CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Profitability is the most common measure of an enterprise including the banking industry.
Profitability refers to the state or condition of yielding or earning a financial profit or gain. It
refers to the ability of the company to use its resources to generate revenues in excess of its
expenses. Similarly, profitability ratios are generally considered to be the basic bank financial
ratio in order to evaluate how well bank is performing in terms of profit. For the most part, if
a profitability ratio is relatively higher as compared to the competitor(s), industry averages,
guidelines, or previous years’ same ratios, then it is taken as indicator of better performance
of the bank.
Liquidity refers to a company's ability to pay its current bills and expenses. In other words,
liquidity relates to the availability of cash and other assets to cover accounts payable, short-
term debt, and other liabilities. It is characterized by the use of converting an asset into
money at a little cost. In the assets side of the balance sheet of the commercial bank, will be
liquid assets, which can be easily converted into cash- such assets are called liquid assets.
Liquidity can also be defined as the finance company’s ability to meet immediate maturing
liabilities. Liquid assets mainly include cash and bank balances money at call and short
notice, investment in government securities such as treasury bills, development bonds, saving
bonds etc.
The liquidity management function of a finance company is regular one. It is known that
finance company liquidity is the most sensitive and importance aspect. A finance company
can’t be imagined without liquidity. The finance company should keep the stock of liquid
assets in the ratio of their deposit liability, as fixed by the Nepal Rastra Bank. The importance
of liquidity is as follows:
a) To meet the expenses for the finance company's daily administrative work.
b) To pay all sorts of deposits.
c) To control the economic fluctuation and to keep safe from the risk.
d) To fill the demand of the debtor.
e) Providing security to the finance company.
2
Activity ratios measure the relative efficiency of a firm based on its use of its
assets, leverage or other such balance sheet items and are important in determining whether a
company's management is doing a good enough job of generating revenues and cash from its
resources.
There are several definition of a bank by different authors and scholar’s .some of them is as
follows:
“Bank deal in accepting the saving of people in the form of deposit collection and invest in
the productive area." (Fischer, 1989)
The company started its operations on 2051-03-22 B.S with an authorized share capital of
Rs.640 Million, issued capital of Rs.200 Million and paid-up capital of Rs.100.8 Million. In
keeping with the growth targets, the company has kept increasing its capital base. Today, the
company has an authorized share capital of Rs.1000 Million, issued capital of Rs.800 Million
and paid-up capital of Rs.800 Million.
The Company presently has 9 branch offices outside of Kathmandu valley and 1 Head Office
in Kathmandu. The Company also plans to geographically spread out to other parts of the
country in the near future.
Today SIFCO has prominently grown over the years, from Fixed, Recurring, and Saving
Deposits to Loans & Advances. SIFCO has accomplished for itself a niche position in the
Nepalese Financial Sector while firmly adhering to a policy of prudence and caution,
company has been in the forefront of introducing various innovative products and services.

Nepal Rastra Bank prescribes the minimum capital, issued Capital and Paid up Capital of the
licensed institutions in time to time and it is the responsibility of BFIS to maintain such level
of capital structure. NRB has prescribed ‘C’ class licensed institution to maintain a capital of
Rs.800 Million by the end of FY 2073/74. The paid up capital of the finance company in the
FY 2074/75 is Rs.800.15 million. It has proposed bonus share of 9.85 million in the FY
2074/75 from the profit of the respective year, after which the paid up capital of the bank will
be 810 million.
Present bank’s shareholding pattern of Shree Investment & Finance Company is 60%
promoters and 40% general public.
A decent financing system with assortments of services to fulfill commerce, trade industry
and agriculture needs of the country is essential for Nepal. It very well may be pictured that
the finance sector in Nepal is at its infant stage. However, in the recent period the finance
company have appeared to be showing good financial performance. In these conditions, it is
exceptionally suitable to make a research on SIFCO. This research should enable the users to
see clear image of the performance of the finance company.
The assessment has not been made to pass judgments on the financial performance of SIFCO.
Generally, its stock prices are considered for its better performance yet one can bring up the
question whether it is sufficient to reflect the financial performance of SIFCO.
The primary issue of the investigation is to ask whether the investigation of the financial
performance of SIFCO has expected to discover the following inquiries:
The general objective of this research will be analyzing the financial statements of SIFCO
regarding the financial position and performance. Other specific objectives are as follows.
a) To analyze the financial performances through the use of appropriate financial and
analytical tools.
b) To analyze profitability, liquidity, leverage, activity ratio of SIFCO
For the overall development of the country, development of economic condition of the
country is very important. Finance company is an organization which collects the deposits
and provide loans, simply it utilizes and manages the fund of nation. The study intends to
provide financial overview of such Finance company.
1.7 Review
The main objectives of the Finance company are to collect deposits as much as possible from
the customers and to mobilize into the most profitable sector. If a Finance company fails to
utilize its collected resources then it cannot generate revenue. Resource mobilization

Financial analysis is the process of identifying the financial strength and weakness of the
concerned Finance company. Financial statement analysis is a method of reviewing and
analyzing a company's accounting reports (Financial statements) in order to gauge its past,
present or projected future performance. This process of reviewing the financial statements
allows for better economic decision making. It is performed to determine the following:
Profitability
Liquidity
Solvency
Efficiency
The function or the performance of finance can be broken down into three major decisions
i.e. the investment decision, the financing decision, and the dividend decisions. An optional
combination of the three decisions will maximize the value of the firm.
Tarawneh (2006) analyzed the financial statement of five Omani banks for the financial
period 1999-2003. In addition, he used simple regression to estimate the impact of asset
management, operation efficiency, and bank size on the financial performance of these banks.
The results showed that financial performance of the banks was strongly and positively
influenced by the operational efficiency, asset management, and bank size.
Almazari (2011) in his study attempted basically to measure the financial performance of
seven Jordanian commercial banks for the period 2005-2009, by using simple regression in
order to estimate the impact of independent variable represented by; the bank size, asset
management, and operational efficiency on dependent variable financial performance
represented by; return on assets and interest income size. It was found that banks with higher
total deposits, credits, assets, and shareholders’ equity do not always mean that has better
profitability performance. Also found that there exists a positive correlation between financial
performance and asset size, asset utilization and operational efficiency, which was also
confirmed with regression analysis that financial performance is greatly influenced by these
independent factors.
Haque and Sharma (2011), their research studied the hypotheses tested imply that there are
significant differences amongst Saudi banks. The financial performance of banks in Saudi
Arabia is studied on the basis of financial variables and ratios through the help of Spearman's'
rank correlation method. Although, benchmarking performance of banks is done using
advanced linear programming models, this study attempts to develop an efficiency frontier on
the basis of simple linear regression. Albeit certain restrictive assumptions, this study
7
identifies Al Rajhi bank to be the best bank to which other banks could look up to and
justifies this model on the basis of parsimony.
Almumani (2014) the purpose of his study is to analyze and compare the performance of
Saudi banks that listed in stocks market for the period 2007-2011. The study is an evaluator
in nature, drawing sources of information from secondary data. The financial performance of
banks is studied on the basis of financial ratios and variables. Financial performance was
measured by two approaches; trend analysis and inter-firm analysis. It was found that
increasing of assets, operating expenses, and cost to income causes a decrease in Saudi
bank’s profitability, while increasing of operating income causes an increase in the
profitability of Saudi Banks. Analysis shows that all the variables of study have a positive
mean value and all banks are generating income. Saudi joint venture banks proved to be more
proficient in generating profits, absorbing loan losses and dominating in ROE, while, Saudi
established banks have more capacity of absorbing asset losses and dominating in ROA.
Kumal (2015) evaluated the financial performance of M/s Kumari Bank Limited, a
commercial bank in Nepal taking the period of three financial years in considerations, from
FY 2011/12 to FY 2012/13. The results showed that the financial position of M/s Kumari
Bank Limited is satisfactory and in good position.
In the Gulf, Samad (2004) investigated the performance of seven locally incorporated
commercial banks during the period 1994-2001. Financial ratios were used to evaluate the
credit quality, profitability, and liquidity performances. The performance of the seven
commercial banks was compared with the banking industry in Bahrain which was considered
a benchmark. The article applied a Student’s t-test to measure the statistical significance for
the measures of performance. The results revealed that commercial banks in Bahrain were
relatively less profitable, less liquid and were exposed to higher credit risk than the banking
Going through the above study, it can be said that financial analysis is an important element
for every financial institution as it helps in managing the assets and liabilities, which is
raising problem for financial institutions. Here, in this study efficient utilization of assets and
its impact on financial performance is also included because the smooth financial
performance is dependent on availability of assets in an organization. This research work has
tried to include overall financial performance of Shree Investment & Finance Company
Limited calculating the profitability ratios, liquidity ratios, activity ratios and leverage ratios.
Therefore, this study is useful to the concern bank as well as different persons such as
shareholders, investors, policy makers, stockholders, state of government.

1.8 Methods
Research methodology refers to the various segmental steps along with the rationale of each
step to be adopted by a researcher in studying a problem with certain objectives in view. In
other words research methodology describes the methods and process applied in the entire
aspects of the study. It helps to collect reliable data and information from various sources in
order to prepare report writing.
The research design will consists of descriptive research designs to deal with the various
aspects. The descriptive research design will be developed with the aim of studying the
subject of research in detail.
There are various data collection sources are available i.e. primary sources and secondary
sources. The major data used in this project report are collected from secondary sources. The
sources of detailed data are as follows.
Primary data:
The data, which is first time collected for an investigation by an investigator or his /her agent
or research organization, is known as primary data. It is original in character and just like raw
material. I used the following procedures to collect the primary data.
Secondary Data:
The data are collect from the published and unpublished sources. Secondary data are those
data which are already available and have been collected for some other purpose.
Various statistical as well as financial ratios are used in analysis of data obtained in the due
course of research. The obtained data is presented, tabulated and graphed and subsequently
done the same to the results computed to analyze and achieve the goal of the study. The
following tools which are used for data analysis.
Liquidity ratios
Profitability ratios
Leverage Ratios
Activity ratios
Other financial ratios
Further, following tools have been used for data presentation:
Tabulation
Line Charts
Pie charts
Bar diagrams
A) Ratio Analysis
A ratio is simply one number expressed in terms of another and on such it express the
quantitative relationship between any two numbers. Ratio can be expressed in terms of
percentage, proportion and as a coefficient.
Liquidity Ratio
Liquidity ratios are used measure a firm's ability to meet short-terms obligations. They
compare short terms obligations to short-term (current) resources available to meet these
obligations. From these ratios, much insight can be obtained into the present cash solvency of
the firm and the firm's ability to remain solvent in the event of the adversity. Following ratios
have been evaluated under liquidity ratio
Current Ratio
It measures the short-term solvency position of firm by the current assets. It is derived by
dividing current assets by current liabilities as follows:
11
Generally, higher current ratio indicates better liquidity position and 2:1 or more is
considered satisfactory.
Cash and Bank Balance to Current Assets Ratio = Cash and Bank Balance
Total Deposits
The total deposit consists of current deposit, savings deposit, fixed deposit, money at call and
short notice and other deposits. This ratio is calculated as:
Cash and Bank Balance to Current Assets Ratio = Cash and Bank Balance
Current Assets
Cash and Bank Balance to Current Deposit Ratio
This ratio measures the ability of Finance company's current assets to fulfill the current
deposit. High level of liquidity is not good as idle assets earn nothing. This ratio is calculated
as under:
Cash and Bank Balance to Current Deposit Ratio= Total Cash and Bank Balance
Current Deposit Ratio
Loans and Advance to Total Deposit Ratio (Credit Deposit Ratio)
The credit to Deposit ratio is one of the most commonly used ratio for liquidity of BFIS. It
indicates the ratio of loan and advances with the total deposit and core capital of the Finance
company. In other words, this ratio measures the Finance company’s ability to utilize the
12
amount that has been collected through saving, current & fixed deposit account. CD ratio can
be calculated as follows:
It measures the efficiency and searches the degree of success in achieving desired profit.
Moreover, such ratios enable an investor to decide whether to invest or not. Some of the
important profitability ratio have been calculated and interpreted in this study which is
presented below:
Leverage Ratio
Leverage ratio is known as capital structure ratio or solvency ratio. It is calculated to measure
the long term financial position of a firm. Leverage ratio measures the overall financial risk
as well the ability of the Finance company in using debt for the benefit for the shareholders.
Thus, there should be appropriate mix of debt and owners' equity in financing the firm's
assets. Debt and equity are long-term obligation. This ratio indicates the fund provided by
owners & creditors. To find out the long solvency of the Finance company, several ratio are
calculated. This ratio helps to find out the proportions of outsiders fund and owners fund.
Long Term Debt to Shareholders’ Fund Ratio= Total Long Term Debt+ Fixed
Deposit
Shareholders’ Fund
Total Long Term Debt to Total Assets Ratio
This ratio implies Finance company's success in exploiting debts to be more as well as its
riskier capital structure. For the requirement fund to the firm the management should finance
the proper mix of fund from the debt and others. This ratio is calculated as under:
Total Long Term Debt to Total Assets Ratio= Total Long Term Debt
Total Assets
Activity Ratio
Activity ratio measures efficiency of an organization from various angles of its operations.
This ratio indicates the efficiency of activity of an enterprise to utilize available funds,
particularly short-term funds. These ratios are used to determine the efficiency, quality and
the contribution of loans and advances in the total profitability. The following activity ratios
measure the performance, efficiency of an organization to utilize its short-term funds.
Loan and Advances to Total Deposit Ratio= Total Loan and Advances
Total Deposit
Non-performing Loans to Loans and Advances Ratio
This ratio indicates the percentage of non-performing loans out of total loans and advances.
Higher ratio shows the inefficiency of the Finance company in lending and vice-versa. The
ratio is calculated as:
Non-Performing Loans to Loans and Advances Ratio= Total Non- Performing Loans
Total Loans and Advances
Loans and Advances to Fixed Deposit Ratio
This ratio indicates the utilization of fixed deposit in loans and advances. High ratio shows
the efficiency in utilization of fixed deposit amount in loan and advances and vice-versa. This
ratio can be calculated as follows:
Loans and Advances to Fixed Deposit Ratio= Total Loans and Advances
Total Fixed Deposit
Loan Loss Provision to Total Loans
This ratio indicates the percentage of Provision for loan loss out of total loans and advances.
The loan loss provision is made on the total outstanding loans as per the Directives issued by
Nepal Rastra Bank. This ratio can be calculated as follows:
B) Statistical tools
Mean
The statistical mean refers to the mean or average that is used to derive the central tendency
of the data in question. It is determining by adding all the data points in a population and then
dividing by total number of points. It can be calculated as:
∑X
Mean X=
N
Standard Deviation
Standard deviation is a statistic used as a measure of the dispersion in a distribution, equal to
the square root of the arithmetic mean of the squares of the deviations from the arithmetic
mean. It can be calculated as:
∑ ( X−mean X ) 2
S.D=
√ N
Coefficient of Variance
It is a standardized measure of dispersion of a profitability distribution. It is often expressed
as a percentage, and is defined as the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean. It can be
calculated as:
S. D
CV=
mean X
Limitation is the boundary line of the study which narrows the area of study into a specific
circumstance. The major limitations of this study are mentioned below:
The Research is based on records of three years fiscal years’ analysis only i.e. from
FY 2072/2073 to FY 2074/2075.

CHAPTER THREE
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
This chapter is dedicated to provide conclusions after tabulation and analysis of the different
financial ratios as depicted in the earlier chapters on the financial performance and position of
Shree Investment and Finance Company Limited. It also tries to provide some
recommendations to the concerned banks from the conclusion derived from the study.
3.1 Summary
Banks and financial institutions generally mobilize the idle resources by collecting from
general public in the form of deposits and disbursing the collected deposits in the form of
loan to parties requiring it and generating profits in the same process. Absence of modern
banking system leads to lack of sufficient capital. Thus, any country cannot have a developed
economy in the absence of modern banking system. An effective banking system leads to the
effective mobilization of resources like saving and investments, which in turn leads to sound
economic growth of the country.
Ratio analysis is a very significant tool to financial performance analysis. It is one of the
means by which financial stability, wealth, viability and performance of a firm can be judged.
