This prospectus provides you with a general description of the shares of our common stock which may be offered by the selling shareholders. Each time a selling shareholder sells shares of our common stock, the selling shareholder is required to provide you with this prospectus and, in certain cases, a prospectus supplement containing specific information about the selling shareholder and the terms of the shares of common stock being offered. That prospectus supplement may include additional risk factors or other special considerations applicable to those shares of common stock. Any prospectus supplement may also add, update, or change information in this prospectus. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in the prospectus supplement. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement together with additional information described under “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.”

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements included in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus are not historical facts (including any statements concerning plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions or forecasts related thereto) and are forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology including “forecast,” “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue” or other similar words. These statements discuss future expectations, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state other “forward-looking” information. We and our representatives may from time to time make other oral or written statements that are also forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are made based upon our management’s current plans, expectations, estimates, assumptions and beliefs concerning future events impacting us and therefore involve a number of risks and uncertainties.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary highlights selected information from this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. This prospectus contains or incorporates by reference information regarding our businesses and detailed financial information. You should carefully read this entire prospectus, including the historical financial statements and related notes incorporated by reference herein, before making an investment decision.

In this prospectus, “Particle Drilling Technologies, Inc.,” the “company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Particle Drilling Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiary, except where otherwise indicated or required by context.

Our Company

On January 14, 2005, we acquired Particle Drilling Technologies, Inc., a privately-held Delaware corporation (“PDTI”). As a result of this acquisition, our company, which previously had no material operations, acquired the business of PDTI and we are now engaged in the development of the Particle Impact Drilling System, a patented system utilizing a specially-designed “fit for purpose” drill bit fitted with jetting nozzles and polycrystalline diamond compact cutting structures for use in the oil and gas drilling industry. In this prospectus, we refer to Particle Impact Drilling as “PID” or the “PID technology” and refer to our PID drilling system as the “PID System.” We refer to our drill bit as the “PID bit.” The nozzles in the PID bit serve to accelerate hardened steel shot entrained with ordinary drilling mud to fracture and remove the formation ahead of the bit. The PID System is primarily operated utilizing hydraulic energy that is commonly available on drilling rigs used today in combination with the PID System equipment. Each particle is driven into the rock formation at a high velocity and delivers forces many times greater than the compressional strength of the rock, even in formations that exist in the subsurface at elevated hardness and stress. Depending on the volume of shot introduced into the drilling mud, the number of shot strikes on the formation is in excess of four million per minute, thereby yielding a higher rate of penetration than conventional roller cone rock bits.

We believe the PID System development has advanced significantly and should be available for commercial trials in April of 2006. Our operations plan for the remainder of fiscal year 2006 is expected to include: (1) implementation of the PID System on a drilling oil or gas well; (2) hiring and training additional field and technical personnel; and (3) assembly of additional PID Systems.

Our initial target customers will be oil and gas operators drilling onshore wells in geologic basins of the U.S. known to have hard rock and/or highly abrasive formations. We will initially focus our marketing and sales efforts on operators with multi-well drilling programs centered in a single U.S. basin. Additionally, we will target customers that exhibit a willingness to embrace emerging technologies and have the financial resources to tolerate the perceived risk associated with utilizing new drilling technologies.

Our Executive Offices

Our principal executive and administrative office facility is located in downtown Houston, Texas at One City Centre, 1021 Main Street, Suite 2650, Houston, Texas 77002 and our telephone number is (713) 223-3031.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below in addition to all other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus before making an investment decision. The risks described below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business operations. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have a limited operating history and no revenues and are subject to risks inherent in a new business enterprise. As a result, we have not demonstrated to date that we can successfully implement our business plan or that the PID technology will be successful in a commercial application.

