Indus Gas Limited and its subsidiaries
("Indus" or the "Company")
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial
Statements for the six month period ended 30 September 2019
Indus Gas Limited (AIM:INDI.L), an oil & gas exploration and
development company, is pleased to report its interim results for
the six month period ending 30 September 2019.
Consolidated reported adjusted revenues, operating profit and
profit before tax for the interim period ending 30 September 2019
were US$ 27.69m (US$ 27.78 interim 2018), US$ 26.30m (US$ 23.42m
interim 2018) and US$ 26.11m (US$ 23.57m interim 2018)
respectively.
The Company has continued to make provision for a notional
deferred tax liability of US$ 1.68m (US$ 5.85m interim 2018), in
accordance with IFRS requirements.
The Petroleum & Natural Gas Regulatory Board ("PNGRB") have
invited bids for the laying of a gas pipeline from RJ-ON/6 Block
for a new pipeline route so that the pipeline tariff is minimized.
Approvals from the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons ('DGH') and
Government had already been received for the development and
enhanced production covering a total field area of 2176 sq. km with
approved gas reserves of 1.8 tcf.
Commenting, Peter Cockburn, Chairman of Indus, said:
"While the approval of an integrated Field Development Plan
('FDP') for SSG and SSF and a revised FDP for SGL is already in
place, the evacuation of gas through a new pipeline at an
appropriate tariff will accelerate the monetization 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") is 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. Consequent to this, the Group acquired an aggregate of
90 per cent participating interest in the Block and the balance 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 wells (already exercised
for SGL field as further explained in Note 3).
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial
statements are for the six months ended 30 September 2019 and are
presented in United States Dollar (US$), which is the functional
currency of the parent company and other entities in the Group.
They have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial
Reporting. They do not include all of the information required in
annual financial statements in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European union, and
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and related notes of the Group for the year ended 31
March 2019.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The accounting policies applied in these unaudited condensed
consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with the
policies that were applied for the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial
statements are for the six months ended 30 September 2019 and have
been approved for issue by the Board of Directors.
3. JOINTLY CONTROLLED ASSETS
The Group participates in an unincorporated joint arrangement
with Focus wherein the Group's interest in this arrangement was
classified as jointly controlled assets. Following implementation
of IFRS 11: Joint Arrangements, the Group's interest in this
arrangement is now classified as 'Joint operation'. All rights and
obligations in respect of exploration, development and production
of oil and gas resources under the 'Participating 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 had 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. Subsequent
to the declaration of commercial discovery in SGL field on 21
January 2008, ONGC had 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. 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. For recovery of past contract cost, production from the
field is first allocated towards exploration and evaluation cost
and thereafter towards development cost.
On the basis of above, gas production for the period ended 30
September 2019 is shared between Focus, iServices and Newbury in
the ratio of 10 percent, 65 percent and 25 percent
respectively.
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:

Further, the SSF and SSG field has also received its declaration
of commerciality on 24(th) 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 SSF and
SSG field. The participating interest in SSF and SSG field between
Focus, Iservices and Newbury will remain in ratio of 10 percent, 65
percent and 25 percent respectively for exploration and evaluation
cost and production revenue for SSF and SSG in the block.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of interim financial statements requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the application of accounting policies and the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual
results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these unaudited condensed interim consolidated
financial statements, the significant judgments made by management
in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of
estimation uncertainty were consistent with those that applied to
the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended
31 March 2019.
5. SEGMENT REPORTING
Operating segments are identified on the basis of internal
reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed
by the management 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.

(B) 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 continues 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.

13. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group's financial risk management objectives and policies
are consistent with those disclosed in the consolidated financial
statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2019.
14. INCOME TAX CREDIT
Indus Gas 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 in respect of the Oil Block incurred 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 Company has opted to claim the
expenditure incurred in respect to the SGL field. As the Group has
commenced commercial production in 2011 and has generated profits
in Newbury and iServices, the management believes there is
reasonable certainty of utilisation of such losses in the future
years and thus a deferred tax asset has been created in respect of
these.
15. BASIS OF GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTION
As at 30 September 2019, the Group had current liabilities
amounting to US$ 48,353,400 majorities of which is towards current
portion of borrowings from banks and related parties. As at 30
September 2019, the amounts due for repayment (including interest
payable) within the next 12 months for long term borrowings are US$
40,909,823 which the Group expects to meet from its internal
generation of cash from operations.
Further the group is contemplating to raise funds which will be
used for planned capital expenditures.
