INFORMATION STATEMENT

SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS -- ________, 1996

This Information Statement is being furnished by Amacan Resources
Corporation, a Utah corporation (the "Company" or "Amacan"), to the holders of
the Company's common stock, par value $.25 per share (the "Amacan Common
Stock"), in connection with a Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Company
(the "Special Meeting") to be held at the offices of Kimball, Parr, Waddoups,
Brown & Gee, 185 South State Street, Suite 1300, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, on
________, 1996 at 10:00 a.m., local time. At the Special Meeting, stockholders
of the Company will consider and act upon a proposal to approve, authorize and
adopt an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated January 23, 1996 (the
"Exchange Agreement") by and among the Company, Spire Technologies, Inc., a Utah
corporation ("Spire"), Spire Technologies Systems Division, Inc., a Utah
corporation ("Spire Systems," and collectively with Spire, the "Spire
Companies"), and the holders of the capital stock of the Spire Companies
(collectively, the "Spire Stockholders") and the related transactions
contemplated by the Exchange Agreement (the "Share Exchange"). Subject to
stockholder approval, the Exchange Agreement provides for, among other things:
(a) the acquisition by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding shares
of the capital stock of Spire and Spire Systems in exchange for the issuance by
the Company of an aggregate of 3,501,883 shares of Amacan Common Stock to the
Spire Stockholders; (b) a one-for-seven reverse split of the shares of Amacan
Common Stock issued and outstanding at the effective time (the "Effective Time")
of the Share Exchange (the shares of Amacan Common Stock to be issued to the
Spire Stockholders will not be subject to the reverse split of the Amacan Common
Stock); (c) amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to change the
Company's name to Spire International Corp.; (d) adoption of the Amacan
Resources Corporation Stock Incentive Plan (the "Amacan Option Plan"); (e)
substitution of options to purchase shares of Amacan Common Stock under the
Amacan Option Plan for outstanding options to purchase shares of the common
stock, par value $.01 per share, of Spire (the "Spire Common Stock") issued
pursuant to the Spire 1995 Stock Option and Award Plan (the "Spire Option
Plan"); and (f) the resignation, subsequent to the Effective Time, of the
Company's current officers and directors, and the appointment of replacement
officers and directors designated by the Spire Stockholders (provided, however,
that, as permitted under the Exchange Agreement, the Company's Board of
Directors has designated Sherman H. Smith, a financial advisor to the Company,
to serve as a director of the Company subsequent to the closing of the Share
Exchange). Immediately following the consummation of the Share Exchange, if
consummated, the shares of Amacan Common Stock owned by the current stockholders
of the Company will represent approximately 10% of the then issued and
outstanding shares of Amacan Common Stock.

The Share Exchange and other related matters are more fully described
herein, and a copy of the Exchange Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
The Share Exchange is a complex transaction. Stockholders of the Company should

Statement may also be furnished to the Spire Companies and the Spire
Stockholders to provide them relevant information in connection with any

SUMMARY OF INFORMATION STATEMENT

THE FOLLOWING IS A BRIEF SUMMARY OF CERTAIN INFORMATION CONTAINED ELSEWHERE
IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT. REFERENCE IS MADE TO, AND THIS SUMMARY IS
QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY, THE MORE DETAILED INFORMATION CONTAINED ELSEWHERE
IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT AND THE EXHIBITS ATTACHED HERETO. CROSS-
REFERENCES IN THIS SUMMARY ARE TO CAPTIONS IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT.
STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY ARE URGED TO READ AND CAREFULLY CONSIDER THIS
INFORMATION STATEMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY, PARTICULARLY THE MATTERS DISCUSSED IN THE
SECTION ENTITLED "RISK FACTORS."

THE SPECIAL MEETING

PURPOSE, TIME, DATE AND PLACE. A Special Meeting of Stockholders (the
"Special Meeting") of Amacan Resources Corporation, a Utah corporation (the
"Company" or "Amacan"), will be held at the offices of Kimball, Parr, Waddoups,
Brown & Gee, 185 South State Street, Suite 1300, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, on
________, 1996 at 10:00 a.m., local time, to consider and act upon a proposal to
approve, authorize and adopt an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated
January 23, 1996 (the "Exchange Agreement") by and among the Company, Spire
Technologies, Inc., a Utah corporation ("Spire"), Spire Technologies Systems
Division, Inc., a Utah corporation ("Spire Systems," and collectively with
Spire, the "Spire Companies"), and the holders of the capital stock of the
Spire Companies (collectively, the "Spire Stockholders"), and the related
transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement (the "Share Exchange").

RECORD DATE; VOTE REQUIRED. The Board of Directors of the Company has
fixed the close of business on February 27, 1996 as the record date (the "Record
Date") for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive notice of and
to vote at the Special Meeting. Only stockholders of record on the Record Date
will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting or any adjournments or
postponements thereof. On the Record Date, 2,723,714 shares of the common stock
of the Company, par value $.25 per share, (the"Amacan Common Stock"), held by
approximately 387 holders of record, were issued and outstanding and entitled to
vote.

The presence of a majority of the outstanding shares of Amacan Common Stock
entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is required for a quorum at the Special
Meeting. Abstentions will be counted as represented for purposes of the
determination of a quorum. Approval of the Exchange Agreement and the Share
Exchange requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
issued and outstanding shares of Amacan Common Stock entitled to vote at the
Special Meeting. Accordingly, abstentions will have the effect of a vote cast
against the Exchange Agreement and the Share Exchange. Holders of Amacan Common
Stock are entitled to one vote at the Special Meeting for each share of Amacan
Common Stock held of record on the Record Date. See "INTRODUCTION -- Vote
Required" and "VOTING SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF."

THE SHARE EXCHANGE

GENERAL. The Exchange Agreement provides for the acquisition by the
Company of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the
Spire Companies in exchange for 3,501,883 shares of Amacan Common Stock. The
shares of Amacan Common Stock to be issued to the Spire Stockholders will not be
subject to the one-for-seven reverse split of the Amacan Common Stock described
in the following paragraph. If the Share Exchange is consummated, Spire and
Spire Systems will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and the Spire
Stockholders will acquire approximately 90% of the shares of Amacan Common Stock
issued and outstanding after the Share Exchange.

EXCHANGE OF SHARES. Subject to the approval of the stockholders of the
Company, the Exchange Agreement contemplates that the Company will acquire the
Spire Companies through the exchange of all of the issued and outstanding shares
of the capital stock of the Spire Companies for 3,501,883 shares of Amacan
Common Stock to be issued to the Spire Stockholders. The Exchange Agreement
provides that at the effective time of the Share Exchange (the "Effective Time")
(i) the Company will effect a one-for-seven reverse split of the Amacan Common
Stock pursuant to which each issued and outstanding share of Amacan Common Stock
will be reverse split and converted into one-seventh (.142857) of a share of
Amacan Common Stock (the shares of Amacan Common Stock to be issued to the Spire
Stockholders will not be subject to the reverse split of the Amacan Common
Stock), (ii)

<PAGE>

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

each issued and outstanding share of the common stock, par value $.01 per share,
of Spire (the "Spire Common Stock") will be exchanged for 35.4786 shares of
Amacan Common Stock, and (iii) each issued and outstanding share of the common
stock, no par value, of Spire Systems (the "Spire Systems Common Stock") will be
exchanged for 4.0155 shares of Amacan Common Stock; provided, however, that no
fractional shares of Amacan Common Stock will be issued in connection with the
Share Exchange. If any holder of Spire Common Stock or Spire Systems Common
Stock would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Amacan Common Stock
on exchange of such shares, the Company will round the number of shares of
Amacan Common Stock to be issued to such holder to the nearest whole share.
There will be no cash payments in lieu of fractional shares. See "THE SHARE
EXCHANGE -- Exchange of Shares" and " -- Reverse Split of Amacan Common Stock."

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. The Company's Board of
Directors has unanimously determined that the Exchange Agreement and the Share
Exchange are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its
stockholders, and has therefore unanimously approved the Exchange Agreement and
the Share Exchange. The primary factors considered and relied upon by the
Company's Board of Directors in reaching its recommendation are referred to in
"THE SHARE EXCHANGE -- Reasons for the Share Exchange." THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE COMPANY UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE COMPANY'S STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR
APPROVAL OF THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT AND THE SHARE EXCHANGE. See "THE SHARE
EXCHANGE -- Recommendation of the Board of Directors."

The recommendation of the Company's Board of Directors to its stockholders
should not be considered a recommendation to any person other than the
stockholders of the Company. In particular, this recommendation should not be
considered advice to the Spire Stockholders.

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE SHARE EXCHANGE. A member of the
Company's Board of Directors may be deemed to have an interest in the Share
Exchange in addition to his interest as a stockholder of Amacan generally.
This interest consists of acceleration of deferred compensation payments payable
to the director of the Company. See "THE SHARE EXCHANGE -- Interests of Certain
Persons in the Share Exchange."

CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE. The closing of the Share Exchange (the
"Closing") is anticipated to occur on or before April 15, 1996, or on such other
date as the Company, Spire, Spire Systems and the Spire Stockholders shall
agree, provided all conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate
the Share Exchange have been satisfied or waived. See "THE SHARE EXCHANGE --
Closing and Closing Date" and "THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT -- Effective Date and Time
of the Share Exchange" and " -- Conditions to the Share Exchange." The date on
which the Closing occurs is hereinafter referred to as the "Closing Date." The
filing of Articles of Share Exchange setting forth the terms and conditions of
the Share Exchange (the "Articles of Exchange") with the Utah Division of
Corporations and Commercial Code (the "Division of Corporations") is expected to
be made as soon as practicable after the approval of the Exchange Agreement and
the Share Exchange by the Company's stockholders at the Special Meeting and the
receipt of all required consents and approvals.

MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS AFTER THE SHARE EXCHANGE. Following
consummation of the Share Exchange, the Spire Companies will continue, as
wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, their respective business operations.
The current directors of the Company will resign and will appoint four
individuals designated by the Spire Stockholders and one individual designated
by the current Board of Directors to serve as members of the Company's Board of
Directors with terms expiring at the Company's 1996 annual meeting of
stockholders. The Board of Directors has designated Sherman H. Smith, a
financial advisor to the Company, to serve as a director of the Company. See
"MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY." The current officers of the Company will also
resign and, upon their election, the new directors of the Company will appoint
persons to serve as officers of the Company in accordance with the procedures
outlined in the Utah Revised Business Corporations Act (the "Utah Act") and the
Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Company anticipates that
certain of the current officers of the Spire Companies will be appointed to
serve as officers of the Company following consummation of the Share Exchange.
See "THE SHARE EXCHANGE -- Management of the Company's Business after the Share
Exchange" and "MANAGEMENT OF THE SPIRE COMPANIES."

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT. The Share Exchange will be accounted for under the
"purchase" method of accounting, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Due to the acquisition by the Spire Stock-

<PAGE>

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

holders of approximately 90% of the Amacan Common Stock in the Share Exchange,
the Share Exchange will be treated for accounting purposes as a "reverse merger"
wherein the Spire Companies will be treated as the acquiring company. See "THE
SHARE EXCHANGE -- Accounting Treatment."

DISSENTERS' RIGHTS. Holders of shares of the Amacan Common Stock are not
entitled to exercise dissenters' rights under the Utah Act in connection with
the Share Exchange. Holders of the capital stock of the Spire Companies are
entitled to exercise dissenters' rights under the Utah Act in connection with
the Share Exchange, but have agreed not to exercise such rights. See "THE SHARE
EXCHANGE -- Dissenters' Rights."

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES. The Share Exchange is intended to
constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Holders of Amacan
Common Stock will not receive cash or stock in the Share Exchange and should
not recognize gain or loss in connection therewith, nor should the holders of
Amacan Common Stock recognize gain or loss as a result of the reverse split of
the outstanding shares of Amacan Common Stock as contemplated by the Exchange
Agreement. Assuming the Share Exchange qualifies as a reorganization under the
Code, holders of shares of the Spire Common Stock and the Spire Systems Common
Stock generally should not recognize gain or loss upon their receipt of shares
of Amacan Common Stock in the Share Exchange. The aggregate tax basis of shares
of Amacan Common Stock received in the Share Exchange should be the same as the
aggregate tax basis of the shares of Spire Common Stock or Spire Systems Common
Stock to be exchanged therefor, and the tax holding period of shares of Amacan
Common Stock received in the Share Exchange should generally include the period
during which shares of Spire Common Stock or Spire Systems Common Stock were
held prior to the Share Exchange. The Spire Companies will continue to hold
their assets with the same tax basis for those assets that existed before the
Share Exchange. The Company will obtain a tax basis in the shares of the Spire
Common Stock and the Spire Systems Common Stock equal to the tax basis in those
shares that the Spire Stockholders had at the time of the Exchange. The Company
and the Spire Companies will be eligible to file their federal income tax
returns on a consolidated basis with the Company as the common parent. The
Company may, however, be limited in its ability to offset certain losses and tax
credits from periods prior to the Share Exchange against Company income
recognized in periods subsequent to the Share Exchange. STOCKHOLDERS OF THE
COMPANY, SPIRE AND SPIRE SYSTEMS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX
ADVISORS IN DETERMINING ANY FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE
TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN. See "THE SHARE EXCHANGE -- Federal Income Tax
Consequences."

THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

EFFECTIVE DATE AND TIME OF THE SHARE EXCHANGE. The Share Exchange will
become effective upon confirmation of the filing of Articles of Exchange with
the Division of Corporations. The Articles of Exchange are expected to be
filed as soon as practicable after the satisfaction or waiver of each of the
conditions to consummation of the Share Exchange, which is expected to occur as
soon as practicable following receipt of stockholder approval at the Special
Meeting. See "THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT -- Conditions to the Share Exchange" and
" -- Termination."

CONDITIONS TO THE SHARE EXCHANGE. The obligations of the Company and the
Spire Companies to consummate the Share Exchange are subject to the satisfaction
or waiver of various conditions, including: (i) approval and adoption of the
Exchange Agreement and the Share Exchange by the stockholders of the Company and
the Spire Companies; (ii) confirmation that none of the stockholders of the
Spire Companies has elected to exercise dissenters' rights under the Utah Act;
(iii) receipt by the Company and the Spire Companies of legal opinions from
counsel to the other party in form and substance customary for transactions such
as the Share Exchange; and (iv) other customary closing conditions, including,
without limitation, the truthfulness and accuracy of the parties' respective
representations and warranties, the absence of any material adverse change in
the business condition of the respective parties, the confirmation that the
consummation of the Share Exchange and the transactions contemplated thereby
will not violate any law or regulation and will not result in the creation of
any lien or encumbrance on the respective properties of the Company, Spire and
Spire Systems, the receipt of all material third-party consents and approvals,
and the absence of any litigation which would have a material adverse effect on
the business condition of the respective parties. See "THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT -
- - Conditions to the Share Exchange."

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Under the Exchange Agreement, the Company,
the Spire Companies and the Spire Stockholders made a number of representations
concerning their respective capital structures, operations, financial
conditions, assets and properties (including intellectual properties),
environmental matters, compliance with laws and other matters. See "THE
EXCHANGE AGREEMENT -- Representations and Warranties."

CERTAIN COVENANTS. Under the Exchange Agreement, the Company and the Spire
Companies have agreed to carry on their respective businesses in the same manner
as conducted prior to the execution of the Exchange Agreement, to maintain
existing or comparable insurance coverages, to perform their respective
obligations under material contracts, leases and instruments relating to their
respective business conditions and not to take certain actions (including
changing their articles of incorporation or bylaws, paying dividends, entering
into material transactions, modifying management compensation, incurring
indebtedness, selling or disposing of certain assets and similar actions)
without the prior written approval of the other parties. The Company and the
Spire Companies have also agreed to take other customary actions to facilitate
the consummation of the Share Exchange. See "THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT -- Certain
Covenants."

TERMINATION. The Exchange Agreement may be terminated at any time prior
to the Effective Time, whether before or after approval by the stockholders of
the Company, (i) by mutual agreement of the Company, Spire and Spire Systems;
(ii) by the Company, Spire or Spire Systems, if the Share Exchange shall not
have been consummated on or before April 15, 1996 or such later date as
approved by the Company, Spire and Spire Systems; (iii) by the Company if Spire
or Spire Systems shall fail to comply in any material respect with any covenant
or agreement contained in the Exchange Agreement or if any of the
representations or warranties of Spire or Spire Systems shall be inaccurate in
any material respect; and (iv) by Spire and Spire Systems if the Company shall
fail to comply in any material respect with any covenant or agreement contained
in the Exchange Agreement or if any of the representations or warranties of the
Company shall be inaccurate in any material respect. See "THE EXCHANGE
AGREEMENT -- Conditions to the Share Exchange," " -- Termination" and
" -- Expenses of the Share Exchange."

EXPENSES OF THE SHARE EXCHANGE. Except as described below, whether or not
the Share Exchange is consummated, the fees, costs and expenses incurred by the
Company, Spire and Spire Systems in connection with the Exchange Agreement and
the consummation or attempted consummation of the Share Exchange, including fees
and expenses of legal counsel, will be borne by the party incurring such fees,
costs or expenses. In the event, however, that the Exchange Agreement is
terminated as a result of a party's failure to comply in any material respect

result of a materially inaccurate representation or warranty made by a party,
the party causing such termination shall bear the fees, costs and expenses
incurred by the other party or parties. See "THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT --
Conditions to the Share Exchange," " -- Termination" and " -- Expenses of the
Share Exchange."

STOCK OPTION PLANS. Under the Share Exchange, the Company will substitute
options ("Substitute Options") to purchase shares of Amacan Common Stock for
each outstanding employee stock option to purchase shares of Spire Common Stock
issued pursuant to the Spire Option Plan (a "Spire Option") and will reserve for
issuance upon the exercise of such Substitute Options not less than 650,000
shares of Amacan Common Stock. Each Substitute Option will continue to be
outstanding on the same terms and conditions as a Spire Option, except that the
number of shares of Amacan Common Stock to be received upon its exercise and the
exercise price will be adjusted in accordance with the exchange ratio for the
Spire Common Stock set forth in the Exchange Agreement. To facilitate the
substitution of the Substitute Options, among other reasons, the Board has
approved, and will submit to the stockholders of the Company for approval at the
Special Meeting, the Amacan Resources Corporation Stock Incentive Plan (the
"Amacan Option Plan"). If the Share Exchange and the adoption of the Amacan
Option Plan are approved by the stockholders of the Company at the Special
Meeting, the Company will exchange the Substitute Options for the Spire Options,
and the holders of the Substitute Options will participate in the Amacan Option
Plan. See "THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT -- Stock Option Plans" and "ADOPTION OF
AMACAN OPTION PLAN."

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

BUSINESS OF THE SPIRE COMPANIES

Spire, a Utah corporation founded in 1986, and Spire Systems, a Utah
corporation founded in 1992, resell Digital Equipment Corporation's ("Digital"
or "DEC") network computer systems and components on a value added basis,
develop and sell office automation software products, act as "service and value
added resellers" and distributors of software developed by third parties and
develop and implement client/server solutions for open computing environments.
The Spire Companies offer a wide range of desktop, client/server and production
systems and related components, peripheral equipment, software and services used
in a wide variety of applications, industries and computing environments. The
Spire Companies have entered into strategic partner arrangements with Lotus
Development Corporation and Novell, Inc., two major application software
manufacturers, and DEC, a major hardware manufacturer.

AMACAN COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDEND POLICY

The Amacan Common Stock is publicly held and is traded under the symbol
"ANRP" in the United States over-the-counter market maintained by the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. On January 23, 1996, the last day prior
to the public announcement of the proposed Share Exchange, the high and low bid
prices for the Amacan Common Stock in the over-the-counter market, as reported
by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc., were $.10 and $.03125, respectively.
These prices reflect interdealer quotations without retail markup, markdown or
commissions and do not necessarily represent actual transactions. As of January
23, 1996, approximately 1,202,500 of the approximately 2,723,714 issued and
outstanding shares of Amacan Common Stock were "restricted securities," as that
term is defined under Rule 144 ("Rule 144") promulgated pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). All of the
restricted shares are currently eligible for sale in reliance upon Rule 144,
subject to certain volume and resale restrictions.

The shares of Amacan Common Stock proposed to be issued in connection with
the Share Exchange will not be registered under the Securities Act, and thus
will be restricted securities. Restricted securities may not be resold unless
they are registered under the Securities Act or sold pursuant to an applicable
exemption from registration. Each certificate representing Amacan Common Stock
issued in the Share Exchange will bear a legend respecting such restrictions on
transfer.

The Company has never declared or paid dividends on the Amacan Common
Stock. Payment of dividends will be within the discretion of the Company's
Board of Directors and will depend, among other factors, on earnings, capital
requirements and the operating and financial condition of the Company. At the
present time the Company intends to retain any future earnings for use in its
business and therefore does not anticipate paying any dividends on Amacan Common
Stock in the foreseeable future.

SPIRE AND SPIRE SYSTEMS COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDEND POLICY

Shares of the Spire Common Stock and the Spire Systems Common Stock are not
publicly traded and no public market exists therefor. As of January 23, 1996,
there were 87,386 shares of Spire Common Stock outstanding, held by six holders
of record and 100,000 shares of Spire Systems Common Stock outstanding, held by
five holders of record. See "VOTING SECURITIES OF THE SPIRE COMPANIES AND
PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF." The stockholders of Spire entered into a
Stockholders Agreement on January 1, 1989 (the "Spire Stockholders Agreement"),
which, among other things, restricts the stockholders' lifetime transfer of
shares of Spire Common Stock, provides a right of first refusal to Spire and
remaining stockholders to purchase shares of Spire Common Stock from a selling
stockholder, and provides for the purchase of the shares of Spire Common Stock
held by a

<PAGE>

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

stockholder in the event of death of the stockholder and for the funding of such
purchase by insurance proceeds. Following the completion of the transactions
contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, the Spire Stockholders Agreement will be
terminated. See "DESCRIPTION OF THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE SPIRE COMPANIES --
Termination of Stockholder Agreement."

Dividends are payable on the Spire Common Stock and Spire Systems Common
Stock when, as and if declared by the Boards of Directors of Spire and Spire
Systems, respectively. The Spire Companies have never declared or paid
dividends on the Spire Common Stock or the Spire Systems Common Stock. Upon
consummation of the Share Exchange, the Company will become the sole stockholder
of the Spire Companies. Any dividends paid by either of the Spire Companies
will be paid solely to the Company. Existing holders of the Spire Common Stock
and Spire Systems Common Stock will not be entitled to receive dividends or any
other distributions from the Spire Companies.

INFORMATION STATEMENT
____________________________

SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
________, 1996

INTRODUCTION

GENERAL

This Information Statement is being furnished by Amacan Resources
Corporation, a Utah corporation (the "Company" or "Amacan"), to holders of the
Company's common stock, par value $.25 per share (the "Amacan Common Stock"),
for use in connection with a Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Company to
be held at the offices of Kimball, Parr, Waddoups, Brown & Gee, 185 South State
Street, Suite 1300, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 on ________, 1996, at 10:00 a.m.,
local time, and at any adjournments or postponements thereof (the "Special
Meeting"). This Information Statement and the attached Notice of Special
Meeting are first being mailed to stockholders of the Company on or about March
___, 1996.

The purpose of the Special Meeting is to consider and act upon a proposal
to approve, authorize and adopt an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated
January 23, 1996 (the "Exchange Agreement") by and among the Company, Spire
Technologies, Inc., a Utah corporation ("Spire"), Spire Technologies Systems
Division, Inc., a Utah corporation ("Spire Systems," and collectively with
Spire, the "Spire Companies"), and the holders of the capital stock of the Spire
Companies (collectively, the "Spire Stockholders"), and the related transactions
contemplated by the Exchange Agreement (the "Share Exchange"). Subject to
stockholder approval, the Exchange Agreement provides for, among other things:
(a) the acquisition by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding shares
of the capital stock of Spire and Spire Systems in exchange for the issuance by
the Company of an aggregate of 3,501,883 shares of Amacan Common Stock to the
Spire Stockholders; (b) a one-for-seven reverse split of the shares of Amacan
Common Stock issued and outstanding at the effective time (the "Effective Time")
of the Share Exchange (the shares of Amacan Common Stock to be issued to the
Spire Stockholders will not be subject to the reverse split of the Amacan Common
Stock); (c) amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to change the
Company's name to Spire International Corp.; (d) adoption of the Amacan
Resources Corporation Stock Incentive Plan (the "Amacan Option Plan"); (e)
substitution of options to purchase shares of Amacan Common Stock under the
Amacan Option Plan for outstanding options to purchase shares of the common
stock, par value $.01 per share, of Spire (the "Spire Common Stock") issued
pursuant to the Spire 1995 Stock Option and Award Plan (the "Spire Option
Plan"); and (f) the resignation, subsequent to the Effective Time, of the
Company's current officers and directors, and the appointment of replacement
officers and directors designated by the Spire Stockholders (provided, however,
that, as permitted under the Exchange Agreement, the Company's Board of
Directors has designated Sherman H. Smith, a financial advisor to the Company,
to serve as a director of the Company subsequent to the closing of the Share
Exchange). Immediately following the consummation of the Share Exchange, if
consummated, the shares of Amacan Common Stock owned by the current stockholders
of the Company will represent approximately 10% of the then issued and
outstanding shares of Amacan Common Stock.

<PAGE>

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

principal advantages to the Company, the Spire Companies or their respective
stockholders: (i) the Spire Companies will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of
the Company and the operating and financial results of the Company will include
the operating and financial results of the Spire Companies; (ii) the Spire
Stockholders will acquire approximately 90% of the shares of Amacan Common Stock
which will be outstanding following consummation of the Share Exchange; (iii)
the Company's business will no longer be limited to passive participation as a
working interest holder in oil and gas wells and will become the business
presently conducted by the Spire Companies; (iv) the Company will be positioned
to pursue growth opportunities in the expanding and changing information
technology industry; (v) the Company's management will be undertaken by
individuals selected by the Spire Stockholders based upon their knowledge and
experience in developing, implementing and marketing office automation systems
and components; (vi) as compared to the present resources of the Spire
Companies, the Company will possess greater access to traditional capital
markets and, as determined appropriate by the Company's management, will be in
an improved position to raise additional capital to develop the business and
products of the Spire Companies; (vii) the Company will substitute options to
purchase shares of Amacan Common Stock pursuant to the Amacan Option Plan for
each outstanding employee stock option to purchase shares of Spire Common Stock
pursuant to the Spire Option Plan; and (viii) the Share Exchange will be
structured as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Share Exchange, including
the impact of the foregoing effects on the Company, the Spire Companies and
their respective stockholders, is more fully described elsewhere in this
Information Statement and a copy of the Exchange Agreement is attached hereto as
Exhibit A. See "THE SHARE EXCHANGE -- Principal Effects of the Share Exchange,"
"-- Reasons for the Share Exchange," "-- Recommendation of the Board of
Directors" and "-- Management of the Company's Business After the Share
Exchange," "THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT -- Stock Option Plans," "UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS" and "BUSINESS OF THE SPIRE COMPANIES."

The Share Exchange, if consummated, would result in the following
disadvantages to the Company, the Spire Companies or their respective
stockholders: (i) the existing holders of Amacan Common Stock will experience
immediate and substantial dilution, resulting in a reduction of their collective
interest in the Company from 100% of the Amacan Common Stock to approximately
10% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Amacan Common Stock; (ii)
negotiation of the terms of the Share Exchange has required significant
management resources of the Company and the Spire Companies and consummation of
the Share Exchange will require additional management time and resources, which
may disrupt the operations of the Company (including the operations presently
conducted by the Spire Companies) and may affect its operating results; (iii)
the "reverse acquisition" nature of the Share Exchange may limit the Company's
ability to offset certain existing tax losses and credits against the post-
exchange income of the Company for periods subsequent to the Share Exchange;
(iv) under the terms of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act, the existing
stockholders of the Company will not be entitled to exercise dissenters' rights;
and (v) the Company will become a minor competitor in the information technology
industry, which is high competitive and subject to rapid change, and will be
forced to compete with larger information technology companies that possess
significantly greater resources and access to capital. Such disadvantages are
more fully described elsewhere in the Information Statement. See "THE SHARE
EXCHANGE -- Exchange of Shares," " -- Principal Effects of the Share Exchange,"
"-- Dissenters' Rights" and "-- Federal Income Tax Consequences" and "RISK
FACTORS."

Stockholders of the Company should consider carefully the matters discussed
in this Information Statement. In addition to being furnished to holders of the
Amacan Common Stock, this Information Statement may also be furnished to the
Spire Companies and the Spire Stockholders to provide them relevant information
in connection with any required actions or consents on the part of the Spire
Companies and the Spire Stockholders in connection with the Share Exchange.
Nonetheless, the recommendations of the Company's Board of Directors to its
stockholders hereinafter set forth should not be considered recommendations or
advice to the Spire Companies or the Spire Stockholders.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY BELIEVES THAT THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
AND THE SHARE EXCHANGE ARE FAIR TO, AND IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF, THE COMPANY
AND ITS STOCKHOLDERS AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE
COMPANY VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT AND THE SHARE EXCHANGE. The
recommendation of the Board of Directors to its stockholders should not be
considered a recommendation to any person other than the stockholders of the
Company. In particular, the recommendation of the Board of

<PAGE>

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

Directors to its stockholders should not be considered advice to the
stockholders of Spire. A member of the Board of Directors has an interest which
may present him with a conflict of interest in connection with the Share
Exchange. See "THE SHARE EXCHANGE -- Interests of Certain Persons in the Share
Exchange."

The Board of Directors knows of no business that will be presented for
consideration at the Special Meeting other than the matters described in this
Information Statement.

The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 1399 South
Seventh East, No. 9, Salt Lake City, Utah 84105, and the Company's telephone
number is (801) 486-9911. Upon consummation of the Share Exchange, the Company
intends to consolidate its offices with the offices of the Spire Companies,
located at 311 North State Street, Orem, Utah 84057. The Company anticipates
that its telephone number will become (801) 226-3355.

RECORD DATE

The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on February 27, 1995
as the record date (the "Record Date") for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting. Accordingly,
only holders of the Amacan Common Stock of record on the books of the Company at
the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Special
Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 2,723,714
shares of Amacan Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the
Special Meeting held by approximately 387 holders of record.

VOTE REQUIRED

As of the date of this Information Statement, the officers and directors of
the Company, consisting of four persons, owned, directly or indirectly, an
aggregate of approximately 936,000 shares of the Amacan Common Stock,
representing approximately 34% of the outstanding shares of the Amacan Common
Stock. See "VOTING SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF."
Each of the officers and directors has indicated his intention to vote all
shares owned by him in favor of the proposal to approve, authorize and adopt the
Exchange Agreement and the Share Exchange.

THE SHARE EXCHANGE

The following information with respect to the Share Exchange is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Exchange Agreement, a
copy of which is attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit A and
incorporated by reference herein.

EXCHANGE OF SHARES

Subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company, the Exchange
Agreement was entered into as of January 23, 1996 by and among the Company,
Spire, Spire Systems and the Spire Stockholders. Pursuant to the Exchange
Agreement, the Company proposes to acquire the Spire Companies through the
exchange of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the
Spire Companies for 3,501,883 shares of Amacan Common Stock to be issued to the
Spire Stockholders in the Share Exchange. At the Effective Time, (i) the
Company will effect a one-for-seven reverse split of the Amacan Common Stock
pursuant to which each issued and outstanding share of Amacan Common Stock will
be reverse split and converted into one-seventh (.142857) of a share of Amacan
Common Stock, (ii) each share of Spire Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately at the Effective Time will be exchanged for 35.4786 shares of Amacan
Common Stock, and (iii) each share of the common stock, no par value, of Spire
Systems (the "Spire Systems Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately at
the Effective Time will be exchanged for 4.0155 shares of Amacan Common Stock;
provided, however, that in an effort to avoid the administrative burdens
associated with the issuance of fractional shares, no fractional shares of
Amacan Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Share Exchange.
Furthermore, the Company and the Spire Stockholders have concluded that the
value of any fractional share interest that would otherwise be received by any
Spire Stockholder, relative to the number of shares of Amacan Common Stock to be
issued to the Spire Stockholders, would be nominal. Accordingly, the Company
and the Spire Stockholders have agreed that there will be no cash payments in
lieu of fractional shares. If any holder of Spire Common Stock or Spire Systems
Common Stock would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Amacan Common
Stock on exchange of such shares, the Company will round the aggregate number of
shares of Amacan Common Stock to be issued to such holder to the nearest whole
share.

Upon consummation of the Share Exchange (including the reverse split of the
Amacan Common Stock), the Spire Stockholders will own 3,501,883 shares or
approximately 90% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Amacan Common
Stock, and the holders the Amacan Common Stock at the Effective Time will own
approximately 389,102 shares or approximately 10% of the then issued and
outstanding shares of Amacan Common Stock.

BACKGROUND OF THE SHARE EXCHANGE

For more than 20 years, the Company has been a passive participant in oil
and gas exploration and development, accumulating small working interests in oil
and gas wells. The Company has had extremely limited resources and in recent
years has incurred losses from operations. In 1994, the Company's Board of
Directors determined that the Company should actively seek an acquisition or
merger with an operating company in an effort to increase stockholder value.
The Board's determination was based largely upon the Board's assessment that the
Company was unlikely to undertake oil and gas exploration activities in the
future and that the Company's oil and gas reserves were being depleted without
replacement. In the period since that determination, the Board of Directors has
considered a number of possible acquisitions, but has elected not to pursue
those acquisitions because of the Company's limited resources or because of the
belief of the Board of Directors that the proposed acquisitions did not
represent viable transactions.

In October 1995, representatives of the Company met with Gary B. Godfrey,
President of Spire, and other representatives of the Spire Companies to discuss,
in general terms, the possibility of a business combination between the Company
and the Spire Companies. Mr. Godfrey provided to the Company's representatives
an introduction to the operations and financial condition of Spire and responded
to the Company's questions. On October 26, 1995, three of the directors of the
Company visited Spire's facilities in Orem, Utah, met with Spire's officers,
directors and senior management and received from Spire management a
presentation outlining the operations, financial condition and prospects of the
Spire Companies. The directors then excused Spire's

<PAGE>

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

management and discussed the information presented by Spire management and the
Company's operations and prospects.

On November 10, 1995, the Spire Companies submitted to the Board of
Directors a proposal for the combination of the Spire Companies with the
Company. In response to Spire's proposal, the Board requested that Sherman H.
Smith, a certified public accountant and financial advisor to the Company, meet
with Spire management to conduct further investigation of the possible
combination. On November 17, 1995, Mr. Smith met with Spire management to
review additional information, consisting principally of financial and
accounting information.

