ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

     Mr. Kinsley and Mr.  Durchhalter each exchanged all of the shares of common
stock which they  beneficially  owned in Mason Hill & Co., Inc. for an aggregate
of 7,080,809  shares of Pride,  Inc.  Common Stock.  This exchange was part of a
