The offering price per share for the selling security holders was estimated
solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457
of Regulation C. Pursuant to Rules 457(c) and (h) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, the registration fee has been calculated based upon a price of
$0.015 per share, the average of the high and low sales prices of the common
stock on January 7, 2008, as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board. Pursuant to
Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act, the Registration Statement is also
intended to cover any additional common shares that may be issued to prevent
dilution resulting from any subsequent stock split, stock dividend or similar
transaction.
PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS
Item 1. Plan Information.
The documents containing the information specified in Part I of Form
S-8 (plan information and registrant information) will be sent or given to
employees as specified by Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 428(b)(1).
Such documents need not be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
either as part of this Registration Statement or as prospectuses or prospectus
supplements pursuant to Rule 424. These documents and the documents incorporated
by reference in this Registration Statement pursuant to Item 3 of Part II
hereof, taken together, constitute a prospectus that meets the requirements of
Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Item 2. Registrant Information and Employee Plan Annual Information.
See response to Item 1 above.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission are incorporated herein by reference:
(a) Registrant's latest Annual Report filed pursuant to Section 13(a)
or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), together with
all amendments thereto;
(b) All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the registrant's
document referred to in subparagraph (a), above, together with all amendments
thereto;
(c) Description of the registrant's Common Stock contained in the
registration statement filed under the Exchange Act, including any amendment or
report filed for the purpose of updating such information; and
(d) All documents subsequently filed by the registrant pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of
a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been
sold or which deregistered all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed
to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be part
hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Any statement contained herein or in a document, all or a portion of which is
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein, shall be deemed
to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the
extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed
document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or
superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or amended, to constitute
a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Our shares of common stock have been registered under Section 12 of the
Exchange Act.

Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.
The law firm of Durham, Jones & Pinegar, P.C. (the "Firm"), Salt Lake
City, Utah, counsel to the Company, has rendered an opinion attached as an
exhibit hereto with respect to the legality of the shares of Common Stock to be
registered herein. This Registration Statement includes the registration of up
to 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock which may be purchased under stock purchase
rights granted by the Company to the Firm or its designees.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our Bylaws provide, among other things, that our officers or directors are not
personally liable to us or to our stockholders for damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as an officer or director, except for damages for breach of such
duty resulting from (a) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct,
fraud, or a knowing violation of law, or (b) the unlawful payment of dividends.
Our Bylaws also authorize us to indemnify our officers and directors under
certain circumstances. We anticipate we will enter into indemnification
agreements with each of our executive officers and directors pursuant to which
we will agree to indemnify each such person for all expenses and liabilities
incurred by such person in connection with any civil or criminal action brought
against such person by reason of their being an officer or director of the
Company. In order to be entitled to such indemnification, such person must have
acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to criminal actions, such
person must have had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is,
therefore, unenforceable.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits is incorporated
herein by reference.
Item 9. Undertakings.
A. Rule 415 Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration
statement;
(iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
3
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
the termination of the offering.
B. Subsequent Exchange Act Filings Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of any employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
C. Indemnification Undertakings
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
