Directors' report

Year ended 31 December 2014

The directors present their report together with the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014.

Principal activities

The Company's principal activities are the development, operation and management of Malta International Airport. Malta International Airport plc has a 65 year concession to operate Malta's airport, a concession which commenced in July 2002. Malta International Airport plc has three 100% owned subsidiaries; Airport Parking Limited, Sky Parks Development Limited and Sky Parks Business Centre Limited. Airport Parking Limited operates all the car parks situated on the land leased to Malta International Airport plc and Sky Parks Development Limited and Sky Parks Business Centre Limited run the Sky Parks Business Centre building. subsidiaries; Kirkop PV Farm Limited, Luqa PV Farm Limited, Gudja PV Farm Limited, Gudja Two PV Farm Limited and Gudja Three PV Farm Limited with the intention to explore opportunities in the generation of electricity using photovoltaic technologies. However, none of the five subsidiaries set up for this purpose traded in 2014.

Malta International Airport plc also has a 10% shareholding interest in Valletta Cruise Port plc, a company set up to develop the Valletta Waterfront and operate a cruise liner terminal at the Grand Harbour.

Performance review

Traffic

Passenger traffic at Malta International Airport in 2014 continued to register a series of record months with passenger movements rising by 6.4% to reach 4.29 million. This performance was partially a result of an increase of 4.8% in seat capacity as well as the introduction of new routes or the increase in frequency of existing routes, by current carriers. Passenger growth was also a result of better utilisation of seat capacity. The overall seat load factor reached a record 79.7%, an increase of 1.2 percentage points over last year.

Aircraft movements reached 32,247 or 4.9% more than last year whilst cargo and mail handled throughout the year reached 15,547 tonnes or 3.1% less than the previous year.

Air Malta registered a 1.2% drop in passenger movements following an overall 1.9% decrease in seat capacity. The suspension of services to Tripoli and Benghazi as from July 2014 was one of the main reason for this decrease. The airline however, was able to partially recover traffic lost from this market by shifting seat capacity to a number of other routes. Second largest airline Ryanair achieved a similar performance to that of last year despite having dropped seat capacity following the termination of the Seville and Valencia routes.

Financial results

The revenue of the Group increased significantly in 2014 from €58.8 million in 2013 to €64.3 million an increase of €5.5 million or 9.4%. The Airport Segment increased by €3.4 million from €41.3 million to €44.7 million. The Retail and Property Segment also increased by €2.0 million from €17.1 million to €19.1 million.

Directors' report (continued)

Year ended 31 December 2014

Financial results (continued)

The increase in revenue was largely due to the increase in passenger traffic as well as to new rental income both from SkyParks Business Centre as well as from other areas within the airport perineter.

The Earnings before Interest, Taxation Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) of the Group increased by 13.2%; from €29.89 million to €33.84 million and the EBITDA margin increased from 50.8% to 52.6%. There was also an increase in profit before tax. Profit increased from €22.7 million to €26.1 million, an increase of 15.0%. The total comprehensive income for the year attributable to shareholders net of tax for the Group also increased from €14.5 to €16.8 million, an increase of 15.9% over the previous year.

The good financial results of the Group for 2014 match those of the previous year and were driven by another substantial increase in volume of traffic. At the same time, the Group maintained a strict watch on its cost base, mindful of the constant challenges the aviation industry faces worldwide and especially in Europe.

Revenues

Revenues from the airport segment constitute 69.4% of the total revenues of the Group (2013 70.2%). Aviation-related revenues remain the most important income stream of the Group albeit the dependency on this revenue has for the first time fallen below 70% of total revenue in line with the Group's strategy.

The revenues from the Retail and Property Segment increased by 11.8%. As mentioned earlier, this significant increase in revenue is mainly due to the rental income from SkyParks Business Centre as well as from the increase of passenger traffic resulting in retail sales. The revenues from Retail and Property Segment constitute 29.7% (2013 - 29.1%) of the total revenue of the Group.

Operating and other costs

The other operating costs of the Group were higher than those of 2013 by almost €1 million or 4.4%. In fact, Operating costs went up from €20.4 million to €21.3 million but the increase cannot be pinpointed to any particular area and is somewhat spread evenly throughout the entire of the Group.

As regards non-operating costs and revenues, there was a 17% increase in the depreciation charge for the year, from €5.6 million to €6.5 million but a decrease of 9.1% in finance costs, from €2.5 million to €2.3 million. As regards the depreciation cost, the increase is largely due to the further investment made in the airport infrastructure whilst the decrease in the finance costs are due to changes in the interest rate.

SkyParks Business Centre

The SkyParks Business Centre building which was completed in 2012 was fully rented out for almost the entire year 2014. The revenues generated by this building in 2014 were €2.6 million; this was higher than previously anticipated.

Directors' report (continued)

Year ended 31 December 2014

Outlook

Home carrier Air Malta is projected to maintain seat capacity at same levels deployed during 2014 and is expected to focus its schedule on routes to the main hubs. During 2015 we will also welcome four new airlines; Finnair will improve our connectivity to Scandinavia with the start of scheduled flights from Helsinki; Jet2.com operating five routes to Malta will continue to strengthen our core market, the United Kingdom; Swiss will operate flights from Zurich as from July whilst the Greek private airline Aegean will introduce flights from Athens. A number of airlines will also deploy additional seat capacity in 2015. Turkish Airlines shall increase its Istanbul schedule from seven to ten weekly flights as from March whilst NIKI shall add another weekly frequency on the Vienna route to operate four times a week as from April. Brussels Airlines which in 2014 operated flights only during the peak summer months will now be extending its twice weekly flight schedule to a full summer season.

Growth is also expected through the Cruise & Fly operation which shall commence in April, two months earlier when compared to 2014. Air Berlin who operates most of its summer programme on behalf of TUI, shall also introduce a second weekly flight from Stuttgart.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) recently announced an outlook for improved industry profitability in its Air Transport Industry report released in December. IATA is expecting airline profitability to improve after oil prices have fallen substantially in recent months and this is also expected to continue into 2015. IATA however warned that whilst the industry story is largely positive, there still are a number of risks in today's global environment and highlighted political unrest, conflicts and some weak regional economies. Global trade representative ACI (Airports Council International) was also very cautious with its projections for the coming year. In a statement released in Jamuary it warned that looking forward into 2015 two forces are at play working in opposite directions. On the one hand, the recent decrease in oil price is likely to contribute positively to the continued increases in passenger numbers. On the other hand, economic growth rates among certain emerging markets have diverged with Russia experiencing a recession, and the Euro area continuing to teeter towards a recession. Thus, a number of downside risks remain on the horizon in 2015.

Nevertheless our outlook for 2015 is still optimistic albeit mindful of the risk involved. We are therefore forecasting an increase in seat capacity whilst maintaining the same levels for seat load factor to achieve an overall 2.0% increase in traffic over 2014.

