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.

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

--------------- -------------- ------------------- -------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------ --------------- -------------- ----------------- ----------------
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-

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.
10. INVENTORIES
Inventories comprise the following:
31 March 2021 31 March

Total 8,538,264 7,635,420
------------------------------------ ----------------------------- -------------------
The above inventories are held for use in the exploration, development and production activities. These are valued at cost determined based on policy explained in paragraph 6.10. Inventories of US$ 51,365 (previous year: US$ 115,326) were recorded as an expense under the heading 'cost of sales' in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income during the year ended 31 March 2021. Inventories of US$ 12,258,604 (previous year: US$ 11,960,540) were capitalized as part of development assets.

The Group has no commitments as at 31 March 2021 (previous year Nil).
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.
29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
A summary of the Group's financial assets and liabilities by category are mentioned in the table below. The carrying amounts of the Group's financial assets and liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

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

Cash and cash
equivalents US$ Indian Rupee 906,914 18,530
-----------------
Total exposure 959,165 87,328
----------------------------------------------------- -------------- --------------
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.

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.
