EXHIBIT 99.1
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes present the historical financial information of Camber Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Camber”) giving effect to the merger (the “Merger”) of Viking Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Camber (“Merger Sub”), with and into Viking Energy Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Viking”), with Viking surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Camber. The Merger is accounted for as a reverse acquisition in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). Although Camber acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Viking, Viking is the acquiror for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Merger is treated as if Viking acquired Camber. Under this method, Viking is the predecessor company and all historical financial information reflects the historical results of Viking and the net assets of Camber are marked to fair value. The fair value of the consideration transferred is determined based on the number of equity interests Viking would have had to issue to the owners of Camber in order to provide the same ratio of ownership of equity interests in the combined entity as a result of the reverse acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information set forth below has been presented for informational purposes only. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Merger been completed on the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the Merger as if it had occurred on June 30, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 give effect to the Merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2023.
The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the Merger, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the statements of earnings, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements previously filed in Camber’s Form S-4/A filed with the SEC on June 8, 2023 under the caption “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information.” In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto of Camber for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-Q on August 11, 2023, and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the three months ended March 31, 2023 and accompanying notes of Camber and Viking, which were previously filed in Camber’s Form S-4/A filed with the SEC on June 8, 2023 under the caption “Index to the Financial Statements.” Such financial statements of both Camber and Viking contain disclosures as to each company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that the combined entity will be able to continue as a going concern in the future.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 15, 2021, as amended on April 18, 2023, by and between Camber and Viking (the “Merger Agreement”), Viking merged with and into Merger Sub pursuant to a reverse triangular merger structure, with Viking surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Camber. Following the Merger, Camber is to adopt the business plan and operations of Viking. The Merger is a reverse acquisition in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (ASC 805, Business Combinations). Management evaluated the guidance contained in ASC 805 with respect to the identification of the acquirer in the Merger and concluded, based on consideration of the pertinent facts and circumstances, that Viking is to be treated as the acquiror of Camber for financial accounting purposes.
The consideration transferred is allocated herein to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Camber based upon their estimated fair values as if the Merger closed on June 30, 2023, and any excess value of the consideration transferred over the net assets is recognized as goodwill. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting will occur and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies, or revenue enhancements that the combined company may achieve as a result of the Merger, nor the costs that may be incurred to achieve such benefits.

The allocation of the preliminary purchase price to the net assets and liabilities acquired from the Merger is based on the estimated current fair values of the assets and liabilities of Camber as of June 30, 2023. The fair value of the consideration paid is based on the value of Viking shares deemed issued to Camber’s common shareholders as follows:

Deemed Transaction Consideration |
| $ | 26,498,467 |
|
The Merger had not closed as of June 30, 2023 and the related fair values of the consideration paid, net assets and liabilities acquired, and the implied goodwill had not yet been finalized; therefore, there may be significant changes to these tentative fair values at June 30, 2023 and the completion of the Merger. As a result, any impairment of the implied goodwill related to the Merger is not determinable at this time (though there do appear to be current indicators of potential impairment primarily related to Camber's ability to continue to operate as a going concern). Camber will test the acquired goodwill for impairment if impairment indicators exist at the time of completion of the Merger.
| (2) | Elimination of intercompany balances resulting from Merger as follows: |
Advances due from Viking |
| $ | (4,852,300 | ) |
Advances payable to Camber |
|
| 4,852,300 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| $ | - |
|
Camber has made various advances to Viking with a remaining balance on June 30, 2023, of $4,852,300. Upon completion of the Merger, the related advances receivable/payable will be eliminated upon combination of the companies.
| (3) | To adjust all equity accounts for the effects of the Merger, Camber and Viking have determined that the transaction meets the definition of a reverse merger under the applicable rules. As a result, Viking is considered the accounting acquirer in the Merger, which results in Viking’s equity being eliminated upon consolidation and Camber’s equity being recapitalized upon combination of the companies. |
(4) | Represents as of June 30, 2023, the par value of 26.5 million common shares retained by the original Camber common shareholders in the post-Merger consolidated entity based on the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Viking shareholders held 49.3 million common shares of the post-Merger consolidated entity based on the terms of the Merger Agreement. |
