NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General Overview

Hyperdynamics Corporation (“Hyperdynamics,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) is a Delaware corporation formed in March 1996. Hyperdynamics has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, SCS Corporation Ltd (“SCS”), a Cayman corporation, and HYD Resources Corporation (“HYD”), a Texas corporation. Through SCS, Hyperdynamics focuses on oil and gas exploration offshore the coast of West Africa. Our exploration efforts are pursuant to a Hydrocarbon Production Sharing Contract, as amended (the “PSC”). We refer to the rights granted under the PSC as the “Concession.” We began operations in oil and gas exploration, seismic data acquisition, processing, and interpretation in late fiscal 2002.

As used herein, references to “Hyperdynamics,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Hyperdynamics Corporation and our subsidiaries, including SCS. The rights in the Concession offshore Guinea are held by SCS.

Status of our Business, Liquidity and Going Concern

We have no source of operating revenue and there is no assurance when we will, if ever. On December 31, 2016, we had $2.2 million in cash, and $1.5 million in accounts payable and accrued expense liabilities, all of which are current liabilities. The net working capital of approximately $0.7 million will not be sufficient to meet our corporate needs and Concession related activities for the quarter ending March 31, 2017. We are currently pursuing several avenues to raise funds. We have no other material commitments other than ordinary operating costs and commitments relating to the PSC.

As of February 28, 2017 the Company’s trade accounts payable and accrued expenses exceeded its cash balances.

In 2010 we sold a 23% gross interest in the Concession to Dana Petroleum, PLC (“Dana”), a subsidiary of the Korean National Oil Corporation. Later, at the end of 2012, we sold a 40% gross interest to Tullow Guinea Ltd. (“Tullow”). The Share Purchase Agreement (“Tullow SPA”) was dated December 31, 2012. A few months later Tullow became the Operator of the Concession on April 1, 2013. We refer to Tullow, Dana and us in the Concession as the “Consortium”.

Pursuant to the Tullow SPA between Tullow and us, Tullow paid us $26.0 million in cash and Tullow agreed to pay our entire participating interest share of expenditures associated with joint operations in the Concession up to a gross expenditure cap of $100.0 million incurred during the period of our carried interest while drilling the initial exploratory well that began on September 21, 2013. Tullow also agreed to pay our participating interest share of future costs for the drilling of an appraisal well following the initial exploration well, if drilled, up to an additional gross expenditure cap of $100.0 million.

The Consortium planned to drill the exploration well in the ultra-deepwater area (water depths of over 2,000 meters) of the Concession during the first half of calendar 2014, but Tullow declared Force Majeure in March of 2014 based on the mere existence of the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) investigations pursuant to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of the United States (“FCPA Investigations”). Tullow withdrew its Force Majeure declaration in May of 2014, but did not resume petroleum operations citing the existence of the FCPA investigations and the Ebola outbreak in Guinea as the reason.

The DOJ investigation ended last May 2015, the SEC investigation ended last September 2015, and the World Health Organization declared Guinea Ebola free on December 29, 2015. Notwithstanding the resolution of the FCPA investigations, Dana insisted on further specific title assurances from the Government of Guinea and at a Petroleum Operations Management Committee meeting with the Government of Guinea in Conakry on December 16 and 17, 2015, Tullow and SCS obtained a PSC Amendment that we believed provided such further assurances. Instead of signing the PSC Amendment both Tullow and Dana refused to execute the agreement. Unable to see a path forward, we filed legal actions against Tullow and Dana under our Joint Operating Agreement.

On August 15, 2016, we entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement with Tullow and Dana (“Settlement Agreement”) that returned to Hyperdynamics 100% of the interest under the PSC, long-lead item property useful in the drilling of an exploratory well, and $0.7 million in cash, in return for a mutual release of all claims. We also agreed to pay Dana a success fee based upon the certified reserves of the Fatala well if it results in a discovery.

Table of Contents

On August 19, 2016, we signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Guinea and executed a Second Amendment to the PSC (“2016 Amendment”) on September 15, 2016. We also received a Presidential Decree that gave Hyperdynamics a one year extension to the second exploration period of the PSC to September 22, 2017 (“PSC Extension Period”) and we also became the designated Operator with the receipt of the Presidential Decree.

In addition to clarifying certain elements of the initial PSC, we agreed in the 2016 Amendment to drill one exploratory well to a minimum depth of 2,500 meters below the seabed within the PSC Extension Period with a projected commencement date of April 2017 (the “Extension Well”) with the option of drilling additional wells.

If the Extension Well is not drilled within the PSC Extension Period, we will owe the Government of Guinea, under Article 4.2 of the PSC, the difference between the actual expenditures in Guinea that are related to the well and $46.0 million. Fulfillment of the work obligations exempts us from the expenditure obligations during the PSC Extension Period. Failure to comply with the drilling and other obligations of the PSC as amended subjects us to financial penalties and a risk of loss of the Concession.

In mid-January 2017 the Company requested and received a notification letter dated January 24, 2017 from the General Director of the National Petroleum Office of the Republic of Guinea, informing the Company that the Republic of Guinea granted a postponement of the Company’s obligation to provide a mutually acceptable security of $5.0 million to February 20, 2017 (originally required by no later than January 21, 2017) as well as a clarification regarding the timing of the security under Article 4.2 of the 2016 PSC Amendment until the work on the Fatala-1 well is completed.

On March 1, 2017, the Republic of Guinea has issued a reservation of rights letter asserting the Company has not satisfied its obligation to deposit mutually acceptable security of $5.0 million. The Company and the Republic of Guinea have been and continue to be in negotiations regarding the mutually acceptable assets that would satisfy the $5.0 million security requirement. These negotiations have not yet reached a conclusion.

If we do not reach an agreement with the Government of Guinea on a mutually acceptable security instrument, the Republic of Guinea may terminate the PSC at any time and without prior notice to remedy such non-compliance with the PSC. To date the $5.0 million security has not been provided and no extension, though requested, subsequent to February 20 has been provided by the Republic of Guinea.

Also, if the well is not drilled during the Extension Period we will owe the Republic of Guinea the remaining balance under Article 4.2 of the PSC.

The delays prior to the signing of the Second Amendment have adversely affected our ability to date to explore the Concession and reduce the attractiveness of the Concession to prospective industry participants and financing parties. While we currently hold 100% of the Concession, it is unknown whether we will be able to raise the necessary funds to drill the exploratory well during the PSC Extension Period.

Absent cash inflows we will not have adequate capital resources to meet our current obligations as they become due and therefore there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to meet our current obligations as they become due over the next twelve-months, and to be able to continue exploration, will depend on obtaining additional resources through sales of additional interests in the Concession, equity or debt financial offerings, or through other means.

No assurance can be given that any of these actions can be completed.

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hyperdynamics and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, as reported in the Form 10-K, have been omitted.

Table of Contents

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses at the balance sheet date and for the period then ended. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, such estimates and assumptions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from such estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions underlying these financial statements include:

· estimates in the calculation of share-based compensation expense,

· estimates made in our income tax calculations,

· estimates in the assessment of current litigation claims against the Company,

· estimates and assumptions involved in our assessment of unproved oil and gas properties for impairment, and

· estimates and assumptions involved in our fair market value assessment of the well construction equipment received in the August 15, 2016 Settlement Agreement with Tullow and Dana.

We are subject, from time to time, to legal proceedings, claims, and liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of business. We accrue for losses when such losses are considered probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. For the periods presented, we maintained all of our cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, exceed the federally insured limits.

Earnings per share

Basic loss per common share has been computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. In period of earnings, diluted earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus weighted-average dilutive potential common shares. Diluted earnings per share calculations assume, as of the beginning of the period, exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method.

All potential dilutive securities, including potentially dilutive options, warrants and convertible securities, if any, were excluded from the computation of dilutive net loss per common share for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, because their effects in the computation are antidilutive due to our net loss for those periods.

Stock options to purchase approximately 1.2 million common shares at an average exercise price of $4.08 were outstanding at December 31, 2016. Using the treasury stock method, had we had net income, approximately 298,700 common shares attributable to our outstanding stock options would have been included in the fully diluted earnings per share for the three month period ended December 31, 2016 while approximately 182,200 common shares attributable to our outstanding stock options would have been included in the fully diluted earnings per share for the six month period ended December 31, 2016.

Stock options to purchase approximately 1.0 million common shares at an average exercise price of $5.67 were outstanding at December 31, 2015. Using the treasury stock method, had we had net income, approximately 101,600 common shares attributable to our outstanding stock options would have been included in the fully diluted earnings per share for the three month period ended December 31, 2015 while approximately 50,800 common shares attributable to our outstanding stock options would have been included in the fully diluted earnings per share for the six month period ended December 31, 2015.

Contingencies

We are subject to legal proceedings, claims and liabilities. We accrue for losses associated with legal claims when such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted as additional information becomes available or circumstances change. Legal fees are charged to expense as they are incurred. See Note 6 for more information on legal proceedings and settlements.

Table of Contents

Fair Value Measurements

The accounting standards define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measures. As discussed in Note 2, we determined a fair value of the well construction equipment material (Level 3 fair value measurement) that we received at the time of our legal settlement with Tullow and Dana. The fair value estimate was based on the combination of cost and market approaches taking into consideration a number of factors, which included but were not limited to the original cost and the condition of the material and demand for steel and tubulars at the time of measurement.

2. INVESTMENT IN OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

Investment in oil and gas properties consists entirely of our Concession in offshore Guinea, West Africa. We previously owned a 37% participating interest in our Guinea Concession on June 30, 2016. On August 19, 2016, we signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Guinea and executed a Second Amendment to the PSC (“2016 Amendment”) on September 15, 2016 and received a Presidential Decree on September 21, 2016 giving us a one year extension to the second exploration period of the PSC to September 22, 2017 (“PSC Extension Period”) and reaffirming that we now own 100% of the Concession.

One part of our settlement with Tullow and Dana included the relinquishments of their respective 40% and 23% participating interests in the Concession. Hyperdynamics now owns 100% of the participating interests in the Concession.

