Purpose of Report
 
This report has been prepared to provide the management of Houston American Energy Corporation with a projection of estimated remaining Reserves and projected future net revenues as of December 31, 2012. These estimates have not been adjusted for risk.
 
Standards of Practice
 
This report has been prepared in accordance with our understanding of the Securities and Exchange Commission, SX Reg. § 210.4-10, dated November 18, 1981 as amended September 19, 1989, requiring adherence to definitions of “Proved” oil and gas Reserves. Additionally, at the request of Houston American, and within the most recently adopted and accepted SEC guidelines (Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting; Final Rule; January 14, 2009), we have evaluated the Proved, Probable and Possible Reserves. The SEC oil and gas Reserve definitions are attached hereto.
 
Liquid hydrocarbon volumes are expressed in standard 42-gallon barrels. All natural gas volumes are sales gas expressed at the official pressure and temperature bases of the areas in which the gas Reserves are located.
 
All currencies in this report are expressed in U.S. dollars.

Reserve Estimates
 
Extrapolation of historical production data was utilized for those producing properties where sufficient data were available to suggest decline trends. Reserves assigned to the remaining producing properties and any non-producing assets were determined by analogy to offset wells producing from similar formations or by volumetric analysis. Reserves assigned by analogy and volumetric analysis are subject to greater revision than Reserves projected using established performance trends.
 
As of December 31, 2012, the PDP net remaining Reserves were estimated to be 2,100 barrels of oil/condensate, 150 barrels of natural gas liquids (“NGL”) and 33.93 MMcf of gas. The net present value, discounted at 10%, of the PDP Reserves was $149,280. Of the total PDP revenue, 69% was derived from oil/condensate and natural gas liquids production. The Reserve life index (“R/P”) for the PDP Reserves was estimated to be 3.8 years based on a 6:1 conversion rate.
 
The PDNP behind-pipe net remaining Reserves were estimated to be 4,070 barrels of oil/condensate and 50.45 MMcf of gas. The net present value, discounted at 10%, of the PDP Reserves was $148,790. Of the total revenue, 71% was derived from oil/condensate production.
 
The total Proved net remaining Reserves were estimated to be 6,170 barrels of oil/condensate, 150 barrels of natural gas liquids and 84.38 MMcf of gas. The net present value, discounted at 10%, of the total Reserves was $298,070. Of the total revenue, 70% was derived from oil, condensate, and natural gas liquids production.

These three properties represent 83% of the future net revenue attributable to Houston American Energy Corporation.
 
Product Prices and Differentials

The base product prices of $95.05 per barrel and $2.86 per MMbtu utilized herein are reported by the Energy Information Administration for the closing Contract 1 NYMEX futures oil and gas prices on the first trading day of each month, averaged over the 2012 calendar year. NGL prices in this report were input as 100% of the oil price, and then an NGL price differential was applied on an individual lease basis.

As required by SEC regulations, no price escalations are included in this report. Realized product prices in this report reflect adjustments for heating content, premiums and basis differentials. Where applicable, transportation costs have been included.

Operating Costs and Expenditures

Direct lease operating expenses were input as dollars per month into the economic models. These data were supplied by Houston American Energy Corporation. Where applicable, lease operating costs were adjusted for non-recurring costs. Operating costs were not escalated in this report. Severance and ad valorem taxes are deducted as a percentage of gross revenues or as a charge per unit of production. The individual well projections of oil and gas cease when the operating expenses exceed the gross revenues.

Values Not Considered

In all cases, we have attempted to account for all deductions from gross revenues except for the following:
 
 
Federal Income Taxes
 
Depreciation, depletion, and/or amortization, if any
 
Costs in excess of revenues of uneconomic leases
 
Plugging and abandonment costs in excess of salvage value
 
Environmental restoration costs, if any
 
Product price hedges, if any
 
No value has been assigned to non-producing acreage or to acreage held by production.
 
Report Qualifications
 
Estimates of future revenues were based on projections of recoverable hydrocarbons, rates of production, timing of recompletions and drilling, proration by state and federal agencies, operating costs, direct taxes, and product prices. Any unusual combination of the many factors, including weather, political risk or acts of terrorism could result in future receipts being considerably less or more than those estimated herein.
 
THE REVENUES AND PRESENT WORTH OF FUTURE NET REVENUES ARE NOT REPRESENTED TO BE MARKET VALUES EITHER FOR THE INDIVIDUAL PROPERTIES OR IN A TOTAL PROPERTY BASIS.
 
The Reserves and revenues for specific properties should be considered in context with the overall report.
 
Data Sources
 
Historical production data were obtained from Houston American Energy Corporation and public sources, such as DrillingInfo.com, HPDI, LLC, Lasser Production Data Services, and IHS Energy Data Services. This production data was generally updated though December 2012.
 
We retain in our files digital databases for all properties and certain other hard copy information that we believe pertinent. We have not inspected the properties evaluated in this report, nor have we conducted independent well tests.
