PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

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

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

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

 
Should we be successful in raising the entire $5,000,000, and together with our existing cash in hand, we will have sufficient resources to commence the implementation of our business plan, including the project development of our first growing location and putting together the project finance elements necessary for normal project finance.

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

Following is a brief summary of this Offering:

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

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

RISK FACTORS

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

Risks Relating to our Business

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

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

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

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

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

The Company intends to commence operations in February  2011 and to date has been focused on raising money and filing this registration statement. We are faced with all of the risks associated with a company in the early stages of development. Our business is subject to numerous risks associated with a relatively new, undercapitalized company engaged in our business sector. Such risks include, but are not limited to, competition from well-established and well-capitalized companies and unanticipated difficulties regarding the marketing and sale of our products. There can be no assurance that we will ever generate significant commercial sales or achieve profitability. Should this be the case, our common stock could become worthless and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.

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

 
3

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The average selling prices of our products, and our gross margins resulting from the sale of such products, may decline as a result of industry trends, competitive pressures and other factors.

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

Our failure to manage growth effectively could impair our success.

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

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

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

Should this Offering be fully subscribed, our directors and officers collectively own or have the right to vote approximately 33.8% of our then outstanding Common Shares. In addition, on January 28, 2011, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock. The Certificate was approved by the Board and did not require shareholder vote.  The Certificate created a new class of preferred stock known as Series A Preferred Stock. There is one share designated as Series A Preferred Stock. One share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to 50.1% of the outstanding votes on all shareholder voting matters. Series A Preferred Stock has no dividend rights and no rights upon a liquidation event.  On January 31, 2011, the Company issued one share of Series A Preferred Stock to China Energy Partners, LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Robert Kohn, our Chief Executive Officer and a Director and Ms. Bonnie Nelson, a Director, with each owning 50% of that entity.  Through this entity, Mr. Kohn and Ms. Nelson are empowered with supermajority voting rights despite the amount of outstanding voting securities they each own.

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

 
-
removal of any of our directors;

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

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

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

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

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

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

Risks Relating to our Common Shares and the Trading Market

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

However, although most blue sky laws are modeled after the USA, blue sky statutes vary widely and there is very little uniformity among state securities laws. Therefore, it is vital that each state's statutes and regulations be reviewed before embarking upon any securities sales activities in a state to determine what is permitted, or not permitted, in a particular state. While we intend to review the blue sky laws before the distribution of any securities in a particular state, should we fail to properly register the securities as required by the respective states or find an exemption from registration, then you may not be able to resell your stock once purchased.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  We use words such as: anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions, to identify such forward-looking statements.  You should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements.  Actual results are most likely to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced as described in the Risk Factors section and elsewhere in this Prospectus.  Factors which may cause the actual results or the actual plan of operations to vary include, among other things, decisions of the board of directors not to pursue a specific course of action based on its re-assessment of the facts or new facts, or changes in general economic conditions and those other factors set out in this Prospectus.

Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “potential,” or the negative of those terms, and similar expressions and comparable terminology intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this prospectus and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise after the date of this prospectus. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are excluded from the safe harbor protection provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, referred to herein as the Securities Act.
USE OF PROCEEDS

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

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

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

Our corporate headquarters is a sublease we are negotiating for 2,000 square feet of office space for 26 months and will cost us approximately $50,000 per year including all furniture.
 
Our project development costs are a budget which cover the development costs related to potential projects to be developed including feasibility studies for each project. We will be limited as to the number of projects we can develop by the funds available for project development costs. Project development costs include travel, engineering, soil studies, negotiations with third party purchasers of products produced, presentations to governments, municipalities and prospective joint venture partners, licenses, legal and accounting and related feasibility project costs. Project development costs do not include the cost of a biomass project. As we increase the amount of shares sold under this Offering we will be able to develop more projects and therefore our project development costs will increase.
 
 
10

 

In the event we are able to sell only 25% of the shares under this Offering, we believe we have sufficient funds from our proceeds raised to allocate the necessary funds required to commence project development for our first biomass project.   We would pay costs associated with setting up corporate headquarters. We would seek to raise the remaining $3,750,000 identified as being optimal for establishing our project development activities.  Under this scenario we will have limited working capital and therefore there is a chance of our business failing. Our officers would accrue, but not be paid, a salary in this circumstance.

