Overview
Osage
Exploration and Development, Inc., (“Osage” or the “Company”) is an oil and natural gas exploration and
production company with proved reserves and existing production in the state of Oklahoma. We are headquartered in San Diego, California
with operations offices in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Mississippian
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 Oily 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.
Woodford Shale
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 world class
source rock underlies all of our Mississippian acreage.
Cimarrona
On
April 8, 2008, we entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Sunstone Corporation
pursuant to which we acquired from them 100% of the membership interests in Cimarrona Limited Liability Company (“Cimarrona
LLC”), an Oklahoma limited liability company. 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 twenty-one 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.
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. We had classified Cimarrona as discontinued operations from August 1, 2013, as it had received
an expression of interest and had concluded that a sale of its membership interests was in the best interest of stockholders.
The
sales price consisted of cash of $6,800,000, less settlement of debt of Cimarrona LLC of approximately $250,000. Of the net sales
price, $250,000 is being 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, as long as the per barrel transportation rate charged with
respect to the pipeline is not adjusted prior to March 31, 2014, then Raven will 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.
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.
Background
We
were organized September 9, 2004 as Osage Energy Company, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company. On April 24, 2006, we merged
with a non-reporting Nevada corporation trading on the Pink Sheets, Kachina Gold Corporation, which was the entity that survived
the merger. The merger was consummated through the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of our common stock. The financial records of
the Company prior to merger are those of Osage Energy Company, LLC.
The
Nevada corporation was incorporated under the laws of Canada, on February 24, 2003, as First Mediterranean Gold Resources, Inc.
The domicile of the Company was changed to the State of Nevada, on May 11, 2004. On May 24, 2004, the name of the Company was
changed to Advantage Opportunity Corp.
On
March 4, 2005, the Company changed its name to Kachina Gold Corporation. On April 24, 2006, Kachina Gold Corporation merged with
Osage Energy Company, LLC. and on May 15, 2006 changed its name to Osage Energy Corporation. On July 2, 2007, the domicile of
the Company was changed to Delaware and in connection therewith, the name of the Company was changed to Osage Exploration and
Development, Inc. On February 27, 2008, our stock began trading on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board market under the ticker “OEDV”.
Our
principal office is located at 2445 Fifth Avenue, Suite 310, San Diego, California 92101. Our phone number is (619) 677-3956.
Distribution
Methods
We
currently generate oil, natural gas and natural gas liquid sales from our production operations in the state of Oklahoma. Slawson
Exploration Company (“Slawson”) is the operator of the majority of our Logan County, Oklahoma, oil and gas properties
and the remainder are operated by three other operators, Stephens Production Company (“Stephens”), Devon Energy Production
Co. LLC (“Devon”), and Sundance Energy Co. All of the oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids produced at these properties
is sold by the operators on our behalf at market prices at the time of sale. Each operator is responsible for remitting our share
of the oil and gas revenues to us. There is significant demand for oil and gas and there are several companies in our area that
purchase oil from small oil producers.
In
2013, Slawson, Stephens and Devon accounted for 80.0%, 10.6% and 9.2% of our revenues from continuing operations, respectively.
In 2012, Slawson and Devon accounted for 97.4% and 0.7% of revenues from continuing operations, respectively.
Research
and Development
We
have not allocated funds to conducting research and development activities, nor do we anticipate allocating funds to research
and development in the future.
Patents,
Trademarks, Royalties, Etc.
We
have no patents, trademarks, licenses, concessions, or labor contracts.
Royalty
rates range from 12.5% to 25.0% on our leases in Logan, Coal and Pawnee counties in Oklahoma. Most of our leases require us to
drill a well on the lease within three years of entering into a lease. If we do not drill during that time and do not have an
option to extend the lease, we will lose that lease.
Government
Approvals
We
are required to get approval from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission before any work can begin on any well in Oklahoma and before
production can be sold. We have all of the required permits on the properties currently in operation.
Existing
or Probable Governmental Regulations
We,
currently, are active in the state of Oklahoma. The development and operation of oil and gas properties is highly regulated by
states and/or foreign governments. In some areas of exploration and production, the United States government or a foreign governmental
agency regulates the industry.
Regulations,
whether state or federal or international, control numerous aspects of drilling and operating oil and gas wells, including the
care of the environment, the safety of the workers and the public, and the relations with the owners and occupiers of the surface
lands within or near the leasehold acreage. The effect of these regulations, whether state or federal or international, is invariably
to increase the cost of operations.
The
costs of complying with state regulations include a permit for drilling a well before beginning a project. Other compliance matters
have to do with keeping the property free of oil spills and the plugging of wells when they no longer produce. If oil spills are
not cleaned up on a timely basis fines can be significant. We utilize consultants and independent contractors to visit and monitor
our properties in Oklahoma on a regular basis to prevent mishaps and ensure prompt attention and, if necessary, appropriate correction
and remedial activity. The other significant cost of compliance with state regulations is the plugging of wells after their useful
life. In most instances, there is pumping equipment and pipe which can be salvaged to offset some if not all of that cost. Plugging
a well consists of pumping cement into the well bore sufficient to prevent any oil and gas zone from ever leaking and contaminating
the fresh water supply.
Costs
and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws
There
is a cost in complying with environmental laws that is associated with each well that is drilled or operated, which cost is added
to the cost of the operation. Each well will have an additional cost associated with plugging and abandoning the well when it
is no longer commercially viable. As of December 31, 2013 we have not incurred any dismantlement and abandonment costs.
Employees
We
currently have six full-time employees, including two full-time executive employees: Kim Bradford, President, Chief Executive
Officer and Greg Franklin, Chief Geologist. We utilize third parties to provide certain operational, technical, accounting, finance
and administrative services. As production levels increase, we may need to hire additional personnel or expand the use of third
parties.
Facilities
We
lease 1,386 square feet of modern office space in San Diego, California as our corporate headquarters pursuant to a 36 month lease
from February 2011, which was renewed for an additional 36 month period through February 2017. Monthly rent is $2,980, $3,084
and $3,192 for the first, second and third years, respectively, of the renewal period.
In
December 2013, we entered into a 36 month lease commencing in March 2014 for 6,368 feet of executive office space for our production
offices in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Monthly rent for this space is $11,114 for the entire duration of the lease.
In
the case of both of these leases we are also responsible for our proportionate share of common area expenses.

