|1. |  | Basis
of Presentation
|-- |  | ---------------------

| | The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with
the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three month period ended October 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended July 31,
2001. For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended

Line of Business and Significant Business Risks
|-- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------

| | a.
Organization and Line of Business
| | ------------------------------------

| | American
Technologies Group, Inc. (the Company or ATG), a Nevada corporation, is engaged in
the development, commercialization and sale of products and systems using its patented
and proprietary technologies. The resulting products are intended to offer cost-effective
solutions to reduce, and in some cases eliminate, hazardous chemical by-products or
emissions resulting from industrial and combustion processes. The Companys proprietary
catalyst technology may improve many commercial products including detergents and
cosmetics.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | b.
Significant Business Risks
| | -----------------------------

| | Since
its inception, the Company has incurred significant operating losses. The ability of the
Company to operate as a going concern is dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain
sufficient additional debt and/or equity capital, and (2) generate significant revenues
through its existing assets and operating business. The Company plans to raise additional
working capital through private offerings of debt and equity. The successful outcome of
future activities cannot be determined at this time and there are no assurances that if
achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its business plans or
generate positive operating results. These issues, among others, raise substantial doubt
about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset
carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should
the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | c.
Net Loss Per Share
| | ---------------------

| | Net
loss per common share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the fiscal year under the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Common share equivalents were not
considered as they would be anti-dilutive and had no impact on earnings per share for any
periods presented. However, the impact under the treasury method of dilutive stock
options would have been incremental shares of 1,429,701 and 20,000 for the three months
ended October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

|3. |  | Property
and equipment
|-- |  | ----------------------

| | On
August 25, 2000, the Company sold its land and buildings with a net book value of
approximately $950,000 to a third party in a sale-leaseback transaction for total
consideration of $1,300,000. As a result of the sale, the Company paid its note payable
of $877,500 with related accrued interest and recorded a deferred gain of $286,125 on the
sale. The deferred gain will be recognized over the term of the lease.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|4. |  | Debentures
|-- |  | ----------

| | In
September, 2000, the Company issued $500,000 of 8% convertible debentures, maturing
September 5, 2002. Accrued interest on these convertible debentures is due on the earlier
of conversion or maturity. The conversion price is the lower of 75% of the average of the
lowest three trading prices during the fifteen trading days prior to issuance or 80% of
the average of the lowest three trading prices during ninety days prior to conversion. In
connection with these convertible debentures 500,000 stock warrants to acquire stock at
an exercise price of $0.09 per share were issued to a finder. The conversion feature and
the warrants vest immediately. In connection with the discount conversion feature and the
fair value of the warrants, the Company has recorded imputed interest expense of $204,696
included in interest expense in the accompanying Statements of Operations. These
debentures have registration rights and antidilution rights related to any conversions to
common stock as discussed in the agreements.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The conversion rights of the Company's debentures may qualify as inbedded
derivatives as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133
("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."
Based on initial investigations, management believes the effect of applying SFAS
133 is not significant to the financial statements of the Company at October 31,
2000 and for the three months then ended.

|Item 2. Managements
Discussion and Analysis


Management continued its efforts to
refocus the Companys activities on its core technologies, along with new product
development and commercialization. Management anticipates these efforts will result in
significant revenue commencing in the second or third quarters of fiscal 2001, although
there can be no assurance to this effect.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE
MONTHS ENDEDOCTOBER 31, 2000 AND 1999


Total revenue decreased by $77,000
from $84,200 to $7,200 for the three months ended October 31, 1999 and October 31, 2000,
respectively, principally due to a decrease in sales of technology products of $57,700.
However, sale of technology products during the second fiscal quarter of 2001 are
anticipated to be significantly greater than sales during the comparable period of fiscal
2000.


Operating expenses decreased by
$599,300 from $1,343,200 to $743,900 for the three months ended October 31, 1999 and
October 31, 2000, respectively. The decrease was principally due to decreased general and
administrative expenses of $419,100, marketing and product development expenses of
$35,100, research and development of $40,500 and amortization of technology rights of
$100,000. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was principally the result
of a decrease in the non-cash amortization of prepaid consulting expense of $413,400 as a
result of significant shares issued in late fiscal 1999 to consultants for long-term
agreements that were amortized in the three months ended October 31, 1999; such
equivalent consultant shares were not issued at the end of fiscal 2000.


Other expenses decreased by $263,700
from $532,700 to $269,000 for the three months ended October 31, 1999 and October 31,
2000, respectively, principally due to a decrease in interest expense which during the
earlier period included significant non-cash imputed interest related to a convertible
debenture.


The Companys net loss decreased by
$786,000 from $1,791,700 to $1,005,700 for the three months ended October 31, 1999 and
October 31, 2000, respectively, principally due to decreased operating expenses of
$599,300 and decreased interest expense of $250,300 offset by a decrease in total revenue
of $77,000. This reflects managements continuing efforts to reduce overhead expenses.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Since its inception, the Company has
incurred significant operating losses. The ability of the Company to operate as a going
concern is dependent upon its ability to (1) obtain sufficient additional capital and (2)
generate significant revenues through its existing assets and operating business. The
Company plans to raise additional working capital through private offerings of debt and
equity. The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and
there are no assurances that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to
execute its business plans or generate positive operating results. These issues, among
others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern.


Total assets decreased by $924,700
from $3,327,300 to $2,402,600 at July 31, 2000 and October 31, 2000, respectively. This
decrease was the principal result of the sale of the Companys land and building with a
net book value of approximately $950,000.


Total liabilities decreased by
$638,000 from $6,293,100 to $5,655,100 at July 31, 2000 and October 31, 2000,
respectively. This decrease was principally due to decreases in notes payable of 924,800
and amount due to related parties of $239,100, offset by an increase in convertible
debentures of $500,000. The decrease in notes payable principally resulted from the
payment of the $877,500 note secured by the building sold by the Company.
