2.1

Background of the Summit Power Ltd

Summit Power Ltd. is the pioneer in the private sector power production field in Bangladesh. Summit Power is the largest local Independent Power Producer. SPL is also the first power generating company to be listed in the local stock exchanges. Summit Power Limited (SPL), a company Summit Group, is the first Bangladeshi Independent Power Producer (IPP) in Bangladesh and until now the only local company in private electricity generation and supply business providing power to national grid. SPL was incorporated in Bangladesh on March 30, 1997 as a Private Limited Company. On June 7, 2004 the Company was converted to Public Limited Company under the Companies Act 1994.

Summit Group is one of the leading investment and industrial business house in Bangladesh. The major sectors in which the group is currently investing in include power generation, port such as container freight station, tank terminal, shipping, property development, construction, civil & hydro engineering & trading. The sponsors of Summit group are interested in infrastructure sectors in Bangladesh and abroad. This has led to the establishment of the first barge mounted power plant in Bangladesh namely Khulna Power Co. Ltd, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) plant in gas starved area at Mongla Bagerhat, 54 km long gas pipeline of 30 inches diameter from Ashugonj to Hobiganj, Container Freight Station in Chittagong etc. The company is also exploring energy markets in Sri Lanka and Vietnam which have emerging energy sector open to investment. Summit Power Limited has successfully established in the year 2001 three power plants each with 11 MW capacities for sale of electricity to Rural Electrification Board (REB) under build, own and operate basis at Savar, Narsingdi, and Comilla. The company has already expanded its total generation capacity to 105 MW. Summit Power Limited is going to implement another four power plants totaling a capacity of 110 MW through its two subsidiary companies Summit Uttaranchol Power Company Limited and Summit Purbanchol Power Company Limited.

2.2 At present Summit Power Ltd

Local Summit Group and US General Electric (GE) signed an agreement on Thursday with IDLC to receive $115 million from the World Banks Investment Promotion Facilitation Fund to implement two 341-megawatt power projects in Bibiyana. On the same day, the two companies signed another deal with Janata Bank and Industrial and Infrastructure Development Finance Company (IIDFC) to raise Tk 1,500 crore through zero-coupon bonds. This fund will be pumped into the Meghnaghat dual fuel 335MW power project. Summit was awarded the Bibiyana gas-fired projects and the Meghnaghat power project about four months back. The Bibiyana projects will need $560 million (Tk 3,920 crore) and Meghnaghat Tk 2,100 crore investment. The Thursdays deal ensures a large part of financing for these three power projects expected to begin production in early 2013 of the cheapest electricity costing less than Tk 2 per kilowatt hour. Summit Group Chairman Muhammed Aziz Khan said Janata Bank and IIDFC would provide Summit with Tk 1,500 crore against a sanction of Tk 2,100 crore financing. The remaining Tk 600 crore is deducted as advance interest for the next four years. As infrastructure like this has long gestation periods, zero-coupon bonds enable companies to implement these projects with an optimised cash flow. The bonds carry a 5 percent discount and 12 percent convertible to the shares of Summit Meghnaghat Power Company at net asset value of the company.
Summit Power Ltd has recently become the lowest in yet two more power tenders, Syedpur 100MW power plant and Shantahar 50MW power plant. Reports say the prime minister signed the work award orders on January 21.

Chapter 3 An overview of Credit Management

Page 31

Credit Risk Grading of Summit Power ltd

3.1 Overview :

Credit is the heart of bank.The success and failure of bank depends largely on efficient handling of their fund.In the past i.e.70 to 80 years ago credit was simple because at that time lenders personally knew the borrowers.As commerce and industry grew, the activities of credit management have changed. In the past, credit management was only concerned about the protection of lenders own funds but in the modern banking lenders are not concerned about the protection of their own funds but also concerned with the future of the industry which borrowers own and the protection of borrowers fund.In credit management , a credit officer has to do a lot of works. For deciding to grant credit, he has to apply his common sense. Commonsense like, what he has to ensure the safety if ha wants to invests his own fund. For investing own funds one has to ensure the (1) Safety of his own money; (2) recovery of his own money; and (3) actual help to others in time of need (Srinivasa 1986,1). Like own funds, in making granting decision , a credit officer should satisfy himself/herself about the safety , recovery of his funds, and needs of the borrowers. In granting decision, a credit officer should be careful because a little bit of unconsciousness and ignorance can lead to heavy losses to the bank. This knowledge of lending cannot be taught nor learnt by reading a expertise book but by ones own experience and commonsense and helping attitude (Srinivasa 1986,2).

3.2 Definition of Credit :


Encyclopedia of Banking and Finance describes the origin and defines credit as.

Credit derived from Latin word credo means I believe, and usually define as the ability to buy with a promise to pay, or the ability to obtain title to, and receive goods for enjoyment in the present although payment is deferred to a future date.

Page 31

Credit Risk Grading of Summit Power ltd

Credit is the provision of financial accommodation to a person, in return for a promise to repay it at some future date. It may be extended as cash, or supply of goods or services. The former type of credit is called lender credit and later is referred as vendor credit is, it enables a person to spend in excess of his/her actual
means in present.

3.3 Credit Management :

In the simplest form, management is the process of getting things done by others. In

the broader concept, management involves various systematic plan and actions to achieve the goal of the organization. Credit management is the process of accomplishing various tasks relating to deciding grant or not granting credit to others, determination of terms and conditions, proper documentation, frequent monitoring and reviewing the performance of borrowers and taking necessary steps to ensure smooth recovery of credit which ensure profit maximization of the bank. Bank in the developing countries often do not have a well developed credit
management process and the main deficiencies of this are : The absence of written policies.

The absence of portfolio concentration limits excessive centralization or decentralization of landing authority. Poor industry analysis. A cursory financial analysis of borrowers. An excessive reliance on collateral. Infrequent customer contact. The inadequate checks and balance in the credit process. Absence of loan supervision. A failure to improve collateral position as credit deteriorates. Poor control on loan documentation. Excessive overdraft lending. Incomplete credit files. The absence of asset classification and loan loss provisioning standards, and

Page 31

Credit Risk Grading of Summit Power ltd

A failure to control and audit the credit process effectively (Diana and Clayton 1997, 32).

3.4 Steps in credit management :

Credit management task starts from making strategic targets for credit markets and

end with recovery of credit. Broadly credit management involves the following main steps : First, one must determine priority sectors he/she is interested to lend and prohibited sectors he/she is not interested to lend (Credit policy formulation), Second, one must determine which borrowers are likely to pay their debt (Credit investigation and analysis). Third, one must decide how much credit he/she is prepare to extend in each borrower (Credit approval). Fourth, he/she must decide what evidence he/she need of indebtedness (Documentation. Fifth, after ha/she has granted credit, he/she has the problem of collecting the money when its becomes due. How does he/she keep track of payments ? (Monitoring, review, and loan recovery). By analyzing the above steps, the study identifies the following steps in credit management : Strategic plan for target credit markets. Credit policy formulation. Client request/relationship marketing. Loan interviewing. Credit investigation. Credit analysis. Preparation of credit analysis report/preparation of proposal. Loan sanction, loan structuring, loan negotiation. Loan documentation. Loan disbursement. Loan monitoring/review.

Problem loan identification and resolution and Loan recovery.

3.5 Changing status & Qualification of Credit Management


(Evolution of credit management)
The major factor contributing to the changing status and qualifications for credit

management has been the rapid and tremendous growth of industry and commerce. When business was mostly under the control of a sole proprietor and relatively small in size, the approval of credit was simple and personal matter.50 to 70 years ago, it was customary that lenders were to visits market once or twice in a year. At that time borrowers were personally known to lenders, the size of business was small and for a number of years bookkeepers were in controls of the credit management task. With the pace of development of commerce, the personal relationship was lost and some other basis was needed to manage commerce credit. It was logical that the task should fall on someone within the company. As commerce and industry grew, it becomes apparent that the work of bookkeeper credit man would have to dividend. Parallel to the commercial and industrial developments of the last couple of centuries a high degree of administrative efficiency has been attained through better organization and specialization. With the organization of the national association of credit management in U.S.A in 1896 and several other developments supported the significance of professional credit management. Improved source of credit information; better accounting methods, redefinition of the techniques of financial statement analysis recognized the professional character of credit work. Significant relationships of credit to business finance , production , marketing and financial operations of the business sought out credit work as group and need an increased number of highly qualified people. The complexity of modern day business and the need for specialization created this condition, and it fostered the status held by todays credit managers.

Now credit management has moved up to the status of an established business group, with prerogatives, responsibilities, standards and ethics.

4.1 Credit risk management:


Credit risk is the uncertainty in a counterparty's (also called an obligor's or credit's) ability to meet its obligations. The goal of credit risk management is to maximize a bank's risk-adjusted rate of return by maintaining credit risk exposure within acceptable parameters. Banks need to manage the credit risk inherent in the entire portfolio as well as the risk in individual credits or transactions. Banks should also consider the relationships between credit risk and other risks. The effective management of credit risk is a critical component of a comprehensive approach to risk management and essential to the long-term success of any banking organization. Because there are many types of counterparties--from individuals to sovereign governments-and many different types of obligations--Institutions manage it in different ways. In assessing credit risk from a single counterparty, an institution must consider three issues: Default probability:

What is the likelihood that the counterparty will default on its obligation either over the life of the obligation or over some specified horizon, such as a year? Calculated for a one-year horizon, this may be called the expected default frequency. Credit exposure:

In the event of a default, how large will the outstanding obligation be when the default occurs? Recovery rate:

In the event of a default, what fraction of the exposure may be recovered through bankruptcy proceedings or some other form of settlement? When we speak of the credit quality of an obligation, this refers generally to the counterparty's ability to perform on that obligation. This encompasses both the obligation's default probability and anticipated recovery rate.

4.2 Principles of Credit risk management: While financial institutions have faced difficulties over the years for a multitude

of reasons, the major cause of serious banking problems continues to be directly related to lax credit standards for borrowers and counterparties, poor portfolio risk management, or a lack of attention to changes in economic or other circumstances that can lead to a deterioration in the credit standing of a bank's counterparties. Banks need to manage the credit risk inherent in the entire portfolio as well as the

risk in individual credits or transactions. Banks should also consider the relationships between credit risk and other risks. A prudent Banker should always adhere to the following general principles of Background, Character and ability of the borrowers Purpose of the facility, Term of facility, Safety, Security, Profitability, Source of repayment, Diversity. Since exposure to credit risk continues to be the leading source of problems in banks world-wide, banks and their supervisors should be able to draw useful lessons from past experiences. Banks should now have a keen awareness of the need to identify, measure, monitor and control credit risk. While the exact approach chosen by individual supervisors will depend on a host of factors, including their on-site and off-site supervisory techniques and the degree to which external auditors are also used in the supervisory function. A further particular instance of credit risk relates to the process of settling financial transactions. If one side of a transaction is settled but the other fails, a loss may be incurred that is equal to the principal amount of the transaction. Even if one party is simply late in settling, then the other party may incur a loss relating to

lending funds to his customers.

Credit Risk Grading of Summit Power ltd missed investment opportunities. Settlement risk thus includes elements of liquidity, market, operational and reputational risk as well as credit risk.

