Item 1.

Business

 

Viking Investments Group, Inc., is sometimes referred to hereinafter as "Viking Investments" or the "Company." The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on May 3, 1989, and remained inactive until June 27, 1998. After several name changes, the Company merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary, SinoCubate, Inc., which was formed in the State of Nevada on September 11, 2008. The merger resulted in a change of name to SinoCubate, Inc., and a change in the state of incorporation of the Company to Nevada. On June 13, 2012, the Company changed its name to Viking Investments Group, Inc., and the Company's ticker symbol was changed to "VKIN."

 

The Company's business plan is to provide professional consulting services and engage in oil and gas operations. Relative to providing professional advisory and consulting services, the Company's focus is to help companies undergoing or anticipating periods of rapid growth, significant change or ownership transition, and when justified, provide staffing, financing, and/or providing operational support to such companies. Target companies must have superior management, intimate knowledge of their particular industry and a sound business plan, along with a desire and receptiveness for specific expertise to advance the company's business objectives. Viking's primary focus is directed toward North America, targeting various industries. Viking targets under-valued businesses with realistic appreciation potential and a defined exit strategy.

 

The Company's business plan as pertains to the oil and gas industry is to explore and develop oil and gas properties through collaborative partnerships with other companies in this field of endeavor. On March 8, 2016, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Viking Oil & Gas (Canada) ULC, in Alberta, Canada, to hold its Canadian oil and gas interests.

 

Viking Investments is neither an underwriter as the term is defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, nor an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940. Viking Investments is not an investment adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Viking Investments is not registered with FINRA or SIPC.

 

Other Information

 

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries engaged in any research and development activities during 2015. The Company does not manufacture any products or engage in any activity that requires compliance with environmental laws.

 

Employees

 

The Companyd employs four people (and retains outside consultants as needed) involved in business development, business analysis, financial consulting, web programming and designing, execution and support of the Company's business.

 

Reports to Securities Holders

 

The Company provides its annual report that includes its audited financial information to its shareholders upon written request. The Company also makes its financial information equally available to any interested parties or investors through compliance with the disclosure rules of the Exchange Act. The Company is subject to disclosure filing requirements including filing Form 10-K's annually and Form 10-Q's quarterly. In addition, the Company files Form 8-K and other proxy and information statements from time to time as required.

The public may read and copy any materials that the Company files with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains a website (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.

 

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

 

The Company, as a smaller reporting company (as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act), is not required to furnish information required by this item. However, the following important factors among others, could cause our actual operating results to differ materially from those indicated or suggested by forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-K or presented elsewhere by management from time to time.

 

There are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment.

 

There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our operating history of net losses, negative working capital and insufficient cash flows, and lack of liquidity to pay our current obligations, all of which means that we may not be able to continue operations.

 

Our independent accounting firm has added an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinion issued in connection with the financial statements. We cannot provide our shareholders any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the generation of revenue, the sale of our common stock, or through financing to sustain the Company over the next twelve months. We do not have enough cash on hand to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. As discussed in Note 1 to our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the facts that we have generally had net losses and a working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

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. Substantially all 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.

 

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 will require significant expenditures of capital that may not be recovered.

 

We require significant expenditures of capital to locate and develop producing properties and to drill exploratory and exploitation 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.

 

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.

 

We are subject to changing laws and regulations and other governmental actions that can significantly and adversely affect our business.

 

Federal, state, local, territorial and foreign laws and regulations relating to tax increases and retroactive tax claims, disallowance of tax credits and deductions, expropriation or nationalization of property, mandatory government participation, cancellation or amendment of contract rights, and changes in import and export regulations, limitations on access to exploration and development opportunities, as well as other political developments may adversely affect our operations.

 

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.

 

 
6
 

 

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 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.

 

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.

 

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 involves 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 companies, which could result in adverse effects on our business.

 

The petroleum exploration and production business is highly competitive. Many of our competitors have substantially larger financial resources, staffs and facilities. Our competitors in the United States and Canada include numerous major oil and gas exploration and production companies. 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.

 

Our estimates of the volume of 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 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 are subject to various litigation 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 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.

 

We may be affected by global climate change or by 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 the 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 we operate in. Laws enacted that directly or indirectly affect our oil and gas production could impact our business and financial results.

 

If oil or natural gas prices decrease or drilling efforts are unsuccessful, we may be required to record writedowns 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. Writedowns 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 redrill 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.

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.

 

We operate in the oil and gas sector and our leases are in Alberta, Canada, Kansas, and Missouri. 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.

 

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 financial 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 and the Capital Market, 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.

The Company currently has limited funds and the lack of additional funds may negatively impact the Company's ability to pursue its business strategy to conduct operations in the oil and gas industry and to acquire, invest in and/or provide professional advisory and consulting services to companies undergoing or anticipating periods of rapid growth. Even if the Company's funds prove to be sufficient to provide such services or to acquire an interest in, or complete a transaction with, an entity, the Company may not have enough capital to exploit the opportunity. The ultimate success of the Company may depend upon its ability to raise additional capital. The Company may investigate the availability, source, or terms that might govern the acquisition of additional capital but will not do so until it determines a need for additional financing. If additional capital is needed, there is no assurance that funds will be available from any source or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. If not available, the Company's operations will be limited to those that can be financed with its modest capital.

 

Regulation of Penny Stocks

 

The Company's securities may be subject to a SEC rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase "accredited investors" means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth, or joint net worth with spouse, in excess of $1,000,000 excluding the value of the person's primary residence or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company's securities and also may affect the ability of purchasers in an offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop.

 

In addition, the SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate "penny stocks." Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or the Exchange Act. Because the securities of the Company may constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to the Company and to its securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell the securities of the Company in any market that might develop for them.

 

Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses.

Lack of Operating History

 

Due to the numerous risks inherent in the implementation of a new business emphasis and plan, the Company must be regarded as a new or start-up venture with all of the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties to which such ventures are subject.

 

No Assurance of Success or Profitability

 

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully implement its business plan and provide the contemplated services to its client companies. Even if the Company is successful in providing its services to its client companies, there is a risk that it will not generate revenues or profits, or that the market price of the Company's common stock will increase.

