Item 1. Business.
- -----------------

History and Organization
- ------------------------

     Pierce International,  Inc. (The "Company") was organized under the laws of
the State of Colorado on 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.       Natural Resources
                           2.       Industrial Development

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 $1,300,000.

     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 more than 40 years use by the building industry.  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.

                                       2

<PAGE>


     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. More
importantly,  Easiboard's primary component is straw, an 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 its office space which  consists of  approximately  600
square  feet from a  non-affiliated  party.  The office is located at 6746 South
Revere Parkway, Suite 130, Englewood,  Colorado, USA. The lease is for two years
beginning June, 1998. Current rent is $832.50 per month.

Item 7. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation of the Year Ended June 30, 1998.

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
- ---------

     At June 30, 1998, the Company has cash of $286. For the year ended June 30,
1998,  the  Company  used  cash  of  $10,560,  resulting  from a use of  cash in
operating activities of $33,096 offset by advances from officers of $22,532.

     The  Company's  future  liquidity  needs are  dependent  upon the Company's
ability to generate  positive cash flow from  operations,  to borrow funds or to
complete additional equity offerings or a combination of the above. There can be
no assurance that financing will be available to the Company or that the Company
will otherwise find sources to meet its cashflow requirements.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     For the years  ended June 30,  1998 and 1997,  the  Company  sustained  net
losses of $101,283 and $106,414 , respectively.  The Company's  revenues related
to the sale of  strawboard  equipment  were  $43,211 for the year ended June 30,
1998 and $115,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997. Management is confident that
future marketing will have a positive impact on revenues.

Year 2000
- ---------

     At its  current  level of  operations,  the Company is not  dependent  upon
computer  programs  as the  Company  employs  outside  vendors  to  process  its
accounting  information.  The Company will take the necessary steps to engage an
outside  vendor whose  computer  programs are year 2000  compliant.  The Company
expects that costs to comply will be born  substantially  by the outside vendors
and that its costs will not be significant, if any.


Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data.
- ---------------------------------------------------

     The Financial  statements  and schedules are set forth on pages F-1 through
F-13 hereto.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosure.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     On August 26, 1997, the Company dismissed its independent accountant, Doran
Peck, C.P.A. P.C., and engaged independent  accountant,  Spicer,  Jeffries & Co.
The former accountant issued a report that was modified as to uncertainty (Going
Concern).  The decision to change  independent  accountants  was approved by the
board of directors. There was not any disagreement with the former accountant on
any  matter  of  accounting   principles  or  practices,   financial   statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT




To the Stockholders and Directors
Pierce International, Inc.


We have audited the balance sheets of Pierce International,  Inc. as of June 30,
1998 and 1997, and the statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity
(deficit) and cash flows of Pierce International, Inc. for the years then ended.
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 audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.   An  audit  includes  examining,  on  the  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 financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the financial position of Pierce International,  Inc. as
of June 30, 1998 and 1997,  and the results of its operations and cash flows for
the  years  then  ended  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.

                                                         SPICER, JEFFRIES & CO.

To the Stockholders and Directors
Pierce International, Inc.

We have audited the statement of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and
cash flows of Pierce International, Inc. for the year ended June 30, 1996. These
financial  statements are the  responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our

our audit.

Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable

misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes

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 results of the  operations and cash flows of Pierce
International,  Inc.  for the  year  ended  June  30,  1996 in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been  prepared  assuming that the

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          -----------------------------


NOTE 1 -  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company 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, Pierce International, Inc. (PI) has business
interest in two industries, natural resources and industrial development.

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 antidilutive.

The  Company  states  property  and  equipment  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) 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.

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, in its financial
statements  for the year ended June 30,  1997.  The  adoption of SFAS 121 had no
material effect on the Company's financial  statements.  The Company reviews its
long-lived  assets for  impairment  to determine  if the carrying  amount of the
asset is recoverable.

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 at 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.

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.

Cash and cash  equivalents for purposes of the statements of cash flows includes
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of
acquisition.

the Company's Common Stock may be granted to employees of the Company.  The Plan
is  administered  by the Board of Directors  which is empowered to determine the
terms and conditions of each option, subject to the limitation that the exercise
price  cannot be less than the market  value of the Common  Stock on the date of
the  grant  (110%  of the  market  value in the case of  options  granted  to an
employee who owns 10% or more of the Company's  outstanding Common Stock) and no
option  can have a term in  excess  of 10 years (5 years in the case of  options
granted to employees who own 10% or more of the Company's Common Stock).

As of the date of this report, no options have been granted under this Plan.

NOTE 9 -  INCOME TAXES

At June 30, 1998, the Company has available to reduce future taxable  income,  a

years 2003 through 2013.

This net operating loss  carryforward  may result in future income tax benefits;

the same amount has been  established.  Significant  components of the Company's
deferred tax liabilities and assets as of June 30, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

                                                   1998             1997

NOTE 10 -  FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

SFAS 107 requires  disclosure of the fair value of financial  instruments,  both
assets  and  liabilities  recognized  and not  recognized  in the  statement  of
financial  position,  for which it is  practicable  to estimate fair value.  The
carrying  amounts of current  assets and current  liabilities  approximate  fair
value.

                           ON SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION





To the Stockholders and Directors
Pierce International, Inc.

Our  report  on  our  audit  of  the  basic   financial   statements  of  Pierce
International,  Inc.  for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 appears on Page
F-1.  The audit was made for the  purpose  of  forming  an  opinion on the basic
financial statements, taken as a whole. The accompanying supplementary schedules
are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

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's  ability  to  continue  in  existence  is
dependent  upon  their  obtaining   additional  equity  capital  and  ultimately
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.  The  financial  statements  do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
