DIRECTORS’ REPORTThe Directors present their 10th Report of Bharat PetroResources Limited (BPRL) for the Financial Year ended 31st March 2017:-

OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANYBPRL has participating interest (PI) in twenty two blocks of which twelve are located in India and ten overseas, along with equity stake in two Russian entities holding licence to four producing blocks in Russia. Seven of the twelve blocks in India were acquired under different rounds of New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP) and five blocks were awarded under the recently concluded Discovered small fields bid round 2016. Of the overseas blocks, six are in Brazil and one each in Mozambique, Indonesia, Australia and Timor Leste. The blocks of BPRL are in various stages of exploration, appraisal, pre-development and production. The total acreage held by BPRL and its subsidiaries is around 23,878 sq km of which approx 76% is offshore.

The PI in respect of Blocks in India and Australia are held directly by BPRL. The PI of 20% in Block-JPDA 06-103, in Timor Leste is held by BPRL’s wholly owned subsidiary company, i.e. Bharat PetroResources JPDA Limited in India. Further, BPRL has three wholly owned subsidiary companies located in Netherlands, Singapore and India. The subsidiary located in Netherlands, i.e. BPRL International BV, in turn has three wholly owned subsidiary companies viz. BPRL Ventures BV, BPRL Ventures Mozambique BV and BPRL Ventures Indonesia BV. BPRL Ventures BV has 50% stake in IBV Brasil Petroleo Limitada, which currently holds PI ranging from 20% to 40% in six blocks in offshore Brazil. BPRL Ventures Mozambique BV has PI of 10% in a block in Mozambique, and BPRL Ventures Indonesia BV holds PI of 12.5% in a block in Indonesia. In Financial Year 2016-17, BPRL has formed a wholly owned subsidiary located in Singapore, i.e. BPRL International Singapore Pte Ltd (BISPL). BISPL alongwith Oil India Ltd and Indian Oil Corporation Ltd has formed two Joint Venture Companies as Special purpose vehicles (SPV) i.e. Taas India Pte Ltd and Vankor India Pte Ltd in May 2016 with BPRL International Singapore Pte Ltd holding 33% stake in each of the SPV to hold stakes in the Companies in Russia.

BPRL and its consortia have a total of 25 discoveries in respect of Blocks held in five countries i.e. Brazil, Mozambique, Indonesia, Australia and in India.

Recently, BPRL has taken steps towards revenue generation by acquiring equity stake in Russian entities operating producing assets. As a result, the portfolio mix of BPRL has moved from that of Exploration, Appraisal and Pre-development stage to one which includes producing assets. Today, BPRL has assets from Exploration to Appraisal to Pre-development, and with stakes now in producing assets. BPRL had a successful exploration campaign in its maiden operatorship block located in Cambay basin


11

with two discoveries being notified to Directorate General of Hydrocarbons. BPRL is moving up the Hydrocarbon value chain and has enhanced its skill base through Operatorship. In order to enhance and complement the existing in-house skills, BPRL has inducted senior G&G staff during the year.

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) vide their notification dated 16th February 2015 notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 applicable for companies having net-worth of ` 500 crores or more or for subsidiary company of a Listed Company for accounting periods beginning on or after 1st April 2016. Accordingly, Ind AS is applicable to BPRL from Financial Year 2016-17 onwards. The transition was carried out from Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian GAAP) as prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, which was the “Previous GAAP”. As per the requirements of Ind AS, BPRL has prepared the financial statement for the year ended 31st March 2017, 31st March 2016 and the opening Ind AS Balance sheet as on the date of Transition i.e. 1st April 2015. In preparing the Ind AS Balance Sheet as at 1st April 2015 and in presenting the comparative information for the year ended 31st March 2016, the Company has adjusted amounts previously reported in the financial statements prepared in accordance with Previous GAAP.

As on 31st March 2017, BPRL has an authorized share capital of ` 3,000 crore and paid up share capital of ̀ 2,920 crore which is entirely held by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), the holding company. BPRL has recorded consolidated income of ` 50.92 crore and a consolidated loss of ` 500.03 crore for the Financial Year ending 31st March, 2017.The consolidated loss was mainly due to interest on loans taken for investments in Russian assets and due to fair valuation of financial assets.The Comptroller and Auditor General of India (C&AG) has vide letter dated 20th July, 2017 which is enclosed to the Directors’ Report as Annexure E, stated that on the basis of the audit, nothing significant has come to their knowledge which would give rise to any comment upon or supplement to the Statutory Auditor’s report.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS1. Industry structure and developments

Brent crude has averaged around US$52 per barrel in first half of 2017, up around 8% from its 2016 average of US$48 per barrel. Since the crude prices have been range-bound between US$40-50 per barrel in the recent past, Upstream Exploration & Production sector is currently treading carefully with respect to new field developments. Growth in oil supply is expected to outpace the growth in demand in the short-term thereby inhibiting price recovery. However, demand may overtake


12

supply over the medium to long-term due to deferment of key development activities and prolonged OPEC cuts leading to recovery of crude oil prices.

The recent downturn in oil prices has led to significant steps being taken by the Upstream Exploration & Production industry to reduce costs. These steps, along with improved recovery techniques and more efficient operations, are paving the way for lower break-evens across the industry.

In the near future, the recent oil price gains which are due to a rebalancing of supply and demand fundamentals, partly accelerated by OPEC’s recent decision to cut production are expected to remain in place. Oil and gas industry capital expenditures are expected to increase by as much as 7 percent in 2017. In addition, global rig counts, particularly in the U.S., have been on the rise since the middle of 2016.

It is estimated that the global consumption of petroleum and other liquid fuels is expected to increase by 1.5 million barrels per day in the year 2017 and by 1.6 million barrels per day in the year 2018. Similarly, India’s consumption of petroleum and other liquid fuels is expected to drive year-on-year increase of 0.26 million barrels per day in the year 2017.

2. Strength and WeaknessesBPRL deals with the operators of international repute, multinational companies, national oil companies and International Government Authorities. BPRL is recognized as ‘preferred partner’ by major operators with proven track record. BPRL is a lead operator in Cambay Block CB-ONN-2010/8 and is handling all the operations of the project. BPRL has 25 discoveries in five countries including world class discoveries in Mozambique and Brazil. In order to balance its portfolio and commence revenue generation, BPRL has acquired equity stake in two Russian entities holding license to four producing assets. BPRL has been supported by its Parent Company, i.e. BPCL, a Navratna & Fortune 500 company.

BPRL has gained operatorship experience in an onland block and has taken steps to enhance its operatorship capabilities. BPRL, being a Government Company and wholly owned subsidiary of BPCL, requires to depend largely on BPCL and Govt. of India for major investment decisions.

3. Opportunities and ThreatsAlthough the global demand for oil and gas has been stagnant, there is an increase in the demand for crude oil and petroleum products in India in the last two years and is expected to remain one of the fastest growing energy markets in the next two decades. In view of discoveries in the various blocks in which it holds PI, BPRL will have significant opportunities for growth in India and abroad. Further,


13

BPRL has in the Financial Year 2016-17 acquired equity stakes in two companies in Russia that hold the license to 4 producing assets, which is a big leap towards fulfillment of its aspiration for revenue generation.

The fall in the international crude prices has been arrested to some extent in the year 2016-17 due to OPEC production cuts and sporadic outages in the Middle East. Increasing certainty in the Permian basin and other shale assets in U.S. could also have an impact on the crude prices. Besides, increasing competition, change in Government policies, crude price volatility, macro-economic conditions, exchange rate fluctuations, delay in obtaining regulatory approvals from Government are some of the other factors that BPRL may encounter in the upstream space.

Political developments in Brazil and depressed oil prices could have an impact in the development of deepwater discoveries of Brazil.

4. OutlookBPRL has PI in various blocks in India and abroad in consortium with world renowned companies. BPRL’s discoveries in Mozambique and Indonesia are on the threshold of development planning with respective operators working out the detailed plan of development while the discoveries in Brazil are in the appraisal stage. In spite of the current price scenario and geopolitical developments, the Operators of the Mozambique and Brazil blocks are evaluating various options to commence the pre-development activities and look into developing these projects to achieve first oil/gas early next decade.

The dividends from Russian assets have commenced in Financial Year 2017-18. From Exploration to Appraisal to Pre-development and Production, and now with acquisition of equity stakes in companies in Russian entities, BPRL is moving up the Hydrocarbon value chain and has also enhanced its skill base through Operatorship in onland block.

5. Risks and ConcernsThe world is seeing an acceleration in spread and scale of new technologies like renewables and clean technologies with factors like climate change and environmental concerns providing an impetus to the same.

Recent studies by oil majors and the International Energy Agency (IEA) point to the fact that oil, gas and coal are expected to remain the dominant sources of energy powering the world economy, accounting for more than three-quarters of total energy supplies till 2035. Oil growth is expected to continue, although its pace of growth could be gradual. Gas, however, is expected to be the fastest growing fuel, with its share in primary energy projected to increase as it overtakes coal to be the second-largest fuel source by 2035.

6. Internal Control systems and their adequacyBPRLs internal control systems are commensurate with the nature of its business and the size & complexity of its operations and ensures the efficiency, reliability and completeness of accounting records and compliance of applicable laws and regulations. Further, all transactions adheres to the requisite procedures, policies and are in accordance with the statutory requirements. The Internal Audit of BPRL for the Financial Year ended 2016-17 was carried out by the team of Internal Audit in BPCL headed by ED (Audit), BPCL. Additionally, the non-operator audit for Blocks in Mozambique, Brazil, Indonesia and select Indian Blocks has been carried out during the Financial Year. The Audit Committee of the Board periodically reviews significant findings of the Internal Auditor covering operational, financial and other areas and provides guidance on internal controls.