In addition to clarifying certain elements of the PSC, we agreed in the 2016 Amendment to drill one (1) exploratory well to a minimum depth of 2,500 meters below the seabed within the PSC Extension Period with a projected commencement date of April 2017 (the “Extension Well”) with the option of drilling additional wells. If the Extension Well is not drilled within the PSC Extension Period, we will owe the Government of Guinea the difference between the actual expenditures in Guinea related to the well and $46.0 million. Fulfillment of the work obligations exempts us from the expenditure obligations during the PSC Extension Period. In the event a discovery is made, the terms of the PSC make us eligible for a two-year appraisal period during which we are obliged either to declare that the reserves are commerciality viable or that we decide that the PSC shall terminate.

In turn, we will retain only an area equivalent to approximately 5,000 square kilometers in the Guinea offshore and will provide the Government of Guinea: (1) A parent company guarantee for the well obligation, (2) monthly progress reports and a reconciliation of budget to actual expenditures, (failure to provide the reports and assurances on a timely basis could result in a notice of termination with a 30 day period to cure), and (3) guarantees to the Guinea Government that (a) no later than January 21, 2017 we will provide a mutually acceptable security for $5.0 million on terms customary in international petroleum operations, provided that this security is to be released at the time the drilling rig for the Extension Well is on location offshore Guinea, and (b) no later than April 12, 2017, we will deliver a mutually acceptable security for the difference between $46.0 million and the amount spent to date on the Extension Well.

For the purposes of calculation for this clause, however, only costs spent for services and goods provided in Guinea shall be taken into account until the drilling rig to be used in the drilling of the Extension Well is located in the territorial waters of the Republic of Guinea.

On January 24, 2017 the Company requested and received a notification letter from the General Director of the National Petroleum Office of the Republic of Guinea, informing the Company that the Republic of Guinea granted a postponement to provide a mutually acceptable security of $5.0 million to February 20, 2017 as well as a clarification regarding the timing of the $46.0 million security payment under Article 4.2 of the 2016 PSC Amendment until the work on the Fatala well is completed.

On March 1, 2017, the Republic of Guinea has issued a reservation of rights letter asserting the Company has not satisfied its obligation to deposit mutually acceptable security of $5.0 million. The Company and the Republic of Guinea have been and continue to be in negotiations regarding the mutually acceptable assets that would satisfy the $5.0 million requirement. These negotiations have not yet reached a conclusion.

If we do not agree with the Government of Guinea on a mutually acceptable security instrument the Government of Guinea may terminate the PSC at any time and without prior notice to remedy such non-compliance with the PSC. To date the $5.0 million security has not been provided and no extension, though requested, subsequent to February 20 has been provided by the Republic of Guinea.

Table of Contents

Also, if the well is not drilled during the Extension Period we will owe the Republic of Guinea the difference between the $46.0 million and the costs incurred to date on the Extension Well.

Additionally, we agreed to limit the cost recovery pool to date to our share of expenditures in the PSC since 2009 (estimated to be approximately $150,000,000) and move into the territory of Guinea the long lead items we received in the Settlement Agreement that are currently in Takoradi, Ghana for the drilling of the Extension Well by January 31, 2017. The movement of approximately $1.6 million of the $4.1 million of equipment was started on January 29, 2017 and was completed on February 5, 2017. The balance of the material still in Ghana will be moved at a later date. Finally, we agreed to allocate and administer a training budget during the PSC Extension Period for the benefit of the Guinea National Petroleum Office of $250,000 in addition to any unused portion of the training program under Article 10.3 of the PSC, estimated to be approximately $500,000.

Failure to comply with the drilling and other obligations of the PSC as amended subjects us to financial penalties and a risk of loss of the Concession. The continued delays have affected adversely the ability to explore the Concession and reduce the attractiveness of the Concession to prospective industry participants and financing sources. While we currently hold 100% of the Concession, it is unknown whether we will be able to raise the necessary funds to drill the exploratory well during the PSC Extension Period.

We follow the “Full-Cost” method of accounting for oil and natural gas property and equipment costs. Under this method, internal costs incurred that were directly identified with exploration, development, and acquisition activities undertaken by us for our own account, and which were not related to production, general corporate overhead, or similar activities, are capitalized. Capitalization of internal costs was discontinued April 1, 2013 when Tullow became the operator. Hyperdynamics became the operator after the signing of the Second Amendment of the PSC on September 15, 2016 and thus capitalization of certain internal, project related costs had resumed. For the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2016, we capitalized $1.3 million and $1.5 million of such costs, respectively.

Capitalized internal costs of $ 0.2 million from the previous quarter were written off and recorded as Full-cost ceiling test write-down expenses, and capitalized internal costs of $ 1.3 million in the current quarter were written off and recorded as General, administrative and other operating costs.

Geological and geophysical costs incurred that are directly associated with specific unproved properties are capitalized in “Unproved properties excluded from amortization” and evaluated as part of the total capitalized costs associated with a prospect. The cost of unproved properties not being amortized is assessed to determine whether such properties have been impaired. In determining whether such costs should be impaired, we evaluate current drilling plans and drilling results and available geological and geophysical information. No reserves have been attributed to the Concession.

The following table provides detail of total capitalized costs for the Concession which remain unproved and unevaluated and are excluded from amortization as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 (in thousands):

	December 31, 2016		June 30, 2016
Oil and Gas Properties:
Unproved properties not subject to amortization	$	4,142	$	—

During the six month period ended December 31, 2016, our oil and gas property balance increased by $4.1 million as a result of the fair value of the material received in our settlement with Tullow and Dana. The fair value of the material, for the most part well construction material, at the time of the settlement was approximately $4.4 million, of which we reduced by approximately $0.4 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2017 based on additional information that we determined reduced the original fair market value. We engaged an independent outside party with expertise in valuing oil and gas equipment to conduct an appraisal and provide a fair valuation determination for our initial recording and reporting purposes.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2016 we impaired $0.8 million of unproved oil and gas property costs capitalized during the current quarter ($0.5 million) and previous quarter ($0.3 million) and the internal costs described above. That impairment assessment was based on our liquidity position, and the possibility that we may not reach an agreement with the Government of Guinea regarding the requirement under the PSC to provide a mutually acceptable security of $5.0 million, and the possibility that the Government of Guinea may at any time and without prior notice terminate our Concession.

As of June 30, 2016 at the close of our last fiscal year we fully impaired the $14.3 million of previously capitalized unproved oil and gas property costs. That impairment assessment was based on the continued impasse at the time by our members of the Consortium to resume petroleum operations and drill the next exploration obligation well, which needed to be commenced at that time by the end of September 2016, and our inability at the time to get interim injunctive relief from the American Arbitration Association requiring Tullow and Dana to join with SCS in the negotiation of an acceptable amendment to the PSC and to agree to a process that would result in the execution of the amendment which we hoped would have led to the resumption of petroleum operations by the Consortium. Thus, we believed all legal measures to require Tullow and Dana to drill the planned exploration well had been exhausted.

4. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

On February 18, 2010, at our annual meeting of stockholders, the board of directors and stockholders approved the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). Prior to the 2010 stockholder meeting, we had two stock award plans: the Stock and Stock Option Plan, which was adopted in 1997 (“1997 Plan”) and the 2008 Restricted Stock Award Plan (“2008 Plan”). In conjunction with the approval of the 2010 Plan at the annual meeting, the 1997 Plan and the 2008 Plan were terminated as of February 18, 2010. Subsequently, on February 17, 2012, the 2010 Plan was amended to increase the maximum shares issuable under the 2010 Plan and again on January 27, 2016, at our annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholders approved amending the 2010 Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance by 750,000 shares.

The 2010 Plan provides for the awards of shares of common stock, restricted stock units or incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options to purchase our common stock to selected employees, directors, officers, agents, consultants, attorneys, vendors and advisors of ours’ or of any parent or subsidiary thereof. Shares of common stock, options, or restricted stock can only be awarded under the 2010 Plan within 10 years from the effective date of February 18, 2010. A maximum of 2,000,000 shares are issuable under the 2010 Plan and at December 31, 2016, 783,460 shares remained available for issuance.

The 2010 Plan provides a means to attract and retain the services of participants and also to provide added incentive to such persons by encouraging stock ownership in the Company. Plan awards are administered by the Compensation, Nominating, and Corporate Governance Committee, who has substantial discretion to determine which persons, amounts, time, price, exercise terms, and restrictions, if any.

From time to time we issue non-compensatory warrants, such as warrants issued to investors.

Stock Options

The fair value of stock option awards is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. For market-based pricing of stock option awards, those options where vesting terms are dependent on achieving a specified stock price, the fair value was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with inputs adjusted for the probability of the vesting criteria being met and the median expected term for each award as determined by utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation. Expected volatility is based solely on historical volatility of our common stock over the period commensurate with the expected term of the stock options. We rely solely on historical volatility because we do not have options that are traded. The expected term calculation for stock options is based on the simplified method as described in the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107.

We use this method because we do not have sufficient historical information on exercise patterns to develop a model for expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U. S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of award for an instrument with a maturity that is commensurate with the expected term of the stock options. The dividend yield rate of 0% is based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and we do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock during the expected term of the options.

The following table provides information about options during the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

	2016		2015
Number of options awarded	178,500		30,000
Compensation expense recognized	$	106,000	$	189,000

At December 31, 2016, there were $177 thousand of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share based compensation arrangements awarded to employees and directors under the plans. During the six months ended December 31, 2016, a total of 76,404 options, with a weighted average award date fair value of $0.57 per share, vested in accordance with the underlying agreements. Unvested options at December 31, 2016 totaled 199,697 with a weighted average award date fair value of $4.72, an amortization period of one year and a weighted average remaining life of 0.93 years.

Restricted Stock

The fair value of restricted stock awards classified as equity awards is based on the Company’s stock price as of the date of grant. During the year ended June 30, 2015, all such awards were forfeited. No new grants have been issued, and none are outstanding at December 31, 2016.