Should we only be able to sell 50% of the shares under this Offering we would expend the funds as detailed above to set up the corporate office, project development costs for biomass projects and working capital.  Our working capital would in this situation be approximately $1,750,000 total. While the raise of $2,500,000 is sufficient to start project development of our initial biomass projects and generally operate the Company for the first year, we will not have raised enough capital to be in a position to develop additional biomass projects.  We would therefore seek to raise the remaining $2,500,000 as soon as possible, in order to continue our business plan fully.  We believe that by having sufficient funds to develop a first operating biomass operation, it will be somewhat easier to raise the remaining funds.  However, there is no assurance we will be successful in doing so.  If we are unable to raise the funds, we will be in a position whereby a substantial amount of funds has been invested into establishing and developing only one or two biomass projects but we won’t have a solid foundation for further growth and expansion.

If we are able to sell 75% of the shares under the Offering, we believe that we will have sufficient funds to generally effect our business plan and develop multiple biomass projects for a period of one year.   We would still seek to raise the remaining $1,250,000, and we believe this should be less challenging to accomplish, though there is no assurance of success.  If we cannot raise the required funds, we won’t have a solid foundation for further growth and expansion.

 
In any of the three scenarios presented representing our not selling 100% of the shares under the Offering, while we will be able to advance our business plan to varying degrees, we will be required to raise additional capital in some manner that we have not yet identified, in order to achieve the level of progress in our business plan identified in the 100% scenario.  If we are unsuccessful in doing so, the risks to an investor in this Prospectus are increased, particularly in the 25% and 50% scenarios.  In all these situations, management will accrue but will not be paid their salary until $2,500,000 has been raised either through the Offering or in some other fashion.

 
Should we raise the entire $5,000,000 we are seeking from this Offering, we will have sufficient funds for our operations for the twelve month period following the completion of this Offering (“Initial Period”), inclusive of having paid $50,000 towards our permanent corporate headquarters and $3,250,000 towards our project development costs.  Our working capital would then be $1,700,000 plus the approximately $300,000 working capital already on hand.  This is expected to be sufficient to pay for the project development costs and feasibility studies to obtain project financing  for our first biomass project during the Initial Period.  If our project development operations do not generate sufficient revenue, and profitability, within the Initial Period, we would be required to raise additional funds, for which we have not identified any sources at this time. There can be no assurance that even though we prepare the feasibility studies showing profitability, that we will be able to obtain the necessary financing required for a fully operating biomass project.

In the event that we sell less than 25% of the shares in this Offering, we will have a Use of Proceeds which will follow the below order:
Establishment of permanent corporate headquarters
  $ 50,000  
Legal and Accounting
  $ 125,000  
Employee Expense
  $ 65,000  
Total Use of Proceeds
  $ 240,000  

Any remaining funds from initial $300,000 raise will be applied to working capital.  All other shares sold from this Offering will be used for project development costs for energy crop growing projects.
 
As of November 30, 2010, our period end, our wholly-owned subsidiary, BioPower Corporation, had raised $1 through the sale of  10,000 shares of our common stock and secured a loan of $19,999 from our CEO and a Director which such shares have been cancelled as of January 5, 2011 and are not being registered as part of this Prospectus.

Subsequent to our period end, we accepted subscription agreements on February 2, 2011 for the sale of 1,200,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.25 per share with no commissions paid, for total proceeds of $300,000.   From this total of $300,000, $15,000 has been expended towards the preparation of our Registration Statement. As of the date of this filing, we have approximately $300,000 cash in hand.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

There is no established market for our stock. The offering price for shares sold pursuant to this Offering is set at $0.50 per common share. To date, we have issued a total of 90,250,000 common shares, 85,100,000 common shares of which were sold at an average price of $0.0036 per share, for total gross proceeds of $308,310.

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

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

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

 
-
our cash requirements;- the proceeds to be raised by the Offering;

 
-
our lack of operating history; and

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

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

There are no warrants, rights or convertible securities associated with this Offering.
 
