Independent Auditors’ Report on review of condensed interim financial informationIndependent Auditors’ Report on review of condensed interim financial informationIndependent Auditors’ Report on review of condensed interim financial informationIndependent Auditors’ Report on review of condensed interim financial information
To the Board of Directors of
Great Eastern Energy Corporation Limited
IntroductionIntroductionIntroductionIntroduction
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheet of Great Eastern Energy Corporation Limited as of
September 30, 2015 and the related condensed statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for the
six-month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes
(collectively the “condensed interim financial statements”). Management is responsible for the preparation and
fair presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with the International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRSs) as issued by International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’). Our responsibility is to
express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
Scope of ReviewScope of ReviewScope of ReviewScope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of
Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity.” A review of interim financial
information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters,
and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to
obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit.
Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
ConclusionConclusionConclusionConclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”.

Notes to condensed interim financial statements
1. Organisation and nature of operations
Great Eastern Energy Corporation Limited ('GEECL' or 'the Company') is a public limited company incorporated in India.
GEECL's shares were listed as Global Depository Receipts in the Alternate Investment Market, London, upto 27 May 2010.
The Company made a publication of its prospectus in relation to the introduction of its Global Depositary Receipts ('GDRs') to
the standard list on the official list of the UK Listing Authority (the 'Official List') and admission to trading on the London
Stock Exchange Plc's Main Market for listed securities (the 'Main Market'). Pursuant to the admission of its GDRs to the
standard list on the official list and commencement of trading in the GDRs on the main market on 28 May 2010, trading of the
Company's GDRs on AIM has been cancelled.
The Company was incorporated in 1992 to explore, develop, distribute and market Coal Bed Methane gas or CBM gas in India.
GEECL originally entered into a license agreement in December 1993 with Coal India Limited (CIL) for exploration and
development of CBM over an area of approximately 210 Sq. km (approximately 52,000 acres) in the state of West Bengal (the
block).
The Production Sharing Contract (PSC) has been effective from 9 November 2001 as a result of the granting by Government of
West Bengal of the Petroleum Exploration License on the same date and provides for a five year initial assessment and market
development phase, followed by a five year development phase and then a twenty-five year production phase, extendable with
the approval of the Government of India (GOI). Besides this, the Company was awarded with Mannargudi block located in
Tamil Nadu under CBM IV round for which the PSC was signed with the Government of India on 29 July 2010. In this regard,
two Petroleum Exploration License (PEL) has been granted to the Company on 13 September 2011 and 4 November 2013. The
Environmental Clearance for the block was granted by the Ministry of Environment & Forest, Government of India on 12
September 2012 and the Company has applied Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board for the their sanction to start operations in
the block which is awaited.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that
is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
