Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On October 14, 2014, 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, intense competition in the oil and gas industry, the Registrant’s dependence on its management, volatile oil and gas prices, uncertainties associated with oil and gas reserve estimates, operating and capital costs and the Registrant’s need to replace production and acquire or develop additional oil and 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.

On October 14, 2014, the Registrant issued a press release announcing that it has commenced a new underwritten public offering of its Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. A copy of such press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K furnished pursuant to Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to liability under that section, and they shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing. By filing this Current Report on Form 8-K and furnishing this information pursuant to Item 7.01, the Registrant makes no admission as to the materiality of any information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, that is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.
