PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS American Eagle Energy Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada as Yellow Hill Energy Inc. on March 14, 2007 to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties. We are an exploration stage company with no revenues and a limited operating history. The principal executive offices are located at 10B Time Centre, 53-55 Hollywood Road, Central, Hong Kong. The telephone number is 852 2521 5455. Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion for American Eagle Energy which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The company carried out exploration on property known as the Bond Uranium Prospect, comprised of 22 federal lode mining claims located in Ferry County, Washington. The completed fieldworks of Phase I of the exploration program did not appear to indicate an economically viable mineral deposit and as a result, the Company decided not to renew the mining claims. Our plan now is to seek, investigate, and consummate a merger or other business combination, purchase of assets or other strategic transaction (i.e. a merger) with a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other operating business entity (a Merger Target") desiring the perceived advantages of becoming a publicly reporting and publicly held corporation. We have no operating business, and conduct minimal operations necessary to meet regulatory requirements. Our ability to commence any operations is contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources. A common reason for a Merger Target to enter into a merger with us is the desire to establish a public trading market for its shares. Such a company would hope to avoid the perceived adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself, such as the time delays and significant expenses incurred to comply with the various Federal and state securities law that regulate initial public offerings. As a result of our limited resources, we expect to have sufficient proceeds to effect only a single business combination. Accordingly, the prospects for our success will be entirely dependent upon the future performance of a single business. Unlike certain entities that have the resources to consummate several business combinations or entities operating in multiple industries or multiple segments of a single industry, we will not have the resources to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. A target business may be dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services, in which case there will be an even higher risk that the target business will not prove to be commercially viable. We are not currently engaged in any business activities that provide cash flow. The costs of investigating and analyzing business combinations for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be paid with money in our treasury. BANKRUPTCY OR SIMILAR PROCEEDINGS There has been no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding. 3
REORGANIZATIONS, PURCHASE OR SALE OF ASSETS There have been no material reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATION We are required to comply with general business and tax laws for businesses operating in the state of Nevada. NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES Our only employee is our officer, Jay Jhaveri. Mr. Jhaveri currently devotes approximately 5 hours per week to company matters. He will devote as much time as the board of directors determines is necessary to manage the affairs of the company. There are no formal employment agreements between the company and our current employee. REPORTS TO SECURITIES HOLDERS We provide an annual report that includes audited financial information to our shareholders. We make our financial information equally available to any interested parties or investors through compliance with the disclosure rules for a small business issuer under the Securities Exchange Act. We are subject to disclosure filing requirements, including filing Form 10-K annually and Form 10-Q quarterly. In addition, we will file Form 8-K and other proxy and information statements from time to time as required. We do not intend to voluntarily file the above reports in the event that our obligation to file such reports is suspended under the Exchange Act. The public may read and copy any materials that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, ("SEC"), at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING KNOWN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN ADDITION TO OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS REPORT IN EVALUATING OUR COMPANY. OUR BUSINESS, OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION COULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED DUE TO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING KNOWN RISKS. THE RISKS DESCRIBED BELOW ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES FACING OUR COMPANY. ADDITIONAL RISKS NOT PRESENTLY KNOWN TO US MAY ALSO IMPAIR OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS. WE HAVE NO RECENT OPERATING HISTORY OR BASIS FOR EVALUATING PROSPECTS. We have no operating business or plans to develop one. We are currently seeking to enter into a merger or business combination with another operating company. To date, our efforts have been limited to meeting our regulatory filing requirements and searching for a merger target. 4
WE HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES AND NO REVENUES FROM OPERATIONS, AND WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING IN ORDER TO EXECUTE ANY BUSINESS PLAN. We have limited resources, no revenues from operations to date and our cash on hand may not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements during the next twelve months. In addition, we will not achieve any revenues (other than insignificant investment income) until, at the earliest, the consummation of a merger and we cannot ascertain our capital requirements until such time. There can be no assurance that determinations ultimately made by us will permit us to achieve our business objectives. WE WILL BE ABLE TO EFFECT AT MOST ONE MERGER, AND THUS MAY NOT HAVE A DIVERSIFIED BUSINESS. Our resources are limited and we will most likely have the ability to effect only a single merger. This probable lack of diversification will subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a material adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to the consummation of a merger. We will become dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services. WE DEPEND SUBSTANTIALLY UPON OUR PRESIDENT, WHOSE EXPERIENCE IS LIMITED, TO MAKE ALL MANAGEMENT DECISIONS. Our ability to effect a merger will be dependent upon the efforts of our president, Jay Jhaveri. Notwithstanding the importance of Mr. Jhaveri, we have not entered into any employment agreement or other understanding with Mr. Jhaveri concerning compensation or obtained any "key man" life insurance on any of his life. The loss of the services of Mr. Jhaveri will have a material adverse effect on achieving our business objectives and success. We will rely upon the expertise of Mr. Jhaveri and do not anticipate that we will hire additional personnel. THERE IS COMPETITION FOR THOSE PRIVATE COMPANIES SUITABLE FOR A MERGER TRANSACTION OF THE TYPE CONTEMPLATED BY MANAGEMENT. We are in a highly competitive market for a small number of business opportunities which could reduce the likelihood of consummating a successful business combination. We are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with, joint ventures with and acquisitions of small private and public entities. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including small public companies and venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies that may be desirable target candidates for us. Nearly all these entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do; consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. These competitive factors may reduce the likelihood of our identifying and consummating a successful business combination. FUTURE SUCCESS IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE ABILITY OF MANAGEMENT TO LOCATE AND ATTRACT A SUITABLE ACQUISITION. 5
The nature of our operations is highly speculative. The success of our plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of the identified business opportunity. While management intends to seek business combination(s) with entities having established operating histories, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in locating candidates meeting that criterion. In the event we complete a business combination, the success of our operations may be dependent upon management of the successor firm or venture partner firm and numerous other factors beyond our control. WE HAVE NO AGREEMENT FOR A BUSINESS COMBINATION OR OTHER TRANSACTION. We have no definitive agreement with respect to engaging in a merger with, joint venture with or acquisition of, a private or public entity. No assurances can be given that we will successfully identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities or that we will conclude a business combination. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to negotiate a business combination on favorable terms, and there is consequently a risk that funds allocated to the purchase of our shares will not be invested in a company with active business operations. MANAGEMENT WILL CHANGE UPON THE CONSUMMATION OF A MERGER. After the closing of a merger or business combination, it is likely our current management will not retain any control or managerial responsibilities. Upon such event, Mr. Jhaveri intends to resign from his positions with us. CURRENT STOCKHOLDERS WILL BE IMMEDIATELY AND SUBSTANTIALLY DILUTED UPON A MERGER OR BUSINESS COMBINATION. Our Articles of Incorporation authorized the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock. There are currently 30,000,000 authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock available for issuance. To the extent that additional shares of Common Stock are authorized and issued in connection with a merger or business combination, our stockholders could experience significant dilution of their respective ownership interests. Furthermore, the issuance of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock may adversely affect prevailing market prices, if any, for the Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities. OUR COMMON STOCK IS A "PENNY STOCK" WHICH MAY RESTRICT THE ABILITY OF STOCKHOLDERS TO SELL OUR COMMON STOCK IN THE SECONDARY MARKET. The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be an equity security that has a market price, as defined, of less than $5.00 per share, or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions, including an exception of an equity security that is quoted on a national securities exchange. Our Common Stock is not now quoted on a national exchange but is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board ("OTCBB"). Thus, they are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell these securities. For example, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transactions prior to the purchase. Additionally, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny 6
stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered underwriter, and current quotations for the securities, 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. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The "penny stock" rules, may restrict the ability of our stockholders to sell our Common Stock and warrants in the secondary market. LIQUIDITY IS LIMITED, AND WE MAY BE UNABLE TO OBTAIN LISTING OF OUR COMMON STOCK ON A MORE LIQUID MARKET. Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board ("OTCBB"), which provides significantly less liquidity than a securities exchange (such as the American or New York Stock Exchange) or an automated quotation system (such as the Nasdaq Global Market or Capital Market). There is uncertainty that we will ever be accepted for a listing on an automated quotation system or national securities exchange. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES We currently utilize office space at the office of Axonus Asia Limited, 10B TimeCentre, 53-55 Hollywood Road, Central, Hong Kong. Jay Jhaveri, the sole officer and director of the Company, is a principal and sole shareholder of Axonus Asia Limited. Axonus Asia Limited is paid a total of $1,500 per month for providing facilities that include office space, telephone services, facsimile services, computer and office equipment. We intend to use these facilities for the time being until we feel we have outgrown them. We currently have no investment policies as they pertain to real estate, real estate interests or real estate mortgages. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We are not currently involved in any legal proceedings and we are not aware of any pending or potential legal actions. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS There were no matters submitted to a vote of the security holders during the year ended April 30, 2009. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Our shares are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol "AMRE.OB". The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter securities. The OTCBB is not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Although the OTCBB does not have any listing requirements per se, 7
