Tony Fernandes, the founder of AirAsia and the former owner of the budget airline Tune Pro, had strong personal and professional motivations for wanting to turn Tune Pro around and make it profitable again. These motivations primarily stemmed from his reputation, his investment in the company, and his belief in its potential. Here's why he didn't want to "lose face":

1. Personal Reputation:
Tony Fernandes is a well-known figure in the aviation and business world. He gained significant recognition for transforming AirAsia into a successful and profitable airline. His business success with AirAsia earned him a reputation as a capable and visionary entrepreneur. Failing to turn around Tune Pro would have negatively impacted his personal brand and credibility. Business leaders, especially those in the public eye like Fernandes, are often judged by the success or failure of their ventures. Failure to make Tune Pro profitable could have been seen as a sign of weakness or poor judgment, which he would have wanted to avoid.

2. Investment at Stake:
Fernandes had a financial stake in Tune Pro, and like any businessman, he would want to protect his investment. If Tune Pro had failed to turn a profit or had to close down, Fernandes would have lost the capital he invested and could have faced further financial losses. As an entrepreneur, it’s critical to show that you can make businesses successful, especially when you've made public commitments to the viability of a venture.

3. Brand Integrity and the Tune Ecosystem:
Tune Pro was part of a larger ecosystem of businesses under the "Tune" brand, which also included Tune Hotels, Tune Talk, and other ventures. As the owner of these ventures, Fernandes needed to maintain the integrity of the Tune brand. If one part of the ecosystem (like Tune Pro) failed, it could have had a ripple effect on the others, damaging the entire brand. Given his focus on building a strong, interconnected brand portfolio, turning Tune Pro around was crucial for maintaining the reputation of the whole group.

4. Leadership and Responsibility:
As a leader, Fernandes was known for his hands-on approach to his businesses. His leadership was often seen as a key reason for AirAsia’s success. Letting Tune Pro fail would have conflicted with his public persona as someone who takes responsibility for the performance of his companies. Business leaders like Fernandes often see their role as ensuring that their companies succeed, even in the face of setbacks. Failing to make Tune Pro profitable would have gone against his values of perseverance and commitment to his ventures.

5. External Perceptions and Investor Confidence:
Losing face also relates to the perceptions of other investors, stakeholders, and the market. Fernandes' ability to turn around struggling companies was likely scrutinized by investors, especially if Tune Pro was facing financial difficulties. A failure would have affected investor confidence in his management capabilities and could have impacted funding or partnerships for his other ventures. By ensuring Tune Pro's success, Fernandes protected not only his reputation but also his ability to attract future investments and business opportunities.

In conclusion, Tony Fernandes didn’t want to lose face because his personal reputation, financial investment, brand integrity, leadership responsibility, and external market perceptions were all tied to the success of Tune Pro. By turning the company around, he would have demonstrated his ability to overcome challenges and maintain his standing as a successful businessman.

AAX bought AAG for RM6.8B. With share swap of RM3.8B so AAX will only have to come up with RM3B in cash. With a potential revenues of RM11B, how long will it take for AAX to pay off the debt.

AAX did not come out with any money just take over AAGL by issuing AAX share to capA and AAB by take over debt owed by capA to AAB or in other word take over all the CapA Aviation net liabilities.
AAX then need RM 1 billion PP capital injection to stay afloat for another year.

If in FYE 2025 external auditor insist on impairment of goodwill then most likely AAX equity will fall into negative and send AAX into PN17.

Ok then talk next quarter.
Repost:
30 September 2024: 30 June 2024
USD/MYR
Average rate 4.4566: 4.7323
Closing rate 4.1065: 4.7205

Quarter ended 30 Sep 2024
Foreign exchange gain/ (loss)
Realized: RM 74,800 000
Unrealized: RM 2,195,000,000

So if 30/12/2024 USD/MYR ended at 4.50 what will be the Foreign exchange losses?

Just a simple question if valuer valued a property as 10 million but that property is charged to bank for 5 million loan so are you going to pay the seller 10 million to take over the property and the loan?

Goodwill and intangible assets upon completion of the Proposed Acquisitions are RM10,090.74 million and RM2,430.84 million respectively.

Is above answer you question: Acquired at premium or discount ?


External Auditor, are non-current assets: Deferred tax assets and goodwill subjected to yearly impairment?

“For illustrative purposes, as set out in the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of our Group as at 31 December 2023 in Appendix VIII of this Circular, the goodwill and intangible assets upon completion of the Proposed Acquisitions are RM10,090.74 million and RM2,430.84 million respectively, based on the assumptions and parameters stated therein.”

Answer
1) Goodwill is subject to yearly impairment assessment; and
2) Deferred tax assets are assessed on a yearly basis to determine whether there are future taxable profits in which the deferred tax assets can be utilised.
