1.     CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS

Fourth Quarter. For the three months ended December 31, 2002, net earnings attributable to common shares were $22 million ($0.40 per share), a decrease of $6 million compared to $28 million ($0.50 per share) in 2001. This was attributable to reduced profits in the gold and uranium businesses which were the result of lower sales volumes and reduced gold production. (In 2001, fourth quarter uranium deliveries represented an unusually high 50% of the year’s sales volume.) These decreases were partially offset by improved results in the conversion business and higher earnings from Bruce Power. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2001, the effective tax rate increased to 53% from 48% as a higher proportion of pre-tax income was earned in the uranium and conversion businesses and there was minimal tax relief from the loss before tax in the gold segment.

Page 5

Earnings from operations were $44 million in the fourth quarter of 2002 compared to $59 million in 2001. The aggregate gross profit margin in the fourth quarter improved to 24% from 23% in 2001.

Year. For 2002, net earnings attributable to common shares were $46 million ($0.83 per share), a decrease of $10 million compared to $56 million ($1.01 per share) in 2001. The decline was attributable to the gold business where after-tax earnings declined by $27 million due to the failure of the pit wall at Kumtor in July. This decrease was partially offset by improved results in the uranium and conversion businesses where gross profits rose due to increased volumes and higher realized selling prices. Compared to 2001, the effective tax rate increased to 47% from 39% for the reasons noted above.

Earnings from operations were $89 million for 2002 compared to $95 million in 2001. The aggregate gross profit margin declined to 20% from 21% in 2001.

Cash flow from operating activities of $251 million was $135 million higher than in 2001 due to the normal course reduction of accounts receivable, higher sales volumes and a reduction in uranium inventories.

* Earnings before income taxes

Fourth Quarter. Revenue from the uranium business decreased by 20% to $199 million from $248 million in the fourth quarter of 2001 due to a 22% decline in sales volume offset marginally by a 2% increase in average realized price. As the timing of deliveries of uranium within a calendar year is at the discretion of customers, Cameco’s quarterly delivery patterns can vary significantly. Deliveries in 2001 were highly skewed to the fourth quarter.

The total cost of products and services sold, including depreciation, depletion and reclamation (DDR), was $158 million in the fourth quarter of 2002 compared to $194 million in 2001. This was attributable to the lower sales volume. On a per unit basis, the cost of product sold was 4% higher than in 2001 due to a greater proportion of sales of purchased material. In the fourth quarter of 2002, there were no care and maintenance costs recorded at Rabbit Lake compared to $2 million in the same period in 2001.

Page 6

Earnings before income taxes (EBT) from the uranium business were $37 million in the fourth quarter of 2002 while the gross profit margin declined to 21% from 22% in 2001.

Year. Revenue from the uranium business rose by 11% to $524 million from $471 million in 2001 due to an 11% increase in sales volume. The average realized selling price for uranium concentrates increased only marginally compared to 2001. On the other hand, in 2002, the spot price averaged $9.86 (US) compared to $8.77 (US) in 2001. The positive influence of this increase was offset by a lower average realized price on fixed-price contracts.

For 2002, the total cost of products and services sold, including DDR, was $428 million compared to $383 million in 2001, reflecting the increased sales volume. The average unit cost for uranium was 1% higher due to increased sales of purchased material and higher care and maintenance expenses at Rabbit Lake which were $8 million compared to $6 million in the prior year. Partially offsetting these increases was a reduced unit cost for McArthur River production which benefited from lower DDR due to higher reported reserves, and increased operating efficiencies.

EBT from the uranium business was $87 million in 2002 and the profit margin declined to 18% from 19% in 2001.

Fourth Quarter. Revenue from the conversion business increased by 13% to $50 million from $44 million in the fourth quarter of 2001. For the period, there was a 7% increase in sales volume and a 6% increase in realized price. As with uranium, quarterly delivery patterns can vary significantly.

The total cost of products and services sold, including DDR, was $27 million in the fourth quarter of 2002 compared to $31 million in 2001. This decline was attributable to a lower unit cost which decreased by 18% compared to 2001 due mainly to higher production, more favourable costs for purchased conversion services, and lower depreciation charges.

EBT from the conversion business was $22 million in the fourth quarter of 2002 compared to $12 million a year earlier.

