GLOSSARY OF OIL AND GAS TERMS

● Bbl – One stock tank barrel, or 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume, of crude oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.

● BOPD – One barrel of oil per day.

● MBbl – One thousand Bbls.

● Gross oil and gas wells or acres – The Company’s gross wells or gross acres represent the total number of wells or acres in which the Company owns a working interest.

● Net oil and gas wells or acres – Determined by multiplying “gross” oil and natural gas wells or acres by the working interest that the Company owns in such wells or acres represented by the underlying properties.

● Royalty interest. A real property interest entitling the owner to receive a specified portion of the gross proceeds of the sale of oil and natural gas production, or if the conveyance creating the interest provides, a specific portion of oil and natural gas produced, without any deduction for the costs to explore for, develop or produce the oil and natural gas. A royalty interest owner has no right to consent to or approve the operation and development of the property, while the owners of the working interests have the exclusive right to exploit the minerals on the land.

● Working interest. A real property interest entitling the owner to receive a specified percentage of the proceeds of the sale of oil and natural gas production or a percentage of the production, but requiring the owner of the working interest to bear the cost to explore for, develop and produce such oil and natural gas. A working interest owner who owns a portion of the working interest may participate either as operator or by voting their percentage interest to approve or disapprove the appointment of an operator and drilling and other major activities in connection with the development and operation of a property.

● Seismic data. Oil and gas companies use seismic data as their principal source of information to locate oil and gas deposits, both to aid in exploration for new deposits and to manage or enhance production from known reservoirs. To gather seismic data, an energy source is used to send sound waves into the subsurface strata. These waves are reflected back to the surface by underground formations, where they are detected by geophones which digitize and record the reflected waves. Computers are then used to process the raw data to develop an image of underground formations.

● 2-D seismic data. 2-D seismic data has been the standard acquisition technique used to image geologic formations over a broad area. 2-D seismic data is collected by a single line of energy sources which reflect seismic waves to a single line of geophones. When processed, 2-D seismic data produces an image of a single vertical plane of sub-surface data.

● 3-D seismic data. 3-D seismic data is collected using a grid of energy sources, which are generally spread over several miles. A 3-D survey produces a three dimensional image of the subsurface geology by collecting seismic data along parallel lines and creating a cube of information that can be divided into various planes, thus improving visualization. Consequently, 3-D seismic data is a more reliable indicator of potential oil and natural gas reservoirs in the area evaluated.

● Cost oil - The amounts recoverable for operating costs and capital costs incurred.

● Profit oil - The proceeds available after the allocation of cost oil, royalty oil and tax oil.

● Royalty oil – The portion of the available proceeds owned by the royalty interests.

● Tax oil – The amount of petroleum profit tax owed on the sale of crude oil.

Oil and Gas Activities

Nigeria

The Company currently owns 100% of the economic interests under a Production Sharing Contract (“PSC”) and related assets, contracts and rights pertaining to those certain Oil Mining Leases 120 and 121 (“OMLs 120 and 121”) including the producing Oyo Field which is located in deep-water (200-500 meters) approximately 75 km (46 miles) offshore Nigeria.

In December 2009, Allied, CINL and Nigerian Agip Exploration Limited (“NAE”) announced commencement of production from the Oyo Field, located within a portion of the OMLs 120 and 121 in which Allied, CINL and NAE each held a participating interest. The producing wells in the Oyo Field, the Oyo-5 well and the Oyo-6 well, have been connected to the floating, production, storage, and offloading system (“FPSO”) Armada Perdana. The FPSO has a treatment capacity of 40,000 barrels of liquids per day, with gas treatment and re-injection facilities, and is capable of storing up to one million barrels of crude oil. The first lifting (sale) of crude oil from the FPSO occurred in February 2010. As of December 31, 2013, approximately 7.0 million Bbls of crude oil have been lifted from producing wells Oyo-5 and Oyo-6. Some of the associated gas has been re-injected into the Oyo Field reservoir by a third well to minimize flaring and to maximize recovery. The oilfield operations on and disposition of production from the OMLs 120 and 121, including the Oyo Field, were governed by the PSC.

In April 2010, the Company acquired certain economic interests in the Oyo Field through the purchase of that portion of Allied’s and CINL’s rights in the PSC relating to the Oyo Field in exchange for cash and the issuance to CEHL of shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In the 2010 transaction, CEHL became the majority shareholder of the Company. As part of the transaction, the Company gave CEHL registration rights with respect to these shares.

In February 2011, the Company acquired all of Allied’s and CINL’s rights in the PSC outside the Oyo Field (the “Non-Oyo Contract Rights”) for cash and the Company’s agreement to make additional payments, contingent upon completion of specified milestones in any future exploration and development of the OMLs outside of the Oyo Field. Dr. Kase Lawal was at that time the Company’s non-executive Chairman and member of the board of directors, and also a director of each of CEHL and Allied, with indirect ownership of 27.7% of CEHL.

During 2010, the gross production rate from the Oyo Field decreased as compared to initial rates, due to increased gas incursion into the Oyo-5 well and increased water production principally in the Oyo-6 well. Beginning in December 2010, the Company funded a workover of the Oyo-5 well designed to reduce gas production and increase crude oil production from this well. The Company incurred a total of $59.7 million in costs for the workover. The Company is entitled to recover such costs from oil liftings as non-capital costs under the PSC, and as of December 31, 2013, $44.1 million of costs have been recovered as revenue.

In June 2012, Allied acquired all of NAE’s participating interest in the OMLs and all of NAE’s interest in the PSC for $250.0 million in cash subject to certain adjustments. As a result of this transaction, Allied became the operator of the OMLs and the holder of the interests in the PSC apart from the interests previously acquired by the Company in 2010 and 2011.

In September 2013, drilling operations commenced on the Oyo-7 well in OML 120. In October 2013, the preliminary results from the Oyo-7 well were announced. Based on logging while drilling (“LWD”) data, the well encountered gross oil pay of 133 feet (net oil pay of 115 feet) and gross gas pay of 103 feet (net gas pay of 93 feet) in the gas cap from the currently producing Pliocene reservoir, with excellent reservoir quality. The top of the reservoir was penetrated at 5,564 feet. Shortly after in November 2013, the Company announced that the Oyo-7 well had confirmed the presence of hydrocarbons in the deeper Miocene formation. This marked the first time a well had been successfully drilled into the Miocene formation of the Oyo Field. Hydrocarbons were encountered in three intervals totaling approximately 65 feet, as interpreted from the LWD data. Currently, the Oyo-7 well has been temporarily plugged and suspended but is expected to be re-entered and completed in the Pliocene reservoir as an oil producer in mid-2014.

In November 2013, the Company entered into a Transfer Agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire from Allied Energy Plc (“Allied”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CEHL (the 57.2% majority stockholder of the Company), all remaining economic interests in the PSC and related assets, contracts and rights pertaining to OMLs 120 and 121 including the currently producing Oyo Field (the “Allied Assets”). In consideration for the Allied Assets, the Company agreed to issue 497,454,857 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, deliver to Allied a $50.0 million convertible subordinated promissory note (the “Convertible Subordinated Note”) and pay $170.0 million in cash (the “Allied Transaction”). The Allied Transaction closed February 21, 2014. Please see Note 15 – Subsequent Events of the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Allied Transaction.

In January 2014, a long-term drilling contract was signed with Northern Offshore Ltd. (OLSO: NOF.OL) for the drillship Energy Searcher. The rig is expected to be delivered to the Oyo Field in OML 120 in the first half of 2014 to commence completion activities for the Oyo-7 well, drill and complete the Oyo-8 well, and potentially drill both the Oyo-9 well and one Miocene exploration well. The agreement covers an initial term of one year, with an option to extend the contract for an additional one year.

In February 2014, a long-term contract was signed for the floating, production, storage, and offloading system (“FPSO”) Armada Perdana, the vessel that is currently connected to the Company’s producing wells Oyo-5 and Oyo-6 in OML 120. The contract provides for an initial term of five years beginning January 1, 2014, with an automatic extension for an additional term of two years unless terminated by the Company with prior notice. The FPSO can process up to 40,000 barrels of liquid per day, with a storage capacity of approximately one million barrels.

Kenya 

In May 2012, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into four production sharing contracts with the Government of the Republic of Kenya, covering exploration blocks L1B and L16, and new offshore exploration blocks L27 and L28. For all blocks, the Company is the operator, with the Government having the right to participate up to 20%, either directly or through an appointee, in any area subsequent to declaration of a commercial discovery. The Company is responsible for all exploration expenditures.

The Kenya PSCs for blocks L1B and L16 each provide for an initial exploration period of two years with specified minimum work obligations during that period. Prior to the end of the initial exploration period, the Company will conduct, for each block, a gravity and magnetic survey and acquire, process and interpret 2D seismic data. The gravity and magnetic survey on blocks L1B and L16 was completed in April 2013. The Company has the right to apply for up to two additional two-year exploration periods with specified additional minimum work obligations, including the acquisition of 3D seismic data and the drilling of one exploratory well on each block during each such additional period. In December 2013, the Company initiated an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (“ESIA”) study in blocks L1B and L16 in order to obtain the license to carry out a 2D seismic survey.

The Kenya PSCs for blocks L27 and L28 each provide for an initial exploration period of three years with specified minimum work obligations during that period. Prior to the end of the initial exploration period, the Company will conduct, for each block, a regional geological and geophysical study, acquire 2D seismic data and acquire, process and interpret 3D seismic data. The Company has the right to apply for up to two additional two-year exploration periods with specified additional minimum work obligations, including the drilling of one exploratory well on each block, during each such additional period. CAMAC is participating in a multi-client combined gravity / magnetic and 2D seismic survey which is currently underway in blocks L27 and L28.

In addition to the minimum work obligations, each of the Kenya PSCs requires annual surface rental payments, training fund payments and contributions to local community development projects.

The Gambia

In May 2012, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, signed two Petroleum Exploration, Development & Production Licenses with The Republic of The Gambia, for exploration blocks A2 and A5. For both blocks, the Company is the operator, with the Gambian National Petroleum Company (“GNPC”) having the right to elect to participate up to a 15% interest, following approval of a development and production plan. The Company is responsible for all expenditures prior to such approval even if the GNPC elects to participate.

The Gambia Licenses for both blocks provide for an initial exploration period of four years with specified minimum work obligations during that period. Prior to the end of the initial exploration period, the Company will conduct, for each block, a regional geological study, acquire, process and interpret 750 sq. km of 3D seismic data, drill one exploration well to the total depth of 5,000 meters below mean sea level and evaluate drilling results, with the first two work obligations (regional geological study and 3D seismic data acquisition and processing) due prior to the end of the second year. The Company has the right to apply for up to two additional two-year exploration periods with specified additional minimum work obligations, including the drilling of one exploration well during each additional period for each block.

In addition to the minimum work obligations, The Gambia Licenses require annual rental payments, training and community fees.

Reserves

The information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K about our rights to proved reserves as of December 31, 2013, represents evaluations prepared by DeGolyer and MacNaughton (“D&M”), an independent petroleum engineering and geoscience advisory firm. D&M has prepared evaluations on 100 percent of our right to proved reserves and the estimates of proved crude oil reserves attributable to our net interests in oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2013. The scope and results of D&M’s procedures are summarized in a letter which is included as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. For further information on reserves, including information on future net cash flows and the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, please refer to the “Supplemental Data on Oil and Gas Exploration and Producing Activities (Unaudited)” within Part II, Item 8 of the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements of this report.

Internal Controls for Reserve Estimation

Our policies regarding internal controls over the recording of reserve estimation require reserves to be in compliance with the SEC definitions and guidance and prepared in accordance with generally accepted petroleum engineering principles. The reserve estimates prepared by D&M are reviewed and approved by our management. The process performed by D&M to prepare reserve amounts includes the estimation of reserve quantities, future producing rates, future net revenue and the present value of such future net revenue, before income tax. In the conduct of their preparation of the reserve estimates, D&M did not independently verify the accuracy and completeness of information and data furnished by us with respect to ownership interests, oil production, well test data, historical costs of operation and development, product prices or any agreements relating to current and future operations of the properties and sales of production. However, if in the course of its work, something came to its attention which brought into question the validity or sufficiency of any such information or data, D&M did not rely on such information or data until they had satisfactorily resolved their questions relating thereto.

Technologies Used in Reserves Estimates

Proved reserves are those quantities of oil, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations. The term “reasonable certainty” implies a high degree of confidence that the quantities of oil and/or natural gas actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. To achieve reasonable certainty, our independent petroleum consultants employed technologies that have been demonstrated to yield results with consistency and repeatability. The technologies and economic data used in the estimation of our proved reserves include, but are not limited to, well logs, geologic maps, seismic data, well test data, production data, historical price and cost information and property ownership interests. The accuracy of the estimates of our reserves is a function of:

• the quality and quantity of available data and the engineering and geological interpretation of that data;

• estimates regarding the amount and timing of future operating costs, taxes, development costs and workovers, and our estimated participation in funding of future operating costs and capital expenditures, and ability to raise money to fund these costs, all of which may vary considerably from actual results;

• the accuracy of various mandated economic assumptions such as the future prices of oil and natural gas; and

• the judgment of the persons preparing the estimates.

Because these estimates depend on many assumptions, any or all of which may differ substantially from actual results, reserve estimates may be different from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

Qualifications of Reserves Preparers and Advisors

We obtain services of contracted reservoir engineers with extensive industry experience who meet the professional qualifications of reserves estimators and reserves auditors as defined by the “Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information,” approved by the Board of the Society of Petroleum Engineers in 2001 and revised in 2007.

The reserves estimates shown herein have been independently prepared by D&M, a leading international petroleum engineering consultancy. Within D&M the technical person primarily responsible for preparing the estimates set forth in the D&M reserves report incorporated herein is Lloyd W. Cade.  Mr. Cade has over 31 years of practical experience in petroleum engineering, with over 28 years in estimations and evaluation of reserves.  He is a Registered Professional Engineer in the State of Texas, License No. 74615.

We have on staff a Reservoir Engineering Advisor and Geological Advisor with extensive industry experience who meet the professional qualifications of reserves estimators and reserves auditors as defined by the “Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information,” approved by the Board of the Society of Petroleum Engineers in 2001 and revised in 2007.

Summary of Crude Oil Reserves

All of our rights to oil and gas reserves are located in Africa. Unaudited information regarding the estimated net quantities of all our proved reserves and the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows from the reserves is presented in the “Supplemental Data on Oil and Gas Exploration and Producing Activities (Unaudited)” within Part II, Item 8 of the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements of this report. The reserves estimates have been prepared by D&M and were estimated in accordance with guidelines established by the SEC and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Reserves estimates are inherently imprecise and estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, reserve estimates are expected to change as additional performance data becomes available.

Set forth below is a summary of our oil and gas net proved reserves as of December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

	As of December 31,
	2013		2012		2011
Proved developed Reserves		92		55		92
Proved undeveloped Reserves		2,389		3,043		2,571
Total proved reserves		2,481		3,098		2,663
Standardized measure of proved reserves (thousands)	$	22,689	$	65,712	$	61,687

Development of Proved Undeveloped Reserves

Under current development plans, all proved undeveloped reserves as of December 31, 2013, are expected to be developed within five years from the date of initial recognition of these reserves.

Oil and Gas Production, Prices and Production Costs — Significant Fields

The Oyo Field in Nigeria contains our entire total proved reserves as of December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Our share of average daily net production (excluding royalty) was 276 barrels per day in 2013, 401 barrels per day in 2012, and 923 barrels per day in 2011. The weighted average sales price was $107.85 per barrel in 2013, $112.60 per barrel in 2012, and $112.91 per barrel in 2011. Production cost per barrel was $(9.12) per barrel in 2013, $6.34 per barrel in 2012 and $8.61 per barrel in 2011.

Drilling Activity

In 2013, the company successfully drilled the Oyo-7 well and plans to complete the well and begin production in 2014. In 2012 and 2011 there were no new development or exploratory wells completed in the Company’s Nigeria interests in OML 120 and 121, including the Oyo Field.

Delivery Commitments

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had no delivery commitments.

8

Productive Wells

At December 31, 2013, the Company had rights to an interest in the Oyo Field, Offshore Nigeria. Currently there are two gross productive wells in Nigeria. The number of net productive wells (net economic interest) in Nigeria at a particular date under our Production Sharing Contract is affected by our percentage of Cost Oil and Profit Oil realized in each lifting. This percentage has varied significantly between 2013 and 2012. Therefore, a calculation of net productive wells interest for a particular year-end is not meaningful.

Acreage

Interests in developed and undeveloped acreage follow:

	December 31, 2013
	Developed Acres				Undeveloped Acres				Total Acres
	Gross		Net		Gross		Net		Gross		Net
Kenya						9,121,482		9,121,482		9,121,482		9,121,482
Gambia						658,822		658,822		658,822		658,822

Regulation

General

Our operations and our ability to finance and fund our growth strategy are affected by political developments and laws and regulations in the areas in which we operate. In particular, oil and natural gas production operations and economics are affected by:

● change in governments;

● civil unrest;

● price and currency controls;

● limitations on oil and natural gas production;

● tax, environmental, safety and other laws relating to the petroleum industry;

● changes in laws relating to the petroleum industry;

● changes in administrative regulations and the interpretation and application of such rules and regulations; and

● changes in contract interpretation and policies of contract adherence.

In any country in which we may do business, the oil and natural gas industry legislation and agency regulation are periodically changed, sometimes retroactively, for a variety of political, economic, environmental and other reasons. Numerous governmental departments and agencies issue rules and regulations binding on the oil and natural gas industry, some of which carry substantial penalties for the failure to comply. The regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry increases our cost of doing business and our potential for economic loss.

Competition

The Company competes with numerous large international oil companies and smaller oil companies that target opportunities in markets similar to the Company’s, including the natural gas and petroleum markets. Many of these companies have far greater economic, political and material resources at their disposal than the Company. The Company’s management team has prior experience in the fields of petroleum engineering, geology, field development and production, operations, international business development, finance and experience in management and executive positions with international energy companies. Nevertheless, the markets in which we operate and plan to operate are highly competitive and the Company may not be able to compete successfully against its current and future competitors. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors for risk factors associated with competition in the oil and gas industry.

Environmental and Government Regulation

Various federal, state, local and international laws and regulations relating to the discharge of materials into the environment, the disposal of oil and natural gas wastes, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment may affect our operations and costs. We are committed to the protection of the environment and believe we are in material compliance with the applicable laws and regulations. However, regulatory requirements may, and often do, change and become more stringent, and there can be no assurance that future regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we did not have any significant expenditures relating to environmental and government regulation.

Employees

At December 31, 2013, the Company had 23 full-time employees in the United States and 24 full-time employees in Africa.

During 2014, the Company expects to hire additional personnel in certain operational and other areas as required for its expansion efforts, and to maintain focus on its then-existing and new projects. The number and skill sets of individual employees will be primarily dependent on the relative rates of growth of the Company’s different projects, and the extent to which operations and development are executed internally or contracted to outside parties. In order for us to attract and retain qualified personnel, we will have to offer competitive salaries to future employees.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT RELEVANT TO FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this Form 10-K, including without limitation the statements under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-K.

In our capacity as Company management, we may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements with respect to our long-term objectives or expectations which may be included in our filings with the SEC, reports to stockholders and information provided on our web site.

The words or phrases “will likely,” “are expected to,” “is anticipated,” “is predicted,” “forecast,” “estimate,” “project,” “plans to continue,” “believes,” or similar expressions identify “forward-looking statements.” Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. We wish to caution you not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We are calling to your attention important factors that could affect our financial performance and could cause actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.

The following list of important factors may not be all-inclusive, and we specifically decline to undertake an obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statements that have been made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. Among the factors that could have an impact on our ability to achieve expected operating results and growth plan goals and/or affect the market price of our stock are:

● Limited operating history, operating revenue or earnings history.

● Ability to raise capital to fund our current and future operations.

● Ability to develop oil and gas reserves.

● Dependence on key personnel, technical services and contractor support.

● Fluctuation in quarterly operating results.

● Possible significant influence over corporate affairs by significant stockholders.

● Ability to enter into definitive agreements to formalize foreign energy ventures and secure necessary exploitation rights.

● Ability to successfully integrate and operate acquired or newly formed entities and multiple foreign energy ventures and subsidiaries.

● Competition from large petroleum companies and other energy interests.

● Changes in laws and regulations that affect our operations and the energy industry in general.

10

● Risks and uncertainties associated with exploration, development and production of oil and gas, and drilling and production risks.

● Expropriation and other risks associated with foreign operations.

● Risks associated with anticipated and ongoing third party pipeline construction and transportation of oil and gas.

● The lack of availability of oil and gas field goods and services.

● Environmental risks and changing economic conditions.

The Company’s operations and its securities are subject to a number of risks. The Company has described below all significant material risks that are known to the Company that could materially impact the Company’s financial results of operations or financial condition. If any of the following risks actually occur, the financial condition or operating results of the Company and the trading price or value of its securities could be materially adversely affected.

Risks Related to the Company’s Business

The Company’s limited operating history makes it difficult to predict future results and raises substantial doubt as to its ability to successfully develop profitable business operations.

The Company’s limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate its current business and prospects or to accurately predict its future revenue or results of operations, and raises substantial doubt as to its ability to successfully develop profitable business operations beyond the Oyo Field interest rights we acquired in April 2010 (the Oyo Contract Rights) and the Non-Oyo Contract Rights acquired in February 2011. We had no previous operating history in the Africa area prior to 2010. The Company’s revenue and income potential are unproven.

All of the value of our production and reserves is concentrated in a single block offshore Nigeria, and any production problems or reductions in reserve estimates related to this property would adversely impact our business.

All of the value of our production and reserves is concentrated in a single block offshore Nigeria OML 120. Any production problems or reduction in reserve estimates related to this property would adversely impact our business.

The Company may continue to incur losses for a significant period of time.

In addition to the Oyo Contract Rights we acquired from CEHL in May 2012 we signed four PSC’s in Kenya and two exploration licenses with The Gambia. As we are still in the early stages of exploration and have yet to drill on our Kenyan and Gambian blocks, we expect to continue to incur significant expenses relating to our identification of new ventures and investment costs relating to these ventures. Additionally, fixed commitments, including salaries and fees for employees and consultants, rent and other contractual commitments may be substantial and are likely to increase as additional ventures are entered into and personnel are retained. Energy ventures, such as oil well drilling projects, generally require a significant period of time before they produce resources and in turn generate profits. The Oyo and Non-Oyo Contract Rights may or may not result in net earnings in excess of our losses on other ventures under development or in the start-up phase. We may not achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis, or at all.

The Company’s ability to execute its business strategy and diversify risks by participating in multiple projects and joint ventures depends upon its ability to raise capital and the availability of suitable prospects, and any failure to raise needed capital and secure suitable projects would negatively affect the Company’s ability to operate and could result in the curtailment or cessation of the Company’s operations.

The Company’s business strategy includes spreading the risk of oil and natural gas exploration, development and drilling, and ownership of interests in oil and natural gas properties, by participating in multiple projects and joint ventures. If the Company is unable to secure sufficient attractive projects as a result of its inability to raise sufficient capital or otherwise, the average quality of the projects and joint venture opportunities may decline and the risk of the Company’s overall operations could increase.

Insufficient funds will prevent the Company from implementing its business plan and will require it to delay, scale back, or eliminate certain of its programs or to license to third parties rights to commercialize fields that it would otherwise seek to develop itself.

The loss of key employees could adversely affect the Company’s ability to operate.

The Company believes that its success depends on the continued service of its key employees, as well as the Company’s ability to hire additional key employees, as needed. Each of the Company’s key employees has the right to terminate his/her employment at any time without penalty under his/her employment agreement. The unexpected loss of the services of any of these key employees, or the Company’s failure to find suitable replacements within a reasonable period of time thereafter, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to execute its business plan and therefore, on its financial condition and results of operations.

11

Failure by the Company to generate sufficient cash flow from operations could eventually result in the cessation of the Company’s operations and require the Company to seek outside financing or discontinue operations.

The Company’s business activities require substantial capital from outside sources as well as from internally-generated sources. The Company’s ability to finance a portion of its working capital and capital expenditure requirements with cash flow from operations will be subject to a number of variables, such as:

● Level of production from existing wells;

● Prices of oil and natural gas;

● Success and timing of development of proved undeveloped reserves;

● Cost overruns;

● Remedial work to improve a well’s producing capability;

● Direct costs and general and administrative expenses of operations;

● Reserves, including a reserve for the estimated costs of eventually plugging and abandoning the wells;

● Indemnification obligations of the Company for losses or liabilities incurred in connection with the Company’s activities; and

● General economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond the Company’s control.

The Company might not generate or sustain cash flow at sufficient levels to finance its business activities. When and if the Company generates significant revenues, if such revenues were to decrease due to lower oil prices, decreased production or other factors, and if the Company were unable to obtain capital through reasonable financing arrangements, such as a credit line, or otherwise, its ability to execute its business plan would be limited and it could be required to discontinue operations.

The Company’s failure to capitalize on existing definitive production agreements and/or enter into additional agreements could result in an inability by the Company to generate sufficient revenues and continue operations.

The Company has active interests in definitive production contracts for the Oyo and Non-Oyo Contract Rights. The Company has entered into definitive exploration agreements with Kenya and The Gambia. The Company’s ability to consummate one or more additional ventures is subject to, among other things, (i) the amount of capital the Company raises in the future; (ii) the availability of land for exploration and development in the geographical regions in which the Company’s business is focused; (iii) the nature and number of competitive offers for the same projects on which the Company is bidding; and (iv) approval by government and industry officials. The Company may not be successful in executing definitive agreements in connection with any other ventures, or otherwise be able to secure any additional ventures it pursues in the future. Failure of the Company to capitalize on its existing contracts and/or to secure one or more additional business opportunities would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations, and could result in the cessation of the Company’s business operations.

Our estimated proved reserves are based on many assumptions that may turn out to be inaccurate. Any significant inaccuracies in these reserve estimates or underlying assumptions will materially affect the quantities and present value of our reserves. A significant percentage of our total estimated proved reserves at December 31, 2013 were proved undeveloped reserves which ultimately may be less than currently estimated.

The process of estimating oil and natural gas reserves is complex. It requires interpretations of available technical data and many assumptions, including assumptions relating to current and future economic conditions and commodity prices. Any significant inaccuracies in these interpretations or assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantities. In the case of production sharing contracts, the quantities allocable to a part-interest owner’s share are affected by the assumptions of that owner’s future participation in funding of operating and capital costs. Actual future production, prices, revenues, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves will vary from estimates. Any significant variance could materially affect the estimated quantities and present value of reserves disclosed. In addition, estimates of proved reserves reflect production history, results of exploration and development, prevailing prices and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Due to the limited production history of our undeveloped acreage, the estimates of future production associated with such properties may be subject to greater variance to actual production than would be the case with properties having a longer production history.

12

The Company’s oil and gas operations will involve many operating risks that can cause substantial losses.

The Company expects to produce, transport and market potentially toxic materials, and purchase, handle and dispose of other potentially toxic materials in the course of its business. The Company’s operations will produce byproducts, which may be considered pollutants. Any of these activities could result in liability, either as a result of an accidental, unlawful discharge or as a result of new findings on the effects of the Company’s operations on human health or the environment. Additionally, the Company’s oil and gas operations may also involve one or more of the following risks:

● Fires and explosions;

● Blow-outs and oil spills;

● Pipe or cement failures and casing collapses;

● Uncontrollable flows of oil, gas, formation water, or drilling fluids;

● Embedded oilfield drilling and services tools;

● Abnormally pressured formations;

● Natural disaster;

● Vandalism and terrorism; and

● Environmental hazards.

In the event that any of the foregoing events occur, the Company could incur substantial losses as a result of (i) injury or loss of life; (ii) severe damage or destruction of property, natural resources or equipment; (iii) pollution and other environmental damage; (iv) investigatory and clean-up responsibilities; (v) regulatory investigation and penalties; (vi) suspension of its operations; or (vii) repairs to resume operations. If the Company experiences any of these problems, its ability to conduct operations could be adversely affected. Additionally, offshore operations are subject to a variety of operating risks, such as capsizing, collisions and damage or loss from typhoons or other adverse weather conditions. These conditions can cause substantial damage to facilities and interrupt production.

The Company may not be able to manage our anticipated growth.

Subject to our receipt of additional capital, we plan to significantly expand operations to accommodate additional development projects and other opportunities. This expansion may strain our management, operations, systems and financial resources. We may need to hire additional personnel in certain operational and other areas during 2014 and future years.

The company will be dependent upon others for the storage and transportation of oil and gas, which could result in significant operational costs to the company and depletion of capital.

The company does not own storage or transportation facilities and, therefore, will depend upon third parties to store and transport all of its oil and gas resources when and if produced. The company will likely be subject to price changes and termination provisions in any contracts it may enter into with these third-party service providers. The company may not be able to identify such third-parties for any particular project. Even if such sources are initially identified, the company may not be able to identify alternative storage and transportation providers in the event of contract price increases or termination. In the event the company is unable to find acceptable third-party service providers, it would be required to contract for its own storage facilities and employees to transport the company’s resources. The company may not have sufficient capital available to assume these obligations, and its inability to do so could result in the cessation of its business.

An interruption in the supply of materials, resources and services, including storage and transportation of oil and gas, the Company plans to obtain from third party sources could limit the Company’s operations and cause unprofitability.

Once it has identified, financed, and acquired projects, the Company will need to obtain other materials, resources and services, including, but not limited to, specialized chemicals and specialty muds and drilling fluids, pipe, drill-string, geological and geophysical mapping and interruption services. There may be only a limited number of manufacturers and suppliers of these materials, resources and services. These manufacturers and suppliers may experience difficulty in supplying such materials, resources and services to the Company sufficient to meet its needs or may terminate or fail to renew contracts for supplying these materials, resources or services on terms the Company finds acceptable including, without limitation, acceptable pricing terms.

13

The Company does not presently carry liability insurance and business interruption insurance policies in Africa and will be at risk of incurring personal injury claims for its employees and subcontractors, and incurring business interruption loss due to theft, accidents or natural disasters.

The Company does not presently carry any policies of insurance in Africa to cover the risks discussed above. In the event that the Company were to incur substantial liabilities or business interruption losses with respect to one or more incidents, this could adversely affect its operations and it may not have the necessary capital to pay its portion of such costs and maintain business operations.

Our business partner, CEHL, is a related party, and our executive chairman and CEO is a principal owner and one of the directors of CEHL, which may result in real or perceived conflicts of interest.

