NOTE 9: - 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 depend on the purchase date and the nature of the asset. The general capital gains 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.

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 profits in the following years and that deferred tax assets, recognised in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group, will be recovered.

(1) Trade payables and accrued expenses relate primarily to development expenditure on the Karish project, with the main contributors being FPSO and subsea construction costs and for drilling activities performed offshore Israel. Trade payables are non-interest bearing.

(2) In December 2016, the Company acquired the Karish and Tanin leases for US\$40 million of upfront consideration plus contingent consideration of US\$108.5 million (paid over 10 equal instalments) bearing interest at an annual rate of 4.6%. On 30 September 2023, the total discounted deferred consideration was US\$41 million (31 December 2022: US\$52million). Refer to Note 16.

(3) This represents the amount payable to Technip in respect of the EPCIC contract. Under this contract, US\$250 million becomes payable nine months following the practical completion date (June 18, 2023), and is payable in eight equal quarterly instalments, bearing no interest. A discount rate of 5.831% has been applied (being the yield rate of the senior secured loan notes, maturing in 2024, at the date of entering into the settlement agreement).

NOTE 14: - Financial Instruments

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 categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

There were no transfers between fair value levels during the period.

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:
