D. Fair value measurements:

The information set out below provides information about how the Group determines the fair values of various financial assets and liabilities.

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

  • (1) The change in Trade payables and accrued expenses represents mainly timing differences and levels of work activity in Karish project. Trade payables are non-interest bearing.
  • (2) In December 2016, the Company acquired the Karish and Tanin offshore gas fields for US\$40 million closing payment with an obligation to pay additional consideration of US\$108.5 million plus interest inflated at an annual rate of 4.6% in ten equal annual payments. As at 31 March 2022 the total discounted deferred consideration was approx. US\$58 million (as at 31 December 2021: approx. US\$57million).

The Sale and Purchase Agreement ("SPA") includes provisions in the event of Force Majeure that prevents or delays the implementation of the development plan as approved under one lease for a period of more than ninety (90) days in any year following the final investment decision ("FID") date. In the event of Force Majeure, the applicable annual payment of the remaining consideration will be postponed by an equivalent period of time, and no interest will be accrued in that period of time as well.

Due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic which constitute a Force Majeure event, the deferred payment due in March 2022 was postponed.

(3) The sales consideration received in advance is related to the 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. 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 Q3-2022. Following Hand Over, INGL will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of this part of the infrastructure.

As of 31 March 2022, the sales consideration received in advance presented as short term liability (on 31 December 2021 was presented under long term payables).

(4) In March 2022 the company signed the amendment to EPCIC contract to delay part of the payments according to agreed schedule.
