ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

Resources of the Pacific  Corporation  (the  "Company") was organized  under the
laws of the State of Nevada in April of 1987, under the name "10 Minute Pit Stop
USA,  Inc." The Company was formed for the purpose of  acquiring  and  operating
automotive  oil change  service  centers.  On April 30, 1987, the Company merged
with Value Funding Corporation,  a publicly-owned corporation that owned a chain
of oil change and lubrication  centers. In 1990, the Company changed its name to
Pit Stop Auto Centers, Inc.

From  inception  through  late 1991,  the Company  and its various  subsidiaries
operated  automotive  oil  change,  lubrication  and fluid  maintenance  service
centers in Phoenix,  Oklahoma City and various  locations in Texas.  On December
31, 1991, the Company sold all of its  properties,  inventories and other assets
used in the  operation  of its  service  centers  and  ceased to  operate in the
automotive   service  center  business.   Since  the  sale  of  its  assets  and
discontinuance  of its  automotive  service  business in  December of 1991,  the
Company's  operations  have been  limited to efforts in identify  and acquire an
operating business.

Pursuant to its efforts to acquire an operating  business,  on September 7, 1995
the Company  entered into an  Acquisition  Agreement  (the  "Acquisition")  with
Resources of the Pacific, Inc. ("ROP") pursuant to which:

     (1) The Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of ROP in
     exchange  for the  issuance  of  22,219,000  shares of common  stock of the
     Company;

     (2) The Articles of  Incorporation of the Company were amended by effecting
     a reverse split of the common stock on a ratio of one for twenty; and

     (3) The Company changed its name to "Resources of the Pacific Corporation."

Following  the  Acquisition,  on  October  7,  1995 the  Company  acquired  from
Resources of the Pacific  Ltd.  ("ROP  Ltd"),  a  subsidiary  of ROP, all of its
rights,  title and interest in certain joint  venture  timber  concessions  (the
"Timber  Rights")  for the  development  of timber  located in Fiji (the "Timber
Acquisition") in exchange for 1,350,000 shares of the Company's common stock and
ROP divested its entire interest in ROP Ltd.

Semper  intends  to  operate  as an active  timberland  manager,  while  seeking
competitively  higher  returns on  investment  as a producer of  hardwoods.  The
Company  believes  it is  good  business  to be  proactive  in  maintaining  the
environmental  integrity  and  sustain  ability  of the  timberlands  under  its
control.  It is intended that the concessions that Semper Resources acquire will
utilize selective cutting and reforestation techniques.

Semper's strategic  objective is to start with the acquisition of undeveloped or
under-developed  hardwood  timber  concessions.  Although  it is not  adverse to
exploring softwood timber concessions in countries where the Company already has
a presence,  Semper has targeted a segment of the lumber market which  currently
has significant  shortage of high quality  tropical  hardwood  timber.  Tropical
hardwoods  typically have higher margins than the highly  competitive and larger
softwood segment.

The Company intends to utilize joint venture concepts wherever possible in which
the  timber  on the  stump is the  partner  contribution  to the  venture.  This
approach provides for the partnering with the landowner in selective  harvesting
of timber and sharing  operating  margin with the  landowner,  or procuring  raw
material at favorable  allocations  or price.  Such is the  structure the Fijian
concessions.

FIJI

The  Company's  Fiji  project was to be a series of nine initial  joint  venture
timber  concessions  (approximately  40,000  acres)  in  which  nine  tribes  of
indigenous  people  contribute the standing  timber to be selectively  harvested
after the Company pays some governmental  fees. The tribes are paid a percentage
of the after milling net profit.

This Form 10-KSB contains forward looking  statements.  The actual results might
differ  materially  from those  projected  in the  forward  looking  statements.
Additional  information  concerning  factors that could cause actual  results to
materially  differ from those in forward looking  statements is contained in the
Company's  filings  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,  including
periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

The  Company's  only  property  and  assets are  Timber  Rights  from nine joint

exclusive rights to market wood products internationally. (See "Business").