7. Discussion on financial performance with respect to operational performancePerformance details pertaining to various blocks have been covered suitably in the Report.

8. Material developments in Human Resources/Industrial Relations front, including number of people employedBPRL comprises optimum combination of professionals from different background such as geology, engineering and finance. A separate cell exists for Human Resources which looks after the activities relating to manpower, training of staff and administration. Most of the employees in BPRL are deputed from the parent Company i.e. BPCL. During the year, 2 staffs have joined directly in BPRL cadre. The activities relating to Human Resources are looked after in line with the policies of BPCL. All necessary training, programmes, are conducted for Human resources development to operate in international environment. Further, senior Geoscientists are engaged as consultants to add value to its projects and to evaluate new projects. The total manpower of BPRL including 4 consultants is 54. BPRL is also accessing options for placement of other domain specialists like production engineers, facilities engineers, petrophysicists and drilling engineers as it moves to become a producing company and handle more Blocks as Operator.

9. Environmental Protection and conservation, Technological conservation, Renewable energy developments, Foreign Exchange conservationBPRL is lead Operator of one on-land block situated in Cambay basin and a Joint Operator in two onland blocks, one each in Jaisalmer Basin in Rajasthan and Cambay basin in Gujarat. In the other blocks including Foreign Blocks, BPRL is consortium partner and hence not directly involved in the execution of works related to the Blocks and the Operator of respective block performs the activities


15

related to Environmental Protection and conservation, Technological conservation, Renewable energy developments and Foreign Exchange conservation.

In on land operatorship Block in Cambay basin, the Environmental Clearance (EC) has been obtained from Ministry of Environment & Forest (MOEF) to carry out drilling of exploratory wells. Further, consent to Establish (CTE) from Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) for drilling of wells was also obtained. BPRL has followed all the GPCB, DGMS and other statutory norms for the operations of the said Block and submitted compliance report from time to time to statutory authorities.

10. Corporate Social ResponsibilityAt present, the blocks of BPRL are in various stages of exploration/appraisal/pre-development/production and there are no profits recorded during the Financial Year. Accordingly, no expenditure is being incurred on the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by BPRL directly. However, BPRL is a consortium member of various blocks wherein the activities related to CSR are undertaken by the Operator.

In terms of the Companies Act, 2013, CSR committee shall comprise minimum three Directors including at least one Independent Director. Accordingly, BPRL will be able to reconstitute the CSR committee after receiving nomination of Independent Directors from Govt. of India.

CURRENT STATUS OF BLOCKSBLOCKS ACQUIRED THROUGH FOREIGN SUBSIDIARY COMPANIESRUSSIABPRL along with Oil India Limited (OIL) and India Oil Corporation Ltd (IOC), jointly referred to as the Indian Consortium (IC) entered into definitive agreements for the Vankor transaction in June 2016 after completion of due diligences on 2nd June 2016. Similar agreement for Taas transaction was executed in March 2016. Subsequently, the proposal for Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs (CCEA) approval for the Russian acquisition was submitted to the Government of India on 12th July 2016 and approval for the same was accorded.

BPRL along with OIL and IOC, through joint venture companies formed by their wholly owned subsidiaries in Singapore, completed on 05th October 2016 two transactions, viz. acquisition of 23.9% shares of the charter capital of JSC Vankorneft, a company organised under the laws of the Russian Federation, which is the owner of Vankor and North Vankor Field licenses, from Rosneft Oil Company (Rosneft), a National Oil Company of Russia; and acquisition of 29.9% of the participatory share in charter capital of LLC Taas Yuryakh Neftegazodobycha (“TYNGD”), from LLC RN Razvedka I Dobycha, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rosneft.


16

Currently Rosneft holds about 50.1% shares in JSC Vankorneft, ONGC Videsh Ltd (through its subsidiary) holds 26% shares of JSC Vankorneft and IC (through subsidiary companies) holds the remaining 23.9%. In TYNGD, presently, Rosneft (through subsidiary) holds 50.1% share, BP (through a subsidiary) holds 20% share and IC (through subsidiary companies) holds the remaining 29.9% stake.

Vankor field, located in East Siberia is Russia’s second largest field by production and accounts for around 4% of Russian production. During the year 2016, the Vankor field produced approx. 20.71 MMT of oil and 9 BCM of gas. TYNGD is currently producing approx. 1.1 MMTPA of oil and is expected to ramp up the oil production to 5 MMTPA of oil by 2021.

Both the acquisitions strengthen BPRL’s existing E&P portfolio and is consistent with its strategic objective of adding high quality international assets to its portfolio.

MOZAMBIQUE

BPRL, through its overseas subsidiary company, holds 10% participating interest (PI) in the Mozambique Area 1 block. The other consortium members in the block are Anadarko 26.5% (operator), Beas Rovuma Energy Mozambique Limited (OVL-OIL) (10% PI), ONGC Videsh Limited (10%), PTTEP AI (8.5% PI) and Mitsui E&P Mozambique Area 1, Limited (20% PI). The balance 15% PI is with Empressa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos E.P (ENH), the National oil Company of Mozambique.

Mozambique LNG is emerging as a future leader in the global LNG industry as it works to develop an LNG facility on the Afungi peninsula in Cabo Delgado province. With approximately 75 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas discovered in the Offshore Area 1, the Mozambique LNG Project represents an extraordinary opportunity to meet increasing world demand for a sustainable, reliable and cleaner source of energy. The partnership is planning an initial development of approximately 12 MMTPA (2x6 MMPTA onshore liquefaction trains) and a site plan that will facilitate future expansions of more than 50 MMPTA.Mozambique’s favourable central geographic location means the country is well positioned to meet the needs of customers in the Atlantic and Asia-Pacific markets plus tap into the growing demand for energy in the Middle East and Indian sub-continent. The partnership is committed to working collaboratively with Mozambican communities and government officials to safely develop these natural gas resources in a manner that protects the environment, encourages additional foreign investment and contributes to the long-term economic stability of the region.

The development plan for the project has been submitted to Mozambique Government in December 2016 and discussions to arrive at an aligned position are in progress.


17

With the support of the Mozambican Government, the partnership continues to advance the project to a Final Investment Decision (FID) and have made progress toward delivering the key elements required for FID. The key agreements including the marine concessions are approved by the Council of Ministers and the execution of the marine concession agreements would mark the completion of the core components of the legal and contractual framework that provide stability to the project throughout its economic life and supports continued equity investment and access to project finance.

The Mozambican Government has approved the resettlement plan in December 2016 which entails construction of the resettlement village and livelihood restoration programs. The operator is presently working on permits and licenses. Construction would commence on receipt of these.

On the marketing front, negotiations are in progress to arrive at Sales and Purchase Agreements with key strategic buyers and completion of these would determine the timing of FID.

Despite Mozambique’s current macroeconomic situation, the project financing activities are continuing with engaged lenders who have indicated strong support for project financing debt of approximately 2/3 of the capital required.

The project will take FID once the three elements – legal and contractual framework, offtake agreements and project financing are fully in place.

BRAZIL

IBV Brasil Petroleo Limitada (incorporated in Brazil) a joint venture company of BPRL Ventures BV, and Videocon Energy Brazil Ltd, a foreign subsidiary of Videocon Industries Limited, holds PI in 6 blocks in 3 concessions in Brazil. 5 out of 6 blocks are operated by Brazil’s National Oil Company Petrobras, and 1 block is operated by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, USA.

Sergipe Alagoas (BM-SEAL-11) concessionThe exploration phase consists of two exploration periods. All the minimum work program activities for the two exploration periods in these blocks have been completed. During the exploration periods, four discoveries of Oil & Gas i.e. ‘Barra’, ‘Farfan’, ‘Cumbe’ and ‘Barra#1’ have been made in this concession. Presently, the consortium is carrying out activities in four appraisal plans namely “Barra”, “Farfan”, “Cumbe” & “Verde” and the area under “Papangu” appraisal plan, in SEAL-M-569 block has been relinquished after completing the firm activities.

The Operator is taking steps for assessing reservoir extent including extended well testing. Petrobras has formed Joint Working Team to interact closely for expediting the Sergipe Project development.

Potiguar (BM-POT-16) concessionDuring the first exploration period (2006- mid 2014), the minimum commitment activities have since been completed, including drilling of one exploration well called “Ararauna” in POT-M-760. Based on the oil and gas shows observed in Ararauna well, ANP has approved Ararauna appraisal plan, covering both the blocks in BM-POT-16 concession, consisting of firm commitment of drilling one well & G&G studies. Regulator ANP has approved the postponement of deadline of Ararauna Appraisal Plan till November 2021.

There are number of sizable prospects identified based on the old 3D seismic data interpretation. To mature these prospects to drilling, consortium is in process to acquire new 3D seismic data for better understanding of fault entrapment. The planned new 3D seismic study will help to reduce the risk/ uncertainty involved in fault entrapment.

Campos (BM-C-30) concessionDuring the exploration periods, Wahoo discovery was announced. After the completion of the exploratory periods in Nov 2010 the consortium decided to move on to Appraisal phase. Under the Appraisal plan drilling of two firm Appraisal wells, screening of Development concepts, Pre-FEED engineering studies on identified facility options were completed. ANP has, in March 2016, approved the extension of Wahoo Appraisal Plan from September 30, 2015 to November 30, 2018.

