8 URANIUM ENERGY CORP. (An Exploration Stage Company) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JANUARY 31, 2008 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS ________________________________________________________________________________ Uranium Energy Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated on May 16, 2003 in the State of Nevada. The Company owns a 100% interest in UEC Resources Ltd. ("UEC Resources"), a private company incorporated in the province of British Columbia, Canada on December 21, 2007. Since November 1, 2004, the Company has acquired mineral leases and entered into joint venture agreements, directly and under options, for the purposes of exploring for economic deposits of uranium in the States of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming. To January 31, 2008, interests in approximately 59,756 net acres of mineral properties have been staked, leased or are under option by the Company, including 6,717 gross acres leased by Cibola Resources LLC of which the Company holds a 49% interest equating to 3,291 net acres. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company commenced operations on May 16, 2003 and has not realized any significant revenues since inception. As at January 31, 2008, the Company has working capital of $7,106,987 and an accumulated deficit of $42,952,259. Existing cash resources are currently not expected to provide sufficient funds through the upcoming year, the capital expenditures required to achieve planned principal operations may be substantial. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to continue operations. The Company is in the exploration stage of its mineral property development and to date has not yet established any proven mineral reserves on its existing properties. The continued operations of the Company and the recoverability of the carrying value of its assets is ultimately dependent upon the ability of the Company to achieve profitable operations. To date, the Company has completed private placements and received funding through the exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants for net proceeds of $31,437,954 from the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock. UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB of Regulation S-B. They do not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the seven months ended July 31, 2007 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, Form 10-KSB/A, and Form 10-KSB/A2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-KSB, Form 10-KSB/A, and Form 10-KSB/A2. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the six months ended January 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending July 31, 2008. NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ________________________________________________________________________________ BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Uranium Energy Corp. (incorporated in the State of Nevada, USA) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, UEC Resources Ltd. (incorporated in the province of British Columbia, Canada). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. 9 USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the period reported. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant. Significant areas requiring management's estimates and assumptions are determining the fair value of transactions involving common stock, valuation and impairment losses on mineral property acquisitions, valuation of stock-based compensation, and valuation of available-for-sale securities. Other areas requiring estimates include allocations of expenditures to resource property interests and depreciation of property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates. MINERAL PROPERTY COSTS The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased. At the end of each fiscal quarter end, the Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment. If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis. Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards. Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred. As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and incurred only acquisition and exploration costs. RESTORATION AND REMEDIATION COSTS (ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS) Various federal and state mining laws and regulations require the Company to reclaim the surface areas and restore underground water quality for its mine projects to the pre-existing mine area average quality after the completion of mining. In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which established a uniform methodology for accounting for estimated reclamation and abandonment costs. Future reclamation and remediation costs are accrued based on management's best estimate at the end of each period of the costs expected to be incurred at each project. Such estimates are determined by the Company's engineering studies calculating the cost of future surface and groundwater activities. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other current monetary assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Company's operations and financing activities are conducted primarily in United States dollars, and as a result the Company is not subject to significant exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. Management has determined that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk. LOSS PER COMMON SHARE Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings (loss) of the Company. The common shares potentially issuable on conversion of outstanding convertible debentures and exercise of stock options were not included in the calculation of weighted average number of shares outstanding because the effect would be anti-dilutive. 10 FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The functional currency of the Company is United States dollars. UEC Resources Ltd. maintains its accounting records in their local currency (Canadian dollar). In accordance with SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation", the financial statements of the Company's subsidiary is translated into United States dollars using period end exchange rates as to monetary assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Non-monetary assets are translated at their historical exchange rates. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange translations and foreign currency exchange gains and losses on transactions occurring in a currency other than the Company's functional currency are included in the determination of net income in the period. INCOME TAXES The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment. As at January 31, 2008 the Company had net operating loss carry forwards; however, due to the uncertainty of realization, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance for the potential deferred tax assets resulting from these losses carry forwards. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS No. 123R), Share-Based Payment, which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. In January 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, which provides supplemental implementation guidance for SFAS No. 123R. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and instead generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton ("BSM") option-pricing model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards under SFAS No. 123R, consistent with that used for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company has elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS No. 123R and accordingly prior periods have not been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS No. 123R. The modified prospective transition method requires that stock-based compensation expense be recorded for all new and unvested stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase plan shares that are ultimately expected to vest as the requisite service is rendered beginning on January 1, 2006 the first day of the Company's fiscal year 2006. Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair-value as determined under the pro forma provisions of SFAS No. 123. On a quarerly basis, the Company estimates expected forfeitures and updates the valuation accordingly. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company measured compensation expense for its employee stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25. The Company applied the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, as if the fair-value-based method had been applied in measuring compensation expense. Under APB Opinion No. 25, when the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options was equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense was recognized. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives at the following rates: Computer Equipment 3 years Exploration Equipment 5 years Furniture and Fixtures 5 years Leasehold Improvements term of lease Vehicles 5 years 11 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In July 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"). This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements during the current period. In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 157 on its financial position and results of operations. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities". This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position and results of operations. NOTE 3: RESTRICTED CASH ________________________________________________________________________________ Restricted cash included certificates of deposit issued to the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, Land Quality Division, in lieu of a surety bond.

