Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward Looking Statements

The terms “Victory,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” refer to Victory Energy Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise. Substantially all of Victory’s asset interests are held through Aurora Energy Partners ("Aurora"), a Texas general partnership, of which Victory controls as managing partner and consolidates as a subsidiary of Victory. Victory holds a 50% controlling partnership interest in Aurora.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains a number of forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that reflect management's current views and expectations with respect to business, strategies, future results and events and financial performance. All statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than statements of historical fact, including statements that address operating performance, events or developments that management expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including statements related to revenues, cash flow, profitability, adequacy of funds from operations, statements expressing general optimism about future operating results and non-historical information, are forward looking statements. In particular, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” variations of such words, and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements and their absence does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking.

Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. It is not possible to identify all of these risks, uncertainties or assumptions. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are:


•	continued operating losses;


•	our ability to continue as a going concern;


•	our dependence on external sources of financing to operate our business and meet our debt service obligations;


•	difficulties in raising additional capital;


•	our inability to pay our accounts payable or our expenses as they arise;


•	our inability to meet the required financial covenants of our lender;


•	our inability to pay a preferred return to The Navitus Energy Group for new capital contributions to Aurora Energy Partners;

•	the highly speculative nature of an investment in our common stock;


•	climate change and greenhouse gas regulations;


•	global economic conditions;


•	the substantial amount of capital required by our operations;


•	the volatility of oil and natural gas prices;


•	the high level of risk associated with drilling for and producing oil and natural gas;


•	the accuracy of assumptions associated with reserve estimates;


•	the potential that drilling activities will not yield oil or natural gas in commercial quantities;


•	potential exploration, production and acquisitions may not maintain revenue levels in the future;


•	our acquisition of additional oil and natural gas assets in the Permian Basin and other future acquisitions may yield revenues or production that differ significantly from our projections;


•	difficulties associated with managing a growing enterprise;


•	strong competition from other oil and natural gas companies;


•	the unavailability or high cost of drilling rigs and related equipment;


•	our inability to control properties that we do not operate;


•	our dependence on third parties for the marketing of our crude oil and natural gas production;


•	our dependence on key management personnel and technical experts;


•	our inability to keep pace with technological advancements in our industry;


•	the potential for write-downs in the carrying values of our oil and natural gas properties;


•	our compliance with complex laws governing our business;


•	our failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations;


•	the demand for oil and natural gas and our ability to transport our production;


•	the financial condition of the operators of the properties in which we own an interest;


•	our levels of insurance or those of our operators may be insufficient;


•	the dilutive effect of additional issuances of our common stock, options or warrants;


•	the results of pending litigation; and


•	the dissolution of the Aurora partnership agreement.

Additionally, the information set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as well as disclosures made under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and under the caption “Risk Factors”, in Item 1A of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.

Victory Energy Corporation and Subsidiary

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Victory is an independent, growth oriented natural resources company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and production of oil and natural gas properties, through its partnership with Aurora Energy Partners, a Texas general partnership (“Aurora”). Current operations are located onshore primarily in the State of Texas. The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 7, 1982. The Company is authorized to issue 47,500,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock, and has 29,302,826 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2015. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located at 3355 Bee Caves Road, Suite 608, Austin, TX 78746.

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

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation:

Victory is the managing partner of Aurora, and holds a 50% partnership interest in Aurora. Aurora, a subsidiary of the Company, is consolidated with Victory for financial statement reporting purposes, as the terms of the partnership agreement that governs the operations of Aurora give Victory effective control of the partnership. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Victory and the accounts of Aurora. The Company’s management, in considering accounting policies pertaining to consolidation, has reviewed the relevant accounting literature. The Company follows that literature, in assessing whether the rights of the non-controlling interests should overcome the presumption of consolidation when a majority voting or controlling interest in its investee “is a matter of judgment that depends on facts and circumstances.” In applying the circumstances and contractual provisions of the partnership agreement, management determined that the non-controlling rights do not, individually or in the aggregate, provide for the non-controlling interest to “effectively participate in significant decisions that would be expected to be made in the ordinary course of business.” The rights of the non-controlling interest are protective in nature. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2015, for three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, have been prepared by management pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission "SEC" for interim financial reporting. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Victory and Aurora as of and for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America “U.S. GAAP”, have been included.

Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or for any other interim period during such year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2015.

Non-controlling Interests:

The Navitus Energy Group, a Texas general partnership (“Navitus”) is a partner with Victory in Aurora. Victory and Navitus each own a 50% partnership interest in Aurora. Victory is the Managing Partner and has contractual authority to manage the business affairs of Aurora.

The non-controlling interest in Aurora is held by Navitus. As of June 30, 2015, $5,589,434 was recorded as the equity of the non-controlling interest in our consolidated balance sheet representing the third-party investment in Aurora, with income (losses) attributable to non-controlling interests of ($113,097) and $1,025,630 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $(224,925) and $1,014,785 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, $3,639,359 was recorded as the equity of the non-controlling interest in our consolidated balance sheet representing the third-party investment in Aurora.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our 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 consolidated 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, depletion, and amortization (“DD&A”) expense, property costs, estimated future net cash flows from proved reserves, cost to abandon oil and natural gas properties, taxes, accruals of capitalized costs, operating costs and production revenue, general and administrative costs and interest, exploration expense, the purchase price allocation on properties acquired, various common stock, warrants and option transactions, and contingencies.

Oil and Natural Gas Properties:

We account for investments in oil and natural gas properties using the successful efforts method of accounting. Under this method of accounting, only successful exploration drilling costs that directly result in the discovery of proved reserves are capitalized. Unsuccessful exploration drilling costs that do not result in an asset with future economic benefit are expensed. All development costs are capitalized because the purpose of development activities is considered to be building a producing system of wells, and related equipment facilities, rather than searching for oil and natural gas. Items charged to expense generally include geological and geophysical costs. Capitalized costs for producing wells and associated land and other assets are depleted using a Units of Production methodology based on the proved, developed reserves and calculated on a by well basis, based upon reserve reports prepared by an independent petroleum engineer in accordance with SEC rules.

Under the successful efforts method of accounting, the depletion rate is the current period production as a percentage of the total proved producing reserves. The depletion rate is applied to the net book value of property costs to calculate the depletion expense. Proved reserves materially impact depletion expense. If the proved reserves decline, then the depletion rate (the rate at which we record depletion expense) increases, reducing net income.

