PART 1

Item 1. Business
- ------- --------

The primary business of the Company is the operation and
ownership of Mad River Community Hospital (the Hospital) and
satellite clinics, located in the Humboldt County area of
Northern California.

Over the last several years the Company has expanded the scope
of services offered by the Hospital to include advanced
ancillary service departments used by physicians practicing in
the rural service area. As a result of the ongoing expansion
of facilities and services, the Hospital continues to recruit
new physicians to provide the added care as well as to replace
physicians who are retiring from active practice. The
Hospital's service area on the north coast is experiencing the
highest rate of growth in the county and is especially
attractive to physicians who want to live and work in a
community with high family values.

The nearest competition to the Hospital is in Eureka
(approximately 12 miles south) where two acute care facilities
are located. Management of the Hospital feels that as long as
it maintains a strong position in providing a full scope of
health care services, the facilities located in Eureka will
have less of a negative impact on Hospital use or occupancy.
For this reason, the Hospital organized out-patient clinics in
the outlying communities thereby maintaining the Hospital's
presence in the service area. New buildings are planned for
those departments still housed in mobile facilities adjacent
to the Hospital. In addition, a cath-lab was opened in the
spring of 1998 and a M.R.I.
is currently under construction.

Another positive factor supporting Hospital use is community
involvement. As the largest private employer in Arcata, the
Hospital provides employment to approximately 520 local
residents and, through its Home Health and Adult Day Health
Care departments, is highly visible in the community served.
The Hospital continues to try to build on this strength by
maintaining a strong image through the media and a helping
hand in the community, while providing personalized quality
services. The Hospital is a strong advocate for a community
health care plan involving the medical staff, employers and
the area's hospitals and health care providers wherein they
will work together to provide a locally based alternative to
out of the area managed care.

As the health care industry is dependent on government payment
of care for the elderly and indigent, the Hospital may be
negatively impacted by new Government regulations. As
mentioned above, the Hospital is working diligently to
establish a community health care plan that could compete with
the various outside managed care plans planning to enter the
Humboldt County area.

Item 2. Properties
- ------- ----------

The main facility operated by the Company is Mad River
Community Hospital in Arcata, California. This single-level
structure is licensed as a 78-bed acute hospital in Northern
Humboldt County, California, where it provides full hospital
services to a population of approximately 55,000. Since
opening in 1972, the Hospital has maintained a program of
expansion and improvements. It is located on 12 acres (part of
a 48 acre site) adjacent to an expanded medical office complex
owned by staff doctors which leaves sufficient open area for
further expansion of medical services as needed.

The Company owns 27 acres of land approximately 4 miles from
the Hospital held for future residential development. A house
and barn on the property is currently used as an office, guest
quarters and storage space for the Company. The Company owns a
personal residence adjacent to the Hospital that had been used
as a physician's office. This acquisition was made to
facilitate a continued favorable occupancy by a
hospital-related specialty and is presently being leased to an
unrelated private resident, providing a child day care service
to hospital employees. The Company also owns residences and
commercial properties in Eureka and McKinleyville, California.
From time to time, the Company acquires real estate being held
for investment purposes.

As part of its outreach program, the Company owns and operates
medical office buildings under the name of Willow Creek Six
Rivers Medical Center in Willow Creek, California (38 miles
east of the Hospital). The Company also owns and operates real
property in McKinleyville which provides laboratory and
radiology outpatient services. It also operates an after-hours
clinic at this location.

Adult Day Health Care of Mad River , a separate not-for-profit
organization, is operating an adult day health care facility
in a building adjacent to and owned by Mad River Community
Hospital. Michael Young, Controller of the Company, is
functioning as Adult Day Health Care's Administrator and
performs minimal accounting services for the organization. To
meet the growing demands for this service, the existing
building will be expanded. This entity will continue to lease
the facility from the Hospital.

Item 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
- ------ ---------------------------------------------

1998
----

Results of Operations
---------------------

Hospital revenues increased slightly during 1998 as the
Hospital continues to expand services to encourage use. Use of
outpatient services increased, and there was a small rate
increase. Patient revenue totaled $44,682,000 in 1998 compared
to $41,030,000 in 1997, a 8.9% increase of $3,652,000.