As of January 31, 2008 the Company reported the available-for-sale securities at market value and accordingly, recorded a $113,663 unrealized gain which has been reported in other comprehensive income, net of income taxes. NOTE 5: MINERAL EXPLORATION PROPERTIES ________________________________________________________________________________ URANIUM EXPLORATION Since November 1, 2004, the Company has been acquiring mineral leases for the purpose of exploring for economic deposits of uranium in the states of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming. As of January 31, 2008, a total of 67,491 gross acres (59,756 net mineral acres) of mineral properties have been staked. leased or optioned pursuant to agreements by the Company in the States of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming for the purposes of uranium exploration for a total cost of $4,869,230 excluding the fair value of non-cash compensation. The totals include 3,291 net acres (6,717 gross acres leased by Cibola Resources LLC of which the Company holds a 49% interest). These leases are subject to varying royalty interests, some of which are indexed to the sale price of uranium. As of January 31, 2008, total yearly recurring maintenance payments of $282,246 are required to maintain existing mineral leases. 12 GOLIAD PROJECT On October 11, 2005, the Company entered into a mineral asset option agreement (the "Moore Option") granting the Company the option to acquire certain mineral property leases in the State of Texas for total consideration of $200,000 and 3,000,000 post-split restricted common shares at a fair value of $0.33 per share. In consideration for the Moore Option and its partial exercise over the option term, the Company has made cash payments totaling $200,000 and issued 3,000,000 post-split shares of restricted common stock. Upon completion of the terms of the Moore Option title to the leases were transferred to the Company. HOLLEY OPTION On March 28, 2007 the Company entered into a letter option agreement (the "Holley Option") granting the Company the option to acquire certain mineral property leases, which are located in the States of Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah, together with certain historical database records for total consideration of $1,594,690. Under the terms of the Holley Option, and in order to maintain its option to acquire the assets, the Company is required to make the following option payments totaling $1,500,000 to the order and direction of the Holley Option holders in the following manner: (a) an initial payment of $25,000 on the execution date (paid); (b) a payment of $100,000 on March 28, 2007 (paid); (c) a payment of $475,000 on or before April 27, 2007 (paid); (d) a further payment of $500,000 on or before April 27, 2008; and (e) a final payment of $400,000 on or before April 27, 2009. Upon execution of the Holley Option the Company also reimbursed the Holley Option holders with approximately $95,000 in prior regulatory fees and property payments. In addition, the Company will be required to pay a royalty of 2% or 3% of the gross proceeds received from the sale of any uranium or vanadium produced in relation to any mineral claim covered under the Holley Option and, at any time during the option period or thereafter, the Company may elect to purchase the royalty interest at a base cost of $300,000 for each 1% interest it wishes to acquire. CIBOLA RESOURCES LLC On April 27, 2007, with a reference date of April 26, 2007, the Company entered into a joint venture with Neutron Energy Inc. ("NEI"), a Wyoming corporation, in connection with the exploration of a property covering 6,717 acres located in Cibola County, New Mexico (the "Property") for uranium resources. In connection with the joint venture, Cibola Resources LLC ("Cibola"), a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware, was formed to undertake the exploration activities as contemplated by the parties. NEI acquired a ten year mining lease (the "Lease") to the Property from La Merced del Pueblo de Cebolleta ("Cebolleta"), a private entity that has the authority over the natural resources of the Property, pursuant to a Mining Lease and Agreement between Cebolleta and NEI effective April 6, 2007 (the "Mining Lease Agreement"), and has contributed the Lease to Cibola. Terms of the Lease provide for: (a) initial payments of $3,000,000 (paid by NEI, of which 49% was reimbursed to NEI by the Company); (b) an additional cash payment of $2,000,000 six months from the effective date of the Lease ($980,000 paid, being the Company's portion); (c) every year after April 6, 2007 until uranium production begins, an advance royalty of $500,000 (to be deducted from any royalties paid in that same year); (d) a recoverable reserve payment of $1 per pound of recoverable uranium reserves upon the completion of a feasibility study by an independent mining engineering firm, which will be reduced by all prior payments as described in clause (a) through (c) above; (e) a production royalty of between 4.50% and 8.0% depending upon the sale price of uranium; and (f) the funding of a $30,000 per year scholarship program. The Company has reimbursed an aggregate of $2,450,000 to NEI (49%) of the capital invested to date. As a result, NEI and the Company hold a 51% and 49% interest, respectively, in Cibola and the Company is obligated to pay 49% of all future commitments under the terms of the Lease. Additionally, the Company has paid $119,137 in exploration costs on behalf of Cibola for a cumulative contribution of $2,569,137. As an exploration stage company, Cibola has no assets or liabilities as of January 31, 2008 and accordingly, $2,486,750 in acquisition costs have been capitalized while other contributions of exploration costs have been charged to mineral property expenditures. In December 2003, FASB issued FIN 46(R) "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" which requires investors to consolidate the financial information of investees in which they are the primary beneficiary. The Company is not the primary beneficiary in Cibola and accordingly, no consolidated financial information is required. 13 NEW RIVER PROJECT Effective November 1, 2007, the Company entered into a binding letter Agreement to Purchase Assets (the "Agreement") with Melvin O. Stairs, Jr. ("Mr. Stairs"), whereby the Company acquired from Mr. Stairs an undivided 100% legal, beneficial and registered interest in and to a certain mineral exploration claim represented by permit number 08-111678, which is located at T7N R3E, Section 32, in Maricopa County, Arizona (the "Mineral Claim"), together with a certain database containing various material information respecting the subject Mineral Claim (the Mineral Claim and its database, collectively, the "Assets"). As consideration for acquisition of the Assets, the Company has agreed to make the following payments (each a "Purchase Price Payment") and the following Mineral Claim maintenance payments (each a "Purchase Price Maintenance Payment") to Mr. Stairs in the following manner at the following times after November 1, 2007 (the "Acceptance Date"): (a) Purchase Price Payments: pay to the order and direction of Mr. Stairs the following Purchase Price Payments in the aggregate sum of U.S. $1,200,000 in the following manner and at the following times: i) an initial and non-refundable Purchase Price Payment of U.S. $10,000 immediately upon the Acceptance Date of the Agreement (paid); ii) further non-refundable Purchase Price Payments of U.S. $95,000 on or before January 10, 2008 (paid) and August 15, 2008; and iii) further non-refundable Purchase Price Payments of U.S. $100,000 every six months commencing on or before January 10, 2009 and ending August 15, 2013. (b) Purchase Price Maintenance Payments: pay, or cause to be paid, all outstanding, existing and future underlying regulatory and governmental fees, payments and assessment work required to keep the Mineral Claim interests comprising the Assets in good standing during the continuance of the Agreement and prior to our satisfaction of the entire Purchase Price consideration and including, without limitation, all permitting costs, transfer fees and any reclamation costs associated in any manner with the Mineral Claim interests comprising the Assets. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, in order to secure the complete and timely payment of our purchase price obligations to Mr. Stairs under the Agreement, the Company granted a security interest in and to, a lien upon and a right of set-off against its right, title and interest in and to the Assets. In addition, and pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, at any time prior to the earlier of the payment of the entire Purchase Price by us to Mr. Stairs or the termination of the Agreement for any reason, the Company has a right of first refusal to acquire all or any portion of any interest in the Agreement or to any mineral property interest which Mr. Stairs may have an interest in at anytime and which Mr. Stairs desires to dispose of (collectively, the "Holding"). If Mr. Stairs receives a BONA FIDE offer to purchase from, or where a sale is solicited by Mr. Stairs, then upon settling the proposed terms thereof with a third party for the purchase or sale of the Holding, Mr. Stairs shall offer to sell the Holding to the Company. The offer to sell to the Company shall be on the same terms and conditions and of equivalent dollar value as those contained in the offer to the third party; provided, however, that should Mr. Stairs and the Company fail to agree upon a determination of the equivalent dollar value for any such offer, such equivalent dollar value shall be determined by arbitration under the provisions of the Agreement. The Company shall be entitled to elect, by notice to Mr. Stairs within 30 calendar days from the date of receipt of the offer to sell, to acquire the Holding, on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the offer to the third party. If the Company does not exercise its right to acquire the Holding, Mr. Stairs may, for a period of 60 calendar days following the last date upon which it could have made the election, dispose of the Holding, but only on the same terms and conditions as set forth in that offer. F-33 ACQUISITION On November 13, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire certain mineral property leases located in Cibola County, New Mexico for total consideration of $400,000. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid an initial deposit of $100,000 upon closing with the remaining balance due in three installments of $100,000 due on March 31, 2008, December 31, 2008, and December 31, 2009. At the Company's option, the final two installments may be paid in stock, based on the average trading price of its common stock over the 10 days immediately preceding the due date. 14

The common stock continued to have a $0.001 par value after the Forward Stock Split. 2008 SHARE TRANSACTIONS On December 12, 2007 the Company completed a private placement in the amount of 1,800,000 Units at a subscription price of $3.75 for gross proceeds to the Company of $6,750,000. Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one non-transferable share purchase warrant of the Company. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional common share of the Company for a period of one year from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $4.25 per share. The December 12, 2007 private placement included a registration rights agreement, requiring a registration statement respecting the investors' securities within the Company declared effective by the SEC within four months from the original date of issuance by the Company of the securities underlying the original subscription agreements. Under the terms of the registration rights agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement for a period of not less than three years from the original date of issuance. If the Company failed to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement for the three year period, additional warrants could be issuable as as liquidated damages.

At the time of issuance, the shares had a value of $4.46 per share and $44,600 was recorded as stock-based consulting fees. Additionally, on January 24, 2008 the Company issued 7,500 restricted common shares pursuant to the same agreement. At the time of issuance, the shares had a value of $2.42 per share and $18,150 was recorded as stock-based consulting fees.