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is not the subject of any material pending legal proceedings; and to

                          ------------------------------


Board of Directors and Stockholders
Semper Resources Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Semper Resources
Corporation (a development  stage company) and its subsidiary as of December 31,
1997  and  1996,  and  the  related   consolidated   statements  of  operations,
stockholders'  equity  and cash  flows  for the  years  then  ended  and for the
cumulative  period  from  January  1, 1992  through  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.  The financial  statements of Semper
Resources  Corporation  as of December 31, 1994 were  audited by other  auditors
whose report dated April 5, 1995 expressed an unqualified  opinion  including an
explanatory  paragraph stating a concern about the Company continuing as a going
concern. The financial statements of Semper Resources Corporation as of December
31, 1993 and 1992 were audited by other  auditors whose report dated October 16,
1994 expressed an unqualified opinion including an explanatory paragraph stating
a concern about the Company continuing as a going concern.

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  consolidated  financial  statements are
free of material  misstatement.  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 financial  position of Semper Resources
Corporation and its subsidiary as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results
of their  operations  and their  cash flows for the years then ended and for the
cumulative  period from January 1, 1992 through  December 31, 1997 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 6, Note 13, and
Note 17 to the financial  statements,  the Company has suffered recurring losses
from  operations  and has been  unable  to meet  its  obligations  which  raises
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.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                           December 31, 1997 and 1996

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     ------------------------------------------
     Organization and consolidation
     ------------------------------
     The  financial   statements   presented  are  those  of  Semper   Resources
     Corporation (the Company) and Resources of the Pacific,  Inc.  (Resources),
     its wholly owned subsidiary.

     The  Company  acquired  Resources  on  September  7, 1996 in an exchange of
     common stock. Prior to and in conjunction with the acquisition, the Company
     had a 1 for 20 reverse stock split.  The financial  statements  reflect the
     effects of this transaction.

     The  Company  was  organized  under  the laws of the  State of Nevada as 10
     Minute Pit Stop USA, Inc. in April,  1987.  On April 30, 1987,  the Company
     merged  with  Value  Funding  Corporation,  a public  corporation,  and the
     Company  was  designated  as  the  surviving  corporation.   Value  Funding
     Corporation  also owned a subsidiary,  6 Minute Pit Stop USA, Inc. The name
     of the Company was changed in April 1990 to Pit Stop Auto Centers, Inc., in
     September 1995 to Resources of the Pacific Corporation, then in May 1996 to
     Semper Resources Corporation.  The Company's subsidiary,  6 Minute Pit Stop
     USA, Inc.,  filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 1988. The Company  acquired a
     controlling  interest in Grease N' Go  International,  Inc.,  during  1987.
     During 1991,  the Company  disposed of its entire  interest in Grease N' Go
     International, Inc. The Company is currently considered a development stage
     company as defined in SFAS No. 7. The  Company  reentered  the  development
     stage during 1992 after  disposing of all its  operations  during 1991 (see
     Note 10).  The Company  currently  has no  operations,  and is  considering
     whether  to  sell  or  otherwise   dispose  of  the  joint  venture  timber
     concessions it acquired in 1995 (see Note 13).

     Property and equipment
     ----------------------
     Property and equipment are recorded at cost which is  depreciated  over the
     estimated  useful  lives of the related  assets.  Depreciation  is computed
     using the  straight-line  method for  financial  reporting  purposes,  with
     accelerated  methods used for income tax  purposes.  The  estimated  useful
     lives of property and equipment for purposes of financial reporting is 3 to
     5 years.

     Intangible assets
     -----------------
     Goodwill  consists of the excess  paid by the Company  over the fair market
     value of the net assets  acquired  from  Resources  and is being  amortized
     using the straight-line method over a 15 year period.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                           December 31, 1997 and 1996

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
     ------------------------------------------
     Loss per share
     --------------
     The  computation of loss per share of common stock is based on the weighted
     average number of shares  outstanding  during the period  presented  giving
     retroactive  effect  to the 1 for 20  reverse  stock  split.  Common  stock
     equivalents  were not  included in the earnings  per share  computation  as
     their effect was antidilutive.

     Statement of cash flows
     -----------------------
     For purposes of the  statement  of cash flows,  the Company  considers  all
     highly liquid debt investments purchased with a maturity of three months or
     less to be cash equivalents.

     Income taxes
     ------------
     The Company  accounts for its income taxes in accordance  with Statement of
     Financial  Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" which
     requires the liability approach for the effect of income taxes.

     Use of Estimates
     ----------------
     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
     accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated  financial
     statements  and  related  notes to  financial  statements.  Changes in such
     estimates may affect amounts reported in future periods.

