Uranium Resources, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2005 (Unaudited)

 

1.             BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  The accompanying statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full calendar year ending December 31, 2005.

 

2.                                      DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

From mid 1999 until the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company had no revenues and was able to continue to maintain minimal operations, primarily conducting reclamation activities in South Texas, as a result of equity infusions of approximately $6.5million from 2000 through February 2004 and utilization, with the consent of Texas regulators, of cash collateral pledged to secure reclamation obligations.

 

With the improvement in uranium spot prices from $7.10 in 2000 to $11.00 by mid 2003, the Company began steps to bring its Vasquez property into production.

 

We signed two long-term contracts, one in August 2003 and another in January 2004, each of which called for deliveries of 600,000 pounds of uranium in each of 2005 through 2008. After amendments, the long-term contracts now call for delivery of 617,650 pounds of uranium in 2005 (or one-half of actual production to each purchaser), 690,000 pounds of uranium in 2006 and 600,000 pounds of uranium in each of the years 2007 through 2008.  The Company expects to realize under these two contracts an average base price of $17.90 per pound for its 2005 deliveries $14.40 for its 2006 deliveries and $13.75 per pound for its 2007 through 2008 deliveries.  In addition, the Company has entered into two contracts that call for an aggregate of 645,000 pounds of deliveries in 2007 at the then current spot price on the date of delivery less an average discount of $3.80 per pound.

 

In May 2004, we raised equity of approximately $5.9 million and commenced the development and mining at Vasquez.  Production from Vasquez in the first nine months of 2005 was less than projected and totaled approximately 240,000 pounds.  Any shortfalls in 2005 deliveries will be made up in 2006.

 

We have experienced chemical and permeability obstacles in the Vasquez formation that were not experienced at our Kingsville Dome and Rosita properties.  In August 2005 we raised $12 million of equity, and we have implemented a plan to address the Vasquez production problems and increase the production rate by constructing a third remote ion exchange plant (satellite plant) and drilling additional production wells in existing wellfields to reduce the distance between our injection and production wells.  We have also designed new wellfields to reflect the closer well spacing.  In November 2005, we brought online the first new wellfield using closer spaced wells and the third satellite plant.  We also plan to bring on additional wellfields to supply feed to a fourth satellite plant in January 2006.  These actions are anticipated to achieve production rates that meet the annual scheduled deliveries under our delivery contracts.

3.                                      RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Restatement of Financial Statements

 

The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 have been restated to give effect for fair value accounting of certain uranium sales contracts under FAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company determined that at December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004, its long-term uranium sales contracts met the definition of derivative financial instruments for financial statement reporting purposes, and the financial statements have been restated as of such date, to record these contracts at fair value.

4.                                      CONTRACT COMMITMENTS

 

Sales Contracts

 

The Company currently has two long-term contracts, which call for aggregate deliveries of  617,650 pounds of uranium in 2005 (or one-half of actual 2005 production to each purchaser) , 690,000 pounds of uranium in 2006 and 600,000 pounds of uranium in each of the years 2007 through 2008.  The Company expects to realize under these two contracts an average base price of $17.90 per pound for its 2005 deliveries and $13.13 per pound for its 2006 through 2008 deliveries.  In both contracts the purchase price is escalated based upon the increase from the fourth quarter of 2003 in the Gross Domestic Product Implicit Price Deflator Index published by the US Department of Commerce.  The Index has increased 4.79% since the fourth quarter of 2003 through the second quarter of 2005 which represents the most current GDPIPD data available.  In addition, the Company has entered into two contracts that call for an aggregate of 645,000 pounds of deliveries by 2007 at the then current spot price on the date of delivery less an average discount of $3.80 per pound.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company has determined that at December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004, its long-term uranium sales contracts met the definition of derivative financial instruments for financial statement reporting purposes, and the financial statements have been restated as of such date to record these contracts at fair value.  The Company does not enter into hedge transactions with respect to its uranium sales contracts and the fair value loss represents the present value of the loss the Company would incur in the event it would be required to purchase uranium in the spot market to satisfy the deliveries under both of its long-term uranium sales contracts.

