Harvest Vinccler has filed a motion with the Tax Court in Barcelona, Venezuela, to enjoin and dismiss one of the claims and has protested with the municipality the remaining claims. |
| Two claims were filed in July 2006 alleging a failure to pay taxes at a new rate set by the municipality. Harvest Vinccler has filed a protest with the Tax Court in Barcelona, Venezuela, on these claims. |
| Two claims were filed in August 2006 alleging a failure to pay taxes on estimated revenues for the second quarter of 2006 and a withholding error with respect to certain vendor payments.

Harvest Vinccler has filed a motion with the Tax Court in Barcelona, Venezuela, to enjoin and dismiss both claims. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all wholly-owned and
majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been
eliminated.
Reporting and Functional Currency
The United States Dollar (“U.S. Dollar”) is the reporting and functional currency for all of
our controlled subsidiaries and Petrodelta. Amounts denominated in non-U.S. Dollar currencies are
re-measured in U.S. Dollars, and all currency gains or losses are recorded in the consolidated
statement of operations. We attempt to manage our operations in such a manner as to reduce our
exposure to foreign exchange losses. However, there are many factors that affect foreign exchange
rates and resulting exchange gains and losses, many of which are beyond our influence.
Harvest Vinccler does not have currency exchange risk other than the official prevailing
exchange rate that applies to their operating costs denominated in Venezuela Bolivars (“Bolivars”)
(4.30 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar). However, during the three and nine months ended September 30,
2011, Harvest Vinccler exchanged approximately $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, through
Sistema de Transacciones con Títulos en Moneda Extranjera (“SITME”) and received an average
exchange rate of 5.15 Bolivars and 5.17 Bolivars, respectively, per U.S. Dollar. During the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2010, no such exchanges took place. Harvest Vinccler currently
does not have any U.S. Dollars pending government approval for settlement for Bolivars at the
official exchange rate or the SITME exchange rate.
The monetary assets that are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations are cash, accounts
receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets. The monetary liabilities that are exposed
to exchange rate fluctuations are accounts payable, accruals and other current liabilities. All
monetary assets and liabilities incurred at the official Bolivar exchange rate are settled at the
official Bolivar exchange rate. At September 30, 2011, the balances in Harvest Vinccler’s Bolivar
denominated monetary assets and liabilities accounts that are exposed to exchange rate changes are
3.7 million Bolivars and 6.3 million Bolivars, respectively.
See Note 8 — Investment in Equity Affiliates — Petrodelta for a discussion of currency
exchange risk on Petrodelta’s business.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include money market funds with original maturity dates of less than three
months.
Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily
of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and notes payable. Cash and cash equivalents
are placed with commercial banks with high credit ratings. This diversified investment policy
limits our exposure both to credit risk and to concentrations of credit risk.
Total long-term debt at September 30, 2011 consisted of $32 million of fixed-rate unsecured
senior convertible notes maturing in 2013 unless earlier redeemed, purchased or converted. At
December 31, 2010, total long-term debt consisted of $32 million of fixed-rate unsecured senior
convertible notes maturing in 2013 unless earlier redeemed, purchased or converted and $60 million
of fixed-rate unsecured term loan facility maturing in 2012. See Note 4 — Long-Term Debt.
Accounts and Notes Receivable
Notes receivable bear interest and can have due dates that are less than one year or more than
one year. Amounts outstanding under the notes bear interest at a rate based on the current prime
rate and are recorded at face value. Interest is recognized over the life of the note. We may or
may not require collateral for the notes.
Each note is analyzed to determine if it is impaired pursuant to Accounting Standards Updates
(“ASU”) 2010-20. A note is impaired if it is probable that we will not collect all principal and
interest contractually due. We do not accrue interest when a note is considered impaired. All
cash receipts on impaired notes are applied to reduce the accrued interest on the note until the
interest is made current and, thereafter, applied to reduce the principal amount of such notes.
At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our note receivable relates to a prospect leasing
cost financing arrangement. The note receivable plus accrued interest was approximately $3.3
million and $3.4 million, respectively, and was secured by a portion of the production from the Bar
F #1-20-3-2 in Utah. With the sale of our oil and gas assets in Utah’s Uinta Basin (“Antelope
Project”) effective March 1, 2011, the note receivable plus accrued interest will be settled upon
finalization of certain terms of the Joint Exploration and Development Agreement (“JEDA”) which
defined the participating parties’ obligations over our Antelope Project. See Note 3 —
Dispositions and Note 5 — Commitments and Contingencies.
Other Assets
At September 30, 2011, other assets consist of investigative costs associated with new
business development projects of $0.4 million and deferred financing costs of $1.2 million. The
investigative costs are reclassified to oil and gas properties or expensed depending on
management’s assessment of the likely outcome of the project. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2011, $0.1 million of investigative costs associated with new business development
projects were reclassified to expense. At December 31, 2010, other assets consisted of
investigative costs associated with new business development projects of $0.3 million and deferred
financing costs of $2.2 million.
Deferred financing costs relate to specific financing and are amortized over the life of the
financing to which the costs relate. See Note 4 — Long-Term Debt.
Other Assets at September 30, 2011 also includes a blocked payment of $0.7 million net to our
66.667 percent interest related to our drilling operations in Gabon in accordance with the U.S.
sanctions against Libya as set forth in Executive Order 13566 of February 25, 2011, and
administered by the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”).
See Note 5 — Commitments and Contingencies.
Investment in Equity Affiliates
Investments in unconsolidated companies in which we have less than a 50 percent interest and
have significant influence are accounted for under the equity method of accounting (Accounting
Standards Codification [“ASC”] 323). Investment in Equity Affiliates is increased by additional
investments and earnings and decreased by dividends and losses. We review our Investment in Equity
Affiliates for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a decline in the
recoverability of its carrying value. There are many factors to consider when evaluating an equity
investment for possible impairment. Currency devaluations, inflationary economies and cash flow
analysis are some of the factors we consider in our evaluation for possible impairment. At
September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no events that caused us to evaluate our
investment in equity affiliates for impairment.
Property and Equipment
We use the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas properties.
Suspended Exploratory Drilling Costs
Budong PSC
At September 30, 2011, oil and gas properties include capitalized suspended exploratory
drilling costs of $14.0 million related to drilling in the Budong-Budong Production Sharing
Contract (“Budong PSC”) of the Lariang-1 (“LG-1”). The LG-1 targeted the Miocene and Eocene
reservoirs to a planned depth of approximately 7,200 feet. The LG-1 was drilled to a total depth
of 5,311 feet and encountered multiple oil and gas shows within the secondary Miocene objective.
At a depth of 5,300 feet, losses of heavy drilling mud into the formation were encountered which,
when coupled with the very high formation pressures, led the partners to the decision to
discontinue drilling and plug and abandon the well for safety reasons on April 8, 2011. The
primary Eocene targets had not been reached. While the results to date have not definitively
determined the commerciality of development of the LG-1, we believe that the well results confirm
that the Miocene formation exhibits sufficient quantities of hydrocarbons to justify potential
development pending further appraisal.
Capitalized Interest
We capitalize interest costs for qualifying oil and gas properties. The capitalization period
begins when expenditures are incurred on qualified properties, activities begin which are necessary
to prepare the property for production and interest costs have been incurred. The capitalization
period continues as long as these events occur. The average additions for the period are used in
the interest capitalization calculation. During the three and nine months ended September 30,
2011, we capitalized interest costs of $0.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for qualifying
oil and gas property additions. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we
capitalized interest costs of $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for qualifying oil and
gas property additions.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, cash and cash equivalents include $89.4 million
and $51.0 million, respectively, in a money market fund comprised of high quality, short term
investments with minimal credit risk which are reported at fair value. The fair value measurement
of these securities is based on quoted prices in active markets (level 1 input) for identical
assets. The estimated fair value of our senior convertible notes based on observable market
information (level 2 input) as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $62.4 million and
$61.7 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of our term loan facility based on
internally developed discounted cash flow model and inputs based on management’s best estimates
(level 3 input) for identical liabilities as of December 31, 2010 was $49.2 million.
Our current assets and liabilities accounts include financial instruments, the most
significant of which are accounts receivables and trade payables. We believe the carrying values
of our current assets and liabilities approximate fair value, with the exception of the note
receivable. Because this note receivable is not publicly-traded and not easily transferable, the
estimated fair value of our note receivable is based on the market approach and time value of money
which approximates the note receivable book value of $3.3 million and $3.4 million at September 30,
2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The majority of inputs used in the fair value
calculation of the note receivable are Level 3 inputs and are consistent with the information used
in determining impairment of the note receivable.
The following is a reconciliation of the net beginning and ending balances recorded for
financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Asset Retirement Liability
ASC 410, “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations” (“ASC 410”) requires entities to
record the fair value of a liability for a legal obligation to retire an asset in the period in
which the liability is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. No wells were
abandoned during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 or the year ended December 31, 2010.
