INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

 

To the Shareholders of E nergean Israel Limited

Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Opinion 

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of E nergean Israel Limited and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at 31 December 2021 and 2020, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended , and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years in the period then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.

Basis for opinion

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

 

Key audit matters

 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of the audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming the auditor's opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For the matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report, including in relation to this matter.  Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.

 

Karish / Tanin development project spend

Key audit matter description

Karish / Tanin development costs incurred during the year ended 31 December 2021 and capitalised within Oil and Gas properties (including capitalised borrowing costs): $ 432   million (2020: $ 497   million) Refer to Accounting policies (page 12-27); and Notes 3e, 3t and 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Karish / Tanin development attained Final Investment Decision (FID) in March 2018 and consequently there has been significant project-related expenditure since this date. The main contractor is TechnipFMC through a lump sum EPCIC contract to deliver the FPSO and related subsea infrastructure. We focused on the risks of inappropriate capitalisation of costs in accordance with IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment (IAS 16) and the completeness of project cost accruals recorded as at 31 December 2021.

 

Our response to the risk

We performed audit procedures focused on capitalisation criteria and the completeness of accruals for the key elements of costs incurred for the Karish / Tanin (including Karish North) development.

These procedures included:

• Understanding the criteria used by management to assess whether costs should be capitalised or expensed;

• Verifying that the capitalisation criteria were met for costs that we selected on a sample basis as part of our audit procedures relating to the project costs;

• Reviewing the agreements with the major project contractors, including the agreements with TechnipFMC which accounted for approximately 36% of the development costs incurred in the year, to understand the nature of services to be provided and the associated milestones;

• Obtaining a listing of project cost accruals at 31 December 2021, validating a sample of costs to supporting documents and comparing to the contractual milestones for the development project work;

• Performing a search for unrecorded liabilities through reviewing invoices received and cash payments made after the reporting date. We compared these to the project costs accrued by management and assessed whether there were any material omissions.

 

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.

 

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

 

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

 

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU).

These consolidated financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap.113 and are not intended for statutory filing in Cyprus.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for derivative financial instruments that have been measured at fair value using the significant accounting policies and measurement bases summarised in Note 3.

 

The group has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern,as explained below.

 

b.  The financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand US Dollars except where otherwise indicated.

 

c.  New and amended accounting standards and interpretations:

 

The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

 

New standards and interpretations that are in issue but not yet effective are listed below:

· Annual improvements to IFRS 2018-2020 - 1 January 2022

· Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before intended use (Amendments to IAS 16) - 1 January 2022

· Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37) - 1 January 2022

NOTE 2: -  BASIS OF PREPARATION (Cont.)

 

d.  Basis of consolidation:

 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) as detailed in Note 1 above. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:

 

· Power over the investee

· Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and

· The ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns

 

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group. All intragroup transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

 

e.  Going Concern:

 

The Group carefully manages the risk of a shortage of funds by closely monitoring its funding position and its liquidity risk. The Going Concern assessment covers the period up to 31 March 2023 'the Forecast Period'. Cash forecasts are regularly produced based on, inter alia, the Group's latest life of field production, budgeted expenditure forecasts, price estimates based on signed GSPAs, liquids production and headroom under its debt facilities. In addition, on a regular basis, the Group performs sensitivity tests of its liquidity position to evaluate adverse impacts that may result from changes to the macro economic environment.

 

In March 2021 the Group raised $2.5billion through the issuance of senior secured notes mainly to refinance its $1.45bn Project Finance Facility and to fund capital and exploration expenditure, including Karish and Karish North. The Senior Secured Notes do not have any maintenance covenants, the first principle repayment is not expected before 2024 and the Notes achieved blended fixed rate of 5.2%, removing exposure to floating rates.

First gas remains on track for Q3 2022. 

The Group also identifies risks to liquidity to formulate appropriate and timely mitigation strategies in order to manage the risk of funds shortfalls and to ensure the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

After careful consideration, the Directors are satisfied that the Group has sufficient financial resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, for the Forecast Period to 31 March 2023. As such, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

 NOTE 3: - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

a.  Accounting Policies:

 

The principal accounting policies and measurement bases used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements unless otherwise stated.

 

b.  Functional and presentation currency and foreign currency:

 

1.  Functional and presentation currency:

 

Items included in the financial statements of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates (''the functional currency'').

For each entity, the Group determines the functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

The functional currency of the Company is U.S. Dollars (US$). The U.S. Dollar is the currency that influences future sales prices, revenue estimates and also highly affect its operations.

The presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements is US dollar.

 

2.  Transactions and balances:

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the profit or loss. Such monetary assets and liabilities are translated the functional currency exchange rates at the reporting date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction and are not subsequently remeasured.

