Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Houston American Energy Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for a complete financial presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes, which are included as part of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries (HAEC Louisiana E&P, Inc., HAEC Oklahoma E&P, Inc., and HAEC Caddo Lake E&P, Inc.). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidity and Capital Requirements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. The Company has incurred continuing losses since 2011, including a loss of $161,195 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The Company believes that it has the ability to fund, from cash on hand, its operating costs and anticipated drilling operations for at least the next twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements.

The actual timing and number of wells drilled during 2022 will be principally controlled by the operators of the Company’s acreage, based on a number of factors, including but not limited to availability of financing, performance of existing wells on the subject acreage, energy prices and industry condition and outlook, costs of drilling and completion services and equipment and other factors beyond the Company’s control or that of its operators.

In the event that the Company pursues additional acreage acquisitions or expands its drilling plans, the Company may be required to secure additional funding beyond our resources on hand. While the Company may, among other efforts, seek additional funding from “at-the-market” sales of common stock, and private sales of equity and debt securities, it presently does not have any commitments to provide additional funding, has less than 1 million shares of common stock available to support capital raising efforts and there can be no assurance that the Company can secure the necessary capital to fund its share of drilling, acquisition or other costs on acceptable terms or at all. If, for any reason, the Company is unable to fund its share of drilling and completion costs, it would forego participation in one or more of such wells. In such event, the Company may be subject to penalties or to the possible loss of some of its rights and interests in prospects with respect to which it fails to satisfy funding obligations and it may be required to curtail operations and forego opportunities.

Accounting Principles and Use of Estimates

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing financial statements, management makes informed judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates, including those related to such potential matters as litigation, environmental liabilities, income taxes and the related valuation allowance, determination of proved reserves of oil and gas and asset retirement obligations. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from these estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk include cash, cash equivalents and any marketable securities (if any). The Company had cash deposits of $4,308,432 in excess of the FDIC’s current insured limit on interest bearing accounts of $250,000 as of June 30, 2022. The Company also had cash deposits of $5,019 in Colombian banks at June 30, 2022 that are not insured by the FDIC. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted in common shares that then shared in the earnings of the Company. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss, dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share amounts as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all transactions from June 30, 2022 through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration.

The full amount invested was capitalized to oil and gas properties subject to amortization.

The Company also invested $248,282 in Hupecol Meta relating to drilling operations in Colombia and acquisition of additional interest in Hupecol Meta, reflected in the cost method investment asset. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Hupecol Meta drilled a vertical test well in the Venus Exploration Area of the larger CPO-11 block in Colombia.

 SCHEDULE OF REVENUES AND LONG LIVED ASSETS ATTRIBUTABLE TO GEOGRAPHICAL AREA

NOTE 4 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE

In 2008, the Company adopted the Houston American Energy Corp. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”). The terms of the 2008 Plan, as amended in 2012 and 2013, allow for the issuance of up to 480,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the grant of stock options and restricted stock.

In 2017, the Company adopted the Houston American Energy Corp. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The terms of the 2017 Plan, allow for the issuance of up to 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the grant of stock options and restricted stock.

In 2021, the Company adopted the Houston American Energy 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan” and, together with the 2008 Plan and the 2017 Plan, the “Plans”). The terms of the 2021 Plan allow for the issuance of up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the grant of stock options and restricted stock.

Persons eligible to participate in the Plans are key employees, consultants and directors of the Company.

The Company periodically grants options to employees, directors and consultants under the Plans and is required to make estimates of the fair value of the related instruments and recognize expense over the period benefited, usually the vesting period.

Stock Option Activity

A summary of stock option activity and related information for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is presented below:

 SUMMARY OF STOCK OPTION ACTIVITY

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized $25,520 and $111,005, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense attributable to the amortization of stock options.

Warrants

A summary of warrant activity and related information for 2022 is presented below:

 SUMMARY OF WARRANT ACTIVITY

NOTE 6 – EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Earnings (loss) per common share-basic is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) per common share-diluted assumes the conversion of all potentially dilutive securities and is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock, as defined above, outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities. Net (loss) income per common share-diluted considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares, as defined above, would have an anti-dilutive effect.

The calculation of earnings per share for the periods indicated below were as follows:

 SCHEDULE OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the following and warrants and options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive:

SCHEDULE OF COMPUTATION OF DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE 

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Forward-Looking Information

This Form 10-Q quarterly report of Houston American Energy Corp. (the “Company”) for the six months ended June 30, 2022, contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. To the extent that there are statements that are not recitations of historical fact, such statements constitute forward-looking statements that, by definition, involve risks and uncertainties. In any forward-looking statement, where we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the statement of expectation or belief will be achieved or accomplished.

