PART I
Item 1. Description of Business.
------------------------
Business Development.
- ---------------------
On October 2, 1997, G/O International, Inc., a Colorado corporation
(the "Company") issued a total of 40,000 shares of its common stock to seven
offshore purchasers in reliance on Regulation S of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. These issuances are disclosed in the Company's Current Report on
Form 8-K, which was filed on March 25, 1998. See the Exhibit Index, Part III,
Item 13 of this Report.
On October 29, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company
unanimously resolved to issue 20,000 "unregistered" and "restricted" shares to
each of the following directors of the Company in consideration of services
rendered: Jack Burns; Michael L. Caswell; and Sam Bono. All of these shares
have been issued as of the date of this Report. See the caption "Recent Sales
of Unregistered Securities," Part II, Item 5 of this Report.
For a discussion of the business development of the Company from
inception to the end of the calendar year ended December 31, 1996, see its
Registration Statement on Form 10-SB-A3, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on June 2, 1995; its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB-A1
for the calendar year ended December 31, 1994, filed on August 2, 1995; its
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB-A1 for the calendar year ended December 31,
1995, filed on June 17, 1996; and its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the
calendar year ended December 31, 1996, filed June 2, 1997, each of which is
incorporated herein by this reference. See Part III, Item 13 of this Report.
Business.
- ---------
The Company has had no business operations since approximately
December 15, 1989. The sole business operations of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries are those of its 50.7%-owned subsidiary Waterbury Resources Inc
("Waterbury"). Waterbury is engaged in the business of purchasing, training
and selling thoroughbred horses in the United States and Europe.
Principal Products or Services and their Markets.
- -------------------------------------------------
The Company's 50.7%-owned subsidiary, Waterbury, purchases, trains
and sells thoroughbred horses. Principal markets are the United States and
Europe.
Competition.
- ------------
Management believes that there are literally thousands of entities
engaged in the thoroughbred horse industry. Many of these entities have
substantially greater assets and experience than Waterbury, and Waterbury's
competitive position is not expected to be significant.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials.
- ------------------------------------------
None; not applicable.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or
Labor Contracts.
- ----------------
None; not applicable.
Governmental Approval of Principal Products or Services.
- --------------------------------------------------------
None; not applicable.
Effects of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations.
- ---------------------------------------------------------
The Company is subject to Regulation 14A of the Commission, which
regulates proxy solicitations. Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), requires all companies with securities
registered pursuant to Section 12(g) thereof to comply with the rules and
regulations of the Commission regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in
Regulation 14A. Matters submitted to stockholders of the Company at a special
or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require the
Company to provide its stockholders with the information outlined in Schedules
14A or 14C of Regulation 14; preliminary copies of this information must be
submitted to the Commission at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive
copies of this information are forwarded to stockholders.
The Company is also required to file annual reports on Form 10-KSB
and quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB with the Commission on a regular basis,
and will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes
in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of
assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in a
Current Report on Form 8-K.
Management believes that these obligations will increase the Company's
annual legal and accounting costs, but it is expected that assets will be
sufficient to meet these costs; in the event that assets are not sufficient,
it is likely that management will advance funds or that funds will be raised
through the private placement of the Company's securities to accredited
investors. See the heading "Plan of Operation" of the caption "Management's
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation", Part I, Item 2 of this Report.

Number of Employees.
- --------------------
None; not applicable.
Item 2. Description of Property.
------------------------
Other than cash of approximately $9,848, and horses valued at
$70,700, the Company and its subsidiaries have no assets or property; the
Company's principal executive office address and telephone number are the
business office address and telephone number of its President, Jack L. Burns,
and are provided at no cost.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
------------------
The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceeding. No
federal, state or local governmental agency is presently contemplating any
proceeding against the Company. No director, executive officer or affiliate
of the Company or owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of
the Company's common stock is a party adverse to the Company or has a material
interest adverse to the Company in any proceeding.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
----------------------------------------------------
During the fourth quarter of the calendar year ended December 31,
1997, no matter was submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders,
whether through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.
PART II
Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.
---------------------------------------------------------
Market Information
- ------------------
There has been no "public market" for shares of the Company's
common stock during the past five years. On or about September 1, 1995, the
Company obtained a listing on the OTC Bulletin Board of the NASD under the
trading symbol "GOII." However, except as shown below, no bid or asked
quotations have been reflected since that time. There can be no assurance
that a public market for the Company's securities will develop.
The range of high and low bid quotations for the Company's
common stock during the each quarter of the calendar years ended December 31,
1996 and December 31, 1997, is shown below. Prices are inter-dealer
quotations as reported by the NASD and do not necessarily reflect
transactions, retail markups, mark downs or commissions.

There are no outstanding options, warrants or calls to purchase
any of the authorized securities of the Company.
The sales of a total of 4,040,000 shares of common stock pursuant to
Regulation S during the calendar years ended December 31, 1996 (4,000,000
shares), and 1997 (40,000 shares) and the issuance of a total of 110,000
shares in consideration of services rendered (50,000 shares in 1996, and
60,000 shares in 1997) were the only sales of any securities of the Company
during the past three years. Future sales of any of these "restricted
securities" or any securities that may be issued in the future may have an
adverse effect on any "public market" that may develop in the common stock of
the Company.
In addition to the above referenced shares, David M Klausmeyer,
David R. Strawn, Esq. and Michael L. Caswell beneficially own a total of
1,590,000 "unregistered" and "restricted" shares of the Company's common stock
for which the one year holding period provided in Rule 144 expired in 1989;
these shares may now be sold pursuant to Rule 144 in any "public market" that
may develop.
During the period ended May 31, 1994, Leonard W. Burningham, Esq.
acquired 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to Rule 701 of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, and these shares were subject to a
90-day holding period commencing on October 12, 1994, the effective date of
the Company's Registration Statement on Form 10-SB. This holding period has
since expired and these shares may be sold without restriction in any "public
market" that may develop for the Company's securities.
No assurance can be given that any "public market" will develop in
the common stock of the Company, or if any such "public market"
does develop, that it will continue or be sustained for any period of time.
Holders
- -------
The number of record holders of the Company's common stock as of
March 19, 1998, was approximately 771.
Dividends
- ---------
The Company has not declared any cash dividends with respect to its
common stock, and does not intend to declare dividends in the foreseeable
future. The present intention of management is to utilize all available funds
for the development of the Company's business. There are no material
restrictions limiting, or that are likely to limit, the Company's ability to
pay dividends on its common stock.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
- ----------------------------------------
For a discussion of the sales by the Company of "unregistered" and
"restricted" shares of its common stock during the period covered by this
Report, see the heading "Business Development" of the caption "Description of
Business," Part I, Item 1 of this Report.
Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
----------------------------------------------------------
Plan of Operation.
- ------------------
The Company's only material operations and revenues from operations
during the last calendar year were those of Waterbury.
During the next twelve months, the Company's only foreseeable cash
requirements will relate to maintaining the Company in good standing.
Management anticipates that the Company's current cash reserves of
approximately $9,848 will be sufficient to pay for administrative expenses of
the Company for the next 12 months. In the event that additional funding is
required in order to keep the Company in good standing, the Company may
attempt to raise such funding through a private placement of its common stock
to accredited investors.
At the present time, management has no plans to offer or sell any
securities of the Company. However, at such time as the Company may decide to
engage in such activities, management may use any legal means of conducting
such offer or sale, including registration with the appropriate federal and
state regulatory agencies and any registration exemptions that may be
available to the Company under applicable federal and state laws, including
sales exempt under Regulation S.
Results of Operations.
- ----------------------
Revenues for the calendar years ending December 31, 1996 and 1997,

The Company had a net loss of $25,510 (a loss of $0.00 per share)
during the calendar year ended December 31, 1996, and a net loss of $42,821 (a
loss of $0.01 per share) for the year ended December 31, 1997.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Directors and Stockholders
G/O International, Inc.
(a Development Stage Company)
Houston, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of G/O
International, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 1997 and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity
(deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 and
from inception of the development stage (January 1, 1991) to December 31,
1997. 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 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 consolidated financial
statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of G/O International, Inc. (a development stage company) at December 31, 1997
and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows, for the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 and from inception of development stage
(January 1, 1991) to December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 8,
the Company is in the development stage and has limited assets, working
capital, sustained losses during its development stage and has capital
deficiencies which together raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are
also discussed in Note 8. The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

G/O INTERNATIONAL, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1997
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
G/O International, Inc. (the Company) was initially incorporated under
the laws of the State of Colorado in June, 1973 as Rocky Mountain Ventures,
Inc. During mid 1978, the Company experienced financial difficulties, at
which time new officers and directors were elected, the Company changed its
business activity from hard rock mining to oil and gas exploration,
development and production, and offices were relocated from Denver, Colorado,
to its present location in Houston, Texas.
On February 4, 1986, the Company filed for protection under Chapter 11
of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Company ceased operations in 1988
and did not conduct any business activity other than the closing of its
bankruptcy filing and other organizational activities until it acquired
Waterbury Resources, Inc.
The Company is now considered to be in the development stage (effective
January 1, 1991 for accounting purposes) and has not commenced planned
principal operations. For disclosure purposes, the accompanying Statement of
Stockholders' Equity (Deficit) has been reflected from the date of the
inception of the development stage. The Company has paid a partially
liquidating dividend. The dividend was in the form of shares of two of its
subsidiaries.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies
followed in connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements.
Income Taxes - Income taxes have been provided on financial statement
income. There are no deferred income taxes arising from timing differences
which result from income and expense items being reported for financial
accounting and tax reporting purposes in different periods (see Note 7).
Loss Per Share - The Company computes loss per share by the weighted
average method. Fully diluted earnings per share are not presented because
the Company does not have common stock equivalents. As discussed below, the
Company's Board of Directors authorized a reverse split of its outstanding
Common Stock. All loss per share disclosures have been retroactively restated
to reflect the reverse split.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid
investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Antares
Trading, Inc. and its 50.7% owned subsidiary Waterbury Resources, Inc.
NOTE 3 - BANKRUPTCY FILING
On February 4, 1986, the Company filed a voluntary petition pursuant to
Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. At the time of
its filing, the Company had liabilities in excess of $950,000.
In accordance with the Company's Second Amended Plan of Reorganization
the creditors were broken down into nine separate classes for individual
satisfaction. A total of $1,496 of debt was paid in cash, $562,098 of debt
was paid through transfer of secured property interest, and the balance of
$338,061 of debt was satisfied through the issuance of 338,062 shares of its
previously unissued common stock. On March 13, 1992 the Bankruptcy Court
issued its final decree and the Chapter 11 bankruptcy was closed.
NOTE 4 - ADVANCES FROM STOCKHOLDERS
Stockholders of the Company have advanced funds to the Company to cover
settlement of bankruptcy obligations and ongoing administrative expenses. The
advances bear no interest and are repayable on demand as funds become
available. Total advances amounted to $39,385 at December 31, 1996.
NOTE 5 - CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS
On May 6, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a reverse
split of its outstanding common stock. The reverse split was on a basis of 1
(one) share for each 100 shares outstanding (1 for 100). However, no
shareholders' holding was to be reduced to less than 100 shares. The total
number of shares of common stock outstanding after the split was 323,866. The
reverse stock split is reflected on a retroactive basis.
On May 6, 1994, the Company's shareholders adopted, ratified and
approved Board of Directors' resolutions authorizing the issuance of a total
of 1,500,000 post-split shares of its previously unissued common stock to a
director and the former legal counsel (750,000 shares each) in exchange for
services rendered and advances made totaling $15,000.
On July 26, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors entered into a
compensation agreement calling for the issuance of 150,000 post-split shares
of its previously unissued commons stock, valued at $1,500, in exchange for
legal services rendered by its current legal counsel.
During 1995 18,494 shares of common stock was turned back to the
Company and canceled due to rounding of shares in the reverse split of the
Company's common stock.
On October 23, 1995 the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of its common
stock at $0.01 per share for a total of $20,000.
During November 1995, 30,000 shares of common stock was issued to
Directors of the Company in lieu of services rendered, valued at $0.01 per
share.
In March of 1996, 2,000,000 shares of common stock were issued for cash
of $20,000 or $0.01 per share.
In October of 1996, 50,000 shares of common stock were issued for
services valued $0.01 or $500.
NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The President of the Company provides office space and other clerical
services at no cost to the Company.
NOTE 7 - INCOME TAX
During 1993 the Company adopted Statement of financial Accounting
Standards No.109 - "Accounting for income Taxes" (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 is an
asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax
assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that
have been recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements or tax
returns. In estimating future tax consequences, SFAS 109 generally considers
all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax law or
rates. Previously, the Company accounted for income taxes under APB Opinion
No. 11. Under SFAS 109, in the year of adoption, previously reported results
of operations for that year should be restated to reflect the effects of
applying SFAS 109, and the cumulative effect of adoption on prior years'
results of operations should be shown in the income statement n the year of
change it was determined that there was no cumulative effect on the prior year
earnings. For tax purposes, the Company had available, at December 31, 1996,
not operating loss ("NOL") carry forwards for regular Federal Income Tax
purposes of an estimated $2,064,959 which are estimated to expire as shown
below. A valuation, allowance has been established for estimated tax benefits
of the loss carry overs which are not expected to be realized.

2006 72

2009 24,350
2010 4,095
2011 25,510
2012 42,821
NOTE 8 - GOING CONCERN
The Company has experienced losses totaling $99,992 from inception of
its development stage. The Company also has limited assets and operating
capital with a stockholder deficit of $30,019 at December 31, 1997. In light
of this circumstance, the ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern is substantially in doubt. The consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
Management plans are to seek another entity that wants to consummate an
acquisition by allowing the purchasing entity to buy or exchange unissued
shares of the Company's common stock in order to become a part of a public
company. Management believes their plans will provide the Company with the
ability to continue in existence. In the interim management has committed to
meeting its operating expenses.
