(2) | Basis of preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements |
(a) | Statement of compliance |
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months period ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 interim Financial Information, promulgated 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, 2020. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the group as of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 were prepared and submitted by Management and authorized for issuing by Audit Committee (delegated by the Board of Directors) on August 11, 2021.
(b) | Basis of measurement |
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for, land and buildings (classified as administrative property), assets held for sale, derivative financial instruments and plan assets, which 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 |
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in US Dollars, which is also the parent company’s 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 condensed consolidated interim 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. The evolution of COVID-19 and the Chapter 11 proceedings generates uncertainty that could negatively affect the assumptions, for that reason the actual results may differ from these estimates.

(In USD thousands)
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 Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. However, the current environment generates uncertainty and complexity in the estimates calculate.
The following are critical judgments used in applying accounting policies that may have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements:
• | Our assessment of whether there are material uncertainties that may raise significant doubts about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our situation related to Chapter 11 creates material uncertainties that may raise significant doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. See note 2 (e) and (f). |
• | The Group operates certain aircraft under a financing structure which involves the creation of structured entities that acquire aircraft with bank and third–party financing. This relates to 75 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 Group controls these special purpose entities and therefore, that 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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements in the next financial year:
• | The Group recognizes revenue from tickets that are expected to expire without having been used based on historical data and experience, and the impact of COVID-19 in the future trend of use of tickets by passengers. To define the expected expiration, with the support of an independent third-party specialist, the administration must make estimates of the historical experience, which is an indication of the future behavior of the clients, analyzed by type of rate. As indicated by the accumulated data, the administration evaluates the historical data once a year or more frequently according to experience and makes the necessary adjustments. |

• | 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. 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 on unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax may 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 (See note 12 y 16). The Group engaged independent valuation specialists to assists management in determine the fair value of these assets as of December 31, 2020. 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, it’s realized by transportation and loyalty cash generating units. An impairment charge is recognized when the asset’s carrying value exceeds its net undiscounted future cash flows and its fair market value. The amount of the charge is the difference between the asset’s 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.

• | The cost of defined pension plans and other post–employment medical benefits, as well as the present value of the pension obligation are determined using actuarial valuations carried out by an independent third party actuarial specialist. 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 long–term 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 rate of the bonds issued by the Colombian Government.
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 estimated a provision for expected credit losses based on informed and reasonable information about past events, present conditions and reasonable and justifiable forecasts regarding future economic conditions, considering credit risk, classification and late payment. |
• | 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) | Voluntary reorganization process, Insolvency of Avianca Peru and Going Concern |
Background
As a result of the adverse effects of COVID-19, which has resulted in a 90% decline in global passenger traffic and reducing industry revenues worldwide by $314 billion, according to the International Air Transport Association. Avianca’s scheduled passenger operations had been grounded since mid-March 2020, reducing its consolidated revenue and placing significant pressure on its cash reserves. In order to preserve and reorganize our businesses, Avianca Holdings S.A. and certain of its subsidiary companies filed, on May 10, 2020, and September 21, 2020, voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, which cases are being jointly administered under Case No. 20-11133 (MG). LifeMiles™, Avianca’s loyalty program, is administered by a separate company and is not part of the Chapter 11 filing.
Chapter 11 process
The Chapter 11 process is a well-established legal process in the United States of America that is recognized by many other countries around the world. The process is a temporary one that, allows a company to reorganize and complete a financial and operational restructuring under the supervision of the U.S. federal court system, while continuing its operations under the oversight of its board of directors and management team. Many companies, including airlines, have used the Chapter 11 process to reorganize their financial obligations and emerge as stronger organizations. Avianca itself underwent a Chapter 11 process in 2003 that allowed it to position itself for expansion in Latin America.
Through the Chapter 11 reorganization process, Avianca intends to:
• | Protect and preserve operations so Avianca can continue to operate and serve customers with safe and reliable air travel, under the strictest biosafety protocols, as COVID-19 travel restrictions are gradually lifted. |
• | Ensure connectivity and drive investment and tourism by continuing as Colombia’s flagship airline, serving over 50% of the domestic market in Colombia and providing essential nonstop service across South America, North America and European markets as well as continuing cargo operations, playing a key role in the economic recovery of Colombia and the Company’s other core markets following the COVID-19 pandemic. |

AVIANCA HOLDINGS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Debtor in Possession)

(In USD thousands)
• | Preserve jobs in Colombia and other markets where the Company operates, with Avianca directly responsible for more than 14,500 jobs throughout Latin America, including more than 10,000 in Colombia, and working with more than 3,000 vendors. |
• | Restructure the Company’s balance sheet and obligations to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, this will lead to a reduction in demand in the coming years, requiring a reduction in existing capacity, as well as comprehensively address liabilities, leases, aircraft orders and other commitments. |
As a consequence of our filing Chapter 11 petitions, our operations and our ability to develop and execute a business plan, as well as our continuation as a going concern, this will be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with reorganization.
These risks include our ability to:
• | Maintain adequate cash on hand throughout the Chapter 11 process, |
• | generate cash flow from operations, which depends largely on factors beyond our control relating to developments deriving from the spread of COVID-19, |
• | consummate the plan of reorganization with respect to our Chapter 11 proceedings, |
• | maintain relationships with our creditors, suppliers, service providers, customers, directors, officers, and employees, |
• | maintain contracts that are critical to our operations on reasonably acceptable terms and conditions, |
• | bear the high costs of reorganization proceedings and related fees. |
Additionally, these risks include that:
• | The ability of third parties to seek and obtain court approval to terminate contracts and other agreements with us, |
• | third parties that are outside the jurisdiction of the United States Bankruptcy Court to enforce their claims against the Debtors, either during the Chapter 11 cases or after their conclusion, |
• | the bankruptcy court may (i) shorten the exclusivity period for us to propose and confirm a Chapter 11 plan appoint a Chapter 11 manager, (ii) appoint a Chapter 11 trustee (iii) convert the Chapter 11 proceedings to Chapter 7 liquidation proceedings or (iv) dismiss the Chapter 11 cases, and |
• | the actions and decisions of our creditors and other third parties who have interests in our Chapter 11 proceedings may be inconsistent with our plans. |
Any delays in our Chapter 11 proceedings increase the risks of our inability to reorganize our business and emerge from bankruptcy and may increase our costs associated with the reorganization process.

The Group, through a separate petition, will request the approval of the Court of an amendment to the current DIP documents, to include two new tranches of loans or notes, that will fully refinance its obligations under “Tranche A” of the DIP for US $ 1,400 million, and that will provide approximately US $ 220 million of additional liquidity and will be converted into long-term debt financing at the time Avianca emerges from Chapter 11, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions.
On August 2021, the Group’s Board of Directors approved the filing of the reorganization plan (the “Plan”) and the disclosure statement attached to the Plan (the “Statement”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District. of New York (the “Court”).

On October 13, 2020, the DIP financing agreements became effective and the initial disbursements thereunder took place, disclosed in note 14 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. As of April 30, 2021, the Group received the last disbursement of DIP financing.
As set forth in the DIP Order and the applicable agreements, the DIP financing agreements are collateralized by all of the assets and properties (whether tangible, intangible, real, personal or mixed) of Avianca Holdings S.A. and the guarantors (including pledges on Avianca Holdings S.A.’s equity in LifeMiles and its material subsidiaries such as those that conduct cargo operations, pledges on certain of the obligors’ intellectual property and control agreements in respect of certain of Avianca Holdings S.A.’s and its subsidiaries’ bank accounts).

As part of this process, the Group plans to obtain exit financing for US $ 1.6 billion (corresponding to debt) to refinance US $ 1.4 billion of obligations related to Tranche A of the DIP financing, in addition to providing US $220 million in incremental liquidity to meet its objective of having US $ 1 billion of liquidity at the time of the exit of Chapter 11. Prior to the start of a competitive process to determine the most attractive capital availability. The Group is working on negotiating the final terms and conditions related to its option to capitalize the obligations of the DIP financing of Tranche B, for an amount of US $ 902 million.
Claims processing
On November 16, 2020, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York granted the motion for a Claims Date (Bar Date) establishing January 20, 2021 (“The general deadline”) as the general deadline for each entity (including individuals, partnerships, joint venture agreement, trusts and government units) file proofs of claim against the Debtors. Government units had until February 5, 2021 (the “Deadline for Government Units”), to present evidence of claim.
Entities that have a claim against any of the Debtors arising from the rejection of successive performance contracts and leases in force, must present evidence of claim no later than (i) on the General Deadline Date, or (ii) the last of the date that is (a) thirty days after the date of entry of an order from the Bankruptcy Court authorizing the rejection of said contract or lease, or (b) the applicable rejection date (the “Deadline for Rejection Claims”).
25
AVIANCA HOLDINGS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Republic of Panama)
(Debtor in Possession)
Notes to Condensed Consolidated interim Financial Statements
(In USD thousands)
In accordance with the Bar Date Order, if any of the Debtors modifies or complements its Annexes, the affected claimant must present its evidence of claim or rectify its evidence of claim already presented with respect to such modification of its Claim Prior to the Request in the Annex, no later than (a) on the General Deadline Date, or (b) within thirty days following the date on which the affected claimant is notified about the modification of the Annex, whichever is later “Deadline for Annexes Modified ”).
There is no certainty in relation to the value that can be assigned to the debts pre-petition of the Debtors.
Under Section 365 and other relevant sections of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may assume, assign and or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases, including, without limitation, agreements relating to aircraft and aircraft engines (collectively, Aircraft Property) and leases of real property, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions.
In general, rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a prepetition breach of such contract or lease and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors from performing their future obligations under such contract or lease. The contract counterparty or lessor, for its part, may assert a prepetition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach. Generally, the assumption of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure existing defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease.
As of December 31, 2020, the Debtors had rejected twelve Aircraft leases relating to four ATR 42, four Airbus A320, two Airbus A321 and two Airbus A330, which have been returned to the respective lessor. The Debtors expect that liabilities subject to compromise and resolution in the Chapter 11 Cases will arise in the future as a result of damage claims resulting from the Debtors’ rejection of various executory contracts and unexpired leases. Due to the uncertain nature of many of the potential rejection claims, the magnitude of such claims is not reasonably estimable at this time. Such claims may be material. As of June 30, 2021, the rejection of two A319 aircraft related to the reorganization process under Chapter 11. The Group has recorded in the financial statements the amounts for claims for which there was sufficient and reasonable information to estimate this claim.
(f) | Going Concern |
As a result of the adverse effects of COVID-19 and related effects on the economy and flight traffic, the Group recognized a net loss after tax of $653,445 as of June 30, 2021 ($1,094,135 as of December 31, 2020), that originated an equity deficit of $1,900,598; and the consolidated statement of financial position reflected an excess of current liabilities over current assets as of June 30, 2021 of $5,489,294 ($4,843,757 as of December 31, 2020) and excluding air traffic liability and loyalty program deferred revenue of $4,907,886 ($4,282,560 as of December 31, 2020).

Management’s plans, under the Chapter 11 situation, include the following actions:
• | Cost savings and liquidity preservation measures, including temporary deferral of non-essential expenses and capital expenditures. |
• | Legal and financial advice for the development and implementation of the reorganization plan under Chapter 11 laws and the appropriate decision-making under the current conditions, which includes rejection of contracts and flexibility of lease contracts to limit the consumption of cash in the restructuring period of the Group, |
• | Contract renegotiation with suppliers and lessors. |
• | Fleet simplification, in line with the protection granted under Chapter 11. |
• | Launching commercial strategies to re activate demand for Air services. |
The gradual reactivation of the passenger operation, in conjunction with the disbursements received from the DIP financing, have enabled the company to continue to implement its restructuring plan, focused on successfully emerging from Chapter 11 as a viable entity. However, the operations and the ability to develop and execute the business plan, renegotiate the liabilities at sustainable levels, as well as the continuation as a going concern, will be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the reorganization process under Chapter 11. Such risk implies a significant doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, the Group may not be able to realize its assets and settle the liabilities in the normal course of business.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts or classification of reported assets, liabilities, and expenses, that would otherwise be necessary if the going concern assumption was not appropriate.

