been agreed to be as per the domestic gas price on Gross Calorific
Value (GCV) basis as notified by petroleum planning and analysis
cell of the Government of India. The floor price will continue to
US$ 4.5146 per MMBTU on GCV being the existing price of US$ 5 per
MMBTU on Net Calorific Value (NCV) basis. The gas price revision
has resulted in the gas price being revised to US$ 6.1 per MMBTU on
GCV basis from 1 April 2022 to 30 September 2022.
Jonathan Keeling, Chairman of Indus Gas, commented:
"The Company welcomed the Gas Price revision, which was
effective from April 2022. The production from the block resulted

year . Post period end, the Company was pleased to achieve a
partial refinancing of its medium term notes. "

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 AIM of the London Stock Exchange on 6 June 2008.
Indus Gas, through its wholly owned subsidiaries iServices and
Newbury (together 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 to acquire 30 per cent Participating Interest
exercised by ONGC in respect of discoveries. ONGC has already
exercised 30 per cent PI option 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 2022 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 2022.
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 2022.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial
statements are for the six months ended 30 September 2022 and have
been approved for issue by the Board of Directors.-
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, SSG and SSF.
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 in order to be
entitled to their 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 period ended
30(th) September 2022 continues to be 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, 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.
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 2022.
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.

relation to property, plant & equipment - development/producing
assets, in the Block. The Group has no contingencies as at 30
September 2022(30 September 2021: Nil;31 March 2022: Nil).
12. 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 2022.
13. 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.
14 . BASIS OF GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTION
As at 30 September 2022, the Group had current liabilities
amounting to US$ 183,606,263, the majority of which is towards
current portion of borrowings from banks and bonds. As at 30
September 2022, the amounts due for repayment (including interest
payable) within the next 12 months for long term borrowings were
US$ 176,433,130 .
Out of US$176.43 million an amount of US$ 150 million Senior
Unsecured Notes due in December 2022 have since been exchanged with
New Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2027. Thus the current portion of
long-term debt has been reduced by US$ 150 million and Long term
debt excluding current portion has been increased by US$ 150million
as of 1(st) December 2022 as a result of this exchange. The Group
expects to meet the balance amount from its internal generation of
cash from operations.
Post period end, the Group has raised New Senior Unsecured Notes
of US$ 10 million (Aggregate New Senior Unsecured Notes being US$
160 million) due in 2027. Additional funds may be raised, if
required, which will be used for planned capital expenditures
(including the 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