The consortium is in process to study various available options before any firm commitment is made towards field development. The objective is to address all the uncertainties involved in the project to facilitate a commercially viable field development option.

INDONESIABPRL Ventures Indonesia BV, has Participating Interest (PI) of 12.5% in Nunukan Block PSC. Other Joint Venture (JV) partners are PT Pertamina Hulu Energi with 64.5% PI as Operator; and Videocon Indonesia with 23% PI. There has been discovery of oil and natural gas in Badik 1 well and hydrocarbon discovery confirmed in all appraisal wells. The Plan of Development (POD) for Nunukan PSC in Indonesia has been approved by both the Regulator SKKMigas and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Govt. of Indonesia.

The activities pertaining to FEED for the Nunukan block were deferred in lieu of exploration of an additional prospect (Parang) in order to create additional value for the approved Plan of Development and to meet market requirements. Accordingly,


19

the Operator proposed to drill an additional prospect to augment the reserves and production. Subsequently, an exploration well was spud in a new prospect – Parang, which led to discovery of Oil and Gas.

BLOCK ACQUIRED THROUGH INDIAN SUBSIDIARYBharat PetroResources JPDA Limited (“the Company”) was incorporated as a wholly owned Subsidiary Company of BPRL. The Company was formed as a Special Purpose Vehicle for undertaking the exploration activities in the Block JPDA 06-103 awarded to the Company, in the Joint Petroleum Development Area (JPDA), by the Autoridade Nacional do Petroleo of Timor Leste. The Company currently holds 20% participating interest (PI) each, in this block. The other consortium members are Videocon JPDA 06-103 Limited & GSPC JPDA Limited, both holding 20% PI, Pan Pacific Petroleum (JPDA 06-103) Pty Limited holding 15% PI, Oilex Limited (as Operator) holding 10% PI and Japan Energy E&P JPDA Pty Limited holding 15% PI in the said block.

Timor Leste Government has initiated arbitration proceedings against the Government of Australia to have the Certain Maritime Arrangements in Timor Sea (CMATS) Treaty declared void ab initio. The termination of CMATS results in automatic Termination of Timor Sea Treaty governing petroleum operations in the JPDA, and in effect the Production Sharing Contract (PSC).

In view of the uncertainty arising out of arbitration proceedings, the Joint Venture (JV) had submitted its request to ANP for termination of PSC without claim or penalty. ANP, however rejected the claim of the JV and delivered its notice to terminate the PSC imposing Contractors Liability upon Termination. JV, while accepting the termination requested for negotiation for amicable settlement of contractor’s liabilities upon termination which is still under consideration.

*Under previous GAAP, interest free borrowings were measured at transaction value. Under Ind AS, interest free borrowing being financial liability, is required to be initially recognized at fair value. Accordingly, cash flows have been discounted using market rate of interest and differential is accounted as equity component of financial instrument. Accordingly, as on 31st March, 2016, borrowing was fair valued at ` 17,918.13 lakhs and as on 31st March, 2017 at ` 204,709.94 lakhs in the Financial Statement.

ANNExURE - B TO INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORTReferred to in Paragraph 12(f) of the Independent Auditors’ Report of even date on the

financial statement as of and for the year ended March 31st, 2017.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

1. We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Bharat PetroResources Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31st, 2017 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls2. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal

financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors’ Responsibility3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls

over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.


56

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting6. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed

to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that

(a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

(b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

(c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting7. Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting,

including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion8. In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial

controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2017, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH, 2017 Company Overview Bharat PetroResources Limited referred to as “BPRL” or “the Company” was incorporated

on 17th October, 2006. It is wholly owned subsidiary of Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) which is a Government of India Enterprise listed on BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The company is engaged in the business of exploration and production of Hydrocarbons.

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies Basis for preparation: The Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with Indian

Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“Act”) read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015; and the other relevant provisions of the Act and Rules thereunder.

The Financial Statements have been prepared under historical cost convention basis, except for certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

These financial statements are the first financial statements of the Company under Ind AS. The date of transition to Ind AS is 1 April, 2015. Refer note 40 for an explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Company’s financial position and its net profit.

The Company has adopted all the Ind AS provisions and the adoption was carried out in accordance with Ind AS 101 First time adoption of Indian Accounting Standards. The transition was carried out from generally accepted accounting principles in India (Indian GAAP) as prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (IGAAP), which was the previous GAAP.

The Company’s presentation and functional currency is Indian Rupees. All figures appearing in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest lakhs (` Lakhs), except where otherwise indicated.

Authorisation of Financial Statements: The Financial Statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors in its meeting held on 19th May 2017.

1.1 Use of Judgement and Estimates The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make

judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities and the accompanying disclosures along with contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require material adjustments to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. The Company continually evaluates these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information.

Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as below:• Assessment of functional currency;• Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets;

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

- Note 4 – impairment of exploration and evaluation assets: key assumptions for underlying recoverable amounts;

- Note 5 – impairment of investment in subsidiary


62

- Note 17 – recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies: key assumptions about the likelihood and magnitude of an outflow resources;

- Note 28 – recognition of deferred tax assets: availability of future taxable profit against which tax losses carried forward can be used;

- Note 29 (ii) – impairment of financial assets;• Estimation of oil and natural gas reserves

- The determination of the group’s estimated oil and natural gas reserves requires significant judgements and estimates to be applied and these are regularly reviewed and updated. Factors such as the availability of geological and engineering data, reservoir performance data, acquisition and divestment activity, drilling of new wells, and commodity prices all impact on the determination of the group’s estimates of its oil and natural gas reserves. The group bases its proved reserves estimates on the requirement of reasonable certainty with rigorous technical and commercial assessments based on conventional industry practice and regulatory requirements.

- Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are used to calculate depreciation, depletion and amortization charges for the group’s oil and gas properties. The impact of changes in estimated proved reserves is dealt with prospectively by amortizing the remaining carrying value of the asset over the expected future production. Oil and natural gas reserves also have a direct impact on the assessment of the recoverability of asset carrying values reported in the financial statements. If proved reserves estimates are revised downwards, retained earnings could be affected by changes in depreciation expense or an immediate write-down of the property’s carrying value.

1.2 Property, plant and equipment 1.2.1. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated

depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. 1.2.2. The initial cost of an asset comprises its purchase price or construction

cost (including import duties and non-refundable taxes), any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset into the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, the initial estimate of any decommissioning obligation, if any, and, borrowing cost for qualifying assets (i.e. assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use).

1.2.3. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

1.2.4. Expenditures on Assets other than plant and machinery, not exceeding the threshold limit are charged to revenue.

1.2.5. Spare parts which meet the definition of Property, Plant and Equipment are capitalized as Property, Plant and Equipment in case the unit value of the spare part is above the threshold limit. In other cases, the spare part are inventorised on procurement and charged to Statement of Profit and Loss on consumption.

1.2.6. An item of Property, Plant and Equipment and any significant part initially recognised separately as part of Property, Plant and Equipment is derecognised upon disposal; or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset is included in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.

1.2.7. The residual values and useful lives of Property, Plant and Equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and changes, if any, are accounted in the line with revisions to accounting estimates.


63

1.2.8. On date of transition to Ind AS i.e 1st April 2015, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of the Property, Plant and Equipment existing as per previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost.

1.3 Depreciation Depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipment are provided on the straight line basis,

over the estimated useful lives of assets (after retaining the estimated residual value of upto 5%). These useful lives determined are in line with the useful lives as prescribed in the Schedule II of the Act, except in following cases:1.3.1. Items of Property, Plant and Equipment costing not more than the threshold

limit are depreciated at 100 percent in the year of acquisition.1.3.2. Computer equipments are depreciated over a period of 4 years. Mobile phones

are depreciated over a period of 2 years. Furniture, other than computer equipment and mobile phones, provided at the residence of management staff are depreciated over a period of 6 years (Previously 7 Years) as per internal assessment.

1.3.3. Workstations are depreciated over a period of 5 years. The useful lives are estimated based on the internal assessment. Depreciation is charged on additions/deletions on pro-rata monthly basis including the month of addition/deletion.

1.4. Intangible Assets1.4.1. Intangible assets are carried at cost net of accumulated amortization,

accumulated depletion and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Internally generated intangibles, excluding exploration and development costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. Development costs are capitalised if, and only if, technical and commercial feasibility of the project is demonstrated, future economic benefits are probable, the Company has an intention and ability to complete and use or sell the asset and the costs can be measured reliably.

1.4.2. Expenditure incurred for creating / acquiring other than hydrocarbon producing intangible assets above threshold limit from which future economic benefits will flow over a period of time, is amortised over the estimated useful life of the asset or five years, whichever is lower, on a straight line basis, from the time the intangible asset starts providing the economic benefit. In other cases, the expenditure is reflected in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite life are reviewed at each year end. The amortisation expense on intangible asset with finite useful lives and impairment loss in case there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired, is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.4.3. On transition to Ind AS i.e 1st April 2015, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of the intangible assets as per previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost.

