Abu Dhabi Aviation

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December

1 Legal status and principal activities

Abu Dhabi Aviation (the “Company”) is a national shareholding company incorporated in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates by the Decrees and Laws No. 3, No. 10, No. 8, No. 9 and No. 11 of the years 1982, 1985, 1999, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The Company’s shares are listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange.

The Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) have been established to own and operate helicopters and fixed wing aircraft both within and outside the United Arab Emirates and to undertake charter, commercial, air cargo and other related services. The Company has its registered office at P.O. Box 2723, Abu Dhabi, UAE. Information about Group’s consolidation structure is described in note 3(a).

2 Basis of preparation

(a) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and Interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee of the IASB (IFRIC) and applicable requirements of the laws of the UAE.

(b) Basis of measurement

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for investments and investment properties, which are carried at fair value.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in United Arab Emirates Dirhams (“AED”), which is the Company’s functional and presentational currency. All values are rounded to the nearest AED thousand, unless otherwise indicated.

(d) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in these consolidated financial statements are described in Note 5.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December

3 Significant accounting policies

The Group has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements except for the new standards and interpretations that became applicable and were adopted during the year (refer note 4).

New standards and interpretations adopted:

During the year new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have become effective for the period and have been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. The amendment is listed below:

 IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers  IFRS 9 Financial Instruments  Transfers of Investment Property (Amendments to IAS 40)  IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

(a) Basis of consolidation

The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group. The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group ‘controls’ an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.

Non-controlling interests (NCI) are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition. Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related NCI and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

b) Investment in joint ventures

A joint venture is an arrangement in which the Group has joint control, whereby the Group has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities.

18

Abu Dhabi Aviation

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

(b) Investment in joint ventures (continued)

Investment in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognised at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity-accounted investees, until the date on which significant influence or joint control ceases.

Losses of a joint venture in excess of the Group's interest in that joint venture (which includes any long term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in joint venture) are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of a joint venture.

Where an entity in the Group transacts with a joint venture of the Group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the relevant joint venture.

(c) Revenue from contracts with customers

The Group has initially applied IFRS 15 from 1 January 2018. Information about the Group’s accounting policies relating to contracts with customers is provided in Note 24. The effect of initially applying IFRS 15 is described in Note 4.

(d) Leases

i) Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease

At inception of an arrangement, the Group determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease.

At inception or on reassessment of an arrangement that contains a lease, the Group separates payments and other consideration required by the arrangement into those for the lease and those for other elements on the basis of their relative fair values. If the Group concludes for a finance lease that it is impracticable to separate the payments reliably, then an asset and a liability are recognised at an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying asset; subsequently, the liability is reduced as payments are made and an imputed finance cost on the liability is recognised using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

ii) Leased assets

Leases of property and equipment that transfer to the Group substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. The leased assets are measured initially at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.

Assets held under other leases are classified as operating leases and are not recognised in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position.

19

Abu Dhabi Aviation

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

(d) Leases (continued)

iii) Lease payments

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

iv) Sale and finance leaseback transaction

If the sale and leaseback transaction results in a finance lease, any excess of sales proceeds over the carrying amount is deferred and amortised over the lease term.

v) Sale and operating leaseback transactions

If the sale and leaseback transaction results in an operating lease, any profit or loss is recognised immediately in the profit or loss to the extent of fair value of the asset.

If the sale price is lower than the fair value, any profit or loss is recognised immediately except that if the loss is compensated for by future lease payments at below market price, it is deferred and amortised in proportion to the lease payments over the period for which the asset is expected to be used.

If the sale price is above fair value,the excess over the fair value is deferred and amortised over the period for which the asset is expected to be used.

(e) Interest / divdend income and interest expense

Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss on the date on which the Group’s right to receive payment is established.

The ‘effective interest rate’ is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:

 the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or  the amortised cost of the financial liability.

In calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit-impaired) or to the amortised cost of the liability. However, for financial assets that have become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

(f) Foreign currency

i) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group companies at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss

ii) Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into AED at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into AED at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the translation reserve, except to the extent that the translation difference is allocated to non- controlling interests.

(g) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale.

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

(h) Government grants

Non-monetary government grants are recognised at nominal value where there is reasonable assurance that the asset will be received and the Group will comply with any attached conditions, where applicable. Government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognised as deferred income in the consolidated statement of financial position and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

Other government grants are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the costs for which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

Deferred income relating to Maximus Air – Sole Proprietorship L.L.C is recognised at the nominal value of shares that was granted to the Company. Deferred income is amortised on the basis of the agreed legal duration of the related investment of 25 years.

Deferred income relating to property and equipment granted by the Abu Dhabi Government to Royal Jet L.L.C. is recognised at the nominal value of the assets. Deferred income is amortised on the basis of the estimated useful life of the asset.

Abu Dhabi Aviation

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

(i) Property and equipment

i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

If significant parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.

ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group. The cost of replacing part of an item of property and equipment including major inspections and overhauls is recognised in the carrying amount of the related asset if it is probable that future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The remaining carrying amount of replaced parts is derecognised simultaneously. Major inspections and overhaul are capitalised as a separate component of property and equipment and are amortised over the period to the next major overhaul.

iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis so as to write off the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives, after allowing for estimated residual value. The estimated useful lives of the Group's property and equipment are disclosed in Note 6.

Residual value is the net amount which the Group expects to obtain for an asset at the end of its useful life after deducting the expected costs of disposal. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each year end, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Depreciation of operational property and equipment commences with the commercial use of the asset. Surpluses arising on revaluation are transferred to a revaluation reserve. This reserve is released to distributable reserves when assets are sold or disposed of.

(j) Assets held for sale

Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held for sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use.

Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, employee benefit assets or investment property which continue to be measured in accordance with the Group’s other accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held-for-sale or held for distribution and subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss.

Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets and property and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated, and any equity-accounted investee is no longer equity accounted.

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

(k) Investment properties

Investment properties are initially measured at cost and subsequently at fair value with any change therein recognised in profit or loss.

Any gain or loss on disposal of investment properties (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in profit or loss. When investment properties that were previously classified as property and equipment are sold, any related amount included in the revaluation reserve is transferred to retained earnings.

(l) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in, first-out principle wherein the cost of inventories includes the invoiced cost, freight expenses, duties and other expenses incurred in bringing the inventories to their present condition and location. Allowance is made in the accounts for obsolete and slow-moving items based on management's judgement.

(m) Impairment

i) Non-derivative financial assets

Policy applicable from 1 January 2018

Financial instruments and contract assets

The Group recognises loss allowances for ECLs on:

 financial assets measured at amortised cost;  debt investments measured at FVOCI; and  contract assets.

The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except for the following, which are measured at 12-month ECLs:

 debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and  other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

Loss allowances for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.

The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly based on significant judgement. Specific factors management considers include the age of balance, background of the customers, existence of disputes, recent historical payment patterns and any other available information concerning the creditworthiness of the counterparty.

(m) Impairment (continued)

i) Non-derivative financial assets (continued)

Policy applicable from 1 January 2018 (continued)

Financial instruments and contract assets (continued)

The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to actions such as realising security (if any is held).

The Group considers a debt security to have low credit risk when its credit risk rating is equivalent to the globally understood definition of ‘investment grade’.

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.

Measurement of ECLs

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive).

ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

Credit-impaired financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost and debt securities at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

 significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;  a breach of contract such as a default;  the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise;  it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or  the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.

Presentation of allowance for ECL in the statement of financial position

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.

For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charged to profit or loss and is recognised in OCI.

Write-off

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. The Group individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Group expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

Policy applicable before 1 January 2018

Financial assets not classified as at FVTPL were assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there was objective evidence of impairment.

Objective evidence that financial assets were impaired included:

 default or delinquency by a debtor;  restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise;  indications that a debtor or issuer would enter bankruptcy;  adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers;  the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties; or  observable data indicating that there was a measurable decrease in the expected cash flows from a group of financial assets.

