Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
March 31, 1998 vs 1997
American had a loss of $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared
to a loss of $1,000 for the same period of 1997. The losses from continuing
operations for 1998 and 1997 were primarily due to the inability to generate
income to cover its overhead. American is currently inactive and does not
conduct any operations except through it's forty five percent owned subsidiary
Talmana which conducts a shrimp fishing and processing operation in Costa Rica.
The shrimp processed by Talmana are caught in company owned and operated fishing
vessels and purchased from independent fishermen. Talmana's products are sold
locally and exported to Europe, Japan and the United States. Talmana does not
report earnings on a quarterly basis and its earning have not been taken into
consideration in this report. The demand and pricing of Talmana's products vary
from season to season depending on availability of product worldwide. The first
quarter of the year is usually the weakest due to the shortage of product as a
result of adverse weather conditions off the west coast of Costa Rica. Inflation
and competition do not have any significant effect on Talmana's operation.
.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCE
American does not have adequate liquidity to maintain its current operation and
has closed its office in New Jersey. Its officers and directors loaned $40,000
to American, with an option to convert $30,000 of loans to 3,000,000 shares of
Americans common stock.They have indicated a willingness to loan any additonal
funds that might be required to meet American's ongoing obligations. American
intends to raise additonal funds through the private sale of its stock to
potential investors, however it has been unsuccessful to date.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS
March 31, 1998
NOTE 1-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Midland
Corporation ("American) and its wholly owned subsidiaries. American owns a forty
five percent interest in a Costa Rican shrimp fishing and processing company
("Talmana"). Talmana does not report earnings on a quarterly basis and its
results have not been taken into consideration in this report. American reports
this investment as an investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary on the equity
method, adjusted annually. All significant intercompany accounts have been
eliminated.
Going Concern
American has suffered recurring losses from operation and its current
obligations exceed its current assets. It has recently settled substantial
obligations and funded said settlements by loans, with an option to convert
$30,000 of said loans into 3,000,000 shares of common stock from its officers
and directors. It is continuing to attempt to raise additonal funds to pay its
current outstanding obligations and for future operations. These matters raise
substantial concern about American's ability to continue as a going concern.
Per Share Calculation
The computation of per share amounts is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding in each period. Common stock equivalents, which
include stock options are either insignificant or anti-dilutive.
Investments
Americans's ownership of a $3,000,000 10 year 6% redeemable preferred stock due
December 31, 2002 and it's ownership of forty five percent of the outstanding
common shares of Talmana S.A. is carried on its books as an investment in an
unconsolidated subsidiary. Dividends on the preferred stock may be paid in any
year in which Talmana has after tax earnings in excess of $1,500,000 if declared
by the board of directors of Talmana. Dividends not paid are accrued and payable
on the Redemption Date. No dividends have been paid. American's investment is
carried on the equity method and no accruals have been made for earned but
unpaid dividends.
