PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS This annual report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled "Risk Factors", that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results. Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to "common shares" refer to the common shares in our capital stock. As used in this annual report, the terms "we", "us", "our", and "company" mean First American Silver Corp., unless the context clearly requires or states otherwise. CORPORATE OVERVIEW We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The address of our principal executive office is located at 10597 Double R Blvd, Suite 2, Reno, Nevada, 89521. Our telephone number is (775) 323-3278. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "FASV". CORPORATE HISTORY We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 29, 2008, under the name "Mayetok, Inc.". As Mayetok, Inc. we were engaged in the development of a website to market vacation properties in the Ukraine. On June 8, 2010, we initiated a one (1) old for 35 new forward stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital increased from 100,000,000 to 3,500,000,000 shares of common stock and the issued and outstanding increased from 2,200,000 shares of common stock to 77,000,000 shares of common stock, all with a par value of $0.001. Also on June 8, 2010, we changed our name from "Mayetok, Inc." to "First American Silver Corp.", by way of a merger with our wholly owned subsidiary First American Silver Corp., which was formed solely for the change of name. We changed the name of our company to reflect the new direction of our company in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties. As of June, 2010, we had abandoned our former business plan of seeking to market vacation properties. Our name change and forward stock split becomes effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening of trading on June 16, 2010, on which date we adopted the new stock symbol "FASV". 3
OUR CURRENT BUSINESS On November 26, 2010 we entered into three option agreements with All American Resources LLC for the acquisition of certain mineral property interests located in Elko County and White Pine County, Nevada. The interests that we have acquired are as follows: * An option to acquire a 100% interest in a mineral exploration property called the "Eagan Canyon" property in White Pine County, Nevada; * An option to acquire a 100% interest in a mineral exploration property called the "Muncy Creek" property in White Pine County, Nevada; and * An option to acquire a 100% interest in a mineral exploration property called the "Mountain City" property in Elko County, Nevada. Pursuant to the above described option agreements, we may, at our option, purchase any of the applicable properties by providing to All American Resources LLC the following compensation in respect of each applicable property over the nine year option term: * making annual periodic payments in the aggregate amount of $180,000 ranging from $10,000 to $50,000; * issuing to All American Resources 300,000 common shares in our capital stock in the aggregate, with 100,000 shares issuable before the 1st anniversary of the option agreement and 25,000 shares issuable each year thereafter until the ninth anniversary of the option agreement; and * on or before the tenth anniversary of the option agreement either (i) paying to All American Resources $1,000,000, in which case All American Resources shall retain a two percent (2%) mineral production royalty; or (ii) paying to All American Resources $2,000,000, in which case All American Resources shall retain a one percent (1%) mineral production royalty. To date, we have issued 375,000 shares of our common stock and paid $30,000 in the aggregate to All American Resources LLC pursuant to the three mineral property option agreement. On April 15, 2011, we entered into a mining lease and option to purchase agreement with Pyramid Lake LLC and Anthony A. Longo, on an ongoing basis expiring April 15, 2031 with respect to the Mount Jackson Project located in Esmeralda County, Nevada, wherein the owners will retain a production royalty of 3% of the net smelter returns. Pursuant to the lease and option agreement, we are required to make the following payments: Payment Payment Date Amount ($) ------------ ---------- April 15, 2011 30,000 (paid) April 15, 2012 40,000 April 15, 2013 50,000 April 15, 2014 60,000 April 15, 2015 70,000 April 15, 2016 80,000 April 15, 2017 90,000 April 15, 2018 100,000 April 15, 2019 - April 15, 2031 100,000* ---------- * Commencing April 15, 2019, the amount of payments will be increased (and never decreased) for inflation. 4
In addition to the payments described above we issued an aggregate 100,000 shares of our common stock, pursuant to the terms of the lease and option agreement. On September 22, 2011, we entered into a License and Assignment Agreement dated and effective as of September 16, 2011 with our president and director, Thomas J. Menning. Mr. Menning is the successor in interest of the rights of Universal Gas, Inc. and Universal Exploration, Ltd. (together "Universal") pursuant to an agreement among Universal, Bullion Monarch Company, Polar Resources Co., Camsell River Investments, Ltd., Lameert Management Ltd., and Etel Holdings Ltd. dated May 10, 1979 (the "1979 Agreement"). Pursuant to the License Agreement, we have acquired the rights and obligations of Universal established by the 1979 Agreement and pertaining to 256-square-miles of the Carlin Gold Trend in Elko County, Nevada. Under the terms of the 1979 Agreement and the License Agreement, we will now be deemed the successor of a specific Right to Participate on a 50 percent basis with ongoing and future projects operated, controlled and/or conveyed by Newmont Mining and Barrick Gold Corporation within the area of interest. Under the terms of the License Agreement, we will finance the cost of pursuing the rights established in the 1979 Agreement. The distribution of any proceeds will be as follows: After First American has been reimbursed for any and all out-of-pocket expenses, it will share proceeds on an 80/20 percent basis with Mr. Menning. The term of the licensing agreement will be for 10 years with an option to renew for an additional 10 years. Under the terms of the agreement, a notification of assignment to the operator is required. Both Newmont Mining and Barrick Gold Corp. have been notified. COMPETITION We are a development stage mineral resource exploration company. We compete with other mineral resource exploration companies for financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties. Many of the mineral resource exploration companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties. In addition, they may be able to afford more geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration. This competition could adversely impact on our ability to finance further exploration and to achieve the financing necessary for us to develop our mineral properties. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATION We are committed to complying with and are, to our knowledge, in compliance with, all governmental and environmental regulations applicable to our company and our properties. Permits from a variety of regulatory authorities are required for many aspects of mine operation and reclamation. We cannot predict the extent to which these requirements will affect our company or our properties if we identify the existence of minerals in commercially exploitable quantities. In addition, future legislation and regulation could cause additional expense, capital expenditure, restrictions and delays in the exploration of our properties. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT We have not incurred any research and development expenditures over the past two fiscal years. PURCHASE OF SIGNIFICANT EQUIPMENT We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment over the twelve months ending November 30, 2012. 5
SUBSIDIARIES We do not have any subsidiaries. CORPORATE OFFICES Our principal office is located at 10597 Double R Blvd, Suite 2, Reno, Nevada, 89521. Our office space is leased to us at a cost of $1925.00 per month. The office space is currently leased from a third party witch has no affiliation with our company. Additionally, part of the office space is sublet to an unaffiliated third party at the rate of $500.00 per month. We believe that this space is sufficient to meet our present needs and do not anticipate any difficulty in securing alternative or additional space, as needed, on terms acceptable to us. EMPLOYEES We have no employees other than our management who devote 90 percent of their time to the business and there are no employment contracts. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Other than the registered internet name, www.firstamericansilver.com which we own and operate, we do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark, and have not registered any rights we may have under copyright. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES Common Stock Our authorized capital stock consists of 3,500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MINING OUR PROPERTIES ARE IN THE EXPLORATION STAGE AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT WE CAN ESTABLISH THE EXISTENCE OF ANY MINERAL RESOURCE ON OUR PROPERTIES IN COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITIES. UNLESS WE ESTABLISH THE PRESENCE OF A COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE MINERAL RESOURCE, WE CANNOT EARN ANY REVENUES FROM OPERATIONS AND, IF WE FAIL TO DO SO, WE WILL LOSE ALL OF THE FUNDS THAT WE MAY EXPEND ON EXPLORATION. IF WE DO NOT DISCOVER ANY MINERAL RESOURCE IN A COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITY, OUR BUSINESS COULD FAIL. We have not conducted any exploration work on our mineral properties and have not established that they contain any mineral reserve. Even if we successfully carry out a program of exploration on our mineral properties, we may fail to establish that any of our properties contain any mineral reserve, which could result in the failure of our business. A mineral reserve is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7 (which can be viewed over the Internet at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/forms/industry.htm#secguide7) as that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The probability of an individual prospect ever having a "reserve" that meets the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Industry Guide 7 is extremely remote. In all probability our mineral resource properties do not contain any 'reserve' and any funds that we spend on exploration will probably be lost. Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on our properties, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop any of our properties into a producing mine and extract those resources. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on a number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and other attributes of the mineral deposit, the proximity of the resource to infrastructure such as a smelter, roads and a point for shipping, government regulation and market prices. Most of these factors will be beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral resource unprofitable. MINERAL OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW AND GOVERNMENT REGULATION. EVEN IF WE DISCOVER A MINERAL RESOURCE IN A COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITY, THESE LAWS AND REGULATIONS COULD RESTRICT OR PROHIBIT THE EXPLOITATION OF THAT MINERAL RESOURCE. IF WE CANNOT EXPLOIT ANY MINERAL RESOURCE THAT WE MIGHT DISCOVER ON OUR PROPERTIES, OUR BUSINESS MAY FAIL. Both mineral exploration and extraction require permits from various, federal, provincial, and local governmental authorities and are governed by laws and regulations, including those with respect to prospecting, mine development, 7
mineral production, transport, export, taxation, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. We have yet to undertake any exploration activities on any of our properties, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain any of the permits required for the exploration of our mineral properties or for the construction and operation of a mine on our properties on reasonable terms or at economically viable costs. If we cannot accomplish these objectives, our business could fail. IF WE ESTABLISH THE EXISTENCE OF A MINERAL RESOURCE ON OUR PROPERTIES IN A COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITY, WE WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IN ORDER TO DEVELOP THE APPLICABLE PROPERTIES INTO A PRODUCING MINE. IF WE CANNOT RAISE THIS ADDITIONAL CAPITAL, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXPLOIT THE RESOURCE, AND OUR BUSINESS COULD FAIL. If we do discover mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities on our properties, we will be required to expend substantial sums of money to establish the extent of the resource, develop processes to extract it and develop extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure. Although we may derive substantial benefits from the discovery of a major deposit, there can be no assurance that any discovered resource will be large enough to justify commercial operations, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to raise the funds required for development on a timely basis. If we cannot raise the necessary capital or complete the necessary facilities and infrastructure, our business may fail. MINERAL EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT IS SUBJECT TO EXTRAORDINARY OPERATING RISKS. WE MAY NOT INSURE AGAINST THESE RISKS. IN THE EVENT OF A CAVE-IN OR SIMILAR OCCURRENCE, OUR LIABILITY MAY EXCEED OUR RESOURCES, WHICH WOULD HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR COMPANY. Mineral exploration, development and production involve many risks which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Our future operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks inherent in the exploration for mineral resources and, if we discover a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantity, our operations could be subject to all of the hazards and risks inherent in the development and production of resources, including liability for pollution, cave-ins or similar hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. Any such event could result in physical injury or death, work stoppages, and damage to property, including damage to the environment. We do not currently maintain any insurance coverage against these operating hazards and may not have sufficient financial resources to obtain such insurance coverage when it becomes advisable or required. The payment of any liabilities that arise from the occurrence of any operating hazard against which we do not maintain insurance coverage would have a material adverse impact on our company. MINERAL PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO DRAMATIC AND UNPREDICTABLE FLUCTUATIONS. We aim to derive revenues either from the sale of our mineral resource properties or from the extraction and sale of ore. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of base and precious metals, and therefore the economic viability of any of our exploration properties and projects, cannot accurately be predicted. THE MINING INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN ACQUIRING ANY MINERAL CLAIMS. IF WE CANNOT ACQUIRE PROPERTIES TO EXPLORE FOR MINERAL RESOURCES, WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO REDUCE OR CEASE OPERATIONS. The mineral exploration, development, and production industry is largely un-integrated. We compete with other exploration companies looking for mineral resource properties. While we compete with other exploration companies in the effort to locate and acquire mineral resource properties, we will not compete with them for the removal or sales of mineral products from our properties if we should eventually discover the presence of them in quantities sufficient to make production economically feasible. Readily accessible and liquid markets exist worldwide for the sale of mineral products. Therefore, we will likely be able to sell any mineral products that we identify and produce. 8
In identifying and acquiring additional mineral resource properties, we will compete with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities. This competition could adversely affect our ability to acquire suitable prospects for exploration in the future. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will acquire any interest in additional mineral resource properties that might yield reserves or result in commercial mining operations. RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY THE FACT THAT WE HAVE NOT EARNED ANY OPERATING REVENUES SINCE OUR INCORPORATION RAISES SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO EXPLORE OUR MINERAL PROPERTIES AS A GOING CONCERN. We have not generated any revenue from operations since our incorporation and we anticipate that we will continue to incur operating expenses without revenues unless and until we are able to identify a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity on our mineral property and we build and operate a mine. We had cash in the amount of $33,850 as of November 30, 2011 and working capital of $47,894. We have also incurred a cumulative net loss of $613,105 from our inception on April 29, 2008 through November 30, 2011. We estimate that our average monthly operating expenses will be approximately $35,000, including anticipated exploration costs, management services and administrative costs. Should the results of our planned exploration require us to increase our current operating budget, we may have to raise additional funds to meet our currently budgeted operating requirements for the next 12 months. As we cannot assure a lender that we will be able to successfully explore and develop our mineral property, we will probably find it difficult to raise debt financing from traditional lending sources. We have in the past raised our operating capital from sales of equity securities, but there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to do so. If we cannot raise the money that we need to continue exploration of our mineral property, we may be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate our exploration activities. If any of these were to occur, there is a substantial risk that our business would fail. These circumstances lead our independent registered public accounting firm, in their report dated February 12, 2012, to comment about our company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to seek additional capital through a private placement of its capital stock. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our company's ability to continue as a going concern. Although there are no assurances that management's plans will be realized, management believes that our company will be able to continue operations in the future. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event our company cannot continue in existence." We continue to experience net operating losses. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMMON STOCK TRADING ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD MAY BE VOLATILE AND SPORADIC, WHICH COULD DEPRESS THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR OUR STOCKHOLDERS TO RESELL THEIR SHARES. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board service of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like Nasdaq or a stock exchange like the American Stock Exchange. Accordingly, our shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares. OUR STOCK IS A PENNY STOCK. TRADING OF OUR STOCK MAY BE RESTRICTED BY THE SEC'S PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS AND FINRA'S SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS, WHICH MAY LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER'S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK. Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established 9
customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock. In addition to the "penny stock" rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock. TRENDS, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common shares. ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS As a "smaller reporting company", we are not required to provide the information required by this Item. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Our principal office is located at 10597 Double R Blvd, Suite 2, Reno, Nevada, 89521. Our office space is leased to us at a cost of $1925.00 per month. The office space is currently leased from a third party witch has no affiliation with the company. Additionally, part of the office space is sublet to an unaffiliated third party at the rate of $500.00 per month. We believe that this space is sufficient to meet our present needs and do not anticipate any difficulty in securing alternative or additional space, as needed, on terms acceptable to us. DESCRIPTION OF MINERAL PROPERTIES MOUNTAIN CITY PROPERTY The Mountain City Property is located in north-eastern Nevada, northern Elko County, It is situated about 0.5 miles (0.8 km) north from the town of Mountain City and ten miles from the border with the state of Idaho in what is known as the Cope Mining District. These claims are located in Section 36, Township 46 North, Range 53 East. Other historic mining properties are present in the vicinity including the Rio Tinto copper-gold mine, a historic producer located one mile (1.6km) to the southeast. 10
The property consists of three contiguous patented mining claims totaling approximately 40 acres (16 ha) surrounded by 22 unpatented mining claims covering 400 acres (162 ha) for a total of 440 acres (178 ha). These fall within the Humboldt National Forest which is administered by the U.S. Forest Service. The patented claims are considered private land, whereas the unpatented claims require an annual maintenance fee and filing with the Bureau of Land Management as well an annual filing and fee to the county. The mineralization present within the Mountain City Property consists of silver and gold-bearing quartz veins hosted in a coarse-grained quartz monzonite intrusive. Several parallel, northeast trending quartz veins are present within the property. Several prospect cuts along these veins define the trend of the veins, and reveal milky, glassy quartz up to 4 feet (1.3m) wide. The veins often contain coarse sulfide minerals, including pyrite, sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite. Past sampling of these veins indicate gold values up to 6.8 ppm and silver up to 84.9 ounces per ton (opt). The association of anomalous base metal values with the precious metals indicates a mesothermal vein system. The vein density will be an important aspect of the property potential. As many of the veins are covered, the number of veins present will be important to determine in the evaluation of the economic potential of the property. This can be best done by additional trenching and drilling of the veins. A grid soil sampling survey program was completed over the property but the results of this are not presently available. These results should aid in the definition of other precious metal bearing quartz vein not obvious at the surface. EGAN CANYON PROPERTY The Egan Canyon Property is located in east-central Nevada approximately 3.5 miles southwest of the small town of Cherry Creek, White Pine County. It is situated along the steep sided Egan Canyon at elevations up to 7000 feet (2300m) in Section 14, Township 23 North, Range 62 East. The patented claims are within the Cherry Creek mining district, at the northern end of the Egan Range. The surrounding land is federal land administered by the Bureau of Land Management The property is composed of four contiguous patented mining claims comprising a total of 68 acres (27.5 ha). There are no unpatented claims associated with these patents. The mine area is part of the historic Cherry Creek Mining district where gold in quartz veins were discovered in 1863. A number of large mine dumps from a series of adits and shafts are present in the Egan Canyon property. While no outcropping quartz veins are exposed on the talus and debris covered surface, the large amount of quartz in the mine dumps and float suggest a north-south trending vein or vein system was developed in the old workings. Quartz float and dump material show a variety of textures including quartz stockwork veining. Limited sampling of the dump material and float show gold values up to 25.4 ppm and silver values to 6.04 ounces per ton. Sparse outcrops show the vein system likely follows a sheared and foliated contact between a light-colored felsic intrusive and a darker diorite intrusive. A green shale is apparently wedged along this contact. High precious metals values in the dump material with the limited exposures leads to the suggestion that there is unknown potential for defining a significant resource on the property. Additional work including soil and ground geophysical surveys may outline potential targets. MUNCY CREEK PROPERTY The Muncy Creek Property is located in east-central Nevada along the east flank of the Schell Creek Range, in Sections 7 and 8, Township 20 North, Range 66 East, White Pine County. The nearest town is Ely, located roughly 40 miles line-of sight to the property. The property consists of seven contiguous patented mining claims covering a total of 110 combined acres (44.5 ha) located within surrounding Humboldt National Forest. The Muncy Creek property falls in the Aurum mining district. The Muncy Creek sub-district which the property is within reportedly produced much of the high-grade, oxidized lead, zinc and silver ores from deeply oxidized solution cavities developed in limestone formations from the district. The reported local association of syenitic dike rocks with skarn mineral development in the district suggests the oxidized mineralization was likely originally sulfide replacement mineralization associated with these intrusive bodies. There is not much in the way of descriptions of the property itself, although a few recent assays from the mine dumps on the property show high lead, zinc, manganese and silver values with anomalous copper. These high values are consistent with a skarn-replacement style of mineralization. With these high silver and base metals values from the property, further investigation of the property to determine the nature and extent of the mineralization is warranted. 11
MOUNT JACKSON PROJECT The Mount Jackson project is located in southwestern Nevada approximately 225 kilometres northwest of Las Vegas, and 25 kilometres southwest of the small town of Goldfield. Goldfield is the seat of Esmeralda County, and is a small historically significant mining community on Highway 95. The project is located at the western end of the Cuprite District, and consists of 154 claims totaling approximately 3080 acres (1246 hectares) covering a number of old workings. All of these claims are registered in the names of Anthony Longo and Pyramid Lake LLC and are optioned to First American Silver Corporation. All claims were acquired in 2011. The project is located within the Walker Lane disturbed belt to the south of Goldfield Caldera. It is underlain by predominately felsic Cenozic volcanic rocks and Cambrian sediments, including the Harkless siltstones and the Emigrant Formation limestones as depicted on the United States Geological Survey Map MF-298, 1972. A dark drusy or vuggy jasperoidal type quartz has been noted to occur in various locations on the property below and proximal to a possible thrust contact between the Harkless formation and the overlying Emigrant limestones. Mineralization is found on the surface along the crest of an antiform near the faulted contact of Harkless sediments and overlying Emigrant limestones. The gold and silver mineralization discovered to date is associated with this siliceous horizon. No mineralogical studies are known at this time, however it appears that the precious metals are associated with finely disseminated sulphides. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA As a "smaller reporting company", we are not required to provide the information required by this Item. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the years ended November 30, 2011 and November 30, 2010 that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that 13
could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report, particularly in the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 8 of this annual report. Our audited consolidated financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. CASH REQUIREMENTS We intend to conduct exploration activities on our optioned properties during the next twelve months. We estimate our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next twelve months to be as follows: Expense Cost ------- -------- General and administrative expenses $ 45,000 Management and administrative costs $ 60,000 Legal Fees $ 15,000 Exploration expenses $250,000 Option payment expenses $ 30,000 Auditor Fees $ 10,000 -------- $410,000 ======== Of the $410,000 that we require for the next 12 months, we have $33,850 in cash as of November 30, 2011, and a working capital of $47,894. In order to improve our liquidity, we plan pursue additional equity financing from private investors or possibly a registered public offering. We do not currently have any definitive arrangements in place for the completion of any further private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any further private placement financings. If we are unable to achieve the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our business activities and administrative expenses in order to be within the amount of capital resources that are available to us. PURCHASE OF SIGNIFICANT EQUIPMENT We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment over the twelve months ending November 30, 2012. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT We have not expended any funds on research and development since inception and we do not intend to allocate any funds to research and development over the twelve months ending November 30, 2012. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2011. The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2011. Our operating results for the year ended November 30, 2011 are summarized as follows in comparison to our operating results for the same period ended November 30, 2010: Year Ended November 30, 2011 2010 -------- -------- Revenue $ Nil $ Nil Operating Expenses $ 537,359 $ 45,762 Net Loss $(537,359) $(45,762) 14
REVENUE We have not earned any revenues since our inception and we do not anticipate earning revenues in the near future. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Our general and administrative expenses for the year ended November 30, 2011 are outlined in the table below in comparison to our general and administrative expenses for the same period ended November 30, 2010: Year Ended November 30, 2011 2010 -------- -------- Accounting and legal $ 83,437 $ 25,574 Exploration costs $111,182 $ Nil Consulting fees $ 54,146 $ Nil Impairment of mineral properties $197,336 $ Nil Transfer agent and filing fees $ 6,108 $ 1,810 Miscellaneous fees $ Nil $ 3,198 General and administrative $ 85,150 $ 15,000 The increase in accounting and legal expenses for the year ended November 30, 2011, compared to the same period in fiscal 2010, was mainly due to to increased activity related to the acquisition and maintenance of our mineral properties. LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION WORKING CAPITAL At At November 30, November 30, Percentage 2011 2010 Increase/Decrease -------- -------- ----------------- Current Assets $ 84,514 $238,205 (65)% Current Liabilities $ 36,620 $ 43,951 (17)% Working Capital $ 47,894 $194,254 (75)% CASH FLOWS At At November 30, November 30, 2011 2010 ---------- ---------- Net cash from (used in) operations $ (330,267) $ 7,689 Net cash (used in) investing activities $ (224,088) $ (30,000) Net cash provided by financing activities $ 350,000 $ 250,000 Increase (Decrease) In Cash During The Period $ (204,355) $ 227,689 We had cash in the amount of $33,850 as of November 30, 2011 as compared to $238,205 as of November 30, 2010. We had working capital of $47,894 as of November 30, 2011 compared to working capital of $194,254 as of November 30, 2010. We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise any further financing. 15
FUTURE FINANCINGS We will require additional funds to implement our growth strategy for our new business. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis should it be required, or generate significant material revenues from operations, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS As a "smaller reporting company", we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations. GOING CONCERN We have suffered recurring losses from operations and are dependent on our ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. In their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2011, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosure describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements. EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to accounting and reporting by exploration-stage companies. An exploration-stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars. 16
ACCOUNTING BASIS We use the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP" accounting). We adopted a November 30 fiscal year end. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At November 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, we had $33,850 and $238,205 of unrestricted cash to be used for future business operations. Our bank accounts are deposited in insured institutions. The funds are insured up to $250,000. At times, our bank deposits may exceed the insured amount. Management believes it has little risk related to the excess deposits. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Our financial instruments consist of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued professional fees, and amount due to a related party. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to either length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK Our company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. Our company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Our company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION We account for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of ASC Topic 718, COMPENSATION - STOCK COMPENSATION which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. There has been no stock-based compensation issued to employees. We follow ASC Topic 505-50, formerly EITF 96-18, "ACCOUNTING FOR EQUITY INSTRUMENTS THAT ARE ISSUED TO OTHER THAN EMPLOYEES FOR ACQUIRING, OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH SELLING GOODS AND SERVICES," for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees. In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered. We issued 300,000 options to consultants in the current fiscal year. INCOME TAXES Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. It is our company's policy to classify interest and penalties on income taxes as interest expense or penalties expense. As of November 30, 2011, there have been no interest or penalties incurred on income taxes. 17
USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. REVENUE RECOGNITION We are in the exploration stage and have yet to realize revenues from operations. Once our company has commenced operations, it will recognize revenues when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is probable. BASIC INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing our company's net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Common share equivalents totalling 2,300,000 at November 30, 2011, representing outstanding warrants and options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended November 30, 2011, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Common share equivalents totalling 1,000,000 at November 30, 2010, representing outstanding warrants were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended November 30, 2010, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. On June 8, 2010, we affected a 35:1 forward stock split of its common shares. All share and per share data have been adjusted to reflect such stock split. DIVIDENDS We have not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during the periods shown. MINERAL PROPERTIES Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized including licenses and lease payments. Although we have taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee our company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects. Impairment losses will be recorded on mineral properties used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. In accordance with ASC 360-10-35-17, an impairment loss will be recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. That assessment shall be based on the carrying amount of the asset at the date it is tested for recoverability, whether in use or under development. An impairment loss shall be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Impairment losses totalling $197,336 were recorded in 2011 relating to three unproven properties. No impairment losses were recorded in 2010. 18
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Our company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Reno, Nevada We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of First American Silver Corp. (the "Company") as of November 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from April 29, 2008 (inception) through November 30, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First American Silver Corp. as of November 30, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and the period from April 29, 2008 (inception) through November 30, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 13 to the financial statements, the Company has limited working capital, has not yet received revenue from sales of products or services, and has incurred losses from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 13. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ Silberstein Ungar, PLLC ----------------------------------- Bingham Farms, Michigan February 23, 2012 21

FIRST AMERICAN SILVER CORP. (AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOVEMBER 30, 2011 NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS Mayetok, Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 29, 2008. On June 8, 2010, the Company changed its name to First American Silver Corp. In October 2010, the Company entered into Property Option Agreements to acquire 100% interests in three mineral properties located in Nevada. On April 15, 2011 the Company entered into a Property Option Agreement with Pyramid Lake LLC and Anthony A. Longo to acquire a 100% interest in the Esmeralda Property, also located in Nevada. These properties have been acquired for prospecting, exploration and production of gold, silver, and all other metals. Development and exploration activities are currently being undertaken. NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to accounting and reporting by exploration-stage companies. An exploration-stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars. ACCOUNTING BASIS The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP" accounting). The Company has adopted a November 30 fiscal year end. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At November 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, the Company had $33,850 and $238,205 of unrestricted cash to be used for future business operations The Company's bank accounts are deposited in insured institutions. The funds are insured up to $250,000. At times, the Company's bank deposits may exceed the insured amount. Management believes it has little risk related to the excess deposits. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued professional fees, and amount due to a related party. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to either length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements. 26
FIRST AMERICAN SILVER CORP. (AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOVEMBER 30, 2011 NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of ASC Topic 718, COMPENSATION - STOCK COMPENSATION which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. There has been no stock-based compensation issued to employees. The Company follows ASC Topic 505-50, formerly EITF 96-18, "ACCOUNTING FOR EQUITY INSTRUMENTS THAT ARE ISSUED TO OTHER THAN EMPLOYEES FOR ACQUIRING, OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH SELLING GOODS AND SERVICES," for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees. In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered. The Company issued 300,000 options to consultants in the current fiscal year. INCOME TAXES Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. It is the Company's policy to classify interest and penalties on income taxes as interest expense or penalties expense. As of November 30, 2011, there have been no interest or penalties incurred on income taxes. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company is in the exploration stage and has yet to realize revenues from operations. Once the Company has commenced operations, it will recognize revenues when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is probable. 27
FIRST AMERICAN SILVER CORP. (AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOVEMBER 30, 2011 NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) BASIC INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Common share equivalents totalling 2,300,000 at November 30, 2011, representing outstanding warrants and options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended November 30, 2011, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Common share equivalents totalling 1,000,000 at November 30, 2010, representing outstanding warrants were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended November 30, 2010, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. On June 8, 2010, the Company affected a 35:1 forward stock split of its common shares. All share and per share data have been adjusted to reflect such stock split. DIVIDENDS The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during the periods shown. MINERAL PROPERTIES Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized including licenses and lease payments. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects. Impairment losses will be recorded on mineral properties used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. In accordance with ASC 360-10-35-17, an impairment loss will be recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. That assessment shall be based on the carrying amount of the asset at the date it is tested for recoverability, whether in use or under development. An impairment loss shall be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Impairment losses totalling $197,336 were recorded in 2011 relating to three unproven properties. No impairment losses were recorded in 2010. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS First American Silver does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. 28

FIRST AMERICAN SILVER CORP. (AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOVEMBER 30, 2011 NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES For the years ended November 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company has incurred net losses and, therefore, has no tax liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is $613,105 at November 30, 2011, and will begin to expire in the year 2028. The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following as of November 30, 2011 and 2010: 2011 2010 ---------- ---------- Federal income tax attributable to: Current operations $ 182,702 $ 15,559 Less: valuation allowance (182,702) (15,559) ---------- ---------- Net provision for Federal income taxes $ 0 $ 0 ========== ========== The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows as of November 30, 2011 and 2010: 2011 2010 ---------- ---------- Deferred tax asset attributable to: Net operating loss carryover $ 208,456 $ 25,754 Less: valuation allowance (208,456) (25,754) ---------- ---------- Net deferred tax asset $ 0 $ 0 ========== ========== Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years. NOTE 13 - GOING CONCERN The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. The Company has no established source of revenue. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty. The Company's activities to date have been supported by equity financing. It has sustained losses in all previous reporting periods with an inception to date loss of $613,105 as of November 30, 2011. Management continues to seek funding from its shareholders and other qualified investors. 34

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE There were no disagreements with our accountants related to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, internal controls or auditing scope or procedure during the two fiscal years and subsequent interim periods. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information disclosed in the reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our president (our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, including our president (our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of November 30, 2011, in accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended are effective to ensure the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in SEC rules and forms. Our management, including our president (our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer), do not expect that our disclosure controls, and procedures or internal controls will prevent all possible error and fraud. Our disclosure controls and procedures are, however, designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our president (our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer) have concluded that our financial controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of internal control include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2011. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in INTERNAL CONTROL-INTEGRATED FRAMEWORK. Our management has concluded that, as of November 30, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting was effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. Our management reviewed the results of their assessment with our Board of Directors. This annual report does not include an attestation report of our company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit our company to provide only management's report in this annual report. 37
INHERENT LIMITATIONS ON EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended November 30, 2011 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION None. PART III ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE The following individuals serve as the directors and executive officers of our company as of the date of this annual report. All directors of our company hold office until the next annual meeting of our shareholders or until their successors have been elected and qualified. The executive officers of our company are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until their death, resignation or removal from office. Position Held Date First Elected Name with the Company Age or Appointed ---- ---------------- --- ------------ Thomas Menning President, Chief Financial 60 March 2, 2011 Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Director Robert Suda Director 60 May 4, 2010 BUSINESS EXPERIENCE The following is a brief account of the education and business experience during at least the past five years of each director, executive officer and key employee of our company, indicating the person's principal occupation during that period, and the name and principal business of the organization in which such occupation and employment were carried out. 38
THOMAS MENNING - PRESIDENT, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, SECRETARY, TREASURER AND DIRECTOR Mr. Menning has been semi retired for the last eleven years. However, during this time, he did start up two new ventures involved in the mining industry. Canadian American Mining Company, LLC, incorporated on October 25, 1999 and All American Resources LLC, incorporated on May 15, 2011. Since their inception, Mr. Menning has served as the managing partner for both entities and continues to do so to this day. Canadian American Mining Company, LLC was formed for the purpose of holding various long and short-term investments. The company has never had any employees and its' revenues have been driven by mining royalty income, the sale of securities and the sale of real estate assets. All American Resources, LLC was formed for the purpose of acquiring distressed real estate primarily in the State of Nevada. Over time the company has acquired many undeveloped properties, patented mining claims and invested in publicly traded mining companies (primarily through private placements). ROBERT SUDA - VICE PRESIDENT, EXPLORATION AND DIRECTOR Robert Suda has 34 years of exploration experience including 15 years with Cominco American in U.S. Exploration as a senior geologist. He built and led the initial exploration organization at the Pend Oreille mine in Washington, which led to an expansion of the reserves and ultimately to the discovery of the Washington Rock ore body. He was also directly associated with the discovery of a gold deposit in Nevada that was sold by Teck Cominco, but eventually mined by a junior company. Robert has a Master's degree in Geology from Northern Illinois University and since 1999 has worked on many projects in the U.S., Canada and internationally for numerous junior mining companies. Robert currently is Vice-President of Exploration for FDG Mining Inc., and formerly was Vice-President of Exploration for Portage Minerals. FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS There are no family relationships between any of our directors, executive officers and proposed directors or executive officers. INVOLVEMENT IN CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years: 1. been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences); 2. had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time; 3. been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity; 4. been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated; 5. been the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated (not including any settlement of a civil proceeding among private litigants), relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or 39
removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or 6. been the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(26))), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29))), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member. COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our shares of common stock and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by our company, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Form 5s were required for those persons, we believe that, during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2011, all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners as well as our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners of our subsidiaries were complied with, with the exception of the following: Number of Transactions Not Number of Late Reported on a Failure to File Name Reports Timely Basis Requested Forms ---- ------- ------------ --------------- Thomas Menning 1 (1) 3 Nil ---------- (1) the director or office was late filing a Form 4, Notice of Change of Beneficial Ownership. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and by our Bylaws. Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, director immunity from liability to a company or its stockholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's Articles of Incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation do not specifically limit our directors' immunity. Excepted from that immunity are: (a) a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its stockholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest; (b) a violation of criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; (c) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and (d) willful misconduct. Our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding, or part thereof, initiated by such person unless such indemnification: (a) is expressly required to be made by law, (b) the proceeding was authorized by our Board of Directors, (c) is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in us under Nevada law or (d) is required to be made pursuant to the Bylaws. 40
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and control persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, and is, therefore, unenforceable. CODE OF ETHICS On February 13, 2012, our board of directors adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct that applies to, among other persons, our company's chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer (being our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as well as persons performing similar functions. As adopted, our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote: 1. honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; 2. full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us; 3. compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; 4. the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct; and 5. accountability for adherence to the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct requires, among other things, that all of our company's senior officers commit to timely, accurate and consistent disclosure of information; that they maintain confidential information; and that they act with honesty and integrity. In addition, our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct emphasizes that all employees have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal and state securities laws. Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to our company. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company's Code of Ethics and Business Conduct by another. Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 14.1 to this annual report on Form 10-K. We will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: First American Silver Corp., 10597 Double R. Boulevard, Suite 2, Reno, Nevada 89521. AUDIT COMMITTEE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member of its audit committee that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and is "independent" as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We believe that the members of our board of directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any material revenues to date. In addition, we currently do not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar 41
functions nor do we have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by our board of directors. ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The particulars of the compensation paid to the following persons: * our principal executive officer; * each of our two most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers at the end of the years ended November 30, 2011 and 2010; and * up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided under (b) but for the fact that the individual was not serving as our executive officer at the end of the years ended November 30, 2011 and 2010, who we will collectively refer to as the named executive officers of our company, are set out in the following summary compensation table, except that no disclosure is provided for any named executive officer, other than our principal executive officers, whose total compensation did not exceed $100,000 for the respective fiscal year: SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE Change in Pension Value and Non-Equity Nonqualified Name and Incentive Deferred Principal Stock Option Plan Compensation All Other Position Year Salary($) Bonus($) Awards($) Awards($) Compensation($) Earnings($) Compensation($) Totals($) -------- ---- --------- -------- --------- --------- --------------- ----------- --------------- --------- Thomas Menning(1) 2011 N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A President, Chief 2010 N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Director Robert Suda(2) 2011 N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Director and Vice 2010 N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A President of Exploration, former President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer ---------- (1) Mr. Menning was appointed President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and as a Director on March 2, 2011. (2) Mr. Suda was appointed President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and as a Director on May 4, 2010 and resigned from all officer positions on March 2, 2011. There are no compensatory plans or arrangements with respect to our executive officers resulting from their resignation, retirement or other termination of employment or from a change of control. 42
STOCK OPTION PLAN On November 10, 2011, our directors approved the adoption of our 2011 Stock Option Plan which permits our company to issue options to acquire up to 2,500,000 shares of our common stock by directors, officers, employees and consultants of our company. STOCK OPTIONS/SAR GRANTS During our fiscal year ended November 30, 2011 there were no options granted to our named officers or directors. OUTSTANDING EQUITY AWARDS AT FISCAL YEAR END No equity awards were outstanding as of the year ended November 30, 2011. OPTION EXERCISES During our Fiscal year ended November 30, 2011 there were no options exercised by our named officers. \ COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS We do not have any agreements for compensating our directors for their services in their capacity as directors, although such directors are expected in the future to receive stock options to purchase shares of our common stock as awarded by our board of directors. We have determined that none of our directors are independent directors, as that term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. PENSION, RETIREMENT OR SIMILAR BENEFIT PLANS There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers. We have no material bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or may be paid to our directors or executive officers, except that stock options may be granted at the discretion of the board of directors or a committee thereof. INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS, SENIOR OFFICERS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND OTHER MANAGEMENT None of our directors or executive officers or any associate or affiliate of our company during the last two fiscal years, is or has been indebted to our company by way of guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar agreement or understanding currently outstanding. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION During fiscal 2011, we did not have a compensation committee or another committee of the board of directors performing equivalent functions. Instead the entire board of directors performed the function of compensation committee. Our board of directors approved the executive compensation, however, there were no deliberations relating to executive officer compensation during fiscal 2011. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT None. 43
FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS There are no family relationships between any of our directors, executive officers or directors. ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The following table sets forth, as of February 8, 2012, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common shares by each shareholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common shares, as well as by each of our current directors and executive officers as a group. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated. Beneficial ownership consists of a direct interest in the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated. Amount and Nature Name and Address Title of Beneficial Percentage of of Beneficial Owner of Class Ownership Class (1) ------------------- -------- --------- --------- Thomas J. Menning Common 7,936,000 14.24% 11380 S. Virginia Street, #2011 Reno, NV 89511 Robert Suda Common 8,000,000 14.36% 4323 S. Evergreen Rd. Veradale, WA 99037 Directors and Officers as a group Common 15,936,000 28.61% Henry H. Tonking Common 8,000,000 14.36% 546 Lantern Ct. Incline Village, NV 89451 ---------- (1) Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares).In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided .In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on February 8, 2012 .As of February 8, 2012, there were 55,700,000 shares of our company's common stock issued and outstanding. CHANGES IN CONTROL We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement or provisions of our Articles or Bylaws the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of our company. There are not any provisions in our Articles or Bylaws, the operation of which would delay, defer, or prevent a change in control of our company. ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE Except as disclosed herein, no director, executive officer, shareholder holding at least 5% of shares of our common stock, or any family member thereof, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or proposed transaction since the year ended November 30, 2011, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at the year end for the last three completed fiscal years. 44
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE We currently act with two directors, including Robert Suda and Thomas Menning. We have determined that neither of our directors is an "independent director" as defined in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15). We do not have a standing audit, compensation or nominating committee, but our entire board of directors acts in such capacities. We believe that our members of our board of directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The board of directors of our company does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because we believe that the functions of an audit committee can be adequately performed by the board of directors. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development. ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended November 30, 2011 and for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2010 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows: Year Ended November 30, 2011 November 30, 2010 ----------------- ----------------- $ $ Audit Fees 7,000 4,500 Audit Related Fees 2,725 2,600 Tax Fees Nil Nil All Other Fees Nil Nil Total 9,725 7,100 Our board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered. Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors' independence. PART IV ITEM 15.
