  Doric Nimrod Air One Limited 
  COMPANY OVERVIEW 
 

Doric Nimrod Air One Limited (LSE:DNA) ("DNA" or the "Company") is a Guernsey company incorporated on 8 October 2010, and admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund Market of the London Stock Exchange and the Channel Islands Stock Exchange on 13 December 2010.

The Company's total issued share capital currently consists of 42,450,000 Ordinary Preference Shares which were admitted to trading at an issue price of 100 pence per Ordinary Preference Shares. As at 18 July 2012, the latest practicable date prior to publication of this report, the shares are trading at 123 pence per Ordinary Preference Shares.

Investment Objectives and Policy

The Company's investment objective is to obtain income returns and a capital return for its shareholders by acquiring leasing and then selling a single aircraft. The Company purchased one Airbus A380-861 Aircraft, manufacturers' serial number 016 (the "Asset") in December 2010, which it leased (the "Lease") to Emirates Airlines ("Emirates"), a national carrier owned by The Investment Corporation of Dubai based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Distribution Policy

The Company aims to provide its shareholders with an attractive total return, comprising income, from distributions through the period of the Company's ownership of the asset, and capital, upon the sale of the asset.

Performance Overview

All payments by Emirates have to date been made in accordance with the terms of the Lease.

During the period since the Company's inception to date and in accordance with the Distribution Policy DNA declared four dividends of 2.25 pence per Ordinary Preference Share during the period to 31 March 2012 and two dividends of 2.25 pence per Ordinary Preference Share after the reporting period. Future dividend payments are anticipated to continue to be declared and paid on a quarterly cycle and as per the Prospectus are targeted at 2.25 pence per Ordinary Preference Share per quarter subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Return of Capital

If and when the Company is wound up (pursuant to a shareholder resolution, including the liquidation resolution) the Company intends to return to shareholders the net capital proceeds upon the eventual sale of the asset subject to compliance with the Company's Laws, (including any applicable requirements of the solvency test contained therein).

Liquidation Resolution

Although the Company does not have a fixed life, the articles of incorporation require that the Directors convene a general meeting of the Company six months before the end of the term of the Lease where an ordinary resolution will be proposed that the Company proceed to an orderly wind-up at the end of the term of the Lease and the Directors will consider (and if necessary, propose to shareholders) alternatives for the future of the Company, including re-leasing the Asset, or selling the Asset and reinvesting the capital received from the sale of the Asset in another aircraft.

  CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 
 

I am very pleased to present shareholders with the Company's first annual financial report, covering the period from incorporation on 8 October 2010 until 31 March 2012.

Notwithstanding the extreme turbulence and uncertainty within the global economy, and international markets, I am glad to report that the Company has performed well. During the reporting period, and in line with the targeted distribution policy outlined in the Company's Prospectus, the Company has declared four interim dividends of 2.25p per Ordinary Preference share and subsequently the Company declared two further interim dividends of 2.25p per Ordinary Preference share for the period from 1 April 2012 to date. Future divided payments are anticipated to be declared and paid on a quarterly basis.

The Company's 42,450,000 shares were admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund Market of the London Stock Exchange plc. and listed on the Channel Islands Stock Exchange on 13 December 2010. The Company's investment objective is to obtain income returns and a capital return for its shareholders by acquiring, leasing and then selling a single aircraft. The Company purchased one Airbus A380-861, aircraft manufacturer's serial number 016, which it leased to Emirates Airlines, the national carrier owned by the Investment Corporation of Dubai, based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. A senior secured finance facility provided by Westpac, in the amount of $122m provided the monies along with the placing proceeds for the acquisition of the aircraft. On the purchase of the plane, the Company entered into a lease with Emirates for an initial term of 12 years, with fixed lease rentals for the duration. The debt portion of the funding will fully amortised over the 12-year term of the lease, with the aim of leaving the aircraft unencumbered on the conclusion of the lease.

Both the aircraft and the lessee have performed well over the period. Despite the turmoil in the global economy, international passenger air traffic remained robust (though air freight traffic was more subdued). Emirates continue to report strong performance. This was greatly aided by the airline's ability to adjust flight schedules swiftly, and redeploy aircraft about the network, thus optimising revenue. The airline

operates with a remarkably high passenger seat factor, whilst at the same time increasing seat capacity.

The lease payments received by the Company from Emirates cover repayment of the debt and all interest, as well as income to pay dividends to shareholders. Emirates bears all costs (including maintenance, repair and insurance) relating to the aircraft, during the lifetime of the lease. The aircraft is equipped with four Engine Alliance 7200 power plants. The Company's Asset Manager, Doric Asset Finance & Verwaltungs GmbH, continues to monitor the lease and reports regularly to the Board. Nimrod Capital LLP, the Company's Placing and Corporate and Shareholder Advisory Agent, continues to liaise between the Board and shareholders, which includes distribution of quarterly factsheets.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our service providers for all their help and assistance and all shareholders for their continued support of the Company.

  ASSET MANAGERS REPORT 
 

1. The Assets

The Airbus A380 with manufacturer's serial number (MSN) 016 is registered in the United Arab Emirates under the registration mark A6-EDC. For the period from acquisition of the aircraft to on 13 December 2010 until the end of May 2012, a total of 721 flight cycles were registered. Total flight hours were 6,427. This is equal to an average flight duration of approximately 8.66 hours.

Amongst its 169 aircraft in operation as of March 2012, Emirates has a fleet of 21 A380s which currently serve 16 destinations worldwide: Auckland, Bangkok, Beijing, Hong Kong, Jeddah, Kuala Lumpur, London Heathrow, Manchester, Munich, New York JFK, Paris, Rome, Seoul, Shanghai, Sydney and Toronto. In the second half of 2012 Emirates is planning to launch A380 flights to Melbourne, Tokyo and Amsterdam. Emirates has an additional 69 of this model on firm order for delivery through 2017.

Recent visits of the A380 owned by the Company (MSN 016) included London, Munich, New York and Sydney during the second quarter of 2012.

Maintenance status

Emirates maintains its A380 aircraft fleet based on a maintenance program according to which minor maintenance checks are performed every 1,500 flight hours and more significant maintenance checks (so called C checks) every 24 months or 12,000 flight hours, whichever comes first. The next C check is expected to fall due in the last quarter of 2012.

Emirates bears all costs (including maintenance, repair and insurance) relating to the aircraft during the lifetime of the lease.

Inspections

The next inspection of the aircraft by the asset manager is scheduled during the aforementioned C check later in 2012.

Hairline Cracks

Since late 2011, hairline cracks have been discovered in a small number of L-shaped metal brackets within the wing structure of some A380s. There are about 2,000 brackets (known as rib-skin attachments or wing rib feet) in each wing, which attach the wing's upper and lower skins to ribs running throughout the wing. The aircraft remain fully airworthy and pose no risk to flight safety as affirmed by European Aviation Safety Agency ("EASA") and Airbus.

In recent months Airbus has traced the source of the cracking in A380 wing structures to the choice of a less flexible aluminum alloy used to make the wing brackets, stresses involved during assembly when fitting portions of the wing together plus thermal fatigue during flight at very low temperatures.

In February 2012, EASA issued an updated airworthiness directive ("AD") in relation to the wing rib feet cracks, which called for all A380s in operation to be checked for cracks in the brackets that attach to the wing's ribs before reaching 1,300 flights. Aircraft already approaching or beyond the threshold were ordered to perform the checks and repairs almost immediately. The aircraft owned by the Company (MSN 016) was inspected in March 2012. The cracks detected on this occasion were repaired. The aircraft has since returned to normal commercial service.

In late June EASA issued a new AD pertaining to wing rib feet cracks on the Airbus A380 aircraft, which now also specifies repeat inspections of A380 aircraft at defined intervals. This will allow A380 aircraft to continue flying until a permanent fix for wing rib feet cracking has been incorporated in the aircraft. The length of the applicable inspection interval is determined by the location within the wing where previous wing rib feet repairs have been made and the type of repair that has been previously made. Depending on this, an inspection interval of between 560 and 1200 flight cycles is required. After performing this repeat inspection, the follow-on repeat inspections shall have an inspection interval of 560 flight cycles.

Airbus has developed a permanent fix to wing rib feet cracking, which is currently being certified by EASA. A retrofit modification will be installed on in-service aircraft,

while a production modification will be applied for new aircraft. The retrofit is expected to become available in late 2012/early 2013. A further AD is anticipated which will instruct A380 operators to implement the retrofit. At that time, the retrofit will be installed in existing A380s. New aircraft with the production modification are expected to be delivered beginning in early 2014. The permanent fix developed by Airbus will preserve the full design service life of the A380 aircraft.

Airbus has confirmed that it may take up to 8 weeks to incorporate the permanent fix in the A380. Another option is for the fix to be gradually accomplished during regularly scheduled "heavy checks" when the aircraft is two, four, and six years of age. To implement the repair gradually, some extra days would be added to each two to three week "heavy check". Aircraft operators are expected to choose between the various repair solutions depending on their fleet planning and flight schedules.

All the repair works will be covered by the applicable manufacturer's warranties. In the meantime Emirates will continue to operate the Asset and their lease rental obligations will remain absolute and unconditional on these events.

