This prospectus relates to the public offering of up to 25,734,934 shares of American Power Corp.’s (the “Company”, “we”, “our”) $0.001 par value per share common stock (the “Common Stock”) by YA Global Master SPV Ltd (“YA Global”) or any of YA Global’s pledgees, assignees or successors-in-interest (each a “Selling Stockholder”). The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) may take the view that, under certain circumstances, any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the Selling Stockholder in the distribution of the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Commissions, discounts or concessions received by any such broker-dealer or agent may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act. YA Global has informed us that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholder may sell Common Stock from time to time in the principal market on which the registrant’s Common Stock is quoted and traded at the prevailing market price or in negotiated transactions. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of those shares being sold by the Selling Stockholder.
 
The Selling Stockholder is offering these shares of Common Stock. The Selling Stockholder may sell all or a portion of these shares from time to time in market transactions through any market on which the Common Stock is then traded, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, and at prices and on terms that will be determined by the then prevailing market price or at negotiated prices directly or through a broker or brokers, who may act as agent or as principal or by a combination of such methods of sale. The Selling Stockholder will receive all proceeds from such sales of the Common Stock. For additional information on the methods of sale, you should refer to the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.”
 
Our Common Stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “AMPW.”  On March 26, 2012, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board was $0.16 per share.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
This summary contains basic information about us and the resale of the securities being offered by the selling stockholder.  Because it is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing.  You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the section entitled “Risk Factors” and our financial statements and the notes to the financial statements, before making an investment decision.  This summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information and the financial statements and related notes.
 
The terms "American Power," "Company," "we," "our," and "us" refer to American Power Corp. and its subsidiaries, unless the context suggests otherwise.
 
 The Company
 
We are an independent company with the intended business purpose of coal, oil and natural gas exploration, development and production. We have acquired certain coal and minerals rights located in the Judith Basin County, Montana, collectively described as the “PACE Coal Project.”  These rights are speculative in nature and additional exploration work is required to determine their value.  We plan to explore the PACE Coal Project and acquire and explore new properties which we believe are prospective for coal and/or hydrocarbons. Through December 2011, we completed a total of 14,076 feet of drilling for all three phases of our exploration drilling program at the PACE Coal Project. All Phase I and Phase II drilling operations were completed, as well as one drill hole corresponding to Phase III of our exploration program. Drilling operations were suspended in December 2011 due to weather considerations and are expected to resume in the summer of 2012. We have commissioned the preparation of a reserve study and a mine feasibility study for the PACE Coal property with the project data obtained during the 2011 drilling season. The studies are expected to be completed during April 2012. Although we have obtained encouraging preliminary results from the first two phases of the exploration drilling program, there can be no assurance that an economic coal and/or hydrocarbon reserve exists on the PACE Coal Project or on any other of the exploration prospects we could eventually acquire.

Our principal executive offices are located at 16 Market Square Center, 1400 16th Street, Suite 400, Denver, CO 80202. Our telephone number is (720) 932-8389.
 
About This Offering
 
 
On February 17, 2012, we entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (the “SEDA”) with YA Global Master SPV Ltd. (“YA Global” or the “Selling Stockholder”) pursuant to which we may, at our sole and exclusive option, periodically sell to YA Global shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) for a total purchase price of up to four million dollars ($4,000,000). Each sale of Common Stock, pursuant to an advance notice under the SEDA (each an “advance notice”), will be limited to the greater of (1) $250,000 and (2) the average of the daily value traded for each of the 10 trading days prior to the applicable advance notice. For each share of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the SEDA, YA Global will pay us ninety-five (95%) of the market price, defined as the average of the two lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock during the five (5) consecutive trading days following delivery by us of an advance notice, which price will not be less than 90% of the volume weighted average price on the trading day prior to the advance notice date. Under the SEDA, we cannot sell shares of Common Stock until such time as the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We are not obligated to sell any shares of Common Stock under the SEDA and there are no minimum commitments or minimum use penalties.
 
In addition, on February 17, 2012, we issued to YA Global an aggregate of 734,394 shares (the “Commitment Fee Shares”) of Common Stock as complete payment of a $120,000 commitment fee in connection with the contemplated transactions.
 
In accordance with the SEDA, we agreed to register for resale the Commitment Fee Shares and a number of shares to be issued under the SEDA. Therefore, we have prepared and filed this prospectus for the purpose of registering the resale by YA Global of the 734,394 Commitment Fee Shares currently owned by YA Global and up to 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the SEDA, but we do not know when or whether, or at what price, any or all of the Shares may be sold.

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk.  You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information contained in this prospectus before you decide to purchase our Common Stock.  Any of the risks and uncertainties set forth therein and below could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the trading price of our Common Stock.  As a result, you could lose all or part of your investment.
 
 Risks Related to Our Business
 
We have no history of revenues from operations, we may never operate profitably and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

We have no history of revenues from operations.  We are an exploration stage company with only a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our current business and future prospects.  Further, we do not have an established history of locating and developing mineral and oil and gas properties.  As a result, the revenue and income potential of our business is unproven and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably.  The exploration and development of mineral properties requires substantial capital, often over a substantial period of time.  We anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues over the next several years. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future.  If we are unable to successfully develop the PACE Coal Property or other properties we acquire in the future, we will not be able to establish revenues, earn profits or continue operations, and our stock may become worthless, causing our investors to lose all of their investment in us.

We currently own rights with respect to a sole mineral property.
 
The PACE Coal Project is currently our sole project.  The agreements, as amended, under which we acquired the PACE property require us to make future payments to the sellers of the property, which payment obligations are secured by the property, and completion of a reserve study and mine feasibility study by April 9, 2013.  If we are unable to make these payments or complete these other obligations, we may lose our interest in the property. The Company plans to evaluate all available exploration data to delineate the extent of the potential resources, estimate their recoverability and determine requirements for additional exploration and analytical testing. The Company has commissioned the preparation of a reserve study and a mine feasibility study for the PACE Coal property with the project data obtained during the 2011 drilling season. The studies are expected to be completed during April 2012.
 
We are subject to all of the risks inherent in the mining industry.

As an exploration stage company, our work is highly speculative and involves unique and greater risks than are generally associated with other businesses.  There can be no assurance that the PACE Coal Project or any the properties we acquire contain or will contain a commercially viable ore body or reserves until additional exploration work is done and an evaluation based on such work concludes that development of and production from the ore body is technically, economically and legally feasible.  We are subject to all of the risks inherent in the mining industry, including, without limitation, the following:

  
Success in discovering and developing commercially viable quantities of minerals is the result of a number of factors, including the quality of management, the interpretation of geological data, the level of geological and technical expertise and the quality of land available for exploration;

  
Exploration for minerals is highly speculative and involves substantial risks, even when conducted on properties known to contain significant quantities of mineralization and most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits of ore;

  
Operations are subject to a variety of existing laws and regulations relating to exploration and development, permitting procedures, safety precautions, property reclamation, employee health and safety, air and water quality standards, pollution and other environmental protection controls, all of which are subject to change and are becoming more stringent and costly to comply with;

 
3

 
  
A large number of factors beyond our control, including fluctuations in metal prices and production costs, inflation, the proximity and liquidity of precious metals markets and processing equipment, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection, and other economic conditions, will affect the economic feasibility of mining;

  
Once mineralization is discovered, it may take several years from the initial phases of drilling until production is possible, during which time the economic feasibility of production may change;

  
Substantial expenditures are required to establish proven and probable ore reserves through drilling, to determine metallurgical processes to extract the metals from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to construct mining and processing facilities; and

  
If we proceed to development of a mining operation, our mining activities would be subject to substantial operating risks and hazards, including metal bullion losses, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, labor disputes, encountering unusual or unexpected geologic formations or other geological or grade problems, encountering unanticipated ground or water conditions, cave-ins, pit-wall failures, flooding, rock falls, periodic interruptions due to inclement weather conditions or other unfavorable operating conditions and other acts of God.  Some of these risks and hazards are not insurable or may be subject to exclusion or limitation in any coverage, which we obtain or may not be insured due to economic considerations.

Loss of key personnel and failure to attract qualified managers, technologists, independent engineers, and geologists could limit our growth and negatively impact our operations.
 
We depend upon our consultants to a substantial extent. In particular, we depend upon Mr. Alvaro Valencia, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Johannes Petersen, our Secretary and Chief Financial Officer, for their skills, experience, knowledge of the company and industry contacts. The loss of Mr. Valencia or Mr. Petersen could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
 
As we grow, we may increasingly require field managers with experience in our industry and skilled engineers, geologists and technologists to operate diagnostic, seismic, 3D and drilling equipment. It is impossible to predict the availability of qualified managers, technologists, skilled engineers and geologists or the compensation levels that will be required to hire them. In particular, there is a very high demand for qualified technologists who are particularly necessary to operate systems similar to the ones that we intend to operate.  We may not be able to hire and retain a sufficient number of technologists, engineers and geologists and we may be required to pay bonuses and higher independent contractor rates to our technologists, engineers and geologists, which would increase our expenses.

The loss of the services of any member of our senior management or our inability to hire qualified managers, technologists, skilled engineers, and geologists at economically reasonable compensation levels could adversely affect our ability to operate and grow our business.
 
Complying with federal and state regulations is an expensive and time-consuming process and any failure to comply could result in substantial penalties.
 
Our exploration efforts are directly or indirectly subject to extensive and continually changing regulation affecting mining and the oil and natural gas industry. Many departments and agencies, both federal and state, are authorized by statute to issue, and have issued, rules and regulations binding on the mining and oil and natural gas industry and our individual participants. The failure to comply with such rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties. The regulatory burden on the mining and oil and natural gas industry increases our cost of doing business and, consequently, will affect our profitability.
 
 
4

 
If operations on the properties we acquire are found to be in violation of any of the laws and regulations to which we are subject, we may be subject to the applicable penalties associated with the violation, including civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines and the curtailment of operations. Any penalties, damages, fines or curtailment of operations, individually or in the aggregate, could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results. In addition, many of these laws and regulations have not been fully interpreted by the regulatory authorities or the courts, and their provisions are open to a variety of interpretations. Any action against us for violation of these laws or regulations, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert management’s attention from the operation of our business.
 
We may experience competition from other mining and energy exploration and production companies, and this competition could adversely affect our revenues and our business.
 
The market for coal, oil and natural gas properties is generally highly competitive.  Many existing competitors, as well as potential new competitors, have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, substantial track records and significantly greater financial, technical and technological resources than us. This may allow them to devote greater resources to the development and promotion of their coal, oil and natural gas exploration and production projects. Many of these competitors offer a wider range of coal, oil and natural gas opportunities not available to us and may attract business partners, consequently resulting in a decrease of our business opportunities. These competitors may also engage in more extensive research and development, adopt more aggressive strategies and make more attractive offers to existing and potential purchasers and partners. Furthermore, competitors may develop technology and exploration strategies that are equal or superior to us and achieve greater market recognition. In addition, current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to better address the needs of our target market. As a result, it is possible that new competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share.
 
There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against our current or future competitors or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We will need to increase the size of our organization, and may experience difficulties in managing growth.
 
We expect to experience a period of significant expansion in headcount, facilities, infrastructure and overhead and anticipate that further expansion will be required to address potential growth and market opportunities. Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including the need to identify, recruit, maintain and integrate additional independent contractors and managers. Our future financial performance and our ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to manage any future growth effectively.
 
Coal, oil and natural gas prices are volatile and low prices could have a material adverse impact on our business.
 
Our growth and future profitability and the carrying value of our properties depend substantially on prevailing coal, oil and natural gas prices. Prices also affect the amount of cash flow available for capital expenditures, if any, and our ability to borrow and raise additional capital. The amount we will be able to borrow under any credit facility will be based in part on changing expectations of future prices. Lower prices may also reduce the amount of coal, oil and natural gas that we can economically produce and have an adverse effect on the value of our properties. Prices for coal, oil and natural gas have increased significantly and have been more volatile over the past twelve months. Historically, the markets for coal, oil and natural gas have been volatile, and they are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. Among the factors that can cause volatility are:

  
the domestic and foreign supply of coal, oil and gas;

  
the ability of members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, and other producing countries to agree upon and maintain oil prices and production levels;

  
the level of consumer product demand;
 
  
the growth of consumer product demand in emerging markets, such as China and India;
 
 
5

 

  
labor unrest in coal, oil and natural gas producing regions;

  
weather conditions, including hurricanes and other natural disasters;

  
the price and availability of alternative fuels;

  
the price of foreign imports; and

  
worldwide economic conditions.

These external factors and the volatile nature of the energy markets make it difficult to estimate future prices of coal, oil and natural gas and our resulting ability to raise capital.
 
Assets we acquire may prove to be worth less than we paid because of uncertainties in evaluating recoverable reserves and potential liabilities.
 
Our initial growth is expected to result from acquisitions of mineral and oil and gas properties. Successful acquisitions require an assessment of a number of factors, including estimates of recoverable reserves, exploration potential, future energy prices, operating and capital costs and potential environmental and other liabilities. Such assessments are inexact and their accuracy is inherently uncertain. Typically, we acquire interests in properties on an “as is” basis with limited remedies for breaches of representations and warranties.
 
Actual future production and quantities of recoverable coal, oil and natural gas reserves may vary from those estimated on any assets we acquire.  Any significant variance could materially affect the estimated quantities and the value of any potential reserves.
 
Exploration and development drilling efforts may not be successful.
 
We require significant amounts of undeveloped leasehold acreage in order to further our development efforts. Exploration, development, drilling and production activities are subject to many risks, including the risk that commercially productive reservoirs will not be discovered. We invest in property, including undeveloped leasehold acreage, which we believe will result in projects that will add value over time. However, we cannot guarantee that any of our prospects will result in viable projects or that we will not abandon any of our initial investments. Additionally, we cannot guarantee that the leasehold acreage we acquire will be profitably developed, that new wells drilled on such properties will be productive or that we will recover all or any portion of our investment in such leasehold acreage, mines or wells. Drilling for oil and natural gas may involve unprofitable efforts, not only from dry wells but also from wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net reserves to return a profit after deducting operating and other costs. We rely to a significant extent on 3D seismic data and other advanced technologies in identifying leasehold acreage prospects and in determining whether or not to participate in a new well. The 3D seismic data and other technologies we use do not allow us to know conclusively prior to acquisition of leasehold acreage or the drilling of a well whether oil or natural gas is present or may be produced economically.

The unavailability or high cost of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies, personnel and energy field services could adversely affect our ability to execute our exploration and development plans on a timely basis and within our budget.
 
Our industry is cyclical and, from time to time, there is a shortage of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies and/or qualified personnel to operate properties. During these periods, the costs and delivery times of rigs, equipment and supplies are substantially greater. In addition, the demand for, and wage rates of, qualified drilling rig crews rise as the number of active rigs in service increases. As a result of increasing levels of exploration and production in response to strong prices of oil and natural gas, the demand for oilfield services has risen, and the costs of these services are increasing, while the quality of these services may suffer. If the unavailability or high cost of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies or qualified personnel is particularly severe in Colorado and Montana, we could be materially and adversely affected because we expect our properties will be concentrated in those states.

 
6

 
Title to the properties in which we have, or will have, an interest in may be impaired by title defects.
 
We seek to confirm the validity of our rights to title to, or contract rights with respect to, each mineral property in which we have a material interest. Title insurance generally is not available, and our ability to ensure that we have obtained a secure claim to individual mineral properties or mining concessions is limited. We generally do not conduct surveys of our properties until they have reached the development stage, and therefore, the precise area and location of such properties could be in doubt. Accordingly, our mineral properties could be subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers or claims and title could be affected by, among other things, undetected defects. In addition, we might be unable to operate our properties as permitted or to enforce our rights with respect to our properties. Generally, under the terms of the operating agreements affecting our properties, any monetary loss is to be borne by all parties to any such agreement in proportion to their interests in such property. If there are any title defects or defects in the assignment of rights in properties in which we hold an interest, we will suffer a financial loss.
 
Our decision to acquire a property will depend in part on the evaluation of data obtained from engineering studies, geophysical and geological analyses, and seismic and other information, the results of which are often incomplete or inconclusive.
 
Our reviews of acquired properties may be inherently incomplete because it is not always feasible to perform an in-depth review of the individual properties involved in each acquisition. Even a detailed review of records and properties may not necessarily reveal existing or potential problems, nor will it permit a buyer to become sufficiently familiar with the properties to assess fully their deficiencies and potential. Inspections may not always be performed on every well and environmental problems, such as ground water contamination, plugging or orphaned well liability are not necessarily observable even when an inspection is undertaken.
 
We are subject to complex laws and regulations, including environmental regulations, which can adversely affect the cost, manner, or feasibility of doing business.
 
The exploration and development of mineral and natural gas and oil properties in the United States is subject to extensive laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations. We may be required to make large expenditures to comply with environmental and other governmental regulations. Matters subject to regulation include, but are not limited to:

  
location and density of drilling locations;

  
the handling of drilling fluids and obtaining discharge permits for drilling operations;

  
accounting for and payment of royalties on production from state, federal and Indian lands;

  
bonds for ownership, development and production of coal, natural gas and oil properties;

  
transportation of natural gas and oil by pipelines;

  
land reclamation activities;

  
mine planning and construction;

  
operation of wells and reports concerning operations; and

  
taxation.

Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injuries, property damage, oil spills, discharge of hazardous materials, remediation and clean-up costs and other environmental damages. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations also may result in the suspension or termination of our operations and subject us to administrative, civil and/or criminal penalties. Moreover, these laws and regulations could change in ways that substantially increase our costs. Accordingly, any of these liabilities, penalties, suspensions, terminations or regulatory changes could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

To fully develop our business plan we will need additional financing.
 
For the foreseeable future, we expect to rely principally upon financing from sales of Common Stock made pursuant to the SEDA. We have also raised limited private placement funds during the past several years and may be required to do so in the future. We cannot guarantee the success of this plan. We will have to obtain additional financing in order to conduct our business in a manner consistent with our proposed business plan. There is no guaranty that additional funds will be available when needed. If we are unable to obtain financing, or if its terms are too costly, we may be forced to curtail our operations until such time as alternative financing may be arranged, which could have a materially adverse impact on our operations and your investment.
 