On November 21, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors convened a special
meeting of directors for the purposes of continuing its review of the proposed
combination. During the course of that meeting, the Board reviewed the
financial and accounting information collected by Mr. Smith during his meeting
with Spire management, considered additional business and financial information
supplied by the Spire Companies and discussed the business, industry, financial
condition, management, prospects and risks associated with the Spire Companies.
Following extended discussions regarding the proposed transaction, the Board
authorized the Company's officers and advisors to enter into discussions with
Spire management to negotiate a plan of reorganization and to take additional
actions those officers and advisors determined necessary to effect the proposed
business combination.

During the period between December 1, 1995 and January 15, 1996, the
officers and advisors of the Company negotiated the terms of the Exchange
Agreement, reviewed due diligence materials and developed disclosure schedules
relating to the businesses of the Company and the Spire Companies. During that
period, the Board of Directors met on January 5 and 15, 1996 to review the
progress of the negotiations and evaluate the business and financial information
delivered by the Spire Companies. At the January 15 meeting, the directors of
the Company received reports from the Company's officers and advisors involved
in the negotiation of the transaction and completed their evaluation of the
terms of the Share Exchange. The members of the Company's Board of Directors
then voted unanimously to approve the Exchange Agreement and to recommend that
the Company's stockholders vote in favor of the Share Exchange.

REASONS FOR THE SHARE EXCHANGE

In approving the Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby, and in resolving to recommend that the stockholders of the Company
approve the Share Exchange, the Exchange Agreement and the other transactions
contemplated thereby, the Company's Board of Directors considered a number of
factors. The principal factors were:

- The Board's evaluation of the Company's business and financial
condition and the limited nature of the Company's current operations
as a working interest holder in oil and gas exploration and
development activities conducted by other parties. In particular, the
Board concluded that the Company was unlikely to undertake oil and gas
exploration activities in the future and recognized that the Company's
oil and gas reserves were being depleted without replacement. Based
upon its evaluation of the Company's business, financial condition and
operations, the Board concluded that the Company's existing operations
offered little, if any, potential for increasing stockholder value.

- The Board's evaluation of the business, financial condition, operating
history, management and prospects of the Spire Companies and its
conclusion that the acquisition of the capital stock of the Spire
Companies offers a realistic possibility of increasing Amacan
stockholder value. The Board's conclusion that the Share Exchange
offers a realistic possibility of increasing stockholder value was
based upon the following assessments; (i) the Spire Companies have
identified and begun to exploit a market segment that offers
significant growth potential; (ii) Spire management is actively
involved in the operation and development of Spire's business; and
(iii) the Spire Companies have developed strategic partner
arrangements with major hardware and software developers and
manufacturers, and appear to be in a position to capitalize on those
arrangements.

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

- The Board's determination that the number of shares of Amacan Common
Stock to be issued to the Spire Stockholders fairly reflects the value
of the Spire Companies. The Board's determination was based upon (i)
its assessment of the value of the Company's principal financial and
non-financial assets (primarily the Company's cash, investments, oil
and gas interests and status as a public company); (ii) the aggregate
market value of the outstanding shares of the Amacan Common Stock
(recognizing that the Amacan Common Stock has experienced extremely
limited trading activity during the past several years); (iii) its
evaluation of the current and forecasted revenues and earnings of the
Spire Companies; (iv) its estimate of the combined value of the Spire
Companies, based upon revenues, earnings, projected growth and market
potential; and (v) its assessment of the relative values of Spire and
Spire Systems.

- The risks associated with the business of the Spire Companies. The
principal risks reviewed by the Board are set forth below under the
heading "RISK FACTORS."

- Current economic and market conditions.

After considering each of the principal factors described above, the Board
of Directors determined that the Share Exchange was in the best interests of the
Company and its stockholders and that the Company should proceed to effectuate
the Share Exchange at the earliest possible date. In view of the wide variety
of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Share Exchange,
the Board did not find it practicable to assign relative weights to or otherwise
quantify each of the factors considered in reaching its determination regarding
the fairness of the Share Exchange.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Company's Board of Directors has unanimously determined that the
Exchange Agreement and the Share Exchange are fair to, and in the best interests
of, the Company and its stockholders, and has therefore unanimously approved the
Exchange Agreement and the Share Exchange. The primary factors considered and
relied upon by the Company's Board of Directors in reaching its recommendation
are referred to above in " -- Reasons for the Share Exchange." THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE COMPANY'S STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR
APPROVAL OF THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT AND THE SHARE EXCHANGE. The recommendation
of the Board of Directors to the Company's stockholders should not be considered
a recommendation to any person other than the stockholders of the Company. In
particular, this recommendation should not be considered advice to the
stockholders of Spire Companies. A member of the Company's Board of Directors
has an interest which may present him with a conflict of interest in connection
with the Share Exchange. See " -- Interests of Certain Persons in the Share
Exchange."

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE SHARE EXCHANGE

A member of the Company's Board of Directors may be deemed to have an
interest in the Share Exchange in addition to his interest as a stockholder of
Amacan generally. His interest is summarized below.

In November, 1988, Mr. Russell G. Holley, a director of the Company and its
President and Chief Executive Officer from 1974 until 1994, and the Company
entered into a Deferred Compensation Agreement (the "Holley Agreement") which
provides for payment by the Company to Mr. Holley of annual deferred
compensation payments in the amount of $12,000, commencing upon Mr. Holley's
retirement from the Company and continuing for a period of ten years. The
Company's obligation under the Holley Agreement, which is subject to certain
conditions, was undertaken in exchange for Mr. Holley's agreement to continue
his employment with the Company until January 1, 1990 or a later date agreed
upon by the Company and Mr. Holley. The Company and Mr. Holley subsequently
amended the Holley Agreement to provide for monthly payments in the amount of
$3,000, commencing on May 1, 1994 and continuing for a period of three years.
In connection with the Share Exchange, which contemplates that Mr. Holley and
other officers and directors of the Company resign their positions with the
Company, the Company and Mr. Holley have agreed to terminate the Holley
Agreement and accelerate the payment of the unpaid balance, in the amount of
approximately $45,000, due thereunder.

PRINCIPAL EFFECTS OF THE SHARE EXCHANGE

The Share Exchange, if consummated, will materially affect the Company, the
Spire Companies and their respective stockholders. Among other effects,
consummation of the Share Exchange would result in the following principal
advantages to the Company, the Spire Companies or their respective stockholders:
(i) the Spire Companies will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and
the operating and financial results of the Company will include the operating
and financial results of the Spire Companies; (ii) the Spire Stockholders will
acquire approximately 90% of the shares of Amacan Common Stock which will be
outstanding following consummation of the Share Exchange; (iii) the Company's
business will no longer be limited to passive participation as a working
interest holder in oil and gas wells and will become the business presently
conducted by the Spire Companies; (iv) the Company will be positioned to pursue
growth opportunities in the expanding and changing information technology
industry; (v) the Company's management will be undertaken by individuals
selected by the Spire Stockholders based upon their knowledge and experience in
developing, implementing and marketing office automation systems and components;
(vi) as compared to the present resources of the Spire Companies, the Company
will possess greater access to traditional capital markets and, as determined
appropriate by the Company's management, will be in an improved position to
raise additional capital to develop the business and products of the Spire
Companies; (vii) the Company will substitute options to purchase shares of
Amacan Common Stock pursuant to the Amacan Option Plan for each outstanding
employee stock option to purchase shares of Spire Common Stock pursuant to the
Spire Option Plan; and (viii) the Share Exchange will be structured as a tax-
free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. The Share Exchange,
including the impact of the foregoing effects on the Company, the Spire
Companies and their respective stockholders, is more fully described elsewhere
in this Information Statement, and a copy of the Exchange Agreement is attached
hereto as Exhibit A. See "THE SHARE EXCHANGE -- Reasons for the Share
Exchange," "-- Recommendation of the Board of Directors" and "-- Management of
the Company's Business After the Share Exchange," "THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT --
Stock Option Plans," "UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS" and "BUSINESS OF THE SPIRE COMPANIES."

The Share Exchange, if consummated, would result in the following
disadvantages to the Company, the Spire Companies or their respective
stockholders: (i) existing holders of Amacan Common Stock will experience
immediate and substantial dilution, resulting in a reduction of their collective
interest in the Company from 100% of the Amacan Common Stock to approximately
10% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Amacan Common Stock; (ii)
negotiation of the terms of the Share Exchange has required significant
management resources of the Company and the Spire Companies and consummation of
the Share Exchange will require additional management time and resources, which
may disrupt the operations of the Company (including the operations presently
conducted by the Spire Companies) and may affect its operating results; (iii)
the "reverse acquisition" nature of the Share Exchange may limit the Company's
ability to offset certain tax losses and credits against the post-exchange
income of the Company for periods subsequent to the Share Exchange; (iv) under
the terms of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act, the existing
stockholders of the Company will not be entitled to exercise dissenters' rights
with respect to the Share Exchange; and (v) the Company will become a minor
competitor in the information technology industry, which is highly competitive
and subject to rapid change, and will be forced to compete with larger
information technology companies that possess significantly greater resources
and access to capital. Such disadvantages are more fully described elsewhere in
the Information Statement. See "THE SHARE EXCHANGE -- Exchange of Shares," "--
Dissenters' Rights" and "-- Federal Income Tax Consequences" and "RISK FACTORS."

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

EXPENSES OF THE SHARE EXCHANGE

Except as described below, whether or not the Share Exchange is
consummated, the fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Company, Spire and
Spire Systems in connection with the Exchange Agreement and the consummation or
attempted consummation of the Share Exchange, including fees and expenses of
legal counsel, will be borne by the party incurring such fees, costs or
expenses. In the event, however, that the Exchange Agreement is terminated as a
result of a party's failure to comply in any material respect with the covenants
or agreements contained in the Exchange Agreement or as a result of a materially
inaccurate representation or warranty made by a party, the party causing such
termination will bear the fees, costs and expenses incurred by the other party
or parties. See "THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT -- Conditions to the Share Exchange"
and " -- Termination."

CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE

The closing of the Share Exchange (the "Closing") is anticipated to occur
on or before April 15, 1996, or on such other date as the Company and the Spire
Companies shall agree, provided all conditions to the obligations of the parties
to consummate the Share Exchange have been satisfied or waived, including (i)
approval and adoption of the Exchange Agreement and the Share Exchange by the
stockholders of the Company and the Spire Companies; (ii) confirmation that none
of the stockholders of the Spire Companies has elected to exercise dissenters'
rights under the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (the "Utah Act"); (iii)
receipt by the Company and the Spire Companies of legal opinions from counsel to
the other party in form and substance customary for transactions such as the
Share Exchange; and (iv) other customary conditions to closing, including
without limitation, the truthfulness and accuracy of the parties' respective
representations and warranties, the absence of any material adverse change in
the business condition of the respective parties, the confirmation that the
consummation of the Share Exchange and the transactions contemplated thereby
will not violate any law or regulation and will not result in the creation of
any lien or encumbrance on the respective properties of the Company, Spire and
Spire Systems, the receipt of all material third-party consents and approvals,
and the absence of any litigation which would have a material adverse effect on
the business condition of the respective parties. The date on which the Closing
occurs is hereinafter referred to as the "Closing Date." The filing of Articles
of Share Exchange setting forth the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange
(the "Articles of Exchange") with the Utah Division of Corporations and
Commercial Code (the "Division of Corporations") is expected to be made as soon
as practicable after the approval of the Exchange Agreement and the Share
Exchange by the stockholders of the Company at the Special Meeting and the
receipt of all required consents and approvals. See "THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT --
Effective Date and Time of the Share Exchange" and " -- Conditions to the Share
Exchange."

REVERSE SPLIT OF AMACAN COMMON STOCK

If the Share Exchange and the Exchange Agreement are approved by the
holders of Amacan Common Stock at the Special Meeting, at the Effective Time the
Company will effect a reverse stock split pursuant to which each issued and
outstanding share of Amacan Common Stock will be reverse split and converted
into one-seventh (.142857) of a share of Amacan Common Stock; provided, however,
that no fractional shares of Amacan Common Stock will be issued in connection
with the Share Exchange. If any holder of Amacan Common Stock would otherwise
be entitled to a fractional share of Amacan Common Stock in connection with the
reverse split of the Amacan Common Stock, the Company will round the number of
shares of Amacan Common Stock to be issued to such holder to the nearest whole
share. There will be no cash payments in lieu of fractional shares.

MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS AFTER THE SHARE EXCHANGE

Following consummation of the Share Exchange, the Spire Companies will
continue, as wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, their respective business
operations. The current directors of the Company will resign and will appoint
four individuals designated by the Spire Stockholders and one individual
designated by the current Board of Directors to serve as members of the
Company's Board of Directors with terms expiring at the Company's 1996 annual
meeting of stockholders. The Board of Directors has designated Sherman H.
Smith, a financial advisor to the Company, to serve as a director of the Company
following consummation of the Share Exchange. See "MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY."
The current officers of the Company will also resign and, upon their

<PAGE>

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

election, the new directors of the Company will appoint persons to serve as
officers of the Company in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Utah
Act and the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Company
anticipates that certain of the current officers of the Spire Companies will be
appointed to serve as officers of the Company following consummation of the
Share Exchange. See "MANAGEMENT OF THE SPIRE COMPANIES."

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

The Share Exchange will be accounted for under the "purchase" method of
accounting, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For
the reasons described below, the Share Exchange will be treated for accounting
purposes as a "reverse merger" wherein the Spire Companies will be treated as
the acquiring company. The treatment of the Share Exchange as a "reverse
merger," even though the Company will issue shares of Amacan Common Stock to the
Spire Stockholders, is due to the acquisition by the Spire Stockholders of
approximately 90% of the outstanding shares of Amacan Common Stock after
consummation of the Share Exchange and the expectation that, if the Share
Exchange is consummated, the existing management of Spire will become the
management of the Company. Under the purchase method of accounting, the net
assets of the Company will be recorded at their fair market value at the Closing
Date and the operating results of the Company prior to the Share Exchange will
not be included with the historical operating results of the Spire Companies.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements appearing
elsewhere in this Information Statement are based upon certain assumptions and
allocate the purchase price to assets and liabilities based upon preliminary
estimates of their respective fair values. The pro forma adjustments and
combined amounts are included for informational purposes only. If the Share
Exchange is consummated, the Company's financial statements will reflect effects
of acquisition adjustments only from the Effective Time. The actual allocation
of the purchase price may differ significantly from the allocation reflected in
the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements. See "SELECTED
HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION" and "UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS."

DISSENTERS' RIGHTS

The proposed Share Exchange creates dissenters' rights for the stockholders
of the Spire Companies under the Utah Act. Holders of Amacan Common Stock are
not entitled to assert dissenters' rights in connection with the Share Exchange.
The procedure to be followed by stockholders of the Spire Companies in order to
dissent from the proposed Share Exchange and to assert dissenters' rights is
outlined in Part 13 of the Utah Act. Stockholders of the Spire Companies who
desire to enforce dissenters' rights must comply with the requirements of the
Utah Act. Holders of Spire Common Stock and Spire Systems Common Stock who
elect to exercise such dissenters' rights in accordance with the procedures
specified under the Utah Act will be entitled to have their shares purchased by
the Company for cash.

Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Spire Stockholders have
represented to Amacan that they have not elected to exercise dissenters' rights
in connection with the Share Exchange. Furthermore, the Spire Stockholders, each
of whom was represented in the negotiation of the terms of the Share Exchange
and the preparation of the Exchange Agreement, have agreed that in order to
induce the Company to enter into the Exchange Agreement and consummate the Share
Exchange, they will not elect to exercise dissenters' rights subsequent to the
execution of the Exchange Agreement. The agreement of the Spire Stockholders to
not exercise dissenters' rights was made voluntarily by each of the Spire
Stockholders in consideration of the obligations of the Company set forth in the
Exchange Agreement. Furthermore, the obligations of Amacan under the Exchange
Agreement are expressly subject to the condition that no stockholder of Spire or
Spire Systems shall have elected to exercise dissenters' rights under the Utah
Act.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following discussion summarizes certain of the federal income tax
consequences of the Share Exchange that are generally applicable to holders of
shares of the Amacan Common Stock, the Spire Common Stock and the Spire Systems
Common Stock under the Code. This discussion does not deal with all federal
income tax

<PAGE>

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

considerations that may be relevant to particular stockholders of the Company
and the Spire Companies in light of their particular circumstances, such as
stockholders who are dealers in securities, foreign persons, tax-exempt entities
or stockholders who acquired their shares in connection with stock option or
stock purchase plans or in other compensatory transactions. In addition, the
following discussion does not address the tax consequences of transactions
effectuated prior or subsequent to or concurrently with the Share Exchange
(whether or not such transactions are in connection with the Share Exchange),
including without limitation, transactions in which shares of Amacan Common
Stock are acquired or shares of Spire Common Stock or Spire Systems Common Stock
are disposed of. The following discussion is based upon provisions of the Code,
regulations, administrative rulings and judicial decisions presently in effect,
all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) or to
different interpretations. Furthermore, no foreign, state or local tax
considerations are addressed herein.

The Share Exchange is intended to constitute a "reorganization" within the
meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Assuming the Share Exchange does so
"qualify," the following tax consequences will generally result (subject to the
limitations and qualifications referred to herein):

(a) No gain or loss should be recognized by holders of Amacan Common
Stock by virtue of the proposed one-for-seven reverse split of the Amacan
Common Stock or the Company's exchange of shares of Amacan Common Stock for
all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Spire
Companies;

(b) No gain or loss should be recognized by holders of Spire Common
Stock or Spire Systems Common Stock solely upon their receipt in the Share
Exchange of shares of Amacan Common Stock in exchange therefor;

(c) The aggregate tax basis of the shares of Amacan Common Stock
received in the Share Exchange should be the same as the aggregate tax
basis of shares of Spire Common Stock or Spire Systems Common Stock
surrendered in exchange therefor; and

(d) The tax holding period of the shares of Amacan Common Stock
received in the Share Exchange should include the period for which the
shares of Spire Common Stock or Spire Systems Common Stock surrendered in
exchange therefor were held, provided that the shares of Spire Common Stock
or Spire Systems Common Stock are held as a capital asset at the time of
the Share Exchange.

(e) The Spire Companies will continue to hold their assets with the
same tax basis for those assets that existed before the Share Exchange.

(f) The Company will have a tax basis in the shares of the Spire
Common Stock and the Spire Systems Common Stock equal to the tax basis in
those shares that the Spire Stockholders had at the time of the Exchange.

(g) The Company and the Spire Companies will be eligible to file
their federal income tax returns on a consolidated basis with the Company
as the common parent, but the Company may, however, be limited in its
ability to apply any carryforwards of pre-exchange net operating losses,
unused general business credits, corporate minimum tax credits or capital
loss carryovers against the post-exchange income of the Company from non-
oil and gas operations.

The parties are not requesting a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") in connection with the Share Exchange. Qualification of the Share
Exchange as a "reorganization" will be subject to certain assumptions and
qualifications and will be based on the truth and accuracy of certain
representations made by Spire, Spire Systems, the Company and the Spire
Stockholders.

Even if the Share Exchange qualifies as a "reorganization," a recipient of
shares of Amacan Common Stock would recognize gain to the extent that such
shares were considered to be received in exchange for services or property
(other than solely for shares of Spire Common Stock or Spire Systems Common
Stock). All or a portion of such gain may be taxable as ordinary income. In
addition, gain would have to be recognized to the extent that

<PAGE>

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

a Spire Stockholder was treated as receiving (directly or indirectly)
consideration other than shares of Amacan Common Stock in exchange for his or
her shares of Spire Common Stock or Spire Systems Common Stock.

A successful IRS challenge to the "reorganization" status of the Share
Exchange would result in the Spire Stockholders recognizing gain or loss with
respect to each share of Spire Common Stock or Spire Systems Common Stock
surrendered equal to the difference between the holder's basis in such
surrendered share and the fair market value, as of the Effective Time, of the
share of Amacan Common Stock received in exchange therefor. In such event, a
stockholder's aggregate basis in the Amacan Common Stock so received would equal
its fair market value and the stockholder's holding period for such stock would
begin the day after the Share Exchange.

The Exchange Agreement also provides that the Company will substitute
options to purchase shares of Amacan Common Stock for each and every outstanding
employee stock option for shares of Spire Common Stock issued pursuant to the
Spire Option Plan. See "THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT -- Stock Option Plans."

THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

The following information with respect to the Exchange Agreement is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Exchange
Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit
A and incorporated by reference herein.

EFFECTIVE DATE AND TIME OF THE SHARE EXCHANGE

The Share Exchange will become effective upon confirmation of the filing of
the Articles of Exchange with the Division of Corporations. The Articles of
Exchange are expected to be filed as soon as practicable after the satisfaction
or waiver of each of the conditions to consummation of the Share Exchange, which
is expected to occur as soon as practicable following receipt of stockholder
approval at the Special Meeting. See " -- Conditions to the Share Exchange" and
" -- Termination."

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Under the Exchange Agreement, the Company, the Spire Companies and the
Spire Stockholders have made a number of representations and warranties which
are customary for transactions of this nature. The Company has represented and
warranted, among other things, as to its due organization, its possession of the
authority necessary to enter into the Exchange Agreement and consummate the
Share Exchange, its capitalization, its financial condition, its compliance with
governmental laws and regulations, the absence of material litigation, the
absence of defaults under material orders, judgments, agreements, licenses and
the like, and the absence of material adverse changes in the Company's business
since October 31, 1995. It is a condition to the obligations of the Spire
Companies to consummate the Share Exchange that the Company's representations
and warranties be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of
the execution of the Exchange Agreement and the Closing Date.

The Spire Companies have made similar representations and warranties as to
their due organization, their possession of the authority necessary to enter
into the Exchange Agreement and to consummate the Share Exchange, their
capitalization, their financial condition, their compliance with governmental
laws and regulations, the absence of material litigation, the absence of
defaults under material orders, judgments, agreements, licenses and the like,
and the absence of material adverse changes in their businesses since October
31, 1995. It is a condition of the obligations of the Company to consummate the
Share Exchange that the representations and warranties of the Spire Companies be
true and correct in all material respects as of the date of the execution of the
Exchange Agreement and the Closing Date.

The Spire Stockholders have made a series of representations and warranties
relating to their acquisition of the shares of Amacan Common Stock in the Share
Exchange. These representations and warranties are intended to assure the
Company of the suitability of the Amacan Common Stock for investment by the
Spire Stockholders, the ability of the Spire Stockholders to assess the risks
associated with the Share Exchange and the intentions of the

<PAGE>

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

Spire Stockholders to hold the shares of Amacan Common Stock to be obtained in
the Share Exchange for investment purposes, without a present view to distribute
such shares.

CONDITIONS TO THE SHARE EXCHANGE

The obligations of the Company, Spire and Spire Systems to consummate the
Share Exchange are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions
contained in Articles VII and VIII of the Exchange Agreement, including: (i)
approval and adoption of the Exchange Agreement and the Share Exchange by the
stockholders of the Company, Spire and Spire Systems; (ii) confirmation that
none of the stockholders of the Company, Spire or Spire Systems has elected to
exercise dissenters' rights under the Utah Act; (iii) receipt by the Company and
the Spire Companies of legal opinions from counsel to the other party in form
and substance customary for transactions such as the Share Exchange; and (iv)
other customary closing conditions, including without limitation, the
truthfulness and accuracy of the parties' respective representations and
warranties, the absence of any material adverse change in the business condition
of the respective parties, the confirmation that the consummation of the Share
Exchange and the transactions contemplated thereby will not violate any law or
regulation and will not result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance on the
respective properties of the Company, Spire and Spire Systems, the receipt of
all material third-party consents and approvals, and the absence of any
litigation which would have a material adverse effect on the business condition
of the respective parties.

CERTAIN COVENANTS

Under the Exchange Agreement, the Company and the Spire Companies have
agreed to carry on their respective businesses in the same manner as conducted
prior to the execution of the Exchange Agreement, to maintain existing or
comparable insurance coverages, to perform their obligations under material
contracts, leases and instruments relating to their respective business
conditions and not to take certain actions (including changing their articles of
incorporation or bylaws, paying dividends, entering into material transactions,
modifying management compensation, incurring indebtedness, selling or disposing
of certain assets and similar actions) without the prior written approval of the
other parties. The Company and the Spire Companies have also agreed to take
other customary actions to facilitate the consummation of the Share Exchange.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

Under the Share Exchange, the Company will substitute options (the
"Substitute Options") to purchase shares of Amacan Common Stock pursuant to the
Amacan Option Plan for each outstanding employee stock option to purchase shares
of Spire Common Stock issued pursuant to the Spire Option Plan (a "Spire
Option") and will reserve for issuance upon the exercise of such Substitute
Options not less than 650,000 shares of Amacan Common Stock. Each Substitute
Option will provide former Spire Option holders the right to purchase an
aggregate of 35.4786 shares of Amacan Common Stock for each share of Spire
Common Stock subject to the Spire Option prior to the consummation of the Share
Exchange. Each Substitute Option shall continue to be outstanding on the same
terms and conditions as a Spire Option, except that (i) it will be exercisable
for a number of whole shares of Amacan Common Stock equal to the number of
shares of Spire Common Stock subject to such Spire Option immediately prior to
the Closing, multiplied by the exchange ratio set forth above, and rounded to
the nearest whole number, and (ii) the per share exercise price for shares of
Amacan Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of a Substitute Option will be
equal to the per share exercise price under the corresponding Spire Option
divided by the exchange ratio, and rounded to the nearest whole cent. The
exchange of Substitute Options for Spire Options, as described above, will occur
automatically at the Effective Time without further action on the part of the
holders of Spire Options. The right to receive a Substitute Option may not be
assigned or transferred in any manner except by operation of law, by will or by
the laws of descent. Any attempt to assign or transfer a Substitute Option
shall be void and of no force or effect.

To facilitate the substitution of the Substitute Options, among other
reasons, the Board has approved, and will submit to the stockholders of the
Company for approval at the Special Meeting, the Amacan Option Plan. If the
Share Exchange and the adoption of the Amacan Option Plan are approved by the
stockholders of the Company at the Special Meeting, the Company will exchange
the Substitute Options for the Spire Options and the holders of

<PAGE>

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

the Substitute Options will participate in the Amacan Option Plan. See
"ADOPTION OF AMACAN OPTION PLAN."

TERMINATION

The Exchange Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective
Time, whether before or after approval by the stockholders of the Company, (i)
by mutual agreement of the Company and the Spire Companies; (ii) by the Company,
Spire or Spire Systems, if the Share Exchange shall not have been consummated on
or before April 15, 1996 or such later date as approved by the Company and the
Spire Companies; (iii) by the Company if Spire or Spire Systems shall fail to
comply in any material respect with any covenant or agreement contained in the
Exchange Agreement or if any of the representations or warranties of Spire or
Spire Systems shall be inaccurate in any material respect; and (iv) by the Spire
Companies if the Company shall fail to comply in any material respect with any
covenant or agreement contained in the Exchange Agreement or if any of the
representations or warranties of the Company shall be inaccurate in any material
respect. See " -- Conditions to the Share Exchange" and " -- Certain
Covenants."

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information provided in this Information
Statement, the following factors should be considered carefully in evaluating
the terms of the Exchange Agreement and the Share Exchange.

RELIANCE ON SUPPLIERS/TERMINATION OF AGREEMENTS

The Spire Companies are solely dependent on Digital Equipment Corporation
("Digital" or "DEC") and authorized distributors of Digital products for their
supply of hardware. In addition, the Spire Companies obtain and resell software
from various third-party vendors, many of whom are the Spire Companies' sole
source for such software. Over 70% of the combined revenues of the Spire
Companies are derived from products they obtain from three suppliers, Digital,
Novell, Inc. ("Novell") and Lotus Development Corporation ("Lotus"). If one of
the third-party vendors of such hardware or software products became
unavailable, the Spire Companies would be required to seek other sources for
alternative products. There can be no assurance that the Spire Companies would
be able to obtain competitive and alternate sources of supply for such products.
The failure of such suppliers to deliver such items on a timely basis, or the
requirement of the Spire Companies to obtain replacement products for
unavailable suppliers, could adversely affect the operating results of the Spire
Companies until alternative sources of supply, if any, could be arranged.
Should these suppliers select a different distribution channel or fail to renew
existing distribution agreements with the Spire Companies, the profitability and
ability of the Spire Companies to continue in business could be significantly
compromised.

These suppliers could fail to supply hardware or software to the Spire
Companies for many reasons, including but not limited to the following:

- The supplier could go out of business or sell its product line;
- The supplier could change its distribution methods and channels and
cancel agreements with third parties such as the Spire Companies or
otherwise fail to renew the agreement with the Spire Companies;
- The supplier could increase its product price to the Spire Companies
thereby adversely affecting profit margins for such products and the
desire of the Spire Companies to continue to represent such products;
or
- The Spire Companies could fail to meet performance quotas or other
standards contained in certain of their agreements with suppliers,
resulting in termination of the agreements.

Many of the agreements between the Spire Companies and third-party
suppliers are verbal agreements and have not been reduced to writing.

CHANGING MARKET

The market for computer products and services is continually changing. The
Spire Companies anticipate that the market for office automation products on
server applications will decrease as those functions move to desk-top computers.
Spire management has identified the markets for UNIX and Windows NT operating
systems as promising growth potential for the Spire Companies; however, such
potential is not yet proven and may not evolve or prove sufficiently profitable.
Spire management anticipates that there will be significant competition for
products in the Windows NT market, resulting in lower margins.

The market for computer products is competitive, evolving and subject to
rapid technological change. Many of the current and potential competitors of
the Spire Companies have longer operating histories, greater name recognition,
larger installed customer bases, and significantly greater financial, technical
and marketing resources than the Spire Companies.

The methods of competition in the computer products industry include
marketing, product performance, price, service, technology and compliance with
various industry standards, among others. It is possible for companies to be at
various times competitors, customers and collaborators of the Spire Companies in
different markets. There can be no assurance that additional products will not
be developed in competition with those sold by the Spire Companies. If
developed, such products may be more effective than those sold by the Spire
Companies. Although the Spire Companies continue to seek new products to
complement their existing product lines and, as necessary, to replace existing
products with newer and better products, there can be no assurance that the
Spire Companies will be able to do so.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL

The success of the Spire Companies depends, in large part, on their ability
to attract and retain highly-qualified scientific, technical, managerial and
marketing personnel. The Spire Companies have not entered into employment
agreements that require the services of their key personnel to remain with the
Spire Companies for any specified period of time. The loss of the current key
personnel of the Spire Companies could have a material adverse effect on the
Spire Companies. Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no
assurance that the Spire Companies will be able to attract and maintain all
personnel necessary for the development and operation of their business. The
loss of the services of key personnel or an inability to attract, retain and
motivate qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the
business, financial condition and results of operations of the Spire Companies.

MARKETING

The Spire Companies market their products and services through a direct
sales force of 30 persons operating from locations in Utah and North Carolina.
In addition, arrangements with third parties, including hardware manufacturers,
software developers, resellers and authorized distributors, are becoming an
increasingly important part of the Spire Companies' focus on providing solutions
to their customers and expanding distribution of their products and services
through indirect channels domestically and internationally. The loss of
services of certain of such third-party distributors or resellers could have a
material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of
operations of the Spire Companies.

COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS

The Spire Companies' business of selling hardware and software products
involves certain account collection risks. In the event a hardware purchaser
defaults on its payment obligation, the Spire Companies would file a credit
insurance claim; however, the insurer may deny coverage or otherwise fail to
pay. With respect to software sales, a customer who has ordered and received
software from the Spire Companies may fail to pay timely for the software, thus
creating a collection problem for the Spire Companies. In addition, a
distributor may default in timely payment of amounts owing to the Spire
Companies.

INTEGRATION OF OPERATIONS

Negotiation of the Exchange Agreement and the terms of the Share Exchange
has required significant management resources of the Company and the Spire
Companies. If consummated, the Share Exchange will require additional
management time and resources to integrate the operations of the three entities
and may disrupt the business operations of the combined company (including the
existing business and operations of the Spire Companies). The industry and
business of the Spire Companies are unrelated to the industry and business of
the Company. The current officers and directors of the Spire Companies have no
experience in the oil and gas industry and will depend heavily on outside
advisors with respect to decisions involving the Company's existing oil and gas
interests. The integration and consolidation of the operations of the Company
and the Spire Companies could have a material adverse effect on the operating
results of the combined companies for a period following the Share Exchange.
Furthermore, pursuant to provisions of the Code, the Company will be limited in
its ability to apply any carryforwards of pre-exchange net operating losses,
unused general business credits, corporate minimum tax credits or capital loss
carryovers against the post-exchange income of the Company from its non-oil and
gas operations.

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Spire Companies plan to evaluate opportunities for the license or
acquisition of additional software products as well as the possible acquisition
of, or development of strategic relations with, other companies who may have
products or distribution channels that are compatible with the business
objectives of the Spire Companies. In the event the Spire Companies elect to
pursue such opportunities, additional capital in the form of equity or debt will
likely be required. There can be no assurance that capital sought by the Spire
Companies to pursue such opportunities can be obtained on terms favorable to the
Spire Companies, if at all. The failure of the Spire Companies to obtain such
financing could restrict their ability to pursue the business opportunities
described above.

DILUTION AND CONCENTRATION OF SHARE OWNERSHIP

Following the consummation of the Share Exchange, holders of Amacan Common
Stock prior to the Effective Time will hold approximately 10% of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of the post-exchange Company. This reduction of
proportionate share ownership from 100% to approximately 10% represents a
significant and substantial reduction in the relative equity interests of the
pre-exchange holders of the Amacan Common Stock and their corresponding voting
rights and rights with respect to the earnings and assets of the Company.
Furthermore, after the Effective Time, the Spire Stockholders will own
approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company. As
a result, the Spire Stockholders will possess effective voting power as a group
to elect all of the Company's directors, to approve or veto matters requiring
stockholder approval and to control the management and affairs of the Company.
Such concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control or management of the Company. See "THE SHARE
EXCHANGE -- Exchange of Shares," "MANAGEMENT OF THE SPIRE COMPANIES -- Executive
Officers, Key Employees and Directors" and "VOTING SECURITIES OF THE SPIRE
COMPANIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF."

AMACAN COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDEND POLICY

The Amacan Common Stock is traded in the United States over-the-counter
market maintained by the NASD under the symbol "ANRP." From May 1, 1995 through
the date of this Information Statement, the high and low bid prices for the
Amacan Common Stock in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the National
Quotation Bureau, Inc. (the "NQB"), have been $____ and $____, respectively. On
January 23, 1996 the last day prior to the public announcement of the proposed
Share Exchange, the high and low bid prices for the Amacan Common Stock, as
reported by NQB, were $.10 and $.03125, respectively. These prices reflect
interdealer quotations without retail markup, markdown or commissions and do not
necessarily represent actual transactions.

