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.

Fair values of derivative financial instruments :

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 Group held financial instruments at fair value on 30 June 2021 related to interest rate derivatives. 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 of 30 June 2021, the Group recognized derivative liability at the amount of US$2.4 million.

As of 30 June 2021, the Group's interest rate derivatives are Level 2 (31 December 2020: Level 2). There were no transfers between fair value levels during the year.

NOTE 7:  SIGNIFICANTS EVENTS AND TRANSACTIONS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

A.    Compensation to gas buyers due to late supply:

During August 2021 and in accordance with the GSPAs signed with a group of gas buyers, the Company has agreed to pay compensation to these counterparties due to the fact the gas supply date is taking place beyond a certain date as defined in the GSPAs (being 30 June 2021). The compensation will be paid on a monthly basis starting on August 2021 and is estimated at approx. US$23 million. The compensation is accounted as variable purchase consideration under IFRS 15 hence recognised once production commences and gas is delivered to the offtakers.

B.    Gas buyer request for arbitration:

During August 2021 a gas buyer sent a request for the International Court of Arbitration ("ICC") asking for arbitration on its rights of termination due to the fact the gas supply date is taking place beyond a certain date which defined in the GSPA. If the agreement it is terminated, the Company has identified multiple alternative routes to monetise those gas volumes (being 0.8 Bcm/yr), including both domestic and international markets, and hence is confident of profitably selling them.
