The balance sheet of Air Sahara indicates a financial mess, which is believed to have led Jet Airways to change its mind in the deal.
At the time of the deal Sahara's losses ran up to Rs 226 crore and within two months of the takeover between 19 January and 23 March Sahara saw losses of about 164 crore.
Jet Airways also discovered that between September 2005 and January 2006 Sahara's liabilities had grown to Rs 443 crore from just 238 crore.