On the Record Date, the Company had 2,723,714 shares of Amacan Common Stock
outstanding, held by approximately 387 holders of record (including brokers and
nominees holding shares of Amacan Common Stock for multiple customers).
Approximately 1,202,500 of the 2,723,714 shares of Amacan Common Stock issued
and outstanding as of the Record Date are "restricted securities," as that term
is defined under Rule 144. All of the restricted shares are currently eligible
for sale in reliance upon Rule 144, subject to certain volume and resale
restrictions.

The Share Exchange will not change the rights of the existing holders of
shares of Amacan Common Stock, except by diminishing their percentage equity
interest in the Company. Based solely on the number of shares of Amacan Common
Stock and the number of shares of Spire Common Stock and Spire Systems Common
Stock outstanding prior to the Share Exchange, and assuming no exercise of
options for, or conversion of securities into, Amacan Common Stock, Spire Common
Stock or Spire Systems Common Stock, the Company will have approximately
3,891,000 shares of Amacan Common Stock outstanding after the Share Exchange.

SPIRE AND SPIRE SYSTEMS COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDEND POLICY

Shares of the Spire Common Stock and Spire Systems Common Stock are not
publicly traded and no public market exists therefor. As of January 23, 1996,
there were 87,386 shares of Spire Common Stock outstanding, held by six holders
of record and 100,000 shares of Spire Systems Common Stock outstanding, held by
five holders of record.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements show
the acquisition by the Company of all the outstanding shares of the common stock
of the Spire Companies as contemplated under the Exchange Agreement. The
following statements have been prepared using the historical financial
statements of the Company, and the historical financial statements of the Spire
Companies, and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements and related notes of the Company and the Combined Financial
Statements and related notes of the Spire Companies attached hereto as Exhibits
B and C, respectively. The pro forma financial information reflects the
adjustments that will result from the Share Exchange as if it had occurred as of
the beginning of the periods presented with respect to pro forma statements of
operations data and as of the balance sheet date with respect to pro forma
balance sheet data. The pro forma financial data is provided for analysis
purposes only and does not purport to indicate the results which actually would
have been obtained if the Share Exchange had been effected on the dates
indicated, or of the results which may be obtained in the future.

Because the Spire Stockholders will hold the controlling interest in the
combined entity, the Share Exchange is shown as a reverse acquisition in which
the Spire Companies acquire the Company.

The pro forma financial information is based on the purchase method of
accounting for the Share Exchange. The pro forma adjustments are described in
the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of
income combine the results for the nine months ended January 31, 1996, and for
the year ended April 30, 1995. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
balance sheets show the combined positions as of January 31, 1996.

NOTES TO AMACAN AND SPIRE COMPANIES
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. The pro forma combined common stock as of January 31, 1996 is adjusted to
reflect the recapitalization through the Amacan one-for-seven reverse stock
split, resulting in 389,102 Amacan common shares outstanding [2,723,714
SHARES X .142857] with par value remaining at $0.25 and the subsequent
issuance of 3,501,883 shares of Amacan common stock in exchange for all
issued shares of the Spire common stock and Spire Systems common stock.
This results in an increase in common stock of $289,817 as follows:

------------
Less balance of common stock issued prior to
merger $ 682,929
------------

------------
</TABLE>

Additional paid-in capital is reduced by the $289,817 resulting in negative
additional paid-in capital of $127,113 which is charged to retained
earnings to eliminate the negative balance.

2. The Spire Companies' treasury stock in the amount of $126,140 is cancelled
in connection with the merger and is charged to retained earnings because
there is no remaining additional paid-in capital.

3. Because the estimated fair market value of the Amacan common stock at the
date the Exchange Agreement was signed and announced to the public (based
on the number of shares of Amacan common stock outstanding 2,723,714
multiplied by the average of the bid and ask price $.07 of the common stock
on that date), is less than the recorded value of its current assets, net
of total liabilities, the Company's interest in oil and gas properties, and
equipment of $224,213 as of January 31, 1996, has been reduced to zero,
with an offset to retained earnings. Related historical amortization and
depreciation for each period has been eliminated in the pro forma condensed
combined income statements.

The net adjustment to retained earnings is summarized as follows:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NINE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31,
1995

During the nine months ended January 31, 1996, the Company reported a net
loss of $55,201 compared with a net loss of $2,854 for the comparable nine
months of 1995.

REVENUES. Oil and gas revenues decreased from $142,944 to $108,850,
primarily because of decreased production of the oil and gas reserves in which
the Company holds an interest. Interest income increased from $14,922 to
$17,434, due to increased principal amounts for investments in certificates of
deposit.

COSTS AND EXPENSES. Depreciation and depletion decreased from $38,091 to
$28,071, because of decreased production of the Company's oil and gas reserves
on which depreciation and depletion cost is based. Operating costs did not
materially differ from the comparable nine months of 1995. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased during the nine months ended January 31, 1996
from $78,101 to $109,498 primarily due to increased professional and accounting
fees incurred in connection with the Share Exchange compared with the same
period of 1995.

FISCAL 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1994

Revenues from the Company's participation in oil and gas production
decreased in fiscal 1995 compared to fiscal 1994 reflecting a decrease in
production of both oil and gas. The Company incurred a net loss of $11,382 in
1995 compared to a net loss of $51,816 in fiscal 1994. In addition to the
decrease in oil and gas production, the Company's results of operations in 1995
were adversely affected by a writeoff of its interest in a limited partnership
amounting to $15,333. The loss in fiscal 1994 was attributable to a decline in
oil prices and to increases in production costs and in general and
administrative expenses relating to a modification to a deferred compensation
agreement for the Company's retiring President.

In May 1994, Russell G. Holley retired as President of the Company and Tad
M. Ballantyne was appointed as President. The Board instructed Mr. Ballantyne,
whose background is in acquisitions and management of manufacturing companies,
to seek out and evaluate business opportunities which would allow the Company to
diversify its business. The Exchange Agreement and the Share Exchange are the
result of the Board's efforts in actively seeking and evaluating such
opportunities on behalf of the Company. Apart from the Exchange Agreement and
the Share Exchange, there are presently no arrangements, understandings,
commitments or agreements for the Company to engage in any new business.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's liquidity is provided by revenue from participation in oil
and gas operations, and historically by long-term debt provided by bank loans,
and issues of capital stock. The Company has during the nine months ended
January 31, 1996 been able to generate sufficient cash to pay for its share of
expenses associated with production of the Company's interest in oil and gas
reserves.

The Company anticipates that its oil and gas operations during the 1996
fiscal year can be adequately financed through its share of revenues from such
operations. The Company has actively sought to diversify its business and has
evaluated opportunities unrelated to oil and gas production. The Company's
negotiation of the Share Exchange and execution of the Exchange Agreement
resulted from the Company's pursuit of such opportunities. The Company has no
long term commitments for capital expenditures.

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE SPIRE COMPANIES

OVERVIEW

The Spire Companies resell Digital's network computer systems and
components on a value added basis, develop and sell office automation software
products, act as "service and value added resellers" and distributors of
software developed by third parties and develop and implement client/server
solutions for open computing environments. The Spire Companies offer a wide
range of desktop, client/server and production systems and related components,
peripheral equipment, software and services used in a wide variety of
applications, industries and computing environments. The Spire Companies have
entered into strategic partner arrangements with Lotus and Novell, Inc., two
major application software manufacturers, and DEC, a major hardware
manufacturer.

Historically, the Spire Companies have focused their efforts toward
marketing software products operating on the OpenVMS operating system that runs
on Digital's VAX systems. The Spire Companies are expanding their distribution
formula to include software products that operate in the growing UNIX operating
system marketplace and have recently started to market a third-party product
known in the industry as a "firewall," which is designed to protect an
organization's computer network from access by unauthorized users. The Spire
Companies have also recently expanded their services to include systems
configuration, and hardware and software sales in support of Digital's new 64-
bit Alpha computer platforms.

As part of the ongoing efforts of the Spire Companies to support their
customers' needs in the areas of training, support and system configuration, the
Spire Companies offer an annual maintenance agreement. This allows customer
access to the technical resources and support personnel at the Spire Companies,
including automatic product upgrades, "bug fixing" and system configuration
consulting.

During the past fiscal year, the combined revenues of the Spire Companies
from these various activities were broken down as follows:

<S> <C>
OpenVMS software sales 44% of revenues
System configuration and hardware sales 36% of revenues
Technical support and maintenance service 17% of revenues
UNIX platform software sales and access protection 3% of revenues

</TABLE>

Spire management expects that during 1996, revenues from the sale of UNIX
platform products, security products and management and performance product
lines will grow faster as a percentage of revenues than other products and
services offered by the Spire Companies. In particular, Spire management
believes the rate of revenue growth for office automation product sales will be
slower than in the past.

No single market sector represents a dominant portion of the Spire
Companies' revenues, with governmental and educational institutions representing
approximately 32% of combined revenues and small to large corporations
representing the remaining 68%. No single customer represents more than ten
percent of the combined revenues of the Spire Companies.

Like other "value added resellers" and distributors, the Spire Companies
rely on their vendors and suppliers of software and hardware products for their
ongoing product lines. Over 70 percent of the combined revenues of the Spire
Companies are derived from products they obtain from DEC, Novell and Lotus.
Should these suppliers select a different distribution channel or fail to renew
existing distribution agreements with the Spire Companies, the profitability and
ability of the Spire Companies to continue in business could be significantly
compromised. The Spire Companies are expanding their product lines in an effort
to reduce this risk; however, the business of the Spire Companies will continue
to be dependent on vendors' selection of this particular channel of distribution
for their product.

The Spire Companies sell their products through a direct sales force of 30
representatives in the United States, and through a number of third-party
distributors in Europe and Australia.

FISCAL 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1994

REVENUES. Revenues increased 60% from $6,043,411 for the year ended April
30, 1994 to $9,674,683 for the year ended April 30, 1995. The trend toward
increased revenues continued through the nine-month period ended January 31,
1996, with revenues of $10,572,463. This growth in revenues is primarily the
result of increases in volume of the Company's historic line of products, the
Company's expanded market presence and its entrance into the UNIX and Windows NT
software market niche. During the period ending April 30, 1995, the Company
expanded its direct sales force along with expanding its relationship with
additional third party distributors. The Company also expanded its product line
to include Network Management and Performance software tools which operate on
the UNIX and Windows NT operating systems platforms. Product pricing and sales
margins remained relatively stable during these periods. The Company is
continuing to expand its direct sales staff and its indirect distribution
channel.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 34% and 32% for
the years ended April 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively. For the nine-month
period ended January 31, 1996, gross profit as a percentage of revenues
increased to 38%. This increase resulted primarily from a larger volume of
products shipped spread over fixed costs which remained more constant and the
sales of the new lines of products which have better cost margins than the
historic product lines. There is no guarantee that gross operating margins can
be maintained at this level in the future. Competition in the Spire Companies'
industry remains very high and plays a significant role in determining the
margins that the Spire Companies are able to maintain.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased from 34% of revenues for the year ended April
30, 1994 to 30% of revenues for the year ended April 30, 1995. For the nine-
month period ended January 31, 1996, these expenses increased to 32% of
revenues. These changes resulted primarily from the timing of the Spire
Companies' sales staff expansion and the growth of the Spire Companies'
marketing budget, compared to the level of sales volume during any given period.
In November 1995, due principally to an increased number of product lines and an
expanding customer base, the Spire Companies began increasing the number of
internal direct sales personnel. In addition, the Spire Companies are currently
expanding their international channel of third-party distributors. This
expansion activity could increase future sales and marketing costs and decrease
margins.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Historically, the Spire Companies have incurred
nominal research and development costs. Spire management plans to add new
products and may begin to develop proprietary software products. These
development activities, along with ongoing efforts to upgrade the Spire
Companies' present line of products, are likely to result in increased research
and development expenses.

OTHER INCOME. Other income consists primarily of interest income and
interest expense. In addition, for the year ended April 30, 1995 other income
reflected receipt of a one-time consulting fee in the amount of $29,772.
Interest expense increased from $25,517 for the year ended April 30, 1994 to
$28,348 in the year ended April 30, 1995. This was due to short-term borrowings
relating to working capital funding needs. Interest expense for the nine-month
period ended January 31, 1996 was $16,418.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, the Spire Companies have financed their operations through
long-term debt, short-term borrowings and cash generated from operations.
During the years ended April 30, 1995 and 1994, the Spire Companies generated
cash from operating activities in the amounts of $434,910 and $214,209,
respectively. For the same years, net cash increased $272,787 and $124,753,
respectively. For the nine-month period ended January 31, 1996, the Spire
Companies generated cash from operations in the amount of $1,021,282 and their
net cash increased by $480,108.

Based on anticipated working capital requirements, Spire management
believes that existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from
operations, long-term debt financing and borrowings under the Spire Companies'
existing lines of credit will be sufficient to finance the operations of the
post-exchange Company through the foreseeable future.

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

GENERAL

The Company was incorporated in the State of Utah in May 1969 for the
purpose of mineral exploration and development. Since 1974, the Company has
been almost exclusively engaged as a participant with others in oil and gas
exploration and development. The Company's principal assets are working
interests in producing oil and gas wells and options or rights to participate in
the drilling of additional wells. The Company has participated almost
exclusively with an independent operator, Luff Exploration Company ("Luff") of
Denver, Colorado in its exploration activity. Kenneth D. Luff, the owner of
Luff, was appointed to the Company's Board of Directors on May 31, 1994.
Potential projects are evaluated by Luff and, in Luff's discretion, the Company
is offered the right to participate in a particular project; however, Amacan may
elect not to participate in any particular project.

Since 1974, the Company has participated with Luff in drilling a total of
122 wells, 31 of which are presently productive. The Company did not
participate with Luff in the drilling of any wells during the fiscal year ended
April 30, 1995. Nine additional productive wells were previously sold and 22
were abandoned when depleted. Of the 122 wells, 50 have been exploratory wells
and 72 have been developmental wells. Through its participation with Luff, the
Company has farmed out its interest for drilling by other companies, at their
expense, a total of 28 additional wells, one of which is presently productive.
Including this well, the Company presently has an interest in 31 productive oil
and gas wells.

The Company has one subsidiary, Amacan Industries, Inc. ("AII"), organized
during fiscal year 1991 to seek out and consider unrelated business
opportunities. In June 1992, AII made a $20,000 investment for a two percent
(2%) interest in a limited partnership organized under Illinois law to conduct
the business of accounts receivable recovery and financial consulting. The
Company's share of losses reported by the limited partnership for the 1995
fiscal year was $15,553. The Company's principal line of business is natural
resources exploration and development and income received by the Company during
the fiscal year ending April 30, 1995 was derived from production on oil and gas
properties.

The Company did not devote any of its time or resources to exploration or
development of properties outside of the United States during the 1995 fiscal
year and does not anticipate that any time or resources will be allocated to
properties outside of the United States in the future. The Company presently
has two employees. There are no pending material legal proceedings to which the
Company is a party.

COMPETITION AND MARKETS

The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive in all of its phases and
in the areas where the Company owns working interests in oil and gas wells. The
Company is not a competitive factor in the industry. Luff encounters strong
competition from major oil companies, other independent operators and other
companies, many of which have greater financial and technical resources and are
more experienced in the exploration for and production of oil and gas.

Independent producers currently market production of crude oil, condensate,
natural gas and natural gas liquids in the United States under contracts with
various oil companies and gas pipeline companies. The continued availability of
a ready market depends upon numerous factors beyond the control of the operator,
including crude oil imports, actions by oil producing nations, the availability
of adequate pipeline and other transportation facilities, the marketing of
competitive fuels and fluctuations in supply and demand.

REGULATION

The oil and gas industry is currently subject to extensive regulation by
both federal and state authorities. Most states have regulations pertaining to
the spacing of wells, prevention of waste, limitation of rates of production,
proration of production, prevention and cleanup of pollution, and similar
matters in addition to the environmental and federal price regulations discussed
below. The marketing of oil and gas including the construction of

<PAGE>

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

production, storage handling or transmission facilities, also has been and
could be delayed pending government approval.

The Company's operations are significantly affected by the impact of
federal income tax laws. Such laws can affect the Company directly and can also
adversely affect the operator's ability to secure drilling funds if changes in
such laws should eliminate or reduce federal income tax incentives. Of
particular importance are provisions of the Code which permit the owner of an
economic interest in oil and gas to deduct from the income realized from each
property an amount based on the greater of cost or percentage depletion, subject
to certain limitations. If cost depletion is utilized, the taxpayer is entitled
to recover its capitalized cost in the property over its productive life. For
production after 1984, percentage depletion at a rate of 15% of gross revenues,
not to exceed 50% of the taxable income attributable thereto, is still available
under the independent producer exemption, for which the Company qualifies, for
production of up to 1,000 barrels of domestic crude oil (or natural gas
equivalent) per day. Percentage depletion is not limited to the owner's basis
in the property.

There are numerous federal laws and regulations controlling the discharge
of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of
the environment, to which the oil and gas drilling and recovery operations in
which the Company participates are subject and which increase the cost of
exploring for, developing or producing oil and gas.

OPERATING RISKS; INSURANCE

The oil and gas operations in which the Company participates are subject to
all the risks normally incident to drilling for and producing oil and gas,
including blowouts and fires, which could result in damage to, or destruction
of, oil and gas wells or production facilities and loss of life and property.
Operators are not typically insured against all of these risks either because
insurance is not available or because operators have elected not to insure due
to prohibitive premium costs. The occurrence of an uninsured event or of an
event only partially insured could result in substantial losses to an operator
and severely impair its ability to continue operations.

Pollution or discharge of materials into the environment which might be
caused by an operator's drilling or producing operations could result in
liabilities to third parties, or restrictions on the activities in which the
Company participates, or both.

PROPERTIES

The Company owns a working interest in each oil and gas drill site for
which it has paid a percentage of the costs of drilling and, where warranted, a
percentage of the costs of completion of a well. The Company's working interest
results in a "net revenue interest", which is computed as a percentage of income
BEFORE the expenses of drilling and completion are recovered (before payout) and
a lesser revenue interest AFTER such costs have been recovered (after payout).
The Company's after-payout working interest in the wells varies from a low of
1.641% to a high of 10.9999%. In addition to these revenue interests, the
Company, through participation in certain of the drill sites, has earned the
right to participate in income from any additional wells that may be drilled.
Alternatively, the Company may become entitled to an income interest in certain
wells completed by unrelated third parties on acreage in which the Company has
an interest under "farm-out" agreements which entitle said third parties to an
agreed amount of production from such wells before the Company receives its
income interest. The income interest would be less than the interest which
would be earned if the Company had shared in the costs of drilling and
completion.

RESERVES. An estimate, as of April 30, 1995, of proved developed producing
reserves underlying oil and gas wells in which the Company has an interest (all
of which are located in the United States), is as follows:

<TABLE>

There are no estimates of proved developed nonproducing reserves or proved
undeveloped reserves in connection with these properties. These reserve
estimates were prepared by petroleum engineers employed by Luff. No estimates
of such reserves are filed with or included in reports by the Company to any
other federal authority or agency.

PRODUCTION. All production has been from wells located in the continental
United States. Net oil and gas production for oil in barrels and gas in MCF for
each of the last five years, representing the Company's interest in oil and gas
wells and the average cost of production per equivalent barrels for each of the
past five years, is as follows:

</TABLE>

The foregoing tables include only the acreage underlying drill sites which
are currently held by production. As stated, the Company has, in connection
with drilling a number of wells, earned an interest in additional acreage which
may be the subject of drilling in the future. The Company does not expect to
maintain its interest in such acreage, however, except through drilling of
additional wells with Luff or through farm-out or nonconsent arrangements as
determined by Luff.

TITLE TO PROPERTIES. As is customary in the oil and gas industry, Luff
conducts a title examination at the time oil and gas exploration leases are
acquired. The oil and gas properties in which the Company participates are
subject to royalty, overriding royalty and other interests which are customary
in the industry, liens incident to operating agreements, current taxes and other
burdens, minor encumbrances, easements and restrictions.

BUSINESS OF THE SPIRE COMPANIES

Spire, a Utah corporation founded in 1986, and Spire Systems, a Utah
corporation founded in 1992, resell DEC network computer systems and components
on a value added basis, develop and sell office automation software products,
act as "service and value added resellers" and distributors of software
developed by third parties and develop and implement client/server solutions for
open computing environments. The Spire Companies offer a wide range of desktop,
client/server and production systems and related components, peripheral
equipment, software and services used in a wide variety of applications,
industries and computing environments. The Spire Companies have entered into
strategic partner arrangements with Lotus, Novell and DEC.

BACKGROUND

The original computers were large, mainframe pieces of equipment that
required vast amounts of space, energy and capital investment. Technological
advances have allowed computers to become increasingly smaller, faster and less
costly. Although there continue to be many applications requiring mainframe
computers for large organizations, the largest segment of the computing market
needs mid-range computing equipment for government, education and business
sites, and smaller, consumer-oriented equipment, including personal computers.

Many different approaches were developed by numerous emerging manufacturers
to create a set of operating instructions to allow the computer hardware to
operate properly. In the personal computer market, these well-recognized
"operating systems" or "platforms" include MicroSoft Corporation's MS-DOS (and
related Windows and Windows 95) products, IBM's OS/2, and the proprietary
operating system developed for Apple's Macintosh. Other operating systems
include DEC's VMS and OpenVMS operating systems, the UNIX operating system which
has been separately developed by many different manufacturers, and the new
Microsoft Windows NT.

Computer application software, such as wordprocessors, spreadsheets and
other types of programs designed for use on one operating system do not operate
on another platform without making extensive and often costly modifications.

As a result of the complexity of various hardware and software systems, as
well as the changing needs of buyers of such products, the Spire Companies were
formed to serve the role of an "integrator" of these various components,
principally for the needs of mid-range users in government, education, and
business. The Spire Companies have reviewed the hardware and software being
offered by current manufacturers, compared the various competing products, and
elected to represent and sell those hardware and software systems that the Spire
Companies consider to be the finest products available on a stand-alone basis,
but which are also capable of being integrated with the other software and
hardware product needs of Spire customers. Accordingly, the Spire Companies are
principally a sales and technical support organization for third-party products
which Spire employees have tested and used in a variety of applications and, if
necessary, adapted for cross-operating system operation so that the entire
computing needs of Spire customers can be well served by the best products that
work well together.

the Spire Companies now market these software solutions for the OpenVMS
operating platform. The Spire Companies also market these office automation
products developed by third parties for UNIX, MS-DOS and Windows 95 operating
platforms. Because of the wide variety of computing platforms used today in
many organizations, the ability of the Spire Companies to offer powerful office
tools which provide cross-platform compatibility and user familiarity is

COMPETITION

The information technology industry is highly competitive, international in
scope, and comprised of many companies. The methods of competition include
marketing, product performance, price, service, technology and compliance with
various industry standards, among others. Present and potential competition in
the various markets served by the Spire Companies comes from firms of various
sizes and types, many of which are larger and have greater resources than the
Spire Companies. Firms not now in direct competition with the Spire Companies
may introduce competing products in the future. It is possible for companies to
be at various times competitors, customers and collaborators in different
markets.

MATERIALS

The Spire Companies are solely dependent on Digital and authorized
distributors of Digital products for their supply of hardware. In addition, the
Spire Companies obtain software from numerous third-party vendors, many of which
are the sole source for such software. The Spire Companies then incorporate the
various hardware, peripheral and software components into an integrated system
for installation at their customers' locations. If one of the third-party
vendors of either hardware or software were to become unavailable to the Spire
Companies, Spire management believes that it would be able to obtain competing
and alternate sources of supply of similar but not identical products. The
failure of such suppliers to deliver such items on a timely basis could
adversely effect the operating results of the Spire Companies until alternative
sources of supply could be arranged. Also, if any of the license agreements
relative to the office automation products developed by the Spire Companies were
to be terminated, the operating results of the Spire Companies could also be
adversely effected.

SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

Although the Spire Companies sell to many customers involved in certain
industries (e.g. government and education) which, if aggregated together, would
result in sales to a particular industry of more than 10%, no single customer
represents sales by the Spire Companies in the aggregate amount of 10% or more
of the consolidated revenues of the Spire Companies. Accordingly, Spire
management believes that the loss of any single customer would not have a
material adverse effect on the Spire Companies taken as a whole.

PATENTS

The Spire Companies do not own any patents nor do they have any patent
applications relating to their products. The Spire Companies have a limited
number of copyrights and have obtained licenses to create derivative works
relative to copyrights owned by third parties. The ownership of such derivative
works vests in the licensor. The Spire Companies are also seeking tradename and
trademark protection for certain of their names and marks. Accordingly, Spire
management does not believe that any particular patent or group of patents,
copyrights, trademarks, or tradenames is of material importance to the business
of the Spire Companies as a whole.

RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING

The Spire Companies compete in an industry which is characterized by rapid
technological change. In the nine-month period ended January 31, 1996 and the
fiscal years ended April 30, 1995 and 1994, the Spire Companies incurred
insignificant expenses for research and development. Spire management
anticipates that it will begin investing in research and development during the
1996 calendar year to maintain and strengthen its competitive position. Spire
management does not anticipate that research and development expense will exceed
three percent of gross revenues for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1997.

EMPLOYEES

The Spire Companies had 50 full and part-time employees at December 31,
1995.

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

PROPERTY

The headquarters and research and development facilities of the Spire
Companies are located at 311 N. State, Orem, Utah. The Spire Companies own a
5200 square foot building, subject to encumbrances of approximately $123,000
and $102,000 at January 31, 1996, which bear interest at rate of 8.25% and
8.70%, respectively. In addition, the Spire Companies occupy 7500 square feet
of contiguous space under a one year lease subject to an option to extend the
term for an additional five extensions of one year each. The monthly base rent
is $5,500 subject to adjustment during the renewal periods. Spire management
believes these contiguous facilities are suitable and adequate to meet the
anticipated needs of the Spire Companies for the current fiscal year. Spire
management anticipates that continued growth of the Spire Companies will
necessitate acquisition of additional office space in the future.

authorize the issuance of eight million (8,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par
value $.25 per share. Except as otherwise required by law, each share of Amacan

preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or
sinking fund provisions applicable thereto. Shares of Amacan Common Stock are
entitled to share equally and ratably in dividends paid from the funds legally

officer acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company and, in the case of a
criminal proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her
conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that no indemnification may be given a
director or officer where the claim or liability arose out of that person's own
negligence or willful misconduct, or if such person is ultimately adjudged in
the proceeding to be liable to the Company or liable on the basis that he or she
derived an improper personal benefit. The Bylaws and the Utah Act further
provide that such indemnification is not exclusive of any other rights to which
such individuals may be entitled under the Articles, the Company's Bylaws, any

ADOPTION OF AMACAN OPTION PLAN

GENERAL

The Amacan Resources Corporation Stock Amacan Option Plan (the "Amacan
Option Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company effective
January 31, 1996. The following description of the Amacan Option Plan does not
purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of the Amacan Option Plan.

DESCRIPTION OF THE AMACAN OPTION PLAN

PURPOSE. The purpose of the Amacan Option Plan is to promote the long-term
success of the Company and the creation of incremental stockholder value by (a)
encouraging directors and key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to
focus on critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and
retention of key employees with exceptional qualifications, and (c) linking the
interests of key employees of the Company directly to stockholder interests
through increased stock ownership.

ADMINISTRATION. The Amacan Option Plan is administered by a committee (the
"Committee") of the Board of Directors consisting of a sufficient number of
disinterested members of the Board of Directors so as to qualify the Committee
to administer the Amacan Option Plan as contemplated by Rule 16b-3 promulgated
pursuant to the Exchange Act. The Committee will select the directors and
employees who are to receive awards under the Amacan Option Plan, determine the
amount, vesting requirements and other conditions of such awards, interpret the
Amacan Option Plan, execute agreements setting forth the terms of such awards
(each, a "Stock Award Agreement") and make all other decisions relating to the
operation of the Amacan Option Plan.

DURATION OF THE AMACAN OPTION PLAN. The Amacan Option Plan became
effective on March 1, 1996, subject to receipt of stockholders approval, and
will remain in effect until terminated by the Board of Directors, except that no
Incentive Option (as defined below) may be granted under the Amacan Option Plan
after March 1, 2006. Notwithstanding the termination of the Amacan Option Plan,
the Amacan Option Plan will continue in effect after such termination for
purposes of the administration of any Amacan Option Plan award granted at the
effective date of the termination of the Amacan Option Plan.

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE AMACAN OPTION PLAN. The Amacan Option Plan provides
for the issuance of Incentive Stock Options (the "Incentive Options"), as that
term is defined in Section 422 of the Code, nonqualified stock options which are
not governed by the provisions of Section 422 of the Code ("Nonqualified
Options") for shares of Amacan Common Stock (the Incentive Options and the
Nonqualified Options may be referred to collectively as the "Options"), certain
corresponding stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted shares of Amacan
Common Stock ("Restricted Shares") and Stock Units (as defined below) or any
combination thereof (the various awards are referred to collectively as the
"Awards"). The maximum number of Options, Restricted Shares and Stock Units
that may be awarded under the Amacan Option Plan is currently 1,000,000., and
the maximum number of Options, Restricted Shares and Stock Units that may be
awarded to a single participant in any calendar year is 200,000. If any
Options, Restricted Shares or Stock Units are forfeited or if any Option
terminates for any reason before being exercised, then such Options, Restricted
Shares or Stock Units will again become available for Awards under the Plan.
Notwithstanding the above, if any Options are surrendered because corresponding
SARs are exercised, such Options will not become available again for Awards
under the Amacan Option Plan. Any Amacan Common Stock issued pursuant to the
Amacan Option Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. On
January 23, 1996, the high and low bid prices of the Amacan Common Stock in the
over-the-counter market, as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, were $.10
and $.03125, respectively.

In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Amacan Common
Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in Amacan Common Stock, a declaration
of a dividend payable in a form other than Amacan Common Stock in an amount that
has a material effect on the price of the shares of Amacan Common Stock, a
combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Amacan Common Stock
(by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

number of shares of Amacan Common Stock, a recapitalization or similar
occurrence (the occurrence of each of which may be referred to as a "Capital
Change"), the Committee will make appropriate adjustments in the number of
Options, Restricted Shares and Stock Units available for future awards under the
Amacan Option Plan.

ELIGIBILITY. Awards may be granted only to directors of the Company and
employees of the Company and its subsidiaries that the Committee, in its sole
discretion, will determine to be key employees (the "Key Employees"). Members
of the Committee are not eligible to participate in the Amacan Option Plan.
Because the Committee will maintain complete discretion to determine the number
and selection of Key Employees eligible to participate in the Amacan Option
Plan, it is not possible to estimate accurately the number of persons who will
be eligible to participate therein. Nonetheless, because the Bylaws of the
Company provide that the Company shall have not less than three and not more
than nine directors and because at least two of the Company's directors must
serve on the Committee as disinterested directors pursuant to the Amacan Option
Plan, the number of persons eligible to participate in the Amacan Option Plan
may range from one non-Committee director to as many as seven non-Committee
directors and as many Key Employees as the Committee, in its discretion, may
determine.

OPTIONS. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant both Incentive
Options and Nonqualified Options from time to time. The Committee has complete
authority, subject to the terms of the Amacan Option Plan, to determine the
persons to whom and the time or times at which grants of Options will be made.
The Amacan Option Plan provides that the exercise price of Options, restrictions
upon the exercise of Options and restrictions on the transferability of shares
issued upon the exercise of Options, will be determined by the Committee in its
sole discretion, except that (i) the exercise price of any Incentive Option will
not be less than the fair market value of a share of Amacan Common Stock as of
the date of the grant and (ii) in the case of an Incentive Option granted to any
individual who, at the time that the Incentive Option is granted, owns more than
ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries (a "Restricted Stockholder"), the exercise
price of such Incentive Option will not be less than 110% of the fair market
value, determined pursuant to the Amacan Option Plan, of a share of Amacan
Common Stock as of the date on which the Option is granted. The Committee, in
its sole discretion, will determine the time or times when each Option vests and
becomes exercisable. The term of an Incentive Option, however, may not be more
than ten years from the date of grant and the term of any Incentive Option
granted to a Restricted Stockholder may not be more than five years from the
date of grant. During the lifetime of the employee receiving the Option (the
"Optionee"), the Option will be exercisable only by the Optionee and will not be
assignable or transferrable. Each Option will become exercisable in such
installments, at such time or times, and is subject to such conditions, as the
Committee, in its discretion, may determine at or before the time the Option is
granted. The Committee may provide for the accelerated exercisability of an
Option in the event of the death, disability or retirement of the Optionee.
Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, all Options will terminate ninety
days after the termination of the employment of an Optionee, unless the
Optionee's employment was terminated for cause, in which event the Options will
immediately terminate upon the termination of such Optionee's employment.

PAYMENT. The exercise price of Options granted under the Amacan Option
Plan will be payable at the time of exercise in cash or, in the discretion of
the Committee, in shares of Amacan Common Stock or other forms approved by the
Committee. In the case of an Incentive Option, payment will be made only
pursuant to the express provisions with regard to exercise that the Committee
determines to include in the applicable Stock Award Agreement. Any payment
method approved by the Committee must be consistent with applicable law,
regulations and rules as well as the terms and conditions of the Plan.

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. In connection with the grant of any Option, the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may also grant an SAR, which will relate to a
specific Option granted to the Optionee. Such SAR will entitle the Optionee to
surrender to the Company, unexercised, all or any part of that portion of the
Option which then is exercisable and to receive from the Company an amount equal
to the difference between the aggregate exercise price of the shares of Amacan
Common Stock subject to the Option and the fair market value, as determined
under the Amacan Option Plan, of such shares on the date of such exercise.
Payment by the Company of any amount owing pursuant to the exercise of an SAR
may be made in shares of Amacan Common Stock, cash, or any combination of cash
and shares, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. The
determination of the Committee to include an SAR in an Incentive Option may be
made only at the time of the grant of the Incentive Option. The

<PAGE>

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

Committee may include an SAR in a Nonqualified Option at the time of the grant,
and any time thereafter until six months before the expiration of the
Nonqualified Option.

An SAR may be exercised only to the extent the Option to which it is
applicable is exercisable and may not be exercised unless both the SAR and the
related Option have been outstanding for more than six months. If, on the date
an Option expires, the exercise price of the Option is less than the fair market
value of the shares of Amacan Common Stock on such date, then any SARs included
in such Option will automatically be deemed to be exercised as of such date with
respect to any portion of such Option that has not been exercised or
surrendered.

RESTRICTED SHARES. The Committee may grant shares of Amacan Common Stock
which are subject to vesting conditions as an Award under the Amacan Option Plan
(the "Restricted Shares"). The award of Restricted Shares may be made at any
time and for any year of the Amacan Option Plan. The Restricted Shares will
become vested, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions
specified in the Stock Award Agreement. The Committee will select the vesting
conditions, which may be based upon the recipient's service and/or performance,
the Company's performance, or such other criteria as the Committee may adopt.
The Stock Award Agreement may also provide for accelerated vesting in the event
of the recipient's death, disability or retirement. A recipient of Restricted
Shares, as a condition to the grant of such Restricted Shares, may be required
to pay the Company, in cash, an amount equal to the par value of the Restricted
Shares. The holders of Restricted Shares will have the same voting, dividend
and other rights as the Company's other stockholders.

STOCK UNITS. A Stock Unit is an unfunded and unsecured bookkeeping entry
representing the equivalent of one share of Amacan Common Stock which is subject
to certain vesting conditions (a "Stock Unit"). Holders of Stock Units have no
voting rights or other rights of a stockholder, but are entitled to receive
"Dividend Equivalents" in an amount equal to the amount of cash dividends paid
on the number of shares of Amacan Common Stock represented by the Stock Units
while the Stock Units are outstanding. Stock Units and corresponding Dividend
Equivalents will be settled at a time determined by the Committee and may be
paid, in the discretion of the Committee, in the form of cash, shares of Amacan
Common Stock or a combination thereof.

Stock Units may be awarded in combination with Restricted Shares or
Nonqualified Options, and the Committee may provide that the Stock Units will be
forfeited in the event that the related Nonqualified Options are exercised. No
cash consideration will be required for an award of a Stock Unit. The Committee
may grant Stock Units at anytime during the term of the Amacan Option Plan. The
Committee will, in its sole discretion, select the vesting conditions for each
award of a Stock Unit. The vesting conditions may be based upon the recipient's
service or performance, the Company's performance, or such other criteria that
the Committee may adopt.

AMENDMENTS TO AMACAN OPTION PLAN. The Board of Directors may, at any time
and for any reason, amend or terminate the Amacan Option Plan. Any amendment to
the Amacan Option Plan, however, will be subject to the approval of the
Company's stockholders to the extent required by applicable laws, regulations or
rules. No amendment, suspension or termination of the Amacan Option Plan will
affect an Award granted on or at the effective date of such amendment.

GENERAL PROVISIONS. Neither the Amacan Option Plan nor the grant of any
Award thereunder will be deemed to give any individual the right to remain
employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Amacan Option Plan will
not inhibit the Company's ability to terminate or modify the terms of the
employment of any employee at anytime, with or without cause. Participants in
the Amacan Option Plan will have no rights with respect to dividends, voting or
any other privileges accorded to the Company's stockholders at the issuance of
stock certificates for shares of Amacan Common Stock. Recipients of Options
under the Amacan Option Plan will have no obligation to exercise such Options.
Participants in the Amacan Option Plan will not have any rights or interest
under the Plan in any Option or shares of the Amacan Common Stock prior to the
grant of an Option, Restricted Share or Stock Unit to such participant.

NEW PLAN BENEFITS. Because the Committee will maintain complete discretion
to determine the number and selection of Key Employees, as well as the
recipients, number, type, vesting requirements and other terms of any Award
under the Amacan Option Plan, it is not possible to determine the benefits

<PAGE>

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

or amounts, if any, that will be received by or allocated to any person under
the Amacan Option Plan, nor is it possible to determine the benefits or amounts,
if any, that would have been received or allocated to any person during any
prior year if the Amacan Option Plan had been in effect.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following tax discussion is a brief summary of federal income tax law
applicable to the Amacan Option Plan. The discussion is intended solely for
general information and omits certain information which does not apply generally
to all participants in the Amacan Option Plan.

INITIAL GRANT OF OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. A recipient of
Options, whether Nonqualified Options or Incentive Options, or SARs incurs no
income tax liability, and the Company obtains no deduction, from the grant of
Options or SARs.

INCENTIVE OPTIONS. The holder of an Incentive Option will not be subject
to federal income tax upon the exercise of the Incentive Option, and the Company
will not be entitled to a tax deduction by reason of such exercise, provided
that the holder is still employed by the Company (or terminated employment no
longer than three months before the exercise date). Additional exceptions to
this exercise timing requirement apply upon the death or disability of the
Optionee. A sale of the shares of Amacan Common Stock received upon the
exercise of an Incentive Option which occurs both more than one year after the
exercise of the Incentive Option and more than two years after the grant of the
Incentive Option will result in the realization of long-term capital gain or
loss to the Optionee in the amount of the difference between the amount realized
on the sale and the exercise price for such shares. Generally, upon a sale or
disposition of the shares prior to the foregoing holding requirements (referred
to as a "disqualifying disposition"), the Optionee will recognize ordinary
compensation income, and the Company will receive a corresponding deduction,
equal to the lesser of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the shares on
the date of transfer to the Optionee over the exercise price, or (ii) the excess
of the amount realized on the disposition over the exercise price.

The excess of the fair market value of the shares of Amacan Common Stock at
the time of the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option over the Option price will
increase the Optionee's alternative minimum taxable income subject to the
alternative minimum tax, unless a subsequent disqualifying disposition occurs in
the same taxable year of the Optionee in which the Amacan Common Stock was
purchased.

NONQUALIFIED OPTIONS. Upon the exercise of a Nonqualified Option, the
amount by which the fair market value of the shares of Amacan Common Stock on
the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price will be taxed to the Optionee as
ordinary compensation income. The Company will generally be entitled to a
deduction in the same amount, provided it satisfies certain requirements
relating to the terms of the option and makes all required wage withholdings on
the compensation element attributable to the exercise. In general, the
Optionee's tax basis in the shares acquired by exercising a Nonqualified Option
is equal to the fair market value of such shares on the date of exercise. Upon
a subsequent sale of any such shares in a taxable transaction, the Optionee will
realize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between his or
her basis in the shares and the sale price.

RESTRICTED SHARES. The recipient of an award of Restricted Shares will be
required to recognize income in the first year that (i) the Restricted Shares
become transferable by the recipient, or (ii) the Restricted Shares are not
subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. The various vesting conditions
imposed upon the Restricted Shares in the applicable Stock Award Agreement will
determine if the Restricted Shares are subject to a substantial risk of
forfeiture. The amount of income that must be recognized in connection with a
grant of Restricted Shares will be equal to the difference between the fair
market value of the Restricted Shares in the year that income is recognized and
the value paid by the recipient for the Restricted Shares. The income
recognized will be taxed as ordinary income. The tax basis in the Restricted
Shares will be the value paid by the recipient plus any income recognized by the
recipient.

A recipient may elect to recognize income in the year he or she receives an
award of Restricted Shares even if the Restricted Shares are non-transferable
and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. The recipient will recognize
as income the difference between the fair market value of the Restricted Shares
and the value paid for such Restricted Shares. The tax basis in the Restricted
Shares will be the value paid by the recipient plus any

<PAGE>

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

income recognized by the recipient. By making such election, the recipient can
defer recognizing as income the increase in value of the Restricted Shares
during such period until the Restricted Shares are sold or transferred. Upon
the subsequent sale of any Restricted Shares in a taxable transaction, the
recipient will realize capital gain or loss (long-term or short-term, depending
on whether the Restricted Shares were held for more than twelve months before
the sale) in an amount equal to the difference between his or her basis in the
Restricted Shares and the sale price.

STOCK UNITS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. Upon the exercise of an SAR
and/or the payment of Stock Units and corresponding Dividend Equivalents, a
participant under the Amacan Option Plan will recognize ordinary compensation
income in the amount of both the cash and the fair market value of the shares of
Amacan Common Stock received upon the exercise of the SAR or the payment of the
Stock Unit and Dividend Equivalent, and generally the Company will be entitled
to a corresponding deduction. In the event the participant receives shares of
Amacan Common Stock upon the exercise of the SAR or the payment of the Stock
Unit or Dividend Equivalent, any shares so acquired will have a tax basis equal
to their fair market value on the date of such exercise or payment, and the
holding period of the shares will commence on the day following that date. Upon
a subsequent sale of such shares, the participant will recognize capital gain or
loss (long-term or short-term, depending on whether the shares were held for
more than twelve months before the sale) in an amount equal to the difference
between his or her basis in the shares and the sale price.

WITHHOLDING TAX OBLIGATIONS. To the extent required by applicable federal,
state, local or foreign law, the recipient of any payment or distribution under
the Amacan Option Plan will make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for
the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise by reason of such
payment or distribution. The Company will not be required to make such payment
or distribution until such obligations are satisfied. The Committee may permit
an Amacan Option Plan participant who exercises a Nonqualified Option to satisfy
all or part of his or her withholding tax obligation by having the Company
withhold a portion of the Amacan Common Stock that otherwise would be issued to
the participant under such Nonqualified Option.

APPROVAL OF AMACAN OPTION PLAN

Approval of the Amacan Option Plan requires the affirmative vote of a
majority of the shares of Amacan Common Stock represented at the Special Meeting
and entitled to vote.

CERTAIN INTERESTS OF DIRECTORS

In considering the recommendation of the Board of Directors with respect to
the Amacan Option Plan, stockholders should be aware that the members of the
Board of Directors have certain interests which may present them with conflicts
of interest in connection with such proposal. As discussed above, all
directors, except those who may be serving as members of the Committee, are
eligible to participate in the Amacan Option Plan. Nonetheless, the Exchange
Agreement provides that if the Share Exchange is consummated, all of the current
directors of the Company will resign and the Spire Stockholders will designate
five individuals, including one individual selected by the current Board of
Directors, to serve as directors of the Company. See "INTRODUCTION -- General."

The Board of Directors recognizes that adoption of the proposed amendment
to the Amacan Option Plan may benefit individual directors of the Company and
their successors, but it believes that approval of the Amacan Option Plan will
strengthen the Company's ability to continue to attract, motivate and retain
qualified employees, officers and directors. Furthermore, the Board of
Directors believes that approval of the Amacan Option Plan will advance the
interests of the Company and its stockholders by encouraging directors and Key
Employees to make significant contributions to the long-term success of the
Company. The Board of Directors believes that the Amacan Option Plan is in the
best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and therefore, unanimously
recommends a vote FOR the proposal to approve the Amacan Option Plan. In
considering the foregoing recommendation of the Board of Directors, stockholders
should be aware that the current members of the Board of Directors own, in the
aggregate, approximately 34% of the shares of the Amacan Common Stock
outstanding as of January 23, 1996. See "VOTING SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY AND
PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF."

<PAGE>

Common Stock. The other provisions set forth in this Agreement contemplate the
completion of such stock split and assume that such stock split is effective on
the date of execution hereof. The exchange ratios set forth in Section 3.01(b)

Amacan Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of
shares of Spire Common Stock subject to such Spire Option immediately prior to
the Closing by the Spire Exchange Ratio and rounded down to the nearest whole
number and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Amacan Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of an Assumed Option shall be determined by

hundredth of a cent. The right to receive any Assumed Option may not be
assigned or transferred in any manner except by operation of law, by will or by

described in the Amacan Schedules pursuant to this Section 5.11 is valid and
binding on Amacan and is in full force and effect, and, except as otherwise

none of the Amacan SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or

that are legally required to enable it to conduct its business in all material
respects as conducted on the date hereof or as presently foreseeable in
connection therewith. To the knowledge of Amacan, the execution and delivery of
this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby will not, conflict with or result in any violation of any material
statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order, decree or ordinance applicable

properties or assets of Amacan pursuant to (i) any provision of the Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws of Amacan or (ii) except as completely and accurately

to which Amacan is a party or by which any of its properties or assets may be
bound or affected. To the knowledge of Amacan, no consent, approval, order or
authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental
Authority is required by or with respect to Amacan in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by Amacan or the consummation by Amacan
of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except for (x) the
preparation and distribution to the stockholders of Amacan of an information

Section 5.14 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS. Except as set forth
in the Amacan Schedules and to the best of its knowledge, Amacan has complied
with all applicable statutes and regulations of any Governmental Authority,
except to the extent that noncompliance would not materially and adversely
affect the Business Condition of Amacan or except to the extent that
noncompliance would not result in the incurrence of any material liability for
Amacan. To the knowledge of Amacan, there are no material judgments or orders,
injunctions, decrees, stipulations or awards (whether rendered by a court or
administrative agency or by arbitration) against Amacan or any of its
properties. Included in the Amacan Schedules is a copy of each letter of
inquiry, review or investigation or other writing from or to any Governmental
Authority evidencing a violation or possible or alleged violation of any of the
foregoing.

Section 5.15 INSURANCE. Included in the Amacan Schedules is a complete
list of all insurance policies which Amacan maintains respecting its services,
business, properties and employees. Such policies are in full force and effect
and are free from any right of termination by the insurance carriers. All
premiums payable under all such policies have been paid and Amacan is otherwise
in full compliance with the terms of such policies. Except as set forth in the
Amacan Schedules, all of the insurable properties of Amacan are insured for its
benefit in the amount of their full replacement value (subject to reasonable
deductibles) against losses due to fire and other casualty, with extended
coverage and coverage against other risks customarily insured against by persons
operating similar properties in the localities where such properties are
located, and under valid and enforceable policies issued by insurers of
recognized responsibility. Such policies will be outstanding and in full force
at the Closing Date. Included in the Amacan Schedules ia a complete and an
accurate list of all insurance policies carried by Amacan, showing for each type
of coverage the policy limits, principal exclusions, deductibles and insurer.
Amacan does not know of any threatened termination of, or material premium
increase with respect to, any of such policies.

Section 5.16 TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. Set forth in the Amacan
Schedules is a description of every material contract, agreement or arrangement
between Amacan and any person who is or has ever been an officer or director of
Amacan or person owning of record, or known by Amacan to own beneficially, five
percent or more of the issued and outstanding Amacan Common Stock and which is
to be performed in whole or in part after the date hereof or was entered into
within three years before the

<PAGE>

date hereof. In all such circumstances, the contract, agreement or arrangement
was for a bona fide business purpose of Amacan and the amount paid or received,
whether in cash, in services, or in kind, is, has been during the full term
thereof, and is required to be during the unexpired portion of the term thereof,
no less favorable to Amacan than terms available from otherwise unrelated
parties in arm's length transactions. The Amacan Schedules also include a
description of any commitment by Amacan, whether written or oral, to lend any
funds to, borrow any money from, or enter into any other material transaction
with, any Affiliate of Amacan.

Section 5.17 MINUTE BOOK. The minute book of Amacan contains, and will
contain at the Closing Date, evidence of the due election and incumbency of the

subject to (and none of its assets or properties is bound by or subject to) any
written or oral, express or implied, contract, commitment or arrangement with
any labor union, and no labor union has requested or, to the knowledge of
Amacan, has sought to represent any of the employees, representatives, or agents
of Amacan. There is no strike or other labor dispute involving Amacan pending,
or to the knowledge of Amacan threatened, which could have a material adverse
effect on the Business Condition of Amacan (as such business is presently
conducted and as it is proposed to be conducted), nor is Amacan aware of any
labor organization activity involving its employees. Amacan is not aware that
any officer or key employee, or that any group of key employees, intends to
terminate their employment with Amacan, nor does Amacan have a present intention
to terminate the employment of any of the foregoing. The employment of each
officer and employee of Amacan is terminable at the will of Amacan.

Section 5.19 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Amacan owns, or is licensed or
otherwise entitled to use, all patents, trademarks, trade names, service marks,
copyrights and any applications therefor, maskworks, net lists, schematics,
technology, know-how, computer software programs or applications and tangible or
intangible proprietary information or materials that in any material respect are
used or currently proposed to be used in the business of Amacan as currently
conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted by Amacan (the "AMACAN
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS"). The Amacan Schedules list all patents,
trademarks, registered and material unregistered copyrights, trade names and
service marks, and any applications therefor, included in the Amacan
Intellectual Property Rights. Amacan is not, nor as a result of the execution
and delivery of this Agreement or the performance of Amacan's obligations
hereunder will be, in violation of any license, sublicense or agreement which is
material to the Business Condition of Amacan. Except as set forth in the Amacan
Schedules, no claims with respect to the Amacan Intellectual Property Rights
have been asserted or, to the knowledge of Amacan, are threatened by any Person,
nor does Amacan know of any valid grounds for any bona fide claim (i) to the
effect that the manufacture, sale or use of any product as now used or offered
or proposed for use or sale by Amacan infringes on any copyright, patent or
trade secret, (ii) against the use by Amacan of any trademark, trade name, trade
secret, copyright, technology, know-how or computer software program or
application used in the business of Amacan as currently conducted or as proposed
to be conducted, or (iii) challenging the ownership, validity or effectiveness
of any of the Amacan Intellectual Property Rights. To Amacan's knowledge, there
is no material unauthorized use, infringement or misappropriation of any of the
Amacan Intellectual Property Rights by any third party, including any employee
or former employee of Amacan. No Amacan Intellectual Property Right is subject
to any outstanding order, judgment, decree, stipulation or agreement restricting
in any manner the licensing thereof by Amacan. Amacan has not entered into any
agreement to indemnify any other Person against any charge of infringement of
any Amacan Intellectual Property Right.

Section 5.20 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Amacan has not transported, stored,
used, manufactured, released or exposed its employees or any other Person to,
any Hazardous Material in violation of any applicable statute, rule, regulation,

Business Condition. Amacan has obtained all material permits, licenses and
other authorizations required to be obtained by it under any Environmental Law.

licenses and authorizations, and (b) in compliance in all material respects with

thereunder except as would not have a material adverse effect on Amacan's
Business Condition. Amacan has not received any notice, nor does it possess any
knowledge, of any past or present condition or practice of the businesses
conducted by Amacan or its Affiliates which forms or could form the basis of any
material claim, action, suit, proceeding, hearing or investigation against
Amacan, arising out of (x) the manufacture, processing, distribution, use
treatment, storage, spill, disposal, transport or handling, or the emission,
discharge, release or threatened release into the environment, of any Hazardous
Material (y) any actual or potential violation or failure to comply with any
Environmental Law, or (z) any actual or threatened obligation to undertake or
bear the cost of any liability pursuant to any Environmental Law with respect to

an interest. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of Amacan and its
Subsidiaries, threatened claims, encumbrances or other restrictions of any
nature arising under or pursuant to any Environmental Law with respect to or
affecting any of the properties and assets in which Amacan or its Subsidiaries
has or had an interest.

Section 6.02 ACCESS TO PROPERTIES AND RECORDS. Spire, Spire Systems and
Amacan each will afford to the officers and authorized representatives of the
other full access to the properties, books and records of Spire, Spire Systems
or Amacan, as the case may be, in order that each may have full opportunity to
make such reasonable investigation as it shall desire to make of the affairs of
the other, and each will furnish the other parties with such additional

properties of Spire, Spire Systems or Amacan, as the case may be, as the others
shall from time to time reasonably request.

Section 6.03 INFORMATION FOR SEC REPORTS. Spire and Spire Systems will
furnish Amacan with all information concerning Spire and Spire Systems required
for inclusion in any report (including a Current Report on Form 8-K) to be filed

Section 6.04 INDEMNIFICATION BY AMACAN. Amacan will indemnify and hold

such losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material

report or other document. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section
6.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of Amacan and shall survive the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 6.07 ACQUISITION OF AMACAN COMMON STOCK. The consummation of the
Share Exchange and the other transactions contemplated under this Agreement,
including the issuance of shares of the Amacan Common Stock to the Spire
Stockholders as contemplated hereby, constitutes the offer and sale of
securities under the Securities Act and applicable state statutes. Such
transactions shall be consummated in reliance on exemptions from the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of such statutes which depend,
among other items, on the circumstances under which the Spire Stockholders
acquire such securities.

(a) In order to provide documentation for reliance upon exemptions
from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements for such
transactions, the execution of this Agreement by each of the Spire Stockholders
shall constitute his or her affirmation and acceptance of, and concurrence in,
the following representations and warranties:

(i) Such Spire Stockholder acknowledges that neither the SEC nor
the securities commission of any state or other federal agency has made any
determination as to the merits of acquiring the Amacan Common Stock, and
that this transaction involves certain risks.

(ii) Such Spire Stockholder has received and read this Agreement
and understands the risks related to the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby.

(iii) Such Spire Stockholder has such knowledge and
experience in business and financial matters that he or she is capable of
evaluating Amacan and its business operations.

(iv) Such Spire Stockholder has been provided with a copy of this
Agreement and the Amacan and Spire Schedules plus all materials and
information requested by such stockholder or his or her representative,
including any information requested to verify any information furnished (to
the extent such information is available or can be obtained without
unreasonable effort or expense), and such stockholder has been provided the
opportunity for direct communication between Amacan and its representatives
and such stockholder and his or her representatives regarding the
transactions contemplated hereby.

<PAGE>

(v) All information which such Spire Stockholder has provided to
Amacan or its agents or representatives concerning such Spire Stockholder's
suitability to hold shares of Amacan Common Stock following the
transactions contemplated hereby is complete, accurate, and correct.

(vi) Such Spire Stockholder has not offered or sold any
securities of Amacan or interest in this Agreement and has no present
intention of dividing the shares of Amacan Common Stock to be received or
the rights under this Agreement with others or of reselling or otherwise
disposing of any portion of such stock or rights, either currently or after
the passage of a fixed or determinable period of time or on the occurrence
or nonoccurrence of any predetermined event or circumstance.

(vii) Such Spire Stockholder was at no time solicited by any
leaflet, public promotional meeting, circular, newspaper or magazine
article, radio or television advertisement or any other form of general
advertising or solicitation in connection with the offer, sale or purchase
of shares of Amacan Common Stock through this Agreement.

(viii) Such Spire Stockholder has adequate means of providing
for his or her current needs and possible personal contingencies and has no
need now, and anticipates no need in the foreseeable future, to sell shares
of the Amacan Common Stock which the undersigned will receive. Such Spire
Stockholder is able to bear the economic risks of this investment, and
consequently, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, is able to
hold the shares of Amacan Common Stock to be received in the Share Exchange
for an indefinite period of time and has a sufficient net worth to sustain
a loss of the entire investment, in the event such loss should occur.

(ix) Such Spire Stockholder is (a) a citizen of the United
States, (b) at least 21 years of age, and (c) a bona fide permanent
resident of and is domiciled in the state indicated on the signature page
hereof, and has no present intention of becoming a resident of any other
state or jurisdiction.

(x) Such Spire Stockholder understands that the Amacan Common
Stock has not been registered, but is being acquired by reason of a
specific exemption under the Securities Act as well as exemptions under
certain state statutes and that any disposition of the shares of Amacan
Common Stock acquired in the Share Exchange may, under certain
circumstances, be inconsistent with these exemptions and may cause the
undersigned to be deemed an "underwriter" within the meaning of the
Securities Act. Such Spire Stockholder understands that the definition of
"underwriter" arises out of the concept of "distribution" and that any
subsequent disposition of the subject Amacan Common Stock can only be
effected in transactions which are not considered distributions.
Generally, the term "distribution" is considered synonymous with "public
offering" or any other offer or sale involving general solicitation or
general advertising. Under present law, in determining whether a
distribution occurs when securities are sold into the public market, under
certain circumstances, the relevant considerations are the availability of
public information regarding the issuer, a holding period for the
securities sufficient to assure that the persons desiring to sell the
securities without registration first bear the economic risk of their
investment, and a limitation on the number of securities which the
stockholder is permitted to sell and on the manner of sale, thereby
reducing the potential impact of the sale on the trading markets. These
criteria are set forth specifically in Rule 144, and sales of securities in
reliance upon Rule 144 can only be made in limited amounts after satisfying
applicable holding periods and are subject to additional terms and
conditions set forth in that Rule 144.

<PAGE>

(xi) Such Spire Stockholder acknowledges that the shares of
Amacan Common Stock must be held and may not be sold, transferred, or
otherwise disposed of for value unless they are subsequently registered
under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is
available. Amacan is under no obligation to register the shares of Amacan
Common Stock to be acquired by the Spire Stockholders in the Share Exchange
under the Securities Act. Amacan's registrar and transfer agent will
maintain stop transfer orders against the transfer of the shares of Amacan
Common Stock to be obtained by the Spire Stockholders in the Share
Exchange, and the certificates representing such shares of Amacan Common
Stock will bear a legend in substantially the form set forth in Section
3.02(c).

(xii) Amacan may refuse to effect transfer of the Amacan
Common Stock in the absence of compliance with Rule 144 unless the holder
furnishes Amacan with a "no-action" or interpretive letter from the SEC or
an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Amacan stating that the
transfer is proper. Further, unless such interpretive letter or opinion
states that the shares of Amacan Common Stock are free of any restrictions
under the Securities Act, Amacan may refuse to transfer the Amacan Common
Stock to any transferee who does not furnish in writing to Amacan the same
representations and agree to the same conditions with respect to such
Amacan Common Stock as set forth herein. Amacan may also refuse to
transfer shares of Amacan Common Stock if any circumstances are present
reasonably indicating that the transferee's representations are not
accurate.

(b) Each of the Spire Stockholders, for the purpose of inducing
Amacan to enter into this Agreement, consummate the Share Exchange and complete
the other transactions contemplated hereby, represents and warrants to Amacan as
follows:

(i) such Spire Stockholder is the legal and beneficial owner of the
number of shares of Spire Common Stock and Spire Systems Common Stock set
forth below his or her name on the signature page hereof, and all such
shares are owned by such Spire Stockholder free and clear of any lien,
security interest, charge, encumbrance, pre-emptive right or other
restriction whatsoever;

(ii) such Spire Stockholder has not elected to exercise dissenters'
rights in connection with the Share Exchange and such Spire Stockholder
shall not elect to do so subsequent to the execution of this Agreement;

(iii) such Spire Stockholder is not required to obtain any
consent, approval or authorization or to make any filing with, any
Governmental Authority or any other Person in connection with the execution
of this Agreement and the consummation of the Share Exchange and the other
transactions contemplated hereby;

(iv) the execution of this Agreement by such Spire Stockholder and the
consummation of the Share Exchange and the other transactions contemplated
hereby will not violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or
constitute a default under, any order of any Governmental Authority or any
provision of any indenture, mortgage, contract, instrument or other
agreement to which such Spire Stockholder is a party or by which he or she
is bound.

(c) In connection with the Share Exchange and the transactions
contemplated hereby, Spire, Spire Systems and Amacan shall each file, with the
assistance of the other and their respective legal counsel, such notices,
applications, reports or other instruments as may be deemed by them to be
necessary or appropriate in an effort to document reliance on applicable
exemptions from the registration

<PAGE>

requirements of the Securities Act with the appropriate Governmental Authorities
in such states as the Spire Stockholders are residents, all to the extent and in
the manner as may be deemed by such parties to be appropriate.

(d) In order to more fully document reliance on the exemptions as
provided herein, the Spire Stockholders shall execute and deliver to Amacan, at
or prior to the Closing, such letters of representation, acknowledgment,
suitability or the like, as Amacan and its counsel may reasonably request in
connection with reliance on exemptions from registration under such securities
laws.

(e) Each of Spire and Spire Systems acknowledges that the basis for
relying on exemptions from registration or qualifications are factual, depending
on the conduct of the various parties, and that no legal opinion or other
assurance will be required or given to the effect that the transactions
contemplated hereby are in fact exempt from registration or qualification.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Amacan Resources
Corporation and subsidiary as of April 30, 1995, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended
April 30, 1995. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these consolidated 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 significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Amacan Resources
Corporation and subsidiary as of April 30, 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the year ended April 30, 1995, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary
information included in the Schedule of Supplementary Information on Oil and Gas
Operations is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic consolidated financial statements. Such
supplementary information, except for that portion marked "unaudited", on which
we express no opinion, has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audits of the basic consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion,
is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole.

AMACAN RESOURCES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 1995 AND 1994

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are followed by Amacan
Resources Corporation in preparing and presenting its consolidated
financial statements:

CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Amacan
Resources Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Amacan Industries.
(Collectively referred to as the Company). All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

OPERATIONS AND INTERESTS IN OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

The Company follows the full-cost accounting method of capitalizing all
exploration and development costs including nonproductive drilling
expenses, lease abandonments, and other related costs. The total
investment in oil and gas properties (including for depletion purposes,
estimated future development costs) is being amortized on the units-of-
production method based on proved oil and gas reserves. Under this method
of accounting, no gains or losses are recognized from the sale or
disposition of properties with insignificant proved oil and gas reserves.
The excess of net capitalized costs over the present value of future net
revenues from estimated proved oil and gas reserves is charged to expense.

The Company's operations and substantially all of its assets are devoted to
oil and gas exploration and development, all of which are located in the
United States. All of its accounts receivable are due from either
purchasers of oil and gas or from oil and gas operators.

PERVASIVENESS 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
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of 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.

<PAGE>

AMACAN RESOURCES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
APRIL 30, 1995 AND 1994

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company
considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. Certificates of deposit with
maturities in excess of three months are classified as investments. The
Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may
exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any
losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant
credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentration of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable and
certificate of deposit. In the normal course of business, the Company
provides credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company performs
ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for
possible losses which, when realized, have been within the range of
management's expectations.

OFFICE FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT

Office furniture and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a
straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five years.

INVESTMENT IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

The investment in limited partnership is accounted for using the equity
method which represents the Company's investment, adjusted for its
allocable portion of partnership profits and losses.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Spire Technologies, Inc. and Spire Technologies Systems Division, Inc., are
resellers of computer software and hardware, and also provide technical
support for certain software. Their customers consist of business and
governmental entities, geographically dispersed throughout the United
States. As a reseller, the Company is dependent upon third party
suppliers. Over seventy percent of the Company's revenues are derived from
products it obtains from three suppliers.

PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION

The combined financial statements include the financial statements of Spire
Technologies, Inc. (Spire Technologies or STI) and Spire Technologies
Systems Division, Inc. (STSDI) (the Companies). The Companies operate
under the direction of the same management team and the ownership of the
two entities is controlled by the same individuals. STSDI has no
employees. All work is performed by Spire Technologies and a management
fee is charged for the services provided. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in combination.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash equivalents of $766,247 and $493,460 at April 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, consist of deposits at financial institutions. For purposes
of the combined statements of cash flows, the Companies consider all highly
liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to
be cash equivalents.

FIXED ASSETS

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation of fixed assets is computed
on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of individual
classes of assets. The estimated useful lives of the individual classes of
assets are as follows:

Buildings 40 years
Furniture and equipment 3-10 years
Transportation equipment 5 years

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from the sale of software licenses and hardware sales is recognized
at the time of delivery. Revenue from maintenance contracts and customer
service is recognized as the service is performed. Deferred maintenance
revenue consists of payments received on software maintenance contracts and
recorded as revenue over the period of the contract, which is typically one
year.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

INCOME PER SHARE

Per share amounts are computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. There were 183,000, and
190,499 weighted average common shares outstanding at April 30, 1995, and
April 30, 1994, respectively.

USE OF ESTIMATES

Management of the Companies has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these combined financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(3) INCOME TAXES (continued)

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to current deferred
tax assets and noncurrent deferred tax liabilities at June 30, 1995 and
1994, are presented below:

1995 1994
------- -------
<S> <C> <C>
Current deferred tax assets:
Vacation accrual $ 9,232 7,435
Allowance for bad debts 29,809 20,033
------- -------

Total current deferred tax assets $ 39,041 27,468
------- -------
------- -------

Noncurrent deferred tax liability -- tax
depreciation in excess of book
depreciation $ 4,773 6,131
------- -------
------- -------
</TABLE>

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax
assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the
periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based upon
the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable
income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible,
management believes it is more than likely than not the Companies will
realize the benefits of these deductible differences.

(4) LEASES

The Companies have several operating leases for office space and equipment,
all of which have terms of one year or less. The Companies incurred rent
expenses of $19,973 and $-0- for the years ended April 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The Companies anticipate renewing these leases under options
clauses in the agreements. Rent expense under these options clauses for
1996 would be $66,174.

(5) STOCK RESTRICTION AGREEMENT

Spire Technologies has entered into an agreement with each of its
stockholders that places certain restrictions on the transfer of common
stock by the stockholders. In general, in the event of a proposed transfer
of stock, the agreement provides Spire Technologies with the first right of
refusal to purchase the shares proposed for transfer. If Spire
Technologies declines to purchase the shares, other stockholders may
acquire the shares not acquired by Spire Technologies. If neither Spire
Technologies nor other stockholders exercise the right to purchase the
shares, the individual may transfer the shares to a third party with the
prior written consent of 75 percent of the issued and outstanding stock of
Spire Technologies. These restrictions would be eliminated in conjunction
with the business combination described in note 7.

(6) RETIREMENT PLAN

Spire Technologies has a qualified defined contribution retirement plan
under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan covers all
employees who meet minimum age and service requirements, and allows
participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation on a pretax
basis. In addition, employer contributions are made at the discretion of
the Board of Directors. Participants are fully vested at all times in
employee contributions. Employer contributions vest over a six-year
period. Employer contributions of $11,545 and $6,001 were made for the
years ended April 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

(7) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In January 1996, the Companies entered into an agreement and plan of
reorganization with Amacan Resources Corporation (Amacan) that when
consummated will result in a business combination wherein the Companies
will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Amacan. Since 1974, Amacan has
been almost exclusively engaged as a participant with others in oil and gas
operations and development. Amacan's principal assets are working
interests in producing oil and gas wells and options or rights to
participate in the drilling of additional wells.

(7) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (continued)

At the closing of the business combination, (a) the 389,102 shares of
Amacan's common stock previously outstanding (as adjusted for a reverse
stock split) will remain outstanding and (b) Amacan will issue an
additional 3,501,883 shares of its common stock for all of the issued and
outstanding shares of the Companies' common stock. The business
combination will be treated for accounting purposes as a "reverse merger"
wherein the Companies will be shown as the acquiring company even though
Amacan will issue its common shares to acquire the Companies because the
stockholders of the Companies will have the significant majority of the
outstanding common stock after the combination, and management of the
Companies will become the management of the combined Companies. The
business combination will be accounted for as a purchase transaction with
the net assets of Amacan being recorded at their fair value at the date of
closing and operating results of Amacan prior to the business combination
will not be included with the historical operating results of the
Companies.

The following unaudited proforma financial information presents the
combined results of operations of the Companies and Amacan as if the
acquisition had occurred as of May 1, 1993. The proforma financial
information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations that
would have occurred had the Companies and Amacan constituted a single
entity during such periods.

In December 1995, Spire Technologies adopted an employee stock option plan
for which 12,000 shares (pre merger) of its common stock have been reserved
for issuance under the plan. A total of 8,155 options (pre merger) were
granted, at a price of $44 per share upon adoption of the plan.
