~~EXPLANATORY NOTE - RESTATEMENT OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL INFORMATION PERTAINING TO DEEMED DIVIDENDS~~

This Amendment No. 1 to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amendment”) amends the quarterly report of Viking Energy Group, Inc. (the “Company”) for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 15, 2021 (the “Original 10-Q”), to restate the financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The modification of preferred stock rights that includes adding a substantive conversion option requires the modification to be treated as a redemption of the preferred shares and any difference between the fair value of the modified preferred shares and the carrying amount of the preferred shares be subtracted (or added) to net income to arrive at income available to common shareholders in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10-S99-2. Consequently, we have recognized a deemed dividend in determining net income or loss attributable to common shareholders as reported in the Statement of Operations and utilized in computing earnings or loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The deemed dividend has no impact on the Company’s (i) balance sheet, (ii) reported revenues and expenses, and (iii) statement of cash flows.

The Company is amending the Original 10-Q to recognize the fair value of the deemed dividend in the amount of $14,546,677 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020; such deemed dividend had not been previously recognized. This restatement has no impact on financial position and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Except as described above and in note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and in “Item 4. Controls and Procedures,” no other information included in the Original 10-Q is being amended or updated by this Amendment, and this Amendment does not purport to reflect any information or events subsequent to the Original 10-Q. This Amendment continues to describe the conditions as of the date of the Original 10-Q, and, except as expressly described herein, the Company has not updated, modified or supplemented the disclosures contained in the Original 10-Q. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original 10-Q, the 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2020, and with the Company’s filings with the SEC subsequent to the Original 10-Q.

Clean Energy and Carbon-Capture System:

In August 2021, the Company ~~recently~~ entered into a license agreement with ESG Clean Energy, LLC (“ESG”), to utilize ESG’s patent rights and know-how related to stationary electric power generation and heat and carbon dioxide capture (the “ESG Clean Energy System”). The intellectual property licensed by Viking includes certain patents and/or patent applications, including: (i) U.S. Patent No.: 10,774,733, File date: October 24, 2018, Issue date: September 15, 2020, Titled: “Bottoming Cycle Power System”; (ii) European Patent Application No.: EP18870699.8, International File date: October 24, 2018, Titled: “Bottoming Cycle Power System”; (iii) U.S. Patent Application No.: 17/224,200, File date: April 7, 2021, Titled: “Bottoming Cycle Power System” (which was subsequently approved by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office in March, 2022 (No. 11,286,832); (iv) U.S. Patent Application No.: 17/358,197, File date: June 25, 2021, Titled: “Bottoming Cycle Power System”; (v) U.S. Patent Application No.: 17/448,943, File date: September 27, 2021, Titled: “Systems and Methods Associated With Bottoming Cycle Power Systems for Generating Power and Capturing Carbon Dioxide”; and (vi) U.S. Patent Application No.: 17/448,938, File date: September 27, 2021, Titled: “Systems and Methods Associated With Bottoming Cycle Power Systems for Generating Power, Capturing Carbon Dioxide and Producing Products.

The ESG Clean Energy System is designed to, among other things, generate clean electricity from internal combustion engines and utilize waste heat to capture approximately 100% of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from the engine without loss of efficiency, and in a manner to facilitate the production of certain commodities. Patent No. 11,286,832, for example, covers the invention of an “exhaust-gas-to-exhaust-gas heat exchanger” that efficiently cools - and then reheats - exhaust from a primary power generator so greater energy output can be achieved by a secondary power source with safe ventilation. Another key aspect of this patent is the development of a carbon dioxide capture system that utilizes the waste heat of the carbon dioxide pump to heat and regenerate the adsorber that enables carbon dioxide to be safely contained and packaged.

The Company intends to sell, lease ~~and~~and/or sub-license the ESG Clean Energy System to third parties using, among ~~others,~~other things, Simson-Maxwell’s existing distribution ~~channels, and the~~channels.

As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company has a stockholders’ ~~deficit~~equity of ~~$8,115,975~~$28,582,925 and ~~total~~ long-term debt of ~~$93,007,847.~~$7,648,602. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company has a working capital deficiency of ~~approximately $60,000,000.~~$9,608,589. The largest components of current liabilities creating this working capital deficiency are (i) ~~notes~~accounts payable ~~with a face value aggregating~~of approximately $4.7 ~~million as of September 30, 2021 due in February of 2022;~~million; (ii) a revolving credit facility with a balance of ~~$5,665,000 as of September 30, 2021 due in January of 2022; (iii) a derivative liability of $16,074,519; and (iv) Elysium Energy Holdings’ term loan agreement with a face value of~~ approximately ~~$30.7~~$4.1 million as of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022 due in June of 2022; and (iii) $8.4 million non-interest-bearing loans from Camber Energy, Inc. with ~~a maturity date of August 3, 2022.~~no stipulated repayment terms.

As further described in Note 2,1, Viking has Guaranteed Camber Energy’s indebtedness to Discover, as well as entered into a Security Agreement in ~~October 2021 the Company transferred its~~favor of Discover granting Discover a first-priority security interest in ~~each~~any assets purchased by Viking with funds advanced to Viking by Camber that were loaned by Discover. In the event of ~~Ichor Energy Holdings~~a default by Camber, Viking may be called upon to honor its obligations under the Guaranty and ~~Elysium Energy Holdings to third parties. As a result,~~Security Agreements executed by Viking in favor of Discover. The Company believes the ~~Company no longer has the assets and liabilities (including debt and derivatives mentioned in the above paragraph) within such entities.~~

Further, oil and gas price volatility and the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic have already had and may continue to have a negative impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Negative impacts could include but are not limited to: the Company’s ability to sell its products and services, reduction in the selling price of the Company’s products and services, possible disruption of production as a result of worker illness or mandated production shutdowns, the Company’s ability to maintain compliance with loan covenants and/or refinance existing indebtedness, and access to new capital and financing.

~~Nonetheless, these~~These conditions (primarily related to debt maturities and the Discover guarantee) raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to utilize the resources in place to generate future profitable operations, to develop additional acquisition opportunities, and to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from business operations when they come due. Management believes the Company may be able to continue to develop new opportunities and may be able to obtain additional funds through debt and / or equity financings to facilitate its business strategy; however, there is no assurance of additional funding being available. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company have to curtail operations or be unable to continue in existence.

Note ~~4. Restatement of previously issued financial statements~~

On August 31, 2020, the Company filed an amended Certificate of Designation (the “August Amendment”) regarding the rights associated with Viking’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) in connection with an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “2020 Merger Agreement”) in effect at the time between the Company and Camber Energy, Inc. (“Camber”). The August Amendment modified the conversion and voting entitlements associated with the Preferred Shares in anticipation of a full combination between Viking and Camber. The voting entitlements were reduced from 37,500 votes per share to 4,900 votes per share, and the conversion entitlements were increased from 1 share of common for 1 share of preferred to 4,900 shares of common for 1 share of preferred, increasing the number of common shares issuable upon conversion from 28,092 to 137,650,800. The conversion ratio was modified to give value to the holder in exchange for ceding voting control of Viking.

The modification of preferred stock rights that includes adding a substantive conversion option requires the modification to be treated as a redemption of the preferred shares and any difference between the fair value of the modified preferred shares and the carrying amount of the preferred shares be subtracted (or added) to net income to arrive at income available to common shareholders in accordance with ASC 260-10-S99-2. Consequently, the Company has recognized a deemed dividend in determining net income or loss attributable to common shareholders as reported in the Statement of Operations and utilized in computing earnings or loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The recognition of the deemed dividend had no impact on the Company’s (i) balance sheet, (ii) reported revenues and expenses, and (iii) statement of cash flows.

~~The Company is restating the Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 to recognize the fair value of the deemed dividend in the amount of $14,546,677.~~

~~Note 5.~~4 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and the interim reporting rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Viking’s latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments (unless otherwise indicated), necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Table of Contents

b) Basis of Consolidation

The financial statements presented herein reflect the consolidated financial results of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Mid-Con Petroleum, LLC, Mid-Con Drilling, LLC, and Mid-Con Development, LLC, which were all formed to provide a base of operations for properties in the Central United States, and Petrodome Energy, LLC, Ichor Holdings, LLC, Ichor Energy, LLC, Ichor Energy (TX), LLC, and Ichor Energy (LA), LLC., Elysium Energy Holdings, LLC, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Elysium Energy, LLC, Elysium Energy TX, LLC, Elysium Energy LA, LLC, Pointe A La Hache, L.L.C., Potash, L.L.C., Ramos Field, L.L.C., and Turtle Bayou, L.L.C., all based in Houston, Texas which provides a base of operations to facilitate property acquisitions in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Additionally, these financial statements also include financial results of Simson-Maxwell using the equity method from August 6, 2021 through October 18, 2021, and consolidated results subsequent to October 18, 2021.

In January 2022, the Company acquired a 51% ownership interest Viking Ozone, and in February 2022, the Company acquired a 51% ownership interest in both Viking Sentinel and Viking Protection. These entities were formed to facilitate the monetization of acquired intellectual properties (see Note 8). These entities are variable interest entities in which the Company owns a controlling financial interest; consequently, these entities are also consolidated.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

c) Foreign Currency

Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Results of operations and cash flows of businesses conducted in foreign currency are translated using the average exchange rates throughout the period. The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on translation of assets and liabilities is included as a component of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions have been insignificant.

~~Table of Contents~~

d) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and timing of revenues and expenses, the reported amounts and classification of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill, fair value of commodity derivatives, stock-based compensation, asset retirement obligations, and the determination of expected tax rates for future income tax recoveries.

The estimates of proved, probable and possible oil and gas reserves are used as significant inputs in determining the depletion of oil and gas properties and the impairment of proved and unproved oil and gas properties. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved, probable and possible reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Similarly, evaluations for impairment of proved and unproved oil and gas properties are subject to numerous uncertainties including, among others, estimates of future recoverable reserves and commodity price outlooks. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions utilized.

~~e) Financial Instruments~~

The Company discloses the fair value of its financial instruments under a three-level valuation hierarchy. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for deposits, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, accounts payable, derivative liabilities, amount due to director, and convertible notes each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

•

~~Level 1: inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.~~

•

Level 2: inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

•

~~Level 3: inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.~~

~~Assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of September 30, 2021 are classified below based on the three fair value hierarchy described above:~~

The Company has entered into certain commodity derivative instruments containing swaps and collars, which management believes are effective in mitigating commodity price risk associated with a portion of its future monthly natural gas and crude oil production and related cash flows. The Company does not designate its commodities derivative instruments as hedges and therefore does not apply hedge accounting. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments subsequent to the initial measurement are recorded as change in fair value on derivative liability, in other income (expense). The estimated fair value amounts of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments have been determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information which resulted in the Company classifying such derivatives as Level 2. Although the Company’s commodity derivative instruments are valued using public indices, as well as the Black-Sholes model, the instruments themselves are traded with unrelated counterparties and are not openly traded on an exchange.

In a commodities swap agreement, the Company trades the fluctuating market prices of oil or natural gas at specific delivery points over a specified period, for fixed prices. As a producer of oil and natural gas, the Company holds these commodity derivatives to protect the operating revenues and cash flows related to a portion of its future natural gas and crude oil sales from the risk of significant declines in commodity prices, which helps reduce exposure to price risk and improves the likelihood of funding its capital budget. If the price of a commodity rises above what the Company has agreed to receive in the swap agreement, the amount that it agreed to pay the counterparty is expected to be offset by the increased amount it received for its production.

The Company has also entered into collar agreements related to oil and gas production with established floors and ceilings. Upon settlement, if the current market price of the commodity is below the floor, the Company receives the difference. Conversely, if the current market price of the commodity is above the ceiling at settlement, the Company pays the excess over the ceiling price.

~~Table of Contents~~

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

The derivative assets were $0 and $1,220,209 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and the derivative liabilities were $16,074,519 and $893,458 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 consisted of an increase of $12,976,173 associated with commodity derivatives existing at the beginning of 2021.

~~The derivatives above were all held by Ichor Energy Holdings and Elysium Energy Holdings. As described in Note 2, in October 2021 these derivative contracts were assumed by third parties~~

f) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid investment securities that have original maturities of three months or less. Accounts at banks in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000, while accounts at banks in Canada are insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”) up to $100,000. At ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company ~~has cash deposits~~had $2,202,551 and $2,246,407 in excess of the FDIC and CDIC insured limits, ~~in the amounts of $5,343,503 and $3,726,783,~~ respectively.

Restricted cash in the amount of $3,721,993 as of September 30, 2021 consists of $2,145,796 held by Ichor Energy, LLC and/or its subsidiaries and $1,576,197 held Elysium Energy, LLC and/or its subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement to which Ichor Energy, LLC, and its subsidiaries are parties, following March 31, 2019 the company is required at all times to maintain a minimum cash balance of $2,000,000 (the “MLR”). Within 30 days of the end of each quarter, commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the company is required to pay the lenders, as an additional principal payment on the debt, any cash in excess of (i) the MLR and (ii) any funds necessary for the capital expenditures contemplated to be expended in the next six-month period by an approved plan of development (“APOD Capex Amount”). At September 30, 2021, the restricted cash did not exceed the MLR and the APOD Capex Amount.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement to which Elysium Energy, LLC and its subsidiaries are parties, all receipts are to be deposited to a lockbox account under the control of the administrative agent, and then subsequently transferred for operations to the company’s bank accounts, all of which are subject to deposit account control agreements. The aggregate amount of unencumbered cash held in any Operating Account is not to be less than $2,500,000 for the period commencing June 30, 2021 through and including the Maturity Date. Commencing with the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the company is required to make mandatory prepayments of principal equal to 75% of Excess Cash Flow as defined in the agreement.

g) Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable ~~consist of~~for the Company’s oil and gas operations consist of purchaser receivables and joint interest billing receivables. The Company evaluates these accounts receivable for collectability and, when necessary, records allowances for expected unrecoverable amounts. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company determined that the collectability of certain accounts receivable balances associated with the disposals of Ichor and Elysium, as described in Note 2, had become questionable, and that a reserve of $1.8 million should be recorded. The Company has recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of ~~$217,057~~$2,267,057 at ~~September~~March 31, 2022 and $754,472 at December 31, 2021.

The Company extends credit to its power generation customers in the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and generally do not require collateral. Payment terms are generally 30 ~~2021~~days. The Company carries its trade accounts receivable at invoice amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon management’s estimates that include a review of the history of past write-offs and collections and an analysis of current credit conditions. As of March 31, 2022, the Company established a reserve for doubtful power generation accounts of approximately $40,000. The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable.

h) Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and consist of parts, equipment and work in process on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Work-in-process and finished goods included the cost of materials, direct labor and overhead. At the closing of each reporting period, the Company evaluates its inventory in order to adjust the inventory balance for obsolete and slow-moving items.

Inventory consisted of the following at March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021:

		March 31, 2022			December 31, 2021
Units and work in process		$	4,635,907		$	4,125,451

		$	5,950,858		$	5,490,435

i) Notes Receivable

h)As of March 31, 2022, note’s receivable included five secured promissory notes due from New Rise Processing Reno, LLC in the amounts of $1,500,000, $500,000, $1,000,000, $500,000 and $460,000, for a combined total of $3,960,000. The notes are secured by a 20% membership interest in RESC /Renewable Holdings, LLC, and bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and with a maturity date of June 30, 2022.

Table of Contents

j) Prepaid expenses

Prepaid expenses ~~represent~~include amounts paid in advance for certain operational expenses, as well as amounts paid through the issuance of restricted shares of stock for future contractual benefits to be received. These advances are amortized over the life of the contract using the straight-line method.

i)k) Oil and Gas Properties

The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for its investment in oil and natural gas properties. Under this method of accounting, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs, are capitalized. General and administrative costs related to production and general overhead are expensed as incurred.

