PETRO RIVER OIL CORP.

[__________] Shares of Common Stock

OFFERED BY PETRO RIVER OIL CORP.

Offering Made Without an Underwriter

We are offering [_________] shares of our common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, in a self-underwritten public offering (the “Offering”).

This Offering will be conducted on a self-underwritten, best efforts basis, which means this prospectus will permit our officers and directors to sell the shares directly to the public, with no commission or other remuneration payable to them for any shares they may sell. There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold by us for the Offering to close, and therefore we may receive no proceeds or very minimal proceeds from the Offering. The aggregate offering price of all securities sold under this Offering may not exceed [___________]. We will retain the proceeds from the sale of any of the offered shares that are sold. However, we may not sell the shares to the public until the Registration Statement, of which this prospectus is a part, is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

We have no arrangement to place the proceeds from this Offering in an escrow, trust or similar account. Any funds raised from sales of shares to the public pursuant to this Offering will be immediately available to us for our use and retained by us regardless of whether or not there are any additional sales under this Offering. You will not have the right to withdraw your funds during the Offering. We may offer and sell these securities through any method described under “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus.

The Offering will terminate upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the sale of all [________] shares being offered, or (ii) 365 days after the Registration Statement containing this prospectus is declared effective by the SEC.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See "Risk factors" beginning on page __ of this prospectus.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus and does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should carefully read this prospectus in its entirety before investing in our common stock, including the section entitled “Risk factors” and our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Overview

We are an enterprise engaged in the exploration and exploitation of conventional and unconventional oil and gas assets with a focus on drilling, completion, recompletions and applying modern technologies. Our core holdings and principal operations are in the mid-continent region of the United States in Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri. We are driven to utilize our expertise both in the mid-continent region and in similar formations to exploit hydrocarbon prone resources with tight and/or challenging characteristics in order to create value for the Company and our shareholders. Our principal administrative office is located in Houston, Texas and its principal operations are in Oklahoma, Kansas and Western Missouri. The Company also has an office in New York, New York.

Our operations are currently focused on exploring and producing in the Mississippian Lime play. Our heavy oil reservoirs in this area are currently in technical review. We have an extensive amount of technical and reservoir information on our Missouri, Oklahoma and Kentucky positions. The data is being utilized in the understanding and test phases to develop an economic heavy oil production reserve base. In addition to our current research and development efforts, we are in discussions with industry partners to capitalize on and develop acreage in the Mississippian Lime, including possible joint venture partners and acquisition targets.

Recent Developments

Acquisition of Interest in Bandolier Energy, LLC. On May 30, 2014, we entered into a Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which we received a 50% interest in Bandolier Energy, LLC (“Bandolier”) in exchange for a capital contribution of $5,000,000 (the “Bandolier Acquisition”).

After the Bandolier Acquisition, Bandolier acquired 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, effective January 1, 2014, for a purchase price of approximately $8.7 million. Spyglass comprises the largest 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 3D seismic, 3 phase power, a dedicated sub-station as well as multiple oil producing horizontal wells.

As a result of the Bandolier Acquisition and Bandolier’s subsequent acquisition of Spyglass, we now have both proven developed and proven undeveloped oil and gas assets.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this prospectus, including our financial statements and related notes, before deciding whether to purchase shares of our common stock. If any of the following risks are realized, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the price of our common stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Relating to Our Business

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 continue to decline. In the event such decline continues 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 have substantially declined. 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 the recent substantial decline in oil and gas prices continues for a prolonged period of time 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 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 not established a project on any of our properties that generates commercial revenues and 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 do not have much capital, we may have to limit our exploration activity which may result in a loss of your investment.

Because we are small and do not have much capital, 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 reserves, we cannot generate revenues and you will lose your investment.

We had cash and cash equivalents at October 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014 of $2,749,928 and $8,352,949, respectively as compared to $4,184,036 and $5,703,082 at October 31, 2013 and April 30, 2013, respectively. At October 31, 2014, we had a working capital of approximately $2.4 million. Management believes that the current level of working capital is sufficient to maintain current operations in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma, as well as the planned added operations for the next 12 months. Management intends to continue to raise 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.

-6-

Table of Contents

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/will 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.

-7-

Table of Contents

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:

	●	from a well or drilling equipment at a drill site;

	●	leakage from gathering systems, pipelines, transportation facilities and storage tanks;

-8-

Table of Contents

	●	damage to oil and natural gas wells resulting from accidents during normal operations; and

	●	blowouts, cratering and explosions.

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.

Risks Relating to Our Financial Position and Capital Requirements

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

We incurred a net loss of $2,816,568 and $8,953,529 for the six-months ended October 31, 2014 and year ended April 30, 2014, respectively. To date, we have acquired interests in oil and gas properties, but have not established a project on any of our properties that generates commercial revenues. We cannot assure you that we can achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. 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 Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma properties are in early stages of development, we may not be able to establish commercial reserves on these projects. 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. As of January 31, 2015, only a portion of the reserves associated with the Missouri Marmaton River and Grassy Creek projects are classified as developed and production activities have been suspended since September 2011, and, although the Bandolier Acquisition provided us with both proven developed and proven undeveloped oil and gas assets, we are still in need of substantial capital to commence drilling operations. Management determined that these properties were impaired and continues to seek funding so that the Company can consider future development of its heavy oil properties. We may not be able to establish commercial reserves and it is therefore considered to be an exploration stage company.

If we are unable to obtain funding, either through the Offering or otherwise, our business operations will be harmed.

We will require additional capital to continue to operate our business and to further expand our exploration and development programs, whether through the Offering or otherwise. 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 may 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.

In addition to the Offering, 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 during the Offering, and, if the Offering is not successful, we may not obtain the capital we require by other means. This may adversely affect our consolidated financial results, financial condition and ability to continue as a going concern.

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:

	●	the level of domestic production;

	●	the availability of imported oil and natural gas;

	●	political and economic conditions and events in foreign oil and natural gas producing nations, including embargoes, continued hostilities in the Middle East and other sustained military campaigns, and acts of terrorism or sabotage;

	●	the ability of members of OPEC to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls;

	●	the cost and availability of transportation and pipeline systems with adequate capacity;

	●	the cost and availability of other competitive fuels;

	●	fluctuating and seasonal demand for oil, natural gas and refined products;

	●	concerns about global warming or other conservation initiatives and the extent of governmental price controls and regulation of production;

	●	weather;

	●	foreign and domestic government relations; and

	●	overall economic conditions, particularly the recent worldwide economic slowdown, which has put downward pressure on oil and natural gas prices and demand.

-10-

Table of Contents

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.

Our internal controls over financial reporting have been determined to not be effective, which could have a significant and adverse effect on our business.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations of the SEC, which we collectively refer to as “Section 404,” require us to evaluate our internal controls over financial reporting to allow management to report on those internal controls as of the end of each year. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important in our effort to prevent financial fraud. In the course of our Section 404 evaluations, we have identified conditions that resulted in significant deficiencies or material weaknesses and we have concluded that enhancements, modifications or changes to our internal controls are necessary or desirable. Implementing any such matters would divert the attention of our management, could involve significant costs, and may negatively impact our results of operations.

We note that there are inherent limitations on the effectiveness of internal controls, as they cannot prevent collusion, management override or failure of human judgment. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls or if management or our independent registered public accounting firm were to discover material weaknesses in our internal controls, we may be unable to produce reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, and it could harm our financial condition and results of operations, result in a loss of investor confidence and negatively impact our share price.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

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 Markets. 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 Markets 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 Security and Exchange Commission’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 Securities and Exchange Commission (“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.

-11-

Table of Contents

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, 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.

The market price for our shares may decline following the implementation of a Reverse Split.

In the event we affect a Reverse Split of our authorized, and issued and outstanding shares of common stock prior to consummation of the Offering, no assurances can be given that the Reverse Split will have a long-term positive effect on the market price of our common stock. The market price of our common stock is based on factors that may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. These factors include our performance, general economic and market conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. The market price for our post-split shares may not rise or remain constant in proportion to the reduction in the number of pre-split shares outstanding before the Reverse Split. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our common stock after a Reverse Split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the Reverse Split.

Risks Related to this Offering

There is no minimum offering and therefore your investment may be used even though such investment will not satisfy our capital requirements to complete any project.

We have not specified a minimum offering amount and there is no escrow account in operation. Because there is no escrow account and no minimum offering amount, investors could be in a position where they have invested in our company, but we are unable to fulfill our objectives or proceed with our operations due to a lack of interest in this offering. If this were to occur, we may be forced to curtail or abandon our operations with a loss to investors who purchase stock under this prospectus. Further, because there is no escrow account in operation and no minimum investment amount, any proceeds from the sale of shares offered by the Company will be available for immediate use by the Company, despite not being able to use such funds to effectively implement the Company’s business plan. Investors funds will not be returned under any circumstances whether during or after the offering.

Table of Contents

We may, in the future, issue additional common shares and/ or preferred stock, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

Our Certificate of Incorporation permits us to issue up to 2.25 billion shares of common stock. As of January 8, 2015, we had 818,567,746 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and, if we sell all shares registered in connection with the Offering, we will have ________ shares issued and outstanding. Accordingly, assuming we sell all shares registered in connection with the Offering, we may issue up to an additional ________ shares of common stock. The future issuance of common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.

In addition to common stock, our Certificate of Incorporation permits us to issue up to 5.0 million shares of preferred stock. Our board of directors could authorize the issuance of additional series of preferred stock in the future and such preferred stock could grant holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends would be declared to holders of our common stock, and the right to the redemption of such shares, possibly together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the common stock. In the event and to the extent that we do issue additional preferred stock in the future, the rights of holders of our common stock could be impaired thereby, including without limitation, with respect to liquidation.

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this Offering and may not use them effectively.

We will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this Offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. We intend to use the net proceeds from this Offering for funding our operations; research and product development activities; for property, plant and equipment; for drilling existing and new wells; and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of our net proceeds to acquire or invest in complementary businesses or other assets; however, we currently have no agreements or commitments to complete any such transaction. We have not allocated these net proceeds for any specific purposes. We might not be able to yield a significant return, if any, on any investment of these net proceeds. You will not have the opportunity to influence our management’s decisions on how to use the net proceeds from this Offering, and our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, delay the development of our product candidates and cause the price of our common stock to decline.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus includes forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this prospectus other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans, and our objectives for future operations, are forward- looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward- looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this prospectus may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward- looking statements.

The principal purposes of this Offering are to obtain additional working capital and improve the public market for our common stock. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds of this Offering. However, assuming total net proceeds of $[______] from this Offering, we intend to use the net proceeds from this Offering for future strategic acquisitions and funding our operations, approximately as follows: (i) [____]; (ii) [____]; (iii) [___]; and (iv) [___].

Pending other uses, we intend to invest our proceeds in short-term investments or hold them as cash. We cannot predict whether the proceeds invested will yield a favorable return.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the near future. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors, subject to applicable law, and will depend on then existing conditions, including our financial condition, operating results, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

DILUTION

If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this Offering. As of [______ ___, 2015 our pro forma net tangible book value was approximately $([___]) million, or $([____]) per share of common stock. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by shares of common stock outstanding.

Dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by buyers of shares of our common stock in this Offering and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately following this Offering. After giving effect to the receipt of the net proceeds from our sale of shares of common stock in this Offering at an assumed public offering price of $[___] per share, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of _______ __, 2015, would have been approximately $(__) million, or $(__) per share of common stock. This data represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $[___] per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $[___] per share to new investors purchasing shares at the public offering price.

The following table illustrates the per share dilution to investors in this Offering:

Assumed public offering price per share			$	[___]
Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of ________ __, 2015	$	(___)
Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per share attributable to investors in this Offering		[___]

Less: Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of ______ __, 2015, as adjusted to give effect to this Offering			$	(___)

Pro forma as adjusted dilution per share to investors in this Offering			$	[___]

The following table shows, on the pro forma basis described above, the difference between existing stockholders and new investors in this Offering with respect to the number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid and the average price paid per share, before deducting estimated Offering expenses payable by us.

BUSINESS

Overview

We were 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”), our wholly owned subsidiary, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 3, 2011. 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 Mississippi Lime play in the state of Kansas from Metro Energy Corporation (“Metro”), a Louisiana company, and other interrelated entities, through a court approved order as Metro was undergoing Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceedings as a Debtor-In-Possession of these various oil and gas assets. Petro purchased these assets for cash consideration of $2,000,000 as well as a 25% non-managing membership interest in Petro. During the quarter ended October 31, 2014, we engaged Energy Source Advisors to renew a number of the leases acquired in the Metro purchase and to lease additional acreage. As a result of the asset purchase from Metro and the completion of the additional lease renewals and additional acreage purchases, we obtained a total of 115,000 gross (85,000 net acres) of leases, having unproven reserves at the time of acquisition, in the Mississippi Lime in Southeast Kansas for total cost of $12.2 million.

On April 23, 2013, the Company executed and consummated a securities purchase agreement by and among the Company, Petro, and the 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. Upon completion of the Share Exchange, Petro became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary.

As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company acquired 100% of the membership units of Petro and consequently, control of the business and operations of Petro. 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 is 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.

Recent Developments

As a result of the Bandolier Acquisition and Bandolier’s subsequent acquisition of Spyglass, we now have both proven developed and proven undeveloped oil and gas assets.

Strategy

Our business strategy is to acquire working interests in oil and gas producing areas. We believe such opportunities exist domestically and internationally. We also believe that these opportunities have considerable future potential for the development of proven oil and gas reserves. Such new reserves might come from the development of existing but as yet undeveloped and/or unproved reserves as well as from future success in exploration.

When and if funding becomes available, we plan to acquire high-quality oil and gas properties, primarily “proved producing and proved undeveloped reserves.” We will also explore low-risk development drilling and work-over opportunities.

Competition

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.

Compliance with 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.

Environmental Regulations

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.

Operating Hazards and Insurance

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.

Research and Development

We do not currently, and did not previously, have any research and development policies in place. The Company formed Petro Spring, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, on December 12, 2013, to begin to focus on technology solutions. As of January 31, 2015, no funds were expended by our Company on research and development activities.

Employees

At January 31, 2015, we employed four employees.

Geographical Area of the Company’s Business

The principal market that we compete in is the North American energy market, specifically the North American oil market. The Company is currently contemplating expansion in to international energy markets.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

Oklahoma

On May 30, 2014, the Company completed the Bandolier Acquisition, 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 3D 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 proven developed oil and gas assets and $5,921,641 in proven undeveloped oil and gas assets.

Missouri

At January 31, 2015, the Company’s Missouri lease holdings totaled 1,272 gross acres with a 98.4% working interest.

On separate pilot projects at Deerfield, the Company built two 500 barrel of oil per day steam drive production facilities (Marmaton River and Grassy Creek) comprised of 116 production wells, 39 steam injection wells and 14 service and observation wells. Throughout the Deerfield area, the predecessor Company has drilled 73 exploration/delineation wells with a 67% success rate.

As of April 30, 2014 and 2013, all Missouri assets were carried at salvage value, since the Company’s current business plans do not contemplate raising the necessary capital to develop these properties. The company is in current discussions with third parties to use the acreage as a testing site for heavy oil solutions with contemplated profit sharing opportunities.

Kentucky

As a result of the acquisition of Perto as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, we acquired Kentucky lease holdings which include a 37.5 % working interest in 27,150 unproved gross acres (10,181 net acres). At January 8, 2015, the Kentucky lease holdings acquired as a result of the share exchange have expired.

Kansas

The Company has 105,277 gross/80,225 net acres in the Mississippi Lime play. The Company also acquired over 60 square miles of proprietary 3D seismic data over prospective Mississippi Lime acreage in the same area.

The acquisition of the Mississippi Lime play oil and gas assets for $12.2 million in 2012 consisted of a 100% interest in 120 oil and gas leases, which cover approximately 85,000 gross mineral acres located in various counties in the state of Kansas. During the year ended April 30, 2014, the period January 1, 2013 to April 30, 2013 and for the period February 2, 2012 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2012, the Company capitalized approximately an additional $327,002, $98,764 and $12,191,965 of Kansas oil and gas expenditures.

During the year ended April 30, 2014, management engaged an independent third party to test the Kansas assets for impairment. Throughout the year, management was not aware of any impairment indicators, but during the annual impairment test, the third party specialist concluded that the Kansas assets were impaired by $4,638,973, principally due to comparable acreage values. No further impairment was recorded on these assets during the three and six months ended October 31, 2014.

Other

Other property consists primarily of four used steam generators and related equipment that will be assigned to future projects.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

(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 has asserted that rent should be abated during the remediation process and accordingly, the Company has not paid rent since 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 has determined that the premises are not fit for re-occupancy and considers the landlord to be in default of the lease and the lease terminated.

The landlord disputes the Company’s position and has given notice that it considers the Company to be in default of the lease for failure to re-occupy the premises.

In addition, the landlord has previously claimed that the Company owes monthly rent for the premises from January 2010 to June 30, 2010 in the amount of $247,348 and has claimed that, as a result of the alleged default, pursuant to the terms of the lease, the Company owes three months accelerated rent in the amount of $114,837. The landlord has previously also asserted that the Company would be liable for an amount up to the full lease obligation of $1,596,329 which otherwise would have been due as follows:

Year Ended April 30
2011	$	473,055
2012		473,055
2013		473,055
2014		177,164
Total	$	1,596,329

On January 30, 2014, the landlord filed a Statement of Claim against the Company in the amount aggregating approximately $759,000. On October 20, 2014, the Company filed a summary judgment application stating that landlord’s claim is barred as it was commenced outside the 2 year statute of limitation period under the Alberta Limitations Act. If the landlord contests our summary judgment application, the court will schedule a hearing expected no earlier than June 2015.

(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 July 3, 2014, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding with Sichuan Renzhi Oilfield Technology Services Co. Ltd., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the People’s Republic of China and traded on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (“Renzhi”), which is memorialized in a Framework Agreement for Acquisition and Cooperation (the “MOU”). The MOU sets forth a framework for (i) the sale by the Company, and the purchase by Renzhi, of PO1, LLC (“PO1”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which owns 51% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Spyglass, the owner of oil and gas leases, leaseholds, lands, and options and concessions thereto, located in Osage County, Oklahoma; and (ii) the joint development by the Company and Renzhi of oil and gas technology and properties (collectively, the “Transactions”), with an aggregate investment by Renzhi to the Company in the amount of $87.5 million.

Table of Contents

The Company and Renzhi intend to enter into one or more definitive agreements to effectuate the terms of the MOU. The execution of definitive documentation with respect to the Transactions remains subject to additional negotiations between the parties, further due diligence, Renzhi obtaining financing in order to comply with its obligations, and applicable Chinese regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that definitive documentation for the Transactions will be entered into by the parties or that the

(d) 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 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.

On October 7, 2014 Spyglass, along with other defendants, filed a motion to dismiss the 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 have been granted leave until November 19, 2014 to file a surreply to Spyglass’s reply brief. Once the briefing cycle is concluded on November 19, 2014, the motion to dismiss becomes ripe for determination by the court. Oral arguments may be ordered by the court. There is no specific timeline by which the court must render a ruling.

(e) Mega West Energy Missouri Corp. (“Mega West”), 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. Mega West Energy Missouri and Petro River Oil Corp., case number 13B4-CV00019) is a case for unlawful detainer, pursuant to which the plaintiffs contend that Mega West oil and gas lease has expired and Mega West 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. Mega West filed an Answer and Counterclaims on November 26, 2013 and the plaintiffs filed a motion to dismiss the counterclaims. Mega West 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.

Mega West 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 is pending in Vernon County, Missouri. Although the two cases are separate, they are interrelated. In the Vernon County case, Mega West 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 Mega West will file an opposition to the motions in the near future.

(f) 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in “Risk Factors.”

Overview

Petro River Oil Corp. is an independent exploration and production company with a focus on drilling, recompletions, and applying modern technologies to both conventional and unconventional oil and gas assets. Specific targets include: increasing production by developing our acreage, increasing profit margins by evaluating and optimizing our production, and executing our business plan to increase property values, reserves, and expanding our asset base.

We benefit from having an experienced management team with proven acquisition, operating and financing capabilities. Mr. Scot Cohen, our Executive Chairman, has over 20 years of financial management experience including five years as managing partner of Iroquois Capital Opportunity Fund, a private equity fund focused on oil and gas. He has raised equity and debt for a number of small and microcap public companies.

Mr. Cohen is joined by Luis Vierma, Daniel Smith and Ruben Alba who make up the Company’s technical leadership. Mr. Vierma has 35 years of experience in oil and gas including VP of Exploration and Production at Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A, (“PDVSA”) the fourth largest oil company in the world. Mr. Vierma has a BS in Chemistry and MS in Geology and leads the Company’s Geological and Geophysical team. Mr. Smith is a registered petroleum engineer with over 15 years’ experience. Mr. Smith spent his career at XTO Energy where he served as an operations engineer responsible for managing fields producing in excess of 100 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. Mr. Alba has been active in the oil and gas industry since 1997. Previously he was with Halliburton Energy Services and Superior Well Services overseeing regional technical staff and operations. Mr. Alba manages the Company’s heavy oil projects in Missouri and Kentucky.

The Company is focused on developing its recently acquired Mississippi Lime acreage. Over the last 12 months the Company has continued to build out its leadership and technical team. Additionally, the Company has been in discussions with industry partners to capitalize and develop acreage in the Mississippi Lime. The Company continues to seek out joint venture partners and acquisition targets.

Projects related to the heavy oil reservoirs are in technical review. The Company has an extensive amount of technical and reservoir information on the Missouri, Oklahoma and Kentucky positions. The data is being utilized in the understanding and test phases to develop an economic heavy oil production reserve base.

The Company continues to explore various opportunities to raise capital to support the growth of the Company. These opportunities include, without limitation, potential joint ventures with various on and offshore entities and potential private issuances of equity, debt or a combination thereof. There can be no assurance that the Company will enter into any of these transactions. Mr. Cohen and Mr. Vierma have extensive experience in capital markets and oil and gas joint ventures. During his time as VP of Exploration and Production at PDVSA, Mr. Vierma negotiated billions of dollars of joint ventures with foreign oil and gas companies.

On December 12, 2013, the Company signed a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Petrol Lakes Holding Limited (“Petrol Lakes”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Petrol Lakes agreed to purchase: (i) 81.25 million shares of the Company’s common stock, at a per share price of $0.08, for an aggregate purchase price of $6.5 million; and (ii) a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms of the warrant, Petrol Lakes may purchase up to 40,625,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share price of $0.1356, for an aggregate purchase price of $6.5 million. The warrant, which is exercisable in whole or in part, will expire on December 12, 2015. The Company paid issuance costs of $650,000.

Table of Contents

Under the Agreement, Petrol Lakes also has the right to appoint one director to the Company’s Board of Directors, which director shall remain on the Board at least through the first annual meeting of the Company after the one-year anniversary of the Agreement. As of the date hereof, Petrol Lakes has not exercised this right.

As a result of the Bandolier Acquisition and Bandolier’s subsequent acquisition of Spyglass, we now have both proven developed and proven undeveloped oil and gas assets.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements presented in this prospectus. These 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 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. We believe critical accounting policies as disclosed in this prospectus reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates.

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.

-28-

Table of Contents

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.

As of April 30, 2014, management engaged a third party to perform an independent study of the oil and gas assets. Management concluded that the Montana assets were impaired by $75,000 and the Kansas assets were impaired by $4,638,973. The Company recorded $4,713,973 impairment to the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended April 30, 2014. For the six months ended October 31, 2014, the Company did not record impairment on its oil and gas assets.

Oil Sales

During the year ended April 30, 2014, the Company recognized $372,179 in oil and gas sales. The Company had $253,779 in oil sales and $118,400 in gas sales during the period. Sales were $184,676 for the period January 1, 2013 to April 30, 2013. Sales were $16,901 for the period February 2, 2012 (inception) to December 31, 2012. The Company continues to recognize minimal sales. The Company is focused on raising capital in order to execute the business plan; as a result the Company is yet to generate material oil and gas sales.

Interest and Other Income

During the year ended April 30, 2014 interest and other income of $3,253 consisted mainly of interest on cash balances, as compared interest and other income for period January 1, 2013 to April 30, 2013 of $5,174 from the cash balances. For period February 2, 2012 (inception) to December 31, 2012 of $34,658 which consisted mainly of interest earned on 10% demand notes to a related party. As of the date of the share exchange agreement, these demand loans were eliminated in the consolidation.

Operating Expenses

During the year ended April 30, 2104, operating expenses were $286,507, as compared to operating expenses of $144,439 for the period January 1, 2013 to April 30, 2013 and $82,663 for the period February 2, 2012 to December 31, 2012. The increases in operating expenses are primarily attributable to a full year of operations for the Company as of April 30, 2014 and newly commenced operations during 2012. As of April 30, 2014, management performed a third party study of the oil and gas assets. Management concluded that the Montana assets were impaired by $75,000 and the Kansas assets were impaired by $4,638,973. We recorded a $4,713,973 impairment to the statement of operations during the year ended April 30, 2014. We performed a test of oil and gas assets as of April 30, 2013, and concluded that the excess purchase price paid for its Missouri property exceeded it net realizable value, and as a result it recognized an impairment in the amount of $1,093,527.

For the year ended April 30, 2014, the Company recorded a gain on the settlement of liability of $20,069 for an outstanding liability with a vendor.

General and Administrative Expenses

Impairment of oil and gas assets

As of April 30, 2014, management performed an impairment test of the oil and gas assets. All Montana leases expired during the year ended April 30, 2014, and as a result, management fully impaired the Montana assets by $75,000. In addition, management engaged an independent third party to test the Kansas assets for impairment. Throughout the year, management was not aware of any impairment indicators, but during the annual impairment test, the third party specialist concluded that the Kansas assets were impaired by $4,638,973, principally due to comparable acreage values.

Impairment of excess purchase price

As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company recorded goodwill on the excess of the fair value of the shares maintained by existing shareholders as compared to the net assets acquired. Based on the overall market capitalization of the Company at the time of the share exchange, the aggregate fair value of these shares (20% of the market capitalization) was $1,117,404, which exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired by $1,093,527.

The Company prior to the merger, impaired its assets to net salvage value and determined upon consummation of the merger the excess purchase price paid for the assets continued to be impaired, thus the Company recognized an immediate charge of $1,093,527 in its accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the four months period ended April 30, 2013.

Interest expense

Interest was $5 for the year ended April 30, 2014 as compared to $619,178 for the period January 1, 2013 to April 30, 2013. The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to the Company converting the notes and accrued interest to shares of common stock on April 23, 2013. Interest expense for the period January 1, 2013 to April 30, 2013 decreased from $1,277,572 for the period February 2, 2012 to December 31, 2012. The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to the Company incurring interest for the entire period ended December 31, 2012, as compared to only incurring interest for four months during the period ended April 30, 2013.

Oil Sales

During the three months ended October 31, 2014, the Company recognized $757,485 in oil and gas sales, compared to sales of $87,253 for the three months ended October 31, 2013. The overall increase in sales of $670,232 is primarily due to the acquisition of Bandolier during the first quarter of the current fiscal year, which generated $757,485 of sales during the period. The Company’s remaining subsidiaries did not generate any revenue during the period ended October 31, 2014.

Operating Expenses

The overall increase in operating expenses of $364,197 is primarily attributable to the operating expenses of Bandolier of $427,475 during the three months ended October 31, 2014 which were offset by a minimal decrease in the operating expenses of the remaining subsidiaries.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2014 were $1,190,500, as compared to $(501,809) for the three months ended October 31, 2013. The increase is primarily attributable to the significant increase in stock based compensation incurred in the 2014 period, including the expense recorded for five consulting agreements awarded during the three months ended October 31, 2014. During the prior year comparable period, the Company reversed $1,021,250 of previously accrued officer share-based compensation due to an amendment to an officer’s employment agreement, which accounts for the significant increase of $1,592,909 in salaries and benefits.

The increase was also due to the addition of the Bandolier expenses of $1,028,079 and the increase in other professional fees and office and administrative expenses. These changes are outlined below:

	For the Six Months Ended		For the Six Months Ended

	$	3,052,032	$	1,717,219

The increases in general and administrative expenses are primarily attributable to the Company ramping up operations and the completion of the Bandolier acquisition. This consists primarily of increases in professional fees and office and administrative expenses. Salary and benefits include non-cash stock-based compensation of $674,253 for the six months ended October 31, 2014 compared to $418,250 for the six months ended October 31, 2013. This increase was due to the expense recorded for five consulting agreements awarded during the three months ended October 31, 2014 in comparison to the accrued expense of $418,250 for options that were issued to Scot Cohen in April 2013. During the prior year comparable period, the Company reversed $1,021,250 of previously accrued officer share-based compensation due to an amendment to an officer’s employment agreement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company is focused on developing its core position in the Mississippi Lime, specifically in the Pearsonia West Concession in Osage County recently acquired during the Bandolier Acquisition and Bandolier’s acquisition of Spyglass. Management’s current plans in the Mississippi Lime play are focused on Pearsonia West, but Petro River also owns additional Mississippi Lime acreage in Kansas. Over the last 12 months the Company has continued to build out its leadership and technical team with individuals with extensive experience in the Mississippi Lime play. Additionally, the Company has been in discussions with industry partners to capitalize and develop additional acreage in the Mississippi Lime. The Company continues to seek out joint venture partners and acquisition targets.

The Company continues to evaluate its non-core projects related to its legacy heavy oil reservoirs. While still in technical review, the Company is engaged in a series of pilot tests related to certain theories, technologies and processes on the Missouri heavy oil assets. In Missouri, the Company has continued to analyze reservoir data and testing results to determine if any of these technologies or processes may lead to a viable and economic development plan for the understanding and test phases to develop an economic heavy oil production reserve base. The Company is leveraging executive vice president Luis Vierma’s experience in heavy oil, which he acquired during his time as Vice President of Exploration and Production at Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A.

Management’s principal objective is to maximize shareholder value by, among other things, increasing production by developing its acreage, increasing profit margins by evaluating and optimizing its production, and executing its business plan to increase property values, prove its reserves, and expand its asset base. While management currently has no plans to discontinue or revise its business plan, recent volatility and decrease in crude oil prices may cause management to cut back on its development or acquisition plans, or otherwise revisit its business and/or its capital expenditure plan. Continued volatility and decreases in crude oil prices may accelerate such cut back or revisions.

At October 31, 2014, the Company had working capital of approximately $2.4 million. 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, Petro has a limited operating history prior to acquisition of Bandolier. At October 31, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.7 million. While management believes that the current level of working capital is sufficient to maintain current operations in Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri as well as the planned added operations for the next twelve months, additional capital will be necessary for management to execute its business plan and to further expand the Company’s exploration and development programs beyond such period. To address the Company’s working capital requirements and execute its business plan, management intends to continue to raise capital through the issuance of debt and equity securities. In addition, and to address the recent volatility and decreases in crude oil prices, the Company began implementing cost-cutting measures on November 1, 2014. No assurances can be provided that the Company will be successful in its efforts to raise additional required capital, which efforts may be more difficult given the recent volatility and decrease in the price of crude oil. Furthermore, inability to maintain capital may damage the Company’s reputation and credibility with industry participants. The Company’s inability to raise additional funds when required may have a negative impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2014–09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Amendments in this Update create Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry–specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendments supersede the cost guidance in Subtopic 605–35, Revenue Recognition—Construction–Type and Production–Type Contracts, and create new Subtopic 340–40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers. In summary, the core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This Accounting Standards Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2011–230—Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2011–250—Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Codification Amendments, both of which have been deleted. Accounting Standards Update 2014–09. The amendments in this Update are effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014–09 on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014–12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which clarifies accounting for share–based payments for which the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. That is the case when an employee is eligible to retire or otherwise terminate employment before the end of the period in which a performance target could be achieved and still be eligible to vest in the award if and when the performance target is achieved. The updated guidance clarifies that such a term should be treated as a performance condition that affects vesting. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant–date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the periods for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The guidance will be effective for the annual periods (and interim periods therein) ending after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014–12 on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2014–15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern. The Update provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. This Accounting Standards Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2013–300—Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Going Concern Presumption, which has been deleted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014–15 on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our Bylaws provide that we shall advance, prior to the final disposition of any proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses by any director or executive officer in connection with any such proceeding upon receipt of any undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to e indemnified under Article XI of our bylaws or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined, no advance shall be made by us if a determination is reasonably and promptly made by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or if such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to our best interests.

Our bylaws also authorize us to purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to our Bylaws.

Section 145(a) of the DGCL authorizes a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful.

Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides in relevant part that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

The DGCL also provides that indemnification under Section 145(d) can only be made upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer or employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 145(a) and (b).

Section 145(g) of the DGCL also empowers a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under Section 145 of the DGCL.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide for eliminating or limiting the personal liability of one of its directors for any monetary damages related to a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, as long as the corporation does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for acts or omissions which (1) which breached the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) which were not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL; or (4) from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of l933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i) If the Registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

(A) Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

(ii) If the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Audit Committee of the

Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Petro River Oil Corp.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Petro River Oil Corp. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of April 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year ended April 30, 2014, four month period from January 1, 2013 to April 30, 2013 and period from February 2, 2012 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2012, stockholders’ equity (deficiency) for the period from February 2, 2012 (commencement of operations) through April 30, 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit 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. and Subsidiaries, as of April 30, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended April 30, 2014, four month period from January 1, 2013 to April 30, 2013 and period from February 2, 2012 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

PETRO RIVER OIL CORP.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended April 30, 2014, four month period ended April 30, 2013 and

for the period February 2, 2012 (Commencement of Operations) through December 31, 2012

Organization and Liquidity:

Petro River Oil Corp (the “Company”) is an enterprise engaged in the exploration and exploitation of heavy oil properties. The Company’s principal administrative office is located in Houston, Texas and its principal operations are in Kansas and Western Missouri.

Petro River Oil LLC (“Petro”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 3, 2011. 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 Mississippi Lime play in the state of Kansas from Metro Energy Corporation (“Metro”), a Louisiana company, and other interrelated entities, which were in financial distress. These assets were purchased by Petro from Metro through a court approved order as Metro was undergoing Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceedings as a Debtor-In-Possession of these various oil and gas assets. Petro purchased these assets for cash consideration of $2,000,000 as well as a 25% non-managing membership interest in the Company. Subsequent to the Metro purchase the Company engaged Energy Source Advisors to renew a number of the leases acquired in the Metro purchase and to lease additional acreage. As a result of the asset purchase from Metro and the completion of the additional lease renewals and additional acreage purchases, the Company obtained a total of 115,000 gross/85,000 net acres of leases, having unproven reserves at the time of acquisition, in the Mississippi Lime in Southeast Kansas for total cost of $12.2 million.

On April 23, 2013, the Company executed and consummated a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company, Petro, and the investors in Petro (the “Investors,”), namely, the holders of outstanding secured promissory notes of Petro (the “Notes”), and the members of Petro holding membership interests in Petro (the “Membership Interests”, and, together with the Notes, the “Acquired Securities”) sold by the Company (the “Share Exchange”).

In the Share Exchange, the Investors exchanged their Acquired Securities for 591,021,011 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”). As a result, upon completion of the Share Exchange, Petro became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.

As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company acquired 100% of the member units of Petro and consequently, control of the business and operations of Petro. 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 is 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, retrospectively restated to reflect the number of shares issued by the Company in the transaction.

Liquidity and Management Plans

Projects related to our legacy heavy oil reservoirs are still in technical review but a determination has been made to continue to testing pilot technologies and processes on the Missouri heavy oil assets. In Missouri, we are continuing to analyze reservoir data and testing results. The data is being utilized in the understanding and test phases to develop an economic heavy oil production reserve base.

F-7

Table of Contents

Projects related to the heavy oil reservoirs are in technical review. The Company has an extensive amount of technical and reservoir information on both Missouri and Kansas positions. The data is being utilized in the understanding and test phases to develop an economic heavy oil production reserve base.

The ultimate goal of the management of the Company is to maximize shareholder value. Specific targets include: increasing production by developing its acreage, increasing profitability margins by evaluating and optimizing its production, and executing its business plan to increase property values, prove its reserves, and expand its asset base.

At April 30, 2014, the Company had working capital of approximately $7.5 million and has incurred losses since it commenced operations and utilized cash in its operating activities to date. In addition, Petro has a limited operating history. At April 30, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $8.4 million. Management believes that the current level of working capital is sufficient to maintain current operations in Kansas and Missouri as well as the planned added operations for the next 12 months. Management intends to continue to raise capital through debt and equity instruments in order to achieve its business plans. Management can provide no assurances that the Company will be successful in capital raising efforts.

Basis of Preparation:

The consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These consolidated financial statements include the below wholly-owned subsidiaries:

Petro River Oil LLC, Petro Spring, LLC, and MegaWest Energy USA Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries:

MegaWest Energy Texas Corp.

MegaWest Energy Kentucky Corp.

MegaWest Energy Missouri Corp.

MegaWest Energy Kansas Corp.

MegaWest Energy Montana Corp.

Significant Accounting Policies:

(a)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of 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. Significant estimates include volumes of oil and natural gas reserves, abandonment obligations, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, depreciation and accretion, income taxes, fair value of financial instruments, and contingencies.

Oil and gas proven reserve estimates, which are the basis for unit-of-production depletion and the full cost ceiling test, have a number of inherent uncertainties. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results of drilling, testing, and production subsequent to the date of the estimate may justify revision of such estimate. Accordingly, reserve estimates are often different from the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered. In addition, reserve estimates are vulnerable to changes in prices of crude oil and gas. Such prices have been volatile in the past and can be expected to be volatile in the future. As of April 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had no estimated proven reserves.

Table of Contents

(b)

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid monetary instruments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. 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.

(c)

Oil and Gas Operations:

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 statement 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.

The Company accounts for its unproven long-lived assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company performed a comparable study of unproven long-lived assets as of April 30, 2013 and determined that none of its long-term assets at April 30, 2013 were impaired. As of April 30, 2014, management performed a third party study of the oil and gas assets. Management concluded that the Montana assets was impaired by $75,000 and the Kansas assets were impaired by $4,638,973. The Company recorded a $4,713,973 impairment to the statement of operations during the year ended April 30, 2014.

Proved Oil and Gas Reserves: In accordance with Rule 4-10 of SEC Regulation S-X, 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 the oil and gas properties with proven reserves were impaired to the salvage value prior to the merger. 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. For the year ended April 30, 2014, the four month period ended April 30, 2013 and the period February 2, 2012 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2012, all oil and gas reserves were classified as unproven. 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.

Table of Contents

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 year ended April 30, 2014, the four month period ended April 30, 2013 and the period February 2, 2012 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2012.

(d)

Asset Retirement Obligations:

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 statement 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.

(e)

Oil and Gas Revenue:

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.

(f)

Stock-Based Compensation:

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. Share-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable. 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.

(g)

Income Taxes:

Prior to the Share Exchange, Petro was not subject to income taxes in any jurisdiction. The members of Petro were responsible for the tax liability, if any, related to Petro’s taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes was reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Petro members have concluded that Petro was a pass-through entity and there were no uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements. If Petro were to incur an income tax liability in the future, interest on any income tax liability would be reported as interest expense and penalties on any income tax liability would be reported as income taxes. For the year ended April 30, 2014, the four month period ended April 30, 2013 and the period February 2, 2012 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2012, no interest and penalties were required to be recorded. The Members’ conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof as well as other factors. At the time of the share exchange, all undistributed losses were closed to additional paid in capital.

F-10

Table of Contents

Subsequent to the Share Exchange, the Company applies the elements of ASC 740-10 “Income Taxes — Overall” regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in consolidated financial statements and requires the impact of a tax position to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements if that position is more likely than not of being sustained by the taxing authority. As of April 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. The Company’s federal and state income tax returns are subject to examination by tax authorities beginning with the tax year ended April 30, 2009.

The Company operates in Kansas, Texas and Missouri. The Company accounts for any tax penalties and interest as general and administrative expenses.

Deferred taxes are computed based on the tax liability or benefit in future years of the reversal of temporary differences in the recognition of income or deduction of expenses between financial and tax reporting purposes. The net difference, if any, between the provision for taxes and taxes currently payable is reflected in the balance sheet as deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets and/or liabilities, if any, are classified as current and non-current based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting purposes, or based on the expected reversal date for deferred taxes that are not related to an asset or liability. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to that amount which is more likely than not to be realized.

(h)

Per Share Amounts:

Basic net 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 earnings (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. In periods when losses are reported, which is the case for the year ended April 30, 2014, the four month period ended April 30, 2013, and the period February 2, 2012 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2012 presented in these consolidated financial statements, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The Company had the following common stock equivalents at April 30, 2014, April 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

As at	April 30, 2014		April 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Stock Options		88,038,281		290,000		-
Stock Purchase Warrants		40,625,000		-		-
Compensation Warrants		-		230,000		-
		128,663,281		520,000		-

(i)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

All financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and accounts payable and accrued expenses are to be 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.

F-11

Table of Contents

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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” Under this new guidance, companies must present this unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a reduction to deferred tax assets created by net operating losses or other tax credits from prior periods that occur in the same taxing jurisdiction. If the unrecognized tax benefit exceeds such credits it should be presented in the financial statements as a liability. This update is effective for annual and interim reporting periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2013-11 on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Amendments in this ASU create Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendments supersede the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and create new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers. In summary, the core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2011-230—Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2011–250—Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Codification Amendments, both of which have been deleted. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014-09 on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation- Stock Compensation. The amendments in this update apply to reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target can be achieved after the requisite service period. This ASU is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update EITF-13D—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which has been deleted. The proposed amendments would apply to reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014-12 on the consolidated financial statements.

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

Reverse Acquisition:

Prior to the reverse acquisition, the existing shareholders of the Company (the Legal Acquirer) held 146,096,735 or 20% of the outstanding shares of the common stock. Based on the overall market capitalization of the Company at the time of the share exchange, the aggregate fair value of these shares (20% of the market capitalization) was $1,117,404, which exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired by $1,093,527.

The Company performed a test of oil and gas assets as of April 30, 2013, and concluded that the excess purchase price paid for its Missouri property exceeded it net realizable value, and as a result it recognized an impairment in the amount of $1,093,527.

As of April 30, 2014, management performed an impairment test of the oil and gas assets. All Montana leases expired during the year ended April 30, 2014, and as a result, management fully impaired the Montana assets by $75,000. In addition, management engaged an independent third party to test the Kansas assets for impairment. Management was not aware of any impairment indicators, but the third party specialist concluded that the Kansas assets were impaired by $4,638,973, specifically as a result of expiring leases and comparable acreage values. The Company recorded a $4,713,973 impairment to the statement of operations during the year ended April 30, 2014.

Missouri

At April 30, 2014, the Company’s Missouri lease holdings totaled 1,272 gross acres with 98.4% working interest.

On separate pilot projects at Deerfield, the Company built two 500 barrel of oil per day steam drive production facilities (Marmaton River and Grassy Creek) comprised of 116 production wells, 39 steam injection wells and 14 service and observation wells. Throughout the Deerfield area, the Company has drilled 73 exploration/delineation wells with a 67% success rate.

As of April 30, 2014 and 2013, all Missouri assets were carried at salvage value, since the Company’s current business plans do not contemplate raising the necessary capital to develop these properties. The Company is in current discussions with third parties to use the acreage as a testing site for heavy oil solutions with contemplated profit sharing opportunities.

Kentucky

As a result of the share exchange, the Company acquired Kentucky lease holdings which include a 37.5% working interest in 27,150 unproved gross acres (10,181 net acres). At April 30, 2014 the Kentucky lease holdings acquired as a result of the share exchange have expired.

Table of Contents

Montana

As of April 30, 2014, the Montana leasehold in the Devils Basin prospect have expired.

As April 30, 2013, the assets were carried at salvage value. During the year ended April 30, 2014, management fully impaired the asset to zero due to the expiration of the leases.

Kansas

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 Mississippi Lime play in the state of Kansas from Metro Energy Corporation (“Metro”), a Louisiana company and other interrelated entities, which were in financial distress. These assets were purchased by Petro from Metro through a court approved order as Metro was undergoing Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceedings as a Debtor-In-Possession of these various oil and gas assets. Petro purchased these assets for cash considerations of $2,000,000 as well as a 25% non-managing membership interest in the Company. Subsequent to the Metro purchase the Company engaged Energy Source Advisors to renew a number of the leases acquired in the Metro purchase and to lease additional acreage. As a result of the asset purchase from Metro and the completion of the additional lease renewals and additional acreage purchases, the Company obtained a total of 115,000 gross/85,000 net acres of leases, having unproven reserves at the time of acquisition, in the Mississippi Lime play in Southeast Kansas for total cost of $12.2 million. The Company also acquired over 60 square miles of proprietary 3D seismic data over prospective Mississippi Lime acreage in the same area. During the year ended April 30, 2014, the period January 1, 2013 to April 30, 2013 and for the period February 2, 2012 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2012, the Company capitalized approximately $327,002, $98,764 and $12,191,965 of Kansas oil and gas expenditures. As of April 30, 2014, management engaged an independent third party to test the Kansas assets for impairment. Throughout the year, management was not aware of any impairment indicators, but during the annual impairment test, the third party specialist concluded that the Kansas assets were impaired by $4,638,973, principally due to comparable acreage values.

Other

Other property consists primarily of four used steam generators and related equipment that will be assigned to future projects. As of April 30, 2014, management concluded that impairment was not necessary as all other assets were carried at salvage value.

Asset Retirement Obligations:

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, 2014 and 2013, based on a future undiscounted liability of $1,087,292. 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:

	April 30, 2014			April 30, 2013

Notes Payable:

For the period from February 2, 2012 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2012, the Company received proceeds from the issuance of promissory notes of $19,999,983. Advances under each bear interest, accruing with respect to each advance from the date of such advance, at the rate of 10% per annum, compounding annually, with a maturity of February 10, 2015. The Notes were entered into contemporaneously with and were secured by certain Mortgage, Assignment of Production, Security Agreement and Financing Statement dated of even date herewith (for up to an aggregate Principal Amount of up to $20,000,000).

The Company recorded interest expense of $619,178 and $1,277,572 for the four month period ended April 30, 2013 and for the period February 2, 2012 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2012, respectively. On April 23, 2013, as part of the share exchange transaction, the notes and accrued interest aggregating $21,896,733 were converted into 590,993,455 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Employment Agreements

	a)	Upon completion of the Share Exchange, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Scot Cohen, the Company’s Executive Chairman (the “Employment Agreement”). On November 20, 2013, the Company amended the Employment Agreement with Scot Cohen. Based on this amendment, the Company granted Mr. Cohen 41,666,667 fair value options to purchase an equal amount of shares of common stock of the Company. The options have a term of 10 years and an exercise price of $0.059. These options will vest in five equal installments, with the first 20% vesting immediately upon grant (as consideration for the service period from April 29, 2013 to November 20, 2013), and the remaining options vesting in four equal installments on the anniversary of the grant date.

		The Company computed the economic benefit of the grant as of the date of grant utilizing a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company utilized 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, $0.059; exercise price of $0.059; expected volatility of 96%; and a discount rate of 2.80%. The grant date fair value of the award was $2,006,227. For the year ended April 30, 2014, the Company expensed $576,034, respectively, to general and administrative expenses.

Income Taxes:

As of April 30, 2014 and April 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $6.4 million and $3.5 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 income tax expense (benefit) consists of the following:

	For the year ended April 30, 2014			For the period January 1, 2013 to April 30, 2013			For the period February 2, 2012 (Commencement of operations) to December 31, 2012

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.

Contingency and Contractual Obligations:

As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company inherited the following contingencies:

(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 remediation was completed by the landlord. Pursuant to the lease contract, the Company asserted that rent should be abated during the remediation process and accordingly, the Company ceased making rent payments in 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 to 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, considered the landlord to be in default of the lease, and considered the lease to be terminated.

The landlord disputed the Company’s position and gave notice that it considers the Company to be in default of the lease for failure to re-occupy the premises.

F-23

Table of Contents

The landlord has previously claimed that the Company owed monthly rent for the premises from January 2010 to June 30, 2010 in the amount of $247,348 and as a result of the alleged default, pursuant to the terms of the lease, the Company owed three months accelerated rent in the amount of $114,837. The landlord previously also asserted that the Company would be liable for an amount up to the full lease obligation of $1,596,329 which otherwise would have been due as follows:

Year Ended April 30
2011	$	473,055
2012		473,055
2013		473,055
2014		177,164
Total	$	1,596,329

On January 30, 2014, the landlord filed a Statement of Claim with the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta against the Company in the approximate amount of $759,000. On March 26, 2014, the Company filed a Statement of Defence in which it challenged the allegations made by the landlord. The Company claims that the two year limitation period as defined under the “Limitations Act”, as established in Alberta, Canada, has been exceeded and therefore the Statement of Claim filed by the landlord should be barred in its entirety.

(b) On March 15, 2013, a former employee of the Company (VP-Operations) commenced an action in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta claiming wrongful termination and seeking severance in an amount approximating US$185,000. On May 3, 2013, the Company reached a settlement with the former employee and entered into a formal settlement and release of claims agreement. As consideration for full settlement and mutual release, the Company issued the former employee 200,000 shares of common stock of the Company, valued at $0.40 per share or $80,000, and paid $50,000 during the year ended April 30, 2014, respectively.

(c) 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.

(d) 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.

PETRO RIVER OIL CORP.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and six months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013

1.	Organization and Liquidity:

Petro River Oil Corp (the “Company”) is an independent exploration and production company with a focus on drilling, completion, recompletions, and applying modern technologies to both conventional and unconventional oil and gas assets. The Company’s core holdings are in the Mid Continent region in Oklahoma and Kansas. The Company’s operations are currently focused on the Mississippi Lime play, capitalizing on the experience, knowledge, and drilling techniques of its team. The Company is driven to utilize its expertise both in the region and in similar formations to exploit hydrocarbon prone resources with tight and/or challenging characteristics in order to create value for the Company and its shareholders. The Company’s principal administrative office is located in Houston, Texas and its principal operations are in Oklahoma, Kansas and Western Missouri. The Company also has an office in New York, New York.

Petro River Oil LLC (“Petro”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 3, 2011. 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 Mississippi Lime play in the state of Kansas from Metro Energy Corporation (“Metro”), a Louisiana company, and other interrelated entities, through a court approved order as Metro was undergoing Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceedings as a Debtor-In-Possession of these various oil and gas assets. Petro purchased these assets for cash consideration of $2,000,000 as well as a 25% non-managing membership interest in Petro. During the six months ended October 31, 2014, the Company engaged Energy Source Advisors to renew a number of the leases acquired in the Metro purchase and to lease additional acreage. As a result of the asset purchase from Metro and the completion of the additional lease renewals and additional acreage purchases, the Company obtained a total of 115,000 gross (85,000 net acres) of leases, having unproven reserves at the time of acquisition, in the Mississippi Lime in Southeast Kansas for total cost of $12.2 million.

Recent Developments

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 $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, 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. The Company will allocate 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 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 3D seismic, 3 phase power, a dedicated sub-station as well as multiple oil producing horizontal wells.

As a result of Bandolier’s subsequent acquisition of Spyglass, the Company has both proven developed and proven undeveloped oil and gas assets. On September 17, 2014, Spyglass has received from the Osage Minerals Counsel at a duly called meeting in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, an extension to its 2014 well commitment due under its concession agreement to extend the time to drill four wells until December 31, 2015.

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 following tables summarizes fair values of the net liabilities assumed and the allocation of the aggregate fair value of the purchase consideration, and non-controlling interest and net liabilities to assumed identifiable and unidentifiable intangible assets. The fair value allocation is based on management’s preliminarily best estimates utilizing potential production and future cash flows:

Liquidity and Management Plans

F-31

Table of Contents

At October 31, 2014, the Company had working capital of approximately $2.4 million. 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, Petro has a limited operating history prior to acquisition of Bandolier. At October 31, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.7 million. While management believes that the current level of working capital is sufficient to maintain current operations in Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri as well as the planned added operations for the next twelve months, additional capital will be necessary for management to execute its business plan and to further expand the Company’s exploration and development programs beyond such period. To address the Company’s working capital requirements and execute its business plan, management intends to continue to raise capital through the issuance of debt and equity securities. In addition, and to address the recent volatility and decreases in crude oil prices, the Company has initiated cost-cutting measures commencing November 1, 2014. No assurances can be provided that the Company will be successful in its efforts to raise additional required capital, which efforts may be more difficult given the recent volatility and decrease in the price of crude oil. Furthermore, inability to maintain capital may damage the Company’s reputation and credibility with industry participants. The Company’s inability to raise additional funds when required may have a negative impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

2.	Basis of Preparation:

The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly 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 condensed consolidated financial statements include the below subsidiaries:

Petro River Oil LLC, Petro Spring, LLC, PO1, LLC and MegaWest Energy USA Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries:

MegaWest Energy Texas Corp.

MegaWest Energy Kentucky Corp.

MegaWest Energy Missouri Corp.

MegaWest Energy Kansas Corp.

MegaWest Energy Montana Corp.

Also contained in the condensed consolidated financial statements is the financial information of the Company’s 50% owned subsidiary, Bandolier Energy LLC.

The unaudited condensed 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 Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 13, 2014. 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 Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2014 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, 2015.

Table of Contents

3.	Significant Accounting Policies:

(a)	Use of Estimates:

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of 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. Significant estimates include volumes of oil and natural gas reserves, abandonment obligations, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, depreciation and accretion, income taxes, fair value of financial instruments, and contingencies.

Oil and gas proven reserve estimates, which are the basis for unit-of-production depletion and the full cost ceiling test, have a number of inherent uncertainties. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results of drilling, testing, and production subsequent to the date of the estimate may justify revision of such estimate. Accordingly, reserve estimates are often different from the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered. In addition, reserve estimates are vulnerable to changes in prices of crude oil and gas. Such prices have been volatile in the past and can be expected to be volatile in the future. As of October 31, 2014, the Company had proven reserves in Oklahoma in relation to the Bandolier transaction.

(b)	Cash and Cash Equivalents:

(c)	Oil and Gas Operations:

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 condensed consolidated statements of operations. All of the Company’s oil and gas properties are located within the continental United States, its sole cost center.

The Company accounts for its unproven long-lived assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be 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, 2014, management engaged a third party to perform an independent study of the oil and gas assets. Management concluded that the Montana assets were impaired by $75,000 and the Kansas assets were impaired by $4,638,973. The Company recorded $4,713,973 impairment to the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended April 30, 2014.

F-33

Table of Contents

Proved Oil and Gas Reserves: In accordance with Rule 4-10 of SEC Regulation S-X, 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. Upon completion of the Bandolier transaction, the Company acquired $2,460,632 in proved developed oil and gas assets and $5,921,641 in proven undeveloped oil and gas assets.

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 three and six months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013.

(d)	Asset Retirement Obligations:

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

(e)	Oil and Gas Revenue:

F-34

Table of Contents

(f)	Per Share Amounts:

Basic net 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 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. In periods when losses are reported, which is the case for the three and six months ended October 31, 2014 and the six months ended October 31, 2013 presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. In addition, for the three months ended October 31, 2013 the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive due to the exercise prices of the instruments being higher than the average common stock price during the period as quoted on the over the counter bulletin board.

The Company had the following common stock equivalents at October 31, 2014 and 2013:

As at	October 31, 2014		October 31, 2013
Stock Options		106,938,281		755,116
Stock Purchase Warrants		40,625,000		-
Compensation Warrants		-		230,000
		147,563,281		985,116

(g)	Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

All financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses are recognized on the condensed 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 condensed 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.

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:

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 3D 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. No impairment was recorded on these assets during the three and six months ended October 31, 2014.

Kansas

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 Mississippi Lime play in the state of Kansas from Metro, a Louisiana company and other interrelated entities through a court approved order as Metro was undergoing Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceedings as a Debtor-In-Possession of these various oil and gas assets. Petro purchased these assets for cash considerations of $2.0 million as well as a 25% non-managing membership interest in the Company. During the six months ended October 31, 2014, the Company engaged Energy Source Advisors to renew a number of the leases acquired in the Metro purchase and to lease additional acreage. As a result of the asset purchase from Metro and the completion of the additional lease renewals and additional acreage purchases, the Company obtained a total of 115,000 gross (85,000 net acres) of leases, having unproven reserves at the time of acquisition, in the Mississippi Lime play in Southeast Kansas for total cost of $12.2 million. The Company also acquired over 60 square miles of proprietary 3D seismic data over prospective Mississippi Lime acreage in the same area. During the year ended April 30, 2014, management engaged an independent third party to test the Kansas assets for impairment. Throughout the year, management was not aware of any impairment indicators, but during the annual impairment test, the third party specialist concluded that the Kansas assets were impaired by $4,638,973, principally due to comparable acreage values. No further impairment was recorded on these assets during the three and six months ended October 31, 2014.

At October 31, 2014, the Company’s Missouri lease holdings totaled 1,272 gross acres with 98.4% working interest.

On separate pilot projects at Deerfield, the Company built two 500 barrel of oil per day steam drive production facilities (Marmaton River and Grassy Creek) comprised of 116 production wells, 39 steam injection wells and 14 service and observation wells. Throughout the Deerfield area, the Company has drilled 73 exploration/delineation wells with a 67% success rate.

As of October 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014, all Missouri assets were carried at salvage value, since the Company’s current business plans do not contemplate raising the necessary capital to develop these properties. The Company is in current discussions with third parties to use the acreage as a testing site for heavy oil solutions with contemplated profit sharing opportunities.

Kentucky

As a result of the share exchange, the Company acquired Kentucky lease holdings which include a 37.5% working interest in 27,150 unproved gross acres (10,181 net acres). At October 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014 the Kentucky lease holdings acquired as a result of the share exchange have expired.

During the year ended April 30, 2014, management fully impaired the asset to zero due to the expiration of the leases.

Other

Other property consists primarily of four used steam generators and related equipment that will be assigned to future projects. As of October 31, 2014, management concluded that impairment was not necessary as all other assets were carried at salvage value.

6.	Asset Retirement Obligations:

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 October 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014, based on a future undiscounted liability of $1,183,292 and $1,087,292, 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:

	October 31, 2014			April 30, 2014

10.	Contingency and Contractual Obligations:

As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company inherited the following contingencies:

(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 completed remediation. Pursuant to the lease contract, the Company asserted that rent should be abated during the remediation process and accordingly, the Company ceased making rent payments in 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 to 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, considered the landlord to be in default of the lease, and considered the lease to be terminated.

(d) 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 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.

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 surreply to Spyglass’s 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. There is no specific timeline by which the court must render a ruling.
