                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1994

                                  (UNAUDITED)


1. GENERAL 

     The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial statements of American
Holdings,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  as of March 31, 1995 and for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 reflect all  material  adjustments  consisting  of
only normal  recurring  adjustments  which,  in the opinion of  management,  are
necessary for a fair  presentation of results for the interim  periods.  Certain
information  and  footnote   disclosures   required  under  generally   accepted
accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted  pursuant to the rules and
regulations  of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  although the Company
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading.   These  consolidated   financial   statements  should  be  read  in
conjunction  with the  year-end  consolidated  financial  statements  and  notes
thereto  included  in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended December 31, 1994 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     The results of  operations  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1995 and
1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire
fiscal year or any other period.

     Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1994 consolidated financial
statements  to  conform  to  presentations  in the 1995  consolidated  financial
statements.  Such reclassifications have no effect on stockholders' equity or on
results of operations.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The  consolidated  financial  statements  include the  accounts of American
Holdings,   Inc.  (the  "Company")  and  its  wholly-owned   subsidiaries  after
elimination of all material intercompany accounts and transactions.

     The results of operations of NorthCorp Realty Advisors,  Inc. ("NorthCorp")
are  included in the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Operations  as equity in the
earnings of disposed-of subsidiary through the date of disposition in 1994.





<PAGE>

     The  acquisition  of an 80  percent  interest  in  Madis  Botanicals,  Inc.
("Madis")  occurred on January 3, 1995 and was  accounted for using the purchase
method.  In  accordance  with  Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No. 16, the
purchase  price will be allocated to the acquired  assets and  liabilities.  The
Company has  preliminarily  allocated  the purchase  price,  which is subject to
final determination after additional information is obtained.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     Cash and cash equivalents  consist primarily of cash on hand, cash in banks
and treasury bills purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.

     MARKETABLE SECURITIES

     The Company adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain  Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115")
as of  January  1,  1994.  SFAS  115  provides  that all  investments  are to be
classified  into three  categories:  debt  securities  that the  Company has the
positive   intent  and  ability  to  hold  to   maturity   are   classified   as
held-to-maturity  securities  and  reported at amortized  cost;  debt and equity
securities that are bought and held  principally for the purpose of selling them
in the near term are  classified  as trading  securities  and  reported  at fair
value,  with unrealized  gains and losses included in the results of operations;
and debt  and  equity  securities  not  classified  as  either  held-to-maturity
securities or trading securities are classified as available-for-sale securities
reported  at fair  value with  unrealized  gains and  losses  excluded  from the
results of  operations  and reported as a separate  component  of  stockholders'
equity.

     The Company accounts for securities transactions on a trade-date basis. For
computing  realized  gains or losses on sale of marketable  securities,  cost is
determined  on  a  first-in,  first-out  basis.  The  effect  of  all  unsettled
transactions is accrued in the consolidated financial statements.

     INVENTORIES

     Merchandise  inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

     FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT

     The Company  records all furniture and equipment at cost.  Depreciation  is
computed using the straight-line and  double-declining  balance methods over the
related  estimated useful life of the asset.  Gains or losses on dispositions of
furniture and equipment are included in operating results.


<PAGE>



     GOODWILL

     Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Madis is being amortized over 15
years using the straight-line method.

3.      PROFORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The proforma  consolidated  condensed  financial  information  reflects the
disposition  of NorthCorp and the  Washington,  D.C.  office of the Company (the
"Disposition") had the Disposition taken place on January 1, 1994. The financial
information  also  includes the  operations of Madis as if the  acquisition  had
taken place on the same date.

     The proforma  financial  information is not intended to reflect  results of
operations  which  would have  actually  resulted  had these  transactions  been
effected on the dates indicated.  Moreover,  this proforma financial data is not
intended to be indicative of results of operations  which may be attained in the
future.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations
         ---------------------------------------------

DISPOSITION OF A SUBSIDIARY

     On  September  21, 1993,  the Board of Directors of the Company  approved a
plan  to  distribute  the  common  stock  of  NorthCorp  Realty  Advisors,  Inc.
("NorthCorp"),  a real estate asset manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company,  to  all  holders  of  the  Company's  outstanding  common  stock  (the
"Distribution"). Under the plan of distribution, the Company declared a dividend
of one share of  NorthCorp  common  stock for every two shares of the  Company's
common stock outstanding on the record date of the Distribution, July 8, 1994.

     At the date of Distribution (July 11, 1994),  8,250,000 shares of NorthCorp
common  stock were  outstanding.  Approximately  4,000,000  shares,  or 48%,  of
NorthCorp's common stock were distributed to the stockholders of the Company.

     On August 4, 1994,  the Company  sold  substantially  all of its  remaining
interest  in  NorthCorp  (the "Sale") to Mr.  R. E.  Roark  and  NorthCorp  for
approximately $1.5 million.  Mr. Roark was the sole shareholder of Crown Revenue
Services, Inc. ("Crown"), a Resolution Trust Corporation contractor.  As part of
the transaction,  Crown was reorganized as a subsidiary of NorthCorp.  NorthCorp
also  assumed  the  lease  of the  Company's  Washington  D.C.  office  and  the
employment contract of one of the Company's executive officers.

     NorthCorp's  results of operations  have been included in the  consolidated
financial  statements through the date of sale in 1994 as equity in the earnings
of disposed-of subsidiary.

ACQUISITION OF MADIS BOTANICALS, INC.

     On January 3, 1995,  the  Company's  wholly-owned  subsidiary  merged  (the
"Merger") with Dr. Madis Laboratories, Inc., a New Jersey corporation located in
South Hackensack,  New Jersey. The surviving  corporation in the Merger operates
under  the name of Madis  Botanicals,  Inc.  ("Madis")  and is owned  80% by the
Company and 20% by the former  shareholders of Madis.  In addition,  the Company
issued to the former Madis shareholders options to acquire 250,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at its approximate book value of $2.10 per share.  Madis,
a manufacturer of botanical and medicinal  extracts,  had sales of approximately
$6.0 million and income before reorganization items and income taxes of $731,000
in 1994 compared to sales of $5.2 million and income before reorganization items
and income taxes of $594,000 in 1993.




<PAGE>




     The Merger was effected in connection  with a Plan of  Reorganization  (the
"Plan") filed by Madis in Chapter 11  proceedings  under the Federal  Bankruptcy
Law. Under the terms of the Merger, the Company financed the Plan which provided
for the payment to the creditors of $3.4 million,  of which  approximately  $2.3
million was advanced by the Company and approximately $900,000 was paid by Madis
from funds on hand. The balance of the  predecessor  corporation's  indebtedness
was assumed by the  surviving  corporation  and will be paid as due from working
capital or by the Company in the event of any deficiency.

     Two principal  shareholders  of Madis,  who were also  executive  officers,
received  employment  agreements under which one will serve as chairman emeritus
of the surviving  corporation for a period of three years at an annual salary of
$100,000 and the other will serve as president  for a period of four years at an
annual salary of $150,000.  The premises  occupied by the surviving  corporation
are leased from the former  Madis  shareholders  at an annual rent of  $240,000,
net,  plus 1% of gross  revenues up to an  additional  $200,000  per annum.  The
Company believes the rental represents the fair market value.

PROFORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     Proforma consolidated condensed financial information is included in Note 3
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The proforma information reflects
the  disposition of NorthCorp and the Washington D.C. office of the Company (the
"Disposition")  had the Disposition  taken place on January 1, 1994. The results
of  operations  also include the  operations of Madis as if the  acquisition  of
Madis had taken place on the same date.

     The proforma  financial  information is not intended to reflect  results of
operations  which  would have  actually  resulted  had these  transactions  been
effected on the dates indicated.  Moreover,  this proforma financial data is not
intended to be indicative of results of operations  which may be attained in the
future.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At March  31,  1995,  the  Company  had cash and cash  equivalents  of $9.1
million.  Cash equivalents of $8.8 million consisted of U.S. Treasury bills with
a maturity of less than three months and yields ranging between 5.53% and 5.99%.
The Company also had U.S. Treasury securities of $1.9 million with maturities in
August 1995 with a weighted average yield of 6.43%, and trading  securities with
a current  market  value of  approximately  $.8 million at March 31,  1995.  The





<PAGE>



Company had net working  capital of $12.0  million and had no funded  debt.
The management of the Company  believes that the Company's  financial  resources
and anticipated cash flows will be sufficient for future operations and possible
acquisitions of other operating businesses.

     In connection with the acquisition of NorthCorp by the Company in 1992, two
officers of NorthCorp  were paid an aggregate of $1,125,000 by NorthCorp,  which
was used to acquire an aggregate of 750,000  shares of Company  stock  ("Officer
Shares"). In addition,  the Company advanced $180,000 to each of the officers to
pay federal  income taxes  resulting  from this cash payment.  The advances bore
interest at the minimum  rate allowed  under the Internal  Revenue Code and were
secured by their shares of the Company's common stock.

     The advances  and accrued  interest  were repaid by the  officers  from the
proceeds  of a partial  sale of the Officer  Shares to the Company in  February,
1994,  in  connection  with their  resignation  as  officers  and  directors  of
NorthCorp.  The remaining shares were subsequently repurchased from the officers
in 1994.

     Including the aforementioned shares, the Company repurchased 733,508 shares
of its common stock at an aggregate  cost of  $1,183,000 in the first quarter of
1994 and 20,926  shares at an aggregate  cost of $30,500 in the first quarter of
1995.   All shares purchased in 1994 and 1995 have been returned to the status
of authorized but unissued shares.

     Net cash of approximately  $2.2 million was used in operations in the first
quarter of 1995.  Net  purchases  of  marketable  securities  and U.S.  Treasury
securities  with  maturities  greater  than  three  months of $1.6  million  and
decreases in current liabilities of $.7 million, principally at Madis, accounted
for this use of cash.

     In the first quarter of 1994, net cash of  approximately  $481,000 was used
in operations.  The principal  reason for this use of cash was a receivable from
broker  at  March  31,  1994  due  to  the  sale  of  marketable  securities  of
approximately  $1 million.  This receivable was converted into cash  equivalents
shortly after quarter end.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The  Company's  operations  resulted  in net income of $70,000 in the first
quarter  of 1995,  compared  to $20,000 in the  comparable  period of 1994.  The
consolidated  results of  operations  in 1994  reflect the equity in earnings of
NorthCorp.




<PAGE>



     Madis had sales of $1.6  million and $1.7  million in the first  quarter of
1995 and 1994,  respectively.  The cost of goods sold was $1.0  million in 1995,
compared to $1.1 million in 1994. As a consequence, gross margin was $.6 million
in the first  quarter  of 1995 and  1994.  Since  the  acquisition  of Madis was
accounted  for as a  purchase,  the  results  of  operations  of Madis have been
included in the  consolidated  financial  statements  since January 3, 1995, the
date of the acquisition.  Financial  information of Madis from the first quarter
of 1994 has been included only for comparison purposes.

     Interest,  dividend and other  income was $205,000 in the first  quarter of
1995,  an increase  of  $28,000,  or 15.8%,  from the  $177,000  recorded in the
comparable period in 1994.  Interest income was $163,000 in 1995, an increase of
$43,000,  or 35.8%, from the $120,000 recorded in 1994. This increase was due to
higher prevailing  interest rates in 1995 compared to 1994.  Dividend income was
$42,000 in 1995 compared to $1,000 in 1994. The increase in dividends was due to
a change in portfolio  composition.  All other income  decreased from $56,000 in
1994 to zero in 1995.  In 1994 all other income was revenue from the  Washington
D.C. office of the Company, which was disposed of on August 4, 1994.

     In the first quarter of 1995, the Company recorded net gains on  marketable
securities  of $6,000,  compared  to net gains of $17,000 in 1994.  Net gains on
marketable  securities  in 1995 are  composed  of  realized  gains of $9,000 and
unrealized  losses  of  $3,000,  compared  to  realized  losses  of  $2,000  and
unrealized  gains  of  $19,000  in the  first  quarter  of  1994.  A  charge  to
stockholders' equity of $742,000 was recorded in 1994 to reflect the decrease in
market  value of  securities  available  for  sale.  The  unrealized  losses  on
securities  held  for sale was  decreased  by  $119,000  in 1995 to  reflect  an
increase in the market  value of these  securities.  This net charge was related
primarily  to  the  Company's  investment  in a  real  estate  investment  trust
("REIT").  The  Company  had  undertaken  two  proxy  contests  to  protect  its
investment in the REIT.  The decrease in net gains on marketable  securities was
due to the changes in portfolio composition and general market conditions.

     Personnel expenses were $401,000 in the first quarter of 1995,  compared to
$168,000  in the  comparable  quarter  of 1994.  This  increase  was due  almost
entirely to the  acquisition  of Madis.  Professional  fees were  $86,000 in the
first  quarter of 1995,  a decrease of $65,000  from the first  quarter of 1994.
Professional  fees were  incurred  in the latter  quarter in a proxy  contest in
connection with the Company's  investment in the REIT. The professional  fees in
1995 were incurred  primarily in the  operations of Madis.  Other  expenses also
increased by $109,000 due principally to the  acquisition of Madis.  Included in
this number is the  amortization  of goodwill of $39,000.