This project report has been prepared for the fulfillment of the internal assessment of BBS
program. From this purpose, here we have analyzed the financial performance of Shree
Investment and Finance Company Limited over the period of FY 2072/73 to FY 2074/75. To
evaluate the financial performance of the finance company, we have divided the whole report
to different chapters. In every chapter, there are several sub-chapters. The first Introduction
chapter gives background information about the project work, introduction of Shree
Investment and Finance Company Limited, Review related studies etc. The second chapter
called Presentation and Analysis of Data; we tried to analyze its financial performance
through Ratio Analysis. By using this financial tool, we computed different ratios to evaluate
its Liquidity position, Profitability Position and overall Financial Position.
In summary, it has been found that the profit of Shree Investment and Finance Company
Limited is growing at higher rate, depicting the better performance of the bank with each
year. Hence, it is utterly important to find out whether or not the banks are serving as an
importance contribution towards the development of the different sector of the economy.
From the study, it has been found out that the overall financial position and performance
of Shree Investment and Finance Company Limited is satisfactory and better than other
finance companies of the same level
47
From the calculation of the liquidity ratios, it has been observed that the overall liquidity
of the bank is satisfactory. The company is fairly in position to its meet short-term
obligations and further the bank has been increasing its short-term solvency power for
short-term liabilities from current assets. The Credit deposit ratio of the finance is also
satisfactory. However, the cash to current assets ratio though positive, is on the lower
and decreasing order.
From the profitability ratios, it has been observed that the earning of the bank is
fluctuating.
From the Leverage Ratio, it has been observed that the bank has taken some long-term
loans from other banks. All the same, the financial structure of the company is observed
to be satisfactory.
From the Activity Ratio, it has been observed that the bank has under-utilized its deposits
in the productive sector. The bank has invested very few percent of available funds to
generate income.
3.2 Conclusion
Finance Company is a very important and vital for economic development in mobilizing
capital and other resources. SIFCO is also contributing to the advancement of the
socioeconomic condition of the country. With increasing globalization and development
activities rapidly progressing with increased competition in the banking industry, SIFCO is
following several strategies and taking new initiatives, offering new products and services to
the customers.
From the above findings, it has been concluded that the finance company is in profitable
condition in the past years. Similarly, it can be concluded from the leverage ratios calculated
that the financial structure of the bank is satisfactory. Further, it can also be concluded that
the utilization of the available funds is satisfactory.
In a nutshell, it can be concluded that the overall financial position and performance of
SIFCO is in satisfactory condition. Though there appears to be the instances wherein the
chances for performing better exist, the overall business position of the bank is very good as
compared to the other finance company of similar level.
SIFCO is one of the popular finance company and it may be one of the leading finance in the
Nepalese finance sector. So, it needs to spread in branches in remote area of the country. A
strategy sector should be directed for better performance to ensure long-term survival and
sustainability.
Following points may help SIFCO to perform well in the future considering that the bank
right now is in the developing and extension stage of its age. Mentioned below are the
recommendations suggested to overcome the weakness and inefficiency and to improve the
financial performance of the bank:
48
Considering the present economic condition of the country, the finance company should
play vital roles for the development of the country. They should promote balanced
original development by financing funds in remote areas and other priority sectors.
The finance company should extend its services in multiple parts of the area. The bank
has only few branches, which increases chances of losing customers especially in the
increasing market condition.
In order to be able to pay the liabilities the bank should have to increase their current
assets by investing in marketable securities because their current ratios are less than the
conventional standard 2:1 ratio.
The cash and cash equivalent to current assets is very low in ratio. It is recommended to
increase the balance to be able to meet quick liabilities, maintain the quick ratio at the
range of 1:1.
Other than shareholders annual report, the bank should publish and distribute booklets
containing department information about its activities and performance as well.
For the better utilization of Shareholders fund, the bank should conduct research
frequently.
Obtaining more funds with cost return analysis, and their subsequent utilization in the
assets.
Loans Programs should be made attractive to increase the loan portfolio, since the major
income source is the interest income from the loans and advances provided.
Financing more agricultural, manufacturing and small scale industries sectors.
The bank needs to adopt new technologies, which is very helpful to work effectively and
efficiency.
Pay special attention towards staff management.
The risk of return on equity should be reduced.
