Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current beliefs or expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Such statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance.

Such statements are not promises or guarantees and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause our future results, performance or achievements to differ significantly from the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include our ability to maintain and develop market share for our products; global, regional or national economic and financial conditions, including events such as the financial crisis that commenced in 2008 and the consequent economic recession, and their individual or collective impact on demand for our products and services; the introduction of competing products or technologies; our inability to successfully identify, consummate and integrate acquisitions; our potential exposure to liability claims; the uncertainty and volatility of the markets in which we operate; the availability and price of copper, our principal raw material; our ability to negotiate extensions of labor agreements on acceptable terms and to successfully deal with any labor disputes; our ability to service, and meet all requirements under, our debt, and to maintain adequate credit facilities and credit lines; our ability to make payments of interest and principal under our existing and future indebtedness; our ability to increase manufacturing capacity and productivity; the fact that we have operations outside the United States that may be materially and adversely affected by acts of terrorism, war and political and social unrest, or major hostilities; increased exposure to political and economic developments, crises, instability, terrorism, civil strife, expropriation and other risks of doing business in foreign markets; economic consequences arising from natural disasters and other similar catastrophes, such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis; price competition and other competitive pressures; the impact of climate change on our business and operations and on our customers; our ability to avoid limitations on utilization of net losses for income tax purposes; fluctuations in currency, exchange and interest rates, operating results and the impact of technological changes and other factors that are discussed in this report and in our other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”).

In particular, these statements include, among other things, statements relating to:

	•		our business strategy;

	•		our prospects for future revenues and profits in the markets in which we operate;

	•		the fact that our Common Shares are now traded on a national exchange in the United States;

	•		our dependence on a limited number of suppliers for our raw materials and our vulnerability to fluctuations in the cost of our raw materials; and

	•		our liquidity.

We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or other information contained in this Prospectus, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. You are advised, however, to consult any additional disclosures we make in our filings with the SEC. Also note that we provide a cautionary discussion of risks and uncertainties under the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 4 of this Prospectus. These are factors that we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results. Other factors besides those listed there could also adversely affect us.

This discussion is permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

HISTORICAL TRADING INFORMATION

From March 26, 1997 through December 31, 2001, the Company’s Common Shares were listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “AWC.” Prior to such listing, there was no public market for the Company’s equity securities.

The Company’s Common Shares were subsequently delisted from the NYSE in the first quarter of 2002 and were traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTC BB”), which is an electronic quotation service for trading of shares of over-the-counter securities among market makers who are members of FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority). The Company was not in a position to make the filing of its 2004 annual report on a timely basis. After the expiration of an automatic grace period, on August 29, 2005 the OTC BB delisted the Company for failure to remain current in the filing of its periodic reports. The Company relisted on the OTC BB in April 2008 under the symbol “AWRCF.” Until that relisting on the OTC BB, the Common Shares were traded on the Pink Sheets.

Effective as of April 29, 2011, the Common Shares of the Company were listed on the NASDAQ and currently trade under the symbol “APWC.”

The high and low sales price for Common Shares on the Pink Sheets (from 2006 until April 2008), again on the OTC BB (from April 2008 to April 2011) and then on the NASDAQ (since April 29, 2011) for each period specified are as follows:

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale of Common Shares by the selling shareholders named herein. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the securities offered by this Prospectus, other than brokerage commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of securities offered hereby by the selling shareholders which will be borne by the selling shareholders. Sales of the securities offered hereby may be effected by the selling shareholders from time to time in one or more types of transactions (which may include block transactions) on the NASDAQ at prevailing market prices, in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through put or call options transactions relating to the shares offered hereby, through short sales of the shares offered hereby, or a combination of such methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These prices will fluctuate based on the demand for the shares and other factors, including general market conditions. Such transactions may or may not involve brokers or dealers. The selling shareholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their respective securities, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the securities offered hereby by the selling shareholders.

A selling shareholder may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Common Shares owned by it and offered by this Prospectus and, if such selling shareholder defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Common Shares from time to time under this Prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this Prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), amending the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successor-in-interest as a selling shareholder under this Prospectus. A selling shareholder also may transfer the Common Shares in other circumstances, in which case the donees, transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this Prospectus and may sell the Common Shares from time to time under this Prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this Prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending the list of shareholders to include the donee, transferee, pledgee or other successor-in-interest as a selling shareholder under this Prospectus. Upon our being notified by a selling shareholder that a pledgee or donee intends to sell Common Shares, a supplement to this Prospectus will be filed. As used herein, “selling shareholders” includes any such pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors-in-interests selling Common Shares received after the date of this Prospectus from the named selling shareholders and, unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the Securities Act, named in the list of selling shareholders included in an amendment to this Prospectus filed under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provisions of the Securities Act.

The selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the securities offered hereby or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for such securities in the course of hedging positions they assume with the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealers or other financial institutions of the securities offered by this Prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this Prospectus, as amended or supplemented to reflect such transaction.

The selling shareholders may effect these transactions by selling the securities offered hereby directly to purchasers or to or through broker-dealers, which may act as agents or principals. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders and/or the purchasers of the securities offered hereby for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as

principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).

The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of the securities offered hereby might be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2 (11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by such broker-dealers and any profit on the resale of the securities offered hereby sold by them while acting as principals might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. The selling shareholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the securities offered hereby against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Because the selling shareholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, the selling shareholders may be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. We have informed the selling shareholders that the anti-manipulative provisions of Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), may apply to their sales in the market.

The selling shareholders also may resell all or a portion of the securities offered hereby in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that the criteria set forth in Rule 144 are fulfilled and complied with.

Upon our being notified by a selling shareholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares offered hereby through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this Prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing:

	•		the name of the selling shareholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s);

	•		the number and type of securities involved;

	•		the initial price at which such securities were sold;

	•		the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable;

	•		that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus; and

	•		other facts material to the transaction.

To the extent required, we will use our best efforts to file one or more supplements to this Prospectus to describe any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Prospectus or any material change to such information.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

The table below sets forth the following information:

	•		the name and address of the selling shareholders;

	•		the number of Common Shares beneficially owned as of July 1, 2011;

ENFORCEABILITY OF CERTAIN CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are incorporated in and organized pursuant to the laws of Bermuda. In addition, all of our directors, officers and experts named in this registration statement reside outside the United States and our material assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or to realize against them in courts of the United States upon judgments predicated upon civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws. Also, we have been advised by our legal counsel in Bermuda, Appleby, that there is doubt as to the enforcement in Bermuda, in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of United States courts, of liabilities predicated upon U.S. federal securities laws, although Bermuda Courts will enforce foreign judgments for liquidated amounts in civil matters subject to certain conditions and exceptions.

Additionally, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Taiwan would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against the Company or its directors, officers and experts named in this Prospectus predicated upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws and (ii) entertain original actions brought in Taiwan against the Company or its directors, officers and experts named in this Prospectus predicated upon the U.S. federal securities laws. Any final judgment obtained against the Company or its directors, officers and experts named in this Prospectus in any court other than a court located in Taiwan in respect of any legal suit or proceeding will be enforced by the courts of Taiwan without further review of the merits only if the Taiwan court in which enforcement is sought is satisfied that:

	•		The court rendering the judgment had jurisdiction over the subject matter according to the laws of Taiwan;

	•		The judgment and the court procedure resulting in the judgment were not contrary to the public order or good morals of Taiwan;

	•		If the judgment was rendered by default by the court rendering the judgment and (i) we or such persons were duly served within a reasonable time in the jurisdiction of such court in accordance with the laws and regulations of such jurisdiction or (ii) process was served on us or such persons with judicial assistance of Taiwan; and

	•		Judgments of the courts of Taiwan would be recognized and enforceable in the jurisdiction of the court rendering the judgment on a reciprocal basis.

A party seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in Taiwan would, except under limited circumstances, be required to obtain foreign approval from the Central Bank of China for the remittance out of Taiwan of any amounts recovered in respect of such judgment denominated in a currency other than New Taiwan Dollars.

Due to the foregoing restrictions in Bermuda and Taiwan, shareholders may encounter more difficulties in enforcing their rights and protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, the Board of Directors or controlling shareholders than they would if the Company were organized under the laws of the United States or one of the states therein, or if the Company had material assets located within the United States or some of the directors and officers were resident within the United States.

We obtained all the approvals and permits required under applicable law for the distribution of the securities and for the publication of this Prospectus. The securities are not being distributed in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Bermuda Companies Act, 1981, as amended, (the “Companies Act”) requires every officer, including directors, of a company, in exercising powers and discharging duties, to act honestly in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company, and to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. The Companies Act further provides that any provision, whether in the bye-laws of a company or in any contract between the company and any officer or any person employed by the company as auditor, exempting such officer or person from liability, or indemnifying him against any liability which by virtue of any rule of law would otherwise attach to him, in respect of any fraud or dishonesty of which he may be guilty in relation to the company, shall be void.

Our Bye-laws provide that every director, officer and committee member shall be indemnified out of our funds against all civil liabilities, loss, damage or expense including liabilities under contract, tort and statute or any applicable foreign law or regulation and all reasonable legal and other costs and expenses properly payable, incurred or suffered by him as director, officer or committee member; provided that the indemnity contained in the Bye-laws will not extend to any matter which would render it void under the Companies Act as discussed above.

Undertakings

(a)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this 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 Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

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

Provided however, that Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of 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.

II-2

(4) To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided, that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Rule 3-19 of this chapter if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.

(5) To deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report, to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

(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.

(h) 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, 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 such Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
