Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
| NOTE 1: | NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
|---|
Uranium Energy Corp. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on* May 16, 2003.*Uranium Energy Corp. and its subsidiary companies and a controlled partnership (collectively, the “Company”) are engaged in uranium mining and related activities, including exploration, pre-extraction, extraction and processing of uranium and titanium concentrates, on projects located in the United States, Canada and the Republic of Paraguay.
As at* July 31, 2024*, the Company had working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $206,022 including cash and cash equivalents of $87,533 and uranium inventory holdings of $75,440. We believe our existing cash resources and, if necessary, cash generated from the sale of the Company’s liquid assets, will provide sufficient funds to carry out our planned operations including the acquisition announced subsequent to year-end (refer to Note24 Subsequent Events) and our inventory purchase commitments for12 months from the date that our audited consolidated financial statements are issued. Our continuation as a going concern for a period beyond those12 months will be dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate additional financing, as our operations are capital intensive and future capital expenditures are expected to be substantial.
Historically, we have been reliant primarily on equity financings from the sale of our common stock and on debt financing in order to fund our operations, and this reliance is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. Our continued operations, including the recoverability of the carrying values of our assets, are dependent ultimately on our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow from our operations.
| NOTE 2: | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|---|
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in thousands of United States dollars. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Exploration Stage
We have established the existence of mineralized materials for certain uranium projects, including our Palangana Mine, Christensen Ranch Mine (collectively, the “ISR Mines”) and our Roughrider and Christie Lake Projects. We havenot established proven or probable reserves, as defined by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) subpart1300 of Regulation S-K (“S-K1300”), through the completion of a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study for any of the uranium projects we operate, including our ISR Mines. Furthermore, we currently haveno plans to establish proven or probable reserves for any of our uranium projects for which we plan on utilizing in-situ recovery (“ISR”) mining, such as our ISR Mines. As a result, and despite the fact that we commenced extraction of mineralized materials at our ISR Mines, we remain an Exploration Stage company, as defined by the SEC, and will continue to remain as an Exploration Stage company until such time proven or probable reserves have been established.
Since we commenced extraction of mineralized materials at our ISR Mines without having established proven or probable reserves, any mineralized materials established or extracted from our ISR Mines shouldnot in any way be associated with having established or produced from proven or probable reserves.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, expenditures relating to the acquisition of mineral rights are initially capitalized as incurred while exploration and pre-extraction expenditures are expensed as incurred until such time as we exit the Exploration Stage by establishing proven or probable reserves. Expenditures relating to exploration activities, such as drill programs to establish mineralized materials, are expensed as incurred. Expenditures relating to pre-extraction activities, such as the construction of mine wellfields, ion exchange facilities and disposal wells, are expensed as incurred until such time proven or probable reserves are established for that project, after which expenditures relating to mine development activities for that particular project are capitalized as incurred.
Companies in the Production Stage, as defined by the SEC, having established proven and probable reserves and exited the Exploration Stage, typically capitalize expenditures relating to ongoing development activities, with corresponding depletion calculated over proven and probable reserves using the units-of-production method and allocated to future reporting periods to inventory and, as that inventory is sold, to cost of goods sold. We are in the Exploration Stage which has resulted in our Company reporting larger losses than if it had been in the Production Stage due to the expensing, instead of capitalization, of expenditures relating to ongoing mine development activities. Additionally, there would beno corresponding depletion allocated to future reporting periods of our Company since those costs would have been expensed previously, resulting in both lower inventory costs and cost of goods sold and results of operations with higher gross profits and lower losses than if we had been in the Production Stage. Any capitalized costs, such as expenditures relating to the acquisition of mineral rights, are depleted over the estimated extraction life using the straight-line method when the underlying property is converted to the Production Stage. As a result, our consolidated financial statements* may**not* be directly comparable to the financial statements of companies in the Production Stage.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition
The Company performs a screen test as required under U.S. GAAP to determine whether a transaction is an asset acquisition. If substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset (or a group of similar identifiable assets), the assets acquired wouldnot represent a business and we account for the acquisition as an asset acquisition. In addition, when an acquisition doesnot meet the definition of a business combination as the acquired entity doesnot have an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs, we also account for the acquisition as an asset acquisition. In an asset acquisition, any direct acquisition-related transaction costs are capitalized as part of the purchase consideration. Deferred taxes are recorded on temporary book/tax differences in an asset acquisition using the simultaneous equations method and adjusted the assigned value of the non-monetary assets acquired to include the deferred tax liability.
When an acquisition is accounted for as a business combination, we recognize and measure the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, while transaction costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred. An income, market or cost valuation method* maybe utilized to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, in a business combination. The income valuation method represents the present value of future cash flows over the life of the asset using: (i) discrete financial forecasts, which rely on management’s estimates of resource quantities and exploration potential, costs to produce and develop resources, revenues and operating expenses; (ii) appropriate discount rates; and (iii) expected future capital requirements (the “income valuation method”). The market valuation method uses prices paid for a similar asset by other purchasers in the market, normalized for any differences between the assets (the “market valuation method”). The cost valuation method is based on the replacement cost of a comparable asset at the time of the acquisition adjusted for depreciation and economic and functional obsolescence of the asset (the “cost valuation method”). If the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the acquisition occurs, an estimate will be recorded. Subsequent to the acquisition date, andnot* later thanone year from the acquisition date, we will record any material adjustments to the initial estimate based on new information obtained that would have existed as of the date of the acquisition. Any adjustment that arises from information obtained that didnot exist as of the date of the acquisition will be recorded in the period the adjustments arises.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Areas requiring significant judgements, estimates and assumptions include the valuation of acquired mineral rights and properties and equity-accounted investments, existence of impairment indicators for the Company’s long-lived assets, valuation and measurement of impairment losses on mineral rights and properties, valuation of recoverability of a credit loss, valuation of asset retirement obligations, and valuation of stock options, share purchase warrants and stock-based compensation. Other areas requiring estimates include allocations of expenditures to inventories, depletion and amortization of mineral rights and properties and depreciation of property, plant and equipment. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of our Company, including its subsidiaries, is the United States dollar, except for UEX Corporation, whose functional currency is the Canadian dollar. In accordance with ASC830: Foreign Currency Matters, the financial statements of our subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars using period-end exchange rates as to monetary assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Non-monetary assets are translated at their historical exchange rates. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange translations and foreign currency exchange gains and losses on transactions occurring in a currency other than our Company’s functional currency are included in the determination of net loss in the period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits and term deposits with an original maturity ofthree months or less.
Fair Value Measurement
Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level3 measurements).
Thethree levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| ● | Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities; |
| ● | Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and |
| ● | Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |
The financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are carried at cost, which approximate their fair values due to the immediate or short-term maturity. Investment in equity securities (level1) and derivative liabilities (level2) are carried at fair value.
F-10
Inventories
Inventories are comprised of supplies, work-in-progress and uranium concentrates (“U3O8”) from production and purchased uranium concentrates from the market. Expenditures related to the extraction and processing of uranium concentrates and depreciation and depletion charges of extraction and processing plant and equipment are capitalized as work-in-progress and uranium concentrates from production. Costs of purchased uranium concentrates include the purchase price and other direct costs incurred during the purchase process.
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value and are charged to cost of sales using the average costing method.
Equity Investments
Investments in an entity in which our ownership is greater than20% but less than50%, a50/50 joint venture which the Company doesnot have control, or an entity where other facts and circumstances indicate that we have the ability to exercise significant influence over its operating and financing policies, are accounted for using the equity method in accordance with ASC323: Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Equity-accounted investments are recorded initially at cost and adjusted subsequently to recognize our share of the earnings, losses or other changes in capital of the investee entity after the date of acquisition. We periodically evaluate whether declines in fair values of our equity investments below the carrying value are other-than-temporary and, if so, whether an impairment loss is required.
Additionally, we hold certain equity investments in entities that we donot have the ability to exercise significant influence. These equity investments represent our ownership interests in certain entities, and therefore meet the definition of an equity security under ASC321 Investments – Equity Securities and are measured at fair value at each period end, with unrealized holding gains or losses recorded to earnings.
Other Non-Current Assets
Other non-current assets include future expenditures that we have paid in advance but willnot receive benefits withinone year. Expenses are recognized over the period the expenditures are used or the benefits from the expenditures are received. Transaction costs incurred in connection with acquisitions of long-term assets are also included in other non-current assets, which will be capitalized as acquisition costs if the transaction succeeds or will be written off if the transaction doesnot complete. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets recognized in connection with recognition of lease liabilities are also included in Other Non-Current Assets.
Acquisition costs of mineral rights are initially capitalized as incurred while exploration and pre-extraction expenditures are expensed as incurred until such time proven or probable reserves, as defined by the SEC under S-K1300, are established for that project.
Where proven and probable reserves have been established, the project’s capitalized expenditures are depleted over proven and probable reserves using the units-of-production method upon commencement of production. Where proven and probable reserves havenot been established, the project’s capitalized expenditures are depleted over the estimated extraction life using the straight-line method upon commencement of extraction. We havenot established proven or probable reserves for any of our projects.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated to their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| ● | Plant and processing facilities: 10 to 21 years; |
| ● | Mining and logging equipment and vehicles: 5 to 10 years; |
| ● | Computer equipment: 3 years; |
| ● | Furniture and fixtures: 5 years; and |
| ● | Buildings: 20 years. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets including mineral rights and properties and property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group* maynot* be recoverable. Management applies judgment to assess whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group* maynot* be recoverable giving rise to the requirement to conduct an impairment test. Circumstances which could trigger an impairment test include, but arenot limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors including significant decreases in uranium prices and material adverse changes relating to the Company’s legal rights to its mineral rights and properties; significant increases in reclamation costs and accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely thannot be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparing the carrying value to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. When the carrying value of an asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recorded by writing down the carrying value of the related asset to its estimated fair value, which is determined using discounted future cash flows or other measures of fair value.
F-11
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities. We provide a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets unless it is more likely thannot that such assets will be realized. We review the valuation allowance requirements on an annual basis based on projected future operations.
Restoration and Remediation Costs (Asset Retirement Obligations)
Various federal and state mining laws and regulations require our Company to reclaim the surface areas and restore underground water quality to the pre-existing quality or class of use after the completion of mining. We recognize the present value of the future restoration and remediation costs as an asset retirement obligation in the period in which we incur an obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets.
Asset retirement obligations consist of estimated final well closure, plant and equipment decommissioning and removal and environmental remediation costs to be incurred by our Company in the future. The asset retirement obligation is estimated based on the current costs escalated at an inflation rate and discounted at a credit adjusted risk-free rate at inception. The asset retirement obligations are capitalized as part of the costs of the underlying assets and amortized over its remaining useful life. The asset retirement obligations are accreted to an undiscounted value until they are settled. The accretion expenses are charged to earnings and the actual retirement costs are recorded against the asset retirement obligations when incurred. Any difference between the recorded asset retirement obligations and the actual retirement costs incurred will be recorded as a gain or loss in the period of settlement.
Long-Term Debt
Long-Term Debt is carried at amortized cost. Debt issuance costs, debt premiums and discounts and annual fees are included in the long-term debt balance and amortized using the effective interest rate over the contractual terms of the Long-Term Debt.
Leases
We determine if a contractual arrangement represents or contains a lease at inception. Operating leases with lease terms greater than12 months are included in Other Non-Current Assets, Other Current Liabilities and Other Non-Current Liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Assets under finance leases are included in Property, Plant and Equipment and the related lease liabilities in Other Current Liabilities and Other Non-Current Liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Operating and finance lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. When the rate implicit to the lease cannot be readily determined, we utilize the incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest our Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and the amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.
The operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and included in general and administration expenses. Short-term leases, which have an initial term of12 months or less, arenot recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We have lease arrangements that include both lease and non-lease components. We account for each separate lease component and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component for all of our asset classes.
Revenue Recognition
Our revenues are primarily derived from the sale of U3O8 that we purchased under our Physical Uranium Program. The sales contracts specify the quantity to be delivered, the price, payment terms and the period of delivery. Ten days before the scheduled delivery date, the Company notifies the conversion facility with instructions for a title transfer to the customer. Revenue is recognized once a title transfer of the U3O8 is confirmed by the conversion facility.
Stock-Based Compensation
We measure stock-based awards at fair value on the date of the grant and expense the awards over the requisite service period of employees or consultants. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes Valuation Model. The fair value of restricted stock units (“RSU”s) is determined using the share price of the Company at the date of grant. The fair value of performance based restricted stock units (“PRSU”s) is determined using the Monte Carlo Simulation Model. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock option awards is recognized over the requisite service period on a graded vesting basis. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.
The Company’s estimates* maybe impacted by certain variables including, butnot* limited to, stock price volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors, additional stock option grants, the Company’s performance and related tax impacts.
F-12
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic earnings or loss per share includesno potential dilution and is computed by dividing the earnings or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings or loss of our Company. Dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of our diluted weighted average common shares outstanding if their effect would be anti-dilutive based on the treasury stock method or due to a net loss from continuing operations.

| NOTE 3: | ACQUISITION OF UEX CORPORATION |
|---|
During Fiscal2022, on* June 13, 2022,we entered into a definitive agreement with UEX Corporation (“UEX” and the “UEX Agreement”) pursuant to which we would acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of UEX in an all-share transaction (the “UEX Acquisition”). On June 21, 2022,in accordance with the UEX Agreement, we completed a private placement in UEX, whereby we acquired 11,627,907 UEX common shares at a price of CA$0.43 per UEX common share for total consideration of $3,867. In Fiscal2022,* we also acquired an additional 6,844,000 UEX common shares for total consideration of $1,914 by making purchases of UEX common shares through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange subject to and in accordance with applicable laws.
On* August 19, 2022,we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of UEX that we didnot* already own pursuant to the completion of the UEX Acquisition. Pursuant to the terms of the UEX Acquisition, UEX shareholders received 0.09 common shares of UEC for each UEX common share held. As a result, we issued 48,518,745 shares of our Company in exchange for the common shares of UEX that we didnot already own. The UEX shares we owned before closing the UEX Acquisition were returned to treasury.
In connection with the UEX Acquisition, we also issued 2,301,750 stock options (the “Replacement Options”) and 4,660,580 warrants (the “Replacement Warrants”) to replace the outstanding stock options and warrants of UEX that were outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the UEX Acquisition.
The estimated fair value of the Replacement Options in the amount of $4,026 as of* August 19, 2022was classified as equity and presented in additional paid in capital in accordance with ASC718* Compensation – Stock Compensation. The fair value of the Replacement Options was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions, which is level2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy:
| Exercise Price in U.S. dollars | 1.077 to3.9494 |
|---|---|
| Exercise Price in Canadian dollars | CA$1.39 to CA$5.12 |
| Expected Risk Free Interest Rate | 2.40% to 3.23% |
| Expected Volatility | 76.01% to 97.53% |
| Expected Life in Years | 0.12 to 1.0 |
| Expected Dividend Yield | 0.00% |
The estimated fair value of the Replacement Warrants in the amount of $8,903 as of* August 19, 2022was classified as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC815* Derivatives and Hedging, as the exercise prices of the Replacement Warrants are denominated in Canadian dollars, which differs from the Company’s functional currency. The change in fair value on the derivative liabilities is recorded as a change in fair value of derivative liability in our consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the Replacement Warrants on* August 19, 2022was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions, which is level2* of the fair value measurement hierarchy:
| Exercise Price in U.S. dollars | 1.111 to3.4242 |
|---|---|
| Exercise Price in Canadian dollars | CA$1.44 to CA$4.44 |
| Expected Risk Free Interest Rate | 3.18% to 3.23% |
| Expected Volatility | 90.98% to 101.52% |
| Expected Life in Years | 0.75 to 2.05 |
| Expected Dividend Yield | 0.00% |
The UEX Acquisition is accounted for as an acquisition of assets rather than a business as UEX didnot meet the definition of a business in accordance with ASC805 Business Combinations.

The Company recognized the assets and liabilities acquired in this acquisition by allocating the cost of the acquisition to the assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values. The fair value of the mineral rights and properties and equity-accounted investment was based on a value per pound of uranium which was determined using an in situ multiples analysis. Management used data from comparable public companies and precedent transactions in the in situ multiples analysis to estimate a value per pound of uranium and apply that to the property resource estimates, taking into account project-specific characteristics. The property resource estimates were based on information prepared by qualified persons (management’s specialists).

| NOTE 5: | ACQUISITION OF URANIUM ONE AMERICAS, INC. |
|---|
On* December 17, 2021,we completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of Uranium One Americas, Inc. (“U1A”), a Nevada corporation, from Uranium One Investments Inc., a subsidiary of Uranium One Inc., for total cash consideration of $128,495 (the“U1A* Acquisition”). Subsequent to the completion of theU1A Acquisition, we changed the name ofU1A to UEC Wyoming Corp. (“UEC Wyoming”) and, in conjunction therewith, we also changed the name ofU1A’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Uranium One USA Inc., a Delaware corporation, to UEC Uranium Corp.
The UEC Wyoming portfolio consists of the Irigaray Processing Facility, the Christensen Ranch Mine and the Ludeman, Antelope, Moore Ranch and Barge Projects located in Wyoming, which creates a Wyoming hub-and-spoke operation for the Company.
TheU1A Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination with UEC identified as the acquirer. The Company’s judgement that theU1A Acquisition is a business combination is based on the Company’s assessment that substantially all the fair value of the assets arenot concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price has been assigned to the assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. In connection with theU1A Acquisition, we incurred acquisition-related costs of $3,444, which were expensed in Fiscal2022.
As of* July 31, 2022,we had completed the analysis to assign fair values to all assets acquired and liabilities assumed and, therefore, the purchase price allocation for theU1A* Acquisition is final.
The table below sets forth the consideration paid and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for theU1A Acquisition:
| Consideration paid | |
|---|---|
| Cash | $125,593 |
| Working capital adjustment (1) | 2,902 |
| Total consideration paid | $128,495 |
| Assets acquired and liabilities assumed | |
| Cash & cash equivalents (1) | 1,183 |
| Prepaid expenses and deposits (1) | 1,550 |
| Other current assets (1) | 73 |
| Inventories (1) | 192 |
| Mineral rights and properties (2) | 110,693 |
| Property, plant and equipment (3) | 13,004 |
| Restricted cash | 13,755 |
| Debt receivable (4) | - |
| Other non-current assets (5) | 1,613 |
| Total assets | 142,063 |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (1) | 96 |
| Other liabilities (5) | 765 |
| Asset retirement obligations (6) | 12,707 |
| Total liabilities | 13,568 |
| Total net assets | $128,495 |
Notes:
| (1) | The working capital adjustment represents the working capital of U1A at the date of the U1A Acquisition, which was comprised of: (i) cash and cash equivalents of $1,183; (ii) prepaid expenses and deposits of $1,550; (iii) other current assets of $73; (iv) inventories of $192; and (v) accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $96. The fair value of these working capital items approximates their respective carrying values at the date of the acquisition. |
| (2) | The fair value of mineral rights and properties was determined using the discounted cash flow model (being the net present value of expected future cash flows). Expected future cash flows are based on estimates of future uranium prices, production based on current estimates of recoverable mineral resources, future operating costs and capital expenditures and the discount rate. The Company’s estimates of recoverable mineral resources are based on information prepared by qualified persons (management’s specialists). |
| (3) | The fair value of property, plant and equipment was determined using a replacement cost approach. |
| (4) | Other non-current assets included certain material and supply inventories classified as non-current and ROU assets associated with U1A’s operating leases. The fair value of long-term inventory was determined to approximate its carrying value. ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases are measured based on the present value of the future lease payments over the remaining lease terms at the acquisition date. |
| (5) | The fair value of asset retirement obligations was measured based on the expected costs and timing for final well closure, plant and equipment decommissioning and removal, and environmental remediation, which are discounted to present value using credit adjusted risk-free rates. |
Since it has been consolidated from* December 17, 2021,UEC Wyoming’s net income of $15,616, primarily resulted from the recovery of the Anfield Debt (as defined below), and operating costs of $4,206 were included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for Fiscal2022.*

| NOTE 6: | ANFIELD DEBT SETTLEMENT AND PROPERTY SWAP |
|---|
In connection with theU1A Acquisition, we acquired certain indebtedness totaling $18,342 due from Anfield Energy Inc. (“Anfield”), which was owed toU1A prior to the closing of theU1A Acquisition (the “Anfield Debt”). We assigned a value of$Nil to the Anfield Debt net of the expected credit loss on the preliminary purchase price allocation given that the probability of the Anfield Debt being collectable was remote at* December 17, 2021.*
On* April 19, 2022,we entered into a debt settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) and a property swap agreement (the “Swap Agreement”; and together with the Settlement Agreement, the “Anfield Agreements”) with Anfield to settle the Anfield Debt. Pursuant to the Anfield Agreements, the Anfield Debt was settled by the payment by Anfield to UEC of $9,171 in cash and the issuance by Anfield to UEC in units of Anfield (each, an “Anfield Unit”) with a deemed value of $9,171, with each such Anfield Unit being comprised ofone common share in the capital of Anfield (each, an “Anfield Common Share”) andone Anfield Common Share purchase warrant (each whole such warrant being an “Anfield Warrant”). Each Anfield Warrant entitles UEC to acquireone Anfield Common Share at a price of CA$0.18 until May 12, 2027 (*collectively, the “Anfield Debt Settlement”). Completion of the Anfield Agreements was contingent on Anfield raising additional financing.
On* June 7, 2022,*we closed the Anfield Debt Settlement whereby we received $9,171 in cash and the Anfield Units, being comprised of 96,272,918 Anfield Common Shares with a fair value of $7,702 and 96,272,918 Anfield Warrants with a fair value of $3,249.
