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 value of our oil and gas properties, proved reserves and 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, including participation in the Oyo Field development, on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company.

 

   

Ability to develop oil and gas reserves.

CAMAC Energy Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. COMPANY DESCRIPTION, SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Company Description

CAMAC Energy Inc. (the “Company” or “CAMAC”) is a publicly traded Company which engages in the exploration, development, and production of oil and gas outside the U.S., directly and through joint ventures and other ventures in which it may participate. The Company’s name was changed from Pacific Asia Petroleum, Inc. (“PAP”) to CAMAC Energy Inc. upon the change in control resulting from the acquisition of oil and gas properties located in offshore Nigeria on April 7, 2010.

The Company operates in the upstream segment of the oil and gas industry in exploration and producing activities. The Company’s corporate headquarters is located in Houston, Texas and currently the Company has interests in OML 120/121 oil and gas leases in deepwater offshore Nigeria along with the rights to significant gas acreage under contract in China.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CAMAC and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements for the previous periods include certain reclassifications that were made to conform to current period’s presentation. Such reclassifications have no impact on previously reported net loss, equity or cash flows.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe that the presentations and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Reports on Forms10-K and 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2010. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the year ending December 31, 2011.

The preparation of 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 unaudited 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, depreciation, depletion and amortization relating to oil and natural gas properties, and income taxes. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained and our operating environment changes.

For the period from inception of the Company through March 31, 2010, the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared as a development stage company. In the three months ended June 30, 2010 the Company commenced the recognition of significant revenues from operating assets located in Nigeria and at that time ceased reporting as a development stage company.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2011-05 amending Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 220 related to comprehensive income. The amendment to ASC 220 requires companies to present items of net income, items of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and total comprehensive income in one continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. Companies will no longer be allowed to present OCI in the statement of stockholders equity. The reclassification adjustments between OCI and net income will be presented separately on the face of the financial statements. This ASU is effective in interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is presently evaluating the impact, if any, of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-04, which generally aligns the principles for fair value measurements (“ASC 820”) and the related disclosures under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments to ASC 820 generally relate to changes to a principle or requirement for measuring fair value, clarifications of the FASB’s intent regarding the application of existing requirements and additional disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective in interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is presently evaluating the impact, if any of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. ASSET ACQUISITIONS

The Company has acquired the following economic interests in oil and gas assets located in offshore Nigeria:

Acquisition of Oyo Field Production Sharing Contract Interest

On April 7, 2010, the Company consummated the acquisition of all economic interests held by CAMAC Energy Holdings Limited (“CEHL”) and two of its affiliates, Allied Energy Plc. (“Allied”) and CAMAC International (Nigeria) Limited (“CINL”) (collectively “CEHL Group”) in a Production Sharing Contract (the “OML 120/121 PSC”) with respect to an oilfield asset known as the Oyo Field located offshore Nigeria (the “Oyo Contract Rights”). The Oyo Field was under development through 2009, and oil production commenced in December 2009. As consideration for the Oyo Contract Rights, the Company paid CEHL Group $32 million in cash consideration (the “Cash Consideration”) and issued to CEHL Group 89,467,120 shares of Company Common Stock, par value $0.001, representing approximately 62.74% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock at closing (the “Consideration Shares”). In addition, if certain issued and outstanding warrants and options exercisable for an aggregate of 7,991,948 shares of Company Common Stock were exercised following the closing, then the Company was obligated to issue up to an additional 13,457,188 Consideration Shares to CEHL Group to maintain CEHL Group’s approximately 62.74% interest in the Company. At June 30, 2011, due to warrant expirations, the maximum additional Consideration Shares obligations on the warrants and options had been reduced to 7,484,983 shares of which 188,591 related to exercised warrants. As additional Cash Consideration, the Company agreed to pay CEHL Group $6.84 million on the earlier of sufficient receipt of oil proceeds from the Oyo Field or six months from the closing date. This amount was paid in July 2010. In connection with the closing on April 7, 2010, the Company and CEHL Group entered into a number of ancillary documents to consummate the transaction.

On April 7, 2010, the Company and CEHL Group entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Company was required to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of the Consideration Shares, in addition to providing unlimited “piggyback” registration rights to CEHL Group with respect to the Consideration Shares, in each case, subject to certain limitations and conditions. If any Consideration Shares were not covered by a registration statement within 18 months following the closing date, the Company would be required to pay liquidated damages to CEHL Group. As required, the Company filed a related Form S-3 with the SEC on May 21, 2010, which became effective on June 4, 2010.

Table of Contents

The original purchase cost for the acquisition of CEHL Group’s interests in the PSC with respect to the Oyo Field was allocated as indicated in the table below. The measurement date was the closing date, April 7, 2010. The fair value of the consideration paid was determined at closing. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, and does not represent the acquisition of a business, as follows (in thousands):

 

     As of April 7, 2010  

Accounts receivable

   $ 13,880

As disclosed above, one of the assets acquired as part of the Oyo Field interest was crude oil inventory which had been produced but not yet sold as of the acquisition date. As disclosed in the table below (in thousands), virtually all of the crude oil revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2010 arose from the sale of this acquired inventory. At the date of acquisition this inventory had been recorded at fair value. Accordingly, the related portion of cost of sales for six months 2010 reflects the liquidation of this inventory. For the remainder of crude oil sold in the period (and for post acquisition production periods), cost is the basis for lease operating expenses.

OML 120/121 Transaction

On December 10, 2010, the Company entered into a Purchase and Continuation Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the CEHL Group, superseding all earlier related agreements. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire CEHL Group’s full remaining economic interest (the “OML 120/121 Transaction”) in the OML 120/121 PSC (the “Non-Oyo Contract Rights”). In April 2010 the Company had acquired from CEHL Group the Oyo Contract Rights in the OML 120/121 PSC. The OML 120/121 Transaction closed on February 15, 2011. The $5 million paid for acquiring the Non-Oyo Contract Rights is recorded as unproved oil and gas properties in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. Upon consummation of the acquisition of the Non-Oyo Contract Rights under the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired CEHL Group’s full economic interest in the OML 120/121 PSC.

In exchange for the Non-Oyo Contract Rights, the Company agreed to an option-based consideration structure and paid $5.0 million in cash to CEHL Group upon the closing of the OML 120/121 Transaction on February 15, 2011. The Company has the option to elect to retain the Non-Oyo Contract Rights upon payment of additional consideration to CEHL Group as follows:

 

  a. First Milestone: Upon commencement of drilling of the first well outside of the Oyo Field under the OML 120/121 PSC, the Company may elect to retain the Non-Oyo Contract Rights upon payment to CEHL Group of $5 million (either in cash, or at CEHL Group’s option, in shares);

 

  b. Second Milestone: Upon discovery of hydrocarbons outside of the Oyo Field under the OML 120/121 PSC in sufficient quantities to warrant the commercial development thereof, the Company may elect to retain the Non-Oyo Contract Rights upon payment to CEHL Group of $5 million (either in cash, or at CEHL Group’s option, in shares);

Table of Contents
  c. Third Milestone: Upon the approval by the Management Committee (as defined in the OML 120/121 PSC) of a Field Development Plan with respect to the development of non-Oyo Field areas under the OML 120/121, as approved by the Company, the Company may elect to retain the Non-Oyo Contract Rights upon payment to CEHL Group of $20 million (either in cash, or at CEHL Group’s option, in shares); and

 

  d. Fourth Milestone: Upon commencement of commercial hydrocarbon production outside of the Oyo Field under the OML 120/121, the Company may elect to retain the Non-Oyo Contract Rights (with no additional milestones or consideration required thereafter following payment in full of the following consideration) upon payment to CEHL Group, at CEHL Group’s option of (i) $25 million in shares, or (ii) $25 million in cash through payment of up to 50% of the Company’s net cash flows received from non-Oyo Field production under the PSC.

If any of the above milestones are reached and the Company elects not to retain the Non-Oyo Contract Rights at that time, then all the Non-Oyo Contract Rights will automatically revert back to CEHL Group without any compensation due to the Company and with CEHL Group retaining all consideration paid by the Company to date.

The Purchase Agreement contained the following conditions to the closing of the Transaction: (i) CAMAC Petroleum Limited, a subsidiary of the Company (“ CPL”), CINL, Allied, and Nigerian Agip Exploration Limited (“NAE”) must enter into a Novation Agreement in a form satisfactory to the Company and CEHL Group and that contains a waiver by NAE of the enforcement of Section 8.1(e) of the OML 120/121 PSC (providing for the continued waiver by NAE of its entitlement to “profit oil” in favor of CEHL Group), and that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the OML 120/121 PSC, the profit sharing allocation set forth in the OML 120/121 PSC shall be maintained after the consummation of the OML 120/121 Transaction; (ii) the Company, and CEHL Group must enter into a registration rights agreement with respect to any shares issued by the Company to CEHL Group at its election as consideration upon the occurrence of any of the above-described milestone events, in a form satisfactory to the Company and CEHL Group; and (iii) the Oyo Field Agreement, dated April 7, 2010, by and among the Company and CEHL Group, must be amended in order to remove certain indemnities with respect to Non-Oyo Operating Costs (as defined therein). The Company agreed to limited waivers of certain of these closing conditions under the Limited Waiver Agreement.

Dr. Kase Lawal, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and member of the Board of Directors, is a director of each of CEHL, CINL, and Allied. Dr. Lawal also owns 27.7% of CAMAC International Limited, which indirectly owns 100% of CEHL. As a result, Dr. Lawal may be deemed to have an indirect material interest in the transaction contemplated by the OML 120/121 Agreement. Chairman Lawal recused himself from participating in the consideration and approval by the Company’s Board of Directors of the OML 120/121 Transaction.

Relationships with Li Xiang Dong

During the third quarter of 2009, the Company conducted its enhanced oil recovery and production (“EORP”) business prior to incorporation of its Chinese joint venture company, Beijing Dong Fang Ya Zhou Petroleum Technology Service Company Limited (Dong Fang), through an arrangement with Tongsheng, a subsidiary of the family owned business of Mr. Li Xiang Dong (LXD). Upon the incorporation of Dong Fang in China on September 24, 2009, LXD became a 24.5% interest owner in Dong Fang. The patent application rights and related technology for the specialty chemicals and processes in this business have been contributed to Dong Fang by LXD. The original arrangement with Tongsheng was necessary because, pending the incorporation of Dong Fang, the Company was not licensed in China to purchase, blend or sell chemicals. Dong Fang does not presently have a license to manufacture finished chemicals. Under the most current arrangement with Tongsheng for finished product sales, Tongsheng purchases raw chemicals from Dong Fang, manufactures specialty blends of chemicals using technology developed by LXD, and sells the finished product to the Company’s customers. Tongsheng remits to the Company revenues it collects in advance of delivering finished product to customers and bills the Company for the related costs.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company decided the EORP business was no longer a core business and ceased all active EORP operations. Accordingly, effective June 20, 2011, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement with Mr. Li Xiang Dong, Mr. Ho Chi Kong and Dong Ying Tong Sheng Sci-Tech Company Limited to dissolve the operations of Beijing Dong Fang Ya Zhou Petroleum Technology Service Company Limited (“Dong Fang”). Pursuant to this settlement agreement, outstanding claims and disputes between the Company and the other parties were settled, existing contracts and agreements were terminated, and disposition of remaining EORP related assets and liabilities was agreed to. The Company agreed to transfer and assign all EORP related patent application rights for patents to Mr. Li Xiang Dong, and the parties agreed to liquidate Dong Fang. The EORP assets are not material in terms of the Company’s total assets, and the minority interest in EORP operations is reflected as a non-controlling interest in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Separation and Release Agreement with Byron A. Dunn

On April 11, 2011, in connection with Mr. Dunn’s resignation, as the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer, and member of the Board of Directors, the Company agreed to provide Mr. Dunn with the following severance and other benefits pursuant to a Separation Agreement and General Release of Claims entered into by and between Mr. Dunn and the Company: (i) the Company agreed to pay Mr. Dunn $400,000 in cash upon the expiration of seven days following the effective date (which amount was paid on April 19, 2011), and $200,000 in cash ninety days following the effective date of the severance agreement (which amount was paid on or about July 11, 2011); (ii) monthly reimbursement of Mr. Dunn’s health benefits under the Company’s group health and dental plan for up to eighteen months following the effective date of the severance agreement; and (iii) upon the expiration of seven days following the effective date of the severance agreement, 250,000 shares of restricted stock issued to Mr. Dunn under the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan shall become fully vested (which became fully vested on April 19, 2011). In addition, the Company and Mr. Dunn agreed to certain other customary terms and conditions, including a release of potential claims, preservation of proprietary and confidential information, and indemnities.

The Separation and General Release of Claims Agreement extinguishes all rights, if any, which Mr. Dunn may have, contractual or otherwise, relating to his employment with Company, including any rights to severance benefits under the Dunn Employment Agreement.

Separation of Abiola L. Lawal

On June 6, 2011, Abiola L. Lawal’s employment with the Company as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer was terminated, effective June 6, 2011, due to Mr. Lawal’s unwillingness to accept a reassignment to the senior executive position of Senior Vice President, Strategy and New Ventures, which was offered by the Company to Mr. Lawal. On July 6, 2011, the Company paid to Mr. Lawal all severance amounts due under the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement that was entered into on March 8, 2011, including (i) $630,000 representing twenty-four (24) months of Mr. Lawal’s base salary, (ii) $315,000 representing Mr. Lawal’s target bonus for 2011, (iii) $29,400 representing required 401(k) contributions, and (iv) acceleration of vesting of all outstanding stock options and restricted stock held by Mr. Lawal. The Company also confirmed that it would provide up to $20,000 in outplacement services and continued insurance coverage for Mr. Lawal as required by that contract.

NOTE 10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FAIR VALUES AND FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENTS

The June 30, 2011, unaudited consolidated balance sheet includes an available-for-sale equity investment in a nonsubsidiary company carried at a fair value of $243,000. The fair value was determined using “Level 1” inputs as defined in ASC Topic 820 (Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). Level 1 inputs represent inputs observable in an active market, which in this case is a public active stock market.

At June 30, 2011, the carrying amounts of the Company’s other financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, short- and long-term investments, trade receivables, deposits, long-term advances, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values, due to the short-term nature and maturities of many of the above listed items.

From time to time we may be involved in various legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of our business.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our Business

CAMAC Energy Inc. is a publicly traded Company which engages in the exploration, development, and production of oil and gas outside the U.S., directly and through joint ventures and other ventures in which it may participate. The Company’s corporate headquarters is located in Houston Texas and currently the Company has interests in OML 120/121 oil and gas leases in deepwater offshore Nigeria along with the rights to significant gas acreage under contract in China. The Company is a strategic partner with several major energy companies in oil and gas fields in Nigeria and China. The Company’s current operations commenced in 2005 through IMPCO, formed as a limited liability company under New York State law on August 25, 2005. Members of the Company’s senior management team have experience in the fields of international oil and gas operations, business development, geology, petroleum engineering, energy services, strategy, government relations, and finance and will seek to utilize their experience, expertise and contacts to create value for shareholders. Oil and gas exploration and production operations are managed geographically. 

For the period from inception of the Company through March 31, 2010, the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared as a development stage company. In the three months ended June 30, 2010 the Company commenced the recognition of significant revenues from operating assets located in Nigeria and at that time ceased reporting as a development stage company.

Africa Developments

OML 120/121 Transaction

In April 2010 the Company had acquired from CAMAC Energy Holdings Limited (“CEHL”), and two of its affiliates, Allied Energy Plc., an and CAMAC International (Nigeria) Limited (“CINL”), (collectively “CEHL Group”), the Oyo Contract Rights in a Production Sharing Contract (the “OML 120/121 PSC”). On December 10, 2010, the Company entered into a Purchase and Continuation Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with CEHL Group, superseding all earlier related agreements. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire CEHL Group’s full remaining economic interest (the “OML 120/121 Transaction”) in the OML 120/121 PSC (the “Non-Oyo Contract Rights”). The OML 120/121 Transaction closed on February 15, 2011. Upon consummation of the acquisition of the Non-Oyo Contract Rights under the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired CEHL Group’s full economic interest in the OML 120/121 PSC. Please see Note 2 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for detailed description of OML120/121 Transaction.

Oyo Field Developments

The Company completed the workover on well #5 in the Oyo Field in mid-January 2011 and incurred a total cost of approximately $55.9 million in an effort to reduce gas production and improve the crude oil production rate from this well. Of this amount, $30.7 million was charged to expense as of December 31, 2010, $24.5 million was charged to expense during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and the remaining $0.7 million was charged to expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The Company is funding the workover using available cash, a debt facility entered into with Allied on June 6, 2011 and through Oyo Field lifting proceeds. The workover on well #5 successfully reduced the amount of gas and water production. The oil production did not significantly increase; however, based on results available to date, the crude oil production rate appears to have stabilized in the short term, although it is anticipated that the production rate will continue to decline.

Well #6 in the Oyo Field is producing at a water cut of about 74%. The current intent is to place the well on gas lift later in the year, using equipment already installed in the well, to increase the gross production by an estimated 200 bbl/d - 400 bbl/d.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, meetings of the Technical and Financial Committees members representing the Company, Camac Petroleum Limited (“CPL”) and Nigerian Agip Exploration Limited (“NAE”) (the Operating Contractor) were held, to review the Oyo Field production performance and to discuss future plans for the Oyo Field and OML 120/121. The Operating Contractor has committed to provide, as soon as possible, the results of ongoing

reservoir studies which have been undertaken to evaluate the viability of further development wells, and the continuing interpretation of 3D seismic should allow identification of the locations of potential exploration wells to be confirmed in OML 120/121. The Company is also exploring options for marketing Oyo Field gas to existing third party gas processing and transportation facilities.

Additionally, both the Company and NAE are reviewing all potential options to ensure the rapid development of OML 120/121, with a final determination anticipated to be made by the end of the year.

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 the Oyo Field had gross crude oil production from two producing wells averaging totals of 4,109 and 4,063 barrels per day, respectively, of which the Company’s net shares including Cost Oil barrels totaled 1,215 and 1,201 barrels per day. In June 2011, there was a lifting of approximately 600,000 barrels of crude oil, at a price of $112.83 per barrel. This was the only sale during the six months ended June 30, 2011. It is anticipated that the next partial lifting and sale of oil from the Oyo Field will occur in September 2011.

China Developments

In January 2011, the Company and its Chinese partner, PetroChina, approved a work program to expedite exploration and delineation of the gas resources in the Zijinshan contract area. The work program consists of drilling three additional wells and conducting a 2D seismic reinterpretation integrating the data obtained from recent drilling. The first of the three wells under this work program, ZJS-3, spudded mid-March 2011, and reached its target depth on May 1, 2011. The second well ZJS-4, spudded the first week of June 2011 and reached its target depth on July 14, 2011. The logs and cores are presently being evaluated by third party contractors. Data obtained from ZJS-3 and ZJS-4 in conjunction with the 2D seismic reinterpretation results will be used to refine the well location for ZJS-5, which is planned to be drilled later in 2011 or early 2012. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had incurred and capitalized approximately $1,721,000 as exploratory drilling costs related to ZJS-3 and ZJS-4, pending determination of whether proved reserves have been found.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company decided the Enhanced Oil Recovery and Production (“EORP”) business was no longer a core business and ceased all active EORP operations. Accordingly, effective June 20, 2011, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement with Mr. Li Xiang Dong, Mr. Ho Chi Kong and Dong Ying Tong Sheng Sci-Tech Company Limited to dissolve the operations of Beijing Dong Fang Ya Zhou Petroleum Technology Service Company Limited (“Dong Fang”). Pursuant to this settlement agreement, outstanding claims and disputes between the Company and the other parties were settled, existing contracts and agreements were terminated, and disposition of remaining EORP related assets and liabilities was agreed to. The Company agreed to transfer and assign all EORP related patent application rights for patents to Mr. Li Xiang Dong, and the parties agreed to liquidate Dong Fang. The EORP assets are not material in terms of the Company’s total assets, and the minority interest in EORP operations is reflected as a non-controlling interest in the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated Statements of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

Our revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $24,892,000 as compared to $12,343,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase of $12,549,000 was primarily related to significantly increased Cost Oil recovery of $16,198,000 (due to cost recovery of workover costs incurred on well #5 in the Oyo Field) and higher revenue per barrel. During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the average gross production from the Oyo Field was 4,109 and 10,072 barrels per day, respectively, and the Company’s share of average daily net production was 1,215 and 554 barrels per day. Our share of production commenced in April 2010. Average revenue per barrel on crude oil sold during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $112.83 and $87.37, respectively.

