Disclosure Regarding Cautionary Statements.



Cautionary Statements.

Certain risks and uncertainties are inherent in the Company's business. In addition to other information contained in this Form 10-KSB, the following Cautionary Statements should be considered when evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-KSB:



LIMITED ASSETS; ABSENCE OF SIGNIFICANT OPERATING REVENUES, AND NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL. As of May 31, 2004, the Company audited financial statements reflect total assets of $122,446
, total current liabilities of $ 2,726
, working capital of $ 116,435
, and a loss from
 operations.  Accordingly, certain risks exist with respect to the Company and it ability to effect its plan of operations of conducting additional exploratory work on its existing mining property, or acquiring additional mining properties.



INDUSTRY RISKS.During the second quarter of
fiscal 200 2
, the Company shifted its business focus to acquiring prospective mineral properties, principally gold and silver properties. This industry is historically capital intensive and of high risk. The Companys ability to achieve profitable operations will be dependent upon many factors, including its ability to raise sufficient capital to identify and acquire prospective mineral properties, and to conduct limited exploration so as to prove up or enhance the potential reserves of such properties.  The ability to discover such reserves are subject to numerous factors, most of which are beyond the Companys control and are not predictable. Exploration for gold involves many risks and is frequently unsuccessful. Any gold exploration program entails risks relating to:

•

The ability to discover economic ore deposits,

•

The subsurface location of economic ore deposits,

•

The development of appropriate metallurgical processes,

•

The receipt of necessary governmental approvals, and

•

The construction of mining and processing facilities at any site chosen for mining, although the Company, at this time, does not expect to engage in actual mining operations.



In addition, the commercial viability of a mineral deposit is dependent on a number of these factors including:

•

The price of gold,



•

The particular attributes of the deposit, such as its size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, financing costs, taxation, royalties, land tenure, land use, water use, power use,  and environmental protection issues
..



The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, and the occurrence of any one or more factors could have a material adverse impact on the Company and its proposed operations.



ADDITIONAL GEOLOGICAL WORK REQUIRED FOR BRUNER PROPERTY.The Company owns a mining property located in Nye County Nevada, known as the Bruner property. The Company has completed  an initial phase of exploratory work on the property consisting of sampling surface and underground exposures of mineralized zones and including five diamond core drill holes  (See Item 1. Description of Business-Bruner Property). The Company is continuing to evaluate the results of this initial phase and will subsequently determine the nature and extent of a follow-up exploratory program, however, the total cost of such exploration work has not be en
 determined at this time. The Company can not predict whether the results of all geological work performed on the Bruner property will be sufficient to conclude that economic mineral deposits exist on such claims, and whether such reserves, if any, are recoverable.



NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL/SIGNIFICANT DILUTION. The Company has a present need for additional capital in order to fulfill its plan of operations for the near term of conducting the follow-up
phase of exploratory work on the Bruner property , along with its other working capital needs.
 In addition, the Company may
require additional capital to conduct other
 exploratory work on the property. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in raising the capital necessary for both near term and future operations. In addition, if the Company is successful in raising additional funds, it is likely that any such additional capital will be in the form of the sale and issuance of  additional shares of Companys common stock. The sale and issuance of common stock may substantially increase the number of shares of common stock outstanding and cause significant dilution to shareholders.



UNPREDICTAB LE GOLD
 PRICE S
. Gold exploration and production involves numerous natural risks that may not be overcome by knowledge and experience. In particular, even if the Company is successful in identifying gold deposits, for which no assurances can be given, the commercialization will be dependent upon the existing market price for gold, among other factors. The market price of gold historically has been unpredictable, and subject to wide fluctuations. The decline in the price of gold could render a discovered property uneconomic for unpredictable periods of time.



INDUSTRY REGULATION.The mineral exploration and mining industry is subject to numerous statutory and regulatory requirements and controls at various governmental levels. Regulations can impact the manner and methodology of any exploration, mining and milling activities undertaken by the Company or its assigns. The impact of such regulations can not be predicted, and may cause unexpected delays, and/or become cost prohibitive, thereby rendering any project uneconomic.



ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER RISKS. Mining activities pose certain potential environmental risks, as well potential personal injury risks. While the Company will attempt to manage its risks, one or more incidents of environmental damage or personal injury resulting from its mining activities could have a material adverse impact on the business of the Company.



VOLATILE PRICES AND LIMITED VOLUME FOR COMPANYS COMMON STOCK. Historically, there has been a limited trading market for the Companys common stock. The price of the common stock has been extremely volatile. Due to the low price of the common stock, many brokerage firms may refrain or be prohibited from trading in the Companys common stock. This could have an adverse effect on sustaining any market for the Companys common stock. Consequently, shareholders may not be able to sell their shares at a desirable time, if at all.



