PART I
 
ITEM 1.
BUSINESS.
 
Overview
 
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada as a for-profit company on August 7, 2007. We are an exploration stage company whose intended business purpose is coal, oil and natural gas exploration, development and production. At the time of our incorporation, we were incorporated under the name “Teen Glow Makeup, Inc.” and our original business plan was to create a line of affordable teen makeup for girls. On November 20, 2009, Johannes Petersen acquired the majority of the shares of our issued and outstanding common stock in accordance with two stock purchases agreements by and between Mr. Petersen and Ms. Pamela Hutchinson, and Ms. Andrea Mizushima, respectively. On March 31, 2010, we changed our intended business purpose to that of coal, oil and natural gas exploration, development and production.

Our current primary business focus is to acquire, explore and develop coal, oil and gas exploration properties in the United States of North America, with a particular focus on the Rocky Mountains region. On March 30, 2010, our Board of Directors approved the proposal to change the Company’s name and to effect a 340 for 1 forward stock split. The Certificate of Change for the forward stock split was filed and approved by the Nevada Secretary of State on April 28, 2010. Also on April 28, 2010, Articles of Amendment were filed and approved with the Nevada Secretary of State to change the name of the Corporation to American Power Corporation. The Articles of Amendment also changed the authorized amount of capital stock to Five Hundred Million (500,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001.

Business Description and Plan of Operation

Our plan of operation is to acquire and conduct exploration work on the properties and prospects we acquire in order to ascertain whether they possess economic quantities of coal and/or hydrocarbons in accordance with available funds. There can be no assurance that an economic coal and/or hydrocarbon reserve exists on any of the exploration prospects we acquire until appropriate exploration work is completed.

Coal, oil and gas exploration is typically conducted in phases. Each subsequent phase of exploration work is recommended by a geologist based on the results from the most recent phase of exploration. We have yet to acquire exploration properties, upon which we will commence the initial phase of exploration.  We have acquired an assignment of certain contractual rights in coal and minerals located in the Judith Basin County, Montana, collectively described as the “PACE Coal Project”, however these rights are speculative in nature and additional exploration work is required to determine their value. Once we have completed each phase of exploration, we will make a decision as to whether or not we proceed with each successive phase based upon the analysis of the results of that program. Even if we complete our proposed exploration programs on our properties, and we are successful in identifying the presence of coal and/or hydrocarbons, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling, engineering studies, environmental and mine feasibility studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable coal, oil and gas deposit or reserve.
 
Market Overview for Plan of Operation

Coal production in the United States in 2009 reached a level of 1,072.8 million short tons (530.4 million short tons between January and June of 2010) according to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), a decrease of 8.5% from the 2008 level. The decline in coal production in 2009 was the largest percent decline since 1958 (when production declined by 16.7%) and the largest tonnage decline since 1949 (when production declined by 176.1 million short tons).

Coal consumption in the United States in 2009 reached a level of 1,000.4 million short tons (512.9 million short tons between January and June of 2010), a decrease of 10.7% from the 2008 level, with all of the coal-consuming sectors having lower consumption for the year. Although all sectors had declines, the electric power sector (electric utilities and independent power producers), which consumes about 94% of all coal in the US, is the overriding force for determining total domestic coal consumption. In 2009, the recession’s downward pressure on electricity production resulted in a 10.0% decrease in coal consumption for the sector to end 2009 at 936.5 million short tons (477.0 million short tons between January and June of 2010). Coal consumption in the non-electric power sector (comprised of other industrial, coking coal, and the commercial and institutional sectors) declined for the fifth year in a row in 2009. Coal consumption at coke plants decreased by 30.6% to end 2009 at 15.3 million short tons (10.2 million short tons between January and June of 2010). The decline in US coke production in 2009 was a result of the economic downturn in the year when several steel plants idled production for extended periods of time in response to the world-wide drop in demand for their products.

Total coal stocks increased in 2009 by 16.4% to end the year at a record level of 238.8 million short tons as some consumers added to their stockpiles.

Although it was a down year for coal production and consumption in 2009, domestic coal prices continued to increase, rising for the sixth consecutive year. The primary reason that domestic coal prices continued to climb was that a number of coal contracts were signed in 2008 during the dramatic rise of spot coal prices that affected the contract prices. The majority of coal sold in the electric power sector is through long-term contracts (covering a time period of one year or longer), in conjunction with spot purchases to supplement the demand. As contracts expire and are renegotiated the prevailing spot price influences the contract price. According to preliminary data for 2009, coal prices at electric utilities (a subset of the electric power sector) increased for a ninth consecutive year, to $44.72 per short ton, an increase of 8.2% over the 2008 price. Coal prices at independent power producers for 2009 increased to $39.72 per short ton, an increase of 1.9%. The average delivered price of coal to the other industrial sector increased by 2.3% to an average price of $64.87 per short ton in 2009. In 2009 the delivered price of coal to US coke plants increased by 21.1% to reach an average price of $143.04 per short ton. The average delivered price of coal to the commercial and institutional sector increased in 2009 by 12.5% to $97.28 per short ton.

Western Region (includes Montana)

Although the Western Region is the largest coal-producing region in the US, in 2009 coal production declined by 7.7% to a total of 584.5 million short tons and ended a five year increasing production trend. The decrease of 49.1 million short tons resulted in a production level comparable to what was produced in 2005. Only two of the eight States in the Western Region (Alaska and North Dakota) had an increase in coal production for the year. Of all the coal-producing States in the Western Region, Alaska, with one mine, the Usibelli mine, has the smallest level of production. However, in 2009, it had the largest increase in production, 370 thousand short tons, or 25.0% and ended the year with a total of 1.8 million short tons.

In 2009, Montana, the second largest coal-producing State in the Western Region, produced a total of 39.5 million short tons, a decrease of 11.8% or 5.3 million short tons. Although there was an increase in production at Signal Peak Energy’s Bull Mountain mine of 0.6 million short tons, the decreases in coal production at Western Energy’s Rosebud mine of 2.7 million short tons and Decker Coal’s Decker mine of 2.4 million short tons in 2009 accounted for the majority of the decline.

Patents, Trademarks, Royalties, Etc.
 
The Company does not have any patents, trademarks, royalties, etc.

Government Approvals

The Company will be required to submit a drilling permit application to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality in order to proceed with drilling operations on its PACE Coal Project. This application needs to follow government-established procedures to be successful. The Company would also require additional permits from the state and federal governments once it moves, if at all, to the development and mining phase of the project.
 
Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations

The Company complies with all relevant government regulations at the federal, state and local level. The Company is familiar with the relevant government regulations, laws, and policies concerning the coal mining and energy industries. The Company minimizes the cost of abiding by the government regulations by being well versed in its policies and laws.

Number of Employees

The Company has no employees, only three consultants (of which two are directors, Mr. Johannes Petersen and Mr. Alvaro Valencia).

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
 
We operate in a highly competitive environment in which there are numerous factors which can influence our business, financial position or results of operations and which can also cause the market value of our common stock to decline. Many of these factors are beyond our control and therefore, are difficult to predict. The following section sets forth what we believe to be the principal risks that could affect us, our business or our industry, and which could result in a material adverse impact on our financial results or cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate or decline.
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR BUSINESS
 
We are dependent on the skill, ability and decisions of third party operators.

We will not operate any of our properties. The success of the drilling, development, production and marketing of the coal, oil and natural gas from our properties is dependent upon the decisions of such third-party operators and contractors, and their diligence to comply with various laws, rules and regulations affecting such properties. The failure of any third-party operator/contractor to make decisions, perform their services, discharge their obligations, deal with regulatory agencies, and comply with laws, rules and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations in a proper manner with respect to properties in which we have an interest could result in material adverse consequences to our interest in such properties, including substantial penalties and compliance costs. Such adverse consequences could result in substantial liabilities to us or reduce the value of our properties, which could negatively affect our results of operations.

Loss of key executives and failure to attract qualified managers, technologists, independent engineers and geologists could limit our growth and negatively impact our operations.

We depend upon our consultants to a substantial extent. In particular, we depend upon Mr. Alvaro Valencia, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Johannes Petersen, our Secretary and Chief Financial Officer, for their skills, experience, and knowledge of the company and industry contacts. The loss of Mr. Valencia or Mr. Petersen could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

As we grow, we may increasingly require field managers with experience in our industry and skilled engineers, geologists and technologists to operate diagnostic, seismic and 3D equipment. It is impossible to predict the availability of qualified managers, technologists, skilled engineers and geologists or the compensation levels that will be required to hire them. In particular, there is a very high demand for qualified technologists who are particularly necessary to operate systems similar to the ones that we intend to operate.  We may not be able to hire and retain a sufficient number of technologists, engineers and geologists and we may be required to pay bonuses and higher independent contractor rates to our technologists, engineers and geologists, which would increase our expenses. The loss of the services of any member of our senior management or our inability to hire qualified managers, technologists, skilled engineers and geologists at economically reasonable compensation levels could adversely affect our ability to operate and grow our business.

Complying with federal and state regulations is an expensive and time-consuming process, and any failure to comply could result in substantial penalties.

Our operations are directly or indirectly subject to extensive and continually changing regulation affecting mining and the oil and natural gas industry. Many departments and agencies, both federal and state, are authorized by statute to issue, and have issued, rules and regulations binding on the mining and oil and natural gas industry and our individual participants. The failure to comply with such rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties. The regulatory burden on the mining and oil and natural gas industry increases our cost of doing business and, consequently, will affect our profitability.

If operations on the properties we acquire are found to be in violation of any of the laws and regulations to which we are subject, we may be subject to the applicable penalty associated with the violation, including civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines and the curtailment of operations. Any penalties, damages, fines or curtailment of operations, individually or in the aggregate, could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results. In addition, many of these laws and regulations have not been fully interpreted by the regulatory authorities or the courts, and their provisions are open to a variety of interpretations. Any action against us for violation of these laws or regulations, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert management’s attention from the operation of our business.

We may experience competition from other energy exploration and production companies, and this competition could adversely affect our revenues and our business.

The market for coal, oil and natural gas recovery projects is generally highly competitive. Our ability to compete depends on many factors, many of which are outside of our control. These factors include operation of our properties by third party operators, timing and market acceptance, introduction of competitive technologies, price, and purchaser’s interest in acquiring our coal, oil and natural gas output, if any.

Many existing competitors, as well as potential new competitors, have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, substantial track records, and significantly greater financial, technical and technological resources than us. This may allow them to devote greater resources to the development and promotion of their coal, oil and natural gas exploration and production projects. Many of these competitors offer a wider range of coal, oil and natural gas opportunities not available to us and may attract business partners consequently resulting in a decrease of our business opportunities. These competitors may also engage in more extensive research and development, adopt more aggressive strategies and make more attractive offers to existing and potential purchasers, and partners. Furthermore, competitors may develop technology and exploration strategies that are equal or superior to us and achieve greater market recognition. In addition, current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to better address the needs of our target market. As a result, it is possible that new competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against our current or future competitors or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We will need to increase the size of our organization, and may experience difficulties in managing growth.

