Chairman's and Chief Executive's Review 
 
 
For the six month period to 30 June 2009 the Company made an operating loss of 
US$0.5 million (2008: loss of US$1.3 million) which was in line with the Board's 
expectations. Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2009 were US$82,000. 
 
 
In 2009 the Company entered into a transitional period characterised by the 
severance of the relationship with PetroSaudi and by a work programme coming to 
its final stage of data interpretation. 
 
 
As announced in February 2009, the former majority shareholders decided to step 
in by taking over the position of PetroSaudi as shareholder and as lender, 
subsequently converting the $2,250,000 of loans plus accrued interest into 
ordinary shares. In addition, in April 2009, two suppliers of services to the 
Group, Famay Enterprises Corp. ("Famay") and Harmattan FZE ("Harmattan") agreed 
to convert amounts due to them by the Group by subscribing for new ordinary 
shares. The loss of Petro Saudi as a major shareholder in the Company has 
resulted in a reduced access to funding for further expansion. Consequently, the 
management of the Company proceeded to undertake a reorganisation which 
coincided with the end of its work programme of data interpretation. Following 
the announcement made in May 2009 indicating encouraging potential on the two 
permits of Gabino Mendoza and Boqueron, the Company approached the Ministry of 
Public Works and Communication ("MOPC") which is also responsible for energy and 
mining, and succeeded in obtaining an extension of one year of its drilling 
commitments and an approval of its new drilling programme until the fourth 
quarter 2010, both of them granted in July and August 2009. 
 
 
Furthermore the mutual understanding between the MOPC and the Company led into 
an increased cooperation in order to promote the Gas option favoured by the 
Paraguayan government in the context of its new Energy policy. The aim of this 
policy is to coordinate the utilisation of natural gas on a regional basis 
covering Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay, in the middle of which the CDS 
concessions are situated. Such a development has resulted in the revitalisation 
of the organisation called Urupabol and is expected to trigger major 
infrastructure investments in the Chaco region. 
 
 
The ability of the Company to adjust to this changing situation coupled with the 
continuous financial support of its shareholders is encouraging for management 
in its search for prospective new shareholders. The new attraction of South 
America stimulated by the recent offshore discoveries on both sides of the South 
Atlantic and the position of Paraguay at the junction of the already producing 
basins of Bolivia and Argentina make it a valid area for exploration. The 
Company's management is seeking to capitalise on this renewed interest in the 
region and is currently conducting active negotiations with the view of 
concluding either a farm-in transaction or a partnership. 
  Financing 
 
 
As announced on 2 April 2009, in addition to the conversion of loans and accrued 
interest into new ordinary shares, the Company's Principal Shareholders (being 
Feltown Assets Inc., Werton Finance S.A. and Red Law Corporation Services Inc.) 
agreed to continue to support the financial needs of the Group as it sought 
partners to assist with the funding of the Group's exploration activities.  Over 
the last few months Feltown Assets Inc. ("Feltown") has paid some of the Group's 
expenses and a loan has accrued which at 30 June 2009 totalled approximately 
$578,000.  Since 30 June 2009 Feltown has continued to meet the immediate 
financial needs of the Group.  As a consequence the size of loan provided by 
Feltown has increased to approximately $902,000. Feltown currently holds 
43,435,509 ordinary shares representing approximately 35.2 per cent of the 
Company's ordinary shares and therefore Feltown is considered to be a related 
party pursuant to Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies.  The terms of the loan 
have been agreed between the Board and Feltown. Pending the outcome of current 
discussions with parties interested in the Company's projects, the loan is 
considered to be short term however the Board understands that Feltown has no 
intention of requiring immediate repayment, Interest accrues on the loan at 4% 
per annum. The Directors, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, 
Hanson Westhouse Limited, consider that the terms of the loan are fair and 
reasonable insofar as the shareholders are concerned. 
 
 
The Directors of the Company have not drawn their remuneration nor had their 
expenses reimbursed for the last 12 months. 
 
 
Capital expenditure of US$524,000 incurred during the six months ended 30 June 
2009 has been financed by the unsecured shareholder loans referred to above, as 
have subsequent expenditures.

NOTES to the INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 
 
1. The Group 
 
 
The Group is principally involved in the exploration for oil and gas. 
 
 
The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in England 
and Wales. The Company has its registered office in London and has oil & gas 
interests in Paraguay through its Paraguayan subsidiary, CDS Energy SA. 
 
 
The Company has its listing on the Alternative Investment Market ("AIM") of the 
London Stock Exchange. 
 
 
2. Basis of preparation 
 
 
These condensed interim financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries 
("the Group") for the six months ended 30 June 2009 (the period) have been 
prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRSs). The same accounting policies, presentation and 
methods of computation are followed in the condensed set of financial statements 
as applied in the Group's latest audited financial statements for the year ended 
31 December 2008 with the exception of the adoption of IAS 1 Presentation of 
financial statements (revised 2008). 
? International Accounting Standard 1: Presentation of financial statements (IAS 
1) (revised 2008) replaces IAS 1 (revised 2005) and is effective for financial 
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. This standard requires the Group 
to introduce the concept of 'total comprehensive income', which represents the 
change in equity during a period, other than changes resulting from transactions 
with owners in their capacity as owners. In applying this revision to IAS 1, a 
'consolidated statement of comprehensive income' has been introduced which 
replaces the 'consolidated income statement'. 
 
 
These condensed interim financial statements have not been audited, do not 
include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, 
and should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated annual financial 
statements for the year ended 31 December 2008. The 2008 annual report and 
accounts, which received an unqualified opinion with an emphasis of matter in 
respect of going concern from the auditors and did not contain a statement under 
section 237 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985, have been filed with the 
Registrar of Companies. While the financial figures included within this 
half-yearly report have been computed in accordance with IFRSs applicable to 
interim periods, this half-yearly report does not contain sufficient information 
to constitute an interim financial report as set out in IAS 34. 
 
 
The preparation of the condensed consolidated half year financial statements 
requires the use of certain accounting estimates and judgments that affect the 
application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and 
liabilities, income and expense. The significant judgments made by management in 
applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation 
uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the financial statements for 
the year ended 31 December 2008.
