Chairman’s Statement

On  behalf  of  your  Board  of 
Directors,  I  present  to  you  the 
audited  financial  statements  for 
Avation  PLC  and  its  subsidiaries 
for  the  year  ended  30th  June 
2013  and  to  inform  you  of  the 
progress  that  the  Avation  Group 
has made.     

The highlights are:

•	

•	

•	

•	

Earnings per share increased by 88% to 23.25 US cents; 

Fleet value increased to US$347 million;

EBITDA increased by 46% to US$38.3 million;

Revenue increased by 22% to US$42.7 million;

•	 Dividends increased by 10% to 1.78 US cents per share; 

•	 Consolidated  net  profit  after  tax  increased  by  110%  to 

US$10.5 million; 

•	 Delivery of six new ATR 72-600 aircraft, an Airbus A321 

and an Airbus A320; 

•	 Number of aircraft in fleet increased to 23 from 15;

Your  Board  is  pleased  to  report  that  in  respect  of  the  year 
ended  30  June  2013  the  consolidated  net  profit  after  tax 
was US$10,515,901 (2012: US$5,009,457) on revenues of 
US$42,739,991  (2012:  US$35,001,218)  with  earnings  per 
share of 23.25 US cents (2012: 12.36 US cents). Total returns 
comprise income from cash yield from aircraft lease payments 
plus the net asset value (capital) realisable from the sale of the 
aircraft after repayment of associated debt obligations.

In  the  period  to  30  June  2013,  the  Group  delivered  six  new 
ATR 72-600 aircraft, acquired an Airbus A321 and, pursuant 
to a finance lease, an Airbus A320.  Avation is scheduled to 
deliver  eight  ATR  72-600  before  the  end  of  FY2014  and  an 
additional two ATR 72-600 in the second half of calendar year 
2014.

The Avation fleet of 23 aircraft has an average age and lease 
term  of  8.7  years  and  5.7  years  respectively  with  a  current 
customer  base  of  airlines  in  Australia,  Europe  and  North 
America.  The  Company  has  also  recently  announced  the 
securing of Fiji Airways as a new airline customer for a new 
aircraft in 2014.

Avation’s fleet is diverse, comprising the new ATR aircraft and 
other  aircraft  including  Airbus  A321  and  A320  along  with  a 
small number of older aircraft. Avation targets continual fleet 
renewal and financial management to ensure the retention of 
asset values and maximisation of earnings.  

As of June 30th, total assets increased by US$147,274,204 
to  US$394,383,300.  Corresponding  liabilities  increased  by 
US$131,212,593 to US$296,146,941 resulting in net assets 
at year end of US$98,236,359. 

In  the  period  to  30  June  2013,  the  Company  secured 
committed  debt  funding  of  over  US$100  million  covering 
aircraft  deliveries  to  January  2014  from  traditional  aircraft 
financing banks and other institutional lenders. Debt facilities 
are primarily asset based and matched to the leases in terms of 
currency, term and loan servicing ensuring there is no “through 
lease term” re-financing risk. The Company believes that it can 
obtain access to the necessary debt for the future purchase of 
aircraft. Access to funding nevertheless remains a risk, which 
is common to all businesses that are capital intensive. Specific 
aviation based industry risks are also present and include the 
creditworthiness of client airlines.

Annual Report 2013Chairman’s Statement

The  Company  has  been  significantly  cash  generative 
this  financial  year.  The  EBITDA  increased  by  46%  to 
US$38,329,167.  Purchasing  aircraft  typically  requires  a 
mixture of senior debt, a junior debt tier and equity which may 
be self generated.  The directors seek to minimize the cost of 
funds and hence may seek to refinance existing debt facilities.  
The Company continues to evaluate the state of both debt and 
equity  along  with  choice  of  market  for  equity  capital,  in  the 
context of its ongoing requirements.  

The  Directors  believe  they  have  demonstrated  that  the 
Group has a sustainable business model and are committed 
to  develop  the  Avation  business  as  a  differentiated  aircraft 
operating  lease  business  to  provide  constant  and  defined 
internal  rates  of  return,  cash  yields  and  predictive  capital 
returns  from  investment  in  the  narrow  body  and  regional 
aircraft  market  and  more  particularly  in  the  Australian  and 
South East Asian sector.

Our business provides for continued and sustainable growth in 
2014 and beyond. The outlook for calendar year 2014 is 43% 
growth in the fleet contracted by way of committed deliveries.

to  actively  evaluate 

Avation  continues 
further  aircraft 
acquisition investment opportunities. As a result, the Company 
is well advanced with respect the funding of its 2014 deliveries 
and  is  developing  formalised  capital  funding  programmes  to 
provide  a  diversified  funding  base  with  access  to  both  debt 
and equity markets. 

Whilst  the  business  is  engaged  in  funding  the  continued 
aggressive asset growth of the fleet, your Board overwhelmingly 
recognises the importance of rewarding shareholders and is 
recommending  to  shareholders  a  final  dividend  payment  of 
1.78  US  cents  per  share.  Accordingly,  the  Company  hopes 
to maintain a progressive dividend policy going forward. The 
record  date  for  this  final  dividend  will  be  announced  in  the 
meeting materials for the upcoming annual general meeting. 

My  colleagues  and  I  are  committed  to  continue  working 
tirelessly to build your Company into a respected, profitable, 
diversified and cash generative aircraft leasing business. The 
Board  would  like  to  thank  you  –  the  shareholders  for  your 
continued support and goodwill and look forward to the future 
with confidence in the successful development of Avation PLC.

COMMERCIAL PASSENGER AIRCRAFT 
LEASING SPECIALISTS

Avation  PLC  is  a  commercial  passenger  aircraft  leasing 
company that was incorporated in England and Wales in 2006 
listed  on  the  Main  List  of  the  London  Stock  Exchange  (LSE: 
AVAP). 

Avation manages a fleet of 23 aircraft which it leases, through 
its subsidiaries, to airlines including US Airways in the United 
States,  Thomas  Cook  in  the  UK  and  Virgin  Australia.  The 
company’s fleet includes Airbus 320 family aircraft as well as 
Fokker 100s and ATR 72s.

SPECIALIST MANAGEMENT TEAM

Avation’s  management  team  has  extensive  experience  in  all 
areas of the aviation industry and has the expertise to select 
aircraft to bring under Avation’s management that will deliver 
value  to  the  company,  performance  to  its  customers  and 
returns to its shareholders.

STRONG GROWTH PLATFORM

Under 
(ARAN) 
the  Australian  Regional  Airline  Network 
agreement,  Avation  has  agreed  to  supply  up  to  20  ATR  72 
aircraft  to  Virgin  Australia  Regional  Airlines  who  will  operate 
the  aircraft  in  eastern  Australia.  As  of  June  2013,  Avation 
is  leasing  12  aircraft  to  Virgin  Australia  under  the  ARAN 
agreement, giving the company room to expand its fleet with 
guaranteed custom for its aircraft.