Even after entering into the SEDA, we lack capital.
 
Even after our entry into the SEDA, we lack the capital necessary to independently sustain our operations. There can be no guaranty that additional funds will be available. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, or if its terms are too costly, we may be forced to curtail our operations until such time as alternative financing may be arranged which could have a materially adverse impact on our operations and your investment.
 
Risks Associated with Our Common Stock

The price of the Common Stock may be volatile and you may not be able to resell your shares at a favorable price.
 
Regardless of whether an active trading market for the Common Stock develops, the market price of the Common Stock may be volatile and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price you paid for such shares. The following factors could affect our stock price:

  
our operating and financial performance and prospects;

  
quarterly variations in the rate of growth of our financial indicators, such as net income per share, net income and revenues;

  
changes in revenue or earnings estimates or publication of research reports by analysts about us or the coal exploration and production industry generally;

  
potentially limited liquidity;

  
actual or anticipated variations in our reserve estimates and quarterly operating results;

  
changes in coal, natural gas and oil prices;

  
sales of Common Stock by significant stockholders and future issuances of the Common Stock;

  
increases in our cost of capital;

  
changes in applicable laws or regulations, court rulings and enforcement and legal actions;

  
commencement of or involvement in litigation;

  
changes in market valuations of similar companies;

  
additions or departures of key management personnel;
 
  
general market conditions, including fluctuations in and the occurrence of events or trends affecting the price of coal, natural gas and oil; and

We have no plans to pay dividends on the Common Stock.
 
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. Our future dividend policy is within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon various factors, including our business, financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, investment opportunities, and restrictions imposed by any agreements.
 
Because the Common Stock is deemed a “penny stock,” an investment in the Common Stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions.
 
Since the Common Stock is a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment even if and when a market develops for the Common Stock. Until the trading price of the Common Stock rises above $5.00 per share, if ever, trading in the Common Stock is subject to the penny stock rules of the Exchange Act specified in Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10. Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to:

  
Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;

  
Disclose certain price information about the stock;

  
Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;

  
Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and

  
In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules.

Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the Common Stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their Common Stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.
 
If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board, which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
 
Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board.  More specifically, FINRA has enacted Rule 6530, which determines the eligibility of issuers quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board by requiring an issuer to be current in its filings with the SEC.  Pursuant to FINRA Rule 6530(e), if we file our reports late with the SEC three times in a two-year period or our securities are removed from the OTC Bulletin Board for failure to timely file twice in a two-year period then we will be ineligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board.  As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
 
FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that, in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy the Common Stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

The Common Stock has a limited public trading market.

While the Common Stock currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board, the market for the Common Stock is limited and sporadic. We cannot assure that such market will improve in the future, even if the Common Stock is ever listed on a national stock exchange. We cannot assure that an investor will be able to liquidate his investment without considerable delay, if at all. If a more active market for the Common Stock does develop, the price may be highly volatile. The factors which we have discussed in this document may have a significant impact on the market price of the Common Stock. The relatively low price of the Common Stock may keep many brokerage firms from engaging in transactions in the Common Stock.

The Over-the-Counter market for stock such as ours has had extreme price and volume fluctuations.

The securities of companies such as ours have historically experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations during certain periods. These broad market fluctuations and other factors, such as new product developments and trends in our industry and in the investment markets generally, as well as economic conditions and annual variations in our operational results may, have a negative effect on the market price of the Common Stock.

We will need additional capital to finance our planned growth, which we may not be able to raise or may only be available on terms unfavorable to us or our stockholders, which may result in our inability to fund our working capital requirements and harm our operational results.
 
We have and expect to continue to have substantial capital expenditure and working capital needs. We will need to rely on borrowings or raise additional cash to fund our exploration and acquisition plans, pay outstanding long-term debt and implement our growth strategy.
 
If low coal, natural gas and oil prices, operating difficulties or other factors, many of which are beyond our control, cause our revenues or cash flows from operations to decrease, we may be limited in our ability to spend the capital necessary to complete our development, production and exploration programs. If our resources or cash flows do not satisfy our operational needs, we will require additional financing, in addition to anticipated cash generated from our operations, to fund our planned growth. Additional financing might not be available on terms favorable to us or at all. If adequate funds were not available or were not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our business or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. In such a capital restricted situation, we may curtail our acquisition, drilling, development and exploration activities or be forced to sell some of our assets on an untimely or unfavorable basis.

If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced, and these newly issued securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders.

Additional stock offerings may dilute current stockholders.

Given our plans and our expectation that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of capital stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of capital stock, including preferred stock, options or warrants. The issuance of additional capital stock may dilute the ownership of our current stockholders.

Our management collectively beneficially owns approximately 51% of our presently outstanding Common Stock and this concentration of ownership may have the effect of preventing a change in control.
 
Collectively our officers and directors beneficially own approximately 51% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, our officers and directors have the ability, by virtue of their voting power, to effectively control our business with respect to the election of directors and all other matters requiring action by stockholders. Such concentration of share ownership may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.
 
As an issuer of “penny stock”, the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us.
 
Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by public companies that file reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.
 
There are substantial risks associated with the SEDA with YA Global, which could contribute to the decline of the price of the Common Stock and have a dilutive impact on our existing stockholders
 
The sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the SEDA will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. We believe YA Global intends to promptly re-sell the shares that we sell to it under the SEDA and that such re-sales could cause the market price of the Common Stock to decline significantly. Any subsequent sales by us to YA Global under the SEDA may, to the extent of any such decline, require us to issue a greater number of shares of Common Stock to YA Global in exchange for each dollar of such subsequent sale. Under these circumstances our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution. The sale of Common Stock under the SEDA could encourage short sales by third parties, which could contribute to the further decline of the price of the Common Stock.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
We are including the following discussion to inform our existing and potential security holders generally of some of the risks and uncertainties that can affect us. From time to time, our management or persons acting on our behalf make forward-looking statements to inform existing and potential security holders about us. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “anticipates,” “believes,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “should” or “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” or elsewhere in this report, which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risk factors, nor can we address the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. The factors affecting these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
 
  
estimated quantities and quality of coal, oil and natural gas reserves;
 
  
fluctuations in the price of coal, oil and natural gas;
 
  
inability to efficiently manage our operations;
 
  
the inability of management to effectively implement our strategies and business plans;
 
  
potential default under our secured obligations or material debt agreements;
 
  
inability to hire or retain sufficient qualified personnel;
 
  
inability to attract and obtain additional development capital;
 
  
increases in interest rates or our cost of borrowing;
 
  
deterioration in general economic conditions;
 
  
the occurrence of natural disasters, unforeseen weather conditions or other events or circumstances that could impact our operations or could impact the operations of companies or contractors we depend upon in our operations;
 
  
inability to achieve future sales levels or other operating results; and
 
  
changes in U.S. GAAP or in the legal, regulatory and legislative environments in the markets in which we operate.
 
All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
The Selling Stockholder and any of its pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of its shares of Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares of Common Stock are traded or in private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.  The Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
 
  
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
  
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;
 
  
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
  
privately negotiated transactions;
 
  
broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
  
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
 
  
a combination of any such methods of sale; or
 
  
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The Selling Stockholder may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASD Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASD IM-2440.
 
In connection with the sale of the Common Stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume.  The Selling Stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
 
 
14

 
The Selling Stockholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.  In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  The Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and/or markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).
 
Because the Selling Stockholder may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder.  In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus.  There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholder.
 
We have agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholder without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect.  The shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws.  In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
 
Expenses, Indemnification
 
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock sold by the Selling Stockholder and will bear all expenses related to the registration of this offering but will not pay for any commissions, fees or discounts, if any.  We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholder against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
Supplements
 
In the event of a material change in the plan of distribution disclosed in this prospectus, the Selling Stockholder will not be able to effect transactions in the shares pursuant to this prospectus until such time as a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which the prospectus forms a part is filed with, and declared effective by, the SEC.
 
Regulation M
 
We have informed the Selling Stockholder that Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act may be applicable to them with respect to any purchase or sale of the Common Stock. In general, Rule 102 of Regulation M prohibits any person connected with a distribution of the Common Stock from directly or indirectly bidding for, or purchasing for any account in which it has a beneficial interest, any of the shares or any right to purchase the shares, for a period of one business day before and after completion of its participation in the distribution.
 
During any distribution period, Regulation M prohibits the Selling Stockholder and any other persons engaged in the distribution from engaging in any stabilizing bid or purchasing the Common Stock except for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the open market price of the Common Stock. None of these persons may effect any stabilizing transaction to facilitate any offering at the market.
 
We have also advised the Selling Stockholder that they should be aware that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Exchange Act will apply to purchases and sales of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder, and that there are restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution of the shares. Under Regulation M, the Selling Stockholder or its agents may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, shares of the Common Stock while the Selling Stockholder is distributing shares covered by this prospectus.  Regulation M may prohibit the Selling Stockholder from covering short sales by purchasing shares while the distribution is taking place, despite any contractual rights to do so under the SEDA. We have advised the Selling Stockholder that it should consult with its own legal counsel to ensure compliance with Regulation M.

ABOUT THE COMPANY
 
Business
 
Overview
 
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada as a for-profit company on August 7, 2007.  At the time of our incorporation, we were incorporated under the name “Teen Glow Makeup, Inc.” and our original business plan was to create a line of affordable teen makeup for girls.  On November 20, 2009, Johannes Petersen, our Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, acquired the majority of the shares of our issued and outstanding Common Stock.  On March 30, 2010, we changed our intended business purpose to that of coal, oil and natural gas exploration, development and production, primarily focusing on acquiring, exploring for and developing coal, oil and natural gas properties in the United States, with a particular focus on the Rocky Mountains region.
 
On March 30, 2010, our Board of Directors approved the proposal to change the Company’s name and to effect a 340 for 1 forward stock split. The Certificate of Change for the forward stock split was filed and approved by the Nevada Secretary of State on April 28, 2010. Also on April 28, 2010, Articles of Amendment were filed and approved with the Nevada Secretary of State to change the name of the Company to American Power Corp. The Articles of Amendment also changed the authorized amount of capital stock to Five Hundred Million (500,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001.

Business Description and Plan of Operation
 
We are an independent company with the intended business purpose of coal, oil and natural gas exploration, development and production. We have acquired certain coal and minerals rights located in the Judith Basin County, Montana, collectively described as the “PACE Coal Project.”  These rights are speculative in nature and additional exploration work is required to determine their value.  We plan to explore the PACE Coal Project and acquire and explore new properties which we believe are prospective for coal and/or hydrocarbons. Through December 2011, we completed a total of 14,076 feet of drilling for all three phases of our exploration drilling program at the PACE Coal Project. All Phase I and Phase II drilling operations were completed, as well as one drill hole corresponding to Phase III of our exploration program. Drilling operations were suspended in December 2011 due to weather considerations and are expected to resume in the summer of 2012. We have commissioned the preparation of a reserve study and a mine feasibility study for the PACE Coal property with the project data obtained during the 2011 drilling season. The studies are expected to be completed during April 2012. Although we have obtained encouraging preliminary results from the first two phases of the exploration drilling program, there can be no assurance that an economic coal and/or hydrocarbon reserve exists on the PACE Coal Project or on any other the exploration prospects we could eventually acquire.

Even if we complete our proposed exploration programs and are successful in identifying the presence of coal and/or hydrocarbons, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling, engineering studies, environmental and mine feasibility studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable coal, oil and gas deposit or reserve.
 
Market Overview for Plan of Operation
 
Coal production in the United States in 2010 reached a level of 1,084.4 million short tons (811.9 million short tons between January and September of 2011) according to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), an increase of 0.9% from the 2009 level. Wyoming continued to be the largest coal producing State with 442.5 million short tons, 2.6% higher than the 2009 level. By rank, bituminous coal represented 46.9% of total coal production in 2010, followed closely by subbituminous with 46.2%, while lignite and anthracite coal represented 6.7% and 0.2%, respectively.
 
