PART I
 
Item 1.   Business.
 
Our Background. United American Petroleum Corp. (“We” or the “Company”), formerly Forgehouse, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 19, 2004. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Exchange, dated January 31, 2008 (the “Exchange Agreement”), we acquired ForgeHouse LLC, a limited liability company. Between January 31, 2008 and December 16, 2009, we were solely engaged in the business of developing and selling physical security industry application and software (the “Prior Business”).  On December 16, 2009, we supplemented that business with the acquisition of, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Northern Future Energy Corp., a Nevada corporation (“NFEC”), which is engaged in the oil and gas business. On December 29, 2009, we discontinued the Prior Business and established our principal business of the acquisition of leasehold interests in petroleum and natural gas rights, either directly or indirectly, and the exploitation and development of properties subject to these leases.

On December 31, 2010, we entered into and closed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with our newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, United PC Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Merger Sub”), and United American Petroleum Corp., a Nevada Corporation (“United”)(the “Merger Transaction”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into United with United surviving, making United our new wholly-owned subsidiary.  Immediately thereafter and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, United merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving and we changed our name to “United American Petroleum Corp.” In connection with the Merger Transaction, we assumed all of United’s contractual obligations and acquired certain oil and gas properties of United in Texas. This brief description of the Merger Agreement is only a summary of the material terms and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement as attached as an exhibit in our Current Report on Form 8-K as filed on January 5, 2011.

We are qualified to do business in the State of Texas as “United American Petroleum Corp.”  We have not undergone bankruptcy, receivership, or any similar proceeding.

In connection with the Merger Transaction, Christian Negri resigned as our President and Secretary and remained as our Treasurer and a director.  Also on that date, our Board of Directors appointed Michael Carey, as our Chief Executive Officer, President and a director and appointed Ryan Hudson as our Chief Operating Officer and Secretary.

Our Business.  We are an exploration company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and gas properties.  Our principal business is the acquisition of leasehold interests in petroleum and natural gas rights, either directly or indirectly, and the exploitation and development of properties subject to these leases.  Our success will depend in large part on our ability to obtain and develop oil and gas interests within the United States and other countries. There can be no assurance that the oil and gas properties obtained by us will contain reserves or that properties with reserves will be profitable to extract.

Our Properties. On December 31, 2010, we completed the acquisition of United pursuant to the Merger Agreement.  As a result of the Merger Transaction, we acquired the following interests in certain oil and gas properties in Texas.
 
The Marcee 1 Interest. We own a 100% working interest in the Marcee 1 Tract, which is located on approximately 112 acres of land in Gonzalez County, Texas (“Marcee 1 Tract”). United performed a completion attempt on the well located on the Marcee 1 Tract and it is currently producing less than one barrel per day.
 
The Lozano Interest.  We own a 25% working interest in the Hector Lozano Tract, which is located on approximately 110 acres, located in Frio County, Texas (“Lozano Tract”). The Lozano Tract is a currently producing asset with three wells.
 
We also acquired all of United’s rights and interests in all operating agreements for all wells for which United it was currently operating. We also acquired all of United’s assets used in the business conducted at the Marcee 1 Tract and the Lozano Tract or at any well that United acts as the operator, including certain furniture and equipment.

The Patriot Minerals Interests.  On January 28, 2011, we acquired certain oil and gas interests from Patriot Minerals, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Patriot”), pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Patriot Purchase and Sale Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Patriot Purchase and Sale Agreement, we purchased multiple undivided working interests to certain existing wells and to certain leases located in Texas (“Patriot Interests”)  in exchange for us entering into an independent contractor agreement with Jamie Teahan (“Consultant”) to provide services with respect to our ownership of the Patriot Interests (“Consultant Agreement”).  The Consultant Agreement contemplates: (i) a monthly consulting fee of $5,000; (ii) term of no less than 30 days; and (iii) reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Consultant in connection with certain performance of services to us.

The Patriot Interests we acquired consist of certain undivided working interests including, but not limited to (i) the Welder lease in Duval County, TX; (ii) the Bailey Rogers and Fohn leases in Medina County, TX; (iii) the Walker Smith lease in Wilbarger County, TX; (iv) the Merrick Davis lease in Shackelford County, TX; and (v) the Crouch, Heady and Lane leases in Erath County, TX.  This brief description of the Patriot Purchase and Sale Agreement is only a summary that discloses all material terms of the agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K as filed on February 3, 2011.

At the time of our acquisition of the Patriot Interests, all wells were shut in due to various factors including, but not limited to, bad weather and Patriot’s insufficient payment of operating expenses to maintain the Patriot Interests.  We are currently visiting each of the lease sites and are in the process of developing plans with the working interest partners for each of the leases. We expect we will have to expend significant capital to maintain the Patriot Interests and complete our analysis of the leases.

The Gabriel and Rosser Interests.  On January 28, 2011, we acquired certain oil and gas interests located in Bastrop County, TX, from Gabriel Rosser, LP (“Gabriel”), pursuant to a Purchase Sale and Participation Agreement (“Gabriel Participation Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Gabriel Participation Agreement, we purchased Gabriel's undivided 50.83% working interest and 39.131% revenue interest in as the Gabriel 2 SWD Gabriel 3, 4, 5, 9, 15, Rosser #2 and #4 and Koi #1wells (“Gabriel Interests”) in exchange for consideration of $10 and the obligation to pay certain expenses of approximately $85,000, which were owed to certain vendors to the Gabriel Interests.
 
Pursuant to the Participation Agreement, we acquired certain interests including, but not limited to (i) Gabriel's undivided 50.83% working interest; and (ii) 39.131% revenue interest in as the Gabriel 2 SWD Gabriel 3, 4, 5, 9, 15, Rosser #2 and #4 and Koi #1wells. This brief description of the Gabriel Participation Agreement is only a summary that discloses all material terms of the agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to our Current Report on Form 8-K as filed on February 3, 2011.
 
At the time of our acquisition of the Gabriel Interests, all wells were not producing. The Gabriel Interests comprise over 400 acres, with approximately 10 wells that were shut in. The Rosser #4 well was re-entered and re-equipped in March 2011 and production has commenced. The Gabriel #9 well has also recently been re-equipped and is awaiting electrical power in order to commence production. We believe the Gabriel #9 well will be online and producing in the near future.
  
Our Subsidiaries.

Northern Future Energy Corp.  We also own certain oil and gas interests located near Anchorage, Alaska, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Northern Future Energy Corp.  Northern Future Energy Corp. acquired an oil and gas lease for State of Alaska Oil and Gas Lease ADL 391120 Tract: CI2006-464, which contains approximately 545 acres, pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated November 2009.  Production on the properties has not commenced and there can be no assurance that any hydrocarbons will be economically recoverable, if at all. We have conducted limited pre-production activities in the past and we intend to conduct additional activities, such as a multi-phase exploration program of trenching, sampling, geophysical surveys and test drilling, as soon as our new management is able to evaluate the interests. We also intend to conduct exploratory activities on the properties in the foreseeable future.  NFEC has not undergone bankruptcy, receivership, or any similar proceeding.

United Operating, LLC. In connection with the Patriot Purchase and Sale Agreement, on January 13, 2011, we formed our wholly-owned subsidiary, United Operating, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, for the purpose of operating various interests set forth in the Patriot Purchase and Sale Agreement, including, but not limited to: (i) the Merrick Davis #16 & #17 wells in Shackelford County, TX; (ii) the Crouch and Lane Heady wells in Erath County, TX; (iii) the Merrick Davis wells in Shackelford County, TX; (iv) the Walker Smith #22D well in Wilbarger County, TX; and (v) the Walker Smith wells in Wilbarger County, TX.  United Operating, LLC, has not undergone bankruptcy, receivership, or any similar proceeding.

UAP Management, LLC.  In connection with the Gabriel Participation Agreement, on January 13, 2011, we formed our wholly-owned subsidiary, UAP Management, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, for the purpose of managing the Gabriel Interests. UAP Management, LLC, has not undergone bankruptcy, receivership, or any similar proceeding.

Business Strategy. Our strategy is to increase shareholder value through strategic acquisitions, appraisal drilling and development. We are focused on the acquisition, appraisal development and exploitation of oil properties.  We are also searching for possible joint-ventures and new prospects that fit our strategic focus.

Competition.  The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive.  We compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas companies, which have substantially greater technical, financial, and operational resources and staffs.  Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable oil and gas leases, suitable properties for drilling operations, and necessary drilling equipment, as well as for access to funds.
 
Intellectual Property. We do not presently own any copyrights, patents or trademarks. We own the Internet domain name www.unitedamericanpetroleum.com.  Under current domain name registration practices, no one else can obtain an identical domain name, but someone might obtain a similar name, or the identical name with a different suffix, such as “.org”, or with a country designation. The regulation of domain names in the United States and in foreign countries is subject to change, and we could be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that infringe or otherwise decrease the value of our domain names.

We may also protect various other words, names, symbols, and devices that are used with goods produced by us to distinguish them from those produced by others through the use of trademarks, and will identify and distinguish the source of several of our services through the use of service marks. These would include brand names for our wines and logos on the wine labels.  We have not filed applications to protect any other trade or service marks. We cannot guaranty we will receive such trade or service mark protection if we make an application.
 
Government Regulation.  Our oil and gas operations are subject to various federal, state, and local governmental regulations.  Matters subject to regulation include discharge permits for drilling operations, drilling and abandonment bonds, reports concerning operations, the spacing of wells, and pooling of properties, and taxation.  From time to time, regulatory agencies have imposed price controls and limitations on production by restricting the rate of flow of oil and gas wells below actual production capacity in order to conserve supplies of oil and gas.  The production, handling, storage, transportation, and disposal of oil and gas, by-products thereof, and other substances and materials produced or used in connection with oil and gas operations are also subject to regulation under federal, state, provincial, and local laws and regulations relating primarily to the protection of human health and the environment.  To date, our expenditures related to complying with these laws, and for remediation of existing environmental contamination, have not been significant.  The requirements imposed by such laws and regulations are frequently changed and subject to interpretation, and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with these requirements or their effect on our operations.
 
Employees.  As of April 12, 2011, we have four employees.  We expect to utilize independent contractors, consultants, and other personnel from time to time to assist in our business efforts.  

Our Facilities.  We maintain our corporate offices for approximately $200 per month and the lease expires in March 2012.  We also maintain our operational offices for $1,500 per month on a month to month basis.  We believe our current office space and facilities are sufficient to meet our current and future needs.  We do not anticipate the need to secure additional space.

Internet Website.  Our website is located at www.unitedamericanpetroleum.com. Our website describes each of our oil and gas projects, our management and provides additional information regarding our industry.

Legal Proceedings. We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
 
In addition to the other information in this prospectus, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating our business before purchasing any of our shares of common stock. A purchase of our common stock is speculative in nature and involves a lot of risks. No purchase of our common stock should be made by any person who is not in a position to lose the entire amount of his investment.

We have a limited history operating in the oil and gas industry.  As a result, it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business and prospects.
 
We entered the oil and gas business in December 2009. Our limited operating history makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations. Since our formation, we have generated only limited revenues. As an early stage company, we are subject to all the risks inherent in the financing, expenditures, operations, complications and delays inherent in a new business. Accordingly, our business and success faces risks from uncertainties faced by developing companies in a competitive environment. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or that we will ultimately be able to attain profitability.
 
Because we are an exploration stage company, we have limited revenues to sustain our operations.
 
We are an exploration stage company that is currently developing our business. To date, we have only generated limited revenues. The success of our business operations will depend upon our ability to obtain clients and provides quality services to those clients. We are not able to predict whether we will be able to develop our business and generate significant revenues. If we are not able to complete the successful development of our business plan, generate significant revenues and attain sustainable operations, then our business will fail.
 
We have a history of net losses which will continue and which may negatively impact our ability to achieve our business objectives.
 
For the period from inception August 10, 2010 to December 31, 2010, United American Petroleum Corp., which was acquired by us, had revenue of $10,213 and a net loss of $72,496. We cannot guaranty that our future operations will result in net income. We may not be able to operate profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future and we will likely continue to have net losses for the foreseeable future. If our revenues grow more slowly than we anticipate or our operating expenses exceed our expectations, our operating results will suffer.
 
Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue operations as a “going concern.” Investors may lose all of their investment if we are unable to continue operations and generate revenues, or if we do not raise sufficient funds.
 
We will seek to raise additional funds to meet our working capital needs principally through the additional sales of our securities.  However, we cannot guaranty that we will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds when needed, or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to us.  If we do not raise sufficient funds, we may not be able to continue in business.  As a result, our auditors believe that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue operations as a going concern.
 
As our properties are in the exploration stage, there can be no assurance that we will establish commercial discoveries on our properties.

Exploration for economic reserves of oil and gas is subject to a number of risk factors.  Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing oil and/or gas wells.  Our properties are in the exploration stage only and are without proven reserves of oil and gas.  Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon locating and developing economic reserves of oil and gas, which itself is subject to numerous risk factors as set forth herein.  We may not establish commercial discoveries on any of our properties.

Our exploration appraisal and development activities are subject to many risks which may affect our ability to profitably extract oil reserves or achieve targeted returns.  In addition, continued growth requires that we acquire and successfully develop additional oil reserves.
 
Oil exploration may involve unprofitable efforts, not only from dry wells, but from wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net revenues to return a profit after drilling, operating and other costs. Completion of a well does not assure a profit on the investment or recovery of drilling, completion and operating costs. In addition, drilling hazards or environmental damage could greatly increase the cost of operations, and various field operating conditions may negatively affect the production from successful wells. These conditions include delays in obtaining governmental approvals or consents, shut-ins of connected wells resulting from extreme weather conditions, insufficient storage or transportation capacity or other geological and mechanical conditions. While diligent well supervision and effective maintenance operations can contribute to maximizing production rates over time, production delays and declines from normal field operating conditions cannot be eliminated and can be expected to negatively affect revenue and cash flow levels to varying degrees.

Our ability to successfully market and sell oil is subject to a number of factors that are beyond our control, and that may adversely impact our ability to produce and sell oil, or to achieve profitability.
 
The marketability and price of oil that may be acquired or discovered by us will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control.  Our ability to market our oil may depend upon our ability to acquire space on pipelines that deliver oil to commercial markets. We may be affected by deliverability uncertainties related to the proximity of our reserves to pipelines and processing facilities, by operational problems with such pipelines and facilities, and by government regulation relating to price, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production, the export of oil and by many other aspects of the oil business.
 
Our revenues and future growth and the carrying value of our oil properties are substantially dependent on prevailing prices of oil. Our ability to borrow and to obtain additional capital on attractive terms is also substantially dependent upon oil and natural gas prices. Prices for oil and natural gas are subject to large fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for oil, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors beyond our control. These factors include economic conditions, in the United States and Canada, the actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, governmental regulation, political stability in the Middle East and elsewhere, the foreign supply of oil, the price of foreign imports and the availability of alternative fuel sources. Any substantial and extended decline in the price of oil would have an adverse effect on our borrowing capacity, revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations.
  
Volatile oil prices make it difficult to estimate the value of producing properties for acquisition and often cause disruption in the market for oil producing properties, as buyers and sellers have difficulty agreeing on such value. Price volatility also makes it difficult to budget for and project the return on acquisitions and development and exploitation projects.
 
We cannot guaranty that title to our properties does not contain a defect that may materially affect our interest in those properties.
 
It is our practice in acquiring significant oil leases or interest in oil leases to retain lawyers to fully examine the title to the interest under the lease.  In the case of minor acquisitions, we rely upon the judgment of oil lease brokers or landmen who do the field work in examining records in the appropriate governmental office before attempting to place under lease a specific interest. We believe that this practice is widely followed in the oil industry. Nevertheless, there may be title defects which affect lands comprising a portion of our properties which may adversely affect us.
 