5. INCOME TAXES

Federal income taxes are not due as we have had losses since inception. Our effective tax rate for the six month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is 0%. This rate is lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the valuation allowance applied against our net deferred tax assets.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LITIGATION AND OTHER LEGAL MATTERS

From time to time, we and our subsidiaries are involved in disputes. We review the status of on-going proceedings and other contingent matters with legal counsel. Liabilities for such items are recorded if and when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and when the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. If we are able to reasonably estimate a range of possible losses, an estimated range of possible loss is disclosed for such matters in excess of the accrued liability, if any. Liabilities are periodically reviewed for adjustments based on additional information.

Iroquois Lawsuit

On May 9, 2012, a lawsuit was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against us and all of our directors. The plaintiffs, five hedge funds that invested in us in early 2012, alleged that we breached an agreement with the plaintiffs, and that we and the directors made certain negligent misrepresentations relating to our drilling operations. Among other claims, the plaintiffs alleged that we misrepresented the status of our drilling operations and the speed with which the drilling would be completed. The plaintiffs’ advanced claims for breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation and sought damages in the amount of $18.5 million plus pre-judgment interest.

On July 12, 2012, we and the directors moved to dismiss the suit for failure to state a claim as to all defendants and for lack of personal jurisdiction over the director defendants. On June 19, 2013, the court dismissed the negligent misrepresentation claim but declined to dismiss the breach of contract claim. The negligent misrepresentation claim was dismissed without prejudice, meaning plaintiffs could attempt to refile it. On August 12, 2013, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. That complaint named only the Company and sought recovery for alleged breaches of contract. We filed an answer to the plaintiffs’ amended complaint on September 9, 2013, and the court entered a scheduling order governing pre-trial proceedings in the matter.

On December 31, 2016 we entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs whereby Hyperdynamics will issue to the plaintiffs a total of 600,000 new shares of common stock, and it will cause a payment to be made of $1.35 million in cash that will be covered under its directors’ and officers’ insurance policy.The liability for the issuance of the shares was recorded to “liability for legal settlement” in the amount of $1.3 million based on the $2.18 December 30, 2016 closing price of our common stock. The plaintiffs are restricted from selling the shares before April 1, 2017 under the terms of the agreement. The shares of common stock were issued on February 2, 2017, whereby the issuance of those shares will be recorded to “Common Stock” and “Additional paid in capital” and the liability for legal settlement will be cleared.

Shareholder Lawsuits

Beginning on March 13, 2014, two lawsuits styled as class actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas against us and several then-current officers of the Company alleging that the Company made false and misleading statements that artificially inflated the Company’s stock prices. The lawsuits alleged, among other things, that the Company misrepresented its compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and anti-money laundering statutes and that it lacked adequate internal controls. The lawsuits sought damages based on Sections 10(b) and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, although the specific amount of damages is not specified. On May 12, 2014, a shareholder filed a motion for appointment as lead plaintiff.

Both of the March 2014 lawsuits were dismissed voluntarily. One was dismissed during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and the second on October 6, 2016.

Tullow and Dana Legal Actions

On January 11, 2016, we filed legal actions against members of the Consortium under the Joint Operating Agreement governing the oil and gas exploration rights offshore Guinea (“JOA”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas and before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) against Tullow for their failure to meet their obligations under the JOA. On January 28, 2016, the action in the Federal District Court was voluntarily dismissed by us and refiled in District Court in Harris County, Texas. On February 8, 2016 Tullow and Dana removed the case to Federal District Court.

On February 2, 2016, SCS filed an Application for Emergency Arbitrator and Interim Measures of Protection and requested the following relief: (a) expedite discovery prior to the constitution of the arbitral tribunal; (b) provide that the time period permitted by the parties’ arbitration agreement for the selection of the arbitrators and the filing of any responsive pleadings or counterclaims be accelerated; (c) require Tullow, as the designated operator under the JOA, to maintain existing “well-planning activities”; (d) require Tullow to undertake and complete certain planning activities; and (e) require Tullow and Dana to join with SCS in completing the negotiation of an acceptable amendment to the PSC and to agree to a process that will result in the execution of the amendment.

With the exception of limited relief regarding discovery and agreement by Tullow to maintain certain well plan readiness, the Emergency Arbitrator ruled on February 17, 2016, that SCS was not entitled to the emergency injunctive relief it requested. Further, the Emergency Arbitrator enjoined all parties to the dispute from pursuing parallel District Court proceedings. On February 12, 2016, the case was voluntarily stayed by us.

The AAA action sought (1) a determination that Tullow and Dana was in breach of their contractual obligations and (2) the damages caused by the repeated delays in well drilling caused by the activities of Tullow and Dana. We determined to bring the legal actions only after it became apparent that Tullow and Dana would not move forward, despite many opportunities to do so, with petroleum operations. SCS believed that it had exhausted all of its options for the pursuit of legal measures to require Tullow and Dana to drill the planned exploration well.

On August 15, 2016, we subsequently entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement with Tullow and Dana (“Settlement and Release”) with respect to our dispute in arbitration. Under the Settlement and Release, we released all claims against Tullow and Dana and Tullow and Dana (i) issued to the Government of Guinea a notice of withdrawal from the Concession and PSC effective immediately, (ii) transferred their interest in the long lead items of well construction material previously purchased by the Consortium in preparation for the initial drilling of the Fatala well, and agreed to pay net cash of $686,570 to us. The net cash received was recorded as a part of the gain on the legal settlement. We also agreed to pay Dana a success fee based upon the certified reserves of the Fatala well if it results in a discovery of commercially producible oil and gas reserves.

The $4.8 million gain on legal settlement also includes the estimated fair value of $4.1 million for the well construction material we received from Tullow as a part of our Settlement and Release Agreement.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

We lease office space under long-term operating leases with varying terms. Most of the operating leases contain renewal and purchase options. We expect that in the normal course of business, most of the operating leases will be renewed or replaced by other similar leases.

During the three months period ended December 31, 2016 and as a part of our program to begin drilling operations in Guinea, we entered into a lease for in-country offices and nearby apartments. The leases are for six months with options to renew as necessary and collectively cost about $30 thousand per month.

The following is a schedule by years of minimum future rental payments required under operating leases that have initial or remaining non-cancellable lease terms in excess of one year (in thousands):

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Issuance of Common Stock and Payment of Cash by Insurers: Settlement of Iroquois Lawsuit

On January 11, 2017 a payment of $1.35 million was made by the insurance underwriters of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy to the hedge funds in the Iroquois lawsuit on behalf of the Company. On February 2, 2017 the Company issued 600,000 shares of its common stock to the hedge funds named in the settlement agreement.

On December 31, 2016 we had entered into a settlement agreement with the five hedge funds in the Iroquois lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Hyperdynamics would issue to the plaintiffs a total of 600,000 shares of new common stock, and it would cause a payment to be made of $1.35 million in cash that would be covered under its directors’ and officers’ insurance policy. The plaintiffs are restricted from selling the shares of common stock before April 1, 2017 under the terms of the agreement.

Certain requirements under the PSC

On March 1, 2017, the Republic of Guinea has issued a reservation of rights letter asserting the Company has not satisfied its obligation to deposit mutually acceptable security of $5.0 million. The Company and the Republic of Guinea have been and continue to be in negotiations regarding the mutually acceptable assets that would satisfy the $5.0 million requirement. These negotiations have not yet reached a conclusion.

Also, if the well is not drilled during the Extension Period we will owe the Republic of Guinea the difference between the $46.0 million and the costs incurred to date on the Extension Well.

OTC Markets Group Listing Requirements and Delinquency Notice

On February 27, 2017 the OTC Markets Group determined that the Company was delinquent in filing its SEC Form 10-Q for the Quarter ended December 31, 2016. The Company was advised that it had until March 29, 2017, a thirty day period, to correct the deficiency. If the Company is unable to correct the deficiency or provide an acceptable plan to comply with the requirement to timely file its ongoing disclosure obligations, the OTC Markets Group will remove the Company from OTCQX U.S. to OTC Pink on March 30, 2017.

The filing of this Form 10-Q on or prior to March 29 cures this delinquency.

Overview

Our corporate mission is to provide energy for the future by exploring for, developing new, and re-establishing pre-existing sources of energy. Our primary focus is the advancement of exploration work in Guinea. We have no source of operating revenue, and there is no assurance when we will, if ever. Our operating cash flows are negative, and we will require substantial additional funds, through additional participants, securities offerings, or through other means, to fulfill our business plans.

Our operating plan within the next twelve months includes the following:

· Commence preparations for drilling of the exploration well in Guinea.

· Consider financing alternatives and other measures to raise funds to pursue our exploration objectives offshore Guinea.

Through June 30, 2016 we owned a 37% participating interest in our Guinea Concession. After that on August 19, 2016, we signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Guinea and executed a Second Amendment to the PSC (“2016 Amendment”) on September 15, 2016 and then received a Presidential Decree on September 21, 2016 which gave us a one year extension to the second exploration period of the PSC to September 22, 2017 (“PSC Extension Period”) and we now own 100% of the Concession.

One part of our settlement with Tullow and Dana included the relinquishment of their respective 40% and 23% participating interests in the Concession. Hyperdynamics now owns 100% of the participating interests in the Concession.

In addition to clarifying certain elements of the PSC, we agreed in the 2016 Amendment to drill one exploratory well to a minimum depth of 2,500 meters below the seabed within the PSC Extension Period with a projected commencement date of April 2017 (the “Extension Well”) with the option of drilling additional wells. If the Extension Well is not drilled within the PSC Extension Period, we will owe the Government of Guinea the difference between the actual expenditures in Guinea related to the well and $46.0 million. Fulfillment of the work obligations exempts us from the expenditure obligations during the PSC Extension Period.

In turn, we will retain only an area equivalent to approximately 5,000 square kilometers in the Guinea offshore waters and will provide the Government of Guinea: (1) A parent company guarantee for the well obligation, (2) monthly progress reports and a reconciliation of budget to actual expenditures, (failure to provide the reports and assurances on a timely basis could result in a notice of termination with a 30 day period to cure), and (3) guarantees to Guinea that (a) no later than January 21, 2017 we will provide a mutually acceptable security for $5.0 million on terms customary in international petroleum operations, provided that this security is to be released at the time the drilling rig for the Extension Well is on location offshore Guinea, and (b) no later than April 12, 2017, we will deliver a mutually acceptable security for the difference between $46.0 million and the amount spent to date on the Extension Well.

For the purposes of calculation for this clause (Article 4 of the PSC), however, only costs spent for services and goods provided in Guinea shall be taken into account until the drilling rig to be used in the drilling of the Extension Well is located in the territorial waters of the Republic of Guinea. If we do not provide either security by the specified dates, the Government of Guinea may terminate the PSC immediately and without prior notice to remedy such deficiency.

Table of Contents

Additionally, we agreed to limit the cost recovery pool to date to our share of expenditures in the PSC since 2009 (estimated to be approximately $150,000,000 net to our interest) and begin to move into the territory of Guinea the long lead items we received in the Settlement Agreement that are currently stored in Takoradi, Ghana for the drilling of the Extension Well in 2017. The movement of approximately $1.6 million of the $4.1 million of equipment was started on January 29, 2017 and was completed on February 5, 2017. The balance of the material still in Ghana will be moved at a later date. Finally, we agreed to allocate and administer a training budget during the PSC Extension Period for the benefit of the Guinea National Petroleum Office of $250,000 in addition to any unused portion of the training program under Article 10.3 of the PSC. The unused portion of the training program is now estimated to be approximately $500,000.

In January 2017 the Company requested and then received a notification letter dated January 24, 2017 from the General Director of the National Petroleum Office of the Republic of Guinea, informing the Company that the Republic of Guinea granted a postponement to provide a mutually acceptable security of $5.0 million to February 20, 2017 as well as a clarification regarding the timing of the security under Article 4.2 of the 2016 PSC Amendment until the work on the Fatala-1 well is completed.

On March 1, 2017, the Republic of Guinea has issued a reservation of rights letter asserting the Company has not satisfied its obligation to deposit mutually acceptable security of $5.0 million. The Company and the Republic of Guinea have been and continue to be in negotiations regarding the mutually acceptable assets that would satisfy the $5.0 million requirement. These negotiations have not yet reached a conclusion.

If we do not reach an agreement with the Government of Guinea on a mutually acceptable security instrument the Government of Guinea may terminate the PSC at any time and without prior notice to remedy such non-compliance with the PSC. To date the $5.0 million security has not been provided and no extension, though requested, subsequent to February 20 has been provided by the Republic of Guinea.

Also, if the well is not drilled during the Extension Period we will owe the Republic of Guinea the difference between the $46.0 million and the costs incurred to date on the Extension Well.

Failure to comply with the drilling and other obligations of the PSC as amended subjects us to financial penalties and a risk of loss of the Concession. Any future delay in drilling plans would adversely affect the ability to explore the Concession and reduce the attractiveness of the Concession to prospective industry participants and financing parties. While we currently hold 100% of the Concession, it is unknown whether we will be able to raise the necessary funds to drill the exploratory well during the PSC Extension Period.

Absent cash inflows, we will not have adequate capital resources to meet our current obligations as they become due and therefore there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to meet our current obligations as they become due over the next twelve-months, and to be able to continue exploration, will depend on obtaining additional resources through sales of interests in the Concession, equity or debt financial offerings, or through other means.

No assurance can be given that any of these actions can be completed.

Results of Operations

Based on the factors discussed below the net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended December 31, 2016 increased $4.9 million to a net loss of $6.7 million, or $0.31 per share, from a net loss of $1.9 million, or $0.09 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2015. Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the six months ended December 31, 2016 increased $1.8 million to a net loss of $5.6 million, or $0.26 per share, from a net loss of $3.8 million, or $0.18 per share for the six months ended December 31, 2015.

The increase in net loss attributable to common shareholders for the current fiscal year three month period is primarily the result of the $1.3 million cost of issuing the 600,000 shares of common stock for the Iroquois legal settlement, $0.4 million downward revision in fair market value on our oil and gas well construction equipment, Full-cost ceiling test write-down of $0.8 million and increased general and administrative costs incurred on resuming operatorship of our Guinea Concession.

The increase in net loss attributable to common shareholders for the current fiscal year six month period is primarily the result of the $4.8 million gain on the legal settlement with Tullow and Dana being more than offset by the $1.3 million cost of the Iroquois case legal settlement, Full-cost ceiling test write-down of $0.8 million and increased general and administrative costs incurred on resuming operatorship of our Guinea Concession.

Reportable segments

We have one reportable segment: our international operations in Guinea conducted through our subsidiary SCS. SCS is engaged in oil and gas exploration activities pertaining to offshore Guinea.

Table of Contents

Three months ended December 31, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2015

Revenues . There were no revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Depreciation . Depreciation on property and equipment decreased 62% or $17 thousand from the fiscal 2015 period to the fiscal 2016 period. Depreciation expense was $10,400 and $27,700 in the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributed to only a small amount of asset additions subject to depreciation in the current year whereas a large portion of the assets in service in the prior year became fully depreciated early in the current year.

General, Administrative and other Operating Expenses . Our general, administrative and other operating expenses were $4.3 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This represents an increase of 134% or $2.5 million from the fiscal 2015 period to the fiscal 2016 period. We had increases in personnel related costs of approximately $0.4 million, and an increase in legal and other professional fees of $1.7 million related to legal activity and contract services required for the resumption of operatorship in our Guinea Concession. Additionally, we had increased costs relating to our special shareholder meeting and proxy solicitation of $0.1 million, increased directors’ and officers’ insurance premium costs of $0.1 million, increased travel expenses of $0.1 million and the Guinea branch office startup and infrastructure costs of $0.1 million.

Full-cost ceiling test write-down. During the quarter ended December 31, 2016 we impaired $0.8 million of unproved oil and gas property costs capitalized during the current quarter ($0.5 million) and previous quarter ($0.3 million). That impairment assessment was based on our liquidity position, and the possibility that we may not reach an agreement with the Government of Guinea regarding the requirement under the PSC to provide a mutually acceptable security of $5.0 million and the possibility that the Government of Guinea may at any time and without prior notice terminate our Concession.

Cost of legal settlement . We recognized a $1.3 million cost of the Iroquois legal case based on a settlement agreement at the end of December whereby we would issue 600,000 shares of company stock which we value based on the settlement date at $2.18 per share. The common stock was issued on February 2, 2017.

We also made a $0.4 million downward revision in the fair market value on our oil and gas well equipment inventory we received from Tullow in the Tullow and Dana legal settlement. This revision was based on additional information received on this equipment once this equipment was in our possession and as we readied it to be moved into Guinea from Ghana.

Loss from Operations . As a result of the factors discussed above, our loss from operations increased by $3.2 million from $1.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2015 to $5.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016.

Six months ended December 31, 2016 Compared to Six Months Ended December 31, 2015

Revenues . There were no revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Depreciation . Depreciation on property and equipment decreased 37% or $21 thousand from the fiscal 2015 period to the fiscal 2016 period. Depreciation expense was $35 thousand and $56 thousand in the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributed to only a small amount of asset additions and related modest depreciation in the current year whereas a large portion of the assets in service in the prior year became fully depreciated early in the current year.

General, Administrative and Other Operating Expenses . Our general, administrative and other operating expenses were $8.2 million and $3.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This represents an increase of 123% or $4.5 million from the fiscal 2015 period to the fiscal 2016 period. The increase in expense was attributable to increases in personnel related costs of approximately $0.5 million and an increase in legal and professional fees of $3.4 million, related to our lawsuits against Tullow and Dana and with services required for the resumption of operatorship costs in our Guinea Concession. Additionally, we had increased costs relating to our special shareholder meeting and proxy solicitation of $0.1 million, increased directors’ and officers’ insurance costs of $0.1 million, increased travel expenses of $0.3 million and the Guinea branch office startup and infrastructure costs of $0.1 million.

Full-cost ceiling test write-down. During the period ended December 31, 2016 we impaired $0.8 million of unproved oil and gas property costs capitalized. That impairment assessment was based on our liquidity position, and the possibility that we may not reach an agreement with the Government of Guinea regarding the requirement under the PSC to provide a mutually acceptable security of $5.0 million and the possibility that the Government of Guinea may at any time and without prior notice terminate our Concession.

Gain and cost on legal settlements . The $4.8 million gain on legal settlement with Tullow and Dana includes a cash payment from Tullow to us of $686,570 and the fair value of $4.1 million for the well construction material we received from Tullow as a part of our Settlement and Release Agreement.

We recognized a $1.3 million cost of the Iroquois legal case based on a settlement agreement at the end of December whereby we would issue 600,000 shares of company stock which we value based on the settlement date at $2.18 per share. The common stock was issued on February 2, 2017.

Table of Contents

In deciding to settle we considered the possibility that the plaintiffs’ claims for breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation could have result in a judgment that could have awarded damages in amounts ranging from $4.0 million to $18.5 million plus pre-judgment interest. Because we are seeking equity investment and project partners among many oil companies management decided to pursue the settlement option, eliminate this legal risk for the Company and thus improve the Company’s attractiveness as a joint venture partner or as an investment in its stock.

Loss from Operations . As a result of the factors discussed above, our loss from operations increased by $5.3 million from $3.8 million in the six months ended December 31, 2015 to $9.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was $7.2 million compared to $4.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The increase in cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to the $4.5 million increase in general, administrative and other operating costs, partially offset by changes in working capital during the periods, and the $0.7 million in cash received from the legal settlement with Tullow and Dana.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was $0.9 million compared to $20 thousand net cash used in the six months ended December 31, 2015. The increase primarily relates to oil and gas property costs incurred by the Company in resumption of the prospect development as operator of the Guinea Concession.

Financing Activities

There were $18 thousand of cash proceeds provided by financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2016 as a result of the exercise of stock options. There was no cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2015.

Liquidity

On December 31, 2016, we had $2.2 million in cash and 1.5 million in trade accounts payable and accrued expense liabilities, all of which are current. We plan to use our existing cash to fund our general corporate needs and our expenditures associated with the Concession. However, the net working capital of approximately $0.7 million will not be sufficient to meet our corporate needs and Concession related activities for the quarter ending March 31, 2017. We are currently pursuing several avenues to raise funds.

