INDEX OIL & GAS LIMITED
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES




Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial period, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to:
 
·  
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
 
·  
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
 
·  
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
 
·  
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company and the group will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping proper records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The directors are responsible for ensuring that the directors' report is prepared in accordance with company law in the United Kingdom.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
INDEX OIL & GAS LIMITED



We have audited the financial statements of Index Oil & Gas Limited for the period 21 February 2003 to 31 March 2004, which comprise the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, the Consolidated and Company Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Statement of Total Recognised Gains and Losses, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and the related notes. These financial statements have been prepared under the accounting policies set out therein.

This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Section 235 of the Companies Act 1985. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company’s members as a body for our audit work, for this report or for the opinions we have formed.

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors

The directors’ responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards are set out in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities.

Our responsibility is to audit the financial statements in accordance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements and United Kingdom Auditing Standards.

We report to you our opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view and are properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985. We also report to you if, in our opinion, the Directors’ Report is not consistent with the financial statements, if the group has not kept proper accounting records, if we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit, or if information specified by law regarding directors’ remuneration and transactions with the group is not disclosed.

We read the other information accompanying the financial statements and consider whether it is consistent with the statements. We consider the implications for our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial statements.

Basis of audit opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with United Kingdom Auditing Standards issued by the Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the group's circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.

We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements.

Going concern

In forming our opinion, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures made in note 1(a) of the financial statements concerning the group’s current funding requirements. As indicated in the note, the preparation of the financial statements on the going concern basis is dependent upon sufficient additional funds being raised. In view of the significance of this uncertainty, we consider that these disclosures should be brought to your attention, but our opinion is not qualified in this respect.

Opinion

In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group as at 31 March 2004 and of the group’s loss for the period then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2004
 
 
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
 
      (a)          
  Going concern 
 
The group is in an early stage of development. It has limited cash resources, it does not currently generate any significant revenues and its success will depend largely upon the outcome of its future exploration and development programmes in the US. The Company has entered into an Option Agreement to enter into such a programme and the Directors are currently actively working to raise the additional funding, in the form of convertible debt which will convert to equity, required to proceed with this and cover ongoing operating costs. They believe that they will be successful and they have also received written confirmations of continuing financial support from existing shareholders to meet current financial obligations. However, the fundraising process is currently ongoing and therefore there can be no certainty in this regard.

The directors believe they have considered all relevant information and have concluded that it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements on the going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be required if the additional funds are not available or if additional programmes under the Option Agreement are not secured.
 
      (b)          
  Basis of preparation 
 
    The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable UK accounting standards.
 
The financial statements fall within the scope of the Statement of Recommended Practice (“SORP”), “Accounting for Oil and Gas Exploration, Development, Production and Decommissioning Activities”, issued by the Oil Industry Accounting Committee. The financial statements, including disclosures, have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the SORP currently in effect.

      (c)         
  Basis of consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary made up to 31 March 2004. The acquisition method of accounting has been adopted, such that the results of the subsidiary undertaking established during the year are included in the consolidated profit and loss account from the date of acquisition.
 
The Group’s exploration, development and production activities are conducted jointly with other companies. Since these arrangements do not constitute entities in their own right, the financial statements reflect the relevant proportion of costs, revenues, assets and liabilities applicable to the Group’s interests.
 
 
      (d)          
  Turnover
 
Turnover is recognised on an entitlement basis and represents the sales value, net of Royalty Interests, of the Group’s share of oil and gas revenue in the year.
 
      (e)          
  Oil and gas interests
 
Oil and gas projects
The Group has adopted the full costs accounting policy for expenditure on oil and gas projects. As a result, all costs are accumulated in cost pools and are then written off to the extent that they are not supported by underlying oil and gas reserves, unless the expenditure relates to an area where it is too early to make such a decision.

PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2004


 
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
      (e)          
  Oil and gas interests (continued)
 
Production Assets
Impairment and ceiling test
Capitalised expenditure is reviewed each year for possible impairment on a property basis. Any expenditure which is judged to be impaired is included in the relevant depletion calculation. As a test for impairment, the capitalised costs in each cost pool of tangible assets is compared each year with the net present value of future cash flows derived from the assets in the pool. These ceiling test values are calculated on the basis of expected future product prices.

Depreciation, depletion and amortisation
Amortisation of expenditure held in each tangible cost pool is provided using the unit of production method based on entitlement to proved and probable reserves of oil and gas and estimated future development expenditure to be incurred to access these reserves. Changes in reserves are accounted for prospectively.

Decommissioning costs
Provision for decommissioning is recognised in full at the commencement of oil and gas production, or when the assets are acquired, if later. The amount recognised is the present value of the estimated future expenditure. A corresponding tangible fixed asset is also created at an amount equal to the provision. This is subsequently amortised as part of the capital costs of the production facilities, having taken account of any expected salvage value. Any change in the present value of the estimated expenditure is reflected as an adjustment to the fixed asset.
 
Pre-production assets
Expenditure in this category has been included in the balance sheet under intangible assets. Expenditure incurred on pre-production assets is transferred to tangible assets once a decision has been made as to the commercial development of a field or property.
 
      (f)         
  Other tangible fixed assets
 
Other tangible fixed assets are shown at cost. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life, as follows:
 
Computer Equipment          20% straight line
 
     (g)        
  Fixed asset investment

Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less provision for any impairment in value.
 
     (h)        
  Deferred taxation

In accordance with FRS 19 full provision is made at current  rates for taxation deferred in respect of all timing differences. Deferred tax balances are not discounted.

Deferred tax assets are only recognised where they arise from timing differences where their recoverability  in the short term is regarded as more likely than not.
 
     (i)        
  Foreign currency
 
The results of overseas operations are translated at average rates of exchange during the period and the balance sheet is translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences which arise from translation of the opening net assets and results of foreign subsidiary undertakings are taken to reserves. All other exchange differences are taken to the profit and loss account.

No liability to UK corporation tax arose on ordinary activities for the period ending 31 March 2004. At 31 March 2004 the group had losses amounting to approximately £82,000 available for offset against future taxable profits. This represents a deferred tax asset of approximately £24,900, which has not been recognised in these financial statements because there is currently insufficient evidence of recovery in the near future.
