PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION
Pierce International, Inc. (The "Company") was organized under the laws of
the State of Colorado July 22, 1987, for the purpose of creating a corporate
vehicle to acquire business opportunities.
In February, 1988 the Company completed a public offering of 40,000,000
shares of its no par value common stock at an offering price of $.01 per share.
The net proceeds to the Company from the initial offering were approximately
$332,900.
Currently, the Company is concentrating its business efforts in two areas:
1. Industrial Development
2. Natural Resources
NATURAL RESOURCES
The Company owns an interest in the Como Property through its 100% owned
subsidiary, Como, Inc. Como consists of gold and gravel mining leases on a
property situated approximately 50 miles southwest of Denver, Colorado, near
Como, Colorado in Park County. The Company had sold the property to a
subsidiary under a stock purchase agreement, however, the subsidiary
defaulted on the agreement and the Company reclaimed the property as of June
11, 1996. The Company continues to carry $200,000 in debt related to the
original purchase of the Como leases. This $200,000 will be paid from the
net profits generated by the property. Further, a shareholder is entitled to
10% of net profits received by the Company on this project.
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
EASIWALL (STRAWBOARD)
On May 23, 1994, the Company agreed to purchase a used strawboard
factory for $50,000. A payment of $10,000 was paid at execution, and the
balance of $40,000 was paid in a series of payments, with the final payment
being made September 30, 1994. This equipment was part of an operation in
Yuba City, California. The Company has an agreement with Stramit Industries
Ltd. of Yaxley, England, who will refurbish the equipment and supervise the
proper installation of the equipment at a site yet to be determined. The
equipment has an estimated market value of $900,000.
<PAGE>
The machine produces a product known internationally as "strawboard". The
Company's trade marked names for its products are "Easiboard" and "Easiwall".
The product has a history of use in the building industry for more than 40
years. A number of the plants are currently operating worldwide. However,
there is no such operating manufacturing plant in the United States. The
technology includes the use of wheatstraw in a compressed state to produce
building panels.
The Company is engaged in marketing factories, technical expertise, and
exclusive sales of the product. Although no deals have yet been completed, the
Company has had serious negotiations with several rural communities who are
interested in financing a factory in their area.
Easiboard is a solid, versatile domestic partitioning system ideally suited
to the needs of today's contractor. The system is simple to install and
replaces the use of timber and studwork in residential and commercial
applications. It offers cost benefits and provides excellent sound and thermal
insulation properties in all types of dwellings. It is also a fire retardant.
According to building contractors and building specialty products professionals,
Easiboard may very well replace drywall, wood studs and in some instances,
plywood. But more importantly, Easiboard's primary component is straw, and
ever-renewing, largely wasted agricultural by-product.
The Company is also entering into a relationship with Stramit Industries
LTD to introduce even more technological applications for Easiboard and to
provide for technological changes in the equipment. Details regarding this
agreement will be forthcoming.
EMPLOYEES
The Company and its subsidiaries do not currently have any employees. All
services are provided by various individuals on a consulting basis.
COMPETITION
The Company and its subsidiaries compete against many significantly larger
enterprises with respect to their business activities. Nearly all such
entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and
managerial capabilities than the Company and its subsidiaries, and,
consequently, the Company and its subsidiaries are at a competitive
disadvantage.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
The Company leases it office space which consists of approximately 500 square
feet from a non-affiliated party. The office is located at 13275 E. Freemont
Place, Suite 101A, Englewood, CO. The lease is on a month to month basis.
Current rent is $478 per month.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Company, is not engaged in any material pending legal proceedings.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
No matter was submitted during the forth quarter of the fiscal year covered
by this report to a vote of security holders.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
(a) PRINCIPAL MARKET OR MARKETS. There is not a current market for
the Company's stock. The Company is in the process of getting relisted on
the OTC Bulletin Board.
(b) APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF HOLDERS OF COMMON STOCK. The number of
beneficial holders of the Company's no par value common stock at June 30,
1996, were approximately 450.
(c) DIVIDENDS. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such

dividends are anticipated to be paid in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATION OF THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1996.
INTRODUCTION
The Company is concentrating on its two major industries, natural
resources and industrial development. The Company is making a concentrated
effort to sell strawboard equipment, and to presell strawboard.
LIQUIDITY
Working capital at June 30, 1996 was a negative $170,819. A significant
portion of current liabilities are advances from stockholders. Cash flow
continues to be irregular and the Company will continue to rely heavily on
its current investments to produce future cash flow.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the year ended June 30, 1996, the Company had a net loss of $6,778.
The Company generated $205,144 in revenues related to the sale of strawboard
equipment. The Company made an allowance for uncollectable related party
receivables (PIDI) of $162,200. In addition, as the operations of PIDI have
become highly questionable, the Company reclaimed the property in Como
realizing a gain of $434,918 and simultaneously writing off its investment in
PIDI of $381,695. As the Company develops its two primary business
operations, costs have increased in the areas of legal, accounting, travel,
and outside consulting fees.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Stockholders and Directors
Pierce International, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Pierce International, Inc.
as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations,
changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended June 30,
1996, 1995 and 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatements. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Pierce International, Inc.
as of June 30, 1996, and 1995 and the results of their operations and cash
flows for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from
operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1996
1. OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
OPERATIONS - Pierce International, Inc. (PI) was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Colorado on July 22, 1987, for the purpose of
obtaining capital to seek potentially profitable business opportunities.
Currently, PI has business interest in two industries, natural resources
and industrial development.
NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE - Net income (loss) per common share is
computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the period. Common stock equivalents were not considered (for
losses only), as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION - Property and equipment
are stated at cost. Depreciation is being provided by the straight-line
method over estimated useful lives of three to five years. All costs
related to the acquisition (including associated legal and other costs),
exploration, evaluation, and development, of the mineral properties have
been capitalized. These costs will be amortized by the units-of-production
method of accounting based upon estimated recoverable reserves.
CONTINUING OPERATIONS - The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of
operations and realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going
concern is dependent upon the Company raising additional capital, and
attaining and maintaining profitable operations. The Company has suffered
recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern.
2. UNDEVELOPED MINERAL PROPERTY:
On June 11, 1996, PI reclaimed the "Como" property from Pierce
International Discovery, Inc. (PIDI). PIDI, a 17.24% owned subsidiary,
failed to comply with the stock purchase agreement. Como consists of gold
and gravel mining leases on a property situated approximately 50 miles
southwest of Denver, Colorado, near Como, Colorado in Park County.

PCS Profit Sharing Plan $200,000
PI is obligated to pay $200,000 to Parker Consulting Services Profit
Sharing Plan, owned by Pierce D. Parker, for funds it pledged for the
purpose of funding the Como project. This debt is to be paid from net
profits generated by the Como property.
7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:
As of June 30, 1996, PI had 5,980,703 common shares issued and outstanding.
There are 30,000,000 shares authorized. A reverse split of 1 for 25 shares
was approved on March 13, 1996.

initial public offering and are free trading stock. All other shares have
been held a minimum of 2 years and could be sold under Rule 144.

8. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN:
On August 10, 1987, the Company adopted an Incentive Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan") under which options granted are intended to qualify as "incentive
stock options" under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue code of 1954, as
amended (the "Code"). Pursuant to the Plan, options to purchase up to