All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized on the unit of production method using estimates of proved reserves. Disposition of oil and gas properties are accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in operations. Unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is included in loss from operations before income taxes.

j)l) Limitation on Capitalized Costs

Under the full-cost method of accounting, we are required, at the end of each reporting date, to perform a test to determine the limit on the book value of our oil and natural gas properties (the “Ceiling” test). If the capitalized costs of our oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated amortization and related deferred income taxes, exceed the Ceiling, this excess or impairment is charged to expense. The expense may not be reversed in future periods, even though higher oil and natural gas prices may subsequently increase the Ceiling. The Ceiling is defined as the sum of:

(a) the present value, discounted at 10 percent, and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions, of 1) estimated future gross revenues from proved reserves, which is computed using oil and natural gas prices determined as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month hedging arrangements pursuant to SAB 103, less 2) estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves, plus

~~Table of Contents~~

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

(d) the related tax effects related to the difference between the book and tax basis of our oil and natural gas properties.

Table of Contents

m) Oil and Gas Reserves

Reserve engineering is a subjective process that is dependent upon the quality of available data and the interpretation thereof, including evaluations and extrapolations of well flow rates and reservoir pressure. Estimates by different engineers often vary sometimes significantly. In addition, physical factors such as the results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of an estimate, as well as economic factors such as changes in product prices, may justify revision of such estimates. Because proved reserves are required to be estimated using recent prices of the evaluation, estimated reserve quantities can be significantly impacted by changes in product prices.

l)n) Investment in Unconsolidated Entity

The Company accounts for its investment in unconsolidated entities under the equity method of accounting when it (i) ~~owns less than 51% of~~does not have a controlling financial interest ~~in the entity or~~and (ii) has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the entity. As described in Note 2, during August 2021 the Company acquired a 60.5% interest in Simson-Maxwell. Pursuant to a shareholder agreement in effect as of September 30, 2021, the Company did not have the ability to control the operating and financial policies of the entity as of such date, and as such has accounted for such ownership under the equity method of accounting. The investment is adjusted for its proportionate share of earnings or losses of the entity.

For the period from August 6, 2021 (the date acquired) through September 30, 2021 Simson-Maxwell had total revenues of approximately $3.5 million and net income of $78,961. The table below shows the changes in the Investment in Unconsolidated Entities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

On October 18, 2021, the shareholder agreement was amended, resulting in Viking having control over Simson-Maxwell. As a result, commencing with the date of the amendment, the Company ~~will include~~has included Simson-Maxwell in its consolidation.

o) Accounting for leases

The Company uses the right-of-use (“ROU”) model to account for leases where the Company is the lessee, which requires an entity to recognize a lease liability and ROU asset on the lease commencement date. A lease liability is measured equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term and is discounted using the incremental borrowing rate, as the rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Lease payments include payments made before the commencement date and any residual value guarantees, if applicable. When determining the lease term, the Company includes option periods that it is reasonably certain to exercise as failure to renew the lease would impose a significant economic detriment.

Table of Contents

For operating leases, minimum lease payments or receipts, including minimum scheduled rent increases, are recognized as rent expense where the Company is a lessee on a straight-line basis (“Straight-Line Rent”) over the applicable lease terms. The excess of the Straight-Line Rent over the minimum rents paid is included in the ROU asset where the Company is a lessee. Short-term lease cost for operating leases includes rental expense for leases with a term of less than 12 months.

The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance for the revised lease standard, which allowed Viking to carry forward the historical lease classification, retain the initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to the adoption of the standard and not reassess whether any contracts entered into prior to the adoption are leases. The Company also elected to account for lease and non-lease components in lease agreements as a single lease component in determining lease assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company elected not to recognize the right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of one year or less.

p) Business Combinations

The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired customer lists, acquired technology, and trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.

q) Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at least annually and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after completing the assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company will proceed to a quantitative test. The Company may also elect to perform a quantitative test instead of a qualitative test for any or all of our reporting units. The test compares the fair value of an entity’s reporting units to the carrying value of those reporting units. This quantitative test requires various judgments and estimates. The Company estimates the fair value of the reporting unit using a market approach in combination with a discounted operating cash flow approach. Impairment of goodwill is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over the fair values of recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities of the reporting unit.

Table of Contents

m)The Company preliminarily recorded goodwill of $252,290 in connection with the October 18, 2021 acquisition of Simson-Maxwell. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no indicators of potential impairment of goodwill. The Company plans to perform its goodwill impairment test annually in September.

r) Intangible assets

Intangible assets ~~represent~~include amounts capitalized for the Company’s license agreement with ESG Clean Energy, LLC as described in ~~Notes 2 and 5.~~Note 2. This asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the related patents being licensed, which is approximately 16 years.

The Company reviews these intangible assets for possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances that the assets carrying amount may not be recoverable. In evaluating the future benefit of its intangible assets, the Company estimates the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows of the intangible assets over the remaining estimated useful life. If the carrying amount is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded for the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value.

n)s) Income (loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and adjusted by any effects of warrants and options outstanding during the period, if dilutive. For the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 there were approximately ~~48,182,727~~15,499,390 common stock equivalents that were omitted from the calculation of diluted income per share as they were ~~not dilutive~~anti-dilutive.

o)t) Revenue Recognition

Oil and Gas Revenues

Sales of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids (NGLs) are included in revenue when production is sold to a customer in fulfillment of performance obligations under the terms of agreed contracts. Performance obligations primarily comprise delivery of oil, gas, or NGLs at a delivery point, as negotiated within each contract. Each barrel of oil, million BTU (MMBtu) of natural gas, or other unit of measure is separately identifiable and represents a distinct performance obligation to which the transaction price is allocated. Performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time once control of the product has been transferred to the customer. The Company considers a variety of facts and circumstances in assessing the point of control transfer, including but not limited to: whether the purchaser can direct the use of the hydrocarbons, the transfer of significant risks and rewards, the Company’s right to payment, and transfer of legal title. In each case, the time between delivery and when payments are due is not significant.

Power Generation Revenues

Through its 60.5% ownership in Simson-Maxwell, the Company manufactures and sells power generation products, services and custom energy solutions. Simson-Maxwell provides commercial and industrial clients with emergency power generation capabilities. Simson Maxwell’s derives its revenues as follows:

Sale of power generation units. Simson-Maxwell manufactures and assembles power generation solutions. The solutions may consist of one or more units and are generally customized for each customer. Contracts are required to be executed for each customized solution. The contracts generally require customers to submit non-refundable progress payments for measurable milestones delineated in the contract. The Company considers the completed unit or units to be a single performance obligation for purposes of revenue recognition and recognizes revenue when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery to the customer. Sales, use, value add and other similar taxes assessed by governmental authorities and collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Progress payments are recognized as contract liabilities until the completed unit is delivered. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the transfer of the units, which is generally the price stated in the contract. The Company does not allow returns because of the customized nature of the units and does not offer discounts, rebates, or other promotional incentives or allowances to customers. Simson-Maxwell has elected to recognize the cost for freight activities when control of the product has transferred to the customer as an expense within cost of goods.

At the request of certain customers, the Company will warehouse inventory billed to the customer but not delivered. Unless all revenue recognition criteria have been met, the Company does not recognize revenue on these transactions until the customer takes possession of the product.

Table of Contents

2.	Parts Revenue- Simpson Maxwell sells spare parts and replacement parts to its customers. Simson-Maxwell is an authorized parts distributor for a number of national and international power generation manufacturers. The Company considers the purchase orders for parts, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with the customers. For each contract, the Company considers the commitment to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the transfer of product, which is generally the price stated in the contract specific for each item sold, adjusted for the value of expected returns. Sales, use, value add and other similar taxes assessed by governmental authorities and collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Simson-Maxwell has elected to recognize the cost for freight activities when control of the product has transferred to the customer as an expense within cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Parts revenues are recognized at the point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery to the customer.

3.	Service and repairs- Simson-Maxwell offers service and repair of various types of power generation systems. Service and repairs are generally performed on customer owned equipment and billed based on labor hours incurred. Each repair is considered a performance obligation. As a result of control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. Simson-Maxwell generally uses the cost-to-cost measure of progress for its service work because the customer controls the asset as it is being serviced. Most service and repairs are completed within one or two days.

