                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      Nine months ended September 30, 2002
                                   (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - UNAUDITED INTERIM INFORMATION

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 Form 10-QSB and Regulation
S-B.  Accordingly,  they do not include  all of the  information  and  footnotes
required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete  financial
statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been
included.  Operating results for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2002
are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending  December  31,  2002.  For further  information,  refer to the  financial
statements  and  footnotes  thereto  included  in the  Company's  Form 10-KSB as
amended for the year ended December 31, 2001.

     (1) The  unaudited  financial  statements  include  the  accounts of Energy
     Producers, Inc. and include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
     items) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly
     the  financial  position  as of  September  30,  2002  and the  results  of
     operations  and cash flows for the  nine-month  period ended  September 30,
     2002 and the year ended  December 31, 2001.  The results of operations  for
     the period ended September 30, 2002 are not  necessarily  indicative of the
     results to be expected for the entire year.

     (2)  Earnings  (loss) per common  share are based on the  weighted  average
     number of shares outstanding during the period.

   ITEM 2: - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                         Period Ended September 30, 2002
                           (Unaudited Financial Data)

The discussion and analysis  contained herein should be read in conjunction with
the  preceding  financial  statements  and  the  information  contained  in  the
Company's  Form  10-KSB  as  amended.  Except  for  the  historical  information
contained  herein,  the matters  discussed in this Form 10-QSB  contain  forward
looking  statements  that are based on  management's  beliefs  and  assumptions,
current  expectations,  estimates,  and  projections.  Statements  that  are not
historical facts, including,  without limitation,  statements which are preceded
by,  followed  by, or  include  the words  "believes,"  "anticipates,"  "plans,"
"expects,"   "may,"  "should,"  or  similar   expressions  are   forward-looking
statements. Many of the factors that will determine the Company's future results
are beyond the ability of the Company to control or  predict.  These  statements
are subject to risks and uncertainties and, therefore, actual results may differ
materially.   All  subsequent  written  and  oral   forward-looking   statements
attributable  to the Company,  or persons  acting on its behalf,  are  expressed
qualified  in  their  entirety  by  these  cautionary  statements.  The  Company
disclaims any obligation to update any  forward-looking  statements whether as a
result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Important factors may include, but are not limited to: the risk of a significant
natural disaster,  the inability of the Company to insure against certain risks,
fluctuations  in commodity  prices,  the inherent  limitations in the ability to
estimate  oil and gas  reserves,  changing  government  regulations,  as well as
general market  conditions,  competition  and pricing,  and other risks detailed
from time to time in the  Company's  SEC reports,  copies of which are available
upon request from the Company.

Results of Operations

Total revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 decreased from
$330,258 at September 30, 2001 to $211,791 at September 30, 2002. Oil production
declined  32% to 2456  barrels in the third  quarter of 2002 as compared to 3604
barrels in the same quarter of 2001,  while average oil prices increased .04% to
$26.812  per  barrel in the third  quarter  of 2002  from  $25.758  for the same
comparative third quarter period in 2001. Declines in the third quarter were due
to  natural  decline  rates and non dry  weather  conditions  preventing  timely
scheduling  of needed  maintenance  (tubing  rework)  repairs  on the  Company's
McClatchy B and Griffin wells/leases.  Overall oil production for the nine month
period ended  September  30, 2002  declined 29% to 8,080  barrels as compared to
11,315  barrels  produced  for the same  comparative  nine month period in 2001.
Overall  average oil prices for the 9 month period ended  September 30, 2002 was
$24.01 per barrel down  approximately  11% or $3.05 per barrel from  $27.064 for
the same comparative nine month period in 2001.

Costs of  operations  decreased  by 31% from  $72,753 at  September  30, 2001 to
$50,168 at the end of the September,  2002, due to the reduced cost of operating
the oil leases,  including well repairs,  in the nine months ended September 30,
2002

General and  administrative  expenses  increased  from $341,601 at September 30,
2001 to  $443,419  at  September  30,  2002.  These  increases  were due to cost
increases in consulting and professional fees.

The Company's net loss at September 30, 2001 was ($143,528) compared to net loss
of  ($379,262)  at  September  30,  2002 due to loss of revenues  and  increased
interest expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the first nine  months of 2002,  cash used in  operating  activities  was
$256,926 and investing  activities  provided  $5,500  primarily from the sale of
assets.  Financing  activities  provided  $252,992 in cash. The Company does not
have enough cash on hand to meet its current  obligations.  Although the Company
believes  that  it  will be able to  negotiate  extensions,  or  generate  loans
sufficient to meet, maintain, and remain up to date in its current and long-term
obligations,  there is no firm  assurance that it will be able to continue to do
so, and one or more of its  obligations  could enter default,  or fall behind in
its payments.

The monthly cost requirement to service existing contract debt is $36,302.00 and
is expected to remain steady for the next 12 months. Extensions and roll over of
existing  loans will  allow us to  maintain  this  level of  expense  and remain
current on all existing loans.

The  Company  will  require  an  additional  $39,000  monthly  for  General  and
Administrative  expenses.  Currently,  Company  Management  and  Directors  have
provided these  expenses.  Although the Company  believes that  Management  will
continue to assist in providing funds,  there can be no firm assurance that they
will continue to do so in the long term.

The Company  anticipates  that it will be able to either  develop  its  existing
property or acquire  additional oil properties,  to provide increased cash flow,
by debt or equity in the fourth quarter of operations. This additional cash flow
should allow the Company to cover its existing shortfalls.
