8. Performance, Prospects & Pains:

Other than risks related to being a part of the Banking business being changes in the RBI’s norms, interest rate fluctuations rising NPA level management etc, Risks specific to the Bank are below:

• They will be unable to recover loans given to certain defaulting parties which are being pursued according to the SARFAESI Act.
• They are regionally concentrated in Kerela and depend on the political and economic condition of the South Indian region. Further, they may not be able to expand to other regions of India.
• Significant portions of their loans are secured by gold ornaments and any fall in the price of gold could affect the bank
• Their loans are concentrated to certain industries whos performance could impact their business. Mainly 19.38% is lent to NBFC including HFCs, 7.96% is lent out to Traders in Retail and Wholesales and 4.73% of their Advances are concentrated in the Textile Industry.
• Some of the Directors are involved in certain legal and other proceedings in India and may face certain liabilities as a result of the same.
• The Bank has not been able to maintain the minimum prescribed CRAR under the Basel III Norms in past. As on March 31, 2018, the CRAR under the Basel III Norms was 8.33% (including capital conservation buffer), as compared to the minimum prescribed regulatory requirement of 10.875% (which includes a capital conservation buffer of 1.875%). However, as on March 31, 2019, CRAR under the Basel III Norms was 16.70% (including capital conservation buffer), as compared to the minimum prescribed regulatory requirement of 10.875% (which includes a capital conservation buffer of 1.875%); but there can be no assurance that theywill be able to maintain CRAR above the minimum prescribed regulatory requirements in future.
• Some of their Corporate records are untraceable and they maybe penalized in the future for that
• The bank may not be able to maintain its CRL and SLR Requirements. In the past, the Bank has paid ` 0.36 million, ` 0.18 million, and ` 0.53 million to the RBI on account of default in maintaining SLR on a daily basis in Fiscals 1988, 1989, and 1990, respectively, as additional interest paid in respect of shortfalls in the SLR maintained during such periods. However, it has maintained our SLR and accordingly not paid any additional interest in respect of shortfalls in the SLR maintained post 1990.
• The bank issubject to Risk Based Supervision (“RBS”) by RBI. Non-compliance with the RBI observations could adversely affect business, financial condition,  results of operations and ability to obtain the regulatory permits and approvals required to expand business.the RBI has identified certain deficiencies in the operations of our Bank in the following areas: · credit appraisal and monitoring; data quality and automation;n monitoring and detection of frauds; compliance culture and risk monitoring; software and security measures; erroneous reporting and mis-classification; KYC non-compliance; and upgradation of ATMs.
• It requires prior permission from the RBI Before opening new branches especially in Tier 1 to 6 areas

What works for the Company:

• It has very little debt and hence is in a position to leverage in the future
• It is backed my Mr Prem Watsa who has a proven track record with companies through his company Fairfax like Quess Corp and Thomas cook to name a few
• Operating costs are expected to go down further as the salaries of new employee Is Rs 3.5 lakhs p.a which is significantly lower than the current average of Rs. 11.5 lakhs
• The Bank has reduced the retirement age from 60 to 58, this has helped them bring in newer management with better vision and abilities as the old one has retired
• The current CASA (Current Account to Savings Account) stands at 28% which the management plans to take to 40 in the next few years