MANAGEMENT AND DEPENDENCE ON MANAGEMENT. The ability of the Company to conduct its business affairs in a successful fashion will be subject to the capabilities and business acumen of current management. Accordingly, no person should purchase the Companys common stock unless such person is willing to entrust all aspects of the business affairs of the Company to its current management.



PENNY STOCK REGULATION.   The  Company's  common stock may be deemed a  "penny stock"  under  federal  securities  laws.  The  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission has  adopted  regulations  that  define a  "penny stock" generally to be any  equity security  that  has  a market price of less than $5.00 per share,  subject  to  certain exceptions.  These regulations impose  additional  sales  practice  requirements  on  any broker/dealer  who sell  such  securities  to  other than  established investors and accredited investors.   For transactions covered by this rule, the broker/dealer must make certain suitability determinations and must receive the purchaser's written consent prior to purchase.  Additionally, any transaction may require the delivery prior to sale of a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission. Disclosure also is required to be made of commissions payable to the broker/dealer and the registered representative, as well as current quotations for the securities.   Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account of the customers and information on the limited market in penny stocks. These requirements generally are considered restrictive to the purchase of such stocks, and may limit the market liquidity for such securities.



PART I

Item 1. Description of Business.



Background.



American International Ventures, Inc., (the "Company") was originally organized as Lucky Seven Gas and Minerals, Inc., under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania on July 16, 1984. The name was changed to Lucky Seven Gold Mines, Inc. on June 24, 1996.  American Precious Metals, Inc was formed January 13, 1998 under the laws of the State of Delaware.  On March 16, 1998 Lucky Seven Gold Mines, Inc. merged into American Precious Metals, Inc., the surviving corporation.  The name was changed to American Global Enterprises, Inc. on November 13, 2000 and changed again on December 21, 2000 to American International Ventures, Inc.



In March 2001, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding capital stock of TLM Industries, Inc. TLM thereafter merged with its wholly owned subsidiary, GetToner.com, Inc. ("GetToner"), pursuant to which GetToner was the surviving entity. GetToner became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and GetToner was engaged in the business of selling office supply products, principally disposable imaging products such as laser toner, inkjet, and fax ribbon cartridges for computer printers, fax machines and copiers. On April 29, 2003, the Company and the former principals of GetToner entered into an agreement pursuant to which the two former principals of GetToner returned 1,751,666 shares of the Companys common stock which was previously issued to them in connection with the GetToner transaction, and the Company returned to those two parties all of the capital stock of GetToner. As a result of the transaction, the Company divested itself of GetToner and its operations (See 
Item 12 .
 Certain Relationships and Related Transactions).







In the second calendar quarter of 2002, the Company undertook to restructure its management and redirect its efforts towards the mining industry by seeking to acquire mining properties in the United States that were sub-economic, but prospective, gold and silver properties. This decision was based in part upon the belief by management that precious metal prices would rise in the future, which would therefore cause a concomitant rise in the value of acquired properties. To that end, the Company effected management changes in April and May 2002. The management changes were intended to strengthen the Companys management experience in the mining industry. Although the Company appointed Robert G. Carrington and Samuel G. Nunnemaker, both industry professionals, as the Companys new directors and new Chairman and President in April 2002, it removed both parties as officers of the Company on May 6, 2003, and on December 15, 2003, a majority of shareholders of the Company voted to remove Messrs. Carrington and Nunnemaker as directors of the Company (See Item 12 Certain Relationships and Related Transactions). The Company then elected Myron Goldstein, an experienced mining executive, to its Board of Directors of the Company on March 25, 2003 and appointed him Chairman on May 6, 2003.  Subsequently on April 10, 2004 ,
 the Board of Directors appointed James K. Duff, another experienced mining executive, to the position of President and C hief Executive Officer
..





BUSINESS OF COMPANY.



General.



The Companys plan of operations for the foreseeable future is to seek, identify and, if successful, acquire a portfolio of undervalued or sub-economic (based upon existing data) but prospective mineral properties in the United States, principally gold properties. These properties likely have had prior mineral exploration work or actual mining activities conducted on site.  Once a property has been identified and/or acquired, the Company intends re-evaluate the property based on the experience of its management and consultants, and will seek to enhance the value of the property by performing a certain
exploratory work on the property. The exploratory work may consist of on site geological mapping, field testing, and the
drilling of exploratory holes. At this time, the Company does not intend to engage in actual mineral extraction operations. However, if the Company is successful in enhancing property values through additional exploratory work, it may consider a number of options, including selling the property to interested mining companies. The Company can not predict whether it will be successful in these endeavors.







