VYEY Victory Oilfield Tech Inc (PK)

(Unaudited)

Note 1 –   Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Victory Oilfield Tech, Inc. ("Victory" or the "Company") is an Austin, Texas based publicly held company that is in the process of transitioning from an upstream oil and gas exploration and production company, into an oilfield energy-tech products company focused on improving well performance and extending the lifespan of the industry's most sophisticated and expensive equipment. 

Prior to entering into the Transaction Agreement and Divestiture Agreement described below, the Company had been focused on the acquisition and development of unconventional resource play opportunities in the Permian Basin, the Eagle Ford shale of south Texas and other strategically important areas that offer predictable economic outcomes and long-lived reserve characteristics. The Company's asset portfolio included both vertical and horizontal wells in prominent formations such as the Eagle Ford, Austin Chalk, Woodbine, Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Wolfberry, Mississippian, Cline, Fusselman and Ellenberger. As of August 21, 2017, the Company held a working interest in 30 completed wells located in Texas and New Mexico, predominantly in the Permian Basin of west Texas and the Eagle Ford area of south Texas.

Prior to the divestiture of Aurora Energy Partners, a two -member Texas partnership (“Aurora”), described below, all of the Company's oil and natural gas operations were conducted through, and the Company held all of our oil and natural gas assets through, the Company's 50% partnership interest in Aurora. Aurora was a consolidated subsidiary for financial statement purposes. Through the Company's partnership interest in Aurora, the Company was the beneficial owner of fifty percent (50%) of the oil and gas properties, wells and reserves held of record by Aurora.  

Following the Transaction Agreement and the divestiture of the Company's interests in Aurora, the Company has begun its transition into a technology driven oilfield services company offering patented oil and gas technology drilling products designed to improve oil and gas well drilling outcomes. The Company’s products can help achieve this goal by reducing drilling torque, friction, wear resistance, corrosion and other issues that occur during drilling and completion.

The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 7, 1982. The Company is authorized to issue 300,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock. On December 19, 2017 the Company completed a 1 -for- 38 reverse stock split of the outstanding common stock. All information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflects the effect of the reverse stock split. The Company has 28,026,713 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2018 . Our corporate headquarters are located at 3355 Bee Caves Rd. Ste. 608 , Austin, Texas.

A summary of significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements is set forth below.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation:  

For the quarter ended June 30, 2017 the financial statements were previously presented on a consolidated basis. Following the Divestiture of Aurora discussed above, which was completed on December 13, 2017, the Company does not have any subsidiaries. All operations are conducted by the Company.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used primarily when accounting for depreciation, taxes, accruals of capitalized costs, operating costs, general and administrative costs, interest, various common stock, warrants and option transactions, and loss contingencies.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 .

Other Property and Equipment:

Our office equipment in Austin, Texas is being depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of   3   to   7  years.

Intangible Assets:

Our intangible assets are comprised of contract-based and marketing-related intangible assets. Our contract-based intangible assets include a sublicense agreement and a trademark license. The contract-based intangible assets have useful lives of   11.1 years   to   15 years. As of June 30, 2018 , the Company has not begun to use the economic benefits of the sublicense agreement and the trademark license and, accordingly, they were not amortized. The Company will begin to amortize the contract-based intangible assets using the straight-line amortization method over their respective remaining useful lives once it has begun to use their economic benefits. Our marketing related intangible assets include three non-compete agreements all of which have useful lives of   15 years. As of June 30, 2018 , the Company has not begun to use the economic benefits of the non-compete agreements and, accordingly, they were not amortized. The Company will begin to amortize the marketing-related intangible assets using the straight-line amortization method over their respective remaining useful lives once it has begun to use their economic benefits. The remaining useful lives of intangible assets will be evaluated each reporting period. Intangible assets will be tested for impairment at least annually and upon a triggering event. The following table shows intangible assets and related accumulated amortization as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 :

Fair Value:

At June 30, 2018 and 2017 , the carrying value of our financial instruments such as prepaid expenses and payables approximated their fair values based on the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying value of other liabilities approximated their fair values because the underlying interest rates approximated market rates at the balance sheet dates. Management believes that due to our current credit worthiness, the fair value of debt could be less than the book value. Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB"), Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820 , Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , established a hierarchical disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring fair value. This framework defined three levels of inputs to the fair value measurement process and requires that each fair value measurement be assigned to a level corresponding to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three broad levels of inputs defined by FASB ASC Topic 820 hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date;

Leve 1 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Leve 1 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Leve 1 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (which might include the reporting entity’s own data).

Unamortized Discount:

Unamortized discount consists of value attributed to free standing equity instruments issued to the holders of affiliate note payable (see Note 5 ) and are amortized over the life of the related loans using a method consistent with the interest method. There was no amortization of debt discount for the  six months ended June 30, 2018 . Amortization of debt discount totaled   $124,055   for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and is included in interest expense in the statements of operations. The following table shows the discount and related accumulated amortization as of  June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 :

Stock-Based Compensation:

The Company applies FASB ASC 718 , Compensation-Stock Compensation , to account for the issuance of options and warrants to employees, key partners, directors, officers and Navitus Energy Group ("Navitus") investors. The standard requires all share-based payments, including employee stock options, warrants and restricted stock, be measured at the fair value of the award and expensed over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period). The fair value of options and warrants granted to employees, directors and officers is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model by using the historical volatility of our stock price. The calculation also takes into account the common stock fair market value at the grant date, the exercise price, the expected term of the common stock option or warrant, the dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate.

The Company from time to time may issue stock options, warrants and restricted stock to acquire goods or services from third parties. Restricted stock, options or warrants issued to third parties are recorded on the basis of their fair value, which is measured as of the date issued. The options or warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying equity instrument on the “valuation date,” which for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance, is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period and is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense from stock awards, warrants, and stock options granted to directors, officers, employees and third parties of $11,331,602 and $8,337 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively and $11,331,602 and $179,034 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively.

Income Taxes: 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740 , Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and regulations. Deferred tax assets include tax loss and credit carry forwards and are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. 

Earnings (loss) per Share:

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding at June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilutive effects of common stock equivalents such as options, warrants and convertible securities. Given the historical and projected future losses of the Company, all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents are considered anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 23,479,779 and 823,278  for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively and 14,756,246 and   823,278   for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

On May 17, 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017 - 09 ,   Scope of Modification Accounting ( clarifies Topic 718 )   Compensation – Stock Compensation , such that an entity must apply modification accounting to changes in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award unless all of the following criteria are met: ( 1 ) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification and the ASU indicates that if the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique used to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification; ( 2 ) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the modification; and ( 3 ) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the modification; the ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018. The Company expects the adoption of this ASU will only impact financial statements if and when there is a modification to share-based award agreements.

In January 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017 - 01 ,   Business Combinations (Topic 805 ): Clarifying the Definition of a Business , which changes the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is deemed to be a business. Determining whether a transferred set constitutes a business is important because the accounting for a business combination differs from that of an asset acquisition. The definition of a business also affects the accounting for dispositions. Under ASU 2017 - 01 , when substantially all of the fair value of assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset, or a group of similar assets, the assets acquired would not represent a business and business combination accounting would not be required. ASU 2017 -01 may result in more transactions being accounted for as asset acquisitions rather than business combinations. ASU 2017 - 01 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017 - 01 on January 1, 2017 and will apply the new guidance to applicable transactions going forward.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance regarding the accounting for leases. The guidance requires recognition of most leases on the balance sheet. The guidance requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance regarding several broad topics related to the recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018 and will apply the guidance to applicable transactions going forward.

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding the accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. In April 2016, May 2016 and December 2016, FASB issued additional guidance, addressed implementation issues and provided technical corrections. The guidance may be applied retrospectively or using a modified retrospective approach to adjust retained earnings (deficit). The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the financial statements. However, the Company currently has no revenue from contracts with customers.

Going Concern:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As presented in the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses of $11,799,327 and $614,173 during the three months ended June 30, 2018   and 2017 , respectively,  and net losses of   $12,236,137   and   $ 1,278,349   for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and   2017 , respectively . Non-cash expenses and allowances were significant during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , and the net cash used in operating activities, or negative cash flows from operating activities, were $842,699 and $1,318,299, respectively. 

The cash proceeds from loans from affiliates and new contributions to the Aurora partnership by Navitus have allowed the Company to continue operations. Management anticipates that operating losses will continue in the near term until the Company begins to operate as a technology focused oilfield services company. For the  six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , the Company had no significant capital expenditures.

On August 21, 2017, the Company entered into a transaction agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with Armacor Victory Ventures, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“AVV”), pursuant to which AVV (i) granted to the Company a worldwide, perpetual, royalty free, fully paid up and exclusive sublicense to all of AVV’s owned and licensed intellectual property for use in the Oilfield Services industry, except for a tubular solutions company headquartered in France, and (ii) agreed to contribute to the Company $ 5,000,000 (the “Cash Contribution”), in exchange for which the Company issued  800,000  shares of its newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. To date, AVV has contributed a total of $ 255,000  to the Company. 

On April 10, 2018, the Company and AVV entered into a supplementary agreement (the “Supplementary Agreement”), pursuant to which the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was canceled and, in lieu thereof, the Company issued to AVV 20,000,000 shares (the “AVV Shares”) of its common stock. Under the terms of the Supplementary Agreement, so long as AVV is an affiliate of the Company, it shall not transfer or sell any securities of the Company that it holds, including the AVV Shares, except in accordance with the Company’s insider trading policy and subject to the terms of a lock up agreement. AVV must obtain the prior written consent of the Company (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to any transfer, assignment, sale, loan, short sale, giftover, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, exchange or other disposition of the AVV Shares or any other securities of the Company held by AVV other than sales of such AVV Shares or other securities in market transactions through the over-the-counter market or any national securities exchange on which the Company’s common stock then trades that are effected through broker-dealers who receive no more than customary commissions for effecting such sales. The Supplementary Agreement contains certain covenants by AVV, including a covenant that AVV will use its best efforts to help facilitate approval of a proposed $7 million private placement of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $0.75, which will include 50% warrant coverage at an exercise price of $0.75 per share (the “Proposed Private Placement”). AVV also covenants, among other things, to invest a minimum of $500,000 in the Proposed Private Placement .

On April 23, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Withdrawal with the Nevada Secretary of State to withdraw the designation of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and return such shares to undesignated preferred stock of the Company.

On August 21, 2017, the Company entered into a loan agreement (as amended, the “VPEG Loan Agreement”) with Visionary Private Equity Group I, LP, a Missouri limited partnership (“VPEG”), pursuant to which VPEG loaned $500,000 to the Company. Such loan is evidenced by a secured convertible original issue discount promissory note issued by us to VPEG on August 21, 2017 (the “VPEG Note”). The VPEG Note reflects an original issue discount of $50,000 such that the principal amount of the VPEG Note is $550,000, notwithstanding the fact that the loan is in the amount of $500,000. The VPEG Note does not bear any interest in addition to the original issue discount, matures on September 1, 2017, and is secured by a security interest in all of the Company’s assets. On October 11, 2017, the Company and VPEG entered into an amendment to the VPEG Loan Agreement and VPEG Note, pursuant to which the parties agreed to (i) increase the loan amount to $565,000, (ii) increase the principal amount of the VPEG Note to $621,500, reflecting an original issue discount of $56,500 and (iii) extend the maturity date to November 30, 2017. On January 17, 2018, the Company and VPEG entered into a second amendment to the VPEG Loan Agreement and VPEG Note, pursuant to which the parties agreed (i) to extend the maturity date to a date that is five business days following VPEG’s written demand for payment on the VPEG Note; (ii) that VPEG will have the option but not the obligation to loan the Company additional amounts under the VPEG Note on the same terms upon the written request from the Company; and (iii) that, in the event that VPEG exercises its option to convert the note into shares of common stock at any time after the maturity date and prior to payment in full of the principal amount of the VPEG Note, the Company shall issue to VPEG a five year warrant to purchase a number of additional shares of common stock equal to the number of shares issuable upon such conversion, at an exercise price of $1.52 per share, and containing a cashless exercise feature and such other provisions as mutually agreed to by the Company and VPEG. This loan provided short-term financing required for operating and transaction expenses.

On April 10, 2018, Victory and VPEG entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release (the “Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which (i) VPEG released and discharged the Company from its obligations under the VPEG Loan Agreement and VPEG Note (the “VPEG Loan Documents”), (ii) the VPEG Loan Documents were terminated, and (iii) the Company and VPEG agreed to enter into a new debt agreement (described below) to satisfy the Company’s working capital needs pending consummation the Proposed Private Placement. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, and in consideration and full satisfaction of the outstanding indebtedness of $1,410,200 under the VPEG Loan Documents, the Company issued to VPEG (i) 1,880,267 shares of common stock (the “VPEG Shares”) and (ii) a five year  warrant to purchase 1,880,267 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share, which will contain a customary cashless exercise provision. If the actual price per share in the  Proposed Private Placement is less than $0.75, the number of VPEG Shares will be adjusted upward proportionately, and the exercise price of the VPEG Warrants will be reduced, accordingly.  The fair value of the shares of common stock issued was $5,640,801.   The fair value of the warrants to purchase shares of common stock was $5,640,801.

On April 10, 2018, in connection with the Settlement Agreement, the Company and VPEG entered into a loan Agreement (the “New Debt Agreement”), pursuant to which VPEG may, in its sole discretion and upon written request from VPEG, loan to VPEG up to $2,000,000 upon the terms set forth therein. Any loan made pursuant to the New Debt Agreement will be evidenced by a secured convertible original issue discount promissory note (the “New Note”). The New Note will reflect a 10% original issue discount and will not bear any interest in addition to the original issue discount. The New Note will be secured by a security interest in all of the Company’s assets. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, interest upon the unpaid principal amount shall begin to accrue at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) eight percent (8%) per annum or (ii) the maximum interest rate allowed from time to time under applicable law, and shall continue at such default interest rate until the event of default is cured or full payment is made of the unpaid principal amount. Under the terms of the New Note, VPEG will have the right, exercisable at any time from and after the maturity date and prior to payment in full of the principal amount, to convert all or any portion of the principal amount then outstanding, plus all accrued but unpaid interest at the default interest rate into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.75 per share or, such lower price as shares of common stock are sold in the Proposed Private Placement. If VPEG exercises its right to convert the New Note into common stock, the Company will issue to VPEG on the date of such conversion a warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares issuable upon such conversion of the New Note, the terms of which shall be mutually agreeable to the parties; provided that the warrant shall have a five (5) year term and the exercise price shall be $0.75 per share (or such lower exercise price per share of common stock as may be afforded to investors in the Proposed Private Placement) with the ability of VPEG to exercise the warrant on a cashless basis. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has received $520,000 of loan proceeds under the New Debt Agreement.

The Company remains in active discussions with VPEG and others related to longer term financing required for capital expenditures planned for 2018 . Without additional outside investment from the sale of equity securities and/or debt financing, capital expenditures and overhead expenses must be reduced to a level commensurate with available cash flows.

The accompanying financial statements are prepared as if the Company will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not contain adjustments, including adjustments to recorded assets and liabilities, which might be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2 –   Discontinued Operations

On August 21, 2017, the Company entered into a divestiture agreement with Navitus, and   on September 14, 2017, the Company entered into amendment no. 1 to the divestiture agreement (as amended, the “Divestiture Agreement”). Pursuant to the Divestiture Agreement, the Company agreed to divest and transfer its 50% ownership interest in Aurora to Navitus, which owned the remaining 50% interest, in consideration for a release from Navitus of all of the Company’s obligations under the second amended partnership agreement, dated October 1, 2011, between the Company and Navitus, including, without limitation, obligations to return to Navitus investors their accumulated deferred capital, deferred interest and related allocations of equity. The Company also agreed to (i) issue 4,382,872 shares of common stock to Navitus and (ii) pay off or otherwise satisfy all indebtedness and other material liabilities of Aurora at or prior to closing of the Divestiture Agreement. Closing of the Divestiture Agreement was completed on December 13, 2017.

The Divestiture Agreement contained usual pre- and post-closing representations, warranties and covenants. In addition, Navitus agreed that the Company may take any steps necessary to amend the exercise price of warrants issued to   Navitus Partners, LLC to reflect an exercise price of $1.52. The Company also agreed to provide Navitus with demand registration rights with respect to the shares to be issued to it under the Divestiture Agreement, whereby the Company agreed to, upon Navitus’ request, file a registration statement on an appropriate form with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") covering the resale of such shares and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within one hundred twenty ( 120 ) days following such filing. The registration statement was filed on February 5, 2018 and amended on February 8, 2018. The Company has not yet amended the exercise price of warrants issued to   Navitus Partners, LLC to reflect an exercise price of $1.52.

Closing of the Divestiture Agreement was subject to customary closing conditions   and   certain other specific conditions, including the following: (i) the issuance of   4,382,872 shares of common stock to Navitus; (ii) the payment or satisfaction by the Company of all indebtedness or other liabilities of Aurora, which total approximately $1.2 million; (iii) the receipt of any authorizations, consents and approvals of all governmental authorities or agencies and of any third parties; (iv) the execution of a mutual release by the parties; and (v) the execution of customary officer certificates by the Company and Navitus regarding the representations,  warrants and covenants contained in the Divestiture Agreement. Consequently, the Company issued 4,382,872 shares of common stock to Navitus on December 14, 2017.

Aurora's revenues, related expenses and loss on disposal are components of "income (loss) from discontinued operations" in the statements of operations. The statement of cash flows is reported on a consolidated basis without separately presenting cash flows from discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Results from discontinued operations were as follows:

Note 3 - Acquisitions and Dispositions

The Company and Louise H. Rogers agreed, among other things, (i) to terminate the contingent promissory note in the principal amount of   $250,000   payable to Rogers that was issued by the Company in connection with the entry by Lucas Energy Inc. and the Company into the Pre-Merger Collaboration Agreement with Lucas Energy Inc., Navitus and AEP Assets, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aurora, (ii) that the Company would pay Rogers, on or before July 15, 2015,   $258,125, and (iii) that Rogers’ legal counsel will hold the assignment of the Additional Penn Virginia Property and the Settlement Shares in escrow until such time as the payment of   $258,125   is made by the Company to Rogers. Failure of the Company to make the payment of   $258,125   on or before July 15, 2015, would result in the Company being in default under the Rogers Settlement Agreement and default interest on the amount due would begin to accrue at a per diem rate of   $129.0625. Additionally, the Company acknowledged in the Amendment its obligation to pay Rogers’ attorney’s fees. The Company has not made any payments to Rogers pursuant to the Rogers Settlement Agreement and as a result the additional Penn Virginia Property was returned to Lucas in September 2015. The full amount due under the Roger’s obligation including accrued interest at June 30, 2018 totals   $397,642 and is included in accrued liabilities on the balance sheets.

Note 4 – Revolving Credit Agreement

On February 20, 2014, Aurora, as borrower, entered a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Texas Capital Bank (“the Lender”). Guarantors on the Credit Agreement are the Company and Navitus, the two partners of Aurora. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lender agreed to extend credit to Aurora in the form of (a) one or more revolving credit loans (each such loan, a “Loan”) and (b) the issuance of standby letters of credit, of up to an aggregate principal amount at any one time not to exceed the lesser of (i) $25,000,000 or (ii) the borrowing base in effect from time to time . The initial borrowing base on February 20, 2014 was set at $1,450,000. The borrowing base is determined by the Lender, in its sole discretion, based on customary lending practices, review of the oil and natural gas properties included in the borrowing base, financial review of Aurora, the Company and Navitus and such other factors as may be deemed relevant by the Lender. The borrowing base is re-determined (i) on or about June 30 of each year based on the previous December 31 reserve report prepared by an independent reserve engineer, and (ii) on or about August 31 of each year based on the previous June 30 reserve report prepared by Aurora’s internal reserve engineers or an independent reserve engineer and certified by an officer of Aurora. The Credit Agreement was to mature on February 20, 2017. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement bear interest at rates equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum rate of interest which may be charged or received by the Lender in accordance with applicable Texas law and (ii) the interest rate per annum publicly announced from time to time by the Lender as the prime rate in effect at its principal office plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin was, (i) with respect to Loans, one percent (1.00%) per annum, (ii) with respect to letter of credit fees, two percent (2.00%) per annum and (iii) with respect to commitment fees, one -half of one percent (0.50%) per annum. Loans made under the Credit Agreement were secured by (i) a first priority lien in the oil and gas properties of Aurora, the Company and Navitus, and (ii) a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Aurora and its subsidiaries, if any, as well as in 100% of the partnership interests in Aurora held by the Company and Navitus. Loans made under the Credit Agreement to Aurora were fully guaranteed by the Company and Navitus.

