RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this prospectus in evaluating our company and its business before purchasing shares of our company's common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. The risks described below are all of the material risks that we are currently aware of that are facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us may also impair our business operations. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.

RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock into the public market by the selling stockholders may result in significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock and could affect the ability of our stockholders to realize the current trading price of our common stock.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause a reduction in the market price of our common stock. We had 47,202,124 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of February 19, 2008. When this post-effective registration statement is declared effective, the selling stockholders may be reselling up to 3,116,460 shares of our common stock, not including any shares acquired on the exercise of share purchase warrants. As a result of such registration statement, a substantial number of our shares of common stock may be issued and may be available for immediate resale, which could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. As a result of any such decreases in price of our common stock, purchasers who acquire shares from the selling stockholders may lose some or all of their investment.

To the extent any of the selling stockholders exercise any of their share purchase warrants, and then resell the shares of common stock issued to them upon such exercise, the price of our common stock may decrease due to the additional shares of common stock in the market.

 

 



7

 

 

Any significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock as the selling stockholders sell the shares of our common stock could encourage short sales by the selling stockholders or others. Any such short sales could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock.

Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may be sporadic because it is not a stock exchange, and stockholders may have difficulty reselling their shares.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with the company's operations or business prospects. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like Nasdaq or a stock exchange like Amex. Accordingly, you may have difficulty reselling any of the shares you purchase from the selling stockholders.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We have had negative cash flows from operations.

To date we have had negative cash flows from operations and we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our cash requirements and have incurred losses totalling approximately $900,048 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2007, and cumulative losses since the inception of the exploration stage of $13,002,112 to September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2007 we had working capital of $23,507,772 as a result of recent financing activities. We do not expect positive cash flow from operations in the near term. There is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. In particular, additional capital may be required in the event that:

- drilling and completion costs for further wells increase beyond our expectations; or

- we encounter greater costs associated with general and administrative expenses or offering costs.

The occurrence of any of the aforementioned events could adversely affect our ability to meet our business plans.

We will depend almost exclusively on outside capital to pay for the continued exploration and development of our properties. Such outside capital may include the sale of additional stock and/or commercial borrowing. Capital may not continue to be available if necessary to meet these continuing development costs or, if the capital is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to us. The issuance of additional equity securities by us would result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable to us, we may be unable to continue our business and as a result may be required to scale back or cease operations for our business, the result of which would be that our stockholders would lose some or all of their investment.

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations.

A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because our operations have been primarily financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our continued operations. Any reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future would force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and would have a significant negative effect on our business plans and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. If our stock price declines, we may not be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations.

We have a history of losses and fluctuating operating results.

From inception through to September 30, 2007, we have incurred aggregate losses of approximately $13,002,112. Our loss from operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 was $1,804,865. There is no assurance that we will operate profitably or will generate positive cash flow in the future. In addition, our operating results in the future may be subject to significant fluctuations due to many factors not within our control, such as the unpredictability of when customers will purchase our services, the size of customers’ purchases, the demand for our services, and the level of competition and general economic conditions. If we cannot generate positive cash flows in the future, or raise sufficient financing to continue our normal operations, then we may be forced to scale down or even close our operations. Until such time as we generate revenues, we expect an increase in development costs and operating costs. Consequently, we expect to incur operating losses and negative cash flow until our properties enter commercial production.

We have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in continuing to grow our business, then we may have to scale back or even cease our ongoing business operations.

We have no history of revenues from operations and have no significant tangible assets. We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. Our company has a limited operating history and must be considered in the development stage. The success of our company is significantly dependent on a successful acquisition, drilling, completion and production program. Our company’s operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. We may be unable to locate recoverable reserves or operate on a profitable basis. We are in the development stage and potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by enterprises in the development stage. If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their investment in our company.

Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's "Penny Stock" regulations, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors." The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of, our common stock.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers

 

 



9

 

must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Trading in our common shares on the OTC Bulletin Board is limited and sporadic making it difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares or liquidate their investments.

Our common shares are currently listed for public trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. The trading price of our common shares has been subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of our common shares may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with no current business operation. There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our common shares will be matched or maintained. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of management's attention and resources.

Because of the early stage of development and the nature of our business, our securities are considered highly speculative.

Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of the nature of our business and the early stage of its development. We are largely engaged in the business of exploring and, if warranted, developing commercial reserves of oil and gas. Our properties are in the exploration stage only and are without known reserves of oil and gas. Accordingly, we have not generated any revenues nor have we realized a profit from our operations to date and there is little likelihood that we will generate any revenues or realize any profits in the short term. Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon locating and developing economic reserves of oil and gas, which itself is subject to numerous risk factors as set forth herein. Since we have not generated any revenues, we will have to raise additional monies through the sale of our equity securities or debt in order to continue our business operations.

As our properties are in the exploration and development stage there can be no assurance that we will establish commercial discoveries on our properties.

Exploration for economic reserves of oil and gas is subject to a number of risk factors. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing oil and/or gas wells. Our properties are in the exploration stage only and are without proven reserves of oil and gas. We may not establish commercial discoveries on any of our properties.

The potential profitability of oil and gas ventures depends upon factors beyond the control of our company.

The potential profitability of oil and gas properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control. For instance, world prices and markets for oil and gas are unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing, pegging, controls, or any combination of these and other factors, and respond to changes in domestic, international, political, social, and economic environments. Additionally, due to worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for production and other expenses have become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to project. These changes and events may materially affect our financial performance.

Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations. A productive well may become uneconomic in the event water or other deleterious substances are encountered which impair or prevent the production of oil and/or gas from the well. In addition, production from any well may be unmarketable if it is impregnated with water or other deleterious substances. The marketability of oil and gas, which may be acquired or discovered, will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental protection. These factors

 

 



10

 

cannot be accurately predicted and the combination of these factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

Competition in the oil and gas industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring the leases.

The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive. We compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas companies, which have substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources and staff. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable oil and gas leases, suitable properties for drilling operations and necessary drilling equipment, as well as for access to funds. We cannot predict if the necessary funds can be raised or that any projected work will be completed. Our budget anticipates the potential acquisition of additional acreage in Nevada, Colorado and/or Alberta. This acreage may not become available or if it is available for leasing, that we may not be successful in acquiring the leases. There are other competitors that have operations in these areas and the presence of these competitors could adversely affect our ability to acquire additional leases.

The marketability of natural resources will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control, which may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

The marketability of natural resources, which may be acquired or discovered by us, will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include market fluctuations in oil and gas pricing and demand, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulation concerning the importing and exporting of oil and gas and environmental protection regulations. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

Oil and gas operations are subject to comprehensive regulation, which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing an adverse effect on our company.

Oil and gas operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Oil and gas operations are also subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations, which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment. Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Environmental standards imposed by federal, provincial, or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages, which it may elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. To date we have not been required to spend any material amount on compliance with environmental regulations. However, we may be required to do so in future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our operations.

Exploration and production activities are subject to certain environmental regulations, which may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of our operations.

In general, our exploration and production activities are subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of a given operation. Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material effect on our operations or financial condition to date. Specifically, we are subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes. In addition, legislation has been enacted which requires well and facility sites to be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of state authorities. However, such laws and regulations are frequently changed and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry.

We believe that our operations comply, in all material respects, with all applicable environmental regulations.

Our operating partners maintain insurance coverage customary to the industry; however, we are not fully insured against all possible environmental risks.

Exploratory drilling involves many risks and we may become liable for pollution or other liabilities, which may have an adverse effect on our financial position.

Drilling operations generally involve a high degree of risk. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, power outages, labor disruptions, blow-outs, sour gas leakage, fire, inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labour, and other risks are involved. We may become subject to liability for pollution or hazards against which it cannot adequately insure or which it may elect not to insure. Incurring any such liability may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operations.

Any change to government regulation/administrative practices may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and our profitability.

The laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in the United States, Canada, or any other jurisdiction, may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will fundamentally alter the ability of our company to carry on our business.

The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory agency, or other special interest groups, may have a detrimental effect on us. Any or all of these situations may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and/or our profitably.

Our By-laws contain provisions indemnifying our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by them.

Our By-laws contain provisions with respect to the indemnification of our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by him, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment in a civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his being or having been one of our directors or officers.

Investors' interests in our company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share if we issue additional shares or raise funds through the sale of equity securities.

Our constating documents authorize the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001. In the event that we are required to issue any additional shares or enter into private placements to raise financing through the sale of equity securities, investors' interests in our company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuances also will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other shareholders. Further, any such issuance may result in a change in our control.

Our By-laws do not contain anti-takeover provisions, which could result in a change of our management and directors if there is a take-over of our company.

We do not currently have a shareholder rights plan or any anti-takeover provisions in our By-laws. Without any anti-takeover provisions, there is no deterrent for a take-over of our company, which may result in a change in our management and directors.

As a result of a majority of our directors and officers are residents of other countries other than the United States, investors may find it difficult to enforce, within the United States, any judgments obtained against our company or our directors and officers.

Other than our satellite operations office in Denver, Colorado, we do not currently maintain a permanent place of business within the United States. In addition, a majority of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons' assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against our company or our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.

Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

The prospectus relates to the resale by certain selling stockholders of Eden Energy Corp. of up to 5,134,220 shares of our common stock in connection with the resale of:

 

- up to 3,958,100 shares of our common stock which may be issued to certain selling stockholders upon the conversion of principal, or shares of common stock issued in payment of interest, under the 6% convertible promissory notes; and

- up to 1,176,120 shares of common stock issuable to certain selling stockholders assuming the exercise of outstanding common Series A share purchase warrants issued in connection with the private placement of the 6% convertible promissory notes. (Including 87,120 broker’s warrants exercisable under the same terms).

The selling stockholders may sell these shares of common stock in the public market or through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The selling shareholders may sell these shares of common stock through ordinary brokerage transactions, directly to market makers or through any other means described in the section entitled "Plan of Distribution".

USE OF PROCEEDS

The shares of common stock offered hereby are being registered for the account of the selling stockholders named in this prospectus. As a result, all proceeds from the sales of the common stock will go to the selling stockholders and we will

not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling stockholders, although we could receive proceeds of up to $10,236,000 if all of the share purchase warrants are exercised. We will, however, incur all costs associated with this registration statement and prospectus.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The selling stockholders may offer and sell, from time to time, any or all of the common stock issued to them upon conversion of, or in payment of interest under, the 6% convertible promissory notes, upon conversion of the option notes, or upon exercise of the series A share purchase warrants. Because the selling stockholders may offer all or only some portion of the 5,134,220 shares of common stock to be registered, no estimate can be given as to the amount or percentage of these shares of common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of the offering.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders as of February 19, 2008, and the number of shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. The number of shares in the table represents an estimate of the number of shares of common stock to be offered by the selling stockholder. With the exception of H.C. Wainwright & Co., Inc., none of the selling stockholders is a broker-dealer, or an affiliate of a broker-dealer to our knowledge.

We may require the selling security holder to suspend the sales of the securities offered by this prospectus upon the occurrence of any event that makes any statement in this prospectus or the related registration statement untrue in any material respect or that requires the changing of statements in these documents in order to make statements in those documents not misleading.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock on any market upon which the common stock may be listed or quoted (currently the National Association of Securities Dealers OTC Bulletin Board in the United States, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such sales may be at fixed prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the market prices or at negotiated prices. The shares of common stock being offered for resale by this prospectus may be sold by the selling stockholders by one or more of the following methods, without limitation:

(a)           block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares of common stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

(b)           purchases by broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;

(c)           an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

(d)           ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

(e)           privately negotiated transactions;

(f)           market sales (both long and short to the extent permitted under the federal securities laws);

(g)           at the market to or through market makers or into an existing market for the shares;

(h)           through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed or otherwise); and

(i)           a combination of any of the aforementioned methods of sale.

In the event of the transfer by any of the selling stockholders of its share purchase warrants or common shares to any pledgee, donee or other transferee, we will amend this prospectus and the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by the filing of a post-effective amendment in order to have the pledgee, donee or other transferee in place of the selling stockholder who has transferred his, her or its shares.

In effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from a selling stockholder or, if any of the broker-dealers act as an agent for the purchaser of such shares, from a purchaser in amounts to be negotiated which are not expected to exceed those customary in the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree with a selling stockholder to sell a specified number of the shares of common stock at a stipulated price per share. Such an agreement may also require the broker-dealer to purchase as principal any unsold shares of common stock at the price required to fulfil the broker-dealer commitment to the selling stockholder if such broker-dealer is unable to sell the shares on behalf of the selling stockholder. Broker-dealers who acquire shares of common stock as principal may thereafter resell the shares of common stock from time to time in transactions which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above. Such sales by a broker-dealer could be at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. In connection with such resales, the broker-dealer may pay to or receive from the purchasers of the shares commissions as described above.

 

 



17

 

 

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the selling stockholders in the sale of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. In that event, any commissions received by the broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

From time to time, any of the selling stockholders may pledge shares of common stock pursuant to the margin provisions of customer agreements with brokers. Upon a default by a selling stockholder, their broker may offer and sell the pledged shares of common stock from time to time. Upon a sale of the shares of common stock, the selling stockholders intend to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act by delivering a prospectus to each purchaser in the transaction. We intend to file any amendments or other necessary documents in compliance with the Securities Act which may be required in the event any of the selling stockholders defaults under any customer agreement with brokers.

To the extent required under the Securities Act, a post effective amendment to this registration statement will be filed disclosing the name of any broker-dealers, the number of shares of common stock involved, the price at which the common stock is to be sold, the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealers, where applicable, that such broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and other facts material to the transaction.

We and the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under it, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and, insofar as a selling stockholder is a distribution participant and we, under certain circumstances, may be a distribution participant, under Regulation M. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock.

All expenses of the registration statement including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, printing and mailing fees are and will be borne by us. Any commissions, discounts or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares of common stock will be borne by the selling stockholders, the purchasers participating in such transaction, or both.

Any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as amended, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

August 25, 2005 Private Placement

The notes, due August 25, 2008, may be converted into shares of common stock on the basis of one share of common stock for every $5.00 (adjusted to $4.32) in value of notes. The warrants are exercisable into shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 (adjusted to $5.04) per share until August 25, 2008. Each investor is entitled to 50% of the number of shares of common stock underlying the notes. The investors also received an option to make an additional investment of up to 30% of their original investment for 180 days after August 25, 2005 on the same terms, which has expired.

In addition, we issued 72,600 broker’s warrants to 5 brokers, issued on the same terms as the investors’ warrants, representing 4% of the aggregate number of shares of our common stock under the offering and a cash placement fee of 6% of the gross proceeds of the offering for brokerage services in the transaction. We have reserved a total of 87,120 broker’s warrants, which number represents 120% of the number of shares of common stock otherwise issuable under the broker’s warrants.

On January 17, 2008, we entered into a Note and Warrant Amendment Agreement with four of the Note and Warrant holders (accredited investors), whereby we amended the terms of the 6% Convertible Promissory Notes due August 25, 2008. In regards to the Notes and Warrants held by these investors, pursuant to the Note and Warrant Amendment Agreement, the Conversion Price for the Notes has been amended to $0.50 (86% of the closing bid of the last 5 trading days 2007), the term of their Warrants has been amended to expire on August 25, 2009 and the exercise price of the Warrants has been amended to $1.00, unless the Warrants are exercised within 30 business days of the closing date of the Note and Warrant Amendment Agreement dated January 17, 2008, in which case the exercise of the Warrants shall be $0.50. A total of $1,217,849 of principle and accrued interest has been converted at a price of $0.50 into 2,435,698 shares of our common stock. We paid a cash commission of 3% of the gross proceeds for brokerage services in the transaction. Finally, the definition of “Registrable Securities” in the Registration Rights Agreement has been amended to mean the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.

On February 8, 2008, we entered into a Note and Warrant Amendment Agreement with one of the Note and Warrant holders (an accredited investor), whereby we amended the terms of the 6% Convertible Promissory Notes due August 25, 2008. In regards to the Note and Warrant held by the investor, pursuant to the Note and Warrant Amendment Agreement, the Conversion Price for the Note has been amended to $0.50 (86% of the closing bid of the last 5 trading days 2007), the term of the Warrant has been amended to expire on August 25, 2009 and the exercise price of the Warrant has been amended to $1.00, unless the Warrant is exercised within 30 business days of the closing date of the Note and Warrant Amendment Agreement dated February 8, 2008, in which case the exercise of the Warrant shall be $0.50. Finally, the definition of “Registrable Securities” in the Registration Rights Agreement has been amended to mean the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.

On February 11, 2008, RAB Special Situations (Master) Fund Limited converted a portion of their investment, namely $1,001,550 in principal and interest at a price of $0.50 into 2,003,100 shares of our common stock.  We paid a cash commission of 3% of the gross proceeds for brokerage services in the transaction.  Given our recent adjustments to the Note Conversion Price for certain holders of the Notes as described above, we have adjusted the Conversion Price on the remaining balance of RAB’s Convertible Promissory Notes and related accrued interest which was not converted, such that the balance is convertible into shares at a price of $0.65 per share.

Business Development During Last Three Years

General Overview

We are an exploration stage oil and gas company engaged in the exploration for petroleum and natural gas in the State of Nevada and in the Province of Alberta, Canada. We also are engaged in a development drilling program for natural gas in the State of Colorado.

Corporate History

Our company, Eden Energy Corp., was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 29, 1999, under the name E-Com Technologies Corp. On June 16, 2004 we effected a 2 for 1 stock split of our common stock and our preferred stock.

Our Current Business

Eden Energy Corp. is engaged in various stages of exploration and development on multiple projects in the USA and Canada. Currently, these include the Noah and Cherry Creek Projects in Nevada, the Chinchaga Project in Alberta, and the Ant Hill Unit Drilling and Development Project in Colorado.

Noah Project - Nevada

On August 31, 2004, by way of an Assignment Agreement, we acquired Fort Scott Energy Corp’s (“Fort Scott”) interest in a Participation Agreement dated April 26, 2004 with Cedar Strat Corporation (“Cedar Strat”). The Fort Scott/ Cedar Strat Participation Agreement deals with the acquisition and development of petroleum and natural gas rights and leases in an area of mutual interest in eastern Nevada. We named this area of approximately 211,000 gross acres, the Noah Project.

The Assignment Agreement provides for Fort Scott to retain a 2% over- riding royalty in the area of mutual interest and the following considerations:

(i)

the issuance to Fort Scott of 500,000 shares of our common stock;

 

(ii)

the issuance to Fort Scott of 7% interest bearing Promissory Note and Convertible Debenture ($0.25 conversion rate) Units in the principal amount of $500,000. Each Unit entitled Fort Scott to the issuance of one common share in our capital stock and one half of one warrant, with each whole warrant entitling Fort Scott to acquire one additional common share at $0.50 per share; and

 

 

 



25

 

 

 

(iii)

for each 10 million barrels of proven reserves on the lands underlying the leases, we will issue to Fort Scott 1,000,000 shares of common stock, up to a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of common stock.

                The debenture was converted and the associated warrants were exercised for cash in fiscal 2005. Fort Scott retains its 2% over-riding royalty interest on the lands underlying the leases, such that upon the fulfillment of the obligations set out in the Participation Agreement, we will earn an 80.5% net revenue interest in the lands underlying the leases, and Cedar Strat will be vested with a 5% over-riding royalty interest. Cedar Strat also retains a 5% back in working interest which may be adjusted upwards to as much as a 12.5% back in working interest should we elect not to proceed with the drilling election pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement.

Exploration conducted since acquiring Fort Scott’s interest includes the acquisition of proprietary and licensed gravity and magnetic data, processing and interpreting 39 miles of proprietary and other trade licensed seismic data, and the integration of all sub-surface and surface geology, gravity, magnetic, and seismic data.

On March 1, 2007 we entered into a Letter Agreement with Cedar Strat whereby the future development plan of the Noah project was confirmed and approximately 21,000 acres of peripheral leases were transferred to Cedar Strat.

Effective March 29, 2007, we entered into an Amendment to the Participation Agreement with Cedar Strat for this prospect. Under the terms of the Amendment, our acreage block at Noah has been divided into four Prospect Areas with each Prospect Area encompassing approximately 50,000 acres of leases. The Prospect Areas are designated Prospect Area 1 to 4 sequentially from north to south. The Amendment calls for the prospect areas to be worked sequentially from North to South by us either, 1) electing to drill an initial test well within the designated Prospect Area, 2) electing to drill a subsequent well or wells within the designated Prospect Area or 3) electing to shoot a seismic program of no less than twenty-five (25) linear miles in the next sequential untested Prospect Area. As agreed to we will initiate our sequential work by drilling an Initial Test Well in Prospect Area 1 to a depth of approximately 7,000 to 9,000 feet by no later than November 30, 2008.

Under the terms of the Amendment drilling or seismic operations shall begin within each specified Prospect Area no later than 12 months following the required election date (as follows) unless extended by both parties acting reasonably. We shall have ninety (90) days from release of either the drilling rig or completion rig, whichever is later, of the Initial Test Well in the designated Prospect Area, to elect to either drill a Subsequent Well(s) in the Prospect Area or shoot a Seismic Program in the next untested Prospect Area. We shall have 180 days from the release of the seismic crew to elect to drill an Initial Test Well in the newly designated Prospect Area or elect to shoot a Seismic Program in the next untested Prospect Area.

Under the terms of the Amendment if we drill an Initial Test Well or Subsequent Well(s) to the base of the sub-thrust Devonian Formation or 17,000 feet, whichever is shallower, we will retain all rights, title and interest in all leases and lands within that particular Prospect Area. In each Prospect Area that we drill an Initial Test Well or Subsequent Well(s) to a depth shallower than the base of the sub-thrust Devonian or 17,000 feet, we shall retain all rights, title and interest in all leases and lands within the Prospect Area, to a depth of 1000 feet below the base of the deepest Formation penetrated. If in this case we elect not to drill a Subsequent Well then we will offer all deeper rights in the leases within the Prospect Area to Cedar Strat and Cedar Strat shall have 90 days from receipt of such notice in which to exercise this option. Failure of Cedar Strat to exercise its option within such 90 day period shall be deemed as a waiver of its option right.

Should we elect not to drill an Initial Test Well in Prospect Areas 2, 3, or 4 we shall, at Cedar Strat’s option, relinquish and assign to Cedar Strat, all right, title and interest in all leases and lands subject to the Participation Agreement lying within the specific Prospect Area, within 90 days after receiving written notice from Cedar Strat of its intent to exercise its option. Cedar Strat’s right to exercise its option shall also be for a 90 day period after receiving written notice from us of our election not to drill the Prospect Area. Failure of Cedar Strat to exercise its option within such 90 day period shall be deemed as a waiver of its option right.

Rental payments on the initial acreage and any subsequently acquired acreage will be maintained by us during this development period, except on any acreage which Cedar Strat may elect to acquire pursuant to the exercise of its options.

Effective March 29, 2007 we entered into a Farm Out Agreement with Midland Texas based Fasken Nevada - 1, LLC and Fasken Oil and Ranch LP, privately held companies (the “Partner”) for the drilling of the Noah prospect as defined in the Amendment to the Participation Agreement with Cedar Strat. The Partner will pay 2/3rds of the cost to drill, test and complete the first well in the first Prospect Block and Eden will pay 1/3rd. The Partner will act as operator. Upon drilling and completing the first well in Prospect Area 1 the Partner will be assigned a 50% interest in Eden’s leases in Prospect Area 1 as provided for in the Amendment to the Participation Agreement with Cedar Strat.

Provided the Partner has met its obligations in Prospect Area 1, it shall have the option to proceed to develop Prospect Area 2. If it elects to proceed with developing Prospect Area 2, the Partner shall pay a prospect recovery fee of $2,000,000 to Eden for costs incurred on Prospect Area 1 and shall have the right to earn a 50% interest in the Prospect Area by paying 2/3rds of any seismic programs and the drilling and completing to casing point of a second well. Thereafter, the Partner shall continue to have the right to earn in subsequent Prospect Areas under the same terms but with no further prospect recovery fees.