Changes in asset retirement obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the
year ended December 31, 2010 were as follows:
Noncontrolling Interests
Changes in noncontrolling interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010,
were as follows:
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
The three months ended September 30, 2011 per share calculations above exclude 0.7 million
options and 1.6 million warrants because they were anti-dilutive.
The three months ended September 30, 2010 per share calculations above exclude 3.7 million options
because they were anti-dilutive. We did not have any warrants
outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2010.
The nine months ended September 30, 2011 per share calculations above exclude 0.7 million
options and 1.6 million warrants because they were anti-dilutive.
The nine months ended September 30, 2010 per share calculations above exclude 3.0 million options
because they were anti-dilutive. We did not have any warrants
outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Stock options for 0.2 million shares were exercised in the nine months ended September 30,
2011 resulting in cash proceeds of $0.9 million. Stock options for 0.3 million shares were
exercised in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 resulting in cash proceeds of $0.5 million.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2011-08,
which is included in ASC 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). The objective of
this update is to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment.
This update permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more
likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis
for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described
in ASC 350. ASU No. 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-08 is not expected
to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operation or cash
flows.

Note 8 — Investment in Equity Affiliates
Petrodelta
Petrodelta is governed by its own charter and bylaws and operates a portfolio of properties in
eastern Venezuela including large proven oil fields as well as properties with substantial
opportunities for both development and exploration. Petrodelta is to undertake its operations in
accordance with Petrodelta’s business plan as set forth in its conversion contract. Under its
conversion contract, work programs and annual budgets adopted by Petrodelta must be consistent with
Petrodelta’s business plan. Petrodelta’s business plan may be modified by a favorable decision of
the shareholders owning at least 75 percent of the shares of Petrodelta. Petrodelta’s 2011 capital
expenditures are expected to be approximately $200 million. As of September 30, 2011, Petrodelta
had incurred only $97.9 million in capital expenditures of its expected 2011 budget primarily due
to lack of funding by PDVSA.
As disclosed in previous filings, PDVSA has failed to pay on a timely basis certain amounts
owed to contractors that PDVSA has contracted to do work for Petrodelta. PDVSA purchases all of
Petrodelta’s oil production. PDVSA and its affiliates have reported shortfalls in meeting their
cash requirements for operations and planned capital expenditures, and PDVSA has fallen behind in
certain of its payment obligations to its contractors, including contractors engaged by PDVSA to
provide services to Petrodelta. In addition, PDVSA has fallen behind in certain of its payment
obligations to Petrodelta, which payments Petrodelta would otherwise use to pay its contractors.
As a result, Petrodelta is continuing to experience difficulty in retaining contractors who provide
services for Petrodelta’s operations. We cannot provide any assurance as to whether or when PDVSA
will become
current on its payment obligations. Inability to retain contractors or to pay them on a
timely basis is having an adverse effect on Petrodelta’s operations and on Petrodelta’s ability to
carry out its business plan.
We have advanced certain costs on behalf of Petrodelta. These costs include consultants in
engineering, drilling, operations and seismic interpretation, and employee salaries and related
benefits for Harvest employees seconded into Petrodelta. Currently, we have five employees
seconded into Petrodelta. Costs advanced are invoiced on a monthly basis to Petrodelta. We are
considered a contractor to Petrodelta, and as such, we are also experiencing the slow payment of
invoices. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we advanced Petrodelta $0.7 million for
continuing operations costs, and Petrodelta repaid $0.1 million of the advances. Advances to
equity affiliate has increased $0.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Although
payment is slow, payments continue to be received.
In April 2011, the Venezuelan government published in the Official Gazette the Law Creating a
Special Contribution on Extraordinary Prices and Exorbitant Prices in the International
Hydrocarbons Market (the “amended Windfall Profits Tax”). The amended Windfall Profits Tax
establishes a special contribution for extraordinary prices to the Venezuelan government of 20
percent to be applied to the difference between the price fixed by the Venezuela budget for the
relevant fiscal year (set at $40 per barrel for 2011) and $70 per barrel. The amended Windfall
Profits Tax also establishes a special contribution for exorbitant prices to the Venezuelan
government of (1) 80 percent when the average price of the VEB exceeds $70 per barrel but is less
than $90 per barrel; (2) 90 percent when the average price of the VEB exceeds $90 per barrel but is
less that $100 per barrel; and (3) 95 percent when the average price of the VEB exceeds $100 per
barrel. The amended Windfall Profits Tax caps the cash royalty paid on production at $70 per
barrel. By placing a cap on the royalty barrels, the amended Windfall Profits Tax reduces the
royalties paid to the government and increases payments to the National Development Fund
(“FONDEN”).
