INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background This introduction chapter aims to provide a simple & apt introduction of the subject matter related to the project work-study. A society consists of two units-surplus unit & deficit unit. Surplus units are those entitle, whose earnings exceed their expenditure & deficit units are those, who are in need of money. Hence, the mechanism, which facilitates the transactions between savers of fund and users of fund, is called banking in the words of kent, “A bank is an organization whose principal operations are concerned with the accumulation of the temporarily idle money of the general public for the purpose of advancing to others for expenditure.”1 Banks are the most important financial institution that helps in the commercial & economic development of a country. They are like reservoirs and mobilize the savings of the people and direct it towards productive purposes. They play an important role in the economy by channeling funds from surplus spending units. They promote the habit of thrift & saving among people by accepting deposits from the public. “Banks today have gained paramount trust among the general public. They are not the preservers of money but also the manufacturer of money. Bank is a manufacturer of credit and machine so facilitations exchange”2 Moreover large-scale production & distribution can only be achieved by a proper banking system in the country. Hence, banks have profound impact on the economic and commercial development of a country.

In the century, goldsmiths of England began to provide safekeeping of valuable money & they issued receipt to their clients. This receipt has higher reputation & they were used for the settlement of accounts. This was the beginning of modern banking Bank of Venice set up in 1157 in Venice, Italy is regarded as the first modern bank Subsequently , Bank of Barcelonea (1401)& Bank of Geneva (1407) were established.

Literature Survey Every ban presents its annual report to its stockholders. The information given in these reports are of two types. First, there is a verbal section, often presented in the form of descriptive essay from the chairman, which describes the banks liquidity and profitability position during the past years and discuss new developments that will affect the future operation. Second, the annual report presents the economic figures in the form of financial statements of the P/L a/c and Balance sheet. Taken together, these statements give and accounting picture of the banks operation and liquidity and profitability position of the bank. The P/L a/c reports the profit or loss earned during a period while Balance Sheet shows the assets and liabilities that stand on a particular date. Both these statements cannot fully report the real liquidity and profitability position of bank. If fails to provide useful financial data required for making decisions by the management.

In the light of the foregoing discussion, the financial statement needs to be analyzed in order to determine the real financial position of the bank using various financial tools. The present study is promoted towards this objective. 1.5.1
Financial Statements Financial statements given the financial information of a bank.

“The profit and loss portrays a flow, the operations over/during a particular period of time.”7 It is a scoreboard of the firm’s performance during a particular period of time. The P/L a/c is a statement of revenues earned and the expenses incurred for earning the revenue. If there is an excess of revenues over expenditures, it will show a profit otherwise loss. Moreover, as the P/L a/c presents the summary of revenue, expenditure and net income or loss of bank for a particular period of time, it serves as a measure of the banks profitability. 1.5.2 Financial Tools Financial statements must be made simple for any reader to analyze the profitability and liquidity position of a bank. This can be done by applying the financial tools such as comparative balance sheet and income statements, common size percentages, fund flow analysis, cash flow analysis, ratio analysis etc. However, only ratio analysis has been used for the present purpose of the study. Ratio Analysis Ratio analysis is the universally used technique of financial analysis, which was pioneered by Alexander Wall in 1919. It is the principal technique used in judging the condition portrayed by the financial statements. Ratio analysis is a systematic use for ratios to intercept the financial statements so that the strengths and weaknesses of a firm as well as its historical performance and current condition can be determined. A ratio is a yardstick that provides a measure of relationship between two accounting figures. It is defined as “The indicated quotient of two mathematical expressions and as the relationship between two or more things.”8 A ratio may also be defined as a fixed relationship in degree and number between two numbers. In finance ratios are used to point out relationships that are not obvious from the raw data. Ratio analysis is useful in making a rational decision not only for the enterprise itself but also for the outsiders, shareholders, investors, bankers depositors etc. It provides guides and clues especially in supporting trends towards better or poor performance and in finding important deviations from as average applicable standard. There are also several ratios that can be Employed but the type of ratio one would use depends on the purpose for which the analysis is made.
Various ratio that can be calculated form the accounting data includes. 7

Liquidity ratios Profitability ratio Structural ratio Turnover ratio Market Value ratio Other ratios
However, only liquidity and profitability ratios need to be calculated for our purpose. a.
Liquidity ratios Liquidity or solvency as it is often referred to be is the ability of bank to meet its current/short-term obligations when they become due for payment. Liquidity is the pre-requisite for the survival of a bank. The liquidity is measured with a help of liquid ratios. According to Khan and Jain, “Liquidity ratios measure the ability of a strength/solvency of the firm.”9 The lack of liquidity damages the credit standing of the bank and as a result the public lose trust in the bank. Higher liquidity means higher solvency, which shows sound short-term financial position of the bank. The ratio that indicate the liquidity position of the bank are:1. Current Ratio The current ratio measures the banks short-term solvency position. It is a ratio between current assets and current liabilities. It shows how many times the current assets is greater than current liabilities. Current assets consists of cash and bank balance, money at call and short notes, loans, cash, credit, overdrafts, bills purchased and discounted. The current liabilities include saving deposits, fixed deposits, current deposits, call and short deposit, bills payable, tax provision, staffs bonus, dividend payables, other deposits and short term loans including miscellaneous current liabilities. The current ratio is determined by dividing the current assets by the current liabilities. CurrentAssets Current ratio = CurrentLiabilities Note: In the absence of complete information about the classification of the fixed deposit according to their maturity, all the fixed deposits are taken as current liabilities. Higher the ratio, higher is the ability of the bank to pay its liabilities. The optimum current ratio should be 2:1.

2. Quick Ratio This ratio shows the relationship between quick or liquid assets and current liabilities. Quick Ratio =
LiquidAssets CurrentLiabilities
Liquid Assets = Total current assets – Inventory – Prepaid Expenses Higher quick ratio indicates, higher the firm’s capacity for paying its current liabilities.
b. Profitability Ratio Profitability ratios are concerned with measuring the operating efficiency of the bank. “Profitability ratio are designed to provide answer to basically to those questions: (i) Is the profit earned by the firm adequate? (ii) What rate of return does it represent? (iii) What is the rate of profit for various divisions and segments of the firms? (iv) What are the earnings per share? (v) What amount was paid on dividends? (vi) What is the rate of return to equity holders and so on?”10 Profit is the ultimate output of the bank and it will have no future if it fails to make sufficient profits. A profit is the difference between total revenue and total expenses over a period of time. The profit and obtained by successful administration management, credit management, operating management and risk management. Thus, a bank realize profit as long as interest-earning assets exceeds interest-bearing liabilities. The profitability of the bank is measured with a help of profitability ratio. Such profitability ratios include. 1. Return on assets (ROA) The ratio between net profit and total assets is known as return on assets. It shows the contribution of assets on profits. ROA =
NPAT TotalAssets
Higher return on total assets is reasonable. 2. Return on Share Holder’s Equity The ratio clarifies the relation between net profit and shareholders equity. 10

The DPR measures the relationship between earning of the firm belonging to the ordinary shareholders and dividend paid to them out of those earnings. It tells as to what proportion of the earnings per share has been paid as cash dividends and what proportion has been return to plough back for the banks expansion and growth. The DPR is calculated by dividing dividend per share by earnings per share. DPR =

Dividend Yield The dividend yield evaluates the shareholder cash receipts in relation to the market price per share. It expresses the dividend per share as a percentage of the bank market price per share. The dividend yield is determined by dividing the cash dividends per share by the market price per share.
Dividend Yield =
Dividendpershare Marketpricepershare
Higher the growth potential, grater the retention of earning and hence forth, lower and dividend yield and vice-versa. 9.
Earning Yield The earning yield or earning price ratio may be defined as the ratio of earning per share to the market price per share. It indicates the shareholders return in relation to make market price per share. The earning yield is obtained by dividing earning per share by market price per share. Earning Yield=
Earningpershare Marketpricepershare
10.
Price Earning Ratio The price/earning ratio reflects the investors perception about the overall risk of the bank earnings and the growth in the bank earnings. It indicates the investors judgment about the bank performances. It also tells the price currently bargained by the market participant in common stock for each rupee of earning. The P/E ratio is determined by dividing market price per share by earning per share.

Limitation of Study The study suffers from the following limitations 1. The study is confined to selected banks namely Kumary Bank and Nabil Bank Limited. 2. The study covers a period of only four years (F/Y 2061/062, 2062/063, 2063/064 and 2064/065). 3. The study is based on the historical data. So it only shows the liquidity and profitability position in the past but cannot forecast the future. 4. The data used in the study are of secondary nature, extracted from the financial statements of the banks. So all those limitation underlined in the financial statements are the limitation of the study too.
Research Methodology The basic objective of the study is to gain an insight into the liquidity and profitability position of selected commercial banks in Nepal. Hence, to accomplish this objective a good research methodology has to be followed. Research methodology basically describes the methods, processes tools and techniques applied in the entire process of a scientific research. The research methodology adopted in this study to accomplish the objective of liquidity and profitability analysis constitutes of : Sources of data, data collection technique and data analysis tools. 1.7.1 Sources of Data There are two sources from which data can be collected primary source and secondary source. The data that are originally collected by an investor for the first time for the purpose of statistical enquiry are knows as primary source data. Thus the data collected through the primary source is original in character while the data, which are not originally collected but obtained from published or unpublished source are secondary source of data. These types of data are not original in character. 1.7.2 Data Collection Technique In course of preparation of the research, the data though to be appropriate for the study was the secondary data which could be obtained from the annual reports of Nabil Bank and Kumari Bank. After the collection of data, the
13

3.3 Recommendation
26
A Comparative Study on Liquidity and Profitability Position of Nabil Bank Limited and Kumari Bank Limited
The following are some of the recommendation which could be considered for the improvement of liquidity and profitability position of NBL and KBL. a)
The inter- bank analysis of current ratio shows NBL as a poor performer
than KBL. Hence, the management of the bank should concentrate on its liquidity position. The liquidity position could be improved by diverting investment fund from long term investment fund to risk free securities and other short term investments. It should also maintain a higher cash reserve. b)
The inter- bank analysis of profitability ratios has shown the KBL has
lower overall profitability. Although it has been producing a good amount of net income, the profitability of the bank is low. Therefore, the reasons behind and low profitability should be examined by the management of the bank and the problems should be rectified. The ROA, ROE and EPS should be increased and appropriate amount of dividend should be provided to the shareholders in order to attract those investors who are interested to earn higher dividend incomes.
