Great Eastern Energy Corp Ltd06 June 2007 Press Release 6 June 2007 Great Eastern Energy Corporation Ltd Preliminary Results for the year ended 31st March 2007 Great Eastern Energy Corporation Ltd. (Great Eastern), a Company involved in theexploration, development and production of coal bed methane (CBM) in India, ispleased to announce its results for the year ended 31st March 2007. Great Eastern is pleased to report that during the period significant progresshas been made towards reaching saleable gas production. Highlights • Reserves: - Gas in Place as per the Netherland, Sewell and Associates, Inc. reportof June 1, 2007 is 1.92 TCF which is an increase of 38.5%. • Drilling / Production / Sales: - Field development plan approved - a precedent in India - Completion of 23 wells - including perforation, fracturing and pumpinstallation - Currently producing from 9 wells at a rate of 513 mcfd - On target to produce 1.5mmcfd by end of July - MOU signed with Indian Oil Corporation & CNG Station established • Infrastructure: - Drilling Rig secured and shipped with anticipated arrival at the endof June - Gas Gathering Station in construction with phased commissioning fromAugust - December 2007 • Financials: - Debt facility progress on track - Strong balance sheet with cash of $11 m (31 March 2007) • Gas price: - The price of gas in India has increased from US$ 4.75/mmbtu to US$ 7.5- US$8.5 US$ /mmbtu Commenting, YK Modi, Chairman and CEO of Great Eastern, said: "We have made considerable progress in the last twelve months. The first 20wells of our phased development programme are nearly complete and we have put inplace the necessary infrastructure to distribute the gas produced. We anticipatesaleable production shortly. The second phase of the development plan isunderway and we are encouraged by both the increase in our reserves estimate andcontinuing rise of the gas market in India." -ENDS- For further information: Great Eastern EnergyYK Modi Chairman & CEO + 44 (0) 20 7743 6663 Pelham Public RelationsPhilip Dennis +44 (0)20 7743 6663Hugh Barker +44 (0)20 3008 5009 Arden PartnersRichard Day +44 (0)20 7398 1632Steve Pearce Chairman's statement I am please to report that Great Eastern has made solid progress in the twelvemonths to 31st March, 2007. Our objective is to drill 100 wells over a four year period, the purpose of ourplacing was to fund phase one of the project development plan, which involvedcommitment to the drilling of the first 20 production wells. I am thereforepleased to report that this has now been achieved. This is in addition to the 3pilot production wells drilled earlier. We completed the drilling, fracturing and perforation of twenty wells at the endof 2006 and completed installing pumps on all of these by the end of January2007. In March we received approval from the Directorate of Hydrocarbons inIndia for the field development plan relating to the license area in theRaniganj Coalfields, West Bengal. The approval provides independentcertification for the entirety of the existing project and also overcomesregulatory requirements for further development. This is the first time alicense of this kind has been granted in India. These 23 wells have tested at combined production rates of 991mcfd. Dewateringof the seams is still underway and we expect to achieve saleable production of1.5mmcfd by end July 2007. Unfortunately, the dewatering process has beenmarginally delayed due to sand problems blocking the dewatering pumps. This,however, is a common problem across the CBM industry and we have madesignificant progress in rectifying this issue through the employment of a numberof proven remedies. Dewatering has partially recommenced and we remain confidentthat we will achieve initial production broadly in line with our originaltimeframe. In addition to the above we have drilled an additional 8 core wells in order toacquire data for reservoir modelling and to establish the reservoir boundary forfurther drilling and completions. Preparation for the next phase of the drillingprogramme is underway and we have procured 23 sites for development and havefinalised a contract for cementing and fracturing with Schlumberger. We arecurrently in discussions with suppliers to provide pumps for dewatering and areinvestigating the use of electrical submersible pumps alongside progressivecavity pumps to increase efficiency. We expect to see significant improvementsin the efficiency of the speed of fracturing and dewatering throughout thecourse of Phase 2 as a result of lessons learnt from Phase 1. We are pleased to announce that in a report dated June 1, 2007, Netherland,Sewell and Associates, Inc. (NSAI) have put the Original Gas-in-Place (OGIP) at1.92 TCF, which is an increase of 38.5% from the previous report used at thetime of the floatation of the Company in December 2005. The NSAI report hasbeen prepared in accordance with 2000 petroleum resources definitions approvedby the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), World Petroleum Council (WPC), andAmerican Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG). In accordance with thestandards, the OGIP will move into reserves after entering into commercialoff-take contracts and providing established production profiles. The drilling rig we procured in April 2006 was shipped from Houston on 11 May,2007 and we expect to take delivery by the end of June. This will both improveflexibility and significantly reduce costs. As previously stated, in order to provide the necessary infrastructure forcollecting and distributing the gas we have undertaken the construction of aGroup Gathering Station and pipeline network. This will be operational in phasesfrom August - December 2007. In the interim period we have established acompressor for the CNG station at Well No 10 and will be commencing sales fromthe CNG dispenser and cascades in the near future. We have also acquired twomore compressors which will be commissioned in August and November 2007. Thesecompressors are movable and will facilitate the sale of gas as the fielddevelops. The Group Gathering Station will have a flow capacity of 11.5mmscfd and willhave a two-level gas compression system. It will also provide a gas dehydrationsystem for the removal of moisture from gas. We also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) earlier this year with IndianOil Corporation Ltd (IOCL), a Fortune 500 company and India's largest downstreamoperator, for the marketing and distribution of CNG in Asansol and other nearbycities. As part of the MOU we have undertaken to put in place the necessaryinfrastructure to supply one City Gas station. A 12 inch pipeline system is tobe laid from the Group Gathering Station to terminate at the City Gas Station. The Gas market in India has strengthened further in the last six months andconsiderably in the last year. The pool price of gas in India has increased fromUS$ 4.75/mmbtu to US$ 7.5 - US$8.5 US$/mmbtu, partly as a result of the high LNGimport price. The CBM industry in India has seen strong support from the IndianGovernment who are keen to maximize the use of internal resources of natural gasfor not only industrial & CNG, use but also in consumer use, to help meet thecountries increasing energy demands. The Company has spent Rs. 842 million (approx. $20.5 million) in the currentfinancial year on drilling and completing the wells. The expenditure has beenwithin the budget. The cash balance as of March 31, 2007 was Rs. 478.55 million(approx. $11.5 million). We are currently in discussions with a number of financial institutionsregarding the provision of a debt facility to finance the next phase of thedevelopment plan, as indicated at the time of listing. We have received apositive response and are confident that this facility will be finalized thissummer. Outlook We expect to achieve production of 1.5mmcfd by end July 2007. The arrival of thedrilling rig coupled with the Group Gathering Station will increase theefficiency of the second phase of drilling and will provide the necessaryinfrastructure to achievable saleable production going forward. Demand for gas in India has strengthened in line with the country's continuedeconomic growth and domestic gas production has the support of the Government.The price of gas has also risen. The Board is confident that given the strong fundamentals in place, theCompany's prospects look positive for the coming year.

CORPORATE INFORMATION Great Eastern Energy Corporation Limited ('GEECL' or 'the Company') is a publiclimited company incorporated in India with its registered office at 1D, 'BallyHigh', 1 Ballygunge Park Road, Kolkata, India. The financial statements of theCompany for the year ended 31st March, 2007 were authorised for issue inaccordance with a resolution of the directors on 2nd June, 2007. GEECL is apublic limited company incorporated in India, with shares listed as GlobalDepository Receipts in the Alternate Investment Market, London. The Company was incorporated in 1992 to explore, develop, distribute and marketCoal Bed Methane or CBM in India. GEECL originally entered into a licenseagreement in December 1993 with Coal India Limited (CIL) for exploration anddevelopment of CBM over an area of approximately 210 Sq. km (approximately52,000 acres) in the Raniganj coalfields of West Bengal (the Block). Followingthe transfer of CBM administration in India from the Ministry of Coal to theMinistry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG), the Company entered into theexisting CBM production sharing contract (PSC) on 31 May, 2001 for the Block. The PSC is effective from 9th November, 2001 as a result of the granting byGovernment of West Bengal of the Petroleum Exploration License on the same dateand provides for a five year initial assessment and market development phase,followed by a five year development phase and then a twenty-five year productionphase, extendable with the approval of the Government of India (GOI). The PSCalso provides that the Company can produce gas during any phase with the priorapproval of the GOI. GEECL is currently still in the exploratory and marketdevelopment phase, with dewatering and production testing underway. To date, 3Pilot wells, 20 production wells and 8 core holes have been drilled. 2. i) Basis of Preparation The financial statements of the Company have been prepared inaccordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). Thefinancial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. Thefinancial statements are presented in $ and all values are rounded to thenearest US dollar except when otherwise indicated. ii) Statement of Compliance The financial statements of Great Eastern Energy Corporation Ltd. havebeen prepared on the basis of all the IFRSs effective for the company'sreporting for the year ended 31st March, 2007. iii) Changes in Accounting Polices The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of theprevious financial year except as follows: The Company has adopted the following new and amended IFRS and IFRICinterpretations during the year. Adoption of these revised standards andinterpretations (wherever applicable) did not have any effect on the financialposition of the company. They did however give rise to additional disclosures. • IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources • IAS 19 Amendment-Employee Benefits • IFRIC 4 Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease • IAS 21 Amendment-The Effects of Changes in Foreign ExchangeRates. The amendment is not relevant to the Company's operations. • IAS 39 Amendments-Financial Instruments: Recognition andMeasurement. The amendment is not relevant to the Company's operations. • IFRIC 5 Rights to Interests Arising from Decommissioning,Restoration and Environmental Rehabilitation Funds (effective from 1st January,2006). IFRIC 5 is not relevant to the Company's operations. • IFRIC 6 Liabilities arising from Participating in a SpecificMarket-Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (effective from 1st December,2005). IFRIC 6 is not relevant to the Company's operations. The principal effects of these changes are as follows: • IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources IFRS 6 ("Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources") is applicable tothe company with effect from 1st January, 2006. However, since the technicalfeasibility and commercial viability of extracting CBM (the mineral resource)have been demonstrated before the application of IFRS-6, the provisions of thestandard are not applicable to the company. • IAS 19 Employee Benefits As of 1st April, 2006, the Company adopted the amendments to IAS 19. As aresult, additional disclosures are made providing information about trends inthe assets and liabilities in the defined benefit plans and the assumptionsunderlying the components of the defined benefit cost. This change has resultedin additional disclosures being included for the years ending 31st March, 2007and 31st March, 2006 but has not had a recognition or measurement impact, as theCompany chose not to apply the new option offered to recognize actuarial gainsand losses outside of the income statement. • IFRIC 4 Determining Whether an Arrangement contains a Lease IFRIC 4 requires determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a leaseto be based on the substance of the arrangement. It requires an assessment ofwhether: (a) fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of aspecific asset or assets (the asset); and (b) the arrangement conveys a right touse the asset. The leasing arrangements have been assessed with respect to thisamendment and necessary disclosures have been made. (Please refer Note 21below).The adoption of above did not affect the Company's results of operationsor financial position. iv) Significant accounting judgments and estimates Critical judgments in applying the entity's accounting policies The Company invests in the development and production of coal based methane gas.The assessment as to whether this expenditure will achieve a complete productfor which the technical feasibility is assured is a matter of judgment, as isthe forecasting of how the product will generate future economic benefit.Finally, the period of time over which the economic benefit associated with theexpenditure occurred will arise is also a matter of judgment. Estimates and Assumptions The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimationuncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing amaterial adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within thenext financial year are discussed below: • Pension and Other Post Employment Benefits The cost of defined benefit pension plans and other post employment medicalbenefits is determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuationinvolves making assumptions about discount rates, expected rates of return onassets, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases.Due to the long term nature of these plans, such estimates are subject tosignificant uncertainty. The net employee liability at 31st March, 2007 is $33,008 (2006: $ 73,496). Further details are given in Note 12. • Income Taxes The Company is subject to the provisions of income taxes. Significant judgmentis required in determining provision for income taxes. There are manytransactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination isuncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company recognizesliabilities for experience based adjustment on taxation issue which are open atthe year end. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from theamounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the incometax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination ismade. • Deferred Tax Assets Deferred tax assets have not been recognised for all unused tax losses as it isnot probable that taxable profit will be available against which such losseswill be utilised. The carrying value of recognised tax losses and furtherdetails are contained in Note 13. v) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies a) Foreign currency translation Functional and presentation Currency-The financial statements are presented in$, which is the Company's presentation currency. The functional currency of theCompany is INR. The Company converts INR balances to $ equivalent balances.Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using thecurrency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('thefunctional currency'). The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee(INR). The financial statements are presented in United States dollars, which isthe presentation currency. For the purpose of conversion from the functionalcurrency to the presentation currency, the assets and liabilities, except forequity, for each balance sheet presented is translated at the closing rate atthe date of that balance sheet. Income and expense for each income statementpresented are converted using a periodic weighted average rate. All resultingexchange difference is recognized as a separate component of equity. (Refer NoteNo. 27) Transactions and Balances- Foreign currency transactions are translated into thefunctional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of thetransactions. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into functionalcurrency at the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchangedifferences arising on the settlement of monetary items or translation at ratesthat are different from those at which they were initially recorded, arerecognized as income or expense in the period in which they arise. Non monetaryitems are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency and aretranslated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. b) Property, Plant and Equipment Plant, equipment and buildings are stated at historical cost including initialestimate of dismantling and site restoration cost, less accumulated depreciationand any impairment in value. Land is measured at cost. Historical cost includesexpenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as aseparate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economicbenefits associated with them will flow to the Company and the cost of the itemcan be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance expenditures arecharged to the income statement during the financial period in which they areincurred. When each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in thecarrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognitioncriteria are satisfied. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis overthe estimated useful life of the assets. The asset's residual values, usefullives and methods of depreciation are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, ateach financial year. • Capital Work in progress Expenses incurred for developing and constructing wells are capitalized andincluded under the head Capital Work-in-progress as Well Development Costs untilthe wells are ready for their intended use. The cost of drilling, wire linelogging and perforation services, cementing and fracturing services, which havebeen outsourced, has been taken to Well Development Costs. Besides, all otherexpenses incurred with respect to developing and constructing wells arecapitalized and included under Capital Work-in-progress. Once the wells areready for their intended use depreciation is charged on the Unit of Productionmethod. Inventories consumed and lying in stock for the purpose of Well Development aregrouped as part of Capital Work-in-progress .These items are not meant for salein the ordinary course of business or for use as supplies in the productionprocess of saleable Gas, but are to be used towards Well Development and hence,are treated as Capital Work-in-Progress. c) Impairment of non-financial assets The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication thatan asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annualimpairment testing for an asset is required, the makes an estimate of theasset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of anasset's or cash generating unit's fair value less costs to sell and its value inuse and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does notgenerate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets orgroups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverableamount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverableamount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows arediscounted to their present value using a pre tax discount rate that reflectscurrent market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific tothe asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriatevaluation model is used. d) Intangible Assets Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition atcost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost lessany accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be