Directors' report (continued)

Year ended 31 December 2014

Financial result and dividends

The financial result of the Group and the Company for year ended 31 December 2014 are shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on page twenty. The total comprehensive income of the Group for the year after taxation amounted to € 16,760,770 (2013: €14,466,283).

The largest single customer of the Group, Air Malta plc, which is currently going through a restructuring process, accounts for €3.2 million (2013 - €1.0 million) of the Group's trade and other receivables at year end and 31.0% (2013 - 34.5%) of the Group's revenue.

The maximum exposure to this customer during a period of increased trading, in particular in the summer months at normal credit terms, is expected to be in the region of €3.6 million (2013 - €4.4 million). The Board feels confident that the Group's and the Company's exposure to Air Malta plc will not jeopardize in any way the Group's ability to continue operations for the foreseeable future and that Air Malta plc will meet its obligations.

Corporate Governance - Statement of Compliance

1. Introduction

Pursuant to the Listing Rules issued by the Listing Authority, Malta International Airport p.l.c. (the "Company") should endeavour to adopt the Code of Principles of Good Corporate Governance contained in Appendix 5.1 to Chapter 5 of the Listing Rules (the "Code"). In terms of Listing Rule 5.94, the Company hereby reports on the extent of its adoption of the principles of the Code for the financial year being reported upon.

The Company acknowledges that the Code does not dictate or prescribe mandatory rules, but recommends principles of good practice. However, the directors strongly believe that such practices are generally in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and that compliance with the principles of good corporate governance is not only expected by investors but also evidences the directors' and the Company's commitment to a high standard of governance.

The Board of Directors (the "Board") has carried out a review of the Company's compliance with the Code for the financial year being reported upon, namely the year ended 31 December 2014.

2. General

The directors believe that good corporate governance is a function of a mix of checks and balances that best suit the Company and its business. Accordingly, whilst there are best practices that can be of general application the structures that may be required within the context of larger companies are not necessarily and objectively the best structures for companies whose size and/or business dictate otherwise. It is in this context that the directors have adopted a corporate governance framework within the Company that is designed to better suit the Company, its business and its size whilst still ensuring proper checks and balances.

The Company has a corporate decision-making and supervisory structure that is tailored to suit the Company's requirements and designed to ensure the existence of adequate checks and balances within the Company, whilst retaining an element of flexibility.

In general the directors believe that the Company has adopted appropriate structures to achieve an adequate level of good corporate governance, together with an adequate system of checks and balances in line with the Company's requirements.

This corporate governance statement") will now set out the structures and processes in place within the Company and how these effectively achieve the goals set out in the Code. For this purpose, this Statement will make reference to the pertinent principles of the Code and then set out the manners in which the directors believe that these have been adhered to. Where the Company has not complied with any of the principles of the Code, this Statement will give an explanation for noncompliance.

For the avoidance of doubt, reference in this Statement to compliance with the principles of the Code means compliance with the Code's main principles, and the Code Provisions.

3. Compliance with the code

Principles One to Five

These principles deal fundamentally with the role of the Board and of the directors.

Corporate Governance - Statement of Compliance (continued)

Principle One

The directors believe that for the period under review the Company has generally complied with the requirements of this principle and the relative code provisions.

The Board has throughout the period under review provided the necessary leadership in the overall direction of the Company and has adopted systems whereby it obtains timely information from the Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO") as the head of the Executive Committee to ensure an open dialogue between the CEO and directors at regular intervals and not only at meetings of the Board. The Company has a structure that ensures a mix of executive and Non-Executive Directors that enables the Board, and particularly the Non-Executive Directors to have direct information about the Company's performance from the head of executive management that is also a director on the Board.

Principle Two

In line with the requirements of Principle Two, the Company has segregated the functions of the CEO and the Chairman. Whilst the CEO heads the Executive Committee, the Chairman's main function is to lead the Board, a function which the Board believes has been conducted in compliance with the dictates of Code Provision 2,2.

The CEO is accountable to the Board of the Company for all business operations. He has the power and authority to appoint the persons to fill in the post of each member of the Executive Committee. He also has the discretion to ask any one or more of such members, from time to time, to address the Board on matters relating to the operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Board, of course, is entitled to call in, at its discretion, any one or more of the executives of the Company.

Principle Three

The full complement of the Board, in line with Principle Three is of five (5) Non-Executive Directors and three (3) Executive Directors, a balance that is entrenched in the Company's Memorandum and Articles, which requires that the CEO is an ex ufficio director together with a maximum of two other senior executives of the Company. The presence of top executives on the Board is designed to ensure that all the members of the Board, including Non-Executive Directors, have direct access at meetings of directors to the individuals having the prime responsibility for day operations and executive management of the Company and to the implementation of policies that allow effective discussion and the availability of all the information necessary to carry out their functions in the best possible manner.

The members of the Board for the year under review were:

Mr Nikolaus Gretzmacher (Chairman);

Mr Michael Hoeferer (ceased to be a director of the Company on 22 May 2014);

Mr Youssef Sabeh (Non-Executive Director);

Mr Michael Bianchi (Non-Executive Director); (ceased to be a director of the Company on 24 June 2014);

Mr Alfred Quintano (Non-Executive Director);

Mr Karl Dandler (Non-Executive Director) (appointed as a director of the Company on the 22 May 2014) and

Mr Markus Klaushofer (CEO and Executive Director);

Mr Austin Calleja (CFO and Executive Director);

Mr Alan Borg (CCO and Executive Director)

Corporate Governance - Statement of Compliance (continued)

Pursuant to generally accepted practices, as well as the Company's Articles of Association, the appointment of directors to the Board is reserved exclusively to the Company's shareholders, except in so far as an appointment is made to fill a vacancy on the Board.

The Board normally meets every eight (8) weeks and as a matter of Board policy, a guideline was established whereby at its first meetings will be scheduled for the full year. Board meetings concentrate mainly on strategy, operational performance and financial performance. The Board also delegates specific responsibilities to the CEO and the Committees, notably the Executive Committee and the Audit Committee which operate under their respective formal terms of reference. Directors may, in the furtherance of their duties, take independent professional advice at the Company's expense.

For the purposes of Code Provision 3.2, requiring the Board to report on whether it considers each Non-Executive Director as independent in line with the requirements of that Code Provision, the Board considers each of the Non-Executive Directors as independent within the meaning of the Code.

Save for what is stated hereunder, none of the Non-Executive Directors:

• (a) are or have been employed in any capacity by the Company;
• (b) has or has had a significant direct or indirect relationship with the Company
• (c) receive significant additional remuneration from the Company;
• (d) have close family ties with any of the executive members of the Board;
• (e) has served on the Board for more than twelve consecutive years;
• (f) have been within the last three years an engagement partner or a member of the audit team of the present or past external auditor of the Company or any Company forming part of the same group; and
• have a significant business relationship with the Company. (g)

Mr Nikolaus Gretzmacher, Mr Karl Dandler and Mr Youssef Sabeh (Non-Executive Directors) are currently members of the Board of Directors of Malta Mediterranean Link Consortium Limited, a Company holding more than 40 per cent of the issued and voting capital of the Company. Notwithstanding the above relationship the Board still considers Mr Gretzmacher, Mr Dandler and Mr Sabeh, as having the required skills, experience and integrity to retain their independence and impartiality in acting as directors of the Company.