The following table disaggregates Simson-Maxwell’s revenue by source for the three months ended March 31, 2022:

Power Generation Units	$	972,093
Parts		1,165,508
Total Units and Parts		2,137,601
Service and repairs		2,103,699
	$	4,241,300

u) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the consolidated financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities by using estimated tax rates for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities to the extent that we believe that these assets and/or liabilities are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If we determine that the Company would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

Table of Contents

In assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets, management evaluated whether it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of its deferred tax assets, will be realized. The realization of its deferred tax assets relates directly to the Company’s ability to generate taxable income. The valuation allowance is then adjusted accordingly.

q)v) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company may issue stock options to employees and stock options or warrants to non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The cost of stock options and warrants issued to employees and non-employees is measured on the grant date based on the fair value. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period.

The fair value of stock options and warrants is determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option model requires management to make various estimates and assumptions, including expected term, expected volatility, risk-free rate, and dividend yield. The expected term represents the period of time that stock-based compensation awards granted are expected to be outstanding and is estimated based on considerations including the vesting period, contractual term and anticipated employee exercise patterns. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in relation to the contractual life of stock-based compensation instrument. The dividend yield assumption is based on historical patterns and future expectations for the Company dividends.

r)w) Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company, at least annually, is required to review its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally determined by using the ~~asset's~~asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value. The Company estimates fair value of the assets based on certain assumptions such as budgets, internal projections, and other available information as considered necessary. There is no impairment of long-lived assets during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020.~~2021.

s)x) Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations

Asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) primarily represent the estimated present value of the amount the Company will incur to plug, abandon and remediate its producing properties at the projected end of their productive lives, in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws. The Company determined its ARO by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to the obligation. The retirement obligation is recorded as a liability at its estimated present value as of the obligation’s inception, with an offsetting increase to proved properties.

The following table describes the changes in the Company’s asset retirement obligations for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Note 5. Acquisition of Simson-Maxwell

Effective August 6, 2021, Viking entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Simmax Corp., (“Simmax”), Remora EQ LP, (“Remora”), and Simson-Maxwell Ltd., (“Simson”), pursuant to which Viking agreed to purchase 419 Class A Common Shares of Simson from Simmax and 555 Class A Common Shares of Simson from Remora for a total purchase price of CA$3,998,045 (approx. US$3,198,936) (the “Purchase Price”).

Simultaneously, effective August 6, 2021, Viking entered into a Subscription Agreement with Simson (the “Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which Viking agreed to purchase from Simson 1,462 Class A Common Shares of Simson for a purchase price of CA$6,001,641.58 (approx. US $4,799,009. (the “Subscription Price”).

These acquisitions resulted in Viking owning a total of 2,436 Class A Common Shares of Simson, representing approximately 60.5% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Simson.

Also on August 6, 2021, Viking entered into a Unanimous Shareholders Agreement with Simmax, Remora and Simson regarding the ownership and governance of Simson, and pursuant to which Viking shall nominate two members of the Board of Directors of Simson, Simmax shall nominate one member of the Simson Board, Remora shall nominate one member of the Simson Board, and Viking, Remora and Simmax shall jointly nominate the fifth member of the Simson Board.

Table of Contents

The August 6, 2021 amendment also contained certain provisions that required 2/3rds majority of the Board to vote for changes in the capital budget of the company, capital expenditures in excess of $250k and other provisions generally considered to be participatory rights, which would preclude Viking from consolidating Simson.

On October 18, 2021, the company amended the Unanimous Shareholders Agreement with Simmax, Remora and Simson to increase the number of board member to 5 with three board members nominated by Viking and to require two thirds approval of the board of directors only for matters affecting issuance of dilutive shares, dissolution of Simson and other matters that generally would protect non-controlling shareholders. The changes to the Unanimous Shareholders Agreement on October 18, 2021 rescinded the two thirds Board approval requirement for all matters except those that are protective in nature, at which point, Viking obtained control of Simson.

As a result, Simson-Maxwell is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements under the equity method from August 6, 2021 to October 18, 2021 and is consolidated from the effective date (October 18, 2021) of the acquisition. The recorded cost of this acquisition was based upon the fair market value of the assets acquired based on an independent valuation.

The total value of the consideration given was determined as follows:

Cash consideration – August 6, 2021	$	7,958,159
Equity in earnings (losses) through October 18, 2021		(178,942	)

Total value of consideration given – October 18, 2021	$	7,779,217

The preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with this acquisition are as follows:

Total Purchase Price	$	7,779,217

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities including the recognition of a 39.5% noncontrolling interest
Cash	$	5,668,384

Fair value of goodwill	$	252,290

Table of Contents

The Company is still in the process of determining fair value for certain assets and liabilities. All amounts are considered preliminary and subject to adjustment.

The Company has determined, on a provisional basis, a valuation of goodwill and noncontrolling interest, which approximate $252,290 and $4,914,275, respectively. Goodwill is driven by other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition and is not deductible for tax purposes.

Proforma financial data is not presented as it was impractical to do so as Simpson-Maxwell did not have quarterly information prepared utilizing an acceptable basis of accounting.

The Company consolidates any VIEs in which it holds a variable interest and is the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE, is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about an entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally the entity that has (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of three VIEs, Viking Ozone, Viking Sentinel and Viking Protection, and consolidates the financial results of these entities. Following are the required disclosures associated with the Company’s consolidated VIEs:

Legal matters

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

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

Note ~~12.~~~~Other Subsequent~~ ~~Events~~14. Income Taxes

~~Equity Issuances:~~The Company has estimated net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $55,400,000 and $44,200,000 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The potential benefit of these net operating losses has not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not that it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years. In December 2017, tax legislation was enacted limiting the deduction for net operating losses from taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 to 80% of current year taxable income, eliminating net operating loss carrybacks for losses arising in taxable years ending after December 31, 2017, and allowing net operating losses to be carried forward indefinitely. On March 27, 2020 the Coronavirus Aid Relief, and Economic Security Act was enacted which modified the prior legislation to allow 100% of the net operating losses arising in tax years 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back five years. The Company does not have taxable income available in the carryback period. Net operating losses originating in taxable years beginning prior to January 1, 2018 are still subject to former carryover rules. The net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to this date of approximately $11,000,000 will expire between 2022 through 2038.

~~During October~~The Company files income tax returns on a consolidated basis in the United States federal jurisdiction. As of December 31, 2021, the ~~Company issued 5,495 shares of common stock in exchange~~tax returns for ~~services.~~

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

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

Table of Contents

Oil and Gas Property Accounting

The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for its investment in oil and natural gas properties. Under this method of accounting, all costs of acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties (including such costs as leasehold acquisition costs, geological expenditures, dry hole costs, tangible and intangible development costs and direct internal costs) are capitalized as the cost of oil and natural gas properties when incurred.

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

Proved Reserves

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

i.	the quality and quantity of available data;

ii.	the interpretation of that data;

iii.	the accuracy of various mandated economic assumptions; and

iv.	the judgment of the persons preparing the estimate.

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

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

~~Table of Contents~~

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

Table of Contents

Asset Retirement Obligation

Asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) primarily represent the estimated present value of the amount we will incur to plug, abandon and remediate our producing properties at the projected end of their productive lives, in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws. We determined our ARO by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to the obligation. The retirement obligation is recorded as a liability at its estimated present value as of the obligation’s inception, with an offsetting increase to proved properties. Periodic accretion of discount of the estimated liability is recorded as accretion expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

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

~~Commodity derivatives~~Revenue Recognition

Oil and Gas Revenues

Power Generation Revenues

Through its 60.5% ownership in Simson-Maxwell, the Company manufactures and sells power generation products, services and custom energy solutions.

Sale of Power Generation Units

The Company considers the completed unit or units to be a single performance obligation for purposes of revenue recognition and recognizes revenue when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery to the customer. Progress payments are recognized as contract liabilities until the completed unit is delivered. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the transfer of the units, which is generally the price stated in the contract. The Company does not ~~designate its commodities derivative instruments as hedges~~allow returns because of the customized nature of the units and ~~therefore~~ does not ~~apply hedge accounting. Changes in fair value~~offer discounts, rebates, or other promotional incentives or allowances to customers. Simson-Maxwell has elected to recognize the cost for freight activities when control of ~~derivative instruments subsequent~~the product has transferred to the ~~initial measurement are recorded~~customer as ~~change in fair value on derivative liability, in other income (expense). The estimated fair value amounts~~an expense within cost of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments have been determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information which resulted in the Company classifying such derivatives as Level 2. Although the Company’s commodity derivative instruments are valued using public indices, as well as the Black-Sholes model, the instruments themselves are traded with unrelated counterparties and are not openly traded on an exchange.goods.