Coal consumption in the United States rebounded in 2010, reaching a level of 1,051.3 million short tons (776.3 million short tons between January and September of 2011), an increase of 5.1% from the 2009 level, with all coal-consuming sectors, except commercial and institutional users, having higher consumption for the year. The electric power sector (electric utilities and independent power producers), which consumes about 93% of all coal in the US, is the overriding force for determining total domestic coal consumption. Coal consumption in the electric power sector increased 4.4% to end 2010 at 975.1 million short tons (719.9 million short tons between January and September of 2011). Coal consumption in the non-electric power sector (comprised of other industrial, coking coal, and the commercial and institutional sectors) increased in 2010 as the economy rebounded. Coal consumption at coke plants increased by 37.6% to end 2010 at 21.1 million short tons (16.0 million short tons between January and September of 2011).
 
Total coal stocks fell to 233.6 million short tons at the end of 2010, compared to 244.8 million short tons at the end of 2009. Except for 2009 when stocks were slightly higher, the 2010 stocks surpassed stocks in all years dating back to 1980.

According to data for 2010, domestic coal prices averaged $35.61 per short ton. By coal rank, the average price in 2010 for bituminous coal was $60.88 per short ton, $14.11 per short ton for subbituminous, $18.76 per short ton for lignite and $59.51 per short ton for anthracite.
 
Western Region (includes Montana)
 
The Western Region is the largest coal-producing region in the US. In 2010 coal production increased by 1.1% to a total of 591.6 million short tons (429.4 million short tons between January and September 2011). Even with the increase in production, the production level was still below the 2008 level of 633.6 million short tons.
 
In 2010, Montana, the second largest coal-producing State in the Western Region, produced a total of 44.7 million short tons (29,8 million short tons between January and September 2011), an increase of 13.3% or 5.2 million short tons from the 2009 level. A total of six mines in Montana produced 44.4 million short tons of subbituminous coal and 0.3 million short tons of lignite coal in 2010. Three mines had large increases in coal production in 2010, which were more than enough to offset the decrease of 1.5 million short tons at Decker Coal Company’s Decker mine. Spring Creek Coal’s Spring Creek mine had an increase of 1.7 million short tons, Western Energy’s Rosebud mine had an increase of 1.9 million short tons and Signal Peak Energy’s Bull Mountain No.1 mine had an increase of 3.6 million short tons.
 
Government Approvals
 
The Company is required to obtain drilling permits from the Montana Department of Environmental Quality in order to carry out drilling operations on its PACE Coal Project. In 2011, the Company received prospecting permit No. X2011335 that allowed it to carry out exploration activities on the project from July 29, 2011 to July 29, 2012. Further drilling, or modifications to our drilling plan, will require modification of our drilling permits by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality. The Company will apply to the Montana DEQ for a renewal of the prospecting permit No. X2011335 to carry out exploration activities beyond July 29, 2012. The Company would also be required to obtain additional permits from the state and federal governments once it moves, if at all, to the development and mining phase of the project.

 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes to our financial statements. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results and timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed under “Risk Factors”.
 
Overview of the Company’s Business
 
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada as a for-profit company on August 7, 2007. Our primary business focus is to acquire, explore and develop coal, oil and gas properties in the United States, with a particular focus on the Rocky Mountains region.  We have acquired certain coal and minerals rights located in the Judith Basin County, Montana, collectively described as the “PACE Coal Project.”  Our plan of operation is to explore the PACE Coal Project and acquire and explore new properties which we believe are prospective for coal and/or hydrocarbons.
 
On August 3, 2010, the Company retained Weir International, Inc. (“Weir”) to prepare an exploration drilling program for the PACE Coal Project and to supervise its execution. Weir is an internationally recognized consulting firm that has provided mining, geology and energy consulting services to the US and international mining and energy industries for over 75 years.  Weir is currently in the process of performing a preliminary reserve study and mine feasibility study. On September 9, 2010, the Company approved an exploration drilling program consisting of 61 drilling locations and a total of 52,740 feet in three phases.  On July 29, 2011, the Coal and Uranium Program of the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (“Montana DEQ”) approved the Prospecting Permit Application No. X2011335 which authorizes the Company to carry out the first phase of its planned exploration drilling program.  The Company applied for two amendments to the original exploration permit to obtain permits for Phase II and Phase III drill holes. The permits were obtained on September 12, 2011 and October 25, 2011. On August 16, 2011, the Company started drilling operations for Phase I of the exploration drilling program.  As of December 29, 2011, the Company had completed a total of 14,076 feet of drilling for all three phases of its exploration drilling program.  All drill locations corresponding to Phases I and II has been fully completed while one drill location corresponding to Phase III has been completed.
 
Due to adverse weather conditions in Central Montana, the Company decided to halt drilling operations in December 2011. The decision took into consideration the decreasing returns in productivity and increasing operating costs that prevail when drilling activities occur with cold weather and snow on the ground. The Company plans to resume drilling activities for Phase III of the exploration drilling program in the summer of 2012. The Company has commissioned Weir with the preparation of a reserve study and a mine feasibility study for the PACE Coal property with the project data obtained during the 2011 drilling season. The studies are expected to be completed during April 2012.
 
Results of Operations
 
Three Months Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2010

Results.  The Company had no revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Expenses, including office and general, management fees, professional fees and exploration costs, were $383,018 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to $371,823 during the same period in the previous fiscal year. This increase of $11,195 (3%) was primarily attributable to increased exploration costs of $199,878 and increased professional fees of $25,502, partially offset by a decrease in management fees of $212,500.

The Company experienced an operating loss of $461,831 during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to an operating loss of $460,315 during the same period in the previous fiscal year. This $1,516 increase in the Company’s operating loss is attributable to increased expense costs, as discussed in the preceding paragraph, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense.

The Company will need to generate revenue in order to attain profitability. The present nature of the Company’s business is such that it is not expected to generate revenue until after the development of the PACE Coal Project is significantly underway, an event which, as of the date hereof, is not certain to occur.

The Company will need to raise additional capital and/or secure additional financing in order to execute its presently conceived business plan with respect to the PACE Coal Project.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.  The Company’s net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $461,831.  During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company experienced a decrease in cash of $368,790.  At December 31, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficit of $426,533, compared to working capital deficit of $25,277 at September 30, 2011.  The $401,256 increased deficit in working capital is attributable primarily to the $368,790 decrease in cash and a $31,250 increase in current portion of promissory notes.

Net cash flows used in operating activities were $336,558 for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $147,625 during the same period in the previous fiscal year.  Negative operating cash flows in both periods are primarily attributable to net losses of $461,831 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and $460,315 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  The $188,933 increase in cash used in operating activities from the first quarter of fiscal 2011 to the first quarter of fiscal 2012 is primarily attributable to a decrease in stock based compensation partially offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses.

Net cash flows used in investing activities were $32,232 for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $5,890 during the same period in the previous fiscal year.  The $26,342 increase in cash used in investing activities from the first quarter of fiscal 2011 to the first quarter of fiscal 2012 is primarily attributable to the purchase of a reclamation bond for the PACE Coal Project.

Net cash flows used in financing activities were $0 for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $200,000 during the same period in the previous fiscal year.  The Company undertook no financing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

The Company’s business plan, including the continuation of the PACE Coal Project, requires significant working capital beyond what the Company currently has access to. The failure of the Company to secure additional funding to implement its business plan will significantly affect the Company’s ability to continue operations.  The Company does not have sufficient working capital to enable it to carry out its stated plan of operation for the next twelve months.

On February 17, 2012, the Company entered into the SEDA with YA Global pursuant to which the Company may, at its sole and exclusive option, periodically sell to YA Global shares of Common Stock for a total purchase price of up to four million dollars ($4,000,000), subject to certain conditions, including that each sale shall be limited to the greater of (1) $250,000 and (2) the average of the daily value traded for each of the 10 trading days prior to the applicable advance notice. For each share of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the SEDA, YA Global will pay the Company ninety-five (95%) of the market price, defined as the average of the two lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock during the five (5) consecutive trading days following delivery by the Company of an advance notice, which price shall not be less than 90% of the volume weighted average price on the trading day prior to the advance notice date.  Under the SEDA, the Company cannot sell shares of Common Stock until such time as the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective by the SEC.
 
In addition, on February 17, 2012, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with YA Global pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell to YA Global secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200,000, which Notes are convertible into Common Stock. The Company may notify YA Global in writing of its intent to sell a Note to YA Global at any time and from time to time after the Company’s initial filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and prior to the earlier of the date on which such registration statement is declared effective by the SEC and August 13, 2012, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of certain terms and conditions. Notes are issuable with principal amounts not to exceed $50,000 and, other than with respect to the first Note purchased by YA Global, there must be at least 30 days between Note Purchases.

 
21

 
 
Each Note issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement shall mature on August 13, 2012 and shall bear interest at a rate equal to 8% per annum, payable upon the maturity of such Note.  In addition, YA Global shall have the right to convert any portion of any outstanding Note, including any accrued interest, into shares of Common Stock, at a conversion rate equal to the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the three trading days prior to such Note’s issuance.

While issuances of Common Stock pursuant to the SEDA and issuances of Notes pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement will provide the Company with additional working capital, the Company will require additional funding to execute its business plan, including the continuation of the PACE Coal Project. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and to seek additional equity and/or debt financing.  However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of these plans.

Year Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to Year Ended September 30, 2010
 
Results.  The Company had no revenue in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. Expenses, including office and general, management fees, professional fees and exploration costs, were $1,623,717 in fiscal 2011, compared to $342,040 during the previous fiscal year. This increase of $1,281,677 (375%) was primarily attributable to increased management fees of $802,500 (primarily attributable to the stock based compensation of our officers), increased exploration costs of $440,894 (primarily attributable to the implementation of the PACE Coal Project) and increased office and general expenses of $169,605, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees of $139,322.

The Company experienced an operating loss of $1,952,064 during fiscal 2012 as compared to an operating loss of $777,221 during the previous fiscal year. This $1,174,843 (151%) increase in the Company’s operating loss is attributable to increased expense costs, as discussed in the preceding paragraph, and increased interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.  The Company’s net loss for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 was $1,952,064.  During fiscal 2011, the Company experienced an increase in cash of $109,005.  At September 30, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficit of $25,277, compared to working capital deficit of $73,136 at September 30, 2010.  The $47,859 decreased deficit in working capital is attributable primarily to the $109,005 increase in cash and a $168,750 decrease in current portion of promissory notes, partially offset by a $222,909 increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Net cash flows used in operating activities were $690,365 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 compared to $197,937 during the previous fiscal year.  Negative operating cash flows in both periods are primarily attributable to net losses of $1,952,064 in fiscal 2011 and $777,221 in fiscal 2011.  The $492,428 increase in cash used in operating activities from fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2011 is primarily attributable to an increase in net losses, partially offset by an increase in stock based compensation and an increase in accretion of debt discount.
 
Net cash flows used in investing activities were $100,630 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 compared to $386,148 during the previous fiscal year.  The $285,518 decrease in cash used in investing activities from fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2011 is primarily attributable to the purchase of mineral property relating to the PACE Coal Project in fiscal 2010, partial offset by the purchase of a reclamation bond for the PACE Coal Project in fiscal 2011.

Net cash flows used in financing activities were $900,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1,104,790 during the previous fiscal year.  The $204,790 decrease in cash used in financing activities from fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2011 is primarily attributable to the payment on a promissory note in fiscal 2011, partially offset by an increase in proceeds from the sale of Common Stock and a decrease in proceeds from notes payable.

This exclusion of liability does not limit any right which a director may have to be indemnified and does not affect any director’s liability under federal or applicable state securities laws. We have agreed to indemnify our directors against expenses, judgments and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim against a director if he acted in good faith and in a manner he believed to be in our best interests.
 
Insofar as indemnification by us for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, or persons controlling the company pursuant to provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us 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 offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP of Denver, Colorado has provided its opinion on the validity of the Common Stock offered by this prospectus.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2011
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 –FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q, the financial statements, footnote disclosures and other information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. The financial statements contained in this report are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements.  The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The balance sheet at September 30, 2011 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2011 have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, and from inception (August 7, 2007) to December 31, 2011, the Company had a net loss of $461,831 and $3,227,943, respectively.
 
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
 
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Stock based compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 “Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to an Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on the estimated fair values.
 
For non-employee stock-based compensation, the Company has adopted ASC Topic 505 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”, which requires stock-based compensation related to non-employees to be accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services on the grant date, whichever is more readily determinable in accordance with ASC Topic 505.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
 
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2011

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (continued)

Net Loss per Share
Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Dilutive loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of the Company.  The Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, therefore the accompanying presentation is only of basic loss per share.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these financial instruments. The notes payable are also considered financial instruments whose carrying amounts approximate fair values.

Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost.  Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance, and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed.  At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts.  Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To The Board of Directors and Stockholders
American Power Corp.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of American Power Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and from inception (August 7, 2007) through September 30, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Power Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, and from inception (August 7, 2007) through September 30, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2011 and 2010
(Audited)

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

American Power Corp. (the “Company”) was originally organized as Teen Glow Makeup, Inc. under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 7, 2007.  On April 30, 2010 the Company changed its name to American Power Corp.  The Company is in exploration stage and has incurred losses since inception of $2,841,182.  The Company is An Exploration Stage Enterprise, as defined in FASB ASC 915-10 “Development Stage Entities”.  During the year ended September 30, 2010, the Company decided to redirect its business focus toward coal, oil and natural gas exploration and development.

The accompanying audited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-K.
 
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation
The financial statements present the balance sheets, statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows of the Company. These financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2011 have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. For the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 the Company had a net loss of $1,952,064 and $777,221, respectively.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Stock based compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 “Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to an Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on the estimated fair values.

For non-employee stock-based compensation, the Company has adopted ASC Topic 505 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”, which requires stock-based compensation related to non-employees to be accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services on the grant date, whichever is more readily determinable in accordance with ASC Topic 505.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2011 and 2010

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)

Financial Instruments
ASC 825, Financial Instruments requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and promissory notes.

Pursuant to ASC 825, the fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and other payables approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations. Notes payable and loans payable approximate current fair value because interest is payable at market rates.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Net Loss per Share
Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Dilutive loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of the Company.  Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, the accompanying presentation is only of basic loss per share.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)

Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost.  Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed.  At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts.  Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.

The Company’s fixed assets consist of computer equipment, which is valued at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over a period of four years.

Website Development Costs
Costs incurred in developing and maintaining a website are charged to expense when incurred for the planning, content population, and administration or maintenance of the website. All development costs for the application, infrastructure, and graphics development are capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over a four year estimated economic life. For the years ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, the company recorded Website amortization of $9,754 and $2,894, respectively, and net Website asset of $26,297 and $28,297, respectively.

Revenue Recognition
Coal, oil, and natural gas revenues are recorded using the sales method, whereby the Company recognizes coal, oil and natural gas revenue based on the amount of coal, oil, and gas sold to purchasers, when title passes, the amount is determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.  Actual sales of coal, oil, and natural gas are based on sales, net of the associated volume charges for processing fees and for costs associated with delivery, transportation, marketing, and royalties in accordance with industry standards.  Operating costs and taxes are recognized in the same period in which revenue is earned.

Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.  As of September 30, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards; however, due to the uncertainty of realization, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets resulting from these loss carryforwards.

Mineral Property Costs
The Company has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.  It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining and coal properties.  Mineral property exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred.  When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property, are capitalized.  Such costs will be depleted using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral and coal properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title.  Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements that impacted the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, or which are expected to impact future periods, which were not already adopted and disclosed in prior periods.

Pursuant to the Assignment and Agreement, the Company paid in cash $150,000 to JBM and signed a 5% promissory note with a face value of $1,750,000 (“Promissory Note 1”) to JBM. During the first 2 years, the note carries no interest. On July 9, 2010 and January 9, 2011 additional cash payments of $200,000 and $200,000, respectively, was paid towards Promissory Note 1.  An additional amount of $100,000 is to be paid 90 days following the completion of the Reserve Study and Mining Plan, to be no later than April 9, 2012. Interest only payments on the $1,250,000 balance shall be made quarterly during the third and fourth years, starting July 9, 2012.  Starting July 9, 2014, the principal balance of $1,250,000 shall be paid in 8 equal quarterly installments, plus accrued interest on the unpaid principal balance to date of each principal payment. The promissory note to facilitate the agreements is contracted at an interest rate substantially below market rates for similar types of coal properties.   Accordingly, the Company imputed a discount of $613,812 at a market interest rate of 16% in accordance FASB ASC 835,”Interest”.  Should the Company make all necessary payments as indicated, up until April 9, 2012 and completes the Reserve Study and Mining Plan as anticipated in the agreement, but defaults on the $1,250,000 balance, the coal property will be returned to JBM and the Company will receive a 40% equity interest in JBM and the $1,250,000 balance will be cancelled.  Otherwise, if the Company defaults on Promissory Note 1, JBM at its option may terminate the agreement and or initiate action for any other remedy under the law.  At September 30, 2011, Promissory Note 1 is presented net of unamortized debt discount of $381,808 (2010 - $528,906). Under the Coal Buy Sell Agreement, JBM will be paid a royalty of $0.25 per ton on all coal when and as mined from the coal property.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of $1,158,146 that may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income through 2029 to 2031. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carryforwards.
 
Components of net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as follows at September 30, 2011 and 2010:
 
Deferred tax assets:
 
2011

Less: Valuation allowance
    (405,351 )     (79,404 )
Net deferred tax assets
  $ -     $ -  

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of September, 2011 was $405,351. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of September 30, 2011.
 
Reconciliation between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate is as follows at September 30, 2011 and 2010:

ITEM 17. 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:
 
(i)           To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii)           To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
 
(iii)           To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not 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 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 that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(5)           That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
 
(i)           Each prospectus filed by the registrant 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 of 1933 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.
 
(h)(3)
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.
