Prashant Modi, President and COO of Great Eastern, commented:
"The focus over the last year has been to develop sales and distribution to end users. We have now successfully achieved both of these aims, with a significant uplift in the quantity of gas under sales agreements and the completion of the pipeline distribution network to the major industrial markets of Asansol, Kulti and Durgapur. The growth in sales agreements is reflected in the significant increase in revenue from gas sales and the Company moving into profit on an EBITDA basis for the first time in the current financial year. A further reflection of the growth in the business is the move post the year end to the main market of the London Stock Exchange. Looking ahead, we are in advanced discussions to put additional sales agreements in place, are well positioned to further increase production to meet contracted demand and, with the award of the Mannargudi Block, have a firm longer term growth opportunity in place."

Chairman's Statement
Financials
During the period, turnover increased 290% to Rs. 157.65 million. This substantial improvement in the financial performance of the business is due to gas sales during the period. For the year ended 31 March 2010, the Company produced 38,402 mcm of CBM, and sold 5,555 mcm of CBM.
At the year end, GEECL remained in a strong financial position with cash of US$22.01 million. In November last year, the Company successfully raised £28.8m through a placing and repaid debt to one of its lenders, saving US$1.7 million per annum in finance charges.
Post the year end, the Company successfully moved from the AIM market to the standard list of the London Stock Exchange. This move is a reflection of the size of the business and was based on the main market being the appropriate platform for the continued growth of the Company. A listing on the main market also affords the Company greater exposure to potential investors and enhances its profile.
Sales, Marketing & Distribution
As highlighted in previous announcement, the focus for GEECL over the last twelve months has been to grow sales by increasing the amount of gas under sales agreement and by putting in place the distribution infrastructure needed to service that demand. Both of these aims have been achieved, with the very significant increase in the amount of gas under agreement and notwithstanding there has been approximately a nine month delay in the completion of the distribution pipeline network.
The total quantity of gas currently under agreement is 24.62 MMscfd, which represents a 330% increase over the quantity under agreement at this time last year. We have secured a number of large and medium size customers, including SAIL ISP, which is part of the Steel Authority of India Limited.
A number of customers are now ready to take gas after completing internal piping connections and converting furnace equipment to burn gas.
We are also at an advanced stage of discussions with a number of other companies involved in steel related industries and, as such, hope to be able to secure additional sales agreements in the relatively near future.
The external distribution pipeline network covers a total of 77.62km and provides access to the major industrial markets of Asansol, Kulti and Durgapur. The major portion of the pipeline runs along the Asansol to Durgapur highway, which enhances GEECL's marketing efforts. With the main distribution network complete, the Company's current focus remains on installing spur-lines to key customers. The delay in completing the distribution pipeline has in turn led to a delay in our production programme, although this is now proceeding satisfactorily.
Demand for the Company's gas in its regional target market remains strong and gas prices being realised under commercial arrangements continue to be in line with previous expectations.
Infrastructure:
In addition to the external pipeline network, GEECL has successfully laid 60.10km of the MDPE pipeline on the Raniganj license area, connecting 42 of the wells drilled to the gas gathering station on that site. The gas gathering station is the central point for the collection of gas from the wells.
Drilling, Production & Reserves:
Between June 2009 and June 2010, GEECL successfully drilled an additional 25 wells bring the total number of wells drilled to 73. Of the wells drilled, 42 have been completed and a further 31 are at various stages of completion. Drilling and completion efficiency has successfully increased in the last twelve months. This has been made possible through operating GEECL's own drilling rig and two workover rigs. An additional workover rig was commissioned in June 2010 and a further drilling rig has been placed on order.
Drilling operations continue with the focus switching increasingly to the south of the block to access production from this zone. Wells from this area will be connected to the existing gas gathering station, which will help drive the conversion of gas resources into reserves.
During the year the Company contracted Halliburton to undertake an extensive fracturing programme. The programme started in November last year and is successfully underway.
The Company commissioned Netherland, Sewell & Associates to provide an updated competent persons report, which was published in March. The report reaffirmed the gas in place and prospective resource, with an increase in the original gas in place number to 2 Tcf.
New Acreage
On 24 June 2010, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas announced the award of one CBM Block, Mannargudi Block, to the Company. The Block is located in the state of Tamil Nadu and spreads over an area of 691sq km. The CBM resource of the Block is estimated at 0.98 Tcf as per DGH.
Outlook
We have made solid progress in the last year; achieving key goals in sales and distribution. Now that the distribution pipeline has been completed, we will continue to focus on increasing production and on securing additional sales agreements as well as developing sales of CBM gas. With the current fracturing and drilling programme in place we can now look forward to growing sales revenue through increased production levels in the year ahead. I would like to thank our management team and all personnel for their devoted contribution to our overall success.
Readers should be aware that the following accounts are audited under Indian GAAP and will differ from the IFRS audited accounts due to be released by the Company on 19 July 2010.

4. Fixed Assets
i) Tangible Assets

ii) Intangible Assets
Intangible Assets at cost less accumulated benefits are recognised only when future economic benefits attributable to the assets will flow to the enterprise and their cost can be measured reliably.
iii) Capital Inventory
Capital Inventory represents primarily items of capital nature lying in the stores valued on a weighted average cost method after providing for cost of obsolescence. Items of capital inventory used for wells under construction are transferred to Capital work in progress and capitalized as part of Producing Properties on commissioning of the wells.

Schedule 17
Significant Accounting Policies (Contd.)
5. Exploratory Wells in Progress and Producing Properties
Expenses incurred for developing and constructing wells have been capitalised and included under the head Capital Work in Progress in line with the suggested treatment prescribed by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India in the 'Guidance Note on Accounting for Oil and Gas Producing Activities' under the 'Full Cost' method.
Producing Properties are created and included under the head fixed assets in respect of a well having developed reserves when the well is ready to commence commercial production.
6. Depreciation/ Amortisation/ Depletion

Building constructed on land not owned by the Company is being depreciated over a period of five years.
Depreciation on assets utilized for the Project has been capitalised under the head Capital Work in Progress.
Assets costing less than Rs 5,000 are fully depreciated in the year of purchase.

Schedule 17
Significant Accounting Policies (Contd.)
8. Stock Options Plan
Stock options grants to employees and to the non executive directors who accept the grant under the Company's Stock Option Plan are accounted in accordance with 'Guidance note on Accounting for Employee Share Based Payments' issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. The Company follows Intrinsic Value method and accordingly the excess, if any, of the market price of the underlying equity shares as of the date of the grant of option over the exercise price of the option is recognised as employee compensation cost and amortised on straight line basis over the vesting period.
9. Taxation
Current tax represents the amount that would be payable based on computation of tax as per prevailing taxation laws under the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Deferred tax is recognised, subject to the consideration of prudence, on timing differences being the difference between taxable income and accounting income that originates in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets are not recognised unless there is reasonable certainty (in case of brought forward loss and unabsorbed depreciation when there is virtual certainty) that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
10. Foreign Currency Transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in rupees by applying the exchange rate prevailing at the time of transactions. Exchange fluctuation on settlement and those arising on translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency at the balance sheet date are recognised in the profit and loss account as exchange gain or loss made during the year.
Loss on forward exchange contracts relating to firm commitments or highly probable forecast transactions is computed by multiplying the foreign currency amount of the forward exchange contract by the difference between the forward rate available at the reporting date for the remaining maturity of the contract and the contracted forward rate and recorded in the Profit & Loss Account. However, gain if any, relating to above transactions is accounted for only when the gain is realised.
11. Provisions and Contingencies
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions required to settle are reviewed regularly and are adjusted where necessary to reflect the current best estimates of the obligation. Where the Company expects a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset, only when such reimbursement is virtually certain. Contingent liabilities are disclosed after an evaluation of the facts and legal aspects of the matters involved.

Schedule 17
Significant Accounting Policies (Contd.)
12. Leases
(i) Operating Leases
Lease Rentals are recognised as an expense on straight line basis over the term of the lease.
(ii) Finance Leases
Assets acquired under finance leases are recognised as an Asset and a Liability at the lower of the fair value of the leased assets at inception of the lease and the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to periods during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability and charged to the Profit and Loss Account.
13. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are capitalised till substantial completion of all the activities that are necessary for this purpose. Other borrowing costs are charged to Profit and Loss Account.
14. Earnings Per Share (EPS)
The earnings considered in ascertaining the Company's EPS comprises the net profit after tax. The number of shares used in computing Basic EPS is the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

The Contract with Adkins was terminated by the Company on the ground of non-performance and continued breach of contract. The Company in addition to the above amount has made a claim of Rs. 198,054,000 along with interest at a fixed rate for damages on account of delay in providing the services by the said contractor.
The contractor had filed a counter claim of Rs 278,100,000 (Previous Year Rs 278,100,000) excluding interest against the Company for loss of profit, damages etc. which the Company disputes.

Petroleum & Natural Gas) on the basis of the exchange rate applicable on the date of the contract, has worked out the signature bonus as Rs. 14.1 million and claimed the balance amount of Rs. 4.1 million after adjusting the amount of Rs. 10 million, which has been opposed by the company. In the opinion of the management and based on legal advise obtained, no further amount is payable in this regard as in their opinion the prevailing rate on the date of payment of such amount (Rs 10 million) and not the rate prevailing on the date of the contract was applicable. This dispute has been referred to arbitration pursuant to the terms & conditions of the said contract.
This dispute has been referred to arbitration pursuant to the terms & conditions of the said contract and company filed a claim for refund of Rs. 6,27,400 along with fixed interest of 21% from 27th January, 1994. GOI filed a counterclaim of above mentioned amount of Rs.4.1 million along with interest at the rate of 21% from May 31, 2001. The matter is subjudice before the arbitration panel and necessary adjustments, if any, will be made in the financial statements once the arbitration proceedings are complete.

One of the contractor, Goel Construction (India) Limited, has filed a frivolous suit against the company claiming a sum of Rs. 30,262,764 towards unpaid amount under the contract and damages for unlawful termination of contract for construction of office building at Asansol. The Company has disputed the claim of the contractor and has initiated criminal proceeding against the contractor and its employees, for breach of trust and for putting the life of employees of the company at risk by undertaking faulty electrical wiring.
Rather than agreeing to the prayer of Contractor for stay on construction and engaging third party contractor, the Court has refused his pray and had just granted status quo over machinery and material belonging to the Contractor. This does not adversely affect the company in any manner. The court has also referred the matter to the Arbitration (as per terms of the contract) and the parties are in the process of appointing an arbitrator since the matter is pending before High Court. The Company is of the strong opinion that the claim of the said contractor is untenable and no amount is payable under the suit.
