                                   (Unaudited)**Note 1   Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include
all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of
financial position and results of operations.

It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair
financial statement presentation. The results for the interim period are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and footnotes
for the year ended December 31, 2001 and from January 31, 2000 (inception) to
December 31, 2000 included in the Company's Form 10-KSB.

Certain amounts in the 2001 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 2002 presentation.

**Note 2 Sale of Equipment

As of December 31, 2001, the Company had written down remaining property and
equipment to its estimated net realizable value of zero. During the three months
ended March 31, 2002, the Company sold certain equipment for $4,000 and used
that $4,000 cash as a settlement payment to terminate the office lease.

**Note 3 Legal Matters

The Company is subject to various lawsuits and unasserted claims from vendors
for non-payment of accounts payable plus related legal fees. Excluding legal
fees, which cannot be estimated, the Company has included all amounts in its
accounts payable as of September 30, 2002, including three judgments for
approximately $23,600.

The Company is subject to a lawsuit from one stockholder who invested $100,000
in the Company for 100,000 common shares during a private placement. The Company
believes an unfavorable outcome is not probable.

The Company has included $43,283 of unpaid Federal payroll taxes and employee
withholdings and related penalties and interest in its accrued expenses as of
September 30, 2002, such amounts are subject to IRS tax liens.

                                   (Unaudited)**Note 4   Stockholders' DeficiencyM

On May 23, 2002, the Company approved an Employee Benefit Plan ("the Plan") for
the purpose of providing stock based awards to its employees as defined in the
plan. Under the terms of the plan, the Board of Directors may discontinue the
plan at any time and no employee has any rights to be granted shares under the
plan. On May 25, 2002, the Company filed as an exhibit to a Form S-8
registration statement the above plan and registered 12,500,000 shares, of which
12,225,000 were granted and issued at June 30, 2002.

On May 29, 2002, the Company issued 11,225,000 shares of common stock, pursuant
to the plan, having a fair value of $2,806,250 based on the $.25 quoted trading
price on the grant date in exchange for legal and consulting services. As of
September 30, 2002, the Company has expensed $1,618,750 of consulting fees,
$63,988 of legal fees, and deferred $1,123,512 related to future legal and
consulting services.

On May 29, 2002, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock, pursuant
to the plan, having a fair value of $250,000 based on the $.25 quoted trading
price on the grant date in exchange for services of a corporate officer. As of
September 30, 2002, the Company has expensed $250,000 related to past services.
(See Note 5)

On June 19, 2002, the Company declared a 20% stock divided totaling 7,074,764
shares having a fair value of $2,263,924 based on the $.32 quoted trading price
on the declaration date. Accordingly, the Company had charged its accumulated
deficit, and recorded the value to common stock issuable and additional paid-in
capital for the 20% stock dividend. These shares were issued to stockholders of
record as of August 16, 2002. All shares and per share amounts have been
retroactively restated for all periods presented in the accompanying financial
statements to give effect for the 20% stock dividend.

**Note 5   Related Party

On May 29, 2002, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to a
corporate officer and its sole director. (See Note 4)

**Note 6   Letter of Intent

On June 1, 2002, the Company entered into a letter of intent to acquire
substantially all of the assets and related liabilities of Proco Operating Co.,
Inc. ("Proco"). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company would acquire all
of Proco's oil and gas assets, property, rights, goodwill and operating business
in exchange for $2,000,000, of which specific terms will be defined in a
definitive agreement. As of September 30, 2002, such definitive agreement has
not been executed.

**Note 7   Going Concern

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, the Company has a net loss of $1,992,973 and net cash used
in operations of $10,393, an accumulated deficit of $8,354,694 and a working
capital deficiency of $834,211 at September 30, 2002. In addition, the Company
has discontinued operations and is currently inactive. The ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to
develop or acquire a new business. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a
going concern.

The Company is investigating new business opportunities and seeking additional
funding. In addition, the Company has a letter of intent to acquire assets of an
operating company (See Note 5). Management believes that the actions presently
being taken provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going
concern.

**PART I   FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS**

American Energy Production Inc. is hereinafter referred to as "the Company",
"we" or "our".

     The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that
are subject to business and economic risks and uncertainties, and our actual
results could differ materially from those forward-looking statements. The
following discussion regarding our financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto.

                              **RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

     We were incorporated on January 31, 2000. During the period  from our
inception of January 31, 2000 through October 2000, we conducted market
research, raised capital of $1,423,900 before offering costs through a private
placement of our securities, and developed our back office infrastructure and
website. In November 2000, we began selling Internet display advertisements to
small businesses in the Central Texas area. Due to unfavorable results we ceased
operations of our only business product, Bizfinders in August 2001. All
employees were terminated and operations that resulted in revenue ceased.

     During the period of July 1, 2002 through September 30, 2002  the
operations of the Company consisted of a search for oil and gas properties to
acquire and operate. The Company was not successful in securing additional oil
and gas properties during this period.

     The management of the company believes it will be successful in securing
additional oil and gas properties but there can be no assurance the management
will be successful in it efforts to re-invent the company as a profitable oil
and gas operation Company, or that it will be successful in the operation of
it's current property, "Proco"

 **REVENUE FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 COMPARED TO REVENUE
             FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2001.**

     Revenue for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2002 was $0 and
$0, respectively, as compared to $24,178 and $71,829, respectively, for the
three and nine months ending September 30, 2002.

     Our gross sales contracts for the three months ending September 30, 2002
were $0, as compared to $10,975, for the three months ending September 30,
2001.

                            **MATERIAL TRENDS OR EVENTS**

     Our business plan is to acquire oil and gas properties for development and
Operations, leading to revenue and profit growth. On July 30th of 2002 the
Company has Entered into a letter of intent to acquire Proco Operating
properties via a convertible two million dollar note ($2,000,000). The term of
the convertible note is 5 years at an interest rate of 6%. In 2007 at note
maturity the note will convert to Preferred Stock and then at the Company's
option the note and accrued interest can be paid with cash or converted to
Company Common stock at a pre-set value of $1.00 per share. There can be no
assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to implement our plan, or
operate Proco. There were no other material trends or events for the period
ending September 30, 2002.

                                       4
**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

     As of September 30, 2002, we had limited cash capital resources. We believe
that these funds, along with expected revenues, and loans from various sources,
will be sufficient to cover our working capital requirements for twelve months.

     Our future revenues may be insufficient to fund our operations;
accordingly, we may have to seek additional financing from financial
institutions or other sources. We maintain a line of credit of $42,000 with Bank
One. As of September 30. 2002, we have borrowed $42,000 against the Bank One
line of credit.

     At September 30, 2002 we had total cash of $0 compared to September 30,
2001 when we had total cash of $1,078. The decrease in cash is a result of a
lack of revenues and operations for the period Ending September 30, 2002.

                            **MATERIAL SEASONAL ASPECTS**

We have not identified any seasonal aspects that would have a material effect on
our current limited operations.

**PART II   OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings**

     All material pending legal proceedings in which we are involved have been
reported in our Form 10-KSB.

**Item 2.   Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds**

     Working Capital restrictions and other limitations upon the payments of
dividends.

     As reflected in the accompanying financial statements for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002, we had a net loss from operations of $1,992,973 and
net cash used in operations of $10,393. In addition, at September 30, 2002, we
had an accumulated deficit of $8,354,694 and a working capital deficiency of
$834,211. As of September 30, 2002, we had no earnings. Holders of our common
stock are entitled to receive ratably dividends, if any, as may be declared by
our board of directors from funds legally available. We have not paid any
dividends since our inception. We now anticipate that all earnings, if any, will
be retained for development of our business. Any future dividends will be at the
discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our future earnings,
operating and financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors.
