NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The foregoing unaudited interim financial statements of First American Scientific Corp. (hereinafter "FASC" or "the Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2005. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company's financial position and results of operations.
Operating results for the three month period ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2006.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of FASC is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company's assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of operations.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $11,623,898 through September 30, 2005 and has limited cash resources. The Company recorded minimal sales during the period ended September 30, 2005 and generated a net loss of $117,069. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to substantially increase sales through current channels and develop new sales opportunities. Management has also established plans designed to increase the sales of the Company's products by continued research and development and combining technology and sales resources with its joint venture partners and with its Licensees.
Management intends to seek new capital from new equity securities offerings which will, if successful, provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth and fully implement its business plan. However, there is no assurance that the Company will raise the required capital. If the Company is unable to raise the required capital, then it will assess its future business viability.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
Revenues from the sale of KDS machines are recognized when there is a sales contract, all terms of the contract have been completed, collectibility is reasonably assured and the products are delivered. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company sold one license and contracted to sell two machines in the future.
KDS machine costs include applicable direct material and labor costs and related indirect costs. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability may result in revisions to product costs, which are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2005 presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153 (hereinafter "SFAS No. 109"). This statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions," is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. This statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges incurred during fiscal years beginning after the date of this statement is issued. During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No. 153. The Company has determined that there was no financial impact from the adoption of this statement.
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, " Inventory Costs - an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4". This statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that ". . . under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. . . ." This statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal." In addition, this statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not believe the adoption of this statement will have any immediate material impact on the Company.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a revision to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, " Accounting for Stock Based Compensations." This statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and its related implementation guidance. This statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This statement does not change the accounting guidance for share based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123. This statement does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans. Management does not believe the adoption of this statement will have any immediate material impact on the Company.

During the three months ended September, the Company granted 2,765,000 options of which 2,765,000 were immediately exercised.
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTIES
At September 30, 2005, the Company owed three of its senior executives $ 150,000 for accrued salary and $163,353 for loans made to the Company.
NOTE 6 - CONTRACTS
On August 6, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with The Waste and Resources Action Programme (hereinafter "WRAP") which is a U.K. Government funded program that supports research to improve markets for recycled materials and products in the U.K. WRAP intends to fund the cost of research and development (R&D), as WRAP determines appropriate, to determine the possibilities for the Company's KDS Technology and KDS Micronex Machine and ancillaries. In addition, WRAP will conduct R&D to develop a production scale ancillary sludge separation system which can be used with the KDS Micronex Machine to reduce the costs and environmental impact of the sludge produced by the paper industry. Under the terms of the agreement, WRAP has purchased a KDS Micronex Machine. Also, WRAP will provide agreed funding in the amount of ^ 540,000 to be disbursed at WRAP's sole discretion for R&D purposes.
On September 26, 2005, the Company signed an exclusive license agreement for manufacturing and marketing the KDS System in Japan with JP Steelplantech Company of Yokohama, Japan. As part of the agreement JP Steel will pay licensing fee and will purchase and install a fully operational KDS at its facility in Yokohama to be used for sales demonstrations and research purposes. JP Steel will also pay a royalty for each machine manufactured and sold in Japan.

NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On Sept 14, 2005 AGES made a request to its shareholder to raise additional working capital by way of the issuance of new capital in AGES. The Company declined to participate. In October 2005 AGES received $ 700,000 Cdn in new funding from its shareholders which was deemed sufficient funds to complete its current project. As a result, the Company's interest in AGES was diluted to 12 % and Hydro Quebec Capitech Inc became the majority and controlling shareholder of AGES.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS September 31, 2005
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We were incorporated April 12, 1995 as a development stage company. We are the owner of the KDS disintegration technology which is patented in the USA, Canada, UK, Europe, Mexico, Australia, and New Zealand. In addition to the core patent, new patents for two new applications, one for the cryogenic freezing and shattering scrap rubber and one for separation of precious metals from mineral rock using our equipment have been granted. One other patent application for drying and recovery of fuel and clay from biomass has been submitted and is pending status. Further new registrations have been submitted in Japan, Malaysia and South Korea. We have now reached proven commercial viability for several of our applications and have entered our marketing phase. To date, we have sold systems in Canada, the United States, Poland, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan and the UK.
