 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – GENERAL

 Camber Energy Inc. (“Camber” or the “Company”) is an independent oil and gas company engaged in the development and acquisition of onshore properties in Texas. Subsequent to the sale of its assets in Oklahoma to N&B Energy, LLC (“N&B Energy”) effective August 1, 2018 (see further discussion in Note 2), Camber retained its assets in Glasscock County and operates in Hutchinson Counties, Texas. Additionally, as part of the N&B transaction, the Company also retained a 12.5% production payment (effective until a total of $2.5 million has been received); a 3% overriding royalty interest in its existing Okfuskee County, Oklahoma asset; and an overriding royalty interest on certain other undeveloped leasehold interests, pursuant to an Assignment of Production Payment and Assignments of Overriding Royalty Interests.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Camber Energy, Inc. (“Camber” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Camber’s annual report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2018. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of 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. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year 2018 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.

Effective on January 10, 2018, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada, a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock, $0.001 per value per share, from 200,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares (the “Amendment”). The Amendment was previously approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders held on January 9, 2018.

On March 1, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to effect a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of all outstanding common stock shares of the Company. The reverse stock split was effective on March 5, 2018. The effect of the reverse stock split was to combine each 25 shares of outstanding common stock into one new share, with no change in authorized shares or par value per share, and to reduce the number of common stock shares outstanding from approximately 103.5 million shares to approximately 4.1 million shares (prior to rounding). Proportional adjustments were made to the conversion and exercise prices of the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred stock, warrants and stock options, and to the number of shares issued and issuable under the Company’s stock incentive plans. The reverse stock split did not affect any shareholder’s ownership percentage of the Company’s common stock, except to the limited extent that the reverse stock split resulted in any shareholder owning a fractional share. Fractional shares of common stock were rounded up to the nearest whole share based on each holder’s aggregate ownership of the Company. All issued and outstanding shares of common stock, conversion terms of preferred stock, options and warrants to purchase common stock and per share amounts contained in the financial statements, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) TOPIC 4C, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse split for all periods presented.

NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

At September 30, 2018, the Company's total current assets of $5.5 million exceeded its total current liabilities of $4.4 million, resulting in working capital of $1.1 million, while at March 31, 2018, the Company’s total current liabilities of $40.3 million exceeded its total current assets of $1.7 million, resulting in a working capital deficit of $38.6 million. The $39.7 million increase in the working capital is primarily due to the assignment of the liabilities owed under the IBC Loan Agreement to N&B Energy in September 2018, as discussed below under “Note 2 - Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations - Assumption Agreement”.

The Company has entered into the following transactions to address liquidity and going concern issues:

On December 30, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) to acquire, from twenty-three different entities and individuals (the “Sellers”), working interests in producing properties and undeveloped acreage (the “Acquisition”), which acquisition transaction was completed on August 25, 2016. The assets acquired include varied interests in two largely contiguous acreage blocks in the liquids-rich Mid-Continent region. In connection with the closing of the acquisition, the Company assumed approximately $30.6 million of commercial bank debt, issued 520,387 shares of common stock to certain of the Sellers, issued 552,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to one of the Sellers and its affiliate, and paid $4,975,000 in cash to certain of the Sellers. The effective date of the Acquisition was April 1, 2016.

Pursuant to a Letter Agreement the Company entered into, at the closing of the Acquisition, with RAD2 Minerals, Ltd. (“RAD2”), one of the Sellers, which is owned and controlled by Richard N. Azar II, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former director. RAD2 agreed to accept full financial liability for any and all deficiencies between the “Agreed Assets Value” set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement of $80,697,710, and the mutually agreed upon value of the assets delivered by the Sellers at the closing of the Acquisition, up to an aggregate of $1,030,941 (as applicable, the “Deficiency”). The Company accepted additional oil and gas producing properties and two salt water disposal facilities from the Sellers with an approximate value of $1.0 million to resolve this Deficiency.

The Asset Purchase Agreement between the Sellers and the Company relating to the Acquisition included the requirement that, following the closing, the parties undertake an accounting/true-up of expenses attributable to the assets acquired by the Company and revenue generated from such assets. A dispute arose between the Sellers and the Company as to the time period which the Company was to be responsible for the payment of expenses and was to receive the revenue from such assets prior to the closing of the transaction. Specifically, the Company believed that the agreements provided for it to be responsible for all expenses associated with the assets, and to receive all revenue generated from the assets, from April 1, 2016, the effective date of the Asset Purchase Agreement, through the closing date, August 25, 2016. The Sellers on the other hand, which include entities owned by Richard N. Azar, II, the Company’s then interim Chief Executive Officer, argued that the Company was only responsible for expenses, and was only due to receive revenue from the assets, beginning on the closing date, August 25, 2016. The difference in the amounts claimed due to the Company from the parties varied from a high of $1,121,718, which the Company alleged was due, to a low of $342,298, which the Sellers alleged was due. On July 12, 2018, the Company entered into a Compromise Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release with Segundo Resources, LLC”), which is owned and controlled by Mr. Azar (“Segundo” and the “Segundo Settlement”), in partial consideration for N&B Energy agreeing to enter into the Sale Agreement (discussed below). Pursuant to the Segundo Settlement, Segundo surrendered 15,237 shares of common stock valued at $76.25 per share as of the effective date of the closing of the acquisition contemplated by the December 31, 2015 Asset Purchase Agreement (which closing effective date was April 1, 2016) for cancellation (which cancellation occurred in October 2018), and released the Company from any and all claims which Segundo previously alleged were owed under the terms of the December 31, 2015 Asset Purchase Agreement. The Company and Segundo also provided each other full releases in connection with the December 31, 2015 Asset Purchase Agreement and Segundo agreed to indemnify the Company and hold it harmless against any claims made by the other sellers under the December 31, 2015 Asset Purchase Agreement. 

5 

 As discussed in “Note 6 – Notes Payable and Debenture”, the Company borrowed $40 million from International Bank of Commerce (“IBC” or “IBC Bank”) effective August 25, 2016. The proceeds of the loan were used to repay and refinance approximately $30.6 million of indebtedness owed by certain of the Sellers to IBC as part of the closing of the Acquisition. As of June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants of the loan agreement, including requiring the Company to maintain a net worth of $30 million, the Company was in default of the terms of the loan, and the balance of the loan due to IBC of $36.9 million (less unamortized debt issuance costs of approximately $1.3 million), was recognized as a short-term liability on the Company’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018. The Company also recognized approximately $0 and $39,000 in accrued interest as of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively related to this note. As discussed below, in September 2018, the Company assigned all of the obligations and liability under the IBC Bank documents to N&B Energy.

On April 6, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited institutional investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company sold and issued a redeemable convertible subordinated debenture, with a face amount of $530,000, initially convertible into 6,523 shares of common stock (subject to certain conversion premiums) at a conversion price equal to $3.25 per share and a warrant to initially purchase 55,385 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment thereunder) at an exercise price equal to $81.25 per share (the “First Warrant”). The Investor purchased the debenture at a 5.0% original issue discount in the amount of $500,000 and has exercised the First Warrant in full as described below for the sum of $4.5 million. Additionally, the Investor has fully converted the debenture as of the date of this filing.

Also on April 6, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the Investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed, subject to certain conditions, to issue up to 527 shares of Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) at a 5% original issue discount, convertible into 1,621,539 shares of common stock (subject to certain conversion premiums) at a conversion price of $3.25 per share, and a warrant to initially purchase 44,444 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $112.50 per share (the “Second Warrant”). Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Second Warrant and 53 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were sold and issued for $500,000 on September 2, 2016, and the remaining 474 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were sold and issued for $4.5 million on November 17, 2016.

In July and August 2016, RAD2 advanced the Company an aggregate of $350,000. Also, in August 2016, two other Sellers advanced the Company an aggregate of $200,000 ($100,000 each). These advances did not accrue interest and had no stated maturity date. Additionally, in August 2016, RAD2 loaned the Company $1.5 million pursuant to a promissory note. The promissory note did not accrue interest for the first month it was outstanding and accrued interest at the rate of 5% per annum thereafter until paid in full. The Company repaid the promissory note in full and all amounts advanced by RAD2 and the two other Sellers in October 2016.

On October 7, 2016, the Investor exercised the First Warrant in full and was due 55,385 shares of common stock upon exercise thereof and an additional 101,709 shares of common stock in consideration for the conversion premium due thereon. A total of 32,400 shares were issued to the Investor on October 7, 2016, with the remaining shares being held in abeyance until such time as it would not result in the Investor exceeding its beneficial ownership limitation (4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock), provided that all of such shares due to the Investor upon the exercise of the First Warrant have been issued to date. The Company received gross proceeds of $4,500,000 from the exercise of the First Warrant and paid placement agent fees of $427,500 for services rendered in connection with the First Warrant. Pursuant to the terms of the First Warrant, the number of shares due in consideration for the conversion premium increased as the annual rate of return under the First Warrant increased, including by 10% upon the occurrence of certain triggering events (which had occurred by the October 7, 2016 date of exercise), to 17% per annum upon the exercise of the First Warrant.

An aggregate of 4,417,911 shares of common stock were issued to the Investor in connection with the exercise of the Warrant during fiscal 2017 (200,000), fiscal 2018 (3,909,500), and 308,411 shares were issued in April 2018. The First Warrant has been fully-exercised and extinguished to date.

N&B Energy Asset Disposition Agreement

On July 12, 2018, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”), as seller, with N&B Energy, as purchaser, which entity is affiliated with Richard N. Azar II, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former director, and Donnie B. Seay, the Company’s former director. Pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to N&B Energy a substantial portion of its assets, including all of the assets acquired pursuant to the terms of the December 31, 2015 Asset Purchase Agreement with Segundo and certain other more recent acquisitions, other than the production payment and overriding royalty interests discussed below (the “Assets”). In consideration for the Assets, N&B Energy agreed to pay the Company $100 in cash, to assume all of the Company’s obligations and debt owed under its outstanding loan agreement with IBC Bank, which had a then outstanding principal balance of approximately $36.9 million and Segundo agreed to enter into the Segundo Settlement, described below.

IBC Bank Standstill Agreement

On August 3, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement in connection with the loan (the “Standstill Agreement”) with IBC Bank, which was effective August 1, 2018. Among other terms, described below, the Standstill Agreement was entered into to provide the Company sufficient time to close the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement. Pursuant to the Standstill Agreement:

(a) The Company confirmed that certain defaults had occurred under the terms of the Real Estate Lien Note dated August 25, 2016 (the “Note”) in the original principal amount of $40,000,000 (which had an outstanding principal balance of approximately $36.9 million), entered into pursuant to the Loan Agreement dated August 25, 2016 (the “Loan Agreement” and together with the Note, and the other documents entered into evidencing, documenting and securing the Loan, the “Loan Documents”);

(b) The Company, on behalf of it and its representatives, provided IBC Bank a release of all claims which it and such parties may have had as of the date of the Standstill Agreement;

(c) The Company agreed to certain venue requirements in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding the Company may file or have filed against it in the future, agreed to waive certain automatic stays provided under applicable bankruptcy law and confirmed IBC Bank’s security interests;

(d) IBC Bank agreed to stand still and not take any action to collect the indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents, prior to the earlier of (i) September 30, 2018, unless the closing date of the Sale Agreement is required to be extended due to no fault of the Company, due to the regulatory requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or NYSE American, in which case such date shall be automatically extended to no later than October 31, 2018, unless extended by both parties; or (ii) a default of the conditions of the stand still as set forth in the Standstill Agreement (collectively, the “Standstill Date”);

7 

(e) The Company agreed to certain conditions to the standstill, including:

(i) Depositing all funds in excess of $5,000 with IBC Bank by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 7, 2018 (the “Deadline”);

(ii) The Company pledging to IBC Bank prior to the Deadline, 87.5% of all of the Company’s right, title and interest to its assets located in Okfuskee County, Oklahoma and all wells, leasehold, mineral and surface interest, personal property, and all other property or assets located on or associated with said field owned by the Company that were recently purchased from Orion Energy (with the remaining 12.5% to be pledged to IBC Bank prior to the closing date of the Sale Agreement);

(iii) Paying all of IBC Bank’s expenses and reasonable attorney fees in connection with the Note prior to the Deadline;

(iv) Paying the June 2018 interest on the Note prior to the Deadline;

(v) Paying the July 2018 interest on the Note prior to the Deadline;

(vi) Agreeing to certain covenants and restrictions regarding the assets securing the Loan Documents during the stand still period; and

(vii) Confirming that during the stand still period, the per annum interest rate of the Note will be 3% above the New York Prime Rate, subject to a floor of 5.5% per annum, with a beginning interest rate of 8% per annum.

(f) IBC Bank agreed to allow the Company to undertake the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement, subject to the terms of the Standstill Agreement;

(g) IBC Bank agreed, that if the Company was ready, willing and able to close the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement, but N&B Energy was not ready to close such transaction, on or before the Standstill Date (as extended), that it could surrender the assets planned to be sold pursuant to the Sale Agreement to IBC Bank (which may be undertaken pursuant to a foreclosure of such assets); and

(h) That upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement or the surrender of such assets proposed to be sold pursuant to such Sale Agreement to IBC Bank (as discussed in (g) above), IBC Bank would pursue only the assets sold/surrendered, N&B Energy (if applicable) and the guarantors of the debt; enter into a novation and release in favor of the Company; and not pursue the Company for any deficiency in the amounts due under the Loan Documents, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Standstill Agreement.

First Amendment to Sale Agreement

Also on August 3, 2018, the Company and N&B Energy entered into a First Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement (the “First Amendment”), which amended the terms of the Sale Agreement to (a) modify, clarify and replace certain of the exhibits to the original Sale Agreement, including the terms of the overriding royalty interests and production payment agreed to be granted to the Company as part of such Sale Agreement; (b) amend the Sale Agreement to remove the requirement that the Company obtain shareholder approval prior to the closing of such Sale Agreement; and (c) include a deadline of August 31, 2018 for N&B Energy’s due diligence under the Sale Agreement.

8 

Additionally, in order to avoid the significant time required to file a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, clear comments with the Securities and Exchange Commission, hold a meeting and obtain shareholder approval, and because such shareholder approval was not required pursuant to applicable law or the rules of the NYSE American, the Company’s management determined to not seek shareholder approval, but to instead seek a third-party opinion as to the fairness of the transaction to the Company’s shareholders.

Second Amendment to Sale Agreement

On September 24, 2018, the Company, N&B Energy and CE Operating, LLC, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“CE Operating”), entered into a Second Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), which amended the terms of the Sale Agreement. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Company, N&B Energy and CE Operating agreed (a) to clarify that all of the representations of the Company made in the Sale Agreement relating to portions of the Assets held in the name of CE Operating shall be deemed made by CE Operating and not the Company and that CE Operating shall be deemed a party to the Sale Agreement, solely in order to make such representations; and (b) to extend the deadline for closing the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement to September 26, 2018, or such other date as the Company and N&B shall agree upon in writing.

Assumption Agreement

On September 26, 2018, the Company entered into an Assumption Agreement (the “Assumption Agreement”) with IBC Bank; CE Operating; N&B Energy, which entity is affiliated with Richard N. Azar, II, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former director (“Azar”), and Donnie B. Seay, the Company’s former director (“Seay”); Azar; RAD2 Minerals, Ltd., an entity owned and controlled by Azar (“RAD2”); Seay; and DBS Investments, Ltd., an entity owned and controlled by Seay. Azar, Seay, RAD2, and DBS are collectively referred to as the “Guarantors”.