2. Market Overview

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released its revised industry outlook in June 2012 according to which global industry profits are still expected to reach USD 3.0 billion this year, unchanged from the last update in March. A fall in oil prices, stronger than expected growth in passenger traffic and a bottoming out of the freight market are driving some improvements in the profitability outlook. However, this is offset by the continued European sovereign debt crisis, which has led markets to expect a further deterioration and damage to economic growth.

IATA expects that 2012 will mark a second successive year of declining airline profits. In 2010 the industry's profits peaked at USD 15.8 billion, before dipping in 2011 to USD 7.9 billion net profit. Although airlines face the common challenges of high fuel prices and economic uncertainty, the regional picture is diverse. Compared with the previous forecast in March 2012, North American and Latin American carriers are expected to see improved prospects. But the outlook for European,

Asian-Pacific and Middle Eastern carriers has been downgraded, with European losses now expected to be USD 1.1 billion (nearly double the previously forecast USD 600 million loss).

World GDP growth, a key driver of airline profitability, is expected to be 2.1% in 2012. That is slightly better than the anticipated 2.0% growth forecast in March. But this is still a slower growth environment than last year, and one in which airlines will struggle to recover cost increases. Historically, the airline industry has fallen into losses (at a global level) when world GDP growth drops below 2.0%.

Given the actual slower economic growth environment it has been notable that up to April passenger demand, measured in revenue passenger kilometers, continued to expand at an above-trend rate of 6.0%. The strongest markets have been those linked with Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, where economies have been more robust. However, a weaker second half of the year is expected as deepening problems in Europe damage confidence. Even so, the strength of travel demand in the first part of this year has caused an upward revision to the forecast for air travel growth to 4.8% from 4.2% in the previous forecast.

3. Lessee - Emirates Key Financials and Outlook

The aircraft is leased to Emirates for an initial term of 12 years, with fixed lease rentals for the duration.

Emirates revenue reached a record high of USD16.9 billion in the 12 months ended 31 March 2012, an increase of 16% from the previous financial year. Passenger revenue climbed 18% year-on-year, to USD13.3 billion due to the overall expansion of passenger numbers as well as higher fares.

Geographically, East Asia and Australasia remains Emirates' most important region in terms of revenue, accounting for almost 30%, just ahead of Europe. The carrier's revenue base is increasingly diffused globally, particularly with the introduction of

several new routes into North and South America and the development of African destinations.

Despite this strong revenue growth, the stifling cost of jet fuel impacted Emirates' bottom line with the airline's profit dropping to USD 409 million, representing a decrease of 72% over last year's record results. Fuel costs increased by 44.4% compared to the preceding year to USD 6.6 billion, representing about 40% of Emirates' total operating costs. Emirates Chairman and CEO, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, stated that if fuel prices remained where they were in the previous financial year, the net profit "would have again soared to a new record high".

These solid financial results not only represent Emirates 24(th) consecutive year of profit, but the carrier was also able to strengthen its cash position with an increase of 11.6% to USD 4.2 billion. Emirates Net Asset as at 31 March 2012 were AED 21,466 million (approximately equivalent to US$5,844 million at the date of this report).

Emirates received 22 new aircraft during the course of the past financial year including 14 Boeing 777-300ERs, two Boeing 777Fs (freighters) and six A380s from Airbus, the highest number of aircraft received in a single year of operation. With an increased fleet, Emirates launched 11 new destinations in 2011/2012 including a strong focus on North America and South America in the final quarter with Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Seattle and Dallas-Fort Worth all launching between January and March 2012. The Emirates fleet, one of the youngest in the industry, carried a record number of almost 34 million passengers at an 80% passenger load factor to a network of 122 destinations in 72 countries. As of 31 March 2012 Emirates has 169 aircraft in operation, with firm orders for another 223 passenger aircraft, including 69 A380.

Most recently the carrier added a new route to Ho Chi Minh City in June. This will be followed by new services to Barcelona and Lisbon in July and Washington DC in September.

Employee numbers at the airline stand at around 42,500 and Emirates plans to recruit more than 4,000 workers this year.

4. Aircraft - A380

At the end of May 2012, the global A380 fleet consisted of 75 planes that were in service with eight operators: Emirates (21 A380 aircraft), Singapore Airlines (17), Qantas (12), Deutsche Lufthansa (9), Air France (7), Korean Airways (5), China Southern Airlines (3) and Malaysia Airlines (1).

Malaysia Airlines was the latest operator to take delivery of the 75(th) aircraft of the type at the end of May 2012. Thai Airways is scheduled to receive its first Airbus A380 in the second half of 2012. This will bring the total number to nine worldwide operators. The in-service fleet is expected to approach 100 aircraft by the end of 2012.

