15-Dec-2023 RESIGNATION Director ENCIK AHMAD AL FAROUK BIN AHMAD KAMAL View Detail


When a company is on the brink of insolvency, directors ought to consider different stakeholders such as shareholders, creditors, and employees during the exercise of interest balancing. The Companies Act 2016 (“CA 2016”) codifies a general duty on directors’ conduct of trading in a company close to the point of insolvency and any potential liabilities on that account. In broad terms, ‘insolvent trading’ may also be referred to as ‘wrongful trading’ and ‘fraudulent trading’.

Wrongful Trading
In the CA 2016, an offence of wrongful trading is captured in section 539(3) that:

“…an officer of the company who knowingly was a party to the contracting of a debt had, at the time the debt was contracted, no reasonable or probable ground of expectation, after taking into consideration the other liabilities, if any, of the company at the time, of the company being able to pay the debt, commits an offence…”

Fraudulent Trading
Whereas section 540(1) of the CA 2016 stipulates an offence of fraudulent trading as below:

“If it appears…that any business of the company has been carried on with intent to defraud the creditors of the company or creditors of any other person or for any fraudulent purpose, the Court may declare that any person who was knowingly a party to the carrying on of the business in that manner shall be personally responsible…”

If an offence under section 539(3) has been made out, offenders may be punishable with a maximum imprisonment of 5 years or a maximum fine of RM500,000, or both. Reading together with section 540 of the CA 2016, it is added that the offender may even bear personal liabilities for the payment of the whole or any part of the company’s debt without any limitation of liability upon a court’s declaration

Who has the capacity and capability to borrow more money capA or AAX?

Stony is passing the buck to AAX to do the dirty job of another round of debts restructure, capital reduction, share consolidation and recapitalisation.

The deal most likely involve all share deal. AAX will pay capA in billion of AAX shares for capA aviation business and capA will distribute AAX shares to capA shareholders.

So who will benefit from this deal AAX or CapA shareholders?

Do you think the lessors, trade creditors, travel agents and etc will agreed to transfer the debts from capA to AAX knowing that the last AAX debts restructure creditors only get 0.5 sen for every ringgit owed?

Ytlpower from below RM 1.00 talk until now RM 3.44 still talking/spanning the same story/nonsense. Waren't you get tired? Or you really have nothing better to do?

AirAsia X Chairman, Dato’ Fam Lee Ee said: “These strategic acquisitions serve as pivotal milestones in AAX's post-PN17 revival strategy, bolstering our financial stability and enhancing our market positioning. The consolidation under the AirAsia brand as a one-listed entity reflects our commitment to capitalise on our regained strength and market confidence to deliver a unified and unparalleled travel experience for our guests and significant value for our shareholders.

“Leveraging the strengths of all airlines under the AirAsia brand, we are poised to create a pure-play entity that propels us forward. The synergy created through these strategic acquisitions represents more than just a financial consolidation; it symbolises our role as a trailblazer in shaping the future of the aviation industry. The future holds immense potential, and we are excited to embark on this transformative journey.”

Do AAX chairman really believe what he said?
How can he increased operational efficiency, and ultimately driving cost savings and enhanced financial performance?
- Addition loyalty fees to capitalA international.
- CapitalA aviation lease payment of RM 700 million and increasing per quarter.
- Commission payment to superApp for selling flight ticket.
- Planes maintenance to ADE
- Accumulated losses of RM 10,331 million in capA balance sheet.

CapA is abandoning the sinking ship AAB and AAAGL to AAX. Well done But will AAX take the bait hook line and sinker?

If capA aviation's assests and liabilities transfer to AAX. AAX will be PN 17 company again, loaded with billions in liabilities and need another round of debts restructure, capital reduction and share consolidation.

12 Jan 2023:
PETALING JAYA: Capital A Bhd CEO Tony Fernandes expects the aviation group to exit the PN17 status, which has been a millstone around its neck, by end of this year.

