PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information and the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere
in this Prospectus.
OUR BUSINESS
Cascade Technologies Corp. ("Cascade", "We", "Us", "Our" or the "Company") was
incorporated under the laws of Wyoming on January 16th, 2004 as Akron
Technologies. We changed our name to Cascade Technologies on March 9, 2004.
The current executive office of Cascade is Suite # 358 - 255 Newport Drive Port
Moody BC, Canada. The telephone number is (604) 307-3011. The fax number is
(604) 461-9339. We maintain a website at www.cascadetechnologies.net. Any
information displayed on the website is not part of this prospectus.
We are a development stage company who plans to be a non-franchised stocking
distributor who buys and sells semiconductors, electro-mechanical and passive
components. Generally, a non-franchised stocking distributor is one who buys
and sells parts independent of the parts manufacturer. We are not an authorized
distributor for the parts we plan to sell nor do we plan to engage in a formal
franchise agreement with any manufacturer. As a non-franchised distributor, our
customers will be required to deal directly with us in relation to warranties
on defective parts and will not have any rights or warranties with the original
manufacturer. We have negotiated with our suppliers, however, warranty
agreements similar to those issued by the manufacturer for the return of
defective products by our clients. Therefore, we will be able to offer our
customers a similar warranty. The terms of the warranty given by our
suppliers, and the warranty we can subsequently issue to our customers is as
follows: a 1 year warranty, from the date of purchase, guarantying that the
parts are in good working condition and are free from any defects. This
warranty will only cover the cost of the components. The warranty does not
cover any labor costs associated with assembling the product or removing or
replacing the defective component. Furthermore, the warranty will not cover
parts damaged due to misuse or abuse by the purchaser. In October of
2005, we listed 20 different parts for sale on our website. We have not had any
sales to date and have had limited operations.
We feel that we are not a blank check company under Section (a)(2) of Rule 419
of the Securities Act of 1933. We have a specific business plan and plan of
operation, which is to sell semiconductors, electro-mechanical and passive
components. We have also taken steps to implement our business plan. On
November 15, 2004, we entered into an agreement with Frank Ludtke, an
experienced web developer based in Port Moody, Canada, to perform the initial
site development work. Furthermore, our President, Bruce Hollingshead made a
trip to China from April 14 2005 to April 22 2005 in order to interact with and
solicit potential suppliers. Our Officers and Directors have numerous years of
experience in the field of semiconductor and related component sales and are
fully capable of successfully implementing our business plan. We exist for the
purpose of pursuing the business plan set forth in the registration statement.
Our management believes that by becoming a reporting company, we have a better
opportunity to obtain the financing required to complete our plan of
operations. It is not our intention, nor have we indicated anywhere in this
registration statement, that our plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition
with an unidentified company or companies. As a result, we believe we are not
a blank check company under Section (a)(2) of Rule 419 of the Securities Act of
1933.

THE OFFERING
We are registering 930,000 shares of common stock held by certain selling
security holders of the Company. The Company will receive no proceeds from the
sales of these securities. There is currently no public market for our
securities. The selling security holders sell their shares at a price of $.10
until the shares are traded on a market or exchange, at which time they will be
sold at prevailing market prices. We have agreed to pay all estimated expenses
of registering the securities.
SECURITIES OUTSTANDING
As of June 29, we had 10,930,000 shares of common stock, no par value,
outstanding. Of those shares, 10,000,000 shares were owned by the Company's
officers and directors. Such officers' and directors' shares are restricted
stock and may only be resold in compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act
of 1933. As of June 29, 2005, there were 51 shareholders of record of our
common stock. We are registering 930,000 shares held by 48 shareholders for
resale.
There is currently no public market for our securities.
6
===============================================================================
RISK FACTORS
AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF
RISK. IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS, THE FOLLOWING
RISK FACTORS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED CAREFULLY IN EVALUATING CASCADE AND ITS
BUSINESS. ALL FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE INHERENTLY UNCERTAIN AS THEY ARE
BASED ON CURRENT EXPECTATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS CONCERNING FUTURE EVENTS OR
FUTURE PERFORMANCE OF CASCADE.
===============================================================================
BECAUSE WE HAVE A LIMITED HISTORY, YOU WILL HAVE LIMITED INFORMATION UPON WHICH
TO BASE YOUR INVESTMENT DECISION.
We were incorporated on January 16, 2004. We have a limited history upon which
to base any projection as to the likelihood that we will prove successful in
our current business plan, and thus there can be no assurance that we will
achieve profitable operations or even generate any operating revenues.
Moreover, we have no prior experience in operating a non-franchised stocking
distributor of semiconductors, electro-mechanical and passive components.
Potential investors should be aware that there is a substantial risk of failure
associated with new business ventures as a result of problems encountered in
connection with the commencement of new operations. These include, but are not
limited to, unanticipated problems relating to the marketing, the entry of new
competition and unknown or unexpected additional costs and expenses that may
exceed current estimates.
BECAUSE OUR AUDITOR HAS ISSUED A GOING CONCERN OPINION REGARDING OUR COMPANY,
THERE IS AN INCREASED RISK ASSOCIATED WITH AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMPANY.
We have incurred cumulative net losses of approximately $40,356 since our
inception. We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent
upon obtaining financing to continue operations. As of November 30, 2005
we had cash in the amount of $54,011. We have forecasted expenditures of
$170,000 for the next twelve months as set forth above. Therefore, we will
require financing in the approximate amount of $115,989 to pursue our
business plan for the next twelve months. Our ability to raise additional
financing is unknown. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for
the advancement or loan of funds. For these reasons, our auditors stated in
their report that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue
as a going concern. As a result, there is an increased risk that you could lose
the entire amount of your investment in our company.