We have recently acquired PDTI, which had a limited operating history and, accordingly, is subject to substantial risks inherent in the commencement of a new business enterprise. Prior to our acquisition of PDTI in January 2005, we had no material operations. The business of PDTI was originally established in June 2003 to: (1) purchase certain of the assets and assume certain of the liabilities of ProDril Services, Incorporated (“PSI”) and ProDril Services International, Ltd. (“PSIL”), related to the PID technology; (2) purchase certain patents underlying the PID technology from the Curlett Family Limited Partnership, Ltd. (“CFLP”); (3) acquire certain technology licenses related to the PID technology from CCORE Technology and Licensing, Ltd. (“CTL”); (4) continue the funding of initial research and development expenses with respect to the technology acquired; and (5) take steps towards the commercialization of the PID technology. To date, the business has not generated any revenue from its operations. We may not be able to successfully develop, commercialize or market our products, generate revenues, or operate profitably. Additionally, we and our business have a very limited operating history that investors can analyze to aid them in making an informed judgment as to the merits of an investment in us. Any investment in us should be considered a high risk investment because you will be investing in a development stage company with unforeseen costs, expenses, competition, and other problems to which new ventures are often subject. In addition, the technology we acquired is still in the development stage and has not yet been applied in a commercial setting. Because we are a development stage company, our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties encountered in establishing a new business in a highly competitive industry.

We have limited sources of liquidity and may not be able to obtain sufficient funding to realize positive cash flows.

We require substantial capital to pursue our operating strategy and execute our business plan. As we have no internal sources of liquidity, we will continue to rely on external sources for liquidity, and for the foreseeable future, our principal source of working capital will be from capital we have raised through private placements of our securities and other external sources.

Our current monthly operating overhead is approximately $275,000, excluding research and development costs and non-cash expenses such as depreciation and stock-based compensation, and we expect that such amount will increase as we expand our operations. Should we require additional capital, we may not be able to obtain funds from external sources in sufficient amounts to fund our business plan.

Even if we are able to demonstrate the commercial application of our products, we may require additional capital in the future to produce our products in sufficient commercial quantities in order for us to realize positive cash flows. Any such additional capital may lead to additional dilution of our shareholders. Additionally, it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital in sufficient quantities or at all.

2




The PID System is a new technology and it may never be accepted in the marketplace.

Certain aspects of the PID technology have not been used or deployed in a commercial oil and gas well. Market acceptance of our products will largely depend upon our ability to demonstrate the PID System’s efficiency, cost effectiveness, safety features and ease of use. We may not be able to demonstrate that the PID System can effectively be deployed on a commercial oil and gas well in a safe and cost-effective manner. The use of the PID technology will also depend upon concerted sales efforts by us and our marketing team. The PID System may never be accepted in the market in preference to other competing technologies that currently exist or that may subsequently be developed. If our products are not generally accepted by the marketplace, we may not realize sufficient revenues or cash flow to execute our operations plan and we may be forced to pursue a different strategy or liquidate our company.

In order to enter the oilfield services market on a full scale basis, we must successfully complete additional research and development, the cost of which may exceed the amounts we have budgeted in our operations plan. Any such cost overruns could exhaust our available capital and force us to raise additional capital, which capital may not be available or may lead to additional dilution of our shareholders.

Our primary products must demonstrate satisfactory performance in the commercial market. Our operations plan calls for further research and development, including the development of different bit sizes and a newer and more efficient injector system. Poor performance of the PID bit or other components of the PID System while conducting commercial trials could further extend the shop and laboratory testing phase, which would delay the full commercialization of the PID System and increase the funds needed to complete our research and development. This would have the effect of slowing our advancement as funds otherwise intended to build new PID Systems and expand our operations may be needed to conduct additional research.

Regardless of the success of the initial research and development, we will require additional research and development and capital spending to continuously improve our service capabilities and expand our operations. We presently intend to finance a portion of our expansion through the use of bank or lease financing. As such, our inability to obtain such financing on favorable terms, or at all, could delay or prevent us from fully commercializing our technology. In addition, regardless of the amount of research and development completed by us, our products may never be successful in commercial operations.