Lease operating expenses consists of royalty expense, salaries and personnel costs directly associated with the production of oil, and technical service agreement costs. Our lease operating expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $7,292,000 as

compared to $236,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase of $7,056,000 was primarily due to the recognition in 2011 of royalties of $4,875,000 and technical services cost of $1,653,000 related to the oil lifting in June 2011 from the Oyo Field.

Cost of sales consists of costs related to the sale of acquired oil inventory in the second quarter of 2010 and costs associated with our other operating revenue in China. Our cost of sales in the three months ended June 30, 2011 was none as compared to $11,885,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease of $11,885,000 was due to the non-recurring sale of acquired inventory in the prior period.

Exploratory expense consists of salaries and personnel costs related to exploration activities, drilling costs for unsuccessful wells, and costs for acquisition of seismic data. Our exploratory expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $250,000 as compared to $84,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The $166,000 increase was primarily due to increased exploration staff expenses of $76,000, additional 2011 costs of $22,000 related to the ZJS-2 well, and $32,000 related to a seismic study in China in the current period.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses consist of depletion of oil reserves and depreciation of leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures and computer equipment. Our depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $6,941,000 as compared to $126,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase of $6,815,000 was primarily due to recording depletion related to our share of Profit Oil, Cost Oil and Tax Oil during the current period.

General and administrative expenses consists primarily of salaries and related personnel costs of executive management, finance, accounting, legal and human resources, accounting and legal services, consulting projects and insurance. Our general and administrative expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $4,183,000 as compared to $3,195,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $988,000. This was primarily due to an increase in salaries, benefits and bonus expenses of $1,524,000, of which $1,574,000 was due to officer resignations, an increase in consulting and legal expenses of $501,000 and an increase in other expenses of $235,000, partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expense of $1,272,000 principally due to forfeiture of options and restricted stock on officer and director resignations.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the net income attributable to CAMAC Energy Inc. stockholders was $5,697,000 as compared to net loss attributable to CAMAC Energy Inc. stockholders of $3,172,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net income attributable to CAMAC Energy Inc. stockholders of $8,869,000 was primarily due to the recovery of Cost Oil of $16,198,000 related to the workover of well #5 in the Oyo Field from our June 2011 lifting.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

Our revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $24,892,000 as compared to $12,420,000 for the six months ended June, 2010. The increase of $12,472,000 was primarily related to significantly increased Cost Oil recovery of $16,198,000 (due to cost recovery of workover costs incurred on well #5 in the Oyo Field) and higher revenue per barrel. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the three months ended June 30, 2010 (the initial period), the average gross production from the Oyo Field was 4,063 and 10,072 barrels per day respectively, and the Company’s share of average daily net production was 1,201 and 554 barrels per day, respectively. Average revenue per barrel on crude oil sold during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $112.83 and $87.37, respectively.

Our lease operating expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $31,769,000 as compared to $236,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase of $31,533,000 was primarily due to the recognition in 2011 of workover cost of $25,213,000 related to Oyo Well #5, royalties of $4,875,000 and technical services cost of $1,653,000 related to the lifting in June 2011.

Our cost of sales in the six months ended June 30, 2011 was none as compared to $12,023,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease of $12,023,000 was primarily due to the non-recurring sale of acquired inventory in the prior period.

Our exploratory expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $427,000 as compared to $161,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The $266,000 increase was primarily due to increased exploration staff expenses of $115,000, additional 2011 costs of $112,000 related to the ZJS-2 well, and $62,000 related to a seismic study in China in the current period.

Our depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $7,007,000 as compared to $175,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase of $6,832,000 was primarily due to recording increased depletion related to our share of Profit Oil, Cost Oil and Tax Oil during the current period.

Our general and administrative expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $7,674,000 as compared to $6,326,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase of $1,348,000 was primarily due to an increase in salaries, benefits and bonus expenses of $1,768,000, of which $1,574,000 was due to officer resignations, an increase in consulting and legal expenses of $673,000 and an increase in other expenses of $344,000, partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expense of $1,437,000 principally due to forfeiture of options and restricted stock on officer and director resignations.

Africa

Our revenues in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were $24,892,000, as compared to $12,248,000 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. The revenues increased by $12,644,000 during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 primarily due to significantly increased Cost Oil related volumes (due to cost recovery of workover costs on well #5 in the Oyo Field) and higher revenue per barrel in the current period. This was partially offset by decreased Profit Oil related volumes due to a smaller size cargo sale in 2011.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 versus June 30, 2010, net income increased by $9,701,000 principally due to higher revenues from the sale of crude oil less decreased Profit Oil related volumes as previously discussed above. Additionally, the liquidation of acquired inventory in the 2010 period resulted in minimal profit.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 versus June 30, 2010, net loss increased by $14,788,000, due to workover expenses on well #5 in the Oyo Field of $25,213,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2011, partially offset by higher revenues from the sale of crude oil. The higher revenues related to Cost Oil of $16,198,000 and Profit Oil of $3,340,000 from the June 2011 lifting as compared to liquidation of acquired inventory in 2010 which resulted in minimal profit in the 2010 period.

Table of Contents

The results for the Africa segment for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 should not be viewed as predictive of future results. The dollar amount of the Company’s participation in the expenditures of the PSC will vary from period to period; for amounts chargeable to expense as incurred rather than capitalized, the expense charge is likely to occur prior to recovery in revenues as Cost Oil because sales do not occur every month due to cargo size requirements. As of June 30, 2011 the Company has recorded all expense for the workover on well #5 in the Oyo Field, but has still to recover a significant portion of that expense in future Cost Oil revenue. However, such Cost Oil is also subject to recording of depletion expense charges on a unit-of-production rate basis as the oil is sold, which will reduce the impact of that future revenue on net income.

Asia

Our revenues in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were none as compared to $95,000 and $172,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The revenues decreased in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to the ceasing of activities in our EORP business since late 2010. Net loss for the Asia segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $705,000 and $1,396,000, respectively as compared to $637,000 and $1,238,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The increase in net loss of $68,000 and $158,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively was primarily due to additional drilling costs related to the previously announced unsuccessful ZJS 2 well and a seismic study in the current period.

Corporate

Net loss attributable in the Corporate segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $3,502,000 and $6,520,000, respectively, as compared to $2,738,000 and $5,311,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The increase in net loss of $764,000 and $1,209,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, was primarily due to an increase in salaries, benefits and bonus expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $11,226,000, accounts receivable of $28,229,000, which was collected on July 28, 2011, accounts payable of $1,231,000 and accrued expenses of $34,034,000. The net cash provided by (used in) each of the operating, investing and financing activities are summarized in the following table and discussed in further detail below (in thousands):

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $36,410,000 as compared to $13,236,000 of net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The net decrease effect of $49,646,000 was primarily due to an increase in receivables in the current period, versus a decrease in receivables in the prior period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, net cash used in investing activities was $6,294,000 as compared to $30,650,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease of $24,356,000 primarily relates to prior period during which $32,000,000 cash was paid as partial consideration to acquire the Oyo Field economic interest, versus the $5,000,000 payment related to the OML 120/121 Transaction in the current period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, net cash provided by financing activities was $25,030,000 as compared to $35,736,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease of $10,706,000 primarily relates to the prior period during which two registered direct offerings of equity securities occurred related to the Oyo Contract Rights acquisition, partially offset by the proceeds from the Promissory Note in the current period.

Based upon current cash flow projections, management believes that the Company will have sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow requirements through June 2012.

Our continued operations will depend on whether we are able to raise additional funds through equity, debt financing or strategic alliances. Previously, all of our financing had been raised through private placements and registered direct offerings of equity instruments, and debt financing arranged through a related party. Such additional funds may not become available on acceptable terms, if at all, and any additional funding obtained may not be sufficient to fund our future operations, including participation in the Oyo Field development.

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.
