Item 3. Prospectus Summary and Risk Factors
The Company
Samoyed Energy Corp. (referred to in this prospectus as “Samoyed”, “us”, “we” and “our”) was incorporated on August 31, 2005 in the State of Nevada. Samoyed's principal executive offices are located at 10870 Harvest Lake Way NE, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, V3M 6H5. Our telephone number is (403) 617-8786. As of the date of this prospectus, we have one oil and gas exploration property.
We are a development stage company. We have not had any revenues , we have limited operations and we have few assets. We do not expect to have revenues until at least six months from the date of the drilling of the well under a Farm-in Agreement for an oil and gas prospect located outside of Calgary, Alberta, and only if the well is commercially successful.
Since incorporation, we have not made any significant purchases or sale of assets, except for the acquisition of a 3.33% working interest in the Chain Well drilling prospect located in Alberta, Canada. We have not been involved in any mergers or consolidations. Samoyed has never declared bankruptcy, has never been in receivership, and has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings.
We were formed to operate in Canada as an oil and gas exploration, development, production and acquisition company.
We plan to aggressively acquire, exploit and explore for oil and gas prospects. We will focus on acquisitions of oil and gas properties where management believes further exploitation and development opportunities exist. While largely opportunity driven, Samoyed plans to pursue a balanced portfolio of crude oil and natural gas prospects. In selecting exploration, exploitation and development prospects, management of Samoyed will choose those that offer an appropriate combination of risk and economic reward, recognizing that all drilling involves substantial risk and that a high degree of competition exists for prospects. We do not intend to purchase other oil and gas companies, but rather identify oil and gas projects that other companies have made available on the open market. No assurance can be given that drilling will prove successful in establishing commercially recoverable reserves. See ''Risk Factors''
Samoyed’s business strategy is to acquire, exploit and explore for oil and natural gas reserves throughout Canada. Samoyed will focus on exploration and acquisition opportunities in the Provinces of Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia with the eventual goal of maintaining high working interests in properties that will allow for operatorship or the potential for operatorship. Acquisitions will be targeted in areas that will compliment the company’s exploration endeavors.
Samoyed intends to focus its business operations on obtaining higher quality reservoirs and to create value through exploitation, development and exploration activities on to be acquired oil and gas prospects with a view to increasing shareholder value and returns, taking into account Samoyed’s financial position, taxability and access to debt and equity financing.
Samoyed hopes to acquire producing properties in order to establish base cash flow and production levels. We expect to compliment our acquisition focus with exploitation and exploration drilling while continuing to pursue our initial focus of the acquisition of production.
Samoyed will endeavor to acquire and explore for longer life reserves that will withstand several pricing cycles and will attempt to focus its asset base on a select number of areas with desirable characteristics. It is anticipated that the number and diversity of these focus areas will expand with the growth of our business.

The Offering
Common Shares Outstanding Before This Offering | 3,500,000 |
Maximum Shares Being Offered | 3,000,000 |
Maximum Common Shares Outstanding After This Offering | 6,500,000 |
Samoyed Energy Corp. is authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of common stock. Current shareholders of Samoyed collectively own 3,500,000 shares of restricted common stock.
This offering consists of 3,000,000 shares of Samoyed Energy Corp. common stock (the “Offering”). The Offering price is $0.10 per share.
There is currently no public market for the common stock of Samoyed, as it is presently not traded on any market or securities exchange.
RISK FACTORS
The securities offered hereby are highly speculative and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment in Samoyed Energy Corp. Each prospective investor should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as all other information set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, before purchasing any of the shares of our common stock.
Failure to Secure Additional Financing May Affect our Company’s Ability to Survive.
We may require additional financing in addition to the funds we hope to raise from the sale of shares offered under this prospectus in order to establish profitable operations. Such financing, if required, may not be forthcoming. Even if additional financing is available, it may not be available on terms we find favorable. Failure to secure the needed additional financing will have a very serious effect on Samoyed’s ability to survive.
4
Inability of Officers and Directors to Devote Sufficient Time to the Operation of the Business May Limit Samoyed’s Success.
Presently the officers and directors of Samoyed allocate only a portion of their time to the operation of Samoyed’s business. Should the business develop faster than anticipated, the officers and directors may not be able to devote sufficient time to the operation of the business to ensure that it continues as a going concern. Even if this lack of sufficient time of our management is not fatal to Samoyed’s existence it may result in limited growth and success of the business.
Unproven Profitably Due to Lack of Operating History Makes an Investment in Samoyed an Investment in an Unproven Venture.
Samoyed Energy Corp. was formed on August 31, 2005. As of this date, we do not have any revenues or operations, and we have few assets. We do not expect to have revenues until at least six months after we complete drilling our first well and only if the well is commercially successful.
Due to our lack of operating history, the revenue and income potential of our business is unproven. If we cannot successfully implement our business strategies, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to operate profitably. Since our resources are very limited, insufficient revenues would result in termination of our operations, as we cannot fund unprofitable operations, unless additional equity or debt financing is obtained.
With No Minimum Share Sale Requirement it is Possible that Samoyed Fails to Adequately Fund Operations Despite Having Raised some Funds from this Offering.
The offering is not subject to any minimum share sale requirement. Consequently, the early investor is not assured of any other, later shares being sold. You may be the only purchaser. If Samoyed fails to sell the entire Offering, it may never be able to adequately fund operations and your investment would be lost.
Difficulty For Samoyed Stockholders to Resell Their Stock Due to a Lack of Public Trading Market
There is presently no public trading market for our common stock, and it is unlikely that an active public trading market can be established or sustained in the foreseeable future. We intend to have our common stock quoted on the OTC/Bulletin Board as soon as practicable. However, there can be no assurance that Samoyed's shares will be quoted on the OTC/Bulletin Board. Until there is an established trading market, holders of our common stock may find it difficult to sell their stock or to obtain accurate quotations for the price of the common stock. If a market for our common stock does develop, our stock price may be volatile.
Our independent auditors’ report states that there is a substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Our independent auditors, Child, Van Wagoner & Bradshaw, PLLC
, state in their audit report, dated October 12, 2005, and included with this prospectus, that since we are a development stage company, have no established source of revenue and are dependent on our ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations, there is a substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our shares because they are considered penny stocks and are subject to the penny stock rules.
Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on NASD broker-dealers who make a market in "penny stocks". A penny stock generally includes any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our shares currently are not traded on Nasdaq nor on any other exchange nor are they quoted on the OTC/Bulletin Board or “OTC/BB”. Following the date that the registration statement, in which this prospectus is included, becomes effective we hope to find a broker-dealer to act as a market maker for our stock and file on our behalf with the NASD an application on Form 15c(2)(11) for approval for our shares to be quoted on the OTC/BB. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not attempted to find a market maker to file such application for us. If we are successful in finding such a market maker and successful in applying for quotation on the OTC/BB, it is very likely that our stock will be considered a “penny stock”. In that case, purchases and sales of our shares will be generally facilitated by NASD broker-dealers who act as market makers for our shares. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in the secondary market.
Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer
5
or "accredited investor" (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt.
In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer's account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.
Our business operations will be speculative. The failure of our plans could ultimately force us to reduce or suspend operations and even liquidate any asset s we have acquired and wind-up and dissolve our company.
Samoyed's business is the acquisition and operation of oil and natural gas assets that either produce or that we hope will produce revenue. As of June 30, 2006 , our only assets consist of cash of $ 10,921, deferred offering costs of $5,000 and payment for oil and gas properties of $16,562 .. Exploration and development of oil and natural gas is extremely risky, particularly given our present financial condition. An investment in our company should be considered highly speculative due to that fact that oil and gas exploration involves a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. There is no assurance that expenditures we make on acquiring producing oil and gas properties will result in revenues. There is no assurance that future exploration will result in new discoveries of oil or gas. Exploratory drilling is very expensive and is subject to numerous risks, including the risk that no commercially productive oil and natural gas reservoirs will be encountered. The cost to drill, complete and operate wells is often uncertain, and drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of a variety of factors including unexpected drill ing conditions, abnormal pressures, equipment failures, premature declines of reservoirs, blow-outs, cratering, sour gas releases, fires, spills or other accidents, as well as weather conditions, compliance with governmental requirements, delays in receiving governmental approvals or permits, unexpected environmental issues and shortages or delays in the delivery of equipment. These uncertainties could result in our portion of the drilling costs exceeding our financial resources to fund the drilling and therefore could result in suspension of drilling activities prior to completion of a well. Our inability to participate in the drilling of wells that produce commercial quantities of oil and natural gas would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Future oil and gas exploration may involve unprofitable efforts, not only from dry wells, but from wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net revenues to return a profit after exploration, drilling, operating and other costs. Completion of wells does not ensure a profit on the investment or recovery of exploration, drilling, completion and operating costs. Drilling hazards or environmental damage could greatly increase the cost of operations, and various field operating conditions may adversely affect production. Adverse conditions include delays in obtaining governmental approvals or consents, shut-ins of connected wells resulting from extreme weather conditions, insufficient storage or transportation capacity or other geological and mechanical conditions.
Samoyed intends to identify exploration and development projects or existing oil and gas production. There can be no guarantee that we will be successful in locating and acquiring working interests in projects of merit or in location of a suitable exploration and development project.
Our future operating results may fluctuate significantly and are difficult to predict.
Our future operating results may fluctuate significantly depending upon a number of factors including industry conditions, prices of oil and natural gas, rate of drilling success, rates of production from completed wells and the timing of capital expenditures. This variability makes it very difficult to predict when we might reach profitability and hence would have a serious impact on the value of investor's investment in our company. In addition, any failure or delay in the realization of expected cash flows from initial operating activities could limit our future ability to continue exploration and to participate in economically attractive projects.
6
A significant or prolonged decrease in oil and natural gas prices will seriously and negatively impact our business plans and operations.
Oil and natural gas are commodities whose prices are determined based on world demand and supply. It is impossible to predict future oil and natural gas price movements with any certainty, as they have historically been subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of market conditions, including relatively minor changes in the supply and demand for oil and natural gas, economic, political and regulatory developments, and competition from other sources of energy.
Any extended or substantial decline in oil and natural gas prices would have a material adverse effect on our ability to negotiate favorable joint ventures with viable industry participants, our ability to acquire drilling rights, the volume of oil and natural gas that could be economically produced, our cash flow and our access to capital.
We do not currently intend to engage in hedging activities (although we reserve the right to do so in the future), and may be more adversely affected by fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices than other industry participants that do engage in such activities. A sustained material decline in prices from historical average prices could add additional limitation factors to our borrowing base, reducing credit available to our company. Our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected by adverse changes in prevailing oil and natural gas prices.
Our officers have limited experience in marketing oil and natural gas.
If we pursue development of an oil and gas prospect without a partner, we will have to establish markets for any oil and natural gas we do produce and we will also have to market our oil and natural gas to prospective buyers. The marketability and price of oil and natural gas, which may be acquired or discovered by us, will be affected by the differential between the price paid by refiners for light quality oil and the grades of oil produced by us. Our ability to market our oil and gas production may depend upon our ability to acquire space on pipelines which deliver oil and gas to commercial markets. We will also likely be affected by deliverability uncertainties related to the proximity of our reserves to pipelines and processing facilities and relating to price, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production, and the export of oil and natural gas. We have limited direct experience in the marketing of oil an d natural gas.
We compete directly with independent, technology-driven exploration and service companies, and with major oil and natural gas companies in our exploration for and development of commercial oil and natural gas properties.
The oil and natural gas industry is highly competitive. Many companies and individuals are engaged in the business of acquiring interests in and developing oil and natural gas properties, and the industry is not dominated by any single competitor or a small number of competitors. We will compete with numerous industry participants for the acquisition of land and rights to prospects, and for the equipment and labor required to drill and develop those prospects. Many of these competitors have financial, technical and other resources substantially in excess of those available to us. These competitive disadvantages could adversely affect our ability to participate in projects with favorable rates of return.
We may be unable to effectively manage our planned growth.
Our success will depend upon the expansion of our business. Expansion will place a significant strain on our financial, management and other resources, and will require us, among other things, to change, expand and improve our operating, managerial and financial systems and controls and improve coordination between our various corporate functions. We presently have no full time employees or management personnel.
We presently have a small working interest in an oil and gas drilling prospect in Alberta, Canada .. We intend to acquire further properties which are expected to be development, exploration or producing properties. We may rely on outside operators for the operations of our oil and gas properties. Should we begin operating our own oil and gas properties we will be forced to hire either field contractors or our own field staff and management personnel to oversee the field operations.
7
Our inability to effectively manage our growth, including the failure of any new personnel we hire to achieve anticipated performance levels, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our President may face possible conflicts of interest through dual directorships.
