                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

THIS SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED BY THE OTHER INFORMATION  APPEARING  ELSEWHERE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS.

Overview

     Synergy  Resources  Corporation  ("we," "our," "us" or "the  Company") is a
growth-oriented  independent  oil and gas  company  engaged in the  acquisition,
development,  and  production  of crude oil and  natural  gas in and  around the
Denver-Julesburg Basin ("D-J Basin") of Colorado. All of our producing wells are
in the  Wattenberg  Field,  which  has a  history  as one of the  most  prolific
production  areas in the country.  We are  expanding  ourhold developed and undeveloped  acreage in
the Wattenberg Field, and hold significant undeveloped acreage positions east of
the  Wattenberg  Field.  Our holdings  inextend into eastern  Colorado and western
Nebraska,Nebraska.  Although  we  have  not yet  commenced  exploration  and may commence  development
activities in these areas.the eastern areas, we may do so in the future.

     Since  commencing  active  operations in September  2008, we have undergone
significant  growth.  As disclosed in the  following  table,  as of December 31,
2012,February 28,
2013, we have drilled,  acquired, or participated in 273284 gross oil and gas wells.
At December 31, 2012 there were 250wells
and have successfully completed 278 wells that had reached  productive status
and  therewent into production.  There were
23six wells inat various stages of the drilling and completion  all of which are
expected to reach productive status.

drilled any non-productive wells.

     As of November 30, 2012,February 28, 2013 our estimated  proved  reserves  exceeded 57 million
Bbls of oil and 3344 Bcf of gas. We currently  hold  approximately  235,000259,000  gross
acres and 199,000218,000 net acres under lease.

Strategy

     Our strategy for continued growth includes additional drilling  activities,
acquisition of existing wells,  and recompletion of wells to more rapidly access
and/or extend reserves through improved  hydraulic  stimulation  techniques.  We
attempt to maximize  our return on assets by  drilling  and  operating  wells in
which we have a majority net revenue  interest.  We attempt to limit our risk by
drilling in proven areas.

                                       To date, we have not drilled any wells which were not
economically viable.

                                       2


     All wells drilled prior to 2012 were  relatively  low-risk  vertical  orwells
(including wells that are considered  directional  wells.  During 2012wells).  Over the last twelve
months we participated with other operators in six horizontal wells.  Five of the wells hadthat reached

have either  commenced  drilling  operations or expect drilling  activity during
2013, and are evaluating prospects for 27 wells that have been proposed. Initial
results from the wells have been promisingencouraging.

     Historically,  we  were  a  company  that  drilled  vertical  wells.  Newer
technology allows  exploitation of hydrocarbon  deposits using horizontal wells.
The new  technology  is evolving  rapidly and weshows  great  promise.  We plan to
expandtransition our primary  emphasis from vertical  drilling to horizontal  well  operationsdrilling

anticipated  participation  in ten  horizontal  wells  as a  non-operating
interest owner.operated by others.  That
budget  may be  increased.  Furthermore,  we  plan to  drill  and  operate  four
horizontal  wells for our own account.  Horizontal drilling operations are expectedaccount  during the current fiscal year. We expect
to commence inspud the first horizontal well for our own account during the spring.

     Historically,During our start-up years, our cash flow from operations was not sufficient
to fund our  growth  plans and we relied on  proceeds  from the sale of debt and
equity securities.  Our cash flow from operations is increasing,  and we plan to
finance an increasing  percentage of our growth with internally generated funds.
Ultimately,  implementation  of our  growth  plans  will be  dependent  upon the
success of our operations and the amount of financing we are able to obtain.

Significant Developments

     As an operator, we continued our active vertical well drilling program from
September 1, 2012 through December  31, 2012.February 28, 2013. During that time, we drilled 27 new
wells and brought 15 wellsall of them into productive status. As of December 31, 2012, we

substantially  completed our plans for drilling  vertical  wells during the 2013
fiscal  year,  and plan to focus our  efforts  on  horizontal  wells  during the
remaining  eightsix months of the fiscal  year.  OurWith  regard to activity on wells in
which we participate as a non-operating  interest owner, included eightnine wells thatwere drilled
(including two horizontal  wells) and fourteen wells reached  productive  status
(including  three  horizontal  wells).  Six  non-operated  wells were in various
stages of drilling  or  completion  at February  28,  2013,  and one well that was drilled.  One non-operated  well wastwo  additional
horizontal wells were spud in the completion phase at December 31, 2012.March.

     On December 5, 2012, we completed an  acquisition of assets from Orr Energy
LLC. The assets  included 36 producing  oil and gas wells along with a number of
undeveloped leases. We assumed operational responsibility on 35 of the producing
wells. Purchase  consideration included cash of $30 million and 3,128,422 shares
of our  restricted  common  stock.  Our  preliminary  evaluation  of the  assets
indicates that the fair value of the acquisition  will  approximate $42 million

operations  commencing  on  December  5,  2012.2012,  and  contributed  approximately
$745,000 to operating income during the quarter.

     In November  2012, we modified our  borrowing  arrangement  with  Community
Banks of  Colorado,  successor  in interest to Bank of Choice,  to increase  the
maximum  allowable  borrowings.  The new revolving line of credit  increases the
maximum  lending  commitment  to  $150  million,  subject  to a  borrowing  base
calculation.

                                       3


     The arrangement  contains covenants that, among other things,  restrict the
payment of dividends and require  compliance with certain financial ratios.  The
borrowing  arrangement  is  collateralized  by certain of our assets,  including
producing  properties.  Maximum borrowings are subject to reduction based upon a
borrowing base  calculation,  which will be  re-determined  semi-annually  using
updated reserve reports. As of December 31, 2012,February 28, 2013, the borrowing base calculation
limited maximum borrowings to $47 million. In December, 2012,  we utilized a

development expenditures and to provide working capital.

     Interest accrues at a variable rate, which will equal or exceed the minimum
rate of 2.5%. The interest rate pricing grid contains a graduated  escalation in
applicable margin for increased utilization.  At our option, interest rates will
be  referenced  to the  Prime  Rate  plus a margin  of 0% to 1%,  or the  London
InterBank Offered Rate plus a margin of 2.5% to 3.25%. The maturity date for the
arrangement is November 28, 2016.

     We commenced our commodity hedging program beginning January 1, 2013. As of
February 28, 2013, by
hedgingwe had hedged  approximately  58,000118,000 barrels of oil over the
next  24  monthsremainder  of production  usingcalendar  2013 and all of calendar  2014.  We used both  commodity
swaps and collars.  Our hedge positions  generated a loss of $154,000 during the
quarter,  consisting of realized losses of $20,000 and net unrealized  losses of
$134,000.  Our  commodity  swaphedge  positions  are revalued at fair value for each
reporting  period,  and can have a  significant  impact on  reported  results of
operations.

     On March 1, 2013,  we  entered  into an  Agreement  with Vecta Oil and Gas,
Ltd., relating to oil and gas properties located in the Denver-Julesberg  Basin,
Colorado.  The Agreement closed on March 13, 2013. At the closing, we paid Vecta
a leasehold reimbursement fee consisting of a cash payment of $2,928,502 and the
issuance to Vecta of 100,000  shares of our  restricted  common  stock  having a
value, for purposes of the Agreement, of approximately $660,000. Pursuant to the
terms of the Agreement:

     o    Greenhorn Project Area Leasehold (91,837 gross and 43,757 net acres) -
          we and Vecta  exchanged  6,977 net acres in oil and gas leases located
          in Morgan and Weld Counties,  Colorado,  and we acquired an additional
          4,580 net acres from Vecta in oil and gas leases located in Morgan and
          Weld Counties,  Colorado.  Following this exchange and acquisition, we
          owned an undivided  35% working  interest and Vecta owned an undivided

     o    Supplemental  Greenhorn  Project Area Leasehold (9,838 gross and 1,904
          net acres) - Vecta  conveyed to us 35% of its working  interest in oil
          and gas leases  covering  1,904 net acres in Morgan and Weld Counties,
          Colorado.

     In total, the Agreement covers 101,675 gross (45,661 net) acres in which we
hold a 35% working interest and  approximately  3,718 gross (2,983 net) acres in
which we hold a 65% working interest. Subject to certain exceptions, the oil and
gas leases  subject to the  Agreement  were  delivered  with an average price80% net  revenue
interest,   and  we  reserved  an  overriding   royalty  interest,   subject  to
proportionate reductions, equal to 20%, less existing landowners' and overriding
royalties.  However, no overriding royalty interest was reserved with respect to
any state or federal oil and leases or any of $91.25.  Our overall
hedging strategy includes  increasing our hedging positionthe oil and gas leases  comprising
the Supplemental Greenhorn Project Area.

     The  Agreement  also  establishes  an  area  of  mutual  interest  covering
designated areas in Morgan and Weld Counties, Colorado.

     We will work with Vecta to:

     o    acquire new  proprietary  seismic data across a portion of the oil and
          gas leases that are the subject of the Agreement;

     o    drill a  horizontal  well on one of the leases to 175,000 barrelsevaluate  either the
          Greenhorn Shale or Niobrara Shale; and

     o    conduct other  exploration  projects in the area covered by the leases
          as may  be  mutually  agreed  upon.  The  Agreement  contemplates  the
          drilling  of oil  covering 24 months  future  production  by using  swapsan initial  well to test the  Greenhorn  formation  on or
          costless  collar
contracts.before October 31, 2013.

     We will be the operator for all wells to be drilled on the leases.

     In July  2012 we  issued  a  warrant  to the  Liolios  Group,  an  investor
relations consultant.  The warrant entitles the holder to purchase 25,000 shares
of our common stock at any time prior to September 30, 2015 and 25,000 shares of
our common  stock at any time prior to  December  31,  2015.  The warrant may be
exercised at a price of $2.69 per share.

     By means of this  prospectus a number of persons are offering to sell up to
11,345,998  shares of our common  stock which may be issued upon the exercise of
our Series C and D warrants, the exercise of options held by two of our officers
and directors,  and the exercise of the warrant issued to the Liolios Group.  In
addition,  by means of this  prospectus a number of persons are offering to sell
up to 100,862  shares of our common stock which they  received upon the exercise
of our Series C and D warrants.  The shares owned by selling shareholders may be
sold  through the NYSE MKT, any other  trading  facility on which the shares are
traded, or otherwise,  at prices related to the then current market price, or in
negotiated transactions.

     As of April 30, 2013, we had 55,226,616 outstanding shares of common stock.
The number of our  outstanding  shares does not include shares issuable upon the
exercise  of  outstanding  warrants or the  exercise  of options  granted to our
officers, directors and employees.

Risk Factors

     The purchase of the securities  offered by this prospectus  involves a high
degree of risk. Risk factors include our short operating  history,  losses since
we were incorporated,  and the possible need for us to sell shares of our common
stock to raise capital.  See "Risk Factors" section of this prospectus below for
additional Risk Factors.

Use of Proceeds

     We will not receive any  proceeds  from the sale of the common stock by the
selling  shareholders.  We will, however,  receive proceeds from the exercise of
the warrants or options.  Each warrant or option,  when exercised,  will entitle
the holder to receive a certain  number of shares at an initial  exercise  price
ranging  from $1.00 to $6.00 per share.  Therefore,  if all of the  warrants and
options described in the "Selling  Shareholders"  section of this prospectus are
exercised,  we will  issue  11,345,998  shares of our  common  stock and we will
receive proceeds of approximately $56,476,000.  However, none of the warrants or
options may be exercised  and there is no guarantee  that we will receive any or
all of these proceeds. If any of the warrants or options are exercised,  we will
use the  proceeds  for  capital  expenditures,  working  capital,  repayment  of
indebtedness, or general corporate purposes.

                                       6


     We will pay for the expenses of the  registration  of the resale of shares,
which are estimated to raise capital.

                                  RISK FACTORS

     Investors  should  be aware  that this  offering  involves  certain  risks,
including those described  below,  which could adversely affect the value of our
5
common stock.  We do not make,  nor have we authorized any other person to make,
any  representation  about the  future  market  value of our  common  stock.  In
addition to the other  information  contained in this prospectus,  the following
factors  should be  considered  carefully in  evaluating  an  investment  in our
securities.

                                       7


Our  operations  will be  affected  from time to time and in varying  degrees by
political  developments and Federal and state laws and regulations regarding the
development, production and sale of crude oil and natural gas.

     These regulations  require permits for drilling of wells and also cover the
spacing  of  wells,  the  prevention  of  waste,  and  other  matters.  Rates of
production  of oil and gas have for many years been subject to Federal and state
conservation  laws and  regulations  and the  petroleum  industry  is subject to
Federal tax laws.

     In addition,  the production of oil or gas may be interrupted or terminated
by  governmental   authorities  due  to  ecological  and  other  considerations.
Compliance with these regulations may require a significant  capital  commitment
by and expense to us and may delay or otherwise adversely affect our operations.

     From  time to time  legislation  has  been  proposed  relating  to  various
conservation and other measures designed to decrease  dependence on foreign oil.
No prediction can be made as to what  additional  legislation may be proposed or
enacted. Oil and gas producers may face increasingly stringent regulation in the
years ahead and a general hostility towards the oil and gas industry on the part
of a portion of the public and of some public officials.  Future regulation will
probably be determined by a number of economic and political  factors beyond our
control or the oil and gas industry.

     Our  activities  are  subject  to  existing  federal  and  state  laws  and
regulations governing  environmental  quality and pollution control.  Compliance
with environmental  requirements and reclamation laws imposed by Federal, state,
and local governmental  authorities may necessitate  significant capital outlays
and may materially  affect our earnings.  It is impossible to predict the impact
of environmental  legislation and regulations (including regulations restricting
access and surface use) on our operations in the future although  compliance may
necessitate significant capital outlays,  materially affect our earning power or
cause material changes in our intended business.  In addition, we may be exposed
to potential liability for pollution and other damages.

Oil and gas  exploration is not an exact science,  and involves a high degree of
risk.

     The  primary  risk  lies in the  drilling  of dry  holes  or  drilling  and
completing wells,  which,  though  productive,  do not produce gas and/or oil in
sufficient amounts to return the amounts expended and produce a profit. Hazards,
such as unusual or unexpected  formation  pressures,  downhole fires,  blowouts,
loss of  circulation  of drilling  fluids and other  conditions  are involved in
drilling and completing oil and gas wells and, if such hazards are  encountered,
completion of any well may be substantially  delayed or prevented.  In addition,
adverse weather  conditions can hinder or delay operations,  as can shortages of
equipment  and  materials  or  unavailability  of drilling,  completion,  and/or
work-over  rigs.  Even though a well is completed and is found to be productive,
water and/or other  substances may be encountered in the well,  which may impair
6
or prevent production or marketing of oil or gas from the well.

     Exploratory  drilling  involves  substantially  greater economic risks than
development  drilling  because the  percentage  of wells  completed as producing
wells is usually less than in development drilling.  Exploratory drilling itself
can be of varying  degrees of risk and can generally be divided into higher risk

                                       8


attempts to discover a reservoir in a  completely  unproven  area or  relatively
lower risk  efforts in areas not too distant  from  existing  reservoirs.  While
exploration adjacent to or near existing reservoirs may be more likely to result
in the discovery of oil and gas than in completely  unproven areas,  exploratory
efforts are nevertheless high risk activities.

     Although the completion of oil and gas wells is, to a certain extent,  less
risky than  drilling  for oil and gas, the process of  completing  an oil or gas
well is nevertheless  associated with considerable risk. In addition,  even if a
well is  completed  as a  producer,  the well for a variety of  reasons  may not
produce oil or gas in quantities sufficient to repay our investment in the well.

     The acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties, and
the production and sale of oil and gas are subject to many factors not under our
control.  These factors  include,  among others,  general  economic  conditions,
proximity to pipelines,  oil import quotas,  supply,  demand, and price of other
fuels and the  regulation  of  production,  refining,  transportation,  pricing,
marketing and taxation by various governmental authorities.

Buyers of our gas, if any,  may refuse to  purchase  gas from us in the event of
oversupply.

     If we drill wells that are productive of natural gas, the quantities of gas
that we may be  able  to sell  may be too  small  to pay  for  the  expenses  of
operating  the wells.  In such a case,  the wells would be "shut-in"  until such
time,  if ever,  that economic  conditions  permit the sale of gas in quantities
which would be profitable.

Lack of take-away capacity in the Wattenberg Field could restrict our ability to
sell crude oil and natural gas.

     During 2012, crude oil and natural gas production  increased  significantly
in and  around  the  Wattenberg  Field  and has  strained  the  capacity  of the
midstream  operators to collect and process the  hydrocarbons.  While  midstream
operators are increasing  their  capacity to gather and process  natural gas and
crude oil, it is unknown  whether the increased  capacity will be sufficient.  A
lack of capacity on the part of midstream  operators could constrain our ability
to sell crude oil and natural  gas and have a negative  effect on our results of
operation.

Interests  that we may  acquire  in oil and gas  properties  may be  subject  to
royalty  and  overriding   royalty   interests,   liens  incident  to  operating
agreements,  liens  for  current  taxes  and  other  burdens  and  encumbrances,
easements  and  other  restrictions,  any of  which  may  subject  us to  future
undetermined expenses.

     We do not  intend  to  purchase  title  insurance,  title  memos,  or title
certificates for any leasehold interests we will acquire. It is possible that at
some point we will have to undertake title work involving  substantial costs. In
addition,  it is  possible  that  we may  suffer  title  failures  resulting  in
significant losses.


                                       79

The drilling of oil and gas wells involves hazards such as blowouts,  unusual or
unexpected  formations,  pressures  or other  conditions,  which could result in
substantial losses or liabilities to third parties.

     Although  we intend to  acquire  adequate  insurance,  or to be named as an
insured under coverage  acquired by others (e.g.,  the driller or operator),  we
may  not be  insured  against  all  such  losses  because  insurance  may not be
available,  premium  costs  may be deemed  unduly  high,  or for other  reasons.
Accordingly,  uninsured liabilities to third parties could result in the loss of
our funds or property.

Opposition  to Hydraulic  Fracturing  may increase the cost and time to complete
our wells

     Hydraulic fracturing, the process used for releasing oil and gas from shale
rock,  has recently  come under  increased  scrutiny and could be the subject of
further  regulation that could impact the timing and cost of development.  While
companies have been using the technique for decades, as drilling expands to more
populated  areas,  environmentalists  raise  concern  about the  effects  on the
population's health and drinking water.

     In April of 2012,  the Obama  administration  proposed  the first  national
standards  to control  air  pollution  from gas wells  stimulated  by  hydraulic
fracturing.  The EPA  published  claims that the new  regulations  would  ensure
pollution  is  controlled  without  slowing  natural  gas  production,  actually
resulting  in more product for fuel  suppliers to bring to market.  The proposal
would  restrict  the  venting of gases  during the well  completion  phase,  and
require the implementation of a new technology to reduce emissions of pollutants
during completion of wells.  Implementation of the pollution-reducing  equipment
for so-called "green completions" is required by January 2015.

     Locally,  some counties and  municipalities  are  attempting to impose more
stringent   regulations  than  those  required  by  the  Colorado  Oil  and  Gas
Conservation Commission. Litigation has been initiated to determine the legality
of these attempts.  Depending on the legislation  that may ultimately be enacted
or the  regulations  that may be  adopted at the  federal,  state  and/or  local
levels,  exploration and production  activities that entail hydraulic fracturing
could  be  subject  to  additional   regulation  and  permitting   requirements.
Individually or  collectively,  such new legislation or regulation could lead to
operational  delays or increased  operating costs and could result in additional
burdens   that  could   increase  the  costs  and  delay  the   development   of
unconventional  oil  and gas  resources  from  shale  formations  which  are not
commercial without the use of hydraulic  fracturing.  This could have an adverse
effect on our business.

Our transactions  with related parties may cause conflicts of interests that may
adversely affect us.

     Ed Holloway and William E. Scaff, Jr., both of whom are officers, directors
and  principal  shareholders,  control two  entities,  Petroleum  Exploration  &
Management,  LLC ("PEM")  and HS Land & Cattle,  LLC  ("HSLC"),  with whom we do
business.  We presently lease the Platteville office space and equipment storage
yard from HSLC at a rate of $10,000 per month.  During 2011, we purchased all of
the operating oil and gas assets owned by PEM.


                                       10


     We believe that the  transactions  and agreements that we have entered into
with  these  affiliates  are on terms  that are at least as  favorable  as could
reasonably  have been obtained at such time from third parties.  However,  these
relationships could create, or appear to create, potential conflicts of interest
when our board of directors is faced with  decisions  that could have  different
implications for us and these affiliates.  The appearance of conflicts,  even if
such  conflicts  do  not  materialize,   might  adversely  affect  the  public's
perception  of us, as well as our  relationship  with  other  companies  and our
ability  to enter  into new  relationships  in the  future,  which  could have a
material adverse effect on our ability to do business.

Our  failure  to  obtain  capital  may   significantly   restrict  our  proposed
operations.

     We need additional capital to fund our capital expenditure plans. We do not
know what the terms of any future capital  raising may be but any future sale of
our equity  securities  would dilute the ownership of existing  stockholdersshareholders and
could be at prices substantially below the price investors paid for their shares
of our common stock.  Our failure to obtain the capital  required will result in
the slower  implementation  of our business plan. There can be no assurance that
we will be able to obtain the necessary capital.

     We  will  need to  consistently  generate  positive  cash  flow  or  obtain
additional  financing  until we are able to consistently  yield  sufficient cash
essential for the growth of our  operations in executing our strategic  business
plan.

     As a result of our short operating  history,  it is difficult for potential
investors to evaluate our business.

Although  our common  stock has been listed on the NYSE MKT since July 27, 2011,
the trading in our stock has, at times, been limited and sporadic.

     Additionally, the trading price of our common stock may fluctuate widely in
response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control.  Factors that
could negatively affect our share price include, but are not limited to:

     o    actual  or  anticipated  fluctuations  in  our  quarterly  results  of
          operations;

     o    liquidity;

     o    sales of common stock by our shareholders;

     o    changes in oil and natural gas prices;

     9
o    publication  of research  reports  about us or the oil and natural gas
          exploration and production industry generally;

     o    increases  in market  interest  rates which may  increase  our cost of
          capital;

     o    changes  in  applicable  laws  or   regulations,   court  rulings  and
          enforcement and legal actions;

     o    changes in market valuations of similar companies;

     o    adverse market reaction to any indebtedness we incur in the future;


                                       11
o    additions or departures of key management personnel;

     o    actions by our shareholders;

     o    commencement of or involvement in litigation;

     o    news  reports   relating  to  trends,   concerns,   technological   or
          competitive developments,  regulatory changes and other related issues
          in our industry;

     o    speculation  in  the  press  or  investment  community  regarding  our
          business;

     o    general market and economic conditions; and

     o    domestic and  internationaleconomic,international  economic,  legal and  regulatory  factors
          unrelated to our performance.

     Shares  issuable upon the exercise of outstanding  warrants and options may
substantially  increase  the number of shares  available  for sale in the public
market  and may  depress  the price of our  common  stock.  We have  outstanding
options  and  warrants  which could  potentially  allow the holders to acquire a
substantial number of shares of our common stock. Until the options and warrants
expire,  the holders will have an opportunity to profit from any increase in the
market  price of our  common  stock  without  assuming  the risks of  ownership.
Holders of options and warrants may exercise these  securities at a time when we
could obtain  additional  capital on terms more favorable than those provided by
the options or warrants.  The  exercise of the options and warrants  will dilute
the voting interest of the current owners of our outstanding  shares by adding a
substantial number of additional shares of common stock.

The credit risk of financial institutions could adversely affect us.

     We have entered into  transactions  with  counterparties  in the  financial
services industry,  including commercial banks,  insurance companies,  and their
affiliates.  These transactions expose us to credit risk in the event of default
of our  counterparty,  principally  with respect to hedging  agreements but also
insurance  contracts and bank lending  commitments.  Deterioration in the credit
markets  may  impact  the  credit   ratings  of  our   current   and   potential
counterparties and affect their ability to fulfill their existing obligations to
us and their willingness to enter into future transactions with us.

Our use of hedging  transactions  could  reduce our cash flow  and/or  result in
reported losses.

     We  periodically  enter  into  hedging  agreements  for a  portion  of  our
anticipated  oil  production.  Our commodity  hedging  agreements are limited in
duration,  usually for  periods of two years or less.  Should  commodity  prices
increase after we have entered into a hedging  transaction,  our cash flows will
be lower than they would have been had the hedge not been in place.

     10
For financial reporting purposes,  we do not use hedge accounting,  thus we
are  required  to record  changes in the fair value of our  hedging  instruments
through our  earnings  rather than  through  other  comprehensive  income had we
elected  to use hedge  accounting.  As a  consequence,  we may  report  material
unrealized losses or gains on our hedging  agreements prior to their expiry. The


                                       12


amount of the actual  realized  losses or gains will differ and will be based on
the actual prices of the commodities on the settlement  dates as compared to the
hedged prices  contained in the hedging  agreements.  As a result,  our periodic
financial  results  will be subject to  fluctuations  related to our  derivative
instruments.

We are dependent upon the  contributions of our senior management team and other
key employees for our success.

      If one or more of these executives, or other key employees, were to cease
to be employed by us, our progress could be adversely affected. In particular,
we may have to incur costs to replace senior executive officers or other key

CapWest Securities, Inc. is a securities broker. 21 To our knowledge, the following persons are affiliated with a securities broker: Morris McDonald Zenas N. Gurley Anthony B. Petrelli PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The shares of common stock owned by the selling shareholders may be offered and sold by means of this prospectus from time to time as market conditions permit. The shares of common stock may be sold by one or more of the following methods, without limitation: o a block trade in which a broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; o purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus; o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; and o direct transactions between sellers and purchasers without a broker/dealer. In competing sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from selling shareholders in amounts to be negotiated. As to any particular broker-dealer, this compensation might be in excess of customary commissions. Neither we nor the selling shareholders can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. Notwithstanding the above, we do not believe that any FINRA member will charge commissions that exceed 8% of the total proceeds from the sale. The securities may be sold in one or more transactions at: o fixed prices; o prevailing market prices at the time of sale; o prices related to such prevailing market prices; o varying prices determined at the time of sale; or o negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions: o on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of the sale; o in the over-the-counter market; 22 o otherwise than on such exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market; o through agents.the writing and exercise of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise; or o through the settlement of short sales. These transactions may include block transactions or crosses. Crosses are transactions in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade. In connection with the sales of the securities or otherwise, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions.

Undertakings The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section l0 (a)(3) of the Securities Act: (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the 19 offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of l933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant 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. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such 32 director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of 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.

As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 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 effective date, 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 effective date; or (ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. 20 (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant 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 registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:33 (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. 2134 POWER OF ATTORNEY The registrant and each person whose signature appears below hereby authorizes the agent for service named in this Registration Statement, with full power to act alone, to file one or more amendments (including post-effective amendments) to this Registration Statement, which amendments may make such changes in this Registration Statement as such agent for service deems appropriate, and the Registrant and each such person hereby appoints such agent for service as attorney-in-fact, with full power to act alone, to execute in the name and in behalf of the Registrant and any such person, individually and in each capacity stated below, any such amendments to this Registration Statement.
