Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 Nature of Business and Going Concern 

Viking Energy Group, Inc. (“Viking” or the “Company”) is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas properties, both individually and through collaborative partnerships with other companies in this field of endeavor.  Since the beginning of 2019, the Company has had the following related activities:

· On May 1, 2019, the Company’s subsidiary, Mid-Con Development, LLC sold all of its interests in the oil and gas assets Mid-Con Development, LLC owned in Ellis and Rooks Counties, Kansas, consisting of working interests in approximately 41 oil leases comprising several thousand acres.

· On May 10, 2019, Petrodome Louisiana Pipeline LLC ("Petrodome LA"), a subsidiary of the Company’s subsidiary, Petrodome Energy, LLC, 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.

· On February 3, 2020, Elysium Energy, LLC (“Elysium”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Viking’s majority-owned subsidiary, Elysium Energy Holdings, LLC (“Elysium Holdings”), acquired interests in certain oil and gas properties located in Texas and Louisiana. The assets purchased included leases, working interests, and over-riding royalty interests in oil and gas properties in Texas (approximately 72 wells) and Louisiana (approximately 55 wells), along with associated equipment. On February 4, 2020, Elysium hedged 75% of the estimated oil and gas production associated with the newly acquired assets for 2020, 60% of the estimated production for 2021 and 50% of the estimated production for the period between January 2022 to July 2022. Theses hedges have a floor of $45 and a ceiling ranging from $52.70 to $56 for oil, and a floor of $2 and a ceiling of $2.425 for natural gas

These accompanying 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 generated a net loss of $15,458,598 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to a net loss of $9,220,005 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has a working capital deficiency of approximately $63,000,000. The largest components of current liabilities creating this deficiency are (a) notes payable with a face value aggregating approximately $6.4 million as of September 30, 2020 due in December of 2020, (b) a revolving credit facility with a balance of $6,790,000 as of September 30, 2020 due in May of 2021, (c) a note payable of approximately $15.6 million as of September 30, 2020 due in June of 2021, and (d) a term loan agreement with a face value of approximately $34.3 million as of September 30, 2020.

Management has evaluated these conditions and has developed a plan which, in part, address these obligations as follows:

· The acquisition of Petrodome Energy LLC in 2017 and the oil and gas expertise retained by Petrodome at the end of 2017 provided an internal lease operating company to efficiently evaluate development opportunities.

· The Ichor Energy Acquisition at the end of 2018 is believed to provide cash flow sufficient to not only satisfy the Company’s debt service associated with this acquisition, but to also fund a work over program to increase this purchased production beyond its current average daily production of 2,000 BOE and provide a quicker principal reduction, resulting in an increased equity position relative to these assets. Cash generated from the operation of these assets is restricted to lease operating expenses, the payment of debt service on the associated term loan, and distributions to Viking of $65,000 per month for general and administrative expenses, and a quarterly tax distribution at the current statutory rates if applicable. On a quarterly basis after appropriate distributions to the Company, any cash in excess of $2,000,000 plus unfunded approved development projects is swept by the term loan lender as an additional principal payment on the debt.

7

· The Company has a revolving credit facility with CrossFirst Bank, which was approved for $30,000,000. The balance outstanding at September 30, 2020 is approximately $6,790,000 with a maturity date of May 10, 2021. Additional funds could be made available from this facility for projects reviewed and approved by the lender.

· The Elysium Energy Acquisition on February 3, 2020 is believed to provide cash flow sufficient to not only satisfy the Company’s debt service associated with this acquisition, but to also fund a development program to increase this purchased production beyond its current average daily production of 2,700 BOE and provide a quicker principal reduction, resulting in an increased equity position relative to these assets. Cash generated from the operation of these assets is restricted to lease operating expenses, the payment of debt service on the associated term loan, certain oil and gas development projects approved by the lender, and a cost allocation for general and administrative expenses of $150,000 per month. Additionally, to the extent that Elysium has excess cash flow (as specified in the term loan agreement), the Company is required to make mandatory prepayments of the term loan, without penalty or premium, equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of such excess cash flow.

Additionally, recent oil and gas price volatility as a result of geopolitical conditions and the global COVID-19 pandemic have already had and are expected to 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 our oil and gas production, reduction in the selling price of the Company’s oil and gas, failure of a counterparty to make required hedge payments, 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.

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 will be able to continue to develop new opportunities and will be able to obtain additional funds through debt and / or equity financings to facilitate its development 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.

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., and its majority owned (70%) subsidiary, 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. The noncontrolling (30%) interest of Elysium Energy Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries is separately stated in stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheet and the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is stated separately in the consolidated statement of operations. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

c) 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.

d) Financial Instruments

Accounting Standards Codification, “ASC” Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurement” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 820-10, defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. 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.

9

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are classified below based on the three fair value hierarchy described above:

Description	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Gains (Losses)
Financial Assets
Commodity Derivative		-		4,376,174		-		9,534,996
	$	-	$	4,376,174	$	-	$	9,534,996

Commodity Derivative		-		965,903		-		(965,903	)
	$	-	$	965,903	$	-	$	(965,903	)

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 are classified below based on the three fair value hierarchy described above:

Description	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Gains (Losses)
Financial Assets
Commodity Derivative		-		-		-		-
Financial liabilities
Commodity Derivative				5,158,822		-		(3,308,880	)
	$	-	$	5,158,822	$	-	$	(3,308,880	)

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.

10

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.

Although the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent of nonperformance by the counterparties to these derivative contracts, the Company does not anticipate such nonperformance and monitors the credit worthiness of its counterparties on an ongoing basis.

The derivative assets were $4,376,174 and $0 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 respectively, and the derivative liabilities were $965,903 and $5,158,822 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 respectively. The change in the fair value of the derivative assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 consisted of an increase of $9,534,996 associated with commodity derivatives existing at the beginning of 2020 and an decrease of $965,903 associated with the new commodity derivative related to Elysium’s acquisition on February 3, 2020.

The table below is a summary of the Company’s commodity derivatives as of September 30, 2020:

Natural Gas	Period	Average MMBTU per Month		Fixed Price per MMBTU
Swap	Dec 18 to Dec 22		118,936	$	2.715
Collar	Mar 20 / Aug 22		196,078	$	2.00 / $2.43
Crude Oil	Period	Average BBL per Month		Price per BBL
Swap	Dec 18 to Dec 22		24,600	$	50.85
Collar	Feb 20 to Dec 20		16,278	$	45.00 / $54.20
Collar	Jan 21 to Dec 21		10,135	$	45.00 / $56.00
Collar	Jan 22 to July 22		6,934	$	45.00 / $52.70

e) Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid investment securities that have original maturities of three months or less. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has cash deposits in excess of FDIC insured limits in the amounts of $3,176,970 and $4,163,360 respectively.

11

Restricted cash in the amount of $3,620,426 as of September 30, 2020 consists of $2,588,182 held by Ichor Energy, LLC and/or its subsidiaries and $1,032,244 held Elysium Energy, LLC and/or its subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement to which Ichor Energy LLC and its subsidiaries are parties, following March 31, 2019 the company is required at all times to maintain a minimum cash balance of $2,000,000 (the “MLR”). Within 30 days of the end of each quarter, commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the company is required to pay the lenders, as an additional principal payment on the debt, any cash in excess of (i) the MLR and (ii) any funds necessary for the capital expenditures contemplated to be expended in the next six month period by an approved plan of development (“APOD Capex Amount”). At September 30, 2020, the restricted cash did not exceed the MLR and the APOD Capex Amount.

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. 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.

f) 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

g) 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.

12

h) 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

(b) the cost of properties not being amortized; 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.

i) 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.

j) 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 there were approximately 125,890,784 common stock equivalents that were omitted from the calculation of diluted income per share as they were not dilutive

k) 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.

13

The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenue by source for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Oil	$	8,041,917	$	7,481,016	$	25,107,672	$	22,407,578
Natural gas and natural gas liquids		2,107,470		1,519,575		6,379,530		4,673,928
	$	10,149,387	$	9,000,591	$	31,487,202	$	27,081,506

l) 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.

The Company has estimated net operating loss carryforwards in excess of $20,000,000 at September 30, 2020. The potential benefit of these net operating losses has not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not that it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years. In December 2017, tax legislation was enacted limiting the deduction for net operating losses from taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 to 80% of current year taxable income, eliminating net operating loss carrybacks for losses arising in taxable years ending after December 31, 2017, and allowing net operating losses to be carried forward indefinitely. On March 27, 2020 the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act was enacted which modified the prior legislation to allow 100% of the net operating losses arising in tax years 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back five years. The Company does not have taxable income available in the carryback period. Net operating losses originating in taxable years beginning prior to January 1, 2018 are still subject to former carryover rules. The net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to this date of approximately $11,000,000 will expire between 2020 through 2038.

14

m) 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.

The following table represents stock warrant activity as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:

	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Warrants Outstanding – December 31, 2019		44,629,939		0.26	5.6 years			-
Granted		7,072,747		0.07		-		-
Exercised		703,500		-		-		-
Forfeited/expired/cancelled		-				-		-
Warrants Outstanding – September 30, 2020		50,999,186	$	0.25	4.8 years		$	-
Outstanding Exercisable – September 30, 2020		50,999,186	$	0.25	4.8 years		$	-

The Company issued 573,375 common shares from the exercise of 703,500 warrants during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

n) 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

15

o) 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, 2020: 

	Nine months ended September 30, 2020
Asset retirement obligation – beginning	$	3,538,637
Oil and gas purchases		1,514,328
Accretion expense		360,937
Asset retirement obligation – ending	$	5,413,902

p) Undistributed Revenues and Royalties

The Company records a liability for cash collected from oil and gas sales that have not been distributed. The amounts get distributed in accordance with the working interests of the respective owners.

q) Subsequent events

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events from September 30, 2020 through the date of filing of this report.

Note 3. Business Acquisition

As discussed in Note 1, on February 3, 2020, the Company, through its subsidiary Elysium Energy, LLC (“Elysium Energy”) completed an acquisition of working interests in certain oil and gas leases in Texas and Louisiana. The aggregate consideration transferred for the working interests of $29,496,356 substantially consisted of (i) the net proceeds from the Company’s borrowings on February 3, 2020 with various lenders represented by 405 Woodbine, LLC and Camber Energy, Inc., less (ii) the net effect of the resolution of February 3, 2020 on all amounts outstanding under the Company’s December 2018 promissory note with RPM Investments in exchange for a new note with EMC Capital Partners, LLC (including the pay-down of such new note as a result of the post-closing adjustments). See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for further information on all of these borrowings. The aggregate consideration has been provisionally allocated to the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows:

Provisional Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
Oil and Gas Properties	$	31,010,684
Asset retirement obligations assumed		(1,514,328	)
	$	29,496,356

Pending Merger

On February 3, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Camber Energy, Inc. The Merger Agreement provides that a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Camber will merge with and into Viking, with Viking surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Camber. The proposed merger contemplates Camber issuing newly-issued shares of common stock, with the equity holders of Viking having an 80% interest in the post-closing entity. The merger, if completed, will provide the opportunity for our common stock to be listed on the NYSE American.

The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that the board of directors of the combined company will be comprised of five directors, one to be appointed by Camber and four to be appointed by Viking. The Merger Agreement also provides that James A. Doris, the Chief Executive Officer of Viking, shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the combined company. The combined company will have its headquarters in Houston, Texas.

