Returns comprise  cash yield  (income) from the lease payments plus the net asset value (capital) realisable from the sale of the aircraft after repayment of associated debt obligations.  The  ARAN  alliance between Avation, Skywest Airlines and Virgin Australia is a unique long term aircraft operating lease  arrangement  and  delivers a solid operating platform for the continued asset and  earnings  growth  of  the Avation  business. The ARAN Fleet commenced with the order of 15 ATR72 aircraft and 25 options and purchase  rights to enable a fleet expansion of 40 aircraft to service Virgin Australia's regional airline network on the east coast of Australia with a potential value of up to US$800 million.  In  the period to 30th June 2012, Avation successfully (i) delivered 6 new ATR 72-500 aircraft with a further 4 new ATR 72-600 to be delivered by end December 2012 (ii) converted 5 options to firm delivery for aircraft delivery  in 2013 and January 2014, and (iii) ordered 8 more option ATR 72-600 aircraft for delivery in 2014 and 2015.  The  Avation  fleet of 15 aircraft has an average age and lease term of 10.6 years and 7.8 years  respectively  and generates  a  rental  yield  of  14.6% from a current customer base of 4 airlines in Australia,  Europe  and  North America.  Avation's fleet is diverse, comprising the new ATR aircraft and other aircraft including the Fokker 100s  and  A320 aircraft  which  we  used  for  core transport services to the mining and resources sector  in  Australia.  Avation continues to provide active fleet and financial management to ensure the retention of asset values and maximisation of  earnings.  In  accordance  with  this policy the Group sold its Australian  leasing  subsidiary  Capital  Lease Australian Portfolio One Pty Ltd ("C1") on 28th June 2012 to Skywest Airlines.This C1 sale delivered a higher  cash return  on  ageing  and end of lease aircraft. Whilst increasing the overall cash reserves of  the  Avation  Group, earnings were impacted by a fall of 1.0 pence per share on a fully diluted basis.  Revenue growth to GBP 22,098,019 was consistent with the build-out and significant investment in the ATR fleet  and reflected  lease income commencing in August 2011 from the delivery of the 6 ATR's. Lease revenues are forecast  to grow by GBP 4.6 million in 2013 and GBP 2.9 million in 2014 respectively from the proposed ATR fleet expansion.  As  of  June 30th, total assets increased by GBP 58,740,060 to GBP 158,131,903. Corresponding liabilities increased to GBP 105,610,847 resulting in a moderate net asset increase of 6.2% to GBP 52,521,056.  The Company secured committed funding of US$180 million covering all aircraft deliveries for the period ending 31st December  2012  from traditional aircraft financing banks. Debt facilities are primarily asset  based  and  limited recourse  financings and matched to the leases in terms of currency, term and loan servicing ensuring there  is  no "through lease term" re-financing risk.  The  Company  believes  that it can obtain access to the necessary debt for the purchase  of  aircraft.  Access  to funding  nevertheless  remains  a  risk, which is common to all businesses that  are  capital  intensive.  Specific aviation based industry risks are also present and include the creditworthiness of client airlines.  The  Board of Directors believe that they have demonstrated that the Group has a sustainable business model and are committed to develop the Avation business as a differentiated aircraft operating lease business to provide constant and  defined  IRR's, cash yields and predictive capital returns from investment in the narrow body aircraft  market and more particularly in the Australian and South East Asian regional airline sector.  Our business provides for continued and sustainable growth in 2013 and beyond. Our fleet procurement and investment policies are robust and we will only acquire aircraft with leases attached, ensuring there is no "ramp-up" phase or speculation.  The  outlook for 2013 is positive with scheduled ATR aircraft investment in FY 2013 of US$ 111 million and  US$  74 million for 2014. Net Profit after Tax is expected to increase proportionately with these increased revenues.  Avation  continues  to  actively  evaluate further preferred aircraft acquisition investment  opportunities.  As  a result,  the Company is well advanced with respect the funding of its 2013 deliveries and is developing  formalised capital  funding  programs to provide a diversified funding base with access to both debt and equity  markets.  Our Singapore Stock Exchange listing remains a priority and a core feature of our capital strategy going forward.  Whilst  the  business  is engaged in funding the significant asset growth of the fleet, your  Board  overwhelmingly recognises the importance of rewarding shareholders and is recommending to shareholders a final dividend payment of 1.04  pence per share. Accordingly, the Company hopes to maintain a progressive dividend policy going forward.  The record  date  for  this final dividend will be announced in the meeting materials for the upcoming  annual  general meeting.  My  colleagues  and  I  are  committed  to continue to work tirelessly to build  your  Company  into  a  respected, profitable,  diversified and cash generative aircraft leasing business. The Board would like to  thank  you  -  the shareholders  for  your  continued  support and goodwill and look forward to the  future  with  confidence  in  the successful development of Avation PLC.
