NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains statements that constitute "forward-looking statements." These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of predictive, future-tense or forward-looking terminology like "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "estimates," "may," or similar terms. These statements appear in a number of places in this annual report and include statements regarding the Company’s intent, belief or current expectations and those of its directors or officers with respect to, among other things:(i) trends affecting its financial condition or results of operations, (ii) its business and growth strategies, and (iii) its financing plans. You are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Factors that could adversely affect actual results and performance include, among others, the Company’s need for additional capital, its history of losses, the intense competition the Company faces in its business, the fact that its stock is a “penny stock” and the other material risks described under “Risk Factors”. The accompanying information contained in this annual report, including, without limitation, the information set forth under the heading "Item 1. Business" identifies important additional factors that could materially adversely affect actual results and performance.

PART I
 
Item 1.
Business

The Registrant, Viking Investments Group, Inc., is sometimes referred to hereinafter as “Viking Investments” or the “Company.” The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on May 3, 1989, as Sparta Ventures Corp. and remained inactive until June 27, 1998. The name of the Company was changed to Thermal Ablation Technologies Corporation on October 8, 1998 and then to Poker.com, Inc. on August 10, 1999. On September 15, 2003, the Company changed its name to LegalPlay Entertainment Inc., and on November 8, 2006, the name of the Company was changed to Synthenol Inc. Effective November 3, 2008, the Company merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary, SinoCubate, Inc., which remained the surviving entity of the merger. SinoCubate, Inc. was formed in the State of Nevada on September 11, 2008. The merger resulted in a change of name of the Company from Synthenol Inc. to SinoCubate, Inc., and a change in the state of incorporation of the Company from Florida to Nevada. On June 13, 2012, the Company changed its name to Viking Investments Group, Inc.

The Company’s current business plan is to provide incubate resources and services to support the successful development of late stage, non-publicly-listed companies based in the United States and emerging growth countries with the ultimate goal and endeavor for them to become publicly listed in the United States. This incubate service includes professional advisory services before and after financing, board member services, accounting, pre-audit and CFO services, corporate governance advice and general corporate management advisory services to entrepreneurs and their advisers in consideration for a fee, comprised of either cash or equity, or a combination of both (hereinafter referred to as a “Transaction” or plural “Transactions”). Viking Investments is neither an underwriter as the term is defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, nor an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940. Viking Investments is not an investment adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Viking Investments is not registered with FINRA or SIPC.

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company began developing a new comprehensive Internet-based classified- business website, targeting the Chinese market B2B and b2C segments, to be further incubated and developed in accordance with the Company’s current plan of operations. 

Other Information

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries engaged in any research and development activities during 2013. The Company does not manufacture any products or engage in any activity that requires compliance with environmental laws.

Employees

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Viking Investments Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Viking Delaware”), employs three people (and has retained one outside consultant) involved in business development, business analysis, financial consulting, web programming and designing, execution and support of the Company’s business.

Reports to Securities Holders

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

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

The following important factors among others, could cause our actual operating results to differ materially from those indicated or suggested by forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-K or presented elsewhere by management from time to time.

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

Conflicts of Interest

Certain conflicts of interest may exist between the Company and its Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Tom Simeo, as well as its majority shareholder, Viking Investments Group, LLC, a company organized under the laws of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis (“Viking Nevis”). Tom Simeo is also the principal officer of Viking Nevis. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through exercise of such judgment as is consistent with fiduciary duties to the Company. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”
 
Need for Additional Financing

The Company currently has limited funds and the lack of additional funds may negatively impact the Company’s ability to pursue its business strategy of providing incubating services, to include financing, professional advisory services, board member services, CFO services, corporate governance and general corporate management to entrepreneurs seeking to enter the capital markets in the US and elsewhere, or to acquire or enter into contractual arrangements with an entity to either acquire such entity or to enter into a contract arrangement that will enable the Company to manage such an entity. Even if the Company’s funds prove to be sufficient to provide such services or to acquire an interest in, or complete a transaction with, an entity, the Company may not have enough capital to exploit the opportunity. The ultimate success of the Company may depend upon its ability to raise additional capital. The Company may investigate the availability, source, or terms that might govern the acquisition of additional capital but will not do so until it determines a need for additional financing. If additional capital is needed, there is no assurance that funds will be available from any source or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. If not available, the Company’s operations will be limited to those that can be financed with its modest capital.

