Victory Energy Corporation www.vyey.com This presentation contains forward - looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sectio n 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this presentation that address activities, ev ent s or developments that the Company expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward - looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward - looking statements contained in this presentation specifically include the expectations of management regarding plans, strategies, ob jec tives, anticipated financial and operating results of the Company, including as to the Company’s Wolfcamp shale resource play, estimated oil and gas in place and recoverability of the oil and gas, estimated reserves and drilling locations, capital expenditures, typical well results and well profiles, and production and operating expenses guidance included in the presentation. These statements are based on certain assumptions made by the Company based on management's exp eri ence and technical analyses, current conditions, anticipated future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate and believed to be re asonable by management. When used in this presentation, the words “will,” “potential,” “believe,” “intend,” “expect,” “may,” “should,” “anticipate,” “coul d,” “estimate,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “profile,” “model” or their negatives, other similar expressions or the statements that include those words, are in ten ded to identify forward - looking statements, although not all forward - looking statements contain such identifying words. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, which may cause actual results to differ materially from tho se implied or expressed by the forward - looking statements. In particular, careful consideration should be given to the cautionary statements and risk factors d escribed in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10 - K and the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10 - Q. Any forward - looking statement spe aks only as of the date on which such statement is made and the Company undertakes no obligation to correct or update any forward - looking statement, whethe r as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only pr oved, probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions for such terms, and price and cost sensitivities for such reserves, and prohibits disclosure of resources that do not constitute such reserves. The Company uses the terms “estimated ultimate recovery” or “EUR,” reserve or resource “potential,” “upside,” “oil and gas in place” or “OGIP,” “OIP” or “GIP,” and other descriptions of volumes of reserves potentially recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniqu es that the SEC’s rules may prohibit the Company from including in filings with the SEC. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved , p robable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized by the Company. EUR estimates, potential drilling locations, resource potential and OGIP estimates have not been risked by the Company. Actua l l ocations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from the Company’s interest may differ substantially from the Company’s estimates. There is no co mmi tment by the Company to drill all of the drilling locations that have been attributed these quantities. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the sco pe of the Company’s ongoing drilling program, which will be directly affected by the availability of capital, drilling and production costs, availability of drill ing and completion services and equipment, drilling results, lease expirations, regulatory approval and actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical fac tor s affecting recovery rates. Estimates of unproved reserves, type/decline curves, per well EUR, OGIP and resource potential may change significantly as development of the Company’s oil and gas assets provides additional data. Type/decline curves, estimated EURs, typical well - related oil and gas in place, recovery factors and well costs represent Compan y estimates based on evaluation of petrophysical analysis, core data and well logs, well performance from limited drilling and recompletion results and seismic dat a, and have not been reviewed by independent engineers. These are presented as hypothetical recoveries if assumptions and estimates regarding recoverable hydr oca rbons, OGIP, recovery factors and costs prove correct. The Company has very limited production experience with these projects, and accordingly, suc h e stimates may change significantly as results from more wells are evaluated. Estimates of resource potential, EURs and OGIP do not constitute rese rve s, but constitute estimates of contingent resources which the SEC has determined are too speculative to include in SEC filings. Unless otherwise noted, IRR est imates assume NYMEX forward - curve oil and gas pricing and Company - generated EUR and decline curve estimates based on Company drilling and completion cost estimates that do not include land, seismic or G&A costs. 2

Victory Energy Corporation www.vyey.com 17 THE LIGHTNIN’ OIL AND GAS SHALE PLAY This 320 - acre unconventional oil and gas focused resource shale play is located in Glasscock County, Texas. The Company acquired a 75% working interest (56.25% NRI) for $480,000. This prospect is covered by 2D seismic data and is surrounded by existing production from the targeted formations of Cline, Wolfberry (with Wolfcamp and Strawn), Fusselman, and horizontal Wolfcamp. The project will be operated by Unitex Oil and Gas, L.L.C., out of Midland, Texas. The company plans to drill an initial vertical test well in the third quarter of 2012. If successful, the 40 - acre spacing provides adequate acreage for up to eight wells. The company will be modeling its drilling program on the vertical wells in the area that have demonstrated ultimate recovery values ranging from 115,140 and 228,000 barrels of oil equivalent.