 

Impracticality of Exhaustive Investigation

 

The Company has limited operating funds, and this makes it impracticable for the Company to conduct a complete and exhaustive investigation and analysis of its opportunities. Decisions will therefore likely be made without detailed geotechnical reports, feasibility studies, independent analysis, market surveys and the like, which, if the Company had more funds available to it, would be desirable. The Company will be particularly dependent in making decisions upon information provided by third parties with interests in the transaction. A significant portion of the Company's available funds could be expended for investigative expenses and other preliminary expenses, and potential profits could therefore be lessened.

 

Lack of Diversification

 

Because of the limited financial resources that the Company has, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to diversify its acquisitions or operations. The Company's probable inability to diversify its activities into multiple areas will subject the Company to economic fluctuations within a particular business or industry and therefore increase the risks associated with the Company's operations.

 

Reliance upon Financial Statements

 

The Company generally will require audited financial statements from companies with which it seeks to enter into a contractual arrangement. In cases where no audited financials are available, the Company will have to rely upon interim period unaudited information received from a prospective client company's management that has not been verified by outside auditors. The lack of the type of independent verification which audited financial statements would provide increases the risk that the Company, in evaluating a contractual arrangement with such a company, will not have the benefit of full and accurate information about the financial condition and recent interim operating history of that company. This risk increases the prospect that the contractual arrangement with such a company might prove to be an unfavorable one for the Company or the holders of the Company's securities.

 

Moreover, the Company will be subject to the reporting provisions of the Exchange Act, and thus will be required to furnish certain information about significant contractual arrangements, including audited financial statements for any business with which it enters into a contractual arrangement for control. Consequently, prospects that do not have, or are unable to provide reasonable assurances that they will be able to obtain, the required audited statements would not be considered by the Company to be appropriate clients so long as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable. Should the Company, during the time it remains subject to the reporting provisions of the Exchange Act, complete into a contract for control of an entity for which audited financial statements prove to be unobtainable, the Company would be exposed to enforcement actions by the SEC and to corresponding administrative sanctions, including permanent injunctions against the Company and its management. The legal and other costs of defending an SEC enforcement action would have material, adverse consequences for the Company and its business. The imposition of administrative sanctions would subject the Company to further adverse consequences. In addition, the lack of audited financial statements would prevent the securities of the Company from becoming eligible for listing on NASDAQ, or on any existing stock exchange.

 

Moreover, the lack of such financial statements is likely to discourage broker-dealers from becoming or continuing to serve as market makers in the securities of the Company. Without audited financial statements, the Company would almost certainly be unable to offer securities under a registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Act, and the ability of the Company to raise capital would be significantly limited until such financial statements were to become available.

 

 
12
 

 

Other Regulation

 

A contractual arrangement for acquisition of equity ownership of or control may be of a company that is subject to rules and regulation by federal, state, local or foreign authorities. Compliance with such rules and regulations can be expected to be a time-consuming, expensive process and may limit other opportunities of the Company.

 

Limited Participation of Management

 

The Company is heavily dependent upon the skills, talents, and abilities of its management, who currently have other business interests and do not devote their full time to management of the Company.

 

Lack of Continuity in Management

 

The Company does not have any employment agreements with its Chief Executive Officer and President, Mr. Doris, and its Executive Chairman, Treasurer and former Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Simeo. As a result, there is no assurance that Mr. Doris or Mr. Simeo will continue to be associated with the Company in the future. In connection with future business opportunities, it is possible that Mr. Doris or Mr. Simeo may resign as an officer and director of the Company subject to compliance with Section 14f of the Exchange Act. A decision to resign will be based upon the identity of the business opportunity and the nature of the transaction and is likely to occur without the vote or consent of the stockholders of the Company.

 

No Independent Audit Committee

 

The Company does not have an independent Audit Committee of its Board of Directors. The entire Board of Directors functions as the Company's Audit Committee. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended or the SOX and rules and regulations adopted by the SEC to implement the SOX impose certain standards on listed companies relative to the maintenance and operations of Board of Directors Audit Committees, including but not limited to the requirement that Audit Committees be appointed, that membership of such committees comprise only independent directors, that a financial professional be among the membership of such committee and that such committee be afforded an adequate operating budget and be able to employ independent professional advisors. The SOX also requires that the Audit Committee oversee the work of a company's outside auditors and that the outside auditors be responsible to the Audit Committee. At this time, the Company is not in compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as they relate to independent Board of Directors Audit Committees. The Company believes that under rules and regulations adopted by the SEC to implement these provisions of the SOX it is not required to comply with its requirements relating to the appointment of an Audit Committee of its Board of Directors and conforming with the enumerated standards and guidelines because the Company is not a "Listed Company" as defined therein. Notwithstanding, the Company may ultimately be determined not to be in compliance therewith and may therefore face penalties and restrictions on its operations until it comes into full compliance. Additionally, the Company's failure to comply with the provisions of the SOX could preclude it from being listed on NASDAQ or any other stock exchanges until it can show that it is in compliance. The Company's failure to be in compliance with the SOX could also present an impediment to a potential business combination where the target company intends that the Company apply for listing on NASDAQ or any other applicable stock exchanges.

 

Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

Nevada law provides for the indemnification of the Company's directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on behalf of the Company. The Company will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person's promise to repay the Company if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by the Company which it may be unable to recoup.

 

 
13
 

 

Dependence upon Outside Advisors

 

To supplement the Company's officers, directors and principal shareholders, the Company may be required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers, attorneys, or other consultants or advisors. The selection of any such advisors will be made by the Company without any input from stockholders. Furthermore, it is anticipated that such persons may be engaged on an "as needed" basis without a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to the Company. In the event the Company considers it necessary to hire outside advisors, such persons may be affiliates of the Company, if they are able to provide the required services.

 

No Foreseeable Dividends

 

The Company has not paid dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Loss of Control by Present Management and Shareholders

 

The Company may consider, as consideration for future business opportunities, an amount of the Company's authorized but unissued common stock that would, upon issuance, represent the great majority of the voting power and equity of the Company. The result would be that another company's stockholders and management would control the Company, and the Company's Board of Directors and management could be replaced by persons unknown at this time. Such a merger would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership of the Company by its current shareholders.

 

Rule 144 Sales

 

The majority of the outstanding shares of common stock held by present stockholders are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. A sale under Rule 144 or under any exemption from the Securities Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registration of shares of common stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the Company's common stock.

Penny Stock

 

Our common stock is considered "penny stock" under the rules the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market System, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that:

 

-

contains a description of the nature and level of risks in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;

-

contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities' laws; contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;

-

contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;

-

defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and

-

contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation.

