UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT
Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts.
We desire to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. This report and any other written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. When used in this report, the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate” “forecast,” “project” "plan," “potential,” “will," “may,” “should,” “expect” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. As a result, you are cautioned not to rely on any forward-looking statements.
In addition to these important factors and matters discussed elsewhere herein, important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include among other things:
•our inability and that of our counterparty to meet our respective obligations under the Lease and Operate Agreement entered into in connection with the BP Greater Tortue / Ahmeyim Project (“Gimi GTA Project”);
•continuing uncertainty resulting from potential future claims from our counterparties of purported force majeure under contractual arrangements, including but not limited to our construction projects (including the Gimi GTA Project) and other contracts to which we are a party;
•our ability to formalize a settlement agreement with authorities regarding tax benefits previously obtained under certain of our leasing agreements;
•changes in our ability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms or at all;
•claims made or losses incurred in connection with our continuing obligations with regard to Hygo Energy Transition Ltd (“Hygo”) and Golar LNG Partners LP (“Golar Partners”);
•the ability of Hygo, Golar Partners and New Fortress Energy, Inc. (“NFE”) to meet their respective obligations to us, including indemnification obligations;
•changes in our ability to retrofit vessels as floating storage and regasification units (“FSRUs”) or floating liquefaction natural gas vessels (“FLNGs”) and in our ability to obtain financing for such conversions on acceptable terms or at all;
•the length and severity of outbreaks of pandemics, including the recent worldwide outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and its impact on demand for liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) and natural gas, the timing of completion of our conversion projects, the operations of our charterers, our global operations and our business in general;
•failure of our contract counterparties to comply with their agreements with us or other key project stakeholders;
•changes in LNG carrier, FSRU, or FLNG including charter rates, vessel values or technological advancements;
•our vessel values and any future impairment charges we may incur;
•our ability to close potential future sales of additional equity interests in our vessels, including the Hilli Episeyo (“Hilli”) and FLNG Gimi on a timely basis or at all;

You should read the following discussion and analysis together with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. For additional information relating to our operating and financial review and prospects, including definitions of certain terms used herein, please see our annual report on Form 20-F, (our "2020 Form 20-F") for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was filed with the Commission on April 22, 2021.
Overview
We provide infrastructure for the liquefaction, transportation, regasification and downstream distribution of LNG. We are engaged in the acquisition, ownership, operation and chartering of FLNGs, FSRUs and LNG carriers. We also operate vessels on behalf of third parties under management agreements.
Recent and Other Developments
In addition to the other information set forth in this Report on Form 6-K, please see “Item 5 - Operating and financial review and prospects - Significant Developments in Early 2021” of our 2020 Form 20-F.
Since June 30, 2021, certain recent and other developments that have occurred are as follows:
UK tax lease settlement
We have recently reopened discussions with HMRC and are now confident of our position towards a potential settlement. As such at June 30, 2021, we have revised our estimate of the reasonably possible loss and recorded a $73.3 million liability, net of amounts paid by our lessor to HMRC and including contingent fees payable contemporaneous with the settlement. Any eventual net cash outflow will be classified as a financing cash outflow given it is deemed to represent additional interest due to the lessor under the now-terminated leasing arrangements. R efer to Note 20, Other commitments and contingencies' of our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein, for further details.
Golar Tundra put option extension
In August 2021, we signed an agreement to extend the Golar Tundra's put option maturity to January 2022 if our 2017 Convertible Bonds are not refinanced or repaid by that date. Otherwise, the Golar Tundra Facility matures in June 2022. We have also received indicative financing terms for an alternative refinancing of the Golar Tundra Facility.
Hilli increased capacity utilization
In July 2021, we signed an agreement with Perenco Cameroon (“Perenco”) and Société Nationale des Hydrocarbures (“SNH”) to increase the utilization of Hilli (“the Agreement”). Commencing in January 2022, the capacity utilization of Hilli will increase by 200,000 tons of LNG, bringing total utilization in 2022 to 1.4 million tons. The tolling fee for the 2022 incremental capacity is to be linked to European gas prices at the Dutch Title Transfer Facility (“TTF”). Under the Agreement, Perenco and SNH were granted an option (“Option”) to increase capacity utilization of Hilli by up to 400,000 tons of LNG per year from January 2023 through to the end of the current contract term in 2026, which must be declared during the third quarter of 2022. This has the potential to increase total annual LNG production from Hilli to 1.6 million tons from January 2023 onwards.
Operating and Financial Review
On April 15, 2021, we completed the disposals of Golar Partners (“GMLP Merger”) and Hygo (“Hygo Merger”). Prior to the
3

GMLP and Hygo Mergers, we operated in four reportable segments, “Vessel and other operations, “FLNG,” “Power” and “Corporate and other.” We consider the disposal of our interest in Hygo as our exit from our Power operations and hence ceased to consider Power as a reportable segment (as defined under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”)) with effect from the first quarter of 2021. Consequently, management deems that we provide three distinct services and operate in the following three reportable segments: “Shipping”, “FLNG” and “Corporate and other". See Note 4 “Segment Information” of the consolidated interim financial statements included herein for additional information on our segments.
The following details the operating results for our reportable segments for the six months period ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

(1) Average Time Charter Equivalent, or TCE, is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the section of this report entitled "Non-GAAP Measures" for a discussion of TCE.
Total operating revenues: Total operating revenues decreased by $0.9 million to $104.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $105.6 million for the same period in 2020 due to reduction in daily charterhire rates. Our fleet's utilization for the six months ended June 30, 2021 improved compared to the same period in 2020, at 98% with 40 commercial waiting days versus 94% with 105 commercial waiting days, respectively.
4

Average daily TCE: Average daily TCE was $52,700 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, is marginally lower with the same period in 2020, over which period average daily TCE was $53,600. The majority of our shipping fleet is operating in our Cool Pool arrangement (“Cool Pool”).
Vessel operating expenses: Vessel operating expenses increased by $3.1 million to $30.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $27.8 million for the same period in 2020, primarily due to a $2.5 million insurance receipt in relation to the LNG Croatia in 2020. There are no comparable LNG Croatia amounts in 2021 as the vessel was sold to LNG Hrvatska in December 2020.
Voyage, charterhire and commission expenses: Voyage, charterhire and commission expenses largely relate to charterhire expenses, fuel costs associated with commercial waiting time and vessel positioning costs. While a vessel is on-hire, fuel costs are typically paid by the charterer, whereas during periods of commercial waiting time, fuel costs are paid by us. The increase of $3.0 million in voyage, charterhire and commission expenses to $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $6.4 million for the same period in 2020, was mainly due to the following:
•$3.5 million increase in voyage expenses relating to the chartering of an external vessel, which we have subsequently chartered out contributing to our total operating revenues; and
•$1.0 million increase in bunker consumption in relation to the Golar Ice due to 34 days of commercial waiting time during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to full utilization during the same period in 2020.
The increase in voyage, charterhire and commission expenses was partially offset by $1.5 million reduction of fuel consumption by the LNG Croatia prior to the vessel's entry into the shipyard for conversion to a FSRU in January 2020.
Administrative expenses: Administrative expenses decreased by $0.7 million to $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2020, mainly due to ongoing cost reduction measures resulting in a decrease in professional fees.
Other operating income: Other operating income of $2.8 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, relates to loss of hire insurance receipts for the Golar Ice and Golar Bear, respectively.
FLNG segment

| Six months ended June 30, |  |
(in thousands of $) | 2021 | 2020 | Change | % Change
Total operating revenues | 110,134 |  | 109,048 |  | 1,086 |  | 1 | %
Vessel operating expenses | (26,046) |  | (26,971) |  | 925 |  | (3 | %)