to be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC or applicable regulatory authority. Securities quoted on the OTCBB that become delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30 or 60 day grace period if they do not make their required filing during that time. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to have the funds required to remain in compliance with our reporting obligations. There has been no active trading of our securities, and, therefore, no high and low bid pricing. As of the date of this report American Eagle Energy had 23 shareholders of record. We have paid no cash dividends and have no outstanding options. PENNY STOCK RULES The Securities and Exchange Commission has also adopted rules 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 such securities is provided by the exchange or system). A purchaser is purchasing penny stock which limits the ability to sell the stock. Our shares constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document, which: - contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stock in both public offerings and secondary trading; - contains 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 a violation of such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended; - contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" price for the penny stock and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; - contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; - defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and 8
- contains 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; The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer: - 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 suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities. REPORTS We are subject to certain filing requirements and will furnish annual financial reports to our stockholders, certified by our independent accountant, and will furnish un-audited quarterly financial reports in our quarterly reports filed electronically with the SEC. All reports and information filed by us can be found at the SEC website, www.sec.gov. TRANSFER AGENT The company has retained Holladay Stock Transfer, Inc. of 2939 North 67th Place, Suite C, Scottsdale, Arizona as transfer agent. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS We are an exploration stage company and have generated no revenues. Our net loss for the years ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 were $21,270 and $16,112, respectively. Our net loss from inception (March 14, 2007) through April 30, 2009 was $53,272. These expenses consisted of general operating 9
expenses incurred in connection with the day to day operation of our business and the preparation and filing of our periodic reports. In their report on our audited financial statements as at April 30, 2009, our auditors expressed their doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern unless we are able to raise additional capital and ultimately to generate profitable operations. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our cash in the bank at April 30, 2009 was $7,157. In order to satisfy our cash requirements we needed to complete our offering of 15,000,000 shares registered pursuant to our SB-2 Registration Statement which became effective on June 25, 2007 to raise $45,000. The offering was completed on July 31, 2007 for total proceeds of $45,000. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS We have no off-balance sheet arrangements. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES YEAR END - The Company's yearend is April 30. USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. INCOME TAXES - The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company has net operating loss carryover to be used for reducing future year's taxable income. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the full potential tax benefit of the operating loss carryovers due to the uncertainty regarding realization. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE - The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share ("SFAS 128") and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 ("SAB 98"). Under the provisions of SFAS 128 and SAB 98, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to 10
common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the period from September 26, 2006 (Date of Inception) through April 30, 2009, the Company had no potentially dilutive securities. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options. Accordingly no stock-based compensation has been recorded to date. LONG-LIVED ASSETS - In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value. MINERAL PROPERTY COSTS - The Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception on March 14, 2007 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations, being the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in EITF 04-02, "Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets". The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets" at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments ("SFAS No. 155"), which amends Statement of Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS No. 133") and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities ("SFAS No. 140"). SFAS Mp; 155 permits fair value measurements for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or hybrid financial instruments containing embedded derivatives. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on the company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In March 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, Accounting fro Servicing of financial Assets ("SFAS No. 156"), which amends FASB Statement No. 140 ("SFAS No. 140"). SFAS 156 may be adopted as early as January 1, 2006, for calendar year-end entities, provided that no interim financial 11
statements have been issued. Those not choosing to early adopt are required to apply the provisions as of the beginning of the first fiscal year after September 15, 2006. The intention of the new statement is to simplify accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities, such as those common with mortgage securitization activities, as well as to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like accounting. Specifically, SFAS No 156 permits a service using derivative financial instruments to report both the derivative financial instrument and related servicing asset or liability by using a consistent measurement attribute, or fair value. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. BUSINESS OPERATIONS OVERVIEW On September 9, 2008 Craig Lindsay resigned as our president, chief financial officer and director and Sean Mitchell resigned as our secretary, treasurer and director. As a result on September 9, 2008 we appointed Jay Jhaveri as president, secretary, treasurer, director and chief financial officer of our company. Our board of directors consists of Jay Jhaveri. On October 5, 2009, we filed, with the Nevada Secretary of State, documents to effect a change of name from "Yellow Hill Energy Inc." to "American Eagle Energy Inc.", by way of a merger with our wholly owned subsidiary American Eagle Energy Inc., which was formed solely for the change of name. The name change became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening for trading on October 21, 2009 under the new stock symbol "AMRE". Our new CUSIP number is 02554E105. On October 14, 2009, our board of directors approved a forward split of our company's stock on a 1 old for 2 new basis, such that our authorized capital shall increase from 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 150,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 and, correspondingly, our issued and outstanding shares of common stock shall increase from 30,000,000 shares of common stock to 60,000,000 shares of common stock. We have requested an effective date of October 26, 2009 with respect to the forward stock split. Our plan is to seek, investigate, and consummate a merger or other business combination, purchase of assets or other strategic transaction (i.e. a merger) with a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other operating business entity (a Merger Target") desiring the perceived advantages of becoming a publicly reporting and publicly held corporation. We have no operating business, and conduct minimal operations necessary to meet regulatory requirements. Our ability to commence any operations is contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources. A common reason for a Merger Target to enter into a merger with us is the desire to establish a public trading market for its shares. Such a company would hope to avoid the perceived adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself, such as the time delays and significant expenses incurred to comply with the various Federal and state securities law that regulate initial public offerings. 12
As a result of our limited resources, we expect to have sufficient proceeds to effect only a single business combination. Accordingly, the prospects for our success will be entirely dependent upon the future performance of a single business. Unlike certain entities that have the resources to consummate several business combinations or entities operating in multiple industries or multiple segments of a single industry, we will not have the resources to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. A target business may be dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services, in which case there will be an even higher risk that the target business will not prove to be commercially viable. We are not currently engaged in any business activities that provide cash flow. The costs of investigating and analyzing business combinations for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be paid with money in our treasury. During the next twelve months we anticipate incurring costs related to: (i) filing of Exchange Act reports, and (ii) costs relating to identifying and consummating a transaction with a Merger Target. We believe we will be able to meet these costs through use of funds in our treasury and additional amounts, as necessary, to be loaned to or invested in us by our stockholders, management or other investors. We may consider a business which has recently commenced operations, is a developing company in need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, is seeking to develop a new product or service, or is an established business which may be experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional capital. In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital, but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares, while avoiding, among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and loss of voting control which may occur in a public offering. Our officer and director is only required to devote a small portion of his time (less than 10%) to our affairs on a part-time or as-needed basis. No regular compensation has, in the past, nor is anticipated in the future, to be paid to any officer or director in their capacities as such. We do not anticipate hiring any full-time employees as long as we are seeking and evaluating business opportunities. We expect our present management to play no managerial role in our company following a business combination. Although we intend to scrutinize closely the management of a prospective target business in connection with our evaluation of a business combination with a target business, our assessment of management may be incorrect. We cannot assure you that we will find a suitable business with which to combine. Our principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with an operating business. We will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business. The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of our officer and director. 13
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEALE AND BEERS, CPAs PCAOB & CPAB REGISTERED AUDITORS www.sealebeers.com REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors American Eagle Energy Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company) We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of American Eagle Energy Inc. (formerly Yellow Hill Energy Inc.) (An Exploration Stage Company) as of April 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2009, 2008 and since inception on March 14, 2007 through April 30, 2009. 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 conduct our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Eagle Energy Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of April 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2009, 2008 and since inception on March 14, 2007 through April 30, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has not established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ Seale and Beers, CPAs --------------------------------- Seale and Beers, CPAs Las Vegas, Nevada October 14, 2009 50 S.

AMERICAN EAGLE ENERGY INC. (formerly Yellow Hill Energy Inc.) (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to the Financial Statements 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, HISTORY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES THE COMPANY'S HISTORY - American Eagle Energy Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the "Company" or "American Eagle Energy") was incorporated in the State of Nevada as Yellow Hill Energy Inc. on March 14, 2007 to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties of merit. On October 5, 2009, we filed, with the Nevada Secretary of State, documents to effect a change of name from "Yellow Hill Energy Inc." to "American Eagle Energy Inc.", by way of a merger with our wholly owned subsidiary American Eagle Energy Inc., which was formed solely for the change of name. The Company completed its prospectus offering of 30,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.0015 per share for gross proceeds of $45,000 on July 31, 2007. The Company acquired mineral claims during the initial period ending April 30, 2007. During the period ended July 31, 2008, the Company did not renew their mineral claims. On September 9, 2008 Craig Lindsay resigned as our president, chief financial officer and director and Sean Mitchell resigned as our secretary, treasurer and director. As a result on September 9, 2008 we appointed Jay Jhaveri as president, secretary, treasurer, director and chief financial officer of our company. Our board of directors now consists of Jay Jhaveri. On September 9, 2008 the Company moved our operations to 10B Time Centre, 53-55 Hollywood Road, Central, Hong Kong and Jay Jhaveri performs all our corporate and administrative operations. On October 14, 2009, our board of directors approved a forward split of our company's stock on a 1 old for 2 new basis, such that our authorized capital shall increase from 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 150,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 and, correspondingly, our issued and outstanding shares of common stock shall increase from 30,000,000 shares of common stock to 60,000,000 shares of common stock. We have requested an effective date of October 26, 2009 with respect to the forward stock split. THE COMPANY TODAY - The Company is currently a developments stage company reporting under the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("FASB") No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises." Our purpose has been to serve as a vehicle to acquire an operating business and we are currently considered a "shell" company inasmuch as we are not generating revenues, do not own an operating business, and have no specific plan other than to engage in a merger or acquisition transaction with a yet-to-be identified operating company or business. We have no employees and no material assets. MANAGEMENT OF COMPANY - The Company filed its articles of incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State on March 14, 2007, indicating Sandra L. Miller on behalf of Resident Agents of Nevada, Inc. as the sole incorporator. The initial list of officers filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on April 13, 2007, indicates Craig T. Lindsay as the President and Treasurer; and Sean Mitchell as Secretary and Director. On September 9, 2008 Craig Lindsay resigned as our president, chief financial officer and director and Sean Mitchell resigned as our secretary, treasurer and director. As a result on September 9, 2008 we appointed Jay Jhaveri as president, secretary, treasurer, director and chief financial officer of our company. Jay Jhaveri performs all our corporate and administrative operations. Our board of directors now consists of Jay Jhaveri. 19
AMERICAN EAGLE ENERGY INC. (formerly Yellow Hill Energy Inc.) (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to the Financial Statements 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, HISTORY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) GOING CONCERN - The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. YEAR END - The Company's year end is April 30. USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. INCOME TAXES - The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. 20
AMERICAN EAGLE ENERGY INC. (formerly Yellow Hill Energy Inc.) (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to the Financial Statements 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, HISTORY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) The Company has net operating loss carryover to be used for reducing future year's taxable income. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the full potential tax benefit of the operating loss carryovers due to the uncertainty regarding realization. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE - The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share ("SFAS 128") and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 ("SAB 98"). Under the provisions of SFAS 128 and SAB 98, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the period from September 26, 2006 (Date of Inception) through April 30, 2009, the Company had no potentially dilutive securities. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options. Accordingly no stock-based compensation has been recorded to date. LONG-LIVED ASSETS - In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value. MINERAL PROPERTY COSTS - The Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception on March 14, 2007 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations, being the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in EITF 04-02, "Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets". The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets" at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations. 21
AMERICAN EAGLE ENERGY INC. (formerly Yellow Hill Energy Inc.) (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to the Financial Statements 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, HISTORY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments ("SFAS No. 155"), which amends Statement of Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS No. 133") and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities ("SFAS No. 140"). SFAS Mp; 155 permits fair value measurements for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or hybrid financial instruments containing embedded derivatives. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on the company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In March 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, Accounting fro Servicing of financial Assets ("SFAS No. 156"), which amends FASB Statement No. 140 ("SFAS No. 140"). SFAS 156 may be adopted as early as January 1, 2006, for calendar year-end entities, provided that no interim financial statements have been issued. Those not choosing to early adopt are required to apply the provisions as of the beginning of the first fiscal year after September 15, 2006. The intention of the new statement is to simplify accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities, such as those common with mortgage securitization activities, as well as to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like accounting. Specifically, SFAS No 156 permits a service using derivative financial instruments to report both the derivative financial instrument and related servicing asset or liability by using a consistent measurement attribute, or fair value. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 2. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT As of April 30, 2009, the Company does not own any property and/or equipment. 3. MINERAL PROPERTY During the year ended April 30, 2008, the Company did not renew their mineral claims. 4. STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY The Company was incorporated originally with 75,000,000 shares authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. On October 14, 2009, our board of directors approved a forward split of our company's stock on a 1 old for 2 new basis, such that our authorized capital shall increase from 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 150,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 and, correspondingly, our issued and outstanding shares of common stock shall increase from 30,000,000 shares of common stock to 60,000,000 shares of common stock. We have requested an effective date of October 26, 2009 with respect to the forward stock split. 22
AMERICAN EAGLE ENERGY INC. (formerly Yellow Hill Energy Inc.) (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to the Financial Statements 4. STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY (continued) Unless otherwise noted, all references in the financial statements to numbers of shares of common stock and weighted average number of common shares outstanding have been restated to reflect the October 19, 2009 forward stock split. Effective April 28, 2007, a total of 30,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock were issued to the sole director of the Company pursuant to a stock subscription agreement at $0.0005 per share for total proceeds of $15,000. Effective July 31, 2007, a total of 30,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock were issued pursuant to stock subscription agreements at $0.0015 per share for total proceeds of $45,000. 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS We currently utilize office space at the office of Axonus Asia Limited, 10B TimeCentre, 53-55 Hollywood Road, Central, Hong Kong. Jay Jhaveri, the sole office rand director of the Company, is a principal and sole shareholder of Axonus Asia Limited. Axonus Asia Limited is paid a total of $1,500 per month for providing facilities that include office space, telephone services, facsimile services, computer and office equipment. For the period ending April 30, 2009, Axonus Asia Limited has been paid a total of $7,500 for office rent and corporate services. 6. STOCK OPTIONS As of April 30, 2009, the Company does not have any stock options outstanding, nor does it have any written or verbal agreements for the issuance or distribution of stock options at any point in the future. 7. ADVERTISING The Company will expense its advertising when incurred. There has been no expenditures on advertising since inception. 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On October 5, 2009, we filed, with the Nevada Secretary of State, documents to effect a change of name from "Yellow Hill Energy Inc." to "American Eagle Energy Inc.", by way of a merger with our wholly owned subsidiary American Eagle Energy Inc., which was formed solely for the change of name. The name change became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening for trading on October 21, 2009 under the new stock symbol "AMRE". Our new CUSIP number is 02554E105. On October 14, 2009, our board of directors approved a forward split of our company's stock on a 1 old for 2 new basis, such that our authorized capital shall increase from 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 150,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 and, correspondingly, our issued and outstanding shares of common stock shall increase from 30,000,000 shares of common stock to 60,000,000 shares of common stock. We have requested an effective date of October 26, 2009 with respect to the forward stock split. 23
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE None. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer (our president), we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officer, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms relating to our company, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared. MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, for the company. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) 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 its management and directors; and (3) 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. Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures. 24
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in there being a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Under the supervision and with the participation of our president, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of April 30, 2009, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our evaluation under this framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the evaluation date due to the factors stated below. Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of evaluation date and identified the following material weaknesses: INSUFFICIENT RESOURCES: We have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting. INADEQUATE SEGREGATION OF DUTIES: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures. LACK OF AUDIT COMMITTEE & OUTSIDE DIRECTORS ON THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS: We do not have a functioning audit committee or outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures. Management is committed to improving its internal controls and will (1) continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist the Company with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (3) may consider appointing outside directors and audit committee members in the future. Management, including our president, has discussed the material weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of this material weakness, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected. This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report. 25
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter for our fiscal year ended April 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

He has worked and lived in eight countries across Asia, Europe and North America. Mr. Jhaveri has over 11 years of business experience as a successful entrepreneur and technology consultant in a variety of industries including media/entertainment, IT hardware, e-commerce, and financial services. During his career, Mr. Jhaveri has helped many companies establish their presence across Asia. CODE OF ETHICS We do not currently have a code of ethics, because we have only limited business operations and one officer and director, we believe a code of ethics would have limited utility. We intend to adopt such a code of ethics as our business operations expand and we have more directors, officers and employees. ITEM 11.

On April 27, 2006, a total of 15,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to Mr. Craig Lindsay and Mr. Sean Mitchell (7,500,000 each) in exchange for cash in the amount of $15,000 U.S., or $.001 per share. Mr. Lindsay and Mr. Mitchell were directors of the company at that time. The terms of these stock issuances were as fair to the company, in the opinion of the board of directors, as could have been made with an unaffiliated third party. In making this determination they relied upon the fact that the 15,000,000 shares were valued at par ($0.001) and purchased for $15,000 in cash. On September 9, 2008, in a private transaction, Mr. Lindsay and Mr. Mitchell transferred 2,500,000 shares each to Mr. Jay Jhaveri, the new director of the company. Mr. Jhaveri currently devotes approximately 5 hours per week to the affairs of the company. They have agreed to work with no remuneration until such time as the company receives sufficient revenues necessary to provide management salaries. At this time, we cannot accurately estimate when sufficient revenues will occur to implement this compensation, or what the amount of the compensation will be. There are no annuity, pension or retirement benefits proposed to be paid to officers, directors or employees in the event of retirement at normal retirement date pursuant to any presently existing plan provided or contributed to by the company or any of its subsidiaries, if any.
