               AMERICAN MARKET SUPPORT NETWORK, INC.
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of American
Market Support Network, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC"), and should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's
registration statement filed with the SEC on Form 10-SB.  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
disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the
most recent fiscal year 2001 as reported in Form 10-SB, have been
omitted.

Note 2 - INVESTMENTS

American Market holds minority equity investments in companies and
classifies these investments as available for sale.  Certain
investments carry restrictions on immediate disposition.
Investments in public companies with restrictions of less than one
year are classified as available-for-sale and are adjusted to their
fair market value with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax,
recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
Upon disposition of these investments, the specific identification
method is used to determine the cost basis in computing realized
gains or losses, which are reported in other income and expense.
Declines in value that are judged to be other than temporary are
reported in other income and expense.  Common stock received by
American Market for services are recognized at its quoted market
price or at the fair value of the services rendered, which ever is
more readily determinable.

A summary of investments, available for sale held as of September
30, 2002 is as follows:

Equity securities:
  Cost                        $ 12,175
  Gross unrealized loss        (11,769)
Estimated fair value          $    406

       Item 2. Management's Discussion and Plan of Operation

Forward-Looking Statements

     This  Quarterly  Report  contains  forward-looking  statements
about  American Market Support Network, Inc.'s business,  financial
condition  and prospects that reflect management's assumptions  and
beliefs  based on information currently available.  We can give  no
assurance  that  the expectations indicated by such forward-looking
statements   will   be  realized.   If  any  of  our   management's
assumptions  should prove incorrect, or if any  of  the  risks  and
uncertainties  underlying  such  expectations  should  materialize,
AMSN's actual results may differ materially from those indicated by
the forward-looking statements.

     The  key factors that are not within our control and that  may
have  a  direct bearing on operating results include, but  are  not
limited  to, acceptance of our services, our ability to expand  our
customer base, managements' ability to raise capital in the future,
the retention of key employees and changes in the regulation of our
industry.

     There may be other risks and circumstances that management may
be  unable  to predict.  When used in this Quarterly Report,  words
such    as,     "believes,"    "expects,"   "intends,"     "plans,"
"anticipates,"  "estimates" and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements, as defined in Section  21E  of
the  Securities Exchange Act of 1934, although there may be certain
forward-looking statements not accompanied by such expressions.

     The  safe  harbors of forward-looking statements  provided  by
Section 21E of the Exchange Act are unavailable to issuers of penny
stock.   As we issued securities at a price below $5.00 per  share,
our  shares  are considered penny stock and such safe  harbors  set
forth under the Reform Act are unavailable to us.

clients  can  execute internally, with or without  our  help.   Our
media  relations services are priced either hourly or  on  a  fixed
monthly  fee  basis.   Our hourly rates range  from  $80  to  $400,

     We  provide  our  clients  with media monitoring  programs  by
subcontracting  with a press clipping or video monitoring  services

provide  a  written report or analysis of the media  coverage,  and
invoice those services separately or as a part of a larger services
package.  For those services, we charge either a fixed project fee,
a  monthly  fee or hourly rates of $80 to $400.  Project  fees  and
monthly fees billed at our usual hourly rates and are based on  the

Our clients use our services to build customer awareness as well as
demand   for  their  products,  services  or  brands.   Our  public
relations  services  include graphic design  services,  design  and
production  of  marketing material, Internet/web  design,  creating
graphic  identities  and brands, reputation management  and  crisis
communications programs.

     Our   public  relations  consulting  rates  range  from   $80-
$400/hour,  depending on the assignment.  Our  graphic  design  and
marketing material projects start at $1,500 per project and  go  up
from  there  depending  on the scope of the project.   Internet/web
design services are priced either on a per project or hourly basis.
Our  hourly rates for Internet/web design services range  from  $40
per hour for basic database entry work and $80 per hour for content
production,  to  as much as $400 per hour for consulting  services.
Our  graphic identity, branding, reputation management  and  crisis
communications  programs  are priced based  on  the  scope  of  the
project  we work on, but most often billed at our customary  hourly
rates of $80-$400 per hour.

     Reputation management involves advising clients how  they  can
increase their reputation, such as by becoming active in the  local
community,   sponsoring  sports  and  art  events,  joining   trade
associations, issuing news releases more actively than  before,  or
becoming contributing writers for trade magazines.

     Crisis communications programs consist of a written plan  that
identifies  worst case scenarios or threats for a company's  public
image  and  then  aims at either eliminating  those  threats  in  a
preemptive manner or by creating a plan that describes what  to  do
when that worst-case scenario actually comes through.  For example,
many  energy  companies have a crisis publicly relations  plans  in
place  for unlikely events such as a terrorist attack in a refinery
or  an  oil  tanker accidentally losing its cargo  and  causing  an
environmental  catastrophe. Other examples  include  a  loss  of  a
company CFO for a competitor or a public company becoming a subject
of a negative media coverage alleging the company for fraud.

     Our  reputation management and crisis communications  services
are available and a part of our existing service offerings, but  we
haven't actively marketed them as of yet and we haven't sold any of
them.

Investor Relations

     We   provide  our  clients  with  various  investor  relations
programs, including design and distribution of investor information
kits, drafting and distribution of corporate press releases, design
and content production for investor relations sections of corporate
web  sites.  Our basic program, which includes creation of a  press
release  strategy, drafting of 4-8 press releases and advising  our
clients  on  other investor relations activities is priced  between
$2,000 and $15,000 per month, depending on various factors such  as
length  of  contract  and the time we estimate  we  will  spend  on
servicing each client.

     We  also  provide services individually as opposed to bundling
them  in a complete program.  In these instances, we charge between
$3,000 to $8,000 for the design of investor information kits,  $500
to  $2,500 for the drafting of press releases, $80 to $400 per hour
for the design of complete investor relations websites, and $40  to
$200  per hour for the production of content for investor relations
sites or investor relations sections of corporate websites.

     We  distribute out clients' investor relations material to our
own  internal database consisting of 6,000 recipients, and  may  on
our  clients'  request, have our clients' materials distributed  to
other  databases  that  are  provided by  other  companies  in  the
industry.  Means  of  distribution include direct  mail,  newspaper
advertisements, e-mail and fax distribution and online sites.

     Our   internal  database  consists  of  recipients  who   have
requested to receive information on publicly traded companies.   No
subscription  fee is charged.  This database was collected  by  OTC
News Network, Inc. - a company at which our current chairman of the
board  and  largest shareholder - was also a shareholder.   Shortly
before  that  company ceased its operations, Mr. Luhanto  purchased
the  database  from the company and transferred  that  to  American
Market  Support  Network.  The original database  was  11,000,  but
since our inception 5,000 recipients have chosen to opt-out, making
the current amount of recipients 6,000.

     We charge a fee of $1,000 to $5,000 per incident for materials
to  be  distributed  to  our own database  -  the  exact  price  is
determined   by   market  conditions  and  the  total   number   of
distributions  our clients are able to commit to.  There  are  also
multitude  of other service providers who own databases  consisting
of  recipients  who  have  expressed their  interest  in  receiving
information  on  publicly traded companies.  Because  our  database
only  has  6,000 recipients, we occasionally recommend  that  those
clients  who  want  to  increase the number of  people  that  their
investor  relations  messages reach should use  services  of  other
distribution providers as well.




PAGE-9-




     If  our  clients  decide  to  utilize  those  other  services,
distribution service providers usually bill our client directly. We
may  receive  a sales commission from the service provider.   These
commissions  are  typically  agreed on  a  case-by-case  basis  and
typically  represent 10-15% of the total amount of the distribution
cost our clients pay.

     In some instances, we may re-sell another distribution service
provider's  services.   In  that  case,  we  would  enter  into  an
agreement providing that the database distribution provider charges
us,  and  we  then invoice our client that fee plus an  appropriate
consulting  fee  for  advising our clients  in  the  use  of  those
services.

     We  provide  consulting services to determine  which  investor
relations  activities best reach our clients' specific  goals.   We
may  not produce all of our services in-house, preferring to either
subcontract  or  refer  our clients to service  providers  that  we
believe  represent  the best fit for our clients.   Our  consulting
services  are  priced at $200 to $400 per hour,  but  may  also  be
provided  at  a  fixed, predetermined monthly fee, which  would  be
calculated  based on the amount of time we estimate we  will  spend
for the client in question.

Results of Operations

     Our  total  revenue for the year to date ended  September  30,
2002  was  $146,556, which decreased $5,479 from $152,035  for  the
year  ago  period  ended  September 30,  2001,  or  a  decrease  of
approximately 4%.  We generated revenues of $29,225 for  the  three
months  ended September 30, 2002, which was a 1% increase over  the
same  period last year, when we generated $28,910 in revenues.   We
anticipate  that  revenues  will  increase  as  our  products  gain
acceptance; however, our future profitability is uncertain.

     Cost  of  revenues for the three-month period ended  September
30,  2002  was  $3,050compared  to  $3,730  for  the  period  ended
September  30,  2001.   For the year to  date  2002,  our  cost  of
revenues was $67,070, while for the nine months ended September 30,
2001,  cost  of  revenues  amounted  to  $47,585.   Our  management
believes  that our operational expenses will increase according  to
the implementation of our growth plans.

     Total  expenses  for  the  current three  month  period  ended
September  30,  2002  was $36,900, a $12,871  increase  over  total
expenses of $24,029 during the same period in 2001.  Total expenses
for  the  year to date September 30, 2002 was $177,042, an increase
of 22% over the year to date September 30, 2001.

     As a result of elevated expenses, we experienced a net loss of
$94,007 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to  a
net loss $38,480 for the same period in 2001.  Our net loss for the
three month period ended September 30, 2002 was $4,152, an increase
of 636% from our net income for the period ended September 30, 2001
of $775.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash  flow used in operating activities during the nine months
ended  September  30,  2002 was $73,547.  Net investing  activities
provided $85,919 from sales of securities investments received  for
services.

     Cash  and  cash  equivalents, marketable securities,  accounts
receivable  and  other  current  assets  at  the  period  ended  of
September 30, 2002 amounted to $4,858.  Our current liabilities  of
$116,257  as  of  September 30, 2002 are higher  than  our  current
assets of $5,264 by $110,993.  Our management believes that without
additional   funds,  we  may  be  unable  to  meet  our   financial
obligations.  We have no commitments for capital expenditures as of
the period ended of September 30, 2002.

     We  have  a  note payable with Bulldog Capital,  an  unrelated
entity,  for  $5,000.  The note is unsecured and bears interest  at
10%.  The note was due on September 30, 2001Currently, there is  no
threat of litigation on Bulldog Capital's part.  We are engaged  in
discussions with Bulldog Capital to work out a payment plan for the
note.

     In  order  to become profitable, we may still need  to  secure
additional  debt or equity funding.  We hope to be  able  to  raise
additional  funds  from an offering of our  stock  in  the  future.
However,  this  offering may not occur, or if it  occurs,  may  not
raise the required funding.  There are no preliminary or definitive
agreements or understandings with any party for such financing.
