Note 1- Basis Of Presentation | NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements of PEDEVCO Corp. (“PEDEVCO” or the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in PEDEVCO’s latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the 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 that would substantially duplicate disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, as reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 11, 2022 (the “2021 Annual Report”), have been omitted. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s future financial condition and liquidity will be impacted by, among other factors, the success of our drilling program, the number of commercially viable oil and natural gas discoveries made and the quantities of oil and natural gas discovered, the speed with which we can bring such discoveries to production, the actual cost of exploration, appraisal and development of our prospects, the prevailing prices for, and demand for, oil and natural gas. |

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS | |
Note 2- Description Of Business | NOTE 2 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS PEDEVCO is an oil and gas company focused on the development, acquisition and production of oil and natural gas assets where the latest in modern drilling and completion techniques and technologies have yet to be applied. In particular, the Company focuses on legacy proven properties where there is a long production history, well defined geology and existing infrastructure that can be leveraged when applying modern field management technologies. The Company’s current properties are located in the San Andres formation of the Permian Basin situated in West Texas and eastern New Mexico (the “Permian Basin”) and in the Denver-Julesburg Basin (“D-J Basin”) in Colorado. The Company holds its Permian Basin acres located in Chaves and Roosevelt Counties, New Mexico, through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Pacific Energy Development Corp. (“PEDCO”), which asset the Company refers to as its “Permian Basin Asset,” and it holds its D-J Basin acres located in Weld and Morgan Counties, Colorado, through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Red Hawk Petroleum, LLC (“Red Hawk”), which asset the Company refers to as its “D-J Basin Asset.” The Company believes that horizontal development and exploitation of conventional assets in the Permian Basin and development of the Wattenberg and Wattenberg Extension in the D-J Basin represent among the most economic oil and natural gas plays in the United States (“U.S.”). Moving forward, the Company plans to optimize its existing assets and opportunistically seek additional acreage proximate to its currently held core acreage, as well as other attractive onshore U.S. oil and gas assets that fit the Company’s acquisition criteria, that Company management believes can be developed using its technical and operating expertise and be accretive to shareholder value. |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | |
Note 8- Commitments And Contingencies | NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Lease Agreements Currently, the Company has one operating lease for office space that requires Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 842 treatment, discussed below. The Company’s leases typically do not provide an implicit rate. Accordingly, the Company is required to use its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments based on the information available at the commencement date. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate would reflect the estimated rate of interest that it would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. However, the Company currently maintains no debt, and in order to apply an appropriate discount rate, the Company used an average discount rate of eight publicly traded peer group companies similar to it based on size, geographic location, asset types, and/or operating characteristics. The Company has a sublease for its corporate offices in Houston, Texas on approximately 5,200 square feet of office space that expires on August 31, 2023 and has a base monthly rent of approximately $10,000. Supplemental cash flow information related to the Company’s operating lease is included in the table below (in thousands): Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities $ 60 Supplemental balance sheet information related to operating leases is included in the table below (in thousands): June 30, 2022 Operating lease – right-of-use asset $ 123 Operating lease liabilities - current $ 118 Operating lease liabilities - long-term 21 Total lease liability $ 139 The weighted-average remaining lease term for the Company’s operating lease is 1.2 years as of June 30, 2022, with a weighted-average discount rate of 5.35%. Lease liability with enforceable contract terms that have greater than one-year terms are as follows (in thousands): Remainder of 2022 $ 61 2023 82 Thereafter - Total lease payments 143 Less imputed interest (4 ) Total lease liability $ 139 Leasehold Drilling Commitments The Company’s oil and gas leasehold acreage is subject to expiration of leases if the Company does not drill and hold such acreage by production or otherwise exercises options to extend such leases, if available, in exchange for payment of additional cash consideration. In the D-J Basin Asset, no net acres expire during the remainder of 2022, and no significant net acres expire thereafter (net to our direct ownership interest only). In the Permian Basin Asset, 76 acres are due to expire during the remainder of 2022 and 106 net acres expire thereafter (net to our direct ownership interest only). The Company plans to hold significantly all of this acreage through a program of drilling and completing producing wells. If the Company is not able to drill and complete a well sufficient to hold the acreage before lease expiration, the Company may seek to extend leases where able. Other Commitments Although the Company may, from time to time, be involved in litigation and claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business, the Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceeding. In addition, the Company is not aware of any material legal or governmental proceedings against it or contemplated to be brought against it. As part of its regular operations, the Company may become party to various pending or threatened claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remedies concerning its commercial operations, products, employees and other matters. Although the Company provides no assurance about the outcome of any future legal and administrative proceedings and the effect such outcomes may have on the Company, the Company believes that any ultimate liability resulting from the outcome of such proceedings, to the extent not otherwise provided for or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. |

Net income (loss) per common share-diluted assumes the conversion of all potentially dilutive securities and is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock, as defined above, outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities. Net (loss) income per common share-diluted considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares, as defined above, would have an anti-dilutive effect. The calculation of earnings per share for the periods indicated below were as follows (amounts in thousands, except share and per share data): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, Numerator: 2022 2021 2022 2021 Net income (loss) $ 3,210 $ (225 ) $ 4,549 $ 503 Denominator: Weighted average common shares – basic 85,479,421 79,461,603 85,305,583 78,157,942 Dilutive effect of common stock equivalents: Options - - - 75,830 Denominator: Weighted average common shares – diluted 85,479,421 79,461,603 85,305,583 78,233,772 Earnings (loss) per share – basic $ 0.04 $ (0.00 ) $ 0.05 $ 0.01 Earnings (loss) per share – diluted $ 0.04 $ (0.00 ) $ 0.05 $ 0.01 For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, share equivalents related to options to purchase 1,597,667 compared to 1,278,436 and 1,597,667 compared to 1,126,769, shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share as the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive. |

Note 12- Income Taxes | NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES The Company has estimated that its effective tax rate for U.S. purposes will be zero for the 2022 and 2021 fiscal years as a result of prior net losses and a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets. Consequently, the Company has recorded no provision or benefit for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. |

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | |
Note 13- Subsequent Events | NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On August 2, 2022, the Company received correspondence from the State of New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department ("EMNRD") alleging that the Company’s New Mexico operating subsidiaries, Ridgeway Arizona Oil Corp. (“Ridgeway”) and EOR Operating Company (“EOR”), failed to comply with certain requirements of Agreed Compliance Orders previously negotiated and entered into by each of Ridgeway and EOR with the EMNRD (the “ACOs”), specifically alleging that Ridgeway and EOR failed to provide reports and proof of conducting certain well tests by dates specified in the ACOs. Further, in the correspondence, the EMNRD notified us that the ACOs were now void due to alleged non-compliance, that an aggregate of approximately 333 legacy vertical wells inherited by the Company when it acquired the fields in 2018 were required to be brought back online or plugged immediately, and further demanded that Ridgway and EOR pay civil penalties totaling an aggregate of $850,500 no later than August 31, 2022, with additional penalties accruing thereafter as a result of our alleged non-compliance and interest accruing on unpaid portions thereof at 8.75% per annum. The Company is currently in discussions with the EMNRD regarding the issues raised in the correspondence in an effort to reach a commercially reasonable resolution. To that end, the Company is providing the EMNRD with documentation and records evidencing that the Company believes that it has maintained or exceeded its agreed upon compliance obligations under the ACOs, that the ACOs should not be voided, and that the Company has been performing additional work beyond what was required under the ACOs in order to restore production to various wells and has been conducting additional surface reclamations as prudent operators. The Company is hopeful that the Company and the EMNRD will reach a commercially reasonable resolution that is agreeable to the parties which enables the Company to continue to plug these wells or bring them back online on an agreed upon schedule and will avoid the Company having to pay the demanded civil penalties, although there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in reaching such a resolution or that such penalty fees can be waived. In the event a commercially reasonable resolution cannot be reached with the EMNRD, the Company will be required to pay the currently assessed penalties in full, may be subject to additional penalties and/or actions which may be significant, and will have to promptly commence the plugging of approximately 333 legacy vertical wells at a minimum current estimated cost per well of approximately $45,000. |
