GLOSSARY

Blowout - the uncontrolled flow of gas, oil or other fluids from a well.

Brine - the water extracted from the subsurface with oil and gas. It may include water from the reservoir, water that has been injected into the formation, and any chemicals added during the production/treatment process. Produced water is also called "brine" (and may contain high mineral or salt content) or "formation water." Some produced water is quite fresh and may be used for livestock watering or irrigation (where allowed by law).

Casing - metal pipe inserted into a wellbore and cemented in place to protect both subsurface formations (such as groundwater) and the wellbore. A surface casing is set first to protect groundwater. The production casing is the last one set. The production tubing (through which hydrocarbons flow to the surface) will be suspended inside the production casing.

Cratering - Cratering occurs when the circulation system, dug around the drilling rig to prevent blowouts, collapses. Often, the drilling rig itself is lost during a cratering incident.

Field - An area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs all grouped on, or related to, the same individual geological structural feature or stratigraphic condition. The field name refers to the surface area, although it may refer to both the surface and the underground productive formations.

Fracturing - the application of hydraulic pressure to the reservoir formation to create fractures through which oil or gas may move to the wellbore.

Graticular block - a graticular block is a measurement of land area, measuring one minute of latitude by one minute of longitude.

Lease - a legal document conveying the right to drill for oil and gas, or the tract of land on which a lease has been obtained where the producing wells and production equipment are located.

Log - to conduct a survey inside a borehole to gather information about the subsurface formations; the results of such a survey. Logs typically consist of several curves on a long grid that describe properties within the wellbore or surrounding formations that can be interpreted to provide information about the location of oil, gas, and water. Also called well logs, borehole logs, wireline logs.

Natural gas liquids (NGL) - the portions of gas from a reservoir that are liquified at the surface in separators, field facilities, or gas processing plants. NGL from gas processing plants is also called liquified petroleum gas (LPG).

Royalty - a percentage interest in the value of production from a lease that is retained and paid to the mineral rights owner.

Spacing - the distance between wells producing from the same reservoir. Spacing is often expressed in terms of acres, e.g., 40-acre spacing, and is often established by regulatory agencies.

Spudded - the date upon which an oil or gas well drilling operations are commenced.

Stratigraphy - the study of strata, or layers in soil, often to determine the relative ages of the different layers.

Wellhead - the equipment at the surface of a well used to control the pressure; the point at which the hydrocarbons and water exit the ground

Wildcat well - a well drilled in an area where no current oil or gas production exists. Also called a "rank wildcat."

Many of the definitions above are provided courtesy of the American Petroleum Institute, and are derived from Introduction to Oil and Gas Production, Book One of the Vocational Training Series, Fifth Edition, June 1996.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

Lexaria is an oil and gas exploration company and we have no revenues to date. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information and financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. Consequently, this summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should carefully read the entire prospectus, including the "Risk Factors" section and the documents and information incorporated by reference into it.

Our Business

Lexaria is an exploration and development stage oil and gas company engaged in the exploration for petroleum and natural gas in Canada and the United States. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 9, 2004. Our business offices are located at 1166 Alberni Street, Suite 501, Vancouver British Columbia V6E 3Z3. Our telephone number is (604) 684-0999 #4. Since its inception, the Company has been engaged in the business of acquiring opportunities to explore for oil and gas.

We have acquired an interest in a property located 80 miles northwest of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. As of September 23, 2005, the Company signed an agreement to participate in a 4,050 meter drill program. The Company has paid $218,739 for a 2% to 4% interest in the "Strachan Leduc Reef" located in Section 9, Township 38, Range 9, West of the 5th Meridian ("Section"9). Drilling of this well has been completed and testing is underway. Odin Capital Inc. of Calgary, Alberta, with whom the Company entered into this agreement, is a successful Canadian exploration finance company that arranges all aspects of identifying, financing, exploring and drilling properties. The operator of the earning well is Rosetta Exploration Inc. of Calgary, Alberta.

We have entered into a 10-hole drilling program agreement with Griffin & Griffin Exploration, L.L.C. ("Griffin") dated December 21, 2005, whereby we acquired a 20% gross working interest in a 10-well drilling program (the "Drilling Program"), to be carried out at Palmetto Point, Southwest Mississippi.

As of January 17, 2006 we have paid US$700,000 to Griffin, which represents the full cost of our 20% gross working interest in the Drilling Program. Griffin has agreed that the leases held by it covering any mineral estate underlying the applicable well site acreage shall not provide for more than twenty-five (25%) percent of eight-eighths (8/8) royalty and overriding royalty interest and consequently, the interest held by us in the drilling program is a seventy-five (75%) net working interest. Griffin will conduct the Drilling Program in its capacity as Operator.

We have not generated any revenue since inception. We have conducted exploration and drilling activities during 2005 and will continue doing so in 2006 and beyond.

We have also made an application for a Petroleum Prospecting License (APPL 264) to the Department of Petroleum and Energy, Papua, New Guinea. No license has been received as yet, and no assurances can be made that any license will be received. Therefore, the Company does not consider this application as a material asset.

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on the consolidated financial statements for the period ended October 31, 2004 our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding their substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

The Offering

This prospectus relates to 11,233,300 shares of our common stock to be sold by the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus. As of February 28, 2006, there are 17,582,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and we have no other securities issued and outstanding. The selling stockholders will sell their shares of our common stock at a price of $0.15 per share until shares of our common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. There can be no assurances, however, that we will be able to obtain an OTC Bulletin Board listing. Our common stock is presently not traded on any market or securities exchange, and we have not applied for listing or quotation on any public market. We will not receive any of the proceeds of the shares of common stock offered by the selling stockholders.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this prospectus in evaluating Lexaria and its business before purchasing shares of common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.

Risks Associated with our Business

We have a limited operating history with losses and expect losses to continue, which raises concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have not generated any revenues since our incorporation and we will, in all likelihood, continue to incur operating expenses without revenues until we are able to successfully commercialize our exploration claims. Our business plan may require us to incur further exploration expenses on our properties. There are no cash payments required to be made over this same period. We have incurred operating losses of $75,722 since inception. We may not be able to successfully commercialize our exploration claims or ever become profitable. These circumstances raise concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.

6


 

We will require additional financing to develop our existing exploration claims or acquire additional resource assets.

Because we have not generated any revenue from our business and we cannot anticipate when we will be able to generate revenue from our business, we will need to raise additional funds to acquire, explore and develop oil and gas interests. We do not currently have sufficient financial resources to completely fund the development and production of our exploration interests. We currently do not have sufficient financial resources to fund the acquisition of additional exploration or development interests. We anticipate that we will need to raise further financing after the next 12 month period. We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to find such financing if required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including investor acceptance of our oil and gas interests and development plans. The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing shareholders.

We may not be successful in our exploration for oil and gas.

We currently do not have any oil or gas reserves that are deemed proved, probable or possible pursuant to American or Canadian standards of disclosure for oil and gas activities. We have participated in the drilling of one exploration well at this time, in Alberta Canada, and have begun to participate in the drilling of ten (10) additional wells in 2006, in Mississippi USA.

There can be no assurance that our current well re-completion activities or future drilling activities will be successful, and we cannot be sure that our overall drilling success rate or our production operations within a particular area will ever come to fruition, and if they do, will not decline over time. We may not recover all or any portion of our capital investment in the wells or the underlying leaseholds. Unsuccessful drilling activities would have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations and financial condition. The cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is often uncertain, and a number of factors can delay or prevent drilling operations, including: (i) unexpected drilling conditions; (ii) pressure or irregularities in geological formation; (iii) equipment failures or accidents; (iv) adverse weather conditions; and (iv) shortages or delays in the availability of drilling rigs and the delivery of equipment.

In addition, our exploration and development plans may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of lack of adequate capital and other factors, such as weather, compliance with governmental regulations, current and forecasted prices for oil and changes in the estimates of costs to complete the projects. We will continue to gather information about our exploration projects, and it is possible that additional information may cause us to alter our schedule or determine that a project should not be pursued at all. You should understand that our plans regarding our projects are subject to change.

