Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, Osage Exploration uses EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure of operating income (loss), net income (loss) and income (loss) per share, which are adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude Depreciation and Amortization, Interest Expense/Income, Other Income/Expense and Taxes as reconciled in the financial statements below. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and as such deemed it important to provide all this information to investors.
