ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
A. Business Development. Pinnacle Resources, Inc. (the "Company") is a
development stage company, incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of
Wyoming on January 6, 1995 under the name of Claremont House, Corp. On June
26, 1997, the Articles of Incorporation were amended to change the name of
the Company to Pinnacle Resources, Inc. and to authorize 2,000,000 Preferred
Shares with a par value of $.01 per Preferred Share. Additionally, the
Company effectuated a 1 for 3.3333 reverse stock split reducing the number of
outstanding Common Shares from 500,000 to 150,000.
The Company has had limited operations since its inception due to its lack of
working capital. The Company was originally established with the idea of
providing "Assisted Living Facilities" to at risk (frail) senior citizens.
Management never commenced operations regarding this venture due to a lack of
funding. The Company had a change in control in June, 1997. Currently,
the Company is engaged in the business of providing financial services to
emerging growth companies in the United States, as well as development stage
companies located in selected developing countries, primarily in Africa and
South America.
Since inception, the Company has not had any material financial activities.
The Company is filing this Form 10-SB on a voluntary basis to provide full
disclosure to its shareholders and to meet one of the requirements of a
NASDAQ listing. The Company will voluntarily file periodic reports in the
event that its obligation to file such reports is suspended under the
Exchange Act.
Many states limit the resales of securities of shell companies. As a
result, such restrictions may be placed upon the Company's shareholders even
though the Company now has a stated business purpose. The Company has not
yet applied for secondary trading in any specified states and does not know
specifically of any such restrictions.
B. Business of Company. The Company will engage in the business of
financial services, making small commercial loans to, and equity investments
in, emerging growth companies which are unable to obtain financing from
traditional sources. The Company intends to be in the financial services
business and may also furnish financial consulting services and advice as an
incidental part of any other agreement or arrangement.
The Company will focus its financing and capital arrangement activities on
emerging growth companies which plan to raise capital in the public markets
within a reasonably short period of time, i.e., one to two years.
Management has not identified any particular industry within which the
Company will focus its efforts. Rather, management intends to identify any
number of candidates which may be brought to its attention through present
associations or by word-of-mouth. However, the Company will direct its
activities in seeking and evaluating suitable candidates for financing both
in the United States and on companies operating in selected stable,
developing countries, principally in Africa and South America.
Management's historical exposure has been in both Southern Africa and South
America. Based on this exposure, management is of the opinion that the need
for outside sources of funding by mining companies in these markets, together
with very liberal policies by their governments makes this type of funding
attractive. The Company does not expect to encounter any difficult or
unique government regulations that would limit or prohibit its planned
activities.
The Company's operating strategies will be to provide financing solutions to
privately-held corporations and other companies which, in all likelihood, do
not meet the overall credit standards typically required by commercial banks
in today's restrictive credit environment. Management believes that
commercial banks are reluctant to make loans to small and newly-organized
companies and, in the instances in which such loans are made, they are
heavily collaterized by homes and other personal assets in virtually every
case. Commercial bankers typically do not lend to companies with limited
assets, or which have been in business for less than three or four years.
Most, if not all, of the companies which will be candidates for loans and/or
equity investments by the Company or for other sources of capital known to
management, will not have an operating history which will support bank loans.
These companies, primarily privately-held corporations to be targeted by the
Company, may have negative working capital positions, negative cash flow,
recurring losses or other negative characteristics relating to their past
performance which would result, in all probability, in a bank's refusal to
lend funds. The Company may consider as candidates for financing,
corporations and entities which are affiliated with the Company, or in which
the Company or executive officers, directors and/or controlling shareholders
have an equity interest.
<PAGE>3
While the Company may require, as a condition to making a loan to any
particular candidate, adequate collateral as security, the Company will rely
upon the expertise and experience of its management on a case-by-case basis
in making the determination regarding the issue of collateral. Management
will not employ any specific formula for collateral coverage and may make
unsecured signature loans under circumstances deemed acceptable by
management. Banks, on the other hand, traditionally require collateral
coverage of approximately 133% for accounts receivable, 300% for inventory
and 200% of liquidation value for real estate, equipment and other tangible
assets. The Company intends to charge interest rates on loans in a range
from 5% to 18% and to obtain equity participation in the form of warrants or
options to purchase shares of the common stock of the entity financed or
other forms of securities in order to provide additional yield enhancement.
