ITEM 8.01    Other Events

 

Panhandle Oil and Gas Inc. (the “Company”), is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to update the presentation of certain financial information and related disclosures contained in its Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016 (the “2016 Form 10-K”) which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 12, 2016. This Form 8-K reflects the presentation of the Company’s adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-15 and ASU 2015-17. Subsequent to the filing of the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K, the Company early adopted ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2015-17 and reclassified “Proceeds from leasing fee mineral acreage” from Investing Activities to Operating Activities on the Statements of Cash Flows and reclassified Deferred income taxes from current assets and current liabilities to long term liabilities on the Company’s condensed balance sheets (the “Condensed Balance Sheets”).  The change had no impact on net income (loss), net income (loss) per basic or diluted share amounts.

This Form 8-K retrospectively revises our financial statements as of September 30, 2016, and for all periods presented, to reflect the adoption of ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2015-17. This update is consistent with the presentation of “Proceeds from leasing fee mineral acreage” on the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows and the “Deferred income taxes” on the Condensed Balance Sheets included in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarters ended December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, and June 30, 2017, filed with the SEC on February 6, 2017, May 5, 2017, and August 7, 2017, respectively. The retrospectively revised Items contained in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K are presented in Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 to this Form 8-K.

The exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K supersede the following Items in the 2016 Form 10-K to reflect, retrospectively, the changes resulting from the reclassification of the Company’s “Proceeds from leasing fee mineral acreage” from Investing Activities to Operating Activities on the Statements of Cash Flows and the “Deferred income taxes” on the Condensed Balance Sheets for all periods presented:

 

 

 

All other information in the 2016 Form 10-K remains unchanged. Unaffected portions of the 2016 Form 10-K have not been repeated in, and are not amended or modified by, this Current Report on Form 8-K or Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 to this Form 8-K. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not reflect events occurring subsequent to the filing of the 2016 Form 10-K and does not modify or update the disclosures therein in any way, other than as required to reflect the reclassifications as described above and as set forth in the exhibits attached hereto.  Without limitation to the foregoing, this Current Report on Form 8-K does not purport to update the MD&A in the 2016 Form 10-K for any information, uncertainties, risks, events or trends occurring or known to management. For developments since the filing of the 2016 Form 10-K, please refer to the Third Quarter 2017 Form 10-Q, as well as other filings of the Company made with the SEC. The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the 2016 Form 10-K and such subsequent filings.
