Uranium Resources, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2006 (Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The accompanying statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full calendar year ending December 31, 2006.
Reverse Stock Split
On March 29, 2006 the Company’s Board of Directors declared a 1 for 4 reverse stock split for stockholders of record on April 10, 2006, effective April 11, 2006. The split was approved by stockholders at the 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. All common stock share amounts, earnings per share data and references to the common stock of the Company in this report are stated on a post-split basis.
2. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
During 2005 we were unable to produce sufficient pounds from Vasquez to satisfy our contracted delivery requirements. As a result of the lower production and the fixed costs of operations, our cost of production has exceeded the sales price under the contracts, and we have been losing money on each pound sold. In addition, because of chemical and permeability obstacles in the Vasquez formation we have been experimenting with different oxidizing components that have added to our costs. Our production costs per pound were $20.32 for all of 2005.
In March, 2006, we were delayed in securing additional financial surety for commencement of planned production from Wellfield 5 at Vasquez and the start-up of production from our Kingsville Dome project in South Texas. As a result of this delay, production for the first quarter of 2006 totaled only 55,000 pounds. The low production rate, coupled with the use of high cost oxidizing agents during the first two months of the quarter, resulted in production costs for the first quarter that was in excess of $40.00 per pound. The necessary financial surety to allow commencement of new production wellfields at our South Texas projects were secured in April 2006 following the equity infusion discussed in Footnote 10.
Our uranium production for 2006 is now forecasted at approximately 750,000 pounds as a result of the timing delays we encountered. Such production is expected to be 375,000 pounds from each of our Vasquez and Kingsville Dome projects. Our Kingsville Dome project commenced production at the end of April 2006, rather than at the beginning of the month as originally planned.
We have taken steps to improve the profitability of our uranium sales. We have renegotiated all of our supply contracts with Itochu and UG and have committed to each of them ½ of whatever our production is in Texas at a price that is based on the market price at the time of delivery less a discount. See “Long-Term Delivery Contracts” for a discussion of the terms of the revised contracts, including certain conditions thereto. We now expect our annual production from the Vasquez property to approximate 375,000 pounds, and we expect to receive approximately $32.00 to $33.00 per pound for these sales at current prices. We have substantially reduced the use of the high cost oxidizing agents to reduce our production costs at Vasquez and expect our production costs going forward to be in the range of $25.00 to $27.00 per pound.
Our uranium production in 2006 is forecast at approximately 750,000 pounds. Such production is expected to be 375,000 pounds from each of our Vasquez and Kingsville Dome projects.
7
We began production at Kingsville Dome in April 2006, and project sales from this project to commence in the second quarter of 2006. We expect the profitability from our Kingsville Dome production will be greater than that seen from our Vasquez production as a result of higher sales prices under our new contracts and lower costs of production than at Vasquez.
During 2006, the Company plans to continue its program begun in 2005 to purchase additional uranium resources through the acquisition of known uranium deposits within the South Texas uranium trend. These small deposits, ranging from 1.5 to 4 million pounds of uranium, are ideally suited for the Company’s satellite plant technology. The Company plans to feed the resulting production together with production from the Rosita property itself, some of which is currently permitted to produce, through the currently idle but fully permitted Rosita Plant. We believe the Rosita property has significant potential for additional production at the current market price for uranium. We plan to upgrade the Rosita Plant by the addition of an additional elution circuit and a yellowcake dryer. In addition, discussions are ongoing to obtain the exploration rights to certain large properties.
3. DISCLOSURE OF NON-CASH TRANSACTIONS
The following non-cash transaction occurred in the first quarter of 2006:
In March 2006, 103,895 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were issued in connection with the conversion of the Convertible Notes described in Footnote 6.
4. RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Restatement of Financial Statements
The Company determined that its long-term uranium sales contracts met the definition of derivative financial instruments for financial statement reporting purposes, and the financial statements have been restated as of December 31, 2003, to record these contracts at fair value.

5. CONTRACT COMMITMENTS
Amendment to Uranium Sales Contracts
In March 2006 we entered into a new contract with Itochu and a new contract with UG that supersede the existing contracts. Each of the new contracts calls for delivery of one-half of our actual production from our Vasquez property and other properties in Texas currently owned or hereafter acquired by the Company (excluding certain large potential exploration plays). The terms of such contracts are summarized below.
The Itochu Contract. Under the Itochu contract all production from the Vasquez property will be sold at a price equal to the average spot price for the eight weeks prior to the date of delivery less $6.50 per pound, with a floor for the spot price of $37 and a ceiling of $46.50. Other Texas production will be sold at a price equal to the average spot price for the eight weeks prior to the date of delivery less $7.50 per pound, with a floor for the spot price of $37 and a ceiling of $43. On non-Vasquez production the price paid will be increased by 30% of the difference between actual spot price and the $43 ceiling up to and including $50 per pound. If the spot price is over $50 per pound the price on all Texas production will be increased by 50% of such excess. The floor and ceiling and sharing arrangement over the ceiling applies to 3.65 million pounds of deliveries, after which there is no floor or ceiling. Itochu has the right to cancel any deliveries on six-month’s notice.
We have also entered into a letter of intent with Itochu to joint venture the development of our Churchrock property in New Mexico. See Footnote 10 — “Joint Venture for Churchrock Property.” We anticipate entering into a definitive joint venture agreement with Itochu by July 1, 2006. If the Company fails to use good faith efforts to negotiate and enter into such definitive agreement, the foregoing terms will terminate and the original contract terms will be reinstated effective for all deliveries after the occurrence of such determination. Under the terms of the joint venture, both parties must make an investment decision after the completion of a feasibility study, currently anticipated to occur around the end of 2006. If Itochu should terminate the venture at that time, we would no longer receive the additional price of 30% of the excess over $43 per pound outlined above. If we should terminate the venture at that time, the original contract terms will be reinstated from that time forward.
The UG Contract. Under the UG contract all production from the Vasquez property and other Texas production will be sold at a price equal to the month-end long-term contract price for the second month prior to the month of delivery less $6 per pound until (i) 600,000 pounds have been sold in a particular delivery year and (ii) an aggregate of 3 million pounds of Uranium has been sold. After the 600,000 pounds in any year and 3 million pounds total have been sold, UG will have a right of first refusal to purchase other Texas production at a price equal to the average spot price for a period prior to the date of delivery less 4%. In consideration of UG’s agreement to restructure its previously existing contract, we have agreed to pay UG $12 million in cash, subject to our ability to raise the cash. Funding for the $12 million payment was raised in April 2006 as a part of the private placement and the payment to UG was made in May 2006.

Impact of Amended Sales Contracts on Derivatives
The Company’s long-term uranium sales contracts prior to their amendment in March 2006 met the definition of derivative financial instruments for financial statement reporting purposes and are recorded on the balance sheet at December 31, 2005 and 2004 at fair value. Changes in the Company’s derivatives represent non-cash charges to earnings for the present value of the loss the Company would incur in the event it would be required to purchase uranium in the spot market to satisfy the delivery obligations under the uranium sales contracts. The amended contracts obligate the Company to deliver 50% of its uranium production to each customer, and do not obligate the Company to deliver any uranium in excess of its production. The Company has determined that the terms of the amended contracts substantially eliminates their qualification as derivatives and therefore, with the exception of the delivery of approximately 21,000 pounds under the UG contract, are not required to be valued at fair value. The amendment to these contracts resulted in a gain on derivatives recorded to the consolidated statements of operations in the first quarter of 2006 of $34.3 million. A liability of approximately $528,000 is recorded at March 31, 2006, for the liability associated with the remaining delivery obligation to UG of 21,075 pounds at a price of $15.50 per pound.