 

5.                                      NOTES PAYABLE

 

Note Purchase Agreement

 

On March 28, 2005, the Company borrowed $600,000 from five stockholders of the Company, each of whom may be considered an affiliate.  The Notes are unsecured, mature on March 24, 2006 and bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, with interest due at maturity.  The proceeds were used to commence the new development plan for Vasquez and for general and administrative expenses.  In October 2005, $475,000 of principal and $22,430 of accrued interest were converted into 994,859 shares of Common Stock of the Company at $0.50 per share.  In November 2005, the remaining $125,000 of principal and accrued interest of $5,902 were converted into 261,805 shares of Common Stock of the Company at $0.50 per share.

 

6.                             STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company has five stock option plans, the Employees’ Stock Option Plan, the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, the Directors’ Stock Option Plan and the 2004 Directors’ Stock Option Plan.  The Company accounts for these plans under APB Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation cost has been recognized.  Had compensation cost for these plans been determined consistent with FAS 148, the Company’s net loss and loss per share (“EPS”) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 would have been adjusted to the following pro forma amounts:

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant or the date approved by the stockholders, if later, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 2005 and options approved in 2005: expected volatility of 150%, 150%, 149% and 150% and risk-free interest rates of  3.93%, 4.02%, 4.03% and 4.40%.  Expected lives of 9.1 years, 9.1, 9.3 and 9.2 years were used for options granted to employees and directors, respectively.  The weighted average fair value of options granted and approved in 2005 was $0.76.

 

On June 2, 2004, 6,750,000 options were granted to officers at an exercise price of $0.29 per share.  Stock compensation expense of $444,000 was recorded in June 2005 (the date an amendment to the plan was approved by the stockholders) and is reflected in general and administrative expenses.  For grants in 2004, the following weighted average assumptions were used: expected volatility of 179% and risk-free interest rates of 4.24%.  An expected life of 5.7 years was used for options granted to directors.  The weighted average fair value of options granted in 2004 was $0.29.

 

7.                                      ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

 

As a result of adoption of FAS 143, the Company recorded a net reduction in its restoration liability of approximately $1.4 million at January 1, 2003.  The Company had previously recorded the undiscounted future estimated restoration costs into expense.  Under FAS 143, future restoration liabilities are usually added to the carrying value of the related asset but the Company has recorded them to expense because the associated properties had been fully impaired.  Under FAS 143 the present value of the restoration costs are recorded instead of the undiscounted amount.

 

The following table shows the change in the balance of the restoration and reclamation liability during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively:

ITEM 2.             MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This Item 2 contains “forward-looking statements.”  These statements include, without limitation, statements relating to liquidity, financing of operations, continued volatility of uranium prices, estimates of future capital expenditures and other such matters.  The words “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “projects,” “targets” or “estimates” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.  The Company does not undertake to update, revise or correct any of the forward-looking information.  Readers are cautioned that such forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s disclosures under the heading: “Cautionary Statements” in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A.

 

The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2004, have been restated to give effect for fair value accounting of our uranium sales contracts under FAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  The Company determined that at December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004, its long-term uranium sales contracts met the definition of derivative financial instruments for financial statement reporting purposes, and the financial statements have been restated as of such date, to record these contracts at fair value.

 

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Comparison of Nine Months and Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004

 

Production and Sales.  During the first nine months of 2004 we had no uranium production or sales.  Our first uranium sales occurred in the fourth quarter of 2004.  In the first nine months of 2005, we sold 219,000 pounds of Vasquez production, resulting in revenues of $4.0 million (including $253,000 from the renegotiation of the contract price of sales that were made in the fourth quarter of 2004).  74,340 pounds were sold in the third quarter of 2005, resulting in revenues of $1.3 million.

 

Net Losses.  During the first nine months of 2005, we had a net loss of ($14,458,000) compared to a net loss of ($14,159,000) for the corresponding period of 2004.  These losses included non-cash unrealized losses on derivatives of ($12.1) million and ($12.0) million, respectively.  For the three months ended September 30, 2005 we had a net loss of ($2,018,000) compared to a net loss of ($4,494,000) for the corresponding period of 2004.  These losses included non-cash unrealized losses on derivatives of ($648,000) and ($3.4) million respectively.

 

Operating Expenses.  During the first nine months of 2005, operating expenses and related royalties and commissions for Vasquez production sold was $2,672,000.  For the third quarter of 2005 those expenses were $1,299,000.  During these periods we incurred $52,000 and $16,000, respectively, of stand-by costs at the Rosita project that was charged to operations.  During the corresponding nine and three months of 2004, we had no sales and, therefore, no costs of sales, but we did incur $570,000 and $240,000, respectively, of stand-by costs that were charged to operations.

 

Depreciation and Depletion.  During the first nine months of 2005, we incurred depreciation and depletion expense attributable to our Vasquez production of $1,092,000.  For the third quarter of 2005 those expenses were $539,000.  During these same nine and three month periods, we incurred $11,000 and $3,000, respectively, of stand-by depreciation cost for the Rosita project.  In the corresponding nine and three months of 2004, we incurred depreciation related to stand-by activities of $21,000 and $8,000, respectively.  The increase reflects the commencement of production at our Vasquez property in the fourth quarter of 2004.

 

Accretion and Amortization of Future Restoration Costs.   During the first nine months of 2005, the accretion and amortization of future restoration costs was $268,000.  For the third quarter of 2005 those expenses were $97,000.   During the corresponding nine and three months of 2004, these expenses were $290,000 and $159,000, respectively.

 

General and Administrative Charges.  During the first nine months of 2005, general and administrative charges and corporate depreciation were $2,340,000.  For the third quarter of 2005 those expenses were $713,000.   In the corresponding nine and three months of 2004, these expenses were

 

12



 

$1,274,000 and $556,000, respectively.  The increase in these charges in 2005 resulted primarily from stock compensation expense of $444,000 incurred in the second quarter of 2005 (see Note 6. “Stock Based Compensation”) and increased personnel costs related to Vasquez, increases in insurance premiums and legal fees as a result of our capital raising activities.

 

Cash Sources and Uses.  In the first nine months of 2005 we had net cash flow from operations of $27,000 and raised $13.7 million from financing activities.  $11.6 million of the $13.7 million was raised in the third quarter.  Our net cash flow from operations during the third quarter of 2005 was a negative $52,000.   In the first nine months of 2005 we spent $2.7 million at Vasquez for property, plant and equipment (of which $1.3 million was spent in the third quarter), $381,000 at Kingsville Dome (of which $175,000 was spent in the third quarter) and $708,000 for other property additions in Texas and New Mexico(of which $441,000 was spent in the third quarter).

 

In the first nine months of 2004 we had negative cash flow from operations of $1.7 million and we raised $6.5 million from financing activities (of which $38,000 was raised in the third quarter of 2004).  In the first nine months of 2004 we spent $2.1 million at Vasquez for property, plant and equipment (of which $1.1 million was spent in the third quarter), $661,000 at Kingsville Dome (of which $303,000 was spent in the third quarter) and $253,000 for other property additions in Texas and New Mexico (of which $118,000 was spent in the third quarter).  We also increased by $830,000 our restricted cash used to collateralize letters of credit pledged to secure our reclamation obligations (of which $767,000 was spent in the third quarter), and we used $1,740,000 for working capital (of which $1.1 million was spent in the third quarter).

(1) Average sales price per pound for the nine months includes approximately $253,000 in revenue recorded in 2005 related to a renegotiation of the contract price completed in the first quarter of 2005 for pounds sold in 2004.

 

(2) The cost per pound for the three and nine months in 2005 excludes standby costs incurred of $21,000 and $67,000, respectively.  Such standby costs of $248,000 and $591,000 were charged to operating expense in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively.  It also excludes any amortization of $2.7 million of Vasquez costs capitalized in prior periods and written off prior to 2004.

 

(3) Cost of produced pounds sold for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 includes plant and wellfield operations costs ($16.31 and $10.97, respectively) and depreciation and depletion of capital costs ($7.26 and $4.99, respectively). Such costs exclude royalties, commissions, accretion/amortization of restoration reserve and unrealized loss on derivatives. The estimated future costs of restoring the groundwater and the reclamation and decommissioning of surface and facilities ($1.20/lb.) are treated as a period cost and are not included herein as a cost of production.

 

(4) As production from the new wellfields at Vasquez that utilize the closer spaced well patterns ramp up and as additional wellfields at Vasquez come on-line we expect such production to be breakeven to marginally profitable.

 

Liquidity - Cash Needs and Sources through the Second Quarter of 2006.

 

From mid 1999 until the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company had no revenues and was able to continue to maintain minimal operations, primarily conducting reclamation activities in South Texas, as a result of equity infusions and utilization, with the consent of Texas regulators, of cash collateral pledged to secure reclamation obligations.  With the improvement in uranium spot prices from $7.10 in 2000 to $11.00 by mid 2003, the Company began steps to bring its Vasquez property into production.

 

We signed two long-term contracts, one in August 2003 and another in January 2004, each of which called for deliveries of 600,000 pounds of uranium in each of 2005 through 2008. After amendments, the long-term contracts now call for delivery of 617,650 pounds of uranium in 2005 (or one-half of actual production to each purchaser), 690,000 pounds of uranium in 2006 and 600,000 pounds of uranium in each of the years 2007 through 2008.  The Company expects to realize under these two contracts an average base price of $17.90 per pound for its 2005 deliveries $14.40 for its 2006 deliveries and $13.75 per pound for its 2007 through 2008 deliveries.  In addition, the Company has entered into two

 

13



 

contracts that call for an aggregate of 645,000 pounds of deliveries in 2007 at the then current spot price on the date of delivery less an average discount of $3.80 per pound.

 

In May 2004, we raised equity of approximately $5.9 million and commenced the development and mining at Vasquez.  Production from Vasquez in the first nine months of 2005 was less than projected and totaled approximately 240,000 pounds.  Any shortfalls in 2005 deliveries will be made up in 2006.  We have experienced chemical and permeability obstacles in the Vasquez formation that were not experienced at our Kingsville Dome and Rosita properties.

 

In August 2005 we raised $12 million of equity, and we have implemented a plan to address the Vasquez production problems and increase the production rate by constructing a third remote ion exchange plant (satellite plant) and drilling additional production wells in existing wellfields to reduce the distance between our injection and production wells.  We have also designed new wellfields to reflect the closer well spacing.  In October 2005, we brought online the first new wellfield using closer spaced wells and the third satellite plant.  Production from this wellfield commenced on November 4, 2005, some four weeks later than previously projected.  While the new wellfield is not yet at full capacity, it is producing in accordance with our expectations at this phase in its production cycle.  We also plan to bring on additional wellfields to supply feed to a fourth satellite plant in January 2006.  These actions are anticipated to achieve production rates that meet the annual scheduled deliveries under our delivery contracts.

 

We now expect 2005 production from Vasquez to be approximately 320,000 pounds and sales to be 300,000 pounds.  Through September 30, 2005 we have sold 219,000 pounds.  Revenue from sales during the fourth quarter is expected to be approximately $1.4 million.  Revenues from sales in 2006 are projected to be $14.6 million, assuming we are able to produce and sell the 1,011,000 pounds called for by our long-term contracts.

 

At September 30, 2005, we had cash on hand of $10.1 million.

 

Our projected cash requirements for the fourth quarter of 2005 and the first six months of 2006 are approximately $21.7 million.  We project that this cash will come from cash on hand at September 30, 2005 of $10.1 million, sales of our Vasquez production of $9.2 million and sales under our existing spot contracts of $3.1 million from production at our Kingsville Dome facility.  We expect to spend the $21.7 million as follows:

 

   $9 million will be used for ongoing Vasquez production, development and related activities (which includes ongoing financial surety requirements of $1.2 million required in the fourth quarter of the year);

 

   $6.9 million for pre-production and development and production activities to start-up production at Kingsville Dome;

 

   $1.2 million for other equipment and South Texas working capital;

 

   $630,000 for ongoing groundwater restoration activities at our Kingsville Dome and Rosita projects;

 

   $930,000 for land acquisition and holding costs for our Texas and New Mexico properties; and

 

   $3 million for general and administrative and other working capital costs.

 

We are actively working towards the completion of the Production Area Authorization #3 at Kingsville Dome, which we expect to be completed by year end 2005, with sales from this production commencing in the second quarter of 2006.  We expect the profitability from our Kingsville Dome production will be greater than that seen from our Vasquez production as a result of higher anticipated sales prices.  We have entered into two contracts that call for an aggregate of 645,000 pounds of deliveries by 2007 at the then current spot price on the date of delivery less an average discount of $3.80 per pound which are expected to be filled with such production.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

We have determined that at December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004, our long-term uranium sales contracts met the definition of derivative financial instruments for financial statement reporting purposes, and as of such date,

 

14



 

are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value.  Changes in the fair value of such derivatives recorded on the balance sheet are recorded in the consolidated statements of operation.  Such changes in the Company’s derivatives represent non-cash charges to earnings for the present value of the loss the Company would incur in the event it would be required to purchase uranium in the spot market to satisfy the deliveries under both of its long-term uranium sales contracts.

 

The initial liability recorded on the balance sheet at December 31, 2003 represents the estimated cost difference between the contracted sales price and the price to purchase the quantities the Company is obligated to deliver under each of its uranium sales contracts, present valued to the balance sheet date.  The current portion of the unrealized loss on derivatives represents such price difference for those deliveries scheduled within the next year.  Future factors such as changes in uranium market prices, amendments to the delivery terms or prices in the sales contracts, the physical delivery of produced uranium to the contracts and others will impact the amount of the liability.  As deliveries are made from the Company’s mine production, the amount of the liability will be reduced and a corresponding increase to earnings would result.  Changes in uranium prices may have a significant impact on the calculation of the liability in future periods.  An increase in uranium market prices will increase the liability related to the estimated cost of purchasing sufficient material to deliver under these contracts in the future and would result in a charge to earnings in the period of such rising prices.  A decrease in future uranium market prices would reduce the liability and result in a positive earnings impact in the period of falling prices.

 

Management applies significant judgment in estimating the fair value of instruments that are highly sensitive to assumptions regarding uranium prices and market volatilities.  Variations in these factors could materially affect amounts credited or charged to operations to reflect the changes in fair market value of derivatives.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have a combination of bank Letters of Credit (the “L/C’s) and performance bonds issued for our benefit to satisfy financial surety required by the State of Texas regulatory agencies relating to certain of our future restoration and reclamation obligations.

 

The L/C’s were issued by Bank of America and the performance bonds have been issued by United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company (“USF&G”).  The amount of L/C’s issued was $897,000 and $0, at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and the L/C’s are collateralized in their entirety by certificates of deposit.  The amount of performance bonds issued was $2,835,000 on September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, and USF&G has required that the Company deposit funds collateralizing a portion of the bonds.  The amount of the bond exceeded the amount of collateral by $2,500,000 and $2,434,000 at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.  The Company is responsible for any liability in excess of the collateral.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A.  We believe our most critical accounting policies involve those requiring the use of significant estimates and assumptions in determining values or projecting future costs.

 

Specifically regarding our uranium properties, significant estimates were utilized in determining the carrying value of these assets.  These assets have been recorded at their estimated net realizable value for impairment purposes on a liquidation basis, which is less than our cost.  The actual value realized from these assets may vary significantly from these estimates based upon market conditions, financing availability and other factors.

 

Regarding our reserve for future restoration and reclamation costs, significant estimates were utilized in determining the future costs to complete the groundwater restoration and surface reclamation at our mine sites.  The actual cost to conduct these activities may vary significantly from these estimates.

 

Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

 

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March and June 2005, the EITF reached and then modified its consensus on Issue 04-6, “Accounting for Stripping Costs Incurred during Production in the Mining Industry.”  Release EITF 04-6 relates to the accounting treatment for certain types of development costs incurred by mining companies after production from a project has commenced.   The Company capitalizes development costs related to its mining projects in both the pre-production phase and during the production phase of its projects.  The release is effective for the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, with early adoption permitted.  We are currently evaluating the application of the concepts of this release and its potential impact to the Company.

The management of the company has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (“Evaluation date”) and has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective based upon their evaluation as of the Evaluation date with the exception of a weakness in awareness of proper reporting for FAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities which resulted in restatement of the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.  The Company intends to work more diligently to assure that errors of this type do not recur in the future.

 

There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls during our most recent quarter, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