1.5. Oil and natural gas producing activities 1.5.1. The company follows the accounting policy as explained below for its oil and

natural gas exploration and production activities.i. Acquisition costs such as costs incurred to purchase, lease or otherwise

acquired a property or mineral right proved or unproved are capitalised. Any pre-acquisition costs are expensed as and when incurred.

ii. All costs which are directly attributable to the exploration and evaluation


64

activities of oil and gas are capitalised. General and administrative costs are included in the exploration and evaluation costs only to the extent that those costs can be directly attributable to the related exploration and evaluation assets. In all other cases, these costs are expensed as incurred.

iii. The Company classifies the acquisition costs, exploration and evaluation assets as tangible asset or intangible asset according to nature of assets acquired.

iv. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting oil and gas is determinable, exploration and evaluation assets are classified as intangible assets under development. Exploration and evaluation asset is assessed for impairment, and impairment loss if any, is recognized, before such reclassification. Subsequent development costs are capitalised as and when incurred.

v. When a block or cost centre is ready to commence commercial production, the capitalised costs referred above are reclassified as intangible assets. The cost centre is not normally smaller than a country except where warranted by major difference in economic, fiscal or other factors in the country.

vi. When the block or cost centre are relinquished, accumulated cost is charged off as an expense in the said year.

vii. The Company recognizes the obligations for removal and restoration that are incurred during a particular period as a consequence of having undertaken the exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources. The Company capitalises the same as part of property, plant and equipment or intangible asset, as the case may be, the amount of provision required to be created for subsequent abandonment. The provision for estimated abandonment costs is made at current prices considering the environment and social obligations, terms of mining lease agreement, industry practice, etc. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of the provision is the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The discount rate (or rates) is pre-tax rate (or rates) that reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Where there is uncertainty of timing on incurrence of the expenditure, time value of money is not considered while providing for the obligations. Changes in the measurement of existing abandonment costs that result from changes in the estimated timing or amount of the outflow of resources embodying economic benefits required to settle the obligation or a change in the discount rate is added to, or deducted from the related field in the current period and is considered for necessary depletion (depreciation) prospectively. The change in the estimated provision due to the periodic unwinding of the discount is recognized in statement of profit and loss as it occurs.

viii. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. Impairment test is performed in accordance with the procedures given in para 1.9 for impairment of non-financial assets. Impairment loss, if any is recognized as an expense.

ix. The Company allocates exploration and evaluation assets to cash generating units or group of cash generating units for the purpose of assessing such assets for impairment.


65

1.6. Depletion

1.6.1. Depletion charge is calculated on the capitalised cost according to the unit of production method. The depreciation charge or the unit of production (UOP) charge for all costs within a cost centre is calculated by multiplying the UOP rate with the production for the period. The UOP rate for computing depreciation charge for the acquisition cost within a field is arrived at by dividing the acquisition cost of the field by the Proved Oil and Gas Reserves and for all capitalised cost excluding acquisition cost by dividing the depreciation base of the cost centre by the Proved Developed Oil and Gas Reserves. The depreciation base of a cost centre includes gross block of the cost centre, estimated future development expenditure and estimated site restoration expenditure and is reduced by the accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment charge of the cost centre. The estimates of proved reserves used are based on the latest technical assessment available with the Company.

1.7. Borrowing costs

1.7.1. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs also include exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.

1.7.2. Borrowing costs that are specifically attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets (i.e. an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use) are capitalized as a part of the cost of such assets. All other borrowing costs are capitalised at the capitalisation rate in respect of qualifying assets and balance borrowing cost after capitalisation are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.8. Leases

1.8.1. Finance Lease

Lease agreements are classified as finance leases, if substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of leased asset is transferred to lessee.

Lease agreements in respect of land for lease period above threshold limit are classified as a finance lease.

1.8.2. Operating Lease Payments made under operating leases are recognised in Statement of Profit

and Loss with reference to lease terms and other relevant considerations. Lease incentives received / lease premium paid (if any) are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease. Payments made under Operating Leases are generally recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, unless such payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation.

1.9. Impairment of Non-financial Assets1.9.1. Non-financial assets other than inventories, deferred tax assets and non-current

assets classified as held for sale are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s or Cash-Generating Units (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.


66

1.9.2. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

1.10. Revenue Recognition1.10.1. Sale of goods1.10.2. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits

will flow to the Company and the revenue can be measured reliably, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government.

1.10.3. Income from sale of crude oil and gas produced from wells until start of commercial production is adjusted against the cost of such wells.

1.10.4. Income from sale of crude oil and gas is recognized net of applicable CST/VAT, as applicable when it can be reliably measured and it is reasonable to expect ultimate collection. Any retrospective revision in prices of crude oil and gas is accounted for in the year of such revision.

1.10.5. Revenue in respect of interest on delayed realizations from customers, if any, is recognized when it can be reliably measured and it is reasonable to expect ultimate collection.

1.10.6. Interest income is recognised using effective interest rate (EIR) method.

1.10.7. Dividend is recognised when right to receive the payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the entity and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably.

1.10.8. Liquidated Damages for delay in execution of contracts/supplies are accounted for as per the terms of the contracts and are recognized as income in the year of deduction.

1.11. Classification of Income / Expenses

1.11.1. Income / expenditure in aggregate pertaining to prior year(s) above the threshold limit are corrected retrospe ctively in the first set of financial statements approved for issue after their discovery by restating the comparative amounts and / or restating the opening Balance Sheet for the earliest prior period presented.

1.11.2. Prepaid expenses upto threshold limit in each case, are charged to revenue as and when incurred.

1.11.3. Liabilities for expenses are provided for only if the amount exceeds the threshold limit in each case.

1.11.4. Deposits placed with Government agencies/ local authorities which are perpetual in nature are charged to revenue in the year of payment.

1.12. Employee Benefits

1.12.1. Short-term employee benefit

Short term employee benefits are recognized as an expense at an undiscounted amount in the Statement of Profit and Loss of the year in which the related services are rendered.

1.12.2. Post-employment benefits

Liability towards post retirement benefits and other long term benefits in


67

respect of staff deputed from BPCL is provided based on the debit notes from BPCL. In respect of BPRL cadre, liability is provided based on the employer’s contribution towards Provident Fund, Gratuity, etc. as per respective schemes.

Defined contribution scheme: Obligations for contribution to defined contribution plans such as Provident

Fund, etc. are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss as the related services are provided.

Defined benefits scheme: Obligations for contribution to defined benefits plans such as Gratuity, etc.

are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss as the related services are provided.

1.12.3. Other long-term employee benefits

Liability towards long term employee benefits in respect of staff deputed from BPCL is provided based on the debit notes from BPCL. In respect of BPRL cadre, liability is provided based on the employer’s contribution towards leave encashment etc. as per respective schemes.

1.13. Foreign Currency Transactions

1.13.1. Monetary items:

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at their respective exchange rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates at the reporting date.

Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss either as profit or loss on foreign currency transaction.

1.13.2. Non – Monetary items: Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign

currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

1.14. Investment in Subsidiary

Investments in equity shares of Subsidiaries, Joint Venture & Associates are recorded at cost and reviewed for impairment at each reporting date.

1.15. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Capital Commitments

1.15.1. Provisions are recognized when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

1.15.2. The expenses relating to a provision is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss net of reimbursements, if any.

1.15.3. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.


68

1.15.4. Contingent liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will only be confirmed by future events not wholly within the control of the Company, or present obligations where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

1.15.5. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of economic resources is considered remote.

1.15.6. Contingent liabilities and Capital Commitments disclosed are in respect of items which in each case are above the threshold limit.

1.16. Fair Value measurement

1.16.1. The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date.

1.16.2. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Company has access at that date. The fair value of a liability also reflects its non-performance risk.

1.16.3. The Company regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If the third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the Company assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that these valuations meet the requirements of Ind AS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified.

1.16.4. While measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:

- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)

- Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

1.16.5. Certain accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non- financial assets and liabilities.

1.16.6. When quoted price in active market for an instrument is available, the Company measures the fair value of the instrument using that price. A market is regarded as active if transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

1.16.7. If there is no quoted prices in an active market, then the Company uses a valuation techniques that maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction.


69

1.16.8. The best estimate of the fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is normally the transaction price – i.e. the fair value of the consideration given or received. If the Company determines that the fair value on initial recognition differs from the transaction price and the fair value is evidenced neither by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability nor based on a valuation technique for which any unobservable inputs are judged to be insignificant in relation to the measurement, then the financial instrument is initially measured at fair value, adjusted to defer the difference between the fair value on initial recognition and the transaction price. Subsequently that difference is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on an appropriate basis over the life of the instrument but no later than when the valuation is wholly supported by observable market data or the transaction is closed out.

1.17. Financial Assets Initial recognition and measurement All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets

not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement Subsequent measurement is determined with reference to the classification of the

respective financial assets. Based on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset, the Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit and loss. Debt instruments at amortised cost A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:The asset is held within a business model whose objective is - To hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and - Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely

payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Debt instruments at Fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)

A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the fair value through other comprehensive income if both the following conditions are met:The asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both- collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets - Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are SPPI

on the principal amount outstanding.After initial measurement, these assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income under effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and


70

impairment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive Income. Debt instruments at Fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)

Fair value through profit and loss is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorisation as at amortised cost or as FVOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.After initial measurement, any fair value changes including any interest income, foreign exchange gain and losses, impairment loss and other net gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.1.17.1. Derecognition A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a

group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company’s Balance Sheet) when.

The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset

or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either:

- The Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or

- The Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

On de-recognition, any gains or losses on all debt instruments (other than debt instruments measured at FVOCI) and equity instruments (measured at FVTPL) are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Gains and losses in respect of debt instruments measured at FVOCI and that are accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit and loss. Gains or losses on equity instruments measured at FVOCI are recognised and that are accumulated in OCI and are not reclassified to profit and loss.

