Osage Exploration & Development (OEDV): An updated Net Income & Cash Flow Forecast has been posted under the Watch List Tab.
3rd quarter production was disappointing to me. I have reduced my production forecast for Q4 and 2014. My Fair Value Estimate has been reduced $0.30 to $2.00 (compared to First Call's Price Target of $2.92).
If Q4 production beats my forecast (500 boepd / 84% crude oil) then I will consider raising the valuation.
Sale of their Columbian assets helps, but they really need to refinance their debt. Hopefully, a strong year-end reserve report will allow them to do that.

Osage Exploration and Development Announces Record Quarterly Revenues, Earnings, and Production
248% Revenue Growth Year-over-Year from Continuing Operations
560 BOEPD Exit Rate; 335 BOEPD Third Quarter Average Compared to Second Quarter Average of 193 BOEPD SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 19, 2013--
Osage Exploration and Development, Inc. (OEDV:$1.27,00$0.07,005.83%) , an independent exploration and production company focused on the Horizontal Mississippian and Woodford plays in Oklahoma, reported quarterly financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2013, amended to reflect the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary as "discontinued operations", and provided an update on production.
Record Quarterly Revenue
Osage reported an increase in revenues from continuing operations of 248% to $ 2.7 million during the third quarter of 2013 from $764,491 during the same period of 2012 primarily due to large quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year production increases in Osage's Nemaha Ridge project in Logan County, Oklahoma.
Large Gain in Operating Income Year-over-Year
Operating income from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 grew to $955,429 compared to a loss of $40,298 during the same period in 2012. The improvement in operating income is as a result of revenue growth vastly exceeding the increase in total operating expenses.
Highest Adjusted EBITDA in Company History
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was the highest in the Company's history adjusted for one-time items, growing approximately 878% to $1.57 million for the quarter compared to $160,436 for the same period in 2012.

Decreased Quarterly Operating Costs
Due to much higher US production as well as efficiencies gained from improved infrastructure, operating costs per barrel in the US decreased from $20.55 during the second quarter of this year to $14.94 during the third quarter.
Strong Companywide Production Growth & Exit Rate
Average daily production from ongoing operations was 335 Barrels of Oil Equivalent Per Day ("BOEPD") net of royalties during the third quarter of 2013 with a product mix composed of approximately 83% crude oil. During the same period of 2012, production from ongoing operations averaged 119 BOEPD net of royalties.
Compared to the second quarter of 2013, average daily production from continuing operations grew 73.5% in just 90 days from approximately 193 BOEPD to 335 BOEPD.
Osage exited the quarter with a monthly average daily production rate, gross of royalties, of approximately 560 BOEPD.
Discontinued Operations
On October 15, Osage announced the sale of a wholly-owned subsidiary, effective as of September 30, 2013, for $6.8 million in cash less settlement of debt of approximately $254,000. Consequently, the results, assets and liabilities of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Cimarrona, LLC, have been presented as discontinued operations. As a result of the sale of Cimarrona, LLC, the Company has satisfied the amendment to the Apollo Note Purchase Agreement dated August 12, 2013 and is not obligated to issue additional warrants to Apollo.
Management Comments
"Logan County is rapidly becoming the heart of the horizontal Mississippian play in Oklahoma. Based on the recent results of other large Oklahoma-based companies, Logan County is beginning to exhibit some of the best Woodford acreage in the area as well. While there has certainly been a learning curve on the best practices to drill, complete, and produce these wells, multiple operators in our area seem to have solved the puzzle as evidenced by the level of results that we are seeing, well by well. As we move forward toward next year, the trajectory of this play is steepening. You will see that reflected in a growing level of activity and higher production rates. We have something very special here," stated Kim Bradford, Chairman and CEO.
Note With Respect to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to using GAAP financial results, the Company's management measures and reports Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial result for this non-GAAP financial measure is Net Income (Loss). Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate the Company's performance and operations and for business planning. In addition, management believes the exclusion or inclusion of certain amounts in calculating this non-GAAP financial measure can provide a useful measure to investors for period-to-period comparisons. This non-GAAP financial measure, however, should be used in addition to, and in conjunction with, the Company's financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company strongly encourages investors to review its financial statements in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare the Company's results with other companies' non- GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. Please see Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results above for a reconciliation of our GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.

Re: OEDV
Osage is speculative, but we should have a very good idea how this is going to play out when we see their 12-31-2013 exit rate and year-end reserve report.
Big upside if Slawson drills some good Woodford Shale wells. The Woodford is under the Mississippian zone and Devon is drilling good Woodford wells near the Osage/Slawson acreage block.