The Windfall Profits Tax is deductible for Venezuelan income tax purposes. Petrodelta
recorded $69.4 million and $161.9 million for Windfall Profits Tax during the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2011, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, no
expense was recorded for the Windfall Profits Tax. Petrodelta recorded $2.9 million of expense for
the Windfall Profits Tax during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
There are many sections of the amended Windfall Profits Tax which have yet to be clarified.
One section for which Petrodelta is waiting for clarity is how the $70 cap on royalty barrels will
be applied to royalties paid in-kind. Petrodelta pays royalties on production of 30 percent in-kind and 3.33
percent in cash. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Petrodelta applied the current oil price
to total barrels produced and to total royalty barrels. In October 2011, Petrodelta received
preliminary instructions from PDVSA that royalties, whether paid in cash or in-kind, should be
reported at $70 per barrel (royalty barrels x $70). The difference between the $70 royalty cap and
the current oil price is to be reflected on the income statement as a reduction in oil sales.
PDVSA also instructed Petrodelta to make the reporting change retroactive to April 18, 2011, the
date of enactment of the amended Windfall Profits Tax. From April 18, 2011 to September 30, 2011,
the reduction to oil sales due to the $70 cap applied to all royalty barrels was $52.7 million
($16.9 million net to our 32 percent interest). Net oil sales (oil sales less royalties) are the
same under the method advised by PDVSA and the method of applying the current oil price to total
barrels produced and to total royalty barrels; however, the method advised by PDVSA understates
gross oil sales.
Per our interpretation of the amended Windfall Profits Tax, the $70 cap on royalty barrels
should only be applied to the 3.33 percent royalty which Petrodelta pays in cash. Pending receipt
of final guidance from the Venezuelan government, we have applied the $70 cap to only the 3.33
percent royalty barrels paid in cash and the current oil sales price to the 30 percent royalty
barrels paid in-kind. With the assistance of Petrodelta, we have recalculated Petrodelta’s oil
sales and royalties to apply the current oil price to its total barrels produced and to the 30
percent royalty paid in-kind and applied the $70 cap to the 3.33 percent royalty paid in
cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. From April 18, 2011 to September 30, 2011, net
oil sales (oil sales less royalties) are slightly higher, $5.3 million ($1.7 million net to our 32
percent interest), under this method than the method advised by PDVSA and the method of applying
the current oil price to total barrels produced and to total royalty barrels.
Another section of the amended Windfall Profits Tax for which Petrodelta is waiting for
clarity relates to an exemption of this tax that can be granted by the Ministry of the People’s
Power for Energy and Petroleum (“MENPET”) for the incremental production of projects and grass root
developments until the specific investments are recovered. This exemption has to be considered and
approved in a case by case basis by MENPET. We believe
several of the fields operated by Petrodelta may qualify for the exemption from the amended
Windfall Profits Tax. We are waiting for clarification from MENPET on the definitions of
incremental production and grass roots developments, as well as guidance on the process for
applying for the exemption.
The Science and Technology Law (referred to as “LOCTI” in Venezuela) requires major
corporations engaged in activities covered by the Hydrocarbon and Gaseous Hydrocarbon Law (“OHL”)
to contribute two percent of their gross revenue generated in Venezuela from activities specified
in the OHL on projects to promote inventions or investigate technology in areas deemed critical to
Venezuela. LOCTI requires that each company file a separate declaration stating how much has been
contributed; however, waivers have been granted in the past to allow PDVSA to file a declaration on
a consolidated basis covering all of its and its consolidating entities liabilities. Since
Petrodelta expected PDVSA to continue requesting and receiving waivers, Petrodelta did not accrue a
liability to LOCTI for the year ended December 31, 2009. PDVSA has stated that a waiver was
granted for filing year 2009; however, LOCTI has not yet issued the acceptance letter to PDVSA for
the 2009 filing year. The potential exposure to LOCTI for the year ended December 31, 2009 after
devaluation is $4.8 million, $2.4 million net of tax ($0.8 million net to our 32 percent interest).