The completion of the Merger is subject to numerous conditions including (i) the effectiveness of a registration statement registering the shares of Camber common stock to be issued to Viking’s shareholders in the merger and (ii) shareholder approval of the merger transactions by Camber’s shareholders and Viking’s shareholders. Additional closing conditions include (i) 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, and (ii) that the only loan obligations with a maturity date in 2020 that Viking shall have at closing shall be the 2018 Convertible Notes.

The Merger can be terminated under various conditions or circumstances. The Merger Agreement contains customary indemnification obligations of the parties and representations and warranties. Upon consummation of the merger, Viking will be deemed the acquirer for accounting purposes.

Legal matters

From time to time the Company may be a party to litigation involving commercial claims against the Company. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In April of 2019, the staff (the “Staff”) of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement notified the Company that the Staff had made a preliminary determination to recommend that the SEC file an enforcement action against the Company, as well as against its CEO and its CFO, for alleged violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder during the period from early 2014 through late 2016. The Staff’s notice is not a formal allegation or a finding of wrongdoing by the Company, and the Company has communicated with the Staff regarding its preliminary determination. The Company believes it has adequate defenses and intends to vigorously defend any enforcement action that may be initiated by the SEC.

Note 9. Subsequent Events

In a series of separate transactions subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company issued 359,525 shares of common stock in exchange for services rendered by two separate parties.

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

Overview  

Viking Energy Group, Inc. (“Viking” or the “Company”) is an independent exploration and production company engaged in the sale of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, focused on the acquisition and development of oil and natural gas properties in the Gulf Coast and Mid-Continent regions of the United States. The Company owns oil and gas leases in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Kansas. The Company targets under-valued assets with realistic appreciation potential.  

The Company's business plan is to engage in the acquisition, exploration, development of and production from oil and natural gas properties, both individually and through collaborative partnerships with other companies in this field of endeavor. Viking has relationships with industry experts and formulated an acquisition strategy, with emphasis on acquiring under-valued, producing properties from distressed vendors or those deemed as non-core assets by larger sector participants. The Company does not focus on speculative exploration programs, but rather targets oil and gas properties with current production and untapped reserves. The Company’s growth strategy includes the following key initiatives:

• Acquisition of under-valued producing oil and gas assets

• Employ enhanced recovery techniques to maximize production: and

• Implement responsible, lower-risk drilling programs on existing assets

• Aggressively pursue cost-efficiencies

• Opportunistically explore strategic mergers and/or acquisitions

• Actively hedge to mitigate commodity risk

25

The following overview provides a background for the current strategy being implemented by management

Acquisitions – Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi

On December 22, 2017, the Company completed an acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of Petrodome Energy, LLC, 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 in Houston, Texas that includes several senior level professionals with over 100 years of combined oil and gas experience which provides 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 and develop new drilling prospects.

Acquisitions – Texas and Louisiana

On December 28, 2018, the Company, through its newly formed Ichor Energy subsidiaries completed an acquisition (the “Ichor Energy Acquisition”) of working interests in oil and gas leases in Texas (primarily in Orange and Jefferson Counties) and Louisiana (primarily in Calcasiue Parish), which included 58 producing wells and 31 salt water disposal wells. The properties produce hydrocarbons from known reservoirs/sands in the on-shore Gulf Coast region, with an average well depth in excess of 10,600 feet, and daily production volumes averaging in excess of 2,000 BOE. This acquisition of these assets is consistent with the location of the Company’s Petrodome assets and the acquired assets are effectively managed from the Company’s Houston office.

On May 10, 2019, Petrodome Louisiana Pipeline LLC ("Petrodome LA"), a subsidiary of the Company’s subsidiary, Petrodome Energy, LLC, 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.

On February 3, 2020, the subsidiary of the Company’s 75% owned subsidiary, Elysium Energy Holdings, LLC , acquired interests in oil and gas properties located in Texas and Louisiana, which included leases, working interests, and over-riding royalty interests in oil and gas properties in Texas (approximately 72 wells in 11 counties) and Louisiana (approximately 55 wells in 6 parishes), along with associated equipment. On February 4, 2020, Elysium hedged 75% of the estimated oil and gas production associated with the newly acquired assets for 2020, 60% of the estimated production for 2021 and 50% of the estimated production for the period between January, 2022 to July, 2022. Theses hedges have a floor of $45 and a ceiling ranging from $52.70 to $56.00 for oil, and a floor of $2.00 and a ceiling of $2.425 for natural gas.

Pending Merger

On August 31, 2020, The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Merger with Camber Energy, to amend and restate the Original Agreement. In addition to restating the Merger Amendments, the A&R Merger Agreement amended the agreement to: (a) provide for Viking to continue to have 28,092 shares of its Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of the closing of the Merger; (b) provide for such Series C Preferred Stock of Viking to be exchanged, on a one-for-one basis for a series of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Camber, which have substantially similar terms as the Viking Series C Preferred Stock (as recently amended), but with the holder thereof having the right to convert such Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into, and the right to vote a number of voting shares equal to, the number of shares of common stock of Camber which would have been issuable to the holder of such Series C Preferred Stock of Viking upon the closing of the Merger, had such preferred stock been fully converted into common stock prior to closing; (c) make other amendments throughout the Original Merger Agreement to provide for the concept of the exchange of Viking preferred stock for Camber preferred stock; (d) remove the closing conditions related to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, which the parties have determined will not apply to the Merger; (e) provide for Viking’s consent to the Company’s payment of an aggregate of $600,000 in consideration to each non-executive member of the Camber Board of Directors and each Camber executive officer (which had previously been approved in concept by Viking pursuant to the Merger Amendments); (f) provide for Camber’s consent to an amendment to the designation of the terms of Viking’s Series C Preferred Stock, subject to applicable law and the approval of the holder thereof; (g) remove certain closing conditions to the Merger which have already occurred to date; (h) include as a closing condition that Viking must receive an opinion, from legal counsel or an independent public or certified accountant, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Viking, dated as of the closing date of the Merger, to the effect that, on the basis of facts, representations and assumptions set forth or referred to in such opinion, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Merger will be treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code; (i) provide that Viking shall not have more than 28,092 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at the time the Merger closes; (j) clarify that if the merger is not completed because Camber’s shareholders do not approve the merger, Camber would retain a 15% membership interest in Elysium Energy Holdings, LLC; and (k) make certain other clarifying changes and updates to the Original Merger Agreement.

On February 3, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Camber Energy, Inc. The Merger Agreement provides that a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Camber will merge with and into Viking, with Viking surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Camber. The proposed merger contemplates Camber issuing newly-issued shares of common stock, with the equity holders of Viking having an 80% interest in the post-closing entity. The merger, if completed, will provide the opportunity for our common stock to be listed on the NYSE American.

The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that the board of directors of the combined company will be comprised of five directors, one to be appointed by Camber and four to be appointed by Viking. The Merger Agreement also provides that James A. Doris, the Chief Executive Officer of Viking, shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the combined company. The combined company will have its headquarters in Houston, Texas.

The completion of the Merger is subject to numerous conditions including (i) the effectiveness of a registration statement registering the shares of Camber common stock to be issued to Viking’s shareholders in the merger and (ii) shareholder approval of the merger transactions by Camber’s shareholders and Viking’s shareholders. Additional closing conditions include (i) 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, and (ii) that the only loan obligations with a maturity date in 2020 that Viking shall have at closing shall be the 2018 Convertible Notes.

27

The Merger can be terminated under various conditions or circumstances. The Merger Agreement contains customary indemnification obligations of the parties and representations and warranties. Upon consummation of the merger, Viking will be deemed the acquirer for accounting purposes.

Going Concern Qualification

These accompanying 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 generated a net loss of $15,458,598 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to a net loss of $9,220,005 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has a working capital deficiency of approximately $63,000,000. The largest components of current liabilities creating this deficiency are (a) notes payable with a face value aggregating approximately $6.4 million as of September 30, 2020 due in December of 2020, (b) a revolving credit facility with a balance of $6,790,000 as of September 30, 2020, due in May of 2021, (c) a note payable of approximately $15.6 million as of September 30, 2020, due in June of 2021, and (d) a term loan agreement of approximately $30.7 million as of September 30, 2020.

Management has evaluated these conditions and has developed a plan which, in part, address these obligations as follows:

· The acquisition of Petrodome Energy LLC in 2017 and the oil and gas expertise retained by Petrodome at the end of 2017 provided an internal lease operating company to efficiently evaluate development opportunities.

· The Ichor Energy Acquisition at the end of 2018 is believed to provide cash flow sufficient to not only satisfy the Company’s debt service associated with this acquisition, but to also fund a work over program to increase this purchased production beyond its current average daily production of 2,000 BOE and provide a quicker principal reduction, resulting in an increased equity position relative to these assets. Cash generated from the operation of these assets is restricted to lease operating expenses, the payment of debt service on the associated term loan, and distributions to Viking of $65,000 per month for general and administrative expenses, and a quarterly tax distribution at the current statutory rates if applicable. On a quarterly basis after appropriate distributions to the Company, any cash in excess of $2,000,000 plus unfunded approved development projects is swept by the term loan lender as an additional principal payment on the debt.

· The Company has a revolving credit facility with CrossFirst Bank, which was approved for $30,000,000. The balance outstanding at September 30, 2020 is approximately $6,790,000 with a maturity date of May 10, 2021. Additional funds could be made available from this facility for projects reviewed and approved by the lender.

· The Elysium Energy Acquisition on February 3, 2020 is believed to provide cash flow sufficient to not only satisfy the Company’s debt service associated with this acquisition, but to also fund a development program to increase this purchased production beyond its current average daily production of 2,700 BOE and provide a quicker principal reduction, resulting in an increased equity position relative to these assets. Cash generated from the operation of these assets is restricted to lease operating expenses, the payment of debt service on the associated term loan, certain oil and gas development projects approved by the lender, and a cost allocation for general and administrative expenses of $150,000 per month. Additionally, to the extent that Elysium has excess cash flow (as specified in the term loan agreement), the Company is required to make mandatory prepayments of the term loan, without penalty or premium, equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of such excess cash flow.

Additionally, recent oil and gas price volatility as a result of geopolitical conditions and the global COVID-19 pandemic have already had, and are expected to 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 our oil and gas production, reduction in the selling price of the Company’s oil and gas, failure of a counterparty to make required hedge payments, 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.

28

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 will be able to continue to develop new opportunities and will be able to obtain additional funds through debt and / or equity financings to facilitate its development 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.

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operation of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had $5,951,272 (of which $3,620,426 is restricted) and $5,638,724 (of which $3,877,229 is restricted) in cash holdings, respectively.  

Restricted cash in the amount of $3,620,426 as of September 30, 2020 consists of $2,588,182 held by Ichor Energy, LLC and/or its subsidiaries and $1,032,244 held Elysium Energy, LLC and/or its subsidiaries.  

Pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement to which the Company’s subsidiary, Ichor Energy LLC and its subsidiaries are parties, following March 31, 2019 the company is required at all times to maintain a minimum cash balance of $2,000,000 (the “MLR”). Within 30 days of the end of each quarter, commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the borrower is required to pay the lenders, as an additional principal payment on the debt, any cash in excess of (i) the MLR and (ii) any funds necessary for the capital expenditures contemplated to be expended in the next six month period by an approved plan of development (“APOD Capex Amount”). At September 30, 2020, the restricted cash did not exceed the MLR and the APOD Capex Amount.

Pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement to which the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, 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. 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 specified in the agreement.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company has total long-term debt and other short-term borrowings of $128,506,207, with a current portion of $61,614,657. The current portion consists primarily of (a) notes payable with a face value aggregating approximately $6.4 million as of September 30, 2020, due in December of 2020, (b) a revolving credit facility with a balance of $6,790,000 as of September 30, 2020, due in May of 2021, (c) a note payable of approximately $156 million as of September 30, 2020, due in June of 2021, and (d) a term loan agreement of approximately $30.7 million as of September 30, 2020. (see Going Concern Qualification in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein).

Three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019

Revenue

The Company had gross revenues of $10,149,387 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $9,000,591 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, reflecting an increase in excess of 12% or $1,148,796. This increase in revenue is primarily a result of the increased production from the oil and gas assets acquired in February of 2020.

Expenses

The Company’s operating expenses increased by approximately 95%, or $7,131,668 to $14,609,835 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, from $7,478,167 in the corresponding prior period. A significant portion of this increase is due to an increase in stock-based compensation of $2,832,749 to $3,235,200 during the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $402,451 for the corresponding period in 2019, and a $2,500,000 impairment charge against oil and gas assets during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increases in lease operating costs and DD&A are primarily attributable to the acquisition of additional oil and gas assets during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Lease operating costs increased by approximately 40%, or $1,443,986, to 4,991,648 from $3,547,662 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. DD&A expense, a non-cash expense, increased by $193,458, to $2,573,183 from $2,379,725 for the corresponding period in 2019. General and administrative expenses reflected an increase of approximately 10%, to $1,190,145, when compared to $1,076,287 in the corresponding prior period.

Income (loss) from Operations

The Company generated a loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020 of $(4,460,448), when compared to income from operations of $1,522,424 for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Other Income (Expense)

The Company had other expense of $(13,574,359) for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to other expense of $(103,294) for the three months ended September 30, 2019. This significant difference is primarily a result of a loss on the Company’s commodity derivatives, stock-based interest expense related to certain financing transactions and amortization of debt discount due to increased debt associated with acquisitions.

Net Income (Loss)

The Company had net loss of $(18,034,807) during the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, compared with a net income of $1,419,130 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, a $19,453,937 difference primarily as a result of the items discussed above.

Nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019

Revenue

The Company had gross revenues of $31,487,202 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $27,081,506 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, reflecting an increase in excess of 16% or $4,405,696. This increase in revenue is primarily a result of the increased production from the oil and gas assets acquired in February of 2020, and to a lesser extent enhancement to existing wells.

Expenses

The Company’s operating expenses increased by approximately 59%, or $11,733,403 to $31,758,734 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, from $20,025,331 in the corresponding prior period. A significant portion of this increase is due to an increase in stock-based compensation of $3,242,049 to $3,686,582 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $444,533 for the corresponding period in 2019 , and a $2,500,000 impairment charge against oil and gas assets during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increases in lease operating costs and DD&A are primarily attributable to the acquisition of additional oil and gas assets during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Lease operating costs increased by approximately 46%, or $4,143,306, to 13,147,640 from $9,004,334 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. DD&A expense, a non-cash expense, increased by $1,692,989, to $8,671,593 from $6,978,604 for the corresponding period in 2019.

Net Income (Loss)

The Company had a net loss of $(15,458,598) during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, compared with a net loss of $(9,220,005) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, a $6,238,593 difference primarily as a result of the items discussed above.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions and apply judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be important at the time the financial statements are prepared and actual results could differ from our estimates and such differences could be material. Due to the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain, materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. On a regular basis, we review our critical accounting policies and how they are applied in the preparation of our financial statements, as well as the sufficiency of the disclosures pertaining to our accounting policies in the footnotes accompanying our financial statements. Described below are the most significant policies we apply in preparing our consolidated financial statements, some of which are subject to alternative treatments under GAAP. We also describe the most significant estimates and assumptions we make in applying these policies. See “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements.

Oil and Gas Property Accounting

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 of acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties (including such costs as leasehold acquisition costs, geological expenditures, dry hole costs, tangible and intangible development costs and direct internal costs) are capitalized as the cost of oil and natural gas properties when incurred.

31

The full cost method requires the Company to calculate quarterly, by cost center, a “ceiling,” or limitation on the amount of properties that can be capitalized on the balance sheet. To the extent capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, less accumulated depletion and related deferred taxes, exceed the sum of the discounted future net revenues of proved oil and natural gas reserves, the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved not properties subject to amortization, the cost of properties not being amortized, and the related tax amounts, such excess capitalized costs are charged to expense.

Proved Reserves

Estimates of our proved reserves included in this report are prepared in accordance with U.S. SEC guidelines for reporting corporate reserves and future net revenue. The accuracy of a reserve estimate is a function of:

i. the quality and quantity of available data;

ii. the interpretation of that data;

iii. the accuracy of various mandated economic assumptions; and

iv. the judgment of the persons preparing the estimate.

Our proved reserve information included in this report was predominately based on estimates. Because these estimates depend on many assumptions, all of which may substantially differ from future actual results, reserve estimates will be different from the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered. In addition, results of drilling, testing and production after the date of an estimate may justify material revisions to the estimate.

In accordance with SEC requirements, we based the estimated discounted future net cash flows from proved reserves on the unweighted arithmetic average of the prior 12-month commodity prices as of the first day of each of the months constituting the period and costs on the date of the estimate.

The estimates of proved reserves materially impact depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion (“DD&A”) expense. If the estimates of proved reserves decline, the rate at which we record DD&A expense will increase, reducing future net income. Such a decline may result from lower market prices, which may make it uneconomic to drill for and produce from higher-cost fields.

Asset Retirement Obligation

Asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) primarily represent the estimated present value of the amount we will incur to plug, abandon and remediate our producing properties at the projected end of their productive lives, in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws. We determined our 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. Periodic accretion of discount of the estimated liability is recorded as accretion expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

ARO liability is determined using significant assumptions, including current estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, annual inflation of these costs, the productive lives of wells and a risk-adjusted interest rate. Changes in any of these assumptions can result in significant revisions to the estimated ARO.

32

Commodity derivatives

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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is not required to provide the information under this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company does not currently maintain controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures would include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2020, have been evaluated, and, based upon this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer has concluded that these controls and procedures are not effective in providing reasonable assurance of compliance.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls and procedures and the Company's internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. There were no changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

33

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of commercial operations in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2020, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of operations.

In April of 2019, the staff (the “Staff”) of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement notified the Company that the Staff had made a preliminary determination to recommend that the SEC file an enforcement action against the Company, as well as against its CEO and its CFO, for alleged violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder during the period from early 2014 through late 2016. The Staff’s notice is not a formal allegation or a finding of wrongdoing by the Company, and the Company has communicated with the Staff regarding its preliminary determination. The Company believes it has adequate defenses and intends to vigorously defend any enforcement action that may be initiated by the SEC.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

As a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is not required to provide the information under this item.

Nature of Business and Going Concern

Nature of Business and Going Concern

Note 1. Nature of Business and Going Concern

Viking Energy Group, Inc. (“Viking” or the “Company”) is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas properties, both individually and through collaborative partnerships with other companies in this field of endeavor.  Since the beginning of 2019, the Company has had the following related activities:

· On May 1, 2019, the Company’s subsidiary, Mid-Con Development, LLC sold all of its interests in the oil and gas assets Mid-Con Development, LLC owned in Ellis and Rooks Counties, Kansas, consisting of working interests in approximately 41 oil leases comprising several thousand acres.

· On May 10, 2019, Petrodome Louisiana Pipeline LLC ("Petrodome LA"), a subsidiary of the Company’s subsidiary, Petrodome Energy, LLC, 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.

· On February 3, 2020, Elysium Energy, LLC (“Elysium”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Viking’s majority-owned subsidiary, Elysium Energy Holdings, LLC (“Elysium Holdings”), acquired interests in certain oil and gas properties located in Texas and Louisiana. The assets purchased included leases, working interests, and over-riding royalty interests in oil and gas properties in Texas (approximately 72 wells) and Louisiana (approximately 55 wells), along with associated equipment. On February 4, 2020, Elysium hedged 75% of the estimated oil and gas production associated with the newly acquired assets for 2020, 60% of the estimated production for 2021 and 50% of the estimated production for the period between January 2022 to July 2022. Theses hedges have a floor of $45 and a ceiling ranging from $52.70 to $56 for oil, and a floor of $2 and a ceiling of $2.425 for natural gas

These accompanying 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 generated a net loss of $15,458,598 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to a net loss of $9,220,005 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has a working capital deficiency of approximately $63,000,000. The largest components of current liabilities creating this deficiency are (a) notes payable with a face value aggregating approximately $6.4 million as of September 30, 2020 due in December of 2020, (b) a revolving credit facility with a balance of $6,790,000 as of September 30, 2020 due in May of 2021, (c) a note payable of approximately $15.6 million as of September 30, 2020 due in June of 2021, and (d) a term loan agreement with a face value of approximately $34.3 million as of September 30, 2020.

Management has evaluated these conditions and has developed a plan which, in part, address these obligations as follows:

· The acquisition of Petrodome Energy LLC in 2017 and the oil and gas expertise retained by Petrodome at the end of 2017 provided an internal lease operating company to efficiently evaluate development opportunities.

· The Ichor Energy Acquisition at the end of 2018 is believed to provide cash flow sufficient to not only satisfy the Company’s debt service associated with this acquisition, but to also fund a work over program to increase this purchased production beyond its current average daily production of 2,000 BOE and provide a quicker principal reduction, resulting in an increased equity position relative to these assets. Cash generated from the operation of these assets is restricted to lease operating expenses, the payment of debt service on the associated term loan, and distributions to Viking of $65,000 per month for general and administrative expenses, and a quarterly tax distribution at the current statutory rates if applicable. On a quarterly basis after appropriate distributions to the Company, any cash in excess of $2,000,000 plus unfunded approved development projects is swept by the term loan lender as an additional principal payment on the debt.

· The Company has a revolving credit facility with CrossFirst Bank, which was approved for $30,000,000. The balance outstanding at September 30, 2020 is approximately $6,790,000 with a maturity date of May 10, 2021. Additional funds could be made available from this facility for projects reviewed and approved by the lender.

· The Elysium Energy Acquisition on February 3, 2020 is believed to provide cash flow sufficient to not only satisfy the Company’s debt service associated with this acquisition, but to also fund a development program to increase this purchased production beyond its current average daily production of 2,700 BOE and provide a quicker principal reduction, resulting in an increased equity position relative to these assets. Cash generated from the operation of these assets is restricted to lease operating expenses, the payment of debt service on the associated term loan, certain oil and gas development projects approved by the lender, and a cost allocation for general and administrative expenses of $150,000 per month. Additionally, to the extent that Elysium has excess cash flow (as specified in the term loan agreement), the Company is required to make mandatory prepayments of the term loan, without penalty or premium, equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of such excess cash flow.

Additionally, recent oil and gas price volatility as a result of geopolitical conditions and the global COVID-19 pandemic have already had and are expected to 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 our oil and gas production, reduction in the selling price of the Company’s oil and gas, failure of a counterparty to make required hedge payments, 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.

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 will be able to continue to develop new opportunities and will be able to obtain additional funds through debt and / or equity financings to facilitate its development 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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2. 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., and its majority owned (70%) subsidiary, 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. The noncontrolling (30%) interest of Elysium Energy Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries is separately stated in stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheet and the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is stated separately in the consolidated statement of operations. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

c) 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.

d) Financial Instruments

Accounting Standards Codification, “ASC” Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurement” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 820-10, defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. 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 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are classified below based on the three fair value hierarchy described above:

Description	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Gains (Losses)
Financial Assets
Commodity Derivative		-		4,376,174		-		9,534,996
	$	-	$	4,376,174	$	-	$	9,534,996
Financial liabilities
Commodity Derivative		-		965,903		-		(965,903	)
	$	-	$	965,903	$	-	$	(965,903	)

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 are classified below based on the three fair value hierarchy described above:

Description	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Gains (Losses)
Financial Assets
Commodity Derivative		-		-		-		-
Financial liabilities
Commodity Derivative				5,158,822		-		(3,308,880	)
	$	-	$	5,158,822	$	-	$	(3,308,880	)

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.

Although the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent of nonperformance by the counterparties to these derivative contracts, the Company does not anticipate such nonperformance and monitors the credit worthiness of its counterparties on an ongoing basis.

The derivative assets were $4,376,174 and $0 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 respectively, and the derivative liabilities were $965,903 and $5,158,822 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 respectively. The change in the fair value of the derivative assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 consisted of an increase of $9,534,996 associated with commodity derivatives existing at the beginning of 2020 and an decrease of $965,903 associated with the new commodity derivative related to Elysium’s acquisition on February 3, 2020.

The table below is a summary of the Company’s commodity derivatives as of September 30, 2020:

Natural Gas	Period	Average MMBTU per Month		Fixed Price per MMBTU
Swap	Dec 18 to Dec 22		118,936	$	2.715
Collar	Mar 20 / Aug 22		196,078	$	2.00 / $2.43
Crude Oil	Period	Average BBL per Month		Price per BBL
Swap	Dec 18 to Dec 22		24,600	$	50.85
Collar	Feb 20 to Dec 20		16,278	$	45.00 / $54.20
Collar	Jan 21 to Dec 21		10,135	$	45.00 / $56.00
Collar	Jan 22 to July 22		6,934	$	45.00 / $52.70

e) Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid investment securities that have original maturities of three months or less. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has cash deposits in excess of FDIC insured limits in the amounts of $3,176,970 and $4,163,360 respectively.

Restricted cash in the amount of $3,620,426 as of September 30, 2020 consists of $2,588,182 held by Ichor Energy, LLC and/or its subsidiaries and $1,032,244 held Elysium Energy, LLC and/or its subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement to which Ichor Energy LLC and its subsidiaries are parties, following March 31, 2019 the company is required at all times to maintain a minimum cash balance of $2,000,000 (the “MLR”). Within 30 days of the end of each quarter, commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the company is required to pay the lenders, as an additional principal payment on the debt, any cash in excess of (i) the MLR and (ii) any funds necessary for the capital expenditures contemplated to be expended in the next six month period by an approved plan of development (“APOD Capex Amount”). At September 30, 2020, the restricted cash did not exceed the MLR and the APOD Capex Amount.

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. 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.

f) 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

g) 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.

h) 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

(b) the cost of properties not being amortized; 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.

i) 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.

j) 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 there were approximately 125,890,784 common stock equivalents that were omitted from the calculation of diluted income per share as they were not dilutive

k) 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.

The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenue by source for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Oil	$	8,041,917	$	7,481,016	$	25,107,672	$	22,407,578
Natural gas and natural gas liquids		2,107,470		1,519,575		6,379,530		4,673,928
	$	10,149,387	$	9,000,591	$	31,487,202	$	27,081,506

l) 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.

The Company has estimated net operating loss carryforwards in excess of $20,000,000 at September 30, 2020. The potential benefit of these net operating losses has not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not that it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years. In December 2017, tax legislation was enacted limiting the deduction for net operating losses from taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 to 80% of current year taxable income, eliminating net operating loss carrybacks for losses arising in taxable years ending after December 31, 2017, and allowing net operating losses to be carried forward indefinitely. On March 27, 2020 the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act was enacted which modified the prior legislation to allow 100% of the net operating losses arising in tax years 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back five years. The Company does not have taxable income available in the carryback period. Net operating losses originating in taxable years beginning prior to January 1, 2018 are still subject to former carryover rules. The net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to this date of approximately $11,000,000 will expire between 2020 through 2038.

m) 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.

The following table represents stock warrant activity as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:

	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Warrants Outstanding – December 31, 2019		44,629,939		0.26	5.6 years			-
Granted		7,072,747		0.07		-		-

The Company issued 573,375 common shares from the exercise of 703,500 warrants during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

n) 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

o) 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, 2020: 

	Nine months ended September 30, 2020
Asset retirement obligation – beginning	$	3,538,637
Oil and gas purchases		1,514,328
Accretion expense		360,937
Asset retirement obligation – ending	$	5,413,902

p) Undistributed Revenues and Royalties

The Company records a liability for cash collected from oil and gas sales that have not been distributed. The amounts get distributed in accordance with the working interests of the respective owners.

q) Subsequent events

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events from September 30, 2020 through the date of filing of this report.

Office lease

In April 2018, the Company’s subsidiary, Petrodome Energy, LLC entered into a 66-month lease for 4,147 square feet of office space for the Company’s corporate office in Houston, Texas. The annual base rent commenced at $22.00 per square foot, and escalates at $0.50 per foot each year through expiration of the lease term. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease expense was $48,192 and $72,228 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Pending Merger

On February 3, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Camber Energy, Inc. The Merger Agreement provides that a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Camber will merge with and into Viking, with Viking surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Camber. The proposed merger contemplates Camber issuing newly-issued shares of common stock, with the equity holders of Viking having an 80% interest in the post-closing entity. The merger, if completed, will provide the opportunity for our common stock to be listed on the NYSE American.

The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that the board of directors of the combined company will be comprised of five directors, one to be appointed by Camber and four to be appointed by Viking. The Merger Agreement also provides that James A. Doris, the Chief Executive Officer of Viking, shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the combined company. The combined company will have its headquarters in Houston, Texas.