Regulation of Penny Stocks

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

In addition, the SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks.” Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or the Exchange Act. Because the securities of the Company may constitute “penny stocks” within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to the Company and to its securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell the securities of the Company in any market that might develop for them.
 
Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses.
 
Lack of Operating History

Even though providing incubate services is an area that the Company’s CEO is experienced in, the Company has only recently refocused its efforts on providing incubate services to Chinese companies. Due to the special risks inherent in the implementation of a new business emphasis and plan, the Company must be regarded as a new or start-up venture with all of the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties to which such ventures are subject.

No Assurance of Success or Profitability, Especially in Light of the Likely Volatility of foreign Capital Markets

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully implement its business plan and provided the contemplated services to its client companies. Even if the Company should be successful in providing its services to its client companies, there is a risk that developments regarding the political climate or capital markets in foreign countries could negatively impact our revenues, and there is no assurance that we will generate revenues or profits, or that the market price of the Company’s common stock will be increased thereby.

Impracticality of Exhaustive Investigation

The Company has limited or no funds and, this, coupled with the lack of full-time management will likely make it impracticable to conduct a complete and exhaustive investigation and analysis of its opportunities with respect to its prospective client companies. Decisions will therefore likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis, market surveys and the like which, if the Company had more funds available to it, would be desirable. The Company will be particularly dependent in making decisions upon information provided by its prospective client’s promoter, owner, sponsor, or others associated with the business opportunity seeking the Company’s participation. A significant portion of the Company’s available funds may be expended for investigative expenses and other expenses related to preliminary aspects of providing incubate services to clients, and potential profits would therefore be lessened.

Lack of Diversification

Because of the limited financial resources that the Company has, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to diversify its acquisitions or operations. The Company’s probable inability to diversify its activities into more than one area will subject the Company to economic fluctuations within a particular business or industry and therefore increase the risks associated with the Company’s operations.
 
Reliance upon Financial Statements

The Company generally will require audited financial statements from companies with which it seeks to enter into a contractual arrangement. In cases where no audited financials are available, the Company will have to rely upon interim period unaudited information received from a prospective client company’s management that has not been verified by outside auditors. The lack of the type of independent verification which audited financial statements would provide increases the risk that the Company, in evaluating a contractual arrangement with such a company, will not have the benefit of full and accurate information about the financial condition and recent interim operating history of that company. This risk increases the prospect that the contractual arrangement with such a company might prove to be an unfavorable one for the Company or the holders of the Company’s securities.
 
Moreover, the Company will be subject to the reporting provisions of the Exchange Act, and thus will be required to furnish certain information about significant contractual arrangements, including audited financial statements for any business with which it enters into a contractual arrangement for control. Consequently, prospects that do not have, or are unable to provide reasonable assurances that they will be able to obtain, the required audited statements would not be considered by the Company to be appropriate clients so long as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable. Should the Company, during the time it remains subject to the reporting provisions of the Exchange Act, complete into a contract for control of an entity for which audited financial statements prove to be unobtainable, the Company would be exposed to enforcement actions by the SEC and to corresponding administrative sanctions, including permanent injunctions against the Company and its management. The legal and other costs of defending an SEC enforcement action would have material, adverse consequences for the Company and its business. The imposition of administrative sanctions would subject the Company to further adverse consequences. In addition, the lack of audited financial statements would prevent the securities of the Company from becoming eligible for listing on NASDAQ, or on any existing stock exchange.
 
