Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This Amendment No. 1 amends the Statement

”). This Amendment No. 1 is filed with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
“
Common Shares
”) of American Standard Energy Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “
Issuer
”)
with principal executive offices at 4800 North Scottsdale Road, Suite 1400, Scottsdale, AZ 85251.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
This Statement is being filed by and on
behalf of the Reporting Persons. Capps’s business address is 1801 West Texas, Midland, TX 79701. His present principal occupation
is business owner and the principal business at which he carries out such occupation is Geronimo, with the principal business address

On March 5, 2012, pursuant to a purchase
