Introduction on Financial Distress

A situation where a firms operating cash flows are not sufficient to satisfy current obligations and the firm is forced to take corrective action. Financial distress may lead a firm to default on a contract, and it may involve financial restructuring between the firm, its creditors, and its equity investors. Definition of Terms Default Bankruptcy Financial Distress Includes default and bankruptcy, but also Threat of default or bankruptcy and its effect on the company Defined to capture the costs and benefits of using large amounts of debt finance. Insolvency Stock-base insolvency; the value of the firms assets is less than the value of the debt. Flow-base insolvency occurs when the firms cash flows are insufficient to cover contractually required payments. Formal procedure for working out default Does not automatically follow from default. Failure to meet an interest payment, or Violation of debt agreement

What Happens in Financial Distress? Financial distress does not usually result in the firms death. Firms deal with distress byo Selling major assets. o Merging with another firm. o Reducing capital spending and research and development. o Issuing new securities. o Negotiating with banks and other creditors. o Exchanging debt for equity. o Filing for bankruptcy. Responses to Financial Distress- Think of the two sides of the balance sheet. o Asset Restructuring: 1. Selling major assets. 2. Merging with another firm. 3. Reducing capital spending and R&D spending. o Financial Restructuring: 1. Issuing new securities. 2. Negotiating with banks and other creditors. 3. Exchanging debt for equity. 4. Filing for bankruptcy. 5. Bankruptcy Liquidation and Reorganization Malaysias Bankruptcy Act 1967 is based on the English Bankruptcy Act of 1914. A debtor is defined in Section 3(3) BA 67 to include those personally present in Malaysia, ordinarily resident or had a place of residence in Malaysia, was carrying on business in Malaysia either personally or by means of an agent, or was a member of a firm or partnership which carried on business in Malaysia.

FORECASTING FINANCIAL DISTRESS WITH Z SCORE There have been an increasing number of bankruptcies. Will your company go bankrupt? Will your major customers or suppliers go bankrupt? What warning signs exist and what can be done to avoid corporate failure? Prediction models can help in a number of ways: In merger analysis, it can help to identify potential problems with a merger candidate. Bankers and other business concerns can use it to determine whether or not to give a new loan (credit) or extend the old one. Investors can use it to screen out stocks of companies which are potentially risky. Internal auditors can use such a model to assess the financial health of the company. Those investing in or extending credit to a company may sue for losses incurred. The model can help as evidence in a lawsuit. Financial managers, investment bankers, financial analysts, security analysts and auditors have been using early warning systems to detect the likelihood of bankruptcy. But their system is primarily based on financial ratios of one type or the other as an indication of financial strength of a company. Each ratio (or set of ratios) is examined independent of others. Plus, it is up to the professional judgment of a financial analyst to decide what the ratios are really telling.

To overcome the shortcomings of financial ratio analysis, it is necessary to combine mutually exclusive ratios into a group to develop a meaningful predictive model. Regression analysis and multiple discriminate analysis (MDA) are two statistical techniques that have been used thus far.

Z-Score distress prediction model

Z-Score description The Z-Score is the most thoroughly tested and broadly accepted distress prediction model. As such it is arguably the most important tool used in turnaround management for diagnosing and evaluating overall financial corporate health, as well as the viability of turnaround or restructuring efforts. As a reliable test of corporate financial health, it is widely used by courts of law, and the banking, credit risk management and turnaround industries in the USA as a benchmark for credit status and corporate health. There are more sophisticated models available, but they are proprietary and not freely available (see the box on the right). Z-Score origin The Z-Score was developed by Professor Edward I. Altman of the Stern School of Business at New York State University. Z-Score use The Z-Score applies statistical techniques (Multiple Discriminate Analysis) to financial ratios to determine the overall health status of a business: Healthy Zone: Business is in good shape. Danger Zone (zone of ignorance, zone of uncertainty): Warning signals, exercise caution. Failing Zone: High likelihood of bankruptcy within one year.

How we use the Z-Score? At CRS Turnaround we apply the Z-Score to determine: The degree of distress of a troubled company i.e. is it in danger or failing. The Z-Score trend i.e. is the company heading towards the Danger Zone or Failing Zone, and how fast. Z-Score Formula 1. Original Z-Score formula for public manufacturing companies:

Original Z-Score = 1.2X1 + 1.4X2 + 3.3X3 + 0.6X4 + 0.999X5

2. Model A Z-Score for private manufacturing companies: this model substitutes the book values of equity for the Market value in X4 compared to original model.

Model A Z-Score = 0.717X1 + 0.847X2 + 3.107X3 +0.420X4 +0.998X5

3. Model B Z-Score for private general companies: this model analyzed the characteristics and accuracy of a model without X5 - sales/total assets.

Model B Z-Score = 6.56X1 + 3.26X2 +6.72X3 +1.05X4

X1 = working capital/total Assets. It measures the net liquid asset of a company relative to the total assets.

X2 = retained earnings/total Assets. It measures the financial leverage level of a company.

X3 = earnings before interests and taxes /total Assets. It measures productivity of a companys total assets.

X4 = market value of equity/book value of total liabilities. It measures what portion of a companys assets can decline in value before the liabilities exceed the assets. X5 = sales/total Assets. It measures revenue generating ability of a companys assets. Z-Score Calculation If: Working Capital = $5,000,000 Retained Earnings = $1,000,000 Operating Income = $10,000,000 Market Value of Equity = $2,000,000 Book Value of Total Liabilities = $500,000 Sales = $15,000,000 Total Assets = $3,000,000

Working Capital / Total Assets = $5,000,000 / $3,000,000 = 1.67 Retained Earnings / Total Assets = $1,000,000 / $3,000,000 = .33 Operating Income / Total Assets = $10,000,000 / $3,000,000 = 3.33 Market Value of Equity / Book Value of Total Liabilities = $2,000,000 / $500,000 = 4 Sales / Total Assets = $15,000,000 / $3,000,000 = 5

Model A Z-Score = 0.717X1 + 0.847X2 + 3.107X3 +0.420X4 +0.998X5 = .717(1.67) + .847(.33) + 3.107(3.33) + .420(4) + .998(5) = 18.49321

More Application Of The Z Score Various groups of business people can take advantage of this tool for their own purposes. For example, 1. Merger analysis. The Z score can help identify potential problems with a merger candidate. 2. Loan credit analysis. Bankers and lenders can use it to determine if they should extend a loan. Other creditors such as vendors have used it to determine whether to extend credit. 3. Investment analysis. The Z score model can help an investor in selecting stocks of potentially troubled companies. 4. Auditing analysis. Internal auditors are able to use this technique to assess whether the company will continue as a going concern. 5. Legal analysis. Those investing or giving credit to your company may sue for losses incurred. The Z score can help in your company`s defense.

Company Profile
Kingfisher Airlines Limited (KFA): Kingfisher Airlines Limited (KFA) is the nation's largest domestic carrier, having served over 12 million passengers across 59 domestic and 8 international destinations, on about 366 daily flights, last year. The Airline has set new standards of service and customer satisfaction as manifested in the numerous awards, both national and global, that KFA has won in its six years since inception. The industry continued to benefit from strong growth in passenger traffic on the back of an improving economic environment. Capacity creation has lagged demand growth and this helped to stabilise yields. Several initiatives covering both revenue enhancement and cost management have begun to take effect. KFA recorded its first year of EBITDA profits despite the challenges occasioned by grounding of part of the fleet on account of issues with the engines (resolved before the end of the year, in cooperation with the engine manufacturer) and upward trend in fuel costs. The grounding of 14 Airbus aircraft progressively through the year resulted in a loss of 10% of the domestic capacity. However, through increased aircraft usage and sharply improved productivity, domestic passenger traffic increased by 2.6%. Ten of the 14 grounded planes were re-inducted into service before the end of the year and the rest have also been commissioned since then. The Kingfisher product is working well in the international markets that the Company serves and several new routes have been launched during the year. Recognising the unparalleled network and service standards, KFA has become the only Indian airline to be invited to a global alliance. Becoming a member - elect of ONE World, the premier global alliance comprising leading names like BA, AA etc is a feather in KFA's cap and will help accelerate the Company's global footprint. Following on the improved operating performance, the Company negotiated a debt recast with its lenders under which, a part of the bank loans have been converted into Equity and

Preference capital, the repayment of the balance loans extended to a nine year term and interest rates reduced. As a part of the whole package, our Company also converted loans extended to KFA into equity. Certain business associates who had advanced funds to KFA have also accepted Optionally Convertible Debentures in lieu of their loans.

Accountability Each one of us will be held accountable for the successful execution of our duties, commitments and obligations, and we will strive to lead by example. Recession In 2008, due to the prevalent economic downturn, the civil aviation industry faced the worst period in its history. It was the time, when air passenger traffic started dripping, and the aircraft fuel prices went sky rocketing. As a result, Kingfisher Chairman Vijay Malia and his Jet Airways counterpart Marsh Goal announced an alliance, after a meeting. According to the alliance, both the airline companies decided to implement code-sharing on both domestic and international flights. It was a step to reduce the expenses. Subsequently, frequent flier programs were announced by both the airlines, namely King Club and Jet Privilege.

