<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In
addition to the other information and risks factors contained in this
Prospectus and the documents incorporated and deemed to be incorporated herein,
you should carefully consider the following risks before making an investment
decision. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be
harmed were any of the following risks or uncertainties to develop into actual
events. In such case, the value of our securities could decline and you might
lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described
below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not
presently known to us, or that we currently see as immaterial, may also harm
our business.</font></p>

Related to our Business</font></b></a></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">Our business is tied to overall economic
conditions, and weakness in the market may adversely affect our investment
banking and brokerage businesses.</font></i></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As
a financial services firm, our business is materially affected by conditions in
the global and domestic financial markets and economic conditions. For example,
revenue generated by our subsidiary&#146;s corporate finance business is directly
related to the volume and value of the transactions in which we are
involved.&#160; During periods of unfavorable
market or economic conditions, the volume and value of public offering
transactions may decrease, thereby reducing the demand for our subsidiary&#146;s
underwriting services.&#160; Our subsidiary&#146;s
brokerage business also is affected by general market and economic conditions,
and a slowdown in broker transactions would adversely affect our overall
commissions and revenue.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">Our
reputation and profitability are tied to the performance of the companies we
have underwritten.</font></i></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
performance of companies whose securities we have underwritten or otherwise
sold to our customers may affect our reputation with other potential syndicate
and selling group members and institutional and other retail accounts and may
also affect the amount of money in our customers&#146; portfolios available for the
kinds of investments that we offer.&#160;
Also, the value of our investment portfolio, including the value of
securities without a readily ascertainable market value, that we have estimated
for the purpose of reporting on our financial condition and results of operations,
may be significantly and adversely affected by changes in the value of the
companies themselves or of comparable companies whose stock values we use in
estimating the value of our portfolio securities.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">We are
subject to a high degree of regulation, and a significant regulatory infraction
could severely impact our business.</font></i></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We
are subject to a very high degree of regulation and are responsible for
compliance with applicable regulations by all of our personnel. A significant
regulatory infraction by us or any of our registered representatives could
result in significant penalties, including the loss of our license to conduct
securities business in one or more jurisdictions.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">We face
stiff competition from other financial services firms.</font></i></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
securities industry has become considerably more concentrated and more
competitive since the Company was founded, as numerous securities firms have
either ceased operations or have been acquired by or merged into other firms.
This trend has been particularly pronounced among firms similar in size and
business mix to us. In addition, companies not engaged primarily in the
securities business, but with substantial financial resources, have acquired
leading securities firms. These developments have increased competition from
firms with greater capital resources than those of the Company. In particular,
various recent legislative and regulatory developments have tended to increase
competition within the industry or reduce profits for the industry.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
securities industry has experienced substantial commission discounting by
broker-dealers competing for brokerage business. In addition, an increasing
number of specialized firms offer &#147;discount&#148; services to individual customers.
These firms generally effect transactions for their customers on an &#147;execution
only&#148; basis without offering other services such as portfolio valuation,
investment recommendations and research. A growing number of discount brokerage
firms offer their services over the Internet, further decreasing offered
commission rates and increasing ease of use for customers. The continuation of
such discounting and an increase in the number of new and existing firms
offering discounts could adversely affect the Company. In addition, rapid
growth in the mutual fund industry is presenting potential customers with an
increasing number of alternatives to traditional stock brokerage accounts.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">Our success depends on retaining our existing key employees and successfully recruiting talented and qualified employees in the future.</font></i></p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our people are our most important resource. We must retain the services of our executive officers, including our President Chester L.F. Paulson, and other key professional employees.&#160; We also must strategically recruit and hire new talented and qualified employees</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our
stock price has been volatile, fluctuating over the course of 2004 between
closing prices of $5.22 and $15.30.&#160; The
market price of our Common Stock could continue to fluctuate significantly in
response to a variety of factors, some of which may be beyond our control.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Sales
of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or
the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our
stock to decline.&#160; For example, 500,000
shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance under our 1999 Stock Option
Plan. The exercise of vested options and large-scale sale of associated shares
could negatively affect the market price of our Common Stock.</font></p>

performance and are subject to a variety of factors that could cause our actual
results to differ materially from historical results or from anticipated
results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.&#160; Because of such factors, we cannot assure you
that the results anticipated in this report will be realized.&#160; As noted elsewhere in this report, various
aspects of our business are subject to extreme volatility often as a result of
factors beyond our ability to anticipate or control.&#160; In particular, factors, such as the condition
of the securities markets, which are in turn based on popular perceptions of

be expected to affect the volume of our business as well as the value of the
securities maintained in our trading and investment accounts.</font></p>