Our majority shareholder, CEHL, is one of the entities constituting our business partner, CEHL. Dr. Kase Lawal, the Company’s Executive Chairman and member of the Board of Directors, and Chief Executive Officer, is a director of each of CEHL, CINL, and Allied, also entities constituting CEHL Group. Dr. Lawal also owns 27.7% of CAMAC International Limited, which indirectly owns 100% of CEHL. CINL and Allied are each wholly-owned subsidiaries of CEHL. As a result, Dr. Lawal may be deemed to have an indirect material interest in any transactions with CEHL including the agreements entered into with CEHL in April 2010, the OMLs 120 and 121 Transaction, the Promissory Note with Allied and the Transfer Agreement with Allied. These relationships may result in conflicts of interest. We may not be able to prove that these agreements are equivalent to arm’s length transactions. Should our transactions not provide the value equivalent of arm’s length transactions, our results of operations may suffer and we may be subject to costly shareholder litigation.

If we lose our status as an indigenous Nigerian oil and gas operator, we would no longer be eligible for preferential treatment in the acquisition of oil and gas assets and oil and gas licensing rounds in Nigeria.

The Company by virtue of our majority stockholder, CEHL, which has indigenous status in Nigeria, is eligible for preferential treatment under the Nigerian Content Development Act with respect to the acquisition of oil and gas assets and in oil and gas licensing rounds in Nigeria. If CEHL were to lose its status as an indigenous Nigerian oil and gas company due to its affiliation with our U.S. based company or otherwise, or if CEHL’s majority interest in us were to be diluted or reduced due to additional issuances of equity by the Company, CEHL sale or transfer of its interest in the Company or otherwise, we may lose our status as an indigenous Nigerian oil and gas operator. As a result, we would lose one of our key advantages in the Nigerian oil and gas market and our results of operations could materially suffer.

Applicable Nigerian income tax rates could adversely affect the value of the OMLs 120 and 121 asset, including the Oyo Field.

Income derived from the Oyo Contract Rights and the Non-Oyo Contract Rights, and CPL, as acquiring subsidiary in these transactions, are subject to the jurisdiction of the Nigerian taxing authorities.  The Nigerian government applies different petroleum profit tax rates upon income derived from Nigerian oil operations ranging from 50% to 85%, based on a number of factors.  The final determination of the tax liabilities with respect to the OMLs 120 and 121 involves the interpretation of local tax laws and related authorities. In addition, changes in the operating environment, including changes in tax law and currency/repatriation controls, could impact the determination of tax liabilities with respect to the OMLs 120 and 121 for a tax year.  While we believe the petroleum profit tax rate applicable to the OMLs 120 and 121 is 52%, the actual applicable rate could be higher, which could result in a material decrease in the profits allocable to the Company under the OMLs 120 and 121.

The passage into law of the Nigerian Petroleum Industry Bill could create additional fiscal and regulatory burdens on the parties to the OMLs 120 and 121, which could have a material adverse effect on the profitability of the production.

A Petroleum Industry Bill (“PIB”) is currently undergoing legislative process at the Nigerian National Assembly. To date, the PIB has failed to pass the Nigerian Senate.  The draft PIB seeks to introduce significant changes to legislation governing the oil and gas sector in Nigeria, including new fiscal regulatory and tax obligations and expanded fiscal and regulatory oversight that may impose additional operational and regulatory burdens on the Company and impact the economic benefits anticipated by the Company. Any such fiscal and regulatory changes could have a negative impact on the profits allocable to the Company under the OMLs 120 and 121.

OMLs 120 and 121 are subject to the instability of the Nigerian Government and instability in the country of Nigeria.

The government of Nigeria originally granted the rights to OMLs 120 and 121 to CEHL. The government and country of Nigeria have historically experienced instability, which is out of management’s control. The Company’s ability to exploit its interests in this area pursuant to the OMLs 120 and 121 may be adversely impacted by unanticipated governmental action. In addition, the financial viability of the OMLs 120 and 121 may also be negatively affected by changing economic, political and governmental conditions in Nigeria. Moreover, we operate in a sector of the economy that is likely to be adversely impacted by the effects of political instability, terrorist or other attacks, war or international hostilities.

14

OMLs 120 and 121 is located in an area where there are high security risks, which could result in harm to the Oyo Field operations and our interest in the Oyo Field and the remainder of OMLs 120 and 121.

The Oyo Field is located approximately 75 km (46 miles) off the Southern Nigerian coast in deep-water.  There are some risks inherent to oil production in Nigeria. Since December 2005, Nigeria has experienced increased pipeline vandalism, kidnappings and militant takeovers of oil facilities in the Niger Delta. The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) is the main group attacking oil infrastructure for political objectives, claiming to seek a redistribution of oil wealth and greater local control of the sector. Additionally, kidnappings of oil workers for ransom are common. Security concerns have led some oil services firms to pull out of the country and oil workers unions to threaten strikes over security issues. The instability in the Niger Delta has caused shut-in production and several companies to declare force majeure on oil shipments.

Despite undertaking various security measures and being situated 75 km (46 miles) offshore the Nigerian coast, the FPSO vessel  currently being used for storing petroleum production in the Oyo Field may become subject to terrorist acts and other acts of hostility like piracy. Such actions could adversely impact our overall business, financial condition and operations. Our facilities are subject to these substantial security risks and our financial condition and results of operations may materially suffer as a result.

Maritime disasters and other operational risks may adversely impact our reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

The operation of the FPSO vessel has an inherent risk of maritime disaster, environmental mishaps, cargo and property losses or damage and business interruptions caused by, among others:

● Mechanical failure and dry-dock repairs;

● Vessel off hire periods and labor strikes;

● Human error and adverse weather;

● Political action, civil conflict, terrorism and piracy in vessel’s home country;

● Political action, civil conflict, terrorism and piracy in vessel’s operation site; and

● Political action, civil conflict, terrorism and piracy to vessel’s supply lines.

Any of these circumstances could adversely affect the operation of the FPSO vessel, and result in loss of revenues or increased costs and adversely affect our profitability. Terrorist acts and regional hostilities around the world in recent years have led to increases in insurance premium rates and the implementation of special “war risk” premiums for certain areas.   Such increases in insurance rates may adversely affect our profitability with respect to the Oyo Field asset.

A substantial or extended decline in oil and natural gas prices may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The prices received for the Oyo Field production under the OMLs 120 and 121 will heavily influence our revenue, profitability, access to capital and future rate of growth. Oil is a commodity and, therefore, its price is subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand. Historically, the market for oil has been volatile. This market will likely continue to be volatile in the future. The prices received for production under the OMLs 120 and 121 and the levels of its production depend on numerous factors beyond the control of the Oyo field’s operator. These factors include the following:

● Changes in global supply and demand for oil;

● Organization of petroleum exporting countries’ actions;

● Price and quantity of imports of foreign oil;

● Political and economic conditions;

● Embargoes and adverse weather;

● Effects from the actions of other oil producing countries actions;

● Global oil exploration and productions levels;

● Global oil inventory levels;

● Price and availability of alternative fuels;

● Energy consumption technological advances;

● Domestic and foreign governmental regulations; and

● Proximity and capacity of transportation pipelines and facilities.

Lower oil prices may not only decrease our revenues on a per unit basis but also may reduce the amount of oil that the Company can produce economically with respect to the Oyo Field. A substantial or extended decline in oil prices may materially and adversely affect our future business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or ability to finance planned capital expenditures.

15

Risks Related to the Company’s Industry

The Company may not be successful in finding, acquiring, or developing sufficient petroleum reserves, and if it fails to do so, the Company will likely cease operations.

The Company will be operating primarily in the petroleum extractive business; therefore, if it is not successful in finding crude oil and natural gas sources with good prospects for future production, and exploiting such sources, its business will not be profitable and it may be forced to terminate its operations. Exploring and exploiting oil and gas or other sources of energy entails significant risks, which risks can only be partially mitigated by technology and experienced personnel. The Company or any ventures it acquires or participates in may not be successful in finding petroleum or other energy sources; or, if it is successful in doing so, the Company may not be successful in developing such resources and producing quantities that will be sufficient to permit the Company to conduct profitable operations. The Company’s future success will depend in large part on the success of its drilling programs and creating and maintaining an inventory of projects. Creating and maintaining an inventory of projects depends on many factors, including, among other things, obtaining rights to explore, develop and produce hydrocarbons in promising areas, drilling success, and ability to bring long lead-time, capital intensive projects to completion on budget and schedule, and efficient and profitable operation of mature properties. The Company’s inability to successfully identify and exploit crude oil and natural gas sources would have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations and would, in all likelihood, result in the cessation of its business operations.

In addition to the numerous operating risks described in more detail in this report, exploration and exploitation of energy sources involve the risk that no commercially productive oil or gas reservoirs will be discovered or, if discovered, that the cost or timing of drilling, completing and producing wells will not result in profitable operations. The Company’s drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or abandoned as a result of a variety of factors, including:

● Adverse weather conditions;

● Unexpected drilling conditions;

● Irregularities in formations;

● Pressure irregularities;

● Equipment failures or accidents;

● Inability to comply with governmental requirements;

● Shortages or delays in the availability of drillings rigs;

● Shortages or delays in the availability of delivery equipment; and

● Shortages or unavailability of qualified labor to complete the drilling programs according to the business plan schedule.

The energy market in which the Company operates is highly competitive and the Company may not be able to compete successfully against its current and future competitors, which could seriously harm the Company’s business.

Competition in the oil and gas industry is intense, particularly with respect to access to drilling rigs and other services, the acquisition of properties and the hiring and retention of technical personnel. The Company expects competition in the market to remain intense because of the increasing global demand for energy, and that competition will increase significantly as new companies enter the market and current competitors continue to seek new sources of energy and leverage existing sources. Many of the Company’s competitors, including large oil companies, have an established presence in the areas we do business and have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, development, extraction and other resources and greater name recognition than the Company does. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies, changes in regulations affecting the industry, newly discovered resources and exploration opportunities, as well as to large swings in oil and natural gas prices. In addition, increased competition could result in lower energy prices, and reduced margins and loss of market share, any of which could harm the Company’s business. Furthermore, increased competition may harm the Company’s ability to secure ventures on terms favorable to it and may lead to higher costs and reduced profitability, which may seriously harm its business.

16

The Company’s business depends on the level of activity in the oil and gas industry, which is significantly affected by volatile energy prices, which volatility could adversely affect its ability to operate profitably.

The Company’s business depends on the level of activity in the oil and gas exploration, development and production in markets worldwide. Oil and gas prices, market expectations of potential changes in these prices and a variety of political and economic and weather-related factors significantly affect this level of activity. Oil and gas prices are extremely volatile and are affected by numerous factors, including:

● Domestic and foreign supply of oil and natural gas;

● OPEC production levels;

● OPEC pricing levels;

● Price and availability of alternative fuels;

● Weather conditions;

● Level of consumer demand;

● Global economic conditions;

● Political conditions in oil and gas producing regions; and

● Shortages or unavailability of qualified labor to complete the drilling programs according to the business plan schedule.

If the Company does not hedge its exposure to reductions in oil and gas prices, it may be subject to the risk of significant reductions in prices; alternatively, use by the Company of oil and gas price hedging contracts could limit future revenues from price increases.

To date, the Company has not entered into any hedging transactions but may do so in the future.  In the event that the Company chooses not to hedge its exposure to reductions in oil and gas prices by purchasing futures and by using other hedging strategies, it could be subject to significant reduction in prices which could have a material negative impact on its profitability. Alternatively, the Company may elect to use hedging transactions with respect to a portion of its oil and gas production to achieve more predictable cash flow and to reduce its exposure to price fluctuations. The use of hedging transactions could limit future revenues from price increases and could also expose the Company to adverse changes in basis risk, the relationship between the price of the specific oil or gas being hedged and the price of the commodity underlying the futures contracts or other instruments used in the hedging transaction. Hedging transactions also involve the risk that the counterparty does not satisfy its obligations.

The Company may be required to take non-cash asset write-downs if oil and natural gas prices decline or if downward revisions in net proved reserves occur, which could have a negative impact on the Company’s earnings.

Under applicable accounting rules, the Company may be required to write down the carrying value of oil and natural gas properties if oil and natural gas prices decline or if there are substantial downward adjustments to its estimated proved reserves, increases in its estimates of development costs or deterioration in its exploration results. Accounting standards require the Company to review its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable over time. In such cases, if the asset’s estimated undiscounted future net cash flows are less than its carrying amount, impairment exists. Any impairment write-down, which would equal the excess of the carrying amount of the assets being written down over their estimated fair value, would have a negative impact on the Company’s earnings, which could be material.

Risks Related to International Operations

The Company’s international operations will subject it to certain risks inherent in conducting business operations in Nigeria and other foreign countries, including political instability and foreign government regulation, which could significantly impact the Company’s ability to operate in such countries and impact the Company’s results of operations.

The Company conducts substantially all of its business in Africa. The Company’s present and future international operations in foreign countries are, and will be, subject to risks generally associated with conducting businesses in foreign countries, such as: 

● Foreign laws and regulations that may be materially different from those of the United States;

● Changes in applicable laws and regulations;

● Challenges to, or failure of, title;

● Labor and political unrest;

● Foreign currency fluctuations;

● Changes in foreign economic and political conditions;

● Export and import restrictions;

● Tariffs, customs, duties and other trade barriers;

● Difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

● Longer time period and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable and enforcing agreements;

● Possible loss of properties due to nationalization or expropriation; and

● Limitations on repatriation of income or capital.

Specifically, foreign governments may enact and enforce laws and regulations requiring increased ownership by businesses and/or state agencies in energy producing businesses and the facilities used by these businesses, which could adversely affect the Company’s ownership interests in then existing ventures. The Company’s ownership structure may not be adequate to accomplish the Company’s business objectives in Nigeria or in any other foreign jurisdiction where the Company may operate. Foreign governments also may impose additional taxes and/or royalties on the Company’s business, which would adversely affect the Company’s profitability and value of our foreign assets, including the rights to interests in OMLs 120 and 121. In certain locations, governments have imposed restrictions, controls and taxes, and in others, political conditions have existed that may threaten the safety of employees and the Company’s continued presence in those countries. Internal unrest, acts of violence or strained relations between a foreign government and the Company or other governments may adversely affect its operations. These developments may, at times, significantly affect the Company’s results of operations, and must be carefully considered by its management when evaluating the level of current and future activity in such countries.

The future success of the Company’s operations may also be adversely affected by risks associated with international activities, including economic and labor conditions, political instability, risk of war, expropriation, repatriation, termination, renegotiation or modification of existing contracts, tax laws (including host-country import-export, excise and income taxes and United States taxes on foreign subsidiaries) and changes in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the local currencies in which future oil and gas producing activities may be denominated in certain cases. Changes in exchange rates may also adversely affect the Company’s future results of operations and financial condition. Realization of any of these factors could materially and adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Compliance and enforcement of environmental laws and regulations, including those related to climate change, may cause the Company to incur significant expenditures and require resources, which it may not have.

Extensive national, regional and local environmental laws and regulations in Africa are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s operations. These laws and regulations set various standards regulating certain aspects of health and environmental quality, which provide for user fees, penalties and other liabilities for the violation of these standards. As new environmental laws and regulations are enacted and existing laws are repealed, interpretation, application and enforcement of the laws may become inconsistent. Compliance with applicable local laws in the future could require significant expenditures, which may adversely affect the Company’s operations. The enactment of any such laws, rules or regulations in the future may have a negative impact on the Company’s projected growth, which could in turn decrease its projected revenues or increase its cost of doing business.

A foreign government could change its policies towards private enterprise or even nationalize or expropriate private enterprises, which could result in the total loss of the Company’s investment in that country.

The Company’s business is subject to significant political and economic uncertainties and may be adversely affected by political, economic and social developments in Africa or in any other foreign jurisdiction in which it operates.

Changes in policies, laws and regulations or in their interpretation or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, restrictions or prohibitions on dividend payments to stockholders, devaluations of currency or the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. Nationalization or expropriation could even result in the loss of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and in the total loss of your investment in the Company.

The continued existence of official corruption and bribery in Africa, and the inability or unwillingness of Nigerian authorities to combat such corruption, may negatively impact our ability to fairly and effectively compete in the Nigerian oil and gas market.

Official corruption and bribery remain a serious concern in Nigeria. The 2013 Transparency International report ranked Nigeria 144 out of 177 countries in terms of corruption perceptions. In an attempt to combat corruption in the oil and gas sector, the National Assembly passed the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative Act 2007. This action permitted Nigeria to become a candidate country under the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (“EITI”), the first step in bringing transparency to all material oil, gas and mining payments to the Government of Nigeria. In addition, Nigeria has amended its banking laws to permit the government to bring corrupt bank officials to justice. Several notable cases have been brought, but, to date, few significant cases have been successful and bank regulatory oversight remains a concern. Thus, increased diligence may be required in working with or through Nigerian banks or with Nigerian governmental authorities, and interactions with government officials may need to be monitored. To the extent that such efforts to increase transparency are unsuccessful, and any competitors utilize the existence of corruptive practices in order to secure an unfair advantage, our financial condition and results of operations may suffer.

18

If relations between the United States and Nigeria were to deteriorate, investors might be unwilling to hold or buy the Company’s stock and its stock price may decrease.

At various times during recent years, the United States has had significant disagreements over political, economic and security issues with Nigeria. Additional controversies may arise in the future between the United States and Nigeria. Any political or trade controversies between the United States and Nigeria, whether or not directly related to the Company’s business, could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s Common Stock.

The Company’s stockholders may not be able to enforce United States civil liabilities claims.

Many of the Company’s assets are, and are expected to continue to be, located outside the U.S. and held through one or more wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries incorporated under the laws of foreign jurisdictions. A substantial part of the Company’s operations are, and are expected to continue to be, conducted in Africa. In addition, some of the Company’s directors and officers, including directors and officers of its subsidiaries, may be residents of countries other than the U.S. All or a substantial portion of the assets of these persons may be located outside the U.S. As a result, it may be difficult for shareholders to effect service of process within the U.S. upon these persons. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the foreign courts would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against the Company or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the U.S. or any state thereof, or be competent to hear original actions brought in these countries against the Company or such persons predicated upon the securities laws of the U.S. or any state thereof.

Risks Related to the Company’s Stock

CAMAC Energy Holdings Limited is our majority stockholder, and it may take actions that conflict with the interests of the other stockholders.

Following our acquisition of the Oyo Contract Rights, CEHL beneficially owned approximately 62.74% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock and continues to own a majority interest at present.  CEHL controls the power to elect our directors, to appoint members of management and to approve all actions requiring the approval of the holders of our Common Stock, including adopting amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation and approving mergers, acquisitions or sales of all or substantially all of our assets, subject to certain restrictive covenants. The interests of CEHL as our controlling stockholder could conflict with your interests as a holder of Company Common Stock. For example, CEHL as our controlling stockholder may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings or other transactions that, in its judgment, could enhance its equity investment, even though such transactions might involve risks to you, as minority holders of the Company.

The market price of the Company’s stock may be adversely affected by a number of factors related to the Company’s performance, the performance of other energy-related companies and the stock market in general.

The market prices of securities of energy companies are extremely volatile and sometimes reach unsustainable levels that bear no relationship to the past or present operating performance of such companies.

Factors that may contribute to the volatility of the trading price of the Company’s Common Stock include, among others:

● Financial predictions and recommendations by stock analysts concerning energy companies and companies competing in the Company’s market in general, and concerning the Company in particular;

● Variance between the Company’s actual quarterly results of operations and predictions by stock analysts;

● Public announcements of regulatory changes or new ventures relating to the Company’s business, new products or services by the Company or its competitors, or acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic alliances by the Company or its competitors;

● Investor perception of the Company’s business prospects or the oil and gas industry in general;

● Public reports concerning the Company’s services or those of its competitors;

● The operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors or stock analysts may deem comparable to the Company;

● Large purchases or sales of the Company’s Common Stock;

● The Company’s quarterly results of operations; and

● General economic and financial conditions.

19

In addition to the foregoing factors, the trading prices for equity securities in the stock market in general, and of energy-related companies in particular, have been subject to wide fluctuations that may be unrelated to the operating performance of the particular company affected by such fluctuations. Consequently, broad market fluctuations may have an adverse effect on the trading price of the Common Stock, regardless of the Company’s results of operations.

The limited market for the Company’s Common Stock may adversely affect trading prices or the ability of a shareholder to sell the Company’s shares in the public market at or near ask prices or at all if a shareholder needs to liquidate its shares.

The market price for shares of the Company’s Common Stock has been, and is expected to continue to be, very volatile.  Numerous factors beyond the Company’s control may have a significant effect on the market price for shares of the Company’s Common Stock, including the fact that the Company is a small company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volumes.  Even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and may be reluctant to follow an unproven, early stage company such as the Company or purchase or recommend the purchase of its shares until such time as the Company becomes more seasoned and viable. There may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in the Company’s shares is minimal as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. Due to these conditions, investors may not be able to sell their shares at or near ask prices or at all if investors need money or otherwise desire to liquidate their shares.

In addition to the listing of our Common Stock on the NYSE MKT, we recently listed our Common Stock on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (“JSE”), but we cannot assure you that a trading market will successfully develop on the JSE.

We cannot assure you that an active trading market for our Common Stock will develop on the JSE. In addition, we cannot assure you what effect our listing on the JSE will have on our trading market on the NYSE MKT. In February 2014, we issued 188,442,211 shares of our Common Stock to the Public Investment Corporation (SOC) Limited (“PIC”) of South Africa in a private placement and expect to issue another 188,442,211 shares to PIC in the near future. If those shares become eligible to be sold on the JSE and PIC chooses to sell those shares on the JSE, sales of a large number of shares could have a negative effect on the market price of our shares on the JSE, which could have a negative effect on the market price of our shares on the NYSE MKT.

Substantial sales of the Company’s Common Stock could cause the Company’s stock price to fall.

The Company has entered into registration rights agreements with stockholders covering an estimated 1,044,380,323 shares of our Common Stock using a price of $0.70 per share, which was the closing price of our Common Stock on March 5, 2014. The possibility that substantial amounts of our Common Stock may be sold in the public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Common Stock and could impair the Company’s ability to raise capital through the sale of its equity securities. We may need to issue a greater number of shares of Common Stock other than the estimated 1,044,380,323 shares because we have received approval to list an indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock to meet our obligations to pay up to $50.0 million in oil and gas milestone payments under the Transfer Agreement. All of the shares payable as milestone payments would be eligible for registration under a registration rights agreement.

The Company’s issuance of Preferred Stock could adversely affect the value of the Company’s Common Stock.

The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 50 million shares of Preferred Stock, which shares constitute what is commonly referred to as “blank check” Preferred Stock. This Preferred Stock may be issued by the Board of Directors from time to time on any number of occasions, without stockholder approval, as one or more separate series of shares comprised of any number of the authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, designated by resolution of the Board of Directors, stating the name and number of shares of each series and setting forth separately for such series the relative rights, privileges and preferences thereof, including, if any, the: (i) rate of dividends payable thereon; (ii) price, terms and conditions of redemption; (iii) voluntary and involuntary liquidation preferences; (iv) provisions of a sinking fund for redemption or repurchase; (v) terms of conversion to Common Stock, including conversion price; and (vi) voting rights. The designation of such shares could be dilutive of the interest of the holders of our Common Stock. The ability to issue such Preferred Stock could also give the Company’s Board of Directors the ability to hinder or discourage any attempt to gain control of the Company by a merger, tender offer at a control premium price, proxy contest or otherwise.

20

The Company’s executive officers, directors and major stockholders, including CEHL and PIC, hold a controlling interest in the Company’s Common Stock and may be able to prevent other stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions.

The executive officers, directors and holders of 5% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, if they were to act together, would be able to control all matters requiring approval by stockholders, including the election of Directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control and may make some transactions more difficult or impossible to complete without the support of these stockholders.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company has four leased office facilities: Houston, Texas (the “Houston Facility”), Nairobi, Kenya (the “Kenya Facility”), Banjul, The Gambia (“Gambia Facility”) and Lagos, Nigeria (“Lagos Facility”).

The Houston Facility covers approximately 11,500 square feet of office space and is under a lease which commenced on October 1, 2013 and ends on October 31, 2019. Rental expense is approximately $39,000 per month plus an allocated share of operating expenses.

The Kenya Facility covers approximately 5,400 square feet of office space and is under lease which commenced on November 1, 2012 and ends November 30, 2017. Rental expense is approximately $6,000 per month plus service charges.

The Gambia Facility covers approximately 2,700 square feet of office space and is under lease which commenced on February 14, 2013 and ended February 13, 2014 and continues month to month thereafter. Rental expense is approximately $1,000 per month.

The Nigeria Facility covers approximately 5,900 square feet of office space and is under short-term arrangements with a related party. Rental expense is approximately $16,000 a month.

The Company does not foresee significant difficulty in renewing or replacing these leases under current market conditions, or in adding additional space when required.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time we may be involved in various legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of our business. As of December 31, 2013, and through the filing date of this report, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of such actions or potential actions of which we are currently aware will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or our results of operations.

Holders

As of March 5, 2013, there were 57 registered holders of record of our Common Stock, and there are an estimated 6,000 beneficial owners of our Common Stock, including shares held in street name.  

Dividend Policy

The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock as of December 31, 2013. Any future determination as to the payment of dividends on the Common Stock will depend upon the results of operations, capital requirements, the financial condition of the Company and other relevant factors.

Our Board of Directors has complete discretion on whether to pay dividends. Even if our Board of Directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

On January 24, 2014 the Company’s Board of Directors declared the Stock Dividend. Payment of the Stock Dividend was conditioned on (i) approval of the Company’s stockholders at the special meeting of stockholders to be held on February 13, 2014 of certain proposals related to the Allied Transaction, including a proposal to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and (ii) approval of the listing of the Company’s Common Stock on the JSE. On February 13, 2014, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders to consider and vote upon the proposals mentioned above and other related agenda items. All of the proposals presented at the meeting received the requisite stockholders approval and the approval of the JSE listing was successfully obtained. On February 21, 2014, the Company paid the Stock Dividend pursuant to which each share of Common Stock of record as of the close of the business on February 13, 2014, carried the right to receive 1.4348 shares of Common Stock for every one share of Common Stock held.

Per Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 505, Equity, the above Stock Dividend is to be accounted for as a Stock Split due to its large nature (exceeds 25% of the total shares outstanding prior to the distribution). The effect is a retroactive adjustment to the financial statements as if the dividend had occurred in the first period presented.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

Upon adoption of the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”) by the Board of Directors in June 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors resolved to (i) discontinue further grants and awards of equity securities under the 2007 Plan, except the issuance of Company stock upon exercise of issued and outstanding options issued pursuant to the 2007 Plan, and (ii) amend the 2007 Plan to reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the 2007 Plan to 2,628,000 from 4,000,000, and to further reduce the number of shares available for issuance thereunder by such number of shares that from time to time may be returned for issuance under the 2007 Plan upon expiration or termination of any option issued thereunder or repurchase of any restricted stock issued thereunder, and to return all such shares to the Company’s treasury.

Subject to stockholder approval and the completion of the Allied Transaction, the Private Placement and the Stock Dividend, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2009 Plan to increase the number of shares that may be granted during the life of the 2009 Plan from 12,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares. On February 13, 2014, the stockholders approved the amendment to the 2009 Plan at a special meeting of the stockholders. On February 18, 2014, the Company executed the amendment to the 2009 Plan thereby increasing the number of shares that may be granted thereunder to 100,000,000.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the equity compensation plans available to directors, officers, and employees of the Company at December 31, 2013:

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 OVERVIEW

The Company operates as an independent oil and gas exploration and production company focused on energy resources in Africa. 

The Company’s asset portfolio consists of eight licenses in three countries covering an area of approximately 41,000 square kilometers (approximately 10 million acres). The Company owns producing properties and conducts exploration activities as a non-operator in Nigeria, conducts explorations activities as an operator onshore and offshore Kenya, and conducts exploration activities as an operator in The Gambia.

In August 2012, the Company divested its wholly owned Hong Kong subsidiary Pacific Asia Petroleum Limited for net cash consideration of $2.4 million and 9.6 million fully paid ordinary shares, net of selling expenses, of Leyshon Resources Limited, a natural resources mining company based in Beijing, China. The Leyshon shares had a fair market value of $1.9 million, and have since been sold. As a result of the transaction, the Company is reporting its China operations, including other inactive operations not involved in this sale, for all presented periods in discontinued operations.

In September 2013, drilling operations commenced on the Oyo-7 well in OML 120. In October 2013, the preliminary results from the Oyo-7 well were announced. Based on logging while drilling (“LWD”) data, the well encountered gross oil pay of 133 feet (net oil pay of 115 feet) and gross gas pay of 103 feet (net gas pay of 93 feet) in the gas cap from the currently producing Pliocene reservoir, with excellent reservoir quality. The top of the reservoir was penetrated at 5,564 feet. Shortly after in November 2013, the Company announced that the Oyo-7 well had confirmed the presence of hydrocarbons in the deeper Miocene formation. This marked the first time a well had been successfully drilled into the Miocene formation of the Oyo Field. Hydrocarbons were encountered in three intervals totaling approximately 65 feet, as interpreted from the LWD data. Currently, the Oyo-7 well has been temporarily plugged and suspended but is expected to be re-entered and completed in the Pliocene reservoir as an oil producer mid-2014.

In November 2013, the Company entered into a Transfer Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire the Allied Assets from Allied in connection with the Allied Transaction. The Allied Transaction closed February 21, 2014. Please see Note 15 – Subsequent Events of the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Allied Transaction.

25

During 2013, the Company completed shooting airborne gravity and magnetic geophysical surveys on its Kenya onshore Lamu Basin blocks L1B and L16. The data acquisition covers essentially the entire 12,129 square kilometers in block L1B and the entire 3,613 square kilometers in block L16 and satisfies the gravity and magnetic survey requirements for each block under the relevant PSC. The Company is currently in negotiations with a leading geophysical services company to acquire a new 2-D seismic survey on both onshore blocks.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Oil Revenues

Revenue is recognized when a lifting (sale) occurs. Crude oil revenues for 2013 were $7.9 million, as compared to revenues of $16.6 million and $37.9 million for 2012 and 2011, respectively. In 2013, the Company sold approximately 73,000 net barrels of oil at an average price of $107.85/Bbl. In 2012, the Company sold approximately 148,000 net barrels of oil at an average price of $112.60/Bbl. In 2011, the Company sold approximately 337,000 net barrels of oil at an average price of $112.91/Bbl. The decrease in revenues year over year is primarily due to the natural decline in production, leading to lower sales volumes.

