A development in the agricultural sector will no doubt result in the development of the whole country. To keep With a view to meet this basic need the Agricultural Development Finance Corporation was set-up in 1951, and was entrusted with the task of providing financial facilities for the development and modernization of agriculture, including: Forestry, Fishery, Animal Husbandry, Poultry, Dairy Farming. Later on the Agricultural Development Bank of Pakistan was also established in September 1957, under the Agricultural Development Bank Act.

As the functions of the Agricultural Development Finance Corporation and Agricultural Development Bank were similar and since both were working with capital provided by the Government, they were merged into one organization known as Agricultural Development Bank of Pakistan on February 18. 1961. The Agricultural Development Bank of Pakistan was a banking company for the purpose of the Banking Companies Ordinance and the State Bank of Pakistan Act. On 14 December 2002 the Federal Government has converted the Agricultural Development Bank of Pakistan (ADBP) into Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd (ZTBL) and the new venture has started its operation with immediate effect. The new corporate structure redefines the banks statue as a public limited company with an independent Board of Directors promulgated under the presidential ordinance which, aims at ensuring good governance, autonomy, delivering high quality, viable and timely financial services to a greater number of clientele in the agricultural and rural segment of the country with adequate returns to the stakeholder. After this incorporation all the assets and liabilities of ADBP became the assets and liabilities of ZTBL. This restructure was carried out with the aim to improve the working and role of bank in the agricultural development. The bank is completely owned by the government and it has head office in Islamabad.

ZTBL is providing affordable, rural and agriculture financial services to the rural Pakistan, comprising 68 % of the total population. The Bank through a country-wide network of 352 branches is serving around half a million clients annually and over one million accumulated account holders with the average loan size of around Rs.89,000.

Credit RatingIn August 2010, ZTBL continued to achieve AAA credit rating by JCRVIS. Yea Entity r 201 AAA/ 0 A-1+ 200 AAA/ 9 A-1+ Stand Alone B+/ B B+/ B e Stabl e Outl ook Stabl

The credit rating of the bank is due to the reason that bank enjoys sovereign guarantee of the federal government that covers its debt obligations to State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and ensures safety of deposits under the Banks (Nationalization) Act 1974. The banks lending book is largely funded through SBPs credit lines while contribution from deposits remains nominal. ZTBL is actively exploring different options for resource mobilization including bilateral/multilateral arrangements with financial institutions. In case these efforts materialize; it would diversify the existing funding source of the bank, thereby reducing reliance on the SBP.

Transformation of ZTBL to R.F.I country and road to excellence.

of

the

The conversion of ADBP into ZTBL had a conditionality of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) loan framework as per which a restructuring exercise was initiated. The restructuring process entailed ADBs Rural Finance Sector Development Program (RFSDP) with the objective to transform ZTBL into a sustainable Rural Finance Institution. It also included the up-gradation of Information technology (IT) infrastructure for which funds from ADBs loan were to be utilized. Healthy and well-functioning rural finance markets are directly related to achieving the two key national policy objectives of accelerating rural/agriculture growth and reducing poverty. The realization of these objectives depends on the simultaneity of developments in rural finance and non-financial markets to foster the creation of diverse sources of rural finance to build sustainable financial institutions, and stimulate products and capital flows in the rural sector. For this, rural finance must be seen as an integral part of equitable development within a framework of macroeconomic stability. For the majority, access to affordable rural finance services is also important to enable them to compete in the post-World Trade Organization scenario. Inability to compete because of high financial costs could reduce income of the majority of farmers and rural clients, particularly the small and subsistence clients. Lack of access to affordable rural finance services will also prevent the clients from switching to non-farm activities. The ZTBL restructuring plan covering the following; Governance: establish an environment that facilitates good governance and accountability; Systems: modernize operations through use of technology, networking, and communication tools; Business processes: streamline products and delivery systems so as to reduce transaction costs, simplify operations, and increase outreach; Products and services: introduce products and services that are financially economically viable;

Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Human resource development: improve standards and skills of management and staff and strengthen training capacity; and Information Technology: establish new hardware and software platform to support MIS, accounting system including forensic accounting, and risk management functions. The reforms shall establish ZTBL as a key R.F.I of the country. By expanding its private sector role, the bank aims to establish network of high tech rural and agri. financial services through intermediations under public private participation and whole-sale -retail lending mechanism.

Interpetation of Horizontal and Vertical AnalysisMarkup/ Return/ Interest Earned Note:The Financial statement for the year of 2009 is not available online. Markup/return/interest earned is the amount which the bank earns ZTBL is government institute and it is not listed in any stock from its primary function of lending money to its customers. Increase exchange. I have tried to get copy of financial statement from the in this income shows that bank is growing, the reason of this growth offices of bank but I failed to find any copy from the branch where I can be either the increase in customer base or in the increase of rate have completed my internship then I have contacted zonal offices of lending. When I compare the markup/return/interest earned by the and they also did not have any copy of the financial statement of bank in the past 5 years it shows that the bank has improved its year 2009. With the reference of branch manager I have requested it primary function in recent years. The year from 2005 to 2007 shows a from the Head Office but I came to know that publication department decline in this income which is a clear sign that in that specific years has not published the financial statement for the year 2009. The last the bank performance was not satisfactory, the reason of this financial statement which is available in the printed form is of year performance can be the political unrest in the country due to which 2007. The financial statement of year 2008 is also not available in sufficient attention couldnt be given to banks working or it can be printed form however it is available on internet in the excel format result of large NPLs. which does not include director and auditor report. This is the reason that the horizontal and vertical analysis is done from 2004 to 2008. In the notes related to markup/return/interest earned it shows that the bank is earning a major part of its income from the loans given to However, the Key Financial Trends of year 2009 is included in the customers, the bank has less focus of investment. However, it is report which I have obtained from the credit rating report published earning a handsome amount from the placement which it has made by Japan Credit Rating Agency on August 2010. The internship report with other banks. also includes a glimpse view of banks performance from 1997 till 2009 which I have collected from the banks website, other websites Markup/Return/ Interest Expensed and newspapers. Markup/Return/ Interest Expensed is the expense of bank on taking deposits and borrowings from the SBP. This expense shows an increase as compared to previous years which shows that banks cost of deposits and borrowings has been increased. This increase can be due to two reasons, it can be due to increase in the amount of deposits and borrowing or it can be due to increase in the rate the bank offered on deposits and on borrowing from SBP. In the notes it shows that bank is paying a large amount on borrowing from the SBP rather than on the deposits. It can be due to two reasons that either bank has deposits in the current account on which it has to pay no or less cost or it is due to less deposits. From the amount of deposits in the balance sheet it is clear that the deposits of bank are 47

not of significant amount as compared to borrowing. I also know that bank is working manly on the amount borrowed from SBP rather than on deposits collected from the general public and institutes. An increase in markup/return/interest expensed is not a bad sign if the markup/return/interest income is also increasing, however if the increase in expense is more than the increase in the income than it will be a negative sign. From the vertical analysis of Profit and Loss account it is clear that the income is much more than the expense which shows that the bank has cushion to confront with other expenses incurred due to secondary functions of the bank which is a positive sign.

Net Markup/Interest IncomeIt is the income which the bank is earning after paying the markup/return/interest expensed. From the horizontal analysis of the profit and loss it is clear that there are many ups and downs in this income which is result of decline in the markup/return/interest income of the bank. But in the year 2008 it shows recovery and it is increased as compared to previous two years of 2006 and 2007. When I look net income in terms of amount in the profit and loss accounts of last five years I find it positive and a handsome amount to bear the other expenses of the bank. Because the horizontal analysis is showing result by taking 2004 as a base year that is why in the year 2006 and 2007 it shows negative sign which means that in these two years the net income of the bank has been decreases as compared to year 2004. But in the year 2008 it again shows recovery.

Provision again Non-Performing LoansThis shows the cost bank is charging to it P&L account against those loans which may become bad debts; almost all banks try to reduce this cost. This shows the customer base of the bank to which bank is lending, the lesser the cost the better and trustworthy client base the bank has. Horizontal analysis of P&L A/C shows the decline in the recent years in this provision which is a positive sign for the bank. Which shows that banks credit and recovery departments has improved their workings.

Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010

Provision/ (reversal) against diminution in the value of investmentThis shows any provision required to charge or reverse for the investment made by the bank. An increase in the provision shows that the investments of the banks are declining in value which will definitely result in loss and if the provision made before is reversed it shows that the value of the investment is increasing. The horizontal analysis of the P&L account shows that the provision created by the bank is reduced in 2008 as compare to 2007 which is a positive sign. The reason of large provision in 2007 can be due to uncertainty in the stock market etc.

Write offs under Government Relief Packages

ZTBL is a government bank due to which the government can ask it to give relief to loanees of particular regions of category which also increase the cost for the bank. The flood of 2010 is expected to increase this cost in this financial year too because a large number of farmers have been effected with this flood and they are not in the situation to return their borrowed amount to the bank. For the year 2008 there is not any amount which is asked by the government to write off but in the year of 2007 and 2006 there is some amount which banks directly written off on the instructions of the government.

Net markup/ Interest income after provisionsThis is net income after charging provisions. An increase in this income is a positive sign which can be due to two reasons that either the net markup/return/interest income has increased or the provision required to be charged by the bank is reduced due to less number of NPLs loans. So, if the net markup/interest income after provision is increasing it is a positive sign because the bank will have more amounts to pay its other expenses like admin expenses etc. and it will result in more Gross Profit.

Non Markup/Interest IncomeIt is the income which the bank in earning from its secondary functions. An increase in this income is also a positive sign it shows that the bank is also making its secondary functions profitable. The secondary functions shows the amount earned from the commission charged in the services offered by the bank, the dividend income etc.

But this income may also have a portion of income gained by the bank by the sale of scrap or old machinery etc. It is not a positive sign if this income is larger part of total non markup/interest income. Because, the bank will not have the scrap to sale in all years and having larger part of this income of sale of scrap will definitely depicts that the banks profitability can be affected in the coming years. However, if the bank has sold old machinery and in the meanwhile new machinery is added in the assets of the bank than it will be a positive sign because it will show that the bank is working on BMR (Balancing, Modernizing and Restructuring) which will result in better performance. The profit and loss account of the bank is showing an increase in the non markup/interest income which is a positive sign. The vertical analysis of the profit and loss shows that other income is the larger part in non markup/interest income and from the notes it is clear that in the other income, the amount recovered which has been written off previously is making a bigger portion. Recovering a previously written off loan is a positive sign because it is causing an increase in the income of the bank.

Non Markup/Interest ExpensesIt consist on the expenses bank payed for admin expenses and some other expenses. But the admin expenses is usually a large part of this non markup/interest expenses and also it is most important expenditure to have a look upen because it shows that whether the bank is utilizing its human capital efficiently or not. A larger admin expenses is not a negative sign if it is also increasing the income of the bank. However, if the percentage change in the increase in the admin expenses is more than the percentage in the increase in the income than it is a negative sign beacause is paying more to increase its income. Almost all banks try to control this income so that to increase their income. The ratio of Admin Expenses to Deposits is used to check the cost bank is facing on collecting of deposits which is the main source of money bank required to lend to others to make income. However, in ZTBL the bank relies on borrowing from SBP more than on deposits so the efficiency of admin expenses can not be judge from the ratio of admin expenses to deposits. So, it is difficult to say anything about the cost of admin expenses.

Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010

From the horizontal analysis it is clear that the admin expenses has been increased in 2008 but the profit of the bank is also increased so it is not a negative sign. By looking in the notices of financial statement it is found that admin expenses consists on a number of expenses, salaries of the staff no doubt a major a part of it but other expenses like traveling expenses, motor vehical cost of repairing etc are also effecting this cost a lot. Because I know that the MCO scheme has become a major part of the banks working so increase in the cost of traveling, rapairing is not a surprise.

Profit before TaxationThe profit before taxation has been significantly increased in the recent years, the financial statement for the 2009 is still not available on internet nor in print format but some key facts which has been published by the bank for the 2009 shows that bank continues making profit in year 2009 also. When I look in the previous year it found that the profit before taxation is 2.5 times more than it was in 2004. However, the increase in the profitiability is not constant there are ups and downs in it. Like in 2005 and 2006 the profit of the bank has been decresed as comapred to 2004 and in 2007 it again started increasing and this continues till 2009 which have result of more than 2 Billion.

TaxationDue to increase in the profit the tax has been also increased, it is almost doubled in the last 5 years like the profit of the bank which has been also doubled. So, it not a negative sign. By compare the increse in the profit before tax and the increase in tax, I come to know that the increase in the tax is less than increase in profit which can be due to two reason that whether the rate of tax is not increased as the income of the bank or the bank is managing its tax efficiently.

Profit after Tax

The after tax profit of the bank continued to increase in the recent years which is a good sign and also shows that bank has improved its working a lot than few years before. The profit for the year 2008 is almost 300% more than the 2004 which show that the profit of the bank is tripled in last five years. The same trend continued in 2009 in which the bank also made a record profit.

Interpetation of Horizontal and Vertical Analysis of Balance SheetCash and Balance with Treasury BanksIt shows the amount placed with SBP in order to fulfill the requirement of banking companies ordinance, 1962. There is a decline in the amount with respect to previous year, the reason of it can be the decrease in the volume of deposits due to which the bank is not required to maintain higher placement with SBP. However, the deposits also show an increase in it, so the reason of this decrease in the cash and balances with treasure bank is uncertain. One other can be this that the bank has placed higher amount with SBP than required in the previous year and that is why in this year the bank has withdrawal the money from its account with SBP.

Balances with other BanksHorizontal analysis of Balance sheet shows significant increase in the placement with other banks. It is not a good sign if the placement is in ideal state and is not generating any revenue for the bank. However, from the notes of ZTBL it is clear that the bank has placed amount with other banks in the accounts which are giving markup to the bank. Placing money with other institutions is not a good thing for any bank when does on a large scale because it cannot generate enough money to compensate the opportunity cost the bank is bearing on not investing or advancing this money to its customers. However, the case of ZTBL is different. It borrows money from SBP at fewer rates and lends it to farmers. The rate it charges to farmers is less than the prevailing rate in the market (currently 9%) so by depositing money with other financial institution it can earn more than the rate it is offering to its clients. Because it is an institute developed just for the improvement of agricultural sector so the banks main focus is on lending rather than investing.

Investments-net

There are ups and downs in the amount of investment made by the bank in the previous five years. From the notes to the account it is

Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 clear that bank usually invest in less risky investment like Market Treasury Bills and Pakistan Investment Bonds. The less risky investment will result in less gain on investment but here the return on investment is not the main focus of the bank. The money the bank owns is largely consist on the borrowed money from SBP, so the bank cannot use the borrowed money in a more risky adventure.

Advances-netThe bank continues to increase the amount of advances to facilitate more and more farmers every year. The data of 2009 shows a record increase in lending to farmers; the bank has disbursed 77.7 Billion rupees in 2009 as compared to 70.7 Billion in 2008. The percentage increase in the horizontal analysis also shows this continuous increase in the trend of advancing.

Operating Fixed AssetsThe assets of the bank are also increased in 2008 and in 2009 the president of the bank also announced to increase it further by constructing new buildings. Increase in the fix assets shows that the bank is optimistic about its future.

BorrowingsIt is the amount which bank has borrowed from SBP. There is no change in this loan from 2004 the reason is that neither SBP has given new loan to ZTBL nor ZTBL has returned any principal amount of loan back to SBP due to which the amount of loan borrowed remain unchanged. ZTBL and SBP is now negotiating on terms and conditions of returning principal amount in 15 equal installments.

DepositsDeposits are the backbone in any bank operations because the primary function of any bank is to take deposit from depositors and then lend it again to other who needs it. But as I have written before ZTBL does not rely on deposits more like any other bank. However, in recent years the bank is trying to shift its dependence from SBP to other resources and due to this it starts increasing its deposits by marketing. But the efforts in this respect is still need improvements as the products offered by ZTBL is not as attractive as offered by other commercial banks.

Share Capital53

Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd.

2010

In 2008 the bank has issued bonus shares to increase its paid up capital. The reason of this increase can be the requirement of SBP to maintain a minimum equity level. Currently the paid up capital of the bank is 12.5 Billion.

Reserves

Reserves are made for the development of the organization or for the contingencies which can affect in the future. There is continuous increase in the reserves of the bank from last five years which is a good sign. These reserves also include the statutory reserve requirement according to banking companies ordinance, 1962.

Surplus on Revaluation of Assets-Net of Tax

It is surplus amount which is the bank expect to get if it will sell these assets. The market conditions never remain certain; the price of anything can rise or fall in matter of second. This is the reason that organizations use to revalue their assets to record their value according to prevailing market rates. The revaluation of fixed assets also helps banks in raising their equity which result in more lending power of the bank.

ConclusionAlthough the bank needs improvements in many fields, the overall performance of the bank is satisfactory. The bank has made many efforts in the recent years and it is clearly visible in the result of its financial statements. The reduction in NPLs is also a positive sign and will definitely result in good performance. Besides a government institution the bank has made before tax profit of 4.9 Billion which is great achievement. If the process of improvement continues than it can make more profit in the upcoming years and its success will also result improvement in financing facilities to people of rural area.

RatiosThe reason of negative spread is that the bank use to borrow from SBP rather than getting deposits from the general public due to which the ratio of admin expenses depicts a large cost than expected because this ratio is calculated by dividing admin expenses with the deposits. In my opinion the admin expenses is required to be calculated by adding borrowing also with the deposit. For example if we will calculate this ratio by adding borrowing with deposits than the result for 2008 will be 7.975 rather than 83.322 which is acceptable. By calculating all admin expenses with this formula the result of spread will be like this.

By calculating the admin expenses in this way the result of spread is still in negative but not as much as it was before. However, all this shows that there is still problem the bank is not utilizing its human capital as it needs to. The main reason behind this is the working style of the bank, because it a government institute so the wastage of resources is not a surprise thing. However, the bank is continually improving its working style and also moving towards making high profit. Ratio of net markup to total income shows that bank has improved its secondary function as wel. But this improvement is not stable one when I look the ratios of previous years, it shows ups and downs in it.

Return on assetsReturn on assets is a ratio uses to gain information that how much assets of the company producing profit, the more the result of this ratio the more efficently the bank is utilizing its assets. More than 2 is considerd a good ratio and the result of ZTBL is also showing good result, the ratio of 2009 is also more than 2 which is found in the report published by Japan Credit Rating Agency.

Infection ratioIt is an important ratio which shows that how much advances of the bank is placed under classified advances. In other words, it shows that how much loans given by the bank is considered to become bad debts. The more this ratio is, the more the bank needs to maintain the provisions against these loans and which will result in lesser profitability. Usually, ideal situation is conisdered where this ratio is less than 5%, in this situation the bank has a biger portion of customers which are trust worthey and have credit worthiness. The infection ratio of ZTBL is very high which can be considered a negative sign. However, keeping in view the previous records it is clear that bank has improved it a lot and all this improvement is giving

Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 sense that if bank continue working with the same pace than in the next two to three years this ratio will decrease significantly and can come under satisfactory level. The record of NPLs is given in the Quick View of ZTBLs Performance.

Provision to Classified AdvancesThis ratio tells that how much provision the bank is maintaing against its classified advances. The more this provision is, the more it can be assumed that the classified advances of bank is in the category of loss. Maintaing provision is the requirement of Prudential Regulations of State Bank of Pakistan, the more risky the loan is the more provision the bank is required to maintain. The bank has to keep its classified advances in the four categories, (1) Other Assets Especially Mentioned (2) Substandard (3) Doubtful (4) Loss. Each category has its own requirement of provision, the higher the category, the higher the provision required to maintain. The ratio calculated from the financial statement of ZTBL shows a continuous increase, it is a negative sign because the bank is maintaining larger provision which shows that a large part of classified advances are in the category of loss. And it shows that bank is not doing enough to recover these loans.

Advances to DepoistsAdvances to deposit shows that how much part of deposit is used by bank to advance. Usually this ratio remains with in range of 70 to 75 % because 25% of all bank deposits is required to be kept in statutory reserve to maintain minimum liqudity requirement. The ratio of ZTBL is presenting a different scenerio, it is more than 1400% for the year 2008 which an abnormal result. I have mentioned the reason of it many times before in this report, the reason is that ZTBL is advancing a large part out of the loan it has obtained from the SBP. The borrowing of the bank is much larger than the deposits it has this is the reson that this ratio is showing such result.

Key Financial Trends of 2009According to Japan Credit Rating Agency on August 2010

Note: The following is the extract from the report of JapanCredit Rating Agency issued on August 2010 showing the new credit rating of ZTBL. Balance sheet footing of the bank was higher at year-end 2009 at Rs. 113.6b. Net advances increased to Rs. 83.6b (2008: Rs.69.b) representing a higher proportion of total assets at 74% at year-end 2009. While various new loan products have been launched been launched by the bank in 2009, Sada Bahar Scheme has remained the flagship product of the bank. For all new borrowers of crop production loans, Awami Zarai Scheme (AZS) has been launched by the bank; outstanding balance against this scheme may also show increase over time. To ensure proper utilization of loan, the bank has incorporated a

Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 wholly owned subsidiary to make arrangement for in-kind lending to farmers. The IT infrastructure of the bank has improved considerably over time. With the implementation of various applications at branch-level to consolidate loan disbursement & recovery data, monitoring of lending activities has improved, though there may still be a need to further strengthen the loan recovery mechanism. Gross infection has declined from16.7% in 2008 to 15.8% in 2009; however there is still need for further strengthening the recovery mechanism. Net infection hovered at prior years level at 11.5%. Net NPLs in relation to Tier-1 capital stood at almost 57% at year-end 2009. ZTBL has arranged crop loan insurance for wheat, cotton, sugarcane, rice and maize. As the insurance coverage is enhanced, the risk of loss in case of calamities will be reduced.

Growth in loan portfolio during 2009 absorbed some of the liquidity held by the bank. Liquid assets to total borrowings and deposits declined to 27%. The bank has made efforts to enhance its deposit base, though these continue to represent a small proportion of the total resource base. The bank had outstanding borrowings of Rs. 54.5b from SBP at year-end 2009. The terms of restructuring of SBP debt have yet to be finalized, which would have significant implications for the risk profile of the institution. The bank has so far not made any interest or principal payments against these credit lines. While there is some cushion available to the bank in terms of markup differential receivable from the GoP vis--vis interest payable to SBP, liquidity profile may be significantly compromised if payment is required against the principal portion. One of the proposals under consideration entailed debt to equity swap, which if finalized, would support 59

capitalization levels and facilitate in furthering the governments economic objective pursued through the bank.

Credit RiskGross advances of the bank considerably grow over 2009, with yearend outstanding balance of Rs. 89.4b (2008: Rs. 77.8b). Loan disbursements of around Rs. 78b were made by the bank in the outgoing year. Loan disbursement target for fiscal year 2010 was Rs. 80b. ZTBL is used as an arm by the Government, with disbursement target stipulated as part of the annual budget process. For FY10, 22.7% of the loan disbursement target pertained to development loans, while remaining was for production loans. All targets are allocated by SBP. While various new loan products have been launched by the bank, Sada Bahar Scheme has remained the flagship product of the bank. Loan products launched in 2009 include, Green Tractor Scheme, Crop Productivity Scheme and Rural Development Scheme. Green tractor scheme is specifically for the province of Punjab and entails subsidy of RS. 200,000 per unit for 10,000 tractors. Banazir tractor scheme is applicable to all areas of Pakistan. On receiving complaints from borrowers regarding non-cooperative attitude of tractor dealers, a tractor delivery system has been developed through KSSL in the outgoing year. Awami Zarai Scheme (AZS) has been launched by the bank for all new borrows of production loans, pertaining to inputs required at the time of crop cultivation. As per the scheme, agriculture inputs will be supplied by KSSL to farmers in lieu of cash. Quantity of input needed for each crop on a per acre basis has been predetermined by the bank. The farmers will be provided a specific quantity of inputs according to cultivable land.

Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 The purpose of AZS is to ensure proper utilization of loan proceeds. Crop productivity scheme is specifically for financing of fertilizer. Rural development scheme has been launched to provide assistance for dairy, poultry, sheep and goat farming in the rural areas of AJ&K; especially earthquake affected areas. The bank has also setup a pilot project for a model village in collaboration with ministry of food & agri./ provincial agri. Departments. Crop loan insurance has been made compulsory by SBP for wheat, cotton, sugarcane, rice and maize financing. To facilitate loan insurance, the bank has to pay the premium for subsistence farmers, which is subsequently reimbursed by GOP on a half yearly basis. ZTBL has arranged crop loan insurance with Adamjee insurance company limited (AICL). Premium is charged @ 1.3% of loan sanctioned. The implementation of software applications has facilitated monitoring of lending activities at branch level. The need for strengthening the collection mechanism however remains, as may be ascertained form the portfolio quality indicators. NPLs increased to Rs. 14.2b (2008: Rs. 13b) during 2009. During the out-going year, an amount of Rs. 2.6b was charged off against provisions as per the prudential regulations, with cumulative balance of charged off loans standing at Rs.34.98b at the end of December 2009. This amount was lower than the balance of Rs. 36.30b at the end of December 2008, on amount of recoveries of 4.29b made against charge off amount. At year-end 2009, gross infection in the loan portfolio of the bank remained high at 15.8% (2008: 16.7%). The overall agriculture loan portfolio of the banking sector had gross infection of 16.1% (2008:15.3%) at end-December 2009. Around 52 %( 2008: 47%) of NPLs were classified as OAEM at year-end. On account of this,, provisioning coverage against total NPLs Is low. Net infections (NPLs adjusted for specific provisioning only was 11.5% (2008:11.2%). Minimum recovery target set by the bank entails 90.8% of current dues and 75% of past dues. In 2009, recovery of 91% was achieved against current dues, while 72.4% recovery was made against past dues. Recovery targets are monitored on a branch-wise basis; in branches 61

where overall recovery is less than 75% loan approval authority is retracted. The bank held fixed income securities of Rs. 6.7b at December 2009, increasing form Rs. 4.5b at the end of the preceding year. Of these, only Rs. 283.65m was placed in COIs whiles remaining comprised government paper, credit risk associated with which is considered minimal. COIs are also placed with counterparties of sound risk profile. In addition to the above, the bank has Rs. 100m invested in a wholly owned subsidiary.

Market RiskNet investments of the bank increased to Rs. 7.2b (2008: Rs. 5.1b) at end- December 2009. Around 73% of net investments comprised shortterm treasury bills. Price risk on the same is considered low. Fixed-rate long term PIBs represented 14% of net investments. These carry markup rates in the range of 12-13% and have maturities between Aug-Dec11. Recent increase in benchmark rate is expected to have reduced the market value of fixed income instruments held in the portfolio. However, the bank has both the intent & ability to hold these to maturity. Investment in equities at cost was maintained at Rs. 100.6m, comprising exposure in unlisted securities amounting to Rs. 10.5m. Investment in unlisted securities has been fully provided for various reasons. Investment in listed equities of Rs 89.3m had a market value of Rs 537m.

LiquidityTotal borrowings and deposits of the bank where higher at Rs. 63.2b (2008:Rs. 59.9b) at year end 2009 with increase in deposit to Rs. 8.75b (2008: Rs 5.43b). Borrowings were maintained at Rs. 54.5b at year-end 2009. Liquidity profile of the bank declined in relation to 2008, with liquid assets to total borrowing and deposits reducing to 27 %( 2008:36%). Depositors of the bank are primarily individuals. Proportion of current and saving accounts in the deposit mix was maintained at 94%. Since deposits still comprise a small proportion of funding mix; improvement

Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 in the deposits does not have a material impact on the cost of funding for the bank. The bank had outstanding borrowings to the tune of Rs. 54.5b from SBP at year-end 2009. These borrowings were obtained to provide finance to clients for agriculture. At the time of reorganization of ADBP into ZTBL, these credit lines were restructured and a moratorium was given to ZTBL according to which it had been allowed to repay SPB debt in 15 years (in 30bi-annual installments) with a grace period of 3 years starting from July 2003 and the last payment was supposed to be of Rs. 3.20b, representing the subordinated loan. At the time of restructuring, the bank had proposed to cap the markup on these borrowings at 2.3558 %( 12 month t-bill rate as at July 01, 2003) for five years but the matter had not been acceded to by the SBP. Since then, various restructuring proposals have been discussed by the bank with the ministry of Finance and SBP, though an agreement on this issue has still to be achieved. The bank has not made any principal repayment on the premise that the restructuring terms have not been finalized. These loans are secured by way of federal government guarantee. Presently, the bank is accruing interest expense on these at varying rates. Three credit lines amounting to Rs. 1.577b carry interest rate of 4% p.a. while remaining thirty two lines amounting to Rs. 48.597b are based on PLS subject to maximum share of profit to SBP ranging from 4-10% p.a. markup on subordinated loan is being charged at weighed average yield of t-bills of 12 months maturity. No return however has been actually paid by the bank, with a total payable of Rs. 19.54b having been accrued by December 32, 2009. Any plan requiring immediate payment of the either the interest expense or principal may place significant stress on the bank, as it does not have the required liquidity. However, the bank also has markup differential of Rs. 17.74b receivable from the government. This amount is not recognized on books. There are also other amounts recoverable from the government in lieu of relief packages, with outstanding balance of Rs. 956.27m at year-end 2009.

ProfitabilityReturn on markup bearing assets declined to 9.8% on account of decline in high-yielding lending to financial institutions. Nevertheless, interest income of the bank increased to Rs. 8.7b (2008: Rs 8.5b) attributable to overall higher average markup bearing assets during 63

Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd.

2010

2009. Net interest income of the bank also depicted an increase to Rs. 5.1b (2008: Rs.4.98b). Cost of funding hovered at 6%, thus spreads declined to 4%. Cash outlay has not been made by bank for payment of interest on borrowings, and interest in only being accrued on books. Non interest income of the bank was higher at Rs. 38.2 m attributable to increase in dividend income on investments. Other revenues primarily comprising recoveries on charged off loan amounts was Rs. 4.3b (2008: Rs 4.8), taking total revenues, net of financial charges, to Rs. 11.2b (2008: Rs. 10.4b). Administrative expenses of the bank inclined to Rs. 5.2b (2008:Rs. 4.5b), in line with inflationary trends in the economy. While salary expense experienced growth of 12% staff strength of the bank was rationalized to 5,352(2008: 5,370). In December 2005, the bank had introduced SR-2005, a retirement benefit scheme for its employees. A significant proportion of employees switched to SR 2005 from their existing pension scheme in 2005. The scheme was re-opened in 2009 and 1,097 Executives/officers of the bank opted for SR-2005, resulting in an expense of Rs. 677.8 to bank in 2009. Incremental provisioning against non-performing loans declined to Rs. 563 (2008: Rs. 1.9b). The bank posted profit before tax of Rs. 4.6b (2008: Rs. 3.99b) for 2009. Profit for 2009 was reduced to Rs. 1.8b (2008: Rs. 2.6) after adjustment of tax expense of Rs. 2.8b (2009: Rs. 1.4b) which pertained to current and prior year.

CapitalizationAs of December 31, 2009 equity of the bank was higher at Rs. 18.7b (2008: Rs. 16.9b), exceeding the minimum capital requirement of Rs. 6b mandated by SBP. Capital Adequacy Ratio of the bank was slightly lower at 21.7% (2008: 22.9%). Net NPLs to Tier 1 capital stood at 57% at end-December 2009. If the proposal of loan conversion into equity materializes, it will provide considerable momentum to capitalization of the institutions.

ZTBL have not introduced any Islamic product in financing. Islamic banking is becoming popular in these days and to sustain and increase the number