The net capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties are subject to an impairment test which compares the net book value of assets, based on historical cost, to the undiscounted future cash flow of remaining oil and natural gas reserves based on current economic and operating conditions. Impairment of an individual producing oil and natural gas field is first determined by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows associated with the proved property to the carrying value of the underlying property. If the cost of the underlying property is in excess of the undiscounted future net cash flows the carrying cost of the impaired property is compared to the estimated fair value and the difference is recorded as an impairment loss. Management’s estimate of fair value takes into account many factors such as the present value discount rate, pricing, and when appropriate, possible and probable reserves when activities justified by economic conditions and actual or planned drilling or other development.

We depreciate other property and equipment using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from five to 10 years.

Asset Retirement Obligations:

The Company records the estimate of the fair value of liabilities related to future asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) in the period the obligation is incurred. Asset retirement obligations relate to the removal of facilities and tangible equipment at the end of an oil and natural gas property’s useful life. The application of this rule requires the use of management’s estimates with respect to future abandonment costs, inflation, market risk premiums, useful life and cost of capital and required government regulations. U.S. GAAP requires that our estimate of our asset retirement obligations does not give consideration to the value the related assets could have to other parties.

Earnings (Losses) per Share:

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to controlling interests by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the dilutive effect of potential common stock that could be issued by the Company in conjunction with stock awards that have been granted to directors and employees. In accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share", awards of unnvested shares shall be considered outstanding as of the respective grant dates for purposes of computing diluted EPS even though their exercise is contingent upon vesting. Given the historical and projected future losses of the Company, all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents are considered anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with 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.

The realization of future tax benefits is dependent on our ability to generate taxable income within the carry forward period. Given the Company’s history of net operating losses, management has determined that it is likely that the Company will not be able to realize the tax benefit of the carry forwards. ASC 740 requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Accordingly, the Company has a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Upon the attainment of taxable income by the Company, management will assess the likelihood of realizing the deferred tax benefit associated with the use of the net operating loss carry forwards and will recognize a deferred tax asset at that time.

Stock Based Compensation and Expense:

The Company applies ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” to account for the issuance of options and warrants to employees, directors, officers and 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 the Company’s stock price. The calculation also takes into account the common stock fair market value at the grant date, the exercise price, the expected life 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.

The Company recognized stock-based directors compensation expense from stock awards granted to directors for services of $27,089 and $292,475 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company recognized stock-based incentive compensation expense from stock options granted to officers and employees of the company of $20,150 and $78,225 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company also recognized stock-based general and administrative expense of $143,505 and $20,417 from restricted stock and stock options issued to consultants for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." ASU 2015-11 requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value rather than lower of cost or market as previously required by GAAP. ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This update should be applied prospectively with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and has not determined the impact this standard may have on its financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, "Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs." ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. Currently, debt issuance costs are recognized as deferred charges and recorded as assets. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted and is to be implemented retrospectively. Adoption of the new guidance will only affect the presentation of debt and deferred debt financing costs in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and will not have a material impact.

Going Concern:

The accompanying condensed consolidated 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. The consolidated 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.

As presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is reporting a net income (loss), attributable to Victory Energy Corporation, of ($1,247,458) and $272,189 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and net losses of $2,794,031 and $163,114 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Our total cash and cash equivalents were $3,014 at June 30, 2015. We have been, and anticipate that we will continue to be, limited in terms of our capital resources. We generally have not had enough cash or sources of capital to pay our accounts payable and expenses as they arise. We will be required to raise substantial additional capital to meet our existing payment obligations and to expand our operations.

Proceeds from debt and Navitus contributions to Aurora have allowed the Company to continue operations and invest in oil and natural gas properties. Management anticipates that operating losses will continue until new wells are drilled, price improvements, and or acquisitions are successfully completed and incremental production increases operating profit.

The Company has invested $517,776 and $772,801, respectively, in leases, and drilling and completion costs, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $0 and $2.5 million in property acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and 2014, respectively.

The Company remains in active discussions with Navitus, and with other third parties relating to the capital infusion and longer term financing required to cover our existing and expected future deficit in cash flow from operating activities, reduce or pay our borrowing base deficiency (as defined below), pay our existing accounts payable and to fund our capital expenditures planned for 2015. Without additional outside investment from the sale of equity securities and/or debt financing, our capital expenditures and overhead expenses must be reduced to a level commensurate with available cash flows. The Company, through Aurora as borrower, entered a $25 million credit facility (the "Credit Agreement") with Texas Capital Bank, National Association on February 20, 2014. See Note 6 “Revolving Credit Agreement”. As of June 30, 2015 the Company has $790,000 in principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared as if the Company will continue as a going concern. The consolidated 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.

On April 13, 2015, the Company received the annual Borrowing Base Adjustment called for under the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement, which called for a decrease in the borrowing base of $300,000 payable by May 13, 2015, and an increase in the monthly reduction amount to $10,000 commencing in June 2015.

On May 13, 2015, Aurora informed the Lender it would not make the 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. The Lender has received the additional reserve and related assignment information, and is currently evaluating the effect on the previously calculated Borrowing Base Deficiency. As of June 3, 2015, the Company paid the aforementioned June monthly principle reduction of $10,000.

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 Borrowing Base 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. This Forbearance Agreement will go into effect if no additional events of default have occurred with regard to the Credit Agreement, and upon the Company’s payment of $76,081 in payment for the Borrowing Base Deficiency, a forbearance document fee and Lender’s legal expenses. On August 26, 2015, the Company paid the Lender $76,081, and the aforementioned Forbearance Agreement is in effect.This Forbearance Agreement also establishes a new due date for the $260,000 remaining borrowing base deficiency payment as August 31, 2015, at which time the Forbearance Agreement will terminate.

Note 2 - Acquisitions

Business Combination

As previously disclosed in the Company's Form 8-K filed on February 4, 2015, Victory Energy Corporation entered into a letter of intent ("LOI") relating to a proposed business combination with Lucas Energy, Inc. ("Lucas"). The business combination was contingent on, among other things, the parties completing due diligence, including title due diligence, the mutual negotiation of definitive documents, regulatory approvals and the registration of the securities to be issued to the shareholders of the combined company resulting from the Combination (the “Combined Company”).

