PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

Prospective investors should consider carefully the information discussed under Risk Factors and Use of Proceeds sections, commencing on Page 3 and Page 10, respectively. An investment in our securities presents substantial risks, and you could lose all or substantially all of your investment.  
 
BioPower is a development stage renewable energy company, with no operations and revenues to date, focused on growing biomass energy crops including trees and bamboo (“biomass feedstock”) that can be converted into electricity and biofuels. We intend to operate our Company through three wholly-owned subsidiaries, BioPower Corporation, Global Energy Crops Corporation and Green Oil Plantations Americas Inc. BioPower Corporation has the exclusive license for the United States, Central America, Guam, and Mexico from Clenergen Corporation to utilize their biomass growing technologies. Clenergen Corporation is a public company which utilizes genetics applied to selected tree species, namely, Marjestica, Melia dubia and Bamboo. Clenergen only began generating revenues in 2010. Green Oil Plantations Americas has the exclusive license for North, Central, South America and the Caribbean from Green Oil Plantations Ltd. and their affiliates to utilize their biomass growing technologies and turnkey plantation management to grow biomass energy crops. As a development stage company, our plan is to grow biomass energy crops by (1) acquiring land, (2) joint venturing with land owners who have land which cannot grow food and would like to grow energy crops and (3) joint venturing with project funding sources looking to acquire land and grow energy crops. We then intend to sell the biomass feedstock that can be used for the generation of electricity or conversion to biofuels.

Through this Offering, we are seeking to raise on a best efforts basis up to $5,000,000 from the sale of 10,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share.  This is the maximum amount, and there is no minimum amount.  We have no intention to return any funds raised to investors if the maximum amount is not raised.

We will use our best efforts to raise the entire $5,000,000 under this Offering in order to proceed with our business plan.  However, should we not be successful in doing so, we will be required to adjust our business plan according to the amounts raised, which may have a material and adverse effect on our operations.  As a specific example, should we only be able to raise 25% of the amount being sought, we anticipate we will have only very limited working capital, and would therefore be required to raise additional funds.  If we are unable to do so, our entire business could fail. Notwithstanding, even if we raise the entire $5,000,000, we will need substantial additional financing to implement our business plan to the point of commencing an energy crop growing operation.
  
Should  we be successful  in raising  the entire  $5,000,000,  and together  with  our existing  cash  in hand,  we will  have  sufficient  resources  to  fund business development activities for one year.

We have elected to make this public Offering of securities to raise the funds that are necessary to establish our business development activities for growing biomass energy crops in the United States, Central America, Mexico, Guam and other countries.  Our decision to finance our activities through this Offering is based on a presumption that we will be more successful by offering securities under an effective registration statement than through a private offering of equity or through debt financing.  There can be no assurance that we will sell all or any of the shares being offered, and if we are unable to sell all of the shares, our ability to implement the plan of operations as identified in this Offering may be materially and adversely affected as further identified under the Use of Proceeds section commencing on Page 10.

Following is a brief summary of this Offering:

Securities being offered:
 
Up to 27,250,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, of which 10,000,000 shares are part of the direct public offering, and 17,250,000 are being offered for sale by existing stockholders, including up to 1,000,000 shares which may be issued upon exercise of a warrant for the purchase of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share.
Offering price per share:
 
$0.50
     
Offering period:
 
The shares are being offered for a period not to exceed 90 days from the effectiveness of this Prospectus, unless extended by our Board of Directors for an additional 90 days.

Net proceeds to us:
 
$5,000,000, based on the maximum 10,000,000 shares being sold. There is no assurance that we will be successful in selling this entire amount.  Furthermore, there is no minimum amount of shares that may be sold under this Offering, and we have no intention to return funds raised  to investors should we sell lesser amounts than the maximum, even if the amounts raised are not sufficient to fully undertake our plan as identified in this Prospectus.
 
The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders. However, the Company may receive up to $1,000,000 in the event that the warrant described herein is exercised for the purchase of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock.
     
Use of proceeds:
 
If we are successful in raising the entire $5,000,000, we intend to use the proceeds to pay administrative and legal costs, further the implementation of our business plan, and to provide additional working capital to the Company.
 
If we are unsuccessful in raising the entire amount under this Offering our ability to implement the business plan as identified in this Prospectus may be materially and adversely affected. Refer to Use of Proceeds section commencing on Page 10 for additional information.
     
Number of shares outstanding before the Offering:
 
90,250,000
Number of shares outstanding after  the Offering if all the shares are sold:
 
100,250,000

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities should be considered highly speculative due to various factors, including the nature of our business and the present stage of our development.  An investment in our securities should only be undertaken by persons who have sufficient financial resources to afford the total loss of their investment.  In addition to the usual risks associated with investment in a business, you should carefully consider the following known material risk factors and all other information contained in this Prospectus before deciding to invest in our Common Stock.  If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.  

Risks Relating to our Business

We are subject to a going concern opinion from our independent auditors.

Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit issued in connection with the financial statements for the period ended November 30, 2010, relative to our ability to continue as a going concern.  We had a working capital deficit of ($1,333) and we had a deficit accumulated during the development stage of ($1,334), as at November 30, 2010. Because our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, it means there is substantial uncertainty we will continue operations in which case you could lose your investment.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue our business. As such we may have to cease operations and investors could lose their entire investment.

We have had no operations to date and have earned no revenues to date.

We have had no operations to date and no revenues.  We expect to incur losses at least in the first year, and possibly beyond, due to significant costs associated with our business development. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement our business plan, or that our business development will ever lead to us generating sufficient revenues to fund our continuing operations or that we will ever generate positive cash flow from our operations.  Further, we can give no assurance that we will attain or thereafter sustain profitability in any future period. Since our resources are presently very limited, insufficient future revenues would result in termination of our operations, as we cannot sustain unprofitable operations, unless additional equity or debt financing is obtained.

We have had no operations to date, and are competing with well-established companies in our business sector, and may never achieve profitability.

To date the Company has been focused on raising money and filing this registration statement. We are faced with all of the risks associated with a company in the early stages of development. Our business is subject to numerous risks associated with a relatively new, undercapitalized company engaged in our business sector. Such risks include, but are not limited to, competition from well-established and well-capitalized companies and unanticipated difficulties regarding the marketing and sale of our products. There can be no assurance that we will ever generate significant commercial sales or achieve profitability. Should this be the case, our common stock could become worthless and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.

We need to obtain a significant amount of debt and/or equity capital to commence acquiring land and growing and managing energy crops, which we may not be able to obtain on acceptable terms or at all.
 
We will require additional capital to fund our business and development plan, including the acquisition of land and planting and management of biomass energy crops (“biomass operations”).  In addition, once these farms have been planted, we will have to fund the start-up costs of these biomass operations until, if ever, the biomass is sold and generates sufficient cash flow. We may also encounter unforeseen costs that could also require us to seek additional capital. As a result, we expect to seek to raise additional debt and/or equity funding. The full and timely development and implementation of our business plan and growth strategy will require significant additional resources, and we may not be able to obtain the funding necessary to implement our growth strategy on acceptable terms or at all. An inability to obtain such funding would prevent us from planting any tree farms or plantations.  Furthermore, our plantation strategy may not produce revenues even if successfully funded. We have not yet identified the sources for the additional financing we require and we do not have commitments from any third parties to provide this financing. We might not succeed, therefore, in raising additional equity capital or in negotiating and obtaining additional and acceptable financing. Our ability to obtain additional capital will also depend on market conditions, national and global economies and other factors beyond our control. We might not be able to obtain required working capital, the need for which is substantial given our business and development plan. The terms of any future debt or equity funding that we may obtain may be unfavorable to us and to our stockholders.
 
        We have limited financial and management resources to pursue our growth strategy.
 
Our growth strategy may place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources. We have negative cash flow from our development stage activities and continue to seek additional capital. We will have to obtain additional capital either through debt or equity financing to continue our business and development plan. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to our company.

If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible securities, these new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common shares. Additionally, the percentage of ownership of our company held by existing shareholders will be reduced.
 
Our proposed business may be adversely affected if one or both of our license agreements with Clenergen and Green Oil Plantations, Ltd. is terminated.
 
Although we believe our relationships with our Licensors are very good, our license agreements do provide that the Licensors may terminate such Agreements.  In the Green Oil Plantations, Ltd. agreement, the Licensor, after two years, can give notice of termination in the event that certain events occur. Such events include but are not limited to, our failure to perform or observe any of our obligations, or the filing of bankruptcy. In the Clenergen License Agreement, Clenergen has the right to terminate the agreement immediately by providing notice in writing in the event of our failure to perform or observe any of our obligations, the filing of bankruptcy or the licensee challenging the validity of any of Clenergen’s licensed technologies.
In the event that one or both of the license agreements are terminated by the licensors as provided in the license agreements, our business and operations will be materially and adversely affected.
 
We will be dependent on third parties for expertise in the management of our Biomass plantations and any loss or impairment of these relationships could cause delay and added expense. In addition, we currently have no binding definitive agreements with such parties and their failure to perform could hinder our ability to generate revenues.
 
The number of biomass plantation management companies with the necessary expertise to manage the biomass plantations is limited. We will be dependent on our relationships with third parties for their expertise. Any loss of, or damage to, these relationships, particularly during the planting and start-up period for the plantation(s), may significantly delay or even prevent us from continuing operations at these plantations and result in the failure of our business. The time and expense of locating new plantation management companies could result in unforeseen expenses and delays. Unforeseen expenses and delays may reduce our ability to generate revenue and significantly damage our competitive position in the industry.
 
We will be required to hire and retain skilled technical and managerial personnel.
 
Personnel qualified to operate and manage our future plantations and product sales are in great demand. Our success depends in large part on our ability to attract, train, motivate and retain qualified management and skilled employees, particularly managerial, technical, sales and marketing personnel, technicians, and other critical personnel. Any failure to attract and retain the highly-trained managerial and technical personnel may have a negative impact on our operations, which would have a negative impact on our future revenues. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain skilled persons; and, the loss of skilled technical personnel would adversely affect our company.
 
We are dependent upon our officers for management and direction, and the loss of any of these persons could adversely affect our operations and results.
 
We are dependent upon our officers for execution of our business plan, especially Mr. Robert Kohn, our Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and a Director. The loss of Mr. Kohn or any of our other officers could have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations and financial position. We do not maintain “key person” life insurance for any of our officers. The loss of any of our officers could delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives.
 
Delays or defects could result in delays in our proposed future production and sale of energy from Biomass and negatively affect our operations and financial performance.
 
Projects often involve delays for a number of reasons including delays in obtaining permits, delays due to weather conditions, or other events. Also, any changes in political administrations at each level that result in policy changes towards energy produced from Biomass could also cause delays. If it takes us longer to plant our proposed plantations, our ability to generate revenues could be impaired. In addition, there can be no assurance that defects in materials and/or workmanship will not occur. Such defects could delay the commencement of operations of the plantation or cause us to halt or discontinue the plantation’s operation or reduce the intended production capacity. Halting or discontinuing plantation operations could delay our ability to generate revenues.
 
Our proposed plantation sites may have unknown environmental problems that could be expensive and time consuming to correct which may delay or halt planting and delay our ability to generate revenue.
 
Liability costs associated with environmental cleanups of contaminated sites historically have been very high as have been the level of fines imposed by regularity authorities upon parties deemed to be responsible for environmental contamination. If contamination should take place for which we are deemed to be liable, potentially liable or a responsible party, the resulting costs could have a material effect on our business. This risk is mitigated by our program of supplying organic fertilizer and pesticides to each location where we are cultivating trees and/or bamboo for the purpose of Biomass.
 
We may encounter hazardous conditions at or near each of our proposed facility sites that may delay or prevent planting at a particular location.  If we encounter a hazardous condition at or near a site, work may be suspended and we may be required to correct the condition prior to continuing the plantation. The presence of a hazardous condition would likely delay or prevent planting at a particular location and may require significant expenditure of resources to correct the condition.  If we encounter any hazardous condition during planting, estimated sales and profitability may be adversely affected.
 
