HIGHLIGHTS

PROFIT FOR THE YEAR

Profit for the year ended 31 December 2019 is US$23,169,069 (Earnings per Share US$ 0.11068 per Share) (2018: US$ 21,326,491 (Earnings per Share US$ 0.10188 per Share)).

NET ASSET VALUE ('NAV')

The NAV was US$ 1.03041 per share at 31 December 2019 (2018: US$1.02169). The NAV excluding the financial

effects of the swaps was US$ 1.04176 per Share at 31 December 2019 (2018: US$ 1.02100).

Although the fair values of the derivatives will move over their terms, at maturity the derivatives will reduce to nil. The NAV excluding swap liabilities is therefore presented to provide what the Directors consider to be a more relevant assessment of the Group's net asset position.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

I am pleased to present Shareholders with the Annual Report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2019.

It is difficult to comment on the 2019 trading year without starting from the momentous changes to the airline market following the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus pandemic in the first quarter of 2020.

The outlook for the airline industry for 2020 with a 2019 lens remained positive, however the airline industry as a whole has been substantially impacted by the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus. The extent of the international governmental response has led to the virtual suspension of international travel for as yet an undefined period. This has and will put substantial pressure on airlines ability to fund near term operations. The extent and the duration of the down turn remains difficult to assess. With revenues effectively stopped there is substantial pressure on airlines to review and challenge their current operational financing - this includes our lessees.

As noted in the announcement on 2 March 2020, NAS requested a temporary suspension of lease payments with effect from March 2020 until the end of June 2020. NAS has ongoing negotiations with the Norwegian government for the provision of state aid and that on 19 March 2020 the Norwegian government issued a press release indicating its willingness to extend loan guarantees of up to three billion NOK to Norwegian subject to certain terms and conditions. In these circumstances, the Board has opted to reserve its position under the two leases until there is greater clarity as to how these negotiations develop and the Board and the Company's asset manager, DS Aviation, is prioritising discussions with Norwegian in order to determine whether and on what basis it may be able to meet its obligations to the Company under the leases for the Assets.

The Board and the Company's asset manager, is also discussing the situation with Norddeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale, on behalf of the banks providing lending to the Company and its subsidiaries in respect of the Assets. The Board has also taken the precautionary steps of appointing advisers and implementing preliminary initiatives with a view to protecting the value of the Assets.

On 3 April 2020 the Company announced that given the absence of immediate clarity as to the basis upon which the situation will be resolved, and in order to place the Company in the best possible position in its discussions with its lenders, the Board has suspended the payment of dividends with immediate effect and until further notice. Maintaining an appropriate level of liquidity is a key priority given the current challenges.

On 9 April 2020, the Company announced the request from Thai that the Company consider affording them a temporary relaxation of their lease payment obligations to the Company in light of the ongoing Covid-19 crisis. Thai has emphasised that it remains fully committed to its obligations, and to date it has made all payments due to the Company in full and in a timely fashion up to and including 9 April 2020. The Company, with the support of the Asset Manager, has actively engaged with Thai and agreed certain concessions to Thai, which include a rent deferral arrangement (which began on 29 April 2020) in an aggregate amount of approximately US$ 3.4m. The deferred amounts (with interest thereon) are due to be repaid in 12 equal monthly instalments commencing at end of each respective deferral period.

The situations identified above with regard to NAS and Thai and their resolution, have been determined by the Directors to be a material uncertainty that may cast doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern (see the Directors Report pages 24 to 31). The Directors have notwithstanding this material uncertainty concluded on the viability of the Company (see Directors Report pages 29 to 31).

The Company has available cash projected at the end of April 2020 after making all bank payments due in excess of US$ 8m and in certain circumstances access to the three months of security payments paid by both lessees.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT (CONTINUED)

The focus of the Company is to prioritise the preservation of the Company's long-term financial stability, although the challenges facing the Company are significant.

The Company's Annual General Meeting ("AGM") is currently scheduled for 10 July 2020.

Both our lessees continued to meet their lease obligations throughout 2019. Both lessees successfully implemented cost cutting measures during the year. There were no material incidents to bring to the attention of Shareholders concerning the aircraft and inspections have revealed no matters of concern . As has been previously reported both lessees have aircraft which are grounded and awaiting engine refurbishment following the well publicised Rolls Royce issues with the low pressure turbine('LPT') blades on their Trent 1000 engines.

The Earnings per Share for the year was US$ 0.11068 per share compared to US$ 0.10188 per share for last year. All four dividends for the year ended 31 December 2019 were declared and paid and the Company continued to meet its annual dividend target of US$ 0.09 per share for 2019. The net asset value per share at the year end was US$ 1.03041 compared to US$ 1.02169.

Operating revenues for Norwegian Air Shuttle ("NAS") in 2019 increased by 8% compared to the previous year and operating expenses reduced by 3%. NAS had turned its focus from growth to profitability during the year and a cost saving programme has been implemented, along with several other additional measures to increase liquidity and reduce capital commitments. A capital raise of NOK 2,500 million was successfully completed during the period which was planned to fund NAS throughout 2020. NAS continued to be affected by the Trent 1000 engine issues and the worldwide grounding of B737MAX aircraft, and compensation has been sought from Boeing and Rolls- Royce.

During 2019, the profitability for Thai Airways International Plc ("Thai") further deteriorated and operating revenues decreased by 8% compared to last year. Operating expenses decreased by 6% during the year and there is continued focus on reducing costs further. Thai has faced a number of challenges in the year including the Covid- 19 virus outbreak in China, higher gearing and lack of profitability. It has also had Trent 1000 engine issues. A new CFO and Chairman for Thai are now in place, providing direction and continuity for the company. The CEO has stressed the importance of the business rehabilitation plan and the necessary support by airline staff to optimise the cost basis, to improve revenues and to return to profitability.

I would like to thank our Investors for their continued support in the Company. My fellow Directors and I are available via our Company Secretary, whose details can be found at the end of this report.

Covid-19 Pandemic

The Covid-19 virus was first identified at Wuhan in China at the end of December 2019 but then continued to spread to neighbouring countries. As the virus arrived in Europe and all other continents, the Covid-19 outbreak turned into a global pandemic.

The impact on airlines varies depending on route network, customer base and place of business but the impact on the whole airline industry is significant. At the outset, Chinese and Asian carriers were assumed to be the most affected but currently the negative impact on European Airlines is greater, although airlines worldwide are facing challenging and potentially existential times.

The number of stored aircraft is increasing rapidly; by way of example the number of stored aircraft went up by over 1,000 within a single day (31stMarch to 1stApril 2020). More and more airlines are completely grounding their fleet, and in particular those carriers with no freighter business. The demand for cargo flights itself is strong as the volume of belly freight opportunities falls away with the decrease of passenger flights. Some airlines, amongst others Lufthansa and Aegean, are using passenger aircraft to transport cargo and urgently required medical equipment and protective clothing.

By the end of March 2020, IATA have forecast that due to the Covid-19 pandemic, global demand for passenger air traffic will decrease by 38 per cent in 2020 and 71 per cent in the second quarter 2020 compared to the comparable periods in 2019. Passenger revenues are expected to decrease by 68 per cent and USD 61 billion of cash being burned in the second quarter 2020. The Airports Council International (ACI World) expects that the recovery period may last until the end of 2021.

ASSET MANAGER'S REPORT (CONTINUED)

Outlook & Conclusion

The airline business is a cyclical business and sensitive to external shocks, currently being reinforced by the Covid- 19 pandemic. Previously burdens on airlines caused through the worldwide Boeing 737MAX fleet grounding and the Trent 1000 issues will be trivial in 2020 by comparison as more than half of the passenger fleet is already considered as stored with the number significantly increasing. Even if the spread of coronavirus cases reduces and travel bans are gradually lifted, it will take time until capacity and numbers of passenger aircraft will be on pre- Covid-19 levels.

Compared to other industries and sectors, airlines operate in a very competitive environment, their profit margins are low and their operating costs significant. The chart below shows, that fixed costs, semi-fixed costs and crew expenses amount for nearly 50% of total operating costs. Most of these costs cannot be avoided in the short-term and as revenue streams are currently marginal or non-existent, their financial buffer will be used up shortly. According to IATA, an average airline has an amount of cash and cash equivalents for about two months. This indicates that the industry will heavily rely on governmental support.

Not only current travel restrictions and closures of tourist related infrastructure but also the decrease in manufacturing and retail industries and the resulting lay-off of employees might contribute to an economic recession which in turn will impact the recovery of the airline industry. At the current stage, it is impossible to make any reliable or resilient statement on the total impact of the Covid-19 pandemic or its further development. However, from a historical point of view, the airline industry has proven to be resilient and has recovered from all previous crises and external shocks relatively quickly.

Joint venture with China Construction Bank Leasing (CCB) assumed to reduce capital commitments between 2020 and 2023 by about NOK 14 billion
Restructuring of order book supposed to reduce CapEx by NOK 22 billion in 2019 to 2020
Sale of 24 aircraft with deliveries in 2019 and 2020 assumed to have a net liquidity effect of about NOK 2 billion
Sale of shares in Norwegian Finans Holding ASA for an amount of about NOK 2 billion with an estimated positive effect of about NOK 900 million on Norwegian´s cash position
Extension of two unsecured bonds by two years (Norwegian´s slots at London- Gatwick Airport functioning as security)
Successful completed capital raise of NOK 2,500 million through a private placement and a convertible bond issue of USD 150 million;pre-Covid-19 intended to leave Norwegian fully funded throughout 2020

NEXT (Norwegian Excelling Together) to generate value of NOK 1.5 billion in 2020 focuses on six workstreams: Network, people, product & revenue management, operational performance, cost reductions and value proposition
Covid-19global pandemic will significantly negatively affect airline´s operations and financials; total impact unknown
Operation of repatriation flights and several routes in the Nordics, subsidised by the government to ensure connectivity to remote areas
Minimisation of cash burn
Deferral of scheduled aircraft delivery

Current challenges resulting from Covid-19 pandemic

Existing liquidity risk (e.g. increased receivables due to constraints from credit card institutions and financing of aircraft deliveries) further increased as costs cannot be reduced by the same amount as revenue streams fall away
Norwegian has requested a forbearance period with its main creditors (lessors and banks) until at least the end of June 2020
Government offers support package in three tranches (NOK 300m, NOK 1.2bn, NOK 1.5bn) totalling NOK 3.0bn (USD 286m); each subject to certain conditions
oNorwegian met requirements for the first tranche which had been approved (raising additional NOK 30m (USD 2.9m) funding through banks)…
oNorwegian is working on approval for the second tranche (required support from banks and lessors through forbearance) …
o…if successful, Norwegian will work on meeting the requirements of tranche 3 (increasing the equity ratio: e.g. through convertible bonds issued in November 2019 and other measurement)
85% of flight schedule cancelled and 7,300 employees temporarilylaid-off
High exposure on transatlantic network and dependent on development of the pandemic in the U.S.
Uncertainty about when and to which extend travel restrictions will be lifted

Opportunities post-Covid-19 pandemic

Potential increase inlow-cost carriers´ overall market share: passengers are historically more price-sensitive during economic downturns or recession
Launch of NEXT (Norwegian Excelling Together) with the target of NOK 4,000 million improvement of the run rate EBITDAR within the next two years
Joint venture with China Commerial Bank
B737MAX deliveries on hold result in a reduced estimated CapEx of USD 1.4 billion for 2020
Partnership with U.S.low-cost carrier JetBlue starting summer 2020: Norwegian gains access to 40 U.S., Latin American and Caribbean destinations and JetBlue gains access to Norwegian´s transatlantic flights and twenty intra-European routes (Letter of Intent signed in October 2019). However the extent and timing of such links is entirely dependent on Norwegian's financing situation and in particular the recovery of transatlantic flights.

Comments & conclusions

2019 was a year of changes and restructuring including the step-down of the airline founder Bjorn Kjos and the interim appointment as CEO of the CFO Geir Karlsen. After being initially doubtful and sceptical, it seems that the airline´s perception in the market became more positive and confident than it had been a year ago.

The reduced capacity growth, particularly if comparing the second half of 2019 with the previous year, proves the change in strategy. To grow a business, it is generally necessary to make investments: in the case of Norwegian it was to the expense of the financial stability. The new strategy and the earlier listed and implemented measurements show that the airline is aware of the risk and the need to address it. Particularly, the completed extension of the two bonds and the raise in capital were key to more financial headroom. Related to the previous growth strategy, the equity ratio significantly decreased over time and the downward trend continued in cycles. The increase of the equity ratio in the third quarter 2019 seemed be the beginning of an upward trend. Although the equity ratio in the fourth quarter being lower, as this is low season for European carriers, it was above 2018 fourth quarter levels (IFRS 16 further lowered the equity ratio in 2019 compared to the previous years). At year´s end, Norwegian Air Shuttle was in a significant stronger position than at the beginning 2019. Although the carrier states a net loss in 2019, Norwegian succeeded on the operational level, proving the strategy change and implemented measurements are paying off.

With most of the fleet currently stored due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engine issues and the worldwide grounding of B737MAX aircraft became less important. However, once returning to pre-Covid-19 operational levels, it would be supportive but remains unknown for the airline if these issues had been resolved.

The total impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on airlines and therefore on Norwegian is unknown at the current stage. It is obvious that the impact is significant and the economic survival, not only for Norwegian but for a majority of the airlines worldwide, depends on governmental and stakeholders´ support. Norwegian is severely affected by this pandemic through no fault of its own. The commitment of the Norwegian government to offer conditional support packages to Norwegian, SAS and Wideroe provides a backdrop of support.

The airline outlook for 2020 include amongst others the following:

Agreed replacement of 17 aircraft after review of2019-2026 aircraft acquisition plan
Reduction of retained earnings by 2022
Increase in customer satisfaction and ranking among the world´s top five airlines
Implementation of Financial Reporting Standard No. 9 (Financial Instruments) and No. 16 (Leases)

Current challenges resulting from Covid-19 pandemic

Thai Airways had been one of the first airlines significantly affected by the pandemic as the carrier (including Thai Smile) has an exposure of 95 weekly flights to nine Chinese destinations
After Thailand declared a state of emergency starting 26thMarch 2020, Thai Airways suspended all international flights
oTemporary grounding of 69 aircraft
oDomestic flights transferred to Thai Smile
oThai operates repatriation flights and cargo services
oMajority of employees granted leave until end of May 2020 with salary cuts of 10 to 50 per cent
Liquidity risk deriving from increasing debt to equity ratio and lack of profitability
According to Thailand´s deputy prime minister Somkid Jatusripitak, the government would support the carrier if necessary

Opportunities post-Covid-19 pandemic

Tourism stimulation measures by the government (e.g. waived visa on arrival fees)
Committed credit line of THB 13.5bn (USD 453 million) at the end of 2019
Submission of2020-2025 rehabilitation plan to Board of Directors early 2020 to return to profitability and continuously improve service quality
Thai Smile will become a connecting partner of Star Alliance in 2020

Comments & conclusions

Thai Airways have struggled to return to profitability after low-cost competition increased. For the financial year 2019, the carrier stated an operating and net loss with no improvement compared to the previous year. However, the fourth quarter showed some significant improvement compared to the same quarter in 2018 and it might have been a first step to a turn-around.

ASSET MANAGER'S REPORT (CONTINUED)

Thai Airways International PCL (continued)

Comments & conclusions (continued)

The flag carrier of Thailand is dependent on the tourism sector, particularly on the in-bound tourism and vulnerable to external shocks such as epidemics, riots, natural disasters or the downturn of originating passengers´ economies. Chinese tourists count for the biggest share of foreign tourists travelling to Thailand, and both the US- China trade war and the unrest in Hong Kong had a negative impact on Thai´s performance in 2019. As a consequence of this correlation, Thai Airways had been affected from the beginning by the outbreak of Covid-19 in China. After it had turned into a global pandemic with a growing number of states, including Thailand, imposing travel restrictions or closing airports for commercial operations. Thai Airways grounded most of its fleet at the end of March 2020. As the first quarter is high season for Asian carriers, the flight cancellations will strongly affect Thai´s revenue streams and operating results in 2020.

Nevertheless, Thai Airways needs to prepare itself for the post-Covid-19 period. It is essential for the carrier re- adopting and implementing measurements to at least stabilise the leverage as well as to increase revenue streams which had been weak before the pandemic. Restructuring is a necessary move and a strict focus on the Transformation Plan 2020 (including the objectives form the Mantra and Brother & Sister model) might be a first step again to generate synergies and identify and explore additional sources of revenue generation supporting the return to profitability. The ongoing Trent 1000 issues limiting Thai Airways´ capacity growth in 2019 might currently be trivial until operational levels return to pre-Covid-19 levels.

The majority ownership by the government seems currently to be of advantage; particularly as tourism is a major source of income for the country with both infrastructure and transportation routes being crucial factors to support this economic sector.

Assets & Operations

Trent 1000 issues

The availability of Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 spare engines and the bottleneck of shop visit slots to have impacted airlines´ Boeing 787 fleets as some of their aircraft had been temporarily stored, including aircraft of Thai Airways and Norwegian Air Shuttle awaiting the LPT remedy:

Aircraft TQC stored since 29thSeptember 2019 at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (Thailand)
Aircraft TQD stored since 6thDecember 2019 at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (Thailand)
Aircraft LNA stored since 27thMay 2019 at Glasgow-Prestwick Airport (United Kingdom)
Aircraft LNB stored since 17thSeptember 2019 at Glasgow-Prestwick Airport (United Kingdom)

The temporary storage has not released Norwegian Air Shuttle or Thai Airways from paying lease rentals and corresponding maintenance reserve amounts.

Although for some of the above aircraft in-service dates were scheduled in accordance with Trent 1000 spare engines availability, it is very likely that all four aircraft will remain stored at least throughout the Covid-19 pandemic related restrictions.

Comments and Conclusions

The order and delivery numbers emphasise that the Dreamliner Boeing 787 aircraft is favoured by many airlines from different regions and different business strategies. As new customers placed orders in 2019 and Lufthansa even decided for Trent 1000 engines, it seems there is confidence in Rolls-Royce to fix the known problems and the capacity bottleneck. In an economic environment, it is possible that there might be a temporary preference towards the smaller types within an aircraft family. This may lead to greater interest in the B787-8 series aircraft compared to the larger 9 and 10 series variants. Moreover, the temporarily suspension of the B787 production in Everett due to the Covid-19 pandemic (which may also limit production at the Boeing South Carolina factory) will set back the B787 delivery timetable for 2020 and thereafter. It is though also possible that given the extent of airline fleet groundings that they might welcome any delay in new production deliveries.

ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Year ended 31 December 2019

DIRECTORS' REPORT

The Directors present their Annual Report and Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for DP Aircraft I Limited for the year ended 31 December 2019.

Principal Activity and Review of the Business

The Company's principal activity is to purchase, lease and then sell Boeing 787-8 Aircraft (the 'Assets'). The Company wholly owns six subsidiaries, DP Aircraft Guernsey I Limited, DP Aircraft Guernsey II Limited, DP Aircraft Guernsey III Limited, DP Aircraft Guernsey IV Limited, DP Aircraft Ireland Limited and DP Aircraft UK Limited (together the 'Group').

The investment objective of the Group is to obtain income and capital returns for the Company's shareholders by acquiring, leasing and then, when the Board considers it appropriate, selling the Assets.

The Company has made its investments in the Assets through its subsidiaries.

The Ordinary Shares of the Company are currently trading on the Specialist Fund Segment of the London Stock Exchange.

Throughout the trading year the lessees have met their lease obligations. Notwithstanding the requirement for the aircraft to be parked during the year for Trent 1000 repairs there are no incidents to bring to the attention of Shareholders concerning the operation of the aircraft. Inspections have revealed no matters of concern. The Company's debt has been financed throughout the year. A more detailed review of the business and prospects is contained in detail in the Asset Manager's Report on pages 8 to 22. Rolls Royce are continuing to address the Trent 1000 engine warranty related issues which have not impacted on the Company's revenues.

Results and Dividends

The profit for the year ended 31 December 2019 was US$ 23.17m (year ended 31 December 2018 US$ 21.33m).

The Company aims to provide Shareholders with an attractive total return comprising income, from distributions through the period of the Company's ownership of the Assets, and capital, upon any sale of the Assets. The Company targets a quarterly distribution in February, May, August and November of each year. The target distribution is US$ 0.0225 per Share per quarter. Four quarterly dividends have been paid during the year ended 31 December 2019. All the dividends paid to date have met the US$ 0.0225 per share target. The target dividends are targets only and should not be treated as an assurance or guarantee of performance or a profit forecast. On 3 April 2020, the Company announced a suspension of dividends until further notice.

The debt to equity ratio was 0.88 as at 31 December 2019 (2018: 1.01).

Subsequent Events

Since the start of January 2020, the world has been monitoring and reacting to Covid-19. As of early April 2020, the virus has spread across the globe, with major outbreaks across China, the Middle East, Europe and America, resulting in widespread restrictions on the ability of people to travel, socialise and leave their homes. Global financial markets have reacted sharply to this pandemic, with concerns regarding the economic impact this may have on a global scale, and which is expected to be material for the airline sector, and by extension the aircraft leasing sector.

NAS has failed to make any payments due under the NAS Aircraft Leases since March 2020 (in an aggregate amount of US$ 4.98m). The Company has agreed certain concessions to Thai, which included a rent deferral arrangement (which began on 29 April 2020) in an aggregate amount of approximately US$ 3.40m. The deferred amounts (with interest thereon) are due to be repaid in 12 equal monthly instalments commencing at end of each respective deferral period.

24Page

DP AIRCRAFT I LIMITED 2019

ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Year ended 31 December 2019

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)

Subsequent Events (continued)

The Company is currently negotiating certain proposed concessions to NAS, which may include (i) a rent deferral arrangement (ii) a power by hour arrangement for part of the remaining term of the lease (iii) a modified rental stream for part of the remaining term of the lease (which may include a release of certain amounts already due from NAS) and other lease modifications or concessions, as well as other forms of compensation for the Company. No formal agreement on these concessions has yet been concluded.

The Directors, with the support of the Asset Manager, have engaged with its lenders following the non-receipt of rentals from NAS and the request for concessions from both NAS and Thai. The Company has communicated the terms of concessions agreed to Thai with its Thai Lenders. The Directors believe that a modification to the terms of the NAS Loans (which may include an interest-only period, a re-profiling of future repayment obligations or other concession) will be necessary to ensure that the Company can continue to operate following any concessions that may be agreed with NAS without giving rise to a default under the Loans. No agreement on the form of any such modification to the Loans has yet been concluded.

It is therefore not possible to fully estimate the financial effect that these events may have on the Company's financial results or position. The Directors, with input from the Asset Manager, will continue to engage with NAS and its lenders and to monitor the impact of the virus on the activities of the Company.

Substantial Shareholdings

The directors note the following substantial interests in the Company's share capital as at 31 December 2019 (10% and more shareholding):

M&G Investment Management 52,158,421 - 24.92%

As at the date of this report there have been no significant changes in the above list of substantial shareholdings.

The Board

The Board comprises three non-executive directors each of whom are independent.

Jeremy Thompson was appointed as Senior Independent Director (the 'SID') on 1 April 2016.

During the year ended 31 December 2019 the Board had a breadth of experience relevant to the Company and a balance of skills experience and age.

The Board recognises the importance of diversity and will evaluate applicants to fill vacant positions regardless of gender and without prejudice. Applicants will be assessed on their broad range of skills, expertise and industry knowledge, and business and other expertise. In view of the long-term nature of the Company's investments, the Board believes that a stable board composition is fundamental to run the Company properly. The Board has not stipulated a maximum term of any directorship.

As the Company is not a FTSE 350 company, Directors were not subject to annual election by the shareholders nor for the requirement for the external audit contract to be put out to tender every 10 years. Historically, the Directors had offered themselves by rotation for re-election at each annual general meeting ('AGM'). Jeremy Thompson was re-elected at the AGM on 8 July 2019. Jonathan Bridel is offering himself for re-election at the forthcoming AGM.

The Directors are on a termination notice of three months.

Directors' Duties and Responsibilities

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the Company's affairs and is responsible for the determination of the investment policy of the Company, resolving conflicts and for monitoring the overall portfolio of investments of the Company. To assist the Board in the day-to-day operations of the Company, arrangements have been put in place for the performance of certain of the day-to-day operations of the Company to third-party service providers, such as the Asset Manager, Administrator and Company Secretary, under the supervision of the Board. The Board receives full details of the Company's assets, liabilities and other relevant information in advance of Board meetings.

The Board undertakes an annual evaluation of its own performance and the performance of its audit committee and individual Directors, to ensure that they continue to act effectively and efficiently and to fulfil their respective duties, and to identify any training requirements. The results of the most recent evaluation have been reviewed by the Chairman and his fellow directors. No significant corporate governance issues arose from this review.

The Board also undertakes an annual review of the effectiveness of the Company's system of internal controls and the safeguarding of shareholders' investments and the Company's assets. At each quarterly meeting the Board will table and review a risk matrix. There is nothing to highlight from the reviews of these reports as at the date of this report.

Board Meetings

The Board meets at least four times a year to consider the business and affairs of the Company for the previous quarter. Between these quarterly meetings the Board keeps in contact by email and telephone as well as meeting to consider specific matters of a transactional nature. There is regular contact with the Secretary.

The Directors are kept fully informed of investment and financial controls and other matters that are relevant to the business of the Company. The Directors also have access, where necessary in the furtherance of their duties, to professional advice at the expense of the Company.

The Board considers agenda items laid out in the Notice and Agenda which are formally circulated to the Board in advance of any meeting as part of the board papers. Such items include but are not limited to; investment performance, share price performance, review of marketing and shareholder communication. The Directors may request any Agenda items to be added that they consider appropriate for Board discussion. In addition, each Director is required to inform the Board of any potential or actual conflict of interest prior to Board discussion. Board meetings are attended by representatives of the Asset Manager. The Company's corporate brokers also attend to assist the Directors in understanding the views of major shareholders about the Company.

Board Meeting attendance

The table below shows the attendance at Board meetings and Audit Committee meetings during the year.

The board also attended committee meetings for the Management Engagement Committee and the Nominations Committee

*Mr Brauns was appointed starting 1 November 2019 thus did not attend any quarterly or ad-hoc board meetings during the 2019 financial year.

Directors' Remuneration

The remuneration of the non-executive directors is reviewed on an annual basis and compared with the level of remuneration for directorships of funds with similar responsibilities and commitments. It was subject to an independent consultant review in 2017.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)

Directors' Remuneration (continued)

In February 2020 the board reviewed the current director fee levels (inclusive of all subsidiaries) and agreed that remuneration levels of directors were set at the correct level, however it was proposed that the Directors remuneration should be increased by annual inflation amount of 3.2% in line with the latest published independent fee survey. This increase was effective from 1 April 2020.

On appointment of Angela Behrend-Görnemann on 1 May 2016, it was agreed to pay her fees at the agreed GBP/EUR exchange rate of 1.30. It has been agreed that Harald Brauns will be paid in GBP.

During the current and prior year each Director received the following remuneration in the form of Director fees from Group companies:

	Year ended	Year ended
	31 December 2019	31 December 2018
	£/€	US$	£/€	US$

		US$ 225,021		US$ 217,517

There are no executive director service contracts in issue.

Remuneration Policy

All directors of the Company are non-executive and therefore there are no incentive or performance schemes. Each director's appointment is subject to an appointment letter and article 24 of the Company's articles of association. Remuneration is paid quarterly in arrears and reflects the experience, responsibility, time, commitment and position on the main board as well as responsibility for sitting on subsidiary boards when required. The Chairman, Audit Chairman (SID) and other committee Chairmen may receive additional remuneration to reflect the increased level of responsibility and accountability. The maximum amount of directors' fees payable by the Company in any one year is currently set at £200,000 in accordance with article 24. Remuneration may if deemed appropriate also be payable for special or extra services if required in accordance with article 24. This is defined as work undertaken in connection with a corporate transaction including a new prospectus to acquire, finance and lease an aircraft and/or engines, managing a default, refinancing, sale or release of aircraft and for defending a takeover bid. This may include reasonable travel time if applicable. The board may appoint an independent consultant to review fees if it is considered an above inflation rise may be appropriate.

Internal Controls and Risk Management Review

The Board is responsible for the Company's system of internal control and for reviewing its effectiveness. The Board confirms that there is an ongoing process for identifying, evaluating and monitoring the significant risks faced by the Company.

28Page

DP AIRCRAFT I LIMITED 2019

ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Year ended 31 December 2019

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)

Internal Controls and Risk Management Review (continued)

The Board carries out an annual review of internal controls including those of the administrator. The internal control systems are designed to meet the Company's particular needs and the risks to which it is exposed. Accordingly, the internal control systems are designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives and by their nature can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against misstatement and loss.

The Directors of the Company clearly define the duties and responsibilities of their agents and advisors. The appointment of agents and advisers is conducted by the Board after consideration of the quality of the parties involved and the Board monitors their ongoing performance and contractual arrangements. Each service provider is reviewed annually, and key risks and operating matters are addressed as part of that review.

Dialogue with Shareholders

All holders of Shares in the Company have the right to receive notice of, and attend, all general meetings of the Company, during which the Directors are available to discuss issues affecting the Company. The Directors are available to enter into dialogue with shareholders and make themselves available for such purpose when reasonably required. The Company believes such communications to be important. Reports are provided to the Board of Directors on shareholders' views about the Company and any issues or concerns they might have.

Board Policy on Tenure and Independence

The Board has not yet formed a policy on tenure, however it does consider the independence of each Director on an annual basis during the performance evaluation process.

Auditor

KPMG, Ireland, Chartered Accountants have indicated their willingness to continue in office. Accordingly, a resolution proposing their reappointment will be submitted at the Company's next annual general meeting.

Going Concern - Material Uncertainty

The Directors have prepared the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 on the going concern basis of preparations. However, the Directors have identified the matters referred to below which indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and that the company may, as a consequence, be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Covid-19 has resulted in widespread restrictions on the ability of people to travel, socialise and leave their homes and is expected to have a material negative effect on the airline sector, and by extension the aircraft leasing sector. The Company leases four (4) Boeing 787 aircraft (the 'Aircraft'), two each to Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA ('NAS') and Thai Airways International ('Thai').

The application of the going concern basis of preparation is dependent upon the Company's aircraft leasing and the related financing activities as described below.

Thai Leases and related Loans

The Thai Leases

During March 2020 Thai formally requested the Company to grant it concessions under the Thai aircraft leases. The Company, with the support of the Asset Manager, has actively engaged with Thai and agreed certain concessions to Thai, which include a rent deferral arrangement (which began on 29 April 2020) in an aggregate amount of approximately US$ 3.40m. The deferred amounts (with interest thereon) are due to be repaid in 12 equal monthly instalments commencing at end of each respective deferral period.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)

Going Concern - Material Uncertainty (continued)

Thai Leases and related Loans (continued)

The Thai Loans (continued)

Note 13 ('Bank Borrowings') describes the loans (the 'NAS Loans' and the 'Thai Loans') obtained by the Group to part-finance the acquisition of the Aircraft. The Company has obligations under the Loans to make scheduled repayments of principal and interest, which are serviced by the receipt of lease payments from Thai and NAS respectively. The Loans are secured by charges over the Aircraft and the underlying leases.

The concessions proposed by the Company to Thai have been communicated to the Thai Loan providers. The Directors expect that under the terms of the concessions granted to Thai the Company will have sufficient liquidity from (i) the lease payments from Thai and (ii) utilising certain of its own funds to continue to meet all of its obligations under the Thai Loans.

Norwegian Leases and related Loans

The NAS Leases

Since March 2020 NAS has failed to make any payments due under the NAS Aircraft Leases (in an aggregate amount of US$ 4.98m to-date). NAS have made significant requests for concessions from its suppliers and financiers including the Company as part of wider re-organisation and recapitalisation plan to ensure that it can continue to trade. The plan includes obtaining funding from the Norwegian Government which is contingent on meeting certain stipulated criteria including converting a large part of its outstanding debt to equity which will require a successful vote from shareholders at its EGM on 4 May 2020. Without Norwegian Government funding (among others) NAS has stated that it will not have the liquidity needed to continue to trade.

The Directors, with the support of the Asset Manager, have actively engaged with NAS in order to determine the extent of any concessions that may be granted under the NAS Leases. The Company is currently negotiating certain proposed concessions to NAS, which may include among other things (i) a rent deferral arrangement, (ii) a power by hour arrangement for part of the remaining term of the lease (iii) a modified rental stream for part of the remaining term of the lease (which may include a release by the Company of certain amounts already due from NAS) and other lease modifications or concessions, as well as other forms of compensation for the Company. No formal agreement on these concessions has yet been concluded.

The NAS Loans

The Company is unlikely to be able to continue to meet its obligations as to principal and interest (currently approximately US$1.45m per month) under the NAS Loans for so long as NAS withhold payments due under the NAS Leases nor will it likely be able to meets its committed obligations under the proposed concessions that may be granted to NAS.

The Directors, with the support of the Asset Manager, have engaged with its NAS lenders following the non- receipt of rentals from NAS and the request for concessions. The Directors have determined that a modification to the terms of the NAS Loans (which may include an interest-only period, a re-profiling of future repayment obligations or other concessions) will be necessary to ensure that the Company can continue to operate following any concessions that may be agreed with NAS without giving rise to a default under the Loans.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)

Going Concern - Material Uncertainty (continued)

Whilst progress has been made, the Directors are uncertain as to the final outcome of these matters. However, on the basis of (i) the continuing availability of the Thai and NAS Loans which have been made available to the Group (with certain Loan concessions), (ii) current cash-flow projections under various scenarios (including certain Aircraft Lease concessions being granted to NAS and Thai) and (iii) having regard to the limited recourse nature of the Loans the Directors believe that it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements under the going concern basis of preparation. No adjustments have been made to the financial statements in the event that the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.

