 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.

VIKING ENERGY GROUP, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

  

Note 1. Relationship with and Ownership by Camber Energy, Inc.

 

On December 23, 2020 Camber Energy, Inc. (“Camber”) acquired a 51% interest in Viking Energy Group, Inc. (“Viking” or the “Company”). On January 8, 2021 and July 29, 2021, Camber acquired additional interests in the Company resulting in Camber owning approximately 62% of the outstanding common shares of the Company after the January transaction and approximately 73% of the outstanding common shares of the Company after the July transaction. As a result, since December 23, 2020 Viking has been a majority-owned subsidiary of Camber. The December 2020, January 2021 and July 2021 transactions, along with a new merger agreement executed by Viking and Camber in February 2021 are described further below. References below to the Company’s various debt arrangements are described further in Note 8.

 

December 23, 2020 Transaction

 

On December 23, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Camber, pursuant to which Camber acquired (“Camber’s Acquisition”) 26,274,510 shares of Viking common stock (“Camber’s Viking Shares”), constituting 51% of the common stock of Viking, in consideration of (i) Camber’s payment of $10,900,000 to Viking (the “Cash Purchase Price”), and (ii) cancelation of $9,200,000 in promissory notes issued by Viking to Camber (“Camber’s Viking Notes”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, if at any time between December 23, 2020 and July 2, 2022 Viking issues shares of its common stock to one or more persons such that Camber’s percentage ownership of Viking’s common stock is less than 51%, Viking is obligated to issue additional shares to Camber to ensure that Camber owns at least 51% of the common stock of Viking (the “Adjustment Entitlement”). The Adjustment Entitlement expires on July 1, 2022.

 

In connection with Camber’s Acquisition, the Company and Camber terminated their previous merger agreement, dated August 31, 2020, as amended, and Camber assigned its membership interests in one of Viking’s subsidiaries, Elysium Energy Holdings, LLC, back to Viking. Also in connection with Camber’s Acquisition, effective December 23, 2020, Camber (i) borrowed $12,000,000 from an institutional investor; (ii) issued the investor a promissory note in the principal amount of $12,000,000, accruing interest at the rate of 10% per annum and maturing December 11, 2022 (the “First Camber Investor Note”); (iii) granted the Investor a first-priority security interest in Camber’s Viking Shares and Camber’s other assets pursuant to a pledge agreement and a general security agreement, respectively; and (iv) entered into an amendment to Camber’s $6,000,000 promissory note previously issued to the investor dated December 11, 2020 (the “Second Camber Investor Note”), amending the acceleration provision of the note to provide that the note repayment obligations would also not accelerate if Camber has increased its authorized capital stock by March 11, 2021 (and Camber increased its authorized capital stock in February 2021 as required). In order to close Camber’s Acquisition, effective December 23, 2020, Viking entered into a Guaranty Agreement, guaranteeing repayment of the First Camber Investor Note and the Second Camber Investor Note.

 

On December 23, 2020, the First Camber Investor Note was funded, and Viking and Camber closed Camber’s Acquisition, with Camber paying the Cash Purchase Price to Viking and cancelling Camber’s Viking Notes, and Viking issuing Camber’s Viking Shares. At the closing, James Doris and Frank Barker, Jr., Viking’s CEO and CFO, were appointed the CEO and CFO of Camber, and Mr. Doris was appointed a member of the Board of Directors of Camber.

January 8, 2021 Transactions

 

On January 8, 2021, the Company entered into another purchase agreement with Camber pursuant to which Camber agreed to acquire an additional 16,153,846 shares of Company common stock (the “Shares”) in consideration of (i) Camber issuing 1,890 shares of Camber’s Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock to EMC Capital Partners, LLC (“EMC”), one of the Company’s lenders which held a secured promissory note issued by the Company to EMC in the original principal amount of $20,869,218 in connection with the purchase of oil and gas assets on or about February 3, 2020 (the “EMC Note”); and (ii) EMC considering the EMC Note paid in full and cancelled pursuant to the Cancellation Agreement described below. The fair value of the 1,890 shares of Camber’s Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock was determined to be $19,622,000 at the date of the transaction; as a result, the Company recognized a loss on debt settlement in the amount of $926,531.

 

Simultaneously, on January 8, 2021, the Company entered into a Cancellation Agreement with EMC (the “Cancellation Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay $325,000 to EMC, and EMC agreed to cancel and terminate in the EMC Note and all other liabilities, claims, amounts owing and other obligations under the Note. At the same time, Camber entered into a purchase agreement with EMC pursuant to which (i) Camber agreed to issue 1,890 shares of Camber’s Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock to EMC, and (ii) EMC agreed to enter into the Cancellation Agreement with the Company to cancel the EMC Note.

 

February 2021 Merger Agreement with Camber

 

On February 15, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Camber. The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Camber (“Merger Sub”) will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Camber.

 

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share: (i) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Viking Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than shares owned by Camber, the Company and Merger Sub, will be converted into the right to receive one share of common stock of Camber; and (ii) of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Viking Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Camber (the “Camber Series A Preferred Stock”). Each share of Camber Series A Preferred Stock will convert into 890 shares of common stock of Camber (subject to a beneficial ownership limitation preventing conversion into Camber common stock if the holder would be deemed to beneficially own more than 9.99% of Camber’s common stock), will be treated equally with Camber’s common stock with respect to dividends and liquidation, and will only have voting rights with respect to voting: (a) on a proposal to increase or reduce Camber’s share capital; (b) on a resolution to approve the terms of a buy-back agreement; (c) on a proposal to wind up Camber; (d) on a proposal for the disposal of all or substantially all of Camber’s property, business and undertaking; (f) during the winding-up of Camber; and/or (g) with respect to a proposed merger or consolidation in which Camber is a party or a subsidiary of Camber is a party. Holders of Viking common stock and Viking Preferred Stock will have any fractional shares of Camber common stock or preferred stock after the Merger rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Table of Contents

 

At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company equity award, will be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration in respect of each share of Viking common stock underlying such equity award and, in the case of Company stock options, be converted into vested Camber stock options based on the merger exchange ratio calculated as provided above (the “Exchange Ratio”).

 

The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that effective as of the Effective Time, James A. Doris, the current Chief Executive Officer of both the Company and Camber, shall serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Combined Company following the Effective Time. The Merger Agreement provides that, as of the Effective Time, the Combined Company will have its headquarters in Houston, Texas.

 

The Merger Agreement also provides that, during the period from the date of the Merger Agreement until the Effective Time, each of Camber and Company will be subject to certain restrictions on its ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties, to provide non-public information to third parties and to engage in discussions with third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals, subject to customary exceptions. Company is required to hold a meeting of its stockholders to vote upon the adoption of the Merger Agreement and, subject to certain exceptions, to recommend that its stockholders vote to adopt the Merger Agreement. Camber is required to hold a meeting of its stockholders to approve the issuance of Viking Common Stock and Viking Preferred Stock in connection with the Merger (the “Share Issuance”).

 

The completion of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including (i) adoption of the Merger Agreement by Camber’s stockholders and approval of the Share Issuance by Camber’s stockholders, (ii) receipt of required regulatory approvals, (iii) effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 for the Camber common stock to be issued in the Merger (the “Form S-4”), and (iv) the absence of any law, order, injunction, decree or other legal restraint preventing the completion of the Merger or making the completion of the Merger illegal. Each party’s obligation to complete the Merger is also subject to certain additional customary conditions, including (i) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party, (ii) subject to certain exceptions, performance by the other party of its obligations under the Merger Agreement and (iii) the absence of any material adverse effect on the other party, as defined in the Merger Agreement.

 

Additional closing conditions to the Merger include that in the event the NYSE American determines that the Merger constitutes, or will constitute, a “back-door listing” / “reverse merger”, Camber (and its common stock) is required to qualify for initial listing on the NYSE American, pursuant to the applicable guidance and requirements of the NYSE as of the Effective Time.

 

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. The Merger Agreement contains customary indemnification obligations of the parties and representations and warranties.

Table of Contents

 

The Merger has not been completed. As of the date of filing this report, neither Viking or Camber has advised of its intention to terminate the Merger Agreement.

 

April 23, 2021 Transaction

 

On or about April 23, 2021, Camber (i) borrowed $2,500,000 from an institutional investor; (ii) issued the investor a promissory note in the principal amount of $2,500,000, accruing interest at the rate of 10% per annum and maturing December 11, 2022 (the “Third Camber Investor Note”); (iii) granted the Investor a first-priority security interest in Camber’s Viking Shares and Camber’s other assets pursuant to a pledge agreement and a general security agreement, respectively. Viking entered into a Guaranty Agreement, guaranteeing repayment of the Third Camber Investor Note.

 

July 9, 2021 Transaction:

 

Effective July 9, 2021, Camber and the institutional investor executed amendments to each of the First Camber Investor Note, the Second Camber Investor Note and the Third Camber Investor Note (collectively, the “Notes”), pursuant to which (i) the Maturity Date of each of the Notes was extended from December 11, 2022, to January 1, 2024; and (ii) the Investor is permitted to convert amounts owing under the Notes into shares of common stock of Camber at a fixed price of $1.25 per share, subject to beneficial ownership limitations.

 

July 29, 2021 Transaction:

 

On July 29, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Camber, pursuant to which Camber acquired an additional 27,500,00 shares of Viking common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $11,000,000. As a result, Camber’s ownership increased as of such date to approximately 73% of the issued and outstanding shares of Viking common stock.

 

Camber’s Series C Preferred Share Designation

 

The Certificate of Designation(s) (the “COD”) regarding Camber’s Series C Convertible Preferred Shares requires, among other things, Camber to: (i) timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission all reports required to pursuant to the Exchange Act (the “Reporting Requirement”); and (ii) maintain a sufficient share reserve with respect to the common shares to which the preferred shares may be converted (“Share Reserve Requirement”). Any breach under the COD is also a default under the Notes. Camber is not currently in compliance with the Reporting Requirement or the Share Reserve Requirement. The institutional investor has agreed not to claim against Camber for any breaches or defaults provided the Reporting Requirement and the Share Reserve Requirement are satisfied by November 19, 2021 and December 31, 2021, respectively. If Camber fails to satisfy such requirements Viking may be called upon to honor its obligations under the Guaranty and Security Agreements executed by Viking in favor of the institutional investor with respect to the Notes.

Note 2. Company Overview and Operations 

 

Viking Energy Group, Inc. and subsidiaries is an energy company, targeting opportunities in the power generation, clean energy and resource sectors. Through its 60.5 % majority-owned subsidiary, Simson-Maxwell Ltd. (“Simson-Maxwell”), the Company provides power generation products, services and custom energy solutions to commercial and industrial clients. Through other wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company is engaged in petroleum exploration and production and the sale of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. Additionally, the Company recently entered into a license agreement with ESG Clean Energy, LLC (“ESG”), to utilize ESG’s patent rights and know-how related to stationary electric power generation and heat and carbon dioxide capture (the “ESG Clean Energy System”). The Company intends to sell, lease, and sub-license the ESG Clean Energy System 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.

 

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, the Company completed an acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of Petrodome Energy, LLC (“Petrodome”), a privately-owned company, with working interests in multiple oil and gas fields across Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, comprising approximately 11,700 acres.

 

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, Petrodome Louisiana Pipeline LLC (“Petrodome LA”), a subsidiary of Petrodome, acquired a majority working interest in 6 gas wells (including 2 producing gas wells), 1 producing oil well and 1 salt water disposal well located in the East Mud Lake Field in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, with leases to mineral rights (oil and gas) concerning approximately 765 acres.

 

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.

 

Oil and Gas Acquisitions & Disposals

 

On December 28, 2018, the Company, through its newly formed Ichor Energy Holdings, LLC subsidiary (“Ichor Energy Holdings”), completed an acquisition of working interests in oil and gas leases in Texas (primarily in Orange and Jefferson Counties) and Louisiana (primarily in Calcasieu Parish), which included 58 producing wells and 31 salt water disposal wells. On October 5, 2021, the Company transferred all of the membership interests of Ichor Energy Holdings to a third party, and the third party assumed all of the rights and obligations associated with such membership interests, including the debt and derivatives associated with Ichor Energy Holdings and all of its entities. The consideration for the conveyance of the membership interests of Ichor Energy Holdings was the assumption by the third party of all of the rights and obligations associated with Ichor Energy Holdings and all of its entities. The assignment agreement contains a right of first refusal, and provides that if the third party receives an arms-length bona fide offer from any third party to purchase any of the membership interests in Holdings, such interests shall first be offered to the Company, who shall have the right, exercisable within thirty (30) calendar days, to elect to purchase such membership interests upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are contained in the offer.

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 $27,983,342 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to a net loss of $14,275,646 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was comprised of, among other things, certain non-cash items, including: (i) stock-based compensation of $470,598; (ii) accretion of asset retirement obligation of $438,225; (iii) depreciation, depletion & amortization of $6,844,553; (iv) amortization of debt discount of $3,406,654; (v) change in fair value of derivatives of $(16,401,270); and (vi) loss on financing settlements of $2,774,341.

 

As of September 30, 2021, the Company has a stockholders’ deficit of $8,115,975 and total long-term debt of $93,007,847. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has a working capital deficiency of approximately $60,000,000. The largest components of current liabilities creating this working capital deficiency are (i) notes payable with a face value aggregating approximately $4.7 million as of September 30, 2021 due in February of 2022; (ii) a revolving credit facility with a balance of $5,665,000 as of September 30, 2021 due in January of 2022; (iii) a derivative liability of $16,074,519; and (iv) Elysium Energy Holdings’ term loan agreement with a face value of approximately $30.7 million as of September 30, 2021, with a maturity date of August 3, 2022.

 

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 August Amendment modified the conversion and voting entitlements associated with the Preferred Shares in anticipation of a full combination between Viking and Camber. The voting entitlements were reduced from 37,500 votes per share to 4,900 votes per share, and the conversion entitlements were increased from 1 share of common for 1 share of preferred to 4,900 shares of common for 1 share of preferred, increasing the number of common shares issuable upon conversion from 28,092 to 137,650,800.  The conversion ratio was modified to give value to the holder in exchange for ceding voting control of Viking.

 

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 $14,546,677.

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.

Table of Contents

 

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:

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.

Table of Contents

 

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 $217,057 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

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 (i) owns less than 51% of a controlling interest in the entity or (ii) has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the entity. As described in Note 2, during August 2021 the Company acquired a 60.5% interest in Simson-Maxwell. Pursuant to a shareholder agreement in effect as of September 30, 2021, the Company did not have the ability to control the operating and financial policies of the entity as of such date, and as such has accounted for such ownership under the equity method of accounting. The investment is adjusted for its proportionate share of earnings or losses of the entity.

 

For the period from August 6, 2021 (the date acquired) through September 30, 2021 Simson-Maxwell had total revenues of approximately $3.5 million and net income of $78,961. The table below shows the changes in the Investment in Unconsolidated Entities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

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 48,182,727 common stock equivalents that were omitted from the calculation of diluted income per share as they were not dilutive

 

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:

Note 7. Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s intangible asset consists of costs associated with securing in August 2021 an Exclusive Intellectual Property License Agreement with ESG Clean Energy, LLC (“ESG”), pursuant to which the Company received (i) an exclusive license to ESG’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.

 

 
24

Table of Contents

 

In consideration of the licenses, the Company paid an up-front royalty of $1,500,000 and the Company is obligated to make additional royalty payments as follows: (i) an additional $1,500,000 on or before January 31, 2022, which may be paid in whole or in part in the form of Viking’s common stock based on the price of Viking’s common stock on August 18, 2021, at ESG’s election; (ii) an additional $2,000,000 on or before April 20, 2022, which may be paid in whole or in part in the form of Viking’s common stock based on the price of Viking’s common stock on August 18, 2021, at ESG’s election; and (iii) continuing royalties of not more than 15% of the net revenues of Viking generated using the intellectual property, with the continuing royalty percentage to be jointly determined by the parties collaboratively based on the parties’ development of realistic cashflow models resulting from initial projects utilizing the intellectual property, and with the parties utilizing mediation if they cannot jointly agree to the continuing royalty percentage.

 

Viking’s exclusivity with respect to Canada shall terminate if minimum continuing royalty payments to ESG are not at least equal to the following minimum payments based on the date that ESG first begins capturing carbon dioxide and selling for commercial purposes one or more commodities from a system installed and operated by ESG using the Intellectual Property (the “Trigger Date”):

Note 9. Equity

 

(a) Preferred Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), of which 50,000 have been designated as Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). As of September 30, 2021 there were 28,092 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Pursuant to the amended Certification of Designation of the Series C Preferred Stock filed on December 22, 2020, each share of Series C Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to 4,167 votes on all matters submitted to the vote of the stockholders of the Company. Notwithstanding, so long as Camber Energy, Inc. owns or is entitled to own at least 51% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company and James Doris remains a director and Chief Executive Officer of Camber, each share of Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any votes on matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for such stock, into 4,167 shares of fully paid and non-assessable common stock. However, upon any business combination or merger between Camber and Viking such that Camber acquires substantially all of the outstanding common stock or substantially all of Viking’s assets, the Company shall ensure that the Preferred Stock is convertible into the greater of:(i) 25,000,000 common shares of Camber (or a number of preferred shares of Camber convertible into such number of common shares of Camber); or (ii) that number of common shares of Camber that 25,000,000 shares of common stock would be convertible or exchange into in the Combination (or a number of preferred shares of Camber convertible into such number of common shares of Camber).