Prospectus in one or more transactions on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market System,

methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices
related to such prevailing market prices or at prices otherwise negotiated. The
Selling Shareholders may effect such transactions by selling the Shares to or
through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the
form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling
shareholders and/or the purchasers of the Shares for whom such broker-dealers

them and any profit on the resale of the Shares sold by them may be deemed to
be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. All selling
and other expenses incurred by the Selling Shareholders upon resale will be
borne by the Selling Shareholders. However, the Company will pay all costs and
fees incurred in connection with the preparation of this Registration Statement
and Prospectus. In addition to any Shares sold pursuant to this Prospectus, the
Selling Shareholders may, at the same or different time, sell other shares of
Common Stock owned by him or her in compliance with all of the requirements of
Rule 144, regardless of whether such shares are covered by this Prospectus. As
of the date of this Prospectus, the Company cannot make assurances that all or
any portion of the Shares will be reoffered or resold by the Selling
Shareholders.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Registrant&#146;s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws permit indemnification of the
Registrant&#146;s directors and officers (or any person who may have served at the
Registrant&#146;s request as a director or officer of another corporation in which
it owns stock or of which it is a creditor) against any claim, action, suit or
proceeding where the director&#146;s or officer&#146;s involvement arises from the fact
that he or she is or was a director or officer, except where the director or
officer is adjudged liable for his or her own negligence or misconduct.&#160; The Oregon Business Corporation Act permits a
corporation to include a provision in its articles of incorporation that
eliminates personal liability of directors to the corporation and its
shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as directors, except that no
provision may eliminate or limit a director&#146;s liability for (a)&nbsp;breach of
the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders,
(b)&nbsp;acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c)&nbsp;an unlawful payment of a
dividend or repurchase of stock or (d)&nbsp;any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Insofar
as we may permit indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act to directors, officers and 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 and is, therefore, unenforceable.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Registrant&#146;s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws permit indemnification of the
Registrant&#146;s directors and officers (or any person who may have served at the
Registrant&#146;s request as a director or officer of another corporation in which
it owns stock or of which it is a creditor) against any claim, action, suit or
proceeding where the director&#146;s or officer&#146;s involvement arises from the fact
that he or she is or was a director or officer, except where the director or
officer is adjudged liable for his or her own negligence or misconduct.&#160; The Oregon Business Corporation Act permits a
corporation to include a provision in its articles of incorporation that
eliminates personal liability of directors to the corporation and its
shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as directors, except that no
provision may eliminate or limit a director&#146;s liability for (a)&nbsp;breach of
the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders,
(b)&nbsp;acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c)&nbsp;an unlawful payment of a
dividend or repurchase of stock or (d)&nbsp;any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.</font></p>

This Prospectus relates to
the reoffer and resale of up to 90,500 shares of Common Stock, no par value
(the "Shares"), of Paulson Capital Corp. by officers, directors and other "affiliates"
as defined in Rule 405, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act").  These

granted under the Company's 1999 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").
The Selling Shareholders
will determine when they will sell their Shares, and in all cases they will
sell their Shares at the then-prevailing market price or at prices negotiated

brokers and dealers that the Selling Shareholders may utilize in selling their
Shares may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts,
concessions or commissions from the sellers or purchasers of the Shares.
Our stock is traded on the
Nasdaq Small Cap Market System under the symbol "PLCC."  On March 11, 2005, the last reported sale price
of our Common Stock on Nasdaq was $8.53 per share.  On February 28, 2005, there were 3,190,300