 

c.  Intangible assets - Exploration and evaluation expenditures:

 

The Group adopts the successful efforts method of accounting for exploration and evaluation costs. Pre-licence costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. All licence acquisition, exploration and evaluation costs and directly attributable administration costs are initially capitalised as intangible assets by field or exploration area, as appropriate. All such capitalised costs are subject to technical, commercial and management review, as well as review for indicators of impairment at least once a year. This is to confirm the continued intent to develop or otherwise extract value from the discovery. When this is no longer the case, the costs are written off through the statement of comprehensive income (loss). When proved reserves of oil and gas are identified and development is sanctioned by management, the relevant capitalised expenditure is first assessed for impairment and (if required) any impairment loss is recognised, then the remaining balance is transferred to oil and gas properties.

(US Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)

NOTE 3: -  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

d.  Commercial reserves:

 

Commercial reserves are proven and probable oil and gas reserves, which are defined as the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological, geophysical and engineering data demonstrate with a specified degree of certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs and which are considered commercially producible. There should be a 50 per cent statistical probability that the actual quantity of recoverable reserves will be more than the amount estimated as proven and probable reserves and a 50 per cent statistical probability that it will be less.

 

e.  Oil and gas properties - assets in development:

 

Expenditure is transferred from 'Exploration and evaluation assets' to 'Assets in development' which is a subcategory of 'Oil and gas properties' once the work completed to date supports the future development of the asset and such development receives appropriate approvals. After transfer of the exploration and evaluation assets, all subsequent expenditure on the construction, installation or completion of infrastructure facilities such as platforms, pipelines and the drilling of development wells, including unsuccessful development or delineation wells, is capitalised within 'Assets in development'.

 

Any costs incurred in testing the assets to determine whether they are functioning as intended, are capitalised, net of any proceeds received from selling any product produced while testing. Where these proceeds exceed the cost of testing, any excess is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. When a development project moves into the production stage, all assets included in 'Assets in development' are then transferred to 'Producing assets' which is also a sub-category of 'Oil and gas properties. The capitalisation of certain construction/development costs ceases, and costs are either regarded as part of the cost of inventory or expensed, except for costs which qualify for capitalisation relating to 'Oil and gas properties' asset additions, improvements or new developments.

 

f.  Depletion and amortisation:

 

All expenditure carried within each field will be amortised from the commencement of production on a unit of production basis, which is the ratio of oil and gas production in the period to the estimated quantities of commercial reserves at the end of the period plus the production in the period, generally on a field-by-field basis or by a group of fields which are reliant on common infrastructure.

 

g.  Impairments of oil & gas properties:

 

The Group assesses assets or groups of assets, called cash-generating units (CGUs), for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or CGU may not be recoverable; for example, changes in the Group's assumptions about commodity prices, low field utilisation, significant downward revisions of estimated reserves or increases in estimated future development expenditure or decommissioning costs. If any such indication of impairment exists, the Group makes an estimate of the asset's or CGU's recoverable amount.

ENERGEAN ISRAEL LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(US Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)

NOTE 3: -  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

Where there is evidence of economic interdependency between fields, such as common infrastructure, the fields are grouped as a single CGU for impairment purposes. A CGU's recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Where the carrying amount of a CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the CGU is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

 

Fair value less costs of disposal is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction between market participants and does not reflect the effects of factors that may be specific to the Group and not applicable to entities in general.

 

For discount the future cash flows the Group calculates CGU-specific discount rates. The discount rates are based on an assessment of a relevant peer group's pre-tax Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC). The Group then adds any exploration risk premium which is implicit within a peer group's WACC and subsequently applies additional country risk premium for CGUs. Where conditions giving rise to impairment subsequently reverse, the effect of the impairment charge is also reversed as a credit to the income statement, net of any amortisation that would have been charged since the impairment.

The revesal is limited such that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds neither its recoverable amount, nor the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

 

h.  Other property, plant and equipment:

 

Other property, plant and equipment comprise of furniture, fixtures and equipment.

 

Initial recognition :

The initial cost of an asset comprises its purchase price or construction cost, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset into operation and borrowing costs. The purchase price or construction cost is the aggregate amount paid and the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire the asset.

 

Depreciation:

 

1.  Depreciation of other property, plant and equipment is calculated on the straight‑line method so as to write-off the cost amount of each asset to its residual value, over its estimated useful life. The useful life of each class is estimated as follows:

 

 

Years

Property leases and leasehold improvements

3 - 10

Furniture, fixtures and equipment

5 - 7

 

2.  Depreciation of the assets in the course of construction commences when the assets are ready for their intended use, on the same basis as other assets of the same class.

 

3.  An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected

ENERGEAN ISRAEL LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(US Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)

NOTE 3: -  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

  from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (Calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

 

4.  The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

 

Repairs, maintenance, and renovations:

 

Expenditure for routine repairs and maintenance of property, plant and equipment is charged to the profit or loss in the year in which it is incurred. The cost of major improvements and renovations and other subsequent expenditure are included in the carrying amount of the asset when the recognition criteria of IAS 16 'Property, Plant and Equipment' are met. Major improvements and renovations capitalised are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.

 

i.  Other intangible assets:

 

Computer software:

 

Costs that are directly associated with identifiable and unique computer software products controlled by the Group and that will generate economic benefits exceeding costs beyond one year are recognised as intangible assets. Subsequently computer software is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Costs associated with maintenance of computer software programmes are recognised as an expense when incurred.

Computer software costs are amortised using the straight‑line method over their useful live, of between three and five years, which commences when the computer software is available for use.

 

j.  Impairment of non-financial assets:

 

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its depreciable property, plant and equipment and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. Impairment is assessed at the level of cash-generating units (CGUs) which, in accordance with IAS 36 'Impairment of Assets', are identified as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows, which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. This is usually at the individual royalty, stream, oil and gas or working interest level for each property from which cash inflows are generated.

 

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCD) and value-in-use (VIU). The future cash flow expected is derived using estimates of proven and probable reserves, a portion of resources that is expected to be converted into reserves and information regarding the mineral, stream and oil & gas properties, respectively, that could affect the future recoverability of the Group's interests. Discount

NOTE 3: -  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

factors are determined individually for each asset and reflect their respective risk profiles.

 

Assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An impairment charge is reversed if the conditions that gave rise to the recognition of an impairment loss are subsequently reversed and the asset's recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount. Impairment losses can be reversed only to the extent that the recoverable amount does not exceed the carrying value that would have been determined had no impairment been recognised previously.

 

Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment when there is an indication that a particular exploration and evaluation project may be impaired. Examples of indicators of impairment include a significant price decline over an extended period, the decision to delay or no longer pursue the exploration and evaluation project, or an expiration of rights to explore an area. In addition, exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment upon their reclassification to producing assets (oil and gas interest in property, plant and equipment).

 

In assessing the impairment of exploration and evaluation assets, the carrying value of the asset would be compared to the estimated recoverable amount and any impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

 

k.  Leases:

 

The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

 

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the date of inception. The arrangement is assessed to determine whether fulfilment is dependent on the use of a specific asset (or assets) and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset (or assets), even if that asset is (or those assets are) not explicitly specified in an arrangement. The Group is not a lessor in any transactions, it is only a lessee.

 

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

 

1.  Right-of-use assets:

 

The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received.

ENERGEAN ISRAEL LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(US Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)

NOTE 3: -  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

 

-  Property leases 2 to 5 years

-  Motor vehicles and other equipment 1 to 3 years

-  Fiber Optic 14 years

 

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment.

 

2.  Lease liabilities:

 

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate.

 

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease

payments made.

 

In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

 

3.  Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets:

 

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

4 .  Other leases outside the scope of IFRS 16

Leases to explore for or use minerals, oil, natural gas and similar non-regenerative resources are outside the scope of IFRS 16 and are recognised as exploration and

NOTE 3: -  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

 evaluation costs or as oil and gas assets, as appropriate.

 

l.  Financial instruments - initial recognition and subsequent measurement:

 

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

 

1.  Financial assets:

 

Initial recognition and measurement:

 

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss.

 

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset's contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group's business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15.

 

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are 'solely payments of

principal and interest (SPPI)' on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.

 

The Group's business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.

 

Subsequent measurement:

 

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:

-  Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments);

-  Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss - The Group does not hold such financial assets as of December 31, 2021

 

 

 

 

 

ENERGEAN ISRAEL LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(US Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)

 

NOTE 3: -  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

Financial assets at amortised cost:

 

The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:

 

-  The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows ;   and

-  The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

 

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment under the expected credit loss model. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.

 

The Group's financial assets at amortised cost includes trade receivables.

 

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 Group's consolidated statement of financial position) when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired.

 

Impairment of financial assets:

 

The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt

instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an

approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

 

ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).

 

For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date.

ENERGEAN ISRAEL LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3: -  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

,

The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.

 

2.  Financial liabilities:

 

Initial recognition and measurement:

 

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

 

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

 

The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans, , derivative financial instruments and borrowings.

 

Subsequent measurement:

 

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 derecognised, modified and through the EIR amortisation process.

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 or loss.

This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings.

 

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 derecognition 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 or loss.