Bruner Property



During July 2002, the Company acquired certain patented and unpatented mining claims known as the Bruner property located in Nye County, Nevada from Orcana Resources, Inc. and Miramar Gold Corporation (collectively Orcana). Under the terms of acquisition, the Company is required to maintain the property in good standing under state mining regulations for at least one full assessment year and pay Orcana a two percent net smelter royalty on all metals and materials mined or produced from the property. The Company maintains the right to purchase the net smelter royalty from Orcana for the sum of $250,000 payable in cash and/or marketable securities of the Company. In addition, upon achieving commercial production on the Bruner property, the Company is obligated to pay Orcana $250,000 within 120 day s
 of achieving such commercial production. The payment may be in the form of cash and/or marketable securities of the Company.







The Bruner property is located in Nye County, Nevada in a region known as the Walker Lane gold belt, 125 miles east-southeast of Reno and 25 miles northeast of Gabbs, Nevada.  Several high-grade gold mines and prospects have been developed in the Bruner district in auriferous quartz veins hosted by Tertiary volcanic rocks.  The property area is underlain by Tertiary felsic and intermediate composition volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks.  Gold mineralization is hosted by a sequence of crystal tuffs that range from latite to quartz latite in composition. The latite is pervasively altered in the central portion of the district, and gold detected in surface sampling and drilling is associated with quartz-adularia alteration.  Quartz-adularia veins also occur in the northern and eastern part of the property in a rhyolite porphyry flow-dome that intrudes the volcanic rocks.



Past production in the Bruner district has been estimated at approximately 55,587 ounces of gold contained in 99,625 tons of ore at a recovered grade of 0.562 oz/ton gold.  Most of the production occurred from 1920 to 1942 from high grade gold/silver vein deposits from the Paymaster, Penelas, Phonolite, and Duluth mines.  These mines are located on or near the Companys Bruner property. In addition, several large-scale ,
 volcanic-hosted ,
 low grade
 deposits are located in the general vicinity, including Rawhide (1.4 million ounces gold total production, currently in reclamation), Round Mountain (720,000 ounces gold current annual production with over 9 million ounces produced through 2003), and Paradise Peak (1.5 million ounces gold) properties
.. These properties have been mined through an open pit, bulk mining method.
Despite these past production amounts from the Bruner property and from mines in the general vicinity, the Company can not predict whether commercially exploitable mineral deposits or reserves exist on the Bruner property until appropriate exploratory work is done and an economic evaluation based on such work concludes economic feasibility.



Description of Property.



The Company owns 28 patented claims totaling 560 acres and 41 unpatented claims totaling 820 acres for a total land position of 1,380 acres in the heart of the Bruner district.  All claims are in good standing.  As stated above, the Company acquired the majority of the claims
in July 2002 from Orcana, and the Company staked
additional claims during 2003.   Prior to the Companys acquisition of the claims, Miramar completed an extensive environmental clean-up of the property, and the Company is not aware of any environmental liabilities associated with the property.



Past
Exploration and the Companys Recent Exploration Activities On Bruner.



During the past 25 years, several companies have conducted significant
exploration in the Bruner district, which includes the Companys existing claims,
for volcanic-hosted, bulk-tonnage precious metal mineralization.  The work completed includes geological mapping and sampling, about 1,000 soil geochemistry samples, several hundred rock chip samples from outcrops and underground workings, helicopter-airborne and ground geophysics, and approximately
147 drill holes totaling 65,185 feet. Gold mineralization has been detected in many of the drill holes.
 Most of the drill holes are reverse circulation holes.



The Company estimates that approximately $1.5 to $2 million has been spent on exploration in the area
 since 1979. A significant portion of the geological
data resulting from this exploration work has been in the possession of former offers and directors of
the Company who had withheld the data from
the Company . This information along with other allegations is the subject of a pending litigation involving these former officers and directors. In May 2004, the presiding court determined that the Company was the rightful owner of the Bruner property and data, subject to a future determination on the merits, and ordered the former officers and director to deliver the data to the Company
..   (See Item 3 - Legal Proceeding).



The soil geochemistry program consisted of samples collected at 100 foot intervals along east-west grid lines spaced 400 feet apart. The soil geochemistry data show a 2,000 ft. by 800 ft. northwest-trending gold anomaly over the central portion of the Companys claim block.  Values typically exceed 100 ppb gold and 300 ppb silver, whereas background values are less than 5 ppb gold and less than 50 ppb silver.  In addition, mine dumps, float and outcrops were sampled on the surface, and all of the available mine workings were chip channel sampled.



The magnetic geophysical data depicts the major north and northwest structural trends on a contoured plot of the total field data.  The mineralized structural trend that hosts the Penelas and Bruner deposits is readily identifiable as a linear magnetic low.



Several preliminary estimates have been made in the past of the mineralized material that may be present on the Bruner property.  The most recent and comprehensive estimate was evidenced in a comprehensive report prepared by a professional mining consultant to a major mining company that previously owned the claims.
  The consultant in his report
 estimated that the Duluth target on the Company's Bruner property contains approximately 15 million
tons of 
mineralized material 1 Mineralized material is gold bearing material that has been physically delineated by one or more of a number of methods including drilling, underground work, surface trenching and other types of sampling. This material has been found to contain a sufficient amount of mineralization of an average grade of metal or metals to have economic potential that warrants further exploration evaluation. While this material is not currently or may never be classified as reserves, it is reported as mineralized material only if the potential exists for reclassification into the reserves category. This material cannot be classified in the reserves category until final technical, economic and legal factors have been determined. Under the United States Securities and Exchange Commissions standards, a mineral deposit does not qualify as a reserve unless the recoveries from the deposit are expected to be sufficient to recover total cash and non-cash costs for the mine and related facilities and make a profit.



with a grade of 0.026 oz Au/ton, based on data from 37 reverse circulation drill holes and assuming a cutoff grade of 0.010 oz Au/ton and a rock density of 12 ft3/ton.   The consultant
 concluded that there are several other targets areas on the Bruner property that have excellent potential for the delineation of additional mineralized material. The Company has recently received the geological data from its former officers and directors, and has not analyzed the entirety of the data which formed the basis of the consultants report, and the Company therefore can not corroborate the estimates made by the consultant. Without additional geological, engineering and economic studies, along with additional drilling, the Company can not predict whether commercial mineralization may exist on the property.



During May and June of 2004, the C
ompany conducted a limited diamond drill program in the Duluth area of the Bruner claims
designed to follow up reverse air circulation drilling previously
conducted on the property in the 1980's . During this period, the Company also performed surface geological mapping, and sampling in the area
.. The Company drilled five holes for a total of 767 linear feet. The cost of the program was approximately $68,000.
The Companys
results were similar to previous drilling results
on the property . G
old values greater than 0.02 oz/ton were detected in all of the five holes that were drilled.  Hole 181 contained a 14.3 foot interval that ran 0.079 oz Au/ton including a three foot interval that ran 0.257 oz Au/ton, hole 182 contained a 20.3 foot interval that ran 0.061 oz Au/ton, and hole 184 contained a 28.0 foot interval that ran 0.078 oz Au/ton including a 5.5 foot interval that ran 0.335 oz Au/ton .
 Management and its consulting geologists
are evaluating the results of  its recent exploration program, along with the pre-existing data to determine the cost and scope of the next phase of exploration.
  Future exploration on the Bruner claims will be subject to approval of the Companys Board of Directors and the availability of funds necessary to complete the project.



Additional
Exploration Potential.



All of the recent
exploration efforts on the Bruner claims
have focused on finding bulk minable deposits like those found at
Round Mountain, Paradise Peak and Rawhide open pit mines
..
 Past exploration on the Bruner property has identified several areas where significant volumes of bulk minable gold mineralization may occur at depths of less than 300 feet, which therefore could be amenable to open pit mining methods.





T
he potential for
high-grade vein targets on the Bruner property, especially at depths greater than the low grade mineralization which has been explored to date,
remains largely untested.   P
revious exploration drilling encountered several vein intercepts assaying greater than 0.5 oz/ton Au, and surface sampling also yielded assay results of greater than 0.5 oz/ton Au



.
Preliminary evaluation of the Companys
recent diamond drilling results and surface geological work suggests the possibility of
mineralization at deeper depths, which may be similar to the Midas (also known as the Ken Snyder) mine located approximately 90 miles of Carlin, Nevada. The Midas/Ken Snyder mine was discovered in the mid-1990's and production commenced in January 1999 at an annual rate of about 200,000 ounces of gold per year.  Reserves on December 31, 2003 were 3,400,000 tons at a grade of 0.58 ounces of gold per ton containing 1,950,000 ounces of gold, with a similar amount of mineralized material.











As described above, the Company has not determined the cost or the scope of the next exploration phase. The Company will consider an exploration program aimed at the deeper targets as part of the next exploration phase. Also as described, future exploration on the Bruner claims will be subject to Board approval and the availability of funds necessary to complete the project. Due to the higher costs of the deeper exploratory drill holes and the Companys limited working capital, it is conceivable that the Company may not have sufficient funds to adequately test the deeper zones. In such event, the Company may seek to partner with another mining company to complete the deeper drilling or seek other alternatives such as the sale of the mining rights.







Item 2. Description of Property.







The Companys business office is located at 260 Garibaldi Avenue, Lodi, New Jersey 07644, and is provided by the Companys Chief Financial Officer
on a rent-free basis under an oral arrangement between the parties.  The Company believes that this office space will sufficient to support its needs for the next 12 months.



During July 2002, the Company acquired certain patented and unpatented mining claims known as the Bruner property located in Nye County, Nevada from Orcana Resources, Inc. and Miramar Gold Corporation (collectively Orcana). Under the terms of acquisition, the Company is required to maintain the property in good standing under state mining regulations for at least one full assessment year and pay Orcana a two percent net smelter royalty on all metals and materials mined or produced from the property. The Company maintains the right to purchase the net smelter royalty from Orcana for the sum of $250,000 payable in cash and/or marketable securities of the Company. In addition, upon achieving commercial production on the Bruner property, the Company is obligated to pay Orcana $250,000 within 120 day of achieving such commercial production. The payment may be in the form of cash and/or marketable securities of the Company.  The Companys Bruner claims consist of 28 patented claims totaling 560 acres and 41 unpatented claims totaling 820 acres in the heart of the Bruner district.  All claims are in good standing.  As stated above, the Company acquired the majority of the property in July 2002 from Orcana, and additional claims were staked during 2003.   Prior to the Companys acquisition of the claims, Miramar completed an extensive environmental clean-up of the property, and the Company is not aware of any environmental liabilities associated with the property.





Item 3. Legal Proceedings.



On July 3, 2003, the Company filed an action against the Robert Carrington and Samuel Nunnemaker, former officers and directors of the Company, in Superior Court of New Jersey asserting fraud, breach of fiduciary duties to the Company, and seeking the placement of a constructive trust on a mineral property acquired by their affiliate and the sale proceeds thereof, among other claims.  On April 15, 2004, the court dismissed the case for lack of personal jurisdiction in New Jersey.



The Board of Directors removed Mr. Nunnemaker as an officer and Mr. Carrington as Chairman on May 6, 2003, and Carrington and Nunnemaker were subsequently removed as Directors of the Company on December 15, 2003 by a majority vote of its shareholders.  Information on the background of Carrington and Nunnemaker's removal as Directors may be found in the Company's Form 8-K report that was filed with the SEC on December 16, 2003 and its Information Statement under Schedule 14C filed with the SEC on December 15, 2003.



On April 20, 2004 Mr. Carrington and Mr. Nunnemaker filed a complaint against the Company in the Nevada Second District Court in Washoe County, Nevada asserting breach of contract and contending that the company fraudulently caused them to enter into certain agreements with the Company.   The Company considers the complaint without merit, and intends to vigorously defend its position. The
 Company has filed an answer denying the plaintiffs claims ,
 and also
 filed a counterclaim against the plaintiffs.  The Company's counterclaim alleges that
, among other things, the defendants
breached the conditions of their engagement agreement with the Company
, they wrongfully maintained possession of geological
data pertaining to the Bruner property, they fraudulently obtained certain mining properties for their own benefit and unjust ly
 enrich ed themselves
 while serving as officers and d
irectors of the Company
 in violation of their fiduciary duty to the Company, and they withheld or misrepresented material facts and information from the Board of Directors.   On May 27, 2004 , as a result of a motion filed by the Company,
 the Court ruled that the Company
is the legal titled owner
of the Bruner property, subject to a future determination on the merits,
and ordered the defendants
 to deliver the Bruner
data pertaining to the Company. The lawsuit is currently in discovery.
 The Company intends to vigorously pursue the interests of the Company's shareholders in this matter through the counterclaim action, which seeks to recover damages resulting from their actions.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan Of Operation.



Overview







The Company is an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties.  The Company has acquired mining claims
 located in Nye County, Nevada, known as the Bruner 
 claims.
  The Company intends to carry out exploration work on the Bruner claims
in order to ascertain whether the property possesses commercially exploitable quantities of gold and silver.



The Companys projected capital expenditures for the next 12 months ranges from $230,000 to $360,000 as described below.













































The Companys plan of operations for this period consists of: conducting a comprehensive geological study and drill site identification on the Bruner claims, and if warranted, conduct additional drilling operating; staking and acquiring new mining claims located in Utah; and identifying additional mining properties for acquisition.



