OSAGE EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2009 (unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Osage Exploration and Development, Inc. (“Osage” or the “Company”) prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“USA”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions to Form 10-Q and Item 310(b) of regulation S-K. These financial statements should be read together with the financial statements and notes in the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the USA were condensed or omitted. The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures, which, in the Company’s opinion, are necessary for fair presentation. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of the entire year.
The Company incurred significant losses and negative cash flow in the last three years as well as the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and has an accumulated deficit of $8,456,510 at September 30, 2009 and $6,155,716 (audited) at December 31, 2008. Substantial portions of the losses are attributable to asset impairment charges, stock based compensation expense, professional fees and interest expense. The Company's operating plans require additional funds that may take the form of debt or equity financings. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and obtaining additional financing.
Management of our Company has undertaken steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining our operations for the next twelve months and beyond. These steps include (a) attempting to increase our current production, (b) controlling overhead and expenses and (c) raising additional capital and/or obtaining financing.
There can be no assurance the Company can accomplish these steps and it is uncertain the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations and obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that additional financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all. In the event we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may elect or be required to seek protection from our creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. To date, management has not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely occurrence.
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.
IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recent Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (FAS 168). In addition in September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-01, “Topic 205 – Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 – The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (ASU 2009-1). Both FAS 168 and ASU 2009-1 recognize the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP to be utilized by nongovernmental entities. FAS 168 and ASU 2009-1 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements", which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 51, as codified in FASB ASC topic 810 (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. ASC 810 changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest. ASC 810 is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of ASC 810 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as codified by FASB ASC topic 815 (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities. The adoption of ASC 815 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60," as codified by FASB ASC topic 944 (“ASC 944”). The scope of ASC 944 is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of Statement 60. Accordingly, ASC 944 does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables), ASC 944 also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as codified by FASB ASC topic 815. The adoption of ASC 944 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), as codified by FASB ASC topic 855(“ASC 855”). ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for disclosing events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for selecting that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. ASC 855 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material impact on the Company.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”), as codified by FASB ASC topic 860 (“ASC 860”). ASC 860 requires additional disclosures about the transfer and derecognition of financial assets and eliminates the concept of qualifying special-purpose entities under SFAS 140. ASC 860 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 860 will not have a material impact on the Company.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”). SFAS 167 amends certain requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, as codified by FASC ASC topic 810 (“ASC 810”) to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of ASC 810 to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
All new accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective have been deemed to not be applicable, hence the adoption of these new standards is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Income Tax
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” as codified by FASB ASC topic 740 (“ASC 740”). As a result of the implementation of ASC 740, the Company made a comprehensive review of its portfolio of tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by ASC 740. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740, the Company recognized no material adjustments to liabilities or stockholders equity.
When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that 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 that 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 percent 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 statements of income.
We did not have a provision for income taxes for 2009. Due to a history of operating losses, the Company records a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets and therefore recorded no tax provision related to its US operations for the current period. We recorded tax provisions of $232,617 and $316,827 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, relating entirely to our Cimarrona operations in Colombia which we acquired on April 1, 2008. However, we eliminated these amounts when we computed our full year 2008 provision due to the history of operating losses that existed in Cimarrona prior to us acquiring it.
Oil and gas properties consisted of the following as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (audited):

The decrease in oil and gas properties in 2009, as compared to 2008, is primarily due to (i) to the assignment of 50% of Rosablanca to Lewis Energy Colombia, Inc. (“LEC”) as more fully described in footnote 10, (ii) the asset impairment charges to write down the value of all capitalized costs relating to Rosablanca and (iii) a transaction with Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp. (“Pacific”), the operator of the pipeline and 90.4% owner of the Guaduas field in Colombia, whereby Pacific reimbursed us for certain costs relating to the pipeline as well as adjusted the amount owed to them under our joint operating agreement, which were originally included as capitalized costs of the pipeline. No gain or loss was recognized from this transaction.

4. COLOMBIAN TRUST ACCOUNTS
In September 2007, we made an agreement (the “Agreement”) with Gold Oil, Plc (“Gold”) and Empesa Petrolera de Servicios y Asesorias, S.A. (“EMPESA), whereby we farmed-in to the approximately 165 square mile Rosablanca concession in Colombia awarded by the Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos (“ANH”) to Gold in September 2007. We paid $1,200,000 to Gold representing the funds Gold previously issued to a trust established by the ANH to use for drilling the first well for the Rosablanaca concession and issued a letter of credit of $144,000 for the benefit of Gold’s bank in Colombia representing the guarantee required by the ANH. We were obligated to commence drilling on the first well by December 26, 2008, which we did. As of September 30, 2009, we had no balance in this trust account.
Under the terms of the ANH concession agreement, we were required to perform six twelve-month phases. The ANH concession was to remain in effect as long as we meet our timely obligations to complete each phase that we present to the ANH. We performed the first phase which was to drill the first well. Each phase requires we fund a new trust account and issue a letter of credit as well as perform certain tasks. Phase 2 required establishment of a new trust account for $790,000, of which our share was initially $395,000, later reduced to $197,500 upon the signing of the LEC transaction as further described in Footnote 10. Phase 2 also required the issuance of a letter of credit for $110,000, of which our share was initially $55,000, later reduced to $27,500 upon signing of the LEC transaction and obligated us to perform certain seismic work. In September 2009, we entered into a termination agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Gold, Empesa and LEC, whereby we and LEC withdrew from the Rosablanca concession and transferred the remaining balance in the trust account and the letter of credit to Gold. According to the Termination Agreement, Gold and Empesa are now the only parties to the concession and are responsible for all costs related to phase 2 and beyond. The trust account had no balance at September 30, 2009.
5. DEPOSITS
In November 2007, we entered into an agreement to purchase out of bankruptcy a working interest in an oil and gas leasehold and producing wellbore in Louisiana for $1,400,000. Upon signing the agreement, we deposited 10% of the total purchase price, or $140,000. The bankruptcy court did not pursue the sale and we received our deposit of $140,000 back on March 1, 2008. We have no further obligations for this property.
6. BANK CD PLEDGED FOR LETTER OF CREDIT
In August 2007, we placed $144,000 in a certificate of deposit (“CD”) with a bank as collateral for the $144,000 letter of credit required by the ANH as more fully described in footnote 4 above. In September 2008, we received an extension from ANH until December 26, 2008 to drill our first well and the CD was extended until March 25, 2009. The letter of credit expired on March 25, 2009 and we redeemed the CD at that time. Accordingly, the balance of this CD at September 30, 2009 was zero.
In March 2009, we placed the equivalent of $55,000 in a CD with a bank in Colombia as collateral for the $110,000 letter of credit required by the ANH for Phase 2. LEC reimbursed us $27,500 for this CD as more fully described in footnote 4 above. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement described in footnote 4 above, we transferred the balance in this CD to Gold in the quarter ended September 30, 2009. In the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we therefore recorded an asset impairment charge of $31,419 for the value of the CD and thus the value of this CD was zero at September 30, 2009.
7. UNSECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
In July 2007, we issued a $1,100,000 unsecured convertible promissory note (“Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note”) to one institutional investor for gross proceeds of $1,100,000. The Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note matured September 30, 2008, had an 8% interest rate, payable in cash quarterly, and was convertible, in whole or in part, into units, with each unit (“Unit”) priced at $1.00 and consisting of one share of Common Stock and one warrant, exercisable at $1.25 per share maturing three years from issuance. We had the option to prepay the Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note at any time prior to maturity with no penalty. We had the option, but only at maturity, to repay the Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note in Units. At September 30, 2008, we repaid in full the Unsecured Convertible Promissory note by issuing 1,100,000 Units. As such, the balance of the Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (audited) was zero. Pursuant to EITF 98-5, "Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios" and EITF 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 in Certain Convertible Instruments,” we recorded $1,067,274 upon the issuance of the Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note attributable to the beneficial conversion feature as additional paid in capital. The discount was amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the indebtedness.
8. PROMISSORY NOTE
On April 27, 2007, we purchased a truck by issuing a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to a bank secured by the truck. The Promissory Note matures October 27, 2010, has a variable interest rate of Prime plus 1.0%, and has monthly principal and interest payments of $366. As of September 30, 2009, the interest rate on the Promissory Note was 4.25%.
The following table summarizes the balance of the Promissory Note at September 30, 2009:
Promissory Note Outstanding at September 30, 2009 | | $ | 4,507 | |

LAND RENTALS AND OPERATING LEASES
In February 2008, the Company entered into a 36 month lease for its corporate offices in San Diego. The lease was initially for $3,682 per month for the first year, increasing to $3,800 and $3,923 in the second and third year, respectively. The lease is guaranteed by Mr. Kim Bradford, our President and Chief Executive Officer. No compensation was given to Mr. Bradford for his guarantee. In addition, the Company is responsible for all operating expenses and utilities.

10. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
Cimarrona Acquisition
In February 2008, we entered into an letter of intent and issued a $100,000 deposit to acquire a minority position in certain producing oil and gas assets in Colombia. On April 8, 2008, we entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Sunstone Corporation (“Sunstone”) pursuant to which the Company acquired from Sunstone 100% of the membership interests in Cimarrona Limited Liability company, an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Cimarrona LLC”). Cimarrona LLC is the owner of a 9.4% interest in certain oil and gas assets in the Guaduas field, located in the Dindal and Rio Seco Blocks that cover 30,665 acres in the Middle Magdalena Valley in Colombia. The Purchase Agreement was effective as of April 1, 2008. The purchase price consisted of 2,750,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and a warrant to purchase 1,125,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock exercisable at $1.25 per share and expiring April 8, 2013. The $100,000 deposit was returned to the Company in conjunction with closing of the transaction. In addition, the Company issued 50,000 shares of Common Stock to Energy Capital Solutions, LP for their role as financial advisor in the transaction and $22,500 to an unaffiliated individual as a finder’s fee.
Lewis Energy Colombia, Inc.
In March 2009, we entered into an agreement (the “LEC Agreement”) with LEC, whereby LEC agreed to provide $3,500,000, to drill the first well and become operator of Rosablanca in return for a 50% assignment of our 50% operating interest in Rosablanca. In addition, LEC was entitled to recoup two times its investment in the first well before Osage receives any cash flow from the first well. The transaction was recorded in accordance with paragraph 47(c) SFAS 19, “Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies,” as codified in FASB ASC section 932-360-55. Furthermore, as part of the LEC Agreement, we issued 5,250,000 shares of our Common Stock to an affiliate of LEC. As a result of the LEC transaction, revenues and investments on all future wells in Rosablanca were to be allocated 40% to Gold, 25% to LEC, 25% to us and 10% to Empesa. We recognized no gain or loss on the assignment of our interest. In March 2009, we announced we completed testing on the first well without finding producible hydrocarbons in any of the zones evaluated. In September 2009, we entered into the Termination Agreement with Gold, EMPESA and Lewis, whereby we and Lewis agreed to withdraw from the Rosablanca concession

12. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
The Company recognizes a liability at discounted fair value for the future retirement of tangible long-lived assets and associated assets retirement cost associated with the petroleum and natural gas properties. The fair value of the liability is capitalized as part of the cost of the related asset and amortized to expense over its useful life. The liability accretes until the date of expected settlement of the retirement obligations. The related accretion expense is recognized in the statement of operations. The provision will be revised for the effect of any changes to timing related to cash flow or undiscounted abandonment costs. Actual expenditures incurred for the purpose of site reclamation are charged to the asset retirement obligations 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. A reconciliation of the Company's asset retirement obligations for the nine months periods presented is as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that include, among others, statements of: expectations, anticipations, beliefs, estimations, projections, and other similar matters that are not historical facts, including such matters as: future capital requirements, development and exploration expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), drilling of wells, reserve estimates (including estimates of future net revenues associated with such reserves and the present value of such future net revenues), future production of oil and gas, repayment of debt, business strategies, and expansion and growth of business operations. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by our management in light of past experience and perception of: historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors that our management believes are appropriate under the circumstances. We caution the reader that these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those associated with the financial environment, the regulatory environment, and trend projections, that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those risks and uncertainties identified below.
Significant factors that could prevent us from achieving our stated goals include: declines in the market prices for oil and gas, adverse changes in the regulatory environment affecting us, international and political uncertainty, fluctuations in exchange rates, 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.
In September 2007, we entered into the Agreement with Gold and Empesa, whereby we farmed-in to the approximately 165 square mile Rosablanca concession in Colombia awarded by the ANH to Gold in September, 2007. Our decision to pursue the Rosablanca project was based on the seismic data generated by the ANH that revealed multiple target opportunities. Under the Agreement, we were considered the operators of the concession and were obligated to pay all costs associated with drilling and testing of the first well on the Rosablanca project. Revenues generated from the first well were to be allocated 50% to us, 40% to Gold and 10% to Empesa. In March 2009, we entered into the LEC Agreement, whereby LEC agreed to provide $3,500,000 to drill the first well and become operator of Rosablanca in return for a 50% assignment of our 50% operating interest in the Rosablanca. This Agreement also provided that LEC was entitled to receive an amount equal to two times its investment in the first well before Osage receives any cash flow from the first well. The transaction was recorded in accordance with paragraph 47(c) SFAS 19, “Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies,” as codified in FASB ASC section 932-360-55. Furthermore, as part of the LEC Agreement, we issued 5,250,000 shares of our Common Stock to an affiliate of LEC. As a result of the LEC transaction, revenues and investments on all future wells in Rosablanca were to be allocated 40% to Gold, 25% to LEC, 25% to us and 10% to Empesa. We recognized no gain or loss on the assignment of our interest. On March 23, 2009, we announced we completed testing on the first well without finding producible hydrocarbons in any of the zones evaluated. In September 2009, we entered into the Termination Agreement with Gold, EMPESA and Lewis, whereby we and Lewis withdrew from the Rosablanca concession.
In August 2007, we (i) paid $1,200,000 to Gold representing the funds Gold previously issued to a trust account established by the ANH to use for drilling the first well for the Rosablanaca concession and (ii) issued a letter of credit in the amount of $144,000 for the benefit of Gold’s bank in Colombia representing the guarantee required by the ANH. We were obligated to commence drilling on the first well by December 26, 2008, which we did. Under the terms of the concession agreement with the ANH, we had the right to explore for up to six twelve-months phases. Under the agreement, the exploitation phase of the concession with the ANH remained in effect for up to 24 years as long as we able to meet our timely obligations to drill each well that we presented to the ANH. We already performed the first phase which was to drill the first well. Each phase required us to fund a new trust account, and issue a letter of credit as well as perform certain tasks. Phase 2 required an establishment of a trust account for $790,000, of which our share was $197,500, and an issuance of a letter of credit in the amount of $110,000, of which our share was $27,500 and obligated us to perform certain seismic work. In the first quarter of 2009, we funded both the trust account and the letter of credit. On March 23, 2009, we announced that we have completed testing on the first well without finding producible hydrocarbons in any of the zones evaluated. In September 2009, we entered into the Termination Agreement with Gold, EMPESA and LEC, whereby we and LEC withdrew from the Rosablanca concession.
On April 8, 2008, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with Sunstone pursuant to which we acquired from Sunstone 100% of the membership interests in Cimarrona LLC, the owner of 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 in excess of 30,000 barrels of oil per day. The Purchase Agreement was effective as of April 1, 2008.
The Cimarrona property, but not the pipeline, 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 royalty amount is paid in oil. 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 a received a 200% reimbursement of all historical costs to develop and operate the Guaduas field. We believe that Ecopetrol could become a 50% partner in 2009 which would effectively reduce the cash flows generated by the property by 50%. In addition, in 2022, the Association Contract with Ecopetrol terminates, at which time we will have no economic interest remaining in this property. The property and the pipeline are both operated by Pacific, which owns 90.6% of the Guaduas field. Pipeline revenues generated from Cimarrona primarily relate to transportation costs charged to third party oil producers, including Pacific.
In April 2009, Pacific reimbursed us $797,483 as well as reduced the amount owed to them under our joint operating agreement by $799,007 relating to certain disputes we had with Pacific regarding a blending facility that they built in conjunction with the pipeline. These amounts were originally included as capitalized costs of the pipeline. No gain or loss was recognized from this transaction.
We anticipate we will need to raise at least $1,000,000 over the next twelve months. At present, the revenues generated from the Cimarrona and Oklahoma properties are only sufficient to cover field operating expenses and a portion of our overhead.
We have undertaken steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining our operations for the next twelve months and beyond. These steps include (a) raising additional capital and/or obtaining financing; (b) increasing our current revenues from the Oklahoma and Cimarrona properties and (c) controlling overhead and expenses.
There can be no assurance we will successfully accomplish these steps and it is uncertain we will achieve a profitable level of operations and/or obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that any additional financings will be available to us on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all. In the event we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may elect or be required to seek protection from our creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. To date, management has not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely occurrence.

Oil Revenues
Oil Revenues were $397,819, a decrease of $238,380, or 37.5%, in 2009 compared to $636,199 in 2008. The decrease is due primarily to a decrease in oil prices as well as a decrease in barrels sold in United States. In Colombia, we sold 6,000 barrels (“BBLs”) at an average gross price of $64.30 in 2009 compared to 6,000 BBLs at $104.43 in 2008. In the United States, we sold 652 BBLs at an average gross price of $63.71 in 2009 compared to 940 BBLs at an average price of $118.61 in 2008.
Pipeline Revenues
Pipeline revenues were $350,066, an increase of $51,242, or 17.1%, in 2009 compared to $298,824 in 2008 due primarily to an increase in the number of barrels transported to approximately 2.23 million BBLs (our share was approximately 210,000 BBLs) in 2009 from approximately 1.97 million BBLs (our share was approximately 185,000) BBLs in 2008.
Total Revenues
Total revenues were $747,885, a decrease of $187,138, or 20.0%, in 2009 compared to $935,023 in 2008. Pipeline revenues accounted for 46.8% and 32.0% of total revenues in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses were $265,133 and $157,716 in 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in operating expenses of $107,417 relate primarily to increased operating expenses in the Cimarrona property, which is operated by Pacific. Operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased to 35.5% in 2009 from 16.9% in 2008 due to the combination of increased operating expenses and the decline in revenues.
Asset Impairment
We recorded an asset impairment charge of $183,205 in 2009 relating to our Rosablanca concession as we exited the concession in the quarter ended September 30, 2009. No comparable impairment charge was recorded in 2008.
Stock Based Compensation Expense
Stock based compensation expense was $0 and $689,424 in 2009 and 2008. 2008 stock based compensation consisted primarily of the amortization of the value of shares issued to two employees in November 2007. All shares issued were valued based on the stock price at the date of issuance.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $449,520 in 2009, a $73,089 decrease, or 14.0%, compared to $522,618 in 2008. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower general and administrative costs incurred in Colombia and lower travel expenses. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased to 60.1% in 2009 from 55.9% in 2008, as the decrease in revenues exceeded the decrease in general and administrative expenses.
Depreciation, depletion and accretion
Depreciation, depletion and accretion were $93,308 in 2009 compared to $66,252 in 2008. Most of the depreciation and depletion expenses in 2009 and 2008 relate to capitalized costs in our Cimarrona property.
Total Operating Costs and Expenses
Total operating costs and expenses were $991,166 in 2009, a $444,844 decrease, or 31.0%, compared to $1,436,010 in 2008 due primarily to a decrease in stock based compensation and general and administrative expenses, offset by in increases in asset impairment and operating expenses. As a percentage of total revenues, total operating costs and expenses were 132.5% and 153.6% in 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Operating Loss
Operating loss was $243,281 in 2009, an improvement of $257,706 compared to an operating loss of $500,987 in 2008. As a percentage of total revenues, operating loss was 32.5% and 53.6% in 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Other Income/(Expenses)
Total other income/(expenses) consist primarily of interest expense and interest income. Interest income was $4,014 and $30,829 in 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in interest income is due primarily to lower cash and trust balances as well as a decrease in interest rates in 2009 compared to 2008. Interest expense was $1,333 and $253,312 in 2009 and 2008, respectively. Interest expense in 2008 consisted primarily of the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature of the $1,100,000 Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note, which converted into shares of Common Stock in September 2008.
Net Loss
Net loss was $240,600 and $955,221 in 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in net loss of $714,621 consists primarily of a $257,706 decrease in operating loss and a decrease in interest expense of $251,979 in 2009 compared to 2008.
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment
Foreign currency translation gain was $29,840 in 2009 compared to a foreign currently translation loss of $426,488 in 2008.

Net loss decreased by $785,539 due primarily to a decrease of $2,165,791 in stock based compensation expense and a $750,437 decrease in interest expense, offset by $1,903,686 of asset impairment charges recorded in 2009 relating to Rosablanca compared to none in 2008.
Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign currency translation gain was $230,328 in 2009 compared to a foreign currently translation loss of $435,079 in 2008. The Colombian Peso to Dollar Exchange Rate averaged 2,060 and 1,860 in 2009 and 2008.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss was $2,070,466 in 2009 compared to a comprehensive loss of $3,521,412 in 2008. The decrease in comprehensive loss of $1,450,946 consists of the $785,539 decrease in net loss and an improvement in foreign currency translation adjustment of $665,407.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had working capital of $1,202,968 at September 30, 2009, compared to a working capital deficit of $307,599 at December 31, 2008. Working capital at September 30, 2009 consisted primarily of $1,210,959 of cash and cash equivalents, offset by $114,190 of accounts payable.
At both September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had no debt on our balance sheet. Since January 1, 2007, we have raised in excess of $6,000,000 in gross proceeds through various debt and equity financings, as well as partnership agreements. We used the majority of the proceeds for costs related to our Rosablanca project in Colombia, as well as for working capital purposes.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $521,807 in 2009 compared to net cash used by operating activities of $90,511 in 2008. The major components of the net cash provided by operating activities in 2009 were the $1,903,686 asset impairment charges relating to our Rosablanca concession and $272,178 of depreciation and depletion, offset by the net loss of $2,300,794. The major components of the net cash used in operating activities in 2008 were the net loss of $3,086,333, offset by the amortization of deferred compensation of $2,053,284 and $652,753 amortization of beneficial conversion feature of the Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note.
Net cash used by investing activities totaled $342,537 in 2009 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $643,501. Net cash used in investing activities in 2009 consisted primarily of $1,711,966 investments in oil and gas properties and the $400,408 investment in Colombian trust accounts, offset by $912,164 received from LEC for the assignment of 50% of our Rosablanca concession and $797,483 received from Pacific as reimbursement for previously capitalized pipeline expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities in 2008, consisted primarily of the $480,793 of cash acquired with the Cimarrona acquisition and the return of $140,000 of a deposit made on an oil property, offset by $256,089 investment in oil and gas properties.
Net cash used by financing activities totaled $2,348 in 2009 while net cash provided by financing activities totaled $164,781 in 2008 and consisted primarily of the $167,375 proceeds from payment on the stock purchase notes receivable.
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 operate our Oklahoma property through independent contractors that operate producing wells for several small oil companies. Pacific Rubiales owns 90.6% of the Guaduas field and is its operator.
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.
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. The price that we receive for our oil and gas is set by market forces beyond our control as well as governmental intervention. In the third quarter of 2009, we sold oil in Colombia at prices ranging from $57.33 to $68.39 per barrel compared to $94.01 to $114.46 in 2008. In the United States, we sold oil at prices ranging from $59.41 to $65.84 in the third quarter of 2009, compared to $101.60 to $142.75 in 2008. The volatility and uncertainty in oil and gas prices have made it more difficult for a company like us to increase our oil and gas asset base and become a significant participant in the oil and gas industry. We currently sell all of our oil and gas production to HOCOL in Colombia and Sunoco in the United States. However, in the event these customers discontinued oil and gas purchases, we believe we can replace these customers with other customers who would purchase the oil at terms standard in the industry.
We have no material exposure to interest rate changes. We are subject to changes in the price of oil and exchange rates of the Colombian Peso, which are out of our control. The Colombian Peso to Dollar Exchange Rate averaged 2,016 and 2,195 in the third quarters of 2009 and 2008, respectively and was 1,937 and 1,904 at September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively.
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 SFAS No. 19, as codified in FASB ASC 932 (“ASC 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. In 2009, we recorded an impairment charge of $1,903,686 relating to our Rosablanca concession as we found no producible hydrocarbons after drilling our first well and entered into the Termination Agreement with Gold, EMPESA and Lewis, whereby we withdrew from the Rosablanca concession.
Our 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 country-by-country basis. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, all of our oil operations were in Colombia and in the United States of America. 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 in FASB ASC 410, we report a liability for any legal retirement obligations on our oil and gas properties. The asset retirement obligations represent the estimated present value of the amounts expected to be incurred to plug, abandon, and remediate the producing properties at the end of their productive lives, in accordance with state laws, as well as the estimated costs associated with the reclamation of the property surrounding. The Company determines the asset retirement obligations by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to the liability. The asset retirement obligations are recorded as a liability at the estimated present value as of the asset's inception, with an offsetting increase to producing properties. Periodic accretion of the discount related to the estimated liability is recorded as an expense in the statement of operations.
The estimated liability is determined using significant assumptions, including current estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, annual inflation of these costs, the productive lives of wells, and a risk-adjusted interest rate. Changes in any of these assumptions can result in significant revisions to the estimated asset retirement obligations. Revisions to the asset retirement obligations are recorded with an offsetting change to producing properties, resulting in prospective changes to depletion and depreciation expense and accretion of the discount. Because of the subjectivity of assumptions and the relatively long lives of most of the wells, the costs to ultimately retire the Company's wells may vary significantly from prior estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue upon transfer of ownership of the product to the customer which occurs when (i) the product is physically received by the customer, (ii) an invoice is generated which evidences an arrangement between the customer and us, (iii) a fixed sales price has been included in such invoice and (iv) collection from such customer is probable.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our Company has not entered into any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement with an entity unconsolidated with us 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 4. 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial offer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (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 officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009, 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 September 30, 2009 is not effective. Based on this assessment, management has determined that, as of September 30, 2009, 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 affect on the Company’s financial statements are prevented or timely detected.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparations and presentations. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report.
Except as indicated herein, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
