Note 1. Nature of Business and Going Concern |
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on May 3, 1989, as Sparta Ventures Corp. and remained inactive until June 27, 1998. After several name changes, the Company merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary, SinoCubate, Inc., which remained the surviving entity of the merger. SinoCubate, Inc. was formed in the State of Nevada on September 11, 2008. The merger resulted in a change of name of the Company from Synthenol Inc. to SinoCubate, Inc., and a change in the state of incorporation of the Company from Florida to Nevada. On June 13, 2012, the Company changed its name to Viking Investments Group, Inc., and the Company's ticker symbol was changed to "VKIN."
The Company's business plan relative to providing professional advisory and consulting services is to help companies undergoing or anticipating periods of rapid growth, significant change or ownership transition, and when justified, staffing, financing, and/or providing operational support to such companies. Target companies must have superior management, intimate knowledge of their particular industry and a sound business plan, along with a desire and receptiveness for specific expertise to advance the company's business objectives. Viking's primary focus is directed toward North America, targeting various industries. Viking targets under-valued businesses with realistic appreciation potential and a defined exit strategy.
The Company's business plan as pertains to the oil and gas industry is to explore and develop oil and gas properties through collaborative partnerships with other companies in this field of endeavor. In November of 2014, the Company entered its first contract of this kind as explained in Note 4.
Viking Investments is neither an underwriter as the term is defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, nor an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940. Viking Investments is not an investment adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Viking Investments is not registered with FINRA or SIPC.
These consolidated financial statements 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 had a net loss of $406,211 and $320,895 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company had a working capital deficiency in the amount of $594,835 as of June 30, 2015. The Company has accumulated a shareholders' deficiency of $100,395 as of June 30, 2015. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances; 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. |