(m) Impairment (continued)

i) Non-derivative financial assets (continued)

Policy applicable before 1 January 2018 (continued)

Financial assets The Group considered evidence of impairment for these assets at both an at amortised individual asset and a collective level. All individually significant assets cost were individually assessed for impairment. Those found not to be impaired were then collectively assessed for any impairment that had been incurred but not yet individually identified. Assets that were not individually significant were collectively assessed for impairment. Collective assessment was carried out by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics. In assessing collective impairment, the Group used historical information on the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, and made an adjustment if current economic and credit conditions were such that the actual losses were likely to be greater or lesser than suggested by historical trends. An impairment loss was calculated as the difference between an asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses were recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account. When the Group considered that there were no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts were written off. If the amount of impairment loss subsequently decreased and the decrease was related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, then the previously recognised impairment loss was reversed through profit or loss. Investment in The objective evidence of impairment included a significant or prolonged equity decline in its fair value below its cost. The Group considers a decline of instrument 20% to be significant and a period of nine months to be prolonged.

ii) Non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than investment properties) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment.

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or Cash Generating Units (CGUs). Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

(m) Impairment (continued)

ii) Non-financial assets (continued)

Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

(n) Financial instruments

i) Recognition and initial measurement

Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

ii) Classification and subsequent measurement

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortised cost; FVOCI – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL.

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

 it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and  its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

 it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and  its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

(n) Financial instruments (continued)

ii) Classification and subsequent measurement (continued)

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Financial assets – Business model assessment

The Group makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information considered includes:

 the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include whether management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows or realising cash flows through the sale of the assets;  how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Group’s management;  the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed;  how managers of the business are compensated – e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and  the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and expectations about future sales activity.

Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales for this purpose, consistent with the Group’s continuing recognition of the assets.

Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are measured at FVTPL.

Financial assets – Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest

For the purposes of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.

ii) Classification and subsequent measurement (continued)

Financial assets – Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest (continued)

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Group considers:

 contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;  terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate features;  prepayment and extension features; and  terms that limit the Group’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features).

A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest criterion if the prepayment amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, which may include reasonable additional compensation for early termination of the contract. Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a discount or premium to its contractual par amount, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that substantially represents the contractual par amount plus accrued (but unpaid) contractual interest (which may also include reasonable additional compensation for early termination) is treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment feature is insignificant at initial recognition.

Financial assets – Subsequent measurement and gains and losses

Financial assets at These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and FVTPL losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets at These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the amortised cost effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss. Debt investments at These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income FVOCI calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss. Equity investments These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are at FVOCI recognised as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

Financial liabilities – Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.

The Group's financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, due to a related party, term loans, finance lease liabilities and other non-current liability, which are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis except, for short-term liabilities when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

iii) Derecognition

Financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised in its statement of financial position, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognised.

Financial liabilities

The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value.

On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or loss.

iv) Offsetting

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

30

Abu Dhabi Aviation

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

(o) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated.

Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.

(p) Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Termination benefits for non UAE Nationals For Group entities domiciled in the UAE, provision for staff terminal benefits is made in accordance to the UAE Federal Labour Law and is determined as the liability that would arise if the employment of all staff were to be terminated at the reporting date.

Termination benefits for UAE Nationals With respect to its UAE national employees, the Company makes contributions to a pension fund established by the UAE General Pension and Social Security Authority calculated as a percentage of the employees’ salary. The Company’s obligations are limited to those contributions, which are expensed when due.

Pension contributions are made in respect of UAE national employees to Abu Dhabi Retirement Pensions and Benefits Fund in accordance with the UAE Federal Law No. (2) of 2000. Such contributions are charged to the profit or loss during the employees' period of service.

An actuarial valuation is not performed on staff terminal and other benefits as the net impact of the discount rate and future salary and benefits level on the present value of the benefits obligation are not expected by management to be significant.

(q) New standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective

A number of new standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2018 and earlier application is permitted; however, the Group has not early applied the following new or amended standards in preparing these consolidated financial statements,

Management has performed its assessment on the following standards and concluded that these standards do not have material impact on the Group’s financial statements in the period of initial application.

31

Abu Dhabi Aviation

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

(q) New standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective

i) IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 introduces a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognises a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard – i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases.

IFRS 16 replaces existing leases guidance, including IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.

The Group is required to adopt IFRS 16 Leases from 1 January 2019. The Group is in the process of evaluating the potential impact of IFRS 16 on the financial statements.

Transition

The Group plans to apply IFRS 16 initially on 1 January 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, the cumulative effect of adopting IFRS 16 will be recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at 1 January 2019, with no restatement of comparative information.

The Group plans to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the definition of a lease on transition. This means that it will apply IFRS 16 to all contracts entered into before 1 January 2019 and identified as leases in accordance with IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.

ii) Other standards

The following amended standards and interpretations are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

 IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Tax Treatments.  Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation (Amendments to IFRS 9).  Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures (Amendments to IAS 28).  Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement (Amendments to IAS 19).  Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2015–2017 Cycle – various standards.  Amendments to References to Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards.  IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts.

4 Changes in significant accounting policies

The Group has initially applied IFRS 15 (see A) and IFRS 9 (see B) from 1 January 2018. A number of other new standards are also effective from 1 January 2018 but they do not have a material effect on the Group’s financial statements.

Due to the transition methods chosen by the Group in applying these standards, comparative information throughout these financial statements has not been restated to reflect the requirements of the new standards.

32

Abu Dhabi Aviation

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December

4 Changes in significant accounting policies (continued)

A) IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaced IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and related interpretations. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of the goods or services. Determining the timing of the transfer of control – at a point in time or over time – requires judgement.

The Group has adopted IFRS 15 using the cumulative effect method (without practical expedients), with the effect of initially applying this standard recognised at the date of initial application (i.e. 1 January 2018). Accordingly, the information presented for 2017 has not been restated – i.e. it is presented, as previously reported, under IAS 18, IAS 11 and related interpretations. Additionally, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 15 have not generally been applied to comparative information.

IFRS 15 did not have a significant impact on the Group’s accounting policies with respect to all revenue streams. Further information about the Group’s accounting policies relating to contracts with customers is provided in Note 24.

B) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 sets out requirements for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell non-financial items. This standard replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

As a result of the adoption of IFRS 9, the Group has adopted consequential amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, which require impairment of financial assets to be presented in a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Previously, the Group’s approach was to include the impairment of trade receivables in general and administrative expenses. Consequently, the Group reclassified net impairment losses and recovery of impaired trade receivables amounting to AED 19.3 million, recognised under IAS 39, from ‘general and administrative expenses’ to ‘impairment loss on trade receivables’ and ‘recovery of impaired trade receivables’ respectively in the statement of profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2017.

Additionally, the Group has adopted consequential amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures that are applied to disclosures about 2018 but have not been generally applied to comparative information.

i) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

IFRS 9 largely retains the existing requirements in IAS 39 for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities.

The adoption of IFRS 9 has not had a significant effect on the Group’s accounting policies related to financial liabilities.

For an explanation of how the Group classifies and measures financial instruments and accounts for related gains and losses under IFRS 9, see Note 3(n)(ii).

ii) Impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 replaces the ‘incurred loss’ model in IAS 39 with an ‘expected credit loss’ (ECL) model. The new impairment model applies to financial assets measured at amortised cost, contract assets and debt investments at FVOCI, but not to investments in equity instruments. Under IFRS 9, credit losses are recognised earlier than under IAS 39 – see Note 3(m)(i).

33

Abu Dhabi Aviation

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December

4 Changes in significant accounting policies (continued)

B) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (continued)

ii) Impairment of financial assets (continued)

For assets in the scope of the IFRS 9 impairment model, impairment losses are generally expected to increase and become more volatile. The Group has determined that the application of IFRS 9’s impairment requirements at 1 January 2018 does not result in any material additional allowance for impairment. Additional information about how the Group measures the allowance for impairment is described in Note 29(c)(ii).

iii) Transition

Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 have been applied retrospectively, except as described below.

If an investment in a debt security had low credit risk at the date of initial application of IFRS 9, then the Group has assumed that the credit risk on the asset had not increased significantly since its initial recognition.

5 Use of estimates and judgements

While applying the accounting policies as stated in Note 3, management of the Group has made certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

(a) Joint venture

As describe in Note 9, AgustaWestland Aviation Services L.L.C. (“AWAS”) is a joint venture of the Company and Agusta SpA. Although the Company owns a 70% ownership interest in AWAS, the Company does not have control or significant influence over AWAS as it is contractually agreed with Agusta SpA that the relevant activities of AWAS require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. AWAS is a limited liability company whose legal form confers separation between the parties to the joint arrangement and the company itself. Furthermore, there are no contractual arrangements or any other facts and circumstances that indicate that the parties to the joint arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the joint arrangement. Accordingly, AWAS is classified as a joint venture of the Company.

(b) Subsidiary

The Company has a 50% ownership interest in Royal Jet LLC, with the other 50% owned by Presidential Flight Authority. Royal Jet LLC is accounted for as a subsidiary of the Group on the basis that the group is able to exert control over this entity as a result of majority Board representation and its reliance on the Company for technical support and operations.

(c) Classification of properties

In the process of classifying properties, management has made various judgements. Judgement is needed to determine whether a property qualifies as an investment property, property and equipment and/or asset held for sale. The Group develops criteria so that it can exercise that judgement consistently in accordance with the definitions of investment property, property and equipment and asset held for sale. In making its judgement, management considered the detailed criteria and related guidance for the classification of properties as set out in IAS 2, IAS 16, IAS 40 and IFRS 5, in particular, the intended usage of property as determined by management.

34

Abu Dhabi Aviation

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December

5 Use of estimates and judgements (continued)

(d) Allowance for impairment losses on trade receivables and contract assets

The Group recognises loss allowances for ECLs on trade receivables and contract assets. Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

When determining whether the credit risk of trade receivables and contract assets has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.

The Group assumes that the credit risk on trade receivables and contract assets has increased significantly based on significant judgement. Specific factors management considers include the age of balance, background of the customers, existence of disputes, recent historical payment patterns and any other available information concerning the creditworthiness of the counterparty. Management has estimated the recoverability of trade receivables balances and has considered the allowance required for impaired receivables. Allowance for impairment losses on trade receivables at 31 December 2018 is AED 52.4 million (2017: AED 45.5 million).

(e) Allowance for obsolete and slow moving inventories

Management has estimated the recoverability of inventory balances which relates to spare parts and rotables (finished goods) and has considered the allowance required for inventory obsolescence based on the current economic environment and past obsolescence history. Allowance for impairment of obsolete and slow-moving inventories as at 31 December 2018 is AED 29.3 million (2017: AED 34.1 million).

(f) Useful lives of property and equipment

The Group determines the estimated useful lives of its property and equipment for calculating depreciation. This estimate is determined after considering the expected usage of assets and physical wear and tear. Management reviews the residual value and useful lives annually and future depreciation charge is adjusted where management believes that the useful lives differ from the previous estimates.

(g) Impairment of property and equipment and capital work in progress

Properties classified under property and equipment and capital work in progress are assessed for impairment by comparing the carrying value to their estimated recoverable amount, being the higher of their estimated fair value less costs of disposal and value in use at individual CGU level. For the year ended 31 December 2018, Abu Dhabi Aviation has recorded an impairment loss on B412 EPI and fleet of B212 aircraft (separate CGUs) amounted to AED 16.1 million (2017: AED 59.4 million). Details of the impairment loss are set out in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.

(h) Fair value of investment properties

The fair value of investment properties is determined by independent real estate valuation experts using recognised valuation methods. Such estimations are based on certain assumptions, which are subject to uncertainty and might materially differ from the actual results.

35

Abu Dhabi Aviation

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December

5 Use of estimates and judgements (continued)

(i) Impairment of investment in joint venture

Management regularly reviews its investment in joint ventures for indicators of impairment. This determination of whether investment in joint ventures is impaired, entails management's evaluation of the investee's profitability, liquidity, solvency and ability to generate operating cash flows from the date of acquisition and into the foreseeable future. The difference between the estimated recoverable amount and the carrying value of investment is recognised as an expense in profit or loss. Management is satisfied that no impairment is required on its investment in joint ventures (Note 9).

(j) Measurement of fair values

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the chief financial officer.

The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.

Significant valuation issues are reported to the Group’s Audit Committee. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:  Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).  Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the relevant notes.

(k) Determination of fair values for sale and leaseback transaction

In order to determine the fair values of sale and leaseback transactions, management invites bids from willing buyers in an open market or an independent valuation. The bids are evaluated considering quantitative and qualitative factors including price offered by the willing buyers.

