7.1.1    Capital And Reserves

VM s improved its capital and reserve in the last decades of 19th century. Its capital and reserve rise from 418 million in 1996 to 3012 million in 2005 which is 13.87% rise. In last year in 2004 it is 3002 and in 2005 it is 3012 which is increase in 10 million.


7.1.2    Deposit

It was anticipated in the beginning of the year under review that soon there would be improved investment climate and revival of economic activities as a result of measures initiated by the government. The bank, there, went in a big way for resources mobilization to met the future credit demand from the pervious sector. As a result, the deposit of the bank rose to Rs. 104 billion in June 1996 i.e. increases of Rs 29 billion and 37.7% over the December 2004 position.
However, in the meantime, the central bank took various measures which flooded banking sector in with surplus liquidity. The bank also reduced its return on treasury bills resulting in reducing the lending rates. The political instability in the second half of 2005 culminated in the change of government. The expectations for improvement investment climate and revival of economy did not materialize.

7.1.3    Advance

Advance has increased from Rs 43 billion in 2004 to Rs 5 billion in 2005, thus increasing by 29.37% during the year. Thought the advance to private sector has declined country wide, yet in case of VASTMEDIA BANK OF PAKSITAN LTD, the share of credit to private sector has improved marginally as compared to previous year.
During the yare there has been a cautioned emphasis on the recovery or regularization of Non- performing loans (NPL) and consequently over Rs 5 billion were recovered. This includes as cash recovery of Rs 1.87 billion and Rs 3.13 billion in regularization i.e. 37.4% and 62.6% respectively. 2
In spite of huge recoveries as affected the quantum of classified status of rescheduled and restructured loans which is requirement of prudential regulations. The fresh increase in mainly (51%) in the other assets especially mentioned (OAEM) classification which dose not requires provisioning against principal amount. However, the non-crediting of accrued mark-up to income account has adversely effected the profitability of the bank.
The bank, however, remains fully provided against bad and doubtful debts as prescribed under prudential regulations advised by the STATE BANK OF PAKISTAN.





7.1.4    Investment

The investments have increased from Rs. 25 billion in 2005 thus increasing by 4.78% during the years under review.
In order to concentrate on the core business of the bank, it were decided to close  down the operations of three subsidiaries namely vastmedia investment services (pvt) ltd. Panex international (pvt.) ltd and Vastmedia Arab International (pvt.) ltd.
The equity investment of the bank in the above companies has been fully recovered, thus reducing the investment in subsidiary companies from Rs.113 million in 2004 to Es 62 million in 2005 or we can say that its has 51%. This has been favorable for the capital adequacy of the bank.







7.1.5    Expenditure

The expenditure analysis of VASTMEDIA BANK OF PAKISTAN is almost the same as all of the other areas. The expenditures are continuously increasingly but they increased remarkably in the financial year 2005





7.1.6    Income

The income of vastmedia bank of Pakistan has increased substantially in last decade with a gradual and normal phase. The growth rate of VM is constant through out the decade but there was a slight decrease in the growth in the financial year 2005 which was greatly covered by the performance in the next year.

7.3       RATIO ANALYSIS

To evaluate a firm’s financial condition and performance, the financial analyst needs to perform check ups on various aspects of a firm’s financial health. A tool frequently used during these check is financial ratio or index, which relates two pieces of financial data by dividing one quantity by the other for the ratio analysis of the bank the data for the year 2004 and 2005 has been used which is the last publish data available.
A few financial ratios have been calculated which are as follows:

7.3.1    Profitability Ratios
·        Net Profit Margin (Or Net Return On Sales)
We apply the formula for net profit margin:

Net profit margin                   =    profit after taxation X 100
                                                                    Markup 

Net profit margin 2004            =     19592 X 100   
                                                           6059060
                                                 =        0.32%
     
 Net profit margin 2005          =      10544 X 100         
                                                          7287432
                                                =         0.14%

It shows the after taxation the profit margin per dollar of markup. Its shows as the VM decrees its par dolor profit by 0.18%. This indicates VM has been failed to control its operational expresses during the year 2005.
·        Gross Profit Margin
We apply the formula for gross profit margin.

Gross profit margin                      =      markup - cost
                                                            Markup

Gross profit margin 2004        =       6059060 – 5289971
                                                                 6059060
                                                 =          0.126   =    12.6%
Gross profit margin 2005         =     72877432 – 6953006
                                                              72877432
                                                  =       0.046       =     4.6%

The gross profit margin indicates the total margin available to cover operating expenses. Thus it’s indicating VM decrease its gross profit by 8% and its expenses is more then its earning.

·        Return On Total Assets
We apply the formula for return on total assets:

Return on assets                    =    profit after taxation X 100
                                                                    Total assets

Return on total assets              =       19592 X 100
                                                            89358167
                                                =           0.022%

Return on total assets              =       10544 X 100
                                                           106926331
                                                =          0.0098%    
    
The return on asset of bank has been dropped from .022% in 2005 to 0.0098% in 2006. This show management fails to utilize the assets of the bank efficiently.

·        Return On Stockholder’s Equity (Return On Net Worth)
 We apply the formula for return on net worth:

Return on equity                    =   profit after taxation X 100
                                                           Shareholder equity

Return on equity 2004            =    19592 X 100
                                                          1535010
                                                 =         1.28%

Return on equity 2005            =     10544 X 100
                                                         1545544    
                                                 =         0.68%

7.4            GENERAL ANALYSIS OF VM

Critical analysis is the essential part of the report, for the purpose of evaluation of the branch. Acquaintance with the branch for a period of two months provided an opportunity to understand the setup and procedures in detail and identify the problems existing. It is a portion in which problems are examined for the purpose of reporting finding. Putting forward ideas and making recommendations. Some of the problems in the current setup are highlighted as follow;

7.4.1    Employees Problem

 i.            Promotion

Employees, particularly officers are not satisfied from promotion policies. There are no clear cut policies about the promotion of employees, particularly for the offices and they must be aware of it i.e. policies must be communicated to them, when polices are communicated to the employees they can perform their task more efficiently and will utilize their full efforts. And employees promotion not only emphasis on NCR of any person but also VM introduce some other performance examination policies for promotion.  

ii.            Staff Shortage

The staff in VM is very short i.e. the staff posted in the branch can does work hard to finish their daily work.
Staff should be increased in the branch to the extent, so that, they can met their customer requirements. Specialty the cashier’s number should be in creased in each in the branch so that the customer get maximum benefit and the customer do not feel any problem in depositing and getting their amounts and also in their utility services.

iii.            Recruitment Policy

The top level management of Vastmedia bank of Pakistan, specially the main office of Peshawar doesn’t care about the appropriation of the recruitment policies. There are certain management technique available which helps the employer to make the recruitment process very swift, crystal clear to the candidates and eliminating the biases and favoritism type factors, but the VASTMEDIA BANK OF PAKISTAN top management feeling reluctant to make use of these management techniques. There fore this should be sorted out to improve the image of the bank.

iv.            Special Training

VM dose not provide the facility of specialized training to its staff, training is provided on the basis of centralization.



v.            Transportation Facility

VM does not provide the facility of pick and drop to its staff, it’s the big problem for the staff specially whose who live in for distance to come on time.

vi.            Improper Support Of Manager’s Decision

The decision of the manger are not properly supported and backed up by the higher level management.

vii.            Turn Over

Turn over means the movement of the organization employees from the organization. The turn over rates in VASTMEDIA BANK OF PAKISTAN is very low but still propel leaves their job because;

¨     The salaries are not good enough; they are not in accordance with the qualifications of the employees and their working hours.
¨     There is no job security in the since that people are transferred from branches with more business to branches with less business. When they so not generate income as they are told to do, because of this reason many employees leave their jobs.