Adjusted EBITDA | 85,690 |  | 82,620 |  | 3,070 |  | 4 | %

Total operating revenues: Total operating revenues increased by $1.1 million to $110.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $109.0 million for the same period in 2020, due to overproduction revenue recognized in 2021. No overproduction revenue was recognized for the same period in 2020.
Vessel operating expenses: Vessel operating expenses decreased by $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to a decrease of $3.1 million in crew costs following logistical restrictions brought about by COVID-19, partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in the purchase of consumables, spares and repair and maintenance costs.
Project development expenses: Project development expenses relates to FLNG front-end engineering design (FEED) study for Mark III. The decrease of $0.7 million to $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1.4 million in 2020, is due to completion of phase one of the FEED study for Mark III in 2020. We are currently in phase two of the FEED study for Mark III.
5

Realized gains on oil derivative instrument: Realized gains on the oil derivative instrument, based on a three-month look-back at average Brent crude oil prices above the base tolling fee under the Hilli Liquefaction Tolling Agreement (“LTA”), increased by $0.4 million to $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2020, due to an increase in the Brent crude oil prices.
Corporate and other segment

| Six months ended June 30, |  |
(in thousands of $, except average daily TCE) (1) | 2021 | 2020 | Change | % Change
Total operating revenues | 15,281 |  | 10,181 |  | 5,100 |  | 50 | %
Vessel operating expenses | (5,181) |  | 291 |  | (5,472) |  | (1,880 | %)
Voyage, charterhire and commission expenses | (41) |  | — |  | (41) |  | 100 | %
Administrative expenses | (17,887) |  | (17,158) |  | (729) |  | 4 | %
Project development expenses | (149) |  | (3,472) |  | 3,323 |  | (96 | %)
Adjusted EBITDA | (7,977) |  | (10,158) |  | 2,181 |  | (21 | %)

Total operating revenues: Total operating revenues increased by $5.1 million to $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $10.2 million for the same period in 2020. This was principally due to:
•$5.4 million increase in vessel management fees from the Operation and Maintenance Agreement (“O&M Agreement”) with LNG Hrvatska, which commenced in January 2021;
•Partially offset by $0.5 million decrease in vessel management fees relating to incremental administrative services fees charged to our former affiliates, Golar Partners and Hygo.
Vessel operating expenses: Vessel operating expenses increased by $5.5 million to $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $0.3 million credit for the same period in 2020, primarily due to costs associated to the O&M Agreement on the LNG Croatia of $5.1 million.
Administrative expenses: Administrative expenses increased by $0.7 million to $17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $17.2 million for the same period in 2020, mainly due to:
•$2.1 million increase in corporate expenses including legal and professional fees, audit fees and employee related costs as a result of one-off redundancy costs from a corporate overhead streamlining exercise.
Partially offset by decreases of:
•$0.5 million decrease in travel expenses given COVID-19 travel restrictions; and
•$0.8 million decrease in share options expenses as most of our share options had fully vested in February 2021.
Project development expenses: Project development expenses decreased by $3.3 million to $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2020, mainly due to non-recurring 2020 expense related to strategic initiatives and corporate simplification, consisting of $2.3 million of professional, legal and consultancy costs.

Other results
The following details our other consolidated results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

| Six months ended June 30, |  |
(in thousands of $) | 2021 | 2020 | Change | % Change
Depreciation and amortization | (52,999) |  | (54,222) |  | 1,223 |  | (2 | %)

Net income/(loss) from discontinued operations | 568,164 |  | (177,040) |  | 745,204 |  | (421 | %)
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests | (73,642) |  | (45,205) |  | (28,437) |  | 63 | %

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization decreased by $1.2 million to $53.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $54.2 million for the same period in 2020, due to:
•$0.2 million decrease in LNG Croatia's depreciation which relates to depreciation prior to her entry into the shipyard for conversion to a FSRU. There was no comparable charge in 2021 following her disposal in December 2020; and
•$0.2 million decrease in the Golar Tundra's depreciation following completion of her drydock in 2020.
Unrealized gain/(loss) on the oil derivative instrument: Unrealized gain/(loss) on the oil derivative instrument relates to the mark-to-market movement on the fair value of the oil derivative instrument, determined using the estimated discounted cash flows of the additional payments due to us as a result of oil prices moving above a contractual oil price floor over the remaining term of the LTA. The unrealized gain/(loss) on the oil derivative instrument increased by $120.8 million to a gain of $81.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a loss of $39.6 million for the same period in 2020, due to improvements in the forecasted oil prices over the remaining term of the LTA as the oil price is gradually recovering to pre-pandemic levels.
Other non-operating losses, net: Other non-operating losses, net, consists of two components for the six months ended June 30, 2021:
•$86.7 million unrealized mark-to-market loss on our NFE shares which we received as consideration for the Hygo Merger;
•$73.3 million provided for in relation to the settlement of the UK tax lease inquiry with HMRC (note 20); and
•partially offset by $1.9 million of dividend receivable from NFE.
Interest income: Interest income decreased by $1.3 million to $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the returns on our fixed deposits that had been made during the six months ended June 30, 2021, and a decrease in the income derived from the lending capital of our lessor VIEs, which we are required to consolidate under U.S. GAAP.
Interest expense: Interest expense decreased by $9.0 million to $29.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $38.0 million for the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to:
•$7.0 million decrease in interest expense arising on the loan facilities of our consolidated lessor VIEs;
•$2.5 million decrease in interest expense relating to the refinancing of the Golar Bear facility with AVIC International Leasing Company Limited (“AVIC”) and the repayments in 2020 of the Golar Viking facility and the Margin Loan facility; and
7

