INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT ON REVIEW OF
INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
To the Shareholders
Avianca Holdings S.A.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying March 31, 2019 condensed consolidated interim financial information of Avianca Holdings S.A., and subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises:
| The condensed consolidated statements of financial position as at March 31, 2019; |
| The condensed consolidated statements of other comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018; |
| The condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018; |
| The condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018; and |
| Notes to the interim financial information. |
Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.
Scope of Review
Except as explained in the Basis for a Qualified Conclusion paragraph, we conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Basis for a qualified conclusion
As indicated in notes 2 (f) and 27 to the interim financial information, at the end of April 2019 the Group was notified by certain financial entities, with which it has established financial agreements to finance the purchase of aircraft, on the breach of certain obligations that its controlling shareholder has in relation to financing agreements for aircraft not operated by the Group. This situation causes a breach of certain obligations in the financing agreements established by the Group with such entities. The Group is in the process to determine with its controlling shareholder the date from which the aforementioned non-compliance was generated, but was unable to do so before the approval of the interim financial information. As a result, management was not able to determine if it is required to reclassify to short-term the amounts presented in the interim financial information of long-term financial obligations for US$743 million as of March 31, 2019. Had we been able to complete our review of the date from which the aforementioned non-compliance was generated, matters might have come to our attention indicating that adjustments might be necessary to the interim financial information.
Qualified conclusion
Except for adjustments to the condensed interim financial information that we might have become aware of had it not been for the situation described in Basis for qualified conclusion paragraph, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying March 31, 2019 condensed consolidated interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
Material uncertainty related to continue as a going concern
We draw attention to notes 2 (f), 26 and 27 to the condensed consolidated interim financial information, which indicate that the controlling shareholder of Avianca Holding S.A. has breached certain obligations in various financing agreements. These events, in turn, generate breaches in the financing agreements of aircraft with the Groups Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) and potential breaches of certain lending and financing contracts, aircraft leases and other Groups contracts related to the potential change of control, which could lead to the early termination or cancellation of these contracts. These circumstances indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Our review report is not modified in respect of this matter.

(see note 3). |
(2) | Basis of preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements |
Applied Professional Accounting Standards
(a) Statement of compliance
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the three months period ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Groups financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

AVIANCA HOLDINGS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Republic of Panama)
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(In USD thousands)
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the group as of and for the three months period ended March 31, 2019 were prepared and submitted by Management and authorized for issuing by the Board of Directors on May 15, 2019.
(b) Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for, certain land and buildings (classified as property), derivative financial instruments and plan assets, have been measured at fair value. The carrying values of recognized assets and liabilities that are designated as hedged items in cash flow for changes in fair value that would otherwise be carried at amortized cost are adjusted to recognize changes in the fair values attributable to the risks that are being hedged in effective hedge relationships.
(c) Functional and presentation currency
The Groups consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars, which is also the parent companys functional currency. For each entity, the Group determines the functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. The Group uses the direct method of consolidation and on disposal of a foreign operation, the gain or loss that is reclassified to profit or loss reflects the amount that arises from using this method.
(d) Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
In preparing these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, significant judgments were made by Management when applying the Groups accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The following are critical judgments used in applying accounting policies that may have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Consolidated financial statements:
| The Group operates certain aircraft under a financing structure which involves the creation of structured entities that acquire aircraft with bank and thirdparty financing. This relates to 100 aircraft from the A319, A320, A321, A330, A330F, ATR72 and B787 families. The Group has determined, based on the terms and conditions of the arrangements, that the Company controls these special purpose entities (SPE) and therefore, SPEs are consolidated by the Group and these aircraft are shown in the consolidated statement of financial position as part of Property and Equipment with the corresponding debt shown as a liability. |

The following assumptions and estimation uncertainties may have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Consolidated financial statements within the next financial year:
| The Group periodically evaluates Air traffic liability and any significant adjustment is recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. These adjustments are mainly due to differences between actual events and circumstances such as historical sales rates and customer travel patterns that may result in refunds, changes or expiration of tickets that differ substantially from the estimates. The Group evaluates its estimates and adjusts deferred revenue for unearned transportation and revenue for passenger transport when necessary. |
| The Group believes that the tax positions taken are reasonable. However, tax authorities by audits proceedings may challenge the positions taken resulting in additional liabilities for taxes and interest that may become payable in future years. Tax positions involve careful judgment on the part of management and are reviewed and adjusted to account for changes in circumstances, such as lapse of applicable statutes of limitations, conclusions of tax audits, additional exposures derived from new legal issues or court decisions on a particular tax matter. The Group establishes provisions, based on their estimation on feasibility of a negative decision derived from an audit proceeding by the tax authorities of the respective countries in which it operates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and different interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Actual results could differ from estimates. |
| Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized and the tax rates used, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies, and the enacted tax rates in the jurisdictions in which the entity operates. |
| The Group measures administrative land and buildings primarily in Bogota, Medellin, San Jose, and San Salvador at revalued amounts with changes in fair value being recognized in other comprehensive income. The Group engaged independent valuation specialists to assists management in determine the fair value of these assets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. The valuation techniques used by these specialists require estimates about market conditions at the time of the report. |

| The Group estimates useful lives and residual values of property and equipment, including fleet assets based on network plans and recoverable value. Useful lives and residual values area revaluated annually considering the latest fleet plans and business plan information. In the note 12 provides more information about the net book value of the property and equipment and their respective depreciation charges. |
| The Group evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets subject to amortization or depreciation whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. For purposes of this testing, the Company has generally identified the aircraft fleet type as the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. An impairment charge is recognized when the assets carrying value exceeds its net undiscounted future cash flows and its fair market value. The amount of the charge is the difference between the assets carrying value and fair market value. |
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. Goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or on an interim basis whenever a triggering event occurs.
| The cost of defined benefit pension plans and other postemployment medical benefits and the present value of the pension obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions which may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the complexity of the valuation, the underlying assumptions and its longterm nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. |
For determines the discount rate of the pension plans in Colombia, the management takes as a reference the local market rate.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables in Colombia. Future salary increases and pension increases are based on expected future inflation rates in Colombia.
| The Group estimated the breakage of miles, supported by a third valuation specialist to assist management in this process. The Group considers the behavior of the members based on a segmentation into statistically homogeneous groups of members to be able to project future behaviors, and therefore is considered to be more robust in predicting redemption rates by segment and breakage estimates of the Program. |

| The Group recognizes a provision in the balance sheet when a third-party account has a legal or implicit obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an exit of liquidity benefits to the obligation is required. In relation to provisions for litigation, the main source of uncertainty is the time of the outcome of the process. |
| Aircraft lease contracts establish certain conditions in which aircraft shall be returned to the lessor at the end of the contracts. To comply with return conditions, the Group incurs costs such as the payment to the lessor of a rate in accordance with the use of components through the term of the lease contract, payment of maintenance deposits to the lessor, or overhaul costs of components. In certain contracts, if the asset is returned in a better maintenance condition than the condition at which the asset was originally delivered, the Group is entitled to receive compensation from the lessor. The Group accrues a provision to comply with return conditions at the time the asset does not meet the return condition criteria based on the conditions of each lease contract. The recognition of return conditions require management to make estimates of the costs with third parties of return conditions and use inputs such as hours or cycles flown of major components, estimated hours or cycles at redelivery of major components, projected overhaul costs and overhaul dates of major components. At redelivery of aircraft, any difference between the provision recorded and actual costs is recognized in the result of the period. |
(e) Reclassifications
Reclassifications have been made to the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation:
| Accounts payable in the amount of $68,302 in the consolidated statement financial position and Accrued expenses in the amount of $12,182 were reclassify into employee benefits at December 31, 2018 to reflect the short-term obligations directly related to the employees in the corresponding item, these include salaries, vacations, bonuses and other contributions. |
(f) Going Concern
On November 29, 2018, BRW Aviation LLC (our directly controlling holding) and BRW Aviation Holding LLC (BRW) entered into a loan agreement, as borrower and guarantor, respectively, with United Airlines, Inc. (United), as lender, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative and collateral agent (the United Loan). Neither Avianca Holdings nor any of its subsidiaries are party to the United Loan and they are not obligors thereunder.