Year. Revenue from the conversion business increased by 20% to $137 million from $114 million in 2001. This was attributable to a 17% increase in sales volume and a 3% increase in the realized selling price.

Page 7

The total cost of products and services sold, including DDR, was $92 million in 2002 compared to $86 million in 2001. This increase was attributable to the higher sales volume and was partially offset by a lower unit cost of services sold which declined by 8% due to the increase in production, lower cost of purchased conversion services and lower depreciation charges.

EBT from the conversion business was $42 million in 2002, compared to $26 million in 2001.

*     The comparative data from 2001 is for a 7.5-month period from May 12 to December 31.

Note: Capacity factor for a given period represents the amount of electricity actually produced for sale as a percentage of the amount of electricity the plants are capable of producing for sale.

Fourth Quarter. 5.2 terawatt hours of electricity was generated by the Bruce B reactors representing a capacity factor of 75%. Planned maintenance work on one reactor, which began in the third quarter, was completed at the end of the fourth quarter. Although generation output was marginally lower than the previous year’s fourth quarter, higher electricity prices resulted in revenues of $237 million.

During the quarter, the average spot electricity price in Ontario was about $51 per megawatt hour (MWh). About 40% of Bruce Power’s generation was sold on the spot market.

For the quarter, Cameco’s share of the earnings before taxes was $8 million.

Year. The operating year included a series of major planned outages to prepare the reactors for better long-term service. As a result, power generation by the Bruce B reactors was limited to 20.8 terawatt hours, reflecting a capacity factor of 75%. The average realized price was approximately $44/MWh compared to about $38 in 2001. Interest cost of $63 million included interest on the long-term lease and the deferred lease payments due to Ontario Power Generation Inc. (OPG).

In July, the failure of the pit wall at Kumtor brought about a significant revision to the mining plan for 2002. Mining of higher-grade ore was postponed due to the pit wall failure. Since July, Kumtor has been milling lower grades and achieving lower recovery rates. Production was reduced by about 172,000 ounces from the 2002 plan. The production decline also caused a large increase in the unit cash cost¹ which will continue until mid-2003 when the higher-grade ore is expected to become accessible.

Fourth Quarter. Revenue from the gold business declined by 25% to $22 million from $29 million in the fourth quarter of 2001 due mainly to a 24% decrease in volume sold. Cameco’s realized price for gold decreased to $304 (US) per ounce in 2002 from $317 (US) in 2001, due to less favourable hedge positions.

Gold production at Kumtor of 47,400 ounces (Cameco’s share) was 20% less than in the fourth quarter of 2001 due to a lower ore grade which averaged 4.0 grams per tonne (g/t) compared to 5.0 g/t in 2001. The recovery rate also decreased to 80% from 82% in 2001. As a result, Kumtor’s cash cost¹ per ounce was $220 (US) compared to $153 (US) in 2001.

For the quarter, the loss before tax was $2 million and the gross profit margin for gold was 2% compared to 28% in 2001.

Year. Revenue from the gold business declined by 24% to $87 million from $115 million in the prior year, reflecting a 28% decrease in sales volume which more than offset an increase in the average realized selling price. Cameco’s realized price for gold was $300 (US) per ounce in 2002 compared to $292 (US) in 2001.

Gold production at Kumtor of 176,200 ounces (Cameco’s share) was 30% lower than in 2001 due mainly to lower grade ore which averaged 3.7 g/t in 2002 compared to 5.1 g/t the year before. Production was also influenced by a lower recovery rate which decreased to 78% from

¹ As defined by the Gold Institute.

83% in the prior year. Kumtor’s cash cost¹ per ounce was $216 (US) in 2002 compared to $142 (US) in 2001.

The loss before tax was $3 million and the gross profit margin for gold was 10% in 2002 compared to 29% in 2001.

Corporate Expenses

During 2002, costs for administration increased by $5 million compared to 2001 due primarily to the administration costs of AGR Limited (AGR), control of which was acquired in March of 2002. Cameco owns 56% of AGR and consolidates AGR’s results in its financial statements. Exploration costs increased by $3 million as there was greater activity in both uranium and gold.

CASH FLOW

In 2002, Cameco generated cash from operations of $251 million ($4.50 per share) compared to $116 million ($2.10 per share) in 2001. This increase of $135 million largely reflects a normal course reduction of accounts receivable, higher sales volumes and the reduction in uranium inventories. (Due to the high volume of uranium deliveries late in 2001, accounts receivable were higher than usual at the end of that year. These were collected early in 2002.)

Cash used in investing activities decreased to $74 million in 2002 from $131 million in 2001. Significant investments include the Boroo project ($24 million) in 2002 and the initial investment in Bruce Power including inventory ($88 million) in 2001.

BALANCE SHEET

During the quarter, the company finalized a new three-year corporate lending facility with a group of major Canadian, US and other foreign lending institutions. The facility consists of a $200 million three-year unsecured revolving credit facility and a $225 million 364-day unsecured revolving credit facility with a two-year term-out option.

At December 31, 2002, total long-term debt decreased by $129 million to $225 million from $354 million at the end of 2001. At December 31, 2002, Cameco’s net debt to capitalization ratio was 8%, down from 15% at the end of the prior year.

During 2002, Cameco’s long-term receivables and investments balance increased by $14 million due primarily to additional contributions to Bruce Power. Cameco invested an additional $33 million during the year bringing its total cash investment in Bruce Power to $93 million. This supplemented Bruce Power’s cash resources for the Bruce A restart project.

The provision for reclamation has increased by $15 million mainly due to the purchase of the Smith Ranch in situ leach (ISL) mine in Wyoming by Cameco’s subsidiary, Power Resources, Inc. (PRI). The purchase price of $9 million (US) was satisfied by PRI assuming, and Cameco guaranteeing, the decommissioning liabilities associated with the mine.

Page 10

Cameco’s issue of preferred securities ($125 million (US)) is redeemable at par on or after October 14, 2003. At the present time, the company has not determined whether the issue will be redeemed in 2003.

Dividends

With an uninterrupted record of dividend payments since Cameco was publicly listed in 1991, the board of directors approved an increase in the dividend by 20% to $0.60 per common share annually beginning with a $0.15 payment for the first quarter of 2003.

Gold Hedging

The average spot market gold price during the fourth quarter of 2002 was $322 (US) per ounce compared to $314 (US) in the third quarter. Prices ended the year at $347 (US) per ounce.

Kumtor Gold Company (KGC) and AGR hedge the price risk for future gold sales. At the end of 2002, KGC had in place forward sales and option agreements on 769,400 ounces and AGR had in place forward sales on 200,000 ounces. Combined, these hedge positions represented about 22% of proven and probable reserves. Cameco’s share of these hedging agreements was 456,500 ounces consisting of 371,500 ounces in forward contracts, and a net position of 85,000 ounces in collars (matched puts and calls). These hedges are expected to yield average prices in the range of $310 (US) to $317 (US) per ounce. The mark-to-market loss on these hedge positions is fully guaranteed by Cameco and was $38 million (US) at December 31, 2002.

As of December 31, 2002, Cameco agreed to provide credit support to a maximum of $70 (US) per ounce to the counterparties of KGC and AGR. Cameco’s maximum financial exposure under these arrangements based on outstanding commitments was $61 million (US).

Timing differences between the usage and designation of hedge contracts may result in deferred revenue or deferred charges. At the end of 2002, Cameco’s share of deferred charges to be recognized totalled $4 million (US).

Foreign Exchange

During the quarter, the Canadian dollar strengthened against the US dollar from 1.5858 at the end of the third quarter to 1.5796 as of December 31, 2002.

Most of the company’s revenues are in US dollars. At December 31, 2002, Cameco had a foreign currency hedge portfolio of $499 million (US). These hedges are expected to yield an average exchange rate of 1.5870. The mark-to-market loss on these hedge positions was $10 million at December 31, 2002.

Timing differences between the usage and designation of hedge contracts may result in

deferred revenue or deferred charges. At the end of 2002, deferred charges to be recognized totalled $12 million.

2.     UPDATES ON MARKETS, OPERATIONS AND STRATEGY

The most significant factors affecting the financial performance of Cameco are:

• the market prices for U₃O₈, gold and electricity,

• sales volumes for uranium and conversion services, gold and electricity,

• foreign exchange rates between the Canadian and US dollars, and

• the unit costs of production.

Updates from the recent quarter on these key financial drivers are provided in the following discussions, and in some cases, in other sections of this report.