On September 30, 2005 we had current assets of $ 442,586 and current liabilities of $ 229,934 compared to the previous year on September 30, 2004 when we had $ 245,072 in current assets and $ 70,334 in current liabilities. Our working capital ratio on September 30, 2005 was 1.92: 1, compared to the working capital ratio was 3.48 : 1 on September 30, 2004. The company is maintaining a positive working capital position and has no long term debt other than advances from two of its directors.
Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) Funding
In October 2004, Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) awarded a $600,000 Cdn research grant to AGES to construct and install a complete waste to energy KDS 3000 System at a pulp mill in eastern Canada. To date approximately three fourths of the funds have been received on a 2 : 1 matching basis.
Waste Resources Action Program (WRAP) Research Funding
In September 2004, we signed an agreement wherein WRAP has agreed to provide funding to develop "value enhanced end-products" from the output of the KDS machine. WRAP has agreed to provide $1,000,000 USD for the purchase and installation of one complete KDS system to be located at an industrial site in England. The fund will also pay for market research, scientific research, re-design and adaptation costs for the equipment and supplementary systems for industry-specific applications. FASC engineering staff will manage the project which will run for approximately 18 months. The goals of the project are to demonstrate the KDS technology in a working environment, optimize ancillary equipment to improve its efficiency, and identify markets for recycled end products. The first machine was sold and paid for, then shipped to Aylesford Newsprint in London, England where it is now in operation. An evaluation is now ongoing and we are expecting a progress report in December 2005.

University of Tennessee - USDA Funding
In July 2004, we were selected to participate with the University of Tennessee in a Biomass Research Initiative project funded by the US Dept of Agriculture. First American Scientific Co. was identified as a key industry partner for its history of developing novel size reduction and separation processes. The research is underway. No new reports have been issued to date.
Accounting issues
Management believes that the carrying value of its technology licenses, patents and manufacturing rights are fairly stated at cost less amortization using the straight line method over 15 years based upon the estimated present value of cash flows and the Company's projections to sell at least two machines each year through 2006. The Company met this minimum sales target in fiscal year 2005, and has two contracts signed already in 2006. Sales are booked when the equipment is delivered.
Our auditors have issued a going concern statement because we do not have sufficient cash flow for us to maintain our operation for the next year. Consequently, our management will have to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings, loans, or other fund raising activities to maintain our operation should new sales and receipt of receivables not materialize. Some relief has come from deferment of payment of salaries and loans due to our senior management which aggregate approximately $ 270,350 as of September 30, 2005.
As of September 30, 2005 there were 184,208,955 shares issued and outstanding.
Results of Operations - Quarter ending September 30, 2005
Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 was $ 115,001 compared to $ 147, 646 for the same period last year. Sales efforts are ongoing with two contracts signed in the quarter.
Net losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 were $ 117,069 compared to a loss of $190,195 for the same period last year or less than $0.01 per share in each period. Efforts to increase revenue and to control and reduce operating costs are continual.
The company will participate in profits and royalties from three separate joint venture agreements as follows:
United Zeolite Products Ltd. Joint Venture - Halliburton contract
In February 2004, FASC became a 1/3rd partner, along with C2C Zeolite Corp and Zeotech Enviro Corp, in United Zeolite Products Ltd, a BC company formed to build and operate a specialty zeolite processing plant in Princeton, B.C. UZP has a $ 5,000,000 Cdn contract to supply of micronized zeolite to Halliburton Group Canada. In August 2004 Thelon Ventures Ltd., a Canadian company committed $ 450,000 Cdn in cash to UZP as a condition to become a fourth equal partner in UZP, thereby by reducing each of the existing partners' equity position to 25 % each of UZP's outstanding shares, but providing the balance of funds needed to complete the construction of the Princeton facility. As of the date of writing this report the building construction is complete and KDS equipment has been delivered is operational. To date no raw materials have been delivered to UZP
- 12 -
due to lack of funding needed to purchase additional material handling and drying equipment. This is ZEO's responsibility and they are attempting to remedy the situation. The Halliburton contract is being serviced through alternate means. No royalties or payments have been received to date.
