EXPLANATORY NOTE - RESTATEMENT OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL INFORMATION PERTAINING TO DEEMED DIVIDENDS
This Amendment No. 1 to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amendment”) amends the quarterly report of Viking Energy Group, Inc. (the “Company”) for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 15, 2021 (the “Original 10-Q”), to restate the financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
On August 31, 2020, the Company filed an amended Certificate of Designation (the “August Amendment”) regarding the rights associated with Viking’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) in connection with an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “2020 Merger Agreement”) in effect at the time between the Company and Camber Energy, Inc. (“Camber”). The August Amendment modified the conversion and voting entitlements associated with the Preferred Shares in anticipation of a full combination between Viking and Camber.
The modification of preferred stock rights that includes adding a substantive conversion option requires the modification to be treated as a redemption of the preferred shares and any difference between the fair value of the modified preferred shares and the carrying amount of the preferred shares be subtracted (or added) to net income to arrive at income available to common shareholders in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10-S99-2. Consequently, we have recognized a deemed dividend in determining net income or loss attributable to common shareholders as reported in the Statement of Operations and utilized in computing earnings or loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The deemed dividend has no impact on the Company’s (i) balance sheet, (ii) reported revenues and expenses, and (iii) statement of cash flows.
The Company is amending the Original 10-Q to recognize the fair value of the deemed dividend in the amount of $14,546,677 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020; such deemed dividend had not been previously recognized. This restatement has no impact on financial position and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Except as described above and in note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and in “Item 4. Controls and Procedures,” no other information included in the Original 10-Q is being amended or updated by this Amendment, and this Amendment does not purport to reflect any information or events subsequent to the Original 10-Q. This Amendment continues to describe the conditions as of the date of the Original 10-Q, and, except as expressly described herein, the Company has not updated, modified or supplemented the disclosures contained in the Original 10-Q. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original 10-Q, the 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2020, and with the Company’s filings with the SEC subsequent to the Original 10-Q.

The Merger Agreement can be terminated (i) at any time with the mutual consent of the parties; (ii) by either Camber or Company if any governmental consent or approval required for closing is not obtained, or any governmental entity issues a final non-appealable order or similar decree preventing the Merger; (iii) by either Company or Camber if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before August 1, 2021; (iv) by Camber or Company, upon the breach by the other of a term of the Merger, which is not cured within 30 days of the date of written notice thereof by the other; (v) by Camber if Company is unable to obtain the affirmative vote of its stockholders for approval of the Merger; (vi) by Company if Camber is unable to obtain the affirmative vote of its stockholders required pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement; and (vii) by Company or Camber if there is a willful breach of the Merger Agreement by the other party thereto.

Note 2. Company Overview and Operations
Viking Energy Group, Inc. and subsidiaries is an energy company,
The following overview provides a background related to various operations and acquisition efforts over the last several years:
Oil & Gas Acquisitions
On December 22, 2017,
As a part of this acquisition, the Company retained an operational office and staff in Houston, Texas, which provided the Company the capability of operating many of its own wells internally. This expertise has since been utilized to evaluate potential oil and gas acquisitions, evaluate the management of the Company’s oil and gas assets, and evaluate possible drilling prospects.
On May 10, 2019,
Viking’s petroleum operations are focused on the acquisition and development of oil and natural gas properties in the Gulf Coast and Mid-Continent regions of the United States, with the Company’s petroleum-focused subsidiaries owning oil and gas leases in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Kansas.

ESG Clean Energy License
On August 18, 2021, the Company entered into a license agreement with ESG, a Delaware limited liability company, pursuant to which the Company received (i) an exclusive license to ESG Clean Energy’s patent rights and know-how related to stationary electric power generation (not in connection with vehicles), including methods to utilize heat and capture carbon dioxide in Canada, and (ii) a non-exclusive license to the Intellectual Property in up to 25 sites in the United States that are operated by the Company or its affiliates. See Note 5 for further information regarding this license agreement.
The Company intends to sell, lease, and sub-license the intellectual property to third parties using, among others, Simson-Maxwell’s existing distribution channels, and the Company may also utilize the ESG Clean Energy System for its own account, whether in connection with its petroleum operations, Simson-Maxwell’s power generation operations, or otherwise.
Note 3. Going Concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company generated a net loss of $
As of September 30, 2021, the Company has a stockholders’ deficit of $
As described in Note 2, in October 2021 the Company transferred its interest in each of Ichor Energy Holdings and Elysium Energy Holdings to third parties. As a result, the Company no longer has the assets and liabilities (including debt and derivatives mentioned in the above paragraph) within such entities.
Further, oil and gas price volatility and the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic have already had and may continue to have a negative impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Negative impacts could include but are not limited to: the Company’s ability to sell its products and services, reduction in the selling price of the Company’s products and services, possible disruption of production as a result of worker illness or mandated production shutdowns, the Company’s ability to maintain compliance with loan covenants and/or refinance existing indebtedness, and access to new capital and financing.

Management believes it will be able to leverage the expertise and relationships of its operational and technical teams to enhance existing assets and identify new development and acquisition opportunities in order to improve operations.
Nonetheless, these conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to utilize the resources in place to generate future profitable operations, to develop additional acquisition opportunities, and to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from business operations when they come due. Management believes the Company may be able to continue to develop new opportunities and may be able to obtain additional funds through debt and / or equity financings to facilitate its business strategy; however, there is no assurance of additional funding being available. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company have to curtail operations or be unable to continue in existence.
Note 4. Restatement of previously issued financial statements
On August 31, 2020, the Company filed an amended Certificate of Designation (the “August Amendment”) regarding the rights associated with Viking’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) in connection with an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “2020 Merger Agreement”) in effect at the time between the Company and Camber Energy, Inc. (“Camber”).
The modification of preferred stock rights that includes adding a substantive conversion option requires the modification to be treated as a redemption of the preferred shares and any difference between the fair value of the modified preferred shares and the carrying amount of the preferred shares be subtracted (or added) to net income to arrive at income available to common shareholders in accordance with ASC 260-10-S99-2. Consequently, the Company has recognized a deemed dividend in determining net income or loss attributable to common shareholders as reported in the Statement of Operations and utilized in computing earnings or loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The recognition of the deemed dividend had no impact on the Company’s (i) balance sheet, (ii) reported revenues and expenses, and (iii) statement of cash flows.
The Company is restating the Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 to recognize the fair value of the deemed dividend in the amount of $

Note 5. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and the interim reporting rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Viking’s latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments (unless otherwise indicated), necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
b) Basis of Consolidation
The financial statements presented herein reflect the consolidated financial results of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Mid-Con Petroleum, LLC, Mid-Con Drilling, LLC, and Mid-Con Development, LLC, which were all formed to provide a base of operations for properties in the Central United States, and Petrodome Energy, LLC, Ichor Holdings, LLC, Ichor Energy, LLC, Ichor Energy (TX), LLC, and Ichor Energy (LA), LLC., Elysium Energy Holdings, LLC, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Elysium Energy, LLC, Elysium Energy TX, LLC, Elysium Energy LA, LLC, Pointe A La Hache, L.L.C., Potash, L.L.C., Ramos Field, L.L.C., and Turtle Bayou, L.L.C., all based in Houston, Texas which provides a base of operations to facilitate property acquisitions in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
c) Foreign Currency
Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Results of operations and cash flows of businesses conducted in foreign currency are translated using the average exchange rates throughout the period. The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on translation of assets and liabilities is included as a component of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions have been insignificant.

d) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and timing of revenues and expenses, the reported amounts and classification of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to impairment of long-lived assets, fair value of commodity derivatives, stock-based compensation, asset retirement obligations, and the determination of expected tax rates for future income tax recoveries.
The estimates of proved, probable and possible oil and gas reserves are used as significant inputs in determining the depletion of oil and gas properties and the impairment of proved and unproved oil and gas properties. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved, probable and possible reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Similarly, evaluations for impairment of proved and unproved oil and gas properties are subject to numerous uncertainties including, among others, estimates of future recoverable reserves and commodity price outlooks. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions utilized.
e) Financial Instruments
The Company discloses the fair value of its financial instruments under a three-level valuation hierarchy. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for deposits, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, accounts payable, derivative liabilities, amount due to director, and convertible notes each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
| • | Level 1: inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| • | Level 2: inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
| • | Level 3: inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of September 30, 2021 are classified below based on the three fair value hierarchy described above:

| Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) |

The Company has entered into certain commodity derivative instruments containing swaps and collars, which management believes are effective in mitigating commodity price risk associated with a portion of its future monthly natural gas and crude oil production and related cash flows. The Company does not designate its commodities derivative instruments as hedges and therefore does not apply hedge accounting. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments subsequent to the initial measurement are recorded as change in fair value on derivative liability, in other income (expense). The estimated fair value amounts of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments have been determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information which resulted in the Company classifying such derivatives as Level 2. Although the Company’s commodity derivative instruments are valued using public indices, as well as the Black-Sholes model, the instruments themselves are traded with unrelated counterparties and are not openly traded on an exchange.
In a commodities swap agreement, the Company trades the fluctuating market prices of oil or natural gas at specific delivery points over a specified period, for fixed prices. As a producer of oil and natural gas, the Company holds these commodity derivatives to protect the operating revenues and cash flows related to a portion of its future natural gas and crude oil sales from the risk of significant declines in commodity prices, which helps reduce exposure to price risk and improves the likelihood of funding its capital budget. If the price of a commodity rises above what the Company has agreed to receive in the swap agreement, the amount that it agreed to pay the counterparty is expected to be offset by the increased amount it received for its production.
The Company has also entered into collar agreements related to oil and gas production with established floors and ceilings. Upon settlement, if the current market price of the commodity is below the floor, the Company receives the difference. Conversely, if the current market price of the commodity is above the ceiling at settlement, the Company pays the excess over the ceiling price.

Pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement to which Elysium Energy, LLC and its subsidiaries are parties, all receipts are to be deposited to a lockbox account under the control of the administrative agent, and then subsequently transferred for operations to the company’s bank accounts, all of which are subject to deposit account control agreements. The aggregate amount of unencumbered cash held in any Operating Account is not to be less than $2,500,000 for the period commencing June 30, 2021 through and including the Maturity Date. Commencing with the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the company is required to make mandatory prepayments of principal equal to 75% of Excess Cash Flow as defined in the agreement.
g) Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable consist of oil and gas receivables. The Company evaluates these accounts receivable for collectability and, when necessary, records allowances for expected unrecoverable amounts. The Company has recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $
h) Prepaid expenses
Prepaid expenses represent amounts paid in advance through the issuance of restricted shares of stock for future contractual benefits to be received. These advances are amortized over the life of the contract using the straight-line method.
i) Oil and Gas Properties
The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for its investment in oil and natural gas properties. Under this method of accounting, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs, are capitalized. General and administrative costs related to production and general overhead are expensed as incurred.
All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized on the unit of production method using estimates of proved reserves. Disposition of oil and gas properties are accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in operations. Unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is included in loss from operations before income taxes.
j) Limitation on Capitalized Costs
Under the full-cost method of accounting, we are required, at the end of each reporting date, to perform a test to determine the limit on the book value of our oil and natural gas properties (the “Ceiling” test). If the capitalized costs of our oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated amortization and related deferred income taxes, exceed the Ceiling, this excess or impairment is charged to expense. The expense may not be reversed in future periods, even though higher oil and natural gas prices may subsequently increase the Ceiling. The Ceiling is defined as the sum of:
(a) the present value, discounted at 10 percent, and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions, of 1) estimated future gross revenues from proved reserves, which is computed using oil and natural gas prices determined as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month hedging arrangements pursuant to SAB 103, less 2) estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves, plus

