December 31, 2017

Note 1 - General

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim condensed financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its June 30, 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2018.

Note 2 – Basic Loss Per Share of Common Stock

The basic loss per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding during the period of the financial statements. Stock warrants convertible into 10,933,334 shares of common stock have not been included in the fully diluted income per share calculation for the three or six months ended December 31, 2017 or the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, thereby reducing the net loss per common share.

Note 6 – Other Contingencies – Litigation

In August, 2014, we initiated separate legal actions in Pakistan for an injunction against Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (“Sui Southern”) and Hycarbex-American Energy, Inc. (“Hycarbex”), respectively, in furtherance of the prior interim orders of the Arbitration Tribunal. The new action filed in the Sindh, Karachi High Court named as defendants Sui Southern, Hycarbex, its parent company, Hycarbex Asia Pte. Ltd. (“Hycarbex Asia”) and two additional pro forma defendants and requests an injunction against Sui Southern against payment to Hycarbex of 18% of the total proceeds of gas sales. The requested injunction was granted to us by the Karachi Court but later vacated as premature as it pertains to the third party gas gatherer. However, we also filed in the Islamabad High Court an action against Hycarbex, Hycarbex Asia and Hydro Tur as defendants and obtained injunctive relief against Hycarbex from interference with the Arbitration Tribunal-ordered notifications to Sui Southern to pay us directly our 18% of production, and injunctive relief requiring Hycarbex to escrow the 18% of production which would have been payable to the Company. On April 15, 2015, the ICC Arbitration Tribunal rendered its Partial Final Award in the pending arbitration proceedings which declared that the November 9, 2003 Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company, Hycarbex and Hydro-Tur, which was amended on February 16, 2004, and December 15, 2009, is void ab initio and of no legal effect on account of the fraud and misrepresentations of Hycarbex, Hydro-Tur and Hycarbex-Asia and that the Company is thus the 100% owner of the common stock of Hycarbex relating back to the original Stock Purchase Agreement date of November 9, 2003. In connection with its findings, the ICC Arbitration Tribunal ordered that the register of shareholders for Hycarbex be corrected to reflect the Company as the owner of 100% of the common stock, that Hycarbex and Hycarbex-Asia take any and all steps necessary to effect the rectification of the register of shareholders of Hycarbex to reflect the Company as the owner of 100% of the common stock, and that Hycarbex and Hycarbex-Asia bear all costs of the arbitration proceedings, including the Company’s legal costs, which costs and fees are to be fixed by the ICC Arbitration Tribunal in a subsequent award after submission of the total costs and fees by AEGG. The ICC Arbitration Tribunal dismissed Hydro-Tur’s application for costs. The April 15 Award makes moot certain of the pending actions in Pakistan due to the recovery of ownership of 100% of the stock of Hycarbex.

THE AMERICAN ENERGY GROUP, LTD.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements

December 31, 2017

The Company has affected the shareholder and management registration changes ordered by the ICC and has caused Hycarbex to open a new office in Islamabad, Pakistan for Hycarbex’s future operations. The new management of Hycarbex has also assumed control of Hycarbex’s Pakistan personnel. Finally, the new management of Hycarbex has begun its efforts to assume complete control of the Pakistan-based assets, including review and appraisement of each asset and interfacing with the local oil and gas regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over those assets to assure regulatory compliance. The assumption of complete control of the Hycarbex Pakistan-based assets is expected to take several months and be completed in calendar year 2018.

Note 7 – Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At December 31, 2017, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets and it has recorded negative cash flows from operations. The preceding circumstances combine to raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has been successful in capital raises in the past to continue operations, but there can be no assurance that success will continue in the future.

Note 8 – Subsequent Events

In accordance with ASC 855-10, management of the Company has reviewed all material events from December 31, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued. There were no other material events that warrant any additional disclosure.

Overview

On April 15, 2015, the ICC Arbitration Tribunal rendered its Partial Final Award in the pending arbitration proceedings which declared that the November 9, 2003 sale of 100% of the stock of Hycarbex is void ab initio and of no legal effect on account of the fraud and misrepresentations of Hycarbex, Hydro-Tur and Hycarbex-Asia, thereby returning the Company to its 100% ownership position of the common stock of Hycarbex which it held in calendar 2003. In connection with its findings, the ICC Arbitration Tribunal ordered that the register of shareholders for Hycarbex be corrected to reflect the Company as the owner of 100% of the common stock, that Hycarbex and Hycarbex-Asia take any and all steps necessary to effect the rectification of the register of shareholders of Hycarbex to reflect the Company as the owner of 100% of the common stock, and that Hycarbex and Hycarbex-Asia bear all costs of the arbitration proceedings, including the Company’s legal costs, which costs and fees are to be fixed by the ICC Arbitration Tribunal in a subsequent award after submission of the total costs and fees by AEGG. The ICC Arbitration Tribunal dismissed Hydro-Tur’s application for costs. The April 15 Award made moot certain of the pending actions in Pakistan due to the recovery of ownership of 100% of the stock of Hycarbex. The Company has effected the shareholder and management registration changes ordered by the ICC and has caused Hycarbex to open a new office in Islamabad, Pakistan for Hycarbex’s future operations. New management of Hycarbex has also assumed control of Hycarbex’s Pakistan personnel. New Hycarbex management has begun its efforts to assume complete control of the Pakistan-based assets, including review and appraisement of each asset, interfacing with the local oil and gas regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over those assets to assure regulatory compliance, and continuation of legal proceedings where necessary to enforce its rights. The assumption of complete control of the Hycarbex Pakistan-based assets is expected to take several more months and be completed in calendar year 2018.

During the year ended June 30, 2016, we were advised by Heritage Oil and Gas Limited (Heritage), the operator of both the Zamzama North and the Sanjawi Exploration Licenses, that both a Notice of Termination (Sanjawi Petroleum Concession Agreement – notice dated February 12, 2016) and a Notice of Breach (Zamzama North Petroleum Concession Agreement – notice dated February 22, 2016) were issued to Heritage by the Director General of Petroleum Concessions of the Government of Pakistan. With respect to the Sanjawi Petroleum Concession, Heritage has acknowledged and accepted the notice of termination in regards to the Sanjawi Petroleum Concession Agreement because of local safety concerns which could substantially impair development operations.. With regard to the Notice of Breach pertaining to the Zamzama North Petroleum Concession Agreement, Heritage has contested the notice while asserting that all reasonable efforts have been made to fulfill its work commitments and financial obligations under the Concession Agreement but was prevented from achieving the tasks for reasons outside its control. Despite the force majeure assertions under the terms of the Concession Agreement to the DGPC, we have determined that it is reasonably possible that our working interest investment in the Zamzama North Block may be lost if the Concession Agreement is terminated.

Results of Operations

Our operations for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2017 reflected net (losses) of $(211,734) and $(371,395), respectively, as compared to net losses of $(196,551) and $(694,461), respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016. The increase in net income from the prior year is predominately the result of a prior loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $258,183 related to the extension of stock warrants.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have funded our operations through private loans and the private sale of securities due to the non-payment by Hycarbex of the 18% of production revenues from the Haseeb #1 Well while the litigation and arbitration proceedings with the Hycarbex parties was ongoing. We sold 857,143 shares during the six months ended December 31, 2017 for $60,000. The funds have been and will continue to be utilized for general and administrative expenses incurred by the Company, including the non-recurring legal and accounting costs and the administrative expenses incurred by the newly acquired subsidiary, Hycarbex.

While the April 15 Arbitration Award decreed that we are the 100% owner of Hycarbex, the recent cessation of production from the Haseeb #1 Well due to water infusion into the wellbore will mean that production revenues will not be available as a source of capital unless and until the well is successfully reworked to correct the problem and re-establish commercial production. Based upon available cost estimates, management believes that Hycarbex can bear these workover costs with funds on hand and has formulated the workover plan. While a successful workover of the Haseeb #1 Well cannot be assured, due to the available technical data, management believes that the well can be repaired so as to re-establish commercial gas production. Management is likewise optimistic that its ongoing negotiations with potential strategic development partners will result in the consummation of a transaction which will provide needed capital for the development of the other Hycarbex exploration licenses and funding of future administrative costs. We will seek additional loans or make additional sales of securities in the future, as necessary, to fund the Company’s working capital needs as they arise in the event that the anticipated results are not achieved. There is no assurance of management’s ability to secure loans or consummate securities sales to meet working capital requirements.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no off balance sheet arrangements during the six months ended December 31, 2017.

ITEM 3-QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is not a party to nor does it engage in any activities associated with derivative financial instruments, other financial instruments and/or derivative commodity instruments.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Principal Executive

Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2017, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no material changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and circumvention by collusion or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control system may not prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