Investing in the Shares involves
risks, which are described from time to time in the periodic reports we file

herein by reference.  Also see "Risk

RISK
FACTORS
In
addition to the other information and risks factors contained in this
Prospectus and the documents incorporated and deemed to be incorporated herein,
you should carefully consider the following risks before making an investment
decision. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be
harmed were any of the following risks or uncertainties to develop into actual
events. In such case, the value of our securities could decline and you might
lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described
below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not
presently known to us, or that we currently see as immaterial, may also harm
our business.
Risks
Related to our Business
Our business is tied to overall economic
conditions, and weakness in the market may adversely affect our investment
banking and brokerage businesses.
As
a financial services firm, our business is materially affected by conditions in
the global and domestic financial markets and economic conditions. For example,
revenue generated by our subsidiary's corporate finance business is directly
related to the volume and value of the transactions in which we are
involved.  During periods of unfavorable
market or economic conditions, the volume and value of public offering
transactions may decrease, thereby reducing the demand for our subsidiary's
underwriting services.  Our subsidiary's
brokerage business also is affected by general market and economic conditions,
and a slowdown in broker transactions would adversely affect our overall
commissions and revenue.
Our
reputation and profitability are tied to the performance of the companies we
have underwritten.
The
performance of companies whose securities we have underwritten or otherwise
sold to our customers may affect our reputation with other potential syndicate
and selling group members and institutional and other retail accounts and may
also affect the amount of money in our customers' portfolios available for the
kinds of investments that we offer. 
Also, the value of our investment portfolio, including the value of
securities without a readily ascertainable market value, that we have estimated
for the purpose of reporting on our financial condition and results of operations,
may be significantly and adversely affected by changes in the value of the
companies themselves or of comparable companies whose stock values we use in
estimating the value of our portfolio securities.
We are
subject to a high degree of regulation, and a significant regulatory infraction
could severely impact our business.
We
are subject to a very high degree of regulation and are responsible for
compliance with applicable regulations by all of our personnel. A significant
regulatory infraction by us or any of our registered representatives could
result in significant penalties, including the loss of our license to conduct
securities business in one or more jurisdictions.
We face
stiff competition from other financial services firms.
The
securities industry has become considerably more concentrated and more
competitive since the Company was founded, as numerous securities firms have
either ceased operations or have been acquired by or merged into other firms.
This trend has been particularly pronounced among firms similar in size and
business mix to us. In addition, companies not engaged primarily in the
securities business, but with substantial financial resources, have acquired
leading securities firms. These developments have increased competition from
firms with greater capital resources than those of the Company. In particular,
various recent legislative and regulatory developments have tended to increase
competition within the industry or reduce profits for the industry.
The
securities industry has experienced substantial commission discounting by
broker-dealers competing for brokerage business. In addition, an increasing
number of specialized firms offer "discount" services to individual customers.
These firms generally effect transactions for their customers on an "execution
only" basis without offering other services such as portfolio valuation,
investment recommendations and research. A growing number of discount brokerage
firms offer their services over the Internet, further decreasing offered
commission rates and increasing ease of use for customers. The continuation of
such discounting and an increase in the number of new and existing firms
offering discounts could adversely affect the Company. In addition, rapid
growth in the mutual fund industry is presenting potential customers with an
increasing number of alternatives to traditional stock brokerage accounts.
Our success depends on retaining our existing key employees and successfully recruiting talented and qualified employees in the future.
Our people are our most important resource. We must retain the services of our executive officers, including our President Chester L.F. Paulson, and other key professional employees.  We also must strategically recruit and hire new talented and qualified employees
in the future.  Failure to do so may adversely affect our ability to effectively compete against our peers and thereby negatively impact our reputation and financial performance.
Risks Related to Investment in Our Securities
The market
price of our Common Stock has been volatile and may continue to fluctuate
significantly because of various factors, some of which are beyond our control.
Our
stock price has been volatile, fluctuating over the course of 2004 between
closing prices of $5.22 and $15.30.  The
market price of our Common Stock could continue to fluctuate significantly in
response to a variety of factors, some of which may be beyond our control.
Future
sales or the potential for sale of a substantial number of our shares of Common
Stock could cause the trading price of our Common Stock to decline.
Sales
of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or
the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our
stock to decline.  For example, 500,000
shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance under our 1999 Stock Option
Plan. The exercise of vested options and large-scale sale of associated shares
could negatively affect the market price of our Common Stock.
Forward-Looking
Statements
This
prospectus contains or incorporates both historical and "forward-looking"
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Words
such as "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "intends," "future" and similar
expressions identify forward-looking statements.  Any such forward-looking statements in this
report reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial
performance and are subject to a variety of factors that could cause our actual
results to differ materially from historical results or from anticipated
results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Because of such factors, we cannot assure you
that the results anticipated in this report will be realized.  As noted elsewhere in this report, various
aspects of our business are subject to extreme volatility often as a result of
factors beyond our ability to anticipate or control.  In particular, factors, such as the condition
of the securities markets, which are in turn based on popular perceptions of
the health of the economy  generally, can
be expected to affect the volume of our business as well as the value of the
securities maintained in our trading and investment accounts.

SELLING
SHAREHOLDERS
This
Prospectus relates to shares of Common Stock that are being registered for
reoffer and resale by Selling Shareholders who have acquired or may acquire
shares of Common Stock pursuant to our 1999 Stock Option Plan, and who may be
deemed "affiliates" of the Company.  An "affiliate"
is defined under the Securities Act as "a person that directly or indirectly,
through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under
common control with" the Company.  The
Selling Shareholders may resell any or all of the Shares of Common Stock at any
time while this Prospectus is current.
Executive
officers, directors or others who are considered to be affiliates of the
Company who acquire Common Stock under the Plan may be added to the list of
selling shareholders, and their number of Shares to be sold may be increased or
decreased by the use of a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC.
The
inclusion of the shares of Common Stock in the table below does not constitute
a commitment to sell any Shares.

PLAN OF
DISTRIBUTION
The
Selling Shareholders may sell the Shares for value from time to time under this
Prospectus in one or more transactions on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market System,
or other exchange, in a negotiated transaction or in a combination of such
methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices
related to such prevailing market prices or at prices otherwise negotiated. The
Selling Shareholders may effect such transactions by selling the Shares to or
through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the
form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling
shareholders and/or the purchasers of the Shares for whom such broker-dealers
may act as agent (which compensation may be less than or in excess of customary
commissions).
The
Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers that participate in the
distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by
them and any profit on the resale of the Shares sold by them may be deemed to
be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. All selling
and other expenses incurred by the Selling Shareholders upon resale will be
borne by the Selling Shareholders. However, the Company will pay all costs and
fees incurred in connection with the preparation of this Registration Statement
and Prospectus. In addition to any Shares sold pursuant to this Prospectus, the
Selling Shareholders may, at the same or different time, sell other shares of
Common Stock owned by him or her in compliance with all of the requirements of
Rule 144, regardless of whether such shares are covered by this Prospectus. As
of the date of this Prospectus, the Company cannot make assurances that all or
any portion of the Shares will be reoffered or resold by the Selling
Shareholders.
USE OF
PROCEEDS
The
Shares are being registered for the account of the Selling Shareholders.  Accordingly, the Company will not receive any
of the proceeds from the sale of Shares by the Selling Shareholders.
EXPERTS
The
financial statements and schedules incorporated by reference in this prospectus
and elsewhere in the registration statement have been audited by Grant Thornton
LLP, independent registered public accountants, as indicated in their reports
with respect thereto, and are included herein in reliance upon the authority of
said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The
Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws permit indemnification of the
Registrant's directors and officers (or any person who may have served at the
Registrant's request as a director or officer of another corporation in which
it owns stock or of which it is a creditor) against any claim, action, suit or
proceeding where the director's or officer's involvement arises from the fact
that he or she is or was a director or officer, except where the director or
officer is adjudged liable for his or her own negligence or misconduct.  The Oregon Business Corporation Act permits a
corporation to include a provision in its articles of incorporation that
eliminates personal liability of directors to the corporation and its
shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as directors, except that no
provision may eliminate or limit a director's liability for (a) breach of
the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders,
(b) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) an unlawful payment of a
dividend or repurchase of stock or (d) any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.
Insofar
as we may permit indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act to directors, officers and 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 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
The
Registrant has obtained insurance protecting officers and directors against specified
liabilities which they may incur in their capacities as officers or directors.
LEGAL MATTERS
The
validity of the Shares offered will be passed upon for us by Holland &
Knight LLP, Portland, Oregon.

Item 9.  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 the registration statement:
(i) 
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(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.  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 SEC
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement; and
(iii) 
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not disclosed previously 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 information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Sections 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
(2)  That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, 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.