•$1.1 million decrease in amortization of deferred financing costs following repayments of the Golar Viking facility and the Margin Loan facility in 2020, and the amendments of our four vessels leased with ICBC Finance Leasing Co. Ltd (“ICBCL”) in 2021.
This decrease in interest expense was partially offset by $3.5 million decrease in capitalized interest on borrowing costs in relation to our qualifying investments in Hygo (subsequently disposed of) and Avenir, as Hygo's Sergipe Power Plant commenced operations in late March 2020, and Avenir's first vessel was delivered in October 2020, resulting in the cessation of capitalizing interest.
Gains/(losses) on derivative instruments: Gains on derivative instruments increased by $66.3 million to a gain of $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a loss of $49.9 million for the same period in 2020. This change was primarily due to:
Net realized and unrealized gains/(losses) on interest rate swap agreements: As of June 30, 2021, we have an interest rate swap portfolio with a notional amount of $480.0 million, none of which are designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Net unrealized gains on the interest rate swaps was $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to an unrealized loss of $44.7 million for the same period in 2020. The gain was due to (i) the increase in the long-term swap rates and (ii) a decrease in the notional value of our swap portfolio which was partially offset by fair value adjustments reflecting our creditworthiness and that of our counterparties for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Realized gains/(losses) on our interest rate swaps resulted in a loss of $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a loss of $1.3 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to higher LIBOR for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Unrealized losses on total return swap (or equity swap): In December 2014, we established a three-month facility for a Stock Indexed Total Return Swap Program or Equity Swap Line with DNB Bank ASA in connection with a share buyback scheme. In February 2020, we repurchased the remaining 1.5 million of our shares and 0.1 million of Golar Partners' units underlying the equity swap which terminated the Total Return Swap Program. The equity swap derivatives mark-to-market adjustment resulted in a net loss of $5.1 million recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2020. There was no comparable cost in 2021.
Other financial items, net: Gains on other financial items, net increased by $0.3 million to a gain of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $nil for the same period in 2020. The movement was due to a $0.5 million increase in amortization of debt guarantee, offset by unfavorable foreign exchange movements.
Net income/(loss) from discontinued operations:

| Six months ended June 30, |  |
(in thousands of $) | 2021 | 2020 | Change | % Change
Share of net earnings/(losses) of Golar Partners | 8,116 |  | (147,015) |  | 155,131 |  | (106) | %
Share of net losses of Hygo | (15,008) |  | (30,025) |  | 15,017 |  | (50) | %
Gain on disposal of investments in affiliates | 575,056 |  | — |  | 575,056 |  | 100 | %
Net income/(loss) from discontinued operations | 568,164 |  | (177,040) |  | 745,204 |  | 421 | %

On April 15, 2021, we completed the disposal of our interests in Golar Partners and Hygo to NFE. The net income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 consists of our share of earnings/(losses) from discontinued operations until April 15, 2021 and the resultant gain on disposal of our investments in affiliates of $575.1 million, which represents the excess consideration over the book value of investments in affiliates disposed.
As of June 30, 2020, we held a 32.2% ownership interest in Golar Partners (including our 2% general partner interest) and 100% of the incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”). Given the duration and the extent of the suppressed unit price of Golar Partners, we concluded that the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of our equity accounted investment was no longer temporary and recognized an impairment of $135.9 million on June 30, 2020.
8

As of June 30, 2020, we held a 50.0% ownership interest in Hygo. Our share in net losses of Hygo principally relates to trading activities of the Golar Celsius and the Golar Penguin operating as LNG carriers and the performance of the Sergipe power plant, including the Golar Nanook operating as a FSRU, regasifying LNG for the Sergipe power plant. The decrease in our share of net losses in Hygo was mainly driven by our share of the one-off non-cash loss on the deemed disposal of the Golar Nanook following the commencement of her 25-year sales type lease under U.S. GAAP with CELSE in 2020. There was no comparable loss in 2021.
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests: Net income attributable to non-controlling interests increased by $28.4 million to $73.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $45.2 million for the same period in 2020.
The net income attributable to non-controlling interests is comprised of:
•$4.2 million income and $9.0 million loss in relation to the non-controlling shareholders which hold interests in Gimi MS for the periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase is mainly due to the unrealized gains on the interest rate swaps as a result of improved long-term swap rates;
•$36.4 million and $18.4 million income in relation to the non-controlling shareholders which hold interests in Golar Hilli LLC ("Hilli LLC") for the periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase is mainly due to unrealized gain/(loss) on the oil derivative instrument following recent recovery of oil prices; and
•$33.0 million and $35.8 million income in relation to the equity interests in our lessor VIEs for the periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our short-term liquidity requirements are primarily for the servicing of debt, working capital, potential investments in affiliates and conversion project related commitments due within the next 12 months. We may require additional working capital for the continued operation of our vessels in the spot market, which is dependent upon vessel employment and fuel costs incurred during idle time. We remain responsible for the manning and technical management of our vessels within the Cool Pool, including the LNGCs and FSRUs fleet acquired by NFE.
As of June 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash and short-term deposits) of $338.5 million, of which $131.3 million is restricted cash. Included within restricted cash is $60.7 million in respect of the issuance of the letter of credit from a financial institution to our project partner involved in the Hilli, $11.3 million in respect of the O&M Agreement as part of the sale of LNG Croatia, $3.1 million in relation to interest rate swaps, with the balance mainly relating to the cash belonging to lessor VIEs that we are required to consolidate under U.S. GAAP. Refer to note 11 “Restricted Cash and Short-term Deposits” of our consolidated interim financial statements included herein for additional details.
We may from time to time repurchase our 2017 Convertible Bonds in privately negotiated transactions and upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine. We will evaluate any such transactions in light of then-existing market conditions, taking into account our current liquidity and prospects for future access to capital. The repurchases may be material and could relate to a substantial proportion of our 2017 Convertible Bonds.
Since June 30, 2021, certain transactions impacting our cash flows include:
Payments of:
•$2.8 million of scheduled loan and interest repayments;
•$6.7 million in relation to the share repurchase program;
•$60.0 million prepayment of our ICBCL sale and leaseback facilities; and
•$1.8 million of additions to the asset under development.
Receipts of:
•$1.9 million receipt of dividends in relation to our shareholding in NFE; and
•$0.1 million release of restricted cash relating to interest rate swaps.

Borrowing activities
Golar Bear Facility
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we drew down $10.0 million from the Golar Bear facility. The facility is now fully drawn, has a term of seven years and bears a fixed interest rate of 4.64%.
Security, debt and lease restrictions
Certain of our financing agreements are collateralized by vessel mortgages and, in the case of some debt, pledges of shares by each guarantor subsidiary. The existing financing agreements impose operating and financing restrictions which may significantly limit or prohibit, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, sell capital shares of subsidiaries, make certain investments, engage in mergers and acquisitions, purchase and sell vessels, enter into time charters or consecutive voyage charters or pay dividends without the consent of the relevant lenders. In addition, lenders may accelerate the maturity of indebtedness under existing financing agreements and foreclose upon the collateral securing the indebtedness upon the occurrence of certain events of default, including a failure to comply with any of these existing covenants contained in the financing agreements. Many of our debt agreements contain certain covenants, which require compliance with certain financial ratios. Such ratios include maintaining a positive working capital ratio, tangible net worth covenant and minimum free cash restrictions. With regards to cash restrictions, we have agreed to retain at least $50 million of cash and cash equivalents on a consolidated group basis at each balance sheet date. In addition, as of June 30, 2021, there are cross default provisions in certain of our, Golar Partners' and Hygo's loan and lease agreements.
Refer to note 1 of our consolidated interim financial statements included herein for our going concern assessment.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period | 338,540 | 265,196 | 73,344 | 28%

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $64.8 million to $110.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $45.9 million for the same period in 2020, mainly due to:
•$6.0 million reduction of dry docking costs paid for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, due to the timing of the scheduled dry-docks; and
•the improvement in the general timing of working capital for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, driven by on-going cost saving measures.
Net cash used in continuing investing activities of $165.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is comprised of:
•$168.4 million additions to asset under development relating to payments made in respect of the conversion of the Gimi;
•$8.6 million additional equity contribution to our investment in Avenir; and
•partially offset by the $12.8 million proceeds from Keppel's 30% subscription of additional equity interest in Gimi MS.
Net cash used in continuing investing activities of $166.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is comprised of:
•additions of $155.2 million to assets under development relating to payments made in respect of the conversion of the
10

Gimi and the Golar Viking; and
•$8.0 million additional equity contribution to our investment in Avenir.
Net cash provided by discontinued investing activities of $122.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is comprised of:
•$121.6 million net proceeds from disposals of equity accounted investments, Golar Partners and Hygo; and
•$0.5 million dividends received from Golar Partners.
Net cash provided by discontinued investing activities of $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is comprised of:
•$40.0 million receipts from Golar Partners for repayment of the loans advanced in February and May 2020;
•$9.2 million of dividends received from Golar Partners;
•partially offset by $40.0 million short term-loans advanced to Golar Partners in February and May 2020; and
•$2.4 million of additions to our investment in Hygo (subsequently disposed of).
Net cash used in financing activities was $19.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and arose principally due to debt proceeds drawn down of:
•$110.0 million collectively representing the fifth and sixth draw downs under the $700 million Gimi facility; and
•$11.4 million in borrowings made by our lessor VIE's (see note 10 "Variable Interest Entities" of our consolidated interim financial statements included herein).
These financing receipts were offset by:
•$103.0 million of scheduled debt repayments which includes repayments made by our lessor VIE's;
•$16.7 million dividend payment in relation to Hilli LLC;
•$17.8 million payment in relation to the share repurchase program; and
•$3.8 million financing costs paid predominately in relation to the Gimi facility.
Net cash used in financing activities was $31.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and arose primarily due to:
•scheduled debt repayments of $382.5 million, which includes repayments made by our lessor VIE's (see note 10 "Variable Interest Entities" of our consolidated interim financial statements included herein);
•prepayment of $70.0 million on the principal balance on the Margin Loan facility in March 2020;
•payment of $59.3 million to settle the outstanding principal following the Golar Bear refinancing in June 2020.
•payment of $16.7 million to repurchase the shares and units underlying our equity swap in February 2020;
•payment of dividends of $9.8 million in relation to Hilli LLC; and
•financing costs of $4.3 million predominately in relation to the Golar Viking and Gimi facilities.
This was partially offset by debt proceeds drawn down of:
•$95.0 million representing the third draw down under the $700 million Gimi facility; and
•$416.4 million in relation to borrowings made by our lessor VIE's (see note 10 "Variable Interest Entities" of our consolidated interim financial statements included herein).

GOLAR LNG LIMITED
CONDENSED NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL
Golar LNG Limited (the “Company” or “Golar”) was incorporated in Hamilton, Bermuda on May 10, 2001 for the purpose of acquiring the liquefied natural gas (“LNG") shipping interests of Osprey Maritime Limited, which was owned by World Shipholding Limited.
As of June 30, 2021, our fleet comprises of nine LNG carriers, one Floating Storage Regasification Unit (“FSRU”) and three Floating Liquefaction Natural Gas vessels (“FLNGs”) (including one vessel under conversion to a FLNG and one vessel earmarked for conversion to a FLNG). We also operate vessels on behalf of third parties under management agreements.
We are listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the symbol: “GLNG”.
As used herein and unless otherwise required by the context, the terms “Golar”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” and words of similar import refer to Golar or any one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or to all such entities.
Going concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
To ensure we have the necessary liquidity to satisfy our anticipated capital expenditures, scheduled repayments of long and short-term debts, debt facilities’ written put options, financing costs and working capital requirements over the next 12 months, we are in ongoing discussions with various financial institutions. The main items that management considered from a liquidity standpoint were:
•our ability to monetize assets, including but not limited to, the 18.6 million shares of Class A NFE common stock (“NFE Shares”) that we own, the risk of fluctuations in the NFE share price and the impact on our financing plans;
•the $100.0 million Revolving Credit Facility due in December 2021;
•the $98.9 million Golar Seal Facility's put option due to expire in January 2022;
•the $402.5 million 2017 Convertible Bonds due in February 2022; and
•the refinancing of the Golar Tundra Facility, which has a put option for $101.1 million that would become exercisable in January 2022 were the 2017 Convertible Bonds not refinanced by that date, otherwise the Golar Tundra Facility matures in June 2022.
While we believe it is probable that we will be able to obtain the necessary funds and have a track record of successfully refinancing our existing debt requirements, obtaining put option extensions, monetizing existing assets and sourcing new funding, primarily as a result of the strong fundamentals in relation to our assets (including contracted cash flows and existing leverage ratios), we cannot be certain that these will be executed in time or at all. Global financial markets and economic conditions have been and continue to be volatile, particularly with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, we continue to have productive discussions with financiers, and believe that these developments are not likely to have a material adverse effect on our ability to refinance existing debt requirements, obtain put option extensions, monetize existing assets and source new funding.
Further, if market and economic conditions were to be favorable, we may also consider in conjunction with the refinancing of existing loans, further issuances of corporate debt or equity to increase our liquidity to meet maturing obligations. To this aim, our management continually reviews sources of funding for our medium and long-term obligations, which include a combination of new loans, refinancing of existing arrangements, public and private debt or equity offerings, and potential asset sales.
Accordingly, we believe that based on our plans, as outlined above, we will have sufficient resources to satisfy our obligations in the ordinary course of business for at least the next 12 months as of August 11, 2021. To gauge our liquidity headroom under these plans, including our ability to continue to comply with relevant covenants, we have performed stress testing with respect to forecasted cash positions under various scenarios, which include using assumptions such as reasonably possible downwards movements in the NFE share price and significantly reduced revenue contributions from our fleet for uncontracted periods
19

without commensurate reduction in operating costs, and accordingly are confident in our ability to meet our obligations when falling due.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of accounting
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required under U.S. GAAP in the annual consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with our audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, which are included in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 22, 2021 (the “2020 Form 20-F”).
Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are consistent with those followed in the preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, except for those disclosed in note 3 that did not have any material impact on the interim information for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Held-for-sale assets and disposal group
Individual assets or disposal groups to be disposed of, by sale or otherwise, are classified as held-for-sale if all of the following criteria are met at the period end:
•management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the assets, subsidiaries or affiliates;
•the asset, subsidiaries or affiliates are available for immediate sale in its (their) present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for such sales;
•an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated;
•the sale is probable; and
•the transfer is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year.
The term probable refers to a future sale that is likely to occur, the asset or disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
A disposal group is classified as discontinued operations if the following criteria are met: (1) a component of an entity, group of components or equity accounted investments that has been disposed of by sale, disposed of other than by sale e.g. via distribution in kind to owners in a spinoff or is classified as held-for-sale that represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our financial results and operations, or (2) an acquired business or non-profit activity (the entity to be sold) that is classified as held-for-sale on acquisition.
Assets or disposal groups, held-for-sale are carried at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. As an exception, investments in associates classified as held for sale continue to be measured in accordance with ASC 323 “Investments - Equity Method and Joint Venture”. Upon classification as held-for-sale, the assets that are amortizable are no longer depreciated.
Gain or loss on disposals of held-for-sale assets are recognized as the difference between the fair value of consideration received and the carrying amount of the assets disposed.
Investments in listed equity securities
Investments in listed equity securities represents ownership interests of a publicly listed entity. Investments in listed equity securities are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reported in “Other non-operating losses, net” which is included in net income. We classify our investment in listed equity securities in the income statement as non-operating because it is not integrated with our operations therefore is non-operating in nature. We use quoted market prices to determine the fair value of listed equity securities with a readily determinable fair value, unless the presence of certain restrictions warrants the application
20

of a discount to fair value. We do not assess our investments in listed equity securities for impairment given they are carried at fair value.
We classify our investments in listed equity securities as current assets because the investment is available to be sold to meet liquidity needs if necessary, even if it is not the intention to dispose of the investment in the next twelve months.
Dividends received from our investments in listed equity securities are reflected as operating activities in the statement of cash flows (unless such distributions relate to a return of capital in which case it is reflected as an investing activity in the statement of cash flows).
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires that management make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of material contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In assessing the recoverability of our vessels’ carrying amounts, we make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows, estimates in respect of residual values, charter rates, ship operating expenses and drydocking requirements.
During the period ended June 30, 2021, as a result of COVID-19 and its impact on our operations, we considered whether indicators of impairment existed that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the vessels may not be recoverable as of June 30, 2021 and concluded that no such events or changes in circumstances had occurred to warrant a change in the assumptions utilized in the December 31, 2020 impairment tests of our vessels. We will continue to monitor developments in the markets in which we operate for indications that the carrying value of our vessels are not recoverable.
In relation to the oil derivative instrument, the fair value was determined using the estimated discounted cash flows of the additional payments due to us as a result of oil prices moving above a contractual oil price floor over the term of the Liquefaction Tolling Agreement (“LTA”). Significant inputs used in the valuation of the oil derivative instrument include management’s estimate of an appropriate discount rate and the length of time necessary to blend the long-term and short-term oil prices obtained from quoted prices in active markets. The changes in fair value of our oil derivative instrument are recognized in each period within "Realized and unrealized (loss)/gain on oil derivative instrument" as part of the consolidated statement of operations.
The realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on oil derivative instrument is as follows:

(in thousands of $) | Six months ended June 30,
| 2021 | 2020
Realized gain on oil derivative instrument | 2,975 |  | 2,539 |
Unrealized gain/(loss) on oil derivative instrument | 81,190 |  | (39,620) |
| 84,165 |  | (37,081) |

For further information on the nature of this derivative, refer to note 18. The unrealized gain results from movement in oil prices above a contractual floor price over the term of the LTA; whereas the realized gain results from monthly billings above the base tolling fee under the LTA.
Changes in presentation of equity in net losses of affiliates and investment in affiliates
On April 15, 2021, we have completed the GMLP and Hygo Merger (note 9). Previously, our share of earnings/(losses) in Golar Partners and Hygo and the associated carrying values of our investments in Golar Partners and Hygo were presented within “Equity in net losses of affiliates” and “Investment in affiliates”. Due to the completion of the GMLP and Hygo Merger, we have retrospectively presented our share of earnings/(losses) in Golar Partners and Hygo and the associated carrying values of our investments in Golar Partners and Hygo as net income/(loss) from discontinued operations and assets held for sale, respectively. In addition, we have retrospectively presented the cash flow activities arising from our held for sale investments as cash flows from discontinued operations. The changes in presentation for the prior periods are shown below:

3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Adoption of new accounting standards
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14 Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20). The amendments in this ASU remove some disclosure requirements and to introduce new ones including an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses relating to changes in the projected benefit obligation, plan assets to be returned to the entity and accumulated benefit obligation in excess of the fair value of related funding assets. These amendments to disclosures’ requirements are mandated for defined benefit plans from January 1, 2021. There was no impact resulting from these amendments on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures as presented in this interim set of accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU remove certain exceptions previously available and provides some additional calculation rules to help simplify the accounting for income taxes. These amendments are effective from January 1, 2021. There was no impact resulting from these amendments on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures as presented in this interim set of accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet adopted
The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting standards that have been issued but not yet adopted:

Standard | Description | Date of Adoption | Effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting and ASU 2021-01 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). | The amendments provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The applicable expedients for us are in relation to modifications of contracts within the scope of Topics 310, Receivables, 470, Debt, and 842, Leases. This optional guidance may be applied prospectively from any date beginning March 12, 2020 and cannot be applied to modifications that occur after December 31, 2022. | January 1, 2022 | Under evaluation
ASU 2020-06 Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Topic 470) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Topic 815). | The amendments simplify the issuer’s accounting for convertible instruments and its application of the equity classification guidance. The new guidance eliminates some of the existing models for assessing convertible instruments, which results in more instruments being recognized as a single unit of account on the balance sheet and expands disclosure requirements. The new guidance simplifies the assessment of contracts in an entity’s own equity and existing EPS guidance in ASC 260. | January 1, 2022 | Under evaluation
ASU 2021-04 Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging —Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). | The amendments clarify issuer’s recognition and measurement considerations resulting from exchanges or modifications of freestanding instruments (written call options) classified in equity. Such exchanges or modifications are treated as adjustments to the cost to raise debt, to the cost to raise equity or as share-based payments (ASC 718) when issued to compensate for goods or services. If not treated as costs of debt funding, equity funding or share-based payment, it results in an adjustment to EPS/net income/(loss). Holder's accounting is not affected by these amendments. | January 1, 2022 | Under evaluation
ASU 2021-05 Leases (Topic 842) – Lessors – Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments | The amendments apply only to lessors and require them to classify leases with variable lease payments that are not based on an index or rate as operating leases if they would have otherwise been classified as sales-type or direct financing leases and the lessor would have recognized a selling loss at lease commencement. There is no change to recognition of variable lease payments. Lessors can apply the amendments either prospectively or retrospectively with accompanying disclosures. | January 1, 2022 | Under evaluation

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION
In the 2020 Form 20-F, we changed the way in which we report and measure our reportable segments. The main driver of the change is the alignment of presentation and contents of financial information provided to our chief operating decision maker
23

(our Board of Directors), required to allocate resources, evaluate and manage both our standalone operating segments and our overall business performance. The key impacts are our segments' profit measure are now based on Adjusted EBITDA across our four reportable segments: Shipping; FLNG; Power and Corporate and other. Refer to note 6 to our consolidated financial statements filed with the 2020 Form 20-F for additional details.
In January 2021, following the board of directors' approvals of the GMLP Merger and Hygo Merger with NFE (note 9), we determined that our share of the net earnings/(losses) in Golar Partners and Hygo and the respective carrying values of our investments in affiliates have to be presented as net income/(loss) from discontinued operations and assets held for sale, respectively (note 9). Consequently, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, we ceased to consider Power as a reportable segment. Management has therefore concluded that we provide and operate three distinct reportable segments as follows:
•Shipping – This segment is based on the business activities of the transportation of LNG carriers. We operate and subsequently charter out LNG carriers on fixed terms to customers.
•FLNG – This segment is based on the business activities of FLNG vessels or projects. We convert LNG carriers into FLNG vessels and subsequently charter them out to customers. We currently have one operational FLNG, the Hilli, one undergoing conversion into a FLNG, the Gimi (note 13), and one LNG carrier earmarked for conversion, the Gandria.
•Corporate and other – This segment is based on the business activities of vessel management and administrative services and our corporate overhead costs.

(2) Customer billing during the commissioning period, prior to vessel acceptance and commencement of the contract term, of $33.8 million is considered an upfront payment for services. These amounts billed are deferred (included in “Other current liabilities” and “Other non-current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets) and recognized as part of “Liquefaction services revenue” in the consolidated statements of operations evenly over the contract term.
(3) The Day 1 gain was established when the oil derivative asset was initially recognized in December 2017 for $79.6 million (recognized in “Other current liabilities” and “Other non-current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets). This amount is amortized and recognized as part of “Liquefaction services revenue” in the consolidated statements of operations evenly over the contract term.

6. (LOSS)/EARNING PER SHARE
Basic (loss)/earning per share (“EPS”) is calculated with reference to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
The components of the numerator for the calculation of basic and diluted EPS are as follows:

(in thousands of $) | Six months ended June 30,
| 2021 | 2020
Net loss from continuing operations - basic and diluted | (71,367) |  | (82,841) |
Net income/(loss) from discontinued operations - basic and diluted | 568,164 |  | (177,040) |

The components of the denominator for the calculation of basic EPS are as follows:

(in thousands of $) | Six months ended June 30,
| 2021 | 2020
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding | 109,188 |  | 94,495 |

EPS are as follows:

9. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Golar Partners
On April 15, 2021, we completed the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “GMLP Merger Agreement”) with NFE, Golar GP LLC, the general partner of Golar Partners (the “General Partner”), Lobos Acquisition LLC, a limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of NFE (“GMLP Merger Sub”), and NFE International Holdings Limited, a private limited company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of NFE (“GP Buyer”). GMLP Merger Sub merged with and into Golar Partners (the “GMLP Merger”), with Golar Partners surviving the GMLP Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of NFE. Under the GMLP Merger Agreement, NFE acquired all of the outstanding common units of Golar Partners for $3.55 per unit in cash. The Golar Partners’ Series A preferred units remain outstanding and unaffected by the GMLP Merger.
Hygo
On April 15, 2021, we also completed the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Hygo Merger Agreement”) with NFE, Hygo, Stonepeak Infrastructure Fund II Cayman (G) Ltd., a fund managed by Stonepeak, and Lobos Acquisition Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of NFE (“Hygo Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, on April 15, 2021, Hygo Merger Sub merged with and into Hygo (the “Hygo Merger”), with Hygo surviving the Hygo Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of NFE. Under the terms of the Hygo Merger Agreement, NFE acquired all of the outstanding shares of Hygo for 31,372,549 Class A NFE common shares and $580 million in cash (of which we received consideration of $50 million in cash and 18,627,451 NFE Shares).
Gain on disposal of Golar Partners and Hygo
Gain on disposal of our investments in Golar Partners and Hygo to NFE is determined as follows:

(in thousands of $) | Period ended April 15, 2021
Consideration received from NFE (1)(2) | 876,277 |
Carrying value of disposed investments in affiliates(3) | (257,270) |
Realized accumulated comprehensive losses on disposal of investments in affiliates | (43,380) |
Others (4) | (571) |
Gain on disposal | 575,056 |

(1) Consideration received from NFE comprised of (i) $75.7 million and $5.1 million in cash as consideration for our 21,333,586 Golar Partners common units and the 2% general partner units of Golar Partners respectively, which is equivalent to $3.55 per unit on the closing of the GMLP Merger. Concurrently, the IDRs of Golar Partners owned by us were cancelled, ceased to exist and with no consideration paid; and (ii) $50.0 million cash and $745.4 million as the fair value of NFE shares on closing of the Hygo Merger.
(2) On closing of the Hygo Merger, considerations received include $50 million in cash and 18,627,451 NFE shares. The NFE shares had a closing price of $44.65 on April 15, 2021, however these shares bear a restricted legend which will become freely tradeable on October 16, 2021 (assuming NFE remains current with its obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). We have considered this restriction to be a characteristic of the instrument and have adjusted the fair value of our investment to reflect the effect of this restriction. To reflect the lack of marketability of the NFE shares during its holding period, we applied a discount of 10.37%, using the average of several option pricing valuation models. This resulted in a fair value of $745.4 million at April 15, 2021. The key assumptions used in the option pricing model include dividend yield, equity volatility and equity beta relating to the NFE shares, market volatility and equity market risk premium.
As of June 30, 2021, we updated the key assumptions used in the option pricing models and applied a discount of 6.64% to NFE's closing share price of $37.88, resulting in a fair value of $658.8 million and an unrealized mark-to-market loss of $86.7 million, presented within the income statement line-item “Other non-operating losses, net" (note 12).
(3) The carrying value of our investment in affiliates at date of disposal was made up of (i) $267.8 million book value as of December 31, 2020; (ii) $6.9 million share in net losses from our affiliates operations for the period from January 1, 2021 to April 15, 2021; (iii) $3.1 million of other comprehensive loss for the period from January 1, 2021 to April 15, 2021; and (iv) $0.5 million of dividends received.
(4) Others comprised of fees incurred in relation to the disposal of our investments in affiliates and the release of our tax indemnity guarantee liability to Golar Partners of $2.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

Golar Partners and Hygo Post-Merger Services Agreements
Upon completion of the GMLP Merger and the Hygo Merger, we entered into certain transition services agreements, corporate services agreements, ship management agreements and omnibus agreements with Golar Partners, Hygo and NFE. These agreements replaced the previous management and administrative services agreements, ship management agreements and guarantees that Golar provided to Golar Partners and Hygo. For the period from April 15, 2021 to June 30, 2021, management fees earned from our discontinued operations amounted to $3.1 million. For the period from April 15, 2021 to June 30, 2021, Hilli LLC had declared distributions totaling $7.2 million with respect to the common units owned by Golar Partners and accounted for $0.3 million of Hilli costs indemnification.
10. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES ("VIE")
10.1 Lessor VIEs
As of June 30, 2021, we leased nine (December 31, 2020: nine) vessels from VIEs as part of sale and leaseback agreements, of which four were with ICBC Finance Leasing Co. Ltd (“ICBCL”) entities, one with a China Merchants Bank Co. Ltd. (“CMBL”) entity, one with a CCB Financial Leasing Corporation Limited (“CCBFL”) entity, one with a COSCO Shipping entity, one with a China State Shipbuilding Corporation (“CSSC”) entities and one with an AVIC International Leasing Company Limited (“AVIC”) entity. Each of the ICBCL, CMBL, CCBFL, COSCO Shipping, CSSC and AVIC entities are wholly-owned, newly formed special purpose vehicles (“Lessor SPVs”). In each of these transactions, we sold our vessel and then subsequently leased back the vessel on a bareboat charter for a term of seven to ten years. We have options to repurchase each vessel at fixed predetermined amounts during their respective charter periods and an obligation to repurchase each vessel at the end of each vessel's respective lease period. Refer to note 5 to our consolidated financial statements filed with the 2020 Form 20-F, for additional details.