During 2013, 2012 and 2011, the average gross daily production from the Oyo Field was 2,233 BOPD, 2,759 BOPD and 3,714 BOPD, respectively. The average net daily production was 276 BOPD, 401 BOPD and 923 BOPD for the years 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

From the gross proceeds of each crude oil liftings, the Company’s net revenue entitlements are computed after a deduction of the Company’s share of royalty (Royalty Oil) and a provision for recovery of the Company’s share of prior operating and capital costs (Cost Oil), added to the Company’s share of Profit Oil.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Production costs were a negative $0.7 million for 2013, as compared to expenses of $0.3 million in 2012 and $30.9 million in 2011, respectively. In 2013, the Company spent $0.6 million in production related expenditures, partially offset by a cost reduction of $1.3 million recorded for billings to Allied under the Technical Services Agreement. In 2012, the Company spent $0.3 million in production related expenditures. In 2011, the Company spent $30.8 million for the Oyo 5 workover costs and $0.1 million in other production related expenditures.

In 2013, the Company incurred $5.5 million of exploration expenses, including $2.1 million spent at the corporate level for exploration activities, $2.5 million in Kenya, $0.6 million in Gambia, and $0.3 million in Nigeria. In 2012, the Company incurred $3.2 million of exploration expenses, including $1.5 million spent at the corporate level for exploration activities, $1.0 million in Kenya, $0.5 million in Gambia, and $0.3 million in Nigeria. In 2011, the Company incurred $0.9 million for exploration activities, including $0.7 million at the corporate level for exploration activities and $0.2 million in Nigeria.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) expenses for 2013 were $4.5 million, as compared to $10.8 million and $13.5 million for 2012 and 2011, respectively. The 2013 DD&A expenses decreased as compared to 2012 primarily due to both lower sales volumes and lower depletion rates. The 2012 DD&A expenses decreased as compared to 2011 primarily due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by increased depletion rates. The average depletion rates for 2013 were $58.23/Bbl, as compared to $71.72/Bbl and $38.60/Bbl for 2012 and 2011, respectively.

General and administrative expenses for 2013 were $14.5 million, as compared to $11.0 million and $13.3 million for 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses for 2013 as compared to 2012 was primarily due to higher consulting and legal costs associated with the Allied Transaction. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for 2012 as compared to 2011 was primarily due to lower administrative expenses associated with staffing reductions. The Company incurred non-cash based stock compensation expenses of $2.0 million, $0.7 million, and $2.5 million for the years 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income was $38.0 thousand in 2013, as compared to other expense of $0.6 million and $0.3 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively. In 2013, the Company recognized realized foreign currency gains of $0.3 million, partially offset by $0.2 million in interest expense and other taxes associated with the Promissory Note. In 2012, the Company recognized realized losses of $0.5 million on sale of securities and incurred $0.1 million in interest expenses associated with the Promissory Note. In 2011, the Company incurred $0.1 million in interest expense and $0.2 million in other adjustments. 

Income Taxes

Income taxes were nil for each of the years 2013, 2012, and 2011. The Company was exempt from petroleum profit taxes in the years 2013, 2012, and 2011 because it benefitted from a tax exemption in Nigeria.

26

Losses From Continuing Operations

Losses from continuing operations was $15.9 million in 2013, as compared to losses of $9.3 million and $21.0 million for 2012 and 2011, respectively. In 2013, losses from continuing operations increased by $6.6 million as compared to 2012 primarily as the result of lower sales volumes. In 2012, losses from continuing operations decreased by $11.7 million as compared to 2011 primarily as the result of both lower sales volumes and higher production expenses caused by the Oyo-5 well workover in 2011. 

Headline Earnings 

In February 2014, the Company’s Common Stock became listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (“JSE”).  The Company is required to publish all documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on the JSE.  The JSE requires that we calculate Headline Earnings Per Share (“HEPS”) which, per the SEC, is considered a non-GAAP measurement. 

As defined in the Circular 3/2009 of The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants, headline earnings is an additional earnings number that excludes separately identifiable remeasurements, net of related tax, and related non-controlling interest.

The number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted HEPS is the same as basic and diluted EPS. In the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, there were no seperate indentifable remeasurements based on the criteria outlined in circular 3/2009 and headline earnings was the same as net loss per share from continuing operations as disclosed on the audited consolidated statements of operations.  Therefore, HEPS for the years ended 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $(0.04), $(0.02) and $(0.06), respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS –DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Discontinued operations includes the results of operations of the Company’s China business, which was divested in 2012. In 2012, the Company recognized a gain of $4.2 million, net of selling expenses, associated with the sale. For details of the sale and results of operations, see Note 3 – Discontinued Operations within the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-K.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had a net working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) deficit of $18.0 million including cash and cash equivalents of $0.2 million.

	Years Ended December 31,
	2013			2012			2011
	(In thousands)
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(7,391	)	$	(5,897	)	$	(14,654	)
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities		(602	)		1,219			(6,860	)

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		-			(17	)		45
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents		(3,643	)		(9,820	)		(15,292	)

Net cash used in operating activities was $7.4 million, $5.9 million, and $14.7 million for the years 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Cash used in operating activities increased by $1.5 million in 2013 as compared to 2012 primarily due to both a $9.9 million increase in net loss and a $1.0 million decrease in non-cash adjustments to net income, partially offset by a $9.4 million positive variance in changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash used in operating activities decreased by $8.7 million in 2012 as compared to 2011 primarily due to both an $18.9 million decrease in net loss and a $0.6 million positive variance in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by a $10.8 million decrease in non-cash adjustments to net income.

Net cash used in investing activities for 2013 was $0.6 million, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $1.2 million in 2012 and net cash used in investing activities of $6.9 million in 2011. Net cash used in investing activities of $0.6 million in 2013 consisted primarily of office infrastructure expenditures. In 2012, net cash provided by investing activities consisted primarily of the $2.4 million net cash proceeds from the China divestiture and the $2.4 million proceeds from the sale of the long-term investments, partially offset by $3.6 million paid for capital expenditures. In 2011, net cash used in investing activities was primarily for $7.2 million capital expenditures, partially offset by $0.3 million sale of available for sale securities.

Net cash provided by financing activities for 2013 was $4.3 million as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $5.1 million in 2012 and net cash provided by financing activities of $6.2 million in 2011. The changes in net cash flows from financing activities for the years shown was primarily due to borrowings and repayments of the Promissory Note (as defined below). See below for details of the Promissory Note with Allied.

In June 2011, CPL, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, executed a promissory note in favor of Allied (the “Promissory Note”). Under the initial terms of the Promissory Note, Allied agreed to make loans to CPL from time to time for purposes of making payments relating to the workover of the Oyo well #5 in an aggregate sum of up to $25.0 million. Interest accrues on the outstanding principal under the Promissory Note at a rate of 30 day LIBOR plus 2% per annum. In September 2013, the Company and Allied amended the Promissory Note and the Guaranty to add the Company as a borrower, to allow for borrowings of up to $10.0 million for general corporate purposes and to pledge the stock of the subsidiary of CEI that holds the exploration licenses in The Gambia and Kenya as collateral pursuant to an equitable share mortgage arrangement. As of December 31, 2013, the book value of the exploration licenses in The Gambia and Kenya was $3.2 million. Pursuant to the initial terms of the Promissory Note, the outstanding principal amount of all loans was to mature on June 6, 2013. In August 2012, the Promissory Note was amended to extend the maturity date to October 15, 2013, and in March 2013 the Promissory Note was again amended to extend the maturity date to July 15, 2014.  In January 2014, Allied agreed to amend the Promissory Note and extend the maturity date to July 15, 2015 in the event the Company is not successful in obtaining external financing arrangements by June 30, 2014. The Company has guaranteed all of CPL’s obligations under the Promissory Note.   As of December 31, 2013, $6.5 million was outstanding under the Promissory Note.

27

On February 21, 2014, the Company completed the Allied Transaction and the First Closing of the Private Placement in accordance with the terms of the Transfer Agreement and the Share Purchase Agreement, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Transfer Agreement, the Company, as partial consideration for the Allied Assets, paid $85.0 million in cash to Allied, issued 497,454,857 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Allied and delivered the Convertible Subordinated Note to Allied under which $25.0 million was deemed to be advanced. Within two business days following the Second Closing of the Private Placement, the Company will be required to pay to Allied an additional $85.0 million in cash, as may be adjusted pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, and an additional $25.0 million will be deemed to be advanced to Allied under the Convertible Subordinated Note. The Second Closing of the Private Placement is expected to take place in mid 2014.

Although there are no assurances that the Company’s plans will be realized, based upon the above announcement and current cash flow projections, management believes that the Company will have sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow requirements for the next twelve months from the date of filing this report.

Capital Expenditures

In 2013, the Company invested $0.6 million in property and equipment additions primarily for office infrastructure support costs. In 2012, the company invested $3.6 million in property and equipment additions, primarily associated with leasehold acquisition costs of $2.0 and $1.2 million in Gambia and Kenya, respectively, and $0.4 million in office infrastructure support costs. In 2011, the Company invested $5.0 million in property and equipment additions primarily for acquisition of an economic interest in the Oil Mining Lease 121 offshore Nigeria.

Oil and Gas Exploration Costs

As described above, the Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas exploration and development costs. All expenditures related to exploration, with the exception of costs of drilling exploration wells, are charged as an expense when incurred. The costs of exploration wells are capitalized pending determination of whether commercially producible oil and gas reserves have been discovered. If the determination is made that a well did not encounter potentially economic oil and gas quantities, the well costs are charged as an expense. In 2013, the Company incurred $5.5 million of exploration expenses, including $2.1 million spent at the corporate level for exploration activities, $2.5 million in Kenya, $0.6 million in Gambia, and $0.3 million in Nigeria. In 2012, the Company incurred $3.2 million of exploration expenses, including $1.6 million spent at the corporate level for exploration activities, $1.0 million in Kenya, $0.5 million in Gambia, and $0.3 million in Nigeria. In 2011, the Company incurred $0.9 million for exploration activities, including $0.7 million at the corporate level for exploration activities and $0.2 million in Nigeria.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes the Company’s significant estimated future contractual obligations at December 31, 2013:

	Payments Due By Period
	Total		2014			2015-2016		2017-2018	Thereafter
	(In thousands)
Minimum obligations - Kenya	$	34,432	$	10,800	$	23,632	$	-	$	-
Minimum obligations - The Gambia		114,000		4,000		110,000		-		-
Operating lease obligations		2,149		360		750		784		255
Total	$	150,581	$	15,160	$	134,382	$	784	$	255

The minimum obligations for both Kenya and The Gambia require annual rental payments, training and community fees, all of which have been included in the above table.

28

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, other than normal operating leases and employee contracts, that have or are likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following describes the critical accounting policies used by the Company in its financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, accounting standards allow more than one alternative accounting method for reporting; such is the case with accounting for oil and gas activities described below. In those cases, the Company’s results of operations would be different should it implement an alternative accounting method.

Successful Efforts Method of Accounting for Oil and Gas Activities

The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting of its costs of acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties. Under this method, oil and gas lease acquisition costs and intangible drilling costs associated with exploration efforts that result in the discovery of proved reserves and costs associated with development drilling, whether or not successful, are capitalized when incurred. Drilling costs of exploratory wells are capitalized pending determination that proved reserves have been found. If the determination is dependent upon the results of planned additional wells and require additional capital expenditures to develop the reserves, the drilling costs will be capitalized as long as sufficient reserves have been found to justify completion of the exploratory well as a producing well, and additional wells are underway or firmly planned to complete the evaluation of the well. Exploratory wells not meeting the criteria for continued capitalization are expensed when such a determination is made. Other exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization for productive oil and gas properties are recorded on a unit-of-production basis. For other depreciable property, depreciation is recorded on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets which ranges between three to five years or the lease term. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets in property, plant and equipment for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, (Property, Plant and Equipment). Review for impairment of long-lived assets occurs whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be fully recoverable. Possible indicators of impairment include current period losses combined with a history of losses, significant downward oil and gas reserve revisions, or when changes in other circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for assets to be held and used when the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the asset, including ultimate disposition, are less than its carrying amount. In the case of oil and gas properties, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows of the affected properties to judge the recoverability of carrying amounts. Cash flows are determined on the basis of reasonable and documented assumptions that represent the best estimate of the future economic conditions during the remaining useful life of the asset. The Company’s cash flow projections into the future include assumptions on variables such as future sales, sales prices, operating costs, economic conditions, market competition, and inflation. Prices used to quantify the expected future cash flows are estimated based on forward prices prevailing in the marketplace and management’s long-term planning assumptions. Impairment is measured by the excess of carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. No impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011, respectively.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with ASC Topic 410 (Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations), which requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred. ASC 410 requires the Company to record a liability for the present value using a credit-adjusted risk free interest rate of the estimated site restoration costs with a corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related long-lived assets. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have the obligation to participate in any of the capital expenditures for OMLs 120 and 121, and therefore did not have any asset retirement obligations.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in ASU 2013-02 to Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, update, supersede and replace the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASUs 2011-05 and 2011-12. ASU 2013-02 requires either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. The new guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted the guidance required as of January 1, 2013. The required disclosures have been included in Note 5, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

29

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, Obligations Resulting From Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date. The amendments in ASU 2013-04 to Topic 405, Liabilities, provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of the update is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed with existing U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information about those obligations. The amendment is effective retrospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2013 the FASB issued ASU 2013-07, Liquidation Basis of Accounting. The amendments in ASU 2013-07 to Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting and provide principles for the recognition and measurement of associated assets and liabilities. In accordance with the amendments, the liquidation basis is used when liquidation is imminent. Liquidation is considered imminent when the likelihood is remote that the organization will return from liquidation and either: (a) a plan for liquidation is approved by the person or persons with the authority to make such a plan effective and the likelihood is remote that the execution of the plan will be blocked by other parties; or (b) a plan for liquidation is being imposed by other forces. The amendments in ASU 2013-07 are effective prospectively for entities that determine liquidation is imminent for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013 the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 to Topic 740, Income Taxes, clarify that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the possible impact of ASU 2013-11, but does not anticipate that it will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company may be exposed to certain market risks related to changes in foreign currency exchange, interest rates, and commodity prices.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

In addition to the U.S. dollar, the Company pays some of its Nigeria, The Gambia, and Kenya expenses in Naira, Dalasi, and Shillings respectively. Therefore we are subject to foreign currency exchange risk on non-U.S. dollar denominated transactions on cash flows.

To date the Company has not engaged in hedging activities to hedge our foreign currency exposure in Nigeria. In the future, the Company may enter into hedging instruments to manage its foreign currency exchange risk or continue to be subject to exchange rate risk.

Commodity Price Risk

As an independent oil producer, our revenue, other income and profitability, reserve values, access to capital and future rate of growth are substantially dependent upon the prevailing prices of crude oil. Prevailing prices for such commodities are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand and a variety of additional factors beyond our control. Historically, prices received for oil production have been volatile and unpredictable, and such volatility is expected to continue.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management of the Company, with the participation of its CEO and PFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K, the Company’s CEO and PFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were effective.

Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and is effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and includes those policies and procedures that:

• Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets,

• Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and

• Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, because of changes in conditions, effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting may vary over time. Our system contains self-monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on the criteria described in the 1992 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

Based on this assessment, management, including the Company’s CEO and PFO, concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the year ended December 31, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders

CAMAC Energy, Inc.

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of CAMAC Energy, Inc. (a Delaware Corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in the 1992 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in the 1992 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, and our report dated March 14, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

CAMAC Energy, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CAMAC Energy, Inc.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CAMAC Energy, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in the 1992 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 14, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

CAMAC’s related parties are CAMAC Energy Holdings Limited (“CEHL”), CAMAC International Nigeria Limited (“CINL”), CAMAC International Limited (“CIL”) and Allied Energy PLC (“Allied”).

Dr. Kase Lawal, the Company’s Executive Chairman and member of the Board of Directors, and Chief Executive Officer, is a director of each of the above listed related parties. Dr. Lawal also owns 27.7% of CIL, which indirectly owns 100% of CEHL. As a result, Dr. Lawal may be deemed to have an indirect material interest in transactions contemplated with any of the above companies and their affiliates named above as the Company’s related.

NOTE 2. --- BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company,” and “our Company” refer to CAMAC and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations for the indicated periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

In August 2012, the Company divested its wholly owned Hong Kong subsidiary Pacific Asia Petroleum Limited for cash and shares of stock. The Company has classified the current and historical results of its China operations, including other inactive operations not involved in this sale, as discontinued operations, net of tax, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3, Discontinued Operations, for more information regarding the sale.

As a result of the above transaction, the Company is reporting its China operations, including other inactive operations not involved in this sale, for all presented periods in discontinued operations.

On January 24, 2014 the Company’s Board of Directors declared the stock dividend on all shares of the Company's outstanding Common Stock entitling all stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 13, 2014, to recieve an additional 1.4348 shares of Common Stock for every share of Common Stock held (the "Stock Dividend"). Payment of the Stock Dividend was conditioned on (i) approval of the Company’s stockholders at the special meeting of stockholders to be held on February 13, 2014 of certain proposals related to the Allied Transaction, including a proposal to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and (ii) approval of the listing of the Company’s Common Stock on the JSE. On February 13, 2014, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders to consider and vote upon the proposals mentioned above and other related agenda items. All of the proposals presented at the meeting received the requisite shareholder approval and the approval of the JSE listing was successfully obtained. On February 21, 2014, the Company paid the Stock Dividend pursuant to which each share of stock of record as of the close of business on February 13, 2014, carried the right to receive 1.4348 shares of Common Stock for every one share of Common Stock held.

Per Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 505, Equity, the above Stock Dividend is to be accounted for as a Stock Split due to its large nature (exceeds 25% of the total shares outstanding prior to the distribution). The effect is a retroactive adjustment to the financial statements and associated footnotes as if the dividend had occurred in the first period presented.

Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and activities of the Company, subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, and entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates based on assumptions. Estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Accordingly, our accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in preparation of consolidated financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates that may have a significant effect include oil and natural gas reserve quantities, depletion and amortization relating to oil and natural gas properties, and income taxes. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained and our operating environment changes.

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Trade accounts receivable are accounted for at cost less allowance for doubtful accounts. We establish provisions for losses on accounts receivables if it is determined that collection of all or a part of an outstanding balance is not probable. Collectability is reviewed regularly and an allowance is established or adjusted, as necessary, using the specific identification method. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, no allowance for doubtful accounts wasnecessary.

Successful Efforts Method of Accounting for Oil and Gas Activities

The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting of its costs of acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties. Under this method, oil and gas lease acquisition costs and intangible drilling costs associated with exploration efforts that result in the discovery of proved reserves and costs associated with development drilling, whether or not successful, are capitalized when incurred. Drilling costs of exploratory wells are capitalized pending determination that proved reserves have been found. If the determination is dependent upon the results of planned additional wells and require additional capital expenditures to develop the reserves, the drilling costs will be capitalized as long as sufficient reserves have been found to justify completion of the exploratory well as a producing well, and additional wells are underway or firmly planned to complete the evaluation of the well. Exploratory wells not meeting the criteria for continued capitalization are expensed when such a determination is made. Other exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization for productive oil and gas properties are recorded on a unit-of-production basis. For other depreciable property, depreciation is recorded on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets which ranges between three to five years or the lease term. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets in property, plant and equipment for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, (Property, Plant and Equipment). Review for impairment of long-lived assets occurs whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be fully recoverable. Possible indicators of impairment include current period losses combined with a history of losses, significant downward oil and gas reserve revisions, or when changes in other circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for assets to be held and used when the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the asset including ultimate disposition are less than its carrying amount. In the case of oil and gas properties, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows of the affected properties to judge the recoverability of carrying amounts. Cash flows are determined on the basis of reasonable and documented assumptions that represent the best estimate of the future economic conditions during the remaining useful life of the asset. The Company’s cash flow projections into the future include assumptions on variables such as future sales, sales prices, operating costs, economic conditions, market competition and inflation. Prices used to quantify the expected future cash flows are estimated based on forward prices prevailing in the marketplace and management’s long-term planning assumptions. Impairment is measured by the excess of carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. No impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011, respectively.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with ASC Topic 410 (Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations), which requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred. ASC 410 requires the Company to record a liability for the present value using a credit-adjusted risk free interest rate of the estimated site restoration costs with a corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related long-lived assets. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have the obligation to participate in any of the capital expenditures for OMLs 120 and 121, and therefore did not have any asset retirement obligations.

Revenues

Revenues are recognized when a lifting (sale) occurs. The recognition criteria are satisfied when there exists a signed contract with defined pricing, delivery and acceptance (as defined in the contract) of the product or service have occurred, there is no significant uncertainty of collectability, and the amount is not subject to refund. Crude oil revenues are net of royalties.

Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740 (Income Taxes). Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be fully realized.

The Company routinely evaluates any tax deduction and tax refund positions in a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained. If that test is met, the second step is to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 8 – Income Taxes for further information.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes all stock-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, in the consolidated financial statements based on their grant-date fair values in accordance with ASC Topic 718-10 (Stock Compensation). The Company values its stock options awarded using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the restricted stock is valued at the grant date closing market price. Such costs are recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (which is usually the vesting period). Stock-based compensation paid to non-employees in vested stock is valued at the fair value at the applicable measurement date and charged to expense as services are rendered.

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

The Company computes earnings or loss per share under ASC Topic 260 (Earnings per Share). Net earnings or loss per common share is computed by dividing net earnings or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and applicable dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the year. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of the Company's stock options, unvested restricted stock, and warrants (calculated using the treasury stock method). Potential dilutive common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (e.g., those that increase earnings per share or decrease net loss per share) are excluded from diluted earnings (loss) per share.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in ASU 2013-02 to Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, update, supersede and replace the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASUs 2011-05 and 2011-12. ASU 2013-02 requires either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. The new guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted the guidance required as of January 1, 2013. The required disclosures have been included in Note 5, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, Obligations Resulting From Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date. The amendments in ASU 2013-04 to Topic 405, Liabilities, provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of the update is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed with existing U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information about those obligations. The amendment is effective retrospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2013 the FASB issued ASU 2013-07, Liquidation Basis of Accounting. The amendments in ASU 2013-07 to Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting and provide principles for the recognition and measurement of associated assets and liabilities. In accordance with the amendments, the liquidation basis is used when liquidation is imminent. Liquidation is considered imminent when the likelihood is remote that the organization will return from liquidation and either: (a) a plan for liquidation is approved by the person or persons with the authority to make such a plan effective and the likelihood is remote that the execution of the plan will be blocked by other parties; or (b) a plan for liquidation is being imposed by other forces. The amendments in ASU 2013-07 are effective prospectively for entities that determine liquidation is imminent for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013 the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 to Topic 740, Income Taxes, clarify that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the possible impact of ASU 2013-11, but does not anticipate that it will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In August 2012, the Company divested its wholly owned Hong Kong subsidiary Pacific Asia Petroleum Limited (“PAPL”) for net cash consideration of $2.4 million and 9.6 million fully paid ordinary shares, net of selling expenses, of Leyshon Resources Limited, a natural resources mining company based in Beijing, China. The Leyshon shares had a fair market value of $1.9 million, and have since been sold.

PAPL held the Company’s interest in the Zijinshan production sharing contract relating to the Zijinshan block in the Shanxi Province of China. Since 2008, the Company engaged in exploration activities on this block in search of coalbed methane and other gas. The Company made a strategic decision to monetize this asset and withdraw from activity in China in order to focus its efforts and capital resources on its core Africa activities.

The Company has reclassified all assets, liabilities and the results of operations for China to discontinued operations for all periods presented.

NOTE 7. --- NOTE PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY

In June 2011, CPL, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, executed a Promissory Note in favor of Allied. Under the initial terms of the Promissory Note, Allied agreed to make loans to CPL from time to time for purposes of making payments relating to the workover of the Oyo well #5 in an aggregate sum of up to $25.0 million. Interest accrues on the outstanding principal under the Promissory Note at a rate of 30 day LIBOR plus 2% per annum. In September 2013, the Company and Allied amended the Promissory Note and the Guaranty to add the Company as a borrower, to allow for borrowings of up to $10.0 million for general corporate purposes and to pledge the stock of the subsidiary of CEI that holds the exploration licenses in The Gambia and Kenya as collateral pursuant to an equitable share mortgage arrangement. As of December 31, 2013, the book value of the exploration licenses in The Gambia and Kenya was $3.2 million. Pursuant to the initial terms of the Promissory Note, the outstanding principal amount of all loans was to mature on June 6, 2013. In August 2012, the Promissory Note was amended to extend the maturity date to October 15, 2013, and in March 2013 the Promissory Note was again amended to extend the maturity date to July 15, 2014.  In January 2014, Allied agreed to amend the Promissory Note and extend the maturity date to July 15, 2015 in the event the Company is not successful in obtaining external financing arrangements by June 30, 2014. The Company has guaranteed all of CPL’s obligations under the Promissory Note.   As of December 31, 2013, $6.5 million was outstanding under the Promissory Note.

Dr. Kase Lawal, the Company’s Executive Chairman and member of the Board of Directors, and Chief Executive Officer, is a director of each of CEHL, CINL, and the Lender. Dr. Lawal also owns 27.7% of CIL, which indirectly owns 100% of CEHL, and CINL and the Lender are each wholly-owned subsidiaries of CEHL. As a result, Dr. Lawal is deemed to have an indirect material interest in the transaction contemplated by the Promissory Note. Dr. Lawal fully disclosed the material facts as to his relationship to the Lender prior to Board approval.

Following is a reconciliation of the expected statutory U.S. Federal income tax provision to the actual income tax expense for the respective periods:

Net deferred income tax assets	$	-		$	-

The Company’s foreign net operating losses in Nigeria are not subject to expiration, and can be carried forward indefinitely. The foreign operating losses in Gambia and Kenya are included in the respective subsidiaries cost oil accounts, which will be offset against future taxable revenues. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if existing deferred tax assets will be utilized. The Company does not expect to utilize the net operating losses in the short term, due to continued operating losses in its foreign subsidiaries. On the basis of this evaluation, valuation allowances of $26.7 million and $19.6 million were recorded as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

At December 31, 2013, the Company was subject to foreign and United States federal taxes only, with no allocations made to state and local taxes.

The following table summarizes the tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions:

United States:	2007	-	2013
Nigeria:	2010	-	2013
Kenya:	2012	-	2013
Gambia:	2012	-	2013

Restricted Stock Awards (“RSA”)

In addition to stock options, our 2009 Plan allows for the grant of restricted stock awards, or RSA. We determine the fair value of RSAs based on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. Compensation cost for RSAs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period and is net of forfeitures.

NOTE 10. --- EARNINGS OR LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings or loss per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for basic and diluted EPS for years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, were as follows:

NOTE 15. — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In November 2013, the Company entered into a Transfer Agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire from Allied Energy Plc (“Allied”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CEHL (the 57.2% majority stockholder of the Company), all remaining economic interests in the PSC and related assets, contracts and rights pertaining to OMLs 120 and 121 including the currently producing Oyo Field (the “Allied Assets”). In consideration for the Allied Assets, the Company agreed to issue 497,454,857 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, deliver to Allied a $50.0 million convertible subordinated promissory note (the “Convertible Subordinated Note”) and pay $170.0 million in cash (the “Allied Transaction”).

To fund the cash portion of the Allied Transaction and a portion of the anticipated capital expenditures for development of the Oyo Field, the Company also entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with the Public Investment Corporation (SOC) Limited, a state-owned company registered and duly incorporated in the Republic of South Africa ("PIC"), for an aggregate cash investment of $270.0 million through a private placement of 376,884,422 shares of Common Stock (the “Private Placement”), representing an approximate 30% ownership interest in the Company after completion of the transactions. The Share Purchase Agreement provides that the Private Placement will be completed in two installments. The first installment of $135.0 million (the “First Closing”) in exchange for 188,442,211 shares of the Company’s Common Stock was due at the closing of the Allied Transaction. The second installment (the “Second Closing”) of $135.0 million in exchange for 188,442,211 shares of the Company’s Common Stock is expected in mid 2014. In connection with the Private Placement, the Company agreed to list its Common Stock on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ("JSE") in addition to the Company’s listing on the NYSE MKT.

On February 13, 2014, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders to consider and vote upon the proposal to approve the Transfer Agreement as mentioned above and other related agenda items. Additionally, the Company had previously declared the Stock Dividend, which was subject to shareholder approval of the proposals presented at the above special meeting. All of the proposals presented at the meeting were approved by the requisite majority of the minority shareholders of the Company. The Stock Dividend was paid on February 21, 2014 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on February 13, 2014.

On February 21, 2014, the Company completed the Allied Transaction and the First Closing of the Private Placement in accordance with the terms of the Transfer Agreement and the Share Purchase Agreement, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Transfer Agreement, the Company, as partial consideration for the Allied Assets, paid $85.0 million in cash to Allied, issued 497,454,857 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Allied and delivered the Convertible Subordinated Note to Allied under which $25.0 million was deemed to be advanced. The Company’s Common Stock also began trading on the JSE on February 24, 2014. Within two business days following the Second Closing of the Private Placement, the Company will be required to pay to Allied an additional $85.0 million in cash, as may be adjusted pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, and an additional $25.0 million will be deemed to be advanced to Allied under the Convertible Subordinated Note. The Second Closing of the Private Placement is expected to take place in the second quarter of 2014.

SUPPLEMENTAL DATA ON OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AND PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED) 

The unaudited supplemental information on oil and gas exploration and production activities for 2013, 2012 and 2011 has been presented in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 932, Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas. Disclosures by geographic area include Africa and the United States.

Estimated Net Proved Crude Oil Reserves

The following estimates of the net proved crude oil reserves in Nigeria are based on evaluations prepared by third-party reservoir engineers. DeGolyer and MacNaughton (“D&M”) has prepared evaluations on 100 percent of our right to proved reserves and the estimates of proved crude oil reserves attributable to our net interests in oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2013. Reserve volumes and values were determined under the method prescribed by the SEC, which requires the application of the 12-month average price calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month prior period to the end of the reporting period and current costs held constant throughout the projected reserve life. Reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of producing properties. Accordingly, reserve estimates are expected to change as additional performance data becomes available.

Camac Energy Inc.

Houston, Texas 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to your request, we have conducted an independent evaluation to serve as a reserves audit of the extent and value of the proved crude oil reserves, as of December 31, 2013, of a 30-percent working interest which Camac Energy Inc. (Camac) has represented it owns in the Oyo field offshore Nigeria. This evaluation was completed on March 3, 2014. Camac has represented that this property accounts for 100 percent, on a net equivalent barrel basis, of Camac’s net proved reserves as of December 31, 2013. The net proved reserves estimates have been prepared in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 4–10(a) (1)–(32) of Regulation S–X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United States. This report was prepared in accordance with guidelines specified in Item 1202 (a)(8) of Regulation S-K and is to be used for inclusion in certain SEC filings by Camac.

Reserves included herein are expressed as net reserves. Gross reserves are defined as the total estimated petroleum to be produced from these properties after December 31, 2013. Net reserves are defined as that portion of the gross reserves attributable to the interests owned by Camac after deducting interests owned by others. The field evaluated herein is located in Oil Mining License (OML) 120 and is subject to a production sharing contract (PSC). The terms of this contract generally allow for working interest participants to be reimbursed operating expenses, capital costs, abandonment costs, and other costs from a percentage of gross annual revenue. The reimbursements and profit proceeds net to the interests evaluated herein, based on its working interest share, are converted to a volumetric equivalent by dividing by product prices to determine the net “entitlement quantities.” These quantities are equivalent, in principle, to net reserves. The ratio of the net quantities to gross quantities is termed “entitlement interest.”

Values shown herein are expressed in terms of future gross revenue, future net revenue, and present worth. Future gross revenue is that revenue which will accrue to the appraised interests from the production and sale of the estimated net reserves. Future net revenue is calculated by deducting estimated production taxes, ad valorem taxes, operating expenses, and capital costs from the future gross revenue. Operating expenses include field operating expenses, transportation expenses, compression charges, and an allocation of overhead that directly relates to production activities. Future income tax expenses were not taken into account in the preparation of these estimates. Present worth is defined as future net revenue discounted at a specified arbitrary discount rate compounded monthly over the expected period of realization.

Estimates of oil reserves and future net revenue should be regarded only as estimates that may change as further production history and additional information become available. Not only are such reserves and revenue estimates based on that information which is currently available, but such estimates are also subject to the uncertainties inherent in the application of judgmental factors in interpreting such information.

Data used in this evaluation were obtained from reviews with Camac personnel, Camac files, from records on file with the appropriate regulatory agencies, and from public sources. In the preparation of this report we have relied, without independent verification, upon such information furnished by Camac with respect to property interests, production from such properties, current costs of operation and development, current prices for production, agreements relating to current and future operations and sale of production, and various other information and data that were accepted as represented. A field examination of the properties was not considered necessary for the purposes of this report.

Methodology and Procedures

Estimates of reserves were prepared by the use of appropriate geologic, petroleum engineering, and evaluation principles and techniques that are in accordance with practices generally recognized by the petroleum industry as presented in the publication of the Society of Petroleum Engineers entitled “Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information (Revision as of February 19, 2007).” The method or combination of methods used in the analysis of each reservoir was tempered by experience with similar reservoirs, stage of development, quality and completeness of basic data, and production history.

When applicable, the volumetric method was used to estimate the original oil in place (OOIP). Structure and isopach maps were constructed to estimate reservoir volume. Electrical logs, radioactivity logs, core analyses, and other available data were used to prepare these maps as well as to estimate representative values for porosity and water saturation.

Estimates of ultimate recovery were obtained after applying recovery factors to OOIP. These recovery factors were based on consideration of the type of energy inherent in the reservoirs, analyses of the petroleum, the structural positions of the properties, and the production histories. When applicable, other engineering methods were used to estimate recovery factors. In such cases, an analysis of reservoir performance, including production rate, reservoir pressure, and gas-oil ratio behavior, was used in the estimation of reserves.

For depletion-type reservoirs or those whose performance disclosed a reliable decline in producing-rate trends or other diagnostic characteristics, reserves were estimated by the application of appropriate decline curves or other performance relationships. In the analyses of production-decline curves, reserves were estimated only to the limits of economic production or to the limit of the production licenses as appropriate.

In certain cases, elements of the reserves estimates incorporated information based on analogy with similar reservoirs where more complete data were available.

Definition of Reserves

Petroleum reserves included in this report are classified as proved. Only proved reserves have been evaluated for this report. Reserves classifications used in this report are in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 4–10(a) (1)–(32) of Regulation S–X of the SEC. Reserves are judged to be economically producible in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and assuming continuation of current regulatory practices using conventional production methods and equipment. In the analyses of production-decline curves, reserves were estimated only to the limit of economic rates of production under existing economic and operating conditions using prices and costs consistent with the effective date of this report, including consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements but not including escalations based upon future conditions. The petroleum reserves are classified as follows:

Proved oil and gas reserves – Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.

(i) The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes:

(A) The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and (B) Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.

(ii) In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons (LKH) as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty.

(iii) Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.

(iv) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when:

(A) Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and (B) The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.

(v) Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.

Developed oil and gas reserves – Developed oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be recovered:

(i) Through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and

(ii) Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.

Undeveloped oil and gas reserves – Undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.

(i) Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances.

(ii) Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances justify a longer time.

(iii) Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, as defined in [section 210.4–10 (a) Definitions], or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.

The extent to which probable and possible reserves ultimately may be recategorized as proved reserves is dependent upon future drilling, testing, and well performance. The degree of risk to be applied in evaluating probable and possible reserves is influenced by economic and technological factors as well as the time element. No probable or possible reserves have been evaluated for this report.

Primary Economic Assumptions

Oil Price

The price of oil used in this evaluation was based on a 12-month average Brent marker oil price of U.S.$108.63 per barrel, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements. The oil price for the Oyo field was U.S.$107.89 per barrel. The oil price was held constant for the remaining producing life of the field.

Operating Expenses and Capital Costs

Estimates of future operating expenses were based on current expenses. In certain cases, future expenses, either higher or lower than current expenses, may have been used because of anticipated changed operating conditions, but no general escalation that might result from inflation was applied. Future capital expenditures were estimated using current capital costs and were not escalated for inflation. Abandonment costs are included and have not been escalated for inflation.

Summary of Oil Reserves and Revenue

The estimates of the net proved reserves as of December 31, 2013, attributable to the interests owned by Camac in the Oyo Field, are summarized as follows, expressed in thousands of barrels (Mbbl): 

	Estimated by DeGolyer and MacNaughton Net Proved Reserves as of December 31, 2013 Oil (Mbbl)
Proved
Developed		92
Undeveloped		2,389
Total Proved		2,481

The estimated future revenue to be derived from the production and sale of the net proved reserves, as of December 31, 2013, of the properties appraised, expressed in thousands of dollars (M$), is summarized as follows:

	Proved
	Developed (M$)			Undeveloped (M$)		Total Proved (M$)
Future Net Revenue		(8,689	)		38,111		29,422
Present Worth at 10 Percent		(7,454	)		30,143		22,689

Notes:

1. Future income taxes have not been taken into account in the preparation of these estimates.

2. The future net revenue for proved developed reserves is negative due to abandonment costs.

While the oil and gas industry may be subject to regulatory changes from time to time that could affect an industry participant’s ability to recover its oil reserves, we are not aware of any such governmental actions which would restrict the recovery of the December 31, 2013, estimated proved oil reserves. The reserves estimated in this report can be produced under current regulatory guidelines.

In our opinion, the information relating to estimated proved reserves, estimated future net revenue from proved reserves, and present worth of estimated future net revenue from proved reserves of oil contained in this report has been prepared in accordance with Paragraphs 932-235-50-4, 932-235-50-6, 932-235-50-7, 932-235-50-9, 932-235-50-30, and 932-235-50-31(a), (b), and (e) of the Accounting Standards Update 932-235-50, Extractive Industries – Oil and Gas (Topic 932): Oil and Gas Reserve Estimation and Disclosures (January 2010) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and Rules 4–10(a) (1)–(32) of Regulation S–X and Rules 302(b), 1201, 1202(a) (1), (2), (3), (4), (8), and 1203(a) of Regulation S–K of the Securities and Exchange Commission; provided, however, that (i) future income tax expenses have not been taken into account in estimating the future net revenue and present worth values set forth herein and (ii) estimates of the proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves are not presented at the beginning of the year.

To the extent the above-enumerated rules, regulations, and statements require determinations of an accounting or legal nature, we, as engineers, are necessarily unable to express an opinion as to whether the above-described information is in accordance therewith or sufficient therefor.

DeGolyer and MacNaughton is an independent petroleum engineering consulting firm that has been providing petroleum consulting services throughout the world since 1936.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

NOTE 2. --- BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company,” and “our Company” refer to CAMAC and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations for the indicated periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

In August 2012, the Company divested its wholly owned Hong Kong subsidiary Pacific Asia Petroleum Limited for cash and shares of stock. The Company has classified the current and historical results of its China operations, including other inactive operations not involved in this sale, as discontinued operations, net of tax, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3, Discontinued Operations, for more information regarding the sale.

As a result of the above transaction, the Company is reporting its China operations, including other inactive operations not involved in this sale, for all presented periods in discontinued operations.

On January 24, 2014 the Company’s Board of Directors declared the stock dividend on all shares of the Company's outstanding Common Stock entitling all stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 13, 2014, to recieve an additional 1.4348 shares of Common Stock for every share of Common Stock held (the "Stock Dividend"). Payment of the Stock Dividend was conditioned on (i) approval of the Company’s stockholders at the special meeting of stockholders to be held on February 13, 2014 of certain proposals related to the Allied Transaction, including a proposal to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and (ii) approval of the listing of the Company’s Common Stock on the JSE. On February 13, 2014, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders to consider and vote upon the proposals mentioned above and other related agenda items. All of the proposals presented at the meeting received the requisite shareholder approval and the approval of the JSE listing was successfully obtained. On February 21, 2014, the Company paid the Stock Dividend pursuant to which each share of stock of record as of the close of business on February 13, 2014, carried the right to receive 1.4348 shares of Common Stock for every one share of Common Stock held.

Per Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 505, Equity, the above Stock Dividend is to be accounted for as a Stock Split due to its large nature (exceeds 25% of the total shares outstanding prior to the distribution). The effect is a retroactive adjustment to the financial statements and associated footnotes as if the dividend had occurred in the first period presented.

Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and activities of the Company, subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, and entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates based on assumptions. Estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Accordingly, our accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in preparation of consolidated financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates that may have a significant effect include oil and natural gas reserve quantities, depletion and amortization relating to oil and natural gas properties, and income taxes. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained and our operating environment changes.

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Trade accounts receivable are accounted for at cost less allowance for doubtful accounts. We establish provisions for losses on accounts receivables if it is determined that collection of all or a part of an outstanding balance is not probable. Collectability is reviewed regularly and an allowance is established or adjusted, as necessary, using the specific identification method. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary.

Successful Efforts Method of Accounting for Oil and Gas Activities

The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting of its costs of acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties. Under this method, oil and gas lease acquisition costs and intangible drilling costs associated with exploration efforts that result in the discovery of proved reserves and costs associated with development drilling, whether or not successful, are capitalized when incurred. Drilling costs of exploratory wells are capitalized pending determination that proved reserves have been found. If the determination is dependent upon the results of planned additional wells and require additional capital expenditures to develop the reserves, the drilling costs will be capitalized as long as sufficient reserves have been found to justify completion of the exploratory well as a producing well, and additional wells are underway or firmly planned to complete the evaluation of the well. Exploratory wells not meeting the criteria for continued capitalization are expensed when such a determination is made. Other exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization for productive oil and gas properties are recorded on a unit-of-production basis. For other depreciable property, depreciation is recorded on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets which ranges between three to five years or the lease term. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets in property, plant and equipment for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, (Property, Plant and Equipment). Review for impairment of long-lived assets occurs whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be fully recoverable. Possible indicators of impairment include current period losses combined with a history of losses, significant downward oil and gas reserve revisions, or when changes in other circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for assets to be held and used when the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the asset including ultimate disposition are less than its carrying amount. In the case of oil and gas properties, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows of the affected properties to judge the recoverability of carrying amounts. Cash flows are determined on the basis of reasonable and documented assumptions that represent the best estimate of the future economic conditions during the remaining useful life of the asset. The Company’s cash flow projections into the future include assumptions on variables such as future sales, sales prices, operating costs, economic conditions, market competition and inflation. Prices used to quantify the expected future cash flows are estimated based on forward prices prevailing in the marketplace and management’s long-term planning assumptions. Impairment is measured by the excess of carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. No impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011, respectively.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with ASC Topic 410 (Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations), which requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred. ASC 410 requires the Company to record a liability for the present value using a credit-adjusted risk free interest rate of the estimated site restoration costs with a corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related long-lived assets. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have the obligation to participate in any of the capital expenditures for OMLs 120 and 121, and therefore did not have any asset retirement obligations.

Revenues

Revenues are recognized when a lifting (sale) occurs. The recognition criteria are satisfied when there exists a signed contract with defined pricing, delivery and acceptance (as defined in the contract) of the product or service have occurred, there is no significant uncertainty of collectability, and the amount is not subject to refund. Crude oil revenues are net of royalties.

Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740 (Income Taxes). Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be fully realized.

The Company routinely evaluates any tax deduction and tax refund positions in a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained. If that test is met, the second step is to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 8 – Income Taxes for further information.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes all stock-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, in the consolidated financial statements based on their grant-date fair values in accordance with ASC Topic 718-10 (Stock Compensation). The Company values its stock options awarded using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the restricted stock is valued at the grant date closing market price. Such costs are recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (which is usually the vesting period). Stock-based compensation paid to non-employees in vested stock is valued at the fair value at the applicable measurement date and charged to expense as services are rendered.

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

The Company computes earnings or loss per share under ASC Topic 260 (Earnings per Share). Net earnings or loss per common share is computed by dividing net earnings or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and applicable dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the year. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of the Company's stock options, unvested restricted stock, and warrants (calculated using the treasury stock method). Potential dilutive common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (e.g., those that increase earnings per share or decrease net loss per share) are excluded from diluted earnings (loss) per share.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in ASU 2013-02 to Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, update, supersede and replace the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASUs 2011-05 and 2011-12. ASU 2013-02 requires either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. The new guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted the guidance required as of January 1, 2013. The required disclosures have been included in Note 5, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, Obligations Resulting From Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date. The amendments in ASU 2013-04 to Topic 405, Liabilities, provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of the update is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed with existing U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information about those obligations. The amendment is effective retrospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2013 the FASB issued ASU 2013-07, Liquidation Basis of Accounting. The amendments in ASU 2013-07 to Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting and provide principles for the recognition and measurement of associated assets and liabilities. In accordance with the amendments, the liquidation basis is used when liquidation is imminent. Liquidation is considered imminent when the likelihood is remote that the organization will return from liquidation and either: (a) a plan for liquidation is approved by the person or persons with the authority to make such a plan effective and the likelihood is remote that the execution of the plan will be blocked by other parties; or (b) a plan for liquidation is being imposed by other forces. The amendments in ASU 2013-07 are effective prospectively for entities that determine liquidation is imminent for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013 the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 to Topic 740, Income Taxes, clarify that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the possible impact of ASU 2013-11, but does not anticipate that it will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 15. — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In November 2013, the Company entered into a Transfer Agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire from Allied Energy Plc (“Allied”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CEHL (the 57.2% majority stockholder of the Company), all remaining economic interests in the PSC and related assets, contracts and rights pertaining to OMLs 120 and 121 including the currently producing Oyo Field (the “Allied Assets”). In consideration for the Allied Assets, the Company agreed to issue 497,454,857 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, deliver to Allied a $50.0 million convertible subordinated promissory note (the “Convertible Subordinated Note”) and pay $170.0 million in cash (the “Allied Transaction”).