We are obligated to make certain royalty payments that will limit our profitability.

In connection with our acquisition of the PID technology, we agreed to make certain royalty payments to PSI and PSIL. Under our agreement with PSI, we are obligated to pay PSI a royalty on a quarterly basis equal to 18.0% of our earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) derived from the use of the PID technology for such quarter until an aggregate of $67,500,000 has been paid to PSI. Under our agreement with PSIL, we are obligated to pay PSIL a royalty on a quarterly basis equal to 2.0% of our EBITDA derived from the use of the PID technology for such quarter until an aggregate of $7,500,000 has been paid. We have also entered into additional royalty agreements that require us to pay a total of 4.0% of our quarterly gross revenue derived from the use of the PID technology to certain entities from which we acquired the PID technology. These royalty obligations will have the effect of limiting our liquidity and our profitability.

3




We rely on the intellectual property rights we acquired to the PID technology and we may not be able to successfully protect or defend our intellectual property rights. Our competitive position depends to a significant extent on our ability to assert and defend our intellectual property rights in order to restrict other competitors from offering similar services.

Our success depends on certain patents and patent applications that we purchased from CFLP, CTL, PSI and PSIL, along with other proprietary intellectual property rights we intend to develop. We rely on a combination of nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements and trade secret, patent, copyright, and trademark laws to protect our proprietary rights and the proprietary rights of third parties from whom we license intellectual property. The steps we have taken to protect our rights may not be adequate to deter misappropriation of our proprietary information. We also may not be able to detect unauthorized use of and take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property rights. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our proprietary rights as fully or in the same manner as do the laws of the United States. Also, despite the steps taken by us to protect our proprietary rights, others may develop technologies similar or superior to the PID technology or design around the proprietary rights we own.

We are also subject to the risk of litigation alleging infringement of third-party intellectual property rights. Any such claims could require us to spend significant sums in litigation, pay damages, develop non-infringing intellectual property or acquire licenses to the intellectual property which is the subject of the asserted infringement. If we are unable to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, or if claims are successfully brought against us for infringing the intellectual property rights of others, such events could cause us to pay substantial damages, cause us to lose a key competitive advantage, force us to conduct additional research to develop non-infringing technology or cause us to have to pursue a different business strategy.

We may face intense competition in our industry from companies with a more established reputation and greater financial resources than us.

The oilfield services industry in which we compete is highly competitive, and most of our potential competitors will have greater financial resources than we do. Many of our potential competitors have been in the oilfield drilling business for many years and have well-established business contacts with exploration and production companies. Competitors may enter markets served or proposed to be served by us, and we may not be able to compete successfully against such companies or have adequate funds to compete effectively.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our stockholders may experience substantial dilution as a result of the exercise of outstanding options and warrants to purchase our common stock or future issuances of additional shares of our common stock, any of which could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

In connection with our acquisition of PDTI, we assumed warrants to purchase 228,000 shares of common stock and options issued under PDTI’s 2004 Incentive Stock Plan to purchase 3,205,000 shares of common stock. In connection with the private placement of our common stock in February 2005, we granted the placement agent warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of our common stock. Since our acquisition of PDTI, we have issued options to purchase an additional 1,162,500 shares of our common stock. The common stock issuable upon exercise of these options and warrants represents approximately 25% of our outstanding shares of common stock on a fully-diluted basis. The exercise of these options and warrants would result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and any sales of these shares of common stock, or the perception that these sales might occur, could lower the market price of our common stock.

4




We may also issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in connection with the hiring of personnel, future acquisitions, future public offerings or private placements of our securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes. Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that sales could occur, could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

Any trading market that develops in our common stock may be highly illiquid and may not reflect the underlying value of our net assets or business prospects.

Currently only a limited liquid trading market for our common stock exists. An active trading market for our common stock may not develop. Any trading market that does develop may be volatile, and significant competition to sell our common stock in any such trading market may exist, which could negatively affect the price of our common stock. As a result, the value of our common stock may decrease. Additionally, if a trading market does develop, such market may be highly illiquid, and our stock may trade at a price that does not accurately reflect the underlying value of our net assets or business prospects.

We presently do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock.

We currently anticipate that no cash dividends will be paid on our common stock in the foreseeable future. While our dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that all earnings, if any, will be retained to finance the future expansion of our company.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The selling shareholders will receive all of the proceeds from any sales of shares of our common stock. We will not receive any of the proceeds from any such sale by any selling shareholder. See “Selling Shareholders.”

PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDEND POLICY

Our common stock trades on The NASDAQ Capital Market® under the symbol “PDRT.” As of March 2, 2006, the last reported sale price of our common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market® was $5.30.

Prior to June 28, 2005, shares of our common stock were traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. Prior to the announcement of our agreement to acquire PDTI on July 14, 2004, there was limited trading in our common stock and therefore the prices quoted for periods prior to such date should not be considered to be based on an established public trading market. The following table sets forth the high and low trade price information per share of our common stock for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. All prices quoted from the time when our common stock was traded on the OTC Bulletin Board reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

Holders

The approximate number of holders of record of the shares of our common stock was 290 as of November 30, 2005.

Dividends

Holders of shares of common stock will be entitled to receive cash dividends when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for payment thereof. However, if dividends are not declared by our Board of Directors, no dividends shall be paid. We have not paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception.

We do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. While our dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that all earnings, if any, will be retained to finance our future expansion. Therefore, prospective investors who anticipate the need for immediate income by way of cash dividends from their investment should not purchase our securities.

We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. We are not authorized to issue preferred stock under our Articles of Incorporation. As of March 2, 2006, there were  24,851,401 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, including 315,000 shares of restricted stock issued in May 2005 and in January and February 2006 under our 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote per share for the election of directors and on all other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. There are no cumulative voting rights. Common stockholders do not have preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for additional shares under Nevada law, and the common stock is not subject to conversion or redemption.

The investors who purchased 9,000,000 shares of our common stock in the February 2005 private placement received a contractual preemptive right to purchase on a pro rata basis up to 50% of certain new securities we may issue at any time until June 29, 2006. This preemptive right does not apply to: (1) securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of securities that were outstanding as of February 9, 2005, (2) securities issuable pursuant to stock incentive plans or arrangements that are approved by our Board of Directors, (3) securities that may be issued in connection with acquisitions, partnering agreements, joint ventures or other strategic relationships, stock splits or other recapitalizations, lease lines or bank loans, or (4) securities that may be issued to all of our shareholders on a pro rata basis.

In the event of liquidation, the holders of common stock will share equally in any balance of corporate assets available for distribution to them. Subject to the rights of holders of any other securities subsequently issued, holders of the common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available. We have not paid any dividends since our inception and have no intention to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends would be subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and would depend on, among other things, future earnings, the operating and financial condition of our company, our capital requirements, and general business conditions.

Warrants and Options

In connection with our acquisition of PDTI in January 2005, we assumed certain warrants to purchase 228,000 shares of common stock that had previously been issued by PDTI and all options to purchase common stock that were outstanding under PDTI’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan.

The warrants to purchase common stock that we assumed in connection with the acquisition of PDTI are all exercisable for five years from the date of issuance and may be exercised on a net cashless basis. The warrants to purchase common stock consist of (1) warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate at $0.12 per share, (2) warrants to purchase 65,500 shares of common stock in the aggregate at $2.00 per share, and (3) warrants to purchase 12,500 shares of common stock in the aggregate at $3.00 per share.

The options we assumed in connection with our acquisition of PDTI were all issued under PDTI’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, which we also assumed in connection with our acquisition of PDTI. The options are all exercisable for ten years from the date of issuance and may be exercised on a net cashless basis. The options to purchase common stock that we assumed consist of (1) options to purchase 2,655,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate at $0.12 per share and (2) options to purchase 550,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate at $1.75 per share. Since our acquisition of PDTI, we have issued additional options under our equity incentive plans consisting of (1) options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate at $6.20 per share, (2) options to purchase 35,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate at $6.10 per share, (3) options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate at $6.65 per share, (4) options to purchase 665,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate at $4.90 per share, (5) options to purchase 256,500 share of common stock in aggregate at $4.50 per share, (6) options to purchase 150,000

15




shares of common stock in the aggregate at $6.73 per share, and (7) options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate at $5.87 per share. In connection with our private placement offering of shares of our common stock in February 2005, we issued to persons associated with the placement agent with respect to the private placement, warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. These warrants are exercisable until February 9, 2015 and may be exercised on a net cashless basis. We are obligated to register for resale the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants. In the event that the registration of these warrants lapses for any reason, the exercise period for such warrants shall be automatically extended based upon the amount of time such registration statement is not available.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering shares of our common stock on behalf of the selling shareholders. As used in this prospectus, “selling shareholders” includes donees, transferees, pledgees and other successors in interest (other than purchasers pursuant to this prospectus) selling shares received from a named selling shareholders after the date of this prospectus. We will pay for all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares. The selling shareholders will pay for all selling discounts and commissions, if any. The selling shareholders may offer and sell their shares from time to time in one or more of the following types of transactions (including block transactions):

·       on any national exchange on which the shares are listed or any automatic quotation system through which the shares are quoted,

·       in the over-the-counter market,

·       in privately negotiated transactions,

·       through put and call transactions,

·       through short sales, and

·       a combination of such methods of sale.

The selling shareholders may sell their shares at prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. The selling shareholders may use brokers, dealers or agents to sell their shares. The persons acting as agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions. This compensation may be paid by the selling shareholders or the purchasers of the shares for whom such persons may act as agent, or to whom they may sell as a principal, or both.

The selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with these transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the shares in the course of hedging positions they assume with selling shareholders. The selling shareholders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to these broker-dealers or other financial institutions of shares, which such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as amended or supplemented to reflect such transaction). The selling shareholders may also engage in short sales of shares and, in those instances, this prospectus may be delivered in connection with the short sales and the shares offered under this prospectus may be used to cover the short sales.

The selling shareholders and any agents or broker-dealers that participate with the selling shareholders in the offer and sale of the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933. Any commissions they receive and any profit they realize on the resale of the shares by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act of 1933. Neither we nor any selling shareholder can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. Because a selling shareholder may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of

16




the Securities Act of 1933, the selling shareholders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, which may include delivery through the facilities of the applicable exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to Rule 153 under the Securities Act of 1933. The selling shareholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

The selling shareholders and any other person participating in a distribution of the securities covered by this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities by the selling shareholders and any other such person. Furthermore, under Regulation M, any person engaged in the distribution of the securities may not simultaneously engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular securities being distributed for certain periods prior to the commencement of or during such distribution. Regulation M’s prohibition on purchases may include purchases to cover short positions by the selling shareholders, and a selling shareholder’s failure to cover a short position at a lender’s request and subsequent purchases by the lender in the open market of shares to cover such short positions, may be deemed to constitute an inducement to buy shares, which is prohibited by Regulation M. All of the above may effect the marketability of the securities and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the securities.

We are not aware of whether the selling shareholders have entered into any agreements, understanding or arrangements with any broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares, nor are we aware of whether there is an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of shares by the selling shareholders.

Selling shareholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.

Following notification by a selling shareholder that it has entered into any material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, disclosing:

·       the name of each such selling shareholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s);

·       the number of shares involved;

·       the initial price at which these shares were sold;

·       the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable;

·       that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus; and

·       any other facts material to the transactions.

In addition, following notification by a selling shareholder that a donee, pledgee, transferee or other successor-in-interest of such selling shareholder intends to sell more than 500 shares, we will file a supplement to this prospectus.
