ITEM 2.03 CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION.

Viking Energy Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “Viking”) executed a Promissory Note, dated October 3, 2017 (the “Note”), through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Mid-Con Drilling, LLC (“Mid-Con”), in favor of Cornerstone Bank (“Cornerstone”). The principal amount of the Note is $204,000, and the maturity date of the Note is October 3, 2025. For the first 12 months, the Note bears interest at Cornerstone’s corporate base rate (currently 4.5%) plus 1.0%, and thereafter the interest rate shall be 6% per annum. $200,441 of the loan proceeds were used to purchase the assets described in Item 8.01 below. The Note is secured by a first-ranking security interest and mortgage against the assets acquired by the Company described below, and a guaranty from each of the Company and the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, James Doris.

ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

On October 4, 2017, the Company, through Mid-Con, closed on the acquisition, effective September 1, 2017, of a 80% working interest in six new oil and gas leases in Riley, Geary and Wabaunsee Counties in Kansas. Existing production from the acquired interests is approximately thirteen barrels of oil per day. 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, through Mid-Con. The leases produce oil from various zones, including the Conglomerate (at depths of 1,650 to 1,800 feet), Viola and Simpson Sandstone (at depths of 2,917 to 3,063 feet) and offer the potential for several future drilling locations. The acquisition price for this transaction was $400,000. A portion of the purchase price was obtained from the loan transaction described in Item 2.03 above, and the balance was provided by the Company from cash on-hand via a recently completed private placement. Haas Petroleum LLC (http://www.haaspetroleum.com/), a fourth-generation oil and gas company, will operate these assets on behalf of the Company.

The foregoing description of the terms of the acquisition is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the acquisition purchase agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to, and incorporated by reference in, this report.

All statements, other than statements of historical fact, made in this report are forward-looking and subject to change. Examples of forward-looking statements include statements related to anticipated oil production and the number of potential drilling locations resulting from the acquisition.