Changes in environmental regulations or violations of the regulations could be expensive and hinder our ability to operate profitably.
 
We are and will continue to be subject to extensive air, water and other environmental regulations and will need to maintain a number of environmental permits to plant and operate our future plantations. If for any reason, any of these permits are not granted, costs for the plantations may increase, or the plantations may not be planted at all. Additionally, any changes in environmental laws and regulations could require us to invest or spend considerable resources in order to comply with future environmental regulations. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in liabilities that affect our financial condition and the expense of compliance alone could be significant enough to reduce profits.

Our joint ventures and strategic alliances may not achieve their goals.
 
We expect to rely on joint ventures and strategic alliances for land acquisition and development, plantation, planting, growing and management, sale and marketing of products, funding of projects and project development. Even if we are successful in forming these alliances, they may not achieve their goals.
 
Dependence upon our officers without whose services Company Operations could cease.

At this time two of our officers in particular, Robert Kohn and Dale Shepherd, both of whom have extensive experience in the energy and fuels business, are primarily responsible for the development and execution of our business plan.  Both individuals have long-term employment contracts with the Company commencing January and February, 2011, respectively, however after 5 years and 2 years, respectively, these contracts may be terminated by the officers, with payout provisions applicable.  If either of our two officers should choose to leave us for any reason before we have hired additional personnel, our operations may fail. Even if we are able to find additional personnel, it is uncertain whether we could find qualified management who could develop our business along the lines described herein or would be willing to work for compensation the Company could afford.  Without such management, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment. We do not maintain “key person” life insurance for any of our officers and will be implementing a D&O Insurance policy in the near future.

Because there is no minimum share sale requirement, it is possible that we will fail to adequately fund our operations even if we raise some funds from this Offering.

This Offering is not subject to any minimum share sale requirement.  Consequently, the early investor is not assured of any other, later shares being sold.  You may be the only purchaser.  If we fail to sell the entire amount under this Offering, we may never be able to adequately fund our operations and your investment would be lost. Please refer to the Use of Proceeds section starting on Page 10 for additional information on, and risks associated with, different levels of success in our funding efforts.

We do not have a traditional credit facility with a financial institution. This absence may adversely impact our operations.

We do not have a traditional credit facility with a financial institution, such as a working line of credit. The absence of a facility could adversely impact our operations, as it may constrain our ability to have the working capital for inventory purchases or other operational requirements. If adequate funds are not otherwise available, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate portions of our business development efforts.  Without credit facilities, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.

Our inability to successfully achieve a critical mass of sales could adversely affect our financial condition.

No assurance can be given that we will be able to successfully achieve a critical mass of sales in order to cover our operating expenses and achieve sustainable profitability.  Without such critical mass of sales, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.

Other companies with greater resources and operating experience offer products similar to or the same as the products we sell.

We intend to operate in a very competitive industry with many established and well-recognized competitors. These competitors range from large, international oil companies such as Shell, Exxon-Mobil, BP, who have announced plans to create renewable energy projects and International Paper to smaller renewable energy companies and tree growing companies. Most of our competitors (including all of the competitors named above) have substantially greater market leverage, distribution networks, and vendor relationships, longer operating histories and industry experience, greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources, more name recognition and larger customer bases than we do and potentially may react strongly to our marketing efforts. Other competitive responses might include, without limitation, intense and aggressive price competition and offers of employment to our key marketing or management personnel. We may not be successful in the face of increasing competition from existing or new competitors, or the competition may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  If we are not successful in competing with our competitors, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.

Our future sales and marketing efforts may not lead to sales of our products.

Our sales and marketing efforts have not yet commenced, and we believe we will have to establish significant sales and marketing capabilities in order to establish sufficient awareness to launch broader sales of our energy products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to expand our sales and marketing efforts to the extent we believe necessary or that any such efforts, if undertaken, will be successful in achieving substantial sales of our products.  If we are unable to expand our sales and marketing efforts, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.

The average selling prices of our products, and our gross margins resulting from the sale of such products, may decline as a result of industry trends, competitive pressures and other factors.
 
The renewable energy industry has experienced a significant shift in awareness due to a number of factors, particularly competitive and macroeconomic pressures and shortages of oil in the future. Our competitors have announced spending billions of dollars on tree and bamboo growing programs.  This may lower sales prices from time to time in order to gain market share or create more demand. We may have to reduce the sales prices of our products in response to such intense pricing competition, which could cause our gross margins to decline and may adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition.  If we cannot maintain adequate profit margins on the sales of our products, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.

Our failure to manage growth effectively could impair our success.

In order for us to expand successfully, management will be required to anticipate the changing demands of a growth in operations, should such growth occur, and to adapt systems and procedures accordingly. There can be no assurance that we will anticipate all of the changing demands that a potential expansion in operations might impose. If we were to experience rapid growth, we might be required to hire and train a large number of sales and support personnel, and there can be no assurance that the training and supervision of a large number of new employees would not adversely affect the high standards that we seek to maintain. Our future will depend, in part, on our ability to integrate new individuals and capabilities into our operations, should such operations expand in the future, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve such integration. Failure to manage growth effectively during an expansion in our operations (should such an expansion occur) could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Changes in generally accepted accounting principles could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, revenue and results of operations.

We are subject to changes in and interpretations of financial accounting matters that govern the measurement of our performance. Based on our reading and interpretations of relevant guidance, principles or concepts issued by, among other authorities, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, our management believes that our current contract terms and business arrangements have been properly reported. However, there continue to be issued interpretations and guidance for applying the relevant standards to a wide range of contract terms and business arrangements that are prevalent in the industries in which we operate. Future interpretations or changes by the regulators of existing accounting standards or changes in our business practices could result in future changes in our revenue recognition and/or other accounting policies and practices that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, revenue and results of operations.

The Company is controlled by its officers and directors and new investors will not have any voice in our management, which could result in decisions adverse to them.

Should this Offering be fully subscribed, our directors and officers collectively own or have the right to vote approximately 37.56% of our then outstanding Common Shares. In addition, on January 28, 2011, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock. The Certificate was approved by the Board and did not require shareholder vote.  The Certificate created a new class of preferred stock known as Series A Preferred Stock. There is one share designated as Series A Preferred Stock. One share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to 50.1% of the outstanding votes on all shareholder voting matters. Series A Preferred Stock has no dividend rights and no rights upon a liquidation event.  On January 31, 2011, the Company issued one share of Series A Preferred Stock to China Energy Partners, LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Robert Kohn, our Chief Executive Officer and a Director and Ms. Bonnie Nelson, a Director, with each owning 50% of that entity.  Through this entity, Mr. Kohn and Ms. Nelson are empowered with supermajority voting rights despite the amount of outstanding voting securities they each own.

As a result they will have the ability to control substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval including:
 
 
-
election of our board of directors;

 
-
removal of any of our directors;

 
-
amendment of our Articles of Incorporation or By-laws; and

 
-
adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving us.

In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by selling stockholders, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Shares. Preferred stock and common stock ownership of our principal stockholders and our officers and directors may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

We will incur significant increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), have imposed various requirements on public companies, including requiring establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these new compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time consuming and costly. We expect these rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to incur substantial costs to maintain the same or similar coverage.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. As a smaller reporting company, while we are not required to obtain the attestation of our accounting firm regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management is still required to assess the effectiveness of such internal controls. If we are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or if we are not able to remediate any deficiencies, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.

Risks Relating to our Common Shares and the Trading Market

We may, in the future, issue additional Common Shares which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 500,000,000 Common Shares with par value of $0.0001 per share and 10,000 shares of Preferred Stock with par value of $1.00 per share. The future issuance of our authorized Common Shares and Preferred Stock, to the extent that it is convertible into shares of common stock, may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our Common Shares held by our then existing stockholders.  We may value any Common Shares issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of Common Shares for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the Common Shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our Common Shares.

Because of the early stage of development and the nature of our business, our securities are considered highly speculative.

Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of the nature of our business and the early stage of its development.  We are seeking to commence a new business in the highly competitive renewable energy industry, and we have yet to establish or operate our first planned energy crop growing operation.  Accordingly, we have not generated any revenues nor have we realized a profit from our operations to date, and there is little likelihood that we will generate any revenues or realize any profits in the short to medium term.  Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon our successfully implementing our business plan, which itself is subject to numerous risk factors as set forth herein.  Since we have not generated any revenues, we will have to raise additional monies through the sale of our equity securities or debt in order to undertake our business operations.  

There is no current trading market for our securities and if a trading market does not develop, purchasers of our securities may have difficulty selling their shares.

There is currently no established public trading market for our securities and an active trading market in our securities may not develop or, if developed, may not be sustained.  We intend to have a market maker apply for admission to quotation of our Common Shares on the OTC Bulletin Board.  If for any reason our Common Shares are not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or a public trading market does not otherwise develop, purchasers of the Common Shares may have difficulty selling their shares should they desire to do so.  No market makers have committed to becoming market makers for our Common Shares and it may be that none will do so.

Our Common Shares are subject to the “Penny Stock” Rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a "penny stock" to be any equity security other than a security excluded from such definition by Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  For the purposes relevant to our Company, it is any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.

If our shares are accepted for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, it is anticipated that our Common Shares will be regarded as a “penny stock”, since our shares aren’t to be listed on a national stock exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ Market within the United States, to the extent the market price for our shares is less than $5.00 per share.  The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, to provide the customer with additional information including current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account, and to make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction.  To the extent these requirements may be applicable they will reduce the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the Common Shares and may severely and adversely affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Common Shares.

United States securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which and conditions under which you can sell the shares offered by this Offering.

Secondary trading in Common Shares sold in this Offering will not be possible in any state in the U.S. unless and until the Common Shares are qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in such state. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in registering or qualifying the Common Shares for secondary trading, or identifying an available exemption for secondary trading in our Common Shares in every state.  If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, the Common Shares in any particular state, the Common Shares could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state.  In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our Common Shares, the market for the Common Shares could be adversely affected.

We have not and do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our Common Shares, and consequently our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business.  We have not, and do not, anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Shares in the foreseeable future.  Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

The elimination of monetary liability against the Company’s directors, officers and employees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights to the Company’s directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by the Company and may discourage lawsuits against the Company’s directors, officers and employees.

The Company’s certificate of incorporation contains a specific provision that eliminates the liability of directors for monetary damages to the Company and the Company’s stockholders; further, the Company is prepared to give such indemnification to its directors and officers to the extent provided by Nevada law. The Company may also have contractual indemnification obligations under its employment agreements with its executive officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in the Company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which the Company may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage the Company from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by the Company’s stockholders against the Company’s directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its stockholders.

If we do not comply with the state regulations in regard to the sale of these securities or find an exemption therefrom there may be potential limitations on the resale of your stock.

With few exceptions, every offer or sale of a security must, before it is offered or sold in a state, be registered or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky laws, of the state(s) in which the security is offered and sold. Similarly, every brokerage firm, every issuer selling its own securities and an individual broker or issuer representative (i.e., finder) engaged in selling securities in a state, must also be registered in the state, or otherwise exempt from such registration requirements. Most states securities laws are modeled after the Uniform Securities Act of 1956 ("USA"). To date, approximately 40 states use the USA as the basis for their state blue sky laws.

However, although most blue sky laws are modeled after the USA, blue sky statutes vary widely and there is very little uniformity among state securities laws. Therefore, it is vital that each state's statutes and regulations be reviewed before embarking upon any securities sales activities in a state to determine what is permitted, or not permitted, in a particular state. While we intend to review the blue sky laws before the distribution of any securities in a particular state, should we fail to properly register the securities as required by the respective states or find an exemption from registration, then you may not be able to resell your stock once purchased. As of this date, we intend to offer our common stock upon effectiveness of this prospectus in Texas, California, Oregon, Washington, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, Washington, D.C., Maryland, Florida, Connecticut, Arizona, Nevada and Massachusetts.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We plan to raise up to $5,000,000 dollars from the sale of 10,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share.  This Offering has a maximum amount of $5,000,000 dollars and no minimum.  We have no intention to return any stock sales proceeds to investors if the maximum amount is not raised.  

