Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Management Representation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB
and does not include all the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of Management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The
results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily
indicative of results for the year. These statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and related
notes included in the Company's Annual Report to shareholders on
Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended June 30, 1996.
ITEM 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis
In the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 1996, the Company
was primarily engaged in the financial development of its
subsidiary business, Eleventh Hour, Inc. ("EHI"). For the six
month period just ending, the Company produced revenues of
$4,928,594 with a net loss of ($331,488). The loss was
attributed to costs associated with the restructuring of AMGC,
interest expenses on long term debt and the settlement of
professional service fees provided by third parties.
In the opinion of management, the Company has improved
significantly as compared to the period just ending. During the
quarter ended December 31, 1996, the Company successfully secured
a new financing contract with Concord Growth Corporation of Palo
Alto, California. The contract effectively reduces EHI's
interest expense on its accounts receivables financing by fifty
percent and improves EHI operating cash flow and profitability on
a going-forward basis.
During the quarter ended December 31, 1996, the Company
entered into a letter of intent with International Nursing
Services, Inc., (INS) concerning the proposed sale of Eleventh
Hour, Inc. to INS. The terms of the proposed transaction include
the transfer of the Eleventh Hour name and EHI assets to INS, as
well as certain liabilities of both EHI and AMGC, in return for
shares of the issued and outstanding common stock of INS, (stock
symbol: NURS). Although no assurance can be provided the
transaction will be closed successfully, management believes the
transaction represents an important opportunity for the Company
to improve asset value, reduce debt and increase shareholder
value overall. During the current period, the Company has been
able to successfully continue operations, to improve its position
in the marketplace, to acquire outside consulting expertise and
to strengthen its marketing strategies. All of these efforts
have been made for the purpose of increasing shareholders' equity
and profitability on a going forward basis. In the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1996, such efforts included the resolution of
numerous outstanding business matters related to the former
business of the Company, the reduction or elimination of
significant portions of short term debt and the adoption of new
measures designed to increase working capital and revenues.

ITEM 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis
In the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 1996, the Company
was primarily engaged in the financial development of its
subsidiary business, Eleventh Hour, Inc. ("EHI"). During the
quarter ended December 31, 1996, the Company signed a definitive
agreement with International Nursing Services, Inc., (INS)
concerning the proposed sale of Eleventh Hour, Inc. to INS. The
terms of the proposed transaction include the transfer of the
Eleventh Hour name and EHI assets to INS, as well as certain
liabilities of both EHI and AMGC, in return for shares of the
issued and outstanding common stock of INS, (stock symbol: NURS).
As of the date of filing of this report, the Company is awaiting
proxy approval from the Securities Exchange Commission to hold a
shareholder vote on the matter. Although no assurance can be
provided the transaction will be closed successfully, or that
proxy approval will be forthcoming, management believes the
transaction represents an important opportunity for the Company
to improve asset value, reduce debt and increase shareholder
value overall.
During the current period, the Company has been able to
successfully continue operations, to improve its position in the
marketplace, to acquire outside consulting expertise and to
strengthen its marketing strategies. All of these efforts have
been made for the purpose of increasing shareholders' equity and
profitability on a going forward basis. In the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1996, such efforts included the resolution of
numerous outstanding business matters related to the former
business of the Company, the reduction or elimination of
significant portions of short term debt and the adoption of new
measures designed to increase working capital and revenues. For
the six month period just ending, the Company produced revenues
of $4,928,594 with a net loss of ($331,488). The loss was
attributed to decreased performance of the subsidiary, costs
associated with the restructuring of AMGC, interest expenses on
long term debt and accounts receivable financing and the
settlement of professional service fees provided by third
parties.
In the opinion of management, the Company has improved
significantly as compared to the period just ending. During the
quarter ended December 31, 1996, the Company successfully secured
a new financing contract with Concord Growth Corporation of Palo
Alto, California. The contract effectively reduces EHI's
interest expense on its accounts receivables financing by fifty
percent and the Company believes it will improve EHI operating
cash flow and profitability on a going-forward basis.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalent's balance on December 31, 1996 was
$7 and current assets were $803,381. As of December 31, 1996,
the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,232,817 and a
stockholders' deficit of $2,322,376, which includes non-recurring
losses of $7,976,740 in fiscal 1995 sustained due to the write
down and liquidation of certain technology assets, resolution of
outstanding issues related to the former business of the Company
and internal restructuring of AMGC. Provided new sources of
working capital can be secured, in the opinion of management, the
Company will be able to successfully meet all of its current
obligations. However, no assurances can be given the Company
will be successful in these endeavors.
PART II.
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
During the quarter ended December 31, 1996, the Company was
a defendant in civil action 96-CV-1560, Division 5, Arapahoe
County, Colorado; Display Group, LLC vs. American Consolidated
Growth Corporation. The suit is a replevin action concerning the
Company's former shareholdings of ADTI common stock. Following a
preliminary finding of the Court, the shares were turned over to
Display Group, LLC, the management arm of Advanced Display
Technologies, Inc., a former affiliate of the Company, pending
the outcome of a jury trial. As of December 31, 1996, in the
opinion of special AMGC legal counsel, the Company is unable to
determine the outcome of the case. However, no other adverse
consequences are anticipated to occur as the ADTI shares were
written to a value of zero in fiscal 1995.
As of December 31, 1996, the Company was the subject of an
informal inquiry from the North Dakota Securities Commission
alleging potential breach of the State's "Blue Sky" securities
laws. The Company believes the inquiry is the outgrowth of
certain debt conversion negotiations with a North Dakota resident
concerning a $50,000 investment made in Eleventh Hour, Inc. in
prior years. As of December 31, 1996, the Company is unable to
determine the outcome of this matter and what, if any, material
or financial consequences may result.