Uranium Market Update

Uranium Spot Market
The spot market volume for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 was approximately 5 million pounds U₃O₈, bringing the year-to-date total to about 19 million pounds. This compares to 6 million pounds and 19 million pounds respectively in the corresponding periods in 2001. Spot demand picked up at the end of the fourth quarter resulting in an increase in the spot price to $10.20 (US) per pound U₃O₈. This was a 7% increase over the price at the end of 2001.

Uranium Long-term Market
The long-term market continued to be active in the fourth quarter, with total long-term contracting for 2002 estimated at about 70 million pounds U₃O₈. The long-term price indicator, published by TradeTech, remained at $10.75 (US) per pound U₃O₈ throughout the third and fourth quarters.

UF₆ Conversion Spot Market
The industry average spot market price for uranium conversion services remained at $5.03 (US) per kgU throughout the quarter. This compares to $5.25 (US) per kgU throughout the fourth quarter of 2001.

Update on Uranium Market Trends and Developments
The Canadian government will grant a $328 million loan guarantee to help finance the completion of construction of Romania’s Cernavoda 2, a 630 megawatt (MW) CANDU reactor. Construction is about 40% complete and is expected to be finished in 2006, with operation to begin in 2007.

A final decision on whether to proceed with restart of construction on the 1,350 MW Angra 3 reactor in Brazil will be made by the new government, which took office in January 2003. A decision is expected following the submission of a report by Electronuclear in May 2003. Construction on the unit was halted in the mid 1980’s when it was 30% complete. If construction resumes, the plant is expected to start up in 2008.

Page 12

In Sweden, where the Barseback 2 unit is currently scheduled to be shut down in 2003, two separate reports have indicated that closure will result in higher electricity prices, possible winter electricity shortages, and increased carbon dioxide emissions. The government is expected to make a decision in the spring of 2003 on a possible shutdown of the reactor by the end of 2003.

In Japan, Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) had the operating license of one of its reactors suspended for a year as a penalty for falsification of inspection data in the early 1990’s. In addition, Tepco had several other reactors shut down for maintenance and inspection at the end of 2002. Tepco restarted several mothballed fossil-fuelled electric power stations to replace, in part, the capacity of the temporarily shutdown reactors.

Operations Update

Uranium Mining
McArthur River/Key Lake achieved production of 3.4 million pounds U₃O₈ (all volumes are Cameco’s share) in the quarter, reaching its target of 13.1 million pounds for the year. There was record mill production at Key Lake.

At Rabbit Lake, production in the fourth quarter was 0.9 million pounds U₃O₈. Despite difficult ground conditions, production rates improved through the quarter. For the year, mill production was 1.1 million pounds which was less than the planned amount of 3 million pounds.

Fuel Services
Fourth quarter production of 3,754 tonnes of conversion services slightly exceeded that of the same quarter in 2001. Annual production was 12,428 tonnes, a 13% increase over 2001.

Electricity Business
In November, the Ontario government announced a price cap of $43/MWh in the retail electricity market for smaller consumers. This has had no direct impact on the price in the wholesale electricity market into which Bruce Power sells its output. The announcement has increased market uncertainty for generators like Bruce Power.

On December 23, 2002, the company announced that, along with partners, it had signed a binding agreement to purchase 79.8% of Bruce Power Limited Partnership from British Energy plc (British Energy) which currently holds an 82.4% interest. The Power Workers’ Union and The Society of Energy Professionals will obtain the remaining 2.6%.

The agreement commits Cameco to purchase an additional 16.6% interest in Bruce Power for about $198 million, subject to minor closing adjustments, bringing its total interest to 31.6%. Cameco will also provide $75 million, representing its one-third share of $225 million deferred rent payments to OPG to be paid concurrent with the closing of the acquisition. Upon closing, Cameco’s total commitment in financial assurances is estimated to be about $200 

Page 13

million, including its share of financial assurance in relation to the operating license from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC), the lease with OPG and the power purchase agreements with large industrial customers.

Subject to a number of conditions, the closing of the agreement is scheduled to occur by February 14, 2003. One condition was satisfied with British Energy shareholders approving the agreement on February 10, 2003. There can be no assurance that other conditions to closing will be satisfied. For further details, please see the news release posted December 23, 2002 at www.cameco.com.

Gold Business
At Kumtor, the removal of pit wall material which collapsed in July continues on schedule toward a mid-2003 completion.

