12 Investments
a) Investment in The Airline Group
In March 2001, easyJet in consortium with six other UK airlines formed The Airline Group Limited in order to acquire a minority interest in
NATS, the company that owns the UK air traffic control system. At 30 September 2001, easyJet’s investment totalled £7.2 million. This comprised
equity of £10,080, loan notes of £6.8 million, bid costs of £0.1 million and accrued interest of £0.3 million. The loan notes are of two classes
bearing interest at fixed rates of 8% and 11%. The blended interest rate is 8.07%.
During the year ended 30 September 2002 the carrying value of the investment was impaired to zero. This impairment was taken due to
uncertainty over the timing of returns to easyJet following the events of 11 September 2001.
On 28 June 2007, NATS reported its results for the year ended 31 March 2007 showing a fourth consecutive year of profits, and announced
that it would recommence paying dividends in July 2007. As a consequence the present value of estimated future cash flows from easyJet’s
investment in the loan notes exceeds their carrying value, and the impairment was reversed in July.
The impairment of the equity investment has not been reversed as its fair value cannot be reliably measured due to significant variability in the
range of reasonable estimates. Accordingly the equity continues to be measured at zero, being cost less impairments booked in prior years.
The impairment reversal relating to prior years comprises:
£million
Reinstatement of original loan notes and acquisition costs 6.9
Interest earned to 30 September 2006 3.7
10.6
The impairment reversal relating to prior years is separately disclosed in the face of the income statement as it is a significant one-off item.
A further £0.6 million of interest earned between October 2006 and July 2007 is included within interest receivable and other financing income.
The loan notes fall within the category of loans and receivables, and their fair value is equal to net book value.
