WORTHINGTON ENERGY, INC.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

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. On January 27, 2012, Paxton Energy, Inc. changed its name to Worthington Energy, Inc. (the “Company”). On October 12, 2012, the Company’s stockholders approved a 1-for-10 reverse common stock split. In addition, on October 2, 2013 the Company effected a 1-for-50 reverse common stock split. All references in these 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.

Nature of Operations – As further described in Note 2 to these consolidated financial statements, the Company commenced acquiring working interests in oil and gas properties in June 2005.  We are in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing oil and gas-related assets. 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. 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, 2014, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and for the period from June 30, 2004 (date of inception), through March 31, 2014. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Worthington Energy, Inc., and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in its annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 17, 2013.

Going Concern – The accompanying 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 $178,357 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and $3,322,257 for year ended December 31, 2013. The Company also used cash of $147,111 in its operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and $228,024 during the year ended December 31, 2013, and a significant portion of the Company’s debt is in default. At March 31, 2014, the Company has a working capital deficit of $14,993,362 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $9,308,700. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Also, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s December 31, 2013 financial statements, has raised 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 its intended operating activities. There can be no assurance that such funds, if available, can be obtained, or if obtained, on terms reasonable to the Company. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On May 6, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of certain oil and gas properties located in the Vermillion 179 tract in the Gulf of Mexico, offshore from Louisiana. In December 2011, the seller of these oil and gas properties filed a lawsuit seeking to rescind the asset sale transaction. Pursuant to a Release and Settlement Agreement dated February 12, 2014 the Company agreed to convey its oil and gas properties for extinguishment of underlying obligations. The Company will account for the transaction in 2014 upon final settlement as an exchange of the oil and gas asset for the debt and an extinguishment of the related derivative liability (see Notes 2, 5, 6 and 11).

Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of Worthington Energy, Inc. and of PaxAcq Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates – In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements relate to the valuation of long-lived assets, accrued other liabilities, and valuation assumptions related to share-based payments and derivative liability.

Oil and Gas Properties – The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Under this method, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs and related asset retirement costs, are capitalized. Costs capitalized include acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties, and costs of drilling and equipping productive and nonproductive wells. Drilling costs include directly related overhead costs. Capitalized costs are categorized either as being subject to amortization or not subject to amortization.

5

All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, will be amortized, on the unit-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no capitalized costs subject to amortization. Investments in unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is charged to operations. The Company has not yet obtained a reserve report on its producing properties in Texas because the properties are considered to be in the exploration stage, management has not completed an evaluation of the properties, and the properties have had limited oil and gas exploration and production.

In addition, properties subject to amortization will be subject to a “ceiling test,” which basically limits such costs to the aggregate of the “estimated present value,” based on the projected future net revenues from proved reserves, discounted at 10% per annum to present value of future net revenues from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions, plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties.

Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations. Abandonments of properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no loss recognized.

Revenue Recognition – All revenues are 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. Normally, 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.

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based awards to employees expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award based on their grant date fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires management to make estimates for certain assumptions regarding risk-free interest rate, expected life of options, expected volatility of stock and expected dividend yield of stock.

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees and non-employee directors in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (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 for 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.

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 due to our net loss and have been excluded from the diluted loss per share calculations. As such, options, warrants, and stock awards to acquire 2,493,270 and 279,794 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and promissory notes and debentures convertible into an aggregate of 5,653,502,228 and 28,096,258 shares of common stock at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively were excluded in the computation of diluted loss per share at March 31, 2014 and 2013 as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments – The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, 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 a probability weighted average Black Scholes-Merton pricing model.

For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the Company uses the following hierarchy of inputs:

● Level one – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

● Level two – Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

● Level three – Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2014 are summarized as follows:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Derivative liability - conversion feature of debentures and related warrants	$	–	$	5,259,899	$	–	$	5,259,890
Derivative liability - embedded conversion feature and reset provisions of notes	$	–	$	2,279,190	$	–	$	2,279,190

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2013 are summarized as follows:

Derivative liability - conversion feature of debentures and related warrants	$	–	$	5,467,223	$	–	$	5,467,223
Derivative liability - embedded conversion feature and reset provisions of notes	$	–	$	2,441,192	$	–	$	2,441,192

Derivative Financial Instruments – The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model to value the derivative instruments. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Recently Issued Accounting Statements – In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360)." ASU 2014-08 amends the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations or that have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. This new accounting guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-08 on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

On February 26, 2014, the FASB affirmed changes in a November 2013 Exposure Draft, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, and directed the staff to draft a final Accounting Standards Update for vote by the FASB. This is intended to reduce the cost and complexity in financial reporting by eliminating inception-to-date information from the financial statements of development stage entities.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Oil and Gas Properties

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 30,000 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, 2014. 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. Pursuant to a Release and Settlement Agreement dated February 12, 2014 that has been signed and notarized by all parties involved, the matter has been settled. The operative terms of the settlement were recited into the record in open court on the day of trial. The result is that a judicially recognized compromise has been perfected under Louisiana law, which has the effect of extinguishing the underlying obligations the compromise is premised on. The Company’s obligations expected to be extinguished include a secured note payable in the amount of $500,000 to Montecito Offshore, LLC (see Note 5) and convertible debentures of $2,453,032 (see Note 6). However, recording the conveyance of the lease interest and cancelling mortgages and UCC-1’s by the debt holders has not occurred. The debt holders have delayed in performing these obligations because they want to first undertake a degree of internal restructuring before accepting the royalty interest they negotiated to receive as a part of the settlement. The debt holders have indicated that, after they have formed an entity to receive the royalty interest, they will cancel the outstanding mortgages and UCC-1’s along with recording the documents conveying the various interests in the public records. The Company will account for the transaction in 2014 upon final settlement as an exchange of the oil and gas asset for the debt and an extinguishment of the related derivative liability (see Note 11).

Note 3 – 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 20,300 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 200 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 year ended December 31, 2012 and calculated that the Final Amount to be issued under the Order is 856,291 shares of common stock.  Additionally, during the year 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.

Since the issuance of the Initial Shares, the Company issued an additional 194,200 shares of common stock during the year ended December 31, 2012 (for an aggregate value of $531,689) which has been accounted for as the reduction of a proportionate amount of the calculated fair value of the original liability to Ironridge. During the year ended December 31, 2013 the Company issued an additional 6,550,000 shares of common stock to Ironridge with an aggregate value of $1,421,595. At that time, the Company believed it had a remaining obligation to Ironridge of $68,028. However, on February 24, 2014, Ironridge claimed that the Company’s failure to comply with prior order and stipulation has caused them harm and claimed that it was still owed $241,046. A judge awarded Ironridge a third order enforcing a prior order for approval of stipulation for settlement claim by requiring the Company to reserve 1,095,950,732 shares of the Company’s common stock until the balance of the claim is paid. On February 26, 2014, the Company issued to Ironridge 5,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $4,550 and at March 31, 2014, the balance due to Ironridge was $236,496.

The unsecured convertible promissory notes payable are generally due within one year from the date of issuance bear interest at rates ranging from 8% to 12% and are convertible into shares of our common stock at discounts ranging from 30% to 70%. Most of our unsecured convertible promissory notes payable are in default at March 31, 2014. Additionally, the notes have generally contained a reset provision that provides that if the Company issues or sells any shares of common stock for consideration per share less than the conversion price of the notes, that the conversion price will be reduced to the amount of consideration per share of the stock issuance.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company received proceeds of $149,000 pursuant to unsecured convertible promissory notes to various entities. The convertible promissory notes bear interest from 8% to 12% per annum, are convertible into shares of our common stock at discounts ranging from 49% to 70%, contain reset provisions, and are due from three months to 9 months after the issuance date. Under authoritative guidance of the FASB, due to the variable conversion prices and reset provisions, the Company accounted for the conversion features of these notes as instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions and are deemed to be derivative instruments (see Note 7). The Company determined the aggregate fair value of the derivative liabilities related to these notes was $334,056, of which $149,000 was recorded as note discount (up to the face amount of the notes) to be amortized over the term of the related notes, and the balance of $185,056 is recorded as current period interest expense.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company increased existing notes by $100,415 to reflect an increase in the principal amount of certain notes due to an event of default occurring. This was recorded in amortization of discount on convertible notes.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized interest expense from the amortization of discounts in the amount of $107,794 and $329,635, respectively.

The change in unsecured convertible promissory notes payable from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014 is as follows:

Balance at December 31, 2013	$	929,964
Issuance of new notes		149,000
Penalties on existing notes		100,415

The secured notes payable are generally secured with oil and gas properties, bear interest at rates ranging from 4.75% to 9% and some are convertible into shares of our common stock at discount of 93%. Our secured notes payable are in default at March 31, 2014. The Montecito Offshore LLC note is secured by a second lien mortgage, subordinated to the convertible debentures discussed below.  See discussion below about the Release and Settlement Agreement dated February 12, 2014. Certain notes contained a reset provision that provides that if the Company issues or sells any shares of common stock for consideration per share less than the conversion price of the notes, that the conversion price will be reduced to the amount of consideration per share of the stock issuance.

A roll forward of the secured notes payable from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014 is as follows:

Montecito Offshore, L.L.C. (Vermillion 179)

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 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. The Company has entered into settlement discussions and has reached a preliminary settlement, but final documents remain to be signed as of the date of this Report.

Note 6 – Convertible Debentures and Related Warrants (In Default)

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 400 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 $150.00 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 beginning July 1, 2011 and has not repaid the principal which matured on May 19, 2012. As such, the Company is in default on all unpaid principal and total accrued interest of $1,233,496 as of March 31, 2014. The default interest rate is 18% per annum. Interest on the convertible debentures has been accrued at 18% in the accompanying 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. Pursuant to a Release and Settlement Agreement dated February 12, 2014 that has been signed and notarized by all parties involved, the matter has been settled. The operative terms of the settlement were recited into the record in open court on the day of trial. The result is that a judicially recognized compromise has been perfected under Louisiana law, which has the effect of extinguishing the underlying obligations the compromise is premised on. The Company’s obligations expected to be extinguished include a secured note payable in the amount of $500,000 to Montecito Offshore, LLC (see Note 5) and the convertible debentures. However, recording the conveyance of the lease interest and cancelling mortgages and UCC-1’s by the debt holders has not occurred. The debt holders have delayed in performing these obligations because they want to first undertake a degree of internal restructuring before accepting the royalty interest they negotiated to receive as a part of the settlement. The debt holders have indicated that, after they have formed an entity to receive the royalty interest, they will cancel the outstanding mortgages and UCC-1’s along with recording the documents conveying the various interests in the public records (See Notes 2 and 11).

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 as a valuation discount at its fair value.  Upon issuance, the Company recorded a corresponding discount to the convertible debentures.

The carrying amount of the convertible debentures is $2,453,032 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. 

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.

Note 7 – Derivative Liabilities

Under the authoritative guidance of the FASB on determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock, instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments. All of the notes described in Notes 4, 5 and 6 that contain a reset provision or have a conversion price that is a percentage of the market price contain embedded conversion features which are considered derivative liabilities to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations. The conversion feature of the Company’s Debentures (described in Note 6), and the related warrants, do not have fixed settlement provisions because their conversion and exercise prices, respectively, may be lowered if the Company issues securities at lower prices in the future. The Company was required to include the reset provisions in order to protect the holders of the Debentures from the potential dilution associated with future financings. In accordance with the FASB authoritative guidance, the conversion feature of the Debentures was separated from the host contract (i.e., the Debentures) and recognized as a derivative instrument. 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the derivative liabilities were valued using a probability weighted average Black Scholes-Merton pricing model with the following assumptions:

	March 31,		At Date of		December 31,
	2014		Issuance		2013
Conversion feature:
Risk-free interest rate		0.13%		0.11% - 0.13%		0.13%
Expected Volatility		431%		421% - 441%		425%
Expected life (in years)		.06 to .7		.5 to .8		.04 to .62
Expected dividend yield		0%		0%		0%
Warrants:
Risk-free interest rate		0.15%		N/A		0.13%
Expected Volatility		431%		N/A		425%
Expected life (in years)		1.3 to 2.93		N/A		1.6 to 3.6
Expected dividend yield		0%		N/A		0%
Fair Value
Conversion feature	$	7,535,507	$	334,056	$	7,896,892
Warrants		3,582		–		11,523
	$	7,539,089	$	334,056	$	7,908,415

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company uses the historical volatility of its common stock to estimate the future volatility for its common stock. The expected life of the convertible debentures and notes was determined by the maturity date of the notes. The expected life of the warrants was determined by their expiration dates. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends to its common stockholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to its common stockholders in the future.

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of the aggregate derivative liability of the conversion features and warrants was $7,539,089 and $7,908,415, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 the Company recorded a change in fair value of the derivative liability of $703,382 and $163,969, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized additional derivative liabilities of $334,056, related to the issuances of convertible promissory notes payable as described under Note 4.

Note 8 – Preferred and Common Stock

Issuance of Common Stock for Cash

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company sold 3,637 shares of common stock at the price of $1.37 per share for total proceeds of $5,000.

Issuance of Common Stock for Debt

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued:

· 5,000,000 shares of its common stock to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. in exchange for $4,550 of debt.

Equity Investment Agreement

Pursuant to the Equity Investment Agreement, La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc., 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 $10.00 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, 2014, the Company received notices of purchase from La Jolla under the Equity Investment Agreement totaling $500, pursuant to which the Company issued 3,666,666 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $0.0001 per share.

Note 9 – Stock Options and Warrants

Stock Options and Compensation-Based Warrants

On September 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 40,000 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 consolidated balance sheet.

Note 11 – Subsequent Events

On April 24, 2014, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Stipulation, whereby an investor acquired $74,514 of past due liabilities of the Company and the Company allowed this investor to convert the acquired liabilities into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 50% of the market price.

Subsequent to March 31, 2014 the Company issued shares of common stock as follows:

· 742,692,659 to investors upon the conversion of notes payable and accrued interest;

· 2,909 to an investor for cash;

· 46,000,000 to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd for settlement of accrued liabilities; and

· 70,000,000 for payment of acquisitions (see below).