 As at 31 December 1992, certain helicopters and major rotables were fully depreciated. Consequently, during 1993, management revalued helicopters and major rotables to market value on the basis of industry quotations. The helicopter revaluations were based on the "Official Helicopter Blue Book" and a valuation report prepared by Nash Helicopter Associates Limited. The major rotables revaluations were based on original cost and valuations performed by Canadian Gas Turbines. The carrying value and accumulated depreciation were adjusted to reflect this revaluation. As at 31 December 2018, the net carrying value of the revalued helicopters and major rotables are AED 20.5 million (2017: AED 20.5 million).

 In 2011, the Group entered into a finance lease arrangement which resulted in the recognition of a residential complex at the present value of the related minimum lease payments amounting to AED 127 million (Note 21).

 During 2018, the Group carried out a review of the recoverable amount of aircraft, being the higher of fair value less cost to sell and value in use. The review led to the recognition of an impairment loss of AED 16.1 million, which has been recognised in statement of profit or loss.

 The Group has classified certain commercial aircraft and related components to assets classified as held for sale with a net carrying amount of AED 8.9 million.

 Certain property and equipment with a carrying amount of AED 1,143 million (2017: AED 1,247 million) are mortgaged to the lending banks.

 Property and equipment is operated from the Group's base in the UAE.

The deferred income relating to the aircraft was recognised at AED 489.1 million. Previously, these commercial aircraft were under operating lease.

During 2017, deferred income amortized amounts to AED 52.3 million and is recognised to profit or loss to match the costs for which they are intended to compensate on a systematic basis.

During the 3rd Quarter of year 2017, the Group sold and leased back an aircraft, which resulted in the deferral of the proceeds in excess of fair value of the aircraft of AED 9.6 million.

22 Deferred income (continued)

An aircraft received from the Presidential Flight Authority in 2014 was sold and leased back in 2017 as part of the same transaction. The aircraft’s carrying value, and the associated deferred income, at the time of this transaction was AED 107 million. The sales proceeds were AED 87.8 million, which were considered to be in excess of the fair value of the aircraft by AED 67.4 million, which have been deferred.

At the date of sale and lease back transaction carrying value for aircraft was AED 108.7 million while fair value was AED 67.4 million resulting in a loss of AED 41.3 million. While government grant of AED 107 million related to the aircraft was released resulting in a net gain of AED 66.47 million on the transaction.

24 Revenue from contracts with customers

The effect of initially applying IFRS 15 on the Group’s revenue from contracts with customers is described in Note 4. Due to the transition method chosen in applying IFRS 15, comparative information has not been restated to reflect the new requirements.

a) Revenue streams

The Group has been established to own helicopter and fixed wing aircraft for use both within and outside the United Arab Emirates and undertake charter, commercial, air cargo and other related services.

The Group generates revenue primarily from the aviation services. Other sources of revenue include training of pilots, rental income from investment properties and other management consultancy services.

b) Capital risk management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balances. The Group's overall strategy remains unchanged from 2013. The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes the term loans, cash and bank balances and equity comprising share capital, reserves and retained earnings.

The gearing ratio, determined as net debt to equity, at the year-end was as follows:

2018 2017 AED’000 AED’000

Debt (i) 851,517 891,524 Cash and deposits with bank (Note 13) (474,223) (503,154) ______Net debt 377,294 388,370 ______

Equity (ii) 2,877,293 2,746,952 ______Net debt to equity ratio 13% 14% ======

(i) Debt is defined as long, short term loans and bank overdraft (Note 20). (ii) Equity includes all capital and reserves of the equity owners of the Company.

c) Financial risk management

The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

 Credit risk  Liquidity risk  Market risk

(i) Risk management framework

The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework. The Board of Directors has established the Audit Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Group’s risk management policies. The committee reports regularly to the Board of Directors on its activities.

The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Group Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The Group Audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal Audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.

29 Financial instruments – Fair values and risk management (continued)

c) Financial risk management (continued)

(ii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers, bank balances and corporate debt securities.

The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties, however significant revenue is generated by dealing with entities related to oil operating companies and government related entities in the UAE, for whom the credit risk is assessed to be low. The Group attempts to control credit risk by monitoring credit exposures, limiting transactions with specific non-related counterparties, and continually assessing the creditworthiness of such non-related counterparties. Balances with banks are assessed to have low credit risk of default since these banks are highly regulated by the Central Bank.

