Petro River Oil Corp. (the " Company ") is an independent energy company focused on the exploration and development of conventional oil and gas assets with low discovery and development costs. The Company is currently focused on moving forward with drilling wells on several of its properties owned directly and indirectly through its interest in Horizon Energy Partners, LLC (" Horizon Energy "), as well as taking advantage of the relative depressed market in oil prices to enter highly prospective plays with Horizon Energy and other industry-leading partners. Diversification over a number of projects, each with low initial capital expenditures and strong risk reward characteristics, reduces risk and provides cross-functional exposure to a number of attractive risk adjusted opportunities.

The Company's core holdings are in the Mid-Continent Region in Oklahoma and in Kern County, California. Following the acquisition of Horizon I Investments, LLC (" Horizon Investments "), the Company now has exposure to a portfolio of several domestic and international oil and gas assets consisting of highly prospective conventional plays diversified across project type, geographic location and risk profile, as well as access to a broad network of industry leaders from Horizon Investment's 20% interest in Horizon Energy.  Horizon Energy is an oil and gas exploration and development company owned and managed by former senior oil and gas executives.  It has a portfolio of domestic and international assets, including two assets located in the United Kingdom, adjacent to the giant Wytch Farm oil field, the largest onshore oil field in Western Europe.  Other projects include the proposed redevelopment of a large oil field in Kern County, California and the development of an additional recent discovery in Kern County.  Each of the assets in the Horizon Energy portfolio is characterized by low initial capital expenditure requirements and strong risk reward characteristics.

The execution of our business plan is dependent on obtaining necessary working capital.  While no assurances can be given, in the event management is able to obtain additional working capital, we plan to acquire high-quality oil and gas properties, primarily proved producing and proved undeveloped reserves. We also intend to explore low-risk development drilling and work-over opportunities.  Management is also exploring farm in and joint venture opportunities for our oil and gas assets.

Our primary objective is to enhance shareholder value by increasing our net asset value, net reserves and cash flow through development, exploitation, exploration, and acquisition of oil and gas properties.

We intend to follow a balanced risk strategy by allocating capital expenditures to a combination of lower risk development and high potential exploration prospects. Key elements of our business strategy include the following:

Develop and exploit our existing oil and natural gas properties . Our principal growth strategy has been to explore, develop and exploit our acquired and leased properties to add proven reserves.

Pursue selective acquisitions . The Company has acquired leasehold positions that it believes contain substantial resource potential and meet its targeted returns on invested capital. Management intends to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions that meet the Company's operational and financial targets. We seek to acquire developed and undeveloped oil and gas properties that will provide us with additional development and exploratory prospect opportunities. We may also acquire a working interest in one or more prospects from others and participate with the other working interest owners in drilling and, if warranted, completing oil or gas wells on a prospect. We may purchase producing oil or gas properties.

Use the latest 3-D seismic technology to maximize returns . Technical advances in imaging and modeling can lower risk and enhance productivity. The Company intends to utilize 3-D seismic and other technological advancements that benefit its exploratory and developmental drilling program.

Limit our current exploration and acquisition activities to conventional oil plays with a projected breakeven price of $30 per barrel or less.   We intend to focus our resources on more easily recoverable conventional reserves.

During the current downturn, obtain price concessions from third party vendors , specifically those involved in our drilling and completion activities and day-to-day well maintenance.

The Company is currently engaged in oil and natural gas acquisition, exploration, development and production, with activities in Oklahoma and California in the United States, and Northern Ireland, Denmark and the U.K in Western Europe. We focus on developing our existing properties, while continuing to pursue acquisitions of oil and gas properties with upside potential.

The Company intends to grow its resources and production through exploration activities and development of identified potential drilling locations, and through acquisitions that meet the Company's strategic and financial objectives. Our plan includes:

Leveraging our management experience . The Company's executive team, along with Horizon Energy, the Company's operating partner, has extensive and proven experience in the oil and gas industry. We believe that the experience of our executive team will help reduce the time and cost associated with drilling and completing exploration and development of our conventional assets and potentially increasing recovery. Collectively, our management team and engineering professionals identify and evaluate acquisition opportunities, negotiate and close purchases and manage acquired properties.

Leveraging our established business relationships . Our executive team, along with Horizon Energy, has many relationships with operators and service providers in our core asset regions. We believe that leveraging our relationships will be a competitive advantage in developing our acreage and identifying acquisition targets.

De-risking our acreage position and build a vertical drilling program . The Company has identified a multi-year inventory of potential drilling locations that will drive reserves and production growth and provide attractive return opportunities. The Company views its Osage, Kern County and Grapevine projects as de-risked because of the significant production history in the area and well-established industry activity surrounding the acreage.

Partnership with Horizon Energy . Following the acquisition of Horizon Investments, the Company has an indirect interest, through Horizon Investment's 20% ownership in Horizon Energy, in a portfolio of several domestic and international oil and gas assets consisting of highly prospective conventional plays diversified across project type, geographic location and risk profile, as well as access to a broad network of industry leaders.

Horizon Energy is an oil and gas exploration and development company owned and managed by former senior oil and gas executives.  It has a portfolio of domestic and international assets, including two assets located in the United Kingdom, adjacent to the giant Wytch Farm oil field, the largest onshore oil field in Western Europe.  Other projects include the proposed redevelopment of a large oil field in Kern County, California and the development of an additional recent discovery in Kern County.  Each of the assets in the Horizon Energy portfolio is characterized by low initial capital expenditure requirements and strong risk reward characteristics.

Financial flexibility . Our capital structure and high degree of operational control continues to provide us with significant financial flexibility. We have no corporate debt in our capital structure, enabling us to make capital decisions with no restrictions imposed by debt covenants, lender oversight and/or mandatory repayment schedules. Additionally, in concert with our partner, Horizon Energy, we control the majority of our anticipated future net drilling locations, including the timing and selection of drilling locations as well as completion schedules. This allows us to modify our capital spending program depending on financial resources, leasehold requirements and market conditions.

Management experience . Our key management team possesses an average of over thirty years of experience in oil and gas exploration and production in multiple resource plays, including exploration and production in the Company's core regions of Osage, Oklahoma, Kern County, California, and the North Sea.

Cost-efficient operators . In the past, our management team has shown an ability to drill wells in a cost-efficient way and to successfully integrate acquired assets without incurring significant increases in overhead.

The Company was originally incorporated under the Company Act (British Columbia) on February 8, 2000 under the name Brockton Capital Corp. We then changed our name to MegaWest Energy Corp. effective February 27, 2010, before changing it to Gravis Oil Corp. on June 20, 2011. On September 11, 2012, we re-organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as a corporation organized under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Prior to September 11, 2012, and at April 30, 2012, we were organized under the laws of Alberta, Canada.

Petro River Oil LLC (" Petro "), an indirect subsidiary of the Company and wholly owned subsidiary of MegaWest Energy Kansas Corp., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 3, 2011 (" MegaWest "). Through proceeds received from the issuance of various promissory notes, on February 1, 2012, Petro purchased various interests in oil and gas leases, wells, records, data and related personal property located along the play in the state of Kansas (" Mississippi Assets ").   Effective December 23, 2015, Petro divested the Mississippi Assets. In connection with the divestiture, the assignee and purchaser of the Mississippi Assets agreed to pay outstanding liabilities, including unpaid taxes, and assume certain responsibilities to plug any abandoned wells. No cash consideration was paid for the interests.

Share Exchange . On April 23, 2013, the Company executed and consummated a securities purchase agreement by and among the Company, Petro, and certain investors in Petro (the " Investors "), namely, the holders of outstanding secured promissory notes of Petro (the " Notes "), and those holding membership interests in Petro (the " Membership Interests ", and, together with the Notes, the " Acquired Securities ") sold by Petro (the " Share Exchange "). In the Share Exchange, the Investors exchanged their Acquired Securities for 591,021,011 newly issued shares of the Company's common stock (2,955,105 shares of common stock based on the December 2015 reverse stock split – see "Reverse Stock Split" below). Upon completion of the Share Exchange, Petro became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company acquired 100% of the membership units of Petro and consequently, control of Petro's business and operations. Under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (" U.S. GAAP "), because Petro's former members and note holders held 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company as a result of the Share Exchange, Petro was deemed the accounting acquirer while the Company remains the legal acquirer. Petro adopted the fiscal year of the Company. Prior to the Share Exchange, all historical financial statements presented are those of Petro. The equity of the Company is the historical equity of Petro, restated to reflect the number of shares issued by the Company in the transaction.

Acquisition of Interest in Bandolier Energy LLC . On May 30, 2014, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement pursuant to which the Company was issued a 50% interest in Bandolier Energy, LLC (" Bandolier ") in exchange for a capital contribution of $5.0 million (the " Bandolier Acquisition "). In connection with the Bandolier Acquisition, the Company had the right to appoint a majority of the board of managers of Bandolier. The Company's Executive Chairman was a manager of, and owned a 20% membership interest in, Pearsonia West Investment Group, LLC (" Pearsonia West "), a special purpose vehicle formed for the purpose of investing in Bandolier with the Company and Ranger Station, LLC (" Ranger Station "). Concurrent with the Bandolier Acquisition, Pearsonia West was issued a 44% interest in Bandolier for cash consideration of $4.4 million, and Ranger Station was issued a 6% interest in Bandolier for cash consideration of $600,000. In connection with Pearsonia West's investment in Bandolier, the Company and Pearsonia West entered into an agreement, dated May 30, 2014, granting the members of Pearsonia West an option, exercisable at any time prior to May 30, 2017, to exchange their pro rata share of the Bandolier membership interests for shares of the Company's common stock, at a price of $0.08 per share, subject to adjustment (the " Option "). The Option, if fully exercised, would result in the Company issuing 55,000,000 shares of its common stock (275,000 shares of common stock at a price of $16 per share based on the December 2015 reverse stock split – see "Reverse Stock Split" below), or 6% to the members of Pearsonia West. 

Until the execution of the Contribution Agreement, described below, the Company had operational control along with a 50% ownership interest in Bandolier. As a result, the Company consolidated Bandolier. The remaining 50% non–controlling interest represented the equity investment from Pearsonia West and Ranger Station. The Company allocated the proportionate share of the net operating income/loss to both the Company and the non-controlling interest.

Subsequent to the initial capitalization of Bandolier, Bandolier acquired, for $8,712,893 less a $407,161 claw back, all of the issued and outstanding equity of Spyglass Energy Group, LLC (" Spyglass "), the owner of oil and gas leases, leaseholds, lands, and options and concessions thereto located in Osage County, Oklahoma. Spyglass controlled a significant contiguous oil and gas acreage position in Northeastern Oklahoma, consisting of approximately 106,000 acres, with substantial original oil in place, stacked reservoirs, as well as exploratory and development opportunities that could be accessed through both horizontal and vertical drilling. Significant infrastructure was already in place including 32 square miles of 3-D seismic, 3 phase power, a dedicated sub-station as well as multiple oil producing horizontal wells.

The Company recorded the purchase of Spyglass by Bandolier using the acquisition method of accounting as specified in  ASC 805 "Business Combinations."  This method of accounting requires the acquirer to (i) record purchase consideration issued to sellers in a business combination at fair value on the date control is obtained, (ii) determine the fair value of any non-controlling interest, and (iii) allocate the purchase consideration to alltangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their acquisition date fair values. Further, the Company commenced reporting the results of Spyglass on a consolidated basis with those of the Company effective upon the date of the acquisition.

MegaWest Transaction.   On October 15, 2015, the Company entered into a contribution agreement (the " Contribution Agreement ") with MegaWest and Fortis Property Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (" Fortis "), pursuant to which the Company and Fortis each agreed to contribute certain assets to MegaWest in exchange for shares of MegaWest common stock (" MegaWest Shares ") (the " MegaWest Transaction ").

Upon execution of the Contribution Agreement, (i) the Company transferred its 50% membership interest in Bandolier (the  "Bandolier Interest" ), and cancelled all of its ownership interest in the then issued and outstanding MegaWest Shares, which prior to the MegaWest Transaction represented 100% ownership of MegaWest; and (ii) Fortis transferred certain indirect interests held in 30 condominium units and the rights to any profits and proceeds therefrom.  Immediately thereafter, MegaWest issued to the Company 58,510 MegaWest Shares, representing a 58.51% equity interest in MegaWest, as consideration for the assignment of the Bandolier Interest, and issued to Fortis 41,490 MegaWest Shares, representing a 41.49% equity interest in MegaWest, as consideration for the assets assigned to MegaWest by Fortis.  The account receivable and the Company's interest in real estate reflected on the Company's balance sheet are assets held by MegaWest, and are controlled by MegaWest's board of directors, consisting of two members appointed by Fortis, and one by the Company. The relative composition of the board of directors of MegaWest shall continue as long as Fortis has an equity interest in MegaWest.

Proceeds from the amounts receivable from Fortis will not be available until such time as the Company has completed its evaluation of the Bandolier prospects, at which time the Redetermination will be performed. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Contribution Agreement, the Contribution Agreement provided for a redetermination of the fair market value of the Bandolier Interest at any time following the six month anniversary after the execution thereof (the " Redetermination "),  Upon a Redetermination, which has not occurred as of July 28, 2017, but is anticipated prior to December 31, 2017, in the event there is a shortfall from the valuation ascribed to the Bandolier Interest at the time of the Redetermination, as compared to the value ascribed to the Bandolier Interest in the Contribution Agreement, the Company will be required to provide Fortis with a cash payment in an amount equal to the shortfall.  If the Company is unable to deliver to Fortis the cash payment required after the Redetermination, if any, the board of directors of MegaWest shall have the right to exercise certain remedies against the Company, including a right to foreclose on the Company's entire equity in MegaWest, which equity interest has been pledged to Fortis under the terms of the Contribution Agreement.  In the event of foreclosure, the Bandolier Interest would revert back to the Company, and the Company would record a loss for the amount of the notes receivable, interest in real estate rights, accounts receivable – related party, and any accrued interest.

Acquisition of Horizon Investments.  On December 1, 2015, the Company entered into a conditional purchase agreement with Horizon Investments (as amended, the " Purchase Agreement "), pursuant to which the Company acquired, on May 3, 2016, (i) a 20% membership interest in Horizon Energy; (ii) certain promissory notes issued by Horizon Investments to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $1.6 million (the " Horizon Notes "); (iii) approximately $690,000 held in escrow pending closing under the Purchase Agreement (the " Closing Proceeds "); and (iv) certain bank, investment and other accounts maintained by Horizon Investments, in an amount which, together with the principal amount of the Horizon Note and the Closing Proceeds, totaled not less than $5.0 million (collectively, the " Purchased Assets "). The consideration for the Purchased Assets was 11,564,249 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.00001 par value (" Common Stock ") , which shares were issued to Horizon Investments at closing.

$2.0 Million Secured Note Financing . On June 13, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (" Purchase Agreement ") with Petro Exploration Funding, LLC (" Funding Corp ."), pursuant to which the Company issued to Funding Corp. a senior secured promissory note to finance the Company's working capital requirements (the " Note Financing "), in the principal amount of $2.0 million (" Secured Note "). As additional consideration for the Note Financing, the Company issued to Funding Corp. (i) a warrant to purchase 840,336 shares of the Company's Common Stock (" Warrant "), and (ii) an overriding royalty interest equal to 2% in all production from the Company's interest in the Company's concessions located in Osage County, Oklahoma, currently held by Spyglass, pursuant to an Assignment of Overriding Royalty Interests (the " Assignment ").

The Secured Note accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum, and matures on June 30, 2020. To secure the repayment of all amounts due under the terms of the Secured Note, the Company entered into a Security Agreement, pursuant to which the Company granted to Funding Corp. a security interest in all assets of the Company. The first interest payment will be due on June 1, 2018 and each six-month anniversary thereafter until the outstanding principal balance of the Secured Note is paid in full.

The Warrant is exercisable immediately upon issuance, for an exercise price per share equal to $2.38 per share, and shall terminate, if not previously exercised, five years from the date of issuance.

Scot Cohen, a member of the Company's Board of Directors and a substantial stockholder of the Company, owns or controls 31.25% of Funding Corp.

Kern County Drilling Program Results. On July 18, 2017, the Company announced a new oil field discovery in its Sunset Boulevard prospect in Kern County, California upon successfully drilling the Cattani-Rennie 47X-15 exploration well (" CR 47X "). The CR 47X was drilled to a depth of approximately 8,500 feet and confirmed at least two commercially successful pay zones.   The discovery is currently being evaluated but initial results indicate significant reserve potential.  Following completion and production tests, the Company will announce development plans.  Several additional prospect wells are now being planned to be drilled in Kern County.

The Company owns a 19.25% interest in the Kern County field based on a 13.75% direct working interest and 5.5% indirect working interest through its 20% equity investment in Horizon Energy. Historically, since its 1933 discovery, this field has produced over 100 million barrels of oil and equivalents from six distinct reservoirs. The Company's 3-D survey constitutes the first modern seismic data (including both 2-D and 3-D) acquired over this geologically complex field.

Osage County Drilling Program Results. On May 8, 2017, the Company announced a new oil field discovery in it ' s 106,500-acre concession in Osage County, Oklahoma upon successfully drilling the Chat 2-11 exploration well. The Chat 2-11 was drilled to a depth of 2,800 feet into the Mississippian Chat. Initial results indicated up to 20 feet of oil productive formation. Following flow and fracking tests, the Company plans to confirm IP rates.

On May 30, 2017, the Company announced a second new oil field discovery in its' 106,500-acre concession in Osage County, Oklahoma upon successfully drilling the Red Fork 1-3 exploration well. The Red Fork 1-3 was drilled to a depth of 2,800 feet into the Mississippian Chat. Initial results indicated up to 30 feet of oil productive formation. Following flow and fracking tests, the Company plans to confirm IP rates. These structures were identified utilizing 3D seismic technology, indicating a potential of up to 2.5 million barrels of oil.

The Company's Osage County drilling program is the result of a Joint Exploration and Development Agreement (the " Exploration Agreement "), dated August 19, 2016, between Spyglass, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bandolier, Phoenix 2016, LLC (" Phoenix ") and Mackey Consulting & Leasing, LLC (" Mackey "). Pursuant to the Exploration Agreement, Phoenix and Mackey operates and provides certain services, including obtaining permits and providing technical services, at cost, in connection with a Phase I Development Program as agreed to by the parties (the " Phase I Program ").  Phoenix and Mackey shall earn a 25% working interest on all wells drilled in the Phase I Program.  Following success and completion of the Phase I Program, Phoenix and Mackey shall earn a 25% working interest in the Osage County, Oklahoma Concession held by Spyglass. Under the Exploration Agreement, Bandolier has agreed commit up to $2.1 million towards costs of the Phase I Program, at its sole discretion.

Reverse Stock Split. At its Annual Meeting held on September 20, 2016, the Company's shareholders approved a resolution to authorize the Company's Board of Directors, in its sole and absolute discretion, to amend the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to implement a reverse stock split of our Common Stock, at a ratio of not less than 1-for-2, and not greater than 1-for-10 (" Reverse Split "), within one year from the date of the Annual Meeting, with the exact ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has not determined the ratio, and does not currently intend to execute the Reverse Split until such time as the Company lists its shares of Common Stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market.

We operate in a highly competitive environment. We compete with major and independent oil and natural gas companies, many of whom have financial and other resources substantially in excess of those available to us. These competitors may be better positioned to take advantage of industry opportunities and to withstand changes affecting the industry, such as fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices and production, the availability of alternative energy sources and the application of government regulation.

The availability of a ready market for future oil and gas production from possible U.S. assets depends upon numerous factors beyond our control. These factors may include, amongst others, regulation of oil and natural gas production, regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control, and the effects of regulation on the amount of oil and natural gas available for sale, the availability of adequate pipeline and other transportation and processing facilities and the marketing of competitive fuels. These regulations generally are intended to prevent waste of oil and natural gas and control contamination of the environment.

We expect that our sales of crude oil and other hydrocarbon liquids from our future U.S.-based production will not be regulated and will be made at market prices. However, the price we would receive from the sale of these products may be affected by the cost of transporting the products to market via pipeline.

Our U.S. assets are subject to numerous laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit before drilling commences, restrict the types, quantities and concentration of various substances that can be released into the environment in connection with drilling and production activities, limit or prohibit drilling activities on certain lands within wilderness, wetlands and other protected areas, require remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former operations, such as pit closure and plugging abandoned wells, and impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from production and drilling operations. Public interest in the protection of the environment has increased dramatically in recent years. The worldwide trend of more expansive and stricter environmental legislation and regulations applied to the oil and natural gas industry could continue, resulting in increased costs of doing business and consequently affecting profitability. To the extent laws are enacted or other governmental action is taken that restricts drilling or imposes more stringent and costly waste handling, disposal and cleanup requirements, our business and prospects could be adversely affected.

The oil and natural gas business involves a variety of operating hazards and risks such as well blowouts, craterings, pipe failures, casing collapse, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas or well fluids, fires, formations with abnormal pressures, pipeline ruptures or spills, pollution, releases of toxic gas and other environmental hazards and risks. These hazards and risks could result in substantial losses to us from, among other things, injury or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution or other environmental damage, clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties and suspension of operations. 

In accordance with customary industry practices, we expect to maintain insurance against some, but not all, of such risks and losses. There can be no assurance that any insurance we obtain would be adequate to cover any losses or liabilities. We cannot predict the continued availability of insurance or the availability of insurance at premium levels that justify its purchase. The occurrence of a significant event not fully insured or indemnified against could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and operations. 

Pollution and environmental risks generally are not fully insurable. The occurrence of an event not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our future financial condition. If we were unable to obtain adequate insurance, we could be forced to participate in all of our activities on a non-operated basis, which would limit our ability to control the risks associated with oil and natural gas operations.

Previously, we did not have any research and development policies in place. We formed Petro Spring, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, on December 12, 2013, to begin to focus on technology solutions related to the oil and gas industry.  During the year ended April 30, 2015, we purchased the Havelide and Coalthane Assets.  We are currently trying to determine a monetization strategy for these assets.

At April 30, 2017, we employed four full-time employees and no part-time employees. We also retained several consultants to provide both operational, investor relations and marketing support.

The principal market that we compete in is the North American and Western Europe. The Company is currently contemplating expansion into additional international energy markets.

You should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information set forth in this Report, in connection with any investment decision regarding shares of our Common Stock. Each of these risk factors could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our Common Stock. Some information in this Report may contain "forward-looking" statements that discuss future expectations of our financial condition and results of operation. The risk factors noted in this section and other factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Our results of operations as well as the carrying value of our oil and gas properties are substantially dependent upon the prices of oil and natural gas, which are currently depressed.  In the event lower prices for oil and natural gas continue for a prolonged period of time our results of operations could be adversely affected, and our ability to continue our planned development and acquisition activities could be substantially curtailed.

Currently, our costs to maintain our unproved properties include non-producing leasehold, geological and geophysical costs associated with leasehold or drilling interests and in process exploration drilling costs. In the future, our results of operations and the ceiling on the carrying value of our oil and gas properties will be dependent on the estimated present value of proved reserves, which depends on the prevailing prices for oil and gas, which are currently depressed. Various factors beyond our control affect prices of oil and natural gas, including political and economic conditions; worldwide and domestic supplies of and demand for oil and gas; weather conditions; the ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (" OPEC ") to agree on and maintain price and production controls; political instability or armed conflict in oil-producing regions; the price of foreign imports; the level of consumer demand; the price and availability of alternative fuels; and changes in existing federal and state regulations. In the event oil and gas prices do not rise from current levels, our operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected, and the level of development and exploration expenditures could be substantially curtailed.  These conditions could ultimately result in a reduction in the carrying value of our oil and gas properties. A continued decline in prices for oil and gas would also likely cause a reduction in the amount of any reserves and, in turn, in the amount that we might be able to borrow to fund development and acquisition activities.

We recently acquired certain assets unrelated to our traditional oil and gas properties.  The acquired technologies are in development stage, have not been proven, and require additional capital to develop.  We may not be able to successfully raise sufficient capital or otherwise successfully develop these technology assets.

We recently  purchased certain assets to produce gasoline-like liquid and high-purity hydrogen from natural gas, at low temperature and at low pressure, as well as to reduce the methane from coal mines and other wells.  The purchased assets, while consistent with the Company's business objective of acquiring leading edge technologies, are in the development stage, and require additional capital or a strategic partner in order to fully develop.  We are currently developing a strategy to monetize these assets through potential licensing, commercialization or an outright sale.  While management currently intends to seek financing or a development partner in order to fully develop the purchased assets, no assurances can be given that the Company will be able to successfully raise sufficient capital to develop the assets, or otherwise find a strategic or development partner to develop the same.  In addition, the purchased assets are in the development stage and are unproven, and no assurances can be given that we will be able to commercialize the assets.

We have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in continuing to grow our business, then we may have to scale back or even cease our ongoing business operations.

We have received a limited amount of revenues from operations and have limited assets. To date, we have acquired interests in oil and gas properties, but have only recently announced oil field discoveries with the potential to generate commerical revenues, although there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. We have a limited operating history. Our success is significantly dependent on a successful acquisition, drilling, completion and production program. Our operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. We may be unable to locate recoverable reserves or operate on a profitable basis. We are in the exploration stage and potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by enterprises in the exploration stage. If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their investment.

Because we are small and have a limited amount of capital, we may have to limit our exploration activity which may result in a loss of your investment.

Because we are small and our capital available for operations is limited, we must limit our exploration activity. As such we may not be able to complete an exploration program that is as thorough as we would like. In that event, existing reserves may go undiscovered. Without finding additional reserves, we cannot generate sufficient revenues and you will lose your investment.

We had cash and cash equivalents at April 30, 2017 and 2016 of $631,232 and $774,751, respectively. At April 30, 2017, we had working capital of approximately $25.5 million. Management believes that the current level of working capital is sufficient to maintain current operations for the next 12 months. To further develop the Company's assets, and take advantage of the current depressed market for oil and gas assets, management currently intends to raise additional capital through debt and equity instruments.

Exploratory drilling is a speculative activity that may not result in commercially productive reserves and may require expenditures in excess of budgeted amounts.

Drilling activities are subject to many risks, including the risk that no commercially productive oil or gas reservoirs will be encountered. There can be no assurance that new wells drilled by us or in which we have an interest will be productive or that we will recover all or any portion of our investment. Drilling for oil and gas may involve unprofitable efforts, not only from dry wells, but also from wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net revenues to return a profit after drilling, operating and other costs. The cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is often uncertain. Our drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including economic conditions, mechanical problems, pressure or irregularities in formations, title problems, weather conditions, compliance with governmental requirements and shortages in or delays in the delivery of equipment and services. Such equipment shortages and delays sometimes involve drilling rigs where inclement weather prohibits the movement of land rigs causing a high demand for rigs by a large number of companies during a relatively short period of time. Our future drilling activities may not be successful. Lack of drilling success could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our operations are also subject to all of the hazards and risks normally incident to the development, exploitation, production and transportation of, and the exploration for, oil and gas, including unusual or unexpected geologic formations, pressures, down hole fires, mechanical failures, blowouts, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids and pollution and other environmental risks. These hazards could result in substantial losses to us due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage and suspension of operations. Insurance for wells in which we participate is generally obtained, although there can be no assurances that such coverage will be sufficient to prevent a material adverse effect to us if any of the foregoing events occur.

We may not identify all risks associated with the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties, or existing wells, and any indemnifications we receive from sellers may be insufficient to protect us from such risks, which may result in unexpected liabilities and costs to us.

Our business strategy focuses on acquisitions of undeveloped and unproven oil and natural gas properties that we believe are capable of production. We may make additional acquisitions of undeveloped oil and gas properties from time to time, subject to available resources. Any future acquisitions will require an assessment of recoverable reserves, title, future oil and natural gas prices, operating costs, potential environmental hazards, potential tax and other liabilities and other factors.

Generally, it is not feasible for us to review in detail every individual property involved in a potential acquisition. In making acquisitions, we generally focus most of our title and valuation efforts on the properties that we believe to be more significant, or of higher-value. Even a detailed review of properties and records may not reveal all existing or potential problems, nor would it permit us to become sufficiently familiar with the properties to assess fully their deficiencies and capabilities. In addition, we do not inspect in detail every well that we acquire. Potential problems, such as deficiencies in the mechanical integrity of equipment or environmental conditions that may require significant remedial expenditures, are not necessarily observable even when we perform a detailed inspection. Any unidentified problems could result in material liabilities and costs that negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.

Even if we are able to identify problems with an acquisition, the seller may be unwilling or unable to provide effective contractual protection or indemnity against all or part of these problems. Even if a seller agrees to provide indemnity, the indemnity may not be fully enforceable or may be limited by floors and caps, and the financial wherewithal of such seller may significantly limit our ability to recover our costs and expenses. Any limitation on our ability to recover the costs related any potential problem could materially impact our financial condition and results of operations.

We are and will continue to be subject to various operating and other casualty risks that could result in liability exposure or the loss of production and revenues.

Our oil and gas business involves (or will involve as operations activities increase) a variety of operating risks, including, but not limited to, unexpected formations or pressures, uncontrollable flows of oil, gas, brine or well fluids into the environment (including groundwater contamination), blowouts, fires, explosions, pollution and other risks, any of which could result in personal injuries, loss of life, damage to properties and substantial losses. Although we carry insurance at levels that we believe are reasonable, we are not fully insured against all risks. We do not carry business interruption insurance. Losses and liabilities arising from uninsured or under-insured events could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations.

The cost of operating wells is often uncertain. Our drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of numerous factors, including title problems, weather conditions, compliance with governmental requirements and shortages or delays in the delivery of equipment. Furthermore, completion of a well does not assure a profit on the investment or a recovery of drilling, completion and operating costs.

We face significant competition, and many of our competitors have resources in excess of our available resources.

The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. We encounter competition from other oil and gas companies in all areas of our operations, including the acquisition of producing properties and exploratory prospects and sale of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. Our competitors include major integrated oil and gas companies and numerous independent oil and gas companies, individuals and drilling and income programs. Many of our competitors are large, well established companies with substantially larger operating staffs and greater capital resources than us. Such companies may be able to pay more for productive oil and gas properties and exploratory prospects and to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or human resources permit. Our ability to acquire additional properties and to discover reserves in the future will depend upon our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in this highly competitive environment.

Strategic relationships upon which we may rely are subject to change, which may diminish our ability to conduct our operations.

Our ability to successfully acquire additional properties, to discover and develop reserves, to participate in drilling opportunities and to identify and enter into commercial arrangements with customers will depend on developing and maintaining close working relationships with industry participants and on our ability to select and evaluate suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment. These realities are subject to change and may impair our ability to grow.

To develop our business, we will endeavor to use the business relationships of our management to enter into strategic relationships, which may take the form of joint ventures with other private parties and contractual arrangements with other oil and gas companies, including those that supply equipment and other resources that we will use in our business. We may not be able to establish these strategic relationships, or if established, we may not be able to maintain them. In addition, the dynamics of our relationships with strategic partners may require us to incur expenses or undertake activities we would not otherwise be inclined to in order to fulfill our obligations to these partners or maintain our relationships. If our strategic relationships are not established or maintained, our business prospects may be limited, which could diminish our ability to conduct our operations.

We may not have satisfactory title or rights to all of our current or future properties.

Prior to acquiring undeveloped properties, our contract land professionals review title records or other title review materials relating to substantially all of such properties. The title investigation performed by us prior to acquiring undeveloped properties is thorough, but less rigorous than that conducted prior to drilling, consistent with industry standards. Prior to drilling we obtain a title opinion on the drill site. However, a title opinion does not necessarily ensure satisfactory title. We believe we have satisfactory title to our producing properties in accordance with standards generally accepted in the oil and gas industry. Our properties are subject to customary royalty interests, liens incident to operating agreements, liens for current taxes and other burdens, which we believe do not materially interfere with the use of or affect the value of such properties. In the normal course of our business, title defects and lease issues of varying degrees arise, and, if practicable, reasonable efforts are made to cure such defects and issues.

We may be responsible for additional costs in connection with abandonment of properties.

We are responsible for payment of plugging and abandonment costs on our oil and gas properties pro rata to our working interest. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in avoiding additional expenses in connection with the abandonment of any of our properties. In addition, abandonment costs and their timing may change due to many factors, including actual production results, inflation rates and changes in environmental laws and regulations.

Governmental regulations could adversely affect our business.

Our business is subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations on taxation, the exploration for, and development, production and marketing of, oil and natural gas, and environmental and safety matters. Many laws and regulations require drilling permits and govern the spacing of wells, rates of production, prevention of waste and other matters. These laws and regulations have increased the costs of our operations. In addition, these laws and regulations, and any others that are passed by the jurisdictions where we have production, could limit the total number of wells drilled or the allowable production from successful wells, which could limit our revenues.

Laws and regulations relating to our business frequently change, and future laws and regulations, including changes to existing laws and regulations, could adversely affect our business.

In particular and without limiting the foregoing, various tax proposals currently under consideration could result in an increase and acceleration of the payment of federal income taxes assessed against independent oil and natural gas producers, for example by eliminating the ability to expense intangible drilling costs, removing the percentage depletion allowance and increasing the amortization period for geological and geophysical expenses. Any of these changes would increase our tax burden.

All states in which the Company owns leases require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and reports concerning operations and impose other requirements relating to the exploration for and production of oil and gas. Such states also have statutes or regulations addressing conservation matters, including provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties, the establishment of maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging and abandonment of such wells. The statutes and regulations of these states limit the rate at which oil and gas can be produced from our properties. However, we do not believe we will be affected materially differently by these statutes and regulations than any other similarly situated oil and gas company.

Environmental liabilities could adversely affect our business.

In the event of a release of oil, natural gas or other pollutants from our operations into the environment, we could incur liability for any and all consequences of such release, including personal injuries, property damage, cleanup costs and governmental fines. We could potentially discharge these materials into the environment in several ways, including:

In addition, because we may acquire interests in properties that have been operated in the past by others, we may be liable for environmental damage, including historical contamination, caused by such former operators. Additional liabilities could also arise from continuing violations or contamination that we have not yet discovered relating to the acquired properties or any of our other properties.

To the extent we incur any environmental liabilities, it could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.

Climate change legislation, regulation and litigation could materially adversely affect us.

There is an increased focus by local, state and national regulatory bodies on greenhouse gas (" GHG ") emissions and climate change. Various regulatory bodies have announced their intent to regulate GHG emissions, including the United States Environmental Protection Agency, which promulgated several GHG regulations in 2010 and late 2009. As these regulations are under development or are being challenged in the courts, we are unable to predict the total impact of these potential regulations upon our business, and it is possible that we could face increases in operating costs in order to comply with GHG emission legislation.

Passage of legislation or regulations that regulate or restrict emissions of GHG, or GHG-related litigation instituted against us, could result in direct costs to us and could also result in changes to the consumption and demand for natural gas and carbon dioxide produced from our oil and natural gas properties, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and prospects.

We will require additional capital to execute our business plan.  If we are unable to obtain funding, our business operations will be harmed.

We will require additional capital to execute our business plan, further expand our exploration and continue with our development programs.  We may be unable to obtain additional capital required. Furthermore, inability to maintain capital may damage our reputation and credibility with industry participants. Our inability to raise additional funds when required will have a negative impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. 

Future acquisitions and future exploration, development, production, leasing activities and marketing activities, as well as our administrative requirements (such as salaries, insurance expenses and general overhead expenses, as well as legal compliance costs and accounting expenses) will require a substantial amount of additional capital and cash flow. 

We may pursue sources of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements, including joint venturing of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means. We may not be successful in raising the capital needed and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means. This will adversely affect our consolidated financial results and financial condition.

We have a history of losses, which may continue, which may negatively impact our ability to achieve our business objectives.

We generated minimal total revenues of $26,603 and $87,939 for the years ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, the result of oil and gas sales, we incurred a net loss of $2,583,339 and $11,989,758 for the years ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. To date, we have acquired interests in oil and gas properties, but have only recently announced oil field discoveries with the potential to generate commercial revenues, although no assurances can be given that we will achieve or operate profitably. Our operations are subject to the risks and competition inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise. There can be no assurance that future operations will be profitable. Revenues and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors, including whether we will be able to continue expansion of our revenue. We may not achieve our business objectives and the failure to achieve such goals would have an adverse impact on us.

As our Larne Basin, Kern County and Oklahoma properties are in early stages of development, we may not be able to establish commercial reserves on these projects, and/or such projects may not result in sufficient reserves to fund future operations and/or development activities. Exploration for commercial reserves of oil is subject to a number of risk factors. Few of the properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing oil and/or gas fields. Since we may not be able to establish commercial reserves, we are therefore considered to be an exploration stage company.

Our results of operations as well as the carrying value of our oil and gas properties are substantially dependent upon the prices of oil and natural gas, which historically have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile.

Our future financial condition, access to capital, cash flows and results of operations depend upon the prices we receive for our oil and natural gas. Historically, oil and natural gas prices have been volatile and are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply and demand, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. Factors that affect the prices we receive for our oil and natural gas include:

Any prolonged decline in oil or gas prices could have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition, and level of development and exploration expenditures and could result in a reduction in the carrying value of our oil and gas properties.

In the event of a Redetermination of the value of the Bandolier Interest contributed to MegaWest, the Company may be required to fund any shortfall in such valuation, which the Company may not be able to fund.  Failure to fund the shortfall will result in a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and results from operations.

Consummation of the MegaWest Transaction resulted in a substantial increase in our assets and total revenue during the year ended April 30, 2016.  However, substantially all of these amounts are held by MegaWest and controlled by the board of directors of MegaWest, which consists of two members appointed by Fortis, and one by the Company.  The relative composition of the board of directors of MegaWest shall continue as long as Fortis has an equity interest in MegaWest.  In the event there is a shortfall from the valuation ascribed to the Bandolier Interest at the time of the Redetermination, as compared to the value ascribed to the Bandolier Interest in the Contribution Agreement, the Company will be required to provide Fortis with a cash payment in an amount equal to the shortfall, and any unfunded shortfall could result in the foreclosure on the Company's entire equity interest in MegaWest, which equity interest has been pledged to Fortis.  No assurances can be given that the value of the Bandolier Interest will equal the valuation set forth in the Contribution Agreement, or if the value identified after the Redetermination is below the initial valuation, that we will be able to fund such shortfall. In the event the evaluation of the drilling prospects results in a Redetermination, the Company not be able to recover its notes receivable, interest in real estate rights, accounts receivable – related party, and any accrued interest. Our ability to recover such assets, or any requirement to fund a shortfall, will have a material and adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

In the event of a Redetermination results in a foreclosure of any portion of our equity interest in MegaWest, our control of MegaWest may terminate. As a result, our financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

In the event of a foreclosure of our equity interest in MegaWest resulting in such equity interest decreasing to less than a controlling interest in MegaWest, the assets conveyed to MegaWest under the terms of the Contribution Agreement may no longer be consolidated with the Company's assets on the Company's financial statements, and the Bandolier Interest may revert back to the Company.  As a result, our financial condition and results from operations may be adversely affected, and such affect will be material.

The liquidity, market price and volume of our stock are volatile.

Our Common Stock is not traded on any exchange, but is currently quoted on the OTC Pink Marketplace (" OTC Pink "). The liquidity of our Common Stock may be adversely affected, and purchasers of our Common Stock may have difficulty selling our Common Stock, particularly if our Common Stock does not continue to be quoted on the OTC Pink on another recognized quotation services or exchange.

The trading price of our Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarter-to-quarter variations in our operating results, announcements of our drilling results and other events or factors. In addition, the U.S. stock markets have from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market price for many companies and which often have been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our securities.

Our stock is categorized as a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's penny stock regulations, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

Our stock is categorized as a "penny stock." The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our Common Stock.

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (" FINRA ") has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

We have never paid dividends on our capital stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We have paid no cash dividends on any of our classes of capital stock to date and currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our Common Stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future. Any payment of cash dividends will depend upon our financial condition, contractual restrictions, financing agreement covenants, solvency tests imposed by corporate law, results of operations, anticipated cash requirements and other factors and will be at the discretion of our board of directors. Furthermore, we may incur indebtedness that may severely restrict or prohibit the payment of dividends. 

None.

Larne Basin

On January 19, 2016, Petro River UK Limited, (" Petro UK "), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Farmout Agreement to acquire a 9% interest in Petroleum License PL 1/10 and P2123 (the " Larne Licenses ") located in the Larne Basin in Northern Ireland (the " Larne Transaction ").  The two Larne Licenses, one onshore and one offshore, together encompass approximately 130,000 acres covering the large majority of the prospective Larne Basin.  The other parties to the Farmout Agreement are Southwestern Resources Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Horizon Energy, which acquired a 16% interest, and Brigantes Energy Limited, which retained a 10% interest.  Third parties own the remaining 65% interest.

Under the terms of the Farmout Agreement, Petro UK deposited approximately $735,000 into an escrow agreement (" Escrow Agreement "), which amount represented Petro UK's obligation to fund the total projected cost to drill the first well under the terms of the Farmout Agreement. The total deposited amount to fund the cost to drill the first well was approximately $6,159,452, based on an exchange rate of one British Pound for 1.44 U.S. Dollars. Petro UK was and continues to be responsible for its pro-rata costs of additional wells drilled under the Farmout Agreement.

Drilling of the first well was completed in June 2016. The primary objectives of the well were to (i) confirm the existence and maturity of the carboniferous source rock and (ii) test potential hydrocarbon-bearing objective zones. Unexpectedly, the overlying Permian section thickened considerably and at 2,000 meters, and several participants owning 55% of the working interest in the well (including Horizon Energy) expressed interest in deepening the well an additional 600 meters.  However, participants representing the other 45% of the interest were unwilling to fund their share of the additional costs, and without unanimity determined that continued drilling was impractical. The well has been plugged and the drilling rig has been demobilized from the location.  The drilling detected background gas shows in the drilling fluid, and samples were sent to Applied Petroleum Technology, (" APT ") an internationally recognized independent geochemical laboratory in Oslo, Norway. APT determined that the gas originated from a carboniferous source, providing evidence of nearby source rock and an active petroleum system. The samples were strikingly similar to a gas sample from a producing gas field in in Lancashire, England, just across the North Channel.

Historically, large basinal discoveries are found and developed only after thorough analysis of technical data derived from both seismic acquisition and drilling of wells. Management believes that Larne Basin continues to be a very attractive exploration opportunity based on technical merit, modest exploration costs, low political risk and excellent fiscal terms. The Company is continuing the exploration program by relocating to offshore targets and reprocessing seismic data.

Management believes that the Larne Basin continues to be very attractive exploration opportunity based on technical merit, modest exploration costs, low political risk and excellent fiscal terms. The Company intends to conduct further exploration and appraisal by reprocessing existing seismic data, and if merited, additional new seismic "shoots," re-locating drill targets to more favorable locations offshore, and evaluating farmout opportunities.

Kern County

On March 4, 2016, the Company executed an Asset Purchase and Sale and Exploration Agreement (the " Agreement ") to acquire a 13.75% working interest in certain oil and gas leases in 5,000 gross acres located in southern Kern County, California (the " Project "). Horizon Energy also purchased a 27.5% working interest in the Project.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company paid $108,333 to the sellers on the closing date, and is obligated to pay certain other costs and expenses after the Closing Date related to existing and new leases as more particularly set forth in the Agreement. In addition, the sellers are entitled to an overriding royalty interest in certain existing and new leases acquired after the Closing Date, and the Company is required to make c ertain other payments, each in amounts set forth in the Agreement.

On July 18, 2017, the Company announced a new oil field discovery in its Sunset Boulevard prospect in Kern County, California upon successfully drilling the Cattani-Rennie 47X-15 exploration well (" CR 47X "). The CR 47X was drilled to a depth of approximately 8,500 feet and confirmed at least two commercially successful pay zones.   The discovery is currently being evaluated but initial results indicate significant reserve potential.  Following completion and production tests, the Company will announce development plans.  Several additional prospect wells are now being planned to be drilled in Kern County. 

Oklahoma

On May 30, 2014, the Company, entered into a Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which the Company purchased a 50% interest in Bandolier. Bandolier's oil and gas assets are located in in Osage County, Oklahoma and comprise a significant contiguous oil and gas acreage position in Northeastern Oklahoma, approximately 106,000 acres, with substantial original oil in place, stacked reservoirs, as well as exploratory and development opportunities that can be accessed through both horizontal and vertical drilling. Significant infrastructure is already in place including 32 square miles of 3-D seismic, 3 phase power, a dedicated sub-station as well as multiple oil producing horizontal wells. As a result of this transaction, the Company capitalized $2,460,632 in proved developed oil and gas assets and $5,921,641 in proven undeveloped oil and gas assets. During the year ended April 30, 2016, Bandolier purchased additional oil and gas assets totaling $102,864.  Management performed a ceiling test as of April 30, 2016, and recognized an impairment of $5,951,622 on the Oklahoma property.

On May 8, 2017, the Company announced a new oil field discovery in its 106,500-acre concession in Osage County, Oklahoma upon successfully drilling the Chat 2-11 exploration well. The Chat 2-11 was drilled to a depth of 2,800 feet into the Mississippian Chat. Initial results indicated up to 20 feet of oil productive formation. Following flow and fracking tests, the Company plans to confirm IP rates.

On May 30, 2017, the Company announced a second new oil field discovery in its 106,500-acre concession in Osage County, Oklahoma upon successfully drilling the Red Fork 1-3 exploration well. The Red Fork 1-3 was drilled to a depth of 2,800 feet into the Mississippian Chat. Initial results indicated up to 30 feet of oil productive formation. Following flow and fracking tests, the Company plans to confirm IP rates. These structures were identified utilizing 3D seismic technology, indicating a potential of up to 2.5 million barrels of oil.

The Company has plans to drill an additional six wells on its Osage County, Oklahoma concessions during 2017.

The Osage County drilling program is the result of a Joint Exploration and Development Agreement (the " Exploration Agreement "), dated August 19, 2016, between Spyglass Energy Group, LLC (" Spyglass "), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bandolier Energy, LLC (" Bandolier "), Phoenix 2016, LLC (" Phoenix ") and Mackey Consulting & Leasing, LLC (" Mackey "). Pursuant to the Exploration Agreement, Phoenix and Mackey operates and provides certain services, including obtaining permits and providing technical services, at cost, in connection with a Phase I Development Program as agreed to by the parties (the " Phase I Program ").  Phoenix and Mackey shall earn a 25% working interest on all wells drilled in the Phase I Program.  Following success and completion of the Phase I Program, Phoenix and Mackey shall earn a 25% working interest in the Osage County, Oklahoma Concession held by Spyglass. Under the Exploration Agreement, Bandolier has agreed commit up to $2.1 million towards costs of the Phase I Program, at their sole discretion.

In connection with the $2.0 million secured note financing consummated on June 13, 2017, the Company issued an overriding royalty interest equal to 2% in all production from the Company's interest in the Company's concessions located in Osage County, Oklahoma.

Horizon Energy

Horizon Acquisition . On May 3, 2016 (the " Closing Date "), the Company consummated the acquisition of Horizon Investments.  As a result of the acquisition, the Company acquired: (i) a 20% membership interest in Horizon Energy; (ii) three promissory notes issued by the Company to Horizon Investments in the principal amount of $1.6 million (the " Horizon Notes "); (iii) approximately $690,000 (the " Closing Proceeds "); and (iv) certain bank, investment and other accounts maintained by Horizon Investments, in an amount which, together with the amount issued under the Horizon Notes and the Closing Proceeds, total approximately $5.0 million (collectively, the " Purchased Assets ") (the " Horizon Acquisition "). The Horizon Acquisition was completed in accordance with the term and conditions of the Conditional Purchase Agreement first entered into by the Company and Horizon Investments on December 1, 2015 (the " Purchase Agreement "). Also on the Closing Date, the Company and Horizon Investments entered into an amended and restated Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide for additional advances by Horizon Investments to the Company.

As consideration for the Horizon Acquisition, and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, as amended, the Company issued 11,564,249 shares of its Common Stock on the Closing Date, which amount included 1,395,916 additional shares of Common Stock in consideration for the additional cash, receivables and other assets reflected on Horizon Investment's balance sheet on the Closing Date.

Horizon Energy is an oil and gas exploration and development company owned and managed by former senior oil and gas executives with access to a broad network of industry insiders.  It has a portfolio of domestic and international assets, including two assets located in the United Kingdom, adjacent to the giant Wytch Farm oil field, the largest onshore oil field in Western Europe.  Other projects include the proposed redevelopment of a large oil field in Kern County, California and the development of an additional recent discovery in Kern County. Each of the assets in the Horizon Energy portfolio is characterized by low initial capital expenditure requirements and strong risk reward characteristics.

The following table summarizes the costs incurred in oil and gas property acquisition, exploration, and development activities for the Company for the years ended April 30, 2017 and 2016:

(1) Other property consists primarily of four used steam generators and related equipment that will be assigned to future projects. As of April 30, 2017 and 2016, management concluded that impairment was not necessary as all other assets were carried at salvage value.

The above table excludes Larne Basin and Kern County assets of $761,444 which were not in operations as of April 30, 2017.

For the year ended April 30, 2017, the Company performed a ceiling test and recognized an impairment charge of $20,942 on the Oklahoma assets. For the year ended April 30, 2016, the Company performed a ceiling test and recognized impairment charges of $5,951,622 and $918,991 on the Oklahoma and Missouri assets, respectively.

The following table sets forth the number of oil wells in which we held a working interest as of April 30, 2017 and 2016:

The following table sets forth the lease areas we have an interest in, by area, as of April 30, 2017 and 2016:

Oil and natural gas information is provided in accordance with ASC Topic 932 - "Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas".

The Company has approximately $2.0 million and $2.1 million in proven oil and gas reserves as of April 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the year ended April 30, 2017 the reports by Pinnacle Energy Services, LLC (" Pinnacle ") covered 100% of the Company's oil reserves.

Proved oil and natural gas reserves, as defined within SEC Rule 4-10(a)(22) of Regulation S-X, are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations prior to the time of which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether determinable or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time. Developed oil and natural gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to be recovered from existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate is the extraction is by means not involving a well. Estimates of the Company's oil reserves are subject to uncertainty and will change as additional information regarding producing fields and technology becomes available and as future economic and operating conditions change.

Our undeveloped acreage includes leased acres on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of oil and natural gas, regardless of whether or not such acreage is held by production or contains proved reserves. A gross acre is an acre in which we own an interest. A net acre is deemed to exist when the sum of fractional ownership interests in gross acres equals one. The number of net acres is the sum of the fractional interests owned in gross acres.

The following table presents certain information with respect to our oil and natural gas production and prices and costs attributable to all oil and natural gas properties owned by us for the periods shown.

Northern Ireland – Larne Basin . We completed drilling the Woodburn Forest #1 well in June 2016.  The primary objectives of the well were to (i) confirm the existence and maturity of the carboniferous source rock and (ii) test potential hydrocarbon-bearing objective zones. Unexpectedly, the overlying Permian section thickened considerably at 2,000 meters, and several participants owning 55% of the working interest in the well (including Horizon Energy) expressed interest in deepening the well an additional 600 meters.  However, participants representing the other 45% of the interest were unwilling to fund their share of the additional costs, and without unanimity determined that continued drilling was impractical. The well has been plugged and the drilling rig has been demobilized from the location.