Reference to the Conceptual Framework (amendments to IFRS 3)
• | Modifications are made to the references to align them with the conceptual framework issued by the IASB in 2018 and incorporated into our legislation, in that sense the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in a business combination, on the transaction date, will correspond to those that meet the definition of assets and liabilities described in the conceptual framework. |
This amendment is effective as of January 1, 2022.
Property, Plant and Equipment: Products Obtained Before Intended Use (amendments to IAS 16)
The amendment prohibits a company from deducting from property, plant, and equipment costs the amounts received from sales of produced items while the company prepares the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sales income and related costs in profit or loss.
This amendment is effective as of January 1, 2022.
Onerous Contracts — Cost of Fulfillment of a Contract (amendments to IAS 37)
• | It is clarified that the cost of fulfilling a contract includes the costs directly related to the contract (the costs of direct labor and materials, and the allocation of costs directly related to the contract). The amendment specifies what costs a company must include when evaluating whether a contract will generate losses. |
This amendment is effective as of January 1, 2022.
Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020
• | Modification to IFRS 1. Subsidiary that adopts IFRS for the first time. Paragraph D13A of IFRS 1 is added, incorporating an exemption on subsidiaries that adopt the IFRS for the first time and take as balances in the opening statement of financial position the carrying amounts included in the financial statements of the parent (literal a of the paragraph D16 of IFRS 1) so that it may measure the accumulated exchange differences for conversion by the carrying amount of said item in the consolidated financial statements of the parent (also applies to associates and joint ventures). |

28
AVIANCA HOLDINGS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Republic of Panama)
(Debtor in Possession)
Notes to Condensed Consolidated interim Financial Statements
(In USD thousands)
• | Amendment to IAS 41. Taxes in fair value measurements. The phrase “nor tax flows” is eliminated from paragraph 22 of IAS 41, the reason for the above is because “before Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020, IAS 41 had required an entity to use the flows of cash before taxes when measuring fair value but did not require the use of a discount rate before taxes to discount those cash flows”. In this way, the requirements of IAS 41 are aligned with those of IFRS 13. |
• | Extension of the Temporary Exemption from the Application of IFRS 9 Paragraphs 20A, 20J and 20O of IFRS 4 are amended to allow the temporary exemption that allows, but does not require, the insurer to apply IAS 39. |
• | Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement instead of IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning before January 1, 2023 (because from that date there is a new international requirement contained in IFRS 17). |
This amendment is effective as of January 1, 2022.
IFRS 17 Insurance contracts
IFRS 17 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with comparative figures. Early application is allowed, as long as the entity also applies IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 during or before the date on which IFRS 17 is first applied. It establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts within the scope of the Standard. This standard is not applicable to the Group.
Definition of an accounting estimate (amendments to IAS 8)
• | The amendments introduce a new definition of accounting estimates: clarifying that they are monetary amounts in the financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. |
• | The amendments also clarify the relation between accounting policies and accounting estimates by specifying that a company develops an accounting estimate to achieve the objective established for an accounting policy. |

This amendment is effective as of January 1, 2023
Deferred taxes related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction (Amendments to IAS 12, Income Tax)
• | This amendment clarifies how companies account for deferred taxes on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations, with a focus on reducing practical diversity. |
• | Companies must recognize a deferred tax asset and a deferred tax liability for temporary differences that arise in the initial recognition of a lease and a provision for decommissioning. |

(5) | Seasonality |
As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the governments of Colombia and other countries in which we operate, have temporarily suspended international and some national passenger operations, as a result of these measures, this generated a decrease in passenger revenue compared to previous periods.
Normally, 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 hemisphere’s summer season in the third quarter (principally in July and August) and again during the fourth quarter (principally in December). However, fluctuations in high holiday now demand will be affected by the gradual recovery of passenger confidence in the wake of the pandemic.
(6) | Foreign exchange |
For the six months period ended June 30, 2021, the Group recognized a net gain of $24,975, Compared to June 2020, the Group presents a net variation of $ 19,426, mainly generated by the increase in the monetary liability position associated with the increase in accounts payable in Colombian pesos and Brazilian reals, Additionally, there was a decrease in the exchange rate in Colombian pesos of 0.1% and in Brazilian reals 8.8% compared to the previous period.
(7) | Employee benefits |
The Group sponsors defined benefit pension plans, which require contributions to be made to separately administered funds. The Group has also agreed to provide certain additional post-employment benefits. These benefits are unfunded as of June 30, 2021. 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.