On February 26, 2015, Victory entered into (a) the Pre-Merger Collaboration Agreement (the “Collaboration Agreement”) by and between Victory, Lucas, Navitus and AEP Assets, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aurora (“AEP”); and (b) the Pre-Merger Loan and Funding Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) between Victory and Lucas. Subsequently the parties entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Pre-Merger Collaboration Agreement on March 3, 2015 , which amendments affected thereby are included in the discussion of the Collaboration Agreement below.

On March 2, 2015, payments of $195,928 and $317,027 were made by Aurora, on behalf of Victory, to Earthstone Energy/Oak Valley Resources and Penn Virginia, respectively, pursuant to the Pre-Merger Collaboration Agreement for costs related to the two Earthstone Energy/Oak Valley Resources and the five Penn Virginia operated Eagle Ford wells, respectively.

The Initial Draw, and any other amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement were evidenced by a Secured Subordinated Delayed Draw Term Note issued by Lucas in favor of Victory, which is in an initial amount of $250,000 (the “Draw Note”). Borrowings evidenced by the Draw Note accrued interest at 0.5% per annum, with accrued interest payable in one lump sum on maturity. The maturity date of the Draw Note was February 26, 2016 and Lucas had the right to pre-pay any amounts owed under the Draw Note at any time with ten days prior written notice to the Victory. Upon the occurrence of an event of default (as described in the Draw Note), the interest rate increases by 5% per annum, Victory can declare the entire outstanding balance of the Draw Note immediately due and payable, and can further take actions to enforce its security interests in the Pledged Shares pursuant to the above, a total of $600,000 was paid to Lucas through May 11, 2015, under the Draw Note.

As previously disclosed in the Company's Form 8-K filed on May 11, 2015, the Company terminated the LOI pursuant to its terms, which permitted either the Company or Lucas to terminate the LOI by written notification to the other party. The Company also notified Lucas pursuant to the Loan Agreement, as well as the related draw note, and that it will not extend any further credit to Lucas under the Loan Agreement. Merger and merger termination related direct costs total $1,326,850 and are included in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

As previously disclosed in the Company's Form 8-K filed on June 30, 2015, the Company entered into (1) a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Lucas Settlement Agreement”) with Lucas, (2) a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Rogers Settlement Agreement”) with Louise H. Rogers, (“Rogers”), and (3) a Compromise Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release, effective as of June 25, 2015 (the “Earthstone Settlement Agreement”, and, together with the Lucas Settlement Agreement and the Rogers Settlement Agreement, the “Settlement Agreements”) with Earthstone Operating, LLC, Earthstone Energy, Inc., Oak Valley Resources, LLC, Oak Valley Operating LLC and Sabine River Energy, LLC (collectively, “Earthstone”), Lucas, AEP, and Aurora.

Lucas Settlement Agreement

Pursuant to the Lucas Settlement Agreement, the Company and Lucas agreed to terminate any and all obligations between the parties arising under the LOI, and the Collaboration Agreement. The Company and Lucas further agreed that the Company would retain ownership and control over five Penn Virginia well-bores previously assigned by Lucas to the Company (the “Penn Virginia Well-Bores”), as well as the obligations to pay the expenses associated with such Penn Virginia Well-Bores effective after August 1, 2014. Under the terms of the Lucas Settlement Agreement, Lucas agreed to assign to the Company all of Lucas’ rights in a certain oil and gas property located in the same field as the Penn Virginia Well-Bores (the “Additional Penn Virginia Property”), including the rights to all revenues from all wells on some properties. Lucas acknowledged the principal amount of $600,000 previously advanced to Lucas by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and agreed that the Company has no further obligations to advance any additional funds to Lucas pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement.

The Settlement Shares and an assignment of the Additional Penn Virginia Property will be held in escrow until the payment by the Company of amounts owed to Rogers under the Rogers Settlement (as described below). The Company has charged the $600,000 to general and administrative expenses as a cost of the merger termination.

Rogers Settlement Agreement

Navitus Partners, LLC, a partner in Navitus, also receives warrants for Victory’s common stock, allocated 50,000 warrants for every unit ($50,000/unit) purchased under the Navitus PPM (equivalent of one (1) warrant for every $1.00 invested), exercisable under the terms of Aurora’s Second Amended Partnership Agreement and the Navitus PPM. Since August 23, 2012, $6,606,601 of capital contributions have resulted in issuance of 6,606,601 common stock warrants (1,100,000 in 2012, 2,191,601 in 2013, and 1,140,000 for 2014, and 2,175,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015).

Note 6 – 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 Victory 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 “Commitment”). 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 will mature on February 20, 2017. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement will 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 is, (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 are 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 are fully guaranteed by the Company and Navitus.

The Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants. These covenants, among other things, limit additional indebtedness, additional liens and transactions with affiliates. Among the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement are financial covenants that Aurora will maintain a minimum EBITDAX to Cash Interest Ratio of 3.5 to 1.0 and a minimum Current Ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0. The Current Ratio is defined under the covenants to include, as a current asset, the revolving credit availability. At December 31, 2014, Aurora's Current Ratio was 0.10 to 1 and it was therefore not in compliance with the aforementioned Current Ratio covenant requiring a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of not less than 1 to 1. As of December 31, 2014, the $800,000 outstanding balance of the Credit Agreement was classified as a current liability in accordance with GAAP.

On April 13, 2015, the Company received the annual Borrowing Base Adjustment called for under the terms of the Credit Agreement, which called for a decrease in the borrowing base of $300,000 payable by May 13, 2015, and an increase in the monthly reduction amount to $10,000 commencing as of June 1, 2015. Additionally, the Lender notified Aurora that, based on the Lender’s redetermination of Aurora’s borrowing base, the monthly reduction amount under the Credit Agreement will be increased, commencing on June 1, 2015, from $0 to $10,000. Pursuant to this increase in the monthly reduction amount, Aurora’s borrowing base will be automatically reduced by $10,000 on the first day of each calendar month beginning on June 2015 until the Lender’s next periodic borrowing base redetermination. The Company has made one payment in the amount of $10,000 in June 2015.

The Company remained out of compliance with the current ratio covenant noted previously and has notified the Lender of such. As of June 30, 2015, the Company was out of compliance with the Current Ratio, and out of compliance with the EBITDAX to Cash Interest Ratio due to its reduced revenue streams from price and production declines and continued high general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

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 Borrowing Base 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. This Forbearance Agreement will go into effect if no additional events of default have occurred with regard to the Credit Agreement, and upon the Company’s payment of $76,081 in payment for the Borrowing Base Deficiency, a forbearance document fee and Lender’s legal expenses. On August 26, 2015, the Company paid the Lender $76,081, and the aforementioned Forbearance Agreement is in effect.This Forbearance Agreement also establishes a new due date for the$260,000 remaining borrowing base deficiency payment as August 31, 2015, at which time the Forbearance Agreement will terminate.