These warrants were issued as liquidated damages resulting from the Company's delay in not having a registration statement respecting the investors' securities within the Company declared effective by the SEC within four months from the original date of issuance by the Company of the securities underlying the original subscription agreements. This additional warrant issuance was provided for under the terms of the original subscription agreements whereby 1/100 of an additional warrant was issuable to each such investor for each $1.00 in aggregate subscription price funds paid by the investor to the Company under the private placement and in respect of each 30 day period (or partial period thereof) of delay of the aforementioned registration statement effectiveness. Each resulting warrant now entitles the holder thereof to purchase an additional share of the Company's restricted common stock under the same terms as the original warrants issued at the closing of the private placement in December of 2006. Under the terms of the subscription agreements, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement for a period of not less than nine months from the June 15, 2007 effective date. If the Company failed to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement for a period of eight months from the initial deadline of April 22, 2007, additional warrants could be issuable.

These carry forwards will begin to expire, if not utilized, commencing in 2023. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry forwards. The Company reviews its valuation allowance requirements on an annual basis based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and this causes a change in management's judgment about the recoverability of future tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in current income. A reconciliation of income tax computed at the federal and state statutory tax rates and the Company's effective tax rate is as follows: ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Six Months Six Months Ended Ended January 31, 2008 January 31, 2007 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Federal income tax provision at statutory rate (35.00)% (35.00)% States income tax provision at statutory rates, net of federal income tax effect (5.48)% (5.48)% ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Total income tax provision (40.48)% (40.48)% ============================================================================================ The actual income tax provisions differ from the expected amounts calculated by applying the combined federal and state corporate income tax rates to the Company's loss before income taxes.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS In this Quarterly Report, references to "we," "our," "us," the "Company," or "Uranium Energy," refer to Uranium Energy Corp. and its subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with (i) our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, including our audited financial statements and the related notes contained therein; (ii) our Transition Report on Form 10-KSB for the period ended July 31, 2007, as amended, including our audited financial statements and the related notes contained therein; and (iii) our unaudited interim financial statements for the three-month period January 31, 2008 and the related notes included herein. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Our financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. GENERAL We were organized under the laws of the State of Nevada, USA on May 16, 2003. Our shares of common stock commenced trading on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "UEC" on September 28, 2007, prior to which they traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "URME". OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS We are a natural resource exploration and development company engaged in the exploration and development of properties that may contain uranium minerals in the United States. Our strategy is to acquire properties that are thought to contain economic quantities of uranium ore and have undergone some degree of uranium exploration but have not yet been mined. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have acquired interests in uranium exploration mineral properties totaling 67,491 gross acres (59,756 net mineral acres) of leased, staked or optioned mineral properties, consisting of claim blocks located in the States of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming, which we intend to explore for economic deposits of uranium. The totals include 3,291 net acres (6,717 gross acres) leased by Cibola Resources LLC in which the Company holds a 49% interest. These leases are subject to varying royalty interests, some of which are indexed to the sale price of uranium. Many of these properties have been the subject of historical exploration by other mining companies. We believe that our properties are prospective for mineral exploration based on either prior exploration conducted by other companies, or management information and work products derived from various reports, maps, radioactive rock samples, exploratory drill logs, state organization reports, consultants, geological study, and other exploratory information. Our principal mineral properties are the Goliad project in Goliad County, Texas and the Cibola Resources LLC Cebolleta joint venture project in Cibola County, New Mexico. The acreage and location of our mineral properties is summarized as follows: ____________________________________________________ GROSS ACRES NET ACRES (*) ____________________________________________________ Arizona 2,871.28 2,871.28 Colorado 5,041.04 5,041.04 New Mexico 29,872.06 22,986.86 Texas 10,015.24 9,165.25 Utah 2,226.94 2,226.94 Wyoming 17,464.23 17,464.23 ____________________________________________________ 67,490.79 59,755.61 ==================================================== (*) Certain of our interests in our mineral properties in Texas and New Mexico are less than 100%. Accordingly, we have presented the acreage of our mineral properties on a net acre basis. 22 During the 2008 fiscal year through the date of this Quarterly Report, we acquired an additional 12,495 gross acres (12,063 net acres) in the States of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Wyoming for an aggregate paid consideration of $1,608,673. We plan to use our database of exploration data in order to target additional exploration properties for acquisition. For the remainder of the 2008 fiscal year, we plan to acquire further acres of mineral properties consisting of claim blocks located in, but not limited to the states of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Utah and Wyoming. Our ability to complete these acquisitions will be subject to obtaining sufficient financing and being able to conclude agreements with the property owners on terms that are acceptable to us. These potential acquisition properties have not yet been specifically identified. Our properties do not have any reserves. We plan to conduct exploration programs on these properties with the objective of ascertaining whether any of our properties contain economic concentrations of uranium that are prospective for mining. As such, we are considered an exploration or exploratory stage company. Since we are an exploration stage company, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties, and a great deal of further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility for our future exploration is determined. We have no known reserves of uranium or any other type of mineral. Since inception, we have not established any proven or probable reserves on our mineral property interests. OUR MINERAL EXPLORATION PROPERTIES We are participating in our mineral properties in the States of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Utah and Wyoming by way of mining claims and mineral leases. Certain properties were staked and claimed by us and registered with the United States Bureau of Land Management ("BLM"). Claim blocks acquired in this manner exist in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming. We have surface access and complete mineral rights to an unlimited depth below surface. The claims are in effect for an indefinite period provided the claims are kept in good standing with the BLM and the counties. Annual maintenance fees to be paid to the BLM are relatively nominal. We will also be required to remediate the land upon release of the claim - bringing the land back into the state it was originally, prior to the commencement of our exploration activities. These costs are determined by the BLM and bonded accordingly. In the States of New Mexico, Utah and Texas, we are participating in our mineral properties by way of property lease directly from the owners of the land/mineral rights. These leases give us similar access and privileges as described above, however with some important differences. Although we will have access to the surface, the mineral rights below surface are restricted to uranium and associated fissionable minerals only, with any other minerals and hydro carbons, including, for example, petroleum, retained by the lessor. The lease terms are for five years, and include five-year renewal periods. After the expiration of the second five-year term, the leases will be either held by production or the leases will be terminated. These leases are subject to varying royalty interests, some of which are indexed to the sale price of uranium at the time of production. Royalty payments must be made to the lessor in the event that we extract uranium ore from the properties. All royalties are based on the gross sales revenue less certain charges and fees. These properties do not have any indicated or inferred minerals or reserves. We plan to conduct exploration programs on these properties with the intent to prove or disprove the existence of economic concentrations of uranium. Since inception, we have not established any proven or probable reserves on our mineral property interests. RECENT EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES GOLIAD During the 2008 fiscal year and through the date of this Quarterly report, we continued the initial confirmation drilling at our 100% controlled Goliad project in Goliad County, Texas (the "Goliad Lease"). Our drilling program consists of ongoing drilling in order to confirm and expand the existence of historically drill-indicative resources on the property (as identified by Moore Energy Corporation during the 1980's) and extending historically identified mineralized trends. 23 As of the date of this Quarterly Report, current drilling is filling in gaps and defining boundaries within the historically delineated ore bodies as originally developed by Moore Energy Corporation in the 1980s based on 190,000 feet of drilling in approximately 450 holes. To date, our drilling has concentrated in the areas of the A and B Sand ore bodies, with a further total of 743 holes drilled, consisting of 258,595 feet. On March 4, 2008, we issued a news release entitled "Uranium Energy Corp Reports Independent NI 43-101 Resource Estimate at Goliad Project." This news release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on the same day. As described in more detail in the news release, we have received an updated technical report (the "Technical Report") in accordance with the provisions of National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), of the Canadian Securities Administrators for our Goliad Project located in Goliad County, Texas. The complete Technical Report is expected to be filed under our company's profile on the Canadian Securities Administrators public disclosure website, at WWW.SEDAR.COM, within 45 days of the date the news release was disseminated. The Technical Report is authored by Thomas A. Carothers, P.Geo., a qualified person as defined in NI 43-101, who has over 30 years of uranium experience, substantially in the South Texas Uranium trend. His experience includes working directly for two operating ISR mining companies in South Texas, US Steel and Tenneco Uranium, during the 1970s and 1980s. As required by NI 43-101, the Technical Report contains certain disclosure relating to measured, indicated and inferred mineral resource estimates for the Company's Goliad Project. Such mineral resources have been estimated in accordance with the definition standards on mineral resources of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum referred to in NI 43-101. Measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources and inferred mineral resources, while recognized and required by Canadian regulations, are not defined terms under the SEC's Industry Guide 7, and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Accordingly, we have not reported them in this prospectus or otherwise in the United States. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral resources in these categories will ever be converted into mineral reserves. These terms have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. In particular, it should be noted that mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability It cannot be assumed that all or any part of measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources or inferred mineral resources discussed in the news release and Technical Report will ever be upgraded to a higher category. In accordance with Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of the reported measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources or inferred mineral resources referred to in this news release and in the Technical Report are economically or legally mineable. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2008 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2007 We are an exploration stage company and net revenues during the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 were $Nil. Our net loss for the three months ended January 31, 2008 was $4,936,262 compared to a net loss of $4,596,614 during the same period ended January 31, 2007. Operating expenses incurred during the three months ended January 31, 2008 increased to $4,909,547 from $4,691,294 over the same period ended January 31, 2007. The increase is primarily due to the expansion of current operations and the corresponding change in administration and exploration costs associated with the increased acquisition and development of our uranium properties and related infrastructure, which was partially offset by the decrease in stock-based compensation expenses. Significant expenditures and changes are outlined as follows: o Consulting fees increased to $147,169 during the three months ended January 31, 2008 from $86,023 during the same period ended January 31, 2007 due primarily to increased reliance on third party service providers as we expand our operations. 24 o Consulting fees - stock based decreased to $213,279 during the three months ended January 31, 2008 from $544,544 during the same period ended January 31, 2007.

Interest and other income decreased to $63,386 during the three months ended January 31, 2008 from $94,680 during the same period ended January 31, 2007 due to higher cash balances maintained during the prior period. Deferred tax expense increased to $90,101 during the three months ended January 31, 2008 from $Nil during the same period ended January 31, 2007. The deferred tax benefit is calculated on the estimated unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities in the current fiscal period which is reflected in other comprehensive income. Our net loss during the three months ended January 31, 2008 was $4,936,262 or ($0.13) per share, compared to a net loss of $4,596,614 or ($0.14) per share during the same period ended January 31, 2007.

Additionally, an aggregate of $267,000 was incurred as stock-based compensation based on the fair value of options granted to officers and directors during the period. At January 31, 2008 there were no amounts due and owing to our directors and officers. A balance of $9,020 for the reimbursement of administrative costs at January 31, 2008 is due from companies controlled by direct family members of a current officer and a current director. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. At January 31, 2008 we had $6,788,969 in cash and working capital of $7,106,988. Generally, we have financed our operations through the proceeds from the private placement of equity securities and the exercise of stock options and warrants. We used $2,294,484 net cash during the six months ended January 31, 2008. OPERATING ACTIVITIES Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended January 31, 2008 was $6,562,647 compared to $3,304,586 during the same period ending January 31, 2007. Significant operating expenditures during the current period included mineral property expenditures, and general and administrative costs. FINANCING ACTIVITIES Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2008 was $6,632,758 compared to $14,284,450 during the same period ending January 31, 2007. During the current period, we received net proceeds of $6,201,198 primarily from the sale our our common stock pursuant to private placements. INVESTING ACTIVITIES Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2008 was $2,364,595 compared to $603,978 in the same period ending January 31, 2007. Significant investing expenditures during the current period included mineral property acquisitions, including the $980,000 payment related to the Cibola Resources LLC agreement, and purchases of property and equipment. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS At January 31, 2008 we had 4,397,500 stock options and 5,761,763 share purchase warrants outstanding. The outstanding stock options have a weighted average exercise price of $1.85 per share and the outstanding warrants have a weighted average exercise price of $3.15 per share. Accordingly, as of January 31, 2008 the outstanding options and warrants represented a total of 10,159,263 shares issuable for proceeds of approximately $26,300,000 if these options and warrants were exercised in full. The exercise of these options and warrants is completely at the discretion of the holders. There is no assurance that any of these options or warrants will be exercised. PLAN OF OPERATION AND FUNDING Existing working capital is not expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next twelve months. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity and debt instruments and the exercise of Stock Options and Warrants. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) uranium exploration operating activities; (ii) possible future reserve definition; (iii) possible future mining initiatives on current and future properties; and (iv) future possible property acquisitions. We intend to finance these expenses with further issuances of securities, and debt issuances. We expect we will need to raise additional capital to meet long-term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations. 27 GOING CONCERN We commenced operations on May 16, 2003, and have not realized any significant revenues since inception. As at January 31, 2008 we have working capital of $7,106,988 and an accumulated deficit of $42,952,259. Existing cash resources are currently not expected to provide sufficient funds through the upcoming year, the capital expenditures required to achieve planned principal operations may be substantial. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to continue operations. We are in the exploration stage of our mineral property development and to date have not yet established any known mineral reserves on any of our existing properties. Our continued operations and the recoverability of the carrying value of our assets is ultimately dependent upon our ability to achieve profitable operations. To date we have completed private placements and exercised stock options for net proceeds of $31,437,954 from the issuance of shares of the our common stock. MATERIAL COMMITMENTS EPOCH FINANCIAL CONSULTING AGREEMENT On February 1, 2007, we entered into a financial consulting agreement with Epoch Financial Group, Inc.

In addition, we will be required to pay a royalty of 2% or 3% of the gross proceeds received from the sale of any Uranium or Vanadium produced in relation to any mineral claim covered under the Holley Option and, at any time during the option period or thereafter, we may elect to purchase the royalty interest at a base cost of $300,000 for each 1% royalty interest it wishes to acquire. CONSULTING AGREEMENT On April 6, 2007 the Company entered into a twelve month consulting services agreement valued at $10,000 per month. The consultant will provide representation before the executive and legislative branches of the federal government and state governments in addition to providing consulting services on political matters. As of December 1, 2007 our monthly fee paid to the consultant has been reduced to $5,000 per month. 28 CIBOLA RESOURCES LLC On April 27, 2007, we entered into a joint venture (the "Joint Venture") with Neutron Energy Inc., a Wyoming corporation ("NEI") in connection with exploration of property covering 6,717 acres located in Cibola County, New Mexico (the "Property") for uranium resources. In connection with the Joint Venture, Cibola Resources LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Cibola"), was formed for purposes of undertaking exploration activities contemplated by the Joint Venture. On April 6, 2007, NEI and La Merced del Pueblo de Cebolleta, a private entity that has authority over the natural resources of the Property ("Cebolleta"), entered into a mining lease agreement (the "Mining Lease Agreement"), pursuant to which NEI acquired the mining lease to the Property from Cebolleta (the "Lease") for cash payments of $3,000,000. As of June 30, 2007, we have reimbursed NEI an aggregate of $1,470,000. As a result, we have a 49% equity interest in Cibola and NEI has a 51% equity interest in Cibola, respectively. NEI contributed the Lease to Cibola Resources LLC. Under terms of a Letter Agreement (the "Letter Agreement") between Cebolleta and NEI, further payments to the order and direction of Cebolleta are required as follows: (a) $2,000,000 six months from the effective date of the Letter Agreement (paid $980,000, being the Company's portion); (b) $500,000 representing an advanced royalty, every 12 months from the effective date of the Letter Agreement until uranium production begins (to be deducted from any royalties paid in that same year); (c) $1.00 per pound upon an independent mining engineering firm's completion of a feasibility study, and all prior payments made to Cebolleta will be credited to the recoverable reserve payment; (d) 4.50% to 8.00% production royalty payments depending upon the uranium sale price; and (e) $30,000 per year towards a scholarship fund. We are required to contribute 49% of the aforementioned payments in order to retain our interest in the Joint Venture. Through the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company has paid $2,486,750 in acquisition costs and an additional $119,137 in exploration costs on behalf of Cibola for a cumulative contribution of $2,569,137. CONSULTING AGREEMENTS On September 6, 2007 we entered into an agreement for media distribution services valued at approximately $270,000. Under the terms of the agreement, we paid a retainer of $100,000, with the balance of the agreement due upon completion of the services. NEW RIVER PROJECT ACQUISITION On November 1, 2007 we entered into a binding letter Agreement to Purchase Assets with Melvin O. Stairs, Jr. ("Mr. Stairs"), for a mineral exploration claim and related database information located in Maricopa County, Arizona. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will pay total consideration of $1,200,000 including i) a $10,000 deposit upon execution (paid), ii) installments of $95,000 cash on January 10, 2008 (paid) and August 15, 2008, and iii) installments totaling $100,000 on January 10 and August 15 of each year for the period from January 10, 2009 through August 15, 2013. Additionally, the Company has granted the seller security interest on the acquired assets until the agreement is paid in full. F-33 ACQUISITION On November 13, 2007, we entered into an agreement to acquire certain mineral property leases located in Cibola County, New Mexico for total consideration of $400,000. Under the terms of the agreement, we paid an initial deposit of $100,000 upon closing with the remaining balance due in three installments of $100,000 due on March 31, 2008, December 31, 2008, and December 31, 2009. At our option, the final two installments may be paid in stock, based on the average trading price of our common stock over the 10 days immediately preceding the due date. MANAGEMENT FEES We are committed to pay our key executives a total of approximately $450,000 per year for management services. 29 OFFICE LEASES We are currently leasing office premises in New Mexico, Texas, and Wyoming for monthly payments totaling $10,882. All office lease agreements having a maximum term of no more than three years. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have: (i) any obligation arising under a guaranteed contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the period reported. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant. Significant areas requiring management's estimates and assumptions are determining the fair value of transactions involving common stock, valuation and impairment losses on mineral property acquisitions, valuation of stock-based compensation, and valuation of available-for-sale securities. Other areas requiring estimates include allocations of expenditures to resource property interests and depreciation of property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates. MINERAL PROPERTY COSTS We are primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred in accordance with EITF 04-2, "Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets". At the end of each fiscal quarter end, we assesses the carrying costs for impairment under SFAS 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets". If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis. Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards. Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have not established any proven or probable reserves on our mineral properties and incurred only acquisition and exploration costs. RESTORATION AND REMEDIATION COSTS (ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS) Various federal and state mining laws and regulations require us to reclaim the surface areas and restore underground water quality for our mine projects to the pre-existing mine area average quality after the completion of mining. In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which established a uniform methodology for accounting for estimated reclamation and abandonment costs. 30 In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation 47 ("FIN 47"), "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations"--an interpretation of FASB No. 143. FIN 47 clarifies that the term "conditional asset retirement obligation" as used in SFAS No. 143 refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement. FIN 47 requires a liability to be recognized for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Future reclamation and remediation costs are accrued based on management's best estimate at the end of each period of the costs expected to be incurred at each project. Such estimates would be determined by our engineering studies calculating the cost of future surface and groundwater activities. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION Our functional currency is United States dollars. Our subsidiary, UEC Resources Ltd. maintains its accounting records in their local currency (Canadian dollar). In accordance with SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation", the financial statements of our subsidiary is translated into United States dollars using period end exchange rates as to monetary assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Non-monetary assets are translated at their historical exchange rates. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange translations and foreign currency exchange gains and losses on transactions occurring in a currency other than our functional currency are included in the determination of net income in the period. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In July 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"). This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements during the current period. In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS 157 on our financial position and results of operations. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities". This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on our financial position and results of operations. __________ 31 ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, an evaluation was completed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including Mr. Amir Adnani, our Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Pat Obara, our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, our management including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. There have been no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during our three-month quarterly period ended January 31, 2008, that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT The Board of Directors has established an audit committee. The members of the audit committee are Mr. Erik Essiger, Mr. Ivan Obolensky and Mr. Vincent Della Volpe. The three members of the audit committee are "independent" within the meaning of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. The audit committee was reorganized in July 2007 and operates under a written charter adopted by our Board of Directors. The audit committee has reviewed and discussed with management our unaudited financial statements as of and for the three month period ended January 31, 2008. The audit committee has also discussed with Ernst & Young LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended, by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The audit committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young LLP required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as amended, and has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP their independence. Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the audit committee has recommended to the Board of Directors that the unaudited financial statements referred to above be included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the three month period ended January 31, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. __________ 32 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We have recently been informed that counsel for Goliad County has issued a notice of intent to file litigation citing us for alleged infractions of the Safe Drinking Water Act in connection with our exploration activities in Goliad County. This proposed claim regarding our exploration activities is completely without merit and will be vigorously defended by us, if filed. The responsible state agency with sole jurisdiction over our exploration activities has already thoroughly investigated the County's complaint and has found us to be in compliance with all applicable regulatory and environmental requirements. Specifically, as the agency noted in an April 2007 letter to the County's attorney, the State agency hydrologist "concluded from the available information that no ground-water contamination has occurred as a result of the drilling activities." The state agency concluded its letter by noting that "to date, the Commission's investigation of your complaint has not revealed any practice or activity within the approved permit area that has adversely affected the wells identified in your complaint or the related aquifer, or is out of compliance with the Texas Uranium Mining Regulations...." Later in a September 2007 letter to the Goliad groundwater district, the agency reiterated its findings: the agency's "investigation of your complaint has not revealed any practice or activity at UEC's Uranium Exploration Permit No. 123 that is out of compliance.... We consider this investigation to be closed." Our Goliad Project has been inspected on a monthly basis since the close of the investigation, and no violations have been noted. In fact, an inspection report from November of 2007 observed that "prompt attention" to site restoration during exploration was apparent and "the area inspected looked very good." We are dedicated to full compliance with all aspects of the state regulatory process and will continue to focus our attention and efforts on obtaining all necessary authorizations for our Goliad Project. We have also been recently informed that we have been named as a defendant in a claim filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York for $33,000 in legal fees in connection with our prior and amicable settlement of a short-swing profit matter under Section 16(b) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by a non-management shareholder of the Company. The plaintiff acted as counsel for the shareholder. We believe that the legal fees sought are highly unreasonable for the work performed by the plaintiff and intend to vigorously defend against the claim. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, no director, officer or affiliate is (i) a party adverse to us in any legal proceeding, or (ii) has an adverse interest to us in any legal proceedings. Management is not aware of any other legal proceedings pending or that have been threatened against us or our properties. ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERING During the six months ended January 31, 2008, and through the date of this Quarterly Report, we engaged in a private placement offering under Regulation D and Regulation S of the Securities Act. Pursuant to the terms of the private placement, we issued aggregate amounts of our restricted common stock at subscription prices and under terms as follows: On December 12, 2007 we closed a private placement offering in the aggregate amount of 1,800,000 units (the "Unit(s)") at a subscription price of $3.75 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one share of our restricted common stock and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant (the "Warrant"), with each such resulting Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase an additional share of our restricted common stock (the "Warrant Share") for the period commencing upon the date of issuance of the Units and ending on the day which twelve months from the date of issuance of the Units at an exercise price of $4.25 per Warrant Share. The per share price of the offering was arbitrarily determined by our Board of Directors based upon analysis of certain factors including, but not limited to, stage of development, industry status, investment climate, perceived investment risks, our assets and net estimated worth. We issued Units to investors who are non-U.S. residents. The investors executed subscription agreements and acknowledged that the securities to be issued have not been registered under the Securities Act, that they understood the economic risk of an investment in the securities, and that they had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from our management concerning any and all matters related to acquisition of the securities. 33 EPOCH FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. On February 1, 2007 the Company entered into the Epoch Financial Consulting Agreement. In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Epoch Financial Consulting Agreement, on November 6, 2007 we issued 10,000 shares of our restricted common stock and on January 24, 2008 we issued an additional 7,500 shares of our restricted common stock. SHARE PURCHASE WARRANTS During the six months ended January 31, 2008 and through the date of this Quarterly Report, we issued an aggregate of 48,235 shares of our common stock pursuant to the exercise of 48,235 stock purchase warrants for net proceeds of $137,755. STOCK OPTIONS On November 27, 2007, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the SEC to register for resale an aggregate of 5,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share, issuable by the Company pursuant to awards to eligible participants under its 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. As a result all 10,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock both issued and available for issuance under the Company's 2006 Stock Incentive Plan have now been registered for resale with the SEC. During the six months ended January 31, 2008 and through the date of this Quarterly Report, we issued an aggregate of 330,000 restricted shares of our common stock pursuant to the exercise of 330,000 stock options for net proceeds of $206,667. During the six months ended January 31, 2008 and through the date of this Quarterly Report, we granted an aggregate amount of 760,000 stock options to certain officers, directors, employees and consultants. Of the 760,000 stock options granted, 660,000 have an exercise price of $3.80 per share and a 10 year expiry period, and 100,000 have an exercise price of $2.45 and a 10 year expiry period. ITEM 3.