2.   Acquisition
     -----------
     On September 7, 1996, the Company  acquired all of the  outstanding  common
     stock of Resources of the Pacific,  Inc. in exchange for 22,219,000  shares
     of the Company's common stock. The acquisition has been accounted for using
     the  purchase  method  and  accordingly,   the  accompanying   consolidated
     financial statements reflect this transaction at the date of acquisition.

3.   Property and Equipment
     ----------------------
     At December 31, 1997 and 1996 property and equipment  consisted entirely of
     office equipment at a cost of $2,000.  Accumulated  depreciation was $2,000
     at  December  31, 1997 and 1996.  Depreciation  expense for the years ended
     December  31,  1997 and 1996 was  recorded  in the  amount of $-0- and $-0-
     respectively.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                           December 31, 1997 and 1996

4.   Income Taxes
     ------------
     Effective  January 1, 1993,  the Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
     Accounting  Standards No. 109  "Accounting for Income Taxes" which requires
     the liability approach for the effect of income taxes.

     The Company has  available at December 31, 1997 unused net  operating  loss
     carryforwards  of  approximately  $3,450,000  which may be applied  against
     future taxable  income and which expire in various years  beginning in 2005
     through 2012.  If certain  substantial  changes in the Company's  ownership
     should  occur,  there  could be an annual  limitation  on the amount of net
     operating  loss  carryforward  which  can be  utilized.  The  amount of and
     ultimate   realization   of  the  benefits  from  the  net  operating  loss
     carryforwards  for income tax purposes is dependent,  in part, upon the tax
     laws in effect,  the  future  earnings  of the  Company,  and other  future
     events,  the  effects  of  which  cannot  be  determined.  Because  of  the
     uncertainty  surrounding  the  realization  of the loss  carryforwards  the
     Company has  established a valuation  allowance equal to the tax benefit of
     the loss  carryforwards.  The change in the valuation allowance is equal to
     the tax benefit of the current period's net loss.

5.   Related Party Transactions
     --------------------------
     At  December  31,  1997 and 1996 the  Company  owed  $4,290  and $4,100 for
     advances from related parties.

     The Company made various  issuances of common stock to related parties from
     1992 to 1996 (see Note 8).

     The Company  entered into a financing  agreement with  International  Bell,
     Inc. (Bell), a stockholder,  on September 7, 1995. At December 31, 1997 and
     1996 the unpaid balances were $50,000 and $50,000, respectively.

     On January 14, 1992,  $200,000 was loaned to the Company from an investment
     group  comprised  of an  independent  investment  firm,  the  wife  of  the
     president of the Company,  and the Company's  legal  counsel.  The loan was
     repaid on May 21, 1992 with $145,188, $67,471 and $10,354 being paid to the
     investment firm, the wife of the president of the Company and the Company's
     legal counsel,  respectively.  As part of the loan  agreement,  the Company
     issued its

     --------------------------
     treasury stock to the  investment  group with 16,250 shares being issued to
     the  investment  firm,  7,500 shares issued to the wife of the president of
     the Company, and 1,250 shares issued to the Company's legal counsel.

     In February of 1990 the Company  entered into an employment  agreement with
     its  President  covering  a five  year  period.  On  June  18,  1993,  in a
     transaction  approved  by the  Board  of  Directors,  the  Company  and its
     President  canceled the employment  agreement and transferred  title of the
     real  property  and  certificate  of  deposit  owned by the  Company to the
     president of the Company.  In addition to the real property and certificate
     of  deposit,  the  president  assumed  the  existing  mortgage  on the real
     property and all other liabilities attached to the real property. As of the
     date of these financial statements, the Company has no continuing liability
     with  respect to the  transferred  assets and related  liabilities  or with
     respect to the employment agreement.

6.   Going Concern
     -------------
     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
     generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate  continuation of
     the  Company  as  a  going  concern.  However,  the  Company  has  incurred
     significant  losses of $256,769 and  $406,818 for the years ended  December
     31, 1997 and 1996 and has not yet established profitable  operations.  This
     raises  substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a
     going concern.

7.   Notes Payable

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                           December 31, 1997 and 1996

8.   Capital Stock
     --------------
     On May 17,  1996,  the  Company  filed  amended  and  restated  Articles of
     Incorporation  increasing the authorized  common shares from  25,000,000 to
     100,000,000,  changing  the common  stock par value from $.005 to $.001 per
     share and authorizing 100,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of
     $.001 per share. The financial  statements reflect the change in the common
     stock par value.

     On May 17, 1996,  the Company also  designated  15,000  shares of Preferred
     Stock,  par value $.001 per share,  as Series A 12%  Convertible  Preferred
     Stock.  Holders of Series A stock are  entitled  to a dividend  of $120 per
     share per  year,  payable  semi-annually  in cash or in stock (at $1.50 per
     share),  at the Company's  option,  on November 15 and May 15 of each year.
     Series A stock has a liquidation  preference equal to $1,000 per share, are
     non-voting  shares,  and are  subject to  redemption,  at the option of the
     Company,  at any time after  December  31,1997 at $1,000 per share plus any
     accrued  dividends.  Holders  of Series A stock  have the option to convert
     each share held into 667 shares of common  stock on or before  January  31,
     1998.  At December 31, 1997 and 1996  dividends in arrears were $27,788 and
     $12,188 respectively.

     Public offering
     ---------------
     On July 31, 1990, the Company  successfully  completed a public offering of
     400,000 units for $10 per unit. Each unit consisted of two shares of common
     stock and one common stock purchase  warrant,  which when  exercised,  will
     entitle the holder to purchase one share of the Company's  common stock for
     $7.50 per share.  Commencing  March 31,  1991,  the  exercise  price of the
     warrants  was reduced to $3.50 per share.  The warrants may be exercised at
     any time from July 31, 1991 through July 31, 1997.  No stock  warrants were
     exercised.

     Related party stock transactions
     --------------------------------
     In January 1997,  the Board of Directors  awarded the  Company's  President
     warrants to purchase  50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
     $2.00 per share. The warrants may be exercised at any time over a five year
     period.

     On March 30, 1995,  the Company  issued  65,000  shares of its common stock
     valued  at $.075  per  share to the  Company's  President  for  payment  of
     advances in the amount of $4,850.  On June 30,  1995,  the  Company  issued
     440,000  shares  of its  common  stock  valued  at $.05 per  share,  to the
     Company's President for payment of advances in the amount of $22,000. These
     transactions occurred prior to the 1 for 20 reverse stock split.

     Related party stock transactions (continued)

     Company's  President  300,000  shares of common  stock valued at $.0533 per

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                           December 31, 1997 and 1996


10.  Development Stage Activity
     --------------------------
     The  Company  was  previously  involved  in the  operation  of car  service
     centers. In December of 1991 all remaining property,  inventories and other
     assets used in the  operations  of the service  centers  were sold.  During
     1992, the Company  reentered the development stage because it no longer had
     any planned principal operations. The sole business activity of the Company
     has been to acquire financing to develop the timber concessions it acquired
     in 1995.

11.  Commitments and Contingencies
     -----------------------------
     During September,  1992, Kay & Kay Associates,  an environmental consulting
     firm retained by the Company for the clean-up of a center in Oklahoma City,
     filed suit against the Company for nonpayment for their services. The total
     amount of their  suit  approximates  $18,000.  In May  1996,  this suit was
     settled and payment of  approximately  $18,000 was made.  This  expense has
     been included in the financial statements as an operating expense.

     A claim  against  the  Company  was  settled on March 8, 1993.  The dispute
     involved  a claim by B & K Fleet  Supply,  Inc.  for unpaid  materials  and
     supplies  delivered to the Company.  The Company did not oppose their claim
     and an arbitration  award of approximately  $10,000 with costs and attorney
     fees  included  was granted.  The $10,000  judgment has been accrued and is
     included in accounts payable.  As of December 31, 1997, the amount owed had
     not been paid.

     The Company is not  currently  aware of any material  pending or threatened
     litigation  which is  likely to have a  material  adverse  effect  upon the
     Company.  However, the possibility exists that creditors and others seeking
     relief from the Company's former  subsidiary and former operations may also
     include the Company in claims and suits  pursuant to the  parent/subsidiary
     relationship  which  previously  existed.  Management  believes it would be
     successful in defending  against such claims and that no material  negative
     impact on the financial condition of the Company would occur. Management is
     also not aware of any pending or threatened  claims against the Company for
     environmental  clean-up or environmental related contingencies and believes
     there are no  material  liabilities  that are  required  to be  accrued  or
     disclosed in connection with the clean-up of environmental  hazards related
     to the Company's prior operations.

12.  Stock Option Plan
     -----------------
     The Company has a stock option plan.  Under the plan,  non-qualified  stock
     options may be granted to key employees,  directors and executive  officers
     designated  by the Board of  Directors  (or a  committee  appointed  by the
     Board),  at exercise prices equal to at least 100% of the fair market value
     of the common  stock on the date of grant.  In  addition to  selecting  the
     optionees,  the Board (or such  committee)  determines the number of shares
     subject to each option and otherwise administers the Plan. There is a total
     of 105,000  shares  reserved for this stock  option  plan.  At December 31,
     1997, 55,000 shares remained available to be granted.

     Pursuant to the stock option plan, an Incentive Stock Option was granted on
     January 30, 1991 to the President of the Company, to purchase 50,000 shares
     of common  stock.  The exercise  period is from January 30, 1992 to January
     30, 1996, and the exercise  price is $1.69 per share.  At December 31, 1997
     no options had been exercised.

     Not pursuant to the plan, the Company granted a stock option on January 30,
     1991 to the  President of the Company to purchase  50,000  shares of common
     stock.  The  exercise  period is from January 30, 1992 to January 30, 1996,
     and the exercise price is $1.69 per share. At December 31, 1997, no options
     had been exercised.

13.  Joint Venture Timber Concessions
     --------------------------------
     On October 7, 1995, the Company acquired from Resources of the Pacific LTD.
     all of its rights,  title and  interest  in certain  joint  venture  timber
     concessions  for the  development  of timber  located in Fiji.  The Company
     issued 1,350,000 shares of its common stock valued at $5.258 per share. The
     Company  shall be  entitled to sixty (60)  percent of any profits  from the
     operations of these joint ventures.

     The Company has not begun  operation  of these  joint  ventures  and has no
     plans to do so. It has not fulfilled certain  requirements of the agreement
     and is presently  considering  whether to sell or otherwise  dispose of the
     concessions.

14.  Advances to Joint Venture Partners
     ----------------------------------
     During 1996,  the Company made  advances to its joint  venture  partners to
     cover certain  expenses in the amount of $109,995.  Some of these  advances
     were for 1997  operating  expenses and were expensed in 1997. The remaining
     advances of $79,330  will be repaid to the Company  from the Joint  Venture
     partners share of future operating profits.

15.  Acquisition/Rescission
     ----------------------
     In April,  1992, the Company entered into an acquisition  agreement wherein
     the Company issued  1,364,000  shares of common stock to acquire all of the
     issued and outstanding shares of Mountain View Benefits,  Inc., making it a
     wholly owned  subsidiary of the Company.  In October,  1992, both companies
     agreed to terminate and abandon the acquisition agreement because the terms
     of the acquisition had not been completed.

16.  Forfeited Acquisition Deposits
     ------------------------------
     In September  1996,  the Company  entered  into an Asset  Purchase and Sale
     Agreement with Fremont Forest Products (Fremont) to purchase  substantially
     all of the assets  utilized  by Fremont  in the  operation  of a lumber and
     building products dock terminal business. A deposit of $100,000 was paid on
     execution  of  this  agreement.   The  Company  was  unable  to  close  the
     acquisition  by the  stipulated  closing date in December  1996, and had to
     forfeit $80,000 of the deposit paid on execution of the agreement.

     In November 1996, the Company entered into a Purchase  Agreement to acquire
     real property  timber tracts  located in Brazil and all related  timber and
     harvesting rights. The Company paid the seller a $40,000 refundable deposit
     plus an additional  $10,000 non refundable  payment giving it the option to
     acquire additional tracts of land.

     In  1997,  the  Purchase  Agreement  was  cancelled  due  to  the  seller's
     non-performance  of  certain  obligations  and the  various  options in the
     agreement  expired.  The $40,000  refundable  deposit was  determined to be
     uncollectible and the entire $50,000 deposit was written off in 1997.

17.  Subsequent Events
     -----------------
     In March 1998 the Company  defaulted on the $50,000 in promissory  notes it
     borrowed  in  1997.  Under  the  terms  of the  notes,  the  interest  rate
     accelerated  to 18% effective  March 19, 1998. The lenders have made demand
     for payment but the Company has been unable to comply.
