NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Operations and Acquisitions:
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals)
necessary to present fairly its financial position as of December 31, 1999, and
its results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ending December
31, 1999 and 1998, and its cash flows for the six-month period ending December
31, 1999 and 1998. The results of operations for the three- and six-month
periods ending December 31, 1999 and 1998 are not necessary indicative of the
results to be expected for the fiscal year.
Effective December 21, 1999, North American Software Associates, Limited
(NAS) merged into Pierce International, Inc. ("PRCI") in exchange for 76,801,017
shares of the PRCI's common stock. The merger was accounted for as a reverse
acquisition, whereby NAS was treated as the acquirer and PRCI as the acquired
because the former shareholders of NAS owned a controlling interest in the
Company at the date of the merger. Purchase accounting was performed on PRCI
based upon its fair market value at the date of acquisition. The fair value of
PRCI was based upon the average share price of PRCI near the date the merger
agreement was consummated. The valuation of PRCI, including transaction costs,
approximated $400,000; substantially all of which has been allocated to
goodwill.
The Company was incorporated in September 1998 to provide a variety of
telecommunications services. The offices of the Company are located in a
state-of-the-art 170,000 square foot office building, located in Iuka,
Mississippi. This facility was originally constructed for the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1993 to support the advanced solid
rocket motor project. When completed, the facility housed a fully functional $20
million computer and network operations center, and provided information
processing and on-line data storage with a high level of security. Budget cuts
for the space shuttle caused the closure of this facility in 1996. In January,
1999, the Company entered into a 10-year lease for use of the facility at an
annual rent of approximately $87,500. The Company believes that this facility,
with its existing infrastructure and security features, is ideally suited for
the Company's current and future needs.
The Company is engaged, or plans to engage, in the following lines of
business:
Internet Access
Remote Data Storage
Consulting
Telecommunication Projects
Fiber Optic and Broadband Wireless Network
On April 1, 1999, the Company acquired all the assets of Freedom 2000, a
local Internet service provider (ISP), in exchange for 577,123 shares of the
restricted common stock of the Company.
On December 3, 1999 the Company acquired all the common stock of Action
Communications, Inc. for approximately 1,731,339 shares of the restricted common
stock of the Company. Action provides digital and alpha numeric paging to nine
southeastern states, and is currently expanding its coverage area to include
portions of the eastern and southwestern United States. Action is also a
specialized mobile radio carrier providing dispatch, telephone and Global
Position System services. This transaction is currently being treated for
accounting purposes as a purchase of assets and liabilities. Revenues and
expenses are consolidated as of December 3, 1999, but not prior to this date.
From July 1, 1999 to December 3, 1999 Action had approximate revenues of $85,000
and net operating income before taxes of approximately $40,000.
NORTH AMERICAN DATACOM, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Operations and Acquisitions: (continued)
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had 16 full-time employees, and plans
to hire additional employees as may be required by the level of its operations.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Investments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at
estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported
as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses, and
declines in value judged to be other than temporary, are included in other
income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification
method and interest earned is included in other income.
Basic and diluted loss per share of common stock have been computed based
upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the three- and
six-month periods ending December 31, 1999, and 1998. Common stock equivalents
were not considered, as their effect would be antidilutive.
Continuing Operations -- The accompanying unaudited 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.
3. Investments:
The Company's investments are classified as available-for-sale. The
amortized cost, gross unrealized gains (losses) and estimated fair value of
these investments were as follows at December 31, 1999, and June 30, 1999:
Amortized Gross Unrealized Estimated

The Company held assigned common stock interests in New York Regional Rail
Corporation that were sold in May, 1999, with a realized gain of $200,000. Cash
received was invested in money market instruments. The above represents options
to acquire 500,000 shares of NY Regional Rail Corp common stock for $.12 per
share.
The Company is the manager and controlling entity of North American
InfoTech (NAIT). This venture is developing a fiber optic network to provide
access for the Company's vertically integrated information technology businesses
to service Tier 2 communities in the Southeast, and eventually throughout the
country. NAIT is a Delaware Limited Liability Corporation (or "LLC"). The
Company plans to have future members of NAIT provide funds, rights-of-way,
engineering, and services in exchange for their equity interests.

