NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FEBRUARY 28, 2018

(unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

First American Silver Corp. was incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 29, 2008.  The Company’s principal office is located at 1031 Railroad St. Suite 102B, Elko NV 89801.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Exploration Stage Company

On June 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued update ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915).   Amongst other things, the amendments in this update removed the definition of development stage entity from Topic 915, thereby removing the distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from US GAAP.  In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information on the statements of income, cash flows and shareholders equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity;  (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage.  The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2014 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, however entities are permitted to early adopt for any annual or interim reporting period for which the financial statements have yet to be issued.  The Company has elected to early adopt these amendments and accordingly have not labeled the financial statements as those of a development stage entity and have not presented inception-to-date information on the respective financial statements.

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.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company's operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, and regulatory risks including the potential risk of business failure.  See Note 3 regarding going concern matters.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  At February 28, 2018 and November 30, 2017, respectively, the Company had $5,605 and $541 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 expenses, notes payable, and note payable-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.

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.

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, 2017, 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.

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.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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.

Mineral Properties

Costs of exploration 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.

Mineral properties are analyzed for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if warranted by circumstances. Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used in operations when indicators of impairment are present.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current-year financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations. In addition, certain prior year amounts from the restated amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that First American Silver, Inc. will continue as a going concern.  The Company has a working capital deficit, 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.  Without realization of additional debt or 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 debt and equity financing.  It has sustained losses in all previous reporting periods with an inception to date loss of approximately $1,814,825 as of February 28, 2018. Management continues to seek funding from its shareholders and other qualified investors.

The results for the three months ended February 28, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. These financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended November 30, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at February 28, 2018 and for the related periods presented.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This quarterly 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 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 unaudited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly 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 could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this quarterly report.

 

Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

 

In this quarterly 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 quarterly report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” and “our company” mean First American Silver Corp., unless otherwise indicated.

 

General Overview

 

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 became 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".

 

Our Current Business

 

In 2014, we abandoned our mineral property business and initiated efforts to enter a new line of business. To-date, although our company has engaged in a number of negotiations in respect of new business lines, we have not yet consummated any transactions or started any new commercial activities.

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended February 28, 2018 Compared to the Three Months Ended February 28, 2017

 

We had a net loss of $13,957 for the three month period ended February 28, 2018, which was $5,052 more than the net loss of $8,905 for the three month period ended February 28, 2017. The change in our results over the two periods is a result of an increase in legal and accounting fees.

 

The following table summarizes key items of comparison and their related increase (decrease) for the three month periods ended February 28, 2018 and February 28, 2017:

 

		Three Months Ended February 28. 2018				Three Months Ended February 28, 2017				Change Between Three Month Periods Ended February 28, 2018 and February 28, 2017
Accounting and legal		$	5,838			$	1,718			$	4,120
Transfer agent and filing fees			1,239				1,196				43
General and administrative			254				16				238
Interest/Other (income) expense			6,626				5,975				651
Net loss		$	13,957			$	8,905			$	5,052

 

Revenue

 

We have not earned any revenues since our inception and we do not anticipate earning revenues in the upcoming quarter.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our balance sheet as of February 28, 2018 reflects current assets of $5,605.  We had cash in the amount of $5,605 and a working capital deficit in the amount of $530,529 as of February 28, 2018. We have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our stated plan of operation for the next twelve months.

 

Working Capital

 

		At February 28, 2018				At February 28, 2017
Current assets		$	5,605			$	541
Current liabilities			536,134				517,113
Working capital (deficiency)		$	(530,529	)		$	(516,572	)

 

We anticipate generating losses and, therefore, may be unable to continue operations further in the future.

 

Cash Flows

 

		Three Months Ended
		February 28, 2018				February 28, 20176
Net cash (used in) operating activities		$	(4,936	)		$	(4,597	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities			10,000				9,000
Net (decrease) in cash during period		$	5,064			$	4,995

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended February 28, 2018 was $4,936, an increase of $339 from the $4,597 net cash outflow during the three months ended February 28, 2017.

 

Investing Activities

 

We had no investing activities during the three months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended February 28, 2018 was $10,000 as compared to $9,000 in cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended February 28, 2017.

 

We estimate that our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next 12 months to be as follows:

 

Estimated Net Expenditures During The Next Twelve Months

 

General and administrative expenses		$	14,000
Professional fees		$	10,000
Total		$	24,000

 

To date we have relied on proceeds from the sale of our shares in order to sustain our basic, minimum operating expenses; however, we cannot guarantee that we will secure any further sales of our shares.  We estimate that the cost of maintaining basic corporate operations (which includes the cost of satisfying our public reporting obligations) will be approximately $2,000 per month.   Due to our current cash position of approximately $5,605 as of February 28, 2018, we estimate that we have sufficient cash to sustain our basic operations for the next twelve months.

 

We are not aware of any known trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in our liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.

 

Future Financings

 

We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned business activities.

 

We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing for the expansion of our exploration operations, and no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with our plan of operations.

 

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, and capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

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.

The Company's operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, and regulatory risks including the potential risk of business failure.  See Note 3 regarding going concern matters.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Our company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  At February 28, 2018 and November 30, 2017, respectively, we had $5,605 and $541 of unrestricted cash to be used for future business operations.

 

Our company's bank accounts are deposited in insured institutions.  The funds are insured up to $250,000.   At times, our company's bank deposits may exceed the insured amount.  Management believes that 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 expenses, notes payable, and note payable-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 our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. Our company continually monitors our banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Our company believes we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

Our 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.

 

Our 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 our 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.

 

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 February 28, 2018, 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 of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Our company is in the exploration stage and has yet to realize revenues from operations. Once our company has commenced operations, we 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 our 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 our 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.
