Overview
Indus Gas Limited ("Indus" or "Company") is engaged in oil and
gas exploration and development in Block RJ-ON/6, Rajasthan, India.
Indus owns a 90% participating interest in the Block (excluding the
SGL gas field, in respect of which its participating interest is
63%). Other partners in the block are (i) Focus Energy Ltd., which
operates the Block, and (ii) Oil and Natural Gas Corporation
(ONGC), India, which is the licensee of the Block. The
'Participative Interest' of Indus as mentioned above is held
through its wholly owned subsidiaries iServices Investment Limited,
Mauritius and Newbury Oil Company Limited, Cyprus. The Block
currently measures an area of 2,176 sq. km and lies onshore in the
highly prospective mid Indus Basin. The first discovery in the
Block was made in 2006 and the first commercial production
commenced in 2010. The Company has received approval from the
Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) and government for the
integrated Field Development Plan ("FDP") of SSG (Pariwar) &
SSF (B&B) discoveries and for enhancement of production from
the SGL field to 90 Million Standard Cubic Feet Per Day ( MMSCFD) .
The Petroleum & Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) have re
invited bids for the laying of a gas pipeline from the gas
processing facility for the evacuation of gas from RJ-ON/6
Block.
Chairman's Statement
This has been a challenging year for the company with the
pandemic causing severe disruption to our operations. However, the
dedication and skill of our operational team enabled the company to
achieve progress despite the extremely difficult and restrictive
environment resulting from Covid-19.
The Company's resilient operational and financial performance is
highlighted by another year of good profit generation and the Board
continues to anticipate a substantial increase in revenues once the
additional gas supplies commence through the new pipeline.
The Board would like to thank their employees, shareholders,
bankers and all other stakeholders for their loyalty and continued
support. The safety and well-being of our employees and all the
workers on-site at the RJ-ON/6 Block is our number one priority and
despite the current challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic,
the management team will continue to focus on the execution of the
Company's long-term strategy of achieving both growth in reserves
and commercial production. The Indian government continues to
prioritize the increase of domestic gas production to reduce
India's dependence on expensive imported energy. The current gas
crisis, which has seen prices soar, highlights the pressing need
for India to increase its energy security by harnessing domestic
gas reserves.
Peter Cockburn
Chairman
Board of Director's Review
We are pleased to announce another strong year of consolidated
total revenues totaling US$ 48.53 million (2019-20: US$ 57.97
million) and the Company's stated long term business plan remains
firmly on track. The management has received approvals on the
integrated Field Development Plan for the SGL (revised), SSG &
SSF fields of the Block. Building on these earlier successes, the
PNGRB has re-invited the bids for the construction of a pipeline to
evacuate gas from the RJ-ON/6 Block.
Operations
Operational activities over the last year have followed the
Group's objectives and are summarised below:
a) Drilling of additional wells to support the integrated field development plan;
b) Continuation of drilling and completion of production wells
for the SGL, SSG and SSF field development;
c) Testing of wells previously drilled where gas shows were
encountered to enable the Group to increase its reserve base;
d) Testing of the B&B gas recovery potential in addition to
gas discovered in the Pariwar formation.
The current drilling campaign is progressing on schedule and
producing positive results. Following the approval of the FDP for
SSG & SSF Development area, we continue to test concepts and
obtain log and core data for analysis outside of the SGL area. In
the SGL area, work continues to increase our knowledge of the
producing intervals. Additional testing is an important element of
the operational programme to enhance production and maximize
recovery of gas through efficient asset management. These
activities continue to increase as we obtain and act on new data
and production history. An important development in respect of the
SGL Field was the discovery of new intervals within Pariwar. These
were located below the existing producing P10 sands. These
reservoirs were successfully exploited for production and going
forward will add to the reserves and production from both existing
and new wells.
Financials
During the financial year, the Company generated total revenue
of US$ 48.53 million (2019-20: US$ 57.97 million), resulting in
reported operating profit of US$ 44.48 million (2019-20 US$ 53.38
million). The reported profit after tax was US$ 27.93 million
(2019-20 US$ 49.06 million).
While the Company is not expected to pay any significant taxes
on its income for many years in view of the 100% deduction allowed
on the capital expenses incurred in the Block, the Company has
accrued a deferred tax liability of US$ 16.15 million (2019-20: US$
4.06 million) as per IFRS requirements.
Post this deferred tax liability provision, the net profit for
the year was US$ 27.93 million.
The net expenditure on the purchase of property, plant &
equipment was US$ 100.26 million (2019-20: US$ 129.42 million) .
The property plant and equipment, including development assets and
production assets, increased to US$ 1,080.95 million (2019-20: US$
980.69 million).
The current assets (excluding cash) as of 31 March 2021 stood at
US$ 165.88 million (2019-20: US$ 93.55 million), which majorly
includes US$ 8.54 million (2019-20: US$ 7.64 million) of
inventories, US$ 124.39 million (2019-20: US$ 59.56 million) of
receivables from related party and US$ 32.95 million (2019-20: US$
26.36 million) of trade receivables and other receivable.
Receivables of US$ 30.53 million of this total of US$ 32.95 million
have been realized subsequent to 31 March 2021. The current
liabilities of the Company, excluding the related party liability
of US$ 0.35 million (2019-20: US$ 0.35 million) and current portion
of long term debt of US$ 24.49 million (2019-20: US$ 29.32
million), stood at US$ 8.96 million (2019-20: US$ 8.12 million).
This comprised mainly of deferred revenue of US$ 5.08 million
(2019-20: US$ 5.08 million) (GAIL-Take or Pay Obligation) and other
liabilities of US$ 3.89 million (2019-20: US$ 3.04 million).
As of 31 March 2021, the outstanding debt of the Company to
banks was US$ 78.90 million (2019-20: US$ 100.15 million), of which
US$ 20.92 million (2019-20: US$ 25.75 million) was categorised as
repayable within a year and the remaining US$ 57.98 million
(2019-20: US$ 74.40 million) has been categorised as a long-term
liability. During the year, the Company repaid an amount of US$
21.17 million of the outstanding term loan facilities, as per the
scheduled repayment plan. As of 31 March 2021, the outstanding
unsecured debt from bonds was US$ 153.55 million (2019-20: US$
153.47 million), of which US$ 3.57 million (2019-20: US$ 3.58
million) was categorized as repayable within a year and the
remaining US$ 149.98 million (2019-20: US$ 149.89 million) has been
categorized as a long-term liability.
Outlook
During the next twelve months, we expect that the Company will
be able to achieve higher revenue and continued drilling success in
both Pariwar and B&B combined with delivering further progress
on the commercialization of our gas reserves.

1. INTRODUCTION
Indus Gas Limited ("Indus Gas" or "the Company") was
incorporated in the Island of Guernsey on 4 March 2008 pursuant to
an Act of the Royal Court of the Island of Guernsey. The Company
was set up to act as the holding Company of iServices Investments
Limited. ("iServices") and Newbury Oil Co. Limited ("Newbury").
iServices and Newbury are companies incorporated in Mauritius and
Cyprus, respectively. iServices was incorporated on 18 June 2003
and Newbury was incorporated on 17 February 2005. The Company was
listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London
Stock Exchange on 6 June 2008. Indus Gas through its wholly owned
subsidiaries iServices and Newbury (hereinafter collectively
referred to as "the Group") are engaged in the business of oil and
gas exploration, development and production.
Focus Energy Limited ("Focus"), an entity incorporated in India,
entered into a Production Sharing Contract ("PSC") with the
Government of India ("GOI") and Oil and Natural Gas Corporation
Limited ("ONGC") on 30 June 1998 for petroleum exploration and
development concession in India known as RJ-ON/06 ("the Block").
Focus is the Operator of the Block. On 13 January 2006, iServices
and Newbury entered into an interest sharing agreement with Focus
and obtained a 65 per cent and 25 per cent share respectively in
the Block. The balance of 10 per cent of participating interest is
owned by Focus. The participating interest explained above is
subject to any option exercised by ONGC in respect of individual
fields (already exercised for all the wells in SGL field as further
explained in note 3 ).
2. GENERAL INFORMATION
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards ('IFRS') as adopted by the European Union ('EU'). The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis (refer to note 28), and are presented in United
States Dollar (US$). The functional currency of the Company as well
as its subsidiaries is US$.
3. JOINTLY CONTROLLED ASSETS
As explained above, the Group through its subsidiaries-iServices
and Newbury has an "Interest sharing arrangement" with Focus in the
block, which under IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, is classified as a
'Joint operation'. All rights and obligations in respect of
exploration, development and production of oil and gas resources
under the 'Interest sharing agreement' are shared between Focus,
iServices and Newbury in the ratio of 10 per cent, 65 per cent and
25 per cent respectively.
Under the PSC, the GOI, through ONGC has an option to acquire a
30 per cent participating interest in any discovered field, upon
such successful discovery of oil or gas reserves, which has been
declared as commercially feasible to develop.
The block is divided into 3 fields - SGL, SSF and SSG.
The SGL field received its declaration of commercial discovery
on 21 January 2008. Subsequent to the declaration of commercial
discovery in SGL field, ONGC exercised the option to acquire a 30
per cent participating interest in the discovered fields on 6 June
2008. The exercise of this option would reduce the interest of the
existing partners proportionately.
However, on exercise of this option, ONGC is liable to pay its
share of 30 per cent of the SGL field development costs and
production costs incurred after 21 January 2008 and are entitled to
a 30 per cent share in the production of gas subject to recovery of
contract costs as explained below.
The allocation of the production from the field to each
participant in any year is determined on the basis of the
respective proportion of each participant's cumulative unrecovered
contract costs as at the end of the previous year or where there is
no unrecovered contract cost at the end of previous year on the
basis of participating interest of each such participant in the
field.
On the basis of the above, gas production for the year ended 31
March 2021 is shared between Focus, iServices and Newbury in the
ratio of 10 percent, 65 percent and 25 percent, respectively. ONGC
will not be entitled to any participating interest in the
production until the full exploration and development cost is
recovered by other participants.