Parts Revenue

The Company considers the purchase orders for parts, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with the customers. For each contract, the Company considers the commitment to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the transfer of product, which is generally the price stated in the contract specific for each item sold, adjusted for the value of expected returns. Simson-Maxwell has elected to recognize the cost for freight activities when control of the product has transferred to the customer as an expense within cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Parts revenues are recognized at the point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery to the customer.

Service and Repairs

Service and repairs are generally performed on customer owned equipment and billed based on labor hours incurred. Each repair is considered a performance obligation. As a result of control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. Simson-Maxwell generally uses the cost-to-cost measure of progress for its service work because the customer controls the asset as it is being serviced. Most service and repairs are completed in one or two days.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include amounts capitalized for the Company’s license agreement with ESG Clean Energy, LLC as described in Note 2. This asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the related patents being licensed, which is approximately 16 years.

Additionally, with the acquisition of Simson-Maxwell, the Company identified other intangible assets consisting of customer relationships (which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years) and Simson-Maxwell brand (which is not being amortized) with an aggregate appraised fair value $3,908,126.

With the acquisition of a 51% interest in Viking Ozone, Viking Sentinel and Viking Protection, as described in Note 8, the Company has aggregate intangible assets of $15,433,340. These assets have an indefinite life and are not being amortized.

The Company reviews these intangible assets, at least annually, for possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances that the assets carrying amount may not be recoverable. In evaluating the future benefit of its intangible assets, the Company estimates the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows of the intangible assets over the remaining estimated useful life. If the carrying amount is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded for the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value.

The Company did not record any impairment of intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, have been evaluated, and, based upon this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer has concluded that these controls and procedures are not effective in providing reasonable assurance of compliance.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls and procedures and the Company's internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. There were no changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting during the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2021.~~

Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls and procedures and the Company's internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. Other than the material weakness described below, there were no changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

~~Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting~~

Due to the events that led to the restatement of our financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020, management has identified a material weakness in our internal controls related to the accounting for preferred stock and changes in preferred stock certificates of designation, as described in note 4 to the accompanying condensed financial statements.

Management has engaged a consulting firm to assist management in assessing and determining the proper accounting for complex transactions. The Company believes the foregoing efforts will effectively remediate the material weakness. Because the reliability of the internal control process requires repeatable execution, the successful on-going remediation of the material weakness will require on-going review and evidence of effectiveness prior to concluding that the controls are effective. The Company's remediation efforts are underway; however, there is no assurance that the remediation efforts will be effective in the future or that additional material weaknesses will not develop or be identified.March 31, 2022.

Mr. Doris is an integral part of all material elements of our existing operations and immediate growth initiatives. We do not have a long-term employment or other agreement with Mr. Doris. If he ceases to be involved with us for any reason, our operations would likely be disrupted, and our business would likely be harmed.

~~We only own approximately 60.5% of Simson-Maxwell, and other Simson-Maxwell stakeholders are able to exercise some control over its operations.~~

We do not own 100% of Simson-Maxwell, but rather we own approximately 60.5% of Simson-Maxwell’s issued and outstanding shares. We are a party to a Shareholders’ Agreement regarding the ownership and governance of Simson-Maxwell, and although we are entitled to elect the majority of the directors of Simson-Maxwell, we have to obtain approval from at least one other shareholder of Simson-Maxwell in connection with the following matters:

any fundamental change to the corporate structure of the Simson-Maxwell and/or any subsidiary of Simson-Maxwell if such fundamental change is dilutive to the existing shareholders, including without limitation, in respect of each such entity: any amendment, modification, repeal or other variation to its articles, any amendment to its authorized share capital, or any proposal to create, reclassify, re-designate, subdivide, consolidate, or otherwise change any shares (whether issued or unissued) or partnership units, as the case may be;

	·	the issuance of any shares in the capital of the Simson-Maxwell and/or any subsidiary of Simson-Maxwell or any securities, warrants, options or rights convertible into, exchangeable for, or carrying the right to subscribe for or purchase, shares in the capital of the Simson-Maxwell and/or any subsidiary of Simson-Maxwell, as the case may be, if such issuance is dilutive to the existing shareholders;

	·	the redemption or purchase for cancellation of any shares in the capital of the Simson-Maxwell and/or any subsidiary of Simson-Maxwell, or any other return of capital by the Simson-Maxwell and/or any subsidiary of Simson-Maxwell, other than any purchase of shares in accordance with the Shareholders’ Agreement;

	·	the conversion, exchange, reclassification, re-designation, subdivision, consolidation, or other change of or to any shares in the capital of the Simson-Maxwell and/or any subsidiary of Simson-Maxwell if any such action is dilutive to the existing shareholders;

	·	~~any change in the registered office of the Simson-Maxwell and/or any subsidiary of Simson-Maxwell.~~

~~Profitability & Expansion initiatives at Simson-Maxwell are not guaranteed.~~

The Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, Simson-Maxwell, provides power generation products, services and custom energy solutions to commercial and industrial clients, primarily in Canada. Simson-Maxwell is not currently operating at a profit and the Company’s objective is to assist Simson-Maxwell with becoming profitable and expanding Simson-Maxwell’s business throughout North America. There can be no assurance either will occur as both initiatives are subject to a number of risks and influences, including several beyond the Company’s control.

~~The Camber Energy merger may not ever be consummated.~~

There is no guaranty we will complete the Merger with Camber Energy. If the Merger is not consummated, we intend to up-list directly to a national stock exchange, but there is no guaranty any such up-listing will occur.

As at the date hereof, Camber Energy owns approximately 70% of our outstanding shares of common stock, and as such has significant influence over matters requiring the approval of our stockholders. Further, pursuant to an existing agreement between the Company and Camber Energy, if at any time until July 1, 2022, the Company issues shares of its common stock to one or more persons such that Camber Energy’s percentage ownership of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock is less than 51%, the Company is obligated to issue additional shares of common stock to Camber Energy to ensure that Camber Energy owns at least 51% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. This adjustment entitlement, which expires on July 1, 2022, may, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to raise capital.

Changes to the management, ownership and/or capitalization of Camber Energy may influence how Camber Energy manages or otherwise deals with its ownership of shares of common stock of the Company. Camber Energy’s interests may not always be aligned with the interests of the Company.

We have guaranteed Camber Energy’s indebtedness to Camber Energy’s senior secured lender, and we have executed security agreements to secure such guaranty. If there is a default under any of the promissory notes issued by Camber Energy in favor of its senior secured lender, we may be forced to pay amounts due to the lender pursuant to those Camber Energy promissory notes, and we may not have sufficient resources on hand to satisfy those obligations.

~~Oil and gas price fluctuations in the market may adversely affect the results of our operations.~~

Our profitability, cash flows and the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties are highly dependent upon the market prices of oil and natural gas. A significant portion of our sales of oil and natural gas, if any, are made in the spot market, or pursuant to contracts based on spot market prices, and not pursuant to long-term, fixed-price contracts. Accordingly, the prices received for our oil and natural gas production are dependent upon numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the level of consumer product demand, governmental regulations and taxes, the price and availability of alternative fuels, the level of foreign imports of oil and natural gas and the overall economic environment.

Historically, the oil and natural gas markets have proven cyclical and volatile as a result of factors that are beyond our control. Any additional declines in oil and natural gas prices or any other unfavorable market conditions could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Actual quantities of recoverable oil and gas reserves and future cash flows from those reserves most likely will vary from our estimates.~~

Estimating accumulations of oil and gas is complex. The process relies on interpretations of available geological, geophysical, engineering and production data. The extent, quality and reliability of this data can vary. The process also requires certain economic assumptions, some of which are mandated by the SEC, such as oil and gas prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds. The accuracy of a reserve estimate is a function of:

	•	~~the quality and quantity of available data;~~
	•	~~the interpretation of that data;~~
	•	~~the accuracy of various mandated economic assumptions; and~~
	•	~~the judgment of the persons preparing the estimate.~~

Estimates of proved reserves prepared by others might differ materially from our estimates. Actual quantities of recoverable oil and gas reserves, future production, oil and gas prices, revenues, taxes, development expenditures and operating expenses most likely will vary from our estimates. Any significant variance could materially affect the quantities and net present value of our reserves. In addition, we may adjust estimates of proved reserves to reflect production history, results of exploration and development and prevailing oil and gas prices. Our reserves also may be susceptible to drainage by operators on adjacent properties.

