Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
As previously disclosed, on June 3, 2015, Uranium Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (URI), entered into a scheme implementation agreement (the Implementation Agreement) with Anatolia Energy Limited, an Australian public company (Anatolia), pursuant to which URI would acquire all of the outstanding equity of Anatolia (the Transaction). On November 9, 2015, the Transaction closed in accordance with the terms of the Implementation Agreement.
Upon the closing of the Transaction, each Anatolia share outstanding immediately prior to closing was transferred to URI in exchange for 0.06579 URI shares, or approximately 20.5 million URI shares in the aggregate, and Anatolia became a wholly-owned subsidiary of URI. URI also issued approximately 7.0 million replacement options with a Black-Scholes value approximately equal to the Black-Scholes value of the Anatolia options being replaced, and URI performance shares relating to approximately 0.8 million URI shares subject to the same terms and conditions as the Anatolia performance shares being replaced. Immediately after the closing of the Transaction, the former Anatolia shareholders held approximately 41% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company, and the shares of common stock held by continuing URI shareholders represented approximately 59% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company.
New URI securities exchanged for Anatolia securities are expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market and as CHESS Depository Instruments (CDIs) on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on November 10, 2015. URIs common stock will begin trading on the ASX as CDIs under the new trading symbol URI. In addition, new URI options exchanged for listed Anatolia options will begin trading on the ASX as CDIs under the new trading symbol URIO.
The foregoing is a general description of the Transaction and Implementation Agreement; it does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Implementation Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by URI on June 4, 2015 and which is incorporated herein by reference.
Included in this filing as Exhibit 99.1 are the audited financial statements of Anatolia for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the notes related thereto and the report of Anatolias independent auditors. Also included in this filing as Exhibit 99.2 is pro forma financial information as of June 30, 2015 for URI and its subsidiaries.
Also on November 9, 2015, URI issued approximately 1.0 million URI shares to third parties for services rendered in connection with the Transaction, including approximately 0.16 million shares to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., which acted as financial advisor to URI in connection with the Transaction; approximately 0.25 million shares to Insight Transportation Services LLC for consulting services in connection with the Transaction; and approximately 0.63 million shares to RCF Management L.L.C. (an affiliate of Resource Capital Fund V L.P., URIs largest stockholder) for technical due diligence and related support in connection with the Transaction.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information set forth in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.02.
The URI securities issued to the former Anatolia securityholders were issued in an exempt transaction pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The URI shares issued to third parties for services rendered in connection with the Transaction were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Effective November 9, 2015, the Board of Directors of URI adopted an amendment to URIs Amended and Restated Bylaws (the Bylaws), adding the following Article VIII to the Bylaws:

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
Section 1.1 Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as properly may come before such meeting shall be held on such date and at such time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated by the Board of Directors.
Section 1.2 Stockholder Business and Nominations for Annual Meetings.
(a) The proposal of business to be considered by stockholders, including nominations of candidates to stand for election as directors, may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders only (i) pursuant to the Corporations notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (iii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record of the Corporation (and, with respect to any beneficial owner, if different, on whose behalf such business is proposed or such nomination or nominations are made, only if such beneficial owner was the beneficial owner of shares of the Corporation) both at the time the notice provided for in this Section 1.2 is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting upon such business, and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.2.
(b) For business, including nominations of candidates to stand for election as directors, to be properly brought before an annual meeting of stockholders by a stockholder pursuant to this Section 1.2, the stockholder (i) must have given timely notice thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation and (ii) must provide any updates or supplements to such notice at such times and in the forms required by this Section 1.2. In addition, any proposed business must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, the stockholders notice must be delivered to, or mailed to and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding years annual meeting, except that if the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than seventy (70) days after such anniversary, the Secretary of the Corporation must receive the notice not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day
following the day on which public announcement (as defined below) of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 1.2(b) to the contrary, if the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation at an annual meeting is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the Board of Directors nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least one hundred (100) days before the first anniversary of the preceding years annual meeting, a stockholders notice required by this Section 1.2 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to, or mailed to and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement (as defined below) is first made by the Corporation.
(d) For a notice to be in proper form for purposes of this Section 1.2, the notice must include the following information: (i) the name and address of the stockholder who is making a proposal, as they appear on the Corporations books, and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; (ii) the nature of the business being proposed and the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the Bylaws of the Corporation, the language of the proposed amendment), the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; (iii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner; (iv) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the proposal between or among such stockholder and such beneficial owner, any of their respective affiliates or associates, and any others acting in concert with any of the foregoing; (v) as to the stockholder giving the notice and any such beneficial owner, whether and the extent to which any hedging or other transaction or series of transactions has been entered into by or on behalf of, or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short positions or any borrowing or lending of shares of stock) has been made, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to or manage risk of stock price changes for, or to increase the voting power of, such stockholder or any such beneficial owner with respect to any share of stock of the Corporation; (vi) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of Corporation capital stock entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to introduce the business specified in the notice; (vii) a representation whether the stockholder or the beneficial owner, if any, intends or is part of a group which intends (A) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporations outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal and/or (B) otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such proposal; and (viii) any other information relating to the stockholder making the proposal that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies or consents by such
stockholder in support of the business to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14A under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Only such business shall be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.2. If the Chairman of the Board or other presiding officer at the annual meeting determines that business was not properly brought before the meeting, the business proposed by the notifying stockholder will not be conducted at the meeting.
(e) In addition, in the case of nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors, for a notice to be in proper form for purposes of this Section 1.2, the notice must include the following additional information as to each proposed nominee who is not an incumbent director: (i) the name, age, business address and, if known, residence address of such nominee, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of such nominee during the preceding five years, (iii) the number of shares of stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such nominee, (iv) any other information relating to such nominee that would be required to be set forth in a definitive proxy statement filed in connection with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, (v) the written consent of such nominee to being named in the Corporations proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director of the Corporation, if elected, (vi) all information with respect to such nominee that would be required to be set forth in a stockholders notice pursuant to this Section 1.2 if such nominee were a proposing stockholder, and (vii) such other information as the Corporation may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. A nomination made otherwise than as provided in this Section 1.2 shall be null and void and shall not be submitted to a vote of stockholders.
(f) A stockholder providing notice of business, including nominations of candidates to stand for election as directors, to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders shall further update and supplement such notice so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 1.2 shall be true and correct both as of the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such updated and supplemental information shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (a) in the case of information that is required to be updated and supplemented to be true and correct as of the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, not later than the later of five (5) business days after such record date or five (5) business days after the public announcement of such record date, and (b) in the case of information that is required to be updated and supplemented to be true and correct as of ten (10) business days before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, not later than eight (8) business days before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof (or if not practicable to provide such updated and supplemental information not later than eight (8) business days before any adjournment or postponement, on the first practicable date before any such adjournment or postponement).
(g) The foregoing notice requirements of this Section 1.2 shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder with respect to business other than a nomination if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of his, her or its intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act and such stockholders proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting.
(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.2, unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present proposed business, including a nomination of persons for election to the Board of Directors, such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 1.2, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.
(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.2, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.2; provided however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit any requirements applicable to proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to this Section 1.2, and compliance with this Section 1.2 shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to submit other business (other than, as provided in Section 1.2(g), matters brought properly under and in compliance with the Exchange Act). Nothing in this Section 1.2 shall be deemed to (i) affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporations proxy statement pursuant to applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (ii) confer upon any stockholder a right to have any proposed business, including a nomination of persons for election to the Board of Directors, included in the Corporations proxy statement.
(j) For purposes of this Section 1.2, public announcement shall include disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or other national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
Section 1.3 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders for any proper purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, the President, or at the direction of the Board of Directors, pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the whole Board of Directors, to be held on such date, and at such time and place within or without
the State of Delaware, as the caller shall direct. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporations notice of meeting pursuant to Section 1.4 of these Bylaws. Stockholders shall not be permitted to propose business to be brought before a special meeting of the stockholders.
Section 1.4 Notice of Meeting. The Corporation shall give written notice of any annual or special meeting of stockholders. Notices of meetings of stockholders shall state the place (if any), date, and time of the meeting, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at such meetings (if such record date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive notice of such meetings), and the means of remote communication (if any) by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting. Notices of meetings of stockholders shall be given, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date on which the meeting is to be held, to each stockholder entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting, except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the Certificate of Incorporation) or these Bylaws. In the case of a special meeting, the notice shall state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. No business other than that specified in the notice or otherwise submitted by the Board of Directors thereof shall be transacted at any special meeting.
When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than thirty (30) days after the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, or if, after an adjournment, a new record date is fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, written notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting. At any adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting.
Section 1.5 Quorum. The presence at any meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of record of one-third of the shares then issued and outstanding and entitled to vote shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.
Section 1.6 Adjournments. If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the shares of stock entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, may adjourn the meeting to another place, date or time.
Section 1.7 Voting. At each meeting of stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, every holder of record of stock entitled to vote shall be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of such stock standing in his or her name on the records of the Corporation.
Directors shall be chosen by a plurality of the votes cast at the election by the holders of the class of stock entitled to vote for the election of directors, and, except as otherwise provided
by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, all other questions shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast on such question.
Section 1.8 Proxies. Any stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law and filed with the secretary of the Corporation.
Section 1.9 Administration of the Meeting. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board or, in the absence thereof, by such person as the Chairman of the Board shall appoint, or, in the absence thereof or in the event that the Chairman shall fail to make such appointment, any officer of the Corporation elected by the Board. In the absence of the Secretary of the Corporation, the secretary of the meeting shall be such person as the chairman of the meeting appoints.
The Board shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspector(s), who may include individual(s) who serve the Corporation in other capacities, including without limitation as officers, employees or agents, to act at the meeting of stockholders and make a written report thereof. The Board may designate one or more persons as alternate inspector(s) to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate has been appointed or is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspector(s) to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to faithfully execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector(s) or alternate(s) shall have the duties prescribed pursuant to Section 231 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or other applicable law.
The Board shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations, if any, the chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including without limitation establishing an agenda of business of the meeting, rules or regulations to maintain order, restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for commencement thereof and the fixing of the date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting (and shall announce such at the meeting).
Section 1.10 Action by Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a written consent or consents thereto setting forth such action is signed by the holders of record of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or to take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of such action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.
Section 1.11 Remote Communications. For the purposes of these Bylaws, if authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as
the Board of Directors may adopt, stockholders and proxyholders may, by means of remote communication:
(a) participate in a meeting of stockholders; and
(b) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (i) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder, (ii) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (iii) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the Corporation.
ARTICLE II
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Section 2.1 General. The business of the Corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors which may exercise all power of the Corporation and do all lawful acts and things as are not by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.
Section 2.2 Number. The Board of Directors shall consist of not less than three (3) nor more than nine (9) members, the exact number of which shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors.
Section 2.3 Election and Term of Office. Directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders, except as provided in Section 2.4 of these Bylaws. Directors (whether elected at an annual meeting or to fill a vacancy or otherwise) shall continue in office until the next annual election and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in the manner hereinafter provided.
Section 2.4 Vacancies and Additional Directorships. If the office of any director becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause or if there are any newly created directorships, a majority of the directors remaining in office, although less than a quorum, shall fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships. In addition, instead of filling any vacancy on the Board of Directors, a majority of the directors remaining in office may vote to reduce the size of the Board of Directors to remove any vacancy. In the event of the resignation of directors effective at a future date, such vacancies may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have resigned, effective on such future date.
Section 2.5 Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such place or places, on such date or dates, and at such time or times as shall have been established by the Board of Directors and publicized among all directors.

