| Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Conditions |
On May 14, 2013, CAMAC Energy Inc. issued a press release announcing financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. All information in this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" with the SEC for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that Section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except to the extent the registrant specifically incorporates it by reference.
The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only “reserves,” as that term is defined under SEC rules. We use the term “resource potential” in the press release in reference to OML 120 and 121, which the SEC’s guidelines do not permit us to include in our filings with the SEC.