7
WE ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO UNKNOWINGLY MARKETING COUNTERFEIT PARTS WHICH MAY EXPOSE
US TO FINANCIAL RISK.
The electronic component industry is fraught with dealers selling counterfeit
parts. We may unwillingly purchase counterfeit parts which we would not be able
to resell. Should this happen, the financial impact would be substantial as the
components in this industry have a high average selling price. Such occurrence
may, in fact, cause our business to fail.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO OBTAIN CERTAIN PARTS FOR RESALE, WHICH WOULD ULTIMATELY
LIMIT OUR SALES, SINCE MANUFACTURERS GENERALLY DISCOURAGE FRANCHISED
DISTRIBUTORS FROM SELLING THEIR PARTS TO NON-FRANCHISED DISTRIBUTORS
Generally, original equipment manufacturers discourage their franchised
distributors from selling parts to non-franchised distributors as they feel it
adds no value in the supply channel. As a non-franchised distributor, we may
find it difficult to obtain certain parts from franchised distributors. This
could ultimately have a substantial financial impact on our company since it
could severely limit the number of parts we are able to obtain for resale.
WE RELY HEAVILY ON OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS TO IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS PLAN,
AND A LOSS OF ANY OF THEM MAY SEVERELY IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE.
We depend on the services of our officers and directors. Our success depends on
the decisions made by our officer and directors based on their experience in
the industry. The loss of services of any of our officers and directors could
have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. There is no assurance that our officers will not leave us or
compete against us in the future, as we presently have no employment agreement
with any of the officers.
8
IT IS NOT ANTICIPATED THAT CASH DIVIDENDS WILL BE PAID OUT IN THE FORESEEABLE
FUTURE.
The Board of Directors does not anticipate paying cash dividends on the Common
Stock for the foreseeable future and intends to retain any future earnings to
finance the growth of Cascade's business. Payment of dividends, if any, will
depend, among other factors, on earnings, capital requirements, and the general
operating and financial condition of Cascade, and will be subject to legal
limitations on the payment of dividends out of paid-in capital.
IF A MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK DOES NOT DEVELOP, SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE
UNABLE TO SELL THEIR SHARES
A market for our common stock may never develop. We currently plan to apply for
listing of our common stock on the NASD over-the-counter bulletin board upon
the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms
a part. However, our shares may never be traded on the bulletin board, or, if
traded, a public market may not materialize. If our common stock is not traded
on the bulletin board or if a public market for our common stock does not
develop, investors may not be able to re-sell the shares of our common stock
that they have purchased and may lose all of their investment.
IF THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS SELL A LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES ALL AT ONCE OR IN
BLOCKS, THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR SHARES WOULD MOST LIKELY DECLINE.
The selling shareholders are offering 930,000 shares of our common stock
through this prospectus. Our common stock is presently not traded on any market
or securities exchange, but should a market develop, shares sold at a price
below the current market price at which the common stock is trading will cause
that market price to decline. Moreover, the offer or sale of a large number of
shares at any price may cause the market price to fall. The outstanding shares
of common stock covered by this prospectus represent approximately 9% of the
common shares outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.
YOUR RELIANCE ON INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS
In deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should rely on the
information contained in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to
provide you with information different from that contained in this prospectus.
The Selling Stockholders are offering to sell, and seeking offers to buy,
shares of common stock only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are
permitted. The information contained in this prospectus is accurate only as of
the date of this prospectus, regardless of the time of delivery of this
prospectus or of any sale of the securities. You must not consider that the
delivery of this prospectus or any sale of the securities covered by this
prospectus implies that there has been no change in our affairs since the date
of this prospectus or that the information contained in this prospectus is
current or complete as of any time after the date of this prospectus. However,
should we experience any material changes to our company, we will be required
to amend this prospectus to reflect the material changes.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties. We use words such as "anticipates", "believes", "plans",
"expects", "future", "intends" and similar expressions to identify these
forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus.
Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks described in
"Risk factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. Although we believe that the
expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we
cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking
statements after the date of this prospectus to conform these statements to
actual results, unless certain events or circumstances arise that would cause
information in this prospectus to be deemed materially misleading.
9
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered
through this prospectus by the selling shareholders.
DILUTION
The common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders is common stock that is
currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our
existing shareholders
10
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
The following table identifies the selling stockholders, lists any relationship
they have had with us since inception and provides information regarding the
shares the selling stockholders beneficially own and may sell. The estimated
securities owned after the offering assumes that all of the shares registered
under this prospectus are sold. However, we do not have any agreements or
understandings with the selling stockholders which would require them to sell
their shares.

The shares owned or to be owned by the selling shareholders are registered
under rule 415 of the general rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, concerning delayed and continuous offers and sales of
securities. In regard to the offer and sale of such shares, we have made
certain undertakings in Part II of the registration statement of which this
prospectus is part, by which, in general, we have committed to keep this
prospectus current during any period in which these persons make offers to sell
or sell the covered securities pursuant to rule 415.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering certain shareholders securities to sell on a delayed or
continuous basis. The selling shareholders may, from time to time, sell any or
all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading
facility on which the shares are traded. These sales may be at fixed or
negotiated prices.
Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares of common stock may be
sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.
The Selling Shareholders are advised to ensure that any underwriters, brokers,
dealers or agents effecting transactions on behalf of the Selling Shareholders
are registered to sell securities in all fifty states. In addition, in certain
states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless the shares have been
registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from
registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers that act in connection with the
sale of shares might be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of
Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by such
broker-dealers and any profit on the resale of shares sold by them while acting
as principals might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under
the Securities Act.
The Selling Shareholders should be aware that the anti-manipulation provisions
of Regulation M under the Exchange Act will apply to purchases and sales of
shares of common stock by the Selling Shareholders, and that there are
restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution
of the shares. Under Registration M, the Selling Shareholders or their agent
may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or
purchase, shares of our common stock while such Selling Shareholders are
distributing shares covered by this prospectus. Accordingly, except as noted
below, the selling shareholders are not permitted to cover short sales by
purchasing shares while the distribution is taking place. The Selling
Shareholders are advised that if a particular offer of common stock is to be
made on terms constituting a material change from the information set forth
above with respect to the Plan of Distribution, then, to the extent required, a
post-effective amendment to the accompanying registration statement must be
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We will pay all expenses incident to the registration, offering and sale of the
shares of common stock to the public hereunder other than commissions, fees and
discounts of underwriters, brokers, dealers and agents. We will receive no
proceed in connection with the sales of securities in this prospectus. We
estimate the costs for this offering to be approximately $31,000.00

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION.
The securities being offered are shares of common stock. The Articles of
Incorporation authorize the issuance of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, with
no par value. The holders of the Shares: (a) have equal ratable rights to
dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as, and if declared by
the Board of Directors of Cascade.; (b) are entitled to share ratably in all of
the assets of Cascade available for distribution upon winding up of the affairs
of Cascade; (c) do not have preemptive subscription or conversion rights and
there are no redemption or sinking fund applicable thereto; and (d) are
entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which
shareholders may vote at all meetings of shareholders. These securities do not
have any of the following rights: (a) cumulative or special voting rights; (b)
preemptive rights to purchase in new issues of Shares; (c) preference as to
dividends or interest; (d) preference upon liquidation; or (e) any other
special rights or preferences. In addition, the Shares are not convertible
into any other security. There are no restrictions on dividends under any loan
other financing arrangements or otherwise. See a copy of the Articles of
Incorporation, and amendments thereto, and Bylaws of Cascade., attached as
Exhibits, respectively, to this prospectus. As of the date of this prospectus,
Cascade has 10,930,000 Shares of common stock outstanding.
NON-CUMULATIVE VOTING.
The holders of shares of Common Stock of Cascade do not have cumulative voting
rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding
shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to
be elected, if they so choose. In such event, the holders of the remaining
shares will not be able to elect any of Cascades directors.
DIVIDENDS.
Cascade does not currently intend to pay cash dividends. Cascade's proposed
dividend policy is to make distributions of its revenues to its stockholders
when Cascades Board of Directors deems such distributions appropriate. Because
Cascade does not intend to make cash distributions, potential shareholders
would need to sell their shares to realize a return on their investment.
There can be no assurances of the projected values of the shares, nor can there
be any guarantees of the success of Cascade.
Stock dividends of Cascade stock will be made only when, in the judgment of
Cascade's Board of Directors, it is in the best interest of Cascade's
stockholders to do so. The Board of Directors will review, among other things,
the tax consequences of the distribution as well as the market effects of an
initial or broader distribution of such securities.
POSSIBLE ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF AUTHORIZED BUT UNISSUED STOCK.
Currently, Cascade's authorized but unissued capital stock consists of shares
of common stock. One effect of the existence of authorized but unissued
capital stock may be to enable the Board of Directors to render more difficult
or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of Cascade by means of a merger,
tender offer, proxy contest, or otherwise, and thereby to protect the
continuity of Cascade's management.

OUR BUSINESS
BUSINESS OVERVIEW.
Cascade Technologies Corp. was incorporated in Wyoming in January of 2004 as
Akron Technologies, Inc. In March of 2004, we changed our name to Cascade
Technologies Corp. We hope to develop an independent, non-franchised
stocking distributor of semiconductors, electro-mechanical and passive
components. We maintain a website at www.cascadetechnologies.net. Any
information displayed on the website is not part of this prospectus. In
October of 2005, we listed 20 different parts for sale on our website. We have
not had any sales to date and our operations have been limited.
THE COMPANY
It is our plan to develop an independent, non-franchised stocking distributor
who buys and sells semiconductors, electro-mechanical and passive components.
We plan to service original equipment manufacturers ("OEM's) and maintenance,
repair and overhaul customers ("MRO's") in emerging markets around the world
including North America, Europe and Asia. Our officers and directors have a
combined 40 years of sales expertise in the semiconductor industry. Our
business concept is based on the following principles:
* Knowing who produces or has produced which parts
* Identifying where which parts are in stock
* Negotiating market prices worldwide
* a firm contract behind every order
* 24-hour delivery, including just in time
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
In general terms the independent distributor, commonly referred to as a broker,
have been competing with franchised distributors for decades for business. The
global semiconductor industry is estimated at $213 billion. Semiconductor
Industry Association November 2005 Forecast Summary. (See Exhibit 99.1)
A copy of this biannual forecast can also be obtained by contacting the
Semiconductor Industry Association by mail at 181 Metro Drive, Suite 450, San
Jose CA, 95110, by phone at 408-436-6600, or by emailing them at mailbox@sia-
online.org.
While the franchised distributor has established pricing with the
manufactures that they represent, it may not always be the best pricing.
Components from manufacturers are often priced differently in different
geographic regions. However, in North America, components are generally
similarly priced. The only exception to this is occasionally components
may be priced a bit lower in Northern California due to the fact that some of
the largest consumers of certain of these specific parts are headquartered in
the San Francisco Bay area. The price differences generally fluctuate
between North America, Asia, and Europe, with North America generally being the
most expensive.
21
Many local franchised distributors may be given a cost from a manufacturer in 1
geographic region that might be higher than in a different geographic region
for the same part. Yet the franchised distributors contract with the
manufacturer does not allow him take inventory from the geographic region where
the cost is cheapest and move it to his warehouse where he may be bound with a
higher cost. It is managements belief that 95% of the OEMS buying these parts
do not source parts globally, rather they continue to pay the market price for
the part in there own geographic regions, and our missing out on cost savings
if they source there parts globally. What are some reasons why these OEMS don't
source globally? Management believes many OEM's prefer to deal with North
American sources as they don't want to deal with the time differences of
dealing with European and Asian sources. Also, payment terms in Asia often
differ with those in North America. North America vendors often allow for 45
day payment terms, while Asian vendors may be asked to pay in advance for its
parts. Management also believes there is also an ongoing concern of counterfeit
parts that are surfacing in Asia. Management believes that these OEMS would be
willing to deal with an independent distributor in North America who procures
parts from Europe and Asia and offers them terms, as these brokers are the ones
taking the risk of potentially procuring counterfeit or used parts.
As an independent distributor, we will be forced to face the risks associated
in dealing with Asian and European sources. We therefore plan on taking steps
to manage those risks. Most Asian suppliers require payment before shipping or
require a deposit at the time of the order. We have verbal agreements, however,
with 6 different suppliers in Asia so that we will be able to obtain 30 day
payment terms with no required deposit. There is no guarantee, however, that we
will be able to obtain these favorable terms with other suppliers. Furthermore,
as our agreements are verbal, there is no guarantee that these suppliers will
honor our agreements. Should we be unable to obtain these terms, we may be
forced to pay the deposit ourselves. This may result in an 8 -10 week period
where our deposit will be tied up.
We will also have to deal with the risks involved with purchasing counterfeit
parts. We plan on implementing steps to manage this risk. First, we plan on
buying a vast majority of our parts directly from the manufacturer or a
franchised distributor. We believe this will greatly lessen, if not eliminate,
the risk of purchasing counterfeit parts. We also plan on taking steps to
insure that other suppliers in our supply chain have purchased directly from
manufacturers or from franchised distributors. For those suppliers that are
not the manufacturer or a franchised distributor, we plan on negotiating 30
days terms with the supplier so that we have an opportunity to view and inspect
the parts prior to purchase, and in some cases, allow our customers to install
the parts prior to payment. Despite implementing these steps, we may still
unwillingly purchase counterfeit parts which we would not be able to resell.
Should this happen, the financial impact would be substantial as the components
in this industry have a high average selling price. Such occurrence may, in
fact, cause our business to fail.
As a non-franchised distributor, our customers will have no rights or
warranties with the original manufacturer and will be required to deal directly
with us on all warranty issues. We plan on having agreements with all our
suppliers in regards to the return of defective parts that we plan on
purchasing and reselling to our customers. This will allow us to issue a
warranty on the products we plan on selling.
22
OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
We hope to provide a service of sourcing and provide electronic components with
a cost and delivery that meets our client's budgets and deliveries. Currently
we have no clients and no revenue. We intend on targeting mid sized original
equipment manufacturers "OEM's" who spend between 1 to10 million dollars on
components a year We plan to advertise our services on a website named Broker
Forum (www.brokerforum.com) and Chip Source(www.chipsource.com) in order to
attract customers. A potential customer would start the process by calling or
e-mailing a specific requirement for a part or parts which includes a quantity
and target price. We would then consult a database of suppliers. At this time
we do not have a completed database, but we are in the process of completing
one and hope to have one up and running by the end of 2005. Upon consulting the
database, we would contact multiple suppliers to get the best price, delivery,
and quote for the customer. Assuming the customer accepts our quote, we would
ask for a deposit in advance, ranging from 10% to 100%, based upon the credit
risk. Upon receipt of the deposit, we would then order the parts from the
supplier. We hope to establish credit with the suppliers we have in our
database in order to expedite the process. Upon receipt of the parts at our
office, we would then ship them to our customer. We plan on including a profit
margin on these sales based upon the specifics of the individual order,
including the size of the order, the cost of the order, and the general
availability of the parts
23
We intend to sell products from over 100 different manufacturers
around the world. Some of these manufacturers include Texas Instruments, Intel,
Samsung, Hyundai, NEC, Toshiba Electronics, Sharp Electronics, Kemet
Electronics, and other manufactures, including top 10 ranked semiconductor
companies. We do not plan on purchasing these products directly from the
manufacturers, but from franchised and non-franchised distributors. We may,
from time to time, purchas e excess inventory from
different OEM's who will sell parts at a discount from time to time. We have
no immediate plans, however, to purchase parts from OEM's at this discounted
price.
The manufacturers we intend to source products from generally have 2 or 3
authorized franchised distributors per continent. In some cases, these
distributors are global companies and have worldwide franchises from these
manufacturers. In Asia, where the market is much more competitive, a
manufacturer may have 5-6 franchised distributors for there products.
Generally, these manufacturers try to discourage their franchised distributors
from selling parts to non-franchised distributors as they feel it adds no value
in the supply channel. Ultimately, however, they cannot control who the
distributor decides to sell the parts to. Most of the time, the franchised
distributor will sell to non-franchised distributors even though they are aware
that his non-franchised distributor will turn around and sell the parts for a
profit. At the present time, we believe we have secured relationships with 6
potential suppliers for future sales. Suppliers located in China include Jetel
Electronics Co., Ltd., Henan Jinque Electric Co., Ltd., Xinghangyuan Intl Co.,
Ltd., and Mingwell Electronics. Suppliers in Hong Kong include Universal Canal
Co., Ltd. and ASD Electronics. We have established verbal agreements with these
suppliers in regards to warranty issues, shipping costs and issues, estimated
response times on quotes for parts, and pricing issues. All agreements with
suppliers are verbal. Though we fully believe these suppliers will honor the
agreements, there is no guarantee that they will, nor is there any way for us
to enforce such agreements. For all suppliers we have negotiated the following
terms in regards to the warranties which we can subsequently issue to our
customers: a 1 year warranty, from the date of purchase, guarantying that the
parts are in good working condition and are free from any defects. This
warranty will only cover the cost of the components. The warranty does not
cover any labor costs associated with assembling the product or removing or
replacing the defective component. Furthermore, the warranty will not cover
parts damaged due to misuse or abuse by the purchaser. This warranty is similar
to those issued by franchised distributors and original manufacturers. As we
are issuing the warranty directly, there is a chance that the supplier will
refuse or be unable to honor the warranty. Should that happen, we will bear the
risk and be responsible for the replacements costs of the defective parts in
their entirety. In regards to shipping costs, Cascade will be responsible for
paying the costs to ship the purchased products to its Canadian office with all
six suppliers. Cascade has also negotiated pricing terms for certain parts with
all the suppliers. Henan Jinque Electric Co., Ltd and Xinghangyuan Intl Co.,
Ltd. have agreed to pricing terms on certain parts for a period of 3 months.
Jetel Electronics Co., Ltd., Mingwell Electronics, Universal Canal Co., Ltd.
and ASD Electronics have agreed to pricing terms on certain parts for a period
of 6 months. At the expiration of the agreed upon time periods, the pricing
terms are renegotiated. These pricing terms also include certain discounts for
larger orders. All six suppliers have also agreed to a 24 to 48 hour response
time on quotes for prices on parts that were not previously agreed upon.
We also plan on obtaining for inventory certain products if we can obtain those
products at a discount to the market value. We may also purchase parts for
inventory if we have retained a customer that has committed to place a 3-6
month scheduled order with us.
We have actually begun preliminary operations and have listed 20 different
parts for sale on our website (www.cascadetechnologies.net). We have already
negotiated the prices of these parts from our suppliers. The quantities we have
advertised are readily available to us for resale. At the present time, we have
decided not to list a specific price for these parts, and plan on negotiating a
fee with a potential customer based on the quantity of parts the customer is
requesting. We feel this will allow us to test the market prior to launching a
full advertising and sales campaign.
The following is a table of the top 10 worldwide semiconductor companies.
Though we plan to sell products manufactured by these companies, we will not
purchase the products directly from these companies. We plan to purchase the
products from franchised and non-franchised distributors.

MARKETING
Cascade intends to focus on marketing our services through various channels. We
intend to advertise in Electronic Buyers News (EBN) which is a weekly
publication that goes out to the Electronics buying community throughout North
America. In addition we intend to advertise our own inventory and a
comprehensive list of inventory that it has access to through 3 major global
web sites that are used to source components. We also intend to take out
advertisements in major electronics magazines in Europe and Asia and exhibit in
4 major trade shows a year, 2 in North America, 1 in Europe and 1 in Asia. The
advertisement on web sites is specifically designed to attract customers from
Europe and Asia. We also plan on establishing an 800 number in the next month
to aid us in the retention of new customers.
COMPETITION
We will face strong competition in the area of distribution of semiconductors,
electro-mechanical and passive components. Most of our competitors are in a far
better position than we are. Some of the largest franchised distributors
include Arrow Electronics based in New York and Avnet Electronics based in
Phoenix. Arrow Electronics and Avent Electronics are multi billion dollar
companies with offices all around the world and are franchised distributors for
over 100 product lines. Some of the largest independent private brokers
include America II based in Florida. DERF Electronics based out of New York
and Harry Krantz Company based out of New York. Our competitors are far more
established in the industry and have access to far greater resources.
25
GENERAL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR BUSINESS
Counterfeit parts
- ---------------------
The electronic component industry is fraught with dealers selling counterfeit
parts. We may unwillingly purchase counterfeit parts which we would not be able
to resell. Should this happen, the financial impact would be substantial as the
components in this industry have a high average selling price. Such occurrence
may, in fact, cause our business to fail.
Doing Business on Credit
- --------------------------------
As part of our business, we plan to occasionally purchase certain parts for
inventory. Should we do this, we will be exposed to the downward fluctuation of
the price of these parts. Such occurrence may have a substantial impact on our
financial condition, depending on the number of parts purchased and the drop in
price.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
Compliance with EAR
- ----------------------------
As a majority of our purchases and sales will be subject to export, we will be
subject to U.S export administration regulations (also known as EAR). The EAR
is issued by the US Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security
(BIS) under law relating to the control of certain exports, re-exports and
activities. The EAR has been designed primarily to implements the Export
Administration Act of 1979. The core of the export control provisions of the
EAR concerns exports from the United States. Commodities, software and
technology that have been exported from the United States are generally subject
to the EAR with respect to re-export. The export control provisions of the EAR
are intended to serve the National Security, foreign policy , nonproliferation,
and short supply interests of the United States and in some cases to carry out
its international obligations. Some controls are designed to restrict access to
dual use items by countries or persons that might apply such items to uses
inimical to US interests, These include controls designed to stem the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and controls designed to limit the
military and terrorism support capability or certain countries
26
In order to export certain items, you are required to obtain a license.
Licenses can be applied for at the Bureau of Industry and Security ("BIS") U.S
Department of Commerce. However, the ability to successfully obtain an export
license is not guaranteed and is dependent upon various factors, including the
country of export and the end use of the product. A majority of the rules and
regulations involving the EAR can be found on their website at
http://www.bxa.doc.gov/.
We believe that approximately 1-2 percent of products requested from our
customers may require a license. At this time, however, we plan on turning down
any orders that require a license for export as we feel that filling such
orders is cost prohibitive and time consuming. Most of the components that
require a license to export are military in nature. We do not plan on
marketing to, or soliciting orders from, foreign governments or military
organizations that would purchase such components. We may receive requests for
certain components that are deemed "dual use" components. Dual use components
are those parts that have both a commercial as well as a military use. An
example of dual use components include those parts used in radar systems and
guidance systems. These parts may be restricted for export and require a
license. We do not expect the request for these components to be more than 1-2
percent of our total opportunities. At this time, we do not plan on filling
these orders. We believe our decision not to source products that require a
license will have minimal impact on our business
27
Environmental Regulation
- ----------------------------------
We believe that there are future environmental regulations that will be in
place by July 2006 that may impact our business. Listed below is a brief
summary of the upcoming environmental regulations. The majority of these
regulations concern the use of lead in the production of electronic components
and systems.
The following key regulatory activities are driving the move to lead free parts
- The European Council Directive on "Waste from Electrical and
Electronic Equipment" (WEEE) proposes restrictions on the use of lead
among other materials in electronic products. On October 10, 2002 the
European Council and European Parliament reached an agreement to set a
target date of July 1, 2006 for a ban on hazardous materials including
lead.
- In addition to the Environmental Directorate's two proposals, the
Enterprise Directorate has released a draft for a new directive
concerning Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE). The Enterprise
Directorate believes this document offers a new approach in addressing
materials currently used in electrical and electronic equipment that the
WEEE might consider banning.
- The Japanese Ministry of International Trade has set the following
targets:
- In April of 1997, the amount of Pb used for automobiles, except
for batteries:
- End of 2000, be reduced "to half compared to 1996 by the
end of 2000".
- End of 2005, be reduced to one third.
- Introduced legislation promoting the recycling of household
electric appliances, to reclaim all Pb used starting in 2001.
- Household electric appliances manufacturers are already
working towards the creation of completely Pb Phase-out
products.
- U.S. EPA announced on July 29, 1999, a proposed rule to drastically
lower reporting thresholds for Pb and Pb compounds to the Toxic Release
Inventory from 10,000 lbs. to 10 lbs.
These regulations may impact us should we purchase lead product that we are
unable to sell prior to the implementation of these regulations.

PLAN OF OPERATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. Actual results and events
could differ materially from those projected, anticipated, or implicit, in the
forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors set forth below and
elsewhere in this report. With the exception of historical matters, the matters
discussed herein are forward looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the
date of introduction or completion of our products, projections concerning
operations and available cash flow. Our actual results could differ materially
from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview
- -------------
Cascade Technologies Corp. is a development stage Company, incorporated in
January of 2004. To date, we have had no operations or revenue. Our activities
have been limited to organizational activities since inception. We hope to
develop an independent, non-franchised stocking distributor of semiconductors,
electro-mechanical and passive components.
Plan of Operations
- ------------------------
Since inception, our activities have been limited to organizational activities.
In July of 2004, we conducted a private offering and raised $93,000 to help us
launching our business. To date, these monies have been used for legal and
accounting costs associated with this registration, administrative costs, and
costs associated with the creation of a web site and costs associated with
creating supplier network. At the present time, we have approximately
$54,011 in reserve for future activities.
To date, we have established a website and have listed 20 products for sale. To
date, we have made no sales. Furthermore, our President has made 1 trip to
China in the past year in order to interact with and solicit potential
suppliers. We feel we have secured relationships with 6 potential suppliers for
future sales. We have established verbal agreements with these 6 suppliers in
regards to warranty issues, shipping costs and issues, estimated response times
on quotes for parts, and potential price discounts should our sales reach
certain milestones. At this time, all agreements with suppliers are verbal.
Though we fully believe these suppliers will honor our agreements, there is no
guarantee that they will.
1) We have completed negotiations with certain suppliers for the sale of 20
common parts and currently have these parts advertised for sale on our
website. We also plan on advertising these parts on an industry website
called Broker Forum www.brokerforum.com. Broker Forum is a website that
many buyers and sellers visit. Many sellers of parts advertise the inventory
or availability of parts through Broker Forum and their own websites. We
believe the estimated cost to advertise these products will be $1000. At
this time, we are currently testing the market with the sale of these 20
products on our website and hope to list with Broker Forum within the next 2
months.
31
2) In late February or early March of 2006, we plan to purchase approximately
$20,000 worth of inventory for future sale. This will coincide with our full
scale add campaign described below. We hope review the brief sales history
of our products to date, prior to purchasing this inventory.
3) In late February or early March of 2006, we plan to launch a full scale add
program in Electronic Buyers News in both America and South East Asia.
These adds will include a condensed version of our existing inventory as
well as monthly specials. We estimate the monthly costs to be approximatley
$500- $1000.
4) In March of 2006, we plan to hire a full time sales person to cover North
America accounts and Europe estimated base salary is 40k/ year with a
commission package of 1 percent of the value of the sale excluding all
taxes.
5) By March of 2006 at the latest, we plan to establish a fulltime office
which we estimate to cost approximately $2000 per month.
6) We plan on attending the Nepcon China show from April 4-7 2006 and the
Electronics and Components fair in Hong Kong from April 15-18 2006. This
will be completed in one trip. Information about both shows can be found at
the following websiteshttp://www.nepconchina.com/s_index.asp
http://tradeshow.globalsources.com/TRADESHW/HONGKONG-ELECTRONICS.HTM. This
trip will cost approximately $5000 and will work on expanding our supplier
base in China.
In the next 12 months, we also anticipate that we will expend approximately
$12,000 in freight and $5000 to continually update our central database of
suppliers as we continue to grow. Furthermore, we anticipate our accounting,
and legal costs to be $45,000 for the next 12 months.
Our costs over the next 12 months are expected to be approximately $170,000. At
this time, we do not have monies to cover these costs. The completion of our
business plan for the next twelve months is contingent upon us obtaining
additional financing. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to
raise such needed financing. If we do not raise the sufficient funds necessary
to support our plan of operation, we may be forced to severely curtail, or even
completely cease our operations. At this time, we do not have any source of
funding nor have we have we conducted any research in regards to obtaining this
funding.
32
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated
financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we
evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment of long-lived
assets, any potential losses from pending litigation and deferred tax asset or
liability. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the
above-described items, are reasonable.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDERS MATTERS
Lack of Prior Public Market and Possible Volatility of Stock Price
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock
and there can be no assurance that a significant public market for the Common
Stock will develop or be sustained after the Offering. Cascade will seek a
Market Maker to apply to have Cascade's Common Stock included for quotation in
the over- the-counter market on the OTC Bulletin Board or quotation. There can
be no assurance that the Market Maker's activities will be continued, or that
inactive trading market for Cascade's Common Stock will be developed or
maintained. The future market price of the Common Stock may be highly volatile.
There have been periods of extreme fluctuation in the stock market that, in
many cases, were unrelated to the operating performance of, or announcements
concerning the issuers of the affected securities. Securities of issuers
having relatively limited capitalization, limited market makers or securities
recently issued in a public offering are particularly susceptible to
fluctuations based on short-term trading strategies of certain investors.
Although the initial public offering price of the Common Stock reflects
Cascade's assessment of current market conditions, there can be no assurance
that such price will be maintained following the Offering.
Designated Security/Penny Stock
- -----------------------------------------
Following completion of this Offering, and upon successful listing of the
Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, if the bid price for Cascade's Common
Stock is below $5.00 per share, Cascade's Common Stock would be subject to
special sales practice requirements applicable to "designated securities" and
"penny stock." These additional sales practice requirements are imposed on
broker-dealers who sell the Common Stock to persons other than established
customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in
excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or
annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse). For
transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special
suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's
written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. These rules may be
anticipated to affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell Cascade's Common
Stock, which may in turn be anticipated to have an adverse impact on the market
price for the Common Stock and the ability of purchasers to sell their shares
in the secondary market.
In the likely event that our shares are deemed to be "penny stocks", our shares
will be covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 promulgated thereunder, which impose
additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell our
securities to persons other than established customers and accredited
investors. Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful any broker-dealer transactions in
pennystocks unless the broker-dealer has first provided to the customer a
standardized disclosure document. Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a
broker-dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker-dealer
first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer the current quotation
prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.
Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker-dealers from completing penny stock transactions
for a customer unless the broker-dealer first discloses to the customer the
amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny
stock transaction. Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker-dealer executing a penny
stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its
customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the
sales person's compensation.
33
Shares Eligible for Future Sale
- ------------------------------------
There are currently 52 shareholders of our securities. Upon effectiveness of
this registration statement, there will be 930,000 shares of common stock being
registered for resale in this offering that will be freely tradable without
restrictions under the Securities
Act of 1933.
Cascade has previously issued shares of Common Stock that constitute
"restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 adopted under the
Securities Act. Subject to certain restrictions, such securities may generally
be sold in limited amounts one year after their acquisition. Cascade issued
10,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Cascade's founders in connection with its
organization. The shares of Common Stock issued to Cascade's founders are
restricted as to resale under Rule 144.
34
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT
LIABILITIES
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been
advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the company of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with
the securities being registered, the company will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Securities Act, and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
The legality of the securities offered hereby has been passed upon by The Law
Offices of Adam U. Shaikh, Chtd., Las Vegas, Nevada. Certain of the financial
statements of Cascade included in these prospectuses and elsewhere in the
registration statement, to the extent and for the periods indicated in their
reports, have been audited by De Joya Griffith & Company, Certified Public
Accountants, (formerly De Joya and Company, Certified Public Accountants) 2425
W. Horizon Ridge Parkway, Henderson, Nevada 89052, independent certified public
accountants, whose reports thereon appear elsewhere herein and in the
registration statement.

Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Cascade Technologies, Corp.(A
Development Stage Company) as of August 31, 2005 and the related statements of

accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall consolidated 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 Cascade Technologies, Corp. (A

CASCADE TECHNOLOGIES, CORP.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, HISTORY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES
Description of business - Cascade Technologies, CORP., (referred to as the
"Company") is currently an entity with no operations.
History - Akron Technologies, the Company's former name, was incorporated in
Wyoming on January 16, 2004. The name was changed to Cascade Technologies
on March 9, 2004.
A Development Stage Company - The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared in a accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 7"According and Reporting by Development-Stage Enterprises".
A development-stage enterprise is one in which planned principal operations
have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no
significant revenues there from.
Definition of fiscal year - The Company's fiscal year end is August 31.
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Fair value of financial instruments - Financial accounting standards
Statement No. 107, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments",
requires the Company to disclose, when reasonably attainable, the fair
market values of its assets and liabilities which are deemed to be financial
instruments. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the
Company's financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the
short-term nature.
Earnings (loss) per share - Basic earnings (loss) per share exclude any
dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Basic
earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of
outstanding common stocks during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per
share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and common
stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock
equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is
antidilutive.
Income taxes - The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, which requires
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases and tax credit carry-forwards. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
date.
New accounting pronouncements - In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.
151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151
amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify
the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight,
handing costs, and spoilage. This statement requires that those items be
recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the
criterion of "so abnormal" which was the criterion specified in ARB No. 43.
In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production
overheads to the cost of production be based on normal capacity of the
production facilities. This pronouncement is effective for the Company
beginning October 1, 2005. The Company does not believe adopting this new
standard will have a significant impact to its financial statements.
F-5
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES (continued)
New accounting pronouncements (continued)
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004). Share-Based
Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows.
Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach
described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based
payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be
recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma
disclosure is no longer an alternative. The new standard will be effective
for the Company in the first interim or annual reporting period beginning
after December 15, 2005. The Company expects the adoption of this standard
will have a material impact on its financial statements assuming employee
stock options are granted in the future.
2. LOANS DUE TO SHAREHOLDERS
As of August 31, 2005, the company had unsecured and non-interest bearing
demand loans due to a shareholder of the company in the amount of $289.
3. CAPITAL STOCK TRANSACTIONS
Common stock - The authorized common stock is 50,000,000 shares with no par
value. As of August 31, 2005, the Company has 10,930,000 shares of common
stock issued and outstanding.
In January 2004, the company issued 10,000,000 shares of its common stock to
its directors in exchange for services totaling $1,000.
During the fiscal year ended 2004, the company issued a total of 930,000
shares of its common stock to 48 individuals in exchange for $93,000 in
cash.

PART II - INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Wyoming Corporation Laws and certain provisions of Cascade's Bylaws, under
certain circumstances, provide for indemnification of our officers, directors
and controlling persons against liabilities that they may incur in such
capacities. A summary of the circumstances in which such indemnification is
provided for is contained herein.
The specific statute, charter provision, bylaw, contract, or other arrangement
which any controlling person, director or officers of the Registrant is insured
or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he or she may incur in
their capacity as such, is as follows:
Wyoming Statute
- ----------------------
Pursuant to Wyoming statute 17-16-851
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, a corporation may indemnify
an individual who is a party to a proceeding because he is a director against
liability incurred in the proceeding if:
(i) He conducted himself in good faith; and
(ii) He reasonably believed that his conduct was in or at least not opposed to
the corporation's best interests; and
(iii) In the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful; or
(iv) He engaged in conduct for which broader indemnification has been made
permissible or obligatory under a provision of the articles of incorporation,
as authorized by W.S. 17-16-202(b)(v).
(b) A director's conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a
purpose he reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in
and beneficiaries of the plan is conduct that satisfies the requirement of
paragraph (a)(ii) of this section.
(c) The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not, of
itself, determinative that the director did not meet the standard of conduct
described in this section.
(d) Unless ordered by a court under W.S. 17-16-854(a)(iii) a corporation may
not indemnify a director under this section:
(i) In connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation,
except for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding if it
is determined that the director has met the standard of conduct under
subsection (a) of this section; or
(ii) In connection with any proceeding with respect to conduct for which he
was adjudged liable on the basis that he received a financial benefit to which
he was not entitled.
17-16-852. Mandatory indemnification.
A corporation shall indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the
merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party
because he was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses
incurred by him in connection with the proceeding.
Pursuant to Wyoming Statute 17-16-856.
(a) A corporation may indemnify and advance expenses under this
subarticle to an officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding
because he is an officer of the corporation:
(i) To the same extent as a director; and
(ii) If he is an officer but not a director, to such further extent as
may be provided by the articles of incorporation, the bylaws, a resolution of
the board of directors or contract, except for:
(A) Liability in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of
the corporation other than for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with
the proceeding; or
(B) Liability arising out of conduct that constitutes:
(I) Receipt by him of a financial benefit to which he is not
entitled;
(II) An intentional infliction of harm on the corporation or the
shareholders; or
(III) An intentional violation of criminal law.
(iii) A corporation may also indemnify and advance expenses to a
current or former officer, employee or agent who is not a director to the
extent, consistent with public policy, that may be provided by its articles of
incorporation, bylaws, general or specific action of its board of directors or
contract.
(b) The provisions of paragraph (a)(ii) of this section shall apply to an
officer who is also a director if the basis on which he is made a party to the
proceeding is an act or omission solely as an officer.
(c) An officer of a corporation who is not a director is entitled to
mandatory indemnification under W.S. 17-16-852, and may apply to a court under
W.S. 17-16-854 for indemnification or an advance for expenses, in each case to
the same extent to which a director may be entitled to indemnification or
advance for expenses under those provisions.
By-Laws
- -------------
Section 47 of the Bylaws of Cascade states as follows:
47. The corporation may at its option, to the maximum extent permitted by law
and by the articles, indemnify each of its agents against expenses, judgments,
fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with any proceeding arising by reason of the fact that such person
