Storm Cat Energy Corporation
General
 
Storm Cat is an independent oil and gas company focused primarily on the exploration, production and development of large unconventional gas reserves from fractured shales, coal beds and tight sand formations and, secondarily, from conventional formations. We were originally incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada in 2000 as a mineral exploration company named “Toby Ventures, Inc.”  In late 2003 we entered the oil and gas industry.  In January 2004, we changed our name to Storm Cat Energy Corporation.  The Company has producing properties in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin (“PRB”) and Arkansas’s Arkoma Basin (“Fayetteville Shale”) and exploration and development acreage in Canada.  Storm Cat continues to execute on its long-term strategy of growth through development and the acquisition of prospective acreage that compliments its existing assets and exploits the abilities of the Company’s technical staff.  The Company's shares trade on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “SCU” and in Canada on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “SME.”
 
The Company focuses its activities in three core areas: the Powder River Basing in Wyoming; the Fayetteville Shale in the Arkoma Basin in Arkansas; and in the Elk Valley of British Columbia Canada.
 
In the PRB, as of December 1, 2007, the Company had approximately 41,730 gross and 31,905 net acres.  At September 30, 2007 the Company had approximately 380 wells, of which 339 were Company-operated.  Production from the PRB at September 30, 2007 was 14.7 MMcf/d gross and 7.7 MMcf/d net.
 
Storm Cat’s acreage position in the Fayetteville Shale as of December 1, 2007 was 22,678 gross and 17,518 net.  As of September 30, 2007 Storm Cat had elected to participate in 16 non-operated Fayetteville Shale wells.  It owns between a 1% and 8% working interest in these wells, which are at various stages of planning, drilling, completion or production.  The Company has successfully drilled and completed the first two of its three planned wells on its Fayetteville Shale project. Well cleanup and post-frac productivity testing is now being conducted.  On October 11, 2007, the Company completed the drilling and casing of a third well to its planned vertical and horizontal total depth.  Plans are to complete and test this well during the fourth quarter.
 
As of December 1, 2007 Storm Cat held approximately 77,775 gross and net acres in the Company’s Elk Valley coalbed methane project located in southeastern British Columbia.  Nine wells, including five wells drilled in 2006, are currently in the de-watering and evaluation stage. The Company remains encouraged by water and associated gas production rates that are being observed and expects to make a determination about the next steps for the project by year-end 2007.
 
The Company also has acreage positions in Alberta and Alaska.  Storm Cat owned or controlled as of December 1, 2007 approximately 19,693 gross acres and 17,453 net acres in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin of Alberta, Canada. At present, the Company is exploring conventional prospects that may also present unconventional opportunities.  In Alaska, also as of December 1, 2007, the Company held approximately 24,505 gross and net acres in the onshore area of the Cook Inlet Region of Alaska.  Storm Cat drilled one well on this acreage in 2006 and is in the process of evaluating completion potential and business opportunities associated with its acreage.
 
The Company previously owned a 30% working interest in the Moose Mountain exploration project in Saskatchewan, covering 235,830 gross acres of unconventional natural gas exploration.  This property was fully impaired in the amount of $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2006.  We sold our working interest in this property to avoid plugging and abandonment costs, but we retained a 1% overriding royalty interest.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
  
 
Credit Facility
 
    On December 27, 2007, Storm Cat Energy (USA) Corporation (“Storm Cat (USA)”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Storm Cat, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), with Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC, as Agent, and the Lenders party thereto (the “Credit Facility”).  The Credit Facility consists of a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million and a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million.  The borrowing base for the revolving credit facility was initially set at $25.0 million.  The Credit Agreement provides for a semi-annual evaluation of such amount, determined based on Storm Cat’s oil and natural gas reserves.
 
    The Credit Facility will mature on September 27, 2011 or December 27, 2012 in the event the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes due March 31, 2012 are entirely converted into equity, with no remaining cash payment obligations or are refinanced with a maturity date not earlier than June 27, 2013.
 
   
-1-

 
    Storm Cat borrowed $43.0 million at the time of execution of the Credit Agreement, consisting of $30.0 million in term loans and $13.0 million from the revolving credit facility.  The Credit Facility is available to provide funds for general corporate purposes, including funding of capital expenditures and working capital.
 
    Each loan under the Credit Facility bears interest at a base rate or Eurodollar rate, as requested by Storm Cat, plus an applicable percentage based on Storm Cat's usage of the facility.  The applicable margin above the base rate and the Eurodollar rate for the term loan is 5.75% and 7.00%, respectively.  The applicable margin above the base rate and the Eurodollar rate for the revolving credit facility ranges from 0.75% to 1.25% and 2.00% and 2.50%, respectively, in each case depending on Storm Cat’s usage under the borrowing base.  Interest on funds drawn will be paid monthly, except interest on  loans based on the Eurodollar rate will be payable at the end of each interest period of one, two, three or six months, and, in any event, at least every three months.
    
    The Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for a facility of this nature. The Credit Facility also contains customary representations and warranties and customary events of default.  The Credit Facility contains five financial covenants:

(1)  
Minimum quarterly EDITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of $12.75 million for the quarter ending March 31, 2008, $16.6 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2008, $20.4 million for the quarter ending September 30, 2008, $23.3 million for the quarter ending  December 31, 2008, $28.3 million for the quarter ending March 31, 2009, $32.3 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2009, and $37.3 million for the quarter ending September 30, 2009 and for each quarter ending thereafter;

(2)  
Minimum average daily production for any quarterly period of 16,800 for the quarter ending March 31, 2008, 23,100 for the quarter ending June 30, 2008, 28,500 for the quarter ending September 30, 2008, 30,200 for the quarter ending  December 31, 2008, 29,400 for the quarter ending March 31, 2009, 34,600 for the quarter ending June 30, 2009, and 40,600 for the quarter ending September 30, 2009 and for each quarter ending thereafter;

(3)

(4)  
Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (based on EBIDTA and interest expense excluding interest expense associated with the Convertible Notes) of 2.50:1.00 for the quarter ending March 31, 2008, 2.75:1.00 for the quarter ending June 30, 2008, 3.00:1.00 for the quarter ending September 30, 2008, 3.25:1.00 for the quarter ending  December 31, 2008 and 3.50:1.00 for the quarter ending March 31, 2009 and for each quarter ending thereafter; and

    For purposes of calculating the foregoing covenants, EBITDA shall be calculated as follows for the first three fiscal quarters following the Closing Date: (a) for the quarter ending March 31, 2008, EBITDA shall be EBITDA for the three-month period ending on such date multiplied by four; (b) for the quarter ending June 30, 2008, EBITDA shall be EBITDA for the six-month period ending on such date multiplied by two; (c) for the quarter ending September 30, 2008, EBITDA shall be EBITDA for the nine-month period ending on such date multiplied by 4/3; and thereafter, EBITDA shall be calculated using EBITDA for the period of four quarters ending on the last day of the quarter immediately preceeding the date of determination for which financial statements are available.
 
 
Convertible Note Private Placement
 
    On January 19, 2007, Storm Cat entered into a Series A Note Purchase Agreement for the private placement of the Series A Notes in a total aggregate principal amount of $18.5 million and a Series B Note Purchase Agreement for the private placement the Series B Notes in a total aggregate principal amount of $31.7 million.  The notes were bifurcated into two series because a shareholder vote was required for issuance of any convertible notes above the amount issued under the Series A Notes.  The Series A Notes and the Series B Notes are convertible into Storm Cat common shares at a price of $1.17 per share, as may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Series A Notes or the Series B Notes (as applicable), and the Company may force the conversion of the Series A Notes or the Series B Notes (as applicable) at any time 18 months after the closing date of the applicable issuance that its common shares trade above $2.05, as may be adjusted, for 20 days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days.  On the day of the agreement, the $1.17 conversion price was at premium to the Company's stock price of $1.00.
 
    On January 30, 2007, Storm Cat closed the private placement of Series A Notes to qualified institutional and accredited investors in a private placement pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and exemptions from Canadian prospectus and registration requirements under National Instrument 45-106.  The Series A Notes will mature on March 31, 2012, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.  The Series A Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.25% per annum, commencing on January 30, 2007.  Interest on the Series A Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, beginning on June 30, 2007.
    
    On March 29, 2007, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting in which shareholders authorized the issuance of the underlying shares of the Series B Notes.  On March 30, 2007, Storm Cat closed on $31.7 million of Series B Notes to qualified institutional and accredited investors in a private placement pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and exemptions from Canadian prospectus and registration requirements under National Instrument 45-106. The Series B Notes will mature on March 31, 2012, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.  The Series B Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.25% per annum, commencing on March 30, 2007.  Interest on the Series A Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, beginning on June 30, 2007.  In April, 2007, the Company collected $17.4 million in proceeds on the subscription receivable on its Series B Notes.
  
    As part of the private placements, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the investors requiring the Company to file with the SEC registration statements covering the common shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes.  Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company had thirty days from the day of closing both the Series A Notes transaction and the Series B Notes transaction to file a Form S-1 registration statement with the SEC.  The Company fulfilled this obligation with respect to both the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes.
-2-

   In Canada, any shares issued on conversion of the Series A and Series B Notes are subject to a four month hold period before they can be traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. No registration statement equivalent to an S-1 or S-3 is required. Further detail of the agreement between the Company and the holders of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes is disclosed in three separate Forms 8-K filed by the Company on January 25, February 5, and April 5, 2007.  For additional information on these private placements and the Company’s obligations in relation to them, you should refer to the section entitled “Description of Series A Notes and Series B Notes Private Placements" beginning on page 12.
 
 
GLG Partners Settlement with the SEC
 
On June 26, 2007, GLG Partners, L.P., which serves as the investment manager to GLG North American Opportunity Fund, a selling shareholder in this offering, agreed to pay more than $3.2 million to settle enforcement actions brought by the SEC for illegal short selling in connection with 14 public offerings. GLG Partners, L.P. did not admit or deny the findings, but consented to the SEC order that finds, from July 2003 through May 2005, GLG Partners, L.P. violated Rule 105 of Regulation M on 16 occasions in 14 different public offerings in multiple funds, including GLG North American Opportunity Fund.

Reserve Estimates
 
Total proved reserves at December 31, 2006 were estimated at 25.0 Bcf equivalent as compared to 10.0 Bcf equivalent at December 31, 2005.  Our estimated, pre tax future net revenue discounted at 10% (commonly known as the SEC PV-10 figure) for proved reserves at December 31, 2006 was $32.04 million versus $29.02 million at year end 2005.  The PV-10 calculation used net commodity prices of $4.46 and $7.72, respectively, CIG Rocky Mountains per million British thermal units (MMBtu) of natural gas.
 
Our total proved reserve estimates are prepared by independent engineering consultants, Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. of Houston, Texas and conform to the definition as set forth in the SEC Regulation S-X Part 210.4-10(a) as clarified by subsequent Commission Staff Accounting bulletins.  The proved reserves are also in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 69 (SFAS 69).
 
The reserve mix is 100% natural gas, with 53.4% categorized as proved developed and 46.6% proved undeveloped.  In accordance with SEC guidelines, proved reserve estimates do not include any probable or possible reserves which may exist for our properties.

RISK FACTORS
 
In evaluating the Company, careful consideration should be given to the following risk factors. These risks are not the only risks facing the Company.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to Storm Cat or that it currently deems to be immaterial at present may become material in the future and affect its business, financial condition and/or operating results, as well as adversely affect the value of the Company’s common shares.
 
Risks Related to the Business
 
Price volatility may affect financial condition:  The prices of oil and natural gas are volatile and the Company’s operating results and future rate of growth depend heavily on prevailing market prices for these resources. A substantial or extended decline in prices for these resources would have a material adverse effect on the Company. These prices are affected by numerous factors beyond Storm Cat’s control, including international economic and political trends, the effects of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates and global or regional consumption patterns, worldwide and domestic supplies of oil and gas, the ability of members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls, actions of governmental authorities, the availability of transportation facilities, increased production due to new discoveries or improved recovery techniques and weather conditions.
 
Storm Cat operates in a highly competitive industry:  Storm Cat competes with other energy development companies for properties, equipment, materials and labor.  The industry is highly competitive in all aspects. Many of the Company’s competitors have larger operations and greater financial resources. Competition in Storm Cat’s business may adversely affect its ability to acquire properties, equipment and materials, attract and retain qualified labor, and attract the necessary capital to sustain resource exploration and production in the future.
 
Oil and gas exploration is a speculative undertaking:  Oil and gas exploration is a speculative business. Storm Cat’s future success depends on our ability to economically locate oil and gas production and reserves in commercial quantities. The Company’s anticipated exploration and development activities are subject to reservoir and operational risks. Even when oil and gas is found in what are believed to be commercial quantities, reservoir risks, which may be heightened in new discoveries, may lead to higher costs and/or lower production than originally anticipated. These risks include the inability to sustain deliverability at commercially productive levels as a result of decreased reservoir pressures, large amounts of water, or other factors that might be encountered. The effects of these factors may result in Storm Cat not receiving an adequate return on investment capital.
 
Reserve quantities and values are subject to many variables and estimates and actual results may vary:  This prospectus contains estimates of the Company’s proved oil and natural gas reserves and the estimated future net revenues from those reserves. Any significant negative variance in these estimates could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future performance.
 
Reserve estimates are based on various assumptions, including assumptions required by the SEC relating to oil and natural gas prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds. The process of estimating reserves is complex. This process requires significant decisions and assumptions in the evaluation of available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data.
 
Reserve estimates are dependent on many variables, and therefore, as more information becomes available, it is reasonable to expect that there will be changes to the estimates. Actual future production, oil and natural gas prices, revenues, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves will most likely vary from those estimated. Any significant variance could materially affect the estimated quantities and present value of reserves disclosed by the Company. In addition, estimates of proved reserves will be adjusted in the future to reflect production history, results of exploration and development, prevailing oil and natural gas prices and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control.
 
As of December 31, 2006, approximately 46.6% of the Company’s estimated proved reserves are classified as proved undeveloped. Estimation of proved undeveloped reserves and proved developed non-producing reserves is generally based on volumetric calculations rather than the performance data used to estimate reserves for producing properties. Recovery of proved undeveloped reserves generally requires significant capital expenditures and successful drilling operations. Revenues from proved developed non-producing and proved undeveloped reserves will not be realized until some time in the future. The reserve estimate includes an estimate of the capital expenditures required to develop these reserves as well as the timing of such expenditures. Although the Company has prepared estimates of its proved undeveloped reserves and the associated development costs in accordance with industry standards, they are based on estimates, and actual results may vary.
 
The present value of estimated reserves, or PV-10, should not be interpreted as the current market value of reserves attributable to the Company’s properties. The 10% discount factor, which is required in calculating PV-10 for reporting purposes, is not necessarily the most appropriate discount factor given actual interest rates and risks to which the Company’s business or the oil and natural gas industry in general are subject. The Company has based the PV-10 on prices and costs as of the date of the reserve estimate, in accordance with applicable SEC regulations. Actual future prices and costs may be materially higher or lower. In addition to the price volatility factors discussed above, factors that will affect actual future net cash flows, include:
 
·  
the amount and timing of actual production;
 
·  
curtailments or increases in consumption by oil and natural gas purchasers; and
 
·  
changes in governmental regulations or taxation.
 
As a result, the Company’s actual future net cash flows could be materially different from the estimates included in this prospectus.

The Company faces operating risks in its exploration and production activities:  Storm Cat’s business involves operating risks, including well blowouts, craterings, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas or well fluids, leaks, fires, formations with abnormal pressures, pipeline ruptures or spills, pollution, releases of toxic gas and other environmental hazards and risks, any one of which can cause personal injury, damage to property, equipment and the environment, as well as interruption of operations. Storm Cat maintains insurance against some, but not all, of these risks. If any of these events occurred, the Company could face substantial losses that could reduce or even eliminate funds available for operations.
 
The industry is highly regulated:  Storm Cat’s industry is heavily regulated by federal, state, and local authorities. These regulations control many aspects of its business including, among other things, land use, prospecting, the drilling and spacing of wells, protection of ground water, conservation of soil, safety standards, site reclamation, restoration, exports, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances and other matters. The regulations and laws governing the industry are under constant review and may be amended or expanded. Regulation increases the cost of doing business and decreases profitability. If Storm Cat fails to comply with these laws and regulations, it may be subject to substantial penalties or suspension or termination of operations.
 
The Company’s operations are subject to complex environmental regulations:  Storm Cat’s current and anticipated future operations require permits from various federal, state and local governmental authorities and such operations are and will be regulated by laws and regulations governing various elements of the oil and gas industries.
 
The Company cannot predict what environmental legislation, regulation or policy will be enacted or adopted in the future or how in the future laws and regulations will be administered or interpreted. The recent trend in environmental legislation and regulation generally is toward stricter standards and this trend is likely to continue in the future. This recent trend includes, without limitation, laws and regulations relating to air and water quality, waste handling and disposal, the protection of certain species and the preservation of certain lands. These regulations may require permits or other authorizations for certain activities. These laws and regulations may also limit or prohibit activities on certain lands lying within wetland areas, areas providing for habitat for certain species or other protected areas. Compliance with more stringent laws and regulations, as well as potentially more vigorous enforcement policies or stricter interpretation of existing laws, may necessitate significant capital expenditures, may materially affect the results of operations and business, or may cause material changes or delays in the Company’s intended activities.
 
There can be no assurance that Storm Cat will be able to obtain all permits required for future exploration on reasonable terms or that such laws and regulations, or new legislation or modifications to existing legislation, will not have an adverse effect on any project that might undertaken. The Company’s failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing the Company’s operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions.
 
Increases in taxes on energy sources may adversely affect the Company’s operations:  Federal, state and local governments which have jurisdiction in areas where the Company operates impose taxes on the oil and natural gas products sold. Historically, there has been on-going consideration by federal, state and local officials concerning a variety of energy tax proposals. Such matters are beyond the Company’s ability to accurately predict or control.
 
The Company does not have adequate cash flow to fund operations and additional debt or equity financing will be required:  The Company makes, and will continue to make, significant expenditures to find, acquire, develop and produce natural gas reserves. If natural gas prices decrease, or if operating difficulties are encountered that result in cash flow from operations being less than expected, the Company may have to reduce capital expenditures unless additional funds are raised through debt or equity financing. Debt or equity financing or cash generated by operations may not be available to the Company in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms to meet these requirements.
 
Future cash flows and the availability of financing will be subject to a number of variables, such as:
 
·  
the Company’s success in locating and producing new reserves;
 
·  
the level of production from existing wells; and
 
·  
prices of natural gas;
 
Issuing additional equity securities to satisfy the Company’s financing requirements could cause substantial dilution to existing shareholders. Additional debt financing could make the Company more vulnerable to competitive pressures and economic downturns.
 
Competition for materials and services is intense and could adversely affect the Company:  Major oil companies, independent producers, and institutional and individual investors are actively seeking oil and gas properties throughout the world, along with the equipment, labor and materials required to develop and operate properties. Shortages for equipment, labor or materials may result in increased costs or the inability to obtain such resources as needed. Many of the Company’s competitors have financial and technological resources which exceed those available to the Company.
 
The Company’s hedging arrangements involve credit risk and may limit future revenues from price increases:  To manage the Company’s exposure to price risks associated with the sale of natural gas, the Company periodically enters into hedging transactions for a portion of its estimated natural gas production. These transactions may limit the Company’s potential gains if natural gas prices were to rise substantially over the price established by the hedge. In addition, such transactions may expose the Company to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances, including instances in which:
 
-7-

·  
the Company’s production is less than expected;
 
·  
the contractual counterparties fail to perform under the contracts; or
 
·  
a sudden, unexpected event, materially impacts natural gas prices.
 
The terms of the Company’s hedging agreements may also require that it furnish cash collateral, letters of credit or other forms of performance assurance in the event that mark-to-market calculations result in settlement obligations by the Company to the counterparties, which would encumber the Company’s liquidity and capital resources.
 
In addition, hedging transactions using derivative instruments involve basis risk. Basis risk in a hedging contract occurs when the index upon which the contract is based is more or less variable than the index upon which the hedged asset is based, thereby making the hedge less effective.
 
The Company has minimized ineffectiveness by entering into gas derivative contracts indexed to Colorado Interstate Gas (“CIG”).  As the Company’s derivative contracts contain the same index as the Company’s sale contracts, this results in hedges that are highly correlated with the underlying hedged item.
 
The marketability of the Company’s natural gas production is dependent upon infrastructure, such as gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities, that the Company does not own or control:  The marketability of the Company’s natural gas production depends in part upon the availability, proximity and capacity of natural gas gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities necessary to move the Company’s natural gas production to market. The Company does not own this infrastructure and is dependent on other companies to provide it.
 
Storm Cat has a history of net losses and a current working capital deficit:  Since Storm Cat’s incorporation in May of 2000, it has experienced annual net losses.  In the year ended December 31, 2006 the Company had a net loss of $6.9 million and its cumulative net loss from date of incorporation to December 31, 2005 is $16.6 million. There is no guarantee as to when, if ever, the Company will realize a net profit.  At December 31, 2006 the Company had a working capital deficit of $15.6 million.
 
Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could adversely affect the business:  Storm Cat maintains accounts in U.S. and Canadian dollars. A material decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar could negatively impact the Company’s income statement and share price.
 
Storm Cat depends on certain key personnel:  The Company depends heavily on the business and technical expertise of its management and key personnel.  There is little possibility that this dependence will decrease in the near term. The Company carries no “key man” life insurance on any of its executives. As operations expand, Storm Cat will require additional key personnel and related resources.
 