To fund the cash portion of the Allied Transaction and a portion of the anticipated capital expenditures for development of the Oyo Field, the Company also entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with the Public Investment Corporation (SOC) Limited, a state-owned company registered and duly incorporated in the Republic of South Africa ("PIC"), for an aggregate cash investment of $270.0 million through a private placement of 376,884,422 shares of Common Stock (the “Private Placement”), representing an approximate 30% ownership interest in the Company after completion of the transactions. The Share Purchase Agreement provides that the Private Placement will be completed in two installments. The first installment of $135.0 million (the “First Closing”) in exchange for 188,442,211 shares of the Company’s Common Stock was due at the closing of the Allied Transaction. The second installment (the “Second Closing”) of $135.0 million in exchange for 188,442,211 shares of the Company’s Common Stock is expected in mid 2014. In connection with the Private Placement, the Company agreed to list its Common Stock on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ("JSE") in addition to the Company’s listing on the NYSE MKT.

On February 13, 2014, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders to consider and vote upon the proposal to approve the Transfer Agreement as mentioned above and other related agenda items. Additionally, the Company had previously declared the Stock Dividend, which was subject to shareholder approval of the proposals presented at the above special meeting. All of the proposals presented at the meeting were approved by the requisite majority of the minority shareholders of the Company. The Stock Dividend was paid on February 21, 2014 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on February 13, 2014.

On February 21, 2014, the Company completed the Allied Transaction and the First Closing of the Private Placement in accordance with the terms of the Transfer Agreement and the Share Purchase Agreement, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Transfer Agreement, the Company, as partial consideration for the Allied Assets, paid $85.0 million in cash to Allied, issued 497,454,857 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Allied and delivered the Convertible Subordinated Note to Allied under which $25.0 million was deemed to be advanced. The Company’s Common Stock also began trading on the JSE on February 24, 2014. Within two business days following the Second Closing of the Private Placement, the Company will be required to pay to Allied an additional $85.0 million in cash, as may be adjusted pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, and an additional $25.0 million will be deemed to be advanced to Allied under the Convertible Subordinated Note. The Second Closing of the Private Placement is expected to take place in the second quarter of 2014.

NOTE 4. -- ACQUISITIONS

Award of Kenya Exploration Blocks

In May 2012, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into four production sharing contracts with the Government of the Republic of Kenya, covering exploration blocks L1B and L16, and new offshore exploration blocks L27 and L28. For all blocks, the Company is the operator, with the Government having the right to participate up to 20%, either directly or through an appointee, in any area subsequent to declaration of a commercial discovery. The Company is responsible for all exploration expenditures.

The Kenya PSCs for blocks L1B and L16 each provide for an initial exploration period of two years with specified minimum work obligations during that period. Prior to the end of the initial exploration period, the Company will conduct for each block a gravity and magnetic survey and acquire, process and interpret 2D seismic data. The gravity and magnetic survey on blocks L1B and L16 was completed in April, 2013. The Company has the right to apply for up to two additional two-year exploration periods with specified additional minimum work obligations, including the acquisition of 3D seismic data and the drilling of one exploratory well on each block during each such additional period. In December 2013, the company initiated an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) study in blocks L1B and L16 in order to obtain the license to carry out a 2D seismic survey.

The Kenya PSCs for blocks L27 and L28 each provide for an initial exploration period of three years with specified minimum work obligations during that period. Prior to the end of the initial exploration period, the Company will conduct for each block a regional geological and geophysical study, acquire 2D seismic data and acquire, process and interpret 3D seismic data. The Company has the right to apply for up to two additional two-year exploration periods with specified additional minimum work obligations, including the drilling of one exploratory well on each block, during each such additional period. CAMAC is participating in a multi-client combined gravity / magnetic and 2D seismic survey which are currently underway in blocks L27 and L28.

In addition to the minimum work obligations, each of the Kenya PSCs requires annual surface rental payments, training fund payments and contributions to local community development projects.

Award of The Gambia Licenses

In May 2012, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, signed two Petroleum Exploration, Development & Production Licenses with The Republic of The Gambia, for exploration blocks A2 and A5. For both blocks, the Company is the operator, with the GNPC having the right to elect to participate up to a 15% interest, following approval of a development and production plan. The Company is responsible for all expenditures prior to such approval even if the GNPC elects to participate.

The Gambia Licenses for both blocks provide for an initial exploration period of four years with specified work obligations during that period. Prior to the end of the initial exploration period, the Company will conduct, for each block, a regional geological study, acquire, process and interpret 750 sq. km of 3D seismic data, drill one exploration well to the total depth of 5,000 meters below mean sea level and evaluate drilling results, with the first two work obligations (regional geological study and 3D seismic data acquisition and processing) due prior to the end of the second year. The Company has the right to apply for up to two additional two-year exploration periods with specified additional minimum work obligations, including the drilling of one exploration well during each additional period for each block.

In addition to the minimum work obligations, The Gambia Licenses require annual rental payments, training and community fees.

Accounting Policies, by Policy (Policies)

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and activities of the Company, subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, and entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates based on assumptions. Estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Accordingly, our accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in preparation of consolidated financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates that may have a significant effect include oil and natural gas reserve quantities, depletion and amortization relating to oil and natural gas properties, and income taxes. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained and our operating environment changes.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

Receivables, Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Trade accounts receivable are accounted for at cost less allowance for doubtful accounts. We establish provisions for losses on accounts receivables if it is determined that collection of all or a part of an outstanding balance is not probable. Collectability is reviewed regularly and an allowance is established or adjusted, as necessary, using the specific identification method. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Successful Efforts Method of Accounting for Oil and Gas Activities

The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting of its costs of acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties. Under this method, oil and gas lease acquisition costs and intangible drilling costs associated with exploration efforts that result in the discovery of proved reserves and costs associated with development drilling, whether or not successful, are capitalized when incurred. Drilling costs of exploratory wells are capitalized pending determination that proved reserves have been found. If the determination is dependent upon the results of planned additional wells and require additional capital expenditures to develop the reserves, the drilling costs will be capitalized as long as sufficient reserves have been found to justify completion of the exploratory well as a producing well, and additional wells are underway or firmly planned to complete the evaluation of the well. Exploratory wells not meeting the criteria for continued capitalization are expensed when such a determination is made. Other exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization for productive oil and gas properties are recorded on a unit-of-production basis. For other depreciable property, depreciation is recorded on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets which ranges between three to five years or the lease term. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets in property, plant and equipment for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, (Property, Plant and Equipment). Review for impairment of long-lived assets occurs whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be fully recoverable. Possible indicators of impairment include current period losses combined with a history of losses, significant downward oil and gas reserve revisions, or when changes in other circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for assets to be held and used when the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the asset including ultimate disposition are less than its carrying amount. In the case of oil and gas properties, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows of the affected properties to judge the recoverability of carrying amounts. Cash flows are determined on the basis of reasonable and documented assumptions that represent the best estimate of the future economic conditions during the remaining useful life of the asset. The Company’s cash flow projections into the future include assumptions on variables such as future sales, sales prices, operating costs, economic conditions, market competition and inflation. Prices used to quantify the expected future cash flows are estimated based on forward prices prevailing in the marketplace and management’s long-term planning assumptions. Impairment is measured by the excess of carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. No impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011, respectively.

Asset Retirement Obligations, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with ASC Topic 410 (Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations), which requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred. ASC 410 requires the Company to record a liability for the present value using a credit-adjusted risk free interest rate of the estimated site restoration costs with a corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related long-lived assets. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have the obligation to participate in any of the capital expenditures for OMLs 120 and 121, and therefore did not have any asset retirement obligations.

Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Revenues

Revenues are recognized when a lifting (sale) occurs. The recognition criteria are satisfied when there exists a signed contract with defined pricing, delivery and acceptance (as defined in the contract) of the product or service have occurred, there is no significant uncertainty of collectability, and the amount is not subject to refund. Crude oil revenues are net of royalties.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740 (Income Taxes). Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be fully realized.

The Company routinely evaluates any tax deduction and tax refund positions in a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained. If that test is met, the second step is to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 8 – Income Taxes for further information.

Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes all stock-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, in the consolidated financial statements based on their grant-date fair values in accordance with ASC Topic 718-10 (Stock Compensation). The Company values its stock options awarded using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the restricted stock is valued at the grant date closing market price. Such costs are recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (which is usually the vesting period). Stock-based compensation paid to non-employees in vested stock is valued at the fair value at the applicable measurement date and charged to expense as services are rendered.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

The Company computes earnings or loss per share under ASC Topic 260 (Earnings per Share). Net earnings or loss per common share is computed by dividing net earnings or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and applicable dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the year. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of the Company's stock options, unvested restricted stock, and warrants (calculated using the treasury stock method). Potential dilutive common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (e.g., those that increase earnings per share or decrease net loss per share) are excluded from diluted earnings (loss) per share.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in ASU 2013-02 to Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, update, supersede and replace the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASUs 2011-05 and 2011-12. ASU 2013-02 requires either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. The new guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted the guidance required as of January 1, 2013. The required disclosures have been included in Note 5, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, Obligations Resulting From Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date. The amendments in ASU 2013-04 to Topic 405, Liabilities, provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of the update is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed with existing U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information about those obligations. The amendment is effective retrospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2013 the FASB issued ASU 2013-07, Liquidation Basis of Accounting. The amendments in ASU 2013-07 to Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting and provide principles for the recognition and measurement of associated assets and liabilities. In accordance with the amendments, the liquidation basis is used when liquidation is imminent. Liquidation is considered imminent when the likelihood is remote that the organization will return from liquidation and either: (a) a plan for liquidation is approved by the person or persons with the authority to make such a plan effective and the likelihood is remote that the execution of the plan will be blocked by other parties; or (b) a plan for liquidation is being imposed by other forces. The amendments in ASU 2013-07 are effective prospectively for entities that determine liquidation is imminent for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013 the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 to Topic 740, Income Taxes, clarify that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the possible impact of ASU 2013-11, but does not anticipate that it will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s foreign net operating losses in Nigeria are not subject to expiration, and can be carried forward indefinitely. The foreign operating losses in Gambia and Kenya are included in the respective subsidiaries cost oil accounts, which will be offset against future taxable revenues. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if existing deferred tax assets will be utilized. The Company does not expect to utilize the net operating losses in the short term, due to continued operating losses in its foreign subsidiaries. On the basis of this evaluation, valuation allowances of $26.7 million and $19.6 million were recorded as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

At December 31, 2013, the Company was subject to foreign and United States federal taxes only, with no allocations made to state and local taxes.

NOTE 7. --- NOTE PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY

In June 2011, CPL, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, executed a Promissory Note in favor of Allied. Under the initial terms of the Promissory Note, Allied agreed to make loans to CPL from time to time for purposes of making payments relating to the workover of the Oyo well #5 in an aggregate sum of up to $25.0 million. Interest accrues on the outstanding principal under the Promissory Note at a rate of 30 day LIBOR plus 2% per annum. In September 2013, the Company and Allied amended the Promissory Note and the Guaranty to add the Company as a borrower, to allow for borrowings of up to $10.0 million for general corporate purposes and to pledge the stock of the subsidiary of CEI that holds the exploration licenses in The Gambia and Kenya as collateral pursuant to an equitable share mortgage arrangement. As of December 31, 2013, the book value of the exploration licenses in The Gambia and Kenya was $3.2 million. Pursuant to the initial terms of the Promissory Note, the outstanding principal amount of all loans was to mature on June 6, 2013. In August 2012, the Promissory Note was amended to extend the maturity date to October 15, 2013, and in March 2013 the Promissory Note was again amended to extend the maturity date to July 15, 2014.  In January 2014, Allied agreed to amend the Promissory Note and extend the maturity date to July 15, 2015 in the event the Company is not successful in obtaining external financing arrangements by June 30, 2014. The Company has guaranteed all of CPL’s obligations under the Promissory Note.   As of December 31, 2013, $6.5 million was outstanding under the Promissory Note.

Dr. Kase Lawal, the Company’s Executive Chairman and member of the Board of Directors, and Chief Executive Officer, is a director of each of CEHL, CINL, and the Lender. Dr. Lawal also owns 27.7% of CIL, which indirectly owns 100% of CEHL, and CINL and the Lender are each wholly-owned subsidiaries of CEHL. As a result, Dr. Lawal is deemed to have an indirect material interest in the transaction contemplated by the Promissory Note. Dr. Lawal fully disclosed the material facts as to his relationship to the Lender prior to Board approval.

NOTE 9. --- STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Under the Company’s amended 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”), the Company may issue restricted stock awards and stock options to result in issuance of a maximum aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Options awarded expire between five and 10 years from date of grant, or shorter term as fixed by the Board of Directors. On February 18, 2014, the Company executed the amendment to the 2009 Plan thereby increasing the number of shares that may be granted thereunder to 100,000,000.

In 2013, the Company granted a total of 8,003,874 stock options with vesting periods from three years to five years.

Stock Options

A summary of stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2013, is presented below.

	Shares Underlying Options			Weighted-Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)
Stock Options
Outstanding at January 1, 2013		6,124,703			$0.37		3.5

Exercisable at December 31, 2013		3,376,648			$0.37		2.7

The total intrinsic values of options outstanding and options exercisable were $0.9 million at December 31, 2013. The total intrinsic values realized by recipients on options exercised were $0 in 2013, $0 in 2012, and $0.2 million in 2011.

The Company recorded compensation expense relative to stock options in 2013, 2012 and 2011 of $1.1 million , $0.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

The fair values of stock options used in recording compensation expense are computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The table below shows the weighted-average amounts for the assumptions used in the model for options awarded in each year under equity incentive plans.

	2013			2012			2011
Expected price volatility		77.9	%		120.5	%		103.7	%
Risk free interest rate (U.S. treasury bonds)		0.5	%		0.5	%		0.8	%
Expected annual dividend yield		-			-			-
Expected option term (years)		3.5			3.5			3.1
Grant date fair value per share	$	0.23		$	0.26		$	0.34

Restricted Stock Awards (“RSA”)

In addition to stock options, our 2009 Plan allows for the grant of restricted stock awards, or RSA. We determine the fair value of RSAs based on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. Compensation cost for RSAs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period and is net of forfeitures.

A summary of restricted stock activity for the year ended December 31, 2013, is presented below.

	Shares			Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Restricted Stock
Nonvested at January 1, 2013		2,676,724			$0.32
Granted		4,163,374			$0.26
Vested		(2,301,312	)		$0.32
Forfeited		-
Nonvested as of December 31, 2013		4,538,786			$0.27

The Company recorded compensation expense relative to RSA’s in 2013, 2012 and 2011 of $0.9 million, $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

The total grant date fair value of RSA shares that vested during 2013 was approximately $0.5 million. As of December 31, 2013, there was approximately $1.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RSAs, with $0.9 million, and $0.3 million to be recognized during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In August 2012, the Company divested its wholly owned Hong Kong subsidiary Pacific Asia Petroleum Limited (“PAPL”) for net cash consideration of $2.4 million and 9.6 million fully paid ordinary shares, net of selling expenses, of Leyshon Resources Limited, a natural resources mining company based in Beijing, China. The Leyshon shares had a fair market value of $1.9 million, and have since been sold.

PAPL held the Company’s interest in the Zijinshan production sharing contract relating to the Zijinshan block in the Shanxi Province of China. Since 2008, the Company engaged in exploration activities on this block in search of coalbed methane and other gas. The Company made a strategic decision to monetize this asset and withdraw from activity in China in order to focus its efforts and capital resources on its core Africa activities.

The Company has reclassified all assets, liabilities and the results of operations for China to discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Results of operations from discontinued operations are as follows:
