CHAIRMAN'S SPEECH

Dear Shareholders,

It gives me great pleasure to present to you the Thirty Fifth Annual Report of the Company for the year 2017-18.

Airline Allied Services Ltd. is one of the leading regional airlines in the country providing connectivity to Tier II & Tier III cities in India as well a feeder to its parent company, Air India Limited and its subsidiary, Air India Express Limited. It is in the process of expanding its operations on Pan India basis by inducting more aircraft in its eet. These aircraft will serve shorter routes within the country and also y overseas in the near future.

OVERVIEW- CIVIL AVIATION INDUSTRY

India's civil aviation industry seems to have become a more mature market than any time in the past. The number of players in the industry still remain fairly large. The big change in the current year is the emergence of numerous regional airports that will increase connectivity tremendously across the country. In addition, policy changes like allowing foreign direct investment in domestic airlines has changed the market landscape. Passenger trafc is also rising by leaps and bounds as consumers are shifting from rail to air in large numbers.

AIR TRAVEL GROWTH

The latest data released by aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) reveals that domestic air trafc nearly doubled to 117 Million passengers in 2017 with 100 ights taking off every hour compared with 67 in 2011. As against 59.87 Million passengers in 2011, there were 117.18 Million passengers in 2017. There was also an 18% growth in passenger trafc in 2017 as compared to 2016. In addition, ights were operating at fuller capacity than in the past, from 75.5 per cent full in 2011 to 86.1 per cent full in 2017.

The other clear trend that has emerged in recent years is the rm preference for low budget airlines by air travelers. The situation now is that Low cost carriers dominate the skies with a nearly 68 per cent market share.

INDIA TO BE THIRD LARGEST AVIATION MARKET

The country is poised to become the third largest aviation market by 2025, overtaking the UK, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

The inow of foreign investment has led to an acceleration in the industry's growth over the last seven years. According to data released by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), FDI inows in air transport (including air freight) between April 2000 and September 2017 stood at USD1.59 Billion. According to Morgan Stanley, the country will witness an investment of USD25 Billion in the next decade in the airports sector and trafc growth of 13 %. It has projected that the share of air travel in air and rail travel combined in the country will grow to 15.2 % per cent by 2027 from 7.9 % now.

Given the huge investments being planned for the civil aviation sector, it is clear that the country is poised for a big leap in the arena of air travel. It has enormous potential for expansion since air transport remains beyond the reach of most of the country's travelling public. Rail travel has increasingly become more expensive. In contrast, air travel provides comfort with speed. There is thus no doubt that civil aviation needs to keep a focus on quality, cost and passenger interest, which will enable it to become the third-largest aviation market by 2025.

FUEL PRICES

One factor that needs to be kept in mind is the cost of fuel, as oil prices have risen signicantly over the past year. Fuel prices account for about 30% to 40% of airlines' operational costs. In case these continue to rise it

will impact pricing and also ight occupancy. Indian consumers tend to be extremely price conscious and airlines nd that a hike in prices leads to an immediate dip in demand. For this, however, the industry needs to ensure better efciency in operations to cut costs and improve passenger service to lure customers.

To sum it up the Indian aviation industry is on the verge of a gigantic leap forward. It can only be hoped that the policy environment continues to be conducive to its growth so that the industry can realize its full potential in the coming years.

NEW CIVIL AVIATION POLICY – REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY SCHEME

The new Regional Connectivity Scheme “Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik" (UDAN) introduced by the Government, which will run for 10 years, will work to revive existing airstrips and airports. Under this scheme in rst round of bidding, Government had awarded 128 regional routes to ve airlines — Airline Allied Services Limited (Alliance Air), SpiceJet, Turbo Megha, Air Odisha and Air Deccan.

In the second round of Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS), 325 routes have been awarded to airlines and helicopter operators with the aim of enhancing ight services to hilly and remote areas. Under the scheme airline operators have to offer half of their seats at discounted rates and helicopter operators can offer up to 13 seats at lower fares with the Government providing Viability Gap Funding (VGF) or subsidy to airlines and helicopter operators.

With the introduction of RCS, a number of new routes to unserved and undeserved airports have opened up for Alliance Air and it has been awarded 15 routes and 18 routes in the rst and second round respectively of the

thbidding process. The Hon'ble Prime Minister agged off the rst UDAN ight on the Shimla-Delhi sector on 27 April, 2017 and Alliance Air had the privilege of being the launch carrier. Alliance Air had launched 19 routes as

ston 31 March, 2018 and also holds the credit for the rst airline to complete commencement of operations on all the awarded routes in the rst round of bidding. Under Wings India 2018, organized by FICCI in association with Govt of India, Alliance Air has been declared as the winner of 'Best Airlines and Helicopter under RCS'.

As operation to unserved and undeserved airports has been incentivized by the Government, it will stimulate trafc on regional routes connecting Tier-II/III cities. Alliance Air, with its existing eet of ATR aircraft, supplemented by an early induction of more ATR aircraft can take a position of dominance in the regional market. It, therefore, plans to participate aggressively in the subsequent rounds of RCS bidding as well.

PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY DURING THE YEAR

The Company incurred a Net Loss of Rs. 2637.64 Million for Financial Year 2017-18 as against, net loss of Rs. 2867.06 Million for Financial Year 2016-17. Although the total revenue has increased by Rs.2039.85 Million, the loss decreased only by Rs. 229.42 Million due to increase in expenditure by Rs. 1810.44 Million. The increase in losses can be attributed to the following reasons:

l Passenger revenue increased by Rs.1861.17 Million due to net impact of increase in passenger carriage by 0.66 million and decline in passenger yield by Rs.1076 per passenger.

l Other Operating Income increased from Rs. 26.59 Million in 2016-17 to Rs. 206.38 Million in 2017-18.

l There was increase in ATF cost by Rs. 538.26 Million due to increase in operation and resultant increase in quantity uplifted. The average ATF rate increased by 27%.

l Lease charges increased by Rs. 240.65 Million due to induction of 6 new Aircraft in the year 2017-18 (Rs.1804.15 Million from Rs. 1563.50 Million).

l The maintenance charges increased by Rs.162.11 Million (Rs.1593.79 Million from Rs. 1431.68 Million) due to induction of three new aircraft and increase in the expenditure on repair of aircraft and cost of material consumed.

l Increase on account of re-computation of redelivery cost of Aircraft and induction of new aircraft in eet, increase in Financial cost towards interest on outstanding amount to be payable to the parent company.

FUTURE PLANS

The passenger aviation market in India has been growing steadily due to induction of capacity by all airlines and also fares becoming more affordable. The growth in Tier II & III cities is still largely untapped, as larger airlines have focused on trunk routes and operate larger capacity aircraft which are not suitable for serving in smaller airports.

Alliance Air has the advantage of operating ATR type of aircraft since January 2003. It intends to build on this experience of over a decade of serving to Tier II & III cities. The Company has a eet of 2 ATR 42-320 and 14 ATR 72-600 aircraft. Four New ATR 72-600 aircraft were likely to be inducted in FY 2017-18. The existing eets is operating 86 ights every day over a network of 51 stations. The new aircraft being inducted will be utilized to increase frequency on present routes as well as deployment on new RCS routes. The Company plans to expand its network and reach to neighboring countries. It further plans to increase the eet to 40 aircraft by FY 2021.It plans to reverse the trend of adverse nancial parameters and improve the nancial position of the Company as well. We hope to do much better in the year 2018-19 and condent of increasing our revenues, cutting down on expenses and loss making routes.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I take this opportunity to thank Air India Limited and Ministry of Civil Aviation for their unstinted support. I also acknowledge the support extended by all other authorities including banks and regulatory agencies and assure that we will continue our growth trajectory, taking Airline Allied Services Limited to greater heights. I would like to thank my colleagues on the Board for their valuable guidance.

I would like to thank all employees of Airline Allied Services Limited for their contribution and support to transform Alliance Air as the First choice of the travelling Public.

On behalf of the Board, I seek your continued support, as always.

TRAINING

Alliance Air has upgraded 4 ATR Pilots as Commander during this year and 2 ATR Pilot would be under PIC upgraded training during the year 2017-18.

GOING CONCERN

Air India Limited had formulated a Turn Around Plan (TAP) applicable to its group companies in order to improve their operational and nancial performance. The Government of India had approved the Turn Around Plan (TAP) in February 2012 with the intention to turn around Air India Limited and its subsidiaries.

Alliance Air, with the induction of 10 new ATR 72-600 aircraft will have a total eet of 16 aircraft in 2017-18 and 20 aircraft in 2018-19.

Alliance Air is presently operating to 51 destinations (as on November 2018) with 110 departures per day and 602 ights per week. It is projected to carry approximately 1.6 Million passengers in Financial Year 2018-19, which is a 22% growth year on year over Financial Year 2017-18. The projected capacity increase for Financial Year 2018-19 is 30 % over Financial Year 2017-18. The aircraft utilisation has increased close to 75% in rst half of 2018-19 as compared to 2017-18.

Alliance Air is budgeting a revenue of around Rs. 876.60 Crore in 2018-19 compared to the actual operating revenue of Rs. 593.15 Crore and Rs. 367.66 Crore in 2017-18 and 2016-17 respectively. This is principally due increase in effective utilisation of aircraft from the average 6.4 hours to 8.52 hours per day and 10.09 per day in

September 2018 apart from increase in ASKM. The Revenue PER Kilometre (RPK), Performance (OTP) and Passenger Load Factor (PLF) had shown upward trend and is par or higher than industry standard, which has led to reduction in operating loss compared to the last year.

The Company has continued to operate to the North Eastern region like Guwahati, Lilabari, Tezpur in Assam, Shillong in Meghalaya and Agatti and Diu on request from NEC and MHA under Viability Gap Funding (VGF) arrangements. These routes are operationally protable.

The Company has emerged as a major player in the Government of India's premier scheme UDAN, which connects to various Tier II and Tier III cities with the development of unserved / underserved airports. The growth in Tier II and Tier III cities is still largely untapped and Alliance Air is likely to emerge as a largest player with its ATR 72-600 eet suitable for serving these smaller airports.

The Company has strategized itself to invest major resources in Government of India's UDAN scheme and presently it is operating 19 routes and is expected to increase it to 23 routes shortly. The airline is poised to launch another 10 routes under UDAN scheme in the next 2-3 months thereby increasing our presence to 33 routes under UDAN scheme. This is 23.74% of the total routes Alliance Air is operating presently and which shows that Alliance air is fully committed towards increasing its presence under UDAN. The performance of the airline under UDAN has been excellent wherein the Company has been operationally positive.

The Company has also earmarked specic routes, which were loss making and have consciously shifted the operations from these routes to potentially higher revenue earning routes. The airline is also planning to participate heavily in the coming UDAN 3rd round, so that majority of the routes are able to meet total cost of operation thereby enabling the airline to turnaround and declare operating prot.

The airline is consciously increasing the yield and as on date the average yield at Rs. 9.05 per kilometre, which is about 13% higher than the previous year. With the increase of additional two aircraft by December 2018, more routes are being deployed under UDAN. The airline also has the Board approval to further lease 15 aircraft in the near future and expand under UDAN, which will add substantially to the bottom line.

With the support of Air India Limited in providing corporate guarantee for aircraft leases, reservation systems, inventory management, SAP etc. and other various measures taken towards improving Company's operational and nancial activities, it is expected that the nancial position of the Company would improve in future.

With all the above measures and the Tier II & III market growing at a fast pace, Alliance Air is in the threshold of becoming one of the top regional airline in India and become a protable airline operationally in near future.

RISK MITIGATION STRATEGIES

The Company continuously monitors the risk perceptions and takes preventive action for mitigation of risks on various fronts.

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS

The Company had appointed M/s Vijay Mukesh & Co. as Internal auditors for the year 2017-18 to carry out various internal audit assignments such as Tax compliance, Risk assessment & mitigation, Strengthening Internal control process, etc.

COMMENTS OF THE COMPTROLLER AND AUDITOR GENERAL OF INDIA UNDER SECTION 143(6)(b)

OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE AIRLINES ALLIED

SERVICES LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2018

The preparation of nancial statements of AIRLINE ALLIED SERVICES LIMITED for the year ended 31 March

2018 in accordance with the nancial reporting framework prescribed under the Companies Act, 2013 (Act) is

the responsibility of the management of the company. The statutory auditor appointed by the Comptroller and

Auditor General of India under Section 139(5) of the Act is responsible for expressing opinion on the nancial

statements under Section 143 of the Act based on independent audit in accordance with standards on auditing

prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act. This is stated to have been done by them vide their Audit Report

dated 6 November 2018.

I, on the behalf of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, have conducted a supplementary audit of the

nancial statements of AIRLINE ALLIED SERVICES LIMITED for the year ended 31 March 2018 under

section 143(6)(a) of the Act. This supplementary audit has been carried out independently without access to

the working papers of the statutory auditor and is limited primarily to inquiries of the statutory auditor and

company personnel and a selective examination of some of the accounting records.

Based on my supplementary audit, I would like to highlight the following signicant matters under section

143(6)(b) of the Act which have come to my attention and which in my view are necessary for enabling a better

understanding of the nancial statements and the related audit report.

A. Comments on Financial Position

1. Balance Sheet

Current Assets

(ii) Financial Assets

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Rs. 26.97 crores (Note no. 7)

The above includes an amount of Rs. 28.90 lakh on account of advances given to employees of the

company for ofcial purposes, which should have been booked under “Other current assets”. This has

resulted in overstatement of “Cash and Cash Equivalents” and understatement of “Other current

assets”by Rs. 28.90 lakh.

B. Comments on Auditor's Report

i. Accumulated losses of Rs. 2078.40 crore reported by the Statutory Auditor under Emphasis of

Matter paragraph under para 1 of his report is incorrect since accumulated losses as per

Balance Sheet – Note No. 13 (Other Equity) of the Company were Rs. 2098.28 crore.

ii. Independent Auditor's Report Para 8 (iii) (d) of 'Report on the Other Legal and Regulatory

Requirements' stating that the nancial statements comply with the Accounting Standards

except the effects of matters described in the “basis of Qualied opinion” paragraph, is incorrect

since there is no 'basis for Qualied opinion' paragraph mentioned in the Report.

Thus, the Independent Auditor's Report is not correct to this extent.

MANAGEMENT REPLIES TO THE COMMENTS OF COMPTROLLER AND AUDITOR GENERAL OF INDIA

UNDER SECTION 143 (6) (B) OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF THE

AIRLINE ALLIED SERVICES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2018

This is a statement of fact. However, there is no nancial impact as both the amounts are to be grouped under current assets and only a presentation error.

We have noted the observation and will ensure non-recurrence while preparing the nancial statements for the year 2018-19.

The observation is correct. This is due to inadvertent typographical error .

The Audit Report 2017-18 is not a qualied report. Due to inadvertent typographic error the para 8 (iii) has been wrongly worded,

We assure to take the appropriate care for the non-recurrence of such typographical errors in future.

A. Comments on Financial Position

1. Balance Sheet Current Assets Financial Assets Cash and Cash Equivalents - Rs. 26.97 crores

(Note no. 7)

This has resulted in overstatement of “Cash and Cash Equivalents” and understatement of “Other current assets”by Rs. 28.90 lakh.

ANNEXURE “C” TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE IND AS STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF AIRLINE ALLIED SERVICES LIMITED

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal nancial controls over nancial reporting of AIRLINE ALLIED SERVICES LIMITED (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the Ind As standalone nancial statement of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal nancial controls based on the internal control over nancial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal nancial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efcient conduct of its business, including adherence to company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable nancial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal nancial controls over nancial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal nancial controls, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal nancial controls over nancial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal nancial controls system over nancial reporting and their operating effectiveness.

Our audit of internal nancial controls over nancial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal nancial controls over nancial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind As nancial statement, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufcient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualied audit opinion on the Company's internal nancial controls system over nancial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

A company's internal nancial control over nancial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of nancial reporting and the preparation of Ind As standalone nancial statement for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal nancial control over nancial reporting includes those policies and procedures that

AASL

54

1. Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

2. Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Ind As standalone nancial statement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

3. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the standalone Ind As nancial statement.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal nancial controls over nancial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal nancial controls over nancial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal nancial control over nancial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Basis for Qualied Opinion

In our opinion, according to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material weaknesses have been identied as at March 31, 2018. The Company did not have appropriate internal nancial controls in under mentioned processes:

(i) The Company did not have an interface between various functional software relating to Sales/Revenue and Inventory Management with the accounting software resulting in accounting entries made manually. Further consistent delay has been observed in the accounting of revenue instead of real time basis/regular periodic interval. System of verication of data provided by outsource agency relating to revenue needs to be strengthen. Reconciliation with regard to revenue accounted for in the Company's account with the parent Company (AIL) is after the year end only. Revenue has been accounted for on the basis of data uploaded on FTP Server. Control on ticket price applicable for ights on RCS sector is inadequate.