His expectation is based on optimism of its growth potential this year following a strong rebound in travel demand post-Covid.

The investment holding group that is involved in aviation, logistics, lifestyle and financial services ventures, plans to submit its finalised regularisation plan to Bursa Malaysia as early as February.

“We can be out of PN17, definitely this year, I hope much earlier (than that). All of the consultants are now going through all the work.

Above is what Stony had said on 12 Jan 2023 then and now Jan 2024 paulthesotong " We are looking to start paying dividens again, perhaps on 2026 " Star Biz week page 8.. 6.01.2024

You still believe Stony????

Do you know capA in quarter 3 end 30 Sept 2023: Acquisition of a loss making subsidiary PAA result in gain in Intangible assets RM 3,943.0 million in the balance sheet? Isn't that magic!!!

Know why capA keep asking for extension to submit the PN17 regularisation plan???

The simple reason is once the PN17 regularisation plan is submitted and accepted by Bursa SC then within one year time of implementation the shareholder's equity must be minimum positive RM 40 million.

To acheive shareholder's equity positive you need debts restructure, capital reduction (to eliminate accumulated losses), share consolidation and capital injection (issuing of new consolidated share)

So even Bursa SC agree to capA request of extending the submitting of PN17 regularisation plan to 30 June 2024, come end June 2024 capA will still request another extension.

From its Negative Shareholders Equity scenario...Target Price should be around...@1.48...🤓(If positive Equity...@2.28)!?

Jayatiasa.
Just check out monthly data of jayatiasa FFB production and the latest Balance sheet of Jayatiasa.

Nothing will improved untill Stony figure out how to make money flying people.

No wonder Armada price stangnant, it has been more than one year since FPSO Sterling V successfully hooked up with the buoy mooring system on end Dec 2022

No parachute but life vests underneath the seat in case of water landing.

As shareholders maybe you should ask what had gone wrong and why CapA' NUMBER is horrible?

I also wonder why icapital and foreign fund still holding on their capitalA share?
Do they know capitalA is a PN17 and an insolvent company?
Will capA not default on the current liabilities in the next 12 months?

And why IBs analyst can't read financial report?
However, on EBITDA basis, it made close to about RM 400 million ++/quarter or about 1.7 billion/year.

People try to dress up financial statements with it.” “We won't buy into companies where someone's talking about EBITDA. If you look at all companies, and split them into companies that use EBITDA as a metric and those that don't, I suspect you'll find a lot more fraud in the former group.

What does Charlie Munger say about EBITDA?
“Every time you hear EBITDA, just substitute it with 'bullsh*t'.

CapA used to own the taxi company and charged regional AA JV very high rental. But alas capA sold the taxi company to pay high dividend to AA shareholders and now Stony had to work his ass/butt off just to pay the rental to taxi company.

Benchmarking capA with SIA is like comparing taxi driver driving a rented car from taxi company and one who is driving and owning the taxi company.

If I am not mistaken the debts restructure involved selling of assets, share consolidation 20 to 1 and issuing of new shares at RM1.00

So untill the debts restructure is done the share price will trade at between 0.04 to 0.06

Is that worth your time here?

Is CapA cash flow positive????

EBITDA pisitive, is it really so???
Do you know under MFRS 16:

(i) On the Consolidated Income Statement, expenses which were previously included under aircraft operating leases will be replaced by finance costs – lease liabilities and depreciation of right of use asset;

(ii) On the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, operating lease rental outflows, previously recorded within net cash flow from operating activities, are classified as “net cash flow used in financing activities” for repayment of principal of lease liabilities.

CapA' NUMBER DONT LIE..and it is horrible.

Repost for you to ponder with leases payment of abt RM 700 million and increasing per quarter can capA make any meaningfull profit in 2024?

