Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including but not limited to, statements regarding estimation of uranium production and pricing, which are based on information from the uranium producers who are planning to produce uranium from lands in which the Company holds a royalty interest. Actual results and future developments could differ materially from the results or developments expressed in or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, volatility of uranium prices, market supply and demand, competition, environmental hazards, health and safety conditions, regulation or government action, litigation and uncertainties about estimates of reserves. For a discussion of the factors, including without limitation, those that could materially and adversely affect Excalibur’s actual results and performance, see “Risk Factors” set forth on pages 4 and 5 of Excalibur’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013. Excalibur undertakes no obligation, other than that imposed by law, to make any revisions to the forward-looking statements contained in this filing or to update them to reflect circumstances occurring after the date of this filing.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed financial statements and notes presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the financial statements and notes in the last filed Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the period ended May 31, 2013 for a full understanding of the Company’s financial position.
Background
Excalibur Industries (“Excalibur”) is a Utah corporation formed by the consolidation of Tower Enterprises (formerly Moab Uranium Company) and The Thrifty Helper on June 1, 1971. In January 1972, Excalibur purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Mountain West Mines, Inc. (“Mountain West”), a Nevada corporation, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Excalibur. Excalibur and Mountain West are hereinafter collectively referred to as Excalibur or Company.
Excalibur is a natural resource business enterprise focused on uranium, an industry that has seen a long period of volatility in production and pricing following the 1979 incident at the Three Mile Island power station and the vents at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi power station after being severely damaged by a tsunami in 2011, which continues to be in the news for radioactive leakage. However, most industry pundits continue to forecast a positive future for the industry, including a major increase in pricing of yellow cake, in the near term.
Current Activity
Excalibur’s uranium position in the Powder River Basin is maintained by royalty agreements held by Excalibur and Mountain West with two uranium producers, Uranerz Energy Corporation and Cameco. Uranerz is in the final stages of construction of a facility at its Nichols Ranch property and now plans to commence ISL production in the 1st quarter of 2014. The Company holds a 6% or 8% (depending on the spot price of uranium) royalty interest in the Nichols Ranch property. After startup debugging, Uranerz plans to produce 600,000 pounds of yellow cake per year from the Nichols Ranch property. Uranerz still faces many hurdles, financial and otherwise, before uranium production commences, and the timing and amount of production by Uranez are subject to change and beyond the control of the Company. The Company has an advance royalty repayment obligation of $250,000.00 to Uranerz once production commences. Cameco has begun yellow cake production from its recently completed facility at the North Butte property, in which the Company holds a 4% royalty interest. Cameco and the Company successfully negotiated a new royalty agreement, effective July 1, 2013, to replace the pricing methodology of an outdated agreement. The new agreement bases the royalty calculation on Cameco’s quarterly average realized uranium price as reported in Cameco’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Cameco expects to produce 300,000 pounds of yellow cake from the North Butte property in 2013, increasing to 700,000 pounds annually by 2015. Again, the timing and amount of production reported by Cameco are subject to change and are beyond the control of the Company. Cameco’s production from the North Butte for July-September resulted in a royalty credit of $295,534.72 applied to the Company’s advance royalty repayment obligation, reducing the balance to $1,123,751.88. The total advance royalty repayment obligation for both Uranerz and Cameco is now $1,373,751.88.