Amortization of debt financing costs and interest expense on this debt for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $40,937 and $33,152, respectively.

Note 7 - Rogers Settlement Obligation

Pursuant to the afore mentioned merger termination, the Company had recorded a Promissory Note in the amount of $250,000 payable to Louise H. Rogers, Lucas’ senior lender in conjunction with the Pre Merger Collaboration Agreement, which accrues interest at the rate of 18% per annum. On May 11, 2015, Victory Energy Corporation (the “Company”) terminated its previously disclosed non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with Lucas Energy, Inc. (“Lucas”), pursuant to its terms, which permitted either the Company or Lucas to terminate the LOI by written notification to the other party. The Promissory Note is due and payable prior to August 17, 2015 in accordance with the Pre Merger Collaboration Agreement. In connection with the issuance of the Promissory Note, Louise H. Rogers had released the Well Rights from its security interest in order to accommodate the transactions contemplated by the Collaboration Agreement and Loan Agreement as of February 27, 2015. In connection to this note $250,000 has been charged to general and administrative expense as a cost of the terminated merger transaction through June 30, 2015 the interest was accrued at $125 per day for a total of $6,250. The June 30, 2015 balance of $256,250 is included in the Company’s Accrued Expenses in the June 30, 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of July 16, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), Victory Energy Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Amendment (the “Rogers Amendment”). Pursuant to the Rogers Amendment, the Company and Rogers agreed to terminate the Promissory Noe and re-establish the amount to be paid by the Company as an obligation to Rogers under the Rogers Settlement Agreement is $258,125, instead of $253,750. The Amendment further specified that if the Company failed to make the obligation payment of $258,125 on or before July 15, 2015, the Company would be 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 in the amount of $22,500. This amount is included in the Company’s accrued expenses as of June 30, 2015. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has not made any payments to Rogers pursuant to the Rogers Settlement Agreement.

As described above, Rogers’ legal counsel is holding the assignment to the Company of Lucas Energy, Inc.’s rights to additional Penn Virginia Property and the Settlement Shares in escrow pending the Company’s payment of all amounts due under the Rogers Settlement Agreement. As of July 16, 2015, and pursuant to an amended escrow agreement, if the Company does not pay the full amount due on or before August 17, 2015, the escrow will continue until August 27, 2015, during which time the Company may make all payments owed to Rogers. If the Company has not made all the required payments to Rogers by August 27, 2015, then the additional Penn Virginia Property and the Settlement Shares will be returned to Lucas Energy, Inc. The aforementioned Lucas Energy share volume of 44,069 represents shares resulting from the Lucas Energy, Inc. reverse stock split on July 15, 2015. The full amount due including the interest through August 27, 2015 totals $285,546.

Note 8 – Related Party Transactions

Note 9 – Shareholders’ Equity

Common stock

The Company estimates the fair value of employee stock options and warrants granted using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of warrants and stock options include the exercise price of the award, the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, the expected warrant or option term, the risk free interest rate at the date of grant, the expected volatility and the expected annual dividend yield on the Company’s common stock.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and in consideration of capital contributions by Aurora of $2,175,000 pursuant to the capital contribution agreement with Aurora, the Company issued 2,175,000 warrants to Navitus with an exercise price ranging from $.18-$.34.

The warrants vest immediately and the Company valued the common stock warrants using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 at $68,507 and $492,487, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company issued 400,000 shares of stock options, which are vesting over a period of 6 months, and 100,000 shares of common stock to the board of directors for their services which are vested immediately.

Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

Liabilities and other contingencies are recognized upon determination of an exposure, which when analyzed indicates that it is both probable that an asset has been impaired or that a liability has been incurred and that the amount of such loss is reasonably estimable.

Volatility of Oil and Natural Gas Prices

Our revenues, future rate of growth, results of operations, financial condition and ability to borrow funds or obtain additional capital, as well as the carrying value of our properties, are substantially dependent upon prevailing prices of oil and natural gas.

Legal Proceedings

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, Victory Energy Corporation 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 Victory and the other Defendants, jointly and severally. Victory 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 Victory filed a Motion for Rehearing, which was denied. Victory filed a Petition for Review in the Supreme Court of Texas on December 15, 2014 which was denied. On March 30, 2015 Victory filed a Motion for Rehearing in this case.

Cause No. 2015-05280; TELA Garwood Limited, LP. v. Aurora Energy Partners and Victory Energy Corporation; In the 164^th District Court of Harris County, Texas.

This lawsuit was filed on January 30, 2015. This lawsuit alleges breach of contract regarding a Purchase and Sale Agreement that TELA Garwood Limited, LP 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 TELAapproximately $3 million. A second closing was to take place in September of 2014, however several title defect were found to exist. The title defects could not be cured and TELA would not agree to a purchase price reduction which ultimately lead to TELA terminating the second closing.

On April 30, 2015, Aurora and Victory filed a counterclaim against TELA alleging breach of contract, breach of warranty, fraud, fraud in the inception, negligent misrepresentation, and tortious interference with contract and business relationship. An answer, special exceptions and request for disclosure was filed on May 8, 2015 on behalf of the board members.

Discovery is ongoing in this case and no trial date has been set.

Note 11 - Subsequent Events

During the period of July 1, 2015 through August 26, 2015, additional capital contributions from noncontrolling interest of $215,000 were received. This resulted in the issuance of an additional 215,000 common stock warrants for the purchase of shares of common stock of the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion is intended to assist you in understanding our business and results of operations together with our present financial condition. This section should be read in conjunction with (i) our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and (ii) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 ("2014 Form 10-K"). Statements in our discussion may be forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. We caution that a number of factors discussed in “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward Looking Statements and “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our 2014 Form 10-K could cause future production, revenues and expenses to differ materially from our expectations.

