EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (“Amendment”) to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Camber Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 (the “Form 10-Q”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 16, 2018, is being filed for the sole purpose of amending Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, to correct the disclosure therein relating to our total estimated proved reserves as of September 30, 2018 which was reported in error in the original Form 10-Q, due to a clerical error.

In accordance with applicable SEC rules, this Amendment also contains new certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 dated as of the date of filing of this Amendment. Because this Amendment does not include financial statements and does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the Section 302 certifications have been omitted. Accordingly, this Amendment consists solely of the preceding cover page, this explanatory note, Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the signature page, the Exhibit Index, and Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2.

Except as described above, no changes have been made to the Form 10-Q and no adjustments have been made to the Form 10-Q in connection with the Company’s 1-for-25 reverse stock split of the Company’s (a) authorized; and (b) issued and outstanding, shares of common stock, which was effective on December 24, 2018. The Form 10-Q continues to speak as of the date of the Form 10-Q, except as described above, and the Company has not updated the disclosures contained herein to reflect any events that have occurred as of a date subsequent to the date of the Form 10-Q, except as described above. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-Q and the Company’s filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-Q. The filing of this Amendment is not an admission that the Form 10-Q, when filed, included any untrue statement of a material fact necessary to make a statement not misleading.

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.

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 approximately 0.429 million barrels of oil equivalent (“Boe”), of which approximately 0.190 million barrels (“Bbls”) were crude oil reserves, approximately 0.034 million barrels (“Bbls”) were natural gas liquids, and approximately 1.232 billion cubic feet (“Bcf”) were natural gas reserves. Approximately 52% of the barrel of oil equivalent (“Boe”) was 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.

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.

Lease Operating Expenses

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.

7 

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”.

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.

	2018			2017
Cash flows used in operating activities	$	(1,833,776	)	$	(687,580	)
Cash flows used in investing activities		(2,623,797	)		(238,670	)

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.
