- The additions to Petroleum and Gas assets for the period of nine months ended 30 September 2021 are mainly due to the development costs of Karish field which relate to the EPCIC contract (FPSO, Sub Sea and On-shore construction cost) at the amount of approx. US$122 million (for the year ended 31 December 2020: approx. US$280 million).

- The borrowing costs capitalised for the period of nine months ended 30 September 2021 at the amount of approx. US$155 million (for the year ended 31 December 2020: approx. US$92 million) are mainly due to the Senior Facility Loan for Karish development at the amount of approx. US$90 million (for the year ended 31 December 2020: approx. US$81 million) and due to the secured senior notes at the amount of approx. US$59 million for the period of nine months ended 30 September 2021 (Nil for the year ended 31 December 2020). The weighted average interest rates used for the capitalisation of the borrowing cost was 6.27% (31 December 2020: 8.78%).

   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 main balance of the Trade payables and Accrued expenses as of 30 September 2021 relates to development costs for a total amount of approx. US$16 million (31 December 2020: approx. US$69 million), approx. US$12 million (31 December 2020: approx. US$68 million) included in trade payable and approx. US$4 million (31 December 2020: approx. US$1 million) at the accrued expenses. The change in Trade payables 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 30 September 2021 the total discounted deferred consideration was approx. US$56 million (as at 31 December 2020: approx. US$70 million).

The Sale 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, postponing the deferred payment due in March 2022 by the number of days that such Force Majeure event last. As of 30 September 2021, Force Majeure event length has not been finalised as the COVID-19 pandemic continue to affect the progress of the project, and as such, the deferred payment due in March 2022 will be postponed accordingly.

(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. On 1 July 2021 the Company received the amount of 18.39 million ILS (approx. US$5.6 million) from INGL. 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 mid-2022.
