Pepo mbaya. Wit the sale of four planes and the 'unfortunate' sale embakasi land, do you think what you have written is possible??
1) Are the planes being 'retired' leased or owned by KQ?
2) If they are owned by KQ, what is the estimated selling price vs the Book Value? If the BV is higher than the Selling Price then KQ has to book a loss for the difference.
3) If the planes have loans and these loans are equal or greater than the Selling Price, then KQ gets ZERO cash from the sales.
4) Has KQ sold the land in Embakasi? If the process is ongoing then KQ cannot apply the proceeds/profits in FY 2014-15.
