INFORMATION ABOUT PRB GAS TRANSPORTATION, INC.

 

Introduction

 

Description of Business

 

PRB Gas Transportation, Inc. (“PRB”, “we” or “our”) is an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of natural gas. In addition, we provide gas gathering, processing and compression services for properties we operate and for third party producers. We also provide management services by operating certain properties and by providing technical and administrative support for those properties. PRB was formed in December 2003, and is incorporated in the State of Nevada. On April 12, 2005, our common shares began trading on the American Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “PRB.” Since our inception, PRB has conducted its activities in the Rocky Mountain states.

 

Recent Developments

 

During the first quarter 2006, we raised $21.965 million in cash, before expenses, in a private placement of our convertible subordinated notes. We intend to use these funds for our capital and acquisition programs. The common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible subordinated notes is being registered hereby on behalf of the selling stockholders.

 

On January 1, 2006, we purchased a gas gathering system from Storm Cat Energy Corporation for $1.0 million. We also entered into a related gas gathering and compression services agreement with Storm Cat covering 6,600 acres in the Recluse area of Wyoming.

 

On January 11, 2006, we agreed to gather gas for the Termo Company and as part of this understanding we paid $83 thousand for a 9.27% working interest in the development of approximately 3,400 existing net acres in the Recluse area of Wyoming and an interest in any future lease acquisitions in or around the existing leases. In addition, Termo designated us as its preferred gatherer for its Homestead Project in the Recluse area.

 

On February 1, 2006, we acquired a 15% working interest in leaseholds underlying the GAP gas gathering system and we plan to propose a drilling program on these properties during 2006. The leaseholds cover five townships and a total of approximately 2,200 net acres.

 

On March 1, 2006, we acquired a high pressure natural gas gathering line from Clear Creek Natural Gas, LLC for $453 thousand. The newly acquired 6.5 miles of 6 and 8-inch steel pipe ties into the gathering and compression assets we purchased on January 1, 2006 from Storm Cat. We will deliver gas from this line to the Thunder Creek interstate pipeline system.

 

In March 2006, we elected to terminate our Farm-In and Development Agreement and Management Services Agreement with Enterra Energy Trust and its wholly-owned subsidiary Rocky Mountain Gas (“Rocky Mountain Gas”). We agreed to continue to operate Rocky Mountain Gas’ properties and provide management services for at least 60 days from the termination date. We also agreed to continue to drill certain wells that had previously been approved by the State of Wyoming and Rocky Mountain Gas. We plan to operate these wells as provided by the terms of the Operating Agreement between us and Rocky Mountain Gas.

 

In March 2006, we notified our customers served by our TOP gas gathering system that we were raising our rates to cover our cash costs plus 15% for a 2 month period. We also advised these customers that we were planning to shut down the TOP system after the two month period has elapsed. We plan to

 

3



 

dismantle the TOP system at that time and we plan to sell the equipment not required for our other operating activities.

 

On May 12, 2006, we signed a definitive Purchase and Sale Agreement to purchase approximately 70 miles of gathering lines located in the Recluse area of Wyoming’s Powder River Basin. We plan to complete this transaction by the end of June 2006, subject to due diligence that will include pipeline integrity testing and an environmental review. Also included is a gas gathering agreement in respect to one producer.

 

On May 18, 2006, we signed a definitive agreement to purchase approximately 600 coal-bed methane wells producing approximately 3,000,000 cubic feet per day on 29,500 acres in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin. Currently, we are the gas gatherer for the majority of this production. Additionally, the 29,500 acres are adjacent to our pilot program to the Moyer coal seam in the Gap field of Wyoming’s Powder River Basin. The acreage covers the fields of Gap, Bonepile and Bell Knob south of Gillette, Wyoming. Under the terms of the agreement, closing should take place on or before June 30, 2006, unless our due diligence uncovers title or environmental issues which would allow us to withdraw from the agreement.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our common stock is subject to various risks. These risks should be considered carefully with the information provided elsewhere in this prospectus before deciding to invest. In addition, please read “special note regarding forward-looking statements” in this prospectus where we describe additional uncertainties associated with our business and the forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. We may update these risks in our filings with the SEC.

 

We have incurred significant losses. Our future performance is difficult to evaluate because we have a limited operating history.

 

Our operations commenced in January 2004. We have incurred significant losses in the past. We incurred net losses for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 of $4.625 million and $651 thousand, respectively. Net loss for the three months ending March 31, 2006 was $1.494 million, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $6.770 million at March 31, 2006. There can be no assurance of when, if ever, we will be profitable or be able to maintain profitability.

 

Our convertible subordinated notes include interest accruing at ten percent per annum and are collateralized by a significant portion of our assets, which could result in a loss of these assets if we become in default under the notes.

 

Our first quarter 2006 issuance of approximately $22 million of convertible subordinated notes requires quarterly interest payments of approximately $550 thousand and these notes are collateralized by a significant portion of our assets. We may not be able to fully service these interest payments in the future or repay the principal, which is due during the third quarter of 2008. If we default upon the convertible subordinated notes, a significant portion of our assets could be foreclosed upon and lost.

 

Restrictions in credit agreements may prevent us from engaging in some beneficial transactions.

 

As we expand and require capital, we intend to enter into credit agreements with financial institutions to fund a portion of our capital requirements. To obtain funds under credit agreements we may be required to accept operating restrictions which would impair or prevent us from entering into transactions we deem to be beneficial for our future growth.

We depend on our chief executive and chief operating officers for critical management decisions and industry contacts and do not have employment agreements with them or insurance on their lives.

 

We do not have employment agreements with our chief executive officer and chief operating officer and do not carry key person insurance on their lives. The loss of the services of either of these executive officers, through incapacity or otherwise, would require us to seek and retain other qualified personnel.

 

A significant decrease in the supply of natural gas from our gas gathering customers could reduce our revenue and earnings.

 

Investments by our gas gathering customers in the maintenance of existing wells and the further development of their reserves will affect their production rates and the volume of gas we gather. Drilling activity generally decreases as gas prices decrease. We have no control over our customers’ level of drilling activity, the amount of reserves underlying their wells and the rate at which their production from a well will decline. Drilling activity of our customers is affected by, among other things, prevailing and projected energy prices, demand for hydrocarbons, geological considerations, governmental regulation and the availability and cost of capital. A significant decrease in the supply of natural gas we are gathering would reduce our revenue and earnings.

 

In 2005, we were advised by our auditor of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the correction of which will result in increased cost to us.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm has advised our management and Board of Directors that there were significant deficiencies and a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006. Management believes that until the significant deficiencies are corrected, a potential misapplication of generally accepted accounting principles or potential misstatement in our financial statements could occur. Enhancing our internal controls to correct these deficiencies has and will result in increased costs to us. The identified significant deficiencies relate to the preparation and review of financial statements and disclosures, identification and resolution of complex accounting issues, segregation of duties, accounting policies and procedures, information technology systems, and revenue recognition. Management and our auditors determined that these significant deficiencies, in the aggregate, constitute a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, our staffing levels were inadequate to facilitate the design, implementation and maintenance of an effective system of internal control.

 

Our operations are subject to operational hazards and unforeseen interruptions for which we may be inadequately insured, resulting in losses to us.

 

Our operations, both gathering and processing and exploration and production, are subject to operational hazards and unforeseen interruptions such as natural disasters, adverse weather, accidents, fires, explosions, hazardous materials releases, mechanical failures and other events beyond our control. These events might result in a loss of equipment or life, injury or extensive property damage, as well as an interruption in our operations. We may not be able to maintain or obtain insurance of the type and amount we desire at reasonable rates. In some instances, certain insurance could become unavailable or available only for reduced amounts of coverage. If we were to incur a significant liability for which we were not fully insured, it would result in losses that would reduce our earnings.

 

Future oil and gas price declines or unsuccessful exploration efforts may result in write-downs of our exploration and production asset carrying values, thereby reducing our assets and net worth.

 

We follow the successful efforts method of accounting for our oil and gas properties. All property acquisition costs and costs of exploratory and development wells are capitalized when incurred, pending the determination of whether proved reserves have been discovered. If proved reserves are not discovered with an exploratory well, the costs of drilling the well are expensed.

 

5



 

The capitalized costs of our oil and gas properties, on a field basis, cannot exceed the estimated future net cash flows of that field. If net capitalized costs exceed future net revenues, we must write down the costs of each such field to our estimate of fair market value. Unproved properties are evaluated at the lower of cost or fair market value. Accordingly, a significant decline in oil or gas prices or unsuccessful exploration efforts could cause a future write-down of capitalized costs, reducing our assets and net worth.

 

We review the carrying value of our properties quarterly based on prices in effect as of the end of each quarter or as of the time of reporting our results. Once incurred, a write-down of oil and gas properties cannot be reversed at a later date even if oil or gas prices increase.

 

Exploration and development drilling may not result in commercially productive reserves.

 

Oil and gas drilling and production activities are subject to numerous risks, including the risk that no commercially productive oil or natural gas will be found. The cost of drilling and completing wells is often uncertain, and oil and gas drilling and production activities may be shortened, delayed or canceled as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

 

           unexpected drilling conditions;

 

           title problems;

 

           pressure or irregularities in formations;

 

           equipment failures or accidents;

 

           adverse weather conditions;

 

           compliance with environmental and other governmental requirements;

 

           shortages or delays in the availability of or increases in the cost of drilling rigs and the delivery of equipment; and

 

           lack of availability of experienced drilling crews.

 

Competition in our industry is intense, and many of our competitors have greater financial and technical resources than we do.

 

We face intense competition from major oil companies, independent oil and gas exploration and production companies, financial buyers and institutional and individual investors who are actively seeking oil and gas properties throughout the world, along with the equipment, expertise, labor and materials required to operate oil and gas properties. Many of our competitors have financial and technical resources vastly exceeding those available to us, and many oil and gas properties are sold in a competitive bidding process in which our competitors may be able to pay more for development prospects and productive properties or in which our competitors have technological information or expertise to evaluate and successfully bid for the properties that is not available to us. In addition, shortages of equipment, labor or materials as a result of intense competition may result in increased costs or the inability to obtain those resources as needed. We may not be successful in acquiring and developing profitable properties in the face of this competition.

 

To fund our future growth we may require additional capital, which may not be available or may only be available on unfavorable terms.

 

Our future capital requirements depend on many factors, including development and acquisition opportunities, the availability of debt financing and the cash flow from our operations. To the extent that our funds are insufficient to meet future capital requirements, we may need to reduce our development activity. Any equity or debt financing, if available at all, may be on terms that are not favorable to us. If

 

6



 

we cannot obtain adequate capital on favorable terms or at all, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling stockholders 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 or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

      ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

      block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

      purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

      an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

      privately negotiated transactions;

 

      short sales;

 

      broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

      a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

      any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. Any profits on the resale of shares of common stock by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a selling stockholder. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.

 

The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 supplementing or amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

 

13



 

The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 supplementing or amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

 

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

 

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of common stock. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

The selling stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares of common stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of shares of common stock by any selling stockholder. If we are notified by any selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of common stock, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus. If the selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of the shares of common stock, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling stockholders.

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

The validity of the shares of common stock offered hereby has been passed upon for us by the Law Office of Gary A. Agron, Greenwood Village, Colorado.

 

EXPERTS

 

Ehrhardt Keefe Steiner & Hottman PC, independent registered public accounting firm, has audited our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, as set forth in their reports, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus and elsewhere in the registration statement. Our financial statements and management’s assessment are incorporated by reference in reliance upon our auditors’ reports, given on their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

 

INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

 

The SEC allows us to incorporate by reference the information that we file with the SEC, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents.

These documents may include periodic reports, such as Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, as well as Proxy Statements. Any documents that we subsequently file with the SEC will automatically update and replace the information previously filed with the SEC. Thus, for example, in the case of a conflict or inconsistency between information set forth in this prospectus and

This prospectus incorporates by reference the documents listed below that we previously have filed with the SEC and any additional documents that we may file with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 between the date of this prospectus and the termination of the offering of the securities.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

 

We have filed with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 that registers the distribution of the securities offered under this prospectus. The registration statement, including the attached exhibits and schedules and the information incorporated by reference, contains additional relevant information about us and the securities. The rules and regulations of the SEC allow us to omit from this prospectus certain information included in the registration statement.

 

In addition, we file annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You may read and copy this information and the registration statement at the SEC public reference room located at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330 for more information about the operation of the public reference room.

 

In addition, the SEC maintains an Internet Web site that contains reports, proxy statements and other information about issuers of securities, like us, who file such material electronically with the SEC. The address of that web site is http://www.sec.gov. We also maintain a web site at http://www.PRBtrans.com, which provides additional information about our company.
