PART I

 

Item 1. Business

 

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.

 

4
 

  

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.

 

5
 

 

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.

Item 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.

 

7
 

  

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.

 

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

 

None

 

Item 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 as follows:

  

           Natural 
   Crude   Natural   Gas 
   Oil   Gas   Liquids 
   (BBLs)   (MCF)   (BBLs) 
December 31, 2013   1,508,000    6,365,000    43,000 
                
December 31, 2012   364,000    1,499,000    - 

  

Using year-end oil, gas and natural gas liquid prices and lease operating expenses, the estimated value of future net revenues to be derived from the Company’s proved developed oil and gas reserves, discounted at 10%, were approximately $40.9 million at December 31, 2013 and $14.8 million at December 31, 2012 for the Properties in Logan County, Oklahoma.

 

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had estimated proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves of crude oil of 460,000 BBLs and 1,048,000 BBLS, respectively, estimated proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves of natural gas of 2,005,000 Mcf and 4,360,000 Mcf, respectively, and estimated proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves of natural gas liquids of 33,000 BBLs and 10,000 BBLs, respectively. All changes in estimated proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves during 2013 were as a result of extensions and discoveries. In December 2011, the Company commenced drilling its first development well in Logan County and incurred $17,891,932 during 2013 in capital expenditures for oil and gas related properties (including $3,261,096 in converting proved updeveloped reserves to proved developed reserves). We participated in the drilling and completion of 35 productive development wells during 2013 and had participated in the drilling and completion of 40 productive development wells as of December 31, 2013.

 

During 2013 we converted 127,621 BBLs of crude oil and 491,556 Mcf of natural gas from proved undeveloped reserves to proved developed reserves as a result of capital expenditures of $3,261,096 and added 1,006,621 BBLs of crude oil, 4,155,556 Mcf of natural gas and 10,000 BBLs of natural gas liquids to proved undeveloped reserves through extension and discovery.

 

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had no estimated proved undeveloped reserves that had remained undeveloped for more than five years, and we expect to develop all estimated proved undeveloped reserves within five years of the date of original booking.

 

The Company’s net oil production after other working interests and average cost per barrel for 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

  

   2013   2012   Increase/(Decrease) 
Oil Production:   Net Barrels     % of Total    Net Barrels     % of Total    Barrels    % 
United States   76,409    100.0%   22,057    100.0%   54,352    246.4%

  

The Company’s average production cost per barrel of oil equivalent is as follows:

  

   2013   2012 
         
Average production cost per barrel of oil equivalent (“BOE”)  $14.76   $7.26 

  

The following summarizes the developed leasehold acreage held by the Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. Gross acres are the total number of acres in which the Company has a working interest. Net acres are the sum of the Company’s fractional interests owned in the gross acres. Developed acreage is acreage in which we have leased the mineral rights for oil and gas and have drilled or re-worked wells. Undeveloped acres are acres on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of oil or natural gas, regardless of whether such acreage contains proved reserves.

 

   Developed Acreage 
   Gross   Net 
December 31, 2013   26,823    4,181 
           
December 31, 2012   2,821    651

The following summarizes the Company’s productive oil wells as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. Productive wells are producing wells and wells capable of production. Gross wells are the total number of wells in which the Company has an interest. Net wells are the sum of the Company’s fractional interests owned in the gross wells.

 

   Productive Wells 
   Gross   Net 
December 31, 2013   40.0    7.2 
           
December 31, 2012   5.0    1.1 

 

All of the Company’s wells are productive development wells and, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no dry development wells, nor any productive nor dry exploratory wells.

 

Drilling Activity

 

In December 2011, the Company commenced drilling its first well in Logan County and at December 31, 2013 the Company had commenced drilling 42 wells, 40 of which achieved production and revenues in 2013. During 2013, we participated in the drilling of 35 gross productive wells (6.1 net wells) and 2 gross wells (0.3 net wells) which had not yet achieved production as of December 31,2013. During 2012, we participated in the drilling of 5 gross productive wells (1.1 net wells) and 3 gross wells (0.6 net wells) which had not yet achieved production as of December 31, 2012. Also as of December 31, 2013, the Company had completed four salt water disposal wells.

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:

 

   Gross   Osage Net 
Logan (non operated)   26,823    4,181 
Logan   9,734    5,014 
Coal   9,509    4,253 
Pawnee   5,085    4,190 
    51,151    17,638 

 

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.

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 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.

 

18
 

 

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.

 

20
 

 

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.

 

Item 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.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) requires our directors and officers, and the persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Copies of all filed reports are required to be furnished to us pursuant to Rule 16a-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Audit Committee

 

We do not have an Audit Committee, as our BOD during 2013 performed the same functions of an Audit Committee, such as: recommending a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the annual financial statements; reviewing the independent auditors independence, the financial statements and their audit report; and reviewing management’s administration of the system of internal accounting controls. None of our directors are independent and no current director would qualify as an independent financial expert. We do not currently have a written audit committee charter or similar document.

 

Nominating Committee

 

We do not have a Nominating Committee or Nominating Committee Charter. Our BOD performed some of the functions associated with a Nominating Committee. We have elected not to have a Nominating Committee at this time. However, our Board of Directors intends to continually evaluate the need for a Nominating Committee.

 

Code of Conduct

 

We have a written code of conduct that governs all of our officers, directors, employees and contractors. The code of conduct relates to written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

 

  (1) Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
     
  (2)

Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that are filed with, or submitted to, the Commission and in other public communications made

Changes in Control

 

On December 28, 2006, a change of control occurred when Kim Bradford, our Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chairman, along with other investors entered into a transaction with the Company whereby for a $470,875 promissory note, the Company issued a total of 18,835,000 shares of Common stock, or approximately 64% of the total shares outstanding. The shares were valued based on the approximate asset value per share prior to the transaction. Of the $470,875 promissory notes, Mr. Bradford issued a note in the amount of $151,375 for the purchase of 6,055,000 shares. In December 2007, Mr. Bradford paid in full his note plus accrued interest. The notes matured December 31, 2011 and at December 31, 2013, there are notes receivable for $95,000, representing 3,800,000 shares. The Company is currently attempting to collect the notes receivable.

 

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

 

There have been no transactions during the last two years, or proposed transactions, to which we were or are to be a party in which any of the following persons had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest:

 

any officer or director;
   
any nominee for election as a director;
   
any beneficial owner of more than five percent of our voting securities;
   
any member of the immediate family of any of the above persons.

 

Director Independence

 

Our BOD is made up of Kim Bradford, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Greg Franklin, our Chief Geologist. Our common stock trades on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. Because we are traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, we are not currently subject to corporate governance standards of listed companies, which require, among other things, that the majority of the Board of Directors be independent.

 

27
 

 

Since we are not currently subject to corporate governance standards relating to the independence of our directors, we choose to define an “independent” director in accordance with applicable independence standards required of issuers listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15) defines an “Independent director” as a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the issuer’s BOD, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. At this time, the Board has determined that none of its directors are independent under the above definition.

 

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services

 

Selection of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm is made by the BOD. Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. (“MHM”) has been selected as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the current fiscal year. MHM leases substantially all its personnel, who work under the control of MHM shareholders, from wholly-owned subsidiaries of CBIZ, Inc., in an alternative practice structure. All audit and non-audit services provided by MHM are pre-approved by the BOD which gives due consideration to the potential impact of non-audit services on auditor independence.

 

In accordance with applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, we received a letter and verbal communication from MHM that it knows of no state of facts which would impair its status as our independent public accountants. There were no non-audit services provided by our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms in 2013 or 2012.

 

AUDIT FEES

 

For 2013, we were billed $85,000 by MHM and $32,500 by MaloneBailey, LLP and for 2012, we were billed $65,000 by MaloneBailey, LLP and $20,000 by Goldman, Kurkland and Mohidin, LLP, for audit services.

 

TAX FEES

 

Our auditors did not bill us for any tax services during 2013 and 2012.

 

ALL OTHER FEES

 

Our auditors did not bill us for any other services during 2013 and 2012.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Osage Exploration and Development, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Osage Exploration and Development, Inc. as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Osage Exploration and Development, Inc. as of December 31, 2013, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and, as of December 31, 2013, has current liabilities significantly in excess of current assets. These conditions, among others as discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Osage Exploration and Development, Inc. and Subsidiaries

San Diego, CA

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Osage Exploration and Development, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively “the Company”) as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit and an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2012 which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

OSAGE EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

1. 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.

 

F-7
 

 

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.

 

F-8
 

 

The following table presents information for those assets and liabilities requiring disclosure at fair value as of December 31, 2013:

 

       Total   Fair Value Measurements Using 
   Carrying   Fair   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
   Amount   Value   Inputs   Inputs   Inputs 
December 31, 2013 assets (liabilities):                         
Commodity derivative liability   (357,567)   (357,567)   -    (357,567)   - 

 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values in the tables above.

 

Level 2 Fair Value Measurements

 

Commodity derivatives — The fair values of commodity derivatives are estimated using internal option pricing models based upon forward curves and data obtained from independent third parties for contracts with similar terms or data obtained from counterparties to the agreements.

 

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.

 

F-10
 

 

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.

 

F-11
 

 

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 2012:

 

   Year Ended December 31, 
   2013   2012 
         
Net loss allocable to continuing operations  $(3,514,895)  $(2,380,133)
Net income and gain allocable to discontinued operations  $7,370,201   $1,863,427 
           
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share          
Continuing operations  $(0.07)  $(0.05)
Discontinued operations  $0.15   $0.04 
Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding   49,762,499    48,385,866 

 

Warrants to purchase 1,696,843 and 3,071,843 shares of common stock at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, were excluded from the computation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

 

F-12
 

 

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.

 

3. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

 

Common Stock 

 

On June 7, 2013, we issued a total of 10,000 shares which vest immediately to two consultants for services rendered with a fair value of $12,000, or $1.20 per share.

 

On January 2, 2013 we issued 400,000 shares which vested immediately to two employees with a fair value of $364,000, or $0.91 per share.

 

On January 27, 2012, the Company issued 90,000 shares of common stock at $41,400 or $0.46 per share, to a consultant as compensation for services rendered March through August 2012.

 

On April 16, 2012, the Company issued 20,000 shares of common stock at $23,000 or $1.15 per share, to a consultant as compensation for services rendered.

On August 1, 2012, in connection with a three-year employment agreement, we agreed to issue 150,000 shares of common stock at future dates as specified in the agreement. The agreement specified that we would issue 50,000 shares on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the execution of the agreement subject to other terms and conditions of the agreement. The 150,000 shares were valued at $177,000, or $1.18 per share, and will be expensed over the three years of the employment agreement. We recognized $24,582 of expenses as of December 31, 2012. Pursuant to an amendment to this agreement, the 150,000 shares were issued and immediately vested in early January 2012, and accordingly we recognized the remaining stock-based compensation expense of $152,418 in the year ended December 31, 2013.

4. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

 

At December 31, 2013, the Company’s continuing operations comprised one segment in one geographic region.

 

5. OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

 

Oil and gas properties consisted of the following as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:

 

   December 31 2013   December 31, 2012 
         
Properties subject to amortization  $25,551,336   $8,140,918 
Properties not subject to amortization   1,784,465    1,362,235 
Capitalized asset retirement costs   3,659    19 
Accumulated depreciation and depletion   (2,606,243)   (310,097)
Oil & gas properties, net  $24,733,217   $9,193,075 

 

Depreciation and depletion expense for oil and gas properties totaled $2,308,064 and $298,179 in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

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:

 

   Gross   Osage Net 
Logan (non operated)   26,823    4,181 
Logan   9,734    5,014 
Coal   9,509    4,253 
Pawnee   5,085    4,190 
    51,151    17,638

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.

 

F-15
 

 

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 Company is subject to various affirmative, negative and financial covenants under the Note Purchase Agreement as amended along with other restrictions and requirements, all as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement. Affirmative covenants include by October 31st of each year beginning in 2012, a reserve report prepared as of the immediately preceding September 30, concerning the Company’s domestic oil and gas properties prepared by approved petroleum engineers, and thereafter as of September 30th of each year. Financial covenants include the following:

 

        Minimum    
    Interest   Production   Asset Coverage 
Each Quarter Ending:   Coverage Ratio  

(MBbls)

  Ratio
March 31, 2014   2.50 to 1.00   70   1.75 to 1.00
June 30, 2014   3.00 to 1.00   80   2.00 to 1.00
September 30, 2014   3.00 to 1.00   90   2.00 to 1.00
December 31, 2014, and thereafter   3.00 to 1.00   100   2.00 to 1.00

 

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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

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.

 

9. DILUTIVE SECURITIES

 

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had outstanding dilutive securities, consisting entirely of warrants. Changes in warrants outstanding are as follows:

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:

 

   2013   2012

12. 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:

 

   Year Ended December 31, 
   2013   2012 
Beginning balance  $19   $24,231 
Incurred during the period   -    - 
Reversed during the period   -    (24,231)
Additions for new wells   3,639    19 
Accretion expense   228    - 
Ending balance  $3,886   $19 

 

13. 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.

 

F-21
 

 

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 following table sets forth the results of operations for the discontinued operations for the periods presented:

 

   Year Ended December 31,

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.

 

14. 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.

15. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ABOUT OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED)

 

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 this 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. 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.

 

Pinnacle prepared reserve estimates for the year end reports for 2013 and 2012 for our continuing operations in Logan County, Oklahoma. For wells on production with sufficient historical data, remaining reserves were determined by decline curve analysis. For wells with limited production or pressure data history and those with definable reserves using offset well and reservoir parameters, remaining reserves were estimated based on analogy well and test data and other available geological and engineering information.

 

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:

 

   2013   2012 
Proved properties  $25,551,336   $8,140,819 
Unproved properties being amortized   -    - 
Unproved properties not being amortized   1,784,465    1,362,235 
Capitalised asset retirement costs   3,659    1 9 
Accumulated depletion, depreciation          
amortization and valuation allowances   (2,606,243)   (310,097)
   $24,733,217   $9,192,976 

 

Estimated quantities of proved developed and undeveloped reserves of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, as well as changes in proved developed and undeveloped reserves for our continuing operations during the past two years are indicated below.

 

   Oil (BBLS)   Gas (MMCF)   Natural Gas Liquids (BBLs)

End of year   1,048,000    169,000    4,360    696    10,000    - 

 

All changes in estimated proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves during 2013 were as a result of extensions and discoveries. In December 2011, the Company commenced drilling its first development well in Logan County and incurred $17,891,932 during 2013 in capital expenditures for oil and gas related properties. We participated in the drilling and completion of 35 productive development wells during 2013 and had participated in the drilling and completion of 40 productive development wells as of December 31, 2013.

The foregoing estimates have been prepared by Pinnacle 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 expensed, for oil and gas property acquisition, exploration and development for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were are follows:

 

   2013   2012 
Property acquisition costs  $1,278,408   $1,821,945 
Development costs   16,613,524    5,532,019 
Exploration costs   -    - 
Asset retirement costs   -    - 

 

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.

 

   2013   2012 
Future cash inflows  $176,035,000   $41,104,970 
Future production costs   (47,088,610)   (9,538,070)
Future development costs   (35,500,100)   (4,963,580)
Future abandonment costs   (451,200)   (81,600)
Future income tax expenses   (37,198,036)   (10,608,688)
           
Future net cash flow   55,797,054    15,913,032 
10% annual discount for estimated timing of cash flows   (29,219,748)   (7,048,928)
Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flow  $26,577,306   $8,864,104 

 

The principal changes in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows during 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

 

   2013   2012 
Extensions   -    16,612,053