We expect to experience a period of significant expansion in headcount, facilities, infrastructure and overhead and anticipate that further expansion will be required to address potential growth and market opportunities. Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including the need to identify, recruit, maintain and integrate additional independent contractors and managers. Our future financial performance and our ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to manage any future growth effectively.

Coal, Oil and Natural Gas prices are volatile, and low prices could have a material adverse impact on our business.

Our profitability and future growth and the carrying value of our properties depend substantially on prevailing coal, oil and natural gas prices. Prices also affect the amount of cash flow available for capital expenditures, if any, and our ability to borrow and raise additional capital. The amount we will be able to borrow under any senior revolving credit facility will be subject to periodic redetermination based in part on changing expectations of future prices. Lower prices may also reduce the amount of coal, oil and natural gas that we can economically produce and have an adverse effect on the value of our properties. Prices for coal, oil and natural gas have increased significantly and have been more volatile over the past twelve months. Historically, the markets for coal, oil and natural gas have been volatile, and they are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. Among the factors that can cause volatility are:

-  
the domestic and foreign supply of coal, oil and gas;
-  
the ability of members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, and other producing countries to agree upon and maintain oil prices and production levels;
-  
the level of consumer product demand;
-  
the growth of consumer product demand in emerging markets, such as China and India;
-  
labor unrest in coal, oil and natural gas producing regions;
-  
weather conditions, including hurricanes and other natural disasters;
-  
the price and availability of alternative fuels;
-  
the price of foreign imports;
-  
worldwide economic conditions; and

These external factors and the volatile nature of the energy markets make it difficult to estimate future prices of coal, oil and gas and our ability to raise capital.

Transportation delays, as a result of disruptions to infrastructure, could adversely affect our operations.

Our business will depend on the availability of a distribution infrastructure. Any disruptions in this infrastructure network, whether caused by earthquakes, storms, other natural disasters or human error or malfeasance, could materially impact our business. Therefore, any unexpected delay in transportation of any coal, oil and natural gas we may produce in the future could result in significant disruption to our operations.

Assets we acquire may prove to be worth less than we paid because of uncertainties in evaluating recoverable reserves and potential liabilities.

Our initial growth is due to acquisitions of properties and/or undeveloped leaseholds. We expect acquisitions will also contribute to our future growth. Successful acquisitions require an assessment of a number of factors, including estimates of recoverable reserves, exploration potential, future energy prices, operating and capital costs and potential environmental and other liabilities. Such assessments are inexact and their accuracy is inherently uncertain. Normally, we would acquire interests in properties on an “as is” basis with limited remedies for breaches of representations and warranties.

As a result of these factors, we may not be able to acquire coal, oil and natural gas properties that contain economically recoverable reserves or be able to complete such acquisitions on acceptable terms.

Actual future production, coal, oil and natural gas prices, revenues, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of recoverable coal, oil and gas reserves will vary from those estimated. Any significant variance could materially affect the estimated quantities and the value of any potential reserves.

Exploration and development drilling efforts and the operation of wells on our properties may not be profitable or achieve our targeted returns

We require significant amounts of undeveloped leasehold acreage in order to further our development efforts. Exploration, development, drilling and production activities are subject to many risks, including the risk that commercially productive reservoirs will not be discovered. We invest in property, including undeveloped leasehold acreage, which we believe will result in projects that will add value over time. However, we cannot guarantee that all of our prospects will result in viable projects or that we will not abandon our initial investments. Additionally, we cannot guarantee that the leasehold acreage we acquire will be profitably developed, that new wells drilled on the properties will be productive or that we will recover all or any portion of our investment in such leasehold acreage, mines or wells. Drilling for oil and natural gas may involve unprofitable efforts, not only from dry wells but also from wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net reserves to return a profit after deducting operating and other costs. We rely to a significant extent on 3D seismic data and other advanced technologies in identifying leasehold acreage prospects and in determining whether or not to participate in a new well. The 3D seismic data and other technologies we use do not allow us to know conclusively prior to acquisition of leasehold acreage or the drilling of a well whether oil or natural gas is present or may be produced economically.

The unavailability or high cost of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies, personnel and energy field services could adversely affect our ability to execute our exploration and development plans on a timely basis and within our budget.

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

Title to the properties in which we have, or will have, an interest may be impaired by title defects.

We will generally obtain title opinions on significant properties that we have working interests in. However, there is no assurance that we will not suffer a monetary loss from title defects or failure. Generally, under the terms of the operating agreements affecting our properties, any monetary loss is to be borne by all parties to any such agreement in proportion to their interests in such property. If there are any title defects or defects in assignment of leasehold rights in properties in which we hold an interest, we will suffer a financial loss.

The differential between the New York Mercantile Exchange, or NYMEX, or other benchmark price of oil and natural gas and the wellhead price we receive could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
 
The prices that we receive for our oil and natural gas production sometimes trade at a discount to the relevant benchmark prices, such as NYMEX, that are used for calculating hedge positions. The difference between the benchmark price and the price we receive is called a differential. We cannot accurately predict oil and natural gas differentials. In recent years for example, production increases from competing Canadian and Rocky Mountain producers, in conjunction with limited refining and pipeline capacity from the Rocky Mountain area, have gradually widened this differential. Increases in the differential between the benchmark price for oil and natural gas and the wellhead price we receive could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows by decreasing the proceeds we receive for our oil and natural gas production in comparison to what we would receive if not for the differential.
 
Drilling wells is speculative, often involving significant costs that may be more than our estimates, and may not result in any addition to our production or reserves. Any material inaccuracies in drilling costs, estimates or underlying assumptions will materially affect our business.
 
