Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Our discussion and analysis of the Business and subsequent discussion
of Financial Conditions may contain forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. Some of the statements contained in this Report are not
purely historical; but are forward-looking statements including, without
limitations, statements regarding Prime Resource, Inc. ("Prime's") expectations,
beliefs, estimates, intentions, anticipations and strategies about its future
and future financial performance and those of its subsidiaries. Words such as,
"anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes, "seeks," "estimates,"
or variations of such words and similar expressions, are intended to identify
such forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean the statement
is not forward-looking. These statements are not guarantees of future
performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions
that are difficult to predict; therefore, actual results may differ materially
from those expressed or forecasted in any such forward-looking statements as a
result of various factors. Specifically, and not in limitation of these factors,
Prime may alter its plans, strategies, objectives or business. This disclaimer
is made in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Reform act of 1995.
GENERAL AND HISTORICAL
Prime Resource, Inc. ("Prime"), as a corporate entity, was filed in
Utah on March 29, 2002; however, essentially the same business purposes were
engaged in by its predecessor entity, Prime Resource, LLC, a Utah limited
liability company, as organized in 1996, but which was not active until the 1998
acquisition of its present subsidiaries: Belsen Getty, LLC ("Belsen Getty") and
Fringe Benefit Analysts, LLC ("Fringe Benefit"). Mr. Scott Deru acted as the
manager for Prime LLC. From 1990 to 1998, Belsen Getty and Fringe Benefit
collaborated as independent corporations. In 1998 Prime LLC became the parent
and coordinating entity and the two operating companies also became wholly owned
limited liability companies of Prime, LLC and changed their business structure
from corporations to limited liability companies owned by Prime LLC. Prime
Retirement Services, LLC ("Prime Ret.") was formed on July 3, 2003 after the
initial public offering by Prime, which offering became effective on June 16,
2003. Prime Ret. was formed with expectation to provide daily valuation services
to qualified retirement plans and related software, but is not yet active.
As part of the 1998 reorganization of Prime, LLC, Mr. Scott Deru and
Mr. Terry Deru each contributed their 50% ownership interest in Fringe Benefit
to Prime. Mr. Terry Deru and Mr. William Campbell each contributed their 50%
ownership interest in Belsen Getty to Prime and Mr. Don Deru, the father of
Scott and Terry Deru, contributed capital. The resulting ownership percentages
in Prime, LLC. were Scott and Terry Deru at 36 1/2% each; Mr. William Campbell
at 23% and Mr. Don Deru 4%. Prime, LLC was later dissolved of record in April,
2002 after transferring all assets to Prime, Inc. in anticipation of a public
offering of its shares.
Fringe Benefit was formed and licensed in November, 1984 in Utah as a
general insurance agency. The company initially was formed and operated as a
Utah corporation with Mr. Scott Deru as its president. It was jointly owned by
Scott Deru and Terry Deru from inception. It was converted to a Limited
Liability Corporation in 1988. Fringe Benefit concentrated upon developing
3
software to analyze employee benefits and writing insurance for business related
purposes, such as key man life policies, group health plans and related
insurance. Mr. Scott Deru and Mr. Terry Deru remained joint owners from 1984 to
1998 when their ownership was acquired by Prime, LLC.
From 1998 forward, Fringe Benefit started collaborating closely with
Belsen Getty LLC, which was also formed in 1998 to primarily engage in
investment advisory services, business consulting and financial planning. Belsen
Getty was initially formed in 1990 as a corporation. Belsen Getty, which was and
is engaged as an investment advisor to individuals and firms and pension and
related plans, frequently referred clients to Fringe Benefit when insurance
funding was required. In like manner, Fringe Benefit would frequently refer
insurance clients needing business planning and investment advisory services to
Belsen Getty. However, neither firm operates upon an exclusive basis as to these
referrals.
Belsen Getty, Inc. was formed on November 9, 1990 by Mr. William Campbell
and Mr. Terry Deru as a Utah successor to a Nevada corporation. Mr. Terry Deru
joined the firm in the summer of 1985 and purchased a 50% interest in Belsen
Getty, Inc. of Nevada from Mr. Campbell. All interest in Belsen Getty, Inc. was
transferred to Belsen Getty LLC in 1998 which was then exclusively owned by
Prime LLC. Mr. Terry Deru received a 36 1/2% interest in Prime and Mr. Campbell
a 23% interest in Prime.
In order to take advantage of some economies of scale and to work more
cohesively in cross-selling to the respective client base of Belsen Getty, Inc.
and Fringe Benefit, the foregoing reorganization occurred in 1998. Prime
Resource, LLC (an LLC organized on June 27, 1996, but having no real business
activity) was used as a holding company for the newly formed entities of Belsen
Getty, LLC and Fringe Benefit, LLC. These subsidiary entities were formed on
October 2, 1998 and became the successor firms for Belsen Getty, Inc. and Fringe
Benefit, respectively, each being wholly owned by Prime Resource, LLC.
Mr. William Campbell became associated with Prime Resource LLC in 1998
resulting from a minimal cash contribution and his fifty per cent interest in
Belsen Getty. He received a 23% interest in Prime LLC.
In January, 2002 Prime LLC purchased all of Mr. Campbell's interest in
Prime for $100,000. The prior Campbell interest was assigned to Andrew Limpert
on January 10, 2002 in consideration for the acknowledgment of Limpert's
advisory and organizational services which were valued at $113,000. The 26
percent (26%) membership share of the Company issued to Mr. Limpert was
accounted for as compensation expense and is included in "compensation and
benefits" in the statement of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2002.
The value of the share of the Company issued to Mr. Limpert was based on what
the Company was required to pay a former member, Mr. William Campbell, for his
23 percent share of the Company, in connection with the Company's termination
and buy-out of Mr. Campbell effective January 1, 2002. Mr. Don Deru, the father
of Scott and Terry Deru, held a 4% interest in Prime LLC since inception and
exchanged his interest in Prime LLC for a 1.8% interest in Prime, Inc.
4
In March, 2002, Prime LLC decided to incorporate in Utah in
anticipation of its initial public offering and issued in April, 2002 to Mr.
Limpert 750,000 shares of its common stock, (26% of the issued and outstanding)
for his prior and continuing consulting services for and to Prime. The other
stockholders are Mr. Terry Deru, 1,000,000 shares; Mr. Scott Deru, 1,000,000
shares; and Mr. Don Deru, 50,000 shares. Fringe Benefit and Belsen Getty
continued under their existing LLC structure as wholly owned subsidiaries of
Prime, Inc. with Mr. Terry Deru continuing as the manager of Belsen Getty and
Mr. Scott Deru for Fringe Benefit.
As limited liability companies, the historical revenues of Belsen
Getty, LLC and Fringe Benefit, LLC have flowed through to its member and sole
owner, Prime Resource, LLC. Within Prime the revenues, after payment of all
operating costs and wages and allowance for working capital reserves, were
divided between Mr. Scott Deru, Mr. Terry Deru and Mr. William Campbell, in
accordance with their limited liability ownership percentage, through December
31, 2001.
It was determined, upon incorporation of Prime Resource, Inc., that
the form of compensation and revenue transfer described by the prior paragraph
will no longer be feasible and that the corporation will need to retain and
report its income, if any, after salaries, overhead and other expenses as
retained earnings. Further, Prime, Inc. has now entered into an employment
contract with its three principal officers, as generally described under the
Executive Compensation Section. In their respective capacities, management will
be paid a fixed salary.
Mr. Terry Deru, in addition to acting for Prime as its President and
Chief Executive Officer, will also continue to act as the Manager and principal
operator of Belsen Getty. Mr. Scott Deru will also devote a substantial majority
of his time to the business affairs of Fringe Benefit and such other time as
necessary as a corporate officer of Prime. It is anticipated that Mr. Terry Deru
will then assume most of the day-to-day management responsibilities for Prime.
Mr. Limpert will coordinate most governmental filings and reporting duties for
Prime, as well as continuing with Belsen Getty as a consultant. Mr. Terry Deru
will act as the manager for Prime Ret., LLC.
Over the past three years, Belsen Getty has contributed approximately
14 % of the present revenues to Prime and Fringe Benefit has contributed the
remaining 86% of net revenue to Prime. As noted above, Prime, LLC was dissolved
in April, 2002 upon the transfer of assets to Prime, Inc. Prime, Inc., like its
predecessor, Prime LLC, is not anticipated to generate any independent sources
of revenue or income. All salaries and benefits in Belsen Getty and Fringe
Benefit have been and will be paid directly by Prime. The future contribution to
revenues by Prime Retirement, as a start-up entity, has not yet been determined.

