EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September
30, 2014 and 2013 (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Osage Exploration
and Development, Inc. (“Osage” or the “Company”) is an independent energy company engaged primarily in
the acquisition, development, production and sale of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. The Company’s production
activities are located in the State of Oklahoma. The principal executive offices of the Company are at 2445 Fifth Avenue, Suite
310, San Diego, CA 92101.
Osage prepared
the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions to Form 10-Q and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-K. These
financial statements should be read together with the financial statements and notes in the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K filed
with the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
U.S. GAAP were condensed or omitted. The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures, which, in
the Company’s opinion, are necessary for fair presentation. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results
of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
2. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going
Concern
As a result
of production delays outside of the Company’s control, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants as of September
30, 2014, including the minimum production covenant under the senior secured note purchase agreement (see Note 5 - Debt).
On April
27, 2012, we entered into a $10,000,000 senior secured note purchase agreement with Apollo Investment Corporation. On April 5,
2013 we amended this agreement, increasing the facility to $20,000,000 and on April 7, 2014 we further amended this agreement,
increasing the facility to $30,000,000, extending the term of the facility by one year, reducing the interest rate from Libor
plus 15% to Libor plus 11% and agreeing to modify the covenants to reflect the transition from participant to operator. The Company
also drew down an additional $5,000,000. The Company and the lender are still in discussions about modifications to the covenants
and the existing covenants, some of which the Company is not in compliance with, remain in place until new covenants are agreed
upon.
In the nine
months ended September 30, 2014, the Company raised approximately $6.7 million of gross proceeds in a private placement. (See
Note 10 - Equity)
Management
of the Company has undertaken steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining our operations for the
next 12 months and beyond. These steps include (a) becoming operators of our own wells, (b) participating in drilling of wells
in Logan County, Oklahoma, (c) controlling overhead and expenses, and (d) raising additional equity and/or debt.
The Company’s
operating plans require additional funds which may take the form of debt or equity financings. The Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations and obtaining additional financing. There is no
assurance additional funds will be available on acceptable terms or at all. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern.
These consolidated
financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as
a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course
of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Basis
of Consolidation
The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Osage and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Osage Energy Company, LLC and Osage Exploration
and Development Operating, LLC. Accordingly, all references herein to Osage or the Company include the consolidated results. All
significant inter-company accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation. The results, assets and liabilities of the
Company’s former wholly owned subsidiary, Cimarrona, LLC, have been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated
financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those
estimates. Management used significant estimates in determining the carrying value of its oil and gas producing assets and the
associated depreciation and depletion expense related to sales volumes. The significant estimates include the use of proved oil
and gas reserve estimates and the related present value of estimated future net revenues therefrom.
Reclassifications
Certain
amounts included in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
These reclassifications have no effect on the reported results in 2014 or 2013.
Risk
Factors Related to Concentration of Sales and Products
The Company’s
future financial condition and results of operations depend upon prices received for its oil and natural gas and the costs of
finding, acquiring, developing and producing reserves. Prices for oil and natural gas are subject to fluctuations in response
to changes in supply, market uncertainty and a variety of other factors beyond the Company’s control. These factors include
worldwide political instability (especially in the Middle East), the foreign supply of oil and natural gas, the price of foreign
imports, the level of consumer product demand and the price and availability of alternative fuels.
Cash
and Equivalents
Cash and
equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments readily convertible into cash with an original maturity of three
months or less.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable arising from
its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes are credit-worthy financial institutions. However,
the Company’s cash balances have exceeded the FDIC insured levels at various times during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2014 and 2013. The Company maintains cash accounts only at large, high quality financial institutions and believes
the credit risk associated with cash held in banks exceeding the FDIC insured levels is remote. The Company generated substantially
all of its revenues from seven customers in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and four customers in prior year
comparable periods.

incurred deferred financing costs in connection with the Note Purchase Agreement (see Note 5), which represented the fair value
of warrants, placement fees and legal fees. Deferred financing costs of $3,959,448 are being amortized over the term of the Note
Purchase Agreement on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method.
Deferred
financing costs net of accumulated amortization at September 30, 2014 were $1,200,142. Amortization of deferred financing costs
was $190,500 and $728,982 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively and $314,462 and $955,886 for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.
Restricted
Cash
In connection
with the Apollo Note Purchase Agreement, as amended (see Note 5), the Company has classified $812,500 and $850,000, representing
three months interest, as restricted cash as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company has also pledged
$83,450 for certain bonds and sureties at September 30, 2014. Restricted cash at September 30, 2014 was $895,950, compared to
$908,645 at December 31, 2013.
Risk
Management Activities
The Company
has entered into certain derivative financial instruments to manage the inherent uncertainty of future revenues. The Company does
not intend to hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes and has elected not to designate any of
its derivative instruments for hedge accounting treatment. These derivative financial instruments are marked to market at each
reporting period.
Net Income/Loss
Per Share
In accordance
with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260
“Earnings Per Share,” the Company’s basic net income/loss per share of common stock is calculated by dividing
net income/loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The diluted net income/loss
per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net income/loss using the weighted-average number of common shares including
potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted
net loss per share if anti-dilutive.
The following
table shows the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2014 and 2013:

respectively. 5,797,336 of these warrants and options were excluded from the computations for the three months ended September

and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
As of September
30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, notes payable, accounts payable and
accrued expenses approximate carrying values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
FASB ACS
Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments
held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation
hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying
amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments
and are a reasonable estimate of their fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments
and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.
The three
levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
● |
Level
1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
|
|
●
|
Level
2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices
for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
|
|
● |
Level
3 inputs to the valuation methodology use one or more unobservable inputs which are significant to the fair value measurement.
|
The Company
analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities
from Equity,” and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”
As of September
30, 2014 the Company identified certain derivative financial instruments which required disclosure at fair value on the balance
sheet.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting
Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU will supersede most of the existing
revenue recognition requirements in GAAP and will require entities to recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration
to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The new standard also requires
disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand an entity’s nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and
cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The pronouncement is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application not permitted.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU
2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability
to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going-concern
uncertainties in their financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of
an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s financial
statements. Further, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability
to continue as a going concern. The ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter,
and early adoption is permitted.
The Company is evaluating the impact,
if any, that ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2014-15 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

On December
12, 2013, Osage and Slawson entered into an agreement (the “Partition Agreement”) related to certain lands located
within the Nemaha Ridge in Logan County, Oklahoma, and for the exploration and development of those leases by the parties.
Under the
Partition Agreement and effective as of September 1, 2013, Slawson agreed to assign all of its rights, title and interest in and
to the oil and gas leases and force-pooled acreage which are part of the Nemaha Ridge Project within certain sections to Osage
and Osage agreed to assign all of its rights, title and interest in and to the oil and gas leases and force-pooled acreage which
are part of the Nemaha Ridge Project within certain sections to Slawson, such that the net acreage controlled by the parties would
remain substantially unchanged, but that the acreage controlled by each of the parties in undeveloped sections would be located
in sections where the other party did not control acreage. The parties also agreed that the Participation Agreement would terminate
as to all lands within the Nemaha Ridge Project except for lands within sections already developed by the parties which shall
continue to be controlled by the Participation Agreement. In September 2014, Slawson sold its interests in its oil and gas properties
in Logan County, Oklahoma to Stephens Energy Group, LLC and Stephens Production Company (Collectively “Stephens”).
As a result
of the Partition Agreement, Osage has become the project operator on much of its acreage in the Nemaha Ridge Project. As of September
30, 2014, Osage operated or has the right to operate approximately 4,356 net acres (6,942 gross), and remains joint-venture or
potential joint-venture partners with others in approximately 4,991 net acres (31,292 gross).
In 2011,
the Company began to acquire leases in Pawnee County, Oklahoma, targeting the Mississippian formation. In July 2011, we purchased
from B&W Exploration, Inc. (“B&W”) the Pawnee County prospect targeting the Mississippian, for $8,500. In
addition, B&W is also entitled to an overriding royalty interest on the leases acquired and a 12.5% carry on the first $200,000
of lease bonus paid in the form of an assignment of 12.5% of the leases acquired. Subsequently, B&W shall have an option to
purchase a 12.5% share of leasehold acquired on a heads-up basis. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had 3,934 net acres (5,085
gross) leased in Pawnee County.
In 2011,
we also began to acquire leases in Coal County, Oklahoma, targeting the Oily Woodford Shale formation. The Oily Woodford Shale
formation is located mainly in southeastern Oklahoma in the Arkoma Basin. The Oily Woodford shale lies directly under the Mississippian
and started as a vertical play, but horizontal drilling techniques and multi-stage fracturing technology have been used in the
Woodford in recent years with much success. At September 30, 2014, we had 4,367 net (10,106 gross) acres leased in Coal County.
At September
30, 2014 we have leased 17,648 net (53,425 gross) acres across three counties in Oklahoma as follows:

At September 30, 2014, the Company’s
continuing operations comprised one segment in one geographic region.
5. DEBT
Apollo - Note Purchase Agreement
On April 27, 2012,
we entered into a $10,000,000 senior secured note purchase agreement (“Note Purchase Agreement” or “Notes”)
with Apollo Investment Corporation (“Apollo”). The Notes, which originally matured on April 27, 2015, are secured
by substantially all of the assets of the Company, including a mortgage on all our Oklahoma leases. The Notes bear interest of
Libor plus 15.0% with a Libor floor of 2.0%, with interest payable monthly. In addition, Apollo received a warrant to purchase
1,496,843 shares of common stock, exercisable at $0.01 per share, with a Black-Scholes value of $2,483,952 and an expiration date
of April 27, 2017. Variables used in the valuation include (1) discount rate of 0.82%, (2) expected life of 5 years, (3) expected
volatility of 245.0% and (4) zero expected dividends. The minimum draw amount on the Note Purchase Agreement is $1,000,000. At
closing, we did not draw down any funds.
At closing of the
Note Purchase Agreement, we paid $100,000 of a minimum placement fee to CC Natural Resource Partners, LLC (“CCNRP”)
and issued a warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock, exercisable at $0.01 per share, with a Black-Scholes value of
$413,690 and an expiration date of April 27, 2014. Variables used in the valuation include (1) discount rate of 0.26%, (2) expected
life of 2 years, (3) expected volatility of 242.0% and (4) zero expected dividends. In addition, we paid $170,692 in legal fees,
of which $100,000 were paid to Apollo. In December 2012, we paid an additional $380,000 in placement fees. We also issued a warrant
to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock, exercisable at $0.01 per share, with a Black-Scholes value of $89,952 and a term of
five years, to the placement agent for the Note Purchase Agreement and amended the term of the warrant granted on April 27, 2012
from two to five years, with a Black-Scholes value of $1,161. Variables used in the valuation include (1) discount rate of 0.72%,
(2) expected life of five years, (3) expected volatility of 242.0% and (4) zero expected dividends. In December 2013 we paid an
additional $100,000 in placement fees and in April 2014 we paid $100,000 in additional placement fees.
On April 5, 2013
the Company and Apollo amended the Note Purchase Agreement, increasing the amount of the facility to $20,000,000 and modifying
certain covenants for the remainder of the Note Purchase Agreement term. The Company paid an amendment fee of $100,000 which is
being amortized over the remaining term of the Note Purchase Agreement.
On August 12, 2013,
the Company and Apollo amended the Note Purchase Agreement. The amendment required that the Company, within 75 days of the effective
date as defined in the amendment, complete either (1) a sale of certain assets, or (2) the issuance of capital stock in a transaction
that resulted in aggregate net proceeds as defined in the amendment. In the event that the Company did not complete either one
of the aforementioned transactions, the Company would have been required under the terms of the amendment to issue to Apollo additional
warrants equivalent to three percent of the Company’s common stock, on a fully-diluted basis. On October 7, 2013, the Company
completed the sale of its membership interests in Cimarrona LLC as more fully discussed in Note 11. This sale satisfied the requirements
of the amendment and the Company is thus not obligated to issue additional Warrants to Apollo.
On April 3, 2014, the Company and Apollo amended
the Note Purchase Agreement, increasing the amount of the total facility to $30,000,000, extending the term by one year and reducing
the interest rate from Libor plus 15% to Libor plus 11%. During the nine months ended September 30,
2014, we drew down $5,000,000 of additional funds and, as of September 30, 2014, the amount outstanding under the Note Purchase
Agreement was $25,000,000.
The Company has
recorded deferred financing costs in the aggregate amount of $3,959,448 in connection with the Note Purchase Agreement, which
represented the fair value of warrants issued to Apollo and CCNRP, placement fees, amendment fees and legal fees, which are amortized
on a straight-line basis over the term of the Notes, which approximates the effective interest method, as the Company did not
draw funds at issuance.
On each anniversary
of the closing date, the Company is obligated to pay an administrative fee of $50,000. The Company is subject to certain precedents
in connection with each draw, an upfront fee equal to 2.0% of the principal amount of each draw, and is required to maintain a
deposit account equal to three months of interest payments.
The Company is
subject to various affirmative, negative and financial covenants under the Note Purchase Agreement as amended along with other
restrictions and requirements, all as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement. Affirmative covenants include by October 31st of
each year beginning in 2012, a reserve report prepared as of the immediately preceding September 30, concerning the Company’s
domestic oil and gas properties prepared by approved petroleum engineers, and thereafter as of September 30th of each year.
The Company and
Apollo are negotiating new covenants to the Note Purchase Agreement. Until these negotiations are complete existing covenants,
some of which the Company is not in compliance with, remain in place. Accordingly, the Company has classified borrowings under
the Note Purchase Agreement as short term in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Use of proceeds
is limited to those purposes specified in the Note Purchase Agreement. The Notes are subject to mandatory prepayment in the event
of certain asset sales, insurance or condemnation proceeds, issuance of indebtedness, extraordinary receipts and tax refunds.
All terms are as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement.
Boothbay - Secured Promissory Note
On April
17, 2012, we issued a secured promissory note (“Secured Promissory Note”) to Boothbay Royalty Co., (“Boothbay”)
for gross proceeds of $2,500,000. The Secured Promissory Note had a maturity date of April 17, 2014 and bore interest of 18%,
payable monthly. In addition, Boothbay received 400,000 shares of common stock for which the relative fair value of $386,545 was
recorded as debt discount, a 1.5% overriding royalty on our leases in section 29, township 17 North, range 3 and a 1.7143% overriding
royalty on our leases in section 36, township 19 North, range 4 West in Logan County, Oklahoma. The closing price of the Company’s
common stock on April 17, 2012 was $1.14. The Secured Promissory Note was secured by a first mortgage (with power of sale), security
agreement and financing statement covering a 5% overriding royalty interest, proportionately reduced, in all of the Company’s
leases in Logan County, Oklahoma. The Company repaid the Secured Promissory Note in full in December 2013.
In connection
with the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company recognized $1,021,056 of interest expense, of which $190,500 was non-cash interest
expense and $830,556 was cash interest expense, for the three months ended September 30, 2014. For the nine months ended September
30, 2014, the Company recognized $3,446,976 of interest expense related to this facility, of which $728,982 was non-cash interest
expense and $2,717,994 was cash interest expense. In connection with the Note Purchase Agreement and the Secured Promissory Note,
the Company recognized $1,144,948 of interest expense, of which $367,948 was non-cash interest expense and $777,000 was cash interest
expense, for the three months ended September 30, 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recognized $3,041,094
of interest expense related to these facilities, of which $1,100,787 was non-cash interest expense and $1,940,307 was cash interest
expense.
6. DERIVATIVE
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company
entered into certain derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of its oil and gas production in the third quarter
of 2013. Prior thereto, the Company had not entered into any derivative financial instruments. These instruments are used to manage
the inherent uncertainty of future revenues due to commodity price volatility and currently include only costless price collars.
The Company does not intend to hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes and has elected
not to designate any of its derivative instruments for hedge accounting treatment.
As of September
30, 2014, the Company had the following open oil derivative positions. These oil derivatives settle against the average of the
daily settlement prices for the WTI first traded contract month on the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) for
each successive day of the calculation period.

oil and gas derivative financial instruments. BP Energy Corporation North America simultaneously provided a Guarantee for $25
million as collateral for its obligations to the Company.
7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Environment
Osage, as
owner and operator of oil and gas properties, is subject to various Federal, State, and local laws and regulations relating to
discharge of materials into, and protection of, the environment. These laws and regulations may, among other things, impose liability
on the owner of real property and the lessee under oil and gas leases for the cost of pollution clean-up resulting from operations,
subject the owner/lessee to liability for pollution damages and impose restrictions on the injection of liquids into subsurface
strata. Although Company environmental policies and practices are designed to ensure compliance with these laws and regulations,
future developments and increasing stringent regulations could require the Company to make additional unforeseen environmental
expenditures. The Company maintains insurance coverage it believes is customary in the industry, although it is not fully insured
against all environmental risks. The Company is not aware of any environmental claims existing as of September 30, 2014, that
would have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. There can be no assurance, however,
that current regulatory requirements will not change, or past non-compliance with environmental laws will not be discovered on
the Company’s property.
Operating Leases
In February
2011, the Company entered into a 36 month lease for its corporate offices in San Diego. In February 2014, the Company amended
this lease to extend the term for an additional three years through February 2017. In February 2012, the Company entered into
a 24 month lease for a vehicle to be utilized by its operations in Oklahoma and entered into a 36 month lease for a vehicle at
the termination of the original auto lease. In December 2013, the Company entered into a three year lease for office space in
Oklahoma City the term for which commenced in February 2014.
Rental expense
totaled $43,989 and $14,595 in the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $118,956 and $43,553 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Future minimum commitments under
operating leases are as follows as of September 30, 2014:

Legal Proceedings
The Company
is not a party to any litigation that has arisen in the normal course of its business or that of its subsidiaries.
Division
de Impuestos y Actuanas Nacionales (“DIAN”), the Colombian tax authorities, levies a tax based on the equity value
of Cimarrona. In 2010, the Company was notified by DIAN that it owed $883,742 in equity taxes relating to the 2001 and 2003 equity
tax years. To compute the value the equity tax is assessed upon, Cimarrona subtracted the cost of its non-producing wells in 2001
and 2003. However, DIAN’s position is that as long as the field is productive, Cimarrona should not have subtracted the
cost of the non-producing wells. In May 2011, we settled in full the 2001 equity liability with DIAN. In January 2012, we were
informed by DIAN that we had lost our appeal on the 2003 tax issue and we increased the amount attributable to the 2003 tax year
by $322,288 as of December 31, 2011 to correspond to the amount DIAN indicated we owed for the 2003 tax year. In January 2013,
we successfully concluded negotiations with DIAN with respect to the ultimate liability for the 2003 tax year. DIAN waived certain
interest and penalties. We paid the agreed final liability to DIAN in January 2013, and financed the payment with an unsecured
Colombian term loan facility in the amount of $367,521. We recognized in discontinued operations the $531,644 benefit of the amnesty
in the quarter ended September 30, 2013, upon receipt of official confirmation that the liability is fully settled. We repaid
the unsecured Colombian term loan facility in October 2013 in conjunction with the sale of Cimarrona.
SALE
OF CIMARRONA LLC
On October
7, 2013, the Company completed the sale of 100% of the membership interests in Cimarrona LLC to Raven Pipeline Company, LLC (“Raven”),
pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated September 30, 2013 (the “Agreement”) by and between the
Company and Raven. The Cimarrona property is subject to an Ecopetrol Association Contract (the “Association Contract”)
whereby Ecopetrol S.A. (“Ecopetrol”) receives royalties of 20% of the oil produced. The pipeline is not subject to
the Association Contract. In addition to the royalty, according to the Association Contract, Ecopetrol may, for no consideration,
become a 50% partner, once an audit of revenues and expenses indicate that the partners in the Association Contract have received
a 200% reimbursement of all historical costs to develop and operate the Guaduas field. If such an audit determines that the specified
reimbursement of historical costs occurred prior to September 30, 2013, the Company is required to reimburse Raven for any amounts
due to Ecopetrol from Cimarrona LLC which relate to the period prior to that date. The Company believes its maximum exposure is
50% of Cimarrona LLC’s oil revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, or $729,308. The Company has not recorded
any provision for this matter, as it is not possible to estimate the potential liability, if any.

9. LIABILITY
FOR ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
The Company
recognizes a liability at discounted fair value for the future retirement of tangible long-lived assets and associated assets
retirement cost associated with the petroleum and natural gas properties. The fair value of the liability is capitalized as part
of the cost of the related asset and amortized to expense over its useful life. The liability accretes until the date of expected
settlement of the retirement obligations. The related accretion expense is recognized in the statement of operations. The provision
will be revised for the effect of any changes to timing related to cash flow or undiscounted abandonment costs. Actual expenditures
incurred for the purpose of site reclamation are charged to the asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) to the extent
that the liability exists on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes a liability at discounted fair value for the future retirement

the actual costs incurred and the fair value of the liability recorded are recognized in income in the period the actual costs
are incurred. There are no legally restricted assets for the settlement of AROs. No income tax is applicable to the ARO as of
September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, because the Company records a valuation allowance on deductible temporary differences
due to the uncertainty of its realization.

10. EQUITY
Common
Stock
In February
2014, the Company initiated a private placement, pursuant to Securities Purchase Agreements between Osage and certain purchasers,
with aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $6.7 million. The purchase price of each unit, representing one share of common
stock and a warrant to purchase 0.4 shares of common stock at $1.80 per share, was $0.90. The warrants have a term of five years.
The placement agent received placement fees of 8%, in cash or warrants or a combination thereof at their election. As of September
30, 2014 units representing $6,744,000 had been sold, representing 7,493,333 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 2,997,333
shares of common stock. The placement agent fees related to these units as of September 30, 2014 were cash fees of $427,100 and
warrants to purchase 196,620 shares of common stock at $0.01 per share. In addition, the Company incurred legal fees of $10,000
with respect to the private placement.
On January
2, 2014 we issued a total of 550,000 shares to three individuals in connection with amended employment and consulting agreements.
Stock based compensation had already been expensed for 150,000 shares as discussed below. The remaining 400,000 shares vest on
January 1, 2015, were originally valued at $436,000 based on closing prices of $1.00 for 200,000 shares and $1.18 for 200,000
shares. 200,000 of the shares, issued pursuant to a consulting agreement, were revalued from $236,000 to $138,000 as of September
30, 2014, based on a closing price of $0.69. The stock based compensation related to the 400,000 shares is being expensed over
one year.
On June
5, 2014 we issued a total of 600,000 non-qualified stock options to two employees and a consultant, exercisable at $0.8925 per
share, with a Black-Scholes value of $629,714 and an expiration date of June 4, 2024. Variables used in the valuation include
(1) discount rate of 0.85%, (2) expected life of 10 years, (3) expected volatility of 220.0% and 219.0% for employees and consultant,
respectively, and (4) zero expected dividends. These options were fully vested as of the grant date.
On September
8, 2014 we issued a total of 200,000 non-qualified stock options to a consultant, exercisable at $0.96 per share, with a Black-Scholes
value of $173,906 and an expiration date of September 8, 2024. Variables used in the valuation include (1) discount rate of 0.85%,
(2) expected life of 10 years, (3) expected volatility of 219.0%, and (4) zero expected dividends. These options were fully vested
as of the grant date.
During the
three months ended March 31, 2013 we issued 400,000 shares which vested immediately to two employees with a fair value of $364,000,
or $0.91 per share. On August 1, 2012, in connection with a three-year employment agreement, we agreed to issue 150,000 shares
of common stock at future dates as specified in the agreement. The 150,000 shares were valued at $177,000, or $1.18 per share,
and were being expensed over the three years of the employment agreement. We recognized $14,750 of expense related to these shares
in the three months ended March 31, 2013. On January 2, 2014, we amended the employment agreement and the vesting of these shares
accelerated, and we recognized the unamortized portion of the stock based compensation expense in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Warrants
During the
three months ended March 31, 2014, 200,000 warrants were exercised by a consultant who had previously received the warrants in
exchange for services.
In addition
to the warrants issued pursuant to the private placement discussed above, in April 10, 2014 we issued a warrant to purchase 2,000,000
shares of common stock to a consultant, exercisable at $1.04 per share, with a Black-Scholes value of $2,184,538 and an expiration
date of April 9, 2017. Variables used in the valuation include (1) discount rate of 0.81%, (2) expected life of 3 years, (3) expected
volatility of 223.0% and (4) zero expected dividends. This warrant was fully vested as of the grant date. This consultant,

in the Company and participating in certain of the Company's wells.
Total
stock-based compensation expense was $236,906 and $14,750 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively,
and $3,269,158 and $420,250 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. All stock-based compensation
expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited financial statements.
11. DISCONTINUED
OPERATIONS
On October
7, 2013, the Company completed the sale of 100% of the membership interests in Cimarrona LLC to Raven, pursuant to the Agreement
dated September 30, 2013 by and between the Company and Raven. Cimarrona LLC is the owner of a 9.4% interest in certain oil and
gas assets including a pipeline in the Guaduas field, located in the Dindal and Rio Seco Blocks that covers 30,665 acres in the
Middle Magdalena Valley in Colombia.
The sales
price consisted of cash of $6,550,000 exclusive of escrow, less settlement of debt of Cimarrona LLC of approximately $250,000.
$250,000 was to be held in escrow for 12 months to secure any post-Closing purchase price adjustments and any indemnity obligations
of the Company pursuant to the Agreement. In addition, so long as the per barrel transportation rate charged with respect to the
pipeline was not adjusted prior to March 31, 2014, then Raven was obligated to pay the Company an additional $1,000,000 in cash.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company also recognized a receivable for a working capital adjustment of $422,955 in other current
assets as of December 31, 2013 and recognized a gain on disposal of discontinued operations of $4,873,660 in the year ended December
31, 2013. Raven has reimbursed the Company for the working capital adjustment. On August 31, 2014 the Company and Raven entered
into a settlement agreement, due to numerous uncertainties, whereby the escrow was released to Raven and whereby no additional
cash is payable by Raven to the Company.

2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This
report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that include, among others, statements of: expectations, anticipations, beliefs, estimations,
projections, and other similar matters that are not historical facts, including such matters as: future capital requirements,
development and exploration expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), drilling of wells, reserve estimates (including
estimates of future net revenues associated with such reserves and the present value of such future net revenues), future production
of oil and gas, repayment of debt, business strategies, and expansion and growth of business operations. These statements are
based on certain assumptions and analyses made by our management in light of past experience and perception of: historical trends,
current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors that our management believes are appropriate under the circumstances.
We caution the reader that these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those associated
with the financial environment, the regulatory environment, and trend projections, that could cause actual events or results to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by the statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those risks and uncertainties
identified below. Significant factors that could prevent us from achieving our stated goals include: declines in the market prices
for oil and gas, adverse changes in the regulatory environment affecting us, the inherent risks involved in the evaluation of
properties targeted for acquisition, our dependence on key personnel, the availability of capital resources at terms acceptable
to us, the uncertainty of estimates of proved reserves and future net cash flows, the risk and related cost of replacing produced
reserves, the high risk in exploratory drilling and competition. You should consider the cautionary statements contained or referred
to in this report in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that may be issued. We undertake
no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the
date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
On
April 8, 2008, we entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Sunstone Corporation
(“Sunstone”) pursuant to which we acquired from Sunstone 100% of the membership interests in Cimarrona Limited Liability
Company, an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Cimarrona LLC”). Cimarrona LLC owns a 9.4% interest in certain oil
and gas assets in the Guaduas field, located in the Dindal and Rio Seco Blocks that consist of 21 wells, of which seven are currently
producing, that covers 30,665 acres in the Middle Magdalena Valley in Colombia as well as a pipeline with a current capacity of
approximately 40,000 barrels of oil per day. The Purchase Agreement was effective as of April 1, 2008. The Cimarrona property
is subject to an Ecopetrol Association Contract (the “Association Contract”) whereby we pay Ecopetrol S.A. (“Ecopetrol”)
royalties of 20% of the oil produced. The pipeline is not subject to the Association Contract. The royalty amount for the Cimarrona
property is paid in oil. The property and the pipeline are both operated by Pacific, which owns 90.6% of the Guaduas field. Pipeline
revenues generated from the Cimarrona property primarily relate to transportation costs charged to third party oil producers,
including Pacific.
On
October 7, 2013, the Company completed the sale of 100% of the membership interests in Cimarrona LLC to Raven Pipeline Company,
LLC (“Raven”), pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated September
30, 2013 by and between the Company and Raven. Accordingly, the Company will not recognize any revenues or expenses for Cimarrona
LLC from October 1, 2013. The sales price consisted of cash of $6,550,000 exclusive of escrow, less settlement of debt of Cimarrona
LLC of approximately $250,000. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company also recognized a receivable for a working capital adjustment
of $422,955 in other current assets as of December 31, 2013 and recognized a gain on disposal of discontinued operations of $4,873,660
in the year ended December 31, 2013.
In
2010, we began to acquire oil and gas leases in Logan County, Oklahoma targeting the Mississippian formation. The Mississippian
formation is located on the Anadarko Shelf in northern Oklahoma and south-central Kansas. The top of this expansive carbonate
hydrocarbon system is encountered between 4,000 and 6,000 feet and lies stratigraphically between the Pennsylvanian-aged Morrow
Sand and the Devonian-aged Woodford Shale formations. The Mississippian formation may reach 600 feet in gross thickness and the
targeted porosity zone is between 50 and 300 feet in thickness. The formation’s geology is well understood as a result of
the thousands of vertical wells drilled and produced there since the 1940s. Beginning in 2007, the application of horizontal cased-hole
drilling and multi-stage hydraulic fracturing treatments have demonstrated the potential for extracting significant additional
quantities of oil and natural gas from the formation.
The
Woodford Shale is a major energy resource with the potential for significant unconventional oil and gas production. The Woodford
is a Devonian aged, highly carboniferous black shale that has sourced the vast majority of migratable hydrocarbons in Oklahoma
and Kansas. The known inefficacies of hydrocarbon expulsion is the primary reason why source rocks like the Woodford retain large
volumes of oil and gas. Currently, there are more than 1,500 producing horizontal Woodford wells in Oklahoma. This source rock
underlies all of our Mississippian acreage.
On
April 21, 2011, the Company entered into a participation agreement (“Participation Agreement”) with Slawson Exploration
Company (“Slawson”) and U.S. Energy Development Corporation (“USE,” Slawson and USE, together, the “Parties”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement, Slawson and USE acquired 45% and 30% respectively, of our 10,000 acre Nemaha
Ridge prospect in Logan County, Oklahoma for $4,875,000. In addition, the Parties carried Osage for 7.5% of the cost of the first
three horizontal Mississippian wells, which means that for the first three horizontal Mississippian wells, the Company provided
up to 17.5% of the total well costs. After the first three wells, the Company was responsible for up to 25% of the total well
costs. Revenue from wells drilled pursuant to the Participation Agreement, after royalty and third party acreage interest payments,
was allocated 45% to Slawson, 30% to USE and 25% to Osage. Slawson was the operator of all wells in the Nemaha Ridge prospect
in sections where the Parties’ acreage controlled the section. In sections where the Parties’ acreage did not control
the section, we may elect to participate in wells operated by others.
On
December 12, 2013, Osage and Slawson entered into an agreement (the “Partition Agreement”) related to certain lands
located within the Nemaha Ridge in Logan County, Oklahoma, and for the exploration and development of those leases by the Parties.
Under
the Partition Agreement and effective as of September 1, 2013, the Slawson Exploration Group agreed to assign all of its rights,
title and interest in and to the oil and gas leases and force-pooled acreage which are part of the Nemaha Ridge Project within
certain sections to Osage and Osage agreed to assign all of its rights, title and interest in and to the oil and gas leases and
force-pooled acreage which are part of the Nemaha Ridge Project within certain sections to the Slawson Exploration Group, such
that the net acreage controlled by the parties would remain substantially unchanged, but that the acreage controlled by each of
the parties in undeveloped sections would be located in sections where the other party did not control acreage. The parties also
agreed that the Participation Agreement would terminate as to all lands within the Nemaha Ridge Project except for lands within
sections already developed by the parties which shall continue to be controlled by the Participation Agreement.
In September
2014, Slawson sold its interests in its oil and gas properties in Logan County, Oklahoma to Stephens Energy Group, LLC and Stephens
Production Company (collectively “Stephens”).
As
a result of the Partition Agreement, Osage has become the project operator on much of its acreage in the Nemaha Ridge Project.
As of September 30, 2014, Osage operated or has the right to operate approximately 4,356 net acres (6,942 gross), and remains
joint-venture or potential joint-venture partners with others in approximately 4,991 net acres (31,292 gross).
In
2011, the Company began to acquire leases in Pawnee County, Oklahoma, targeting the Mississippian formation. In July 2011, we
purchased from B&W Exploration, Inc. (“B&W”) the Pawnee County prospect targeting the Mississippian, for $8,500.
In addition, B&W is also entitled to an overriding royalty interest on the leases acquired and a 12.5% carry on the first
$200,000 of lease bonus paid in the form of an assignment of 12.5% of the leases acquired. Subsequently, B&W shall have an
option to purchase a 12.5% share of leasehold acquired on a heads-up basis. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had 3,934 net
acres (5,085 gross) leased in Pawnee County.
In
2011, we also began to acquire leases in Coal County, Oklahoma, targeting the Woodford Shale formation. The Wood ford Shale formation
is located mainly in southeastern Oklahoma in the Arkoma Basin. The Woodford shale lies directly under the Mississippian and started
as a vertical play, but horizontal drilling techniques and multi-stage fracturing technology have been used in the Woodford in
recent years with much success. At September 30, 2014, we had 4,367 net (10,106 gross) acres leased in Coal County.
At
September 30, 2014, we have leased 17,648 net (53,425 gross) acres across three counties in Oklahoma as follows:

We have
accumulated deficits of $9,445,219 (unaudited) at September 30, 2014 and $4,219,480 at December 31, 2013. Substantial portions
of the losses are attributable to stock-based compensation, professional fees and interest expense.
Management
of the Company has undertaken steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining our operations for the
next 12 months and beyond. These steps include (a) becoming an operator of our own wells, (b) participating in drilling of wells
in Logan County, Oklahoma, (c) controlling overhead and expenses, and (d) raising additional equity and/or debt.
On April
27, 2012, we entered into a $10,000,000 senior secured note purchase agreement with Apollo Investment Corporation. On April 5,
2013 we amended this agreement, increasing the facility to $20,000,000 and on April 3, 2014 we further amended this agreement,
increasing the facility to $30,000,000, extending the term of the facility by one year, reducing the interest rate from Libor
plus 15% to Libor plus 11% and agreeing to modify the covenants to reflect the transition from participant to operator. On April
7, 2014, we drew down an additional $5 million, bringing total borrowings under the Note Purchase Agreement to $25 million.
We are in discussions with respect to new covenants to reflect becoming an operator of our own wells. Existing covenants, some
of which we are not in compliance with, remain in effect until the new covenants are agreed upon.
In February
2014, the Company initiated a private placement, pursuant to Securities Purchase Agreements between Osage and certain purchasers,
with aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $6.7 million. The purchase price of each unit, representing one share of common
stock and a warrant to purchase 0.4 shares of common stock at $1.80 per share, was $0.90. The warrants have a term of five years.
The placement agent received placement fees of 8%, in cash or warrants or a combination thereof at their election.
The Company’s
operating plans require additional funds which may take the form of debt or equity financings. The Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependent upon achieving profitable operations and obtaining additional
financing. There is no assurance additional funds will be available on acceptable terms or at all. In the event we are unable
to continue as a going concern, we may elect or be required to seek protection from our creditors by filing a voluntary petition
in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. To date, management has not considered this alternative,
nor does management view it as a likely occurrence.

Operating Costs
Our operating
costs were $588,193 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $447,325 for the three months ended September 30,
2013, due to an increase in operating costs as a result of having 47 wells in production in Logan County at September 30, 2014.
Operating costs as a percentage of total revenues increased to 17.7% in the 2014 period from 16.8% in 2013 period, as the percentage
increase in revenues was less than the percentage increase in operating costs as new wells came into production. The average production
cost per barrel of oil equivalent (“Production Cost/BOE”) for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $11.90
compared to an average total Production Cost/BOE of $14.94 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
General
and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses were $821,816 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $531,056 for the three months
ended September 30, 2013. As a percent of total revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 24.7% in the 2014 period
from 19.9% in the 2013 period. Stock based compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $236,906, compared to
$14,750 in the three months ended September 30, 2013. Excluding stock based compensation, general and administrative expenses
were $584,910, or 17.6% of revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $516,306, or 19.4% of revenues in
the 2013 period. The increase of $68,604 in other general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased salary, legal
and professional and insurance expenses.
Depreciation,
Depletion and Accretion
Depreciation,
depletion and accretion were $1,549,842 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and $728,486 for the three months ended
September 30, 2014, an increase of $821,356 or 112.7%. Our depletion expense will continue to increase to the extent we are successful
in our well production in Oklahoma.
Operating
Income (Loss)
Operating
income was $368,668 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to an operating income of $955,429 for the three months
ended September 30, 2014. The decline in operating income is as a result of the increase in total operating expenses of 73.4%
exceeding the 25.0% revenue growth.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense was $1,021,256 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1,144,948 for the three months ended September
30, 2013, a decrease of $123,692. The decrease in interest expense during the 2014 period was primarily due to a reduction in
deferred financing fees as a result of the one year extension in the term of our Note Purchase Agreement and a reduction in our
weighted average cost of debt offset by greater amounts outstanding under our credit facilities. In the three months ended September
30, 2014, cash interest expense amounted to $830,756. The remaining non-cash interest expense of $190,500 represented amortization
of deferred financing fees. In the three months ended September 30, 2013, cash interest expense amounted to $770,000. The remaining
non-cash interest expense of $367,948 consisted of deferred financing fees of $314,462 and debt discount amortization of $53,486.
Oil
and Gas Derivatives
Oil
and gas derivatives reflected an unrealized gain of $643,529 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as a result of marking
open financial derivative instruments to market as of September 30, 2014 and losses realized on financial derivative instruments
settled of $113,191 during the three months then ended. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 oil and gas derivatives
reflected an unrealized loss of $470,434 as a result of marking open financial derivative instruments to market as of September
30, 2013 and losses realized on financial derivative instruments settled of $129,398 during the three months then ended.
Provision
for Income Taxes
Provision
for income taxes was zero for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Due to a history of operating losses, the Company
records a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets and therefore recorded no tax provision related to its
U.S. operations for the current period.
Income
(loss) from Continuing Operations
Income
from continuing operations was $107,137 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a loss of $789,130 for the three
months ended September 30, 2013. The $586,761 decrease in operating income was more than offset by the $1,130,170 improvement
to a gain on oil and gas derivatives, the $226,715 gain on sale of land interests and the $123,692 reduction in interest expense
in the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the prior year period.
Income
from Discontinued Operations Net of Income Taxes
Income
from discontinued operations net of income taxes was $590,318 in the three months ended September 30, 2013. These operations were
disposed of effective September 30, 2013.
Net
Income (Loss)
Net
Income was $107,137 in the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a net loss of $198,812 in 2013. The improvement of
$896,267 to income from continuing operations of $107,137 and the reduction of $590,318 in net income from discontinued operations
represent the primary drivers.
Foreign
Currency Translation Adjustment Attributable to Discontinued Operations
There was
no foreign currency gain or loss in the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a gain of $1,439 in 2013.
Comprehensive
Income (Loss)
Comprehensive
income was $107,137 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to comprehensive loss of $197,373 for the three months
ended June, 2013. The improvement of $305,949 to net income of $107,137
was the primary contributor.
Income
(Loss) per Share
Basic and
diluted income per share from continuing operations was $0.00 the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a loss per
share of $0.02 in the prior year period. There was no income from discontinued operations in the three months ended September
30, 2014, compared to basic and diluted income from discontinued of $0.01 per share in the prior year period.

Operating costs as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 17.2% in the 2014 period from 19.0% in 2013 period, as the percentage
increase in revenues was greater than the percentage increase in operating costs as new wells came into production. The average
Production Cost/BOE for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $11.59 compared to an average total Production Cost/BOE of
$15.44 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
General
and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses were $5,309,176 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $1,923,899 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $3,385,277, or 176.0%. As a percent of total revenues, general and administrative
expenses increased to 62.9% in the 2014 period from 37.1% in the 2013 period. Stock based compensation for the nine months ended
September 30, 2014 was $3,269,158, compared to $420,250 in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Excluding stock based compensation,
general and administrative expenses were $2,040,018, or 24.2% of revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared
to $1,503,649, or 29.0% of revenues in the 2013 period. The increase of $536,369 in other general and administrative expenses
was primarily due to increased salary, legal and professional and insurance expenses.
Depreciation,
Depletion and Accretion
Depreciation,
depletion and accretion were $3,895,864 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $1,343,498 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2013, an increase of $2,552,366 or 190.0%. Our depletion expense will continue to increase to the extent we are
successful in our well production in Oklahoma.
Operating
Income (Loss)
Operating
loss was $2,212,444 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to an operating income of $938,179 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2013. The increase in operating loss of $3,150,623 from operating income is as a result of the increase in
operating costs and expenses of 150.5% exceeding the 62.7% revenue growth.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense was $3,447,395 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $3,041,094 for the nine months ended September
30, 2013, an increase of $406,301. The increase in interest expense during the 2014 period was primarily due to greater amounts
outstanding under our credit facilities offset by a reduction in our weighted average cost of debt and a reduction in deferred
financing fees as a result of the one year extension in the term of our Note Purchase Agreement. In the nine months ended September
30, 2014, cash interest expense amounted to $2,718,413. The remaining non-cash interest expense of $728,982 represented amortization
of deferred financing fees. In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, cash interest expense amounted to $1,940,297. The remaining
non-cash interest expense of $1,100,797 consisted of deferred financing fees of $955,886 and debt discount amortization of $144,901.
Oil
and Gas Derivatives
Oil
and gas derivatives reflected an unrealized gain of $332,049 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as a result of marking
open financial derivative instruments to market as of September 30, 2014 and losses realized on financial derivative instruments
settled of $280,433 during the nine months then ended. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 oil and gas derivatives reflected
an unrealized loss of $507,124 as a result of marking open financial derivative instruments to market as of September 30, 2013
and losses realized on financial derivative instruments settled of $129,398 during the nine months then ended.
Provision
for Income Taxes
Provision
for income taxes was zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Due to a history of operating losses, the Company
records a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets and therefore recorded no tax provision related to its
U.S. operations for the current period.
Loss
from Continuing Operations
Loss
from continuing operations was $5,225,739 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a loss of $2,738,076 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2013. The primary contributors were the $3,150,623 increase in operating loss and the $406,301
increase in interest expense, partially offset by the $688,138 improvement in gain on oil and gas derivatives from a loss and
the gain on sale of land interests in 2014 of $374,979.
Income
from Discontinued Operations Net of Income Taxes
Income
from discontinued operations net of income taxes was $2,496,541 in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. These operations
were disposed of effective September 30, 2013.
Net
Income (Loss)
Net
loss was $5,225,739 in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a net loss of $241,535 in 2013. The increase in loss
from continuing operations of $2,487,663 and the reduction of $2,496,541 in net income from discontinued operations represent
the drivers of the $4,984,204 increase in net loss.
Foreign
Currency Translation Adjustment Attributable to Discontinued Operations
There was
no foreign currency gain or loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a gain of $24,153 in 2013.
Comprehensive
Income (Loss)
Comprehensive
loss was $5,225,739 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a comprehensive loss of $217,382 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2013. The $4,984,204 increase in net loss was the primary contributor, along with the foreign currency translation
gain of $24,153 in the prior year period.
Income
(Loss) per Share
Basic and
diluted loss per share from continuing operations was $0.09 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a basic and
diluted loss per share of $0.06 in the prior year period. There was no income from discontinued operations in the nine months
ended September 30, 2014, compared to basic and diluted income from discontinued operations of $0.05 per share in the prior year
period.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Net cash
provided by operating activities totaled $11,219,930 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $5,403,486 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The major components of net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months
ended September 30, 2014 included non-cash activities which consisted of stock based compensation of $3,269,158, provision for
depreciation, depletion and accretion of $3,859,221 and amortization of deferred financing costs of $728,982. Other significant
components included the $7,512,931 increase in joint interest billing account and a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,357,011,
partially offset by the net loss of $5,225,739. The major components of net cash provided by operating activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 2013 included non-cash activities which consisted of stock based compensation of $420,250, provision
for depreciation, depletion and accretion of $1,458,223, amortization of deferred financing costs of $955,886 and amortization
of debt discount of $144,901. Other components included the $5,536,650 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses due primarily
to our Oklahoma operations related to well production and partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $3,297,666.
Net cash
used in investing activities totaled $16,998,044 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and consisted primarily of investments
in oil and gas properties of $17,609,570 as the Company began drilling and operating its own wells in Logan County, Oklahoma,
partially offset by net proceeds from the sale of land interests of $644,675. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $17,522,117
for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and consisted primarily of investments in oil and gas wells of $17,374,532.
Net cash
provided by financing activities totaled $11,184,338 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and consisted primarily of $6,306,900
in net proceeds from a private placement of securities and $5,000,000 proceeds from the Note Purchase Agreement. Net cash provided
by financing activities amounted to $12,152,815 in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, consisting primarily of $12,000,000
proceeds from the Note Purchase Agreement.
Our capital
expenditures are directly related to drilling operations and the completion of successful wells. Our level of expenditures in
the U.S. is dependent upon successful operations and availability of financing.
Effect
of Changes in Prices
Changes
in prices during the past few years have been a significant factor in the oil and gas (“O&G”) industry. The price
received for the oil produced by us fluctuated significantly during the last year. Changes in the price received for our O&G
is set by market forces beyond our control as well as governmental intervention. The volatility and uncertainty in O&G prices
have made it more difficult for a company like us to increase our O&G asset base and become a significant participant in the
O&G industry. We currently sell all of our O&G production to Slawson, Devon, Stephens, CMO Energy Partners, Phillips 66,
DCP Midstream and Sundance in the U.S. However, in the event these customers discontinued O&G purchases, we believe we can
replace these customers with other customers who would purchase the oil at terms standard in the industry. In our Logan county
properties, we sold oil and gas at prices ranging from $93.66 to $104.90 per barrel and $3.62 to $6.89 per Mcf in the nine months
ended September 30, 2014 and at prices ranging from $90.28 to $94.27 per barrel and $3.81 to $6.61 per Mcf in the nine months
ended September 30, 2013. We began to sell natural gas liquids in the second quarter of 2013 and we sold natural gas liquids in
our Logan county properties at prices ranging from $25.85 to $45.31 per barrel in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and
$25.91 to $28.87 per barrel in the prior year.
We have
exposure to changes in interest rates as our Apollo debt facility is tied to the London inter-bank overnight rate.
Oil and
Gas Properties
We follow
the “successful efforts” method of accounting for our O&G exploration and development activities, as set forth
in FASB ASC Topic 932 (“ASC 932”). Under this method, we initially capitalize expenditures for O&G property acquisitions
until they are either determined to be successful (capable of commercial production) or unsuccessful. The carrying value of all
undeveloped O&G properties is evaluated periodically and reduced if such carrying value appears to have been impaired. Leasehold
costs relating to successful O&G properties remain capitalized while leasehold costs which have been proven unsuccessful are
charged to operations in the period the leasehold costs are proven unsuccessful. Costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties
are expensed as incurred. The costs of drilling and equipping development wells are capitalized, whether the wells are successful
or unsuccessful. The costs of drilling and equipping exploratory wells are capitalized until they are determined to be either
successful or unsuccessful. If the wells are successful, the costs of the wells remain capitalized. If, however, the wells are
unsuccessful, the capitalized costs of drilling the wells, net of any salvage value, are expensed in the period the wells are
determined to be unsuccessful. We did not record any impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 or 2013.
The provision for depreciation and depletion of O&G properties is computed on the unit-of-production method. Under this method,
we compute the provision by multiplying the total unamortized costs of O&G properties including future development, site restoration,
and dismantlement abandonment costs, but excluding costs of unproved properties by an overall rate determined by dividing the
physical units of O&G produced during the period by the total estimated units of proved O&G reserves. This calculation
is done on a field-by-field basis. As of September 30, 2014 and 2013 our oil production operations were conducted in the U.S.
The cost of unevaluated properties not being amortized, to the extent there is such a cost, is assessed quarterly to determine
whether the value has been impaired below the capitalized cost. The cost of any impaired property is transferred to the balance
of O&G properties being depleted. The costs associated with unevaluated properties relate to projects which were undergoing
exploration or development activities or in which we intend to commence such activities in the future. We will begin to amortize
these costs when proved reserves are established or impairment is determined. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 410 (“ASC
410”), “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” we record a liability for any legal retirement obligations
on our O&G properties. The asset retirement obligations represent the estimated present value of the amounts expected to be
incurred to plug, abandon, and remediate the producing properties at the end of their productive lives, in accordance with State
laws, as well as the estimated costs associated with the reclamation of the property surrounding. The Company determines the asset
retirement obligations by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to the liability. The asset retirement
obligations are recorded as a liability at the estimated present value as of the asset’s inception, with an offsetting increase
to producing properties. Periodic accretion of the discount related to the estimated liability is recorded as an expense in the
statement of operations.
The estimated
liability is determined using significant assumptions, including current estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, annual inflation
of these costs, the productive lives of wells, and a risk-adjusted interest rate. Changes in any of these assumptions can result
in significant revisions to the estimated asset retirement obligations. Revisions to the asset retirement obligations are recorded
with an offsetting change to producing properties, resulting in prospective changes to depletion and depreciation expense and
accretion of the discount. Because of the subjectivity of assumptions and the relatively long lives of most of the wells, the
costs to ultimately retire the Company’s wells may vary significantly from prior estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
We recognize
revenue upon transfer of ownership of the product to the customer which occurs when (i) the product is physically received by
the customer, (ii) an invoice is generated which evidences an arrangement between the customer and us, (iii) a fixed sales price
has been included in such invoice and (iv) collection from such customer is probable.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
Our Company
has not entered into any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement with an entity unconsolidated with us, except
as disclosed in our financial statements, under which we have:
● |
an
obligation under a guarantee contract, |
|
|
● |
a
retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to the unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit,
liquidity or market risk support to such entity for such assets, |
|
|
● |
any
obligation including a contingent obligation, under a contract that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument, or |
|
|
● |
any
obligation, including a contingent obligation, arising out of a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that is held
by us and material to us where such entity provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to, or engages
in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us. |

3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our Company
is a Smaller Reporting Company. A Smaller Reporting Company is not required to provide the disclosure information required by
this item.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures
The Company’s
management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s
“disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal
financial offer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the
Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (1) is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated
and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) as of September 30, 2014, utilizing a top-down, risk-based approach
described in SEC Release No. 34-55929 as suitable for smaller public companies. Based on this assessment, management determined
that the Company’s ICFR as of September 30, 2014 is not effective, and that, as of September 30, 2014, there were material
weaknesses in our ICFR. The material weaknesses identified during management’s assessment was the lack of independent oversight
by an audit committee of independent members of the Board of Directors. As defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board Auditing Standard No. 5, a material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Given
the difficulty of finding qualified individuals who are willing to serve as independent directors, there has been no change in
the audit committee. Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance
of records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, transactions and dispositions of assets; and provide reasonable
assurances that: (1) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S.
GAAP; (2) receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the
Company; and (3) unauthorized acquisitions, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect
on the Company’s financial statements are prevented or timely detected. All internal control systems, no matter how well
designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance
with respect to financial statement preparations and presentations. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm regarding ICFR. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the
Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC.
Except as
indicated herein, there were no changes in the Company’s ICFR during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s ICFR.