All proceeds from the sale of the 16,250,000 shares from the selling stockholders will be paid directly to those stockholders, and the Company will not receive proceeds therefrom. However, we may receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrant to purchase 1,000,000 common shares at $1.00 per share if and to the extent that such warrant is exercised by the selling stockholder.

We will use our best efforts to raise the entire $5,000,000 under this Offering in order to fully proceed with our business plan.  However, should we not be successful in doing so, we will be required to adjust our business plan according to the amounts raised, which may have a material and adverse effect on our operations.  The following table outlines our planned use of proceeds based on different percentages of shares sold and the corresponding proceeds raised:

Business Development Costs
 
Business development costs are a budgeted amount which will be used for the development of projects and be subject to the amount of funds available at any given time. We estimate a budget of $400,000 for the total development costs necessary to identify a location for a biomass project, do the due diligence and produce a completed feasibility study, including the business model.  As indicated, our goal is to implement one biomass project over the first twelve months. If there are more funds available, the Company may commence the development of more projects.

 
(1)
The estimated budget per potential project of $400,000 is for business development costs which include feasibility studies, travel, engineering, contractors, negotiations with third party purchasers of products produced, presentations to governments, municipalities and prospective joint venture partners, licenses, legal and accounting costs prior to the project being approved. Our licensors have stated that each feasibility study will generally cost between $25,000 up to a maximum of $100,000 according to the complexity of each potential location.
 
 
(2)
Consultants and advisors represent a budgeted amount which will vary according to funds available.  These consultants and advisors are not project specific and represent expertise in such fields as agronomy, bioenergy, end product development and  technology.
 
We will be limited as to the number of projects we can develop by the funds available for business development. After we are effective, as we increase the amount of shares sold under this Offering, we will be able to develop more potential projects from the additional funds available. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining funding for our first biomass project even if we raise 100% of the proceeds from this Offering.
 
The BioPower Business Development Process

The Company anticipates implementing the following business development processes upon receiving funds from the Offering:
 
Project Marketing
 
Market our general biomass project business model to land owners and/or project funding sources.
 
Project Feasibility Study and Business Model
   
Once potential project funding sources are matched with a specific land opportunity, BioPower will initiate the process to prepare a feasibility study for the specific project by identifying what it believes is the best energy crop to grow at a specific site. The feasibility study will include a business model for the specific land opportunity and will be prepared by one of our licensors as determined by us after we have identified an energy crop for the specific site.  If, for example, SilverLeaf or Millettia would be the best energy crop for the site, then we would have Green Oil prepare the feasibility study.  If however, Marjestica, Melia dubia or bamboo would be the best energy crop for the site, then we would have Clenergen prepare the feasibility study.  Regardless of the licensor chosen to prepare the feasibility study, however, BioPower will not prepare any aspect of the feasibility study but will gather local information regarding permitting processes (if any), local labor costs, equipment costs, construction costs, soil reports, weather, irrigation and many other local details, for the licensor, so that they can prepare the feasibility study and the business model for the specific site.

The information used in the preparation of this business model would include: land acquisition cost; soil and environmental analyses; permitting costs; capital costs for buildings; equipment; seedlings; land preparation; planting, irrigation; operating costs; personnel needs and costs; available markets and purchase prices for products; buyers’ letters of intent if obtainable; evaluation of the regulatory situation at that time; availability of governmental subsidies, loans and/or grants.  The feasibility study would include a narrative of the project including the business model consisting of a multi-year financial projection of revenues and profitability, cash flow and return on investment.
   
Once the feasibility study is finalized, the Company will present it to the project funding sources for funding approval.
 
If the feasibility study meets the investment criteria of a potential project funding source, an offer is presented to us.
Approval of Feasibility Study
Once we have a project funding source offer, then the total project is submitted to the BioPower Board of Directors for final approval.  When the final approval is granted, then BioPower will execute agreements, hire the required personnel and establish contractual relationships in order to start the project.
BioPower will also execute, with the selected Licensor, the contracts to provide seedlings, project implementation and plantation management services.  BioPower will oversee the project and make sure that the use of proceeds for the project in the business model is spent accordingly.
At this time we have not moved forward with anyone to negotiate for potential land, prepare a feasibility study, nor have we presented anything to potential project funding sources for their consideration.  There can be no assurance that we will ever receive funding approval to do our first biomass project.
 
We executed a sublease agreement on March 18, 2011 for 2,000 square feet of office space for 26 months and will cost us approximately $50,000 per year, including all furniture and office equipment.  We moved into our new corporate headquarters as of April 1, 2011 at 1000 Corporate Drive, Suite 200, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33334.  Our new phone number is 954-607-2800. The Company is paying its rent out of its working capital referenced in the Use of Proceeds table.
 
Biomass Project Costs
 
Our business plan calls for the implementation of one biomass project over the first twelve months.  The biomass project is the growing of energy crops at a specific location.  The biomass project costs will vary from project to project because of the specific nature and size of the land to be used with factors such as soil conditions, water conditions, weather, road infrastructure  conditions and other factors related to the specific location.   The costs do not include conversion technology which may be used to convert the biomass and green oil produced to bio fuels and electricity, which may or may not be part of the biomass project.  The biomass products  can be sold  to users of such  products.  The total costs of a biomass project can only be determined  by doing a feasibility  study which will be performed  by our Company personnel and the Licensors.  In order to implement  our first project we must raise funds for the funding  of the  first  biomass  project.  The biomass project costs are  separate  and  apart  from  the  funds  being  raised  through  this  Offering. The  project funding  source  will determine, after their review of the feasibility study, whether or not the project economics meets their funding criteria.  To date, we have made no arrangements with our licensors to prepare a feasibility study and no arrangements have been made with any project funding sources.  There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining funding for our first biomass project even if we raise 100% of the proceeds from this Offering.
 
We believe that, based on recommendations from both of our licensors, the basic minimum size to target for an economically viable project outside of the United States is approximately 2,500 acres with an approximate cost of $35,000,000 to $50,000,000 to cover all cash needs including operating and capital costs such as buildings, machinery and equipment, irrigation, roads, seedlings and land until cash flow positive. In contrast, we believe that, based on recommendations from both of our licensors, the basic minimum target size for an economically viable project in the United States is 250 acres with an approximate cost of three to five million dollars to cover all cash needs including operating and capital costs such as buildings, machinery and equipment, irrigation, seedlings and land until cash flow positive. The main reason for this contrast in plantation size is that the United States has an excellent road network and the markets are established for a plantation’s products; therefore, a smaller plantation size of 250 acres can be financially viable. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining funding for our first biomass project even if we raise 100% of the proceeds from this Offering.

Under all the scenarios above, we will be able to operate the Company for one year by reducing expenditures in line with the monies raised.
 
In the event we are able to sell only 25% of the shares under this Offering, we believe we have sufficient funds from our proceeds raised to allocate the necessary funds required to further continue business development activities. We would pay costs associated with setting up corporate headquarters. We would seek to raise the remaining $3,750,000 identified as being optimal for establishing our business development activities. Under this scenario we will have limited working capital and therefore there is a chance of our business failing. Our officers would accrue, but not be paid, a salary in this circumstance.
 
Should we only be able to sell 50% of the shares under this Offering we would expend the funds as detailed above to set up the corporate office, business development costs and working capital. After we raise $2,500,000 our executives would be paid their accrued salaries to date and then their salaries would be paid bi-weekly for up to one year including the accrual period. Annual salaries would be paid to Robert Kohn of $200,000, Dale Shepherd $150,000 and Bonnie Nelson $125,000. Our working capital would in this situation be approximately $ 1,175,000 total. The raise of $2,500,000 is sufficient to increase business development activities.
 
We would seek to raise the remaining $2,500,000 as soon as possible, in order to continue our business plan fully.   However, there is no assurance we will be successful in doing so.  If we are unable to raise the funds, we will be in a position whereby a substantial amount of funds has been invested into trying to develop one biomass project but we won’t have a solid foundation for further growth and expansion.
 
If we are able to sell 75% of the shares under the Offering, we believe that we will have sufficient funds to generally effect our business plan and have business development funds necessary for the development of our first biomass project.  Our executives would be paid their accrued salaries to date and then their salaries and benefits would be paid bi-weekly for up to one year including the accrual period.  Annual salaries would be paid to Robert Kohn of $200,000, Dale Shepherd $150,000 and Bonnie Nelson $125,000. We would still seek to raise the remaining $1,250,000, and we believe this should be less challenging to accomplish, though there is no assurance of success. If we cannot raise the required funds, we won’t have a solid foundation for further growth and expansion.
      
In any of the three scenarios representing our not selling 100% of the shares under the Offering, we will be able to advance our business plan to varying degrees: we still will be required to raise additional capital in some manner that we have not yet identified, in order to achieve the level of progress in our business plan identified in the 100% scenario. If we are unsuccessful in doing so, the risks to an investor in this Prospectus are increased, particularly in the 25% and 50% scenarios. In all these situations, management will accrue but will not be paid their salary until $2,500,000 has been raised either through the Offering or in some other fashion.  At that point, our executives would be paid their accrued salaries to date and then their salaries would be paid bi-weekly for up to one year including the accrual period.  Annual salaries would be paid to Robert Kohn of $200,000, Dale Shepherd $150,000 and Bonnie Nelson $125,000.
    
Should we raise the entire $5,000,000 we are seeking from this Offering, we will have sufficient funds for our activities for the twelve month period following the completion of this Offering (“Initial Period”), inclusive of having paid $50,000 towards our permanent corporate headquarters and $3,250,000 towards our business development costs. Our working capital would then be $1,700,000 plus the approximately $225,000 working capital already on hand. This is expected to be sufficient to pay for the business development costs and feasibility studies to obtain  financing for our first biomass project during the Initial Period.  Our executives would be paid their accrued salaries to date and then their salaries and benefits will be paid bi-weekly for up to one year including the accrual period. Annual salaries would be paid to Robert Kohn of $200,000, Dale Shepherd $150,000 and Bonnie Nelson $125,000.  We would then be required to raise additional funds, for which we have not identified any sources at this time. There can be no assurance that even though we prepare feasibility studies , that we will be able to obtain the necessary financing required for our first fully operating biomass project.

In the event that we sell less than 25% of the shares in this Offering, we will have a Use of Proceeds which will follow the below budget:
 
Establishment of permanent corporate headquarters
  $ 50,000  
Legal and Accounting
  $ 125,000  
Business development costs and working capital
  $ 125,000  
Total Use of Proceeds
  $ 300,000  
 
The initial $300,000 raise will be applied to establishment of permanent headquarters, legal and accounting, business development costs and working capital.  Working capital will include the cost of an administrative employee, approximately $45,000-$50,000 plus related  payroll taxes, medical benefits and office expenses.
 
As of November 30, 2010, our period end, our wholly-owned subsidiary, BioPower Corporation, had raised $1 through the sale of 10,000 shares of our common stock and secured a loan of $20,927 from our CEO and a Director which such shares have been cancelled as of January 5, 2011 and are not being registered as part of this Prospectus.
 
As of February 28, 2011, we accepted subscription agreements on February 2, 2011 for the sale of 1,200,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.25 per share with no commissions paid, for total proceeds of $300,000. From this total of $300,000, $15,000 has been expended towards the preparation of our Registration Statement. As of the date of this filing, we have approximately $225,000 cash in hand.
 
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

There is no established market for our stock. The offering price for shares sold pursuant to this Offering is set at $0.50 per common share. To date, we have issued a total of 90,250,000 common shares, 85,100,000 common shares of which were sold at an average price of $0.0036 per share, for total gross proceeds of $308,390.

The $0.50 price of the shares that are being offered, that being the 10,000,000 direct issue shares, was arbitrarily determined in order for us to raise up to a total of $5,000,000 in this Offering through the direct issue.

The shares being offered by the selling stockholders will be sold at $0.50 per share until such time as the Company’s shares of common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing market prices.