DILUTION
 
“Net tangible book value” is the amount that results from subtracting the total liabilities and intangible assets from the total assets of an entity.  Dilution occurs because we determined the offering price based on factors other than those used in computing book value of our stock.  Dilution exists because the book value of shares held by existing stockholders is lower than the offering price offered to new investors.
 
We are offering shares of our common stock for $0.50 per share through this Offering. At November 30, 2010 our net tangible book value was ($1,333). We have adjusted the Net tangible book value to reflect the following stock sales. In 2011, founding shareholders of the Company purchased a total of 83,900,000 shares of our common stock for $8390. In addition, we have sold an additional 1,200,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.25 per share with no commissions paid, for total proceeds of $300,000. Of the total 85,100,000 shares sold, the average selling price was $0.0036 per share. 5,150,000 shares were issued at no cost for agreements for services and an exclusive license. We have 90,250,000 shares outstanding prior to the offering.

(1)
The net tangible book value per share before the Offering is determined by dividing the number of shares of common stock outstanding into our net tangible book value at 11/30/2010 plus the $308,390 received from sales of stock in 2011.

 
(2)
The net tangible book value after the Offering is determined by adding the net tangible book value before the Offering to the estimated proceeds to us from the current Offering less the remaining Prospectus preparation costs of $40,250.  The net tangible book value before the Offering, as at February 7, 2011, was determined by including the $5,000,000 of new capital, less $40,250 for payment of the costs of preparing the Prospectus.

 
(3)
The net tangible book value per share after the Offering is determined by dividing the number of shares that will be outstanding after the Offering into the net tangible book value after the Offering as determined in Note 3.
 
Following is a comparison of the differences of your investment in our shares with the share investment our existing stockholders.

The existing stockholders have purchased a total of 85,100,000 common shares for an aggregate amount of $308,310 or an average cost of approximately $0.0036 per share.  Your investment in our shares will cost you $0.50 per share.  In the event that this Offering is fully subscribed, the net tangible book value of the stock held by the existing stockholders will increase by $0.0532 per share, while your investment will decrease by $0.497 per share. If this Offering is fully subscribed, the total capital contributed by new investors will be $5,000,000.  The percentage of capital contribution will then be 5.81% for the existing stockholders and 94.2% for the new investors.  The existing stockholders will then hold, as a percentage, 84.89% of our issued and outstanding shares, while the new investors will hold, as a percentage, 9.98%.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

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

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

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

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

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

 
-
privately negotiated transactions;

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

 
-
a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 
-
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

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

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

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

The following table sets forth information concerning the selling stockholders, including the number of shares currently held and the number of shares offered by each selling security holder, to our knowledge as of February 2, 2011. At the time of acquisition, there were no agreements, understandings or arrangements between any selling stockholders and any other persons, either directly or indirectly, to distribute the securities.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

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

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

 
16

 

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

In order to comply with the applicable securities laws of certain states, the securities may not be offered or sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in such states or an exemption from such registration or qualification requirement is available and with which we have complied. The purchasers in this Offering and in any subsequent trading market must be residents of such states where the Shares have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from such registration or qualification requirement is available. As of this date, we have not identified the specific states where the offering will be sold.

Investors can purchase the Shares in this offering by contacting the Company. All payments must be made in United States currency either by personal check, bank draft, or cashier’s check. There is no minimum subscription requirement. We expressly reserve the right to either accept or reject any subscription. All accepted subscription agreements are irrevocable. Any subscription rejected will be returned to the subscriber within 5 business days of the rejection date. Furthermore, once a subscription agreement is accepted, it will be executed without reconfirmation to or from the subscriber. Once we accept a subscription, the subscriber cannot withdraw it.

INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE REGISTRANT
Description of Business

General

BioPower Operations Corporation ("we," "our,"  “BioPower”, “BIO” or the “Company") was incorporated in Nevada on January 5, 2011. On January 6, 2011 we acquired 100% of BioPower Corporation (“BC”), a Florida corporation incorporated on September 13, 2010 by our CEO and Director contributing  100% of the outstanding shares  to the Company.  As a result, BC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
 On January 14, 2011 we formed Global Energy Crops Corporation (“GECC”), a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary.
 
BioPower is a development stage renewable energy company with no operations or revenues to date focused on growing non-food energy crops - trees and grass which produce biomass feedstock which can be converted into electricity and biofuels.
 
Our proposed business is to develop sustainable biomass projects which will cultivate energy crops and produce end products which may include biofuels; electricity; livestock feed and fertilizer.  Our initial approach to project development is to develop relationships with private land owners, Native Americans, municipalities or government agencies that want to turn non-food growing land into energy crop plantations for the major purpose of producing biofuels and/or electricity and increase current levels of job opportunities. The costs of project development operations for one year are outlined in our use of proceeds.  This Offering is intended to fund project development operations for one year.
 
Once we identify a potential project, and within a sixty to ninety (60-90) day period, we will put together a feasibility study to  determine which energy crop to grow, what the output is and potential customers for the output. 
 
We intend for the projects to be funded through investors or joint venture partners in the project, who want to fund a sustainable energy crop growing project to make significant returns; traditional project finance through banks by providing the feasibility study; humanitarian funds; government financing or subsidies; bonds or other financing strategies to be determined on a project by project basis.  Although we believe that our projects solve problems for land owners, create significant returns for investors/joint venture partners, and solve various issues for municipalities that own non-productive land and need to create jobs, there can be no assurance that we will ever be successful in funding a biomass energy growing project. Our first year goal is to have one biomass energy crop project funded and planted.      
 
BioPower and Clenergen - History
 
In 2009, Mr. Robert Kohn, then a Director of Clenergen Corporation (www.clenergen.com) (CRGE.PK), proposed that “Clenergen BioPower” be formed for the purpose of developing biomass projects in the North and South America marketplaces. Under that proposed structure, Clenergen would fund the operations through a loan and have an equity interest in Clenergen BioPower. Clenergen BioPower was never formed and never commenced development stage operations. In September 2010, when it was clear that Clenergen was focused on India, Africa, Philippines and other territories outside of North and South America, Mr. Robert Kohn advised the Clenergen Board of Directors that he would like to start a separate company focused on these territories. Clenergen’s Board of Directors agreed and discussions ensued relative to an exclusive license for certain territories being granted to a new entity formed by Mr. Robert Kohn. Accordingly, BioPower Corporation was formed by Robert Kohn and Bonnie Nelson on September 13, 2010 in the State of Florida. Mr. Robert Kohn formally resigned as the non-executive Chairman of the Board of Clenergen on January 26, 2011.
 
On November 30, 2010 Clenergen and BioPower Corporation executed a license agreement. There is no direct or indirect relationship between Clenergen and BioPower other than the license agreement.
 
BioPower License Agreement Clenergen
 
On November 30, 2010 an exclusive license agreement was signed between BioPower Corporation and Clenergen Corporation. BioPower Corporation has the exclusive license for the United States, Central America, Guam, and Mexico to utilize Clenergen’s biomass growing technologies.  Clenergen Corporation is a public company which utilizes a tree adapation technology applied to selected tree species, namely, Paulownia and Melia dubia and a grass Beema Bamboo. Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Company shall pay to Clenergen a royalty, on each 12-month period, as follows:
 
 
(a)
eight percent (8%) of the first $50,000,000 of gross revenue, or any part thereof;
 
 
(b)
three percent (3%) of the second $50,000,000 of gross revenue, or any part thereof; and
 
 
(c)
one percent (1%) of any and all gross revenue over $100,000,000.
 
Clenergen has three energy crops: Melia dubia, Marjestica and Bamboo.  If we plant any of those energy crops then Clenergen will receive royalties from the revenues derived from those plantations. Clenergen has the rights to technologies including for the production of biofuel and biomass conversion to electricity. We will only use Clenergen’s technology rights with Clenergen’s energy crops.
 
The License Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated by Clenergen as provided therein.  If Clenergen licenses its technology in other territories at a lower percentage then above, then the Company’s license fees will be reduced to the lowest percentage charged by Clenergen.

Green Oil Plantations Americas, Inc.

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

Under the Clenergen and Green Oil Plantations license agreements, we may also seek to develop gasification and steam processes projects. Gasification and steam processes are technologies which turn biomass into electricity. A feasibility study is prepared for each project and will determine the products to be produced from each plantation and the technologies to utilize that will best fit the project. If it is determined that electricity is a product to be produced then BioPower will use the best technologies available for each project. BioPower may sell the biomass to third party producers of electricity or determine that utilizing gasification or steam processes to create electricity is to the benefit of all parties.
 
The Company and its subsidiaries, have never declared bankruptcy, have never been in receivership, and have never been involved in any legal action or proceedings.

Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries, nor our officers, directors, promoters or affiliates, has had preliminary contact or discussions with, nor do we have any present plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with any representatives of the owners of any business or company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger.  Since incorporation, we have not made any material purchase or sale of assets outside the ordinary course of business.

We are not a blank check registrant as that term is defined in Rule 419(a)(2) of Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933, since we have a specific business plan or purpose.

Business Development

The Company was formed to leverage the experience, expertise, business relationships and financial expertise of its officers, directors and advisors focused on growing biomass energy crops to convert into electricity and biofuels.

BioPower Corporation acquired the license rights from Clenergen Corporation to an exclusive territory including the United States, Central America, Mexico, and Guam to convert biomass into electricity and biofuels.  Clenergen Corporation has established this model in India, Africa and the Philippines and in 2010 first began to generate revenues.  Mr. Robert Kohn, our principal shareholder, CEO and a Director of BIO, was the non-executive Vice Chairman of Clenergen Corporation.  He resigned on January 26, 2011 due to the potential conflicts of interest as CEO of BIO.

We are a development stage company and we have no operations or revenues to date. The outline above reflects how we intend to operate our company once we commence operations. It also includes certain products that we intend to produce. It is our plan for the twelve months following the effectiveness of our Prospectus, and subject to our having success in raising additional capital through our  Offering, to establish our corporate headquarters in Florida, from which we will base our  operations.  In parallel to this, we intend to establish our first biomass operation by the separate funding of a project.

Principal products and services
 
The Company is a development stage company with no operations or sales to date. The focus of the Company is primarily growing biomass energy crops - trees and bamboo. We intend to sell the biomas and resultant  products we grow. The products can also be converted to biofuels and  to produce electricity.  We intend to:
 
   
1.
Joint venture with land owners and investors, work with municipalities, U.S. and other government agencies and Native American Tribes who are interested in taking undervalued non-food crop land and growing energy crops to produce biomass which can then be converted to electricity and biofuels.
 
 
2.
Joint venture with both international and smaller technology companies who are currently producing electricity and biofuels.
 
 
3.
Execute supply chain contracts with major buyers of energy crop products including biomass feedstock, electricity and biofuels.
 
 
4.
Seek financing from US Aid, OPIC, humanitarian funds and similar organizations for energy crop growing projects in third world countries for the conversion to electricity and biofuels.
 
There can be no assurance the above will ever be achieved.

Our licensor, Clenergen, uses polyploidy technology to grow their strains of trees and bamboo.  This enables the Company to produce a greater yield of green electricity and biofuels per acre planted.  In certain cases, according to location and energy crop, the growing of the trees and bamboo and conversion to electricity and biofuels will produce verifiable carbon credits. This technology applies to growing energy crops such as Melia dubia, Marjestica and Bamboo. Each of these energy crops can only be grown under certain conditions, which particularly does not include cold weather conditions.
 
Polyploid is a term used to describe cells and organisms containing more than two paired sets of chromosomes. Polyploidy is especially common in plants. Polyploidy technology, therefore, is changing gene expression in plant hybrids and allopolyploids which are associated with growth vigor, enhanced resistances to diseases and environmental stresses, and fiber cell development, which leads to increased biomass and evolutionary success of plant polyploids.  Moreover, the results have significant implications, not only for the field of genetics, but also for the ultimate success of biotechnological efforts to safely and effectively manipulate gene expression associated with growth vigor in plants and crops that produce food, feed, and biofuels.
 
Our licensor, Green Oil Plantations Ltd. and their affiliates, have on-going energy crop growing programs around the world. Green Oil Plantations, technology applies to growing energy crops such as Siver Leaf, Millettia and Jatropha. Silver Leaf is planted in cold conditions where apples are grown. This enables the Company to offer turnkey projects including site evaluation, project development, planting, plantation management, biomass production and conversion to electricity or biofuels.
The Company intends to offer profitable growing programs to joint venture partners, investors, municipalities and government agencies and in certain cases have the potential for additional income from the sale of carbon credits.  There can be no assurance such results will ever be achieved.

