Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements |
September 30, 2013 |
(Expressed in US dollars) |
(Unaudited) |
1. | Nature of Operations |
Uranerz Energy Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A. on May 26, 1999. Effective July 5, 2005, the Company changed its name from Carleton Ventures Corp. to Uranerz Energy Corporation. The Company has mineral property interests in the United States. |
|
The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 915, Development Stage Entities, as modified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Industry Guide 7. The Companys principal business is the acquisition, exploration and exploitation of uranium and other mineral resources. |
|
As at September 30, 2013, the Company has an accumulated deficit, working capital deficiency of $1,065,590, debt with a fair value of $6,150,000 and cash on hand of $7,548,367. The Companys operating expenditure plan for the following 12 months will require additional cash. To meet the cash requirement to carry out its plans, the Company will be required to raise financing through borrowing, issuing additional shares, or a combination of borrowing and issuing additional shares. Accordingly, there are material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Management has plans in place to address the Companys cash requirements. The completion of any plans is dependent on various factors, some of which are beyond managements control, and there can be no assurance that they will be successful. |
|
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
a) | Basis of Presentation |
|
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the SEC instructions for companies filing Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2013, and the results of operations and cash flows for the period then ended. The financial data and other information disclosed in the notes to the interim consolidated financial statements related to this period are unaudited. The results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or the entire year ending December 31, 2013. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been condensed pursuant to the SECs rules and regulations and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed on April 29, 2013 with the SEC. |
||
These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of an unincorporated venture, Arkose Mining Venture (Arkose) in which the Company holds an 81% interest and maintains majority voting control. The Companys fiscal year-end is December 31. |
||
b) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. |
||
c) | Mineral Property Costs |
|
The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and exploitation of mineral properties with the objective of extracting minerals from these properties. |
||
Mineral property exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs are expensed as incurred until proven and probable reserves are established. Subsequent development costs are capitalized. Costs for acquired mineral properties and mineral rights are initially capitalized when incurred, then assessed quarterly for impairment under ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. The Company has not established proven or probable reserves on any of its mineral projects. |

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
|
d) | Asset Retirement Obligations |
|
United States regulatory authorities require the Company to restore and reclaim its mine area after mining is completed. Pursuant to ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, the fair value of an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Upon initial recognition of a liability, the fair value of the liability is expensed or added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. Future reclamation and remediation costs are accrued based on management's best estimate at the end of each period of the costs expected to be incurred to remediate each project. |
||
Estimations and assumptions used in applying the expected present value technique to determine fair values are reviewed periodically. At September 30, 2013, the Company had accrued $1,200,701 for restoration and reclamation obligations (December 31, 2012 - $1,071,843). |
||
Estimated site restoration costs for exploration activities are accrued when incurred. Costs for environmental remediation are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, available technology and industry standards. Any change in these estimates is included in mineral property expenditures during the period and the actual restoration expenditure incurred is charged to the accumulated asset retirement obligation provision as the restoration work is completed. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has recorded $39,000 for well reclamation obligations in accrued liabilities for which work is required as part of its on-going exploration expenses. |
||
e) | Income Taxes |
|
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward and mineral property acquisition, exploration and development costs. The potential benefits of deferred income tax assets have not been recognized in these consolidated financial statements because the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not to utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years. |
||
f) | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements |
|
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements. |
||
Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income |
||
In February, 2013, ASC guidance was issued related to items reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The new standard requires either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements: (i) the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and (ii) the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. The update was effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013. The guidance did not have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
||
Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities |
||
In November 2011, ASC guidance was issued related to disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The new standard requires disclosures to allow investors to better compare financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP with financial statements prepared under IFRS. The update was effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Retrospective application was required. The Company adopted ACU 2011-11 as of January 1, 2013. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. |
||