The Bruner geological study will consist of a comprehensive geological and engineering review of the existing data including data recently received by the Company compiled by the prior owners of the claims. The review will be conducted by independent professional geologists and engineers in collaboration with the two of the Companys officers. The purpose of the study is to identify prospective targets for additional drilling. The Company expects that most of these targets will be at depth greater than 300 feet, the purpose of which will be to provide additional information regarding the presence of high grade vein deposits.  The projected cost of the study is $30,000.  The Company has budgeted $150,000 for additional drilling, however, the actual amount will vary dependent upon the results of the study. The Company presently is exploring the possibility of staking additional mining claims on a recently identified property. If the Company is successful in acquiring these additional claims, the Company expects to expend approximately $30,000 in geological studies and identification of prospective drill targets, and $100,000 in actual drilling operations. As with the Bruner claims, the actual amount of drilling will vary dependent upon the results of the study. The Company can not predict however, whether it will be successful in acquiring these claims or if acquired, identifying prospective drill targets. The Company will seek to identify additional prospective mining claims. The projected cost to acquire these claims, including a limited geological review, is $20,000.



In addition to the capital requirements above, the Company has budgeted $70,000 for corporate overhead, including payment of consulting fees to the Companys President, with the remainder allocated for legal, accounting, and miscellaneous expenditures. Legal fees include amounts projected for its ongoing litigation with its former officers and directors. In June 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant, who is now its President, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to pay the officer $1,400 per month. The agreement expires at the end of calendar year 2004. As of May 31, 2004, $8,400 in fees and approximately $1,600 in expenses are accrued and unpaid. Other than as indicated above, the Company has no other projected capital expenditures.



If the Company is able to raise part but not all of its projected working capital needs, it intends to prioritize available capital. The Company will pay its overhead requirements on an as needed basis. Next, it will devote available capital to the Bruner exploration or its new claims, if acquired, based on exploration potential and comparative risk avoidance.  Available capital remaining will be allocated towards to identification and exploration of other mining claims. The last item of priority will be listing on the Toronto Venture Exchange. The
Company intends to finance its plan of operations through the private placement of its capital stock or
 through debt financing. At this time, the Company has no commitments for any such financing. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in these endeavors. If the Company is unsuccessful in these endeavors, it will have a material adverse impact on Company and its ability to conduct its business in the future.

As stated elsewhere herein, Robert Carrington and Samuel Nunnemaker became officers and directors of the Company in May 2002.  Both parties represented to the Company that they were mining professionals, and agreed to search for and identify prospective mining properties for the Company. In exchange, the Company granted each of such parties 500,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.0001 per share, and certain other stock acquisition rights. On or about November 2002, Messrs. Carrington and Nunnemaker (interested directors), through an affiliated entity, acquired a mining property (business opportunity) for their own account and without disclosing the business opportunity to the Company. Approximately two months later, the interested directors offered the business opportunity to the Company; however, it was unclear whether the terms offered were identical to those under which the property was acquired by the interested directors. The remaining Board members requested that additional information, including contracts and mining data related to the acquired property, be presented to the Board in order to clarify such terms and in order for the Board to make an informed decision as to whether the Company should acquire the business opportunity. The interested directors refused to provide any information despite repeated written requests by the Board. The Company believes that the interested directors violated their fiduciary duties to the Company. On May 6, 2003, the Board of Directors removed Messrs. Carrington and Nunnemaker as officers of the Company, and on December 13, 2003, a majority of shareholders voted to remove Messrs. Carrington and Nunnemaker as directors of the Company.  On July 3, 2003, the Company filed an action against the interested directors in Superior Court of New Jersey asserting fraud, breach of fiduciary duties to the Company, and seeking the placement of a constructive trust on the mineral property acquired by their affiliate and the sale proceeds thereof, among other claims. On April 20, 2004, Mr. Carrington and Mr. Nunnemaker filed a complaint against the Company in the Nevada Second District Court in Washoe County, Nevada asserting breach of contract and contending that the company fraudulently caused them to enter into certain agreements with the Company.   The Company considers the complaint without merit, and intends to vigorously defend its position. The Company has filed an answer denying the plaintiffs claims and, also  filed a counterclaim against the plaintiffs.  (See Item 2 Legal Proceedings).



On December 23, 2003, the Board of Directors approved the 2003 Stock Option Plan of the Company. Under the plan, stock options or stock grants for a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock can be issued to officers, directors, and consultants. On that same date, Board of Directors authorized the issuance of stock options to acquire 300,000 shares of common stock to each of the five officers and/or directors of the Company and one consultant, who is now the Companys President, for a total of 1,800,000 shares.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To The Board of Directors

American International Ventures, Inc.



I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of American International Ventures, Inc. as of May 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders deficit, and cash flows for the year ended May 31, 2004 the year ended May 31, 2003 (which include a subsidiary for the period from June 1, 2002 to April 29, 2003).  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.  My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits.



I conducted the audits in accordance with the Standards of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  I believe that the audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.