Section 2.6 Notice of Meetings. Notice need not be given of regular meetings of the Board.
Notice of the place, date, and time of each such special meeting shall be given to each director who has not waived notice by personal delivery, mail, courier service (including, without limitation, overnight mail), facsimile transmission (directed to the facsimile number at which the director has consented to receive such notice), electronic mail (directed to the electronic mail address at which the director has consented to receive notice), or other form of electronic transmission at which the director has consented to receive notice, telex, telephone, telegraph, or by electronic transmission not less than twenty-four (24) hours before the meeting. Unless otherwise indicated in the notice thereof, any and all business may be transacted at a special meeting.
Section 2.7 Quorum, Manner of Acting and Presence. At each meeting of the Board of Directors the presence of a majority of the total number of members of the Board of Directors then holding office (but not less than one-third of the total number of directors, nor less than two (2) directors) shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, a majority of those present at the time and place of any meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be present and the meeting may be held and adjourned without further notice of waiver. A majority of those present at any meeting at which a quorum is present may decide any questions brought before such meeting, except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or these Bylaws.
Section 2.8 Resignation of Directors.
(a) Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Secretary; provided that if such notice is given by electronic transmission, such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by such director. Such resignation shall take effect at the time specified in such notice or, if the time be not specified, upon receipt thereof by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Secretary, as the case may be. Unless otherwise specified therein, and subject to Section 2.8(b) of these Bylaws, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.
(b) Any director who is an employee of the Corporation shall be deemed to have tendered his or her resignation as a director to the Board of Directors upon termination of his or her employment with the Corporation. The Board of Directors shall determine whether to accept such resignation or whether the director shall finish his or her term as a director. Until and unless the Board formally accepts, by majority vote, such resignation or if the Board of Directors does not accept, by majority vote, the resignation, the director shall continue to serve on the Board and have full authority, power and privileges of a member of the Board of Directors until the end of such directors term. If the Board of Directors accepts such resignation pursuant to this Section 2.8(b), then the Board of Directors may fill the resulting vacancy pursuant to Section 2.4 of these Bylaws.

The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was or has agreed to become a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against costs, charges, expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Section 6.2. Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was or has agreed to become a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action, suit or proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of such liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such costs, charges and expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 6.3. Indemnification for Costs, Charges and Expenses of Successful Party. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article, to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against all costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.
Section 6.4. Determination of Right to Indemnification. Any indemnification under Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be paid by the Corporation unless a determination is made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders, that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is not proper in the circumstances because he has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of this Article.
Section 6.5. Advance of Costs, Charges and Expenses. Costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by a person referred to in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of this Article in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that the payment of such costs, charges and expenses incurred by a director or officer in his capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer) in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that sum director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article. Such costs, charges and expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. The Board of Directors may, in the manner set forth above, and upon approval of such director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, authorize the Corporations counsel to represent such person, in any action, suit or proceeding, whether or not the Corporation is a party to such action, suit or proceeding.
Section 6.6 Procedure for Indemnification. Any indemnification under Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3, or advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section 6.5 of this Article, shall be
made promptly, and in any event within sixty (60) days, upon the written request of the directors, officer, employee or agent. The right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article shall be enforceable by the director, officer, employee or agent in any court of competent jurisdiction, if the Corporation denies such request, in whole or in part, or if no disposition thereof is made within sixty (60) days. Such persons costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification by the Corporation shall be promptly paid by the Corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section 6.5 of this Article where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 of this Article, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper under the circumstances because he has met the applicable, standard of conduct set forth in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 of this Article, nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
Section 6.7 Other Rights; Continuation of Right to Indemnification. The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any law (common or statutory), agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office or while employed by or acting as agent for the Corporation, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors and administrators of such person. All rights to indemnification under this Article shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation who serves or served in such capacity at any time while this Article is in effect. Any repeal or modification of this Article or any repeal or modification of relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any other applicable laws shall not in any way diminish any rights to indemnification of such director, officer, employee or agent or the obligations of the Corporation arising hereunder.
Section 6.8 Insurance. The Corporation may, but shall have no obligation to, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise at the request of the Corporation, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him or on his behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article. Such insurance, if made available, shall be on terms acceptable to the Board of Directors, which determination shall be made by a vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors.
Section 6.9 Savings Clause. If this Article or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless
indemnify each director, officer, employee and agent of the Corporation as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been invalidated, and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Anatolia Energy Limited
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Anatolia Energy Limited (the Company) as of June 30, 2015 and the related consolidated income statements, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Anatolia Energy Limited at June 30, 2015 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
The financial report of Anatolia Energy Limited for the year ended 30 June 2015 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 30 September 2015.
The Company is incorporated in Australia, limited by shares and whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The registered office of the Company and principal place of business is Ground Floor, 10 Outram Street, West Perth WA 6005.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of accounting
The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative announcements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board.
The financial report has also been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
During the year ended 30 June 2015 the consolidated entity incurred a net loss after tax of $1,972,600 and a net cash outflow from operating activities of $954,723. Notwithstanding this the directors consider the going concern basis to be appropriate as they are confident of obtaining the required investor support to ensure that the merger with URI will proceed following shareholder approval at the General Meeting on 9 October 2015. The merger with URI should increase the resources available to Anatolia going forward, and also increase their capacity to raise capital going forward.
Should the merger not proceed, the Company will be required to undertake further capital raising in the short term to fund working capital and continue as a going concern. The Directors are confident that of the Companys ability to successfully raise additional funds in the current market, and as such to continue as a going concern.
The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(b) Statement of compliance
The financial report complies with Applicable Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
In the current year the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on 1 July 2014. None of the new standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2014 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period, although it caused minor changes to the Groups disclosures.
The AASB has issued new, revised and amended standards and interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. The Group has decided against early adoption of these standards. A discussion of those future requirements and their impact on the Group follows:
The following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations were available for early adoption at 30 June 2015, but have not been applied in preparing this financial report.
(i) AASB 9: Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards (applicable for the Groups 30 June 2018 financial statements):
This Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the comment on hedge accounting below) and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, revised recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments and simplified requirements for hedge accounting. The Company has not yet determined the potential effect of the Standard.
(ii) Other standards no yet applicable
There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
(c) Changes in accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.
(d) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent (Anatolia Energy Limited) and all of the subsidiaries (including any structured entities). Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(d) Principles of consolidation (continued)
Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as non-controlling interests. The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiarys net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non-controlling interests proportionate share of the subsidiarys net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income.
The names of the entities controlled by the Company are set out in Note 15 to the financial statements.
Business Combinations
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses.
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that control is attained, whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exemptions).
When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is remeasured in each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.
All transaction costs incurred in relation to business combinations, other than those associated with the issue of a financial instrument, are recognised as expenses in profit or loss when incurred.
The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.
Goodwill
Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the sum of:
(i) the consideration transferred;
(ii) any non-controlling interest (determined under either the full goodwill or proportionate interest method); and
(iii) the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest;
over the acquisition date fair value of net identifiable assets acquired.
The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements.
Fair value remeasurements in any pre-existing equity holdings are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.
The amount of goodwill recognised on acquisition of each subsidiary in which the Group holds less than a 100% interest will depend on the method adopted in measuring the non-controlling interest. The Group can elect in most circumstances to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value (full goodwill method) or at the non-controlling interests proportionate share of the subsidiarys identifiable net assets (proportionate interest method). In such circumstances, the Group determines which method to adopt for each acquisition and this is stated in the respective notes to these financial statements disclosing the business combination.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(d) Principles of consolidation (continued)
Under the full goodwill method, the fair value of the non-controlling interests is determined using valuation techniques which make the maximum use of market information where available. Under this method, goodwill attributable to the non-controlling interests is recognised in the consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in associates.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and is allocated to the Groups cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units, representing the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored being not larger than an operating segment. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the entity disposed of.
Changes in the ownership interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions and do not affect the carrying amounts of goodwill.
(e) Critical accounting estimates and judgments
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed as follows:
Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation Assets
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Company decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether is successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.
Factors which could impact the future recoverability include the level of measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources, future technological changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.
To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation assets are determined not to be recoverable in the future, this will reduce profit and net assets in the period in which this determination is made.
In addition, exploration and evaluation assets are capitalised if activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. To the extent that it is determined in the future that this capitalised expenditure should be written off, this will reduce profits and net assets in the period in which the determination is made.
(f) Revenue recognition
Interest
Revenue is recognised as interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Dividend revenue
Dividend revenue is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income when the right to receive a dividend has been established.
(g) Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the current periods taxable income.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(g) Tax (continued)
The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax assets and tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax assets can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the income statement.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
(i) when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
(ii) receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Balance sheet.
Cash flows are included in the Cash Flow Statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as part of operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
(h) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and short term deposits in the Balance Sheet comprise cash on hand, in banks and money market investments readily convertible into cash within 2 working days. For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash includes cash on hand, in banks, and money market investments readily convertible into cash within 2 working days, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
(i) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice less an allowance for any uncollectible debts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written-off when identified.
(j) Investments
Investments in subsidiaries are carried at lower of cost and recoverable amount. Refer to Note 2(l) for Groups accounting policy on impairment of assets.

(k) Inventories
All inventories are classified as current and measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average cost.
(l) Impairment of assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the assets recoverable amount.
An assets recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the assets value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value.
In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit. If this value exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value is use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).
An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indications exist, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the assets recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the assets revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
(m) Investment in associates
Associates are companies in which the Group has significant influence through holding, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the voting power of the Group. Investments in associates are accounted for in the financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting, whereby the investment is initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Groups share of net assets of the associate company. In addition, the Groups share of the profit or loss of the associate company is included in the Groups profit or loss.
The carrying amount of the investment includes goodwill relating to the associate. Any discount on acquisition whereby the Groups share of the net fair value of the associate exceeds the cost of investment is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.
Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the Groups interest in the associate.
When the Groups share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. When the associate subsequently makes profits, the Group will resume recognising its share of those profits once its share of the profits equals the share of the losses not recognised.
The Groups interests in joint venture entities are recorded using the equity method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements.
Where the Group contributes assets to the joint venture or if the Group purchases assets from the joint venture, only the portion of the gain or loss that is not attributable to the Groups share of the joint venture shall be recognised. The Group recognises the full amount of any loss when the contribution results in a reduction in the net realisable value of current assets or an impairment loss.

Impairment
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If any indication of impairment exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
(o) Exploration and development expenditure
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.
Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.
(p) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(q) Leases
Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and the benefits incidental to ownership.
Operating leases
The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased term, are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis. Contingent rentals are recognised as an expense in the financial year in which they are incurred.
Finance leases
Leases which effectively transfer substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item to the group are capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease payments. A lease liability of equal value is also recognised.
Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease. Minimum lease payments are allocated between interest expense and reduction of the lease liability with the interest expense calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease and recognised directly in the Income Statement. The cost of improvements to or on leasehold property is capitalised, disclosed as leasehold improvements, and amortised over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is the shorter.
(r) Trade and other payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the group prior to the end of the period that are unpaid and arise when the group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
(s) Interest bearing liabilities
All borrowings are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration received net of issue costs associated with the borrowing. After initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any discount or premium on settlement. Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognised and as well as through the amortisation process.
(t) Employment benefits
Short-term benefits
Provision is made for the Groups obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short-term employee benefits are benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, including wages, salaries and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled.
The Groups obligations for short-term employee benefits such as wages, salaries and sick leave are recognised as a part of current trade and other payables in the statement of financial position. The Groups obligations for employees annual leave and long service leave entitlements are recognised as provisions in the statement of financial position.
Other long-term benefits
Provision is made for employees long service leave and annual leave entitlements not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. Other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees. Expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee departures and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. Any remeasurements for changes in assumptions of obligations for other long-term employee benefits are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur.
The Groups obligations for long-term employee benefits are presented as non-current provisions in its statement of financial position, except where the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in which case the obligations are presented as current provisions.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Retirement benefit obligations
All Australian-based employees of the Group receive defined contribution superannuation entitlements, for which the Group pays the fixed superannuation guarantee contribution (9.5% of the employees average ordinary salary for the year ended 30 June 2015) to the employees superannuation fund of choice. All contributions in respect of employees defined contribution entitlements are recognised as an expense when they become payable. The Groups obligation with respect to employees defined contribution entitlements is limited to its obligation for any unpaid superannuation guarantee contributions at the end of the reporting period. All obligations for unpaid superannuation guarantee contributions are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled and are presented as current liabilities in the Groups statement of financial position.
Termination benefits
When applicable, the Group recognises a liability and expense for termination benefits at the earlier of: (a) the date when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer for termination benefits; and (b) when the Group recognises costs for restructuring pursuant to AASB 137: Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and the costs include termination benefits. In either case, unless the number of employees affected is known, the obligation for termination benefits is measured on the basis of the number of employees expected to be affected. Termination benefits that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the annual reporting period in which the benefits are recognised are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid. All other termination benefits are accounted for on the same basis as other long-term employee benefits.
Equity-settled compensation
Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortised over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to the option reserve. The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
(u) Contributed equity
Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company.
Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction, net of tax, of the share proceeds received.
(v) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit/loss attributable to members of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Company, adjusted for:
(i) Costs of servicing equity (other than dividends)
(ii) The after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses
(iii) Other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the year that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

(c) Tax losses
The Group has tax losses for which no deferred tax asset is recognised on the balance sheet that are available indefinitely for offset against future taxable income, subject to continuing to meet relevant statutory tests. As at 30 June 2015 the total revenue losses carried forward were estimated to be approximately $8,863,000. Tax losses incurred prior to 30 June 2010 have been forfeited as the company failed the continuity of ownership test and same business test as required by the Australian taxation legislation in order to utilise company tax losses.
(d) Unrecognised temporary differences
At 30 June 2015, the Group has temporary differences for which a deferred tax asset has not been recognised of approximately $161,321 (2014: $169,614). These temporary differences exclude unused tax losses (see Note 4(c)).
(e) Tax consolidation
Effective from 1 July 2003, Anatolia Energy Ltd and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries formed a tax consolidated group under tax consolidation legislation. Anatolia Energy Ltd is the head entity of the tax consolidate group. Current tax liabilities (assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in the subsidiaries are immediately transferred to the head entity. No deferred tax assets have been recognised with respect to unused tax losses as it is not probable that they will be recoverable in the future.
To date, there is no tax sharing agreement in place for tax liabilities incurred.
Under the terms of the tax funding agreement, Anatolia Energy Ltd and each of the entities in the income tax consolidated group has agreed to pay a tax equivalent payment to or from the head entity, based on the current tax liability or current tax asset of the entity. Such amounts are reflected in the amount receivable or payable to the other entity in the tax consolidated group.
Anatolia Uranium Pty Ltd is not currently eligible to join the tax consolidated group due to a non-resident interposed entity. Anatolia Uranium (BVI) Ltd, Mozawl Mining, Constellres Limited and A Dur Madencilik Ltd Sti are not members of the tax consolidated group, as they are not Australian resident companies and Mozawl Mining is also not wholly owned.

(f) Capital Management
Given the current changing nature of the operations of the Company, the short term gearing objective is for minimal or no debt with all working capital requirements to be met from fresh issues of equity to retail and sophisticated investors.
The company does not propose to pay any dividend for 2015 and considers it unlikely that an interim dividend will be paid during the 2016 financial year.
14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Groups principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents raised from issuing equity instruments and a convertible loan. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the Groups operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. When necessary, the Group may also enter into short term financing transactions, principally debtor factoring, in order to manage cash flows arising from the Groups operations. It is, and has been throughout the financial year, the Groups policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. The main risks arising from the Groups financial instruments are cash flow interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.
The totals for each category of financial instruments, measured in accordance with AASB 139 as detailed in the accounting policies to these financial statements, are as follows:

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 2 to these financial statements.
Interest rate risk
Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows. The Groups exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to cash and cash equivalents. The majority of the Groups cash and cash equivalents is invested with Australian financial institutions. Interest rate risk relating to trade and other payables is not significant and would result in an immaterial impact if interest rates had moved.
At balance date, the Group had the following financial assets exposed to variable interest rate risk that are not designated in cash flow hedges:

(i) Cash and cash equivalents earn interest at floating rates based on the banks variable interest rate and the cash balance. Interest rates during the 2015 financial year varied between 0% and 3.6% (2014: 0% and 10.25%).
At 30 June 2015, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post-tax loss and equity would have been affected as follows:

Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group, which primarily comprises cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to financial loss to the Group. The maximum exposure is equal to the carrying amount of these assets as indicated in the statement of financial position.
14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Credit risk (continued)
The Group manages this risk by investing with recognised credit worthy third parties. Cash and cash equivalents are usually spread amongst a number of financial institutions all of which have credit ratings of AA- or better, to minimise the risk of counterparty default. At year end, the majority of cash and cash equivalents are held by two financial institutions with a credit rating of AA.
The following table provides information regarding the credit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents based on Standards & Poors counterparty credit ratings.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Groups approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they fall due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Groups reputation.
14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Liquidity risk (continued)
The Groups policy is to ensure that trade debtors are repaid and managed within normal industry trading terms.

Foreign exchange risk
Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating due to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the Group holds financial instruments which are other than the Australian functional currency of the Group. With cash and exploration and evaluation assets being held by the Turkish subsidiary A Dur Madencilik Ltd Sti, fluctuations in the exchange rates may impact on the Groups financial results.
The Group has not entered into any derivative financial instruments to hedge such transactions.

The outstanding balance as at 30 June 2015 is 16,650,000 options (2014: 12,150,000). Options granted are expensed over the vesting period of the options. The amount expensed for share based payments during the financial year was $161,885.
The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at year-end was 4.25 years.
The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year was $0.0349. These values were calculated using the Binomial option pricing model using the following inputs:
· |
|
Share price: |
|
$0.06 - $0.08 |
|
· |
|
Expected average life of the option: |
|
1 - 3 years |
|
· |
|
Expected share price volatility: |
|
100% |
|
· |
|
Risk-free interest rate: |
|
2.25% |
|
The expected volatility of the Company has been determined having regard to the historical volatility of the market price of the Companys shares. The life of the options is based on the expected exercise patterns, which may not eventuate in the future.
(i) Unlisted options were approved for issue to the directors of the Company at the General Meeting held on 8 October 2014 and were subsequently issued on 9 October 2014. The exercise price, expiry date and vesting dates of the options are as follows:

Exhibit 99.2
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in connection with the acquisition of Anatolia Energy Ltd (Anatolia) by Uranium Resources Inc. (URI) (the Transaction). The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of URI and Anatolia, and have been adjusted to reflect the Transaction. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 gives effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred on June 30, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014 both give effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred on January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect the results of operations or the financial position of URI that actually would have resulted had the Transaction occurred at the dates indicated, or project the results of operations or financial position of URI for any future date or period.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of URI and Anatolia including the notes thereto, which are incorporated by reference or included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Anatolias historical consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS), which differ in certain respects from the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Adjustments were made to Anatolias financial statements to convert those from IFRS to U.S. GAAP as well as reclassifications to conform Anatolias historical accounting presentation to URIs accounting presentation. Adjustments were also made to translate Anatolias financial statements from Australian dollars to U.S. dollars based on applicable historical exchange rates, which may differ from future exchange rates. These adjustments reflect URIs best estimates based upon the information available to date and are preliminary and subject to change once more detailed information is obtained.
The Transaction will be accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Under this method, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded based on preliminary estimates of fair value. The actual fair values will be determined upon the consummation of the transaction and may vary from these preliminary estimates.
The pro forma adjustments are based upon the best available information and certain assumptions that URI believes to be reasonable. Further, these adjustments could materially change as both the determination of the purchase price and the allocation of the purchase price for Anatolia has not been finalized. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the final allocation of the purchase price will not differ from the preliminary allocation reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in connection with the acquisition of Anatolia by URI. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and give effect to the Transaction pursuant to the assumptions described in Notes 3, 4 and 5 to these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as at June 30, 2015 gives effect to the proposed Transaction by URI as if it had occurred on June 30, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 gives effect to the Transaction as if had occurred on January 1, 2014. Additionally, URIs unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 gives effect to URIs divestiture of its Roca Honda Assets which closed on July 30, 2015 subsequent to June 30, 2015. Anatolias financial statements are prepared under IFRS and have been conformed to U.S. GAAP for inclusion in these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. These adjustments are discussed in Note 4.
The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements to give effect to events that are (1) directly attributable to the pro forma events, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations do not reflect any nonrecurring charges directly related to the pro forma events incurred upon the closing of the Transaction. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial condition that would have been achieved if the proposed Transaction had been completed on the dates or for the periods presented, nor do they purport to project the results of operations or financial position of the consolidated entities for any future period or as of any future date.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or efficiencies that the combined company may achieve as a result of the Transaction or for liabilities resulting from integration planning, except for certain severance costs related to management and directors of Anatolia. However, liabilities ultimately may be recorded for severance, relocation or retention costs in subsequent periods related to employees of both companies or other costs associated with exiting or transferring activities between the companies. The ultimate recognition of such costs and liabilities would affect amounts in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, and such costs and liabilities could be material.
The pro forma adjustments and allocations of the purchase price of Anatolia are based on preliminary estimates of the fair value of the consideration paid and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities to be assumed. Because the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final purchase price allocation and the resulting effect on financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts included herein. URI expects to finalize its allocation of the purchase consideration as soon after completion of the Transaction as practicable.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheets and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of URI and Anatolia, including the notes thereto. Certain of Anatolias assets, liabilities, income and expenses have been reclassified to conform to URIs consolidated financial statement presentation.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies used in preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are set out in URIs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company has adjusted Anatolias financial statements to conform to U.S. GAAP and URIs accounting policies and these adjustments are discussed in Note 4. Additional accounting differences may be identified after consummation of the proposed Transaction.
3. Description of the Transactions
Acquisition of Anatolia Energy Ltd.
On June 3, 2015, URI entered into the Transaction Agreement with Anatolia pursuant to which URI agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Anatolia. Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, shareholders of Anatolia will receive 0.06579 common shares of URI for each ordinary share of Anatolia held. Each outstanding Anatolia performance share, listed option or unlisted option will automatically be converted into a performance share, listed option or unlisted option (as applicable) to acquire common shares of URI, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the performance share or option (as applicable) prior to the Transaction, except that the number of shares subject to the performance share or options and the exercise price of the performance share or options will be adjusted based on the fair value of the performance shares and options prior to the completion of the Transaction, as to preserve the economic value of such performance shares or options. Based on the outstanding shares of URI and Anatolia as at June 30, 2015, URIs shareholders will own approximately 59% of the shares of URI upon completion of the transaction and Anatolia shareholders will own approximately 41% of the common shares of URI.
The obligations of URI and Anatolia to consummate the Transaction are subject to satisfactory completion of various conditions.
The cost of the Transaction will include the fair value of the issuance of 20,516,696 URI common shares of $16.2 million (based on the November 2, 2015 closing price of $0.79 for URIs shares), and the issuance of 769,258 replacement performance shares and 6,973,314 replacement listed and unlisted options with a fair value of $2.1 million. In addition, URI estimates transaction costs of $3.1 million of which $0.9 million were incurred though June 30, 2015 and Anatolia transaction costs of $1.4 million, of which $0.1 million were incurred though June 30, 2015. These costs are not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations as they are nonrecurring.
The Transaction will be accounted for as a business combination under U.S. GAAP. For the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet, the value of the share consideration has been based on the closing price of URIs shares on November 2, 2015 (the effective date of presentation of the Transaction for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet). URI will value the share consideration component based on the closing price of URIs shares on the date the Transaction closes, which may result in an increase or decrease in the consideration for accounting purposes. For every $0.01 change in share price of the URI, the purchase price will change by $0.2 million.
The allocation of the purchase price is based upon management of URIs preliminary estimates and certain assumptions with respect to the fair value associated with the assets and the liabilities to be acquired. The actual fair values of the assets and liabilities may differ materially from the amounts disclosed below in the assumed pro forma purchase price allocation as further analysis is completed. Consequently, the actual allocation of the purchase price is likely to result in different adjustments than those in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.
The preliminary allocation of fair value assumed in these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements is as of June 30, 2015, subject to change and is summarized as follows:

Issuance of 20,516,696 shares of common stock of URI (1) |

Purchase and Exchange Agreement with Energy Fuels
On June 26, 2015, URI and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the Purchase and Exchange Agreement) with Energy Fuels Inc. and a subsidiary of Energy Fuels Inc. (collectively, Energy Fuels), pursuant to which subsidiaries of URI will transfer ownership of URIs Roca Honda Project, including mineral fee lands and unpatented lode mining claims in Sections 8 and 17 of Township 13 North, Range 8 West, covering approximately 1,240 acres, and 3,382 acres of leased claims, to Energy Fuels. In exchange, Energy Fuels will deliver to URI or its subsidiaries (i) $2.5 million in cash, (ii) $375,000 value in Energy Fuels Inc.s shares, based on the volume weighted average price of Energy Fuels stock on the NYSE MKT stock exchange for the 20 trading days ending on May 26, 2015 and subject to a four-month hold period from the date of closing, (iii) Energy Fuels 4% gross royalty covering 5,640 acres on seven mineral leases in the State of Wyoming at the Kendrick and Barber areas of the Lance uranium in-situ recovery project, which is currently under construction by Peninsula Energy Limited, and (iv) unpatented lode mining claims covering 640 acres in Section 4 of Township 16 North, Range 18 West, located near Churchrock, New Mexico, which are contiguous. with URIs Churchrock Project, as well as claims in Section 34 and leases from the State of New Mexico in Sections 32 and 36, all situated in Township 17 North, Range 16 West.
A subsidiary of URI will also retain a 4% royalty on Section 17 of the Roca Honda project. The royalty can be repurchased by Energy Fuels upon payment to the URI subsidiary of $5.0 million cash at
any time at Energy Fuels sole discretion prior to the date on which the first royalty payment becomes due.
The divestiture of the Roca Honda Assets will be accounted for as a fixed asset disposal and the non-cash consideration received from Energy Fuels Inc. will be recorded at fair value. The fair value assumed in these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements is as of the date of closing, July 31, 2015, and is as follows:
(in thousands) |
|

|
2,123 |
| |

|
|
| |
|
|
$ |

|
The fair value of the common stock received was determined using the value of the shares received based on the closing share price of Energy Fuels Inc. common stock on the date of which the common stock was received. The fair value of the unpatented lode mining claims and mineral leases was determined based upon the per pound value of similar transactions involving unproved uranium assets within the last four years. URI determined that the Lance Royalty had de minimis value and therefore recorded a fair value of nil.
4. International Financial Reporting Standards
Differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS
URIs management reviewed the historic accounting records and financial statements of Anatolia for the periods presented and identified the material differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP. URIs accounting policies are set out in URIs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014
To conform to U.S. GAAP the following adjustments were made:
(a) Adjustment to property, plant and equipment to expense capital costs from inception to June 30, 2015 related to exploration and evaluation of mineral properties including property holding costs not attributable to the purchase of mineral assets that were previously capitalized under IFRS of $12.0 million, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
(b) Adjustment to accrued liabilities and paid-in capital of $23,000 to reclassify the value of the conversion feature of the convertible loan outstanding between URI and Anatolia from paid-in capital to accrued liabilities. Under IFRS, convertible debt instruments are required to be separated into debt and equity components. Under U.S. GAAP, bifurcation only occurs if the convertible debt instrument contains a beneficial conversion feature or a below market interest rate. As at the date of the execution of the loan agreement and upon advancement of funds the market price of Anatolias common stock was equal to the conversion rate under the loan agreement and therefore no beneficial conversion feature existed.
(c) Adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income to expense the cumulative foreign translation reserve from inception to June 30, 2015 related to the translation of Anatolias foreign entitys financial statements into Anatolias reporting currency of $0.9 million, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under U.S. GAAP, the functional currency of Anatolias Turkish entity was determined to be the Australian dollar.
(d) Adjustment to mineral property expense of $1.7 million and $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively, to expense exploration and evaluation costs which were previously capitalized under IFRS.
(e) Adjustment to mineral property impairment expense of $9,000 and $257,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively, to reverse the impairment charge taken under IFRS as these amounts would have been expensed as incurred in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
(f) Adjustment to foreign exchange gain and other comprehensive income of $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively, to reclassify as current expense the foreign translation adjustments which were previously included as other comprehensive income under IFRS. Under U.S. GAAP, the functional currency of Anatolias Turkish entity was determined to be the Australian dollar.
5. Pro Forma Assumptions and Adjustments
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the following adjustments to give effect to the Transaction as described in Note 3:
(a) Represents Anatolias audited historical balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 under IFRS. The information for Anatolia and the pro forma adjustments were originally denominated in Australian dollars and have been converted to U.S. dollars based on the period end rate of U.S.$1.00 A$0.7687.
(b) To recognize the preliminary estimated fair value of Anatolias assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Transaction. The adjustment includes the assumption that the allocation of the estimated difference between consideration and the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded to the mineral licenses with no amount allocated to goodwill. This allocation is preliminary and is subject to change due to several factors including (i) detailed valuations of assets and liabilities which have not been completed as of the date of this proxy statement; and (ii) subsequent changes in the fair values of Anatolias assets and liabilities up to the closing date of the merger.
The allocation of the estimated fair value of consideration transferred (based on the closing price of URIs common stock as of November 2, 2015) to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulted in the following purchase price allocation adjustments:
(i) an increase in property, plant and equipment of $13.1 million to reflect the mineral licenses at fair value.
(ii) an increase in accrued liabilities of $1.3 million which includes: (i) $0.3 million for severance payable to certain of Anatolias executives who have employment agreements with Anatolia that contain automatic change in control provisions; and (ii) $1.0 million for estimated transaction costs and expenses incurred by Anatolia related to the Transaction Agreement. The impact of these severance payments and bonuses was not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations due to their nonrecurring nature.
(c) To reflect an adjustment of $2.2 million for URIs estimated costs and expenses of the transaction from July 1, 2015 to the close of the transaction. The impact of the estimated costs and expenses of the Transaction was not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations due to their nonrecurring nature. Through June 30, 2015, URI incurred
transaction costs of $0.9 million and Anatolia had incurred transaction costs of $0.1 million (see Note 5(i)).
(d) To reflect the estimated increase in URIs common stock and additional paid-in capital resulting from the issuance of URI shares and options to Anatolia shareholders to effect the arrangement as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
URI common stock to be issued |
|
20,516,696 |

(e) To reflect the elimination of the historical equity balances of Anatolia in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting;
(f) To reflect the elimination of the loan between URI and Anatolia as an intercompany transaction;
(g) To reflect the preliminary estimated fair value of the consideration to be received upon closing of the sale of the Roca Honda assets. The corresponding gain of $4.9 million was not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations as this nonrecurring item is directly attributable to the sale of the Roca Honda assets;
(h) The financial information for Anatolia contained within the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 is derived from the historical audited consolidated financial statements under IFRS adjusted for the following to derive a comparable reporting period with URI:
(i) Information for the six-month period ended December 31, 2014 is included in the pro forma financial information for Anatolia; and
(ii) Information for the six-month period ended December 31, 2013 has not been included in the pro forma financial information for Anatolia
The information for Anatolia and the pro forma adjustments were originally denominated in Australian dollars and have been converted to U.S. dollars based on the average exchange rate of U.S.$1.00 = A$0.7820 for the six months ending June 30, 2015 and on the average exchange rate of U.S.$1.00 = A$0.9032 for the year ending December 31, 2014.
(i) An adjustment of $1.0 million to general and administrative expenses for transaction related costs incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as they are non-recurring.

NEWS RELEASE |
URI Successfully Completes Anatolia Merger
A New Chapter Begins Headed Towards Production
CENTENNIAL, Colo., November 8, 2015; PERTH, Australia, November 9, 2015 Uranium Resources, Inc. (Nasdaq: URRE; URI) announced today closure of the merger with Anatolia Energy Ltd. On November 10, 2015, the new URI shares exchanged for Anatolia shares will begin trading on Nasdaq under its existing trading symbol (as URRE) and on the ASX as CDIs under the new trading symbol URI. On the same day, new URI quoted options exchanged for Anatolia quoted options will begin trading on the ASX as CDIs under the new trading symbol URIO.
Highlights
· Transformational merger with Anatolia is now completed, and integration of the two businesses is well underway, putting URI on an expedited path to return to uranium production.
· URI is actively progressing the high-grade, low-cost Temrezli ISR Project in Central Turkey, with the objective of commencing development during CY2016.
· With a cash operating cost of US$16.89/lb. and all-in operating costs of less US$30.17/lb. indicated by the Pre-Feasibility Study (Feb 2015), the project is capable of generating a robust free cash flow and returns to shareholders, even at the current uranium price.
· URI is targeting completion and reporting of a formal update to the Pre-Feasibility Study for the Temrezli Project in Q1 2016.
· URI has significant management and operational experience, as well as licensed ISR processing facilities to successfully implement its plan.
· With an enterprise value of less than US$45 million today, and owning one of the worlds lowest cost uranium projects capable of entering development in the near-term, URI is well placed for a share price re-rating as it achieves a number of significant project milestones.
· The new and expanded URI expects to continue with its demonstrated proactive M&A strategy to grow the company and re-align its portfolio pipeline towards the lowest-quartile cost projects.
· URI has a well-timed production growth profile and significant operational leverage to the favorable future outlook for uranium prices.
Christopher M. Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer of URI, said, With this transformational merger now completed, we now turn our immediate attention to completing the permitting process for the high-grade, low-cost Temrezli ISR Project , and moving into development during 2016. The more we study Temrezli, the more confident we are that this is one of the best undeveloped in-situ recovery uranium projects in the world.
Temrezli Project Update
URI has retained Roscoe Postle Associates, Inc. (RPA) to update the February 2015 Temrezli Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS), something that URI expects to have ready in Q1 2016. Included in the update to the PFS will be the consideration of the substantial capital cost savings and other synergies expected to be realized through the merger.
Concurrent with the ongoing environmental permitting process for Temrezli in Turkey, URIs experienced technical team is working on multiple fronts, from relocating its Rosita processing plant and implementing wellfield design to securing current drilling quotes and sourcing of new equipment for inclusion in the update to the PFS. The results of this work will feed into the updated PFS.
The updated technical report and economic analysis of the project will utilize key assumptions that URI applied to the project in the merger due diligence process, including the relocation and utilization of the Rosita facilitys processing equipment. RPA is being supported in this endeavor by DRA Taggart (processing and infrastructure factors) and Arcadis Canada Inc. (environmental and social factors).
The low-cost profile of the Temrezli Project, and low capital cost to develop the project, mean that URI is now positioned as one of the few companies globally that has the potential to enter uranium production in the near term. Furthermore, URIs history of operating ISR uranium projects in the USA, its idle Rosita ISR facility available to be utilized at Temrezli, and in-house expertise in this field, ensure that URI has the ability to deliver the project into uranium production as planned.
