Hemisphere Energy Corporation

4 Q3 2022 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

$12.3 million ($0.13/diluted share) for the same period in 2021. The increase in AFF from operations for three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021 is due primarily to a respective 32% and 65% increase in the combined average realized sales price, and a 72% and 64% increase in production, over the respective comparable periods in 2021.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company reported net income of $9.3 million ($0.09/share) and $18.1 million ($0.18/share), respectively, compared to net income of $2.3 million ($0.03/basic share and $0.02/diluted share) and $0.5 million ($0.01/share) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase of $17.6 million in the first nine months of 2022 is generally the result of an increase in operating field netback of $29.5 million, offset by an increase in depletion of $2.7 million and current and deferred tax expenses of $1.3 million and $6.1 million.

In the third quarter of 2022, the Company's average daily production was 2,870 boe/d (99% oil) representing a 72% increase from 1,671 boe/d (99% oil) over the comparable quarter in 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company's average daily production was 2,801 boe/d (99% oil), representing a 64% increase from 1,704 boe/d (99% oil) for the same period in 2021. This increase is mainly attributed to the success of Hemisphere's enhanced oil recovery projects, as well as the addition of three new wells in the Atlee G pool in the fourth quarter of 2021 and four new wells brought on production in the Atlee F pool during the first quarter of 2022, plus 3 new G wells and two well reentries in the F pool this summer.

crude oil, are based on price postings, which is WTI-adjusted for transportation, quality and the currency conversion rates from United States dollar ("USD") to Canadian dollar.

The Company's combined average realized price increased by 32% to $89.66/boe from $67.87/boe during the comparable three months ended September 30, 2021. The Company's combined average realized price increased by 65% from $61.08/boe to $100.87/boe during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase is the result of a higher realized WTI price, offset by increases of $8.92/bbl and $4.59/bbl respectively in the differential between the WCS and WTI pricing for the three and nine month ended September 30, 2022 over the comparable periods in 2021.
