Organization And Liquidity | |
Organization | 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 focused on taking advantage of the current downturn in oil prices to enter highly prospective plays with 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.
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 Companys oil and gas assets. No assurances can be given that management will be successful.
Recent Developments
Reverse Stock Split. On December 7, 2015 (the Effective Date), the Company effected a one (1) for two hundred (200) reverse split of its issued and outstanding common stock (the Reverse Split), and, immediately following the Reverse Split, filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State to increase the Company's authorized number of shares of common stock to 100.0 million. Shareholders approved the reverse stock split at the Companys annual meeting of shareholders held on July 8, 2015, and the specific ratio was subsequently determined at a meeting of the Company's Board of Directors on November 11, 2015.
As a result of the Reverse Split, all historical share amounts disclosed in this prospectus have been retrospectively recast to reflect the share exchange. No fractional shares were issued, with fractional shares of common stock were rounded up to the nearest whole share.
Megawest Transaction. On October 15, 2015, the Company entered into a contribution agreement (the Contribution Agreement), with Megawest and Fortis Property Group, LLC (Fortis), a Delaware limited liability company, 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 Energy, LLC (the Bandolier Interest), with net assets of $7,119,798, 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, with a book value of $15,544,382, to Megawest. 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. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Contribution Agreement, following six months after the execution of the Contribution Agreement, the board of Megawest will engage in a valuation of the Companys contribution to determine the fair market value (the Redetermination). Any shortfall from the initial valuation at contribution resulting from the Redetermination shall be required to be funded by the Company. The board of Megawest shall have certain remedies to exercise against the Company (including a right to foreclose on all of the Companys equity in Megawest) upon a failure by the Company to fund the shortfall following the Redetermination. In the event of foreclosure, the Bandolier Interest would revert back to the Company. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Significant Accounting Policies | The unaudited consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations for the periods presented. This report should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on August 13, 2015. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnote disclosure, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2015 has been omitted. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending April 30, 2016.
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 Companys 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.
Pursuant to FASB ASC paragraph 310-10-35-47 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. The Company follows FASB ASC paragraphs 310-10-35-7 through 310-10-35-10 to estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts. Pursuant to FASB ASC paragraph 310-10-35-9, 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 (as discussed in Section 855-10-25) 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 customers 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 clients ability to pay. Bad debt expense is included in general and administrative expenses, if any.
Pursuant to FASB ASC paragraph 310-10-35-41 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 January 31, 2016 and April 30, 2015 was $0 and $0, respectively.
Real estate for which the Company commits to a plan to sell within one year and actively markets in its current condition for a reasonable price in comparison to its estimated fair value is classified as held-for-sale. Real estate held-for-sale is stated at the lower of depreciated cost or estimated fair value less expected disposition costs and is not depreciated.
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 three and nine months ended January 31, 2015, potentially dilutive securities were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2016, the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants was 0 because all options and warrants outstanding were out of money.
The Company had the following common stock equivalents at January 31, 2016 and 2015:
Income Tax Provision
The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. 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 adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Section 740-10-25). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, 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. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.
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 managements 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.
During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2016, the Company recorded an accrued income tax liability of $1,330,755.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the reporting period ended January 31, 2016 or 2015.
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. |

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 Companys 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 PWIGs 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 Companys 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% noncontrolling interest represents the equity investment from PWIG and Ranger Station.

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.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Contingency and Contractual Obligations | (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 consultants 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 and the lease terminated.
On January 30, 2014, the landlord filed a Statement of Claim against the Company for rental arrears in the amount aggregating approximately CAD $759,000 (approximately USD $536,500 as of January 31, 2016). On October 20, 2014, the Company filed a summary judgment application stating that the landlords 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 approximately CAD $665,000 (approximately USD $475,700 as of January 31, 2016). The applications were heard on June 25, 2015. The court reserved its decision and there is no specific timeline by which it must render a ruling as of the date of this filing.
(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. As of the date of this filing, there is no further update to the issue.
(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 the Company, 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 BIAs 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.
On October 7, 2014, Spyglass, along with other defendants, filed a motion to dismiss the August 11, 2014 Proceeding on various procedural and legal arguments. Plaintiffs filed their response to the motion to dismiss on October 27, 2014. Spyglass filed its reply brief on November 10, 2014 and the plaintiffs were granted leave until November 19, 2014 to file a reply to Spyglass reply brief. Once the briefing cycle concluded on November 19, 2014, the motion to dismiss became ripe for determination by the court. Oral arguments may be ordered by the court. As of the date of this filing, there is no specific timeline by which the court must render a ruling.
(d) Mega West 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. Mega West 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 (Mega West 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.
(e) The Company is from time to time involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company 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. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | Kern County Project. On March 4, 2016 (the "Closing Date"), 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 (the "Project"). Horizon Energy also purchased a 27.5% working interest in the Project. The Company is currently a party to a conditional purchase agreement to acquire Horizon Investments, as more particularly described in Note 4 Business Acquisitions, which owns a 20% interest in Horizon Energy. The acquisition is expected to close in April 2016.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid $83,333 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. In addition, the sellers are entitled to an overriding royalty interest in certain existing and new leases acquired after the Closing Date. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | 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 Companys 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. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Receivables | Pursuant to FASB ASC paragraph 310-10-35-47 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. The Company follows FASB ASC paragraphs 310-10-35-7 through 310-10-35-10 to estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts. Pursuant to FASB ASC paragraph 310-10-35-9, 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 (as discussed in Section 855-10-25) 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 customers 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 clients ability to pay. Bad debt expense is included in general and administrative expenses, if any.
Pursuant to FASB ASC paragraph 310-10-35-41 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 January 31, 2016 and April 30, 2015 was $0 and $0, respectively. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Real Estate - Held for Sale | Real estate for which the Company commits to a plan to sell within one year and actively markets in its current condition for a reasonable price in comparison to its estimated fair value is classified as held-for-sale. Real estate held-for-sale is stated at the lower of depreciated cost or estimated fair value less expected disposition costs and is not depreciated. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Per Share Amounts | 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 three and nine months ended January 31, 2015, potentially dilutive securities were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2016, the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants was 0 because all options and warrants outstanding were out of money.
The Company had the following common stock equivalents at January 31, 2016 and 2015:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Income Tax Provision | The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. 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 adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Section 740-10-25). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, 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. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.
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 managements 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.
During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2016, the Company recorded an accrued income tax liability of $1,330,755. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Uncertain Tax Positions | The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the reporting period ended January 31, 2016 or 2015. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | 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. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Subsequent Events | The Company has evaluated all transactions through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued for subsequent event disclosure consideration. |
