     AMBASSADORS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The consolidated financial statements included herein have been
         prepared by Ambassadors International, Inc. (the Company), without
         audit, 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 as permitted by such rules and regulations.  The Company
         believes the disclosures included herein are adequate; however,
         these consolidated statements should be read in conjunction with
         the financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended
         December 31, 1996 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange
         Commission on Form 10-KSB.

         In the opinion of management, these unaudited, consolidated
         financial statements contain all of the adjustments (normal and
         recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the consolidated
         financial position of the Company at September 30, 1997, the
         consolidated results of operations for the nine- and three-month
         periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and the consolidated cash
         flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. 
         The results of operations for the periods presented may not be
         indicative of those which may be expected for the full year.


     2.  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

         The Company was incorporated in the state of Washington in 1967 and
         was reincorporated on August 4, 1995 in the state of Delaware.  The
         consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 
         Ambassadors International, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Ambassador
         Programs, Inc. (API), The Helin Organization (Helin), and
         Ambassador Performance Group, Inc. (APG). Hereafter, API may be
         referred to as Ambassadors Education Group; Helin, individually,
         may be referred to as Ambassadors Performance Group - Newport
         Beach. APG may be referred to as Ambassador Performance Group -
         Minneapolis; and collectively, Helin and APG may be referred to as
         the Ambassador Performance Group.  All significant intercompany
         accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

     3.  INCOME TAXES

         For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
         the Company recorded an income tax provision at the estimated
         effective income tax rate.

     4.  INVESTMENTS

         Included in investments is available for sale equity securities in
         the amounts of $226,386 and $590,111 at September 30, 1997 and

     Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking
     statements.  A forward-looking statement may contain words such as
     "will continue to be," "will be," "continue to," "expect to,"
     "anticipates that," "to be" or "can impact." Management cautions that
     forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that
     could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from
     those projected in forward-looking statements.

     COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 TO THE THREE MONTHS
     ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

     During the first quarter of 1996, the Company and its subsidiary
     acquired two other companies which operate travel programs.  Although
     these companies contributed to the gross program receipts and revenue
     of the consolidated group in the nine months of 1996, due to the timing
     of the acquisitions and future changes which management has made or
     plans to make in the future to the operations of these companies,
     management believes that the future contribution and profitability of
     these two acquisitions will continue to improve.  During the third
     quarter of 1997, the Company and its subsidiary also acquired another
     company which provides employee incentive programs.

     GROSS PROGRAM RECEIPTS AND REVENUES
     -----------------------------------
     Gross program receipts increased to $29.0 million in the third quarter
     of 1997 from $19.8 million in the third quarter of 1996.  This increase
     can be principally attributed to a 31% increase in the number of
     program participants, principally attributed to growth within API as
     well as an acquisition within APG in late 1996.  The number of program
     participants traveling during the third quarter of 1997 was 6,012
     compared to 4,574 in the comparable 1996 period.

     While gross program receipts increased 47% for the third quarter of
     1997, revenues increased 62% to $9.5 million from $5.9 million.  Most
     of this increase in revenues is the result of selling a greater volume
     of the Company's higher-margin products.

     SELLING AND TOUR PROMOTION EXPENSES
     -----------------------------------
     The Company's policy is to expense all selling and tour promotion costs
     as they are incurred.

     For the third quarter of 1997, selling and tour promotion expenses were
     $3.3 million compared to $2.5 million in the prior year.  This increase
     is the result of the acquisition of the Ambassador Performance Group -
     Minneapolis and the assumption of their marketing costs, combined with
     increased Ambassador Programs marketing costs for 1998 programs.
     <PAGE>
     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
     -----------------------------------
     An acquisition in late 1996 in the Ambassador Performance Group caused
     general and administrative expenses to increase to $2.0 million in the
     third quarter of 1997 from $1.3 million in the third quarter of 1996.

     OTHER INCOME/EXPENSE
     --------------------
     Other income primarily consists of interest income and unrealized
     foreign currency gains or losses.  Other income increased to $375,000
     in the third quarter of 1997 from the third quarter of 1996 of
     $306,000.  This increase is primarily attributed to a 60% increase in
     interest and dividend income due to higher balances of invested cash
     during the 1997 period.

     INCOME TAXES
     ------------
     The Company has recorded an income tax provision of approximately $1.6
     million for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 in comparison to $0.8
     million income tax provision for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. 
     The income tax provision is based on the estimated annual effective tax
     rate of 35% and 34% for 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE
     ---------------------------------
     The above factors resulted in the Company reporting net income of
     $3.0 million or $0.44 per share for the third quarter of 1997 compared
     to net income of $1.6 million or $0.24 per share in the comparable 1996
     quarter.

     SEASONALITY
     -----------
     Due to the seasonality of the core business of Ambassadors
     International, Inc., the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year
     have significantly fewer programs traveling than the second and third
     quarters of the year.  Thus, the net income reported in any quarter may
     not be indicative of the annual income.

     COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 TO THE NINE MONTHS
     ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

     GROSS PROGRAM RECEIPTS AND REVENUES
     -----------------------------------
     Gross program receipts increased to $72.1 million in 1997 from $49.9
     million in 1996.  This increase can be principally attributed to the
     increase in the number of program participants and an acquisition
     within the Ambassador Performance Group in late 1996.

     The number of program participants traveling during the nine months
     increased to 15,736 in 1997 from 13,094 in 1996.  This 20% increase in
     program participants was the principal cause of the 41% increase in
     revenues for the first nine months of 1997 in comparison to the same
     period in 1996.
     <PAGE>
     SELLING AND TOUR PROMOTION EXPENSES
     -----------------------------------
     Selling and tour promotion expenses for the first nine months of 1997
     increased from 1996 by $1.3 million.  This increase can be primarily
     attributed to additional expenses incurred by Ambassador Performance
     Group - Minneapolis, acquired in late 1996.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
     -----------------------------------
     General and administrative expenses increased to $5.7 million for the
     first nine months of 1997 from $4.1 million for the first nine months
     of 1996.  This increase is principally due to costs associated with the
     aforementioned acquisition.

     OTHER INCOME/EXPENSE
     --------------------
     Other income primarily includes interest income and unrealized foreign
     currency gains or losses.  Other income decreased $0.3 million for the
     first nine months of 1997 in comparison to the same period in 1996. 
     The majority of this decrease is due to foreign currency net unrealized
     and realized losses of $0.5 million in 1997, compared to net unrealized
     and realized gains of $0.2 million in 1996.  This decrease was
     partially offset by $0.4 million of increased interest income in 1997
     due to increased invested cash amounts.

     The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts and foreign
     currency option contracts to offset certain operational exposures from
     changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  These foreign exchange
     contracts and options are entered into to support normal recurring
     purchases, and accordingly, are not entered into for speculative
     purposes.  Forward foreign exchange contracts are utilized to manage
     the risk associated with currency fluctuations on certain purchase
     commitments.  The Company is exposed to credit risk under the forward
     contracts and options to the extent that the counterparty is unable to
     perform under the agreement.  The Company anticipates hedging the
     majority of its foreign currency risk in future periods.  There can be
     no assurance that the Company's hedging strategies will be successful
     in mitigating the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.  The face
     amount of forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding at 
     September 30, 1997 was $15.1 million.

     INCOME TAXES
     ------------
     The Company has recorded an income tax provision of approximately 
     $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 in comparison
     to $2.5 million income tax provision for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1996.  The 1997 and 1996 income tax provisions are based
     on the estimated annual effective tax rate of 35% and 34%,
     respectively.

     NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE
     ---------------------------------
     The above factors resulted in the Company reporting net income of $7.0
     million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 in comparison to
     $4.8 million in the same period of the prior year.  This corresponds to
     $1.04 net income per share in 1997 versus $0.73 net income per share in
     the 1996 period.
     <PAGE>
     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     -------------------------------
     The Company's business is not capital intensive.  However, the Company
     does retain funds for operating purposes in order to conduct sales and
     marketing efforts for future programs and to facilitate acquisitions of
     other companies.

     Net cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30,
     1997 and 1996, respectively, was approximately $7.9 million and $6.1
     million.  The increase in cash flows from 1996 to 1997 can be
     attributed to the timing of cash receipts from participants and the
     increase in net income.

     During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company used
     approximately $1.1 million in investing activities, which partially
     related to the costs for the remodeling of the Company's corporate
     headquarters building.  The Company does not have any material capital
     expenditure commitments for the ensuing year.  However, the Company is
     continuing to pursue further acquisitions of related businesses that
     may require some of its available cash and cash equivalents.

     The Company had no significant long- or short-term debt as of 
     September 30, 1997.  The Company has a credit facility available with
     Seafirst Bank for $23.0 million (U.S.) for foreign currency purchases
     and forward contracts.

     At September 30, 1997, the Company had approximately $25.0 million of
     cash and cash equivalents.  Management believes cash flows from
     operations will be sufficient to fund the Company's anticipated
     operating needs, capital expenditures and acquisitions for the ensuing
     year.

     FOREIGN CURRENCY; HEDGING POLICY
     ---------------------------------
     The substantial majority of the Company s programs take place outside
     of the United States and most foreign suppliers require payment in
     their own currency rather than U.S. dollars.  Accordingly, the Company
     is exposed to foreign currency risks in certain countries as foreign
     currency exchange rates between those currencies and the U.S. dollar
     fluctuate.  In 1993, the Company initiated a program to hedge against
     these foreign currency risks in the currencies of countries in which
     the largest amount of program pass-through expenses are denominated in
     foreign currency.  To hedge against foreign currency risks, the Company
     has used forward contracts which allow the Company to acquire the
     foreign currency at a fixed price for a specified period of time.  The
     Company also uses foreign currency call options which provide the
     Company with the option to acquire certain foreign currencies at a
     fixed exchange rate and time period.  Concurrent with the purchase of a
     foreign currency call option, the Company sells a foreign currency 
     put option to minimize the net premium paid for the call option.  The
     strike prices on these options generally straddle the exchange rate at
     the time the options are purchased and sold.  Additionally, the Company
     purchases futures contracts to similarly hedge its foreign currency
     risk.  The Company is exposed to credit risk under the forward
     <PAGE>
     contracts and options to the extent that the counterparty is unable to
     perform under the agreement.  The Company anticipates hedging the
     majority of its foreign currency risk in future periods.  There can be
     no assurance that the Company s hedging strategies will be successful
     in mitigating the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

     NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
     -----------------------------
     In February 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128
     (SFAS 128), "Earnings Per Share" was issued. SFAS 128 establishes
     standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS) and
     simplifies the existing standards. This standard replaces the
     presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. It also
     requires the dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of
     the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures
     and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the
     diluted EPS computation. SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements
     issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim
     periods and requires restatement of all prior-period EPS data
     presented. The Company does not believe the application of this
     standard will have a material effect on the presentation of its EPS.

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
     SFAS No. 130, "Comprehensive Income" (SFAS No. 130).  SFAS No. 130
     becomes effective in 1998 and requires reclassification of earlier
     financial statements for comparative purposes.  SFAS No. 130 requires
     that amounts of certain items, including foreign currency translation
     adjustments and gains and losses on certain securities, be included in
     comprehensive income in the financial statements.  SFAS No. 130 does
     not require a specific format for the financial statement in which
     comprehensive income is reported, but does require that an amount
     representing total comprehensive income be reported in that statement. 
     Management has not yet determined the effect, if any, of SFAS No. 130
     on the consolidated financial statements.

     Also in June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
     Segments for an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS No. 131). 
     This Statement will change the way public companies report information
     about segments of their business in their annual financial statements
     and requires them to report selected segment information in their
     quarterly reports issued to shareholders.  It also requires entity-wide
     disclosures about the products and services an entity provides, the
     material countries in which it holds assets and reports revenues, and
     its major customers.  The Statement is effective for fiscal years
     beginning after December 15, 1997.  Management has not yet determined
     the effect, if any, of SFAS No. 131 on the consolidated financial
     statements.