The aggregate amounts relating to jointly controlled assets,
liabilities, expenses and commitments related thereto that have
been included in the consolidated financial statements are as
follows:
31 March 2021 31 March 2020

Expenses (net of finance income) 2,732,049 2,815,402
Commitments NIL NIL
Further, the SSF and SSG field also received its declaration of
commerciality on 24th November 2014. Subsequent to the declaration
of commerciality for SSF and SSG discovery, ONGC did not exercise
the option to acquire 30 percent in respect of SSG and SSF field.
The participating interest in SSG and SSF field between Focus,
iServices and Newbury will remain in ratio of 10 percent, 65
percent and 25 percent respectively for exploration, evaluation and
development cost, and production revenue for SSF and SSG in the
block.

6. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a
historical basis, except where specified below. A summary of the
significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the
accompanying consolidated financial statements are detailed
below.
6.1. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the financial
statements of the parent company and all of its subsidiary
undertakings drawn up to 31 March 2021. The Group consolidates
entities which it controls. Control exists when the parent has
power over the entity, is exposed, or has rights, to variable
returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to
affect those returns by using its power over the entity. Power is
demonstrated through existing rights that give the ability to
direct relevant activities, those which significantly affect the
entity's returns.
The Group recognises in relation to its interest in a joint
operation:
a. its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;
b. its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;
c. its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation;
d. its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and
e. its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.
Intra-Group balances and transactions, and any unrealised gains
and losses arising from intra-Group transactions are eliminated in
preparing the consolidated financial statements. Amounts reported
in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted
where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies
adopted by the Group.
Profit or losses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during
the year are recognised from the date of control of acquisition, or
up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.
6.2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
In preparing consolidated financial statements, the Group's
management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are
based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions,
actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. The
management's estimates for the useful life and residual value of
tangible assets, impairment of tangible and intangible assets and
recognition of provision for decommissioning represent certain
particularly sensitive estimates. The estimates and underlying
assumptions are reviewed on an on-going 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. Information about
significant judgments, estimates and assumptions that have the most
significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses is provided in note 26.
6.3. FOREIGN CURRENCIES
The consolidated financial statements have been presented in US$
which is the functional currency of the Company and the group
entities.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional
currency of the respective Group entities, using the exchange rates
prevailing at the dates of the transactions (spot exchange
rate).
Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of
exchange at the reporting date. Differences arising on settlement
or translation of monetary items and other foreign currency
transactions are recognised in consolidated statement of
comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are recorded in
the functional currency of the entity using the exchange rates at
the date of the transaction.
6.4. REVENUE RECOGNITION
In accordance with IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with
customers is recognised when or as the Company satisfies a
performance obligation by transferring control of a promised good
or service to a customer at an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in
exchange for the sale of products and service, net of taxes on
sales, estimated rebates and other similar allowances.
Sale of gas
The contracts with customers establishes, a single performance
obligation in relation to supply of natural gas. The transfer of
control of natural gas coincides with title passing to the customer
and the customer taking physical possession. The whole of the
transaction price of the contract is allocated to supply of natural
gas and the revenue has been recognised on point in time basis when
the quantities of natural gas are supplied to the customers.
Take or pay: Any payment received on account of lesser gas
volume lifted by the customer against the 'annual contracted
volume' for which an obligation exists to make-up such differential
gas in subsequent periods is recognised as Contract Liabilities in
the year of receipt. Revenue in respect of take or pay obligation
is recognised when such gas is actually supplied or when the
customer's right to make up is expired, whichever is earlier. For
other contracts, where the Company does not have any obligation to
make up such gas in subsequent period is directly recognised as
revenue.
Revenue from technical services
The Company provides technical and commercial feasibility
reports to its customers to enable them in their evaluation of
investments in oil and gas fields. Each report is considered as a
separate performance obligation and the transfer of control of
reports coincides with acceptance of reports by the customer. The
price charged for each such report is reflective of its standalone
selling price and the revenue has been recognised on point in time
basis on acceptance of the report by its customers.
6.5. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment comprises development assets and
other properties, plant and equipment used in the gas fields and
for administrative purposes. These assets are stated at cost plus
decommissioning cost less accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment losses.
Development assets are accumulated on a field by field basis and
comprise costs of developing the commercially feasible reserve,
expenditure on the construction, installation or completion of
infrastructure facilities such as platforms, pipelines and other
costs of bringing such reserves into production. It also includes
the exploration and evaluation costs incurred in discovering the
commercially feasible reserve, which have been transferred from the
exploration and evaluation assets as per the policy mentioned in
note 6.6. As consistent with the full cost method, all exploration
and evaluation expenditure incurred up to the date of the
commercial discovery have been classified under development assets
of that field.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are
reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon
disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its
use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the
asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income of the year in which
the asset is derecognized. However, where the asset is being
consumed in developing exploration and evaluation intangible
assets, such gain or loss is recognized as part of the cost of the
intangible asset.
The asset's residual values, useful lives and depreciation
methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each period
end. No depreciation is charged on development assets until
production commences.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided at
rates estimated by the management. Depreciation is computed using
the straight line method of depreciation, whereby each asset is
written down to its estimated residual value evenly over its
expected useful life. The useful lives estimated by management are
as follows:
Extended well test equipment 20 years
Bunk houses 5 years
Vehicles 5 years
Other assets
Furniture and fixture 5 years
Buildings 10 years
Computer equipment 3 years
Other equipment 5 years
Land acquired is recognized at cost and no depreciation is
charged as it has an unlimited useful life.
Production assets are depreciated from the date of commencement
of production, on a field by field basis with reference to the unit
of production method for the commercially probable and proven
reserves in the particular field.
Advances paid for the acquisition/ construction of property,
plant and equipment which are outstanding as at the end of the
reporting period and the cost of property, plant and equipment
under construction before such date are disclosed as 'Capital
work-in-progress'.
6.6. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
The Group adopts the full cost method of accounting for its oil
and gas interests, having regard to the requirements of IFRS 6:
Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. Under the full
cost method of accounting, all costs of exploring for and
evaluating oil and gas properties, whether productive or not are
accumulated and capitalized by reference to appropriate cost pools.
Such cost pools are based on geographic areas and are not larger
than a segment. The Group currently has one cost pool being an area
of land located in Rajasthan, India.
Exploration and evaluation costs may include costs of license
acquisition, directly attributable exploration costs such as
technical services and studies, seismic data acquisition and
processing, exploration drilling and testing, technical
feasibility, commercial viability costs, finance costs to the
extent they are directly attributable to financing these activities
and an allocation of administrative and salary costs as determined
by management. All costs incurred prior to the award of an
exploration license are written off as a loss in the year
incurred.
Exploration and evaluation costs are classified as tangible or
intangible according to the nature of the assets acquired and the
classification is applied consistently. Tangible exploration and
evaluation assets are recognized and measured in accordance with
the accounting policy on property, plant and equipment. To the
extent that such a tangible asset is consumed in developing an
intangible exploration and evaluation asset, the amount reflecting
that consumption is recorded as part of the cost of the intangible
asset.
Exploration and evaluation assets are not amortized prior to the
conclusion of appraisal activities. Where technical feasibility and
commercial viability is demonstrated, the carrying value of the
relevant exploration and evaluation asset is reclassified as a
development and production asset and tested for impairment on the
date of reclassification. Impairment loss, if any, is
recognized.
6.7. IMPAIRMENT TESTING FOR EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS AND PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which an
asset's cash-generating unit's carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair
value, reflecting market conditions less costs to sell, and value
in use based on an internal discounted cash flow evaluation.
Where there are indicators that an exploration asset may be
impaired, the exploration and evaluation assets are grouped with
all development/producing assets belonging to the same geographic
segment to form the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) for impairment
testing. Where there are indicators that an item of property, plant
and equipment asset is impaired, assets are grouped at the lowest
levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows to
form the CGU. The combined cost of the CGU is compared against the
CGU's recoverable amount and any resulting impairment loss is
written off in the profit or loss of the year. No impairment has
been recognized during the year.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there
is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may
no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists,
the Group estimates the asset's or CGU's recoverable amount. A
previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has
been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's
recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised.
The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset
does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no
impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such
reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is
carried at a re-valued amount, in which case the reversal is
treated as a revaluation increase.
6.8. FINANCIAL ASSETS
Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when
the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
financial instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the
contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset
expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and
rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when
it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires. Financial
assets and financial liabilities are measured initially at fair
value plus transactions costs, except for financial assets and
financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss,
which are measured initially at fair value. The value of interest
free financial assets and financial liabilities with short term
maturities are not discounted at initial recognition if the impact
is not material. Financial assets and financial liabilities are
measured subsequently as described below.
Recognition of Financial Asset
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as
measured at
- Amortised cost;
- Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - debt
investment;
- Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - equity
investment; or
- Fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their
initial recognition, except when the group changes its business
model for managing financial assets during the period.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both
of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
-- The asset is held within a business model whose objective is
to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and the
contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified
dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest on the principal amount outstanding.
-- The category determines subsequent measurement and whether
any resulting income and expense is recognised in consolidated
statement of comprehensive income.
After initial recognition, financials assets at amortised cost
are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method.
Impairment of financial assets
IFRS 9's impairment requirements use more forward-looking
information to recognise expected credit losses - the 'expected
credit loss (ECL) model'. The Group considers a broader range of
information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected
credit losses, including past events, current conditions,
reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected
collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.
In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made
between:
-- financial instruments that have not deteriorated
significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that
have low credit risk and
-- financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in
credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is
not low.
-- financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.
'12-month expected credit losses' are recognised for the first
category while 'lifetime expected credit losses' are recognised for
the second category.
The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has
been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables
only, the Group applies the simplified approach required by IFRS 9,
which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from
initial recognition of the receivables.
6.9. FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
The Group's financial liabilities include borrowings, trade
payables and other payables which are classified as financial
liabilities recognised at amortised cost. Financial liabilities are
measured subsequently at amortized cost using the effective
interest method except for financial liabilities at fair value
through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), that are carried subsequently at
fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss in
consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
6.10. INVENTORIES
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable
value. Inventories of drilling stores and spares are accounted at
cost including taxes, duties and freight. The cost of all
inventories other than drilling bits is computed on the basis of
the first in first out method. The cost for drilling bits is
computed based on specific identification method.
