As a PN17 company capA is facing difficulty to get loans and hence out of necessity an ingenious Finalising revenue bond, which expect to raise USD200 mil cash.

Pledging all the revenue from certain route as collateral (bank into a special account) for the Bond.

Definition: Intrinsic value is the Present value of the investment of all the expected cash flow over the lifetime discounted at the appropriate discount rate.

Intrinsic value = (CF1/ (1+d)^1) + (CF2/(1+d)^2) + ----- +(CFn/(1+d)^n)

Where:
CF = Cash Flow in the Period
d = Discount rate
n = The period number
This Intrinsic value is actually a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)
Example of intrinsic value is then the Sum of DCF expected cash flow from varies business streams/Divisions.

geary mind telling us what will be the free cash flow of ech division for you to derive at capA intrinsic value of:
Estimated: US$4B.!?

By the way where will capital A international get it profit and how much profit per year?

However, Brand AA is a RM2 paid-up capital with zero revenue and Fleet Consolidated Pte Ltd is a newly incorporated company that has yet to file annual returns or financial statements (read also as no revenue).

So 2 shell companies with zero value shall have a 'indicative valuation' of US1 Billion when listed in Nasdaq?!!!

BTW Aetherium Acquisition is also a 2 man show company with non-clickable filings

So anyone still believe CapA can submit the PN17 regularisation plan on or before 31 Dec 2023?

Will capA request another extension?

And when will Bursa SC say enough is enough and proceed to suspend and delist capA?

Repost:
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.
01/12/2023 7:49 AM

Another accounting gimmicks from capA/Stony:
EBITDA of RM448 million
To date the Group has generated over RM1 billion in cash flow from its operations.

CapA is unable to pay plane leasing charges = interest + depreciation but needed to defer aircraft leases of approximately RM2.4 billion.

So in future interest +++ interest how to exist in current form, somthing need to give way.

Lease liabilities
The lease liabilities amounting to RM18.9 billion includes deferred aircraft leases of
approximately RM2.4 billion. The lease liabilities are supported by ROU assets of RM11.9
billion.

The Group had completed the restructuring of a total of 160 aircraft leases up to the date of
this report including the waiver of lease rentals in arrears, as well as reducing future lease
rates with a corresponding longer lease term, where necessary, and return of aircraft.

CapA even go to the extreme of making it EBITDA look good.
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.

A tribute to the late Charlie Munger wise advise:🙏
"I think you would understand any presentation using the word EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) if every time you saw that word, you just substituted the phrase 'bullshit earnings'."

StartOfTheBull Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization RM447,987,000, increased more than 6 folds compared to same quarter of previous year.
Net cash increased by RM87,852,000.

Chemical market overcapacity and weakening demand: a perfect storm
Following several years of significant investment in production capacity in China, a perfect storm is hitting the chemicals market, as increased global capacity meets weakening demand. The global oversupply of petrochemicals is expected to hit a record 218m tonnes in 20231 and China is continuing to add capacity, with almost 140m tonnes expected to come onstream in 2023, well in excess of previous years.

Against the backdrop of a worsening macroeconomic outlook and a strong US dollar, chemical market participants are having to contend with an unprecedented level of uncertainty within the industry.

Can somone explain where is the promised Net profit of RM 10 million per year?

In the third quarter of 2023, the Construction division reported lower revenue of
RM3.9 million, a reduction of 73% compared to the revenue of RM14.4 million in
the same quarter of the previous year. This decline was primarily attributed to the
lower revenue recognition from the local construction works that are in their final
stages of completion. With the lower revenue, this division incurred a higher loss
before tax 7.8 million in this third quarter compared to RM6.1 million loss before tax
incurred in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

In the quarter under review, the Property Investment division improved its revenue
contribution to RM2.8 million, from RM2.0 million achieved in the previous year's
corresponding quarter. This division reported loss before tax of RM10.1 million,
compared to loss before tax of RM9.6 million in the third quarter of 2022 mainly due
to higher interest cost incurred.

I speak the truth as I can't stand someone promoting Jaks day and night 24/7/365 with his half past six TA and FA to con people to chase high with his claim of 5 digits, 6 digits and even 7 digit gain bullshit

A redundant programme

I also think that there is no necessity for TVS to organise any Christmas programme in Sarawak as there are many activities and events planned by the Christian churches every year. Most of these events are also covered by other tv stations.

For example, the popular Christmas parade in Miri, with thousands of Christians in attendance and the Inter-denominational Christmas Service in Kuching are held annually for decades. Almost every church, even those in the most remote of areas, will have Christmas services planned.

And who could forget the Muslim female officers of the police choir in Kuching, singing Christmas carols at regular intervals over the Yuletide season?

Christmas is always celebrated with much hope, joy, and love by the majority of Sarawak’s three million people, with many events and activities organised every year. I cannot see how another event organised by TVS will have any extra impact.

Finally, let me share these words of wisdom of the late Sarawak chief minister Adenan Satem, who had declared: “I will not tell you how to practise your religion. I am a Muslim and I try to be a good one. But I will not tell my Christian friends how to worship. It is their business.”

It is my fervent hope that such an unfortunate episode in the celebration of such a joyous and holy event as Christmas will not happen again in Sarawak.