finite. Intangibleassets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life andassessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangibleasset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method foran intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at eachfinancial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected patternof consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accountedfor by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and treatedas changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangibleassets with finite lives is recognised in the income statement in the expensecategory consistent with the function of the intangible asset. A summary of the policies applied to the Company's intangible assets is asfollows: • Gas Exploration Rights is capitalized at historical costs. • Computer Software-Costs associated with identifiable and uniquesoftware products controlled by the Company having probable economic benefitsexceeding the costs beyond one year are recognized as intangible assets. Costsincurred during the development stage of computer software are shown asintangible assets under development and are not amortized till the software isready for its intended use. These costs are amortized using the straight linemethod over their useful lives not exceeding 5 years : Gas exploration rights Computer SoftwareUseful lives Finite FiniteAmortisation Method used Currently, since the asset is not Amortized on a straight line ready for its intended use, no basis over the period of 5 years amortization is being done.Internally generated or acquired Acquired AcquiredImpairment testing / recoverable Annually Where an indicator of impairmentamount testing existsUnamortized Period Twenty five years Four and half years e) Leasehold Land Lease hold land represents prepayment of lease rentals for land taken on lease.The same is recognised at cost. Prepaid lease rent is charged over the period oflease f) Financial assets Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as either financialassets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held tomaturity investments, and available for sale financial assets, as appropriate.When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value,plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss,directly attributable transaction costs. The Company considers whether acontract contains an embedded derivative when the entity first becomes a partyto it. The embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract which isnot measured at fair value through profit or loss when the analysis shows thatthe economic characteristics and risks of embedded derivatives are not closelyrelated to those of the host contract. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets after initialrecognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation ateach financial year end. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on thetrade date, which is the date that the Company commits to purchase the asset.Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets thatrequire delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulationor convention in the marketplace. (i) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed ordeterminable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initialmeasurement loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised costusing the effective interest method less any allowance for impairment. Amortisedcost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisitionand includes fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate andtransaction costs. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when theloans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through theamortisation process. g) Impairment of financial assets The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether a financial asset orgroup of financial assets is impaired. (ii) Assets carried at amortized cost If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivablescarried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measuredas the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value ofestimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not beenincurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate(ie the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carryingamount of the asset shall be reduced either directly or through use of anallowance account. The amount of the loss shall be recognised in profit or loss. The Company first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment existsindividually for financial assets that are individually significant, andindividually or collectively for financial assets that are not individuallysignificant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment existsfor an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, theasset is included in a Company of financial assets with similar credit riskcharacteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed forimpairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for whichan impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in acollective assessment of impairment. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and thedecrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairmentwas recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed. Anysubsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement,to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortizedcost at the reversal date. h) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and inhand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist ofcash and cash equivalents as defined above. i) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities Financial assets A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of agroup of similar financial assets) is derecognized where: • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; • the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from theasset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delayto a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; or • the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows fromthe asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewardsof the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all therisks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. Where the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an assetand has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewardsof the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised tothe extent of the Company continuing involvement in the asset. Continuinginvolvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset ismeasured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and themaximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay. Where continuing involvement takes the form of a written and/or purchased option(including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on the transferred asset,the extent of the Company continuing involvement is the amount of thetransferred asset that the Company may repurchase, except that in the case of awritten put option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on anasset measured at fair value, the extent of the Company continuing involvementis limited to the lower of the fair value of the transferred asset and theoption exercise price. (iii) Financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability isdischarged or cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the samelender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liabilityare substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as aderecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability,and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit orloss. j) Provisions General Provisions are recognized when the company has a present obligation (legal orconstructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow ofresources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligationand a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where thecompany expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example underan insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset butonly when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to anyprovision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement. If theeffect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined bydiscounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflectscurrent market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate,the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase inthe provision due to the passage of time is recognized as other finance expense. k) Employee costs, Pensions and other post-employment benefits Wages, salaries, bonuses, social security contributions, paid annual leave andsick leave are accrued in the year in which the associated services are renderedby employees of the company. The Company has three retirement benefit plans in operation Gratuity, StateAdministered Provident Fund and Superannuation. Superannuation and Gratuity areunfunded. The cost of providing benefits under superannuation and gratuity isdetermined separately for each plan using the projected unit credit actuarialvaluation method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised as income or expenseas and when they arise. The method of recognition of acturial gains /losses,when the net cumulative unrecognised actuarial gains and losses for eachindividual plan at the end of the previous reporting period exceeded 10% of thehigher of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets atthat date is not followed by the Company. The State Administered Provident Fund is a defined contribution scheme wherebythe company has to deposit a fixed amount to the fund every month. l) Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based onthe substance of the arrangement at inception date of whether the fulfilment ofthe arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or thearrangement conveys a right to use the asset. A reassessment is made afterinception of the lease only if one of the following applies: (i) There is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal orextension of the arrangement. (ii) A renewal option is exercised or extension granted, unless theterm of the renewal or extension was initially included in the lease term. (iii) There is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment isdependant on a specified asset. (iv) There is a substantial change to the asset. Where a reassessment is made, lease accounting shall commence or cease from thedate when the change in circumstances gave rise to the reassessment forscenarios (i), (iii), (iv) and at the date of renewal or extension period forscenario (ii). For arrangements entered into prior to 1st January, 2005, the date of inceptionis deemed to be 1st January, 2005 in accordance with the transitionalrequirements of IFRIC 4. • Company as a lessee Finance leases, which transfer to the Company substantially all the risks andbenefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at theinception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, atthe present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportionedbetween the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as toachieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.Finance charges are charged directly against income. Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimateduseful life of the asset and the lease term, if there is no reasonable certaintythat the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Lease where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits ofownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating leasepayments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-linebasis over the lease term. m) Interest income Income is recognised as interest accrues (using the effective interest methodthat is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts throughthe expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of thefinancial asset). n) Government grants Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that thegrant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. Whenthe grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over the periodnecessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it isintended to compensate. Government grants relating to the purchase of property,plant and equipment are adjusted against the carrying amount of the relatedasset. o) Taxes Current tax Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods aremeasured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxationauthorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are thosethat are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporarydifferences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets andliabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporarydifferences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to theextent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against whichthe deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused taxcredits and unused tax losses can be utilized:- • except where the deferred income tax asset relating to thedeductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an assetor liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at thetime of transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit orloss; and The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balancesheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable thatsufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferredincome tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets arereassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that ithas become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax assetto be recovered. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates thatare expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability issettled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted orsubstantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised inequity and not in the income statement. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legallyenforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current taxliabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and thesame taxation authority. p) Equity instruments Equity instruments, convertible into fixed number of equity shares at a fixedpredetermined price, and which are exercisable after a specific period, areaccounted for as and when such instruments are exercised. The transaction costspertaining to such instruments are adjusted against equity. q) Segment Reporting A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within aparticular economic environment that are subject to risks and return that aredifferent from those of components operating in other economic environments. ABusiness Segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providingproducts or services that are subject to risks and returns that are differentfrom those of other business segments. The Company considers that it operates ina single geography being India and in a single business segment being theproduction and sale of gas. r) Financial risk management The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; market risk(for example, currency risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. • Currency Risk The Company is exposed to currency risk on contracts relating to purchase ofservices for development of wells, which are denominated in $, whereas thefunctional currency of the Company is INR. The Company does not have a practiceof talking any cover against such exposures at present. The Company's exposureto commodity price risk is minimal at present as it is at a very preliminarystage of operations and activities. • Interest rate risk The Company has a practice of borrowing funds at fixed rates of interest, whichexposes it to interest rate risk. The Company does not enter into derivativefinancial instruments to hedge its exposure to such interest rate risk. • Liquidity risk Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and cashequivalents and maintaining adequate credit facilities. • Credit risk The Company has not yet commissioned the production facilities commercially. Long term arrangements with the customers are being deliberated on and theCompany intends to securitize transactions in a commercially viable manner tomitigate any possible credit risk. 3.

Standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards thatare not yet effective Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards havebeen published that are mandatory for the Company's accounting periods beginningafter 1st April, 2006 or later periods but which the Company has not earlyadopted, as follows: (i) IFRIC 8, Scope of IFRS 2 This IFRIC Interpretation 8, applicable for all accounting periods commencing onor after 1st May, 2006, requires IFRS 2 to be applied to any arrangements whereequity instruments are issued for consideration which appears to be less thanfair value. The Company will apply IFRIC 8 from annual periods beginning 1stJanuary, 2007. (ii) IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures and a complementaryamendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - Capital Disclosures(effective from 1st January, 2007) IFRS 7 introduces new disclosures to improve the information about financialinstruments. It requires the disclosure of qualitative and quantitativeinformation about exposure to risks arising from the financial statements,including specified minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity and marketrisk, including sensitivity analysis to market risk. It replaces IAS 30,Disclosures in the Financial Statements of Banks and Similar FinancialInstitutions, and disclosure requirements in IAS 32, Financial Instruments:Disclosure and Presentation. It is applicable to all entities that report underIFRS. The amendment to IAS 1 introduces disclosures about the level of anentity's capital and how it manages capital. The Company will apply IFRS 7 fromannual periods beginning 1st January, 2007. (iii) IFRS 8, Operating Segments IFRS 8 requires segment information to be disclosed based on the 'managementapproach' which means using the information reviewed by the key decision makersof an entity. The Companies would be required to identify operating segments onthe basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the entity's chiefoperating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment andassess its performance. The standard becomes effective from annual periodsbeginning 1st January, 2009. Since the Company operates in a single geographicaland business segment, management does not anticipate the application of thisstandard would have any impact on the financial statements. (iv) IFRIC 9, Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives IFRIC 9 was issued in March 2006, and becomes effective for financial yearsbeginning on or after 1st June, 2006. This interpretation establishes that thedate to assess the existence of an embedded derivative is the date an entityfirst becomes a party to the contract, with reassessment only if there is achange to the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows. The Companyis still evaluating the effect of this interpretation and expects that adoptionof this interpretation will have no impact on the Company's financial statementwhen implemented in 2007. (v) IFRIC Interpretation 10, Interim Financial Reporting andImpairment This Interpretation addresses whether the frequency of reporting should affectthe amount of any impairment charge recognised in an annual reporting periodrelating to goodwill, and some financial instruments. Since the company does notprepare or present interim financial statements, management does not expect anyimpact of this interpretation on the financial statements. (vi) IFRIC 11, IFRS 2 - Group and Treasury Share Transactions The scope of IFRS 2 is wide and encompasses transactions where an entity'sshareholders issue the entity's equity instruments as consideration for goods orservices it has received, or the equity instruments of any entity within a groupis issued as consideration. However, IFRS 2 itself contains no guidance about whether these transactions areaccounted for as equity-settled or cash-settled transactions. Similar questionshave arisen in cases where the entity uses treasury shares (acquired or held) tosettle its commitments under share based payment transactions. Thisinterpretation provides guidance in such situations becoming effective forannual periods beginning on or after 1st March, 2007. This interpretation willhave no impact on the Company's financial statement when implemented in 2007.