Moreover, the lack of such financial statements is likely to discourage broker-dealers from becoming or continuing to serve as market makers in the securities of the Company. Without audited financial statements, the Company would almost certainly be unable to offer securities under a registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Act, and the ability of the Company to raise capital would be significantly limited until such financial statements were to become available.

Other Regulation

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

The Company is heavily dependent upon the skills, talents, and abilities of its Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Simeo, who currently has other business interests, to manage and implement its business plan.

Lack of Continuity in Management

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

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

Nevada statutes provide for the indemnification of the Company’s directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on behalf of the Company. The Company will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person’s promise to repay the Company if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by the Company which it may be unable to recoup.
 
 
7

 
 
Dependence upon Outside Advisors

To supplement the Company’s officers, directors and principal shareholders, the Company may be required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers, attorneys, or other consultants or advisors. The selection of any such advisors will be made by the Company without any input from stockholders. Furthermore, it is anticipated that such persons may be engaged on an “as needed” basis without a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to the Company. In the event the Company considers it necessary to hire outside advisors, such persons may be affiliates of the Company, if they are able to provide the required services.
 
No Foreseeable Dividends

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

Loss of Control by Present Management and Shareholders

The Company may consider, as consideration for future business opportunities, an amount of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock that would, upon issuance, represent the great majority of the voting power and equity of the Company. The result would be that another company’s stockholders and management would control the Company, and the Company’s Board of Directors and management could be replaced by persons unknown at this time. Such a merger would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership of the Company by its current shareholders.
 
Rule 144 Sales

The majority of the outstanding shares of common stock held by present stockholders are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 in general requires restricted securities to be held for a particular length of time, and prescribes the conditions which must be satisfied prior to the sale of the securities. Under new amendments to Rule 144, if an issuer of securities, such as the Company, has been subject to reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days, then the restricted securities of such issuer are subject to a six-month holding period. Under the amendments, a non-affiliate that has held restricted securities of a reporting issuer for more than six months but less than one year can resell the securities in reliance on Rule 144, if current information is available for the issuer. After one year, the non-affiliate may freely resell the restricted securities without regard to any Rule 144 condition. A non-affiliate of a non-reporting issuer must hold the securities for one year before any public resale. After one year, a non-affiliate may freely resell such securities without regard to Rule 144 conditions. Under the new amendments, Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by a shell company (reporting or non-reporting) or a former shell company unless certain conditions detailed under Rule 144 are met. A sale under Rule 144 or under any exemption from the Securities Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registration of shares of common stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the Company’s common stock.

Penny Stock
 
Our common stock is considered "penny stock" under the rules the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market System, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that:
 
 
contains a description of the nature and level of risks in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
 
contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities' laws; contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
 
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
 
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and
 
contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Commission shall require   by rule or regulation.
 
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with:
 
 
bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
 
the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
 
the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the marker for such stock; and

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended or the Reform Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, any projections of earning, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new services or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions of performance; and statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following: the Company’s ability to raise capital and the terms thereof; and other factors referenced in the Form 10-K.
 
The use in this Form 10-K of such words as “believes”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “intends”, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. These forward-looking statements present the Company’s estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. Except for the Company’s ongoing obligation to disclose material information as required by the federal securities laws, the Company does not intend, and undertakes no obligation, to update any forward-looking statements.

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

Overview

The Company’s current business plan is to provide incubate resources and services to support the successful development of late stage, non-publicly-listed companies based in the United States and emerging growth countries with the ultimate goal and endeavor for them to become publicly listed in the United States. These incubate services include professional advisory services before and after financing, board member services, accounting, pre-audit and CFO services, corporate governance advice and general corporate management advisory services to entrepreneurs and their advisers in consideration for a fee, comprised of either cash or equity, or a combination of both (hereinafter referred to as a “Transaction” or plural “Transactions”). It is believed that successful completion of a business incubation program increases the likelihood that a company will stay in business for the long term. The Company is neither an underwriter as the term is defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Company is not an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Company is not an investment adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 nor is it registered with FINRA or SIPC.
 
Going Concern Qualification

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

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At December 31, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $284,193, compared to a working capital deficiency of $80,891 at December 31, 2012.

Revenue

The Company had no revenue during the year ended December 31, 2013, and $47,066 in revenue during the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
Expenses

The Company’s operating expenses were $448,555 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared with $465,592 for the corresponding period in 2012. The slight decrease was mainly due to the decrease of office and wage expenses.

The increase in net loss was mainly due to the change in fair value of convertible notes during the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2012.

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Viking Investments Group, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Viking Investments Group, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses and has a deficit accumulated since inception which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1
Nature of Business and Going Concern
 
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on May 3, 1989 as Sparta Ventures Corp. and remained inactive until June 27, 1998. The name of the Company was changed to Thermal Ablation Technologies Corporation on October 8, 1998 and then to Poker.com, Inc. on August 10, 1999. On September 15, 2003, the Company changed its name to Legal Play Entertainment Inc. and on November 8, 2006, the name of the Company was changed to Synthenol Inc. Effective November 3, 2008, the Company merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary, SinoCubate, Inc., which remained the surviving entity of the merger. SinoCubate, Inc. was formed in the State of Nevada on September 11, 2008. The merger resulted in a change of name of the Company from Synthenol Inc. to SinoCubate, Inc. and a change in the state of incorporation of the Company from Florida to Nevada. On June 13, 2012, the Company changed its name to Viking Investments Group, Inc., ("Viking Investments" or "the Company") and effective July 16, 2012, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) approved this name change, and the Company’s ticker symbol was changed to “VKIN.”

Beginning in November 2008, the Company sought to enter into contractual arrangements with entities that allow the Company to either purchase outright the assets and/or business operations of such entities or to enter into business arrangements, such as joint ventures or similar combinations with such entities to manage and operate such entities. In 2011, the Company began providing incubation and consulting services to emerging market companies. Commencing from the third quarter of the 2012 fiscal year, the Company started to generate revenue and is no longer considered a development stage enterprise.
 
The company established a registered representative office in Shanghai City, People’s Republic China (“PRC”) and through which the Company carries out certain permitted activities.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
 
The Company had a net loss of $517,914 and $430,790 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company had a working capital deficiency in the amount of $284,193 as of December 31, 2013.  The Company has accumulated a negative stockholders’ deficiency of $279,140 and $80,891 as at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances; however there is no assurance of additional funding being available.
 
These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company have to curtail operations or be unable to continue in existence.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts expressed in US dollars)

 
Note 2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 
a)
Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in United States (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.
 
The foregoing audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for consolidated financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-K as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the audited consolidated financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the period presented.
 
 
b)
Basis of Consolidation
  
The financial statements presented herein reflect the consolidated financial results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Viking Investments Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. 
 
 
c)
Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and timing of revenues and expenses, the reported amounts and classification of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company’s actual results could vary materially from management’s estimates and assumptions. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the determination of expected tax rates for future income tax recoveries, stock-based compensation and impairment of long-term investment.
 
 
d)
Financial Instruments
 
ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 820-10, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for other receivables, other payable, accrued liabilities, short term loan and due to director each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

·
Level 1: inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

·
Level 2: inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
·
Level 3: inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Loss per Share
 
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and, adjusted by any effects of warrants and options outstanding, if dilutive, that may add to the number of common shares during the period. There were no common stock equivalent shares outstanding at December 31, 2013 and 2012 that have been included in the diluted loss per share calculation as the effects would have been anti-dilutive.
 
 
g)
Revenue Recognition

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

Comprehensive Income
 
FASB ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, comprehensive loss was $ (517,716) and $ (429,177) respectively.

 
i)
Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets likely. The Company did not incur any material impact to its financial condition or results of operations due to the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company is subject to U.S federal jurisdiction income tax examinations for the tax years 2006 through 2013. In addition, the Company is subject to state and local income tax examinations for the tax years 2006 through 2013.

 
j)
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company may issue stock options to employees and stock options or warrants to non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company has adopted ASC Topic 718 (formerly SFAS 123R), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, which establishes a fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. In accordance with guidance now incorporated in ASC Topic 718, the cost of stock options and warrants issued to employees and non-employees is measured on the grant date based on the fair value. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period.
 
 The fair value of stock warrants was determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option model requires management to make various estimates and assumptions, including expected term, expected volatility, risk-free rate, and dividend yield. The expected term represents the period of time that stock-based compensation awards granted are expected to be outstanding and is estimated based on considerations including the vesting period, contractual term and anticipated employee exercise patterns. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in relation to the contractual life of stock-based compensation instrument. The dividend yield assumption is based on historical patterns and future expectations for the Company dividends.

Leasehold Improvements
 
Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Amortization is recognized in the statement of operations over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the following annual rate and method:
 
 
Leasehold Improvements
Straight line over period of lease
 
 
l)
Long-term Investment
 
Management determines the appropriate classification of investment securities at the time of purchase. Securities are classified held-to-maturity when the Company has both the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term are classified as trading securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, with the impairment losses, net of income taxes, charged to net income in the period in which it occurs.

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

Impairments that are considered other-than-temporary are recognized as a loss in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company considers various factors in reviewing impairments, including the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the Company’s cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.
 
As at December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no trading and held-to-maturity securities. The Company’s long-term investment in the China Wood Shares was written off as of December 31, 2011, and repurchased by Viking Nevis on August 15, 2013. See Note 3 for more information regarding the China Wood Shares.

Foreign Currency Exchange
 
An entity's functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, normally that is the currency of the environment in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. Management's judgment is essential to determine the functional currency by assessing various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements. Functional currency of the parent company is U.S. Dollar. The reporting currency of the Company is U.S. Dollar, and the functional currency of its PRC operation is RMB. PRC is the primary economic environment in which the Representative Office operates. The reporting currency of these consolidated financial statements is the U.S. Dollar.

For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company's Representative Office which is prepared using the RMB are translated into the Company's reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average rates prevailing during each reporting period, and shareholders' equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity.
 
 
n)
Convertible Notes Payable
 
The Company accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with ASC 815. ASC 815 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments.
 
The Company has evaluated the terms and conditions of the convertible note under the guidance of ASC 815. The conversion feature did not meet the definition of “indexed to a company’s own stock” provided for in ASC 815 due to the down round protection feature. Therefore, the conversion feature requires bifurcation and liability classification. Additionally, the default put requires bifurcation because it is indexed to risks that are not associated with credit or interest risk. As a result, the compound embedded derivative comprises of (i) the embedded conversion feature and (i) the default put. Rather than bifurcating and recording the compound embedded derivative as a derivative liability, the Company elected to initially and subsequently measure the convertible note in its entirety at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in accordance with ASC 815-15-25-4.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (ASU 2012-02), allowing entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test.  If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no testing is required. ASU 2012-02 is effective for the Company in the period beginning January 1, 2013. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements ut may have an impact in the future periods.
 
In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-04, Technical Corrections and Improvements. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the accounting standards codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the accounting standards codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 has no material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-03, Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC SAB No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22(SEC update) in accounting standards update No. 2012-03.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, the amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 has no material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Accounting standards require the consideration of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is "more likely than not" that some component or all of the benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
No provision for income taxes has been provided in these consolidated financial statements due to the net loss for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The net operating loss will expire at various times to December 31, 2032.

Preferred Stock
 
The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share.
 
On October 3, 2012, the Company issued 28,092 shares of preferred stock to the Chairman of the Company in exchange for the return of the equal amount of shares of common stock, owned by the Chairman, deposited in a brokerage account, to the Company for cancellation. As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s transfer agent has still not received the 28,092 shares of common stock for cancellation, although the Chairman has acknowledged his unconditional obligation to return the 28,092 shares of common stock to the Company and has arranged for his brokerage firm to do so. Thus the 28,092 shares of common stock to be cancelled are shown as no longer issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2012, while the 28,092 shares of preferred stock are shown as issued and outstanding. Neither the common stock, nor the preferred stock were assessed any value.

Each share of such Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $0.001 per share. 
 
Each share of Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to two thousand (2,000) votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time on or after the date that Preferred Stock has been issued (“Distribution Date) declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction of the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
 
Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into one share of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock (the “Conversion Rate").

On January 11, 2013, the Company authorized and approved the issuance of 200,000 free trading shares of common stock to the Company’s lawyer for the provision of $30,000 in legal services rendered to the Company, at a fair value of $0.15 per share.
 
On January 10, 2013, 879,196 shares of the Company’s common stock which had been issued to a creditor as the collateral for the loan were returned to the Company for cancellation. See Note 4.
 
On June 6, 2013, 7,472,093 shares of the Company’s common stock were returned by Viking Nevis to the Company for cancellation, pursuant to the Guaranty and Repurchase Agreement. See Note 8.

Guarantee and Repurchase Agreement (Disposal of Long-term Investment)
 
On June 29, 2011, and on August 29, 2011, Viking Investment, LLC, a company controlled and managed by the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Tom Simeo, incorporated under the laws of The Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, (“Viking Nevis”) sold 100,000 and 466,813 shares respectively of China Wood, Inc., publicly listed in the United States with the ticker “CNWD”, (the “China Wood Shares”) owned by Viking Nevis, in exchange of 1,912,000 and 12,569,420 newly issued restricted shares of common stock of the Company respectively.
 
On April 11, 2012, Viking Nevis guaranteed that the price of the 566,813 shares of China Wood Inc., (that it had previously sold to the Company in consideration of the Company issuing Viking Nevis 14,481,420 shares of Company common stock), would not be less than $4.50 per share and agreed to repurchase the China Wood Shares by tendering shares of common stock of the Company owned by Viking Nevis to the Company if the 45-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the China Wood Shares was equal to or less than $4.00 per share. As the 45-day VWAP of the China Wood Shares has been $4.00 or less per share since the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company demanded Viking Nevis repurchase the China Wood Shares, and in a written repurchase agreement executed on April 15, 2013, by both parties, Viking Nevis agreed to do so by returning 7,472,093 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company for cancellation.
 
The Company, in valuing the China Wood shares (Note 3), had initially relied upon Viking Nevis’s Guaranty and Repurchase Agreement to value the China Wood Shares at $4.00/share in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. During the three month period ended September 30, 2013, the Company restated its financial statements as of December 31, 2011, and all financial statements subsequent to that date, to record the China Wood Shares at their carrying value on the transaction date, and such value was fully impaired as of December 31, 2011.
 
On April 15, 2013, pursuant to the Guaranty and Repurchase Agreement, Viking Nevis agreed to repurchase the China Wood Shares from the Company by returning 7,472,093 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company’s transfer agent for cancellation.  Those 7,472,093 shares were returned to the Company and cancelled on June 7, 2013.

(a)
May 21, 2013 Convertible Note
 
On May 21, 2013, the Company issued a $58,000 8% convertible note with a term expiring on February 28, 2014 (the “Maturity Date”). The principal amount of the note and interest is payable on the maturity date. The note is convertible into common stock beginning 180 days after the issuance date, at the holder’s option, at a 42% discount to the average of the five lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 10 trading day period prior to conversion. In the event the Company prepays the note in full, the Company is required to pay off all principal, interest and any other amounts owing multiplied by (i) 110% if prepaid during the period commencing on the closing date through 30 days thereafter, (ii) 115% if prepaid 31 days following the closing through 60 days following the closing, (iii) 120% if prepaid 61 days following the closing through 90 days following the closing, (iv) 125% if prepaid 91 days following the closing through 120 days following the closing, (v) 130% if prepaid 121 days following the closing through the 150 days following the closing, (vi) 135% if prepaid 151 days following the closing through the 180 days following the closing, and (vii) the Company shall have no right of prepayment after the expiration of 180 days following the closing.

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

Risk Management
 
The Company is exposed to financial risks due to the nature of its business and the financial assets it holds. A summary of the Company’s risk exposures as it relates to financial instruments are reflected below:
 
 
(a)
Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value from a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company will be exposed to potential losses if the price of the long-term investment it hold decreases.
 
 
(b)
Liquidity risk

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash balances to meet operation expense requirement in additional to expenses assumed by majority shareholders.
 
 
(c)
Credit Risk

Credit risk also arises from cash and deposits with banks and financial institutions. To minimize the credit risk the Company places these instruments with a high credit quality financial institution.
 
Note 11.
Subsequent Events
 
On March 13, 2014, Tom Simeo (the “Seller”), the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, entered into a stock purchase agreement with MHR Enterprises LLC (the “Buyer”), for the sale of 28,092 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) to the Buyer. Such shares have been delivered to escrow and will be released from escrow to the Buyer after (a) the Company has filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2013, (b) the Buyer has received satisfactory evidence that Company liabilities have been satisfied, and (c) the Seller has received payment for the Shares. As each share of the Preferred Stock has 2,000 votes, the delivery of the Shares to the Buyer will constitute a change of control of the Company.

Item 9A.
Controls and Procedures.

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

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

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company’s management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by the Company's chief financial officer in connection with the audit of the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2013 and communicated the matters to the Company’s management.

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have an effect on the Company's financial results. However, management believes that the lack of outside directors on the Company's board of directors can resulting in oversight in the establishing and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures which can affect the process of preparing Company's financial statements.
 
Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's Board. In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following material weaknesses (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial close and reporting processes. Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result in proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the financial reporting department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support the Company if personnel turn over issues within the financial reporting department occur. This coupled with the appointment of additional outside directors will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues the Company may encounter in the future.
 
 
14

 
 
Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of its internal controls and procedures and its internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
 
(a)
Disclosure Controls and Procedures; Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2012. Based on this evaluation, Management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2013.

(b)
Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
 
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
 
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
 
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on those criteria.
 
 
15

 
 
To remediate our internal control weaknesses, management intends to implement the following measures:
 
The Company will add sufficient number of independent directors to the board and appoint an audit committee.
 
 
The Company will add sufficient knowledgeable accounting personnel to properly segregate duties and to effect a timely, accurate preparation of the financial statements.
 
 
Upon the hiring of additional accounting personnel, the Company will develop and maintain adequate written accounting policies and procedures.
 
The additional hiring is contingent upon the Company’s efforts to obtain additional funding through equity or debt for its continued operational activities and corporate expenses. Management expects to secure funds in the coming fiscal year but provides no assurances that it will be able to do so.
 
We understand that remediation of material weaknesses and deficiencies in internal controls are a continuing work in progress due to the issuance of new standards and promulgations. However, remediation of any known deficiency is among our highest priorities. Our management will periodically assess the progress and sufficiency of our ongoing initiatives and make adjustments as and when necessary.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report. On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Included in the Act is a provision that permanently exempts smaller public companies that qualify as either a Non-Accelerated Filer or Smaller Reporting Company from the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

There are no family relationships between any of the Company’s officers and directors.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
 
The Company does not currently have an audit committee financial expert, nor does it have an audit committee. The Company’s entire board of directors handles the functions that would otherwise be handled by an audit committee. The Company does not currently have the capital resources to pay director fees to a qualified independent expert who would be willing to serve on its board and who would be willing to act as an audit committee financial expert. As its business expands and as it appoints others to its board of directors, the Company expects that it will seek a qualified independent expert to become a member of its board of directors. Before retaining any such expert the Company’s board would make a determination as to whether such person is independent.
 
Code of Ethics
 
The Company has not yet formally adopted a written code of ethics to be applied to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. Based on its small size, limited financial and human resources, the Company has not adopted written code of ethics.