The offering price bears no relationship whatsoever to our assets, earnings, book value or other criteria of value.  Among the factors considered were:

 
-
our cash;
 
 
-
requirements;- the proceeds to be raised by the Offering;
 
 
-
our lack of operating history; and

 
-
the amount of capital to be contributed by purchasers in this Offering in proportion to the amount of stock to be retained by our existing stockholders.

The offering price stated in this prospectus should not be considered an indication of the actual value of the shares. That price is subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors, and we cannot assure you that the shares can be resold at or above the public offering price.

There are no warrants, rights or convertible securities associated with this Offering.
 
DILUTION
 
“Net tangible book value” is the amount that results from subtracting the total liabilities and intangible assets from the total assets of an entity.  Dilution occurs because we determined the offering price based on factors other than those used in computing book value of our stock.  Dilution exists because the book value of shares held by existing stockholders is lower than the offering price offered to new investors.
 
We are offering shares of our common stock for $0.50 per share through this Offering. At February 28, 2011 our net tangible book value was $415,692. We have adjusted the Net tangible book value to reflect the following stock sales. In 2011, founding shareholders of the Company purchased a total of 83,900,000 shares of our common stock for $8,390. In addition, we have sold an additional 1,200,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.25 per share with no commissions paid, for total proceeds of $300,000. Of the total 85,100,000 shares sold, the average selling price was $0.0036 per share. 5,150,000 shares were issued at no cost for agreements for services and an exclusive license. We have 90,250,000 shares outstanding prior to the offering.

Following is a comparison of the differences of your investment in our shares with the share investment of our existing stockholders.
 
The existing stockholders have purchased a total of 85,100,000 common shares for an aggregate amount of $308,390 or an average cost of approximately $0.0036 per share. Your investment in our shares will cost you $0.50 per share. In the event that this Offering is fully subscribed, the net tangible book value of the stock held by the existing stockholders will increase by $0.0497 per share, while your investment will decrease by $0.4986 per share. If this Offering is fully subscribed, the total capital contributed by new investors will be $5,000,000. The percentage of capital contribution will then be 5.81% for the existing stockholders and 94.2% for the new investors. The existing stockholders will then hold, as a percentage, 84.89% of our issued and outstanding shares, while the new investors will hold, as a percentage, 9.98%.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The persons listed in the following table plan to offer the shares shown opposite their respective names by means of this Prospectus. The owners of the shares to be sold by means of this Prospectus are referred to as the “selling stockholders”. The selling stockholders acquired their shares from us in privately negotiated transactions. These shares may be sold by one or more of the following methods, without limitations.

 
-
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits investors;

 
-
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 
-
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 
-
at a fixed price of $0.50 per share until such time as, and if, the Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTCBB and thereafter at such prevailing market prices;

 
-
privately negotiated transactions;

 
-
to cover short sales after the date the registration statement, of which this Prospectus is a part, is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission;

 
-
a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 
-
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

In competing sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from selling stockholders in amounts to be negotiated. As to any particular broker-dealer, this compensation might be in excess of customary commissions. Neither, we nor the selling stockholders can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. Any broker/dealers who act in connection with the sale of the shares will be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Acts of 1933, and any commissions received by them and any profit on any resale of the shares as a principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

If any selling stockholders enters into an agreement to sell his or her shares to a broker/dealer as principal and the broker/dealer is acting as an underwriter, we will file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement, of which this Prospectus is a part, identifying the broker/dealer, providing required information concerning the plan of distribution, and otherwise revising the disclosures in this Prospectus as needed. We will also file the agreement between the selling shareholder and the broker/dealer as an exhibit to the post-effective amendment to the registration statement.

The selling stockholders have been advised that any securities broker/dealers or others who will be deemed to be statutory underwriters will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act of 1933. We have advised each selling shareholder that in the event of a “distribution” of the shares owned by the selling shareholder, such selling shareholder, any “affiliated purchasers”, and any broker/dealer or other person who participates in the distribution may be subject to Rule 102 of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”) until their participation in that distribution is complete. Rule 102 makes it unlawful for any person who is participating in a distribution to bid for or purchase stock of the same class, as is the subject of the distribution. A “distribution” is defined in Rule 102 as an offering of securities “that is distinguished from ordinary trading transaction by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods”. We have advised the selling stockholders that Rule 101 of Regulation M under the 1934 Act prohibits any “stabilizing bid” or “stabilizing purchase” for purpose of pegging, fixing or stabilizing the price of the common stock in connection with this Offering.
 
Notwithstanding, certain selling stockholders have entered into a lockup agreement with the Company effectively restricting them from transferring some or all of their common stock for a period of one-year without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may be unreasonably withheld. Subsequent to the one year lockup period, the selling stockholder may sell its common stock every calendar quarter in an amount equal to no more than one percent (1%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock; provided, however, that the selling stockholder shall not be permitted to make any transfer, or portion thereof, that would exceed twenty percent (20%) of the average weekly reported volume of trading of the Company’s common stock on all national securities exchanges and/or reported through the automated quotation system of a registered securities association during the calendar week preceding the Transfer.  Moreover, as per the lockup agreement, prior to any transfer, the selling stockholder must first offer its shares of common stock to be sold to the Company and allow the Company to purchase such shares at a price that is ninety percent (90%) of the average closing price for the Company’s Common Stock, as reported or quoted on its principal exchange or trading market, for the consecutive five (5) trading days prior to the transfer notice given to the Company.

The following table sets forth information concerning the selling stockholders, including the number of shares currently held and the number of shares offered by each selling security  holder, to our knowledge  as of May 16, 2011. At the time of acquisition,  there were no agreements,  understandings  or arrangements between any selling stockholders and any other persons, either directly or indirectly, to distribute the securities.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Upon effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this Prospectus is a part, we will conduct the sale of shares we are offering on a self-underwritten, best-efforts basis. This offering will be conducted on a best-efforts basis utilizing the efforts of the officers and director of the Company.   There is no public market for our common stock. To date, we have not obtained listing or quotation of our securities on a national stock exchange or association, or inter-dealer quotation system. We have not identified any market makers with regard to assisting us to apply for such quotation. We are unable to estimate when we expect to undertake this endeavor or whether we will be successful. In the absence of listing, no market is available for investors in our common stock to sell the Shares. We cannot guarantee that a meaningful trading market will develop or that we will be able to get the Shares listed for trading.

If the Shares ever become tradable, the trading price of such could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various events or factors, many of which are beyond our control. As a result, investors may be unable to sell the Shares at a price greater than the price at which they are being offered. We do not anticipate entering into any agreements or arrangements for the sale of the Shares with any broker/dealer or sales agent.  However, if we were to enter into such arrangements, we will file a post effective amendment to disclose those arrangements.  
 
We will not be conducting a mass-mailing in connection with this Offering, nor will we use the Internet to conduct this Offering.  
   
Neither Mr. Kohn nor Ms. Nelson is subject to a statutory disqualification as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  They will rely on Rule 3a4-1 to sell our securities without registering as a broker-dealer.  Both are serving as an officer and director and primarily perform substantial duties for or on our behalf otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities and will continue to do so at the end of the Offering, and have not been a broker or dealer, or an associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding 12 months, and have not nor will not participate in the sale of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months.  Neither individual will receive commissions in connection with his or her participation.

 
16

 

We plan to offer our shares to the public at a price of $0.50 per share, with no minimum amount to be sold.  Our officers and directors will not purchase any shares under this Offering.  We will keep the Offering open until we sell all of the shares registered, or for 90 days from the date of this Offering, whichever occurs first.  The Board of Directors may also elect to extend the Offering for up to a further 90 days, if all shares have not been sold by the end of the initial 90 day period. There can be no assurance that we will sell all or any of the shares offered.  We have no arrangement or guarantee that we will sell any shares.

INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE REGISTRANT
 
Description of Business
 
 General
 
BioPower Operations Corporation ("we," "our,"  “BioPower”, “BIO” or the “Company") was incorporated in Nevada on January 5, 2011. On January 6, 2011 we acquired 100% of BioPower Corporation (“BC”), a Florida corporation incorporated on September 13, 2010 by our CEO and Director contributing  100% of the outstanding shares  to the Company.  As a result, BC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
 On January 14, 2011 we formed Global Energy Crops Corporation (“GECC”), a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary.
 
On January 26, 2011 we formed Green Oil Plantations Americas, Inc., a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary.
 
BioPower is a development stage renewable energy company, with no operations and revenues to date, focused on growing biomass energy crops including trees and bamboo (“biomass feedstock”) that can be converted into electricity and biofuels. We intend to operate our Company through three wholly-owned subsidiaries, BioPower Corporation, Global Energy Crops Corporation and Green Oil Plantations Americas Inc. BioPower Corporation has the exclusive license for the United States, Central America, Guam, and Mexico from Clenergen Corporation to utilize their biomass growing technologies. Clenergen Corporation is a public company which utilizes genetics applied to selected tree species, namely, Marjestica, Melia dubia and Bamboo. Clenergen only began generating revenues in 2010. Green Oil Plantations Americas has the exclusive license for North, Central, South America and the Caribbean from Green Oil Plantations Ltd. and their affiliates to utilize their biomass growing technologies and turnkey plantation management to grow biomass energy crops. As a development stage company, our plan is to grow biomass energy crops by (1) acquiring land, (2) joint venturing with land owners who would like to grow energy crops and (3) joint venturing with project funding sources looking to acquire land and grow energy crops. We then intend to sell the biomass feedstock that can be used for the generation of electricity or conversion to biofuels.
 
Our business plan calls for the implementation of one biomass project over the first twelve months. The biomass project is the growing of energy crops at a specific location. The biomass project costs will vary from project to project because of the specific nature and size of the land to be used with factors such as soil conditions, water conditions, weather, road infrastructure and other factors related to the specific location. The costs do not include conversion technology which may be used to convert the biomass and green oil produced to bio fuels and electricity, which may or may not be part of the biomass project. The biomass products can be sold to users of such products.  The total costs of a biomass project can only be determined by doing a feasibility study.  The feasibility study will include a business model for the specific land opportunity and will be prepared by one of our licensors as determined by us after we have identified an energy crop for the specific site.  Biopower will not prepare any aspect of the feasibility study but will gather local information regarding permitting processes (if any), local labor costs, equipment costs, construction costs, soil reports, weather, irrigation and many other local details for the licensor so that they can prepare the feasibility study and the business model for a specific site.
 
The project site feasibility study, containing the business model, is a major factor for a project funder source in determining whether to fund a particular project.  If there are no funding sources that will provide an offer of funding for a potential project after receiving the feasibility study and business model, then BioPower, will consider the potential project terminated and move on to the next potential project.  This is part of our business plan.  We do not expect to get every project funded.  Our Use of Proceeds accounts for many feasibility studies being prepared by our licensors.
 
In order to implement our first project we must raise funds for the funding of the first biomass project. The biomass project costs are separate and apart from the funds being raised through this Offering. The project funding source will determine, after their review of the feasibility study, whether or not the project economics meets their funding criteria. After we receive a project funding source offer for a particular feasibility study, the project will be submitted to the BioPower Board of Directors for final approval. If final approval is granted by our Board, then we shall hire required personnel and establish contractual relationships in order to commence the project. BioPower will also execute, with the selected Licensor, the contracts to provide seedlings, project implementation and plantation management services.  BioPower will oversee the project and make sure that the use of proceeds for the project in the business model is spent accordingly.To date, we have made no arrangements with our Licensors to prepare a feasibility study and no arrangements have been made with any project funding sources. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining funding for our first biomass project even if we raise 100% of the proceeds from this Offering.

We believe that, based on recommendations from both of our licensors, the basic minimum size to target for an economically viable project outside of the United States is approximately 2,500 acres with an approximate cost of $35,000,000 to $50,000,000 to cover all cash needs including operating and capital costs such as buildings, machinery and equipment, irrigation, roads, seedlings and land until cash flow positive. In contrast, we believe that, based on recommendations from both of our licensors, the basic minimum target size for an economically viable project in the United States is 250 acres with an approximate cost of three to five million dollars to cover all cash needs including operating and capital costs such as buildings, machinery and equipment, irrigation, seedlings and land until cash flow positive. The main reason for this contrast in plantation size is that the United States has an excellent road network and the markets are established for a plantation’s products; therefore, a smaller plantation size of 250 acres can be financially viable.
 
 
19

 
 
Our first year goal is to have one biomass project contracted, funded and planted. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in accomplishing this first year goal.
   
Initial Business Development Activities
 
We have put together a team to commence business development  activities which includes developing potential joint venture or strategic relationships  with private land owners, project funding sources,  international and smaller technology companies, Native American Tribes, municipalities and government agencies that:
 
 
1.
Want to utilize non-food crop land and grow energy crops to produce biomass and green oil which can then be converted to bio fuels or electricity;
 
2.
Purchase energy crop products including biomass feedstock, electricity and biofuels;
 
3.
Have technology related to growing biomass energy crops or conversion to electricity or biofuels; and
 
4.
Provide project funding.
 
At this time we have not engaged in any discussions or negotiations, preliminary or otherwise, with any joint venture/partner. Further, we have not taken any steps to procure potential land, negotiate contracts for end product sales, prepare a feasibility study, and we have not presented anything to potential project funding sources for their decision. There can be no assurance that we will ever accomplish any of our business development activities as noted above or that we will ever receive project funding approval to do our first biomass project.
 
The costs of business development activities for one year are outlined in our use of proceeds. This Offering is intended to fund business development activities for one year and not fund a biomass project.
 
 
20

 
 
Biomass Project Time Frame
 
During the next three to six months we would expect to identify a site for a biomass project and take steps to identify potential project funding sources. After this, a feasibility study and business model would be prepared by us and with our licensors, respectively, that could take thirty to sixty days. Over the next sixty to ninety days, the project funding sources will review the feasibility study. Once we have project funding source approval, then the total project is submitted to the BioPower Board of Directors for final approval. Once the final approval is received then BioPower’s operating personnel will execute agreements, hire the required personnel, and establish contractual relationships in order to start the project.

During this time, seedlings will be ordered and planted when seasonally appropriate (spring and/or fall planting is the norm for planting seedlings depending on the expected weather patterns at a specific site). Seedlings can be imported from one of our licensors or seed can be imported and germinated at local or regional nursery facilities. In most cases it is desirable to have the seed imported and germinated in the country where they will be planted. Depending on the specific crop, biomass production generally starts at a minimal level during or after the second full year of growth with full production of biomass anticipated in the sixth to seventh year of growth.
 
Sources of Funding for a Biomass Project
 
In order to implement our first project we must raise funds for the biomass project utilizing a feasibility study. The feasibility study consists of a financial business model covering all projected capital and operating costs as well as a narrative outlining the scope of the project. This funding may be through private investors, joint venture partners and funding sources, such as, banks, humanitarian funds, bond offerings, government backed loans and subsidies. We may seek financing from US Aid, OPIC and similar organizations for biomass projects in third world countries for the conversion to electricity and biofuels. Project funding is separate and apart from the funds being raised through this Offering. The project funding sources will determine, after their review of the feasibility study, whether or not the economics meets their project funding criteria for approval. To date, we have made no arrangements with any project funding sources. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining funding for a biomass project even if we raise 100% of the proceeds from this Offering.

BioPower and Clenergen - History
 
In 2009, Mr. Robert Kohn, then a Director of Clenergen Corporation (www.clenergen.com) (CRGE.PK), proposed that “Clenergen BioPower” be formed for the purpose of developing biomass projects in the North and South America marketplaces. Under that proposed structure, Clenergen would fund the operations through a loan and have an equity interest in Clenergen BioPower.
 
In its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2011, Clenergen made the following  disclosure:
 
“We formed BioPower Corporation (formerly, Clenergen BioPower Corporation) (“BioPower”) in October 2009 for the purpose of establishing a market presence in North America.  Through September 2010, we held a 19% equity interest in BioPower, and Mark Quinn, our chairman of the board, and Jessica Hatfield, our executive vice president, each owned a 16% equity interest.  In October 2010, we determined to surrender our minority interest in BioPower in order consolidate our business operations through our other existing subsidiary companies in the emerging markets. Mr. Quinn and Ms. Hatfield also surrendered their interests in BioPower.  We have been advised that Robert Kohn, a former director of our company (August 29, 2009 to January 26, 2011), holds a majority equity interest in BioPower.”
 
In September 2010, when it was clear that Clenergen was focused on India, Africa, Philippines and other territories outside of North and South America, Mr. Robert Kohn advised the Clenergen Board of Directors that he would like to form a separate company focused on these territories. Clenergen’s Board of Directors agreed and discussions ensued relative to an exclusive license for certain territories being granted to a new entity formed by Mr. Robert Kohn. Accordingly, a new corporation, BioPower Corporation, was formed by Robert Kohn and Bonnie Nelson on September 13, 2010 in the State of Florida. Mr. Robert Kohn formally resigned as the non-executive Vice Chairman of the Board of Clenergen on January 26, 2011. Mr. Dale Shepherd, our President and Chief Operating Officer, was supposed to be Chief Financial Officer of Clenergen Corporation upon Clenergen obtaining Directors and Officers Liability Insurance. Clenergen never obtained such insurance and accordingly Mr. Shepherd never commenced the position. Ms. Nelson, a director of the Company, was a consultant to Clenergen from April 2010 to October 2010.
 
Clenergen BioPower, a subsidiary of Clenergen, had no relationship or ownership with BioPower Corporation, a Florida corporation that was started on September 13, 2010 or BioPower Operations Corporation, a Nevada corporation that was started January 5, 2011.  In November 2010, Clenergen Corporation entered into a license agreement with BioPower Corporation.
 
 
22

 
 
On November 30, 2010 Clenergen and BioPower Corporation executed a license agreement. Until January 26, 2011 Robert Kohn, our CEO, was the one U.S. representative for Clenergen Corporation and used the same mailing address as Clenergen. There is currently no direct or indirect relationship between Clenergen and BioPower other than the license agreement. Clenergen and BioPower shared the same mailing address, which was paid for by Robert Kohn,due to the fact that he was the sole representative for Clenergen in the U.S. at that time. Clenergen’s offices are primarily located in the U.K.; India, Africa and Philippines with its main office in the U.K. Clenergen has advised BioPower it has changed its U.S. address to Nevada.
 
BioPower License Agreement Clenergen
 
On November 30, 2010 an exclusive license agreement was signed between BioPower Corporation and Clenergen Corporation. BioPower Corporation has the exclusive license for the United States, Central America, Guam, and Mexico to utilize Clenergen’s biomass growing technologies.  Clenergen Corporation is a public company which utilizes a tree adaption technology applied to selected tree species, namely, Marjestica, Melia dubia and a Bamboo. Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Company shall pay to Clenergen a royalty, on each 12-month period, as follows:
 
  
(a)
eight percent (8%) of the first $50,000,000 of gross revenue, (defined as the total amount of revenue less the direct costs paid for producing the revenue) or any part thereof;
 
  
(b)
three percent (3%) of the second $50,000,000 of gross revenue, or any part thereof; and
 
  
(c)
one percent (1%) of any and all gross revenue over $100,000,000.
 
 
23

 
Clenergen has three energy crops: Melia dubia, Marjestica and Bamboo.  If we plant any of those energy crops then Clenergen will receive royalties from the revenues derived from those plantations.
 
The License Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated by Clenergen as provided therein.  If Clenergen licenses its technology in other territories at a lower percentage then above, then the Company’s license fees will be reduced to the lowest percentage charged by Clenergen.
 
Global Energy Crops Corporation
 
On January 14, 2011, the Company formed Global Energy Crops Corporation.  GECC will focus on three areas of concentration and intends to:
 
  
1.
Seek financing from US Aid, OPIC, humanitarian funds and similar organizations for biomass energy crop growing projects in third world countries for the conversion to electricity and biofuels.
 
  
2.
Joint venture with both international and smaller technology companies who are currently producing electricity and biofuels wherein GECC intends to provide biomass feedstock.
 
  
3.
Execute supply chain contracts with major buyers of energy crop products including electricity and biofuels
 
 
24

 
Green Oil Plantations Americas, Inc.
 
On January 27, 2011, an agreement was signed between Green Oil Plantations Ltd. (www.greenoilplantations.com) and their affiliates (“Green Oil”) and the Company for the exclusive fully paid up license for fifty (50) years to utilize Green Oil’s licensed technologies and turnkey model for growing energy crops in North America, South America, Central America and the Caribbean, but not including Cuba.  The Company formed Green Oil Plantations Americas, Inc., as the operating company for this exclusive license. In connection with the grant of the license, the Company issued to Green Oil 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock having a fair value of $250,000 based upon recent cash offerings to third parties at $0.25 per share.
 
Further, pursuant to the License Agreement, the Company shall pay to Green Oil a royalty, on each 12-month period, as follows:
 
  
(a)
five percent (5%) of the first $50,000,000 of gross revenue, (defined as the total amount of revenue less the direct costs paid for producing the revenue) or any part thereof;
 
  
(b)
three percent (3%) of the second $50,000,000 of gross revenue, or any part thereof; and
 
  
(c)
one percent (1%) of any and all gross revenue over $100,000,000.
 
Green Oil Plantations has three energy crops: SilverLeaf, Millettia and Jatropha. If we plant  their energy crops then they will derive royalties from the revenues derived from those plantations. Green Oil has access to technologies including for the production of biodiesel and bio jet fuel and biomass conversion to electricity.
 
If Green Oil licenses its technology in other territories at a lower percentage, than above, then the Company’s license fees will be reduced to the lowest percentage charged by Green Oil.
 
 
25

 
 
Conversion Technology and Equipment to convert biomass into biofuels and electricity
 
If a feasibility study determines that we should convert the biomass to electricity or bio fuels then we will then identify the best suppliers of conversion technology and equipment; and, we will offer the opportunity to these vendors to bid for the supply of the equipment and related services. BioPower will review the bids and determine which bids to accept and utilize as part of the feasibility study. The bids will be for the capital costs for the conversion equipment for the project. The bids may also include the management and operations of the facility. We view these companies as equipment and service providers and do not believe they compete with our business model. Our licensors have conversion technologies; but we are not required to use our licensors’ conversion technologies in conjunction with our license agreements.

There are many different companies which have technologies and equipment available to convert biomass to bio fuels and electricity each with its own advantages and disadvantages. These companies include major corporations such as General Electric, Honeywell, Siemens and many other global, national and regional equipment and technology companies.

Some of the conversion technologies are:

Wood chip conversion technologies, such as pelletization, allows for the wood pellets to be co-fired in coal power plants, This pelletizing process is a line of machinery and equipment that dries the biomass and converts biomass into wood pellets;

Combustion steam biomass power plants generate, on average, one MW/h of electricity from one ton of wood chips. We anticipate that the construction of combustion steam plants will be outsourced under engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts within the country where the power plant is being installed. We further anticipate that it will take on average twelve to twenty months to install a combustion steam power plant, which can be custom designed for the desired energy requirement of the end-user. We have no plans to construct plants, but if we did they would be in modules with either 6 MW/h, 7 MW/h or 10 MW/h generating capacities, which adhere to the specifications of currently marketed combustion steam turbine engines.

Gasification biomass power plants have a far smaller footprint than combustion steam biomass plants and their modular design allows for scalability without requiring major engineering modifications. Small scale gasification power plants (0.5 MW/h to 2.0 MW/h) can generate up 1.2 MW/h of electricity from each one ton of wood chips. The gasification process does not involve the burning of the wood (thereby maintaining a carbon neutral footprint).
 
To date, we have made no arrangements with any conversion equipment suppliers. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining bids for conversion equipment that will provide economic viability for a biomass project.
 
The Company and its subsidiaries, have never declared bankruptcy, have never been in receivership, and have never been involved in any legal action or proceedings.
 
Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries, nor our officers, directors, promoters or affiliates, has had preliminary contact or discussions with, nor do we have any present plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with any representatives of the owners of any business or company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger.  Since incorporation, we have not made any material purchase or sale of assets outside the ordinary course of business.
 
 
26

 
 
We are not a blank check registrant as that term is defined in Rule 419(a)(2) of Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933, since we have a specific business plan or purpose.
 
Business Development
 
The Company was formed to leverage the experience, expertise, business relationships and financial expertise of its officers, directors and advisors focused on growing biomass projects with energy crops, sold “as-is” or that can be converted into electricity and biofuels.
 
The BioPower Business Development Process
 
The Company anticipates implementing the following business development processes upon receiving funds from the Offering:
 
Project Marketing
 
Market our general biomass project business model to land owners and/or project funding sources.
 
Project Feasibility Study and Business Model
 
Once potential project funding sources are matched with a specific land opportunity, BioPower will initiate the process to prepare a feasibility study for the specific project. The feasibility study will include a business model for the specific land opportunity that will be prepared by one of our licensors as determined by us. BioPower will gather local information regarding permitting processes (if any), local labor costs, equipment costs, construction costs, soil reports, weather, irrigation and many other local details, for the licensor, so that they can complete the business model for the specific site.
 
Some of the information used in the preparation of this business model would include: land acquisition cost; soil and environmental analyses; permitting costs; capital costs for buildings; equipment; seedlings; land preparation; planting, irrigation; operating costs; personnel needs and costs; available markets and purchase prices for products; buyers’ letters of intent if obtainable; evaluation of the regulatory situation at that time; availability of governmental subsidies, loans and/or grants. The feasibility study would include a narrative of the project including the business model consisting of a multi-year financial projection of profitability, cash flow and return on investment.
 
The feasibility study is finalized by the Company and presented to the project funding sources for funding approval.
 
Approval of Feasibility Study
 
Once we have project funding source approval, then the total project is submitted to the BioPower Board of Directors for final approval. When the final approval is granted, then BioPower will execute agreements, hire the required personnel and establish contractual relationships in order to start the project.
 
At this time we have not moved forward with anyone to negotiate for potential land, prepare a feasibility study, nor have we presented anything to potential investors for their decision, nor have we submitted anything to a project funding source. There can be no assurance that we will ever receive funding approval to do our first biomass project.
 
The costs of business development activities for one year are outlined in our use of proceeds. This Offering is intended to fund business development activities for one year and not fund a biomass project.

BioPower Corporation acquired the license rights from Clenergen Corporation to an exclusive territory including the United States, Central America, Mexico, and Guam to convert biomass into electricity and biofuels. Clenergen Corporation has established this model in India, Africa and the Philippines and in 2010 first began to generate revenues. Mr. Robert Kohn, our principal shareholder, CEO and a Director of BioPower, was the non- executive Vice Chairman of Clenergen Corporation from August 29, 2009 until he resigned on January 26, 2011 due to the potential conflicts of interest as CEO of BioPower.
 
On January 27, 2011, an agreement was signed between Green Oil Plantations Ltd. and their affiliates (“Green Oil”) and the Company for the exclusive fully paid up license for fifty (50) years to utilize Green Oil’s licensed technologies and turnkey model for growing energy crops in North America, South America, Central America and the Caribbean, but not including Cuba.
 
Our first year goal is to have one biomass project contracted, funded and planted. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in accomplishing this first year goal.
  
This is separate and apart from the funds being raised through this Offering. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining funding for a biomass project even if we raise 100% of the proceeds from this Offering.
 
We are a development stage company and we have no operations or revenues to date. The description of our business above reflects how we intend to operate our company. It also includes certain products that we intend to produce. It is our plan for the twelve months following the effectiveness of our Prospectus, and subject to our having success in raising additional capital through our  Offering, to establish our first biomass operation by the separate funding of the biomass project.

Principal products and services
 
Products
 
The Company is a development stage company with no operations or sales to date. The focus of the Company is to develop biomass projects by growing biomass energy crops - trees and bamboo. When we produce biomass from these projects, we intend to sell the biomass in the form of wood chips and green oil. The products can also be converted to wood pellets, biofuels and to produce electricity. There can be no assurance the above will ever be achieved.
 
Distribution methods of the products
 
We are targeting the Americas to grow biomass projects. We intend to distribute the biomass products produced anywhere in the world.
 
On a wholesale basis we intend to sell biomass feedstock, wood chips and wood pellets primarily to coal-fired electric generation companies and other electric generation companies. If we grow Millettia or SilverLeaf we can also sell green oil without further conversion. With or without conversion to biofuels, we may sell direct to oil companies or we may sell to other wholesalers specializing in biofuel sales to oil companies. In Europe and many other areas around the world, wood chips and pellets are in demand with new biomass to energy plants being built in the United Kingdom and other European countries. Furthermore, based on information provided in Bioenergy International Pellets Business (No 49 1-2011), the South Korean government announced that their demand for wood pellets will be 9,000,000 tonnes per year by 2020 up from their current supply at 20,000 tonnes per year. From a biomass plantation project, we could ship wood chips and pellets to Europe or South Korea if we develop a biomass project and produce such products, in the unlikely event such products could not be used in the Americas. To date, we have not engaged in any negotiations and we do not have any agreements or understandings, preliminary or otherwise, with any of the companies discussed above. There can be no assurance such results will ever be achieved.

According to the US Energy Information Administration, the market for electricity in the United States in 2009 was $353 Billion. We intend to offer green electricity and biofuels to utilities, coal-fired electric generators, electric generating users, oil and oil related companies, government agencies, municipalities, and commercial and industrial customers in the United States and around the world. To date, we have not engaged in any negotiations with any such entities and do not have any agreements or understandings, preliminary or otherwise, with any of these entities. There can be no assurance such results will ever be achieved.
 
Our licensor, Clenergen, uses polyploidy technology and genetically enhanced seedlings to grow their strains of trees and bamboo. This should enable BioPower to produce a greater yield of biomass per acre planted. The Clenergen technology applies to growing energy crops such as Melia dubia, Marjestica and Bamboo in the Southern parts of the United States, Central America, Mexico and Guam. We intend to target these areas. Each of these energy crops can only be grown under certain conditions, which particularly does not include cold weather conditions. Polyploidy is a term used to describe cells and organisms containing more than two paired sets of chromosomes. Polyploidy is especially common in plants. Polyploidy technology, therefore, is changing gene expression in plant hybrids and allopolyploids which are associated with growth vigor, enhanced resistances to diseases and environmental stresses, and fiber cell development, which leads to increased biomass and evolutionary success of plant polyploids. Moreover, the results have significant implications, not only for the field of genetics, but also for the ultimate success of biotechnological efforts to safely and effectively manipulate gene expression associated with growth vigor in plants and crops that produce food, feed, and biofuels. Clenergen cannot develop plantations or sell seedlings in our territory.
 
Our licensor, Green Oil Plantations Ltd. and their affiliates, have consulted in over 100 countries on energy crop growing programs around the world. Green Oil Plantations, technology applies to growing energy crops such as SilverLeaf, Millettia and Jatropha. Silver Leaf is planted in cold conditions where apples are grown. We intend to target the United States for Silver Leaf, Millettia and Jatropha biomass projects. Specifically, we will target Northern States where apples are grown for Silver Leaf projects. We intend to target South and Central America for Millettia and Jatropha. Green Oil Plantations cannot develop plantations or sell seedlings in our territory.
 
With these licenses the Company has the means to develop turnkey projects including site evaluation, business development, planting, plantation management and biomass production. To date, we have made no arrangements with any individuals or companies to develop a turnkey project. There can be no assurance such results will ever be achieved.
 
We do not have any present applications with any governmental agency to grow energy crops. Only after we do a feasibility study for a specific location and procure funding for a biomass project will we make application to the applicable government agencies to receive approval to grow energy crops at that location. Marjestica, Bamboo, Millettia, SilverLeaf and Jatropha are approved for growing by the USDA.
 
Marjestica is growing in 24 states in the United States; Bamboo has been growing throughout the United States; Millettia has been growing in Florida in the United States and Jatropha has been growing in the United States and all meet USDA approval. Green Oil, our licensor, informed us that during April 2011 their partner company planted a test and demonstration plot of SilverLeaf in Alabama.  The demonstration plot is not a plantation and is not in violation of our license agreement with them.

Distribution methods of the products or services
 
On a wholesale basis we intend to sell biomass feedstock, wood chips and wood pellets to electric generation companies.  If we grow Millettia or SilverLeaf we can also sell green oil without further conversion. If we convert to biofuels, such as biodiesel, we may sell direct to oil companies or we may sell to other wholesalers specializing in biofuel sales to oil companies. As for the physical distribution of the products, the ideal situation would be that the products could be processed and consumed at the plantation location; however, if physical movement of the products are required as will be the likely event, the products can be moved by train, trucks or barges. We have not made any arrangements to date with any wholesaler, oil company or any other company type mentioned above.  There can be no assurance such results will ever be achieved.
 
Status of any publicly announced new product or service
 
As a development stage company, we do not have new products or services, beyond that which we anticipate offering as described previously.
 
Competitive business conditions and the smaller reporting company's competitive position in the industry and methods of competition
 
The biomass industry is fragmented worldwide with Universities and energy crop production labs spending the last fifteen to twenty years doing research and development on the best energy crop yields. Much of this research has been done outside the United States. Many of the biomass companies are in the development or early stages of production. The renewable energy industry is extremely competitive in general, with competitors ranging from the largest tree growing company, International Paper; utilities such as Exelon, Southern Cos., Duke and large oil companies such as BP and Exxon to smaller technology companies and early stage renewable energy companies.
 
The biomass industry is in its early stages throughout the world with many companies attempting to find where they fit into this emerging market. BioPower’s strategic plan is to utilize management’s experience to license technologies and either joint venture or partner with companies for the products and services to enhance and refine our existing business model. The technologies and knowhow that would be targeted have not been identified at this time. There can be no assurance such results will ever be achieved.
 
There are many small companies who are attempting to market and/or develop a single technology. There are many small and large companies doing research and development into biomass energy crops. BioPower does not intend to develop technologies or conduct research and development. BioPower feels that an aggregation of multiple technologies and services, using licensor/partner technology and services support, will allow us to potentially fill the market need on a competitive basis. In our opinion, the potential project funding sources for the biomass market want to understand the various available technologies and services that will produce a satisfactory financial return. Funding of the projects is the key. Our management team has many years of experience in funding projects through project finance and with private investment. On a competitive basis, we feel that this capability is a key differentiator with smaller companies trying to compete in this emerging market. We cannot compete with International Paper, Exxon, BP or any other major company developing plantations because of their funding capabilities. We are a development stage company with no operations and have not made any arrangements with any companies other than our Licensor relationships. There can be no assurance that such competitive advantages or funding will ever be achieved.

Sources and availability of raw materials and the names of principal suppliers
 
We plan on purchasing our seedlings from our licensors. Clenergen, is capable of producing 100,000 non-energy food crops seedlings per week in India. Green Oil Plantations Ltd and their partners either have their own sources or contracted access to the specific seeds required to grow seedlings to establish plantations. They believe they have a plentiful supply of Jatropha and Millettia seeds to supply us with any need.  Green Oil, our licensor, informed us that during April 2011 their partner company planted a test and demonstration plot of SilverLeaf in Alabama and will have seed available for our use as required.  The demonstration plot is not a plantation and is not in violation of our license agreement with them.  There can be no assurance successful results will ever be achieved.
    
Dependence on one or a few major customers
 
Our projects are dependent on contracts for the sale of biomass feedstock to be converted by end users to electricity and biofuels.  We do not intend to be dependent upon a small number of larger customers, but rather on a large spectrum of purchasers of biomass for the conversion to electricity and biofuels.
 
Patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts, including duration
 
We have an exclusive license from Clenergen Corporation in perpetuity for the exclusive territory of the United States, Central America, Mexico and Guam for the use of Clenergen’s technologies including their own genetically developed strains of biomass energy crops.
 
We have an exclusive fully paid up license from Green Oil Plantations Ltd for fifty years for the exclusive territory of North America, Central America, South America, Caribbean, not including Cuba, and U.S. territories for the use of Green Oil’s turnkey proprietary growing systems including their own genetically developed strains of biomass energy crops.
 
Need for any government approval of principal products or services. If government approval is necessary and the smaller reporting company has not yet received that approval, discuss the status of the approval within the government approval process
 
 
33

 
 
We require specific governmental approvals to grow energy crops from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Should we be required to seek any such approvals, we do not anticipate any difficulties in obtaining permits and licenses.  The Company intends to initially utilize only those energy crops already approved by the USDA. Therefore, upon the Company’s investigation to date, the anticipated associated permit costs (federal, state and local) should be less than $25,000.  If we were to build our own conversion facilities, these would require permits and licensing from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as well as State and Local agencies.  There can be no assurance that we would receive such permits or licenses.
 
For permitting in countries outside of the USA, the permitting costs are unknown and such costs and timing of permits would be included in the model prepared as part of an initial feasibility study. We expect that landowners in foreign countries would have legal representation and governments process knowledge to allow for successful application and approval of the establishment of biomass plantation establishment and conversion to valuable products. If this permitting process would prove to be a difficult, costly and/or very time consuming then the initial feasibility study would demonstrate that a project would not be feasible until all permitting was acquired by the land owner.  We have done no investigations for the need for foreign permitting as that would be part of a feasibility study for a specific project.

We arrived at the $25,000 cap number by going to what we believe is one of the more difficult states for permitting in the United States, California.  We found that the most expensive local permit was $5,000, the State permit was additionally as high as $5,000 and the U.S. Permit was less than $5,000.  Coupled with legal costs we estimated that the maximum we would have to spend for obtaining government approvals for a biomass growing project would be $25,000.
 
Effect of existing or probable governmental regulations on the business
 
We anticipate government regulations from the U.S. Department of Agriculture when attempting to utilize land for growing energy crops.  We intend to primarily use land that is not fit for growing food.  Second, we intend to use energy crops that have been approved for growing in the United States or that can meet the requirements of the USDA.  We are aware that not obtaining permits would impact our business model, but we will operate in the same regulatory environment as all other energy crop growing operations that are dealing with USDA regulations.
 
 
34

 
Estimate of the amount spent during each of the last two fiscal years on research and development activities, and if applicable, the extent to which the cost of such activities is borne directly by customers;
 
As a recently incorporated company, we have not undertaken any R&D activities, nor do we intend to have R&D activities.  Our licensors provide all R&D activities.
 
Costs and effects of compliance with environmental laws (federal, state and local)
 
While we anticipate costs for compliance to environmental laws, which will typically be for licensing or permitting growing operations, these are part of the normal and customary costs for every growing operation.   These costs generally vary by state, are not significant as relates to the total project cost, and are part of the business model costs for each growing operation.
 
Number of total employees and number of full-time employees
 
We presently have four employees and various consultants and advisors. Robert Kohn, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dale Shepherd, our President and Chief Operating Officer, Bonnie Nelson, Director of Business Strategy, and an executive assistant in our Florida office. We intend to hire additional employees for business development activities and to manage and staff our operations as we raise capital and complete specific milestones that would require these employees. Robert Kohn has extensive experience in biomass and the electric utility industry, while President of Entrade at Exelon. Dale Shepherd spent 18 years with General Electric. All of our current officers and directors will accrue, but not be paid, their salary until such time as we have been successful in raising $2,500,000 through this Offering.

Reports to Security Holders

We will voluntarily make available to security holders an annual report, including audited financials, on Form 10-K.  We are not currently a fully reporting company, but upon effectiveness of this registration statement, we will be required to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; such as quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K.

The public may read and copy any materials filed with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC, 20549.  The public may obtain information about the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.  The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov.

Market Price Of and Dividends on the Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

Market Information

Our common stock is presently not listed on any national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market. Following the effective date of the registration statement on Form S-1 in which this Prospectus is included becoming effective, we anticipate that a market maker will apply on our behalf for the trading of our common stock on the over-the-counter (OTC) Bulletin Board. We have not yet engaged a market maker to assist us to apply for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board and we are not able to determine the length of time that such application process will take. Such time frame is dependent on comments we receive, if any, from the FINRA regarding our Form 211 application. There is currently no market for our shares of common stock. There can be no assurance that a market for our common stock will be established or that, if established, such market will be sustained. Therefore, purchasers of our shares registered hereunder may be unable to sell their securities, because there may not be a public market for our securities. As a result, you may find it more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate quotes of our common stock. Any purchaser of our securities should be in a financial position to bear the risks of losing their entire investment.

There are no outstanding options to purchase, or securities convertible into, common equity. We currently have outstanding a one-year warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock.

Immediately after this Offering, if fully subscribed, we will have 100,250,000 shares of common stock outstanding.  Of these shares, the 10,000,000 shares sold in this Offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any shares of common stock purchased by one of our affiliates within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
 
Additionally, the 16,250,000 shares identified for resale by Selling Stockholders, and upon exercise, the 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock underlying the warrant, will also be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any shares of common stock held by one of our affiliates within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act; in addition, such shares held by our affiliates are subject to a two-year lockup agreement.  Further, in the event the warrant is exercised, there will be an additional 1,000,000 free trading shares of our common stock.
 
Notwithstanding, certain selling stockholders have each entered into a lockup agreement with the Company effectively restricting them from transferring some or all of their common stock for a period of time without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may be unreasonably withheld. The selling stockholders named in this prospectus are subject to a one-year lockup for some of their shares and our officers and directors are subject to a two-year lockup on all of their shares. Each selling stockholder executed their one year lockup agreement on January 31, 2011, except for the Ford Irrevocable Trust and the Fox Irrevocable Trust, which executed their one year lockup agreements on January 18, 2011. Further, the officers and directors executed their two year lockup agreements on January 18, 2011, except for Dale Shepherd, who executed his lockup agreement on January 23, 2011. Subsequent to the lockup period, the stockholder may sell its common stock every calendar quarter in an amount equal to no more than one percent (1%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock; provided, however, that the stockholder shall not be permitted to make any transfer, or portion thereof, that would exceed twenty percent (20%) of the average weekly reported volume of trading of the Company’s common stock on all national securities exchanges and/or reported through the automated quotation system of a registered securities association during the calendar week preceding the Transfer.  Moreover, as per the lockup agreement, prior to any transfer, the stockholder must first offer its shares of common stock to be sold to the Company and allow the Company to purchase such shares at a price that is ninety percent (90%) of the average closing price for the Company’s Common Stock, as reported or quoted on its principal exchange or trading market, for the consecutive five (5) trading days prior to the transfer notice given to the Company.

All of the remaining 74,000,000 shares of common stock are restricted securities as such term is defined under Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC, in that they were issued in private transactions not involving a public offering.

Rule 144

The SEC has adopted amendments to Rule 144 which became effective on February 15, 2008, and will apply to securities acquired both before and after that date.  Under these amendments, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale.

Sales under Rule 144 by Affiliates

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of either of the following:

 
-
1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which will equal approximately 1,000,000 shares of common stock immediately after this Offering; and

 
-
If the common stock is listed on a national securities exchange or on The NASDAQ Stock Market, the average weekly trading volume of the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

Sales under Rule 144 by Non-Affiliates

Under Rule 144, a person who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of or at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the restricted ordinary shares proposed to be sold for at least six (6) months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than an affiliate, is entitled to sell their ordinary shares without complying with the manner of sale and volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.  We must be current in our public reporting if the non-affiliate is seeking to sell under Rule 144 after holding his ordinary shares between 6 months and one year.  After one year, non-affiliates do not have to comply with any other Rule 144 requirements.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Historically, the SEC staff has taken the position that Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by companies that are, or previously were, blank check companies, to their promoters or affiliates despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144.  The SEC has codified and expanded this position in the amendments discussed above by prohibiting the use of Rule 144 for resale of securities issued by any shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or any issuer that has been at any time previously a shell company.  The SEC has provided an important exception to this prohibition, however, if the following conditions are met:
 
  - The issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;
  - The issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
 
-
The issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and
 
-
At least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

BioPower Corporation was formed in Florida on September 13, 2010. As of November 30, 2010, our CEO and a Director loaned BioPower Corporation $20,927 and our cash balance was $20,124.  In exchange for the loan, each was issued a demand note evidencing the principal amount loaned and providing for interest at the rate of 4% per annum. From these total proceeds, we had made payments of $16,500 towards costs of preparation of the Prospectus including audit fees.
 
On January 5, 2011 we formed BioPower Operations Corporation, a Nevada corporation and the Officers and Directors cancelled their shares in BioPower Corporation and contributed BioPower Corporation to BioPower Operations Corporation. Therefore, BioPower Corporation became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as we redomiciled in Nevada.  There is limited historical basis for liquidity comparison and analysis.

As of January 18, 2011, we had raised a total of $8,390 from the sale of 83,900,000 shares of our common stock at par value $0.0001, comprised of 36,650,000 shares of common stock to officers and directors of the Company, and the balance of 47,225,000 common shares of stock to 10 related parties of officers and directors totaling 39,850,000 common shares of stock of which they disclaim beneficial ownership.

Subsequent to our period end, we accepted subscription agreements on February 2, 2011 for sales of 1,200,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.25 per share with no commissions paid, for total proceeds of $300,000.  As of the date of this filing, we have approximately $225,000 cash on hand.

Upon effectiveness of our registration statement, which this prospects is a part, we will be required to raise additional capital by way of the sale of our common stock through this Offering.

If this Offering is successful, and we are able to raise the entire $5,000,000, we will have sufficient funds to meet business development activity costs for the current fiscal year, and we will be able to implement key aspects of our business plan, including setting up our permanent corporate headquarters and business development costs for our energy growing operations.    We would have a total of $1,700,000 remaining for working capital, in addition to the approximately $225,000 cash on hand.   We expect these amounts will be sufficient to initiate and sustain our business development activities for one year.

Upon having been successful in raising $2,500,000, the salary obligation to our CEO,  President and Director of Business Strategy will come into effect, and any amounts accrued to date, and monthly amounts going forward, will be payable for a period up to one year including accruals.  The initial annual amounts are $200,000, $150,000 and $125,000 respectively.

Additional information on the utilization of funds under this Offering, including a discussion on the possible negative impact on us if we are unable to raise the entire $5,000,000, is available under the Use of Proceeds section commencing on Page 10.

The amount and timing of additional funds that might be required cannot be definitively stated as at the date of this report and will be dependent on a variety of factors, including the success of our initial operations and the rate of future expansion that we might plan to undertake. If we were to determine that additional funds are required, we would be required to raise additional capital either by way of loans or equity, which, in the case of equity, would be potentially dilutive to existing stockholders.   The Company cannot be certain that we will be able to raise any additional capital to fund our operations or expansion past the current fiscal year.

Results of Operations

Our operations from inception of September 13, 2010 through to February 28, 2011 have been focused on establishing the Company.  As of that date, we had incurred a net loss of $253,499, as a result of general, legal, accounting and administrative expenses associated with the commencement of the Company.

If we are successful in raising the $5,000,000 under this Offering, we would cover the business development costs for one year and still need to raise additional funding for the commencement of a biomass project. We can therefore not yet determine when we will be generating sufficient revenue to cover our overhead and operational costs.
 
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

-
the Director is an officer or other person holding a salaried position of an entity (other than a principal, equity partner or member of such entity) that provides professional services to the Company and the amount of all payments from the Company to such entity during the most recently completed fiscal year was less than two percent of such entity’s consolidated gross revenues;

the Director is the beneficial owner of less than five percent of the outstanding equity interests of an entity that does business with the Company;

 
-
the Director is an executive officer of a civic, charitable or cultural institution that received less than the greater of $1 million or two percent of its consolidated gross revenues, as such term is construed by the New York Stock Exchange for purposes of Section 303A.02(b)(v) of the Corporate Governance Standards, from the Company or any of its subsidiaries for each of the last three fiscal years;

To enable the Board to evaluate each non-management Director, in advance of the meeting at which the review occurs, each non-management Director shall provide the Board with full information regarding the Director’s business and other relationships with the Company, its affiliates and senior management.

Directors must inform the Board whenever there are any material changes in their circumstances or relationships that could affect their independence, including all business relationships between a Director and the Company, its affiliates, or members of senior management, whether or not such business relationships would be deemed not to be material under any of the categorical standards set forth above.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES LIABILITIES

The Nevada General Corporation Law requires us to indemnify officers and directors for any expenses incurred by any officer or director in connection with any actions or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, brought against such officer or director because of his or her status as an officer or director, to the extent that the director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action or proceeding.  The Nevada General Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify an officer or director, even in the absence of an agreement to do so, for expenses incurred in connection with any action or proceeding if such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and such indemnification is authorized by the stockholders, by a quorum of disinterested directors, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion authorized by a majority vote of a quorum of directors consisting of disinterested directors, or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum of disinterested directors cannot be obtained.

The Nevada General Corporation Law prohibits indemnification of a director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that the officer's or director's acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law and were material to the cause of action.  Despite the foregoing limitations on indemnification, the Nevada General Corporation Law may permit an officer or director to apply to the court for approval of indemnification even if the officer or director is adjudged to have committed intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law.

The Nevada General Corporation Law also provides that indemnification of directors is not permitted for the unlawful payment of distributions, except for those directors registering their dissent to the payment of the distribution.

According to Article 11 of our Bylaws, we are authorized to indemnify our directors to the fullest extent authorized under Nevada law subject to certain specified limitations.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be provided to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Note 1 Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

BioPower Corporation (“BioPower” or “the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on September 13, 2010. On January 5, 2011, the Company decided to domicile in Nevada and formed BioPower Operations Corporation, a Nevada corporation. On January 6, 2011, the shareholders of BioPower Corporation contributed their shares of BioPower Corporation to BioPower Operations Corporation and BioPower Corporation became a wholly-owned subsidiary.  

For all disclosures after January 5, 2011, BioPower Operations Corporation will be considered “the Company”.

The Company intends to focus on growing non-food energy crops such as trees and grass that can be converted into electricity and biofuels.  To date, the activities of the Company have been limited to implementing the business plan and raising capital. The Company is still in its development stage.

The Company’s fiscal period end is November 30.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company intends to operate in an industry that is subject to rapid change. The Company's operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks, including the potential risk of business failure.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Such estimates for the period ended November 30, 2010, and assumptions affect, among others, the following:

●estimated fair value of share based payments
●estimated valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, due to continuing losses

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at November 30, 2010.
 
The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits.  At November 30, 2010, there were no balances that exceeded the federally insured limit.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including accounts payable and notes payable – related parties, approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

Earnings per share

In accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. The Company has not dilutive securities.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the periods the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
Accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740-20, “Income Taxes – Intraperiod Tax Allocation,” clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740-20 by prescribing guidance for the recognition, de-recognition and measurement in financial statements of income tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns or tax positions expected to be taken in tax returns, including a decision whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. FASB ASC Topic 740-20 requires that any liability created for unrecognized tax benefits is disclosed. The application of FASB ASC Topic 740-20 may also affect the tax bases of assets and liabilities and therefore may change or create deferred tax liabilities or assets. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. At November 30, 2010, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, FASB issued updated guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. This update requires new disclosures on significant transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (including the reasons for these transfers) and the reasons for any transfers in or out of Level 3. This update also requires a reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis. In addition to these new disclosure requirements, this update clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements. For example, this update clarifies that reporting entities are required to provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities rather than each major category of assets and liabilities. This update also clarifies the requirement for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. This update will become effective for the interim and annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2010, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will become effective for the interim and annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2011. The Company will not be required to provide the amended disclosures for any previous periods presented for comparative purposes. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this update will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 2 Going Concern

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $1,334 and net cash used in operations of $804 for the period ended November 30, 2010. The Company also has a working capital deficit and stockholders’ deficit of $1,333 at November 30, 2010

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on Management's plans, which include potential asset acquisitions, mergers or business combinations with other entities, further implementation of its business plan and continuing to raise funds through debt or equity raises. The Company will likely rely upon related party debt or equity financing in order to ensure the continuing existence of the business.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3 Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carryforwards.  The Company has established a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets.

The Company has a net operating loss carryforward for tax purposes totaling approximately $1,300 at November 30, 2010, expiring through 2030. U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 places a limitation on the amount of taxable income that can be offset by carryforwards after a change in control (generally greater than a 50% change in ownership).  Temporary differences, which give rise to a net deferred tax asset, are as follows:

Significant deferred tax assets at November 30, 2010 are approximately as follows:

Gross deferred tax assets:
     
Net operating loss carryforwards
  $ (500 )
Total deferred tax assets
    500  
Less: valuation allowance
    (500 )
Net deferred tax asset recorded
  $ -  

The valuation allowance at September 13, 2010 (Inception) was $0. The net change in valuation allowance during the period ended November 30, 2010 was an increase of approximately $500.

In assessing the reliability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.   Based on consideration of these items, management has determined that enough uncertainty exists relative to the realization of the deferred income tax asset balances to warrant the application of a full valuation allowance as of November 30, 2010.

The actual tax benefit differs from the expected tax benefit for the period ended November 30, 2010 (computed by applying the U.S. Federal Corporate tax rate of 34% to income before taxes and 5.5% for State income taxes, a blended rate of 37.63%) as follows:

Expected tax expense (benefit) – Federal
  $ (430 )
Expected tax expense (benefit) – State

Change in valuation allowance

Note 1 Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form S-1, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, for the period ended November 30, 2010.  The interim results for the period ended February 28, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

Note 2 Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

BioPower Corporation (“BioPower” or “the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on September 13, 2010. On January 5, 2011, the Company decided to domicile in Nevada and formed BioPower Operations Corporation, a Nevada corporation. On January 6, 2011, the shareholders of BioPower Corporation contributed their shares of BioPower Corporation to BioPower Operations Corporation and BioPower Corporation became a wholly-owned subsidiary.

The Company intends to focus on growing non-food energy crops such as trees and grass that can be converted into electricity and biofuels.  To date, the activities of the Company have been limited to implementing the business plan and raising capital. The Company is still in its development stage.

The Company’s fiscal period end is November 30.

Principles of Consolidation

All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company intends to operate in an industry that is subject to rapid change. The Company's operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks, including the potential risk of business failure.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
February 28, 2011

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Such estimates for the period ended February 28, 2011, and assumptions affect, among others, the following:

Ÿestimated fair value of share based payments
Ÿestimated valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, due to continuing losses

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at February 28, 2011.
 
The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits.  At February 28, 2011, there were no balances that exceeded the federally insured limit.
 
Intangible Assets
 
Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Such intangible assets are reviewed for impairment if indicators of potential impairment exists.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including accounts payable and notes payable – related parties, approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. The Company has no dilutive securities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, FASB issued updated guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. This update requires new disclosures on significant transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (including the reasons for these transfers) and the reasons for any transfers in or out of Level 3. This update also requires a reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis. In addition to these new disclosure requirements, this update clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements. For example, this update clarifies that reporting entities are required to provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities rather than each major category of assets and liabilities. This update also clarifies the requirement for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. This update will become effective for the interim and annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2010, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will become effective for the interim and annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2011. The Company will not be required to provide the amended disclosures for any previous periods presented for comparative purposes. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this update will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2010, the FASB issued an exposure draft on lease accounting that would require entities to recognize assets and liabilities arising from lease contracts on the balance sheet. The proposed exposure draft states that lessees and lessors should apply a “right-of-use model” in accounting for all leases. Under the proposed model, lessees would recognize an asset for the right to use the leased asset, and a liability for the obligation to make rental payments over the lease term. The lease term is defined as the longest possible term that is “more likely than not” to occur. The accounting by a lessor would reflect its retained exposure to the risks or benefits of the underlying leased asset. A lessor would recognize an asset representing its right to receive lease payments based on the expected term of the lease. Comments on this exposure draft were due by December 15, 2010 and the final standard is expected to be issued in the second quarter of 2011. The Company believes that the proposed standard, as currently drafted, will have neither a material impact on its reported financial position and reported results of operations, nor a material impact on the liquidity of the Company.

In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, or ASU 2010-05, which amends ASC 820 to provide clarification of a circumstance in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available. A reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following methods: 1) a valuation technique that uses a) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or b) quoted prices for similar liabilities (or similar liabilities when traded as assets) and/or 2) a valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of ASC 820. ASU 2010-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to adjust to include inputs relating to the existence of transfer restrictions on that liability. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2 Going Concern

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $252,166 and net cash used in operations of $39,129 for the three months ended February 28, 2011; and a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $253,499, at February 28, 2011.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on Management's plans, which include potential asset acquisitions, mergers or business combinations with other entities, further implementation of its business plan and continuing to raise funds through debt or equity raises. The Company will likely rely upon related party debt or equity financing in order to ensure the continuing existence of the business.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and the Bylaws.

Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, director immunity from liability to a company or its stockholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's Articles of Incorporation.  Our Articles of Incorporation do not specifically limit the directors’ immunity.  Excepted from that immunity are: (a) a willful failure to deal fairly with us or our stockholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest; (b) a violation of criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; (c) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and (d) willful misconduct.

Our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding, or part thereof, initiated by such person unless such indemnification: (a) is expressly required to be made by law, (b) the proceeding was authorized by the board of directors, (c) is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested us under Nevada law, or (d) is required to be made pursuant to our Bylaws.

Our Bylaws provide that we will advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at the request of us as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefore, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under our Bylaws or otherwise.

Our Bylaws provide that no advance shall be made by us to our officers except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was our director in which event this paragraph shall not apply, in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to our best interests.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

We have sold securities during January, 2011,  without registering such securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

During January, 2011, we sold a total of 83,900,000 shares of our common stock in a private offering to twenty-five (25) stockholders, 32,500,000 of which were to a director and officer of the Company and 39,900,000 to related parties which the officer and director disclaim beneficial ownership, at a price of $0.0001 per common share for proceeds of $8,390. Of these investors, five are not considered to be “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D, Rule 501. Of these five, one, Riskless Partners, LLC, is an entity controlled by Ms. Bonnie Nelson, an officer and director of the Company. Each of these investors received copies of the Company’s audited financial statements. The remaining four investors subscribed for an aggregate of $1,250 worth of the Company’s common stock. Further, the Company reasonably believes that, immediately prior to making the sale, that such non-accredited investor had knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and that such investor was capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment.  On February 2, 2011, a further private offering was completed, under which 1,200,000 shares of our common stock were accepted by subscription at a price of $0.25 per share to five (5) stockholders for total proceeds of $300,000.  All investors in the $0.25 round were “accredited investors”.

Neither we nor any person acting on our behalf offered or sold these securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  No underwriters were used, and no commissions were paid. The shares sold are restricted securities and the certificates representing these shares have been affixed with a standard restrictive legend, which states that the securities cannot be sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption therefrom.  Each purchaser represented to us that he or she was purchasing the securities for his or her own account and not for the account of any other persons.  Each purchaser was provided with written disclosure that the securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and therefore cannot be sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption therefrom.

The following table provides details of all stock sales transactions that have taken place during the period from our formation, to the date of this Registration Statement.

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:

 
(a)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 
(b)
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 aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 
(c)
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.

 
(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.

 
(4)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

 
(a)
If the Company is relying on Rule 430B:
 
(i)
Each prospectus filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 
(ii)
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

 
(b)
If the Company is subject to Rule 430C: Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5)
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 provision, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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 of 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.
 
 
(6)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:  The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
 
i.
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
 
ii.
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
 
 
iii.
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
 
 
iv.
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
 
 
b.
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 an 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.
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.
