Introduction

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.

Accounting principles

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.

Financial review

Total revenue was USD 21.3 (25.0 in Q3 19) million, and reported operating profit USD -3.4 (7.4 in Q3 19) million.

EBITDAX amounted to USD 15.9 million (17.5 in Q3 2019). Net income came in at USD 1.9 million (-1.5 in Q3 2019).

Revenue was related to oil sales from the Valhall and Hod fields, (450 kboe in Q3 2020 compared to 347.5 kboe in Q3 2019). The financial results in the quarter were impacted by lower commodity prices with an average realised oil price before hedging of USD 43.7 (64.4 in Q3 2019) per bbl.

The operating expenses amounted to USD 5.5 (7.5 in Q3 2019) million.

Investments in fixed assets amounted to USD 13.8 million driven by investments in the Valhall field, mainly well stimulation at Flank West and Flank South West, and re-development of the Hod field.

The Company's interest-bearing debt was USD 174.7 million at the end of the third quarter compared to USD 166.5 million at the end of second quarter 2020.

Financial review cont.

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 31.12.2020 with repayment in Q4 2021.

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 third quarter Pandion Energy received tax refunds of USD 10.5 million.

Hedging

In order to reduce the risk related to oil price fluctuations, the Company has established an oil price hedging programme. At the end of September 2020, Pandion Energy had put in place a hedging programme until end of Q2 2021. The hedging program is based on a combination of put options and collar structures.

At the end of September, 109% of estimated after tax (31% of pre tax) oil production volumes in the period October – December 2020 had been hedged. The average floor in the hedging instruments is 32 USD/bbl. The hedging of more than 100% of estimated after tax oil production volumes is solely based on put options and is established in order to protect liquidity. For the period January – June 2021, 48% of after tax (14% of pre tax) oil production volumes has been hedged at an average floor price of 34 USD/bbl. 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 loss from hedging presented as other income. The loss amounted to USD 0.7 million in Q3 2020, of which USD 1.2 million was realised gain.

Operational review

Valhall & Hod fields

Production from the Valhall and Hod fields was 5.8 (5.2 in Q2 2020) thousand barrels of oil equivalents per day net to Pandion during third quarter, an increase of 11 per cent.

Stimulation activities continued at Valhall Flank West, with two new wells brought on stream during the quarter. However, the production ramp-up has been slower than initially expected. A more conservative strategy when starting production from the new wells has been required in order to mitigate chalk influx.

A shallow gas pilot, confirming no gas, was drilled by the Maersk Invincible drilling rig in preparation for the Hod Field Development. The rig has now been moved to the field centre for plugging of wells at the old DP platform.

The Hod field will be developed with a normally unmanned installation remotely controlled from the Valhall field centre. The construction of the Hod facilities is well underway at the Kværner yard in Verdal. The Subsea Alliance has completed the first offshore campaign by preparing for a hot tap operation that will take place next year. The Modification Alliance has commenced detailed engineering and will be ready to start offshore work by the end of the year. Production start is planned for first quarter 2022, and the recoverable reserves are estimated at around 40 million barrels of oil equivalents.

Exploration

During Q3 2020, Pandion Energy entered into an agreement with ConocoPhillips Skandinavia AS ("ConocoPhillips") to swap half of its 20 per cent interest in PL 1047 in the North Sea in exchange for ConocoPhillips' 20 percent interest in PL 938, containing the Calypso prospect. An exploration well is planned to be drilled in the license in 2021 or 2022. The transaction is subject to approval by the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy.

In October 2020, the drilling of an exploration well Appolonia in PL 263 D/E was completed with a small gas discovery . The licence is operated by Equinor Energy AS, with Pandion Energy AS and Lime Petroleum AS as partners. The costs of the exploration well have been expensed as at 30.09.2020.

Covid-19 measures and consequences Other activities

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 and during second quarter mandatory testing for all offshore personnel has been implemented by Aker BP. 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 third quarter involved in other offshore activities by the drilling of an exploration well Appolonia in PL 263 D/E. No virus-related disruption to the Appolonia drilling was reported.

In the low oil price environment and the unknown time for recovery to previous scenarios 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 September 2020, Pandion Energy has performed a buyback of own bonds with the par value of NOK 5 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).

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.

NOTE 3 IMPAIRMENTS

The remaining goodwill as at 30 September 2020 is USD 93 million, all 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 Q3 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 further impairment is required at 30 September 2020, Pandion Energy has used a combination of Brent forward curve from the beginning of Q4 2020 to the end of 2021, a mean of market participant view from 2022 to 2025 and a 2% inflation of the 2025 market participant view from 2026 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.

No further impairments have been recognised in Q3 2020.