Pursuant to the Assumption Agreement, N&B Energy agreed to assume all of the Company’s liabilities and obligations owed to IBC Bank under the Loan Documents, the amount due under and in connection which was secured by (a) an Oil and Gas Mortgage, Security Agreement, Financing Statement and Assignment of Production (Oklahoma) dated August 25, 2016, covering all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to certain oil, gas and mineral leases and/or minerals, mineral interests and estates located in Lincoln, Payne, and Logan Counties, Oklahoma; (b) an Oil and Gas Mortgage, Security Agreement, Financing Statement and Assignment of Production (Oklahoma) dated August 1, 2018, covering all of the Company’s right, title, and interest in and to certain oil, gas, and mineral leases and/or mineral interests and estates located in Okfuskee County, Oklahoma (collectively, the “Orion Interests”); and (c) the Mortgage, Deed of Trust, Assignment, Security Agreement and Financing Statement dated as of August 25, 2016, covering the Company’s mineral interests located in Glasscock County, Texas (collectively, the “West Texas Properties”).

Additionally, pursuant to the Assumption Agreement, IBC Bank approved the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement and the assumption by N&B Energy of all of the amounts and liabilities which the Company owed to IBC Bank (the “IBC Obligations”) and N&B Energy agreed to assume all of the IBC Obligations. Finally, pursuant to the Assumption Agreement, IBC Bank released and forever discharged the Company and CE Operating and each of their current and former officers, directors, and shareholders, from all covenants, agreements, obligations, claims and demands of any kind, whether in law or at equity, which IBC Bank then had, arising out of or related to the amounts which the Company owed to IBC Bank under the Note, Loan Agreement or mortgages and/or under such documents or agreements, and further agreed to release the lien which IBC Bank then held on the West Texas Properties.

N&B Energy Sale Agreement Closing

On September 26, 2018, the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement closed and N&B Energy assumed all of the IBC Obligations (pursuant to the Assumption Agreement described above) and paid the Company $100 in cash, and the Company transferred ownership of the Assets to N&B Energy.

9 

Notwithstanding the sale of the Assets, the Company retained its assets in Glasscock County and Hutchinson Counties, Texas and also retained a 12.5% production payment (effective until a total of $2.5 million has been received); a 3% overriding royalty interest in its existing Okfuskee County, Oklahoma asset; and retained an overriding royalty interest on certain other undeveloped leasehold interests, pursuant to an Assignment of Production Payment and Assignment of Overriding Royalty Interests.

The effective date of the Sale Agreement is August 1, 2018. The Assets were assigned “as is” with all faults.

As a result of the Assumption Agreement and the Sale Agreement, the Company reduced its liabilities by $37.9 million and its assets by approximately $12.1 million.

The following table summarizes the net assets sold and gain recognized in connection with the Assumption Agreement and Sale Agreement:

	Transaction Summary
Assumption of IBC Loan	$	36,943,617
Assumption of ARO Liability		699,536

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 The Company has provided a discussion of significant accounting policies, estimates and judgments in its March 31, 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies since March 31, 2018 which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform them with the current year presentation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, supersedes the revenue recognition requirements and industry-specific guidance under Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). Topic 606 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted Topic 606 on April 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts that were not completed as of April 1, 2018. Under the modified retrospective method, prior period financial positions and results will not be adjusted. The cumulative effect adjustment recognized in the opening balances included no significant changes as a result of this adoption. While the Company does not expect 2019 net earnings to be materially impacted by revenue recognition timing changes, Topic 606 requires certain changes to the presentation of revenues and related expenses beginning April 1, 2018. Refer to Note 9 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers for additional information.

In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) amending the presentation of restricted cash within the consolidated statements of cash flows. The new guidance requires that restricted cash be added to cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company adopted this ASU on April 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis with the following impacts to our consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2017:

	Previously Reported		Adjustment			As Revised
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	306,999	$	(1,517,086	)	$	(1,210,087	)

As of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the Company had restricted cash of $0 and $26,834 related to the loan agreement with IBC bank.

10 

Following is a summary of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash:

	September 30, 2018		March 31, 2018		September 30, 2017
Cash	$	5,331,578	$	760,317	$	85,983
Restricted cash – current		—		26,834		167,441
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	5,331,578	$	787,151	$	253,424

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). ASU 2016-15 seeks to reduce the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this ASU on April 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which amends the current definition of a business. Under ASU 2017-01, to be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contributes to the ability to create outputs. ASU 2017-01 further states that when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (or a group of similar assets), the assets acquired would not represent a business. The new guidance also narrows the definition of the term “outputs” to be consistent with how it is described in Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The changes to the definition of a business will likely result in more acquisitions being accounted for as asset acquisitions. The guidance is effective for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on April 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting”, which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company adopted this ASU on April 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 The Company does not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Oil and Gas Properties

Camber uses the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and natural gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells used to find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development wells including directly related overhead costs and related asset retirement costs are capitalized.

Under this method, all costs, including internal costs directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities are capitalized as oil and natural gas property costs on a country-by-country basis. Costs not subject to amortization consist of unproved properties that are evaluated on a property-by-property basis. Amortization of these unproved property costs begins when the properties become proved or their values become impaired. Camber assesses overall values of unproved properties, if any, on at least an annual basis or when there has been an indication that impairment in value may have occurred. Impairment of unproved properties is assessed based on management’s intention with regard to future development of individually significant properties and the ability of Camber to obtain funds to finance their programs. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is added to the capitalized costs to be amortized.

11 

Sales of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to the net full cost pool with no gain or loss recognized, unless the adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. If it is determined that the relationship is significantly altered, the corresponding gain or loss will be recognized in the statements of operations.

Costs of oil and natural gas properties are amortized using the units of production method. Amortization expense calculated per equivalent physical unit of production amounted to $4.45 and $5.75 per barrel of oil equivalent for the six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

All of Camber’s oil and gas properties are located in the United States. Below are the components of Camber’s oil and gas properties recorded at:

	September 30, 2018			March 31, 2018
Oil and gas properties subject to amortization	$	50,882,371		$	60,760,056
Oil and gas properties not subject to amortization		28,013,365			28,016,989
Capitalized asset retirement costs		161,130			322,470
Total oil and gas properties		79,056,866			89,099,515
Accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization		(77,770,225	)		(76,555,320	)
Net capitalized costs	$	1,286,641		$	12,544,195

For the six months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded impairments totaling $755,966, all if which were due to lease expirations.

Capital Leases

During March and April 2018, the Company purchased certain equipment pursuant to capital leases. The effective value of the equipment was approximately $575,000, and such amount is included in oil and gas properties and the corresponding current liability of approximately $387,000 is included in accrued expenses as of June 30, 2018. The effective borrowing rate is approximately 35%, and all obligations were due by December 2018. In conjunction with the assignment of the liabilities owed under the IBC Loan Agreement to N&B Energy in September 2018, as discussed under “Note 2 – Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations – Assumption Agreement” all of the remaining obligations were assumed by the purchaser. 

Other Property and Equipment

In February 2014, the Company purchased a field office for approximately $50,000 which is used to provide local operational support for its properties in the Eagleford and Austin Chalk areas. The land upon which the field office resides was initially leased by the Company over a three-year term beginning in January 2014 through December 2016, for yearly lease amounts of $7,200 and $7,800, and $8,400 over the three-year term, respectively. In January 2017, the Company renewed the lease on a year-to-year basis for $7,200. The field office was transferred as a part of the Release with Rogers. See “Note 6 – Notes Payable and Debenture” for further details.

Office Lease

On April 1, 2016, the Company entered into a lease agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease 4,439 square feet of office space at 450 Gears Road, Houston, Harris County, Texas 77067 (Suite 860, versus Suite 780 as was leased previously). The lease had a 65-month term (through August 2021), and commenced on April 1, 2016. The monthly rental cost under the lease was -$0- for the month of April 2016, and $7,676 for the months of May 2016 through April 2017, plus as applicable, its pro rata share of operating expenses and taxes which exceed the total operating expenses and taxes of the property for the first year of the lease. On March 31, 2017, the Company amended its lease at 450 Gears Road to expand to a total of 6,839 square feet, commencing on May 1, 2017. The amendment extended the lease period to November 2021.

12 

In August 2017, the Company ceased its use of this office space and moved its headquarters to San Antonio, Texas. The Company was committed to the remaining lease payments for the Houston office space for approximately $346,000 assuming an early termination of the lease on July 31, 2019, and has recently settled these amounts pursuant to a settlement agreement discussed below. The Company recorded monthly rent expense associated with the Houston lease through August 2017. In accordance with the accounting guidance in ASC 420-10-25-13 regarding exit or disposal cost obligations, as of August 2017, the Company recorded rent expense, within general and administrative expense, and accrued a liability of $302,289, which represents the fair value of costs that will continue to be incurred during the remaining term of the Houston lease without economic benefit to the Company. As of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the carrying amount of the liability of $302,289 and $302,289, respectively, was included in Current Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company wrote-off $189,533 of mostly fully depreciated property and equipment that was not re-located to the San Antonio headquarters, resulting in a loss of $3,368 which was recognized as a loss during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. In October 2018, the Company entered into a settlement with its prior landlord as described below under “Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies – Legal Proceedings – MidFirst”.

Effective October 1, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to sublease space on a month-to-month basis in San Antonio, Texas at 4040 Broadway, Suite 425, from RAD2 Minerals, Ltd., an entity owned and controlled by Mr. Azar, the Company’s former Interim Chief Executive Officer, who resigned as Interim CEO effective May 25, 2018 and resigned as a member of the Board of Directors on June 21, 2018. Monthly rent for October through December 2017 was $5,000 per month, increasing to $7,500 per month effective January 2018. The agreement was subsequently modified to have a month-to-month term at $2,500 per month, effective July 1, 2018.

Effective August 1, 2018, the Company terminated its month-to-month lease with RAD2 and entered into a month-to-month lease at 1415 Louisiana, Suite 3500 Houston, Texas 77002. The entity which has provided the use of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer is providing this space without charge to the Company.

Debenture

On April 6, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Investor, pursuant to which the Company issued a redeemable convertible subordinated debenture, with a face value of $530,000, initially convertible into 163,077 shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $3.25 per share and warrants to initially purchase 55,385 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment thereunder) at an exercise price equal to $81.25 per share (the “First Warrant”). The Investor purchased the debenture at a $30,000 original issue discount for the sum of $500,000 and agreed that it would exercise the First Warrant, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, for the sum of $4.5 million, which warrant was exercised in October 2016. The debenture matures in seven years and accrues interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum. Due to the decline in the price of the Company’s common stock and that a trigger event occurred on June 30, 2016 as a result of the delay in filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2016, the premium rate on the debenture increased from 6% to 34% and the conversion discount became 85% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price during the measuring period (60 days prior to and 60 days after the last date that the Investor receives the last of the shares due), less $0.10 per share of common stock not to exceed 85% of the lowest sales price on the last day of such period less $0.10 per share.

As the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the debenture exceeded the $530,000 value of the debenture, the Company fully discounted the entire debenture and will amortize the discount over the term of the debenture. The discount is being amortized through interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture.

On August 23, 2017, the Investor converted $35,000 of the principal amount of the Debenture into an aggregate of 70,189 shares of common stock, which included 431 shares for conversion of principal (at $81.25 per share) and 69,758 shares for premiums.

On April 20, 2018, the Investor was issued 141,982 shares of common stock as a result of true-ups in connection with the August 23, 2017 conversion of the Debenture.

As of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the Company had a convertible subordinated debenture with a balance of $293,628 and $247,403, respectively (net of unamortized discount of $201,372 and $247,597, respectively), which is recognized as a short-term liability on the Company’s balance sheets as of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively. The Company also recognized $422,104 and $388,183 in accrued interest as of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively.

On October 31, 2018, the Investor converted the entire $495,000 of principal owed under the terms of the debenture, into an aggregate of 20,037,653 shares of common stock, including 152,308 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the principal amount thereof (at a conversion price of $3.25 per share), and 19,885,345 shares in connection with conversion premiums due thereon (at a conversion price, as calculated as provided in such debenture, of $0.0609 per share). A total of 2,500,000 of such shares were issued to the Investor in connection with the conversion (an additional 3,272,000 shares were issued on November 5, 2018) and the remaining shares were held in abeyance subject to the Investor’s 9.99% ownership limitation, to be issued from time to time, at the request of the Investor.

Loan Agreement with International Bank of Commerce (“IBC” or “IBC Bank”)

On August 25, 2016, the Company, as borrower, and Azar, Seay, Richard E. Menchaca, RAD2, DBS Investments, Ltd. (“DBS”, controlled by Seay) and Saxum Energy, LLC (“Saxum”, which is controlled by Mr. Menchaca), as guarantors, all of which were directly or indirectly Sellers), and IBC Bank, as lender, entered into a Loan Agreement.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, IBC Bank loaned the Company $40 million, evidenced by a Real Estate Lien Note in the amount of $40 million. The Company was required to make monthly payments under the note equal to the greater of (i) $425,000; and (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s monthly net income. The note accrued annual interest at 2% above the prime rate then in effect, subject to a minimum interest rate of 5.5% per annum. The note was due and payable on August 25, 2019. Payments under the note were subject to change as the interest rate changes in order to sufficiently amortize the note in 120 monthly installments. The Company had the right, from time to time and without penalty to prepay the note in whole or in part, subject to the terms thereof.

The proceeds of the loan were used to repay and refinance approximately $30.6 million of indebtedness owed by certain of the Sellers, to IBC Bank (including an aggregate of $18.3 million owed by RAD2 and another entity controlled by Azar, $9.8 million owed by DBS, and $2.1 million owed by Mr. Menchaca), as well as to pay the $4.975 million due to the Sellers at closing. Another $3.36 million was used to fund a sinking fund required by IBC Bank, as discussed below, to pay principal on the note.

The amount owed under the note was secured by a Security Interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets and properties, pursuant to three Security Agreements. Also, each of the guarantors guaranteed the repayment of a portion of the Loan Agreement pursuant to a Limited Guaranty Agreement. Additionally, in connection with the parties’ entry into the Loan Agreement and to further secure amounts due thereunder, certain of the guarantors pledged shares of common stock which they received at the closing of the Acquisition to IBC Bank, with RAD2 pledging 124,824 shares of common stock; DBS pledging 37,437 shares of common stock; and Saxum pledging 26,936 shares of common stock.

The Company agreed to pay IBC Bank a loan finance charge of $400,000 in connection with its entry into the Loan Agreement, with half due on the date the Company entered into the Loan Agreement and half due on or before the 180^th day following the date of the Loan Agreement. As further consideration for agreeing to the terms of the Loan, the Company agreed to issue IBC Bank 15,612 shares of common stock. The Company recognized a $2.8 million note discount related to these transactions and other debt issuance costs and will amortize the discount and debt issuance costs over the term of the note.

On September 8, 2017, the Company received a Notice of Default and Opportunity to Cure (the “Notice”) from IBC, stating that the Company was in default under its loan due to failing to make a required $425,000 loan payment on August 25, 2017 (the “Payment Default”). The Notice was also sent to the guarantors under the Loan Agreement. The Notice also cited the Company for several covenant defaults including exceeding a cap on monthly general and administrative expenses; falling below $30 million of net worth; failing to comply with certain post-closing covenants regarding the assignment of certain oil and gas interests, the execution of certain supplemental mortgages and the completion of certain curative title requirements; failing to pay costs and expenses required pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement; failing to meet the requirements of a cash flow test as described in greater detail in the Loan Agreement; and exceeding the loan to value determination provided for in the Loan Agreement.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY 

The Company has determined that certain warrants the Company has issued contain provisions that protect holders from future issuances of the Company’s common stock at prices below such warrants’ respective exercise prices and these provisions could result in modification of the warrants’ exercise price based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option as defined under FASB ASC Topic No. 815 – 40. The warrants granted in April 2014 contain anti-dilution provisions that provide for a reduction in the exercise price of such warrants in the event that future common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) is issued (or becomes contractually issuable) at a price per share (a “Lower Price”) that is less than the exercise price of such warrant at the time. The amount of any such adjustment is determined in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement and depends upon the number of shares of common stock issued (or deemed issued) at the Lower Price and the extent to which the Lower Price is less than the exercise price of the warrant at the time.

