Indus Gas Limited and its subsidiaries
("Indus" or the "Company")
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial
Statements for the six month period ended 30 September 2020
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 2020.
Consolidated reported adjusted revenues, operating profit and
profit before tax for the interim period ending 30 September 2020
were US$ 23.21m (US$ 27.69 interim 2019), US$ 21.17m (US$ 26.30m
interim 2019) and US$ 20.92m (US$ 26.11m interim 2019)
respectively. The Company continues to make provision for a
notional deferred tax liability of US$ 1.48m (US$ 1.68m interim
2019), in accordance with IFRS requirements.
The Company continues to realize US$5 per mmbtu in respect of
its existing gas sales contract with GAIL
As reported in our full year results 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. The transportation tariff proposed in
the first bidding round was very high and the Board is confident
that there is an opportunity to materially lower the transportation
tariff in the next bidding round. Discussions with the relevant
parties are on-going and achieving a successful outcome remains a
key strategic priority for Indus. This will enable natural gas from
RJ-ON/6 block to be delivered to customers through the National
Grid at a fair transportation tariff thereby maximizing value for
shareholders.
Commenting, Peter Cockburn, Chairman of Indus, said:
The health and safety of our employees and all the workers
on-site at the RJ-ON/6 Block remains the Company's top priority.
While the pandemic has presented unprecedented operational
challenge,s the Company remains focused on executing our strategy
to maximize value for all of our stakeholders. The Indian
government's commitment to increase the share of gas in the energy
mix from the current 6.3% to 15% by 2030 will be backed by major
infrastructure investment to develop the gas pipeline network and
connectivity to the national grid throughout the country. The
Company remains very well positioned to play its part in this
transition to an economy powered by a growing proportion of gas. In
addition to the environmental benefits, domestic gas suppliers
provide highly competitive pricing while contributing to the
country's future energy security.

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. 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
field (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 2020 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 2020.
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 2020.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial
statements are for the six months ended 30 September 2020 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 2020 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:

Further, the SSF and SSG field has 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, I services 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.
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 2020.
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.
6. INTANGIBLE ASSETS: EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

(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

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 2020.
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 Group has opted to claim the
expenditure in the first year of commercial production. As the
Group has commenced commercial production for SGL field 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.
1 5 . BASIS OF GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTION
As at 30 September 2020, the Group had current liabilities
amounting to US$ 43,503,197 majorities of which is towards current
portion of borrowings from banks and related parties. As at 30
September 2020, the amounts due for repayment (including interest
payable) within the next 12 months for long term borrowings are US$
34,682,010 which the Group expects to meet from its internal
generation of cash from operations.
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