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected certain aspects of our financial position and results of operations during the periods included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

General Overview

Our Relationship with Aurora Energy Partners

Victory Energy Corporation is the managing partner of Aurora Energy Partners, a Texas general partnership (“Aurora”), and holds a 50% partnership interest in Aurora. Aurora is a consolidated subsidiary with Victory Energy Corporation for financial statement purposes. The Second Amended Partnership Agreement of Aurora ("Aurora Partnership Agreement") gives Victory Energy Corporation control of Aurora. Article XI of the Aurora Partnership Agreement cannot be modified unless there is a 100% vote of the partners, therefore Victory Energy Corporation cannot be removed as a managing member of Aurora regardless of the partnership interest held by the partners, and thus consolidation is appropriate for all reporting periods. Currently, Victory Energy Corporation conducts all of its oil and natural gas operations through, and holds some of its oil and natural gas assets through, Aurora, which owns record title to all of the oil and natural gas properties, wells and reserves referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Through its partnership interest in Aurora, Victory Energy Corporation is the beneficial owner of 50% of such oil and gas properties, wells and reserves held of record by Aurora.

Operational Overview and Strategy

The Company is an independent, growth-oriented oil and gas exploration and production company based in Austin, Texas, with additional resources located in Midland, Texas. The company is focused on the acquisition and development of stacked multi-pay resource play opportunities in Texas and New Mexico that offer predictable outcomes and long-lived reserve characteristics.

Current Company assets include interest in proven formations such as the Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Wolfberry, Mississippian, Cline Fusselman and Eagle Ford formations. The Company’s objective is to create long-term shareholder value by increasing oil and natural gas reserves, improving financial returns (higher production volumes and lower costs), and managing the capital on its balance sheet. We are geographically focused onshore, with a primary focus in the Permian Basin of Texas and southeast New Mexico, with recent additions in the Eagle Ford Shale. The Company leverages both internal capabilities and strategic industry relationships to acquire working interest positions in low-to-moderate risk oil and natural gas prospects. Our focus is on oil or liquid-rich gas projects with longer-life reserves that offer competitive finding and development (F&D) costs.

At June 30, 2015, the Company held a working interest in 31 net wells located in the States of Texas and New Mexico. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company participated in the completion of 5 (gross) and 0.10 (net) wells, respectively. All wells were successfully completed.

On July 27, 2015, the Company received its consolidated third-party reserve study prepared by the independent reserve engineering firm historically utilized by the Company. The report was prepared on a basis consistent the Company’s January 1, 2015 study under the same SEC pricing methodology and rules were followed, but represents July 1, 2015 values. This current reserve report includes a 223% increase in net Proved Developed Producing crude oil reserves to 44.08 MBBL. In addition, the reserve report includes an increase in the undiscounted cash flow value of $556.5 thousand or 25.8%, and an increase in the present value of discounted at 10% cash flows (PV10) of $486.4 thousand or 38.7%. This significant additional resource value is directly attributable to the five Eagle Ford Penn Virginia operated wells noted above. The July 1, 2015 report is based upon oil and gas prices which are 33 and 28 percent lower, respectively, than those in the January 1, 2015 report.

Our revenue, profitability, cash flow, oil and natural gas reserves value, future growth, and ability to borrow funds or obtain additional capital, as well as the carrying value of our properties, are substantially dependent on prevailing prices of oil and natural gas. Historically, the markets for oil and natural gas have been volatile, and those markets are likely to continue to be volatile in

the future. It is impossible to predict, with certainty, future prices for oil and natural gas. These prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas. Market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors are beyond our control.

Business Combination

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on May 11, 2015, Victory Energy Corporation (the “Company”) terminated its previously disclosed non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with Lucas Energy, Inc. (“Lucas”), pursuant to its terms, which permitted either the Company or Lucas to terminate the LOI by written notification to the other party. As previously disclosed, the LOI contemplated the combination of the businesses of the Company and Lucas by way of a merger (the “Proposed Business Combination”). The Company also notified Lucas pursuant to the Pre-Merger Loan and Funding Agreement between the Company and Lucas dated February 26, 2015 (the “Loan Agreement”), as well as the related promissory note, and that it will not extend any further credit to Lucas under the Loan Agreement.

On June 24, 2015, Victory Energy Corporation (the “Company”) entered into (1) a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Lucas Settlement Agreement”) with Lucas Energy, Inc. (“Lucas”), (2) a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Rogers Settlement Agreement”) with Louise H. Rogers, (“Rogers”), and (3) a Compromise Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release, effective as of June 25, 2015 (the “Earthstone Settlement Agreement”, and, together with the Lucas Settlement Agreement and the Rogers Settlement Agreement, the “Settlement Agreements”) with Earthstone Operating, LLC, Earthstone Energy, Inc., Oak Valley Resources, LLC, Oak Valley Operating LLC and Sabine River Energy, LLC (collectively, “Earthstone”), Lucas, AEP Assets LLC (“AEP”) and Aurora Energy Partners (“Aurora” and, together with the Company and AEP, the “Victory Parties”).

Lucas Settlement Agreement

Pursuant to the Lucas Settlement Agreement, the Company and Lucas agreed to terminate any and all obligations between the parties arising under the LOI. The Company and Lucas further agreed that the Company would retain ownership and control over five Penn Virginia well-bores previously assigned by Lucas to the Company (the “Penn Virginia Well-Bores”), as well as the obligations to pay the expenses associated with such Penn Virginia Well-Bores effective after August 1, 2014. Under the terms of the Lucas Settlement Agreement, Lucas agreed to assign to the Company all of Lucas’ rights in a certain oil and gas property located in the same field as the Penn Virginia Well-Bores (the “Additional Penn Virginia Property”), including the rights to all revenues from all wells on some properties. Lucas acknowledged the principal amount of $600,000 previously advanced to Lucas by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and agreed that the Company has no further obligations to advance any additional funds to Lucas pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Lucas Settlement Agreement, Lucas agreed to issue 1,101,729 (44,069 post-split) shares of its common stock (the “Settlement Shares”) to the Company in full consideration of the $600,000 owed under the Loan Agreement. The Settlement Shares and an assignment of the Additional Penn Virginia Property will be held in escrow until the payment by the Company of amounts owed to Rogers under the Rogers Settlement.

As of July 16, 2015, the Company entered into an Amendment (the “Rogers Amendment”). Pursuant to the Rogers Amendment, the Company and Rogers agreed that the amount to be paid by the Company to Rogers under the Rogers Settlement Agreement is $258,125, instead of $253,750. The Rogers Amendment further specified that if the Company failed to make the payment of $258,125 on or before July 15, 2015, the Company would be 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 in the amount of $22,500. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has not made any payments to Rogers pursuant to the Rogers Settlement Agreement.