Unique Services Kingfisher Airlines offers several unique services to its customers. These include personal valet at the airport to assist in baggage handling and boarding, exclusive lounges with private space, accompanied with refreshments and music at the airport, audio and video on-demand, with extra-wide personalized screens in the aircraft, sleeperette seats with extendable footrests, and three-course gourmet cuisine. Fleet Kingfisher Airlines was the first airline in India to operate with all new aircrafts. It was also the first airline in the country to order the Airbus A380. Kingfisher Airlines currently operates ATR 42, ATR 72 and Airbus A320 aircraft for domestic and Airbus A330s for international services. In the present time, the airline operates with a fleet of 74 aircrafts, which include 25 Airbus A320-200 aircraft, 6 ATR 42-500, 27 ATR 72-500, 3 Airbus A319100, 8 Airbus A321-200 and 5 Airbus A330-200. Delivery of A380s is due in 2010 and A350s in 2012.

Product Premium class seats 1. Sleeperette seats with extendable footrests. 48" seat pitch and a 125 recline. Fullyadjustable headrests. 2. Laptop and mobile phone chargers in each seat. 3. Comfortable pillows and snug blankets. Price Initially Kingfisher airlines didnt differentiate between business class and economy class. But eventually they decreased the prices of business class and called that seat as premium seats. Fares were very average as it had to target middle class as well as premium class people.

VIJAY MALLYA-Chairman SPEECH

Dear Shareholders I would like to share with you the progress of Kingfisher Airlines Limited (Kingfisher) and also address the recent sensational articles in the media. Aviation demand remains strong and Kingfisher is still the single largest airline in India with a market share of approximately 20%. Kingfisher is also Indias most awarded airline, recognized for the quality of its product and service and its vast network. In fact on September 26, 2011, Kingfisher received the Best Indian Airline award at the Business Traveller Awards 2011 in London. Kingfisher operates 370 flights daily to 60 destinations carrying 12 million guests every year. Of the cities it serves, 11 destinations are served only by Kingfisher. We fly to eight international destinations London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, Bangkok, Kathmandu, Colombo and Dhaka. During the most recent quarter ended June 2011, Kingfisher delivered a better financial performance than other listed Indian carriers. On domestic operations, Kingfisher reported an EBITDAR (Earnings before Interest, Depreciation, Amortization, and Rentals) margin of 15.4% which compares favorably with 6.4% and 7.2% reported by others. Kingfisher implemented a debt recast package during the year under review pursuant to which loans from bankers in excess of Rs. 1,300 cores and funds from Promoters of approximately Rs. 745 cores were converted into share capital. Further, the interest rate on the recast loans was lowered to 11% and the period of repayment was extended to 9 years. Kingfisher continues to work with the consortium of banks with a view to further reduce the interest cost. Some of the proposed initiatives include sale and lease-back of some of its aircraft and other assets to reduce loans and converting part of its Rupee loans into low cost fore loans based on existing fore cash flows. The Consortium of Banks is currently appraising the enhanced working capital request to cater to the strong growth and higher fuel costs. In order to further improve operating performance, Kingfisher is in the process of reconfiguring its aircraft. This reconfiguration will increase capacity by 10% at minimal incremental cost. With Kingfishers domestic economy load factors running in the mid 80s, this additional capacity will result in significantly improved revenues. There are numerous other initiatives underway to make Kingfisher a more efficient airline.

Kingfisher has a very competent and motivated team led by senior managers who have been with the airline from its inception. This has enabled the airline to not only deliver the best-in-class-service, but also very reliable operational performance. In this fiscal year, we have had a high dispatch reliability of 99.5%. The high cost of ATF (Aviation Turbine Fuel) coupled with a weakening Rupee is the biggest challenge that the whole aviation industry in India is currently dealing with and we are no exception. Kingfisher has been working and continues to work aggressively to raise fresh capital. As you would appreciate, in a volatile global economic environment and with oil prices as high as they have been, it is not an easy task. We continue to believe that Kingfisher is a great investment opportunity and have recently announced (subject to shareholders approval) Rights issue which can be launched in addition to a GDR or separately to raise capital. To address the specific issues raised:1. Going Concern and Deferred Tax Credit The auditors have, in fact, concurred with the Board of Directors adoption of the going concern assumption for preparation of accounts despite erosion of net worth which is apparent from the face of the Balance Sheet itself. 2. Accounting treatment of Maintenance Costs The treatment accorded by Kingfisher s consistent with the practices followed by the Aviation Industry globally. 3. Subsidy - The treatment given to manufacturers credit received on aircraft orders by Kingfisher, [erstwhile Deccan] is consistent with the Airlines Accounting. 4. Statutory dues - Statutory dues, which are ongoing and fluctuate on a continuous basis, have been quantified by the Auditors on a particular date. 5. Guarantees by United Breweries (Holdings) Limited (UBHL) and myself- The quantum of guarantees issued by UBHL on behalf of Kingfisher has been grossly exaggerated and incorrectly reported in various sections of the media.
