NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012
(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, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. These interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes there to included in the Annual Report on the Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2012 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, 2012, and from inception (August 7, 2007) to December 31, 2012, the Company had a net loss of $198,195 and $4,700,163, respectively. Accumulated deficit from inception (August 7, 2007) to December 31, 2012 is $4,775,233 and includes accumulated net loss and the effects of the 340 for 1 stock split effective April 30, 2010 resulting in a difference of $75,070.
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.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
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. Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, the accompanying presentation is only of basic loss per share.

NOTE 4 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AFFECTING THE COMPANY
There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements that impacted the first quarter of fiscal 2013, or which are expected to impact future periods, which were not already adopted and disclosed in prior periods.

The Amended Coal Promissory Note replaces the Coal Promissory Note, dated as of April 9, 2010, by the Company in favor of JBM.
On December 11, 2012, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the “Amended JBM Note”) in connection with that certain Amended and Restated Coal Buy and Sell Agreement (the “Coal Agreement”) dated as of March 26, 2012, by and between the Company and JBM Energy Company, LLC (“JBM”).

NOTE 5 – COAL AND OTHER MINERAL PROPERTIES - (continued)

Accordingly, the Company imputed a discount of $186,392 at a market interest rate of approximately 15% in accordance FASB ASC 835,”Interest”. Should the Company make all necessary payments as indicated, up until December 9, 2012 and completes the reserve study and mining plan as anticipated in the agreement, but defaults on the $1,250,000 balance, the coal property will be returned to JBM and the Company will receive a 40% equity interest in JBM and the $1,250,000 balance will be cancelled.

The Amended Mineral Promissory Note to facilitate the agreements is contracted at an interest rate substantially below market rates for similar types of mineral, oil and gas properties. Accordingly, the Company imputed a discount of $200,363 at a market interest rate of approximately 15% in accordance FASB ASC 835, “Interest”. If the Company defaults on Amended Mineral Promissory Note, Pace at his option may terminate the agreement and or initiate action for any other remedy under the law. At December 31, 2012, Amended Mineral Promissory Note is presented net of unamortized debt discount of $71,923 (September 30, 2012 - $109,775). The Company has made total interest payments of $31,250 as of December 31, 2012 on the Amended Mineral Promissory Note.
Under the Mineral Buy Sell Agreement, Pace is due a royalty equal to 20% of all royalties and other payments received by the Company as a result of any lease of the mineral property conveyed and 20% of all net cash proceeds and/or other consideration received by the Company from the sale or disposal of the mineral, oil and gas property.
Consulting Agreement
Pursuant to a Consulting Agreement dated as of February 4, 2010 between Pace and Future Gas assigned to the Company on March 31, 2010, Pace agreed to provide consulting services to Future Gas concerning the coal property conveyed to Future Gas by JBM in the Coal Buy and Sell Agreement, and other minerals conveyed to Future Gas by Pace in the Mineral Buy and Sell Agreement. Future Gas agreed to pay Pace $5,000 on the first day of the month following the closing date of the Coal Buy and Sell Agreement and on the first day of each following month for a period of one year subject to the option of Pace to extend this Consulting Agreement for two successive one year terms. Pace's rights to further compensation under this Consulting agreement will terminate upon termination of the Coal Buy and Sell Agreement by either party as authorized under said Coal Buy and Sell Agreement. Pace agreed to make himself available to perform consulting services for Future Gas for 5 days during each paid month. Future Gas had the option to require Pace to perform consulting services for an additional 5 days during each paid month for an additional $1,000 per each additional day. If Future Gas required more than 10 days per paid month, Pace had the option to decline or if accepted, Future Gas agreed to pay Pace $500 per each additional day. The Consulting Agreement is for services received by the Company after the purchase of the mineral property and is accounted for as an expense in the statements of operations. On December 11, 2012, the Company agreed to give Pace the right and option to extend the Consulting Agreement for an additional one (1) year term from and after April 9, 2013.

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 purchases 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.
“In light of our current financial condition, we are also exploring other potential strategic alternatives, including joint venture arrangements or the sale of the PACE Coal Property, and are considering retaining an investment banker to assist us with this process.”

On December 11, 2012, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the “Amended JBM Note”) in connection with that certain Amended and Restated Coal Buy and Sell Agreement (the “Coal Agreement”) dated as of March 26, 2012, by and between the Company and JBM Energy Company, LLC (“JBM”). The Amended JBM Note replaces the Amended and Restated Promissory Note with JBM Energy dated March 26, 2012 to provide that the next payment of $100,000 due to JBM will now be due upon the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days following the effective date of the registration statement on Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement") which the Company has filed with respect to that certain Amended and Restated Standby Equity Distribution Agreement dated as of June 13, 2012 by and between the Company and YA Global Master SPV Ltd. (the “Amended SEDA”) and (ii) March 9, 2013, instead of December 9, 2012 as previously provided.
Also on December 11, 2012, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the “Amended Pace Note”) in connection with that certain Amended and Restated Mineral Buy and Sell Agreement (the “Mineral Agreement”) dated as of March 26, 2012, by and between the Company and Russell B. Pace, Jr. (“Pace”). The Amended Pace Note replaces the Amended and Restated Promissory Note with Pace dated March 26, 2012 to provide that the next payment of $100,000 due to Pace will now be due upon the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days following the effective date of the Registration Statement and (ii) March 9, 2013, instead of December 9, 2012 as previously provided. The Amended Pace Note also provides that the next payment of $200,000 due to Pace will now be due upon the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days following the effective date of the Registration Statement and (ii) March 9, 2013, instead of December 9, 2012 as previously provided.
While we expect to use issuances of Common Stock pursuant to the SEDA once it is available and engage in further financings with Black Sands to obtain additional working capital, we will require additional funding to execute our business plan, including the continuation of the PACE Coal Project. Our plan is to obtain such additional resources by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet our minimal operating expenses and to seek additional equity and/or debt financing. However, we cannot provide assurances that we will be successful in accomplishing any of these plans. Our failure to secure additional funding to implement our business plan will significantly affect our ability to continue operations. We do not have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our stated plan of operation for the next twelve months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2012, we had no existing off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC rules.