Our properties are held in the form of leases and working interests in operating agreements and leases. If the specific requirements of such licenses, leases and working interests are not met, the instrument may terminate or expire.
 
All of our properties are held under interests in oil and gas leases and working interests in operating agreements and leases. If we fail to meet the specific requirements of each lease or working interest, especially future drilling and production requirements, the lease may be terminated or otherwise expire. We cannot be assured that we will be able to meet our obligations under each lease and working interest. The termination or expiration of our working interest relating to any lease would harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Competition in the oil and gas industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring properties or leases.

The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive.  We compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas companies, which have substantially greater technical, financial, and operational resources and staff.  Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable oil and gas leases, suitable properties for drilling operations, and necessary drilling equipment, as well as for access to funds. We cannot predict if the necessary funds can be raised or that any projected work will be completed.  Desirable acreage may not become available or if it is available for leasing, that we may not be successful in acquiring the leases.

The marketability of natural resources will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control which may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

The marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by us will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control.  These factors include market fluctuations in oil and gas pricing and demand, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulation concerning the importing and exporting of oil and gas, and environmental protection regulations.  The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable. 
 
Oil and gas operations are subject to comprehensive regulation, which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, causing an adverse effect on us.

Our operations in the United States are subject to regulation at the federal, state and local levels, including regulation relating to matters such as the exploration for and the development, production, marketing, pricing, transmission and storage of oil, as well as environmental and safety matters.  Failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in fines or penalties being owed to third parties or governmental entities, the payment of which could negatively impact our financial condition or results of operations.  Our operations are subject to significant laws and regulations, which may negatively affect our ability to conduct business or increase our costs.  Extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to health and environmental quality in the United States affect nearly all of our operations.  These laws and regulations set various standards regulating various aspects of health and environmental quality, provide for penalties and other liabilities for the violation of these standards, and in some circumstances, establish obligations to remediate current and former facilities and off-site locations.
 
Environmental legislation provides for, among other things, restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with oil operations. The legislation also requires that wells and facility sites be operated, maintained, abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authorities. Compliance with such legislation can require significant expenditures and a breach may result in the imposition of fines and penalties, some of which may be material. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner expected to result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability and potentially increased capital expenditures and operating costs. The discharge of oil or other pollutants into the air, soil or water may give rise to liabilities to governments and third parties and may require us to incur costs to remedy such discharge. No assurance can be given that environmental laws will not result in a curtailment of production or a material increase in the costs of production, development or exploration activities or otherwise adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations or prospects.  We could incur significant liability for damages, clean-up costs and/or penalties in the event of discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by us or previous owners of our property or non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations. In addition to actions brought by governmental agencies, we could face actions brought by private parties or citizens groups.
 
Moreover, we cannot predict what legislation or regulations will be enacted in the future or how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered, enforced or made more stringent. Compliance with more stringent laws or regulations, or more vigorous enforcement policies of the regulatory agencies, could require us to make material expenditures for the installation and operation of systems and equipment for remedial measures, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Exploratory drilling involves many risks and we may become liable for pollution or other liabilities, which may have an adverse effect on our financial position.

Drilling operations generally involve a high degree of risk.  Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, power outages, labor disruptions, blow-outs, sour gas leakage, fire, inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor, and other risks are involved.  We may become subject to liability for pollution or hazards against which we cannot adequately insure or that we may elect not to insure.  Incurring any such liability may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operations.

Seasonal weather conditions and other factors could adversely affect our ability to conduct drilling activities.
 
Our operations could be adversely affected by seasonal weather conditions and wildlife restrictions on federal leases. In some areas, certain drilling and other oil and gas activities can only be conducted during limited times of the year, typically during the summer months. This would limit our ability to operate in these areas and could intensify competition during those times for drilling rigs, oil field equipment, services, supplies and qualified personnel, which may lead to periodic shortages. These constraints and the resulting shortages or high costs could delay our operations and materially increase our operating and capital costs, which could have a material adverse effect upon us and our results of operations.

We depend on the services of third parties for material aspects of our operations, including drilling operators, and accordingly if we cannot obtain certain third party services, we may not be able to operate.
 
We rely on third parties to operate some of the assets in which we possess an interest. The success of our oil operations, whether considered on the basis of drilling operations or production operations, will depend largely on whether the operator of the property properly fulfils our obligations.  As a result, our ability to exercise influence over the operation of these assets or their associated costs may be limited.  Our performance will therefore depend upon a number of factors that may be outside of our full control, including the timing and amount of capital expenditures, the operator’s expertise and financial resources, the approval of other participants, the selection of technology, and risk management practices.  The failure of third party operators and their contractors to perform their services in a proper manner could adversely affect our operations.

We will need additional financing to continue and grow our operations, which financing may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.

We will need to raise additional funds to fund our operations or grow our business.  Additional financing may not be available on terms or at times favorable to us, or at all.  If adequate funds are not available when required or on acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue and grow our operations.  In addition, such additional financing transactions, if successful, may result in additional dilution of our stockholders.  They may also result in the issuance of securities with rights, preferences, and other characteristics superior to those of the common stock and, in the case of debt or preferred stock financings, may subject us to covenants that restrict our ability to operate our business freely.
 
The loss or unavailability of our key personnel for an extended period of time could adversely affect our business operations and prospects.
 
Our success depends in large measure on certain key personnel, including Michael Carey, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Ryan Hudson, our Secretary and Chief Operating Officer. The loss of the services of Mr. Carey and Mr. Hudson could significantly hinder our operations.  Although we are looking into acquiring key person insurance, we do not currently have such insurance in effect for Mr. Carey or Mr. Hudson. In addition, the competition for qualified personnel in the oil industry is intense and there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to attract and retain all personnel necessary for the development and operation of our business. 

The costs and effects of litigation, investigations, or similar matters could adversely affect our financial position and result of operations.

We may be involved from time to time in a variety of litigation, investigations, or similar matters arising out of our business.  Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against us, and any claims asserted against us, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, may harm our reputation.  If the ultimate judgments or settlements in any litigation or investigation significantly exceed insurance coverage, they could adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.  In addition, we may be unable to obtain appropriate types or levels of insurance in the future.
  
We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which will be expensive.
 
We are a public reporting company in the U.S. and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securities laws, and the compliance obligations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders will cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if we remained a privately-held company.
 
Our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC rules concerning internal controls is time consuming, difficult and costly.
 
We are a reporting company with the SEC and therefore must comply with Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC rules concerning internal controls.  It is time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by Sarbanes-Oxley.  In order to expand our operations, we  will need to hire additional financial reporting, internal control, and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley’s internal controls requirements, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications that Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires us to obtain.
 
 
9

 
Failure to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls could impair our ability to provide accurate financial statements and comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which could cause our stock price to decrease substantially.
 
We intend to amend certain of our prior periodic reports to include required disclosures that were previously omitted from those periodic reports. The filing of amendments to those periodic reports will necessitate a redetermination of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures for those periods.   We have committed limited personnel and resources to the development of the external reporting and compliance obligations that are required of a public company. We have taken measures to address and improve our financial reporting and compliance capabilities and we are in the process of instituting changes to satisfy our obligations in connection with being a public company. We plan to obtain additional financial and accounting resources to support and enhance our ability to meet the requirements of being a public company. We will need to continue to improve our financial and managerial controls, reporting systems and procedures, and documentation thereof. If our financial and managerial controls, reporting systems, or procedures fail, we may not be able to provide accurate financial statements on a timely basis or comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as it applies to us. Any failure of our internal controls or our ability to provide accurate financial statements could cause the trading price of our common stock to decrease substantially.

Our common shares are thinly-traded, and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares or otherwise desire to liquidate such shares.
 
We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained due to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors, and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.
 
