This transaction reduced liabilities by approximately **$37.9 million** and assets by **$12.1 million**[74](index=74&type=chunk)[79](index=79&type=chunk) [Recent Reverse Stock Splits and Amendments to Articles](index=17&type=section&id=Recent%20Reverse%20Stock%20Splits%20and%20Amendments%20to%20Articles) The company has implemented multiple reverse stock splits and adjusted its authorized common stock to manage share price and capital structure - The company has conducted four reverse stock splits since March 2018: **1-for-25** (March 2018), **1-for-25** (December 2018), **1-for-25** (July 2019), and **1-for-50** (October 2019)[126](index=126&type=chunk)[127](index=127&type=chunk) - In April 2020, stockholders approved an increase in authorized common stock to **25 million shares**[127](index=127&type=chunk) [Operations and Oil and Gas Properties](index=19&type=section&id=Operations%20and%20Oil%20and%20Gas%20Properties) As of March 31, 2020, Camber's operations are limited to 35.8 net Boepd from Glasscock County, with Hutchinson County assets being transferred due to a legal settlement Production and Reserves (as of March 31, 2020) | Metric | Value | | :--- | :--- | | Average Daily Production | 35.8 net Boepd | | Active Well Bores | 25 | | Total Estimated Proved Reserves | 133,442 Boe | | - Crude Oil & NGL | 98,600 Bbls | | - Natural Gas | 207,823 Mcf | - The company's Hutchinson County, Texas wells were subject to a Severance Order from the Texas Railroad Commission (TRC) and are being transferred to PetroGlobe as part of a legal settlement, effectively ending the company's operational role in that area[119](index=119&type=chunk)[122](index=122&type=chunk)[132](index=132&type=chunk) [Marketing, Competition, and Regulation](index=20&type=section&id=Marketing%2C%20Competition%2C%20and%20Regulation) The company relies heavily on one customer for revenue, faces intense competition, and operates under extensive federal, state, and local regulations - For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, a single customer, Apache Corporation, accounted for **92%** of the company's total revenues[136](index=136&type=chunk)[137](index=137&type=chunk) - The company competes with numerous oil and gas companies that possess greater financial and personnel resources[138](index=138&type=chunk) - Operations are heavily regulated at federal, state, and local levels, impacting permits, drilling methods, waste disposal, and production rates, which can increase costs and limit activities[139](index=139&type=chunk) [Risk Factors](index=23&type=section&id=ITEM%201A.%20Risk%20Factors) The company faces substantial risks including merger uncertainties, limited operations, financial instability, extreme stock dilution from preferred shares, and material weaknesses in internal controls [Risks Relating to the Merger](index=24&type=section&id=Risks%20Relating%20to%20the%20Merger) The pending merger with Viking Energy carries significant risks, including uncertain exchange ratios, integration challenges, potential loss of key personnel, and stringent listing requirements - A critical condition for the merger is that the combined company must qualify for initial listing on the NYSE American, which has more stringent requirements than the continued listing standards Camber currently fails to meet[187](index=187&type=chunk)[188](index=188&type=chunk)[298](index=298&type=chunk) - If the merger is terminated, Camber may be required to transfer back its **30%** interest in Elysium to Viking and redeem **630 shares** of Series C Preferred Stock from Discover for **$6.93 million**[177](index=177&type=chunk)[185](index=185&type=chunk)[192](index=192&type=chunk) - The merger will cause immediate and substantial dilution to existing Camber stockholders and result in a change of control, as Viking shareholders will receive a pro rata share of approximately **80%** of the post-merger company[180](index=180&type=chunk)[181](index=181&type=chunk) [General Business and Other Risks Relating to the Company](index=28&type=section&id=General%20Business%20and%20Other%20Risks%20Relating%20to%20the%20Company) Key business risks include limited operations, reliance on note repayments, COVID-19 impacts on oil prices, and identified material weaknesses in internal financial controls - Management has concluded that as of March 31, 2020, the company's disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting were **not effective**, representing a material weakness[231](index=231&type=chunk)[232](index=232&type=chunk) - The company has significant notes receivable from Lineal (unsecured, ~**$2.34 million**) and Viking (secured, **$9.2 million**). Failure of these parties to repay the notes could materially and adversely affect Camber's financial condition[198](index=198&type=chunk)[200](index=200&type=chunk)[201](index=201&type=chunk) - The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted demand for crude oil and natural gas, contributing to price volatility and adversely affecting the marketability and price of the company's production[202](index=202&type=chunk)[203](index=203&type=chunk) [Risks Relating to Our Oil and Gas Operations and Industry](index=34&type=section&id=Risks%20Relating%20to%20Our%20Oil%20and%20Gas%20Operations%20and%20Industry) Oil and gas operations face inherent risks from volatile prices, intense competition, geographic concentration in Texas, and the speculative nature of reserve replacement - Revenues and the value of reserves are substantially dependent on volatile crude oil and natural gas prices. A prolonged period of low prices could lead to asset write-downs and adversely affect financial condition[238](index=238&type=chunk)[243](index=243&type=chunk)[252](index=252&type=chunk) - All of the company's oil and gas properties are located in Texas, creating geographic concentration risk and vulnerability to regional issues like transportation constraints, natural disasters, and localized regulatory changes[286](index=286&type=chunk) - Future production is highly dependent on successfully and economically replacing depleted reserves, a process which is speculative and involves numerous risks related to drilling and development[277](index=277&type=chunk)[278](index=278&type=chunk) [Risks Relating To An Investment In Our Securities](index=43&type=section&id=Risks%20Relating%20To%20An%20Investment%20In%20Our%20Securities) Investing in the company's securities carries high risk due to potential delisting, stock price volatility, significant dilution from preferred stock, and restrictive financing agreements - The company is not in compliance with NYSE American's continued listing standards due to having stockholders' equity below **$4.0 million** and a history of net losses, creating a risk of delisting[294](index=294&type=chunk)[297](index=297&type=chunk) - Stockholders may be significantly diluted through future financing efforts and the conversion of outstanding preferred stock. The Board can issue additional common and preferred shares without stockholder approval, subject to NYSE rules[312](index=312&type=chunk)[313](index=313&type=chunk) - Financing agreements with Discover restrict the company from issuing variable-priced securities and grant Discover a right of first offer on future financings, which may limit the company's ability to raise capital[293](index=293&type=chunk) [Risks Relating to Our Series C Preferred Stock](index=48&type=section&id=Risks%20Relating%20to%20Our%20Series%20C%20Preferred%20Stock) The Series C Preferred Stock poses extreme dilution risk due to its full-term dividend payment upon conversion, floating conversion price, and an $87.8 million liquidation preference senior to common stock - Upon conversion or redemption, the Series C Preferred Stock requires payment of dividends for the full **seven-year term** of the security, regardless of when it is converted, creating a significant liability that can be paid in highly dilutive shares[328](index=328&type=chunk)[330](index=330&type=chunk) - The Series C Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of approximately **$87.8 million**, which is senior to common stock and significantly exceeds the company's total assets, implying common stockholders would likely receive no recovery in a liquidation scenario[337](index=337&type=chunk) - The conversion price for dividend payments includes a fixed dollar discount (**$0.05 or $0.10**) applied after a percentage discount to the market price. As the stock price falls, this fixed discount represents an exponentially larger percentage discount, potentially leading to a conversion price of **$0.001 per share** and causing extreme dilution[348](index=348&type=chunk)[349](index=349&type=chunk)[351](index=351&type=chunk) [Properties](index=52&type=section&id=ITEM%202.%20Properties) As of March 31, 2020, the company's properties include non-operated wells in Glasscock County and transferring assets in Hutchinson County, with significantly reduced production and no drilling activity Production and Financial Metrics (FY 2020 vs. FY 2019) | Metric | FY 2020 | FY 2019 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Total Revenues | $397,118 | $2,742,102 | | Total Production (Boe) | 13,084 | 113,685 | | Avg.

Dividends accrue at **24.95%** per annum (adjustable up to **34.95%**) and are payable for the full **seven-year term** upon conversion. The conversion price for these dividends is based on a floating discount to the market price, which can lead to significant additional share issuances[400](index=400&type=chunk)[402](index=402&type=chunk) - Between April 1, 2020, and June 24, 2020, the holder of the Series C Preferred Stock converted **498 shares**, resulting in the issuance and future obligation to issue over **13 million shares** of common stock[410](index=410&type=chunk) -
