                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - GENERAL

         The foregoing financial statements have been prepared from the books
and records of American Energy Services, Inc. ("AES" or the "Company") without
audit. In the opinion of management all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim
periods presented, are reflected in the financial statements.

         These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report of Form
10-KSB for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2000.

NOTE 2 - Revenue Recognition

         Revenues are recorded when flow control valves sold are shipped or when
title passes. Title normally passes from seller to buyer when the goods are
shipped. On some rare occassions, the buyer pays for completed goods just prior
to shipment. At that point, AES considers title to have passed to the buyer. In
most instances, sales involve a system of valves for a single installation and
require long-term contracts. When jobs on a long-term contract progress to a
point where final results can be estimated with reasonable accuracy, the
percentage-of-completion method is utilized. Based on the ratio of costs
incurred to date to the total estimated costs of the contracts, a portion of the
total contract price is accrued as revenue. If any losses on a
contract-in-progress become apparent, that loss is charged against the job in
the period it was recognized.

NOTE 3  -- Income Taxes

         A pre-tax income or loss results in an income tax expense or benefit,
respectively. With pre-tax income, the tax expense is easily calculated and
accrued at the standard corporate rate

NOTE 4 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is
computed similarly, but also provides the effect to the impact of convertible
securities, such as common stock warrants, if dilutive, would have on net income
and average common shares outstanding if converted.

For the three month periods ending May 31, 2000 and May 31, 1999, average shares
outstanding were increased for stock warrants assumed exercised by 309,948 to
arrive at weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of calculating
diluted earnings per share.









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

                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         This material contains "forward-looking" statements as defined in the
Securities and Exchange Acts of 1933 and 1934 that could involve substantial
risk and uncertainties. When expressions include words such as "anticipate",



                                       6
<PAGE>   7

"believe", "estimate", "intend", "expect", "plan", and when similar expressions
are used, they are intended to identify the statements as forward-looking.
American Energy Services, Inc. ("AES" or the "Company") relies on a variety of
internal and external information to develop such statements. Due to the
inherent risks and limitations in that development process and the relatively
volatile nature of the industry in which the Company operates, actual results,
performance and achievements may differ materially from results suggested by
these forward-looking statements.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Quarter Ended May 31, 2000 versus Quarter Ended May 31, 1999

         Revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2000 were $1,935,970
compared to $1,403,120 for the same period in 1999. The increase in revenues can
be attributed primarily to increased sales from a single client who comprised
68% of the first quarter revenues. .

         Cost of sales rose in first quarter ended May 31, 2000 to $1,445,143 up
from $1,051,502 during the first quarter of 1999. Gross profit for the May 31,
2000 quarter rose to $490,827, compared to $351,818 for first quarter 1999. As a
percent of net sales, gross profit was 25% for the first quarter 2000, compared
with 25% for first quarter 1999.

         Operating expenses for first quarter 2000 were $351,636 or $105,150
above operating expenses for first quarter 1999 at $246,486. This increase can
be attributed in part to accounting adjustments made in the first quarter 2000,
to better reflect all accrued operating costs.

         Interest and other expenses decreased $18,874 to $95,644 for first
quarter ended May 31, 2000, as compared to $114,518 interest and other expenses
for the same period in 1999. Net income for the first quarter 2000 was $30,547
or $39,933 greater than the ($9,386) for the same period last year.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The primary sources of the Company's liquidity for the three months
ended May 31, 2000 were cash available at the beginning of the year coupled with
additional paid in capital of $ 500,000. These funds were used for the reduction
of short-term and long-term debt as well as working capital and current
operations.

         During the quarter ended May 31, 2000, the working capital deficit
decreased $532,575 when compared to the deficit at February 29, 2000 of
$2,079,128 Primarily due to the net improvement of costs and billings on
uncompleted projects. The short-term cash flows have been inadequate to overcome
the working capital deficit, thus hindering AES' ability to take advantage of
slightly improved economic conditions as well as it's ability to move forward
more aggressively with the Company's strategic plans. However, the Company has
successfully negotiated advance payments from many customers and has pledged
against letters of credit established by customers. Further, AES is aggressively
pursuing alternative sources of capital to overcome the working capital deficit.
The company has entered into a best- efforts agreement with an investment banker
to raise $ 8,000,000 to $ 11,000,000 in new equity.

         There were no capital expenditures during the quarter ended May 31,
2000, nor are any planned or expected in the near term. Only upon a very
significant improvement in the Company's financial position, will capital
expenditures be considered, and then only after diligent consideration and
within stringent guidelines.





                                    YEAR 2000

         The year 2000 ("Y2K") issue is the inability of computer systems to
recognize the change in year from 1999 to 2000. The issue affects both
information technology ("IT") and non-IT systems. Because non-IT systems are
typically embedded technology, these are more difficult to assess than IT
systems and often require replacement rather than repair.




                                       7
<PAGE>   8

         AES has recognized the significant uncertainty associated with the Y2K
issue and has tested its products for compliance. It is the Company's belief
that substantially all necessary modifications have been made to its products.

         However, the Company is still in the process of reviewing its internal
computer systems. An outside vendor has been contracted to assess the Company's
internal hardware and software with regard to Y2K compliance. No "mission
critical" systems have required significant modification or replacement to date.

         AES is also in the process of identifying and communicating with its
suppliers and vendors where failure by such third parties to achieve Y2K
compliance could have a material impact on the Company. For those suppliers or
vendors who may pose a material risk, contingency plans are in development.

         The Company has not incurred any material expense to date with regard
to the Y2K issue, nor does it expect any future expense related to the issue to
be material. Any costs associated with the issue will be treated as period costs
and expensed as incurred. There can be no assurance, however, that the Y2K issue
will not present problems unforeseen at this time.








                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in
the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of
ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not have a materially
adverse affect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