The company is seeking to consolidate its gold assets. Following the recent rise in gold prices, the evaluation of available options for asset consolidation has taken longer than previously anticipated but significant progress is expected by mid-2003. In the meantime, Cameco will continue to manage its gold assets to increase their value to its shareholders.

Cameco’s gold hedging strategy is being re-evaluated in the context of the company’s objectives for its gold assets and current market events.

3.     OUTLOOK FOR 2003

Uranium Production (Cameco’s share)

(000s lbs U3O8)	2003 Plan		2002 Actual
McArthur River/Key Lake		13,000		13,095
Rabbit Lake		6,000		1,143
Smith Ranch/Highland		1,100		887
Crow Butte		800		768
Total		20,900		15,893

Total mine production is expected to rise to 20.9 million pounds U₃O₈, up 5.0 million pounds over 2002 levels, due largely to a full year’s operation at Rabbit Lake.

At McArthur River/Key Lake, production of 13.0 million pounds U₃O₈ is planned for 2003. McArthur River high grade ore will continue to be blended with special waste rock at Key Lake to achieve an average mill feed of approximately 4% U₃O₈.

At Rabbit Lake, the Eagle Point underground mine is expected to produce 6.0 million pounds in 2003, from its remaining reserves of about 17.6 million pounds U₃O₈ . Prospects for additional reserves are being explored both from the surface as well as underground, where extensions to known ore have been identified.

At the US in situ leach operations, the Smith Ranch and Highland mines, which merged operations during 2002, have planned production of 1.1 million pounds while Crow Butte is expected to package 0.8 million pounds in 2003. At the Inkai development project in Kazakhstan, nominal production is expected as test mining continues through 2003.

Page 14

Uranium Market
Long-term contracting in 2002 is reported to be approximately 70 million pounds. In 2003, long-term market demand is expected to be similar to 2002.

Uranium Revenue and Margins
In 2003, Cameco’s uranium revenue is expected to rise nominally over the 2002 level as the result of a modest improvement in price. Although market prices have risen over the past two years, Cameco expects its average realized price will increase by only 2% in 2003. About 60% of Cameco’s long-term contracts contain pricing which references the spot price at the time of delivery. The remaining 40% of the contracts include base-escalated pricing; in 2003, the prices realized from these contracts are expected to average lower than in 2002 due to the expiration of more favourably priced contracts. At approximately 20% of western world requirements, Cameco’s sales volumes are projected to be similar to those for 2002. As well, uranium margins are expected to be similar to 2002.

For 2003 deliveries, a $1.00 (US) change in the U₃O₈ spot price from current levels would change revenue by about $27 million (Cdn), net earnings by about $15 million (Cdn) and cash flow by about $21 million (Cdn).

Conversion Business
At Port Hope, conversion production is expected to be approximately 12,200 tonnes, similar to 2002 levels.

Revenue from the conversion business is likely to be slightly lower than in 2002 as a change in the mix of contracts is expected to result in a decline in realized price and lower profit margins.

Electricity Business (Bruce Power)
Acquisition of Additional Interest
As discussed above, Cameco and its new partners are scheduled to complete the acquisition of British Energy’s interest in Bruce Power by February 14, 2003.

Bruce A Restart
An important milestone in the Bruce A restart program was achieved in early January 2003 when Bruce Power’s environmental assessment report was accepted by the CNSC. Also in January, Bruce Power reported to the CNSC on the status of licensing requirements for the Bruce A reactors. The final hearing on the Bruce A restart program is scheduled for February 26, after which it is expected that Bruce Power will receive approval to operate units 3 and 4.

On January 14, 2003, Bruce Power received permission from the CNSC to begin refuelling

Page 15

unit 4. The overall project remains on schedule for the restart of unit 4 in April and unit 3 in June 2003.

Operations
For the year, an average site capacity factor of about 88% is planned, slightly below the long-term target of over 90%.

Page 16

Capital Expenditures
In 2003, Bruce Power’s capital expenditure program, excluding the Bruce A restart, is expected to total about $165 million. In addition to sustaining capital expenditures of about $15 million annually per reactor, the main projects, which were in Bruce Power’s original business plan, include:

• a project to uprate the capacity of the B reactors (approximate annual expenditures in millions for 2003 to 2005: $15, $185, and $100), and

• the completion of the Bruce B environmental qualification program (to be completed in 2003 at an estimated expenditure of $30 million).

Over the next three years, annual capital expenditures, excluding the Bruce A restart program, are expected to average about $245 million.

Bruce Power’s internal cash flow is expected to be sufficient to fund its 2003 capital programs including the restart of two Bruce A reactors.

Gold Business
For 2003, production at Kumtor is expected to be 670,000 ounces (Cameco’s share is one-third), with 35% anticipated to occur in the first half of the year. This represents a 25% increase over 2002 due to an increase in average ore grade to 5.4 grams per tonne. The improvement in the grade is based upon regaining access to the high-grade ore buried when the pit wall collapsed in July 2002. The unit cash cost is expected to decline by about 15% to $180 (US) per ounce due to the higher production volume. A change of $10 (US) per ounce in the spot market price for gold from the year-end price of $347 (US) would change Cameco’s revenue by about $2 million (Cdn).

At Boroo, mine construction is proceeding at a slower than expected pace with some construction and procurement activities behind schedule. Development costs to commercial production are estimated to be $63 million (US), an increase from the original estimate of $40 million (US). About half of the increase relates to a change in the operating plan from a contractor-supplied mine equipment fleet to one where AGR purchases the fleet. Mine operating costs will therefore be lower. The remainder of the increase is due to improvements in the processing facilities. About 40% of the budget was spent to the end of January 2003. The project schedule is under review and commercial production may not be achieved until early 2004.

In 2003, total capital expenditures, excluding the additional investment in Bruce Power, are expected to amount to $162 million, an increase of $72 million over 2002. In 2003, most site sustaining capital expenditures are higher than normal due to mill modifications at Key Lake, the acquisition of Smith Ranch, and the volume of projects at Fuel Services.

For development projects, Cameco’s share of expenditures at Cigar Lake is estimated at $9 million. In 2003, CNSC approval of the construction license is not expected before October. After receipt of the license, the partners are expected to make a decision on when to proceed with mine development.

At Inkai, reserve data and analysis and test mining are expected to continue through most of the year. A feasibility study has begun and is expected to be completed by the end of 2003.

First Quarter of 2003
Consolidated revenue in the first quarter of 2003 is expected to be lower than in the first quarter of 2002 reflecting reduced deliveries in the uranium, conversion and gold segments. However, earnings from the uranium and conversion segments are projected to show an improvement over the first quarter of 2002 due to higher realized prices. As well, earnings from Bruce Power, based on Cameco’s 15% interest, are expected to be higher than in the first quarter of 2002 due to increased output and improved prices. On the other hand, earnings from the gold business are projected to decline, compared to the same quarter in 2002, due to lower production. Consolidated earnings for the first quarter of 2003 are expected to be higher than those recorded in the same period last year.

DIVIDEND ANNOUNCEMENT

Cameco also announced today that its board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 (Cdn) per common share payable on April 15, 2003 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 31, 2003. This is an increase of 2.5 cents over the quarterly rate Cameco has paid since 1991, increasing the annual rate from $0.50 to $0.60.

Cameco Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1.	Accounting Policies These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and follow the same accounting principles and methods of application as the most recent annual consolidated financial statements, except as noted below. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with Cameco’s annual consolidated financial statements included in the 2001 annual report.
	Stock-Based Compensation Effective January 1, 2002, Cameco adopted the new CICA Handbook Section 3870, which requires that a fair value based method of accounting be applied to direct awards of stock to employees. Under the new standard Cameco is allowed to continue its existing policy of recording no compensation cost on the grant of stock options to employees with the addition of pro forma information. Cameco has applied the pro forma disclosure provisions of the new standard to awards granted on or after January 1, 2002. The pro forma effect of awards granted prior to January 1, 2002 has not been included.
	The standard requires the disclosure of pro forma net earnings and earnings per share information as if the entity had accounted for employee stock options under the fair value method. The fair value of the options issued was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free rate of 5.0%; dividend yield of 1.2%; a volatility factor of the expected market price of Cameco’s shares of 20.0%; and a weighted-average expected option life of five years. On February 26, 2002, Cameco granted 489,050 options at a strike price of $43.84. The fair value of these options was determined to be $10.83 per share. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is being amortized to earnings over the vesting period. The total charge has been adjusted for an expected forfeiture rate of 17%. For the three months ended December 31, 2002, Cameco’s pro forma net earnings attributable to common shares were $21.5 million, basic earnings per share were $0.38 and diluted earnings per share were $0.38. For the year ended December 31, 2002, Cameco’s pro forma net earnings attributable to common shares were $43.9 million, basic earnings per share were $0.79 and diluted earnings per share were $0.79.
2.	Property and Business Acquisitions (a) AGR Limited On March 5, 2002, Cameco acquired a 52% interest in AGR Limited (AGR). AGR is an Australia-based exploration company whose principal asset is a 95% interest in the Boroo gold deposit located in Mongolia. The Boroo project is currently in the development stage. The purchase price was financed with $12.0 million (US) in cash and the contribution of a neighboring property. In exchange, AGR issued 240 million shares to Cameco. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method and the results of operations are included in Cameco’s consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the purchase. The values assigned to the net assets acquired are as follows:

	(Millions (Cdn))
Cash and other working capital	$	13.9
Property, plant and equipment		27.0
Minority interest		(19.0	)
Net assets acquired	$	21.9
Financed by:
Cash	$	19.6
Property, at carrying value		2.3
	$	21.9

Subsequent to the acquisition, Cameco provided an additional $3.0 million (US) of further exploration in the area in exchange for an incremental 4% interest in AGR (43 million shares), increasing its total interest to 56% at December 31, 2002.

2.	Property and Business Acquisitions (continued) (b) Smith Ranch On July 22, 2002, Cameco acquired the assets comprising the Smith Ranch in-situ leach (ISL) operation and various other ISL properties from Rio Algom Mining LLC. In exchange for these assets, Cameco assumed the decommissioning liabilities associated with the Smith Ranch operation. At the acquisition date, the value of the liabilities was estimated to be $9.2 million (US). Cameco also secured forward sales commitments for more than 900,000 pounds of uranium concentrates which will yield prices in excess of current long-term indicators. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method and the results of operations are included in Cameco’s consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the purchase.
(c)	UEX Corporation On July 18, 2002, Cameco acquired a 35.3% ownership interest in UEX Corporation (UEX), a company traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). The principal assets of UEX consist of several uranium exploration properties located in the Athabasca region of Northern Saskatchewan. In acquiring this interest, Cameco transferred its Hidden Bay exploration properties to UEX in exchange for approximately 31 million shares. In addition, Cameco purchased another 2 million shares at a price of $0.25 per share.
	Cameco recorded a gain of $2.7 million on the transfer of its Hidden Bay properties to UEX. The equity method is being used to account for this investment.
3.	Investment in Bruce Power L.P. (Bruce Power) On December 23, 2002, Cameco, TransCanada PipeLines Limited (TransCanada) and the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement Board (OMERS) amongst others, signed a Heads of Agreement with British Energy plc (British Energy) to purchase its share of Bruce Power. The Master Purchase Agreement with respect to the transaction was completed on January 17, 2003. The transaction is expected to close in February of 2003. It is subject to several conditions including the approval of British Energy’s shareholders, the consent of CNSC and clearance under the Canadian Competition Act.
	Upon closing, Cameco will increase its ownership interest in Bruce Power from 15% to 31.6%. Each of Cameco, TransCanada and OMERS will directly or indirectly hold a 31.6% interest in Bruce Power with the Power Workers’ Union Trust holding a 4% interest and the Society of Energy Professionals Trust holding a 1.2% interest. Cameco’s purchase price for the additional interest in Bruce Power will be approximately $198,000,000 subject to closing adjustments. It is intended that the purchase price will be financed with cash and debt.
	In addition, Cameco, TransCanada and OMERS have agreed to loan Bruce Power funds to repay $225,000,000, plus accrued interest, in deferred lease payments to OPG. Cameco, TransCanada and OMERS will also assume British Energy’s obligations to provide financial guarantees required by the operator licenses, the lease agreement and the power sales contracts. Upon closing, it is estimated that Cameco’s financial assurances to Bruce Power will be approximately $200,000,000. Bruce Power is economically dependent upon its partners to provide necessary financial guarantees. Currently, the government of the United Kingdom, as guarantor of British Energy’s obligations, has temporarily provided $261,000,000 of support in the form of letters of credit to Bruce Power. Failure to complete the above transaction may result in the inability of Bruce Power to continue operations and to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Cameco believes it has reasonable remedies available to realize the value of its investment in Bruce Power should the proposed transaction fail to close as anticipated and should British Energy be unable to provide the support and assurances required.
