1.   Cameco Corporation
 
    Cameco Corporation is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The address of its registered office is 2121 11th Street West, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, S7M 1J3. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the period ended June 30, 2011 comprise Cameco Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Cameco”) and the Company’s interest in associates and joint ventures. The Company is primarily engaged in the exploration for and the development, mining, refining, conversion and fabrication of uranium for sale as fuel for generating electricity in nuclear power reactors in Canada and other countries. Cameco has a 31.6% interest in Bruce Power L.P. (BPLP), which operates the four Bruce B nuclear reactors in Ontario.
2.   Significant Accounting Policies
  (a)   Statement of Compliance
 
      These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are for part of the period covered by the first annual financial statements prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and IFRS 1, First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS 1”), has been applied. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies the Company expects to adopt in its December 31, 2011 financial statements. Those accounting policies are based on the IFRS and IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) interpretations that the Company expects to be applicable at that time.
 
      The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 were previously prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Accordingly, the comparative figures for 2010 were recast and an explanation of how the transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS has affected the financial statements of the Company is provided in note 3. Certain disclosures in addition to the minimum disclosure requirements under IAS 34 were added in order to highlight the changes from the Company’s 2010 annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. In 2012 and beyond, the Company may not provide the same amount of disclosure in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements as the reader will be able to rely on the annual consolidated financial statements which will be prepared in accordance with IFRS.
 
      These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 3, 2011.
  (b)   Basis of Presentation
 
      These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in Canadian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand except where otherwise noted.
 
      The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the statement of financial position: derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value, liabilities for cash-settled share-based payment arrangements are measured at fair value and the defined benefit asset is recognized as the net total of the plan assets.
 
      The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
 
      In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty are expected to be the same as those to be applied in the first annual IFRS financial statements.
 
      Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in note 6 of the March 31, 2011 condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

      Since the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 were previously prepared in accordance with GAAP, a summary of significant accounting policies was disclosed in note 2 of the March 31, 2011 condensed consolidated interim financial statements. The summary of accounting policies is a description of the accounting methods and practices that have been used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements and is presented to assist the reader in interpreting the statements contained herein. These accounting policies have been applied consistently to all entities within the consolidated group and to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
3.   Explanation of Transition to IFRS
 
    As stated in note 2(a), these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The accounting policies set out in note 2 of the March 31, 2011 condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been applied for all periods presented in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2011.
 
    In preparing its opening IFRS statement of financial position, the Company has adjusted amounts previously reported in financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. An explanation of how the transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS has affected the Company’s financial statements is set out in the following tables and the notes that accompany the tables.
 
    Elected IFRS 1 exemptions applicable to the presentation of the internal opening IFRS financial position
 
    Cameco has elected and applied the following IFRS 1 exemptions:
  (i)   Borrowing costs — IFRS 1 provides the option to apply IAS 23, Borrowing Costs (“IAS 23”), prospectively from the transition date to IFRS (January 1, 2010), or from a particular pre-transition date elected by the first time adopter. Borrowing costs may be capitalized on qualifying assets for which the commencement date for capitalization was on or after the date selected. The Company elected to apply IAS 23 prospectively from the date of transition to IFRS. Based on this election, Cameco expensed the borrowing costs capitalized before January 1, 2010 under Canadian GAAP and will capitalize borrowing costs incurred on qualifying assets for which the commencement date for capitalization is subsequent to January 1, 2010.
  (ii)   Decommissioning liabilities — The application of IFRIC 1, Changes in Existing Decommissioning, Restoration and Similar Liabilities (“IFRIC 1”), would require the Company to recalculate, retrospectively, the effect of each change in its reclamation provision prior to the date of transition, along with the impact on the related assets and depreciation. IFRS 1 provides the option to instead measure the liability and related depreciation effects as at the date of transition to IFRS. Cameco has elected to apply this exemption and calculated the impact on the statement of financial position as of January 1, 2010.
  (iii)   Employee benefits — IAS 19, Employee Benefits (“IAS 19”), requires extensive disclosures in respect of defined benefit plans. IFRS 1 provides an optional exemption that permits the first-time adopter to elect to provide these disclosures prospectively from the date of transition. The Company has elected to apply this exemption and will provide the full disclosures required by IAS 19 in its first annual consolidated financial statements prepared under IFRS.
  (iv)   Share-based compensation — IFRS 2, Share-Based Payments (“IFRS 2”), encourages application of its provisions to liabilities arising from cash-settled transactions that were settled before the transition date but only requires application to those transactions that will be settled after the transition date. The Company elected to apply IFRS 2 only to liabilities arising from share-based compensation transactions that existed at January 1, 2010.
  (v)   Business combinations — The application of IFRS 3, Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”), requires the restatement of all past business combinations in accordance with IFRS 3. IFRS 1 provides the option to apply IFRS 3 prospectively from the transition date, or from a particular pre-transition date elected by the Company. The Company elected to not restate any past business combinations and to apply IFRS 3 prospectively from the transition date.
  (vi)   Cumulative translation differences — IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, would require the Company to calculate currency translation differences retrospectively, from the date a subsidiary or associate was formed or acquired. IFRS 1 provides the option of resetting cumulative translations gains and losses to zero at the transition date. The Company elected to reset cumulative translations losses to zero through opening retained earnings at the transition date.

