STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The directors present their strategic report on NFE Nanook UK Ltd (the "Company") for the year ended 31 December 2022.
On 15 August 2022, certain affiliates of New Fortress Energy Inc. (“NFE” or collectively, the "Sellers") closed a sales and financing transaction (the “Transaction”) with AP Neptune Holdings Ltd. ("Purchaser"), which is affiliated with certain funds or investment vehicles managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management Inc., pursuant to which (1) the Sellers and the Purchaser formed a joint venture, Energos Infrastructure ("Energos"), (2) the Sellers agreed to sell to the Purchaser the Golar Nanook, and (3) the Purchaser contributed the Golar Nanook to Energos. Concurrent with closing the transaction, the ownership of the subsidiaries of Golar LNG Partners LP (including the Company) was transferred to Energos, which is now effectively the Company's new ultimate parent.
The principal activity of the Company is that of a chartering company that charters the floating storage and regasification unit called the Golar Nanook. The Company entered into a bareboat charter agreement with Golar FSRU8 Corporation in 2018. The Company was subsequently able to enter into a long-term charter contract with Centrais Eletricas de Sergipe S.A. ("CELSE") which commenced in May 2019. CELSE is a company that operates a combined cycle power plant in Brazil and delivers power to 26 committed off-takers for 25 years following completion of its construction in March 2020 in accordance with previously executed Power Purchase Agreement contract awarded by the Brazilian Government in 2015. In March 2020, the Golar Nanook commenced its 25-year charter with CELSE under a sales-type finance lease. During the year ended 31 December 2021 the Company changed its name to NFE Nanook UK LTD.
The profit for the financial year amounted to $896,671 (2021: $660,043).
The directors do not recommend payment of a dividend for the year ended 31 December 2022 (2021: $Nil). Review of business and future developments The results for the year and financial position at the end of the year were considered in line with the expectations and satisfaction of the directors. The directors do not foresee any changes in the Company’s principal activity in the future. In connection with the Transaction, the Company continues to operate its vessel successfully under a long-term charter.
In accordance with Section 172(1) (a) to (f) of the Companies Act 2006, the Company's directors consider, both individually and collectively, that they have acted in a way they consider would be most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole. This duty has been central to the decision-making processes and outcomes over many years. In performing their duties during the year the directors have had regard to the need to act fairly as between members of the Company. In order to achieve this the directors receive information to enable them to consider the impact of the Company's decisions on its key stakeholders and acknowledge that not every decision will result in a positive outcome for all of our stakeholders. By considering the Company's values, vision and strategy, the directors do however aim to balance different interests of our stakeholders. Further details of engagement with suppliers, customers and others can be found in the Directors Report.
As of 31 December 2022, the Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Energos, which is the Company’s new ultimate undertaking and controlling party, is an overseas company incorporated in the Marshall Islands. As of 31 December 2022, risks are principally managed by Energos for the group as a whole. The principal risks and uncertainties of Energos are discussed in its annual report and financial statements.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The Company monitors cash flow as part of the day to day controls. The Company's exposure to foreign exchange risk is limited to a small number of overseas suppliers, which the Company does not hedge against. The majority of the Company’s revenue and expenses are in the same currency, i.e. the US dollar. There is no material exposure in respect of trade and other receivables, as is typical in the shipping industry hire for the Company’s vessel is contractually required to be paid by the charterers in advance. The charterer’s contract contain rights under which the Company may cancel trading arrangements should non-payment occur.
The operations of the Company are managed on a group basis by the Company's ultimate parent, which prior to the Transaction was NFE. Subsequently to the completion of the Transaction, financial Key Performance Indicators ("KPIs") are managed by the new ultimate parent, Energos. For this reason, the Company's directors believe that an analysis using KPIs for the Company is not necessary or appropriate for an understanding of the development, performance or position of the business of the Company. The development, performance and position of the group is discussed in the group's annual report.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NFE NANOOK UK LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of NFE Nanook UK Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2022, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Statement of financial position, the Statement of changes in equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NFE NANOOK UK LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
∙Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims;
∙Enquiry of management and those charged with governance to identify any material instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations;
∙Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
∙Performing audit work to address the risk of irregularities due to management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for evidence of bias.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' report.