On April 17, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of the oil and gas assets of American Dynamic Resources, Inc. (ADR) and the Heavy Oil Technology and Intellectual Property. The assets of ADR consist of multiple leases in Montgomery, Labette and Wilson Counties in Kansas. The combined leases contain 140 oil wells and 17 gas wells within 3,527 acres. The purchase price for these oil and gas leases was $50,000 plus 35,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $63,000. We also acquired ADR's patents on Intellectual Properties covering 3 areas of Enhanced Oil Recovery: Air Lift, Thermal Enhancement and Reservoir Management. The purchase price for the patents was $75,000 plus 35,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $63,000.

On April 18, 2014, the Company purchased certain assets from Sunwest Group, LLC. The assets consisting of 18 leases in Montgomery, Labette and Wilson Counties in Kansas. The purchase price was $325,000. As additional consideration for its purchase of the assets the Company assumed the obligations and responsibilities with respect to the abandonment obligations up to the amount of $250,000.

On May 6, 2011, the Company acquired certain assets from Montecito (see Notes 2, 6, and 7). 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 30,000 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 December 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 above. Pursuant to a Release and Settlement Agreement dated February 12, 2014 that has been signed and notarized by all parties involved, the matter has been settled and the operative terms of the settlement were recited into the record in open court on the day of trial. The result is that a judicially recognized compromise has been perfected under Louisiana law, which has the effect of extinguishing the underlying obligations the compromise is premised on. The Company’s obligations extinguished include a secured notes payable in the amount of $500,000 (see Note 5) and convertible debentures of approximately $2,450,000 (see Note 6). However, recording the conveyance of the lease interest and cancelling mortgages and UCC-1’s by the debt holders has not occurred. The debt holders have delayed in performing these obligations because they want to first undertake a degree of internal restructuring before accepting the royalty interest they negotiated to receive as a part of the settlement. The debt holders have indicated that, after they have formed an entity to receive the royalty interest, they will cancel the outstanding mortgages and UCC-1’s along with recording the documents conveying the various interests into the public records. The Company believes the conveyances will occur and that the matter has been settled. Below is an unaudited pro forma balance sheet that shows the pro forma impact of this settlement on the Company’s March 31, 2014 balance sheet:

Company Overview   

Worthington Energy, Inc. is an oil and gas exploration and production company with assets in Texas and 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 and are shut in and not producing. 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.

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. In February 2014, we agreed to rescind our interest in VM 179 in exchange for the extinguishment of certain debt. The transaction will be recorded in 2014 upon final agreement by all parties to the settlement.

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, we 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”). We 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. We paid $175,000 in cash, issued a note for $1,075,000 and agreed to issue 90,000 shares of common stock, of which 45,000 shares were issued to Black Cat at the time of closing and the remaining 45,000 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 $19.00 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 $3.50 per share at the time of connecting the well), and $43,487 in acquisition and well costs.

15

On November 1, 2012, we sold our 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 us for working capital purposes.

On January 25, 2013, we 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, we 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. We have paid $10,000 to Mr. Mason resulting in a remaining liability of $115,000 at December 31, 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 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 us for cancellation the 90,000 shares of our common stock it received in connection with the Black Cat Agreement and to release us 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 our company.

In connection with our accounting for the year ended December 31, 2012, we 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, we 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.

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.

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. The Company has entered into settlement discussions and has reached a preliminary settlement, but final document remain to be signed as of the date of this Report. Pursuant to a Release and Settlement Agreement dated February 12, 2014 that has been signed and notarized by all parties involved, the matter has been settled. The operative terms of the settlement were recited into the record in open court on the day of trial. The result is that a judicially recognized compromise has been perfected under Louisiana law, which has the effect of extinguishing the underlying obligations the compromise is premised on. The Company’s obligations expected to be extinguished include a secured note payable in the amount of $500,000 to Montecito Offshore, LLC and convertible debentures of approximately $2,450,000. However, recording the conveyance of the lease interest and cancelling mortgages and UCC-1’s by the debt holders has not occurred. The debt holders have delayed in performing these obligations because they want to first undertake a degree of internal restructuring before accepting the royalty interest they negotiated to receive as a part of the settlement. The debt holders have indicated that, after they have formed an entity to receive the royalty interest, they will cancel the outstanding mortgages and UCC-1’s along with recording the documents conveying the various interests in the public records. The Company will account for the transaction in 2014 upon final settlement as an exchange of the oil and gas asset for the debt and an extinguishment of the related derivative liability.

Kansas Properties

On April 17, 2014, we completed the acquisition of the oil and gas assets of American Dynamic Resources, Inc. (ADR) and the Heavy Oil Technology and Intellectual Property. The assets of ADR consisting of multiple leases in Montgomery, Labette and Wilson Counties in Kansas. The combined leases contain 140 oil wells and 17 gas wells within 3,527 acres. The purchase price for these oil and gas leases was $50,000 plus 35,000,000 shares of our common stock valued at $63,000. We also acquired ADR's patents on Intellectual Properties covering 3 areas of Enhanced Oil Recovery: Air Lift, Thermal Enhancement and Reservoir Management. The purchase price for the patents was $75,000 plus 35,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $63,000.

16

On April 18, 2014, we purchased certain assets from Sunwest Group, LLC. The assets consisting of 18 leases in Montgomery, Labette and Wilson Counties in Kansas. The purchase price was $325,000. As additional consideration for our purchase of the assets we assumed the obligations and responsibilities with respect to the abandonment obligations up to the amount of $250,000.

Capital Structure

On April 10, 2013, the Board of Directors approved a Certificate of Designation to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Designation”), specifying the rights, privileges, preferences, and restrictions of the Series A Preferred Stock. On April 17, 2013, we filed the Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of Nevada designating one million shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

The Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible and for every share of Series A Preferred Stock converted, the holder shall be entitled to receive one (1) share of our common stock. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to voting rights with respect to any vote to be held by the holders of our Common Stock. Every share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to 750 votes for each share of common stock that each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into.

On April 10, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the sale and issuance of one million shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Charles Volk, the Company’s chief executive officer. These shares were valued at $250,000 which includes a premium for the voting preferences described above. Also on April 17, 2013, we issued one million shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Volk on the terms authorized by the board of directors.

On April 17, 2013, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the “First Amendment”) to increase the authorized shares of common stock from 500 million to 1.49 billion. The increase of authorized shares was approved by the Board of Directors on April 17, 2013 and by stockholders holding a majority of the voting rights of our Common Stock.

On May 8, 2013, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the “Second Amendment” and, together with the First Amendment, the “Amendments”) to increase the authorized common stock from 1.49 billion to 2.49 billion. The increase of authorized shares was approved by the Board of Directors on April 17, 2013 and by stockholders holding a majority of the voting rights of our Common Stock.

On June 24, 2013, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the “Third Amendment” and, together with the First and Second Amendment, the “Amendments”) to increase the authorized common stock from 2.49 billion to 6.49 billion. The increase of authorized shares was approved by the Board of Directors on June 25, 2013 and by stockholders holding a majority of the voting rights of our Common Stock.

On October 12, 2012, we affected a 1-for-10 reverse common stock split and on October 2, 2013 we affected a 1-for-50 reverse common stock split. All references in the 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 split have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock splits on a retroactive basis for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

Oil and Gas Revenues

Our oil and gas revenue was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Bayshore has ceased to report to us the amounts of our respective share in oil and gas revenues and 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 $323,567 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $453,478 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 representing a decrease of $129,911. The decrease in our costs and operating expenses are primarily a result of decreases in general and administrative expenses and impairment of oil and gas properties as discussed below.