AVIANCA HOLDINGS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Republic of Panama)
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(In USD thousands)
On April 10, 2019, BRW and United informed Avianca Holdings that BRW was not in compliance with the collateral coverage ratio covenant under the United Loan and that no waiver was in place for such non-compliance.
Such non-compliance constitutes an event of the default under the United Loan. The existence of one or more events of default under the United Loan entitles United or its collateral agent to take enforcement action in relation to 78.1% of our common shares, which could result in United or its collateral agent taking steps to enforce the share pledge, including ultimately taking control.
There are a number of different definitions of change of control in our financing documents, which management identified upon gaining knowledge of BRW and United having entered into this loan, and any determination of whether a change in control has occurred is a complex assessment and is not without doubt. If United or its collateral agent were to take enforcement action on the share pledge, it could negatively affect our financing agreements and other contracts.
As a result, a change in control of Avianca Holdings, could adversely affect our financial and operational performance and affect our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our 8.375% Senior Notes due 2020 contain a change of control repurchase provision which provides that if there is a rating downgrade in such notes by each rating agency that rates the notes, and such downgrade results from a change of control, we will be required to offer to all holders of such notes the right to sell such notes to us for a purchase price of 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Our lenders would have the right to institute insolvency proceedings or foreclose on certain of our assets and we may file for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 or otherwise seek to commence a restructuring of our outstanding indebtedness.
The aggregate principal amount of our indebtedness that contains change of control events of default, change of control repurchase provisions or cross-default provisions which could be triggered in the circumstances described above is $1,512.2 million, of which $944.4 million is secured indebtedness.
At the end of April 2019, Avianca received reservation of rights letters from 2 Facility Agents in its Export Credit Agencies (ECA) financings. The mentioned reservation of rights letters is related to the acquisition of certain ATR turboprop aircraft by Synergy Aerospace, which are not operated by Avianca. In those letters, the Facility Agents state that Synergy Aerospace has failed to comply with certain obligations under other transactions that are supported by the ECAs. As of today, Avianca Holdings SA has not been informed of the precise date of such incompliance of such obligations.

AVIANCA HOLDINGS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Republic of Panama)
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(In USD thousands)
The non-compliance of Synergy under its ECA obligations could cause a potential default under Avianca Holdings ECA contracts. It is worth to mention that AVH is current under its ECA obligations and no event has been notified to AVH to anticipate any of its obligations. The aggregate principal amount of our indebtedness in relation to ECA contracts that could be affected by the non-compliance of Synergy resulting potential default provisions is $911.9 million out of which $168.8 million are already classified under current liabilities in accordance with the ordinary amortization schedule. The remainder of $743.1 million could be restated as a current liability should the noncompliance of Synergy under its ECA obligations persist.
Some of the actions taken by the management of Avianca Holdings are:
| Avianca Holdings is currently in the process of seeking amendments to its existing financing agreements in order to include United, the collateral agent and the independent third party, each pursuant to the United Loan, as permitted holders under such financing agreements in order that enforcement actions, such as the voting of the shares of Avianca Holdings by United, such collateral agent or such independent third party, would not constitute a change of control under any such financing agreement of Avianca Holdings. |
| Assuming that this approach is accepted by lenders under such financing agreements of Avianca Holdings, United would be able to enforce under the share pledge in connection with the United Loan to take ownership of the shares of Avianca Holdings without causing a change of control under any of the financing agreements of Avianca Holdings. |
| As referenced in note 28 of the financial statements Avianca Holdings has obtained an amended credit and guaranty agreement as well as an acknowledgment by Banco de Bogota, which solve the noncompliance of the company under the Banco de Bogota loan for the December 31, 2018. |
| Avianca Holdings is currently in the process of seeking a better understanding of the current non-compliance of Synergys ECA obligations. |
In addition to the aforementioned paragraphs, Avianca Holdings is not aware and has not been informed of any enforcement action in conjunction with the share pledge under the Loan Agreement entered by BRW and United Airlines, nor any enforcement action taken by the ECAs. As such, the management of Avianca Holdings has assessed the risks described above and considers that it has the ability to continue as a going concern, which is the basis for the preparation of these financial statements.

(3) | New and amended standards and interpretations |
3.1 Amendments to IFRSs that are mandatorily effective for the current year
The Group has applied for the first time some standards and modifications to the standards, which were effective for the periods beginning on January 1, 2019. The Group has not applied any standard, interpretation or modification that has been issued but is not yet effective.
IFRS 16 Leases
IFRS 16 replaces IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 which determines whether an Agreement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating LeasesIncentives and SIC-27 that evaluates the substance of transactions that involve the legal form of a lease. The standard establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to consider most of the leases in a single model, recognized in the Statement of Financial Position.
The lessors accounting under IFRS 16 remains substantially unchanged from IAS 17. Lessors will continue to classify leases as operating or financial leases using principles similar to those in IAS 17.
The group has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach, according to which the cumulative effect of the initial application was recorder at January 1, 2019. In this case, the comparative information for 2018 has not been restated.
The Group also chose to use the recognition exemptions for lease agreements, which on the start date, have a term of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option (short-term leases), and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value (low value assets).
Nature of the effects of adoption of IFRS 16
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, which establishes a comprehensive model for the identification of lease agreements and their treatment in the financial statements of both lessees and lessors.
IFRS 16, Leases, must be applied as of January 1, 2019. The new standard requires that lessees recognize an asset and liability for use right in the balance sheet for all contracts that qualify as leases (with the exception of short-term leases for which the underlying asset is of low value) start date of the lease and recognize expenses in the income statement.

The lease liability is measured at the present value of the outstanding lease payments. Lease payments will include fixed payments, variable payments based on an index or rate, reasonably secure purchase options, termination fines, fees paid by the lessee to the owners of a special purpose entity for the restructuring of the transaction, and probable. The amounts that the lease will owe under a residual value guarantee. The lease payment does not include the payment of a variable lease other than those that depend on an index or rate, no guarantee on the part of the lessee of the lessors debt, or any amount assigned to the components without a lease.
The group initially measures the value of the right-of-use assets by the value of the lease liability and includes the value of the payments made before the start of the lease, any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee.
The Group completed its assessment of the impacts of the adoption of IFRS 16 in its consolidated financial statements. The evaluation included the following activities:
Aircraft leases
As of January 1, 2019, the Group had 54 aircraft under operating leases, and the Group registered such aircraft as assets and liabilities of the Groups right of use with the requirement of the new standard.
The assets by right of use will be accounted for in accordance with IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment. Aircraft registered as a right of use will be depreciated over the term of the lease and any qualifying maintenance event will be capitalized and depreciated over the expected lease term and the expected maintenance life. Provisions for conditions of termination of the lease agreement will be recorded in the leases of aircraft as part of the assets with right of use and any change in the provision will be recognized as an adjustment to the asset with right of use and, subsequently, will be amortized to the Income statement during the remaining term of the lease contract.
Real estate leases
The Group has leases related to the operations space of the airport terminal and other real estate. For leases related to the terminals operations space, there are usually effective replacement rights in the hands of the lessor and, therefore, these are not considered the lease requirements according to the standard. Airport terminal contracts with variable lease payments are also excluded, and variable lease payments, other than those based on an index or rate, are related to the measurement of the lease liability. Leases of properties that were recorded as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities according to the new standard that relates to the Groups offices.

Other leases
Other leases related to vehicles, machinery, technology. They have been evaluated, discarding short-term contracts and low-value assets, and contracts associated with vehicles are mainly recognized as assets with right of use.
Sale and Leaseback transactions
Prior to the adoption of the New Lease Standard, the gains on sale and leaseback transactions of finance lease were deferred and recognized in the income statement over the term of the lease. Profits from sale and leaseback transactions that result in an operating lease are recognized immediately in the income statement without being deferred. Under the New Standard, gains on sale and leaseback transactions with retroactive lease (subject to adjustments for non-market terms) are recognized immediately if they comply with the requirements of IFRS 15.
At December, 31, 2018 the Group had a deferred gain for $49,242 for previous sale and lease back transactions that subsequent lease was accounted for as a sale and a finance lease applying IAS 17, the group choose not evaluate the sale transactions with the subsequent lease made prior to determine whether the transfer of the asset meets the requirements of IFRS 15 shall be accounted for as a sale, because we choose account for the subsequent lease in the same way as to account for any other financial lease that exists on the date of initial application; and we will continue to amortize any gain on the sale over the term of the lease.

Summary of the new accounting policy
The following is a summary of the Groups new accounting policies after the adoption of IFRS 16:
Assets by right of use
The Group recognizes the assets for right of use on the start date of the lease (that is, the date on which the underlying asset is available for use). The right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and are adjusted for any new measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of the assets with the right to use includes the amount of the recognized lease liabilities, the initial direct costs incurred, and the lease payments made on or before the start date, less the lease incentives received. The assets recognized by right of use are depreciated in a straight line during the shortest period of their estimated useful life and the term of the lease. The assets by right of use are subject to deterioration.
Lease liabilities
On the start date of the lease, the Group recognizes the lease liabilities measured at the present value of the lease payments that will be made during the term of the lease. Lease payments include fixed payments and variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate.
Lease payments also include the price of a purchase option that the Group can reasonably exercise and penalty payments for terminating a lease.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
(4) | Segment information |
The Group reports information by segments as established in IFRS 8 Operating segments. The Group has two reportable segments, as follows:
| Air transportation: Corresponds to passenger and cargo operating revenues on scheduled flights and freight transport, respectively. |
| Loyalty: Corresponds to the coalition loyalty program, the frequent flyer program for the airline subsidiaries of Avianca Holdings S.A. |
The Board of Directors is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) and monitors the operating results of its reportable segment separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on statement of comprehensive income and is measured consistently with the Group´s consolidated financial statements.

The Group allocates revenues by geographic area based on the point of origin of the flight. Non-current assets are composed primarily of aircraft and aeronautical equipment, which are used throughout different countries and are therefore not assignable to any particular geographic area.
(5) | Seasonality |
The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of those for the entire year because the business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. These fluctuations are the result of high vacation and leisure demand occurring during the northern hemispheres summer season in the third quarter (principally in July and August) and again during the fourth quarter (principally in December). In addition, January is typically a month in which heavy air passenger demand occurs. The lowest levels of passenger traffic are concentrated in February, March and May. Given the proportion of fixed costs, the Company and its subsidiaries expect that quarterly operating results to continue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. This information is provided to allow for a better understanding of the results; however, management has concluded that this does not constitute highly seasonal as defined by IAS 34.
(6) | Foreign exchange |
The Group has liabilities denominated in Colombian pesos, such as its pension plans and bond issues. For the three-months period ended March 31, 2019, the Group recognized a net loss of $11,749, mainly as a result of the revaluation of the Colombian peso against the US dollar of 2.3%, compared to the exchange rate as of December 31, 2018.

(7) | Employee benefits |
The Group sponsors defined benefit pension plans, which require contributions to be made to separately administered funds. The Company has also agreed to provide certain additional post-employment benefits. These benefits are unfunded as of December 31, 2018. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is determined separately for each plan using the projected unit credit cost method. Actuarial gains and losses for defined benefit plans are recognized in full in the period in which they occur in other comprehensive income.
The defined benefit liability comprises the present value of the defined benefit obligation (using a discount rate based on government bonds of the country where each benefit plan is established), less the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled. Plan assets are assets that are held by CAXDAC. Plan assets are not available to the creditors of the Group, nor can they be paid directly to the Group. Fair value is based on market price information and in the case of quoted securities on the published bid price. The value of any defined benefit asset recognized is restricted to the sum of any past service costs and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan.
The discount rate indexed by Colombian Government bonds was 7.34 % and 7.32% as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively

The notional value of derivatives recognized as hedging instruments for the year ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is equivalent to 65,820,000 and 92,560,000, respectively, gallons of jet fuel.
Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through other comprehensive income reflect the change in fair value of fuel price derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges. Hedged items are designated future purchases deemed as highly probable forecast transactions.
Cash flow hedges liabilities are recognized within Other Liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The Group purchases jet fuel on an ongoing basis as its operating activities require a continuous supply of this commodity. The increased volatility in jet fuel prices has led the Group to the decision to enter into commodity contracts. These contracts are expected to reduce the volatility attributable to fluctuations in jet fuel prices for highly probable forecast jet fuel purchases, in accordance with the risk management strategy outlined by the Board of Directors. The contracts are intended to hedge the volatility of the jet fuel prices for a period between three and twelve months based on existing purchase agreements.
The following table indicates the periods in which the cash flows associated with cash flow hedges are expected to occur, and the fair values of the related hedging instruments to March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

The terms of the cash flow hedging contracts have been negotiated for the expected highly probable forecast transactions to which hedge accounting has been applied. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, a net (loss)/gain relating to the hedging instruments of $(1,702) $(4,499) respectively is included in other comprehensive income (see Note16).

Financial instruments through profit or loss are derivative contracts not designated as hedges for accounting purposes that are intended to reduce the levels of risk of foreign currency and interest rates.
Liabilities on derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized within Other Liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Foreign currency risk
Certain foreign currency forward contracts are measured at fair value through profit or loss and are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. The foreign currency forward contract balances vary with the level of expected foreign currency sales and purchases and changes in foreign currency forward rates.
Interest rate risk
The Group incurs interest rate risk primarily on financial obligations to banks and aircraft lessors. Certain financial derivative instruments are recognized at fair value through profit or loss and are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. The interest rate contracts vary according to the level of expected interest payable and changes in interest rates of financial obligations. Interest rate risk is managed through a mix of fixed and floating rates on loans and lease agreements, combined with interest rate swaps and options. Under these agreements, the Group pays a fixed rate and receives a variable rate.
(19) | Offsetting of Financial Instruments |
The Group has derivative instruments that could meet the offsetting criteria in paragraph 42 of IAS 32 given that the Group has signed with its counterparties enforceable master netting arrangements. Consequently, when derivatives signed with the same counterparty and for the same type of notional result in gross assets and liabilities, the positions are set off resulting in the presentation of a net derivative. As of March 31, 2019, and December 31 2018, the Group has not set off derivative instruments because it has not had gross assets and liabilities with the same counterparty for the same type of notional.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods.
(a) | The fair value of financial assets which changes in OCI is determined by reference to the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at a market-based interest rate at the reporting date. |
(b) | The Group enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Derivatives valued using valuation techniques with market observable inputs are mainly interest rate contracts, foreign currency forward contracts and commodity contracts. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing and swap models, using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign currency spot and forward rates, interest rate curves and forward rate curves of the underlying commodity. |
(c) | The fair value of shortterm borrowings and longterm debt, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at a market-based interest rate at the reporting date. For finance leases, the market rate is determined by reference to similar lease agreements. |
(d) | The Group uses the revaluation model to measure its land and buildings which are composed of administrative properties. Management determined that this constitutes one class of asset under IAS 16, based on the nature, characteristics and risks of the property. The fair values of the properties were determined by using market comparable methods. This means that valuations performed by the appraisals are based on active market prices, adjusted for difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific property. The Group engaged accredited independent appraisals, to determine the fair value of its land and buildings. |

The Group files tax returns in many jurisdictions around the world. Tax returns contain issues that are potentially subject to different interpretations of tax laws and regulations, which may lead to inquiries and legal claims with tax authorities. The resolution of these consultations and legal claims may take several years, but the Group does not currently expect that resolution to have any significant impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations. The extent to which there are open consultations and legal claims will depend on the jurisdiction and the issue in question.
Income tax expense is recognized based on managements estimate of the weighted average effective annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year for each component. As of March 31, 2019, there is no effective tax rate, due to consolidated loss in the in interim period, considering that although some of the components are taxed based on their individual profit, a loss is presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. As of March 31, 2018, the effective tax rate was 68%, due to in Avianca Ecuador the net tax expense increased as a result of the reversal of provisions and use of tax losses, additionally in certain jurisdictions the expense of the income tax is calculated on presumptive bases different from the profit of the period.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(In USD thousands)
| Debt Service: should be greater than or equal to 1.4 at the end of each reporting period. For the period the debt service is 0.58. |
However, these breaches did not accelerate the due date for the repayment of the debt.
As of March 31, 2019, the most significant commitments related to financial ratios assumed by the Company and its subsidiaries are as a follow:
Avianca Holdings S.A.
The consolidated financial statements of Avianca Holdings must comply with the following financial covenants:
| EBITDAR Coverage Ratio: Should be not less than 1.75 to 1.0. |
| Capitalization Ratio: Should not be greater than 0.86 to 1.00 at the end of March 31, 2019, and the reporting periods are the quarters ending in March, June, September and December. |
| Coverage Ratio: Should not be less than 1.5 to 1.0 at the end of each reporting period. |
| Cash reserves held or controlled or otherwise available to the guarantor or its subsidiaries should be at least $350 million at all times until the relevant testing date in respect of the period ending March 31, 2019. Relevant testing date means the date on which the Avianca Holdings S.A. and subsidiaries audited financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS are delivered to the Security Trustee, no later than 180 days of the end of the financial period. |
| EBITDA Margin: At the end of each period the EBITDA margin shall not be less than 0%. The reporting periods are the quarters ending in March, June, September and December. |
Avianca S.A.
The issuance of bonds in the local Colombia Capital Market requires de compliance with the following financial covenants:
| Debt Service: should be greater than or equal to 1.4 at the end of each reporting period |
| Leverage ratio: should be less than or equal than or equal to 4.5 at the end of each reporting period. |
The reporting periods are the semesters ending in June and December, and these covenants are measured at the Avianca S.A. level.
Although a breach in these covenants has no consequences in terms of acceleration of debt, it would impose restrictions on additional indebtedness that Aerovias del Continente Americano Avianca S.A., can take outside of fleet financing and ground support equipment. Avianca S.A. had restriction to decreted dividends.

Covenants as of March 31, 2019 and 2018 include maintenance of a Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) below 4.50:1.00 for the first year and 4.00:1.00 thereafter, certain restrictions on distribution of dividends and incurrence of certain types of investments, among others.
Other Covenants
On November 29, 2018, BRW Aviation LLC (our directly controlling holding) and BRW Aviation Holding LLC (BRW) entered into a loan agreement, as borrower and guarantor, respectively, with United Airlines, Inc. (United), as lender, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative and collateral agent (the United Loan). Neither Avianca Holdings nor any of its subsidiaries are party to the United Loan and they are not obligors thereunder.
This loan is subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, the financial covenants that are expressly calculated by reference to the financial position of Avianca.
Management were not involved in the final measurement of these covenants and the role was limited to Avianca Holdings providing to BRW the information requested by BRW.
| Leverage ratio calculated by dividing Avianca Holdings adjusted net debt by Avianca Holdings adjusted EBITDAR, the required covenant level of which would currently be 5.9:1 when measured through to September 30, 2019. |
| Minimum liquidity covenant calculated based on Avianca Holdings unrestricted cash, the required covenant level of which would currently be $400 million (that is, through to the first anniversary of the funding date under the United Loan), unless certain grace period provisions are complied with by BRW so as to temporarily reduce the minimum liquidity level to $300 million. Avianca Holdings has been made aware by its shareholder BRW that the minimum liquidity covenant has been waived down to compliance at $300 million. |
| Covenant debt provision calculated by taking Avianca Holdings adjusted debt and subtracting the lesser of its unrestricted cash and $200 million, which must not exceed $5.88 billion as of December 31, 2018 and $5.71 billion as of December 31, 2019, among other thresholds. |
| Capital expenditures requirement that cumulative Avianca Holdings capital expenditures not exceed specified amounts at certain points in time (including $659 million in the year ended December 31, 2018 and $1,245 million in the year ended December 31, 2019, among other thresholds. |

