Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
        FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPT.  30, 1998 vs 1997

American had a loss of $1,000 for the nine months ended  Sept.30,  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
                                  Sept.30, 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.