(5) The payment obligation relating to the Golar Seal has been presented in 2022 even though the maturity of the lease obligation is in March 2026, due to the put option maturing in January 2022.

(1) These amounts relate to certain lessor entities (for which legal ownership resides with financial institutions) that we are required to consolidate under U.S. GAAP into our financial statements as variable interest entities (see note 10).
Golar Bear facility
In June 2020, we refinanced the Golar Bear facility and concurrently entered into an agreement to bareboat charter the vessel with AVIC for $110.0 million with a drawdown $100.0 million. The facility has a term of seven years and bears a fixed interest rate of 4.64%. As of June 30, 2021, we drew down the remaining $10.0 million.

2017 Convertible Bonds
In February 2017, we closed a $402.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% convertible senior unsecured notes (“2017 Convertible Bonds”) due in 2022. The conversion rate for the 2017 Convertible Bonds was initially equal to 26.5308 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the bonds. This is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $37.69 per common share, or a 35% premium on the February 13, 2017 closing share price of $27.92. The conversion price is subject to adjustment for dividends paid. The holders of the 2017 Convertible Bonds can convert their notes at any time on or after August 15, 2021 using a settlement method as determined by us (either cash, issuance of our common shares, or a combination of cash and issuance of our common shares).

18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair values
We recognize our fair value estimates using a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on reliability of inputs used to determine fair value as follows:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
The carrying values and estimated fair values of our financial instruments at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:

|  | June 30, 2021 | December 31, 2020
(in thousands of $) | Fair value hierarchy | Carrying value | Fair value | Carrying value | Fair value
Non-Derivatives: |  |  |  |  |
Cash and cash equivalents | Level 1 | 207,272 |  | 207,272 |  | 127,691 |  | 127,691 |
Restricted cash and short-term deposits | Level 1 | 131,268 |  | 131,268 |  | 163,181 |  | 163,181 |
Investment in listed equity securities (1) | Level 2 | 658,779 |  | 658,779 |  | — |  | — |

Derivatives: |  |  |  |  |
Oil derivative instrument(4)(5) | Level 2 | 81,730 |  | 81,730 |  | 540 |  | 540 |
Interest rate swaps liability (4)(6) | Level 2 | (27,512) |  | (27,512) |  | (44,315) |  | (44,315) |
Foreign exchange swaps liability (4) | Level 2 | — |  | — |  | (1,310) |  | (1,310) |

(1) Investment in listed equity securities refers to our 18.6 million NFE Shares (note 9). The fair value was calculated using the NFE closing share price as at June 30, 2021 discounted at 6.64% using an option pricing valuation model to quantify the discount for the lack of marketability during the holding period, resulting in a valuation of $658.8 million. The fair value above excludes the dividend receivable from NFE, amounting to $1.9 million.
(2) The carrying amounts of our short-term debt approximate their fair values because of the near term maturity of these instruments.
(3) Our debt obligations are recorded at amortized cost in the consolidated balance sheets. The amounts presented in the table above are gross of the deferred finance charges amounting to $26.4 million and $28.7 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
(3) The fair value of certain derivative instruments is the estimated amount that we would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates, foreign exchange rates, closing quoted market prices and our creditworthiness and that of our counterparties.
(4) Derivative liabilities are captured within other current liabilities and derivative assets are generally captured within other current assets and non-current assets on the balance sheet.
(5) The fair value of the oil derivative instrument was determined using the estimated discounted cash flows of the additional payments due to us as a result of oil prices moving above a contractual oil price floor over the term of the LTA. Significant inputs used in the valuation of the oil derivative include management’s estimate of an appropriate discount rate and the length of time to blend the long-term and short-term oil prices obtained from quoted prices in active markets.
(6) The fair value of certain derivative instruments is the estimated amount that we would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates, foreign exchange rates, closing quoted market prices and our creditworthiness and that of our counterparties.
As of June 30, 2021, we were party to the following interest rate swap transactions involving the payment of fixed rates in exchange for LIBOR as summarized below:

Instrument (in thousands of $) | Notional value | Maturity dates | Fixed interest rates
Interest rate swaps: |  |  |
Receiving floating, pay fixed | 480,000 |  | 2024 to 2029 | 1.69% - 2.37%

Some of our interest rate swaps have a credit arrangement that requires us to provide cash collateral when the market value of the instrument falls below a specified threshold. As at June 30, 2021, cash collateral amounting to $3.1 million has been provided (note 11).
The credit exposure of our interest rate and equity swap agreements are represented by the fair value of contracts with a positive fair value at the end of each period, reduced by the effects of master netting agreements. It is our policy to enter into master netting agreements with the counterparties to derivative financial instrument contracts, which give us the legal right to discharge all or a portion of amounts owed to the counterparty by offsetting them against amounts that the counterparty owes to us. We have elected not to offset the fair values of derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty that are generally subject to enforceable master netting arrangements. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amounts presented in our consolidated balance sheets are not able to be offset.

The services provided by Golar Management are charged at cost plus a management fee equal to 5% of Golar Management’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with providing these services. Where external service providers costs are incurred by us on behalf of Golar Partners, these are recharged at cost. Golar Partners may terminate the agreement by providing 120 days written notice.
b)Ship management fees - Golar and certain of its affiliates charge ship management fees to Golar Partners for the provision of technical and commercial management of Golar Partners' vessels. Each of Golar Partners’ vessels is subject to management agreements pursuant to which certain commercial and technical management services are provided by Golar Management. Golar Partners may terminate these agreements by providing 30 days written notice.
c)Interest income on short-term loan, balances due to Golar Partners and its subsidiaries - Receivables and payables with Golar Partners and its subsidiaries are comprised primarily of unpaid management fees and expenses for management, advisory and administrative services, dividends in respect of the Hilli Common Units and other related party arrangements. In addition, certain receivables and payables arise when we pay an invoice on behalf of a related party and vice versa. Receivables and payables are generally settled quarterly in arrears. Balances owing to or due from Golar Partners and its subsidiaries are unsecured, interest-free and intended to be settled in the ordinary course of business.
d)Methane Princess Lease security deposit - This represents net advances from Golar Partners since its IPO, which correspond with the net release of funds from the security deposits held relating to a lease for the Methane Princess. This is in connection with the Methane Princess tax lease indemnity provided to Golar Partners under the predecessor Omnibus Agreement which terminated on April 15, 2021.
Under the predecessor Omnibus Agreement, we provided a $11.4 million tax indemnification guarantee to Golar Partners in connection with the Methane Princess finance lease which was voluntarily terminated contemporaneously with closing of the GMLP Merger (note 20) where we paid $8.6 million and $0.8 million to the lessor and Golar Partners respectively, and released the remaining liability (note 9).

During the period ended April 15, 2021 and six months ended June 30, 2020, Hilli LLC had declared distributions totaling $7.8 million and $9.9 million, respectively, with respect to the common units owned by Golar Partners. In connection with the Hilli disposal, we have agreed to indemnify Golar Partners for certain costs incurred in Hilli operations when these costs exceed a contractual ceiling. During the period ended April 15, 2021 and six months ended June 30, 2020, we have accounted for $nil and $0.3 million, respectively with respect to Hilli indemnification cost. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, we have a payable of $nil and $5.8 million, respectively to Golar Partners, recorded in “amounts due to related parties”, in respect of the Hilli quarterly distribution.
Following the completion of the GMLP Merger on April 15, 2021, Golar Partners ceased to be a related party and subsequent transactions with Golar Partners and its subsidiaries are treated as a third party and settled under normal payment terms. Furthermore, the Management and administrative services agreement and Ship management fee agreement were terminated and replaced with the Transition Services Agreement, Bermuda Services Agreement and Ship Management Agreements (note 9).

20. OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Assets pledged

(in thousands of $) | June 30, 2021 | December 31, 2020
Book value of vessels secured against loans (1) | 2,907,343 |  | 2,959,535 |

(1) This excludes the Gimi which is classified as “Asset under development” (note 13) and secured against its specific debt facility (note 16).
As of December 31, 2020, the Revolving Credit Facility was secured by a pledge against our shares in Hygo (note 16). In April 2021, in connection with the closing of the Hygo Merger, certain amendments to the facility were enacted. Whilst most of the existing terms remain substantially unchanged, the key amendments include: (i) changes to the security, with the release of the Hygo shares and the replacement with a pledge against Golar’s holding in 18,627,451 NFE shares, although, if certain requirements are met, the facility allows for the release of a portion of the NFE shares based on a prescribed loan to value ratio; and (ii) a decrease to the interest rate to LIBOR plus a margin of 4.5%.
Capital Commitments
Gandria
We have agreed to contract terms for the conversion of the Gandria to a FLNG. The Gandria is currently in lay-up awaiting delivery to Keppel for conversion. The conversion agreement is subject to certain payments and lodging of a full Notice to Proceed. We have also provided a guarantee to cover the sub-contractor's obligations in connection with the conversion of the vessel.
UK tax lease benefits
As described under note 26 in our audited consolidated financial statements filed with our 2020 Form 20-F, during 2003 and 2004 we entered into six UK tax leases. Under the terms of the leasing arrangements, the benefits are derived primarily from the tax depreciation assumed to be available to the lessors as a result of their investment in the vessels. As is typical in these leasing arrangements, as the lessee we are obligated to maintain the lessor’s after-tax margin. Accordingly, in the event of any adverse tax changes or a successful challenge by the UK Tax Authorities (“HMRC”) with regard to the initial tax basis of the transactions, or in relation to the 2010 lease restructurings, or the early termination of the Methane Princess lease, we may be required to make additional payments principally to the UK vessel lessor, which could adversely affect our earnings or financial position. We would be required to return all, or a portion of, or in certain circumstances significantly more than, the upfront cash benefits that we received in respect of our lease financing transactions, including the 2010 restructurings and subsequent termination transactions.
On April 15, 2021, we completed the disposal of Golar Partners to NFE (as further discussed in note 9) and contemporaneously with completion, Golar Partners voluntarily terminated the Methane Princess lease. Therefore as at June 30, 2021, all six UK tax leases are terminated. Under the indemnity provisions of the Omnibus Agreement entered into with Golar Partners and the Tax Indemnification Agreement entered into with NFE, we have agreed to indemnify NFE in the event of any further tax liabilities in excess of the final scheduled amounts arising from the Methane Princess leasing arrangements and termination thereof. With effect from April 15, 2021, the lessor for the six UK tax leases has a first priority security interest in the Golar Gandria and second priority interests in relation to the Golar Tundra and the Golar Frost which replaced the lessor’s previous security interests in the Golar Spirit, Methane Princess and the Golar Grand.
HMRC has been challenging the use of similar lease structures and has been engaged in litigation of a test case for some years. In August 2015, following an appeal to the Court of Appeal by HMRC which set aside previous judgements in favor of the taxpayer, the First Tier Tribunal (“FTT or the UK court”) ruled in favor of HMRC. The taxpayer in this particular ruling has the election to appeal the courts’ decision, but no appeal has been filed. The judgments of the FTT do not create binding precedent for other UK court decisions and therefore the ruling in favor of HMRC is not binding in the context of our structures. Further, we consider there are differences in the fact pattern and structure between this case and our 2003 leasing arrangements and therefore is not necessarily indicative of any outcome. HMRC has written to our lessor to indicate that they believe our lease may be similar to the case noted above. In December 2019, in conjunction with our lessor, Golar obtained supplementary legal advice confirming our position. Golar's discussions with HMRC on this matter concluded without agreement and, in January 2020 we received a closure notice to the inquiry stating the basis of HMRC's position. Consequently, a notice of appeal against the closure notice was submitted to HMRC. In December 2020, a notice of appeal was submitted to the FTT.
39

We have recently reopened discussions with HMRC and are now confident of our position towards a potential settlement. As such at June 30, 2021, we have revised our estimate of the reasonably possible loss and recorded a $73.3 million liability, net of amounts paid by our lessor to HMRC and including contingent fees payable contemporaneous with the settlement. Any eventual net cash outflow will be classified as a financing cash outflow given it is deemed to represent additional interest due to the lessor under the now-terminated leasing arrangements.
Legal proceedings and claims
We may, from time to time, be involved in legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. A provision will be recognized in the financial statements only where we believe that a liability will be probable and for which the amounts are reasonably estimable, based upon the facts known prior to the issuance of the financial statements.
Other
We are party to a shareholders’ agreement with a consortium of investors to fund the development of pipeline infrastructure and a FSRU which are intended to supply two power plants in the Ivory Coast. The project is currently in the initial design phase. Negotiations are underway with third party lenders for the financing of construction costs in the event a positive investment decision is made. During the initial phase of the project, our remaining contractual commitments for this project are estimated to be around €1.1 million ($1.3 million). In the event a positive FID is taken on the project, this could increase up to approximately €15.0 million ($18.0 million). This figure is dependent upon a variety of factors such as whether third party financing is obtained for a portion of the construction costs. The timing of this range of payments is dependent on whether and when FID is made, progress of negotiations with lenders for non-investor financing, and the progress of eventual construction work. The nature of payments to the project could be made in a combination of capital contributions or interest-bearing shareholder loans.
21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Share Repurchase Program
In February 2021, our board of directors approved a program to repurchase up to $50.0 million of our common shares. Since June 30, 2021, we have further repurchased 0.3 million of our common shares for $4.0 million.