(ii) Internal control system is decient in respect of payment on account of remuneration to Expat Pilots (refer note no. 53 of notes on accounts).

(iii) Internal control system is decient in respect of salary payment of Indian pilots (refer note no. 54 of notes forming part of the nancial statement).

(iv) Internal control system is decient in respect of utilization of services of pilots as services of some of the pilots are utilized over and above their normal working hours by buying their leaves and services of other pilots remain unutilized/underutilized below than the minimum hours.(refer note no. 55).

(v) Internal control system is decient in respect of reconciliation with parent Company and Associates Companies as it takes place only at the year end. Signicant impact on the Company's books of account has been observed on reconciliation of account with the Parent Company and Associate Companies. Reconciliation of account with AAI is pending since past many years.

AASL

55

(vi) The Company did not have an appropriate internal control system for reconciliation of statutory dues.

(vii) The Company did not have an appropriate internal audit control system for obtaining conrmation of balances on a periodic basis and reconciliation of unmatched Receivables and Payables.

(viii) The Company did not have an effective Information system audit to evaluate and test the IT general controls, which may affect the completeness, accuracy and reliability of the reports generated from IT System.

(ix) Internal Control System is decient that maker checker concept is missing in SAP accounting.

(x) The Company does not have proper internal control for procuring goods and process of invoice/expenses in respect of aircraft inventory.

A 'material weakness' is a deciency, or a combination of deciencies, in internal nancial control over nancial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual Ind As standalone nancial statement will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Qualified opinion

In our opinion, except for the effects of material weaknesses described in “basis of qualied opinion” paragraph above, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal nancial controls system over nancial reporting and such internal nancial controls over nancial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on the internal control over nancial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

We have considered the material weaknesses identied and reported above in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the March 31, 2018 Ind As standalone nancial statement of the Company, and these material weaknesses have affected our opinion on the Ind As standalone nancial statement of the Company we have issued a qualied opinion on the standalone Ind As nancial statement.

In airlines industry sales are booked as a liability and gets converted to revenue only on the completion of the travel by the pax. The sales processing and revenue processing are two independent activities.

While, the sales processing for tickets pertaining to Alliance Air sectors is being accounted in Air India books, the revenue accounting is being done in the Alliance Air Books of Accounts based on the uplifted / own passengers. The revenue earnings for passenger revenue, excess baggage & freight are therefore segregated and credited by AIL to AASL on the basis of ight wise monthly revenue reports generated electronically. The ight-wise uplift coupons are matched electronically with the manifest reports. The deployed system of Revenue Accounting is considered adequate and inline with Airline Industry practice.

It is submitted that the company has duly made available the FTP server reports for all the months of nancial year 2017-18 for the audit verication as to the SAP entries incorporated in the Books of Accounts to account for the Passenger Revenue.

Air India provides administrative support in procurement & stocking of the aircraft inventory through a centralized inventory management system, named “RAMCO”, for its AIL along with its subsidiaries through separate “Inventory Series”.

Requisitions are made by the concerned sub-sidiary, however, for the procurement and to garner the benets of best available rates, the orders are placed to the specied vendors listed by the parent company. The laid down procedure of acceptance of goods, binning and issuance for consumptions are accounted for in the centralized software as stated above. Accounting thereafter is being carried out on the basis of generated reports by the system.

As far as TDS is concerned, the company has been taking action in accordance with the opinion obtained from M/s Rajnish & Associates (Chartered Accountant).

Airline Allied Services Ltd. (AASL) is having centralized accounting at Delhi having operations all over India. There is time gap between receipts of actual bills at Delhi. At the time of closing of the books of accounts, the bills for various expenditure like Landing, Parking, RNFC, TNLC, Catering, Hotel Accommodation and certain aircraft repairs are normally not received. To adhere with Matching Concept wherein “Expenses are recognized in the same accounting period as the related revenue are recognized”, it is required to account for these expenses. For this, ad-hoc provisions for these expenses are made on estimations through following journal entry :

Dr. Expense HeadCr. Provision Account

As actual bills are not available and provision is based on estimation, the correlation between party name and expense head is not ascertainable, thus, deduction of TDS on these provisions is not feasible as individual PAN for these expense cannot be ascertained.

It is further stated that at the time of computation of income for ling of Income Tax Return, these provisions are added back. It means that expenditure booked through provisions has not been claimed as expense in Income Tax Return.

This is a Statement of fact.

ANNEXURE “C” TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE IND AS STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF AIRLINE ALLIED SERVICES LIMITED


Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act,2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal nancial controls over nancial reporting of AIRLINE ALLIED SERVICES LIMITED (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the Ind As standalone nancial statement of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal nancial controls based on the internal control over nancial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal nancial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efcient conduct of its business, including adherence to company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable nancial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal nancial controls over nancial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal nancial controls, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate

internal nancial controls over nancial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal nancial controls system over nancial reporting and their operating effectiveness.