The first well has been staked and is expected to be drilled to a total depth of between 7,000 and 9,000 feet, for an estimated cost of $4,000,000 of which we will pay 1/3rd. On July 9, 2007 we reported the Partner received approval on the required Federal and State permits to drill the well. On July 10, 2007 the Partner advised us that they received approval from the BLM in Ely for the gravel pit(s) for commencement of road and location construction.

On October 4, 2007 we reported that on the advice of our Partner/operator due to the onset of winter conditions, the spudding of the Noah Federal No. 1 well was rescheduled to Spring 2008. Our Partner also advised that construction of the lease access road and drill site was essentially completed and the area would be secured until drilling commencement in 2008.

Cherry Creek Project - Nevada  

On October 21, 2005 we entered into a separate Letter Agreement with Cedar Strat Corporation for the exploration and development of a new project called Cherry Creek. This agreement entitles our company or our Nevada subsidiary, Southern Frontier Explorations Ltd. to acquire petroleum and natural gas rights and leases in an area of mutual interest (AMI) in northeastern Nevada.

Under the terms and conditions of this Letter Agreement, Cedar Strat will manage certain exploration programs within the AMI designed to bring the prospect to a drillable status. Cedar Strat has provided us with copies of the exploration data to which Eden has paid Cedar Strat $216,000. Cedar Strat’s fieldwork has been completed.

Subject to election to drill, we must commence drilling within the AMI within 24 months of receipt by us of all of the exploration data from Cedar Strat, and thereafter must drill at least one development well per year during the term of the agreement.

Effective January 24, 2006, we entered into a formal Joint Participation Agreement with Cedar Strat Corporation. Cedar Strat Corporation provided their acceptance to the formal Joint Participation Agreement on February 16, 2006. Pursuant to the Joint Participation Agreement we agreed to participate in Cedar Strat’s play included within the geographical boundaries of a confidential area, and pay Cedar Strat $750,000 as a prospect fee. We also agreed to accept responsibility for acquiring and funding BLM leases and private fee leases, if applicable, in order to facilitate the exploration efforts. We assumed the obligation to pay the annual rental on such leases.

On March 14, 2006, we acquired at auction approximately 76,459 gross acres of oil and gas lease lands in northeastern Nevada for this project. Subsequent to March 14, 2006, adjustments reduced the number of acres to approximately 69,982 gross acres. On September 30, 2006, we gave notice to surrender the low priority leases to Cedar Strat and retain approximately 18,500 gross acres of premium prospective leases. On December 12, 2006 we acquired approximately 2,500 additional gross acres of oil and gas leases at auction. Subsequent to December 12, 2006 we acquired additional leases from the BLM, some of which were not completed on by a buyer at a previous land sale. On March 1, 2007 we entered into a Letter Agreement with Cedar Strat whereby approximately 2,500 acres of peripheral Cherry Creek acreage were transferred to Cedar Strat leaving us with approximately 26,000 gross acres of oil and gas leases at Cherry Creek. At the present time, further evaluation of the geological and other data is required prior to making additional exploration decisions in

Big Sand Spring Valley Project – Nevada - (Divested of November 16, 2006)

On June 13, 2005, we entered into a separate Agreement with Cedar Strat Corporation, which was formalized into a final Participation Agreement on November 1, 2005. The Participation Agreement entitled Eden Energy Corp. or its Nevada subsidiary, Southern Frontier Explorations Ltd. to acquire and develop petroleum and natural gas rights and leases in an area of mutual interest.

On November 1, 2005, we entered into a Participation Agreement with Merganser Limited (subsequently Eternal Energy Corp.) for the joint development of this project. As set out in the Participation Agreement, on November 8, 2005, we received Eternal’s portion of project costs of US$667,000.

Pursuant to a Letter Agreement between Cedar Strat, Eternal Energy Corp. and Eden Energy Corp. dated November 1, 2006, Eternal Energy Corp. proposed and Eden accepted an offer to purchase 100% of Eden’s interest in the Big Sand Spring Valley Project in consideration for a final payment of $200,000 and a release from any further obligations under the November 1, 2005 Participation Agreement. Formal agreement was entered into November 16, 2006 with described consideration received by Eden, January 9, 2007. Due to the conclusion of this agreement, Eden no longer has any interests or funding obligations in respect to this project.

Chinchaga Project - Alberta

On March 13, 2006, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Eden Energy (North) Ltd., we entered into a farm-in arrangement with Suncor Energy Inc. of Calgary, Alberta. The arrangement provided for Eden to participate, with a 50% working interest and with other minor partners, in the cost to drill an exploratory well on approximately 18,000 gross acres of leases owned by Suncor while retaining options to drill a second well to earn additional acreage. The exploration target was a dolomitized Slave Point reef at a depth of approximately 8,900 feet in Northwestern Alberta. Suncor retains a 12.5% gross overriding royalty on the lands, which are known as the Chinchaga area.

By drilling the first well, which was plugged and abandoned on January 22, 2007, Eden earned a 50% working interest in approximately 7,000 gross acres. Our partners and we elected not to drill the Option Well or acquire the Block 1 – Option Lands nor purchase the additional Block 2 Option Lands that were available. The joint venture partners acquired an additional 1,279 gross acres at a February 8, 2007 land sale of which Eden holds a 55.56% working interest in due to one partner declining to participate in the land acquisition. Currently, Eden and its partners are evaluating the Farmout Lands earned from the first well and the recently acquired lands in Chinchaga before making any further exploration decisions.

On February 14, 2007, Eden entered into a separate farm-in arrangement with Suncor Energy Inc. of Calgary, Alberta. Under the terms of this arrangement Eden participated with a 10% working interest, in the drilling of an exploratory well and earned a 10% working interest in approximately 9,600 gross acres. The exploration target was a dolomitized Slave Point reef at a depth of approximately 8,400 feet in northwestern Alberta, also known as Chinchaga. Suncor retains a 12.5% gross overriding royalty on these lands. Eden acquired a 10% interest in an additional 5,120 gross acres of offsetting lands at an approximate gross cost of $600,000 to the joint venture partnership. These lands are subject to a 7.5% overriding royalty to Suncor. Eden also earned a first right of refusal to equalize to its proportionate share in another 5,760 gross acres held by Suncor.

The well spud on February 10, 2007 and reached final depth of 8,415 feet. On March 19, 2007, our partners and we reported the well was dry and was to be abandoned.

On October 4, 2007, we reported we plan to conduct additional seismic operations this winter and if warranted drill one new well at Chinchaga the following winter drilling season. On November 2, 2007 the Operator advised us and we agreed to continue to evaluate the area, but in light of the soft natural gas market and changes in the Alberta royalty rates, we may delay seismic operations until next year.

Ant Hill Unit Drilling and Development Project – Colorado

The Ant Hill Project is a development drilling program located in the Piceance Basin of western Colorado. Effective September 1, 2006, through our wholly owned subsidiary Eden Energy Colorado LLC, we entered into a farm-in agreement with Starlight Oil and Gas LLC and Starlight Corporation under which Eden and Starlight will undertake development drilling on the eastern flank of the White River Dome field located in T2N-R96&97W, Rio Blanco County, Colorado. Under the terms of the agreement, Eden has paid Starlight a prospect fee of $900,000. Starlight will participate for a 10% working interest and Eden will have a 75% working interest in the prospective lands. Starlight will retain a 7.5% gross overriding royalty on the lands.

The Ant Hill Unit is a 20,000 acre federal exploratory unit currently operated by EnCana Oil and Gas (USA). Under a Drilling and Development Agreement executed between Starlight (a private Colorado company) and EnCana on May 5, 2006, and which Eden became a party to, Eden and Starlight have agreed to drill a minimum of four additional wells in areas outside of the current Participating Areas (PA’s) commencing in the fall of 2006. The wells will be drilled on 160 acre drilling blocks typically encompassing standard governmental quarter sections. By drilling and completing these wells, the existing federal exploratory unit will remain in effect for several more years. Eden and Starlight will carry EnCana for 15% of the total well cost in each new well drilled on 40-acre drill site quarter/quarter section. For each well drilled, Eden and Starlight will also earn a 100% interest in a diagonal 40-acre tract, located in the same 160-acre quarter section. EnCana retains its 100% interest in the two remaining offset locations in each 160 acre drilling block.

After the initial four locations are drilled, Eden and Starlight may elect to develop additional 160-acre drilling blocks on any acreage outside the existing PA’s under the same terms. There are 34 potential 160-acre drilling blocks outside of the existing PA’s that have not been developed, resulting in 68 potential drilling locations on what is effectively 40-acre spacing. There is also the potential to develop the field on 20-acre spacing, which would provide for another 68 drilling locations.

The primary targets are the Cameo Coal and Williams Fork Sandstones of the Cretaceous Mesaverde Group, found at an average depth of 8,100 feet. Cumulative production from the field is in excess of 65 BCF from 157 wells, with current production averaging 11 MMCF/D from 100 active wells. Typical well life in the field is 17 years. Eden estimates ultimate reserves per well to be approximately 1.07 BCF per well, with an initial production rate of approximately 710mcfd. Gas from the Ant Hill unit typically contains about 25% carbon dioxide, which is removed at a local natural gas treatment plant. Drilling and completion costs are estimated to be in the $2,000,000 range per well throughout the field. Operations in the White River Dome Field are largely prohibited in the winter months.

                The first well (Love Federal 17-42) under the agreement spud on September 21, 2006 and took 13 days to drill and set production casing. The second well (Love Federal 17 -21) spud on October 8, 2006 and took 12 days to drill and set production casing. Once both wells were cased the rig was released for the winter. Fracture stimulation commenced on Well 1 October 28, 2006 and Well 2 November 4, 2006.

In December 2006 we announced the tie-in of these first two wells and that they had good sand and coal thicknesses in the order of other proven wells in the field. These first two wells were completed using modern frac techniques designed to increase fracture half lengths from less than 100 feet traditionally to greater than 300 feet. The Love Federal 17-21 has experienced high water production rates, which has restricted the flow of gas naturally. The Love Federal 17- 42 was completed in the Cameo coal section only and despite our subsequent scaling treatment procedure is currently not producing. Both wells will be recompleted which our company believes will bring production more in line with anticipated levels.

On August 31, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Starlight Oil & Gas LLC and Starlight Operating Company, Inc. (Starlight) whereby Starlight shall assign to Eden all of its rights, title, and interests in both the Ant Hill Drilling and Development Agreement with EnCana and the related Participation Agreement with Eden.

On October 10, 2007 we reported spudding well AHU #18 - 23 with an expected 12 days drilling to reach approximately 8000 feet. Upon completion the rig will immediately move to the AHU #8-12 location. After drilling to total depth of approximately 8000 feet, the wells will be logged and the rig will be released. If justified by well logs, a completion rig will be moved on to fracture stimulate the wells and put them into production. Our company expects to have both these wells drilled and completed by year end.

We also reported that workover operations on the LF 17-21 well began on October 9, 2007. The plan calls for the lowermost perforations of the well to be tested for water production and isolated from the remainder of the Cameo and Williams Fork section, following which the well will be placed back on production and the completion rig moved to the LF 17-42. The recompletion program for the LF 17-42 consists of new perforations and fracture treatments over previously bypassed zones in the Williams Fork as well as re-perforations over zones in the Cameo that our company believes have additional potential. After recompleting the LF 17-42 well the completion rig will move back to the LF 17-21 well to perform a similar recompletion program if necessary or on to the AHU 18-23 for completion operations.

On December 31, 2007 we reported on the progress of these wells and with completion operations nearing conclusion we expect to report further in the near future.

Competition

The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive. We compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas companies, which have substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources and staff. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable oil and gas leases, suitable properties for drilling operations and necessary drilling equipment, as well as for access to funds. There are other competitors that have operations in the Nevada and Northern Alberta areas and the presence of these competitors could adversely affect our ability to acquire additional leases.

Governmental Regulations

Our oil and gas operations are subject to various United States and Canadian federal, state/provincial and local governmental regulations. Matters subject to regulation include discharge permits for drilling operations, drilling and abandonment bonds, reports concerning operations, the spacing of wells, and pooling of properties and taxation. From time to time, regulatory agencies have imposed price controls and limitations on production by restricting the rate of flow of oil and gas wells below actual production capacity in order to conserve supplies of oil and gas. The production, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of oil and gas, by-products thereof, and other substances and materials produced or used in connection with oil and gas operations are also subject to regulation under federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating primarily to the protection of human health and the environment. To date, expenditures related to complying with these laws, and for remediation of existing environmental contamination, have not been significant in relation to the results of operations of our company. The requirements imposed by such laws and regulations are frequently changed and subject to interpretation, and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with these requirements or their effect on our operations.