Initial Public Offering (IPO):
The company completed its initial public offering in July, 2003
pursuant to all SEC, SB-2 registration in which it raised $750,000 in gross
proceeds and $709,664 in net proceeds. It has only expended, as of March 1,
2005, approximately $304,854 or approximately 43 % of net proceeds. The
expenditure of offering proceeds is more particularly treated under the Rule 463
disclosures of Management's Plan of Operation.
Belsen Getty Business
Belsen Getty is a Utah financial management company offering investment
advisory services, financial planning, pension and retirement planning and
general business consulting and planning for firms or individuals who may
participate to the extent they deem appropriate in any of these financial
products and services. Belsen Getty was originally formed as a Nevada
corporation in 1990. Belsen Getty remained active until 1996, was a lapsed
corporation continuing to conduct business from 1996 to 1998 when it was
reorganized as a Utah limited liability company. Belsen Getty has continued to
date as a Utah limited liability company as previously described in the Company
history. Belsen Getty manages assets primarily under a fee based management
system. Belsen Getty uses sophisticated modeling software to complete its
investment advisory aspects of its services to clients who wish it to manage
their funds for various pension and retirement or other offered plans. In this
capacity, Belsen Getty also acts as an investment advisory firm.
Belsen Getty also has expertise in providing consulting services for
retirement planning, pension and general business financing and planning.
Belsen Getty offers its services to individuals retirement accounts,
trust accounts, as well as creating 401(k) plans and other pension plans for
corporate clients. These services may range from simple cash management to
complex custom growth portfolio planning for wealthy individuals or businesses.
Belsen Getty markets through several mediums. First, the firm has a
sophisticated database for tracking services to clients, prospects and business
associates. This tracking assures each client and prospect are contacted monthly
by mail and at least quarterly by phone or in person. Second, prospects that go
into this tracking system are located in several ways, such as referrals from
existing clients, referrals from other business associates and referrals from
Fringe Benefit Analysts, as well as direct mailing and educational seminars. To
a limited extent, the firm currently engages in prospect mailings and may
explore other media advertising.
In November of 2002, Belsen Getty received 684,000 restricted common stock
in an inactive public company known as Mortgage Professionals Lead Source, Inc.
(MPLS) incident to consulting and advisory services provided to MPLS by Andrew
Limpert. MPLS became known as Neuro Bioscience, Inc. (NBI) pursuant to an
acquisition of this private company. The shares were issued and held in the name
of Prime Resource, Inc., the parent entity to Belsen Getty, by informal
assignment from Andrew Limpert who performed the consulting services as an
employee of Belsen Getty. While Limpert acted to locate the acquired company,
NBI, neither he nor Belsen Getty had a contractual duty to locate or provide
6
such entity as part of his consulting services or entitlement to earn the shares
for consulting services to MPLS. At present there is limited public trading by
NBI. The operations of NBI are in the early development stage and management has
estimated the value of the shares at 15% of the comparable freetrading shares.
Any gains realized by Prime from the disposition of NBI shares will be
recognized at the time of sale or disposition. Gains actually realized upon
disposal of the shares through sales could vary from a loss of $10,000 to a gain
of $1.3 Million based on a non discounted share value.
Belsen Getty is currently managed by Mr. Terry Deru and has seven
full-time and one part-time employee.
Fringe Benefit Analysts Business
Fringe Benefit is primarily a diversified independent insurance broker
which provides various lines of insurance, such as health, life, dental,
disability, etc., as needed by its clients to fund various business, as well as
employee related programs and plans. Fringe Benefit also intends in the future
to engage in recruiting independent agents, rolling up and acquiring existing
health care insurance agencies and/or their book of business.
Fringe Benefit currently has thirteen full-time employees, two
part-time employee and over fifty-two sub-agents who act as independent
contractors in various insurance lines. Part of the proceeds raised in the IPO
are intended to be used to retain and recruit additional agents. Funding for
anticipated future acquisitions will come from the anticipated acquisition
reserves to be held by Prime. There are no present acquisition agreements,
candidates, proposals or negotiations. Fringe Benefit has not historically, nor
does it presently intend, to engage in any acquisition of an insurance or other
business from any related or affiliated party.
Fringe Benefit is currently managed by Mr. Scott Deru, has fifteen
employees and approximately 52 agents.
Prime Retirement Services Business:
Prime Retirement Services intends to provide daily update services for
qualified plans and the creation of software related to such plans. In this
capacity, it would have a synergistic relationship with Belsen Getty, who
frequently acts as an investment advisor for the various pension or retirement
plans which may be set up by Prime Retirement Services and with Fringe Benefit
Analysts who provide a substantial amount of any of the insurance products
tailored to the plans and programs created by Belsen Getty. Prime Retirement was
formed in July of 2003, but does not yet have revenues, nor can it competently
report what percentage of total revenues, if any, it will generate for the
parent entity, Prime. This entity is a development stage company conducting
initial research of the intended business activities and software related to
qualified plans.
At the present, Prime Retirement has no independent employees.

PRODUCTS AND MARKETS
I. Prime Resource, Inc.
As the parent management entity for its subsidiaries, Prime does not
have any significant independent income and derives its income from its
subsidiary operations as defined and described previously and below. Prime does
not independently market any service or product, but acts solely and exclusively
through its operating subsidiaries as more specifically described under the
following paragraphs. Prime is generally responsible for the payment from
subsidiary income of all general operating expenses of the consolidated
companies.
II. Belsen Getty, LLC
Belsen Getty is a Utah financial advisory company offering investment
advice, financial planning as well as pension and retirement planning and
general business consulting. Belsen Getty acts both for individuals and firms
who may participate to the extent they deem appropriate in any of these
financial products and services.
For the calendar year ending 2004 Belsen Getty would estimate that
approximately $628,948 or 12% of Prime's revenues were derived from Belsen Getty
activities. Of these amounts approximately $357,980 or 57 % of its revenues were
derived from direct financial advisory services, approximately $270,968 or 43%
were derived from pension retirement consulting services. Approximately 15 % of
the business performed by Belsen Getty is a direct result of referrals by the
other Prime subsidiaries, Fringe Benefit Analysts and Prime Retirement Services,
LLC.
III. Fringe Benefit Analysts, LLC
Fringe Benefit Analysts has become the primary insurance arm for the
Prime companies. It has a synergistic relationship in that it provides insurance
coverage to various pension and retirement plans developed by Prime Retirement
Services and to a lesser extent, by Belsen Getty.
Fringe Benefit estimates that for calendar year 2004 that its total
contribution to the revenues of Prime were approximately $4,780,855 or 88%.
Approximately 27 % of the services performed by Fringe Benefit Analysts are a
direct result of referrals by Belsen Getty.
IV. Prime Retirement Services, LLC
Prime Retirement Services, LLC is a start-up subsidiary corporation of
Prime which may engage in daily accounting and reporting services for pension
and related plans and the development of related software which it hopes to
independently sell as an additional revenue source.
Prime Retirement Services has not generated any revenues from its
start-up in the summer of 2003 to date; and, therefore, cannot report its
percentage of earnings as a percentage of the whole of revenues to the parent
company, Prime, Inc. at the present time.
8
V. Red Rock, LLC
Red Rock, LLC is a holding entity owned by Prime that captures certain
commissions generated through referrals to property & casualty insurance agents.
In 2004, collections in Red Rock were $2,049 and have been included in Fringe
Benefit Analysts revenues. There are no separate employees for Red Rock.
PLAN OF OPERATION
Prime intends generally to attempt to continue to grow and expand each
phase of its related business practices by internal growth through the
application of retained earnings to expand services and acquire new clients. In
addition to the standard growth anticipated through retained earnings, Prime may
also employ a substantial portion of the net proceeds from its recent IPO. The
company currently has approximately $373,471 of its initial net offering
proceeds of $709,664.00 left for business expansion and operations. As more
specifically outlined in the Use of Proceeds section of its IPO, it presently
intends to use a substantial portion of these net proceeds, as market conditions
allow, to acquire compatible insurance companies or individual agents who have
an existing book of business and to expand its existing marketing efforts. These
intended allocations may be affected by current merger or acquisition proposals
being considered by the company, but concerning which there is no definitive
agreement as of the date of filing of this report. See following Section 8B for
further discussion and information on alternative business possibilities.
To date, Prime has not expended the majority of its offering proceeds
in making acquisitions as intended due to the softness of the insurance market.
If the company is successful in this proposed business activity, it would
necessarily mean that the greatest increase in the company's size and revenue
base would most likely occur in the Fringe Benefit Analysts subsidiary.
Secondary to the direct acquisition of the insurance businesses and
lines will be the further training and enhancement of independent insurance
agents and other employees for which a significant portion of the proceeds of
the offering have been reserved.
SPECIFIC BUSINESS PLAN
It should be emphasized that the anticipated and projected growth of
each of the divisions would occur both through internal financing from
anticipated retained earnings and from proceeds of the offering as more
particularly set-out in the Proceeds Section of the company's initial public
offering which may be reviewed online as an SEC filing at www.sec.gov/edgar or a
copy of the Prospectus for the earlier registration may be obtained directly
from the company by any interested party or shareholder. It needs to be further
emphasized that growth of each of the entities is deemed to be symbiotic and
that growth in one division should have, because of referral services, a
positive growth effect on other divisions, though no warranty or assurance of
this relationship can be made.
9
Finally with regard to Fringe Benefit Analysts, its growth is dependent
upon four principal insurance underwriters or providers for the insurance
policies written by this subsidiary. These include: Altius Insurance, United
Health Care, Intermountain Health Care and Regence Blue Cross.
COMPETITIVE FACTORS
All of the business areas in which the company operates (Belsen Getty
in financial advisory services and planning; Prime Retirement Services in
planning and implementing retirement and pension plans for various business
entities; and Fringe Benefit Analysts which is primarily engaged in insurance
programs related to business and retirement planning) are highly competitive
industry segments. In each of these business segments, the company is faced with
competition from larger and better capitalized companies such as Marsh &
McClellen and AON Corporation in the applicable insurance lines offered by the
company; Merrill Lynch & Co. and Smith Barney in the financial advisory and
consulting areas. In the business of pension planning services competition
arises from many large public accounting firms and law firms.
Each of these competitive and related competitive entities may pose a
significant competitive risk to the company in that they may be able, because of
size and scale, to provide additional services, as well as providing the same
services at a lower per unit cost to various customers of the client.
Prime believes that it may remain competitive in these industries due
to some unique incentive programs which it employs, but can give no assurance or
warranty that it will ultimately be successful in competing in any of the given
areas in which it has elected to provide business services.
Fringe Benefit joined United Benefit Advisors ("UBA"). UBA is a
national affiliation of independent health insurance providers. It is hoped that
this affiliation may bring national programs and insurance carriers to the
markets Fringe Benefit serves that were not previously available and may create
discounts on software and other insurance industry related services. Fringe
Benefit hopes that this affiliation may enhance its competitive position in the
relevant market.
NUMBER OF PERSONS EMPLOYED
As listed above, Prime has attempted to break out under the general
description of each business subsidiary the number of persons employed by each
business subsidiary. In the aggregate, the Prime organizations employ 21
full-time personnel, 3 part-time personnel and approximately 52 insurance agents
as of the date of this report. These numbers also include officers of the
corporation employed on a full-time basis.
No projection of future employees or agents which may be required, in
addition to those described above, can be determined until the nature and extent
of the acquisition and other business expansion which is projected for the
10
company has been determined. Changes in employment are reported by Prime as part
of its annual 10-KSB Report and may be included where deemed significant in the
various quarterly or special reports filed by the company with the SEC.
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
Prime does not regard itself as operating primarily in industries with
a high degree of environmental risk exposure or environmental regulation by
various governmental entities. However, the Board of Directors has reviewed with
legal counsel and determined, at the present time, there is no known
environmental compliance regulations to which the company in its present lines
of business would be subject other than customary safety standards in the
workplace discussed below. The company maintains a policy of reviewing
periodically with various legal counsel any potential environmental disclosures,
filings or other regulatory requirements which may arise with regard to the
company. The company's office workers are subject to various state and local
regulations on employment conditions, as well as common standards for the office
environment place which may be imposed by the Occupation and Safety and Health
Administration ("OSHA") and the United States Environmental Protection Agency
("EPA"). To the best of the knowledge of the company's present management, the
company is fully in compliance with all safety, health and OSHA standards for
its office workers and insurance sales agents.
GOVERNMENTAL COMPLIANCE
Each of the areas in which the company presently operates is subject to
some specific governmental regulation. For instance, to provide investment
advisory services, Belsen Getty must maintain a licensure within the state of
Utah and the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as a registered
investment advisor and has maintained that status incident to the services
provided.
Fringe Benefit Analysts, as an insurance provider, is subject to
licensing and regulation by various state insurance departments where it
conducts business and has maintained in a current status its licensing
requirements as a general insurance agency.
Prime Retirement Services is not now known to be presently subject to
any specific licensing or regulatory requirements, but confers periodically with
legal counsel to make sure it is not engaging in any type of business practice
which would constitute an illegal practice of law or engage in any violations of
regulatory statutes for business and pension planning by an independent business
entity. Prime, as a collective entity, is a public company subject to various
reporting and regulatory requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC").
11
REPORT ON INITIAL PUBLIC FINANCING
As generally described above, the company completed its initial public
offering in July, 2003 in which it raised gross proceeds of $750,000 resulting
in net proceeds to the company after offering related costs of $709,664.00. As
of March 1, 2005, the company has expended approximately $336,193 of net
offering proceeds in accordance with its use of proceeds guidelines contained in
the initial public offering and has available for future expenditure the
remaining balance of approximately $373,471. This report of the current
expenditure and application of offering proceeds is made in accordance with SEC
Rule 463. Any interested shareholder or other qualified party wishing to review
a more specific breakdown and application of the proceeds of the offering by the
company to date may obtain a copy on request from management of the company at
the address indicated on the cover page of this annual report.
As previously noted, the company in 2004 and the first quarter of 2005
did not employ any substantial offering proceeds for the acquisition of new
insurance companies or "books of business" due to the generally weak insurance
market and opportunities which management thought were unattractive. The company
is further deferring expenditures of offering proceeds pending the outcome of
current merger or acquisition discussions.
Item 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Prime presently maintains a leasehold estate in business suites located
at 1245 East Brickyard Road, Suite 590, Salt Lake City, Utah. Prime leases
approximately 3,239 square feet of lease space with a remaining 3.5 year term on
its present lease in an office tower at this location. Within this office space
it has approximately four separate offices, together with two conference rooms
and secretarial and support staff areas. The monthly lease payment is currently
$4,928 month.
In addition to the foregoing leasehold estate, Prime owns various
office and furnishings and equipment which would value at approximately $162
903.
Prime does not have any other place of business nor does it anticipate
moving its principal place of business at any time in the foreseeable future.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Prime does not have any legal actions or claims in which the company is
presently engaged.
12
Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

shareholder meeting until June of 2004. In its June 2004 Shareholder Meeting,
Prime shareholders elected the current Board and ratified the continuation of
the current auditors to the company. Any interested party may review the minutes
of that meeting and obtain a copy by contacting the company.

On December 31, 2004 Prime had assets of $1,569,165. At December 31,
2004, the company's current assets totaled $1,290,925 compared to current
liabilities of $481,953. Working capital at December 31, 2004 totaled $808,972,
an increase of 14% compared to $710,536 at December 31, 2003. The company had a
current ratio at December 31, 2004 of approximately 2.7. The long-term debt of
the company as of December 31, 2004 was $32,277 and the retained earnings were
13
$225,263. As of December 31, 2004, its approximate market valuation was $
16,284,950 based upon limited trading.
At December 31, 2004, there were no significant commitments for capital
expenditures, though the company intends to continue with expenditure of its net
proceeds from its public offering in accordance with the general description
contained previously in this Annual Report and more specifically in accordance
with the Use of Proceeds sections of the registration statement, subject to the
prior discussion and notice of ongoing merger and acquisition negotiations.
Prime, should it continue in its existing business, intending to
primarily grow its insurance company portion of its business through the net
proceeds of the public offering and to apply other estimated net earnings for
calendar year 2005 to the growth of other aspects of its business. The company
will attempt to allocate net earnings to different aspects of its business
growth as it shall determine in accordance with its independent business
discretion.
At present, Prime has no financing commitments or other significant
long term debt. The company believes it can continue to operate with modest
growth based upon its employment of the offering proceeds and retained earnings
as described by the preceding paragraph. The company has no present intent to
engage in any further borrowing or capital formation activities for the
foreseeable future. The company further has no standing line of credit or other
credit facility.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
If the company was required in the future to raise additional capital,
it would have to either attempt to engage in another sale of its capital stock
through a registered offering, seek private placement financing or seek to
obtain one or more lines of credit for debt financing. As noted previously, the
company has no plans to engage in any type of capital or debt creation for the
foreseeable future.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues for 2004 totaled $5,426,464, an increase of $1,579,970 from
calendar year 2003. There was also $9,868 in realized and unrealized gains in
trading securities, approximately $4,020 of which are unrealized. Net income for
2004 totaled $131,112 compared to $ 101,851 in 2003. The increase in revenues
and net earnings was due primarily to growth of the business activities of the
company and particularly the writing of more insurance policies with higher
average profit margins. Prime realized more modest growth in its Belsen Getty
financial consulting and planning sectors. The individual sector revenue and
profit breakdowns for these subsidiaries are set-out as follows:

Critical Accounting Estimates
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America. In
preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities and disclosures as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and
expenses for the period. Actual results could significantly differ from those
estimates. Significant estimates that may change dramatically in the near term
are estimates of unrealized gains and losses on trading securities, estimates of
the fair values of investments in non trading securities and resulting deferred
tax assets and liabilities, as well as the value of shares received for
services. Gains actually realized upon the eventual disposal of these
investments could vary from a loss of $10,000 to a gain of $1.3 million based on
non-discounted share values.
The large commission accruals as they related to revenue recognition
are not considered a critical accounting estimate due to the short term nature
of the accrual. Monthly commission revenue is paid one month after the accrual
occurs and is no longer an estimate but a known amount prior to the period
accounting statements preparation. Insignificant premium chargebacks also tend
to be self correcting in a short period of time and are largely known prior to
financial report preparation.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement
133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 amends and
clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for
hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 is generally effective for
contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging
relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of this pronouncement
did not have a present impact on the company's financial condition or results of
operations.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS
No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer measures certain financial
instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and requires
that an issuer classify a financial instrument within its scope as a liability
(or asset in some circumstances). SFAS No. 150 was effective for financial
instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise was
effective and adopted by the company on July 1, 2003. As the company has no such
instruments, the adoption of this statement did not have a present impact on the
company's financial condition or results of operations.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The primary risk faced by the Prime is the market risks from larger and
better capitalized companies engaging in the same services which the company
provides at a lower price or other competitive advantage to the company.
Secondly, Prime faces some risk arising out of operating within tightly
regulated areas of industry which may be subject to limitations and controls by
various governmental regulatory authorities.
Thirdly, Prime is experiencing a limitation on its growth potential to
the extent present management is not finding suitable growth opportunities by
expanding its insurance base through acquisitions paid from net offering
proceeds.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors
Prime Resource, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Prime Resource,
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 audit provides 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 Prime Resource, Inc.
and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 12, certain errors resulting in overstatement of previously
reported unrealized gains as of December 31, 2004, were discovered by management
of the Company during the current year. Accordingly, the 2004 financial
statements have been restated to correct the errors.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Business Activity
Prime Resources, Inc. (the Company), is a 100 percent owner of Belsen Getty,
LLC, (Belsen Getty), and Fringe Benefits Analysts, LLC, (FBA), with offices in
Salt Lake City and Layton, Utah, respectively. Belsen Getty is a fee-only
financial management firm, providing investment advice to high-wealth
individuals and employee groups in connection with company retirement plans. FBA
sells group and employee benefit products, primarily health insurance, to
employers and individuals throughout Utah.
Reorganization
On April 4, 2002, the Company was reorganized from a limited liability company
to a corporation. The Company was authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of a
single class of common stock with no par value. The Company issued 2,800,000 of
such shares to existing members representing the entire ownership interest of
the Company at the time of incorporation. As there was no change in control of
the organization, the value of the stock, issued in the reorganization, was
based on the net book value of the predecessor organization of approximately
$197,763, as of March 31, 2002. Accordingly, there was no change in the recorded
book values of Company assets or liabilities due to the reorganization.
Basis of Financial Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Prime
Resource, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Belsen Getty, LLC and Fringe
Benefits Analysts, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Uses of Estimates
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America. In
preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities and disclosures as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and
expenses for the period. Actual results could significantly differ from those
estimates. Significant estimates that may change dramatically in the near term
are estimates of unrealized gains and losses on trading securities, estimates of
the fair values of investments in non trading securities and resulting deferred
tax assets and liabilities, as well as the value of shares received for
services. Gains actually realized upon the eventual disposal of these
investments could vary from a loss of $10,000 to a gain of $1.3 million based on
non-discounted share values.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of checking and money market accounts. For
purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid
instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003 cash and cash equivalents of
$335,861 and $308,336, respectively, were either not covered by federal
insurance or exceeded those limits.
F-7
1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are estimates of commissions and fees due to the Company for
insurance sales and investment advice earned but not yet received. No allowance
for bad debts has been established for any of these amounts as the process for
recording receivables is based on reviews and analysis of actual historical cash
receipts. This cash receipt analysis takes into account both bad debt and
potential charge backs on premium cancellations and excludes them from
receivables balances when recording revenues and trade receivables. Management
estimates that bad debts and charge backs are immaterial and do not change
significantly from period to period. Accordingly, an additional reserve at any
point in time is not considered necessary.
Trading Securities and Investments
Trading securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains or
losses on trading securities are reported on the statement of operations. A
decline in the market value of the securities below cost that is deemed other
than temporary is charged to earnings resulting in the establishment of a new
cost basis for the security.
Investments in Non-Trading Securities
Investments that don't qualify as trading securities or available for sale
securities under SFAS 115, as they are non-public companies for which we do not
exert significant influence or public securities for which sale is restricted
are included in Investments in non-trading securities in the consolidated
balance sheet and are accounted for under the cost method. For these
investments, we regularly review the assumptions underlying the operating
performance and cash flow forecasts based on information requested from these
companies. Generally, this information may be more limited, may not be as timely
as and may be less accurate than information available from publicly traded
companies. Assessing each investment's carrying value requires significant
judgment by management. If it is determined that there is an
other-than-temporary decline in the fair value of a security, we write-down the
investment to its fair value and record the related write-down as an loss on
investments in the consolidated statement of operations.
Leasehold Improvements and Equipment
Leasehold improvements and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is
calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
depreciable assets as follows:
Years
Automobiles 5
Furniture & equipment 5-7
Computer software & equipment 3-5
Management reviews its leasehold improvements and equipment for impairment on an
annual basis and records any related loss on impairments at the time any
impairment is recognized.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Notes Receivable
Notes receivable consisted of one note for $40,000 at December 31, 2004 and
2003. This note has a stated interest rate of 10% per year on outstanding
principle resulting in $11,333 in interest receivable on the balance sheet. The
note requires no payments of principal or interest and is due with all
outstanding principal and accrued interest on March 1, 2007. Interest is accrued
on notes receivable according to the terms of the note. Management evaluates
each note on an annual basis or sooner if necessary to determine the financial
status of the note holder. Upon a determination that there is doubt as to the
collectibility of any or all portions of principal and interest due, the Company
will write off of the applicable accrued interest and an allowance is
established against the principal amount determined uncollectible as estimated
by management. The Company charged off notes receivable during the year ended
December 31, 2003 in the amount of $7,721.
Income Taxes
The Company became subject to income taxation effective April 4, 2002 when it
was converted from a limited liability company to a corporation. Prior to the
Company's reorganization, the income tax liability was the responsibility of the
individual members.
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be settled or recovered. The effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
the period that includes the enactment date.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenues from two primary sources, commissions on the sale
of insurance and fees on the provision of investment advice.
Fees from the provision of investment advice are billed and earned based on an
agreed upon percentage of the fair value of investment portfolios under
management. Such fees are typically one percent per year, and are calculated and
billed on a monthly basis at one twelfth of one percent of the fair value of
investments under management as of the beginning of each calendar month, and are
recognized as revenue in the month billed.
Revenues, in the form of commissions, are earned on brokered sales of group and
individual health insurance products under agency marketing agreements with
applicable health insurance providers. Commissions are generally collected on a
monthly basis and are recognized as revenue in the month for which the related
insurance premiums apply. Commissions earned by the Company are split, at
management's discretion, between the Company and its licensed agents, on a
case-by-case basis. The Company recognizes the full amount of commissions
received under its agency agreements as commission revenue and the portion paid
to its licensed agents as commission expense.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Credit Risks and Concentrations
The Company's primary customers are individuals and small to medium sized
businesses that may be affected by changes in economic conditions. The Company
believes that approximately 99% of its customers are geographically based in
Utah. The Company has no client that accounts for more than 4% of its revenues.
The Company's largest insurance carriers that pay the commissions on insurance
sales generate 34%, 29%, and 11% of its annual insurance commissions revenues.
Investment advisory fees make up approximately 11% of the Company's total
revenues and no one individual or customer accounts for more than approximately
7% of that revenue.
Earnings Per Share
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128 (SFAS No.
128), "Earnings per Share", which is effective for annual periods ending after
December 15, 1997. Earnings per share (EPS) are computed based on the weighted
average number of shares actually outstanding. Basic earnings per share and
fully diluted earnings per share are the same as there are no common stock
equivalents outstanding as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December of 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - An Amendment of FASB Statement No.
123." FAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change
to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation. In addition, the statement amends the disclosure requirement of
Statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim
financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.
In April, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 amends and
clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for
hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 is generally effective for
contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging
relationships designated after June 30, 2003.
In May, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150
establishes standards for how an issuer measures certain financial instruments
with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and requires that an issuer
classify a financial instrument within its scope as a liability (or asset in
some circumstances). SFAS No. 150 was effective for financial statements entered
into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise was effective and adopted by
the Company in 2003.
None of the above new pronouncements have current application to Prime, but may
be applicable to Prime's future financial reporting.

2. Trading Securities and Investments in Non-Trading Securities
Trading securities comprise investments in mutual funds and common stocks as of
December 31, 2004. The cost basis of trading securities at December 31, 2004
totaled $4,943. Unrealized gains on such securities for the year ended December
31, 2004 and 2003 totaled $4,020 and $1,927, respectively. Realized gains for
the year ended December 31, 2004 totaled $5,848. Dividends realized and
reinvested in 2004 and 2003 totaled $10,714 and $3,023, respectively.
Investments in non-trading securities consist of investments owned by the
company in restricted shares of publicly traded companies or private equity
securities without readily ascertainable fair values. These investments have
been recorded at cost totaling $25,000 at December 31, 2004, and have been
classified as long-term assets since neither the Company nor its management
exert significant influence over the operating and financial policies of these
companies. Management estimates that the fair value of such investments exceeds
cost. Accordingly, no impairment of carrying value has been recorded.

5. Stockholders' Equity
On April 4, 2002, the Company was reorganized from a limited liability company
to corporation. The Company was authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of a
single class of common stock with no par value. The Company issued 2,800,000 of
such shares to existing members representing the entire ownership interest of
the Company at the time of incorporation. As there was no change in control of
the organization, the value of the stock, issued in the
5. Stockholders' Equity (continued)
reorganization, was based on the book value of the predecessor organization of
approximately $197,763, as of March 31, 2002. Accordingly, there was no change
in the recorded book values of Company assets or liabilities due to the
reorganization.
In April of 2003, the Company registered its common stock with the Securities
and Exchange Commission and was successful in offering 150,000 shares for
$750,000. Net proceeds to the Company were $709,664.
6. Employee Benefit Plan
The Company has a defined contribution 401(K) plan and profit sharing plan. All
employees who meet certain minimum requirements are eligible to participate in
the plan. Employees may make contributions to the plan up to the applicable
federal limits. Company contributions under both the 401(K) and profit sharing
provisions of the plan are also discretionary. The

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of certain financial instruments in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements including: cash and cash equivalents, trade
receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value
due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The carrying value of notes
receivable and notes payable also approximate fair market value due to the
short-term maturity of the notes or floating interest rates that approximate
current market rates.
Trading securities at December 31, 2004 and 2003 are set forth in Note 2.
9. Related Party Transactions
Notes Receivable
Amounts due from members were subject to accrual of interest income at rates
ranging from 4.5 to 4.9 percent. Interest income on amounts due from related
parties totaled $11,247 in 2003.
In December of 2003, the Company's management agreed to accept 16,000 shares of
Company stock from one of its shareholders and officers as complete and full
consideration for advances and accrued interest previously made to its
shareholder and officer. The total obligation was $77,755 including principal
and accrued interest. The note receivable and accrued interest have been removed
from the balance sheet with the 16,000 shares recorded as treasury stock in the
amount of $77,755. Management deemed the exchange to be fair consideration as
these shares will be unrestricted and free trading in April of 2004 and shares
issued during the offering were issued at $5 per share. No premium or discount
was recorded with this transaction.
F-14
Notes Payable
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company paid in full its
outstanding notes payable to shareholders and officers including accrued
interest of $77,101.
Royalty Expense
During the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, Prime made royalty payments
totaling $196,000 and $96,000, respectively, to two partnerships, which are
related to controlling shareholders and officers of the Company. The royalties
were paid in connection with the use of certain intellectual rights to the "FBA
Advantage Program" held by the related partnerships.
Rent Expense
The Company leases office space for two locations. One leased location has some
common ownership to that of the Company's shareholders and officers. The net
rent paid for this location was approximately $32,474 and $32,886 in 2004 and
2003, respectively. The initial lease term ended in March of 2004 and is
currently month to month. Management intends to negotiate new lease rates at
estimated fair market prices.
10. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company leases certain office space under agreements classified as operating
leases. The space was leased from two entities, one that had certain common
owners to those of the Company, as previously discussed. Net rent expense, under
these leases, totaled $ 90,537 and $90,999 for the years ended December 31, 2004
and 2003, respectively.
The Company has also entered into license agreements on software and web-based
access for the Company's clients to review, research and analyze their insurance
coverage plan(s). The terms of these agreements are cancelable with written
notice generally required from 30-90 days prior to cancellation. Future minimum
payments required under the non-cancellable lease agreement as of December 31,
2004 are as follows:

follows:
2004 2003
------------- -------------
Current deferred tax assets (liability):
Accounts receivable $ (178,219) $ (139,710)
Accounts payable 16,277 3,330
Accrued liabilities 154,532 112,623

Deferred income-stock compensation 51,511 51,511
------------- -------------
Net long-term deferred tax asset (liability) $ 37,233 $ 38,033
============= =============
Temporary differences resulting in deferred tax assets and liabilities from
accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities arise from the
company's election to use the cash method of accounting for income tax purposes.
In addition, the Company has a deferred tax assets of approximately $51,511,
relating to the timing of the recognition between book and tax accounting of
compensation paid in the form of common stock to an employee of the Company.
Realization of the deferred tax assets depends on the Company's ability to
generate sufficient future taxable income. Management believes that the Company
will generate such future
F-16
11. Income Taxes (continued)
earnings and, accordingly, realize the benefit of the gross deferred tax assets.
Therefore, management has not provided for any valuation allowance.
Income taxes receivable arise when estimated pre-payments exceeds the Company's
current tax liability.
12. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
Subsequent to the issuance of its December 31, 2004 financial statements, the
Company reevaluated its portfolio of investments in securities and concluded
that certain securities previously classified as trading securities did not
qualify as such, and accordingly, restated its statement of operations to remove
the unrealized gain on trading securities associated with these securities. The
restatement resulted in a reduction in unrealized gain on trading securities
from $261,832 to $4,020, and a reduction in income tax expense from $169,638 to
$65,742, and resulting in an after-tax reduction in net income of $153,916 from
$285,028 to $131,112 and a reduction of basic and fully diluted after tax
earnings per share from $0.10 per share to $0.04 per share for the year ended
December 31, 2004. The restatement also resulted in a reduction in trading
securities (at fair value) on the 2004 balance sheet of $282,812 to $8,204, an
increase in Investments in non-trading securities (recorded at cost) of $25,000
and a reduction in deferred tax liabilities of $103,896 from $112,914 to $9,018.
The adjustments resulted in a net reduction to retained earnings of $153,916.

Item 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH
ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Prime has no disagreements with its prior or current independent
auditors. In May 2003, Prime changed its independent auditors.
Item 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Prime's Board maintains controls and procedures designed to provide
reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the
reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon their evaluation of
those controls and procedures performed as of the end of the period
covered by the report in conforming with SEC Item 307 of Regulation
S-B, the chief executive officer and the principal financial officer
of the Company concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures are not effective at a reasonable assurance level for its
present activities under the foregoing rule in consideration of the
restatement of certain financial statements by Prime. The Company
identified the following material weakness: 1)the lack of sufficient
knowledge and experience among the internal accounting personnel
regarding the application of US GAAP and SEC requirements; 2)
insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and
financial reporting with respect to the current requirements and
application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements. The Company
knows of no fraudulent activities within the Company or any material
accounting irregularities. The Company currently does not have an
independent audit committee. The Company is advised that an
independent audit committee is not required for Electronic Bulletin
Board Listings, but will further review the advisability and
feasibility of establishing such a committee in the future.
(b) Changes in internal controls. The Company made no specific or
significant changes in its internal controls during the quarter or
year ended December 31, 2004. In October 2005 Prime was made aware of
certain accounting irregularities pursuant to an SEC notice and
comment pertaining to its earlier filed periodic reports for the year
ending in 2004 and the first two quarters of 2005. We now report
retroactively and generally that the within report contains requested
changes and restates certain financial information, as well as the
included changes in management's discussion and analysis. In
particular, this section pertaining to controls and procedures
describes action taken to ensure more accurate and effective
accounting controls and procedures. In addition to the following
general discussion, these matters are more fully discussed in our
10-QSB/A report for the period ending September 30, 2005. During
November 2005, the Company has engaged the services of an outside
accounting professional which has significant expertise in the
application of US GAAP and SEC reporting requirements to advise the
Company in the preparation of their financial statements. The Company
19
plans to further implement written policy and procedures for
accounting and financial statement preparation in accordance current
and future requirements of SEC Item 307 of Regulation S-B and SOX 404.
The Company has not currently estimated the cost of implementing these
changes in controls and procedures.
(c) Should the company subsequently seek a listing on an exchange or any
full NASD listing, such as the NASDAQ small cap markets, it is aware
that other accounting/auditing standards, such as the establishment of
an independent audit committee, may be required.
(d) The company is aware of the general standards and requirements of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act and has implemented procedures and rules to comply,
so far as applicable, such as a prohibition on company loans to
management and affiliates.
Item 8B. OTHER INFORMATION
Prime has elected to use this Section of the 10-KSB report to include
various additional information and potential risks which the company deems to be
significant to the present operation of Prime, even if such specific matters
would not have been required to be disclosed as part of an 8-K Disclosure
package or otherwise in the Company's current public information.
Prime believes the most significant factor for shareholders, potential
shareholders and other interested parties to understand is that the company is
in a transitional period. The Company has not utilized the balance of its public
offering proceeds for acquisitions of additional insurance entities or "books of
business" due to the generally soft nature of the market and the determination
by management that potential business acquisitions are not reasonably valued.
The company is still actively reviewing and seeking potential acquisition
opportunities of existing insurance businesses or books of business of insurance
and will utilize offering proceeds for that purpose when and if suitable
business opportunities are determined. The company has no way of projecting or
affirming how long the period may extend before suitable opportunities are
discovered.
In the interim, Prime has begun to engage in preliminary discussions
with various unrelated third parties about potential acquisitions of assets or
merger of the company which may mean a change of management and business
purposes if a proposal is subsequently adopted by the Board and approved by the
requisite shareholder vote. The company is not in a position to disclose any
details of these preliminary discussions as no affirmative letter of intent has
been entered. The company does believe it is significant, however, that
shareholders understand the company is actively pursuing such discussions at
this time due to the previously discussed inabilities to grow the company
through acquisitions as initially intended and as discussed above. The company
makes no projections or representations as to when or if such merger, and/or
acquisition, discussions will be fruitful, but each shareholder is advised that
upon any successful completion of a letter of intent or similar type of
commitment will require the company to post a notice as a press release and 8-K
filing report. Upon approval by the Board of Directors of a plan of material
20
acquisition or merger, the company would then, in most instances where
shareholder vote is required, notify the shareholders of the actions to be taken
and schedule a meeting for shareholder vote on the proposal. The company is
committed to keeping shareholders apprised of developments as to prospective
negotiations as they may be affirmatively entered, but is prohibited from
discussing these matters as long as they remain preliminary negotiations.
If Prime is not successful in finding a suitable merger or acquisition
procedure, then the company may also have to consider modifying the remaining
use of net proceeds if alternative insurance opportunities are not currently
available to the company. The company believes that it can alter and modify the
remaining use of proceeds without formal shareholder approval pursuant to the
general business discretion granted to the Board of Directors to employ company
proceeds for productive business purposes. It is, however, the intent of the
company to keep advising shareholders of any significant developments which
would alter or amend the use of proceeds by the company in the future.
The company does not believe that it is presently engaged in any
activities which would raise new or other significant risk factors to the
company's present operations, but will include any new or significant changes in
business structure or activities which would raise the risk factors as part of
its periodic filing requirements.