~~Our operations may require significant expenditures of capital that may not be recovered.~~

We may require significant expenditures of capital to locate and develop producing properties and to drill new oil and gas wells. In conducting exploration, exploitation and development activities for a particular well, the presence of unanticipated pressure or irregularities in formations, miscalculations or accidents may cause our exploration, exploitation, development and production activities to be unsuccessful, potentially resulting in abandonment of the well. This could result in a total loss of our investment. In addition, the cost and timing of drilling, completing and operating wells is difficult to predict.

~~Compliance with, or breach of, environmental laws can be costly and could limit our operations.~~

Our operations will be subject to numerous and frequently changing laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Any properties we might own for the exploration and production of oil and gas and the wastes disposed on these properties may be subject to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, similar state laws, and similar Canadian laws. Under such laws, we could be required to remove or remediate previously released wastes or property contamination. Laws and regulations protecting the environment have generally become more stringent and may, in some cases, impose “strict liability” for environmental damage. Strict liability means that we may be held liable for damage without regard to whether we were negligent or otherwise at fault. Environmental laws and regulations may expose us to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others or for acts that were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time they were performed. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the imposition of administrative, civil and criminal penalties.

~~Table of Contents~~

Although we believe that our operations are in substantial compliance with existing requirements of governmental bodies, our ability to conduct continued operations is subject to satisfying applicable regulatory and permitting controls. Our current permits and authorizations and ability to get future permits and authorizations may be susceptible on a going forward basis, to increased scrutiny, greater complexity resulting in increased costs, or delays in receiving appropriate authorizations.

~~The oil and gas we produce may not be readily marketable at the time of production.~~

Crude oil, natural gas, condensate and other oil and gas products are generally sold to other oil and gas companies, government agencies and other industries. The availability of ready markets for oil and gas that we might discover and the prices obtained for such oil and gas depend on many factors beyond our control, including:

	•	~~the extent of local production and imports of oil and gas;~~
	•	~~the proximity and capacity of pipelines and other transportation facilities;~~
	•	~~fluctuating demand for oil and gas;~~
	•	~~the marketing of competitive fuels; and~~
	•	~~the effects of governmental regulation of oil and gas production and sales.~~

Natural gas associated with oil production is often not marketable due to demand or transportation limitations and is often flared at the producing well site. Pipeline facilities do not exist in certain areas of exploration and, therefore, we intend on utilizing trucks to transport any oil that is discovered.

The price of oil and natural gas has historically been volatile. If it were to decrease substantially, our projections, budgets and revenues would be adversely affected, potentially forcing us to make changes in our operations.

Our future financial condition, results of operations and the carrying value of any oil and natural gas interests we acquire will depend primarily upon the prices paid for oil and natural gas production. Oil and natural gas prices historically have been volatile, during calendar 2020 significantly decreased, and likely will continue to be volatile in the future, especially given current world geopolitical conditions. Our cash flows from operations are highly dependent on the prices that we receive for oil and natural gas. This price volatility also affects the amount of our cash flows available for capital expenditures and our ability to borrow money or raise additional capital. The prices for oil and natural gas are subject to a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. These factors include:

	•	~~the level of consumer demand for oil and natural gas;~~
	•	~~the domestic and foreign supply of oil and natural gas;~~
	•	~~the ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls;~~
	•	~~the price of foreign oil and natural gas;~~
	•	~~domestic governmental regulations and taxes;~~
	•	~~the price and availability of alternative fuel sources;~~
	•	~~weather conditions;~~
	•	~~market uncertainty due to political conditions in oil and natural gas producing regions, including the Middle East; and~~
	•	~~worldwide economic conditions.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

These factors as well as the volatility of the energy markets generally make it extremely difficult to predict future oil and natural gas price movements with any certainty. Declines in oil and natural gas prices affect our revenues and could reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that we can produce economically. Accordingly, such declines could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, oil and natural gas reserves and the carrying values of our oil and natural gas properties. If the oil and natural gas industry experiences significant price declines, we may be unable to make planned expenditures, among other things. If this were to happen, we may be forced to abandon or curtail our business operations, which would cause the value of an investment in us to decline in value or become worthless.

~~Downturns and volatility in global economies and commodity and credit markets may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.~~

Viking’s results of operations are materially adversely affected by the conditions of the global economies and the credit, commodities and stock markets. Among other things, Viking has recently been adversely impacted, and anticipates continuing to be adversely impacted, due to a global reduction in consumer demand for oil and gas, and consumer lack of access to sufficient capital to continue to operate their businesses or to operate them at prior levels. In addition, a decline in consumer confidence or changing patterns in the availability and use of disposable income by consumers can negatively affect the demand for oil and gas and as a result Viking’s results of operations.

~~We may be forced to write-down material portions of our assets if oil prices decline.~~

The COVID-19 outbreak and other geopolitical conditions in 2020 led to a rapid decline in oil prices. A decline of oil prices in the future and/or a continued period of low oil and gas prices in the future may force us to incur material write-downs of our oil and natural gas properties, which could have a material effect on the value of our properties and cause the value of our securities to decline in value.

~~If oil or natural gas prices decrease or drilling efforts are unsuccessful, we may be required to record write-downs of our oil and natural gas properties.~~

We could be required to write down the carrying value of certain of our oil and natural gas properties. Write-downs may occur when oil and natural gas prices are low, or if we have downward adjustments to our estimated proved reserves, increases in our estimates of operating or development costs, deterioration in drilling results or mechanical problems with wells where the cost to re-drill or repair is not supported by the expected economics.

Accounting rules require that the carrying value of oil and natural gas properties be periodically reviewed for possible impairment. Under the full cost method of accounting, capitalized oil and natural gas property costs less accumulated depletion, net of deferred income taxes, may not exceed a ceiling amount equal to the present value, discounted at 10%, of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves plus the cost of unproved properties not subject to amortization (without regard to estimates of fair value), or estimated fair value, if lower, of unproved properties that are subject to amortization. Should capitalized costs exceed this ceiling, which is tested on a quarterly basis, an impairment is recognized. While an impairment charge reflects our long-term ability to recover an investment, reduces our reported earnings and increases our leverage ratios, it does not impact cash or cash flow from operating activities.

~~Table of Contents~~

Because of the inherent dangers involved in oil and gas operations, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business operations, which could force us to expend a substantial amount of money in connection with litigation and/or a settlement.

The oil and natural gas business involve a variety of operating hazards and risks such as well blowouts, pipe failures, casing collapse, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas or well fluids, fires, spills, pollution, releases of toxic gas and other environmental hazards and risks. These hazards and risks could result in substantial losses to us from, among other things, injury or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution or other environmental damage, cleanup responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties and suspension of operations. In addition, we may be liable for environmental damages caused by previous owners of property purchased and leased by us. As a result, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred, the payment of which could reduce or eliminate the funds available for exploration, development or acquisitions or result in the loss of our properties and/or force us to expend substantial monies in connection with litigation or settlements. We currently have no insurance to cover such losses and liabilities, and even if insurance is obtained, there can be no assurance that it will be adequate to cover any losses or liabilities. We cannot predict the availability of insurance or the availability of insurance at premium levels that justify our purchase. The occurrence of a significant event not fully insured or indemnified against could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and operations. We may elect to self-insure if management believes that the cost of insurance, although available, is excessive relative to the risks presented. In addition, pollution and environmental risks generally are not fully insurable. The occurrence of an event not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, which could lead to any investment in us becoming worthless.

~~We may encounter operating hazards that may result in substantial losses.~~

We will be subject to operating hazards normally associated with the exploration and production of oil and gas, including hurricanes, blowouts, explosions, oil spills, cratering, pollution, earthquakes, labor disruptions and fires. The occurrence of any such operating hazards could result in substantial losses to us due to injury or loss of life and damage to or destruction of oil and gas wells, formations, production facilities or other properties. We do not maintain insurance coverage for matters that may adversely affect our operations, including war, terrorism, nuclear reactions, government fines, treatment of waste, blowout expenses, wind damage and business interruptions. Losses and liabilities arising from uninsured or underinsured events could reduce our revenues or increase our costs. There can be no assurance that any insurance we do obtain will be adequate to cover losses or liabilities associated with operational hazards. We cannot predict the continued availability of insurance, or its availability at premium levels that justify its purchase.

~~We face strong competition from larger oil and gas and power companies, which could result in adverse effects on our business.~~

The petroleum exploration and production and power business is highly competitive. Many of our competitors have substantially larger financial resources, staffs and facilities. Our competitors include numerous major oil and gas exploration and production companies, as well as large power generation and industrial engine manufacturing companies and conglomerates such as General Electric. Additionally, other companies engaged in our line of business may compete with us from time to time in obtaining capital from investors. Competitors include larger companies which, in particular, may have access to greater resources, may be more successful in the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and may conduct their own refining and petroleum marketing operations, which may give them a competitive advantage. Actual or potential competitors may be strengthened through the acquisition of additional assets and interests. Additionally, there are numerous companies focusing their resources on creating fuels and/or materials which serve the same purpose as oil and gas but are manufactured from renewable resources.

~~Table of Contents~~

Our estimates of the volume of petroleum reserves could have flaws, or such reserves could turn out not to be commercially extractable. as a result, our future revenues and projections could be incorrect.

Estimates of petroleum reserves and of future net revenues prepared by different petroleum engineers may vary substantially depending, in part, on the assumptions made and may be subject to adjustment either up or down in the future. Our actual amounts of production, revenue, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses, and quantities of recoverable oil and gas reserves may vary substantially from the estimates. Oil and gas reserve estimates are necessarily inexact and involve matters of subjective engineering judgment. In addition, any estimates of our future net revenues and the present value thereof are based on assumptions derived in part from historical price and cost information, which may not reflect current and future values, and/or other assumptions made by us that only represent our best estimates. If these estimates of quantities, prices and costs prove inaccurate, we may be unsuccessful in expanding our oil and gas reserves base with our acquisitions. Additionally, if declines in and instability of oil and gas prices occur, then write downs in the capitalized costs associated with any oil and gas assets we obtain may be required. Because of the nature of the estimates of our reserves and estimates in general, we can provide no assurance that reductions to our estimated proved oil and gas reserves and estimated future net revenues will not be required in the future, and/or that our estimated reserves will be present and/or commercially extractable. If our reserve estimates are incorrect, the value of our common stock could decrease, and we may be forced to write down the capitalized costs of our oil and gas properties.

~~Our business will suffer if we cannot obtain or maintain necessary licenses.~~

Our operations will require licenses, permits and in some cases renewals of licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. Our, or our partners’, ability to obtain, sustain or renew such licenses and permits on acceptable terms is subject to change in regulations and policies and to the discretion of the applicable governments, among other factors. Our inability to obtain, or our loss of or denial of extension of, any of these licenses or permits could hamper our ability to produce revenues from our operations.

~~Our operations may be subject to various litigation matters in the future that could have an adverse effect on our business.~~

From time to time, we may become a defendant in various litigation matters. The nature of our operations exposes us to further possible litigation claims, including litigation relating to climate change in the future. There is risk that any matter in litigation could be adversely decided against us regardless of our belief, opinion and position, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Litigation is highly costly and the costs associated with defending litigation could also have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~We may be affected by global climate change or be legal, regulatory, or market responses to such change.~~

The growing political and scientific sentiment is that increased concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are influencing global weather patterns. Changing weather patterns, along with the increased frequency or duration of extreme weather conditions, could impact the availability or increase the cost to produce our products. Additionally, the sale of our products can be impacted by weather conditions.

Concern over climate change, including global warming, has led to legislative and regulatory initiatives directed at limiting greenhouse gas emissions. For example, proposals that would impose mandatory requirements on greenhouse gas emissions continue to be considered by policy makers in the provinces, states or territories where we operate. Laws enacted that directly or indirectly affect our oil and gas production could impact our business and financial results.

~~Our future success depends on our ability to replace reserves that are produced.~~

Because the rate of production from oil and natural gas properties generally declines as reserves are depleted, our future success depends upon our ability to economically find or acquire and produce additional oil and natural gas reserves. Except to the extent that we acquire additional properties containing proved reserves, conduct successful exploration and development activities, or, through engineering studies, identify additional behind-pipe zones or secondary recovery reserves, our proved reserves will decline as our reserves are produced. Future oil and natural gas production, therefore, is highly dependent upon our level of success in acquiring or finding additional reserves that are economically recoverable. We cannot assure you that we will be able to find or acquire and develop additional reserves at an acceptable cost.

We may acquire significant amounts of unproved property to further our development efforts. Development and exploratory drilling and production activities are subject to many risks, including the risk that no commercially productive reservoirs will be discovered. We may acquire both proved and producing properties as well as undeveloped acreage that we believe will enhance growth potential and increase our earnings over time. However, we cannot assure you that all of these properties will contain economically viable reserves or that we will not abandon our initial investments. Additionally, we cannot assure you that unproved reserves or undeveloped acreage that we acquire will be profitably developed, that new wells drilled on our properties will be productive or that we will recover all or any portion of our investments in our properties and reserves.

~~Our lack of industry and geographical diversification may increase the risk of an investment in our company.~~

Our oil and gas leases are located in North America, primarily in the Texas and Louisiana region. This lack of geographic diversification may make our holdings more sensitive to economic developments within a regional area, which may result in reduced rates of return or higher rates of default than might be incurred with a company that is more geographically diverse.

~~Our business depends on oil and natural gas transportation and processing facilities and other assets that are owned by third parties.~~

The marketability of our oil and natural gas depends in part on the availability, proximity and capacity of pipeline systems, processing facilities, oil trucking fleets and rail transportation assets owned by third parties. The lack of available capacity on these systems and facilities, whether as a result of proration, physical damage, scheduled maintenance or other reasons, could result in the delay or discontinuance of development plans for our properties. The curtailments arising from these and similar circumstances may last from a few days to several months.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Our leasehold acreage is subject to leases that will expire over the next several years unless production is established or maintained or the leases are extended.~~

Some of our acreage is currently held by production or held by operations, but some is not. Unless production in paying quantities is established or operations are commenced on units containing these latter leases during their terms, those leases may expire. Likewise, if we are unable to maintain production on acreage held by production or operations, those leases may expire. If our leases expire and we are unable to renew the leases, we will lose our right to develop or utilize the related properties.

~~Deficiencies of title to our leased interests could significantly affect our financial condition.~~

We, or our partners, often incur the expense of a title examination prior to acquiring oil and natural gas leases or undivided interests in oil and natural gas leases or other developed rights. If an examination of the title history of a property reveals that an oil or natural gas lease or other developed rights have been purchased in error from a person who is not the owner of the mineral interest desired, our interest would substantially decline in value or be eliminated. In such cases, the amount paid for such oil or natural gas lease or leases or other developed rights may be lost.

We have not established an effective system of internal control over our financing reporting, and if we fail to maintain such internal control, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results, and current and potential stockholders may lose confidence in our financial reporting.

We have not established and maintained adequate and effective internal control over financial reporting that would provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We are, however, required to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and to disclose any changes and material weaknesses in those internal controls.

Any failure to maintain adequate internal controls could adversely impact our ability to report our financial results on a timely and accurate basis. If our financial statements are not accurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of our operations. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis as required by the SEC, we could face severe consequences from those authorities. In either case, there could result a material adverse effect on our business. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

~~Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in technology development, we face a risk of not being able to capitalize on our license of intellectual property from ESG Clean Energy.~~

Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by companies developing new technology and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of our successful ability to commercialize intellectual property we have licensed from ESG Clean Energy must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the development of new technology with limited personnel and financial means. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated technical problems that extend the time and cost of product development, or unanticipated problems with the operation of the licensed technology.

~~Technology development involves significant time and expense and can be uncertain.~~

The development of technology associated with our licensed ESG Clean Energy intellectual property will be costly, complex and time-consuming. Any investment into technology development and commercialization often involves a long wait until a return, if any, is achieved on such investment. We plan to make investments in research and development relating to our licensed intellectual property and technology. Investments in new technology and processes are inherently speculative.

~~Successful technical development of technologies associated with intellectual property licensed from ESG Clean Energy does not guarantee successful commercialization.~~

We may successfully complete the technical development of technologies associated with intellectual property licensed from ESG Clean Energy, but we may still fail to commercialize that technology at scale or at a cost attractive to the power generation industry. Our success will depend largely on our ability to prove the capabilities and cost-effectiveness of the developed technology. Upon demonstration, the technology may not have the capabilities they were designed to have or that we believed they would have, or they may be more expensive than anticipated. Furthermore, even if we do successfully demonstrate the technology’s capabilities, potential customers may be more comfortable doing business with a larger, more established, more proven company than us. Moreover, competing technologies may prevent us from gaining wide market acceptance of the technology. Significant revenue from new technology investments may not be achieved for a number of years, if at all.

~~If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, we could lose our ability to compete in the market.~~

Our intellectual property and proprietary rights are important to our ability to remain competitive and for the success of our products and our business. Our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by third parties. We may not be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of our technical knowledge or other trade secrets by employees or competitors. Furthermore, our competitors may independently develop technologies and products that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technologies and/or products, which could result in decreased revenues. Moreover, the laws of foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights which could result in substantial costs to us and substantial diversion of management attention. If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property, our competitors could use it to enhance their products. Our inability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our business and financial condition, and the value of our brand and other intangible assets.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Other companies may claim that we infringe their intellectual property, which could materially increase our costs and harm our ability to generate future revenue and profit.~~

We do not believe that we infringe the proprietary rights of any third party, but claims of infringement are becoming increasingly common, and third parties may assert infringement claims against us. It may be difficult or impossible to identify, prior to receipt of notice from a third party, the trade secrets, patent position or other intellectual property rights of a third party, either in the United States or in foreign jurisdictions. Any such assertion may result in litigation or may require us to obtain a license for the intellectual property rights of third parties. If we are required to obtain licenses to use any third-party technology, we would have to pay royalties, which may significantly reduce any profit on our products. In addition, any such litigation could be expensive and disruptive to our ability to generate revenue or enter into new market opportunities. If any of our products were found to infringe other parties’ proprietary rights and we are unable to come to terms regarding a license with such parties, we may be forced to modify our products to make them non-infringing or to cease production of such products altogether.

~~Renewable energy investments may be linked to government subsidies.~~

Profitability of any investments we make in renewable and/or clean energy opportunities may depend on the availability of government subsidies, tax credits or other types of incentives, and there is no guaranty such subsidies, tax credits or incentives will be available in the future.

~~Risks Related to Our Securities~~

~~An investment in our securities is extremely speculative, and there can be no assurance of any return on the investment.~~

An investment in our securities is extremely speculative, and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment. Investors will be subject to substantial risks, including the risk of losing their entire investment in our securities. For example, the market price of our common stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in our quarterly operating results, general trends in the market and other factors, many of which we have little or no control over. In addition, broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic, business and political conditions, may adversely affect the market for our common stock, regardless of our actual or projected performance.

Because the Company is a “smaller reporting company,” we may take advantage of certain scaled disclosures available to us, resulting in holders of our securities receiving less Company information than they would receive from a public company that is not a smaller reporting company.

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act. As a smaller reporting company, we may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as (i) our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. To the extent we take advantage of any reduced disclosure obligations, it may make it harder for investors to analyze the Company’s results of operations and financial prospectus in comparison with other public companies.

~~To fund its operations, the Company may conduct further securities offerings in the future, in which case our common stock will be diluted.~~

To fund its business operations, the Company anticipates continuing to rely on sales of its securities, which may include common stock, preferred stock, convertible debt and/or warrants convertible or exercisable into shares of common stock. Common stock may be issued in return for additional funds or upon conversion or exercise of outstanding convertible debentures or warrants. If additional common stock is issued, the price per share of the common stock could be lower than the price paid by existing holders of common stock, and the percentage interest in the Company of those shareholders will be lower. This result is referred to as “dilution,” which could result in a reduction in the per share value of your shares of common stock. The Company’s failure or inability to raise capital when needed or on terms acceptable to the Company and our shareholders could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations and would also have a negative adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

~~The Company may utilize debt financing to fund its operations.~~

If the Company undertakes debt financing to fund its operations, the financing may involve significant restrictive covenants. In addition, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all. The Company’s failure or inability to obtain financing when needed or on terms acceptable to the Company and our shareholders could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations and would also have a negative adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

~~The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.~~

Volatility in the trading price of shares of our common stock may prevent shareholders from being able to sell shares of common stock at prices equal to or greater than their purchase price. The trading price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly for various reasons, including:

	•	~~our operating and financial performance and prospects;~~
	•	~~our quarterly or annual earning or those of other companies in the same industry;~~
	•	~~sales of our common stock by management of the Company;~~
	•	~~public reaction to our press releases, public announcements and filing with the SEC;~~
	•	~~changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who track the Company’s common stock or the stock of other companies in the same industry;~~
	•	~~strategic actions by us or our competitors;~~
	•	~~new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;~~
	•	~~changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles; and~~
	•	~~changes in general economic conditions in the U.S. and in global economies and financial markets, including changes resulting from war or terrorist incidents.~~

In addition, in recent years, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a substantial impact on the trading price of securities issued by many companies. The changes frequently occur irrespective of the operating performance of the affected companies. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with our business.

~~Because we are a small company with a limited operating history, holders of common stock may find it difficult to sell their stock in the public markets.~~

The number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at any given time may be relatively small. This situation is attributable to a number of factors. One factor is that we are a small company that is still relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors, and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume. Another factor is that, even if the Company came to the attention of these persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would likely be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours. Furthermore, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in our securities, including our common stock. As a consequence, there may be periods when trading activity in our common stock is minimal or even non-existent, as compared to trading activity in the securities of a seasoned issuer with a large and steady volume of trading activity. We cannot give you any assurance that an active public trading market for our common stock or other securities will develop or be sustained, or that, if developed, the trading levels will be sustained.

Our shares of common stock are subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules that limit trading activity in the market, which may make it more difficult for holders of common stock to sell their shares.

Penny stocks are generally defined as equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Because our common stock trades at less than $5.00 per share, we are subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules that require a broker-dealer to deliver extensive disclosure to its customers before executing trades in penny stocks not otherwise exempt from the rules. The broker-dealer must also provide its customers with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, disclose the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and provide monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held by the customer. Under the penny stock regulations, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction before the sale. As a general rule, an individual with a net worth over $1,000,000 or an annual income over $200,000 individually or $300,000 together with his or her spouse, is considered an accredited investor. The additional burdens from the penny stock requirements may deter broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could limit the liquidity and market price of shares of our common stock. These disclosure requirements may reduce the trading activity of our common stock, which may make it more difficult for shareholders of our common stock to resell their securities.

~~FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.~~

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted Rule 2111 that requires a broker-dealer to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommending the investment. Before recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell shares of common stock and may have an adverse effect on the market for our securities.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~The Company does not anticipate paying dividends in the future.~~

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. Our current policy is to retain earnings to reinvest in our business. Therefore, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company’s dividend policy will be reviewed from time to time by the Board of Directors in the context of its earnings, financial condition and other relevant factors. Until the Company pays dividends, which it may never do, the holders of shares of common stock will not receive a return on those shares unless they are able to sell those shares at the desired price, if at all, of which there can be no assurance. In addition, there is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which holders purchased their common stock.

~~We will continue to incur significant costs to ensure compliance with United States securities and corporate governance and accounting requirements.~~

We will continue to incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, including costs associated with applicable securities and corporate governance requirements, such as those required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and with other rules issued or implemented by the SEC. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations will result in significant legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