NOTE 3: -  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

3.  Offsetting of financial instruments:

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

 

m.  Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting:

 

Initial recognition and subsequent measurement

 

The Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps to hedge its interest rate risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

 

For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges   which applicable to the Group are classified as Cash flow hedges when hedging the exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk in an unrecognised firm commitment.

 

At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which it wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge.

 

A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting if it meets all of the following effectiveness requirements:

 

· There is 'an economic relationship' between the hedged item and the hedging instrument.

· The effect of credit risk does not 'dominate the value changes' that result from that economic relationship.

· The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the Group actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the Group actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item.

 

Hedges that meet all the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for, as described below:

 

Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in OCI in the cash flow hedge reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss. The cash flow hedge reserve is adjusted to the lower of the

ENERGEAN ISRAEL LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(US Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)

 

NOTE 3: -  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument and the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.

 

If cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued, the amount that has been accumulated in OCI must remain in accumulated OCI if the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur. Otherwise, the amount will be immediately reclassified to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment. After discontinuation, once the hedged cash flow occurs, any amount remaining in accumulated OCI must be accounted for depending on the nature of the underlying transaction.

 

n.  Equity instruments:

 

Equity instruments issued by the Group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

 

Ordinary shares

 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity and measured at their nominal value. Any premiums received on issue of share capital above its nominal value, are recognised as share premium within equity. Associated issue costs are deducted from share premium.

 

Other components of equity include the following:

Retained losses includes all current and prior period retained losses.

 

The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in OCI in the cash flow hedge reserve.

 

o.  Share-based payments:

 

Employees (including senior executives) of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments issued and charge upon vesting by the Ultimate Parent Company (Energean plc).

 

ENERGEAN ISRAEL LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(US Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)

 

NOTE 3: -  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

Equity-settled transactions :

 

The fair value of the equity settled awards has been determined at the date of grant of the award allowing for the effect of any market-based performance conditions.

 

That cost is recognised in employee benefits expense, together with a corresponding increase in trade payables since the awards upon vesting is being charged by the Ultimate Parent Company, over the period in which the service and, where applicable, the performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Ultimate Parent Company's (Energean plc) best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the statement of profit or loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

 

Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Ultimate Parent Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award and lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are also service and/or performance conditions.

 

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

 

p.  Fair value measurement:

 

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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: in the principal market for the asset or liability or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

 

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

 

All assets and liabilities, for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements, are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

 

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

-  Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

-  Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

 

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

 

q.  Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash:

 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash in hand, demand deposits and also deposits, with a maturity of three months or less, that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value.

 

The cash reserves retained as a bank security pledge in respect of bank guarantees are defined as restricted cash and held in designated bank deposits accounts to be used only for the purposes of the capital commitments.

Release of cash from the accounts can only be made with the approval of the lender when specified expenditure milestones are met. The current and non-current classification of the bank security pledges is determined by the forecast expenditure of the capital commitments.

Restricted cash comprises balances retained in respect of the Group's Senior Secured Notes and cash collateral provided under a letter of credit facility for issuing bank guarantees for Group's activities in Israel (see Note 18). The nature of the restrictions on these balances mean that they do not qualify for classification as cash equivalents.

r.  Provisions:

 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Where the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risk and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. The expense relating to a provision is presented

 

in profit or loss net of any reimbursement. 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 recognised as a finance cost.

 

Decommissioning provision:

 

Provision for decommissioning is recognised in full when the related facilities are installed. A corresponding amount equivalent to the provision is also recognised as part of the cost of the related property, plant and equipment.

The amount recognised is the estimated cost of decommissioning, discounted to its net present value at a risk-free discount rate, and is reassessed each year in accordance with local conditions and requirements. Changes in the estimated timing of decommissioning or decommissioning cost estimates are dealt with prospectively by recording an adjustment to the provision, and a corresponding adjustment to property, plant and equipment. The unwinding of the discount on the decommissioning provision is included as a finance cost

 

s.  Retirement benefit costs regarding the employees by the directly owned Branch in Israel:

 

The Israeli Branch has defined contribution plans pursuant to section 14 to the Severance Pay in Israel Law under which the Israeli Branch pays fixed contributions and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient amounts to pay all employee benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to the defined contribution plan in respect of severance or retirement pay are recognised as an expense when contributed concurrently with performance of the employee's services.

 

t.  Borrowing costs:

 

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

NOTE 3: -  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

Excluded from the above capitalisation policy are any qualifying assets that are inventories that are produced, in large quantities on a repetitive basis.

 

Borrowing costs include interest expense on loans, and bank overdrafts on an effective rate basis as well as other bank charges and are included in the statement of profit or loss.