As described above, Rogers’ legal counsel is holding the assignment to the Company of Lucas Energy, Inc.’s rights to additional Penn Virginia Property and the Settlement Shares in escrow pending the Company’s payment of all amounts due under the Rogers Settlement Agreement. As of the July 16, 2015, and pursuant to an amended escrow agreement, if the Company does not pay the full amount due on or before August 17, 2015, the escrow will continue until August 27, 2015, during which time the Company may make all payments owed to Rogers. In the event that the Company has still not made all the required payments to Rogers by August 27, 2015, then all of the additional Penn Virginia Property and the Settlement Shares will be returned to Lucas Energy, Inc. The aforementioned Lucas Energy share volume of 1,101,729 (44,069 post-split) represents shares resulting from the Lucas Energy, Inc. reverse stock split on July 15, 2015. The full amount due including the interest through August 27, 2015, totals $285,546.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Going Concern

As presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is reporting a net (loss) income , attributable to Victory Energy Corporation, of ($1,247,458) and $272,189 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and net losses of $2,794,031 and $163,114 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Proceeds from debt and Navitus contributions to Aurora have allowed the Company to continue operations and invest in oil and natural gas properties. Management anticipates that operating losses will continue until new wells are drilled and or acquisitions are successfully completed and incremental production increases operating profit.

On June 1, 2015, the Company announced that it engaged MLV & Co. LLC, an independent full-service investment bank, to act as its financial advisor with respect to the placement of the Company’s proposed $75 million credit facility, with initial availability based on agreed acquisitions.

One June 24, 2015, the Company engaged an advisor to provide capital raising services.

The Company remains in active discussions with Navitus, and with other third parties relating to the capital infusion and longer term financing required to cover our existing a, and pay our existing accounts payable, and to fund our operations and capital expenditures planned for 2015. Without additional outside investment from the sale of equity securities and/or debt financing, our capital expenditures and overhead expenses must be reduced to a level commensurate with available cash flows. The Company, through Aurora as borrower, entered a $25 million credit facility (the "Credit Agreement") with Texas Capital Bank, National Association on February 20, 2014. See Note 6 “Revolving Credit Agreement”. As of June 30, 2015 the Company has $790,000 in principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement and $256,250 outstanding under the Rogers Note Payable. The June 30, 2015 balance of $250,650 is included in the Company’s Accrued Expenses in the June 30, 2015 Financial Statements.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared as if the Company will continue as a going concern. The consolidated 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.

On April 13, 2015 (the “Redetermination Date”), the Lender notified Aurora that the Lender had completed its redetermination of Aurora’s borrowing base (the “Borrowing Base Redetermination”), lowering the borrowing base, effective as of the Redetermination Date, from $800,000 to $500,000. Additionally, the Lender notified Aurora that, based on the Lender’s redetermination of Aurora’s borrowing base, the monthly reduction amount under the Credit Agreement will be increased, commencing on June 1, 2015, from $0 to $10,000. Pursuant to this increase in the monthly reduction amount, Aurora’s borrowing base will be automatically reduced by $10,000 on the first day of each calendar month beginning on June 1, 2015 until the Lender’s next periodic borrowing base redetermination. After giving effect to the Borrowing Base Redetermination, the outstanding amount of loans to Aurora under the Credit Agreement exceeds the borrowing base by $300,000 (the “Borrowing Base Deficiency”). While the Deficiency exists, the interest rate paid by Aurora under the Credit Agreement will be automatically increased by 200 basis points.

Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, Aurora is required to take one of the following actions to timely eliminate the Deficiency: (a) prepay the Deficiency in full within 30 days of the Redetermination Date, (b) execute mortgages covering additional oil and gas properties not evaluated in the most recent reserve report having present values which, in the opinion of the Lender, taken in the aggregate are sufficient to increase the borrowing base to an amount at least equal to the total amount of loans outstanding to Aurora under the Credit Agreement, or (c) a combination of items (a) and (b) above, as is acceptable to the Lender.

Aurora must provide written notice to the Lender within ten days of the Redetermination Date as to how Aurora intends to timely eliminate the Deficiency. If Aurora fails to provide such written notice to the Lender within ten days, it will be determined to have elected the Deficiency prepayment option. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, Aurora had 30 days from the Redetermination Date to cure the Deficiency in the manner it elects.

On May 13, 2015, Aurora informed the Lender it would not make the 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. The Lender has received the additional reserve and related assignment information, and is currently evaluating the effect on the previously calculated Borrowing Base Deficiency. On June 1, 2015, the Company was unable to make the required $10,000 monthly reduction payment to the Lender.

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 Borrowing Base 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. This Forbearance Agreement will go into effect if no additional events of default have occurred with regard to the Credit Agreement, and upon the Company’s payment of $76,081 in payment for the Borrowing Base Deficiency, a forbearance document fee and Lender’s legal expenses. On August 17, 2015, the Company paid the Lender $50,081. The remaining balance of $26,000 will place the Forbearance Agreement in effect. In addition, the Forbearance Agreement establishes a new due date for the $260,000 remaining borrowing base deficiency payment as August 31, 2015, at which time the Forbearance Agreement will terminate.

Factors affecting financial reporting of our general and administrative expenses

Our historical general and administrative expenses included in our results of operations for the periods presented may not be comparable, either from period to period or going forward, for the following reasons:

Growth-in-business related general expenses

As part of our stated growth through acquisitions and development business plan, the Company has incurred additional costs associated with a business combination and termination of the same acquisition, during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Among other things, these additional general and administrative expenses include legal, and geological analysis costs associated with title examination of properties, contractual purchase and sale agreements and third party reservoir engineering and geologic assessments for reserve calculations. Additionally, as part of the Company’s credit facility agreement, we also pay related legal expenses for property review and assessment. All of these expenses help us protect the assets of the Company and secure bank funding. These specific expenses are not quarterly recurring per se, however they will occur again when additional opportunities to increase reserves and future development opportunities present themselves. These expenses were significant, but enabled these key business growth transactions to be prudently structured and completed. We estimate the acquisition related costs to be significant as we continue to grow the asset base.

We have incurred and continue to incur significant expenses in conjunction with the terminated business combination with Lucas. These expenses include general and administrative expenses related to the engagement of professional services, specifically legal, tax, accounting and consulting.