As of February 28, 2017 the Company’s trade accounts payable and accrued expenses exceeded its cash balances.

The DOJ and SEC investigations and the Tullow and Dana arbitration are resolved and closed. Through several annual periods ended June 30, 2016 these matters cumulatively cost us a total of approximately $12.8 million.

In addition, the legal and professional fees related to legal actions taken against Tullow and Dana, as described in Note 6 of the financial statements, also were costly and also reduced our liquidity. We incurred approximately $1.6 million in legal and professional fees related to these legal actions in the year ended June 30, 2016 and approximately $0.4 million in the period ended December 31, 2016 for a cumulative total of $2.0 million.

Table of Contents

The Iroquois lawsuit is similarly settled as discussed in Note 6 of the financial statements. The $1.35 million part of the cash settlement was funded by our insurance underwriters. The non-cash expense part of the settlement that is reported in the quarter ended December 31, 2016 was subsequently settled on February 2, 2017 by the issuance of the 600,000 shares of common stock.

On September 15, 2016, we executed a second amendment to our Production Sharing Contract that was approved on September 21, 2016 by a Presidential Decree from the Republic of Guinea where we received a one year extension to September 22, 2017 and confirmed we are the holder of 100% and operator of the Concession. In turn, we agreed to drill one exploratory well to a minimum depth of 2,500 meters below the seabed with a projected commencement of April 2017 and a budget of approximately $46.0 million.

Failure to comply with the drilling and other obligations of the PSC subjects us to risk of loss of the Concession. Potential future delays due to liquidity could adversely affect the ability to explore the Concession in a timely manner which will diminish the attractiveness of the Concession to prospective industry participants and financing sources.

Our current capital resources are not sufficient to cover our financial commitments required to meet the additional exploration activity in the Concession. We will seek such funding through additional sales of interest in the Concession, from equity or debt or other financial instruments.

As a result and absent cash inflows, we will not have adequate capital resources to meet our current obligations as they become due. Our ability to meet our current obligations as they become due over the next quarter and twelve months and to be able to continue with our operations will depend on obtaining additional resources through sales of additional interests in the Concession, issuing equity or debt securities, or through other means, and the resumption of petroleum operations.

No assurance can be given that any of these actions can be completed.

Capital Expenditures

During the first six months of fiscal 2017, we incurred an additional $0.8 million on unproved oil and gas properties and $42 thousand for property, plant and equipment. This compares to the first six months of fiscal 2016, where we spent $20 thousand on unproved oil and gas properties

In the legal settlement with Tullow and Dana, we also received long lead items of well construction material previously purchased by the Consortium in preparation for the initial drilling of the Fatala-1 well. The fair market value at the date of settlement, taking into account the condition of the material and then current pricing among other factors, was determined to be $4.1million. This part of the settlement was a non-cash transaction and was recorded as an oil and gas property asset addition and a gain on legal settlement.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our functional currency is the US dollar. We had, prior to their closures, some foreign currency exchange rate risk resulting from our in-country offices in Guinea and the United Kingdom, and from certain costs in our drilling program. US dollars are accepted in Guinea and many of our purchases and purchase obligations, such as our office lease in Guinea, were denominated in US dollars. However, our costs for labor, supplies and fuel could have increased if the Guinea Franc, the Euro, or the Pound Sterling significantly appreciated against the US dollar. We did not hedge the exposure to currency rate changes. We do not believe our exposure to market risk to be material.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2016. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2016, our PEO and PFO concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Our management, including the PEO and PFO, identified no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2016, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we and our subsidiaries are involved in business disputes. We are unable to predict the outcome of such matters when they arise. Currently pending proceedings, in our opinion, will not have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial statements. The following are the only legal proceedings with material developments during the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2016.

Iroquois and Shareholder Lawsuits

On December 31, 2016 we entered into a settlement agreement with the five hedge funds in the Iroquois lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Hyperdynamics would issue to the plaintiffs a total of 600,000 new shares of common stock, and it would cause a payment to be made of $1.35 million in cash that would be covered under its directors’ and officers’ insurance policy. The plaintiffs are restricted from selling the shares of common stock before April 1, 2017 under the terms of the agreement.

On January 26, 2017 an order to approve the settlement agreement was entered in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County and subsequently approved by the Court on the same day.

Beginning on March 13, 2014, two lawsuits styled as class actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas against the Company and several then-current officers of the Company alleging that the Company made false and misleading statements that artificially inflated its stock prices. The lawsuits alleged, among other things, that the Company misrepresented its compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and anti-money laundering statutes and that it lacked adequate internal controls. The lawsuits sought damages based on Sections 10(b) and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, although the specific amount of damages was not specified. On May 12, 2014, a shareholder filed a motion for appointment as lead plaintiff.

Both of the March 2014 lawsuits were dismissed voluntarily. One was dismissed during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and the second was dismissed on October 6, 2016.

Tullow and Dana Legal Actions

On January 11, 2016, we filed legal actions against members of the Consortium under the Joint Operating Agreement governing the oil and gas exploration rights offshore Guinea (“JOA”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas and before the AAA against Tullow for their failure to meet their obligations under the JOAC. On January 28, 2016, the action in the Federal District Court was voluntarily dismissed by us and refiled in District Court in Harris County, Texas. On February 8, 2016 Tullow and Dana removed the case to Federal District Court.

With the exception of limited relief regarding discovery and agreement by Tullow to maintain certain well plan readiness, the Emergency Arbitrator ruled on February 17, 2016, that SCS is not entitled to the emergency injunctive relief it requested. Further, the Emergency Arbitrator enjoined all parties to the dispute from pursuing parallel District Court proceedings. On February 12, 2016, the case was voluntarily stayed by us.

The AAA action sought (1) a determination that Tullow and Dana were in breach of their contractual obligations and (2) the damages caused by the repeated delays in well drilling caused by the activities of Tullow and Dana. We determined to bring the legal actions only after it became apparent that Tullow and Dana would not move forward, despite many opportunities to

Table of Contents

do so, with petroleum operations. SCS believed that it had exhausted all of its options for the pursuit of legal measures to require Tullow and Dana to drill the planned exploration well.

On August 15, 2016, we subsequently entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement with Tullow and Dana (“Settlement and Release”) with respect to our dispute in arbitration. Under the Settlement and Release, we released all claims against Tullow and Dana and Tullow and Dana (i) issued to the Government of Guinea a notice of withdrawal from the Concession and PSC effective immediately, (ii) transferred their interest in the long lead items of well construction material previously purchased by the Consortium in preparation for the initial drilling of the Fatala well, and agreed to pay net cash of $0.7 million to us. We also agreed to pay Dana a success fee based upon the certified reserves of the Fatala well if it results in a discovery.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are required to provide certain securities under the terms of the PSC at certain specific dates or face losing our Concession.

On March 1, 2017, the Republic of Guinea has issued a reservation of rights letter asserting the Company has not satisfied its obligation to deposit mutually acceptable security of $5.0 million. The Company and the Republic of Guinea have been and continue to be in negotiations regarding the mutually acceptable assets that would satisfy the $5.0 million requirement. These negotiations have not yet reached a conclusion.

Also, if the well is not drilled during the Extension Period we will owe the Republic of Guinea the difference between the $46.0 million and the costs incurred to date on the Extension Well.

We require additional financing to meet our general and administrative obligations and in order to fulfill our PSC commitments. We are currently not in a position to predict when, if ever, we will be able to meet those obligations.

Absent cash inflows, we will not have adequate capital resources to meet our current obligations as they become due and therefore there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to meet our obligations will depend on obtaining additional funding through sales of additional interests in the Concession, issuing equity or debt securities, or through other means, which we currently pursue. No assurance can be given that any of these actions can be completed.

The Concession offshore Guinea is our principal asset and we do not have the funds necessary to fulfill our obligations under the PSC, as amended, and our ability to obtain additional financing is likely dependent upon raising funds through the issuance of corporate equity or debt instruments and/or reaching farm-in agreements with prospective partner(s) who will share the costs of the exploration program for the Concession area. There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the funds or acquiring the partners in the time needed to execute the program required in the PSC Second Amendment.

We operate in the Republic of Guinea, a country which is a high-risk jurisdiction for corruption that could impair our ability to do business in the future or result in significant fines or penalties.

Following the settlements with Tullow and Dana, we resumed the role of operator of the prospect in the Republic of Guinea a country where corruption has been known to exist. There is a risk of violating either the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, laws or legislation promulgated pursuant to the 1997 OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions, or Guinea anti-corruption regulations that generally prohibit the making of improper payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business.

The Republic of Guinea is largely a cash-based society and that creates additional internal control and related risks. We have been subject to FCPA investigations by the Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission into how we obtained or retained the original Concession and spent approximately $12.8 million in legal fees in working with the US Government. Those matters were resolved in 2015, but should the DOJ, the SEC, or the Republic of Guinea open additional investigations regarding prior or current activities in the Republic Guinea or elsewhere, we do not have the financial ability to

Table of Contents

bear the cost of additional investigations and are unable to predict whether we will be able to raise the funds to properly defend the Company.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION, NUMBER, POWERS,

PREFERENCES AND RELATIVE, PARTICIPATING,

OPTIONAL, AND OTHER SPECIAL RIGHTS AND THE

QUALIFICATIONS, LIMITATIONS, RESTRICTIONS,

AND OTHER DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS OF

SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

The undersigned President and Secretary of this Corporation hereby certify that the Board of Directors of the Corporation, pursuant to the authority expressly vested in it has adopted the following resolutions creating a Series A issue of Preferred Stock:

RESOLVED, that five thousand (5,000) of the twenty million (20,000,000) authorized shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall be designated Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and shall possess the rights and privileges set forth below:

A. Par Value, Stated Value, Accretion Rate, Purchase Price and Certificates .

1. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have $.001 par value and a stated value (face amount) of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) (the “Stated Value”).

2. The Series A Preferred Stock shall be offered at a purchase price of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) per share.

3. Certificates representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased shall be issued by the Corporation to the purchasers immediately upon acceptance of the subscriptions to purchase such shares and receipt by the Corporation of the purchase price for such shares.

B. Dividends .

1. Amount and Payment of Dividend . Subject to the limitations hereinafter set forth, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum of the original issue price thereof of One Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,000.00) per share, and no more, payable only at the time such shares are converted pursuant to Section D hereof. Such dividends may be paid in cash or in shares of Common Stock of the Corporation as determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion; provided, however, no fractional shares of either security may be issued for dividends, any fractional shares will be rounded to the nearest whole share, and provided further that if any such dividend is paid in whole or in part by shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of such security to be issued as a stock dividend shall be determined by the Market Value (as defined in Section I below) of a share of Common Stock as of the last day of the period for such stock dividend. Any shares of

Series A Preferred Stock issued after the date hereof shall accrue dividends from the later of the date of full payment therefor by the purchaser of such shares or issuance thereof by the Corporation.

2. Cumulative Rights . To the extent, if any, that dividends at the rate set forth in Section B(1) above shall not be paid or set apart in full for the Series A Preferred Stock, the aggregate deficiency shall be cumulated and must be fully paid or set apart for payment before any dividends may be paid upon or set apart for the Common Stock of the Corporation or before the Corporation may purchase any of its Common Stock or otherwise make any distribution on account of its Common Stock or any other class of capital stock now or hereafter authorized or issued by the Corporation which ranks on a parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (other than (i) a dividend payable in Common Stock, or (ii) by conversion into or exchange for capital stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends).

3. No Interest on Accrued Dividends . Any accumulations of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall not bear interest.

C. Liquidation Preference .

1. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock then issued and outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, before any payment shall be made to the holders of shares of the Common Stock or upon any other series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation with a liquidation preference subordinate to the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock, an amount per share equal to the Stated Value. If, upon any Liquidation of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of any other series of Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference equal to the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock the full amounts to which they shall respectively be entitled, the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of any other series of Preferred Stock with liquidation preference equal to the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock shall receive all of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution and each such holder of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of any other series of Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference equal to the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution in accordance with the amounts due such shareholders. After payment shall have been made to the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock of the full amount to which they shall be entitled, as aforesaid, the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to no further distributions thereon and the holders of shares of the Common Stock and of shares of any other series of stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to share, according to their respective rights and preferences, in all remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders.

2. A merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, or a sale, lease, exchange, or transfer of all or any part of the assets of the Corporation which shall not in fact result in the liquidation (in whole or in part) of the Corporation and the distribution of its assets to its shareholders shall not be deemed to be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation (in whole or in part), dissolution, or winding-up of the Corporation.

D. Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock .

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following conversion rights:

1. Right to Convert . When such shares become convertible in accordance with Section D(1) hereof, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible at the Conversion Prices set forth below into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (sometimes referred to herein as “Conversion Shares”).

2. Mechanics of Conversion . Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock who desires to convert the same into shares of Common Stock shall provide notice (“Conversion Notice”) via facsimile to the Corporation. The original Conversion Notice and the certificate or certificates representing the Series A Preferred Stock for which conversion is elected shall be delivered to the Corporation by international courier, duly endorsed. The date upon which a Conversion Notice is received by the Corporation shall be a “Notice Date.” Upon receipt by the Corporation of a facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice, the Corporation shall immediately send to the holder, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of the Conversion notice which shall specify that the Conversion Notice has been received and the name and telephone number of a contact person at the Corporation whom the holder should contact regarding information related to the conversion. The Corporation shall use all reasonable efforts to issue and deliver within three (3) business days after the Notice Date, to such holder of Series A Preferred Stock at the address of the holder on the stock books of the Corporation, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled as aforesaid; provided that the original shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted are received by the transfer agent or the Corporation within three (3) business days after the Notice Date and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date. If the original certificate(s) representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted are not received by the transfer agent or the Corporation within three (3) business days after the Notice Date, the Conversion Notice shall become null and void.

3. Lost or Stolen Certificates . Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence of the loss, destruction, theft or mutilation of any Series A Preferred Stock certificates (the “Certificates”) and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, and upon surrender and cancellation of the Certificates, if mutilated, the Corporation shall execute and deliver new Series A Preferred Stock Certificates of like tenor and date. However, the Corporation shall not be obligated to re-issue such lost or stolen Series A Preferred Stock Certificates if the holder thereof contemporaneously requests the

Corporation to convert such Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock, in which event the Corporation shall be entitled to rely on an affidavit of loss, destruction or theft of the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate or, in the case of mutilation, tender of the mutilated certificate, and shall issue the Conversion Shares.

4. Conversion Dates . The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall become convertible into shares of Common Stock upon the earlier of (i) the effective date of a registration statement covering the Conversion Shares, or (ii) the ninetieth (90th) day after the issuance of each such share of Series A Preferred Stock (referred to as a “Conversion Date”).

5. Conversion Formula/Conversion Price . Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with the following formula (the “Conversion Formula”):

$1,000.00

Conversion Price

where,

Conversion Price =		Average Price at Closing or the Average Price at Conversion, whichever is less.

Average Price at Closing =		The five (5)-day average Closing Bid Price for the Corporation’s Common Stock on the trading date immediately before the date such Series A Preferred Stock was issued.

Average Price at Conversion =		Eighty percent (80%) of (that is, a 20% discount to) the five (5)-day average Closing Bid Price for the Corporation’s Common Stock immediately before the Conversion Date.

For purposes hereof, the term “Closing Bid Price” shall mean the closing bid price for the Corporation’s Common Stock on the NASD Electronic Bulletin Board, or if no longer traded thereon, the closing bid price on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is so traded.

6. Automatic Conversion . Each share of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding on January 30, 2002 shall be converted automatically into Common Stock on such date in accordance with the Conversion Formula and the Conversion Price then in effect, and January 30, 2002 shall be deemed to be the Notice Date with respect to such conversion.

7. No Fractional Shares . If any conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock would create a fractional share of Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, if the aggregate, shall be the next higher number of shares.

8. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion . The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

9. Adjustment to Conversion Price .

(a) If, prior to the conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock split, stock dividend, or other similar event, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced, or if the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a combination or reclassification of shares, or other similar event, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased.

(b) If, prior to the conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Corporation shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of stock or securities of the Corporation or another entity, then the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such shares of stock and/or securities as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holders had such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization or reorganization not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock or securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. The Corporation shall not effect any transaction described in this subsection unless the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Corporation) assumes by written instrument the obligation to deliver to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock such shares of stock and/or securities as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may be entitled to purchase.

(c) If any adjustment under this subsection would create a fractional share of Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be the next higher number of shares.

E. Voting .

Notwithstanding the above, Corporation shall provide holders of the Series A Preferred Stock (“Holders”) with notification of any meeting of the shareholders regarding any major corporate events affecting the Corporation.

To the extent that under Delaware law the Holders are entitled to vote on a matter with holders of Common Stock, voting together as one (1) class, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which it is then convertible using the record date for the taking of such vote of stockholders as the date as of which the Conversion Price is calculated. The Holders also shall be entitled to notice of all shareholder meetings or written consents with respect to which they would be entitled to vote, which notice would be provided pursuant to the Corporation’s by-laws and applicable statutes.

F. Protective Provisions . So long as shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the Holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock:

(a) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the Series A Preferred Stock;

(b) create any new class or series of stock or issue any capital stock senior to or having a preference over or parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, payments upon Liquidation (as provided for in Section B of this Designation) or

redemption, or increase the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock or change the Stated Value thereof;

(c) do any act or thing not authorized or contemplated by this Designation which would result in taxation of the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock under Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or any comparable provision of the Internal Revenue Code as hereafter from time to time amended); or

(d) enter into a merger in which the Corporation is not the surviving corporation; provided, however, that the provisions of this subparagraph (d) shall not be applicable to any such merger if the authorized capital stock of the surviving corporation immediately after such merger shall include only classes or series of stock for which no such consent or vote would have been required pursuant to this section if such class or series had been authorized by the Corporation immediately prior to such merger or which have the same rights, preferences and limitations and authorized amount as a class or series of stock of the Corporation authorized (with such consent or vote of the Series A Preferred Stock) prior to such merger and continuing as an authorized class or series at the time thereof.

G. Status of Converted Stock . In the event any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted as contemplated by this Designation, the shares so converted shall be canceled, shall return to the status of authorized but unissued Preferred Stock of no designated class or series, and shall not be issuable by the Corporation as Series A Preferred Stock.

H. Taxes . All shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Corporation shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant hereto. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the Series A Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such transfer has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid or that no such tax is payable. The Corporation shall adjust the amount of dividends paid or accrued so as to indemnify the holders of Preferred Stock against any withholding or similar tax in respect of such dividends.

I. Determination of Market Value of Capital Stock of Corporation . The determination of the per share “Market Value” of Common Stock as set forth in previous Sections shall be determined using the previous five day average closing bid price for the day or, where no sale is made on that day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices for that day on the NASDAQ Stock Market or the OTC Bulletin Board if the securities are at the time listed or quoted thereon, respectively, or, if it is not so listed or quoted, on any other national securities exchange selected by the Corporation on which it is at the time listed. If at the applicable time the Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the foregoing calculations shall be based on a Trade and Quote Summary Report from the OTC Bulletin Board Research Service if

available, and if not, on any other publicly available data reasonably deemed reliable by the Corporation.

FURTHER RESOLVED , that the statements contained in the foregoing resolutions creating and designating the said Series A Preferred Stock and fixing the number, powers, preferences and relative, optional, participating, and other special rights and the qualifications, limitations, restrictions, and other distinguishing characteristics thereof shall, upon the effective date of said series, be deemed to be included in and be a part of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation pursuant to the provisions the Delaware General Corporation Law.