 

u.  Tax:

 

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the financial statements because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

 

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

 

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

 

Current and deferred tax assets and corresponding liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

 

The Group recognises tax provision liabilities for anticipated tax issues based on if it is probable, defined as more likely than not, that additional taxes will be due. This assessment is based on all available evidence and, where appropriate, in the light of external advice. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax liability in the period in which such determination is made.

 

v.  Levies:  

 

Levies imposed on the Company by government entities through legislation, are accounted for pursuant to IFRIC 21 according to which the liability for the levy is recognized only when the activity that triggers payment occurs.

w.  Restatement of comparatives in Consolidated Cash Flow Statement

 

The Company has changed the classification of the amounts received from INGL from financing activities to investing activities. These cash inflows represent the contribution received from INGL in relation to the onshore section of the Karish and Tanin infrastructure and the near shore section of pipeline extending to approximately 10km offshore. For further information on the INGL transaction refer to note 11(5).

The Company previously presented the contributions from INGL as financing activities as this was reflective of the length of time between their receipt from INGL and when Energean is expected to complete the construction of this infrastructure. The Company has reconsidered the treatment and considers that the cash inflows from INGL should be classified as investing activities in accordance with IAS 7 as they do not meet the definition of a financing activity, which is 'activities that result in changes in the size and contribution of the contributed equity and borrowings of the entity'. Comparative figures for the 2020 financial year have been restated as follows.

NOTE 4: -  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of accounting estimates and assumptions, and also requires management to exercise its judgement, in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies.

 

Estimates, assumptions and judgement applied are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although these estimates, assumptions and judgement are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ.

 

1.  Critical judgements in applying the Group's accounting policies:

 

The following are significant management judgements in applying the accounting policies of the Group that have the most significant effect on the financial statements:

 

Carrying value of intangible exploration and evaluation assets :

 

Amounts carried under intangible exploration and evaluation assets represent active exploration projects. Capitalised costs will be written off to the income statement as exploration costs unless commercial reserves are established, or the determination process is not completed and there are no indications of impairment in accordance with the Group's accounting policy. The process of determining whether there is an indicator for impairment or calculating the impairment requires critical judgement. The key areas in which management has applied judgement and estimation are as follows: the Group's intention to proceed with a future work programme; the likelihood of licence renewal or extension; the assessment of whether sufficient data exists to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale; and the success of a well result or geological or geophysical survey.

 

2.  Estimation uncertainty:

 

The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, are discussed below:

 

Carrying value of property, plant and equipment :

 

The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the recoverable amount (which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use) of the cash-generating unit to which the assets belong is then estimated based on the present value of future discounted cash flows.

 

For oil and gas assets, the expected future cash flow estimation is based on a number of factors, variables and assumptions, the most important of which are estimates of reserves, future production profiles, oil prices and costs. In most cases, the present value of future cash flows is most sensitive to estimates of future oil price, estimates of reserves, estimates of development costs and discount rates.

 

ENERGEAN ISRAEL LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(US Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)

 

NOTE 4: -  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (Cont.)

 

A change in the assumptions could materially change the recoverable amount. In the event that future circumstances vary from these assumptions, the recoverable amount of the Group's development and production assets could change materially and result in impairment losses or the reversal of previous impairment losses.

 

Hydrocarbon reserve and resource estimates:


The Company's oil and gas development and production properties are depreciated on a unit of production basis at a rate calculated by reference to developed and undeveloped proved and probable commercial reserves (2P developed and undeveloped) which are estimated to be recoverable with existing and future developed facilities using current operating methods, determined in accordance with the Petroleum Resources Management System published by the Society of Petroleum Engineers, the World Petroleum Congress and the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.
Commercial reserves are determined using estimates of oil and gas in place, recovery factors and future oil prices. The level of estimated commercial reserves is also a key determinant in assessing whether the carrying value of any of the Company's oil and gas properties has been impaired. As the economic assumptions used may change and as additional geological information is produced during the operation of a field, estimates of recoverable reserves may change. Such changes may impact the Company's reported financial position and results which include:

• Depreciation and amortisation charges in profit or loss may change where such charges are determined using the units of production method, or where the useful life of the related assets change

• Impairment charges in profit or loss

• Provisions for decommissioning may change - where changes to the reserve estimates affect expectations about when such activities will occur and the associated cost of these activities

• The recognition and carrying value of deferred tax assets may change due to changes in the judgements regarding the existence of such assets and in estimates of the likely recovery of such assets
 

Decommissioning costs:


There is uncertainty around the cost of decommissioning as cost estimates can vary in response to many factors, including from changes to market rates for goods and services, to the relevant legal requirements, the emergence of new technology or experience at other assets. The expected timing, work scope, amount of expenditure, discount and inflation rates may also change. Therefore significant estimates and assumptions are made in determining the provision for decommissioning.
The estimated decommissioning costs are reviewed annually by management and the results of this review are then assessed alongside estimates from operators. Provision for environmental cleanup and remediation costs is based on current legal and contractual requirements, technology and price levels

NOTE 4: -  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (Cont.)