1A. Risk Factors
Cautionary
Note on Forward Looking Statements
In
addition to the other information in this annual report the factors listed below should be considered in evaluating our business
and prospects. This annual report contains a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect
to future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including
those discussed below and elsewhere herein, that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those
anticipated. In this report, the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,”
“future” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned to consider the specific
factors described below and not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as
of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements, to reflect events or circumstances
that may arise after the date hereof.
Risks
Relating to Our Business
We
have a history of losses and may incur future losses.
We
have incurred significant operating losses in prior years and at December 31, 2013 had an accumulated deficit of $4,219,480. In
2013, we recognized a one-time gain of $4,873,660 on the sale of 100% of our membership interests in Cimarrona, LLC. Given the
level of operating expenditures and the uncertainty of revenues and margins, we may continue to incur losses and negative cash
flows in future periods. The failure to obtain sufficient revenues and margins to support operating expenses could harm our business.
The audit opinion in the accompanying consolidated financial statements has a paragraph expressing substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
We
have limited operating capital.
To
continue growth and to fund our expansion plans, we will require additional financing. The amount of capital available to us is
limited, and may not be sufficient to enable us to fully execute our growth plans without additional fund raising. Additional
financing may be required to meet our objectives and provide more working capital for expanding our development and marketing
capabilities and to achieve our ultimate plan of expansion and full scale of operations. There is no assurance we will be able
to obtain such financing on attractive terms, if at all.
We
do not intend to pay dividends to our stockholders.
We
do not currently intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any dividends at any time in the
foreseeable future. At present, we will follow a policy of retaining all of our earnings, if any, to finance development and expansion
of our business.
Our
officers and directors have limited liability, and we are required in certain instances to indemnify our officers and directors
for breaches of their fiduciary duties.
We
have adopted provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws which limit the liability of our officers and directors
and provide for indemnification by us of our officers and directors to the full extent permitted by Delaware corporate law. Our
Certificate of Incorporation generally provides that our officers and directors shall have no personal liability to us or our
stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for breaches of their duties of
loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, acts involving
unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or any transaction from which a director derives an
improper personal benefit. Such provisions substantially limit our stockholders’ ability to hold officers and directors
liable for breaches of fiduciary duty, and may require us to indemnify our officers and directors.
We
face great competition.
We
compete against many other energy companies, some of which have considerably greater resources and abilities. These competitors
may have greater marketing and sales capacity, established distribution networks, significant goodwill and global name recognition.
Our
success depends to a significant degree upon the involvement of our management, who are in charge of our strategic planning and
operations. We may need to attract and retain additional talented individuals in order to carry out our business objectives. The
competition for such persons could be intense and there are no assurances that these individuals will be available to us.
Our
business is subject to extensive regulation.
Many
of our activities are subject to federal, state and/or local regulation, and as these rules are subject to constant change or
amendment, there can be no assurance that our operations will not be adversely affected by new or different government regulations,
laws or court decisions applicable to our operations.
Government
regulation and liability for environmental matters may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Crude
oil and natural gas operations are subject to extensive international, federal, state and local government regulations, which
may be changed from time to time. Matters subject to regulation include discharge permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds,
reports concerning operations, the spacing of wells, unitization and pooling of properties and taxation. From time to time, regulatory
agencies have imposed price controls and limitations on production by restricting the rate of flow of crude oil and natural gas
wells below actual production capacity in order to conserve supplies of crude oil and natural gas. There are international, federal,
state and local laws and regulations primarily relating to protection of human health and the environment applicable to the development,
production, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of crude oil and natural gas, by products thereof and other substances
and materials produced or used in connection with crude oil and natural gas operations. In addition, we may inherit liability
for environmental damages caused by previous owners of property we purchase or lease. As a result, we may incur substantial liabilities
to third parties or governmental entities. We are also subject to changing and extensive tax laws, the effects of which cannot
be predicted. The implementation of new, or the modification of existing, laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect
on us.
The
reserves we report in our SEC filings are estimates and may prove to be inaccurate.
There
are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating crude oil and natural gas reserves and their estimated values. The reserves
we report in our filings with the SEC are only estimates and may prove to be inaccurate because of these uncertainties. Reservoir
engineering is a subjective and inexact process of estimating underground accumulations of crude oil, natural gas and natural
gas liquids that cannot be measured in an exact manner. Estimates of economically recoverable crude oil and natural gas reserves
depend upon a number of variable factors, such as historical production from the area compared with production from other producing
areas and assumptions concerning effects of regulations by governmental agencies, future crude oil and natural gas prices, future
operating costs, severance and excise taxes, development costs and work-over and remedial costs. Some or all of these assumptions
may in fact vary considerably from actual results. For these reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable quantities of
crude oil and natural gas attributable to any particular group of properties, classifications of such reserves based on risk of
recovery, and estimates of the future net cash flows expected there from prepared by different engineers or by the same engineers
but at different times may vary substantially. Accordingly, reserve estimates may be subject to downward or upward adjustment.
Actual production, revenue and expenditures with respect to our reserves will likely vary from estimates, and such variances may
be material.
Crude
oil prices are highly volatile in general and low prices will negatively affect our financial results.
Our
revenues, operating results, profitability, cash flow, future rate of growth and ability to borrow funds or obtain additional
capital are substantially dependent upon prevailing prices of crude oil. Lower crude oil and natural gas prices also may reduce
the amount of crude oil and natural gas that we can produce economically. Historically, the markets for crude oil and natural
gas have been very volatile, and such markets are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. Prices for crude oil and natural
gas are subject to wide fluctuation in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for crude oil and natural
gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control, including: worldwide and domestic supplies
of crude oil and natural gas; the level of consumer product demand; weather conditions; domestic and foreign governmental regulations;
the price and availability of alternative fuels; political instability or armed conflict in oil producing regions; the price and
level of foreign imports; and overall domestic and global economic conditions.
At
our Oklahoma properties, we sold oil at $88.90 to $106.32 per barrel in 2013 compared to $79.79 to $106.49 per barrel in 2012.
We have entered into certain derivative financial instruments to partially mitigate the risk of lower oil and gas prices.
Risks
Relating to Trading in Our Common stock
The
market price for our common stock may be volatile, and you may not be able to sell our stock at a favorable price or at all.
Many
factors could cause the market price of our common stock to rise and fall, including: actual or anticipated variations in our
quarterly results of operations; changes in market valuations of companies in our industry; changes in expectations of future
financial performance; fluctuations in stock market prices and volumes; issuances of dilutive common stock or other securities
in the future; the addition or departure of key personnel; and the increase or decline in the price of oil and natural gas. It
is possible that the proceeds from sales of our common stock may not equal or exceed the prices you paid for it plus the costs
and fees of making the sales.
Substantial
sales of our common stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.
We
cannot predict whether future issuances of our common stock or resales in the open market by current stockholders will decrease
the market price of our common stock. The impact of any such issuances or resales of our common stock on our market price may
be increased as a result of the fact that our common stock is thinly, or infrequently, traded. The exercise of any options, warrants
or the vesting of any restricted stock that we may grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants in the future, the
issuance of common stock in connection with acquisitions and other issuances of our common stock could have an adverse effect
on the market price of our common stock. In addition, future issuances of our common stock may be dilutive to existing stockholders.
Any sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could
lower the market price of our common stock.
Our
common stock is considered to be a “penny stock” security under the Exchange Act rules, which may limit the marketability
of our securities.
Our
securities are considered low-priced or “designated” securities under rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. Under
these rules, broker/dealers participating in transactions in low-priced securities must first deliver a risk disclosure document
which describes the risks associated with such stocks, the broker/dealers’ duties, the customer’s rights and remedies,
certain market and other information, and make a suitability determination approving the customer for low-priced stock transactions
based on the customer’s financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker/dealers must also disclose these
restrictions in writing to the customer and obtain specific written consent of the customer, and provide monthly account statements
to the customer. The likely effect of these restrictions is a decrease in the willingness of broker/dealers to make a market in
the stock, decreased liquidity of the stock and increased transaction costs for sales and purchases of the stock as compared to
other securities.

2. Properties
The
principal assets of the Company consist of proved and unproved oil and gas properties and oil and gas production related equipment.
Our oil and gas properties are located in the state of Oklahoma.
Developed
oil and gas properties are those on which sufficient wells have been drilled to economically recover the estimated reserves calculated
for the property. Undeveloped properties do not presently have sufficient wells to recover the estimated reserves.
There
are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves and in projecting future rates of production and
timing of development expenditures, including many factors beyond the control of the Company and the operators. The reserve data
set forth in Supplemental Information to Consolidated Financial Statements represent only estimates. Reserve engineering is a
subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of crude oil and condensate, natural gas liquids and natural gas that
cannot be measured in an exact manner. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the amount and quality of available
data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. As a result, estimates of different engineers normally vary.
In addition, results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of an estimate may justify revision of such estimate
upward or downward. Accordingly, reserve estimates are often different from the quantities ultimately recovered. The meaningfulness
of such estimates is highly dependent upon the accuracy of the assumptions upon which they were based.
Management
maintains internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that the estimates of proved reserves are computed and reported
in accordance with rules and regulations as promulgated by the SEC. The Company retained Pinnacle Energy Services, LLC (“Pinnacle”)
to independently prepare estimates of our oil and gas reserves in our properties in Logan County, Oklahoma. Management is responsible
for providing the following information related to our oil and gas properties to the firm: working and net revenue interests,
historical production rates, current operating and future development costs, and geoscience, engineering and other information.
Greg Franklin, our Chief Geologist, reviews the final reserve estimate for completeness and reasonableness and, if necessary,
discusses the process used and findings with the designated technical person at Pinnacle. Our Chief Geologist has over 25 years
of oil and gas experience. The technical person primarily responsible for audit of our reserve estimates at Pinnacle meets the
requirements regarding qualifications, independence, objectivity, and confidentiality set forth in the Standards Pertaining to
the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers. Pinnacle is
an independent firm of petroleum engineers, geologists, geophysicists, and petro physicists; they do not own an interest in our
properties and are not employed on a contingent fee basis. Reserve estimates are imprecise and subjective and may change at any
time as additional information becomes available. Furthermore, estimates of oil and gas reserves are projections based on engineering
data. There are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of this data as well as the projection of future rates of production.
The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation
and judgment.
The
Company’s estimated future net recoverable oil and gas reserves from proved reserves, both developed and undeveloped properties,
were assembled by Pinnacle for the properties in Logan County, Oklahoma as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and are

Dividends
We
have declared no cash dividends on our common stock since inception. There are no restrictions that limit our ability to pay dividends
on our common stock or that are likely to do so in the future other than the restrictions set forth in Section 170(b) of the Delaware
General Corporation Law that provides that a company may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock either
(1) out of its surplus, as defined in and computed in accordance with Sections 154 and 244 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law, or (2) in case there shall be no such surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared
and/or the preceding fiscal year. We have not declared, paid cash dividends, or made distributions in the past. We do not anticipate
that we will pay cash dividends or make distributions in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain and reinvest future
earnings to finance operations.

7. 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 $6,800,000, less settlement of debt of Cimarrona LLC of approximately $250,000. Of the net
sales price, $250,000 will 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 is not adjusted prior to March 31, 2014, then Raven will pay the Company an additional $1,000,000 in cash
within five business days of that date.
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.
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 is responsible for up to 25% of the total well costs.
Revenue from wells drilled pursuant to the Participation Agreement, after royalty payments, is 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”) which amended Participation
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.
As
a result of the Partition Agreement, Osage has become the project operator on a majority of its acreage in the Nemaha Ridge Project.
As of December 31, 2013, Osage was allocated approximately 5,014 net acres (9,734 gross) in thirty sections, and remains joint-venture
partners with the Slawson in approximately 4,181 net acres (26,823 gross) across forty-five sections.
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 December 31, 2013, the Company had 4,190 net acres (5,085 gross) leased in Pawnee County. As of December 31, 2013, none
of these leases have been assigned to B&W.
In
2011, we also began to acquire leases in Coal County, Oklahoma, targeting the Woodford Shale formation. The Woodford 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 December 31, 2013, we had 4,253 net (9,509 gross) acres leased in Coal County.
At
December 31, 2013, we have leased 51,151 gross (17,638 net) acres across three counties in Oklahoma as follows:

The
Company has accumulated deficits of $4,219,480 and $8,074,786 and working capital deficits of $12,961,622 and $643,843 as of December
31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
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.
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 within the next 12 months, (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 and on
April 5, 2013 we amended this agreement, increasing the facility to $20,000,000. As of December 31, 2013, as a result of production
delays outside of the Company’s control, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants including the minimum
production covenant under the senior secured note purchase agreement. (see Note 6 - Debt in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements).
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 $6.5 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 will receive 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.

Oil
Sales
Oil
sales were $7,339,943, in 2013, an increase of $5,309,347, or 261.5%, compared to $2,030,596 in 2012. The increase in oil sales
is due to additional wells in production in Logan County, Oklahoma. We sold 74,567 barrels (“BBLs”) in 2013 at an
average gross price of $97.31 per barrel, compared to 22,146 BBLs in 2012 at an average price of $94.13 per barrel.
Natural
Gas Sales
Natural
gas sales comprise revenues from the sale of natural gas and natural gas liquids. Natural gas sales were $689,145 for the year
ended December 31, 2013 compared to $233,417 for the year ended December 31, 2012. All of our natural gas sales are from the well
production in Logan County, Oklahoma. Natural gas production is measured in a 1,000 cubic foot unit referred to as a “Mcf.”
and natural gas liquid production is measured in BBLs. We sold 141,506 Mcf of natural gas at an average of $3.97 per Mcf in 2013
compared to 50,430 Mcf at $4.74 per Mcf in 2012. The price achieved per BBL for 3,306 BBLs of natural gas liquids in 2013 was
$28.88 and there were no sales of natural gas liquids in 2012.

Well
operating expenses
Our
well operating expenses in 2013 were $1,547,949, an increase of $1,289,263, or 498.4% compared to $258,686 in 2012, due primarily
to an increase in the number of wells in operation in Logan County, Oklahoma. Operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues
increased to 19.3% in 2013 from 11.4% in 2012, as the percentage increase in operating expenses was greater than the percentage
increase in revenues as new wells came into production. Production Cost/BOE for 2013 was $14.76 compared to $7.26 for 2012.
General
and administrative expenses
General
and administrative expenses in 2013 were $2,613,920, a decrease of $48,002, or 1.8%, compared to $2,661,922 in 2012. The decrease
is primarily due to a reduction in stock based compensation of $368,277 to $528,417 in 2013 and a reduction in legal and professional
fees of $104,427 to $406,513 in 2013, partially offset by an increase in salaries of $242,938 to $932,380 in 2013 and an increase
in insurance of $70,711 to $176,478 in 2013. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses reduced to 32.6%
in 2013 from 117.6% in 2012.
Depreciation,
depletion and accretion
Depreciation,
depletion and accretion were $2,320,411 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and $314,540 for the year ended December 31, 2012,
an increase of $2,005,901 or 637.7%, due to increased wells in production. 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 $1,546,778 in 2013 compared to an operating loss of $992,734 in 2012. The improvement in operating results of $2,539,512
was due to the increase in revenues of $5,765,075 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31,
2012, partially offset by the $3,225,563 increase in operating expenses during the same period.
Interest
expense
Interest
expense was $4,566,246 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $1,390,277 for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase
of $3,175,969. The increase in interest expense during the 2013 period was primarily due to increased borrowings with respect
to the Note Purchase Agreement. Cash interest expense in 2013 amounted to $2,999,838, and non-cash interest expense in 2013 of
$1,566,408 was comprised of amortization of deferred financing fees of $1,295,348 in connection with the Note Purchase Agreement
and amortization of debt discount of $271,060 with respect to the Secured Promissory Note.
Oil
and gas derivatives
Oil
and gas derivatives reflected an unrealized loss of $357,567 for the year ended December 31, 2013 as a result of marking open
financial derivative instruments to market as of December 31, 2013 and losses realized on financial derivative instruments settled
of $138,236 during the year then ended. There were no open financial derivative instruments as of December 31, 2012.
Provision
for income taxes
Provision
for income taxes was $1,624 for 2013 and zero for 2012. The 2013 provision represented minimum state corporation tax assessments.
Loss
from continuing operations
Loss
from continuing operations was $3,514,895 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to a loss of $2,380,133 for the year ended
December 31, 2012. The $2,539,512 increase in operating income was more than offset by the $3,175,969 increase in interest expense
and the $495,803 loss on oil and gas derivatives in the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the prior year period.
Income
from discontinued operations net of income taxes
Income
from discontinued operations net of income taxes was $2,496,541 in the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to income of $1,863,427
in the prior year period. The income in 2013 represents income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the effective date
of the sale of the discontinued operations, and includes a benefit of $531,644 related to an amnesty for certain 2003 equity taxes.
Gain
on disposal of discontinued operations
The
Company recorded a gain of $4,873,660 on the sale of Cimarrona, LLC which comprised certain oil and pipeline assets and operations
in Colombia.
Net
income (loss)
Net
income was $3,855,306 in 2013 compared to a net loss of $516,706 in 2012. The increase in loss from continuing operations of $1,134,762
was more than offset by the increase in income from discontinued operations after taxes of $633,114 and the gain on the sale of
discontinued operations of $4,873,660 when comparing 2013 to 2012.
Foreign
currency translation adjustment attributable to discontinued operations
Foreign
currency translation gain was $24,153 in 2013 compared to a loss of $21,460 in 2012, as a result of favorable trends in the Colombian
Peso to Dollar exchange rate.
Comprehensive
income (loss)
Comprehensive
income was $3,879,459 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to a comprehensive loss of $538,166 for the year ended December
31, 2012. The increase in net income of $4,372,012 to $3,855,306 in 2013 from a loss in 2012 was the primary contributor, along
with the foreign currency translation gain of $24,153 compared to a loss of $21,460 in 2012.
Income
(loss) per share
Basic
and diluted loss per share from continuing operations was $0.07 in 2013 compared to a loss per share of $0.05 in 2012. Basic and
diluted income per share from discontinued operations in 2013 was $0.15, compared to $0.04 in 2012, primarily due to the gain
of $4,873,660 on the sale of discontinued operations.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
had a working capital deficit of $12,961,622 at December 31, 2013, compared to working capital deficit of $643,843 at December
31, 2012. The increase in the working capital deficit is primarily as a result of the $17,000,000 increase in notes payable, partially
offset by the $2,296,438 increase in cash and equivalents.
Net
cash provided by operating activities was $80,491 in 2013 compared to $1,962,071 in 2012. The major components of net cash provided
by operating activities in 2013 were the $3,855,306 net income, the $2,320,213 provision for depreciation, depletion and accretion
and the $1,295,348 amortization of deferred financing costs almost fully offset by the gain on sale of oil & gas properties
of $4,873,660, the increase of $2,660,855 in accounts receivable and the decrease of $1,267,320 in accrued expenses. The major
components of net cash provided by operating activities in 2012 were the $568,777 provision for depreciation, depletion and accretion,
the amortization of deferred financing costs of $734,976,
the
increase in accrued expenses of $687,887
and warrants and
shares issued for services of $448,111 and $448,583, respectively, offset by the $516,706 net loss and the increase in accounts
receivable of $363,548.
Net
cash used by investing activities was $12,365,388 in 2013 compared to $8,098,036 in 2012. Net cash used by investing activities
in 2013 consisted primarily of $17,891,932 investment in oil & gas properties, partially offset by $6,295,193 net proceeds
from the sale of oil & gas properties. Net cash used by investing activities in 2012 consisted primarily of $12,781,375 investment
in oil & gas properties, partially offset by $4,686,610 net proceeds from assignment of leases.
Net
cash provided by financing activities was $14,552,815 and $4,831,308 in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net cash provided in 2013
consisted primarily of proceeds of $17,000,000 from secured promissory notes, partially offset by $2,500,000 in principal repayments
on secured promissory notes. Net cash provided in 2012 consisted primarily of $5,500,000 of borrowing on secured promissory notes,
partially offset by payment of $670,692 of deferred financing costs.
Net
operating revenues from our oil production are very sensitive to changes in the price of oil making it very difficult for management
to predict whether or not we will be profitable in the future.
We
conduct no product research and development. Any expected purchase of significant equipment is directly related to drilling operations
and the completion of successful wells.
We
are responsible for any contamination of land we own or lease. However, we carry pollution liability insurance policies, which
may limit some potential contamination liabilities as well as claims for reimbursement from third parties.
Item
7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We
have material exposure to interest rate changes, as our $20,000,000 secured promissory note carries an interest rate of the London
interbank overnight rate (“Libor”) plus 15%, with a Libor floor of 2%. We are subject to changes in the price of oil,
which are out of our control. At our Oklahoma Properties, we sold oil at $88.90 to $106.32 per barrel in 2013 compared to $79.79
to $106.49 per barrel in 2012.
Effect
of Changes in Prices
Changes
in prices during the past few years have been a significant factor in the oil and gas industry. The price received for the oil
produced by us fluctuated significantly during the last year. Changes in the price that we receive for our oil and natural gas
is set by market forces beyond our control as well as governmental intervention. The volatility and uncertainty in oil and natural
gas prices have made it more difficult for a company like us to increase our oil and natural gas asset base and become a significant
participant in the oil and gas industry. We currently sell the majority our oil and natural gas production to Slawson, Stephens
and Devon. However, in the event these customers discontinued oil and gas purchases, we believe we can replace them with other
customers which would purchase the oil and gas at terms standard in the industry.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation
of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition,
recovery of oil and gas reserves, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation.
Oil
and Gas Properties
We
follow the “successful efforts” method of accounting for our oil and gas exploration and development activities, as
set forth in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 19, as codified by FASB ASC topic 932. Under this method,
we initially capitalize expenditures for oil and gas property acquisitions until they are either determined to be successful (capable
of commercial production) or unsuccessful. The carrying value of all undeveloped oil and gas properties is evaluated periodically
and reduced if such carrying value appears to have been impaired. Leasehold costs relating to successful oil and gas 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 charged to operations in the period the wells are determined to be
unsuccessful.
The
provision for depreciation and depletion of oil and gas properties is computed on the unit-of-production method. Under this method,
we compute the provision by multiplying the total unamortized costs of oil and gas 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 oil and gas produced during the period by the total estimated units of proved oil and gas reserves.
This calculation is done on a field-by-field basis. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, our oil and natural gas production continuing
operations were conducted in Logan County in the state of Oklahoma. 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 oil and gas 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 SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” as codified by FASB ASC topic 410, we
report a liability for any legal retirement obligations on our oil and gas 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.
We
recognize sales from our properties using the sales method. Under the sales method, the working interest owners recognize sales
of oil and gas regardless of the amount produced for the period. The sales method assumes that any production sold by a working
interest owner comes from that party’s share of the total reserves in place. Thus, whatever quantity is sold in any given
period is the revenue for that party. No receivables, payables or unearned revenue are recorded unless a working interest owner’s
aggregate sales from the property exceed its share of the total reserves in place.
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 the consolidated 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.

8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Our
consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013 and for the year then ended were audited by Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C.
an independent registered accounting firm. Our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012 and for the year then
ended were audited by MaloneBailey, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm. These consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles pursuant to Regulation S-X as promulgated by the
SEC. The aforementioned consolidated financial statements are included herein starting with page F-1.
Item
9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
In
January 2014 we dismissed MaloneBailey, LLP and appointed Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. as our independent public accounting firm
for the 2013. There were no disagreements with either independent public accounting firm on accounting or financial disclosure.
Item
9A. Controls and Procedures
(a)
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The
Company’s management, including the Company’s 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 Exchange Act. Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer
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 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.
(b)
Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The
management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.
The internal control process has been designed under our supervision to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Management
conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2013, 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 internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2013 is not effective. Based on this assessment, management has determined that, as of December 31, 2013, there were material
weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. 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 accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States; (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.
(c)
Changes to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Except
as indicated herein, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter
ending December 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE
OF OPERATIONS
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.
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.
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 affect on the reported results in 2013 or 2012.
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.
USE
OF ESTIMATES
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“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 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 included the use of proved oil and gas reserve volumes and the related present
value of estimated future net revenues there-from (See Note 15: Supplemental Information About Oil and Gas Producing Activities).
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.
DEFERRED
FINANCING COSTS
The
Company incurred deferred financing costs in connection with the Note Purchase Agreement (see Note 6), which represented the fair
value of warrants, placement fees and legal fees. Deferred financing costs of $3,859,448 are being amortized over the term of
the Note Purchase Agreement on a straight-line basis.
During
the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, the Company made payments of $200,000 and $670,692 for deferred financing
fees in connection with the Note Purchase Agreement.
Deferred
financing costs at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $1,829,124 and $2,924,472, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing
costs was $1,295,348 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and $734,976 for the year ended December 31, 2012.
FAIR
VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As
of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of cash, accounts receivable, short term debt and accounts payable
approximate carrying values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 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 us 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 December 31, 2013 the Company identified certain derivative financial instruments which required disclosure at fair value on
the balance sheet.

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 2013 and 2012. 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 four customers in 2013
and three customers in 2012. (See “Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts” below).
RESTRICTED
CASH
In
connection with the Apollo Note Purchase Agreement, as amended (see Note 6), the Company has classified $850,000, representing
three months interest, as restricted cash as of December 31, 2013. In connection with the Boothbay Secured Promissory Note (see
Note 6) the Company was required to deposit certain royalty interests of Boothbay’s into joint accounts held by the Company
for the benefit of Boothbay. The royalty interests at December 31, 2012 were $102,467 and there were no royalty interests at December
31, 2013 as the Secured Promissory Note had been repaid in full. The Company has also pledged $58,645 for certain bonds and sureties.
Restricted cash at December 31, 2013 was $908,645, compared to $157,467 at December 31, 2012.
ACCOUNTS
RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
The
Company recognizes accounts receivable when sales are invoiced and regularly reviews accounts receivable for doubtful accounts.
During
the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company sold 80% of its oil and gas production to one customer, Slawson Exploration Company
(“Slawson”). However, the Company believes it can sell all its production to many different purchasers, most of whom
pay similar prices that vary with the international spot market prices. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable
through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its
customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts
and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited. The Company
had no allowance as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. The analysis was based on its evaluation of specific customers’ balances
and the collectability thereof.
OIL
AND GAS PROPERTIES
Osage
is an exploration and production oil and natural gas company with proved reserves and existing production in the state of Oklahoma.
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 charged to operations in the period the wells are determined to be
unsuccessful. The costs of drilling and equipping development wells are capitalized, whether the wells are successful or unsuccessful.
The
provision for depreciation and depletion of oil and gas properties is computed by the unit-of-production method. Under this method,
the Company computes the provision by multiplying the total costs of oil and gas 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 oil and gas produced during the period by the total estimated units of proved oil and gas reserves.
This calculation is done on a field-by-field basis.
As of December 31, 2013
and 2012, the Company’s oil
production from continuing
operations are conducted
in the United States of America. The cost of
undeveloped
properties not being amortized,
to the extent there is such a cost, is assessed quarterly
based on the estimated economic chance
of success and the length of time that the Company expects to hold the properties
to determine whether the value has been impaired below the capitalized cost. The costs associated with unevaluated properties
relate to projects which were undergoing exploration or development activities or in which the Company intends to commence such
activities in the future. The Company will begin to amortize these costs when proved reserves are established or impairment is
determined. Management believes no such impairment exists at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
The
Company follows the “successful efforts” method of accounting for its oil and gas exploration and development activities,
as set forth in FASB ASC topic 932. Under this method, the Company initially capitalizes expenditures for oil and gas property
acquisitions until they are either determined to be successful (capable of commercial production) or unsuccessful. The carrying
value of all undeveloped oil and gas properties is evaluated periodically and reduced if such carrying value appears to have been
impaired. Leasehold costs relating to successful oil and gas properties remain capitalized while leasehold costs which have been
proved unsuccessful are charged to operations in the period the leasehold costs are proved unsuccessful. Costs of carrying and
retaining unproved properties are expensed as incurred.
ASSET
RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
In
accordance with FASB ASC topic 410, the Company reports a liability for any legal retirement obligations on its oil and gas 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 interest 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.
OTHER
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Non-oil
and gas producing properties and equipment are stated at cost; major renewals and improvements are charged to the property and
equipment accounts; while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets,
are expensed as incurred. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated
depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged
to operations.
Depreciation
for non-oil and gas properties is recorded on the straight-line method at rates based on estimated useful lives ranging from three
to fifteen years of the assets.
IMPAIRMENT
OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The
Company follows the guidance provided under FASB ASC Topic 360 (“ASC 360”), “Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived
assets. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with ASC
360. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are
present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts.
In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived
assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced
for the cost of disposal. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not record impairment charges related
to its long-lived assets.
REVENUE
RECOGNITION
Revenues
from the sale of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids are recognized when the product is delivered at a fixed or determinable
price, title has transferred, collectability is reasonably assured and evidenced by a contract. The Company follows the sales
method of accounting for its oil and natural gas revenue, so it recognizes revenue on all crude oil, natural gas and natural gas
liquids sold to purchasers, regardless of whether the sales are proportionate to its ownership in the property. A receivable or
liability is recognized only to the extent that the Company has an imbalance on a specific property greater than the expected
remaining proved reserves. The Company has no imbalance positions at December 31, 2013 or 2012, and no receivables, payables or
unearned revenue are recorded.
STOCK
BASED COMPENSATION
The
Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with FASC ASC topic 718. The Company recognizes in the statement
of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees.
For stock-based awards the value is based on the market value for the stock on the date of grant and if the stock has restrictions
as to transferability a discount is provided for lack of tradability. Stock option awards are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model. For shares issued for services or property, the value is based on the market value for the stock on the date of grant.
INCOME
TAXES
The
Company follows FASB ASC Topic 740 (“ASC 740”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” When tax
returns are filed, it is likely some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others
are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained.
The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence,
management believes it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals
or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet
the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely
of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions
taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying
balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.
Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling,
general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Due to a history of operating losses, the Company
records a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.
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.
EARNINGS
(LOSS) PER SHARE
In
accordance with FASB 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 years ended December 31, 2013 and

RECENTLY
ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The
Company does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements.
2.
GOING CONCERN
The
Company has an accumulated deficit of $4,219,480 and a working capital deficit of $12,961,622 as of December 31, 2013. As of December
31, 2013, as a result of production delays outside of the Company’s control, the Company was not in compliance with certain
covenants including the minimum production covenant under the senior secured note purchase agreement. (see Note 6 - Debt). These
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
On
April 27, 2012, we entered into a $10,000,000 senior secured note purchase agreement with Apollo Investment Corporation and on
April 5, 2013 we amended this agreement, increasing the facility to $20,000,000.
In
early 2014, the Company raised approximately $6.5 million of gross proceeds in a private placement. (See Note 14 - Subsequent
Events)
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 within the next 12 months, (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.
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.

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 is responsible for up to 25% of the total well costs.
Revenue from wells drilled pursuant to the Participation Agreement, after royalty payments, is 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 does 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”) which amended the Participation
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.
As
a result of the Partition Agreement, Osage has become the project operator on a majority of its acreage in the Nemaha Ridge Project.
As of December 31, 2013, Osage operated approximately 5,014 net acres (9,734 gross) in thirty sections, and remains joint-venture
partners with the Slawson in approximately 4,181 net acres (26,823 gross) across forty-five sections.
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 December 31, 2013, the Company had 4,190 net
acres (5,085 gross) leased in Pawnee County. As of December 31, 2013, none of these leases have been assigned to B&W.
In
2011, we also began to acquire leases in Coal County, Oklahoma, targeting the Oily Woodford Shale formation. The Oily Wood ford
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 December 31, 2013, we had 4,253 net (9,509 gross) acres leased in Coal
County.
At
December 31, 2013, we have leased 51,151 gross (17,638 net) acres across three counties in Oklahoma as follows:

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 mature 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.
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 amendment also provided a waiver of
certain covenants as of March 31, 2013, as the Company did not meet certain covenants including the minimum production covenant
as of that date. 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
13. This sale satisfied the requirements of the amendment and the Company is thus not obligated to issue additional Warrants to
Apollo.
During
the year ended December 31, 2013, we drew down $17,000,000 and, as of December 31, 2013, the amount outstanding under the Note
Purchase Agreement was $20,000,000.
The
Company has recorded deferred financing costs in the aggregate amount of $3,859,448 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 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 also obligated
to pay a quarterly standby fee, which accrues at a rate of 3.0%, on the amount of undrawn funds equal to the difference between
$5,000,000 and the aggregate principal amount of notes issued on or after the closing date. 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

As
of December 31, 2013, as a result of production delays outside of the Company’s control, the Company was not in compliance
with certain covenants including the minimum production covenant. The Company believes Apollo will provide a waiver of these covenants
as of that date. The Company has classified amounts outstanding under the Note Purchase Agreement as short term in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
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, Secured Promissory Note and certain terms of the Partition Agreement with Slawson,
the Company recognized $4,566,246 of interest expense, of which $2,999,838 was cash interest expense, for the year ended December
31, 2013. Non-cash interest expense related to the Note Purchase Agreement and the Secured Promissory Note represented $1,295,348
and $271,060 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company recognized $1,288,841 of interest expense, of which $538,889 was
cash interest expense, for the year ended December 31, 2012. Non-cash interest expense related to the Note Purchase Agreement

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The
Company entered into certain derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of its oil and gas production in the year
ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2013, 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.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
ENVIRONMENT
Osage,
as owner and operator of oil and gas fields, 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 that 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 December 31, 2013, 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. In December 2013, the Company entered into a
three year lease for office space in Oklahoma City.
Rental
expense totaled $58,147 and $57,344 in 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Future

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 June 30, 2013, upon receipt of official confirmation that the liability is fully settled.
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.

At
December 31, 2013, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $9.9 million which expire
at various dates through 2032.
Pursuant
to Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, use of the Company’s net operating loss and credit carryforwards may be limited
if a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% occurs within a three-year period. These financial statements do not contain
any adjustment relating to such potential limitations. The Company is subject to tax in the United States and in the state of
California. As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s tax years from 2010 are subject to examination by the tax authorities.
The Company is not currently under examination by any U.S. federal or state jurisdictions.
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of Osage’s deferred tax
assets and liabilities are as follows at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

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 oil 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 to the extent that the liability
exists on the balance sheet. Differences between 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 asset retirement
obligations. No income tax is applicable to the asset retirement obligation as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, because the Company
records a valuation allowance on deductible temporary differences due to the uncertainty of its realization. A reconciliation
of the Company’s asset retirement obligations from the periods presented is as follows:

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 $6,800,000, less settlement of debt of Cimarrona LLC of approximately $250,000. Of the net sales
price, $250,000 will 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 is not adjusted prior to March 31, 2014, then Raven will 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.
Accordingly,
the assets and liabilities of the Colombian operations are classified as Held for Sale in the balance sheet as of December 31,
2012, with the exception of cash of $150,950.

The
Cimarrona property is subject to an Association Contract whereby 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 not possible to estimate the potential liability, if any.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
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 $6.5 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 will receive placement fees of 8%, in cash or warrants or a combination thereof at their election.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ABOUT OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED)
Pinnacle
Energy Services, LLC prepared reserve estimates for the year end reports for 2013 and 2012 for our continuing operations in Logan
County, Oklahoma. Management cautions that there are many inherent uncertainties in estimating proved reserve quantities and related
revenues and expenses, and in projecting future production rates and the timing and amount of development expenditures. Accordingly,
these estimates will change, as further information becomes available.
Proved
oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil, condensate, 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, i.e. prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made. Prices include consideration of
changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on escalations based on future conditions.
Proved
developed reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.
FASB
ASC Topic 932, “Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies”, requires disclosure of certain
financial data for oil and gas operations and reserve estimates or oil and gas. This information, presented here is intended to
enable the reader to better evaluate the operations of the Company. All of the Company’s oil and gas reserves from continuing
operations are located in the United States.
The
aggregate amount of capitalized costs relating to oil and gas producing activities and the related accumulated depletion, depreciation,
amortization and valuation allowances as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

The
foregoing estimates have been prepared by Pinnacle Energy Services, LLC for the Logan County, Oklahoma property. The reserve estimates
are believed to be reasonable and consistent with presently known physical data concerning size and character of the reservoirs
and are subject to change as additional knowledge concerning the reservoirs becomes available.
Depletion,
depreciation and accretion per equivalent unit of production was $22.00 and $8.05 for 2013 and 2012.
FASB
ASC Topic 932, “Disclosure About Oil and Gas Producing Activities”, requires certain disclosures of the costs and
results of exploration and production activities and established a standardized measure of oil and gas reserves and the year-to-year
changes therein.
Cost
incurred, both capitalized and expenses, for oil and gas property acquisition, exploration and development for the years ended
December 31, 2013 and 2012 were are follows:

Future
cash inflows were computed by applying the average prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes only to the extent
provided by contractual arrangements) and using the estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the
proved reserves, assuming the continuation of existing economic conditions.
The
average prices used in the reserve estimate for oil were $96.94 per BBL in 2013 and $94.71 per BBL in 2012. For natural gas, the
average prices used in the reserve estimate were $3.67 per Mcf in 2013 and $2.757 per Mcf in 2012.
Future
income tax expenses were computed by applying statutory income tax rates to the difference between pretax net cash flows related
to the Company’s proved oil and gas reserves and the tax basis of proved oil and gas properties and available operating
loss and excess statutory depletion carryovers reduced by investment tax credits. Discounting the annual net cash flows at 10%
illustrates the impact of timing on these future cash flows.
The
following table presents the standardized measure of discounted estimated net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves
for 2013 and 2012.
