UNAUDITED
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 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. UNAUDITED INFORMATION:
The information furnished herein was taken from the books and record of
the Company without audit. However, such information reflects all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect properly the results
of the interim periods presented. Results of operations for the periods
presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the year. These interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's annual report and report on Form 10-K for
the year ended June 30, 1996.

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.
4. STRAWBOARD INVESTMENT:
The Company purchased strawboard equipment for $57,120. This
equipment is seen as an investment and the Company intends to resell
the equipment.
5. RELATED PARTY PAYABLE AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
Advances include $181,251 due Piece D. Parker, officer and director, or
his company, Parker Consulting Services, and $51,000 is accrued
consulting fees due Pierce D. Parker.
6. COMMITMENTS:
As of December 31, 1996, PI had the following long term note payable:
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 December 31, 1996, PI had 6,380,703 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.
Of the total shares outstanding, 160,000 shares were issued as part of PI's
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.

7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:(continued)
The preferred stock may be issued by the Board of Directors in one or
more series. The Board shall determine the distinguishing features of
each, including preferences, rights and restrictions, upon the
establishment of such series.
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 400,000 shares of 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 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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996.

effort to sell strawboard equipment, and to presell strawboard.
LIQUIDITY
Working capital at December 31, 1996 was a negative $211,885. 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
During the quarter ended December 31, 1996, the Company had net loss of
$26,057. As the Company develops its two primary business operations, costs
have increased in the areas of legal, accounting, travel, and outside
consulting fees.