Notes to the reconciliations
The impact on deferred tax of the adjustments described below is set out in note (p).
a)   As a result of BPLP also transitioning to IFRS, Cameco has recorded its share of BPLP’s IFRS transition adjustments. BPLP’s transition adjustments relate largely to the recognition of previously unrecognized actuarial losses, as well as adjustments for changes in amounts eligible for capitalization, componentization of property, plant and equipment and the recognition of additional provisions as required under IFRS.
  (i)   BPLP’s policy choice under IFRS for defined benefit plans is to recognize all actuarial gains and losses in other comprehensive income. As a result of this policy choice, for all defined benefit plans existing at January 1, 2010, BPLP has recognized in retained earnings all cumulative actuarial losses. Cameco’s share of this adjustment was a decrease to retained earnings of $136,954,000.
 
      In 2005, BPLP sublet the four Bruce A reactors to a newly-formed partnership (the Bruce A Limited Partnership or “BALP”). BPLP continues to be responsible for the overall management of the site, including employment of the full workforce. BPLP and BALP entered into a services and cost sharing agreement to achieve an equitable allocation of certain operating costs, including employee pension and other post-retirement costs.
 
      As a result of being the employer of record, BPLP has legal liability for the pension and other post-retirement benefit plans and is required to recognize the entire amount of any actuarial gains and losses in other comprehensive income. These costs are shared with BALP through the services and cost sharing agreement with amounts recovered from BALP classified in earnings rather than other comprehensive income.
  (ii)   Unlike Canadian GAAP, IFRS requires the cost of major inspections and overhauls to be recognized in the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment. It also requires that components of an item of property, plant and equipment with different useful lives be accounted for and depreciated separately.
  (iii)   Under IFRS, unlike Canadian GAAP, provisions are required to be made when a constructive obligation exists. IFRS also varies from Canadian GAAP in its requirements for certain accruals to be made.
  The effects of the IFRS transition adjustments were as follows:

b)   Under IFRS, and similar to Canadian GAAP, changes to a decommissioning liability to recognize the passage of time (unwinding of the discount or accretion) are required to be recorded. Under Canadian GAAP, the accretion was recorded as an operating cost and allocated to inventory while under IFRS, the unwinding of the discount is required to be reflected as a finance cost and does not qualify for capitalization. The effect was as follows:

c)   Cameco has elected, under IFRS 1, not to apply IAS 23 retrospectively to borrowing costs incurred on the construction of qualifying assets that commenced prior to January 1, 2010. Accordingly, Cameco has derecognized all borrowing costs that had been previously capitalized under Canadian GAAP through a charge to retained earnings. In addition, based on this election, borrowing costs incurred subsequent to the date of transition on qualifying assets where the construction of the asset commenced prior to January 1, 2010 are being expensed as incurred. The effect was as follows:

d)   IFRS requires the reversal of any previously recorded impairment losses where circumstances have changed such that the impairments have been reduced. The reversal of impairment losses was prohibited under Canadian GAAP. In 2000, as a result of depressed uranium prices, Cameco recorded a write-down relating to certain in situ recovery mine assets located in the United States. The amount of the write-down was determined based on estimated future net cash flows and uranium price forecasts. As a result of the strengthening of uranium prices since 2000, Cameco reassessed these previously impaired assets and based on their value in use, determined that a portion of these previous write-downs should be reversed. The reversal of these impairment losses has been recognized in cost of sales in the statements of earnings and the effect was as follows:

  $ 34,484

e)   IFRS specifically precludes the inclusion of general overhead and administration expenses in the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment. Cameco reviewed the composition of its items of property, plant and equipment to assess whether the costs included related specifically to the construction of the asset, or whether they were general in nature and determined that certain costs should be expensed under IFRS. The effect of removing these costs from property, plant and equipment was as follows:

f)   Under IFRS, investments in equity-accounted investees are presented in the consolidated statements of financial position as a separate line item. Previously under Canadian GAAP, these investments were included in long-term receivables, investments and other. The effect of this reclassification was as follows:

Investments in equity-accounted investees
  $ 199,958

g)   Cameco’s policy choice under IFRS for defined benefit plans is to recognize all actuarial gains and losses in other comprehensive income. As a result of this policy choice, for all defined benefit plans existing at January 1, 2010, the Company has recognized in retained earnings $14,404,000 of cumulative actuarial losses. The effect was as follows:

h)   Under IFRS, in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) that meets the definition of an intangible asset is capitalized with amortization commencing when the asset is ready for use (i.e., when development is complete). Under Canadian GAAP, amortization of IPR&D capitalized as an intangible asset was commenced immediately, with the amortization period extending from the date of initial recognition to the date the completed asset will be available for use in commercial production. Cameco had been amortizing IPR&D related to the acquisition of its interest in equity-accounted investee GE-Hitachi Global Laser Enrichment LLC, a development-stage entity. Under IFRS, this amortization does not begin until development is complete. The effect of reversing this previously recognized amortization was as follows:

i)   Cameco has granted cash-settled phantom stock options to eligible non-North American employees. The Company applied IFRS 2 to its unsettled share-based compensation arrangements at January 1, 2010.
 
    Cameco accounted for these share-based compensation arrangements at intrinsic value under Canadian GAAP. The related liability has been adjusted to reflect the fair value of the outstanding cash-settled phantom stock options to be consistent with the Company’s accounting policies under IFRS. The effect of accounting for cash-settled share-based compensation transactions at fair value was as follows:

j)   Under IFRS, decommissioning liabilities and waste provisions are presented in the consolidated statements of financial position as part of provisions. Previously under Canadian GAAP, these obligations were presented separately as provision for reclamation and other liabilities. The effect of this reclassification was as follows:

Provision for reclamation
  $ 263,721

k)   Cameco has elected, under IFRS 1, not to retrospectively recalculate, under IFRIC 1, the effect of each change in its reclamation provision prior to January 1, 2010. Instead, the liability and related assets and depreciation were measured as at the date of transition. Accordingly, Cameco has recalculated the provision and estimated the amount that would have been adjusted to the cost of the related asset by discounting the liability at the date of transition back to the date when the liability first arose, using its best estimate of the historical risk free rate that would have applied over the intervening period. In addition, the Company has calculated the accumulated depreciation on that amount as at the date of transition to IFRS based on the current estimate of the useful life of the asset.

l)   IFRS requires that provisions such as those for environmental costs be recognized when it is probable that a restoration expense will be incurred and the associated costs can be reliably estimated. Where the liability will not be settled for a number of years, the amount recognized is the present value of the estimated future expenditure. Under IFRS, provisions for waste removal are measured initially at their present value using risk adjusted cash flows, with changes to the liability due to the passage of time (accretion) recorded as a finance cost. Under Canadian GAAP, discounting to reflect the time value of money is allowed, but not required. In the fuel services conversion processes, a certain amount of waste material is generated. Under Canadian GAAP, provisions for waste removal were measured using undiscounted estimated cash flows and recognized as an expense and a corresponding liability. The effect of discounting the provision upon transition to IFRS was as follows:

m)   Under IFRS, convertible debentures that contain a cash settlement feature are accounted for as a hybrid instrument with a debt component and a separate derivative representing the conversion option. The debt component is classified as a financial liability and accounted for at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, while the conversion option is accounted for as a derivative and recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings.
 