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Settlement Shares, Settlement Payment, and Dismissal of the Action

1.1 Issuance of Common Stock in HDYN (the “Common Stock”) to Investors:

(a) The parties shall seek approval of the issuance of 600,000 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in HDYN in the aggregate amount to Investors (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations and other similar transactions occurring after the date hereof) (the “Settlement Shares”) from the Court in a fairness hearing held pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) (“Section 3(a)(10)”) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). If the Court approves the issuance in accordance with Section 3(a)(10), HDYN shall issue the Settlement Shares to Investors, subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 1.1(b)-(c) below, in the amounts set forth below:

Investor		Number of Shares
Hudson Bay		59,394
Kingsbrook		96,843
Iroquois		200,316
Parkfield		243,447

(b) If the Court approves the issuance of the Settlement Shares in accordance with Section 3(a)(10), the Settlement Shares shall be tradeable without registration under the 1933 Act in the hands of the Investors. However, notwithstanding the Investors seeking an order

regarding the issuance of the Settlement Shares,(1) by signing this Settlement Agreement, the Investors expressly agree not to sell, transfer, or assign the Settlement Shares before April 1, 2017. If the Court does not approve the issuance of the Settlement Shares in accordance with Section 3(a)(10), the Settlement Shares shall be issued to the Investors as restricted shares in the amounts set forth above and HDYN shall be obligated to file a resale registration statement under the 1933 Act registering the Settlement Shares for resale by the Investors (the “Registration Statement”). HDYN shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission as promptly as possible following failure of the Court to approve the issuance of the Settlement Shares in accordance with Section 3(a)(10), such that the Registration Statement will become effective on or before April 1, 2017. In the event HDYN is required to file a Registration Statement pursuant to this provision, the fees and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees) for preparation, filing, and obtaining effectiveness of the Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement Costs”) shall be apportioned as follows: (1) for Registration Statement Costs up to $50,000 total, HDYN shall pay 50% of the Registration Statement Costs and the Investors shall pay 50% of the Registration Statement Costs; and (2) for total Registration Costs above $50,000, the Investors will pay 100% of all Registration Statement Costs exceeding $50,000. Until the Investors remit payment for any Registration Statement Costs owed under this provision, HDYN shall not be obligated to request acceleration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HDYN may defer the filing or effectiveness of such Registration Statement if (1) HDYN is engaged in another unregistered capital markets transaction and the Registration Statement will, in HDYN’s good faith judgment, interfere or disrupt materially the

(1) The date upon which the Court issues an order regarding the Settlement Shares (the “Order”) shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Court Order Date”.

other unregistered capital markets transaction or (2) if material non-public information exists that HDYN cannot disclose at the time, in HDYN’s good faith judgment, for significant commercial purposes.

(c) If HDYN shall at any time propose to conduct an underwritten offering of Common Stock for cash (excluding an offering relating solely to an employee benefit plan, an offering relating to a transaction on Form S-4 or S-8 or an offering on any registration statement form that does not permit secondary sales) (an “ Underwritten Offering ”), HDYN shall promptly notify all Investors of such proposal reasonably in advance of (and in any event at least five (5) business days before) the commencement of the offering, which notice will set forth the principal terms and conditions of the issuance, including the proposed offering price (or range of offering prices), the anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement and the number of shares of Common Stock that are proposed to be registered (the “Piggyback Notice” ); provided, however, notwithstanding any other provision of this Settlement Agreement, if the managing underwriter or managing underwriters of an Underwritten Offering advise HDYN that in their reasonable opinion that the inclusion of any Settlement Shares requested for inclusion in the subject Underwritten Offering (and any related registration, if applicable) would likely have an adverse effect in any material respect on the price, timing or distribution of Common Stock proposed to be included in such Underwritten Offering, HDYN shall have no obligation to provide a Piggyback Notice to Investors and Investors shall have no right to include any Settlement Shares in such Underwritten Offering (and any related registration, if applicable). The Piggyback Notice shall offer the Investors the opportunity to include for registration in such Underwritten Offering (and any related registration, if applicable) the number of Settlement Shares as they may request (a “ Piggyback Registration ”), HDYN shall use commercially reasonable efforts to

include in each such Piggyback Registration such Settlement Share for which HDYN has received written requests for inclusion therein within three (3) business days after sending the Piggyback Notice. If an Investor decides not to include all of its Settlement Shares in any Registration Statement thereafter filed by HDYN, such Investor shall no longer have the right to include any Settlement Shares in any subsequent Piggyback Registration as may be filed by HDYN with respect to offerings of Common Stock, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. Notwithstanding the provisions for cost sharing in Section 1.1(b) above, the costs of inclusion of any of the Settlement Shares in any Piggyback Registration shall be borne by HDYN.

(d) If the managing underwriter or managing underwriters of an Underwritten Offering advise HDYN and the Investors that in their reasonable opinion that the inclusion of all of the Investors’ Settlement Shares requested for inclusion in the subject Piggyback Registration (and any other Common Stock proposed to be included in such offering) would likely have an adverse effect in any material respect on the price, timing or distribution of Common Stock proposed to be included in such offering, HDYN shall include in such Underwritten Offering only that number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such Underwritten Offering that, in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriter or managing underwriters, will not have such effect, with such number to be allocated as follows: (A) first to HDYN, and (B) if there remains availability for additional shares of Common Stock to be included in such registration, the Settlement Shares.

(e) HDYN shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it at any time in its sole discretion whether or not any Investor has elected to include Settlement Shares in such Piggyback Registration. The Registration Statement Costs of such

withdrawn registration statement shall be borne by HDYN. Any Investor shall have the right to withdraw all or part of its request for inclusion of its Settlement Shares in a Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to HDYN of its request to withdraw; provided , that (i) such request must be made in writing prior to the effectiveness of the applicable registration statement and (ii) such withdrawal shall be irrevocable and, after making such withdrawal, an Investor shall no longer have any right to include Settlement Shares in the Piggyback Registration as to which such withdrawal was made.

(f) The obligation of HDYN to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be filed and become effective on or before April 1, 2017, or to include any Settlement Shares in a Piggyback Registration shall terminate with respect to any Settlement Shares if any Settlement Shares are transferred by an Investor or when Settlement Shares otherwise become freely tradeable.

(g) If the Court approves the issuance of the Settlement Shares in accordance with Section 3(a)(10), the Settlement Shares shall be delivered electronically by HDYN to each Investor under this Section 1.1(a) within five (5) business days following the Court Order Date (such date, the “Share Delivery Date”) through the Depository Trust Company DWAC system pursuant to the instructions provided by each Investor to HDYN. HDYN hereby confirms that it can, and will, deliver the shares of Common Stock through DWAC on or before the Share Delivery Date. If the Court does not approve the issuance of the Settlement Shares in accordance with Section 3(a)(10), the Settlement Shares shall be issued in certificated form with appropriate legends evidencing that the Settlement Shares are “restricted shares.” Any restrictive legends shall be removed and HDYN shall issue certificates without such legends to the holder of the Settlement Shares upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic delivery

at the applicable balance account at the DTC, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) such Settlement Shares are registered for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement described in 1.1(b) above, (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides HDYN with an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect such sale, assignment or transfer of the Settlement Shares may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act, or (iii) the Settlement Shares can be sold, assigned, or transferred pursuant to Rule 144. HDYN shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.

1.2 Payment of Cash to Investors:

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Settlement Date but no later than January 16, 2017, HDYN shall pay or cause to be paid to Investors the sum of $1,350,000.00 provided that a completed IRS Form W-9 for FK Law (defined below) and complete wire instructions are provided at least three (3) business days in advance of such payment.

The Investor Releasers agree that the releases contained in this paragraph are intended to be construed as the broadest type of general release.

2.2 General Release of Investors by HDYN: HDYN, on behalf of itself, each and every of its current and former employees, officers, directors, shareholders, investors, members, administrators, agents, attorneys, agents, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors,

successors, business associates, partners, independent contractors, joint venturers, legal representatives, heirs, assigns, third-party beneficiaries, and other representatives and servants (the “HDYN Releasers”), hereby RELEASES, ACQUITS, and FOREVER DISCHARGES the Investors, and each and every of their current and former employees, officers, directors, shareholders, investors, insurers, members, administrators, agents, attorneys, agents, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors, business associates, partners, independent contractors, joint venturers, legal representatives, heirs, assigns, third-party beneficiaries, and other representatives and servants (the “Investor Released Parties”), from any and all claims, actions, rights, demands, causes of action, counterclaims, judgments, debts, liens, contracts, agreements, promises, obligations (fiduciary or otherwise), liabilities, damages, punitive damages, loss, costs, or expenses of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, contingent or vested, arising by subrogation, assignment, reimbursement, operation of law, or otherwise, whether arising under federal, state, local, statutory or common law, or any other law, rule, or regulation, including the law of any jurisdiction outside the United States, whether legal, equitable, or any other type, and which in any way relate to, arise out of, or are in any way connected to any aspect of the Parties’ relationships with each other, dealings with each other, or any acts, omissions, or failures to act, whether such claims arise directly, derivatively, representatively or in any other capacity, including, but not limited to, any issues relating to any claims to payment or compensation of any kind or nature that the HDYN Releasers had, now have, or may assert in the future against the Investor Released Parties arising out of or relating to Action, any complaint filed in the Action, the SPA, and/or any other claims of any kind relating to any activity, communication or transaction that occurred up to and including the Court Order Date, including but not limited to any claims relating to the issuance, sale, conversion or trading

of the Common Stock (or any other securities that were convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock) (collectively the “HDYN Released Claims”). The HDYN Releasers agree that the releases contained in this paragraph are intended to be construed as the broadest type of general release.

2.3 The Parties expressly acknowledge that—under the laws of certain jurisdictions— a general release may not extend to claims that the settling party does not suspect or know exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known to it might have materially affected its settlement. The Parties expressly waive any rights that they may have under the foregoing principle related to the mutual releases contained in the Settlement Agreement, as well as under any other statutory or common-law principles of similar effect. The Parties understand that this provision is an important and material term of this Settlement Agreement.

2.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be construed to release any obligation arising out of this Agreement.

3. HDYN Representations and Warranties: HDYN hereby represents and warrants to the Investors, as of the date of the Settlement Agreement and as of the Court Order Date, if any, that:

3.1 Organization . HDYN is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is formed, and has the requisite power and authorization to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted.

3.2 Authorization; Enforcement; Validity . HDYN has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Settlement Agreement and to issue the Settlement Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution and delivery of this Settlement Agreement by HDYN and the consummation by HDYN of the transactions

contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Settlement Shares) have been duly authorized by HDYN’s board of directors or HDYN’s Bylaws and no further filing, consent or authorization is required by HDYN, its board of directors or its shareholders or other governing body. This Settlement Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by HDYN, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of HDYN, enforceable against HDYN in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies and except as rights to indemnification and to contribution may be limited by applicable law.

3.3 Issuance of Securities . The issuance of the Settlement Shares is duly authorized, and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Settlement Agreement and such Settlement Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens, charges and other encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof (other than the restrictions set forth in Section 1.1(b) or otherwise imposed by applicable law). Subject to the truth and accuracy of the Investors’ representations and warranties in this Settlement Agreement, the issuance by HDYN of the Settlement Shares pursuant to this Settlement Agreement is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) or other applicable exemption.

3.4 No Conflicts . The execution, delivery and performance of this Settlement Agreement by HDYN and the consummation by HDYN of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Settlement Shares) will not (i) result in a violation of its Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, any certificates of designation contained therein) or other organizational documents of HDYN or any of its

subsidiaries, any capital stock of HDYN or Bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which HDYN or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including, without limitation, federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of the market on which HDYN’s Common Stock is traded) applicable to HDYN or any of its subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of HDYN or any of its subsidiaries is bound or affected except, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of HDYN to perform its obligations hereunder.

3.5 Consents . Except as set forth in this Settlement Agreement, HDYN is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court, governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other Person in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under, or contemplated by, this Settlement Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof. All consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which HDYN is required to obtain pursuant to this Settlement Agreement at or prior to the date hereof have been or will be obtained or effected on or prior to the date hereof, and neither HDYN nor any of its subsidiaries are aware of any facts or circumstances which might prevent HDYN from obtaining or effecting any of the registrations, applications or filings contemplated by this Settlement Agreement.

3.6 No General Solicitation; No Integrated Offering . Neither HDYN, nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of

general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or issuance of the Settlement Shares. None of HDYN, its subsidiaries or any of their affiliates, nor any Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Settlement Shares under the 1933 Act, whether through integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or cause this offering of the Settlement Shares to require approval of stockholders of HDYN under any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the securities of HDYN are listed or designated for quotation. None of HDYN, its subsidiaries, their affiliates nor any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps referred to in the preceding sentence that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Settlement Shares under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of any of the Settlement Shares to be integrated with other offerings.

3.7 Application of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreement . HDYN and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, interested stockholder, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or other organizational documents or the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or otherwise which is or could become applicable as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Settlement Agreement, including, without limitation, HDYN’s issuance of the Settlement Shares and the Investors’ ownership of those Settlement Shares, together with all other securities now or hereafter owned or acquired by Investors. HDYN and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any shareholder

rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of shares of common stock or a change in control of HDYN or any of its subsidiaries.

3.8 Transfer Taxes . On the date hereof, all stock transfer or similar taxes (other than income or similar taxes) which are required to be paid in connection with the offer, issuance and transfer of the Settlement Shares to be issued to the Investors hereunder will be, or will have been, fully paid or provided for by HDYN, and all laws imposing such taxes will be or will have been complied with.

3.9 Assignment of Claims . There has been no actual assignment or transfer or purported assignment or other transfer by HDYN of all or any portion of any HDYN Released Claim or other matter or any interest which has been released by HDYN by any provision of this Settlement Agreement. HDYN is the sole owner and real party-in-interest regarding the HDYN Released Claims and other matters released by HDYN pursuant to this Settlement Agreement.

4. Investors Representations and Warranties: Each Investor hereby represents and warrants, only as to itself and no other Investor, to HDYN, as of the date of the Settlement Agreement and the Court Order Date, if any, that:

4.1 Organization . Such Investor is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Settlement Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder.

4.2 No Public Sale or Distribution . Such Investor is acquiring the Settlement Shares being issued to it under this Settlement Agreement for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof in violation of applicable securities laws, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act;

provided, however, by making the representations herein, such Investor does not agree, or make any representation or warranty, to hold any of the shares of Common Stock for any minimum or other specific term beyond April 1, 2017, and reserves the right to dispose of the Settlement Shares at any time on or after April 1, 2017, in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act. Such Investor does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Settlement Shares in violation of applicable securities laws.

4.3 Accredited Investor Status . Such Investor is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

4.4 Reliance on Exemptions . Such Investor understands that the Settlement Shares issued pursuant to this Settlement Agreement are being offered and issued to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws, and that HDYN is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Investor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Investor set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Investor to acquire the Settlement Shares.

4.5 Authorization; Validity; Enforcement . Such Investor has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Settlement Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Settlement Agreement by such Investor has been duly authorized by such Investor’s board of directors, managing directors, principals, or other governing bodies. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Investor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Investor enforceable against such Investor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may

be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

4.6 No Conflicts . The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of this Settlement Agreement and the consummation by such Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Investor, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Investor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Investor, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Investor to perform its obligations hereunder.

4.7 Assignment of Claims . Other than the assignment referenced in Section 5 below, there has been no actual assignment or transfer or purported assignment or other transfer by such Investor of all or any portion of any of the Investor Released Claims as defined in Section 2.1 above or other matter or any interest which has been released by such Investor by any provision of this Settlement Agreement. By execution hereof, each Investor represents, covenants, and warrants that it is the exclusive owner, holder, and real party-in-interest of each and every Investor Released Claim described in Section 2.1 above.

4.8 No Filings . Each Investor represents that, other than the Action, it has not filed any lawsuits, charges or complaints against HDYN with any local, state or federal agency or

court from the beginning of time to the date of execution of this Settlement Agreement, and that they will not do so at any time hereafter based on events occurring or facts in existence prior to the date of execution hereof (except subject to the conditions and agreements set forth herein).

5. Cranshire and Freestone Assignment: Pursuant to a purchase agreement dated as of May 5, 2016, Cranshire and Freestone agreed to irrevocably transfer, convey and assign all of its rights, title, and interest in the Action to Parkfield. As a result, Parkfield represents and warrants (i) as stated in Section 4.7 above that it is the exclusive owner, holder, and real party-in-interest of each and every Investor Released Claim described in Section 2.1 above to the extent that such Investor Released Claim may have belonged to Cranshire and Freestone, (ii) that to the best of Parkfield’s knowledge, Freestone and Cranshire possess no claims against HDYN other than those defined in the Investor Released Claims and released by Parkview herein, and (iii) Parkfield is authorized to enter into, and perform any and all of its obligations under, this Settlement Agreement as if it were Cranshire and Freestone.

6. Indemnification by Parkfield: Parkfield, as assignee of Cranshire and Freestone, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless HDYN for any claims asserted or demands made by any third party purporting to act on behalf of Cranshire or Freestone against HDYN, including any of its parents or subsidiaries, in relation to the HDYN Common Stock acquired by Cranshire and Freestone pursuant to the SPA and the Investor Released Claims described in Section 2.1 above released by Parkfield as assignee of Cranshire and Freestone. In the event that any person or entity asserts a claim for which indemnification is provided for hereunder, HDYN shall, within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice of the claim, give written notice to Parkfield, of the claim(s) for which indemnification is required. Within thirty (30) days of receiving the notice of indemnified claim(s), Parkfield must notify HDYN whether it will provide a defense to the

claim. If Parkfield agrees to provide a defense, it shall make direct payment of all costs and attorneys’ fees, as well as bear all responsibility for payment of losses and damages in the indemnified claim. If Parkfield does not agree within thirty (30) days to provide a defense, Parkfield shall be responsible for payment of any and all liabilities, damages, punitive damages, losses, injuries, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees) incurred by HDYN, with the costs and fees reimbursed as they are paid by HDYN. Unless Parkfield agrees to provide a defense, HDYN may settle the indemnified claim without consent from Parkfield, and Parkfield shall be responsible for payment of any and all any and all liabilities, damages, punitive damages, losses, injuries, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees) incurred by HDYN in connection with such settlement. With respect to claims for which Parkfield has agreed to provide a defense, Parkfield may not settle such claims without the consent of HDYN (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld).

7. Pledge of Shares: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Settlement Agreement, HDYN acknowledges and agrees that the Settlement Shares may be pledged by the Investors in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Settlement Shares. The pledge of the Settlement Shares shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the shares of Common Stock hereunder, and if the Investors effect a pledge of shares it shall not be required to provide HDYN with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to HDYN pursuant to this Settlement Agreement or otherwise.

	The attention of Mr. Ray Leonard

Dear Sir:

We are writing further to your letter dated January 23, 2017 concerning your request for a postponement of the deadline for setting up the bank guarantee and clarification concerning articles 4.2 and 4.7 also pertaining to the establishment of an additional security instrument covering the 46 million dollars equivalent to the budget for producing the FATALA well.

In return, please note as follows:

1. Postponement of the deadline for setting up the bank guarantee:

We are granting your request for a postponement of the deadline for setting up the bank guarantee in the amount of USD 5 million for an additional thirty (30) days from the contractual date of January 21, 2017 initially scheduled for this purpose, thus making the new deadline for setting up this guarantee February 20, 2017 .

We note your commitment to meet this deadline for setting up the bond and to not ask for any further postponements.

Sis-Minière — C/Dixinn — Ckry- PO Box 892 Tel.: (+224) 620 351 665 / 625 256 869 NIE 030417E

2. Clarification concerning the provisions of articles 4.2 and 4.7 of the extension amendment:

We agree with you that it will be financially onerous to put a bank guarantee in the amount of USD 46 million in place on April 12, 2017 and to meet the drilling expenses for the well at the same time.

We grant your request to postpone this date for putting a security instrument in place in case of non-compliance with the contractual obligations, particularly the production of the FATALA well.

The operator is, however, required to deposit the bank guarantee at the end of the work for the FATALA well in the amount of 46 million dollars after deduction of all expenses included in connection with drilling preparations in accordance with the provisions of article 4.1 of the extension contract.
