means that, this research specifically implies to study
the cash position and the flow of cash of highly performing joint venture banks in different time,
fiscal year and situation, so that the actual cash position of the economy could be identified.

1.1.1 Historical Development of Banking:

If we try to find out the Pioneers of modern banking system we must say something about
Goldsmith. In the 1640 A.D Goldsmith came in the picture, which not only lent money but also
received deposit as well from their customers. And they charged some percentage of interest on
deposit. They accepted as they do on their loan in sense that they protected the properties of
people by accepting them as deposits. People were also anxious for safety purpose. Therefore
they preferred to deposit their money and valuable goods in the safe of the Goldsmith. So this
way Goldsmith became the first to perform a true banking business.

As these society grew and their financial needs became more expending these Goldsmith also
could not fulfill such growing financial needs of the security, then the banking system developed.
And banking system developed differently in different types of society, country and region.

The word "Bank" first came to be known in the middle of 17th century after the establishment of
"Risk Bank" of Sweden in 1656. At that time although there were banking system in many
countries but they were in unorganized way before the establishment of modern bank. Then term
'Bank' was derived from the Latin word 'bancus', which refers to the bunch on which the bankers
keep their money and corresponding records. Before the evolution of commercial banks

2
monetary transaction were monopolized by private dealers, such as the indigenous money
lenders.

We can look safely towards England for tracing the origin of modern banking system. But since
the establishment of first bank in England the banking system has changed its shape
tremendously. It has charged its purpose, way of performing function and many other aspect of
banking principal and practice. The modern banking system was organized from the England but
at the present moment it varies vastly in different countries.

"The Bank of England was established in 1694 by number of merchant of the city of Lo. In those
days the bank's principal function was to help the king of military purpose. The modern banking
institution has been experienced as the most necessary financial institution to accelerate the
notion of the economic growth in all spheres of the economy and maintain the daily business of
economic life in the country. London for the purpose of lending money to King William III, who
required financing his military activities, on the continent of Europe." (Reddy)

It is remarkable fact that any country cannot have good and increasing deal of economic activity
in order to develop its economy in swift way in the absence of a modern banking system because
any development work need a sufficient amount of capital, without capital no development
process proceeds.

A bank provides a number of facilities and can provide an important contribution to develop the
different sectors of the economy accumulating the money scattered in small amount in the
vilages, to formulate capital for its circulation and distribute in needy sectors to establish and run
small, medium, and large scale industry.

1.1.2 Historical Development of Banking in Nepal:

In our history of banking development, we don't find any sort of organized institution at the
earlier days. Although the correct and adequate chronological history is not available due to lack
of authentic historical record in respect of banking, there are plenty of historical evidence to
prove the presence of some kind of banking practices even as early in the 8 th century.

3
According to the Historical records, in 723 A.D Gun Kam Dev, the king of Kathmandu had
borrowed money to rebuilt anti rule Kathmandu. In Nepalese chorine, it is recorded that the new
era known as "Nepal Samsat" was introduced by "Shankhadhar" a merchant from Kantipur in
880 A.D after having paid all the outstanding debt of the country. It clarifies basic of money
lending in ancient Nepal.

In the 14th century, King Jayastiti Malla, Kantipur, had introduced many measures to codify the
laws relating to commercial bank. In these times, a certain group of people called "Tankadhari"
were authorized to deal with money business. They used to lend money against personal
securities or merchandise. They were mainly profit oriented and their number grew by years
resulting in wide spread malpractices and other fraud in society.

Another history example as to the pre-modern banking is found when Rana Prime Minister
Ranodeep was administrating Nepal. During his regime one financial institution by name
Tejarath was established to give loan facilities to the government staff and a afford loan facilities
to the public in general in the term of 5% interest against gold, silver and other valuable
goods."(Shakya)

In 1935, a development agency was constituted under the name of "Udhyog Parisad" which was
responsible for accelerating the development of industrial and commercial activities in the
country.

Further in 1991 B.S for the future welfare of the government staff. It was "Sianik Dravya Kosh".
Before coming into face much more economis difficulties after retirement from his office.

Later on 1994 B.S, when King Tribhuvan inaugurated the first modern commercial bank namely
"Nepal Bank Limited" marked the beginning of a new ere in the history of modern banking in
Nepal. NBL was established in Kathmandu with a great purpose to increase and develop the
agriculture, industry and business smoothly and to solve the problem appeared in commercial
field. Though this bank had to pass through a number of variations, stresses and strains, it has

4
done pioneering work in popularizing modern banking habit and method among the Nepalese
people mainly.

Till 1950, Nepal Bank Limited used to manage apart from commercial functions, all the banking
transaction of the government including the entire business of note exchange due to absence of
center bank. The NBL could not alone meet all credit needs and other demand of growing
economy. At that time Nepalese economy was characterized by the existence of dual currency
(Nepali & Indian) system which was affecting economic stability and development of the nation.
Thus, the need of establishment of the central bank required great urgency. As a result, the year
1956 when the government established Nepal Rastra Bank, as a Central Bank in April 26, 1956
A.D, corresponding Baisakh 14, 2013 B.S, under the Nepal Rastra Bank Act 1955 A.D (2012
B.S) with sole power of issue and other popular central banking function marked another
milestone in the history of growth of banking in Nepal.

In Nepal Industrial Development Corporation (NIDC) was established in 1957 A.D to help
private sector in the field of industry. Besides this for the first time co-operative bank was set up
in 2020 (1964-65) to avail the credit facilities for agriculture development. But the function of
this co-operation bank was very limited. So this bank was converted into Agriculture
Development Bank in 2024. Another milestone in the history of banking system was achieved in
1965 A.D when the second commercial bank was established in public sector. That is the year
1965, Rastriya Banijya Bank was established as a fully government owned commercial bank
with the come up Rastriya Banijya Bank, banking services spread to both urban as well as rural
area but customers failed to have the least of quality/competitive service because of excessive
political and bureaucratic interference and absence of modern managerial concept.

When the government adopted liberal and marked oriented economic policy in the mid 80's
Nepal allowed the entry of foreign capital, technology and experience. In this regard, Nepal Arab
Bank Limited is the first joint venture bank which was established in 2041 B.S under the
commercial Bank Act 2031. With opening of NABIL the door of opening joint venture banks
was opened to the private sector respectively.

5
1.1.3 Concept of Commercial Bank:
Bank is the heart of financial system. Commercial bank is the purveyor of finance for trade and
industry and plays a vital role in the economic and financial life of the country. Bank is the
effective tool to collect saving and mobilize idle resources in productive area. It can play a vital
role in giving direction to economic development over time by financing the requirement of trade
and industry in the country.

" A Commercial Bank is one which exchange money, deposits money, accepts deposits, grants
loan and perform commercial banking function and which is not a bank meant of cooperative,
agriculture, industry or for specific purpose" ( Act 2031).

"Commercial Banks are heart of financial system and they hold deposits of many people,
government establishment and business unit. They make fund available through their lending and
investing activities to borrowers, individual, business firms and services for the producers to
customers and the financial activities of the government. They provide a large portion of the
medium of exchange and they are media through which monetary policy is affected. This fact
shows commercial banking systems of nation are important to the functioning of the economy"
(Reed/ Cotler/ Will/ Smith, 1976).

According to John Holland (1969)" Commercial Banks are financial intermediate that borrow
money from savers in form of deposits and retain those to ultimate borrowers by making loans
on buying securities".

Thus, Commercial Banks are that financial institutions which collect scattered saving of people
and provide loan against proper security for their productive purpose. They provide short term as
well as middle term loan to trade, industry and even to agriculture sector. Moreover, they also
provide technical and administrative assistance to their loan client. The operation of the letter of
credit( L/C) in export and imports, exchange of foreign currency, transfer of payments, issuing of
guarantee and undertaking, providing information on banking and credit worthiness and
maintaining relation and transacting with foreign banks are some of the major roles played by

6
commercial bank in the development of trade and industry in economy. It is said that banks can
provide any services and perform any function to meet the demands of its customers or clients.

1.1.3.1 Development of Commercial Banks in Nepal:

Similarly Rastrya Banijya Bank came into existence in 1966, fully government ownership. When
the government of Nepal adopted liberal and market oriented economic policy in the mid 80's
then Nepal allowed the entry of foreign banks capital, technology and experience. In this regard,
following banks are established after the liberal market policy:-
1. Nepal Arab Bank Ltd set up 2041 B.S under Commercial Bank act 2031 as a first joint
venture bank. Nabil Bank gave a new ray of hope to the sluggish financial sector. The

1.1.3.2 Need of commercial Bank in Nepal

Commercial Bank plays a dynamic role in the economic development of a nation. It may not be
an exaggeration to assert that without the evaluation of commercial banks in 18 th and 19th
centuries industrial revolution would not have occurred in Europe. It is equally true that without
the development of sound commercial bank under-developed countries can not hope to join the
group of advanced country.

8
Nepal is the least developed country of the world and one of the poorest countries of the world
and hence there is necessity of financial institution such as commercial banks. Certainly
commercial banks have become the heart of financial system as they hold the deposit of million
of people, government and business unit, make fund available through their lending and
investing activities to borrowers, individual, business firm and government. Thus, they are the
most important institution of capital formation that implies mainly saving, investment and
production. It is generally known that more saving, more investment and more production.

Moreover, commercial bank also provide commercial help and good administrative suggestion,
safe keeping of valuable collection of bills, cheques, over drafts facilities and provide modern
banking facilities to industries and commerce.