Viability Statement

The Directors regularly consider and assess the viability of the Company and prior to approving these financial statements have conducted an assessment over a three-year period and takes into account the Company's current position and the potential impact of the principal risks outlined below.

In making this statement, the Directors have considered the resilience of the Company the principal risks in relatively severe scenarios whilst taking into account the effectiveness of any mitigating factors. This assessment considered the potential impacts of these risks on the business model, future performance, solvency and liquidity over the period.

These factors were subjected to a review of different scenarios based on the key assumptions underlying the forecast. Where appropriate, this analysis was carried out to evaluate the potential impact of the Company's principal risks actually occurring, primarily non-payment of leases, significant impairment of aircraft values, the impact of Covid-19 and the impact of Brexit. The Board of Directors have also taken into account the investment strategy of the Company and the disclosure made in the Prospectus issued during 2015.

Given the unprecedented circumstances caused by Covid-19, the Directors have reviewed additional scenarios and have included the suspension of dividends where required.

The Directors continue to consider that an investment in the Company should be regarded as long term in nature and is suitable only for sophisticated investors, investment professionals, high net worth bodies corporate, unincorporated associations and partnerships and trustees of high value trusts and private clients (all of whom will invest through brokers), in each case, who can bear the economic risk of a substantial or entire loss of their investment and who can accept that there may be limited liquidity in the Shares.

The Directors regularly review the timeliness of receipt of the aircraft rental income. The Directors consider quarterly consolidated management accounts that include the cash flow required for dividends and for establishing suitable working capital requirements.

The Directors consider that the Notes to the Financial Statements are integral to the support of the Viability Statement. Note 4 discloses the expected rental income up to and after five years. Note 18 contains the expected liability flows and when netted off demonstrates significant net cash inflows, prior to any future dividend declarations under normal circumstances.

Annual General Meeting

The AGM of the Company will be held in Guernsey on 10 July 2020 at East Wing, Trafalgar Court, Les Banques, St Peter Port, Guernsey. The meeting will be held to, inter alia; receive the Annual Report and Audited Consolidated Financial Statements; elect and re-elect Directors; propose the reappointment of the auditor; authorise the Directors to determine the auditor's remuneration; approve the Directors' remuneration and policy; authorise the Company to issue and allot new shares and approve a partial disapplication of the pre-emption rights to allow the Company to issue new shares by way of tap issues.

A Q&A reflecting the questions received and responses provided will be made available on the Company's website at www.dpaircraft.com as soon as practicable following the AGM.

Corporate Governance

The Company is not required to comply with any particular corporate governance codes in the UK or Guernsey (since it is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority ('FCA') or Guernsey Financial Services Commission ('GFSC')) but the Directors take corporate governance seriously and will have regard to relevant corporate governance standards in determining the Company's governance policies including without limitation in relation to corporate reporting, risk management and internal control procedures.

The Directors intend to comply, and ensure that the Company complies, with any obligations under the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 and the Articles to treat shareholders fairly as between themselves.

Directors' Share Dealings

The Board has agreed to adopt and implement the Model Code for Directors' dealings contained in the Listing Rules. The Board will be responsible for taking all proper and reasonable steps to ensure compliance with the Model Code.

Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive ("AIFMD")

In July 2013 the European Alternative Investment Fund Management Directive ('AIFMD') came into effect with transitional provisions until July 2014. The Company has been determined to be a 'self-managed' Guernsey Alternative Investment Fund ('AIF') and as such will be treated as a non-EU AIFM for the purposes of the Directive. The Company has registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (and notified the Guernsey Financial Services Commission) under the AIFMD (Marketing) Rules, 2013.

For a non-EU AIFM that has over EUR 100m (equivalent to US$ 114m at 31 December 2019) of net assets under management and also utilises leverage, certain Annual Investor Disclosures are required.

For the purpose of AIFMD, the Company is a Self-Managed Alternative Investment Fund Manager with assets above the EUR 100m (equivalent to US$ 114m at 31 December 2019), with leverage, threshold.

AIFMD does not prescribe use of any one particular accounting standard. However, the financial statements must be audited by an auditor empowered by law to audit the accounts in accordance with the EU Statutory Audit Directive.

The required disclosures for investors are contained within the Financial Conduct Authority checklist and the Company's compliance therewith can be found in Appendix 1 to these financial statements.

Brexit

The Directors do not expect that the recent UK withdrawal from the EU will have a significant impact on the Company given the nature of its operations. However, they continue to monitor the airline industry for any potential impact on the Company.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

On the following pages, we present the Audit Committee (the 'Committee') Report for 2019, setting out the Committee's structure and composition, principal duties and key activities during the year. The Committee has reviewed the Company's financial reporting, the independence and effectiveness of the independent auditor (the 'auditor') and the internal control and risk management systems of service providers.

The Board is satisfied that for the period under review and thereafter the Committee has recent and relevant commercial and financial knowledge sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Committee's remit.

Structure and Composition

The Committee is chaired by Mr Thompson and its other members are Mr Bridel and Mr Brauns (from 1 November 2019). Mrs Behrend-Görnemann was a member of the Committee until her resignation on 31 October 2019. The Committee operates within clearly defined terms of reference.

The Committee conducts formal meetings not less than three times a year. There were four meetings during the period under review and multiple ad-hoc meetings. All Directors were present and forming part of the quorum. The auditor is invited to attend those meetings at which the annual and interim reports are considered.

Principal Duties

The role of the Committee includes:

monitoring the integrity of the published financial statements of the Group;
keeping under review the consistency and appropriateness of accounting policies on a year to year basis.
satisfying itself that the annual financial statements, the interim statement of financial results and any other major financial statements issued by the Group follow International Financial Reporting Standards and give a true and fair view of the Group and its subsidiaries' affairs; matters raised by the external auditors about any aspect of the financial statements or of the Group's internal control, are appropriately considered and, if necessary, brought to the attention of the board, for resolution;
monitoring and reviewing the quality and effectiveness of the auditor and their independence;
considering and making recommendations to the Board on the appointment, reappointment, replacement and remuneration of the Group's auditor;
monitoring and reviewing the internal control and risk management systems of the service providers; and
considering at least once a year whether there is a need for an internal audit function.

The complete details of the Committee's formal duties and responsibilities are set out in the Committee's terms of reference, a copy of which can be obtained from the Secretary.

Independent Auditor

The Committee is also the forum through which the auditor reports to the Board of Directors. The Committee reviews the scope and results of the audit, its cost effectiveness and the independence and objectivity of the auditor, with particular regard to the terms under which it is appointed to perform non audit services including fees. The Committee has established pre-approval policies and procedures for the engagement of KPMG, Ireland ('KPMG') to provide non-audit services. KPMG has been the independent auditor from the date of the initial listing on the Specialist Fund Segment of the London Stock Exchange. The Audit Partner for the Company is Killian Croke and an Audit Partner rotation is agreed between KPMG and the Audit Committee to take place during 2021.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE (CONTINUED)

Independent Auditor (continued)

The audit fees proposed by the auditor each year are reviewed by the Committee taking into account the Group's structure, operations and other requirements during the year and the Committee make appropriate recommendations to the Board. The Committee considers KPMG to be independent of the Company. The Committee also met with the external auditors without the Asset Manager or Administrator being present so as to provide a forum to raise any matters of concern in confidence.

Evaluations or Assessments made during the year

The following sections discuss the assessments made by the Committee during the year:

Significant Areas of Focus for the Financial Statements

The Committee's review of the interim and annual financial statements focused on:

Valuation of the Company's Assets
Lease and loan cash flows
The financial statements giving a true and fair view and being prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008
Going concern and the viability statement including the creation of scenario planning and review

The Company's investment in the four aircraft represents substantially all of the net assets of the Company and as such is the biggest factor in relation to the accuracy of the financial statements. The 31 December 2019 valuations of the four aircraft have been independently obtained from three independent expert valuers (all certified by the International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading 'ISTAT'). Two of the independent expert valuers included encumbered economic full-life valuations in their valuations. These were in excess of the encumbered depreciated value indicated within the Company's Statement of Financial Position. An encumbered valuation assesses the value of an aircraft with a lease attached and therefore incorporates the value of the revenue stream into the aircraft valuation. As a result of the valuations obtained, the Directors determined that no impairment charge was required and resolved to adhere to current estimation for residual value and useful economic life of the aircraft for the purpose of calculating depreciation.

Effectiveness of the Audit

The Committee had formal meetings with KPMG during the period under review:

Before the start of the audit to discuss formal planning, discuss any potential issues and agree the scope that will be covered, and
After the audit work was concluded to discuss any significant matters such as those stated above.

The Board considered the effectiveness and independence of KPMG by using a number of measures, including but not limited to:

the audit plan presented to them before the start of the audit;
the audit results report;
changes to audit personnel;
the auditor's own internal procedures to identify threats to independence;
feedback from both the Asset Manager and Administrator.

Internal Audit

There is no internal audit function. As all of the Directors are non-executive and all of the Company's administration functions have been delegated to independent third parties, the Audit Committee considers that there is no need for the Company to have an internal audit function. However, this matter is reviewed periodically.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE (CONTINUED)

Conclusion and Recommendation

After reviewing various reports such as the operation and risk management framework and performance reports from the directors and the Asset Manager, liaising where necessary with KPMG, and assessing the significant areas of focus for the financial statements listed on pages 37 to 39, the Committee is satisfied that the financial statements appropriately address the critical judgements and key estimates (both in respect to the amounts reported and the disclosures).

The Committee is also satisfied that the significant assumptions used for determining the value of assets and liabilities have been appropriately scrutinised, challenged and are sufficiently robust. The independent auditor reported to the Committee that no material misstatements were found in the course of its work. Furthermore, the Administrator confirmed to the Committee that they were not aware of any material misstatements including matters relating to presentation.

The Committee confirms that it is satisfied that the independent auditor has fulfilled its responsibilities with diligence and professional scepticism. Following the completion of the financial statements review process on the effectiveness of the independent audit and the review of audit services, the Committee will recommend that KPMG be reappointed at the next Annual General Meeting.

For any questions on the activities of the Committee not addressed in the foregoing, a member of the Committee will attend each Annual General Meeting to respond to such questions.

ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Year ended 31 December 2019

STATEMENT OF PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Geopolitical and economic risks

The Company leases aircraft to customers in multiple jurisdictions exposing it to (i) many and varying economic, social, legal and geopolitical risks, (ii) instability in key markets and (iii) global health pandemics. The Directors continue to monitor the development of Covid-19 (see 'Subsequent events') and are continuing to assess the potential impact on the Company. Exposure to multiple jurisdictions may adversely affect the Company's future performance, position and growth potential. The adequacy and timeliness of the Company's response to emerging risks in these jurisdictions are of critical importance to the mitigation of their potential impact on the Company.

Exposure to the commercial airline industry

As a supplier to and partner of the airline industry, the Group is exposed to the financial condition of the airline industry as it leases all of its aircraft to two commercial airline customers. The financial condition of the airline industry is affected by, among other things, geopolitical events, outbreaks of communicable pandemic diseases and natural disasters, fuel costs and the demand for air travel. To the extent that any of these factors adversely affect the airline industry they may result in (i) downward pressure on lease rates and aircraft values, (ii) higher incidences of lessee defaults, restructuring, and repossessions and (iii) inability to lease aircraft on commercially acceptable terms.