The market price for our common stock may be particularly volatile given our status as a relatively small company with a thinly-traded “float” and lack of significant revenues that could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your common stock at or above your purchase price if at all, which may result in substantial losses to you.
 
The market for our common shares may be characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The potential volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common shares may be sporadically and/or thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our stockholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer that could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, an investment in us is a speculative or “risky” investment due to our lack of revenues or profits to date and uncertainty of future market acceptance for current and potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer.
 
Stockholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through pre-arranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.

If a trading market for our common shares does develop, trading prices may be volatile.
 
In the event that an orderly trading market develops and is maintained for our common shares, the market price of such shares may be based on factors that may not be indicative of future market performance.  Consequently, the market price of our shares may vary greatly.  If an orderly market for our shares develops and is maintained, there is a significant risk that our share price may fluctuate dramatically in the future in response to any of the following factors, some of which are beyond our control:

variations in our operating results;
changes in expectations of our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors;
changes in operating and stock price performance of other companies in our industry;
additions or departures of key personnel; and
future sales of our common stock.
 
Domestic and international stock markets often experience significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions unrelated to our performance, may adversely affect the price of our common stock. In particular, following initial public offerings, the market prices for stocks of companies often reach levels that bear no established relationship to the operating performance of these companies. These market prices are generally not sustainable and could vary widely. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a public company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been initiated.  

Volatility in our common stock price may subject us to securities litigation.
 
The market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.
 
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends.
 
We presently do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends on any of our capital stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends, if any, would be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition. The payment of any dividends will be within the discretion of our Board of Directors. We presently intend to retain all earnings, if any, to implement our business plan; accordingly, we do not anticipate the declaration of any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Because we may be subject to the “penny stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced which may make it difficult for investors to sell their shares.
 
Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks, like shares of our common stock, generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security subject to the penny stock rules, and investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares.

We will need additional capital, and the sale of additional shares or other equity securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders.
 
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for the near future. We will require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we will seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of additional indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

We lack a public market for shares of our common stock, which may make it difficult for investors to sell their shares.
 
There is no public market for shares of our common stock. We cannot guaranty that an active public market will develop or be sustained. Therefore, investors may not be able to find purchasers for their shares of our common stock. Should there develop a significant market for our shares, the market price for those shares may be significantly affected by such factors as our financial results and introduction of new products and services.  Factors such as announcements of new services by us or our competitors and quarter-to-quarter variations in our results of operations, as well as market conditions in our sector may have a significant impact on the market price of our shares. Further, the stock market has experienced extreme volatility that has particularly affected the market prices of stock of many companies and that often has been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies.

 Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.

Item 2.  Properties.
 
Our Facilities. We maintain our corporate offices for approximately $200 per month and the lease expires in March 2012.  We also maintain our operational offices for $1,500 per month on a month to month basis.  We believe our current office space and facilities are sufficient to meet our current and future needs.  We do not anticipate the need to secure additional space.

Further, we have the following interests in oil and gas properties as detailed below:
  
The Marcee 1 Interest. As a result of the Merger Transaction, we own a 100% working interest in the Marcee 1 Tract, which is located on approximately 112 acres of land in Gonzalez County, Texas (“Marcee 1 Tract”). United performed a completion attempt on the well located on the Marcee 1 Tract and it is currently producing less than one barrel per day.
 
The Lozano Interest.  As a result of the Merger Transaction, we own a 25% working interest in the Hector Lozano Tract, which is located on approximately 110 acres, located in Frio County, Texas (“Lozano Tract”). The Lozano Tract is a currently producing asset with three wells.
 
We also acquired all of United’s rights and interests in all operating agreements for all wells for which it was currently operating. We also acquired all of United’s assets used in the business conducted at the Marcee 1 Tract and the Lozano Tract or at any well that United acts as the operator, including certain furniture and equipment.

Company Reserve Estimates.
 
Our proved reserve information as of December 31, 2010 was estimated by Nova Resource, Inc. (“Nova”), independent petroleum engineers.  In accordance with SEC guidelines, Nova’s estimates of future net revenues from our properties, and the PV-10 and standardized measure thereof, were determined to be economically producible under existing economic conditions, which requires the use of the 12-month average price for each product, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for the period January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010, except where such guidelines permit alternate treatment, including the use of fixed and determinable contractual price escalations.
  
The technical person at Nova is responsible for preparing the reserves estimates presented herein and meets the requirements regarding qualifications, independence, objectivity, and confidentiality set forth in the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers. Michael Carey, our officer and director, acted as the liaison with the technical person at Nova. 
 
Reserve Technologies. Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations, prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.  If deterministic methods are used, reasonable certainty means a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered.  If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate.  To achieve reasonable certainty, Nova employed technologies that have been demonstrated to yield results with consistency and repeatability. The technologies and economic data used in the estimation of our proved reserves include, but are not limited to, well logs, geologic maps and available down well and production data, seismic data, well test data.
 
Oil and Gas Reserve Information. The following reserve quantities and future net cash flow information for our proved reserves located in the State of Texas in the United States have been estimated as of December 31, 2010.  The determination of oil and gas reserves is based on estimates, which are highly complex and interpretive. The estimates are subject to continuing change as additional information becomes available.

During the period from inception (August 10, 2010) through December 31, 2010, we acquired an estimated 1,806 bbls of proved undeveloped net oil reserves in place in connection with our purchase of the Lozano lease in Frio County, Texas of approximately 82.5 net acres consisting of four (4) wells.  None of the proved undeveloped oil reserves were converted during the period ended December 31, 2010 as we are reviewing the production performance and assessment of the remaining recoverable resources.  In addition, there were no proved undeveloped reserves over five (5) years.

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is provided using the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average and were held constant throughout the life of the properties. The oil price used as of December 31, 2010 was $79 per bbl of oil. Future production costs are based on year-end costs and include severance and ad valorem taxes. Each property that is leased by us is also charged with field-level overhead in the reserve calculation. The present value of future cash inflows is based on a 10% discount rate.

Production.
 
For the period from inception (August 10, 2010) through December 31, 2010, we only had production from our interest in the Lozano lease located in Frio County, Texas.  During For the period from inception (August 10, 2010) through December 31, 2010, we produced approximately 124 barrels on a net basis. Based on the net production for the period from inception (August 10, 2010) through December 31, 2010, our average sales price per barrel was $82.33 on a net basis and the average production cost per barrel was $49.95 on a net basis.

We also own certain oil and gas interests located near Anchorage, Alaska, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, NFEC.  NFEC acquired an oil and gas lease for State of Alaska Oil and Gas Lease ADL 391120 Tract: CI2006-464, which contains approximately 545 acres, pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated November 2009.  Production on the properties has not commenced and there can be no assurance that any hydrocarbons will be economically recoverable, if at all. We have conducted limited pre-production activities in the past and we intend to conduct additional activities, such as a multi-phase exploration program of trenching, sampling, geophysical surveys and test drilling, as soon as our new management is able to evaluate the interests. We also intend to conduct exploratory activities on the properties in the foreseeable future.  NFEC has not undergone bankruptcy, receivership, or any similar proceeding.

Reports to Security Holders.  We are a reporting company with the SEC.  The public may read and copy any materials filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the Security and Exchange Commission’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may also obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the Securities and Exchange Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330.  The Securities and Exchange Commission maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The address of that site is http://www.sec.gov.

Holders.  On April 13, 2011, we had approximately 18 stockholders of record.  The number of stockholders of record does not include beneficial owners of our common stock, whose shares are held in the names of various dealers, clearing agencies, banks, brokers and other fiduciaries.
 
Dividends. We currently anticipate that we will not declare or pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We will pay dividends on our common stock only if and when declared by our board of directors.  Our board of directors’ ability to declare a dividend is subject to restrictions imposed by Nevada law.  In determining whether to declare dividends, the board of directors will consider these restrictions as well as our financial condition, results of operations, working capital requirements, future prospects and other factors it considers relevant.
 
As of December 31, 2010, we had $620,000 of secured convertible debt that was convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.50 per share.

As of December 31, 2010, we had the outstanding warrants to purchase 620,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share
 
 
16

 
Securities Authorized For Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans. As of December 31, 2010, we had no compensation plans under which our equity securities were authorized for issuance.
 
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we had the following sales of unregistered securities:

Pursuant to the Merger Transaction and on December 31, 2010, we issued to stockholders of United an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of our common stock upon conversion of the 10,000,000 shares of United’s common stock.  The issuance of those 15,000,000 shares of our common stock was made in reliance on Rule 506 of Regulation D, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act.  
 
In connection with the Merger Transaction and on December 31, 2010, we entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (“Financing Agreement”) with one investor pursuant to which the investor agreed to lend up to $2,250,000 to us in multiple installments in exchange for a senior secured convertible promissory note with a conversion price of $0.50 per share and five-year warrants to acquire shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share in the amount of each installment. The first installment of $620,000 was delivered on December 31, 2010, and we issued 620,000 warrants to the investor in connection with that installment. The Financing Agreement provides that the investor will lend additional installments to us in amounts as requested by us; provided however, that we provide the proposed use of proceeds for each requested amount. The investor shall have sole discretion in determining whether the proposed use of proceeds meets those requirements. The note and warrants were issued in a transaction which we believe satisfies the requirements of that exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, which exemption is specified by the provisions of Regulation S promulgated pursuant to that act by the SEC.

Use of Proceeds of Registered Securities. There were no sales of registered securities during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Penny Stock Regulation.  Trading of our securities will be in the over-the-counter markets which are commonly referred to as the “pink sheets” or on the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of the securities offered.

Shares of our common stock will probably be subject to rules adopted the Securities and Exchange Commission that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks”.  Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in those securities is provided by the exchange or system).  The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which contains the following:

·
  a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and
  secondary trading;
·
  a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to
 the customer with respect to violation to such duties or other requirements of securities’ laws;
·
  a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask” prices for penny stocks
  and the significance of the spread between the "bid" and "ask" price;
·
  a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
·
  definitions of significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of  trading in penny
 stocks;  and
·
  such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format), as the Securities
 and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation.
 
 
 
17

 
Prior to effecting any transaction in penny stock, the broker-dealer also must provide the customer the following:

·
  the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
·
  the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
·
  the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to
  the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and
·
  monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules.  Holders of shares of our common stock may have difficulty selling those shares because our common stock will probably be subject to the penny stock rules.

Purchases of Equity Securities. None during the period covered by this report.

Forward Looking Statements
 
This Annual Report of United American Petroleum Corp. on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements, particularly those identified with the words, “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends”, “objectives” and similar expressions. These statements reflect management's best judgment based on factors known at the time of such statements. The reader may find discussions containing such forward-looking statements in the material set forth under “Management's Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operations,” generally, and specifically therein under the captions “Liquidity and Capital Resources” as well as elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed herein. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements. The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates. Our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods.  Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes oil and gas revenue from interests in producing wells using the “sales method.” Under this method of accounting, revenues are recognized based on volumes sold, which may differ from the volume to which we are entitled based on our working interest. An imbalance is recognized as a liability only when the estimated remaining reserves will not be sufficient to enable the under–produced owner(s) to recoup its entitled share through future production.  Under the sales method, no receivables are recorded where we have taken less than our share of production. Our net imbalance position at December 31, 2010, was immaterial.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
The Company collects its receivables on its working interests in oil and gas properties from the well operators. As such, the Company generally has relatively few customers. These receivables are unsecured and the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of the well operators’ financial condition whenever necessary. Bad debt is recognized on an account-by-account review after all means of collection have been exhausted and recovery is not probable. There has been no bad debt expense for the period ended December 31, 2010.
 
Oil and Gas Properties
 
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its investments in oil and gas properties. Under the full cost method, all costs associated with the exploration of properties are capitalized into appropriate cost centers within the full cost pool.  Internal costs that are capitalized are limited to those costs that can be directly identified with acquisition, exploration, and development activities undertaken and do not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead, or similar activities.  Cost centers are established on a country-by-country basis.
 
Capitalized costs within the cost centers are amortized on the unit-of-production basis using proved oil and gas reserves. The cost of investments in unproved properties and major development projects are excluded from capitalized costs to be amortized until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties. Until such a determination is made, the properties are assessed annually to ascertain whether impairment has occurred.  The costs of drilling exploratory dry holes are included in the amortization base immediately upon determination that the well is dry.
 
 
19

 
For each cost center, capitalized costs are subject to an annual ceiling test, in which the costs shall not exceed the cost center ceiling.  The cost center ceiling is equal to i) the present value of estimated future net revenues computed by applying current prices of oil and gas reserves (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions;  plus ii) the cost of properties not being amortized; plus iii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized; less iv) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the properties.  If unamortized costs capitalized within a cost center, less related deferred income taxes, exceed the cost center ceiling, the excess is charged to expense and separately disclosed during the period in which the excess occurs.
 
Asset Retirement Obligations
 
ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs.    Specifically, ASC 410 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made.  In addition, the asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the asset’s carrying value and subsequently allocated to expense over the asset’s useful life.  
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Unless otherwise indicated, the fair value of all reported assets and liabilities which represent financial instruments approximate the carrying values of such instruments due to their short-term maturity.
 
Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”).  ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  
 
Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.  The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows.  Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets would be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset.  ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
 
Share-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Stock Compensation (“ASC 718-10”).  This 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.
 
As of December 31, 2010, there were no outstanding employee stock options.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”).  ASC 740-10 requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are expected to be realized.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2008, the SEC issued Release No. 33-8995,Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting (ASC 2010-3), which amended the oil and gas disclosures for oil and gas producers contained in Regulations S-K and S-X, and added a section to Regulation S-K (Subpart 1200) to codify the revised disclosure requirements in Securities Act Industry Guide 2, which was eliminated. The goal of Release No. 33-8995 is to provide investors with a more meaningful and comprehensive understanding of oil and gas reserves. Energy companies affected by Release No. 33-8995 are now required to price proved oil and gas reserves using the unweighted arithmetic average of the price on the first day of each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based on future conditions. SEC Release No. 33-8995 is effective beginning for financial statements for fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2009. The Company adopted SEC Release No. 33-8995 effective December 31, 2009. The impact on the Company's operating results, financial position and cash flows has been recorded in the financial statements and additional disclosures were added to the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for the Company's supplemental oil and gas disclosure.
 
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-03 Oil and Gas Estimation and Disclosures  (ASU 2010-03). This update aligns the current oil and natural gas reserve estimation and disclosure requirements of the Extractive Industries Oil and Gas topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC Topic 932) with the changes required by the SEC final rule ASC 2010-3. As discussed above, ASU 2010-03 expands the disclosures required for equity method investments, revises the definition of oil- and natural gas-producing activities to include nontraditional resources in reserves unless not intended to be upgraded into synthetic oil or natural gas, amends the definition of proved oil and natural gas reserves to require 12-month average pricing in estimating reserves, amends and adds definitions in the Master Glossary that is used in estimating proved oil and natural gas quantities and provides guidance on geographic area with respect to disclosure of information about significant reserves. ASU 2010-03 must be applied prospectively as a change in accounting principle that is inseparable from a change in accounting estimate and is effective for entities with annual reporting periods ending on or after a change in accounting estimate and is effective for entities with annual reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2009. The Company adopted ASU 2010-03 effective December 31, 2009.
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-17, Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition. The amendments in this update are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year, the entity should apply the amendments retrospectively from the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-17 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
There were various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Overview. On December 31, 2010, Forgehouse, Inc.  (“Forgehouse,” “We” or the “Company”) entered into and closed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among, the Company, United American Petroleum Corp., a Nevada corporation (“United”), and our newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, United PC Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Merger Sub”)(the “Merger Transaction”).  The transaction contemplated under the Merger Agreement was deemed to be a reverse acquisition, where Forgehouse, Inc. (the legal acquirer) is considered the accounting acquiree and United (the legal acquiree) is considered the accounting acquirer.  Forgehouse is deemed a continuation of the business of United, and the historical financial statements of United became the historical financial statements of Forgehouse.
 
On October 15, 2010, United purchased the Lozano working interest from 4 Phoenix Oil and Gas, LLC (“Phoenix” or “Predecessor”). As a result of correspondence from the staff at the SEC, we have determined that Phoenix is our Predecessor thereby triggering predecessor accounting and financial statement presentation.  Predecessor company references herein relate to Phoenix. Successor company references herein are referring to consolidated information pertaining to the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with (i) the Predecessor’s statement of operations, cash flows and changes in members’ equity for the period from January 1, 2010 to October 15, 2010 and (ii) our financial statements for the period of October 16, 2010 through December 31, 2010, together with notes thereto as included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

For the Predecessor’s period from January 1, 2010 through October 15, 2010 as compared to the Predecessor period from October 19, 2009 through December 31, 2009.

Results of Operations.
 
Revenues.  The Predecessor had oil revenues of $39,800 for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2010 through October 15, 2010 as compared to oil revenues of $11,935 for the Predecessor period from October 19, 2009 through December 31, 2009. Those revenues were generated from the Predecessor’s interest in the Lozano lease in Frio County, Texas.
 
Operating Expenses.  The Predecessor’s total operating costs and expenses for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2010 through October 15, 2010 were $55,659, which was comprised of lease operating costs of $22,217, depletion and accretion expenses of $14,446, general and administrative expenses of $52,138, professional fees of $31,058 and a gain on the sale of property and equipment of $64,200.  For the Predecessor period from October 19, 2009 through December 31, 2009, the Predecessor’s total operating costs and expenses were $13,820, which was comprised of lease operating costs of $7,103, depletion and accretion expenses of $5,217 and professional fees of $1,500.   Lease operating costs relate to operating costs associated with the Predecessor’s oil and gas properties.  General and administrative expenses relate to wages, corporate maintenance costs and administrative expenses associated with the Predecessor’s leases.  Professional fees relate to legal and accounting expenditures.

Net Loss.  For the Predecessor period from January 1, 2010 through October 15, 2010, the Predecessor’s net loss was $15,859, as compared to the Predecessor’s net loss of $1,885 for the Predecessor period from October 19, 2009 through December 31, 2009.

For the Successor period from October 16, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
 
Results of Operations.
 
Revenues.  We had oil revenues of $10,213 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Those revenues were generated from our interest in the Lozano lease in Frio County, Texas. We had expected to generate greater revenues from the Lozano lease, however, multiple wells required maintenance resulting in significant production downtime and decreased lease revenues for the period ended December 31, 2010.
 
To implement our business plan during the next twelve months, we need to generate increased revenues from the Lozano lease and other interests. Our failure to do so will hinder our ability to increase the size of our operations and to generate additional revenues. If we are not able to generate additional revenues to cover our operating costs, we may not be able to expand our operations.
 
Operating Expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, our total operating costs and expenses were $68,818, which is primarily comprised of lease operating costs of $4,020, depletion expense of $3,910, accretion expense of $207 related to its asset retirement obligation liability, general and administrative expenses of $34,052 and professional fees of $26,629.  Our lease operating costs relate to operating costs associated with the Lozano lease.  General and administrative expenses relate to wages, corporate start-up costs and administrative expenses associated with our leases.  Our professional fees are related to our legal and accounting expenditures.
 
We expect that our future monthly operating expenses for fiscal year 2011 will be similar to our current expense levels, plus additional direct costs relating to newly acquired interests.  We will continue to incur significant general and administrative expenses, but expect to generate increased revenues after further developing our business.
 
Other Expense.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, we accrued interest expense in the amount of $9,795 related to a $250,000 note payable.
 
Net Loss.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, our net loss was $68,400.  We hope to generate additional revenues from our projects to cover out operating costs, which will reduce our net loss in the future.  We cannot guaranty that we will be able to generate additional revenues or, if that we do generate additional revenues, that such increased revenues will reduce our net loss in future periods.

 
22

 
Liquidity and Capital Resources.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, we issued 15,750,000 shares of common stock to our directors in exchange for services valued at $10,500, or $0.001 per share.  On December 28, 2010, we repurchased and cancelled 750,000 shares of common stock from a former director for $40,000.  On December 31, 2010, we cancelled an additional 2,550,000 shares from a director.
 
On August 10, 2010, we issued a promissory note for $250,000 bearing interest at 10% per annum and payable in one year.  These proceeds were used to pay for the asset purchase of the Lozano and Marcee leases located in Texas.
 
On December 31, 2010, we entered into a note and warrant purchase agreement with one investor, whereby the investor agreed to lend up to $2,250,000 to us in multiple installments in exchange for senior secured convertible promissory notes with a conversion price of $0.50 per share and five-year warrants to acquire shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share in the amount of each installment. The notes are due on December 31, 2013, or upon default, whichever is earlier, and bear interest at the annual rate of 10%.The first installment of $620,000 was delivered on December 31, 2010, and we issued 620,000 warrants to the investor in connection with the first installment. The agreement provides that the investor will lend additional installments to us in amounts as requested by us; provided however, that we provide the proposed use of proceeds for each requested amount.

As of December 31, 2010, we had current liabilities in the amount of  $501,248, of which $155,324 were represented by accounts payable and accrued expenses, $25,000 payable to a related party, $20,924 of accrued interest, $50,000 note to a related party and a $250,000 note payable.  As of December 31, 2010 we had long-term liabilities of $454,068 related to our convertible note net of discount, an embedded derivative liability of $165,932 and an asset retirement obligation of $15,465.

During 2011, we expect that the legal and accounting costs of becoming a public company will continue to impact our liquidity and we may need to obtain funds to pay those expenses. We also expect that we will incur significant expenses related to oil and gas exploration and development activities.  Other than the anticipated increases in legal and accounting costs due to the reporting requirements of becoming a reporting company and expenses related to oil and gas exploration and development, we are not aware of any other known trends, events or uncertainties, which may affect our future liquidity.
 
We are in the exploration stage, have little revenue and have incurred a net loss of $68,400 since October 16, 2010.  These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our management is implementing plans to sustain our cash flow from operating activities and/or acquire additional capital funding (see Note 1).   No assurances can be given that we will obtain sufficient working capital to sustain ongoing operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.  We have no off-balance sheet arrangements at December 31, 2010.

To the Board of Directors
United American Petroleum Corp.
Austin, Texas



We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of United American Petroleum Corp. (the “Company” or “Successor”) as of December 31, 2010 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the period from October 16, 2010 through December 31, 2010. We have also audited the accompanying balance sheet of Phoenix Oil & Gas, LLC (the “Predecessor”) as of December 31, 2009 and the related statements of operations, members' deficit and cash flows for the periods from October 19, 2009 through December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2010 through October 15, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 the Successor as of December 31, 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from October 16, 2010 through December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Further, in our opinion, the Predecessor financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods from October 19, 2009 through December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2010 through October 15, 2010 as well as the balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 and October 15, 2010.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and has a working capital deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

UNITED AMERICAN PETROLEUM CORP.

1.         Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation           
 
Nature of Operations
 
4 Phoenix Oil & Gas, LLC, a limited liability company, was formed under the laws of the state of Texas on October 19, 2009 (“Predecessor”).   On August 10, 2010, we formed United American Petroleum Corp. a Company incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada.  United American Petroleum Corp.’s principal business is the acquisition and management of leasehold interests in petroleum and natural gas rights, either directly or indirectly, and the exploitation and development of properties subject to these leases.  In these notes, the terms “United,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” “successor," or “our” mean United American Petroleum Corp.

On October 15, 2010, United American Petroleum Corp. purchased the Lozano and Marcee working interests from 4 Phoenix Oil and Gas, LLC, triggering predecessor accounting and financial statement presentation.     
 
Successor company references herein are referring to consolidated information pertaining to United American Petroleum Corp. and our wholly owned subsidiaries.

Predecessor company references herein relate to 4 Phoenix Oil & Gas, LLC a former working interest owner of the Lozano lease.
 
On December 31, 2010, the Company entered into a Plan of Merger with Forgehouse, Inc and their newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary United PC Acquisition Corp.  Following the closing and pursuant to the Plan of Merger, effective as of December 31, 2010, the Company merged with and into United PC Acquisition Corp. with the Company.  The Company, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forgehouse, Inc. was then merged with and into Forgehouse, Inc. and Forgehouse, Inc. changed its name to United American Petroleum Corp. For accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as a reverse merger and a recapitalization of United American Petroleum Corp.
 
Exploration Stage
 
The Company has not produced significant revenues from its principal business and is in the exploration stage company as defined by ASC 915, Development Stage Entities.
 
The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and producing of oil and gas properties.  As of December 31, 2010, the Company owns a 25% working interest in oil and gas properties in Frio County, Texas, and a 100% working interest in certain oil and gas leases in Gonzales County, Texas.
 
The Company’s success will depend in large part on its ability to obtain and develop oil and gas interests within the United States and other countries. There can be no assurance that oil and gas properties obtained by the Company will contain reserves or that properties with reserves will be profitable to extract. The Company will be subject to local and national laws and regulations which could impact our ability to execute our business plan.
 
As discussed in Note 3, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.   Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
 
Basis of Presentation – Predecessor

We acquired the Lozano working interest from 4 Phoenix Oil & Gas, LLC (our predecessor company) and at the time of the acquisition, we had minimal assets and no operations.  Accordingly, we have included the predecessor financial statements of Phoenix in the accompanying financial statements for purposes of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by S-X Rule 8-02.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("GAAP").  We made certain reclassifications to prior-period amounts to conform to the current presentation.
 
2.           Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods.  Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
  
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes oil and gas revenue from interests in producing wells using the “sales method.” Under this method of accounting, revenues are recognized based on volumes sold, which may differ from the volume to which we are entitled based on our working interest. An imbalance is recognized as a liability only when the estimated remaining reserves will not be sufficient to enable the under–produced owner(s) to recoup its entitled share through future production.  Under the sales method, no receivables are recorded where we have taken less than our share of production. Our net imbalance position at December 31, 2010, was immaterial.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
The Company collects its receivables on its working interests in oil and gas properties from the well operators. As such, the Company generally has relatively few customers. These receivables are unsecured and the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of the well operators’ financial condition whenever necessary. Bad debt is recognized on an account-by-account review after all means of collection have been exhausted and recovery is not probable. There has been no bad debt expense for the period ended December 31, 2010.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using principally the straight-line method. When items are retired or otherwise disposed of, income is charged or credited for the difference between net book value and proceeds realized.  Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and replacements and betterments are capitalized.
 
The range of estimated useful lives used to calculated depreciation for principal items of property and equipment are as follow:
 
 
Asset Category
 
Depreciation Period
 
 
Furniture and Fixtures
 
5 Years
 
 
Automobiles
 
5 Years
 
 
Equipment
 
10 Years
 

Oil and Gas Properties
 
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its investments in oil and gas properties. Under the full cost method, all costs associated with the exploration of properties are capitalized into appropriate cost centers within the full cost pool.  Internal costs that are capitalized are limited to those costs that can be directly identified with acquisition, exploration, and development activities undertaken and do not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead, or similar activities.  Cost centers are established on a country-by-country basis.
 
Capitalized costs within the cost centers are amortized on the unit-of-production basis using proved oil and gas reserves. The cost of investments in unproved properties and major development projects are excluded from capitalized costs to be amortized until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties. Until such a determination is made, the properties are assessed annually to ascertain whether impairment has occurred.  The costs of drilling exploratory dry holes are included in the amortization base immediately upon determination that the well is dry.
 
For each cost center, capitalized costs are subject to an annual ceiling test, in which the costs shall not exceed the cost center ceiling.  The cost center ceiling is equal to i) the present value of estimated future net revenues computed by applying current prices of oil and gas reserves (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions;  plus ii) the cost of properties not being amortized; plus iii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized; less iv) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the properties.  If unamortized costs capitalized within a cost center, less related deferred income taxes, exceed the cost center ceiling, the excess is charged to expense and separately disclosed during the period in which the excess occurs.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Asset Retirement Obligations
 
ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. Specifically, ASC 410 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. In addition, the asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the asset’s carrying value and subsequently allocated to expense over the asset’s useful life.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Unless otherwise indicated, the fair value of all reported assets and liabilities which represent financial instruments approximate the carrying values of such instruments due to their short-term maturity.
 
Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”).  ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  
 
Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.  The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows.  Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets would be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset.  ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
 
Share-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Stock Compensation (“ASC 718-10”).  This 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.
 
As of December 31, 2010, there were no outstanding employee stock options.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”).  ASC 740-10 requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are expected to be realized.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2008, the SEC issued Release No. 33-8995,Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting (ASC 2010-3), which amended the oil and gas disclosures for oil and gas producers contained in Regulations S-K and S-X, and added a section to Regulation S-K (Subpart 1200) to codify the revised disclosure requirements in Securities Act Industry Guide 2, which was eliminated. The goal of Release No. 33-8995 is to provide investors with a more meaningful and comprehensive understanding of oil and gas reserves. Energy companies affected by Release No. 33-8995 are now required to price proved oil and gas reserves using the unweighted arithmetic average of the price on the first day of each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based on future conditions. SEC Release No. 33-8995 is effective beginning for financial statements for fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2009. The Company adopted SEC Release No. 33-8995 effective December 31, 2009. The impact on the Company's operating results, financial position and cash flows has been recorded in the financial statements and additional disclosures were added to the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for the Company's supplemental oil and gas disclosure.
 
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-03 Oil and Gas Estimation and Disclosures (ASU 2010-03). This update aligns the current oil and natural gas reserve estimation and disclosure requirements of the Extractive Industries Oil and Gas topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC Topic 932) with the changes required by the SEC final rule ASC 2010-3. As discussed above, ASU 2010-03 expands the disclosures required for equity method investments, revises the definition of oil- and natural gas-producing activities to include nontraditional resources in reserves unless not intended to be upgraded into synthetic oil or natural gas, amends the definition of proved oil and natural gas reserves to require 12-month average pricing in estimating reserves, amends and adds definitions in the Master Glossary that is used in estimating proved oil and natural gas quantities and provides guidance on geographic area with respect to disclosure of information about significant reserves. ASU 2010-03 must be applied prospectively as a change in accounting principle that is inseparable from a change in accounting estimate and is effective for entities with annual reporting periods ending on or after a change in accounting estimate and is effective for entities with annual reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2009. The Company adopted ASU 2010-03 effective December 31, 2009.
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-17, Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition. The amendments in this update are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year, the entity should apply the amendments retrospectively from the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-17 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
There were various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
3.           Going Concern
 
The Company is in the exploration stage, has little revenue, has incurred a net loss of $95,650 since inception and has a working capital deficit as of December 31, 2010.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company's management is implementing plans to sustain the Company’s cash flow from operating activities and/or acquire additional capital funding (see Note 1). The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

4.           Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company measures fair value in accordance with a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
 
 
Level 1
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
 
Level 2
Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
 
Level 3
Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
 
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
The table below sets forth a summary of the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2010:
 
     
Total
   
Level 1
   
Level 2

The Company’s detachable warrant and conversion option liabilities are valued using pricing models and the Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments.  Where possible, the Company verifies the values produced by its pricing models to market prices.  Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility and correlations of such inputs.  These financial liabilities do not trade in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs cannot generally be verified and do involve significant management judgment.  Such instruments are typically classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  See Note 9 and Note 10 for Black Scholes Option Pricing Model inputs.
 
These derivative liabilities were created on December 31, 2010 in connection with the issuance of convertible debt and related warrants.  There was no level 3 liability prior to this date.  There was no impact to earnings for the period ended December 31, 2010.
 
5.           Oil and Gas Properties
 
Predecessor

On October 19, 2009, the Company’s founders contributed proved oil and gas properties valued at $68,134.  These properties were received by our Companies founders as consideration for their services in brokering the sale of the 75% interest to Alamo Energy, Inc. on behalf of an unrelated third party.  As a result of the consideration, we own a twenty-five percent (25%) working interest in the Lozano lease, which is a currently producing asset with three wells.  The property was valued based upon the Company’s future net revenues in the wells discounted at a present value of 10%.  The Lozano lease covers approximately 110 gross acres and is located in Frio County, Texas.   The Company also owns a one hundred percent interest (100%) working interest in the Marcee lease located in Gonzales County Texas.  The Marcee lease contains one well and was being developed for production as of October 15, 2010.  In conjunction with the contribution, we recorded an asset retirement obligation of $14,705.  See Note 11.

5.   Oil and Gas Properties
 
Successor

On October 15, 2010, the Company paid $250,000 to acquire oil, gas and mineral leases on the Lozano and Marcee properties. As a result of the asset purchase, we own a twenty-five percent (25%) working interest in the Lozano lease, which is a currently producing asset with three wells.  The Lozano lease covers approximately 110 gross acres and is located in Frio County, Texas.   The Company has a one hundred percent interest (100%) working interest in the Marcee lease located in Gonzales County Texas.  The Marcee lease contains one well and is being developed for production.
 
As part of the reverse merger, the Company acquired an oil and gas lease in Anchorage, Alaska, with a fair value of $22,810.  Production on the properties has not commenced and there can be no assurance that any hydrocarbons will be economically recoverable; however, pre-production activities, such as a multi-phase exploration program of trenching, sampling, geophysical surveys and test drilling have commenced.
 
6.            Related Party Payable

As part of the reverse merger, the Company assumed a non-interest bearing due on demand $25,000 payable to a related party.  As of December 31, 2010, the $25,000 related party payable was still outstanding.

7.            Note Payable
 
On August 10, 2010, the Company issued a promissory note to an individual in the amount of $250,000.  The note was subject to an annual interest of 10%; and was to mature on August 10, 2011. However, the note was fully paid in January 2011.
 
As part of the reverse merger, the Company assumed two notes payable owed to an individual who is a shareholder of the Company.  The notes payable are unsecured and each has a face value of $25,000 with a fixed interest rate of 10.00% per annum.  The notes payable are due on demand and there is a total of $11,130 of accrued and unpaid interest owed as of December 31, 2010.
 
8.            Convertible Note Payable

In connection with the Merger Transaction, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with one investor pursuant to which the investor agreed to lend up to $2,250,000 to us in multiple installments in exchange for a senior secured convertible promissory note with a conversion price of $0.50 per share and five-year warrants to acquire shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share in the amount of each installment. The first installment of $620,000 was delivered on the Closing Date and we issued 620,000 Warrants to the in connection with the First Installment.

The net operating loss carryforward will begin to expire in 2030.
 
Section 382 of the Internal Code allows post-change corporations to use pre-change net operating losses, but limit the amount of losses that may be used annually to a percentage of the entity value of the corporation at the date of the ownership change.  The applicable percentage is the federal long-term tax-exempt rate for the month during which the change in ownership occurs.

14.    Supplemental Oil and Gas Reserve Information  
 
Company Reserve Estimates.
 
Our proved reserve information as of December 31, 2010 was estimated by Nova Resource, Inc. (“Nova”), independent petroleum engineers.  In accordance with SEC guidelines, Nova’s estimates of future net revenues from our properties, and the PV-10 and standardized measure thereof, were determined to be economically producible under existing economic conditions, which requires the use of the 12-month average price for each product, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for the period January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010, except where such guidelines permit alternate treatment, including the use of fixed and determinable contractual price escalations.
  
The technical person at Nova is responsible for preparing the reserves estimates presented herein and meets the requirements regarding qualifications, independence, objectivity, and confidentiality set forth in the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers. Michael Carey, our officer and director, acted as the liaison with the technical person at Nova. 
 
Reserve Technologies. Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations, prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.  If deterministic methods are used, reasonable certainty means a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered.  If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate.  To achieve reasonable certainty, Nova employed technologies that have been demonstrated to yield results with consistency and repeatability. The technologies and economic data used in the estimation of our proved reserves include, but are not limited to, well logs, geologic maps and available down well and production data, seismic data, well test data.
 
Oil and Gas Reserve Information. The following reserve quantities and future net cash flow information for our proved reserves located in the State of Texas in the United States have been estimated as of December 31, 2010.  The determination of oil and gas reserves is based on estimates, which are highly complex and interpretive. The estimates are subject to continuing change as additional information becomes available.

During the period from inception (August 10, 2010) through December 31, 2010, the Company acquired an estimated 1,806 bbls of proved undeveloped net oil reserves in place in connection with the Company’s purchase of the Lozano lease in Frio County, Texas of approximately 82.5 net acres consisting of three (3) wells. None of the proved undeveloped oil reserves were converted during the period ended December 31, 2010 as the Company is reviewing the production performance and assessment of the remaining recoverable resources. In addition, there were no proved undeveloped reserves over five (5) years.
 
 
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is provided using the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average and were held constant throughout the life of the properties. The oil price used as of December 31, 2010 was $79 per bbl of oil. Future production costs are based on year-end costs and include severance and ad valorem taxes. Each property that is leased by us is also charged with field-level overhead in the reserve calculation. The present value of future cash inflows is based on a 10% discount rate.

The fair value of the detachable warrant liability was determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: dividend yield: -0-%, volatility 95.4%, risk free rate: 2.06% and an expected term of 5 years.

On January 28, 2011, United American Petroleum Corp. entered and closed a purchase and sale agreement with Patriot Minerals, LLC, a Texas limited liability company.  The Purchase Agreement provides, among other things, that the Registrant shall purchase multiple undivided working interests to certain existing wells and to certain leases located in Texas in exchange for the Registrant entering into an independent contractor agreement with Jamie Teahan to provide services with respect to the Registrant’s ownership of those working interests.

Item 9.  Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
 
There have been no changes in or disagreements with our accountants since our formation required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, except for the following:

On August 4, 2010, we dismissed Kelly & Company (“Kelly”) as our principal accountant effective on such date. The reports of Kelly on our financial statements for fiscal years 2009 and 2008 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, with the exception of a qualification with respect to uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We engaged Malone Bailey LLP (“Malone”) as our new principal accountant effective as of August 4, 2010. The decision to change accountants was recommended and approved by our Board of Directors.

During fiscal years 2009 and 2008, and the subsequent interim period through August 4, 2010, the date of dismissal, there were no disagreements with Kelly on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Kelly, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report, nor were there any reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.

We engaged Malone as our new independent accountant as of August 4, 2010.  During fiscal years 2009 and 2008, and the subsequent interim period through August 4, 2010, we nor anyone on our behalf engaged Malone regarding either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, or any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” or a “reportable event,” both as such terms are defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
 
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

We maintain controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures performed as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Annual report on internal control over financial reporting.

Mr. Michael Carey, our Principal Executive Officer and Mr. Christian Negri, our Principal Financial Officer, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

·  
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
·  
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and
·  
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
 
 
43

 
Because of its inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010.   In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.

Based on our assessment, our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer believe that, as of December 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective based on those criteria, due to the following:
 
·
  lack of proper segregation of functions, duties and responsibilities with respect to our cash and control over the disbursements related thereto due to our very limited staff, including our accounting personnel.
 
Accordingly, management believes, based on its knowledge, that (1) this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material face necessary to make the statements made not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report, and (2) the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the years and periods then ended.

This report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this report.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
