                                     PART I

               INFORMATION REQUIRED BY THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 1.    Plan Information.
 
          American Diversified Group, Inc. (hereinafter "ADGI" or the
"Registrant") has heretofore entered into a consulting agreement dated February
12, 1996 with Emerging Trends Linkages Corp., a New York corporation ("ETLC"),
which agreement was amended on May 31, 1996, to provide for the sale by ETLC, on
behalf of the Company, of Test Kits for Strep, Cholera, Syphilis, and Gonorrhea,
in addition to the previously contracted for sale of human serum albumin (HSA).
In connection with this amendment, additional consideration evidenced by the
Company's shares was agreed to be issued to ETLC, which shares included herein
for registration on this Registration Statement on Form S-8, to be filed under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").

          Following the execution of the above metioned agreements, which were
filed as exhibits to the Company's filing under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act"), ETLC has continued to provide consulting services,
including but not limited to the following: ETLC received from the Central
Pharmacy for the Republic of Guinea orders to purchase $200,000 in HSA and Test
Kits, which products are presently in the Company's product line, and for which
it has supply available; and ETLC received a second order for a minimum of
$500,000 and a maximum of $1,000,000 for generic drugs and vitamins. The Company
has undertaken to contract with third party manufacturers and/or suppliers of
generic drugs and vitamins to fulfill this order, and believes that it will be
able to fill the order from one or more sources at terms and conditions
satisfactory to the Company. Both purchase orders contemplate shipment
commencing in or about December, 1996 and continuing to completion within twelve
months. ETLC has assigned to the Company both of these purchase orders.
 
          ETLC's assignment to the Company of the purchase order for generic
drugs and vitamins was beyond the scope of the initial and amended agreements,
and provides for the sale of products by the Company that are not currently
within its product line. Nevertheless, the Company firmly believes that, with
the assistance of ETLC, it will be able to supply such generic drugs and
vitamins at prices that shall permit the Company to generate a profit. As part
of its services, ETLC has also secured all necessary registrations and products
approvals from the Republic of Guinea and has begun to secure product
registration elsewhere in West Africa for the sale of the Company's products. In
consideration for the foregoing additional services to the Company, the Company
has agreed to issue to ETLC 3,000,000 shares.

          The Company, pursuant to an employment arragnement with its
president/chief executive officer, Jerrold R. Hinton, has also agreed to issue
to Mr. Hinton 500,000 shares in consideration for Mr. Hinton continuing to work
full time on the Company's behalf without any salary or other compensation.Mr.
Hinton has worked without salary compensation from the Company since 1995. The
Company has also entered into a three 

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
year employment with Mr. Hinton that will provide for compensation to commence
in January, 1997, subject to its cash flow from operations. The Company has also
undertaken to register additional shares for Mr. Hinton in a registration
statement on Form S-1 which it intends to file following then end of its fiscal
year. The Company has also agreed to issue to Gerard Haryman 500,000 shares in
consideration for his past services to the Company since January, 1996 as full-
time board chairman, through his resignation that was accepted in November,
1996. In addition to the above shares being issued, the Company has agreed to
issue 350,000 shares to Thomas J. Craft, Esq., a director and corporate counsel,
for services to the Company in connection with this registration statement and
general corporateother legal services to the Company, as well as for serving as
a director of the Company without compensation. Further, Ms. Judy Grossman, a
corporate consultant to the Company, has provided and has agreed to continue to
provide services to the Company in connection with the sourcing of other
products for sale in West Africa, and with general corporate relations with the
business and investment communities, will be issued 350,000 shares.


Item 2.    Registrant Information and Employee Plan Annual Information.

          The Registrant shall provide the Consultants without charge, upon
their written or oral request, the documents incorporated reference in Item 3 of

                 INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3.    Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

          The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission are incorporated herein by reference:

          (a) The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 1995, filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").

          (b) The Registrant's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB for the period
ended March 31, 1995, June 30, 1995 and September 31, 1995, and March 31, 1996,
June 30, 1996 and September 30, 1996 filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act.

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
          (c) All other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year ended December 31,
1995, including its Form 8-K and Form 8-K/A.

          (d) A description of the Registrant's common stock contained in the
exhibits to Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the three months
ended March 31, 1995.

          (e) All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to the
Exchange Act prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment indicating that
all such securities then unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference
into this Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing
such documents.

Item 4.    Description of Securities.
 
          The Registrant has authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par
value $.001 (the "Common Stock"), and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
series A (the "Series A Preferred").