We may not be able to obtain all of the licenses necessary to operate our business.

Our operations require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities to drill wells and transport hydrocarbon fluids or gases. We believe that we hold, or will hold, all necessary licenses and permits under applicable laws and regulations for our operations and believe we will be able to comply in all material respects with the terms of such licenses and permits. However, such licenses and permits are subject to change in various circumstances. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to maintain continued operations that economically justify the cost.

The exploration business is competitive.

We operate in the highly competitive area of oil and natural gas exploration and production. Many of our competitors have much greater financial and other resources than we possess. Such competitors have a greater ability to bear the economic risks inherent in all phases of the industry. In our exploration and production business, the availability of alternate fuel sources, the costs of our drilling program, the development of transportation systems to bring future production to the market and transportation costs of oil are factors that affect our ability to compete in the marketplace.

7


 

Estimates of oil and gas reserves are inherently forward-looking statements, subject to error, which could force us to curtail or cease our business operations.

We have no oil and gas reserves. Potential future estimates of oil and gas reserves are inherently forward-looking statements subject to error. Although estimates of reserves are made based on a high degree of assurance in the estimates at the time the estimates are made, unforeseen events and uncontrollable factors can have significant adverse impacts on the estimates. Actual conditions will inherently differ from estimates. The unforeseen adverse events and uncontrollable factors include but are not limited to: geologic uncertainties including unforeseen fracturing or faulting; oil and gas price fluctuations; fuel price increases; variations in exploration, production, and processing parameters; and adverse changes in environmental or resource laws and regulations. The timing and effects of variances from estimated values cannot be predicted.

The volatility of oil prices could adversely affect our results of operations.

The prices we will receive for any products we may produce and sell are likely to be subject to large fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for oil and a variety of additional factors beyond our control. These factors include but are not limited to the condition of the worldwide economy, the actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, governmental regulations, political stability in the Middle East and elsewhere and the availability of alternate fuel sources. The prices for oil will affect:

  • our revenues, cash flows and earnings;
  • our ability to attract capital to finance our operations, and the cost of such capital;
  • the profit or loss we incur in refining petroleum products; and
  • the profit or loss we incur in our oil and gas exploration activities.

Operating hazards may adversely impact our oil and gas exploration activities.

Our exploration operations are subject to risks inherent in the exploration business, such as blowouts, cratering, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids, fires, pollution, and other environmental risks. These risks could result in substantial losses due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage and suspension of operations. Our operations could be subject to a variety of additional operating risks such as earthquakes, mudslides, tsunamis and other effects associated with extensive rainfall or other adverse weather conditions. Our operations could result in liabilities for personal injuries, property damage, oil spills, discharge of hazardous materials, remediation and clean-up costs or other environmental damages. As a result, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred, the payment of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Fuel price variability.

The cost of fuel can be a major variable in the cost of oil and gas exploration, one which is not necessarily included in the contract exploration prices obtained from contractors, but is passed on to the overall cost of operation. Although high fuel prices by historical standards have been used in making the reserve estimates included herein, future fuel prices and their impact are difficult to predict, but could force us to curtail or cease our business operations.

Changes in environmental regulations.

Lexaria believes that it currently complies with existing environmental laws and regulations affecting its operations. While there are no currently known proposed changes in these laws or regulations, significant changes have affected the industry in the past and additional changes may occur in the future.

8


 

The Company's operations are subject to environmental laws, regulations and rules promulgated from time to time by government. Environmental legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain oil and gas industry operations, such as uncontrolled flaring, which could result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in the imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that means stricter standards and enforcement. Fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies, directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has a potential to reduce the profitability of operations. The Company intends to comply with all environmental regulations in the United States and Canada.

The exploration, development and operation of oil and gas projects involve numerous uncertainties.

Oil and gas exploration and development projects typically require a number of years and significant expenditures during the development phase before production is possible. Exploration offers no guarantee, and no realistic ability to project a probability, of ever successfully discovering economically feasible ore resources or reserves.

Development projects are subject to the completion of successful production or development studies, issuance of necessary governmental permits and receipt of adequate financing. The economic feasibility of development projects is based on many factors such as:

  • estimation of reserves;
  • future oil and gas prices; and
  • anticipated capital and operating costs of such projects.

Oil and gas development projects may have limited or no relevant operating history upon which to base estimates of future operating costs and capital requirements. Estimates of reserves and operating costs are based on geologic and engineering analyses.

Any of the following events, among others, could affect the profitability or economic feasibility of a project:

  • unanticipated adverse geotechnical conditions;
  • incorrect data on which engineering assumptions are made;
  • costs of constructing and operating a field in a specific environment;
  • availability and cost of transportation, processing and refining facilities;
  • availability of economic sources of power;
  • adequacy of water supply;
  • adequate access to the site;
  • unanticipated transportation costs;
  • unexpected pollution or hazard costs;
  • government regulations (including regulations relating to prices, royalties, duties, taxes, restrictions on production, quotas on exportation, as well as the costs of protection of the environment and agricultural lands);
  • fluctuations in commodities prices; and
  • accidents, labor actions and force majeure events.

Any of the above referenced events may necessitate significant capital outlays or delays, may materially and adversely affect the economics of a given property, or may cause material changes or delays in our intended exploration, development and production activities. Any of these results could force us to curtail or cease our business operations.

9


 

Oil and gas exploration is highly speculative, involves substantial expenditures, and is frequently non-productive.

Oil and gas exploration involves a high degree of risk and exploration projects are frequently unsuccessful. Few prospects that are explored are ultimately developed into economically producing wells or fields. To the extent that we continue to be involved in oil and gas exploration, the long-term success of our operations will be related to the cost and success of our exploration programs. We cannot assure you that our oil and gas exploration efforts will be successful. The risks associated with oil and gas exploration include:

  • the identification of potential hydrocarbon zones based on superficial analysis;
  • the quality of our management, consultants and partners, and their and our geological and technical expertise; and
  • the capital available for exploration and development.

Substantial expenditures are required to determine if a project has economically extractable oil and gas. Because of these uncertainties, our current and future exploration programs may not result in the discovery of reserves, the expansion of our existing reserves or the further development of our mines.

Oil and gas risks and insurance could have an adverse effect on our business.

Our operations are subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incident to exploring for and developing oil and gas properties, such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, environmental pollution, personal injuries, flooding, cave-ins, changes in technology or production techniques, periodic interruptions because of inclement weather and industrial accidents. Although insurance may ameliorate some of these risks, such insurance may not always be available at economically feasible rates or in the future be adequate to cover the risks and potential liabilities associated with exploring, owning and operating our properties. Either of these events could cause us to curtail or cease our business operations.

If we are unable to recruit or retain qualified personnel, it could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and stock price.

Our success depends in large part on the continued services of our executive officers, and third party relationships. We currently do not have key person insurance on these individuals.

The loss of these people, especially without advance notice, could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and our stock price. It is also very important that we attract and retain highly skilled personnel, including technical personnel, to accommodate our exploration plans and to replace personnel who leave. Competition for qualified personnel can be intense, and there are a limited number of people with the requisite knowledge and experience. Under these conditions, we could be unable to recruit, train, and retain employees. If we cannot attract and retain qualified personnel, it could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and stock price.

We are not the "operator" of any of our oil and gas exploration interests, and so are exposed to the risks of our third-party operators.

We rely on the expertise of our contracted third-party oil and gas exploration and development operators for their judgment, experience and advice. We can give no assurance that these third party operators will always act in our best interests, and we are exposed as a third party to their operations and actions in those properties and activities in which we are contractually bound.

Risks Associated with our Common Stock

There is no active trading market for our common stock and you may be unable to sell your shares of our common stock if a market does not develop for our common stock.