In my opinion, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American International Ventures, Inc. as of May 31, 2004, and the results of the operations of American International Ventures, Inc. and their cash flows for the two yearly periods then ended (except that the 2003 period included a former subsidiary for the period from June 1, 2002 to April 29, 2003) in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Note 1.

ORGANIZATION & BUSINESS



Organization

The Company was formed January 13, 1998 as American Precious Metals, Inc..  On March 16, 1998, it merged with Lucky Seven Gold Mines, Inc., a corporation which had operated since 1984 and was the successor entity of the merger.  On December 20, 2000, the Company changed its name to American International Ventures, Inc. (AIV).  On March 15, 2001, AIV acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the parent company of GetToner.com, Inc. (GetToner) in exchange for 3,225,000 shares of common stock of AIV.  GetToner, along with predecessors, has been in the  business of marketing office supplies since 1997.  For financial accounting purposes, the merger with GetToner was accounted for as a pooling of interests.



The merger with GetToner was recinded on April 29, 2003.  Under the terms of the recission, the individuals who were the controlling shareholders of GetToner returned 1,751,666 shares of Company common stock and the Company returned to those shareholders all of the capital stock of GetToner.



Business

The Company was in the development stage until its acquisition of GetToner.  As such, its activities were limited to the pursuit of new business ventures.  As explained in Note 9, the Company has consulted with mining companies in the development of technology related to metallurgical testing.  During the year ended May 31, 2003, the Company acquired a mineral deposit which it intends to exploit (See Note 5).



Note 2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES



a.

Consolidated Statements



The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and, until April 29, 2003, its former wholly owned subsidiary, GetToner.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.



b.

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.

Note 2 (continued)





c.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments



The carrying amounts of the Companys financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investment securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values at May 31, 2004.



d.   
Losses Per Share



Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  The number of weighted average shares outstanding as well as the amount of net loss per share are the same for basic and diluted per share calculations for all periods reflected in the accompanying financial statements.



As detailed in Note #6, options were issued in the year ended May 31, 2004.  In addition, warrants were issued as part of a private placement offering during the year (see Note 4).  These options and warrants were not included in the calculation of loss per share because such inclusion would have an antidilutive effect.



e.   
Income Taxes



The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, 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.

f.    
Inventory



Inventory consisted principally of finished product.  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first in-first out basis) or market.



a.

Marketable Securities



Marketable securities 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.



h.  
Fixed Assets



Fixed assets are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is computed by using accelerated methods, with useful lives of seven years for furniture and equipment and five years for computers and automobiles.



i.   
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.



j.   
Advertising Costs



The Company expenses advertising costs when the advertisement occurs. Advertising costs amounted to $1,000 in the year ended May 31, 2003.  There were no advertising costs in the year ended May 31, 2004.  In the 2003 year, these amounts were included in discontinued operations.



k.    
Segment Reporting



The Company is now organized in one reporting and accountable segment.



l.    
Recognition of Revenue



Revenue is realized from the sales of product and services.  Recognition occurs upon delivery.

m.    
Common Stock



Common stock of the Company has been issued in return for services.  Values are assigned to these issuances equal to the value of services received or the market value of the common stock, whichever is most clearly evident.



a.

Options Outstanding



Options and warrants to purchase capital stock of the Company are valued in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.  This value, in the case of stock options, is expensed during the period in which the options are earned.





Note 3.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS



The obligation of the Company under employment agreements with officers of GetToner terminated as part of the recission of the GetToner acquisition.  Obligations for loans and advances from the officers of GetToner and their families also terminated as part of the recission of the GetToner acquisition.



Two officers of the Company were compensated for their services by the awarding of 750,000 shares of common stock, for which they paid a nominal amount.



The Company makes its headquarters in premises owned by the Company president, which to date has been rent-free.



Note 4.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERINGS



The Company conducted private placement offerings during April and May 2004.  These offerings were exempt under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  A total of 560,000 units were sold under the offerings resulting in net proceeds of $140,000.  Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one half warrant to purchase a share of common stock at a price of $.50 per share.  A total of 280,000 warrants were issued.  They expire eighteen months from the date of issuance.

Note 5.

MINERAL DEPOSIT



In July 2002, the Company acquired by agreement patented mining claims located in Nevada at a cost of $3,273.  The Company believes these claims contain valuable gold deposits and plans to exploit them.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has certain rights and obligations:  a 2% Net Smelting Royalty will be due to the seller on all metals and materials mined at the property; a one time payment of $250,000 will be due to the seller in cash or marketable securities when Commercial Production has been achieved at the property; and the Company will have a right to purchase the Net Smelting Royalty upon receipt by the Company Board of Directors of a positive Flexibility Study  the purchase price would be $250,000.