The drilling detected background gas shows in the drilling fluid, and samples were sent to Applied Petroleum Technology, (" APT ") an internationally recognized independent geochemical laboratory in Oslo, Norway. APT determined that the gas originated from a carboniferous source, providing evidence of nearby source rock and an active petroleum system. The samples were strikingly similar to a gas sample from a producing gas field in in Lancashire, England, just across the North Channel.

Historically, large basinal discoveries are found and developed only after thorough analysis of technical data derived from both seismic acquisition and drilling of wells. Management believes that Larne Basin continues to be a very attractive exploration opportunity based on technical merit, modest exploration costs, low political risk and excellent fiscal terms. The Company is continuing the exploration program by relocating to offshore targets and reprocessing seismic data.

Pearsonia West – Osage County, Oklahoma . The Company is pursuing its core strategy in this well-known basin, drilling vertical wells in relatively shallow conventional legacy reservoirs using modern 3-D seismic surveys. The Company has acquired approximately 106,000 acres in Osage County in an area that was the focus of a deeper horizontal play and is reprocessing 36 square miles of 3-D seismic data to refocus on a shallow (3,000 to 4,000 ft.) vertical program. The Company is targeting the Mississippian-aged Chert formation and Pennsylvanian-aged formations. Management projects estimated ultimate recovery at 50,000 barrels of oil per well. Pearsonia West is a low-cost conventional project surrounded by 800 million barrels of historical production. The Company plans to drill six vertical wells this year at a cost of $250,000 per well. The Company has drilled three wells as of July 5, 2017.

Kern County, California . The Kern County project, the re-development of a 100-million-barrel oil field, is currently progressing, beginning with the spudding of the Company's Sunset Boulevard prospect in Kern County, California. On July 18, 2017, the Company announced a new oil field discovery in its Sunset Boulevard prospect upon successfully drilling the Cattani-Rennie 47X-15 exploration well (" CR 47X "). The CR 47X was drilled to a depth of approximately 8,500 feet and confirmed at least two commercially successful pay zones.   The discovery is currently being evaluated but initial results indicate significant reserve potential.  Following completion and production tests, the Company will announce development plans.  Several additional prospect wells are now being planned to be drilled in Kern County.

Horizon Energy Projects

Denmark Offshore. The Denmark project is a prospective, underexplored oil basin on trend with the major oil and gas fields offshore in Norway and the United Kingdom. We are currently evaluating the four licenses awarded earlier this year to Ardent Oil Denmark ("Ardent") (Horizon Energy owns 50% of Ardent). We are in final stages of interpreting the high-quality 3-D seismic survey we acquired last year.  Ardent will thereafter commence marketing efforts to farm-out the prospect to a major oil company.  The potential reserve target is in the range of 200,000,000 barrels of oil. The other three licenses are being high-graded and are in various stages of evaluation.  The goal is to advance them technically to a point at which we can solicit a larger company to either acquire new 3-D data and/or drill an exploration well on each. 

Dorset, U.K. Onshore . The Dorset project is south of and adjacent to the giant Wytch Farm oil field, the largest onshore oil field in Western Europe, which has produced approximately 500 million barrels of oil and 175 billion cubic feet of natural gas since production first began in 1979. Horizon Energy was recently awarded two onshore blocks. Seven wells were previously drilled within the license area, including the first UK offshore well in 1963 on Lulworth Banks. Six of these wells encountered oil or gas shows and three flowed oil or gas on test. A new 3-D seismic survey is planned in 2017 over new blocks to more clearly image prospects/leads identified on older 2-D data.

(a) In January 2010, the Company experienced a flood in its Calgary office premises as a result of a broken water pipe. There was significant damage to the premises rendering them unusable until the landlord had completed remediation. Pursuant to the lease contract, the Company asserted that rent should be abated during the remediation process and accordingly, the Company did not pay any rent after December 2009. During the remediation process, the Company engaged an independent environmental testing company to test for air quality and for the existence of other potentially hazardous conditions. The testing revealed the existence of potentially hazardous mold and the consultant provided specific written instructions for the effective remediation of the premises. During the remediation process, the landlord did not follow the consultant's instructions and correct the potentially hazardous mold situation and subsequently in June 2010 gave notice and declared the premises to be ready for occupancy. The Company re-engaged the consultant to re-test the premises and the testing results again revealed the presence of potentially hazardous mold. The Company determined that the premises were not fit for re-occupancy and considered the landlord to be in default of the lease. The Landlord subsequently terminated the lease.

On January 30, 2014, the landlord filed a Statement of Claim against the Company for rental arrears in the amount aggregating CAD $759,000 (approximately USD $605,000 as of July 24, 2017). The Company filed a defense and on October 20, 2014, it filed a summary judgment application stating that the landlord's claim is barred as it was commenced outside the 2-year statute of limitation period under the Alberta Limitations Act. The landlord subsequently filed a cross-application to amend its Statement of Claim to add a claim for loss of prospective rent in an amount of CAD $665,000 (approximately USD $530,000 as of July 24, 2017). The applications were heard on June 25, 2015  and the court allowed both the Company's summary judgment application and the landlord's amendment application.  Both of these orders were appealed though two levels of the Alberta courts and the appeals were dismissed at both levels. The net effect is that the landlord's claim for loss of prospective rent is to proceed. As of July 5, 2017, no new development has occurred since the appeals court ruling.

(b) In September 2013, the Company was notified by the Railroad Commission of Texas (the " Commission ") that the Company was not in compliance with regulations promulgated by the Commission. The Company was therefore deemed to have lost its corporate privileges within the State of Texas and as a result, all wells within the state would have to be plugged. The Commission therefore collected $25,000 from the Company, which was originally deposited with the Commission, to cover a portion of the estimated costs of $88,960 to plug the wells. In addition to the above, the Commission also reserved its right to separately seek any remedies against the Company resulting from its noncompliance.

(c) On August 11, 2014, Martha Donelson and John Friend amended their complaint in an existing lawsuit by filing a class action complaint styled:  Martha Donelson and John Friend, et al. v. United States of America, Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs and Devon Energy Production, LP, et al.,  Case No. 14-CV-316-JHP-TLW, United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma (the " Proceeding ").  The plaintiffs added as defendants twenty-seven specifically named operators, including Spyglass, a wholly owned Subsidiary of Bandolier Energy, LLC, as well as all Osage County lessees and operators who have obtained a concession agreement, lease or drilling permit approved by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (" BIA ") in Osage County allegedly in violation of National Environmental Policy Act (" NEPA ").  Plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment that the BIA improperly approved oil and gas leases, concession agreements and drilling permits prior to August 12, 2014, without satisfying the BIA's obligations under federal regulations or NEPA, and seek a determination that such oil and gas leases, concession agreements and drilling permits are void  ab initio .  Plaintiffs are seeking damages against the defendants for alleged nuisance, trespass, negligence and unjust enrichment.  The potential consequences of such complaint could jeopardize the corresponding leases.

On October 7, 2014, Spyglass, along with other defendants, filed a Motion to Dismiss the August 11, 2014 Amended Complaint on various procedural and legal grounds. Following the significant briefing, the Court, on March 31, 2016, granted the Motion to Dismiss as to all defendants and entered a judgment in favor of the defendants against the plaintiffs. On April 14, 2016, Spyglass with the other defendants, filed a Motion seeking its attorneys' fees and costs. Said motion remains pending. On April 28, 2016, the plaintiffs filed three motions: a Motion to Amend or Alter the Judgment; a Motion to Amend the Complaint; and a Motion to Vacate Order. On November 23, 2016, the Court denied all three of Plaintiffs' motions.  On December 6, 2016, Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals.  That appeal is pending as of the effective date of this response. There is no specific timeline by which the Court of Appeals must render a ruling. Spyglass intends to continue to vigorously defend its interest in this matter. 

(d) MegaWest Energy Missouri Corp. (" MegaWest Missouri "), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was previously involved in two cases related to oil leases in West Central, Missouri. The first case (James Long and Jodeane Long v. MegaWest Energy Missouri and Petro River Oil Corp., case number 13B4- CV00019) was a case for unlawful detainer, pursuant to which the plaintiffs contended that a MegaWest Missouri oil and gas lease had expired and MegaWest Missouri was unlawfully possessing the plaintiffs' real property by asserting that the leases remained in effect. MegaWest Missouri filed a second case on October 14, 2014 (MegaWest Energy Missouri Corp. v. James Long, Jodeane Long, and Arrow Mines LLC, case number 14VE-CV00599). This case was pending in Vernon County, Missouri. Although the two cases were separate, they were interrelated. In the Vernon County case, MegaWest Missouri made claims for: (1) replevin for personal property; (2) conversion of personal property; (3) breach of the covenant of quiet enjoyment regarding the lease; (4) constructive eviction of the lease; (5) breach of fiduciary obligation against James Long; (6) declaratory judgment that the oil and gas lease did not terminate; and (7) injunctive relief to enjoin the action pending in Barton County, Missouri. On September 21, 2015, the parties entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement for both cases. The parties agreed to release their claims and dismiss their lawsuits with prejudice. MegaWest Missouri released its claims to certain leases and the plaintiff purchased certain personal property from MegaWest Missouri. The matters have been completely resolved, and the cases dismissed.

The Company is from time to time involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. It does not believe that any of these claims and proceedings against it is likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

The Company is an independent energy company focused on the exploration and development of conventional oil and gas assets with low discovery and development costs. The Company is currently focused on moving forward with drilling wells on several of its properties owned directly and indirectly through its interest in Horizon Energy Partners, LLC (" Horizon Energy "), as well as taking advantage of the relative depressed market in oil prices to enter highly prospective plays with Horizon Energy and other industry-leading partners. Diversification over a number of projects, each with low initial capital expenditures and strong risk reward characteristics, reduces risk and provides cross-functional exposure to a number of attractive risk adjusted opportunities.

The Company's core holdings are in the Mid-Continent Region in Oklahoma and in Kern County, California.  Following the acquisition of Horizon I Investments, LLC (" Horizon Investments "), the Company now has exposure to a portfolio of several domestic and international oil and gas assets consisting of highly prospective conventional plays diversified across project type, geographic location and risk profile, as well as access to a broad network of industry leaders from Horizon Investment's 20% interest in Horizon Energy.  Horizon Energy is an oil and gas exploration and development company owned and managed by former senior oil and gas executives.  It has a portfolio of domestic and international assets, including two assets located in the United Kingdom, adjacent to the giant Wytch Farm oil field, the largest onshore oil field in Western Europe.  Other projects include the proposed redevelopment of a large oil field in Kern County, California and the development of an additional recent discovery in Kern County.  Each of the assets in the Horizon Energy portfolio is characterized by low initial capital expenditure requirements and strong risk reward characteristics.

The execution of our business plan is dependent on obtaining necessary working capital.  While no assurances can be given, in the event management is able to obtain additional working capital, we plan to acquire high-quality oil and gas properties, primarily proved producing and proved undeveloped reserves. We also intend to explore low-risk development drilling and work-over opportunities.   Management is also exploring farm in and joint venture opportunities for our oil and gas assets.  

Our primary objective is to enhance shareholder value by increasing our net asset value, net reserves and cash flow through development, exploitation, exploration, and acquisition of oil and gas properties.

We intend to follow a balanced risk strategy by allocating capital expenditures to a combination of lower risk development and high potential exploration prospects. Key elements of our business strategy include the following:

Develop and exploit our existing oil and natural gas properties . Our principal growth strategy has been to explore, develop and exploit our acquired and leased properties to add proven reserves.

Pursue selective acquisitions . The Company has acquired leasehold positions that it believes contain substantial resource potential and meet its targeted returns on invested capital. Management intends to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions that meet the Company's operational and financial targets. We seek to acquire developed and undeveloped oil and gas properties that will provide us with additional development and exploratory prospect opportunities. We may also acquire a working interest in one or more prospects from others and participate with the other working interest owners in drilling and, if warranted, completing oil or gas wells on a prospect. We may purchase producing oil or gas properties.

Use the latest 3-D seismic technology to maximize returns . Technical advances in imaging and modeling can lower risk and enhance productivity. The Company intends to utilize 3-D seismic and other technological advancements that benefit its exploratory and developmental drilling program.

Limit our current exploration and acquisition activities to conventional oil plays with a projected breakeven price of $30 per barrel or less.   We intend to focus our resources on more easily recoverable conventional reserves.

During the current downturn, obtain price concessions from third party vendors , specifically those involved in our drilling and completion activities and day-to-day well maintenance.

The Company is currently engaged in oil and natural gas acquisition, exploration, development and production, with activities in Oklahoma and California in the United States, and Northern Ireland, Denmark and the U.K in Western Europe. We focus on developing our existing properties, while continuing to pursue acquisitions of oil and gas properties with upside potential.

The Company intends to grow its resources and production through exploration activities and development of identified potential drilling locations, and through acquisitions that meet the Company's strategic and financial objectives. Our plan includes:

Leveraging our management experience . The Company's executive team, along with Horizon Energy, the Company's operating partner, has extensive and proven experience in the oil and gas industry. We believe that the experience of our executive team will help reduce the time and cost associated with drilling and completing our conventional assets and potentially increasing recovery. Collectively, our management team and engineering professionals identify and evaluate acquisition opportunities, negotiate and close purchases and manage acquired properties.

Leveraging our established business relationships . Our executive team, along with Horizon Energy, has many relationships with operators and service providers in our core asset regions. We believe that leveraging our relationships will be a competitive advantage in developing our acreage and identifying acquisition targets.

De-risking our acreage position and build a vertical drilling program . The Company has identified a multi-year inventory of potential drilling locations that will drive reserves and production growth and provide attractive return opportunities. The Company views its Osage, Kern County and Grapevine projects as de-risked because of the significant production history in the area and well-established industry activity surrounding the acreage.

Partnership with Horizon Energy . Following the acquisition of Horizon Investments, LLC (" Horizon Investments "), the Company has an indirect interest, through Horizon Investment's 20% ownership in Horizon Energy, in a portfolio of several domestic and international oil and gas assets consisting of highly prospective conventional plays diversified across project type, geographic location and risk profile, as well as access to a broad network of industry leaders.

Horizon Energy is an oil and gas exploration and development company owned and managed by former senior oil and gas executives.  It has a portfolio of domestic and international assets, including two assets located in the United Kingdom, adjacent to the giant Wytch Farm oil field, the largest onshore oil field in Western Europe.  Other projects include the proposed redevelopment of a large oil field in Kern County, California and the development of an additional recent discovery in Kern County.  Each of the assets in the Horizon Energy portfolio is characterized by low initial capital expenditure requirements and strong risk reward characteristics.

Financial flexibility . Our capital structure and high degree of operational control continues to provide us with significant financial flexibility. We have no corporate debt in our capital structure, enabling us to make capital decisions with no restrictions imposed by debt covenants, lender oversight and/or mandatory repayment schedules. Additionally, in concert with our partner, Horizon Energy, we control the majority of our anticipated future net drilling locations, including the timing and selection of drilling locations as well as completion schedules. This allows us to modify our capital spending program depending on financial resources, leasehold requirements and market conditions.

Management experience . Our key management team possesses an average of over thirty years of experience in oil and gas exploration and production in multiple resource plays, including exploration and production in the Company's core regions of Osage, Oklahoma, Kern County, California, and the North Sea.

Cost-efficient operators . In the past, our management team has shown an ability to drill wells in a cost efficient way and to successfully integrate acquired assets without incurring significant increases in overhead.

The Company was originally incorporated under the Company Act (British Columbia) on February 8, 2000 under the name Brockton Capital Corp. We then changed our name to MegaWest Energy Corp. effective February 27, 2010, before changing it to Gravis Oil Corp. on June 20, 2011. On September 11, 2012, we re-organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as a corporation organized under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Prior to September 11, 2012, and at April 30, 2012, we were organized under the laws of Alberta, Canada.

Petro River Oil LLC (" Petro "), an indirect subsidiary of the Company and wholly owned subsidiary of MegaWest Energy Kansas Corp., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 3, 2011 (" MegaWest "). Through proceeds received from the issuance of various promissory notes, on February 1, 2012, Petro purchased various interests in oil and gas leases, wells, records, data and related personal property located along the play in the state of Kansas (" Mississippi Assets ").   Effective December 23, 2015, Petro divested the Mississippi Assets. In connection with the divestiture, the assignee and purchaser of the Mississippi Assets agreed to pay outstanding liabilities, including unpaid taxes, and assume certain responsibilities to plug any abandoned wells. No cash consideration was paid for the interests.

Share Exchange .  On April 23, 2013, the Company executed and consummated a securities purchase agreement by and among the Company, Petro, and certain investors in Petro (the " Investors "), namely, the holders of outstanding secured promissory notes of Petro (the " Notes "), and those holding membership interests in Petro (the " Membership Interests ", and, together with the Notes, the " Acquired Securities ") sold by Petro (the " Share Exchange "). In the Share Exchange, the Investors exchanged their Acquired Securities for 591,021,011 newly issued shares of the Company's common stock, $0.00001 par value (" Common Stock ") (2,955,105 shares of Common Stock based on the December 2015 reverse stock split – see "Reverse Stock Split" below). Upon completion of the Share Exchange, Petro became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company acquired 100% of the membership units of Petro and consequently, control of Petro's business and operations. Under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (" U.S. GAAP "), because Petro's former members and note holders held 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company as a result of the Share Exchange, Petro was deemed the accounting acquirer while the Company remains the legal acquirer. Petro adopted the fiscal year of the Company. Prior to the Share Exchange, all historical financial statements presented are those of Petro. The equity of the Company is the historical equity of Petro, restated to reflect the number of shares issued by the Company in the transaction.

Acquisition of Interest in Bandolier Energy LLC . On May 30, 2014, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement pursuant to which the Company was issued a 50% interest in Bandolier Energy, LLC (" Bandolier ") in exchange for a capital contribution of $5.0 million (the " Bandolier Acquisition "). In connection with the Bandolier Acquisition, the Company had the right to appoint a majority of the board of managers of Bandolier. The Company's Executive Chairman was a manager of, and owned a 20% membership interest in, Pearsonia West Investment Group, LLC (" Pearsonia West "), a special purpose vehicle formed for the purpose of investing in Bandolier with the Company and Ranger Station, LLC (" Ranger Station "). Concurrent with the Bandolier Acquisition, Pearsonia West was issued a 44% interest in Bandolier for cash consideration of $4.4 million, and Ranger Station was issued a 6% interest in Bandolier for cash consideration of $600,000. In connection with Pearsonia West's investment in Bandolier, the Company and Pearsonia West entered into an agreement, dated May 30, 2014, granting the members of Pearsonia West an option, exercisable at any time prior to May 30, 2017, to exchange their pro rata share of the Bandolier membership interests for shares of the Company's Common Stock, at a price of $0.08 per share, subject to adjustment (the " Option "). The Option, if fully exercised, would result in the Company issuing 55,000,000 shares of its Common Stock (275,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $16 per share based on the December 2015 reverse stock split – see "Reverse Stock Split" below), or 6% to the members of Pearsonia West. 

Until the execution of the Contribution Agreement, described below, the Company had operational control along with a 50% ownership interest in Bandolier. As a result, the Company consolidated Bandolier. The remaining 50% non–controlling interest represented the equity investment from Pearsonia West and Ranger Station. The Company allocated the proportionate share of the net operating income/loss to both the Company and the non-controlling interest.

Subsequent to the initial capitalization of Bandolier, Bandolier acquired, for $8,712,893 less a $407,161 claw back, all of the issued and outstanding equity of Spyglass Energy Group, LLC (" Spyglass "), the owner of oil and gas leases, leaseholds, lands, and options and concessions thereto located in Osage County, Oklahoma. Spyglass controlled a significant contiguous oil and gas acreage position in Northeastern Oklahoma, consisting of approximately 106,000 acres, with substantial original oil in place, stacked reservoirs, as well as exploratory and development opportunities that could be accessed through both horizontal and vertical drilling. Significant infrastructure was already in place including 32 square miles of 3-D seismic, 3 phase power, a dedicated sub-station as well as multiple oil producing horizontal wells.

The Company recorded the purchase of Spyglass by Bandolier using the acquisition method of accounting as specified in  ASC 805 "Business Combinations."  This method of accounting requires the acquirer to (i) record purchase consideration issued to sellers in a business combination at fair value on the date control is obtained, (ii) determine the fair value of any non-controlling interest, and (iii) allocate the purchase consideration to all tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their acquisition date fair values. Further, the Company commenced reporting the results of Spyglass on a consolidated basis with those of the Company effective upon the date of the acquisition.

MegaWest Transaction.   On October 15, 2015, the Company entered into a contribution agreement (the " Contribution Agreement ") with MegaWest and Fortis Property Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (" Fortis "), pursuant to which the Company and Fortis each agreed to contribute certain assets to MegaWest in exchange for shares of MegaWest common stock (" MegaWest Shares ") (the " MegaWest Transaction ").

Upon execution of the Contribution Agreement, (i) the Company transferred its 50% membership interest in Bandolier (the  "Bandolier Interest" ), and cancelled all of its ownership interest in the then issued and outstanding MegaWest Shares, which prior to the MegaWest Transaction represented 100% ownership of MegaWest; and (ii) Fortis transferred certain indirect interests held in 30 condominium units and the rights to any profits and proceeds therefrom.  Immediately thereafter, MegaWest issued to the Company 58,510 MegaWest Shares, representing a 58.51% equity interest in MegaWest, as consideration for the assignment of the Bandolier Interest, and issued to Fortis 41,490 MegaWest Shares, representing a 41.49% equity interest in MegaWest, as consideration for the assets assigned to MegaWest by Fortis.  The account receivable and the Company's interest in real estate reflected on the Company's balance sheet are assets held by MegaWest, and are controlled by MegaWest's board of directors, consisting of two members appointed by Fortis, and one by the Company. The relative composition of the board of directors of MegaWest shall continue as long as Fortis has an equity interest in MegaWest.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Contribution Agreement, the Contribution Agreement provided for a redetermination of the fair market value of the Bandolier Interest at any time following the six month anniversary after the execution thereof (the " Redetermination "),  Upon a Redetermination, which has not occurred as of July 28, 2017, in the event there is a shortfall from the valuation ascribed to the Bandolier Interest at the time of the Redetermination, as compared to the value ascribed to the Bandolier Interest in the Contribution Agreement, the Company will be required to provide Fortis with a cash payment in an amount equal to the shortfall.  If the Company is unable to deliver to Fortis the cash payment required after the Redetermination, if any, the board of directors of MegaWest shall have the right to exercise certain remedies against the Company, including a right to foreclose on the Company's entire equity in MegaWest, which equity interest has been pledged to Fortis under the terms of the Contribution Agreement.  In the event of foreclosure, the Bandolier Interest would revert back to the Company. 

Acquisition of Horizon Investments.  On December 1, 2015, the Company entered into a conditional purchase agreement with Horizon Investments (as amended, the " Purchase Agreement "), pursuant to which the Company acquired, on May 3, 2016, (i) a 20% membership interest in Horizon Energy; (ii) certain promissory notes issued by Horizon Investments to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $1.6 million (the " Horizon Notes "); (iii) approximately $690,000 held in escrow pending closing under the Purchase Agreement (the " Closing Proceeds "); and (iv) certain bank, investment and other accounts maintained by Horizon Investments, in an amount which, together with the principal amount of the Horizon Note and the Closing Proceeds, totaled not less than $5.0 million (collectively, the " Purchased Assets "). The consideration for the Purchased Assets was 11,564,249 shares of the Company's Common Stock, which shares were issued to Horizon Investments at closing.

$2.0 Million Secured Note Financing . On June 13, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (" Purchase Agreement ") with Petro Exploration Funding, LLC (" Funding Corp ."), pursuant to which the Company issued to Funding Corp. a senior secured promissory note to finance the Company's working capital requirements (the " Note Financing "), in the principal amount of $2.0 million (" Secured Note "). As additional consideration for the Note Financing, the Company issued to Funding Corp. (i) a warrant to purchase 840,336 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.00001 par value (" Common Stock ") (" Warrant "), and (ii) an overriding royalty interest equal to 2% in all production from the Company's interest in the Company's concessions located in Osage County, Oklahoma, currently held by Spyglass pursuant to an Assignment of Overriding Royalty Interests (the " Assignment ").

The Secured Note accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum, and matures on June 30, 2020. To secure the repayment of all amounts due under the terms of the Secured Note, the Company entered into a Security Agreement, pursuant to which the Company granted to Funding Corp. a security interest in all assets of the Company. The first interest payment will be due on June 1, 2018 and each six-month anniversary thereafter until the outstanding principal balance of the Secured Note is paid in full.

The Warrant is exercisable immediately upon issuance, for an exercise price per share equal to $2.38 per share, and shall terminate, if not previously exercised, five years from the date of issuance.

Scot Cohen, a member of the Company's Board of Directors and a substantial stockholder of the Company, owns or controls 31.25% of Funding Corp.

Kern County Drilling Program Results. On July 18, 2017, the Company announced a new oil field discovery in its Sunset Boulevard prospect in Kern County, California upon successfully drilling the Cattani-Rennie 47X-15 exploration well (" CR 47X "). The CR 47X was drilled to a depth of approximately 8,500 feet and confirmed at least two commercially successful pay zones.   The discovery is currently being evaluated but initial results indicate significant reserve potential.  Following completion and production tests, the Company will announce development plans.  Several additional prospect wells are now being planned to be drilled in Kern County.

The Company owns a 19.25% interest in the Kern County field based on a 13.75% direct working interest and 5.5% indirect working interest through its 20% equity investment in Horizon Energy. Historically, since its 1933 discovery, this field has produced over 100 million barrels of oil and equivalents from six distinct reservoirs. The Company's 3-D survey constitutes the first modern seismic data (including both 2-D and 3-D) acquired over this geologically complex field.

Osage County Drilling Program Results. On May 8, 2017, the Company announced a new oil field discovery in its 106,500-acre concession in Osage County, Oklahoma upon successfully drilling the Chat 2-11 exploration well. The Chat 2-11 was drilled to a depth of 2,800 feet into the Mississippian Chat. Initial results indicated up to 20 feet of oil productive formation. Following flow and fracking tests, the Company plans to confirm IP rates.

On May 30, 2017, the Company announced a second new oil field discovery in its 106,500-acre concession in Osage County, Oklahoma upon successfully drilling the Red Fork 1-3 exploration well. The Red Fork 1-3 was drilled to a depth of 2,800 feet into the Mississippian Chat. Initial results indicated up to 30 feet of oil productive formation. Following flow and fracking tests, the Company plans to confirm IP rates. These structures were identified utilizing 3D seismic technology, indicating a potential of up to 2.5 million barrels of oil.

The Company's Osage County drilling program is the result of a Joint Exploration and Development Agreement (the " Exploration Agreement "), dated August 19, 2016, between Spyglass, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bandolier, Phoenix 2016, LLC (" Phoenix ") and Mackey Consulting & Leasing, LLC (" Mackey "). Pursuant to the Exploration Agreement, Phoenix and Mackey operates and provides certain services, including obtaining permits and providing technical services, at cost, in connection with a Phase I Development Program as agreed to by the parties (the " Phase I Program ").  Phoenix and Mackey shall earn a 25% working interest on all wells drilled in the Phase I Program.  Following success and completion of the Phase I Program, Phoenix and Mackey shall earn a 25% working interest in the Osage County, Oklahoma Concession held by Spyglass. Under the Exploration Agreement, Bandolier has agreed commit up to $2.1 million towards costs of the Phase I Program, at its sole discretion.

Reverse Stock Split. At its Annual Meeting held on September 20, 2016, the Company's shareholders approved a resolution to authorize the Company's Board of Directors, in its sole and absolute discretion, to amend the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to implement a reverse stock split of our Common Stock, at a ratio of not less than 1-for-2, and not greater than 1-for-10 (" Reverse Split "), within one year from the date of the Annual Meeting, with the exact ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has not determined the ratio, and does not currently intend to execute the Reverse Split until such time as the Company lists its shares of Common Stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market.

For the Years Ended April 30, 2017 and 2016:

Oil and Natural Gas Sales

During the year ended April 30, 2017, the Company recognized $26,603 in oil and gas sales compared to $87,939 for the year ended April 30, 2016. The overall decrease in sales of $61,336 is primarily due to the decrease in operations and shut-in wells in light of the challenging oil price environment. The Company has drilled four exploratory wells and is re-completing certain existing wells, each located in Osage County, Oklahoma and Kern County, California.  Given current oil and gas prices, management does not currently anticipate deriving material revenue from existing oil and gas assets in the short-term; provided, however, in the event oil and gas prices rise from current levels, or in the event the Company confirms IP rates following completion and production of its recently drilled exploratory wells, resulting in proven reserves that can be extracted profitably at current oil and gas prices, management anticipates the resumption of oil and gas sales, although no assurances can be given.

Lease Operating Expenses

During the year ended April 30, 2017, lease operating expenses were $48,578, as compared to lease operating expenses of $373,028 for the year ended April 30, 2016. The overall decrease in lease operating expense of $324,450 is primarily attributable to management's commitment to substantially reduce operating expense in light of the current challenging oil price environment.

(Gain) Loss on Sale of Oil and Gas Assets

During the year ended April 30, 2017, the Company  assigned its leaseholds covering approximately 320 acres in Missouri to third party in furtherance of the Company's corporate strategy to divest its legacy assets. In conjunction with the assignment, the Company recorded a gain of $216,850. During the year ended April 30, 2016, the Company recorded a loss of $7,519,460 in connection with the divestiture of Kansas oil and gas properties.

Impairment of Oil and Gas Assets

The Company assesses all items classified as unproved property on an annual basis for possible impairment. The Company assesses properties on an individual basis or as a group if properties are individually insignificant. The assessment includes consideration of the following factors, among others: land relinquishment; intent to drill; remaining lease term; geological and geophysical evaluations; drilling results and activity; the assignment of proved reserves; and the economic viability of development if proved reserves are assigned. Significant changes in these factors could reduce our estimates of future net proceeds and accordingly could result in an impairment of our oil and gas assets. During the year ended April 30, 2017, the Company reviewed the oil and gas assets for impairment and recognized an impairment charge of $20,942 on the Oklahoma properties. During the year ended April 30, 2016, the Company reviewed the oil and gas assets for impairment and recognized an impairment charge of $6,870,613 on the Oklahoma and Missouri properties.

Impairment of Intangible Assets

The Company assesses all items classified as intangible assets on an annual basis for possible impairment. During the years ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company reviewed the intangible assets for impairment and recognized an impairment charge of $0 and $2,082,941, respectively.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense for the year ended April 30, 2017 was $4,107,795, as compared to $3,103,358 for the year ended April 30, 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in salaries and benefits, professional fees and office and administrative expenses .  These changes are outlined below:

Salaries and benefits include non-cash stock-based compensation of $2,178,716 for year ended April 30, 2017 compared to $1,593,349 for the year ended April 30, 2016. The increase in stock-based compensation of $585,367 from the prior year was due to an increase in the number of option awards expensed during the current year. General and administrative expenses increased due to (i) significant increases in professional fees incurred during the implementation of the Company's business plan; (ii) as well as increased marketing and investor relations expenses. We also experienced higher legal expenses relating to transactional and other corporate activities during the year ended April 30, 2017.

Interest Income (Expense)

During the year ended April 30, 2017, the Company recognized interest income of $628,956 compared to interest income of $174,458 for the year ended April 30, 2016. The income received in the 2017 and 2016 years is primarily attributable to $627,275 and $170,653, respectively, of interest income accrued on the related party notes receivable.

Net Gain on Interests in Real Estate Rights

During the year ended April 30, 2017, the Company recognized $1,689,274 net gain on its interest in real estate rights compared to $10,474,713 for the year ended April 30, 2016. The net gain on interest in real estate rights was due to the sale of four and 25 condominium units, respectively, by Fortis and the resulting profits which were assigned to MegaWest pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, less the book value recorded by MegaWest.

At April 30, 2017, the Company had working capital of approximately $25.5 million, of which approximately $24.8 million, $2.1 million and $0.3 million is attributable to several notes receivable from a related party, an account receivable from a related party, and the Company's interest in certain real estate rights, respectively. The notes receivable, account receivable and the Company's interest in real estate rights are assets held by MegaWest, the Company's 58.51% owned subsidiary, and are controlled by MegaWest's board of directors, consisting of two members appointed by Fortis, and one by the Company.  The relative composition of the board of directors of MegaWest shall continue as long as Fortis has an equity interest in MegaWest. The Company expects to receive these funds upon the maturity date and intends to and use the proceeds to fund the development of the Company's interest in the Bandolier prospects.

Proceeds from the amounts receivable from Fortis will not be available until such time as the Company has completed its evaluation of the Bandolier prospects, at which time the Redetermination will be performed. In the event there is a shortfall from the valuation ascribed to the Bandolier Interest at the time of the Redetermination, as compared to the value ascribed to the Bandolier Interest in the Contribution Agreement, the Company will be required to provide Fortis with a cash payment in an amount equal to the shortfall, and any unfunded shortfall will likely result in the foreclosure on all or a portion of the Company's entire equity interest in MegaWest, which equity interest has been pledged to Fortis.  No assurances can be given that the value of the Bandolier Interest will equal the valuation set forth in the Contribution Agreement, or if the value identified after the Redetermination is below the initial valuation, that we will be able to fund such shortfall. Any requirement to fund a shortfall will have a material and adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

In the event of a foreclosure of our equity interest in MegaWest resulting in such equity interest decreasing to less than a controlling interest in MegaWest, the assets conveyed to MegaWest under the terms of the Contribution Agreement may no longer be consolidated with the Company's assets on the Company's financial statements, and the Bandolier Interest may revert back to the Company.  As a result, our financial condition and results from operations may be adversely affected, and such affect will be material.

As a result of the utilization of cash in its operating activities, and the development of its assets, the Company has incurred losses since it commenced operations. In addition, the Company has a limited operating history.  At April 30, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.6 million. The Company's primary source of operating funds since inception has been equity financings, as well as through the consummation of the Horizon Acquisition. Subsequent to April 30, 2017, on June 13, 2017, the Company consummated the Note Financing, pursuant to which the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with Funding Corp. resulting in the issuance to Funding Corp. of the Secured Note to finance the Company's short-term working capital requirements, in the principal amount of $2.0 million. While management believes that the current level of working capital is sufficient to maintain current operations as well as the planned added operations for the next 12 months, management intends to raise capital through debt and equity instruments in order to execute its business and operating plans. Management can provide no assurances that the Company will be successful in its capital raising efforts. In order to conserve capital, from time to time, management may defer certain development activity.

To address the current challenging oil and gas environment, and in order to increase the value of the Company's oil and gas assets, management has also curtailed certain oil and gas operations, and focused on the Company's Horizon Acquisition. In addition to the Horizon Acquisition, the MegaWest Transaction, and current drilling programs in Osage County, Oklahoma and Kern County, California, the Company is also exploring farm in and joint venture opportunities for its oil and gas assets as well other opportunities to increase shareholder value. No assurances can be given that management will be successful. 

Operating Activities

During the year ended April 30, 2017, operating activities resulted in cash used of $2,219,980, as compared to $1,767,151 used in operating activities during the year ended April 30, 2016. The Company incurred a net loss during the year ended April 30, 2017 of $2,583,339 as compared to a loss of $11,989,758 for the year ended April 30, 2016 . For year ended April 30, 2017, the net loss was offset by non-cash items such as stock-based compensation, depreciation, depletion and accretion of asset retirement obligation, impairment of oil and gas assets, and the deferred tax liability. Cash provided by operations was also influenced by changes in accounts receivable, accrued interest on notes receivable, prepaid expenses and accounts payable and accrued expenses. For the year ended April 30, 2016, the net loss was offset by non-cash items such as stock-based compensation, depreciation, depletion and amortization, accretion of asset retirement obligation, impairment of oil and gas assets, impairment of intangible assets, loss on sale of equipment and the deferred tax liability. Cash used in operations was also influenced by changes in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Investing Activities

Investing activities during the year ended April 30, 2017 resulted in cash provided of $1,900,461, as compared to cash used of $68,641 during the year ended April 30, 2016. During the year ended April 30, 2017, the Company received proceeds of $6,900,228 from its interest in real estate rights, as compared to $18,369,000 during the year ended April 30, 2016. As a part of the arrangement with Fortis, the majority of the proceeds were then loaned to Fortis in the form of notes receivable agreements with Fortis for $6,938,382 during the year ended April 30, 2017, compared to $17,848,000 during the year ended April 30, 2016.

During the year ended April 30, 2017, the Company incurred $487,857 of expenditures on oil and gas assets compared to $102,864 of expenditures on oil and gas assets as part of the Bandolier acquisition. During the year ended April 30, 2017, the Company received cash of $0 and $0 from the disposal of oil and gas assets and equipment, respectively, as compared to receiving cash of $279,013 and $60,000 during the year ended April 30, 2016, respectively.

Financing Activities

Financing activities during the year ended April 30, 2017 resulted in cash provided of $ 176,000 , as compared to $ 1.6 million  during the year ended April 30, 2016. The cash provided during the year ended April 30, 2017 was related to a contribution received from the Company's non-controlling interest partners in Bandolier from a mandatory capital request.  On August 8, 2016, Bandolier's Board of Managers approved a capital call of $1.25 million due per extension to April 30, 2017 to fund certain re-completions and test wells to be drilled in Osage county. MegaWest Kansas' portion of the capital call is $625,000, of which it has funded $483,163 and $141,838 is due on or prior to April 30, 2017. Pearsonia West's portion of the capital call is $550,000, of which it has funded $176,000 and $374,000 is due on or prior to April 30, 2017. Ranger Station has elected not to fund its capital call amount of $75,000. As a result, Ranger Station has forfeited its 6% interest in Bandolier and such interest has been allocated pro rata between MegaWest Kansas and Pearsonia West as of April 30, 2017. 

Capitalization

The number of outstanding shares and the number of shares that could be issued if all Common Stock equivalents are converted to shares is as follows: 

The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2017 and 2016. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (" US GAAP "), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses, to disclose contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the consolidated financial statements, and to disclose the reported amounts of revenues and expenses incurred during the financial reporting period. The most significant estimates and assumptions include the valuation of accounts receivable, and the useful lives and impairment of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, the valuation of deferred tax assets and inventories and the provision for income taxes. We continue to evaluate these estimates and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We rely on these evaluations as the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. 

The following critical accounting policies rely upon assumptions and estimates and were used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Oil and Gas Operations

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas operations whereby all costs related to exploration and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Under this method, the Company capitalizes all acquisition, exploration and development costs incurred for the purpose of finding oil and natural gas reserves, including salaries, benefits and other internal costs directly attributable to these activities. Costs associated with production and general corporate activities, however, are expensed in the period incurred. Costs are capitalized on a country-by-country basis. To date, there has only been one cost center, the United States.

The present value of estimated future net cash flows is computed by applying the average first-day-of-the-month prices during the previous twelve-month period of oil and natural gas to estimated future production of proved oil and natural gas reserves as of year-end less estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. Prior to December 31, 2009, prices and costs used to calculate future net cash flows were those as of the end of the appropriate quarterly period.

Following the discovery of reserves and the commencement of production, the Company will compute depletion of oil and natural gas properties using the unit-of-production method based upon production and estimates of proved reserve quantities. Costs associated with unproved properties are excluded from the depletion calculation until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. Unproved properties are assessed for impairment annually. Significant properties are assessed individually.

The Company assesses all items classified as unproved property on an annual basis for possible impairment. The Company assesses properties on an individual basis or as a group if properties are individually insignificant. The assessment includes consideration of the following factors, among others: land relinquishment; intent to drill; remaining lease term; geological and geophysical evaluations; drilling results and activity; the assignment of proved reserves; and the economic viability of development if proved reserves are assigned. During any period in which these factors indicate impairment, the related exploration costs incurred are transferred to the full cost pool and are then subject to depletion and the ceiling limitations on development oil and natural gas expenditures.

Proceeds from the sale of oil and gas assets are applied against capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized, unless a sale would alter the rate of depletion and depreciation by 25 percent or more.

Significant changes in these factors could reduce our estimates of future net proceeds and accordingly could result in an impairment of our oil and gas assets. Management will perform annual assessments of the carrying amounts of its oil and gas assets as additional data from ongoing exploration activities becomes available.

Interest in Real Estate Rights

Fortis contributed profit realized from future sale of these properties to MegaWest, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Contribution Agreement, as a part of the MegaWest Transaction. As we do not know the price at which the real estate will be sold, the rights are stated on the consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2017 and 2016 at the cost basis of Fortis.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and income tax carrying amounts 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. The Company reviews deferred tax assets for a valuation allowance based upon whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be fully realized. A valuation allowance, if necessary, is provided against deferred tax assets, based upon management's assessment as to their realization.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions pursuant to ASC Topic 740-10-25 " Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ," which allows companies to recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Those tax positions failing to qualify for initial recognition are recognized in the first interim period in which they meet the more likely than not standard, or are resolved through negotiation or litigation with the taxing authority, or upon expiration of the statute of limitations. De-recognition of a tax position that was previously recognized occurs when an entity subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more likely than not threshold of being sustained.

At April 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company has approximately $3,442,724 and $2,501,209, respectively, of liabilities for uncertain tax positions. Interpretation of taxation rules relating to net operating loss utilization in real estate transactions give rise to uncertain positions. In connection with the uncertain tax position, there was no interest or penalties recorded as the position is expected but the tax returns are not yet due.

The Company is subject to ongoing tax exposures, examinations and assessments in various jurisdictions. Accordingly, the Company may incur additional tax expense based upon the outcomes of such matters. In addition, when applicable, the Company will adjust tax expense to reflect the Company's ongoing assessments of such matters, which require judgment and can materially increase or decrease its effective rate as well as impact operating results.

The number of years with open tax audits varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. The Company's major taxing jurisdictions include the United States (including applicable states).

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard's core principle (issued as ASU 2014-09 by the FASB), is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The new guidance must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year, and would allow entities the option to early adopt the new revenue standard as of the original effective date. This ASU is effective for public reporting companies for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating its adoption method and the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which the Company will adopt the standard in 2017.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, " Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing " (topic 606). In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross verses Net)" (topic 606). These amendments provide additional clarification and implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". The amendments in ASU 2016-10 provide clarifying guidance on materiality of performance obligations; evaluating distinct performance obligations; treatment of shipping and handling costs; and determining whether an entity's promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use an entity's intellectual property or a right to access an entity's intellectual property. The amendments in ASU 2016-08 clarify how an entity should identify the specified good or service for the principal versus agent evaluation and how it should apply the control principle to certain types of arrangements. The adoption of ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-08 is to coincide with an entity's adoption of ASU 2014-09, which we intend to adopt for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, " Compensation – Stock Compensation " (topic 718). The FASB issued this update to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" ("ASU 2016-15"). ASU 2016-15 will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The new standard will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case it would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-15 on its consolidated financial statements. 

The Company does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the " Exchange Act "), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of April 30, 2017. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of April 30, 2017 due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, as discussed below.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as required under applicable United States securities regulatory requirements. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's chief executive and chief financial officers and effected by the company's 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: 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. A system of internal controls can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, no matter how well the system is conceived or operated. 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. 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2017. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (" COSO ") in 2013 in Internal Control Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation under this framework, our management concluded that as of April 30, 2017, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective because of the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:

This annual report does not include an attestation report by our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. As we are neither a large accelerated filer nor an accelerated filer, our management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report. 

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that were identified in connection with such evaluation that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. To begin remediating the material weakness identified in internal control over financial reporting of the Company, the Company engaged Brio Financial Group and appointed its Managing Member, David Briones, to act as the Company's Chief Financial Officer on August 15, 2013. During the year ended April 30, 2017, Management intended to hire additional accounting staff, and operational and administrative executives. However, with the lack of resources these hires were delayed until which time financing is received.  Management intends to prepare and implement sufficient written policies and checklists to remedy the material weaknesses identified above.

To the Board of Directors

Petro River Oil Corp.

New York, New York

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Petro River Oil Corp. as of April 30, 2017 and 2016 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Petro River Oil Corp.'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 audit 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 audit 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 Petro River Oil Corp. as of April 30, 2017 and 2016 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

Petro River Oil Corp. (the " Company ") is an independent energy company focused on the exploration and development of conventional oil and gas assets with low discovery and development costs. The Company is currently focused on moving forward with drilling wells on several of its properties owned directly and indirectly through its interest in Horizon Energy Partners, LLC (" Horizon Energy "), as well as taking advantage of the relative depressed market in oil prices to enter highly prospective plays with Horizon Energy and other industry-leading partners. Diversification over a number of projects, each with low initial capital expenditures and strong risk reward characteristics, reduces risk and provides cross-functional exposure to a number of attractive risk adjusted opportunities.

The Company's core holdings are in the Mid-Continent Region in Oklahoma and in Kern County, California.  

Following the acquisition of Horizon I Investments, LLC (" Horizon Investments "), the Company now has exposure to a portfolio of several domestic and international oil and gas assets consisting of highly prospective conventional plays diversified across project type, geographic location and risk profile, as well as access to a broad network of industry leaders from Horizon Investment's 20% interest in Horizon Energy.  Horizon Energy is an oil and gas exploration and development company owned and managed by former senior oil and gas executives.  It has a portfolio of domestic and international assets, including two assets located in the United Kingdom, adjacent to the giant Wytch Farm oil field, the largest onshore oil field in Western Europe.  Other projects include the proposed redevelopment of a large oil field in Kern County, California and the development of an additional recent discovery in Kern County.  

In light of the challenging oil price environment and capital markets, management is focusing on specific target acquisitions and investments, limiting operating expenses and exploring farm-in and joint venture opportunities for the Company's oil and gas assets. No assurances can be given that management will be successful.  

$2.0 Million Secured Note Financing . On June 13, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (" Purchase Agreement ") with Petro Exploration Funding, LLC (" Funding Corp ."), pursuant to which the Company issued to Funding Corp. a senior secured promissory note to finance the Company's working capital requirements, in the principal amount of $2.0 million (" Secured Note "). As additional consideration for the note financing, the Company issued to Funding Corp. (i) a warrant to purchase 840,336 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.00001 par value, and (ii) an overriding royalty interest equal to 2% in all production from the Company's interest in the Company's concessions located in Osage County, Oklahoma, currently held by Spyglass pursuant to an Assignment of Overriding Royalty Interests.

The Secured Note accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum, and matures on June 30, 2020. To secure the repayment of all amounts due under the terms of the Secured Note, the Company entered into a Security Agreement, pursuant to which the Company granted to Funding Corp. a security interest in all assets of the Company. The first interest payment will be due on June 1, 2018 and each six-month anniversary thereafter until the outstanding principal balance of the Secured Note is paid in full.

The warrant is exercisable immediately upon issuance, for an exercise price per share equal to $2.38 per share, and shall terminate, if not previously exercised, five years from the date of issuance.

Scot Cohen, a member of the Company's Board of Directors and a substantial stockholder of the Company, owns or controls 31.25% of Funding Corp.

Kern County Drilling Program Results. On July 18, 2017, the Company announced a new oil field discovery in its Sunset Boulevard prospect in Kern County, California upon successfully drilling the Cattani-Rennie 47X-15 exploration well (" CR 47X ").  The discovery is currently being evaluated but initial results indicate significant reserve potential.  Following completion and production tests, the Company will announce development plans.  Several additional prospect wells are now being planned to be drilled in Kern County.

The Company owns a 19.25% interest in the Kern County field based on a 13.75% direct working interest and 5.5% indirect working interest through its 20% equity investment in Horizon Energy.

Osage County Drilling Program Results. On May 8, 2017, the Company announced a new oil field discovery in its 106,500-acre concession in Osage County, Oklahoma upon successfully drilling the Chat 2-11 exploration well.

On May 30, 2017, the Company announced a second new oil field discovery in its 106,500-acre concession in Osage County, Oklahoma upon successfully drilling the Red Fork 1-3 exploration well.

The Company's Osage County drilling program is the result of a Joint Exploration and Development Agreement (the " Exploration Agreement "), dated August 19, 2016, between Spyglass, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bandolier, Phoenix 2016, LLC (" Phoenix ") and Mackey Consulting & Leasing, LLC (" Mackey "). Pursuant to the Exploration Agreement, Phoenix and Mackey operates and provides certain services, including obtaining permits and providing technical services, at cost, in connection with a Phase I Development Program as agreed to by the parties (the " Phase I Program ").  Phoenix and Mackey shall earn a 25% working interest on all wells drilled in the Phase I Program.  Following success and completion of the Phase I Program, Phoenix and Mackey shall earn a 25% working interest in the Osage County, Oklahoma Concession held by Spyglass. Under the Exploration Agreement, Bandolier has agreed commit up to $2.1 million towards costs of the Phase I Program, at its sole discretion.

Reverse Stock Split. At its Annual Meeting held on September 20, 2016, the Company's shareholders approved a resolution to authorize the Company's Board of Directors, in its sole and absolute discretion, to amend the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to implement a reverse stock split of our common stock, at a ratio of not less than 1-for-2, and not greater than 1-for-10, within one year from the date of the Annual Meeting, with the exact ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has not determined the ratio, and does not currently intend to execute the reverse split until such time as the Company lists its shares of common stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market.

The consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (" US GAAP ") and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (" SEC ") and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Non–controlling interest represents the minority equity investment in the Company's subsidiaries, plus the minority investors' share of the net operating results and other components of equity relating to the non–controlling interest.

These consolidated financial statements include the Company and the following subsidiaries:

Petro Spring, LLC, PO1, LLC, Petro River UK Limited, Horizon I Investments, LLC and MegaWest Energy USA Corp. and MegaWest Energy USA Corp.'s wholly owned subsidiaries:

MegaWest Energy Texas Corp.

MegaWest Energy Kentucky Corp.

MegaWest Energy Missouri Corp.

MegaWest Energy Montana Corp.

Also contained in the consolidated financial statements is the financial information of the Company's 58.51% owned subsidiary, MegaWest Energy Kansas Corporation (" MegaWest "), which resulted from a transaction with Fortis Property Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (" Fortis ") consummated on October 15, 2015 (the " MegaWest Transaction "). The Megawest Transaction includes the Company's contribution of its 50% interest in Bandolier Energy LLC.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company's financial statements are based on a number of significant estimates, including oil and natural gas reserve quantities which are the basis for the calculation of depreciation, depletion and impairment of oil and natural gas properties, and timing and costs associated with its asset retirement obligations, as well as those related to the fair value of stock options, stock warrants and stock issued for services. While we believe that our estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid monetary instruments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash deposits. The Company maintains its cash in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (" FDIC "). At times, the Company's cash and cash equivalent balances may be uninsured or in amounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limits.

As of April 30, 2017 and 2016, restricted cash consisted of a certificate of deposit in the amount of $0 and $80,803, respectively, which had an annual interest rate of 0.5% and maturity date of March 13, 2017.

Receivables that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future shall be reported in the balance sheet at outstanding principal adjusted for any charge-offs and the allowance for doubtful accounts. Losses from uncollectible receivables shall be accrued when both of the following conditions are met: (a) Information available before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired at the date of the financial statements, and (b) The amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These conditions may be considered in relation to individual receivables or in relation to groups of similar types of receivables. If the conditions are met, an accrual shall be made even though the particular receivables that are uncollectible may not be identifiable. The Company reviews individually each receivable for collectability and performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer's current credit worthiness, as determined by the review of their current credit information; and determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and general economic conditions that may affect a client's ability to pay. Bad debt expense is included in general and administrative expenses, if any.

Credit losses for receivables (uncollectible receivables), which may be for all or part of a particular receivable, shall be deducted from the allowance. The related receivable balance shall be charged off in the period in which the receivables are deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously charged off shall be recorded when received. The Company charges off its account receivables against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

The allowance for doubtful accounts at April 30, 2017 and 2016 was $0.

Interest in real estate rights contributed by Fortis related to real properties that Fortis plans to sell within one year. Since these properties are contributed by Fortis, a related party, the rights are stated on balance sheet at the cost basis of Fortis.

Oil and Gas Properties : The Company uses the full-cost method of accounting for its exploration and development activities. Under this method of accounting, the costs of both successful and unsuccessful exploration and development activities are capitalized as oil and gas property and equipment. Proceeds from the sale or disposition of oil and gas properties are accounted for as a reduction to capitalized costs unless the gain or loss would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and natural gas attributable to a country, in which case a gain or loss would be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. All of the Company's oil and gas properties are located within the continental United States, its sole cost center.

Oil and gas properties may include costs that are excluded from costs being depleted. Oil and gas costs excluded represent investments in unproved properties and major development projects in which the Company owns a direct interest. These unproved property costs include non-producing leasehold, geological and geophysical costs associated with leasehold or drilling interests and in process exploration drilling costs. All costs excluded are reviewed at least annually to determine if impairment has occurred.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. As of April 30, 2017 and 2016, management engaged a third party to perform an independent study of the oil and gas assets. Management concluded that as of April 30, 2016, the Missouri assets were impaired by $918,991 and the Oklahoma assets were impaired by $5,951,622. The Company recorded total impairment of $20,942 and $6,870,613 to the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  

Proved Oil and Gas Reserves : Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. All of the Company's oil and gas properties with proven reserves were impaired to the salvage value prior to the Bandolier transaction. The price used to establish economic producibility is the average price during the 12-month period preceding the end of the entity's fiscal year and calculated as the un-weighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such 12-month period.

Depletion, Depreciation and Amortization:  Depletion, depreciation and amortization is provided using the unit-of-production method based upon estimates of proved oil and gas reserves with oil and gas production being converted to a common unit of measure based upon their relative energy content. Investments in unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is deducted from the capitalized costs to be amortized. Once the assessment of unproved properties is complete and when major development projects are evaluated, the costs previously excluded from amortization are transferred to the full cost pool and amortization begins. The amortizable base includes estimated future development costs and, where significant, dismantlement, restoration and abandonment costs, net of estimated salvage value.

In arriving at rates under the unit-of-production method, the quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves are established based on estimates made by the Company's geologists and engineers which require significant judgment, as does the projection of future production volumes and levels of future costs, including future development costs. In addition, considerable judgment is necessary in determining when unproved properties become impaired and in determining the existence of proved reserves once a well has been drilled. All of these judgments may have significant impact on the calculation of depletion expenses. There have been no material changes in the methodology used by the Company in calculating depletion, depreciation and amortization of oil and gas properties under the full cost method during the years ended April 30, 2017 and 2016. 

Intangible assets consist of patent rights. Applicable long–lived assets are amortized or depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives, the estimated period that the assets will generate revenue, or the statutory or contractual term in the case of patents. Estimates of useful lives and periods of expected revenue generation are reviewed periodically for appropriateness and are based upon management's judgment. Patent rights were amortized on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 15 years.

The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets when there are indications that the assets might be impaired. When evaluating assets for potential impairment, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows.  If an asset's carrying value exceeds such estimated cash flows (undiscounted and with interest charges), the Company records an impairment charge for the difference.

The Company recognizes a liability for the estimated fair value of site restoration and abandonment costs when the obligations are legally incurred and the fair value can be reasonably estimated. The fair value of the obligations is based on the estimated cash flow required to settle the obligations discounted using the Company's credit adjusted risk-free interest rate. The obligation is recorded as a liability with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the oil and gas assets. The capitalized amount will be depleted on a unit-of-production method. The liability is increased each period, or accretes, due to the passage of time and a corresponding amount is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

Revisions to the estimated fair value would result in an adjustment to the liability and the capitalized amount in oil and gas assets.

Investments held in stock of entities other than subsidiaries, namely corporate joint ventures and other non-controlled entities usually are accounted for by one of three methods: (i) the fair value method, (ii) the equity method, or (iii) the cost method. The equity method tends to be most appropriate if an investment enables the investor to influence the operating or financial policies of the investee. The cost basis is utilized for investments that are less than 20% owned, and the Company does not exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. Under the cost method, investments are held at historical cost.

Income Tax Provision

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. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its consolidated balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management's opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions to recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Those tax positions failing to qualify for initial recognition are recognized in the first interim period in which they meet the more likely than not standard, or are resolved through negotiation or litigation with the taxing authority, or upon expiration of the statute of limitations. De-recognition of a tax position that was previously recognized occurs when an entity subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more likely than not threshold of being sustained.

At April 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company has approximately $3,442,724 and $2,501,209, respectively, of liabilities for uncertain tax positions. Interpretation of taxation rules relating to net operating loss utilization in real estate transactions give rise to uncertain positions. In connection with the uncertain tax position, there was no interest or penalties recorded as the position is expected but the tax returns are not yet due.

The Company is subject to ongoing tax exposures, examinations and assessments in various jurisdictions. Accordingly, the Company may incur additional tax expense based upon the outcomes of such matters. In addition, when applicable, the Company will adjust tax expense to reflect the Company's ongoing assessments of such matters, which require judgment and can materially increase or decrease its effective rate as well as impact operating results.

The number of years with open tax audits varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. The Company's major taxing jurisdictions include the United States (including applicable states).

Sales of oil and gas, net of any royalties, are recognized when oil has been delivered to a custody transfer point, persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the rights and responsibility of ownership pass to the purchaser upon delivery, collection of revenue from the sale is reasonably assured, and the sales price is fixed or determinable. The Company sells oil and gas on a monthly basis. Virtually all of its contracts' pricing provisions are tied to a market index, with certain adjustments based on, among other factors, whether a well delivers to a gathering or transmission line, the quality of the oil and gas, and prevailing supply and demand conditions, so that the price of the oil and gas fluctuates to remain competitive with other available oil supplies.

Generally, all forms of stock-based compensation, including stock option grants, warrants, and restricted stock grants are measured at their fair value utilizing an option pricing model on the award's grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

Under fair value recognition provisions, the Company recognizes equity–based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate and recognizes compensation cost only for those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award.

The fair value of option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black–Scholes option valuation model. The Black–Scholes option valuation model requires the development of assumptions that are input into the model. These assumptions are the expected stock volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the option's expected life, the dividend yield on the underlying stock and the expected forfeiture rate. Expected volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock over the expected option life and other appropriate factors. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk–free rates for the appropriate term. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the Company has never paid or declared any cash dividends on its common stock and does not intend to pay dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future. The expected forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical experience.

Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards requires the input of the subjective assumptions described above. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards represent management's best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the equity–based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and recognize expense only for those shares expected to vest. If the actual forfeiture rate is materially different from our estimate, the equity–based compensation expense could be significantly different from what the Company has recorded in the current period. 

The Company determines the fair value of the stock–based payment granted to non-employees as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete.

The expenses resulting from stock-based compensation are recorded as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations, depending on the nature of the services provided.

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. For the year ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, potentially dilutive securities were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive.

The Company had the following common stock equivalents at April 30, 2017 and 2016:

All financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet initially at carrying value. The carrying value of these assets approximates their fair value due to their short-term maturities.

At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses financial assets for impairment with any impairment recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. To assess loans and receivables for impairment, the Company evaluates the probability of collection of accounts receivable and records an allowance for doubtful accounts, which reduces loans and receivables to the amount management reasonably believes will be collected. In determining the amount of the allowance, the following factors are considered: the length of the time the receivable has been outstanding, specific knowledge of each customer's financial condition and historical experience.

Market risk is the risk that changes in commodity prices will affect the Company's oil sales, cash flows or the value of its financial instruments. The objective of commodity price risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits while maximizing returns.

The Company is exposed to changes in oil prices which impact its revenues and to changes in natural gas process which impact its operating expenses.

The Company does not utilize financial derivatives or other contracts to manage commodity price risks.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price).

Fair value measurements are categorized using a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs used to measure fair value, which prioritize the inputs into three broad levels:

Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date, and include those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies.

Level 3 - Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard's core principle (issued as ASU 2014-09 by the FASB), is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The new guidance must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year, and would allow entities the option to early adopt the new revenue standard as of the original effective date. This ASU is effective for public reporting companies for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating its adoption method and the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which the Company will adopt the standard in 2017.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, " Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing " (topic 606). In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross verses Net)" (topic 606). These amendments provide additional clarification and implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". The amendments in ASU 2016-10 provide clarifying guidance on materiality of performance obligations; evaluating distinct performance obligations; treatment of shipping and handling costs; and determining whether an entity's promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use an entity's intellectual property or a right to access an entity's intellectual property. The amendments in ASU 2016-08 clarify how an entity should identify the specified good or service for the principal versus agent evaluation and how it should apply the control principle to certain types of arrangements. The adoption of ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-08 is to coincide with an entity's adoption of ASU 2014-09, which we intend to adopt for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, " Compensation – Stock Compensation " (topic 718). The FASB issued this update to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" ("ASU 2016-15"). ASU 2016-15 will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The new standard will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case it would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-15 on its consolidated financial statements. 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)" , requiring that the statement of cash flows explain the change in the total cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The provisions of this guidance are to be applied using a retrospective approach which requires application of the guidance for all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard. 

The Company does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company has evaluated all transactions through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued for subsequent event disclosure consideration.

Acquisition of Interest in Bandolier Energy LLC. On May 30, 2014, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement pursuant to which the Company was issued a 50% interest in Bandolier Energy, LLC (" Bandolier ") in exchange for a capital contribution of $5.0 million (the " Bandolier Acquisition "). In connection with the Bandolier Acquisition, the Company has the right to appoint a majority of the board of managers of Bandolier. The Company's Executive Chairman is a manager of, and investor in, Pearsonia West Investment Group, LLC (" PWIG "), a special purpose vehicle formed for the purpose of investing in Bandolier with the Company and Ranger Station, LLC (" Ranger Station "). Concurrently with the Bandolier Acquisition, PWIG was issued a 44% interest in Bandolier for cash consideration of $4.4 million, and Ranger Station was issued a 6% interest in Bandolier for cash consideration of $600,000. In connection with PWIG's investment in Bandolier, the Company and PWIG entered into an agreement, dated May 30, 2014, granting the members of PWIG an option, exercisable at any time prior to May 30, 2017, to exchange their pro rata share of the Bandolier membership interests for shares of the Company's common stock, at a price of $16 per share, subject to adjustment (the " Option "). The Option, if fully exercised, would result in the Company issuing 275,000 shares of its common stock, or 6% to the members of PWIG. 

The Company has operational control along with a 50% ownership interest in Bandolier. As a result, the Company consolidates Bandolier. The remaining 50% non–controlling interest represents the equity investment from PWIG and Ranger Station. Upon consummation of the MegaWest transaction, the Company owned approximately 29.3% of Bandolier.

On May 30, 2014, Bandolier acquired, for $8,712,893 less a $407,161 claw back, all of the issued and outstanding equity of Spyglass Energy Group, LLC (" Spyglass "), the owner of oil and gas leases, leaseholds, lands, and options and concessions thereto located in Osage County, Oklahoma. Spyglass controls a significant contiguous oil and gas acreage position in Northeastern Oklahoma, consisting of approximately 106,000 acres, with substantial original oil in place, stacked reservoirs, as well as exploratory and development opportunities that can be accessed through both horizontal and vertical drilling. Significant infrastructure is already in place including 32 square miles of 3-D seismic, 3 phase power, a dedicated sub-station as well as multiple oil producing horizontal wells.  No additional contingencies were assumed.

The Company recorded the purchase of Spyglass using the acquisition method of accounting as specified in  ASC 805 "Business Combinations."  This method of accounting requires the acquirer to (i) record purchase consideration issued to sellers in a business combination at fair value on the date control is obtained, (ii) determine the fair value of any non-controlling interest, and (iii) allocate the purchase consideration to all tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their acquisition date fair values. Further, the Company commenced reporting the results of Spyglass on a consolidated basis with those of the Company effective upon the date of the acquisition.

The Company consolidated Bandolier as of May 30, 2014, and the results of operations of the Company include that of Bandolier from June 1, 2014.

On May 3, 2016, the Company consummated the acquisition of Horizon Investments (the " Horizon Acquisition "), which was majority owned by the Company's Chief Executive Officer. Accordingly, the transaction was recorded at historical cost. As a result of the acquisition, the Company acquired: (i) a 20% membership interest in Horizon Energy, which in turn holds working interests in oil and gas properties; (ii) three promissory notes issued by the Company to Horizon Investments in the principal amount of $1.6 million (the " Horizon Notes "); (iii) a restricted certificate of deposit; and (iv) certain bank, investment and other accounts maintained by Horizon Investments.  The Horizon Acquisition was completed in accordance with the term and conditions of the Conditional Purchase Agreement first entered into by the Company and Horizon Investments on December 1, 2015. Also on the closing date, the Company and Horizon Investments entered into an amended and restated purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide for additional advances by Horizon Investments to the Company.

As consideration for the Horizon Acquisition, and in accordance with the purchase agreement, as amended, the Company issued 11,564,249 shares of its common stock on the closing date, which amount included 1,395,916 additional shares of common stock in consideration for the additional cash, receivables and other assets reflected on Horizon Investment's balance sheet on the closing date.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired:

On October 15, 2015, the Company entered into a contribution agreement (the " Contribution Agreement ") with MegaWest and Fortis Property Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (" Fortis "), pursuant to which the Company and Fortis each agreed to contribute certain assets to MegaWest in exchange for shares of MegaWest common stock (" MegaWest Shares ") (the " MegaWest Transaction ").

Upon execution of the Contribution Agreement, (i) the Company transferred its 50% membership interest in Bandolier (the  "Bandolier Interest" ), and cancelled all of its ownership interest in the then issued and outstanding MegaWest Shares, which prior to the MegaWest Transaction represented 100% ownership of MegaWest; and (ii) Fortis transferred the rights to any profits and proceeds from the sale of 30 condominium units owned by Fortis.  Immediately thereafter, MegaWest issued to the Company 58,510 MegaWest Shares, representing a 58.51% equity interest in MegaWest, as consideration for the assignment of the Bandolier Interest, and issued to Fortis 41,490 MegaWest Shares, representing a 41.49% equity interest in MegaWest, as consideration for the assets assigned to MegaWest by Fortis.  

The account receivable and the Company's interest in real estate reflected on the Company's balance sheet are assets held by MegaWest, and are controlled by MegaWest's board of directors, consisting of two members appointed by Fortis, and one by the Company. The relative composition of the board of directors of MegaWest shall continue as long as Fortis has an equity interest in MegaWest. See further discussion in Notes 11 and 16.

During the years ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, Fortis sold four and 25 condominium units, respectively, and MegaWest recorded a net gain on interest in real estate rights of $1,689,274 and $10,474,713, respectively. As of April 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company had an accounts receivable – related party in the amount of $2,124,260 and $4,829,693, respectively, related to interest in real estate rights of condominium units sold. 

Since December 2015, the Company has entered into nine promissory note agreements with Fortis with aggregate principal amounts of $24,786,382. The notes receivable bear interest at an annual rate of 3% and mature on December 31, 2017. As of April 31, 2017 and 2016, the outstanding balance of the notes receivable was $24,786,382 and $17,848,000, respectively.

As discussed in Note 5, MegaWest received an interest in real estate rights of 30 condominium units from Fortis pursuant to the Megawest Transaction.  During the years ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized a net gain of $1,689,274 and $10,474,713, respectively, related to the sale of four and 25 condominium units by Fortis.

The following table summarizes the activity for interest in real estate rights:

The following table summarizes the oil and gas assets by project:

(1) Other property consists primarily of four used steam generators and related equipment that will be assigned to future projects. As of April 30, 2017 and 2016, management concluded that impairment was not necessary as all other assets were carried at salvage value.

Kern County Project.   On March 4, 2016, the Company executed an Asset Purchase and Sale and Exploration Agreement to acquire a 13.75% working interest in certain oil and gas leases located in southern Kern County, California. Horizon Energy also purchased a 27.5% working interest in the project.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid $108,333 to the sellers on the closing date, and is obligated to pay certain other costs and expenses after the closing date related to existing and new leases as more particularly set forth in the agreement. As of April 30, 2016, exploratory activity had not commenced and the $108,333 was recorded as prepaid oil and gas development costs on the consolidated balance sheet.  In addition, the sellers are entitled to an overriding royalty interest in certain existing and new leases acquired after the closing date, and the Company is required to make certain other payments, each in amounts set forth in the agreement.

Acquisition of Interest in Larne Basin.   On January 19, 2016, Petro River UK Limited, (" Petro UK "), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Farmout Agreement to acquire a 9% interest in Petroleum License PL 1/10 and P2123 (the " Larne Licenses ") located in the Larne Basin in Northern Ireland (the " Larne Transaction ").  The two Larne Licenses, one onshore and one offshore, together encompass approximately 130,000 acres covering the large majority of the prospective Larne Basin.  The other parties to the Farmout Agreement are Southwestern Resources Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Horizon Energy, which will acquire a 16% interest, and Brigantes Energy Limited, which will retain a 10% interest.  Third parties will own the remaining 65% interest.

Under the terms of the Farmout Agreement, Petro UK deposited approximately $735,000 into an escrow agreement (" Escrow Agreement "), which amount represented Petro UK's obligation to fund the total projected cost to drill the first well under the terms of the Farmout Agreement. As of April 30, 2016, development of the first well had not commenced and the escrow payment was recorded as prepaid oil and gas development costs on the consolidated balance sheet. The total deposited amount to fund the cost to drill the first well is approximately $6,159,452, based on an exchange rate of one British Pound for 1.44 U.S. Dollars. Petro UK was and will continue to be responsible for its pro-rata costs of additional wells drilled under the Farmout Agreement. Drilling of the first well was completed in June 2016.

Oklahoma Properties.  During the year ended April 30, 2016, the Company paid approximately $403,000 and $85,000 for proven and unproven oil and gas assets, respectively. During the year ended April 30, 2016, the Company disposed of some of its interests in its Oklahoma oil and gas assets and received proceeds totaling $279,013. The proceeds were offset against the full cost pool, therefore no gain or loss was recognized.

Divestiture of Kansas Properties.  Effective December 23, 2015, Petro River Oil, LLC (" Petro LLC "), a wholly owned subsidiary of Megawest, divested various interests in oil and gas leases, wells, records, data and related personal property located along the Mississippi Lime play in the state of Kansas, which assets were acquired by Petro LLC in 2012. In connection with the divestiture, the assignee and purchaser of the interests agreed to pay outstanding liabilities, including unpaid taxes, and assume certain responsibilities to plug any abandoned wells. No cash consideration was paid for the interests.  The Company recorded a loss of $7,519,460 in connection with the divestiture of these oil and gas properties, representing the $7,727,287 oil and gas assets book value, partially offset by the asset retirement obligation liability. MegaWest is a 58.51% owned subsidiary of the Company following consummation of the MegaWest Transaction, defined above.

Impairment of Oil & Gas Properties.  As of April 30, 2017, the Company assessed its oil and gas assets for impairment and recognized a charge of $20,942 related to the Oklahoma oil and gas property. As of April 30, 2016, the Company assessed its oil and gas assets for impairment and recognized a charge of $5,951,622 related to the Oklahoma and Missouri oil and gas properties.

Acquisition of Havelide and Coalthane Assets.   On February 18, 2015, Petro Spring I, LLC (" Petro Spring I "), a Delaware limited liability company wholly owned by Petro Spring, entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement (" Havelide Purchase Agreement ") to purchase substantially all of the assets of Havelide GTL LLC (" Havelide ") and Coalthane Tech LLC (" Coalthane "), consisting of certain patents and other intellectual property, trade secrets, and assets developed and owned by Havelide to produce a gasoline-like liquid and high-purity hydrogen from natural gas, at low temperature and at low pressure (the " Havelide Assets ") and consisting of certain patents and other intellectual property, trade secrets, and assets developed and owned by Coalthane to reduce the methane from coal mines and other wells (the " Coalthane Assets ").  The purchase of the Coalthane and Havelide Assets was consummated on February 27, 2015.  The acquisitions reflect the increased focus on technology solutions in an effort to diversify the Company's business amid a challenging oil price environment.  

As of April 30, 2016, the Company did not have adequate capital to fund additional development of the intangibles and therefore the Company has been unable to identify near-term opportunities to commercialize the technology. As of April 30, 2016, the Company performed an impairment assessment on the intangible assets and recognized an impairment charge of $2,082,941.

The Company recorded amortization expense of $0 and $120,452 for the years ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The total future asset retirement obligation was estimated based on the Company's ownership interest in all wells and facilities, the estimated legal obligations required to retire, dismantle, abandon and reclaim the wells and facilities and the estimated timing of such payments. The Company estimated the present value of its asset retirement obligations at both April 30, 2017 and 2016, based on a future undiscounted liability of $639,755 and $956,612, respectively. These costs are expected to be incurred within one to 24 years. A credit-adjusted risk-free discount rate of 10% and an inflation rate of 2% were used to calculate the present value.

Changes to the asset retirement obligation were as follows:

Expected timing of asset retirement obligations:

As of April 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company had $0 of reclamation deposits with authorities to secure certain abandonment liabilities.  

Employment Agreements

On October 30, 2015, Mr. Stephen Brunner joined the Company as President. Mr. Brunner has been tasked with making oil and gas related decisions and executing the Company's growth strategy. Under the terms of the contract, Mr. Brunner receives a base salary of $10,000 per month. Mr. Brunner was also granted 53,244 stock options. He also has the right to purchase an additional 1.75% of the Company's common stock subject to shareholder approval on the increase of the current stock option plan and achieving pre-defined target objectives.

The Company computed the fair value of the grant as of the date of grant utilizing a Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions: common share value based on the fair value of the Company's common stock as quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, $1.78; exercise price of $2.00; expected volatility of 171%; and a discount rate of 2.16%. The grant date fair value of the award was $89,525. For the year ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company expensed $24,404 and $29,974 respectively, to general and administrative expenses.

On October 15, 2015, the Company entered into the Contribution Agreement with MegaWest and Fortis pursuant to which the Company and Fortis each agreed to contribute certain assets to MegaWest in exchange for shares of MegaWest common stock. See Note 5 above.

Upon execution of the Contribution Agreement, Fortis transferred certain indirect interests held in 30 condominium units and the rights to any profits and proceeds therefrom, with its basis of $15,544,382, to MegaWest. As of April 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company had an accounts receivable – related party in the amount of $2,123,175 and $4,829,693, respectively, which was due from Fortis for the profits belonging to MegaWest, see Note 5 above.  

Notes Receivable – Related Party

As discussed in Note 6, the Company entered into nine promissory note agreements with Fortis, with total principal amounts of $24,786,382. The notes receivable bear interest at an annual interest rate of 3% and mature on December 31, 2017. For the year ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded $797,710 and $170,653 of interest income on the notes receivable, respectively. As of April 30, 2017 and 2016, the outstanding balance of the notes receivable was $24,786,382 and $17,848,000, respectively.

The realization and availability of proceeds from the Company's interests in real estate and amounts receivable from Fortis under the Contribution Agreement are dependent upon the value attributed to the Bandolier prospects in the Redetermination following completion of the evaluation of the Bandolier prospects, which is expected before December 31, 2017.  In the event the valuation of the Bandolier prospects results in a shortfall under the Contribution Agreement, Fortis has the right to revert its interests in MegaWest to the Company and the Company would record a loss for the amount of the notes receivable ($24,786,382), interest in real estate rights ($309,860), accounts receivable ($2,123,175) and any accrued interest.  The Company has not recorded a reserve for the potential loss attributable to the Redetermination.

On December 1, 2015, the Company issued a non-recourse promissory note, in the principal amount of $750,000 to Horizon Investments ( "Note A" ), the proceeds of which were to be used for working capital purposes.

On January 13, 2016, the Company issued a second non-recourse promissory note in the principal amount of $750,000 (" Note B ") to Horizon Investments. All of the proceeds from Note B were used to fund Petro UK's obligations under the terms of the Farmout Agreement, and were deposited into the Escrow Agreement. The principal and all accrued and unpaid interest on Note B was due upon the earlier to occur of closing of the transactions contemplated under the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Amounts due under the terms of Note B accrued interest at an annual rate equal to one half of one percent.

On April 7, 2016, the Company issued a third non-recourse promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000 (" Note C ") to Horizon Investments.

The following table summarizes information about the options outstanding and exercisable for the years ended April 30, 2017 and 2016:

The following table summarizes information about the options outstanding and exercisable at April 30, 2017:

Aggregate Intrinsic Value

During the years ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company expensed an aggregate $2,178,716 and $1,593,349 to general and administrative expenses for stock-based compensation pursuant to employment and consulting agreements.

As of April 30, 2017, the Company has $1,358,143 in unrecognized stock-based compensation expense which will be amortized over a weighted average exercise period of 2.5 years.

There were no changes of the Company's warrants during the year ended April 30, 2017. The aggregate intrinsic value of the outstanding warrants was $0.

For the years ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, the changes in the Company's non–controlling interest was as follows:

As of April 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $3.9 million of net operating loss carryovers (" NOLs ") which expire beginning in 2027. The U.S. net operating loss carryovers are subject to limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 should there be a greater than 50% ownership change as determined under the regulations. Management has determined that a change in ownership occurred as a result of the Share Exchange on April 23, 2013. Therefore, the net operating loss carryovers are subject to an annual limitation of approximately $156,000. The Company impaired the NOLs at the time of the change of ownership. Further the Company was limited in the recognition of a pre-acquisition loss deduction due to a net built in loss in 2015 at the time of the ownership change.

The income tax expense (benefit) consists of the following:

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on this assessment management has established a full valuation allowance against all of the deferred tax assets for every period, since it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company's deferred tax assets (liabilities) consisted of the effects of temporary differences attributable to the following:

The expected tax expense (benefit) based on the statutory rate is reconciled with actual tax expense benefit as follows:

Pending Litigation.

(a) In January 2010, the Company experienced a flood in its Calgary office premises as a result of a broken water pipe. There was significant damage to the premises rendering them unusable until the landlord had completed remediation. Pursuant to the lease contract, the Company asserted that rent should be abated during the remediation process and accordingly, the Company did not pay any rent after December 2009. During the remediation process, the Company engaged an independent environmental testing company to test for air quality and for the existence of other potentially hazardous conditions. The testing revealed the existence of potentially hazardous mold and the consultant provided specific written instructions for the effective remediation of the premises. During the remediation process, the landlord did not follow the consultant's instructions and correct the potentially hazardous mold situation and subsequently in June 2010 gave notice and declared the premises to be ready for occupancy. The Company re-engaged the consultant to re-test the premises and the testing results again revealed the presence of potentially hazardous mold. The Company determined that the premises were not fit for re-occupancy and considered the landlord to be in default of the lease. The Landlord subsequently terminated the lease.

On January 30, 2014, the landlord filed a Statement of Claim against the Company for rental arrears in the amount aggregating CAD $759,000 (approximately USD $605,000 as of July 24, 2017). The Company filed a defense and on October 20, 2014, it filed a summary judgment application stating that the landlord's claim is barred as it was commenced outside the 2-year statute of limitation period under the Alberta Limitations Act. The landlord subsequently filed a cross-application to amend its Statement of Claim to add a claim for loss of prospective rent in an amount of CAD $665,000 (approximately USD $530,000 as of July 24, 2017). The applications were heard on June 25, 2015  and the court allowed both the Company's summary judgment application and the landlord's amendment application.  Both of these orders were appealed though two levels of the Alberta courts and the appeals were dismissed at both levels. The net effect is that the landlord's claim for loss of prospective rent is to proceed.

(b) In September 2013, the Company was notified by the Railroad Commission of Texas (the " Commission ") that the Company was not in compliance with regulations promulgated by the Commission. The Company was therefore deemed to have lost its corporate privileges within the State of Texas and as a result, all wells within the state would have to be plugged. The Commission therefore collected $25,000 from the Company, which was originally deposited with the Commission, to cover a portion of the estimated costs of $88,960 to plug the wells. In addition to the above, the Commission also reserved its right to separately seek any remedies against the Company resulting from its noncompliance.

(c) On August 11, 2014, Martha Donelson and John Friend amended their complaint in an existing lawsuit by filing a class action complaint styled:  Martha Donelson and John Friend, et al. v. United States of America, Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs and Devon Energy Production, LP, et al.,  Case No. 14-CV-316-JHP-TLW, United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma (the " Proceeding ").  The plaintiffs added as defendants twenty-seven (27) specifically named operators, including Spyglass, as well as all Osage County lessees and operators who have obtained a concession agreement, lease or drilling permit approved by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (" BIA ") in Osage County allegedly in violation of National Environmental Policy Act (" NEPA ").  Plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment that the BIA improperly approved oil and gas leases, concession agreements and drilling permits prior to August 12, 2014, without satisfying the BIA's obligations under federal regulations or NEPA, and seek a determination that such oil and gas leases, concession agreements and drilling permits are void  ab initio .  Plaintiffs are seeking damages against the defendants for alleged nuisance, trespass, negligence and unjust enrichment.  The potential consequences of such complaint could jeopardize the corresponding leases.

On October 7, 2014, Spyglass, along with other defendants, filed a Motion to Dismiss the August 11, 2014 Amended Complaint on various procedural and legal grounds. Following the significant briefing, the Court, on March 31, 2016, granted the Motion to Dismiss as to all defendants and entered a judgment in favor of the defendants against the plaintiffs. On April 14, 2016, Spyglass with the other defendants, filed a Motion seeking its attorneys' fees and costs. The motion remains pending. On April 28, 2016, the plaintiffs filed three motions: a Motion to Amend or Alter the Judgment; a Motion to Amend the Complaint; and a Motion to Vacate Order. On November 23, 2016, the Court denied all three of Plaintiffs' motions.  On December 6, 2016, Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals.  That appeal is pending as of the effective date of this response. There is no specific timeline by which the Court of Appeals must render a ruling. Spyglass intends to continue to vigorously defend its interest in this matter. 

(d) MegaWest Energy Missouri Corp. (" MegaWest Missouri "), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is involved in two cases related to oil leases in West Central, Missouri.  The first case ( James Long and Jodeane Long v. MegaWest Energy Missouri and Petro River Oil Corp. , case number 13B4-CV00019)  is a case for unlawful detainer, pursuant to which the plaintiffs contend that MegaWest Missouri oil and gas lease has expired and MegaWest Missouri is unlawfully possessing the plaintiffs' real property by asserting that the leases remain in effect.  The case was originally filed in Vernon County, Missouri on September 20, 2013.  MegaWest Missouri filed an Answer and Counterclaims on November 26, 2013 and the plaintiffs filed a motion to dismiss the counterclaims. MegaWest Missouri filed a motion for Change of Judge and Change of Venue and the case was transferred to Barton County.  The court granted the motion to dismiss the counterclaims on February 3, 2014.   As to the other allegations in the complaint, the matter is still pending.

MegaWest Missouri filed a second case on October 14, 2014 ( MegaWest Energy Missouri Corp. v. James Long, Jodeane Long, and Arrow Mines LLC , case number 14VE-CV00599).  This case is pending in Vernon County, Missouri.  Although the two cases are separate, they are interrelated.  In the Vernon County case, MegaWest Missouri has made claims for: (1) replevin for personal property; (2) conversion of personal property; (3) breach of the covenant of quiet enjoyment regarding the lease; (4) constructive eviction of the lease; (5) breach of fiduciary obligation against James Long; (6) declaratory judgment that the oil and gas lease did not terminate; and (7) injunctive relief to enjoin the action pending in Barton County, Missouri.  The plaintiffs filed a motion to dismiss on November 4, 2014, and Arrow Mines, LLC filed a motion to dismiss on November 13, 2014.  Both motions remain pending, and MegaWest Missouri will file an opposition to the motions in the near future. 

The Company is from time to time involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. It does not believe that any of these claims and proceedings against it is likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Redetermination of Bandolier Interest.

In connection with the Contribution Agreement, entered into by and between the Company, MegaWest and Fortis (see Note 5), the parties agreed to a redetermination of the fair market value of the Bandolier Interest at any time following the six month anniversary after the execution thereof (the " Redetermination ").  Upon a Redetermination, which has not occurred as of July 28, 2017, but is anticipated prior to December 31, 2017, in the event there is a shortfall from the valuation ascribed to the Bandolier Interest at the time of the Redetermination, as compared to the value ascribed to the Bandolier Interest in the Contribution Agreement, the Company will be required to provide Fortis with a cash payment in an amount equal to the shortfall.  If the Company is unable to deliver to Fortis the cash payment required after the Redetermination, if any, the board of directors of MegaWest shall have the right to exercise certain remedies against the Company, including a right to foreclose on the Company's entire equity in MegaWest, which equity interest has been pledged to Fortis under the terms of the Contribution Agreement.  In the event of foreclosure, the Bandolier Interest would revert back to the Company, and the Company would record a loss for the amount of the notes receivable, interest in real estate rights, accounts receivable – related party, and any accrued interest.
