NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2011
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 –FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q, the financial statements, footnote disclosures and other information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. The financial statements contained in this report are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The balance sheet at September 30, 2011 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2011 have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, and from inception (August 7, 2007) to December 31, 2011, the Company had a net loss of $461,831 and $3,227,943, respectively.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Stock based compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 “Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to an Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on the estimated fair values.
For non-employee stock-based compensation, the Company has adopted ASC Topic 505 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”, which requires stock-based compensation related to non-employees to be accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services on the grant date, whichever is more readily determinable in accordance with ASC Topic 505.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (continued)
Net Loss per Share
Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of the Company. The Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, therefore the accompanying presentation is only of basic loss per share.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these financial instruments. The notes payable are also considered financial instruments whose carrying amounts approximate fair values.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance, and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.
The Company’s fixed assets consist of computer equipment, which is valued at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over a period of four years.
NOTE 4 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AFFECTING THE COMPANY

Overview
American Power Corp (which we refer to herein as the “Company”, “us”, or “we”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada as a for-profit company on August 7, 2007. We are an exploration stage company whose intended business purpose is coal, oil, and natural gas exploration, development, and production. At the time of our incorporation, we were incorporated under the name “Teen Glow Makeup, Inc.” and our original business plan was to create a line of affordable teen makeup for girls. On November 20, 2009, Johannes Petersen acquired the majority of the shares of our issued and outstanding common stock in accordance with two stock purchase agreements by and between Mr. Petersen and Ms. Pamela Hutchinson, and Ms. Andrea Mizushima, respectively. On March 31, 2010, we changed our intended business purpose to that of coal, oil, and natural gas exploration, development, and production.
Our current primary business focus is to acquire, explore, and develop coal, oil, and gas exploration properties in the United States of North America, with a particular focus on the Rocky Mountain region. On March 30, 2010, our Board of Directors approved the proposal to change the Company’s name and to effect a 340 for 1 forward stock split. The Certificate of Change for the forward stock split was filed with and approved by the Nevada Secretary of State on April 28, 2010. Also on April 28, 2010, Articles of Amendment were filed and approved with the Nevada Secretary of State to change the name of the Corporation to American Power Corp. The Articles of Amendment also changed the authorized amount of capital stock to Five Hundred Million (500,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001.
Business Description and Plan of Operation
Our plan of operation is to acquire and explore mineral properties and prospects in order to ascertain whether they possess economic quantities of coal and/or hydrocarbons in accordance with available funds. There can be no assurance that an economic coal and/or hydrocarbon reserve exists on any of the exploration prospects we acquire until appropriate exploration work is completed.
Coal, oil, and gas exploration is typically conducted in phases. Each subsequent phase of exploration work is recommended by a geologist based on the results from the most recent phase of exploration. We have yet to acquire exploration properties, upon which we will commence the initial phase of exploration. We have acquired an assignment of certain contractual rights in coal and minerals located in Judith Basin County, Montana, collectively described as the “Pace Coal Project”, however these rights are speculative in nature and additional exploration work is required to determine their value. In that regard, an exploration drilling program consisting of three phases has been planned for the Pace Coal Project this year. Once we have completed each phase of the exploration drilling program, we will make a decision as to whether or not we proceed with the development of the Pace Coal Project based upon the analysis of the results of that program. Even if we complete our proposed exploration program on the Pace Coal Project or on other properties that we acquire in the future, and we are successful in identifying the presence of coal and/or hydrocarbons, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling, engineering studies, environmental, and mine feasibility studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable coal, oil, and gas deposit or reserve.
Market Overview for Plan of Operation
Coal production in the United States in 2010 reached a level of 1,085.3 million short tons (1,074.9 million short tons in 2009) according to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), an increase of 0.9% from the 2009 level. In spite of this increase, coal production in 2010 is still 7.4% lower than the level reached in 2008 (1,171.8 million short tons).
Coal consumption in the United States in 2010 reached a level of 1,048.3 million short tons (997.5 million short tons in 2009), an increase of 5.1% from the 2009 level, with all of the coal-consuming sectors experiencing higher consumption for the year, with the only exception of the commercial and institutional sector. Although all sectors had increases, the electric power sector (electric utilities and independent power producers), which consumed about 93% of all coal in the US in 2010, has been and continues to be the overriding force for determining total domestic coal consumption. In 2010, coal consumption for the electric power sector reached 975.6 million short tons, an increase of 4.5% from the 2009 level (933.6 million short tons). Coal consumption in the non-electric power sector (comprised of other industrial, coking coal, and the commercial and institutional sectors) increased 13.1% in 2010, after experiencing declines for five consecutive years. Coal consumption at coke plants increased by 37.6% to end 2010 at 21.1 million short tons (15.3 million short tons in 2009).
Total coal stockpiles have begun to return to pre-recession levels, decreasing in 2010 by 8.4% to end the year at 224.3 million short tons, after posting a record level of 244.8 million short tons in 2009.
Domestic coal prices continued to increase, rising for the seventh consecutive year. According to data for 2010, the average price of coal delivered to the electric power sector increased by 4.2% to $2.22 per million Btu over the 2009 level. The average delivered price of coal to the other industrial sector decreased by 1.0% to an average price of $64.24 per short ton in 2010 while the delivered price of coal to US coke plants increased by 7.4% to reach an average price of $153.59 per short ton. The average delivered price of coal to the commercial and institutional sector decreased in 2010 by 9.1% to $88.42 per short ton.
Western Region (includes Montana)
The Western Region is the largest coal-producing region in the US, concentrating 54.6% of total US coal production in 2010. Coal production in this region increased by 1.1% in 2010 to a total of 591.6 million short tons.
In 2010, Montana, the second largest coal-producing State in the Western Region, produced a total of 44.7 million short tons, an increase of 13.3% over the 2009 level.