6. NOTES PAYABLE
Convertible Notes
In 2000, the Company issued a $135,000 Convertible Note due July 17, 2005 in settlement of certain outstanding claims. Interest of 6% per annum was due at maturity. The Company could prepay the Note at any time and the holder of the Note had the right to convert all principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $3.00 per share. In the third quarter of 2005, the maturity was extended to July 17, 2006, and the accrued and unpaid interest of $40,833 was added to the principal of the Convertible Note. The conversion price was reduced to $1.76 per share. In connection with these amended terms, the Company recorded interest expense of approximately $56,000 in 2005 related to the beneficial conversion terms of the modified Note. In March 2006, all of the principal and accrued interest ($182,900) under the note were converted into 103,896 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
Note Purchase Agreement
On March 28, 2005 the Company borrowed $600,000 from five (5) stockholders of the Company, each of whom may be considered an affiliate. The Notes were unsecured, with a maturity date of March 24, 2006 and bore interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Each of the Notes carried conversion rights entitling the holder the right to convert the face value of the Note plus accrued interest into shares of common stock of the Company at a price equal to the share price the Company received under subsequent debt or equity offerings. In the fourth quarter of 2005 each lender elected to convert their note and accrued interest into common stock of the Company. A total of 314,166 shares were issued at a share price of $2.00 per share.
7. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Adoption of SFAS 123(R)
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 123(R) “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”) using the modified prospective transition method. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 “Share-Based Payment” (“SAB 107”) in March, 2005, which provides supplemental SFAS 123(R) application guidance based on the views of the SEC. Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation cost recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted beginning January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, results for prior periods have not been restated.
The adoption of SFAS 123(R) resulted in stock compensation expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 of $397,000 to general and administrative expenses. The Company did not recognize a tax benefit from the
10
stock compensation expense because the Company considers it is more likely than not that the related deferred tax assets, which have been reduced by a full valuation allowance, will not be realized.
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was used to estimate the option fair values. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are, expected stock price volatility, the expected pre-vesting forfeiture rate and the expected option term (the amount of time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire). Expected volatility was calculated based upon actual historical stock price movements through the measurement date of the stock option grant. Expected pre-vesting forfeitures were estimated based on actual historical pre-vesting forfeitures over the most recent periods ending March 31, 2006 for the expected option term. The expected option term was estimated based on historical averages over the most recent periods ending March 31, 2006.
No options were granted in the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Pro-Forma Stock Compensation Expense for the Quarterly Period Ended March 31, 2005
Prior to 2006, the Company applied the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock options as prescribed by APB 25. Since all options granted prior to the quarter ended March 31, 2005 had an exercise price equal to the closing market price of the underlying common stock on the grant date, no compensation expense was recognized. If compensation expense had been recognized based on the estimated fair value of each option granted in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 148, our net loss and net loss per share would have been reduced to the following pro-forma amounts:
|
| Three Months |

No options were granted in the three months ended March 31, 2005.
Pro-forma compensation expense under SFAS 123, among other computational differences, does not consider potential pre-vesting forfeitures. Because of these differences, the pro-forma stock compensation expense presented above for the prior quarterly period ended March 31, 2005 under SFAS 123 and the stock compensation expense recognized during the current quarterly period ended March 31, 2006 under SFAS 123(R) are not directly comparable. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method of SFAS 123(R), the prior comparative quarterly results have not been restated.
Stock Options as of the Quarterly Period Ended March 31, 2006
The Company has four stock option plans, the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, the Director’s Stock Option Plan and the 2004 Directors’ Stock Option Plan. The Company will grant unissued common stock to satisfy future exercises under these plans.
The exercise price for the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) enables the Company to provide incentives to key employees to perform well in a difficult and rapidly changing environment in the Uranium mining industry. The 2004 Plan authorizes grants of incentive stock options and non-qualified options to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,750,000 shares of Common Stock. All options have a ten-year term. A majority of the stock options vest 25% immediately upon grant and 25% on the anniversary date of the grant thereafter.
11
The exercise price for the options granted under the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan has been the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date granted. The terms of the options are determined by the Board of Directors upon grant; however, no options may be exercised after a period of ten years.
The Directors’ Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of 5,000 stock options to each of the non-employee directors along with additional annual grants of stock options upon re-election as directors at the Company’s annual meeting or at June 1 of each year if no annual meeting is held.