6.11. ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES
Income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations
to, or claims from, fiscal authorities relating to the current or
prior reporting period that are unrecovered/unpaid at the date of
the statement of financial position. They are calculated according
to the tax rates and tax laws applicable to the fiscal periods to
which they relate, based on the taxable profit for the year. All
changes to current tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a
component of tax expense in consolidated statement of comprehensive
income.
Deferred income taxes are calculated using the balance sheet
method on temporary differences. This involves the comparison of
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial
statement with their tax base. The cost incurred on the each field
is claimed as deduction from the year of commercial production.
Deferred tax is, however, neither provided on the initial
recognition of goodwill, nor on the initial recognition of an asset
or liability unless the related transaction is a business
combination or affects tax or accounting profit. Tax losses
available to be carried forward as well as other income tax credits
to the Group are assessed for recognition as deferred tax
assets.
Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is
probable that they will be offset against future taxable income.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without
discounting, at tax rates and laws that are expected to apply to
their respective period of realization, provided they are enacted
or substantively enacted at the date of the statement of financial
position.
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as
a component of tax expense in profit or loss of the year, except
where they relate to items that are charged or credited directly to
other comprehensive income or equity in which case the related
deferred tax is also charged or credited directly to other
comprehensive income or equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a
legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and
liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same
taxation authority.
6.12. BORROWING COSTS
Any interest payable on funds borrowed for the purpose of
obtaining qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take
a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or
sale, is capitalised as a cost of that asset until such time as the
assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
While the Company has not made any specific borrowings for
construction of a qualifying asset, they have capitalised certain
borrowing costs on account of general borrowings at an average rate
of borrowings for the Company in terms of IAS 23 'Borrowing
Costs'.
Any associated interest charge from funds borrowed principally
to address a short-term cash flow shortfall during the suspension
of development activities is expensed in the period. Transaction
costs incurred towards an unutilised debt facility are treated as
prepayments to be adjusted against the carrying value of debt as
and when drawn.
6.13. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, at bank in
demand deposits and deposits with maturities of 3 months or less
from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of
cash. These assets are subject to an insignificant risk of change
in value.
6.14. LEASING ACTIVITIES
IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17 Leases. All contracts that meet the
definition of a lease will be recorded in the consolidated
statements of financial position with a "Right of use" asset and a
corresponding lease liability. The Group has elected not to
recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases that
have a lease term of 12 months or less and for leases of low-value
assets.
In accordance with management's evaluation, the Group's leases
do not fall under the definition of leases as per the standard
since the Group does not have the right to direct the use of the
leased asset. The operator of the block i.e. Focus Energy Limited
has entered the lease agreements and it has not been subleased to
joint arrangement. Therefore, the Group recognises its share in the
lease cost from the operations in accordance with the IFRS 6
"Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources".
Where the Group makes the lease payments in respect of its share
of lease cost for exploration and evaluation activities or
development and production activities, these are capitalised as
part of the cost of these assets (Exploration and evaluation,
development and production assets).
6.15. OTHER PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present
obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event. It
is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be
reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the
reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any
provision net of any reimbursement is recognised in profit or loss
of the year. To the extent such expense is incurred for
construction or development of any asset, it is included in the
cost of that asset. If the effect of the time value of money is
material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected
future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the
risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the
increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised
as other finance expenses.
Provisions include decommissioning provisions representing
management's best estimate of the Group's liability for restoring
the sites of drilled wells to their original status. Provision for
decommissioning is recognised at the present value of the estimated
future expenditure when the Group has an obligation and a reliable
estimate can be made, with a corresponding addition to property,
plant and equipment which is subsequently depreciated as part of
the asset.
Commitments and contingent liabilities are not recognised in the
financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of
an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
A contingent asset is not recognised but disclosed in the
financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is
probable but when it is virtually certain than the asset is
recognised in the financial statements.
In those cases, where the possible outflow of economic resource
as a result of present obligations is considered improbable or
remote, or the amount to be provided for cannot be measured
reliably, no liability is recognised in the statement of financial
position and no disclosure is made.
6.16. SEGMENT REPORTING
Operating segments are identified on the basis of internal
reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed
by the Chief Operating Decision Maker in order to allocate
resources to the segments and to assess their performance. The
Company considers that it operates in a single operating segment
being the production and sale of gas.
7. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment comprise of the following:

The balances above represent the Group's share in property,
plant and equipment as per note 3 .
Tangible assets comprise development /production assets in
respect of SGL field and development assets in respect of SSF and
SSG field.
Development assets of the SGL field include the amount of
exploration and evaluation expenditure transferred to development
cost on the date of the first commercial discovery declared by the
Group in 2012 and also includes expenditure incurred for the
drilling of further wells in the SGL field to enhance the
production activity. Production assets in respect of SGL field
includes completed production facilities and under construction gas
gathering station - 2. The Group commenced the production facility
in October 2012, and accordingly such production assets have been
depreciated since this date .
