National Finance barred from selling unsubscribed right shares

KATHMANDU, - Nepal Rastra Bank and the Security Board of Nepal (SEBON) have directed National Finance Limited (NFL) not to sell its unsubscribed shares during the issuance of right shares at a premium price.
National Finance, which is at the final stages of a merger with Narayani Finance Limited, was seeking to sell 18,000 units of its unsubscribed shares at a premium price of Rs. 600 per share.
Earlier, it had issued 6.3 million units of right shares.
As per central bank regulations, such unsubscribed shares should
be auctioned, but the minimum per share price should be fixed at
Rs. 100.
The rules state that companies that make a profit for three consecutive years can sell their shares at a premium price during their initial public offering (IPO).
"We intervened in National Finance's attempt and directed it to act as per the central bank's directives," said SEBON chairman Surbir Poudel. "We have written to Nepal Rastra Bank regarding the matter."
Central bank director Laxmi Prapanna Niraula confirmed that the central bank had directed the finance company not to sell its unsubscribed shares at a premium price.
"They have every right not to sell the shares if they could not get the expected price," he said. "They must follow Nepal Rastra Bank's directives strictly."
The company admitted it had received the central bank's directive not to go ahead with its plan.
"That's why we are cancelling the sale of our shares at the rate Rs. 600 per share and planning to make a fresh call for action by the first week of September," said Umesh Singh Bhandari, chief executive officer of the company.
He said that companies should be allowed to set a premium price
as per their performance given that they have been authorized to not even accept the offered price.
With the subscription of right shares, its
paid-up capital has
already reached Rs. 220 million.
The total paid-up capital of the new company Narayani National Finance which was created after the merger is Rs. 440 million with an equal amount of paid-up capital of Narayani Finance.
After the merger, its reserve capital has too remained at Rs. 180 million.
"We are going to issue right share worth Rs. 220 million in mid-October which
will raise our classification to B class," Bhandari said. - Kantipur Report

NEPSE pulls out of dive

KATHMANDU, Aug 27 - After a seven-day downhill run, the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) turned around with a 3.44 point gain on Wednesday.
The secondary market went up after Security Board of Nepal (SEBON) failed to pass the proposal on conversion of 19 percent promoter shares to ordinary shares. The board meeting of SEBON was supposed to discuss this proposal on Tuesday but the meeting was cancelled due to protest.
"This won't be decided immediately," said Surbir Poudel, chairman of SEBON. "We'll move ahead after discussing it with Nepal Rastra Bank in due course of time."

Among the sub-indices, the banking sector was the highest gainer by increasing 3.44 point followed by the development bank and finance sectors which gained 0.15 and 0.41 point respectively.

Commercial banks post massive profits

KATHMANDU, Aug 19 - The last fiscal year has been a good year for Nepali commercial banks with their profits surging by 33.2 percent.
The net profit of 26 commercial banks reached Rs. 14.16 billion in the fiscal year 2008/09 from Rs. 10.63 billion in the previous fiscal year.
The government-owned and some other private banks, who are suffering from bad loans, succeeded in recovering substantial amount, pushing the overall profits of the commercial banks up.
The unedited fourth quarterly reports of most of the banks show they have made substantial profits in the year 2008/09. It was initially feared that the profitability of the commercial banks might be affected due to the global economic crisis.
The handsome profit the banks have posted in the fourth quarterly report shows that the global economic crisis has not made a serious impact on Nepal's banking sector. "It was a good fiscal year for commercial banks," said Sujit Mundal, CEO of Standard Chartered Bank.
The top names in the Nepali banking sector like Standard Chartered Bank, Nabil Bank, Nepal Investment Bank, Himalayan Bank, Everest
Bank, Nepal Industrial and Commercial (NIC) Bank and others have witnessed a notable growth in profits in the last fiscal year.
Twenty-three out of 26 commercial banks have registered more profits this time around compared to that of previous year. Only three banks have reported a negative growth. "The net profit has gone up as some of the ailing banks have recovered their bad loans," said Sashin Joshi, CEO of NIC Bank.
There are five commercial banks who have posted over Rs. 1 billion as net profit in the last fiscal year. Nepal Bangladesh Bank (NBB) had the highest profit of Rs. 2.47 billion up to the last quarter, followed by Rastriya Banijya Bank (RBB) and Agricultural Development Bank (ADBN) which made profits of Rs. 2.03 billion and Rs. 1.23 billion up to the last quarter, respectively. The profits of NBB, RBB and ADBN increased substantially due to write back of their non-performing loans. NB Bank has recovered Rs. 1.3 billion loan from the NB Group, the promoters of the bank over the last fiscal year.
The other two banks who have crossed the billion mark are Nabil Bank and Standard Chartered Bank with a net profit of Rs. 1.03 billion and Rs. 1.02 billion respectively. Nabil Bank has for the first time overtaken Standard Chartered Bank in terms of net profit.
Compared to the period up to the fourth quarter of last year, the profit of Nabil Bank went up by 38.12 percent while Standard Chartered Bank posted an increase of 25.17 percent. Likewise, Nepal Investment Bank, Nepal Industrial and Commercial (NIC) Bank and the Bank of Kathmandu saw their profits go up by 31.26 percent, 30.27 percent and 27.66 percent, respectively.
In terms of percentage growth, Bank of Asia and Prime Bank saw
the biggest growth but these being new banks had a much smaller base to start with.
However, bankers believe that the profitability of the commercial banks might decline from next year onwards. Sashin Joshi has a word of caution: "With increasing competition and decreasing margins, the profitability of the banks on their equity will decline in the coming days."
