The company was established by Sanima Hydropower (P.) Limited (SHPL), which is mainly owned by Non-Resident Nepalese (NRNs), as a Special Purpose Vehicle Company for the implementation of Mai Hydropower Project (MHP). In the initial phase, MHP was proposed as a daily peaking run of river project with an installed capacity of 20.1 MW but after discussion with Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), the daily peaking option was abandoned (as recommended by NEA) and an optimum simple run-of river scheme with installed capacity of 14.5 MW was technically concluded with NEA in the year 2007.
However, with the amendment in the Power Purchase Agreement between the Nepal Electricity Authority and Sanima Mai Hydropower Limited, the capacity of the Sanima Mai Hydropower Limited (SMHL) has now been increased to 22 MW. The company for the infrastructure development has made an agreement with Himal Hydro and General Construction Limited as per which the construction process due date is on 2014 / 02 / 08 A.D. and the company planned to distribute the electricity generated from the month of July, 2014 A.D.
The company is mainly owned by the Sanima Hydropower (P.) Limited, Jay Ganesh Investment Company Pvt. Ltd., Mayur Ganesh Investment Pvt. Ltd., Fund for Hydro Investment Pvt. Ltd, Sanima Bank Limited and other institutions. Along with such institutional investors, the personalities like Dr. Upendra Mahato, Dr. Amrit Tewari, Mr. Jiba Nath Lamichhane , Mr. Sonam Gyatso are also involved in this organization as promoters.
The company has been registered with authorized capital of NPR 2.7 billion and currently it holds issued capital of NPR 1.055 billion and paid up capital of NPR 738.5 million. Apparently, the company plans to issue 10% of its issued capital to the local resident to raise capital worth NPR 105.5 million and the remaining 20% of issued capital worth NPR 211 million to the general public in the future date, to come par to the issued capital of the company.

Capital Structure
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS OF THE COMPANY
Figure in Rs “000”
Looking at the company’s capital structure, of the NPR 1,055 million issued capital, the company currently holds 70% of the issued capital which is invested by promoters only. According to the regulation, the company has to make provision of 10% of the issued capital to the people residing in the area affected by the industry. As per this regulation, the company plans to raise capital worth Rs 105.5 million from this offering and remaining 20% of the issued capital through the Initial Public offering to the general public in later phases of time.
Observing reserve and surplus of the company, it had maintained a negative figure in the FY 2068/69. However, in the following years it has maintained a positive growth in the reserve and surplus.
As the company is still in its initial phase and in the process of building itself, the company hasn’t yet started to distribute electricity for income flow. Apparently, the main income source is the interest income and other source of income because of which we can see there is no substantial and stable growth in the income. However, the company has set a construction due date within this year and plans to distribute the electricity within the first quarter of next fiscal year which will surely help to stable and bolster the income flow in the days to come.
Likewise, as mentioned above the company is in the building process; so it is bound to increase its expenses which if we look above in the table can find that the expenses in the past two years have increased from 21.75% to 32.03%. With expenses in the increasing trend and income in decreasing trend, the net profit of the company in the last FY2068/69 came down by 65.19% to Rs 7300 thousand. But, with the start of distribution of electricity from next fiscal year and lower in the construction expenses, the net profit of the company is bound to peak pace in upcoming days.
*The figure is in negative
If we look at the Net Worth of the company, it has come above par in FY 2067/68 before that it was below par. However, in the past FY 2068/69, the company’s net worth value came down by Rs 0.83. With the company’s lack of growth in the last fiscal year, the overall performance has plunged compared to FY 2067/68.
Similarly, looking at the figure of EPS, ROA and ROE, the company was better off in FY 2067/68 than last fiscal year 2068/69. If we look at the ROE in FY 2068/69, the return is very much lower than the market return which the investors should keep in mind before investing.
In conclusion, since the company is in construction phase, it hasn’t yet started generating income from its core business i.e. through the distribution of electricity, which has damper the company’s performance. However, after the completion of the overall infrastructure and distribution of full fledge electricity by next fiscal year, the growth in the company’s performance will be in a much better position.
Likewise, the company is currently raising capital through the local residents of the project affected area of Ilam district only. So, the investors with the motive of short term position will not be benefitted as there is provision for minimum 3 years holding period; only after this period the investors can liquidate their shares in the secondary market. However, with the prospect of long term position, it is way more beneficial as the hydro power company’s tend to give stable and handsome return in the long run to their investors.
