AMERICAN PETRO-HUNTER INC.

Notes to the financial statements

For the nine months ended September 30, 2004

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Company believes that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003.

As of September 30, 2004, the Company has not reached a level of operations which would finance day-to day activities. These financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company is a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. Different bases of measurement may be appropriate when a company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds therefrom and/or raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. The Company incurred losses from operations of $37,760 and $31,970 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 respectively. The Company had working capital deficiencies of $209,793 as of September 30, 2004 and $229,033 as of September 30, 2003. These conditions give rise to substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004:

(i) The Company paid or accrued $17,278 (2003 - $17,331) for management fees to a director.

(ii) A total of $10,582 (2003 - $8,658) was paid or accrued to a company owned by a director of the Company for accounting fees, office services and rent.

(iii) Accounts payable includes $26,003 (2003 - $28,875) payable to a director and a company owned by a director for services, disbursements, and advances to the Company.

(iv) The Company issued 385,000 (2003 - 390,000) common shares at a value of $46,200 (2003 - $23,400) to two directors of the Company for services rendered to the Company.

Item 2 - Management Discussion and Analysis

(a) Liquidity

The Company is experiencing illiquidity and has been dependent upon shareholders and directors to provide funds to maintain its activities. At September 30, 2004, the balance of funds loaned by the shareholders amounted to $33,004, which is included in accounts payable. In addition, at September 30, 2004 two directors have advanced $14,647 to the Company, which is also included in accounts payable. There are no specific terms of repayment.

(b) Capital Resources

The Company had a working capital deficiency of $209,793 at September 30, 2004. As noted above, the Company is receiving funding from shareholders and directors.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, the Company incurred a net loss of $37,760.

Administration expenses for the nine-month period amounted to $19,099 compared to $13,495 in the same period of 2003, mainly due to increases resulting from revaluing Canadian dollar denominated accounts payable into U.S. dollars at rates which have increased in value compared to the U.S. dollar in the current year. Current expenses denominated in Canadian dollars while comparable in Canadian dollars in both periods, are likewise higher in U.S. dollars because of the increase in value of the Canadian dollar.

(d) Stock Options

During the 2004 nine-month period, 5,000 stock options to purchase shares of the Company were cancelled. The Company currently has 803,000 stock options outstanding, of which 3,000 are priced at $3.00 with an expiry date of March 20, 2005, and 800,000 are priced at $0.15 with an expiry date of October 31, 2006.

Item 3 - Controls and Procedures

As required by SEC rules, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based on this evaluation, these officers have concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