Lease Operating Expenses – Lease operating expenses were $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Bayshore has ceased to report to us the amounts of our respective share of lease operating expenses and the oil wells are shut in and not producing.

Impairment loss on oil and gas properties – During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recognized an impairment loss of $11,623 on our Mustang Island 818-L lease. As part of a Settlement Agreement, we transferred to Black Cat all of the title and interest that we owned in the Mustang Island 818-L lease well. We have evaluated the accounting effects of the settlement agreement and concluded that impairment in the approximate amount of $11,623 should be recorded, which has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2013.

17

General and Administrative Expense – General and administrative expense was $323,567 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $441,855 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, representing a decrease of $118,288. The decrease in general and administrative expense during the three months ended March 31, 2014 is principally related to decreases of: (1) $15,630 for insurance costs; (2) $12,236 for rent expenses; (3) share-based compensation of $52,788; (4) $41,855 in salaries and wages; and (5) $12,717 for travel and entertainment offset by an increase of $64,408 in consulting services.. The increase in consulting services represents an increase in payments related to investor relations, energy, financing, and general business services as a result of a general increased need for such consulting services.  

Other Income (Expense)

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities – We issued convertible promissory notes commencing in April 2010 which contain a variable conversion price and anti-dilution reset provisions. In addition, during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we issued convertible debentures and warrants that contain price ratchet anti-dilution protection. These embedded 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 embedded conversion features of the convertible promissory notes, the convertible debentures, and the related warrants using a probability weighted average Black Scholes-Merton pricing model. The fair value of these derivative liabilities was estimated to be $7,539,089 and $7,908,415 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. We recognized a gain from the change in fair value of these derivative liabilities of $703,382 and $163,969 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Interest Expense – We incurred interest expense of $145,907 and $164,987 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to the decrease in the amount of our unsecured convertible debt in the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to March 31, 2013.

Amortization of discount on convertible notes and other debt – 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 embedded conversion features is measured on the issue date of the notes. Generally, a discount is recorded for these embedded 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 $412,265 and $677,617 of discount on convertible notes and debentures for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, there is $157,950 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.

Although the net changes with respect to our revenues and our costs and operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, are summarized above, the trends contained therein are limited and should not be viewed as a definitive indication of our future results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From our inception our principal sources of liquidity consisted of proceeds from the sale of unsecured convertible promissory notes and proceeds from the sale of common stock and warrants. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we received $149,000 and $5,000 from the proceeds from the sale convertible notes and common stock, respectively, and during the three months ended March 31, 2013, we received $188,000 and $108,000 from the proceeds from the sale convertible notes and common stock, respectively. From our inception we received $5,862,391 and $3,385,570 from the proceeds from the sale convertible notes and common stock, respectively.

At March 31, 2014, we had $7,055 in cash and we had a working capital deficit of $14,993,362, as compared to a deficit of $14,914,490 as of December 31, 2013. 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 increase in the working capital deficit for the period ended March 31, 2014, is principally due to new unsecured convertible promissory notes payable issued. In addition, we have total stockholders’ deficiency of $9,308,700 at March 31, 2014 compared to total stockholders’ deficiency of $9,228,482 at December 31, 2013, an increase in the stockholders’ deficiency of $80,218. The increase in the stockholders’ deficiency for the three months ended March 31, 2014, is principally due to net loss incurred during the year offset by certain debt and accrued interest being converted into shares of common stock.

Our operations used net cash of $147,111 during the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $296,960 of net cash used during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014, consisted of our net loss of $178,357, less, amortization of deferred financing costs and discount on convertible notes, and depreciation expense, and further reduced by non-cash changes in working capital, plus the non-cash gain for the change in fair value of derivative liabilities.

We had no investing activities that used cash during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

18

Financing activities provided $154,000 of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $296,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Cash flows from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014, relate to 1) the receipt of proceeds from the placement of unsecured convertible promissory notes in the amount of $149,000 and 2) proceeds from issuance of common stock and warrants for $5,000. 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 

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 have historically financed our operations from the issuance of unsecured convertible promissory notes payable, secured notes payable and convertible debentures.

Below is a summary of our unsecured convertible promissory notes payable, secured notes payable and convertible debentures at March 31, 2014:

	$	1,204,531	$	151,947	$	1,052,584

The unsecured convertible promissory notes payable are generally due within one year from the date of issuance bear interest at rates ranging from 8% to 12% and are convertible into shares of our common stock at discounts ranging from 30% to 70%. Most of our unsecured convertible promissory notes payable are in default at March 31, 2014. Additionally, the notes have generally contained a reset provision that provides that if the Company issues or sells any shares of common stock for consideration per share less than the conversion price of the notes, then the conversion price will be reduced to the amount of consideration per share of the stock issuance.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company received proceeds of $149,000 pursuant to unsecured convertible promissory notes to various entities. The convertible promissory notes bear interest from 8% to 12% per annum.  The principal and unpaid accrued interest are due from three months to 9 months after the issuance date.

Secured Notes Payable outstanding at March 31, 2014:

	Unpaid		Unamortized		Carrying
	Principal		Discount		Value
Montecito Offshore, LLC	$	500,000	$	–	$	500,000
Bride Loan Settlement Note		40,000		–		40,000

La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc.		83,440		6,003		77,437
	$	645,015	$	6,003	$	639,012

The secured notes payable are generally secured with oil and gas properties, bear interest at rates ranging from 4.75% to 9% and some are convertible into shares of our common stock at discount of 93%. Our secured notes payable are in default at March 31, 2014. The Montecito Offshore LLC note is secured by a second lien mortgage, subordinated to the convertible debentures discussed below. See discussion below about the Release and Settlement Agreement dated February 12, 2014. Certain notes contained a reset provision that provides that if the Company issues or sells any shares of common stock for consideration per share less than the conversion price of the notes, that the conversion price will be reduced to the amount of consideration per share of the stock issuance.

Convertible Debentures outstanding at March 31, 2014:

	Unpaid		Unamortized		Carrying
	Principal		Discount		Value
Tranche 1	$	2,036,282	$	–	$	2,036,282
Tranche 2		285,500		–		285,500
Tranche 3		131,250		–		131,250
	$	2,453,032	$	–	$	2,453,032

In May 2011 we sold units to certain investors for aggregate cash proceeds of $2,550,000. 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 $150.00 per share. 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 us is adjusted pursuant to a make good provision. We are in default under the convertible debentures because we have not made the interest payments that were due beginning July 1, 2011 and have not repaid the principal which matured on May 19, 2012. As such, we are in default on all unpaid principal and total accrued interest. The default interest rate is 18% per annum. We are currently working to resolve the default on these debentures. Pursuant to a Release and Settlement Agreement dated February 12, 2014 that has been signed and notarized by all parties involved, the matter has been settled. The operative terms of the settlement were recited into the record in open court on the day of trial. The result is that a judicially recognized compromise has been perfected under Louisiana law, which has the effect of extinguishing the underlying obligations the compromise is premised on. Our obligations under these convertible debentures and a secured note payable in the amount of $500,000 to Montecito Offshore, LLC as mentioned in the previous table are expected to be extinguished. However, recording the conveyance of the lease interest and cancelling mortgages and UCC-1’s by the debt holders has not occurred. The debt holders have delayed in performing these obligations because they want to first undertake a degree of internal restructuring before accepting the royalty interest they negotiated to receive as a part of the settlement. The debt holders have indicated that, after they have formed an entity to receive the royalty interest, they will cancel the outstanding mortgages and UCC-1’s along with recording the documents conveying the various interests in the public records.

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, 2013 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 for 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.

20

Convertible Debt and Derivative Accounting

For convertible debt that is issued with embedded 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 embedded conversion feature. The fair value of the embedded 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 embedded conversion feature to determine whether the embedded 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 a probability weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. Accordingly, the fair value of the price ratchet anti-dilution protection of the convertible debentures and warrants 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. Expected volatility is based primarily on the historical volatility of other comparable oil and gas companies.

We evaluate our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model to value the derivative instruments. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

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.

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.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our Company’s results of operations.

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.

Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses described below, as of March 31, 2014, 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 2014 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 2014, 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.

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, 2014 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 sought 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 30,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company 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 and has reached a preliminary settlement, but final document remain to be signed as of the date of this Report. Pursuant to a Release and Settlement Agreement dated February 12, 2014 that has been signed and notarized by all parties involved, the matter has been settled. The operative terms of the settlement were recited into the record in open court on the day of trial. The result is that a judicially recognized compromise has been perfected under Louisiana law, which has the effect of extinguishing the underlying obligations the compromise is premised on. The Company’s obligations expected to be extinguished include a secured note payable in the amount of $500,000 to Montecito Offshore, LLC and convertible debentures of approximately $2,450,000. However, recording the conveyance of the lease interest and cancelling mortgages and UCC-1’s by the debt holders has not occurred. The debt holders have delayed in performing these obligations because they want to first undertake a degree of internal restructuring before accepting the royalty interest they negotiated to receive as a part of the settlement. The debt holders have indicated that, after they have formed an entity to receive the royalty interest, they will cancel the outstanding mortgages and UCC-1’s along with recording the documents conveying the various interests in the public records. The Company will account for the transaction in 2014 upon final settlement as an exchange of the oil and gas asset for the debt and an extinguishment of the related derivative liability.

Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. v. Worthington Energy, Inc.,

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 20,300 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 2,000 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 year ended December 31, 2012 and calculated that the Final Amount to be issued under the Order is 856,291 shares of common stock. Additionally, during the year 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 8,400 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. 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.

23

The Company has issued a total of 6,764,500 shares to Ironridge and had reduced the original liability of $1,388,407 to $68,028. However, on February 24, 2014 a judge awarded Ironridge a third order enforcing prior order for approval of stipulation for settlement claim by requiring the Company to reserve 1,095,950,732 shares of the Company’s common stock until the balance of the claim in paid. Ironridge claimed that the Company’s failure to comply with prior order and stipulation has caused them harm. Ironridge claims that it is still owed $241,046. The Company has increased the balance due to Ironridge to $241,046 at December 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued to Ironridge 5,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $4,550. The balance due to Ironridge at March 31, 2014 was $236,496.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

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

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Stock Issuances

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 26,809,091 shares to ASC Recap LLC (Leblanc) for the conversion of $14,720 of debentures and $1,200 of bank fees.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 69,814,686 shares to Asher Enterprise for the conversion of $47,980 of debentures and $1,300 of accrued interest.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 7,994,000 shares to Haverstock Manager LLC for the conversion of $6,096 of debentures.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares to Irondridge Global IV Ltd for the conversion of $4,550 of debentures, pursuant to an Order of Approval of Stipulation for Settlement. The securities were issued in a transaction pursuant to Refulation D under Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 8,600,000 shares to JMJ Financial for the conversion of $7,523 of debentures.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares to Al Kau for the conversion of $2,000 of debentures.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 3,666,666 shares to La Jolla Cove Investors for the conversion of $500 of debentures.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 3,637 shares to La Jolla Cove Investors for cash proceeds of $5,000.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 14,543,612 shares to Redwood for the conversion of $7,272 of debentures.

The above issuances of shares are exempt from registration, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.  These securities qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act since the issuance securities by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, these stockholders had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for this transaction.

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 January 2014, 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 $2,453,032 or (ii) made the interest payments that were due starting on July 1, 2011 and continuing through the maturity dates.  As of March 31, 2014, the total interest that is due is $1,233,496 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.

24

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.

Commencing in November 2011 and continuing through April 2012, the Company issued thirteen additional unsecured convertible promissory notes to various unaffiliated entities or individuals.  Aggregate proceeds from these convertible promissory notes totaled $307,000.  In connection with twelve of these notes totaling $287,000, the Company also issued warrants to purchase 287,000 shares of common stock.  The warrants are exercisable at $1.50 per share and expire on December 31, 2016.  The convertible promissory notes bear interest at 8% per annum.  The principal and unpaid accrued interest were due on dates ranging from August 1, 2012 to October 26, 2012. These notes are currently in default.  

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. As of March 31, 2014 this note is in default.

At various dates commencing in August 2011 and continuing through September 30, 2013, the Company received proceeds pursuant to seven unsecured convertible promissory notes to GEL Properties, LLC (GEL), an unaffiliated entity.  Additionally, in August 2012, GEL purchased the rights to $75,000 of principal of a secured bridge loan note held by a noteholder of the Company and in February 2013, GEL purchased the rights to $37,500 of principal of a secured note held by What Happened LLC.  These acquired rights were restated to be consistent with other notes held by GEL.  The convertible promissory notes bear interest at 6% per annum.  The principal and unpaid accrued interest are generally due approximately one year after the issuance date. Certain of these notes are currently in default.  

Upon execution of an equity facility with Haverstock Master Fund, LTD (Haverstock) in June 2012, the Company issued Haverstock a convertible note in the principal amount of $295,000 for payment of an implementation fee of $250,000, legal fees of $35,000, and due diligence fees of $10,000. In July 2012, the Company received proceeds of $75,000 from Common Stock, LLC pursuant to a convertible note.  These convertible notes matured on March 22, 2013 and are in default.  

On July 31, 2012, the Company received proceeds of $100,000 pursuant to an unsecured promissory note and issued a warrant to purchase 2,000 shares of common stock of the Company to two individuals.  The promissory note requires the repayment of $115,000 of principal (including interest of $15,000) by October 31, 2012.  The warrant has an exercise price of $5.00 per share and expires on July 31, 2015.  Proceeds from the note were paid on the Bridge Loan Note that is discussed in further detail in Note 6 to these condensed consolidated financial statements.  As of March 31, 2014, this note is in default.

On August 9, 2012, the Company received proceeds of $25,000 pursuant to an unsecured promissory note and issued a warrant to purchase 500 shares of common stock of the Company to an individual.  The promissory note requires the repayment of $28,750 of principal (including interest of $3,750) by November 9, 2012.  The warrant has an exercise price of $5.00 per share of common stock and will be exercisable until October 9, 2015.  As of September 30, 2013, this note is in default.

On October 8, 2012, the Company received proceeds of $50,000 pursuant to an unsecured promissory note and issued a warrant to purchase 1,000 shares of common stock of the Company to two individuals.  The promissory note requires the repayment of $62,500 of principal (including interest of $12,500) by January 7, 2013.  The warrant has an exercise price of $5.00 per share of common stock and will be exercisable until October 8, 2015.   As of March 31, 2014, this note is in default.  

In September 2012 and February 2013, the Company received proceeds pursuant to two unsecured convertible promissory notes to Prolific, an unaffiliated entity.   Additionally, 1) in July 2012 Prolific acquired the rights to three unsecured convertible promissory notes from one of the Company’s noteholders, 2) in September 2012 Prolific purchased the rights to $40,000 of principal of a secured bridge loan note held by another noteholder of the Company, and 3) in February 2013 Prolific purchased the rights to $50,000 of principal of a secured note held What Happened LLC.  These acquired rights were restated such that all notes held by Prolific bear interest at 6% per annum and the principal and unpaid accrued interest are generally due approximately one year after the issuance date.  March 31, 2014, all of these notes are currently in default.   

In November and December 2012, the Company received proceeds pursuant to two unsecured convertible promissory notes to Hanover Holdings I, LLC (Hanover), an unaffiliated entity.  Proceeds from the convertible promissory note were $25,500.  The convertible promissory notes bear interest at 12% per annum.  The principal and unpaid accrued interest are due one year after the issuance date.  This note is currently in default.

Oil and Gas Property [Abstract]

Oil and Gas Properties [Text Block]

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 30,000 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, 2014. 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.  Pursuant to a Release and Settlement Agreement dated February 12, 2014 that has been signed and notarized by all parties involved, the matter has been settled. The operative terms of the settlement were recited into the record in open court on the day of trial. The result is that a judicially recognized compromise has been perfected under Louisiana law, which has the effect of extinguishing the underlying obligations the compromise is premised on. The Company’s obligations expected to be extinguished include a secured note payable in the amount of $500,000 to Montecito Offshore, LLC (see Note 5) and convertible debentures of $2,453,032 (see Note 6). However, recording the conveyance of the lease interest and cancelling mortgages and UCC-1’s by the debt holders has not occurred. The debt holders have delayed in performing these obligations because they want to first undertake a degree of internal restructuring before accepting the royalty interest they negotiated to receive as a part of the settlement. The debt holders have indicated that, after they have formed an entity to receive the royalty interest, they will cancel the outstanding mortgages and UCC-1’s along with recording the documents conveying the various interests in the public records. The Company will account for the transaction in 2014 upon final settlement as an exchange of the oil and gas asset for the debt and an extinguishment of the related derivative liability (see Note 11).

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2014

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization – Paxton Energy, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 30, 2004. On January 27, 2012, Paxton Energy, Inc. changed its name to Worthington Energy, Inc. (the “Company”). On October 12, 2012, the Company’s stockholders approved a 1-for-10 reverse common stock split. In addition, on October 2, 2013 the Company effected a 1-for-50 reverse common stock split. All references in these 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.

Nature of Operations – As further described in Note 2 to these consolidated financial statements, the Company commenced acquiring working interests in oil and gas properties in June 2005.  We are in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing oil and gas-related assets. 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. 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, 2014, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and for the period from June 30, 2004 (date of inception), through March 31, 2014. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Worthington Energy, Inc., and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in its annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 17, 2013.

Going Concern – The accompanying 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 $178,357 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and $3,322,257 for year ended December 31, 2013. The Company also used cash of $147,111 in its operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and $228,024 during the year ended December 31, 2013, and a significant portion of the Company’s debt is in default. At March 31, 2014, the Company has a working capital deficit of $14,993,362 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $9,308,700. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Also, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s December 31, 2013 financial statements, has raised 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 its intended operating activities. There can be no assurance that such funds, if available, can be obtained, or if obtained, on terms reasonable to the Company. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On May 6, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of certain oil and gas properties located in the Vermillion 179 tract in the Gulf of Mexico, offshore from Louisiana. In December 2011, the seller of these oil and gas properties filed a lawsuit seeking to rescind the asset sale transaction. Pursuant to a Release and Settlement Agreement dated February 12, 2014 the Company agreed to convey its oil and gas properties for extinguishment of underlying obligations. The Company will account for the transaction in 2014 upon final settlement as an exchange of the oil and gas asset for the debt and an extinguishment of the related derivative liability (see Notes 2, 5, 6 and 11).

Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of Worthington Energy, Inc. and of PaxAcq Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates – In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements relate to the valuation of long-lived assets, accrued other liabilities, and valuation assumptions related to share-based payments and derivative liability.

Oil and Gas Properties – The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Under this method, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs and related asset retirement costs, are capitalized. Costs capitalized include acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties, and costs of drilling and equipping productive and nonproductive wells. Drilling costs include directly related overhead costs. Capitalized costs are categorized either as being subject to amortization or not subject to amortization.

All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, will be amortized, on the unit-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no capitalized costs subject to amortization. Investments in unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is charged to operations. The Company has not yet obtained a reserve report on its producing properties in Texas because the properties are considered to be in the exploration stage, management has not completed an evaluation of the properties, and the properties have had limited oil and gas exploration and production.

In addition, properties subject to amortization will be subject to a “ceiling test,” which basically limits such costs to the aggregate of the “estimated present value,” based on the projected future net revenues from proved reserves, discounted at 10% per annum to present value of future net revenues from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions, plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties.

Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations. Abandonments of properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no loss recognized.

Revenue Recognition – All revenues are 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. Normally, 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.

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based awards to employees expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award based on their grant date fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires management to make estimates for certain assumptions regarding risk-free interest rate, expected life of options, expected volatility of stock and expected dividend yield of stock.

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees and non-employee directors in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (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 for 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.

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 due to our net loss and have been excluded from the diluted loss per share calculations. As such, options, warrants, and stock awards to acquire 2,493,270 and 279,794 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and promissory notes and debentures convertible into an aggregate of 5,653,502,228 and 28,096,258 shares of common stock at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively were excluded in the computation of diluted loss per share at March 31, 2014 and 2013 as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments – The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, 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 a probability weighted average Black Scholes-Merton pricing model.

For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the Company uses the following hierarchy of inputs:

● Level one – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

● Level two – Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

● Level three – Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2014 are summarized as follows:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Derivative liability - conversion feature of debentures and related warrants	$	–	$	5,259,899	$	–	$	5,259,890
Derivative liability - embedded conversion feature and reset provisions of notes	$	–	$	2,279,190	$	–	$	2,279,190

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2013 are summarized as follows:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Derivative liability - conversion feature of debentures and related warrants	$	–	$	5,467,223	$	–	$	5,467,223
Derivative liability - embedded conversion feature and reset provisions of notes	$	–	$	2,441,192	$	–	$	2,441,192

Derivative Financial Instruments – The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model to value the derivative instruments. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Recently Issued Accounting Statements – In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360)." ASU 2014-08 amends the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations or that have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. This new accounting guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-08 on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

On February 26, 2014, the FASB affirmed changes in a November 2013 Exposure Draft, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, and directed the staff to draft a final Accounting Standards Update for vote by the FASB. This is intended to reduce the cost and complexity in financial reporting by eliminating inception-to-date information from the financial statements of development stage entities.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]

Subsequent Events

On April 24, 2014, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Stipulation, whereby an investor acquired $74,514 of past due liabilities of the Company and the Company allowed this investor to convert the acquired liabilities into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 50% of the market price.

Subsequent to March 31, 2014 the Company issued shares of common stock as follows:

· 742,692,659 to investors upon the conversion of notes payable and accrued interest;

· 2,909 to an investor for cash;

· 46,000,000 to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd for settlement of accrued liabilities; and

· 70,000,000 for payment of acquisitions (see below).

On April 17, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of the oil and gas assets of American Dynamic Resources, Inc. (ADR) and the Heavy Oil Technology and Intellectual Property. The assets of ADR consist of multiple leases in Montgomery, Labette and Wilson Counties in Kansas. The combined leases contain 140 oil wells and 17 gas wells within 3,527 acres. The purchase price for these oil and gas leases was $50,000 plus 35,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $63,000. We also acquired ADR's patents on Intellectual Properties covering 3 areas of Enhanced Oil Recovery: Air Lift, Thermal Enhancement and Reservoir Management. The purchase price for the patents was $75,000 plus 35,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $63,000.

On April 18, 2014, the Company purchased certain assets from Sunwest Group, LLC. The assets consisting of 18 leases in Montgomery, Labette and Wilson Counties in Kansas. The purchase price was $325,000. As additional consideration for its purchase of the assets the Company assumed the obligations and responsibilities with respect to the abandonment obligations up to the amount of $250,000. 

On May 6, 2011, the Company acquired certain assets from Montecito (see Notes 2, 6, and 7). 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 30,000 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 December 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 above. Pursuant to a Release and Settlement Agreement dated February 12, 2014 that has been signed and notarized by all parties involved, the matter has been settled and the operative terms of the settlement were recited into the record in open court on the day of trial. The result is that a judicially recognized compromise has been perfected under Louisiana law, which has the effect of extinguishing the underlying obligations the compromise is premised on. The Company’s obligations extinguished include a secured notes payable in the amount of $500,000 (see Note 5) and convertible debentures of approximately $2,450,000 (see Note 6). However, recording the conveyance of the lease interest and cancelling mortgages and UCC-1’s by the debt holders has not occurred. The debt holders have delayed in performing these obligations because they want to first undertake a degree of internal restructuring before accepting the royalty interest they negotiated to receive as a part of the settlement. The debt holders have indicated that, after they have formed an entity to receive the royalty interest, they will cancel the outstanding mortgages and UCC-1’s along with recording the documents conveying the various interests into the public records. The Company believes the conveyances will occur and that the matter has been settled. Below is an unaudited pro forma balance sheet that shows the pro forma impact of this settlement on the Company’s March 31, 2014 balance sheet:

The secured notes payable are generally secured with oil and gas properties, bear interest at rates ranging from 4.75% to 9% and some are convertible into shares of our common stock at discount of 93%. Our secured notes payable are in default at March 31, 2014. The Montecito Offshore LLC note is secured by a second lien mortgage, subordinated to the convertible debentures discussed below.  See discussion below about the Release and Settlement Agreement dated February 12, 2014. Certain notes contained a reset provision that provides that if the Company issues or sells any shares of common stock for consideration per share less than the conversion price of the notes, that the conversion price will be reduced to the amount of consideration per share of the stock issuance.

A roll forward of the secured notes payable from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014 is as follows:

Balance at December 31, 2013	$	620,512
Converted into common stock		(500	)

Montecito Offshore, L.L.C. (Vermillion 179)

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 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. The Company has entered into settlement discussions and has reached a preliminary settlement, but final documents remain to be signed as of the date of this Report.

The unsecured convertible promissory notes payable are generally due within one year from the date of issuance bear interest at rates ranging from 8% to 12% and are convertible into shares of our common stock at discounts ranging from 30% to 70%. Most of our unsecured convertible promissory notes payable are in default at March 31, 2014. Additionally, the notes have generally contained a reset provision that provides that if the Company issues or sells any shares of common stock for consideration per share less than the conversion price of the notes, that the conversion price will be reduced to the amount of consideration per share of the stock issuance.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company received proceeds of $149,000 pursuant to unsecured convertible promissory notes to various entities. The convertible promissory notes bear interest from 8% to 12% per annum, are convertible into shares of our common stock at discounts ranging from 49% to 70%, contain reset provisions, and are due from three months to 9 months after the issuance date. Under authoritative guidance of the FASB, due to the variable conversion prices and reset provisions, the Company accounted for the conversion features of these notes as instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions and are deemed to be derivative instruments (see Note 7). The Company determined the aggregate fair value of the derivative liabilities related to these notes was $334,056, of which $149,000 was recorded as note discount (up to the face amount of the notes) to be amortized over the term of the related notes, and the balance of $185,056 is recorded as current period interest expense.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company increased existing notes by $100,415 to reflect an increase in the principal amount of certain notes due to an event of default occurring. This was recorded in amortization of discount on convertible notes.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized interest expense from the amortization of discounts in the amount of $107,794 and $329,635, respectively.

The change in unsecured convertible promissory notes payable from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014 is as follows:

Balance at December 31, 2013	$	929,964
Issuance of new notes		149,000

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2014

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Organization Disclosure, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Organization – Paxton Energy, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 30, 2004. On January 27, 2012, Paxton Energy, Inc. changed its name to Worthington Energy, Inc. (the “Company”). On October 12, 2012, the Company’s stockholders approved a 1-for-10 reverse common stock split. In addition, on October 2, 2013 the Company effected a 1-for-50 reverse common stock split. All references in these 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.

Nature of Operations

Nature of Operations – As further described in Note 2 to these consolidated financial statements, the Company commenced acquiring working interests in oil and gas properties in June 2005.  We are in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing oil and gas-related assets. The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage due to the lack of significant revenues.

Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

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. 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, 2014, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and for the period from June 30, 2004 (date of inception), through March 31, 2014. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Worthington Energy, Inc., and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in its annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 17, 2013.

Going Concern

Going Concern – The accompanying 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 $178,357 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and $3,322,257 for year ended December 31, 2013. The Company also used cash of $147,111 in its operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and $228,024 during the year ended December 31, 2013, and a significant portion of the Company’s debt is in default. At March 31, 2014, the Company has a working capital deficit of $14,993,362 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $9,308,700. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Also, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s December 31, 2013 financial statements, has raised 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 its intended operating activities. There can be no assurance that such funds, if available, can be obtained, or if obtained, on terms reasonable to the Company. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On May 6, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of certain oil and gas properties located in the Vermillion 179 tract in the Gulf of Mexico, offshore from Louisiana. In December 2011, the seller of these oil and gas properties filed a lawsuit seeking to rescind the asset sale transaction. Pursuant to a Release and Settlement Agreement dated February 12, 2014 the Company agreed to convey its oil and gas properties for extinguishment of underlying obligations. The Company will account for the transaction in 2014 upon final settlement as an exchange of the oil and gas asset for the debt and an extinguishment of the related derivative liability (see Notes 2, 5, 6 and 11).

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of Worthington Energy, Inc. and of PaxAcq Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates – In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements relate to the valuation of long-lived assets, accrued other liabilities, and valuation assumptions related to share-based payments and derivative liability.

Oil and Gas Properties

Oil and Gas Properties – The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Under this method, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs and related asset retirement costs, are capitalized. Costs capitalized include acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties, and costs of drilling and equipping productive and nonproductive wells. Drilling costs include directly related overhead costs. Capitalized costs are categorized either as being subject to amortization or not subject to amortization.

All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, will be amortized, on the unit-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no capitalized costs subject to amortization. Investments in unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is charged to operations. The Company has not yet obtained a reserve report on its producing properties in Texas because the properties are considered to be in the exploration stage, management has not completed an evaluation of the properties, and the properties have had limited oil and gas exploration and production.

In addition, properties subject to amortization will be subject to a “ceiling test,” which basically limits such costs to the aggregate of the “estimated present value,” based on the projected future net revenues from proved reserves, discounted at 10% per annum to present value of future net revenues from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions, plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties.

Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations. Abandonments of properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no loss recognized.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition – All revenues are 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. Normally, 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.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based awards to employees expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award based on their grant date fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires management to make estimates for certain assumptions regarding risk-free interest rate, expected life of options, expected volatility of stock and expected dividend yield of stock.

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees and non-employee directors in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (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 for 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.

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 due to our net loss and have been excluded from the diluted loss per share calculations. As such, options, warrants, and stock awards to acquire 2,493,270 and 279,794 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and promissory notes and debentures convertible into an aggregate of 5,653,502,228 and 28,096,258 shares of common stock at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively were excluded in the computation of diluted loss per share at March 31, 2014 and 2013 as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Fair Values of Financial Instruments – The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, 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 a probability weighted average Black Scholes-Merton pricing model.

For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the Company uses the following hierarchy of inputs:

● Level one – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

● Level two – Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

● Level three – Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2014 are summarized as follows:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Derivative liability - conversion feature of debentures and related warrants	$	–	$	5,259,899	$	–	$	5,259,890
Derivative liability - embedded conversion feature and reset provisions of notes	$	–	$	2,279,190	$	–	$	2,279,190

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2013 are summarized as follows:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Derivative liability - conversion feature of debentures and related warrants	$	–	$	5,467,223	$	–	$	5,467,223
Derivative liability - embedded conversion feature and reset provisions of notes	$	–	$	2,441,192	$	–	$	2,441,192

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments – The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model to value the derivative instruments. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Recently Issued Accounting Statements

Recently Issued Accounting Statements – In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360)." ASU 2014-08 amends the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations or that have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. This new accounting guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-08 on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

On February 26, 2014, the FASB affirmed changes in a November 2013 Exposure Draft, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, and directed the staff to draft a final Accounting Standards Update for vote by the FASB. This is intended to reduce the cost and complexity in financial reporting by eliminating inception-to-date information from the financial statements of development stage entities.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

6. Convertible Debentures and Related Warrants (In Default)

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

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 400 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 $150.00 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 beginning July 1, 2011 and has not repaid the principal which matured on May 19, 2012. As such, the Company is in default on all unpaid principal and total accrued interest of $1,233,496 as of March 31, 2014. The default interest rate is 18% per annum. Interest on the convertible debentures has been accrued at 18% in the accompanying 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. Pursuant to a Release and Settlement Agreement dated February 12, 2014 that has been signed and notarized by all parties involved, the matter has been settled. The operative terms of the settlement were recited into the record in open court on the day of trial. The result is that a judicially recognized compromise has been perfected under Louisiana law, which has the effect of extinguishing the underlying obligations the compromise is premised on. The Company’s obligations expected to be extinguished include a secured note payable in the amount of $500,000 to Montecito Offshore, LLC (see Note 5) and the convertible debentures. However, recording the conveyance of the lease interest and cancelling mortgages and UCC-1’s by the debt holders has not occurred. The debt holders have delayed in performing these obligations because they want to first undertake a degree of internal restructuring before accepting the royalty interest they negotiated to receive as a part of the settlement. The debt holders have indicated that, after they have formed an entity to receive the royalty interest, they will cancel the outstanding mortgages and UCC-1’s along with recording the documents conveying the various interests in the public records (See Notes 2 and 11).

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 as a valuation discount at its fair value.  Upon issuance, the Company recorded a corresponding discount to the convertible debentures.

The carrying amount of the convertible debentures is $2,453,032 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. 

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.

7. Derivative Liabilities

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Liabilities

Under the authoritative guidance of the FASB on determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock, instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments. All of the notes described in Notes 4, 5 and 6 that contain a reset provision or have a conversion price that is a percentage of the market price contain embedded conversion features which are considered derivative liabilities to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations. The conversion feature of the Company’s Debentures (described in Note 6), and the related warrants, do not have fixed settlement provisions because their conversion and exercise prices, respectively, may be lowered if the Company issues securities at lower prices in the future. The Company was required to include the reset provisions in order to protect the holders of the Debentures from the potential dilution associated with future financings. In accordance with the FASB authoritative guidance, the conversion feature of the Debentures was separated from the host contract (i.e., the Debentures) and recognized as a derivative instrument. 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the derivative liabilities were valued using a probability weighted average Black Scholes-Merton pricing model with the following assumptions:

	March 31,		At Date of		December 31,
	2014		Issuance		2013
Conversion feature:
Risk-free interest rate		0.13%		0.11% - 0.13%		0.13%
Expected Volatility		431%		421% - 441%		425%
Expected life (in years)		.06 to .7		.5 to .8		.04 to .62
Expected dividend yield		0%		0%		0%
Warrants:
Risk-free interest rate		0.15%		N/A		0.13%
Expected Volatility		431%		N/A		425%
Expected life (in years)		1.3 to 2.93		N/A		1.6 to 3.6

Warrants		3,582		–		11,523
	$	7,539,089	$	334,056	$	7,908,415

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company uses the historical volatility of its common stock to estimate the future volatility for its common stock. The expected life of the convertible debentures and notes was determined by the maturity date of the notes. The expected life of the warrants was determined by their expiration dates. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends to its common stockholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to its common stockholders in the future.

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of the aggregate derivative liability of the conversion features and warrants was $7,539,089 and $7,908,415, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 the Company recorded a change in fair value of the derivative liability of $703,382 and $163,969, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized additional derivative liabilities of $334,056, related to the issuances of convertible promissory notes payable as described under Note 4.

Stock Options and Warrants

Stock Options and Compensation-Based Warrants

On September 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 40,000 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 consolidated balance sheet.

3. Payable to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd.

Payable To Ironridge Global Ltd [Text Block]

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 20,300 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 200 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 year ended December 31, 2012 and calculated that the Final Amount to be issued under the Order is 856,291 shares of common stock.  Additionally, during the year 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.

Since the issuance of the Initial Shares, the Company issued an additional 194,200 shares of common stock during the year ended December 31, 2012 (for an aggregate value of $531,689) which has been accounted for as the reduction of a proportionate amount of the calculated fair value of the original liability to Ironridge. During the year ended December 31, 2013 the Company issued an additional 6,550,000 shares of common stock to Ironridge with an aggregate value of $1,421,595. At that time, the Company believed it had a remaining obligation to Ironridge of $68,028. However, on February 24, 2014, Ironridge claimed that the Company’s failure to comply with prior order and stipulation has caused them harm and claimed that it was still owed $241,046. A judge awarded Ironridge a third order enforcing a prior order for approval of stipulation for settlement claim by requiring the Company to reserve 1,095,950,732 shares of the Company’s common stock until the balance of the claim is paid. On February 26, 2014, the Company issued to Ironridge 5,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $4,550 and at March 31, 2014, the balance due to Ironridge was $236,496.
