Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Indus Gas Limited and its subsidiaries

Six months ended 30 September 2017

Indus Gas Limited (AIM:INDI.L), an oil & gas exploration and development company with assets in India, is pleased to report its interim results for the six month period ending 30 September 2017.

Consolidated reported adjusted revenues, operating profit and profit before tax for the interim period ending 30 September 2017 were US$ 29.39m (US$ 27.39 interim 2016),US$ 25.63m (US$ 22.33m interim 2016) and US$ 23.63m (US$ 22.61m interim 2016) respectively.

The Company has continued to make provision for a notional deferred tax liability of US$ 7.92m (US$ 9.94m interim 2016), in accordance with IFRS requirements.

The Integrated Field Development Plan for the SSG (Pariwar) & SSF (B&B) area of 2,000 km2 was approved by the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) and Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoP&NG). The revised Field Development Plan ('FDP') in respect of the SGL area for the enhancement of production to about 90mmscfd has been approved by the Management Committee having representative of MoP&NG, DGH & Contractors/Companies.

The Company continues to realise US$5 per mmBtu in respect of its existing gas sales contract. Discussions for the second contract with GAIL and RRVUNL for the additional gas supplies to the 160 MW turbine at Ramgarh are expected to be finalized in first quarter of 2018. The gas turbine has been procured by RRVUNL and the gas price needs to be mutually agreed. Discussions are also being held for finalising the gas pipeline to evacuate additional gas supply from the Non-SGL area of the block.

Commenting, Peter Cockburn, Chairman of Indus, said:

"The approval of integrated FDP for SSG and SSF and revised FDP of SGL is a major milestone achieved by the company in this period. The revenues are now expected to increase substantially once the additional gas supplies commence."

   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 4).

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are for the six months ended 30 September 2017 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 2017.

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 2017.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are for the six months ended 30 September 2017 and have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors.

   3. STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ISSUED BUT NOT EFFECTIVE AND YET TO BE      APPLIED BY THE GROUP 

Summarised in the paragraphs below are standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued prior to the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements and endorsed by EU and will be applicable for transactions in the Group but are not yet effective. These have not been adopted early by the Group and accordingly, have not been considered in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

Management anticipates that all of these pronouncements will be adopted by the Group in the first accounting period beginning after the effective date of each of the pronouncements. Information on the new standards, interpretations and amendments that are expected to be relevant to the Group's consolidated financial statements is provided below.

   -           IFRS 9 Financial Instruments Classification and Measurement 

In July 2014, the International Accounting Standards Board issued the final version of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments. The standard reduces the complexity of the current rules on financial instruments as mandated in IAS 39. IFRS 9 has fewer classification and measurement categories as compared to IAS 39 and has eliminated the categories of held to maturity, available for sale and loans and receivables. Further it eliminates the rule-based requirement of segregating embedded derivatives and tainting rules pertaining to held to maturity investments. For an investment in an equity instrument which is not held for trading, IFRS 9 permits an irrevocable election, on initial recognition, on an individual share-by-share basis, to present all fair value changes from the investment in other comprehensive income. No amount recognized in other comprehensive income would ever be reclassified to profit or loss. It requires the entity, which chooses to measure a liability at fair value, to present the portion of the fair value change attributable to the entity's own credit risk in other comprehensive income.

IFRS 9 replaces the 'incurred loss model' in IAS 39 with an 'expected credit loss' model. The measurement uses a dual measurement approach, under which the loss allowance is measured as either 12 month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit losses. The standard also introduces new presentation and disclosure requirements.

This standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 with early adoption permitted. The management is currently evaluating the impact that this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

   -           IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has published a new standard, IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with customers. This standard replaces IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers, and SIC-31 Revenue- Barter Transactions involving advertising services. It sets out the requirements for recognising revenue that apply to contracts with customers, except for those covered by standards on leases, insurance contracts and financial instruments. The new standard establishes a control-based revenue recognition model and provides additional guidance in many areas not covered in detail under existing IFRSs, including how to account for arrangements with multiple performance obligations, variable pricing, customer refund rights, supplier repurchase options, and other common complexities.

This standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 with early adoption permitted. It applies to new contracts created on or after the effective date and to the existing contracts that are not yet complete as of the effective date.

The management is currently evaluating the impact that this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

- IFRS 16 Leases

On 13 January 2016, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 16, Leases. IFRS 16 will replace the existing leases Standard, IAS 17 Leases, and related interpretations. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. The Standard also contains enhanced disclosure requirements for lessees. The effective date for adoption of IFRS 16 is annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 (but not yet endorsed in EU), though early adoption is permitted for companies applying IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Management is currently evaluating the impact that this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

4. JOINTLY CONTROLLED ASSETS

As explained above, the Group through its subsidiaries 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 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.

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 are 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 2017 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:

 
           Particular                        Period ended   Period ended       Year ended

          Current liabilities                  22,699,519        299,187        5,250,197 
          Expenses (net of finance

          Commitments                                   -              -                - 
-----------------------------------  --------------------  -------------  --------------- 
 
 

The GOI, through ONGC, has option to acquire similar participating interest in any such future successful discovery of oil or gas reserves in the Block that has been declared as commercially feasible to develop.

5. 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 2017.

6. 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 extraction and production of gas.

7. INTANGIBLE ASSETS: EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

At 30 September 2017, the Group had capital commitments of US$ Nil (30 September 2016: US$ Nil; 31 March 2017: US$ Nil) in relation to property, plant & equipment - development/producing assets, in the Block.

The Group has no contingencies as at 30 September 2017 (30 September 2016: Nil; 31 March 2017: Nil).

14. 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 2017.

15. 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 in the first year of commercial production. 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.
