COMBINED CHAIRMAN'S AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT 
2008 Review 
On the 5 May 2009, the Company was able to announce the completion of the 
interpretation and analysis of its geological and geophysical studies, soil gas 
geochemistry survey and seismic survey. The Company is pleased that the results 
of the data interpretation have confirmed the potential of certain areas within 
the Company's Gabino Mendoza and Boquerón blocks. The prospective unrisked 
aggregated hydrocarbon resource estimates for CDS' prospects include 243 MMBO 
(millions of barrels of oil) and 161 BCF (billion cubic feet) of non-associated 
gas. The analysis has identified several drill prospects and the Group is 
currently in discussions with potential partners to fund the next stage of its 
exploration programme. 
As announced in the interim statement, the physical exploration programme was 
completed in September 2008. The soil geochemistry survey was analyzed by 
Houston-based Exploration Technologies, Inc. The seismic data was processed by 
two Houston-based oil and gas service companies, Tricon Geophysics, Inc. and 
Texseis Inc. and interpretation was then undertaken by the Company's in-house 
geosciences team in Houston. 
In the Gabino Mendoza block, the moderate level of positive soil geochemistry 
anomalies indicates the presence of a mixed oil and gas source. The Gabino 
Mendoza prospect consists of an unconventional gas resource which extends over 
an area of a few hundred square kilometres, having a sedimentary column in 
excess of 1,200 metres, which would result in prospective resources on an 
un-risked basis of 140 BCF. 
In the Boquerón block where three prospects have been identified - Picuiba Nose, 
East Emilia and Emilia - the Carboniferous target sands were deposited in the 
same proximal deep submarine fan facies as the giant San Alberto/San Antonio 
Field and others in southern Bolivia. 
From the soil geochemistry survey, it appears that the Picuiba Nose prospect has 
good hydrocarbon source potential from a mixed oil and gas source. The Picuiba 
Nose prospect is a 1,100 hectare structural dome located on the crest of a 
northwest-plunging anticlinal nose. The prospect's prospective resources have an 
un-risked estimated ultimate recovery ("EUR") of 175 MMBO. 
The Emilia East prospect features a low-relief structure, with top-seals in the 
Cretaceous and the Permian above the Carboniferous. This prospect has un-risked 
prospective resources of 21 BCF non-associated gas and 38 MMBO, derived from 
volumetric EUR calculations from prospect maps. 
In the Emilia prospect, the Carboniferous target sands were deposited in a 
submarine fan. The targets are the same age and facies as the 22 TCF (trillion 
cubic feet) San Alberto Gas Field in Bolivia. This prospect has un-risked 
prospective resources of 30 MMBO, based on volumetric EUR calculations from 
prospect maps. 
We believe that the comprehensive programme, implemented by the Group for an 
amount of more than USD30 million, has resulted in a total potential of finding 
up to 250 MMBOE (millions of barrels of oil equivalent). It represents a strong 
encouragement to persevere in our exploration efforts and work towards the start 
of a drilling programme on the Boqueron block. 
During 2008, the Company had been pleased to welcome Petro Saudi Ltd. Inc. 
("Petro Saudi") as a significant shareholder. However, the discontinuation of 
the relationship with PetroSaudi in February 2009 means that the Company no 
longer has immediate access to the funding of its further expansion. Discussions 
with prospective new strategic shareholders are taking place with a view to 
covering the cost of the next stage of the exploration programme. 
Going concern 
The Group, like many junior exploration companies, has had to adapt to very 
difficult economic and financial conditions. 
The Group's working capital has been utilised in the last year such that the 
Group currently does not have sufficient funds to finance the continuation of 
planned work programmes on its exploration assets. These are estimated to cost 
up to $18 million over the next year. The Group's ability to continue as a going 
concern is dependent upon new funding being negotiated and the postponement of 
the minimum commitments stipulated in the terms of the exploration licences 
until such a time that new funding is available. 
These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast 
significant doubt over the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. 
At this time, the Group has received a significant level of interest from 
prospective investors with a view to covering the cost of the next stage of the 
exploration programme and whilst no funding arrangements have yet been formally 
agreed, the Directors are confident that further funds will be arranged in the 
near future. The Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC, which is 
also responsible for energy and mining) of Paraguay has orally agreed for the 
minimum commitments stipulated by the licences to be postponed for a minimum of 
six months, allowing the Company time to source further financing. Written 
confirmation of this postponement and the specific conditions attached to it has 
been requested, but has not yet been received. 
Given the nature of the Group's operations, it is capable of winding down to 
allow just a relatively low residual level of overheads to be incurred (for 
example the Directors have agreed to the deferment of their remuneration). This 
flexibility allows it to remain a going concern until such a time when market 
conditions had improved. 
Additionally, as announced, in April 2009 the Company agreed with certain loan 
providers and suppliers of services, to convert amounts due to them as of 31 
March 2009 ($3,116,000) into new ordinary shares, thus alleviating a significant 
amount of financial pressure. 
Taking into account the above, and after making suitable enquiries the Directors 
have formed a judgment, at the time of approving the financial statements, that 
there is a reasonable expectation that the Group has, or will have, adequate 
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For 
this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the 
financial statements.

 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 
 
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION 
 
 
The financial information set out in this announcement does not constitute the 
Company's statutory accounts for the years ended 31 December 2008 or 2007 and 
has been extracted from the audited financial statements which will be available 
on the Company's website (www.cdsogg.com) shortly. The statutory accounts for 
the year ended 31 December 2008 are being finalised on the basis of the 
financial information presented by the Directors in this preliminary 
announcement. 
 
 
2. LOSS PER ORDINARY SHARE 
 
 
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to ordinary 
shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding 
during the year. 
 
 
In order to calculate diluted loss per share, the weighted average number of 
ordinary shares in issue would be adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive 
potential ordinary shares according to IAS 33. In 2008 and 2007 the Group made a 
loss after taxation and the effect of the potential ordinary shares is 
anti-dilutive and therefore the diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss 
per share.