Our President, Mr. Christopher Yee serves as a director for Buckskin Petroleum Inc. , a company that operates in the oil and gas industry. It is possible that Mr. Yee may face a conflict of interest if he obtains information regarding an oil and gas asset available for acquisition that would fall in the parameters of acquisitions being sought by both companies. Samoyed expects that if such event did occur, that Mr. Yee would pass the information regarding such acquisition to both companies for consideration and withdraw from further activity regarding such asset except with the written consent of both companies.
Samoyed has had no business interaction with Buckskin Petroleum Inc.
There is a possibility that we could incur environmental liabilities that are not covered by insurance, which liabilities could be in excess of any revenues or assets that we may accumulate.
We intend to carry liability insurance for any of our own operations of our oil and gas assets and we intend that any operations of our oil and gas assets conducted by third party operators will carry excess liability insurance contracted by the operator. In the event that losses or damages result from the operation of the assets that are not covered by our insurance in the case of us operating or by the operator's insurance in the case of those assets operated by third parties then in both cases these losses or damages would become a liability for Samoyed. It is possible that uncovered losses and damages could be incurred which could cause us to have to file for bankruptcy protection from the courts.
Item 4. Use of Proceeds
We intend to raise $300,000 from the sale of 3,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share. This Offering has a maximum amount of $300,000 and no minimum. Samoyed has no intention to return any stock sales proceeds to investors if the maximum amount is not raised.
Readers will note that Samoyed has already raised a total of $35,000 from the sale of common stock. The total amount of $35,000 has been raised from the sale of stock to affiliates, officers and directors; these shares sold are restricted and are not being registered in this offering. As at September 30, we had prepaid deferred offering costs of $5,000 to legal counsel against legal expenses and office and administration expenses . We estimate it will require an additional $26,250 to complete this offering. . We intend to pay these expenses from working capital and the proceeds of this offering. Monies we raise from this offering will be used to finance Samoyed’s plan of operations and to pay the estimated costs of $31,250 for the offering of which we have accounted for $5,000 as prepaid deferred offering costs .. None of the proceeds of this offering will be used to repay any existing debt. None of the proceeds will be used to pay officers or directors or to repay any loans from officers or directors.
The following table indicates how Samoyed intends to use these proceeds of this offering.
Working Capital as at June 30, 2006 (including prepaid deferred offering costs) Proceeds from Sale of Common Stock Total | $14,671
$300,000 $314,671 |

8
The above expenditure items are defined as follows:
Costs of Offering
Costs of legal and accounting, printing and all other costs associated with this offering.
Exploration and development: This item refers to the cost for us to acquire, exploit and explore for oil and gas prospects. Samoyed will focus on acquisitions of oil and gas properties where management believes further exploration, exploitation and development opportunities exist.
Legal and Accounting: This expenditure item refers to the normal legal and accounting costs associated with fulfilling the reporting and auditing obligations of a public company. It will also cover the cost of preparation of appropriate agreements and documents. We expect to be making these expenditures throughout the year, commencing on the effective date of the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part.
Consulting: This expenditure item refers to the total cost of consulting with industry experts and consulting engineers.
Office Furniture, Equipment and Supplies: This expenditure refers to items such as a photocopier, fax machine, scanner, telephone system, shredder, binding machine, fire retardant filing cabinets and other similar office requirements. It also includes regular office supplies such as pens, paper and ink cartridges. Samoyed expects to begin making these purchases during the sixth month of operations after the effective date of this prospectus.
Hosting and Telecom: This item refers to the cost of hosting our website and basic monthly telephone and fax services. The amount indicated covers the first year of operations.
Miscellaneous Administration Expenses: This expense refers to any miscellaneous costs that have not been otherwise listed - such as bank service charges and sundry items. This amount is expected to cover such costs during the first year of operation.
Item 5. Determination of Offering Price
There is no established market for our stock. The offering price for shares sold pursuant to this offering is set at $0.10. The 3,500,000 shares of Common stock already purchased by affiliates, officers and directors, were sold for $0.01 per share. All of the shares of outstanding stock are restricted. The additional factors that were included in determining the sales price are the lack of liquidity since there is no present market for our stock and the high level of risk considering our lack of operating history.
Item 6. Dilution
“Net tangible book value” is the amount that results from subtracting the total liabilities and intangible assets from the total assets of an entity. Dilution occurs because we determined the offering price based on factors other than those used in computing book value of our stock. Dilution exists because the book value of shares held by existing stockholders is lower than the offering price offered to new investors.
Samoyed is offering shares of its common stock for $0.10 per share through this offering. Since its inception on August 31, 2005, its affiliates, officers and directors have purchased shares of its common stock for $0.01 per share.
As at June 30, 2006 , the net tangible book value of Samoyed was $0. 0042 per share. If Samoyed is successful in selling all of the offered shares at the public offering price, the pro forma net tangible book value of Samoyed would be $ 283,421 or approximately $ 0. 0436 per share, which would represent an immediate increase of $0. 0394
in net tangible book value per share and $ 0. 0564 or 56.4 % per share dilution to new investors, assuming all the shares are sold at the offering price of $0.10 per share.

Following is a table detailing dilution to investors if 10%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of the offering is sold.

The percent of immediate dilution to new investors is determined by dividing the dilution to new investors by the price to the public.
These two paragraphs compare the differences of your investment in our shares with the share investment of our existing stockholders, the officers and directors of Samoyed. The existing stockholders have purchased a total of 3,500,000 shares for an aggregate amount of $35,000, or an average cost of $0.01 per share. Your investment in our shares will cost you $0.10 per share.

Item 14. Disclosure of Commission Position of Indemnification for Securities Liabilities
The Nevada General Corporation Law requires Samoyed to indemnify officers and directors for any expenses incurred by any officer or director in connection with any actions or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, brought against such officer or director because of his or her status as an officer or director, to the extent that the director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action or proceeding. The Nevada General Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify an officer or director, even in the absence of an agreement to do so, for expenses incurred in connection with any action or proceeding if such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and such indemnification is authorized by the stockholders, by a quorum of disinterested directors, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion authorized by a majority vote of a quorum of directors consisting of disinterested directors, or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum of disinterested directors cannot be obtained.
The Nevada General Corporation Law prohibits indemnification of a director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that the officer's or director's acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law and were material to the cause of action. Despite the foregoing limitations on indemnification, the Nevada General Corporation Law may permit an officer or director to apply to the court for approval of indemnification even if the officer or director is adjudged to have committed intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law.
The Nevada General Corporation Law also provides that indemnification of directors is not permitted for the unlawful payment of distributions, except for those directors registering their dissent to the payment of the distribution.
According to Section 10 of Samoyed Energy Corp.’s bylaws, Samoyed is authorized to indemnify its directors to the fullest extent authorized under Nevada Law subject to certain specified limitations.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be provided to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Samoyed has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 16. Description of Business
Business Development
Samoyed Energy Corp. was incorporated on August 31, 2005, in the State of Nevada. We have begun our business operations by acquiring a 3.33% working internest in an oil and gas drilling prospect in Alberta, Canada. We currently have no revenue and no significant assets. Samoyed has never declared bankruptcy, has never been in receivership, and has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings. Since becoming incorporated, Samoyed has not made any significant purchase or sale of assets, save for the acquisition of a 3.33% working interest in an oil and gas drilling prospect nor has it been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations. Samoyed is not a blank check registrant as that term is defined in Rule 419(a)(2) of Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933, since it has a specific business plan or purpose.
Neither Samoyed nor its officers, directors, promoters or affiliates, has had preliminary contact or discussions with, nor do we have any present plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with any representatives of the owners of any business or company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger.
14
On February 15, 2006 the Company executed a Farm-out agreement with 313866 Alberta Ltd in the Chain 11 - 18 – 33 – 16W4W4 for $16,562 to earn a 3.333% Working Interest. Drilling is expected to commence in the fall of 2006.
Business of Issuer
Samoyed was formed to operate in Canada as an oil and gas exploration, development, production and acquisition company. As at the date hereof, Samoyed owns only one (1) oil and gas property. (See “Business Development”.)
Samoyed plans to acquire, exploit and explore for oil and gas prospects. Samoyed will focus on acquisitions of oil and gas properties where management believes further exploration, exploitation and development opportunities exist.
While largely opportunity driven, the Corporation plans to pursue a balanced portfolio of crude oil and natural gas prospects. In selecting exploration, exploitation and development prospects, management of Samoyed will choose those that offer an appropriate combination of risk and economic reward, recognizing that all drilling involves substantial risk and that a high degree of competition exists for prospects. No assurance can be given that drilling will prove successful in establishing commercially recoverable reserves. See ''Risk Factors''
Samoyed’s business strategy is to acquire, exploit and explore for oil and natural gas reserves throughout Canada. Samoyed will focus on exploration and acquisition opportunities in the Provinces of Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia with the goal of maintaining high working interests in properties that will allow for operatorship or the potential for operatorship. Acquisitions will be targeted in areas that will compliment the company’s exploration endeavors. Samoyed will seek out, analyze and complete corporate mergers and asset acquisitions where value creation opportunities have been identified.
Samoyed will consistently use the following operation and financial management techniques to increase shareholder
value and returns, taking into account Samoyed’s financial position, taxability and access to debt and equity financing:
•
Focus growth capital to higher quality reservoirs;
•
Utilize production enhancement techniques to increase productivity and add value within the parameters of good oilfield production practices;
•
Create value from Samoyed’s asset base through exploitation, development and exploration activities; and
•
Utilize risk management opportunities through hedging or other means for cash flow management.
Once funded under this Offering , the focus of Samoyed will be to acquire producing properties in order to establish base cash flow and production levels. This acquisition focus will be complimented with both exploitation and exploration drilling.
With a focus on enhancing shareholder value, Samoyed will look to acquire and develop oil and gas assets that have
as many of the following characteristics as possible:
•
Exhibit the potential for delivering superior rates of return on capital employed;
•
Accretive to cash flow per share;
•
Accretive to net asset value;
•
Accretive to reserves per share;
•
Potential for value enhancement through further exploitation, including improved production practices, additional development drilling, infill drilling or re-drilling/re-completion and improved marketing arrangements;
•
Operatorship or the potential to obtain the same;
•
Assets that include associated undeveloped lands for development and exploration opportunities;
•
Geological opportunities with multi-zone potential;
•
Near-term market access and sufficient infrastructure for increased activity.
Samoyed will endeavor to acquire and explore for longer life reserves that will withstand several pricing cycles and
will attempt to focus its asset base on a select number of areas with desirable characteristics. It is anticipated that
the number and diversity of these focus areas will expand with the growth of the Corporation’s business.
15
Farmout Agreement dated February 15, 2006,
The Farmout Agreement between 313866 Alberta Ltd and Samoyed Energy Corp. includes the following terms and conditions:
1.
The well is to be completed, then placed on stream by the farmee(s) (i.e. investors) at 100% of their cost. This is estimated to be $450,000 Cdn.
2.
313866 Alberta Ltd has title to this lease and has committed to placing the well on stream if it is commercially viable.
3.
313866 Alberta Ltd, or its related companies, will retain a 25% carried Working Interest in the well.
4.
The standard Crown Royalties are applicable. In addition there is a 5% Gross Royalty payable to Results USA and 5% GOR payable to J. Lazy H. Investments Ltd.
5.
The standard CAPL and PASC agreements will be utilized.
6.
Samoyed’s investment of $20,000Cdn will be placed directly towards well costs, and will earn a 3.333% Working Interest in the Chain Well.
Drilling is expected to commence in the fall of 2006.
Chain 11 - 18 – 33 – 16W4W4
•
The main producing zone at Chain is the Viking zone, a blanket sand deposit, found at an average depth of 1050 meters.
•
The Belly River gas zone at 300 meters, appeared prospective on the 7-18 well. Additionally, the Edmonton sandstone, an even shallower gas sand have had recent completions in acreage surrounding the project.
•
The planned well at 11-18 is to be drilled to explore these two shallow sands as well as the Coal Bed Methane potential.
•
The well will be drilled by normal methods, utilizing either low water loss mud, mist or invert mud.
Disclosure of Oil and Gas Activities:
We presently have no properties and no oil and gas operations except for the Farmout Agreement with 313866 Alberta Ltd described above. We intend to seek acquisitions in the oil and gas industry.
Reserves Reported to Other Agencies:
The Company did not report any reserves to other agencies since the beginning of the last fiscal year.
Production:
The Company has no production data for the last three fiscal years.
Drilling Activity:
We expect to commence drilling as described in the Farmout Agreement with 313866 Alberta Ltd. in the fall of 2006.
Present Activities:
Samoyed has entered into a Farmout Agreement with 313866 Alberta Ltd on February 15, 2006 to drill a well. Samoyed has paid their portion of the drilling costs, expected to total $450,000 CDN for the well to be drilled..
Delivery Commitments:
The Company does not have any delivery commitments or any short or long term contractual obligations.