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with:

 

-

bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

-

the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

-

the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the marker for such stock; and

-

monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules that require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgement of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement.

 

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This document includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended or the Reform Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact are "forward-looking statements" for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, any projections of earning, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new services or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions of performance; and statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following: the Company's ability to raise capital and the terms thereof; and other factors referenced in the Form 10-K.

 

The use in this Form 10-K of such words as "believes", "plans", "anticipates", "expects", "intends", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. These forward-looking statements present the Company's estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. Except for the Company's ongoing obligation to disclose material information as required by the federal securities laws, the Company does not intend, and undertakes no obligation, to update any forward-looking statements.

 

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in any of the forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed or any of the Company's forward-looking statements. The Company's future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties.

 

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

Overview

 

The Company provides professional advisory, financing and consulting services to established companies in the United States, Canada and Asia in need of specific expertise to advance their particular business plans. These services include, but are not limited to, professional advisory services before and after financing, management consulting, professional board member services, accounting, pre-audit and CFO services, corporate governance advice and general corporate management advisory services in consideration for a fee, comprised of either cash or equity, or a combination of both.

18
 

 

Going Concern Qualification

 

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances; however, there is no assurance of additional funding being available.

 

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operation of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related Notes included elsewhere in this Report.

The Company had current assets of $252,865 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to $1,345 in the comparable period in 2014. The Company had current liabilities of $996,697 during the year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to $481,902 in the comparable period in 2014. The increase is mainly due to an increase in other payables, amounts due to directors and new convertible debt. The Company had a working capital deficit of $743,832 due to an influx of cash from an increase in borrowing from directors and new convertible debt during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to a working capital deficit in December 31, 2014, of $480,557.

 

Cash used in operating activities increased to ($455,453) during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to ($370,800) in the comparable period in 2014. The increase was mostly due to increased expenses.

 

Cash from financing activities decreased to $561,851 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to 909,666 in the comparable period in 2014. The decrease was mostly due to the Company not issuing units during 2015 and generating less cash through convertible, as well as the borrowings from directors.

 

 
19
 

 

Cash used in investing activities decreased to ($77,158) during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to ($549,811) in the comparable period in 2014. The decrease is a result of the Company having accomplished the purchase of 1,256,593 and 2,187,500 units of Tanager Energy Inc. ("Tanager"), a Canadian mining company listed on the Canadian TSX Venture Exchange as a Tier 2 company and trading under the stock symbol "TAN," at a price of C$0.08 per unit during 2014. On November 3, 2014, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale, Petroleum and Natural Gas Conveyance Agreement (the "Agreement"), with Tanager Energy. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company is entitled to receive a 50% working interest in the Joffre oil and gas property located in Alberta, Canada (the "Joffre Property"). On November 4, 2014, the Company closed the transaction by paying Tanager US$302,367, with US$52,801 (C$60,000) payable as of December 31, 2014, which was paid in January of 2015.

 

Tanager owns the remaining 50% working interest in the Joffre Property and operates and manages the property in accordance with an operating agreement pursuant to the Canadian Association of Petroleum Landman Operating Procedure. The proceeds were to be used by Tanager to complete and place on production the first of four suspended Devonian oil wells in the Joffre D-3 B oil pool (the "Joffre Project"). In April 2015, the Company advanced to Tanager, an additional $153,877 (C$190,000) as an investment in the second well in the Joffre D-3 oil pool. On or about March 30, 2016, the working interest was registered in the name of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Viking Oil & Gas (Canada) ULC.

 

Revenue

 

The Company had gross revenues of $95,924 for the year ended December 31, 2015, representing its share of revenue from its 50% working interest in the Joffre Property. This revenue comes from the first two oil wells in the Joffre Project which began producing during April of 2015. The Company's portion of the operational costs of processing, gathering and administering the oil wells in the Joffre Project amounted to $49,965, providing a realizable gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2015, of $45,959. The Company did not have any revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

Expenses

 

The Company's operating expenses increased by $87,788 to $654,439 for the year ended December 31, 2015, from $566,651 for the year ended December 31, 2014. This increase was mainly due to the increase of general and administrative expenses and stock compensation incurred during the year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

Net Loss

 

The Company incurred a net loss of $892,962 for the year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to a net loss of $830,737 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in net loss was mainly due to the items referred to in the analysis of expenses.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in the Company's securities.

Subsequent Events

 

On February 23, 2016, the Company closed on the acquisition of working interests (Net Revenue Interests from 80 to 87%) in four leases with access to the mineral rights (oil and gas) concerning approximately 281 acres of property in Miami and Franklin Counties in eastern Kansas. This project produces oil from the Cherokee formation at a depth of approximately 600 feet. These leases offer the potential for several future drilling locations. The purchase includes an undivided interest in all oil and gas wells, equipment, fixtures and other personal property located upon the leased properties and used in connection with oil and gas operations upon the leases attributable to the working interests purchased by the Company. The effective date of the acquisitions is February 1, 2016, so the Company was entitled to net revenues from its share of production as of such date.

 

As consideration for this transaction, the Company made a cash payment of $1,305,000 at closing to the vendors and issued a promissory note in the amount of $45,000. The note bears interest at a rate of 0% per annum and was due at the end of February. The Company also agreed to issue the vendors 4,500,000 shares of common stock.

 

Immediately prior to the above-noted acquisition, the Company also purchased a 100% working interest (Net Revenue Interest of 83%) in: (i) three leases with access to the mineral rights (oil and gas) concerning approximately 270 acres of property in Miami and Franklin Counties in eastern Kansas; and (ii) 31 leases with access to the mineral rights (oil and gas) concerning approximately 5,500 acres of property in Cass and Bates Counties in Missouri. The purchase includes an undivided interest in all oil and gas wells, equipment, fixtures and other personal property located upon the leased properties and used in connection with oil and gas operations upon the leases attributable to the working interests purchased by Viking. As consideration for this transaction, Viking agreed to issue the vendors 5,150,000 shares of common stock of Viking.