Contractual allowances totaled $21,690,000 in 1998 compared to
$18,934,000 in 1997, a 14.6% increase. Government regulatory
agencies attempt to reimburse the Hospital based on cost of
services. But, as the government continues its efforts to cut
back on rising health care payments, the actual reimbursement
to the Hospital continues to decrease as evidenced by the
large increase in contractual allowances. For the five years
ended June 30, 1998, contractual allowances and provisions for
bad debts have amounted to approximately $111,000,000 or 48%
of gross revenue. At times the Hospital is unable to even
recoup costs on Medicare patients under the current
methodology of reimbursement. Medi-Cal has also imposed
certain limitations that negatively impacted the amount the
Hospital is reimbursed for MediCal patients.

Operating costs and expenses were $23,984,000 compared to
$23,358,000 in 1997, a 2.7% increase. Operating costs actually
increased $219,000 while the provision for bad debts also
increased by $407,000, resulting in the combined increase of
$626,000. The increase in accounts written off is indicative
of the industry wide difference between standard rates and the
amount actually collected.

The continued reduction in third-party reimbursement is a
major contributing factor to the 1998 operating loss of
$594,000. During the current operating year, the Hospital
charged to operations approximately $967,000 of cost as a
result of the audit finalization of prior years' cost reports.
Management intends to appeal various adjustments made by the
intermediary, but no amount as been booked as a receivable for
ultimate outcome of the appeal. Net income, after investment
income was $351,000 in 1998 compared to $224,000 in 1997.

Over the years, as the Company incurs more contractual
allowances and uncollectible accounts, results from operations
have suffered. The Company continues to enjoy good returns on
its investments to help maintain a net profit. For the current
year, sales of investments resulted in gains of $517,000,
while total investment income was $1,049,000. As discussed in
Item 1, the Company continues to expand operations to maintain
a competitive edge in a continuing ever changing health care
environment. All construction projects, considered necessary
to maintain operations, will be completed without negative
impact on the financial statements.

-8-




1998 continued
----

The purpose of these projects is to keep the users of the
Hospital in their primary service area when health care is
required, thereby enhancing the Hospital's inpatient service
occupancy. By so doing, it is anticipated that operations will
improve, even though the continued burden of government
contractual agreements to provide health care, sometimes below
cost, is being further complicated by the introduction of
managed care contracts in the Humboldt County area.



Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

The Company's financial condition remains very strong with
substantial investments, strong liquidity and minimal debt.
The cash and liquid investments are being maintained to
subsidize Hospital operations, finance needed construction and
increased services at Mad River Community Hospital. Currently,
the Company has approximately $7,251,000 in cash and
short-term investments. Included in this amount are $2,055,000
in unrealized holding gains. Subsequent to year end, the
market had an approximately 15% decrease in market value which
will affect the fair value of equity securities held by the
Company As previously noted, some of these investments, as
determined by management, will be used to fund needed
expansion.

Cash provided by operating and investing activities continue
to fund investing activities, the largest of which is the
purchase of real estate, property and equipment, which totaled
$1,258,000 in 1998. As the long-term debt relates only to the
acquisition of major equipment, cash required for financing
activities remains relatively low.

As discussed in Item I, government regulations, as well as
managed care contract agreements, may continue to negatively
impact operations. Management is unable to estimate any
potential negative impact of forthcoming laws or regulations.
Management believes that long-term key employees approve of
the working conditions at the Hospital and have proven their
ability to keep the Hospital staffed under difficult
conditions.

Inflation
---------

The inflation rate affecting costs has remained relatively
low, approximately 5%, over the last three years. This
moderate rate contributes to the Hospital's success in
maintaining a moderate increase in costs from year to year.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
---------------------------------------------

1997
----

Results of Operations
---------------------

Hospital revenues increased slightly during 1997 as the
Hospital continues to expand services to encourage use. Use of
outpatient services increased, and there was a small rate
increase. Patient revenue totaled $41,030,000 in 1997 compared
to $40,617,000 in 1996, a 1% increase of $413,000.

Contractual allowances totaled $15,147,000 in 1997 compared to
$13,808,000 in 1996, a 10% increase. Government regulatory
agencies attempt to reimburse the Hospital based on cost of
services. But, as the government continues its efforts to cut
back on rising health care payments, the actual reimbursement
to the Hospital continues to decrease as evidenced by the
large increase in contractual allowances. At times the
Hospital is unable to even recoup costs on Medicare patients
under the current methodology of reimbursement. Medi-Cal has
also imposed certain limitations that negatively impacted the
amount the Hospital is reimbursed for MediCal patients.

Operating costs and expenses were $27,145,000 compared to
$27,928,000 in 1996, a 3% decrease. Operating costs actually
increased $524,000 while the provision for bad debts decreased
by $1,309,000, resulting in the combined decrease of 3%. The
Hospital has concentrated efforts in the collection of
receivables resulting in less accounts being written off.

The continued reduction in third-party reimbursement is a
major contributing factor to the 1997 operating loss of
$805,000. Net income, after investment income was $201,000 in
1997 compared to $224,000 in 1996.

Over the years, as the Company incurs more contractual
allowances and uncollectible accounts, results from operations
have suffered. The Company continues to enjoy good returns on
its investments to help maintain a net profit. For the current
year, sales of investments resulted in gains of $125,000,
while total investment income was $990,000. As discussed in
Item 1, the Company continues to expand operations to maintain
a competitive edge in a continuing ever changing health care
environment. All construction projects, considered necessary
to maintain operations, will be completed without negative
impact on the financial statements.

The purpose of these projects is to keep the users of the

AMERICAN HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------

Organization
------------
The Corporation owns and operates one acute-care hospital, located in
Arcata, California. The Hospital provides inpatient, outpatient and
emergency care services for residents of Humboldt County. It also
operates other health-care related enterprises in the same location.
Admitting physicians are primarily practitioners in the local area. The
Company was incorporated as a C-Corporation in California in 1955.

Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates

Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash in checking and demand savings
accounts. Cash is held in several banks with no significant
concentration of risk.

Investments
-----------
Investments in marketable securities with readily determinable fair
values and all investments in debt securities are measured at fair
value in the balance sheets. All investments are held for sale
Investment income or loss (including realized gains and losses on
investments, interest and dividends) is included in net income.
Unrealized gains and losses on investments are excluded from net income
but are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

Property and Equipment
----------------------
Property and equipment acquisitions are recorded at cost. Depreciation
is provided over the estimated useful life of each class of depreciable
asset and is computed on the straight-line method. Equipment under
capital leases is amortized on the straight-line method over the
shorter period of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the
equipment. Such amortization is included in depreciation and
amortization in the financial statements.

Statements of Income
--------------------
Transactions deemed by management to be ongoing, major or central to
the provision of health care services are reported as revenues and
expenses. Peripheral or incidental transactions are reported as other
income, net.

Net Patient Service Revenue
---------------------------
The Hospital has agreements with third-party payors that provide for
payments to the Hospital at amounts different from its established
rates. Payment arrangements include prospectively determined rates per
discharge, reimbursed costs, discounted charges and per diem payments.
Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable
amounts from patients, third-party payors, and others for services
rendered, including estimated retroactive adjustments under
reimbursement, agreements with third-party payors. Retroactive
adjustments are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related
services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as final
settlements are determined.

Income Taxes
------------
Deferred income taxes are provided for the estimated income tax effect
of temporary differences between financial and taxable income.

Investments in Partnership
Investment in a partnership is carried at the Company's equity in the
partnership's net assets. The partnership was organized in 1968 to
provide property sites for the hospital and medical centers. The two
general partners, the Company and its president, own 26% each. The
limited partners, consisting of local doctors, own the remaining 48%.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
-------------------------------
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of." Historically, the Company has complied with
the requirements of SFAS No. 121. This statement requires that
long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and
used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. Also, in general, long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of should be reported at the
lower of carrying amount or fair market value less cost to sell.

Reclassifications
-----------------
Certain accounts from prior years financial statements have been
reclassified to be comparable with disclosure for the current year.

(2) Net Patient Service Revenue
---------------------------

The Hospital has agreements with third-party payors that provide for
payments to the Hospital at amounts different from its established
rates. A summary of the payment arrangements with major third-party
payors follows:
* Medicare. Inpatient acute care services rendered to Medicare
program beneficiaries are paid at prospectively determined
rates per discharge. These rates vary according to a patient
classification system that is based on clinical, diagnostic,
and other factors. Inpatient nonacute services, certain
outpatient services, and defined capital and medical education
costs related to Medicare beneficiaries are paid based on a
cost reimbursement methodology. The Hospital is reimbursed for
cost reimbursable items at a tentative rate with final
settlement determined after submission of annual cost reports
by the Hospital and audits thereof by the Medicare fiscal
intermediary. The Hospital's classification of patients under
the Medicare program and the appropriateness of their
admission are subject to an independent review by a peer
review organization under contract with the Hospital. The
Hospital's Medicare cost reports have been audited by the
Medicare fiscal intermediary through June 30, 1997.
* Medicaid. Inpatient and outpatient services rendered to
Medicaid program beneficiaries are reimbursed under a cost
reimbursement methodology. The Hospital is reimbursed at a
tentative rate with final settlement determined after
submission of annual cost reports by the Hospital and audits
thereof by the Medicaid fiscal intermediary. The Hospital
records supplies cost acquired and used by the operating room
department as operating cost of that department. The
intermediary disagreed with the classification of cost in the
operating department and reclassified the revenue relating to
the cost to Central Supply. Therefore, the Hospital has
included cost in 1998 of approximately $967,000 relating to
audit adjustments made by the intermediary for prior years'
cost reports. Management of the Hospital feels this
reclassification was made in error and intends to appeal the
decision made by the intermediary. Until a final decision is
reached, the Hospital will not include the effect of including
the supplies cost in the operating department as part of the
revenues of the Hospital. The Hospital's Medicaid cost reports
have been audited by the Medicaid fiscal intermediary through
June 30, 1996.

The Hospital has also entered into payment agreements with certain
commercial insurance carriers, health maintenance organizations and
preferred provider organizations. The basis for payment to the Hospital
under these agreements includes prospectively determined rates per
discharge, discounts from established charges and prospectively
determined daily rates.

Unrealized Loss (44,020) (40,950)

Gain or loss from sale of securities is based on specific
identification of the securities sold. Net unrealized holding gains on
securities available for sale, net of the tax effect of $1,360,608 and
$970,362 for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, are shown as a
separate component of stockholders' equity. For the years ended June
30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, realized gains and realized losses were
$578,111 and $(60,741), $327,314 and $(202,775), and $170,507 and
$(56,921), respectively.

The Company intends to implement the provision of FASB No. 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income, beginning with the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1999. The Statement establishes standards for reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
general purpose financial statements. Currently, net unrealized holding
gains is the only income that would be disclosed as part of
comprehensive income. For the year ended June 30, 1998, the change in
net unrealized holding gains on securities available for sale,
representing comprehensive income, is $989,756, net of $390,246 in
deferred tax.

-------- -------- --------

$117,501 $ 21,157 $182,156
======== ======== ========

(9) Preferred Stock
---------------

The preferred stock provides for cumulative dividends of $2 per share
per year. The stock has a redemption and liquidating value of $27.50
per share, plus dividends in arrears. Total redemption and liquidating
value of the outstanding shares at June 30, 1998 and 1997, was
$1,311,471 and $1,329,172, respectively. In the event of redemption,
two shares of common stock can be issued for each share of preferred
stock redeemed (if option is exercised by preferred stockholder).
Redemption of the preferred stock, in total only, is at the option of
the Company.

(10) Income per Common Share
- ---- -----------------------

Income per common share, assuming no dilution, was computed by dividing
the net income after deduction of preferred stock dividend requirements
of $95,380, $96,667 and $101,699, by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding (227,332, 230,635 and 234,846) for 1998, 1997
and 1996, respectively.

Income per common share, assuming full dilution, was computed by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding, after redemption of preferred stock, (321,537, 324,724,
334,912) for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

(11) Malpractice Insurance Arrangements
----------------------------------

The Hospital purchases professional and general liability insurance to
cover medical malpractice insurance claims. The coverage, through a
commercial insurance carrier, is on a claims-made basis. Under
claims-made policies, all accidents reported to the insurer are
covered. On the basis of the Hospital's current experience, neither an
accrual for a potential extended period reporting policy, which could
be necessary if the Hospital ceases to purchase claims-made coverage,
nor an accrual for unreported incidents has been made.

(12) 401(k) Plan
-----------

The Plan is a defined contribution plan to which all employees are
permitted to make salary deferrals under the 401(k) provision. Such
contributions are credited directly to their accounts. Based on the
Plan document, the Employer can make discretionary contributions for
the participants. No contribution was made for any of the three years
ended June 30, 1998.

(13) Concentrations of Credit Risk
-----------------------------

The Hospital grants credit without collateral to its patients, most of
whom are local residents and are insured under third-party payor
agreements. The mix of receivables from patients and third-party payors
at June 30, 1998 and 1997, was as follows:

1998 1997
---- ----
Medicare 37.5% 33.7%
Medi-Cal 16.2 19.7
Other third-party payors 33.4 32.5
Patients 12.9 14.1
------ ------
100% 100%
===== ======

AMERICAN HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT CORPORATION

(14) Self-insurance Program
----------------------

The Hospital has elected to self-insure for health care benefits to its
employees. Amounts charged to expense and transferred monthly to a
trust fund to cover such claims are estimated using rates comparable to
actual rates in the industry. Management believes that amounts provided
are sufficient to cover claims and costs incurred through June 30,
1998. The rates used to determine the amounts charged to expense for
claims and costs are adjusted periodically, as appropriate, to reflect
actual experience. The Hospital has 100 percent insurance coverage for
individual claim expenses in excess of $50,000 and for aggregate claim
expenses in excess of $1,365,218.

Health care benefit expense was approximately $1,210,164, $1,459,831
and $1,318,370 for the years ended June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

(15) Commitments and Contingencies
-----------------------------

Commitments.

At June 30, 1998, the Company had an outstanding letter of credit for
approximately $326,000 to acquire a new MRI machine. The letter of
credit is secured by restricted cash.

The Company had one operating lease with monthly payments of $2,450
with a remaining term of 23 months. Total rental expense for the years
ended June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $242,124, $227,486 and $201,118,
respectively

Litigation. The Hospital is involved in litigation and regulatory
investigations arising in the course of business. After consultation
with legal counsel and insurance carriers, management estimates that
these matters will be resolved without material adverse effect on the
Hospital's future financial position or results from operations.

(16) Risks and Uncertainties
-----------------------

The Company's future operating results may be affected by a number of
factors. The Hospital's operations are in part dependent on
governmental reimbursement plans. Significant changes in the level of
governmental reimbursement could have a favorable or unfavorable impact
on the operating results of the Hospital. Also, as additional managed
health-care plans are introduced into the service area, actual
admissions to the Hospital could increase or decrease depending on the
Hospital's ability to contract with the health plans.

AMERICAN HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
Notes to Financial Statements, concluded



(17) Fair values of Financial Instruments
------------------------------------

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based
on relevant market information and information about the financial
instrument; they are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties,
matters of judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with
precision. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that
could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire
holdings of a particular instrument. Changes in assumptions could
significantly affect the estimates.

Since the fair value is estimated as of June 30, 1998, the amounts that
will actually be realized or paid at settlement of the instruments
could be significantly different.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents is assumed to be the
fair value because of the liquidity of these instruments. Accounts
receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair
value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The recorded
balance of notes payable are assumed to be the fair value since the
rates specified in the notes approximate current market rates.