Some of Storm Cat’s directors serve as officers and directors of other companies:  Some of the Company’s directors are also officers or directors of other companies including those that are similarly engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and exploiting oil and gas producing properties. Such associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. The Company’s directors are required by law to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interest of Storm Cat and to disclose any interest that they may have in any competing project or opportunity. Further, Storm Cat has an internal conflict policy (“Code of Business Conduct and Ethics”) which addresses directors’ conflicts of interest. Under the policy, if a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Board, any director with a conflict must disclose his interest and abstain from voting on such matters. In making the determination as to whether or not the Company will participate in any project or opportunity, the directors will primarily consider the degree of risk to it and Storm Cat’s financial position at that time.
 
Storm Cat focuses heavily on unconventional plays, which rely on technological advances that in the future may not be effective:  Unconventional resources are reserves from fractured shales, coal beds and tight sand formations and they are a central element of Storm Cat’s business model.  The development of typical unconventional plays may involve greater extraction and retrieval costs than are involved in development of typical conventional plays.  Often, the quality of gas and commercial viability is less known in a typical unconventional play.  Therefore, the process of developing an unconventional play involves significant expenditures before commercial viability can be ascertained and presents a risk of cost overruns and inadequate gas recovery.
 
Further, technological innovation is a key component to realizing the economic value of unconventional plays.  The Company continues to explore and rely on advances in technologies such as drilling, well completion and geophysical technologies that have helped the viability of the unconventional play.
 
Storm Cat may incur compression difficulties and expense:  As production increases, more compression is generally required to maximize the production flowing through the pipeline. Production costs increase as additional compression is required, primarily because the compression process requires more fuel.  In addition, the compression process is a mechanical process, and should a breakdown occur, the Company will be unable to deliver gas until repairs to the machinery are completed.
 
Storm Cat does not obtain title insurance or other warranties of title with its leases and working interests:  Storm Cat does not obtain title insurance or other guaranty or warranty of good title with its gas leases and well working interests. Title insurance is not available for subsurface leases. Accordingly, third parties may assert claims against the Company’s legal entitlement to the gas leases and working interests being acquired, irrespective of the Company’s leases and working well interests. In order to alleviate this risk, Storm Cat requires a title search and title opinion on all leases prior to drilling. There is no assurance, however, that all title defects will be cured prior to drilling.

Risks Related to Storm Cat’s Common Shares
 
U.S. Investors may have difficulty effecting service of process against some of Storm Cat’s Canadian directors:  Storm Cat is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. Consequently, it may be difficult for United States investors to effect service of process in the United States upon its directors or officers who are not residents of the United States, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities under the Exchange Act. A judgment of a U.S. court predicated solely upon such civil liabilities would probably be enforceable in Canada by a Canadian court if the U.S. court in which the judgment was obtained had jurisdiction, as determined by the Canadian court, in the matter. There is substantial doubt whether an original action could be brought successfully in Canada against any of such persons or Storm Cat predicated solely upon such civil liabilities.
 
Storm Cat was previously a “Foreign Private Issuer” and exempt from the Section 16 and the Proxy Rules of Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934:  On June 30, 2006, the Company became a U.S. issuer under the U.S. federal securities laws.  As such, it is subject to certain regulation under U.S. securities laws, such as Section 16 and the Proxy Rules of Section 14 of the Exchange Act. Prior to June 30, 2006, as a foreign private issuer, Storm Cat filed its Annual Report on Form 20-F and reported its current events, including the dissemination of proxy materials and information regarding its annual meeting of shareholders, on Form 6-K.
 
Storm Cat is subject to the Continued Listing Criteria of the AMEX and the TSX:  Storm Cat’s common shares are listed on AMEX and the TSX.
 
In order to maintain its listing on AMEX, Storm Cat must maintain certain share prices, financial and distribution targets, including maintaining a minimum amount of shareholders’ equity and a minimum number of public shareholders. In addition to objective standards, AMEX may delist the securities of any issuer if in its opinion, the issuer’s financial condition and/or operating results appear unsatisfactory; if it appears that the extent of public distribution or the aggregate market value of the security has become so reduced as to make further dealings on AMEX inadvisable; if the issuer sells or disposes of principal operating assets or ceases to be an operating company; if an issuer fails to comply with AMEX’s listing requirements; if an issuer’s common shares sell at what AMEX considers a “low selling price” and the issuer fails to correct this via a reverse split of shares after notification by AMEX; or if any other event shall occur or any condition shall exist which makes further dealings with AMEX, in its opinion, unadvisable.
 
Similarly, if the Company fails to meet any of the continued listing criteria of the TSX or is not in compliance with all TSX requirements applicable to listed companies, including TSX rules, policies, rulings and procedural requirements and any additions or amendments which may be made thereto from time to time, the TSX may delist the Company’s securities.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the TSX requires that Storm Cat: (i) not issue any securities without the prior consent of the TSX; (ii) not undergo a material change in its business or affairs without the prior consent of the TSX; (iii) file copies of all written correspondence sent to holders of its listed securities with the TSX; (iv) not change the provisions attaching to any warrants, rights or other out standing securities without the prior consent of the TSX; (v) pay all applicable TSX fees; and (vi) file, at any time upon demand, such other information or documentation concerning the Company’s business and affairs as the TSX may reasonably require.
 
The TSX has the right, at any time, to halt or suspend trading in any of listed securities with or without notice and with or without giving any reason for such action, or to delist such securities, provided that the TSX will not delist the securities without providing the Company with an opportunity to be heard.
 
If AMEX or the TSX delists Storm Cat’s common shares, investors may face material adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, a lack of trading market for its securities, decreased analyst coverage of its securities, and an inability for the Company to obtain additional financing to fund operations.
 
Storm Cat’s common shares are traded on more than one market and this may result in price variations:  Storm Cat’s common shares are traded on AMEX and on the TSX. Trading in the Company’s common shares on these markets is effected in different currencies (U.S. dollars on AMEX and Canadian dollars on the TSX) and at different times, as the result of different time zones, different trading days and different public holidays in the United States and Canada. Consequently, the trading prices of Storm Cat’s common shares on these two markets often differ, resulting from the factors described herein as well as differences in exchange rates and from political events and economic conditions in the United States and Canada. Any decrease in the trading price of the Company’s common shares on one of these markets could cause a decrease in the trading price of its common shares on the other market.
 
Storm Cat’s share price has fluctuated and could continue to fluctuate significantly:  The market price for Storm Cat’s common shares, as well as the price of shares of other energy companies, has been volatile. Numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, may cause the market price of its common shares to fluctuate significantly, such as:
 
·  
Fluctuations in the Company’s quarterly revenues and earnings and those of its publicly held competitors;
 
·  
Shortfalls in operating results from levels forecast by securities analysts;
 
·  
Announcements concerning the Company or its competitors;
 
·  
Changes in pricing policies by the Company or its competitors;
 
·  
General market conditions and changes in market conditions in the industry; and
 
·  
The general state of the securities market.
 
-9-

In addition, trading in shares of companies listed on AMEX and the TSX, generally, and trading in shares of energy companies, specifically, has experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to operating performance. These broad market and industry factors may depress the Company’s share price, regardless of actual operating results. In addition, if Storm Cat issues additional shares in financings or acquisitions, its shareholders will experience additional dilution and the existence of more shares could decrease the amount that purchasers are willing to pay for the Company’s common shares.

Following an event of default, each holder of the Series A Notes and each holder of the Series B Notes, as applicable, has the option to require us to redeem all or a portion of such holder’s Series A Notes or Series B Notes, as applicable, at a redemption price equal to a minimum of 110% of the principal amount of the Series A Notes or the Series B Notes, as applicable, and any unpaid interest or other payments due on the Series A Notes or the Series B Notes, as applicable.  The redemption price may be higher depending on the trading price of our common shares at the time of the redemption.
 
Registration Rights
 
As part of the private placements of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the selling shareholders and certain other purchasers of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes requiring us to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the common shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes. Generally, pursuant to the registration rights agreement, if a registration statement is not filed within 30 days of the closing of the Series A Notes private placement or the Series B Notes private placement, as applicable, or is not declared effective within 90 days, or later in certain specified circumstances, of the closing of the Series A Notes private placement or the Series B Notes private placement, as applicable, then we will be liable to make pro rata payments to each selling shareholder and the other purchasers in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by such selling shareholder and each other purchaser for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following such deadlines, but not to exceed 10% of such aggregate amount invested.  Payments to the holders of the Series A Notes and/or Series B Notes, as applicable, for failure to meet a deadline in the registration rights agreement are payable in cash, our common shares or a combination of cash and our common shares.  In addition, we have agreed with the selling shareholders and the other purchasers to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement, and (2) the date on which the shares (other than shares held by our affiliates) may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act.
 
On June 29, 2007, the Company filed an amended S-1 registration statement for 12,679,486 shares underlying the conversion of the Series A Notes and 8,241,106 shares underlying the conversion of the Series B Notes.  The registration statement went effective on June 29, 2007.  This registration statement did not include all of the common shares that are issuable upon conversion of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes.  The Company was required to file an additional S-1 registration statement to register the remaining common shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes and is filing this S-1 registration statement to satisfy this requirement.  The common shares remaining to be registered under the Series A Notes total 3,162,394 and under the Series B Notes total 18,818,723.  The Company has 150 days from the date of filing the additional registration statement to have the registration statement declared effective or pay liquidated damages in the amount of 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price per month ($257,179) to a maximum of 10.0% of the aggregate purchase price ($2,571,791).  Liquidated damages can, at the option of the Company, be paid in cash or in fully paid and non-assessable common shares if all equity conditions outlined in the Form S-1 registration statement are met.
 
Although each purchaser of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes is entitled to the same registration rights pursuant to the registration rights agreement, certain of the purchasers of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, that are also our affiliates, have agreed not to be included in this registration statement.  However, we are still contractually obligated to register the common shares underlying the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes held by these affiliates.  This registration statement and a previously filed registration statement cover 15,841,880 common shares of the 15,841,880 common shares that are issuable upon conversion of the Series A Notes.   In addition, we are contractually obligated to register all of the common shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Notes.  This registration statement and a previously filed registration statement cover 26,961,538 common shares of the 27,059,829 common shares that are issuable upon conversion of the Series B Notes.  Therefore, we will still be contractually obligated to register an additional 98,291 common shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Notes.  We intend to file additional registration statements covering these common shares over the next 12 months.  We may be required to make payments for liquidated damages if we miss deadlines relating to these future registration statements.

(1)  These amounts assume that all payments are made when due and there is no event of default.  The first quarterly interest payment was due on June 30, 2007.  This payment was larger for each investor because it covered the period beginning January 30, 2007 through March 31, 2007, in addition to the interest accrued during the second quarter.  All payments must be made by certified or bank cashier’s check of wire transfer or immediately available funds at least five business days before the date the payment is to be made.
 
(2)  We will be required to pay liquidated damages equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price of each Series A Note (a) for each 30 day period that we fail to replace a common share certificate with a restrictive legend with common share certificate without such restrictive legend within three business days of the investor presenting the required documentation to our transfer agent, and (b) on the day of the filing delay or deficiency and every thirtieth day after, if a registration statement is not filed by the filing deadline or not declared effective by the SEC by the effectiveness deadline or maintained as required, all as set forth in the registration rights agreement (the aggregate liquidated damages may not exceed 10% of the aggregate purchase price of the Series A Notes).
 
(3)  These amounts represent the minimum amount payable if holders of the Series A Notes request repayment upon a change of control.  These amounts assume that the change of control occurs after January 30, 2009 and does not take into account the alternate calculation of the repayment price based upon the aggregate consideration received in the change of control transaction.  These amounts also assume there is no unpaid interest at the time of the change of control.  These amounts, in addition to the face value of the Series A Note, must be paid to the holders of the Series A Notes that request such repayment upon a change of control.
 
(4)  These amounts represent the minimum amount payable if holders of the Series A Notes request redemption of the Series A Notes upon an event of default.  These amounts assume there is no unpaid interest or other payments due at the time of the event of default.  These amounts may be higher depending on the trading price of our common shares at the time of the redemption.  These amounts, in addition to the face value of the Series A Note, must be paid to the holders of the Series A Notes that request such redemption upon an event of default.
 
(5)  These amounts assume that all payments are made when due and there is no event of default.  The first quarterly interest payment was due on June 30, 2007.  All payments must be made by certified or bank cashier’s check of wire transfer or immediately available funds at least five business days before the date the payment is to be made.

(6)  We will be required to pay liquidated damages equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price of each Series B Note (a) for each 30 day period that we fail to replace a common share certificate with a restrictive legend with common share certificate without such restrictive legend within three business days of the investor presenting the required documentation to our transfer agent, and (b) on the day of the filing delay or deficiency and every thirtieth day after, if a registration statement is not filed by the filing deadline or not declared effective by the SEC by the effectiveness deadline or maintained as required, all as set forth in the registration rights agreement (the aggregate liquidated damages may not exceed 10% of the aggregate purchase price of the Series B Notes).
 
(7)  These amounts represent the minimum amount payable if holders of the Series B Notes request repayment upon a change of control.  These amounts assume that the change of control occurs after March 30, 2009 and does not take into account the alternate calculation of the repayment price based upon the aggregate consideration received in the change of control transaction.  These amounts also assume there is no unpaid interest at the time of the change of control.  These amounts, in addition to the face value of the Series B Note, must be paid to the holders of the Series B Notes that request such repayment upon a change of control.
 
(8)  These amounts represent the minimum amount payable if holders of the Series B Notes request redemption of the Series B Notes upon an event of default.  These amounts assume there is no unpaid interest or other payments due at the time of the event of default.  These amounts may be higher depending on the trading price of our common shares at the time of the redemption.  These amounts, in addition to the face value of the Series B Note, must be paid to the holders of the Series B Notes that request such redemption upon an event of default.
 
We have the intention, and a reasonable basis to believe that we will have the financial ability, to make all payments due and payable pursuant to the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes.
 
Proceeds From Private Placement of Series A Notes
 
In connection with the private placement of the Series A Notes we received gross proceeds of approximately $18.5 million and net proceeds after deducting the placement agent’s fees and offering expenses of approximately $17.3 million.  From the date of issuance of the Series A Notes through January 30, 2008, we will be required to make interest payments on the Series A Notes totaling approximately $1.7 million, assuming that none of the Series A Notes are converted prior to that date.  In addition, we may be required to make additional payments to the holders of the Series A Notes, as set forth in the table above, if (a) we fail to deliver certificates without a restrictive legend within the applicable deadline, (b) the registration statement is not declared effective by the deadline or maintained as required by the registration rights agreement, (c) there is a change of control, or (d) there is an event of default.
 
The following table sets forth the gross proceeds received from the private placement of the Series A Notes and calculates the net proceeds from the private placement of the Series A Notes after deduction of the payments pursuant to the  Series A Notes.  The net proceeds do not include the payment of any contingent payments, such as liquidated damages or repayment premiums in the case of default or a change in control.  The net proceeds represent approximately 45.6% of the gross proceeds.

THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
 
We initially issued the common shares to the selling shareholders, as initial purchasers in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  We have agreed to include in this registration statement the common shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes.
 
The selling shareholders, including their transferees, pledges, donees or other successors, may from time to time offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of the common shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes.  Any selling shareholder may also elect not to sell any common shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes held by it.  Only common shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes listed below or in any prospectus supplement hereto may be offered for resale by the selling shareholders pursuant to this prospectus. 
 
Except as otherwise noted below, none of the selling shareholders has, or had, any position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our affiliates beyond their investment in or receipt of our securities. In addition, except as described below, none of the selling shareholders have participated in prior securities transactions with the Company.  Prior to purchasing the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, Trapeze Capital Corp. and Trapeze Asset Management Inc. (collectively, “Trapeze”), held 13,767,776 common shares representing approximately 16.98% of our outstanding shares, plus2,126,582 common share purchase warrants, each exercisable to purchase one common share at a price of CDN$1.90 per share.  On September 27, 2006, we issued 7,594,937 common share units, which consisted of 7,594,937 common shares and 2,126,582 common share purchase warrants, and 6,172,839 flow-through shares to Trapeze, the only investor in this private placement (the "Trapeze Transaction").  The following table provides certain information relating to the Trapeze Transaction.  Percentages reflect actual outstanding common shares as the outstanding common shares were not adjusted to include common share or common share equivalents ("CSEs") issuable pursuant to the transaction.

We are not aware of any selling shareholder with an existing short position in our common shares. On June 26, 2007, GLG Partners, L.P., which serves as the investment manager to GLG North American Opportunity Fund, a selling shareholder in this offering, agreed to pay more than $3.2 million to settle enforcement actions brought by the SEC for illegal short selling in connection with 14 public offerings.
 
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
We are registering the common shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes to permit the resale of these common shares by the holders of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes from time to time after the effectiveness of the registration statement.  We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling shareholders of the common shares.  We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the common shares.
 
The selling shareholders may sell all or a portion of the common shares beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents.  If the common shares are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling shareholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions.  The common shares may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.  These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions:
 
·  
on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
 
·  
 in the over-the-counter market;
 
·  
 in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
 
·  
through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
 
·  
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
·  
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
·  
 purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
·  
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
·  
privately negotiated transactions;
 
·  
short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement;
 
·  
sales pursuant to Rule 144;
 
·  
broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
·  
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 
·  
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

If the selling shareholders effect such transactions by selling common shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders or commissions from purchasers of the common shares for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved).  In connection with sales of the common shares or otherwise, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common shares in the course of hedging in positions they assume.  The selling shareholders may also sell common shares short and deliver common shares covered by the registration statement to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling shareholders may also loan or pledge common shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
 
The selling shareholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Series A Notes, the Series B Notes or common shares issuable upon conversion thereof owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the common shares from time to time pursuant to the registration statement or any amendment to the registration statement under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under the registration statement and the related prospectus. The selling shareholders also may transfer and donate the common shares in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of the registration statement and the related prospectus.
 
The selling shareholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the common shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  Kellogg Capital Group, LLC is a registered "broker-dealer", and, accordingly, is deemed to be an underwriter.  At the time a particular offering of the common shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of common shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling shareholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.
 
Under the securities laws of some states, the common shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common shares may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
 
There can be no assurance that any selling shareholder will sell any or all of the common shares registered pursuant to the registration statement.
 
The selling shareholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the common shares by the selling shareholders and any other participating person.  Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the common shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the common shares.  All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the common shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the common shares.
 
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the common shares pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $46,444 in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state or provincial securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that a selling shareholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any.  We will indemnify the selling shareholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreement, or the selling shareholders will be entitled to contribution.  We may be indemnified by the selling shareholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling shareholder specifically for use in the registration statement and the related prospectus, in accordance with the registration rights agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.
 
Once sold under the registration statement and the related prospectus, the common shares will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

The validity of the issuance of the common shares offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Bull, Housser & Tupper, LLP, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
 
We are incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada.  Further, some of our assets are located outside of the United States.  Consequently, it may be difficult for United States investors to effect service of process in the United States upon our directors or officers who are not residents of the United States, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities under the U.S. securities laws.  A judgment of a U.S. court predicated solely upon such civil liabilities would probably be enforceable in Canada by a Canadian court if the U.S. court in which the judgment was obtained had jurisdiction, as determined by the Canadian court, in the matter.  There is substantial doubt whether an original action could be brought successfully in Canada against any of such persons or Storm Cat predicated solely upon such civil liabilities.

Item 14.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
 
Under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia (the “Business Corporations Act”) a corporation may indemnify present or former directors or officers, or other individuals who act or acted at the corporation’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual with respect to any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved, because of that association with the Registrant or other entity.  To qualify for indemnification under the Business Corporations Act, an individual must (1) act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interest of the corporation, or as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the corporation’s request, and (2) in the case of criminal or administrative action that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual must have had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual’s conduct was lawful.  In actions brought by or on behalf of the corporation, indemnification may only be made with court approval.  A corporation may advance moneys to the individuals for all costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding, as long as the individual undertakes in writing to repay the moneys if indemnification is ultimately prohibited by the Business Corporations Act.
 
The Registrant’s Articles (the “Articles”), provide that subject to the limitations contained in the Business Corporations Act, the Registrant must indemnify its directors, former directors or alternate directors and his or her heirs and legal personal representatives against all penalties to which such person is or may be liable.  Further, the Articles provide that the Registrant must pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of that proceeding.  In accordance with the Articles, the Registrant may indemnify its officers and individuals whom act at the request of the Registrant, in a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture, or other unincorporated entity.  A director, alternate director or officer’s failure to comply with the Business Corporations Act or the Articles does not invalidate any indemnification the individual is entitled to under the Articles.
 
In accordance with the Articles, the Registrant maintains insurance to cover (1) individuals who are or were directors, alternate directors, officers, employees or agents of the Registrant or corporations affiliated with the Registrant; (2) individuals who, at the request of the Registrant, are or were directors, officers, employees or agents of a corporation, partnership, trust, joint venture, or other unincorporated entity; or (3) individuals who, at the request of the Registrant, hold or held a position equivalent to that of a director, alternate director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture, or other unincorporated entity, against any liability incurred by the individual in his capacity with or acting on behalf of the Registrant.

Item 17.    Undertakings
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
 
(1)                                  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
 
(i)                                     To include any prospectus required in Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
 
(ii)                                  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
 
(iii)                               To include any material information with respect to the “Plan of Distribution” not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
 
 
(2)                                  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
 
 
(3)                                  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;
 

 
(4)                                  That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use;
 
 
(5)                                The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report, to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 8 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 

SIGNATURES
 
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-1 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Denver, State of Colorado on this 24th day of January, 2008.