Our audit of internal nancial controls over nancial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal nancial controls over nancial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind As nancial statement, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufcient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualied audit opinion on the Company's internal nancial controls system over nancial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Over Financial Reporting

A company's internal nancial control over nancial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of nancial reporting and the preparation of Ind As standalone nancial statement for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal nancial control over nancial reporting includes those policies and procedures that

1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Ind As standalone nancial statement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance


AASL

72

with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the standalone Ind As nancial statement.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal nancial controls over nancial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal nancial controls over nancial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal nancial control over nancial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

In our opinion, according to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material weaknesses have been identied as at March 31, 2018. The Company did not have appropriate internal nancial controls in under mentioned processes:

(i) The Company did not have an interface between various functional software relating to Sales/ Revenue and Inventory Management with the accounting software resulting in accounting entries made manually. Further consistent delay has been observed in the accounting of revenue instead of real time basis/regular periodic interval. System of verication of data provided by out source agency relating to revenue needs to be strengthen. Reconciliation with regard to revenue accounted for in the Company's account with the parent Company (AIL) is after the year end only. Revenue has been accounted for on the basis of data uploaded on FTP Server. Control on ticket price applicable for ights on RCS sector is inadequate.

Since AASL does not have any exclusive Ticketing and Reservation System of its own, the ticketing of the AASL sectors are also through numeric code 098 of its parent company AIL. The reservation is handled through a dynamic software provided by M/S SITA under a long term contract. All the reservation and ticket data are pushed by SITA to the Revenue Accounting software system of outsourced agency of AIL, M/s Accellya Kale for necessary segregation of the respective sale and uplift data through a AI code separator (9I) for AASL. Air India's inventory (Ticket stock) is being used under numeric code 098 for sales and refunds of passenger tickets on AASL ights/sectors. The revenue collected on AASL sectors are reported

(ii) Internal control system is decient in respect of payment on account of remuneration to Expat Pilots (refer note no. 53 of notes on accounts).

(iii) Internal control system is decient in respect of salary payment of Indian pilots (refer note no. 54 of notes forming part of the nancial statement).

(iv) Internal control system is decient in respect of utilization of services of pilots as services of some of the pilots are utilized over and above their normal working hours by buying their leaves and services of other pilots remain unutilized/ underutilized below than the minimum hours. (refer note no 55)

and uploaded on FTV server online along with ight wise, passenger wise/ ticket wise/coupon wise on monthly basis by which the necessary entries are passed in AIL and as well as AASL books.

Since the tickets are electronically generated, the data are seamlessly processed in the system. There are several validations/ checks/controls as regards to authority of DATA right from capturing till it is reported and accounted with audit trail. The errors are negligible.

Reconciliation of revenue credit between its parent company AIL and AASL takes place on monthly basis.

The company is in process of implementing its own revenue system RADIXX in the year 2018-19, which will have an interface with the SAP accounting package.

Similarly, the inventory of AASL maintained in RAMCO system is reconciled in the group level with separate reports generated and provided for AASL inventories. Further, the RAMCO system is under upgradation, whereby it will be interfaced with SAP.

Suitable disclosure has been made in Notes to Accounts No. 53.

Suitable disclosure has been made in Notes to Accounts No. 54.

Due to the severe scarcity of ATR Commanders, the company has employed expatriate pilots as Commanders on Fixed Term Employment Agreement (FTEA). To meet the operational requirements. The Board of Directors of the company in their 146th meeting held on 21st March 2017 no ted and conveyed the encouragement of buying leaves of expatriate pilots.

(v) Internal control system is decient in respect of reconciliation with parent Company and Associates Companies as it takes place only at the year end. Signicant impact on the Company's books of account has been observed on reconciliation of account with the Parent C o mp a n y a n d A s s o c i a t e C o m p a n i e s . Reconciliation of account with AAI is pending since past many years.

(vi) The Company did not have an appropriate internal control system for reconciliation of statutory dues.

(vii) The Company did not have an appropriate internal audit control system for obtaining conrmation of balances on a periodic basis and reconciliation of unmatched Receivables and Payables.

(viii) The Company did not have an effective Information system audit to evaluate and test the IT general controls, which may affect the completeness, accuracy and reliability of the reports generated from IT System.

Dur ing the year 2017-18 , ha l f year l y reconciliation was carried out with parent company. As on 31.03.2018, reconciliation with parent company and all associated companies were done.

Regarding reconci l ia t ion wi th AIL and subsidiaries, suitable disclosure has been made in Notes to Accounts No.40.

Regarding AAI reconciliation, suitable disclosure is made in Note no 38.

Accounting entries for al l the statutory deductions based on the invoices received from various vendors including payroll, are duly accounted through SAP system of accounting under various tax slabs. The monthly statements are downloaded, cross checked with the invoices and paid to respective authorities on due dates and accordingly returns are led periodically as per due dates, which are audited by Internal Auditors, Statutory Auditors, Tax Auditors and Govt.. Auditors.

The company has reconciled a substantial percentage of receivables and payables in SAP for all major customers and vendors such as OIL companies, Airport operators, Handling Service providers, related parties etc. However, in respect of remaining small Vendor's accounts necessary reconciliation is in process.

The company has hired an external Independent Agency to certify and authenticate the balances which will facilitate the reconciliation and necessary accounting action thereof.

An effective SAP system has been installed and all the accounts were migrated in 2013-14. This system is being supported by IBM team. Several Computer related applications are checked for accuracy and control by the service providers. The reliability reports are also checked. There has been no irregularities detected in the System so far.

AASL has an also a functional IT department to additionally co-ordinate with IBM for control and ensuring accuracy.

The company is in the process of implementation of maker checker concept in SAP.

The company has an advanced inventory management software called “RAMCO” used in group level for AIL and its subsidiaries.

Monthly computerized statements of inventory showing opening stock, closing stock and consumptions i.r.o. AASL eet are received from AIL periodically, as reected in RAMCO system after the procurement, receipt, custom clearance etc. which are used for accounting of inventory and consumption in AASL books. The details are sent to AASL Finance for payment and accounting are supported with purchase orders along with Invoices from respective vendors duly certied by the user department.

AIL systems have elaborate and adequate control and internal check procedures for procurement, issue, stocking, segregation etc. for all inventories. Such controls are also exercised for AASL inventories.

(ix) Internal Control System is decient that maker checker concept is missing in SAP accounting.

(x) The Company does not have proper internal control for procuring goods and process of invoice/expenses in respect of aircraft inventory.

A 'material weakness' is a deciency, or a combination of deciencies, in internal nancial control over nancial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual Ind As standalone nancial statement will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Qualified Opinion

In our opinion, except for the effects of material weaknesses described in “basis of qualied opinion” paragraph above, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal nancial controls system over nancial reporting and such internal nancial controls over nancial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on the internal control over nancial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

r. TAXES ON INCOME

(i) Current Tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date. Current income tax relating to items recognised outside prot or loss is recognised outside prot or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

(ii) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for nancial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductable temporary differences to the extent that is probable that future taxable prots will be available against which they can be used. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufcient taxable prots will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the assets are realized or liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

AASL

89

The measurement of deferred tax reects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

s) PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES / CAPITAL COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENT ASSETS :

a) Provisions involving a substantial degree of estimation in measurement are recognized when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive)as a result of past events and it is probable that there will be an outow of resources. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reects, when appropriate, the risks specic to the liability. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reect the current best estimates. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of prot and loss.

b) Contingent liabilities are disclosed by way of a note in respect of possible obligations that may arise from past events but their existence is conrmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company.

c) Contingent Assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the nancial statements.

t) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignicant risk of changes in value.

u) EARNING PER SHARE

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings/ (loss) per share (EPS) data for its equity shares. Basic earnings per equity share are computed by dividing the net prot after tax attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing adjusted net prot after tax by the aggregate of weighted average number of equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares during the year.

v) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company measures nancial instruments and specic investments (other than subsidiary, joint venture and associates), at fair value at each balance sheet date.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the nancial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as below, based on the lowest level input that is signicant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is signicant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is signicant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the balance sheet on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is signicant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

� � � Financial instruments

A nancial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a nancial asset of one entity and a nancial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

a. Financial assets

(i) Classification

The Company classies nancial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through Statement of Prot and Loss on the basis of its business model for managing the nancial assets and the contractual cash ows characteristics of the nancial asset.

(ii) Initial recognition and measurement

All nancial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of nancial assets not recorded at fair value through Statement of Prot and Loss, transaction costs that are an attributable to the acquisition of the nancial asset.

(iii) Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement nancial assets are classied in below categories:

a. Financial assets carried at amortized cost

A nancial asset other than derivatives and specic investments, is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash ows and the contractual terms of the nancial asset give rise on specied dates to cash ows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

b. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

A nancial asset comprising specic investment is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash ows and selling

AASL

91

nancial assets and the contractual terms of the nancial asset give rise on specied dates to cash ows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Company has made an irrevocable election for its investments which are classied as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model.

c. Financial assets at fair value through Statement of Profit and Loss

A nancial asset comprising derivatives which is not classied in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through prot or loss.

(iv) De-recognition

A nancial asset is primarily derecognized when the rights to receive cash ows from the asset have expired or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash ows from the asset.

(v) Impairment of other financial assets

The Company assesses impairment based on expected credit losses (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the nancial assets that are trade receivables or contract revenue receivables and all lease receivables etc.

(vi) Write-off

The gross carrying amount of a nancial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the counter party does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufcient cash ows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, nancial assets that are written off, could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company's procedures for recovery of amounts due.

b. Financial Liabilities

(i) Initial recognition and measurement

All nancial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Company's nancial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, and derivative nancial instruments.

(ii) Classification

The Company classies all nancial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortized cost, except for nancial liabilities at fair value through Statement of Prot and Loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives shall be subsequently measured at fair value.

(iii) Subsequent measurement

The measurement of nancial liabilities depends on their classication, as described below.

- Financial liabilities at amortized cost

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognized in Statement of Prot and Loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.

Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as nance costs in The Statement of Prot and Loss.

- Financial liabilities at fair value through Statement of Profit and Loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through Statement of Prot and Loss include nancial liabilities held for trading and nancial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through Statement of Prot and Loss. Financial liabilities are classied as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category comprises derivative nancial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as dened by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classied as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the Statement of Prot and Loss.

(iv) Derecognition

A nancial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired.

(v) Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and nancial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to sale on a net basis, to realize the assets and sale the liabilities simultaneously

47. Going Concern:

Air India Limited had formulated a Turn Around Plan (TAP) applicable to its group companies in order to improve their operational and nancial performance. The Government of India had approved the Turn Around Plan (TAP) in February 2012 with the intention to turn around Air India Limited and its subsidiaries.

Alliance Air, with the induction of 10 new ATR-72-600 aircraft will have a eet of 16 aircraft in 2017-18 and 20 aircraft in 2018-19.

Alliance Air is presently operating to 51 destinations with 110 departures per day and 602 ights per week. It is projected to carry approximately 1.6 million passengers in Financial Year 2018-19, which is a 22% growth year on year over Financial Year 2017-18. The projected capacity increase for Financial Year 2018-19 is 30 % over Financial Year 2017-18. The aircraft utilization has increased close to 75% in rst half of 2018-19 as compared to 2017-18.

Alliance Air is budgeting revenue of around Rs. 8766 Million in 2018-19 compared to the actual operating revenue of Rs. 5931 Million and Rs. 3676 Million in 2017-18 and 2016-17 respectively. This is principally due increase in effective utilization of aircraft from the average 6.4 hours to 8.52 hours per day and 10.09 per day in September'2018 apart from increase in ASKM. The Revenue PER Kilometer (RPK), Performance (OTP) and Passenger Load Factor (PLF) had shown upward trend and is par or higher than industry standard, which has led to reduction in operating loss compared to the last year.

The company has continued to operate to the North Eastern region like Guwahati, Lilabari, Tezpur in Assam, Shillong in Meghalaya and Agatti and Diu on request from NEC and MHA under Viability Gap Funding (VGF) arrangements. These routes are operationally protable.

The company has emerged as a major player in the Government of India's premier scheme UDAN, which connects to various Tier II and Tier III cities with the development of unserved / underserved airports. The growth in Tier II and Tier III cities is still largely untapped and Alliance Air is likely to emerge as a largest player with its ATR 72-600 eet suitable for serving these smaller airports.

The company has strategized itself to invest major resources in Government of India's UDAN scheme and presently it is operating 19 routes and is expected to increase it to 23 routes shortly. The airline is poised to launch another 10 routes under UDAN scheme in the next 2-3 months thereby increasing our presence to 33 routes under UDAN scheme. This is 23.74% of the total routes Alliance Air is operating presently and which shows that Alliance air is fully committed towards increasing its presence under UDAN. The performance of the airline under UDAN has been excellent wherein the company has been operationally positive.

The company has also earmarked specic routes, which were loss making and have consciously shifted the operations from these routes to potentially higher revenue earning routes. The airline is also planning

rdto participate heavily in the coming UDAN 3 round, so that majority of the routes are able to meet total cost of operation thereby enabling the airline to turnaround and declare operating prot.

The airline is consciously increasing the yield and as on date the average yield at Rs. 9.05 per Kilometre, which is about 13% higher than the previous year. With the increase of additional two aircraft by December' 2018,more routes are being deployed under UDAN. The airline also has the Board approval to further lease 15 aircraft in the near future and expand under UDAN, which will add substantially to the bottom line.

With the support of Air India Limited in providing corporate guarantee for aircraft leases, reservation systems, inventory management, SAP etc. and other various measures taken towards improving

AASL

128

company's operational and nancial activities, it is expected that the nancial position of the company would improve in future.

With all the above measures and the Tier II & III market growing at a fast pace, Alliance Air is in the threshold of becoming one of the top regional airline in India and become a protable airline operationally in near future.

48. Regional Connectivity Scheme

Under Regional Connectivity Scheme that was introduced in April' 2017 by Government of India, AASL was awarded fteen routes through bidding process. As per understanding of the agreement (with AAI), AASL has raised invoices based on parameter / clauses applicable to RCS operator (i.e. AASL). The amount is duly paid by AAI based on invoice submitted. However, AASL is in the process of reconciling claimed amount based on the parameter and other related criteria applicable as per agreement.

49. M/s GATI:

An agreement for freighter charter operations (undertaken by AASL) between Air India Ltd and M/s GATI was terminated by GATI in March 2009, consequent to which AI invoked the Bank Guarantee of Rs. 300 Million deposited by GATI. The Arbitral Tribunal has given it's award against which an appeal has been led by Air India Limited before the Hon'ble Delhi High Court which has also upheld the decision of Arbitral Tribunal. To le an appeal in Delhi High court (Double Bench) against the subject order, AIL has deposited Rs. 220 Million with Hon'ble High Court as deposit money on 17.11.2015. Against this deposit, Provision for Doubtful Security Deposit has been made for Rs. 220.0 Million as prudence, although the matter is sub-judiced.

50. One aircraft ATR-42, MSN 406 (VT-ABO) taken on lease from M/s Abric was involved in an incident on 22.12.2015 at Kolkata. Since the aircraft was damaged extensively, the settlement agreement was signed with the lessor with the payable amount of US$ 3.3635 Million in lieu of the damage and release of aircraft. The claim under Hull insurance was lodged with the insurers company and an amount of US$ 1.4726 Million was accepted by Insurers after a deductible of US$ 100,000 and was received in the year 2016-17.

Since the aircraft was damaged due to the negligence of Jet Airways, the claim was lodged with the Jet Airways for consequential damages / losses suffered by the Company. An amount of US$ 1.7989 Million equivalent to INR 120.5 Million at the exchange rate of Rs. 67 per US$ was lodged. Out of the above claim, after negotiation with Jet Airways an amount of US $ 1.2129 Million was agreed and the same amount was accepted by AASL after obtaining the internal approval. This claim was settled and paid by Jet Airways in 2017-18.

The scrap value of the non-operational damaged Aircraft is being ascertained through internal and external sources and appropriate accounting action will be taken accordingly after disposal.

51. From 1st Aug 2017 to 1st Nov 2017, fty one employees has been transferred from AASL to AIL with all their corresponding terminal benets. Accordingly a sum of Rs.8.57 Millions outstanding provisions for gratuity for the said employees has been transferred to AIL during the year.

52. The company has registered charges of Rs. 2601.46 Millions (Previous Year Rs.3437.06 Million) with the Registrar of Companies. This charge is not towards any Fixed Asset of the company. The company is in the process of getting the said charges satised by following the procedure.

53. Due to the severe scarcity of ATR Commanders, the company has employed expatriate pilots as Commanders on Fixed Term Employment Agreement (FTEA). As per agreement these pilots are initially being provided hotel accommodation since application to DGCA, training, Foreigner Air Temporary Authorisation (FATA) license etc. takes time before they are released online for ying duty. Till such time the cost of Hotel is being borne by the Company. After FATA, Expat Pilots are shifted to designated base station where such pilots arrange their own accommodation. Thereafter, they are paid living allowance, and are not eligible for Hotel accommodation. In some of the cases, hotel accommodation has been allowed after FATA. Company is in the process to review all such cases and shall initiate recovery proceedings wherever it is found unreasonable.

54. As per contract of employment for Indian pilots, it is being stated that guaranteed 70 hours will be payable to pilots if actual ying is more than 40 hours. Due to unavoidable circumstances ying allowance for guaranteed 70 hours were paid towards pilots despite their actual ying hours are less then 40 hours or even nil. Company is in the process to review all such cases and shall initiate for approval of such appropriate authority for relaxation or recovery proceeding after completion of review process.

55. The company can buy the rotational leave from expatriate pilots subject to the consent of the pilot to meet the operational requirements. The Board of Directors of the company in their 146th meeting held on 21st March 2017 noted and conveyed the encouragement of buying leaves of expatriate pilots. The procedural deviation in some cases regarding approvals of payments is being regularised.

56. AASL has accounted revenue on own coupons basis. AASL does not have its own reservation/ booking system. Air India's inventory (Ticket stock) is being used under numeric code 098 for sales and refunds of passenger tickets on AASL ights/sectors. Besides, tickets may be issued on their respective inventories for AASL sectors by any IATA/ applicable NCH (non clearing house) airlines before or on 31st March 2018 for travel on after 1st April 2018. Therefore, any collection on this account is retained by respective carriers and accordingly no Advance Pax Receipt is ascertainable and recorded in the books.

57. Capital Management:

The objective of the company is to maximize the shareholders' value by maintaining an optimum capital structure. Management monitors the return on capital as well as the debt equity ratio and makes necessary adjustments in the capital structure for the development of the business.

During the nancial year ended 31 March 2018, no signicant changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes relating to the management of the Company's capital structure.

59. Financial Risk Management Objective and Policies:

a. The company has exposure to following risks arising from nancial instruments:

i. Credit Risk

ii. Liquidity Risk

iii. Market Risk – a. Foreign Currency, and

b. Interest Rate

The Company's principal nancial liabilities comprise of loan and borrowings, trade and other payables and derivatives. The main purpose of these nancial liabilities is to nance receivable, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.

The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company's senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company's senior management is supported by a treasury team. The treasury team provides assurance to the Company's senior management that the company's nancial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedure and that nancial risks are identied, measured and managed in accordance with the Company's policies and risk objective. All derivative activities for risk management purposes are carried out by specialist teams that have the appropriate skills, experience and supervision. It is the Company's policy that no trading in derivative for speculative purpose may be undertaken. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which summarized below:

(i) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of nancial loss to the company if a customer or counter party to a nancial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligation.

The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its investing activities, including deposits with banks and nancial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other nancial instruments.

The maximum exposure to the credit at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables. Trade receivables are typically unsecured are derived from revenue earned from customers .The Company does monitor the economic environment in which it operates. The Company manages its credit risk through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring credit worthiness of customers to which the Company brands credit terms in the normal course of the business.

The company sells majority of its passenger service against deposits made by agents (customers) and through online channels.

On adoption of Ind AS 109, the company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivable. The provision matrix takes into account available internal credit risk factors such as the Company's historical experience for customers. Based on the business environment in which the company operates, management considers that the trade receivable (other than receivables from government departments) are in default (credit impaired) if the payments are more than 36 months past due.

AASL

134

st Trade receivable as at year end primarily includes Rs 801.49 Million (31 March 2017; Rs 1046.31 Million 1 April 2016; Rs 1250.73 Million) relating to revenue generated from passenger services.

The Companies exposure to credit risk for trade receivables is as follows:

Balance at the end of the Year 801.49 1,046.32

(ii) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difculty in meeting the obligation associated with its nancial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another nancial asset.

The Company's approach to manage Liquidity is to have sufcient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed circumstances, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.

The Company believes that its liquidity position, including cash (including unencumbered bank deposit and excluding interest accrued but not due), anticipated future internally generated funds from operations, and its fully available, revolving undrawn credit facility of Rs. Nil (31

stMarch 2017: Rs nil 1 April 2016 Rs Nil) will enable it to meet its future known obligation in the ordinary course of business. However, if a liquidity needs were to arise, the Company believes it has access to nancing arrangement with parent company, which should enable it to meet its ongoing capital, operating, and liquidity requirement. The Company will continue to consider various borrowing or leasing options to maximize liquidity and supplement cash requirement as necessary.

AASL

135

The Company's liquidity management process as monitored by management includes the following:

l Day to day funding, managed by monitoring future cash ows to ensure that requirement can be met.

l Maintaining rolling forecast of the Company's liquidity position on the basis of expected cash ows.

l Maintaining diversied credit lines.

(iii) Market risk

Market risk is that the fair value and future cash ows of nancial instrument will uctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises two type of risk namely: currency risk and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposure within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

a. Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash ows of a nancial instrument will uctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company's borrowings with oating interest rates.

The exposure the company's borrowings to interest rate changes as reported to the management at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

b. Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the future cash ows of a nancial instrument will uctuate

because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The company is exposed to the effects of

uctuation in the prevailing foreign currency rates on its nancial position and cash ows.

Exposure arises primarily due to exchange rate uctuation between the functional

currency and other currencies from the company's operating, investing and nancing

activities.

60. Standards Issued but not effective:

Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign Currency transactions and advance considerations:

On March 28, 2018, The Ministry of Corporate Affairs notied the Companies (Indian Accounting

Standards) Rules, 2018 containing appendix B to IND AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance

consideration which claries the date of transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rates to