1.17.2. Impairment of financial assets

In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss (“ECL”) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets measured at amortised cost and debt instruments measured at FVOCI.

In respect of financial assets measured at amortised cost, the loss allowance is measured at 12 months ECL for financial assets with low credit risk at the reporting date and there is a significant deterioration in the credit risk since initial recognition of the asset.

1.17.3. Financial Liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

All financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value net off, for a financial liability not at fair value through profit and loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the respective financial liability.


71

Subsequent measurement Subsequent measurement is determined with reference to the classification of

the respective financial liabilities. The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.

Financial Liabilities at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)

A financial liability is classified as at fair value through profit and loss if it is classified as held-for-trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and changes therein, including any interest expense, are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.

Financial Liabilities measured at amortised cost

After initial recognition, financial liabilities other than those which are classified as fair value through profit and loss are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method (“EIR”).

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.17.4. Loans and borrowings After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently

measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

1.17.5. Derecognition A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability

is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.18. Financial guarantees Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require

a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of the debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the fair value initially recognised less cumulative amortisation.

1.19. Offsetting of financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in

the Balance Sheet, if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.


72

1.20. Taxes on Income

1.20.1. Current Tax

Income-tax Assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, by the end of reporting period.

Current Tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in the Statement of Profit and Loss, other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

1.20.2. Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the Balance Sheet method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred Tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in the Statement of Profit and Loss, other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

1.21. Joint operations

The Company has Joint arrangement in the nature of Production Sharing Contracts (PSC) with the Government of respective countries and/or various bodies corporate for exploration, development and production activities.

The income, expenditure, assets and liabilities of the Joint operations are merged on line by line basis according to the participating interest with the similar items in the financial statements of the Company.


73

1.22. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends, if any, and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effect of all dilutive potential equity shares.

1.23. Classification of Assets and Liabilities as Current and Non-Current

All assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle (determined at 12 months) and other criteria set out in Schedule III of the Act.

1.24. Cash and Cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank, cash, cheque and draft on hand. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.

1.25. Cash Flows

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, where by net profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities are segregated.

iii. Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

The company has not availed any credit facilities from banks and financial institutions.

Exposure to liquidity riskThe table below analyses the Company’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for all non derivative financial liabilities. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and includes contractual interest payments.

iv. Market riskCurrency riskThe Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its operating activities. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future. The Company has not taken derivative instruments to hedge the foreign currency risk and strives to achieve asset liability offset of foreign currency exposure. Also, the company continuously monitors the fluctuation in currency risk and ensures that the company does not have adverse impact on account of fluctuation in exchange rates.

Notes to the financial statementsNote 29 Financial instruments – Fair values and risk management (continued)

Interest rate riskInterest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing instruments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing instruments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.

The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to fixed deposits with banks and borrowings from parent company.

For details of the Company’s long term loans and borrowings, including interest rate profiles, refer to Note 13 of these financial statements.

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed-rate instrumentsThe company's fixed rate deposits with banks are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in IND AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flow will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable-rate instrumentsA reasonably possible change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased / (decreased) profit or loss by amounts shown below. This analyses assumes that all other variables, remain constant. This calculation also assumes that the change occurs at the balance sheet date and has been calculated based on risk exposures outstanding as at that date. The period end balances are not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the period. The impact is indicated on the profit/(loss) before tax.

Notes to the financial statementsNote 40 First - time adoption of Ind ASI. First-time adoption of Ind AS These are the company’s first financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS. The accounting policies set out in note 2 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for

the year ended 31 March 2017, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016 and in the presentation of an opening Ind AS balance sheet at 1 April 2015 (the Company’s date of transition). In preparing its opening Ind AS balance sheet, the Company has adjusted the amount reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting standards notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and other relevant provisions of the Act (previous GAAP or Indian GAAP). An explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the company’s financial position and financial performance is set out in the following tables and notes.II. Exemptions from retrospective application

Ind AS 101 allows first-time adopter certain exemptions from the retrospective application of certain requirements under Ind AS. The Company has applied the following exemptions:

a) Deemed cost for Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) and Intangible assets Ind AS 101 permits a first time adopter to continue with the carrying value for all its property,

plant and equipment and intangible assets as recognised in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition.

Accordingly, the company has elected to measure all of its PPE and intangible asset at their previous GAAP carrying values.

b) Deemed cost for investment in subsidiary The Company has elected to use the previous GAAP carrying amount of its investment in

subsidiary on the date of transition as its deemed cost on that date, in its separate financial statements.

c) Deemed cost for exploration and evaluation assets Ind AS 101 permits a first time adopter to measure oil and gas assets at the date of transition to Ind

AS on the following basis:

(a) exploration and evaluation assets at the amount determined under the entity’s previous GAAP; and

(b) assets in the development or production phases at the amount determined for the cost centre under the entity’s previous GAAP. The entity shall allocate this amount to the cost centre’s underlying assets pro rata using reserve volumes or reserve values as of that date.

Accordingly, the company has elected to measure all of its exploration and evaluation assets at their previous GAAP carrying values.

The remaining voluntary exemptions as per Ind AS 101 - First time adoption either do not apply or are not relevant to the Company.

III. Exceptions from full retrospective application:

a) Estimates Upon an assessment of the estimates made under Indian GAAP, the Company has concluded

that there was no necessity to revise such estimates under Ind AS, except where estimates were required by Ind AS and not required by Indian GAAP.

The remaining mandatory exceptions either do not apply or are not relevant to the Company.

Notes to the financial statementsTransition to Ind AS:For the purposes of reporting as set out in Note 1, we have transitioned our basis of accounting from Indian generally accepted accounting principles (“IGAAP”) to Ind AS. The accounting policies set out in note 1 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016 and in the preparation of an opening Ind AS balance sheet at 1 April 2015 (the “transition date”).In preparing our opening Ind AS balance sheet, we have adjusted amounts reported in financial statements prepared in accordance with IGAAP. An explanation of how the transition from IGAAP to Ind AS has affected our financial performance, cash flows and financial position is set out in the following tables and the notes that accompany the tables. On transition, we did not revise estimates previously made under IGAAP except where required by Ind AS.

Notes to the reconciliation:1. Under previous GAAP, interest free borrowing were measured at transaction value. Under Ind

AS, interest free borrowing being financial liability, is required to be initially recognized at fair value. Accordingly, cashflows have been discounted using market rate of interest and differential is acocunted as equity component of financial instrument.

2. Under previous GAAP, the company did not have any interest bearing liabilities. Under Ind AS, interest free borrowing has been fair valued and interest expense has been accounted for. The said interest has been capitalised as the company has qualifying assets.

3. Under previous GAAP, prior periods items are recognized in the year in which it is identified. Under Ind AS, prior period items are recognized in the year to which it pertains to.

IV. On account of transition to Ind AS, there is no material adjustment to the Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended 31st March 2016Notes to the reconciliation:1 Under previous GAAP, interest free borrowing were measured at transaction value. Under Ind

AS, interest free borrowing being financial liability, is required to be initially recognized at fair value. Accordingly, cashflows have been discounted using market rate of interest and differential is accounted as equity component of financial instrument.

2 Under previous GAAP, the company did not have any interest bearing liabilities. Under Ind AS, interest free borrowing has been fair valued and interest expense has been accounted for. The said interest has been capitalised as the company has qualifying assets.

3 Under previous GAAP, prior periods items are recognized in the year in which it is identified. Under Ind AS, prior period items are recognized in the year to which it pertains to.

4 Interest capitalised as per point 2 referred above, has been charged off to the Profit and loss account due to impairment considered on the blocks suspended from active use.

5 Under Ind AS, additional provision created for abandonment cost in respect of company’s share of the abandonment obligation.

6 Under Previous GAAP, deferred tax accounting was done using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Under Ind AS, accounting of deferred taxes is done using the Balance Sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base.

11. The auditors of IBV Brasil Petroleo Ltda. have drawn attention to the fact that the said joint venture has spent significant amounts that are related mainly to exploration and evaluation costs, the recovery of which is subject to the success of all its exploration campaigns. The management of the said joint venture understands that the members of the joint ventures will continue to provide the funds necessary for keeping the Company’s operations and, therefore, the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 were prepared based on the assumption that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern.

Emphasis of Matter

12. Attention is drawn to our observation in our Audit Report of the Holding Company regarding incorporation of details about the Holding Company’s share in assets, liabilities, income and expense in the operations of the joint ventures based on the audited/unaudited statements received from the respective Operators. In these regards, it has been observed that:

• In case of two blocks, no audited statements have been received by the Company. Total assets, liabilities, income and expenses in respect of this blocks, amounts to ` 7004.25 Lakhs, ` 111.78 Lakhs, NIL and NIL respectively.

• In case of one foreign block (EP413), the information relating to the same is provided on the basis of audited financial statements for the year ended 31st December, 2016 and unaudited statement for subsequent 3 months. Total assets, liabilities, income and expenses related to the said block amounts to ̀ 6562.12 lakhs, ̀ 42.76 lakhs, NIL and NIL respectively.

107

• No break up of assets and liabilities is available in respect of one blocks where the Company has invested ` 3,766.02 Lakhs including provision for site restoration cost of ` 100 lakhs.