 

To facilitate these acquisitions, the Company borrowed $1,450,000 from private lenders pursuant to a 15% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note"), arranged through a licensed broker/dealer, with the primary terms of the loan being as follows: (i) Term – 6 months; (ii) Rate – 15% per annum; (iii) Security – 1st ranking charge against company assets pursuant to a Security and Pledge Agreement (the "Security Agreement"); (iv) Conversion – the lenders have a right to convert all or part of the note into common stock of Viking at a price of $0.15 per share, subject to certain ownership restrictions; and (v) Warrants – the lenders were given an option to purchase, within the next 5 years, 3,750,000 shares of common stock of Viking at an exercise price of $0.20 per share pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Warrant. Viking's CEO and director, James Doris, also personally guaranteed repayment of the loan and granted the lenders a security interest in his assets.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the terms of the Note, Security Agreement and Warrant are qualified in their entirety by the full text of such agreements, the form of which Note, Security Agreement and Warrant are incorporated by reference in and to Exhibits 99.3, 99.4, and 99.5 hereto.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

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.

 

On July 1, 2015, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses the financial accounting and reporting obligations and retirement costs related to the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. Among other things, SFAS No. 143 requires oil and gas companies to reflect decommissioning liabilities on the face of the balance sheet at fair value on a discounted basis. This statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying cost of the asset. Our asset retirement obligations consist of estimated costs for dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities associated with our oil and gas properties.

 

With the adoption of SFAS No. 143, an asset retirement obligation and the related asset retirement cost in the amount of $406,214 have been recorded. This asset retirement cost was determined and discounted to present value using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate. After the initial recording, the liability is increased for the passage of time, with the increase being reflected as accretion expense in the statement of operations. Subsequent adjustments in the cost estimate are reflected in the liability and the amounts continue to be amortized over the useful life of the related long-lived asset.

 

Revenues from oil and gas properties are recognized under the entitlements method of accounting, whereby revenue is recognized on the amount the Company is entitled to, based on its interest in the property after all costs associated with exploration, gathering, marketing and sales relative to the volumes of product sold.

 

The Company has updated its accounting for net operating losses to reflect accumulated deficits.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Viking Investments Group, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Viking Investments Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statement of operations, stockholders' deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit incl udes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Viking Investments Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has significant net losses and cash flow deficiencies. Those conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1

Nature of Business and Going Concern

 

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on May 3, 1989, as Sparta Ventures Corp. and remained inactive until June 27, 1998. After several name changes, the Company merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary, SinoCubate, Inc., which remained the surviving entity of the merger. SinoCubate, Inc. was formed in the State of Nevada on September 11, 2008. The merger resulted in a change of name of the Company from Synthenol Inc. to SinoCubate, Inc., and a change in the state of incorporation of the Company from Florida to Nevada. On June 13, 2012, the Company changed its name to Viking Investments Group, Inc., and the Company's ticker symbol was changed to "VKIN."

 

The Company's business plan relative to providing professional advisory and consulting services is to help companies undergoing or anticipating periods of rapid growth, significant change or ownership transition, and when justified, staffing, financing, and/or providing operational support to such companies. Target companies must have superior management, intimate knowledge of their particular industry and a sound business plan, along with a desire and receptiveness for specific expertise to advance the company's business objectives. Viking's primary focus is directed toward North America, targeting various industries. Viking targets under-valued businesses with realistic appreciation potential and a defined exit strategy.

 

The Company's business plan as it pertains to the oil and gas industry is to explore and develop oil and gas properties through collaborative partnerships with other companies in this field of endeavor. In November of 2014, the Company entered its first contract of this kind as explained in Note 4.

 

Viking Investments is neither an underwriter as the term is defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, nor an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940. Viking Investments is not an investment adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Viking Investments is not registered with FINRA or SIPC.

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had a net loss of $892,962 and $830,737 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company had a working capital deficiency in the amount of $743,832 as of December 31, 2015. The Company had accumulated a negative shareholders' deficiency of $243,234 as of December 31, 2015, and a negative shareholders' deficiency of $57,261 as of December 31, 2014. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances; 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 2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

a)

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in United States ("US GAAP") and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company's fiscal year-end is December 31.

 

The foregoing audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for consolidated financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-K as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements.

VIKING INVESTMENTS GROUP, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts expressed in US dollars)

 

b)

Basis of Consolidation

 

The financial statements presented herein reflect the consolidated financial results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Viking Investments Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company through December 2, 2015, when the Company sold for $1, all of its ownership interest to its member interest in Viking Investments Group LLC to Tom Simeo, the Company's Chairman. Viking Investments Group, LLC was never an operational entity, did not have any assets, liabilities, or operations, and therefore is not presented as a discontinued operation.

 

c)

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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. The Company's actual results could vary materially from management's estimates and assumptions. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the determination of expected tax rates for future income tax recoveries, stock-based compensation and impairment of long-term investment.

 

d)

Financial Instruments

 

ASC Topic 820-10, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 820-10, "Financial Instruments," defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for other receivables, other payable, accrued liabilities, short term loan and due to director 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.

 

The changes in the Level 3 investments during the year ended December 31, 2015 consisted of an investment by the Company in well #2 of the Joffre project in the amount of $77,158, and the recording of an Asset Retirement Cost for the Joffre project of $406,214 minus depreciation of $20,310.

 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2015 are classified below based on the three fair value hierarchy described above:

e)

Cash

 

Cash includes bank deposits and cash on hand.

 

f)

Loss per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and, adjusted by any effects of warrants and options outstanding, if dilutive, that may add to the number of common shares during the period. At December 31, 2015 there were approximately 2,500,00 common stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation.

 

g)

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues from contracts for consulting services with fees based on time and materials are recognized as the services are performed and amounts are earned in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"), as amended by SAB No. 104, "Revenue Recognition" ("SAB 104"). The Company considers amounts to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are delivered, fees are fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. In such contracts, the Company's efforts, measured by time incurred, typically represent the contractual milestones or output measure, which is the contractual earnings pattern. For consulting contracts with fixed fees, the Company recognizes revenues in accordance with contract terms, and when the services are delivered, price is determinable and the revenue is earned or collectable.

 

Revenues from oil and gas properties are recognized under the entitlements method of accounting, whereby revenue is recognized on the amount the Company is entitled to, based on its interest in the property after all costs associated with exploration, gathering, marketing and sales relative to the volumes of product sold.

 

h)

Comprehensive Income

 

FASB ASC 220 "Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, comprehensive loss was $892,962 and $830,737, respectively.

 

i)

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 ("ASC 740-10-25"). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets likely. The Company did not incur any material impact to its financial condition or results of operations due to the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company is subject to U.S federal jurisdiction income tax examinations for the tax years 2007 through 2015. In addition, the Company is subject to state and local income tax examinations for the tax years 2007 through 2015.

j)

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 Company has adopted ASC Topic 718 (formerly SFAS 123R), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which establishes a fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. In accordance with guidance now incorporated in ASC Topic 718, 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 warrants was 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.

 

k)

Long-term Investment

 

Management determines the appropriate classification of investment securities at the time of purchase. Securities are classified held-to-maturity when the Company has both the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term are classified as trading securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, the changes in the market value of available-for-sale securities, excluding other-than-temporary impairments, are reflected in Other Comprehensive Income, with the impairment losses, net of income taxes, charged to net income in the period in which it occurs.

 

The fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale or held-for-maturity security below cost that is deemed to be other-then-temporary results in a reduction in carrying amount to fair value.

 

Impairments that are considered other-than-temporary are recognized as a loss in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company considers various factors in reviewing impairments, including the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the Company's cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the Company's intent and ability to hold the investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

 

As at December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had no trading and held-to-maturity securities.

 

On September 9, 2014, the Company subscribed for 1,265,593 units of Tanager Energy Inc. ("Tanager"), a Canadian mining company listed on the Canadian TSX Venture Exchange as a Tier 2 company and trading under the stock symbol "TAN," at a price of C$0.08 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of Tanager's common stock and one warrant. Each warrant entitles the Company to subscribe for one additional Common Share at a price of C$0.15 at any time until October 5, 2016. The Warrants expire on October 5, 2016. The total price for the units subscribed is C$101,247.47. The Company paid US$92,000, which was equivalent to C$101,247.47 on September 11, 2014.

VIKING INVESTMENTS GROUP, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts expressed in US dollars)

 

On October 6, 2014, the Company subscribed for an additional 2,187,500 units of Tanager at a price of C$0.08 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of Tanager's common stock and one warrant. Each warrant entitles the Company to subscribe for one additional Common Share at a price of $ 0.15 at any time until October 5, 2016. The Warrants expire on October 5, 2016. The total price for the units subscribed is C$175,000. The Company paid US$155,444, which was equivalent to C$175,000 on October 17, 2014.

 

The Company's investment in Tanager is considered as "available-for-sale" securities, and an unrealized gain of $19,028 was recorded in other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

l)

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the Company 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 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 year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

m)

Foreign Currency Exchange

 

An entity's functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, normally that is the currency of the environment in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. Management's judgment is essential to determine the functional currency by assessing various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements. Functional currency of the parent company is the U.S. Dollar. The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar, and the functional currency of its oil and gas operations is the Canadian Dollar ("CAD" or "C$" herein). The oil and gas operations of the Company are located in Alberta, Canada, in which the CAD is the primary economic environment. The reporting currency of these consolidated financial statements is the U.S. Dollar.

 

For financial reporting purposes, the operational results of the Company's oil and gas operations are prepared using the CAD, and are translated into the Company's reporting currency, the U.S. Dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average rates prevailing during each reporting period, and shareholders' equity is translated at historical exchange rates. 
   

n)

Convertible Notes Payable

 

The Company accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with ASC 815. ASC 815 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments.

 

 
F-10
 

 


VIKING INVESTMENTS GROUP, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts expressed in US dollars)

 

The Company has evaluated the terms and conditions of the convertible note under the guidance of ASC 815. The conversion feature did not meet the definition of "indexed to a company's own stock" provided for in ASC 815 due to the down round protection feature. Therefore, the conversion feature requires bifurcation and liability classification. Additionally, the default put requires bifurcation because it is indexed to risks that are not associated with credit or interest risk. As a result, the compound embedded derivative comprises of (i) the embedded conversion feature and (i) the default put. Rather than bifurcating and recording the compound embedded derivative as a derivative liability, the Company elected to initially and subsequently measure the convertible note in its entirety at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in accordance with ASC 815-15-25-4.

 

o)

Derivative Liability

 

We review the terms of convertible debt issues to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument

 

Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense. 

 

p)

Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations

 

On July 1, 2015, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses the financial accounting and reporting obligations and retirement costs related to the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. Among other things, SFAS No. 143 requires oil and gas companies to reflect decommissioning liabilities on the face of the balance sheet at fair value on a discounted basis. This statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying cost of the asset. Our asset retirement obligations consist of estimated costs for dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities associated with our oil and gas properties.

 

With the adoption of SFAS No. 143, an asset retirement obligation and the related asset retirement cost in the amount of $406,214 have been recorded. This asset retirement cost was determined and discounted to present value using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate. After the initial recording, the liability is increased for the passage of time, with the increase being reflected as accretion expense in the statement of operations. Subsequent adjustments in the cost estimate are reflected in the liability and the amounts continue to be amortized over the useful life of the related long-lived asset.

 

The following table describes the changes in the Company's asset retirement obligations for the year ended December 31, 2015:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board and other entities issued new or modifications to, or interpretations of, existing accounting guidance during 2015. Management has carefully considered the new pronouncements that altered generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any other new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company's reported financial position or operations in the near term.

 

Note 3.

Related Party Transactions

Note 4.

Petroleum and natural gas rights

 

On November 3, 2014, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale, Petroleum and Natural Gas Conveyance Agreement (the "Agreement"), with Tanager Energy Inc., a Canadian corporation listed on the TSX Venture Exchange as a Tier 2 company and trading under the stock symbol "TAN" ("Tanager Energy"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company was to receive a 50% working interest in the Joffre oil and gas property located in Alberta, Canada (the "Joffre Property"), and the Company was obligated to pay Tanager C$400,000 for the interest in the Joffre Property, with C$340,000 payable at closing.

 

On November 4, 2014, the Company closed the transaction by paying Tanager $302,367, with the balance of $52,801 (C$60,000) paid in January of 2015. Tanager owns the remaining 50% working interest in the property and operates and manages the property in accordance with an operating agreement pursuant to the Canadian Association of Petroleum Landman Operating Procedure. The proceeds were to be used by Tanager to complete and place on production the first of four suspended Devonian oil wells in the Joffre D-3 B oil pool (the "Joffre Project"). The Company's (and Tanager's) working interest in the Joffre Property will generally terminate when future production, if any, ceases (or in the case of the water disposal well on the Joffre Property, on the date that production ceases after 5 years has elapsed).