In January 2013, ASC guidance was issued to clarify that the disclosure requirements are limited to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (i) offset in the financial statements or (ii) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The updated guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
|
g) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
The Company categorizes its financial instruments into a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Fair value is determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants exclusive of any transaction costs. |
||
The Companys financial assets recorded at fair value are categorized as follows: |
||
Level 1 Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. |
||
Level 2 Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets. |
||
Level 3 Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable. |
||
3. | Cash |
|
At September 30, 2013, the Company had $7,548,367 (December 31, 2012 $7,016,710) in cash. Pursuant to ASC 820 the fair value of cash is determined based on Level 1 inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company places cash investments in instruments that meet credit quality standards, as specified in the Companys investment policy guidelines. |

8. | Secured Notes Payable |
On June 6, 2013 the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement whereby $6,000,000 was received in exchange for secured promissory notes (the Notes) bearing interest from the date of issue at 6% per annum increasing to 10% per annum on August 16, 2013 when the notes were not repaid. In addition, the principal amount of the Notes also increased to $6,150,000 when the Notes were not repaid prior to August 16, 2013. The Notes are secured by the Companys mineral properties, equipment and personal property and mature at the earlier of: i) the 30th day following execution and delivery by the Company of all documents to be executed and delivered by the Company in respect of a pending financing facility (State of Wyoming Industrial Revenue Bond) and (ii) December 31, 2013. |
|
As additional consideration for the loan, the Company issued non-transferable common stock purchase warrants entitling the holders to purchase from the Company 1,600,000 common shares at an exercise price of $1.60 per share, of which 1,200,000 warrants were immediately exercisable and 400,000 additional warrants exercisable only if the Notes remain outstanding after August 15, 2013. The Notes contain restrictive covenants with respect to indebtedness and material corporate changes. The warrants expire 30 months from the date of issue, subject to an acceleration option exercisable by the Company in the event that the Companys common shares trade at a closing price on the NYSE MKT of greater than $2.75 per share for 20 consecutive trading days. No warrants have been exercised as at September 30, 2013. |
|
The proceeds from the Notes were allocated based on the relative fair values of the Notes without the warrants issued in conjunction with the Notes and of the warrants themselves at the time of issuance. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using a binomial lattice model with the following assumptions at June 6, 2013: risk-free rate of 0.48%, expected volatility of 78% and an expected term of 2.50 years. |
|
The Company recorded the relative fair value of the warrants of $525,461 at the time of issuance as additional paid in capital and as a debt discount to the Notes. The Company also recognized a discount equal to the additional $150,000 principal on August 16, 2013. The Company will amortize this debt discount as interest expense over the life of the Notes. At September 30, 2013, the Company recorded amortized interest expense of $544,911 and increased the carrying value of the notes to $6,019,450. |
|
The Company incurred financing costs associated with the issuance of the Notes of $296,840. |

13. | Shareholder Rights Plan |
The Company has adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan (the "Plan") effective August 25, 2010 and reconfirmed it on July 10, 2013. The Plan confers one right per share to shareholders (a "Right") for each of the Companys outstanding shares of common stock, as at August 25, 2010 and for shares of common stock issued thereafter. Each Right will be evidenced by the Company's shares of common stock and will trade with the Company's shares of common stock. Under the terms of the Plan, the Rights separate and become exercisable upon a flip- in event: A flip-in event occurs if a person or group acquires 20% or more of the Company's common stock other than through a take-over bid which meets certain requirements, among them that the take-over bid offer be extended to all shareholders, that it remain open for 60 days, and that it receive approval of not less than 50% of independent shareholders. If a flip-in event occurs as described in the Plan, the Rights entitle the holder of each Right to purchase, for $8.75 per share (the exercise price), that number of shares of common stock of the Company which has a market value of twice the exercise price, subject to certain adjustments as provided under the Plan. The Plan is effective for a three-year period, until the close of the Companys 2016 Annual General Meeting. |

General
We are a U.S.-based uranium company focused on achieving near-term commercial in-situ recovery (ISR) of uranium. ISR is a mining process that uses a leaching solution to dissolve uranium from sandstone uranium deposits; it is the generally accepted extraction technology used in the Powder River Basin area of Wyoming. We control a large strategic land position in the central Powder River Basin. Our management team has specialized expertise in the ISR uranium mining method, and a record of licensing, constructing, and operating ISR uranium projects.
Our Powder River Basin properties include:
Our 100% owned properties are comprised of unpatented lode mining claims, state leases and fee (private) mineral leases, summarized as follows:

(1) Subject to various royalties.
Through a combination of claim staking, purchasing and leasing, we have also acquired interests in projects that lie within the Powder River Basin but outside of the project areas discussed above. These additional properties include the Verna Ann, Niles Ranch and Reno Creek projects. However, due to our focus on other activities, we have not yet made any development decisions on these projects.
Information regarding the location of and access to our Wyoming properties, together with the history of operations, present condition and geology of each of our significant properties, is presented in Item 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2012 under the heading Description of Properties, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on April 29, 2013.
