			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last Friday,the licenses for Afribank, Bank PHB, and Spring Bank were revoked and their assets and liabilities have been transferred to the newly incorporated Bridge Banks:</p>
<p>1. Mainstreet Bank Limited has assumed the assets and liabilities of Afribank Nigeria Plc.</p>
<p>2. Keystone Bank Limited has assumed the assets and liabilities of Bank PHB Plc.</p>
<p>3. Enterprise Bank Limited has assumed the assets and liabilities of Spring Bank Plc.</p>
<p>Here is the press release from the NDIC:</p>
<blockquote><p>LAGOS, Fri, Aug 5 2011<br />
PRESS BRIEFING BY NIGERIA DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION (NDIC)<br />
RESOLUTION OF FAILING BANKS THROUGH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF BRIDGE BANKS<br />
In July 2009, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) carried out a special examination of all 24 deposit banks in Nigeria, with the aim of assessing their health, with particular focus on liquidity, capital adequacy, risk management and corporate governance practices.</p>
<p>Ten (10) banks were adjudged to be in grave states with deficiencies in capital adequacy. Of these, eight (8) also had significant deficiencies in liquidity, risk management practices and corporate governance policies. The Managing and Executive Directors of these 8 were immediately replaced, and all the 10 banks were bailed out by the injection of fresh capital totaling about N620 billion, in the form of Tier 2 Capital.</p>
<p>It has been two years since the commencement of the banking reforms and to date, two of the banks (Wema Bank Plc and Unity Bank Plc) have been successfully recapitalized, while four banks (Union Bank of Nigeria Plc, Intercontinental Bank Plc, Finbank Plc and Oceanic Bank International Plc have signed legally-binding Transaction Implementation Agreements (TIAs), a significant step towards recapitalization by the deadline of September 30th set by the CBN.  Equitorial Trust Bank (ETB) Ltd is currently in the final stage of negotiation with a prospective investor with strong likelihood that it will meet the recapitalization deadline.</p>
<p>However, the remaining 3 banks (Afribank Plc, Bank PHB Plc and Spring Bank Plc), have not shown the necessary capacity and ability to recapitalize within the September 30th deadline.</p>
<p>Accordingly, in the interest of depositors and to prevent liquidation which will have dire consequences for depositors and undermine public confidence in the banking system, pursuant to the provisions of the NDIC Act, the Corporation, after due consultation with the CBN and Federal Ministry of Finance and with the full support of the Federal Government, has resolved the problems of the three banks through the Bridge Bank mechanism.</p>
<p>To this effect, the assets and liabilities of the affected banks, whose licenses have now been revoked by the CBN, have been duly transferred by the Corporation to newly incorporated Bridge Banks as follows:<br />
1. Mainstreet Bank Limited has assumed the assets and liabilities of Afribank Nigeria Plc.<br />
2. Keystone Bank Limited has assumed the assets and liabilities of Bank PHB Plc.<br />
3. Enterprise Bank Limited has assumed the assets and liabilities of Spring Bank Plc.</p>
<p>The Corporation is encouraged by the provision of the Bridge Bank option in our law, to resolve the problems in the banking sector.  The Bridge Bank option is a veritable tool of enhancing depositor protection and promoting confidence by ensuring seamless continuity of banking operations. The NDIC will operate the Bridge Banks until such a time that we engage the Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) with a view to capitalizing the Bridge Banks.  AMCON is expected to open up negotiations with investors who may be interested in capitalizing the Bridge Banks.</p>
<p>With this action, a resolution of the crisis in the Nigerian banking system is assured, as it brings certainty and stability to the banking system. It is worthy of note, that unlike other parts of the world where depositors lost funds in the resolution of banking crises, NO depositor lost any funds in this reform process in Nigeria.</p>
<p>This is indeed in line with the avowed commitment of the Federal Government, and Mr President in particular, to ensure that Nigerian depositors do not suffer the trauma and suffering associated with bank liquidations.</p>
<p>Signed:<br />
Management<br />
NIGERIA DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION</p></blockquote>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Here are more bank and other companies' analysis from FSDH and Afrinvest:</p>
<p>Nigerian Bottling Company Plc<br />
Q3 ’10 Results:<br />
- NBC reported  an 14.1% increase in turnover from N64.7bn (US$430.2) in Q3 ’09 to N73.8bn (US$490.7m).<br />
- While PBT fell by 38.7% to N1.7bn (US$11.3m), PAT grew by 30.2% to N1.7bn. The growth in PAT could be linked to the minimal tax payment made for the quarter (N5.0m), possibly as a result of capital allowances on new projects granted to the company.<br />
- PBT margins dropped to 2.3% from 4.3% in Q3’09, indicating an increase in operating expenses.</p>
<p>FY ’10 Outlook:<br />
- The company has launched a new juice (Cappy Juice), which is expected to boost the company's profit and market share amid the fierce competition that currently exists in the juice manufacturing space.<br />
- NBC is currently trading at a trailing P/E ratio of 17.7x, which is a discount to its peer average of 18.3x (Afrinvest Research Consumer Goods).<br />
- We forecast FY 2010 Turnover and PBT of N94.7bn (US$629.7) and N2.4bn (US$16.0) respectively, and remain NEUTRAL on the stock pending the release of its full year numbers. We also establish a 6-month price target of N32.94.</p>
<p>[download id="768"]</p>
<p>Mobil (Oil) Nigeria Plc<br />
Q3 ’10 Results:<br />
- Mobil reported a marginal 3.9% dip in turnover from N47.1bn (US$312.9m) in Q3 ‘09 to N45.2bn (US$300.5m).<br />
- The company however an impressive 74.6% increase in PBT from N2.5bn (US$16.6m) to N4.3bn (US$28.6m).Despite a drop in revenue, Mobil continues to maintain an impressive pre-tax margin of 9.5%, thus making it one of the most efficient downstream operators in Nigeria.</p>
<p>FY ’10 Outlook:<br />
- This performance may not be unconnected to Mobil’s ability to book a significant proportion of its profit from non-core business activities (especially real estate). In addition, the recent restructuring and cost-cutting strategies implemented by the company has led to a reduction of nearly 40.0% in labour costs, thus making its supply and distribution more efficient.<br />
- The recent share price performance has firmed up Mobil’s valuation metrics, with the company currently trading at a 2010 forward P/E of 11.7x, a discount to the sector average of 13.4x.<br />
- We remain positive in our FY 2010 outlook on Mobil, with revenue and PBT forecasts of N60.8bn (US$404.0m) and N5.8bn (US$38.5) respectively. We therefore upgrade our rating on Mobil to ACCUMULATE with a 12-month price target of N178.75K, indicating a 16.9% upside potential.<br />

<p>Diamond Bank Plc<br />
Q3 ’10 Results:<br />
- Diamond Bank reported gross earnings of N67.0bn (US$445.3m), representing a 20.8% decrease from the N84.6bn (US$562.1m) reported in the corresponding 2009 period.<br />
- The bank however returned to profitability, posting pre and post tax profits of N7.0bn (US$46.5m) and N4.9bn (US$32.4m) in Q3 2010 respectively.<br />
- The reduction in the top line is consistent with the trend that has seen banks struggle with lower yields on assets amid a challenging credit environment.</p>
<p>FY ’10 Outlook:<br />
- Further analysis of the bank’s revenue profile by business segments indicates that the strategic drive towards expanding retail banking business has begun to yield benefits.<br />
- Apart from the 5.2% QoQ reduction in operating expenses, the 52.2% drop in cost of risk had the most impact on profitability. Deposits largely held steady, while risk assets declined by 11.9% over the period.<br />
- On this basis, we forecast a 2010E EPS of N0.49 implying a P/E of 15.2x which is at a premium to its peers. We place a SELL recommendation on the stock, based on our 6M price target of N5.22, representing a 29.4% downside.<br />
[download id="770"]</p>
<p>Access Bank Plc<br />
Q3 ’10 Results:<br />
- Access Bank reported gross earnings of N78.0bn (US$517.6m), representing a 15.2% decrease from the N91.9bn (US$610.4m) reported in the corresponding 2009 period.The bank reported pre-tax profits of N14.1bn for the period under review, as against a loss of N10.6bn reported in the corresponding 2009 period.<br />
- This performance is symptomatic of the overall industry trend that has seen profits soar on the back of significant reduction in costs: loan loss provisions dropped 87.0% YoY from N39.9bn to N5.2bn, while operating costs have consistently dropped by 3.0% and 15.0% between Q1, Q2 and Q3.</p>
<p>FY ’10 Outlook:<br />
- Consequently, there has been a progressive, albeit marginal, drop in its cost-to-income ratio. We have therefore established a 2010 FYE of N97.0bn in gross earnings and N13.6bn in net earnings. This gives an EPS estimate of N0.75 for FY 2010.<br />
- Access Bank currently trades at a trailing P/E of 17.6x, which is at a 16.3% discount to its peers. It however trades at 11.4x 2010E earnings, which represents a slight premium to its peers (trading at an average of 10.8x 2010E earnings).<br />
- Afrinvest Research establishes a 6M price target of N8.04 (a 2.2% downside) and thus remain NEUTRAL on the stock.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Afrinvest has diligently prepared analyses of the recently released  bank results. Here are the reports as well as excerpts from each report  for each bank.</p>
<p>Happy Reading!</p>
<p><strong>Zenith Bank</strong><br />
Q3 ’10 Results:<br />
- Zenith Bank reported gross earnings of N139.6bn, representing a 13.6%  decrease from the N161.6bn reported in the corresponding 2009 period.<br />
- Pre-Tax profits grew by 196.3% to N39.2bn from N13.2bn reported in Q3 ’09.<br />
- Continuous improvement across the bank’s key efficiency and operating  ratios has fuelled this impressive performance even as top-line growth  continues to come under intense pressure.</p>
<p>FY ’10 Outlook:<br />
- We remain confident in the bank’s ability to sustain this new level of  efficiency as we do not envisage any significant risk to the bank’s  operating model in the near term.<br />
- We believe improved efficiency ratios will be a key driver in growing  profits thus enhancing the bank’s valuation indices and creating  additional upside potential.<br />
- With a revised top-line forecast of N193.1bn for FYE 2010 and N54.1bn  in pre-tax profits, we remain positive in our outlook on the bank.<br />
- We hereby reiterate our LONG-TERM BUY recommendation on the bank and  establish a 12-month price target of N16.85K which, at current  valuations, translates to a 22.1% upside potential.<br />

<p><strong>Unity Bank</strong><br />
Q3 ’10 Results:<br />
- Unity Bank reported a 41.9% increase in gross earnings from N29.3bn (US$192.6m) in Q3 ‘09 to N41.6bn (US$273.3m).<br />
- PAT went up to N10.7bn (US$70.0m) from a loss position of N11.9bn (US$78.2m) recorded in the corresponding 2009 period.<br />
- Net Assets also grew from N7.2bn (US$47.3m) in FY ‘09 to N42.1bn  (US$276.6m), following the successful conclusion of the bank’s rights  issue.</p>
<p>FY ’10 Outlook:<br />
- This result suggests that Unity Bank has turned the corner, after  failing to meet the 10.0% Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) prescribed for  banks during the CBN audit in 2009.<br />
- While we have yet to speak with management regarding its current  operations and strategic outlook for 2011, we reclassify the bank along  with our mid-tier banks, which thus makes it an attractive value  proposition.<br />
- With a trading multiple of 3.7x its 2010E earnings, compared to a peer  average of 8.2x 2010E for the mid-tier banks, we establish a 6-month  price target of N2.23 and place a BUY recommendation on the stock.<br />
[download id="738"]</p>
<p><strong>GT Bank</strong><br />
Q3 ’10 Results:<br />
- GTBank reported gross earnings of 119.8bn, 11.9% down from the N136.1bn recorded in the corresponding 2009 period.<br />
- The company however reported an 82.1% increase in PBT to N39.0bn.<br />
- Afrinvest Research believes this performance is efficiency-driven as  the bank has driven down its interest expense by 43.6% to 24.7bn.</p>
<p>FY ’10 Outlook:<br />
- Although we remain positive in our outlook on GTBank, we have reviewed  our forecasts on the back of the bank’s decision to adopt a mono-line  commercial banking business model, as against a holding company  structure whereby accounts of subsidiaries are consolidated.<br />
- Our updated forecasts show that the bank is currently trading at a  discount to its peers (based on trailing and forward 2010 numbers) and  still has room for further price appreciation.<br />
- We revise our forecast turnover down by 20.0% to N169.2bn and our  pre-tax profits up to N51.4bn. We also re-iterate our ACCUMULATE  recommendation and expect GTBank’s price to trade between a 12.5% -  17.5% upside over the next 6 - 12 months.<br />
[download id="737"]</p>
<p><strong>UBA</strong><br />
Q3 ’10 Results:<br />
- UBA reported gross earnings of N136.4bn, representing a 6.9% decrease  from the N146.4bn reported in the corresponding 2009 period.<br />
- PBT also grew by 225.4% to N16.9bn from a loss of N13.5bn reported in Q3 ‘09.<br />
- The bank’s lending activities however declined by 4.2% from N664.2bn in Q2 ’10 to N636.2bn in Q3 ’10.</p>
<p>FY ’10 Outlook:<br />
- Overall, we remain optimistic on the future performance of the bank.  We believe that the recently raised additional capital of N20.0bn will  further strengthen the bank’s capital base and also enhance its capital  adequacy ratio, currently standing at 17.0%.<br />
- We are however cautious based on this recent performance and the probability of further exceptional item charges.<br />
- Our forecasts also suggest that UBA is currently trading at a 2010E  P/E of 20.4x, a significant premium to the top-tier bank average of  12.4x and mid-tier bank average of 8.2x.<br />
- We therefore revise our FY 2010 forecast gross earnings downward to  N190.4bn, and PBT to N24.7bn. We also downgrade our recommendation on  UBA from an ACCUMULATE to a NEUTRAL/HOLD, as we do not envisage any  significant upside potential at current valuation levels in the near  term.</p>
<p>[download id="736"]</p>
<p><strong>First Bank of Nigeria Plc</strong><br />
Q3 ’10 Results:<br />
-  First Bank reported gross earnings of N198.0bn, representing a 10.6%  decrease from the N177.1bn reported in the corresponding 2009 period.  This also falls 3.8% short of our projected N183.9bn.<br />
- The bank  reported an impressive pre-tax profit of N40.7bn for the period under  review as against a loss of N6.7bn reported in the corresponding 2009  period.<br />
- We would expect that the bank will focus more on driving  its operating expenses further down. Operating expenses increased by  17.8% from N71.3bn in 2009 to N83.9bn, despite a 5.3% fall in operating  income to N130.3bn from N137.6bn.</p>
<p>FY ’10 Outlook:<br />
- First Bank  continues to leverage on its strong brand to grow deposits at a  remarkable rate. This growth continues to sustain its strong liquidity  ratio, currently at 64.7%.<br />
- We believe First Bank is likely to adopt  the holding company structure business model and we remain optimistic  that the anticipated new model will support the bank’s growth ambitions  and further drive profitability.<br />
- We review our initial top-line  forecast of N249.8bn (US$1.7bn) down by 5.0% to N237.3bn (US$1.6bn),  while maintaining our initial pre-tax projection of N56.3bn (US$374.1m).<br />
-  We also maintain our BUY recommendation on First Bank with a 12-month  price target within the range of N16.00 – N16.50 (translating to a 27.3%  - 31.2% upside potential at current valuations).<br />
- The bank  currently trades at a trailing P/E of 12.3x and forward multiple of  10.7x for FYE 2010; this is a discount to its top-tier peers with both  trailing and forward multiples of 17.6x and 13.7x respectively.</p>
<p>[download id="735"]</p>
<p><strong>Sterling Bank Plc</strong><br />
Q3 ’10 Results:<br />
-  Sterling Bank reported gross earnings of N23.1bn (US$153.6m),  representing a 13.0% decrease from the N26.6bn reported in the  corresponding 2009 period.<br />
- The bank however reported pre-tax profits of N5.7bn (US$37.9m) from a loss position of N7.0bn (US$46.5m).<br />
- This performance is very much in line with the industry trend which has seen banks challenged for top line growth.</p>
<p>FY ’10 Outlook:<br />
-  We review our gross earnings forecast down by 14.1% to N31.8bn  (US$211.4m), as the outlook for credit expansion and yield on interest  bearing assets remains subdued.<br />
- We do however expect the impressive  cost efficiency gains achieved thus far in 2010 to be maintained and  therefore revise our net earnings forecast to N6.7bn (US$44.5m) (+6.0%),  implying a 2010E EPS of N0.53.<br />
- Sterling Bank thus trades at 4.2x  2010E earnings, a significant discount to its peers (trading at 9.7x  2010E earnings). We therefore maintain our BUY recommendation on the  stock.</p>
<p>[download id="734"]</p>
<p><strong>Skye Bank Plc</strong><br />
Q3 ’10 Results:<br />
- Skye Bank reported gross earnings of 66.2bn, 17.3% down from the N80.0bn recorded in the corresponding 2009 period.<br />
- The bank however reported a huge boost in pre-tax profits to N10.2bn.<br />
-  Afrinvest Research believes that this is very much in tandem with the  observed trend in the banking sector where the small universe of high  quality borrowers has adversely impacted the capacity of banks for  credit expansion, and by extension interest income.</p>
<p>FY ’10 Outlook:<br />
-  While we have yet to speak with management regarding these results, we  are inclined to believe that the increased focus on cost containment  (following the drastic cost cutting of Q4 2009) have had a positive  impact on its performance.<br />
- On this basis, we establish a 2010E PAT and EPS forecast of N11.2bn and N0.97 respectively.<br />
-  On a valuation basis, the bank is trading at 7.7x its 2010F earnings,  which is at a discount to its peer average of 9.7x. We therefore  establish a BUY recommendation based on a 6M price target of N9.37 (a  27.0% upside).</p>
<p>[download id="733"]</p>
<p><strong>Oceanic Bank Plc</strong><br />
Q3 ’10 Results:<br />
-  Oceanic Bank reported gross earnings of N89.4bn (US$594.7m), 31.1% down  from the N129.7bn (US$862.6m) recorded in the corresponding 2009  period.<br />
- The bank reported a pre-tax profit of N13.1bn (US$87.0m)  for Q3, 2010 as against a loss of N88.4bn (US$587.8m) recorded in Q3,  2009.<br />
- Our analysis shows that these profits were fuelled by a  write-back of N14.5bn (US$96.7m) as it made a net operating loss of  N1.5bn (US$9.7m) during the period under review.</p>
<p>FY ’10 Outlook:<br />
-  While the brand impairment (reputation damage) suffered by the bank in  the wake of the CBN’s intervention on August 14, 2009 limited its  ability to grow deposits in the early part of the year, recent  performance suggests that it may have regained market confidence with  deposits rising to N644.5bn and comparing favourably with the N633.2bn  in deposits, pre-intervention (March 2009).<br />
- The bank has also remained a net taker of funds in the inter-bank market, with net deficit of N143.9bn.<br />
-  Overall, we remain cautious in our outlook on the bank while watching  to see how the sale of bad loans to AMCON could boost its liquidity and  help fuel risk asset creation; we hereby put a HOLD recommendation on  Oceanic Bank.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[UBA released its FY09 result for the 15-month period ended December  2009. The highlights are:

• UBA reported gross earnings of  N246.7bn (US$1.6bn) for the 15 months ended 31 December 2009,  representing a 45.6% increase from the corresponding 12 month period to  September 2008.
• Total assets decreased by 7.5% from N1.7tn (US$11.5bn) in 2008 to  N1.5tn(US$10.3bn) as at FY2009
• Total loans and advances grew by 40.6% to N606.6bn ($4.0bn) while its  loan to deposit ratio went up to 48.7% from 32.4% recorded in the prior  year. • Operating income was up 46.0% from N128.2bn (US$852.6m) to  N187.1bn (US$1.2bn)
• Deposits and other accounts decreased by 6.6% from N1.3tn (US$8.9bn)  as at September 2008 to N1.2tn(US$8.3bn)
• Keeping loan quality at an acceptable limit seemed to be a challenge  as Non-Performing Loans (NPL) (as a proportion of gross loans) went up  from 4.0% in FY2008 to 8.0%
• The exceptional item reported included a net charge of N38.2bn  (US$254.0m) for diminution in the value of assets which significantly  hampered the bank’s bottom-line earnings potential; After-Tax Profits  went down 94.9% from N41.2bn(US$274.4m) in 2008 to N2.1bn(US$14.1m) for  FY2009.

• The exceptional item reported included a net charge of N38.2bn (US$254.0m) for diminution in the value of assets which significantly hampered the bank’s bottom-line earnings potential; After-Tax Profits went down 94.9% from N41.2bn(US$274.4m) in 2008 to N2.1bn(US$14.1m) for FY2009.</p>