sale of 300,000 shares of its common stock for $300,000. This subscription was

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
10. Stock Options Plan: (continued)
purchase 1,898,926 common shares for 25 cents per share, as of December 20,
1999. These options are exercisable in the period July 1, 2000 to December 31,
2001. Documentation on these options will be provided to the shareholders.
On August 10, 1987, the PRCI had adopted an Incentive Stock Option Plan
(the Plan) whereunder 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.
This Plan is administered by the Board of Directors and will be reviewed by the
Board to determine is future applicability As of the date of this report, no
options have been granted under this Plan.
11. Subsequent Events
On March 10, 2000, the Company held a shareholders' meeting, and three
items were approved. The first item approved was the amendment of the Company's
Articles of Incorporation, such that the authorized capitalization of the
Company will be increased to 150,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par
value, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value.
The second item of business approved was to change the name of the Company
to North American DataCom, Inc. The last item of business approved was the
merger of the Company and Pierce International, Inc. (a Delaware corporation).
The terms of the merger were provided in the proxy statement for the meeting,
which was sent to all of the Company's shareholders of record February 4, 2000.
The Company's common stock currently trades on the Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the trading symbol "PRCI." The Company received
notice from OTCBB that, as of March 16, 2000, the Company was not in compliance
with the National Association of Security Dealers, Inc. (NASD(R)) filing
requirements. The letter "E" was appended by the OTCBB to the trading symbol of
the Company, and the Company was advised that trading of the Company's common
stock may be suspended on the OTCBB. If this occurs, the Company's shares would
likely be traded on the "Pink Sheets," which could significantly reduce the
ability of the Company's shareholders to readily trade it common stock.
On April 7, 2000 the Company's OTCBB trading symbol was changed to
"NADAE." The management of the Company believes that it will soon be in
compliance with NASD(R) filing requirements, after which the symbol can be
listed as "NADA."
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors that have affected the Company's financial condition and
results of operations during the periods included in the accompanying unaudited
balance sheets and statements of operations.
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports and statements issued
on behalf of the Company may include forward looking statements in reliance on
the safe harbor provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. These forward looking statements are subject to substantial risks and
uncertainties, including those discussed below, and actual results may differ
materially from those contained in any such forward-looking statement. The
review of factors pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 should not be construed as exhaustive. Further, the Company undertakes no
obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect
subsequent events or circumstances.
NORTH AMERICAN SOFTWARE ASSOCIATES, LIMITED MERGER WITH PIERCE INTERNATIONAL
Effective December 21, 1999, NAS merged into Pierce International, Inc. in
exchange for 76,801,017 shares of common stock. The merger was accounted for as
a reverse acquisition since the former shareholders of NAS now own a controlling
interest in the Company. In connection with this transaction, the management of
the Company resigned and was replaced by the management of NAS.
NAS was incorporated in September, 1998, to provide a variety of
telecommunications services. The offices of NAS are located in a
state-of-the-art 170,000 square foot office building, located in Iuka,
Mississippi. This facility was originally constructed for the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1993 to support the advanced solid
rocket motor project. When completed, the facility housed a fully functional $20
million computer and network operations center and provided information
processing and on-line data storage with a high level of security. Budget cuts
for the space shuttle caused the closure of this facility in 1996. In January,
1999, the Company entered into a 10-year lease for an initial 25,000 square foot
segment of this facility at annual rent of approximately $90,000. The Company
has options to lease additional segments totaling 100,000. The Company believes
that this facility, with its existing infrastructure and security features, is
ideally suited for the Company's present and proposed business.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had 16 full time employees. The
Company plans to hire additional employees as may be required by the level of
its operations.
The Company is engaged, or plans to engage, in the following lines of
business:
Internet Access. Since April, 1999, the Company has provided Internet
service to approximately 850 customers in Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama.
Internet services provided by the Company include basic dial-up access to the
Internet through standard computer modems, high speed Internet access, and the
design and hosting of websites for customers.
Remote Data Storage. The Company recently took delivery of equipment
having a cost of approximately $700,000 that will allow third parties to store
and access data stored in digital form on computer systems maintained and
operated by the Company in its facility in Iuka, Mississippi. As of December 31,
1999, the Company did not have any agreements with any third parties regarding
the storage of computer data.
Consulting. The Company plans to assist corporations, government agencies,
and institutions in upgrading their computer systems to function more
effectively with current economic, technical and commercial conditions.
Telecommunication Projects. The Company, through expansion of its Action
Communication business, plans to assist corporations, government agencies and
institutions in the design and installation of their own internal
telecommunications networks. The Company plans to use state-of-the-art
technology, which will enable its clients to transfer and receive large amounts
of data at high speed between both internal and external sources.
Fiber Optic and Broadband Wireless Network. The Company plans to build a
fiber optic and broadband wireless communications network, which will allow for
the high-speed transmission of large amounts of data. It is expected that
businesses, government agencies and institutions will use the Company network as
a preferred alternative to existing telephone and satellite data transmission
systems.
The Company expects that the first phase of the network will cost
approximately $120,000,000 and will link the following metropolitan regions:
New Orleans, Louisiana
Birmingham, Alabama
Atlanta, Georgia
Huntsville, Alabama
Chattanooga, Tennessee
Memphis, Tennessee
The Company plans to fund the cost of its planned network through joint
venture arrangements with third parties. The Company plans to provide initial
capital to this venture. The Company's third party members in the venture will
provide right-of-way access, equipment and engineering and other technical
services. The Company plans to raise the initial capital funds for the venture
through private placement sale of Company securities.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had entered into several preliminary
agreements with third parties relating to this network.
Pierce International, Inc., the Former Company and Business
The former Company, Pierce International, Inc. (PRCI), was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Colorado on July 22, 1987, for the purpose of
obtaining capital to pursue various business opportunities.
In October, 1999, PRCI entered into an Exchange Agreement with Pierce
Enterprises, Inc., by which PRCI agreed to transfer all of its assets to Pierce
Enterprises, Inc. in exchange for the assumption by Pierce Enterprises, Inc. of
all of PRCI's outstanding debt obligations. These include $156,462 due Piece D.
Parker, officer and director, or his company, Parker Consulting Services, and a
$200,000 accrued consulting fee obligation due Pierce D. Parker. Pierce
Enterprises, Inc. also agreed to indemnify PRCI against any future liabilities
related directly or indirectly to any of the assets being transferred. On
November 4, 1999, all the assets and liabilities of the Company were transferred
to Pierce Enterprises, Inc. Pierce Enterprises, Inc. is wholly owned by Pierce
D. Parker, and was formed solely for the purpose of assuming the liabilities of
the Company in exchange for the transfer of its assets. The Exchange Agreement
was approved by the shareholders of the Company at a special meeting held on
November 5, 1999. See Form 8-K, dated November 5, 1999. With this exchange, all
the businesses of PRCI were discontinued.
As of December 20, 1999, PRCI had 7,515,705 outstanding shares of common
stock and 80,000 outstanding shares of preferred stock. Each share of preferred
stock is convertible into one share of common stock.
Effective December 21, 1999, PRCI acquired all of the issued and
outstanding shares of NAS in exchange for 76,801,017 shares of PRCI's common
stock. The former shareholders of NAS became owners of a controlling interest in
PRCI. In connection with this transaction, the former management of PRCI
resigned and was replaced by the management of NAS.
Liquidity
Working capital at December 31, 1999, was negative $140,202. The Company
plans to continue to rely heavily on its current shareholders and option holders
to fund operations for the foreseeable future.
Results of Operations
During the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Company had net loss from
its current operations of $252,815. For the six-month period ending December 31,
1999, the Company had a net loss of $427,745. The Company started operations in
January, 1999, and did not have operations in 1998. These losses are due to the
incipient nature of the Company's operations and will likely continue for the
foreseeable future as the Company continues to expand its operations.
Revenues are currently derived from local Internet service (31%), local
pager and communication services (63%) and investment income (6%). Both these
business segments currently have positive operating margins. Management plans to
significantly expand its ISP and its communication and pager services along the
fiber optic network it plans. In addition, as of December 31, 1999, the Company
invested approximately $700,000 in its Remote Data and Storage business and
$58,325 for planning and engineering in its fiber optic venture affiliate, North
American InfoTech. Neither of these business are expected to have revenues until
the July-September quarter and are not planned to have for positive cash flows
until Spring 2001.
The Company has a computer programming staff that is currently providing
programming assistance to the other business segments. The Computer Program
Business Segment is negotiating contracts