 

In April 2015, the Company advanced to Tanager Energy Inc., an additional $153,877 (C$190,000) as an investment in the second well in the Joffre D-3 oil pool. As the Company and Tanager each own 50% of each phase of this project, the Company has accounted for this transaction as an investment by the Company of $77,158 (C$95,270), with a loan receivable from Tanager of $76,719 (C$94,730).

 

The Company's petroleum and natural gas rights are recorded at cost as of December 31, 2015.  The Company reviews its petroleum and natural gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that a decline in the recoverability of their carrying value may have occurred. We estimate the undiscounted future net cash flows of our petroleum and natural gas properties and compare such undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying amount to determine if the carrying amount is recoverable. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, we adjust the carrying amount to fair value. At December 31, 2015, the Company has determined that there has been no impairment to its carrying value as of that date.
 

Note 5.

Income Tax

  

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Accounting standards require the consideration of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is "more likely than not" that some component or all of the benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company has net operating losses of $7,979,257 and $7,067,267 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 respectively. The potential benefit of these net operating losses have 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. The net operating loss will expire at various times to December 31, 2036.

 

The components of the net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and the statutory tax rate, the effective tax rate and the elected amount of the valuation allowance are indicated below:

Preferred Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Preferred Stock").

 

On October 3, 2012, the Company issued 28,092 shares of Series C Preferred Stock to Tom Simeo in exchange for the return of the equal amount of shares of common stock, owned by Tom Simeo, deposited in a brokerage account, to the Company for cancellation. On or about September 1, 2015, Tom Simeo instructed the Company's Stock Transfer Agent, VStock Transfer LLC, to cancel stock certificate number 3032, representing 28,092 shares of common stock, in consideration for the missing 28,092 shares of common stock. Neither the common stock, nor the preferred stock, were assessed any value.

 

Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to two thousand (2,000) votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time on or after the date that Preferred Stock has been issued ("Distribution Date) declare or pay any dividend on common stock payable in shares of common stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of common stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of common stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of common stock, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction of the numerator of which is the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of common stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into one share of fully paid and non-assessable common stock (the "Conversion Rate").

 

On July 16, 2015, Tom Simeo, Executive Chairman, and a director of the Company, who owned 28,092 shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock (the "Shares"), transferred 50% (14,046) of the Shares to James A. Doris, President, CEO and a director of the Company in consideration of the purchase price of $10,000, paid from the personal funds of Mr. Doris. Mr. Simeo retained 14,046 shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock, and no other shares of Series C Preferred Stock are issued or outstanding. Since each of the preferred shares entitles the holder to 2,000 votes per share, Mr. Simeo and Mr. Doris effectively control the Company jointly, neither of them solely controls the Company, and the transfer of the preferred shares constituted a change of control of the Company.

May 21, 2013 Convertible Note

 

On May 21, 2013, the Company issued a $58,000, 8% convertible note with a term expiring on February 28, 2014 (the "Maturity Date"). The principal amount of the note and interest is payable on the maturity date. The note is convertible into common stock beginning 180 days after the issuance date, at the holder's option, at a 42% discount to the average of the five lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the ten trading day period prior to conversion. In the event the Company prepays the note in full, the Company is required to pay off all principal, interest and any other amounts owing multiplied by (i) 110% if prepaid during the period commencing on the closing date through 30 days thereafter, (ii) 115% if prepaid 31 days following the closing through 60 days following the closing, (iii) 120% if prepaid 61 days following the closing through 90 days following the closing, (iv) 125% if prepaid 91 days following the closing through 120 days following the closing, (v) 130% if prepaid 121 days following the closing through the 150 days following the closing, (vi) 135% if prepaid 151 days following the closing through the 180 days following the closing, and (vii) the Company shall have no right of prepayment after the expiration of 180 days following the closing. The terms of the convertible note provide for certain redemption features which include features indexed to equity risks. In the event of default, the amount of principal and interest not paid when due bear interest at the rate of 22% per annum and the note becomes immediately due and payable.

 

The Company has evaluated the terms and conditions of the convertible note under the guidance of ASC 815. The conversion feature did not meet the definition of "indexed to a company's own stock" provided for in ASC 815 due to the down round protection feature. Therefore, the conversion feature requires bifurcation and liability classification. Additionally, the default put requires bifurcation because it is indexed to risks that are not associated with credit or interest risk. As a result, the compound embedded derivative comprises of (i) the embedded conversion feature and (i) the default put. Rather than bifurcating and recording the compound embedded derivative as a derivative liability, the Company elected to initially and subsequently measure the convertible note in its entirety at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in accordance with ASC 815-15-25-4.

As a result, the compound embedded derivative comprises of (i) the embedded conversion feature and (i) the default put. Rather than bifurcating and recording the compound embedded derivative as a derivative liability, the Company elected to initially and subsequently measure the convertible note in its entirety at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in accordance with ASC 815-15-25-4.

On November 7, 2014, a convertible note holder elected to convert $10,000 of the principal amount of the convertible note dated April 8, 2014, into 215,517 shares of the Company's common stock at a fair value of $0.046 per share in accordance with the convertible note agreement. These shares were issued on November 25, 2014.

 

On November 20, 2014, Talem paid $67,500 to the convertible note holder on behalf the Company as the settlement of the remaining principal balance of $43,000. In consideration for the $67,000 paid by Talem, the Company shall issue 675,000 units to Talem with each unit consists of one share of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and one warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of the Company's common shares at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, be exercisable immediately, and have a term of exercise through January 2, 2016. The agreement was signed between Talem and the Company on January 2, 2015.

Note 9.

Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from December 31, 2015 through April 14, 2016, the date this report was available to be issued, and determined there are no other items to disclose other than those disclosed below:

 

On February 23, 2016, the Company closed on the acquisition of working interests (Net Revenue Interests from 80 to 87%) in four leases with access to the mineral rights (oil and gas) concerning approximately 281 acres of property in Miami and Franklin Counties in eastern Kansas. This project produces oil from the Cherokee formation at a depth of approximately 600 feet. These leases offer the potential for several future drilling locations. The purchase includes an undivided interest in all oil and gas wells, equipment, fixtures and other personal property located upon the leased properties and used in connection with oil and gas operations upon the leases attributable to the working interests purchased by the Company. The effective date of the acquisitions is February 1, 2016, so the Company was entitled to net revenues from its share of production as of such date.

 

As consideration for this transaction, the Company made a cash payment of $1,305,000 at closing to the vendors and issued a promissory note in the amount of $45,000. The note was paid in full on or about March 11, 2016. The note bears interest at a rate of 0% per annum and was due at the end of February. The Company also agreed to issue the vendors 4,500,000 shares of common stock.

 

Immediately prior to the above-noted acquisition, the Company also purchased a 100% working interest (Net Revenue Interest of 83%) in: (i) three leases with access to the mineral rights (oil and gas) concerning approximately 270 acres of property in Miami and Franklin Counties in eastern Kansas; and (ii) 31 leases with access to the mineral rights (oil and gas) concerning approximately 5,500 acres of property in Cass and Bates Counties in Missouri. The purchase includes an undivided interest in all oil and gas wells, equipment, fixtures and other personal property located upon the leased properties and used in connection with oil and gas operations upon the leases attributable to the working interests purchased by Viking. As consideration for this transaction, Viking agreed to issue the vendors 5,150,000 shares of common stock of Viking.

 

To facilitate these acquisitions, the Company borrowed $1,450,000 from private lenders pursuant to a 15% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note"), arranged through a licensed broker/dealer, with the primary terms of the loan being as follows: (i) Term – 6 months; (ii) Rate – 15% per annum; (iii) Security – 1 st ranking charge against company assets pursuant to a Security and Pledge Agreement (the "Security Agreement"); (iv) Conversion – the lenders have a right to convert all or part of the note into common stock of Viking at a price of $0.15 per share, subject to certain ownership restrictions; and (v) Warrants – the lenders were given an option to purchase, within the next 5 years, 3,750,000 shares of common stock of Viking at an exercise price of $0.20 per share pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Warrant. Viking's CEO and director, James Doris, also personally guaranteed repayment of the loan and granted the lenders a security interest in his assets.

 

The Company has not completed the initial accounting for this business combination. Consequently, the Company is not providing the required proforma financial information relative to this acquisition, as it has not been able to engage outside professionals to complete this task as of the date of this report.

 

On January 12, 2016 the Company issued 300,926 common shares for convertible debt.

 

On March 16, 2016 the Company issued 1,000,000 common shares for services.

 

On April 15, 2016 the Company issued 4,000,000 common shares for services.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION – (unaudited)

 

At December 31, 2015, the Company has a 50% working interest in an oil property located approximately tem miles northeast of Red Deer, Alberta in Canada. The property consists of one oil well producing from the Leduc Formation, three suspended oil wells, one abandoned oil well, and a suspended water injector.

 

The Lake Devonian Leduc formation is represented by large barrier reef and smaller pinnacle reef bioherms which grew on the Cooking Lake platform carbonates. Trending northeast to southwest, the limestones and dolostones of the Leduc/Cooking Lake Formations were deposited on the bathymetric highs of the Lake Devonian seas. Hydrocarbons are trapped by lateral stratigraphic pinch out of these dolomitic carbonates into deeper water shale sediments.

 

Proved developed producing reserves have been assigned to the first producing oil well. The well was re-activated and came on production in January 2015. The well has produced sporadically since January averaging seven to ten days of production per month. Production forecasts have taken into account this workover and reflect the increase of reserves in the total proved and proved plus probable cases.

 

The Company plans on installing a pumpjack to the well in early 2016 to enhance performance. The three suspended wells are scheduled to be re-activated in 2016. Proved reserves are assigned to these wells as the wells have demonstrated production over a number of years.

 

Results of Operations

 

The results of operations for petroleum and natural gas production as of December 31, 2015 consist exclusively of the Company's 50% working interest in the Joffre oil and gas property located in Alberta, Canada as follows;

Petroleum and Natural Gas Exploration and Production Costs

 

The amounts shown as net capitalized costs for petroleum and natural gas rights of $818,230 and $355,168 consist of the initial investment to acquire the working interest in the Joffre Project, as well as additional licensing costs at this location, as additional wells begin to produce. The Company does not incur any production or exploratory costs as the entire project is operated through a subcontract relationship.

 

Petroleum and Natural Gas Reserves

 

Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances, which by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible – from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations – prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire. The reserve information disclosed herein is representative of the one producing well, and the re-activation of the three suspended wells expected to begin production in 2016.

Production Forecasts

 

Production forecasts are based on historical trends or by comparison with other wells in the immediate area producing from similar reservoirs. Non-producing gas reserves were forecast to come on-stream within the first two years from the effective date under direct sales pricing and deliverability assumptions, if a tie-in point to an existing gathering system was in close proximity (approximately two miles). If the tie-in point was of a greater distance (and dependent on the reserve volume and risk) the reserves were forecast to come on-stream in years three or four from the effective date. These on-stream dates were used when the company could not provide specific on –stream date information.

 

For reserve volumes that meet all reserve category rules but are behind casing and waiting on depletion of the producing zone, these volumes are forecast to be brought on –stream following the end of the existing production.

Item 9.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

 

None.

 

Item 9A.

Controls and Procedures.

 

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Management must evaluate its internal controls over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404 (a). The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP.

 

As of December 31, 2015, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in the 2013 Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected its internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.

 

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company's management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by the Company's chief financial officer in connection with the audit of the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2014 and communicated the matters to the Company's management.

 

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have an effect on the Company's financial results. However, management believes that the lack of outside directors on the Company's board of directors can resulting in oversight in the establishing and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures which can affect the process of preparing Company's financial statements.

 

Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's Board. In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following material weaknesses (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial close and reporting processes. Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result in proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the financial reporting department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support the Company if personnel turn over issues within the financial reporting department occur. This coupled with the appointment of additional outside directors will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues the Company may encounter in the future.

 

Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of its internal controls and procedures and its 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.

(a)

Disclosure Controls and Procedures; Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of December 31, 2014. Based on this evaluation, Management concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2015.

 

(b)

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on those criteria.

 

To remediate our internal control weaknesses, management intends to implement the following measures:

 

The Company will add sufficient number of independent directors to the board and appoint an audit committee.

The Company will add sufficient knowledgeable accounting personnel to properly segregate duties and to effect a timely, accurate preparation of the financial statements.

Upon the hiring of additional accounting personnel, the Company will develop and maintain adequate written accounting policies and procedures.

