Erin Energy Announces Second Quarter 2015 Results
Provides Operational Update on its West and East Africa Operations

HOUSTON, August 10, 2015 - Erin Energy Corporation (Erin Energy or the Company) (NYSE
MKT:ERN) (JSE:ERN) announced today financial and operational results for the quarter ended
June 30, 2015. The Company has filed its Form 10-Q for the second quarter 2015 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Second Quarter 2015 Highlights:

-   Tied in the Oyo-7 and Oyo-8 wells;
-   Gross production of more than 450,000 barrels of oil;
-   Significant progress made on the technical evaluation of ESWT block in Ghana;
-   Extended exploration period on The Gambia blocks A2 and A5 through 2018; and
-   Application made to move to next phase of exploration of onshore Kenya blocks L1B and
    L16.

“Erin Energy continued to build momentum during the second quarter,” said Kase Lawal,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Bringing the Oyo-7 and Oyo-8 wells on production were
significant milestones in your company’s history. During the quarter, we delivered production in
excess of 450,000 barrels of oil once the Oyo field was brought online. Growth is at the center
of Erin Energy and this achievement is just the beginning for us.”

Operations Summary

During the quarter, the Company commenced production of Oyo-7 and Oyo-8 wells offshore
Nigeria. As of August 1, 2015, the combined production rate of Oyo-7 and Oyo-8 wells was
approximately 13,100 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) (~11,500 BOPD net to the Company). The
Company continues to operate the wells by employing good reservoir management techniques
and the wells have outperformed Erin Energy’s pre-drill projections for the period.

The Company was granted an extension to the initial exploration period for the A2 and A5
blocks in The Gambia during the quarter, and subsequently commenced a 1,500 square
kilometre 3D seismic data acquisition over the blocks, which is expected to be completed in
September 2015 and is a key step in high-grading the asset.

In June, based on the 2D seismic interpretation and in accordance with the provisions of the
PSC, Erin Energy met with the Kenyan government and submitted the required applications to
enter the First Additional Exploration Period (FAEP) of both onshore blocks L1B and L16. The
Company expects the FAEP on both blocks will be granted during the third quarter 2015.
Additionally, Erin Energy has applied for a two-year extension of the Initial Exploration Period for
the offshore Kenya blocks L27 and L28 in order to seek a farm-in partner and to acquire 3D
seismic data.

In Ghana, significant progress was made on the technical evaluation of the three previously
discovered oil fields on the Expanded Shallow Water Tano block. The Company has now
commenced the economic evaluation of the resource volumes in place and expects to complete
the economic modelling and engage with the joint venture partners by September 2015.
Additionally, Erin Energy’s technical team continues the maturation process on several identified
prospects on the block.

Financial Summary

For the quarter, Erin Energy reported a net loss of $9.2 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted
share. Following the tie-in of the Oyo-8 and Oyo-7 wells during the second quarter, oil
production averaged 7,642 BOPD (6,725 BOPD net to the Company). Second quarter revenues
were nil as liftings of Oyo crude did not commence until the beginning of the third quarter 2015.
Subsequent to second quarter ending, The Company generated revenue of $15.3 million from
crude lifting in July and received an additional $26.5 million as advance payment for a
scheduled August lifting of Oyo crude.

Production expense for the second quarter of 2015 was a net credit of $5.6 million due to an
agreed price reduction in the operating day rate with the operator of the FPSO for the period
from July 2014 to April 2015. This resulted in a $26 million production cost reduction recorded
in June 2015. Production expense for the same period 2014 was $15.5 million.

The Company incurred exploration expenses totaling $1.5 million during the second quarter of
2015, compared to $0.4 million in the same period 2014. Total capital expenditures in the
second quarter were approximately $68.1 million.

 which is the majority shareholder of the Company. As a result, he may be deemed to have
 an indirect material interest in transactions contemplated with CEHL and any of its
 affiliates.
2. Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The accompanying unaudited 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 unaudited 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. This Form 10-Q
should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the
SEC on March 16, 2015.
Reverse Stock Split
Effective April 22, 2015, the Company implemented a reverse stock split, whereby each six
shares of outstanding common stock pre-split was converted into one share of common
stock post-split (the “reverse stock split”). All share and per share amounts for all periods
presented herein have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split as if it had occurred
at the beginning of the first period presented.
Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S.
GAAP requires management to make estimates based on certain assumptions. Estimates
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses attributable to the reporting periods.
Accordingly, accounting estimates in conformity with U.S. GAAP require the exercise of
judgment. These estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the Company’s
consolidated financial statements are based on information available as of the date of the
consolidated financial statements, and while management believes that the estimates and
assumptions are appropriate, actual results could differ from management's estimates.

Estimates that may have a significant effect on the Company’s financial position and results
from operations include share-based compensation assumptions, oil and natural gas
reserve quantities, depletion and amortization relating to oil and natural gas


properties, asset retirement obligation assumptions, and income taxes. The accounting
estimates used in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements may
change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is
obtained and our operating environment changes.
Capitalized Interest
The Company capitalizes interest costs for qualifying oil and gas properties. The
capitalization period begins when expenditures are incurred on qualified properties,
activities begin which are necessary to prepare the property for production, and interest
costs have been incurred. The capitalization period continues as long as these events occur.
Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the underlying assets and is depleted using the
unit-of-production method in the same manner as the underlying assets.

 During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company capitalized $2.2
 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in interest cost as additions to property, plant and
 equipment related to the Oyo field redevelopment campaign.
Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic 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 outstanding at the end of the
reporting period. Diluted net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net
earnings or loss by the fully diluted common stock equivalent, which consists of shares
outstanding, augmented by potentially dilutive shares issuable upon the exercise of stock
options, unvested restricted stock awards, warrants, and conversion of the Convertible
Subordinated Note, calculated using the treasury stock method.
The table below sets forth the number of shares issuable pursuant to stock options,
unvested restricted stock awards, and shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible
Subordinated Note that were excluded from diluted shares outstanding during the three
and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, as these securities are anti-dilutive because
the Company was in a loss position for each period.

                                             Three Months Ended June 30,           Six Months Ended June 30,

 Upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company is also contingently liable to make
 additional payments to Allied, under the Transfer Agreement, up to an additional amount
 totaling $50.0 million in cash, or the equivalent in shares of the Company’s common
 stock, at Allied’s option. See Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies for further
 information.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price
as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements. Fair value is the price
that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash and cash
equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, inventory, deposits, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities, and debts at floating interest rates, approximate their fair values at
June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, respectively, principally due to the short-term
nature, maturities or nature of interest rates of the above listed items.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting
Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual
Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating
the Concept of Extraordinary Items. ASU No. 2015-01 eliminates from US GAAP the concept
of extraordinary items, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015.
The Company will adopt this standards update, as required, beginning with the first
quarter of 2016. The adoption of this standards update is not expected to have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810):
 Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are
 required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. ASU No.
 2015-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015,
 and the Company will adopt this standards update, as required, beginning with the first
 quarter of 2016. The adoption of this standards update is not expected to have a material
 impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest
 (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which is guidance
 for the reporting of debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability on an
 entity's balance sheet. Under the guidance, an entity must report debt issuance costs as a
 direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with the
 treatment for debt discounts. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for interim and annual periods
 beginning after December 15, 2015; early adoption is permitted for financial statements
 that have not been previously issued. The Company will adopt this standards update
 beginning with the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of this standards update is not
 expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other-
 Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in Cloud
 Computing Arrangement. ASU 2015-05 is new guidance to help entities evaluate the
 accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. ASU No. 2015-
 05 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and the
 Company will adopt this standards update, as required, beginning with the first quarter
 of 2016. The adoption of this standards update is not expected to have a material impact
 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805):
 Pushdown Accounting - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Accounting
 Bulletin No. 115. The amendments in ASU 2015-08 amend various SEC paragraphs
 included in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification to reflect the issuance of Staff
 Accounting Bulletin No. 115 (“SAB 115”). SAB 115 rescinds portions of the interpretive
 guidance included in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletins series and brings existing
 guidance into conformity with ASU No. 2014-17, “Business Combinations (Topic 805):
 Pushdown Accounting,” which provides an acquired entity with an option to apply
 pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in
 which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. The Company has adopted the
 amendments in ASU 2015-08, effective May 8, 2015, as the amendments in the update are
 effective upon issuance. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company's
 consolidated financial statements.
3. Liquidity Matters
The Company’s primary cash requirements are for capital expenditures for the
redevelopment of the Oyo field in Nigeria, operating expenditures for the Oyo field,
exploration activities in its unevaluated leaseholds, working capital needs, and interest and
principal payments under current indebtedness.
Crude oil production is a primary source of operating cash for the Company. The Company
commenced production from the Oyo-8 well in early May 2015 and from the Oyo-7 well in
mid-June 2015. After a period of retooling and optimization, the current combined
production rate from the two wells is approximately 13,100 barrels of oil per day ("BOPD")
(approximately 11,500 BOPD net to the Company after royalty). In July 2015, the Company
lifted and sold approximately 312,000 Bbls of crude oil (274,000 Bbls net to the Company)
at a price of $55.78/Bbls. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately $15.3 million.
Further, the Company expects to sell approximately 650,000 Bbls of crude oil in August
2015 (572,000 Bbls net to the Company). If actual production rates decline substantially
below anticipated rates, or if oil prices decline significantly from current levels, the
Company may need to seek additional sources of capital.
In March 2015, the Company entered into a borrowing facility with Allied for a Convertible
Note (the "2015 Convertible Note"), separate from the existing $25.0 million Promissory
Note and the $50.0 million Convertible Subordinated Note, allowing the Company to
borrow up to $50.0 million for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2015, the
outstanding principal under the
2015 Convertible Note was $44.0 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2015, the Company
borrowed additional funds totaling $4.0 million under the note. See Note 7 - Debt for
additional information.
In May 2015, the Company executed a term sheet for a commodity-based Full Recourse
Prepayment Facility (the “Prepayment Facility”) with Glencore Energy UK Ltd. The
Prepayment Facility, which is subject to completion of legal documentation and certain
conditions precedent, would provide proceeds in two tranches. The initial tranche, a term
prepayment facility, would be available to the Company in drawdowns totaling up to $50.0
million towards the Oyo field redevelopment program, and would depend on the
Company’s ability to meet certain production targets. The second tranche consists of an
inventory revolving facility up to a total of $100.0 million. The Company expects the
Prepayment Facility to be finalized during the third quarter of 2015.
In July 2015, the Company received $13.0 million as an advance under a stand-alone spot
sales contract with Glencore Energy UK Ltd. (the “July Advance”). Interest accrued on the
July Advance at the rate of LIBOR plus 6.5%. Repayment of the July Advance was made
from the July crude oil lifting.
In August 2015, the Company received another advance amounting to $26.5 million under
a stand-alone spot sales contract with Glencore Energy UK Ltd. (the “August Advance”).
Interest accrues on the August Advance at the rate of LIBOR plus 6.5%. Repayment of the
August Advance will be made from the August crude oil lifting.
The Company’s majority shareholder has formally committed to provide the Company with
additional funding, the form of which would be determined at the time of funding, sufficient
to maintain the Company’s operations and to allow the Company to meet its current and
future obligations as they become due for one year from March 12, 2015, the date of said
commitment.
4. Property, Plant and Equipment
 Property, plant and equipment were comprised of the following:
                                                                        June 30,

All of the Company’s Oilfield assets are located in Nigeria. “Work-in-progress and other”
includes ongoing costs for wells that are not yet completed, suspended exploratory well
costs, as well as warehouse inventory items purchased as part of the redevelopment plan of
the Oyo field .
5. Suspended Exploratory Well Costs
      In November 2013, the Company achieved both its primary and secondary drilling
      objectives for the Oyo-7 well. The primary drilling objective was to establish production
      from the existing Pliocene reservoir. The secondary drilling objective was to confirm the
      presence of hydrocarbons in the deeper Miocene formation. Hydrocarbons were
      encountered in three intervals totaling approximately 65 feet, as interpreted by logging-
      while-drilling (“LWD”) data. Management is making plans to further explore the Miocene
      formation in future wells. Suspended exploratory well costs were $26.5 million at both
      June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, for the costs related to the Miocene exploratory
      drilling activities.


         In August 2014, the Oyo-8 well was drilled to a total vertical depth of approximately
         6,059 feet (approximately 1,847 meters) and successfully encountered four new oil and
         gas reservoirs in the eastern fault block, with total gross hydrocarbon thickness of 112
         feet, based on results from the LWD data, reservoir pressure measurement, and
         reservoir fluid sampling. Management has commenced a detailed evaluation of the
         results and plans to further explore the Pliocene formation in the eastern fault block and
         establish the size of the incremental additions. Suspended exploratory well costs were
         $6.5 million at both June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, for the costs related to the
         Pliocene exploration drilling activities in the eastern fault block.
      6. Asset Retirement Obligations
      The Company’s asset retirement obligations primarily represent the estimated fair value of
      the amounts that will be incurred to plug, abandon and remediate certain oil and gas
      properties at the end of their productive lives. Significant inputs used in determining such
      obligations include, but are not limited to, estimates of plugging and abandonment costs,
      estimated future inflation rates and changes in property lives. The inputs are calculated
      based on historical data as well as current estimated costs.

         On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the assumptions used to estimate the
         expected cash flows required to settle the asset retirement obligations, including
         changes in estimated probabilities, amounts and timing of the settlement of the asset
         retirement obligations, as well as changes in the legal obligation for each of its
         properties. Changes in any one or more of these assumptions may cause revisions in the
         estimated liabilities for the corresponding assets.

         The following summarizes changes in the Company’s asset retirement obligations during
         the six months ended June 30, 2015 ( in thousands ):

Balance at January 1                                                                     $      26,533

Accretion expense                                                                                     876

Additions                                                                                         9,416

        In April 2015, the Company completed plug and abandonment ("P&A") activities for well
        Oyo-6 that was previously shut-in. Actual P&A expenditures exceeded estimated P&A
        liabilities by $3.5 million. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $3.5 million loss on
        settlement of asset retirement obligations.

        The table below shows the current and long-term portions of the Company's asset
        retirement obligations as of the end of each period:
                                                                             June 30,
      (In thousands)                                                           2015                 December 31, 2014


      Asset retirement obligations, current portion                                     —                  12,703

                                                                        $       23,838          $          26,533

        Accretion expense is recognized as a component of depreciation, depletion and
        amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
      7. Debt
      Promissory Note – Long-Term (Related Party)
      The Company has a $25.0 million borrowing facility under a Promissory Note (the
      “Promissory Note”) with Allied. Interest accrues on the outstanding principal under the
      Promissory Note at a rate of the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus
      2% per annum, payable quarterly. In March 2015, the Promissory Note was amended to
      extend the maturity date by one year to July 2016. The entire $25.0 million facility amount
      can be utilized for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2015, the outstanding
      principal and interest under the Promissory Note was $25.0 million and $0.6 million,
      respectively.
      Convertible Subordinated Note – Long-Term (Related Party)
      As partial consideration in connection with the February 2014 closing of the Allied
      Transaction, the Company issued a $50.0 million Convertible Subordinated Note in favor of
      Allied (the “Convertible Subordinated Note”). Interest on the Convertible Subordinated
      Note accrues at a rate per annum of one-month LIBOR plus 5%, payable quarterly in cash
      until the maturity of the Convertible Subordinated Note five years from the closing of the
      Allied Transaction.
      At the election of the holder, the Convertible Subordinated Note is convertible into shares
      of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $4.2984 per share, subject
      to anti-dilution adjustments. The Convertible Subordinated Note is subordinated to the
      Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness and is subject to acceleration upon an
      Event of Default (as defined in the Convertible Subordinated Note). The Company may, at
      its option, prepay the Convertible Subordinated Note in whole or in part, at any time,
      without premium or penalty, and is subject to mandatory prepayment upon (i) the
Company’s issuance of capital stock or incurrence of indebtedness, the proceeds of which
the Company does not apply to repayment of senior indebtedness or (ii) any capital
markets debt issuance to the extent the net proceeds of such issuance exceed $250.0
million. Allied may assign all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Convertible
Subordinated Note to any person upon written notice to the Company. As of June 30, 2015,
the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Convertible Subordinated Note
was $50.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively.
Term Loan Facility
In September 2014, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary CPL, entered into a
credit facility with a Nigerian bank for a five-year senior secured term loan providing initial
borrowing capacity of up to $100.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility”). 90% of the Term
Loan Facility is available in U.S. dollar, while the remaining 10% is available in Nigerian
Naira. U.S. dollar borrowings under the Term Loan Facility currently bear interest at the
rate of LIBOR plus 10.5%. The obligations under the Term Loan Facility include a legal
charge over OMLs 120 and 121 and an assignment of proceeds from oil sales. The
obligations of CPL have been guaranteed by the Company and rank in priority with all its
other obligations. Proceeds from the Term Loan Facility were used for the further
expansion and development of the Oyo field offshore Nigeria.
Under the Term Loan Facility, the following events, among others, constitute events of
default: CPL failing to pay any amounts due within thirty days of the due date; bankruptcy,
insolvency, liquidation or dissolution of CPL; a material breach of the Loan Agreement by
CPL that remains unremedied within thirty days of written notice by CPL; or a
representation or warranty of CPL proves to have been incorrect or materially inaccurate
when made. Upon any event of default, all outstanding principal and interest under any
loans will become immediately due and payable.
The Term Loan Facility contains normal and customary covenants including the delivery of
the Company’s annual audited financial information each year, and a provision of priority
of interest, in which the Company is to procure that its obligations under the Term Loan
Facility do and will rank in priority with all its other current and future unsecured and
unsubordinated obligations. The Company is also to provide a production and lifting
schedule each month displaying the daily production totals and quantities lifted
respectively from OMLs 120 and 121. The Company was in compliance with all loan
covenants as of June 30, 2015.
Upon executing the Term Loan Facility, the Company paid a $2.1 million commitment fee,
which was recorded as debt issuance cost and is being amortized over the life of the Term
Loan Facility using the effective interest method. As of June 30, 2015, $1.9 million of the
debt issuance cost remain unamortized. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the
Company recognized an unrealized foreign currency gain of $1.6 million on the Naira
portion of the loan, reducing the net balance under the Term Loan Facility to $98.4 million.
Of this amount, $79.9 million was classified as long-term and $18.5 million as short-term.
Accrued interest for the Term Loan Facility was $2.5 million as of June 30, 2015.
2015 Convertible Note (Related Party)
In March 2015, the Company entered into a new borrowing facility with Allied for a
Convertible Note (the “2015 Convertible Note”) allowing the Company to borrow up to
$50.0 million for general corporate purposes. The 2015 Convertible Note will mature in
December 2016. Interest accrues at the rate of LIBOR plus 5%, and is payable quarterly.
The 2015 Convertible Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock upon
the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, at the sole option of the holder. The
number of shares issuable upon conversion is equal to the sum of the principal amount and
the accrued and unpaid interest divided by the conversion price, defined as the volume
weighted average of

the closing sales prices on the NYSE MKT for a share of common stock for the five complete
trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.
As of June 30, 2015, the Company had borrowed $44.0 million under the note and issued to
Allied warrants to purchase approximately 2.4 million shares of the Company’s common
stock at prices ranging from $2.46 to $7.85 per share. The total fair market value of the
warrants amounting to $4.5 million based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model was
recorded as a discount from the note, and is being amortized using the effective interest
method over the life of the note. As of June 30, 2015, the unamortized balance of the note
discount was $3.8 million.
Additional warrants are issuable in connection with future borrowings, with the per share
price for those warrants determined based on the market price of the Company’s common
stock at the time of such future borrowings. As of June 30, 2015, the Company owed $40.2
million under the 2015 Convertible Note, net of discount. Accrued interest on the 2015
Convertible Note was $0.5 million as of June 30, 2015.
Subsequent to June 30, 2015, the Company borrowed an additional $4.0 million under the
2015 Convertible Note and issued to Allied warrants to purchase approximately 0.2 million
shares of the Company's common stock with exercise prices ranging from $3.71 to $3.93
per share.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
In February 2014, a long-term contract was signed for the floating, production, storage, and
offloading vessel (“FPSO”) Armada Perdana, which is the vessel currently connected to the
Company’s producing wells Oyo-8 and Oyo-7 in Nigeria. The contract provides for an initial
term of seven 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. In June 2015, the operator of the FPSO agreed to a price
reduction for the operating day rates incurred by the Company for the period from July
2014 to April 2015. This resulted in a $26.0 million reduction in previously accrued
production costs. The remaining annual minimum commitment per the terms of the
agreement is approximately $48.4 million through 2020.

 In December 2014, the Company entered into a short-term drilling contract for the semi-
 submersible drilling rig Sedco Express to complete the horizontal drilling portion of wells
 Oyo-7 and Oyo-8. The Company finished completion operations for well Oyo-8 in March
 2015, and the drilling rig was released in June 2015 upon successful completion of the
 Oyo-7 well.
The Company also has commitments related to four production sharing contracts with the
Government of the Republic of Kenya (the “Kenya PSCs”), two Petroleum Exploration,
Development & Production Licenses with the Republic of The Gambia (the “Gambia
Licenses”), and one Petroleum Agreement with the Republic of Ghana. In all cases, the
Company entered into these commitments through a subsidiary. To maintain compliance
and ownership, the Company is required to fulfill certain minimum work obligations and to
make certain payments as stated in each of the Kenya PSCs, the Gambia Licenses, and the
Ghana Petroleum Agreement.
Contingencies
Legal Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings and claims in
the ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2015, and through the filing date of this
report, the Company does not believe the ultimate resolution of such actions or potential
actions of which the Company is currently aware will have a material effect on its
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 On June 28, 2015, the Company, CPL and an affiliate of CEHL, the Company's majority
 shareholder (collectively, the "Erin Parties") entered into a Settlement Agreement with
 Northern Offshore International Drilling Company Ltd. ("Northern"), pursuant to which
 the parties agreed (i) to settle all disputes and release all claims relating to the daywork
 drilling contract for Northern’s drillship Energy Searcher and (ii) to terminate the
 arbitration proceedings in London. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, neither
 the Erin Parties nor Northern paid any amounts to the other to settle the disputes, and
 each party agreed to bear its own legal fees and to share equally the arbitration costs. As
 a result of the settlement, the Company recorded a reduction in accounts payable and
 accrued liabilities of approximately $24.3 million.

Contingency under the Allied Transfer Agreement
As provided for under the Transfer Agreement with Allied, the Company is required to
make the following additional payments upon the occurrence of certain future events: (i)
$25.0 million cash or the equivalent in shares of the Company’s common stock within
fifteen days following the approval of a development plan by the Nigerian Department of
Petroleum Resources with respect to a first new discovery of hydrocarbons in a non-Oyo
field area; and (ii) $25.0 million cash or the equivalent in shares of the Company’s common
stock within fifteen days starting from the commencement of the first hydrocarbon
production in commercial quantities in a non-Oyo field area. The number of shares to be
issued shall be determined by calculating the average closing price of the Company’s
common stock over a period of thirty days, counted back from the first business day
immediately prior to the approval of a development plan by the Nigerian Department of
Petroleum Resources or the date of the first hydrocarbon production in commercial
quantities, as applicable.

(PBRSA) to certain officers totaling 0.4 million shares. Each grant will vest if the individuals
remain employed three years from the date of grant and the Company achieves specific
performance objectives at the end of the designated performance period. Up to 50%
additional shares may be awarded if performance objectives are exceeded. None of the
PBRSAs will vest if certain minimum performance goals are not met. The performance
conditions are based on the Company’s total shareholder return over the performance
period compared to an industry peer group of companies. Total estimated compensation
expense is $0.4 million over three years.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our Business
Erin Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation, is an independent oil and gas exploration
and production company focused on energy resources in Africa. Our strategy is to acquire
and develop high-potential exploration and production assets in Africa, and to explore and
develop those assets through strategic partnerships with national oil companies,
indigenous local partners, and other independent oil companies. We seek to build and
operate a strategic portfolio of high-impact exploration and near-term development
projects with significant production, reserves, and resources growth potential.
We seek to actively manage investments and on-going operations by limiting capital
exposure through farm-outs at various stages of exploration and development to share
risks and costs. We prioritize on building a strong technical and operational team and place
an emphasis on the utilization of modern oil field technologies that mature our assets,
reduce the cost of our projects and improve the efficiency of our operations.
Our shares are traded on the NYSE MKT and on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ("JSE")
under the symbol “ERN.”
Our asset portfolio consists of nine licenses across four countries covering an area of
approximately 43,000 square kilometers (approximately 10 million acres). We own
producing properties offshore Nigeria and conduct exploration activities offshore Nigeria,
onshore and offshore Kenya, offshore The Gambia, and offshore Ghana.
Our operating subsidiaries include CAMAC Petroleum Limited (“CPL”), CAMAC Energy
Kenya Limited, CAMAC Energy Gambia Limited, and CAMAC Energy Ghana Limited.
We conduct certain business transactions with our majority shareholder, CAMAC Energy
Holdings Limited (“CEHL”) and its affiliates. See Note 8 - Related Party Transactions to the
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Our Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Chief Executive Officer, is a director
of each of the above listed related parties. He indirectly owns 27.7% of CEHL, which is the
majority shareholder of the Company. As a result, he may be deemed to have an indirect
material interest in transactions conducted with any of the above related party companies
and their affiliates.
Nigeria
The Company currently owns 100% of the economic interests in Oil Mining Leases 120 and
121 ("OMLs") offshore Nigeria, which includes the currently producing Oyo field.
In December 2014, the Company entered into a contract for the semi-submersible rig Sedco
Express to expedite the Oyo field development campaign, including the horizontal
completion and production tie-in of wells Oyo-8 and Oyo-7.
In March 2015, the Company finished completion operations for well Oyo-8, and
successfully hooked it up to the FPSO. Production commenced in May 2015. In April 2015,
the Company completed plug and abandonment activities for well Oyo-6, a well that was
previously shut-in in 2014. The semi-submersible rig Sedco Express was then mobilized to
the Oyo-7 well location to initiate horizontal completion activities for well Oyo-7. The
Company commenced production from well Oyo-7 in mid-June 2015. Current combined
daily production from both wells is approximately 13,100 BOPD (approximately 11,500
BOPD net to the Company after royalty).
Current plans include the recompletion of previously shut-in well Oyo-5 into a water
injection well, and drilling an additional development well to increase production from the
Oyo field. Additionally, the Company is making plans to drill one or two exploration wells,
depending on capital and rig availability.
Kenya
The Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into four production sharing
contracts with the Government of the Republic of Kenya, covering onshore exploration
blocks L1B and L16, and offshore exploration blocks L27 and L28 (the “Kenya PSCs”). Each
block requires specific work commitments to be completed by the end of the respective
license periods. The Company is the operator of all blocks 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 initial exploration period for onshore blocks L1B and L16 ended in June 2015. The
Company finished the required 2-D seismic data acquisition in February 2015. The
Company has satisfied all material contractual obligations under the initial exploration
period for onshore blocks L1B and L16 as of June 30, 2015. In accordance with the
provisions of the Kenya PSCs, the Company exercised its right to apply for the First
Additional Exploration Period for both blocks, with specified additional minimum work
obligations, including the acquisition of seismic data and the drilling of one exploratory
well on each block over a two-year period. Following discussions with the Government of
the Republic of Kenya, the Company believes that the First Additional Exploration Period
for both onshore blocks will be granted.
The initial exploration period for offshore blocks L27 and L28 ended on August 8, 2015. As
of the date of this report, the remaining contractual obligation under the initial exploration
period is for the Company to acquire, process, and interpret 3-D seismic data over both
offshore blocks. The Company plans to pursue completion of the work program, and is also
considering the possibility of farming-out a portion of its rights to both offshore blocks to
potential partners. Accordingly, the Company has applied for a two-year extension of the
Initial Exploration Period for both blocks in order to bring in potential partners and
complete the remaining work obligations. Following discussions with the Government of
the Republic of Kenya, the Company believes that the extension will be granted to complete
the work program. Upon completion of the work program, 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 seismic data and the drilling of one
exploratory well on each block during each additional period.
The Gambia
The Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into two Petroleum
Exploration, Development & Production Licenses with The Republic of The Gambia, for
offshore exploration blocks A2 and A5 (the “Gambia Licenses”). Each block requires
specific work commitments to be completed by the end of the respective license periods.
For both blocks, the Company is the operator, with the Gambian National Petroleum
Company (“GNPCo”) 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 GNPCo elects to participate.
The term of the initial exploration period for both blocks A2 and A5 was extended by two
years through December 2018 following an amendment agreement (the "Amendment")
entered into with The Republic of the Gambia in May 2015. As of June 30, 2015, the
remaining contractual obligations, pursuant to the Amendment, under the Gambia Licenses
for both blocks is for the Company to i) acquire, process and interpret 750 square
kilometers of 3-D seismic data and ii) drill one exploration well on either block A2 or A5
and evaluate the drilling results. As consideration for the Amendment, the Company agreed
to i) pay a $1.0 million extension fee, ii) provide a full well guarantee on either block at
such time that the Company enters into a farm-in agreement with a partner, and iii) pay the
annual contractual Training and Resources Expenses into a Government of Gambia bank
account in The Gambia. The Company intends to pursue completion of the work program,
and is also considering the possibility of farming-out a portion of its rights to both blocks to
potential partners.
In mid-July 2015, the Company commenced the shooting of a 3-D seismic survey off the
coast of The Gambia. The survey is expected to take approximately 50 days to complete and
will cover approximately 1,500 square kilometers on the Company's A2 and A5 blocks.
Ghana
The Company, through an indirect 50%-owned subsidiary, entered into a Petroleum
Agreement with the Republic of Ghana (the “Petroleum Agreement”) relating to the
Expanded Shallow Water Tano block offshore Ghana. The Contracting Parties, which hold
90% of the participating interest in the block, are CAMAC Energy Ghana Limited as the
operator, GNPC Exploration and Production Company Limited, and Base Energy
(collectively the “Contracting Parties”), holding 60%, 25%, and 15% share of the
participating interest of the Contracting Parties, respectively. Ghana National Petroleum
Company initially has a 10% carried interest through the exploration phase, and will have
the option to acquire an additional 10% paying interest following a declaration of
commerciality. The Company owns 50% of its CAMAC Energy Ghana Limited subsidiary.
The remaining 50% interest is owned by an entity related to the Company’s majority
shareholder.
In January 2015, the Petroleum Agreement became effective, following the signing of a Joint
Operating Agreement between the Contracting Parties. The initial exploration period ends
in January 2017. The remaining contractual obligations under the initial exploration period
are for the Company to i) complete the economic and commercial evaluation of three
previously discovered fields within nine months of the effective date of the Petroleum
Agreement, ii) reprocess existing 2-D and 3-D seismic data and iii) drill one exploration
well.
Work is ongoing to establish the economic viability of the previously discovered fields.

months ended June 30, 2015, the Company sold no oil. For the three months ended June 30,
2014, the Company sold approximately 135,000 net barrels of oil at an average price of
$110.40/Bbl.
During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the average net daily production
from the Oyo field, over the number of days production occurred was approximately 6,700
and 1,600 BOPD, respectively.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Production costs for the three months ended June 30, 2015, were a net credit of $5.6
million, as compared to expenditures of $15.5 million for the same period in 2014. In June
2015, the operator of the FPSO agreed to a price reduction for the operating day rates
incurred by the Company for the period from July 2014 to April 2015. This resulted in a
$26.0 million reduction in production costs recognized in June 2015, partially offset by
higher charges recorded for the FPSO as a result of certain scheduled repairs.
During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company spent $0.6 million to repair a
control module associated with its well Oyo-4 that is currently operating as a gas injection
well. The expenditure was recorded as a workover expense. There were no workover
expenses incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company incurred $1.5 million of
exploration expenses, including $0.5 million spent in Kenya, $0.3 million spent in The
Gambia, and $0.7 million spent in Ghana for exploration activities. During the three months
ended June 30, 2014, the Company incurred $0.4 million of exploration expenses, which
were primarily spent in The Gambia.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) expenses, including asset retirement
obligation accretion, for the three months ended June 30, 2015, were $0.4 million, as
compared to $6.0 million for the same period in 2014. In the three months ended June 30,
2015, oilfield depletion expenses were nil, compared to $5.4 million for the same period in
2014 because there were no oil sales in 2015. The average depletion rate for the three
months ended June 30, 2014, was $44.23/Bbl.
In April 2015, the Company completed P&A activities for well Oyo-6 that was previously
shut-in. Actual P&A expenditures exceeded estimated P&A liabilities by $3.5 million.
Accordingly, the Company recognized a $3.5 million loss on settlement of its asset
retirement obligations during the three months ended June 30, 2015. No P&A activity
occurred during the same period in 2014.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $5.4
million, as compared to $4.3 million in 2014. The increase in 2015 is primarily due to
certain severance costs recognized in May 2015.
Other Income (Expense)

 Other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $3.7 million, consisting of
 $4.2 million in interest expense on borrowings, net of $1.0 million capitalized interest,
 partially offset by $0.6 million gain on foreign currency transactions. Other expense for
 the same period in 2014 was $0.7 million, primarily for interest accrued on the related
 party note payable, net of $0.2 million capitalized interest.
Income Taxes
Income taxes were nil for each of the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The
Company did not have any taxable income from its oil and gas activities in Nigeria in these
respective periods.
Six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to six months ended June 30, 2014
Revenues
Revenue is recognized when a lifting (sale) occurs. Crude oil revenues for the six months
ended June 30, 2015, were nil, as compared to $34.8 million for the same period in 2014.
The two previously producing wells Oyo-5 and Oyo-6 have been shut-in since September
2014 as part of the Oyo field redevelopment campaign. Production resumed in the second
quarter of 2015 with the horizontal completion of wells Oyo-7 and Oyo-8. The Company
had no oil sales during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company sold approximately 397,000 net
barrels of oil at an average price of $105.80/Bbl.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the average net daily production
from the Oyo field, over the number of days that production occurred, was approximately
6,700 and 1,600 BOPD, respectively.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Production costs for the six months ended June 30, 2015, were $15.7 million, as compared
to $38.4 million for the same period in 2014. In June 2015, the operator of the FPSO agreed
to a price reduction for the operating day rates incurred by the Company for the period
from July 2014 to April 2015. This resulted in a $26.0 million reduction in production costs
recognized in June 2015, partially offset by higher charges for the FPSO in relation to
certain scheduled repairs.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company spent $0.6 million to repair a
control module associated with its well Oyo-4 that is currently operating as a gas injection
well. The expenditure was recorded as a workover expense. There were no workover
expenses incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company incurred $8.0 million of
exploration expenses, including $5.4 million spent onshore Kenya primarily for the 2-D
seismic acquisition and interpretation. In addition, $0.7 million was spent offshore Kenya,
$0.7 million in The Gambia, $0.3 million in Nigeria, and $0.9 million in Ghana for
exploration activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company incurred
$2.7 million of exploration expenses, including $0.6 million spent onshore Kenya, $1.5
million spent offshore Kenya, and $0.6 million spent in The Gambia.
DD&A expenses, including asset retirement obligation accretion, for the six months ended
June 30, 2015, were $1.1 million, as compared to $11.0 million for the same period in 2014.
In the six months ended June 30, 2015, oilfield depletion expenses were nil, compared to
$9.8 million for the comparable period in 2014 because there were no oil sales in 2015. The
average depletion rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014, was $34.49/Bbl.
In April 2015, the Company completed P&A activities for well Oyo-6 that was previously
shut-in. Actual P&A expenditures exceeded estimated P&A liabilities by $3.5 million.
Accordingly, the Company recognized a $3.5 million loss on settlement of its asset
retirement obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2015. No P&A activity
occurred during the same period in 2014.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were $8.9
million, as compared to $8.8 million in 2014. Higher severance costs recorded in the six
months ended June 30, 2015 were partially offset by lower legal and professional services
costs incurred in 2015 as compared to 2014 in conjunction with the 2014 Allied
Transaction.
Other Income (Expense)
Other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015, was $4.8 million, consisting of $6.8
million in interest expense on borrowings, net of $2.2 million capitalized interest, partially
offset by a $2.0 million gain on foreign currency transactions. Other expense for the same
period in 2014 was $0.8 million, primarily for interest accrued on the related party note
payable, net of $0.2 million capitalized interest,
Income Taxes
Income taxes were nil for each of the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The
Company did not have any taxable income from its oil and gas activities in Nigeria in these
respective periods.
Headline Earnings
In addition to the Company’s primary listing on the New York Stock Exchange, the
Company’s common stock is also traded on the JSE. The JSE requires for the Company to file
certain documents that it files with the SEC. 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 certain
 separately identifiable re-measurements, 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, there were no
 separate identifiable re-measurements required and headline earnings was the same as
 net loss per share as disclosed on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
 Therefore, HEPS for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, were $(0.04) and
 $(0.06), respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, were $(0.20)
 and $(0.17), respectively.
Liquidity
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities increased by $2.6 million because of $35.0 million positive
changes in working capital, primarily from vendor financing, offset the $15.9 million higher
losses from operations, the $16.4 million paid in relation to the P&A activities for well Oyo-
6, as well as the $5.2 million lower non-cash adjustments to net income.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015, consists of a
$56.7 million addition to property, plant and equipment primarily for the ongoing Oyo field
redevelopment campaign in the OMLs. The cash used in investing activities for the six
months ended June 30, 2014 included $170.0 million paid to Allied as partial consideration
for the acquisition of the remaining economic interest in the OMLs and $22.2 million
addition to property, plant, and equipment.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities of $60.0 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2015, consisted of $1.9 million proceeds from the issuance of common stock
arising from warrant and option exercises, $44.0 million borrowings under the 2015
Convertible Note, $13.8 million borrowings under the Promissory Note, and $0.4 million
funding received from a related party owning a non-controlling interest in the Company's
Ghana subsidiary.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014, consisted
of $270.0 million investment from the sale of equity, $0.4 million proceeds from the
issuance of stock pursuant to employee stock option exercises, and $0.7 million additional
borrowings under the Promissory Note, partially offset by a $13.9 million adjustment
pursuant to the acquisition of certain assets from Allied.
Capital Resources
The Company’s primary cash requirements are for capital expenditures for the
redevelopment of the Oyo field in Nigeria, operating expenditures, exploration activities in
our unevaluated leaseholds, working capital needs, and interest and principal payments
under current indebtedness.
Crude oil production is a primary source of operating cash for the Company. The Company
commenced production from the Oyo-8 well in early May 2015 and from the Oyo-7 well in
mid-June 2015. After a period of retooling and optimization, the current combined
production rate from the two wells is approximately 13,100 barrels of oil per day ("BOPD")
(approximately 11,500
BOPD net to the Company after royalty). In July 2015, the Company lifted and sold
approximately 312,000 Bbls of crude oil (274,000 Bbls net to the Company) at a price of
$55.78/Bbls. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately $15.3 million. Further, the
Company expects to sell approximately 650,000 Bbls of crude oil in August 2015 (572,000
Bbls net to the Company). If actual production rates decline substantially below anticipated
rates, or if oil prices decline significantly from current levels, the Company may need to
seek additional sources of capital.
In March 2015, the Company entered into a borrowing facility with Allied for a Convertible
Note (the "2015 Convertible Note"), separate from the existing $25.0 million Promissory
Note and the $50.0 million Convertible Subordinated Note, allowing the Company to
borrow up to $50.0 million for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2015, the
Company owed $44.0 million under the 2015 Convertible Note. Subsequent to June 30,
2015, the Company borrowed additional funds totaling $4.0 million under the note. See
Note 7 - Debt to the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information.
In May 2015, the Company executed a term sheet for a commodity-based Full Recourse
Prepayment Facility (the “Prepayment Facility”) with Glencore Energy UK Ltd. The
Prepayment Facility, which is subject to completion of legal documentation and certain
conditions precedent, would provide proceeds in two tranches. The initial tranche, a term
prepayment facility, would be available to the Company in drawdowns totaling up to $50.0
million towards the Oyo field redevelopment program, and would depend on the
Company’s ability to meet certain production targets. The second tranche consists of an
inventory revolving facility up to a total of $100.0 million. The Company expects the
Prepayment Facility to be finalized during the third quarter of 2015.
In July 2015, the Company received $13.0 million as an advance under a stand-alone sales
spot contract with Glencore Energy UK Ltd. (the “July Advance”). Interest accrued on the
July Advance at the rate of LIBOR plus 6.5%. Repayment of the July Advance was made
from the July crude oil lifting.
In August 2015, the Company received $26.5 million as an advance under a stand-alone
sales spot contract with Glencore Energy UK Ltd. (the “August Advance”). Interest accrues
on the August Advance at the rate of LIBOR plus 6.5%. Repayment of the August Advance
will be made from the August crude oil lifting.
The Company’s majority shareholder has formally committed to provide the Company with
additional funding, the form of which would be determined at the time of funding, sufficient
to maintain the Company’s operations and to allow the Company to meet its current and
future obligations as they become due for one year from March 12, 2015, the date of said
commitment.
Although there are no assurances that the Company’s plans will be realized, 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
From time-to-time, we may enter into arrangements that can give rise to off-balance sheet
obligations. As of June 30, 2015, material off-balance sheet obligations include operating
leases for the FPSO and certain employment contracts. Other than the material off-balance
sheet arrangements discussed above, no other arrangements are likely to have a current or
future material effect on our financial condition, results from operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Exchange Act. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, in this report,
including, without limitation, statements regarding our future financial position, business
strategy, budgets, projected revenues, projected costs and plans and objectives of
management for future 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 historical earnings and those
presently anticipated or projected or any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements contained in this report.
In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-
looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,”
“forecast,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,”
“should,” “will,” “will likely,” or similar expressions. Although we believe that the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no
assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. We caution you not to
place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the
date made.
Important factors that could affect our financial performance and that could cause actual
results for future periods to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not
limited to:
the supply, demand and market prices of oil and natural gas;


our current and future indebtedness;

our ability to raise capital to fund our current and future operations;

our ability to develop oil and gas reserves;

competition from other companies in the energy market;

political instability and foreign government regulations over
international operations;

our lack of diversification of production and reserves;
compliance and enforcement of environmental laws and regulations;

our ability to achieve profitability;

our dependency on third parties to enable us to produce and deliver oil
and gas; and

other factors disclosed under Item 1. Description of Business, Item 1A. Risk Factors, Item 2.
Properties, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and elsewhere in
this report.

We have based our forward-looking statements on our management’s beliefs and
assumptions based on information available to our management at the time the statements
are made. We caution you that assumptions, beliefs, expectations, intentions and
projections about future events may and often do vary materially from actual results.
Therefore, we cannot assure you that actual results will not differ materially from those
expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements.
For a detailed description of these and other factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement, please see “Risk
Factors” in Item 1A of Part II of this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2014. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary
materially from those indicated. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking
statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in
their entirety by reference to these risks and uncertainties. You should not place undue
reliance on our forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only
as of the date of the particular statement, and, except as required by law, we undertake no
duty to update or revise any forward-looking statement.
ITEM 3. 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

  Our results of operations and financial conditions are affected by currency exchange
  rates. While oil sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, portions of our capital and
  operating costs in Nigeria are denominated in Naira, the Nigerian local currency.
  Similarly, portions of our exploration costs in Kenya, The Gambia, and Ghana are
  denominated in each country’s respective local currency. Historically, the exchange rate
  between the U.S. dollar and the local currencies in the countries in which we operate has
  fluctuated widely in response to international political conditions, general economic
  conditions, and other factors beyond our control.
 The weighted average exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Nigerian Naira was
 196.45 Naira per each U.S. dollar for the six months ended June 30, 2015. For the six
 months ended June 30, 2015, a 10% fluctuation in the weighted average exchange rate
 between the U.S. dollar and the Nigerian Naira would have had an approximate $1.1
 million impact on our capital and operating costs in Nigeria.

 To date, we have not engaged in hedging activities to hedge our foreign currency
 exposure in our foreign operations. In the future, we may enter into hedging instruments
 to manage our 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. Prices received for oil production have been
 volatile and unpredictable, and such volatility is expected to continue.

 Historically, realized commodity prices received for our crude oil sales have been tied to
 the Brent oil prices. Prices received have been volatile and unpredictable. As there were
 no crude oil sales made during the six months ended June 30, 2015, we were not affected
 by price fluctuations.

 We do not currently engage in hedging activities to hedge our exposure to commodity
 price risks. In the future, we may enter into hedging instruments to manage our exposure
 to fluctuations in commodity prices.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to changes in interest rates, primarily from possible fluctuations in the
London Interbank Borrowing Rate (“LIBOR”). The interest rates on our debt obligations are
stated at floating rates tied to the LIBOR. Currently, we do not use interest rate derivative
instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. For the six months ended
June 30, 2015, the weighted average interest rate on our variable rate debt was 15.9%.
Assuming our current level of borrowings, a 100 basis point increase in the interest rates
we pay under our various debt facilities would result in an increase of our interest expense
by $2.2 million over a twelve month period.
ITEM 4. 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 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 and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
  Management of the Company, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and
  Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls
  and procedures as of June 30, 2015. Based on their evaluation, as of the end of the period
  covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
  Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the
period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The disclosures required in this Item 1 are included in Note 9 - Commitments and
Contingencies in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in
Part I, Financial Information, Item 1, Financial Statements and incorporated herein by
reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have not been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I,
Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015 for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
In September 2014, the Company entered into a consulting agreement (the” Agreement”)
with a consultant, pursuant to which the consultant has agreed to represent the Company
for a term of one-year in investors’ communications and public relations with existing and
prospective shareholders, brokers, dealers and other investment professionals with
respect to the Company’s current and proposed activities, and to consult with the
Company’s management concerning such activities.

  As partial consideration under the Agreement, as amended in March 2015, the Company
  agreed to issue an aggregate of 52,083 shares of the Company’s common stock to the
  consultant. The Company issued the above shares in reliance on an exemption from
  registration of the shares provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
  amended (the “Securities Act”), as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public
  offering.
In March 2015, the Company entered into a borrowing facility with Allied for the 2015
Convertible Note, allowing the Company to borrow up to $50.0 million for general
corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has drawn $44.0 million under the
note and issued to Allied warrants to purchase approximately 2.4 million shares of the
Company’s common stock at prices ranging from $2.46 to $7.85 per share. For further
information, see Note 7 - Debt to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

1. I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Erin Energy
   Corporation;
2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
