Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
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, 2014. 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, 2014 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 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan, crippling the Fukushima-Daiichi atomic power plant, and leading to the shutdown of nearly all reactors in the country. However, most industry analysts continue to forecast a positive future for the industry, including a major increase in pricing of yellowcake, in the long 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 (Uranerz) and Cameco.
Uranerz has constructed a uranium processing facility at the Nichols Ranch property, in which Excalibur holds a royalty interest. On April 15, 2014, Uranerz received the final approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to begin operations at Nichols Ranch. Excalibur holds a 6% or 8% royalty interest (depending on the spot price of uranium) in the Nichols Ranch property. The Nichols Ranch is currently in a commissioning period, and uranium production began in June of 2014. The June production yielded 14,592.0 pounds of uranium concentrate and resulted in a credit of $25,959.17 towards the advance royalty balance, which has been reduced to $224,040.83 as of June 30, 2014. Uranerz had planned to produce between 350,000 and 500,000 pounds of yellowcake in 2014 from the Nichols Ranch property but has experienced startup issues, common for a new operation, that have hampered production. The timing and amount of production by Uranez are subject to change and beyond the control of Excalibur.
Cameco continues yellowcake production from its facility at the North Butte property, in which the Company holds a 4% royalty interest. The royalty to be paid to Excalibur is based on Cameco’s quarterly average realized uranium price as reported in Cameco’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Cameco produced 257,651.7 pounds of yellowcake from the North Butte property in 2014 through June. Cameco expects to increase the North Butte production 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 Excalibur. Cameco’s production from North Butte for April-June resulted in a royalty credit of $227,269.91 applied to the Company’s advance royalty repayment obligation, reducing the balance to $298,006.86. The total advance royalty repayment obligation for both Uranerz and Cameco is $522,047.69 as of June 30, 2014.
4
The Company has an additional financial obligation of $100,000.00 to Cliffs Natural Resources under a 2009 Settlement Agreement and Release.
Executive Compensation. The Company’s Board of Directors at their December 30 meeting approved executive compensation for Jay R. Mackie and Michael P. Johnson effective January 1, 2014, in the amount of $11,000 per month for Mr. Mackie and $1,250 per month for Mr. Johnson, with all 2014 compensation deferred until May 15, 2015. As of August 31, 2014, $10,000 is owed to Mr. Johnson and $88,000 is owed to Mr. Mackie.
Severance Pay. At the Company’s October 16 meeting, the Board approved a severance payment of $100,000 for former Company Secretary/Treasurer Marguerite Emanuel, and $300,000 for the Company’s long standing President & CEO Joseph P. Hubert. Ms. Emanuel served as Secretary/Treasurer of the Company from 2001 to 2012, without monetary compensation. Mr. Hubert was elected President & CEO in 1982 and received no monetary compensation from 1999 to his retirement in 2012. These severance payments are deferred until the Company’s financial position allows payment.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2014, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