The completion of the Merger is subject to numerous conditions including (i) the effectiveness of a registration statement registering the shares of Camber common stock to be issued to Viking’s shareholders in the merger and (ii) shareholder approval of the merger transactions by Camber’s shareholders and Viking’s shareholders. Additional closing conditions include (i) 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, and (ii) that the only loan obligations with a maturity date in 2020 that Viking shall have at closing shall be the 2018 Convertible Notes.

The Merger can be terminated under various conditions or circumstances. The Merger Agreement contains customary indemnification obligations of the parties and representations and warranties. Upon consummation of the merger, Viking will be deemed the acquirer for accounting purposes.

Legal matters

From time to time the Company may be a party to litigation involving commercial claims against the Company. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In April of 2019, the staff (the “Staff”) of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement notified the Company that the Staff had made a preliminary determination to recommend that the SEC file an enforcement action against the Company, as well as against its CEO and its CFO, for alleged violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder during the period from early 2014 through late 2016. The Staff’s notice is not a formal allegation or a finding of wrongdoing by the Company, and the Company has communicated with the Staff regarding its preliminary determination. The Company believes it has adequate defenses and intends to vigorously defend any enforcement action that may be initiated by the SEC.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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.

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., and its majority owned (70%) subsidiary, 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. The noncontrolling (30%) interest of Elysium Energy Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries is separately stated in stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheet and the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is stated separately in the consolidated statement of operations. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

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.

Financial Instruments

Accounting Standards Codification, “ASC” Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurement” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 820-10, defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. 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 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are classified below based on the three fair value hierarchy described above:

Description	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Gains (Losses)
Financial Assets
Commodity Derivative		-		4,376,174		-		9,534,996

	$	-	$	965,903	$	-	$	(965,903	)

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 are classified below based on the three fair value hierarchy described above:

Description	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Gains (Losses)
Financial Assets
Commodity Derivative		-		-		-		-

	$	-	$	5,158,822	$	-	$	(3,308,880	)

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.

Although the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent of nonperformance by the counterparties to these derivative contracts, the Company does not anticipate such nonperformance and monitors the credit worthiness of its counterparties on an ongoing basis.

The derivative assets were $4,376,174 and $0 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 respectively, and the derivative liabilities were $965,903 and $5,158,822 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 respectively. The change in the fair value of the derivative assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 consisted of an increase of $9,534,996 associated with commodity derivatives existing at the beginning of 2020 and an decrease of $965,903 associated with the new commodity derivative related to Elysium’s acquisition on February 3, 2020.

The table below is a summary of the Company’s commodity derivatives as of September 30, 2020:

Natural Gas	Period	Average MMBTU per Month		Fixed Price per MMBTU
Swap	Dec 18 to Dec 22		118,936	$	2.715
Collar	Mar 20 / Aug 22		196,078	$	2.00 / $2.43
Crude Oil	Period	Average BBL per Month		Price per BBL
Swap	Dec 18 to Dec 22		24,600	$	50.85
Collar	Feb 20 to Dec 20		16,278	$	45.00 / $54.20
Collar	Jan 21 to Dec 21		10,135	$	45.00 / $56.00
Collar	Jan 22 to July 22		6,934	$	45.00 / $52.70

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid investment securities that have original maturities of three months or less. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has cash deposits in excess of FDIC insured limits in the amounts of $3,176,970 and $4,163,360 respectively.

Restricted cash in the amount of $3,620,426 as of September 30, 2020 consists of $2,588,182 held by Ichor Energy, LLC and/or its subsidiaries and $1,032,244 held Elysium Energy, LLC and/or its subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement to which Ichor Energy LLC and its subsidiaries are parties, following March 31, 2019 the company is required at all times to maintain a minimum cash balance of $2,000,000 (the “MLR”). Within 30 days of the end of each quarter, commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the company is required to pay the lenders, as an additional principal payment on the debt, any cash in excess of (i) the MLR and (ii) any funds necessary for the capital expenditures contemplated to be expended in the next six month period by an approved plan of development (“APOD Capex Amount”). At September 30, 2020, the restricted cash did not exceed the MLR and the APOD Capex Amount.

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. 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.

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, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

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.

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

(b) the cost of properties not being amortized; 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.

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.

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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 there were approximately 125,890,784 common stock equivalents that were omitted from the calculation of diluted income per share as they were not dilutive.

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.

The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenue by source for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Oil	$	8,041,917	$	7,481,016	$	25,107,672	$	22,407,578
Natural gas and natural gas liquids		2,107,470		1,519,575		6,379,530		4,673,928
	$	10,149,387	$	9,000,591	$	31,487,202	$	27,081,506

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.

The Company has estimated net operating loss carryforwards in excess of $20,000,000 at September 30, 2020. The potential benefit of these net operating losses has not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not that it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years. In December 2017, tax legislation was enacted limiting the deduction for net operating losses from taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 to 80% of current year taxable income, eliminating net operating loss carrybacks for losses arising in taxable years ending after December 31, 2017, and allowing net operating losses to be carried forward indefinitely. On March 27, 2020 the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act was enacted which modified the prior legislation to allow 100% of the net operating losses arising in tax years 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back five years. The Company does not have taxable income available in the carryback period. Net operating losses originating in taxable years beginning prior to January 1, 2018 are still subject to former carryover rules. The net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to this date of approximately $11,000,000 will expire between 2020 through 2038.

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.

The following table represents stock warrant activity as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:

	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Warrants Outstanding – December 31, 2019		44,629,939		0.26	5.6 years			-
Granted		7,072,747		0.07		-		-
Exercised		703,500		-		-		-
Forfeited/expired/cancelled		-				-		-
Warrants Outstanding – September 30, 2020		50,999,186	$	0.25	4.8 years		$	-
Outstanding Exercisable – September 30, 2020		50,999,186	$	0.25	4.8 years		$	-

The Company issued 573,375 common shares from the exercise of 703,500 warrants during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

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.

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.