Research and Development

Our business plan is focused on a strategy for maximizing the long-term exploration and development of our oil and gas leases in Nevada, Alberta, and Colorado. To date, execution of our business plan has largely focused on acquiring prospective oil and gas leases and with early stage exploration and evaluation of acquired data. With this stage completed we intend to use the results obtained from this dedicated research to move forward with an exploratory drilling and development plan. Effective September 1, 2006 we are engaged in natural gas development drilling in Colorado.

Employees

Currently our only employees are our directors, officers, office administrator and an investor relations consultant. We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next 12 month period. We do and will continue to outsource contract employment as needed. However, with project advancement and if we are successful in our initial and

 

 



31

 

any subsequent drilling programs we may retain additional employees.

Effective May 1, 2006 Larry Kellison was appointed Chief Operating Officer. Effective June 11, 2007 Ralph Stensaker, CGA, MBA was appointed to our Board of Directors and Audit Committee.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this registration statement. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this registration statement, particularly in the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 6 of this registration statement.

Our consolidated audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Overview

We are a Nevada corporation incorporated on January 29, 1999. We were previously involved in the business of providing internet and programming services through our subsidiary company to clients located primarily in Canada. Our principal products and services included the development of e-commerce web sites and strategies, web design and hosting, domain name registration, Internet marketing and consulting and custom programming of web based applications. Due to the inability to run this business with a profit and the difficulty in attracting additional capital on terms favorable to existing shareholders, we ceased operation of this business and disposed of our subsidiary company on December 31, 2003 for nominal consideration. We are now an exploration stage oil and gas company engaged in the exploration for petroleum and natural gas in the State of Nevada and the Province of Alberta, Canada. We also are engaged in a development drilling program for natural gas in the State of Colorado.

PLAN OF OPERATIONS AND CASH REQUIREMENTS

Cash Requirements

For the next 12 months we plan to continue to explore, drill, and evaluate our leases in eastern Nevada. We expect to continue to participate in our Alberta projects as our 50% and 10% joint venture exploration agreements provide for. We plan also to continue with our development drilling program in Colorado.

Currently in Nevada we hold approximately 190,000 gross acres pursuant to lease agreements on the Noah Project and approximately 26,000 gross acres pursuant to lease agreements on the Cherry Creek Project. The expiration dates for the leases are in 2014, 2015, and 2016 respectively. The leases may be extended upon production from the leases. In Colorado, we hold 160 gross acres in our White River Dome development drilling project. In Alberta we hold approximately 5,120 gross acres in our 50% working interest joint exploration agreement and an additional 1,280 gross acres with a 55.56% interest due to one partner not participating in a February 2007 lease sale. We hold an approximate 14,080 gross acres and the right of first refusal on another 5,760 gross acres in our 10% working interest joint venture exploration agreement.

Our portfolio of exploration projects includes the Noah and Cherry Creek projects in the USA, and the Chinchaga Project in Alberta. Based on our current interpretation of the Noah Project, we estimate a cost to drill our first exploratory well to approximately 9,000 feet in Prospect Area 1 to be in the $4,000,000 range, plus contingency. Subject to the results from this first well, we plan to work with the Partner and continue with exploration on the Noah. With an election by our Partner to proceed on Prospect Area 2 we will receive a $2,000,000 project recovery fee from the Partner, and expect to commence with a new seismic program currently estimated at $3,000,000 of which we will pay one third (1/3) of the costs.

Due to seasonal access limitations and other considerations in the Ant Hill Unit we are revising the development well drilling schedule over the next 12 month period to align with the commitment obligations in the area. We have budgeted for

 

 



32

 

two additional wells in the Ant Hill Unit as well as the re-completion of the existing two wells, in total estimated at approximately $4,800,000. Subject to positive election to continue to drill in 2008, we are budgeting for six additional wells over the drilling season of May 1, 2008 to December 1, 2008 of which the cost of five of these six wells is included in the table of estimated expenditures for the next 12 month period, which follows. The total estimated cost of development in the Ant Hill Unit over the next 12 month period is approximately $15,000,000 including engineering reports and well permitting costs. We estimate based on original well projections that these new wells combined with production from the two recompleted wells will provide approximately $2,000,000 in net cash for the period and approximately 7Bcf of gross reserves. To date we have received or accrued approximately $42,000 gross (approximately $32,000 net after gas processing fees deducted) from gas and liquid sales from the first two wells, which represents production from the two wells prior to their recompletion.

We are budgeting for our first exploratory well in Nevada with a net cost estimated at approximately $1,333,334, plus a further seismic exploration estimate of $1,000,000. These budgeted amounts do not reflect the Partner $2,000,000 project recovery fee which would be payable to us upon their election to proceed. We are budgeting an estimated net $1,500,000 for seismic exploration work in Chinchaga Alberta.

Combined, we have budgeted an approximate $18,800,000 over the next 12 month period for exploration and drilling programs on our projects, however, approximately $12,500,000 of the budgeted amount is success based, subject to management review of field results and other criteria, and to be expended only with positive election to proceed by our company. As it relates to our Colorado development-drilling program, our planned expenditures are expected to be linked to securing industry reserve based financing.

Our net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $nil. Our total net cash provided by financing since January 1, 2004, the date of inception of the exploration stage to September 30, 2007 was $38,306,870.

We will require additional funds to implement our growth strategy in our oil and gas exploration and development operations. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is still no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on his investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable.

In order to proceed with our plans we have raised funds by way of a private placement of equity and debt securities in our company. Our initial offering consisted of 6,190,000 shares at a price of $0.50 per share for gross proceeds of $3,095,000. We closed the private placement on November 12, 2004 and issued certificates on November 17, 2004. The net proceeds received have been used as working capital to allow us to finance our commitments under the assignment agreement previously discussed. On November 24, 2004, we issued a further 20,000 shares at a price of $0.50 per share for gross proceeds of $10,000.

On April 5, 2005, we issued 3,840,067 shares and 1,920,035 share purchase warrants at a price of $1.50 per share for gross proceeds of $5,760,100. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional share of common stock of our company at a price of $2.00 per share until April 4, 2006. On April 27, 2005, we issued 200,000 shares and 100,000 share purchase warrants at a price of $1.50 per share for gross proceeds of $300,000. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional share of common stock of our company at a price of $2.00 per share until April 27, 2006. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, 1,962,535 shares were issued on the exercise of 1,962,535 warrants, and on February 6, 2006 we issued the final 57,500 shares on the exercise of the final 57,500 warrants.

On August 25, 2005 we issued convertible promissory notes with a principal amount of $9,075,000, and 907,500 Series “A” detachable share purchase warrants. The notes bear interest at 6% per annum, mature on August 25, 2008, and may be converted into 1,815,000 shares of common stock on the basis of one share of common stock for every $5 in value of Notes. Each warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6 per share until August 25, 2008. The investors also have the option to make an additional investment of up to 30% of their original investment for 180 days after the closing date, on the same terms as the original investment. No further investments were made under this option. On November 28, 2005, we issued 90,000 shares of common stock upon the conversion of a portion of our convertible

 

 



33

 

promissory notes. On December 1, 2005 we issued 59,291 shares of common stock in lieu of a cash interest payment on the convertible promissory notes. The Conversion Price and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustments under certain conditions and events occurring, including the issue of common stock and common stock equivalents at a price per share less than the Conversion Price or Exercise Price. Upon the completion of the financing on February 24, 2006 the Conversion Price was reduced from $5.00 to $4.32, and the Exercise Price was reduced from $6.00 to $5.04. On June 1, 2006 we issued 113,258 shares of common stock in lieu of a cash interest payment on the convertible promissory notes. On December 1, 2006 we issued 149,466 shares of common stock in lieu of a cash interest payment on the convertible promissory notes. On June 1, 2007 we issued 242,245 shares of common stock in lieu of a cash interest payment on the convertible promissory notes. On December 1, 2007 we issued 332,886 shares of common stock in lieu of a cash interest payment on the convertible promissory notes.

On September 27, 2005, we issued 1,065,972 shares of common stock upon the exercise of 1,065,972 share purchase warrants at $0.50 per share for proceeds of $532,986. On November 8, 2005, we received a portion of an initial project acquisition cost in the amount of US$667,000. On January 9, 2007 we received final payment relating to the same project divesture in the amount of US$200,000.

On February 17 and 23, 2006, we issued a combined total of 7,366,520 shares and 14,733,040 share purchase warrants at a price of $2.25 per share for gross proceeds of $16,574,670. The warrant entitles the holders to purchase an additional 7,366,520 shares of common stock of our company at a price of $3.25 per share and an additional 7,366,520 shares of common stock at a price of $5.25 per share until February 16, 2009. On July 31, 2006 we issued 165,774 shares of common stock pursuant to the financing’s registration requirements.

On January 17, 2008, we entered into a Note and Warrant Amendment Agreement with four of the Note and Warrant holders (accredited investors), whereby we amended the terms of the 6% Convertible Promissory Notes due August 25, 2008. In regards to the Notes and Warrants held by these investors, pursuant to the Note and Warrant Amendment Agreement, the Conversion Price for the Notes has been amended to $0.50 (86% of the closing bid of the last 5 trading days 2007), the term of their Warrants has been amended to expire on August 25, 2009 and the exercise price of the Warrants has been amended to $1.00, unless the Warrants are exercised within 30 business days of the closing date of the Note and Warrant Amendment Agreement dated January 17, 2008, in which case the exercise of the Warrants shall be $0.50. Finally, the definition of “Registrable Securities” in the Registration Rights Agreement has been amended to mean the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.

On February 8, 2008, we entered into a Note and Warrant Amendment Agreement with one of the Note and Warrant holders (an accredited investor), whereby we amended the terms of the 6% Convertible Promissory Notes due August 25, 2008. In regards to the Note and Warrant held by the investor, pursuant to the Note and Warrant Amendment Agreement, the Conversion Price for the Note has been amended to $0.50 (86% of the closing bid of the last 5 trading days 2007), the term of the Warrant has been amended to expire on August 25, 2009 and the exercise price of the Warrant has been amended to $1.00, unless the Warrant is exercised within 30 business days of the closing date of the Note and Warrant Amendment Agreement dated February 8, 2008, in which case the exercise of the Warrant shall be $0.50. Finally, the definition of “Registrable Securities” in the Registration Rights Agreement has been amended to mean the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.

On February 11, 2008, RAB Special Situations (Master) Fund Limited converted a portion of their investment, namely $1,001,550 in principal and interest at a price of $0.50 into 2,003,100 shares of our common stock.  We paid a cash commission of 3% of the gross proceeds for brokerage services in the transaction.  Given our recent adjustments to the Note Conversion Price for certain holders of the Notes as described above, we have adjusted the Conversion Price on the remaining balance of RAB’s Convertible Promissory Notes and related accrued interest which was not converted, such that the balance is convertible into shares at a price of $0.65 per share.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Promissory Notes and with the exception of the $0.65 Notes held by RAB Special Situations (Master) Fund Limited as described above, Notes not converted under the aforementioned Amendment will be repriced to approximately $3.96 and unexercised Warrants will be repriced to approximately $4.61.  The number of potential shares issuable upon Note conversion is approximately 5,546,551.

                As at September 30, 2007 we had $236,488 in current liabilities. Our net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $198,478 compared to $657,047 used in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Our accumulated losses increased to $13,557,251 as of September 30, 2007 of which $13,002,112 related to our current business of oil and gas exploration, and $555,139 related to the early technology business prior to business change. Our financial statements report a net loss of $900,048 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to a net loss of $3,245,701 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006. Our losses have decreased primarily as a result of capitalizing interest costs on convertible notes to oil and gas properties in 2007 of $689,158 as well as a reduction in stock-based compensation of $864,287. Interest income increased to $800,669 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $596,323 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as a result of higher average interest rates during the 2007 fiscal period of approximately 4.3% as compared to 2.3% for the 2006 fiscal period. Average cash balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $23,000,000 as compared to $24,500,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Our total liabilities as of September 30, 2007 were $8,269,212 as compared to total liabilities of $7,810,605 as of December 31, 2006. The slight increase was due to the accretion of the discount on our Convertible Notes, which increased the carrying value for our Convertible Notes from $7,548,134 as at December 31, 2006 to $8,032,724 as at September 30, 2007, as well as a decrease in accounts payable (from $262,471 as at December 31, 2006 to $236,488 as at September 30, 2007).

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 we incurred $1,561,838 on exploration and acquisition of our oil and gas properties (of which $689,148 is capitalized interest) as compared to $6,045,485 incurred during the nine month period ended September 30, 2006. Of this amount $112,136 was attributable to acquisition costs (2006 - $2,012,990), and $1,449,702 (2006 - $4,032,490) was attributable to exploration costs.

We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed. In this regard we have raised additional capital through the equity offerings noted above.

The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing, a successful program of exploration, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. As noted herein, we are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.

Product Research and Development

Our business plan is focused on a strategy for maximizing the long-term exploration and development of our oil and gas leases in Nevada and Alberta as well as expanding our development drilling program in Colorado. To date, execution of our business plan has largely focused on acquiring prospective oil and gas leases and with early stage exploration and evaluation of acquired data. With this stage completed we intend to use the results obtained from this dedicated research to move forward with an exploratory drilling and development plan. Effective September 1, 2006, we are engaged in natural gas development drilling in Colorado.

Purchase of Significant Equipment

We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment (excluding oil and gas activities) over the twelve months ending September 30, 2008 other than office computers, furnishings, and communication equipment as required.

Corporate Offices

Our corporate offices are located at Suite 1680, 200 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 3L6. On July 6, 2007 we agreed to enter into a five-year office lease commencing September 1, 2007 for approximately 4,574 square feet of rentable area at a gross cost of approximately $24,000 per month. Within this space we are permitted to sublease to multiple tenants and currently have 4 sublease tenants secured with gross rent of approximately $9.750 per month. Once completely subleased our total rentable area and associated costs should be reduced by up to approximately 60%.

Employees

Currently our only employees are our directors, officers, corporate manager, and investor relation’s consultant. We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next 12 month period. We do and will continue to outsource contract employment as needed. However, with project advancement and if we are successful in our initial and any subsequent drilling programs we may retain additional employees.

Effective May 1, 2006 Larry Kellison was appointed Chief Operating Officer. Effective June 11, 2007 Ralph Stensaker, CGA, MBA was appointed to our Board of Directors and Audit Committee.

Going Concern

We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should our company discontinue operations.

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating expenses and the capital expenses noted above, in their report on the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash

commitments.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 109”. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of first evaluating whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold and second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on the presentation of such positions within a classified statement of financial position as well as on derecognition, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on our company's reported financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This statement requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position and results of operations.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.

Oil and Gas Properties

We utilize the full cost method to account for our investment in oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including such costs as leasehold acquisition costs, capitalized interest costs relating to unproved properties, geological expenditures, and tangible and intangible development costs including direct internal costs are capitalized to the full cost pool. As of September 30, 2007, we have no

 

 



37

 

properties with proven reserves. When we obtain proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. Investments in unproved properties and major development projects including capitalized interest, if any, are not depleted until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined. If the future exploration of unproved properties are determined uneconomical the amount of such properties are added to the capitalized cost to be depleted. As of September 30, 2007, all of our oil and gas properties were unproved and were excluded from depletion. At September 30, 2007, management believes none of our unproved oil and gas properties were considered impaired other than as previously reported.

The capitalized costs included in the full cost pool are subject to a "ceiling test", which limits such costs to the aggregate of the estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of the future net revenues from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions plus the lower of cost and estimated net realizable value of unproven properties.

Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. We recognize impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.

Revenue Recognition

Oil and natural gas revenues are recorded using the sales method whereby our company recognizes oil and natural gas revenue based on the amount of oil and gas sold to purchasers when title passes, the amount is determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Actual sales of gas are based on sales, net of the associated volume charges for processing fees and for costs associated with delivery, transportation, marketing, and royalties in accordance with industry standards. Operating costs and taxes are recognized in the same period of which revenue is earned.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Other than as listed below, we have not been a party to any transaction, proposed transaction, or series of transactions in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000, and in which, to our knowledge, any of our directors, officers, five percent beneficial security holder, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons has had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Over the year ended December 31, 2006, our company incurred management fee expenses in the amount of $371,000 and consulting fee expenses in the amount of $84,000.

A management fee expense of $175,000 was charged by D. Sharpe Management Inc., a company wholly-owned by Donald Sharpe, our president and a director of our company.

On December 21, 2007, we entered into an Amended Management Consulting Agreement with Larry Kellison whereby, effective January 1, 2008, we pay Larry Kellison $12,587 per month for management services rendered by Larry Kellison.

Corporate Governance

We currently act with four (4) directors, consisting of Donald Sharpe, Drew Bonnell, John Martin and Ralph Stensaker.

We have determined that John Martin and Ralph Stensaker are independent directors, as that term is used in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Rules of National Association of Securities Dealers.

Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We currently do not have nominating, compensation committees or committees performing similar functions. There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our board of directors has determined that it does have a member of its audit committee who qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B, and is “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

From inception to present date, we believe that the members of our audit committee and the board of directors have been and are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in United States Dollars)

(Unaudited)

1.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Eden Energy Corp. (the “Company”) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for interim financial information and conforms with instructions to Form 10-QSB of Regulation S-B and reflects all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the entire year ending December 31, 2007. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2006, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The accounting principles applied in the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied for the year ended December 31, 2006 with the addition of the accounting policy disclosed in Note 3.

2.

Nature and Continuance of Operations

The Company is primarily involved in oil and gas exploration activities in Alberta, Canada, and Colorado and Nevada, USA. Under the terms of its Participation Agreements, the Company has committed to fund ongoing leasehold and applicable exploration expenses required to take the prospects to drillable stages, currently estimated at net $324,000 over the next 12 months.

Combined, the Company has budgeted an approximate $18,800,000 over the next 12 month period for exploration and drilling programs on the Company’s projects; however, approximately $12,500,000 of the budgeted amount is success based, subject to management review of field results and other criteria, and to be expended only with positive election to proceed by the Company. As it relates to the Colorado development-drilling program, the Company’s planned expenditures are expected to be linked to securing industry reserve based financing.

The Company’s interim consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company is in the exploration stage of its resource business and has experienced negative cash flows from operations to date and has accumulated losses of $13,002,112 since inception of the exploration stage. To date the Company has funded operations through the issuance of capital stock and debt. Management’s plan is to continue raising additional funds through future equity or debt financings as needed until it achieves profitable operations from its oil and gas activities. The ability of the Company to continue its operations as a going concern is dependent on continuing to raise sufficient new capital to fund its exploration and development commitments and to fund ongoing losses if, as and when needed, and ultimately on generating profitable operations.

3.

Significant Accounting Policy

Revenue Recognition

Oil and natural gas revenues are recorded using the sales method whereby the Company recognizes oil and natural gas revenue based on the amount of oil and gas sold to purchasers when title passes, the amount is determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Actual sales of gas are based on sales, net of the associated volume charges for processing fees and for costs associated with delivery, transportation, marketing, and royalties in accordance with industry standards. Operating costs and taxes are recognized in the same period of which revenue is earned.

Noah Project - Nevada

The Company entered into an Assignment Agreement with Fort Scott Energy Corp (“Fort Scott”) dated August 5, 2004, in which the Company acquired Fort Scott’s interest in a Participation Agreement dated April 26, 2004 with Cedar Strat Corporation (“Cedar Strat”). The Participation Agreement provided for the acquisition and development of certain petroleum and natural gas rights and leases in an area of mutual interest in eastern Nevada, consisting of approximately 211,000 gross acres, known as the Noah Project.

The Assignment Agreement provides for Fort Scott to retain a 2% over-riding royalty in the area of mutual interest and for each 10 million barrels of proven reserves on the lands underlying the leases, the Company is committed to issue 1,000,000 shares of common stock to Fort Scott, up to a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of common stock.

Upon the fulfillment of the obligations set out in the Participation Agreement, the Company will earn an 80.5% net revenue interest in the lands underlying the leases, and Cedar Strat will be vested with a 5% over-riding royalty interest. Cedar Strat also retains a 5% back in working interest which may be adjusted upwards to as much as a 12.5% back in working interest should the Company elect not to proceed with the drilling election pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement.

On March 1, 2007, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with Cedar Strat whereby the future development plan of the Noah project was confirmed and approximately 21,000 acres of peripheral leases were transferred to Cedar Strat.

Effective March 29, 2007, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Participation Agreement with Cedar Strat for this prospect. Under the terms of the Amendment, the acreage block at Noah has been divided into four Prospect Areas with each Prospect Area encompassing approximately 50,000 acres of leases. The Prospect Areas are designated Prospect Area 1 to 4 sequentially from north to south. The Amendment calls for the prospect areas to be worked sequentially from North to South by the Company either by; 1) electing to drill an initial test well within the designated Prospect Area, 2) electing to drill a subsequent well or wells within the designated Prospect Area or, 3) electing to shoot a seismic program of no less than twenty-five linear miles in the next sequential untested Prospect Area. As agreed to, the Company will initiate the sequential work by drilling an Initial Test Well in Prospect Area 1 to a depth of approximately 7,000 to 9,000 feet by no later than November 30, 2008.

Oil and Gas Properties (continued)

Under the terms of the Amendment, drilling or seismic operations shall begin within each specified Prospect Area no later than 12 months following the required election date (as follows) unless extended by both parties acting reasonably. The Company shall have ninety (90) days from release of either the drilling rig or completion rig, whichever is later, of the Initial Test Well in the designated Prospect Area, to elect to either drill a Subsequent Well(s) in the Prospect Area or shoot a Seismic Program in the next untested Prospect Area. The Company shall have 180 days from the release of the seismic crew to elect to drill an Initial Test Well in the newly designated Prospect Area or elect to shoot a Seismic Program in the next untested Prospect Area.

Under the terms of the Amendment, if the Company drills an Initial Test Well or Subsequent Well(s) to the base of the sub-thrust Devonian Formation or 17,000 feet, whichever is shallower, the Company will retain all rights, title and interest in all leases and lands within that particular Prospect Area. In each Prospect Area that the Company drills an Initial Test Well or Subsequent Well(s) to a depth shallower than the base of the sub-thrust Devonian or 17,000 feet, ,the Company shall retain all rights, title and interest in all leases and lands within the Prospect Area, to a depth of 1,000 feet below the base of the deepest Formation penetrated If in this case, the Company elects not to drill a Subsequent Well, then the Company will offer all deeper rights in the leases within the Prospect Area to Cedar Strat and Cedar Strat shall have 90 days from receipt of such notice in which to exercise this option. Failure of Cedar Strat to exercise its option within such 90 day period shall be deemed as a waiver of its option right.

Should the Company elect not to drill an Initial Test Well in Prospect Areas 2, 3, or 4, then the Company shall, at Cedar Strat’s option, relinquish and assign to Cedar Strat, all right, title and interest in all leases and lands subject to the Participation Agreement lying within the specific Prospect Area, within 90 days after receiving written notice from Cedar Strat of its intent to exercise its option. Cedar Strat’s right to exercise its option shall also be for a 90 day period after receiving written notice from the Company of its election not to drill the Prospect Area. Failure of Cedar Strat to exercise its option within such 90 day period shall be deemed as a waiver of its option right.

Rental payments on the initial acreage and any subsequently acquired acreage will be maintained by the Company during this development period, except on any acreage which Cedar Strat may elect to acquire pursuant to the exercise of its options.

Effective March 29, 2007, the Company entered into a Farm Out Agreement with Midland Texas based Fasken Nevada - 1, LLC and Fasken Oil and Ranch LP, privately held companies (the “Partner”) for the drilling of the Noah prospect as defined in the Amendment to the Participation Agreement with Cedar Strat. The Partner will pay 2/3rd’s of the cost to drill, test and complete the first well in the first Prospect Block and the Company will pay 1/3rd. The Partner will act as operator. Upon drilling and completing the first well in Prospect Area 1 the Partner will be assigned a 50% interest in the Company’s leases in Prospect Area 1 as provided for in the Amendment to the Participation Agreement with Cedar Strat.

Provided the Partner has met its obligations in Prospect Area 1, it shall have the option to proceed to develop Prospect Area 2. If it elects to proceed with developing Prospect Area 2, the Partner shall pay a prospect recovery fee of $2,000,000 to the Company for costs incurred on Prospect Area 1 and shall have the right to earn a 50% interest in the Prospect Area by paying 2/3rd’s of any seismic programs and the drilling and completing to casing point of a second well. Thereafter, the Partner shall continue to have the right to earn in subsequent Prospect Areas under the same terms but with no further prospect recovery fees.

The first well has been staked and is expected to be drilled to a total depth of between 7,000 and 9,000 feet, for an estimated net cost to the Company of $1,340,000.

Cherry Creek Project - Nevada  

On October 21, 2005, the Company entered into a separate Letter Agreement with Cedar Strat for the exploration and development of petroleum and natural gas rights and leases in an area of mutual interest (AMI) in northeastern Nevada, known as the Cherry Creek project. The Company paid Cedar Strat $216,000 for exploration expenses, which included gravity and field mapping.

Effective January 24, 2006, the Company entered into a formal Joint Participation Agreement with Cedar Strat for the Cherry Creek project. Pursuant to the Joint Participation Agreement, the Company agreed to participate in Cedar Strat’s Cherry Creek project and pay Cedar Strat a $750,000 prospect fee. The Company also agreed to accept responsibility for acquiring and funding BLM leases and private fee leases, if applicable, in order to facilitate the exploration efforts. The Company assumed the obligation to pay the annual rental on such leases.

On March 14, 2006, the Company acquired approximately 76,459 gross acres of oil and gas lease lands at auction in northeastern Nevada, which were subsequently reduced to approximately 69,982 gross acres. On September 30, 2006, the Company gave notice to surrender the low priority leases to Cedar Strat and retained approximately 18,500 gross acres of premium prospective leases. On December 12, 2006, the Company acquired approximately 2,500 additional gross acres of oil and gas leases at auction. Subsequent to December 12, 2006 the Company acquired additional leases from the BLM, some of which were not completed on by a buyer at a previous land sale, On March 1, 2007 the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with Cedar Strat whereby approximately 2,500 acres of peripheral Cherry Creek acreage were transferred to Cedar Strat leaving the Company with approximately 26,000 gross acres of oil and gas leases at Cherry Creek, At the present time, further evaluation of the geological and other data is required prior to making additional exploration decisions in this area.

Big Sand Spring Valley Project – Nevada - (Divested November 16, 2006)

On June 14, 2005, the Company entered into a separate agreement with Cedar Strat which was formalized into a final Participation Agreement on November 1, 2005. The Participation Agreement entitled the Company to acquire and develop petroleum and natural gas rights and leases in an area of mutual interest. On November 1, 2005, the Company entered into a Participation Agreement with Merganser Limited (subsequently Eternal Energy Corp.) (“Eternal”) for the joint development of this project, and on November 8, 2005, received Eternal’s portion of project costs of US$667,000.

Pursuant to a Letter Agreement dated November 1, 2006, between Cedar Strat, Eternal and the Company, and formalized by an agreement dated November 16, 2006, Eternal acquired 100% of the Company’s interest in the Big Sand Spring Valley Project in consideration for a final payment of $200,000 (received on January 9, 2007) and a release from any further obligations under the November 1, 2005 Participation Agreement.

Chinchaga Project - Alberta

On March 13, 2006, the Company entered into a farm-in arrangement with Suncor Energy Inc. (“Suncor”) of Calgary, Alberta. The arrangement provided for the Company to participate, with a 50% working interest and with other minor partners, in the cost to drill an exploratory well on approximately 18,000 gross acres of leases owned by Suncor, while retaining options to drill a second well to earn additional acreage. Suncor retains a 12.5% gross overriding royalty on the lands which are known as the Chinchaga area.

By drilling the first well which was plugged and abandoned on January 22, 2007, the Company earned a 50% working interest in approximately 7,000 gross acres. The Company and its partners elected not to drill the Option Well or acquire the Block 1 – Option Lands, nor purchase the additional Block 2 Option Lands that were available. The joint venture partners acquired an additional 1,279 gross acres at a February 8, 2007 land sale of which the Company holds a 55.56% working interest, due to one partner declining to participate in the land acquisition. Currently, the Company and its partners are evaluating the Farmout Lands earned from the first well and the recently acquired lands in Chinchaga before making any further exploration decisions.

Oil and Gas Properties (continued)

On February 14, 2007, the Company entered into a separate farm-in arrangement with Suncor. Under the terms of this arrangement, the Company participated with a 10% working interest, in the drilling of an exploratory well and earned a 10% working interest in approximately 9,600 gross acres. Suncor retains a 12.5% gross overriding royalty on these lands. The Company acquired a 10% interest in an additional 5,120 gross acres of offsetting lands at an approximate gross cost of $600,000 to the joint venture partnership. These lands are subject to a 7.5% overriding royalty to Suncor. The Company also earned a first right of refusal to equalize to its proportionate share in another 5,760 gross acres held by Suncor. The well spud on February 10, 2007 and reached final depth of 8,415 feet. On March 19, 2007, the Company and its partners reported the well was dry and was to be abandoned.

On October 4, 2007 the Company reported its plan to conduct additional seismic operations this winter and if warranted drill one new well at Chinchaga the following winter drilling season. On November 2, 2007 the Operator recommended and the Company agreed, in light of the soft natural gas market and changes to Alberta royalty rates, to continue evaluating the area and consider delaying seismic operations until next year.

Ant Hill Unit Drilling and Development Project – Colorado

Effective September 1, 2006, the Company entered into a farm-in agreement with Starlight Oil and Gas LLC and Starlight Corporation (“Starlight”) to undertake a development drilling program located in western Colorado. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has paid Starlight a prospect fee of $900,000. Starlight will participate for a 10% working interest and the Company will have a 75% working interest in the prospective lands. Starlight will retain a 7.5% gross overriding royalty on the lands.

The Ant Hill Unit is a 20,000 acre federal exploratory unit currently operated by EnCana Oil and Gas (USA) (“EnCana”). Under a Drilling and Development Agreement executed between Starlight and EnCana on May 5, 2006, and which the Company became a party to, the Company and Starlight have agreed to drill a minimum of four additional wells in areas outside of the current Participating Areas (PA’s) commencing in the fall of 2006. The wells will be drilled on 160 acre drilling blocks typically encompassing standard governmental quarter sections. By drilling and completing these wells, the existing federal exploratory unit will remain in effect for several more years. The Company and Starlight will carry EnCana for 15% of the total well cost in each new well drilled on 40-acre drill site quarter/quarter section. For each well drilled, the Company and Starlight will also earn a 100% interest in a diagonal 40-acre tract, located in the same 160-acre quarter section. EnCana retains its 100% interest in the two remaining offset locations in each 160 acre drilling block.

After the initial four locations are drilled, the Company and Starlight may elect to develop additional 160-acre drilling blocks on any acreage outside the existing PA’s under the same terms. There are 34 potential 160-acre drilling blocks outside of the existing PA’s that have not been developed, resulting in 68 potential drilling locations on what is effectively 40-acre spacing. There is also the potential to develop the field on 20-acre spacing which would provide for another 68 drilling locations. In December 2006, the first two wells were tied in and completed. The Company is planning to re-enter the first of these two wells, shut off the water and perforate and frac an additional uphole zone. With the second well the Company is planning to re-enter the well and add additional pay with a two-stage fracture treatment.

The Company is also budgeting for two additional wells in the Ant Hill Unit in 2007 estimated at approximately $4,800,000. Subject to positive election to continue to drill in 2008, the Company is budgeting for six additional wells over the drilling season of May 1, 2008 to December 1, 2008. The total estimated cost of development in the Ant Hill Unit over the next 12 month period is approximately $15,000,000 including engineering reports and well permitting costs. To date the Company has received or accrued approximately $42,000 gross from gas and liquid sales from the first two wells for the first nine months of 2007. This amount represents production from the two wells prior to their re-completion.

On August 31, 2007 the Company entered into an agreement with Starlight where Starlight assigned to the Company all of its rights, title, and interests in both the Ant Hill Drilling and Development Agreement with EnCana and the related Participation Agreement with the Company.

Convertible Notes

On August 25, 2005, the Company issued Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) to certain institutional investors with a principal amount of $9,075,000, and 907,500 Series “A” detachable share purchase warrants. The Notes bear interest at 6% per annum, mature on August 25, 2008, and may be converted into 1,815,000 shares of common stock on the basis of one share of common stock for every $5 in value of Notes (the “Conversion Price”). Each warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6 per share (the “Exercise Price”) until August 25, 2008. The Company paid cash placement fees of $544,500, offering costs of $28,500 and issued 72,600 Broker Warrants. Each Broker Warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6 per share until August 28, 2008. The securities were issued in a private placement transaction pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company filed a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that was declared effective on November 10, 2005, to register the resale of shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the warrants.

The Conversion Price and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustments under certain conditions and events occurring, including the issue of common stock and common stock equivalents, by way of private placements, at a price per share less than the Conversion Price or Exercise Price. Accordingly, upon the completion of the financing on February 24, 2006, the Conversion Price was reduced from $5.00 to $4.32, and the Exercise Price was reduced from $6.00 to $5.04.

In accordance with EITF 98-5 “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, the Company recognized the value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $3,854,490 as additional paid in capital as the debt was issued with an intrinsic value conversion feature. In addition, in accordance with EITF 00-27 “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, the Company has allocated the proceeds of issuance between the convertible debt and the detachable warrants based on their relative fair values. Accordingly, the Company recognized the fair value of the detachable warrants of $2,039,490 as additional paid in capital. The Company will record further interest expense over the term of the Convertible Debentures of $2,039,490 resulting from the difference between the stated value and carrying value at the date of issuance. During the year ended December 31, 2005, a debenture with a principal amount of $450,000 was converted into 90,000 shares of common stock. The unamortized balance of the related embedded equity elements of $92,704 was charged to interest expense in 2005. The carrying value of the Convertible Debentures is being accreted to the face value of $8,625,000 at maturity. On June 1, 2007, the Company issued 242,245 shares of common stock in lieu of cash interest payments with a value of $261,625. At September 30, 2007, accrued interest of $171,555 is included in accrued liabilities. Interest expense of $484,590 has been accreted during the period increasing the carrying value of the Convertible Debentures to $8,032,724. Interest expense of $689,148 was capitalized to the Ant Hill Unit property during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Eden Energy Corp.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eden Energy Corp. (an exploration stage company) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the years then ended and the period from January 1, 2004 (date of inception of exploration stage) to December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows and the changes in stockholders’ equity (deficiency) for the years then ended and the period from January 1, 2004 (date of inception of exploration stage) to December 31, 2006 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eden Energy Corp.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Year Ended December 31, 2006

1.

Nature and Continuance of Operations

The Company was organized on January 29, 1999 (inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada, United States of America as E-Com Technologies Corporation. On November 10, 2000, the Company became a fully registered issuer reporting with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On December 15, 2000, the Company began trading on the National Association of Securities Dealer – Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. On August 6, 2004, the Company changed its name to Eden Energy Corp.

The Company, through its formerly wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, E-Com Consultants (Canada) Corp., developed e-commerce solutions, web-based applications, performed Internet marketing and consulting services, and designed and hosted web sites. On December 31, 2003, the Company disposed of this subsidiary and as at December 31, 2003, was inactive other than seeking new business opportunities. Consequently, effective December 31, 2003, the Company became an exploration stage company.

The Company is primarily involved in oil and gas exploration activities in Alberta, Canada, and Colorado and Nevada, USA. Pursuant to an Agreement dated August 5, 2004, the Company acquired certain oil and gas interests located in Nevada, USA. On September 13, 2005, the Company entered into a second agreement and acquired further oil and gas interests located in Nevada, USA. On October 21, 2005, the Company entered into a separate Letter Agreement (formalized February 16, 2006) to acquire additional oil and gas interests located in Nevada, USA. On March 13, 2006, the Company entered into a farm-in arrangement with Suncor Energy Inc. of Calgary, Alberta. On September 1, 2006 the Company entered into a farm-in arrangement with Starlight Oil and Gas LLC and Starlight Corporation of Colorado, USA. Under the terms of its Participation Agreements, the Company has committed to fund ongoing leasehold and applicable exploration expenses required to take the prospects to drillable stages, currently estimated at net $481,500 over the next 12 months. Additionally, the Company has budgeted net $15,700,000 for drilling programs on its leases for fiscal 2007.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company is in the exploration stage of its resource business and has experienced negative cash flows from operations to date and has accumulated losses of $12,102,064 since inception of the exploration stage. To date the Company has funded operations through the issuance of capital stock and debt. Management’s plan is to continue raising additional funds through future equity or debt financings as needed until it achieves profitable operations from its oil and gas activities. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company completed a financing by way of a private placement of 7,366,520 units for gross proceeds of $16,574,670. The ability of the Company to continue its operations as a going concern is dependent on continuing to raise sufficient new capital to fund its exploration and development commitments and to fund ongoing losses if, as and when needed, and ultimately on generating profitable operations.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. The most significant estimates with regard to these financial statements relate to carrying values of oil and gas properties, stock-based compensation, convertible notes, the provision for income taxes and provision for asset retirement obligation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s and its United States subsidiaries functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary is the Canadian dollar. The financial statements of the subsidiary are translated to United States dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation” using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues and expenses. Translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in current operations. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Oil and Gas Properties

The Company utilizes the full cost method to account for its investment in oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including such costs as leasehold acquisition costs, capitalized interest costs relating to unproved properties, geological expenditures, tangible and intangible development costs including direct internal costs are capitalized to the full cost pool. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has no properties with proven reserves. When the Company commences production from established proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. Investments in unproved properties and major development projects including capitalized interest, if any, are not depleted until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined. If the future exploration of unproved properties are determined uneconomical the amount of such properties are added to the capitalized cost to be depleted. As of December 31, 2006, all of the Company's oil and gas properties were unproved and were excluded from depletion.

2.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The capitalized costs included in the full cost pool are subject to a "ceiling test", which limits such costs to the aggregate of the estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of the future net revenues from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions plus the lower of cost and estimated net realizable value of unproven properties. As at December 31, 2006, the Company recognized an impairment on its oil and gas costs of $2,272,162 (2005 - $NIL).

Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost of $58,746 (2005 - $6,208) less accumulated depreciation of $7,984 (2005 - $639). Depreciation is recorded on the straight-line basis over five years.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”. SFAS No. 143 requires the Company to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs an obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. As at December 31, 2006, the Company has not recognized any amount for asset retirement obligations.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.

Loss Per Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 "Earnings per Share" which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including convertible debt, stock options, and warrants, using the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. Shares underlying these securities totaled approximately 18,860,000 as of December 31, 2006. Diluted loss per share figures are equal to those of basic loss per share for each period since the effects of convertible debt, stock options and warrants have been excluded as they are anti-dilutive.

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The Company has recorded the carrying value of Convertible Notes at the estimated fair value as described in Note 7. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash in excess of the federally insured amount of $100,000. To date, the Company has not incurred a loss relating to this concentration of credit risk.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the only components of comprehensive loss were foreign currency translation adjustments. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company had no items that represented a comprehensive loss.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in SFAS No. 109, “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 assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.

Comparative Figures

Certain of the comparative figures have been restated to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Debt Issue Costs

In accordance with the Accounting Principles Board Opinion 21 “Interest on Receivables and Payables”, the Company recognizes debt issue costs on the balance sheet as deferred charges, and amortizes the balance over the term of the related debt. The Company follows the guidance in the EITF 95-13 “Classification of Debt Issue Costs in the Statement of Cash Flows” and classifies cash payments for debt issue costs as a financing activity. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recognized amortization expense of $191,004 (2005 - $63,668).

Stock – Based Compensation

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan (Note 8), whereby stock options are granted in accordance with the policies of the stock option plan.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based awards under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” using the intrinsic value method of accounting, under which compensation expense was only recognized if the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options was less than the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R “Share Based Payments”, using the modified prospective transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost is recognized for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Results for prior periods have not been restated.

All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative a qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for period ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement had no material effect on the Company's reported financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This statement requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement had no material effect on the Company's reported financial position or results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 109”. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of first evaluating whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold and second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on the presentation of such positions within a classified statement of financial position as well as on derecognition, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity's first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140", to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

(a)

The Company entered into an Assignment Agreement with Fort Scott Energy Corp. (“Fort Scott”) dated August 5, 2004, in which the Company acquired Fort Scott’s interest in a Participation Agreement dated April 26, 2004 with Cedar Strat Corporation (“Cedar Strat”).

The Participation Agreement provided for the acquisition of certain oil and gas leases and rights located in eastern Nevada, USA, held by Frontier, which at the time was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fort Scott. Pursuant to the terms of the Assignment Agreement, the Company acquired Fort Scott’s interests in the oil and gas leases and rights by the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Frontier. Fort Scott retained a 2% over-riding royalty interest in the lands and all leases held by Frontier, or subsequently acquired by the Company.

To acquire its interest, the Company:

 

i)

issued 500,000 shares of common stock to Fort Scott,

 

ii)

issued a Promissory Note and Convertible Debenture (“Debenture”) to Fort Scott in the principal amount of $500,000. The Debenture bears interest at a rate of 7% per annum, and entitles Fort Scott to convert the principal and accrued interest into units at $0.25 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one-half of one warrant.

Oil and Gas Properties (continued)

The Company is continuing to evaluate the oil and gas property in anticipation of an election to drill.

Upon fulfillment of the obligations of the Participation Agreement, the Company will have earned a 100% working interest (an 80.5% net revenue interest) in the lands underlying the leases. Cedar Strat will be vested with a 5% over-riding royalty interest and Fort Scott will be vested with a 2% overriding royalty interest. Cedar Strat will also retain a 5% back-in working interest after the Company has been reimbursed for 100% of its exploration expenses. This back-in working interest may be adjusted upwards should the Company elect not to proceed with the drilling election pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement and the drilling prospect is marketed to a third party. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has committed to fund ongoing leasehold and applicable exploration expenses, which are expected to take the prospect to a drillable stage, currently estimated at $316,500. The Company budgeted $4,000,000 for the drilling and completion of the first well on the leases.

As at December 31, 2006, the Company had completed the original seismic program interpretation and was determining a final drilling location. Subsequent to December 31, 2006 and as part of its ongoing evaluation of the viability of the project, the Company has staked a location for the Noah Federal #1 well, the final drilling location.

 

(b)

On June 14, 2005, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Southern Frontier Explorations Ltd. (“Southern”), acquired 50,000 acres of ten-year federal BLM oil and gas leases located in the Great Basin of Nevada, at an average cost of $2.25 per acre. A prospect fee of $750,000 was paid to Cedar Strat in connection with the acquisition of the leases. Refer to Note 4(c). The leases require yearly rental fees of $1.50 per acre for the first five years, and $2.00 per acre for the remaining five years. Another 52,757 acres were acquired on the same rental fee basis as the original acreage. Combined the project consisted of 102,757 gross acres and is identified as the Big Sand Spring Valley project.

On November 1, 2005, the Company entered into a Participation Agreement with Eternal Energy Corp. (“Eternal”), in which the Company agreed to sell to Eternal a fifty percent (50%) interest in the oil and gas leases in consideration for $2,667,000. Eternal has paid $667,000 to December 31, 2006, The exploration phase, including the collection, analyzing, and reprocessing of data, is ongoing and once completed and subject to drilling election, both parties are committed to the drilling of a minimum of two wells (the “Commitment Wells”). Eternal must pay 66.67% of the costs to drill and complete the Commitment Wells, until total consideration of $2,667,000 has been paid, and 50% thereafter. This agreement is for a term of ten years.

Pursuant to a Letter Agreement on April 14, 2006, Eternal is entitled to transfer its interests from the Big Sand Spring Valley project to a new project the Company acquired (the Cherry Creek project – Note 4(c)). Pursuant to a Letter Agreement on November 1, 2006, Eternal proposed, and the Company accepted, an offer to purchase 100% of the Company’s interest in the Big Sand Spring Valley project while relinquishing all rights and/or claims to any interest in the Company’s new Cherry Creek project as may have been transferred in the Letter Agreement dated April 14, 2006. A final formal agreement was entered into November 16, 2006.

As at December 31, 2006, $200,000 from Eternal is included in accounts receivable, representing full and final payment as agreed to November 16, 2006. The $200,000 was received by the Company subsequently. Due to the conclusion of the purchase offer proposed by Eternal on November 1, 2006, the Company no longer has interests or funding obligations in respect to the Big Sand Spring project.

(c)

The Company, through Southern, entered into a new joint participation agreement dated January 24, 2006, with Cedar Strat. Pursuant to the joint participation agreement, the Company agreed to participate in Cedar Strat’s Cherry Creek project and pay Cedar Strat a $750,000 prospect fee. The agreement allowed for the prospect fee of $750,000 paid by the Company to Cedar Strat for its earlier Big Sand Spring Valley prospect to be applied to the new Cherry Creek project. The Company also agreed to accept responsibility for acquiring and funding BLM leases and private fee leases, if applicable, in order to facilitate the exploration efforts. The Company will assume the obligation to pay the annual rental on such leases.

On March 14, 2006, the Company acquired approximately 76,459 acres of oil and gas lease lands at auction in Eastern Nevada as part of its Cherry Creek project inventory in consideration for $852,055. Subsequent to March 14, 2006, adjustments reduced the number of acres to approximately 69,982 acres. The Company paid Cedar Strat $216,000 for exploration expenses, which included gravity and field mapping.

On September 29, 2006, notice to surrender certain low priority Cherry Creek acres was given to Cedar Strat which results in the Company maintaining 18,500 acres of prospective leases. The Company also purchased an additional 2,480 acres of leases in the Cherry Creek area. Ongoing funding of leasehold expenses on these leases is currently estimated at approximately $28,000.

 

(d)

On March 13, 2006 the Company entered into a farm-in arrangement with Suncor Energy Inc. (“Suncor”) of Calgary, Alberta. Under the terms of the arrangement the Company agreed to participate, with a 50% working interest, in the cost to drill an exploratory well on approximately 18,000 acres of leases owned by Suncor. By drilling the first well, the Company will earn a 50% working interest in approximately 7,000 acres (the “Farmout Lands”) and will have the option to drill a second well in 2007 to earn its interest in the remaining lands. Suncor will retain a 12.5% gross overriding royalty on the lands. The Company will pay its 50% share of the authorization for expenditure for drilling the exploratory well.

Within 30 days of rig release of the first test well, the Company and its partners have the option to purchase their proportionate working interest in two sections of lands held by Suncor (Block 1 Option Lands). The net cost to the Company is $307,231. Within 30 days of completion of the initial test well, the Company and its partners have the option to commit to drill a second test well to a similar depth, on a second block of land totaling fifteen sections (the Block 2 Option Lands). Net exposure for drilling to the Company is estimated at $1.395 million. The Company has the option to acquire its proportionate share if any partner elects not to proceed. Potential additional exposure to the Company is approximately $1.395 million. Within 10 days of electing to drill the second test well, the Company and its partners must pay to Suncor the costs for the Block 2 Option Lands. The net cost of the lands to the Company is $502,000. The Company has the option to acquire its proportionate share if any partner elects not to proceed. Potential additional exposure to the Company is a further $502,000.

On December 29, 2006, Well 1 operation was reactivated (Well 1 was suspended in March 2006 due to weather and safety concerns) and drilling continued through to completion. On January 22, 2007 the Company and its partners reported the well was dry and that it was to be abandoned. Pursuant to the terms of the related farm-in arrangement, the Company and its partners elected not to drill the Option Well or acquire the Block 1 – Option Lands nor purchase the additional Block 2 Option Lands as described above. Currently, the Company and its partners are evaluating their earned Farmout Lands before making any further exploration decision in the area. Refer to Note 11. All costs associated with Well 1 were fully impaired as at December 31, 2006 totalling $1,462,241.

Oil and Gas Properties (continued)

 

(e)

On September 1, 2006 the Company entered into a farm-in arrangement with Starlight Oil and Gas LLC (“Starlight LLC”) and Starlight Corporation (“Starlight”) of Colorado, United States. Under the terms of the arrangement the Company will participate, with a 75% working interest, in the cost to drill a development well in the Ant Hill Unit in the White River Dome field in Colorado. The Company paid Starlight a prospect fee of $900,000. Starlight will retain a 7.5% gross overriding royalty on the lands.

Under the associated Drilling and Development Agreement executed between Starlight and EnCana Oil & Gas (USA) Inc. (“Encana”) on May 5, 2006, which the Company became a party to, the Company and Starlight have agreed to drill a minimum of four additional wells (the “Commitment Wells”) in areas outside of the current Participating Areas (“PA’s”) commencing in the fall of 2006. The Company and Starlight will carry EnCana for 15% of the total well cost in each new well drilled. For each well drilled, the Company and Starlight will also earn a 100% interest in a diagonal 40-acre tract, located in the same 160-acre quarter section. EnCana retains its 100% interest in the two remaining offset locations in each 160-acre drilling block. After the initial four locations are drilled, the Company and Starlight may elect to develop additional 160-acre drilling blocks on any acreage outside the existing PA’s under the same terms. The Company delivered an irrevocable Letter of Credit payable to Starlight LLC in the amount of $1,764,800. Upon the Company participating in the drilling of each Commitment Well, 25% of the Letter of Credit will be released. Refer to Note 9.

The first well under the agreement was spud on September 21, 2006 and took 13 days to drill and set production casing. The second well was spud on October 8, 2006 and took 12 days to drill and set production casing. Once both wells were cased the rig was released for the winter. Fracture stimulation commenced on Well 1 October 28 and Well 2 November 4. The two wells were successfully fracture stimulated up to several hundred feet from the well bore. These significant frac lengths resulted in more water flow than initially anticipated. In late December, both wells were put on pumping units to lower fluid levels and allow gas to flow more freely. No revenues have been received to date.

Convertible Notes

On August 25, 2005, the Company issued Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) to certain institutional investors with a principal amount of $9,075,000, and 907,500 Series “A” detachable share purchase warrants. The Notes bear interest at 6% per annum, mature on August 25, 2008, and may be converted into 1,815,000 shares of common stock on the basis of one share of common stock for every $5 in value of Notes (the “Conversion Price”). Each warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6 per share (the “Exercise Price”) until August 25, 2008. The investors also had the option to make an additional investment of up to 30% of their original investment for 180 days after the closing date, on the same terms as the original investment. No additional investments were made. The Company paid cash placement fees of $544,500, offering costs of $28,500 and issued 72,600 Broker Warrants. Each Broker Warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6 per share until August 28, 2008. The securities were issued in a private placement transaction pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company filed a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that was declared effective on November 10, 2005, to register the resale of shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the warrants.

The Conversion Price and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustments under certain conditions and events occurring, including the issue of common stock and common stock equivalents, by way of private placements, at a price per share less than the Conversion Price or Exercise Price. Accordingly, upon the completion of the financing on February 24, 2006, the Conversion Price was reduced from $5.00 to $4.32, and the Exercise Price was reduced from $6.00 to $5.04.

In accordance with EITF 98-5 “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, the Company recognized the value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $3,854,490 as additional paid in capital as the debt was issued with an intrinsic value conversion feature. In addition, in accordance with EITF 00-27 “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, the Company has allocated the proceeds of issuance between the convertible debt and the detachable warrants based on their relative fair values. Accordingly, the Company recognized the fair value of the detachable warrants of $2,039,490 as additional paid in capital. The Company will record further interest expense over the term of the Convertible Debentures of $2,039,490 resulting from the difference between the stated value and carrying value at the date of issuance. During the year ended December 31, 2005, a debenture with a principal amount of $450,000 was converted into 90,000 shares of common stock. The unamortized balance of the embedded equity elements of $92,704 was charged to interest expense. The carrying value of the Convertible Debentures will be accrued to the face value of $8,625,000 to maturity. At December 31, 2006, accrued interest of $42,534 is included in accrued liabilities. Interest expense of $646,119, of which $275,811 was capitalized to the White River Dome property, has been accreted during the year increasing the carrying value of the Convertible Debentures to $7,548,134.

Income Taxes

 

Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has incurred net operating losses of approximately $6,186,000, which commence expiring in 2024. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109, the Company is required to compute tax assets for net operating losses carried forward. Potential assets of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the valuation allowance established against the deferred tax assets increased by $1,826,000 and $1,440,000, respectively. The components of the net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the statutory tax rate, the effective tax rate and the elected amount of the valuation allowance are indicated below:

Subsequent Events

 

a)

On March 1, 2007 the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with Cedar Strat whereby the go forward development plan for the Company’s Noah project was confirmed, and select minor leases from the Company’s Cherry Creek and Noah projects would be transferred to Cedar Strat.

 

b)

On February 8, 2007 the Company and its joint venture partners in Calgary, Alberta, acquired an additional 1,279 gross acres with an approximate gross cost of $125,000 at a land sale, of which Eden holds a 55.56% working interest due to one partner declining to participate in the land acquisition.

 

c)

On February 14, 2007, the Company entered into a separate farm-in arrangement with Suncor Energy Inc. (“Suncor”) of Calgary, Alberta. Under the terms of this arrangement, the Company will participate with a 10% working interest in the cost to drill an exploratory well (estimated gross costs $1,900,000) to earn a 10% working interest in approximately 9,600 gross acres. Suncor will retain a 12.5% gross overriding royalty on these existing lands. The Company acquired a 10% interest in an additional 5,120 acres of offsetting lands at an approximate gross cost of $600,000 subject to a 7.5% over-riding royalty (“ORR”) to Suncor. The Company will also have a first right of refusal to equalize to its proportionate share in another 5,760 gross acres held by Suncor.

The Company is a minor participant with its 10% position in the arrangement. The Company will pay its 10% share of the authorization for expenditure for drilling the exploratory well, which is estimated at $210,000 including contingency. The well spud on February 10, 2007 and is expected to take 30 days to reach total depth of 8,415 feet. On March 15, 2007, the Company and its partners authorized the operator to plug and abandon the well. The partners require further evaluation of these lands prior to making additional exploration decisions.

PART II - INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 24 INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Nevada corporation law provides that:

- a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful;

- a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper; and

- to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.

We may make any discretionary indemnification only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made:

- by our stockholders;

- by our board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;

- if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion;

- if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

- by court order.

 

 



 

46

 

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Articles provide that no director or officer shall be personally liable to our company, any of our stockholders or any other for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer involving any act or omission of such director or officer unless such acts or omissions involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or the payment of dividends in violation of the General Corporate Law of Nevada.

Our Bylaws provide that no officer or director shall be personally liable for any obligations of our company or for any duties or obligations arising out of any acts or conduct of the officer or director performed for or on behalf of our company. The Bylaws also state that we will indemnify and hold harmless each person and their heirs and administrators who shall serve at any time hereafter as a director or officer from and against any and all claims, judgments and liabilities to which such persons shall become subject by reason of their having heretofore or hereafter been a director or officer, or by reason of any action alleged to have heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to have been taken by him or her as a director or officer. We will reimburse each such person for all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any such claim or liability, including power to defend such persons from all suits or claims as provided for under the provisions of the General Corporate Law of Nevada; provided, however, that no such persons shall be indemnified against, or be reimbursed for, any expense incurred in connection with any claim or liability arising out of his (or her) own negligence or wilful misconduct. Our By-Laws also provide that we, our directors, officers, employees and agents will be fully protected in taking any action or making any payment, or in refusing so to do in reliance upon the advice of counsel.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company under Nevada law or otherwise, we have been advised the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by us for expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of our company in successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we 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 of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy in said Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 28 UNDERTAKINGS

The undersigned company 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 by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

(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 a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the change in volume and price represents no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

 

(iii)

to include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution.

(2)           that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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 the 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)           For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);

 

(ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;

 

(iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and

 

(iv)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.

 

 



 

54

 

 

(5)           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

(6)           In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person connected with the securities being registered, the small business issuer 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(7)           Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on 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.

Dear Sirs:

Re:       Common Stock of Eden Energy Corp. Registered on Form SB-2, originally filed on September 28, 2005 and amended on November 7, 2005
Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 on Form S-1 filed on February 27, 2008

We have acted as counsel to Eden Energy Corp. (the “Company”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, in connection with the filing, on February 27, 2008, of a post-effective amendment no. 3 to a registration statement on Form SB-2 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) of 5,134,220 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Registered Shares”) for resale by certain selling shareholders named in the Registration Statement.

We have examined the originals or certified copies of such corporate records of the Company and/or public officials and such other documents and have made such other factual and legal investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary as the basis for the opinions set forth below. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies or as facsimiles of copies or originals, which assumptions we have not independently verified.

Based upon the foregoing and the examination of such legal authorities as we have deemed relevant, and subject to the qualifications and further assumptions set forth below, we are of the opinion that the Registered Shares were duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We have made such inquiries with respect thereto as we consider necessary to render this opinion with respect to a Nevada corporation. This opinion letter is opining upon and is limited to the current federal laws of the United States and, as set forth above, Nevada law, including the statutory provisions, all applicable provisions of the Nevada Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting those laws, as such laws presently exist and to the facts as they presently exist. We express no opinion with respect to the effect or applicability of the laws of any other jurisdiction. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion letter should the laws of such jurisdiction be changed after the date hereof by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933 or the General Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Yours truly,

Dear Sir/Mesdames:

Re:        Eden Energy Corp. (the “Company”)
Post Effective Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed February 27, 2008
Your File No. 333-128649

                Thank you for the copy of your letter dated February 12, 2008 with your comments on the Company's Post Effective Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form SB-2, filed January 11, 2008. For your ease of reference, our responses to your comments are numbered in a corresponding manner:

General

1.            It appears from the Form 8-K’s that you filed on January 22, 2008 and January 23, 2008 that you amended the terms of the 6% convertible promissory notes issued August 25, 2005. Among other changes you amended the conversion prices of the notes and warrants and extended the exercise date of the warrants.

Since it appears that you renegotiated the terms of the private placement after you filed the Form SB-2, you cannot rely on Rule 152 to separate the issuance and resale transactions, which occurred simultaneously. Please discuss the steps you intend to take to address these concerns.

We believe that the Company was not required to rely on Rule 152 for the amendments to the convertible promissory notes and the issuances on conversion thereof. Such issuances were not undertaken pursuant to the Registration Statement/Prospectus, but were issued in reliance on Rule 506 of Regulation D, as was done with the initial grants of the notes.

We have amended the registration statement to reflect the amendments to the terms of the 6% convertible promissory notes issued August 25, 2005, including the terms of the conversion price of the notes and the warrants and the extension of the exercise date of the warrants.

2.            Please note that amendments to Regulation S-K became effective February 4, 2008 and that Form SB-2 was eliminated as of that date. With your next amendment, please amend your registration statement to comply with the new rules. Refer to Release 33-8876 (December 19, 2007) and the “Compliance Date” section.

We have updated the cover page to the registration statement to Form S-1/A. Pursuant to Release 33-8876 (December 19, 2007) we have continued using the “SB” form for the disclosure format and content of the registration statement.

3.            Please update your registration statement to reflect the information contained in the Form 8-K filed January 23, 2008 to announce the issuance of stock options to certain officers and to file the amended 2004 Stock Option Plan. Discuss the material terms of the amended plan in the registration statement.

We have amended the registration statement to reflect the recent announcement of the Company’s Amended 2004 Stock Option Plan and the granting of stock options to certain directors and officers. The only amendment to the 2004 Stock Option Plan was to increase the number of stock options available for grant from 3,000,000 to 4,276,332, which has been noted in the registration statement.

4.            Please update the beneficial ownership table in your registration statement to reflect the information contained in the Schedule 13G/A filed February 6, 2008 by RAP Special Situations Master Fund.

We have added RAB Special Situations (Master) Fund Limited to the table under the section “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”.

Cover Page of Prospectus

5.            Provide a closing bid price of your common stock as of a more recent practicable date.

We have updated the cover page of the prospectus to reflect a closing bid price of the Company’s common stock as of February 20, 2008.

General

We enclose a clean and four blacklined copies of the Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to Form S-1 for your review.