Note 6.

STOCK OPTIONS



In December 2003, the Board of Directors approved a stock option plan under which options to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock can be issued to key employees and key consultants as determined by the Board of Directors.  Although stockholder approval of the plan is required but has not yet been obtained, the Board of Directors issued options to purchase common stock to five officers of the Company and one consultant.  Each received options to purchase 300,000 shares at a price of $.10 per share.  The options have a term of five years.  One third of the options vested immediately; a second third vests December 23, 2004; and the remaining one third vests December 23, 2005.  Each optionee must be an officer or director on each vesting date or vesting scheduled for that date will not occur.



The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Shales option pricing model, with the following weighted average assumptions:  dividend yield 0.0%; expected volatility of 66%; risk free interest rate of 4.5%; and expected life of 2.9, 3.4, and 3.9 years.

OPERATING LEASES



There was no rent expense for the year ended May 31, 2004 (see Note 3).  Rent expense amounted to $6,320 in the year ended May 31, 2003.  All of the operating leases were those of GetToner; these amounts were charged to discontinued operations.





Note 8.

INCOME TAXES



The Company and its former subsidiary have experienced losses each year since its inception.  As a result, it has incurred no Federal income tax.  The Internal Revenue Code allows net operating losses (NOLs) to be carried forward and applied against future profits for a period of twenty years; state law in New Jersey allows a seven-year carry forward period.  At May 31, 2004, NOL carryforwards were available to the Company as follows:  the Federal amount was $833,902 and the state amount was $796,050.  The potential tax benefit of the  NOLs has been recognized on the books of the Company, but offset by a valuation allowance.  If not used, the Federal carryforwards will expire as follows:

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES OF CASH FLOWS INFORMATION



Cash was paid for interest during the years ended May 31, 2004 and 2003, in the amounts of $206 and $33,664, respectively. Of these amounts, $206 and $827, respectively, were paid by the Company; the remaining amounts were charged to discontinued operations. There was no cash paid for income taxes during either year.



The following noncash financing activities occurred:



a.

Shares of common stock were issued for services during the year ended May 31, 2002 in the amount of 5,166,666 shares.  Of these shares, 3,000,000 were issued to two officers of the Company on condition that the officers arrange for the acquisition by the Company of specified quantities of gold resources.  These goals were not met and on October 23, 2003 the Board of directors cancelled the entire 3,000,000 shares.

b.

The GetToner acquisition was recinded effective April 29, 2003.  In connection therewith the Company received 1,751,666 shares of its common stock which is being held as treasury stock.

c.

Shares of common stock were issued for services during the 2003 year in the amount of 750,000 shares.  A nominal amount was received as consideration for these shares.

d.

Options to purchase 1,800,000 shares of common stock were issued during the 2003 year. Of these, 600,000 vested during the year and the $21,273 value of these options was charged to expense.



The following noncash investing activity occurred.



a.

The common stock of Birch Mountain was restored to trading on the Canadian Venture Exchange during 2002 (see Note 9), and its value was added to the balance sheet, producing other comprehensive income of $53,320.  This amount was increased to $60,300 on shares held at May 31, 2003.  It has been reduced to zero at May 31, 2004 because the remaining stock of Birch Mountain was sold during the 2004 year.

OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME



During the year ended May 31, 2000, the Company earned a finders fee consisting of 350,000 shares of the common stock of Birch Mountain Resources, Ltd. (Birch Mountain), a company which is publicly traded on the Canadian Venture Exchange (the Exchange).  An additional 150,000 common shares of Birch Mountain may be earned when it has been determined by Birch Mountain that certain specified conditions have been satisfied.  No assurances can be given that the Company will earn such shares.  The stock of Birch Mountain was suspended at that time from trading by the Exchange and no value was assigned to the stock on the books of the Company.  Trading privileges were subsequently restored and the fair market value of these shares was added to the balance sheet, providing other comprehensive income at May 31, 2002 of $53,320.  This balance increased to $60,300 at May 31, 2003, and was eliminated in the year ended May 31, 2004 when the remaining shares of Birch Mountain were sold.





Note 11.

CONTINGENCY



The Company brought suit during 2003 in New Jersey Superior Court against two former officers and directors of the Company, charging them with fraud and breach of fiduciary duty.  On April 15, 2004, the case was dismissed by the New Jersey court for lack of jurisdiction.  On April 20, 2004, the two officers and directors brought suit in a Nevada court, charging the Company with, among other things, breach of contract.  The Company answered this suit and brought a counterclaim against the two officers and directors.  The Company is unable to predict at this time the outcome of the suit, but does not expect a materially adverse result.