According to the US Energy Information Administration, the market for electricity in the United States in 2009 was $353 Billion.   We intend to offer green electricity and biofuels to utilities; coal-fired electric generators, electric generating users; oil and oil related companies, government agencies; municipalities; and commercial and industrial customers around the world.

Distribution methods of the products or services

On a wholesale basis we intend to sell biomass feedstock, wood chips and wood pellets to electric generation companies.  If we grow Milleltia or Silverleaf we can also sell green oil without further conversion. If we convert to biofuels, such as biodiesel, we may sell direct to oil companies or we may sell to other wholesalers specializing in biofuel sales to oil companies. The oil companies we have initially spoken with have a significant demand for biofuels. If we produce carbon credits we intend to sell to companies who purchase carbon credits including utilities. There can be no assurance such results will ever be achieved.

Status of any publicly announced new product or service

As a development stage company, we do not have new products or services, beyond that which we anticipate offering as described previously.

Competitive business conditions and the smaller reporting company's competitive position in the industry and methods of competition

The energy crop growing industry is fragmented worldwide with Universities and energy crop production labs spending the last 15-20 years doing research and development on the best energy crop yields. Much of this research has been done outside the United States. Many of the energy crop growing companies are in the development or early stages of production. The renewable energy industry is extremely competitive in general, with competitors ranging from the largest tree growing company, International Paper; utilities such as Exelon, Southern Cos., Duke and large oil companies such as BP and Exxon to smaller technology companies and early stage renewable energy companies.

Sources and availability of raw materials and the names of principal suppliers

We plan on purchasing our seedlings from our licensors. One of our licensors, Clenergen, is capable of producing 200,000 non-energy food crops seedlings per week in India. Our other licensor, Green Oil has partners that sell seedlings worldwide. There can be no assurance successful results will ever be achieved.

Dependence on one or a few major customers

Our projects are dependent on contracts for the sale of biomass feedstock to end users for electricity and biofuels.  We do not intend to be dependent upon a small number of larger customers, but rather on a large spectrum of major purchasers of electricity and biofuels.

Patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts, including duration

We have an exclusive license from Clenergen Corporation in perpetuity for the exclusive territory of the United States, Central America, Mexico and Guam for the use of Clenergen’s technologies including their own developed strains of biomass energy crops.

We have an exclusive fully paid up license from Green Oil for 50 years for the exclusive territory of North America, Central America, South America, Caribbean, not including Cuba, and U.S. territories for the use of Green Oil’s technologies and turnkey proprietary growing systems including their own developed strains of biomass energy crops.
 
Need for any government approval of principal products or services. If government approval is necessary and the smaller reporting company has not yet received that approval, discuss the status of the approval within the government approval process

We will require specific governmental approvals to grow energy crops from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. We do not anticipate any difficulties in obtaining permits and licenses.  If we were to build our own conversion facilities, these would require permits and licensing from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as well as State and Local agencies.  There can be no assurance that we would receive such permits or licenses.

Effect of existing or probable governmental regulations on the business

We anticipate government regulations from the U.S. Department of Agriculture when attempting to utilize land for growing energy crops.  We intend to primarily use  land that is not fit for growing food.  Second, we intend to use energy crops that have been approved for growing in the United States or that can meet the requirements of the USDA.  We are aware that not obtaining permits would impact our business model, but we will operate in the same regulatory environment as all other energy crop growing operations that are dealing with USDA regulations.

Estimate of the amount spent during each of the last two fiscal years on research and development activities, and if applicable, the extent to which the cost of such activities is borne directly by customers;

As a recently incorporated company, we have not undertaken any R&D activities, nor do we intend to have R&D activities.  Our licensors provide all R&D activities.

Costs and effects of compliance with environmental laws (federal, state and local)

While we anticipate costs for compliance to environmental laws, which will typically be for licensing or permitting growing operations, these are part of the normal and customary costs for every growing operation.   These costs generally vary by state, are not significant as relates to the total project cost, and are part of the business model costs for each growing operation.

Number of total employees and number of full-time employees

We presently have three employees and various consultants and advisors. Robert Kohn, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dale Shepherd, our President and Chief Operating Officer and Bonnie Nelson, Director of Business Strategy.  We intend to hire additional employees for project development and to manage and staff our operations as we raise capital and complete specific milestones that would require these employees.  In the meantime, we will rely on present management, being our officers, three employees and consultants and advisors to direct our business.  Robert Kohn has extensive experience in biomass and the electric utility industry, while President of Entrade at Exelon.  Dale Shepherd spent 18 years with General Electric. All of our current employees will accrue, but not be paid, their salary until such time as we have been successful in raising $2,500,000 through this Offering.

Reports to Security Holders

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

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

Description of Property

The Company does not presently have any properties.  We utilize offices owned by our officers and directors without any payment for the use of those offices.

We expect to obtain permanent corporate headquarters upon raising funds through this Offering.

Legal Proceedings

We know of no pending proceedings to which any director, member of senior management, or affiliate is either a party adverse to us, or our subsidiaries, or has a material interest adverse to us or our subsidiaries.

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

Market Information

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

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

Immediately after this Offering, if fully subscribed, we will have 100,250,000 shares of common stock outstanding.  Of these shares, the 10,000,000 shares sold in this Offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any shares of common stock purchased by one of our affiliates within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

Additionally, the 16,250,000 shares identified for resale by Selling Stockholders will also be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any shares of common stock held by one of our affiliates within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act; in addition, such shares held by our affiliates are subject to a two-year lockup agreement.  Further, in the event the warrant is exercised, there will be an additional 1,000,000 free trading shares of our common stock.

Notwithstanding, certain selling stockholders have each entered into a lockup agreement with the Company effectively restricting them from transferring some or all of their common stock for a period of time without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may be unreasonably withheld. The selling stockholders named in this prospectus are subject to a one-year lockup for some of their shares and our officers and directors are subject to a two-year lockup on all of their shares. Each selling stockholder executed their one year lockup agreement on January 31, 2011, except for the Ford Irrevocable Trust and the Fox Irrevocable Trust, which executed their one year lockup agreements on January 18, 2011. Further, the officers and directors executed their two year lockup agreements on January 18, 2011, except for Dale Shepherd, who executed his lockup agreement on January 23, 2011. Subsequent to the lockup period, the stockholder may sell its common stock every calendar quarter in an amount equal to no more than one percent (1%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock; provided, however, that the stockholder shall not be permitted to make any transfer, or portion thereof, that would exceed twenty percent (20%) of the average weekly reported volume of trading of the Company’s common stock on all national securities exchanges and/or reported through the automated quotation system of a registered securities association during the calendar week preceding the Transfer.  Moreover, as per the lockup agreement, prior to any transfer, the stockholder must first offer its shares of common stock to be sold to the Company and allow the Company to purchase such shares at a price that is ninety percent (90%) of the average closing price for the Company’s Common Stock, as reported or quoted on its principal exchange or trading market, for the consecutive five (5) trading days prior to the transfer notice given to the Company.

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

 
24

 

Rule 144

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

Sales under Rule 144 by Affiliates

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

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

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

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

Sales under Rule 144 by Non-Affiliates

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

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

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

These cautionary statements should be considered with any written or oral forward-looking statements that we may issue in the future.  Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results, later events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

In this registration statement, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares of our capital stock.

The management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

As of January 18, 2011, we had raised a total of $8,390 from the sale of 83,900,000 shares of our common stock at par value $0.0001, comprised of 33,500,000 shares of common stock to officers and directors of the Company, and the balance of 50,400,000 common shares of stock to 10 related parties of officers and directors totaling 39,850,000 common shares of stock of which they disclaim beneficial ownership.

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

While the amounts raised are sufficient to commence the start-up project development operations of the Company while we undertake the completion of the Prospectus, we will be required to raise additional capital by way of the sale of our common stock through this Offering.

If this Offering is successful, and we are able to raise the entire $5,000,000, we will have sufficient funds to meet operational costs for the current fiscal year, and we will be able to implement key aspects of our business plan, including setting up our permanent corporate headquarters and project development costs for our energy growing operations.    We would have a total of $1,700,000 remaining for working capital, in addition to the approximately $300,000 cash on hand.   We expect these amounts will be sufficient to initiate and sustain our operations.

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

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

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

 
27

 
 
Results of Operations

Our operations from inception of September 13, 2010 through to November 30, 2010 have been focused on establishing the Company.  As of that date, we had incurred a net loss of $1,334, as a result general and administrative expenses associated with the commencement of the Company.

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

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Changes in and disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure

There are not currently and have not been any disagreements between us and our accountants on any matter of accounting principles, practices or financial statement disclosure.

Director Independence

The Company has developed the following categorical standards for determining the materiality of relationships that the Directors may have with the Company. A Director shall not be deemed to have a material relationship with the Company that impairs the Director's independence as a result of any of the following relationships:

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

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

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

 
-
the Director is an officer of an entity that is indebted to the Company, or to which the Company is indebted, and the total amount of either the Company's or the business entity's indebtedness is less than three percent of the total consolidated assets of such entity as of the end of the previous fiscal year; and

 
-
the Director obtained products or services from the Company on terms generally available to customers of the Company for such products or services. The Board retains the sole right to interpret and apply the foregoing standards in determining the materiality of any relationship.

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

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

INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BY REFERENCE

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES LIABILITIES

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

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

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

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

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of:
BioPower Operations Corporation

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of BioPower Operations Corporation as of November 30, 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows from September 13, 2010 (inception) to November 30, 2010.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit 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 audit 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 BioPower Operations Corporation as of November 30, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from September 13, 2010 (inception) to November 30, 2010, 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 2 to the financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $1,334 and net cash used in operations of $804 for the period ended November 30, 2010. The Company also has a working capital deficit and stockholders’ deficit of $1,333 at November 30, 2010. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regards to these matters is 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
November 30, 2010

Note 1 Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

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

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

The Company’s fiscal period end is November 30.

Risks and Uncertainties

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

Use of Estimates

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

Such estimates for the period ended November 30, 2010, and assumptions affect, among others, the following:
 
estimated fair value of share based payments
 
estimated valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, due to continuing losses

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Earnings per share

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

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the periods the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740-20, “Income Taxes – Intraperiod Tax Allocation,” clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740-20 by prescribing guidance for the recognition, de-recognition and measurement in financial statements of income tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns or tax positions expected to be taken in tax returns, including a decision whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. FASB ASC Topic 740-20 requires that any liability created for unrecognized tax benefits is disclosed. The application of FASB ASC Topic 740-20 may also affect the tax bases of assets and liabilities and therefore may change or create deferred tax liabilities or assets. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. At November 30, 2010, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

Note 2 Going Concern

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

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

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

Note 3 Income Taxes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8% of the first $50,000,000 of gross revenue;

3% of the second $50,000,000 of gross revenue; and

1% of anything in excess of $100,000,000
 
If the former affiliate company charges a lesser percentage to another entity, then the first $50,000,000 will be decreased to the lowest percentage charged.
 
No such transactions have occurred as of November 30, 2010 and through February 7, 2011.

Note 7 Subsequent Events

(B)  Stock Issuances
 
(1)  Preferred Stock

On January 28, 2011, the Company issued one share of Series A, preferred stock for $1.  This series of preferred stock had a provision that the holder of the one share, a related party controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a Director, can vote 50.1% of the total votes.  There are no preferences, dividends, or conversion rights.
 
(2)  Common Stock

In January and February 2011, the Company issued the following shares for cash and services:

Type
 
Quantity

Total
    90,250,000     $ 608,390          

In connection with the stock issued for services rendered, the Company determined fair value based upon the value of the services provided, which was the most readily available evidence.

The service provider also received 1-year warrants for 1,000,000 shares, with an exercise price of $1 per share.  The warrants were granted for services rendered. The warrants have a fair value of $60,800, based upon the black-scholes option-pricing model.  The Company used the following weighted average assumptions:

Expected dividends
0%
Expected volatility
150%
Expected term
1 year
Risk free interest rate
0.28%
Expected forfeitures
0%

In connection with the stock issued for the license agreement, the following occurred:

(b)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 
(c)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the Offering.

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

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

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

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

(5)
Insofar as Indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provision, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
 
(6)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:  The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
 
i.
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
 
ii.
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
 
 
iii.
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
 
 
iv.
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
 
 
b.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
 
c.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
