American Power Group Corporation Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2012 Results
Quarterly Revenue Increases 64 Percent Generating a Positive 45 Percent Gross Profit -
Lynnfield, MA - August 14, 2012 - American Power Group Corporation (OTCQB: APGI), f/k/a GreenMan Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: GMTI), today announced results for the three and nine months ending June 30, 2012.
Lyle Jensen, American Power Group Corporation's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We continue to execute well on our strategy to introduce and market our dual fuel technology for applications across a diverse group of industries, including oil and gas exploration and production, industrial and heavy-duty vehicular end markets. Our increased revenues during the quarter reflect our ability to develop new partnerships and to extend our existing relationships. We are making progress on the domestic vehicular front and during the quarter we received approval from the Environmental Protection Agency for the conversion of fifty-nine Caterpillar and Detroit Diesel OUL engine families. This is a notable development as these engines are some of the most widely used on the road today. Likewise, just after the close of the quarter we announced our collaboration with EQT Corporation and Linde North America on the completion of the first dual fuel rig conversion in the Marcellus Shale. We are continuously looking for and capitalizing on new opportunities to demonstrate the relevance and effectiveness of our dual fuel technology in a wide variety of applications.”
“Last week, we announced that the Company will now be known as American Power Group Corporation and our common stock began trading under the ticker symbol 'APGI'. With our Company now one hundred percent dedicated to capitalizing on the growing demand for dual fuel options in the marketplace, we thought it made sense to align the corporate name and operations to further grow the APG brand and enhance our presence. We've made excellent progress in both the international and domestic markets to increase the use of our dual fuel technology in both vehicular and stationary applications and we believe that the economic and environmental efficiencies our technology offers, will position us well to drive continued revenue growth and shareholder value.”

Three Months ended June 30, 2012 Compared to the Three Months ended June 30, 2011
Net sales from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased $348,000 or 64 percent to $890,000 as compared to net sales of $542,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2012 was $396,000 or 45 percent of net sales as compared to gross profit of $33,000 or 6 percent of net sales for the same prior year period. During the quarter, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $45,000 or 6 percent to $695,000 as compared to $740,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Costs associated with our research and development decreased $354,000 or 90 percent to $39,000 during the third quarter of 2012 as compared to $393,000 for the third quarter of 2011. We reduced our operating loss from continuing operations during the quarter to $338,000 as compared to an operating loss from continuing operations of $1,100,000 in the same quarter last year.



During the three months ended June 30, 2012, interest and financing expense increased $1,203,000 to $1,438,000 as compared to $232,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was related to increased borrowings, the accelerated non-cash amortization of financings costs ($749,000), and additional incentive conversion expense ($582,000) relating to convertible debentures converted during the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $1,807,000 or $(0.28) per basic share as compared to $1,228,000 or $(0.04) per basic share for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The calculation of net loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2012 reflects the inclusion of a $137,000 Convertible Preferred Stock quarterly dividend and a non-cash beneficial conversion feature of $9,748,000 associated with the issuance of the Convertible Preferred Stock on April 30, 2012.

Nine Months ended June 30, 2012 Compared to the Nine Months ended June 30, 2011
For the nine months ended June 30, 2012, net sales from continuing operations increased $438,000 or 31 percent to $1,858,000 as compared to net sales of $1,420,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. Gross profit was $501,000 or 27 percent of net sales for the first nine months of 2012, as compared to a negative gross profit of $82,000 for the first nine months of 2011. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $307,000 or 13 percent to $2,069,000 as compared to $2,376,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. Costs associated with our research and development decreased $769,000 or 85 percent to $138,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $907,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. The company reduced its operating loss from continuing operations in the first nine months of 2012 to $1,706,000 as compared to an operating loss from continuing operations of $3,515,000 in the first nine months of 2011.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, interest and financing expense increased $1,725,000 to $2,218,000 as compared to $493,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable increased borrowings, the accelerated non-cash amortization of financings costs ($749,000), and additional incentive conversion expense ($582,000) relating to convertible debentures converted during the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Our net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 was $4,060,000 or $(0.37) per basic share as compared to $5,019,000 or $(0.15) per basic share for the nine months ended June 30, 2011.

About American Power Group Corporation
American Power Group's alternative energy subsidiary, American Power Group, Inc., provides a cost-effective patented Turbocharged Natural Gas™ conversion technology for aftermarket vehicular, stationary and off road mobile diesel engines. American Power Group's dual fuel technology is a unique non-invasive energy enhancement system that converts existing diesel engines into more efficient and environmentally friendly engines that have the flexibility to run on: (1) diesel fuel and liquefied natural gas; (2) diesel fuel and compressed natural gas; (3) diesel fuel and pipeline or well-head gas; and (4) diesel fuel and bio-methane, with the flexibility to return to 100% diesel fuel operation at any time. The proprietary technology seamlessly displaces up to 80% of the normal diesel fuel consumption with the average displacement ranging from 40% to 65%. The energized fuel balance is maintained with a proprietary read-only electronic controller system ensuring the engines operate at original equipment manufacturers' specified temperatures and pressures. Installation on a wide variety of engine models and end-market applications require no engine modifications unlike the more expensive invasive fuel-injected systems in the market.
