Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On March 2, 2010 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Avante Petroleum S.A., a Luxembourg public limited liability company (“Avante”).  Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock (the “Acquisition”) of Avante’s wholly owned subsidiary, Avante Colombia S.à.r.l., a Luxembourg private limited liability company (“Avante Colombia”), in exchange for 10,285,819 newly issued shares of our common stock (the “Purchase Price Shares”).  A portion of the consideration (1,500,000 shares) is held in escrow to secure the Sellers’ indemnification obligations under the SPA.

The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet combines balance sheet data for La Cortez Energy, Inc. (“La Cortez”) and Avante Colombia as of December 31, 2009 as if the acquisition had been completed on December 31, 2009. The following unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations combines the statements of operations data for La Cortez and Avante Colombia for the year ended December 31, 2009 as if the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2009. The unaudited pro forma financial information is based upon the historical consolidated financial statements of La Cortez and the historical consolidated financial statements of Avante Colombia and the assumptions, estimates and adjustments which are described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. The assumptions, estimates and adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for purposes of developing such pro forma information. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements include adjustments that have been made to reflect the preliminary purchase price allocations. These preliminary allocations represent estimates made for purposes of these pro forma financial statements and are subject to change upon a final determination of fair value.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of La Cortez that would have been reported had the acquisitions occurred on the dates indicated, nor do they represent a forecast of the consolidated financial position of La Cortez at any future date or the consolidated results of operations for any future period. Furthermore, no effect has been given in the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for synergistic benefits or cost savings that may be realized through the combination of La Cortez and Avante Colombia or costs that may be incurred in integrating La Cortez and Avante Colombia. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in La Cortez’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2009, which is on file with the SEC, and the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of Avante Colombia included in this Form 8-K/A.

1. Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The pro forma data is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the transaction been consummated as of January 1, 2009. Pro forma adjustments reflect only those adjustments which are factually determinable and do not include the impact of potential contingencies, which will not be known until the resolution of the contingency. The preliminary purchase consideration and purchase price allocation has been presented and does not necessarily represent the final purchase price allocation. The preliminary allocations of the purchase consideration to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed herein were based upon preliminary valuations and our estimates and assumptions are still subject to change.

The purchase price of the assets acquired from Avante Colombia was 10,285,819 shares of La Cortez common stock valued at $15,285,000.