NAS

NAS following an ambitious growth programme and following internal reviews has developed a programme to focus on profitability rather than growth. It has appointed a new CEO with the former CFO and temporary CEO stepping back into his CFO role. NAS have embarked on some route rationalisation and have closed some overseas bases. The company has additionally exited from its Argentinean venture.

The continued grounding of the 737-Max aircraft by Boeing and global certification authorities has been unwelcome but NAS has taken steps to keep capacity in place by deferring the sale of aircraft, leasing aircraft and seeking compensation from Boeing.

NAS has some of its 787 fleet grounded awaiting replacement engines with the low pressure turbine (LPT) blades replaced. The LPT problem impacts all Trent 1000 customers however Rolls Royce's (RR) ability to refurbish engines is limited by their production capabilities. It is likely that the NAS fleet will re-enter service during 2020. NAS has negotiated undisclosed compensation from RR and NAS continues to pay all lease and maintenance in a timely manner.

The impact of the Covid-19 has led to widespread fleet grounding with minimal continuing services. No airline has yet announced when and how operations will restart. BA, for example, have commented that at present it is impossible to forecast the impact of the virus on operations.

Thai Airways

The elections in Thailand are not felt to have impacted the airline industry but these matters are continually monitored. Rolls Royce have recently completed a maintenance agreement with Thai to provide a regional maintenance centre for their engines.

As with NAS some of Thai's 787's are grounded, including both the Company's aircraft, awaiting replacement engines. The timing of replacement engines is unknown but likely to be within 2020. Thai continues to pay all lease and maintenance payments in a timely manner. However, Thai have requested near term lease relief, which the Company is currently reviewing and have commenced discussions with Thai and the Company's lenders.

ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Year ended 31 December 2019

STATEMENT OF PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (CONTINUED)

Thai Airways (continued)

The impact of the Covid-19 is likely to impact passenger numbers for Thai given the reduced Chinese and regional demand.

Covid-19 Impact

As of mid-March 2020, COVID-19 has spread across the globe, with major outbreaks across China, the Middle East, Europe and America, resulting in widespread restrictions on the ability of people to travel, socialise and leave their homes. Global financial markets have reacted sharply to this pandemic, with concerns regarding the economic impact this may have on a global scale, and which is expected to be significant for the airline sector, and by extension the aircraft leasing sector. Subsequent to the year end both Lessee's have requested lease payment relief and given the continuing evolution of, the potential significant impact of, and the uncertainties created by COVID-19 has meant that this new risk has now become the most significant.

Asset risk

The Company's Assets comprise of four Boeing 787-8 aircraft.

The Group bears the risk of re-leasing or selling the aircraft in its fleet at the end of their lease terms. If demand for aircraft decreases market lease rates may fall, and should such conditions continue for an extended period, it could affect the market value of aircraft in the fleet and may result in an impairment charge. The Directors have engaged an asset manager with appropriate experience of the aviation industry to manage the fleet and remarket or sell aircraft as required in order to reduce this risk. Any lasting impact of the Covid-19 situation on both aircraft demand and lease rated are at present unknown.

There is no guarantee that, upon expiry or cessation of the leases, the Assets could be sold or released for an amount that would enable shareholders to realise a capital profit on their investment or to avoid a loss. Costs regarding any future re-leasing of the assets would depend upon various economic factors and would be determinable only upon an individual re-leasing event. Potential reconfiguration costs could in certain circumstances be substantial.

Key personnel risk

The ability of the Company to achieve its investment objective is significantly dependent upon the advice of certain key personnel at DS Aviation GmbH & Co. KG; there is no guarantee that such personnel will be available to provide services to the Company for the scheduled term of the Lease or following the termination of the Lease. However, Key Man clauses within the Asset Management agreement do provide a base line level of protection against this risk.

Credit risk & Counterparty risk

Credit risk is the risk that a significant counterparty will default on its contractual obligations. The Group's most significant counterparties are Norwegian and Thai Airways as lessees and providers of income and Norddeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale ('NordLB') and DekaBank Deutsche Girozentrale ('DekaBank') as holder of the Group's cash and restricted cash. The lessees do not maintain a credit rating. The credit rating of NordLB is A3 (2018: Baa2) and the credit rating of DekaBank is Aa2 (2018: Aa2).

Norwegian's stated strategy of providing low-costlong-haul flights may not be successful; failure of this strategy, or of any other material part of Norwegian's business, may adversely affect Norwegian's ability to comply with its obligations under the leases.

DP AIRCRAFT I LIMITED 2019

ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Year ended 31 December 2019

STATEMENT OF PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (CONTINUED)

Credit risk & Counterparty risk (continued)

There is no guarantee that the business model of Thai Airways will be successful. Failure of any material part of the business model may have an adverse impact on its ability to comply with its obligations under the leases.

Any failure by Norwegian or Thai Airways to pay any amounts when due would have an adverse effect on the Group's ability to comply with its obligations under the loan agreements, could ultimately have an impact on the Company's ability to pay dividends and could result in the lenders enforcing their security and selling the relevant Assets on the market potentially negatively impacting the returns to investors. In mitigation, Norwegian is the second largest airline in Scandinavia and the third largest low-cost airline in Europe and Thai Airways is an International full service carrier.

Liquidity risk

In order to finance the purchase of the Assets, the Group has entered into four separate loan agreements pursuant to which the Group has borrowed an initial amount of US$ 316,600,000 in total. Pursuant to the loan agreements, the lenders are given first ranking security over the Assets. Under the provisions of each of the loan agreements, the Borrowers are required to comply with loan covenants and undertakings. A failure to comply with such covenants or undertakings may result in the relevant lenders recalling the relevant loan. In such circumstances, the Group may be required to remarket the relevant Asset (either sell or enter into a subsequent lease) to repay the outstanding relevant loan and/or re-negotiate the loan terms with the relevant lender.

More detailed explanations of the above risks can be found within note 18 to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 73 to 79 of this report.

Emerging Risks

The Group considers the transaction as an asset based investment in a modern, fuel efficient fleet of liquid, state- of-the-art aircraft assets backed by initial long term lease contracts with reputable airlines. As such, the investment is not intended to serve as a corporate facility to the relevant airline.

Boeing

Company exposure to Boeing in terms of ongoing guarantees and commitments could be negatively impacted with the recent 737-Max groundings and as yet the financial impact upon Boeing in terms of financial compensation and potential loss of orders is not known although it is expected these matters will be resolved during either Q2 or Q3 in 2020.

Rolls Royce

Company exposure to Rolls Royce in terms of ongoing guarantees and commitments could be negatively impacted with the Trent 1000 engine issues and as yet the financial impact upon Rolls Royce in terms of financial compensation, loss of capacity and loss of orders is not known. The Company believes that its engines will actually benefit from the current maintenance and refurbishments under way. Recent announcements by RR's CEO, Warren East have implied that LPT issues are now under control. This has led to some near term rerating of RR as the market responded favourably to his comments. This was prior to the impact of Covid-19 on business operations.

Brexit

With negotiations now commencing to define the exit terms of the UK's agreed departure from the EU it is as yet unknown how these might impact travel.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DP AIRCRAFT I LIMITED

1. Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of DP Aircraft I Limited ("the Company") and subsidiaries (together and hereinafter the "Group") which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019, the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes, comprising significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements

give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2019, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended;
have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS); and
have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Guernsey together with International Ethics Standard Board for Accountants Code of Ethics for professional Accountants (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

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

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 2-a ('Significant Accounting Policies - Basis of Preparation - Going Concern') in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group was not paid certain rental payments when due after the year-end and has received requests for concessions from its lessees. Additionally, Note 2-a indicates that the Directors have engaged with the Groups lenders concerning a modification to the terms of its Loans to avoid a default as a consequence of any concession that may be granted to the lessees. These events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 22 ('Subsequent Events'), indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Groups ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DP AIRCRAFT I LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Valuation of Aircraft and associated aircraft lease premium - $ 401 million (2018: $ 423 million)

Refer to page 55 (accounting policy) and pages 65 to 66 (financial disclosures)

The key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Aircraft and aircraft lease premium make up 89% of total assets (by value). At the end of each reporting period, an impairment assessment is prepared that compares the current market of the lease encumbered aircraft ("recoverable value") to the net book value ("NBV") of the aircraft and aircraft lease premium in line with the relevant accounting standards. If the NBV is not recoverable, a value-in-use calculation is performed, the value-in-use is based on the estimation of expected future cash flows to be generated by the aircraft, discounted to a present value. There is a significant risk relating to the valuation of aircraft given the judgmental nature of the assumptions and inputs that require consideration by the Board of Directors.

The procedures we undertook included but were not limited to:

Obtaining and documenting our understanding of the controls over the valuations of aircraft, including testing the design and implementation of those controls;
Obtained the appraiser valuation reports and we:
1. assessed whether the methodology and assumptions used for determining recoverable amounts for aircraft were applied consistently across the portfolio.
We tested the accuracy of the impairment assessment model via recalculation of the recoverable amount of the assets and tested the completeness of the inputs;
We evaluated and challenged the Board of
1. Directors' key judgements and assumptions in determining the recoverable amounts by:
2. comparing them to evidence obtained through external sources where possible, our industry knowledge and market experience; and;
We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures made by the Group in relation to their description of the judgements, assumptions and estimates made, alongside the adequacy of disclosures made in Note 22 Subsequent events

No material misstatements were noted as part of our testing.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DP AIRCRAFT I LIMITED (CONTINUED)

We have nothing to report on other matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

the Company has not kept proper accounting records; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
we have not received all the information and explanations, which to the best of our knowledge and belief are necessary for the purpose of our audit.

Other Information

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises of the information included in the asset manager's report, chairman's statement, AIFMD checklist, highlights, summary, fact sheet, and the other company information.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

2. Respective responsibilities and restrictions on use

Responsibilities of the Directors and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

The Directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS,and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group's or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DP AIRCRAFT I LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Appendix to the Independent Auditors' Report

Further information regarding the scope of our responsibilities as auditor

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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
Group's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group's to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DP AIRCRAFT I LIMITED (CONTINUED)

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the (consolidated) financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Year ended 31 December 2019

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 December 2019

GENERAL INFORMATION
The consolidated audited financial statements ('financial statements') incorporate the results of the Company and that of wholly owned subsidiary entities, DP Aircraft Guernsey I Limited, DP Aircraft Guernsey II Limited, DP Aircraft Guernsey III Limited, DP Aircraft Guernsey IV Limited (collectively and hereinafter, the 'Borrowers'), each being a Guernsey Incorporated company limited by shares and two intermediate lessor companies, DP Aircraft Ireland Limited and DP Aircraft UK Limited (the 'Lessors'), an Irish incorporated company limited by shares and a UK incorporated private limited company respectively.

DP Aircraft I Limited (the 'Company') was incorporated on 5 July 2013 with registered number 56941. The Company is admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund Segment of the London Stock Exchange.

The Share Capital of the Company comprises 209,333,333 Ordinary Shares (2018: 209,333,333) of no par value and one Subordinated Administrative Share of no par value.

The Company's investment objective is to obtain income and capital returns for its Shareholders by acquiring, leasing and then, when the Board considers it appropriate, selling aircraft.

