CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. Any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. When we use the words “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “believes,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “will” and similar expressions, we are identifying forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements.  These factors include our limited experience with our business plan; unexercised options to acquire land suitable for our business; unconstructed bio-energy production facilities; integration and deployment of acquired assets; pricing pressures on our product caused by competition, sensitivity to corn prices and bio-oils, the demand for bio-fuels, the capital cost of construction, the cost of energy, the cost of production, and the price and production of diesel and gasoline; our dependency on one proposed plant; the status of the federal bio-fuel incentives and our compliance with regulatory impositions; the continuing world interest in alternative energy sources; and our capital needs.  

Except as may be required by applicable law, we do not undertake or intend to update or revise our forward-looking statements, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this report as a result of new information or future events or developments. Thus, you should not assume that our silence over time means that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. You should carefully review and consider the various disclosures we make in this report and our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that may affect our business.



Statements made in this Form 10-Q (the "Quarterly Report") that are not historical or current facts are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These statements often can be identified by the use of terms such as "may", "will", "expect", "believe", "anticipate", "estimate", "approximate", or "continue", or the negative thereof. Wentworth VII, Inc. (the "Company") intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors for such statements. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Any forward-looking statements represent management's best judgment as to what may occur in the future. However, forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and important factors beyond the control of the Company that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from historical results of operations and events and those presently anticipated or projected. These factors include adverse economic conditions, entry of new and stronger competitors, inadequate capital and unexpected costs. The Company disclaims any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
General
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Wentworth VII, Inc. (the “Company”) are presented in accordance with the requirements for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which were of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company on a consistent basis, have been made.

These results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and practices applied consistently with those used in the preparation of the Company's financial statements for the cumulative period From July 2, 2007 (Inception) to December 31, 2008.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.

The Company recommends that the accompanying financial statements for the interim period be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements for the cumulative period From July 2, 2007 (Inception) to December 31, 2008 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on March 4, 2009.

Organization and Business
Wentworth VII, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 2, 2007.   The Company is a new enterprise in the development stage as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises (“SFAS No. 7”).  The Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. The Company’s principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. The Company will not restrict its potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business.

Going Concern
Since its inception, the Company has generated no revenues and has incurred a net loss of $79,473. Since inception, the Company has been dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund its continuing activities. The Company has not identified any business combination and therefore, cannot ascertain with any degree of certainty the capital requirements for any particular transaction. In addition, the Company is dependent upon certain related parties to provide continued funding and capital resources. These factors indicate substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been presented on the basis of the continuation of the Company as a going concern and do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS No. 109”), which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets at currently enacted tax rates for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance is recognized to reduce the net deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”).  FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109.  FIN 48 prescribed that a company should use a more likely-than-not recognition threshold based on the technical merits of the tax position taken.  Tax positions that meet the more likely-than-not threshold should be measured in order to determine the tax benefit to be recognized in the financial statements.  FIN 48 was effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2007.  The Company has reviewed FIN 48 and believes it has no uncertainties with regard to its tax positions.  Should uncertainties arise, the Company shall adopt a tax position that is more likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents, if any, include all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"), which provides a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures which are required about fair value measurements.   Specifically, SFAS 157 sets forth a definition of fair value and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs. The adoption of this statement had no impact on the Company's financial statements. SFAS 157 defines the hierarchy as follows:

 
Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are highly and actively traded instruments with quoted prices, such as equities on the New York Stock Exchange.

 
Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in markets, but are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities or contracts, or priced with models using highly observable inputs.

 
Level 3 - Significant inputs to pricing that are unobservable as of the reporting date. The types of assets and liabilities in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring management judgment or estimation, such as complex subjective models and forecasts used to determine the fair value of financial transmission rights.

Notes to Financial Statements

Net Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.  The Company currently has no dilutive securities and as such, basic and diluted loss per share are the same for all periods presented.

Registration Payment Arrangements
The Company is accounting for the registration rights and related penalty provisions in accordance with FASB Staff Position No. EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements (“FSP EITF 00-19-2”). Accordingly, as the registration rights are only exercisable if the Company completes a business combination with a private company in a reverse merger or reverse take-over transaction, any potential penalties associated with such registration rights (that would require the Company to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration to the Stockholders) are not currently probable or estimable and therefore no amounts have been recognized for such contingent obligations in the accompanying balance sheets or statements of operations.

Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss is defined as all changes in stockholders’ equity, exclusive of transactions with owners, such as capital investments. Comprehensive loss includes net loss, changes in certain assets and liabilities that are reported directly in equity such as translation adjustments on investments in foreign subsidiaries and unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities. For the Period From July 2, 2007 (Inception) to March 31, 2009, the Company’s comprehensive loss was the same as its net loss.

3.
Note Payable – Related Party
 
In July of 2007, the Company borrowed $35,000 from Keating Investments, LLC (“Keating Investments”), a related party to the Company’s sole officer and director, under an unsecured promissory note bearing interest at 8.25% per annum, with principal and interest due and payable upon demand. Kevin R. Keating, the Company’s sole officer and director, is the father of the managing member of Keating Investments.

In February of 2008, the Company repaid all outstanding notes payable due and accrued interest to related parties using a portion of the proceeds raised from the issuance of common stock in a private offering to accredited and non-accredited investors in February 2008 (see Note 4).

For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the period from July 2, 2007 (Inception) through March 31, 2009, the Company recognized $0, $245, and $1,693, respectively, of interest expense in relation to this outstanding related party note payable.

Stockholders’ Equity
 
Pursuant to its certificate of incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share.  At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there were 6,200,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

In July of 2007, the Company issued 125,000 shares of common stock to Kevin R. Keating for cash consideration of $0.0001 per share (par value), resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of $12.50.

In July of 2007, the Company issued 4,375,000 shares of common stock to Keating Asia, Inc., a British Virgin Islands Corporation, for cash consideration of $0.0001 per share (par value), resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of $437.50.

On February 15, 2008, the Company sold 1,700,000 shares of common stock in a private offering to both accredited and non-accredited investors at $0.05 per share, for total gross proceeds of $85,000 and also incurring $5,725 in expenses associated with the offering.

Each of the above issuance of common stock were issued under an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended by Regulation D promulgated thereunder.  As a result, such shares are restricted shares where each holder thereof may not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of such shares without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom.

The Company has also granted demand and piggyback registration rights to the holders of its issued and outstanding common stock. However, such registration rights are only exercisable if the Company completes a business combination with a private company in a reverse merger or reverse take-over transaction.

Registration Rights
In September 2007, the Company granted demand and piggyback registration rights to its current stockholders (the “Stockholders”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, commencing on the date that is thirty days after the date the Company completes a business combination with a private company in a reverse merger or reverse take-over transaction (a “Reverse Merger”), the Stockholders shall each have a separate one-time right to request the Company to register for resale the shares of common stock, (the “Common Stock”) held by such persons. The Company is required to cause the registration statement filed as a result of such requests to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) as promptly as possible after filing and must keep the registration statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) two years after its effective date, (ii) such time as all of the shares of Common Stock covered by such registration statement have been publicly sold by the Stockholders, or (iii) such time as all of the shares of Common Stock covered by such registration statement may be sold by the Stockholders pursuant to Rule 144(k).

Wentworth VII, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

The registration rights granted to the Stockholders shall terminate on the earliest date when all shares of Common Stock of the Stockholders either: (i) have been publicly sold by the Stockholders pursuant to a registration statement, (ii) have been covered by an effective registration statement which has been effective for an aggregate period of twelve months (whether or not consecutive), or (iii) may be sold by the Stockholders pursuant to Rule 144(k), or Rule 144 without regard to the volume limitations for sales as provided under Rule 144.

The Registration Rights Agreement provides for penalties in the event the Company does not file a registration statement pursuant to the terms set forth therein or fails to act in certain other respects prescribed in the Registration Rights Agreement (an “Event”). On the date of an Event and on each monthly anniversary of each Event (if the Event has not been cured), the Company is required to pay to each Stockholder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.5% of the value of such unregistered shares of Common Stock as of the date of the Reverse Merger, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company based on the offering price of securities sold by the Company in a securities offering consummated simultaneously with the Reverse Merger or, if no such securities offering has occurred, in good faith by the Board of Directors (the “Value”) for any unregistered shares of Common Stock then held by such Stockholder. The maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to any Stockholder by the Company is capped at 15% of the Value.  

Additionally, if within 12 months after closing of a Reverse Merger, registration statements covering all of the shares of Common Stock are not effective, the Stockholders will each have an option to require the Company to repurchase all of the Stockholder’s shares of Common Stock for an amount equal to the Value.

The Company is accounting for the registration rights and related penalty provisions in accordance with FASB Staff Position No. EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements (“FSP EITF 00-19-2”). Accordingly, as the registration rights are only exercisable if the Company completes a business combination with a private company in a reverse merger or reverse take-over transaction, any potential penalties associated with such registration rights (that would require the Company to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration to the Stockholders) are not currently probable or estimable and therefore no amounts have been recognized for such contingent obligations in the accompanying balance sheets or statements of operations.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed financial statements and the related notes included in this report.

Description of Business

The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 2, 2007 and maintains its principal executive office at 190 Lakeview Way, Vero Beach, Florida 32963. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in organizational efforts and obtaining initial financing.  The Company was formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination through the acquisition of, or merger with, an operating business.  The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form 10-SB with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 20, 2007, and since its effectiveness, the Company has focused its efforts to identify a possible business combination.

The Company, based on proposed business activities, is a “blank check” company. The SEC defines those companies as "any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning of Section 3(a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies." Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. The Company is also a “shell company,” defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act as a company with no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in our securities, either debt or equity, until we have successfully concluded a business combination. The Company intends to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as we are subject to those requirements.

The Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. The Company’s principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with an operating business. The Company will not restrict its potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business.

The Company currently does not engage in any business activities that provide cash flow.  During the next twelve months we anticipate incurring costs related to:

(i)  filing Exchange Act reports, and
(ii) investigating, analyzing and consummating an acquisition.

We believe we will be able to meet these costs through use of funds in our treasury, through deferral of fees by certain service providers and additional amounts, as necessary, to be loaned to or invested in us by our stockholders, management or other investors.
11

The Company may consider acquiring a business which has recently commenced operations, is a developing company in need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, is seeking to develop a new product or service, or is an established business which may be experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional capital. In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares while avoiding, among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and loss of voting control which may occur in a public offering.

Since our Registration Statement on Form 10-SB went effective, our management has had contact and discussions with representatives of other entities regarding a business combination with us. Any target business that is selected may be a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stages of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings. In that event, we will be subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, we may effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, and, although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risks.

The Company anticipates that the selection of a business combination will be complex and extremely risky. Because of general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, our management believes that there are numerous firms seeking even the limited additional capital which we will have and/or the perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation. Such perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation include, among other things, facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be obtained, providing liquidity for the principals of and investors in a business, creating a means for providing incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, and offering greater flexibility in structuring acquisitions, joint ventures and the like through the issuance of stock. Potentially available business combinations may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2009, the Company had assets equal to $13,752, comprised exclusively of cash and cash equivalents.  This compares with assets of $17,021, comprised exclusively of cash and cash equivalents, as of December 31, 2008.  The Company’s current liabilities as of March 31, 2009 totaled $13,500, comprised exclusively of accrued expenses.  This compares to the Company’s current liabilities as of December 31, 2008 of $10,169, comprised exclusively of accrued expenses.  The Company can provide no assurance that it can continue to satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

The following is a summary of the Company's cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, for the period from July 2, 2007 (inception) to March 31, 2009:

The Company has nominal assets and has generated no revenues since inception. The Company is also dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund its ongoing operations and to execute its business plan of seeking a combination with a private operating company. In addition, the Company is dependent upon certain related parties to provide continued funding and capital resources. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, the Company may not be able to implement its plan of operations.

Results of Operations

The Company has not conducted any active operations since inception, except for its efforts to locate suitable acquisition candidates. No revenue has been generated by the Company from July 2, 2007 (inception) to March 31, 2009.  It is unlikely the Company will have any revenues unless it is able to effect an acquisition or merger with an operating company, of which there can be no assurance.  It is management's assertion that these circumstances may hinder the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s plan of operation for the next twelve months shall be to continue its efforts to locate suitable acquisition candidates. 

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company had a net loss of $6,600, comprised of (a) audit fees of $3,000 incurred in relation to the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, (b) management fees of $3,000 incurred in relation to a broad range of managerial and administrative services provided by Vero Management, LLC ("Vero"), (c) transfer agent fees of $75, and (d) Edgar filing fees of $525. For the three months ending March 31, 2008, the Company incurred $11,805 comprised of (a) legal, accounting, audit and other professional service fees of $7,947 incurred in relation to the Company’s private placement offering in February of 2008 and its filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB in March of 2008; (b) management fees of $3,000 incurred in relation to a broad range of managerial and administrative services provided by Vero Management, LLC, (c) interest expense of $245 and (d) miscellaneous expenses of $613.

For the cumulative period from July 2, 2007 (inception) to March 31, 2009, the Company had a net loss of $79,473, comprised primarily of legal, accounting, audit and other professional service fees incurred in relation to the formation of the Company, the filing of the Company’s quarterly and annual reports, and the Company’s private placement offering in February of 2008.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company's critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company's financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions. We have identified in Note 2 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report certain critical accounting policies that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
