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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 
SEPTEMBER 30,1996 vs 1995

American had a loss of $6,000 for the nine months ended
September 30,1996 compared to a loss of $15,000 for the same period of
1995.  The losses from continuing operations for 1996 and 1995 were
primarily due to the inability to generate sufficient 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 vs 1995.  

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results
of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 also pertain
to the corresponding three month period.

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 $46,000 to American, with an option to convert $30,000
of loans to 3,000 shares of Americans common stock.They  have
indicated a willingness to loan any additonal funds that might be required
to meeet American's ongoing obligations.  American paid the FDIC
$100,000 and Nations Bank $5,000 in full settlement of their judgments. 
It has agreed to pay Steven Bernstein a former officer of the company
$36,000 in full settlement of American's obligation to him.  Eight
thousand ($8,000 ) has been paid to him through the end of September. 
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
                               September 30, 1996

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.