In December 2010, LOCTI was modified to reduce the amount of contributions beginning January
2011 to one percent of gross revenues for companies owned by individuals or corporations and 0.5
percent for companies owned by Venezuela. Petrodelta’s rate of contribution starting in 2011 will
be 0.5 percent. The contribution is based on the previous year’s gross revenue and is due the
following year. LOCTI was also modified to require all contributions to be paid in cash directly
to the National Fund for Science, Technology and Innovation (“FONDACIT”), the entity responsible
for the administration of LOCTI contributions. Self-funded programs and direct contributions to
projects performed by other institutions are no longer allowed. Petrodelta is accruing the 2011
liability to LOCTI on a current basis.
In November 2010, Petrodelta’s board of directors declared a dividend of $30.6 million, $12.2
million net to HNR Finance ($9.8 million net to our 32 percent interest). Petrodelta shareholder
approval of the dividend was received on March 14, 2011. As of November 2, 2011, this dividend has
not been received, and the timing of the receipt of this dividend is uncertain.
Petrodelta does not have currency exchange risk other than the official prevailing exchange
rate that applies to its operating costs denominated in Bolivars (4.30 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar).
Petrodelta does not have, and has not had, any Bolivars pending government approval for settlement
for U.S. Dollars at the official exchange rate or the SITME rate. The monetary assets that are
exposed to exchange rate fluctuations are cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other
current assets. The monetary liabilities that are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations are
accounts payable, accruals and other current liabilities. All monetary assets and liabilities
incurred at the official Bolivar exchange rate are settled at the official Bolivar exchange rate.
At September 30, 2011, the balances in Petrodelta’s Bolivar denominated monetary assets and
liabilities accounts that are exposed to exchange rate changes are 811.3 million Bolivars and
3,382.8 million Bolivars, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Petrodelta reported income tax expense under
International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 12 — Income Taxes (“IAS 12”) and IAS 34 — Interim
Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”). However, in the third quarter of 2011, PDVSA made certain
interpretations of IAS 12 and IAS 34 that we do not believe to be in accordance with the guidance.
Per PDVSA’s interpretations, taxable income is projected through the end of the tax year and is to
include only permanent book-to-tax adjustments and the inflation adjustment. All temporary
book-to-tax timing adjustments are excluded. Deferred taxes are to be calculated from the current
balance sheet date. No projections are to be considered for the deferred tax calculation. Since
we do not believe PDVSA’s interpretations to be in accordance with IAS 12 and IAS 34, with the
assistance of Petrodelta, we have recalculated Petrodelta’s income tax under our understanding of the guidance in IAS 12 and IAS
34 which is that taxable income is projected through the end of the tax year and
includes permanent and temporary book-to-tax differences. With this adjustment, Petrodelta’s current income tax rate for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2011 approximates the expected Venezuela statutory income tax rate for
oil companies.
Petrodelta’s reporting and functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. Petrodelta’s financial
information is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
which we have adjusted to conform to GAAP. All amounts through Net Income Equity Affiliate
represent 100 percent of Petrodelta. Summary
financial information has been presented below at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:
Fusion Geophysical, LLC (“Fusion”)
On January 28, 2011, Fusion Geophysical, LLC’s (“Fusion”) 69 percent owned subsidiary,
FusionGeo, Inc., was acquired by a private purchaser pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger.
We received $1.4 million for our equity investment and $0.7 million for the repayment in full of
the outstanding balance of the prepaid service agreement, short term loan and accrued interest.
The Agreement and Plan of Merger includes an Earn Out provision wherein we would receive an
additional payment of up to a maximum of $2.7 million if FusionGeo, Inc.’s 2011
gross profit exceeds $5.6 million. The Earn Out payment will not be determined until early in
2012. We can give no assurance that we will receive any Earn Out payment.
At December 31, 2009, we fully impaired the carrying value of our equity investment in Fusion.
Accordingly, we did not record net losses incurred by Fusion of $0.1 million and $1.1 million in
the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as doing so would have caused our
equity investment to go into a negative position. However, we have recognized a $1.4 million gain
on the sale of Fusion in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Gulf Coast
West Bay Project
We held exploration acreage in the Gulf Coast Region of the United States through an Area of
Mutual Interest (“AMI”) agreement with two private third parties. As of June 30, 2011, we and our
partners in the West Bay project agreed to relinquish the exploration acreage we held to the
farmor. The relinquishment has been completed with an effective date of October 31, 2011.
Neither we nor our partners intend to continue any activity in West
Bay. Based on the decision in the second quarter 2011 to relinquish the exploration acreage, the
carrying value of West Bay of $3.3 million was impaired as of June 30, 2011. The West Bay project
represented $3.3 million of unproved oil and gas properties on our December 31, 2010 balance sheet.