Activities for derivative warrant instruments during the six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

	2018		2017
Carrying amount at beginning of period	$	5	$	21,662
Change in fair value		—		(20,891	)
Carrying amount at end of period	$	5	$	771

The fair value of the derivative warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Variables used in the Black Scholes pricing model as of September 30, 2018 include (1) discount rate of 2.59%, (2) expected term of 0.56 years, (3) expected volatility of 227.10%, and (4) zero expected dividends. Variables used in the Black-Scholes pricing model as of September 30, 2017 include (1) discount rate of 1.47%, (2) expected term of 2 years, (3) expected volatility of 162.52%, and (4) zero expected dividends.

As of September 30, 2018, the significant inputs to the Company’s derivative liability calculation were Level 3 inputs.

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 The Company entered into multiple office lease agreements, see detail under “Note 4 – Property and Equipment – Office Leases”.

The Company was the beneficiary through the release of interest in disputed lease interests from Petroflow to the Company that provides the Company with complete control over those properties to renew expired leases and to have 100% of the drilling rights related to those properties. Sezar Energy and Brittany Energy have assigned any interests they may have had in conjunction with litigation in exchange for the Company making the agreed settlement payments of $475,000 plus direct payments and reimbursement of the legal costs paid on behalf of the defendants by Mr. Dreeben. Total legal fees expended by such entities totaled $392,043, and the Company reimbursed such fees by issuing Mr. Dreeben 78,409 shares of common stock with a value of $0.20 per share in November 2017.

A total of 32,400 shares were issued to the Investor on October 7, 2016, with the remaining shares being held in abeyance until such time as it would not result in the Investor exceeding its beneficial ownership limitation (4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock).

Additionally, as the conversion rate for the conversion premium is currently 85% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price during the measuring period, less $0.10 per share of common stock not to exceed 85% of the lowest sales prices on the last day of such period less $0.10 per share, the number of shares issuable in connection with the conversion premium increases as the trading price of the Company’s common stock decreases, and the trading price of the Company’s common stock has decreased since the date the First Warrant was exercised, triggering a further reduction in the conversion price of the conversion premium and an increase in the number of shares due to the Investor in connection with the conversion of the amount owed in connection with the conversion premium. An aggregate of 4,417,911 shares of common stock were issued to the Investor in connection with the exercise of the Warrant during fiscal 2017 (200,000), fiscal 2018 (3,909,500), and 308,411 shares were issued in April 2018.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock 

On April 19, 2016, the holder of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, agreed to convert all 500 shares of their outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into 800 shares of the Company’s common stock (a conversion ratio of 1.6:1 as provided in the original designation of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock adjusted for the Company’s 1:25 reverse stock split effective on July 25, 2015 and the Company’s 1:25 reverse stock split effective March 5, 2018), which conversion was completed on April 25, 2016. The Company paid the holder $20,000 in connection with such conversion in order to comply with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement that required that no shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock be outstanding at the closing. As of September 30, 2018, and March 31, 2018, respectively, the Company had no Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued or outstanding.  

Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

On September 1, 2016, as consideration for the closing of the Acquisition, the Company issued an aggregate of 552,000 shares of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, which had a total value of $13,800,000 based on the $25 per Series B Preferred Stock share par value. The preferred shares were issued to RAD2 (200,000 shares) and Segundo Resources, LLC (an affiliate of RAD2) (352,000 shares) on behalf of and for the benefit of RAD2.

The Company’s Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $25 per share. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder at any time following the original issuance date, into common stock at a rate of approximately 0.2857:1 (originally issuable into an aggregate of 157,714 shares of common stock if fully converted), at the option of the holder thereof, or automatically as to 25% of the Series B Preferred Stock shares if the Company’s common stock trades above $153.13 per share for at least 20 consecutive trading days, and trades with at least 3,000 shares of average volume per day during such period; an additional 50% of the Series B Preferred Stock shares if the Company’s common stock trades above $175.00 per share for at least 20 consecutive trading days, and trades with at least 3,000 shares of average volume per day during such period; and as to the remaining Series B Preferred Stock shares, if the Company’s common stock trades above $196.88 per share for at least 20 consecutive trading days, and trades with at least 3,000 shares of average volume per day during such period. Each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to one vote per share on all stockholder matters. The Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable at any time by the Company upon the payment by the Company of the face amount of the Series B Preferred Stock ($25 per share) plus any and all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon.

20 

The Company has the option, exercisable from time to time after the original issue date, to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock by paying each applicable holder, an amount equal to the original issue price multiplied by the number of Series B Preferred shares held by each applicable holder plus the accrued dividends.

As of September 30, 2018, there were 408,508 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, which have the following features:

● a liquidation preference senior to all of the Company’s common stock;

● a dividend, payable quarterly, at an annual rate of six percent (6%) of the original issue price until such Series B Preferred Stock is no longer outstanding either due to conversion, redemption or otherwise; and

● voting rights on all matters, with each share having 1/25^th of one vote.

 As the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at any time following the original issuance date into common stock at a rate of approximately 0.2857:1, the Company recognized a fair value measurement of $14,898,038 for the Series B Preferred Stock, which is based on the 552,000 preferred shares originally issued times the conversion rate of approximately 0.2857, times the price of the Company’s common stock of $94.50 per share at the date of the closing of the Acquisition on August 25, 2016.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued a stock dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock consisting of 1,751 shares (with fair value $833 based on a share price of $0.50 per share at September 30, 2018) of the Company’s common stock. Due to the fact that the Company is in a retained deficit position, the Company recognized a charge to additional paid in-capital of $881 and stock dividends distributable but not issued based on the par value of the common stock issued. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued 1,751 shares to settle a stock dividend accrued on Series B Preferred Stock.

Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

On April 6, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the Investor, pursuant to which it agreed, subject to certain conditions, to sell 527 shares of Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock (with a face value of $5.26 million) at a 5% original issue discount of $263,000, convertible into 64,738 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $3.25 per share, and a warrant to purchase 44,444 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $112.50 per share (the “Second Warrant”).

On September 2, 2016, the Second Warrant and 53 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were issued for $526,450 ($500,000, net cash proceeds to Camber) after the Acquisition (as defined and described in “Note 2 – Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations”) closed. The prorated share of the $263,000 discount ($26,450) was recorded as reduction to additional paid in capital. On November 17, 2016, the remaining 474 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were issued for $4,736,550 ($4,500,000, net cash proceeds to Camber) and the Company paid placement agent and legal fees of $514,000 for services rendered in connection with the issuance. The Company also recognized $236,550 of the remaining 5% original issue discount, which was recorded as reduction to additional paid in capital.

On October 5, 2017, the Company and the Investor entered into the October 2017 Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which (1) the Investor purchased 212 shares of Series C Preferred Stock on the closing date of the agreement, October 4, 2017 (the “Initial Closing”), for $2 million, and agreed, subject to certain closing conditions set forth in the agreement, agreed to purchase (2) 106 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $1,000,000, 10 days after the Initial Closing (which closing occurred on November 21, 2017); (3) 105 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $1,000,000, 10 days after the second closing (which closing occurred on December 27, 2017); (4) 105 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $1,000,000, 10 days after the third closing (which closing occurred on January 30, 2018); (5) 105 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $1,000,000, 10 days after the fourth closing; (6) 525 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $5,000,000, 30 days after the fifth closing; and (7) 525 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $5,000,000, 30 days after the sixth Closing.

21 

On October 5, 2017, the Company and the Investor entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, amended on March 2, 2018 (as amended, the “October 2017 Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, pursuant to the terms thereof, 1,684 shares of our Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) for $16 million (a 5% original issue discount to the face value of such shares), subject to certain conditions set forth therein.

On March 2, 2018, the Company and the Investor entered into an amendment to the October 2017 Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”), pursuant to which the Investor (a) waived any and all Trigger Events (as defined in the certificate of designation of the Series C Preferred Stock (the “Designation”)) that had occurred prior to March 2, 2018, (b) agreed that all calculations provided for in the Designation would be made as if no such Trigger Event had occurred, and (c) waived any right to receive any additional shares of common stock based upon any such Trigger Event, with respect to all shares of Series C Preferred Stock, other than any which have already been converted.

During the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company sold the Investor an aggregate of 633 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $6 million under the terms of the October 2017 Purchase Agreement.

22 

The Investor also agreed, pursuant to the amendment, that the conversion rate of conversion premiums pursuant to the Designation would remain 95% of the average of the lowest 5 individual daily volume weighted average prices during the applicable Measuring Period (as defined in the Designation), not to exceed 100% of the lowest sales prices on the last day of the Measuring Period, less $0.05 per share of common stock, unless a triggering event has occurred, and that such $0.05 per share discount would not be adjusted in connection with the Company’s previously reported 1-for-25 reverse stock split affected on March 5, 2018.

The holder of the Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to cumulative dividends through maturity, which initially totaled 6% per annum, and are adjustable to up to 34.95% per annum, based on certain triggering events and the trading price of the Company’s common stock, and which currently total 34.95% per annum, payable in full through maturity upon redemption, conversion, or maturity, and when, as and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion. The Series C Preferred Stock ranks senior to the common stock and pari passu with respect to the Company’s Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock.

The Series C Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of common stock at any time at the option of the holder, or at the Company’s option if certain equity conditions (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) are met. Upon conversion, we will pay the holder of the Series C Preferred Stock being converted an amount, in cash or stock at the Company’s sole discretion, equal to the dividends that such shares would have otherwise earned if they had been held through the maturity date (7 years), and issue to the holder such number of shares of common stock equal to $10,000 per share of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Face Value”) multiplied by the number of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock divided by the conversion rate ($3.25 per share).

The conversion premium under the Series C Preferred Stock is payable and the dividend rate under the Series C Preferred Stock is adjustable on the same terms and conditions as accrued interest is payable and adjustable under the Debenture. The Series C Preferred Stock has a maturity date that is seven years after the date of issuance and, if the Series C Preferred Stock has not been wholly converted into shares of common stock prior to such date, we may redeem the Series C Preferred Stock on such date by repaying to the holder in cash 100% of the Face Value plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon. 100% of the Face Value, plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, automatically becomes payable in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up by us.

During the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2018, the Company sold 735 and 945 shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the October 2017 Purchaser Agreement, for total consideration of $7 million and $9 million, respectively.

Pursuant to the terms of the First Warrant, the number of shares due in consideration for the conversion premium increases as the annual rate of return under the First Warrant increases, including by 10% upon the occurrence of certain triggering events (which had occurred by the October 7, 2016 date of exercise), to 17% per annum upon the exercise of the First Warrant. Additionally, as the conversion rate for the conversion premium is currently 85% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price during the measuring period, less $0.10 per share of common stock not to exceed 85% of the lowest sales prices on the last day of such period less $0.10 per share, the number of shares issuable in connection with the conversion premium increases as the trading price of the Company’s common stock decreases, and the trading price of the Company’s common stock has decreased since the date the First Warrant was exercised, triggering a further reduction in the conversion price of the conversion premium and an increase in the number of shares due to the Investor in connection with the conversion of the amount owed in connection with the conversion premium. Additionally, pursuant to the interpretation of the Investor, the measurement period for the calculation of the lowest daily volume weighted average price currently continues indefinitely.

An aggregate of 4,417,911 shares of common stock were issued to the Investor in connection with the exercise of the Warrant during fiscal 2017 (200,000), 2018 (3,909,500), and 308,411 shares were issued in April 2018. The First Warrant has been fully-exercised and extinguished to date.

At September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, outstanding warrants had an intrinsic value of $0 and $232, respectively. The intrinsic value is based upon the difference between the market price of Camber’s common stock on the date of exercise and the grant price of the stock options.

The following is a summary of the Company’s outstanding warrants at September 30, 2018:

Warrants			Exercise		Expiration		Intrinsic Value at

Overview

Camber Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation, is an independent oil and natural gas company based in Houston, Texas. We are engaged in the acquisition, development and sale of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids from various known productive geological formations, including the Cline shale and upper Wolfberry shale in Glasscock County, Texas as well as its productive zones in the Panhandle in Hutchinson County, Texas Incorporated in Nevada in December 2003 under the name Panorama Investments Corp., the Company changed its name to Lucas Energy, Inc. effective June 9, 2006 and effective January 4, 2017, the Company changed its name to Camber Energy, Inc.

Our primary value drivers are our reserves which must be developed to unlock their full potential. We believe the market conditions driving us toward the need for a larger entity of greater size and financial mass are even more essential in the current environment. In order to develop the significant reserves at our disposal and to better position the Company in the future, we believe that we must become, or become part of, a larger organization with ample cash flow and greater access to capital. Measures such as return on equity, liquidity and stock multiples have led us to conclude that the market, in general, views small-cap and mid-cap exploration and production companies as having greater potential than microcaps. The larger companies tend to have access to more favorable debt financing, receive greater analyst coverage, trade with greater liquidity and consequently, often have higher share prices.

30 

Currently, we are continuing to evaluate and conduct workovers and moving forward, the Company intends to acquire producing/non-producing properties at value prices and participate in joint ventures with industry partners with the goal of enhancing production and cash flow.

The Company continues to evaluate its current assets including potential dispositions if there is potential to increase its net worth. Concurrently, the Company is working to build on the remaining platform and technical capacity created by our recent asset acquisitions described below. We intend to create a growth company capable of delivering on the long-expected conversion of reserves to production, continued long-term growth and sustainable shareholder value.

Our website address is http://www.camber.energy. Our fiscal year ends on the last day of March of each year. The information on, or that may be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference into this report and should not be considered a part of this report. We refer to the twelve-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 as our 2019 Fiscal Year and 2018 Fiscal Year, respectively.

As of September 30, 2018, the Company had leasehold interests (working interests) covering approximately 3,488 / 19,822 (net / gross) acres, productive from the Cline and Wolfberry formations. The remaining Texas acreage consists of leasehold covering approximately 478.125 / 637.5 (net / gross) acres and wellbores located in the Panhandle in Hutchinson County, Texas, which was acquired by the Company earlier this year.

As of September 30, 2018, Camber was producing an average of approximately 42 net barrels of oil equivalent per day (“Boepd”) from over 20 active well bores. The ratio between the gross and net production varies due to varied working interests and net revenue interests in each well. Our production sales totaled 106,283 barrels of oil equivalent, net to our interest, for the six month period ended September 30, 2018.

At September 30, 2018, Camber’s total estimated proved reserves were 577 million barrels of oil equivalent (“Boe”), of which 298 million barrels (“Bbls”) were crude oil reserves, and 2,432 billion cubic feet (“Bcf”) were natural gas reserves. Approximately 3% of the barrel of oil equivalent (“Boe”) was proved producing.

As of September 30, 2018, Camber had no employees, but utilizes independent contractors on an as-needed basis.

On July 12, 2018, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, which closed on September 26, 2018, described in greater detail above under “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 2 – Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations – N&B Energy Asset Disposition Agreement”, “First Amendment to Sale Agreement”, “Second Amendment to Sale Agreement”, “Assumption Agreement”, and “N&B Energy Sale Agreement Closing”. Pursuant to the Sale Agreement and Assumption Agreement, the Company transferred a significant portion of its assets to N&B Energy in consideration for N&B Energy assuming all of its debt owed to IBC Bank.

Notwithstanding the sale of the Assets, the Company retained its assets in Glasscock County and Hutchinson Counties, Texas, and also retained a 12.5% production payment (effective until a total of $2.5 million has been received); a 3% overriding royalty interest in its existing Okfuskee County, Oklahoma asset; and an overriding royalty interest on certain other undeveloped leasehold interests, pursuant to an Assignment of Production Payment and Assignments of Overriding Royalty Interests.

The Company’s current plans are to continue to develop and maintain our existing assets and look for similar opportunities to maximize the Company’s return for its shareholders. We will be evaluating acquisition and development opportunities adjacent to these assets as well as in basins with similar levels of risk. The Company is also evaluating strategic growth opportunities with other assets and entities to increase the Company’s mass to ultimately enhance long-term shareholder value.

