ITEM 1.01    ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On April 25, 2006, Galaxy Energy Corporation ("Galaxy") entered into a
Securities Purchase Agreement with several accredited investors (the
"Investors") pursuant to which Galaxy agreed to sell, and the Investors agreed
to purchase in the aggregate, up to $4,500,000 principal amount of Subordinated
Convertible Debentures. The debentures are further described in Item 2.03 below.
In addition, the Investors also received three-year warrants that allow the
holders to purchase 865,383 shares of common stock at $1.60 per share. Galaxy
paid a placement fee of $100,000.

Proceeds of the financing will be used to reduce debt, for operating expenses,
and for the further development of Galaxy's existing properties.

Galaxy has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in order to register the resale of the shares issuable upon
conversion of the debentures and the shares issuable upon exercise of the
warrants that were issued to the holders.

This summary description of the financing does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Securities Purchase Agreement and
other transaction documents, which are filed as exhibits hereto.


ITEM 2.03    CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN
             OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT

The debentures have the following material terms:

   o     Interest at 15% per annum, payable at maturity;

   o     Term of 30 months, which will extend automatically until all of
         Galaxy's senior debt has been retired;

   o     In the event the debentures are retired at maturity, the holders are
         entitled to an additional payment equal to the sum of 25% plus 0.75%
         for each month (or part thereof) in excess of 30 months that the
         debentures have remained outstanding;

   o     Subordinated to all senior indebtedness of Galaxy;

   o     Convertible at any time by the holders into shares of Galaxy common
         stock at a price equal to $1.56; and

   o     Full anti-dilution protections until the later of (i) April 25, 2008 or
         (ii) the completion of new financing of at least $25,000,000 at a stock
         price greater than $3.12, with weighted-average anti-dilution
         protection thereafter;

   o     Anti-dilution protections not to be applicable to the amendment,
         exercise, conversion or redemption of any capital shares equivalent or
         options issued and outstanding as of April 25, 2006; the payment of
         interest on any senior debt in shares of Galaxy's common



                                       2


         stock; the issuance of any shares or capital shares equivalent pursuant
         to the terms of any convertible securities issued and outstanding as of
         April 25, 2006; or the issuance of securities in connection with
         acquisitions or strategic investments, the primary purpose of which is
         not to raise capital.


ITEM 3.01    NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE
             OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING

On April 25, 2006, Galaxy received a notice of failure to satisfy Section
1003(a)(iv) of the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") Company Guide for continued
listing on AMEX. Such notice is a result of the recent losses that Galaxy has
sustained, as well as its significant working capital deficiency as reported in
its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 28, 2006.
Galaxy expects to submit a plan to AMEX by May 10, 2006, in which it will advise
AMEX of action it has taken, or will take, that would bring it into compliance
with Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Company Guide by July 24, 2006.


ITEM 3.02    UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

On April 25, 2006, Galaxy sold three-year warrants that allow the holders to
purchase 865,383 shares of common stock at $1.60 per share (the "Warrants"). A
holder of a Warrant is not permitted to exercise the warrant for a number of
shares of common stock greater than the number that would cause the aggregate
beneficial ownership of common stock of such holder and all persons affiliated
with such holder to exceed 4.99% of Galaxy's then outstanding common stock. Both
the number of Warrants and the exercise price of the Warrants are subject to
anti-dilution adjustments in the event of certain stock splits, stock
combinations and other similar transactions.

Based upon the sophistication and financial condition of the Investors, Galaxy
relied upon the exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933
contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D
promulgated under the Securities Act for the offer and sale of the Debentures
and Warrants.
