Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

 

On April 5, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Camber Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), after discussion with management and in consultation with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2024 (collectively, the “Restated Periods”), as included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the respective periods (collectively, the “Prior Filings”), should no longer be relied upon due to errors in those financial statements.

 

The Company determined that it incorrectly applied revenue recognition principles in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, during the Restated Periods. Specifically, beginning in March 2024, the Company’s 60.5% owned subsidiary, Simson-Maxwell, incorrectly concluded that certain contract payment milestones represented performance obligations for which revenue could be recognized. As a result, revenue, net loss, and certain related balance sheet items were materially misstated in certain of the Prior Filings.

 

The Company intends to file amendments to the Quarterly Reports on the Form 10-Q for the respective periods, including restated unaudited financial statements and related disclosures as promptly as practicable. The Company has also considered the guidance in ASC 250-10-50, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, and will include appropriate disclosures regarding the nature of the misstatements and the impact of the corrections. The restatements to the unaudited financial statements do not impact the cash flows of the Company.

 

In addition, the Company has determined that it had a material weakness in its internal controls related to revenue recognition during the Restated Periods. The Company has previously disclosed in the Prior Filings the existence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

  

The Company has discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02(a) with its independent registered public accounting firm, Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P.
