General information These interim financial statements for Pandion Energy AS ("Pandion Energy" or "the Company") have been prepared to comply with the Revolving exploration finance facility agreement dated 13 November, 2017, the Borrowing base facility agreement dated 9 April 2018 and Bond terms for senior unsecured bond dated 3 April 2018.
These interim financial statements have not been subject to review or audit by independent auditors.


These interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of simplified IFRS pursuant to the Norwegian Accounting Act §3-9 and regulations regarding simplified application of IFRS issued by the Norwegian Ministry of Finance on 3 November 2014, thus the interim financial statements do not include all information required by simplified IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the Company annual financial statement as at 31 December 2019.
The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and interim periods presented. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash flows for an annual period. In preparing these interim financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
As described in the company's annual financial statements for 2019, The Company has, with effect from 1 January 2019, implemented the amendments to IFRS 9 Prepayment features with negative compensation, IAS 19 Plan amendment, curtailment or settlement, IAS 28 Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures, IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over income tax treatments and annual improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017. The implementation of these standards has not had a material impact on the entity in the current reporting period.
From 1 January 2019, the Company has applied IFRS 16 Leases using the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.
For further detailed information on accounting principles, please refer to the Financial Statements for 2019.

Total revenues was USD 15.3 (28.9 in Q4 19) million, related to sale of hydrocarbons from the Valhall and Hod fields. The reduced revenue was impacted by lower commodity prices with an average realised oil price before hedging of USD 45.5 (USD 66.2 in Q4 2019) per bbl together with lower sold volume due to lifting moved to January 2021 (274 kboe in Q4 2020 compared to 400 in Q4 2019). The production from the Valhall and Hod fields was however up from Q3 2020 to 5.9 kboed (5.8 in Q3 2020).
EBITDAX amounted to USD 11.7 million (51.1 in Q4 2019) with the decrease compared to Q4 2019 mainly driven by a USD 29.9 million after tax accounting gain of the sale of 10% share in the Duva field during the comparative periode. Profit from operating activities was USD - 31.1 million (40.1 in Q4 2019). In addition to the reduced EBITDAX the reduced profit is mainly driven by a USD 30.3 million write-down of technical goodwill in Q4 2020.
The operating expenses amounted to USD 2.9 (5.7 in Q4 2019) million.
Investments in fixed assets amounted to USD 10.5 million driven by investments in the Valhall field, mainly well stimulation at Flank West, and re-development of the Hod field.
The Company's interest-bearing debt was USD 157.6 million at the end of the fourth quarter compared to USD 174.7 million at the end of third quarter 2020.
Pandion Energy has a robust and diversified capital structure made up of committed equity of USD 193 million (of which 112 million injected to date), a Reserve Based Lending Facility of USD 150 million (the "RBL facility"), and a senior Unsecured Bond Loan of NOK 400 million (the "Unsecured Bond). The current borrowing base in the RBL facility is USD 150 million. The Company has also extended the Exploration Finance facility ("EFF") of NOK 400 million by one year. The EFF can be drawn until 31.12.2021 with repayment in Q4 2022.
Provisional tax changes to stimulate investments in the petroleum sector were sanctioned by Norway's parliament on 12 June and provide Pandion Energy with a significant liquidity boost. The arrangement with negative tax instalment means that the refund of the tax value of losses incurred in 2020 and 2021 will be refunded in advance of the tax assessment on a running basis through the instalment tax regime, and during the second half of 2020 Pandion Energy received tax refunds of USD 31.7 million.

In order to reduce the risk related to oil price fluctuations, the Company has established an oil price hedging programme. At the end of December 2020, Pandion Energy had put in place a hedging programme until end of 2021. The hedging program is based on a combination of put options and collar structures.
At the end of December, 52% of after tax (15% of pre tax) crude oil production volumes has been hedged for the period January – December 2021 at an average floor price of 37 USD/bbl (USD 34/bbl net of costs). Additional positions may be added to the program going forward, however, the structure, amount and levels of any further hedging will depend on how the market for commodity derivatives develops.
The Company has recognised a realised loss from hedging in Q4 2020 presented as other income. The loss amounted to USD 0.7 million in Q4 2020.


Production from the Valhall and Hod fields was 5.9 (5.8 in Q3 2020) thousand barrels of oil equivalents per day net to Pandion during fourth quarter, an increase of 2 per cent. Production efficiency was stable at 90 percent. Stimulation and intervention activities continued to bring the wells up to full production potential.
The Maersk Invincible drilling unit remained at the field centre throughout the quarter to plug and abandon (P&A) the remaining wells at the old Drilling Platform (DP) which is subject to removal. The P&A operations are progressing well and are expected to continue into the first quarter.
The Hod project is progressing as planned at the Aker Solutions yard in Verdal. A milestone was reached when the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy (MPE) approved the Plan for Development (PDO) on 8 December. Production start is planned for first quarter 2022, and the recoverable reserves are estimated at around 40 million barrels of oil equivalents. In conjunction with the PDO approval the Hod production license (PL033) was granted an extension through 2035.
On 22 December, Pandion Energy announced a significant oil discovery in exploration well 6507/5-10 S in PL 891. Pandion holds a 20 % interest in the discovery. The well encountered a total oil column of 270 metre in the Åre formation and Grey Beds. Sandstone layers of 90 meters were encountered within the oil column with generally very good reservoir properties. Preliminary estimates place the size of the discovery between 75 and 200 million barrels oil equivalent.
On 31 December Pandion Energy entered into an agreement with Wintershall DEA Norge AS to acquire a 2.5 % interest in PL 820S – Iving Discovery and a 15% interest in PL 617. Pandion Energy increases its interest in PL 820S to 12.5 %. The transaction is subject to customary conditions for completion. Effective date for the transaction is 1 January 2021.
In January 2021, Pandion Energy AS was awarded five licences under the 2020 APA (Award in Pre-defined Areas) licence round on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. That includes two new licences and three additional acreages in the licences already existing in the portfolio. In addition to expanding the exploration portfolio with two new licenses Pandion has, with the awards of additional acreages secured strategically important acreage surrounding discoveries Pandion has taken part in during 2020, and strengthened the position in areas where the Company see additional upside potential.

Pandion Energy continue to closely monitor the Covid-19 situation with the objective of making sure necessary measures are taken to protect staff and operations.
Pandion Energy is a non-operator and not directly involved in the execution of offshore operations on a day-to day basis. However, as partner in the Valhall & Hod fields the Company is actively in dialogue with the operator to ensure that all necessary steps are taken to protect offshore personnel against the pandemic. Extensive measures have been implemented by the operator at Valhall area to ensure safe and reliable operations. To date no virus-related disruption to the Valhall & Hod operations have been reported.
Except for the operations at Valhall & Hod fields, the Company was during fourth quarter involved in other offshore activities by the drilling of an exploration well Slagugle in PL 891. No virus-related disruption to the Slagugle drilling was reported.
The Company continues to take necessary steps to ensure that the Company remains financially sound also in a scenario with low oil prices for an extended period of time.
Pandion is monitoring the pricing of its senior unsecured bond loan and considers, subject to market conditions, to take advantage of opportunities to repurchase bonds at value-accretive prices. Potential investments in the Company's own bond debt have been permitted by the lenders under the RBL facility. In 2020, Pandion Energy has performed a buyback of own bonds with the par value of NOK 11 million.
Pandion Energy will continue to be an active and responsible partner in driving value in high quality assets on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. As part of this, the company actively searches for and evaluates opportunities to make value-accretive investments (e.g. through acquisitions, farm-ins, licencing rounds, swaps or other) and to divest assets to realise value created in its existing portfolio (e.g. through sale, farm-downs, swaps or other).

In January 2021 Pandion launched its Strategy to Net Zero Carbon Emissions.
The Company`s carbon intensity per produced barrel is one of the lowest in the global E&P industry – ranging from 1.2-3.4 CO2e/boe for its net production, and the commitment to carbon neutrality has been achieved initially by offsetting CO2 emissions through programmesthat are aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The Company`s future approach to maintain its low carbon impact is set out in its Strategy to Net Zero Carbon document and includes:

| Carrying amount at 31 December 2020 | 63 138 | 57 984 | 121 122 |
The amount of Goodwill entirely relates to the acquisition of interest in the Valhall and Hod oil fields.
Expensed exploration expenditures previously capitalised is related to dry targets and relinquished licences.

The remaining goodwill as at 31 December 2020 amounted to USD 63.1 million and consists of technical goodwill related to the requirement to recognise deferred tax for the difference between the assigned fair values and the related tax base by purchase of Valhall & Hod fields. Prior period impairment of goodwill is not subject to reversal.
Technical goodwill is tested for impairment separately for Valhall & Hod fields which gave rise to the technical goodwill. The carrying value of Valhall & Hod fields consists of the carrying values of the oil field assets plus associated technical goodwill. When deferred tax liabilities from the acquisitions decreases as a result of depreciation, more technical goodwill as a result is exposed for impairment.
Impairment tests of individual cash-generating units are performed when impairment triggers are identified and for goodwill impairment is tested annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
In Q4 2020, two categories of impairment tests have been performed:
-Impairment test of oil and gas assets and related intangible assets -Impairment test of technical goodwill
In the assessment of whether an impairment is required at 31 December 2020, Pandion Energy has used a combination of Brent forward curve from the beginning of 2021 to the end of 2022, a mean of market participant view from 2023 to 2026 and a 2% inflation of the 2026 market participant view from 2027 and onwards, a future cost inflation rate of 2% per annum and a discount rate of 8% to calculate the future post tax cash flows.
Following the low oil price environment in 2020 and high uncertainty with regards to the magnitude of the implications going forward the Company has recognised a further impairment of technical goodwill in Q4 2020 amounting to USD 30.3 MUSD. The remaining goodwill as at 31 December 2020 amounts to USD 63.1 million. Total impairment of technical goodwill in 2020 amounts to USD 61.7 million.
