INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Item 8.01. Other Events.

Apollo Gold Corporation (“we” or the “Company”) transitioned from accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (“Canadian GAAP”) to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) with the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the three years ended December 31, 2009, which report was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 17, 2010.  We are filing this Form 8-K to amend our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to reflect the Company’s transition to U.S. GAAP.  The original unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were filed on Form 10-Q on May 15, 2009 under Canadian GAAP.  We are presenting the following amended information in this Form 8-K:

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Related Notes, and
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
Except for changes related to the Company’s adoption of U.S. GAAP, this Form 8-K does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the original Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  These amended unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements supersede the Company’s original filing.