Quarter end 30/09/23: Cumulative 9 months

Depreciation on right of use assets: (444,404,000): (1,124,591,000)
Finance cost -lease liabilities: (251,274,000): (656,333,000)

CapA is now like a taxi driver, driving a rental car from a taxi company.
How many passengers a taxi driver must picked up to pay for the car rental before he can earned a living?

For capA even last quarter 89% load factor is still a loss making quarter.

KSL is a profitable company but the 3 Ku/Khoo brothers pay themselve RM10+ million per year and no dividend to shareholders.

Now their daughters are appointed as executive directors and how much KSL will pay them?

If only someone has listen to MrFox to sell his jaks and buy Ytl he would has now laughing all the way to the bank instead of repeating/recycle his outdated promotion material in jaks.

If only KYY talk the talk and walk the walk then he would not have made so many expensive mistakes.

I feel sorry for Stony (the way he sit and body language as arrogant, he can do no wrong and everyone indebted to him for making flight cheap and affordable) and AA employees.

Maybe AA employees should have join Singapore airline.

Wonder will AA employees getting any year end bonus?

By the way dividend received from Inari is more than enough to pay the dividend to Insas sharholders.

Only for those newbies who after reading few books of WB/Cold Eye etc then wanna aim to be a so called long term value investor....sounds very geng....lol

It shouldn't come fm such a seasoned old snake in the mkt

By the way do nothing is not an option. You have to monitor internal and external factor, the macro and micro economic factor that will impact the forward earning of the company.

Happy new year 2024 KCChong.

Market will always behave irrational and depend on all those international big funds whether they are moving their money from China/HK market to USA.

Otherwise how you explain the share price movement of Tesla compare to BYD.
Fundamentally is Tesla better than BYD???

Charity begins at home. If TTB has done so then icap shareholders will have a happy lot instead of venting their dissatisfied at i3investor.

If price drop and trigger margin force selling on ALP pledged Jaks share then no eye see.

By Feb 2024, if Q4 with impairment loss on receivables and goodwill plus no dividend from JHDP, jaks did not take up the addition 10% JHDP share, lose on LSS4 solar plant and Malaysia operation then most likely price will drop futher.

As long as u can make money
Long term or short term or daytrade doesn't matter...

You can either go long with Yinson (hoping it will/shall move north someday) or you can do many rounds of trading with Armada to earn free bintang beer and lobster.

The billion dollar question: Will AAX take over capA's aviation?

Are we looking at another round of AAX debts restructure of paying 0.5 cent for every dollar owed, capital reduction and share consolidation 10 to 1?

Capital A’s aviation division already can't make money after paying the lease payment. Now on top of lease payment another loyalty fees payment to Brand AA.

Can CapA's aviation aka taxi driver able to survive?

By the way who gave authority to who to sign master brand licensing agreement dated May 31 this year, so that Brand AA has the right to collect royalty fees from AirAsia Aviation Group Ltd, Capital A’s aviation division?

Capital A International shall be made up of Brand AA Sdn Bhd and Fleet Consolidated Pte Ltd
Both Brand AA and Fleet Consolidated are newly formed subsidiaries and do not have any revenue.

Brand AA is a brand management company. It is the registered proprietor for all the rights under the AirAsia brand.
Under a master brand licensing agreement dated May 31 this year, Brand AA has the right to collect royalty fees from AirAsia Aviation Group Ltd, Capital A’s aviation division.

Fleet Consolidated, meanwhile, will primarily be responsible for the procurement and delivery of the requisite aircraft for the aviation group based on the agreed allocation plan.

The proposed deal is to merge CAPI with Aetherium Acquisition Corp (NASDAQ: GMFI), a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (“SPAC”) listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange for an indicative equity value of United States Dollars (“USD”) 1 billion based on an independent valuation of the AirAsia Brand.

CharlesT,
How is your year 2023?

By the way no one going to stop you from punting on an insolvent capA.

But for icapital to put investors money on capitalA and called it value investing is aka to the one eye man leading the blind.
