NOTE 2: -     Accounting policies and basis of preparation

The interim financial information included in this report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". The results for the interim period are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the period ended 30 September 2024. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures that are required for the annual financial statements and must be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

The financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars except where otherwise indicated.

The financial information presented herein has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies expected to be used in preparing the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are the same as those used in preparing the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

The directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these interim financial statements. The Going Concern assessment covers the period up to 31 December 2025 'the forecast period'.

Israel geopolitical environment - Looking to the fourth quarter of 2024, Energean highlights the following developments as important in relation to its principal risks. Since 7 October 2023, and the ongoing conflict in Israel, the magnitude of regional geopolitical risk remains elevated. Growing concerns of escalations in the Middle East have intensified the security risk in the region, as essential infrastructure systems (such as the Energean Power FPSO offshore Israel) may be targets for missile fire and sabotage operations. While the Karish and Karish North fields have continued to produce with no disruption since the start of the conflict, any event that impacts production from these fields could have a material adverse impact on the business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and prospects of the Group. In the first three quarters of 2024, Energean has ensured that all measures are in place to continue business operations, maintain the mobility of its people and make certain that the security of information is unaffected.

New and amended accounting standards and interpretations:

The following amendments became effective as at 1 January 2024:

1.     Amendments to IAS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants;

The adoption of the above amendments to EU-adopted IFRS did not result in any material changes to the Group's accounting policies and did not have any material impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

Other amendments coming into effect on 1 January 2024 are assessed to have no impact on the Group's operations

NOTE 6: -     Taxation

1.      Corporate Tax rates applicable to the Company:

Israel:

The Israeli corporate tax rate is 23% in 2024 and 2023.

UK:

With effect from 1st January 2024, the Company has migrated its tax residency from the Republic of Cyprus ("Cyprus") to the United Kingdom ("UK") through the transfer of its management and control to the UK. As of the same date, the Company came into the charge to UK corporation tax for the first time.

Under s.18A CTA 2009 the Company made an election for all current and future overseas branches (including its Israeli branch) to be exempt from UK corporation tax from its first accounting period commencing on 1 January 2024 and all subsequent accounting periods.

2.      The Income and Natural Resources Taxation Law, 5771-2011 - Israel- the main provisions of the law are as follows:

In April 2011, the Knesset passed the Income and Natural Resources Tax Law, 5771-2011 ("the Law"), which imposed an oil and gas profits levy at a rate set out below. The rate of the levy is calculated according to a proposed R factor mechanism, according to the ratio between the net accrued revenues from the project and the cumulative investments as defined in the Law. A minimum levy of 20% is levied at the stage where the R factor ratio reaches 1.5, and when the ratio increases, the levy will increase gradually until the maximum rate of 50% until the ratio reaches 2.3. In addition, it was determined that the rate of the levy as stated will be reduced starting in 2017 by multiplying 0.64 by the difference between the corporate tax rate prescribed in section 126 of the Income Tax Ordinance for each tax year and the tax rate of 18%. In accordance with the corporate tax rate from 2018 onwards, the maximum rate will be 46.8%.

In addition, additional provisions were prescribed regarding the levy, inter alia, the levy is recognised as an expense for the purpose of calculating income tax; the limits of the levy shall not include export facilities; the levy will be calculated and imposed for each reservoir separately (Ring Fencing); payment by the owner of an oil right calculated as a percentage

NOTE 6: -     Taxation (Cont.)

of the oil produced, the recipient of the payment will be liable to pay a levy according to the amount of the payment received, and this amount will be subtracted from the amount of the levy owed by the holder of the oil right. The Law also sets rules for the unification or separation or consolidation of oil projects for the purposes of the Law. In accordance with the provisions of the Law, the Group is not yet required to pay any payment in respect of the said levy, and therefore no liability has been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this payment.
