              TRANS ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
         Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
              June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998

NOTE 1 - CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

       The accompanying consolidated financial statements have
       been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion
       of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
       recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
       financial position, results of operations and cash flows at
       June 30, 1999 and for all periods presented have been made.

       Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
       included in consolidated financial statements prepared in
       accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
       have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these
       condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
       conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
       included in the Company's December 31, 1998 audited
       consolidated financial statements.  The results of
       operations for the periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 are
       not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the
       full years.

NOTE 2 - LOSS ON VALUATION OF ASSETS

       On July 2, 1999, the Company sold assets with a depreciated
       basis of $2,842,961 for $400,000.  The loss on valuation of
       assets of $2,442,961 has been recorded to reflect the value
       of these assets per the sales transaction.




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

    The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to
total revenues of principal items contained in the Company's
Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.  It should be noted that
percentages discussed throughout this analysis are stated on an
approximate basis.

                                            June 30,             June 30,

    Total revenues for the three months ("second quarter") and six
months ("first half") ended June 30, 1999 increased 11% and 19%,
respectively, when compared with the three and six months ended
June 30, 1998.  This increase is primarily attributed to the
purchase of the Gulf Canada well interests located in Powder River
Basin of Wyoming.  Total costs and expenses as a percentage of
total revenues decreased from 187% in the second quarter of 1998 to
162% for the second quarter of 1999, and actual costs and expenses
decreased 4% during the same period.  This decrease is attributed
to the 5% decrease in cost of oil and gas due to the stable nature
of the Company's marketing arrangements and reallocation of certain
costs, and the 53% decrease in selling, general and administrative
expenses due to more efficient expense control related to increased
production.  The increase was partially offset by the 339% increase
in depreciation and amortization expenses due to the acquisition of
the Gulf Canada well interests.  As a percentage of total revenues,
total costs and expenses increased from 181% in the first half of
1998 to 316% for the first half of 1999.  Actual costs and expenses
increased 107% in the first half of 1999, primarily due to the
$954,374 increase in depreciation and amortization expenses and
partially offset by the 13% decrease in selling, general and
administrative expenses.

    The Company's net loss for the second quarter and first half
of 1999 was $2,922,855 and $4,694,696, respectively, compared to a
net loss of $67,837 and $282,210 for the 1998 periods.  This
increase in the Company's net loss is attributed primarily to the
Company's loss of $2,442,961 on the sale of assets in the second
quarter and the increase in depreciation and amortization.
    For the remainder of fiscal year 1999, management expects
selling, general and administrative expenses to remain at
approximately the same rate as for the first half of 1999.  The
cost of oil and gas produced is expected to fluctuate with the
amount produced and with prices of oil and gas, and management
anticipates that revenues are likely to increase during the
remainder of 1999.

Net Operating Losses

    The Company has accumulated approximately $12,320,000 of net
operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 1998, which may be
offset against future taxable income through the year 2014 when the
carryforwards expire.  The use of these losses to reduce future
income taxes will depend on the generation of sufficient taxable
income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss
carryforwards.

    In the event of certain changes in control of the Company,
there will be an annual limitation on the amount of net operating
loss carryforwards which can be used.  No tax benefit has been
reported in the financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1998 or three month period ended June 30, 1999 because
the potential tax benefits of the loss carryforward is offset by
valuation allowance of the same amount.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Historically, the Company's working capital needs have been
satisfied through its operating revenues and from borrowed funds.
Working capital at June 30, 1999 was a negative $7,691,248 compared
to a negative $6,812,876 at December 31, 1998.  This 13% change is
primarily attributed to the 17% increase in accounts payable and
16% in Debentures payable.

    The Company anticipates meeting its working capital needs
during the remainder of the current fiscal year with revenues from
operations, particularly from its newly acquired Gulf Canada
interests in Wyoming.  In the event revenues are not sufficient to
meet the Company's working capital needs, it will explore the
possibility of additional funding from either the sale of debt or
equity securities.  The Company has no current agreements or
arrangements for additional funding and there can be no assurance
such funding will be available to the Company or, if  available, it
will be on acceptable or favorable terms to the Company.

    As of June 30, 1999, the Company had total assets of
$6,861,980 and total stockholders' deficit of $2,037,988, compared
to total assets of $10,353,638 and total stockholders' equity of
$2,321,706 at December 31, 1998.  This decrease in assets and
stockholders' equity is attributed to the $2,537,497 increase in
accumulated depreciation due to the valuation of wells sold,
including a loss on valuation of assets of $2,442,961.

    At June 30, 1999, the Company had debentures payable of
$4,936,896, which represents certain convertible debentures that
matured during the first quarter of 1999.  The Company currently
anticipates that either the debentures will be converted into
common stock or the Company will attempt to negotiate an extension
to the maturity date.

    On July 2, 1999, the Company sold assets with a depreciated
basis of $2,842,961 for $400,000.  The loss on valuation of assets
of $2,442,961 has been recorded to reflect the value of these
assets per the sales transaction.  The Company has applied the
proceeds from the sale to general operating expenses.

Inflation

    In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a material
effect on the operations of the Company.

Year 2000

    Year 2000 issues may arise if computer programs have been
written using two digits (rather than four) to define the
applicable year.  In such case, programs that have time-sensitive
logic may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than
the year 2000, which could result in miscalculations or system
failures.

    The Company has completed its assessment of the Year 2000
issue and believes that any costs of addressing the issue will not
have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position.
The Company believes that its existing accounting computer systems
and software will not need to be upgraded to mitigate the Year 2000
issues.  The Company has not incurred any costs associated with its
assessment of the Year 2000 problem.  In the event that Year 2000
issues impact the Company's accounting operations and other
operations aided by its computer system, the Company believes, as
part of a contingency plan, that it has adequate personnel to
perform those functions manually until such time that any Year 2000
issues are resolved.

    The Company believes that third parties with whom it has
material relationships will not materially be affected by the Year
2000 issues as those third parties are relatively small entities
which do not rely heavily on information technology ("IT") systems
and non-IT systems for their operations.  However, if the Company
and third parties upon which it relies are unable to address any
Year 2000 issues in a timely manner, it could result in a material
financial risk to the Company, including loss of revenue and
substantial unanticipated costs.  Accordingly, the Company plans to
devote all resources required to resolve any significant Year 2000
issues in a timely manner.

                             PART II

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

    There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the
Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject
except as set forth below.

    On March 12, 1997, a complaint entitled F. Worthy Walker vs.
Loren Bagley, William Woodburn, Mark Woodburn, Trans Energy, Inc.
and Vulcan Energy Corporation, was filed in the District Court of
Dallas, Texas (# 9702304C).  The complaint alleges that the Company
breached certain contracts related to Mr. Walker's employment with
Vulcan Energy Corporation, and seeks punitive and exemplary
damages. The Company denies all allegations and intends to
vigorously defend its position.  Management believes that the
results of the proceedings will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company.  On February 17, 1998 the Company and the above
named defendants filed a countersuit against F. Worthy Walker
alleging breach of contract, fraud and fraudulent inducement,
conversion, and breach of fiduciary duty and seeks punitive
damages.

    The Company is also defending a lawsuit filed in 1998 in the
189th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas entitled
Baker Hughes Oilfield Operation, Inc. d/b/a Baker Hughes Inteq. vs.
Loren E. Bagley, Individually and Doing Business as Trans Energy,
Inc. (#98-48248).  This action is premised on an alleged breach of
contract and fraud and seeks to recover monetary damages in the
amount of $41,142, plus attorneys' fees, exemplary damages, costs
and interest.   The Company denies all allegations and intends to
vigorously defend its position.  Presently, the action is in the
early discovery phase.

    Also in 1998 an action was filed against the Company in the
234th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas entitled
Western Geophysical, a Division of Western Atlas international,
Inc. vs. Trans Energy, Inc. and Loren F. Bagley, Individually and
Doing Business as Trans Energy, Inc. (#98-58146).  In this action
the plaintiff alleges breach of contract and fraud and seeds to
recover monetary damages of $435,714, plus attorney's fees,
exemplary damages, costs of the suit and interest.  The Company is
presently attempting to negotiate a settlement in the matter.

    A foreign judgment has been filed with the circuit court in
Pleasants County, West Virginia for a judgment rendered by the
District Court in Harris County, Texas.  The judgment is for
$41,142 plus prejudgment interest and attorney's fees of $13,500.
No action has been taken to collect on this judgment.

Item 2.   Changes In Securities and Use of Proceeds

    During the first half of 1999, the Company issued 250,000
shares of common stock to five persons for services rendered to the
Company valued at $1.00 per share, 90,000 shares to two persons in
exchange for the conversion of debt at $.75 per share, and 174,264
shares to three persons upon the conversion of certain debentures.

    The above issuances of shares were made in private
transactions to persons possessing knowledge of the Company and
its business operations.  Accordingly, the Company relied upon the
exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"), provided by Section 4(2) of the Act.

Item 3.  Defaults Upon Senior Securities

    In 1998, the Company issued $4,625,400 face value of 8%
Secured Convertible Debentures due March 31, 1999 (the
"Debentures")  Interest is to accrue upon the date of issuance
until payment in full of the principal sum has been made or duly
provided for.  Holders of the Debentures shall have the option, at
any time, until maturity, to convert the principal amount of their
Debenture, or any portion of the principal amount which is at least
$10,000 into shares of the Company's Common Stock at a conversion
price for each share equal to the lower of (a) seventy percent
(70%) of the market price of the Company's Common Stock averaged
over the five trading days prior to the date of conversion, or (b)
the market price on the issuance date of the Debentures.  Any
accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable, at the option of the
Company, in cash or in shares of the Company's Common Stock valued
at the then effective conversion price.

    The Company has not repaid the Debentures and has not
finalized a registration statement under which the Debentures can
be converted into common stock.  The Company is attempting to
renegotiate the terms of the debenture or to extend their terms.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

    This Item is not applicable to the Company.

Item 5.  Other Information

    This Item is not applicable

Item 6.  Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

    (b)  Reports on Form 8-K

    During the three month period ended June 30, 1999, the Company
did not file any reports on Form 8-K.