Merger and merger termination related direct costs total approximately $1.3 million and included in general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Additional costs to be incurred with concluding the merger termination are expected in the next quarter, including the additional legal fees for work performed after June 30, 2015 related to supplemental and related agreements.

We have incurred significant costs to structure and manage our debt facility and will continue to incur such costs as our asset base allows prudent borrowing against our proved reserves. These costs can fluctuate as debt instruments are ended, modified and replaced with new creditor entities. Refer to note 6.

We have incurred costs associated with investor, public relations and capital funding which are critical to operate and expand in the public company arena. Additionally, the Company engaged an investor relations and corporate communications firm to help improve investor communications, capital markets development and awareness, and transactional legal costs related to non recurring business transactions.

We have incurred director, employee, and some limited vendor stock based compensation, all non-cash in nature, as part of our key employee acquisition and retention plan. As we grow through acquisitions, we need to add new talent and incentivize our current key employees to stay with the Company. The 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan, approved by our shareholders in February 2014, was a key element of the platform to fulfill this need. Among other things, the Company incurred SEC related legal expenses as part of this plan and shareholder vote. Stock grants and multi-year stock option award based compensation is now a fundamental part of the Company’s key-employee retention plan.

Volume and Price Trends

The following tables summarize the volumes and prices realized by the Company for the three month and six month period ended June 30, 2015, compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2014.

Overall BOE production increased 59% and 41% respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015. The rise in BOE production is primarily associated with the rise in oil production, which increased by 70% and 69% respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015. The increase is the result of the additional production from the Eagle Ford properties assigned to Victory in the first quarter of 2015.



	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015	2014	Change		2015	2014	Change

The volume and price changes in the tables above caused the following changes to our oil, gas and NGL sales between the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.



	For the Three Months Ended June 30,									For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	Oil			Gas			Total			Oil			Gas			Total

The Company’s oil and gas revenue fluctuations are directly related to the volumes produced and the commodity prices paid over the respective periods presented.

Oil and gas sales increased $154,197 and $232,558 due to volumes in the three month and six month period ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The increases were primarily driven by a rise in oil production for both periods, which was due to the continued production from the Eagle Ford properties assigned to the Company during the first quarter of 2015.

Oil and gas sales decreased $122,543 and $267,319 due to prices in the three month and six month period ended June 30, 2015. respectively, due to significant prices decreases for all commodities.

Public Company Expenses

We incur direct, incremental general and administrative expenses as a result of being a publicly traded company, including but not limited to, increased scope of operations as we evaluate potential acquisitions, corporate structure planning, implementation of stock based compensation programs to attract and retain talent, periodic public reporting to shareholders, tax consulting, independent auditor fees, investor relations activities, registrar and transfer fees, director and officer liability insurance, and director compensation. In some cases, our small reporting company status will make key acquisitions and divestitures fall into “significant” status. This requires the Company to perform a series of financial accounting and reporting processes and filings. As we grow, these transactions will become a smaller part of our overall size, and may no longer be required.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

The condensed consolidated operating statements of our revenue, operating expenses, and net income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014 were as follows:

The increase in revenues is primarily associated with the new production from the Penn Virginia wells, and was also partially offset by lower commodity prices in 2015.

Lease operating expense: Lease operating expenses decreased $11,459 to $42,504 or 21% from $53,963 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decline is primarily the result of a decrease in the total aggregate working interests held by the Company during June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, as well as lower operating costs of the new property portfolio in 2015.

Production taxes: Production taxes are charged at the well head on the value of production of oil and natural gas. Production taxes decreased $2,285 or 15% to $12,842 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $15,127 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decline in production taxes is associated with the decline in oil and natural gas commodity prices from 2014 to 2015.

Exploration expense: Exploration expense decreased $19,677 or 100% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in exploration expense is primarily the result of a decline in geological and geophysical (G&G) costs associated with the services related to acquisition and divestiture work.

General and administrative expense: General and administrative expenses increased $89,117 or 9% to $1,070,830 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $981,713 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase is primarily due to $395,180 of merger and merger termination costs, an increase of $61,498 of legal fees for ongoing litigation, offset by a decrease in director compensation expense of $286,085, a decrease in salaries of $54,287, and a decrease of travel expenses $27,099.

Impairment of assets: Asset impairments increased $300,891 or 100% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. This increase is the result of the Company’s impairment of oil and gas properties as the industry experiences more sustained lower commodity prices.

Depletion, depreciation and amortization: Depletion, depreciation and amortization increased $83,775 or 91% to $175,815 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $92,040 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase is primarily due to higher oil and natural gas production volumes.

Gain on sale of oil and natural gas properties: The $2,159,592 decrease in the gain on sale of oil and natural gas properties is due to the sale of the Lightnin' property during the three months ended June 30, 2014. No properties were sold for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Management fee income: Management fee income decreased $83,817 or 99% to $1,176 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Victory charges a 2% management fee to Navitus Energy Group, a 50% partner of Aurora on only gross revenues which are attributable to Aurora.

Interest expense: Interest expense increased $6,257 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $22,223 of interest income (net) for the three months ended June 30, 2014. This is primarily due to the larger balance of the drawn facility and amounts in the three months ended June 30, 2015, as well as the longer time the balance was outstanding in 2015 versus 2014.

Income taxes: There is no provision for income tax recorded for either the three months ended June 30, 2015 or for the three months ended June 30, 2014 due to the net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) up through the period ending June 30, 2015. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. Our NOLs generally begin to expire in 2025.

Revenues: Our revenues decreased $34,761 or 8% to $398,199 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $432,960 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in revenues is primarily associated with the decline in oil and natural gas commodity prices received by the Company for the respective periods.

Lease operating expense: Lease operating expenses decreased $38,615 to $77,017 or 33% from $115,632 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decline is primarily the result of a decrease in the total aggregate working interests held by the Company during June 30, 2015 and 2014, as well as lower operating costs of the new property portfolio in 2015.

Production taxes: Production taxes are charged at the well head on the value of production of oil and natural gas. Production taxes decreased $5,721 or 23% to $19,541 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $25,262 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decline in production taxes is primarily associated with the decline in oil prices from 2014 to 2015.

Exploration expense: Exploration expense decreased $20,681 or 86% to $3,491 from $24,172 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in exploration expense is primarily the result of a decline in geological and geophysical (G&G) costs associated with the services related to acquisition and divestiture work.