The Company’s proportionate share in jointly controlled assets, liabilities for which the Company is jointly responsible, Company’s proportionate share of income and expenses for the year, the elements making up the Cash Flow Statement and related disclosures contained in the enclosed financial statements and our observations there;’ on are based on such audit reports and statements from the operators to the extent available with the Company.

13. Attention is drawn to the observation in the Audit Report of Bharat PetroResources JPDA Limited (Standalone) regarding the financial statements indicating that the Company has accumulated losses and negative net worth. The Company has incurred a net loss of ` 86.49 Lakhs during the current year (Previous Year Loss ` 202.43 Lakhs) as at the balance sheet date.

ANNEXURE – A TO INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORTReferred to in Paragraph 14(f) of the Independent Auditors’ Report of even date on the

financial statement as of and for the year ended March 31st, 2017Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of

the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)1. In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements of the

Company as of and for the year ended 31st March 2017, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Bharat PetroResources Limited (“the Holding Company”) and its subsidiary companies which are companies incorporated in India, as of that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls2. The Respective Board of Directors of Holding Company and its subsidiary companies,

which are companies incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors’ Responsibility 3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls

over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.


110

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting6. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed

to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that

(a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

(b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

(c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting7. Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting,

including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion8. In our opinion, the Holding Company and its subsidiary companies, which are

companies incorporated in India, have, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2017, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2017

Company OverviewBharat PetroResources Limited referred to as “BPRL” or “the Group” was incorporated on 17th October, 2006. It is wholly owned subsidiary of Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited which is a Government of India Enterprise listed on Bombay Stock Exchange Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The company is engaged in the business of exploration and production of Hydrocarbons.

1. Statement of Significant Accounting PoliciesBasis for preparation: The Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“Act”) read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015; and the other relevant provisions of the Act and Rules thereunder.

The Financial Statements have been prepared under historical cost convention basis, except for certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

These financial statements are the first financial statements of the Company under Ind AS. The date of transition to Ind AS is 1 April, 2015. Refer note 32 for an explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Company’s financial position and its net profit.

The Company has adopted all the Ind AS and the adoption was carried out in accordance with Ind AS 101 First time adoption of Indian Accounting Standards. The transition was carried out from generally accepted accounting principles in India (Indian GAAP) as prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (IGAAP), which was the previous GAAP.

The Company’s presentation and functional currency is Indian Rupees . All figures appearing in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest lakhs, except where otherwise indicated.

Authorisation of Financial Statements: The Financial Statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors in its meeting held on 19th May 2017.

1.1. Use of Judgement and EstimatesThe preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities and the accompanying disclosures along with contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require material adjustments to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. The Company continually evaluates these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Assumptions and estimation uncertaintiesInformation about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in the year ending 31 March 2017 is included in the following notes:


117

- Note 4 – impairment test of non financial assets: key assumptions for underlying recoverable amounts

- Note 18 – recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies: key assumptions about the likelihood and magnitude of an outflow resources

- Note 25 – recognition of deferred tax assets: availability of future taxable profits against which tax losses carried forward can be used

Judgements

Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as below:

• Assessment of functional currency;

• Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets;• Assessment whether the company has interest in joint arrangement• Estimation of oil and natural gas reserves

- The determination of the group’s estimated oil and natural gas reserves requires significant judgements and estimates to be applied and these are regularly reviewed and updated. Factors such as the availability of geological and engineering data, reservoir performance data, acquisition and divestment activity, drilling of new wells, and commodity prices all impact on the determination of the group’s estimates of its oil and natural gas reserves. The group bases its proved reserves estimates on the requirement of reasonable certainty with rigorous technical and commercial assessments based on conventional industry practice and regulatory requirements.

- Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are used to calculate depreciation, depletion and amortization charges for the group’s oil and gas properties. The impact of changes in estimated proved reserves is dealt with prospectively by amortizing the remaining carrying value of the asset over the expected future production. Oil and natural gas reserves also have a direct impact on the assessment of the recoverability of asset carrying values reported in the financial statements. If proved reserves estimates are revised downwards, retained earnings could be affected by changes in depreciation expense or an immediate write-down of the property’s carrying value.

1.2. Principles of Consolidation:

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) that are controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company is exposed to, or has the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity. In assessing control, potential voting rights are considered only if the rights are substantive. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in these consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. For the purpose of preparing these consolidated financial statements, the accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Company.

Upon loss of control, the Company derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognized in the consolidated income statement. If the Company retains any interest in the previous


118

subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently, it is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or as an available-for-sale financial asset, depending on the level of influence retained.

Associates and joint arrangements (equity accounted investees)

Associates are those entities over which the Company has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the entities but is not control or joint control of those policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Company holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity.

Joint arrangements are those arrangements over which the Company has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions. Investments in associates and jointly controlled entities are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees) and are initially recognized at cost. The carrying value of the Company’s investment includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses. The Company does not consolidate entities where the non-controlling interest (“NCI”) holders have certain significant participating rights that provide for effective involvement in significant decisions in the ordinary course of business of such entities. Investments in such entities are accounted by the equity method of accounting. When the Company’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-term investments) is reduced to zero and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Company has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.

For the purpose of preparing these consolidated financial statements, the accounting policies of associates/joint ventures have been changed where necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Company.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in full while preparing these consolidated financial statements. Unrealized gains or losses arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Company’s interest in the investee.

1.3. Property, plant and equipment

1.3.1. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

1.3.2. The initial cost of an asset comprises its purchase price or construction cost (including import duties and non-refundable taxes), any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset into the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, the initial estimate of any decommissioning obligation, if any, and, borrowing cost for qualifying assets (i.e. assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use).

1.3.3. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.


119

1.3.4. Spare parts which meet the definition of Property, Plant and Equipment are capitalized as Property, Plant and Equipment in case the unit value of the spare part is above the threshold limit. In other cases, the spare part are inventorised on procurement and charged to Statement of Profit and Loss on consumption.

1.3.5. An item of Property, Plant and Equipment and any significant part initially recognised separately as part of Property, Plant and Equipment is derecognised upon disposal; or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset is included in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.

1.3.6. The residual values and useful lives of Property, Plant and Equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and changes, if any, are accounted in the line with revisions to accounting estimates.

1.3.7. On date of transition to Ind AS i.e 1st April 2015, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of the Property, Plant and Equipment existing as per previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost.

1.4. Depreciation

Depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipment are provided on the straight line basis, over the estimated useful lives of assets (after retaining the estimated residual value of upto 5%). These useful lives determined are in line with the useful lives as prescribed in the Schedule II of the Act, except in following cases:

1.4.1. Items of Property, Plant and Equipment costing not more than the threshold limit are depreciated at 100 percent in the year of acquisition.

1.4.2. Computer equipments are depreciated over a period of 4 years. Mobile phones are depreciated over a period of 3 years. Furniture, other than computer equipment and mobile phones, provided at the residence of management staff are depreciated over a period of 6 years as per internal assessment. The useful lives are estimated based on the HR policy for replacement/renewal of entitlements.

1.4.3. Workstations are depreciated over a period of 5 years. The useful lives are estimated based on the internal assessment.

Depreciation is charged on additions/deletions on pro-rata monthly basis including the month of addition/deletion.

1.5. Intangible Assets

1.5.1. Intangible assets are carried at cost net of accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Internally generated intangibles, excluding development costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. Development costs are capitalised if, and only if, technical and commercial feasibility of the project is demonstrated, future economic benefits are probable, the Company has an intention and ability to complete and use or sell the asset and the costs can be measured reliably.

1.5.2. Expenditure incurred for creating/acquiring other intangible assets above threshold limit from which future economic benefits will flow over a period of time, is amortised over the estimated useful life of the asset or five years, whichever is lower, on a straight line basis, from the time the intangible asset starts providing the economic benefit. In other cases, the expenditure is reflected in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year


120

in which the expenditure is incurred. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite life are reviewed at each year end. The amortisation expense on intangible asset with finite useful lives and impairment loss in case there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired, is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.5.3. On transition to Ind AS i.e 1st April 2015, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of the intangible assets as per previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost.

1.6. Oil and natural gas producing activities

1.6.1. The company follows the accounting policy as explained below for its oil and natural gas exploration and production activities.i. Acquisition costs such as costs incurred to purchase, lease or otherwise acquired a

property or mineral right proved or unproved are capitalised. Any pre-acquisition costs are expensed as and when incurred.

ii. All costs which are directly attributable to the exploration and evaluation activities of oil and gas are capitalised. General and administrative costs are included in the exploration and evaluation costs only to the extent that those costs can be directly attributable to the related exploration and evaluation assets. In all other cases, these costs are expensed as incurred.

iii. The Company classifies the acquisition costs, exploration and evaluation assets as tangible asset or intangible asset according to nature of assets acquired.

iv. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting oil and gas is determinable, exploration and evaluation assets are classified as capital work in progress or intangible assets under development. Exploration and evaluation asset is assessed for impairment, and impairment loss if any, is recognized, before such reclassification. Subsequent development costs are capitalised as and when incurred.

v. When a block or cost centre is ready to commence commercial production, the capitalised costs referred above are reclassified as intangible assets. The cost centre is not normally smaller than a country except where warranted by major difference in economic, fiscal or other factors in the country.

vi. When the block or cost centre are relinquished, accumulated cost is charged off as an expense in the said year.

vii. Depletion charge is calculated on the capitalised cost according to the unit of production method. The depreciation charge or the unit of production (UOP) charge for all costs within a cost centre is calculated by multiplying the UOP rate with the production for the period. The UOP rate for computing depreciation charge for the acquisition cost within a field is arrived at by dividing the acquisition cost of the field by the Proved Oil and Gas Reserves and for all capitalised cost excluding acquisition cost by dividing the depreciation base of the cost centre by the Proved Developed Oil and Gas Reserves. The depreciation base of a cost centre includes gross block of the cost centre, estimated future development expenditure and estimated site restoration expenditure and is reduced by the accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment charge of the cost centre. The estimates of proved reserves used are based on the latest technical assessment available with the Company.


