NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 2018
(Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
American International Ventures, Inc. (“AIVN” or collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on January 13, 1998. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AIVN, its 100% owned subsidiary Mega Mines, Inc. (formerly Placer Gold Prospecting, Inc), an entity incorporated in Florida on January 25, 2012 (“Mega Mines”), its 82.5% owned subsidiary AIVN de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., an entity incorporated in Mexico on March 7, 2013 (“AIVN Mexico”), its 100% owned subsidiary Mega Mines LLC, an entity organized in Nevada on July 31, 2014 and acquired by the Company on December 1, 2016, and its 100% owned subsidiary GeoEnergy (USA) Inc., an entity incorporated in West Virginia on April 6, 2012 and acquired by the Company on February 20, 2018 (“Geo Energy”).
AIVN, Mega Mines, AIVN Mexico, and Mega Mines LLC are in the business of mining for precious metals. Geo Energy expects to operate Coal to Liquids (CTL) plants.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of American International Ventures, Inc. (the “Company") as of August 31, 2018 and for the three month periods ended August 31, 2018 and 2017 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 of the three month period ended August 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending May 31, 2019.
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, 2018.
3. GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has experienced losses since its inception. It 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.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward Looking Statements and Cautionary Statements
Certain of the statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include "forward looking statements." All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Form 10-Q regarding the Company's financial position, business strategy, and plans and objectives of management for future operations and capital expenditures, and other matters, are forward looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon management's expectations of future events. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurances that such expectations will prove to be correct. Additional statements concerning important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are disclosed in the Cautionary Statements section and elsewhere in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2018. Readers are urged to refer to the section entitled “Cautionary Statements” and elsewhere in the Company’s Form 10-K for a broader discussion of these statements, risks, and uncertainties. These risks include the Company’s limited operations and lack of revenues. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on behalf of the Company subsequent to the date of this Form 10-Q are expressly qualified in their entirety by the referenced Cautionary Statements.
Results of Operations
Three-months Ended August 31, 2018 and 2017
Sales decreased $41,310 from $41,310 in 2017 to $0 in 2018 and cost of sales decreased $203,877 from $203,877 in 2017 to $0 in 2018. These decreases were due to the shutdown of Mexican mining operations in August 2017.
Total operating expenses increased $454,436 from $104,852 in 2017 to $559,288 in 2018. The increase in operating expenses was due primarily to the $514,358 charge in 2018 relating to the abandonment of certain mining claims.
Net loss increased $276,279 from $283,750 in 2017 to $560,029 in 2018. The increase in net loss was due to the $454,436 increase in total operating expenses offset by the $162,567 decrease in gross loss and the $15,590 decrease in interest expense.
Since the acquisition of Placer Gold Prospecting, Inc in 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 Mexico and Nevada. We will focus on acquiring gold and base mineral resource properties that historically produced gold and silver until 1942 when all gold production in the United States was halted due to World War II. There is no guarantee that such properties will produce gold or silver in the future or that these properties may have already been depleted, as they were previously mined.
None of our properties or claims has any proven or probable reserves.
As of August 31, 2018, the Company had negative working capital of $102,580, compared with a negative working capital of $90,359 as of May 31, 2018.

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 Company’s financial instruments, which include cash and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values at August 31, 2018
c. Loss (Income) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. During periods when a net loss has occurred, as was the case in the three month periods ended August 31, 2018 and 2017, any common stock equivalents 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, and consideration of net operating loss carry forwards, 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 using the straight line method, with useful lives of seven years for mining equipment and five years for vehicles and office furniture and equipment.

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.
h. Segment Reporting
The Company is organized in one reporting and accountable segment.
i. Mining Claims
Mining claims held for development are carried at the cost of the claims plus related acquisition costs. These costs will be amortized if and when extraction begins.
j. Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of AIVN and its domestic subsidiaries is the United States dollar. The functional currency of AIVN Mexico is the Mexico Peso. The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar.
The assets and liabilities of AIVN Mexico are translated into United States dollars at period-end exchange rates ($0.052056 at August 31, 2018). The revenues and expenses are translated into United States dollars at average exchange rates for the periods ($0.051653 for the three months ended August 31, 2018). Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders equity.
k. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Certain accounting pronouncements have been issued by the FASB and other standard setting organizations which are not yet effective and have not yet been adopted by the Company. The impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations from adoption of these standards is not expected to be material.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Not Applicable. Smaller Reporting Companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.
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, 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 August 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None
Smaller Reporting Companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 2. Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
During the three months ended August 31, 2018, the Company issued a total of 33,000,000 shares of its common stock, as follows:
1. 500,000 shares issued to a member of Mega Mines LLC for his remaining equity interest in Mega Mines LLC.
2. 2,500,000 shares issued to 10 individuals (1,750,000 shares to AIVN officers and directors) for services rendered.
3. 30,000,000 shares issued to an entity (owned by AIVN officers) in connection with the acquisition of three affiliated entities of GeoEnergy (USA) Inc.
With respect to the transactions noted above, each of the recipients of securities of the Company was an accredited investor, or is considered by the Company to be a “sophisticated person”, inasmuch as each of them has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of receiving securities of the Company. No solicitation was made and no underwriting discounts were given or paid in connection with these transactions. The Company believes that the issuance of its securities as described above was exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
None.
None.