    Under Canadian GAAP, certain convertible debentures that contained a cash settlement feature were accounted for as a compound instrument with both a debt and equity component. Consistent with IFRS, the debt component was accounted for at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method; however, the conversion option was accounted for as an equity instrument with any changes in value not recognized.

    The effect of accounting for the conversion option as a derivative at fair value was as follows:

Retained earnings
  $ 297,400

n)   In accordance with IFRS 1, Cameco has elected to deem all foreign currency translation differences that existed at the date of transition to IFRS in respect of all foreign entities to be zero at the date of transition.
 
    The effect was to increase foreign currency translation (other components of equity) and to decrease retained earnings by $50,398,000 at June 30, 2010.
 
    In addition to the above, cash flow hedging reserves of $63,242,000 as at June 30, 2010 and available-for-sale assets reserves of $529,000 at June 30, 2010 have been reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income under Canadian GAAP to their respective reserve accounts within other components of equity under IFRS.
 
o)   Under IFRS, non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position as equity but are presented separately from the parent shareholders’ equity. Under Canadian GAAP, non-controlling interests were classified between total liabilities and equity and referred to as minority interest.

Under Canadian GAAP, a deferred tax liability (asset) was not recognized for the difference in tax bases between jurisdictions. Any taxes paid or recovered by the transferor were recognized as an asset or liability once the profit or loss was recognized by the consolidated entity. The IFRS adjustment is related to product sold by Cameco to subsidiaries and held in inventory at the transition date. The effect was as follows:

Explanation of material adjustments to the cash flow statement for 2010
Consistent with the Company’s accounting policy election under IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows, interest paid has been reclassified as a financing activity. Under Canadian GAAP, it had been capitalized and included with additions to property, plant and equipment as an investing activity. The amounts reclassified were $3,096,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $27,513,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
There are no other material differences between the cash flow statement presented under IFRS and the cash flow statement presented under Canadian GAAP.
4.   Accounting Standards
  (a)   New Standards and Interpretations not yet Adopted

The following standards and amendments to existing standards have been published but are not effective for the year ended December 31, 2011, and have not been applied in preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements:
  (i)   Financial Instruments
 
      In October 2010, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”). This standard is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and is part of a wider project to replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 replaces the current multiple classification and measurement models for financial assets and liabilities with a single model that has only two classification categories: amortized cost and fair value. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset or liability. The guidance in IAS 39 on impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting continues to apply. Cameco is assessing the impact of this new standard on its financial statements.
 
  (ii)   Consolidated Financial Statements
 
      In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”). This standard is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and establishes principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. IFRS 10 defines the principle of control and establishes control as the basis for determining which entities are consolidated in the consolidated financial statements. Cameco is assessing the impact of this new standard on its financial statements.
 
  (iii)   Joint Arrangements
 
      In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements (“IFRS 11”). This standard is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and establishes principles for financial reporting by parties to a joint arrangement. IFRS 11 requires a party to assess the rights and obligations arising from an arrangement in determining whether an arrangement is either a joint venture or a joint operation. Joint ventures are to be accounted for using the equity method while joint operations will continue to be accounted for using proportionate consolidation. Cameco is assessing the impact of this new standard on its financial statements.
 
  (iv)   Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
 
      In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (“IFRS 12”). This standard is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and applies to entities that have an interest in a subsidiary, a joint arrangement, an associate or an unconsolidated structured entity. IFRS 12 integrates and makes consistent the disclosure requirements for a reporting entity’s interest in other entities and presents those requirements in a single standard. Cameco is assessing the impact of this new standard on its financial statements.
 
  (v)   Fair Value Measurement
 
      In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”). This standard is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and provides additional guidance where IFRS requires fair value to be used. IFRS 13 defines fair value, sets out in a single standard a framework for measuring fair value and establishes the required disclosures about fair value measurements. Cameco is assessing the impact of this new standard on its financial statements.

19


 

  (vi)   Employee Benefits
 
      In June 2011, the IASB issued an amended version of IAS 19, Employee Benefits (“IAS 19”). This amendment is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and eliminates the ‘corridor method’ of accounting for defined benefit plans. Revised IAS 19 also streamlines the presentation of changes in assets and liabilities arising from defined benefit plans, and enhances the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. Cameco is assessing the impact of this revised standard on its financial statements.
 
  (vii)   Presentation of Other Comprehensive Income
 
      In June 2011, the IASB issued an amended version of IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”). This amendment is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012 and requires companies preparing financial statements in accordance with IFRS to group together items within OCI that may be reclassified to the profit or loss section of the statement of earnings. Revised IAS 1 also reaffirms existing requirements that items in OCI and profit or loss should be presented as either a single statement or two consecutive statements. Cameco is assessing the impact of this revised standard on its financial statements.

In 2008, as part of the ongoing annual audits of Cameco’s Canadian tax returns, Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) disputed the transfer pricing methodology used by Cameco and its wholly owned Swiss subsidiary, Cameco Europe Ltd. (CEL), in respect of sale and purchase agreements for uranium products. From December 2008 to date, CRA issued notices of reassessment for the taxation years 2003, 2004 and 2005, which have increased Cameco’s income for Canadian income tax purposes by approximately $43,000,000, $108,000,000 and $197,000,000 respectively. No reassessment received to date has resulted in more than a nominal amount of cash taxes becoming payable due to the availability of elective deductions and tax loss carrybacks. Cameco believes it is likely that CRA will reassess Cameco’s tax returns for subsequent years on a similar basis.
CRA’s Transfer Pricing Review Committee has not imposed a transfer pricing penalty for any year reassessed to date.
Having regard to advice from its external advisors, Cameco’s opinion is that CRA’s position is incorrect, and Cameco is contesting CRA’s position. However, to reflect the uncertainties of CRA’s appeals process and litigation, Cameco has recorded a cumulative tax provision related to this matter for the years 2003 through the current period in the amount of $29,000,000. No provisions for penalties or interest have been recorded. Cameco does not expect more than a nominal amount of cash taxes to be payable due to the availability of elective deductions and tax loss carryovers. While the resolution of this matter may result in liabilities that are higher or lower than the cumulative tax provision recorded, management believes that the ultimate resolution will not be material to Cameco’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity over the period. However, an unfavourable outcome for the years 2003 to 2010 could be material to Cameco’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows in the year(s) of resolution.
Further to Cameco’s decision to contest CRA’s reassessments, Cameco is pursuing its appeal rights under the Income Tax Act.

13. Stock Option Plan
The Company has established a stock option plan under which options to purchase common shares may be granted to officers and other employees of Cameco. Options granted under the stock option plan have an exercise price of not less than the closing price quoted on the TSX for the common shares of Cameco on the trading day prior to the date on which the option is granted. The options vest over three years and expire eight years from the date granted. Options have not been awarded to directors since 2003 and the plan has been amended to preclude the issue of options to directors.
The aggregate number of common shares that may be issued pursuant to the Cameco stock option plan shall not exceed 43,017,198, of which 26,452,479 shares have been issued.
Cameco records compensation expense with an offsetting credit to contributed surplus to reflect the estimated fair value of stock options granted to employees. For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the amount recorded was $2,375,000 (2010 — $1,325,000). For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the amount recorded was $9,620,000 (2010 — $6,322,000).

14. Commitments and Contingencies
  (a)   On February 12, 2004, Cameco, Cameco Bruce Holdings II Inc., BPC Generation Infrastructure Trust (“BPC”) and TransCanada Pipelines Limited (“TransCanada”) (collectively, the “Consortium”), sent a notice of claim to British Energy Limited and British Energy International Holdings Limited (collectively, “BE”) requesting, amongst other things, indemnification for breach of a representation and warranty contained in the February 14, 2003, Amended and Restated Master Purchase Agreement. The alleged breach is that the Unit 8 steam generators were not “in good condition, repair and proper working order, having regard to their use and age.” This defect was discovered during a planned outage conducted just after closing. As a result of this defect, the planned outage had to be significantly extended. The Consortium has claimed damages in the amount of $64,558,200 being 79.8% of the $80,900,000 of damages actually incurred, plus an unspecified amount to take into account the reduced operating life of the steam generators. By agreement of the parties, an arbitrator has been appointed to arbitrate the claims.
 
      The Consortium served its claim on October 21, 2008, and has amended it as required, most recently on August 7, 2009. BE served its answer and counter-statement on December 22, 2008, most recently amended on March 25, 2010, and the Consortium served its reply and answer to counter-statement on January 22, 2009, most recently amended on August 7, 2009.
 
      The Unit 8 steam generators require on-going monitoring and maintenance as a result of the defect. In addition to the $64,558,200 in damages sought in the notice of claim, the claim seeks an additional $4,900,000 spent on inspection, monitoring and maintenance of Unit 8, and $31,900,000 in costs for future monitoring and maintenance, as well as repair costs and lost revenue due to anticipated unplanned outages as a consequence of the defect in Unit 8. The initial claim had also sought damages for the early replacement of the Unit 8 steam generators due to the defect shortening their useful operating lives. However, subsequent inspection data and analysis of the condition of the Unit 8 steam generators indicates that they will continue to function until the end of the Consortium’s lease of the Bruce Power facility in 2018, as was expected at the time the MPA was entered into. The claim for early replacement was thus abandoned via an amendment to the claim on August 7, 2009. The arbitration hearing was completed on November 23, 2010 and final oral arguments were heard July 19 through 21, 2011 and a decision is pending.
 
      In anticipation of this claim, BE issued on February 10, 2006, and then served on Ontario Power Generation Inc. (“OPG”) and BPLP a Statement of Claim. This Statement of Claim seeks damages for any amounts that BE is found liable to pay to the Consortium in connection with the Unit 8 steam generator arbitration described above, damages in the amount of $500,000,000, costs and pre and post judgment interest amongst other things. Further proceedings in this action are on hold pending completion of the arbitration hearing.
 
  (b)   Annual supplemental rents of $30,000,000 (subject to CPI) per operating reactor are payable by BPLP to OPG. Should the hourly annual average price of electricity in Ontario fall below $30 per megawatt hour for any calendar year, the supplemental rent reduces to $12,000,000 per operating reactor. In accordance with the Sublease Agreement, BALP will participate in its share of any adjustments to the supplemental rent.

25


 

  (c)   Cameco, TransCanada and BPC have assumed the obligations to provide financial guarantees on behalf of BPLP. Cameco has provided the following financial assurances, with varying terms that range from 2011 to 2018:
  i)   Guarantees to customers under power sales agreements of up to $19,000,000. At June 30, 2011, Cameco’s actual exposure under these agreements was $15,000,000.
 
  ii)   Termination payments to OPG pursuant to the lease agreement of $58,300,000. The fair value of these guarantees is nominal.
  (d)   Under a supply contract with the Ontario Power Authority (“OPA”), BPLP is entitled to receive payments from the OPA during periods when the market price for electricity in Ontario is lower than the floor price defined under the agreement during a calendar year. On July 6, 2009, BPLP and the OPA amended the supply contract such that beginning in 2009, the annual payments received will not be subject to repayment in future years. Previously, the payments received under the agreement were subject to repayment during the entire term of the contract, dependent on the spot price in future periods. BPLP’s entitlement to receive these payments remains in effect until December 31, 2019 but the generation that is subject to these payments starts to decrease in 2016, reflecting the original estimated lives for the Bruce B units. During 2011, BPLP recorded $232,300,000 under this agreement which was recognized as revenue with Cameco’s share being $73,400,000.

The second agreement expires on December 31, 2027.