 

Deferred taxes :

 

The Group has recognised deferred tax assets in respect of losses and other temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that there will be future taxable profits against which the losses and other temporary differences can be utilised. The Group has considered their carrying value at each balance sheet date and concluded that based on management's estimates, sufficient taxable profits will be generated in future years to recover such recognised deferred tax assets.

 

These estimates are based on forecast performance and where tax losses are subject to expiration, the estimates take into account the expected reversal patterns of taxable temporary differences compared to the future reversal of deductible temporary differences.

For additional details, see also Note 13(C).

 

The management regard the deferred tax asset in relation to tax losses and other temporary differences as recoverable, despite the loss-making situation that currently exists, based on its best estimate of future sources of taxable income.

(1)  The additions to Oil and Gas assets for the year ended 31 December 2021 are mainly due to the development costs of Karish field which relate to the EPCIC contract (FPSO, Sub Sea and On-shore construction cost) at the amount of approx. US$124 million (31 December 2020: approx. US$280 million) and development costs of Karish North at the amount of approx. US$31 million. (31 December 2020: approx. US$49 million).

 

(2)  The Company's Board of Directors has approved on December 2020 the Final Investment Decision ("FID") to proceed with the Karish North Development Project, offshore Israel. As a result all amounts related Karish North field that were classified under Intangible assets reclassified as Property, Plant and Equipment, in line with the Group's accounting policy (Note 6).

f.  Technip EPCIC Contract:

 

On 2 March 2018, the Group entered into a lump-sum turnkey engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning contract with Technip UK Limited, Technip France SA and the Israeli branch of Technip Ships One Limited (together, "Technip") in respect of the development of the Karish field (the "Technip EPCIC Contract").

 

As at 31 December 2021, the completion of the project as defined in the EPCIC (Practical Completion Date) is estimated to occur on Q 3   2022. Technip undertakes to remedy any defects in the work noticed within 21 months of completion, to be extended up to 33 months for defects in modifications and repairs. The Technip EPCIC Contract provides for daily liquidated damages for delays of more than 22 days from the target completion date of 31 March 2021 subject to Force Majeure events as defined in the EPCIC contract. Technip provided a performance bond equal to 10% of the contract price for up to six months beyond the completion date, reducing thereafter to 5% until no earlier than the end of the defects liability period.

Pursuant to the Technip EPCIC Contract, Energean Israel has agreed to pay Technip approximately US$1.4 billion (multi-currency), with an option to hedge all non-US Dollar amounts. The contract price is payable in accordance with defined milestones, subject to satisfaction of Energean Israel. Energean Israel is entitled to set off amounts owed to Technip against amounts due from Technip (including any liquidated damages), and to withhold payment for defective work and disputed amounts in any invoice.

The Technip EPCIC Contract also contains provisions typical for a contract of this kind regarding variation, intellectual property, force majeure, dispute resolution, sanctions, the duty to cooperate and reporting, including regarding monthly reports and documentation of milestone payment claims.

d.  Additional information regarding the Exploration and Evaluation assets:

 

1.  In December 2017, the Group was granted five licences to search for gas and oil in Block 12, Block 21, Block 22, Block 23 and Block 31, which are located in the economic waters of the State of Israel. The licences were granted for a period of 3 years, from 15 January 2018 to 14 January 2021 (hereinafter: the "Original Period").

The decommissioning provision represents the present value of decommissioning costs relating to three wells of Karish main.

 

The decommissioning provision represents the present value of decommissioning costs relating to oil and gas properties, which are expected to be incurred up to 2041, when the producing oil and gas properties are expected to cease operations. These provisions have been created based on the Group's internal estimates. Assumptions based on the current economic environment have been made, which management believes form a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability. These estimates are reviewed regularly to take into account any material changes to the assumptions. However, actual decommissioning costs will ultimately depend upon future market prices for the necessary decommissioning works required that will reflect market conditions at the relevant time.

Furthermore, the timing of decommissioning is likely to depend on when the fields cease to produce at economically viable rates. This, in turn, will depend upon future oil and gas prices, which are inherently uncertain.

The discount rate applied on 31 December 2021 is 1.95% (31 December 2020: 1.45%).

Depreciation will be commenced based on the depletion method (for accounting purposes), upon commercial production.

