WORTHINGTON ENERGY, INC.

 (An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization – Paxton Energy, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 30, 2004.  During August 2004, shareholder control of the Company was transferred, a new board of directors was elected and new officers were appointed.  These officers and directors managed the Company until March 17, 2010, at which time, the existing members of the Company’s board of directors resigned, new members were appointed to the board of directors, and managerial control of the Company was transferred to new management.  The new board of directors immediately commenced, among other things, the placement of unsecured convertible promissory notes to raise funds for working capital and held a meeting of stockholders on June 29, 2010, at which the stockholders approved 1) a 1-for-3 reverse common stock split, 2) a second reverse stock split of approximately 1 share for 2.4 shares of common stock, 3) the amendment of the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the Company’s authorized capital from 100 million to 500 million shares of common stock and from 5 million to 10 million shares of preferred stock, and 4) the adoption of the 2010 Stock Option Plan.  On January 27, 2012, Paxton Energy, Inc. changed its name to Worthington Energy, Inc. (the “Company”).  The Company held its annual meeting of stockholders on October 12, 2012, at which the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal a 1-for-10 reverse common stock split.  All references in these condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes to numbers of shares of common stock, prices per share of common stock, and weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding prior to the reverse stock splits have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock splits on a retroactive basis for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.  As more fully disclosed in Note 15 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, on April 17, 2013, the Company designated one million shares of preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock; sold one million shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Charles Volk, the Company’s chief executive officer; and pursuant to an Action by Written Consent of the Stockholders of the Company, the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended to increase the Company’s authorized common stock from 500 million to 1.49 billion shares of common stock.  On May 8, 2013, pursuant to an Action by Written Consent of the Stockholders of the Company, the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended again to increase the Company’s authorized common stock from 1.49 billion to 2.49 billion shares of common stock.

Nature of Operations – As further described in Note 2 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company commenced acquiring working interests in oil and gas properties in June 2005.  The Company owns oil and gas properties in the Cooke Ranch prospect in LaSalle County, Texas, where the Company has been engaged primarily as a joint interest owner with Bayshore Exploration L.L.C. in the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas properties and the production and sale of oil and gas.  And in March 2012, the Company acquired certain assets from Black Cat Exploration & Production LLC consisting of a 2% override interest in the Mustang Island 818-L lease, covering 1,400 acres in the Gulf of Mexico, with a 10.35% carried interest in the recently drilled I-1 well, located on the lease.  However, as further described in Note 2 to these consolidated financial statements, the Company sold the 2% override interest in these properties in November 2012 and entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release of claims in January 2013, which resulted in, among other things, the transfer of the Company’s remaining interest in the Mustang Island 818-L lease and I-1 well back to Black Cat Exploration & Production LLC.

The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage due to the lack of significant revenues.  

Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements– The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012, and for the period from June 30, 2004 (date of inception) through December 31, 2012, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2013, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and for the period from June 30, 2004 (date of inception), through March 31, 2013.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

6

Business Condition – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has not had significant revenue and is still considered to be in the exploration stage.  The Company incurred losses of $1,132,113 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and $13,255,095 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The Company also used cash of $296,960 and $1,348,778 in its operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, respectively.  Through March 31, 2013, the Company has accumulated a deficit during the exploration stage of $33,522,484.  At March 31, 2013, the Company has a working capital deficit of $5,954,084 including current liabilities of $5,964,032.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company is currently seeking debt and equity financing to fund potential acquisitions and other expenditures, although it does not have any contracts or commitments for either at this time. The Company will have to raise additional funds to continue operations and, while it has been successful in doing so in the past, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary additional funds to continue operations and the attainment of profitable operations.  The Company hopes that working capital will become available via financing activities currently contemplated with regards to VM 179.  In January 2013, the Company received a preliminary commitment letter from an interested funding group for an $8,500,000 secured loan.  The proposed term of the loan is $3,500,000 initially and the balance to be drawn down within 90 days thereafter.  The loan would have a three year repayment schedule based on a 48 month amortization, with an annual interest rate of 14.95%.  The lender would be entitled to overriding interests in all oil and gas production and certain other customary fees and expenses.  The loan is subject to final approval of the lender’s credit committee and numerous conditions to closing, including, among others, additional equity from farm-in partners or other shareholders and a third-party review and verification of the reserves.  The Company can provide no assurances that this loan will be completed or that it can obtain other working capital on terms acceptable to it, if at all.

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary additional funds to continue operations and to attain profitable operations.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share – Basic loss per common share amounts are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.  Diluted loss per share amounts are computed assuming the issuance of common stock for potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. All outstanding stock options, warrants, stock awards, convertible promissory notes, and other obligations to be satisfied with the issuance of common stock are currently antidilutive and have been excluded from the diluted loss per share calculations.  None of the options, warrants, and stock awards to acquire 13,989,695 shares of common stock; the promissory notes and debentures convertible into 1,394,970,625 shares of common stock; shares of common stock issuable under the Equity Investment Agreement with La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. of 3,152,727 shares; or the 6,689,554 shares issuable to Ironridge under the arrangement to settle liabilities were included in the computation of diluted loss per share at March 31, 2013.  None of the options, warrants, and stock awards to acquire 4,834,695 shares of common stock; the promissory notes and debentures convertible into 17,750,874 shares of common stock; or the 4,310,815 estimated shares issuable to Ironridge under the arrangement to settle liabilities were included in the computation of diluted loss per share at March 31, 2012.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments – The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for accounts payable, payable to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd., and payable to former officer approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.  The carrying amounts reported for unsecured convertible promissory notes payable, secured notes payable, and convertible debentures approximate fair value because the underlying instruments are at interest rates which approximate current market rates.  The fair value of derivative liabilities are estimated based on the method disclosed in Note 8 to these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Statements – In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance on the periodic testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. This updated guidance will allow companies the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test required under current accounting standards. This guidance is applicable for reporting periods beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted, and was applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013. The Company currently does not have any indefinite-life intangible assets other than goodwill and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

7

In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Under the amendments in this update, an entity is required to report, in one place, information about reclassifications out of accumulated OCI and to report changes in its accumulated OCI balances. For significant items reclassified out of accumulated OCI to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period, reporting is required about the effect of the reclassifications on the respective line items in the statement where net income or loss is presented. For items that are not reclassified to net income or loss in their entirety in the same reporting period, a cross reference to other disclosures currently required under GAAP is required in the notes to the entity’s consolidated financial statements. This guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, and is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013. The Company does not have accumulated OCI and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - Oil and Gas Properties

Black Cat Purchase and Sale Agreement

On March 9, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets from Black Cat Exploration & Production LLC (“Black Cat”) pursuant to an amended Purchase and Sale Agreement for Oil & Gas Properties and Related Assets (the “Black Cat Agreement”).  The Company acquired a 2% override interest in the Mustang Island 818-L lease, covering 1,400 acres in the Gulf of Mexico, with a 10.35% carried interest in the recently drilled I-1 well, located on the lease. The Company paid $175,000 in cash, issued a note for $1,075,000 and agreed to issue 4,500,000 shares of common stock, of which 2,250,000 shares were issued to Black Cat at the time of closing and the remaining 2,250,000 shares were issued on August 30, 2012 pursuant to when the well was connected to the main offshore pipeline of the Six Pigs Processing facility.  The leasehold interest was capitalized in the amount of $2,305,987, representing $1,250,000 in cash and promissory note, $855,000 for the initial common stock issued in March 2012 (based on a closing price of $0.38 per share on the closing date), $157,500 for the second issuance of common stock in August 2012 (based on the most recent closing price of $0.07 per share at the time of connecting the well), and $43,487 in acquisition and well costs.  

On November 1, 2012, the Company sold its 2% overriding royalty interest in the Mustang Island 818-L lease for $500,000.  The sale reduced the carrying cost of the lease and well to $1,805,987.  Proceeds from the sale were used to reduce the principal balance of the junior secured promissory note with Black Cat by $200,000 and the remaining $300,000 was used by the Company for working capital purposes.

On January 25, 2013, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release of Claims (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Mr. Anthony Mason and Black Cat. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Black Cat and/or Mr. Mason $125,000 in 10 equal payments, with the first payment due March 11, 2013 and the remaining payments every 30 days thereafter until paid in full. The Company has paid $10,000 to Mr. Mason resulting in a remaining liability of $115,000 at March 31, 2013.  In the event that the Company obtains a credit facility in an amount equal to or greater than $3,500,000, the full amount of the settlement payment then outstanding will become immediately due and payable. In addition, the Company agreed to transfer to Black Cat all title and interest the Company owned in the I-1 well, Mustang Island 818-L lease and other assets acquired from Black Cat pursuant to the Black Cat Agreement. Furthermore, all production from the I-1 well, from the date the well went online was transferred to Black Cat in connection with the Settlement Agreement.  In return, Black Cat agreed to return to the Company for cancellation the 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock it received in connection with the Black Cat Agreement and to release the Company from all of its claims, which included the balance of the promissory note and accrued interest, unpaid compensation and other miscellaneous amounts . Further, in connection with the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Mason agreed to resign as President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company.

In connection with its accounting for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company evaluated the accounting effects of the Settlement Agreement and concluded that estimated impairment in the approximate amount of $750,000 should be recorded as of December 31, 2012 by further reducing the carrying cost of the properties to $1,055,987.  In January 2013, the Company accounted for the Settlement Agreement by removing the carrying value of the property; removed the released liabilities for the promissory note in the amount of $850,000; removed current liabilities for amounts owed to Mr. Mason, Black Cat, and others for accrued interest, accrued compensation, lease operating expenses, and other expenses in the aggregate amount of $265,364; recorded the fair value of the common stock returned to the Company for cancelation in the amount of $54,000; recorded a liability to Mr. Mason of $125,000; and recognized additional impairment expense of $11,623.

Montecito Asset Sale Agreement

On May 6, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of certain assets pursuant to an Asset Sale Agreement (the Montecito Agreement) with Montecito Offshore, L.L.C. (Montecito).   The assets consist of certain oil and gas leases located in the Vermillion 179 tract, which is in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico offshore from Louisiana.  Pursuant to the terms of the Montecito Agreement, as amended, Montecito agreed to sell the Company a 70% leasehold working interest, with a net revenue interest of 51.975%, of certain oil and gas leases owned by Montecito, for $1,500,000 in cash, a subordinated promissory note in the amount of $500,000, and 1,500,000 shares of common stock.  The leasehold interest has been capitalized in the amount of $5,698,563, representing $2,000,000 in cash and promissory note, $3,675,000 for the common stock based on a closing price of $2.45 per share on the closing date, and $23,563 in acquisition costs.  No drilling or production has commenced as of March 31, 2013. Consequently, the oil and gas properties have not been subjected to amortization of the full cost pool.

In December 2011, Montecito filed a lawsuit in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans of the State of Louisiana against the Company by filing a Petition to Rescind Sale.  In this action, Montecito is seeking to rescind the asset sale transaction, as described in the previous paragraph.  Currently, depositions are scheduled to begin in May 2013 and there has been no trial date set as of yet.  The Company has entered into settlement discussions, but if no acceptable resolution can be reached, it intends to vigorously defend itself against the lawsuit.

Texas Oil and Gas Operations

Commencing in the year ended December 31, 2005 and continuing into the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company participated in oil and gas exploration and development activities in Texas, principally with Bayshore Exploration L.L.C. (Bayshore) in La Salle County, Texas.  During 2005, the Company acquired from Bayshore a 31.75% working interest (23.8125% net revenue interest) in the Cooke Ranch prospect, consisting of approximately 8,883 acres.  During 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Bayshore to acquire a 50% working interest in approximately 3,200 acres of oil and gas leases and oil and gas lease options located in La Salle County, Texas, for the purpose of oil and gas exploration and production.  The Company was also granted an option to increase its working interest in the leases to 75% within 90 days of the date of the agreement, on the same terms and conditions.  On June 13, 2006, the Company exercised its option to increase its working interest to 75% (56.25% net revenue interest). To date, the Company has acquired a 75% working interest in approximately 2,268 acres.  Additionally during 2006, the Company entered into a Joint Exploration Agreement with Bayshore covering the 8,883 acres of the Cooke Ranch prospect. The Exploration Agreement provides for the Company and Bayshore to join together for the purpose of drilling exploratory wells and performing studies of the Cooke Ranch prospect acreage and acquiring additional prospective oil and gas properties on which to explore for, develop, and produce oil and gas.  During 2008, Bayshore entered into a lease of 220 acres in LaSalle County, Texas within the area of mutual interest covered by the exploration agreement.  The Company exercised its right to purchase its proportionate share (31.75%) of that lease and paid Bayshore for the Company’s share of the lease bonus and related expenses.  In connection with that new lease, the Company entered into a participation in a farm out whereby the Company retained approximately a 4% fully carried working interest in the Cartwright No. 3 well drilled on the new lease by third parties.

During the period of time commencing with the year ended December 31, 2005 and continuing into the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company participated with Bayshore in the drilling of ten wells and participated with another entity in the drilling of a well in another county in Texas.  Three of these wells were determined to be dry and were plugged and abandoned.  The Company has sold all or part of its interests in two wells to Bayshore in order to reduce its indebtedness to Bayshore.  At March 31, 2013, the Company has remaining interests in six wells in Texas with working interests ranging from 4.0% to 31.75%.  Management of the Company has the understanding that the six wells are currently shut in and not producing.  At March 31, 2013, given that the Company is still considered to be in the exploration stage, a determination has not been made about the extent of oil reserves that should be classified as proved reserves.  Consequently, the oil and gas properties have not been subjected to amortization of the full cost pool.

9

Each year, the management of the Company has performed evaluations of its producing oil and gas properties to determine whether oil and gas properties are impaired.  Management has also considered the market value of its nonproducing properties.  During 2006, 2008, 2009, and 2012, the Company determined that capitalized costs for wells drilled, for leasehold interests, and other related costs were in excess of the present value of estimated future cash flows from those properties.  As a result, the Company recognized impairment losses in the total amount of $4,335,078 during those years, including reducing the carrying value of wells drilled to zero and the carrying value of leasehold interests to $100,000.  

Summary of Oil and Gas Properties

Note 4 – Payable to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd.

In March 2012, Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. (“Ironridge”) filed a complaint against the Company for the payment of $1,388,407 in outstanding accounts payable, accrued compensation, accrued interest, and notes payable of the Company (the “Claim Amount”) that Ironridge had purchased from various creditors of the Company.  The lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles Central District, and the case was Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. v. Worthington Energy, Inc., Case No. BC 480184.  On March 22, 2012, the court approved an Order for Approval of Stipulation for Settlement of Claims (the "Order").

The Order provided for the immediate issuance by the Company of 1,015,000 shares of common stock (the “Initial Shares”) to Ironridge towards settlement of the Claim Amount.  The Order also provided for an adjustment in the total number of shares which may be issuable to Ironridge based on a calculation period for the transaction, defined as that number of consecutive trading days following the date on which the Initial Shares were issued (the "Issuance Date") required for the aggregate trading volume of the common stock, as reported by Bloomberg LP, to exceed $4.2 million (the "Calculation Period"). Pursuant to the Order, Ironridge would retain 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock as a fee, plus that number of shares (the "Final Amount") with an aggregate value equal to (a) the $1,358,135 plus reasonable attorney fees through the end of the Calculation Period, (b) divided by 70% of the following: the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Common Stock over the length of the Calculation Period, as reported by Bloomberg, not to exceed the arithmetic average of the individual daily VWAPs of any five trading days during the Calculation Period.  The Company has calculated that the Calculation Period ended during the three months ended December 31, 2012 and calculated that the Final Amount to be issued under the Order is 42,814,554 shares of common stock.  Additionally, during the three months ended December 31, 2012 when the Final Amount was determined, the Company calculated the fair value of the original liability to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd to be $1,981,312, that amount which when discounted to 70% of the VWAP and multiplied by the Final Amount, would equal $1,358,135 plus reasonable attorney fees.  In so doing, the Company recognized an expense for the excess of the fair value of the resultant liability to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. in excess of the original carrying amount of the liabilities acquired by Ironridge and adjusted the liability to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. for the fair value adjustment.