Developing and exploring for natural gas and oil involves a high degree of operational and financial risk, which precludes definitive statements as to the time required and costs involved in reaching certain objectives. The budgeted costs of drilling, completing and operating wells are often exceeded and can increase significantly when drilling costs rise due to a tightening in the supply of various types of oilfield equipment and related services. Drilling may be unsuccessful for many reasons, including geological conditions, weather, cost overruns, equipment shortages and mechanical difficulties. Moreover, the successful drilling of a natural gas or oil well does not ensure a profit on investment. Exploratory wells bear a much greater risk of loss than development wells. A variety of factors, both geological and market-related, can cause a well to become uneconomical or only marginally economic. Our initial drilling and development sites, and any potential additional sites that may be developed, require significant additional exploration and development, regulatory approval and commitments of resources prior to commercial development. If our actual drilling and development costs are significantly more than our estimated costs, we may not be able to continue our business operations as proposed and would be forced to modify our plan of operation.
 
Development of reserves, when established, may not occur as scheduled and the actual results may not be as anticipated. Drilling activity and access to capital may result in downward adjustments in reserves or higher than anticipated costs. Our estimates will be based on various assumptions, including assumptions over which we have control and assumptions required by the SEC relating to natural gas and oil prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds. We have control over our operations that affect, among other things, acquisitions and dispositions of properties, availability of funds, use of applicable technologies, hydrocarbon recovery efficiency, drainage volume and production decline rates that are part of these estimates and assumptions and any variance in our operations that affects these items within our control may have a material effect on reserves.  The process of estimating our natural gas and oil reserves is anticipated to be extremely complex, and will require significant decisions and assumptions in the evaluation of available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data for each reservoir. Our estimates may not be reliable enough to allow us to be successful in our intended business operations. Our actual production, revenues, taxes, development expenditures and operating expenses will likely vary from those anticipated. These variances may be material.

Our decision to acquire a property will depend in part on the evaluation of data obtained from production reports and engineering studies, geophysical and geological analyses and seismic and other information, the results of which are often incomplete or inconclusive.
 
Our reviews of acquired properties can be inherently incomplete because it is not always feasible to perform an in-depth review of the individual properties involved in each acquisition. Even a detailed review of records and properties may not necessarily reveal existing or potential problems, nor will it permit a buyer to become sufficiently familiar with the properties to assess fully their deficiencies and potential. Inspections may not always be performed on every well, and environmental problems, such as ground water contamination, plugging or orphaned well liability are not necessarily observable even when an inspection is undertaken.

Our exposure to possible leasehold defects and potential title failure could materially adversely impact our ability to conduct drilling operations.
 
We obtain the right and access to properties for drilling by obtaining oil and natural gas leases either directly from the hydrocarbon owner, or through a third party that owns the lease. The leases may be taken or assigned to us without title insurance. There is a risk of title failure with respect to such leases, and such title failures could materially adversely impact our business by causing us to be unable to access properties to conduct drilling operations.
 
We are subject to complex laws and regulations, including environmental regulations, which can adversely affect the cost, manner or feasibility of doing business.
 
Development, production and sale of natural gas and oil in the United States are subject to extensive laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations. We may be required to make large expenditures to comply with environmental and other governmental regulations. Matters subject to regulation include, but are not limited to:

-  
location and density of wells;
-  
the handling of drilling fluids and obtaining discharge permits for drilling operations;
-  
accounting for and payment of royalties on production from state, federal and Indian lands;
-  
bonds for ownership, development and production of coal, natural gas and oil properties;
-  
transportation of natural gas and oil by pipelines;
-  
operation of wells and reports concerning operations; and
-  
taxation.

Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injuries, property damage, oil spills, discharge of hazardous materials, remediation and clean-up costs and other environmental damages. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations also may result in the suspension or termination of our operations and subject us to administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Moreover, these laws and regulations could change in ways that substantially increase our costs. Accordingly, any of these liabilities, penalties, suspensions, terminations or regulatory changes could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations enough to possibly force us to cease our business operations.
 
We operate in a highly competitive environment and our competitors may have greater resources than us.
 
The natural gas and oil industry is intensely competitive and we compete with other companies, many of which are larger and have greater financial, technological, human and other resources. Many of these companies not only explore for and produce crude oil and natural gas but also carry on refining operations and market petroleum and other products on a regional, national or worldwide basis. Such companies may be able to pay more for productive natural gas and oil properties and exploratory prospects or define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or human resources permit. In addition, such companies may have a greater ability to continue exploration activities during periods of low oil and natural gas market prices. Our ability to acquire additional properties and to discover reserves in the future will be dependent upon our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment. If we are unable to compete, our operating results and financial position may be adversely affected.

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

-  
our operating and financial performance and prospects;
-  
quarterly variations in the rate of growth of our financial indicators, such as net income per share, net income and revenues;
-  
changes in revenue or earnings estimates or publication of research reports by analysts about us or the coal exploration and production industry;
-  
potentially limited liquidity;
-  
actual or anticipated variations in our reserve estimates and quarterly operating results;
-  
changes in coal, natural gas and oil prices;
-  
sales of our common stock by significant stockholders and future issuances of our common stock;
-  
increases in our cost of capital;
-  
changes in applicable laws or regulations, court rulings and enforcement and legal actions;
-  
commencement of or involvement in litigation;
-  
changes in market valuations of similar companies;
-  
additions or departures of key management personnel;
-  
general market conditions, including fluctuations in and the occurrence of events or trends affecting the price of natural gas and oil; and
-  
domestic and international economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance.

We have no plans to pay dividends on our common stock. You may not receive funds without selling your stock.
 
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. Our future dividend policy is within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon various factors, including our business, financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, investment opportunities and restrictions imposed by our debentures and credit facility.

Because our common stock is deemed a low-priced “Penny” stock, an investment in our common stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions.

Since our common stock is a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act, it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment even if and when a market develops for the common stock. Until the trading price of the common stock rises above $5.00 per share, if ever, trading in the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules of the Securities Exchange Act specified in rules 15g-1 through 15g-10. Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to:

-  
Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;
-  
Disclose certain price information about the stock;
-  
Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;
-  
Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and
-  
In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules.

Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.

If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board, which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board.  More specifically, FINRA has enacted Rule 6530, which determines eligibility of issuers quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board by requiring an issuer to be current in its filings with the Commission.  Pursuant to Rule 6530(e), if we file our reports late with the Commission three times in a two-year period or our securities are removed from the OTC Bulletin Board for failure to timely file twice in a two-year period then we will be ineligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board.  As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
 
We will need additional capital to finance our planned growth, which we may not be able to raise or may only be available on terms unfavorable to us or our stockholders, which may result in our inability to fund our working capital requirements and harm our operational results.
 
We have and expect to continue to have substantial capital expenditure and working capital needs. We will need to rely on cash flow from operations and borrowings under our credit facility or raise additional cash to fund our operations, pay outstanding long-term debt, fund our anticipated reserve replacement needs and implement our growth strategy, or respond to competitive pressures and/or perceived opportunities, such as investment, acquisition, exploration, work over and development activities.
 
If low coal, natural gas and oil prices, operating difficulties or other factors, many of which are beyond our control, cause our revenues or cash flows from operations to decrease, we may be limited in our ability to spend the capital necessary to complete our development, production exploitation and exploration programs. If our resources or cash flows do not satisfy our operational needs, we will require additional financing, in addition to anticipated cash generated from our operations, to fund our planned growth. Additional financing might not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds were not available or were not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our business or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. In such a capital restricted situation, we may curtail our acquisition, drilling, development, and exploration activities or be forced to sell some of our assets on an untimely or unfavorable basis.
 
If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced, and these newly issued securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders.

Pace, Jr. (“Pace”) entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Mineral Agreement to transfer and assign all the rights and obligations of Future Gas to the Company to purchase all mineral rights (except coal), oil and gas rights owned by Pace under a Mineral Buy and Sell Agreement dated February 4, 2010. Pursuant to the Mineral Buy and Sell Agreement, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of its common stock valued at $50,000 ($0.05 per share), signed a 5% promissory note with a face value of $1,950,000 (“Promissory Note 2”). During the first 2 years, the note carries no interest.  Within the next 12 months, the Company will have to make cash payments of $400,000 (which has been classified as current liabilities on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2010), towards the repayment of this promissory note. Additional amounts of $100,000 and $200,000 are to be paid 90 days and 180 days, respectively, following the completion of the Reserve Study and Mining Plan, to be no later than April 9, 2012. Interest only payments on the $1,250,000 balance shall be made quarterly during the third and fourth years, starting July 9, 2012. Starting, July 9, 2014, the principal balance of $1,250,000 shall be paid in 8 equal quarterly installments, plus accrued interest on the unpaid principal balance to date of each principal payment. The promissory note to facilitate the agreements is contracted at an interest rate substantially below market rates for similar types of mineral, oil and gas properties.   Accordingly, the Company imputed a discount of $680,688 at a market interest rate of 16% in accordance FASB ASC 835, “Interest”.  If the Company defaults on Promissory Note 2, Pace at his option may terminate the agreement and or initiate action for any other remedy under the law. At September 30, 2010, Promissory Note 2 is presented net of unamortized debt discount of $576,823.  Under the Mineral Buy Sell Agreement, Pace is due a royalty equal to 20% of all royalties and other payments received by the Company as a result of any lease of the of the mineral property conveyed and 20% of all net cash proceeds and/or other consideration received by the Company from the sale or disposal of the mineral, oil and gas property.

Furthermore, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of its common stock valued at $50,000 ($0.05 per share) to Future Gas for the assignment of such agreements.

On April 9, 2010, the Company agreed to issue 300,000 common shares of common stock valued at $15,000 ($0.05 per share), to the parties involved in the Assignment of Coal Agreement and Assignment and Assumption of Mineral Agreement as introduction and assignment compensation. The shares were issued on August 27, 2010.

We rent an office in Denver of approximately 131 square feet. We have a one-year lease ending July 31, 2011, on the property for $996 per month and it is located at 16 Market Square Centre, 1400 16th Street, Ste 400, Denver CO 80202.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On October 5, 2010, the Company entered into a Private Placement Subscription For Non U.S. Subscribers (the “Private Placement Agreement”) with Black Sands Holdings Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Marshall Islands (“Black Sands”), in order to subscribe to and purchase units (each a “Unit”) valued at $.84 per Unit for an aggregate purchase price (“Purchase Price”) of five hundred thousand ($500,000) dollars.  Each Unit shall consist of one (1) share of common stock of the Company and one warrant (“Warrant”).  Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one additional share of Common Stock of the Company, at a strike price equal to 150% of the price of the Unit, for a period of three (3) years. Pursuant to the Private Placement Agreement, and in exchange for the Purchase Price, Black Sands has agreed to purchase Units consisting of 595,238 shares of common stock of the Company with Warrants to purchase 595,238 additional shares of common stock, at an exercise price of one dollar and twenty-six cents ($1.26) per share for a period of three (3) years.  Black Sands will acquire the shares after full payment of the Purchase Price. An executed copy of the Private Placement Subscription Agreement with Black Sands is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 8, 2010 and is hereby incorporated by reference.

On September 10, 2010, the Company entered into a Stock Issuance Agreement (the “Black Sands Agreement”) with Black Sands, whereby the Company has the right to require Black Sands to purchase up to $10,000,000 of the Company’s securities until March 31, 2013, unless extended by either the Company or Black Sands for an additional twelve (12) months.
 
Under the terms of the Black Sands Agreement, the Company may, from time to time, request an advance from Black Sands up to $1,000,000, in integral multiples of $100,000 (each, an “Advance”) per request for operating expenses, acquisitions, working capital and general corporate activities.  Following receipt of any Advance, the Company shall sell and issue Black Sands units, each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at the Unit Price. As described in the Black Sands Agreement, the “Unit Price” shall mean a price equal to 75% of the volume weighted average of the closing price of the Company’s common stock for the ten (10) business days preceding the date of any notice requesting an Advance, as quoted on Nasdaq or such other quotation system as agreed upon by the Company and Black Sands. Each warrant issued as components to Units shall represent the right of Black Sands to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price equal to 150% of the Unit Price.  All warrants to be issued as components to the Units will have a three (3) year term from the date of issuance. For further information see the Black Sands Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 13, 2010 and is hereby incorporated by reference.

On September 10, 2010, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement”) with Black Sands.  In exchange for the release of claims by Black Sands against the Company, we have agreed to enter into a debt to equity conversion as a means of settling the outstanding loan amount of $208,603.  Accordingly, Black Sands has agreed to settle the outstanding amount owed by the Company through acceptance of common stock (the “Shares”) of the Company. A total of 417,205 shares were issued to settle the loan and interest amount of $208,603. The fair value of the shares was $446,410, of which $237,807 was recognized as a loss on debt settlement.

On August 1, 2010, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Alvaro Valencia. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Valencia will serve as President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director of the Company for a period of four (4) years beginning August 1, 2010. The Consulting Agreement is renewable upon the mutual consent of the parties on or before thirty (30) days prior to the end date of the Consulting Agreement. Any such renewal shall be for a period of twelve (12) months. The Company shall pay Mr. Valencia $50,000 per year, in equal monthly installments of $4,166.

In the event of a consolidation or merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in which outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock are exchanged for securities, cash or other property of any other company, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, or business entity, the Company is otherwise acquired or there is a change of control of the Company (receipt of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company, the Company otherwise being acquired, or a change in control of the Company are collectively referred to as an “Acquisition”), or in the event of liquidation of the Company, so much of the 4,000,000 Shares that have not been issued to Company shall immediately and fully vest and shall also be transferable by Mr. Valencia immediately prior to such Acquisition or liquidation.  The numbers of Shares are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in Section 3(b) of the Consulting Agreement.
 
In the event that the Company shall at any time after August 1, 2010 (i) declare a dividend on the Common Stock in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of Common Stock, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock by reclassification of the Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then in each case, with respect to so much of the 4,000,000 Shares that have not been issued to Mr. Valencia, Mr. Valencia shall be entitled to new, additional, or different shares of Common Stock in proportion to such dividend, subdivision, combination or issuance.

The full Consulting Agreement with Alvaro Valencia is attached as Exhibit 10.1 on the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 4, 2010 and is hereby incorporated by reference.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company entered into a Private Placement Subscription For Non U.S. Subscribers (the “Black Sands Private Placement Agreement”) with Black Sands, in order to subscribe to and purchase eight hundred thousand shares (800,000) of restricted common stock of the Company (the “Shares”).

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
 
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes to our financial statements included elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results and timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed under ITEM 1A. Risk Factors are elsewhere in this report.

Overview of the Company’s Business

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada as a for-profit company on August 7, 2007. We are an exploration stage company whose intended business purpose is coal, oil and natural gas exploration, development and production. Our primary business focus is to acquire, explore and develop coal, oil and gas exploration properties in the United States of North America, with a particular focus on the Rocky Mountains region.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 and 2009

Revenues

The Company has yet to generate any revenues.

Year ended September 30, 2010 compared to the year ended September 30, 2009

We had a net loss of $777,221 for the year ended September 30, 2010, which was $755,883 greater than the net loss of $21,338 for the year ended September 30, 2009. This change in our results over the two periods is primarily the result of an increase in office and general expenses and an increase in professional and management fees to implement our business plan.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our balance sheet as of September 30, 2010, reflects current assets of $545,592. As we had cash in the amount of $520,852 and a working capital deficit in the amount of $73,136 as of September 30, 2010, we do not have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our stated plan of operation for the next twelve months.

The information to be reported under this item is not required of smaller reporting companies.
 
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.
 
Management Responsibility for Financial Information

We are responsible for the preparation, integrity and fair presentation of our financial statements and the other information that appears in this annual report on Form 10-K. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and include estimates based on our best judgment.

We maintain a comprehensive system of internal controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance, at an appropriate cost-benefit relationship, that our financial information is accurate and reliable, our assets are safeguarded and our transactions are executed in accordance with established procedures.

De Joya Griffith & Company, LLC, an independent registered public accounting firm, is retained to audit our financial statements. Its accompanying report is based on an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

Our financial statements and notes thereto, and other information required by this Item 8 are included in this report beginning on page F-1.
 
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
 
None.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the “Certifying Officers”) are responsible for maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. The controls and procedures established by us are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.
 
To evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, we have adopted the framework prescribed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  We believe that this framework will assist in the provision of reasonable assurance of the effectiveness and efficiency of operations, the reliability of financial reporting, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.  In adopting the COSO framework, we maintain a control environment, perform risk assessments, carry out control activities, emphasize quality information and effective communication, and perform monitoring.  In the maintenance of a control environment, we are committed to integrity and ethical values as well as to competence.  We strive to assign authority and responsibility in a manner that supports our internal controls, and we also maintain human resources policies and procedures designed to support our internal controls.  Our risk assessments are designed to ensure the achievement of company-wide and process-level objectives as well as to identify and analyze risks while managing change.  We believe that all of these components together form a foundation for sound internal control through directed leadership, shared values and a culture that emphasizes accountability for control.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Certifying Officers evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Certifying Officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
The Certifying Officers have also concluded, based on our evaluation of our controls and procedures that as of September 30, 2010, our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective and provide a reasonable assurance of achieving their objective.
 
Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements under all potential conditions. Therefore, effective internal control over financial reporting provides only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that a restatement of our financial statements would 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 our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in the our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
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 our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.
 
ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
(a) Conclusions regarding disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are the Company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-14(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act as of September 30, 2010, and, based on their evaluation, as of the end of such period, the our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by the Annual Report,
 
(b) Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. It is management’s responsibilities to establish and maintain adequate internal controls over the Company’s financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the issuer’s 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 the assets of the issuer; and
-  
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management of the issuer; and
-  
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
  
As of the end of the period covered by the Annual Report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
 
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of the end of the period covered by the Report.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
 
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 our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
 
(c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Biographies

Alvaro Valencia

Mr. Valencia has been an officer in the Company since August 1, 2010. Mr. Valencia holds a BSc in Economics from Universidad del Pacifico (Peru) and an MA degree in Economics from Syracuse University in New York. He brings to the Company his experience in investment banking and corporate finance, with an emphasis in the mining and infrastructure sectors. Mr. Valencia has held positions of increasing seniority in New York, Washington D.C. and Latin America. He has worked on major corporate and government mining-related projects, including working in association with Credit Suisse on the privatization of two international mining units in the mid 1990’s.

Mr. Valencia formerly worked for the investment banking division of Macroconsult S.A. and Europa Partners Latin America (formerly known as StandSure Corporate Advisors S.A.C.) in Lima, Peru. He formerly worked in the United States for the following: Inter-American Development Bank, BBVA Securities Inc. and Credit Lyonnais Securities Asia.

Johannes Petersen

Mr. Petersen has been an officer in the Company since November 20, 2009. Mr. Petersen holds a BSc in Economics from Universidad del Pacifico (Peru) and an MBA degree from the London Business School (UK). He brings to the Company experience gained from multiple managerial and directorship positions within diverse private and public companies. Since completing his business school studies, Mr. Petersen gained business development and business planning experience with an emphasis in the resources industry. He has worked in business planning and development for natural resource projects and has also covered several functions within the financial services industry, ranging from fixed income to currency trading.

Mr. Petersen currently sits on the board of directors of Hainan Mining Corporation Ltd., a private UK company of which he was a founder, and Gold American Mining Corp. a U.S. public company, currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.

Mr. Petersen formerly worked for Dragon Gold Resources Inc. and Century Petroleum Corp., U.S. companies previously listed on the OTC Bulletin Board. He also worked for American Sierra Gold Corp a U.S. company listed on the OTC Bulletin Board and sat on the board of Reflection Oil & Gas Partners Ltd (a private UK company). He formerly worked in Lima, Peru for the following: Peru Scan Trading SAC, Credibolsa SAB, Banco de Credito del Peru and CONASEV (Peruvian securities regulation agency equivalent to the SEC).

The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings in which any Director, nominee, officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of any class of voting securities of the Company, or any associate of any such Director, nominee, officer, affiliate of the Company, or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

The Company does not have a separately designated standing audit committee. Pursuant to Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act, the entire Board of Directors acts as an audit committee for the purpose of overseeing the accounting and financial reporting processes, and audits of the financial statements of the Company. The Commission recently adopted new regulations relating to audit committee composition and functions, including disclosure requirements relating to the presence of an "audit committee financial expert" serving on its audit committee. In connection with these new requirements, the Company's Board of Directors examined the Commission's definition of "audit committee financial expert" and concluded that the Company does not currently have a person that qualifies as such an expert. The Company has had minimal operations for the past two (2) years. Presently, there are only two directors serving on the Company's Board, and the Company is not in a position at this time to attract, retain and compensate additional directors in order to acquire a director who qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert.” While our current directors do not meet the qualifications of an "audit committee financial expert", the Company's directors, by virtue of his past employment experience, has considerable knowledge of financial statements, finance, and accounting, and has significant employment experience involving financial oversight responsibilities. Accordingly, the Company believes that its current director capably fulfills the duties and responsibilities of an audit committee in the absence of such an expert.

 Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations from our executive officers and directors, we believe that as of the date of this report they were all current in their 16(a) reports.

Board of Directors

Our board of directors currently consists of two members, Mr. Alvaro Valencia and Mr. Johannes Petersen. Our directors serve one-year terms.

Committees of the Board of Directors

None.

Code of Ethics

We have not adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics at this time.

Limitation of Liability of Directors
 
            Pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes, our Articles of Incorporation exclude personal liability for our Directors for monetary damages based upon any violation of their fiduciary duties as Directors, except as to liability for any breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or any transaction from which a Director receives an improper personal benefit. This exclusion of liability does not limit any right which a Director may have to be indemnified and does not affect any Director’s liability under federal or applicable state securities laws. We have agreed to indemnify our directors against expenses, judgments, and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim against a Director if he acted in good faith and in a manner he believed to be in our best interests.

