AMERICAN INDUSTRIES, LTD.
PART 1
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
(a) (1) The Registrant is in good standing with the Secretary
of State of Nevada and essentially has operated as a holding
company since its incorporation December 26, 1919 through the date
hereof. In the early 1970's due to the number of shareholders it
had acquired together with capital assets of $l million plus, it
was required by the Securities Exchange Commission to file a Form
10 Registration under the 33, 34 Acts.
(2) American Industries, Ltd. has changed its name, but
formerly owned and operated G. W. Hume Industries, Inc., American
Health Services, Inc., American Resources, Inc. Toquima Stores
Company, as well as many other subsidiaries in the businesses of
general stores, mining and exploration, leasing, hospitals, nursing
homes, processing, food canning and sales, mortgage and loan
company, ecology products, sales and service.
(3) For the past five years, Registrant has continued to
operate as a holding company handling its affairs to acquire
acquisitions, consult and provide services for management
portfolios, loan applications, and packaging for loans and
mortgages on a fee basis conserving and managing its operation
capital of bank deposits, foreign bank accounts accruing interest
as reflected in financial statements.
(4) Registrant divested itself of its wholly-owned
subsidiary, mining company, Savahai Inc., in 1986 to protect the
Registrant's cash and assets.
(5) Registrant, Debtor in Possession, was dismissed from
Chapter 11 Reorganization after fulfillment of its obligations.
The trustee returned the Registrant's cash, U.S. bank account as
well as foreign bank account to the company.
(b) (1) During the year 1919 through 1920, Registrant's
securities were trading on the San Francisco Exchange.
Registrant's securities were exempt from the 33 and 34 Securities
Act from 1920 until 1970. In the 1970's, due to the company's
number of shareholders and assets, Registrant became qualified and
was required to file a Form 10 registration with the Securities
Exchange Commission. From the 1970's, Registrant listed on the
exchange OTC, trading symbol AMII, a trading company for several
years until late 1983. Thereafter the company continued as a
<PAGE> 4
reporting company after de-listing from NASDAQ no longer subject to
bid and ask quotes for the Registrant's stockholders to trade their
securities through the NASDAQ system.
(2) Subsidiaries - Registrant currently has one wholly-owned
subsidiary, Global Technologies S.A., a foreign subsidiary.
Since the acquisition of subsidiary the company has pursued the
same endeavors, and is similar to the operation of Global
Technologies S.A. which has been managing its affairs operating as
a holding company, to consult and provide services and to establish
a cash flow to take advantage of the European Community, 15 nations
approved in January 1995, and has been building its reputation in
negotiations of acquisitions to service the European Community in
conjunction with Registrant's servicing the U.S. Community in
business relationships beneficial to U.S. and foreign countries.
Further, American Industries Ltd. at the time of acquisition was
not aware of the reporting requirements of Global Technologies
reported herein as follows;
1989 to 1993 Global Technologies S.A. was with minimum
income at the time of acquisition. The company has filed its
required reports with Official Register of Commerce in Luxembourg
in accordance with Luxembourg Laws.
May 1993 to the date hereof the Registrant, American
Industries, Ltd. has been subjected to substantial accounting,
computer services, and other expenses not originally anticipated in
the acquisition. September 1994 Registrant, American Industries,
Ltd., paid subsidiary's, Global Technologies S.A., taxes and fees
to the Luxembourg Government in the amount of $38,500 to bring the
subsidiary current with its filings and taxes.
(c) Registrant has had major changes in the company's
business since the fiscal year ending March 31, 1994. Registrant's
management has continued to pursue and finalize acquisitions for
assets and cash, to protect its stockholders nationally and
internationally allowing the stockholders the opportunity to trade
their securities when Registrant's management is in a position to
re-establish its public trading position on the exchanges, either
U.S. or foreign or by private sales with cash flows sufficient to
pay the cost after which the Registrant and its Subsidiary Global
Technologies are in the position to provide more fully, promote its
services in both the U.S. and European Community.
(d) Registrant and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Global
Technologies S.A., since acquisition have continued to operate in
negotiating contracts and services together with acquisition
services to be rendered by Global Technologies S.A. to establish
operating cash flows both foreign and domestic.
<PAGE> 5
Global Technologies, S.A. is in stages of operations and
establishing International business as a holding company to service
the United European Community engaging in the business of financial
services, packaging loan applications. Global Technologies, S.A.
holding company under Luxembourg Law with financial assets of
historical perennial value provides liquidity for client guarantees
to obtain lower cost capital available in the common country
european markets in conjunction with U.S. markets with the
guarantees of the Registrant and subsidiary assets as security for
lenders.
Global Technologies S.A. and Registrant will service
clients in accordance with the Fair Trade and Financial Services
Act of 1990, International Banking Act of 1978, Securities and
Exchange Act of 34, Investment Advisor Act of 1940, encouraging
foreign countries to offer U.S. financial institutions that operate
or seek to operate in De Facto under the "De Facto Law" that
prevails in the International capital market arenas.
COMPETITION
The financial services that Global Technologies S.A. and
Registrant provide are some of the same services provided by many
other companies, in the financial service business such as banks,
U.S. and International companies who guarantee letters of credit,
warehouse receipts by providing sufficient assets as security for
loans additionally stock broker, market makers, financial services
companies foreign and U.S. The fees for services provided by most
of the well established U.S. and International financial services
make it highly competitive with limited strong competition for
Global Technologies S.A. and Registrant. Additionally, all
financial service agreements require extensive, expensive
investigation of company history, credit, stability requiring
substantial expenditures to be reimbursed within a period of six
months to a year or longer depending upon contractual arrangement.

includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company is a Holding Company organized under the laws of Nevada
in 1919. The Company's subsidiary, Global Technologies S.A. was
organized as a European Company under the laws of the Grand Duche
of Luxembourg. The consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles applicable in the United States of America and are
stated in United States dollars.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiary. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Investments in other companies where ownership is less than
20% are carried on the cost method of accounting.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company translates foreign assets and liabilities of its
subsidiary at the company's historical rate of exchange $33.18 per
LUF established at the time of acquisition of Global Technologies
S.A.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is computed on the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number
of shares was 20,000,000, 20,000,445 and 20,000,445 for the years
ended March 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997, respectively, as shown on

S.A. has been reduced to 500,000 shares of stock at 250 LUF per
share. 120,000 shares are still issued and outstanding, fully paid
and non-assessable. The decision to reduce the authorized capital
