Wentworth Energy, Inc.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.    Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Wentworth Energy, Inc. (“Wentworth” or the “Company”) is an exploration and production company engaged in oil and gas exploration and production in East Texas. The Company’s strategy is to lease all of its property in exchange for royalty interests and working interest participation in shallow zones.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Wentworth Energy, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the SEC and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Wentworth Energy, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the SEC on May 18, 2009. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

a)   Going concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, and therefore be required to realize its assets and retire its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying financial statements. However, the Company has incurred significant, recurring losses from operations, has a working capital deficiency, and is in default of the terms of its senior secured convertible notes and convertible debentures. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations, receiving deferrals of the interest payments due and a waiver of its defaults of the amended debt agreements from its senior secured convertible note holders and convertible debenture holder, and injection of additional capital. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. Management of the Company is actively seeking potential partners who possess the necessary resources to assist the Company in developing its remaining properties in order to secure additional funds through lease bonuses and overriding royalty interests.

b)  Earnings (loss) per share

The following represents the calculation of net loss per common share:

Diluted loss per share available to common stockholders	$               (0.02)	$               (0.01)	$               (0.08)	$            (0.01)

Common stock equivalents, including stock options and warrants, totaling 273.5 million and 273.4 million shares, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive due to the net losses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and the six months ended June 30, 2009.  Common stock equivalents of 19.9 million shares were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2008 because the grant

8

---

prices were greater than the average market prices of the common shares and the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Weighted average diluted number of shares outstanding for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 were previously reported as 186,695,203 and 186,268,398, respectively, and have been restated to include shares issuable upon conversion of the senior secured convertible notes and/or convertible debentures.  This restatement did not have a material effect on the Company’s diluted earnings (loss) per share.

c)  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2009 the Company adopted the following accounting pronouncements: FASB Statement No. 161 , “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133;” SFAS No. 141R (revised 2007), “ Business Combinations;” and SFAS No. 160, “ Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51.” None of these pronouncements had a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” (FAS 107-1) to amend SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” and APB 28, “Interim Financial Reporting.” FAS 107-1 changes the reporting requirements on certain fair value disclosures of financial instruments to include interim reporting periods. FAS 107-1 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption encouraged. Adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” (FAS 157-4) to amend SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (SFAS 157). FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased. In addition, FAS 157-4 includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In July 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, (“SFAS 168”), which replaces FASB Statement No, 162 (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 168 established The FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  When the Codification is in effect, all of its content will carry the same level of authority.  This change will effectively supersede SFAS 162.  SFAS 168 becomes effective September 15, 2009.  The FASB does not expect that SFAS 168 will result in a change in current practice, and the Company does not believe that SFAS 168 will have an impact on operating results, financial position or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 states that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14 and that issuers of such instruments should account separately for the liability and equity components of the instruments in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and must be applied

9

---

retrospectively to all periods presented. Adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-5”). Paragraph 11(a) of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No 133 “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF 07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. EITF 07-5 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008, and early adoption is prohibited. On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted EITF 07-5 and the adoption of this statement had no material effect on its financial statements.

In June 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached final consensuses on EITF Issue 08-4, “ Transition Guidance for Conforming Changes to Issue No. 98-5. ” Certain conclusions reached in EITF Issue No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios ,” were nullified in EITF Issue No. 00-27, “ Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments .” Moreover, some of the conclusions in Issue No. 98-5 and Issue No. 00-27 were superseded by SFAS No. 150 , “ Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity .” While the conclusions reached in Issue No. 98-5 were subsequently updated to reflect the issuance of Issue No. 00-27 and SFAS No. 150, the transition guidance in Issue No. 98-5 was not revised. On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted EITF 08-4. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Effective this quarter, the Company implemented SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”). This standard establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after June 30, 2009 up through August 14, 2009, the date the Company issued these financial statements.  During this period, the Company did not have any material recognizable subsequent events. However, the Company did have nonrecognizable subsequent events as disclosed in Footnote 9.

d) Correction of Error and Reclassifications

The Company identified an error in the recognition of stock compensation in 2007 and restated its financial statements on Form 10-KSB/A – Amendment #2 for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on February 11, 2009. Prior to identifying the 2007 error the Company recorded $411,429 and $795,877 of stock compensation in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, which was recorded as general and administration expenses. The June 30, 2008 general and administration expenses in the financial statements herein have been adjusted to reflect the correction of this error which was not qualitatively significant to that period. In addition, certain reclassifications have been made to the comparative financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.

