                       AMERICAN ATLAS RESOURCE CORPORATION

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1995 and the related consolidated
statements of operations for the six months and three months ended June 30, 1995
and 1994, and the consolidated statements of changes in cash flows for the
periods then ended have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the
opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as
of June 30, 1995 and results of operation for the periods then ended except for
normal recurring year-end adjustments.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, it is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
included in the Company's 1994 Form 10-KSB. The accounting policies utilized in
the preparation of the financial statements herein presented are the same as set
forth in the Company's annual financial statements except as modified for
appropriate interim accounting policies. The operating results of the six months
ended June 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of those which the Company
may experience for fiscal 1995.

Consolidation:

The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, States Exploration Co. ("States"), Schreider &
Company, Inc. ("Schreider"), and American Gas Compression Services, Inc.
("AGCSI"). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Certain reclassification's have been made to the June 30, 1994 statement of
operations to conform with the current period's presentation.

Net Loss Per Common and Common Equivalent Share:

Net loss per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common Stock equivalents
are not included in the weighted average shares or net loss per share
calculation for the six months and three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994,
due to their effect being antidilutive.

Stockholders Equity:

Preferred Stock - During the quarter ended June 30, 1994, the Company
sold 61,013 Units of 1993 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants to
purchase Common Stock (the "Units"). Each Unit consists of one share of 1993
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock"), one Class A
Common Stock Purchase Warrant, and one Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrant
(the "Series B Warrants"). The Units were offered through a private placement
under a Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation D filing.



                                        6

<PAGE>   7

The features of the Series B Preferred Stock include: (a) an annual cumulative
dividend payable quarterly of 7% of the face value of $5.00 per share; (b) each
Series B Preferred share is convertible to one share of Common Stock; (c) each
share is entitled to one vote on all matters brought before the Company's
shareholders; (d) the Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable for $5.00 per share
after December 31, 1995; and does not have any liquidation preference.

The exercise price and term of each Series B Warrant is as follows:
         Class A Warrants       Exercisable at $6.00 per share from the date of
                                issuance through December 31, 1995
         Class B Warrants       Exercisable at $7.00 per share from the date of
                                issuance through December 31, 1996

Additionally, the Series B Warrants will have customary antidilution protection.



ITEM 2 -  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Liquidity and Capital Resources:

The Company management and employees are continuing their effort to survive the
ongoing downturn in natural gas prices which continue to have a direct adverse
effect on both it's Baca County, Colorado, gas production cash flow and the
employment of it's small horsepower natural gas compressor rental fleet which
comprises over half of it's available inventory. Since January 1, 1995 customers
have elected to return a total of twelve units through June 30, 1995. In early
July 1995 two of the returned units were placed in service with new customers.

The Company currently has 29 compressor packages on it's idle inventory list
which can be placed in service with minimal additional cash outflow. Gross
rental of these units represents monthly revenue of $32,000.

The Company is actively marketing all of it's residual inventory from
reclamation efforts including several trucks that are in excess of it's current
needs. During the second quarter two of these trucks, the Company's share of a
pumping unit and miscellaneous other inventory was liquidated.

The temporary strengthening of oil prices in the first quarter did not hold and
drilling activity remains low.

The Company has remained current on it's secured indebtedness and is currently
discussing the possibility of extending and increasing it's equipment financing
facility to take advantage of several purchases of additional compressors at
very attractive prices.

Bonus Interest Notes remain delinquent in the amount of $34,000 as of June 30,
1995.

General accounts payable are averaging 60 days as in the first quarter with no
significant change in vendor relations.

There has been no change in the Company's goals of selling inventory and leasing
its rental fleet which will insure its survival. Future prices for natural gas
are moving above the $1.50 per MCF range as the shoulder months of fall
approach. The Company is well positioned to take full advantage of opportunities
which will arise if gas and oil prices regain seasonal strength, but as stated
previously, oil and gas are commodities and the selling price cannot be
controlled or influenced by the actions of management.


Results of Operations:

For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Company had a net loss, of $81,100
or $1.13 per share, compared to a loss of $197,800, or $2.75 per share for the
same period of 1994 (1994's loss included $33,100 in Preferred Stock Dividends
or $0.46 per share). For the three month period ended June 30, 1995 the loss was
$40,200 compared to $84,400 in 1994 or $0.56 loss per share vs. $1.17 (which
included $0.05 per share of Preferred Stock Dividends) for the respective
periods.

Oil and gas sales declined 11% and 3% for the six and three month periods ending
June 30, 1995 compared to 1994 results. Oil and gas production costs declined
69% and 72% for the same periods.

The following table shows the components of these changes on a production unit
basis:

Production declines are attributed to one oil well with mechanical problems and
one gas well with an increase in H2S content being shut-in. The Company
experienced substantial

workover costs in 1994 which were not repeated in 1995. Compressor rental income
decreased by 15% and 31% for the six and three month periods while cost
decreased 37% and 34% for the comparable periods. Gross compressor profits were
$103,000 and $52,700 for the six month period in 1995 compared to $100,600 and
$66,300 in 1994.

The compression business segment contributed approximately 10% of the Company's
loss for the periods shown while it consumed nearly 100% of the Company's cash
flow from operating activities to service indebtedness associated with the
acquisition of the rental fleet and related assets.

During the six months of 1994 the Company sold its interests in 19 wells located
in Oklahoma. The total proceeds were $144,000 resulting in a gain of $125,100.
During the same period in 1995 the Company sold interest in four wells having a
net gain of $3,900.

The dry hole and exploration expense of $44,200 represents a dry hole drilled by
the Company in the first quarter of 1994. No wells have been drilled in 1995.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization is comparable between periods shown.

General and administrative expenses have remained consistent for the first two
quarters of 1995 and the decreases from 1994 levels reflects the departure of
two officers-directors, the closing of the offices in downtown Denver, and the
deferral of the audit for 1994.

The efforts of the Company's management and employees are far greater than the
results reflected in the first six months of 1995. The goal of a profitable
operation remains elusive but attainable.
