 2.  DIVIDEND:
 
 In view of inadequacy of profit, the Board does not recommend payment

 3.  RETROSPECTIVE AND PROSPECTIVE REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:
 
 Upon completion of the takeover activities, the new management pursued
 and obtained the Mining Lease for Modhera oil field (located in the
 Cambay Basin in close proximity to Baola field). In addition, for
 Modhera, the Company took over the management of the field in February
 2009 (the Production Sharing Contract for Modhera had been previously
 signed by the Company in the year 2001).
 
 The 3D seismic data acquisitions of Baola and Modhera were conducted as
 planned and were completed during the year. Data processing for both
 fields were also completed but interpretation work could only be
 finalized for Baola during the year under review. The interpretation
 work for Modhera was still in progress as at the end of the year.
 
 The seismic interpretation results for Baola have provided the Company
 with a few leads for drilling of a proposed well. The Company, after
 extensive technical analysis, has selected the best technically
 acceptable geological location for drilling an exploratory cum
 development well. The well is scheduled to be spud in the second
 quarter of the 2010-11 financial year. In addition, your Company is
 also planning to drill a well in Modhera during the third or the fourth
 quarter of the 2010-2011 financial year, if the seismic prognosis
 results in credible drilling leads.
 
 It is hoped that the production of oil/gas from the Baola field and
 oil/gas from Modhera field (contingent on the outcome of a drilling
 phase) is expected to commence from the financial year 2010-11 and
 2011-12 respectively.
 
 On the international front, the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary,
 Interlink Petroleum Pte.  Limited (incorporated in Singapore during the
 year 2008-09), has yet to commence operations.
 
 4.  MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:
 
 4.1 Industry Structure and Developments:
 
 The petroleum industry in India remains regulated by the policies of
 the Government of India. The industry, however, faces tough challenges
 from the environmental policies being implemented in the country which
 are getting stricter with each passing day. This is impacting the 
 industry, resulting in delays in project implementation as well as 
 adding to finding and developing costs. Further, the recent apex 
 court pronouncement on the ownership of gas and its pricing guidelines
 relating to gas related transactions has also changed the industry 
 landscape.
 
 4.2 Opportunities and Challenges:
 
 The price of oil appears to be maintaining a level of approximately
 US - US per barrel. This has catalyzed the industry and
 exploration and development activities are on the uptrend. This current
 oil price level is expected to remain in the medium term. The rise in
 oil prices may result in an escalation in service costs to its
 pre-downturn levels.
 
 In contrast, the natural gas prices that had plunged along with oil
 prices have not rebounded to their pre-downturn levels and are still
 posing some challenges to the gas producers.  Natural gas, remains a
 largely a regional product and continues to be monopolized by the
 suppliers or consumers or transporters.
 
 4.3 Operations and Performance:
 
 Overall Review:
 
 The Company seized a partial advantage of the economic downturn in late
 2008 and carried out its operations, mainly the 3D seismic acquisition,
 processing and interpretation at moderate costs. We also achieved our
 objective of completing the program on schedule, enabling us to plan
 for a drilling program to commence by mid 2010.
 
 In this area the Company will continue to seek opportunities to obtain
 competitive pricing for services.
 
 Quality, Health, Safety & Environment:
 
 Your Company is committed to protect the health, safety and environment
 in all aspects of its work. The Company therefore places high emphasis
 on compliance to its HSE policy by all the stake holders, the
 employees, contractors and associates.
 
 4.4 Future Outlook:
 
 Threats :
 
 As is the case with any oil and gas exploration and production player,
 the Company’s overall performance is impacted by oil / gas price and
 finding, development and operational costs.  The size of the Company’s
 future revenue will rely on successful development of the fields being
 held and will also depend on oil and gas prices prevailing in the
 international market. To try to mitigate fluctuations in the Company’s
 performance with oil price fluctuations, the Company may resort to
 processes such as hedging. Such measures will be suitably undertaken at
 the appropriate time. In the meanwhile, the gas price continues to
 remain a challenge for the Company as the estimated gas accumulations
 in its fields requires a reasonable price support for it to be
 economically produced.
 
 Efforts are being made by the Company to secure such gas prices from
 its present and prospective consumers.
 
 4.5 Internal Control Systems and Risk Management:
 
 The Company is already practicing an adequate Internal Control System
 in respect of efficiency of operation, financial reporting, compliance
 with laws and applications etc., which is supplemented by Internal
 Audit conducted regularly to review the adequacy and effectiveness of
 Internal Control and to suggest improvement. The Audit Committee
 regularly reviews the significant observations of the Audit and also
 meets the Companys Statutory Auditors to obtain their observations on
 Financial Reports and Controls.
 
 4.6 Financials:
 
 A brief of the financial analysis of the Companys operations for the
 year is given herein above and therefore the same is not repeated.
 
 4.7 Cautionary Statement :

 Forward-looking statements. within the meaning of applicable