Concentration of credit risk arises when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentration of credit risk indicates the relative sensitivity of the Group's performance to developments affecting a particular industry or geographic location. Trade receivables from oil operating companies and government related entities in the UAE is AED 30.80 million (2017: AED 56.15 million) and AED 271.8 million (2017: AED 316.2 million) which represents 5.2% (2017: 7.9%) and 45.9% (2017: 44.5%) respectively, of the total trade receivables at the end of reporting period. Included in the trade receivables balance at the end of the year is an amount of AED 49.6 million (2017: AED 25.9 million) due from related parties.

Expected credit loss assessment for customers as at 1 January and 31 December 2018

The Group allocates each exposure to a credit risk grade based on data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss and applying experienced credit judgement. Credit risk grades are defined using qualitative and quantitative factors that are indicative of the risk of default.

Exposures within each credit risk grade are segmented by geographic region and industry classification and an ECL rate is calculated for each segment based on delinquency status and actual credit loss experience over the past five years. These rates are multiplied by scalar factors to reflect differences between economic conditions during the period over which the historical data has been collected, current conditions and the Group’s view of economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables.

Scalar factors are based on GDP forecast and industry outlook.

As at 31 December 2018, maximum exposure to credit risk was as follows:

2018 2017 AED’000 AED’000

Trade receivables 539,613 454,877 Cash and deposits with bank 474,223 503,154 Investment in ADCB bonds 69,699 54,740 Investment in Waha CEEMEA Fixed Income Fund SP 18,416 - Other receivable balance 120,983 92,081 ______1,222,934 1,104,852 ======

(iii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The Group limits its liquidity risk by ensuring adequate cash from operations and bank facilities are available.

The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group's financial instruments. The contractual maturities of the financial instruments have been determined on the basis of the remaining period at the end of reporting period to the contractual maturity date. The maturity profile is monitored by management to ensure adequate liquidity is maintained. The maturity profile of the liabilities at the end of reporting period based on contractual repayment arrangements was as follows:

Effective interest Carrying Less than 3 months 1 year to More than rate value Total 3 months to 1 year 5 years 5 years AED’000 AED’000 AED’000 AED’000 AED’000 AED’000 2018 Non-interest bearing instruments 235,654 235,654 235,654 - - - Variable interest Note 20 rate instruments and 21 1,046,393 1,196,691 39,277 368,886 466,837 321,691 ------1,282,047 1,432,345 274,931 368,886 466,837 321,691 ======

(iv) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices, will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

Currency risk

The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Hence, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The Group’s exposure to the currency risk is principally from the Group’s transactions in Pound sterling (“GBP”) as AED is currently pegged to USD at a fixed rate of exchange.

Currency risk (continued)

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting date are as follows:

Pound sterling 186,760 132,314 2,133 611 ======

Equity price risk

The Group is exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments. The Group monitors the risk of change in equity prices by sensitivity analysis taking 15% change due to the volatile nature of the market in which the securities are listed.The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the reporting date.

If equity prices had been 15% higher/lower, the Group's other comprehensive income would increase/decrease as follows:

2018 2017 AED’000 AED’000

FVOCI Investments 10,455 8,211 ======FVTPL Investments 2,762 - ======Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk primarily arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect the net finance cost of the Group. The Group is exposed to fair value interest rate risk on bank borrowings at variable interest rates.

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower throughout the year and all other variables were held constant, the Group's net profit and equity for the year ended 31 December 2018 would decrease/increase by approximately AED 4.3 million (2017: AED 4.4 million).

The Group's sensitivity to interest rates has increased in line with the increase in interest bearing debt instruments.

30 Contingent liabilities

As at 31 December 2018, the Group had outstanding contingent liabilities in respect of letters of guarantee amounting to AED 87.6 million (2017: AED 55.1 million).

33 Segment information

Information regarding the Group's operating segments is set out below in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments. IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.

For operating purposes, the Group is organised into four major business segments:

(i) Helicopter and fixed wing operations, which provides charter flights and third party maintenance; (ii) Commercial aircraft operations, which provides commercial air transportation and aircraft management; (iii) Air cargo, which provides air cargo services to local and international customers using its fleet of aircraft and chartered aircraft; and (iv) Investments, which involves the management of the Group's investment portfolio.