This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Contracts relating to our vessel can take the form of an operating lease, finance lease and operating and services agreement. Although the substance of these contracts are similar, the accounting treatment varies. To determine whether a contract conveys a lease agreement for a period of time, we assess whether, throughout the period of use, the customer has both of the following:
• fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets; and • the right to direct the use of that identified asset. If a contract relating to an asset fails to give the customer both of the above rights, we account for the agreement as a revenue contract. A contract relating to an asset will generally be accounted for as a revenue contract if the customer does not contract for substantially all of the capacity of the asset (i.e. another third party could contract for a meaningful amount of the asset capacity). A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. Otherwise it is classed as an operating lease. Where we provide services unrelated to an asset contract, such as operating and service agreement, we account for the services as a revenue contract. The company recognises revenue on these service as the service is performed over the charter term. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents the amount receivable for goods supplied or services rendered, net of returns, discounts and rebates allowed by the company and value added taxes.
In making the classification assessment, we estimate the residual value of the underlying asset at the end of the lease term with reference to broker valuations. None of our lease contracts contain residual value guarantees and purchase options. Agreements with renewal and termination options in the control of the lessee are included together with the non-cancellable contract period in the lease term when “reasonably certain” to be exercised or if controlled by the lessor. The determination of reasonably certain depends on whether the lessee has an economic incentive to exercise the option. Generally, lease accounting commences when the asset is made available to the customer, however, where the contract contains specific customer acceptance testing conditions, lease accounting will not commence until the asset has successfully passed the acceptance test. We assess a lease under the modification guidance when there is change to the terms and conditions of the contract that results in a change in the scope or the consideration of the lease.
Costs directly associated with the execution of the lease or costs incurred after lease inception or the execution of the contract but prior to the commencement of the lease that directly relate to preparing the asset for the lease (i.e. bunker costs), are capitalized and amortised to the statement of comprehensive income over the lease term. We also defer upfront revenue payments (i.e. repositioning fees) to the statement of financial position and amortise to the statement of comprehensive income over the lease term.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
2.Accounting policies (continued)
On inception of a finance lease for which we are lessor, we record a financial receivable - "Net investment in leased vessel” on our statement of financial position. The net investment in leased vessel represents the aggregate of the minimum lease payments receivable by the lessor under a finance lease; and any unguaranteed residual value accruing to the lessor, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. Gains and losses on recognition of the Net Investment in leased vessel are determined by comparing the net investment in leased vessel with the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and any related tangible asset. This is recognised within 'other non-operating income' in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. We allocate finance lease income to the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the "Turnover” line item to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on our finance lease investment, with payments apportioned between capital repayment and finance charge.
Lease arrangements that transfer substantially all risks and rewards of the asset leased out are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at commencement of the lease as assets at the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, the present value of the minimum fixed leased payments calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease. Variable payments are recognised as incurred. Where the implicit rate cannot be determined, the group’s incremental borrowing rate is used. Incremental direct costs, incurred in negotiating and arranging the lease, are included in the cost of the asset.
The capital element of lease obligations is recorded as a liability on inception of the arrangement. Lease payments are presented in "Cost of sales" line item in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and are apportioned between capital repayment and finance charge, using the effective interest rate method, to produce a constant rate of charge on the balance of the capital repayments outstanding.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company has elected to apply the recognition and measurement provisions of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as adopted by the UK Endorsement Board) with the disclosure requirements of Sections 11 and 12 and the other presentation requirements of FRS 102.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after the deduction of all its liabilities. Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price after transaction costs. When this constitutes a financing transaction the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade payables are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. Derecognition of financial assets Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained. Derecognition of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
The Company discloses transactions with related parties which are not wholly owned within the same Group. Where appropriate, transactions of a similar nature are aggregated unless, in the opinion of the directors, separate disclosure is necessary to understand the effect of the transactions on the financial statements.
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements: Judgments around back-to-back finance lease arrangements The Company has entered in to back-to-back finance leases in relation to the vessel Golar Nanook. Based on facts and circumstances, management applied judgment in evaluating the most appropriate accounting treatment depicting this transaction in the entity’s financial statements. In its assessment, management has considered the exposure to credit risk with its counterparty, indemnifications in respect of the bareboat charter and the additional services provided in respect of the vessel. It concluded that head-lease and sub-lease entered into had to be accounted for separately, although entered into at or near the same and in contemplation of each other. The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur. Estimation of lease obligation Estimating the lease obligation requires determining the minimum lease payments payable under the lease arrangement. Lease payments to the Golar FSRU 8 Corporation are impacted by the operating costs incurred by the entity. Management has made assumptions to determine the reasonable operating costs expected to be incurred, and computed the minimum lease payments to be made across the lease period.