          Holders of Registrant's Common Stock are entitled to one vote per
share on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders. Shares of Common Stock
do not carry cumulative voting rights and, therefore, holders of the majority of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock are able to elect the entire board of
directors and, if they do so, minority stockholders would not be able to elect
any members of the board of directors. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to
receive such dividends as the board of directors may from time to time declare
out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. During the last two
fiscal years, the Registrant has not paid cash dividends on its Common Stock and
does not anticipate that it will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Item 5.    Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
 
          Thomas J. Craft, Esq., counsel to the Registrant in connection with
the preparation of this Registration Statement on Form S-8, is the record and
beneficial owner of 350,000 shares of Common Stock, which shares are included in
this Registration Statement.

Item 6.    Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

          The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, By-laws and
Nevada Revised Statutes indemnify all persons so identified as being covered,
including officers and directors, from personal liability as described below.

          The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide that
the Registrant's officers and directors shall not be personally liable to the
Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty
as a director, except for liability: (I) for acts or omissions which involve
intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law or (ii) for the
payment of dividends in violation of Nevada Revised Statues 78.300. The Nevada
Revised Statues also limit the personal liability of officers and directors
under certain circumstances as set forth below:

          "Section 78-751 of Nevada Revised Statues contains provisions relating
to the indemnification of officers and directors.

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
          This section generally provides that a corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
except for an action by or in right of the corporation, by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. It
must be shown that he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably
deemed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
Generally, no indemnification may be made where the person has been determined
to be negligent or guilty of misconduct in the performance of his duty to the
corporation " See Item 9(e)(ii) below:

Item 7.    Exemption From Registration Claimed.

           Not applicable

Item 8.    Exhibits:

           Pursuant to Item 601 of Rule S-K, the following Exhibits are annexed 
           hereto:


           Exhibit 5  Opinion of Thomas J. Craft, Esq.

           Exhibit 23  Consent of Thomas J. Craft, Esq. (Contained in the 
           Opinion)

           Exhibit 23.1  Consent of Grant-Schwartz Associates, CPA's

Item 9.    Undertakings:

      The undersigned Registrants hereby undertakes:

          (a) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement.

          (b) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement.

          (c) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

          (d) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

          (e)(i) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, each filing of the Registrant's Annual Report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof..

          (e)(ii) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers, and
controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
against such liabilities (other than payment by the Company of expenses paid or
incurred by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

PART I

               INFORMATION REQUIRED BY THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 1.    Plan Information.
 
          American Diversified Group, Inc. (hereinafter "ADGI" or the
"Registrant") has heretofore entered into a consulting agreement dated February
12, 1996 with Emerging Trends Linkages Corp., a New York corporation ("ETLC"),
which agreement was amended on May 31, 1996, to provide for the sale by ETLC, on
behalf of the Company, of Test Kits for Strep, Cholera, Syphilis, and Gonorrhea,
in addition to the previously contracted for sale of human serum albumin (HSA).
In connection with this amendment, additional consideration evidenced by the
Company's shares was agreed to be issued to ETLC, which shares included herein
for registration on this Registration Statement on Form S-8, to be filed under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").

          Following the execution of the above metioned agreements, which were
filed as exhibits to the Company's filing under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act"), ETLC has continued to provide consulting services,
including but not limited to the following: ETLC received from the Central
Pharmacy for the Republic of Guinea orders to purchase $200,000 in HSA and Test
Kits, which products are presently in the Company's product line, and for which
it has supply available; and ETLC received a second order for a minimum of
$500,000 and a maximum of $1,000,000 for generic drugs and vitamins. The Company
has undertaken to contract with third party manufacturers and/or suppliers of
generic drugs and vitamins to fulfill this order, and believes that it will be
able to fill the order from one or more sources at terms and conditions
satisfactory to the Company. Both purchase orders contemplate shipment
commencing in or about December, 1996 and continuing to completion within twelve
months. ETLC has assigned to the Company both of these purchase orders.
 
          ETLC's assignment to the Company of the purchase order for generic
drugs and vitamins was beyond the scope of the initial and amended agreements,
and provides for the sale of products by the Company that are not currently
within its product line. Nevertheless, the Company firmly believes that, with
the assistance of ETLC, it will be able to supply such generic drugs and
vitamins at prices that shall permit the Company to generate a profit. As part
of its services, ETLC has also secured all necessary registrations and products
approvals from the Republic of Guinea and has begun to secure product
registration elsewhere in West Africa for the sale of the Company's products. In
consideration for the foregoing additional services to the Company, the Company
has agreed to issue to ETLC 3,000,000 shares.

          The Company, pursuant to an employment arragnement with its
president/chief executive officer, Jerrold R. Hinton, has also agreed to issue
to Mr. Hinton 500,000 shares in consideration for Mr. Hinton continuing to work
full time on the Company's behalf without any salary or other compensation.Mr.
Hinton has worked without salary compensation from the Company since 1995. The
Company has also entered into a three 

                                       3
year employment with Mr. Hinton that will provide for compensation to commence
in January, 1997, subject to its cash flow from operations. The Company has also
undertaken to register additional shares for Mr. Hinton in a registration
statement on Form S-1 which it intends to file following then end of its fiscal
year. The Company has also agreed to issue to Gerard Haryman 500,000 shares in
consideration for his past services to the Company since January, 1996 as full-
time board chairman, through his resignation that was accepted in November,
1996. In addition to the above shares being issued, the Company has agreed to
issue 350,000 shares to Thomas J. Craft, Esq., a director and corporate counsel,
for services to the Company in connection with this registration statement and
general corporateother legal services to the Company, as well as for serving as
a director of the Company without compensation. Further, Ms. Judy Grossman, a
corporate consultant to the Company, has provided and has agreed to continue to
provide services to the Company in connection with the sourcing of other
products for sale in West Africa, and with general corporate relations with the
business and investment communities, will be issued 350,000 shares.

                 INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3.    Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

          The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission are incorporated herein by reference:

          (a) The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 1995, filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").

          (b) The Registrant's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB for the period
ended March 31, 1995, June 30, 1995 and September 31, 1995, and March 31, 1996,
June 30, 1996 and September 30, 1996 filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act.

                                       4
(c) All other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year ended December 31,
1995, including its Form 8-K and Form 8-K/A.

          (d) A description of the Registrant's common stock contained in the
exhibits to Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the three months
ended March 31, 1995.

          (e) All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to the
Exchange Act prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment indicating that
all such securities then unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference
into this Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing

Item 4.    Description of Securities.
 
          The Registrant has authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par
value $.001 (the "Common Stock"), and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
series A (the "Series A Preferred").

          Holders of Registrant's Common Stock are entitled to one vote per
share on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders. Shares of Common Stock
do not carry cumulative voting rights and, therefore, holders of the majority of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock are able to elect the entire board of
directors and, if they do so, minority stockholders would not be able to elect
any members of the board of directors. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to
receive such dividends as the board of directors may from time to time declare
out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. During the last two
fiscal years, the Registrant has not paid cash dividends on its Common Stock and
does not anticipate that it will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Item 5.    Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
 
          Thomas J. Craft, Esq., counsel to the Registrant in connection with
the preparation of this Registration Statement on Form S-8, is the record and
beneficial owner of 350,000 shares of Common Stock, which shares are included in
this Registration Statement.

Item 6.    Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

          The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, By-laws and
Nevada Revised Statutes indemnify all persons so identified as being covered,
including officers and directors, from personal liability as described below.

          The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide that
the Registrant's officers and directors shall not be personally liable to the
Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty
as a director, except for liability: (I) for acts or omissions which involve
intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law or (ii) for the
payment of dividends in violation of Nevada Revised Statues 78.300. The Nevada
Revised Statues also limit the personal liability of officers and directors
under certain circumstances as set forth below:

          "Section 78-751 of Nevada Revised Statues contains provisions relating
to the indemnification of officers and directors.

                                       5
This section generally provides that a corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
except for an action by or in right of the corporation, by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. It
must be shown that he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably
deemed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
Generally, no indemnification may be made where the person has been determined
to be negligent or guilty of misconduct in the performance of his duty to the
corporation " See Item 9(e)(ii) below:

Item 7.    Exemption From Registration Claimed.

           Not applicable

Item 8.    Exhibits:

           Pursuant to Item 601 of Rule S-K, the following Exhibits are annexed 
           hereto:

           Exhibit 5  Opinion of Thomas J. Craft, Esq.

           Exhibit 23  Consent of Thomas J. Craft, Esq. (Contained in the 
           Opinion)

           Exhibit 23.1  Consent of Grant-Schwartz Associates, CPA's

Item 9.    Undertakings:

      The undersigned Registrants hereby undertakes:

          (a) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement.

          (b) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement.

          (c) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

          (d) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

          (e)(i) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, each filing of the Registrant's Annual Report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference

                                       6
in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof..

          (e)(ii) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers, and
controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
against such liabilities (other than payment by the Company of expenses paid or
incurred by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
