Risk Factors and Management Perceptions: No investment can be made without considering the risk. So, before taking decision on investing in shares of TGTDCL the investors should carefully analyze the following risks: a) Interest rate risk: When a concern collects its fund from outsiders is liable to pay more than its borrowing size. The excess payable is considered as interest, which impacts the profitability. So, any high rate borrowing affects adversely any concern, which has borrowed fund. The Company takes long-term loan from local and foreign sources for implementing the development projects taken by GOB under Annual Development Program (ADP) and interest rate is fixed by GOB. In the mean time, entire long-term loan in local currency from GOB has been converted into equity. As a result the borrowed fund of the Company has been reduced and company will face less risk. b) Exchange rate risk: The Company requires foreign loans for implementing development programs. So, exchange rate fluctuation can enhance the development cost of the Company. To cope with Exchange Rate Fluctuation the Company adds or deducts gain or loss with assets, which are procured with foreign currency. c) Industry risk: The Organizations namely Bakhrabad Gas Systems Ltd., Jalalabad Gas T & D System Ltd., Paschimanchal Gas Co. Ltd. and Titas Gas Transmission & Distribution Co. Ltd. are actively engaged in gas distribution business, but each of those enjoys monopoly in their franchise area. Since the Company enjoys monopoly in its franchise area and no chance of entering new organizations to its area of operation in near future. So, industry risk does not arise for the company. d) Market & Technology related risk: Technology is related to transmission, distribution, quantity measuring and maintaining of required temperature and pressure of gas. For protecting the transmission and distribution line from corrosion primer coating, tape rapping and cathodic protection are used.
Management of the Company is always aware of any technological changes in the field and has endeavor for adoption of new technology gradually according to a well-designed strategy. On the other hand for ensuring safety and security of pipe line and other related machinery and equipments skilled and equipped personnel are engaged. e) Potential or existing Government regulations: The business activities of the Company is fully controlled by policies, rules and regulations framed by Government that is, policies related to gas price fixation, demand & supply and distribution is fully under the control of Government. Government policies in this regard may impact business operation of TGTDCL. The Company is entrusted with the responsibility of transmitting and distributing of gas to its operational area under Government policies and also monitored by Government. So, all existing or potential government regulations are generally in favor of the gas transmitting and distributing companies. Any unfavorable rules, regulations, policies adopted by Government will equally impact the all-existing ventures of gas industry. However, the Company's Board was vested with full autonomy and exercise all financial powers as per Company's Act-1994 vide the government gazette notification no. wer vlm (cövmd-2)/m vm-2/2002 (Ask -2) 787 dated 5 November, 2002. f) Potential changes in global or national policies: The performance of the company may be affected due to unavoidable circumstances both in Bangladesh and worldwide, as such political turmoil, war, terrorism; political unrest in the country may adversely affect the economy in general. The risk due to changes in global or national policies is beyond control for any company. Yet the company is well prepared for adoption of policies and preventive measures as and when required to reduce the risk. g) Non-operating history: There is no history of non-operation in case of TGTDCL. To overcome short supply and low pressure problem of gas the Company has taken various long term and mid term measures.
h) Operational Risk: I) System loss: System loss is an operational problem for the Company, which impacts the profitability of the Company. In the year 2006-07 system loss was 5.26%, which is still beyond desired level. Various measures including a project named System Loss Reduction Plan financed by ADB have been taken to reduce system loss. In the Year 2006-07 the System Loss has been reduced to 5.26% compared to 6.47% of previous year and current position of system loss is about 4%. Among the measures- maintaining area wise input-output & fixing responsibilities, RMS sealing, calibration and replacement of old meters, intensive vigilance, disconnection of unauthorized gas connection by task force, speedy disposal of court cases, installation of internal pipeline above the ground of industrial, commercial customers etc. are mentionable. ii) Revenue Collection: Some customers of the Company delay in making payment of gas bill habitually and or for their financial problems. The Company has been taking continuous endeavor to overcome this situation with skill manpower. Gas connections are disconnected for three months overdue. In case of non-collection after disconnection of the gas line legal procedures are being taken.