121

viii. The Company recognizes the obligations for removal and restoration that are incurred during a particular period as a consequence of having undertaken the exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources. The Company capitalises as part of property, plant and equipment or intangible asset, as the case may be, the amount of provision required to be created for subsequent abandonment. The provision for estimated abandonment costs is made at current prices considering the environment and social obligations, terms of mining lease agreement, industry practice, etc. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of the provision is the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The discount rate (or rates) is pre-tax rate (or rates) that reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Where there is uncertainty of timing on incurrence of the expenditure, time value of money is not considered while providing for the obligations. Changes in the measurement of existing abandonment costs that result from changes in the estimated timing or amount of the outflow of resources embodying economic benefits required to settle the obligation or a change in the discount rate is added to, or deducted from the related field in the current period and is considered for necessary depletion (depreciation) prospectively. The change in the estimated provision due to the periodic unwinding of the discount is recognized in statement of profit and loss as it occurs.

ix. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. Impairment test is performed in accordance with the procedures given below for impairment of non-financial assets. Impairment loss, if any is recognized as an expense.

x. The Company allocates exploration and evaluation assets to cash generating units or group of cash generating units for the purpose of assessing such assets for impairment.

1.7. Borrowing costs

1.7.1. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs also include exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.

1.7.2. Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets (i.e. an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use) are capitalized as a part of the cost of such assets. All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.8. Leases

1.8.1. Operating Lease

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss with reference to lease terms and other relevant considerations. Lease incentives received / lease premium paid (if any) are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease. Payments made under Operating Leases are generally recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, unless such payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation.


122

1.9. Impairment of Non-financial Assets

1.9.1. Non-financial assets other than, deferred tax assets and non-current assets classified as held for sale are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s or Cash-Generating Units (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.

1.9.2. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

1.10. Revenue Recognition

1.10.1. Sale of goods

1.10.2. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be measured reliably, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government.

1.10.3. Income from sale of crude oil and gas produced from wells until start of commercial production is adjusted against the cost of such wells.

1.10.4. Income from sale of crude oil and gas is recognized net of applicable CST/VAT, as applicable when it can be reliably measured and it is reasonable to expect ultimate collection. Any retrospective revision in prices of crude oil and gas is accounted for in the year of such revision.

1.10.5. Revenue in respect of interest on delayed realizations from customers, if any, is recognized when it can be reliably measured and it is reasonable to expect ultimate collection.

1.10.6. Interest income is recognised using effective interest rate (EIR) method.

1.10.7. Dividend is recognised when right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.

1.10.8. Liquidated Damages for delay in execution of contracts/supplies are accounted for as per the terms of the contracts and are recognized as income in the year of deduction.

1.11. Classification of Income / Expenses

1.11.1. Income / expenditure in aggregate pertaining to prior year(s) above the threshold limit are corrected retrospectively in the first set of financial statements approved for issue after their discovery by restating the comparative amounts and / or restating the opening Balance Sheet for the earliest prior period presented.

1.11.2. Prepaid expenses upto threshold limit in each case, are charged to revenue as and when incurred.


123

1.11.3. Liabilities for expenses are provided for only if the amount exceeds the threshold limit in each case.

1.11.4. Deposits placed with Government agencies/ local authorities which are perpetual in nature are charged to revenue in the year of payment.

1.12. Employee Benefits

1.12.1. Short-term employee benefit

Short term employee benefits are recognized as an expense at an undiscounted amount in the Statement of Profit and Loss of the year in which the related services are rendered.

1.12.2. Post-employment benefits

Liability towards post retirement benefits and other long term benefits in respect of staff deputed from BPCL is provided based on the debit notes from BPCL. In respect of BPRL cadre, liability is provided based on the employer’s contribution towards Provident Fund, Gratuity, etc. as per respective schemes.

Defined contribution scheme:

Obligations for contribution to defined contribution plans such as Provident Fund, etc. are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss as the related services are provided.

Defined benefits scheme:

Obligations for contribution to defined benefits plans such as Gratuity, etc. are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss as the related services are provided.

1.12.3. Other long-term employee benefits

Liability towards long term employee benefits in respect of staff deputed from BPCL is provided based on the debit notes from BPCL. In respect of BPRL cadre, liability is provided based on the employer’s contribution towards leave encashment etc. as per respective schemes.

1.13. Foreign Currency Transactions

1.13.1. Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is company’s functional and presentation currency.

1.13.2. Transactions and balances

Monetary items:

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at their respective exchange rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.


124

Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.

Non – Monetary items:

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

1.13.3. Group companies

The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet

Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and

All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

1.14. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Capital Commitments

1.14.1. Provisions are recognized when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

1.14.2. The expenses relating to a provision is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss net of reimbursements, if any.

1.14.3. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

1.14.4. Contingent liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will only be confirmed by future events not wholly within the control of the Company, or present obligations where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

1.14.5. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of economic resources is considered remote.


125

1.14.6. Contingent liabilities and Capital Commitments disclosed are in respect of items which in each case are above the threshold limit

1.15. Fair Value measurement

1.15.1. The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date.

1.15.2. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Company has access at that date. The fair value of a liability also reflects its non-performance risk.

1.15.3. The Company regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If the third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the Company assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that these valuations meet the requirements of Ind AS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified.

1.15.4. While measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:

- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)

- Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

1.15.5. Certain accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non- financial assets and liabilities.

1.15.6. When quoted price in active market for an instrument is available, the Company measures the fair value of the instrument using that price. A market is regarded as active if transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

1.15.7. If there is no quoted prices in an active market, then the Company uses a valuation techniques that maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction.

1.15.8. The best estimate of the fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is normally the transaction price – i.e. the fair value of the consideration given or received. If the Company determines that the fair value on initial recognition differs from the transaction price and the fair value is evidenced neither by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability nor based on a valuation technique for which any unobservable inputs are judged to be insignificant in relation to the measurement, then the financial instrument is


126

initially measured at fair value, adjusted to defer the difference between the fair value on initial recognition and the transaction price. Subsequently that difference is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on an appropriate basis over the life of the instrument but no later than when the valuation is wholly supported by observable market data or the transaction is closed out.

1.16. Financial Assets

1.16.1. Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement Subsequent measurement is determined with reference to the classification of

the respective financial assets. Based on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset, the Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit and loss.

Debt instruments at amortised cost A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following

conditions are met: The asset is held within a business model whose objective is

- To hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and - Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that

are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Debt instruments at Fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)

A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the fair value through other comprehensive income if both the following conditions are met:

The asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both - collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets - Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that

are SPPI on the principal amount outstanding. After initial measurement, these assets are subsequently measured at fair value.

Interest income under effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and


127

losses and impairment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive Income.

Debt instruments at Fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) Fair value through profit and loss is a residual category for debt instruments.

Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorisation as at amortised cost or as FVOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.

After initial measurement, any fair value changes including any interest income, foreign exchange gain and losses, impairment loss and other net gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.16.2. Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company’s Balance Sheet) when,

The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or

The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either:

- The Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or

- The Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

On de-recognition, any gains or losses on all debt instruments and equity instruments (measured at FVTPL) are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Gains and losses in respect of debt instruments measured at FVOCI and that are accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit and loss. Gains or losses on equity instruments measured at FVOCI are recognised and that are accumulated in OCI and are not reclassified to profit and loss.

1.16.3. Impairment of financial assets In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss

(“ECL”) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets measured at amortised cost.

In respect of financial assets measured at amortised cost, the loss allowance is measured at ECL for financial assets with low credit risk at the reporting date and there is a significant deterioration in the credit risk since initial recognition of the asset.

1.17. Financial Liabilities

1.17.1. Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

All financial liabilities other than those measured subsequently at fair value through profit and loss are recognised initially at fair value net of transaction costs that are attributable to the respective liabilities.


128

1.17.2. Subsequent measurement

Subsequent measurement is determined with reference to the classification of the respective financial liabilities. The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.

Financial Liabilities at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)

A financial liability is classified as at fair value through profit and loss if it is classified as held-for-trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and changes therein, including any interest expense, are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.

Financial Liabilities measured at amortised cost

After initial recognition, financial liabilities other than those which are classified as fair value through profit and loss are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method (“EIR”).

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.17.3. Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

1.17.4. Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.18. Financial guarantees

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of the debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the fair value initially recognised less cumulative amortisation.


129

1.19. Offsetting of financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet, if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

1.20. Taxes on Income

1.20.1. Current Tax Income-tax Assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be

recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, by the end of reporting period.

Current Tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in the Statement of Profit and Loss, other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

1.20.2. Deferred tax Deferred tax is provided using the Balance Sheet method on temporary

differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred Tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in the Statement of Profit and Loss, other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

1.21. Joint operationsThe Company has Joint arrangement in the nature of Production Sharing Contracts (PSC) with the Government of respective countries and/or various bodies corporate for exploration, development and production activities.


130

The income, expenditure, assets and liabilities of the Joint operations are merged on line by line basis according to the participating interest with the similar items in the financial statements of the Company.

1.22. Earnings per share

1.22.1. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends, if any, and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.

1.22.2. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effect of all dilutive potential equity shares.

1.23. Classification of Assets and Liabilities as Current and Non-Current:All assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle (determined at 12 months) and other criteria set out in Schedule III of the Act

1.24. Cash and Cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank, cash, cheque and draft on hand. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.

1.25. Cash FlowsCash flows are reported using the indirect method, where by net profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities are segregated.

The company offsets tax assets and liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority.Significant management judgement is required in determining provision for income tax, deferred income tax assets and liabilities and recoverability of deferred income tax assets. The recoverability of deferred income tax assets is based on estimates of taxable income and the period over which deferred income tax assets will be recovered. Any changes in future taxable income would impact the recoverability of deferred tax assets.As at 31 March 2017, undistributed earning of subsidiaries and joint ventures amounted to ̀ 9,764.82 lakhs (March 31 2016: ` Nil. April 1 2015: Nil). The corresponding deferred tax liability of ` 1,474 lakhs. (March 31 2016: ` Nil; April 1 2015: Nil) was not recognised because the Company controls the dividend policy of its subsidiaries and is able to veto the payment of dividends of its joint ventures - i.e. the Company controls the timing of reversal of the related taxable temporary differences and management is satisfied that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Tax losses carried forwardDeferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of the following items, because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group can use the benefits therefrom:

C. Financial risk management

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

▪ Credit risk ;

▪ Liquidity risk ; and

▪ Market risk

i. Risk management framework

The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Board of Directors has established the Risk Management Committee (the Committee), which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management policies.

The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the company’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit.

ii. Credit riskCredit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s cash and bank deposits kept with banks, receivables from joint operators and loan to subsidiary. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of counter party.

The maximum exposure to credit risk in case of all the financial instuments covered below is resticted to their respective carrying amount.

The Group does not have significant credit risk on account of receivables from customers

Cash and bank depositThe Group held cash and bank balance with banks with good credit ratings.

Other receivablesThe credit worthiness of receivables from others is evaluated by the management on an ongoing basis and is considered to be good.

The Group does not have financial assets that are past due but not impaired.

Notes Forming Part of Financial StatementsNote 29 Financial instruments – Fair values and risk management (continued)iii. Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group has access to funds from banks for long term borrowings, bonds issued in capital market and loan from holding Group. The Group also constantly monitors funding options available in the debt and capital markets with a view to maintaining financial flexibility.

Exposure to liquidity riskThe table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for all non derivative financial liabilities. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include contractual interest payments.

Notes Forming Part of Financial StatementsNote 29 Financial instruments – Fair values and risk management (continued)iv. Market riskMarket risk is the risk that changes in market prices – such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables and long term debt. We are exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk. Thus, our exposure to market risk is a function of revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currency. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure in our foreign currency revenues and costs.Currency riskThe Group is exposed to currency risk on account of its operating and financing activities. The functional currency of the Group is Indian Rupee. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future. The Group has not taken derivative instruments to hedge the foreign currency risk and strives to achieve asset liability offset of foreign currency exposure. Also, the Group continuously monitors the fluctuation in currency risk and ensures that the company does not have adverse impact on account of fluctuation in exchange rates.Exposure to currency riskThe currency profile of financial assets and financial liabilities as at March 31, 2017, March 31, 2016 and April 1, 2015 are as below:

Interest rate riskInterest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing instruments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing instruments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.

Exposure to interest rate riskGroup’s interest rate risk arises from borrowings. The interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments as reported to the management of the Group is as follows.

Interest rate sensitivity - fixed rate instrumentsThe Group’s fixed rate deposits with banks and bonds issued in capital markets are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in IND AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flow will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.

Notes Forming Part of Financial StatementsInterest rate sensitivity - variable rate instrumentsA reasonably possible change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased / decreased profit or loss by amounts shown below. This analyses assumes that all other variables, in particular, foreign currency exchange rates, remain constant. This calculation also assumes that the change occurs at the balance sheet date and has been calculated based on risk exposures outstanding as at that date. The period end balances are not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the period.

Commodity RiskThe company has entered into production stage in the current year and therefore has insignificant exposure to market risk with respect to commodity prices primarily arising from the Company’s sale of the crude oil. The prices may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for this commodity. The prices of the Company’s commodity generally fluctuate in line with global market conditions. Commodity price risk exposure is evaluated and managed through operating procedures and policies. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had not entered into any material derivative contracts to hedge exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices

Note 30 Capital ManagementThe Group’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base to sustain future development of the business. The Group manages fund requirements through combination of equity and debts.

Notes Forming Part of Financial StatementsNote 32 Ind AS 101I. First-time adoption of Ind AS These are the Group’s first financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS. The accounting policies set out in Note 1 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the

year ended 31 March 2017, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016 and in the presentation of an opening Ind AS balance sheet at 1 April 2015 (the Company’s date of transition). In preparing its opening Ind AS balance sheet, the Group has adjusted the amount reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting standards notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and other relevant provisions of the Act (previous GAAP or Indian GAAP). An explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the company’s financial position and financial performance is set out in the following tables and notes.

II. Exemptions from retrospective application Ind AS 101 allows first-time adopters certain exemptions from the retrospective application of certain

requirements under Ind AS. The Group has applied the following exemptions:a) Deemed cost for Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) and Intangible assets Ind AS 101 permits a first time adopter to continue with the carrying value for all its property, plant and

equipment and intangible assets as recognised in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition.

Accordingly, the Group has elected to measure all of its PPE and intangible asset at their previous GAAP carrying values.

b) Deemed cost for exploration and evaluation assets Ind AS 101 permits a first time adopter to measure oil and gas assets at the date of transition to Ind AS on the

following basis: (a) exploration and evaluation assets at the amount determined under the entity’s previous GAAP; and (b) assets in the development or production phases at the amount determined for the cost centre under the

entity’s previous GAAP. The entity shall allocate this amount to the cost centre’s underlying assets pro rata using reserve volumes or reserve values as of that date.

Accordingly, the Group has elected to measure all of its exploration and evaluation assets at their previous GAAP carrying values.

c) Business combination Ind AS 101 provide the option to apply Ind AS 103 prospectively from the transition date or from a specific

date prior to the transition date. This provides relief from full retrospective application that would require restatement of all business combinations prior to the transition date.

The Group elected to apply Ind AS 103 prospectively to business combinations occuring after its transition date. Business combinations occurring prior to the transition date have not been restated.

d) Joint ventures - transition from proportionate consolidation to the equity method As per Ind AS 101, when changing from proportionate consolidation to the equity method, an entity may

measure its investment in a joint venture at date of transition as the aggregate of the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities that the entity had previously proportionately consolidated, including any goodwill arising from acquisition.

The resultant amount is regarded as the deemed cost of the investment in the joint venture at the initial recognition. The group has opted to avail this exemption.

The remaining voluntary exemptions as per Ind AS 101 - First time adoption either do not apply or are not relevant to the Group

III. Exceptions from full retrospective application:a) Estimates Upon an assessment of the estimates made under Indian GAAP, the Group has concluded that there was no

necessity to revise such estimates under Ind AS, except where estimates were required by Ind AS and not required by Indian GAAP.

The Group made estimate for following items in accrodance with Ind AS at the date of transition as these were not required under previous GAAP:

• Loan to equity accounted investee, joint venture carried at FVTPL. The remaining mandatory exceptions either do not apply or are not relevant to the Group.

Notes Forming Part of Financial StatementsNote 32 Ind AS 101Transition to Ind AS:For the purposes of reporting as set out in Note 1, we have transitioned our basis of accounting from Indian generally accepted accounting principles (“IGAAP”) to Ind AS. The accounting policies set out in note 1 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016 and in the preparation of an opening Ind AS balance sheet at 1 April 2015 (the “transition date”).In preparing our opening Ind AS balance sheet, we have adjusted amounts reported in financial statements prepared in accordance with IGAAP. An explanation of how the transition from IGAAP to Ind AS has affected our financial performance, cash flows and financial position is set out in the following tables and the notes that accompany the tables. On transition, we did not revise estimates previously made under IGAAP except where required by Ind AS.

Notes to the reconciliation:1 Under previous GAAP, interest free borrowing were measured at transaction value. Under Ind AS, interest free borrowing

being financial liability, is required to be initially recognized at fair value. Accordingly, cashflows have been discounted using market rate of interest and differential is acocunted as equity component of financial instrument.

2 Under previous GAAP, the company did not have any interest bearing liabilities. Under Ind AS, interest free borrowing has been fair valued and interest expense has been accounted for. The said interest has been capitalised as the company has qualifying assets. Also interest cost capitalisation has been realigned at consolidated financial statement level.

3 Under previous GAAP, prior period items are recognized in the year in which it is identified. Under Ind AS, prior period items are recognized in the year to which it pertains to.

4 Interest capitalised as per point 2 referred above, has been charged off to the Profit and loss account due to impairment considered on the blocks suspended from active use

5 Under Ind AS, the loan given to IBV Brazil has been measured at fair value through profit and loss due to the presence of conversion option. Under previous GAAP, the same was accounted at face value.

6 Under Previous GAAP, deferred tax accounting was done using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Under Ind AS, accounting of deferred taxes is done using the Balance Sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base.