3.  Embedded Derivative Liabilities

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had the following embedded derivative liabilities outstanding:

	Convertible Debentures	Senior Secured  Convertible Notes	Private Placement Warrants	Total Derivative Liabilities
	Conversion Feature	Warrants	Conversion Feature	Warrants
Derivative liabilities, December 31, 2008	$  784,319	$            -	$   26,530	$  513,870	$   1,306	$  1,326,025
Warrants previously recorded as derivatives	(60,531)	-	-	-	-	(60,531)
Unrealized (gains) losses included in other revenue (expense) in the statements of operations	(475,657)	-	(26,530)	1,821	505	(499,861)
Derivative liabilities, June 30, 2009	$   248,131	$           -	$               -	$  515,691	$   1,811	$     765,633

During 2006, the Company issued convertible debentures with a conversion feature based on the market value of the Company’s stock at the date of conversion. The conversion feature was evaluated under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19 and was determined under EITF 00-19 to have characteristics of a liability and is therefore a derivative liability under SFAS 133. The conversion price is variable, which caused the Company to conclude it is possible to have an insufficient number of common shares available to share-settle the convertible debentures, the senior secured convertible notes, also issued in 2006, and the related warrants. This caused the senior secured convertible notes and warrants not otherwise subject to SFAS 123R to also be classified as derivative liabilities under SFAS 133. Each reporting period, this derivative liability is fair valued with the non-cash gain or loss recorded in the period as a gain or loss on derivatives.

Unrealized gains and losses, at fair value, are included in the balance sheets as current liabilities. Changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities are recorded in earnings at the end of each quarter, and included in other revenue (expense) in the statements of operations.

4.  Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures the fair value of its derivative liabilities using the fair value model of SFAS No. 157. As required by SFAS 157, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset of liability since limited market data exists. These inputs are developed based on the best information available, using internal and external data.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of June 30, 2009.

5.  Loss on Discontinued Operations

In May 2008, the Company sold all of its outstanding shares in Barnico Drilling, Inc., a former wholly-owned subsidiary, to CamTex Energy, Inc., a corporation in which George Barnes, the Company’s former Vice President of Operations, is an officer.  In August 2008, the purchaser defaulted on the note and the Company repossessed the drilling and related equipment.  The equipment was sold at auction in June 2009 for total proceeds of $0.9 million.  The book value of the equipment at that date was $2.0 million and the selling expenses were $110,000, therefore the Company recognized a loss on the sale of the equipment of $1.2 million at the time of the sale.  Cash proceeds of $0.2 million were received in June 2009 and an account receivable of $0.7 million was recorded.  The Company received payment of the account receivable in July 2009.  This loss has been reported in the statements of operations as a loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  The loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 also includes an impairment charge of $0.3 million for a total loss of $1.5 million.

6.  Debt

The Company is in default of the terms of its senior secured convertible notes and its convertible debentures effective as of October 1, 2008 due to insufficient funds to make required payments on the debt. The senior secured convertible note holders and convertible debenture holders have denied further waiver of the default and deferral of the interest payments. Under the terms of the senior secured convertible notes, the interest rate escalated from 9.15% to 15% per annum effective on the date of the default. Interest on the convertible debentures continues to accrue at 10% per annum. The principal amount of both the senior secured convertible notes and the convertible debentures are reported as current liabilities in the Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Senior Secured Convertible Notes Payable

The Company has senior secured convertible notes (the “convertible notes”) outstanding, with a principal amount totaling $53.8 million as of June 30, 2009, and Series A warrants to purchase 51,500,742 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.001 per share, as well as Series B warrants to purchase 17,925,524 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.65 per share. As of December 31, 2008, the outstanding principal totaled $53.8 million and the Company had Series A warrants to purchase 51,500,742 shares of common stock at $0.001 per share and Series B warrants to purchase 17,925,524 shares of common stock at $0.65 per share. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the notes and the accrued interest were convertible into common stock at the holders’ option at a rate of $0.65 per share. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, accrued interest totaled $8.2 million and $4.5 million, respectively.

