EXPLANATORY NOTE

On December 5, 2011, United American Petroleum Corp., a Nevada corporation, (the “Registrant”), filed its Current Report on Form 8-K (“Original Report”) in connection with the completion on November 30, 2011 of the acquisition of a 100% working interest in the McKenzie State Well No. 1 oil and gas lease (the “McKenzie Well”) located in Pecos County, Texas (the “Acquisition”).  The Registrant initially specified in Item 9.01(a) of the Original Report that the Registrant intended to file financial statements and any pro forma financial information regarding the Acquisition by an amendment to the Original Report no later than 71 calendar days after the date the Original Report was filed. The Registrant has determined that the Acquisition is an asset acquisition and not a business acquisition pursuant to Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X due to the fact that the McKenzie Well was not producing at the time of the Acquisition and any production that occurred in the past two years prior to the Acquisition has been de minimis and inconsistent.  Therefore financial statements and any pro forma financial information regarding the Acquisition are not required.  This Amendment No. 1 to the Original Report removes Item 9.01(a) from the Original Report and amends Item 2.01 to disclose that the McKenzie Well was not producing at the time of the Acquisition.  No other modifications to the Original Report are being made by this Amendment No. 1.

Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Note and Warrant

On November 29, 2011, United American Petroleum Corp. (the “Registrant”) borrowed an additional Five Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($550,000) from an investor (the “Investor”) pursuant to the original Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with the Investor dated October 14, 2011.  The Registrant issued a convertible promissory note to the Investor in the amount of Five Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($550,000) (“Note”).  The Note is due on October 14, 2014, or upon default, whichever is earlier, and bears interest at the annual rate of 10%.  This brief description of the Note is only a summary that discloses material terms of the Note and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note as attached in Exhibit 10.1 to this report.  In connection with the Note, the Investor also received warrants to purchase five hundred fifty thousand (550,000) shares of the Registrant’s common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share (“Warrants”).  The Warrants expire five years from the date of the investment.  This brief description of the Warrants is only a summary that discloses material terms of the Warrants and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Warrants as attached in Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report.

The Note and Warrants were issued to the Investor in a transaction which the Registrant believes satisfies the requirements of that exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”), which exemption is specified by the provisions of Regulation S promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Purchase Agreement

On November 30, 2011, the Registrant entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with McKenzie Oil Corp. (“McKenzie”), pursuant to which the Registrant acquired one hundred percent (100%) of McKenzie’s working interest in what is designated as the McKenzie State Well No. 1, located in Pecos County, Texas, in exchange for an aggregate cash sum of Five Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($550,000) and fifty thousand (50,000) shares of the Registrant’s common stock (the “Shares”).  This brief description of the Purchase Agreement is only a summary that discloses material terms of the Purchase Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement as attached in Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report.

The Shares were issued to McKenzie in a transaction which the Registrant believes satisfies the requirements of that exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, which exemption is specified by the provisions of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