10

Pursuant to the Order, for every 420,000 shares of the Company's common stock that traded during the Calculation Period, or if at any time during the Calculation Period a daily VWAP is below 90% of the closing price on the day before the Issuance Date, the Company was to immediately issue additional shares (each, an "Additional Issuance"), subject to the limitation in the paragraph below. Since the issuance of the Initial Shares, the Company has issued an additional 9,710,000 shares of common stock during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 plus an additional 25,500,000 shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2013.  At the end of the Calculation Period, (a) if the sum of the Initial Shares and any Additional Issuance is less than the Final Amount, the Company shall immediately issue additional shares to Ironridge, up to the Final Amount, and (b) if the sum of the Initial Shares and any Additional Issuance is greater than the Final Amount, Ironridge shall promptly return any remaining shares to the Company and its transfer agent for cancellation.  However, the Order also provides that under no circumstances shall the Company issue to Ironridge a number of shares of common stock in connection with the settlement of claims which, when aggregated with all shares of common stock then owned or beneficially owned or controlled by Ironridge and its affiliates, at any one time exceed 9.99% of the total number of shares of common stock of the Company then issued and outstanding.

The total issuances of 36,225,000 have been accounted for as 1) the issuance of 100,000 shares for fees in connection with the settlement transaction and 2) the issuance of 36,125,000 shares as part of the Final Amount and issued in settlement of the fair value of the liability to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd.  The fee shares were valued at the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $0.40 per share on March 22, 2012, or $40,000, and recorded as share-based compensation for services.  The issuance of 36,125,000 shares in settlement of the fair value of the liability to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. has been accounted for as the reduction of a proportionate amount of the calculated fair value of the original liability to Ironridge, or $491,689 through December 31, 2012 and $1,671,742 through March 31, 2013.  Accordingly, the amount of the liability to Ironridge reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet is $1,489,623 at December 31, 2012 and $309,570 at March 31, 2013.

Note 6 - Secured Notes Payable

Black Cat Exploration & Production, LLC

As further described in Note 2 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, on March 9, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets from Black Cat pursuant to the Black Cat Agreement, as amended.  Pursuant to the terms of the Black Cat Agreement the Company issued a junior secured promissory note in the amount of $1,075,000 as partial consideration for the purchase.  $100,000 of the junior secured promissory note was due on May 31, 2012 and the balance was payable at the later of (i) June 25, 2012 or (ii) 30 days after production commenced from the Mustang Island Well, which was deemed to have occurred on August 29, 2012 when the well was connected to the main offshore pipeline of the Six Pigs Processing facility.  The Company paid $25,000 toward the principal of this note during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and paid an additional $200,000 in November 2012, resulting in a balance of $850,000 at December 31, 2012.  The note accrued interest at 11% per annum, was secured by a second lien mortgage on the properties acquired from Black Cat, and was subordinated to the bridge loan note described below.

As more fully described in Note 2 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, on January 25, 2013, the Company and Black Cat entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release of Claims with Mr. Mason and Black Cat which, among other things, released the Company from its obligation to repay this promissory note and related accrued interest.

Montecito Offshore, L.L.C.

As further described in Note 2, on May 6, 2011, the Company acquired a leasehold interest in oil and gas properties from Montecito Offshore, L.L.C. (Montecito).  Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, as amended, the Company issued a subordinated promissory note in the amount of $500,000 as partial consideration for the purchase.  The note is secured by a second lien mortgage, subordinated to the convertible debentures issued in May 2011, as further described in Note 7 to these condensed consolidated financial statements.  The note bears interest at 9% per annum.  The note and unpaid interest were originally due ninety days after the date of the promissory note, but the due date was extended to August 15, 2011. The note came due on August 15, 2011 and has not been paid.  The Company’s failure to repay the note when due constitutes an event of default under the note.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the note holder has the right to exercise its rights under the security agreement associated with the note.  These rights include, among other things, the right to foreclose on the collateral if necessary.  The Company is exploring alternatives for a partial sale, a farm-in, or the refinancing of the Vermillion 179 tract in order to pay off this note, with accrued interest.

In December 2011, Montecito filed a lawsuit in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans of the State of Louisiana against the Company by filing a Petition to Rescind Sale.  In this action, Montecito is seeking to rescind the asset sale transaction, as described in the previous paragraph.  Currently, depositions are scheduled to begin in May 2013 and there has been no trial date set as of yet.  The Company has entered into settlement discussions, but if no acceptable resolution can be reached, it intends to vigorously defend itself against the lawsuit.

Bridge Loan Note

On March 6, 2012, the Company received proceeds of $250,000 under a secured bridge loan note.  The Company agreed to pay the note holder $277,500 by the maturity date of May 5, 2012.  The bridge loan note was secured by a deed of trust on certain oil and gas properties acquired from Black Cat as described in Note 2 to these condensed consolidated financial statements.  In the event of default, the note holder was entitled to 80% of the proceeds from the sale of production from the collateral property and the principal amount due under the note was to be increased by $27,500.  This note was not repaid by May 5, 2012 and was in default.  Accordingly, the principal amount of the note was increased by $27,500 to $305,000.  In June 2012, the noteholder sold a 50% interest in this note to an entity related to the noteholder.  As described in Note 5 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, proceeds from an unsecured promissory note were used to reduce the balance by $100,000, resulting in a combined balance on the notes of $205,000.  During the period from July to December 2012, the noteholders sold the remaining principal balance of the notes to GEL ($75,000), Prolific ($40,000), and Magna ($90,000), all as disclosed in Note 5 to these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Upon issuance, the Company determined the fair value of the warrants was $8,639 and recorded a corresponding discount to the convertible debentures.  The Company also recorded $27,500 as the original issue discount on this note.  The total discount of $36,139 has been amortized over the sixty day term of the note.  The Company recognized interest expense from the amortization of the discount in the amount of $15,058 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

On December 12, 2012, the Company and these noteholders entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release of Claims in order to settle any and all claims that may have existed between the parties.  In connection with this settlement agreement, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $40,000 to settle unpaid accrued interest, certain legal costs, and other unspecified amounts.  The note bears interest at 6% per annum and is due on or before June 12, 2013.  Additionally, the Company issued a warrant to acquire 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable until December 12, 2013.  The exercise price of the warrant varies from a low of $0.05 per share at December 12, 2012 to $0.20 per share at December 12, 2013.

What Happened LLC

On April 19, 2012, the Company issued a secured promissory note in the principal face amount of $100,000 in exchange for $100,000 from What Happened LLC.  Pursuant to a deed of trust, security agreement and financing statement covering as extracted collateral, the Company granted the investor a security interest in all of the Company’s prospective 6% working interest in the Alvey Lease.  The Company agreed to repay $125,000 on June 18, 2012, plus interest at the rate of 11% per annum.  The secured promissory note was not repaid by the due date and is in default.  Proceeds from the secured promissory note were used to pay an earnest money deposit under a Purchase and Sale Agreement with D Bar Leasing.

In lieu of repayment in cash, the investor has the option of converting the obligation represented by the secured promissory note into a 3.75% carried working interest in the Alvey Lease, which the investor was required to advise the Company of whether it intended to exercise such option on or prior to the maturity of the secured note.  Although the period for exercise of the option has expired, the Company and the investor have had discussions to extend the date to exercise such option to any time prior to repayment.  As disclosed in Note 5 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, What Happened LLC has sold $87,500 of the secured promissory note to GEL and Prolific, leaving a balance of $37,500 which is also expected to be sold. Upon completion of the sale of this note, the option will expire and the Company will retain the 3.75% carried working interest in settlement of the earning money deposit.

La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc.

The Company and La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. (La Jolla) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the SPA) dated as of April 30, 2012 (the Closing Date).  Pursuant to the SPA, the Company issued La Jolla a Convertible Debenture in the amount of $200,000 (the Convertible Debenture) and an Equity Investment Agreement (the Equity Investment Agreement) in exchange for $100,000 in cash and a Secured Promissory Note (the Promissory Note) from La Jolla in the amount of $100,000 which is due on demand by the Company at any time after April 30, 2013.  La Jolla was required to prepay the Promissory Note on January 25, 2013 if certain conditions were met at that date.  However, the conditions were not met.

16

Pursuant to the Convertible Debenture, the Company agreed to pay La Jolla the principal sum of $200,000 (subject to adjustment as provided in the Convertible Debenture) on April 30, 2014 or such earlier date as required by the Convertible Debenture. Interest on the outstanding Convertible Debenture accrues at a rate of 4.75% per annum. The number of shares into which the Convertible Debenture can be converted is equal to the dollar amount being converted, divided by the quotient of the Conversion Price divided by 10, plus the dollar amount of the Convertible Debenture being converted divided by the Conversion Price.  The Conversion Price is defined as equal to the lesser of (i) $4.50 or (ii) 75% of the three lowest volume weighted average prices (“VWAPs”) during the 21 days prior to the date of the conversion notice submitted by La Jolla. If on the date La Jolla delivers a conversion notice, the applicable conversion is below $0.20 (the “Floor Price”), the Company shall have the right exercisable within two business days after the Company’s receipt of the Conversion Notice to prepay that portion of the Convertible Debenture that La Jolla elected to convert.  Any such prepayment shall be made in an amount equal to 120% of the sum of (i) the principal amount to be converted as specified in the applicable conversion notice plus (ii) any accrued and unpaid interest on any such principal amount.

Among the conditions that constitute an event of default is the situation where the average VWAP per share of the Company’s common stock for any period of three consecutive trading days during the term of the Convertible Debenture is less than $0.10 per share.  This condition initially occurred in early June 2012 and has continued through March 31, 2013.  On June 14, 2012, La Jolla notified the Company of the event of default and that it was accelerating the repayment of the Convertible Debenture (net of the $100,000 note receivable), repayment premium, and accrued interest in the aggregate amount of $120,586.  However, in July 2012, La Jolla withdrew its notification.  But, since an event of default has occurred, and has not been cured by the Company or the requirement has not been waived by La Jolla, the Convertible Debenture continues to be callable by La Jolla.  As such, the Convertible Debenture is classified among the current liabilities of the Company and is presented net of the $100,000 note receivable.

Pursuant to the Equity Investment Agreement, La Jolla has the right from time to time during the term of the agreement to purchase up to $2,000,000 of the Company’s Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the agreement.  Beginning October 27, 2012 and for each month thereafter, La Jolla shall purchase from the Company at least $100,000 of common stock, at a price per share equal to 125% of the VWAP on the Closing Date, provided, however, that La Jolla shall not be required to purchase common stock if (i) the VWAP for the five consecutive trading days prior to the payment date is equal to or less than $0.20 per share or (ii) an event of default has occurred under the SPA, the Convertible Debenture or the Equity Investment Agreement. Pursuant to the Equity Investment Agreement, La Jolla has the right to purchase, at any time and in any amount, at La Jolla’s option, common stock from the Company at a price per share equal to 125% of the VWAP on the Closing Date.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, La Jolla sent the Company notices of conversion of $5,800 of the Convertible Debenture and notices of purchase of $58,000 under the Equity Investment Agreement.  Pursuant to these notifications, the Company issued 11,154,739 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $0.0057 per share.

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Debenture, Charles F. Volk, Jr., Anthony Mason and Samuel J. Butero issued a Secured Continuing Personal Guaranty pursuant to which they guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Equity Investment Agreement and the Convertible Debenture, up to a total of $100,000.

The variable conversion price constitutes an embedded derivative under generally accepted accounting principles and is required to be valued at fair value.  The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature has been recorded as a discount to the carrying amount of the Convertible Debenture.  The discount is being amortized over the period from the issuance date to the maturity date or to the conversion date, whichever is earlier.  The Company recognized interest expense from the amortization of the discounts in the amount of $22,170 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  The carrying amount of this Convertible Debenture is $3,643 at March 31, 2013, representing the unconverted face amount of $186,700, less the unamortized discount of $83,057 and less the note receivable due from La Jolla in the amount of $100,000.  The carrying amount of this Convertible Debenture is $(12,727) at December 31, 2012, representing the unconverted face amount of $192,500, less the unamortized discount of $105,227 and less the note receivable due from La Jolla in the amount of $100,000.

Note 7 - Convertible Debentures and Related Warrants

In May 2011 the Company sold units to certain investors for aggregate cash proceeds of $2,550,000 at a price of $30,000 per unit. Each unit consisted of a secured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $30,000 and a warrant to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The convertible debentures were issued in three tranches, matured one year after issuance on May 5, 2012, May 13, 2012, and May 19, 2012, and originally accrued interest at 9% per annum.  The debentures were convertible at the holder’s option at any time into common stock at a conversion price originally set at $1.50 per share.  The debentures will automatically be redeemed with a 30% premium upon a Change of Control or Listing Event (each as defined in the convertible debenture). Interest on the debentures is payable quarterly in arrears in cash.  The Company is in default under the convertible debentures because it has not made the interest payments that were due on July 1, 2011, October 1, 2011, January 1, 2012, April 1, 2012, May 5, 2012, May 13, 2012, and May 19, 2012, and has not repaid the principal which matured on May 5, 2012, May 13, 2012, and May 19, 2012.  As such, the Company is in default on all unpaid principal and total accrued interest of $783,839 as of March 31, 2013.  The default interest rate is 18% per annum.  Interest on the convertible debentures has been accrued at 18% in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements commencing on July 1, 2011, the date when the Company first defaulted on an interest payment.  To date, such default has not been either cured by the Company or waived by the holders of the convertible debentures.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the debenture holders have the right to exercise their rights under the Mineral Mortgage associated with the debentures.  These rights include, among other things, the right to foreclose on the collateral if necessary.  The Company is currently working to resolve the default on these debentures.  The Company can provide no assurance that it will obtain a resolution, or that the secured creditors will not eventually foreclose if not paid in the near term.  The Company is exploring alternatives for a partial sale, a farm-in, or the refinancing of the Vermillion 179 tract in order to pay off the debentures, with accrued interest.

The debentures contain price ratchet anti-dilution protection.  In addition, the conversion price shall be adjusted if the conversion price of securities in a subsequent offering by the Company is adjusted pursuant to a make good provision.  The shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures are entitled to piggyback registration rights.  The Company has determined that this anti-dilution reset provision caused the conversion feature to be bifurcated from the debentures, treated as a derivative liability, and accounted for at its fair value.  Upon issuance, the Company recorded a corresponding discount to the convertible debentures.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and during the year ended December 31, 2012, the conversion of certain unsecured convertible promissory notes and related issuance of common stock triggered the reset of the conversion price of the convertible debentures pursuant to the price ratchet anti-dilution protection provisions of these agreements.  As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the reset conversion price of the debentures is $0.0027 and $0.0087 per share, respectively, based on the lowest of the conversion prices.  As further explained in Note 15 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the conversion price of these debentures has been further adjusted subsequent to March 31, 2013 pursuant to the price ratchet anti-dilution protection provisions.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013, a debenture holder sent the Company notices of conversion of $13,468 of convertible debentures and $36,532 of the accrued interest.  Pursuant to these notices, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $0.005 per share.

18

In connection with this placement of convertible debentures, the Company issued warrants to acquire 1,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the debenture holders.  The warrants were originally exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.  The warrants became exercisable on a cashless basis six months after issuance because there was not an effective registration statement registering for resale the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants are entitled to piggyback registration rights.  The warrants contain price ratchet anti-dilution protection.  The Company has determined that this anti-dilution reset provision of the warrants is subject to derivative liability treatment and is required to be accounted for at its fair value.  Upon issuance, the Company determined the fair value of the warrants and recorded a corresponding discount to the convertible debentures.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and during the year ended December 31, 2012, the conversion of certain unsecured convertible promissory notes and related issuance of common stock triggered the reset of the exercise price of these warrants pursuant to the price ratchet anti-dilution protection provisions of these agreements.  As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the reset exercise price of the warrants is $0.0027 and $0.0087 per share, respectively, based on the lowest of the conversion prices.  As further explained in Note 15 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the exercise price of these warrants has been further adjusted subsequent to March 31, 2013 pursuant to the price ratchet anti-dilution protection provisions.  

The total discount to the debentures of $2,367,194 has been amortized over the one year term of the debentures using the effective interest method.  The Company recognized interest expense from the amortization of the discounts in the amount of $929,379 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The carrying amount of the convertible debentures is $2,536,532 at March 31, 2013 and $2,550,000 at December 31, 2012, representing their unconverted face amount since the discount is now fully amortized. 

In connection with this sale of convertible debentures and warrants, the Company 1) incurred a placement fee with its placement agent of $356,000, 2)issued five-year warrants to its placement agent to acquire 170,000 shares of common stock, which was 10% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures, and 3) paid $50,000 for legal services in connection with the issuance of these convertible debentures and warrants.  The warrants issued to the placement agent were originally exercisable at $3.00 per share, may be exercised on a cashless basis, and contain price ratchet anti-dilution protection.  The Company has determined that this anti-dilution reset provision of the warrants is subject to derivative liability treatment and is required to be accounted for at its fair value.  Upon issuance, the Company determined the fair value of the warrants and recorded a corresponding charge to deferred financing costs.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and during the year ended December 31, 2012, the conversion of certain unsecured convertible promissory notes and related issuance of common stock triggered the reset of the exercise price of these warrants pursuant to the price ratchet anti-dilution protection provisions of these agreements.  As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the reset exercise price of the warrants is $0.0027 and $0.0087 per share, respectively, based on the lowest of the conversion prices.  As further explained in Note 15 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the exercise price of these warrants has been further adjusted subsequent to March 31, 2013 pursuant to the price ratchet anti-dilution protection provisions.  

Total deferred financing costs recorded for the issuance of convertible debentures was $531,688.  Deferred financing costs have been amortized over the one year term of the debentures using the effective interest method.  The Company amortized deferred financing costs in the amount of $141,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  

Pursuant to the debentures and warrants, no holder may convert or exercise such holder’s debenture or warrant if such conversion or exercise would result in the holder beneficially owning in excess of 4.99% of our then issued and outstanding common stock. A holder may, however, increase or decrease this limitation (but in no event exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding) by providing the Company with 61 days’ notice that such holder wishes to increase or decrease this limitation.

Pursuant to a Mineral Mortgage between the Company and the purchasers of the debentures and warrants, the Company granted a first priority lien on all assets acquired from Montecito Offshore, L.L.C., as further discussed in Note 2 to these consolidated financial statements.

Note 8 - Derivative Liabilities

Convertible Debenures and Related Warrants

As described in Notes 7 and 10 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company issued convertible debentures and various warrants which contain price ratchet anti-dilution protection.  The Company has determined that these anti-dilution reset provisions of the convertible debentures and these warrants are subject to derivative liability treatment and are required to be accounted for at fair value.  Upon issuance, the Company determined the aggregate fair value of the embedded derivative was $2,833,829.  The Company has determined the aggregate fair value of the embedded derivative was $5,049,996 at March 31, 2013 and $5,460,914 at December 31, 2012.  The Company has recorded a gain on the change in the derivative liability of $228,098 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and recorded a gain on the change in the derivative liability of $1,205,129 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

19

The Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivative using multinomial lattice models. Accordingly, the fair value of the embedded derivative as determined using the lattice model is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected stock price volatility over the term of the debentures and warrants, actual and projected redemptions and conversion price resets.  Expected volatility is based primarily on the historical volatility of other comparable oil and gas companies.  Volatility used in the calculation ranged from a low of 46% in year one to a high of 110% in year five.  Management estimated that the probability of the debentures being redeemed at 0% initially, increasing by 1% per month thereafter to a maximum of 20%.

Convertible Promissory Notes

As described above in Notes 5 and 6 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has issued convertible promissory notes to unaffiliated entities and individuals which contain variable conversion prices and in some cases, anti-dilution reset provisions, which are treated as embedded derivatives under generally accepted accounting principles and are required to be accounted for at fair value.  The Company has estimated the fair value of these beneficial conversion features using multinomial lattice models. Accordingly, the fair value of the beneficial conversion features as determined using the lattice models is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the notes, actual and projected redemptions and conversion price resets.  Expected volatility is based primarily on the historical volatility of other comparable oil and gas companies.  Volatility used in the calculation ranged from a low of 46% in year one to a high of 110% in year five.  Management estimated that the probability of the debentures being redeemed at 0% initially, increasing by 1% per month thereafter to a maximum of 20%.

The fair value of the embedded derivatives for unconverted notes was estimated to be $2,217,420 and $2,334,421 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The Company recognized a loss from the change in fair value of these derivative liabilities of $64,129 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and recognized a loss from the change in fair value of these derivative liabilities of $18,893 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Company Overview

Worthington Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) is an oil and gas exploration and production company with assets in Texas and recently acquired properties in the Gulf of Mexico.Our assets in Texas consist of a minority working interest in limited production and drilling prospects in the Cooke Ranch area of La Salle County, Texas, and Jefferson County, Texas, all operated by Bayshore Exploration L.L.C.The Texas asset had limited revenues and substantial losses, which we expect for the foreseeable future. We have recently determined to expand our operations.In May 2011, we acquired our assets in the Gulf of Mexico referred to as Vermilion 179 (“VM 179”) consisting of a leasehold working interest in certain oil and gas leases located offshore from Louisiana, upon which no drilling or production has commenced as of yet.We recently completed the acquisition of a 10.35% interest in the I-1 well and a 2% overriding royalty interest (“ORRI”) in 1,400 acres in the 818-L Mustang Island lease

In Texas, we have working interests ranging from 4% to 31.75% (net revenue interests ranging from 3% to 23.8125%) in the various wells in which we have participated.In the Gulf of Mexico, we have a 70% leasehold working interest, with a net revenue interest of 51.975% of certain oil and gas leases in the Vermillion 179 tract.VM 179 is adjacent to Exxon's VM 164 #A9 well.

We are seeking to make additional acquisitions that are currently producing oil in the United States as a way to increase our cash flow.Other than as disclosed herein, we currently do not have any contracts or agreements to acquire additional companies and/or working interests in existing wells, and no assurances can be given that we will identify or acquire such additional acquisitions on terms acceptable to us, if at all.Additional acquisitions will likely require the issuance of equity or debt securities, either directly or indirectly to raise funds for such acquisitions.

Organization

We were organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 30, 2004 under the name Paxton Energy, Inc. During August 2004, shareholder control of our company was transferred, a new board of directors was elected and new officers were appointed. These officers and directors managed us until March 17, 2010 when a new board of directors was elected and new officers were appointed. Effective January 27, 2012, we changed our name to Worthington Energy, Inc.

Background

Black Cat Acquisition

On March 9, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets from Black Cat Exploration & Production LLC (“Black Cat”) pursuant to an amended Purchase and Sale Agreement for Oil & Gas Properties and Related Assets (the “Black Cat Agreement”).  The Company acquired a 2% override interest in the Mustang Island 818-L lease, covering 1,400 acres in the Gulf of Mexico, with a 10.35% carried interest in the recently drilled I-1 well, located on the lease. The Company paid $175,000 in cash, issued a note for $1,075,000 and agreed to issue 4,500,000 shares of common stock, of which 2,250,000 shares were issued to Black Cat at the time of closing and the remaining 2,250,000 shares were issued on August 30, 2012 pursuant to when the well was connected to the main offshore pipeline of the Six Pigs Processing facility.  The leasehold interest was capitalized in the amount of $2,305,987, representing $1,250,000 in cash and promissory note, $855,000 for the initial common stock issued in March 2012 (based on a closing price of $0.38 per share on the closing date), $157,500 for the second issuance of common stock in August 2012 (based on the most recent closing price of $0.07 per share at the time of connecting the well), and $43,487 in acquisition and well costs.  

On November 1, 2012, the Company sold its 2% overriding royalty interest in the Mustang Island 818-L lease for $500,000.  The sale reduced the carrying cost of the lease and well to $1,805,987.  Proceeds from the sale were used to reduce the principal balance of the junior secured promissory note with Black Cat by $200,000 and the remaining $300,000 was used by the Company for working capital purposes.

In connection with its accounting for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company evaluated the accounting effects of the Settlement Agreement and concluded that estimated impairment in the approximate amount of $750,000 should be recorded as of December 31, 2012 by further reducing the carrying cost of the properties to $1,055,987.  In January 2013, the Company accounted for the Settlement Agreement by removing the carrying value of the property; removed the released liabilities for the promissory note in the amount of $850,000; removed current liabilities for amounts owed to Mr. Mason, Black Cat, and others for accrued interest, accrued compensation, lease operating expenses, and other expenses in the aggregate amount of $265,364; recorded the fair value of the common stock returned to the Company for cancelation in the amount of $54,000; recorded a liability to Mr. Mason of $125,000; and recognized additional impairment expense of $11,623.

Black Cat Disposition

On January 25, 2013, we entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release of claims (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Anthony Mason (“Mason”) and Black Cat Exploration & Productions, LLC (“Black Cat”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, we agreed to pay Black Cat and/or Mason $125,000 in 10 equal payments, with the first payment due March 11, 2013 and the remaining payments every 30 days thereafter until paid in full (the “Settlement Payment”).  We made a payment of $10,000 on March 20, 2013 but we are currently delinquent, as we did not make the entire first payment due and we did not make the second payment, which was due on or before April 10, 2013. In the event that we obtain a credit facility in an amount equal to or greater than $3,500,000, the full amount of the Settlement Payment then outstanding will become immediately due and payable.  In addition, we agreed to transfer to Black Cat all title and interest we owned in the I-1 well, Mustang Island 818-L lease and other assets acquired from Black Cat pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement between us and Black Cat, dated November 14, 2011, as amended by the First Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement dated March 5, 2012 (the “Purchase Agreement”).  Furthermore, all production from the I-1 well, from the date the well went online (approximately August 30, 2012) was transferred to Black Cat in connection with the Settlement Agreement.

Black Cat agreed to return to us for cancellation the 4.5 million shares of our common stock it received in connection with the Purchase Agreement as well as all studies and engineering information related to the VM 179 seismic acquisition.  Further, in connection with the Settlement Agreement, Mason agreed to resign as our President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director.

VM 179

The oil and gas leases are located in the VM 179, which is in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico offshore from Louisiana, adjacent to Exxon's VM 164 #A9 well. No drilling or production has commenced as of yet, and we have the option of being the operator at VM 179 or engaging another party as operator.

VM 179 is at 85’ water depth approximately 46 miles offshore Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico.  Virgin Offshore USA acquired the 547 acre lease in May 2004.  Much of VM 179 is impacted by a large regional salt dome.  Salt domes are geologic features that are commonly associated with the presence of oil and gas reserves in the U.S. Gulf Coast and Gulf of Mexico, and production in the blocks adjacent to VM 179 is largely from the flanks of that same regional salt dome.    Cumulative production from VM Block 178, to the east of VM 179, totals approximately 56.1 Bcfe and 232 MBoe.  Cumulative production from VM Block 164, to the north of VM 179, totals approximately 19 MMBoe and 91 Bcfe.

We are proposing a single well on VM 179 to capture reserves in (i) the Lentic K-2 Sand, which is currently being produced by the Exxon VM Block 164 and (ii) the 7400’ Sand, which was encountered by a previously drilled well in the area.  Exxon drilled the VM Block 164 #A9ST2, adjacent to our proposed lease line well location, in September 2005, completing the well in the K2 Sand in November 2005.  It is believed that the Exxon well will be limited in its capacity to capture all of the reserves in the K-2 Sand because of its structural location in the reservoir, which is below, or “down dip,” of the proposed lease line well in the K-2 Sand.

D Bar Leasing Agreement

On April 26, 2012, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with D Bar Leasing Inc. (“D Bar”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, at closing, we will purchase from D Bar, all rights, title and interest that D Bar owns in certain wells in the State of Texas (the “Assets”) in exchange for $3,500,000 and the issuance of 2.5 million shares of our common stock.In addition, D Bar shall retain a 15% carried interest in the Assets and we shall be committed to spending approximately $1.1 million on work-over operations on the Assets, commencing with a nine well work over program of proven behind pipe reserves.

29

The closing of the Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, as well as the following closing conditions, among others:

● Each of us and D Bar shall have performed and complied with all terms of the Agreement required to be performed or complied with by it at or prior to closing;

● All consents, approvals and authorizations of assignments related to the purchase of the Assets have been completed;

● The representations and warranties made by each party shall be true and correct in all material respects on the closing date and on the date the Agreement was executed;

● The satisfaction of the due diligence to be performed by us on certain matters, including with specific reference D-Bar’s title to the Assets being sold; and

● We shall have obtained the necessary financing to complete the transaction.

The closing of the Agreement was to be on or before June 10, 2012 although the parties are currently extending the closing date to accommodate our financial partner in this venture.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

Oil and Gas Revenues

Our oil and gas revenue was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  Bayshore has ceased to report to us the amounts of our respective share in oil and gas revenues and we understand that the oil wells are shut in and not producing.  The historical level of oil and gas production has not been significant.  Because the level of oil and gas production has not been significant in the past, we continue to be characterized as an exploration-stage company.

Cost and Operating Expenses

Our costs and operating expenses were $453,478 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $687,368 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, representing a decrease of $233,890.  The decrease in our costs and operating expenses are primarily a result of decreases in general and administrative expenses as well as in share-based compensation charges, as discussed below.

Lease Operating Expenses – Lease operating expenses were $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  Bayshore has ceased to report to us the amounts of our respective share of lease operating expenses and we understand that the oil wells are shut in and not producing.

Accretion of Asset Retirement Obligations – Accretion of asset retirement obligations was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $57 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, representing a decrease of $57. The amount of and decrease in accretion of asset retirement obligations expenses principally reflects the fact that the original accretion periods for all wells are complete.

General and Administrative Expense – General and administrative expense was $368,867 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $569,307 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, representing a decrease of $200,440.  The decrease in general and administrative expense during the three months ended March 31, 2013, is principally related to decreases of: (1) $108,390 for consulting services; (2) $58,253 for legal services; and (3) $22,488 for outside services.  The reduction in consulting services represents a decrease in payments related to investor relations, energy, financing, and general business services as a result of a general decreased need for such consulting services.  The decrease in legal services principally relates to approximately $65,000 of costs incurred in 2012 in connection with the debt settlement with Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. (“Ironridge”) for the payment of Ironridge’s legal costs as well as payment of certain noteholder’s claimed legal costs when their notes were settled through Ironridge.  The decrease in the costs of outside services principally relates to the decreased use temporary office personnel.

32

Share-Based Compensation – We have entered into various transactions that have resulted in the recording of share-based compensation during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.  Share-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $72,988.  The transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2013 were as follows:

● During the period since the change of control transaction, we have granted options to acquire common stock to our officers and employees, as well as to certain consultants. Certain of these options vested immediately, while other options vest over periods of up to thirty months from the grant date. Additionally, we have granted stock options and issued compensation-based warrants and stock awards to consulting firms.  Share-based compensation is measured on the grant date for stock options and on the issue date for compensation-based warrants and stock awards, and recognized over the vesting period. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we reported share-based compensation related to these stock options, stock warrants, and stock awards of $52,788;

● In connection with a consulting agreement dated February 1, 2013 with David Pinkman, a newly-appointed member of the board of directors, we issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Pinkman for consulting services to the Company.  For accounting purposes, this issuance has been recorded at $5,200, or $0.0052 per share, the closing price of the common stock on the date the issuance was made; and

● On February 6, 2013, we issued 500,000 shares of common stock to an employee as bonus compensation for services rendered.  For accounting purposes, we have valued this issuance at $15,000, or $0.03 per share.

Share-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $118,004.  The transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2012 were as follows:

 

● As described above, we have granted options to acquire common stock to our officers and employees, as well as to certain consultants.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we reported share-based compensation related to these stock options, stock warrants, and stock awards of $78,004; and

● In March 2012, we issued 100,000 shares of common stock to Ironridge in connection with a court-approved Order for Approval of Stipulation for Settlement of Claims.  The Order provided, among other things, for the immediate issuance by us of 100,000 shares of common stock to Ironridge as a fee in connection with the settlement.  The issuance of common stock was recorded at $40,000, based on the closing price of the common stock on the date of issuance.

Although the net changes with respect to our revenues and our costs and operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, are summarized above, the trends contained therein are limited and should not be viewed as a definitive indication of our future results.

Other Income (Expense)

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities – As more fully discussed in Notes 5, 6 and 8 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we issued convertible promissory notes commencing in April 2010 which contain a variable conversion price and anti-dilution reset provisions.  In addition, as more fully discussed in Notes 7, 8 and 10 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we issued convertible debentures and warrants that contain price ratchet anti-dilution protection.  These beneficial conversion features are treated as embedded derivatives under generally accepted accounting principles and are required to be accounted for at fair value. We have estimated the fair value of the beneficial conversion features of the convertible promissory notes, the convertible debentures, and the related warrants using multinomial lattice models.  The fair value of these derivative liabilities was estimated to be $7,267,416 and $7,795,335 as of March 31, 201,3 and December 31, 2012, respectively. We recognized a gain from the change in fair value of these derivative liabilities of $163,969 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and a gain from the change in fair value of these derivative liabilities of $1,186,236 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

33

Interest Expense –We incurred interest expense of $164,987 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $155,996 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, representing an increase of $8,991. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to the increase in the amount of our unsecured convertible debt through March 31, 2013 as compared to March 31, 2012.

Amortization of discount on convertible notes and other debt – As more fully discussed in Notes 5, 6, 7 and 8 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we have issued convertible promissory notes and debentures to several individuals or entities, commencing in April 2010. In each case, the notes and debentures have a favorable conversion price in comparison to the market price of our common stock on the date of the issuance of the notes. Additionally, the convertible debentures and certain of the convertible promissory notes contain price ratchet anti-dilution reset provisions.  The fair value of these beneficial conversion features is measured on the issue date of the notes. Generally, a discount is recorded for these beneficial conversion features and amortized over the term of the note or debenture as a non-cash charge to the statement of operations. We have amortized $677,617 of discount on convertible notes and debentures for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $1,277,921 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2013, there is $391,631 of recorded, but unamortized, discount on the convertible promissory notes that will be amortized and recorded as a non-cash expense over the remaining terms of the respective notes.

Amortization of deferred financing costs – In connection with the sale of convertible debentures and warrants, we 1) incurred a placement fee with our placement agent of $356,000, 2)issued five-year warrants to our placement agent to acquire 1.7 million shares of common stock, and 3) paid $50,000 for legal services.  We determined the fair value of the warrants was $125,688.  Total deferred financing costs recorded for the issuance of convertible debentures was $531,688.  These deferred financing costs were amortized over the one year term of the debentures using the effective interest method through May 2012.  We amortized deferred financing costs in the amount of $141,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  Since these costs were fully amortized in 2012, there is no amortization of deferred financing costs for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the year ended December 31, 2012, and the three months ended March 31, 2013, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of proceeds from the sale of unsecured convertible promissory notes, common stock and warrants. During the year ended December 31, 2012, and the three months ended March 31, 2013, our sources of capital resources were 1) the issuance of unsecured convertible promissory notes totaling an aggregate of $1,071,000, 2) the private placement of common stock and warrants in the aggregate amount of $70,000, 3) the issuance of a bridge loan note of $250,000, 4) the issuance of a secured convertible debenture of $100,000, 5) the issuance of a secured promissory note of $100,000, 6) proceeds from the issuance of common stock under an equity investment agreement of $133,000, and 7) the issuance of unsecured promissory notes for $175,000.  At March 31, 2013, we had $7,105 in cash. At March 31, 2013, we had a working capital deficit of $5,954,084, as compared to a deficit of $8,005,631 as of December 31, 2012. The working capital deficit is principally the result of historical losses with operations and oil and gas property acquisitions financed through trade creditors and through the use of short-term debt.  The decrease in the working capital deficit for the three months ended March 31, 2013, is principally due to 1) the issuance of new short-term debt totaling $188,000, 2) net decrease in debt discounts of approximately $76,000, 3) increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of approximately $177,000, 4) decrease in payable to Ironridge from issuance of common stock of approximately $1,180,000, 5) less debt conversions of approximately $357,000, 6) net liabilities released under the settlement agreement with Black Cat of approximately $990,000, and 7) decrease in current assets of approximately $35,000.  In addition, we have total stockholders’ deficit of $6,962,319 at March 31, 2013, compared to total stockholders’ deficit of $8,484,524 at December 31, 2012, a decrease in the stockholders’ deficit of $1,522,205.  The decrease in the stockholders’ deficit for the three months ended March 31, 2013, is principally due to 1) aggregate amount of debt, accrued interest, and derivative liability converted into stockholders’ equity by the issuance of common stock related to debt conversions for a total of $1,295,247; 2) the reduction of $1,180,053 in the amount of the payable to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. that was converted into stockholders’ equity through the issuance of common stock; and 3) less the amount of our net loss of $1,132,113.

Our operations used net cash of $296,960 during the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $350,989 of net cash used during the three months ended March 31, 2012.  Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013, consisted of our net loss of $1,132,113, less non-cash expenses for the impairment loss on oil and gas properties of $11,623, share-based compensation of $72,988, amortization of deferred financing costs and discount on convertible notes of $677,617, and depreciation expense of $1,274, and further reduced by non-cash changes in working capital of $235,620, plus the non-cash gain for the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $163,969.

We had no investing activities that either used cash or provided cash during the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to cash used in investing activity of $199,073 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  Investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 included cash paid totaling $196,642 toward the acquisition of oil and gas properties from Black Cat and the purchase of office equipment with a total cost of $2,431.  

Financing activities provided $296,000 of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $575,668 during the three months ended March 31, 2012.  Cash flows from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013, relate to 1) the receipt of proceeds from the placement of unsecured convertible promissory notes in the amount of $188,000 and 2) proceeds from issuance of common stock and warrants for $108,000.  Cash flows from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012, relate to 1) the receipt of proceeds from the placement of unsecured convertible promissory notes in the amount of $325,000 and 2) proceeds of $250,000 from the issuance of a bridge loan promissory note. 

34

We are currently seeking debt and equity financing to fund potential acquisitions and other expenditures, although we do not have any contracts or commitments for either at this time. We will have to raise additional funds to continue operations and, while we have been successful in doing so in the past, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain necessary additional funds to continue operations and the attainment of profitable operations.  We hope that working capital will become available via financing activities currently contemplated with regards to VM 179.  In January 2013, we received a preliminary commitment letter from an interested funding group for an $8,500,000 secured loan.  The proposed term of the loan is $3,500,000 initially and the balance to be drawn down within 90 days thereafter.  The loan would have a three year repayment schedule based on a 48 month amortization, with an annual interest rate of 14.95%.  The lender would be entitled to overriding intrests in all oil and gas production and certain other customary fees and expenses.  The loan is subject to final approval of the lender’s credit committee and numerous conditions to closing, including, among others, additional equity from farm-in partners or other shareholders and a third-party review and verification of the reserves.  We can provide no assurances that this loan will be completed or that we can obtain other working capital on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

May 2011 Private Placement

In May 2011, we completed a financing which generated aggregate gross cash proceeds of $2,550,000 through the sale of the convertible secured debentures and common stock purchase warrants.  The convertible debentures matured in May 2012 and bear interest at 9% per annum and are convertible at the holder’s option at any time into common stock at the original conversion price of $1.50 per share. The convertible debentures will automatically be redeemed with a 30% premium upon a Change of Control or Listing Event (each as defined in the Note). Interest on the convertible debentures is payable quarterly in arrears in cash. The convertible debentures contain price ratchet anti-dilution protection. In addition the conversion price shall be adjusted if the conversion price of securities in a subsequent offering by us is adjusted pursuant to a make good provision. The shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures are entitled to piggyback registration rights.  As of May 20, 2013, debentures totaling $70,424 and accrued interest totaling $71,965 have been converted into common stock.

As of May 20, 2013, all of the outstanding debentures have matured.  We are in default under the convertible debentures because we have not (i) repaid the debentures in the aggregate principal face amount of $2,479,576 or (ii) made the interest payments that were due starting on July 1, 2011, and continuing through the maturity dates.  As of March 31, 2013, the total interest that was due is $783,839 with interest continuing to accrue at the default interest rate of 18% per annum.  Furthermore, as a result of stock issuances between February 2012 and May 2013, the conversion price of the debentures has been reset to $0.00038 per share, which would result in the issuance of approximately 6.5 billion shares of common stock upon conversion of the principal amount, not including accrued interest.  We currently do not have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock available for issuance upon conversion of these debentures.

The common stock purchase warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at an original exercise price of $3.00 per share. The warrants contain price ratchet anti-dilution protection. The warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis because there is not an effective registration statement registering for resale the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants are entitled to piggyback registration rights.  As a result of share issuances between February 2012 and May 2013, the exercise price of the warrants has been reset to $0.00038 per share.

Pursuant to the convertible debentures and related warrants, no holder may convert or exercise such holder’s debenture or warrant if such conversion or exercise would result in the holder beneficially owning in excess of 4.99% of our then issued and outstanding common stock. A holder may, however, increase or decrease this limitation (but in no event exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding) by providing the Company with 61 days’ notice that such holder wishes to increase or decrease this limitation.

Pursuant to the security agreement, between ourselves and the investors, we granted the investors a first priority lien on all assets acquired from Montecito pursuant to the Montecito Agreement.

Montecito Promissory Note

On May 6, 2011, in connection with our acquisition of certain assets from Montecito Offshore LLC, we issued Montecito a subordinated promissory note in the amount of $500,000.  The subordinated promissory note is subordinated to the secured convertible notes we issued in the private placement that closed on May 5, 2011.  The Montecito Note was due in August 2011 and accrued interest at the rate of 9% per annum until maturity and continues to accrues interest at the highest legal rate allowed since maturity since the Montecito Note is in default for failure to pay principal and interest when due.

On September 5, 2012, we entered into an agreement with GEL, pursuant to which we issued GEL two additional convertible notes. The first note, due September 5, 2013 in the principal amount of $50,000 (the “GEL VI Note”), was issued in exchange for $50,000.  The second note, due September 5, 2013 in the principal amount of $50,000 (the “GEL VII Note”), was issued in exchange for a promissory note from GEL in the amount of $50,000 (the “GEL VII Payment Note”).   

The GEL VII Payment Note is due on June 5, 2013, unless we do not meet the current information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, at which time the note will come due at the time that we meet the current information requirements.  The GEL VII Payment Note is secured by the $50,000 GEL VII Note, and such collateral can be exchanged by GEL for other collateral.

Interest on the notes with accrues at the rate of 6% per annum and must be paid in shares of our common stock at the conversion price.  We are not required to make any payments on the notes with GEL until maturity.  We have the ability to repay the notes to GEL at any time at 150% of the unpaid principal amount upon five days prior written notice to the Investor.

On September 13, 2012, October 19, 2012, and February 27, 2013, we entered into securities purchase agreements with Asher Enterprises, Inc., an accredited investor (“Asher”), providing for the sale by us to Asher of 8% convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $128,000 (the “Asher Debentures”).  The outstanding balance on the Asher Debentures is $87,500 as of May 20, 2013.

The Asher Debentures mature on June 19, 2013, July 23, 2013, and December 1, 2013, respectively, (the “Asher Maturity Dates”) and bear interest at the annual rate of 8%.  We are not required to make any payments until the Asher Maturity Dates.

What Happened LLC

On April 19, 2012, we issued a secured promissory note in the principal face amount of $100,000 (the “Secured Note”) in exchange for $100,000 from What Happened LLC, an accredited investor (“WH LLC”).  Pursuant to a deed of trust, security agreement and financing statement covering as extracted collateral, we granted WH LLC a security interest in all of our prospective 6% working interest in the Alvey Lease. We agreed to repay $125,000 on June 18, 2012, plus interest at the rate of 11% per annum.  The Secured Note was not repaid by the due date and is in default.

In lieu of repayment in cash, WH LLC had the option of converting the obligation represented by the Secured Note into a 3.75% carried working interest in the Alvey Lease, which WH LLC was required to advise us of whether it intended to exercise such option on or prior to the maturity of the Secured Note.  On February 28, 2013, WH LLC sold $50,000 of this note to Prolific and $37,500 of the secured promissory note to GEL, and on May 8, 2013 WH LLC sold $25,000 of this note to Magna Group, LLC (“Magna”), leaving a balance of $12,500 which is also expected to be sold.  The notes sold to Prolific and GEL were amended to accrue interest at 6% per annum, to mature on February 28, 2014, and to be convertible at a conversion price per share equal to seventy percent (70%) of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock during the five trading days immediately preceding and including the date of conversion.  The note sold to Magna was amended to accrue interest at 12% per annum, to mature on May 8, 2014, and to be convertible at a conversion price per share equal to fifty percent (50%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the common stock during the three days prior to the date of conversion.  Magna has converted $15,000 of the note that it acquired, leaving a balance of $10,000 as of May 20, 2013.

La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc.

We entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. (“La Jolla”) dated as of April 30, 2012 (the “Closing Date”).  Pursuant to the SPA, we issued La Jolla a Convertible Debenture in the amount of $200,000 (the “Convertible Debenture”) and an Equity Investment Agreement (the “Equity Investment Agreement”) in exchange for $100,000 in cash and a Secured Promissory Note (the “Promissory Note”) from La Jolla in the amount of $100,000 which is due on demand by the Company at any time after April 30, 2013. 

38

Pursuant to the Convertible Debenture, we agreed to pay La Jolla the principal sum of $200,000 (subject to adjustment as provided in the Convertible Debenture) on April 30, 2014 or such earlier date as required by the Convertible Debenture. Interest on the outstanding Convertible Debenture accrues at a rate of 4.75% per annum.  The number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debenture is equal to the dollar amount being converted, divided by the quotient of the Conversion Price divided by 10, plus the dollar amount of the Convertible Debenture being converted divided by the Conversion Price.  The Conversion Price is defined as equal to the lesser of (i) $4.50 or (ii) 75% of the three lowest volume weighted average prices (“VWAPs”) during the 21 days prior to the date of the conversion notice submitted by La Jolla.  If on the date La Jolla delivers a conversion notice, the applicable conversion is below $.20 (the “Floor Price”), the Company shall have the right exercisable within two business days after the Company’s receipt of the Conversion Notice to prepay that portion of the Convertible Debenture that La Jolla elected to convert.  Any such prepayment shall be made in an amount equal to 120% of the sum of (i) the principal amount to be converted as specified in the applicable conversion notice plus (ii) any accrued and unpaid interest on any such principal amount.

Among the conditions that constitute an event of default is the situation where the average volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock for any period of three consecutive trading days during the term of the Convertible Debenture is less than $0.10 per share.  This condition initially occurred in early June 2012 and has continued since that date.  On June 14, 2012, La Jolla notified the Company of the event of default and that it was accelerating the repayment of the Convertible Debenture (net of the $100,000 note receivable), repayment premium, and accrued interest in the aggregate amount of $120,586.  However, in July 2012, La Jolla withdrew it notification and acceleration of repayment.

Pursuant to the Equity Investment Agreement, La Jolla has the right from time to time during the term of the agreement to purchase up to $2,000,000 of our Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the agreement.  Beginning October 27, 2012 and for each month thereafter, La Jolla shall purchase from the Company at least $100,000 of common stock, at a price per share equal to 125% of the VWAP on the Closing Date, provided, however, that La Jolla shall not be required to purchase common stock if (i) the VWAP for the five consecutive trading days prior to the payment date is equal to or less than $0.20 per share or (ii) an event of default has occurred under the SPA, the Convertible Debenture or the Equity Investment Agreement. Pursuant to the Equity Investment Agreement, La Jolla has the right to purchase, at any time and in any amount, at La Jolla’s option, common stock from the Company at a price per share equal to 125% of the VWAP on the Closing Date.

On various dates through May 20, 2013, La Jolla has sent us notices of conversion totaling $15,500 of the Convertible Debenture and a notice of purchase of $155,000 under the Equity Investment Agreement.

La Jolla had the right, at any time on or prior to January 25, 2013, to purchase an additional debenture on the same terms and conditions of the Convertible Debenture in the amount of $400,000 and enter into an additional equity investment agreement on the same terms and conditions of the Equity Investment Agreement, except that the amount of stock that La Jolla can purchase shall be $4,000,000.  Even though this arrangement had expired, we have allowed La Jolla to purchase additional shares of common stock at the 125% of the VWAP on the purchase date.  On February 12, 2013 La Jolla purchased 43,636 shares of common stock for $12,000.  On February 25, 2013, La Jolla purchased 40,000 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $11,000. On March 12, 2013, La Jolla purchased 54,545 shares of common stock for $15,000.  On April 3, 2013, La Jolla purchased an additional 54,545 shares of common stock for $15,000.  Finally, on April 29, 2013, La Jolla purchased an additional 25,455 shares of common stock for $7,000.

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Debenture, Charles F. Volk, Jr., Anthony Mason and Samuel J. Butero issued a Secured Continuing Personal Guaranty pursuant to which they guaranteed our obligations under the Equity Investment Agreement and the Convertible Debenture, up to a total of $100,000.

Claudell and Nancy LeBlanc Financing

On July 31, 2012, we issued a promissory note to Claudell and Nancy LeBlanc (the “LeBlancs”) in exchange for proceeds of $100,000.  The promissory note was due on or before October 31, 2012 by payment of $115,000, including interest of $15,000 for the three month term.  As of May 20, 2013, this note has not been paid and is in default.  In addition, we issued the LeBlancs a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock (the “LeBlanc Warrant”).  The LeBlanc Warrant has an exercise price of $0.10 per share of common stock and will be exercisable for a period of three years from issuance.  The LeBlanc Warrant can be exercised on a cashless basis.

39

Haverstock Equity Facility Agreement

On June 22, 2012, we entered into a committed equity facility agreement (the “Equity Facility”) with Haverstock Master Fund, Ltd. (“Haverstock”), pursuant to which Haverstock has committed to purchasing up to $7.5 million of shares of our common stock, at our request, in accordance with the Equity Facility.  We will need to file and obtain effectiveness of a registration statement registering shares of common stock available for sale to Haverstock pursuant to the Equity Facility.  We intend to begin the registration statement process shortly. After the registration statement is declared effective, we are allowed to deliver to Haverstock, once every five trading days, an advance request, which shall be the greater of (i) $100,000, or (ii) the lower of (A) the average of the daily value of our stock traded for the five trading days prior to the delivery of the advance request, or (B) the average of the daily value of our stock traded for the 30 trading days prior to the delivery of the advance request.

On the sixth trading day after delivery of an advance notice, we are required to deliver to Haverstock such number of shares of common stock equal to the amount of the advance notice, divided by 90% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five trading days following the delivery of the advance request and Haverstock will deliver us the amount of the advance request.

Upon execution of the Equity Facility, we issued to Haverstock (i) 300,000 shares of common stock and a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $250,000 as an implementation fee and (ii) a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $45,000 representing $35,000 of Haverstock legal fees and $10,000 of Haverstock due diligence fees.  The convertible debenture, in the aggregate principal amount of $295,000, matured on March 22, 2013 and bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum.   Haverstock is permitted, at any time after 180 days from June 22, 2012, to convert the outstanding principal on the debenture into common stock at a conversion price per share equal to fifty percent (50%) of the average of the three (3) lowest daily intraday trading prices of the common stock during the 10 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.  Haverstock agreed to restrict its ability to convert the debenture and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by Haverstock and its affiliates after such conversion does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of our common stock.  Haverstock has converted $54,220 of the convertible debenture into common stock, resulting in a balance of $240,780 at May 20, 2013, which is in default.

Common Stock, LLC Financing

On June 22, 2012, we entered into a subscription agreement with Common Stock, LLC, an accredited investor (“CS LLC”), providing for the sale by us to CS LLC of an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $75,000 (the “CS Note”) and providing for a second funding of $35,000 upon the filing of a registration statement on Form S-1 in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Equity Facility by and between us and Haverstock.Proceeds from the CS Note were received by us in July 2012.  The CS Note bears interest at the annual rate of 8% and matured on March 22, 2013.  Accordingly, the note is in default.

CS LLC is permitted to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the CS Note into common stock at a conversion price per share equal to fifty percent (50%) of the average of the three (3) lowest intraday trading prices of the common stock during the 10 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.  CS LLC has converted $4,574 of the convertible debenture into common stock, resulting in a balance of $70,426 at May 20, 2013.

CS LLC agreed to restrict its ability to convert the CS Note and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by CS LLC in the aggregate and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of our common stock.

Ronald W. Moeckel Financing

On August 9, 2012, we issued a promissory note to Ronald W. Moeckel (“Moeckel”) in exchange for proceeds of $25,000.  The promissory note was due on or before November 9, 2012 by payment of $28,750, including interest of $3,750 for the three month term.  The note was sold to Magna and was amended to accrue interest at 12% per annum, to mature on May 8, 2014, and to be convertible at a conversion price per share equal to fifty percent (50%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the common stock during the three days prior to the date of conversion.

In addition, we issued Moeckel a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock (the “Moeckel Warrant”).  The Moeckel Warrant has an exercise price of $0.10 per share of common stock and will be exercisable until October 9, 2015.  The Moeckel Warrant can be exercised on a cashless basis.

Stephen K. and Nancy B. Rush Financing

On October 8, 2012, we issued a promissory note to Stephen K. and Nancy B. Rush (the “Rushes”) in exchange for proceeds of $50,000.  The promissory note was due on or before January 7, 2013 by payment of $62,500, including interest of $12,500 for the three month term. As of May 20, 2013, this note has not been paid and is in default.  In addition, we issued the Rushes a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock (the “Rush Warrant”).  The Rush Warrant has an exercise price of $0.10 per share of common stock and will be exercisable until October 8, 2015.  The Rush Warrant can be exercised on a cashless basis.

Ironridge Debt Settlement

In March 2012, we entered into an Order resolving a lawsuit with Ironridge relating to $1,388,407 in Accounts Payable that Ironridge purchased from various creditors of ours.  The Order provided for the issuance by us of 1,015,000 shares of common stock as the Initial Shares to Ironridge in settlement of the Accounts Payable.  The Order also provides for an adjustment in the total number of shares which may be issuable to Ironridge based on a Calculation Period for the transaction, defined as that number of consecutive trading days following the Issuance Date required for aggregate trading volume of our common stock to exceed $4.2 million. Pursuant to the Order, Ironridge will retain 100,000 shares of our common stock as a fee, plus $1,388,407 with an aggregate value equal to (a) the sum of the Accounts Payable plus reasonable attorney fees through the end of the Calculation Period, (b) divided by 70% of the VWAP of the common stock over the length of the Calculation Period, as reported by Bloomberg, not to exceed the arithmetic average of the individual daily VWAPs of any five trading days during the Calculation Period.  In connection with preparing the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2012, we determined that the Calculation Period ended during the three months ended December 31, 2012 and calculated that the Final Amount to be issued under the Order is 42,814,554 shares of common stock.  As of April 5, 2013, we had issued all of the shares that we believe were due under the Order.  However, between April 9, 2013 and May 6, 2013, the Company authorized the issuance of an additional 60,310,466 shares of the Company’s common stock to Ironridge.  Management believes the requests delivered to the Company by Ironridge were in error and resulted in an issuance of common stock in excess of the Company’s obligation under the Order. The Company has had initial discussions with Ironridge regarding the return of the additional shares that were issued in error, but Ironridge has refused.   We and Ironridge have different interpretations regarding several provisions of the Order used to determine the number of shares issuable.  At this time, we are considering all our available legal and equitable options in this matter. 

Pursuant to the Order, for every 420,000 shares of our common stock that trade during the “ Calculation Period”, or if at any time during the Calculation Period a daily VWAP is below 90% of the closing price on the day before the Issuance Date, we were to immediately issue additional shares (each, an "Additional Issuance"). At the end of the Calculation Period, (a) if the sum of the Initial Shares and any Additional Issuance is less than the Final Amount, we were to issue additional shares to Ironridge, up to the Final Amount, and (b) if the sum of the Initial Shares and any Additional Issuance is greater than the Final Amount, Ironridge was to promptly return any remaining shares to us and our transfer agent for cancellation.  However, the Order provides that under no circumstances shall we issue to Ironridge a number of shares of common stock in connection with the settlement of claims which, when aggregated with all shares of common stock then owned or beneficially owned or controlled by Ironridge and its affiliates, at any one time exceed 9.99% of the total number of shares of our common stock then issued and outstanding.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations.  The list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies.  In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management's judgment in their application.  The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.  For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see the Notes to the December 31, 2012 Financial Statements.  Note that our preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Stock-based Compensation

We calculate the fair value of all share-based payments to employees and non-employee directors, including grants of stock options and stock awards and amortize these fair values to share-based compensation in the statement of operations over the respective vesting periods of the underlying awards.  Share-based compensation related to stock options is computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  We estimate the fair value of stock option awards using assumptions about volatility, expected life of the awards, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield rate. The expected volatility in this model is based on the historical volatility of our common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturities rate for the expected life of the related options. The expected life of the options granted is equal to the average of the vesting period and the term of the option, as allowed for under the simplified method prescribed by Staff Accounting Bulletin 107.  The expected dividend rate takes into account the absence of any historical payments and management’s intention to retain all earnings for future operations and expansion.  We estimate the fair value of restricted stock awards based upon the closing market price of our common stock at the date of grant. We charge the fair value of non-restricted awards to share-based compensation upon grant.

We account for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees and non-employee directors in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.  Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services.  The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to share-based compensation expense and credited to paid-in capital.

Convertible Debt and Derivative Accounting

For convertible debt that is issued with beneficial conversion features, we perform an allocation of the proceeds of the convertible note between the principal amount of the note and the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature.  The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the note, but not in excess of the principal amount of the note.  The discount is amortized over the period from the issuance date to the maturity date or the date of conversion, whichever occurs earlier, as a non-cash charge to the statement of operations.  Upon the issuance of the note, an assessment is made of the beneficial conversion feature to determine whether the beneficial conversion feature should be accounted for as equity or liability.  In the case of a variable conversion price or anti-dilution reset provisions, the features are accounted for as a derivative liability and carried at fair value on the balance sheet.  The fair value of the derivative liability is remeasured each reporting period and the change in fair value to recorded in the statement of operations.

For convertible debentures and various warrants which contain price ratchet anti-dilution protection, we have determined that the convertible debentures and warrants are subject to derivative liability treatment and are required to be accounted for at their fair value.  We estimated the fair value of the price ratchet anti-dilution protection of the convertible debentures and the warrants using multinomial lattice models. Accordingly, the fair value of the price ratchet anti-dilution protection of the convertible debentures and warrants as determined using the lattice models is affected by our stock price on the date of issuance as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, our expected stock price volatility over the term of the debentures and warrants, actual and projected redemptions and conversion price resets.  Expected volatility is based primarily on the historical volatility of other comparable oil and gas companies.

Revenue Recognition

Historically, all revenues have been derived from the sale of produced crude oil and natural gas.  Revenue and related production taxes and lease operating expenses are recorded in the month the product is delivered to the purchaser.  Typically, payment for the revenue, net of related taxes and lease operating expenses, is received from the operator of the well approximately 45 days after the month of delivery.  Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect.  Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to an allowance based on its assessment of the collectability of the receivable.  

42

Income Taxes

Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable and deferred taxes.  Deferred taxes are provided on differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements and tax operating loss carryforwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled.  As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including oil and gas properties, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to estimated future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives.  If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.  Impairment of long-lived assets is assessed at the lowest levels for which there are identifiable cash flows that are independent of other groups of assets.  The impairment of long-lived assets requires judgments and estimates.  If circumstances change, such estimates could also change.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not required under Regulation S-K for “smaller reporting companies.”

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

43

Based onour evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses described below, as of March 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The material weaknesses, which relate to internal control over financial reporting, that were identified are:

a)	We did not have sufficient personnel in our accounting and financial reporting functions. As a result, we were not able to achieve adequate segregation of duties and were not able to provide for adequate review of the financial statements. This control deficiency, which is pervasive in nature, results in a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis;
b)	We did not maintain sufficient personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge, experience, and training in the application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) commensurate with our complexity and our financial accounting and reporting requirements. This control deficiency is pervasive in nature. Further, there is a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the financial statements including disclosures will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis as a result;
c)	We lack a system to administratively review, audit or verify the reporting by Bayshore of revenues and expenditures in connection with the oil and gas properties on which we conduct activities. Similarly, we have not obtained units of production or similar third-party purchaser confirmation of the details of our oil and gas production. There is a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis without the ability to independently review and verify the results of our revenue and expenses related to our operations, and
d)	We lack a system to review agreements that are executed and actions taken by the Company to determine if such events trigger obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission to disclose such events on a Current Report on Form 8-K.There have been numerous instances of events that have occurred that were required to be filed on a Form 8-K that were either not timely reported on a Form 8-K or were reported as part of our annual report on Form 10-K or quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.Many of these events are not determined until our outside legal and accounting personnel are involved in the preparation and review of the annual or quarterly reports.

The material weaknesses identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any other related financial disclosure, and management does not believe that the material weaknesses had any effect on the accuracy of our financial statements for the current reporting period.

We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will create a segregation of duties consistent with control objectives and will look to increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function by the end of fiscal 2013 to resolve non-routine or complex accounting matters. In addition, when funds are available to us, which we expect to occur by the end of fiscal 2013, we will take the following action to enhance our internal controls: Hiring additional knowledgeable personnel with technical accounting expertise to further support our current accounting personnel, which management estimates will cost approximately $75,000 per annum. We have in the past, and will continue to engage outside consultants in the future as necessary in order to ensure proper treatment of non-routine or complex accounting matters.

44

Management believes that hiring additional knowledgeable personnel with technical accounting expertise will remedy the following material weaknesses: (A) lack of sufficient personnel in our accounting and financial reporting functions to achieve adequate segregation of duties; and (B) insufficient personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge, experience, and training in the application of U.S. GAAP commensurate with our complexity and our financial accounting and reporting requirements.

Management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge with the non-routine or technical issues we have encountered in the past will result in both proper recording of these transactions and a much more knowledgeable finance department as a whole. Due to the fact that our accounting staff consists of a Chief Financial Officer working with other members of management, additional personnel will also ensure the proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support us if personnel turnover issues within the department occur. We believe this will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues we may encounter in the future.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except as disclosed below, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Montecito Offshore Litigation

On or about December 5, 2011, Montecito Offshore, LLC filed a lawsuit in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans of the State of Louisiana against the Company by filing a Petition to Rescind Sale.  The case is Montecito Offshore, LLC v. Paxton Energy, Inc. and Paxacq, Inc., Case No. 2011-12640.  In this action, the plaintiff seeks to rescind the asset sale transaction, whereby Montecito sold us interests in certain oil and gas leases in exchange for a $500,000 promissory note and 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the case on the grounds that plaintiff’s petition states no cause of action for contractual rescission of the asset sale transaction. The Company has entered into settlement discussions, but if no acceptable resolution can be reached, it intends to vigorously defend against this action.

45

Black Cat Settlement Agreement

On January 25, 2013, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release of Claims (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Mr. Anthony Mason and Black Cat. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Black Cat and/or Mr. Mason $125,000 in 10 equal payments, with the first payment due March 11, 2013 and the remaining payments every 30 days thereafter until paid in full. The Company has paid $10,000 to Mr. Mason resulting in a remaining liability of $115,000 at March 31, 2013.  In the event that the Company obtains a credit facility in an amount equal to or greater than $3,500,000, the full amount of the settlement payment then outstanding will become immediately due and payable. In addition, the Company agreed to transfer to Black Cat all title and interest the Company owned in the I-1 well, Mustang Island 818-L lease and other assets acquired from Black Cat pursuant to the Black Cat Agreement. Furthermore, all production from the I-1 well, from the date the well went online was transferred to Black Cat in connection with the Settlement Agreement.  In return, Black Cat agreed to return to the Company for cancellation the 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock it received in connection with the Black Cat Agreement and to release the Company from all of its claims, which included the balance of the promissory note and accrued interest, unpaid compensation and other miscellaneous amounts . Further, in connection with the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Mason agreed to resign as President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

In May 2011, we completed a financing which generated aggregate gross cash proceeds of $2,550,000 through the sale of the convertible secured debentures and common stock purchase warrants.  Pursuant to the security agreement, between ourselves and the investors, we granted the investors a first priority lien on all assets acquired from Montecito pursuant to the Montecito Agreement.  The convertible debentures matured in May 2012 and bear interest at 9% per annum and are convertible at the holder’s option at any time into common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share. The convertible debentures will automatically be redeemed with a 30% premium upon a Change of Control or Listing Event (each as defined in the Note). Interest on the convertible debentures is payable quarterly in arrears in cash. The convertible debentures contain price ratchet anti-dilution protection. In addition the conversion price shall be adjusted if the conversion price of securities in a subsequent offering by us is adjusted pursuant to a make good provision. The shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures are entitled to piggyback registration rights. Debentures totaling $70,424 have been converted into common stock. As of May 20, 2013, all of the debentures have matured.  We are in default under the convertible debentures because we have not (i) repaid the debentures in the aggregate principal face amount of $2,479,576 or (ii) made the interest payments that were due starting on July 1, 2011 and continuing through the maturity dates.  As of March 31, 2013, the total interest that is due is $783,839 with interest continuing to accrue at the default interest rate of 18% per annum.  Furthermore, as a result of the conversions of notes payable between February and May 2012, the conversion price of the debentures has been reset to $0.00038 per share, which would result in the issuance of approximately 6.5 billion shares of common stock upon conversion of the principal amount, not including accrued interest.

On May 6, 2011, in connection with our acquisition of certain assets from Montecito, we issued Montecito a subordinated promissory note in the amount of $500,000.  The subordinated promissory note is subordinated to the secured convertible notes we issued in the private placement that closed on May 5, 2011.  The Montecito Note was due in August 2011 and accrued interest at the rate of 9% per annum until maturity and accrues interest at the highest legal rate allowed since maturity since the Montecito Note is in default for failure to pay principal and interest when due.

On April 19, 2012, we issued a secured promissory note in the principal face amount of $100,000 in exchange for $100,000 from WH LLC.  We agreed to repay $125,000 on June 18, 2012, plus interest at the rate of 11% per annum.  On February 28, 2013, WH LLC sold $50,000 of this note to Prolific and $37,500 of the secured promissory note to GEL, and on May 8, 2013 WH LLC sold $25,000 of this note to Magna, leaving a balance of $12,500 which is in default.

Black Cat Purchase and Sale Agreement

On March 9, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets from Black Cat Exploration & Production LLC (“Black Cat”) pursuant to an amended Purchase and Sale Agreement for Oil & Gas Properties and Related Assets (the “Black Cat Agreement”).  The Company acquired a 2% override interest in the Mustang Island 818-L lease, covering 1,400 acres in the Gulf of Mexico, with a 10.35% carried interest in the recently drilled I-1 well, located on the lease. The Company paid $175,000 in cash, issued a note for $1,075,000 and agreed to issue 4,500,000 shares of common stock, of which 2,250,000 shares were issued to Black Cat at the time of closing and the remaining 2,250,000 shares were issued on August 30, 2012 pursuant to when the well was connected to the main offshore pipeline of the Six Pigs Processing facility.  The leasehold interest was capitalized in the amount of $2,305,987, representing $1,250,000 in cash and promissory note, $855,000 for the initial common stock issued in March 2012 (based on a closing price of $0.38 per share on the closing date), $157,500 for the second issuance of common stock in August 2012 (based on the most recent closing price of $0.07 per share at the time of connecting the well), and $43,487 in acquisition and well costs.  

On November 1, 2012, the Company sold its 2% overriding royalty interest in the Mustang Island 818-L lease for $500,000.  The sale reduced the carrying cost of the lease and well to $1,805,987.  Proceeds from the sale were used to reduce the principal balance of the junior secured promissory note with Black Cat by $200,000 and the remaining $300,000 was used by the Company for working capital purposes.

On January 25, 2013, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release of Claims (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Mr. Anthony Mason and Black Cat. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Black Cat and/or Mr. Mason $125,000 in 10 equal payments, with the first payment due March 11, 2013 and the remaining payments every 30 days thereafter until paid in full. The Company has paid $10,000 to Mr. Mason resulting in a remaining liability of $115,000 at March 31, 2013.  In the event that the Company obtains a credit facility in an amount equal to or greater than $3,500,000, the full amount of the settlement payment then outstanding will become immediately due and payable. In addition, the Company agreed to transfer to Black Cat all title and interest the Company owned in the I-1 well, Mustang Island 818-L lease and other assets acquired from Black Cat pursuant to the Black Cat Agreement. Furthermore, all production from the I-1 well, from the date the well went online was transferred to Black Cat in connection with the Settlement Agreement.  In return, Black Cat agreed to return to the Company for cancellation the 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock it received in connection with the Black Cat Agreement and to release the Company from all of its claims, which included the balance of the promissory note and accrued interest, unpaid compensation and other miscellaneous amounts . Further, in connection with the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Mason agreed to resign as President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company.

In connection with its accounting for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company evaluated the accounting effects of the Settlement Agreement and concluded that estimated impairment in the approximate amount of $750,000 should be recorded as of December 31, 2012 by further reducing the carrying cost of the properties to $1,055,987.  In January 2013, the Company accounted for the Settlement Agreement by removing the carrying value of the property; removed the released liabilities for the promissory note in the amount of $850,000; removed current liabilities for amounts owed to Mr. Mason, Black Cat, and others for accrued interest, accrued compensation, lease operating expenses, and other expenses in the aggregate amount of $265,364; recorded the fair value of the common stock returned to the Company for cancelation in the amount of $54,000; recorded a liability to Mr. Mason of $125,000; and recognized additional impairment expense of $11,623.

Montecito Asset Sale Agreement

On May 6, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of certain assets pursuant to an Asset Sale Agreement (the Montecito Agreement) with Montecito Offshore, L.L.C. (Montecito).   The assets consist of certain oil and gas leases located in the Vermillion 179 tract, which is in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico offshore from Louisiana.  Pursuant to the terms of the Montecito Agreement, as amended, Montecito agreed to sell the Company a 70% leasehold working interest, with a net revenue interest of 51.975%, of certain oil and gas leases owned by Montecito, for $1,500,000 in cash, a subordinated promissory note in the amount of $500,000, and 1,500,000 shares of common stock.  The leasehold interest has been capitalized in the amount of $5,698,563, representing $2,000,000 in cash and promissory note, $3,675,000 for the common stock based on a closing price of $2.45 per share on the closing date, and $23,563 in acquisition costs.  No drilling or production has commenced as of March 31, 2013. Consequently, the oil and gas properties have not been subjected to amortization of the full cost pool.

In December 2011, Montecito filed a lawsuit in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans of the State of Louisiana against the Company by filing a Petition to Rescind Sale.  In this action, Montecito is seeking to rescind the asset sale transaction, as described in the previous paragraph.  Currently, depositions are scheduled to begin in May 2013 and there has been no trial date set as of yet.  The Company has entered into settlement discussions, but if no acceptable resolution can be reached, it intends to vigorously defend itself against the lawsuit.

Texas Oil and Gas Operations

Commencing in the year ended December 31, 2005 and continuing into the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company participated in oil and gas exploration and development activities in Texas, principally with Bayshore Exploration L.L.C. (Bayshore) in La Salle County, Texas.  During 2005, the Company acquired from Bayshore a 31.75% working interest (23.8125% net revenue interest) in the Cooke Ranch prospect, consisting of approximately 8,883 acres.  During 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Bayshore to acquire a 50% working interest in approximately 3,200 acres of oil and gas leases and oil and gas lease options located in La Salle County, Texas, for the purpose of oil and gas exploration and production.  The Company was also granted an option to increase its working interest in the leases to 75% within 90 days of the date of the agreement, on the same terms and conditions.  On June 13, 2006, the Company exercised its option to increase its working interest to 75% (56.25% net revenue interest). To date, the Company has acquired a 75% working interest in approximately 2,268 acres.  Additionally during 2006, the Company entered into a Joint Exploration Agreement with Bayshore covering the 8,883 acres of the Cooke Ranch prospect. The Exploration Agreement provides for the Company and Bayshore to join together for the purpose of drilling exploratory wells and performing studies of the Cooke Ranch prospect acreage and acquiring additional prospective oil and gas properties on which to explore for, develop, and produce oil and gas.  During 2008, Bayshore entered into a lease of 220 acres in LaSalle County, Texas within the area of mutual interest covered by the exploration agreement.  The Company exercised its right to purchase its proportionate share (31.75%) of that lease and paid Bayshore for the Company’s share of the lease bonus and related expenses.  In connection with that new lease, the Company entered into a participation in a farm out whereby the Company retained approximately a 4% fully carried working interest in the Cartwright No. 3 well drilled on the new lease by third parties.

During the period of time commencing with the year ended December 31, 2005 and continuing into the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company participated with Bayshore in the drilling of ten wells and participated with another entity in the drilling of a well in another county in Texas.  Three of these wells were determined to be dry and were plugged and abandoned.  The Company has sold all or part of its interests in two wells to Bayshore in order to reduce its indebtedness to Bayshore.  At March 31, 2013, the Company has remaining interests in 6 six wells in Texas with working interests ranging from 4.0% to 31.75%.  Management of the Company has the understanding that the six wells are currently shut in and not producing.  At March 31, 2013, given that the Company is still considered to be in the exploration stage, a determination has not been made about the extent of oil reserves that should be classified as proved reserves.  Consequently, the oil and gas properties have not been subjected to amortization of the full cost pool.

Each year, the management of the Company has performed evaluations of its producing oil and gas properties to determine whether oil and gas properties are impaired.  Management has also considered the market value of its nonproducing properties.  During 2006, 2008, 2009, and 2012, the Company determined that capitalized costs for wells drilled, for leasehold interests, and other related costs were in excess of the present value of estimated future cash flows from those properties.  As a result, the Company recognized impairment losses in the total amount of $4,335,078 during those years, including reducing the carrying value of wells drilled to zero and the carrying value of leasehold interests to $100,000.  

Summary of Oil and Gas Properties

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, oil and gas properties, net of impairment losses recognized, consist of the following:

Recently Issued Accounting Statements

Recently Issued Accounting Statements – In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance on the periodic testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. This updated guidance will allow companies the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test required under current accounting standards. This guidance is applicable for reporting periods beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted, and was applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013. The Company currently does not have any indefinite-life intangible assets other than goodwill and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Under the amendments in this update, an entity is required to report, in one place, information about reclassifications out of accumulated OCI and to report changes in its accumulated OCI balances. For significant items reclassified out of accumulated OCI to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period, reporting is required about the effect of the reclassifications on the respective line items in the statement where net income or loss is presented. For items that are not reclassified to net income or loss in their entirety in the same reporting period, a cross reference to other disclosures currently required under GAAP is required in the notes to the entity’s consolidated financial statements. This guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, and is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013. The Company does not have accumulated OCI and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Convertible Debentures and Related Warrants

Convertible Debenures and Related Warrants

As described in Notes 7 and 10 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company issued convertible debentures and various warrants which contain price ratchet anti-dilution protection.  The Company has determined that these anti-dilution reset provisions of the convertible debentures and these warrants are subject to derivative liability treatment and are required to be accounted for at fair value.  Upon issuance, the Company determined the aggregate fair value of the embedded derivative was $2,833,829.  The Company has determined the aggregate fair value of the embedded derivative was $5,049,996 at March 31, 2013 and $5,460,914 at December 31, 2012.  The Company has recorded a gain on the change in the derivative liability of $228,098 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and recorded a gain on the change in the derivative liability of $1,205,129 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

The Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivative using multinomial lattice models. Accordingly, the fair value of the embedded derivative as determined using the lattice model is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected stock price volatility over the term of the debentures and warrants, actual and projected redemptions and conversion price resets.  Expected volatility is based primarily on the historical volatility of other comparable oil and gas companies.  Volatility used in the calculation ranged from a low of 46% in year one to a high of 110% in year five.  Management estimated that the probability of the debentures being redeemed at 0% initially, increasing by 1% per month thereafter to a maximum of 20%.

Convertible Promissory Notes

As described above in Notes 5 and 6 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has issued convertible promissory notes to unaffiliated entities and individuals which contain variable conversion prices and in some cases, anti-dilution reset provisions, which are treated as embedded derivatives under generally accepted accounting principles and are required to be accounted for at fair value.  The Company has estimated the fair value of these beneficial conversion features using multinomial lattice models. Accordingly, the fair value of the beneficial conversion features as determined using the lattice models is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the notes, actual and projected redemptions and conversion price resets.  Expected volatility is based primarily on the historical volatility of other comparable oil and gas companies.  Volatility used in the calculation ranged from a low of 46% in year one to a high of 110% in year five.  Management estimated that the probability of the debentures being redeemed at 0% initially, increasing by 1% per month thereafter to a maximum of 20%. 

The fair value of the embedded derivatives for unconverted notes was estimated to be $2,217,420 and $2,334,421 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The Company recognized a loss from the change in fair value of these derivative liabilities of $64,129 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and recognized a loss from the change in fair value of these derivative liabilities of $18,893 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Note 1 - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1 - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization – Paxton Energy, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 30, 2004.  During August 2004, shareholder control of the Company was transferred, a new board of directors was elected and new officers were appointed.  These officers and directors managed the Company until March 17, 2010, at which time, the existing members of the Company’s board of directors resigned, new members were appointed to the board of directors, and managerial control of the Company was transferred to new management.  The new board of directors immediately commenced, among other things, the placement of unsecured convertible promissory notes to raise funds for working capital and held a meeting of stockholders on June 29, 2010, at which the stockholders approved 1) a 1-for-3 reverse common stock split, 2) a second reverse stock split of approximately 1 share for 2.4 shares of common stock, 3) the amendment of the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the Company’s authorized capital from 100 million to 500 million shares of common stock and from 5 million to 10 million shares of preferred stock, and 4) the adoption of the 2010 Stock Option Plan.  On January 27, 2012, Paxton Energy, Inc. changed its name to Worthington Energy, Inc. (the “Company”).  The Company held its annual meeting of stockholders on October 12, 2012, at which the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal a 1-for-10 reverse common stock split.  All references in these condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes to numbers of shares of common stock, prices per share of common stock, and weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding prior to the reverse stock splits have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock splits on a retroactive basis for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.  As more fully disclosed in Note 15 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, on April 17, 2013, the Company designated 1,000,000 one million shares of preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock; sold one million shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Charles Volk, the Company’s chief executive officer; and pursuant to an Action by Written Consent of the Stockholders of the Company, the Company’s certificate of incorporation was to increase the Company’s authorized common stock from 500 million to 1.49 billion shares of common stock.  On May 8, 2013, pursuant to an Action by Written Consent of the Stockholders of the Company, the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended again to increase the Company’s authorized common stock from 1.49 billion to 2.49 billion shares of common stock.

Nature of Operations – As further described in Note 2 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company commenced acquiring working interests in oil and gas properties in June 2005.  The Company owns oil and gas properties in the Cooke Ranch prospect in LaSalle County, Texas, where the Company has been engaged primarily as a joint interest owner with Bayshore Exploration L.L.C. in the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas properties and the production and sale of oil and gas.  And in March 2012, the Company acquired certain assets from Black Cat Exploration & Production LLC consisting of a 2% override interest in the Mustang Island 818-L lease, covering 1,400 acres in the Gulf of Mexico, with a 10.35% carried interest in the recently drilled I-1 well, located on the lease.  However, as further described in Note 2 to these consolidated financial statements, the Company sold the 2% override interest in these properties in November 2012 and entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release of claims in January 2013, which resulted in, among other things, the transfer of the Company’s remaining interest in the Mustang Island 818-L lease and I-1 well back to Black Cat Exploration & Production LLC.

The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage due to the lack of significant revenues.  

Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012, and for the period from June 30, 2004 (date of inception) through December 31, 2012, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2013, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and for the period from June 30, 2004 (date of inception), through March 31, 2013.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

Business Condition – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has not had significant revenue and is still considered to be in the exploration stage.  The Company incurred losses of $1,132,113 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and $13,255,095 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The Company also used cash of $296,960 and $1,348,778 in its operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, respectively.  Through March 31, 2013, the Company has accumulated a deficit during the exploration stage of $33,522,484.  At March 31, 2013, the Company has a working capital deficit of $5,954,084 including current liabilities of $5,964,032.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company is currently seeking debt and equity financing to fund potential acquisitions and other expenditures, although it does not have any contracts or commitments for either at this time. The Company will have to raise additional funds to continue operations and, while it has been successful in doing so in the past, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary additional funds to continue operations and the attainment of profitable operations.  The Company hopes that working capital will become available via financing activities currently contemplated with regards to VM 179.  In January 2013, the Company received a preliminary commitment letter from an interested funding group for an $8,500,000 secured loan.  The proposed term of the loan is $3,500,000 initially and the balance to be drawn down within 90 days thereafter.  The loan would have a three year repayment schedule based on a 48 month amortization, with an annual interest rate of 14.95%.  The lender would be entitled to overriding interests in all oil and gas production and certain other customary fees and expenses.  The loan is subject to final approval of the lender’s credit committee and numerous conditions to closing, including, among others, additional equity from farm-in partners or other shareholders and a third-party review and verification of the reserves.  The Company can provide no assurances that this loan will be completed or that it can obtain other working capital on terms acceptable to it, if at all. 

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary additional funds to continue operations and to attain profitable operations.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share – Basic loss per common share amounts are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.  Diluted loss per share amounts are computed assuming the issuance of common stock for potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. All outstanding stock options, warrants, stock awards, convertible promissory notes, and other obligations to be satisfied with the issuance of common stock are currently antidilutive and have been excluded from the diluted loss per share calculations.  None of the options, warrants, and stock awards to acquire 13,989,695 shares of common stock; the promissory notes and debentures convertible into 1,394,970,625 shares of common stock; shares of common stock issuable under the Equity Investment Agreement with La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. of 3,152,727 shares; or the 6,689,554 shares issuable to Ironridge under the arrangement to settle liabilities were included in the computation of diluted loss per share at March 31, 2013.  None of the options, warrants, and stock awards to acquire 4,834,695 shares of common stock; the promissory notes and debentures convertible into 17,750,874 shares of common stock; or the 4,310,815 estimated shares issuable to Ironridge under the arrangement to settle liabilities were included in the computation of diluted loss per share at March 31, 2012.  

Fair Values of Financial Instruments – The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for accounts payable, payable to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd., and payable to former officer approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.  The carrying amounts reported for unsecured convertible promissory notes payable, secured notes payable, and convertible debentures approximate fair value because the underlying instruments are at interest rates which approximate current market rates.  The fair value of derivative liabilities are estimated based on the method disclosed in Note 8 to these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Statements – In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance on the periodic testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. This updated guidance will allow companies the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test required under current accounting standards. This guidance is applicable for reporting periods beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted, and was applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013. The Company currently does not have any indefinite-life intangible assets other than goodwill and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Under the amendments in this update, an entity is required to report, in one place, information about reclassifications out of accumulated OCI and to report changes in its accumulated OCI balances. For significant items reclassified out of accumulated OCI to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period, reporting is required about the effect of the reclassifications on the respective line items in the statement where net income or loss is presented. For items that are not reclassified to net income or loss in their entirety in the same reporting period, a cross reference to other disclosures currently required under GAAP is required in the notes to the entity’s consolidated financial statements. This guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, and is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013. The Company does not have accumulated OCI and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

During May, the Company received $10,000 under an unsecured note arrangement with GEL.  The unsecured convertible promissory notes accrue interest at 6% per annum.  The principal and unpaid accrued interest are due July 24, 2013.  Amounts due under the note are convertible until maturity at a variable conversion price equal to 70% of the lowest closing bid price from the five trading days prior to the date of the conversion notice.

On May 13, 2013, Magna converted $15,000 of the unsecured convertible promissory note into 30,000,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.0005 per share. 

Certain of these conversions and issuances of common stock triggered the reset of the conversion price of the convertible debentures in the original amount of $2,550,000 and the reset of the exercise price of related warrants to purchase 2,581,500 shares of common stock pursuant to the price ratchet anti-dilution protection provisions of these agreements.  See Notes 7 and 10 for further disclosure of these provisions.  As of May 20, 2013, the reset conversion price of the debentures and exercise price of the related warrants is $0.00038 per share based on the lowest of the conversion prices.

The Company has had initial discussions with Ironridge regarding the return of the additional shares that were issued in error, but Ironridge has refused.   The Company and Ironridge have different interpretations regarding several provisions of the Order used to determine the number of shares issuable.  At this time, the Company is considering all of its available legal and equitable options in this matter.

On April 5, 2013, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreements with a trust and sold 2,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.005 per share.  Proceeds from the sale were $10,000.

Nature of Operations

Nature of Operations – As further described in Note 2 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company commenced acquiring working interests in oil and gas properties in June 2005.  The Company owns oil and gas properties in the Cooke Ranch prospect in LaSalle County, Texas, where the Company has been engaged primarily as a joint interest owner with Bayshore Exploration L.L.C. in the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas properties and the production and sale of oil and gas.  And in March 2012, the Company acquired certain assets from Black Cat Exploration & Production LLC consisting of a 2% override interest in the Mustang Island 818-L lease, covering 1,400 acres in the Gulf of Mexico, with a 10.35% carried interest in the recently drilled I-1 well, located on the lease.  However, as further described in Note 2 to these consolidated financial statements, the Company sold the 2% override interest in these properties in November 2012 and entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release of claims in January 2013, which resulted in, among other things, the transfer of the Company’s remaining interest in the Mustang Island 818-L lease and I-1 well back to Black Cat Exploration & Production LLC.

The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage due to the lack of significant revenues.

Stock Options and Compensation-Based Warrants

On June 29, 2010, the stockholders of the Company approved the adoption of the 2010 Stock Option Plan.  The Plan provides for the granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options to employees and consultants of the Company.  Generally, options granted under the plan may not have a term in excess of ten years.  Upon adoption, the Plan reserved 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance there under.

Generally accepted accounting principles for stock options and compensation-based warrants require the recognition of the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements, is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award, and requires the compensation expense to be recognized over the period during which an employee or other service provider is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period).  No income tax benefit has been recognized for share-based compensation arrangements and no compensation cost has been capitalized in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

A summary of stock option and compensation-based warrant activity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 is presented below:

				Weighted

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company granted options and issued compensation-based warrants to certain consultants and individuals to acquire an aggregate of 1,900,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.05 to $0.10 per share.  All of these options and compensation-based warrants vested immediately.  

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company granted options and issued compensation-based warrants certain consultants to acquire an aggregate of 2,950,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.15 to $0.25 per share.  Of these options and compensation-based warrants, 2,350,000 vested immediately and 600,000 vest over twelve months. 

The fair value of these stock options and compensation-based warrants was estimated on the date of grant or issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  The weighted-average fair value of the stock options granted and compensation based warrants issued during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $0.0201 per share.  The weighted-average assumptions used for the options granted and compensation-based warrants issued during the three months ended March 31, 2013 were risk-free interest rate of 0.27%, volatility of 229%, expected life of 2.0 years, and dividend yield of zero.  The weighted-average fair value of the stock options granted and compensation based warrants issued during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $0.0281 per share.  The weighted-average assumptions used for the options granted and compensation-based warrants issued during the three months ended March 31, 2012 were risk-free interest rate of 0.31%, volatility of 219%, expected life of 2.0 years, and dividend yield of zero. 

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company reported compensation expense related to stock options, compensation-based warrants, and stock awards of $52,788 and $78,004, respectively.  As of March 31, 2013, there was approximately $11,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and  compensation-based warrants that will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 0.2 years.  The intrinsic values at March 31, 2013 are based on a closing price of $0.0065 per share.

Note 4 - Payable To Ironridge Global Iv, Ltd.

Note 4 – Payable to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd.

In March 2012, Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. (“Ironridge”) filed a complaint against the Company for the payment of $1,388,407 in outstanding accounts payable, accrued compensation, accrued interest, and notes payable of the Company (the “Claim Amount”) that Ironridge had purchased from various creditors of the Company.  The lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles Central District, and the case was Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. v. Worthington Energy, Inc., Case No. BC 480184.  On March 22, 2012, the court approved an Order for Approval of Stipulation for Settlement of Claims (the "Order").

The Order provided for the immediate issuance by the Company of 1,015,000 shares of common stock (the “Initial Shares”) to Ironridge towards settlement of the Claim Amount.  The Order also provided for an adjustment in the total number of shares which may be issuable to Ironridge based on a calculation period for the transaction, defined as that number of consecutive trading days following the date on which the Initial Shares were issued (the "Issuance Date") required for the aggregate trading volume of the common stock, as reported by Bloomberg LP, to exceed $4.2 million (the "Calculation Period"). Pursuant to the Order, Ironridge would retain 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock as a fee, plus that number of shares (the "Final Amount") with an aggregate value equal to (a) the $1,358,135 plus reasonable attorney fees through the end of the Calculation Period, (b) divided by 70% of the following: the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Common Stock over the length of the Calculation Period, as reported by Bloomberg, not to exceed the arithmetic average of the individual daily VWAPs of any five trading days during the Calculation Period.  The Company has calculated that the Calculation Period ended during the three months ended December 31, 2012 and calculated that the Final Amount to be issued under the Order is 42,814,554 shares of common stock.  Additionally, during the three months ended December 31, 2012 when the Final Amount was determined, the Company calculated the fair value of the original liability to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd to be $1,981,312, that amount which when discounted to 70% of the VWAP and multiplied by the Final Amount, would equal $1,358,135 plus reasonable attorney fees.  In so doing, the Company recognized an expense for the excess of the fair value of the resultant liability to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. in excess of the original carrying amount of the liabilities acquired by Ironridge and adjusted the liability to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. for the fair value adjustment. 

Pursuant to the Order, for every 420,000 shares of the Company's common stock that traded during the Calculation Period, or if at any time during the Calculation Period a daily VWAP is below 90% of the closing price on the day before the Issuance Date, the Company was to immediately issue additional shares (each, an "Additional Issuance"), subject to the limitation in the paragraph below. Since the issuance of the Initial Shares, the Company has issued an additional 9,710,000 shares of common stock during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 plus an additional 25,500,000 shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2013.  At the end of the Calculation Period, (a) if the sum of the Initial Shares and any Additional Issuance is less than the Final Amount, the Company shall immediately issue additional shares to Ironridge, up to the Final Amount, and (b) if the sum of the Initial Shares and any Additional Issuance is greater than the Final Amount, Ironridge shall promptly return any remaining shares to the Company and its transfer agent for cancellation.  However, the Order also provides that under no circumstances shall the Company issue to Ironridge a number of shares of common stock in connection with the settlement of claims which, when aggregated with all shares of common stock then owned or beneficially owned or controlled by Ironridge and its affiliates, at any one time exceed 9.99% of the total number of shares of common stock of the Company then issued and outstanding.

The total issuances of 36,225,000 have been accounted for as 1) the issuance of 100,000 shares for fees in connection with the settlement transaction and 2) the issuance of 36,125,000 shares as part of the Final Amount and issued in settlement of the fair value of the liability to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd.  The fee shares were valued at the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $0.40 per share on March 22, 2012, or $40,000, and recorded as share-based compensation for services.  The issuance of 36,125,000 shares in settlement of the fair value of the liability to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. has been accounted for as the reduction of a proportionate amount of the calculated fair value of the original liability to Ironridge, or $491,689 through December 31, 2012 and $1,671,742 through March 31, 2013.  Accordingly, the amount of the liability to Ironridge reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet is $1,489,623 at December 31, 2012 and $309,570 at March 31, 2013.

Note 8 - Derivative Liabilities

Convertible Debenures and Related Warrants

As described in Notes 7 and 10 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company issued convertible debentures and various warrants which contain price ratchet anti-dilution protection.  The Company has determined that these anti-dilution reset provisions of the convertible debentures and these warrants are subject to derivative liability treatment and are required to be accounted for at fair value.  Upon issuance, the Company determined the aggregate fair value of the embedded derivative was $2,833,829.  The Company has determined the aggregate fair value of the embedded derivative was $5,049,996 at March 31, 2013 and $5,460,914 at December 31, 2012.  The Company has recorded a gain on the change in the derivative liability of $228,098 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and recorded a gain on the change in the derivative liability of $1,205,129 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

The Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivative using multinomial lattice models. Accordingly, the fair value of the embedded derivative as determined using the lattice model is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected stock price volatility over the term of the debentures and warrants, actual and projected redemptions and conversion price resets.  Expected volatility is based primarily on the historical volatility of other comparable oil and gas companies.  Volatility used in the calculation ranged from a low of 46% in year one to a high of 110% in year five.  Management estimated that the probability of the debentures being redeemed at 0% initially, increasing by 1% per month thereafter to a maximum of 20%. 

Convertible Promissory Notes

As described above in Notes 5 and 6 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has issued convertible promissory notes to unaffiliated entities and individuals which contain variable conversion prices and in some cases, anti-dilution reset provisions, which are treated as embedded derivatives under generally accepted accounting principles and are required to be accounted for at fair value.  The Company has estimated the fair value of these beneficial conversion features using multinomial lattice models. Accordingly, the fair value of the beneficial conversion features as determined using the lattice models is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the notes, actual and projected redemptions and conversion price resets.  Expected volatility is based primarily on the historical volatility of other comparable oil and gas companies.  Volatility used in the calculation ranged from a low of 46% in year one to a high of 110% in year five.  Management estimated that the probability of the debentures being redeemed at 0% initially, increasing by 1% per month thereafter to a maximum of 20%. 

The fair value of the embedded derivatives for unconverted notes was estimated to be $2,217,420 and $2,334,421 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The Company recognized a loss from the change in fair value of these derivative liabilities of $64,129 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and recognized a loss from the change in fair value of these derivative liabilities of $18,893 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Note 6 - Secured Notes Payable

Black Cat Exploration & Production, LLC

As further described in Note 2 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, on March 9, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets from Black Cat pursuant to the Black Cat Agreement, as amended.  Pursuant to the terms of the Black Cat Agreement the Company issued a junior secured promissory note in the amount of $1,075,000 as partial consideration for the purchase.  $100,000 of the junior secured promissory note was due on May 31, 2012 and the balance was payable at the later of (i) June 25, 2012 or (ii) 30 days after production commenced from the Mustang Island Well, which was deemed to have occurred on August 29, 2012 when the well was connected to the main offshore pipeline of the Six Pigs Processing facility.  The Company paid $25,000 toward the principal of this note during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and paid an additional $200,000 in November 2012, resulting in a balance of $850,000 at December 31, 2012.  The note accrued interest at 11% per annum, was secured by a second lien mortgage on the properties acquired from Black Cat, and was subordinated to the bridge loan note described below.

As more fully described in Note 2 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, on January 25, 2013, the Company and Black Cat entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release of Claims with Mr. Mason and Black Cat which, among other things, released the Company from its obligation to repay this promissory note and related accrued interest.

Montecito Offshore, L.L.C.

As further described in Note 2, on May 6, 2011, the Company acquired a leasehold interest in oil and gas properties from Montecito Offshore, L.L.C. (Montecito).  Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, as amended, the Company issued a subordinated promissory note in the amount of $500,000 as partial consideration for the purchase.  The note is secured by a second lien mortgage, subordinated to the convertible debentures issued in May 2011, as further described in Note 7 to these condensed consolidated financial statements.  The note bears interest at 9% per annum.  The note and unpaid interest were originally due ninety days after the date of the promissory note, but the due date was extended to August 15, 2011.  The note came due on August 15, 2011 and has not been paid.  The Company’s failure to repay the note when due constitutes an event of default under the note.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the note holder has the right to exercise its rights under the security agreement associated with the note.  These rights include, among other things, the right to foreclose on the collateral if necessary.  The Company is exploring alternatives for a partial sale, a farm-in, or the refinancing of the Vermillion 179 tract in order to pay off this note, with accrued interest.

In December 2011, Montecito filed a lawsuit in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans of the State of Louisiana against the Company by filing a Petition to Rescind Sale.  In this action, Montecito is seeking to rescind the asset sale transaction, as described in the previous paragraph.  Currently, depositions are scheduled to begin in May 2013 and there has been no trial date set as of yet.  The Company has entered into settlement discussions, but if no acceptable resolution can be reached, it intends to vigorously defend itself against the lawsuit. 

