                      Notes and Disclosures to Form 10-QSB



1.     Presentation
       ------------

       The  financial  statements  as of September  30,  1998,  and for the nine
       months then ended were prepared by American Geological Enterprises,  Inc.
       (AGE)  without  audit  pursuant  to  the  rules  and  regulations  of the
       Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (SEC).   Certain  information  and
       footnote  disclosures  normally  included  in  the  financial  statements
       prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
       been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  In the
       opinion  of  management,  all  necessary  adjustments  to  the  financial
       statements  have been made to present  fairly the financial  position and
       results of operations  and cash flows.  The results of operations for the
       periods  presented are not necessarily  indicative of the results for the
       respective  complete years.  AGE has previously filed with the SEC a Form
       10-KSB,  which included  audited  financial  statements for the two years
       ending  December 31, 1997 and 1996.  It is suggested  that the  financial
       statements  contained  in this  filing  be read in  conjunction  with the
       statements and notes thereto contained in AGE's Form 10-KSB filing.


2.     Net Income Per Share
       --------------------

       Net income per share is computed by dividing  net income by the  weighted
       average number of shares outstanding during each period.

           Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                            and Results of Operations



AGE is engaged in the acquisition of geothermal and oil and gas leases.  Revenue
consists of royalties and  interest.  AGE's  financial  condition and results of
operations  fluctuate  from year to year,  depending  upon the  production  from
current leases,  the availability of leases to be acquired,  and the opportunity
to sell lease  rights.  AGE's  ability to obtain  future  leases or to  generate
revenues from the sale of lease rights is not determinable; hence, its financial
condition and operations may fluctuate widely in the future.

Financial Condition & Results of Operations
- -------------------------------------------

At September 30, 1998, AGE's financial condition is consistent with December 31,
1997. Income and expenses are consistent for both the three months ended and the
nine  months  ended   September  30,  1998  and  1997  except  for  general  and
administrative  expenses.  Although general and administrative  expenses for the
three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 are significantly different, this
is due to the fact that these expenses,  particularly professional fees, are not
incurred ratably during the year. However,  general and administrative  expenses
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 are comparable.

Liquidity
- ---------

AGE's liquidity at September 30, 1998, is considered adequate with $1,127,637 in
working  capital.  AGE's future  commitments  consist of lease  payments on land
which  lies  within  the  participating  area  of  the  geothermal  power  unit.
Additionally, AGE is committed to furnish its share of steam from its investment
in the  geothermal  power  unit to Utah  Power & Light  (UP&L)  under a  30-year
agreement that commenced in 1991. There are no other  commitments or anticipated
expenditures of a capital nature.

AGE's economic  future will be dependent,  in major part,  upon the value of its
undeveloped   interests  in  the  geothermal  power  unit.  The  value  of  such
undeveloped  interests will, in turn, be dependent upon, among other matters (a)
the then  current  price of  energy;  (b)  governmental  incentives  to  develop
renewable resources; (c) regulatory incentives; and (d) the load needs of UP&L.

Other
- -----

A tax rate of 34.6  percent  was used for  income  tax  calculations  for  1998.
Current  estimates  support 34.6 percent as the  effective tax rate for the 1998
year.