General and administrative expense: General and administrative expenses increased $1,251,566 or 86% to $2,715,194 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $1,463,628 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase is primarily due to $1,326,846 of merger and merger termination costs, an increase of $107,954 for banker investment company fees, and increase of $75,851 of legal fees for ongoing litigation, offset by a decrease in director compensation expense of $259,085.

Impairment of assets: Asset impairments increased $306,387 or 100% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. This increase is the result of the Company’s impairment of oil and gas properties as the industry experiences more sustained lower oil and natural gas commodity prices.

Interest expense: Amortization of debt financing costs and interest expense increased $16,178 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $31,008 of interest income (net) for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This is primarily due to the larger balance of the drawn facility and amounts in the three months ended June 30, 2015, as well as the longer time the balance was outstanding in 2015 versus 2014.

Income taxes: There is no provision for income tax recorded for either the six months ended June 30, 2015 or for the six months ended June 30, 2014 due to the net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) up through the period ending June 30, 2015. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. Our NOLs generally begin to expire in 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash, total current assets, total assets, total current liabilities, and total liabilities as of June 30, 2015 as compared to December 31, 2014, are as follows:



	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014

Cash	$	3,014	$	2,941
Total current assets	$	171,106	$	190,719
Total assets	$	1,876,814	$	1,203,713
Total current liabilities	$	3,966,130	$	2,632,043
Total liabilities	$	3,998,849	$	2,672,536

At June 30, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,795,024 compared to a working capital deficit of $2,441,324 at December 31, 2014. Current liabilities increased to $3,966,130 at June 30, 2015 from $2,632,043 at December 31, 2014.

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $1,647,151 after the net loss of $3,018,956 was decreased by $599,420 in non-cash charges and offset by $772,385 in changes to the other operating assets and liabilities. This compares to cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $836,030 after the net loss for that period of $851,671 was decreased by $1,582,835 in non-cash charges and $104,866 in changes to other operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $517,776, all of which all was used for acquisitions, leases, drilling, and related costs. This compares to $772,801 in drilling and acquisition costs offset by $2,491,888 for acquisition of oil and gas properties, $4,021,000 in proceeds for the sale of our Lightnin' properties, $3,710 for the purchases of furniture and fixtures, and $22,577 for farm out of leaseholds sold for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $2,165,000 of which $2,175,000 was contributions from Navitus and offset by $10,000 in principal payments on debt financing. This compares to $890,000 of contributions from Navitus, $257,901 in distributions to Navitus, $122,469 in costs for debt financing, and $800,000 from bank financing for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which resulted in net cash provided by financing activities of $1,309,630.

On March 17, 2015, Aurora entered into a Waiver of Event of Default (the "Waiver Agreement") with the Lender. Under the terms of the Waiver Agreement, the Lender agreed to waive an event of default under the Loan Agreement for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014, subject to certain conditions which were met with the required time period allowed.

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 Borrowing Base 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. This Forbearance Agreement will go into effect if no additional events of default have occurred with regard to the Credit Agreement, and upon the Company’s payment of $76,081 in payment for the Borrowing Base Deficiency, a forbearance document fee and Lender’s legal expenses. On August 17, 2015, the Company paid the Lender $76,081, and the aforementioned Forbearance Agreement is in effect. This Forbearance Agreement also establishes a new due date for the $260,000 remaining borrowing base deficiency payment as August 31, 2015, at which time the Forbearance Agreement will terminate.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are, and anticipate that we will continue to be, limited in terms of our capital resources. We generally have not had enough cash or sources of capital to pay our accounts payable and expenses as they arise.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Discussions about Market Risk

As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide the information required by this Item. However, we did include market risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2015.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (‘CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2015. Based upon that evaluation, our management concluded that our control over financial reporting and related disclosure controls and procedures reflect a material weakness due to the size and nature of our Company.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all 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.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2015. Based on this assessment, management identified the following material weakness that has caused management to conclude that, as of June 30, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:

We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness. To address this material weakness, management performed additional analyzes and other procedures to ensure that the consolidated financial statements included herein, fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.


2.	During 2014 and 2015, management implemented changes in internal controls for the timely review and approval by the Chief Financial Officer and Controller, of transaction details, in order to properly record them in accordance with GAAP.

To address this material weakness, management performed other procedures and additional analyses to ensure that the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Changes in Internal Controls

The Company continued making changes during the period covered by this report, but these changes have not been tested and cannot be relied upon at this time. These changes have included document version control of the filing document, supervisor review of all accounting entries to recording operator JIB invoices, and new operational accounting variance reports to analyze results of operations. Management plans to continue to put in place changes which will be designed to improve the internal controls over financial reporting during the remainder of 2015. However, during the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that had a material effect, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, on the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Part II – Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

We have substantial liabilities that require that we raise additional financing to support our operations. Such financing may only be available on disadvantageous terms, or may not be available at all. Any new financing could have a substantial dilutive effect on our existing stockholders.

As of June 30, 2015, we had $3,014 of cash, current assets of $171,106, current liabilities of $3,966,130 and a working capital deficit of $3,795,024. Our current liabilities include $3,149,018 of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, some of which are past due, and $256,250 of loans payable that are classified as current because the loan is either evidenced by a note that has matured or is not documented by a note at all. We are currently unable to pay our accounts receivable. If any material creditor decides to commence legal action to collect from us, it could jeopardize our ability to continue in business.

We are will be required to seek additional debt or equity financing in order to pay our current liabilities and to support our anticipated operations. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on satisfactory terms, or at all, and any new equity financing could have a substantial dilutive effect on our existing stockholders. If we cannot obtain additional financing, we will not be able to achieve the operating activities that we need to cover our costs, and our results of operations would be negatively affected.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Unregistered sales of equity securities during the six months ended June 30, 2015:

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 we issued warrants to purchase shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.18 to $0.34 to Navitus in consideration of capital contributions to Aurora of $2,175,000 pursuant to the Company’s capital contribution agreement with Aurora. The Company issued these warrants from January 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015.

We relied on the exemption from registration relating to offerings that do not involve any public offering pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Act. We believe that each investor had adequate access to information about us through the investor’s relationship with us.

Dividends:

Our Credit Agreement with Texas Capital Bank includes certain restrictions on our ability to pay dividends or make other payments or distributions to the holders of our common stock.

Item 3. Default Upon Senior Securities

There is no information required to be reported under this Item.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not Applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

There is no information required to be reported under this Item.
