On June 18, 2015, Yuma Energy, Inc. (the “Registrant”) posted to its website a slideshow presentation, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The Registrant has determined that from time to time it may make presentations to investors and others in the investment banking community utilizing this slideshow, with immaterial modifications. Furthermore, the Registrant may make these presentations to other parties in the normal course of business which may include commercial banks, potential institutional investment partners, acquisition candidates, asset sellers and vendors. The information contained in the presentation materials is summary information that is intended to be considered in the context of the Registrant’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other public announcements that it may make, by press release or otherwise, from time to time.

Some of the matters discussed in the presentation materials contain forward-looking statements that involve uncertainties and risks related to: volatile oil and natural gas prices; operational risks in exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas; uncertainties involving geology of oil and natural gas deposits; uncertainties associated with oil and natural gas reserve estimates; uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to future production, costs and expenses; potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; and the Registrant’s need to replace production and acquire or develop additional oil and natural gas reserves, among other matters. Actual results could differ materially from those projected and the Registrant cautions readers not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in, or made in connection with, the presentation materials.
