What the board approved
Antelopus Selan Energy's board met on October 26, 2026 from 3:00 P.M. to 4:15 P.M. and approved the unaudited financial results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026. The company operates in a single segment, production of oil and natural gas, so no separate segment reporting applies. The figures below are standalone, stated in Rs. Lakhs.
Auditor's review conclusion
V. Sankar Aiyar & Co., Chartered Accountants, issued a limited review report with an unmodified conclusion — nothing came to their attention that causes them to believe the statement has any material misstatement or fails the listing disclosure requirements. A review gives moderate assurance and is narrower in scope than a full audit.
The one matter the auditor drew attention to
- Note 4 deals with the useful life of the company's Oil and Gas Assets, reassessed after the Oil Fields (Regulation and Amendment) Act, 2025 and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Rules, 2025.
- For the production sharing contracts relating to Bakrol, Lohar and Cambay fields, a further extension of 10 years was considered on a conservative basis.
- This is a change in accounting estimate applied from 1st October, 2025, and it makes the amortisation charge lower by Rs. 1,691 Lakhs for the quarter ended 30th September 2026 and Rs. 2,884 Lakhs for the six months ended 30th September 2026.
Key result lines
- Revenue from Operations: 12,168 for the quarter (13,313 in the preceding quarter ended 30.06.2026, 5,627 in the quarter ended 30.09.2025); 25,481 for the half year.
- Total Income: 12,718 for the quarter; 25,941 for the half year.
- Total Expenses: 5,060 for the quarter; 10,010 for the half year.
- Profit before Tax: 7,658 for the quarter; 14,931 for the half year.
- Net Profit for the period: 5,729 for the quarter; 11,161 for the half year.
- Basic EPS: 16.18 per share for the quarter; 31.63 per share for the half year.
Cash and balance sheet
- Net cash from Operating activities: 16,825 for the half year.
- Purchase of PP&E and intangible assets including CWIP and capital advances: 13,695 for the half year.
- Net cash used in Investing activities: 16,197 for the half year.
- Total assets and total equity and liabilities both stand at 97,836 as at 30.09.2026.
Other decisions and note disclosures
- Employee stock options: 1,25,462 equity shares were allotted during the quarter under the ESOS-2022 scheme. Paid-up equity share capital as on 30th September 2026 is 3,52,67,820 equity shares, and 83,076 Employee Stock Options were outstanding that had not yet completed their vesting period.
- Exceptional item: an impairment provision of ₹ 1,000 Lakhs, recognised in the previous quarter ended 30th June 2026, against Capital Work-in-Progress relating to the Elao Field, pending approval from the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons; an application has been submitted.
- Other Income for the quarter and six months includes ₹ 650 Lakhs towards refund of excess Cess remitted during Financial Years 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23.
- Cambay Field: under a Farm-in-Farm-Out Agreement with Oilex NL Holdings (India) Limited and Synergia Energy Limited for 50% participating interest, the company has capitalised ₹ 3,048 Lakhs as consideration and had paid ₹ 3,521 Lakhs (equivalent to USD 4.5 million) up to 30th September 2026 under a carry arrangement capped at USD 10 million.
New contract areas
- The company received approval from the Government of India for the award of two onshore contract areas under the Discovered Small Field (DSF) Bid Round-IV.
- KG/ONDSF/KG ONLAND/2025 — an onshore field in the Krishna-Godavari (KG) Basin in Andhra Pradesh.
- CB/ONDSF/CAMBAY ONLAND/2025 — an onshore field in the Cambay Basin in Gujarat.
- The Revenue Sharing Contracts have been formally signed and awarded to the company on 22nd October 2026.
Points a retail investor can track
- The company states that the selling price of crude oil is set by prevailing international market rates in US Dollars, so crude prices and the rupee-dollar rate affect profitability.
- The lower amortisation charge is an accounting estimate change; it changes reported profit, while cash generation is shown separately in the cash flow statement.
- Oil and gas assets of 42,909 and capital work in progress of 18,702 make up the bulk of the 73,564 of non-current assets.