The actual results or events may differ materially from those anticipated and as reflected in forward-looking statements included herein. Factors that may cause actual results or events to differ from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements included herein include the Risk Factors described in Item 1A herein and in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof. We believe the information contained in this Form 10-Q to be accurate as of the date hereof. Changes may occur after that date, and we will not update that information except as required by law in the normal course of our public disclosure practices.

Additionally, the following discussion regarding our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Form 10-Q, as well as the Risk Factors in Item 1A and the financial statements in Item 7 of Part II of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We believe certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. A description of our critical accounting policies is set forth in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. As of, and for the six months ended, June 30, 2022, there have been no material changes or updates to our critical accounting policies.

Unevaluated Oil and Gas Properties

Unevaluated oil and gas properties not subject to amortization, include the following at June 30, 2022:

The carrying value of unevaluated oil and gas prospects above was primarily attributable to properties in the South American country of Colombia. We are maintaining our interest in these properties.

Recent Developments

Equity Investment

In 2019, we acquired a 2% interest in Hupecol Meta, LLC (“Hupecol Meta”) (the “Hupecol Meta Acquisition”), which interest was subsequently increased on multiple occasions, including the acquisition, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, of an additional interest (1%) in Hupecol Meta for $100,000.

Hupecol Meta holds a working interest in the 639,405 gross acre CPO-11 block in the Llanos Basin in Colombia, comprised of the 69,128 acre Venus Exploration Area and 570,277 acres, which was 50% farmed out by Hupecol Meta. As of June 30, 2022, through our ownership interest in Hupecol Meta, we held an approximately 11% interest in the Venus Exploration Area and approximately 5.5% interest in the remainder of the block.

Drilling Activity

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Hupecol Meta drilled the Bugalu 1, a vertical test well in the Venus Exploration Area of the CPO-11 block in Colombia. At June 30, 2022, drilling operations on the Bugalu 1 had been completed, production casing was run and the well was awaiting testing. A directional well from a second site in the Venus Exploration Area commenced drilling in July 2022. No drilling operations were conducted on our U.S. properties during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, our capital investment expenditures totaled $262,444, principally relating to final expenses associated with the plugging and abandonment of the Lou Brock well ($14,162) and investments in our cost method investment in Hupecol Meta ($148,282)(excluding $100,000 investment to increase our equity interest in Hupecol Meta).

Colombian Elections

In June 2022, Colombia elected as its President, leftist candidate, Gustavo Petro. President-elect Petro has publicly vowed to wind down fossil fuel production in Colombia and end fracking in Colombia as part of a plan to transition to renewable green energy. While the President-elect’s proclamations are openly hostile to the oil and gas industry and appear to bar grants of future oil and gas contracts, those proclamations appear to honor existing oil and gas contracts. Moreover, the President-elect’s proclamations do not appear to be supported by the Colombian lawmakers which may make it difficult for the President-elect to effectively carry out his proclamations. Nonetheless, hostility from the executive branch may make the climate for drilling wells on existing acreage more challenging than is already the case.

Results of Operations

Oil and Gas Revenues. Total oil and gas revenues increased 52% to $462,989 in the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $303,999 in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Oil and gas revenues increased 40% to $886,809 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $632,487 in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in revenue was due to (i) increased natural gas production volumes, up 59% and 38% for the three and six-month periods, respectively, partially offset by a decline in oil production, down 38% and 34% for the three and six-month periods, respectively, and (ii) improved commodity pricing, including 71% and 153% increases in crude oil prices and natural gas prices, respectively, realized during the three-month period and 73% and 39% increases in crude oil prices and natural gas prices, respectively, realized during the six-month period.

The following table sets forth the gross and net producing wells, net oil and gas production volumes and average hydrocarbon sales prices for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

The change in production volumes was primarily attributable to our Reeves County wells being put on gas lift during the second half of 2021, partially offset by natural declines in production.

The change in average oil sales price realized reflects a spike in global energy prices attributable to global supply uncertainty arising from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

All oil and gas sales revenues are attributable to U.S. operations.

Lease Operating Expenses. Lease operating expenses increased 63% to $150,485 during the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $92,531 during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Lease operating expenses increased 20% to $311,757 during the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $258,745 during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in lease operating expenses was attributable to rework and equipment costs.

All lease operating expenses are attributable to U.S. operations.

Depreciation and Depletion Expense. Depreciation and depletion expense was $51,501 and $26,271 for the three months ended June 20, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $109,740 and $58,635 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in depreciation and depletion was due to the increase in the depletable base.

General and Administrative Expenses (excluding stock-based compensation). General and administrative expense increased 1% to $233,376 during the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $231,328 during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and decreased 17% to $517,991 during the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $624,979 during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to higher professional fees during the 2021 period related to the two ATM offerings and redemption of preferred stock.

Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation increased to $25,520 during the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $0 during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and increased 635% to $111,005 during the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $15,109 during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was attributable to the timing of option grants and vesting.

Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources. At June 30, 2022, we had a cash balance of $4,602,772 and working capital of $4,852,063, compared to a cash balance of $4,894,577 and working capital of $5,052,685 at December 31, 2021.

Cash Flows. Operating activities used $29,361 during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $527,759 used during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The change in operating cash flow was primarily attributable to increased revenues and a resulting decrease in net loss during the six-months ended June 30, 2022.

Investing activities used $262,444 during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $166,949 used during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The change in funds used by investing activities is principally attributable to higher investments in Hupecol Meta LLC and investments in plugging and abandonment of our Lou Brock well.

Financing activities provided $0 during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $4,570,888 provided during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was attributable to funds received from two at-the-market common stock offerings ($6,575,889), partially offset by cash used to pay dividends on preferred stock ($37,201) and to redeem all remaining outstanding shares of preferred stock ($1,967,800)

Long-Term Liabilities. At June 30, 2022, we had long-term liabilities of $252,056, compared to $279,953 at December 31, 2021. Long-term liabilities at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, consisted of a reserve for plugging costs and the long-term lease liability.

Capital and Exploration Expenditures and Commitments. Our principal capital and exploration expenditures relate to ongoing efforts to acquire, drill and complete prospects, in particular our Permian Basin acreage and our CPO-11 Colombian acreage. Hupecol Meta drilled a vertical test well in the Venus Exploration Area on the CPO-11 block during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and, in July 2022, Hupecol Meta commenced drilling operations on a directional well on the block. The actual timing and number of well operations undertaken during 2022, in Colombia and the Permian Basin, will be principally controlled by the operators of our acreage, based on a number of factors, including but not limited to availability of financing, performance of existing wells on the subject acreage, energy prices and industry condition and outlook, costs of drilling and completion services and equipment, ability to secure necessary permits and other factors beyond our control or that of our operators.

In addition to possible operations on our existing acreage holdings, we continue to evaluate drilling prospects in which may acquire an interest and participate.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we invested $262,444 for the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties, consisting of drilling and development operations in the U.S ($14,162), principally relating to final expenses related to the plugging and abandonment of the Lou Brock well, and investments in Hupecol Meta ($248,282), including $100,000 paid to increase our ownership interest in Hupecol Meta. The $14,162 invested in U.S. operations was capitalized to oil and gas properties subject to amortization. The $248,282 invested in Hupecol Metal was capitalized to our investment in Hupecol Meta.

As our allocable share of well costs will vary depending on the timing and number of wells drilled as well as our working interest in each such well and the level of participation of other interest owners, we have not established a drilling budget but will budget on a well-by-well basis as our operators propose wells.

We believe that we have the ability, through our cash on-hand, to fund operations and our cost for all planned wells expected to be drilled during 2022.

In the event that we pursue additional acreage acquisitions or expand our drilling plans, we may be required to secure additional funding beyond our resources on hand. While we may, among other efforts, seek additional funding from “at-the-market” sales of common stock, and private sales of equity and debt securities, we presently have less than 1 million authorized shares of common stock available for issuance to support equity capital raises and we have no commitments to provide additional funding, and there can be no assurance that we can secure the necessary capital to fund our share of drilling, acquisition or other costs on acceptable terms or at all. If, for any reason, we are unable to fund our share of drilling and completion costs and fail to satisfy commitments relative to our interest in our acreage, we may be subject to penalties or to the possible loss of some of our rights and interests in prospects with respect to which we fail to satisfy funding commitments and we may be required to curtail operations and forego opportunities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements or guarantees of third party obligations at June 30, 2022.

Inflation

We believe that inflation has not had a significant impact on operations since inception.

Commodity Price Risk

The price we receive for our oil and gas production heavily influences our revenue, profitability, access to capital and future rate of growth. Crude oil and natural gas are commodities and, therefore, their prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand. Historically, the markets for oil and gas have been volatile, and these markets will likely continue to be volatile in the future. The price we receive for production depends on numerous factors beyond our control.

We have not historically entered into any hedges or other transactions designed to manage, or limit, exposure to oil and gas price volatility.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation as of June 30, 2022 of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2022. Such conclusion reflects the 2013 departure of our chief financial officer and assumption of duties of principal financial officer by our chief executive officer and the resulting lack of segregation of duties. Until we are able to remedy these material weaknesses, we are relying on third party consultants and our SEC consultant to assist with financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
