Abridged 2014

Highlights
Bank One Limited delivered prot

before impairment of Rs289m for the
year ended December 2014. Despite
net provisions of Rs153m made on
impaired accounts and the writing off
of goodwill relating to the purchase of
Edge Forex business in 2008, the
Bank achieved a Prot after Tax of
Rs117m as compared to Rs54m for
the previous year.
As a result of the not so favourable
nancial and economic environment
that prevailed in both the local and
global markets, total assets grew
marginally by 2% from Rs17.7bn to
Rs18.1bn as at the end of 2014.
Persisting excess liquidity in the local
market coupled with the sluggish
growth in the private sector
investments encouraged the Bank to
slacken the pace of balance sheet
growth.
Total deposits grew by 2% compared
to 2013. The conscious move to
reduce high cost term deposits taken
last year (both for segment A and B)
continued. Consequently, the low
cost deposit ratio improved from 55%
in 2013 to 62% in 2014.
The gross loans and advances were
6% lower than December 2013.
Implementation of macroprudential
policy measures by the Bank of
Mauritius in the second half of 2014
impacted the credit demand both for
the Retail and Corporate segments
given the listless economic situation
caused mainly by lack of new
projects. The Segment A and
Segment B advances thus contracted
by 5% and 6% respectively. This was
due to the Bank conducting a review
of its entire credit process in
alignment with the new regulations
and tightened internal controls.
The impaired loan portfolio closed at
Rs941m against
Rs820m as at
December 2013.
The measures taken by the Bank to
improve the cost of funds as
described earlier improved the net
interest income by 16%.
Other income improved by Rs106m in
2014 as compared to 2013. After the
severe losses experienced last year,
Treasury operations were back on
track and realised total income of
Rs49m this year.
Initiatives that were taken last year to
control the non interest expenses
continued resulting in an improved
cost to income ratio of 60% (68% in
2013).
The Bank maintained a capital
adequacy ratio of 12.87% as at
December 2014 in accordance with
the Basel III requirements that came
into effect in Mauritius in 2014.
2014 has been a year of consolidation
for Bank One Limited and the
objective for 2015 will be to continue
to grow the local business and also to
focus on business expansion in the
East African region and India. To
assist the Bank in achieving its
objectives, high-calibre experienced
professionals are being recruited in
the sales as well as support services.
