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 Page 4 of Excalibur’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015. 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.
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 an 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 with two uranium producers, Energy Fuels, Inc., which acquired Uranerz Energy Corporation in June 2015 (“Energy Fuels”), and Cameco Corporation (“Cameco”).
With the acquisition of Uranerz Energy Corporation, Energy Fuels now operates the uranium processing facility at the Nichols Ranch property, in which Excalibur holds a royalty interest (6% or 8% depending on the spot price of uranium). The Nichols Ranch facility was commissioned in April 2014, and uranium production began in June 2014. Energy Fuels/Uranerz produced a total of 83,326.0 pounds of uranium concentrate (“yellowcake”) from the Nichols Ranch in the fourth calendar quarter of 2015, resulting in a royalty payment of $180,334.13. Production from the Nichols Ranch in calendar year 2015 was about 280,000 pounds. Energy Fuels has announced that it is increasing production at Nichols Ranch in 2016 with additional header houses scheduled to come online in March and July. The timing and amount of production by Energy Fuels/Uranez are subject to change and beyond the control of Excalibur.
Cameco continues uranium production from its facility at the North Butte property, in which Excalibur 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 94,298.6 pounds of uranium concentrate from the North Butte in the fourth calendar quarter of 2015, resulting in a royalty payment of $174,867.32. Cameco produced about 405,000 pounds of uranium concentrate from the North Butte in 2015. Cameco’s production outlook is for a decreased in production in 2016. Again, the timing and amount of production reported by Cameco are subject to change and are beyond the control of Excalibur.
Excalibur owed $100,000 to Cliffs Natural Resources under a 2009 Settlement Agreement and Release. A payment of $50,000 was made in December 2015, and the final installment of $50,000 is expected to be made in December 2016.
Executive Compensation. Effective January 1, 2016, Jay R. Mackie, Excalibur’s President and CEO, is compensated at the rate of $8,000 per month plus restrictive stock with a total aggregate market value of approximately $40,000 annually, paid quarterly, and Michael P. Johnson, Excalibur’s Secretary and Treasurer, is compensated at the rate of $1,250 per month. Beginning January 1, 1016, all Board members will be compensated $2,500 annually plus restrictive stock with a total aggregate fair market value of approximately $1,500 annually, paid quarterly.
Severance Pay. In February 2016, the final installments to satisfy the severance obligation of $300,000 to Excalibur’s former president, Joseph P. Hubert, and $100,000 to Excalibur’s former secretary/treasurer, Marguerite Emanuel were made.
