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, in Canada and in the Republic of 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
six
months ended
January 31, 2019,
or for the fiscal years ended
July 31, 2018 (
“Fiscal
2018”
),
July 31, 2017 (
“Fiscal
2017”
),
July 31, 2016 (
“Fiscal
2016”
) or
July 31, 2014 (
“Fiscal
2014”
). Historically, we have been reliant primarily on equity financings from the sale of our 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.
 
During the
six
months ended
January 31, 2019,
we completed a public offering of
12,613,049
units at a price of
$1.60
per unit for gross proceeds of
$20.2
million, and received cash proceeds of
$2.6
million from the exercise of stock options and warrants, which substantially increased our cash and cash equivalent and improved our working capital position. At
January 31, 2019,
we had working capital of
$22.3
million including cash and cash equivalents of
$4.0
million and short-term investments of
$18.0
million. On
December 5, 2018,
we entered into a
third
amended and restated credit agreement (the “Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), whereby we and our lenders agreed to certain further amendments to our
$20
million senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), whereby the maturity date was extended from
January 1, 2020
to
January 31, 2022,
and whereby the prior monthly principal payments were deferred until the new maturity date of
January 31, 2022.
As a result, the
$15.0
million principal amounts reported as current-portion of long-term debt at
October 31, 2018
has been removed from our capital resource requirement for the next
12
months. As a consequence, our existing cash resources as at
January 31, 2019
are expected to provide sufficient funds to carry our planned operations for the next
12
months from the date that our 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.