On 19 November 2013, Focus Energy Limited submitted an
integrated declaration of commerciality (DOC) to the Directorate
General of Hydrocarbons, ONGC, the Government of India and the
Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. Upon submission of DOC,
exploration and evaluation cost incurred on SSF and SSG field was
transferred to development cost. Focus continued to carry out
further appraisal activities in the Block, and exploration and
evaluation cost incurred subsequent to 19 November 2013, to the
extent considered recoverable as per DOC submitted by Focus, is
immediately transferred on incurrence to development assets.
Further, field development plan has been approved by Directorate
General of Hydrocarbons ('DGH') as on 23 June 2017. Accordingly,
the cost incurred on the aforesaid fields from 23 June 2017 is
capitalised directly to development cost.
Development assets of SSF and SSG are explained above. The
assessment of these reserves by the Directorate General of
Hydrocarbons, ONGC, the Government of India and the Ministry of
Petroleum and Natural Gas has been received by the Company post 31
March 2017 hence pending the development for production activities,
no depreciation has been charged on the same.
The additions in development assets also include borrowing costs
US$ 47,894,782 (previous year: US$ 45,891,007). The weighted
average capitalisation rate on funds borrowed generally is 6.75 per
cent per annum (previous year 6.74 per cent).
The depreciation has been included in the following
headings-
31 March 2021 31 March 2020

Total 366,315,998 368,754,146
Net deferred tax liabilities 109,653,312 93,504,835
------------------------------------------- ------------- ---------------
a) The Group has recognised deferred tax assets on all of its
unused tax losses/unabsorbed depreciation considering there is
convincing evidence of availability of sufficient taxable profit in
the Group in the future as summarized in note 9.
b) The deferred tax movements during the current year have been
recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income.
9. INCOME TAXES
Income tax is based on the tax rates applicable on profit or
loss in various jurisdictions in which the Group operates. The
effective tax at the domestic rates applicable to profits in the
country concerned as shown in the reconciliation below have been
computed by multiplying the accounting profit by the effective tax
rate in each jurisdiction in which the Group operates. The
individual entity amounts have then been aggregated for the
consolidated financial statements. The effective tax rate applied
in each individual entity has not been disclosed in the tax
reconciliation below as the amounts aggregated for individual Group
entities would not be a meaningful number.
Income tax credit is arising on account of the following:
31 March 2021 31 March
2020
---------------------------------------------------- ------------
Deferred tax charge (16,148,477) (4,062,159)
Total (16,148,477) (4,062,159)
---------------------- ----------------------------- ------------
The relationship between the expected tax expense based on the
domestic tax rates for each of the legal entities within the Group
and the reported tax expense in consolidated statement of
comprehensive income is reconciled as follows:
31 March 31 March
2021 2020
Accounting profit for the year before
tax 44,076,864 53,121,730
Effective tax at the domestic rates applicable
to profits in the country concerned 19,252,774 23,203,572
Tax impact of bought forward losses lapsed 13,710,329 -
during the year
Non-taxable income (16,814,626) (19,141,413)
Tax expense 16,148,477 4,062,159
------------- -------------
The reconciliation shown above has been based on the rate 43.68
per cent (previous year: 43.68 per cent) as applicable under Indian
tax laws.
The Company's profits are taxable as per the tax laws applicable
in Guernsey where zero per cent tax rate has been prescribed for
corporates. Accordingly, there is no tax liability for the Group in
Guernsey. iServices and Newbury being participants in the PSC are
covered under the Indian Income tax laws as well as tax laws for
their respective countries. However, considering the existence of
double tax avoidance arrangement between Cyprus and India, and
Mauritius and India, profits in Newbury and iServices are not
likely to attract any additional tax in their local jurisdiction.
Under Indian tax laws, Newbury and iServices are allowed to claim
the entire expenditure incurred in respect of the respective fields
in the Oil Block until the start of commercial production (whether
included in the exploration and evaluation assets or development
assets) as deductible expense in the first year of commercial
production or over a period of 10 years. The Group has opted to
claim the expenditure in the first year of commercial production.
As the Group has commenced commercial production for the SGL field
in 2011 and has generated profits in Newbury and iServices, the
management believes there is reasonable certainty of utilization of
such losses in the future years and thus a deferred tax asset has
been created in respect of these.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker being the Chief Executive
Officer of the Group, reviews the business as one operating segment
being the extraction and production of gas along with the technical
assistance to other oil and gas exploration companies. The
operating segments have been aggregated due to similar economic

Group's total revenue.
25. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Group has no contingent liabilities as at 31 March 2021
(previous year Nil).
The Group has no commitments as at 31 March 2021 (previous year

26. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
In preparing consolidated financial statements, the Group's
management is required to make judgments and estimates that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. The judgments and estimates are based on
management's best knowledge of current events and actions and
actual results from those estimates may ultimately differ.
Significant judgments applied in the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements are as under:
Determination of functional currency of individual entities
Following the guidance in IAS 21 "The effects of changes in
foreign exchange rates", the functional currency of each individual
entity is determined to be the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates. In the management's view
each of the individual entity's functional currency reflects the
transactions, events and conditions under which the entity conducts
its business. The management believes that US$ has been taken as
the functional currency for each of the entities within the Group.
US$ is the currency in which each of these entities primarily
generate and expend cash and also generate funds for financing
activities.
Full cost accounting for exploration and evaluation
expenditure
The Group has followed 'full cost' approach for accounting for
exploration and evaluation expenditure against the 'successful
efforts' method. As further explained in note 6.6 , exploration and
evaluation assets recorded using 'full cost' approach are tested
for impairment prior to reclassification into development assets on
successful discovery of gas reserves.
Impairment of tangible assets
The Group follows the guidance of IAS 36 and IFRS 6 to determine
when a tangible asset is impaired. This determination requires
significant judgment to evaluate indicators triggering impairment.
The Group monitors internal and external indicators of impairment
relating to its tangible assets. The management has assessed that
no such indicators have occurred or exists as at 31 March 2021 to
require impairment testing of property, plant and equipment.
Estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements:
Useful life and residual value of tangible assets
The Group reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant
and equipment at the end of each annual reporting period.
Specifically, production assets are depreciated on a basis of unit
of production (UOP) method which involves significant estimates in
respect of the total future production and estimate of reserves.
The calculation of UOP rate of depreciation could be impacted to
the extent that the actual production in future is different from
the forecasted production. During the financial year, the directors
determined that no change to the useful lives of any of the
property, plant and equipment is required. The carrying amounts of
property, plant and equipment have been summarised in note 7.
Recognition of provision for decommissioning cost
As per the PSC, the Group is required to carry out certain
decommissioning activities on gas wells. The ultimate
decommissioning costs are uncertain and cost estimates can vary in
response to many factors including changes to relevant legal
requirements, the emergence of new restoration techniques or
experience at other production sites. The expected timing and
amount of expenditure can also change, for example, in response to
changes in reserves or changes in laws and regulations or their
interpretation. As a result, there could be adjustments to the
provisions established which would affect future financial results.
The liabilities estimated in respect of decommissioning provisions
have been summarised in note 15.
Impairment testing
As explained above, management carried out impairment testing of
property, plant and equipment of the Block on 19 November 2013 on
submission of integrated declaration of commerciality report by
Focus Energy Limited to the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons,
ONGC, the Government of India and the Ministry of Petroleum and
Natural Gas. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by
which the asset's or cash generating unit's carrying amount exceeds
its recoverable amount.
To determine the recoverable amount, management estimates
expected future cash flows from the Block and determines a suitable
interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash
flows. In the process of measuring expected future cash flows,
management makes assumptions about future gross profits. These
assumptions relate to future events and circumstances. In most
cases, determining the applicable discount rate involves estimating
the appropriate adjustment to market risk and the appropriate
adjustment to asset-specific risk factors.
The recoverable amount is determined basis gas reserves
confirmed by an independent competent person. Selling price of the
gas is based on selling price to GAIL which has been agreed for a
period of three years which has expired on September 2016 (the
Company is presently in negotiations with GAIL for increase in gas
price.). The discount rate calculation is based on the Company's
weighted average cost of capital adjusted to reflect pre-tax
discount rate and amounts to 8% p.a. Management believes that no
reasonably possible changes in the assumptions may lead to
impairment of property, plants and equipment and intangible assets
of the Block.
The Group is in the process of negotiating selling prices with
GAIL and expects that revised selling price will not be less than
the existing selling price. However, the agreement clearly
specifies that until both the parties mutually agree to change the
selling price, the prices will remain the same.
Deferred tax assets
The assessment of the probability of future taxable income in
which deferred tax assets can be utilized is based on the
management's assessment, which is adjusted for specific limits to
the use of any unused tax loss or credit. The tax rules in the
jurisdictions in which the Group operates are also carefully taken
into consideration. If a positive forecast of taxable income
indicates the probable use of a deferred tax asset, then deferred
tax asset is usually recognised in full. The recoverability of
deferred tax assets is monitored as an ongoing basis based on the
expected taxable income from the sale of gas.
27. BASIS OF GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTION
The Group has current liabilities amounting to US$ 33,801,782
(2019-20: US$ 37,790,686) the majority of which is towards current
portion of borrowings from banks and other liabilities. As at 31
March 2021, the amounts due for repayment (including interest
payable) within the next 12 months for long term borrowings are US$
24,490,194 (2019-20: US$ 29,323,478 ) which the Group expects to
meet from its internal generation of cash from operations. The
Group has sufficient cash flows to repay the maturing debt as the
Group is financially sound . The Group has net profits after tax of
US$ 27,928,387 (2019-20: US$ 49,059,571) for the year ended 31
March 2021 and positive net working capital of US$ 133,080,452
(2019-20: US$ 56,046,857) as on 31 March 2021.
The Group is contemplating to raise funds which will be used for
planned capital expenditures (including the exploration, appraisal
and development of assets).
Further, there is no significant impact of Covid-19 on the
company's ability to continue as going concern considering that the
entity is in the business of essential services.
28. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard
the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to
provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other
stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce
the cost of capital.