12

---

As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the derivative liabilities attributed to the embedded conversion feature and the warrants issued in connection with the convertible notes had a fair market value of $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities resulted in a non-cash loss of $77,000 and a non-cash gain of $25,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.  The change resulted in a non-cash gain of $9.6 million and a non-cash gain of $15.2 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

Convertible Debentures Payable

The Company has 10% secured convertible debentures (the “debentures”) outstanding, with a principal amount of $1.2 million as of June 30, 2009 and $1.3 million at December 31, 2008. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, accrued interest totaled approximately $216,000 and $154,000, respectively.

The debentures were convertible at the option of the debenture holder into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.65 per share until April 30, 2008 and thereafter are convertible at a price per share equal to the lower of $0.65 or 85% of the lowest volume weighted average daily closing price of the Company’s common stock during the 15 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. During the three months ended June 30, 2009 principal was reduced by $27,500 upon the conversion of debentures into 6,425,328 shares of common stock.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009 principal was reduced by $100,400 upon the conversion of debentures into 19,871,956 shares of common stock.

As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 the derivative liability attributed to the debentures had a fair market value of $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities resulted in a non-cash gain of $1.8 million and a non-cash gain of $0.5 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.  The change resulted in a non-cash gain of $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

Overview

We are an exploration and production company engaged in oil and gas exploration, drilling and development. We currently have oil and gas interests in Anderson County, Freestone County and Jones County, Texas. Our strategy is to lease all of our properties in exchange for royalty interests and working interest participation in the shallow zones. Due to our lack of adequate financial resources, we may utilize joint ventures or farm-outs to develop our properties.

Our financial position is critically dependent upon the following: (1) successful discovery and economical recovery of adequate hydrocarbons on our properties; (2) access to additional equity and/or other forms of funding; (3) finding a joint venture partner to farm-in and develop our properties; and (4) obtaining a forbearance and deferral of interest and principal payments from the holders of our senior secured convertible notes and convertible debentures. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in any of these matters.  As the Company has no debt or equity funding commitments, we will need to rely upon best efforts financings. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising the required capital. The failure to raise sufficient capital through future debt or equity financings or otherwise may force us to curtail operations, sell assets, or it may result in the failure of our business

Our current production is derived from two wells, namely Shiloh #1 and #3 in Freestone County. Shiloh #3 was recompleted from the Cotton Valley zone to the Rodessa zone during June 2008. Most of the production comes from Shiloh #3 with an average daily gross production of 800 MCF of gas. We own a 38.75% and 38.5% net revenue interest in Shiloh #1 and #3, respectively, and were the operator of these wells until June 30, 2009.  Effective July 1, 2009, the operation of the working interest wells, including the Shiloh #1 and #3, was transferred to a local East Texas oil and gas company.

Due to a lack of capital, we have deferred all drilling activity since the latter part of 2007. However, during this period, we were resolving title issues, continued to generate a number of low risk and offset drilling locations, and examine other zones in existing well bores for possible recompletion. We expect this will significantly reduce the lead time to commence drilling if sufficient new capital becomes available. Above all, we have been actively seeking industry partners to lease from us the remaining undeveloped parts of our properties. We have met and discussed this opportunity with a number of oil and gas companies and we are in advanced stages of discussions with two potential partners.  However, we can provide no assurance that an agreement will be reached.

Our former wholly-owned subsidiary, Barnico Drilling, Inc., experienced a significant decline in drilling revenue commencing in the second half of 2007 and due to a lack of capital, we were unable to utilize Barnico’s resources to drill our own properties. In order to recoup part of our investment, we sold all of the outstanding shares of Barnico during the second quarter of 2008 to CamTex Energy, Inc., a corporation in which George Barnes, our former Vice President of Operations, is an officer.

In August 2008, CamTex Energy, Inc. defaulted on the terms of the sale and we repossessed the Barnico drilling rigs and related equipment during March 2009.  Since then we were unsuccessful in marketing them through various channels. The repossessed assets were eventually sold for the net amount of approximately $0.9 million by auction on June 18, 2009 resulting in a loss of $1.2 million, which is reported in our Statement of Operations for the six-months ended June 30, 2009.

17

---

We have not paid the quarterly interest payments on our senior secured convertible notes of approximately $1.32 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 and approximately $1.85 million per quarter during each of the subsequent three quarters. Payments of interest were due to the holders of our senior secured convertible notes on October 1, 2008, January 1, 2009, April 1, 2009, and July 1, 2009. We do not have sufficient funds to make these payments. With respect to the senior secured convertible notes, we were granted a forbearance and deferral of interest payment until January 1, 2009. Since January 1, 2009 the note holders have declined to grant further waivers of default and deferrals of the quarterly interest payments and accordingly, we are in default of the terms of the notes.

An event of default under the terms of our convertible notes constitutes a default under the terms of our outstanding convertible debentures. We were also unable to make the principal and interest payment on the convertible debentures which was due on January 11, 2009. The senior secured convertible note holders and the convertible debenture holder have not commenced collection actions against the Company. However, there is no assurance that they will not do so in the future.

Due to our inability to make the payments required on the convertible debentures and the senior secured convertible notes, we are in default of these agreements effective October 1, 2008. Under the terms of the senior secured convertible notes, the interest rate escalated to 15% upon default. Interest on the convertible debentures continues to accrue interest at 10%. The principal amount of both the senior secured convertible notes and the convertible debentures are reported as current liabilities in our financial statements due to the defaults.    

During June, 2009 we successfully negotiated a six-month lease extension with Marathon (the “Lessee”) on a 9,200-acre deep-well lease (see “ Mineral Lease and Joint Operating Agreement” below) . The lessee’s current lease on the property expires November 1, 2009. The extension will give the Lessee until April 2010 to drill additional deep Bossier/Haynesville formation wells on the entire portion of the 9,200-acre lease.  In return for the six-month extension, the Lessee has assigned 100% of its working interest (with a 75% net revenue interest) in the Lessee’s shallow leases on the mineral block to us.  The shallow leases are from the surface down to approximately 8,500 feet and include additional rights to explore the Pettit formation.

We are continuing to develop drill locations in this acreage. To date, we have identified three well sites which are being reviewed by a local potential joint venture partner.  Our intention is for the potential joint venture partner to bear the entire costs of drilling and completion with Wentworth earning a royalty interest.  Subject to the noteholders’ forbearance, we may use our limited available financial resources to selectively participate in drilling (at the working interest level) in order to achieve a greater net revenue interest on a well-by-well basis.  However, we can provide no assurance that a joint venture agreement can be reached or that we could participate in any future drilling.

In the short term, management continues to reduce administrative overhead and operate within the revenue generated from the Shiloh #3 well and royalty interests from other wells.  

Notwithstanding the above, management continues to explore other opportunities, including joint ventures, mergers and sale of property.

Mineral Lease and Joint Operating Agreement

In November 2006, we signed two three-year oil, gas & mineral leases and a joint operating agreement with Marathon Oil Company and its affiliate (together, “Marathon”) to explore approximately 9,200 acres of our P.D.C. Ball Property in Freestone County, Texas. The agreements give Marathon the right to drill deep gas wells on the property (below 8,500 feet) and the opportunity to partner with us on drilling upper zones (above 8,500 feet) on a 50/50 basis. We retained a 21.5% royalty interest in any revenue generated

18

---

from the property below 8,500. As previously discussed, in June 2009, Marathon assigned the upper zones (above 8.500 ft) back to Wentworth and the deep-well leases were extended to April 2010.

  

Marathon began drilling its first deep well (M-1) of approximately 15,000 feet during the latter part of the third quarter of 2008. Drilling of M-1 was completed during December 2008. This well has not been perforated for production. Accordingly, it could be dry or produce an amount of salt water that would make the well uneconomical to operate. No reserve value is given to this well due to its current status.

Since oil and gas prices have strengthened over the last quarter, we have been getting more inquiries of our remaining approximately 18,000 gross acres of our P.D.C. Ball Property.

Freestone County, Texas Shiloh Well #1 and #3

The Shiloh #1 and #3 wells were existing wells and have produced natural gas since the 1970s. They are located on 640 acres within the P.D.C. Ball Property. Total production from these wells during fiscal 2008, was 201 MMCF compared to 57 MMCF during fiscal 2007. During the first two quarters of 2009, the Shiloh wells produced approximately 157 MMCF versus 35 MMCF over the same period in 2008. The reduced production during 2007 and first two quarters of 2008 was attributed to down-hole problems of Shiloh #3. Production of gas from Shiloh #3 was suspended for remedial work, which was completed in June 2008. After the remedial work, the Shiloh #3 well has a stabilized average daily flow rate of 800 MCF of gas on a 14/64 ^th choke. The flowing tubing pressure is 650 psig and the calculated Absolute Open Flow is 1.2 million cubic feet per day. Production from Shiloh #1 remained substantially unchanged at nominal volume of 15.1 MMCF for the two quarters of 2009 and we do not have plans for further remedial work on it until funds are available.

Results of Operations

Overview

We experienced net losses of $1.5 million and $5.3 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to net income of $6.0 million and $7.0 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in net income was principally due to the decrease in the non-cash gain on the derivative liabilities as a result of the change in their fair values. There was a non-cash gain of $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to a non-cash gain of $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. There was a non-cash gain of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to a non-cash gain of $15.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease in income was partially offset by decreases in general and administrative costs and finance and interest costs as more fully explained below.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2009, Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2008

Revenues

Revenue from oil and gas sales was $134,820 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $142,139 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Although production was higher during this quarter in 2009 due to remedial work done on the Shiloh #3 well completed in June 2008, it was offset by lower oil and gas prices in 2009. Total oil and gas revenue for the three months ending June 30, 2009 was derived primarily from royalties of approximately $28,000 and production from Shiloh #1 and #3 of approximately $107,000.

Operating Expenses

Our operating costs totaled $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The $0.3 million decrease in expenses was primarily due to the decrease of $0.3 million in general and administrative expenses discussed below and small increases in depletion and production costs due to higher production volumes.

Total general and administrative costs were $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, versus $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a net decrease of $0.3 million. The following comparative table provides detail of the most significant general and administrative costs:

	Three months ended June 30,		Increase (Decrease)
	2009	2008
Wages	$            12,672	$        39,600	$      (26,928)
Legal fees	14,210	137,179	(122,969)
Audit and accounting fees	147,232	184,660	(37,428)
Management and consulting services	83,940	176,040	(92,100)

Wages decreased during the second quarter of 2009 as compared to 2008 due to a reduction in the number of employees employed by the company in 2009. As a result of a number of lawsuits that were active during the second quarter of 2008, as well as various SEC filings under way during that time period, legal fees during that period were higher than during the second quarter of 2009. The decrease in audit and accounting fees for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008 was also due to various SEC filings under way during early 2008.  Management and consulting services decreased by $92,100 during the second quarter of 2009 as compared to 2008, due to the resignation of two of the consultants in late 2008.

Finance and Interest Costs

Finance and interest costs were $1.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009, which represented a decrease of $1.6 million from the three months ended June 30, 2008. Finance and interest costs relate primarily to interest accrued on our senior secured convertible notes and our convertible debentures, and amortization of the debt discount related to the senior secured convertible notes. Due to our default on the senior secured convertible notes and convertible debentures, the debt discount and deferred finance costs associated with the debt have been charged off as of December 31, 2008. Interest and finance costs were less in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the second quarter of 2008 due to these costs being amortized in the second quarter of 2008.

Other (Income) Expense

We had $45,000 of other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009, versus $6.5 million in other income for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The finance and interest costs have been discussed above.  However, the largest component of the variance between the two quarters was a $1.7 million non-cash gain from derivatives related to the change in the fair value of the derivative liability during the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to a $9.9 million non-cash gain during the three months ended June 30, 2008. The derivative liabilities relate to the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of our convertible debentures and senior secured convertible notes issued in 2006, and the fair value of the related warrants. Under guidance from SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19, 00-27 and 05-2, the Company is required to report the liability at fair value and record the fluctuation in the fair value to current operations.

Loss from Discontinued Operations

The loss of $1.2 million reported in this section is from the sale in June 2009 of drilling equipment which was repossessed from CamTex Energy in March 2009.  We originally acquired this equipment from our former wholly-owned subsidiary, Barnico Drilling, Inc.  See additional discussion in the Overview above.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2009, Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2008

Revenues

Revenue from oil and gas sales was $325,228 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $220,252 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in production revenue was primarily due to the completion of remedial work done on the Shiloh #3 well and its perforation of the higher Rodessa zone in June 2008.  The recompletion work on Shiloh #3 resulted in higher production in subsequent periods.  Total oil and gas revenue for the six months ending June 30, 2009 was derived from royalties of approximately $43,000 and production from Shiloh #1 and #3 of approximately $282,000.

Operating Expenses

Our operating costs totaled $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The $0.7 million decrease in expenses was primarily due to the decrease of $1.2 million in general and administrative expenses discussed below offset by an impairment loss of $0.4 million on equipment held for sale recognized in the first quarter of 2009.

General and Administrative

Total general and administrative costs were $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, versus $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a net decrease of $1.2 million. The following comparative table provides detail of the most significant general and administrative costs:

	Six months ended June 30,		Increase (Decrease)
	2009	2008
Wages	$            24,303	$       112,132	$     (87,829)
Legal fees	118,981	333,521	(214,540)
Audit and accounting fees	263,250	692,895	(429,645)
Management and consulting services	167,880	369,480	(201,600)

Wages decreased during the first half of 2009 as compared to 2008 due to a reduction in the number of employees employed by the company in 2009. As a result of a number of lawsuits that were active during the first six months of 2008, as well as various SEC filings under way during that time period, legal fees during that period were substantially higher than during the first six months of 2009. The decrease of $0.4 million in audit and accounting fees for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008 was due to various SEC filings in progress and more costs incurred during 2008 as a result of restatements of previously reported financial statements in response to comments issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management and consulting services decreased by $0.2 million during the first two quarters of 2009 as compared to 2008, due to the resignation of two consultants in late 2008.

Finance and Interest Costs

Finance and interest costs were $3.8 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2009, which represented a decrease of $2.9 million from the six months ended June 30, 2008. Finance and interest costs relate primarily to interest accrued on our senior secured convertible notes and our convertible debentures, and amortization of the debt discount related to the senior secured convertible notes. Due to our default on the senior secured convertible notes and convertible debentures, the debt discount and deferred finance costs associated with the debt were charged off as of December 31, 2008. Interest and finance costs were less in the first six months of 2009 as compared to the first six months of 2008 due to these costs being amortized in the first six months of 2008.

Other Income (Expense)

We incurred $3.1 million of other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009, versus $8.8 million in other income for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The finance and interest costs have been discussed

above.  However the largest component of the variance for the first six months of 2009 was a $0.5 million non-cash gain from derivatives related to the change in the fair value of the derivative liability, as compared to a $15.5 million non-cash gain during the first six months of 2008. The derivative liabilities relate to the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of our convertible debentures and senior secured convertible notes issued in 2006, and the fair value of the related warrants. Under guidance from SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19, 00-27 and 05-2, the Company is required to report the liability at fair value and record the fluctuation in the fair value to current operations.  

Loss from Discontinued Operations

The loss of $1.2 million reported in this section is from the sale in June 2009 of drilling equipment which was repossessed from CamTex Energy in March 2009.  We originally acquired this equipment from our former wholly-owned subsidiary, Barnico Drilling, Inc.  See additional discussion in the Overview above.  In addition, an impairment charge on the equipment of $0.3 was also reported as a loss from discontinued operations for a total of $1.5 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred significant losses from operations and we are in default of the terms of our senior secured convertible notes and convertible debentures as of October 1, 2008. These factors have raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial position is critically dependent upon the following: (1) successful discovery and economical recovery of adequate hydrocarbons on our properties; (2) access to additional equity and/or other forms of funding; (3) finding a joint venture partner to farm-in and develop our properties; and (4) obtaining a forbearance and deferral of interest and principal payments from the holders of our senior secured convertible notes and convertible debentures. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in any of these matters. As the Company has no debt or equity funding commitments, we will need to rely upon best efforts financings. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising the required capital. The failure to raise sufficient capital through future debt or equity financings or otherwise may force us to curtail operations, sell assets, or it may result in the failure of our business.

Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is collected and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of June 30, 2009 that, as a result of the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as described further in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 18, 2009, disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective in providing reasonable assurance that material information is made known to them by others within the Company:

a)

We did not maintain sufficient personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge, experience, and training in the application of generally accepted accounting principles commensurate with our complexity and our financial accounting and reporting requirements. We have limited experience in the areas of financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Also, we do not have an independent audit committee. As a result, there is a lack of monitoring of the financial reporting process and there is a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the consolidated financial statements, including disclosures, will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis; and

b)

Due to our small size, we do not have a proper segregation of duties in certain areas of our financial reporting process. The areas where we have a lack of segregation of duties include cash receipts and

disbursements, approval of purchases and approval of accounts payable invoices for payment. This control deficiency, which is pervasive in nature, results in a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There have been no changes to our internal control in the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

We are not aware of any proceedings contemplated by a governmental authority. We are party to litigation as follows:

On December 19, 2008, the Company commenced a lawsuit against our former subsidiary, Barnico Drilling, Inc., our former Vice President, George Barnes, and CamTex Energy, Inc., in the District Court of Anderson County, Texas. The lawsuit relates to the Company’s attempt to repossess certain items from George Barnes and CamTex Energy, Inc. in accordance with the court ruling on September 9, 2008. George Barnes refused to turn over these items claiming that the items are not owned by Barnico and that the items are actually owned by George Barnes and his family. This case was heard in the District Court of Anderson County, Texas on March 12, 2009 and Mr. Barnes was ordered to immediately relinquish to Wentworth possession of a workover rig. Mr. Barnes was also held in contempt of court for his failure to relinquish possession of the workover rig and Wentworth was awarded its attorney fees and costs incurred in preparing the motion.  During May 2009, the workover rig was released to Wentworth and on June 18, 2009, all the equipment including the workover rig was sold by auction.  Mr. Barnes has filed a motion against the payment of Wentworth’s attorney fees and associated cost.  A court hearing for this matter is scheduled for November 2009.

We are a party to various legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Based in part on consultation with legal counsel, we believe that (i) the liability, if any, under these claims will not have a material adverse effect on us, and (ii) the likelihood that the liability, if any, under these claims is material is remote.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The following table describes all securities we issued during the period covered by this report without registering the securities under the Securities Act.

Date	Description	Number	Purchaser	Proceeds ($)	Consideration	Exemption (A)

isolated, non-recurring transactions not involving any public offer or solicitation. Each purchaser represented that such purchaser’s intention to acquire the shares for investment only and not with a view toward distribution. We requested our stock transfer agent to affix appropriate legends to the stock certificate issued to each purchaser and the transfer agent affixed the appropriate legends. Each purchaser was given adequate access to sufficient information about us to make an informed investment decision. None of the securities were sold through an underwriter and accordingly, there were no underwriting discounts or commissions involved.

Item 3.  Defaults upon Senior Securities

The Company is in default of the terms of its senior secured convertible notes and convertible debentures. The default was effective on October 1, 2008 due to our inability to make interest payments on the senior secured convertible notes that were due October 1, 2008, January 1, 2009, April 1, 2009 and July 1, 2009. This resulted in a cross-default under the terms of our convertible debentures. The principal amount of the senior secured convertible notes and convertible debentures is $53.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2009. Accrued interest on these amounts totaled $8.4 million as of June 30, 2009. Upon an event of default, the note holders and debenture holders may require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the notes and debentures.

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

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the second quarter of 2009.
