Item 8.01. Other Events
On July 17, 2007, management of Houston American Energy Corp (the "Company") was
advised that Hupecol LLC ("Hupecol") had retained an investment bank for
purposes of evaluating a possible transaction (a "Transaction") involving the
monetization of Hupecol assets. The Transaction may involve the sale of some or
all of the assets and operations of Hupecol, an exchange or trade of assets, a
public offering or other similar transaction and may be effected in a single
transaction or a series of transactions.
The Company is an investor in Hupecol and the Company's interest in the assets
and operations of Hupecol represent all of the Company's assets and operations
in Colombia and are the principal assets and operations of the Company. The
Company's management intends to closely monitor the nature and progress of the
Transaction in order to protect the interests of the Company and its
shareholders. However, the Company has no effective ability to alter or prevent
a Transaction and is unable to predict whether or not a Transaction will in fact
occur or the nature or timing of any such Transaction. Further, the Company is
unable to estimate the actual value that it might derive from any such
Transaction and whether any such Transaction will ultimately be beneficial to
the Company and its shareholders.