Ten  further  ATR  72  aircraft  have  been  ordered,  with  three 
expected to be delivered in 2013 and a further seven to be 
delivered in 2014.

Avation’s management is also continuing to look to expand the 
company’s fleet beyond the acquisition of ATR 72 aircraft and 
will select aircraft that provide both customer satisfaction and 
financial growth for the company.

FINANCIAL GROWTH
Coinciding  with  the  expected  delivery  of  the  ATR  72s  and 
potential acquisitions of other aircraft, Avation will continue to 
grow in terms of the size and quality of its managed fleet and 
the financial returns it generates.

Strategy

Photo: Jean-Guy Aldegon

The Company’s strategy is to continue to expand the Group’s 
aircraft leasing business by: 

•	

•	

“Capitalising  on  continued  growth  in  the  aircraft  leasing 
market  by  acquiring  additional  aircraft:”  the  Company 
intends to exploit the current growth in the aircraft leasing 
market  by  acquiring  additional  aircraft.  The  Company 
will  adopt  a  flexible  approach  to  the  age  and  type  of 
aircraft it purchases and this will depend principally on the 
requirements of its growing customer base. The Company 
is  continuously  evaluating  potential  opportunities 
for  growth  in  its  portfolio  of  aircraft,  in  particular  by 
maintaining communications with airlines, aircraft owners 
and manufacturers. 

“Leasing  aircraft  to  both  regional  and  international 
airlines:” the Directors expect the Group’s customer base 
to  comprise  both  regional  and  global  airline  companies.  
The  Group’s  customer  base  will  not  be  restricted  to  a 
particular geography or type of customer.   

Aircraft  Demand  and  the  Global  Commercial  Aircraft 
Fleet

Demand  for  new  aircraft  is  derived  from  both  traffic  growth 
and  replacement  of  older  equipment.  Historically,  demand 
for  growth  has  been  driven  by  economic  growth  and  market 
maturity, market liberalization and the adoption of new business 
models. 

Aircraft  replacement  is  related  to  the  relative  operating 
economics  of  old  and  new  aircraft,  fuel  prices,  technological 
improvements and the demand for conversions of passenger 
aircraft to freighters. 

Growth Drivers

The world fleet is expected to grow steadily as airlines continue 
to  develop  service  offerings  to  accommodate  the  world’s 
rapidly  growing  demand  for  air  travel.  Key  elements  that  are 
currently  driving  growth  in  demand  for  both  new  and  used 
aircraft include: 

•	 High rates of economic growth and increasing propensity 

to travel in emerging markets;

•	

•	

Liberalisation of air service between and within countries; 
and

Stimulation  of  traffic  from  growing  Low  Cost  Carriers 
offering lower fares.

Replacement Drivers

The  requirement  to  replace  older  aircraft  that  are  retired  or 
converted  to  freighter  configuration  also  forms  a  substantial 
driver of aircraft demand, particularly in large mature regions.

Report of the Directors

Photo: Peer Johnson

The directors have the pleasure in presenting their report and 
financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2013.

Principal activities and business review

The  principal  activities  of  the  Group  are  the  holding  of 
investments, involved in the owning and leasing of aircraft.  The 
Company also owns and leases aircraft in its own right.

The  principal  risks  and  uncertainties  affecting  the  Group’s 
turnover are described in note 6.

The  full  business  review  including  KPI’s  can  be  found  in  the 
Chairman’s statement on page 4. The Group has not sought to 
review environmental matters nor social and community issues.

Results and dividends

The consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the 
period is set out on page 20. The directors have proposed to 
pay a 1.78 US cents final dividend.

Directors and their interests

The  directors  who  served  the  Company  during  the  period 
together  with  their  interests  (including  family  interests)  in  the

Statement of Directors’ responsibilities

The  Directors  are  responsible  for  preparing  the  Directors’ 
Report  and  the  financial  statements  in  accordance  with 
applicable law and regulations.

Company  law  requires  the  Directors  to  prepare  financial 
statements for each financial year. 

Under  Company  Law  the  Directors  must  not  approve  the 
financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a 
true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of 
the Group and the financial performance and cash flows of the 
Group for that year. In preparing these financial statements, the 
Directors are required to: 

•	 select  suitable  accounting  policies  and  then  apply  them 

consistently;

•	 make  judgements  and  accounting  estimates  that  are 

reasonable and prudent;

•	 state whether in preparation of the Company and the Group 
financial  statements,  the  Company  and  the  Group  has 
complied with IFRS as adopted by the European Union, and, 
in  respect  of  the  Company  as  applied  in  accordance  with 
the provisions of the Companies Act 2006, subject to any 
material  departures  disclosed  and  explained  in  the  Group 
financial statements;

•	 the  Directors  are  required  under  the  Standard  Rules  of 
the  London  Stock  Exchange  to  prepare  Group  financial 
statements  in  accordance  with  International  Financial 
Reporting  Standards  (“IFRS”)  as  adopted  by  the  European 
Union  (“EU”)  and  have  elected  to  prepare  the  Company 
financial  statements  in  accordance  with  IFRS  as  adopted 
by the EU as applied in accordance with the provisions of 
Companies Act 2006.

•	 prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it 
is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue 
in business.

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting 
records  that  are  sufficient  to  show  and  explain  the  Company 
and  the  Group’s  transactions  and  disclose  with  reasonable 
accuracy  at  any  time  the  financial  position  of  the  Company 
and  the  Group  and  enable  them  to  ensure  that  the  financial 
statements  comply  with  the  Companies  Act  2006.  They  are 
also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company 
and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the 
prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The  Directors  are  responsible  for  the  maintenance  and 
integrity  of  the  corporate  and  financial  information  included 
on the Company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom 
governing  the  preparation  and  dissemination  of  the  financial 
statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Report of the Auditors

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF AVATION PLC

We  have  audited  the  financial  statements  of  Avation  PLC  for  the 
year  ended  30  June  2013  which  comprise  the  Consolidated 
Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income,  the  Company  Statement 
of  Comprehensive  Income,  the  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet,  the 
Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Changes 
in  Equity,  the  Company  Statement  of  Changes  in  Equity,  the 
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Company Statement of 
Cash Flows and the related notes. The financial reporting framework 
that  has  been  applied  in  their  preparation  is  applicable  law  and 
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by 
the European Union and as regards the Parent Company financial 
statements,  as  applied  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the 
Companies Act 2006.