The Guernsey Financial Services Commission ("GFSC") has issued a new Corporate Governance Code (the "Code") which came into effect on 1 January 2012. The Company is, however, not required by Guernsey law to comply with the Code, as it is not regulated by the GFSC.

The Company has, however, voluntarily committed to comply with the UK Corporate Governance Code. Companies which report against the UK Corporate Governance Code are also deemed to meet the requirements of the Code.

Save for departing from the requirements to: (i) have a chief executive (since the Company does not have any executive Directors); (ii) have a senior independent director (since the Company considers that each Director who is not Chairman can effectively fulfil this function); (iii) have a remuneration committee (given the small size of the exclusively non-executive and independent Board); (iv) have a nomination committee (given the small size of the exclusively non-executive and independent Board); (v) appoint the Directors for a term of six years (given the term of the Leases is twelve years) and (vi) have an internal audit function (as the Company has no executives or employees of its own), the Company is not presently aware of any departures from the UK Corporate Governance Code.

Board Responsibilities

The Board comprises three Directors, who meet quarterly to consider the affairs of the Company in a prescribed and structured manner. Biographies of the Directors appear on page 11 demonstrating the wide range of skills and experience they bring to the Board. All the Directors are non-executive and independent. The Board regularly reviews the balance, knowledge and effectiveness of the Board, to identify if any additional experience or skills are needed and to ensure that the current directors have sufficient available time to undertake the tasks required and remain independent.

To date no director of the Company has resigned. However, directors are able and encouraged to provide statements to the Board of their concerns and ensure that any items of concern are recorded in the Board minutes.

All directors receive an annual fee and there are no share options or other performance related benefits available to them. All Directors are paid a fee of GBP15,000 per annum and the Chairman is paid an additional fee of GBP5,000 per annum. The Chairman of the Audit Committee is paid an additional GBP3,000 per annum.

Board meetings are held at least four times per year to consider the business and affairs of the Company for the previous quarter, at which meetings the Directors also consider and if thought suitable, approve, the payment of a dividend in accordance with the Company's distribution policy. Between these quarterly meetings the Board keeps in contact by email and telephone as well as meeting to consider specific matters of a transactional nature. Additionally it holds strategy meetings with its relevant advisors as appropriate. The directors are kept fully informed by the Asset Manager and Secretary of all matters that are relevant to the business of the Company and should be brought to the attention of the directors and/or shareholders. There is regular contact with the Secretary who is responsible to the Board for ensuring that Board procedures are followed.

The Directors also have access to the advice and services of the Asset Manager, Corporate and Shareholder Advisory Agent and the Secretary. The Directors may also, in the furtherance of their duties, take independent professional advice at the Company's expense.

During the Period the Board met seven times. Of those seven meetings six were quarterly board meetings and one was an ad hoc meeting in respect of the listing of the Company's shares. The director's attendance is summarised below:-

Audit Committee

The directors are all members of the Audit Committee, with Norbert Bannon acting as Chairman. The Audit Committee has regard to the Guidance on Audit Committees published by the Financial Reporting Council in October 2008 and December 2010. The Audit Committee examines the effectiveness of the Company's internal control systems, the annual and half-yearly reports and financial statements, the auditors' remuneration and engagement, as well as the auditors' independence and any non-audit services provided by them.

The Audit Committee considers the nature, scope and results of the auditor's work and reviews prior to providing a recommendation to the Board on the re-appointment or removal of the auditor. The Audit Committee receives information from the Secretary and the external auditors in respect of the audited financial statements prior to making a recommendation to the Board.

The Audit Committee meets at least twice annually, being before the Board meets to consider the Company's half-yearly and annual financial reports. The Audit Committee operates within clearly defined terms of reference and provides a forum through which the Company's external auditors report to the Board. The terms of reference of the Audit Committee are available upon request of the Secretary. During the Period the Audit Committee met once and all three members attended this meeting.

Internal Control and Financial Reporting

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

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

The Board on a semi-annual basis conducts a full review of the Company's risk management systems including consideration of a risk matrix which covers various areas of risk including corporate strategy, accuracy of published information, compliance with laws and regulations, relationships with service providers and business activities.

Administration and Secretarial duties for the Company are performed by Anson. Asset Management services are provided by DAFV.

The directors of the Company clearly define the duties and responsibilities of their agents and advisors. The appointment of agents and advisers is conducted by the Board after consideration of the quality of the parties involved and the Board monitors their ongoing performance and contractual arrangements. The Board also specifies which matters are reserved for a decision by the Board and which matters may be delegated to its agents and advisers.

Dialogue with Shareholders

All holders of Ordinary Preference Shares in the Company have the right to receive notice of, and attend, the general meetings of the Company, during which members of the Board will be available to discuss issues affecting the Company.

The primary responsibility for Shareholder relations lies with the Company's Corporate and Shareholder Advisory Agent. In addition, the Directors are always available to enter into dialogue with shareholders and the Chairman is always willing to meet major shareholders as the Company believes such communication to be important. The Company's Directors can be contacted at the Company's registered office or via the Secretary.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

The Law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under the Law they have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and applicable law.

The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:

   --     properly select and apply accounting policies; 

-- present information, including accounting policies, in a manner that provides relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable information;

-- provide additional disclosures when compliance with the specific requirements in IFRSs are insufficient to enable users to understand the impact of particular transactions, other events and conditions on the entity's financial position and financial performance; and

   --     make an assessment of the company's ability to continue as a going concern. 

The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Law. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the company and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in Guernsey governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Disclosure of information to auditors

The Directors who held office at the date of approval of this Directors' Report confirm in accordance with the provisions of Section 249 of the Law that, so far as they are each aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's Auditors are unaware; and each Director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a Director to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's Auditors are aware of that information.

Auditors

Ernst & Young LLP have expressed their willingness to continue in office as Auditor.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DORIC NIMROD AIR ONE LIMITED

We have audited the financial statements of Doric Nimrod Air One Limited for the period ended 31 March 2012 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes 1 to 20. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Section 262 of the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors

As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on pages xx to xx, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board's Ethical Standards for Auditors.

Scope of the audit of the financial statements

An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the Annual Financial Report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

Doric Nimrod Air One Limited (the "Company")

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DORIC NIMROD AIR ONE LIMITED (continued)

Opinion on financial statements

-- have been properly prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS); and

-- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

   --     proper accounting records have not been kept; or 
   --     the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or 
   --     we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

   Notes to the Financial Statements 
  as at 31 March 2012 
 
     1       GENERAL INFORMATION 
 
             Doric Nimrod Air One Limited (the "Company") was incorporated 
              in Guernsey on 8 October 2010 with registered number 52484. 
              Its share capital is denominated in Sterling and consists 
              of one class of Ordinary Preference Shares and one class of 
              Subordinated Administrative Shares. The Company's Ordinary 
              Preference Shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange 
              ("LSE") and Channel Islands Stock Exchange ("CISX") and have 
              been admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund Market ("SFM"). 
 
             The Company's investment objective is to obtain income returns 
              and a capital return for its shareholders by acquiring, leasing 
              and then selling a single aircraft. 
 
             The significant accounting policies adopted by the Company 
              are as follows: 
 
     2       ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Notes to the Financial Statements 
  as at 31 March 2012 
 
     2       ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 
             Basis of Preparation 
    (a)       (continued) 
             IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements- amendments to 
              revise the way other comprehensive income is presented effective 
              for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012.

             No formal analysis has been completed on the impact of the 
              adoption of any of the above standards and interpretations 
              on the financial statements in the period of initial application. 
 
    (b)      Taxation 
             The Company has been assessed for tax at the Guernsey standard 
              rate 0%. Income Tax has been provided based on the tax rate 
              applicable to the Company, on its current year profits. 
 
    (c)      Share capital 
             Ordinary Preference Shares ("Shares") are classified as equity. 
              Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of Shares 
              are recognised as a deduction from equity. 
 
    (d)      Expenses 
             All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis. 
 
    (e)      Interest Income

              into GBP at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the 
              transaction. 
 
             Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies 
              at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency 
              at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign 
              exchange differences arising on translation are recognised 
              in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

   Notes to the Financial Statements

     2       ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 
 
    (g)      Cash and Cash equivalents 
             Cash at bank and short term deposits which are held to maturity 
              are carried at cost. Cash and cash equivalents are defined 
              as call deposits, short term deposits with a term of no more 
              than 3 months from the start of the deposit and highly liquid 
              investments readily convertible to known amounts of cash and 
              subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. For the 
              purposes of the Statement of Cash Flow, cash and cash equivalents 
              consist of cash and deposits at bank. 
 
    (h)      Segmental Reporting 
             The directors are of the opinion that the Company is engaged 
              in a single segment of business, being acquisition and lease 
              of one Airbus A380-861 aircraft (the "Aircraft"). 
 
    (i)      Going concern 
             The directors' made an assessment of the Company having adequate 
              resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable 
              future. The directors believe the Company is well placed to 
              manage its business risks successfully despite the current 
              economic climate as the Loan interest has been fixed and the 
              fixed rental income under the Operating Lease means that the 
              rent should be sufficient to repay the Loan and provide surplus 
              income to pay for the company's expenses and permit payment 
              of dividends. Accordingly, the directors have adopted the 
              going concern basis in preparing the financial information. 
              Management is not aware of any material uncertainty that may 
              cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue 
              as a going concern. 
 
    (j)      Leasing and rental income 
             The lease relating to the Aircraft has been classified as 
              an operating lease as the terms of the lease do not transfer 
              substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the 
              lessee. The Aircraft is shown as a non-current asset in the 
              Statement of Financial Position. Further details of the lease 
              are given in Note 11. 
 
             Rental income from the operating lease is recognised on a 
              straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Initial direct 
              costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease 
              are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised 
              on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 
 
    (k)      Property, plant and equipment - Aircraft 
             In line with IAS 16 Property Plant and Equipment, the Aircraft 
              is initially recorded at the fair value of the consideration 
              paid. The cost of the asset is made up of the purchase price 
              of the Aircraft plus any costs directly attributable to bringing 
              it into working condition for its intended use. Accumulated 
              depreciation and any recognised impairment loss are deducted 
              from cost to calculate the carrying amount of the Aircraft.

   Notes to the Financial Statements

     2       ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 
 
    (k)      Property, plant and equipment - Aircraft (continued) 
             Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of 
              the asset less the estimated residual value of GBP69.2 million 
              over the estimated useful life of the asset of 12 years, using 
              the straight line method. The depreciation method reflects 
              the pattern of benefit consumption. The residual value is 
              reviewed annually and is the amount the entity would receive 
              currently if the asset were already of the age and condition 
              expected at the end of its useful life. Useful life is also 
              reviewed annually and for the purposes of the financial statements 
              represents the likely period of the Company's ownership of 
              these assets. Depreciation starts when the asset is available 
              for use. 
 
             At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying 
              amounts of its Aircraft to determine whether there is any 
              indication that the asset has suffered any impairment loss. 
              If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the 
              asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment 
              loss (if any). 
 
             Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs 
              to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated 
              future cash flows are discounted to their present value using 
              a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments 
              of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset 
              for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been 
              adjusted. 
 
             If the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to be 
              less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the 
              asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment 
              loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. 
 
             Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying 
              amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of 
              its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying 
              amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have 
              been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for 
              the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss 
              is recognised immediately in profit or loss. 
 
    (l)      Financial liabilities 
             Financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially 
              measured at fair value, net of transaction costs and subsequently 
              measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

     2       ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 
 
             Financial liabilities 
    (l)       (continued) 
             The effective interest method is a method of calculating the 
              amortised cost of the financial liability and of allocating 
              interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest 
              rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash 
              payments through the expected life of the financial liability, 
              or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying 
              amount on initial recognition. 
 
             The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only 
              when, the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled 
              or they expire. 
 
    (m)      Net asset value 
             In circumstances where the directors, as advised by the Asset 
              Manager, are of the opinion that the net asset value ("NAV") 
              or NAV per Share, as calculated under prevailing accounting 
              standards, is not appropriate or could give rise to a misleading 
              calculation, the directors, in consultation with the Administrator 
              and the Asset Manager may determine, at their discretion, 
              an alternative method for calculating the value of the Company 
              and shares in the capital of the Company, which they consider 
              more accurately reflects the value of the Company. 
 
     3       SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES 
 
             In the application of the Company's accounting policies, which 
              are described in note 2, the directors are required to make 
              judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts 
              of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from 
              other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are 
              based on historical experience and other factors that are 
              considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from 
              these estimates. 
 
             The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an 
              ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised 
              in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision 
              affects only that period, or in the period of the revision 
              and future periods if the revision affects both current and 
              future periods. 
 
             Critical judgements in applying the Company's accounting policies. 
             The following are the critical judgements and estimates that 
              the directors have made in the process of applying the Company's 
              accounting policies and that have the most significant effect 
              on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

   3     SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES (continued) 
 
        Residual value and useful life of Aircraft 
        As described in note 2 (k), the Company depreciates the Aircraft 
         on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the 
         Aircraft and taking into consideration the estimated residual 
         value. In making its judgement regarding residual value estimates 
         the directors considered previous sales of similar aircraft and 
         other available aviation information. The useful life of the 
         asset is estimated based on the expected period for which the 
         Company will own and lease the aircraft. 
 
        Issue of initial shares 
        As described in note 15, Shares issued prior to the public Placing 
         were accounted for at the fair value of the Shares on the date 
         of issue. The directors estimated the value of these Shares issued 
         based on the anticipated launch price and their assessment of 
         the respective dates of issue and the probability of a successful 
         launch. The difference between fair value and actual cash proceeds 
         is shown as a movement in reserves in the Statement of Changes 
         in Equity. 
 
        Operating lease commitments- Company as lessor 
        The Company has entered into an operating lease on an Aircraft. 
         The Company has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms 
         and conditions of the arrangements, that it retains all the significant 
         risks and rewards of ownership of this asset and accounts for 
         the contract as an operating lease. 
 
        The Company has determined that the operating lease on the Aircraft 
         is for 12 years based on an initial term of 10 years followed 
         by an extension term of 2 years. Should the lessee choose to 
         exit their respective lease at the end of the initial term of 
         10 years, a penalty equal to the remaining 2 years would be due. 
 
        Impairment 
        Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash 
         generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the 
         higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in 
         use. The directors monitor the assets for any indications of 
         impairment as required by IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment 
         and IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. 
         Impairment indicators for the Aircraft could include items such 
         as cracks in the wing, however the directors take expert advice 
         on any indicators which arise.

   Rental income is derived from the leasing of the Aircraft. 
    Rent is split into A rent, which is received in US Dollars 
    ("USD") and B rent, which is received in GBP. Rental 
    income received in USD is translated into the functional 
    currency (GBP) at the date of the transaction. 
 
    A and B rental income receivable will decrease/increase 
    respectively, 10 years from the start of each lease. 
    An adjustment has been made to spread the actual total 
    income receivable over the term of the leases on an 
    annual basis.

  8     EARNINGS PER SHARE 
 
        Earnings Per Share ('EPS') is based on the net gain for 
         the period attributable to shareholders of GBP9,390,986 
         and on 42,450,000 Shares, being the weighted average number 
         of Shares in issue during the period. The directors are 
         of the opinion that calculating EPS using 42,450,000 Shares 
         follows the substance of IAS 33 Earnings per Share, paragraph 
         26 as the share transactions prior to the Placing did not 
         result in a corresponding change in the Company's resources. 
         The calculation of EPS under the alternative method would 
         give an EPS of 24.91 pence based on 37,702,222 Shares, being 
         the alternative weighted average number of Shares in issue 
         during the period. There are no dilutive instruments and 
         therefore basic and diluted earnings per Share are identical.

    lease without terminating the lease or Special Termination 
    Events (as defined by the Lease) occurring. If at the end 
    of the lease the Company makes the choice to sell the asset 
    rather than leasing it out again, Emirates will be given 
    first refusal on the asset.

          The Operating lease is for an Airbus A380-861 aircraft. 
           The term of the lease is for 12 years ending November 
           2022. The initial lease is for 10 years ending November 
           2020, with an extension period of 2 years ending November 
           2022, in which rental payments reduce. The present value 
           of the remaining rentals in the extension period must 
           be paid even if the option is not taken. 
 
          At the end of the lease term the lessee has the right 
           to exercise an option to purchase the Aircraft if the 
           Company chooses to sell the Aircraft. If a purchase option 
           event occurs the Company and the lessee will be required 
           to arrange for a current market value appraisal of the 
           Aircraft to be carried out by three independent appraisers. 
           The purchase price will be equal to the average valuation 
           of those three appraisals.

   14      BORROWINGS (continued) 
 
 
         The loan is from Westpac for USD 122,000,000, runs for 
          12 years until December 2022 and has an effective interest 
          rate of 5.4950%, this is the same as the contractual 
          fixed interest rate. The loan is secured on the Aircraft. 
          No breaches or defaults occurred in the period. Transaction 
          costs of arranging the loan have been deducted from the 
          carrying amount of the loan and will be amortised over 
          its life. 
 
         In the directors' opinion, the above carrying values 
          of the bank loans are approximate to their fair value.

  The main risks arising from the Company's financial instruments 
  are capital management risk, foreign currency risk, credit 
  risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The Board 
  regularly review and agrees policies for managing each 
  of these risks and these are summarised below: 
 
 
  Doric Nimrod Air One Limited (the "Company") 
   Notes to the Financial Statements 
  as at 31 March 2012 
 
 
  17     FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued) 
 
  (a)    Capital management 
         The Company manages its capital to ensure that the Company 
          will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising 
          the return to shareholders through the optimisation of 
          the debt and equity balance. The Company is not subject 
          to any externally imposed capital requirements. 
 
         The capital structure of the Company consists of debt, 
          which includes the borrowings disclosed in note 14, cash 
          and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity 
          holders, comprising issued capital and retained earnings. 
         The Company's Board of directors reviews the capital 
          structure on a bi-annual basis. 
 
         Equity includes all capital and reserves of the Company 
          that are managed as capital. 
 
  (b)    Foreign currency risk 
         The Company's accounting policy under IFRS requires the 
         use of a GBP historic cost of the assets and the value 
         of the USD loan as translated at the spot exchange rate 
         on every balance sheet date. In addition, USD operating 
         lease receivables are not immediately recognised in the 
         balance sheet and are accrued over the period of the 
         lease. The directors consider that this introduces artificial 
         variance due to the movement over time of foreign exchange 
         rates. In actuality, the USD operating lease receivables 
         should offset the USD payables on amortising loans. The 
         foreign exchange exposure in relation to the loan is 
         thus largely naturally hedged. 
 
         Lease rentals (as detailed in Notes 4 and 11) are received 
          in USD and GBP. Those lease rentals received in USD are 
          used to pay the loan repayments due, also in USD. Both 
          USD lease rentals and loan repayments are fixed and are 
          for similar sums and similar timings. The matching of 
          lease rentals to settle loan repayments therefore mitigates 
          risks caused by foreign exchange fluctuations. 
 
 
  The carrying amounts of the Company's foreign currency 
   denominated monetary assets and liabilities at the reporting 
   date are as follows: 
 
                                           Liabilities         Assets 
                                                   GBP            GBP 
 
  Bank loan (USD)                           69,334,930              - 
  Cash and cash equivalents 
   (USD)                                             -      3,162,388

   (b)      Foreign currency risk (continued) 
           The following table details the Company's sensitivity 
            to a 15 per cent increase in GBP against USD. 15 per 
            cent represents the directors' assessment of the reasonably 
            possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity 
            analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated 
            monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period 
            end for a 15 per cent change in foreign currency rates. 
            A positive number below indicates an increase in profit 
            and other equity where GBP strengthens 15 per cent against 
            USD. For a 15 per cent weakening of the GBP against USD, 
            there would be a comparable impact on the profit and 
            other equity, and the balances below would be negative: 
 
                                                                    USD impact

           On the eventual sale of the Aircraft, the Company, because 
            aircraft prices are generally determined in US dollars 
            will be subject to foreign currency risk. 
 
   (c)     Credit Risk 
           Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will 
            default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial 
            loss to the Company. 
 
           The credit risk on cash transactions are mitigated by 
            transacting with counterparties that are regulated entities 
            subject to prudential supervision, or with high credit 
            ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies. 
           The Company's financial assets exposed to credit risk 
            are as follows: 
 
                                                                   31 Mar 2012

  Doric Nimrod Air One Limited (the "Company") 
   Notes to the Financial Statements 
  as at 31 March 2012 
 
 
  17    FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued) 
 
 
  (c)    Credit Risk (continued) 
         Cash is held in accounts with Barclays and Westpac Banking 
          Corporation ("Westpac"), which have credit ratings given 
          by Moody's of A3 and Aa2 respectively. 
 
         There is a contractual credit risk arising from the possibility 
         that the lessee may default on the lease payments. This 
         risk is mitigated, as under the terms of the lease agreements 
         between the lessee and the Company, any non payment of 
         the lease rentals constitutes a Special Termination Event, 
         under which the lease terminates and the Company may 
         either choose to sell the asset or lease the Aircraft 
         to another party. 
 
         At the inception of each lease, the Company selected 
          a lessee with a strong balance sheet and financial outlook. 
          The financial strength of Emirates is regularly reviewed 
          by the Board and the Asset Manager. 
 
  (d)    Liquidity Risk 
         Liquidity risk is the risk that Company will encounter 
          difficulty in realising assets or otherwise raising funds 
          to meet financial commitments. The Company's main financial 
          commitments are its ongoing operating expenses and loan 
          repayments to Westpac. 
 
         Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management 
          rests with the board of directors, which established 
          an appropriate liquidity management framework at the 
          incorporation of the Company, through the timings of 
          lease rentals and loan repayments. The Company manages 
          liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking 
          facilities and borrowing facilities, by monitoring forecast 
          and actual cash flows, and by matching profiles of financial 
          assets and liabilities. 
 
 
  The table below details the residual contractual maturities 
   of financial liabilities. The amounts below are contractual 
   undiscounted cash flows, including both principal and interest 
   payments, and will not agree directly to the amounts recognised

   Notes to the Financial Statements

  17    FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued) 
 
 
          Interest rate risk 
   (e) 
          Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes 
          in interest rates will affect future cash flows. It is 
          the risk that fluctuations in market interest rates will 
          result in a reduction in deposit interest earned on bank 
          deposits held by the Company. 
 
          The Company mitigates interest rate risk by fixing the 
           interest rate on the loan and the lease rentals. 
 
          The following table details the Company's exposure to 
           interest rate risks:

  all other variables were held constant, the Company's 
  net assets attributable to shareholders as at 31 March 
  2012 would have been GBP22,420 greater due to an increase 
  in the amount of interest receivable on the bank balances.
