NOTE 1:
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
Uranium Energy Corp. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 16, 2003. Uranium Energy Corp. and its subsidiary companies and a controlled partnership (collectively, the “Company” or “we”) are engaged in uranium and titanium mining and related activities, including exploration, pre-extraction, extraction and processing of uranium concentrates and titanium minerals, on projects located in the United States and Paraguay.
 
Although planned principal operations have commenced from which significant revenues from sales of uranium concentrates were realized for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2015 (“Fiscal 2015”), July 31, 2013 (“Fiscal 2013”) and July 31, 2012 (“Fiscal 2012”), we have yet to achieve profitability and have had a history of operating losses resulting in an accumulated deficit balance since inception. No revenue from uranium sales was realized for the three months ended October 31, 2017, or for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2017 (“Fiscal 2017”), July 31, 2016 (“Fiscal 2016”) and July 31, 2014 (“Fiscal 2014”). Historically, we have been reliant primarily on equity financings from the sale of its common stock and, during Fiscal 2014 and Fiscal 2013, on debt financing in order to fund our operations, and this reliance is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
 
At October 31, 2017, we had working capital of $18.6 million including cash and cash equivalents of approximately $10.0 million and short-term investments of approximately $8.6 million. The existing cash resources as at October 31, 2017 are expected to provide sufficient funds to carry out our planned operations for the next 12 months from the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Our continuation as a going concern for a period beyond 12 months will be dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate additional financing, as our operations are capital intensive and future capital expenditures are expected to be substantial. Our continued operations, including the recoverability of the carrying values of our assets, are dependent ultimately on our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow from our operations.
