At June 30, 2011, Trans Energy had stockholders’ equity of $28,684,578 and a working capital deficit of $17,959,095. Revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2011 were not sufficient to cover its operating costs and interest expense to allow it to continue as a going concern. The potential proceeds from the sale of common stock, sale of drilling programs, and other contemplated debt and equity financing, and increases in operating revenues from new development could enable Trans Energy to continue as a going concern.