Under the 2004 Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “2004 Directors’ Plan”), each non-employee director on the date the Plan is adopted shall be granted an option to purchase seventy-five thousand (75,000) shares of Common Stock. Each non-employee Director elected or appointed to the Board of Directors for the first time is granted an option to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock and, each Non-Employee Director shall be granted an option to purchase twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares either (a) upon his or her reelection at an annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders or (b) in any calendar year in which an annual meeting of stockholders is not held, on June 1 of such year.

9. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Convertible Notes
In March 2006, 103,896 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were issued in connection with the conversion of the Convertible Notes described in Footnote 6.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Equity Infusions
In April 2006, the Company completed the sale of 10,200,307 shares of its Common Stock at $4.90 per share to accredited investors resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $50 million before expenses of the offering. The Company has filed a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to register the resale of the shares. Such shares are subject to certain resale registration rights that include penalties (1% per month) in the event registration statement does not become effective in a timely manner or if the registration statement fails to remain effective. The placement agent in connection with the offering received a fee equal to 6% of the transaction, one-half in cash and one-half in shares of the Company’s Common Stock in connection with the placement.
Joint Venture for Churchrock Property
We have entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Itochu to joint venture the development of our Churchrock property in New Mexico, under which Itochu will fund all development costs currently estimated at $32 million, primarily through a debt facility that it will provide. Itochu and the Company will split the profits 50-50 and the Company will be the Managing Partner and receive a management fee. For revenues in excess of $30 per pound, the Company will receive additional payments under the joint venture. The Company estimates that the Churchrock property will yield about 12 million pounds of uranium. These terms are subject to the parties negotiating and signing a definitive agreement, and the parties are working towards the preparation and signing of the agreement by July 1, 2006. Under the terms of the joint venture, both parties must make an investment decision after the completion of a feasibility study. Itochu is funding $675,000 for the cost of the study.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Forward Looking Statements
This Item 2 contains “forward-looking statements”. These statements include, without limitation, statements relating to liquidity, financing of operations, continued volatility of uranium prices, estimates of future capital expenditures, and other such matters. The words “believes,” “expects,” “projects,” “targets,” or “estimates” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update, revise or correct any of the forward-looking information. Readers are cautioned that such forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s disclosures under the heading: “Cautionary Statements” in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A.
Restatement of Financial Statements - Derivatives
The financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, have been restated to give effect for fair value accounting of certain uranium sales under FAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company’s long-term uranium sales contracts prior to their amendment in March 2006 met the definition of derivative financial instruments for financial statement reporting purposes and are recorded on the balance sheet at December 31, 2005 and 2004 at fair value. Changes in the Company’s derivatives represent non-cash charges to earnings for the present value of the loss the Company would incur in the event it would be required to purchase uranium in the spot market to satisfy the delivery obligations under the uranium sales contracts. The amended contracts obligate the Company to deliver 50% of its uranium production to each customer, and do not obligate the Company to deliver any uranium in excess of its production. The Company has determined that the terms of the amended contracts substantially eliminates their qualification as derivatives and therefore, with the exception of the delivery of approximately 21,000 pounds under the UG contract, are not required to be valued at fair value. The amendment to these contracts resulted in a gain on derivatives recorded to the consolidated statements of operations in the first quarter of 2006 of $34.3 million. A liability of approximately $528,000 is recorded at March 31, 2006, for the liability associated with the remaining delivery obligation to UG of 21,075 pounds at a price of $15.50 per pound.
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Quarter Ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 Consolidated Results of Operations
Production and Sales. In the first quarter of 2006 we produced 55,378 pounds from our Vasquez property and sold 65,615 pounds compared to production from Vasquez of 92,830 and sales of 83,280 pounds in the first quarter of 2005. In the first quarter of 2006 we had revenues of $1.1 million ($16.29 per pound) and $1.7 million ($20.49 per pound) in the first quarter of 2005. First quarter 2005 revenues included $253,000 from the renegotiation of the contract price of sales made in 2004.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses and related royalties and commissions for Vasquez production sold in the first quarter of 2006 totaled $1.6 million and we incurred $19,000 of stand-by costs at the Rosita project that was charged to operations. Operating expenses and related royalties and commissions for Vasquez production sold in the first quarter of 2005 totaled $743,000; and we incurred $21,000 of stand-by costs at the Rosita project that was charged to operations.
Depreciation and Depletion. In the first quarter of 2006 we incurred $617,000 of depreciation and depletion cost for sales of our Vasquez production of $823,000 compared to $286,000 in the first quarter of 2005.
Cost of Goods Sold. Our average cost of pounds sold was $32.33 in the first quarter of 2006 compared to $10.96 in the first quarter of 2005. The cost of pounds sold includes operating expenses and depreciation and depletion. The cost for the first quarter of 2006 also includes $570,000 ($17.46 per pound) from a lower of cost or market adjustment for 32,600 pounds in inventory at March 31, 2006. There was no such inventory adjustment during the first quarter of 2005. Excluded from such costs for the first quarter of 2006 are $760,000 ($17.74 per pound) from a lower of cost or market adjustment made in December 2005 for 42,900 pounds in inventory at that date that were sold in the first quarter of 2006. There was no such lower of cost or market adjustment at year end 2004.
15
Accretion and Amortization of Future Restoration Costs. Accretion and amortization of future restoration costs in the first quarters of 2006 and 2005 totaled $133,000 and $75,000, respectively.
General and Administrative Charges. We incurred general and administrative charges and corporate depreciation of $963,000 in the first quarter of 2006 and $523,000 for the same period in 2005. The increase in these charges in 2006 resulted primarily from non-cash stock compensation expense, legal and other costs involved in the restructuring of our uranium sales contracts, insurance and personnel costs.
Net Earnings and Losses. For the first quarter ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, we had net earnings of $32.1 million and a net loss of $2.4 million respectively. The earnings in 2006 included a non-cash gain on derivatives of $34.3 million and other income of $170,000 from an agreement to update the feasibility study related to our Churchrock project in New Mexico funded by our partner. The loss in 2005 included a non-cash loss on derivatives of $2.4 million.
Cash Flow. As of March 31, 2006 we have a cash balance of approximately $466,000 compared to $660,000 at the same date in 2005.
In the first quarter of 2006, we had a negative cash flow from operations of ($290,000) and used $5.1 million in investing activities primarily for production start-up capital at Kingsville Dome of $3.3 million additional wellfield development at Vasquez and other plant and equipment additions of $1.4 million. In the first quarter of 2005, we generated cash flow from operations of $755,000, primarily from sales of 83,280 pounds of uranium from our Vasquez project. We also raised $600,000 in financing activities from the issuance of one year notes.
Our uses of cash in the first quarter of 2005 were made primarily on expenditures for property, plant and equipment at Vasquez of $688,000, additions to Kingsville Dome of $117,000 and other property additions in Texas and New Mexico of $133,000.
Liquidity – Cash Sources and Uses for 2006
Our uranium production in 2006 is forecast at approximately 750,000 pounds. Such production is expected to be 375,000 pounds from each of our Vasquez and Kingsville Dome projects. Our Kingsville Dome project commenced production in April 2006.
In April 2006 we raised $50 million by a sale of 10,200,307 shares of Common Stock at $4.90 per share in a private placement to selected accredited investors. In addition to the foregoing proceeds, the Company had $5.9 million in cash on hand at December 31, 2005 and projects $24 to $25 million of revenues from uranium sales in 2006 from of our Vasquez and Kingsville Dome production (assuming the current market price for uranium sales held constant for the year).
In addition to the $12 million paid to UG, we expect to use $10.6 million for ongoing Vasquez new wellfield development and related activities (including financial surety requirements of $1.8 million); $9.6 million for development and production activities to start-up production at Kingsville Dome (including financial surety requirements of $1.4 million); $8.3 million for refurbishment and expansion of the Rosita production plant and for Rosita wellfield development and production start-up; $.8 million for land acquisition and holding costs for our Texas and New Mexico properties; $.7 million for groundwater restoration at our Kingsville Dome and Rosita projects; $2.1 million for equipment and South Texas working capital; $4.5 million to cover working capital deficits prior to the end of the third quarter; and the balance for exploration, development and permitting in South Texas and further development of our South Texas and New Mexico properties.
We expect to have positive cash flow from operations by the end of the third quarter as a result of the restructuring of our sales contracts.
Contingent Liabilities—Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
In April 2006, the Company completed the sale of 10,200,307 shares of its Common Stock at $4.90 per share to accredited investors resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $50 million before expenses of the offering. The Company has filed a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to register
16
the resale of the shares. Such shares are subject to certain resale registration rights that include penalties (1% per month) in the event registration statement does not become effective in a timely manner or if the registration statement fails to remain effective.
The Company has obtained financial surety relating to certain of its future restoration and reclamation obligations as required by the State of Texas regulatory agencies. The Company has bank Letters of Credit (the “L/C’s) and performance bonds issued for the benefit of the Company to satisfy such regulatory requirements. The L/C’s were issued by Bank of America and the performance bonds have been issued by United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company (“USF&G”). L/C’s for $1.1 million and $944,000 were issued at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, such L/C’s are collateralized in their entirety by certificates of deposit.
Performance bonds totaling $2,835,000 were issued for the benefit of the Company at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. USF&G has required that the Company deposit funds collateralizing a portion of the bonds. The amount of bonding issued by USF&G exceeded the amount of collateral by $2,491,000 at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. In the event that USF&G is required to perform under its bonds or the bonds are called by the state agencies, the Company would be obligated to pay any expenditure in excess of the collateral.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A. We believe our most critical accounting policies involve those requiring the use of significant estimates and assumptions in determining values or projecting future costs.
Specifically regarding our uranium properties, significant estimates were utilized in determining the carrying value of these assets. These assets have been recorded at their estimated net realizable value for impairment purposes on a liquidation basis, which is less than our cost. The actual value realized from these assets may vary significantly from these estimates based upon market conditions, financing availability and other factors.
Regarding our reserve for future restoration and reclamation costs, significant estimates were utilized in determining the future costs to complete the groundwater restoration and surface reclamation at our mine sites. The actual cost to conduct these activities may vary significantly from these estimates.
Such estimates and assumptions 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 amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Uranium Price Volatility
The Company is subject to market risk related to the market price of uranium. The Company’s cash flow has historically been dependent on the price of uranium, which is determined primarily by global supply and demand, relative to the Company’s cost of production. Historically, uranium prices have been subject to fluctuation, and the price of uranium ahs been and will continue to be affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control, including the demand for nuclear power, political and economic conditions, governmental legislation in uranium producing and consuming countries and production levels and costs of production of other uranium producing companies.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company has determined that at December 31, 2005 its long-term uranium sales contracts met the definition of derivative financial instruments for financial statement reporting purposes, and as of such date, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of such derivatives recorded on the balance sheet are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in current earnings as they occur. Such changes in the Company’s derivatives represent non-cash charges to earnings for the present value of the loss the Company would incur in the event it would be required to purchase uranium in the spot market to satisfy the deliveries under both of its long-term uranium sales contracts.
The Company’s amended these contracts in March 2006. The amended contracts obligate the Company to deliver 50% of its uranium production to each customer, and do not obligate the Company to deliver any uranium in
17
excess of its production. The Company has determined that the terms of the amended contracts substantially eliminates their qualification as derivatives and therefore, with the exception of the delivery of approximately 21,000 pounds under the UG contract, are not required to be valued at fair value.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The management of the company has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (“Evaluation date”) and has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective based upon their evaluation as of the Evaluation date with the exception of a weakness in awareness of proper reporting for FAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities which resulted in restatement of the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. The Company intends to work more diligently to assure that errors of this type do not recur in the future.
There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls during our most recent quarter, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