On May 13, 2015, Aurora informed the Lender it would not make a required $300,000 payment but was submitting the newly acquired five Eagle Ford wells as additional collateral to be considered and its willingness to execute mortgages regarding the properties to meet the deficiency.

On August 21, 2015, the Company executed a forbearance agreement whereby the Lender would forbear all existing events of default which includes all payments under the previously mentioned deficiency payments not yet paid under the April 13, 2015 redetermination date notification, as well as the late interest payments for June, July and August 2015, violations of Aurora financial covenants for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and June 30, 2015, and default notice for the late filing of March 31, 2015 financial reports. On August 26, 2015, the Company paid the Lender $76,081 to cover a portion of the deficiency payment, as well as a forbearance document fee and Lender's legal expenses, as required by the forbearance agreement, and the aforementioned forbearance agreement went into effect for the $260,000 remaining borrowing base deficiency payment. On August 31, 2015, the forbearance agreement terminated pursuant to its terms. The Company made a $50,000 principal payment to the Lender on October 14, 2015 as part of that plan.

Legal Cases Settled

Cause No. 08-04-07047-CV; Oz Gas Corporation v. Remuda Operating Company, et al. v. Victory Energy Corporation.; In the 112 th District Court of Crockett County, Texas. 

Plaintiff Oz Gas Corporation (“Oz”) filed a lawsuit in April 2008 against various parties for bad faith trespass, among other claims, regarding the drilling of two wells on lands that Oz claims title to. On November 18, 2009, the Company intervened in the lawsuit to protect its 50% interest in one of the named wells in the lawsuit (that being the 155 - 2 well located on the Adams Baggett Ranch in Crockett County, Texas).

This case was mediated, with no settlement reached. It went to trial February 8-9, 2012 . The Court found in favor of Oz and rendered verdict against the Company and the other Defendants, jointly and severally. The Company appealed this case to the 8 th Court of Appeals in El Paso, Texas where the Court of Appeals affirmed the verdict of the District Court and the Company filed  a Motion for Rehearing, which was denied. The Company filed a Petition for Review in the Supreme Court of Texas on December 15, 2014, which was denied. The Company filed a Motion for Rehearing with the Supreme Court, which was denied.

A Settlement and Forbearance Agreement was entered into on March 22, 2016 between the parties wherein no further post-judgment discovery or collection efforts will be made by Oz, for $140,000 net of a $14,000 payment received by the Oz receiver (see next following Cause No. C- 1 -CV- 16 - 001610 ), with monthly payments of $7,500 commencing April 15, 2016. The remaining balance was fully paid off during 2017 , therefore there is no liability as of June 30, 2018 .

Cause No. 2015 - 05280 ; TELA Garwood Limited, LP. v. Aurora Energy Partners, Victory Energy Corporation, Kenneth Hill, David McCall, Robert Miranda, Robert Grenley, Ronald Zamber, and Patrick Barry; In the 164 th District Court of Harris County, Texas.

This lawsuit was filed on January 30, 2015 and supplemented on March 4, 2015. This lawsuit alleged breach of contract regarding a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "PSA") that TELA Garwood Limited, LP ("TELA") and Aurora Energy Partners entered into on June 30, 2014. A first closing was held on June 30, 2014 and a purchase price adjustment payment was made on July 31, 2014. Between these two dates Aurora paid TELA approximately $3,050,133. A second closing was to take place in September, however several title defects were found to exist. The title defects could not be cured and a purchase price reduction in relation to the title defects could not be agreed upon by the parties, and therefore, the second closing never took place. The Court granted Aurora's partial motions for summary judgment dismissing claims against Aurora and the Company's officers and directors, including Kenny Hill, David McCall, Robert Grenley, Ronald Zamber, Patrick Barry, and Fred Smith. The Court denied the remaining summary judgment issues of both parties. On June 2, 2016 Aurora and the Company filed a second Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on some discrete contract interpretation issues. The Court denied this motion on September 2, 2016.

On December 9, 2016, Aurora and the Company and TELA entered into a Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement in which Aurora agreed to pay TELA $320,000 (which is recorded in Accounts Payable as of December 31, 2016) and in turn each party agreed to release the other party from any matter relating to the PSA, the litigation or any claims that were or could have been brought in the litigation. In accordance with the Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement, Aurora made the full payment on February 1, 2017.
