   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.

Below are the items for which deferred taxes were recognised:

(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) . The amounts payable to Technip up to 30 September 2024 under this contract are presented as part of trade accounts payable - current.

(4) The contract liability relates to the agreement with Israel Natural Gas Lines ("INGL") for the transfer of title (the "Hand Over") of the near shore and onshore segments of the infrastructure that delivers gas from the Energean Power FPSO into the Israeli national gas transmission grid. The Hand Over became effective in March 2023. Following the Hand Over, INGL is responsible for the operations and maintenance of this part of the infrastructure and the related asset (refer to Note 7) and contract liability was derecognised. The final $5million consideration is receivable within 12 months of handover and is recognised within other receivable (refer to Note 10).

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:

   NOTE 15: -   Significant events and transaction during the reporting period 

(a) Gas Sales Agreements - Energean signed spot gas sale and purchase agreement with three Israeli gas buyers. The gas price will be determined in each period, with purchased amounts determined on a daily basis. The agreement will be valid for an initial one-year period with an option to extend subject to ratification by both parties.

(b) INGL Hand-Over completion - The Hand Over became effective in March 2023. Following the Hand Over, INGL is responsible for the operations and maintenance of this part of the infrastructure.

   (c)    Completion of offering of US$750,000,000 senior secured notes - see Note 12. 
   NOTE 1 6: -    Significant events and transaction after the reporting period 

(a) Interim dividend - An interim dividend of US$78 million was declared and paid on the 18 October, as part of the process to make the final deferred consideration to Kerogen.

(b) Israel-Hamas conflict ( Swords of Iron War ) - as of 7 October 2023, following an unprecedented attack against Israel by Hamas, Israel has been declared in a state of war. While the situation has not impacted the Company's production from the FPSO, it is not possible to predict whether the conflict will have a material adverse effect on our future earnings, cash flows and financial conditions.

(c) Karish and Tanin purchase agreement - In November 2023, Energean Israel reached a settlement with NewMed Energy for the remaining deferred consideration under the original purchase agreement of the Karish and Tanin leases of approximately $47.4 million, which includes the agreed annual interest. This will be paid in 2024 in two instalments. This agreement is final and unappealable.