Industry Segments

Our operations are all crude oil and natural gas exploration and production related.

Operations and Oil and Gas Properties

We operate and invest in areas that are known to be productive, with a reasonably established production history, in order to decrease geological and exploratory risk. The Company has certain interests in wells producing from the Wolfberry and Cline formations in Glasscock County, Texas.

Additionally, in March 2018, we completed the acquisition of working interests in certain leases, wells and equipment located in the Texas panhandle and a 75% ownership of two partnerships that owned certain leases, wells and equipment in the same fields, for a total purchase price of $250,000, payable in three tranches, from an entity which is controlled by Ian Acrey who serves as the operating manager of our operations through a different entity. A payment of $85,000 was due at closing; $85,000 was due thirty days after closing and $80,000 was due sixty days after closing. Camber earned 25% of the working interest at the closing and earned an additional 25% of the working interest at each of the two subsequent closings. The seller retained a 25% carried working interest in the assets. The acquisition includes 49 non-producing well bores, 5 saltwater disposal wells and the required infrastructure and equipment necessary to support future hydrocarbon production as well as approximately 500 net leasehold acres in Hutchinson County, Texas. At least 33 of the wells are now producing.

Financing

A summary of our financing transactions, funding agreements and other material funding transactions can be found under “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 2 – Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations”, “Note 6 – Note Payables and Debenture”, “Note 10 – Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)” and “Note 15 – Subsequent Events”, above.

In addition to the transactions noted above, Camber is continuing to review and evaluate potential financing transactions, through the sale of debt or equity in order to fulfill our current obligations and capital requirements, which we believe, if finalized and completed, will ensure the future viability of the Company.

Our limited cash position and significant liabilities raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

32 

Market Conditions and Commodity Prices

Our financial results depend on many factors, particularly the price of natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil and our ability to market our production on economically attractive terms. Commodity prices are affected by many factors outside of our control, including changes in market supply and demand, which are impacted by weather conditions, inventory storage levels, basis differentials and other factors. As a result, we cannot accurately predict future commodity prices and, therefore, we cannot determine with any degree of certainty what effect increases or decreases in these prices will have on our production volumes or revenues. In addition to production volumes and commodity prices, finding and developing sufficient amounts of natural gas and crude oil reserves at economical costs are critical to our long-term success. We expect prices to remain volatile for the remainder of the year. For information about the impact of realized commodity prices on our crude oil revenues, refer to “Results of Operations” below.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The majority of the numbers presented below are rounded numbers and should be considered as approximate. 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 2017

We reported net income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 of $23.2 million, or $0.58 per share of common stock. For the same period a year ago, we reported a net loss of $(6.2) million or $(4.25) per share of common stock. As discussed in more detail below, our net income increased by $29.2 million, primarily due to the sale which closed in September 2018.

The following table sets forth the operating results and production data for the periods indicated:

There was a decrease in lease operating expense of approximately $0.6 million when comparing the current quarter to the prior year quarter. The decrease is primarily due to the sale closed in September 2018.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion (DD&A)

DD&A decreased for the current quarter as compared to the prior year's quarter by approximately $0.3 million primarily related to the decrease in total depreciable assets caused by the sale closed in September 2018.

Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties

Impairment expense of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to prior year’s period by $1.4 million decreased primarily due to fewer leasehold expirations during the current quarter.

General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses and Share-Based Compensation

G&A expenses decreased by approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the prior year’s period. The decrease was due primarily lower costs due to sale closed in September 2018. 

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 decreased by approximately $2.0 million when compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, due to the assignment of the IBC loan related to the sale closed in September 2018.  

Gain on Sale of Oil and Gas Properties

The gain on sale of oil and gas properties was $25.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $0 for the same three-month period ended September 30, 2017 due to the sale closed in September 2018.

Other Expense (Income), Net

Other expense (income), net, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased by $17,389, compared to the same period ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to an increase in other miscellaneous receipts.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2018 vs. Six Months Ended September 30, 2017

We reported net income for the six months ended September 30, 2018 of $19.7 million, or $0.79 per share of common stock. For the same period a year ago, we reported a net loss of $(9.3) million or $(7.25) per share of common stock. As discussed in more detail below, the change was due to sale closed in September 2018.

Lease Operating Expenses

There was a decrease in lease operating expense of approximately $0.3 million when comparing the six months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the prior year’s period. The decrease is due primarily to the reduction in properties due to the sale that closed in September 2018.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion (DD&A)

DD&A decreased for the six months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the prior year's period by approximately $0.5 million primarily related to the decrease in properties due to the sale closed in September 2018.

Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties

Impairment decreased for the six months ended September 30, 2018, compared to prior year’s period by approximately $1.4 million. The decline in impairment was due to fewer expirations of leaseholds in the current quarter.

General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses and Share-Based Compensation

G&A expenses increased by approximately $0.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the prior year’s period. The increase was due primarily to costs surrounding the sale closed in September 2018.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the six months ended September 30, 2018 decreased by approximately $1.9 million when compared to the six-month period ended September 30, 2017 due primarily to the assignment of the IBC loan in connection with the sale that closed in September 2018.

Gain on Sale of Oil and Gas Properties

The gain on sale of oil and gas properties was $25.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $0 for the same six-month period ended September 30, 2017, due to the sale closed in September 2018.

Other Expense (Income), net

Other expense, net, for the six months ended September 30, 2018 decreased by $13,555 when compared to the six months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to lower miscellaneous revenues.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Our primary sources of cash for the six months ended September 30, 2018 were from funds generated from the sale of preferred stock, the sale of natural gas and crude oil production and funds borrowed under funding agreements. These cash flows were primarily used to fund our capital expenditures and operations and to repay indebtedness. See below for an additional discussion and analysis of cash flow.

Working Capital

At September 30, 2018, the Company’s total current assets of $5.5 million exceeded its total current liabilities of $4.4 million, resulting in a working capital of $1.1 million, while at March 31, 2018, the Company’s total current liabilities of $40.3 million exceeded its total current assets of $1.7 million, resulting in a working capital deficit of $38.6 million. The $39.7 million increase in the working capital surplus is primarily due to the assignment of the liabilities owed under the IBC Loan Agreement to N&B Energy in September 2018, as discussed below under “Note 2 - Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations - Assumption Agreement”.

36 

A summary of our financing transactions, recent funding agreements and other funding transactions can be found under “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 2 – Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations”, “Note 6 – Note Payables and Debenture”, “Note 10 – Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)” and “Note 15 – Subsequent Events”, above.

Cash Flows

	Six Months Ended September 30,
	2018			2017
Cash flows used in operating activities	$	(1,833,776	)	$	(687,580	)
Cash flows used in investing activities		(2,623,797	)		(238,670	)
Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities		9,000,000			(1,210,087	)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and restricted cash	$	4,542,427		$	(2,134,337	)

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $0.7 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in net cash used in operating activities of $1.1 million was primarily related to higher G&A costs and declines in revenue.

Net cash used in investing activities was $2.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2018, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $0.2 million for the same period a year ago. The increase of $2.4 million in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to increased spending on properties and lower cash receipts from sales of properties.

We had net cash provided by financing activities of $9.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2018, compared to having net cash used by financing activities of $1.2 million for the same period a year ago, which $10.2 million increase was primarily due to the sales of Preferred C shares.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. We are exposed to risks related to increases in the prices of fuel and raw materials consumed in exploration, development and production. We currently do not engage in commodity price hedging activities.

Commodity Price Risk

Our revenues are derived from the sale of our crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production. Based on projected sales volumes for the remainder of our fiscal year, changes in the prices we receive for our crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production could have a significant impact on our revenues.

We may seek to reduce our exposure to commodity price volatility by hedging a portion of production through commodity derivative instruments. In the settlement of a typical hedge transaction, we will have the right to receive from the counterparties to the hedge the excess of the fixed price specified in the hedge over a floating price based on a market index multiplied by the quantity hedged. If the floating price exceeds the fixed price, we are required to pay the counterparties this difference multiplied by the quantity hedged.

We would be required to pay this difference regardless of whether we have sufficient production to cover the quantities specified in the hedge. Significant reductions in production at times when the floating price exceeds the fixed price could require us to make payments under the hedge agreements even though such payments are not offset by sales of production. Hedging may also prevent us from receiving the full advantage of increases in oil or gas prices above the fixed amount specified in the hedge.

37 

Interest Rate Risk

We may seek to reduce our exposure to interest volatility through financial instruments such as interest rate swap agreements to manage the interest rate on our variable rate debt. Under these arrangements, we would agree to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts, calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The Company’s management, including the interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer) concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2018.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

38 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 Camber is periodically named in legal actions arising from normal business activities. Camber evaluates the merits of these actions and, if it determines that an unfavorable outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated, Camber will establish the necessary reserves. We are not currently involved in legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. We may become involved in material legal proceedings in the future.

MidFirst 

In October 2018, the Company entered into a confidential settlement agreement with MidFirst Bank, its prior landlord and settled all claims relating to the Company’s prior office space lease.

Maranatha Oil Matter

In November 2015, Randy L. Robinson, d/b/a Maranatha Oil Co. sued the Company in Gonzales County, Texas (Cause No. 26160). The plaintiff alleged that it assigned oil and gas leases to the Company in April 2010, retaining a 4% overriding royalty interest and 50% working interest and that the Company failed to pay such overriding royalty interest or royalty interest. The interests relate to certain oil and gas properties which the Company subsequently sold to Nordic Oil USA in April 2013. The petition alleges causes of actions for breach of contract, failure to pay royalties, non-payment of working interest, fraud, fraud in the inducement of contract, money had and received, constructive trust, violation of theft liability act, continuing tort and fraudulent concealment. The suit seeks approximately $100,000 in amounts alleged owed, plus pre-and post-judgment interest. We have filed a denial to the claims.

Rubenstein Matter

On September 28, 2017, Aaron Rubenstein, a purported shareholder of the Company’s common stock, filed a lawsuit against the Company (as nominal defendant) and Richard N. Azar II, it’s then Chief Executive Officer and director (who has since resigned from both positions), RAD2 Management, LLC, RAD2 Minerals, Ltd. and Segundo Resources, LLC, each an entity owned and controlled by Mr. Azar, in the United States District Court, Western District of Texas (Case No. 5:17-cv-962-FB).  The suit seeks the recovery (for the benefit of the Company) of alleged short-swing profits from Mr. Azar and his related entities under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act relating to various transactions involving Series B Preferred Stock of the Company in November 2016 and January 2017. Mr. Azar denied the existence of any short-swing profits and filed a denial with the court. The Company also filed a denial with the court.

The parties are currently in discussions regarding a settlement of the plaintiff’s claims. Following the date of this filing the Company anticipates entering into a settlement agreement and that the plaintiff will file a dismissal of the plaintiff’s claims with the court.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2018, filed with the Commission on July 2, 2018 (the “Form 10-K”), except as provided and discussed below, and investors should review the risks provided below and in the Form 10-K prior to making an investment in the Company.

39 

We are currently not in compliance with NYSE American continued listing standards and if we are unable to maintain compliance with NYSE American continued listing standards, our common stock may be delisted from the NYSE American equities market, which would likely cause the liquidity and market price of our common stock to decline.

Our common stock is currently listed on the NYSE American. The NYSE American will consider suspending dealings in, or delisting, securities of an issuer that does not meet its continued listing standards. If we cannot meet the NYSE American continued listing requirements, the NYSE American may delist our common stock, which could have an adverse impact on us and the liquidity and market price of our stock.

We may be unable to comply with NYSE American continued listing standards. Our business has been and may continue to be affected by worldwide macroeconomic factors, which include uncertainties in the credit and capital markets. External factors that affect our stock price, such as liquidity requirements of our investors, as well as our performance, could impact our market capitalization, revenue and operating results, which, in turn, could affect our ability to comply with the NYSE American’s listing standards. The NYSE American has the ability to suspend trading in our common stock or remove our common stock from listing on the NYSE American if in the opinion of the exchange: (a) the financial condition and/or operating results of the Company appear to be unsatisfactory; or (b) it appears that the extent of public distribution or the aggregate market value of our common stock has become so reduced as to make further dealings on the exchange inadvisable; or (c) we have sold or otherwise disposed of our principal operating assets, or have ceased to be an operating company; or (d) we have failed to comply with our listing agreements with the exchange (which include that we receive additional listing approval from the exchange prior to us issuing any shares of common stock, something we have inadvertently failed to comply with in the past); or (e) any other event shall occur or any condition shall exist which makes further dealings on the exchange unwarranted.

On August 3, 2017, we received notice from the NYSE American that the Company is not in compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i) through (iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide in that we reported a stockholders’ deficit of $10.6 million as of March 31, 2017 and net losses in our five most recent fiscal years then ended, meaning that we (i) had stockholders’ equity of less than $2,000,000 and sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of our three most recent fiscal years; (ii) had stockholders’ equity of less than $4,000,000 and sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of our four most recent fiscal years; and (iii) had stockholders’ equity of less than $6,000,000 and sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in our five most recent fiscal years. In order to maintain our listing on the Exchange, the Exchange had requested that the Company submit a plan of compliance by September 5, 2017 addressing how the Company intends to regain compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of the Company Guide by August 3, 2018. The Exchange extended the date to submit a plan to September 20, 2017 and the plan was submitted timely by the extended deadline.

On October 5, 2017, we received an additional notification from the Exchange that our securities had been selling for a low price per share for a substantial period of time and that the Company’s common stock had a 30-day average price below $0.20 as of October 5, 2017. Pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide, the NYSE American staff determined that the Company’s continued listing was predicated on it effecting a reverse stock split of its common stock or otherwise demonstrating sustained price improvement within a reasonable period of time, which the staff determined to be until April 5, 2018. Effective on March 5, 2018, we affected a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock which satisfied the NYSE American’s continued listing requirements as to the trading price of our common stock.

On November 3, 2017, the Company was notified that the Exchange accepted the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the Exchange’s continued listing standards set forth in Sections 1003(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of the Company Guide by August 3, 2018, subject to periodic review by the Exchange for compliance with the initiatives set forth in the plan.

40 

On July 17, 2018, the Exchange granted the Company an extension for compliance with its listing requirements through December 15, 2018, subject to compliance with initiatives outlined in the Company’s compliance plan.

If the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by December 15, 2018, or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the plan during the plan period, the NYSE Regulation staff may initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate.

If we are unable to regain compliance with the NYSE American criteria for continued listing, our common stock would be subject to delisting. A delisting of our common stock could negatively impact us by, among other things, reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock and reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing. In addition, delisting from the NYSE American might negatively impact our reputation and, as a consequence, our business. Additionally, if we were delisted from the NYSE American and we are not able to list our common stock on another national exchange we will no longer be eligible to use Form S-3 registration statements (which we are currently unable to use due to our prior defaults with IBC Bank) and will instead be required to file a Form S-1 registration statement for any primary or secondary offerings of our common stock, which would delay our ability to raise funds in the future, may limit the type of offerings of common stock we could undertake, and would increase the expenses of any offering, as, among other things, registration statements on Form S-1 are subject to SEC review and comments whereas take downs pursuant to a previously filed Form S-3 are not.

The full amount of premiums, interest and dividends through the maturity date of each applicable security held by the Investor is due upon the repayment/redemption (where applicable), exercise or conversion, as applicable, of the Series C Preferred Stock.

The Series C Preferred Stock provides that all applicable dividends (due under the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock), which initially accrued in the amount of 6% per annum and which increase or decrease subject to the terms of the applicable securities, based on among other things, the trading price of the Company’s common stock, up to a maximum of 34.95% per annum (which interest rate is currently 34.95% for the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock sold in October 2017 and 34.95% for the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock sold in October 2018), are due upon conversion or redemption thereof, for the full seven year term of such securities.

The requirement that we pay all premiums and dividends through maturity and the adjustable nature of such premium and dividend rates, may force us to issue the Investor significant additional shares of common stock, which may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. The requirement that we pay all premiums and dividends through maturity may make it too costly for us to redeem the Investor’s securities, prior to conversion thereof, as applicable.

The number of shares of common stock issuable in consideration for premiums, interest and dividends through maturity on the Series C Preferred Stock continue to be adjustable after the conversion of such securities.

Pursuant to the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock, the conversion rate of such securities in connection with the premiums and dividends due on such securities through maturity (7 years, regardless of when converted), continues to be adjustable after the issuance of such securities. Specifically, such securities remain adjustable, based on a discount to the lowest daily volume weighted average price during a measuring period for a period of 60 days after the applicable number of shares stated in the initial conversion notice have actually been received into the Investor’s designated brokerage account in electronic form and fully cleared for trading (subject to certain extensions described in the applicable securities). Because the Investor is limited to holding not more than 9.99% of the Company’s common stock upon exercise/conversion of any security, the Investor will not receive all of the shares due upon any conversion, until it has sold shares and been issued additional shares and as such, the beginning date for the applicable 30 or 60 day period after conversion is impossible to determine and may be a significant additional number of days after the initial conversion by the Investor.

41 

In the event of a decrease in the Company’s stock price during the applicable measuring periods, the conversion rate of the premiums and dividends due on such applicable securities will adjust downward and the Investor will be due additional shares of common stock, which issuances may cause further significant dilution to existing shareholders and the sale of such shares may cause the value of the Company’s common stock to decline in value. Furthermore, it is likely that the sale by the Investor of the shares of common stock which the Investor receives in connection with any conversion, during the applicable measuring period, will cause the value of the Company’s common stock to decline in value and the conversion rate to decrease and will result in the Investor being due additional shares of common stock during the measuring period, which will trigger additional decreases in the value of the Company’s common stock upon further public sales by the Investor. If this were to occur, the Investor would be entitled to receive an increasing number of shares, upon conversion of the remaining securities, which could then be sold, triggering further price declines and conversions for even larger numbers of shares, which would cause additional dilution to our existing stockholders and would likely cause the value of our common stock to decline.

The issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock will cause immediate and substantial dilution and the sale of such stock will cause significant downward pressure on our stock price.

The issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock will result in immediate and substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders. Although the Investor may not receive shares of common stock exceeding 9.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock immediately after affecting such conversion, this restriction does not prevent the Investor from receiving shares up to the 9.99% limit, selling those shares, and then receiving the rest of the shares it is due, in one of more tranches, while still staying below the 9.99% limit. If the Investor chooses to do this, it will cause substantial dilution to the then holders of our common stock. Additionally, the continued sale of shares issuable upon successive conversions will likely create significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock as the Investor sells material amounts of our common stock over time and/or in a short period of time. This could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock and in turn result in the Investor receiving an ever increasing number of additional shares of common stock upon conversion of its securities, and adjustments thereof, which in turn will likely lead to further dilution, reductions in the exercise/conversion price of the Investor’s securities and even more downward pressure on our common stock, which could lead to our common stock becoming devalued or worthless.

The Risk Factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2018 relating to the Rogers Loan and security interests thereon, the amount due and owed to IBC Bank, our default of the IBC Bank loan, IBC Bank’s security interests, our prior substantial indebtedness, the prior letter of intent entered into in contemplation of the Assumption Agreement, and the risks relating to the First Warrant (which has been fully exercised), are no longer applicable as a result of the transactions described above under “Part I. Financial Statements – Note 2 – Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations”.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

 An aggregate of 4,417,911 shares of common stock were issued to the Investor in connection with the exercise of the Warrant during fiscal 2017 (200,000), fiscal 2018 (3,909,500), and 308,411 shares were issued in April 2018. The First Warrant has been fully-exercised and extinguished to date.

As of November 7, 2018, the Investor had converted 527 shares of Series C Preferred Stock into 108,493,769 shares of common stock (when including true ups). Additionally, the 1,684 shares of Series C Preferred Stock sold pursuant to the terms of the October 2017 Purchase Agreement and the 369 shares of Series C Preferred Stock sold pursuant to the October 2018 Purchase Agreement, can convert, pursuant to their terms, and including conversion premiums thereon, into approximately 536.3 million shares of common stock, subject to further adjustments pursuant to the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock, including true ups thereon, based on conversion prices of $0.0609 per share (pursuant to the October 2017 Purchase Agreement) and $0.1298 per share (pursuant to the October 2018 Purchase Agreement), which conversion price may actually be significantly less than such estimate and which shares due may be significantly greater, as of the date of this filing.

42 

The sales and issuances of the securities described above have been determined to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Sections 3(a)(9) and 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and Regulation S promulgated thereunder, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. The warrant holder/preferred stock holder has represented that it is an accredited investor, as that term is defined in Regulation D, it is not a U.S. Person, and that it is acquiring the securities for its own account.

As of June 30, 2018, the 408,508 outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock had accrued an aggregate of $606,764 in dividends. The Company paid the dividends by way of the issuance of an aggregate of 1,753 shares of its common stock to the preferred shareholders in September 2018, pursuant to the terms of the designation (which provides that the Shares shall be based on a value of $87.50 per share). The beneficial owners of the Series B Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2018, were Richard N. Azar, II, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former director, and Alan Dreeben, the Company’s former director.

As of September 30, 2018, the 408,508 outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock had accrued $153,191 in dividends. The Company plans to pay the dividends by way of the issuance of an aggregate of 1,753 shares of its common stock to the preferred shareholders pursuant to the terms of the designation (which provides that the Shares shall be based on a value of $87.50 per share). The beneficial owners of the Series B Preferred Stock as of September 30, 2018, were Richard N. Azar, II, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former director, and Alan Dreeben, the Company’s former director. To date, the accrued dividend outstanding as of September 30, 2018 has not been paid.

As the issuance of the common stock in satisfaction of the dividends will not involve a “sale” of securities under Section 2(a)(3) of the Securities Act, we believe that no registration of such securities, or exemption from registration for such securities, is required under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the above, to the extent such shares are deemed “sold or offered”, we plan to claim an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D of the Securities Act, since the transaction will not involve a public offering, the recipients are “accredited investors”, and will acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The securities will be subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The securities will not be registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

On October 5, 2017, the Company and the Investor entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, amended on March 2, 2018 (as amended, the “October 2017 Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, pursuant to the terms thereof, 1,684 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock for $16 million (a 5% original issue discount to the face value of such shares), subject to certain conditions set forth therein.

During the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company sold the Investor an aggregate of 633 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $6 million under the terms of the October 2017 Purchase Agreement.

During the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2018, the Company sold 735 and 945 shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the October 2017 Purchaser Agreement, for total consideration of $7 million and $9 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, there were 1,683 and 1,132 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding, respectively.

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, the Investor converted 143 shares of the Series C Preferred stock with a face value of $1.43 million and was issued 440,002 shares of common stock and additional shares of common stock in dividend premium shares of 57,446,143 and true ups on those and prior conversions for an aggregate of a total of 57,886,145 shares issued.

During the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2018, the Investor converted 143 and 394 shares of the Series C Preferred stock with a face value of $1.43 million and $3.94 million and was issued 440,002 and 1,212,326 shares of common stock and additional shares of common stock in dividend premium shares of 8,533,610 and 17,184,686, respectively and true ups on those and prior conversions for an aggregate of a total of 66,752,089 shares issued during the six months ended September 30, 2018.

The terms of the October 2017 Purchase Agreement, the rights and preferences of the Series C Preferred Stock (which Series C Preferred Stock sold pursuant to the October 2017 Purchase Agreement currently has a dividend rate of 34.95% per year) and related items are described in greater detail in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 5, 2017.

The Company plans to use the proceeds from the sale of the Series C Preferred Stock for working capital, workovers on existing wells, drilling and completion of additional wells, acquisitions, repayment of vendor balances and payments to IBC, in anticipation of regaining compliance.

On April 6, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Investor, pursuant to which the Company issued a redeemable convertible subordinated debenture, with a face value of $530,000, initially convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $3.25 per share. The debenture matures in seven years and accrues interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum. Due to the prior decline in the price of our common stock and that a trigger event occurred on June 30, 2016 as a result of the delay in filing our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2016, the premium rate on the debenture increased from 6% to 34% and the conversion discount became 85% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price during the measuring period (60 days prior to and 60 days after the last date that the Investor receives the last of the shares due), less $0.10 per share of common stock not to exceed 85% of the lowest sales price on the last day of such period less $0.10 per share.

On August 23, 2017, the Investor converted $35,000 of the principal amount of the Debenture into an aggregate of 70,189 shares of common stock, which included 431 shares for conversion of principal and 69,758 shares for premiums.

On April 20, 2018, the Investor was issued 141,982 shares of common stock as a result of true-ups in connection with the August 23, 2017 conversion of the Debenture.

On October 31, 2018, the Investor converted the entire $495,000 of principal owed under the terms of the debenture, into an aggregate of 20,037,653 shares of common stock, including 152,308 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the principal amount thereof (at a conversion price of $3.25 per share), and 19,885,345 shares in connection with conversion premiums due thereon (at a conversion price, as calculated as provided in such debenture, of $0.0609 per share). A total of 2,500,000 of such shares were issued to the Investor in connection with the conversion (an additional 3,272,000 shares were issued on November 5, 2018) and the remaining shares were held in abeyance subject to the Investor’s 9.99% ownership limitation, to be issued from time to time, at the request of the Investor.

44 

In October 2018, Richard N. Azar II, both on his own behalf and on behalf of the entities which he beneficially owned, converted all 364,508 shares of Series B Preferred Stock which he beneficially owned into an aggregate of 104,146, of which 12,419 shares of converted common stock (along with a total of 2,818 shares previously beneficially owned by Mr. Azar) were immediately cancelled pursuant to the terms of the Segundo Settlement, described above under “Part I. Financial Information” – “Item 1. Financial Statements” – “Note 2 – Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations” – “Segundo Settlement”.

The sale and issuance of the securities have been determined to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Sections 3(a)(9) and 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and Regulation S promulgated thereunder, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. The Investor has represented that it is an accredited investor, as that term is defined in Regulation D. The Investor also has represented that it is acquiring the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof.

In October 2018, we issued 50,000 shares of restricted common stock to a consultant pursuant to the terms of a consulting agreement.

The sale and issuance of the securities have been determined to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and Regulation S promulgated thereunder, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.

NOTE 1 – GENERAL

 Camber Energy Inc. (“Camber” or the “Company”) is an independent oil and gas company engaged in the development and acquisition of onshore properties in Texas. Subsequent to the sale of its assets in Oklahoma to N&B Energy, LLC (“N&B Energy”) effective August 1, 2018 (see further discussion in Note 2), Camber retained its assets in Glasscock County and operates in Hutchinson Counties, Texas. Additionally, as part of the N&B transaction, the Company also retained a 12.5% production payment (effective until a total of $2.5 million has been received); a 3% overriding royalty interest in its existing Okfuskee County, Oklahoma asset; and an overriding royalty interest on certain other undeveloped leasehold interests, pursuant to an Assignment of Production Payment and Assignments of Overriding Royalty Interests.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Camber Energy, Inc. (“Camber” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Camber’s annual report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2018. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of 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. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year 2018 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.

Effective on January 10, 2018, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada, a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock, $0.001 per value per share, from 200,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares (the “Amendment”). The Amendment was previously approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders held on January 9, 2018.

On March 1, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to effect a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of all outstanding common stock shares of the Company. The reverse stock split was effective on March 5, 2018. The effect of the reverse stock split was to combine each 25 shares of outstanding common stock into one new share, with no change in authorized shares or par value per share, and to reduce the number of common stock shares outstanding from approximately 103.5 million shares to approximately 4.1 million shares (prior to rounding). Proportional adjustments were made to the conversion and exercise prices of the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred stock, warrants and stock options, and to the number of shares issued and issuable under the Company’s stock incentive plans. The reverse stock split did not affect any shareholder’s ownership percentage of the Company’s common stock, except to the limited extent that the reverse stock split resulted in any shareholder owning a fractional share. Fractional shares of common stock were rounded up to the nearest whole share based on each holder’s aggregate ownership of the Company. All issued and outstanding shares of common stock, conversion terms of preferred stock, options and warrants to purchase common stock and per share amounts contained in the financial statements, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) TOPIC 4C, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse split for all periods presented.

LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

At September 30, 2018, the Company's total current assets of $5.5 million exceeded its total current liabilities of $4.4 million, resulting in working capital of $1.1 million, while at March 31, 2018, the Company’s total current liabilities of $40.3 million exceeded its total current assets of $1.7 million, resulting in a working capital deficit of $38.6 million. The $39.7 million increase in the working capital is primarily due to the assignment of the liabilities owed under the IBC Loan Agreement to N&B Energy in September 2018, as discussed below under “Note 2 - Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations - Assumption Agreement”.

The Company has entered into the following transactions to address liquidity and going concern issues:

On December 30, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) to acquire, from twenty-three different entities and individuals (the “Sellers”), working interests in producing properties and undeveloped acreage (the “Acquisition”), which acquisition transaction was completed on August 25, 2016. The assets acquired include varied interests in two largely contiguous acreage blocks in the liquids-rich Mid-Continent region. In connection with the closing of the acquisition, the Company assumed approximately $30.6 million of commercial bank debt, issued 520,387 shares of common stock to certain of the Sellers, issued 552,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to one of the Sellers and its affiliate, and paid $4,975,000 in cash to certain of the Sellers. The effective date of the Acquisition was April 1, 2016.

Pursuant to a Letter Agreement the Company entered into, at the closing of the Acquisition, with RAD2 Minerals, Ltd. (“RAD2”), one of the Sellers, which is owned and controlled by Richard N. Azar II, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former director. RAD2 agreed to accept full financial liability for any and all deficiencies between the “Agreed Assets Value” set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement of $80,697,710, and the mutually agreed upon value of the assets delivered by the Sellers at the closing of the Acquisition, up to an aggregate of $1,030,941 (as applicable, the “Deficiency”). The Company accepted additional oil and gas producing properties and two salt water disposal facilities from the Sellers with an approximate value of $1.0 million to resolve this Deficiency.

The Asset Purchase Agreement between the Sellers and the Company relating to the Acquisition included the requirement that, following the closing, the parties undertake an accounting/true-up of expenses attributable to the assets acquired by the Company and revenue generated from such assets. A dispute arose between the Sellers and the Company as to the time period which the Company was to be responsible for the payment of expenses and was to receive the revenue from such assets prior to the closing of the transaction. Specifically, the Company believed that the agreements provided for it to be responsible for all expenses associated with the assets, and to receive all revenue generated from the assets, from April 1, 2016, the effective date of the Asset Purchase Agreement, through the closing date, August 25, 2016. The Sellers on the other hand, which include entities owned by Richard N. Azar, II, the Company’s then interim Chief Executive Officer, argued that the Company was only responsible for expenses, and was only due to receive revenue from the assets, beginning on the closing date, August 25, 2016. The difference in the amounts claimed due to the Company from the parties varied from a high of $1,121,718, which the Company alleged was due, to a low of $342,298, which the Sellers alleged was due. On July 12, 2018, the Company entered into a Compromise Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release with Segundo Resources, LLC”), which is owned and controlled by Mr. Azar (“Segundo” and the “Segundo Settlement”), in partial consideration for N&B Energy agreeing to enter into the Sale Agreement (discussed below). Pursuant to the Segundo Settlement, Segundo surrendered 15,237 shares of common stock valued at $76.25 per share as of the effective date of the closing of the acquisition contemplated by the December 31, 2015 Asset Purchase Agreement (which closing effective date was April 1, 2016) for cancellation (which cancellation occurred in October 2018), and released the Company from any and all claims which Segundo previously alleged were owed under the terms of the December 31, 2015 Asset Purchase Agreement. The Company and Segundo also provided each other full releases in connection with the December 31, 2015 Asset Purchase Agreement and Segundo agreed to indemnify the Company and hold it harmless against any claims made by the other sellers under the December 31, 2015 Asset Purchase Agreement.  

