    “Balephi Hydropower to Issue 100% Right Shares After Amending Initial Proposal, Pending Regulatory Approval”


    Balephi Hydropower Limited (BHL) has recently made changes to its right share ratio, increasing it from 50% to 100%. In a board of directors meeting held on Shrawan 02, 2080, it was decided that the company will issue 100% right shares based on the paid-up capital of Rs. 1.82 Arba. As a result of this issuance, the company’s paid-up capital will rise to Rs. 3.64 Arba.

    Previously, during a board meeting on Falgun 12, BHL had planned to propose the issuance of rights shares in the ratio of 1:0.50. However, it was later reconsidered due to the realization that the amount generated from 50% right shares would not be sufficient to repay the loans obtained from banks. Consequently, the new proposal suggests the issuance of right shares in the ratio of 1:1.

    It is important to note that the right shares will only be issued after receiving approval from the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) and obtaining endorsement during the company’s upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM). These regulatory steps are essential to ensure compliance with the necessary legal procedures and protect the interests of shareholders and investors.

    Balephi Hydropower’s Challenging Q3: Net Losses, Administrative Expenses Surge, and Strategies for Financial Recovery


    Balephi Hydropower Limited (BHL) has released its third-quarter report for the current fiscal year, revealing a significant net loss of Rs. 23.72 crores. In comparison, during the third quarter of the previous fiscal year 2078/79, the company had reported a net loss of Rs. 6.06 lakhs.

    During the third quarter of the current fiscal year, BHL experienced a substantial increase in administrative expenses, reaching Rs. 25.59 lakhs. Additionally, the company had to bear financial costs amounting to Rs. 31.19 crores up to the third quarter of FY 079/80.

    With an Earnings per Share (EPS) of Rs. -17.30 and a below-average net worth of Rs. 81.93, BHL faces financial challenges. However, the company managed to generate revenue of Rs. 35.93 crores from the sale of power until the end of the third quarter of the ongoing fiscal year.

    According to the management analysis, BHL incurred significant penalties from the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) for surpassing the Required Commercial Operation Date (RCOD) as outlined in the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

    BHL is optimistic that once the RCOD issue is resolved, the company will generate sufficient cash revenue to meet its financial and operational obligations. To improve its cash flow, the company plans to issue right shares.

    In a meeting held on Falgun 12, 2079, the board of directors of BHL decided to propose the issuance of rights shares in a ratio of 1:0.5 in the next annual general meeting. The proposal aims to utilize the then-paid-up capital of Rs. 1.827 Arba, resulting in an enhanced paid-up capital of Rs. 2.74 Arba after the 50% right issue.

    At the end of the third quarter of this fiscal year, BHL’s closing share price stood at Rs. 321. Additionally, the company successfully increased its paid-up capital by 10.50%, amounting to Rs. 1.82 Arba.
