AIRASIA Bhd profit before tax increase 838%-but see these numbers

From the AirAsia Bursamalaysia announcement of results for quarter ended 30 June 2007:


The Group recorded revenue of RM432 million for the quarter ended 30 June 2007 ("4Q07"), 38% higher than the revenue of RM314 million recorded in the quarter ended 30 June 2006 ("4Q06"). The Group's profit before tax improved by 838% to RM130 million as compared to the restated profit before tax of RM14 million achieved in 4Q06.


From the notes to the accounts:


viii) Reclassification of revenue components
Fuel surcharge, passenger liability insurance and admin fees was previously classified as part of cost of sales. The Group has now reclassified these surcharges as part of revenue. The impact of the reclassification to the revenue component for the previous financial year and preceding year corresponding quarter is RM208.1 million and RM75.6 million respectively.


NOTE THAT NO FIGURE IS PROVIDED FOR THE QUANTUM INCLUDED IN THIS QUARTER'S EARNINGS

ALSO NO EXPLANATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED AS TO HOW ITEMS FORMERLY CLASSED AS "COSTS" CAN NOW BE CLASSED "REVENUE".




5. Unusual items due to their nature, size or incidence
The Group had disposed of 19 interest rate swaps on 12 June 2007 resulting in a gain from the sales of these swaps of RM73 million which is included in other operating income. As of the end of the financial year 30 June 2007, the Group has a total of 41 interest rate swaps.


14. Changes in Contingent liabilities Since the Last Annual Balance Sheet Date
In the previous financial year, the Group had disclosed the potential penalty payable in respect of late payment of certain withholding tax estimated to be RM10.4 million. The Company had applied for the waiver of this penalty and were of the opinion that the waiver application will receive due consideration from the government. During the financial year, the penalty waiver was finalised and settled for RM1 million

Therefore provisions for taxes payable would have been reduced by RM 9.4 million-this also would have contributed to the higher pre-tax profit.

Ben Robert-Smith : How was Justice Anthony Besanko of the Federal Court able to find that the crime of murder has a civil twin, which can be determined on a balance of probabilities

Most if not all reports have been at pains to stress that the finding was based on a balance of probabilities, and not beyond a reasonable doubt, for the matter was a civil and not criminal matter.  However,  reading his summary one can immediately see that Justice Besanko  found not that Roberts-Smith had committed murder but that the " respondents had, (on  a balance of probabilities) established the substantial truth"  that  Roberts-Smith had committed murder.  However, murder is a  crime and a finding of murder in a criminal court (which is the court in which crimes like murder can be determined!) inv

 by Ganesh Sahathevan      Premier Gladys Berejiklian with NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller and Brigadier Mick             Garraway Who authorised former  NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller  to say anything about the  Berejiklian era  quarantine fee and why? Fuller's issuance of his  COVID  quarantine notice, and subsequent silence, would seem to confirm suspicions raised on this blog that NSW's Berejiklian government had no basis to impose its quarantine fee. Fuller's conduct also adds to suspicion that the Berejiklian government did not have the authority, even under its COVID emergency powers, to quarantine persons who were COVID negative. International arrivals had to test negative for COVID before boarding their flights to Sydney, and tests had to be administered within 72 hours of departure. Quarantine on arrival of those who exhibited no COVID symptoms was quite likely unnecessary. It did, of course help bolster Gladys Berejiklian's approval ratings. TO BE RE