Where the Company receives such warrants, options or other securities, the
Company may distribute such securities to its shareholders as a stock
dividend, subject to compliance with applicable state and federal securities
laws. In addition to or in lieu of the aforementioned types of securities,
the Company may seek to obtain an interest in revenues, a carried working
interest or other carried interest in an operating, producing mine or oil,
gas or mineral property owned by a mining or energy-related company financed
by the Company or its other capital sources. Depending upon the nature of
the legal interest or right obtained, the Company could become subject to
liability in addition to that of a shareholder or holder of a debt
instrument.
The Company is not currently evaluating any development-stage companies with
a view to making a loan or stock purchase or arranging funding or any loan
proposals and has no contingent loan agreements subject to approval.
Subject to market conditions, the Company may attempt to raise additional
equity or debt capital to fund additional financing activities in the future.
As of the date of this filing, management has no specific plans in this
regard. Management acknowledges that the Company may have insufficient
capital with which to implement its business plans on the scale desired.
Accordingly, the Company may be capable of making only an extremely limited
number of loans to, and/or equity investments in , companies to which
traditional sources of capital are unavailable.
To date, the Company has not performed any financial services for any clients
or consummated or arranged any loans, equity investments or other financing
transactions. Further, no loans, stock purchases or other non-traditional
financing transactions are pending or under consideration. The Company has
no existing agreement or arrangement for the performance of financial
services.
The Company has no pre-arranged financing prospects. The Company has not
made any prior commitments, nor any understandings, with any third parties,
or any of its affiliated entities, such as Victory Minerals or Re-Group, Inc.
for financing or participation. Additionally, the Company does not have any
plans, arrangements, commitments or understandings to pay any finders' fees
to any person or entity.
Operating Strategy.
Management of the Company will evaluate the future potential, credit
worthiness and, if required, collateral of prospective candidates for funding
by the Company or other sources, including corporate and individual lenders
and investors, known to management. The fact that a corporation or other
entity is affiliated with the Company or an equity interest in a prospective
borrower is owned by one or more of the executive officers, directors and/or
controlling shareholders of the Company, will not disqualify such entity from
consideration as a potential borrower or recipient of investment capital.
In order to minimize conflicts of interest, the Company has adopted a policy
that any contracts or other transactions with entities with whom management
is affiliated, or in which they have a financial interest, will be approved
by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors and will
be fair and reasonable, but that no such transactions by the Company shall be
affected or invalidated solely because of such relationship or interest of
directors or officers. For purposes herein, the term "disinterested
directors" are those directors who have no direct, pecuniary interest in a
proposed transaction. If the Company's Board of Directors is unavailable to
approve a financing transaction with an affiliated or related party, the
Company will require that the transaction be approved by a majority of the
Company's shareholders, at a special meeting of shareholders called for such
purpose.
Prior to funding any loans or equity investments, management of the Company
will conduct a comprehensive credit investigation of the potential financing
candidate. The investigation will generally include, but not necessarily be
limited to, the following: (I) a review of the prospective candidate's
financial statements and operating and prior credit history; (ii) an analysis
of the prospect's projected cash flow; (iii) a survey of the performance of
other companies engaged in the candidate's business; (iv) an analysis of the
value of the collateral, if any, proposed to secure a loan; and (v) the
source of repayment for the loan. In addition, management intends, as part
<PAGE>4
of its credit procedures, to conduct a complete due diligence review of the
prospective candidate's business at its offices, during which management
proposes to review the prospect's record keeping systems and procedures, the
historical and projected financial condition of the borrower/recipient of
investment capital and its industry and any collateral offered to secure a
loan. Management may, in its discretion, conduct a formal, independent
appraisal of any collateral offered to assure that the collateral can be
liquidated without a loss in the event of a downturn in the economy, which
appraisal may include an assessment of auction liquidation and/or fair market
value. Management intends to make the decision whether to arrange or fund a
loan or purchase common stock of a financing candidate only after completing
the number and type of credit procedures described above and as deemed
necessary or appropriate, in the discretion of management, in order to
determine the candidate's business potential and credit worthiness.
In instances deemed appropriate by management, the Company may require
security in the form of inventory, accounts receivable, manufacturing and
other operating equipment, other tangible assets and/or real estate used in
the financing candidate's business. With respect to asset-based loans which
the Company may fund, management will have no fixed policy as to the
percentage of collateral coverage required. However, in almost every such
case, management envisions that the percentage of collateral coverage
required by it will be in excess of 100% of the amount of the loan.
Additionally, management may require that any one or more of the officers,
directors and principal shareholders of the borrower personally guarantee the
indebtedness and, depending upon the prospective borrower's financial
strength and the nature and value of any collateral, require, in addition,
that the personal guarantees be collateralized separately.
Management of the Company will closely monitor the borrower's performance
after funding a loan or equity investment and, with respect to a secured
loan, intends to monitor the adequacy of the collateral at least on a monthly
basis. If the primary collateral is accounts receivable, management may
require direct verification and a monthly aging of the receivables. The
Company's management intends to conduct aspects of its monitoring process,
inducing, if necessary, a reappraisal of any collateral, periodically at the
borrower's place of business. Regardless of whether the financing provided
by the Company takes the form of a loan, stock purchase or a combination
thereof, management will maintain close contact with management of the
financing recipient to ensure that the financial condition and overall
performance of the borrower are acceptable and that any collateral remains
adequate. In the event of default in the payment of principal or interest
on a loan, management may notify the borrower's customers to make payments
directly to the Company via a lock box established for the borrower. In a
case where the Company arranges financing for, but does not itself fund, a
development-stage company, management will also endeavor to monitor the
borrower's performance if an equity interest in the form of common stock,
warrants, options or any other type of security is received as part of the
finder's or consulting fee.
Management has not adopted any policy regarding the maximum size of any loans
or stock purchases which it may make with respect to a single company.
Further, management has not determined any maximum percentage of its loan or
stock portfolio which may be committed to loans or investments in excess of a
specified amount. Management, in its sole discretion, will determine
guidelines for levels of concentration as to the diversity of companies which
it funds and types of assets required as collateral for loans, in order to
attempt to minimize credit losses. However, management intends to employ a
policy of maintaining a diversity of companies financed and types of
collateral accepted as security for loans in order to minimize undue
exposure.
Competition. The Company is, and will remain for the foreseeable future,
an insignificant participant among those firms which are also engaged in the
business of the Company. There are many established entities and financial
concerns which have significantly greater financial and personnel resources
and technical expertise than the Company. Management will rely upon their
own ability to generate potential lending candidates, either through their
own personal industries in which management has had prior experience. In
view of the Company's extremely limited resources, it should be expected that
the Company will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage
compared to the Company's competitors.
Federal and/or State Regulation. The Company is not subject to any federal
or state regulations regarding its services.
Business Development Company. As the Company obtains equity interests in
companies who desire to become public, the Company may become subject to the
provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940. It is possible that the
Company may choose to elect to be treated as a Business Development Company
("BDC") pursuant to Section 54 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
"1940 Act"). On October 21, 1980, the 1940 Act was amended by a series of
amendments which added sections 59 through 65. These sections comprise the
Small Business Investment Incentive Act of 1980 (the "SMIIA"). For
purposes of the SMIIA, a business development company is defined as a
domestic closed-end company which is operated for the purpose of making
<PAGE>5
certain types of investments and which makes available significant managerial
assistance to the companies in which it invests. Generally, a company which
elects to be treated as a business development company, or intends within 90
days to so elect, is exempt from certain provisions of sections 1 through 53
of the 1940 Act.
To take advantage of these special regulatory provisions, a BDC must comply
with sections 59 through 65 of the 1940 Act, which require, among other
things, that:
a. a majority of the BDC's directors must not be "interested persons" as
defined in section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act;
b. A BDC is restricted in the kind of investments it can make, i.e., at
least seventy percent of the BDC's assets (excluding assets necessary to
maintain the business, such as office furniture) must consist of securities
of small, developing business or financially troubled businesses and such
liquid assets as cash or cash items, Government securities or short-term,
high quality debt securities;
c. A BDC must annually furnish to its shareholders a statement, in such
form and manner as the Securities and Exchange Commission may prescribe,
about the risks involved in investing in a BDC due to the nature of its
portfolio, and;
d. A BDC must have a class of equity securities registered under the
1934 Act or have filed a registration statement under that section and must
comply with the periodic reporting requirements under the 1934 Act, including
annual reports, quarterly reports and reports of certain material changes,
rather than with those in section 30 of the 1940 Act.
Employees. The Company presently has two employees, none of whom are paid
any salary.
Seasonal Nature of Business Activities. The Company's business activities
are not seasonal.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Trends and Uncertainties. The financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is
in the development stage and has no operations as of June 30, 1997. The
deficiency in working capital as of June 30, 1997 raises substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern. In the course of its
development activities the Company has sustained continuing losses and
expects such losses to continue for the foreseeable future. The Company's
management plans on advancing funds on an as needed basis and in the longer
term revenues from the operations of a merger candidate, if found. The
Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on these
additional management advances, and, ultimately, upon achieving profitable
operations through a merger candidate.
Until revenues commence, the Company shall raise funds through equity
financing which may or not be successful. The Company has tried to limit
its general and administrative expenses. The Company has little or no
control as to the demand for its services and, as a result, inflation and
changing prices could have a material effect on the future profitability of
the Company.
The Company will focus its financing and capital arrangement activities on
emerging growth companies which plan to raise capital in the public markets
within a reasonable short period of time, i.e., one to two years.
Management has not identified any particular industry within which the
Company will focus its efforts. Rather, management intends to identify any
number of candidates which may be brought to its attention through present
associations or by word-of-mouth. Initially the Company intends to arrange
sources of funding and finance for its prospective clients through
established sources for such funds by acting as a finder or broker to the
lender and as an arranger or financial consultant to the borrowing party.
In the emerging markets of South Africa and South America, opportunities
exist where small mining companies seek funding from outside sources for
capitalization because it is not available locally.
Management has over 70 years of combined business experience involving a
variety of situations where financing and/or funding has been required in
order to effectuate a mining opportunity. Individually, management
personnel has directly funded, underwritten or brokered financing for a
number of mining prospects over the years, both in the domestic market as
well as South Africa and South America.
Management believes that the Company will be able to successfully seek out
potential candidates who are interested in obtaining loans from the Company
in the immediate future. This belief is based upon the perceived difficulty
of many development and growth stage companies who require additional
financing, but are unable to obtain the same from established sources, such
as banking institutions and venture capitalists. As interest rates begin to
rise, management anticipates that those types of entities earmarked by the
Company as possible clients will continue to seek out the Company as a
lending source, as management views a potential borrower's borrowing base in
<PAGE>6
a different light than banks. For loans made by regulated commercial
lenders, there is normally a structured review and evaluation of a
prospective borrower's loan application by the lender, including an in-depth
review of such application by a loan committee. The loan committee will
then approve or reject each application as it is submitted. The evaluation
and approval of loans depends on subjective factors and judgments, as well as
objective criteria, such as loan to value ratios and independent appraisals,
when appropriate or available. The Company's loan committee consists of
substantially fewer persons than a commercial lender and uses a less formal
procedure than more traditional lenders. It is possible that any such
subjective factors and judgments may prove to be incorrect with a resulting
loss of part or all of the Company's investment in any particular loan.
However, as part of the consideration provided to the Company for issuance of
its loans, the Company receives its interest and attempts to also obtain
additional consideration in the form of equity or options or warrants in the
borrower. In the event the borrower's business plan proves successful, the
Company may receive substantial returns as a result of this equity
enhancement.
Most venture capitalists take an aggressive equity position far in excess of
that of the Company and in many instances, takes an active role in the
management of their clients. Management believes that this makes venture
capitalists unattractive to those types of entities with whom the Company
does business.
The Company's ability to become a significant lender is impaired primarily by
its own lack of capital with which to make loans. While management would
welcome the opportunity to make more loans for larger amounts, management
finds itself in the same predicament as that of its prospective clients.
That is, the lack of capital with which to fully implement the Company's
business plan. Management hopes that as the Company begins to make
successful loans, that its track record will allow the Company to attract
either private investors seeking to invest in the business of the Company on
a private basis, or that the Company will be able to attract an investment
banker willing to underwrite a secondary offering of the Company's securities
to generate additional capital. There are no assurances that the Company
will be able to attract either of the aforesaid entities to increase the
Company's working capital. If the Company is unable to obtain additional
working capital, it is unlikely that the Company will generate any
substantial growth in the near future.
Capital Resources and Source of Liquidity. The Company currently has no
material commitments for capital expenditures. The Company pays no rent for
its current office space. An increase in lease payments could have a
negative effect on the cash flow and liquidity of the Company.
On June 26, 1997, the Company sold 4,000,000 at $.025 per Common Share for
an aggregate of $100,000.
At June 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of $100,000 consisting of
$100,000 in current assets and $0 in current liabilities. The Company has
no long term liabilities.
Results of Operations. The Company expects to earn consulting fees,
commissions, brokerage points and equity participation for having acted as an
arranger and go-between from having effectuated a financing package on behalf
of a client and a funding source. To date, the Company has not yet commenced
operations or received any revenues. The Company expended no amounts for
administrative expenses for the years ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996.
Plan of Operation. The Company is not delinquent on any of its obligations
even though the Company has not yet begun to generate revenue. The Company
will identify and subsequently qualify prospective clients. Current
operations require minimal cash infusions. The Company may borrow funds or
obtain equity financing from affiliated persons or entities to continue
operations, if necessary. The Company intends to market its services
utilizing cash made available from the recent private sale of its Common
Shares. The Company is of the opinion that revenues from its services along
with proceeds of the private sale of its securities will be sufficient to pay
its expenses until receipt of revenues at a level to sustain operations.
ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY. In May 1997, the Company moved its
offices to 7345 E. Peakview Avenue, Englewood, Colorado 80111, a building
owned by a shareholder in the Company. The Company pays no rent. The
Company's offices consist of approximately 500 square feet of executive
office space and secretarial area. Management believes that this space will
meet the Company's needs for the foreseeable future.

Conflicts of Interest. The Corporation will be subject to various conflicts
of interest between the Corporation and its Affiliates. Since the executive
officers and directors will control the daily operations of the Corporation
and its Affiliates, there may be occasions when the interests of the
Corporation's Affiliates may be inconsistent with the interests of the
Corporation.
Allocation of Management Time. The Corporation will rely on its officers
to manage the Corporation's business operations. Currently the officers are
devoting approximately 30% of their time for the operation of the
Corporation. The Corporation may obtain additional officers, as necessary.
As such, and until all of their positions become "full time," there will be
conflicts of interest in allocating management time, services and functions
between the Corporation and its Affiliates. These individuals may engage
for their own account, or for the account of others in other business
ventures for which the Corporation shall not be entitled to any interest.
The Corporation may, at some time in the future, compete with others for the
management services of the current and future officers of the Corporation.
As a result, these individuals may be placed in a position where their
decision to favor other operations in which they are associated over those of
the Corporation will result in a conflict of interest. It should also be
noted that it may be expedient for them to favor one operation over another
since their participation in such operations will vary. In allocating their
time, they will recognize their fiduciary obligations to the Corporation, the
prevailing industry standards and the financial situation of the Corporation.
Conflicts of Interest Policy. The Corporation has adopted a policy that
any transactions with directors, officers or entities of which they are also
officers or directors or in which they have a financial interest, will only
be on terms consistent with industry standards and approved by a majority of
the disinterested directors of the Corporation's Board of Directors. No
such transactions by the Corporation shall be either void or voidable solely
because of such relationship or interest of directors or officers or solely
because such directors are present at the meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Corporation or a committee thereof which approves such transactions,
or solely because their votes are counted for such purpose if: (i) the fact
of such common directorship or financial interest is disclosed or known by
the Board of Directors or committee and noted in the minutes, and the Board
or committee authorizes, approves or ratifies the contract or transaction in
good faith by a vote for that purpose without counting the vote or votes of
such interested directors; or (ii) the fact of such common directorship or
financial interest is disclosed to or known by the shareholders entitled to
vote and they approve or ratify the contract or transaction in good faith by
a majority vote or written consent of shareholders holding a majority of the
Common Shares entitled to vote (the votes of the common or interested
directors or officers shall be counted in any such vote of shareholders), or
(iii) the contract or transaction is fair and reasonable to the Corporation
based on the material similarity of terms to recent consulting agreements not
involving interested parties, or in all other agreements by competitive bids,
at the time it is authorized or approved. In addition, interested directors
may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the
Board of Directors of the Corporation or a committee thereof which approves
such transactions.
Non-Qualified and Incentive Stock Option Plans. The Corporation does not
currently have any stock option plans, however, the Corporation does intend
to pursue the adoption of a non-qualified stock option plan in the fourth
quarter of 1997.

ITEM 6. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Since inception the Company has not paid any remuneration to its officers or
directors. As operations increase, the Company intends to enter into
employment agreements with its officers. Upon funding, either through
revenues from operations, a private placement or initial public offering,
should the amount justify the salary demands, the key management of the
Company would be compensated according to their duties. No specific details
have been determined.
ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The Company maintains a mailing address at Glen Gamble's (an officer of the
Company) place of business located at 7345 E. Peakview, Greenwood Village, CO
80111.
Glen Gamble, president of the Company, is also an officer and director of
Victory Minerals Corporation, a majority shareholder of the Company's common
stock.
ITEM 8. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock. The aggregate number of shares of common stock which the
Company has the authority to issue is Five Hundred million (500,000,000)
shares at par value of one-thousandth of a cent ($.00001) per share.
Holders of Common Shares of the Company are entitled to cast one vote for
each share held at all shareholders meetings for all purposes, including the
election of directors, and to share equally on a per share basis in such
dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally
available therefor. Upon liquidation or dissolution, each outstanding Common
Share will be entitled to share equally in the assets of the Company legally
available for distribution to shareholders after the payment of all debts and
other liabilities. Common Shares are not redeemable, have no conversion
rights and carry no preemptive or other rights to subscribe to or purchase
additional Common Shares in the event of a subsequent offering. All
outstanding Common Shares are, and the shares offered hereby will be when
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Cumulative Voting. The Common Shares do not have cumulative voting rights.
Dividends. There are no limitations or restrictions upon the rights of the
Board of Directors to declare dividends out of any funds legally available
therefor. The Company has not paid cash dividends to date and it is not
anticipated that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.
The Board of Directors initially may follow a policy of retaining earnings,
if any, to finance the future growth of the Company. Accordingly, future
cash dividends, if any, will depend upon, among other considerations, the
Company's need for working capital and its financial conditions at the time.
Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock authorized by this Certificate of
Incorporation may be issued from time to time in series. Preferred Shares
of each series when issued shall be designated to distinguish them from the
shares of all other series. The Board of Directors is hereby expressly
vested with authority to divide the class of Preferred Shares into series and
to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of any
such series so established to the full extent permitted by these Articles and
the laws of the State of Wyoming in respect of the following:
(i) The number of shares to constitute such series, and the distinctive
designations thereof;
(ii) The rate and preference of dividends, if any, the time of payment of
dividends, whether dividends are cumulative, and the date from which any
dividend shall accrue;
(iii) Whether shares may be redeemed and, if so, the redemption price and
the terms and conditions of redemption;
(iv) The amount payable upon shares in event of involuntary liquidation;
(v) The amount payable upon shares in event of voluntary liquidation;
(vi) Sinking fund or other provisions, if any, for the redemption or
purchase of shares;
(vii) The terms and conditions on which shares may be converted, if the
shares of any series are issued with the privilege of conversion;
(viii) Voting rights, if any; and
(ix) Any other relative rights and preferences of shares of such series,
including, without limitation, any restriction of an increase in the number
of shares of any series theretofore authorized and any limitation or
restriction of rights or powers to which shares of any future series shall be
subject.
The authority of the Board of Directors to divide the class of preferred
shares into series and to fix and determine the relative rights and
preferences of the preferred stock with no required approval from the
shareholders could have an anti-takeover effect.

PART II
ITEM 1. MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The Company's common stock has not commenced trading on the over-the-counter
market. There has never been a market for the securities of the Company.
The Company has never paid any cash dividends nor does it intend, at this
time, to make any cash distributions to the its shareholders as dividends in
the near future.
As of June 30, 1997, the number of holders of Company's common stock is 24.
Broker-Dealer Sales of Company Securities. The Company intends to apply for
quotation of its common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. Upon successful
application for the trading of its securities on the over-the-counter market
and until the Company successfully obtains a listing on the NASDAQ quotation
system, if ever, the Company's securities may be covered by Rule 15g-2 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that imposes additional sales practice
requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than
established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with
assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of
$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their
spouse). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make
a special suitability determination of the purchaser and have received the
purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. In order
to approve a person's account for transactions in designated securities, the
broker or dealer must (i) obtain information concerning the person's
financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii)
reasonably determine, based on the information required by paragraph (i) that
transactions in designated securities are suitable for the person and that
the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters that
the person reasonably may be expected to be capable of evaluating the rights
of transactions in designated securities; and (iii) deliver to the person a
written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made
the determination required by paragraph (ii) in this section, stating in a
highlighted format that it is unlawful for the broker or dealer to effect a
transaction in a designated security subject to the provisions of paragraph
(ii) of this section unless the broker or dealer has received, prior to the
transaction, a written agreement to the transaction from the person; and
stating in a highlighted format immediately preceding the customer signature
line that the broker or dealer is required to provide the person with the
written statement and the person should not sign and return the written
statement to the broker or dealer if it does not accurately reflect the
person's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives
and obtain from the person a manually signed and dated copy of the written
statement. A designated security means any equity security other than a
security (i) registered, or approved for registration upon notice of
issuance on a national securities exchange that makes transaction reports
available pursuant to 17 CFR 11Aa3-1 (ii) authorized or approved for
authorization upon notice of issuance, for quotation in the NASDAQ system;
(iii) that has a price of five dollars or more or . . . (iv) whose issuer has
net tangible assets in excess of $2,000,000 demonstrated by financial
statements dated less than fifteen months previously that the broker or
dealer has reviewed and has a reasonable basis to believe are true and
complete in relation to the date of the transaction with the person.
Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the
Company's securities and also may affect the ability of purchasers in this
Offering to sell their shares in the secondary market.
ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not a party to any legal proceedings nor is the Company aware
of any disputes which may result in legal proceedings.
ITEM 3. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS.

information which would be found in Part I of a registration filed under the
Securities Act.
ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Company's Bylaws provide that it will indemnify its officers and
directors for liabilities arising from actions performed on behalf of the
Company to the extent allowed by Section 17-16-851 (as amended by Ch. 190, L.
1997) of the Wyoming Statutes Ann., as amended. Section 17-16-851 et al. of
the Wyoming Statutes Ann., as amended, contains provisions entitling
directors, officers and employees of the Company to indemnification for their
expenses (including reasonable costs, disbursements and counsel fees) and
liabilities (including amounts paid or received in satisfaction of
settlements, judgments, fines and penalties), as the result of an action or
proceeding in which they may be involved by reason of being or having been a
director, officer or employee of a corporation provided said officers,
directors or employees acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING THE CORPORATION FOR
LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, IS HELD TO BE AGAINST
PUBLIC POLICY BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AND IS THEREFORE
UNENFORCEABLE.

Independent Auditors' Report
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Pinnacle Resources, Inc.
(fka Claremont House, Corp. (a Developmental Stage Company), as of June 30,
1997 and the related statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and period January 6,
1995 (Inception) through June 30, 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Pinnacle Resources, Inc. at
June 30, 1997 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
fiscal years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and the period January 6, 1995
(Inception) through June 30, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 5, the
Company is in the development stage and has no operations as of June 30,
1997. The deficiency in working capital as of June 30, 1997 raises
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans concerning these matters are described in Note 5. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of these uncertainties.

achieving profitable operations from the success of its business plan or
equity infusion of funds.