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue on 24 April 2020.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and Interpretations (collectively IFRSs) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Directors to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies.
The areas where significant judgements and estimates have been made in preparing the financial statements and their effect are disclosed in note 3.
The financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (US$) which is also the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Basis of Measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value and designated as hedging instruments.
Going concern
The Directors have prepared the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 on the going concern basis of preparations. However, the Directors have identified the matters referred to below which indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and that the company may, as a consequence, be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Covid-19 has resulted in widespread restrictions on the ability of people to travel, socialise and leave their homes and is expected to have a material negative effect on the airline sector, and by extension the aircraft leasing sector. The Company leases four (4) Boeing 787 aircraft (the 'Aircraft'), two each to Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA ('NAS') and Thai Airways International ('Thai').

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparationGoing concern (continued)
The application of the going concern basis of preparation is dependent upon the Company's aircraft leasing and the related financing activities as described below.
Thai Leases and related LoansThe Thai Leases
During March 2020 Thai formally requested the Company to grant it concessions under the Thai aircraft leases. The Company, with the support of the Asset Manager, has actively engaged with Thai and agreed certain concessions to Thai, which include a rent deferral arrangement (which began on 29 April 2020) in an aggregate amount of approximately US$ 3.40m. The deferred amounts (with interest thereon) are due to be repaid in 12 equal monthly instalments commencing at end of each respective deferral period.
Thai Leases and related LoansThe Thai Loans
Note 13 ('Bank Borrowings') describes the loans (the 'NAS Loans' and the 'Thai Loans') obtained by the
Group to part-finance the acquisition of the Aircraft. The Company has obligations under the Loans to make scheduled repayments of principal and interest, which are serviced by the receipt of lease payments from Thai and NAS respectively. The Loans are secured by charges over the Aircraft and the underlying leases.
The concessions proposed by the Company to Thai have been communicated to the Thai Loan providers. The Directors expect that under the terms of the concessions granted to Thai the Company will have sufficient liquidity from (i) the lease payments from Thai and (ii) utilising certain of its own funds to continue to meet all of its obligations under the Thai Loans.
Norwegian Leases and related LoansThe NAS Leases
Since March 2020 NAS has failed to make any payments due under the NAS Aircraft Leases (in an aggregate amount of US$ 4.98m to-date). NAS have made significant requests for concessions from its suppliers and financiers including the Company as part of wider re-organisation and recapitalisation plan to ensure that it can continue to trade. The plan includes obtaining funding from the Norwegian Government which is contingent on meeting certain stipulated criteria including converting a large part of its outstanding debt to equity which will require a successful vote from shareholders at its EGM on 4 May 2020. Without Norwegian Government funding (among others) NAS has stated that it will not have the liquidity needed to continue to trade.
The Directors, with the support of the Asset Manager, have actively engaged with NAS in order to determine the extent of any concessions that may be granted under the NAS Leases. The Company is currently negotiating certain proposed concessions to NAS, which may include among other things (i) a rent deferral arrangement, (ii) a power by hour arrangement for part of the remaining term of the lease (iii) a modified rental stream for part of the remaining term of the lease (which may include a release by the Company of certain amounts already due from NAS) and other lease modifications or concessions, as well as other forms of compensation for the Company. No formal agreement on these concessions has yet been concluded.

Norwegian Leases and related Loans (continued)The NAS Loans
The Company is unlikely to be able to continue to meet its obligations as to principal and interest (currently approximately US$ 1.45m per month) under the NAS Loans for so long as NAS withhold payments due under the NAS Leases nor will it likely be able to meets its committed obligations under the proposed concessions that may be granted to NAS.
The Directors, with the support of the Asset Manager, have engaged with its NAS lenders following the non- receipt of rentals from NAS and the request for concessions. The Directors have determined that a modification to the terms of the NAS Loans (which may include an interest-only period, a re-profiling of future repayment obligations or other concessions) will be necessary to ensure that the Company can continue to operate following any concessions that may be agreed with NAS without giving rise to a default under the Loans.
Whilst progress has been made, the Directors are uncertain as to the final outcome of these matters. However, on the basis of (i) the continuing availability of the Thai and NAS Loans which have been made available to the Group (with certain Loan concessions), (ii) current cash-flow projections under various scenarios (including certain Aircraft Lease concessions being granted to NAS and Thai) and (iii) having regard to the limited recourse nature of the Loans the Directors believe that it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements under the going concern basis of preparation. No adjustments have been made to the financial statements in the event that the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.
New standards, interpretations and amendments effective from 1 January 2019
IFRS 16 Leases
IFRS 16 Leases is the IASB's replacement of IAS 17 Leases , however, the standard's approach to lessor accounting is substantially unchanged from IAS 17.
When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at the inception of the lease whether it is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Company makes an assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying assets. If this is the case, the lease if a finance lease; if not, the lease is an operating lease. In reaching this conclusion, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the majority of the useful economic life of the asset.
The conclusion is that the leases continue to be operating leases under IFRS 16 and as such the accounting policies applicable to the Company under IFRS 16 are not different to those in the comparative period . As such there has been no change to their classification as operating leases or their measurement following the implementation of IFRS 16.

Basis of preparation (continued)IFRS 16 Leases (continued)
As a result of the transition to IFRS 16 and subsequent adoption of amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations it is now required to present the Property, Plant and Equipment - Aircraft and the Intangible Asset as a single asset on the Statement of Financial Position and the related depreciation and amortisation as a single line item on the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The prior year primary statements have been restated to reflect this reclassification. As this is a presentational change only there is no impact on the
Company's profit and loss, cash flows and equity. The impact on transition to IFRS 16 is shown in the table below.

New standards, interpretations and amendments in issue but not yet effective

There are a no new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2020 which are expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Basis of consolidation
The financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the subsidiary undertakings controlled by the Company made up to 31 December each year. Control is achieved where the Company has power over the investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and the ability to use its power to affect the amount of the investor's returns.
The results of subsidiary undertakings acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal as appropriate.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.
Taxation
The Company and the Guernsey subsidiaries are exempt from taxation in Guernsey and are charged an annual exemption fee of £1,200 (2018: £1,200). This is treated as an operating expense.
DP Aircraft Ireland Limited is subject to resident taxes in Ireland. DP Aircraft UK Limited is subject to income tax in the United Kingdom.

For the year ended 31 December 2019

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Taxation (continued)
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income and expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible.
The Group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date.
Property, plant and equipment - Aircraft and related components
Upon delivery, aircraft (the 'Assets') are initially recognised at cost plus initial direct costs which may be capitalised under IAS 16. In accounting for property, plant and equipment, the Group makes estimates about the expected useful lives, the fair value of attached leases and the estimated residual value of aircraft. In estimating useful lives, fair value of leases and residual value of aircraft, the Group relies upon actual industry experience, supported by estimates received from independent appraisers.
When an aircraft is acquired with a lease attached, an evaluation of whether the lease is at fair value is undertaken. A lease premium is recognised when it is determined that the acquired lease terms are above fair value. Lease premiums are recognised as a component of Aircraft and are amortised to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
The two aircraft leased to Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA were acquired in 2013 and had a useful economic lease life of 12 years at acquisition. The two aircraft leased to Thai Airways International were acquired in 2015 and had a useful lease life of 12 years at acquisition.
The Group's policy is to depreciate the Assets over their remaining lease life (given the intention to sell the Assets at the end of each respective lease) to an appraised residual value at the end of the lease. Residual values are reviewed annually, and such estimates are supported by future values determined by three external valuations and discounted by the inflation rate incorporated into those valuations, see note 3 for further details
In accordance with IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment, the Group's aircraft that are to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the aircraft may not be recoverable. An impairment review involves consideration as to whether the carrying value of an aircraft including related assets is not recoverable and is in excess of its fair value. In such circumstances a loss is recognised as a write down of the carrying value of the aircraft to the higher of value in use and fair value less cost to sell. The review for recoverability has a level of subjectivity and requires the use of judgement in the assessment of estimated future cash flows associated with the use of an item of property, plant and equipment and its eventual disposition. Future cash flows are assumed to occur under the prevailing market conditions and assume adequate time for a sale between a willing buyer and a willing seller. Expected future lease rates are based upon all relevant information available, including the existing lease, current contracted rates for similar aircraft, appraisal data and industry trends.

Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e. the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group's obligations, specified in the contract, expire or are discharged or cancelled. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group's contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire, are extinguished, or if the
Group transfers the financial assets to a third party and transfers all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, or if the Group does not retain control of the asset and transfers substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership of the asset.

Under IFRS 9, on initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at:

Amortised cost;
Fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") - debt investment;
FVOCI - equity investment; or
Fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL").

The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. The Company only has financial assets that are classified as amortised cost or FVTPL.

Financial assets at amortised cost

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

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

Financial assets at amortised cost are initially measured fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributed to its acquisition, unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component which is initially measured at its transaction price.

These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses as detailed below.

Trade and other receivables are classified at amortised cost.

Fair values of financial assets at amortised cost, which are determined for disclosure purposes, are calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances held for the purpose of meeting short term cash commitments and investments which are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Financial Instruments (continued)
Financial assets at amortised cost (continued)

Restricted cash comprises cash held by the Group but which isring-fenced or used as security for specific financing arrangements, and to which the Group does not have unfettered access. Restricted cash includes monies received in relation to maintenance provisions and security deposits.
Impairment of financial assets held at amortised cost
The Company has elected to apply the simplified model for trade receivables, including lease receivables, as the trade receivables all have a maturity of less than one year and do not contain a significant financing component. Under the simplified approach the requirement is to always recognise lifetime ECL. The board consider that a significant movement would be required to the credit quality of the lessees, oil prices and inflation to increase the ECL.
The directors have concluded that any ECL on the lease receivables would be highly immaterial to the financial statements following consideration of:
- the historical payment history of the lessees which have always been met in accordance with the lease agreement terms.
- the ability of the lessees to pay the current amounts due based on forward looking information and expectations over items such as oil prices and inflation.
- collateral being held in the form of a security deposit for each lease which can be utilised should there be any payment defaults.
- The credit risk of the lessees.

Other receivables are immaterial to the financial statements and therefore no assessment of the ECL has been completed.

Financial assets at FVTPL

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL which includes derivative financial assets.

Financial assets at FVTPL are initially and subsequently measured at fair value. The Company has designated its derivative financial instruments as hedging instruments as detailed below.

Hedge accounting

IFRS 9 adopts a principle based approach to hedge accounting which includes a number of effectiveness requirements which must all be met. IFRS 9 requires the company to ensure that the hedge accounting relationships are aligned with its risk management objectives and strategy and to apply a more qualitative and forward looking approach to assessing hedge effectiveness.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Financial Instruments (continued)Hedge accounting (continued)
1. The Company has two interest rate swaps in order to provide for fixed rate interest to be payable in respect of two of the bank loans. The interest rate swaps have been entered into to provide certainty of cash flows and elimination of volatility.
  The directors have concluded, given that the critical terms of the hedged item matched those of the hedging instrument in terms of risk, timing and quantity, that the hedges meet the hedging requirements.
  Accordingly, the hedges are accounted for at fair value with the fair value movements being recorded as other comprehensive income and the swap interest being reclassified from other comprehensive income and recognised in profit or loss.
  Financial Liabilities at amortised cost
2. Bank borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Bank borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised through profit or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the period of borrowing using the effective interest rate method. Bank borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least one year after the reporting date.
  Initial direct costs related to bank borrowings are capitalised, presented net against the bank borrowings in the statements of financial position and amortised to the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the related loan as part of the effective interest rate.
3. NAS, for example, has Boeing Gold Care cover and Rolls Royce Total Care arrangements under which the majority of the maintenance payments are made. In addition, maintenance reserves are lessee contributions to a retention account held by the lessor which are calculated by reference to the budgeted cost of maintenance and overhaul events (the 'supplemental rentals'). They are intended to ensure that at all times the lessor holds sufficient funds to cover the proportionate cost of maintenance and overhaul of the Asset relating to the life used on the airframe, engines and parts since new or since the last overhaul. During the term of the lease, all maintenance is required to be carried out at the cost of the lessee, and maintenance provisions are required to be released only upon receipt of satisfactory evidence that the relevant qualifying maintenance or overhaul has been completed.

Financial Instruments (continued)
Financial Liabilities at amortised cost (continued)
Maintenance provisions are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position during the term of the lease. Reimbursements will be charged against this liability as qualifying maintenance work is performed. Maintenance reserves are restricted and not distributable until, at the end of the lease, the Group is released from the obligation to make any further reimbursements in relation to the aircraft, and the remaining balance of maintenance provisions, if any, is released through profit or loss as other income.

Security deposits are paid by the lessee in accordance with the terms of the lease contract, either in cash or in the form of a letter of credit. These deposits are refundable to the lessee upon expiration of the lease and, where such deposits are received in cash, they are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position as a liability. The cash received related to security deposits is presented as restricted cash in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Fair value measurement
The Group measures certain financial instruments such as derivatives at fair value at the end of each reporting period using recognised valuation techniques and following the principles of IFRS 13.
The fair value measurement of the Group's financial assets and liabilities utilises market observable inputs as far as possible. Inputs used in determining fair value measurements are categorised into different levels based on how observable the inputs used in the valuation technique utilised are:
- 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 significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
- Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

The classification of an item into the above levels is based on the lowest level of the inputs used that has a significant effect on the fair value measurement of the item.

Share capital
Shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of shares are recognised as a deduction from retained earnings.
Asset Manager's disposal fee provision
The disposal fee provision is measured at the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation. Changes in the estimated timing or amount of the expenditure or discount rate are recognised in profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income when the changes arise.

Dividends
Dividends are recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the period in which they become obligations of the Company.
Dividends become an obligation when the payment of the dividend is no longer at the discretion of the Company and are therefore recognised when they are paid.
Lease rental income
Leases relating to the Aircraft are classified as operating leases where the terms of the lease do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Initial direct costs incurred in setting up a lease are capitalised to Property, Plant and Equipment and amortised over the lease term.
Expenses
Expenses are accounted for on an accrual basis.
Finance costs and finance income
Interest payable is calculated using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or liability and of allocating interest income and expense over the relevant period.
The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments (including all fees or amounts paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, including transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset or liability.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US$ at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into US$ at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Foreign exchange gains or losses arising on translation are recognised through profit or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Segmental reporting
The Directors are of the opinion that the Group is engaged in a single segment of business, being acquiring, leasing and subsequent selling of Aircraft. All significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Group as one segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Group as a whole.

For the year ended 31 December 2019

SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires that the Directors make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Such estimates and associated assumptions are generally based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and form the basis of making the judgements about attributing values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Depreciation of aircraft
As described in Note 2, the Group depreciates the Assets on a straight line basis over the remaining lease life and taking into consideration the estimated residual value at the end of the lease term. In making a judgement regarding these estimates the Directors will consider previous sales of similar aircraft and other available aviation information. The Group engage three Independent Expert Valuers each year to provide a valuation of the Assets and take into account the average of the three valuations provided. The Group expects that, in performing their valuations, the Independent Expert Valuers will have regard to factors such as the prevailing market conditions (which may impact on the resale value of the Assets), the leases (including the scheduled rental payments and remaining scheduled term of the leases) and the creditworthiness of the lessees. Accordingly, any early termination of the leases may impact on the valuation of the Assets. As at 31 December 2019 there was no indication of impairment in the Group's Assets (2018: nil).
Residual value estimates of the Aircraft were determined by the full life inflated values at the end of the leases from three external valuations and discounted by the inflation rate incorporated into those valuations and the lease premium was determined to have a US$ nil residual value at the end of the leases.
The full life inflated value is the appraiser's opinion of the underlying economic value of the aircraft in an open, unrestricted, stable market environment with a reasonable balance of supply and demand, and assumes full consideration of its "highest and best use". An aircraft's full life value is founded in the historical trend of values and in the projection of value trend and presumes an arm's-length, cash transaction between willing, able and knowledgeable parties, acting prudently, with an absence of duress and with a reasonable period of time available for marketing. The full life inflated values used within the financial statements match up the four lease termination dates and have been discounted by the inflation rate incorporated into the valuations. The residual value of the aircraft does not represent the current fair value of the aircraft.
The residual value estimates at the end of each year are used to determine the aircraft depreciation of future periods. The residual value estimates of the leases for the aircraft as at 31 December 2019 was US$ 265,658,601 (31 December 2018: US$255,350,464). As a result, the year ending 31 December 2020 and future aircraft depreciation charges, with all other inputs staying constant, will be US$ 21,714,435 (2019: US$ 22,227,528). The aircraft depreciation charge for 2020 onwards will vary based on the residual value estimates as at 31 December 2019.
Derivative fair value
The Directors estimate the fair value of derivative contracts based on valuation techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used which are observable except for credit valuation adjustments and derivative valuation adjustments, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows.

Under the terms of the leases, the cost of repair and maintenance of the Assets will be borne by NAS and Thai Airways. However, upon expiry or termination of the leases, the cost of repair and maintenance will fall upon the Group. Therefore, upon expiry of the leases, the Group may bear higher costs and the terms of any subsequent leasing arrangement (including terms for repair, maintenance and insurance costs relative to those agreed under the leases) may be adversely affected, which could reduce the overall distributions paid to the Shareholders.

The first aircraft was acquired in June 2013, the second aircraft acquired in August 2013 and the third and fourth aircraft were acquired in June 2015. All four of the aircraft are used as collateral for the loans as detailed in note 13.

PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT - AIRCRAFT & RELATED COMPONENTS (CONTINUED)
The estimated residual value of the Boeing 787-8 Assets as at the end of their respective leases in 2025 and 2026 have been supported by independent experts as at 31 December 2019. The residual value will depend upon a variety of factors including actual or anticipated fluctuations in the results of the airline industry, market perception of the airline industry, general economic and social and political development, changes in industry conditions, fuel prices or rates of inflation.
The future cash in-flows for the Assets (excluding the assets residual value in the event of a sale) have been fixed at a set rate as agreed between the Group and the lessees.
The loans entered into by the Group to complete the purchase of the first two aircraft are cross collateralised. Each of the loans are secured by way of security taken over each of the first aircraft and the second aircraft.
The loans entered into by the Group to complete the purchase of the second two aircraft are cross collateralised. Each of the loans are secured by way of security taken over each of the third aircraft and the fourth aircraft.

BANK BORROWINGS (CONTINUED) Loans
During the year ended 31 December 2015 the Company utilised the proceeds from the placing and the proceeds of two separate loans from DekaBank as facility agent of US$ 78,500,000 each to fund the purchase of two Boeing 787-8 aircraft. The balance on the loans at 31 December 2019 was US$ 103,073,143 (2018:
US$ 115,714,801).
During the period ended 31 December 2014 the Company utilised the proceeds from the initial public offering and the proceeds of two separate loans from NordLB as facility agent of US$ 79,800,000 each to fund the purchase of two Boeing 787-8 aircraft. The balance on the loans at 31 December 2019 was US$ 87,773,599 (2018: US$100,800,873).
All of the loans will be fully amortised with monthly repayments in arrears over the term until the scheduled expiry of each respective lease. There have been no defaults or breaches under the loan agreements (2018: none).
Structure and term
The committed term of each loan is from the drawdown date until the date falling twelve years from the delivery date of the relevant Asset. Each Loan will be amortised with repayments every month in arrears over the term in amounts as set out in a schedule agreed by the Company and the Lenders. Amortisation will be on an annuity-style (i.e. mortgage-style) basis.
Interest
Interest on each DekaBank loan is payable in arrears on the last day of each interest period, which is one month long. Interest on the loan accrues at a fixed rate of 4.10 per cent including a margin of 1.95 per cent per annum. If any amount is not paid by the Borrower when due under the loan agreements, interest will accrue on such amount at the then current rate applicable to the loan plus 2.0 per cent per annum.
Interest on each NordLB loan is payable in arrears on the last day of each interest period, which is one month long (the 'Interest Period'). Interest on each loan accrues at a floating rate of interest which is calculated using LIBOR for the length of the Interest Period and a margin of 2.6 per cent per annum (the 'Loan Margin') ('Loan Floating Rate'). For the purposes of calculating the Loan Floating Rate, if on the date when LIBOR is set prior to the beginning of an Interest Period it is not possible for LIBOR to be determined by reference to a screen rate at the time that LIBOR is to be set for that Interest Period (a 'Market Disruption Event'), the amount of interest payable to each affected Loan Lender during the Interest Period will be the aggregate of each Lender's cost of funds during that monthly period and the Loan Margin. If any amount is not paid by the Borrower when due under the Loan Transaction Documents, interest will accrue on such amount at the then current rate applicable to the loan plus 2.0 per cent per annum. The Group has entered into ISDA- standard hedging arrangement with NordLB as hedging provider in connection with the Loans, in order to provide for a fixed interest rate of 5.06% and 5.08% to be payable in respect of the loans throughout the whole term.
Cross Collateralisation
The DekaBank loans entered into by the Group to complete the purchase of the third and fourth Assets are cross collateralised. Each of the third and fourth loans is secured by way of security taken over the third and fourth Assets and enforce security over both Assets. This means that a default on one loan places both of the Assets at risk.

Similarly, the NordLB loans entered into by the Group to complete the purchase of the first two Assets are cross collateralised. Each of the first and second loans is secured by way of security taken over the first and second Assets and enforce security over both Assets. This means that a default on one loan places both of the Assets at risk.
Following the enforcement of security and sale of the aircraft, the remaining proceeds, if any, may be substantially lower than investors' initial investment in the Company.

Cash and restricted cash is all held at NordLB and DekaBank. The lessees do not maintain a credit rating. The credit rating of NordLB is A3 (2018: Baa2) and the credit rating of DekaBank is Aa2 (2018: Aa2).
During the term of the leases, the returns on an investment in the Shares will depend in large part on the lease rentals received from Norwegian and Thai Airways under the leases. A failure by Norwegian or Thai Airways to comply with their payment obligations under the leases may lead to a reduction or in extreme cases a suspension in distributions paid on the shares and/or in the value of the shares and have an adverse effect on the Group.
In advance of the commencement of the lease terms under the leases, both Norwegian and Thai have paid to the Group a security deposit in respect of each Asset. However, the security deposits do not cover the full value of the Group's obligations pursuant to the loan agreements in the event of termination of the leases or default by Norwegian or Thai Airways.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements represents the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk.
Market risk - interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises on the Group's various interest bearing assets and liabilities from changes in the general economic conditions of the market from time to time. In respect of the floating rate loans advanced by NordLB for the purchase of the first two Assets, the Directors have sought to mitigate this risk by swapping the interest on each loan from a floating rate of interest to a fixed rate of interest. The floating rate of interest is calculated using LIBOR for the length of the interest period and a margin of 2.6 per cent per annum and has been swapped for a fixed rate of 5.06 per cent and 5.08 per cent for the duration of the loans. The Group has entered into ISDA-standard hedging arrangements with NordLB as hedging provider in order to provide for fixed-rate interest for 12 years to be payable in respect of the loan, funded by the fixed rental payments under the corresponding lease. The interest rate swaps are not under a single master netting agreement. As at 31 December 2019 the fair value of the interest rate swaps was a payable of US$ 2,348,843 (2018: receivable of US$ 153,795).

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) Market risk - interest rate risk (continued)
A 0.25% increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a material impact on the Group due to the derivatives fixing the interest rates paid by the group and the intention to hold the interest rate swaps until maturity.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) Market risk - foreign currency risk
The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk is not significant as its cash flows are predominantly in US$ which is the functional currency of the company and subsidiaries, and presentation currency of the Group.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations in respect of its financial liabilities. The Group's main financial commitments are the loans due to NordLB and DekaBank as well as meeting its ongoing operating expenses.
Liquidity risk management
In the event that the Leases are terminated as a result of a default by Norwegian or Thai Airways, there is a risk that the Group will not be able to remarket the Assets successfully within the remarketing period specified in the loan agreements and that (after using the security deposits and the Liquidity Reserve) the Group will not have sufficient liquidity to comply with its obligations under the Loan Agreements. This may lead to a suspension in distributions paid on the shares and/or a reduction in the value of the shares and have an adverse effect on the Group and could ultimately result in the lenders enforcing their security and selling the relevant Asset or Assets on the market. There can be no guarantee that the Group will be able to re-lease the Assets on terms as favourable as the existing leases, which may have an adverse effect on the Group and its ability to meet its investment objective and its dividend target. The price paid by the Group for the Assets partly reflects the terms of the leases to which the Assets are subject. Accordingly, were any or all of the Assets to be re-leased on less favourable terms, this may have an adverse effect on the value of the Assets and therefore the share price.
No right of redemption or repurchase
Shareholders will have no right to have their shares redeemed or repurchased by the Company at any time. Shareholders wishing to realise their investment in the Company would be required to dispose of their shares on the stock market. Accordingly, the ability of shareholders to realise the Net Asset Value of, or any value in respect of, their shares is mainly dependent on the existence of a liquid market in the shares and the market price of such shares.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) Liquidity risk (continued)
Available cash
As of 29 April 2020 the Group has available cash in excess of US$ 8m once adjusted for current creditors and debtors. This is intended to fund contingencies and to be available to the Group, in addition to the security deposits paid by Norwegian and Thai Airways under the leases which would become available in certain circumstances, to aid the Group in meeting its loan repayments in the event of a default by Norwegian or Thai Airways.
Liquidity Proposal
Although the Company does not have a fixed life, the Articles require that the Directors convene a Liquidity Proposal Meeting to be held no later than 30 June 2026 at which a Liquidity Proposal in the form of an ordinary resolution will be put forward proposing that the Company should proceed to an orderly wind-up at the end of the term of the leases. In the event the Liquidity Proposal is not passed, the Directors will consider alternatives for the Company and shall propose such alternatives at a general meeting of the shareholders, including re-leasing the Assets, or selling the Assets and reinvesting the capital received from the sale of the Assets in other aircraft.
The following table details the contractual maturity analysis of the Group's financial liabilities. The amounts are contractual undiscounted cash flows and therefore will not agree directly to the balances in the statement of financial position. Operating lease income is not a financial instrument, however, it has been included in the tables below to illustrate the Group's excess liquidity.

For the year ended 31 December 2019

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) Liquidity risk (continued)
In addition to the bank loans, the Group may from time to time use borrowings. To this end the Group may arrange an overdraft facility for efficient cash management. The Directors intend to restrict borrowings other than the bank loans to an amount not exceeding 15 per cent. of the net asset value of the Group at the time of drawdown. Borrowing facilities will only be drawn down with the approval of the Directors on a case by case basis. The Directors may also draw down on an overdraft facility for extraordinary expenses determined by them, on the advice of DS Aviation, to be necessary to safeguard the overall investment objective. With the exception of the loans, the Directors have no intention, as at the date of this report, to use such borrowings or overdraft facility for structural investment purposes.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The accounting policies and basis of measurement in respect of financial instruments are detailed in Note 2.
Financial assets and financial liabilities at amortised cost
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, restricted cash and interest payable approximate their carrying amounts due to the short term maturities of these instruments.
The fair value of floating rate borrowings is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt of similar returns and remaining maturities and therefore the carrying value approximates fair value.
The fair value of fixed rate borrowings is estimated by discounting future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. The fair value of the loans is US$ 98,515,186 (2018: US$105,600,273).
The fixed rate loans have been categorised within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the fixed rate loans for disclosure purposes have been determined by discounting future cash flows at a rate of 5.77% (2018: 6.69%). An increase in the discount rate would decrease the fair value of the fixed rate loans.
Financial liabilities designated as hedging instruments
The fair value of the Group's derivative interest rate swaps is determined by reference to the mid-point on the yield curves prevailing on the reporting date and represent the net present value of the differences between the contracted and the valuation rate when applied to the projected balances to the period from the reporting date to the contracted expiry date.
The interest rate swaps are valued on a recurring basis and have been categorised within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy required by IFRS 13.

As at 31 December 2019, the fair value of the interest rate swaps was a liability US$ 2,348,841 (31 December 2018: asset of US$153,795).

Transfers between levels

The Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole at the end of each reporting period.

There were no transfers between level 1 and level 2 fair value measurements and no transfers into or out of level 3 fair value measurements during the year ended 31 December 2019 or in the year ended 31 December 2018.

MATERIAL CONTRACTS
Asset Management Agreement
The Asset Management Agreement, dated 19 September 2013, between the Company and DS Aviation was amended on 5 June 2015 to reflect the acquisition of the two aircraft leased to Thai.
The amended agreement provides a new calculation methodology for the disposal fee which will only become payable when all four of the Assets have been sold after the expiry of the fourth Thai Airways lease in December 2026. The fee will be calculated as a percentage of the aggregate net sale proceeds of the four Assets, such percentage rate depending upon the Initial Investor Total Asset Return per share being the total amount distributed to an initial investor by way of dividend, capital return or otherwise over the life of the Company. If each of the Assets is sold subsequent to the expiry of their respective leases, the percentage rate shall be:
- Nil if the Initial Investor Total Asset Return per share is less than 205%,
- 1.5% if the Initial Total Asset Return per share equals or exceeds 205% but is less than 255%,
- 2% if the Initial Total Asset Return per share equals or exceeds 255% but is less than 305%, or
- 3% if the Initial Total Asset Return per share equals or exceeds 305%.

In the event that any of the Assets is sold prior to the expiry of its lease the percentage hurdles set out above will be adjusted on the following basis:

an amount will be deducted in respect of each Asset sold prior to the expiry of its lease, equal to the net present value of the aggregate amount of dividends per share that were targeted to be paid but were not paid as a result of the early divestment of the relevant Asset; and
a further amount will be deducted, in respect of each Asset sold prior to the expiry of its lease, equal to the amount by which the proportion of thenon-dividend component of the relevant percentage hurdle attributable to the relevant Asset would need to be reduced in order to meet its net present value.

The disposal fee is a cash-settled payment to the Asset Manager. In determining the provision for the financial statements, the Directors have estimated the fee that will be payable on disposal of the assets. This is then being discounted and is then recognised straight line over the period until the estimated payment date. The provision for the disposal fee at 31 December 2018 was US$ 2,479,634 (2018: US$ 1,856,644) and the discount rate used was 1.92% (2018: 2.69%). The resulting charge to the Statement of Comprehensive Income was US$ 622,990 (2018: US$ 423,008).

The directors regularly consider the discount rate and the underlying forecasted cash flows used in calculating the disposal fee provision.

The Asset Manager is paid a base fee which is US$ 21,354 per month in respect of the first two Assets increasing by 2.5% per annum and US$ 16,666 per month in respect of the second two Assets increasing by 2.5% per annum from May 2016. In the year ended 31 December 2018 Asset Management fees totalled US$ 1,007,149 (2018: US$ 982,584) of which US$ 85,112 were due at 31 December 2019 (2018: US$ nil).

MATERIAL CONTRACTS (CONTINUED) Administration Agreement
Following a review of the work performed by the Administrator, the first detailed review since 2015, it was clear that the initial fee failed to address the work load resulting from increasing the fleet size from two to four aircraft and the added complexity associated with the addition of further subsidiary companies. As a result, the Company agreed to increase the Administration fees as follows:
With effect from 1 January 2018 the Company Secretary receives a fixed fee of £50,000 per annum. Any additional ad hoc meetings are charged on a time spent basis. The Company Administrator receives a fixed administration fee of the Company of £50,000 per annum plus an additional fixed fee of £6,000 for each of the wholly owned Guernsey subsidiaries. Additional work in excess of the above is to be charged on a time spent basis or at a rate agreed between the parties from time to time. Based upon the GBP/USD exchange rates on the value date of each payment, the total fees charged by the administrator for the year ended 31 December 2019 were US$187,007 (2018: 183,262).
Directors' fees
Details of the fees paid to the Directors are included in Note 20.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Since the start of January 2020, the world has been monitoring and reacting to Covid-19. As of early April 2020, the virus has spread across the globe, with major outbreaks across China, the Middle East, Europe and America, resulting in widespread restrictions on the ability of people to travel, socialise and leave their homes. Global financial markets have reacted sharply to this pandemic, with concerns regarding the economic impact this may have on a global scale, and which is expected to be material for the airline sector, and by extension the aircraft leasing sector.
NAS has failed to make any payments due under the NAS Aircraft Leases since March 2020 (in an aggregate amount of US$ 4.98m). The Company has agreed certain concessions to Thai, which included a rent deferral arrangement (which began on 29 April 2020) in an aggregate amount of approximately US$ 3.4m. The deferred amounts (with interest thereon) are due to be repaid in 12 equal monthly instalments commencing at end of each respective deferral period.
The Company is currently negotiating certain proposed concessions to NAS, which may include (i) a rent deferral arrangement (ii) a power by hour arrangement for part of the remaining term of the lease (iii) a modified rental stream for part of the remaining term of the lease (which may include a release of certain amounts already due from NAS) and other lease modifications or concessions , as well as other forms of compensation for the Company. No formal agreement on these concessions has yet been concluded.
The Directors, with the support of the Asset Manager, have engaged with its lenders following the non- receipt of rentals from NAS and the request for concessions from both NAS and Thai. The Company has communicated the terms of concessions agreed to Thai with its Thai Lenders. The Directors believe that a modification to the terms of the NAS Loans (which may include an interest-only period, a re-profiling of future repayment obligations or other concession) will be necessary to ensure that the Company can continue to operate following any concessions that may be agreed with NAS without giving rise to a default under the Loans. No agreement on the form of any such modification to the Loans has yet been concluded.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (continued)
It is therefore not possible to fully estimate the financial effect that these events may have on the Company's financial results or position. The Directors, with input from the Asset Manager, will continue to engage with NAS and its lenders and to monitor the impact of the virus on the activities of the Company.
On 15 January 2020 the Company declared a quarterly dividend in respect of the quarter ended 31 December 2019 of US$ 0.0225 per ordinary share to holders of shares on the register at 24 January 2020. The ex- dividend date was 23 January 2020 with payment on 14 February 2020. On 3 April 2020 the Board of Directors announced that it had suspended the payment of dividends with immediate effect and until further notice.