was also affiliated, on a part-time as-needed basis, with a small presently

control he is no longer affiliated with that firm. Mr. Limpert was appointed to
these positions in February, 2000 as part of the initial organization. As noted

* Per previous royalty agreement for contribution of proprietary benefits
products.
To date, directors have not been paid any compensation for attendance
at Board of Directors meetings. It is anticipated that as soon as revenues would
24
justify such expenditure, Directors will be paid a per diem payment of $500 for
attending each Board of Directors meetings.
1 Historically, the principals of Prime Resource LLC have taken draws
equal to a salary compensation of $240,000 per year in the case of Mr. Scott
Deru, and $240,000 for Mr. Terry Deru. Mr. Terry Deru received a salary of
$262,000 in 2001, and received $240,000 in 2002. He also received this salary in
2003. Mr. Limpert was paid compensation of $118,000 in 2001, $165,000 in 2002
and was paid $210,000 in 2003. The officers have decided after the restructuring
of Prime Resource to fix their salaries at these levels as evidenced by an
employment contract, earlier discussed under "Remuneration of Officers and
Directors". The most essential term of such contract is that the company may
terminate the employment agreement, without cause, at anytime upon notice. If
Prime is successful in completing this offering, the company may consider
executive stock options or other incentive plans.
Each of the three principal officers serves Prime pursuant to a written
employment agreement which is essentially identical in terms for each officer,
except for the compensation provisions outlined above. The essential terms of
the employment agreements provide as follows:
(1) Each employment contract runs for three years from April 5, 2002;
(2) There are no currently adopted benefits or stock rights, except 18
days of paid leave per year for each officer;
(3) Prime may terminate the employment with or without cause. If
termination is without cause, the employee is to receive a severance
equal to three months pay. Otherwise, the employee is paid through the
month the notice of termination is given. The employee has no right to
terminate the agreement without cause.
(4) The employment contract has standard provisions protecting proprietary
rights and property of the company from being used by the employee or
appropriated;
(5) The employment agreement provides for the exclusive full-time service
by each officer to Prime or one or more of its subsidiaries.
Each shareholder or other interested person may view a copy of the
employment agreements attached to the earlier SB-2 Registration Statement by
viewing this registration statement online at the SEC filing site
(www.sec.gov/edgar), or by requesting a copy from Prime.

Item 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
o To date none of the management has had any independent determination
of the reasonableness or amounts of compensation or benefits, such as shares
issued to management or salaries, and it is not likely there will be any
independent review of such matters in the future as the management, the Board
and the principal shareholders are substantially the same persons.
o The Company has historically made and received loans and advances
from owners and employees without independent Board review. These historical
loans are now paid. Under the provisions of the recent Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Prime
has discontinued, as a public company, any further loans or advances to
officers, directors or employees.
o Each of the principal officers of Prime have received shares and
interest in Prime based primarily upon the contribution of their prior
intangible business interest in Prime LLC and other intangible assets which are
not capable of exact evaluation. As a result, each of the present principal
owners of Prime may be deemed to hold shares and interest in the company which
were not determined through any arm's length transaction or independent
determination of value.
o Messrs. Terry Deru, Scott Deru and Andrew Limpert would be considered
founders and promoters of the current Prime Resource, Inc. As such, Scott Deru
contributed his interest in the prior Prime LLC for his approximate 36% stock
interest in Prime; Terry Deru has contributed his interest in Prime LLC for an
approximate 36% stock interest; and Mr. Limpert has contributed his interest in
Prime LLC for an approximate 27% stock interest in Prime. None of these
transfers by the promoters can be considered independent or arms-length
transactions.
o The company is not aware of any further transactions which would
require disclosure under this section by the company and any affiliated party.
Part IV
Item 13. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
In a board meeting in June, 2004, the Board of Directors decided to
affirm the continuance of Child Sullivan & Company of 1284 West Flint Meadow
Drive, Suite D, Kaysville, Utah 84037 as the independent auditors. This action
was ratified by shareholder vote in June, 2004.
For the calendar year 2004, the accounting firm of Child, Sullivan &
Co. charged the company a total of $29,024.50 for independent accounting and
auditing fees. As noted above, the company has no material disagreements with
its auditing firm as to the financial statements contained in this annual
report.