| Collateral Coverage Ratio this covenant depends on the compliance of BRW on achieving certain coverage percentages at certain point in time, throughout the lifetime of the loan agreement |
A breach of above-referenced covenants or other obligations under the United loan could constitute an event of default for Avianca Holdings SA. As mentioned in note 2e, BRW informed Avianca Holdings SA of its noncompliance under the Collateral Coverage Ratio on April 10, 2019.
As Avianca Holdings and its subsidiaries are not party to the United Loan and are not obligors thereunder, any default by BRW under this loan does not per se constitute an event of default in respect of indebtedness owed by Avianca Holdings or any of its subsidiaries. All of the covenants under the financing documents of Avianca Holdings whit non-compliance has been waived to May 28, 2019.
(27) | Special charges |
Special charges include expenses associated with the organizational transformation plan, called Avianca 2021, which seeks to strengthen the companys competitiveness and accelerate the financial adjustments necessary to ensure its sustainability.
The fundamental pillars of the transformation plan are:
| Operating efficiency. Since November 2018, the company began a systematic effort to improve punctuality indicators, which today show a remarkable improvement. Changes will continue to be made in itineraries, routes, schedules and frequencies and, working with the aeronautical authority, to achieve a simpler operation and provide a better service to its customers. |
| Fleet plan adjustment: Renegotiation of the agreement with the Airbus manufacturer was achieved, which consists in the cancellation of 17 aircraft and the postponement of the incorporation of 35 units, generating a reduction of $ 2.6 billion in financial commitments and a protection of resources $350 million cash. |
| Divestment of non-strategic assets: It seeks to focus the efforts of the holding company on passengers, cargo and loyalty; therefore it has been decided to divest certain assets, among which is: |
| Sale of flight simulators to CAE (see note 13), |

(28) | Subsequent Events |
Covenant of United Loan
As described in note 2, on April 10, 2019, on a conference call with representatives of BRW and United, such representatives informed Avianca Holdings that BRW was not in compliance with the collateral coverage ratio covenant under the United Loan and that no waiver was in place for such non-compliance, constituting a subsequent event for Avianca Holdings. However, any non-compliance of BRW has not resulted in an enforcement of the share pledge of United and its collateral agent.
On April 22, 2019 BRW affirmed that it was breaching the collateral coverage ratio on December 31, 2018.
Per our analysis and assessment of this situation, Avianca Holdings has identified a situation that could have affected our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, due to the potential change of control under the Banco de Bogota loan that would have required Avianca Holdings to reclassify the totality ($ 245 million) of the loan as a short term liability.

On April 23, 2019, the board of directors of Banco de Bogota amended the credit and guaranty agreement and acknowledge and agree that:
| From the date of the Credit Agreement (June 16, 2015) and the Pledge (November 29, 2018) through to the date of this Letter (April 23, 2019), no Change of Control has occurred; and |
| Unless and until any enforcement action is taken under the terms of the Pledge, neither United Loan nor any Pledge (nor any circumstance or action existing or taken in connection therewith) shall constitute a Change of Control. |
Further Banco de Bogota agreed to include United Airlines as a permitted beneficial owner of Avianca Holdings. As such, there is no change of control under the Banco de Bogota Loan and, as a consequence, there is no default under the Banco de Bogota Loan.
Synergy Aerospace ECA Obligations
At the end of April 2019, Avianca received reservation of rights letters from the Facility Agents in its ECA financings related to the acquisition of ATR turboprop aircraft. In those letters, the Facility Agents state that Synergy Aerospace has failed comply with certain obligations under another transaction that is supported by the ECAs. It is important to note that the non-compliance with said obligations does not constitute a typical cross-default, wherein a failure of a related third party to comply with obligations to a common creditor results in an Event of Default. In order for the Facility Agents to exercise remedies due to the alleged default, they would be required to demonstrate that Synergy Aerospace is not complying with its obligations. The company advises, that the ECAs have not required AVH to take any action to cure or remedy the situation. Avianca confirms, that is current in its obligations under all ECA financings.
Sale Agreement of Aerotaxis La Costeña and Turboprop Leasing Co.
On April 23, 2019, our subsidiaries Taca and NICA entered into an agreement to sell all of Tacas 68% interest in Turboprop Leasing Company Ltd. and all of NICAs 68% interest in Aerotaxis La Costeña S.A. to Regional Airline Holding LLC, a third-party purchaser. Completion of the sale is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent. The purchase price is payable in a fixed amount of $11.7 million and in variable earn-out consideration of up to $3.8 million. The sale agreement is subject to customary representations and indemnities, among other provisions, and the purchase price payable includes an element of earn-out consideration.
We expected that the sales agreement results in a loss around $4 million.
Embraer 190 Fleet Sales Process
In April Avianca Holdings S.A.s Board of Directors authorized the Groups Management to negotiate the sale agreements and contracts of up to ten (10) Embraer E190-100AR aircraft including all or part of the spare parts associated with said fleet under the most favorable terms and conditions for the Company.
