The  sole  purpose  of  this  Post-Effective  Amendment  No.  1 to  Registration
Statement No. 333-174194 is to withdraw from registration certain shares covered
by the Registration Statement. Since no changes are being made to the prospectus
included in the Registration  Statement,  the Prospectus is not included in this
filing.

The Registration  Statement  covered the sale of up to 15,600,000  shares of the
common stock of Vanguard Energy  Corporation.  Of this amount,  5,760,000 shares
are issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase  Vanguard's common stock. The
5,760,000  shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants are being withdrawn
from  registration  as those shares are being  registered by means of a separate
registration statement (333-187697).
