ITEM 1. CONSUMMATION OF SHARE EXCHANGE
On April 18, 1996, the Registrant completed a share exchange and related
transactions (collectively, the "Share Exchange") pursuant to an Agreement and
Plan of Reorganization among the Registrant, Spire Technologies, Inc. ("Spire"),
Spire Technologies Systems Division, Inc. ("Spire Systems" and, collectively
with Spire, the "Spire Companies") and the holders of all the capital stock of
the Spire Companies (the "Spire Stockholders"). The shareholders of the
Registrant approved the Share Exchange in a special meeting held for such
purpose prior to the completion of the Share Exchange.
The Share Exchange, consummated on April 18, 1996, included the following
actions and transactions:
(a) The Registrant acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares
of the capital stock of Spire and Spire Systems in exchange for the issuance by
the Registrant of an aggregate of 3,501,883 shares of the common stock, par
value $0.25 per share, of the Registrant ("Common Stock") to the Spire
Stockholders;
(b) The Registrant amended its Articles of Incorporation to make
effective a one-for-seven reverse split of the shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding at the effective time (the "Effective Time") of the Share Exchange;
(c) The Registrant amended its Articles of Incorporation to change
the name of the Registrant to Spire International Corp.;
(d) The Registrant adopted the Amacan Resources Corporation Stock
Incentive Plan (the "Option Plan");
(e) The Registrant substituted options to purchase shares of Common
Stock pursuant to the Option Plan for outstanding options to purchase shares of
the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Spire issued pursuant to the
Spire 1995 Stock Option and Award Plan; and
(f) The officers and directors of the Registrant resigned from such
positions subsequent to the Effective Time and replacement officers and
directors were appointed by the Spire Stockholders.
As a result of the completion of the Share Exchange, a change in the
control of the Registrant has occurred. In connection with the Share Exchange,
the Spire Stockholders acquired beneficial ownership of approximately 90.0% of
the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The amount of consideration
paid by the Registrant in the Share Exchange was determined through arms-length
negotiations between the Registrant and the Spire Companies, based upon the
business, financial condition, operations, management and prospects of the
Registrant and the Spire Companies. The Definitive Information Statement
describing the Share Exchange was filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 28, 1996. Copies of the Articles of Amendment and Share
Exchange filed with the Utah Department of Commerce giving effect to the Share
Exchange and of the press release announcing its consummation are attached as
exhibits 1 and 2 hereto, respectively.
ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OF THE SPIRE COMPANIES
By means of the Share Exchange, the Registrant acquired all of the issued
and outstanding capital stock of Spire and Spire Systems on April 18, 1996. The
manner of and consideration for the acquisition are described above in Item 1 of

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Spire Technologies, Inc. and Spire Technologies Systems Division, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Spire Technologies,
Inc. and Spire Technologies Systems Division, Inc. as of April 30, 1995 and
1994, and the related combined statements of income, stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for the years then ended. These combined financial statements are
the responsibility of the Companies' management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Spire
Technologies, Inc. and Spire Technologies Systems Division, Inc. as of April 30,
1995 and 1994, and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 1995 AND 1994
(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

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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:
<TABLE>

1995 1994

------- ------
------- ------
Noncurrent deferred tax liability -- tax
depreciation in excess of

------- ------
------- ------
</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.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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.

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 shares of Amacan Common Stock outstanding, 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:
Total common shares outstanding . . . . . . . . . . . 3,890,985
Par value of $.25 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $0.25
------------
$ 972,746
------------
$ 682,929
------------
Less balance of common stock issued prior to
merger. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 289,817
------------
------------
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 Share Exchange 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:
Elimination of negative balance in additional paid-in
capital . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 127,113
Elimination of treasury stock . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 126,140