During this quarter we have continued construction of our processing facility and installation of our first wellfield at our Nichols Ranch ISR Uranium Project in the Powder River Basin. The processing facility is over 95% complete and the wellfield is substantially complete. We completed the installation of two deep disposal wells and have scheduled a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pre-operational inspection for mid-November, 2013.
We are continuing preparation of the environmental permit and license applications for the Jane Dough unit, which is adjacent to the area currently being constructed at the Nichols Ranch unit and will share its infrastructure. This will provide us with the option to revise our plan of operations to bring our Jane Dough unit into recovery operations before the Hank unit of our Nichols Ranch Mine; Jane Dough fluids can be delivered to our Nichols Ranch Mine processing facility by pipeline, thus eliminating the need to build a satellite processing facility. Jane Dough includes the Doughstick, South Doughstick and North Jane properties. Additional units may be added as we assess our geological data. Other strategies are also being considered for Hank, possibly in concert with other properties. We may continue the exploration and, if warranted, the potential future development and strategic planning of our other Wyoming Powder River Basin properties.
Our first mining unit is expected to be recovering uranium later this year or in early 2014. Regulatory milestones are being pursued in order to meet start-up requirements following completion of the processing facility and wellfield construction activities and connections to our two deep disposal wells. The Nichols Ranch ISR Uranium Project is licensed for a recovery level of up to two million pounds of uranium per year with initial annual recovery dependent upon the extraction efficiency in our first wellfield and market factors. The project will also serve as a platform to advance our other Powder River Basin properties with potential enhanced economics for adjacent and satellite projects. Cameco and Uranium One, two of the largest ISR uranium mining companies in the world, are continuing to extract uranium near the Uranerz properties in the Powder River Basin.
None of our projects has proven or probable reserves as defined in the SECs Industry Guide 7 and our operations on our projects and properties are exploratory in nature under Industry Guide 7 standards.
During the third quarter of 2013 we:
Financial Position
The Company’s overall financial position is disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC on April 29, 2013 and the unaudited consolidated Financial Statements at September 30, 2013 as provided herein under the section heading “Financial Statements” above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are carrying out an exploration, environmental and uranium recovery program with a budget of approximately $26,000,000 in 2013 as reported in our Annual Report. This plan anticipates completion of the processing facility, deep disposal wells and initial wellfield of our Nichols Ranch ISR Uranium Project in late 2013, with recovery commencing shortly thereafter. Startup was extended to accommodate the installation of two deep disposal wells, now complete. Mineral property acquisitions, dependent upon opportunities that may arise, will be additional expenditures.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, operational expenditures incurred were $10,401,785 and $17,557,291 respectively. These expenditures include mine development costs incurred for the Nichols Ranch project totaling $42,831,585 at September 30, 2013, all of which have been expensed in accordance with the Companys status as an exploration stage company pursuant to the SECs Industry Guide 7.
At September 30, 2013 we had cash of $7,548,367 and a working capital deficiency of $1,065,590, as compared to cash of $7,016,710 and working capital of $5,718,050 as at December 31, 2012. Current liabilities at September 30, 2013 include Notes Payable of $6,019,450 due December 31, 2013. Our cash is invested in bank savings accounts where it is available on demand.
Net cash used in operating activities was $14,266,759 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $22,976,302 for the corresponding period in 2012, reduced significantly as project construction costs were lower by $5,088,673. Net cash used to purchase property and equipment was $35,927 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $360,670 used in the corresponding period in 2012.
Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $14,834,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily from proceeds from notes payable (a bridge loan) and an equity issue, compared to $476,999 provided in the corresponding period in 2012 when no financing transactions occurred.
During the twelve-month period following the date of this quarterly report, we anticipate that we will begin to generate a modest amount of revenue. The Nichols Ranch project is expected to incur additional expenditures of approximately $4 million before the Nichols Ranch ISR Unit is ready for uranium extraction by late 2013 or early 2014. We anticipate that these expenditures will be paid for from cash on hand and from additional financing. For this purpose, we have applied for a State of Wyoming Industrial Development Revenue Bond in the amount of $20 million (Bond Financing). These funds if and when obtained, would permit us to complete the construction of the Nichols Ranch ISR Unit and fund initial recovery operations and general administrative expenses. We will need to obtain additional financing to fund exploration and wellfield expansion expenditures.
On June 6, 2013, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2013, by and among us, Deans Knight Capital Management Ltd. (“Deans Knight”) and the investors in the Notes (the “Investors”), (the “Note Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Investors agreed to lend to the Company $6 million (the “Loan”) in exchange for senior notes of the Company equal to the outstanding principal balance of the loan (the “Notes”). Pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Notes will mature on the earlier of: (i) 30 days from the execution and delivery of documentation in connection with the Bond Financing, and (ii) December 31, 2013. The Notes bear interest from the date of issue at 6.0% per annum increasing to 10.0% per annum on August 16, 2013 if the Notes are not repaid prior to August 15, 2013. As additional consideration for the Loan, we agreed to issue to the Investors non-transferable common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) entitling the Investors to purchase from the Company 1,600,000 Warrants at an exercise price of US$1.60, of which all are currently exercisable. The Warrants expire 30 months from the date of issue, subject to acceleration. The Notes are secured by a mortgage and security interest in our primary uranium properties in the Powder River Basin, all our equipment and personal property and the Nichols Ranch Processing Facility.
On September 6, 2013 the Company issued and sold in a public offering, through a syndicate of underwriters, 8,550,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of US$1.17 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $10,000,000. Each Unit consisted of one share of the Company’s common stock and one-half of one common share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one additional share of the Company’s common stock for a period of 30 months following the closing of the offering at an exercise price of US$1.60, subject to adjustment and acceleration provisions. The warrants will not be listed on any exchange.
To date, our primary source of funds has been equity financings, and this trend is expected to continue together with recovery operations related financing, including the Bond Financing. With the anticipated completion of the Bond Financing, we believe we will have sufficient funds to continue the construction of Nichols Ranch Unit and to meet on-going operating expenses for the next twelve months as we scale our exploration and operations to the resources we have available. Our exploration plans will be continually evaluated and modified as exploration and environmental results become available. General and administrative expenses, planning and environmental expenses are incurred throughout the year; most of our exploration expenditures are incurred during the drilling period of March through November. Modifications to our plans will be based on many factors including results of exploration, assessment of data, weather conditions, exploration costs, the price of uranium, the issuance of permits and available capital. Further, the extent of exploration programs that we undertake will be dependent upon the amount of financing available to us.
Without the Bond Financing, we would require additional financing or will need to sell some of our assets to meet the anticipated expenditures for the Nichols Ranch ISR Unit to be ready for recovery operations, to pay for initial recovery operations and to meet our obligations under the Notes, which mature on December 31, 2013. We will also require additional financing to continue our other exploration activities. If we are unable to raise additional financing we may be unable to finish construction of the Nichols Ranch ISR Unit and may not be able to meet our obligations under the Notes. As the Notes are secured by a mortgage and security interest in our primary uranium properties in the Powder River Basin, our equipment and personal property and our Nichols Ranch Processing Facility, if we are unable to meet our obligation to repay the Notes by December 31, 2013 and are unable to otherwise negotiate an extension with the Investors, we may lose our interest in our primary uranium properties, our equipment and personal property and the Nichols Ranch Processing Facility.
We anticipate that any additional financing may be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock and the exercise of share purchase options and/or debt, depending on capital markets. We cannot provide assurance that additional financing will be available to us in amounts sufficient to meet our needs or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. In 2011, we filed a Form S-3 “shelf registration statement”, including equity and/or debt, in the amount of $100 million which was drawn upon during our September equity issue.
Our cash has not been devalued by the current stock market disruptions as it is held in low risk savings accounts in a Canadian Chartered Bank. Rates of return, however, are at historic lows. Management and the board of directors periodically meet to review the status of our investments and determine investment strategies, taking into account current market conditions and the short and long term capital needs of the Company.
Results of Operations
Three-month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to three-month period ended September 30, 2012
Revenue and Operating Expenses
We have not earned any revenues to date and we anticipate that we may generate modest revenues during the twelve-month period following the date of this quarterly report.
We incurred total operating expenses of approximately $10,401,785 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $5,744,850 for the corresponding period in 2012. The increase of operating expenses in the amount of $4,656,935 was primarily attributable to a increase in mineral property expenses of $3,811,150; mineral property expenses of $8,292,757 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 include processing facility and wellfield expenditures related to the Nichols Ranch ISR Uranium Project.
Our financing expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 was $729,450, as compared to $nil for the corresponding period in 2012. Our interest income of $4,419 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 was down from $10,474 in 2012 when cash balances were higher. The financing expense is related to our Notes payable, issued in June 2013.
Net loss for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $11,051,792, as compared to approximately $5,607,295 for the corresponding period in 2012. The increase in net loss was primarily attributable to the increase in operating expenses resulting from an increase in mineral property expenses.
Nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to nine-month period ended September 30, 2012
We incurred total operating expenses of approximately $17,557,291 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $22,186,463 for the corresponding period in 2012. The decrease of operating expenses in the amount of $4,629,172 was primarily attributable to a $1,057,295 increase in stock-based compensation included in general and administrative expenses and by a $5,354,910 decrease in mineral property expenses. Mineral property expenses included Nichols Ranch project construction costs totaling $11,797,330 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $16,886,003 for the corresponding period in 2012.
Our financing expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 was $966,556, as compared to $nil for the corresponding period in 2012. Our interest income of $11,033 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 was down from $39,170 in 2012 when cash balances were higher. The financing expense is related to our Notes payable, issued in June 2013.
Net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $18,326,203, as compared to approximately $21,834,440 for the corresponding period in 2012, a decrease of $3,508,237. The net loss was affected by the variation of operating and financing expenses described above.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders except as disclosed in the unaudited Financial Statements at September 30, 2013. The Company has had no material changes to its off-balance sheet arrangements as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2013 and the unaudited Financial Statements at September 30, 2013 as provided herein under the section heading “Financial Statements” above.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected.
We believe the following critical accounting policies require us to make significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Mineral Property Costs
The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and exploitation of mineral properties with the objective of extracting minerals from these properties.
Mineral property exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs are expensed as incurred until proven and probable reserves are established. Subsequent development costs are capitalized. Costs for acquired mineral properties and mineral rights are initially capitalized when incurred, then assessed quarterly for impairment under ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. The Company has not established proven or probable reserves on any of its mineral projects.
Asset Retirement Obligations
United States regulatory authorities require the Company to restore and reclaim its mine area after mining is completed. Pursuant to ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, the fair value of asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Upon initial recognition of a liability, the fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. Future reclamation and remediation costs are accrued based on management's best estimate at the end of each period of the costs expected to be incurred at each project.
Estimations and assumptions involved in using the expected present value technique to determine fair values are reviewed periodically.
Contractual Obligations
The Company has had no material changes to its contractual obligations as disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2013 and the unaudited Financial Statements at September 30, 2013 as provided herein under the section heading "Financial Statements" above.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our operations are not yet exposed to risks associated with commodity prices, interest rates and credit. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential loss that we may incur as a result of changes in the market value of uranium. Interest rate risk results from our debt and equity instruments that we issue to provide financing and liquidity for our business. Credit risk would arise from the extension of credit throughout all aspects of our business but is not yet significant. Industry-wide risks can, however, affect our general ability to finance exploration, and development of exploitable resources; such effects are not predictable or quantifiable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
At the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Glenn Catchpole, and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), Benjamin Leboe, of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a- 15(e) and Rule 15d- 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms; and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During our most recently completed fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
The term internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
(a) |
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the registrant; |
(b) |
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and |
(c) |
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We currently are not a party to any material legal proceedings and, to our knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2013.
We may be unable to timely pay our obligations under our outstanding notes, which may result in us losing some of our assets covered by the mortgage and security agreement related to the notes to the extent necessary to cover our obligations and may adversely affect our assets, results of operations and future prospects.
On June 6, 2013, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2013, by and among us, Deans Knight Capital Management Ltd. (Deans Knight) and the investors in the Notes (the Investors), (the Note Purchase Agreement). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Investors agreed to lend to the Company $6 million (the Loan) in exchange for senior notes of the Company equal to the outstanding principal balance of the loan (the Notes). Pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Notes will mature on the earlier of: (i) 30 days from the execution and delivery of documentation in connection with the Bond Financing, and (ii) December 31, 2013. The Notes bear interest from the date of issue at 6.0% per annum increasing to 10.0% per annum on August 16, 2013 when the Notes were not repaid. The Notes are secured by a mortgage and security interest in our primary uranium properties in the Powder River Basin, all our equipment and personal property and the Nichols Ranch Processing Facility.
If we are unable to timely satisfy our obligations under the Notes, including timely payment of the interest when due and payment of the principal amount at maturity and we are not able to successfully extend the maturity date or otherwise re-negotiate the terms of the Notes, Deans Knight, acting on behalf of the Investors, will have rights under the mortgage and security agreement to potentially seize or sell our uranium properties and interests, our equipment and personal property and the Nichols Ranch Processing Facility to satisfy our obligations under the Notes. Any failure to timely meet our obligations under the Notes may adversely affect our assets, results of operations and future prospects.