Insofar as indemnification by us for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling the company pursuant to provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Non-Employee Director Compensation

None.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

The following table presents information, to the best of American Power’s knowledge, about the ownership of American Power’s common stock on January 27, 2011 relating to those persons known to beneficially own more than 5% of American Power’s capital stock and by American Power’s named executive officer, directors and directors and executive officers as a group. The percentage of beneficial ownership for the following table is based on 91,075,238 shares of common stock outstanding.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes those shares of common stock over which the stockholder has sole or shared voting or investment power. It also includes shares of common stock that the stockholder has a right to acquire within 60 days after September 30, 2010 pursuant to options, warrants, conversion privileges or other right. The percentage ownership of the outstanding common stock, however, is based on the assumption, expressly required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, that only the person or entity whose ownership is being reported has converted options or warrants into shares of American Power’s common stock.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Power Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended and from inception (August 7, 2007) to September 30, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Audited)

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

American Power Corp. (“Company”) was originally organized as Teen Glow Makeup, Inc. under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 7, 2007.  On April 30, 2010 the Company changed its name to American Power Corp. The Company is in exploration stage and has incurred losses since inception of $814,048.  The Company is An Exploration Stage Enterprise, as defined in FASB ASC 915-10 “Development Stage Entities”.  During the year ended September 30, 2010, the Company decided to redirect its business focus toward coal, oil and natural gas exploration and development.

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

Basis of Presentation
The financial statements present the balance sheets, statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows of the Company. These financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
 
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2010 have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. For the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 the Company had a net loss of $777,221 and $21,338, respectively .

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

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

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

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

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

Financial instruments
The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.  The Company’s operations are in Canada and virtually all of its assets and liabilities are giving rise to significant exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates.  The Company’s financial risk is the risk that arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates.  Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

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

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

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

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

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

Website Development Costs
Costs incurred in developing and maintaining a website are charged to expense when incurred for the planning, content population, and administration or maintenance of the website. All development costs for the application, infrastructure, and graphics development are capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalized costs are amortized using straight-line basis over a four year estimated economic life. As of September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the company recorded Website amortization of $2,894 and $nil, respectively, for net Website asset of $28,297 and $nil, respectively.
 
Revenue Recognition
Coal, oil and natural gas revenues are recorded using the sales method, whereby the Company recognizes coal, oil and natural gas revenue based on the amount of coal, oil and gas sold to purchasers, when title passes, the amount is determinable and collection is reasonably assured.  Actual sales of gas are based on sales, net of the associated volume charges for processing fees and for costs associated with delivery, transportation, marketing, and royalties in accordance with industry standards.  Operating costs and taxes are recognized in the same period in which revenue is earned.
 
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.  As at September 30, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards, however, due to the uncertainty of realization, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets resulting from these loss carryforwards.
 
Mineral Property Costs
The Company has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.  It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining and coal properties.  Mineral property exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred.  When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property, are capitalized.  Such costs will be depleted using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.
 
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral and coal properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title.  Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-09 (ASU 2010-09), Subsequent Events (Topic 855), amending guidance on subsequent events to alleviate potential conflicts between FASB guidance and SEC requirements. Under this amended guidance, SEC filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was effective immediately and we adopted these new requirements for the period ended June 30, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives" (codified within ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging). ASU 2010-11 improves disclosures originally required under SFAS No. 161. ASU 2010-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17, "Revenue Recognition - Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition" (codified within ASC 605 - Revenue Recognition). ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions. ASU 2010-17 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
In May 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-19 (ASU 2010-19), Foreign Currency (Topic 830): Foreign Currency Issues: Multiple Foreign Currency Exchange Rates.  The amendments in this Update are effective as of the announcement date of March 18, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
NOTE 3 – COAL AND OTHER MINERAL PROPERTIES
 
On March 31, 2010, the Company entered into a series of agreements to acquire all the mineral, oil and gas rights of a mineral property located in Judith Basin County, Montana for a total consideration of $2,670,500.

On March 31, 2010, the Company, Future Gas Holdings, Ltd. (“Future Gas”) and JBM Energy Company, LLC (“JBM”) entered into an Assignment of Coal Agreement (“Assignment”) to transfer and assign all the rights and obligations of Future Gas to the Company to purchase all coal mineral rights owned by JBM under a Coal Buy and Sell Agreement (“Agreement”) dated February 4, 2010. Pursuant to the Assignment and Agreement, the Company paid in cash $150,000 to JBM and signed a 5% promissory note with a face value of $1,750,000 (“Promissory Note 1”) to JBM. During the first 2 years, the note carries no interest. On July 9, 2010, an additional $200,000 was paid towards the promissory note. Within the next 12 months, the Company will have to make additional cash payments of $200,000 (which has been classified as current liabilities on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2010), towards the repayment of this promissory note. An additional amount of $100,000 is to be paid 90 days following the completion of the Reserve Study and Mining Plan, to be no later than April 9, 2012. Interest only payments on the $1,250,000 balance shall be made quarterly during the third and fourth years, starting July 9, 2012.  Starting July 9, 2014, the principal balance of $1,250,000 shall be paid in 8 equal quarterly installments, plus accrued interest on the unpaid principal balance to date of each principal payment.

At September 30, 2010, Promissory Note 1 is presented net of unamortized debt discount of $528,906. Under the Coal Buy Sell Agreement, JBM will be paid a royalty of $0.25 per ton on all coal when and as mined from the coal property.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES
 
As of September 30, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of $226,869 that may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income through 2029. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carryforwards.
 
Components of net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as follows at September 30, 2010 and 2009:
 
Deferred tax assets:
 
2010
   
2009

Less: Valuation allowance
    (79,404 )     (12,889 )
Net deferred tax assets
  $ -     $ -  
 
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of September, 2010 was $79,404. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of September 30, 2010.
 
Reconciliation between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate is as follows at September 30, 2010 and 2009:
