AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL VENTURES, INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 28, 2014
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of American International Ventures, Inc. ("the Company") as of February 28, 2014 and for the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, such information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of such periods. The results of operations for the nine month period ended February 28, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending May 31, 2014.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes the disclosure is adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended May 31, 2013.
2. BACKGROUND
On March 23, 2012, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Placer Gold Prospecting, Inc. (PGPI), a Company that was formed on January 25, 2012. This share exchange agreement was treated as a reverse recapitalization, under which the legal acquiree (Placer) was treated as the accounting acquirer and the equity accounts of the Company were adjusted to reflect a reorganization. Inasmuch as Placer was treated as the accounting acquirer, whenever historical financial information is presented, it is Placer information.
On March 7, 2013, the Company formed a subsidiary in Baja, California. It remained inactive until June 1, 2013 at which time it became operational, extracting gold from mining claims that are not owned by the Company. The Company is negotiating for the acquisition of these claims. The Company has, thus far, not compensated the owner of the claims for this extraction activity.
3. GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has experienced losses during the exploration stage of $6,020,762, had a working capital deficiency at February 28, 2014 and presently does not have sufficient resources to meet its outstanding liabilities or accomplish its objectives during the next twelve months. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation.
4. INVENTORY
The inventory of $71,241 at February 28, 2014 consists solely of processed gold ore and is stated at the lower of cost as determined by allocating total cost of production among the units produced (an average cost basis) or market.

5. FIXED ASSETS:
Included in fixed assets are the following:
Machinery and equipment | $528,999 |
Vehicles | 147,791 |
Computers | 3,085 |
| $679,875 |
6. INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES AND GAIN ON SALE OF MINE
On January 20, 2014, the Company sold a portion of a mining claim for 5,000,000 shares of restricted stock of the buyer. That stock in a new development stage company was deemed of little value and a nominal value of $5,000 was assigned to it.
There was no cost associated with the mining claim, so the gain reflected in these financial statements is identical to the value assigned to the securities received as consideration for the sale.

8. TAXES PAYABLE
The financial statements include a charge for income tax for the Mexican subsidiary. Costs incurred by the Mexican subsidiary include both those costs deductible for tax purposes and those that are non-deductible. As a result, there is a taxable profit.
In addition, in failing to properly register the Mexican payroll, the Company did not withhold appropriate payroll taxes nor did it initially record the Company portion of payroll taxes. When the Company became aware of these problems, it recorded appropriate expenses and liabilities. That tax liability is included in the financial statements.
Of the overall tax liability, $28,783 is for income taxes and $74,868 is for payroll taxes.
9. LONG TERM DEBT OBLIGATIONS
As part of the consideration for the acquisition of certain mining claims, the Company issued debt obligations, as follows:

10. STOCK WARRANT LIABILITY
During the year ended May 31, 2013, the Company entered into an Advisory Agreement with an investment banker which called for the issuance of stock purchase warrants with full ratchet anti-dilution rights. After negotiations with the investment banker the Company issued 2,715,000 warrants without anti-dilution rights, which the Company believes is in full satisfaction of the Agreement. Nonetheless, in accordance with pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), these warrants have been classified as liabilities. They will be periodically revalued by use of a Black Sholes valuation model. Changes in the value will be recorded on the statement of operations. During the nine month period ended February 28, 2014 the value was reduced by $190,050.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Nine Months Ended February 28, 2014 compared with the Nine Months ended February 28, 2013.
During the nine months ended February 28, 2014, the Company, through its subsidiary AIVN de Mexico, commenced limited mining and milling operations on its mining property located in Baja California, Mexico. The claims called the Mother Lode have placer and hard rock mining characteristics, and the Company is currently mining the placer portion of the claims. During the current nine month period, the Company recorded $187,200 in revenues from the sale of precious metals, mainly gold. The Company did not have revenues during the comparable period in 2013.
Production cost during the current nine month period, consisting of mining, milling and personnel costs, was $158,536. The Company did not incur production costs for the comparable period in 2013.
Gross profit for the current nine month period was $28,664. The Company did not have a gross profit for the comparable period in 2013.
Administrative expense for the nine months ended February 28, 2014 was $530,049 compared to $5,470,755 for the comparable period in 2013. Administrative expense consists primarily of professional fees in the amount of $105,733, director awards in the amount of $142,500, payroll taxes for Mexico subsidiary in the amount of $76,878, assessments on unpatented mining claims in amount of $35,329 and depreciation of $33,323. The decrease in administrative cost for the current period from the prior period is due principally to the reduction in consulting expense ($1,780,427), the absence of the cost of warrants issued for services ($1,004,500 in the 2013 period), the absence of director options ($495,000 in prior year) and the absence of other stock based expense ($670,000 in prior year).
During the nine month period ended February 28, 2014, the Company had income in the amount of $190,050 from the sale of warrants previously issued. A similar item was not recorded for the comparable 2013 period. Interest expense for the nine month period ended February 28, 2014 was $41,180 compared with $12,318 for the comparable period in 2013. The increased interest expense is due to an increase in debt obligations including convertible promissory notes.
6
During the nine month period ended February 28, 2014, the Company has an income tax expense of $29,960 payable to the Mexican government due to its production activities in Mexico. Net Loss for the nine month period, ended February 28, 2014 was $377,364 compared with a loss of $5,783,014 for the comparable period in 2013. The significant decrease in net loss for the current period is due to the reasons described above.
Three Months Ended February 28, 2014 compared with the Three Months ended February 28, 2013.
During the three month period ended February 28, 2014, the Company recorded $57,239 in revenues from the sale of precious metals, mainly gold. The Company did not have revenues from the comparable period in 2013.
Production costs during that three month period, consisting of mining, milling and personnel costs, were $53,055. The Company did not incur production costs for the comparable period in 2013.
Gross profit for the current three month period was $4,184. The Company did not have a gross profit for the comparable period in 2013.
Administrative expense for the three months ended February 28, 2014 was $120,510 compared to $1,496,902 for the comparable period in 2013. Administrative expense consists primarily of professional fees and Mexico charges for payroll taxes. The decrease in administrative cost for the current period from the prior period is due principally to the absence of stock-based expense for leases ($370,000 in prior year), the prior year director awards of $312,000 and other non-recurring costs.
During the current three month period, the Company had income in the amount of $27,150 from the change in fair value of warrants previously issued by the Company. A similar item was not recorded for the comparable 2013 period. Interest expense for the current three month period was $17,941 compared with $5,917 for the comparable period in 2013. The increased interest expense is due to an increase in debt obligations.
Net Loss for the current three month period was $131,966 compared with a loss of $1,502,819 for the comparable period in 2013. The significant decrease is due to the reasons described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Since the acquisition of Placer Gold Prospecting, Inc. in March 2012, our operations have focused on developing, planning and operating past producing precious metal properties and mines. Specifically, we are now a gold and silver exploration and extraction company, operating primarily in Baja California Mexico and Nevada.
None of our properties or claims has any proven or probable reserves and all of our activities undertaken and currently proposed are exploratory in nature.
As of February 28, 2014, the Company had working capital deficit of $275,431, compared with a working capital deficit of $95,972 as of May 31, 2013. The increase in working capital deficit for the current period is due to increases in various payables during the period partially offset by the addition of inventory during the current period.
The Company has projected that its administrative overhead for the next 12 months will be approximately $165,000 which consists of accounting fees (including tax, audit and review) in the approximate amount of $25,000, legal fees in the approximate amount of $40,000, and miscellaneous expenses of $100,000. The projected legal and accounting fees relate to the Companys reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company expects to incur additional legal and accounting fees in order to effect acquisition and share exchange or a business combination transaction should one occur. The Company has no other capital commitments. To continue its business plan, the Company will be required to raise additional funds through the private placement of its capital stock or through debt financing to meet its ongoing corporate overhead obligations. If the Company is unable to meet its corporate overhead obligations, it will have a material adverse impact on the Company and the Company may not be able to complete its plan of operations of finding a suitable business acquisition or combination candidate.
7
Please refer to the Companys Form 10-K for the period ending May 31, 2013 for a discussion of other risks attendant to its proposed plan of operations of effecting a business acquisition or combination, including the occurrence of significant dilution and a change of control. Even if successful in effecting a business acquisition or combination, it is likely that numerous risks will exist with respect to the new entity and its business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures
Significant Accounting Policies
a. Cash
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
b. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Companys financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values at February 28, 2014.
c. Loss (Income) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of shares outstanding. During periods when a net loss has occurred, as was the case in the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 2014, outstanding options and warrants are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
d. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with current accounting guidance, which requires the use of the liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Current income taxes are based on the income that is currently taxable.
e. Marketable Securities
Marketable securities, when owned, are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities are recognized as direct increases or decreases in accumulated other comprehensive income.
f. Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed by using accelerated methods, with useful lives of seven years for machinery and equipment, five years for vehicles and three years for computers.
g. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
8
h. Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs when the advertisement occurs. There was no advertising expense in the three or nine month periods ended February 28, 2014.
i. Segment Reporting
The Company is organized in one reporting and accountable segment.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not applicable
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (one and the same person), we undertook an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure (a) that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (b) that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended February 28, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