 

The additional hiring is contingent upon the Company's efforts to obtain additional funding through equity or debt for its continued operational activities and corporate expenses. Management expects to secure funds in the coming fiscal year but provides no assurances that it will be able to do so.

 

We understand that remediation of material weaknesses and deficiencies in internal controls are a continuing work in progress due to the issuance of new standards and promulgations. However, remediation of any known deficiency is among our highest priorities. Our management will periodically assess the progress and sufficiency of our ongoing initiatives and make adjustments as and when necessary.

 

 
24
 

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report. On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Included in the Act is a provision that permanently exempts smaller public companies that qualify as either a Non-Accelerated Filer or Smaller Reporting Company from the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Family Relationships

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

The Company does not currently have an audit committee financial expert, nor does it have an audit committee. The Company's entire board of directors handles the functions that would otherwise be handled by an audit committee. The Company does not currently have the capital resources to pay director fees to a qualified independent expert who would be willing to serve on its board and who would be willing to act as an audit committee financial expert. As its business expands and as it appoints others to its board of directors, the Company expects that it will seek a qualified independent expert to become a member of its board of directors. Before retaining any such expert the Company's board would make a determination as to whether such person is independent.

 

 
27

a. Title . Sellers collectively own the interest in and to the Property which is to be transferred to Buyer at closing. The title to the Property is such that upon purchase by Buyer, the title to the Property will be free of any encumbrances.

c. Warranty . Sellers warrant that no act or omission by it or any of its agents or employees could give rise to an action or claim of any kind relating to the Property, the operator of the Leases, or to impair the title to the same. The terms "action or claim" as used in this paragraph shall mean any action in tort, contract or regulatory agency claim, by any person or entity.

 

d. Production . Sellers warrant that they are not aware of any facts or circumstances which would cause such production to decline at rates greater than normal and customary decline rates for the Working Interests, and Sellers agree to provide current run tickets for all of the Leases to the Buyer within 5 business days of the execution hereof and prior to the Closing Date..

 

e. Brokers' Fees . Sellers have not incurred any liability, contingent or otherwise, for brokers' or finders' fees relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which Buyer, any of its affiliates, or any of Buyer's interests in the Property shall have any liability.

 

The terms of this paragraph shall survive closing and shall not merge with the assignment and bill of sale executed by Sellers and delivered to Buyer at closing. If it is determined at any time prior to closing that any of the above representations is not true or that there is a substantial likelihood that any of the above representations are not true, Buyer shall have the right to cancel this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all representations by Sellers shall be treated as if each Seller is making said representation insofar as it relates to the portion of the Property currently owned by said Seller. Under no circumstances shall any Seller be liable for any breach of representation or warranty by any other Seller, and the Sellers shall not be jointly and severally liable for any warranty or representation contained herein or in the assignment and bill of sale that is executed and delivered at closing.

  

13. WARRANTIES BY SELLERS.

In addition, Sellers shall indemnify Buyer against all actual losses and damages sustained as a result of such breach of Seller's warranty. The terms of this paragraph shall survive closing and shall not merge with the assignment and bill of sale executed by Sellers and delivered to Buyer at closing.

 

14. BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. This Agreement is made and entered into based upon the belief that the following representations made by Sellers are true and will continue to be true as of the date of closing:

 

a. Buyer's Stock . The shares of common stock to be transferred to Sellers at Closing represent unimpaired shares of common stock in and to Buyer, which are currently valued at $0.10 per share and are traded under the trading symbol VKIN. Such shares shall be considered restricted securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, but Buyer warrants that Rule 144 is currently available for the Buyer generally as a safe harbor under Rule 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as Buyer meets the current information and non-shell requirements therein. Buyer further agrees that Sellers shall have piggy-back registration rights as to such shares and that Buyer will include as many of such shares as can be registered pursuant to registration limitations in any Form S-1 registration statement filed by the Buyer during the two years following the Closing Date.

d. Independent Evaluation . Buyer, through their members and their respective affiliates, are sophisticated in the evaluation, purchase, ownership, development, investment in and operation of oil and gas properties. In making its decision to enter into this Agreement and to acquire the subject interest in the Property, Buyer, except to the extent of Sellers' express representations and warranties herein, has relied on its own independent investigation, review and analysis of such information and material as Buyer in its discretion has deemed relevant, which investigation, review and analysis was done by Buyer and their own advisors (including, to the extent deemed necessary by Buyer, legal, tax, economic, environmental, geological and geophysical, engineering and other advisors) and not on any factual representations or opinions of Sellers or any representatives or consultants or advisors engaged by or otherwise purporting to represent Sellers or any affiliate or principal of Sellers.

 

e. Brokers' Fees . Buyer has incurred any liability, contingent or otherwise, for brokers' or finders' fees relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which Sellers, any of its affiliates, or any of Sellers' interests in the Property shall have any liability.

 

15. WARRANTIES BY BUYER. Buyer warrants that all the "Representations by Buyer" contained in paragraph 14 of this Agreement are true and in the event that it is ever determined a representation is not true, Buyer will, take the necessary remedial action to make the situation consistent with Buyer's representation, and pay to Sellers all lost profits, consequential damages and other expenses incurred while waiting for Buyer to complete said remedial action. In addition, Buyer shall indemnify Sellers against all actual losses and damages sustained as a result of such breach of Buyer's warranty including all costs incurred to defend any claims, whether or not such claims are ultimately determined to have been valid. The terms of this paragraph shall survive closing and shall not merge with the documents executed and delivered at closing.

 

16. OPERATION OF THE LEASES AFTER CLOSING. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Paragraph 7 herein, after closing the parties shall enter into a Joint Operating Agreement ("JOA") designating S & B Operating, LLC ("S&B") as the operator of the Leases. The operation and development of Leases shall be governed by the applicable JOA. S&B shall control the negotiation of JOAs with any other owners of interests in Leases, and at S&B's request the parties shall enter into any JOA S&B so negotiates with such other owners, provided that the obligations of parties are proportionate to their working interests in the Leases subject to the JOA. If the parties own 100% of the working interests in Leases, then the provisions of the JOA attached hereto as Exhibit 'D' (the "Form JOA") shall apply and S&B shall be the operator. When negotiating a JOA with a third party S&B shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that the provisions of that JOA conform to those of the Form JOA as closely as practicable, and when negotiating with a third party to perform services in connection with a Form JOA, S&B shall use reasonable efforts to cause the terms of the agreement governing those services not to contradict the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Form JOA.