4.3 Internal and external risk factors of credit risk:


The landing risk is to be primarily calculated from two angles, namely, Business risk and security risk. The Business risk is again divided under two categories of risk, i.e., industrial risk and company risk, which again divided into six categories. A form has been designed by the FSRP to help assessment of these risks. The form and a short description is given below Credit Risk

Tools used in Credit risk management Some tools used in credit risk management, like credit analysis, credit exposure, loan classification. These are describes below:

4.4 Credit analysis:


Credit analysis refers to the default risk analysis in which a loan officer attempts to evaluate a borrowers ability and willingness to repay. Generally through credit analysis the loan officer analyze all available information to determine whether the loan meets the banks risk-return objectives. To analyze credit three techniques are used: (i) a) Qualitative analysis, Quantitative analysis and Credit Risk Grading. Qualitative Analysis Character:

In the qualitative analysis the bank usually analyze the 5 Cs of the customer The loan officer must be convinced that the customer has a well-defined purpose for requesting bank credit and a serious intention to repay. If the officer is not sure exactly why the customer is requesting a loan, this purpose must be clarified to the banks satisfaction. To determine the character of the borrower, banker must investigate the following: Customers past payment records. Experience of other lenders with the customer. Purpose of loan. Customers track record in forecasting business or personal income. Credit Rating

Page 31

Credit Risk Grading of Summit Power ltd

a)

Capacity:

The loan officer must be sure that the customer requesting credit has the authority to request a loan and the legal standing to sign a binding loan agreement. Therefore the bank needs the following information: a) Identify of customer and guarantors. Description of history, legal structure, owners, nature of operation, products and Copies of resolution, partnership agreements, and other legal document Cash:

principal customers and suppliers for a business of the borrowers.

Here the loan officers analyze that whether they have ability to generate enough cash, in the form of cash flow, to repay the loan or not. b) Conditions:

The loan officer and credit analyst must be aware of recent trends in the borrowers line of work or industry and how changing economic conditions might affect the loan. To assess the situation the following points should be taken into consideration: a) Customers current position industry and expected market share. Customers performance vis--vis comparable firms in the same nature of Sensitivity of customer and industry to business cycles and changes in technology. Labor market condition of customers product, impact of inflation on the industry. Long run industry or job outlook. Regulations, political and environmental factors affecting the customer and / or Collateral:

business or industry.

his / her job, business and industry.

Page 31

Credit Risk Grading of Summit Power ltd In assessing the collateral aspect of a loan request, the loan officer must ask, does the borrower possess adequate net worth or own enough quality assets to provide adequate support for the loan? The loan officer is particularly sensitive to such features as the age, condition, and degree of specialization of the borrowers assets. Bank has to consider: (i) Ownership of assets, Vulnerability of assets to obsolete Liquidation and degree in specialization of value of assets Liens, encumbrances and restrictions against property held Leases and mortgages issued against property and equipment Guarantees and warranties issued to others Banks relative position as creditors in placing a claim against borrowers assets Quantitative Analysis

Using Quantitative analysis refers to the analysis of financial statement ratios to know the past performance of a company. Some of the key ratios which serve as a tool for financial analysis are classified as 1) Financial Ratio 2) Turnover Ratio 3) Profitability Ratio Financial Ratio Financial ratios indicate about the financial position of the company. A company is deemed to be financially sound if it is in a position to carry on its business smoothly and meet its obligations-both long-term as well as short term-without strain. Some of the important financial ratios are: Fixed Asset Ratio, Current Ratio, Quick Ratio, Debt Equity Ratio etc. Turnover Ratio The turnover ratios indicate the efficiency with which the capital employed is rotated. They are also known as Activity or efficiency ratio. The overall profitability of the business depends on the turnover i.e. the speed at which the capital employed in the business rotates. The higher the rate of rotation, the greater the profitability. Some important turnover ratios are: Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio, Working Capital Turnover ratio etc. Profitability Ratio

Page 31

Credit Risk Grading of Summit Power ltd Profitability is an indication of the efficiency with which the operations of the business are carried on. Poor operational performance may indicate poor sales and hence poor profits. Bankers look at the profitability ratio as an indicator whether or not the firm/company earns substantially more than it pays interest for the use of borrowed funds and whether the ultimate repayment of their debt appears reasonably certain. The important profitability ratios are: Overall Profitability Ratio, Gross Profit Ratio, Net Profit Ratio etc. (ii) Credit Risk Grading

Credit risk grading is an important part of credit analysis for credit risk management as it helps the banks & financial institutions to understand various dimensions of risk involved in different credit transactions. The aggregation of such grading across the borrowers, activities and the lines of business can provide better assessment of the quality of credit portfolio of a bank or a branch. At the pre-sanction stage, credit grading helps the sanctioning authority to decide whether to lend or not to lend, what should be the loan price, what should be the extent of exposure, what should be the appropriate credit facility, what are the various facilities, what are the various risk mitigation tools to put a cap on the risk level. At the post-sanction stage, the bank can decide about the depth of the review or renewal, frequency of review, periodicity of the grading, and other precautions to be taken. 4.5 Benefit of credit risk management: Maximize the value of your risk-management activities. Effective credit portfolio management is critical to the financial health of any company. This means setting the right credit amount and terms at account origination and, on revolving lines of credit, determining the right credit-line adjustments to profitably grow and retain existing customers. 1. 2. 3. 4.

4.6 Basel Accord II Implementation in the Bangladesh Banking Sector:


Like many developing countries, implementation of Basel II is a challenging issue for banking sector of Bangladesh. Smooth transition to Basel II requires implementation of Basel Core Principles (BCPs) and the introduction of related risk management practices. In a recent self-assessment study by Bangladesh Bank shows that Bangladesh is largely compliant of BCPs. BB has also introduced risk management practices in the banking sector since October 2003 focusing on 5(five) core risk areas such as credit risk, asset and liability/balance sheet risk, foreign exchange risk, internal control and compliance risk and money laundering risk. This provides a basic foundation for implementation of the New Accord. However, the Accord is complex, requires good understanding of risk modeling, validation and a wide historical data base. Other challenges include human resources capacity building both in the central bank as well as in commercial banks. Since the Accord will affect different banks in varying degrees. If a bank's loan portfolio is allowed to be rated by external agencies such as credit rating agencies, cautious steps need to be adapted. Good corporate governance in rating agencies needs to be ensured to avoid cherry-picking. Since the New Accord will cause substantial change in inspection methodology, supervisory departments of BB require upgrading and strengthening their human resources capacity so as to avoid supervisory lapses and shoulder their responsibilities in a professionally competent manner.

Chapter- 5 Credit assessment and risk grading

Page 31

Credit Risk Grading of Summit Power ltd

5.1 Credit assessment:


A thorough credit and risk assessment should be conducted prior to the granting of loans, and at least annually thereafter for all facilities. The results of this assessment should be presented in a Credit Application that originates from the relationship manager/account officer (RM), and is approved by Credit Risk Management (CRM). It is essential that RMs know their customers and conduct due diligence on new borrowers, principals, and guarantors to ensure such parties are in fact who they represent themselves to be. All banks should have established Know Your Customer (KYC) and Money Laundering guidelines which should be adhered to at all times. Credit Applications should summaries the results of the RMs risk assessment and include, as a minimum, the following details: o o o o Amount and type of loan(s) proposed. Purpose of loans. Loan Structure (Tenor, Covenants, Repayment Schedule, Interest) Security Arrangements.

5.2 Risk Grading:


All Banks should adopt a credit risk grading system. The system should define the risk profile of borrowers to ensure that account management, structure and pricing are commensurate with the risk involved. Risk grading is a key measurement of a Banks asset quality, and as such, it is essential that grading is a robust process. All facilities should be assigned a risk grade. Where deterioration in risk is noted, the Risk Grade assigned to a borrower and its facilities should be immediately changed. Borrower Risk Grades should be clearly stated on Credit Applications.

Page 31

5.3 Credit Risk Grading Definition:


A clear definition of the different categories of Credit Risk Grading is given as follows: Superior - (SUP) - 1 Credit facilities, which are fully secured i.e. fully cash covered. Credit facilities fully covered by government guarantee. Credit facilities fully covered by the guarantee of a top tier international Bank. Good - (GD) - 2 Strong repayment capacity of the borrower. The borrower has excellent liquidity and low leverage. The company demonstrates consistently strong earnings and cash flow. Borrower has well established, strong market share. Very good management skill & expertise. All security documentation should be in place. Credit facilities fully covered by the guarantee of a top tier local Bank. Aggregate Score of 85 or greater based on the Risk Grade Score Sheet. Acceptable - (ACCPT) - 3 These borrowers are not as strong as GOOD Grade borrowers, but still Borrowers have adequate liquidity, cash flow and earnings. Credit in this grade would normally be secured by acceptable collateral (1st Acceptable management. Acceptable parent/sister company guarantee. Aggregate Score of 75-84 based on the Risk Grade Score Sheet. Marginal/Watch list - (MG/WL) - 4

The continuance of the loan as a bankable asset is not warranted, and the anticipated loss should have been provided for. This classification reflects that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically valueless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. Bangladesh Bank guidelines for timely write off of bad loans must be adhered to. Legal procedures/suit initiated. Bangladesh Bank criteria for bad & loss credit shall apply. An Aggregate Score of less than 35 based on the Risk Grade Score Card.

At least top twenty-five clients/obligors of the Bank may preferably be rated by an outside credit rating agency.

5.4 How to Compute Credit Risk Grading:


The following step-wise activities outline the detail process for arriving at credit risk grading. Step I: Identify all the Principal Risk Components Credit risk for counterparts arises from an aggregation of the following: Financial Risk Business/Industry Risk Management Risk Security Risk Relationship Risk

7.2 Recommendation .

At first the SPL should find out the way to Reduce its bad loan amount further, to improve is loan performance quality. SPL holds huge reserves and fund that are not utilized. As a result, huge opportunity cost is incurred by SPL. So, it should be utilized more its reverse money in productive sector.

SPL should give more emphasize on liquidity management in a balanced way. SPLs training programs can encourage their trainees to seek additional education including computer classes, accounting, MBA programs and foreign language instruction. So the training should be fully fledged. Due to the unwanted increase of the oil price the world economy as well as Bangladesh economy is facing a big challenging situation. So the SPL is recommended to very careful to sanction further new plants and power stations. An industry wise integrated Credit Risk Grading system should be developed.

7.3 Conclusion .
Credit risk management practices in Bangladesh are not well developed. Now NCBs & PCB have significant amount of Bad loans and non performing loan. Even though Bangladesh Bank have taken various steps to minimize credit risk in NCBs and PCBs. The Lending Risk Analysis (LRA) manual introduced in 1993 by the Bangladesh Bank has been in practice for mandatory use by the Banks & financial institutions for loan size of BDT 1.00 crore and above. However, the LRA manual suffers from a lot of subjectivity, sometimes creating confusion to the lending Bankers in terms of selection of credit proposals on the basis of risk exposure. Meanwhile, in 2003 end Bangladesh Bank provided guidelines for credit risk management of Banks wherein it recommended, the introduction of Risk Grade Score Card for risk assessment of credit proposals. Since the two credit risk models are presently in vogue, the Governing Board of Bangladesh Institute of Bank Management (BIBM) under the chairmanship of the Governor, Bangladesh Bank decided that an integrated Credit Risk Grading Model be developed incorporating the significant features of the above mentioned models with a view to render a need based simplified and user friendly model for application by the Banks and financial institutions in processing credit decisions and evaluating the magnitude of risk involved therein. further the most important guidelines on Managing Core Risk in Banking developed by the focus group under the auspices of Bangladesh bank already implemented within the given deadline, have made new dimension in the whole banking arena. Following implementation of guidelines on credit risk management, entire credit operation has been streamlined with maintaining separate demarcation among the department under credit risk management.