(13.1) Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life
For the purpose of verifying the impairment of goodwill acquired through combinations of business and other intangibles with indefinite useful life, acquired before 2020, have been assigned to the air transport segment, since the Group considers that according to the operational and financial synergies between the different companies of the Group, this is the most appropriate and least arbitrary to measure the recoverable amount. In line with operative model of the Group.
The carrying amount of the goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life allocated to the air transport segment is as follows:
June 30, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | |||||||
Goodwill | $ | 308,033 | $ | 308,033 | ||||
Routes | 23,463 | 23,463 | ||||||
Trademarks | 3,938 | 3,938 |
The group performed its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2020 consistently with previous years. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Group did not identify potential impairment of goodwill or intangible assets, nor on equipment properties.
Basis for calculating recoverable amount
The recoverable amounts of CGU’s have been measured based on their value-in-use.
Value-in-use is calculated using a discounted cash flow model, Cash flow projections are based on the Business plan approved by the Board covering a five-year period that have been impacted by the decrease in demand and the restrictions imposed by various governments in the region and the corresponding adjustment of capacity offered.
Cash flows extrapolated beyond the five-year period are projected to increase based on long-term growth rates, Cash flow projections are discounted using the CGU’s pre-tax discount rate.
Under the Board of directors approved business plan in the fourth quarter of 2020 and knows the impacts generated by COVID-19, moreover the business plan was approved in the DIP reorganization process. The cash flows that have been used in the value-in-use calculations of business plans reflect the estimated negative impact of COVID-19 and the travel restrictions imposed on governments, based on the information that was known at the time and that is being put into practice by the Directorate under the existing conditions.
Macroeconomic assumptions are based on market data extracted from Bloomberg for both the expected WTI price and the expected interest rate levels, which have a direct impact on our cost projections, all costs are affected by inflation.

The Group does not have fuel price hedges for the periods ended June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
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 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 June 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:
June 30, 2021 | Fair Value | 1–12 months | 12–24 months | |||||||||

(18) | Derivative financial instruments |
The group does not have derivative financial instruments at fair value with changes in results as of June 30, 2021.
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 with Lifemiles Ltd. Banks. 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 June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, 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 re–assessing 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 on 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 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 word. 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 management’s estimate of the weighted average effective annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year for each component.

The Group’s consolidated loss after tax amount to $ 633,588 in June 2021 and $ 331,035 in June 2020 and the tax expense for June 2021 to $ 19,857 and June 2020 to $ 21,665. The group consolidated effective tax rate in respect of continuing operations for the six months ended 30 June 2021 was (3%) and for the six months ended 30 June 2020 was (6.5%). The change in effective tax rate was caused mainly that in the year 2021, airline losses increased; however, the deferred tax on these losses was not recognized because there are no expectations of recovery in the foreseeable future

Internal investigations to determine whether we may have violated the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other laws
In August 2019, the Group disclosed that it had discovered a business practice at the Group whereby Group employees, including members of senior management, as well as certain members of the board of directors, provided “things of value,” which based on its current understanding have been limited to free and discounted airline tickets and upgrades, to government employees in certain countries. The Group commenced an internal investigation, supervised by the Audit Committee, and retained reputable outside counsel and a specialized forensic investigatory firm to determine whether this practice may have violated the FCPA or other potentially applicable U.S. and non-U.S. anti-corruption laws. In 2018, the Group implemented certain revisions to its policies designed to prevent such practice from occurring, including limiting the number of persons at the Group who are authorized to issue free and discounted airline tickets and upgrades, and requiring additional internal approvals. On August 13, 2019, the Group voluntarily disclosed this investigation to both the U.S. Department of Justice and the SEC, and, subsequently, to the Colombian Superintendency of Corporations.
Also, in February 2020, the Office of the Attorney General of Colombia served Avianca with a search warrant of its offices with the objective of collecting information related to this investigation, As has been its practice, Avianca has cooperated and will continue to cooperate with all pertinent authorities, Avianca will provide the information being requested to the Office of the Attorney General of Colombia.
The Colombian government investigations described above, consultations and related developments in other countries, and the Group’s internal investigations continue. Any action in these or related inquiries, procedures or other developments, or any agreement that the Group enters to resolve the same, may result in substantial fines, reputational damage and other penalties and adverse consequences. Based on the opinion of its external advisor, the Group believes that there is no adequate basis at this time to estimate accruals or quantify any contingencies with respect to these matters. For investigations by the U.S government, on May 28, 2021, the SEC sends a communication notifying Avianca Holdings S.A that the investigation against Grupo Avianca Holdings S.A. has concluded. and suggests that no action be taken against it.
Internal Investigation regarding potential impacts at the group due to corrupt business practices at Airbus
In January 2020, our primary aircraft supplier Airbus entered into a settlement with authorities in France, the United Kingdom and the United States regarding corrupt business practices, Airbus’ settlement with French authorities references a possible request by an Avianca “senior executive” in 2014 for an irregular commission payment, which was ultimately not made, As a result of this development, we have voluntarily initiated an internal investigation to analyze our commercial relationship with Airbus and to determine if we have been the victim

of any improper or illegal acts, We have disclosed this internal investigation to the U.S. Department of Justice and the SEC, as well as the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce and the Colombian Office of the Attorney General, We are cooperating with all agencies, Our internal investigations are not complete and we cannot predict the outcome of these internal investigations or what potential actions may be taken by the U.S. Department of Justice, the SEC or local regulators or officials, If it is found that these business practices violated the FCPA or other similar laws applicable to us, or we were at any time not in compliance with any other laws governing the conduct of our business, we could be subject to criminal and civil remedies, including sanctions, monetary penalties and regulatory actions, which could materially and adversely affect us, The Office of the Attorney General of the Nation in Colombia has authorized us to act as potential victims of these events, and as such we have been participating. As of the date of this report, the investigations remain ongoing.
Review of potential inadvertent violations of the U.S. Cuban Assets Control Regulations
In September 2019, the Group disclosed that it had become aware that it had become subject to U.S. jurisdiction for purposes of certain U.S. sanctions laws and regulations administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. This jurisdictional nexus was established as a result of the transfer, on November 9, 2018, by the Group’s parent company, Synergy Aerospace Corp, (Synergy), of 78% of the Group’s voting common shares (Share Transfer) from a Panama based company to a Delaware limited liability company wholly-owned by Synergy (BRW). Synergy had formed BRW and effected the Share Transfer unilaterally in connection with BRW obtaining a loan from United Airlines. Having become aware that as a consequence of the ownership change the Group is considered a person subject to U.S. jurisdiction under certain of OFAC’s sanctions programs, the Group engaged outside counsel to conduct a review aimed at identifying any potential violations of U.S. sanctions regulations. As a result of this review, the Group identified that the regularly scheduled commercial passenger flights between cities in Central and South America and Havana, Cuba and related Cuba operations that it has historically conducted may have constituted inadvertent violations of the U.S. Cuban Assets Control Regulations (CACR) during the period following the Share Transfer. During the period beginning on the date of the Share Transfer and ending on September 30, 2019, such flights to and from Havana, Cuba comprised an inconsequential amount of the Group’s gross revenues. On September 25, 2019, the Group submitted to OFAC a preliminary voluntary self-disclosure addressing such potential inadvertent violations, followed by more detailed full narrative voluntary self-disclosures submitted on October 4, 2019, and November 25, 2019. OFAC is currently reviewing these voluntary self-disclosures. In concert with these voluntary disclosures, the Group commenced the termination of all of its Cuba-related activities. As of to date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Group no longer operates any flights to Cuba, nor does the Group sell any passenger or cargo tickets involving Cuba (including via its codeshare and interline partners). The Group no longer maintains a physical presence in Cuba and has issued termination notices for all of its legacy Cuba-related contracts and employees (for example, ground services, ticket sales, and other services in Cuba that supported the Company’s now-terminated Cuba passenger flights). The Group has kept OFAC apprised of these actions and remains in communication with OFAC concerning the Group’s voluntary self-disclosures and the termination of the Company’s Cuba-related activities. Based on the above, the Group believes that there is no adequate basis at this time for estimating accruals or quantifying any contingency with respect to these matters.

In light of the above, the Group has embarked on a comprehensive effort to improve and expand its compliance program worldwide, including enhancements to the Group’s existing sanctions screening processes, implementation of a comprehensive sanctions compliance program, and sanctions training for key Group employees. As of the date of this report, the investigations remain ongoing.
OFAC has completed its review of Avianca’s dealings with Cuba and Iran. OFAC has decided to address this matter by issuing a Cautionary Letter instead of pursuing a civil monetary penalty or taking other enforcement action. The Cautionary Letter published on June 16, 2021, represents a final enforcement response to the apparent violations but does not constitute a final agency determination as to whether violations have occurred. The letter does not preclude OFAC from taking future enforcement action should additional information warrant renewed attention.
OFAC confirmed the closure of its investigation initiated on the occasion of the involuntary violations of the economic sanction’s regime against Cuba / Iran, with the issuance of a warning letter to the Avianca Holdings airlines that were linked to the investigation. Consequently, OFAC will not initiate enforcement actions or impose financial penalties.
