REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ABU DHABI AVIATION

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Abu Dhabi Aviation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”), as at 30 June 2021 and the related condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows and selected explanatory notes for the three-months and six-month period then ended. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

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

The Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) have been established to own and operate helicopters and fixed wing aircraft both within and outside the United Arab Emirates and to undertake charter, commercial, air cargo and other related services. The Company has its registered office at P.O. Box 2723, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

The Federal Decree-Law No. 26 of 2020 on the amendment of certain provisions of UAE Federal Law No. 2 of 2015 on Commercial Companies was issued on 27 September 2020 and became effective on 2 January 2021. It requires companies to adjust their status in accordance with the provisions by 2 January 2022. The Group is in the process to assess the impact wherever applicable to ensure compliance with the changes in the law.

2 Basis of preparation

These condensed consolidated financial statements for the Six months ended 30 June 2021 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable requirements of the laws of the UAE.

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

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020. In addition, results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the financial year ending 31 December 2021.

Judgments, estimates and risk management

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affects the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

3 Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies used in the preparation of this condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, and the notes attached thereto.

  • a) Amendment to standards and interpretations issued and effective during the financial year beginning 1 January 2021.

  • Interest Rate Benchmark Reform –Phase 2 The amendments in Interest Rate Benchmark Reform- Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16) introduce a practical expedient for modifications required by the reform, clarify that hedge accounting is not discontinued solely because of the IBOR reform, and introduce disclosures that allow users to understand the nature and extent of risks arising from the IBOR reform to which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages those risks as well as the entity’s progress in transitioning from IBORs to alternative benchmark rates, and how the entity is managing this transition.

New standards and amendments issued but not yet effective

  • Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current - amendments to IAS 1 (effective from 1 January 2023). The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or non-current;

  • Reference to the Conceptual Framework - Amendments to IFRS 3 (effective from 1 January 2022). The amendments update an outdated reference to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS 3 without significantly changing the requirements in the standard;

  • Property, Plant and Equipment - Proceeds before Intended Use - amendments to IAS 16 (effective from 1 January 2022). The amendments prohibit deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognises the proceeds from selling such items, and the cost of producing those items, in profit or loss;

  • Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract - amendments to IAS 37 (effective from 1 January 2022). The amendments specify that the ‘cost of fulfilling’ a contract comprises the ‘costs that relate directly to the contract’. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (examples would be direct labour, materials) or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts (an example would be the allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling the contract);

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

New standards and amendments issued but not yet effective

  • IFRS 17: Insurance Contracts (effective from 1 January 2023). IFRS 17 requires insurance liabilities to be measured at a current fulfilment value and provides a more uniform measurement and presentation approach for all insurance contracts. These requirements are designed to achieve the goal of a consistent, principle-based accounting for insurance contracts. IFRS 17 supersedes IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts as at January 1, 2023;

  • Amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011) relating to the treatment of the sale or contribution of assets from an investor to its associate or joint venture. (Effective date deferred indefinitely. Adoption is still permitted).

  • Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020 (effective from 1 January 2022). The Annual Improvements include amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (effective from January 1, 2022), IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective from January 1, 2022), IFRS 16 Leases (effective date not yet decided) and IAS 41 Agriculture (effective from January 1, 2022).

  • Disclosure of Accounting Policies - Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 (effective from 1 January 2023). The amendments require that an entity discloses its material accounting policies, instead of its significant accounting policies. Further amendments explain how an entity can identify a material accounting policy. Examples of when an accounting policy is likely to be material are added. To support the amendment, the Board has also developed guidance and examples to explain and demonstrate the application of the ‘four-step materiality process’ described in IFRS Practice Statement 2.

  • Definition of Accounting Estimates - Amendments to IAS 8 (effective from 1 January 2023). The amendments replace the definition of a change in accounting estimates with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty”. Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The amendments clarify that a change in accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not the correction of an error.

The above stated new standards and amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on interim financial information of the Group.

There are no other applicable new standards and amendments to published standards or IFRIC interpretations that have been issued that would be expected to have a material impact on the interim financial information of the Group.

9 Cash and bank balances (continued)

Cash and deposits with banks include an amount of AED 10.3 million (31 December 2020: AED 7.9 million) held in foreign banks abroad and the remaining balance is held within the UAE. Balances with banks are assessed to have low credit risk of default since these banks are highly regulated by the central banks of the respective countries. Accordingly, management of the Group estimates the loss allowance on balances with banks at the end of the reporting period at an amount equal to 12 month ECL. None of the balances with banks at the end of the reporting period are past due, and taking into account the historical default experience and the current credit ratings of the bank, the management of the Group have assessed that there is no impairment, and hence have not recorded any loss allowances on these balances.

During the period ending 30 June 2021, the Group has utilised their overdraft facility amounting to AED 52.9 million out of AED 200 million with local banks for the purpose to manage working capital. The facility is repayable on demand. The interest is calculated with reference to prevailing market rates.