As of 31 December 2021, Force Majeure event length has not been finalised as the COVID-19 pandemic continue to affect the progress of the project, and as such, the deferred payment due in March 2022 will be postponed accordingly. See also note 18(H)

 

(4)  As of 31 December 2021, the balance is mainly accrued interest related the Senior Security Notes (see also Note 9(C)). As of 31 December 2020, the balance is mainly accrued interest related the project finance loan.

 

(5)  The contract liability refer to sales consideration received in advance following an agreement with Israel Natural Gas Lines ("INGL") for the transfer of title (the "Hand Over") of the near shore and onshore part of the infrastructure that will deliver gas from the Energean Power FPSO into the Israeli national gas transmission grid. As consideration, INGL will pay the Company 369 million ILS, represents as of 31 December 2021 approximately US$119 million for the infrastructure being built by the Company which will be paid in accordance with milestones detailed in the agreement. The total payments received as of 31 December 2021 at the amount of approx. 110 million ILS, represents approx. US$33 million. Because the advance received is for the period more than one year, the effective interest is recognized.

 

The agreement covers the onshore section of the Karish and Tanin infrastructure and the near shore section of pipeline extending to approximately 10km offshore. It is intended that the hand over to INGL will become effective at least 90 days after the delivery of first gas from the Karish field which expected in Q 3   2022. Following Hand Over, INGL will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of this part of the infrastructure.

NOTE 13: -  INCOME TAX AND LEVIES ) Cont. (

 

b.  The Income and Natural Resources Taxation Law, 5771-2011 - Israel:

 

In April 2011, the Knesset passed the Income and Natural Resources Tax Law, 5771-2011 ("the Law"). The implementation of the law led to a change in the taxation rules applicable to the Group's income, including among others, oil and gas profits levy according to a mechanism determined in the law and cancellation of the depletion allowance.

 

The main provisions of the law are as follows:

The imposition of an oil and gas profits levy at a rate to be set as set out below. The rate of the levy will be calculated according to a proposed R factor mechanism, according to the ratio between the net accrued revenues from the project and the cumulative investments as defined in the law. A minimum levy of 20% will be levied at the stage where the R factor ratio reaches 1.5, and when the ratio increases, the levy will increase gradually until the maximum rate of 50% until the ratio reaches 2.3. In addition, it was determined that the rate of the levy as stated will be reduced starting in 2017 by multiplying 0.64 by the difference between the corporate tax rate prescribed in section 126 of the Income Tax Ordinance for each tax year and the tax rate of 18%. In accordance with the corporate tax rate from 2018 onwards, the maximum rate will be 46.8%.

 

In addition, additional provisions were prescribed regarding the levy, inter alia, the levy will be recognised as an expense for the purpose of calculating income tax; The limits of the levy shall not include export facilities; The levy will be calculated and imposed for each reservoir separately (Ring Fencing); Payment by the owner of an oil right calculated as a percentage of the oil produced, the recipient of the payment will be liable to pay a levy according to the amount of the payment received, and this amount will be subtracted from the amount of the levy owed by the holder of the oil right.

The law also sets rules for the unification or separation or consolidation of oil projects for the purposes of the law.

In accordance with the provisions of the Law, the Group is not yet required to pay any payment in respect of the said levy, and therefore no liability has been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this payment.

 

c.  Deferred taxes:

The Group is subject to corporation tax on its taxable profits in Israel at the rate of 23%. The Capital Gain Tax rates depends on the purchase date and the nature of asset. The general capital tax rate for a corporation is the standard corporate tax rate.

Tax losses can be utilised for an unlimited period, and tax losses may not be carried back.

Tax losses occurring during the development or construction phases are to be deducted at the depreciation rate of the asset under development in respect of which they were created.

 

According to Income Tax (Deductions from Income of Oil Rights Holders) Regulations, 5716-1956, the exploration and evaluation expenses of oil and gas assets are deductible in the year in which they are incurred.

The Group expects that there will be sufficient taxable profit in the following years and that deferred tax assets, recognised in the consolidated financial statements of the Group, will be recovered.

Energean plc's 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)

 

Under the LTIP, Senior Management can be granted nil exercise price options, normally exercisable from three to ten years following grant provided an individual remains in employment. The size of awards depends on both annual performance measures and Total Shareholder Return (TSR) over a period of up to three years. There are no post-grant performance conditions. No dividends are paid over the vesting period; however, Energean plc's Board may decide at any time prior to the issue or transfer of the shares in respect of which an award is released that the participant will receive an amount (in cash and/or additional Shares) equal in value to any dividends that would have been paid on those shares on such terms and over such period (ending no later than the Release Date) as the Board may determine. This amount may assume the reinvestment of dividends (on such basis as the Board may determine) and may exclude or include special dividends.

 

The weighted average remaining contractual life for LTIP awards outstanding at 31 December 2021 was one year (31 December 2020: 1.5 years).

 

All the amount related to share-based payment is recognised as liability since Energean plc charges the Group, using the share price at grant date, for the shares issued upon vesting.

Deferred Share Bonus Plan (DSBP)

 

Under the DSBP, the portion of any annual bonus above 30 per cent of the base salary of a Senior Executive nominated by the Remuneration Committee was deferred into shares.

 

Deferred awards are usually granted in the form of conditional share awards or nil-cost options (or, exceptionally, as cash-settled equivalents). Deferred awards usually vest two years after award although may vest early on leaving employment or on a change of control.

 

The weighted average remaining contractual life for DSBP awards outstanding at 31 December 2021 was 0.5 year (31 December 2020: one year).

 

All the amount related to share-based payment is recognised as liability since Energean plc charges the Group, using the share price at grant date, for the shares issued upon vesting.

NOTE 20: - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Financial risk management objectives

 

The Group is exposed to market price risk which comprises: foreign currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk management arising from the financial instruments it holds. The risk management policies employed by the Group to manage these risks are discussed below:

 

a.  Foreign exchange risk:

 

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk as it undertakes operations in various foreign currencies. The key sources of the risk are attributed to the fact that the Group has certain financial assets (mainly other receivables and cash and cash equivalents) and financial liabilities (mainly trade and other payable) with different currencies than the functional currency of the Group, mainly Israeli Shekel (ILS) United Kingdom Pound (GBP) , Euro and Norwegian Krone (NOK).

 

The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk at each reporting date is shown in the table below. The amounts shown are the US$ equivalent of the foreign currency amounts.

b.  Credit risk:

 

Credit risk arises when a failure by counterparties to discharge their obligations could reduce the amount of future cash inflows from financial assets on hand at the reporting date. The Group has policies in place to ensure that all of its transactions giving rise to credit risk are made with parties having an appropriate credit history and monitors on a continuous basis the ageing profile of its receivables.

 

Also, the Group has policies to limit the amount of credit exposure to any banking institution, considering among other factors the credit ratings of the banks with which deposits are held. Credit quality information in relation to those banks is provided below.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date, without taking account of any collateral obtained, was:

NOTE 20: - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Cont.)

 

c.  Liquidity risk:

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.

The Group has procedures with the object of minimizing this risk such as maintaining sufficient cash and other highly liquid current assets and by having available an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.

 

The following tables detail the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

 

The Group manages its liquidity risk by ongoing monitoring of its cash flows. Group management prepares budgets and regular cash flow forecasts and takes appropriately actions to ensure available cash deposits and credit lines with the banks are available to meet the Group's liabilities as they fall due.

 

On 2 March 2018, the Group entered into a senior secured project finance for its Karish-Tanin project amounting to US$1,275 million. On 16 March 2020, the senior credit facility was increased to US$1,450 billion, providing an additional US$175 million of liquidity for the Karish project and future appraisal activity in Israel. As of 29 April 2021, the Group withdrew US$1,268 million from the Project Finance Facility. See Note 9(A).

 

On 24 March 2021 ("Issue Date"), Energean Israel Finance Ltd (a subsidiary of the Company, held 100%) issued US$2.5 billion senior secured notes.

(3)  As of 31 December 2020 include short term accrued interest in the amount of approx. US$2,081.   See Note 11.

 

d.  Capital risk management:

 

Capital includes equity shares and share premium.

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions, in order to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
The Group's overall objectives, policies and processes remained unchanged from last year.

 

e.  Fair Values :

 

The fair values of the Group's non-current liabilities measured at amortised cost are considered to approximate their carrying amounts at the reporting date.

 

The carrying value less any estimated credit adjustments for financial assets and financial liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short term-nature. The fair value of the group's finance lease obligations is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the group's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types and maturities of borrowing and are consequently categorised in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 20: - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Cont.)

 

During 2019, the Group signed a hedge contract for 50% of the facility notional, to hedge the 3 months LIBOR component of the facility. The hedging contract was ended during September 2021. All derivatives are recognised at fair value on the balance sheet with valuation changes recognised immediately in the income statement, unless the derivatives have been designated as a cash flow hedge. Fair value is the amount for which the asset or liability could be exchanged in an arm's length transaction at the relevant date. Where available, fair values are determined using quoted prices in active markets. To the extent that market prices are not available, fair values are estimated by reference to market-based transactions or using standard valuation techniques for the applicable instruments and commodities involved. Values recorded are as at the balance sheet date and will not necessarily be realised.

 

As at 31 December 2020 the Group's interest rate derivatives are Level 2. There were no transfers between fair value levels during the year.

 

The fair value hierarchy of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value (but fair value disclosure is required) is as follows:
