NOTE 3 - NOTE RECEIVABLE

Trans Energy held a promissory note agreement with Warren Drilling Co., Inc, an Ohio Corporation. The purpose of the promissory note was to fund certain drilling equipment necessary to equip the rig for horizontal drilling. An initial advance in the amount of $302,280 was made on December 22, 2008, with a second advance in the amount of $311,440 made on February 4, 2009. The note bears interest in the amount of 6.5% per annum, payable in monthly installments of $27,443 for 24 months. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the outstanding balance was $-0- and $27,295, respectively. The note was secured by equipment of Warren Drilling Co., for which an executed security agreement was filed with the promissory note. Trans Energy has evaluated their relationship with Warren Drilling and has determined that Trans Energy does not have a controlling financial interest in Warren Drilling which would require consolidation.