There is currently no active trading market for our common stock and such a market may not develop or be sustained. If we establish a trading market for our common stock, the market price of our common

10


stock may be significantly affected by factors such as actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operation results, general market conditions and other factors. In addition, the stock market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices for the shares of developmental stage companies, which may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's penny stock regulations and the NASD's sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

Our stock is a penny stock. (See "Market for our Common Stock and Related Stockholder Matters".) Our securities are subject to the penny stock rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which impose additional sales practice disclosure requirements. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock and adversely affect the price f our shares.

In addition to the "penny stock" rules, the NASD has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for the customer. The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Because we do not intend to pay any dividends on our common stock, investors seeking dividend income or liquidity should not purchase shares of our common stock.

We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception, and we do not anticipate paying any such dividends for the foreseeable future. Investors seeking dividend income or liquidity should not invest in our common stock.

Because we can issue additional shares of common stock, purchasers of our common stock may incur immediate dilution and may experience further dilution.

We are authorized to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 17,582,000 shares are issued and outstanding as of February 28, 2006. Our Board of Directors has the authority to cause the company to issue additional shares of common stock, and to determine the rights, preferences and privilege of such shares, without consent of any of our stockholders. Consequently, the stockholders may experience more dilution in their ownership of Lexaria in the future.

Other Risks

Because all of our officers and directors are located in non-U.S. jurisdictions, you may have no effective recourse against the management for misconduct and may not be able to enforce judgment and civil liabilities against our officers, directors, experts and agents.

All of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons' assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.

Please read this prospectus carefully. You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. You should not assume that the information provided by the prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of this prospectus.

Our Oil & Gas Projects

Strachan Project - Alberta, Canada

On September 23, 2005, we entered into an agreement (the "Strachan Participation and Farmout Agreement") with Odin Capital Inc. ("Odin") to participate in a 4% share of the costs of drilling a test well into the Leduc formation located 80 miles northwest of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We paid $218,739 for the 4% interest in the test well (before payout), which reduces to a 2% interest (after payout).

Odin of Calgary, Alberta, with whom we entered into this Agreement, is a Canadian exploration finance company that arranges all aspects of identifying, financing, exploring and drilling properties. The operator of the earning well is Rosetta Exploration Inc. of Calgary, Alberta.

Background

The Strachan project is an agreement to participate in the drilling of a potential natural gas well in a prospective property discovered in the Deep Basin along the edge of the Alberta foothills belt, approximately 80 miles northwest of Calgary, Alberta.

The Strachan gas pool was discovered 35 years ago. However, there were no new discoveries in the region until, in November 2004, Shell Oil announced a new Leduc Pool discovery at Ricinus with a potential of one trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves.

The Strachan prospect is 12 miles northeast of the Shell Oil discovery in the same part of the Deep Basin. The potential for this prospect is based on newly developed, highly technical three-dimensional seismic programs that shed new light on identifying deeply buried full height and partial height pinnacle reefs.

History

The original Strachan Leduc discovery well was drilled in October 1967 by a junior oil company called Stampede Oil. Six gas wells were drilled in this major gas pool with significant production rates that filled the maximum capacity of the nearby Strachan gas plant at 250mmcf per day. However, over the ensuing decades, production has now dwindled to where currently only minimal residual gas production is pipelined to what is now an underutilized Strachan gas plant.

13


After 20 years, key wells had cumulative production of between 150 to 225 billion cubic feet of natural gas each. To date, 962 billion cubic feet of natural gas reserves have been recovered and currently only minimal residual gas production is pipelined to what is now an underutilized Strachan gas plant.

The principal terms of the Odin Farmout Agreement are as follows:

  1. Odin will drill to the contract depth, which is a depth sufficient to penetrate thirty (30) metres into the Leduc formation, or a depth of 4,050 metres, whichever shall be the lesser, which describes the earning well and which, upon completion, in accordance with the Odin Farmout Agreement, results in our company earning its interest in the Farmout Lands set out below.

  3. If the well is successful and we participate in the Earning Well, then we shall also pay our share of the costs and expenses to equip the Earning Well to place the well in production.

Current Status of the Strachan Project

Over the past several months drilling has been proceeded with and the Strachan Well has been drilled to a total depth of 13,650 feet. Preliminary results indicate the presence of a potential Devonian gas well.

The operator has informed us that it decided to complete the potential gas well by inserting a casing into the total depth of the well. The casing is now completed and a production test program for this well is being run. If the results of the tests are positive, this well can be tied into a nearby gas sales pipeline, which is connected to an existing gas plant.

14


During the drilling process, the operator of this potential gas well encountered extremely high pressures of up to 10,000 pounds per square inch in several zones. The decision to case the well prior to testing was based on the factors associated with running logging tools in a well with such extremely high pressures.

Project Structure

In participating in the Strachan prospect, we receive the benefit of the operator's expenditures to date in this area, including land costs, 3-dimensional seismic costs, pipeline costs to the Strachan gas plant and the intangible value of their exploration team.

We have acquired a 4% interest in the property. The costs of this 4% interest are:

  • $218,739. (Subsequent costs from the Operator have increased this figure to $332,386 as of February 28, 2006.)

For this 4% interest, we will earn the following:

  • A 2.0% interest in the petroleum and natural gas below the base of the Mannville excluding natural gas in the Leduc formation.
  • A 4.0% interest in the natural gas in the Leduc formation before payout subject to payment of the Overrriding Royalty which is convertible upon payout at royalty owners option to 50% of Farmee's Interest.
  • A 1.6% interest in the rights below the base of the Shunda formation in Section 10, Township 38, Range 9W5M.
  • A 1.289% interest in the rights below the base of the Shunda formation in Sections 15 and 16, Township 38, Range 9W5M down to the base of the deepest formation penetrated.

Palmetto Point Drilling Project - Mississippi

We have entered into a drilling program agreement with Griffin & Griffin Exploration, L.L.C. ("Griffin") dated December 21, 2005, whereby we acquired a 20% gross working interest in a 10-well drilling program (the "Drilling Program"), to be carried out at Palmetto Point, Mississippi.

The total operational and overhead costs for the 100% interest in the 10-well Drilling Program are US$3,500,000. We have paid US$700,000 to Griffin, which represents the full cost of our 20% gross working and revenue interest in the Drilling Program. Griffin has agreed that the leases held by it covering any mineral estate underlying the applicable well site acreage shall not provide for more than twenty-five (25%) percent of eight-eighths (8/8) royalty and overriding royalty interest.

Percentage Interest after Completion per Operating Agreement:

  1. After the payment of all operating expenses as required by the Operating Agreement that we have entered into with Griffin, dated January 5, 2006 (completed):
    1. Griffin's working interest will be 15%; and
    2. Lexaria's working interest will be 17%.

The Griffin Agreement provides that Griffin will:

  1. hold defensible title to the oil, gas and mineral leasehold estate covering the prospect;
  2. obtain and deliver to us a drill site title opinion, which shall be addressed to Griffin covering the applicable well site acreage and indicating that the title to interests to be acquired by us hereunder is of a nature that is customarily relied upon by a reasonable person engaged in activities similar to those contemplated by the Drilling Program; and
  3. obtain from the applicable government authority all necessary licenses and permits.

15


Griffin will conduct the Drilling Program in its capacity as Operator. This will consist of the drilling, logging, testing, completing and equipping for production (or if applicable, the plugging and abandonment) of ten wells. Griffin will drill to a subsurface depth equal to such depth as is necessary to penetrate the sands of the Frio Geological Formation ("Frio") identified as prospectively productive of oil and/or gas. Griffin has drilled, owned or operated more than 100 Frio wells in the region.

The Griffin operating management team consists of William K. Griffin III, President and CEO, with over 30 years of extensive experience in the development of oil and gas in south-western Mississippi; John Andrew Griffin, Vice President, who oversees all day-to-day operations related to land, geology and geophysics; and S. Pittman Calhoun, Chief Geophysicist, with over 30 years of experience as a seismic interpreter, including 3-D interpretation, who has been responsible for over 35 field discoveries.

In its exploration of the Frio at Palmetto Point, Mississippi, Griffin has utilized seismic "bright spot" technology, a technology providing a tool to identify gas reservoirs and to delineate the reservoir geometry and limits. Utilizing this technology has improved reserve estimates and the geologic success ratio that has made the Frio an economical and predictable reservoir.

The Frio in the area of Southwest Mississippi and North-Central Louisiana is a very complex series of sands representing marine transgressions and regression and therefore the presence of varying depositional environments. Structurally, the Frio gas accumulations are a function of local structure and/or structural nose formed as a result of differential compaction features. However, stratigraphic termination also plays a role in most Frio accumulations. The stratigraphy is so complex that seismic HCL evaluations are the only viable exploratory tool for the Frio play.

The economic benefits of Frio wells are that they typically enjoy low finding costs, few Frio wells fail to find gas, and gas occurs at shallower depths. Frio wells have minimal completion costs.

Project - Papua New Guinea

On February 3, 2005, we made application for a Petroleum Prospecting License (APPL 264) to the Department of Petroleum and Energy, Papua, New Guinea. The area sought in the application is in the Papuan Foreland Basin and contains 37 graticular blocks in the Darai Plateau. The Darai Plateau extends northwards to within 15km of the producing Kutubu Oil Fields.

There are several applicants for APPL 264. If our application is successful, we could be required to complete work programs with benchmarks over years 1 & 2 totalling $1,000,000; years 3 & 4 totalling $10,500,00; and years 4 & 6 totalling $6,500,000. If our application is not successful, we will concentrate our continuing efforts on oil and gas exploration in North America.

Since more than one year has passed since our application and we have not had success in being awarded this license, we have written off the application costs of $40,439 as we anticipate that our application will not be successful.

Competitive Factors

The petroleum industry is competitive in all its phases. We compete with numerous other participants in the search for and the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties, and in the marketing of oil and natural gas. Our competitors include oil and natural gas companies that have substantially greater financial resources, staff and facilities than ours. Our ability to obtain or increase reserves in the future will depend not only on our ability to explore and develop our present properties, but also on our ability to select and acquire suitable producing properties or prospects for exploratory drilling. Competitive factors in the distribution and marketing of oil and natural gas include price and methods and reliability of delivery.

Governmental Regulations

Oil and natural gas operations (exploration, production, pricing, marketing and transportation) are subject to extensive controls and regulations imposed by various levels of government that may be amended from time to time. (See "Industry Conditions".) Our operations may require licenses from various governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration and development on its projects.

16


The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") regulates interstate natural gas transportation rates and service conditions, which affect the marketing of natural gas produced by us, as well as the revenues received by us for sales of such production. Since the mid-1980's FERC has issued a series of orders that have significantly altered the marketing and transportation of natural gas. These orders mandate a fundamental restructuring of interstate pipeline sales and transportation service, including the unbundling by interstate pipelines of the sale, transportation, storage and other components of the city gate sales services such pipelines previously performed. One of FERC's purposes in issuing the orders was to increase competition within all phases of the natural gas industry. Certain aspects of these orders may be modified as a result of various appeals and related proceedings and it is difficult to predict the ultimate impact of the orders on us. Generally, the orders eliminate or substantially reduce the interstate pipelines' traditional role as wholesalers of natural gas in favor of providing only storage and transportation service, and have substantially increased competition and volatility in natural gas markets.

The price that we might receive for the sale of oil and natural gas liquids would be affected by the cost of transporting products to markets. FERC has implemented regulations establishing an indexing system for transportation rates for oil pipelines, which would generally index such rates to inflation, subject to certain conditions and limitations. We are not able to predict with certainty the effect, if any, of these regulations on any future operations. However, the regulations may increase transportation costs or reduce wellhead prices for oil and natural gas liquids.

In the United States we are subject to federal, state and local governmental regulation that affects businesses generally, and the specific regulations that pertain to companies with a class of securities registered under the United States Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Our oil and gas operations in Canada are subject to various federal and local governmental regulations. Matters subject to regulation include discharge permits for drilling operations, drilling and abandonment bonds, reports concerning operations, the spacing of wells, and pooling of properties and taxation. From time to time, regulatory agencies have imposed price controls and limitations on production by restricting the rate of flow of oil and gas wells below actual production capacity in order to conserve supplies of oil and gas. The production, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of oil and gas, by-products thereof, and other substances and materials produced or used in connection with oil and gas operations are also subject to regulation under federal and local laws and regulations relating primarily to the protection of human health and the environment. To date, expenditures related to complying with these laws, and for remediation of existing environmental contamination, have not been incurred in relation to the results of operations of our company, although we anticipate incurring such expenses as our drilling operations proceed. The requirements imposed by such laws and regulations are frequently changed and subject to interpretation, and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with these requirements or their effect on our operations.

In Papua New Guinea, if we were to be successful in obtaining the license for which we have applied, the properties over which we would hold our licenses would be subject to a 22.5% back-in participation right in favor of the government, which the government could exercise upon payment of 22.5% of the expenses incurred in the development of the property. This back-in interest includes a 2% of revenue royalty payment to indigenous groups, which is only payable if the government exercises its back-in right. We have not been awarded an exploration license and do not at this time expect we will be awarded such license.

Mississippi Taxation

According to the Mississippi State Tax Commission, we are subject to state severance and maintenance oil and gas taxes, as follows:

    • 6% of gross receipts per well (severance tax); and
    • 1/2% per MCF of production (maintenance tax.

Kyoto Protocol

Canada is a signatory to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and has ratified the Kyoto Protocol established thereunder to set legally binding targets to reduce nationwide emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and other so-called "greenhouse gases". Lexaria's exploration and production facilities and other operations and activities may emit a small amount of greenhouse gases, which may subject Lexaria to legislation regulating emissions of greenhouse gases. The Government of Canada has put forward a Climate Change Plan for Canada which suggests further legislation will set greenhouse gases emission reduction requirements for various industrial activities, including oil and gas exploration and production. Future federal legislation, together with provincial emission reduction requirements such as those proposed in Alberta's Bill 37: Climate Change and Emissions Management, may require the reduction of emissions or emissions intensity produced by a corporation's operations and facilities. The direct or indirect costs of these regulations may adversely affect the business of Lexaria.

Environmental Law

All phases of the oil and gas business present environmental risks and hazards and are subject to environmental regulation pursuant to a variety of federal, provincial and local laws and regulations. Environmental legislation provides for, among other things, restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with oil and natural gas operations. The legislation also requires that wells and facility sites be operated, maintained, abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory authorities. Compliance with such legislation can require significant expenditures and a breach may result in the imposition of fines and penalties, some of which may be material. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner expected to result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability and potentially increased capital expenditures and operating costs. The discharge of oil, natural gas or other pollutants in the air, soil or water may give rise to liabilities to governments and third parties and may require Lexaria to incur costs to remedy such discharge. Although Lexaria will strive to maintain material compliance with current applicable environmental regulations, no assurance can be given that environmental laws will not result in a curtailment of production or a material increase in the costs of production, development or exploration activities or otherwise adversely affect Lexaria's financial condition, results of operations or prospects. (See "Industry Conditions".)

Environmental Regulation

The oil and natural gas industry is currently subject to environmental regulations pursuant to a variety of provincial and federal legislation. Such legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on the release or emission of various substances produced in association with certain oil and gas industry operations. In addition, such legislation requires that well and facility sites be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of provincial authorities. Compliance with such legislation can require significant expenditures and a breach of such requirements may result in suspension or revocation of necessary licenses and authorizations, civil liability for pollution damage and the imposition of material fines and penalties.

Environmental legislation in Alberta has been consolidated into the Alberta Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act (the "APEA"), which came into force on September 1, 1993. The APEA imposes stricter environmental standards, requires more stringent compliance, reporting and monitoring obligations and significantly increases penalties. Lexaria anticipates making increased expenditures of both a capital and an expense nature as a result of the increasingly stringent laws relating to the protection of the environment and will be taking such steps as required to ensure compliance with the APEA and similar legislation in other jurisdictions in which Lexaria operates. Lexaria believes that it is in material compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Lexaria also believes that it is reasonably likely that the trend towards stricter standards in environmental legislation and regulation will continue.

18


The Mississippi State Oil and Gas Board (the "MSOGB") has primary regulatory authority over the drilling and operation of all oil, gas and injection wells drilled below the base of the underground source of drinking water. The responsibility of the MSOGB includes the issuance of permits to drill, work-over or change operator. The MSOGB monitors compliance with all reporting requirements including monthly production/injection reports and required NORM surveys. The MSOGB issues grants of authority to transport product. It also oversees financial responsibility requirements and the routine inspection of wells for compliance to all Board Rules and Regulations. The MSOGB also monitors spill reports and H2S contingency plans. Lexaria will comply with all required regulations within the State of Mississippi.

Industry Conditions

The oil and natural gas industry is subject to extensive controls and regulations governing its operations (including land tenure, exploration, development, production, refining, transportation and marketing) imposed by legislation enacted by various levels of government and with respect to pricing and taxation of oil and natural gas, by agreements among the governments of Canada and Alberta, which should be carefully considered by investors in the oil and gas industry. It is not expected that any of these controls or regulations will affect Lexaria's operations in a manner materially different than they would affect other oil and gas companies of similar size. All current legislation is a matter of public record and Lexaria is unable to predict what additional legislation or amendments may be enacted. Outlined below are some of the principal aspects of legislation, regulations and agreements governing the oil and gas industry.

Pricing and Marketing - Oil and Natural Gas

The price of oil is determined by negotiation between buyers and sellers. Such price depends in part on oil quality, prices of competing oils, distance to market, the value of refined products and the supply/ demand balance. Oil exporters are also entitled to enter into export contracts with terms not exceeding one year in the case of light crude oil and two years in the case of heavy crude oil, provided that an order approving such export has been obtained from the National Energy Board of Canada (the "NEB"). Any oil export to be made pursuant to a contract of longer duration (to a maximum of 25 years) requires an exporter to obtain an export license from the NEB and the issuance of such license requires the approval of the Governor in Council.

The price of natural gas is determined by negotiation between buyers and sellers. Natural gas exported from Canada is subject to regulation by the NEB and the Government of Canada. Exporters are free to negotiate prices with purchasers, provided that the export contracts must continue to meet certain other criteria prescribed by the NEB and the Government of Canada. Natural gas exports for a term of less than 2 years or for a term of 2 to 20 years (in quantities of not more than 30,000 m3/day) must be made pursuant to a NEB order. Any natural gas export to be made pursuant to a contract of longer duration (to a maximum of 25 years) or a larger quantity requires an exporter to obtain an export license from the NEB and the issuance of such license requires the approval of the Governor in Council.

The government of Alberta also regulates the volume of natural gas that may be removed for consumption elsewhere based on such factors as reserve ability, transportation arrangements and market considerations.

The North American Free Trade Agreement

The North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA") among the governments of Canada, United States of America and Mexico became effective on January 1, 1994. NAFTA carries forward most of the material energy terms that are contained in the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement. Canada continues to remain free to determine whether exports of energy resources to the United States or Mexico will be allowed, provided that any export restrictions do not: (i) reduce the proportion of energy resources exported relative to domestic use (based upon the proportion prevailing in the most recent 36 month period); (ii) impose an export price higher than the domestic price; or (iii) disrupt normal channels of supply. All three countries are prohibited from imposing minimum export or import price requirements.

19


NAFTA contemplates the reduction of Mexican restrictive trade practices in the energy sector and prohibits discriminatory border restrictions and export taxes. The agreement also contemplates clearer disciplines on regulators to ensure fair implementation of any regulatory changes and to minimize disruption of contractual arrangements, which is important for Canadian natural gas exports.

Provincial Royalties and Incentives

In addition to federal regulation, each province has legislation and regulations that govern land tenure, royalties, production rates, environmental protection and other matters. The royalty regime is a significant factor in the profitability of crude oil, natural gas liquids, sulphur and natural gas production. Royalties payable on production from lands other than Alberta government lands are determined by negotiations between the mineral owner and the lessee, although production from such lands is subject to certain provincial taxes and royalties. Alberta government royalties are determined by governmental regulation and are generally calculated as a percentage of the value of the gross production. The rate of royalties payable generally depends in part on prescribed reference prices, well productivity, geographical location, field discovery date and the type or quality of the petroleum product produced.

From time to time the governments of the western Canadian provinces create incentive programs for exploration and development. Such programs often provide for royalty rate reductions, royalty holidays and tax credits, and are generally introduced when commodity prices are low. The programs are designed to encourage exploration and development activity by improving earnings and cash flow within the industry.

Regulations made pursuant to the Mines and Minerals Act (Alberta) provide various incentives for exploring and developing oil reserves in Alberta. Oil produced from horizontal extensions commenced at least 5 years after the well was originally spudded may also qualify for a royalty reduction. A 24-month, 8,000 m3 exemption is available to production from a well that has not produced for a 12 month period, if resuming production after February 1, 1993. As well, oil production from eligible new field and new pool wildcat wells and deeper pool test wells spudded or deepened after September 30, 1992 is entitled to a 12 month royalty exemption (to a maximum of $1 million). Oil produced from low productivity wells, enhanced recovery schemes (such as injection wells) and experimental projects is also subject to royalty reductions.

The Alberta government has also introduced a Third Tier Royalty with a base rate of 10% and a rate cap of 25% for oil pools discovered after September 30, 1992. The new oil royalty reserved to the Alberta government has a base rate of 10% and a rate cap of 30%. The old oil royalty reserved to the Alberta government has a base rate of 10% and a rate cap of 35%.

In Alberta, the royalty reserved to the Alberta government in respect of natural gas production, subject to various incentives, is between 15% and 30%, in the case of new gas, and between 15% and 35%, in the case of old gas, depending upon a prescribed reference or corporate average price. Natural gas produced from qualifying exploratory gas wells spudded or deepened after July 31, 1985 and before June 1, 1988 is eligible for a royalty exemption for a period of 12 months, up to a prescribed maximum amount. Natural gas produced from qualifying intervals in eligible gas wells spudded or deepened to a depth below 2,500 meters is also subject to a royalty exemption, the amount of which depends on the depth of the well.

In Alberta, a producer of oil or natural gas is entitled to a credit against the royalties payable to the Alberta government by virtue of the ARTC program. The ARTC rate is based on a price sensitive formula and the ARTC rate varies between 75% at prices at and below $100 per m3 and 25% at prices at and above $210 per m3. The ARTC rate is applied to a maximum of $2,000,000 of Alberta government royalties payable for each producer or associated group of producers. Government royalties on production from producing properties acquired from a corporation claiming maximum entitlement to ARTC will generally not be eligible for ARTC. The rate will be established quarterly based on the average "par price", as determined by the Alberta Department of Energy for the previous quarterly period.

20


On December 22, 1997, the Alberta government announced that it was conducting a review of the ARTC program with the objective of setting out better targeted objectives for a smaller program and to deal with administrative difficulties. On August 30, 1999, the Alberta government announced that it would not be reducing the size of the program but that it would introduce new rules to reduce the number of persons who qualify for the program. The new rules preclude companies that pay less than $10,000 in royalties per year and non-corporate entities from qualifying for the program. Such rules do not presently preclude Lexaria from being eligible for the ARTC program.

In November 2003, the Tax Act was amended to provide the following initiatives applicable to the oil and gas industry to be phased in over a five year period: (i) a reduction of the federal statutory corporate income tax rate on income earned from resource activities from 28 to 21%, beginning with a one percentage point reduction effective January 1, 2003, and (ii) a deduction for federal income tax purposes of actual provincial and other government royalties and mining taxes paid and the elimination of the 25% resource allowance. In addition, the percentage of ARTC that Lexaria will be required to include in federal taxable income will be 17.5% in 2005; 32.5% in 2006; 50% in 2007; 60% in 2008; 70% in 2009; 80% in 2010; 90% in 2011, and 100% in 2012 and beyond.

Land Tenure

Crude oil and natural gas located in the western provinces is owned predominantly by the respective provincial governments. Provincial governments grant rights to explore for and produce oil and natural gas pursuant to leases, licenses and permits for varying terms from two years and on conditions set forth in provincial legislation including requirements to perform specific work or make payments. Oil and natural gas located in such provinces can also be privately owned and rights to explore for and produce such oil and natural gas are granted by lease on such terms and conditions as may be negotiated.

Employment Agreements

We intend to use the services of sub-contractors for drilling on our properties.

We entered into a consulting agreement with Leonard MacMillan on February 1, 2006 wherein he is reimbursed at the rate of $1,500 per month. Under this agreement, Mr. MacMillan will provide management services to the Company, such duties and responsibilities to include the provision of management and consulting services, strategic corporate and financial planning, management of the overall business operations of the Company, and the supervision of office staff and exploration consultants. We may terminate this agreement with no prior notice based on a number of conditions. Mr. MacMillan may terminate the agreement at any time by giving 30 days written notice of their intention to do so.

We rely on our project Operators for their technical expertise and project management experience, and will, from time to time as necessary, will employ independent consultants to assist us with project evaluation.

Overview

We are a Nevada corporation incorporated on December 9, 2004. We are an exploration stage oil and gas company engaged in the exploration for oil and natural gas in Canada and the United States. We have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations. We are not a blank check company and have no intention of acting as a blank check company as that term is defined under Rule 419 of Regulation C under the Rules of the Securities Act of 1933. We have acquired the right to explore the Strachan Hills oil and gas property in Alberta Canada, and the Palmetto Point oil and gas property in Mississippi USA. Our detailed business plan is discussed herein. (Please see "Business" and the information provided below.)

Our business plan does not anticipate that we will hire a large number of employees or that we will require extensive office space. We plan to acquire most of the industry and geological expertise we require through contractual relationships through third party contractual relationships with other companies, which will act as operators of our various interests. Although this exposes us to certain risks on behalf of those operators, it also allows us to participate in the often unique experience and knowledge that local persons have related to certain properties. We plan to continue our current business of acquiring interests in potentially high-impact oil and gas property interests that offer a high probability of being able to drill without significant time delays. In our North American interests, we also try to choose properties where, if drilling is successful, the wells could be quickly connected to infrastructure and thus, with success, brought into production as quickly as possible to generate cash flow as quickly as possible.

Most of our overhead expenses for the period ending October 31, 2005 are for accounting, legal expenses and $40,439 to try to obtain a prospecting licence in Papau New Guinea. Our entire loss for the period of $75,722, includes $nil spent on exploration and property costs. We are pleased with our financial results, including our ability to raise private capital that has allowed us to fund this year's exploration program and remain in good standing on both our Mississippi and Alberta properties.

During the period September 15, 2005 to December 31, 2005, we spent approximately $218,739 as our share of the drilling and participation costs of the Alberta property. Depending on the final results of this well, which has been completed and is undergoing testing, and depending on the actions of our majority partners, we may have the opportunity to participate in the drilling of additional wells on this property in 2006 or beyond. Our expenditures during the 2005 field program meet the minimum expenditures required to retain in good standing our participation in the Alberta property. Subsequent to October 31, 2005, we prepaid the full $700,000 expected to be required to fully fund our currently expected drilling obligations for our 2006 program in Mississippi.

Because of increased activity, we expect our overhead, exploration and property costs to rise for the period ending October 31, 2006. Exploration expenditures during 2006 have a preliminary budget of not more than $780,000, most of which we have paid in advance. Property payments for all of 2006 are expected to be nil. We currently have sufficient funds to conduct our planned 2006 exploration program and operate our company for the next 12 months.

We do not currently have sufficient funds to fund intended corporate and exploration activities in the period beyond 12 months, but will attempt to raise those funds during 2006 in preparation for the 2007 field program.

Purchase or Sale of Equipment

At this time we do not expect to purchase or sell any plant or significant equipment.

Results of Operations: Alberta Property

Our company was formed on December 9, 2004. We acquired our oil and gas interest located in the Strachan Hills area of Alberta, Canada and have commenced exploration on this property. By December 8, 2005 we had raised funds in the amount of $1,270,060 through private placements. During 2005 we commenced drilling operations on the Strachan property, which have produced sufficiently encouraging results to justify the installation of well casing and testing. We presently intend to continue our exploration and possible development of our Strachan property, although we are a minority partner and are subject to the majority partner's intentions with regards to additional exploration, drilling or production at this property.

22


The well was originally planned to reach total drilling depth by early December, but encountered an overstressed Wabamun formation before reaching total depth. Technical challenges in penetrating this zone were eventually successful, but also delayed the well completion and led to higher than originally budgeted costs.

Sustained high gas pressures of up to 10,000 per square inch have been encountered in the drill hole thus the hole has been cased and is now undergoing testing.

Results of Operations: Mississippi Property

We had no operations at our Mississippi property in 2005 as it was in December 2005 and January 2006 when we completed our interest acquisition. Griffin & Griffin Exploration L.L.C., our drilling program partner and operator, is preparing for the 2006 drilling program of ten (10) wells on the Palmetto Point property in Mississippi. Depending upon weather conditions and equipment and staff availability, drilling of all ten of these wells is expected to commence between March and May 2006. In total, $3,500,000 has been raised by the Palmetto Point participants, including the $700,000 contribution for our 20% gross interest. The Palmetto Point property is fully funded and significant cost overruns are not expected.

We are a start-up exploration and development stage company, and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations. We are not a blank check company and have no intention of acting as a blank check company as that term is defined under Rule 419 of Regulation C under the Rules of the Securities Act of 1933. We have acquired the right to participate in a 10-well drilling program on the Palmetto Point property situated in southwestern Mississippi. Our detailed business plan is discussed herein. (Please see "Business" and the information provided below.)

During the 2005 field program, we had not yet expended any funds conducting our exploration program. Drilling and development expenditures during the 2006 field program have a preliminary budget of not more than $700,000 and we have prepaid this amount in full. Our obligation to pay property payments for all of 2006 total $nil. Operational overhead for all of 2006 should be less than $50,000, unless we are successful in our oil and gas exploration. If we successfully find and produce oil and gas, our overhead in Mississippi will be substantially higher, but it is not possible to determine to what extent it could be higher, until such time as our exploration drilling program is complete. If we are successful in our oil and gas exploration program, and if we discover and begin producing commercial quantities of oil or gas, then the cash flow generated from the sale of such oil or gas man or may not be sufficient to pay the undetermined higher overhead costs. We currently have sufficient funds to conduct our planned 2006 exploration program, the majority of which is already prepaid, make scheduled property payments, and operate our company for the next 12 months.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At October 31, 2005, we had $863,560 in cash. We anticipate that our total operating expenses will be less than $820,000 for the next twelve months, of which we paid $700,000 subsequent to October 31, 2005. In the opinion of our management, available funds should satisfy our current working capital requirements up to December 31, 2006. As of October 31, 2005 our total assets were $1,100,513 and our total liabilities were $11,175.

During the past twelve months we have examined a number of oil and gas exploration and development opportunities. We have submitted an application for an exploration license to Papua New Guinea, but as yet such license has not been awarded to us or any other party, to the best of our knowledge. We evaluated a number of North American based opportunities in which we declined to participate. We evaluated and agreed to participate in the properties we now identify as our Mississippi and Alberta properties and we raised sufficient funds from investors to allow us to fully fund our obligations.

Our expected timeline of operations in Mississippi is such that we expect to begin drilling our ten (10) well program in March of 2006, and to complete the drilling of this program no later than December, 2006. Each well is expected to take less than ten days to drill and not more than another ten days to analyze. We may face delays in our program by unforeseen events, or by normal events most likely such as inclement weather or poor availability of equipment or personnel. Because the entire $3,500,000 required to complete this drill program has already been raised by us and the other program participants, we expect no delays due to funding requirements.

23


Our expected timeline of operations in Alberta is to complete the testing of our first Strachan Hills well as soon as possible. This testing is currently underway and should be complete by April 2006. We have already paid our full share of all costs associated with acquiring our interest and drilling and casing the well. If production tests are successful, then we would expect to incur completion and tie-in costs to bring the well into production, of not more than $30,000 for our 4% share of costs.

We expect to incur legal, accounting and auditing fees in 2006 of not more than $60,000. We expect operational overhead in 2006 of not more than $30,000.

Based on the active properties we are now participating in, in Alberta and in Mississippi, we do not anticipate requiring additional funds within the next 12 months. We have already paid all of our prorate costs for the drilling of the Strachan Hills well in Alberta. We have prepaid all of the budgeted costs for our 20% interest in the 10-well drilling program in Mississippi. We do not anticipate any costs overruns. We have applied for an exploration license in Papua New Guinea, but as yet have not received any license. We have no way of anticipating whether this license application will be successful, but if it is, then we would have to raise additional funds to fulfill our exploration obligations.

With regard to keeping our interest options in good standing, we are not obligated to make any cash payments on either our Mississippi or Alberta properties.

We cannot know if any of the current projects we are participating in will be successful, or to what degree they might be successful. The degree of success or failure in these projects will partly determine our need for capital in the future. If these projects are very successful and discover and produce commercially profitable quantities of oil or gas, then they may generate cash flow to help pay for future exploration activities. If the projects are successful, with our majority partners we may decide to conduct even larger future drilling programs, which would require significant additional cash contributions. If these projects are failures, then the funds we have spent to date will have produced no commercial benefit, and we will require additional funds to proceed with the advancement of our company on other as yet undefined projects. At this time we do not expect that our licence application in Papua New Guinea will be successful.

If we do not drill additional wells other than as already herein noted, we have sufficient cash to operate throughout 2006. If we wish to increase shareholder value through accelerated business activity, then we will likely have to raise additional cash through the sale of equity or the acquisition of debt. We would like to raise up to $4,000,000 in 2006 but have not initiated discussions with any party and at this time have no known prospects of doing so.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2004, FASB issued Statement No. 153, "Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets". This statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This Statement is effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of this new accounting pronouncement does have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, as we do not have any exchanges of nonmonetary assets.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". SFAS 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS 123(R) requires that the fair value of such equity instruments be recognized as expense in the historical financial statements as services are performed. Prior to SFAS 123(R), only certain pro-forma disclosures of fair value were required. SFAS 123(R) shall be effective for us as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this new accounting pronouncement does not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Our audited financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.

Oil and Gas Properties

We follow the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas operations. Under this method, all cost incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties are capitalized in one cost center, including certain internal costs directly associated with such activities. Proceeds from sales of oil and gas properties are credited to the cost center with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved oil and gas reverses.

If capitalized costs, less related accumulated amortization and deferred income taxes, exceed the "full cost ceiling", the excess is expensed in the period such excess occurs. The full cost ceiling includes an estimated discounted value of future net revenues attributable to proved reserves using current product prices and operating cost, and an estimate of the value of unproved properties within the cost center.

Costs of oil and gas properties are amortized using the unit-of-production method upon the commencement of production. The significant unevaluated properties are excluded from costs subject to depletion. As at October 31, 2005, we do not have any proved reserves.

Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess of the asset's carrying value over its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

Going Concern

Our annual financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of operations. The financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. However, certain conditions exist which raise doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have suffered recurring losses from operations and have accumulated losses of $75,722 since inception through October 31, 2005.

PROPERTY

On February 1, 2006 we began utilizing office space located at suite 501 - 1166 Alberni Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 3Z3, which facilities are provided to us at month-to-month rental of $500 per month from Karmel Capital Corp.

We have entered into a management services agreement with our President, Leonard MacMillan. We have not entered into any other employment or consulting agreements with our other directors or executive officers. There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers. Our directors and executive officers may receive stock options at the discretion of our board of directors in the future, but no such options have been issued at this time.

Directors Compensation

We reimburse our directors for expenses incurred in connection with attending board meetings but did not pay director's fees or other cash compensation for services rendered as a director in the period ended December 31, 2005.

27


We have no formal plan for compensating our directors for their service in their capacity as directors. In the future we may grant to our directors options to purchase shares of common stock as determined by our Board of Directors or a compensation committee, which may be established in the future. Directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our board of directors. The board of directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on behalf of Lexaria other than services ordinarily required of a director. Other than indicated in this prospectus, no director received and/or accrued any compensation for his or her services as a director, including committee participation and/or special assignments.

DISCLOSURE OF SEC POSITION OF
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

The General Corporate Law of Nevada empowers a company incorporated in Nevada, such as Lexaria, to indemnify its directors and officers under certain circumstances.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Articles provide that no director or officer shall be personally liable to Lexaria or any of its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer involving any act or omission of such director or officer unless such acts or omissions involve material misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or the payment of dividends in violation of the General Corporate Law of Nevada.

Our Bylaws provide that no officer or director shall be personally liable for any obligations of Lexaria or for any duties or obligations arising out of any acts or conduct of the officer or director performed for or on behalf of Lexaria. The Bylaws also state that we will indemnify and hold harmless each person and their heirs and administrators who shall serve at any time hereafter as a director or officer from and against any and all claims, judgments and liabilities to which such persons shall become subject by reason of their having heretofore or hereafter been a director or officer, or by reason of any action alleged to have heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to have been taken by him or her as a director or officer. We will reimburse each such person for all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any such claim or liability, including power to defend such persons from all suits or claims as provided for under the provisions of the General Corporate Law of Nevada; provided, however, that no such persons shall be indemnified against, or be reimbursed for, any expense incurred in connection with any claim or liability arising out of his (or her) own negligence or wilful misconduct. Our Bylaws also provide that we, our directors, officers, employees and agents will be fully protected in taking any action or making any payment, or in refusing so to do in reliance upon the advice of counsel.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Lexaria under Nevada law or otherwise, Lexaria has been advised the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell all or a portion of the shares of our common stock in one or more of the following methods described below. Our common stock is not currently listed on any national exchange or electronic quotation system. There is currently no market for our securities and a market may never develop. Because there is currently no public market for our common stock, the selling stockholders will sell their shares of our common stock at a price of $0.15 per share until shares of our common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The shares of common stock may be sold by the selling stockholders by one or more of the following methods, without limitation:

  1. block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares of common stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
  2. purchases by broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;
  3. an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the exchange;
  4. ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

  1. privately negotiated transactions;

29


 

  1. market sales (both long and short to the extent permitted under the federal securities laws);
  2. at the market to or through market makers or into an existing market for the shares;
  3. through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed or otherwise); and
  4. a combination of any aforementioned methods of sale.

In effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders or, if any of the broker-dealers act as an agent for the purchaser of such shares, from the purchaser in amounts to be negotiated which are not expected to exceed those customary in the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of the shares of common stock at a stipulated price per share. Such an agreement may also require the broker-dealer to purchase as principal any unsold shares of common stock at the price required to fulfil the broker-dealer commitment to the selling stockholders if such broker-dealer is unable to sell the shares on behalf of the selling stockholders. Broker-dealers who acquire shares of common stock as principal may thereafter resell the shares of common stock from time to time in transactions which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above. Such sales by a broker-dealer could be at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. In connection with such resales, the broker-dealer may pay to or receive from the purchasers of the shares, commissions as described above. Before the involvement of any broker-dealer in the offering, such broker-dealer must seek and obtain clearance of the underwriting compensation and arrangements from the NASD Corporate Finance Department.

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the selling stockholders in the sale of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. In that event, any commissions received by the 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.

From time to time, the selling stockholders may pledge their shares of common stock pursuant to the margin provisions of their customer agreements with their brokers. Upon a default by a selling stockholder, the broker may offer and sell the pledged shares of common stock from time to time. Upon a sale of the shares of common stock, the selling stockholders intend to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements, under the Securities Act, by delivering a prospectus to each purchaser in the transaction. We intend to file any amendments or other necessary documents in compliance with the Securities Act, which may be required in the event any selling stockholder defaults under any customer agreement with brokers.

If the selling stockholders enter into an agreement to sell their shares to a broker-dealer as principal and the broker-dealer is acting as an underwriter, and to the extent required under the Securities Act, we will file a post effective amendment to this registration statement to disclosing, the name of any broker-dealers, the number of shares of common stock involved, the price at which the common stock is to be sold, the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealers, where applicable, that such broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and other facts material to the transaction. We will also file the agreement between the selling stockholders and the broker-dealer as an exhibit to this registration statement.

We and the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under it, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and, insofar as the selling stockholders are distribution participants and we, under certain circumstances, may be a distribution participant, Regulation M. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock.

30


All expenses of the registration statement including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, printing and mailing fees are and will be borne by us. Any commissions, discounts or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares of common stock will be borne by the selling stockholders, the purchasers participating in such transaction, or both.

Any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as amended, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. Rule 144 provides that any affiliate or other person who sells restricted securities of an issuer for his own account, or any person who sells restricted or any other securities for the account of an affiliate of the issuer of such securities, shall be deemed not to be engaged in a distribution of such securities and therefore not to be an underwriter thereof within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act if all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met. Conditions for sales under Rule 144 include:

(1) adequate current public information with respect to the issuer must be available;

(2) restricted securities must meet a one-year holding period, measured from the date of acquisition of the securities from the issuer or from an affiliate of the issuer;

(3) sales of restricted or other securities sold for the account of an affiliate, and sales of restricted securities by a non-affiliate, during any three month period, cannot exceed the greater of (a) 1% of the securities of the class outstanding as shown by the most recent statement of the issuer; or (b) the average weekly trading volume reported on all exchanges and through a automated inter-dealer quotation system for the four weeks preceding the filing of the Notice in Form 144;

(4) the securities must be sold in ordinary "brokers' transactions" within the meaning of section 4(4) of the Securities Act or in transactions directly with a market maker, without solicitation by the selling security holders, and without the payment of any extraordinary commissions or fees;

(5) If the amount of securities to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 during any three-month period exceeds 500 shares/units or has an aggregate sale price in excess of $10,000, the selling security holder must file a notice in Form 144 with the Commission.

The current information requirement listed in (1) above, the volume limitations listed in (3) above, the requirement for sale pursuant to broker's transactions listed in (4) above, and the Form 144 notice filing requirement listed in (5) above cease to apply to any restricted securities sold for the account of a non-affiliate if at least two years has elapsed from the date the securities were acquired from the issuer or from an affiliate.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

We have appointed Nevada Agency & Trust Company of Reno, Nevada as our stock transfer agent and registrar for our securities.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

All of the shares of common stock issued are being offered by the selling stockholders listed in the table below. None of the selling stockholders are broker-dealers or affiliated with broker-dealers.

The selling stockholders may offer and sell, from time to time, any or all of their common stock. Because the selling stockholders may offer all or only some portion of the shares of common stock listed in the table, no estimate can be given as to the amount or percentage of these shares of common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of the offering.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders as of December 31, 2005, and the number of shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. The number of shares in the table represents an estimate of the number of shares of common stock to be offered by the selling stockholders.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

Our authorized capital stock consists of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value. As of February 28, 2006, there were 17,582,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors.

Each stockholder is entitled to receive the dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for dividends and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of our assets after payment of liabilities. Our board of directors is not obligated to declare a dividend. Any future dividends will be subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings, the operating and financial condition of Lexaria, its capital requirements, general business conditions and other pertinent factors. It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.

Stockholders do not have pre-emptive rights to subscribe for additional shares of common stock if issued by us. There are no conversion, redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceedings or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholders are an adverse party or have a material interest adverse to us.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the shares of common stock offered by the selling stockholders will be passed upon by the law firm of Fraser and Company LLP, Vancouver, British Columbia.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

We engaged Staley, Okada & Partners, Chartered Accountants, to audit our financial statements for the period from our inception on December 9, 2004 to October 31, 2005. There has been no change in the accountants and no disagreements with Staley, Okada & Partners, Chartered Accountants on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope procedure.

EXPERTS

Our financial statements for the period from our inception on December 9, 2004 to October 31, 2005 included in this prospectus and registration statement have been audited by Staley, Okada & Partners, Chartered Accountants, as set forth in their report accompanying the financial statements and are included in reliance upon the report, given on the authority of the firm, as experts in accounting and auditing.

INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, directly or indirectly, in the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries. Nor was any such person connected with the registrant or any of its parents, subsidiaries as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee.

MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Currently there is no established public trading market for our common stock. We do not have any common stock subject to outstanding options or warrants to purchase and there are no securities outstanding that are convertible into our common stock. None of our issued and outstanding common stock can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 at this time. We are registering 11,233,300 shares of our common stock under the Securities Act for sale by the selling securities holders. There are current forty-four (44) holders of record of our common stock.

We have not declared any dividend on our common stock since the inception of our company on December 9, 2004. There is no restriction in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws that will limit our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. However, we do not anticipate declaring and paying dividends to our shareholders in the near future.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. If we establish a trading market for our common stock, our common stock will most likely be covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors." The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must

34


provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of, our common stock.

PART II - INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 24 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Nevada corporation law provides that:

  • a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful;
  • a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper; and
  • to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.

We may make any discretionary indemnification only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made:

  • by our stockholders;
  • by our Board of Directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;
  • if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion;
  • if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or
  • by court order.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Articles provide that no director or officer shall be personally liable to Lexaria or any of its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer involving any act or omission of such director or officer unless such acts or omissions involve material misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or the payment of dividends in violation of the General Corporate Law of Nevada.

38


Our Bylaws provide that no officer or director shall be personally liable for any obligations of Lexaria or for any duties or obligations arising out of any acts or conduct of the officer or director performed for or on behalf of Lexaria. The Bylaws also state that we will indemnify and hold harmless each person and their heirs and administrators who shall serve at any time hereafter as a director or officer from and against any and all claims, judgments and liabilities to which such persons shall become subject by reason of their having heretofore or hereafter been a director or officer, or by reason of any action alleged to have heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to have been taken by him or her as a director or officer. We will reimburse each such person for all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any such claim or liability, including power to defend such persons from all suits or claims as provided for under the provisions of the General Corporate Law of Nevada; provided, however, that no such persons shall be indemnified against, or be reimbursed for, any expense incurred in connection with any claim or liability arising out of his (or her) own negligence or wilful misconduct. Our By-Laws also provide that we, our directors, officers, employees and agents will be fully protected in taking any action or making any payment, or in refusing so to do in reliance upon the advice of counsel.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Lexaria under Nevada law or otherwise, Lexaria has been advised the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by Lexaria for expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Lexaria in successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Lexaria will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy in said Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

All these were offshore transactions pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. None of the subscribers were U.S. persons as that term is defined in Regulation S. No directed selling efforts were made in the United States by the Company, any distributor, any of their respective affiliates or any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing. We are subject to Category 3 of Rule 903 of Regulation S and accordingly we implemented the offering restriction referred to by Category 3 of Rule 903 of Regulation S by including a legend on all offering materials, documents and the share certificates that the shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to US persons unless the shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or an exemption from the registration requirement of the Securities Act of 1933 is available. The offering materials and documents also contained a statement that hedging transactions involving the shares may not be conducted unless in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933. The offering price for the offshore transactions was established on an arbitrary basis.

Item 28 Undertakings

The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that it will:

(1) file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

(a) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(b) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

(c) include any material information with respect to on the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

(2) for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each of the post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

(3) remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Lexaria pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Lexaria has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission that type of indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against said liabilities (other than the payment by Lexaria of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Lexaria in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by the director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Lexaria will, unless in the opinion of our 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of the issue.