Bridge Loan Note

On March 6, 2012, the Company received proceeds of $250,000 under a secured bridge loan note.  The Company agreed to pay the note holder $277,500 by the maturity date of May 5, 2012.  The bridge loan note was secured by a deed of trust on certain oil and gas properties acquired from Black Cat as described in Note 2 to these condensed consolidated financial statements.  In the event of default, the note holder was entitled to 80% of the proceeds from the sale of production from the collateral property and the principal amount due under the note was to be increased by $27,500.  This note was not repaid by May 5, 2012 and was in default.  Accordingly, the principal amount of the note was increased by $27,500 to $305,000.  In June 2012, the noteholder sold a 50% interest in this note to an entity related to the noteholder.  As described in Note 5 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, proceeds from an unsecured promissory note were used to reduce the balance by $100,000, resulting in a combined balance on the notes of $205,000.  During the period from July to December 2012, the noteholders sold the remaining principal balance of the notes to GEL ($75,000), Prolific ($40,000), and Magna ($90,000), all as disclosed in Note 5 to these condensed consolidated financial statements. 

Upon issuance, the Company determined the fair value of the warrants was $8,639 and recorded a corresponding discount to the convertible debentures.  The Company also recorded $27,500 as the original issue discount on this note.  The total discount of $36,139 has been amortized over the sixty day term of the note.  The Company recognized interest expense from the amortization of the discount in the amount of $15,058 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

On December 12, 2012, the Company and these noteholders entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release of Claims in order to settle any and all claims that may have existed between the parties.  In connection with this settlement agreement, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $40,000 to settle unpaid accrued interest, certain legal costs, and other unspecified amounts.  The note bears interest at 6% per annum and is due on or before June 12, 2013.  Additionally, the Company issued a warrant to acquire 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable until December 12, 2013.  The exercise price of the warrant varies from a low of $0.05 per share at December 12, 2012 to $0.20 per share at December 12, 2013.

What Happened LLC

On April 19, 2012, the Company issued a secured promissory note in the principal face amount of $100,000 in exchange for $100,000 from What Happened LLC.  Pursuant to a deed of trust, security agreement and financing statement covering as extracted collateral, the Company granted the investor a security interest in all of the Company’s prospective 6% working interest in the Alvey Lease.  The Company agreed to repay $125,000 on June 18, 2012, plus interest at the rate of 11% per annum.  The secured promissory note was not repaid by the due date and is in default.  Proceeds from the secured promissory note were used to pay an earnest money deposit under a Purchase and Sale Agreement with D Bar Leasing.

In lieu of repayment in cash, the investor has the option of converting the obligation represented by the secured promissory note into a 3.75% carried working interest in the Alvey Lease, which the investor was required to advise the Company of whether it intended to exercise such option on or prior to the maturity of the secured note.  Although the period for exercise of the option has expired, the Company and the investor have had discussions to extend the date to exercise such option to any time prior to repayment.  As disclosed in Note 5 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, What Happened LLC has sold $87,500 of the secured promissory note to GEL and Prolific, leaving a balance of $37,500 which is also expected to be sold. Upon completion of the sale of this note, the option will expire and the Company will retain the 3.75% carried working interest in settlement of the earning money deposit.

La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc.

The Company and La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. (La Jolla) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the SPA) dated as of April 30, 2012 (the Closing Date).  Pursuant to the SPA, the Company issued La Jolla a Convertible Debenture in the amount of $200,000 (the Convertible Debenture) and an Equity Investment Agreement (the Equity Investment Agreement) in exchange for $100,000 in cash and a Secured Promissory Note (the Promissory Note) from La Jolla in the amount of $100,000 which is due on demand by the Company at any time after April 30, 2013.  La Jolla was required to prepay the Promissory Note on January 25, 2013 if certain conditions were met at that date.  However, the conditions were not met. 

Pursuant to the Convertible Debenture, the Company agreed to pay La Jolla the principal sum of $200,000 (subject to adjustment as provided in the Convertible Debenture) on April 30, 2014 or such earlier date as required by the Convertible Debenture. Interest on the outstanding Convertible Debenture accrues at a rate of 4.75% per annum. The number of shares into which the Convertible Debenture can be converted is equal to the dollar amount being converted, divided by the quotient of the Conversion Price divided by 10, plus the dollar amount of the Convertible Debenture being converted divided by the Conversion Price.  The Conversion Price is defined as equal to the lesser of (i) $4.50 or (ii) 75% of the three lowest volume weighted average prices (“VWAPs”) during the 21 days prior to the date of the conversion notice submitted by La Jolla. If on the date La Jolla delivers a conversion notice, the applicable conversion is below $0.20 (the “Floor Price”), the Company shall have the right exercisable within two business days after the Company’s receipt of the Conversion Notice to prepay that portion of the Convertible Debenture that La Jolla elected to convert.  Any such prepayment shall be made in an amount equal to 120% of the sum of (i) the principal amount to be converted as specified in the applicable conversion notice plus (ii) any accrued and unpaid interest on any such principal amount.

Among the conditions that constitute an event of default is the situation where the average VWAP per share of the Company’s common stock for any period of three consecutive trading days during the term of the Convertible Debenture is less than $0.10 per share.  This condition initially occurred in early June 2012 and has continued through March 31, 2013.  On June 14, 2012, La Jolla notified the Company of the event of default and that it was accelerating the repayment of the Convertible Debenture (net of the $100,000 note receivable), repayment premium, and accrued interest in the aggregate amount of $120,586.  However, in July 2012, La Jolla withdrew its notification.  But, since an event of default has occurred, and has not been cured by the Company or the requirement has not been waived by La Jolla, the Convertible Debenture continues to be callable by La Jolla.  As such, the Convertible Debenture is classified among the current liabilities of the Company and is presented net of the $100,000 note receivable.

Pursuant to the Equity Investment Agreement, La Jolla has the right from time to time during the term of the agreement to purchase up to $2,000,000 of the Company’s Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the agreement.  Beginning October 27, 2012 and for each month thereafter, La Jolla shall purchase from the Company at least $100,000 of common stock, at a price per share equal to 125% of the VWAP on the Closing Date, provided, however, that La Jolla shall not be required to purchase common stock if (i) the VWAP for the five consecutive trading days prior to the payment date is equal to or less than $0.20 per share or (ii) an event of default has occurred under the SPA, the Convertible Debenture or the Equity Investment Agreement. Pursuant to the Equity Investment Agreement, La Jolla has the right to purchase, at any time and in any amount, at La Jolla’s option, common stock from the Company at a price per share equal to 125% of the VWAP on the Closing Date.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, La Jolla sent the Company notices of conversion of $5,800 of the Convertible Debenture and notices of purchase of $58,000 under the Equity Investment Agreement.  Pursuant to these notifications, the Company issued 11,154,739 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $0.0057 per share. 

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Debenture, Charles F. Volk, Jr., Anthony Mason and Samuel J. Butero issued a Secured Continuing Personal Guaranty pursuant to which they guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Equity Investment Agreement and the Convertible Debenture, up to a total of $100,000.

The variable conversion price constitutes an embedded derivative under generally accepted accounting principles and is required to be valued at fair value.  The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature has been recorded as a discount to the carrying amount of the Convertible Debenture.  The discount is being amortized over the period from the issuance date to the maturity date or to the conversion date, whichever is earlier.  The Company recognized interest expense from the amortization of the discounts in the amount of $22,170 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  The carrying amount of this Convertible Debenture is $3,643 at March 31, 2013, representing the unconverted face amount of $186,700, less the unamortized discount of $83,057 and less the note receivable due from La Jolla in the amount of $100,000.  The carrying amount of this Convertible Debenture is $(12,727) at December 31, 2012, representing the unconverted face amount of $192,500, less the unamortized discount of $105,227 and less the note receivable due from La Jolla in the amount of $100,000.

Note 7 - Convertible Debentures and Related Warrants

In May 2011 the Company sold units to certain investors for aggregate cash proceeds of $2,550,000 at a price of $30,000 per unit. Each unit consisted of a secured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $30,000 and a warrant to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The convertible debentures were issued in three tranches, matured one year after issuance on May 5, 2012, May 13, 2012, and May 19, 2012, and originally accrued interest at 9% per annum.  The debentures were convertible at the holder’s option at any time into common stock at a conversion price originally set at $1.50 per share.  The debentures will automatically be redeemed with a 30% premium upon a Change of Control or Listing Event (each as defined in the convertible debenture). Interest on the debentures is payable quarterly in arrears in cash.  The Company is in default under the convertible debentures because it has not made the interest payments that were due on July 1, 2011, October 1, 2011, January 1, 2012, April 1, 2012, May 5, 2012, May 13, 2012, and May 19, 2012, and has not repaid the principal which matured on May 5, 2012, May 13, 2012, and May 19, 2012.  As such, the Company is in default on all unpaid principal and total accrued interest of $783,839 as of March 31, 2013.  The default interest rate is 18% per annum.  Interest on the convertible debentures has been accrued at 18% in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements commencing on July 1, 2011, the date when the Company first defaulted on an interest payment.  To date, such default has not been either cured by the Company or waived by the holders of the convertible debentures.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the debenture holders have the right to exercise their rights under the Mineral Mortgage associated with the debentures.  These rights include, among other things, the right to foreclose on the collateral if necessary.  The Company is currently working to resolve the default on these debentures.  The Company can provide no assurance that it will obtain a resolution, or that the secured creditors will not eventually foreclose if not paid in the near term.  The Company is exploring alternatives for a partial sale, a farm-in, or the refinancing of the Vermillion 179 tract in order to pay off the debentures, with accrued interest.

The debentures contain price ratchet anti-dilution protection.  In addition, the conversion price shall be adjusted if the conversion price of securities in a subsequent offering by the Company is adjusted pursuant to a make good provision.  The shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures are entitled to piggyback registration rights.  The Company has determined that this anti-dilution reset provision caused the conversion feature to be bifurcated from the debentures, treated as a derivative liability, and accounted for at its fair value.  Upon issuance, the Company recorded a corresponding discount to the convertible debentures.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and during the year ended December 31, 2012, the conversion of certain unsecured convertible promissory notes and related issuance of common stock triggered the reset of the conversion price of the convertible debentures pursuant to the price ratchet anti-dilution protection provisions of these agreements.  As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the reset conversion price of the debentures is $0.0027 and $0.0087 per share, respectively, based on the lowest of the conversion prices.  As further explained in Note 15 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the conversion price of these debentures has been further adjusted subsequent to March 31, 2013 pursuant to the price ratchet anti-dilution protection provisions.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013, a debenture holder sent the Company notices of conversion of $13,468 of convertible debentures and $36,532 of the accrued interest.  Pursuant to these notices, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $0.005 per share.

In connection with this placement of convertible debentures, the Company issued warrants to acquire 1,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the debenture holders.  The warrants were originally exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.  The warrants became exercisable on a cashless basis six months after issuance because there was not an effective registration statement registering for resale the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants are entitled to piggyback registration rights.  The warrants contain price ratchet anti-dilution protection.  The Company has determined that this anti-dilution reset provision of the warrants is subject to derivative liability treatment and is required to be accounted for at its fair value.  Upon issuance, the Company determined the fair value of the warrants and recorded a corresponding discount to the convertible debentures.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and during the year ended December 31, 2012, the conversion of certain unsecured convertible promissory notes and related issuance of common stock triggered the reset of the exercise price of these warrants pursuant to the price ratchet anti-dilution protection provisions of these agreements.  As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the reset exercise price of the warrants is $0.0027 and $0.0087 per share, respectively, based on the lowest of the conversion prices.  As further explained in Note 15 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the exercise price of these warrants has been further adjusted subsequent to March 31, 2013 pursuant to the price ratchet anti-dilution protection provisions.   

The total discount to the debentures of $2,367,194 has been amortized over the one year term of the debentures using the effective interest method.  The Company recognized interest expense from the amortization of the discounts in the amount of $929,379 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The carrying amount of the convertible debentures is $2,536,532 at March 31, 2013 and $2,550,000 at December 31, 2012, representing their unconverted face amount since the discount is now fully amortized. 

In connection with this sale of convertible debentures and warrants, the Company 1) incurred a placement fee with its placement agent of $356,000, 2) issued five-year warrants to its placement agent to acquire 170,000 shares of common stock, which was 10% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures, and 3) paid $50,000 for legal services in connection with the issuance of these convertible debentures and warrants.  The warrants issued to the placement agent were originally exercisable at $3.00 per share, may be exercised on a cashless basis, and contain price ratchet anti-dilution protection.  The Company has determined that this anti-dilution reset provision of the warrants is subject to derivative liability treatment and is required to be accounted for at its fair value.  Upon issuance, the Company determined the fair value of the warrants and recorded a corresponding charge to deferred financing costs.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and during the year ended December 31, 2012, the conversion of certain unsecured convertible promissory notes and related issuance of common stock triggered the reset of the exercise price of these warrants pursuant to the price ratchet anti-dilution protection provisions of these agreements.  As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the reset exercise price of the warrants is $0.0027 and $0.0087 per share, respectively, based on the lowest of the conversion prices.  As further explained in Note 15 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the exercise price of these warrants has been further adjusted subsequent to March 31, 2013 pursuant to the price ratchet anti-dilution protection provisions.   

Total deferred financing costs recorded for the issuance of convertible debentures was $531,688.  Deferred financing costs have been amortized over the one year term of the debentures using the effective interest method.  The Company amortized deferred financing costs in the amount of $141,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  

Pursuant to the debentures and warrants, no holder may convert or exercise such holder’s debenture or warrant if such conversion or exercise would result in the holder beneficially owning in excess of 4.99% of our then issued and outstanding common stock. A holder may, however, increase or decrease this limitation (but in no event exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding) by providing the Company with 61 days’ notice that such holder wishes to increase or decrease this limitation.

Pursuant to a Mineral Mortgage between the Company and the purchasers of the debentures and warrants, the Company granted a first priority lien on all assets acquired from Montecito Offshore, L.L.C., as further discussed in Note 2 to these consolidated financial statements.

Business Condition

Business Condition – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has not had significant revenue and is still considered to be in the exploration stage.  The Company incurred losses of $1,132,113 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and $13,255,095 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The Company also used cash of $296,960 and $1,348,778 in its operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, respectively.  Through March 31, 2013, the Company has accumulated a deficit during the exploration stage of $33,522,484.  At March 31, 2013, the Company has a working capital deficit of $5,954,084 including current liabilities of $5,964,032.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company is currently seeking debt and equity financing to fund potential acquisitions and other expenditures, although it does not have any contracts or commitments for either at this time. The Company will have to raise additional funds to continue operations and, while it has been successful in doing so in the past, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary additional funds to continue operations and the attainment of profitable operations.  The Company hopes that working capital will become available via financing activities currently contemplated with regards to VM 179.  In January 2013, the Company received a preliminary commitment letter from an interested funding group for an $8,500,000 secured loan.  The proposed term of the loan is $3,500,000 initially and the balance to be drawn down within 90 days thereafter.  The loan would have a three year repayment schedule based on a 48 month amortization, with an annual interest rate of 14.95%.  The lender would be entitled to overriding interests in all oil and gas production and certain other customary fees and expenses.  The loan is subject to final approval of the lender’s credit committee and numerous conditions to closing, including, among others, additional equity from farm-in partners or other shareholders and a third-party review and verification of the reserves.  The Company can provide no assurances that this loan will be completed or that it can obtain other working capital on terms acceptable to it, if at all. 

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary additional funds to continue operations and to attain profitable operations.

Policies

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share

Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share – Basic loss per common share amounts are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.  Diluted loss per share amounts are computed assuming the issuance of common stock for potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. All outstanding stock options, warrants, stock awards, convertible promissory notes, and other obligations to be satisfied with the issuance of common stock are currently antidilutive and have been excluded from the diluted loss per share calculations.  None of the options, warrants, and stock awards to acquire 13,989,695 shares of common stock; the promissory notes and debentures convertible into 1,394,970,625 shares of common stock; shares of common stock issuable under the Equity Investment Agreement with La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. of 3,152,727 shares; or the 6,689,554 shares issuable to Ironridge under the arrangement to settle liabilities were included in the computation of diluted loss per share at March 31, 2013.  None of the options, warrants, and stock awards to acquire 4,834,695 shares of common stock; the promissory notes and debentures convertible into 17,750,874 shares of common stock; or the 4,310,815 estimated shares issuable to Ironridge under the arrangement to settle liabilities were included in the computation of diluted loss per share at March 31, 2012.