This report is made solely to the Company’s members, as a body, 
in  accordance  with  Chapter  3  of  Part  16  of  the  Companies  Act 
2006. Our audit work has been undertaken for no purpose other 
than  to  draw  to  the  attention  of  the  Company’s  members  those 
matters  which  we  are  required  to  include  in  an  auditors’  report 
addressed to them. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do 
not  accept  or  assume  responsibility  to  any  party  other  than  the 
Company  and  Company’s  members  as  a  body,  for  our  work,  for 
this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors 
As explained more fully in the Directors’ Responsibilities Statement 
set out on page 17 the Directors are responsible for the preparation 
of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a 
true  and  fair  view.  Our  responsibility  is  to  audit  and  express  an 
opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable 
law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those 
standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s 
(APB’s) Ethical Standards for Auditors. 

Scope of the audit of the financial statements
An  audit  involves  obtaining  evidence  about  the  amounts  and 
disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable 
assurance  that  the  financial  statements  are  free  from  material 
misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an 
assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to 
the Group’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and 
adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting 
estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of 
the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and 
non-financial  information  in  the  Annual  Report  to  identify  material 
inconsistencies with the audited financial statements.  If we became 
aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies 
we consider the implications in our report.

Opinion on the financial statements
In our opinion:

•	 the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of 
the Group’s and of the Parent Company’s affairs as at 30 June 
2013 and of the Group’s profit for the year then ended;

•	 the  Group’s  financial  statements  have  been  properly  prepared 
in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union;
•	 the Parent Company financial statements have been prepared 
properly in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European 
Union and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the 
Companies Act 2006, and

•	 the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 
the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and, as regards 
the Group financial statements, Article 4 of the IAS Regulation.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 
2006
In our opinion:

•	 the  part  of  the  Directors’  Remuneration  Report  to  be  audited 
has been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies 
Act 2006; and

•	 the  information  given  in  the  Directors’  Report  for  the  financial 
year  for  which  the  financial  statements  are  prepared  is 
consistent with the financial statements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception 
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where 
the  Companies  Act  2006  requires  us  to  report  to  you  if,  in  our 
opinion:

•	 adequate	accounting	records	have	not	been	kept	by	the	Parent	
Company,  or  returns  adequate  for  our  audit  have  not  been 
received from branches not visited by us; or

•	 the	Parent	Company	financial	statements	are	not	in	agreement	

with the accounting records and returns; or

•	 certain	disclosures	of	directors’	remuneration	specified	by	law	

are not made; or

•	 we	 have	 not	 received	 all	 the	 information	 and	 explanations	 we	

require for our audit.

GENERAL 

Avation  PLC  is  a  public  limited  company  incorporated  in  England  and  Wales  under  the 
Companies Act 2006 (Registration Number 05872328) and is listed as a Standard Listing 
on the London Stock Exchange. The address of the registered office is given on page 1. 

As disclosed in the Report of the Directors, the principal activities of the Company and its 
subsidiaries are the holding of investments involved in owning and leasing of aircraft. The 
Company also owns and leases aircraft in its own right.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial 
Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and their interpretations issued 
or  adopted  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board  as  adopted  by  use  in  the 
European Union (“IFRS”).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

(a)  BASIS  OF  PREPARATION  –  The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in 
accordance  with  IFRS  including  standards  and  interpretations  issued  by  the 
International  Accounting  Standards  Board  (“IASB”),  and  have  been  prepared  in 
accordance  with  the  historical  cost  convention,  as  modified  by  the  revaluation  of 
aircraft.  

The  financial  statements  are  presented  in  United  States  Dollars,  rounded  to  the 
nearest  Dollar.  The  year  end  exchange  rate  for  Pounds  Sterling  to  United  States 
Dollars  is  1.5216.  There  has  been  a  change  in  accounting  policy  regarding  the 
change  in  presentational  currency  from  Pounds  Sterling  to  United  States  Dollars 
which has been applied as disclosed in Note 34. 

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  IFRS  requires  the  use  of 
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and 
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the financial period. Although 
these  estimates  are  based  on  management’s  best  knowledge  of  current  events  and 
actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. 

The  accounting  policies  set  out  below  have  been  applied  consistently  throughout  the 
financial  period  presented  in  these  financial  statements  and  the  accounting  policies 
have been applied consistently by the Company and its subsidiaries.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 

(b)  BASIS  OF  CONSOLIDATION  -  The  consolidated  financial  statements  comprise  the 

financial statements of Avation PLC and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2013. 

Subsidiaries  are  fully  consolidated  from  the  date  of  acquisition,  being  the  date  on 
which  the  Group  obtains  control,  and  continue  to  be  consolidated  until  the  date  that 
such control ceases. 

The  financial  statements  of  the  subsidiaries  are  prepared  for  the  same  reporting 
period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. 

All  intra-group  balances,  income  and  expenses  and  unrealised  gains  and  losses 
resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full. 

Losses  within  a  subsidiary  are  attributed  to  the  non-controlling  interest  even  if  that 
results in a deficit balance. 

A  change  in  the  ownership  interest  of  a  subsidiary,  without  a  loss  of  control,  is 
accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it: 

•  Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary 

•  Derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest 

•  Derecognises the cumulative translation differences, recorded in equity 
•  Recognises the fair value of the consideration received 

•  Recognises the fair value of any investment retained 
•  Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss 

•  Reclassifies  the  parent’s  share  of  components  previously  recognised  in  other 

comprehensive income to profit or loss. 

(c)  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS 

Business combinations from 1 July 2009 

Business  combinations  are  accounted  for  using  the  acquisition  method.  The  cost  of 
an  acquisition  is  measured  as  the  aggregate  of  the  consideration  transferred, 
measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest 
in  the  acquiree.  For  each  business  combination,  the  acquirer  measures  the  non-
controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of 
the  acquiree’s  identifiable  net  assets.  Acquisition  costs  incurred  are  expensed  and 
included in administrative expenses. 

When  the  Group  acquires  a  business,  it  assesses  the  financial  assets  and  liabilities 
assumed  for  appropriate  classification  and  designation  in  accordance  with  the 
contractual  terms,  economic  circumstances  and  pertinent  conditions  as  at  the 
acquisition  date.  This  includes  the  separation  of  embedded  derivatives  in  host 
contracts by the acquiree. 

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the 
acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at 
the acquisition date through profit or loss.

Company also owns and leases aircraft in its own right. 

In comparison to the above-mentioned requirements, the following differences applied: 

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE 

Business combinations were accounted for using the purchase method. Transaction 
costs directly attributable to the acquisition formed part of the acquisition costs. The 
non-controlling interest (formerly known as minority interest) was measured at the 
proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial 
Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and their interpretations issued 
or  adopted  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board  as  adopted  by  use  in  the

and their amount can be measured reliably.  

(e)  GOODWILL - Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a subsidiary represents the excess 
of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable 
assets,  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  of  the  subsidiary  recognised  at  the  date  of 
acquisition.  Goodwill  is  initially  recognised  as  an  asset  at  cost  and  is  subsequently 
measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. 

Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, 
being  the  excess  of  the  cost  of  the  business  combination  over  the  Group’s  interest  in 
the  net  fair  value  of  the  identifiable  assets,  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities 
recognised.  If,  after  reassessment,  the  Group’s  interest  in  the  net  fair  value  of  the 
acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the 
business combination, the excess is recognised immediately in the profit or loss.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 

The interest of significant minority shareholders in the acquiree is initially measured at 
the non-controlling interest’s proportion of the net fair value of the assets, liabilities and 
contingent liabilities recognised. 

For  the  purpose  of  impairment  testing,  goodwill  is  allocated  to  each  of  the  Group’s 
cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-
generating  units  to  which  goodwill  has  been  allocated  are  tested  for  impairment 
annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If 
the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of 
the  unit,  the  impairment  loss  is  allocated  first  to  reduce  the  carrying  amount  of  any 
goodwill  allocated  to  the  unit  and  then  to  the  other  assets  of  the  unit  pro-rata  on  the 
basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised 
for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. 

On  disposal  of  a  subsidiary,  the  attributable  amount  of  goodwill  is  included  in  the 
determination of the profit or loss on disposal. 

(f) 

INVENTORIES – Inventories of consumable spare parts are stated at the lower of cost 
or market value determined on a portfolio basis. 

(g)  PROPERTY,  PLANT  AND  EQUIPMENT  –  All  items  of  property,  plant  and  equipment 
are  initially  recorded  at  cost.  Subsequent  to  recognition,  Aircraft  are  stated  in  the 
balance  sheet  at  their  revalued  amounts,  being  the  fair  value  at  the  date  of 
revaluation, less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. 
Revaluations  are  performed  with  sufficient  regularity  such  that  the  carrying  amount 
does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair values at the 
balance  sheet  date.  However,  these  aircraft  have  been  reviewed  for  impairment. 
Revaluations have not been carried out in  the period on  the ATR  fleet which is less 
than two years old. 

Any revaluation increase arising on the revaluation of such aircraft is credited to the 
assets  revaluation  reserve,  except  to  the  extent  that  it  reverses  a  revaluation 
decrease for the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, in which case the 
increase is credited to profit or loss to the extent of the decrease previously charged. 
A decrease in carrying amount arising on the revaluation of such aircraft is charged to 
profit  or  loss  to  the  extent  that  it  exceeds  the  balance,  if  any,  held  in  the  assets 
revaluation reserve relating to a previous revaluation of that asset. 

Depreciation on revalued aircraft is charged to profit or loss. On the subsequent sale 
or  retirement  of  a  revalued  aircraft,  the  attributable  revaluation  surplus  remaining  in 
the asset revaluation reserve is transferred directly to retained earnings.

AVATION PLC 
REGISTERED NUMBER: 05872328 (ENGLAND & WALES) 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 

Depreciation  is  charged  so  as  to  write  off  the  cost  or  valuation  of  assets  less 
residual values, over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method, on 
the following bases: 

Aircraft 
Furniture and equipment 

- 
- 

30 years 
3 years 

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are revised and adjusted 
if  appropriate,  at  each  reporting  date.  Residual  value  of  aircraft  are  based  on  their 
estimated scrap value. 

Fully depreciated assets still in use are retained in the financial statements.  

The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant 
and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the 
carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss. 

(h)  IMPAIRMENT  OF  ASSETS  -  At  each  balance  sheet  date,  the  Group  reviews  the 
carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication 
that those assets have suffered an impairment loss.  If any such indication exists, 
the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of 
the  impairment  loss  (if  any).    When  it  is  not  possible  to  estimate  the  recoverable 
amount  of  an  individual  asset,  the  group  estimates  the  recoverable  amount  of  the 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.  If the recoverable amount of an 
asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the 
carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable 
amount.  Impairment losses are recognised as an expense immediately. 

  When  an  impairment  loss  subsequently  reverses,  the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset 
(or  cash-generating  unit)  is  increased  to  the  revised  estimate  of  its  recoverable 
amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed 
the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been 
recognised  for  the  asset  (or  cash-generating  unit)  in  prior  years.    A  reversal  of  an 
impairment loss is recognised as income immediately. 

(i)  PROVISIONS - Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation 
as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the Group will be required to settle 
that  obligation.  Provisions  are  measured  at  the  directors’  best  estimate  of  the 
expenditure  required  to  settle  the  obligation  at  the  balance  sheet  date,  and  are 
discounted  to  present  value  where  the  effect  is  material.  In  respect  of  maintenance 
rent,  a  corresponding  provision 
the  expected 
maintenance  costs  that  will  be  drawn  in  accordance  with  the  lease  conditions  and 
lease term. 

in  accordance  with 

is  made 

(j)  SHARE-BASED  PAYMENTS  –  The  cost  of  share  based  payment  arrangement 
whereby  employees  receive  remuneration  in  the  form  of  warrants,  is  recognised  as 
an  employee  benefit  expense  in  the  profit  or  loss.    The  total  expense  to  be 
apportioned over the vesting period of the benefit is determined by reference to the 
fair  value  at  date  of  grant.    The  assumption  underlying  the  number  of  warrants 
expected  to  vest  are  subsequently  adjusted  for  the  effects  of  non  market-based 
vesting  conditions  prevailing  at  the  balance  sheet  date.    Fair  value  is  measured  by 
the  use  of  the  Binomial  option  pricing  model  and  is  based  on  a  reasonable 
expectation of the extent to which performance criteria will be met.

(k)  LEASES – The Group leases aircraft to airlines under operating leases. Leases of 
aircraft  where  the  Group  retains  substantially  all  risks  and  rewards  incidental  to 
ownership are classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating leases 
(net of any incentives given to the lessees) is recognised in the  profit or loss on a 
straight-line basis over the lease term. 

The  Group  leases  aircraft  for  use  in  the  business.    Where  the  Group  bears 
substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership of the item, the lease is classified 
as  a  finance  lease  and  the  item  is  capitalised  within  the  appropriate  class  of 
property, plant and equipment at the lower of the fair value of the leased item and 
the  minimum  lease  payments.    Each  lease  payment  is  allocated  between  the 
liability and finance charges so as to obtain a constant rate on the finance balance 
outstanding.  The  outstanding  capital  element  of  the  lease  payments  are  included 
within  current  and  long-term  payables  as  appropriate;  the  interest  element  of  the 
lease  payments  is  charged  to  profit  or  loss  over  the  period  of  the  lease  so  as  to 
produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability 
for each period. 

(l)  REVENUE  RECOGNITION  –  Revenue  is  measured  at  the  fair  value  of  the 
consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods 
and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales 
related taxes. 

(i) 

(ii) 

Aircraft rental income is recognised in the profit or loss on a straight line basis 
over  the  terms  of  the  lease.  Lease  incentives  granted  are  recognised  as  an 
integral part of the total rental income. 

Interest  income  is  accrued  on  a  time  basis,  by  reference  to  the  principal 
outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that 
exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of 
the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount. 

(iii) 

Sales  of  goods  are  recognised  when  goods  are  delivered  and  title  has 
passed. 

(iv)  Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholders’ right 

to receive payment have been established. 

(v) 

Licence fees received are recognised over the life of the licence agreement. 
Ongoing  royalties/commissions  pursuant  to  the  licence  agreement  are 
recognised as earned. 

(m) BORROWING  COSTS  -  Borrowing  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition  of 
property,  plant  and  equipment  are  added  to  the  cost  of  the  assets  and  amortised 
over the life of the assets. 

The loan facility fees added to the cost of the assets are amortised over 30 years, 
which is the life of the assets. 

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they 
are incurred.

(n)  TAXATION - Taxation expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and 

deferred tax. 

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the financial period. Taxable 
profit  differs  from  profit  as  reported  in  profit  or  loss  because  it  excludes  items  of 
income  or  expense  that  are  taxable  or  deductible  in  other  years  and  it  further 
excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current 
tax  is  calculated  using  tax  rates  that  have  been  enacted  or  substantively  enacted 
by the balance sheet date. 

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets 
and  liabilities  in  the  financial  statements  and  the  corresponding  tax  bases  used  in 
the  computation  of  taxable  profit,  and  is  accounted  for  using  the  balance  sheet 
liability  method.  Deferred  tax  liabilities  are  generally  recognised  for  all  taxable 
temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is 
probable  that  taxable  profits  will  be  available  against  which  deductible  temporary 
differences  can  be  utilised.  Such  assets  and  liabilities  are  not  recognised  if  the 
temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than 
in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects 
neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. 

Deferred  tax  liabilities  are  recognised  for  taxable  temporary  differences  arising  on 
investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal 
of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not 
reverse in the foreseeable future. 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date 
and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits 
will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. 

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period 
when the liability is settled or the asset realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited 
to  profit  or  loss,  except  when  it  relates  to  items  charged  or  credited  directly  to 
equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  when  there  is  a  legally  enforceable 
right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate 
to  income  taxes  levied  by  the  same  taxation  authority  and  the  Group  intends  to 
settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. 

  With  effect  from  1  April  2011  the  Company  migrated  its  business  to  become 

Singapore resident for tax purposes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 

(o)  FOREIGN  CURRENCIES  -  The  Group’s  consolidated  financial  statements  and 
Company financial statements are presented in United States dollars, which is the 
presentational  currency.  The  individual  financial  statements  of  each  Group  entity 
are  presented  in  the  currency  of  the  primary  economic  environment  in  which  the 
entity operates (its functional currency) and United States Dollars is the functional 
currency of the each of the Group entity, including the parent company. 

There has been a change in accounting policy and has been applied as disclosed 
in Note 34.in Note 34. 

In  preparing  the  financial  statements  of  the  individual  entities,  transactions  in 
currencies  other  than  the  entity’s  functional  currency  (foreign  currencies)  are 
recorded  at  the  rates  of  exchange  prevailing  on  the  dates  of  the  transactions.  At 
each  balance  sheet  date,  monetary  items  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are 
retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items 
carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at 
the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary 
items  that  are  measured  in  terms  of  historical  cost  in  a  foreign  currency  are  not 
retranslated. 

  Exchange  differences  arising  on  the  settlement  of  monetary  items,  and  on  the 
retranslation  of  monetary  items,  are  included  in  the  profit  or  loss  for  the  period. 
Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at 
fair  value  are  included  in  the  profit  or  loss  for  the  period  except  for  differences 
arising  on  the  retranslation  of  non-monetary  items  in  respect  of  which  gains  and 
losses  are  recognised  directly  in  equity.  For  such  non-monetary  items,  any 
exchange component of that gain or loss is also recognised directly in equity. 

  For  the  purpose  of  presenting  consolidated  financial  statements,  the  assets  and 
liabilities  of  the  Group’s  foreign  operations  are  expressed  in  United  States  dollars 
using  exchange  rates  prevailing  on  the  balance  sheet  date.  Income  and  expense 
items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange 
rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at 
the  dates  of  the  transactions  are  used.  Exchange  differences  arising,  if  any,  are 
classified  as  equity  and  transferred  to  the  Group’s  translation  reserve.  Such 
translation  differences  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  in  the  period  in  which  the 
foreign operation is disposed of. 

  Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation 
are  treated  as  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  foreign  operation  and  translated  at  the 
closing rate. 

(p)  FINANCIAL 

INSTRUMENTS  -  Financial  assets  and 

liabilities  are 
recognised on the Group’s balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the 
contractual provisions of the instrument. 

financial 

(i) 

Trade and other receivables – Trade and other receivables are measured at 
initial recognition at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised 
cost  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method.  Appropriate  allowances  for 
estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in profit or loss when there 
is objective evidence that the asset is impaired. The allowance recognised is 
measured  as  the  difference  between  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  and  the 
present  value  of  estimated  future  cash  flows  discounted  at  the  effective 
interest rate computed at initial recognition.

(vi) 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  -  Cash  and  cash  equivalents  comprise  cash  on 
hand and call deposits which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in 
value. 

Financial  liabilities  and  equity  -  Financial  liabilities  and  equity  instruments 
issued  by  the  Group  are  classified  according  to  the  substance  of  the 
contractual  arrangements  entered  into  and  the  definitions  of  a  financial 
liability  and  an  equity  instrument.  An  equity  instrument  is  any  contract  that 
evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of 
its  liabilities.  The  accounting  policies  adopted  for  specific  financial  liabilities 
and equity instruments are set out below. 

Borrowings  -  Interest-bearing  loans  from  banks  and  financial  institutions  are 
initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised 
cost,  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method.  Any  difference  between  the 
proceeds  (net  of  transaction  costs)  and  the  settlement  or  redemption  of 
borrowings is recognised over the term of the borrowings in accordance with 
the Group’s accounting policy for borrowing costs (see above). 

Trade and other payables - Trade payables are stated at their original 
invoiced value, as the interest that would be recognised from discounting 
future cash payments over the short payment period is not considered to be 
material. 

(vii) 

Equity instruments - Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded 
at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS 

Estimates  and  assumptions  concerning  the  future  are  made  in  the  preparation  of  the 
financial  statements.    They  affect  the  application  of  the  Group’s  accounting  policies, 
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosures made.  They 
are  assessed  on  an  ongoing  basis  and  are  based  on  experience  and  relevant  factors, 
including  expectations  of  future  events  that  are  believed  to  be  reasonable  under  the 
circumstances. 

The  key  assumptions  concerning  the  future  estimation  uncertainty  at  the  balance  sheet 
date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of 
assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. 

(i) 

Impairment of property, plant and equipment – aircraft 

The Group periodically evaluates its aircraft for impairment.  Factors that would 
indicate  potential  impairment  would  include,  but  not  be  limited  to,  significant 
decreases  in  the  market  value  of  aircraft,  a  significant  adverse  change  in  an 
aircraft’s  physical  condition  or  a  significant  adverse  change  in  cash-flow 
associated with the use of the aircraft.  The Group continues to record positive 
cash flows from its aircraft 

(ii) 

Revaluation of property, plant and equipment – aircraft 

the 

financial  year, 

The Group regularly revalues its aircraft using independent valuers valuations.  
During 
its  older  aircraft  using 
independent  valuers  valuations  and  the  carrying  amount  of  the  aircraft  is 
reduced  to  its  recoverable  value.    Impairment  losses  were  recognised  as  an 
expense immediately. 

the  Group  revalued 

(iii) 

Maintenance reserve claim 

The  Group  provides  for  maintenance  reserve  claims  for  certain  aircraft.  
Management  has  relied  on  industry  experience  and  information  from  aircraft 
manufacturers  and  airlines  to  estimate  the  provision  for  the  maintenance 
reserve  claims.  These  estimates  can  be  subject  to  revisions  depending  on  a 
number of factors such as the timing of the planned maintenance, the utilisation 
of  the  aircraft,  changes  to  the  manufacturer’s  maintenance  program  or  a 
change  in  the  estimated  costs.  Management  evaluates  its  estimates  and 
assumptions  and,  when  warranted,  adjusts  these  assumptions  which  may 
impact the maintenance reserve claim expense in the profit or loss.

(iv) 

Income taxes 

Significant  judgment  is  required  in  determining  the  capital  allowances  and 
deductibility  of  certain  expenses  during  the  estimation  of  the  provision  for 
income  taxes.  There  are  many  transactions  and  calculations  for  which  the 
ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. 
The  Group  recognises  liabilities  for  anticipated  tax  issues  based  on  estimates 
of  whether  additional  taxes  will  be  due.  Where  the  final  tax  outcome  of  these 
matters  is  different  from  the  amounts  that  were  initially  recorded,  such 
differences will impact the income tax and deferred income tax provisions in the 
period in which the determination is made. 

(v) 

Consolidation  of  special  purpose  entity  (“SPE”)  –  Avation  Airframe  Holdings 
Pte. Ltd. 

The directors have considered whether this company, which was set up during 
the previous year and which forms part of a financing structure to facilitate the 
acquisition  of  certain  new  aircraft,  should  be  consolidated  as  a  subsidiary 
undertaking.    Although  the  ultimate  shareholder  of  the  SPE  is  a  trust,  the 
directors  consider  that  Avation  PLC  has  the  power  to  control  the  day  to  day 
activities  of  the  SPE  and  indeed  does  so  in  practice  through  one  of  its  wholly 
owned  subsidiary  undertakings.    Furthermore,  Avation  PLC  is  entitled  to  the 
benefits and exposed to the risks of the activities of the SPE, which are entirely 
consistent  with  the  ongoing  major  operations  of  the  Avation  Group,  and  are 
conducted  on  behalf  of  the  Group  according  to  the  Group’s  specific  business 
needs.    Accordingly  the  directors  consider  that  the  SPE  is  controlled  by  the 
Group and have consolidated it as a subsidiary in these financial statements. 

The Group would cease to control the SPE in the event of a “Relevant Event” 
as  defined  in  the  financing  agreement,  for  example,  a  delay  in  payment  of 
interest. Were this to occur consolidation would cease at that point although the 
Group has no intention, or anticipation, that any such event will occur.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

The  main  risks  arising  from  the  Group’s  financial  assets  and  liabilities  are  airline  industry 
risks, credit risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and liquidity risks. 

(i) 

Airline Industry Risks 

The Group faces risks specific to the aviation sector, war, terrorism, and equipment 
failure.  These  exposures  are  managed  through  the  equipment  of  the  airlines  that 
lease  the  Group’s  assets  to  maintain  insurance,  adequate  maintenance  policies 
and/or  contribute  to  a  maintenance  reserve  for  the  major  maintenance  on  each 
aircraft. 

(ii)  Credit risk 

Credit risk refers to the risk that debtors will default on their obligations to repay the 
amounts owing to the Group, resulting in a loss to the Group.  

The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Group has adopted 
relevant  credit  policy  in  extending  credit  terms  to  customers  and  in  monitoring  its 
credit terms. 

The  credit  policy  spelt  out  clearly  the  guidelines  on  extending  credit  terms  to 
customers,  including  monitoring  the  process.  This  includes  assessing  customers’ 
credit  standing  and  periodic  review  of  their  financial  status  to  determine  the  credit 
limits  to  be  granted.  The  Company  performs  ongoing  credit  evaluation  of  its 
customers’  financial  condition  and  generally,  requires  no  collateral  from  its 
customers. 

The  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk  in  the  event  that  the  counterparties  fail  to 
perform  their  obligations  as  at  the  end  of  the  financial  period  in  relation  to  each 
class  of  financial  assets  is  the  carrying  amount  of  those  assets  as  stated  in  the 
balance sheet. 

The  Group  currently  has  exposure  to  three  airline  customers  across  three 
continents  with  regards  to  its  aircraft  leasing  business  and  diversification  will 
continue as the Company grows its asset base.

(iii) 

Interest rate risk 

The  Group  is  exposed  to  interest  rate  risk  through  the  impact  of  rate  changes  on 
interest bearing liabilities and assets.  

The Group further seeks to reduce this risk by fixing interest rates on loans to match 
the term of the underlying lease term of the asset. 

The  interest  rate  and  terms  of  repayment  of  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities 
are disclosed in the respective notes to the financial statements. 

(iv)  Foreign currency risk 

Foreign  currency  risk  occurs  as  a  result  of  the  Group’s  transactions  that  are  not 
denominated  in  its  functional  currencies.  The  Group’s  foreign  currency  exposures 
arose  mainly  from  the  exchange  rate  movements  of  the  Pound  Sterling  and  United 
States dollar. These exposures are managed primarily by using natural hedges that 
arise from offsetting assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies. 

The Group does not utilise forward foreign currency contracts to hedge its exposure 
to specific currency risks.

(vi)  Capital risk 

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue 
as  a  going  concern  and  to  maintain  a  suitable  capital  structure  so  as  to  fund  growth  and 
maximise shareholder value.  In order to maintain or achieve an optimal capital structure, the 
Group  may  adjust  the  amount  of  dividend  payment,  return  capital  to  shareholders,  issue  new 
shares, buy back issued shares, obtain new borrowings or sell assets to reduce borrowings. 

Management monitors capital based on a gearing ratio.  The gearing ratio is calculated as net 
debt  divided  by  total  capital.    Net  debt  is  calculated  as  borrowings  plus  trade  and  other 
payables less cash and cash equivalents.

EARNINGS PER SHARE 

(a) 

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) 

EPS  is  calculated  by  dividing  the  net  profit  attributable  to  members  of  the 
Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during 
the financial year.

(b) 

Diluted earnings per share 

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, profit attributable to equity 
holders  of  the  Company  and  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares 
outstanding are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.  The 
Company has one category of dilutive potential ordinary shares; warrants. 

For warrants, the weighted average number of shares on issue has been adjusted as 
if  all  dilutive  share  options  were  exercised.    The  number  of  shares  that  could  have 
been issued upon the exercise of all dilutive share option less the number of shares 
that  could  have  been  issued  at  fair  value  (determined  as  the  Company’s  average 
share  price  for  the  financial  year)  for  the  same  total  proceeds  is  added  to  the 
denominator  as  the  number  of  shares  issued  for  no  consideration.    None  of  the 
warrants in existence are dilutive as their exercise price is greater that the weighted 
average share price. No adjustment is made to the net profit. 

Diluted  earnings  per  share  attributable  to  equity  holders  of  the  Company  is 
calculated as follows:

On 25 March 2008, the subsidiary, Capital Lease Aviation PLC acquired the right, title and 
interest  in  the  aircraft  held  on  trust  by  Wilmington  Trust  Company  (“Wilmington”),  a  US 
trust company. As the  aircraft is registered in the US, legal title to the aircraft is held by 
Wilmington and Capital Lease Aviation PLC is the beneficial owner. The aircraft is leased 
by Wilmington to a US airline. 

Assets held under finance lease 

During  the  financial  year,  the  Group  acquired  aircraft  with  an  aggregated  cost  of 
US$16,560,816  (2012:  US$37,000,000)  and  the  Company  acquired  aircraft  with  an 
aggregated  cost  of  US$16,560,816  (2012:  US$Nil)  by  means  of  finance  leases 
respectively. 

The  carrying  amount  of  aircraft  held  under  finance  leases  at  the  end  of  the  reporting 
period was US$54,768,779 (2012: US$43,664,897). 

Assets pledged as security 

In addition to assets held under finance leases, the Group’s aircraft with carrying values 
of  US$  261,655,019  (2012:  US$170,972,560)  are  mortgaged  to  secure  the  Group’s 
borrowings (Note 24). 

The  Group’s  property,  plant  and  equipment  include  borrowing  costs  from  bank  loans 
specifically  used  for  purchase  of  aircraft.  During  the  financial  year,  the  borrowing  costs 
capitalised as cost of property, plant and equipment amount to US$210,000 (2012: US$Nil). 

The  Group’s  older  aircraft  were  revalued  either  at  January  2013  or  June  2013  by 
independent valuers, on the basis of lease encumbered value and the carrying value of the 
aircraft  is  reduced  to  its  recoverable  value.    Impairment  losses  were  recognised  as  an 
expense immediately.

Goodwill is allocated to the cash generating unit ("CGU") Avation.net Inc which is in the 
procurement business. 

The recoverable amount of Avation.net Inc has been determined based on a value-in-use 
calculation using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by management 
covering the next financial year. 

Management  believes  that  no  reasonably  possible  change  in  any  of  the  above  key 
assumptions  would  cause  the  carrying  value  of  the  CGU  to  materially  exceed  its 
recoverable amount.

8)  Secured  borrowing  VIII  –  XV,  the  Group  entered  into  Type  A  loan  facilities  with  an 
institution  to  partially  finance  the  purchase  of  aircraft.  The  loans  are  secured  by  the 
following:

loan. The security given by the Group in respect of each such loan is for a term also 
matching the term of the loan and lease of the corresponding Aircraft. 

The  Group  may  not  deal  with  any  Aircraft  nor  the  associated  assets  and  rights 
relating to each such Aircraft without the consent of the institution under the Type A 
Loan  Facility,  save  to  the  extent  that  such  transaction  would  enable  the  Group  to 
repay the loan relating to the Aircraft. 

The above charges also apply to junior secured borrowing VIII – XV but such lenders’ 
rights  under  the  security  are  sub-ordinated  to  and  rank  behind  those  of  the  lender 
under the Type A Loan Facility.

such  loan.  The  security  given  by  the  Group  in  respect  of  each  such  loan  is  for  a 
term also matching the term of the loan and lease of the corresponding Aircraft. 

The  Group  may  not  deal  with  any  Aircraft  nor  the  associated  assets  and  rights 
relating  to  each  such  Aircraft  without  the  consent  of  the  financial  institution  under 
the Type B Loan Facility, save to the extent that such transaction would enable the 
Group to repay the loan relating to the Aircraft. 

The above charges also the junior secured borrowing XVI but such lenders’ rights 
under the security are sub-ordinated to and rank behind those of the lender under 
the Type B Loan Facility. 

10)  The Group entered into Type C Loan Facilities with an institution to partially finance 
the purchase of aircraft. Secured borrowing XVII is secured by the following: 

(a)  Aircraft  mortgages  in  respect  of  the  aircraft  purchased  with  the  proceeds  of 

Type C Loan Facilities (the “Aircraft”) 

(b)  Security  assignments  of  the  Group’s  right  under  the  leases  and  other 

contractual documents relating to the Aircraft 

(c)  A  charge  over  its  bank  accounts  into  which  lease  payments  relating  to  the 

Aircraft are received; 

(d)  A  charge  over  the  entire  issued  share  capital  of  Airframe  Leasing  (S)  IV  Pte. 

Ltd. (a subsidiary) 

Each  advance  under  the  Type  C  Loan  Facility  is  a  separate  10  year  loan  whose 
term matches the term of the lease of the Aircraft purchased with the proceeds of 
such  loan.  The  security  given  by  the  Group  in  respect  of  each  such  loan  is  for  a 
term also matching the term of the loan and lease of the corresponding Aircraft. 

The  Group  may  not  deal  with  any  Aircraft  nor  the  associated  assets  and  rights 
relating to each such Aircraft without the consent of the institution under the Type C 
Loan Facility, save to the extent that such transaction would enable the Group to 
repay the loan relating to the Aircraft. 

The above charges also apply to junior secured borrowing XVII but such lenders’ 
rights under the security are sub-ordinated to and rank behind those of the lender 
under the Type C Loan Facility. 

11)  Secured borrowing XVIII is secured by a first priority mortgage on the aircraft of its 
subsidiary,  MSN  429  Leaseco  Limited,  security  assignments  of  the  subsidiary’s 
rights under the leases and other contractual documents relating to the aircraft.

12)  Secured  borrowing  XIX  is  secured  by  a  first  ranking  mortgage  on  the  aircraft  of  its 
subsidiary,  MSN  1607  Pte.  Ltd.,  security  assignments  in  favour  of  the  lender  of  the 
subsidiary’  rights  under  the  leases  and  other  contractual  documents  relating  to  the

The average interest rates for the outside party borrowings range from 3.24% to 8.25% per 
annum (2012: 4% to 9.90% per annum). 

All  the  loans  are  denominated  in  United  States  Dollars.  The  carrying  amounts  of  the

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS 

Share options and warrants 

The Group has an ownership-based compensation scheme for directors and senior management of 
the Group.  

Each share warrant converts into one ordinary share of Avation PLC on exercise. No amounts are 
paid or are payable by the recipient on receipt of the warrant. The warrants carry neither rights to 
dividends nor voting rights. Warrants may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the 
date of their expiry. 

Warrants are granted to the directors and senior management of the Group to gain: 

• 
• 
• 

Improvement in share price 
Improvement in net profit 
Improvement in return to shareholders 

The following share-based payment arrangements were in existence during the current reporting

The weighted average fair value of the warrants granted during the last financial year was 8.17 
pence. The value of the warrants granted during the last financial year was US$103,565.  

The warrants were priced using the Binomial option pricing model. Where relevant, the expected 
life  used  in  the  model  has  been  adjusted  based  on  the  management’s  best  estimate  for  the 
effects  of  non-transferability,  exercise  restrictions  (including  the  probability  of  meeting  market 
conditions attached to the option), and behavioural considerations. Expected volatility is based on 
the historical share price volatility over the past four months.

The above capital commitments represent amounts due under contracts entered into by 
the group to purchase aircraft after exercising options. The company has paid deposits 
towards the cost of these aircraft which are included in trade and other receivables. 

In addition to the aircraft which the group has committed to purchasing, the group holds 
options  to purchase an additional 10 aircraft at agreed prices. The options are held in 
the balance sheet at cost as it is not possible to place a reliable estimate on their fair 
values. Uncertainties exist over the finance to exercise the options and the market price 
of  the  aircraft  at  the  time  of  delivery,  given  aircraft  are  non-financial  assets  with  no 
indexed  market  and  long  lead  times.  There  is  no  open  market  on  which  to  trade  the 
options and the Group has no history of exercising options and selling the asset shortly 
after,  accordingly  it  is  not  considered  appropriate  to  recognise  any  potential  gain  on 
these  options  arising  from  potential  increases  in  aircraft  values  over  and  above  the 
option price.

Contingencies 

The Company’s subsidiary, F100 Pty. Ltd. receives maintenance rent from the lease 
of its aircraft in addition to the base rent. Lessees may be entitled to be reimbursed 
for specific long term maintenance items (“maintenance rent activities”) that they may 
incur during the term of the lease. The lessees must not be in default of the lease and 
must satisfy certain conditions before they can claim. Furthermore, the lessees must 
provide invoices and supporting documentation as satisfactory evidence to F100 Pty. 
Ltd. that the maintenance rent activity has been carried out necessarily. 

The amount of the claim for any one maintenance rent activity is limited to the total 
amount of the maintenance rent received for that specific maintenance rent activity to 
date under the lease for that aircraft. 

The carrying out of each specific maintenance activity is dependent on the number of 
cycles and flying hours conducted by the aircraft. 

Consequently,  F100  Pty.  Ltd.  have  a  contingent  liability  which  is  conditional  on  the 
volume of cycles and flying hours of the aircraft, upon the actual cost of maintenance 
rent  activity,  the  lessee  making  a  valid  claim  with  the  required  documents  in  the 
required  time  frame,  and  there  being  an  unclaimed  balance  against  the  specific 
maintenance rent activity for that aircraft. 

Any  unclaimed  balance  that  F100  Pty.  Ltd.  holds  at  the  end  of  the  lease  is  not 
refundable to the lessees. 

During the financial year ended 30 June 2013, the Group had received US$1,993,142 
(2012: US$2,003,097) in maintenance rent. 

to  manufacturers’ 

The  future  claims  against  the  maintenance  reserves  funds  can  be  estimated 
according 
typical  aircraft  usage.  
Unforeseen  events  may  occur  however,  which  creates  some  uncertainty  for  the 
Group in calculating the final future claimable amount and the timing of such claims 
from the maintenance reserve funds. 

recommendations  and 

The Company’s subsidiary, MSN 1607 Pte. Ltd. has acquired an aircraft during the year 
together  with  a  contingent  liability  to  pay  amounts  to  the  lessee  dependent  upon  the 
return  condition  of  the  aircraft  at  the  end  of  the  lease  term.    It  would  only  become 
payable by the subsidiary to the lessee in the event that the aircraft is returned at lease-
end/redelivery at the end of the lease in April 2018 in a full life condition.  Management 
is  of  the  view  that  the  return  condition  of  the  aircraft  will  be  at  half  life  condition.    A 
reliable estimate of the future payment obligation at half life condition cannot be made 
and hence a provision not made.

SEGMENT INFORMATION 

a) 

Segment reporting policy 

A  segment  is  a  distinguishable  component  of  the  Group  within  a  particular  economic 
environment (geographical segment) and to a particular industry (business segment) which 
is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments. 

The primary format, business segments, is based on the Group’s management and internal 
reporting structure. In presenting information on the basis of business segments, segment 
revenue and segment assets are based on the nature of the products or services provided 
by  the  Group,  information  for  geographical  segments  is  based  on  the  geographical  areas 
where the customers are located. 

Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis. Segment results, assets and 
liabilities  include  items  directly  attributable  to  a  segment  as  well  as  those  that  can  be 
allocated  on  a  reasonable  basis.  Unallocated  items  comprise  mainly  of  corporate  assets 
and liabilities or profit or losses items that are not directly attributable to a segment or those 
that cannot be allocated on a reasonable basis. Common expenses were allocated based 
on revenue from the Group. 

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire segment 
assets that are expected to be used for more than one year. 

b) 

Primary reporting segment – business segments 

During  the  year  ended  30  June  2013,  the  Group  was  organised  into  two  main  business 
segments which are aircraft leasing and business procurement. 

Other  operations  of  the  Group  mainly  comprise  investment  holding  which  does  not 
constitute  a  separate  reportable  segment.  There  are  no  inter-segment  transactions 
recorded during the financial period. 

The  business  procurement  segment  does  not  meet  the  quantitative  thresholds  and  is  not 
separately disclosed.

34  CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Items  included  in  the  financial  statements  of  the  Company  for  the  financial  period  ended  30  June 
2012  were  measured  and  presented  using  the  Pound  Sterling  (£).    During  the  current  financial 
period  ended  30  June  2013,  United  States  Dollars  (US$)  was  adopted  as  the  Company’s 
presentational currency.  

The  Company  determined  that  using  US$  as  its  presentational  currency  best  reflected  the 
economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to the Company as it is 
the functional currency of the Group. 

This change of accounting policy requires items in the financial statements, including comparative 
figures to be measured and presented in US$. 

In year 2012, the foreign translation reserve was £2.5m arose from translating subsidiaries whose 
presentational currency was US$ in to £, and now the Group accounts are presented in  US$ that 
this reserve has been eliminated.