(c) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized, net of
(d) the related tax effects related to the difference between the book and tax basis of our oil and natural gas properties.
k) Oil and Gas Reserves
Reserve engineering is a subjective process that is dependent upon the quality of available data and the interpretation thereof, including evaluations and extrapolations of well flow rates and reservoir pressure. Estimates by different engineers often vary sometimes significantly. In addition, physical factors such as the results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of an estimate, as well as economic factors such as changes in product prices, may justify revision of such estimates. Because proved reserves are required to be estimated using recent prices of the evaluation, estimated reserve quantities can be significantly impacted by changes in product prices.
l) Investment in Unconsolidated Entity
The Company accounts for its investment in unconsolidated entities under the equity method of accounting when it (

m) Intangible assets
Intangible assets represent amounts capitalized for the Company’s license agreement with ESG Clean Energy, LLC as described in Notes 2 and 5. This asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the related patents being licensed, which is approximately 16 years.
The Company reviews these intangible assets for possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances that the assets carrying amount may not be recoverable. In evaluating the future benefit of its intangible assets, the Company estimates the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows of the intangible assets over the remaining estimated useful life. If the carrying amount is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded for the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value.
n) Income (loss) per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and adjusted by any effects of warrants and options outstanding during the period, if dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 there were approximately
o) Revenue Recognition
Sales of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids (NGLs) are included in revenue when production is sold to a customer in fulfillment of performance obligations under the terms of agreed contracts. Performance obligations primarily comprise delivery of oil, gas, or NGLs at a delivery point, as negotiated within each contract. Each barrel of oil, million BTU (MMBtu) of natural gas, or other unit of measure is separately identifiable and represents a distinct performance obligation to which the transaction price is allocated. Performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time once control of the product has been transferred to the customer. The Company considers a variety of facts and circumstances in assessing the point of control transfer, including but not limited to: whether the purchaser can direct the use of the hydrocarbons, the transfer of significant risks and rewards, the Company’s right to payment, and transfer of legal title. In each case, the time between delivery and when payments are due is not significant.

p) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the consolidated financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities by using estimated tax rates for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities to the extent that we believe that these assets and/or liabilities are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If we determine that the Company would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
In assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets, management evaluated whether it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of its deferred tax assets, will be realized. The realization of its deferred tax assets relates directly to the Company’s ability to generate taxable income. The valuation allowance is then adjusted accordingly.

q) Stock-Based Compensation
The Company may issue stock options to employees and stock options or warrants to non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The cost of stock options and warrants issued to employees and non-employees is measured on the grant date based on the fair value. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period.
The fair value of stock options and warrants is determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option model requires management to make various estimates and assumptions, including expected term, expected volatility, risk-free rate, and dividend yield. The expected term represents the period of time that stock-based compensation awards granted are expected to be outstanding and is estimated based on considerations including the vesting period, contractual term and anticipated employee exercise patterns. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in relation to the contractual life of stock-based compensation instrument. The dividend yield assumption is based on historical patterns and future expectations for the Company dividends.

r) Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company is required to review its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally determined by using the asset's expected future discounted cash flows or market value. The Company estimates fair value of the assets based on certain assumptions such as budgets, internal projections, and other available information as considered necessary. There is no impairment of long-lived assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
s) Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
Asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) primarily represent the estimated present value of the amount the Company will incur to plug, abandon and remediate its producing properties at the projected end of their productive lives, in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws. The Company determined its ARO by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to the obligation. The retirement obligation is recorded as a liability at its estimated present value as of the obligation’s inception, with an offsetting increase to proved properties.
The following table describes the changes in the Company’s asset retirement obligations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021:
