    Item 5.Other Events

    On March 11, 1997, WRT Energy Corporation ("WRT" or the "Company") and
    DLB Oil and Gas, Inc. and Wexford Management LLC, on behalf of its
    affiliated investment funds, jointly filed a Second Amended Joint Plan of
    Reorganization (the "Plan")  and Second Amended Disclosure Statement
    ("Disclosure Statement") in WRT's Chapter 11 bankruptcy case before the
    United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Louisiana,
    Lafayette-Opelousas Division (the "Court").  On May 5, 1997, an order
    was entered in the Chapter 11 case confirming the Plan.

    The Disclosure Statement, filed with the Court and distributed in
    connection with the Plan, contained, in Exhibit "F" attached thereto, a
    "Financial Analysis as of March 11, 1997" for WRT (the "Financial
    Analysis").  The Financial Analysis contained both historical financial
    statements for WRT and pro forma financial statements assuming
    confirmation of the Plan.  The Company has discovered that, due to an
    arithmetic error, the pro forma statements of operations for the Company,
    contained in the Financial Analysis, contained incorrect statements of the
    Pro Forma Earnings (Loss)

                                        1

    per Common Equivalent Share for each of the years ended December 31, 2000,
    1999, and 1998, and for the six months  ended December 31, 1997.

    The Company is filing this Report on Form 8-K to report the correct Pro
    Forma Earnings (Loss) per Common Equivalent Share for each of the pro
    forma periods, as follows:

    historical and projected    Statement of Operations for the periods
    ending  in 1994 through 2000, as set forth in Exhibit F to the Disclosure
    Statement, but with corrected information  concerning  Pro  Forma Earnings
    per Common  Equivalent  Share and Average Common Equivalent Shares
    Outstanding as set forth above.  The only changes from the Statement of
    Operations filed with Exhibit F to the Disclosure Statement are the changes
    in pro forma earnings per share and shares outstanding. This report is
    made for the purpose of correcting the arithmetic error described
    above and is  not to be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any
    the corrections contained herein.