1.1.3.3 Function of Commercial Banks

According to Banks and Financial Institutions Act, 2063 B.S., "The commercial banks provide
short-term debts necessary for the trade and commerce. They accept deposits to provide short-
term loans in different forms. They purchase and discount bills of exchange, promissory note and
exchange foreign currency. They discharge various function on behalf of their customers and in
exchange they are paid for services." In modern world, bank performs variety of function which
are presented as follows:-
1. Accepting Deposit
The first important function of a bank is to accept deposits from those who can save but can not
profitably utilize this saving themselves to attract saving from all sort of individual. The bank
maintains different type of account:-
I. Fixed Deposit Account
Money in these account is deposited for fixed period of time i.e. one, two, or fiscal years and can
not be withdrawn before the expiry of that period. The rate of interest on this account is higher
then other deposit. The longer the period, the higher will be the rate of interest.

9
II. Current Deposit Account
These accounts are generally maintained by the traders and businessman, who have to make a
number of payment everyday. Money from this account can be withdrawn by the depositors at
any time. The rate of interest is extremely low or zero.
III. Saving Deposit Account
The aim of this account is to encourage and mobilize small saving of the public. Certain
restrictions are imposed on the depositors regarding the number of withdraw and the amount to
be withdrawn in a given period. Cheque facility is provided to depositors. The rate of interest is
low.
IV. Recurring Deposit Account
The purpose of these accounts is to encourage regular saving by the public, particularly by the
fixed income group. Generally money in these accounts is deposited in monthly installment for a
fixed period and is repaid to the depositors along with interest on maturity. The rate of interest is
high here.
V. Home Safe Account
Home safe Account is another scheme aiming at promoting saving habits among the people.
Under this scheme a safe is supplied to the depositor to keep it at home and to put his saving in
it. Periodically, the safe is taken to the bank where the amount of safe is credited to his account.
2. Advancing of Loans
The second function the bank is advancing loans to public. After keeping certain cash reserve,
the bank lend their deposits to the needy borrowers. Before advancing loans, banks study about
the credit worthiness of the borrowers. Various types of loan granted by the banks are as
follows:-
I. Money at call
Such loans are very short period loan and can be called back by the banks at a very short notice
of one day to fourteen days.
I. Cash Credit
It is that type of loan, which is given to the borrower against of current assets, such as shares,
stocks, bonds. Such loans are not based on personal security. The bank opens the account on

10
name of borrowers and allows him to withdraw borrowed money from time to time up to certain
limit.
I. Overdraft
Sometimes the banks provide overdraft facilities to the customer through which they are allowed
to withdraw more then their deposits. Interest is change from the customer on the overdrawn
amount.
a. Discounting of Bills of Exchange
This is popular type of lending function of the modern banks. Through this method, a holder of a
bill of exchange can get it discount by the bank in a bill of exchanger the debtor accept the bill
drawn upon him by the creditor and agrees to pay the amount mentioned on maturity. After
making some marginal deduction, the bank gets its payment from the party which had accepted
the bill.
II. Agency Services

different organization. The agency services of banks may involve collection of interest and
dividends on debt and share capital. A bank undertakes to buy and sell securities on behalf of its
customers. It undertakes the payment of subscription, insurance premium, rent etc. It collects
cheque, bill, dividends, interest, pension etc on behalf of the customer. It takes commission for
the services rendered.
III. Credit Creation
It is very important function of the commercial banks. Commercial banks accept deposits and
advance loan. When the bank advances loan, it opens an account to draw the money by cheque
according to their need. By granting loans, the bank creates credit or deposit.
IV. Issuance of Traveler's Cheque
The people traveling outside the country want to reduce the fear of getting money stolen during
the travel. Bank sells the traveler's cheque for overcoming this threat.
V. Remittance Function
Receiving and sending fund to and from various places is the necessity of today's world. The
remittance service of bank has benefited both business and personal customers. Funds transfers

11
VI. Other Function
Some other important function of commercial banks can be explained as below:-

1.1.4 Concept of Joint Venture Banks

"A Joint Venture Bank is joining of forces between two or more enterprises for the purpose of
carrying out a specific operation i.e. industrial and commercial investment production or trade."
(Gupta, 1984)

"A joint venture business involves in equity arrangement between two or more independent
enterprises which result in the creation of new organization entity."
"The existence of foreign joint venture banks has presented an environment for healthy
competitive among the existing commercial banks. The increased competition has led to improve
their quality and has caused an extension of services by simplifying procedures and training."
(Chopra 1990)

The concept of joint venture banks is a new innovation in finance and it is at a growing stage,
mostly in developing countries. The joint venture bank is mutual understanding among two or
more firms then bringing new enterprises in existence.

12
Joint Venture may take place with in the country for one or more reasons:
a). Enable new technology.
b). Reduce high risk into joint venture.
c). Smaller firms joining hands may be able to compete with large organization.
d). Commercialization of domestic technology etc.
Some positive aspects of Joint Venture Banks are:-
a). Increase in highly skilled personal with modern banking technology.
b). Efficient modern banking service.
c). Commercialization of domestic technologies.
d). Advance management skills.
e). Import of technology not available in the country

(The good competition between the banking sector helps to uplift the economic development of
the nation in order to develop the nation. His Majesty Government of Nepal has adopted the
policy of economic liberalization as in the other developed countries and followed the strategy to
establish banking companies in joint venture with the foreign banks, importing the high foreign
technique in our nation. As a result following nine joint venture bank were established in Nepal
upto 2058 B.S. These joint venture bank were providing modern banking facilities)

In Nepal the history of joint venture bank is not very old. About venture banks in Nepal, Nepal
Arab Bank Limited was the 1st joint venture bank established in 29th Ashad 2041. Joint Venture
Bank Act 2031 B.S which is the backbones for the economic development of the country.Now it
is under the "Banks and Financial Institutions act,2063." Besides this joint venture bank have
been also creating competition for local banks by making then dart to perform their operation
smoothly. Joint Venture banks of Nepal own better position then commercial banks in term of
profit making.

1.1.4.1 Development of Joint Venture Bank in Nepal:
"HMG's deliberate policy of allowing foreign JVB's to operate in Nepal is basically targeted to
encourage local traditionally run commercial banks to enhance their balanceable capacity
through competition efficiency, modernization via computerization and promote customer
service."(Shrestha)

The foreign joint venture banks with full-fledged banking functions in Nepal are formed under
the company Act 2021 B.S and operated the government introduced financial sector reform.
Nepal allowed the entry of foreign banks as joint venture with up to a maximum of 50% equity
participation.

The joint venture bank have been established for trading to achieve mutual exchange of goods
and services, for sharing comparative advantages by performing joint investment schemes
between Nepalese investor, financial and non-financial institution as well as private investors
and their parent banks.

All joint venture banks in Nepal are experienced to be the medium of economic development and
upliftment the business or trade, industries and community. All the Nepalese joint venture banks
established and operated under the rules, regulation and guidance of Nepal Rastra Bank.

1.1.4.2 Features of Joint Venture Bank's in Nepal are:-

 To provide new services.
 To create competition investment.
 To introduce new method and technology in banking.
 To provide more resources for investment.

1.1.4.3 Role and Function of Joint Venture Bank

"At present most of joint venture bank are operating in financial sector especially in banking,
finance, insurance and leasing etc. But the same challenge can be taken by domestic banks as an
opportunity to modernize themselves and sharp their competitive jealous".

15
Joint Venture Bank has a serious challenge to the existence of the inefficient native banks. But
the same challenge can be taken as opportunities by domestic banks to modernize themselves
and sharpen their competitive jealous. It is true that joint venture banks are already playing an
increasing dynamic and vital role in the economic development of the nation.

a. Banking Technique
The joint venture banks in Nepal bags the credit for the new banking technique, such as
hypothecation and syndication under guidance of NRB. Other areas of the joint venture bank
have created a competitive environment in banking business in Nepal. Prior to the arrival of joint
venture bank there were little competitive zeal between NBL as they had almost set the bunch of
customer, working area and services. This competitive environment will benefit the common
man, businessman and industry and the country as a whole. The increased competition forced to
extend service by simplifying procedures and by training, motivating their own staff to the new
challenges.

Exporters are forward cover for foreign exchange transaction by importer and exporter.
Merchant banking, inter bank market for money and securities arranging foreign currency loans
etc. These and other techniques in the international banking system have been introduced to
Nepal by these foreign joint venture banks.

b. Creating Competitive Environment

c. Foreign Investment
Joint Venture Banks have played an important role in attracting foreign investment by
familiarizing the foreign investors i.e. (multinational companies and other business organization)
with the relevant Nepalese financial rules regulations and practices through their publication.

d. Providing New Services

Even though the joint venture banks so far has not provided any remarkable new services that
was not offered by the domestic bank they have drawn a large number of customer who assume

16
that they will eventually benefit from their association with these banks when they introduce new
services. At present, speeder services then that of the domestic banks in the half mark of the joint
venture banks through their services are basically in traditional areas which could highly educate
for the domestic banks.

e. Offering better links with international market

The Joint Venture Banks are usually better place to raise resources internationally for viable
project to developing country like Nepal mainly due to their creditability in and easier access to
international market

1.1.5 Introduction of Sample Organization under Study.

For this study two highly performing Joint Venture Banks will be taken as sample organization.
The study will be focused on the cash flow analysis of the joint venture banks and size, growth
of financial operating and investing activities of the vary bank. For the purpose of introduction of
the selected banks the researcher tends to introduce the sample banks as follows:-

1.1.5.1 Brief Introduction of Nabil Bank Limited.

1.2 Banks and Economic Development

The primary goal of any country, like Nepal, is rapid economic development to promote the
welfare of the people and the nation as well. Nepal is trying to embark upon the path of
economic development by economic growth rate and developing the sector of economy. So, the
process of economic development depends upon capital formulation and its utilization plays a
paramount role. The increase in capital has always been a sort of prime mover in the process of
material growth and the rate, if capital formulation has been the principal variable insetting the
overall pace of economy. In this regard, the network of well-organized financial system of the
country has great bear. It collects scattered financial resources from the masses and invest them
among those engaged in economic and commercial activity of the country. In this regard bank
plays a vital role in accelerating the economic development of country. The commercial banking
system in Nepal is still its infant stage as compared to other developed countries. However, the
role of banks in economic as well as industrial development and promotion of agriculture
industry trade and commerce is immense. Bank is also playing a social role by providing loans
in priority sectors, cottage and small-scale industries, production, credit for rural women,

24
deprived sector credit program, micro credit program, etc. Beside this, it has been providing
necessary financial and technical support to develop national economy.

1.3 Focus of the Study

After the introduction of banking Reformation Policy in 1980, government took step toward
economic liberalization. Government allowed foreign bank to operate banking activities as a
joint venture with domestic investors up to 50% equity participation.

JVBs have done much to open new frontier of economic development of our country. These
banks have introduced new banking technologies, mechanism and methodology.
In the light of competitive modern Banking environment, our major focus of study will be to
measure the financial, operating and investing performance. And rest focus will be on the
following specific research questions/ problem.

b. What are the factor hindering the efficiency of joint venture banks?
c. What are the major problems of the banks to maintain a better cash flow analysis?

1.4 Statement of the Problem

The opened and liberal economic policy towards the banking sector of the government of Nepal
initiated many joint venture banks and finance companies, rural banks, financial co-operative
institution in Nepal. The rapid growth of financial institution has led a sharp competition among
each other. Although joint venture banks have been managing for better performance than other
local commercial banks within short span of time, they have been facing cut throat competition
from other commercial banks. They have been facing neck to neck competition among each
other and are taking advantages of weakness and inefficient of domestic commercial banks.

Nabil Bank Limited and Everest Bank Limited also face these types of problems, even though
they have been able to make profit. In fact, efficient cash flow management is a mirror of
weakness and strength of the banks. A strong joint venture bank can contribute to national
economy and also attract to future foreign investors in this sector. Therefore, cash statement
should fully be observed to find out whether the bank is economically and tactfully as well as
financially strong or not.

 CHAPTER-II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE

This accounting system is latest and result oriented tool in accountancy which shows the cash in
and out flow as well as the position of cash, also plays vital role to take decision in managing
cash in the following period. The first part consists of conceptual framework and the remaining
parts consists the review of report, articles, journal and dissertation.

2.1 Theoretical Review of Cash Flow Analysis.

Cash Flow Analysis is the process of monitoring, analyzing and adjusting of any business' cash
flow. It won't be able to stay in business if the bills can't be paid for any extended length of time!

Therefore, it is needed to perform a cash flow analysis on a regular basis, and use cash flow
forecasting so we can take the necessary steps to head off cash flow problem. Many software
accounting program have built-in reporting feature that makes cash flow analysis easy. This is
the first step of cash flow analysis.

The second step of cash flow analysis is to develop and use strategies that will maintain an
adequate cash flow for any business. One of the most useful strategies for banking business is to
shorten the cash flow conversion period so that the business can bring in money faster.

Today, cash flow is still lifeblood of every business. Like it or not, cash is how business keeps
score. If a business doesn't have enough cash on hand, it can't pay its suppliers or financers.
Without sufficient cash, it will go out of business soon enough.

Cash flow is the flow of spend able money into a business and back out again. Managing the
cash flow can be a tricky business, and business policies regarding, for examples, to extend
credit to the customer, number of customer, and how quickly they pay, all can combine to make

30
it too complex to track. When it gets this complicated, smart business manager turns to
computerized tools to help them get a handle on the process, the risks, and the opportunity.

Important things to be considered in cash flow analysis:

 Optimize the cash flow analysis for both receipts and payments.
 Accelerate the collection of remittances and improve control of disbursements.
 Successfully invest excess funds in short-term instruments.
 Understand the account analysis statement.

2.2 Cash Flow Statement

In financial accounting, a cash flow statement or statement of cash flow is a financial statement
that shows a company's incoming and outgoing money (sources and uses of cash) during a time
period (often monthly or quarterly or yearly). The statement shows how changes in balance sheet
and income accounts affects cash and cash equivalent, and breaks the analysis down according to
operating, investing, and financing activities. As an analytical tool the statement of cash flows is
useful in determining the short-term viability of a company, particularly its ability to pay bills.
International Accounting Standard 7 (IAS 7) is the International Accounting Standard that deals
with cash flow statement.

Accounting personnel are those who need to know whether the organization will be able to cover
payroll and other immediate expenses. Potential lenders or creditors are those who want a clear
picture of company's ability to repay. Potential investors are those who need to judge whether the
company is financially sound. Potential employees are contractors those who need to know
whether the company will be able to afford compensation.

The cash flow statement was previously known as the statement of changes in financial position
or flow of funds statement. The cash flow statement reflects a firm's liquidity or solvency.

The balance sheet is a snapshot of a firm's financial resources and obligations at a single point in
time, and the income statement summarizes a firm's financial transactions over an interval of

31
time. These two financial statements reflect the accrual basis accounting used by firms to match
revenues with the expenses associated with generating those revenues. The cash flow statement
includes only inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents; it excludes transaction that does
not directly affect cash receipts and payments. These non cash transaction includes depreciation
and write-off on bad debts. The cash flow statement is a cash basis report on three types of
financial activities: operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. Non-cash
activities are usually reported in footnotes.

2.3 Objectives and Importance of Cash Flow Statement

The cash flow statement is intended to:
 To provide information on a firm's liquidity and solvency and is ability to change
cash flows in future circumstances.
 To provide additional information for evaluating changes in assets, liabilities and
equity.
 To improve the comparability of different firm's operating performances by
eliminating the effects of different accounting methods.
 To indicate the amount, timing and probability of future cash flows.
 To evaluate the state or performances of a business or project.
 To determine problem with liquidity. Being profitable does not necessarily mean
being liquid. A company can fail because of a shortage of cash, even while being
profitable.
 To generate project rate of return. The time of cash flows into and out of project
are used as inputs to financial models such as internal rate of return, and net
present value.
 To examine income or growth of a business when it is believed that accrual
accounting concepts do not represents economic realities. Alternatively, cash flow
can be used to 'validate' the net income generated by accrual accounting.

The cash flow statement has been adopted as a standard financial statement because it eliminates
allocations which might be derived from different accounting methods, such as various time
frames for depreciating fixed assets.

32
2.4 Benefits from using Cash Flow Statement
The cash flow statement is one among the four main financial statement of a company. The cash
flow statement can be examined to determine the short-term sustainability of a company. If cash
is increasing (and operational cash flow is positive), then a company will often be deemed to be
healthy in the short-term. Increasing or stable cash balance suggests that a company is able to
meet its cash needs, and remain solvent. This information cannot always be seen in the income
statement or the balance sheet of a company. For instance, a company may be generating profit,
but still have difficulty in remaining solvent.

The cash flow statement breaks the sources of cash generation into three sections: operational
cash flows, investing cash flows and financing cash flows. This breakdown allows the user of
financial statement to determine where the company is driving its cash for operations. For
example, a company may be notionally profitable but generating little operational cash (as may
be the case for a company that barters its products rather than selling for cash). In such a case,
the company may be deriving additional operating cash by issuing shares, or raising additional
debt finance.

Companies that have announced significant write downs of assets, particularly goodwill, may
have substantially higher cash flow that the announced earning would indicate. In certain cases,
cash flow statement may allow careful analysis to detect problem that would not be evident from
the other financial statement alone. Use of one measure of cash flow would potentially have
detected that there was no change in overall cash flow (including capital investment).

2.5 Cash Flow from Various Activities

The cash flow statement is categorized into cash flow resulting from operating activities, cash
flow resulting from investing activities and cash flow resulting from financial activities.

1. Cash Flow from Operating Activities (CFFOE)

The amount of cash flows arising from operating activities is a key indicator of the extent to
which the operations of the enterprise have generated sufficient cash flow to repay loans,

33
maintain the operating capability of enterprises, pay dividends and make new investments
without resource to external sources of financing. Information about the specific components of
historical operating cash flow is useful, in conjunction with other information, in forecasting
future operating cash flows. Cash flows from operating activities are primarily derived from the
principal revenue producing activities of the enterprise. Therefore, they generally result from the
transactions and other events that enter into the determination of net profit or loss. Examples of
cash flow from operating activities are:
a. Cash receipts from the sale of goods and rendering the services;
b. Cash receipts from royalties, fees, commission and other revenues;
c. Cash payment to suppliers for goods and services;
d. Cash payment to behalf of employees;
e. Cash receipt and cash payments of an insurance enterprise for premium and claims,
annuities and other policy benefits;
f. Cash payment or refund of income taxes unless they can be specifically identified
with financing and investing activities; and
g. Cash receipts and payments from contracts held for dealing or trading purposes.

Some transaction, such as the sale of an item of plant, may give rise to a gain or loss, which is
included in the determination of net profit, or loss. However, the cash flows relating to such
transaction are cash flows from investing activities.

There are two kinds of flows of cash in every activities of a firm. They are inflows and outflows
of cash. To receive cash from any source is called cash inflows and to pay or disburse cash to
any use is known as cash outflows. Operating activities relate to a company's primary revenue
generating activities. It is the single major continuing source of cash. Operating activities are
always within the management control and they provide base for management estimation of fund
needed to rise from available sources. Cash flow from operating activities is generally cash
effects of transactions and economic events of included in the determination of income. There
are two parts of operating activities.

2. Cash Flow from Investing Activities (CFFIA)

The separate discourse of cash flows arising from investing activities is important because the
cash flows represents the extent to which expenditure have been made for resources intended to
generate future income and cash flows. Examples of cash flows arising from investing activities
are: -
I. The cash payments to acquire property, plant and equipment, intangibles and other long
term assets. These payments include those relating to capitalized development costs and
self-constructed property, plant and equipment.

39
 II. Cash receipts from sales of property, plant and equipment, intangibles and other long-
term assets.
III. Cash payment to acquire equity or debt instrument of other enterprises and interest in
joint venture (other than payment for those instruments considered to be cash equivalent
or those held for dealing or trading purposes)
IV. Cash receipts from sales of equity or debt instrument of other enterprises and interest in
joint venture (other than receipt for those instruments considered to be cash equivalent or
those held for dealing or trading purposes)

classified as financing activities.
VII. Cash receipts from future contracts, forward contracts, option contracts and swap contract
except contract when the contracts are held for dealing or trading purposes, or the
receipts are classified as financing activities.

To prepare the statement of cash flow for investing activities the following inflows and outflows
are taken into consideration in joint venture banks: -
A. Cash Outflows
 Decrease in bank balance
 Decrease in money at call and short notice
 Decrease in investment
 Decrease in fixed assets
 Decrease in other assets
 Decrease in cash or cash equivalent is receive from related source

40
  Increase in fixed assets
 Other assets
 Increase in cash or cash equivalent is payment made to related uses

Cash inflows and outflows from investment are shown by not presenting separately. These two
show as changes in investment as positive sign and negative sign. These amounts are calculated
by comparing balance sheets of current year with previous year. If there is seen increase, it
indicates the outflow of cash and if there is seen decrease, it indicates cash received. The main
sources/uses of cash flows and cash outflows are as given below: -

a. Bank balance in local as well as foreign currency

 Current account and other accounts in Nepal Rastra Bank and other local banks

The Cash Flow Statement is prepared on the basic of cash. While calculating operating profit of
Cash Flow Statement, adjustment for prepaid and outstanding expenses and income are made to
convert the data from accrual basis to cash basis. The statement is prepared by taking the
opening cash balance, adding to this all the outflows of cash from the total. The statement is

44
more useful for short-term analysis and cash planning of the business. Cash Flow Statement
shows the sources and application of cash. Following are the major sources and uses of cash: -

There are two approaches to prepare Cash Flow Statement
A. Accounting Approach
B. Informative Approach
A. Accounting Approach to Cash Flow Statement
Under this approach the preparation of Cash Flow Statement involves the following steps:-

approach in activity format. There are two method of preparing a cash flow statement: - direct
method and indirect method. Among these two method direct method of preparing a cash flow
statement results in a more easily understood report. The indirect method is almost universally
used.
Cash Flow Statement: Direct Method
The direct method for creating a cash flow statement report major classes of gross cash receipts
and payment, dividends received may be reported under operating activities, they are reported

47
under operating activities; if the taxes are directly linked to investing activities or financing
activities, they are reported under investing or financing activities.

Cash Flow Statement: Indirect Method

The indirect method uses net income as a starting point, makes adjustments for all transactions
for non-cash items, then adjusts for all cash-based transactions. An increase in an asset account is
subtracted from net income, and an increase in a liability account is added back to net income.
This method converts accrual-basis net income (loss) into cash flow by using a series of
additional and deductions.

2.8 Literature Review:
This section deals about concept or finding of earlier scholars on the concerned field of the
study. It helps to develop the study as link in a chain of research that is developing and emerging
the knowledge about the related field.

Review of Books
Cash is the life blood of any business organization. Without cash no business activities can be
taken place. In recent years, the statement of cash flow has come to be viewed as a part of full set
of financial statement. Cash flow statement provides relevant information about the cash receipts
and cash payments of an enterprise during a period. Information about enterprises cash flow is
useful in assessing its liability, financial flexibility, profitability and risk. Cash flow information
is widely used by investors, analysts, creditors, managers and others.

The balance sheet provides information about the assets of an enterprise and how these assets
have been financed by owned and borrowed funds at a certain time but it does not explain the
changes during a period in assets, liabilities and owner’s equity resulting from an enterprise’s
activities. The profit and loss statement provides information about an enterprise’s financial
performance during a specific period but earnings are measured by accrual accounting, it does
not show cash generated through its operation.
(Gyawali A., Fago G. & Subedi D.)

The statement of cash flows is an important complement to the other major financial statement. It
summarizes the operating, investing and financing activities of a business over a period of time.
The balance sheet summarizes the cash on hand and the balances in other assets, liabilities and
owners' equity accounts, providing a snapshot at a specific point in time. The statement of cash
flows report the changes in cash over a period of time and, most important explains these
changes.

The income statement summarizes performance on a accrual basis. Income on this basis is
considered a better indicator of future cash inflows and outflows than is a statement limited to
current cash flow. The statement of cash flows complements the accrual-based income statement
by allowing users to assess a company's performance on a cash basis.
(Porter & Norton, 3rd Edition, 585)

56
Cash is the life blood of a business enterprise. It is the fuel that keeps a business alive. Without
cash not activities can take place. so a business must have an adequate amount of cash to operate.
As such the decision makers must pay close attention to the firm's cash position and event and
transaction that affect/cause cash position to change. The analysis of the events and transaction
that effect the cash position of the company is termed as cash flow analysis.

Information about cash flow is useful in many ways. It cash also influence the decision maker in
many ways. Decision makers may be: investors, creditors and management.

Investors have to decide whether to provide credit facility or not, to the given company.
Information about cash flow can help creditors decide whether a company will have enough cash
to pay the debts as they mature.

Management has to evaluate whether the company has ability to meet unexpected obligations
and ability to take advantages of new business opportunities that may arise. And for this, the
management has to use cash flow analysis.

Due to increase importance of cash flow analysis to the decision makers, the Financial
Accounting Standard Board (FASB) stated that the financial statement of the company should
include information about:
 How a business obtains and spends cash?
 Its borrowing and repayment activities.
 The sales and repurchase of its ownership securities.
 Dividend payment and other distributions to its owners, and
 Other factor those affect a company's liquidity and solvency.
(Munankarmi, 2003, 13.1)
Cash Flow Statement is somewhat similar to funds flow statement. The funds flow statement
includes both cash and accrual based figure, whereas cash flow statement attempts to report only
cash movement. It is called Cash Flow Statement because it describes the sources and uses of
cash. It also provides information about the inflow and outflow of cash of a company in as

57
accounting period. It can thus be defined as a statement which explains the change in cash
position from one balance sheet date to the next balance sheet date.

The Institution of Cost and Work Accountants of India defines cash flow statement as "a
statement setting out the flow of cash under distinct heads of source of funds and their utilization
to determine the requirement of cash during the given period and to prepare for its adequate
provision."

The statement which report cash flow during the period classified by operating, investing and
financing activities is known as Cash Flow Statement. For this purpose of cash flow statement
cash means cash and cash equivalent. FASB has also defined "Cash" as including both cash and
cash equivalent. Cash equivalent are short term highly liquid investments, such as money market
funds, commercial papers and treasury bills. Cash equivalent should not be confused with
marketable securities. So they are not included in cash. They are treated as cash inflow and cash
outflow. Purchase of marketable securities is treated as outflow and sales are treated as inflow on
the cash flow statement.
(Ratna Man Dangol, 1st Edition 2059)

How much cash is generated by business operation? How much cash is spent for current and non
current assets? Where did the company get cash for expenditure? How did the company become
able to pay dividend? These entire questions are some examples raised by the financial statement
users. The balance sheet, income statement and statement of shareholder's equity do not answer
all these question raised by the users of financial statement. For such, cash flow statement
answers these questions. Cash flow statement describes the source and uses of cash of an
organization. It provides information about the inflow and outflow of cash of a firm in an
accounting period. It can thus be defined as a statement which explains the change in cash
position from one balance sheet date to the next balance sheet date.

The statement which report cash flow during the period classified by operating, investing and
financing activities is known as cash flow statement. Cash flow are inflow and outflow of cash

58
and cash equivalent. Cash equivalent are short term highly investment, such as money market
funds, commercial papers and treasury bills.
(Dangol and Dangol 2064, 654)

Review of Article
The effort has been made in this present section to examine and review some related articles
published in different economic journal, Bulletins, magazines and newspaper.

Mr. S.P Munakarmi in his article called cash flow analysis: It is an integrated part of "Financial
Planning", stated the importance of cash in the organization by calling it lifeblood of business
enterprises. According to him it is the fuel that keeps the business alive. So a business must have
an adequate amount of cash to operate. Decision makers should pay attention to the firm's cash
position and events and transaction that affects the position of cash. Analysis of events and
transaction that effects the position of company is termed as cash flow analysis.

Due to the increasing importance of cash flow analysis accounting standard board stated that
financial statement should include information about how a business obtains and spends cash
about its borrowing and repayment activities about the sales and repurchase of its ownership
securities about dividend payment and other distribution to its owner and about other factors that
affects a company's liquidity and solvency.

According to the article profit are accounting measures that may not reflect the economic
realities of the firm that means profit can be manipulated and increasing profit will not always
result in higher stock prices. Cash flow analysis not only recognizes profit but it also goes a little
further and measures the actual cash available for the time. After all it is the available cash not
the profit that determines the firm's future investment and growth.

As the article stated further that recognizing the importance of cash flow analysis, Financial
Accounting Standard Board issued financial statement standard no.95 and statement of cash
flows in November 1987. This standard requires the business to include a statement of cash
flows in all financial report that contains balance sheet and income statement. The IAS has also

59
replaced FASB and asked its entire member to present cash flow statement along with the
balance sheet and income statement since 1992. As the article suggested following are the
importance of cash flow statement.

Investment activities as the article stated include the lending money (investment) and collecting
on loans buying and selling of productive assets that are expected to generate revenue in the
future and buying and selling securities not classified as cash equivalent are defined as short
term, highly liquid investment that are readily convertible to know amount of cash and must be
sufficient close to its maturity date. Determinations of cash flow from investing activities
requires the analysis of non-current items of comparative balance sheets, additional information
and non cash expenses non-operating incomes and expenses, statement relating to assets,
investment in shares and debenture, short term investment other than cash equivalent.

Net cash from financing activities are determined by the flow of short term loans and overdrafts.
There may be some non cash investing and financing payment and such payments are not
reported in the statement of cash flow. The FASB concluded that non cash portions of investing
and financing activities should not be reported on the statement of cash flow. However, the board
recognized that non cash investing and financing activities are important events and so they
should be disclosed by preparing a separate schedule for such activities.

As per the format of cash flow statement the article stated further that section seven of Nepal
Company Act 2053 mentions the company's books of accounts and accounting system to be
adopted by the company. Article 83 of the Act is related to annual a financial reporting statement
which includes balance sheets income statement and cash flow statement, and article 84 of the
act mentioned that the balance sheet and profit and loss account should be prepared in the
prescribed format, but the cash flow statement is not prescribed by the FASB.

The article concluded that an accrual cash flow projection being an integral part of financing
plan helps to avoid cash flow problem and also helps to keep borrowing costs as low as possible.

2.9 Review of Previous Thesis
Mr. Saroj Acharya, M.B.S, 2008, Nepal Commerce Campus. Thesis, "Cash Flow Management
of Commercial Banks". According to his research curtailing should be reduced and healthy
competition in the financial market should be promoted, interest rate should be sufficient,
amount from remittance should be legalized, branches of the banks should be extended, cash
flow related information should be published in financial report or in annual report and research
and development entity should be established to facilitate the banks.

Mr. Sarada Shrestha, M.B.S, 2006, Nepal Commerce Campus. Thesis, "Performance
Measurement of Joint Venture Banks in Nepal". According to his research the banks should
increase and attract deposit. He also recommends that the banks should invest more in
Government Securities. Furthermore, he adds the bank should extend their branches to generate
more cash flow.

Mr. Amit Shrestha, M.B.S, 2006, Nepal Commerce Campus. Thesis," Analytical and
Comparative Study on Cash Flow of Joint Venture Banks in Nepal". According to his research
commercial banks should increase their CFFOA. He also suggest that the banks should not cartel
in deposit or should not collect excess deposit then they can invest or use it to increase the
surplus in cash flow. He also recommends that the banks should extend their market and
branches.

Miss. Sunity Shrestha, M.B.S, 2052, Thribhuvan University. Thesis, "Lending Operating of
Commercial Banks in Nepal and its impact on GDP". According to her thesis she has showed
that there had been positive impact on GDP by lending of commercial banks in various sector of
economy except thorough service sector investment.

2.10 Research Gap

Former researcher tends to be more informal to find out the actual cash management and cash
flow position and performances of joint venture banks. As we see in their research we can see
that they have only mentioned the increasing and decreasing trend of heading in cash flow
statement. The flow of financial information was not analyzed properly. Analysis of cash flow is

61
not sufficient by only analyzing the information in the cash flow statement, it would be better to
be more wide visional to find out the actual performance of banks in terms of cash flow. Finding,
conclusion and recommendation were not based on specific study they had conducted. We can
easily know that the studies were conducted without using any financial or analytical tools which
obviously help the researcher to reach the significant conclusion and recommendation. Another
vital thing is that the previous researcher had not collected primary data to analyze the cash
position in the banks and financial institutions.

But in this research, the researcher tends to use several financial tools to specific analyze the
cash flow performance of the listed high performing joint venture bank. In this research we can
get credit, investment, deposit, liquidity, expenditure, income and capital related cash position of
the banks, and most of the tools cover the cash flow statement and all the financial cash
information of the banks each year. The researcher also tends to conduct primary data collection
activities to find out liquidity position or problem in banks and financial institutions in Nepalese
financial market. The findings, conclusion and recommendation are based on the actual result
found out from the study.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter describes the methodology applied in this study. Research methodology is a way to
systematically solve the research problem. In other words research methodology describes the
method processes applied in the entire aspect of the study. this chapter describes research design,
population, sampling procedure and sources of data and analysis of data.

3.1 Research Design

Research design is the plan structure and strategy of investigation. Present study follows the
descriptive as well as analytical statistics of the analysis to meet the stated objectives of the
study. This study analyzes cash flow management of Nabil Bank Ltd. and Everest Bank Ltd. on
the basis of descriptive and analytical research design. Descriptive studies were primarily
concerned to find out 'What is'. The secondary data are analyzed from the data collected from the
annual financial report of the related banks. Few financial statement of selected joint venture
banks were tabulated using a spread sheet.

Sources of Data
To conduct any research, data collection is the major tack and to conduct any study of primary as
well as secondary data have been used but this thesis is mainly based on secondary data. The
secondary data collected that supports this thesis are listed below:-
 Annual Report of Nabil Bank Ltd. and Everest Bank Ltd.
 Bulletin and Report of NRB
 Economic ordinances of issued by the government of Nepal.
 Non-published Thesis's written by university students.
 Other reports, journal, books.
 Websites and Bulletin of commercial banks.
 www.nabilbank.com and www.everest bank.com

63
 Population and Sample of Research Design
A small portion chosen form the population for studying its properties is called a sample and the
number of units in the sample is known as sample size. The method of selecting for study, a
small portion of population to draw conclusion about characteristics of the population is know as
sampling. Sampling may be defined as the selection of part of the population on the basis of
which a judgment or inference about the universe is made.
(Sharma and Chaudhary, 2058 171-173)

Here only two sample joint venture banks are taken out of total joint venture banks. For selecting
the samples, non-random sampling method is used here among different method. The samples
are taken only from joint venture banks. Organization under study is as follows, whose general
introduction and major objectives are presented in chapter one. The sample organizations are as
follows:-
Nabil Bank Limited
Everest Bank Limited

Likewise, financial statement of five years (beginning 2004/5 to 2008/9) is selected as samples
for the purpose of it.

3.4 Secondary Data Collection Techniques

Most of the secondary data and information has been collected form the financial report
published by the banks in their annual report each year. Cash Flow Statement, balance sheet,
income statements, credit statements, investment statements, deposit statements and capital
statements are the statements which have been used broadly in this study. Some of the statements
published in the financial report as annual report of the banks are attached back side of this thesis
in the appendix column.

3.5 Method, Tools and Techniques Employed

64
To analyze and interpret the financial data of Nabil Bank Ltd. and Everest Bank Ltd, various
financial and statistical tools and techniques are used in the study. the cash flow statement can be
evaluated by using tools like financial and statistical; a brief discussion of these tools is as
follows:-

3.5.1 Financial Tools (Concepts)

The cash flow analysis is the most powerful part of cash flow management. To analyze cash flow
statement is an important tool. All the out flows and inflows of cash with a financial institution
or an organization during period presented in a statement. Which statement is different in format
relating to operating activities? The cash flow statement helps to ascertain cash flow condition of
a firm. It is a process of identifying the cash flow strengths and weakness of a firm.

Cash flow statement of an enterprise is useful in providing information to the users of financial
statement about the ability of the enterprise to generate cash and cash equivalent and the need of
the enterprise to utilize those cash flows. Its aims and objective are mentioned below:-
a. Cash flow statement will help the financial manager to explain the situation of sufficient
cash balance is hand despite the business incurred loss or short or cash even if the
business is making huge amount of profit.
b. Comparison between cash flow statements may prove to be useful for the management
for preparing cash budget for the period to come.
c. With the help of cash flow statement, the management can find out the causes of changes
in the cash position on two or more date.
d. Evaluation of financial policies can be done with the help of cash flows statement.
e. As the cash flow statement helps the management to know and predict its cash position it
can plan its policy and make decision regarding the redemption of debentures. Purchase
of fixed assets and so on.

3.5.2 Statistical Tools

The following statistical tools are selected for the cash flow study of Nabil Bank Ltd. and
Everest Bank Ltd:-

65
I. Arithmetic Mean
Arithmetic mean is the typical values around which other items of distribution congregate
(Gupta, 2002:236).

II. Time series Analysis (Trend Analysis)

Trend analysis is one of the most useful statistical tools to analyze the presented data. It is used
for studying forecasting. Trend analysis of ratio indicates the change over a period of time. Trend
analysis informs about the expected future return, future achievement of the bank and future
credit worthiness of the bank. Financial capability about bank would be helpful to concerned
bank. Trend analysis is very effective information for various personnel directly or indirectly
related with bank. In this study the method of least square is selected as a statistical tool for the
analysis of bank.

A widely and most commonly used method to describe the trend is the method of least square.
The straight-line trend is given by following formula:

66
Y = a+bx
Where,
Y = values of dependent variables
a = y intercept
b = slope of the trend line
x = values of independent variable (time)

"The straight-line trend implies that irrespective of the seasonal and cyclical swing and irregular
fluctuation, the trend value increases or decreases by a constant absolute amount 'b' per unit of
time. Hence, the liner trend values from a series in arithmetic progression, the common
difference being 'b' the slop of the line". (Gupta 2002: 769)

3.6 Practice of Cash Flow Statement

Cash Flow Statement: Financial document detailing the exchange of cash between a business and
the outside world. The flow is categorized as:
 Flow "in" from Operation
(Cash which the company made by selling good and services)
 Flow "in" from Financing
(Cash which the company raised by selling stocks and bonds)
 Flow "out" to Investment
(Cash which the company spent investing in its future growth)

Each of these flows can actually flow both ways. Investors like to see that the company can
cover its spending with cash from operations, without having to turn to financing. The cash flow
statement also has to reconcile the net effect of these flows with the difference in its cash holding
at the beginning and end dates of the reporting period.

3.7 Cash Flow Statement as Per International Accounting Standard

Cash basis financial statements were common before accrued basis financial statement. The
"flow of funds" statements of the past were cash flow statements.

67
In the United States in 1971, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) defined rules that
made it mandatory under Generally Accepted Accounting Principal (US GAPP) to report sources
and uses of funds, but the definition of "funds" was not clear. "Net working capital" might be
cash or might be the difference between current liabilities and current assets. From the late 1970
to the mid-1980s, the FASB discussed the usefulness of predicting future cash flows. In 1987,
FASB Statement No. 95 (FAS 95) mandated that firms provide cash flow statement. In 1992, the
international Accounting Standard Board issued International Accounting Standard 7 (IAS 7),
Cash Flow Statements, which became effective in 1994, mandating that firms provide cash flow
statements. (www.wikipedia.com)

US GAAP and IAS 7 rules for cash flow statements are similar. Differences include:
a. IAS 7 requires that the cash flow statement include changes in both cash and cash
equivalent. US GAAP permits using cash alone or cash and cash equivalent.
b. IAS 7 permits bank borrowings (overdraft) in certain countries to be included in cash
equivalent rather than being considered a part of financing activities.
c. IAS 7 allows interest paid to be included in operating activities or financing activities. US
GAAP requires that interest paid be included in operating activities.
d. US GAAP (FAS 95) requires that when the direct method is used to present the operating
activities of the cash flow statement, a supplemental schedule must also present a cash
flow statement using the indirect method. The IASC strongly recommends the direct
method but allows either method. The IASC considers the indirect method less clear to
users of financial statements. Cash flow statements are most commonly prepared using
the indirect method, which is not especially useful in projecting future cash flows.
(www.wikipedia.com)

3.8 Financial Statement

Financial Statement are organized summaries of certain time period detailed financial
transaction, position and performance of an organization. Beside cash flow statement, financial
statements analyzed in this study are:

68
Balance Sheet
It is an accounting report which shows the actual figure of quality of assets and share holders
fund/capital, and total liabilities within certain accounting time of period of an organization.
Comparative Balance Sheet of the selected commercial banks within the study period are
presented differently to observe the comparative changes in the figure of their balance sheet.

Income Statement
It is an accounting report which shows the total revenue and expenditure with total profit or loss
of certain accounting time of period of an organization.

 CHAPTER-IV

PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS OF DATA

This chapter of study presents the data and facts, which is related to different aspects of Nabil
Bank Limited and Everest Bank Limited. The included data is collected from various sources.
Specially, from annual report of the related banks and Websites. These available data tabulated
analyzed and interpreted so that cash inflows and outflows of banks cab be done ealily . The
main objectives of analyzing the cash flow analysis to the management presenting to cash flow
statement and interpretation is to highlight the strength and weakness of the business. The
collected data are interpreted and analyzed by using the financial and statistical tools.

4.1 Cash Flow Analysis:

Cash flow is the blood of business enterprise. Without cash no activities can take place, even
though, as a commercial bank must have an adequate amount of cash to operate. As such the
decision-makers must pay close attention to the firm’s cash position and events and transactions
that effects cash position to change. The analysis of the events and transactions that effects the
cash position of the company is termed as cash flow analysis. Information about cash flow is
useful in many ways. It can also influence the decision-makers in many ways. Decision-makers
may be investors, creditors and management.

Cash flow analysis not only recognizes the profit but it goes a little further and measures the
actual cash available for the firm. It is after all, the available cash not the profit that determines
the firm’s further investment and growth. Cash flow has earning potential and has captured the
economic impact of the managerial decision. Cash flow, not the profit that determines the
wealth.

70
4.1.1 Cash flow Statement :
Cash flow analysis is done through statements of cash flows. A cash flow statement of a
company’s ability to generate cash from various activities such as operating, investing and
financing and their need of such cash. It is a statement which shows the inflows and outflows of
cash and cash equivalent during the year. A cash flow statement is defined as a statement of
company’s ability to generate cash from various activities and their need of cash. This study is
totally related to cash flow statement to analyze the cash flow management of selected joint
venture banks. Al the data are presented and analyzed in cash flow statement, which is presented
and analyzed through many parts. To make the study easier the cash flow statement can be
derived into three parts. In this study, the method of cash flow statement taken in direct method,
which is used by the selected joint venture banks Nabil Bank Limited and Everest Bank Limited.
Joint venture banks of Nepal prepare their cash flow statement as schedule 26 in their annual
financial report.

A. Cash Flow from Operating Activities (CFFOA)

Operating activities relate to a company’s primary revenue generating activities. It has two major
parts cash inflows and outflows. All the cash receipts from operating the business during the
period is taken as cash inflows and all the cash payments done for operating of the business is
known as cash outflows. Total amount of cash flow from operating activities is taken as the
difference between total cash inflows and total cash outflows the amount of cash flow from
operating activities or the fast five years of selected banks. Nabil Bank Limited and Everest Bank
Limited is as follows:

Fiscal year

From the above table no. 4.1, the cash flow from operating activities of NBL and EBL can be
observed. The cash flow from operating activities is the difference between total cash receipt and
total cash payment of five fiscal year. It means the cash flow from operating activities is the
deviation of total cash inflows and total cash outflows from the business operation. The above
table shows that NBL has higher cash flow from operation than another Joint-venture bank EBL.
In last three year the above table as well as the presented figure shows that NBL has greater size
of cash flow from operation than the EBL in last three fiscal year the NBL has Rs. (in million)
167.49, 175.96, 557.99, 628.02 and 870.58 for the year 2003/04, 2004/05, 2005/06, 2006/07,
2007/08 respectively. Whereas, the another bank EBL has Rs. (in million) 273.17, 269.89,
415.04, 480.64 and 610.03 for the corresponding years respectively. The mean cash flow of

72
corresponding five years can be abstracted as Rs. 480.00 millions and Rs. 409.75 million of NBL
and EBL respectively.

The high derivation between total cash receipts and total cash disbursement of business on
operation is the main cause of the higher cash flow from operation. If the total cash received
from various sources exceeds to the total cash payment of various uses, then the cash flow from
operation become positive and if the total cash receipt from various sources is exceeded by the
total cash disbursement or payment then the cash flow from operation become negative. The
above table shows the positive cash flow from operation for both of the banks, which indicates
the total cash received is higher than the total cash payment for five years to the business
operation. We can not predict that what are the sums of total cash inflow and total cash outflow
from operation from the above data. Therefore, we need further presentation and description to
know the other information relating to cash flow from operation. At first, total cash inflows and
total cash outflows for the operation is observed below.

Total Cash Receipt (Total Cash Inflows)

Total cash receipts from operating activities include many different sub-topics of income
sources. Specially, joint venture bank includes interest, income, commission and discount,
currency exchange gain, non-operating income and other income. All the incomes from
operating activities as a sum is cash received on operation is total cash inflows. The total cash
receipts from operating activities of NBL and EBL for five fiscal years is given below in the
table.

A business institution can collect cash from operating the business through many sources. The
further and detail description is done later on in this chapter. The above table no. 4.2 as well as
the figure no. 4.2 shows only the sum of total cash collection from various sources of business
operations of NBL and EBL for five years. NBL received Rs. 1458.19, 1512.16, 1572.97,
2009.66 and 2555.96 (in million) for the year 2003/04, 2004/05, 2005/06, 2006/07 and 2007/08
respectively. Whereas, the EBL collected Rs. 785.06, 864.48, 1135.47, 1372.77 and 1764.96 (in
million) respectively for corresponding year. The average cash collection of NBL and EBL from
various sources of operation is Rs. 1800.00 and Rs. 1184.55 million respectively. Observing the
cash collection from operation, the NBL has strong capacity than EBL. The actual data is
presented and discussed in further discussion thoroughly. The above table no. 4.2 is presented
and explained in detail for individual institution below. The total cash receipts from operating
activities are presented as the following statement in summary of cash flow statement.

The above table shows more than 72% of total cash was received from interest to NBL. The
lowest portion of cash collection is from interest income is 68.69% in the fiscal year 2003/04
whereas the highest percentage of cash received is in the fiscal year 2007/08 which represent
79% of total cash inflow. Interest is received from many kinds of loans, advances, overdrafts,
investment, local and foreign agency balances, money at call and short call notice and others.
The above table presents the interest income of NBL in average for five years is 72.77% whereas
NBL collects its cash from operating currency exchange gain as second large source of cash. The
above table no 4.3 shows the average percentage of cash collection from operation is 10.66%.
The currency exchange gain can be received from discount on bills purchase in local and foreign
currency, letter of credit, Guarantees, Collection fees, Remittance fees, Credit cards, Share
underwriting issues, Government transactions, Agency commissions, Exchange fees and others.
Non-operating income is the least source of cash collection in joint venture banks in Nepal.

The table no. 4.4 shows the cash collection of five years from five main sources of operation.
These are the same as NBL, i.e. interest, commission and discount, currency exchange gain, non-
operating and other income. From the above table, we can say that EBL is considering the largest
and the most important source of cash to interest. This company’s report shows that at least 83%
of cash collection is received from it. The mean interest income of EBL is 84%. All the sources
of income as interest is collected as same sub-topic of NBL. This bank is considering
commission and discount sources as second bigger source of cash whereas NBL is considering
third. The mean cash collection from it while operating the business is 8.82%. The EBL is
getting it’s cash from other income as third source whereas NBL considers it source. The main
collection from given five years from other income is 4.27%. The fourth source of income for
EBL is currency exchange gain which represents only 2.56% of cash receipt whereas it was the
second largest source of income for NBL. EBL is also using non-operating source of income as
nominal source. The pie-chart 4.2 indicate only main source of cash inflow from interest,
commission and discount, currency exchange gain, non-operating and other income.

II. Total Cash Payment (Total Cash Outflows)

Total cash payment from operating activities includes many different sub-topics of payment
sector. Specially, joint venture banks includes interest expenses, staff expenses, office overhead,
non-operating expenses, other expenses, currency exchange, loss and income tax. All the
expenses from operating activities as sum is called total cash payment from operating activities.
Total cash payment on operation is total cash outflows. The total cash payment from operating
activities of NBL and EBL for five fiscal years is given below in table.

Table no. 4.5 presents total yearly cash payment for operation of Nabil Bank Limited and
Everest Bank Limited. It does not specify any particular uses of cash for the time period. The
further description for the specific uses of cash for outflow can be explained in further analysis.
The above figure no. 4.3 is prepared according to the table no. 4.5. According to these table and
figure, the cash payment of NBL is higher in every year than of the EBL. It shows that the NBL
is more by Rs (in million) 778.82, 741.63, 294.55, 489.51 and 419.39 than of EBL for the year
2003/04, 2004/05, 2005/06, 2006/07 and 2007/08 respectively. The observations above shows
NBL has higher cash utilization in each years than the EBL. As explained above in cash

observed as cash users in NBL. In every year the cash outflow on these are increased except in
other assets in fiscal year 2003/04. Observing the total cash flow position of NBL for all 5 fiscal
year, the cash outflow exceeds the cash inflows from the above table it can be made clear that
there has been no increase or decrease in balance with bank in fiscal year 2..5/06, 2006/07 and

Everest Bank Limited’s cash flow from operating activities is presented in above table no. 4.10.
From the above table we can conclude that EBL has higher cash outflow than the cash inflows in
investing activities. To increase in amount of investing activities means to pay for investing
activities. Negative change in cash is cash outflow. It can be observed from the table that, like
NBL, loans, advance and bills purchase, fixed assets and other assets are cash users in EBL also.
There has been no change in government securities and shares and debentures unit 2005/06,
2006/07 respectively. Observing the total cash flows position, cash outflows exceeds cash
inflows in all fiscal year.

Table no. 4.11 represents the total cash flow from financial activities of both banks, i.e. NBL and
EBL. It can be clear that both the banks as positive cash flow in every fiscal year. There is cash
inflows, exceeds cash outflows. Here, increase represents positive cash flow that is when cash

89
flow is positive it is inflow. It is clear that EBL has higher cash inflow than NBL except in fiscal
year 2005/06 and 2007/08. However, the mean cash flow of NBL is greater than EBL.

The total cash flow of NBL and EBL from various sources is presented in detail in table no. 4.12

The above table no. 4.12 clearly presents the cash flow from financial activities in the
transactions of bank. Increase in financial activities refers to cash inflow in business and
decrease in activities presents cash outflow from the responding activities. During 5 year the
share capital, dividend, share application money and interest in borrowings has neither increased
nor decreased. It can also be noticed that there has neither been increase nor decrease in bills
payable in last three fiscal years i.e. 2005/06, 2006/07 and 2007/08. Deposits can be treated as
the sources of cash inflow in NBL.

Observing the total cash from the above table, we can conclude that EBL paid it’s liabilities
more than it’s added liabilities during the five year. EBL has increase i.e. issued it’s share capital
only in fiscal year 2005/06 by 63 million otherwise there had been no change in share capital in
any year before and after that. It can also be observed that there has been no change in share
application money in fiscal year 2003/04, 2004/05 and 2005/06. Similarly, bills payable has
remained unchanged in all fiscal year except fiscal year 2003/04. Similar to NBL, deposits can
be treated as main source of cash inflow in EBL also.

D. Income or loss from change in exchange rate in cash and bank balance:
Sometimes change in exchange rate may occur due to different external reasons. This may lead
to loss or gain to any business. When there is increase in exchange rate the business is in gain
and when there is a decrease in exchange rate the bank is in loss. Income or loss from exchange
rate of NBL and EBL in five different fiscal years is presented in table below.

Table no. 4.14 represents the income and loss from exchange rate of NBL and EBL. But, it can
be clear that there has been income due to change in exchange rate only in the fiscal year i.e.
2006/07 and of EBL y 1.27 million and 13.64 million respectively.

E. Net Cash Flow:

After presenting all cash collection and uses from various activities i.e. operating, investing and
financing and exchange rate change, the sum of these four sub-topics amount is to be made. It
can be explained as the following mathematical equation.
Net Cash Flow (NCF) =CFFOA+ CFFIA+ CFFFA+ Exchange gain or loss

The net cash flow of NBL and EBL for each year is presented as follows:
Table No. 4.15

Source: Annual Financial Report of NBL and EBL

From the above table, we can notice that, the cash flow is stable in both the banks. Negative cash
flow indicates cash payment exceeded the cash collection as whole. The net cash flow of NBL

92
has increased very higher in fiscal year 2007/08. Both in fiscal year 2004/05, 2005/06 and
2006/07 the cash flow of EBL is greater than that of NBL> However, the mean cash flow of
NBL is greater than EBL.

F. Balance of Closing Cash and Cash Equivalent.

At the last stage of the preparation of cash flow statement, closing cash balance is
calculated by adding the opening cash balance to the net cash flow. The closing cash balance
states the cash stock of the institution at the end of the financial year. The closing cash and cash
equivalent is the opening cash balance of preceding year. Therefore, the closing cash balance of
the financial year 2003/04 becomes the opening cash balance of financial year 2004/05.

The closing cash of NBL and EBL is neither so high nor so low. The NBL could reserve the cash
balance at the end of each year is Rs. (in million) 286.96, 146.35, 630.24, 1399.83, 2671.14
million in the financial year 2003/04, 2004/05, 2005/06, 2006/07, 2007/08 respectively. The
closing cash balance of EBL has increased every fiscal year. But in the final year 2007/08
closing cash balance of NBL and EBL is almost equal. Except in 2004/05 the closing cash
balance is observed increasing simultaneously. NBL has granted cash flow fluctuation than the
EBL which is not good symptom of sound economy.

4.2 Time Series Analysis (Trend Analysis):

Trend analysis occupies an important place in the analysis and interpretation of cash flow
statement. Trend in general terms, signifies a tendency. Trend analysis helps in forecasting and
planning future operation. It is statistical tool, which shows that previous trend of the financial
performance and forecasts the future result of the firms. Trend analysis informs to various
persons who are directly or indirectly related to joint venture banks. To share holder, customers,
management and government of the banks, it informs about the expected future cash outflow and
inform to decide the future management policy.

Various methods are used for trend analysis, out of which least square method is one of the
popular method which is used in this study. In the present study, the tendency of cash receipt and
cash payments from the operating activities, cash flow from investing activities, cash flow from
financial activities and total closing balance of NBL and EBL is examined during the observation
period. And expected future result for two year have been calculated and analyzed in the
following section.

From the above table, expected cash receipt from operating activities of NBL for the coming
year 2008/09, 2009/10 are Rs (in million) 2540.35 and 2787.92 respectively which is increasing
as ascending year’s trend. As same that way, the expected total cash receipts from operating
activities of EBL for the coming those years are (Rs. in million) 1924.95 and 2171.75
respectively. This is also in increasing trend.

In the figure, vertical line shows actual and trend value of the variable whereas the horizontal
line shows the time in year. The changing rate of total cash such receipts from operating
activities in NBL and EBL is in increasing trend. The expected trend is suggested to both to be
aware generate new source of cash inflow because increase in source of cash is good symbol of
cash income management.

After observing the data, it can be concluded that the total cash payment or cash outflow from
the operating activities of both the bank are in increasing trend. To decrease in payment for the
operating for the operation is positive for the business growth. The trend line shows that both
banks are not able to control its operating expenses.

Fiscal Year

The trend value and line shows that NBL has to pay higher amount of cash to its financial
activities at previous year. Increase in cash outflow presents the payment of cash to borrowings,
deposits, bills payable and other liabilities from the above trend, in EBL also will increase in
financial activities, which means the banks has to pay cash more than the existing amount of
respecting transactions. The trend shows the cash in outgoing day by day from the financial
activities of both banks more than the previous years.

4.3 Major Findings of the Study:

The presentation and analysis of data provides the clear picture in terms of cash flow
management of the two joint-venture banks in Nepal. The major findings of the analysis are as
follows:
A. Cash Flow from Operating Activities:
There are two parts of operating activities of cash’ incoming and outgoing. The incoming of cash
from the operating activities is known as cash payment or cash outflow from operating activities.
Operating activities are daily economic activities done in a business.

99
 Cash Receipts from the operating activities :
In both joint venture banks, the major sources of cash collection s interest income, commission
and discount and currency exchange gain. Then, the other sources are non-operating income and
unspecified and miscellaneous incomes. There is greater cash collection in NBL than the EBL.
The average cash receipts of these two joint venture far observed years are Rs. 1800 million and
Rs. 1184.55 million.

In NBL, 72.77 percentage as average proportion of cash receipts from operating activities
whereas 84.30 percentage in EBL from same source. Observing this, we can conclude that the
main source of cash in operating activities is interest income. Interest is received from loan,
advances, overdraft, investment, agency balances, money at call and short call notice.

 Cash Payments to the operating activities :

The cash payment for operating activities in NBL is also higher than EBL. The average payment
of cash in NBL is Rs. 1319.57 million. Whereas Rs. 774.79 million in EBL. These both joint
venture banks paid more amount of cash as interest expenses. About 40 percent as average
observing five years the NBL paid in interest as the major uses of cash on operation. About 55
percent is paid by EBL in this topic. It shows, EBL has greater amount of land and borrowings.
The NBL utilizes its 7.22 percentage of cash on unspecified topic of operation. But EBL has
utilized on 1.56 percentage in this topic. The other uses of cash payment in operating activities in
these two banks are employees expenses, office overhead, non-operating expenses, currency
exchange, loss and others. The currency exchange loss is not found in the analysis. The gain of
exchange is included in cash receipt from operating activities.

B. Cash Flow from Investing Activities:

NBL has invested higher amount in fixed assets than the EBL in total. Cash outflow is
increased in investment is seen very high in NBL than of EBL during the observed five years.
But, the interest received is not so satisfactory. EBL has invested a very high cash in purchasing
other assets but NBL has sold its other assets which are not so productive in amount of cash.
NBL is investing higher amount of cash in money at call and short cal notice than EBL. It is a
good symptom of sound cash flow. The balance with bank of both the bank is maintained. To

100
increase in bank balance is to increase in cash liquidity power of a bank. As in total NBL has
invested cash in investing activities unbalancely. But EBL is investing balancely comparatively.

C. Cash Flow from Financial Activities:

Cash outflow from financing activities in EBL is seen higher than NBL. Share capital of
EBL is increased in 2005/06 because of issue of share capital. There is no change in share capital
of NBL during the observed five years. Borrowing of cash is in high level in NBL. It is
increasing each year in both bank, which means both banks has not received their liabilities
relating to mentioned topic. Other liabilities in NBL is noticed increasing in previous two years
and decreasing in last three years. Whereas in EBL it is increasing and decreasing
simultaneously. It means cash outflow or inflow is recurring in EBL but in NBL, there is only
decrease in other liabilities in last three years, which means cash inflow or cash receipt through
the other liabilities of financial activities. At glance both banks has received cash from financial
activities in all five years.

D. Net Cash Flow:

Net cash flow is the deviation between cash inflow and cash outflow during the period. It
is always calculated as the sum of operation, investing and financing activities is a organization's
cash flow statement. Before calculating the net cash flow for the period, the individual cash flow
from operating, investing and financial activities are done. Later on it is summed from these
three. From this study we can conclude that EBL has not so higher deviation between cash flow
and cash inflow. It is a good sign of an efficient cash flow management. The mean net cash flow
of EBL is Rs. 405.65 million whereas NBL has Rs. 414.97 million for same time period. It
shows over cash remains ideal in NBL, it is not so good for effective economic activities.
However, both banks has not satisfactory net cash flow.

E. Balance of Opening or Closing Cash and Cash Equivalent:

Cash balance at the end is the last transaction shown in cash flow statement. After
calculating the net cash flow, the opening cash flow of each year is added at corresponding
amount of net cash flow. The closing cash of the year is effected by the opening cash balance of

101
the last year. The size of closing cash balance in EBL is higher than the NBL. There are two
causes for this; the higher net cash inflow and higher opening cash balance is positive sign.

F. Time Series Analysis:

The analysis analyzed the major part of the cash flow statement. The analysis has
predicted the forthcoming two years cash flow status. According to this analysis cash receipts
and cash payment from operating activities, cash flow as whole of investing activities and
financing activities is projected in the study. The study showed the growth rate in EBL is
relatively higher than in the NBL.

 CHAPTER-V

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

5.1 Summary:
The analysis of data has been done according to the available data and the objective of this study.
The five years cash flow statement of the banks has been examined for the purpose of the study.
The analysis and interpretation of data has been done by applying the wide varieties of
methodology as stated in chapter three.

In this study, the objective, function, policy and strategies of the joint venture basis has been
analyzed and emphasized the cash flow performance from various sources and uses of banks, to
identify their contribution towards the national economy. The objective of the study also
identified as to come up with conclusion of the cash flow management of joint venture banks
with regard to their key managerial variables based on the findings of the study. This will
provide possible suggestions that will be beneficial for selected joint venture banks.

5.2 Conclusion:
From the above study, the researcher has been able to draw certain conclusion that both banks
have different cash management situation. This study has already found that cash collection from
operating activities of NBL is more effective than the EBL.

5.3 Recommendation:
After the analysis of cash flow management of the selected joint venture banks, the following
recommendations are given to EBL and NBL to overcome their weakness and inefficiency to
improve their cash flow management in better way.

 Diagnosis the cause of increasing cash outflow of non-performing assets:

Non-performing assets are increasing in EBL higher than the NBL. Therefore, it is recommended
to mobilize its staff for quick collection from debtors. The recovery of loan is most challenging
job to a bank. Both banks should be aware and diagnosis the root cause of increasing non-

103
performing assets. If there is situation of not covering of loan in time, bank should demand
additional collateral. If there is no such optional case then bank should take further steps towards
the legal action. Bank must try to analyze the financial strength of their borrowers before
granting loan and advances.

 Assets in Profitable Sector:

EBL should be more serious to improve its efficiency of utilizing the deposits in loan and
advance for generating profit. Turnover of cash flow should be short to meet projected goal.
Further, both banks should keep up their effort in utilizing their assets in performing assets as
their best level.

 Maintain Profitability Position:

Profit plays an essential role for the survival and growth of banks. But over the study period both
banks are not able to earn satisfactory level of profit comparatively. NBL is in profitability
position, which is better than EBL is recommended to utilize its risky assets and shareholders in
order to fund to gain highest profit and also to utilize its resources more efficiently.

 Better Liquidity Position:

The bank must identify the quality of current assets and current liabilities to develop their own
ratio. The liquidity position effects external and internal factors such as prevalent interest rate,
supplies and demand position of loans, saving for investment situation, central bank requirement.
For the growth strategic planning and cash flow situation, should be maintained enough to pay
short term obligation by bank.

 Sale of Non-banking Assets:

The unproductive assets should be sold and be invested in productive sector as much as possible.
EBL is the first target in this case.

 Investment of Trainee Staffs:

Nepal Rastra Bank awarded many times to both the banks for its trained staff and managerial
efficiency. Due to it’s inefficient collection of individual and group loan, there is seen economic
corruption.

104
 Minimization of Operating Expenses:
The level of operating expenses of both banks have seen to be very high. So, it is preferable to
minimize such expenses. The NBL has no mentioned a big portion of its operating expenses in
specific topics, which is included in other expenses is to be clearly noted.

 Increase in Operational and Managerial Efficiency:

Operating income level does not seen to be satisfactory specially for EBL, thus the bank should
increase its operational managerial efficiency maximum by mobilizing its resources in profit
generating sectors. However, it is appreciable work that EBL was awarded by various
institutions as a best commercial bank in Nepal. i.e. ‘Bank of the year-2006’. The bank should
carry up such kind of performance forever.

 Funds in Rural Sector for Economic Development:

To meet social responsibilities, it is recommended that both banks should promote and mobilize
the funds in the rural sector by bringing new and easy schemes, which will help in the up-
gradation of overall economic development of the country. The development of competition
reduces the non-fund based income along with share in credit market for traditional area of
lending. So, the areas of lending must be increase to rural sector in search of raw lending areas.

 Betterment of Earning Per Share:

The earning per share is the indicator for the share prices of the company. Higher earning per
shares attracts the investor and makes the investors more confident on the investment in that
company.

 Increase of Non-Interest Bearing Deposit:

Both banks should try to increase non-interest bearing deposit for increasing profit margin by
investing the same as loan advance.

 Formulate sound and Effective Financial and Non-Financial Strategies:

Both banks are recommended to formulate and important of some sound and effective financial
and non-financial strategies to meet required level of profitability as well as the social
responsibility.

105
 Light All Level of Customers:
Both banks should encourage each and every service. However, both banks are suggested to
invite higher foreign investment for its sustainable financial status as well commercial
development.

Both banks should avoid weakness by applying appropriate financial policy which will be
helpful to maintain its status in term of financial performance in future.
 E-Banking Facilities:
This is the age of globalization and the maximum utilization of internet and other electronic
media. The users of computer, E-mail, Internet is increasing rapidly. The developed countries are
enjoying performing E-commerce, E-business, E-banking to save time and money. Being a
leading banking of A in categorization on Nepal Rastra Bank, EBL and NBL also should use the
new technology in service to cope the information facilities and technologies in national
economy.