16
Marketing
We currently do not conduct any marketing activities. When we have oil and gas producing properties, the sale of the extracted products is determined by existing market conditions. We do not believe that any marketing activities will be necessary to conduct operations following the acquisition of any of the properties described above. The properties described above currently have operators who will be responsible for the marketing. Should we take on the operatorship of a property then one of the responsibilities would be the marketing of the products. At this time, we have no plans for becoming an operator.
Pricing and Marketing - Oil
In Canada, producers of oil negotiate sales contracts directly with oil purchasers, with the result that the market determines the price of oil. The price depends in part on oil quality, prices of competing fuels, distance to market, the value of refined products and the supply/demand balance. Oil exports may be made pursuant to export contracts with terms not exceeding one year in the case of light crude, and not exceeding two years in the case of heavy crude, provided that an order approving any such export has been obtained from the National Energy Board of Canada (“NEB”). Any oil export to be made pursuant to a contract of longer duration (to a maximum of 25 years) requires an exporter to obtain an export license from the NEB and the issue of such a license requires the approval of the Governor in Council.
Pricing and Marketing - Natural Gas
In Canada, the price of natural gas sold in interprovincial and international trade is determined by negotiation between buyers and sellers. Natural gas exported from Canada is subject to regulation by the NEB and the Government of Canada. Exporters are free to negotiate prices and other terms with purchasers, provided that the export contracts continue to meet certain criteria prescribed by the NEB and the Government of Canada. Natural gas exports for a term of less than two years or for a term of two to 20 years (in quantities of not more than 30,000
m3/day) must be made pursuant to an NEB order. Any natural gas export to be made pursuant to a contract of longer duration (to a maximum of 25 years) or a larger quantity requires an exporter to obtain an export license from the NEB and the issue of such a license requires the approval of the Governor in Council.
The governments of Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan also regulate the volume of natural gas which may be removed from those provinces for consumption elsewhere based on such factors as reserve availability, transportation arrangements and market considerations.
The North American Free Trade Agreement
On January 1, 1994, NAFTA became effective among the governments of Canada, the United States of America and
Mexico. NAFTA carries forward most of the material energy terms contained in the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement. In the context of energy resources, Canada continues to remain free to determine whether exports to the
United States of America or Mexico will be allowed provided that any export restrictions do not: (i) reduce the proportion of energy resource exported relative to domestic use (based upon the proportion prevailing in the most recent 36 month period), (ii) impose an export price higher than the domestic price, and (iii) disrupt normal channels of supply. All three countries are prohibited from imposing minimum export or import price requirements.
NAFTA contemplates the reduction of Mexican restrictive trade practices in the energy sector and prohibits discriminatory border restrictions and export taxes. NAFTA also contemplates clearer disciplines on regulators to ensure fair implementation of any regulatory changes and to minimize disruption of contractual arrangements, which is important for Canadian natural gas exports.
Competition
Our competition comes from other oil and gas companies that are acquiring oil and gas assets that we would contemplate acquiring due to its investment and capital costs compared to our financial capabilities. Since our financial resources are severely limited at this time, we are at a distinct disadvantage when competing against companies with significant assets.
Employees
We presently have no employees. We hire consultants as required and rely on present management, being the directors and officers, to direct our business. We will need to hire employees with experience in the oil and gas
17
industry as we implement our business plan to grow the Company by acquisition of producing oil and gas assets and exploration and development properties where the Company may participate in drilling or in the acquisition of any business in the oil and gas industry. As we grow through acquisitions we will require employees with oil and gas expertise to review potential acquisitions and accounting and administrative staff to manage revenues and expenditures. We intend to hire these employees as it raises capital and completes acquisitions requiring these employees. Should we find a property or properties of merit which would require an operator, we would need to hire additional staff for operations.
REGULATORY MATTERS AFFECTING OUR BUSINESS
Environment and Safety
Our oil and gas acquisitions will be subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection from the time oil and gas projects commence until abandonment. These laws and regulations govern, among other things, the amounts and types of substances and materials that may be released into the environment, the issuance of permits in connection with exploration, drilling and production activities, the release of emissions into the atmosphere, the discharge and disposition of generated waste materials, offshore oil and gas operations, the reclamation and abandonment of wells and facility sites and the remediation of contaminated sites. In addition, these laws and regulations may impose substantial liabilities for the failure to comply with them or for any contamination resulting from the operations associated with our assets. Laws and regulations protecting the environment have become more stringen t in recent years, and may in certain circumstances impose "strict liability," rendering a person liable for environmental damage without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such person. Such laws and regulations may expose us to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others, or for acts of Samoyed which were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time such acts were performed. The application of these requirements or the adoption of new requirements could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
We take the issue of environmental stewardship very seriously and will work diligently with our operators to insure that compliance with applicable environmental and safety rules and regulations. However, because environmental laws and regulations are becoming increasingly more stringent, there can be no assurances that such laws and regulations or any environmental law or regulation enacted in the future will not have a material effect on our operations or financial condition.
Exploration and Operating Risks
Our business will be subject to all of the operating risks normally associated with the exploration for and production of oil and gas, including blowouts, cratering and fire, any of which could result in damage to, or destruction of, oil and gas wells or formations or production facilities and other property and injury to persons. As protection against financial loss resulting from these operating hazards, Samoyed will maintain, through its operators, insurance coverage, including certain physical damage, employer's liability, comprehensive general liability and worker's compensation insurance. Although we are not insured against all risks in all aspects of its business, such as political risk, business interruption risk and risk of major terrorist attacks, we believe that this coverage is customary for companies engaged in similar operations. The occurrence of a significant event against which we are not fully insured would have a materi al adverse effect on our financial position.
Patent, Trademark, License & Franchise Restrictions and Contractual Obligations & Concessions
There are no inherent factors or circumstances associated with this industry that would give cause for any patent, trademark or license infringements or violations. Samoyed has not entered into any franchise agreements or other contracts that have given, or could give rise to obligations or concessions.
At present Samoyed does not hold any intellectual property nor does it anticipate that it will have any need for any intellectual property.
Research and Development Activities and Costs
Samoyed has not incurred any costs to date and has no plans to undertake any research and development activities.
18
Facilities
We do not own or rent facilities of any kind. At present we are operating from our principal office address that is located within the offices of our President, who provides this space free of charge. We will continue to use this space for our executive offices for the foreseeable future.
Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Samoyed uses words such as: anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions, to identify such forward-looking statements. You should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Actual results are most likely to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced as described in this Risk Factors section and elsewhere in this prospectus. Factors which may cause the actual results or the actual plan of operations to vary include, among other things, decisions of the board of directors not to pursue a specific course of action based on its re-assessment of the facts or new facts, or changes in general economic conditions and those other factors set out in this prospectus.
Reports to Security Holders
We will voluntarily make available to securities holders an annual report, including audited financials on, Form 10-KSB. We are not currently a fully reporting company, but upon effectiveness of this registration statement, we will be required to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; such as quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB, and current reports on Form 8-K.
The public may read and copy any materials filed with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information about the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov.
Item 17. Plan of Operation
Samoyed Energy Corp. is a development stage company with no operations, no revenue, no financial backing and few assets. Our plan of operations is to establish ourselves as an oil and gas company with both production and exploration properties.
During the first stages of Samoyed’s growth the officers and directors will provide all the management to further the sourcing of oil and gas properties at no charge. Since we intend to operate with very limited administrative support, the officers and directors will continue to be responsible for these duties for at least the first year of operations. We may need to hire industry experts to review properties prior to undertaking any acquisitions. We have provided for the funds to hire these experts in our budget from the funds to be raised under this prospectus.
How long Samoyed will be able to satisfy its cash requirements, and whether we will require additional outside funding in the next twelve months (12) depends on how quickly our company can generate revenue and how much revenue can be generated. At the present time we do not have sufficient funds available to complete the expenses of this offering , however , should we raise the entire $300,000 we are seeking from this offering, management is of the opinion that no further funds need be required for the operation of Samoyed’s business for the twelve month period following the completion of this offering. If we fail to raise any portion of the $300,000 we are seeking from this offering, then we will have to find other methods to raise additional funds. At this time, there are no anticipated sources of additional funds in place.
If we are unable to raise additional funding through this offering or from other sources, we will not be able to survive more than several months. In that event, it will be critical that we begin to realize revenues as quickly as possible. We will require additional funding from either outside sources or from reserves to survive past our first year of operation.
We are confident we can meet our financial obligations and pursue our plan of operations if we can raise $300,000 through this offering.
19
There are also no plans or expectations to purchase or sell any significant equipment in the first year of operations. Management also has no intention of hiring any employees during the first year of operations, unless there is sufficient revenue from operations to do so.
During the first year of operations, we will concentrate our efforts exclusively on identifying and acquiring oil and properties of merit, either production or exploration, in the Provinces of Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, Canada.
We currently do not have the $300,000 needed to commence our operations, nor do we have a source to supply the necessary funding if we are unsuccessful in raising the capital through this offering. Samoyed believes that it will take from two (2) to three (3) months to raise capital for completion of the development of the business after this prospectus becomes effective.
During our first year of operations, we expect to identify and acquire at least one additional oil and gas property of merit. We cannot determine at this time whether this will be an exploration property or a producing property. If it is an exploration property we will need to drill a well, which will be required to be successful in order to be able to commence revenues. If we acquire a producing property we will expect revenues to commence upon acquisition.
Milestones
As soon as sufficient funds are available from this offering, we intend to immediately start to review potential additional oil and gas acquisitions.
Members of our management will initially operate from their homes and our President will provide an office free of charge. For the first three months we expect that we will review potential acquisitions and determine at least one suitable acquisition to fit with our business plan.
Dependent on the type of property we acquire, we will either be required to drill a well or wells, in order to commence revenues or we may acquire a producing property which would mean that revenues should commence within 30 days of the acquisition of the property. We cannot at this time state with certainty how long it will take to find a suitable acquisition for which we will have sufficient funds or if we do find an acquisition which is an exploration or development property, how long it will take to drill a well. Further, there can be no guarantees that if we drill a well we will be successful in being able to produce oil or gas in sufficient quantities to sustain operations.
By the fourth month we intend to have found a suitable oil and gas property. We will initially seek a property which is in production and will generate revenue or hope to also find a suitable exploration and development property for new drilling to expand our revenue base. We expect that our projected budget of $240,000US based on present costs of $ 53,400USD per flowing barrel of oil would equate to a production property of approximately 4.5 barrels per day which should generate approximately $ 240.00USD net per day of revenue after costs of production and royalties. This expectation is based on the present experience of our President who is a director of an existing oil and gas company. Should Samoyed be unable to negotiate a reasonable price for a producing property then they will look to negotiate the acquisition of working interests into low risk drilling prospects. It is expected that $240,000.00US would be more than adequate to purchase some working interests in two or three drilling prospects, which we would expect would be situated in one of our core areas.
By the sixth month we plan to have at least one producing well and one additional exploration property on which we can start drilling. We expect that we will either be able to fund this growth from existing revenues or by loans or equity financings.
At the current time, Samoyed has acquired a small working interest in an oil and gas drilling prospect in Alberta, Canada. Once we have funded this Offering we will start to develop leads and review properties however, we will be unable to finalize any further agreements until such time as this prospectus goes effective and we have raised sufficient funds to make further acquisitions .. It is possible that during the review of this prospectus we could find an acquisition that would fit within our business plan, in which case, we will look to raise funds for this acquisition by way of loans or convertible debentures, or the sale of additional shares.

Expenditures
The following chart provides an overview of our budgeted expenditures, by major area of activity, for Samoyed to remain operational for the twelve (12) month period upon effectiveness of this prospectus.
Expenses Offering Costs not covered by working capital Exploration and development activities Legal and Accounting Consulting Office Furniture, Equipment and Supplies Miscellaneous Administration Expenses Total |
16,579 240,000 20,000 10,000 15,000 3,421 $305 ,000 |
The above expenditure items are defined as follows:
Offering Costs not covered by working capital: This item refers to the costs of the Offering estimated to be $31,250 of which a total of $5000 has been paid to date. We presently have $9,671 working capital to be applied against these costs leaving an amount of $16,579 due and payable against the remaining Offering costs of $26,250.
Exploration and Development Activities: This item refers to the cost of acquiring an oil and gas prospect which may be either a producing property or a property which will require drilling. We expect to be incurring these costs beginning during the third month of operations after the effective date of this prospectus, and we expect that we will need all of these funds should we identify a suitable property.
Legal and Accounting: This expenditure item refers to the normal legal and accounting costs associated with maintaining a publicly traded company. It will also cover the cost of preparation of appropriate agreements and documents. We expect to be making these expenditures throughout the year, commencing on the effective date of this registration.
Consulting: This expenditure item refers to the total cost of consulting with industry experts. We expect to retain outside geologists and engineers to review any properties before they are acquired.
Office Furniture, Equipment and Supplies: This expenditure refers to items such as photocopier, fax machine, scanner, telephone system, shredder, binding machine, fire retardant filing cabinets and other similar office requirements. Samoyed expects to begin making these purchases during the fourth month of operations after the effective date of this prospectus.
Miscellaneous Administration Expenses: This expense refers to any miscellaneous costs that have not been otherwise listed - such as bank service charges and sundry items. This amount will cover such costs during the first year of operation.
As previously noted, we have raised $35,000 from the sale of stock to affiliates, officers and directors. To date we have paid $5, 000 of the expenses associated with this offering which is shown on the balance sheet presently under deferred offering costs. We anticipate offering costs to total $31,250 , and therefore we will have a total of $26,250 remaining to pay .. On June 30, 2006 we had $ 10,921 in cash on hand . .. After the remaining $ 10,921 is applied against the outstanding payables of $1250 and the costs of the Offering of $26,250 , we will have a deficit of $16,579 which we expect to pay from funds raised under this Offering .. Should we raise the entire $300,000 we are seeking from this offering and pay out the costs of the Offering we will have sufficient funds for the operation of Samoyed’s business for the twelve month period following the completion of this Offering. If we fail to raise any portion of the $300,000 we are seeking from this Offering , then we will have to find other methods to raise additional funds to pay for the expenses of this Offering and for ongoing operations .. At this time, there are no anticipated sources of additional funds in place.
21
We are confident we can meet our financial obligations and pursue our plan of operations if we can raise the amount of funding as contemplated by this Offering, and begin collecting revenue from operations within the first six months of this prospectus becoming effective.
Item 18. Description of Property
Samoyed does not own any property, real or otherwise. For the first year, we will conduct our administrative affairs from the office of Mr. Yee, our President, at no cost to Samoyed.
We do not have any investments or interests in any real estate. Our company does not invest in real estate mortgages, nor does it invest in securities of, or interests in, persons primarily engaged in real estate activities.
Item 19. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Other than the stock transactions discussed below, Samoyed has not entered into any transaction nor are there any proposed transactions in which any director, executive officer, shareholder of Samoyed or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest.
Mr. Christopher Yee, Mr. Dan Koyich, Mr. Dave Burroughs and Mr. Wally Yee, each purchased 500,000 shares of our common stock on September 23, 2005, in a private offering at a price of $0.01 per share for a total of $20,000.
There are no promoters being used in relation to this offering, except for Samoyed’s officers and directors who will be selling the securities offered by the Company and who may be deemed to be promoters under Rule 405 of Regulation C promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933. No person who may, in the future, be considered a promoter of this offering, will receive or expect to receive assets, services or other considerations from us. No assets will be, nor are expected to be, acquired from any promoter on behalf of our company. We have not entered into any agreements that require disclosure to our shareholders.
Mr. Wally Yee, who is a director of the Company, is the brother of Mr. Christopher Yee, a director and the President of the Company.
Item 20. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
Market Information
Currently there is no public trading market for our stock, and we have not applied to have Samoyed’s common stock listed. We intend to apply to have our common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. No trading symbol has yet been assigned.
Rules Governing Low-Price Stocks that May Affect Our Shareholders' Ability to Resell Shares of Our Common Stock
Our stock currently is not traded on any stock exchange or quoted on any stock quotation system. Upon the registration statement in which this prospectus is included becoming effective, we will apply for quotation of our common stock on the OTC/BB. Companies whose stock is quoted on the OTC/BB do not have any filing, reporting or listing requirements with the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. or the NASD. Such companies are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the SEC.
Quotations on the OTC/BB reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, markdown or commission and may not reflect actual transactions. Samoyed’s common stock may be subject to certain rules adopted by the SEC that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks". Penny stocks generally are securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that the exchange or system provides current price and volume information with respect to transaction in such securities.
Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our shares because they are considered penny stocks and are subject to the penny stock rules.
Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on NASD broker-dealers who make a market in "penny stocks". A penny stock generally includes any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our shares currently
22
are not traded on Nasdaq nor on any other exchange nor are they quoted on the OTC/Bulletin Board or “OTC/BB”. Following the date that the registration statement, in which this prospectus is included, becomes effective we hope to find a broker-dealer to act as a market maker for our stock and file on our behalf with the NASD an application on Form 15c(2)(11) for approval for our shares to be quoted on the OTC/BB. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not attempted to find a market maker to file such application for us. If we are successful in finding such a market maker and successful in applying for quotation on the OTC/BB, it is very likely that our stock will be considered a “penny stock”. In that case, purchases and sales of our shares will be generally facilitated by NASD broker-dealers who act as market makers for our shares. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in the secondary market.
Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or "accredited investor" (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt.
In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer's account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.
The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers are may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in the secondary market.
Unless the transaction is otherwise exempt, the penny stock rules require broker-dealers, prior to a transaction in a penny stock by someone other than an established customer or an “accredited investor”, to make a special suitability determination for the purchaser to receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, to deliver standardized risk disclosure documents prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock. In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer's account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.
Generally, an individual is regarded as an “accredited investor” if he or she has a net worth in excess of $1 million or an annual income in excess of $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse.
Holders
As of the filing of this prospectus, we have seven (7) shareholders of record of Samoyed common stock.
Rule 144 Shares.
A total of 3,500,000 shares of the common stock will be available for resale to the public after September 28, 2006 in accordance with the volume and trading limitations of Rule 144 of the Act. In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person who has beneficially owned shares of a company's common stock for at least one year is entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of: 1% of the number of shares of Samoyed common stock then outstanding which, in this case, will equal approximately 28,200 shares as of the date of this prospectus; or the average weekly trading volume of Samoyed common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on form 144 with respect to the sale.
Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about Samoyed. Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not one of Samoyed’s affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for
23
at least 2 years, is entitled to sell shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.
As of the date of this prospectus, persons who are Samoyed affiliates hold 2,000,000 shares, which may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 after September 30, 2006.
Dividends.
As of the filing of this prospectus, we have not paid any dividends to our shareholders. There are no restrictions which would limit the ability of Samoyed to pay dividends on common equity or that are likely to do so in the future. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend: Samoyed would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or its total assets would be less than the sum of the total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.
Difficulty To Resell Samoyed Stock, As The Company Has No Expectations To Pay Cash Dividends In The Near Future
The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, and if, declared by the board of directors. We will not be paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but instead we will be retaining any and all earnings to finance the growth of our business. To date, we have not paid cash dividends on our common stock. This lack of an ongoing return on investment may make it difficult to sell our common stock and if the stock is sold the seller may be forced to sell the stock at a loss.
Item 21. Executive Compensation
From the date of inception through the date of this prospectus, our executive officers have not currently received and are not accruing any compensation. The officers anticipate that they will not receive, accrue, earn, be paid or awarded any compensation during the first year of operations.
Item 22. Financial Statements
The unaudited financial statements for the nine month period ended June 30, 2006 and the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 of Samoyed appear on pages F-1 through F- 14 :

The financial statements included herein have been prepared by SAMOYED ENERGY CORP. (the “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the September 30, 2005, audited financial statements and the accompanying notes.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Officers and Directors
Samoyed Energy Corp.
Calgary, Alberta
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Samoyed Energy Corp. (a Nevada development stage corporation) as of September 30, 2005, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from August 31, 2005 (date of inception) to September 30, 2005. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Samoyed Energy Corp. as of September 30, 2005, and the results of its operations, stockholders’ equity, and its cash flows for the period from August 31, 2005 (date of inception) to September 30, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is in the development stage, and has no established source of revenue and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations. These factors, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2005
(Stated in US Dollars)
Note 1
Nature and Continuance of Operations
a)
Organization
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States of America on August 31, 2005. The Company’s year-end is September 30 ..
b)
Development Stage Activities
The Company is in the development stage and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. The Company intends to operate in Canada as an oil and gas exploration, development, production and acquisition company. As at the date hereof, the Company has no interest in oil and gas properties.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has accumulated a deficit of $1,300 since inception. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.
Note 2
Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates, which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
a)
Organizational and Start-up Costs
Costs of start-up activities, including organizational costs, are expensed as incurred.
b)
Development Stage Company
The Company is a development stage company as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7. The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business and none of its planned principal operations have commenced. All losses accumulated since inception has been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.
c)
Offering Expenses
The Company proposes to file a Form SB-2 Registration Statement to offer to the public up to 3,000,000 common shares at $0.10 per share. The $31,250 estimated costs relating to this Registration Statement will be charged to capital , if the offering is successful. If the offering is not successful, the costs will be charged to expense ..

Note 2
Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)
d)
Income Taxes
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109 – “Accounting for Income Taxes”. SFAS No. 109 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting of income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
e)
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
In accordance with SFAS No. 128 – “Earnings Per Share”, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. At September 30, 2005, the Company had no stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded in the loss per share computation.
f)
Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial statements.
g)
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional currency is Canadian dollars as all of the Company’s operations are in Canada. The Company used the United States of America dollar as its reporting currency for consistency with registrants of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting No. 52.
Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the year end and capital accounts are translated at historical rates. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year and are included in the Comprehensive Income Account in Stockholders’ Equity, if applicable.
Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date. Any exchange gains or losses are included in the Statement of Operations.
h)
New Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards if currently adopted could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

The amount taking into income as deferred tax assets must reflect that portion of the income tax loss carry forwards that is likely to be realized from future operations.

At September 30, 2005, the Company has accumulated non-capital losses totaling $ nil, which are available to reduce taxable income in future taxation years. These losses expire beginning in 2024.

PART II. INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and the bylaws.
Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's Articles of Incorporation. Samoyed’s Articles of Incorporation do not specifically limit the directors’ immunity. Excepted from that immunity are: (a) a willful failure to deal fairly with Samoyed or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest; (b) a violation of criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; (c) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and (d) willful misconduct.
Samoyed’s bylaws provide that we will indemnify the directors to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that Samoyed may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with the directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding, or part thereof, initiated by such person unless such indemnification: (a) is expressly required to be made by law, (b) the proceeding was authorized by the board of directors, (c) is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested us under Nevada law or (d) is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws.
Our bylaws provide that we will advance to 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, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of Samoyed, or is or was serving at the request of us as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefore, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under the bylaws or otherwise.
Our bylaws provide that no advance shall be made by it to an officer of Samoyed except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of Samoyed in which event this paragraph shall not apply, in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Samoyed.
Item 25. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution
We have, or will expend fees in relation to this registration statement as detailed below:
Expenditure Item | Amount |
Attorney Fees | $25,000 |
Audit Fees | 2,000 |

Item 26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
We have sold securities within the past three years without registering the securities under the Securities Act of 1933 on one occasion.
During the period from September 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005, a private offering was completed, under which 3,500,000 shares of common stock were sold by subscription at a price of $0.01 per share to eleven (11) shareholders for $35,000. Neither we nor any person acting on our behalf offered or sold these securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The shares sold are restricted securities and the certificates representing these shares have been affixed with a standard restrictive legend, which states that the securities cannot be sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption therefrom. Each purchaser represented to us that he was purchasing the securities for his own account and not for the account of any other persons. Each purchaser was provided with written disclosure that the securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and therefore cannot be sold without re gistration under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption therefrom. No underwriters were used, and no commissions or other remuneration was paid except to Samoyed. The securities were sold in reliance on Regulation D, Section 504 of the Securities Act of 1933.
Samoyed qualified for an exemption from registration under Rule 504 for these issuances since it is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Act of 1933, is not an investment company, it had a specific business plan at the time it sold the securities, it was not a blank check company, as that term is defined in Rule 419(a)(2) of Regulation C or Rule 504 (a)(3) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. Neither Samoyed nor any person acting on its behalf offered or sold any of the securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The securities sold are restricted shares; the purchasers were informed that the securities cannot be resold without the securities being registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption therefrom. Samoyed exercised reasonable care to assure that the purchases were not underwritten within the meaning of section 2(a)(11) of this Act inclu ding but not limited to the placement of a restrictive legend on the certificates representing the shares, and the aggregate offering price was less that $1,000,000.
The following table provides details of all stock sales transactions that have taken place during the period from Samoyed’s formation, on August 31, 2005, to the date of this Registration Statement.

Item 28. Undertakings
Samoyed hereby undertakes the following:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(a)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a) (3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(b)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement, or most recent post-effective amendment, which, individually or together , represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement; and
(c)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(3) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(a) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B (§230.430B of this chapter):
(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) (§230.424(b)(3) of this chapter) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) (§230.424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) of this chapter) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) (§230.415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) of this chapter) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that 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
(b) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C (§230.430C of this chapter), 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 (§230.430A of this chapter), 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.
(4) For determining liability of Samoyed under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, Samoyed undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of Samoyed pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are
28
offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, Samoyed 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 Samoyed 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 Samoyed or used or referred to by Samoyed;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about Samoyed or its securities provided by or on behalf of Samoyed; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by Samoyed to the purchaser.
(5)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, Samoyed has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
(6) In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of the directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of the directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, Samoyed 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 is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and Samoyed will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(7) For determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant under Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this Registration Statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective.
(8) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