 As discussed in “Note 6 – Notes Payable and Debenture”, the Company borrowed $40 million from International Bank of Commerce (“IBC” or “IBC Bank”) effective August 25, 2016. The proceeds of the loan were used to repay and refinance approximately $30.6 million of indebtedness owed by certain of the Sellers to IBC as part of the closing of the Acquisition. As of June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants of the loan agreement, including requiring the Company to maintain a net worth of $30 million, the Company was in default of the terms of the loan, and the balance of the loan due to IBC of $36.9 million (less unamortized debt issuance costs of approximately $1.3 million), was recognized as a short-term liability on the Company’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018. The Company also recognized approximately $0 and $39,000 in accrued interest as of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively related to this note. As discussed below, in September 2018, the Company assigned all of the obligations and liability under the IBC Bank documents to N&B Energy.

On April 6, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited institutional investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company sold and issued a redeemable convertible subordinated debenture, with a face amount of $530,000, initially convertible into 6,523 shares of common stock (subject to certain conversion premiums) at a conversion price equal to $3.25 per share and a warrant to initially purchase 55,385 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment thereunder) at an exercise price equal to $81.25 per share (the “First Warrant”). The Investor purchased the debenture at a 5.0% original issue discount in the amount of $500,000 and has exercised the First Warrant in full as described below for the sum of $4.5 million. Additionally, the Investor has fully converted the debenture as of the date of this filing.

Also on April 6, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the Investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed, subject to certain conditions, to issue up to 527 shares of Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) at a 5% original issue discount, convertible into 1,621,539 shares of common stock (subject to certain conversion premiums) at a conversion price of $3.25 per share, and a warrant to initially purchase 44,444 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $112.50 per share (the “Second Warrant”). Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Second Warrant and 53 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were sold and issued for $500,000 on September 2, 2016, and the remaining 474 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were sold and issued for $4.5 million on November 17, 2016.

In July and August 2016, RAD2 advanced the Company an aggregate of $350,000. Also, in August 2016, two other Sellers advanced the Company an aggregate of $200,000 ($100,000 each). These advances did not accrue interest and had no stated maturity date. Additionally, in August 2016, RAD2 loaned the Company $1.5 million pursuant to a promissory note. The promissory note did not accrue interest for the first month it was outstanding and accrued interest at the rate of 5% per annum thereafter until paid in full. The Company repaid the promissory note in full and all amounts advanced by RAD2 and the two other Sellers in October 2016.

On October 7, 2016, the Investor exercised the First Warrant in full and was due 55,385 shares of common stock upon exercise thereof and an additional 101,709 shares of common stock in consideration for the conversion premium due thereon. A total of 32,400 shares were issued to the Investor on October 7, 2016, with the remaining shares being held in abeyance until such time as it would not result in the Investor exceeding its beneficial ownership limitation (4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock), provided that all of such shares due to the Investor upon the exercise of the First Warrant have been issued to date. The Company received gross proceeds of $4,500,000 from the exercise of the First Warrant and paid placement agent fees of $427,500 for services rendered in connection with the First Warrant. Pursuant to the terms of the First Warrant, the number of shares due in consideration for the conversion premium increased as the annual rate of return under the First Warrant increased, including by 10% upon the occurrence of certain triggering events (which had occurred by the October 7, 2016 date of exercise), to 17% per annum upon the exercise of the First Warrant.

An aggregate of 4,417,911 shares of common stock were issued to the Investor in connection with the exercise of the Warrant during fiscal 2017 (200,000), fiscal 2018 (3,909,500), and 308,411 shares were issued in April 2018. The First Warrant has been fully-exercised and extinguished to date. 

N&B Energy Asset Disposition Agreement

On July 12, 2018, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”), as seller, with N&B Energy, as purchaser, which entity is affiliated with Richard N. Azar II, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former director, and Donnie B. Seay, the Company’s former director. Pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to N&B Energy a substantial portion of its assets, including all of the assets acquired pursuant to the terms of the December 31, 2015 Asset Purchase Agreement with Segundo and certain other more recent acquisitions, other than the production payment and overriding royalty interests discussed below (the “Assets”). In consideration for the Assets, N&B Energy agreed to pay the Company $100 in cash, to assume all of the Company’s obligations and debt owed under its outstanding loan agreement with IBC Bank, which had a then outstanding principal balance of approximately $36.9 million and Segundo agreed to enter into the Segundo Settlement, described below.

IBC Bank Standstill Agreement

On August 3, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement in connection with the loan (the “Standstill Agreement”) with IBC Bank, which was effective August 1, 2018. Among other terms, described below, the Standstill Agreement was entered into to provide the Company sufficient time to close the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement. Pursuant to the Standstill Agreement:

(a) The Company confirmed that certain defaults had occurred under the terms of the Real Estate Lien Note dated August 25, 2016 (the “Note”) in the original principal amount of $40,000,000 (which had an outstanding principal balance of approximately $36.9 million), entered into pursuant to the Loan Agreement dated August 25, 2016 (the “Loan Agreement” and together with the Note, and the other documents entered into evidencing, documenting and securing the Loan, the “Loan Documents”);

(b) The Company, on behalf of it and its representatives, provided IBC Bank a release of all claims which it and such parties may have had as of the date of the Standstill Agreement;

(c) The Company agreed to certain venue requirements in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding the Company may file or have filed against it in the future, agreed to waive certain automatic stays provided under applicable bankruptcy law and confirmed IBC Bank’s security interests;

(d) IBC Bank agreed to stand still and not take any action to collect the indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents, prior to the earlier of (i) September 30, 2018, unless the closing date of the Sale Agreement is required to be extended due to no fault of the Company, due to the regulatory requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or NYSE American, in which case such date shall be automatically extended to no later than October 31, 2018, unless extended by both parties; or (ii) a default of the conditions of the stand still as set forth in the Standstill Agreement (collectively, the “Standstill Date”);

(e) The Company agreed to certain conditions to the standstill, including:

(i) Depositing all funds in excess of $5,000 with IBC Bank by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 7, 2018 (the “Deadline”);

(ii) The Company pledging to IBC Bank prior to the Deadline, 87.5% of all of the Company’s right, title and interest to its assets located in Okfuskee County, Oklahoma and all wells, leasehold, mineral and surface interest, personal property, and all other property or assets located on or associated with said field owned by the Company that were recently purchased from Orion Energy (with the remaining 12.5% to be pledged to IBC Bank prior to the closing date of the Sale Agreement);

(iii) Paying all of IBC Bank’s expenses and reasonable attorney fees in connection with the Note prior to the Deadline;

(iv) Paying the June 2018 interest on the Note prior to the Deadline;

(v) Paying the July 2018 interest on the Note prior to the Deadline;

(vi) Agreeing to certain covenants and restrictions regarding the assets securing the Loan Documents during the stand still period; and

(vii) Confirming that during the stand still period, the per annum interest rate of the Note will be 3% above the New York Prime Rate, subject to a floor of 5.5% per annum, with a beginning interest rate of 8% per annum.

(f) IBC Bank agreed to allow the Company to undertake the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement, subject to the terms of the Standstill Agreement;

(g) IBC Bank agreed, that if the Company was ready, willing and able to close the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement, but N&B Energy was not ready to close such transaction, on or before the Standstill Date (as extended), that it could surrender the assets planned to be sold pursuant to the Sale Agreement to IBC Bank (which may be undertaken pursuant to a foreclosure of such assets); and

(h) That upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement or the surrender of such assets proposed to be sold pursuant to such Sale Agreement to IBC Bank (as discussed in (g) above), IBC Bank would pursue only the assets sold/surrendered, N&B Energy (if applicable) and the guarantors of the debt; enter into a novation and release in favor of the Company; and not pursue the Company for any deficiency in the amounts due under the Loan Documents, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Standstill Agreement.

First Amendment to Sale Agreement

Also on August 3, 2018, the Company and N&B Energy entered into a First Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement (the “First Amendment”), which amended the terms of the Sale Agreement to (a) modify, clarify and replace certain of the exhibits to the original Sale Agreement, including the terms of the overriding royalty interests and production payment agreed to be granted to the Company as part of such Sale Agreement; (b) amend the Sale Agreement to remove the requirement that the Company obtain shareholder approval prior to the closing of such Sale Agreement; and (c) include a deadline of August 31, 2018 for N&B Energy’s due diligence under the Sale Agreement. 

Additionally, in order to avoid the significant time required to file a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, clear comments with the Securities and Exchange Commission, hold a meeting and obtain shareholder approval, and because such shareholder approval was not required pursuant to applicable law or the rules of the NYSE American, the Company’s management determined to not seek shareholder approval, but to instead seek a third-party opinion as to the fairness of the transaction to the Company’s shareholders.

Second Amendment to Sale Agreement

On September 24, 2018, the Company, N&B Energy and CE Operating, LLC, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“CE Operating”), entered into a Second Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), which amended the terms of the Sale Agreement. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Company, N&B Energy and CE Operating agreed (a) to clarify that all of the representations of the Company made in the Sale Agreement relating to portions of the Assets held in the name of CE Operating shall be deemed made by CE Operating and not the Company and that CE Operating shall be deemed a party to the Sale Agreement, solely in order to make such representations; and (b) to extend the deadline for closing the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement to September 26, 2018, or such other date as the Company and N&B shall agree upon in writing.

Assumption Agreement

On September 26, 2018, the Company entered into an Assumption Agreement (the “Assumption Agreement”) with IBC Bank; CE Operating; N&B Energy, which entity is affiliated with Richard N. Azar, II, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former director (“Azar”), and Donnie B. Seay, the Company’s former director (“Seay”); Azar; RAD2 Minerals, Ltd., an entity owned and controlled by Azar (“RAD2”); Seay; and DBS Investments, Ltd., an entity owned and controlled by Seay. Azar, Seay, RAD2, and DBS are collectively referred to as the “Guarantors”.

Pursuant to the Assumption Agreement, N&B Energy agreed to assume all of the Company’s liabilities and obligations owed to IBC Bank under the Loan Documents, the amount due under and in connection which was secured by (a) an Oil and Gas Mortgage, Security Agreement, Financing Statement and Assignment of Production (Oklahoma) dated August 25, 2016, covering all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to certain oil, gas and mineral leases and/or minerals, mineral interests and estates located in Lincoln, Payne, and Logan Counties, Oklahoma; (b) an Oil and Gas Mortgage, Security Agreement, Financing Statement and Assignment of Production (Oklahoma) dated August 1, 2018, covering all of the Company’s right, title, and interest in and to certain oil, gas, and mineral leases and/or mineral interests and estates located in Okfuskee County, Oklahoma (collectively, the “Orion Interests”); and (c) the Mortgage, Deed of Trust, Assignment, Security Agreement and Financing Statement dated as of August 25, 2016, covering the Company’s mineral interests located in Glasscock County, Texas (collectively, the “West Texas Properties”).

Additionally, pursuant to the Assumption Agreement, IBC Bank approved the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement and the assumption by N&B Energy of all of the amounts and liabilities which the Company owed to IBC Bank (the “IBC Obligations”) and N&B Energy agreed to assume all of the IBC Obligations. Finally, pursuant to the Assumption Agreement, IBC Bank released and forever discharged the Company and CE Operating and each of their current and former officers, directors, and shareholders, from all covenants, agreements, obligations, claims and demands of any kind, whether in law or at equity, which IBC Bank then had, arising out of or related to the amounts which the Company owed to IBC Bank under the Note, Loan Agreement or mortgages and/or under such documents or agreements, and further agreed to release the lien which IBC Bank then held on the West Texas Properties.

N&B Energy Sale Agreement Closing

On September 26, 2018, the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement closed and N&B Energy assumed all of the IBC Obligations (pursuant to the Assumption Agreement described above) and paid the Company $100 in cash, and the Company transferred ownership of the Assets to N&B Energy. 

Notwithstanding the sale of the Assets, the Company retained its assets in Glasscock County and Hutchinson Counties, Texas and also retained a 12.5% production payment (effective until a total of $2.5 million has been received); a 3% overriding royalty interest in its existing Okfuskee County, Oklahoma asset; and retained an overriding royalty interest on certain other undeveloped leasehold interests, pursuant to an Assignment of Production Payment and Assignment of Overriding Royalty Interests.

The effective date of the Sale Agreement is August 1, 2018. The Assets were assigned “as is” with all faults.

As a result of the Assumption Agreement and the Sale Agreement, the Company reduced its liabilities by $37.9 million and its assets by approximately $12.1 million.

The following table summarizes the net assets sold and gain recognized in connection with the Assumption Agreement and Sale Agreement:

There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies since March 31, 2018 which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform them with the current year presentation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, supersedes the revenue recognition requirements and industry-specific guidance under Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). Topic 606 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted Topic 606 on April 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts that were not completed as of April 1, 2018. Under the modified retrospective method, prior period financial positions and results will not be adjusted. The cumulative effect adjustment recognized in the opening balances included no significant changes as a result of this adoption. While the Company does not expect 2019 net earnings to be materially impacted by revenue recognition timing changes, Topic 606 requires certain changes to the presentation of revenues and related expenses beginning April 1, 2018. Refer to Note 9 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers for additional information.

In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) amending the presentation of restricted cash within the consolidated statements of cash flows. The new guidance requires that restricted cash be added to cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company adopted this ASU on April 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis with the following impacts to our consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2017:

	Previously Reported		Adjustment			As Revised
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	306,999	$	(1,517,086	)	$	(1,210,087	)

As of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the Company had restricted cash of $0 and $26,834 related to the loan agreement with IBC bank. 

Following is a summary of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash:

	September 30, 2018		March 31, 2018		September 30, 2017
Cash	$	5,331,578	$	760,317	$	85,983
Restricted cash – current		—		26,834		167,441
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	5,331,578	$	787,151	$	253,424

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). ASU 2016-15 seeks to reduce the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this ASU on April 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which amends the current definition of a business. Under ASU 2017-01, to be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contributes to the ability to create outputs. ASU 2017-01 further states that when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (or a group of similar assets), the assets acquired would not represent a business. The new guidance also narrows the definition of the term “outputs” to be consistent with how it is described in Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The changes to the definition of a business will likely result in more acquisitions being accounted for as asset acquisitions. The guidance is effective for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on April 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting”, which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company adopted this ASU on April 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 The Company does not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Oil and Gas Properties

Camber uses the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and natural gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells used to find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development wells including directly related overhead costs and related asset retirement costs are capitalized.

Under this method, all costs, including internal costs directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities are capitalized as oil and natural gas property costs on a country-by-country basis. Costs not subject to amortization consist of unproved properties that are evaluated on a property-by-property basis. Amortization of these unproved property costs begins when the properties become proved or their values become impaired. Camber assesses overall values of unproved properties, if any, on at least an annual basis or when there has been an indication that impairment in value may have occurred. Impairment of unproved properties is assessed based on management’s intention with regard to future development of individually significant properties and the ability of Camber to obtain funds to finance their programs. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is added to the capitalized costs to be amortized. 

Sales of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to the net full cost pool with no gain or loss recognized, unless the adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. If it is determined that the relationship is significantly altered, the corresponding gain or loss will be recognized in the statements of operations.

Costs of oil and natural gas properties are amortized using the units of production method. Amortization expense calculated per equivalent physical unit of production amounted to $4.45 and $5.75 per barrel of oil equivalent for the six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

All of Camber’s oil and gas properties are located in the United States. Below are the components of Camber’s oil and gas properties recorded at: 

	September 30, 2018			March 31, 2018
Oil and gas properties subject to amortization	$	50,882,371		$	60,760,056
Oil and gas properties not subject to amortization		28,013,365			28,016,989
Capitalized asset retirement costs		161,130			322,470
Total oil and gas properties		79,056,866			89,099,515
Accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization		(77,770,225	)		(76,555,320	)
Net capitalized costs	$	1,286,641		$	12,544,195

For the six months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded impairments totaling $755,966, all if which were due to lease expirations.

Capital Leases

During March and April 2018, the Company purchased certain equipment pursuant to capital leases. The effective value of the equipment was approximately $575,000, and such amount is included in oil and gas properties and the corresponding current liability of approximately $387,000 is included in accrued expenses as of June 30, 2018. The effective borrowing rate is approximately 35%, and all obligations were due by December 2018. In conjunction with the assignment of the liabilities owed under the IBC Loan Agreement to N&B Energy in September 2018, as discussed under “Note 2 – Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations – Assumption Agreement” all of the remaining obligations were assumed by the purchaser. 

Other Property and Equipment

In February 2014, the Company purchased a field office for approximately $50,000 which is used to provide local operational support for its properties in the Eagleford and Austin Chalk areas. The land upon which the field office resides was initially leased by the Company over a three-year term beginning in January 2014 through December 2016, for yearly lease amounts of $7,200 and $7,800, and $8,400 over the three-year term, respectively. In January 2017, the Company renewed the lease on a year-to-year basis for $7,200. The field office was transferred as a part of the Release with Rogers. See “Note 6 – Notes Payable and Debenture” for further details.

Office Lease

On April 1, 2016, the Company entered into a lease agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease 4,439 square feet of office space at 450 Gears Road, Houston, Harris County, Texas 77067 (Suite 860, versus Suite 780 as was leased previously). The lease had a 65-month term (through August 2021), and commenced on April 1, 2016. The monthly rental cost under the lease was -$0- for the month of April 2016, and $7,676 for the months of May 2016 through April 2017, plus as applicable, its pro rata share of operating expenses and taxes which exceed the total operating expenses and taxes of the property for the first year of the lease. On March 31, 2017, the Company amended its lease at 450 Gears Road to expand to a total of 6,839 square feet, commencing on May 1, 2017. The amendment extended the lease period to November 2021.

In August 2017, the Company ceased its use of this office space and moved its headquarters to San Antonio, Texas. The Company was committed to the remaining lease payments for the Houston office space for approximately $346,000 assuming an early termination of the lease on July 31, 2019, and has recently settled these amounts pursuant to a settlement agreement discussed below. The Company recorded monthly rent expense associated with the Houston lease through August 2017. In accordance with the accounting guidance in ASC 420-10-25-13 regarding exit or disposal cost obligations, as of August 2017, the Company recorded rent expense, within general and administrative expense, and accrued a liability of $302,289, which represents the fair value of costs that will continue to be incurred during the remaining term of the Houston lease without economic benefit to the Company. As of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the carrying amount of the liability of $302,289 and $302,289, respectively, was included in Current Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company wrote-off $189,533 of mostly fully depreciated property and equipment that was not re-located to the San Antonio headquarters, resulting in a loss of $3,368 which was recognized as a loss during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. In October 2018, the Company entered into a settlement with its prior landlord as described below under “Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies – Legal Proceedings – MidFirst”.

Effective October 1, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to sublease space on a month-to-month basis in San Antonio, Texas at 4040 Broadway, Suite 425, from RAD2 Minerals, Ltd., an entity owned and controlled by Mr. Azar, the Company’s former Interim Chief Executive Officer, who resigned as Interim CEO effective May 25, 2018 and resigned as a member of the Board of Directors on June 21, 2018. Monthly rent for October through December 2017 was $5,000 per month, increasing to $7,500 per month effective January 2018. The agreement was subsequently modified to have a month-to-month term at $2,500 per month, effective July 1, 2018.

Effective August 1, 2018, the Company terminated its month-to-month lease with RAD2 and entered into a month-to-month lease at 1415 Louisiana, Suite 3500 Houston, Texas 77002. The entity which has provided the use of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer is providing this space without charge to the Company.

Debenture

On April 6, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Investor, pursuant to which the Company issued a redeemable convertible subordinated debenture, with a face value of $530,000, initially convertible into 163,077 shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $3.25 per share and warrants to initially purchase 55,385 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment thereunder) at an exercise price equal to $81.25 per share (the “First Warrant”). The Investor purchased the debenture at a $30,000 original issue discount for the sum of $500,000 and agreed that it would exercise the First Warrant, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, for the sum of $4.5 million, which warrant was exercised in October 2016. The debenture matures in seven years and accrues interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum. Due to the decline in the price of the Company’s common stock and that a trigger event occurred on June 30, 2016 as a result of the delay in filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2016, the premium rate on the debenture increased from 6% to 34% and the conversion discount became 85% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price during the measuring period (60 days prior to and 60 days after the last date that the Investor receives the last of the shares due), less $0.10 per share of common stock not to exceed 85% of the lowest sales price on the last day of such period less $0.10 per share.

As the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the debenture exceeded the $530,000 value of the debenture, the Company fully discounted the entire debenture and will amortize the discount over the term of the debenture. The discount is being amortized through interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture.

On August 23, 2017, the Investor converted $35,000 of the principal amount of the Debenture into an aggregate of 70,189 shares of common stock, which included 431 shares for conversion of principal (at $81.25 per share) and 69,758 shares for premiums.

On April 20, 2018, the Investor was issued 141,982 shares of common stock as a result of true-ups in connection with the August 23, 2017 conversion of the Debenture.

As of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the Company had a convertible subordinated debenture with a balance of $293,628 and $247,403, respectively (net of unamortized discount of $201,372 and $247,597, respectively), which is recognized as a short-term liability on the Company’s balance sheets as of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively. The Company also recognized $422,104 and $388,183 in accrued interest as of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively.

On October 31, 2018, the Investor converted the entire $495,000 of principal owed under the terms of the debenture, into an aggregate of 20,037,653 shares of common stock, including 152,308 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the principal amount thereof (at a conversion price of $3.25 per share), and 19,885,345 shares in connection with conversion premiums due thereon (at a conversion price, as calculated as provided in such debenture, of $0.0609 per share). A total of 2,500,000 of such shares were issued to the Investor in connection with the conversion (an additional 3,272,000 shares were issued on November 5, 2018) and the remaining shares were held in abeyance subject to the Investor’s 9.99% ownership limitation, to be issued from time to time, at the request of the Investor. 

Loan Agreement with International Bank of Commerce (“IBC” or “IBC Bank”)

On August 25, 2016, the Company, as borrower, and Azar, Seay, Richard E. Menchaca, RAD2, DBS Investments, Ltd. (“DBS”, controlled by Seay) and Saxum Energy, LLC (“Saxum”, which is controlled by Mr. Menchaca), as guarantors, all of which were directly or indirectly Sellers), and IBC Bank, as lender, entered into a Loan Agreement.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, IBC Bank loaned the Company $40 million, evidenced by a Real Estate Lien Note in the amount of $40 million. The Company was required to make monthly payments under the note equal to the greater of (i) $425,000; and (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s monthly net income. The note accrued annual interest at 2% above the prime rate then in effect, subject to a minimum interest rate of 5.5% per annum. The note was due and payable on August 25, 2019. Payments under the note were subject to change as the interest rate changes in order to sufficiently amortize the note in 120 monthly installments. The Company had the right, from time to time and without penalty to prepay the note in whole or in part, subject to the terms thereof.

The proceeds of the loan were used to repay and refinance approximately $30.6 million of indebtedness owed by certain of the Sellers, to IBC Bank (including an aggregate of $18.3 million owed by RAD2 and another entity controlled by Azar, $9.8 million owed by DBS, and $2.1 million owed by Mr. Menchaca), as well as to pay the $4.975 million due to the Sellers at closing. Another $3.36 million was used to fund a sinking fund required by IBC Bank, as discussed below, to pay principal on the note.

The amount owed under the note was secured by a Security Interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets and properties, pursuant to three Security Agreements. Also, each of the guarantors guaranteed the repayment of a portion of the Loan Agreement pursuant to a Limited Guaranty Agreement. Additionally, in connection with the parties’ entry into the Loan Agreement and to further secure amounts due thereunder, certain of the guarantors pledged shares of common stock which they received at the closing of the Acquisition to IBC Bank, with RAD2 pledging 124,824 shares of common stock; DBS pledging 37,437 shares of common stock; and Saxum pledging 26,936 shares of common stock.

The Company agreed to pay IBC Bank a loan finance charge of $400,000 in connection with its entry into the Loan Agreement, with half due on the date the Company entered into the Loan Agreement and half due on or before the 180^th day following the date of the Loan Agreement. As further consideration for agreeing to the terms of the Loan, the Company agreed to issue IBC Bank 15,612 shares of common stock. The Company recognized a $2.8 million note discount related to these transactions and other debt issuance costs and will amortize the discount and debt issuance costs over the term of the note.

On September 8, 2017, the Company received a Notice of Default and Opportunity to Cure (the “Notice”) from IBC, stating that the Company was in default under its loan due to failing to make a required $425,000 loan payment on August 25, 2017 (the “Payment Default”). The Notice was also sent to the guarantors under the Loan Agreement. The Notice also cited the Company for several covenant defaults including exceeding a cap on monthly general and administrative expenses; falling below $30 million of net worth; failing to comply with certain post-closing covenants regarding the assignment of certain oil and gas interests, the execution of certain supplemental mortgages and the completion of certain curative title requirements; failing to pay costs and expenses required pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement; failing to meet the requirements of a cash flow test as described in greater detail in the Loan Agreement; and exceeding the loan to value determination provided for in the Loan Agreement. In order to cure the Payment Default described in the Notice, the Company was required to pay $425,000, as well as any attorney’s fees and/or late fees as determined by IBC, on or before September 18, 2017, which amount was not paid and to cure the covenant defaults, which covenant defaults were not cured. 

Pursuant to extension agreements entered into with IBC, in or around December 2017 and January 2018, (a) IBC agreed to waive the Company’s obligation to make the August 30, 2017, $425,000 monthly principal payment originally due under the IBC loan; (b) the Company confirmed the amount outstanding under the IBC loan ($37,443,308 as of each extension); (c) IBC agreed that interest only payments would be due on September 30, 2017, October 30, 2017, November 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017, with principal payments of $425,000 per month to begin thereafter, which principal payments were not made; (d) the parties agreed that the amounts owed to IBC were payable on demand, provided that if no demand was made, such amounts would be payable by way of monthly payments of $425,000 of principal, plus accrued interest, with the remaining amount owed to IBC due at maturity (August 25, 2019); (e) that the amount owed to IBC will accrue interest at the rate of 2% per annum above the prime rate, subject to a floor of 5.5% (currently 6.25% per annum); (f) if the Company fails to make any payment due to IBC within 10 days of its due date, IBC is due a late payment of 5% of the amount past due (subject to a minimum of $10 and a maximum of $1,500 per late payment); and (g) the Company and the guarantors of the IBC loan released IBC from any claims against IBC as of the date of each of such extensions.

As of September 30, 2018, the amounts owed to IBC Bank were assumed by N&B Energy pursuant to the Assumption Agreement, described above under “Note 2 – Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations – Assumption Agreement”.

DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY 

The Company has determined that certain warrants the Company has issued contain provisions that protect holders from future issuances of the Company’s common stock at prices below such warrants’ respective exercise prices and these provisions could result in modification of the warrants’ exercise price based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option as defined under FASB ASC Topic No. 815 – 40. The warrants granted in April 2014 contain anti-dilution provisions that provide for a reduction in the exercise price of such warrants in the event that future common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) is issued (or becomes contractually issuable) at a price per share (a “Lower Price”) that is less than the exercise price of such warrant at the time. The amount of any such adjustment is determined in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement and depends upon the number of shares of common stock issued (or deemed issued) at the Lower Price and the extent to which the Lower Price is less than the exercise price of the warrant at the time.

Activities for derivative warrant instruments during the six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

	2018		2017
Carrying amount at beginning of period	$	5	$	21,662
Change in fair value		—		(20,891	)
Carrying amount at end of period	$	5	$	771

The fair value of the derivative warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Variables used in the Black Scholes pricing model as of September 30, 2018 include (1) discount rate of 2.59%, (2) expected term of 0.56 years, (3) expected volatility of 227.10%, and (4) zero expected dividends. Variables used in the Black-Scholes pricing model as of September 30, 2017 include (1) discount rate of 1.47%, (2) expected term of 2 years, (3) expected volatility of 162.52%, and (4) zero expected dividends.

As of September 30, 2018, the significant inputs to the Company’s derivative liability calculation were Level 3 inputs.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 The Company entered into multiple office lease agreements, see detail under “Note 4 – Property and Equipment – Office Leases”.

The Company’s oil and gas lease acreage is subject to expiration if the Company does not drill and hold such acreage by production or exercise options to extend such leases. At March 31, 2018, the Company had 423 acres of unproved lease acreage that is set to expire during fiscal year 2019 unless drilled or otherwise extended by the Company. During the six months ended September 30, 2018, leases for 245 unproved acres expired and a resulting impairment of approximately $755,966 was recognized, leaving 178 acres remaining. 

Legal Proceedings. From time to time suits and claims against Camber arise in the ordinary course of Camber’s business, including contract disputes and title disputes. Camber records reserves for contingencies when information available indicates that a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

MidFirst

In October 2018, the Company entered into a confidential settlement agreement with MidFirst Bank, its prior landlord and settled all claims relating to the Company’s prior office space lease. See also “Note 4 – Property and Equipment” for further discussion.

Maranatha Oil Matter

In November 2015, Randy L. Robinson, d/b/a Maranatha Oil Co. sued the Company in Gonzales County, Texas (Cause No. 26160). The plaintiff alleged that it assigned oil and gas leases to the Company in April 2010, retaining a 4% overriding royalty interest and 50% working interest and that the Company failed to pay such overriding royalty interest or royalty interest. The interests relate to certain oil and gas properties which the Company subsequently sold to Nordic Oil USA in April 2013. The petition alleges causes of actions for breach of contract, failure to pay royalties, non-payment of working interest, fraud, fraud in the inducement of contract, money had and received, constructive trust, violation of theft liability act, continuing tort and fraudulent concealment. The suit seeks approximately $100,000 in amounts alleged owed, plus pre-and post-judgment interest. The Company has filed a denial to the claims.

Rubenstein Matter

On September 28, 2017, Aaron Rubenstein, a purported shareholder of the Company’s common stock, filed a lawsuit against the Company (as nominal defendant) and Richard N. Azar II, it’s then Chief Executive Officer and director (who has since resigned from both positions), RAD2 Management, LLC, RAD2 Minerals, Ltd. and Segundo Resources, LLC, each an entity owned and controlled by Mr. Azar, in the United States District Court, Western District of Texas (Case No. 5:17-cv-962-FB).  The suit seeks the recovery (for the benefit of the Company) of alleged short-swing profits from Mr. Azar and his related entities under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act relating to various transactions involving Series B Preferred Stock of the Company in November 2016 and January 2017. Mr. Azar denied the existence of any short-swing profits and filed a denial with the court. The Company also filed a denial with the court.

The parties are currently in discussions regarding a settlement of the plaintiff’s claims. Following the date of this filing the Company anticipates entering into a settlement agreement and that the plaintiff will file a dismissal of the plaintiff’s claims with the court.

Petroflow Matter

In October 2017, the Company agreed to pay directly and reimburse entities owned in part by Alan Dreeben, a former director of the Company, for legal fees and settlement payments expended in connection with the defense of Petroflow Energy Corporation v. Sezar Energy, L.P. and Brittany Energy, LLC, Case No. 16-CV-700-TCK;TLW, In the United States District Court – N.D. OK. The Company was the beneficiary through the release of interest in disputed lease interests from Petroflow to the Company that provides the Company with complete control over those properties to renew expired leases and to have 100% of the drilling rights related to those properties.

On October 4, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with a digital marketing advisor pursuant to which the advisor agreed to create original content with the goal of increasing public awareness about the Company and the Company agreed to pay the advisor (a) $20,000 per month beginning in October 2017 and ending on February 28, 2018, (b) $50,000 per month thereafter through October 4, 2018, the end of the term of the agreement, and (c) 150,000 shares of restricted common stock, with 100,000 shares payable within 15 days of the parties’ entry into the agreement and the remainder due on May 1, 2018. As of September 30, 2018, the remaining shares were issued and the obligation was settled in full.  

As of March 31, 2018, the 408,508 outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock had accrued an aggregate of $606,764 in dividends. The Company paid the dividends by way of the issuance of an aggregate of 1,753 shares of its common stock to the preferred shareholders in May 2018, pursuant to the terms of the designation (which provides that the Shares shall be based on a value of $87.50 per share). The beneficial owners of the Series B Preferred Stock as of March 31, 2018, were Richard N. Azar, II, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former director, and Alan Dreeben, the Company’s former director.

As of June 30, 2018, the 408,508 outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock had accrued an aggregate of $606,764 in dividends. The Company paid the dividends by way of the issuance of an aggregate of 1,753 shares of its common stock to the preferred shareholders in September 2018, pursuant to the terms of the designation (which provides that the Shares shall be based on a value of $87.50 per share). The beneficial owners of the Series B Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2018, were Richard N. Azar, II, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former director, and Alan Dreeben, the Company’s former director.

As of September 30, 2018, the 408,508 outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock had accrued $153,191 in dividends. The Company plans to pay the dividends by way of the issuance of an aggregate of 1,753 shares of its common stock to the preferred shareholders pursuant to the terms of the designation (which provides that the Shares shall be based on a value of $87.50 per share). The beneficial owners of the Series B Preferred Stock as of September 30, 2018, were Richard N. Azar, II, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former director, and Alan Dreeben, the Company’s former director. To date, the accrued dividend outstanding as of September 30, 2018 has not been paid.

On October 7, 2016, the Investor exercised the First Warrant in full and was due 55,385 shares of common stock upon exercise thereof and an additional 101,710 shares of common stock in consideration for the conversion premium due thereon. A total of 32,400 shares were issued to the Investor on October 7, 2016, with the remaining shares being held in abeyance until such time as it would not result in the Investor exceeding its beneficial ownership limitation (4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock). The Company received gross proceeds of $4,500,000 from the exercise of the First Warrant and paid placement agent fees of $427,500 for services rendered in connection with the First Warrant. Pursuant to the terms of the First Warrant, the number of shares due in consideration for the conversion premium increases as the annual rate of return under the First Warrant increases, including by 10% upon the occurrence of certain triggering events (which had occurred by the October 7, 2016 date of exercise), to 17% per annum upon the exercise of the First Warrant. Additionally, as the conversion rate for the conversion premium is currently 85% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price during the measuring period, less $0.10 per share of common stock not to exceed 85% of the lowest sales prices on the last day of such period less $0.10 per share, the number of shares issuable in connection with the conversion premium increases as the trading price of the Company’s common stock decreases, and the trading price of the Company’s common stock has decreased since the date the First Warrant was exercised, triggering a further reduction in the conversion price of the conversion premium and an increase in the number of shares due to the Investor in connection with the conversion of the amount owed in connection with the conversion premium. An aggregate of 4,417,911 shares of common stock were issued to the Investor in connection with the exercise of the Warrant during fiscal 2017 (200,000), fiscal 2018 (3,909,500), and 308,411 shares were issued in April 2018. The First Warrant has been fully-exercised and extinguished to date.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock 

On April 19, 2016, the holder of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, agreed to convert all 500 shares of their outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into 800 shares of the Company’s common stock (a conversion ratio of 1.6:1 as provided in the original designation of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock adjusted for the Company’s 1:25 reverse stock split effective on July 25, 2015 and the Company’s 1:25 reverse stock split effective March 5, 2018), which conversion was completed on April 25, 2016. The Company paid the holder $20,000 in connection with such conversion in order to comply with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement that required that no shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock be outstanding at the closing. As of September 30, 2018, and March 31, 2018, respectively, the Company had no Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued or outstanding.  

Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

On September 1, 2016, as consideration for the closing of the Acquisition, the Company issued an aggregate of 552,000 shares of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, which had a total value of $13,800,000 based on the $25 per Series B Preferred Stock share par value. The preferred shares were issued to RAD2 (200,000 shares) and Segundo Resources, LLC (an affiliate of RAD2) (352,000 shares) on behalf of and for the benefit of RAD2.

The Company’s Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $25 per share. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder at any time following the original issuance date, into common stock at a rate of approximately 0.2857:1 (originally issuable into an aggregate of 157,714 shares of common stock if fully converted), at the option of the holder thereof, or automatically as to 25% of the Series B Preferred Stock shares if the Company’s common stock trades above $153.13 per share for at least 20 consecutive trading days, and trades with at least 3,000 shares of average volume per day during such period; an additional 50% of the Series B Preferred Stock shares if the Company’s common stock trades above $175.00 per share for at least 20 consecutive trading days, and trades with at least 3,000 shares of average volume per day during such period; and as to the remaining Series B Preferred Stock shares, if the Company’s common stock trades above $196.88 per share for at least 20 consecutive trading days, and trades with at least 3,000 shares of average volume per day during such period. Each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to one vote per share on all stockholder matters. The Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable at any time by the Company upon the payment by the Company of the face amount of the Series B Preferred Stock ($25 per share) plus any and all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. 

The Company has the option, exercisable from time to time after the original issue date, to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock by paying each applicable holder, an amount equal to the original issue price multiplied by the number of Series B Preferred shares held by each applicable holder plus the accrued dividends.

As of September 30, 2018, there were 408,508 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, which have the following features:

● a liquidation preference senior to all of the Company’s common stock;

● a dividend, payable quarterly, at an annual rate of six percent (6%) of the original issue price until such Series B Preferred Stock is no longer outstanding either due to conversion, redemption or otherwise; and

● voting rights on all matters, with each share having 1/25^th of one vote.

 As the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at any time following the original issuance date into common stock at a rate of approximately 0.2857:1, the Company recognized a fair value measurement of $14,898,038 for the Series B Preferred Stock, which is based on the 552,000 preferred shares originally issued times the conversion rate of approximately 0.2857, times the price of the Company’s common stock of $94.50 per share at the date of the closing of the Acquisition on August 25, 2016.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued a stock dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock consisting of 1,751 shares (with fair value $833 based on a share price of $0.50 per share at September 30, 2018) of the Company’s common stock. Due to the fact that the Company is in a retained deficit position, the Company recognized a charge to additional paid in-capital of $881 and stock dividends distributable but not issued based on the par value of the common stock issued. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued 1,751 shares to settle a stock dividend accrued on Series B Preferred Stock.

Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

On April 6, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the Investor, pursuant to which it agreed, subject to certain conditions, to sell 527 shares of Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock (with a face value of $5.26 million) at a 5% original issue discount of $263,000, convertible into 64,738 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $3.25 per share, and a warrant to purchase 44,444 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $112.50 per share (the “Second Warrant”).

On September 2, 2016, the Second Warrant and 53 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were issued for $526,450 ($500,000, net cash proceeds to Camber) after the Acquisition (as defined and described in “Note 2 – Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations”) closed. The prorated share of the $263,000 discount ($26,450) was recorded as reduction to additional paid in capital. On November 17, 2016, the remaining 474 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were issued for $4,736,550 ($4,500,000, net cash proceeds to Camber) and the Company paid placement agent and legal fees of $514,000 for services rendered in connection with the issuance. The Company also recognized $236,550 of the remaining 5% original issue discount, which was recorded as reduction to additional paid in capital.

On October 5, 2017, the Company and the Investor entered into the October 2017 Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which (1) the Investor purchased 212 shares of Series C Preferred Stock on the closing date of the agreement, October 4, 2017 (the “Initial Closing”), for $2 million, and agreed, subject to certain closing conditions set forth in the agreement, agreed to purchase (2) 106 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $1,000,000, 10 days after the Initial Closing (which closing occurred on November 21, 2017); (3) 105 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $1,000,000, 10 days after the second closing (which closing occurred on December 27, 2017); (4) 105 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $1,000,000, 10 days after the third closing (which closing occurred on January 30, 2018); (5) 105 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $1,000,000, 10 days after the fourth closing; (6) 525 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $5,000,000, 30 days after the fifth closing; and (7) 525 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $5,000,000, 30 days after the sixth Closing.

On October 5, 2017, the Company and the Investor entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, amended on March 2, 2018 (as amended, the “October 2017 Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, pursuant to the terms thereof, 1,684 shares of our Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) for $16 million (a 5% original issue discount to the face value of such shares), subject to certain conditions set forth therein.

On March 2, 2018, the Company and the Investor entered into an amendment to the October 2017 Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”), pursuant to which the Investor (a) waived any and all Trigger Events (as defined in the certificate of designation of the Series C Preferred Stock (the “Designation”)) that had occurred prior to March 2, 2018, (b) agreed that all calculations provided for in the Designation would be made as if no such Trigger Event had occurred, and (c) waived any right to receive any additional shares of common stock based upon any such Trigger Event, with respect to all shares of Series C Preferred Stock, other than any which have already been converted.

During the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company sold the Investor an aggregate of 633 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $6 million under the terms of the October 2017 Purchase Agreement.

The Investor also agreed, pursuant to the amendment, that the conversion rate of conversion premiums pursuant to the Designation would remain 95% of the average of the lowest 5 individual daily volume weighted average prices during the applicable Measuring Period (as defined in the Designation), not to exceed 100% of the lowest sales prices on the last day of the Measuring Period, less $0.05 per share of common stock, unless a triggering event has occurred, and that such $0.05 per share discount would not be adjusted in connection with the Company’s previously reported 1-for-25 reverse stock split affected on March 5, 2018.

The holder of the Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to cumulative dividends through maturity, which initially totaled 6% per annum, and are adjustable to up to 34.95% per annum, based on certain triggering events and the trading price of the Company’s common stock, and which currently total 34.95% per annum, payable in full through maturity upon redemption, conversion, or maturity, and when, as and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion. The Series C Preferred Stock ranks senior to the common stock and pari passu with respect to the Company’s Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock.

The Series C Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of common stock at any time at the option of the holder, or at the Company’s option if certain equity conditions (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) are met. Upon conversion, we will pay the holder of the Series C Preferred Stock being converted an amount, in cash or stock at the Company’s sole discretion, equal to the dividends that such shares would have otherwise earned if they had been held through the maturity date (7 years), and issue to the holder such number of shares of common stock equal to $10,000 per share of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Face Value”) multiplied by the number of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock divided by the conversion rate ($3.25 per share).

The conversion premium under the Series C Preferred Stock is payable and the dividend rate under the Series C Preferred Stock is adjustable on the same terms and conditions as accrued interest is payable and adjustable under the Debenture. The Series C Preferred Stock has a maturity date that is seven years after the date of issuance and, if the Series C Preferred Stock has not been wholly converted into shares of common stock prior to such date, we may redeem the Series C Preferred Stock on such date by repaying to the holder in cash 100% of the Face Value plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon. 100% of the Face Value, plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, automatically becomes payable in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up by us.

During the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2018, the Company sold 735 and 945 shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the October 2017 Purchaser Agreement, for total consideration of $7 million and $9 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, there were 1,683 and 1,132 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding, respectively.

During the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2018, the Investor converted 143 and 394 shares of the Series C Preferred stock with a face value of $1.43 million and $3.94 million and was issued 440,002 and 1,212,326 shares of common stock and additional shares of common stock in dividend premium shares of 8,533,610 and 17,184,686, respectively and true ups on those and prior conversions for an aggregate of a total of 67,587,868 shares issued during the six months ended September 30, 2018.

As of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the Company accrued common stock dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock based on the then 34.95% and 24.95% premium dividend rate per the 2016 and 2017 Stock Purchase Agreement, respectively, as described above. The Company recognized a total charge to additional paid-in capital and stock dividends distributable but not issued of $1,419,800 and $1,928,084 related to the stock dividend declared but not issued for the six month period ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended March 31, 2018, respectively.

Warrants

On October 7, 2016, the Investor exercised the First Warrant in full and was due 55,385 shares of common stock upon exercise thereof and an additional 101,709 shares of common stock in consideration for the conversion premium due thereon. A total of 32,400 shares were issued to the Investor on October 7, 2016, with the remaining shares being held in abeyance until such time as it would not result in the Investor exceeding its beneficial ownership limitation (4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock). The Company received gross proceeds of $4,500,000 from the exercise of the First Warrant and paid placement agent fees of $427,500 for services rendered in connection with the First Warrant. Pursuant to the terms of the First Warrant, the number of shares due in consideration for the conversion premium increases as the annual rate of return under the First Warrant increases, including by 10% upon the occurrence of certain triggering events (which had occurred by the October 7, 2016 date of exercise), to 17% per annum upon the exercise of the First Warrant. Additionally, as the conversion rate for the conversion premium is currently 85% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price during the measuring period, less $0.10 per share of common stock not to exceed 85% of the lowest sales prices on the last day of such period less $0.10 per share, the number of shares issuable in connection with the conversion premium increases as the trading price of the Company’s common stock decreases, and the trading price of the Company’s common stock has decreased since the date the First Warrant was exercised, triggering a further reduction in the conversion price of the conversion premium and an increase in the number of shares due to the Investor in connection with the conversion of the amount owed in connection with the conversion premium. Additionally, pursuant to the interpretation of the Investor, the measurement period for the calculation of the lowest daily volume weighted average price currently continues indefinitely.

An aggregate of 4,417,911 shares of common stock were issued to the Investor in connection with the exercise of the Warrant during fiscal 2017 (200,000), 2018 (3,909,500), and 308,411 shares were issued in April 2018. The First Warrant has been fully-exercised and extinguished to date.

At September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, outstanding warrants had an intrinsic value of $0 and $232, respectively. The intrinsic value is based upon the difference between the market price of Camber’s common stock on the date of exercise and the grant price of the stock options.

The following is a summary of the Company’s outstanding warrants at September 30, 2018:

Warrants			Exercise		Expiration		Intrinsic Value at

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform them with the current year presentation. 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, supersedes the revenue recognition requirements and industry-specific guidance under Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). Topic 606 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted Topic 606 on April 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts that were not completed as of April 1, 2018. Under the modified retrospective method, prior period financial positions and results will not be adjusted. The cumulative effect adjustment recognized in the opening balances included no significant changes as a result of this adoption. While the Company does not expect 2019 net earnings to be materially impacted by revenue recognition timing changes, Topic 606 requires certain changes to the presentation of revenues and related expenses beginning April 1, 2018. Refer to Note 9 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers for additional information. 

In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) amending the presentation of restricted cash within the consolidated statements of cash flows. The new guidance requires that restricted cash be added to cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company adopted this ASU on April 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis with the following impacts to our consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2017: 

	Previously Reported		Adjustment			As Revised
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	306,999	$	(1,517,086	)	$	(1,210,087	)

As of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the Company had restricted cash of $0 and $26,834 related to the loan agreement with IBC bank.

Following is a summary of cash and cash equivalent and restricted cash at September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018:

	September 30, 2018		March 31, 2018
Cash	$	5,331,578	$	760,317
Restricted cash – current		—		26,834
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	5,331,578	$	787,151

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). ASU 2016-15 seeks to reduce the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this ASU on April 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which amends the current definition of a business. Under ASU 2017-01, to be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contributes to the ability to create outputs. ASU 2017-01 further states that when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (or a group of similar assets), the assets acquired would not represent a business. The new guidance also narrows the definition of the term “outputs” to be consistent with how it is described in Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The changes to the definition of a business will likely result in more acquisitions being accounted for as asset acquisitions. The guidance is effective for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on April 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting”, which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company adopted this ASU on April 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements 

 The Company does not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