Malaysian Joint Venture
In September 2004 the Company signed an agreement to form a new Malaysian company, FASC (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd to construct a fully operational palm waste processing plant to be 100 % financed by the Malaysian partners. Upon completion, FASC (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. will be granted exclusive license to market the KDS equipment in Malaysia. In addition to earning royalties for all KDS equipment sold in Malaysia, FASC will share equally in the operating profits of the joint venture and retain a 50 % ownership in FASC (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. A machine was purchased by FASCM and shipped to Malaysia in August 2004. Operation and evaluation of the equipment is now ongoing. The first KDS sale in Malaysia was to a biomass power plant, with the potential for 5 more sales to come. FASC earned approximately $ 15,000 in royalties on this sale. An update from Malaysia is expected in November 2005.
Alternative Green Energy Systems Inc - Joint Venture
In February 2004, AGES was granted a new 21 year exclusive license to design, manufacture and sell a large scale KDS 3000 machine for exclusive use in the pulp & paper industry in Canada, the USA and Europe. Plans for construction of the new KDS Model 3000 have been finalized and the first unit is being constructed. The smaller Model 250 test machine remains at Atlantic Packaging Ltd.'s paper recycling facility in Whitby, Ontario. In October 2005, AGES received $ 700,000 Cdn in new funding from its shareholders and has sufficient funds to complete the Flakeboard project. FASC did not participate in the September cash call by AGES thereby reducing its percentage ownership to 12 % , while effective October 19, 2005, Hydro Quebec Capitech Inc became the majority and controlling shareholder of AGES. FASC continues to support AGES in its efforts to make this project a success.
Other material contracts:
Waste Resources Action Program - UK
Under agreement with FASC, WRAP has agreed to provide up to $1,000,000 USD for the purchase and installation of one complete KDS system to be located at a local pulp mill in the UK and for market research, scientific research and re-design of supplementary systems for industry-specific applications. The site will be announced when details are finalized. FASC engineering staff will be working with WRAP for the duration of the project which will run for approximately 18 months. For the project, the KDS will be the key technology to dewater sludge and enable the separation and recycling of fibre and clay for a variety of applications. An evaluation is now ongoing and we are expecting a progress report in December 2005.
JP Steelplantech Co.- Japan
FASC has signed an exclusive license agreement for manufacturing and marketing the KDS System in Japan with JP Steelplantech Company of Yokohama, Japan. As part of the agreement JP Steel will pay licensing fee and will purchase and install a fully operational KDS at its facility in Yokohama to be used for sales demonstrations and research purposes. JP Steel will also pay a royalty for each machine manufactured and sold in Japan.
JP Steel Plantech Co. is a well established engineering and equipment manufacturing company formed by four Japanese steel industry giants in 2001; Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI), Hitachi Zosen (HITZ), JFE Engineering (JFE) and Sumitomo Heavy Industries (SHI).
- 13 -
City of Prince George, Canada
FASC has signed a Memorandum of Understanding the City of Prince George, BC, Canada to assist in solving its environmental cleanup problems with sewage sludge using the KDS Micronex system. This will be the first operation of its kind in the world where the strictly regulated Class B municipal sludge can now be cleaned, bagged and profitably sold to the public as a soil amendment" The initial runs will be monitored for three months, and if satisfactory, the city will establish a permanent facility and purchase up to 4 KDS Micronex machines.
Research and Development
We continue to focus on improving the KDS equipment' s processing capacity and improve efficiencies for several different applications. We have determined that processing of softer materials such as biomass and pulp sludge currently represent the highest and best use for our technology and the most probable to generate sales. With the funding provided by SDTC, WRAP, the USDA, FASCM, and now JP Steelplantech Co. and the City of Prince George, our research and testing will continue in developing more commercially viable applications for our technology.
Inflation
Inflation has not been a factor effecting current operations, and is not expected to have any material effect on operations in the near future.
Foreign Operations
We rent office space in West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada which serves as an administrative office and rent a sales office in Delta, British Columbia. We moved our demonstration facility to Abbotsford, British Columbia in August 2005. AGES shares office space in Montreal, Quebec with Thermix Combustions Systems.
Trends
Sales efforts are beginning to bring results with four systems sold in the last five quarters and two new sales contracted for delivery. Based upon the sale of a minimum of eight machines per year, plus royalties and license fees, we have projected sales of at least $ 1,500,000 to $ 2,000,000 next year .