Principle Four

In terms of Principle Four it is the Board's responsibility to ensure a system of accountability, monitoring, strategy formulation and policy development. Whilst these are matters which are reserved for the Board to determine within the Group, the Board believes that this responsibility includes the appropriate delegation of powers to management and the organization of the executive team in a manner that is designed to provide high levels of comfort to the directors that there is proper monitoring and accountability apart from appropriate implementation of policy. The Board's link to the Executive Committee is principally the CEO, together with the other two Executive Directors on the Board, both of whom are member of the Executive Committee.

The Executive Committee comprises both the Executive Directors and the heads of each business unit of the Group. The role of the Executive Committee is that of policy execution, business development, finance, security, administrative and personnel matters. It also makes recommendations to the Board on matters which are beyond its remit. The Chief Executive Officer chairs the Executive Committee.

The members of the Committee for the period under review were:

Mr Markus Klaushofer - Chief Executive Officer Mr Austin Calleja - Chief Financial Officer Mr Alan Borg - Chief Commercial Officer Mr Patrick Cuschieri - Security Major Martin Dalmas - Airport Operations Mr George Mallia - Retail and Property Mr Ian Maggi - Innovation, ICT and Procurement Ms Vicki Brown - Projects Ms Christine Camilleri – Human Resources Mr Michael Lombardi - Technical Facilities

Company Executives participate in periodic strategic reviews, which include consideration of longterm projections and the evaluation of business alternatives. Regular budgets and strategic plans are prepared, which are incorporated into a Company strategic plan. Performance against these plans is actively monitored and reported to the Board.

In view of the number of members of the Board, the directors believe that its size is manageable to be able to address most issues as a Board rather than create sub-committees of the Board that may be more suitable in the case of companies having larger Boards. Indeed the Board feels that its size and membership allows directors the opportunity to discuss matters directly and that this is a more effective and efficient manner to conduct its business. The directors however are aware that there may be situations that require the delegation to certain committees of certain tasks or assignments and the Board has on occasion composed ad hoc committees for this purpose.

In ensuring compliance with other statutory requirements and with continuing listing obligations, the Board is advised directly, as appropriate, by its appointed broker, legal advisor and external auditors.

Directors are entitled to seek independent professional advice at any ime on any aspect of their duties and responsibilities, at the Company's expense.

During the financial year under review, the Board held six meetings.

Principle Five

The Board believes that it complies fully with the requirements of this principle and the relative Code Provisions, in that it has systems in place to ensure the reasonable notice of meetings of the Board and the circulation of discussion papers in advance of meetings so as to provide adequate time for directors to prepare themselves for such meetings.

Principle Six

Principle Six of the Code deals with information and professional development

The CEO is appointed by the directors and enjoys the full confidence of the Board. The CEO, although responsible for the selection of the Executive Committee and the recruitment of senior executives, consults with the directors on the appointment of senior executives. The Board is satisfied that the current schemes for executive compensation are designed to render the Company an attractive proposition for the retention of top executives within the Company and to motivate the Executive Committee.

Corporate Governance - Statement of Compliance (continued)

The Board intends to organise professional development sessions for directors and executives designed specifically to enable them to discharge their functions more efficiently and in line with the high standards expected of them. Directors have access to the advice and services of the Company Secretary who is also the legal counsel to the Board and the Company.

Principle Seven

Principle Seven of the Code deals with an evaluation of the Board's performance

The Board has not appointed a committee for the purpose of undertaking an evaluation of the Board's performance in accordance with the requirements of Code Provision 7.1.

Principle Eight

Principle Eight A of the Code deals with the establishment of a remuneration committee for the Company aimed at developing policies on executive remuneration

The Company has no performance related remuneration payable to its Non-Executive Directors and accordingly, as allowed by Code Provision 8A.2, it has not appointed a Remuneration Committee, but rather establishes itself the remuneration policies of the Company. In so far as senior executives are concerned it is the Non-Executive members of the Board itself that establish the policies and decides on the performance related remuneration of senior executives and its Executive Directors.

The Board notes that the organizational set-up of the Company and the size of the Board itself, together with the fact that Non-Executive Directors are not entitled to performance related remuneration, does not, in the opinion of the directors, warrant the establishment of a Remuneration Committee. Remuneration policies have therefore been retained within the remit of the Board itself, and as already stated in the case of the Executive Directors, it is the Non-Executive members of the Board that decide on their performance related remuneration.

The directors believe that certain committees that are suggested in the Code are either not required by the Company or the functions of a number of committees may efficiently be merged or undertaken by the Board itself. In addition, the Board believes that its size and composition is sufficient for the proper direction and management of the Company and its business and that there would be no value added to the Company and its shareholders to increase the number of Board members simply to be able to have separate committees of the Board - when the same functions can properly be undertaken by the Board itself. The directors will retain the need of such committees under review and as in the past, may appoint ad hoc committees of directors to deal with specific issues as and when these arise.

The aggregate amount of remuneration paid to all directors, including salaries paid to the CEO, CFO and CCO amount to €665,132. For the purposes of the provisions of article 63 of the Company's articles of association, the aggregate emoluments paid to the directors is €403,112 which is within the amount approved by the shareholders of €465,875 for the purpose of that article.

Principle Eight B - This principle deals with the requirement of a formal and transparent procedure for the appointment of directors.

The Board believes that the main principle has been duly complied with, in that it is the Articles of Association themselves that establish a formal and transparent procedure for the appointment of directors. The Articles however do not contemplate the existence of a Nominations Committee as suggested by the Code.

Corporate Governance - Statement of Compliance (continued)

Principles Nine and Ten

Principles Nine and Ten of the Code deal with relations with shareholders and with the market, and institutional shareholders

The Board is of the view that over the period under review the Company has communicated effectively with the market through a number of Company announcements that it published informing the market of significant events happening within the Company.

The Company also communicates with its shareholders through the Annual General Meeting where the Board communicates directly with shareholders on the performance of the Company over the last financial vear and to inform shareholders of the challenges that lie ahead.

Business at the Company's Annual General Meeting (AGM) will cover the approval of the annual report and the audited financial statements, the declaration of a dividend, if any, the election of directors, the determination of the maximum aggregate emoluments that may be paid to directors, the appointment of auditors and the authorisation of the directors to set the auditors' remuneration. Any other matter that may be placed by the directors before the Annual General Meeting will be dealt with as 'special business'.

Apart from the AGM, the Company has continued to communicate with its shareholders and the market by way of the Annual Report and Financial Statements, by publishing its results on a sixmonthly basis during the year and through the directors' statements which are also published on a sixmonthly basis, and by Company announcements to the market in general. The Company recognises the importance of maintaining a dialogue with the market to ensure that its strategies and performance are well understood. The Company's website (www.maltairport.com) also contains information about the Company and its business which is a source of further information to the market.

Principle Eleven

Principle Eleven deals with conflicts of interest and the principle that directors should always act in the best interests of the Company.

The Board has established procedures on how conflicts are to be handled, if and when they arise. A director having a personal conflict on any matter is bound to inform the other members of the Board of such a conflict whether it is an actual, potential or a perceived conflict. It is then the other members of the Board that would decide on whether there exists such a conflict, actual or potential. By virtue of the Memorandum and Articles, in the event that, in the Board such a conflict exists then the conflicted director is invited to leave the meeting when it proceeds to the vote, if any, on the matter concerned. As a matter of practice discussions of such matters are normally conducted in the absence of the conflicted director. The Board feels that this is a procedure that achieves compliance with both the letter and the rationale of principle eleven.

Commercial relationships between the Company and other companies are related by way of common directors and shareholders ("Related Party Transactions"). Contracts are entered into in the ordinary course of business with shareholders and other parties in which the directors have a beneficial interest. Terms and conditions of contracts negotiated with related parties are reviewed by the Company's Audit Committee. Full disclosure of Related Party Transactions entered into during the financial year under review is made in note 33 to the financial statements.

The following directors have declared their interests in the share capital of the Company:

Director
Nikolaus Gretzmacher	a non-beneficial interest
Karl Dandler	a non-beneficial interest2
Youssef Saheh	a non-beneficial interest3
Austin Calleja	a beneficial interest
Michael Bianchi	an indirect beneficial interest

No other director has a beneficial or non-beneficial interest in the Company's share capital.

Principle Twelve

Principle Twelve encourages directors of listed companies to accepted principles of corporate social responsibility.

The directors are committed to high standards of ethical conduct and to contribute to the development of the well-being of employees and their families as well as the local community and society at large.

4. Non-Compliance with Code provisions

The directors set out below the code provisions with which they do not comply and a careful explanation as to the reasons for such non-compliance:

Code Provision

Explanation

• 2.1 Whilst the Company has segregated the functions of the Chairman and the CEO, in that the two posts are occupied by different persons, the division of responsibilities between them has not been established in writing, although there is significant experience and practice that determines the two roles.
• For the purposes of Code Provision 4.3, whilst the Board reports that 4.3 for the year under review it has not organised any information sessions as set out in that provision, during its meetings the Board regularly discusses the Company's operations and prospects, the skills and competence of senior management, the general business environment and the Board's expectations.
• 7.1 The Board believes that the size of the Company and the Board itself does not warrant the proliferation of several committees. Whilst the requirement under Code Provision 7.1 might be useful in the context of larger companies having a more complex set-up and a larger Board, the size of the Board is such that it should enable it to evaluate its own performance without the requirement of setting up an ad hoc committee for this purpose. The Board shall retain this matter under review over the coming year.

¹ These shares are held by MMLC, a company of which Mr Gretzmacher is a director

² These shares are held by MMLC, a company of which Mr Dandler is a director

³ These shares are held by MMLC, a company of which Mr Sabeh is a director

Explanation Code Provision Having conducted an informal review of its own performance over the period under review it is the Board's view that all members of the Board, individually and collectively, have contributed in line with the required levels of diligence and skill. In addition the Board believes that its current composition endows the Board with a cross-section of skills and experience, not only with respect to the specific business of the Company, but also in a wider range of business areas and skills. The Board has not appointed a Nominations Committee in line with 8B Code Provision 8B, particularly in the light of the specific manner in which the Articles of Association require that Non-Executive Directors be appointed by a shareholding qualification to the Board. The Executive Directors are, in accordance with the Articles, appointed by the Non-Executive Directors after their appointment as aforesaid. The Board believes that the current Articles of Association do not allow the Board itself to make any recommendations to the shareholders for appointments of directors and that if this function were to be undertaken by the Board itself or a Nominations Committee, they would only be able to make a non-binding recommendation to the shareholders having the necessary qualification to appoint directors pursuant to the Articles of Association. The Board intends to keep under review the utility and possible advantages of having a Nominations Committee and following an evaluation may, if the need arises, make recommendations to the shareholders for a change to the Articles of Association. The memorandum and Articles of Association does not provide any 9.3 mechanism for the resolution of conflicts between shareholders or any process that would trigger arbitration in these instances.

THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

As part of its corporate governance structures the Company has an Audit Committee in line with the requirements of the Listing Rules. Unlike the provisions of the Code which are not mandatory in nature, the directors acknowledge that the requirement of having an Audit Committee in place is an obligation under the Listing Rules. The principal role of the Audit Committee is the monitoring of internal systems and controls. During the course of the period under review the Board established the Audit Committee under formal terms of reference designed both to strengthen this function within the Company and to establish the scope of the duties and responsibilities of this Committee. The Committee consists of the three (3) Non-Executive Directors, namely Mr Nikolaus Gretzmacher (Chairman), Mr Youssef Sabeh (Member), Mr Alfred Quintano (Member). The Committee has the power and authority under its terms of reference to summon any person to assist it in the performance of its duties. The directors believe that Mr Nikolaus Gretzmacher is independent in accounting and/or auditing in terms of Listing Rule 5.117. The directors believe that Mr Nikolaus Gretzmacher satisfies the independence criteria as he is independent within the meaning of the Code as explained above in this Statement.

When the Audit Committee's monitoring and review activities reveal cause for concern or scope for improvement, it shall make recommendations to the Board on the action needed to address the issue or make improvements.

In the period under review the Audit Committee has held six meetings.

Internal Control 5.

The Board is ultimately responsible for the Company's system of internal controls and for reviewing its effectiveness. Such a system is designed to manage rather than eliminate risk to achieve business objectives, and can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance against normal business risks or loss.

Through the Audit Committee, the Board reviews the effectiveness of the Company's system of internal controls, which are monitored by the Internal Auditors on a regular basis.

The key features of the Company's system of internal control are as follows:

Organisation

The Company operates through the CEO and Executive Committee with clear reporting lines and delegation of powers.

Control Environment

The Company is committed to the highest standards of business conduct and seeks to maintain these standards across all of its operations. Company policies and employee procedures are in place for the reporting and resolution of improper activities.

The Company has an appropriate organisational structure for planning, executing, controlling and monitoring business operations in order to achieve Company objectives.

Risk Identification

Company management is responsible for the identification and evaluation of key risks applicable to their respective areas of business. In addition, through regular checks the internal auditors test the Company's internal control systems and processes and make recommendations to management and the audit committee on any deficiency in such systems.

6. General Meetings

The general meeting is the highest decision making body of the Company and is regulated by the Company's Articles of Association. All shareholders register of members of the Company on a particular record date are entitled to attend and vote at general meetings. A general meeting is called by twenty-one (21) days' notice.

At an Annual General Meeting what is termed as "ordinary business" is transacted, namely, the declaration of a dividend, the consideration of the accounts, balance sheets and the reports of the directors and the auditors, the election of directors, the appointment of auditors and the fixing of remuneration of directors and auditors. Other business which may be transacted at a general meeting (including at the Annual General Meeting) will be dealt with as "Special Business".

Corporate Governance - Statement of Compliance (continued)

Voting at any general meeting takes place by a show of hands or a poll where this is demanded. Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, on a show of hands each shareholder is entitled to one vote and on a poll each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share carrying voting rights of which he is a holders who cannot participate in the general meeting may appoint a proxy by written or electronic notification to the Company. Appointed proxy holders enjoy the same rights to participate in the general meeting as those to which the shareholder they represent is entitled. Every shareholder represented in person or by proxy is entitled to ask questions which are pertinent and related to the items on the agenda of the general meeting and to have such questions answered by the directors or such persons as the directors may delegate for such purpose.

The directors' statement of responsibilities for preparing the financial statements is set out on page 8.

Notes to the financial statements

31 December 2014

CORPORATE INFORMATION 1.

The Company is a public company incorporated and domiciled in Malta whose shares are publicly listed and traded on the Malta Stock Exchange. The principal activities of the Company are the development, operation and management of Malta's airport. On 11 February 2008, the Company set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, Sky Parks Limited, to take over the operations of the car park business. The name of this subsidiary was changed to Airport Parking Limited on the 27 October 2009. Another subsidiary, Sky Parks Development Limited, was set up by the Company on 29 October 2009. The main activity of Sky Parks Development Limited is to manage real estate projects within the land which is currently under the management of the Group. Another subsidiary Sky Parks Business Centre Limited was set up by the Company on 26 April 2012. The principal activity of the subsidiary is to operate the Business Centre within the limits of the airport. On 20 June 2013, the Company set up three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kirkop PV Farm Limited, Luqa PV Farm Limited and Gudja PV Farm Limited. On 20 September 2013, the Company set up two other wholly-owned subsidiaries, Gudja Two PV Farm Limited and Gudja Three PV Farm Limited. The main activity of these companies is to explore opportunities in the generation of electricity using photovoltaic technologies. The Company and the subsidiaries constitute "the Group'.

BASIS OF PREPARATION 2.1

Under the Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta, the Company is required to present individual and consolidated financial statements. The financial statements of the Group and the Company have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the fair valuation of the available-for-sale financial assets, and are in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, and comply with the Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta. The functional currency of the Company is the Euro which is also the presentation currency of the Group. The significant accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Malta International Airport p.1.c. and its Subsidiaries, as mentioned in note 1 above.

The financial statements of the Subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies.

All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intragroup transactions and dividends are eliminated in full.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control or from the date of set-up under the control of the Company, and continue to be consolidated until the date such control ceases.

2.2 INITIAL APPLICATION OF AN INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARD

In the current year, the Company and the Group have applied the following:

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities and the revised IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements, applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 (with earlier application permitted) for entities applying International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. IFRS 10 replaces the parts of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that deal with consolidated financial statements and SIC-12. IFRS 10 changes the definition of control. IFRS 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and i or unconsolidated structured entities. The application of IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and the revised IAS 27 did not result in any significant impact on the Company's and the Group's financial statements.

Notes to the financial statements

31 December 2014

2.3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Property, plant and equipment

The Group's and the Company's property, plant and equipment are classified into the following classes land held as temporary emphyteusis, buildings and furniture, fixtures, plant and equipment.

Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost. Such cost includes borrowing costs for longterm construction projects, if the recognition criteria are met. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group or the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Expenditure on repairs and maintenance of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an expense when incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, buildings are stated at revalued amounts as at the date of the privatisation of the Company in 2002 less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Other tangible assets are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Every year, the difference between depreciation of buildings based on their fair value on the date of the privatisation of the Company in 2002 and depreciation based on the asset's original cost prior to the original revaluation is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings. When the asset is derecognised, the attributable revaluation surplus remaining in the revaluation reserve is transferred to retained earnings. Property, plant and equipment are derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from their use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition represent the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount. Any gains or losses arising on derecognition are included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

Land held on temporary emphyteusis relates to the land assigned to the Group and the Company by title of temporary emphyteusis. The value of the land held on temporary emphyteusis is amortised over the remaining term of the lease.

Depreciation

Depreciation commences when the depreciable assets are available for use and is charged to profit or loss, so as to write off the cost less any estimated residual value, over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method, on the following bases:

Land held on temporary emphyteus1s	by equal annual instalments
	over the remaining
	term of the emphyteusis
Buildings	2% - 4-5% per annum
Furniture, fixtures, plant and equipment	10% - 33 1/3% per annum
Investment property	5% - 15% per annum

The depreciation method applied, the residual value and the useful life are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Properties in the course of construction

Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are classified as property, plant and equipment and are carried at cost, less any identified impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Company's accounting policy on borrowing costs. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are available for use.

Properties in the course of construction for future use as investment property are classified as investment property. Existing investment property that is being redeveloped for continued future use as investment property continues to be classified as investment property.

31 December 2014

2.3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Investment property

Investment property is property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Investment property is recognised as an asset when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are associated with the investment property will flow to the entity and the cost can be measured reliably. Investment property is initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Investment property is derecognised on disposal or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. Gains or losses on derecognition represent the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss in the period of derecognition.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs include the costs incurred in obtaining external financing and mainly consist of interest on bank loans. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or a qualifying asset, which is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

Investments in subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Company. The Company controls an investee when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Investment in subsidiaries in the separate financial statements of the Company are accounted for on the basis of the direct equity interest and are stated at cost less any provisions for impairment, where in the opinion of the directors, any impairment in value has taken place. Dividends from the investment are recognised in profit or loss.

Other financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group entities become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised at their fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs for all financial liabilities not classified at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the Statement of Financial Position when the Group entities have a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and intend either to settle on a net basis or to realise the liability simultaneously.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or when the entity transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition. Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are extinguished. This occurs when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Trade and other receivables (i)

Trade and other receivables are classified with current assets and are stated at their nominal value unless the effect of discounting is material. Appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired.

Notes to the financial statements

31 December 2014

2.3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Other financial instruments (continued)

(ii)

Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are either designated in this category by the Group and the Company or not classified as loans and receivables, held-tomaturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at their fair value except for investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted price in an active market for an identical instrument (that is, a Level 1 input) and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, which are measured at cost. Where applicable gains and losses arising from a change in fair value are recognised directly in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, until the financial asset is derecognised, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.

Loans and receivables (iii)

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market other than those that are held for trading or are designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss or as available-for-sale financial assets or those for which the company may not recover substantially all of its initial investment other than because of credit deterioration. After initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(iv) Bank and other borrowings

Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing bank loans are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Bank loans are carried at face value due to their market rate of interest. Other borrowings are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, unless the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Trade payables (v)

Trade payables are classified with current liabilities and are stated at their nominal value unless the effect of discounting is material.

Cash and short term deposits (vi)

Cash and short term deposits comprise cash on hand, demand deposit and short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and short term deposits are stated at nominal amounts, being the amount recognised at inception.

(vii) Shares issued by the Company

Ordinary shares issued by the Company are classified as equity instruments.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method and comprises expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion.

31 December 2014

2.3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impairment

At each reporting date, the carrying amount of assets is reviewed to determine whether there is any indication or objective evidence of impairment, as appropriate, and if any such indication or objective evidence exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated.

In the case of receivables, evidence of impairment may include indications that the receivables or a group of receivables is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in economic conditions that correlate with defaults. An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

In addition to the above loss events, objective evidence of impairment for an investment in an equity instrument includes information about significant changes which indicate that the cost of the investment in the equity instrument may not be recovered.

For receivables, if there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount is reduced directly.

The impairment loss on investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted price in an active market for an identical instrument (that is, a Level 1 input) and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.

When a decline in the fair value of an available for sale asset has been recognised directly in other comprehensive income and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative impairment loss that had been directly recognised through other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment and is measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss.

In the case of other assets tested for impairment, the recoverable amount is the higher of fair value (which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date) less costs of disposal and value-in-use (which is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived, discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset). Where the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount, as calculated.

Impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the impairment loss is recognised directly against the asset's revaluation surplus to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that asset.

An impairment loss recognised in a prior year on assets other than equity instruments carried at cost because fair value cannot be reliably measured if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so 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 in prior years.

Impairment reversals are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the impairment reversal is recognised directly in other comprehensive income, unless an impairment loss on the same asset was previously recognised in profit or loss.

Notes to the financial statements

31 December 2014

2.3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impairment (continued)

Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss for an available for sale investment in an equity instrument are not reversed through profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss for an available-forsale investment in a debt instrument are reversed through profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of the instrument can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss

The impairment loss on investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted price in an active market for an identical instrument (that is, a Level 1 input) and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured is not reversed in a subsequent year.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable for services provided in the normal course of business, net of value-added tax and discounts, where applicable. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group and the Company and these can be measured reliably. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

(i) Rendering of services

Revenue from the provision of services is recognised in the year in which the services are rendered, by reference to completion of the specific transaction assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided. For practical purposes, when services are performed by an indeterminate number of acts over a specified period of time, revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the specified period unless there is evidence that some other method better represents the stage of completion.

(ii) Interest income

Interest income is recognised on an accruals basis using the effective interest income is included in finance income in the profit or loss.

(üü) Grants

Grants are recognised in profit or loss when there is reasonable assurance that all the conditions attached to them are complied with and the grants will be received. Grants related to income are recognised in the profit or loss over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate on a systematic basis. Such grants are presented as part of profit or loss. Grants related to assets are presented in the Statement of Financial Position as deferred income, which is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.

Deferred income

Deferred income arising from the gain on disposal of the buildings and fixtures that took place on the date of the privatisation of the Company in 2002 is transferred separately to the income statement in equal annual instalments over the remaining life of the underlying assets.

Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the lesse. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Lease classification is made at the inception of the lease, which is the earlier of the lease agreement and the date of commitment by the parties to the principal provisions of the lease.

31 December 2014

2.3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Leases (continued)

Where the Company is a lessee, rentals payable under operating leases less the aggregate benefit of incentives received from the lessor, are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless another systematic basis is more representative of the users henefit.

Where the Company is a lessor, rentals receivable under operating leases are recognised as income in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which use benefit derived from the leased asset is diminished.

Taxation

Current and deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly in other comprehensive income or directly in which case the current and deferred tax is also dealt with in other comprehensive income or equity as appropriate.

The charge for current tax is based on the taxable result for the year. The taxable result for the year differs from the result as reported in profit or loss because it excludes items which are non-taxable or disallowed for tax purposes and it further excludes items that are taxable or deductible in other periods. The tax charge is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets (including deferred tax assets for the carry forward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits) are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences (or the unused tax losses and unused tax credits) can be utilised. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to taxation authorities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the Group and the Company have a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes are levied by the same taxation authority on either (i) the same taxable entity; or (ii) different taxable entities which satisfy certain criteria.

Employee benefits

Employee benefits include short term benefits and post-employment benefits.

The Group and the Company contribute towards the state pension fund in accordance with local legislation. The only obligation of the Group and the Company is to make the required contribution. Costs are expensed in the year in which they are incurred.

Retirement plans

For defined benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with estimations being carried out at each reporting date. Past service cost is recognised as an expense at the earlier of the following dates (a) when the plan amendment or curtailment occurs and (b) when the entity recognises related restructuring costs or termination benefits. The amount recognised in the Statement of Financial Position represents the present value of the expected future payments required to settle the obligation resulting from employee service in the current and prior periods. The service cost and the net interest on the net defined benefit liability are recognised in profit or loss. Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, comprising actuarial gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income and are not reclassified to profit or loss in a subsequent period. Such remeasurements are reflected immediately in retained earnings.

Notes to the financial statements

31 December 2014

2.3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Retirement plans (continued)

Actuarial gains and losses are changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from experience adjustments and the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions. Actuarial assumptions are an entity's best estimates of the variables that will determine the ultimate cost of providing post-employment benefits. Due to the nature of the actuarial assumptions, in accordance with the provisions of IAS 19, the Company did not involve a qualified actuary in the measurement of its post-employment benefit obligations.

Currency translation

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated at the exchange rates ruling on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are retranslated to the functional currency at the spot rate of exchange ruling at the date of the Statement of Financial Position. All differences are taken to the income statement. Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a currency other than the functional currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a currency other than the functional currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined.

Dividends

Dividends to holders of equity instruments are recognised as liabilities in the year in which they are declared.

FAIR VALUE 2.4

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

For financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

• Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determines when transfers are deemed to have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy at the end of each reporting period.

3. JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Except as discussed below and in the remaining notes to the financial statements, the directors did not make any significant judgments in the process of applying the Company's and the Group's accounting policies which can significantly affect the amounts recognised in the consolidated and the separate financial statements and, at the end of the reporting period, there were no key assumptions concerning the future, or any other key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

31 December 2014

3. JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (continued)

IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements was endorsed by the EU for financial years beginning after 29 March 2009. The Interpretation, which is limited in scope, clarifies the accounting of service concession arrangements by private sector operators which provide public services on behalf of government or other public sector entities. The Interpretation states that for arrangements falling within its scope, the infrastructure assets are not recognised as property, plant and equipment of the operator. Rather, depending on the terms of the arrangement, the operator will recognise:

• (i) a financial asset (where the operator has an unconditional right to receive a specified amount of cash or other financial asset over the life of the arrangement); or
• (ii) an intangible asset (where the operator's future cash flows are not specified, for example, where they will vary according to usage of the infrastructure asset); or
• (iii) both a financial asset and an intangible asset where the operator's return is provided partially by a financial asset and partially by an intangible asset.

The Company and the Group's business activities and operations are governed under a 65 year concession which was granted by the Government in July 2002. The directors have conducted a detailed analysis to determine the applicability of IFRIC 12 and concluded that IFRIC 12 does not apply in its entirety to the Company and its Group. Based on the Company's and the Group's proportion of regulated and unregulated activities, the directors have determined that the extent of unregulated business activities cannot be deemed as insignificant.

4. INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS IN ISSUE BUT NOT YET BREECHTVR

At the date of the approval of these financial statements, a number of International Reporting Standards were either not yet endorsed by the EU or were not yet applicable to the Group and the Company.

IFRS 9- Financial Instruments

The final version of IFRS 9 brings together the classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting phases of the IASB's project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The Standard supersedes all previous versions of IFRS 9 introduces a logical approach for the classification of financial assets, which is driven by cash flow characteristics and the business model in which an asset is held. This single, principle-based approach replaces existing rule based requirements that are generally considered to be overly complex and difficult to apply. The new model also results in a single, forward-looking 'expected loss' impairment model that will require more timely recognition of expected credit losses. IFRS 9 introduces a substantially-reformed model for hedge accounting, with enhanced disclosures about risk management activity. IFRS 9 also removes the volatility in profit or loss that was caused by changes in the credit risk of liabilities elected to be measured at fair value. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The Standard has not as yet been endorsed by the European Union.

IAS 27 Amendment - Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements

The amendments to IAS 27 will allow entities to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements. The Amendment is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after | January 2016. The Amendment has not as yet been endorsed by the European Union.

Notes to the financial statements

31 December 2014

4. INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS IN ISSUE BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE (continued)

IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 specifies how and when an IFRS reporter will recognise revenue as well as requiring such entities to provide users of financial statements with more informative, relevant disclosures. The standard supersedes IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and a number of revenue-related interpretations. The Standard applies to nearly all contracts with customers, the main exceptions being leases, financial instruments and insurance contracts. IFRS 15 is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. The Standard has not as yet been endorsed by the European Union.

IAS 19 Amendment (as part of the Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012 - 2014 cycle) - Employee Benefits

The Amendments to IAS 19 clarify that the high quality corporate bonds used to estimate the discount rate for post-employment benefits should be issued in the same currency as the benefits to be paid. These amendments would result in the depth of the market for high quality corporate bonds being assessed at currency level. The amendments apply from the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements in which the amendments are first applied. Any initial adjustment arising should be recognised in retained earnings at the beginning of that period. These Amendments are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The Amendments have not as yet been endorsed by the European Union.

IAS 1 Amendments - Disclosure Initiative

The Amendments aim at clarifying IAS 1 to address perceived impediments to preparers exercising their judgment in presenting their financial reports. The Amendments are designed to further encourage companies to apply professional judgement in determining what information to disclose in their financial statements. The amendments make clear that materiality applies to the whole of financial statements and that the inclusion of immaterial information can inhibit the usefulness of financial disclosures. Furthermore, the Amendments clarify that companies should use professional judgement in determining where and in what order information is presented in the financial disclosures. The Amendments are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The Amendments have not as yet been endorsed by the European Union.

The Group and the Company are in the process of assessing the impact of these standards on the financial position and performance of the Group and the Company.

The Board of Directors anticipate that the adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards that were in issue at the date of authorisation of these financial statements, but not yet effective, other than the above, will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Group and the Company in the period of initial application.

6. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

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 segments and to assess their performance.

For management purposes the Group is organised into operating segments based on the nature of its operations and has three reportable segments as shown below.

Management monitors the operating results of its segments separately for the purposes of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on earnings before interest, tax and deferred income arising from the sale of terminal buildings and fixtures (EBIT). However, the Group and the Company financing (including finance income and finance costs), deferred income arising from the sale of terminal buildings and fixtures and income tax are managed on a Group and Company basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

The results of the segments are reported below:

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. The amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised is based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

Non-current provision for retirement benefit plan 3,828,974		4,070,876	3,828,974	4,070,876

The provision for retirement benefits is unfunded and represents the Company's and the Group's share of the year-end provision in accordance with the Pensions Ordinance (Cap 93) for possible future liabilities relating to pensions of employees who joined the public service before 15 January 1979 and were transferred to the Company. The provision has been computed in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 2 and represents the Company's and the Group's obligation (i) discounted to the net present value at the rate which has been determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on Maltese government bonds (ii) after considering the average life expectancy of such employees based on the latest publicly available mortality tables and (iii) where applicable, expected rates of salary increases based on the inflation and previous increases given to employees and (iv) the Company's expectations, based on historic data, of the payment options that will be selected by the plan members, being either an annual benefit per employee or a lump sum payment plus a reduced annual benefit per employee until death, capped in accordance with statutory requirements.

The movement in the provision for retirement benefit plan may be analysed as follows:

	31.12.2014	31.12.2013

Present value of the provision for retirement benefits at 31 December	3,828,974	4,070,876

31 December 2014

25. PROVISION FOR RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLAN (continued)

The year-end obligation includes EUR3,176,682 (2013 - EUR2,989,032) in relation to retired employees.

The plan exposes the Group and the Company to such risks as (i) interest risk, since a decrease in market yields will increase the plan liability; (ii) longevity risk, since an increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan liability; and (iii) salary risk, since an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan liability.

The significant actuarial assumptions used to determine the present value of the retirement benefit plan were as follows:

	Group and Company
2014	2013
4.1%	4.6%
79	79
83	83

The sensitivity analyses below are in connection with each significant actuarial assumption and are prepared as of the end of the reporting period, showing how the defined benefit obligation would have been affected by hypothetical changes in the relevant actuarial assumption that were reasonably possible at that date, while holding all other assumptions constant. The sensitivity analyses presented below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. In presenting the sensitivity analyses, the present value of the obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period. The amounts generated from the sensitivity analyses represent forward-looking estimates and hence, actual results in the future may differ materially from those projected results.

• If the discount rate is 100 basis points higher (lower) with all other assumptions held constant, the defined benefit obligation decreases by EUR226,522 (increases by EUR256,256) (2013 - decreases by EUR262,865 (increases by EUR232,225)).
• w If the life expectancy increases (decreases) by two years for both men and women with all other assumptions held constant, the defined benefit obligation increases by EUR265,376 (decreases by EUR285,620) (2013 - increases by EUR237,377 (decreases by EUR273,099)).

The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation at 31 December 2014 is 22 years (2013 -23 years) in relation to employees that are still employed by the company and 14 years (2013 - 15 years) in relation to retired employees.

26. PROVISION FOR MIA BENEFIT PLAN (continued)

The provision for MIA benefit plan is funded and represents the year-end provision for possible future liabilities relating to payments to employees after their retirement as per the Company's Collective Agreement. The provision has been computed in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 2 and represents the Company's possible obligation discounted to the net present value at the rate which has been determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on Maltese government bonds after considering the probability that employees reach the applicable retirement age when they are still in employment with the Company.

32. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

At reporting date, there existed:

• (i) of disciplinary procedures, the amount of which has not been determined;
• (ii) a dispute with the Government of Malta which arose in 2005 and which could result in a claim. The Government estimates the value of the claim as at 31 December 2013 to be approximately EUR2.8 million; and
• (iii) a claim by an airline for a total amount of EUR250,526 (2012: EUR250,526) which claim is subject to full reimbursement by the Company's insurers. In 2012 the court ordered the Company to reimburse the full amount claimed, including interest. The Company has filed an appeal to the sentence.
• (iv) a dispute with two contractors involved in the construction of Skyparks Business Centre. The amount claimed by the contractors on three separate contracts is in aggregate circa EUR450,000 more than estimated by the Group. Both contractors have initiated court cases against the Group.

The above contingent liabilities have all been claimed against the Company. In the directors' opinion, all the above claims are unfounded.

Operating lease payments represent ground rents payable by the Government of Malla on the temporary emphyteuses, with no renewal option included in the contracts. The term of the leases ranges from 58 years to 65 years and the lease payments periodically by a specified rate. The lease expense is allocated to commercial areas on the basis of the total surface area covered by the lease expense in relation to the commercial areas is recognised on a straight-line basis. The recognition of the lease expense in relation to the non-commercial areas is made on a systematic basis that is considered to be most representative of the time pattern of the expected benefit that the Group and the Company can reasonably be expected to reap from the use of that part of the leased asset over the lease term on the basis of passenger movements. This assessment is reviewed annually to determine whether the basis that is applied in allocating the lease expense over the lease term continues to be appropriate.

36. PARENT COMPANY

For the purposes of IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements, it is considered that Articles 58.2 and 58.7 of the Company's Articles of Association combine so as to give Malta Mediterranean Link Consortium Limited, which has its registered office at Palazzo Pietro Stiges, 60 St. Christopher Street, Valletta, Malta, control over the Company. The consolidated financial statements of the Group are incorporated in the Group financial statements of Malta Mediterranean Link Consortium Limited.

37. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

At 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013 the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities classified with current assets and current liabilities respectively approximated their fair values due to the short term maturities of these assets and liabilities. The fair values of non-current loans and receivables and non-current financial liabilities are not materially different from their carrying amounts because they carry an arm's length interest that is re-priced periodically.

Investments in available for sale equity instruments that do not have a quoted price in an active market for an identical instrument (that is, a Level 1 input) and whose fair values cannot be reliably measured are stated at cost since the range of reasonable fair value estimates is significant and the probabilities of the various estimates cannot be reliably assessed. It is not possible to disclose the range of estimates within which fair value is highly likely to lie.

The Company does not intend to dispose of these financial instruments within 12 months of the reporting period. The fair value of the other available for sale instruments is disclosed in note 17. The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are not measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, other than those with carrying amounts that are reasonable approximations of fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3.

Notes to the financial statements

31 December 2014

38. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

The main risks arising from the Group's and the Company's financial instruments are changes in interest rate, liquidity risk and credit risk, which are summarised below.

Interest rate risk

The Group has taken out bank facilities to finance its operations as disclosed in note 23 and has cash at bank balances as disclosed in note 29. The interest rates thereon and the terms of such borrowings are disclosed accordingly. The company has also granted an interest-bearing loan to a subsidiary as disclosed in note 18. The Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk on bank balances and borrowings carrying a floating interest rate. Management monitors the movement in interest rates and, where possible, reacts to material movements in such rates by restructuring its financing structure.

Interest rate risk table

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, of the Group's and Company's profit before tax. The Group and Company consider the reasonably possible changes in interest rates to be a change in 25 basis points.

	Increase/	Biffect on	Effect on
	decrease in	Group profit	Company profit
	basis points	before tax	before tax
		BOR	EUR
2014	+25	(72,070)	(23,597)
	-25	72.070	23,597
2013	+25	(81,806)	(47,001)
	-25	81,806	47,001

The effect on profit takes into consideration both interest payable and interest receivable based on the subsidiary and bank loans and cash and short term deposits as disclosed in notes 18, 23 and 29 respectively.

Credit risk

Financial assets which potentially subject the Group and the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of available-for-sale financial assets, receivables and cash and short term deposits held at bank, Receivables are presented net of an allowance for doubtful debts. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amounts of each class of asset as disclosed in notes 17,18, 21 and 29 respectively. As disclosed in note 23 the Company has also granted security over its subsidiary's bank loan.

An allowance for provision for impairment of trade receivables is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows. Credit risk with respect to trade receivables is managed and assessed through the adherence to credit control procedures, which include client acceptance procedures, and is also limited through the number of customers comprising the Group's and Company's debtor base. Outstanding trade receivables are regularly monitored by management. Available-for-sale financial assets are acquired after assessing the quality of the relevant available-for-sale financial asset. Cash and short term deposits held at bank is placed with reliable financial institutions. Management considers the quality of its financial assets as being acceptable.

The largest single customer of the Group, Air Malta plc, which is currently going through a restructuring process, accounts for EUR3.2 million (2013 - EUR1.0 million) of the Group's trade and other receivables at year end and 31.0% (2013 - 34.5%) of the Group's revenue.

The Company's exposure to this customer is not materially different to that of the Group.

Notes to the financial statements

31 December 2014

38. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Credit risk (continued)

The maximum exposure to this customer during a period of increased trading, in particular in the summer months at normal credit terms, is expected to be in the region of EUR3.6 million (2013 - EUR4.4 million). The Board feels confident that the Croup's and the Company's exposure to Air Malta plc will not jeopardize in any way the Group's ability to continue operations for the foreseeable future and that Air Malta plc will meet its obligations.

Liquidity risk

The tables below summarises the maturity profile of the Group's and Company's financial liabilities at 31 December 2014 based on contractual undiscounted payments. In the tables below, "Current' refers to invoices issued close to year end, and which were within the credit period of 30 days given to the Group and the Company.

Independent auditor's report

to the members of

Malta International Airport p.I.c.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Malta International Airport p.l.c. and its Group, set out on pages 20 to 64, which comprise the statements of financial position of the Company and the Group as at 31 December 2014, and the statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Directors' responsibility for the financial statements

As explained more fully in the statement of directors' responsibilities on page 8, the directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and the requirements of the Companies Act, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of the Company and the Group. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Independent auditor's report (continued)