The Group manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to
it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk
characteristics of the underlying assets. The Group monitors
capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated
as net debt divided by total capital. Debt is calculated as total
liabilities (including 'current and non-current liabilities' as
shown in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position). Total
capital employed is calculated as 'equity' as shown in the
consolidated statement of financial position plus total debt.
31 March 2021 31 March 2020
-------------------------------- ----------------
Total debt (A) 971,399,939 827,135,546
Total equity (B) 277,353,256 249,424,869
Total capital employed (A+B) 1,248,753,196 1,076,560,415
Gearing ratio 77.79 % 76.83%
---------------------------------- ---------------- ----------------
The gearing ratio has marginally increased in the current year
due to proportionately greater increase in the draw-down of loans
from related party to fund additional exploration, evaluation and
development activities for the Group as compared to increase in
equity.
The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital
requirements. There were no changes in the Group's approach to
capital management during the year.

Risk management objectives and policies
The Group finances its operations through a mixture of loans
from banks and related parties and equity. Finance requirements
such as equity, debt and project finance are reviewed by the Board
when funds are required for acquisition, exploration and
development of projects.
The Group treasury functions are responsible for managing
funding requirements and investments which includes banking and
cash flow management. Interest and foreign exchange exposure are
key functions of treasury management to ensure adequate liquidity
at all times to meet cash requirements.
The Group's principal financial instruments are cash held with
banks and financial liabilities to banks and related parties and
these instruments are for the purpose of meeting its requirements
for operations. The Group's main risks arising from financial
instruments are foreign currency risk, liquidity risk, commodity
price risk and credit risks. Set out below are policies that are
used to manage such risks.
Foreign currency risk
The functional currency of each entity within the Group is US$
and the majority of its business is conducted in US$. All revenues
from gas sales are received in US$ and substantial costs are
incurred in US$. No forward exchange contracts were entered into
during the year.
Entities within the Group conduct the majority of their
transactions in their functional currency other than amounts of
cash held in GBP, SGD and INR. All other monetary assets and
liabilities are denominated in functional currencies of the
respective entities. The currency exposure on account of assets and
liabilities which are denominated in a currency other than the
functional currency of the entities of the Group as at 31 March
2021 and 31 March 2020 is as follows:
Particulars Functional Foreign currency 31 March 2021 31 March 2020

----------------------------------------------------- -------------- --------------
As at March 31, 2021, every 1% (increase)/decrease of the
respective foreign currencies compared to the functional currency
of the Group entities would impact profit before tax by
approximately US$(9,592) and US$9,592 respectively.
Liquidity risk
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with
the Board of Directors, which has established an appropriate
liquidity risk management framework for the management of the
Group's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity
management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by
maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve
borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and
actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of
financial assets and liabilities.
The table below summaries the maturity profile of the Group's
financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments
for the liquidity analysis.

Interest rate risk
The Group's policy is to minimize interest rate risk exposures
on the borrowing from the banks and the sum payable to Focus Energy
Limited. Borrowing from the Gynia Holdings Ltd. is at fixed
interest rate and therefore, does not expose the Group to risk from
changes in interest rate. The interest rate on bond is fixed at 8%
per annum. The Group is exposed to changes in market interest rates
through bank borrowings at variable interest rates.
The Group's interest rate exposures are concentrated in US$.
The analysis below illustrates the sensitivity of profit and
equity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates. Based on
volatility in interest rates in the previous 12 months, the
management estimates a range of 50 basis points to be approximate
basis for the reasonably possible change in interest rates. All
other variables are held constant.
Interest rate
-------------- ---------------------------
- 0.50 per
+ 0.50 per cent cent
31 March 2021 478,569 (478,569)
31 March 2020 618,722 (618,722)
--------------- --------------- ----------
Since the loans are taken specifically for the purpose of
development activities on the block, cost incurred on such
activities are capitalised under development assets. Accordingly
the borrowing costs are also capitalized to the development assets
and hence changes in the interest rates do not have any immediate
adverse impact on the profit or loss.
Commodity price risks
The Group's share of production of gas from the Block is sold to
GAIL. The prices have been agreed for a period of three years which
expired in September 2016. As per the terms of contract, after
expiry of the three years' period, the price will be reviewed
periodically and reassessed mutually between the parties. The
Company is presently in negotiations with GAIL for increase in gas
price. No commodity price hedging contracts have been entered
into.
Credit risk
The Group has concentration of credit risk against the
receivable balance from customers with reputable credit standing
and hence the Group does not consider credit risk in respect of
these to be significant. The management has evaluated the impact of
expected credit loss on the receivable balance. While evaluating
the same, macroeconomic factors affecting the customer's ability to
settle the amount outstanding have been considered. The Group has
identified gross domestic product (GDP) and unemployment rates of
the countries in which the customers are domiciled to be the most
relevant factors. The impact was insignificant and accordingly no
adjustment has been recorded in the financial statements.
Other receivables such as security deposits and cash and cash
equivalents do not comprise of a significant balance and thus do
not expose the Group to a significant credit risk.
The tables below detail the credit quality of the Group's
financial assets and other items, as well as the Group's maximum
exposure to credit risk by credit risk rating grades.