Anfield Common Shares were measured using the Anfield share price of $0.08 per share at the date of issuance. Anfield Warrants were measured at $0.03 per share using the Black-Sholes Valuation Model at the date of issuance with the following assumptions.
| Expected Risk Free Interest Rate | 2.93% |
|---|---|
| Annual Volatility | 64.94% |
| Life in Years | 4.94 |
| Expected Annual Dividend Yield | 0% |
Our investment in Anfield Common Shares and Anfield Warrants are accounted for as Investment in Equity Securities with changes in fair value charged to fair value gain (loss) on equity securities on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Consequently, we reversed the entire expected credit loss on the debt receivable and recognized a recovery on debt receivable of $18,342 on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income in Fiscal2022. The fair value of the cash and the Anfield Common Shares and Anfield Warrants totaled $20,122, which exceeded the amounts of*$18,342* previously written off at the date ofU1A Acquisition by $1,780. In accordance with ASC326 Financial Instruments – Credit Loss, as amended by ASU2019-04, expected recoveries of amounts previously written off and expected to be written off shall be included in the valuation account and shallnot exceed the aggregate of amounts previously written off and expected to be written off by an entity. As a result, we recorded a gain of $1,780 on settlement of the Anfield Debt receivable on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income in Fiscal2022.
Concurrent with the Anfield Debt Settlement, we completed the Swap Agreement whereby we have received from Anfield25 ISR uranium projects with a fair value of $6,500 located in Wyoming in exchange for the Company’s Slick Rock Project and Long Park Project located in Colorado with a total carrying value of $92. The Property Swap was considered a nonmonetary transaction and, in accordance with ASC850 Nonmonetary Transactions, the accounting for nonmonetary transactions should be based on the fair values of the assets involved. The cost of a nonmonetary asset acquired in exchange for another nonmonetary asset is the fair value of the asset surrendered to obtain it, and a gain or loss is recognized on the exchange. The fair value of properties we surrendered was estimated to be $6,500 using the discounted cash flow model. As a result, we recorded a gain of $6,408 on disposition of assets on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income in Fiscal2022.
| NOTE 7: | INVENTORIES |

| NOTE 8: | MINERAL RIGHTS AND PROPERTIES |
|---|
As at* July 31, 2024*, we had mineral rights in the States of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Wyoming, in Canada and in the Republic of Paraguay. These mineral rights were acquired through staking and purchase, lease or option agreements and are subject to varying royalty interests, some of which are indexed to the sale price of uranium. As at* July 31, 2024*, annual maintenance payments of approximately $3.8 million were required to maintain these mineral rights.

During Fiscal2018 and Fiscal2019, we had communications and filings with the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (“MOPC”), the mining regulator in Paraguay, whereby the MOPC took the position that certain concessions forming part of the Company’s Yuty, Alto Parana and Colonel Oviedo Projects werenot eligible for extension as to exploration or continuation to exploitation in their current stages. While we remain fully committed to our development path forward in Paraguay, we have filed certain applications and appeals in Paraguay to reverse the MOPC’s position in order to protect our continuing rights in those concessions.
We havenot established proven or probable reserves, as defined by the SEC under the S-K1300, for any of our mineral projects. We have established the existence of mineralized materials for certain uranium projects, including our ISR Mines. Since we commenced uranium extraction at our ISR Mines without having established proven or probable reserves, there* maybe greater inherent uncertainty as to whether ornot* any mineralized material can be economically extracted as originally planned and anticipated.

Restricted cash includes cash and cash equivalents and money market funds as collateral for various bonds posted in favor of applicable state regulatory agencies in Arizona, Texas and Wyoming, and for estimated reclamation costs associated with our plants, processing facilities and various projects. Restricted cash will be released upon completion of reclamation of a mineral property or restructuring of a surety and collateral arrangement.
During Fiscal2022, we received $8,550 as a result of the partial release of surety bond collateral related to the Christensen Ranch Mine and Irigaray Processing Facility.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are included in the following accounts:

| Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $94,784 | $52,865 | $39,787 |
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. These assets include Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar denominated certificates of deposit, money market accounts and demand deposits. These instruments are maintained at financial institutions in Canada and the U.S. The maximum credit risk of these assets are the carrying amount less amount covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation or the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, should the financial institutions with which these amounts are invested be rendered insolvent. As of* July 31, 2024,approximately $70.7 million of our cash equivalents is held in a single financial institution atone* of the largest banks in Canada and subject to concentration risk.

As at* July 31, 2024*, we owned 17,978,364 shares of Uranium Royalty Corp. (“URC”), representing a 14.8% (* July 31, 2023*:14.9%) interest in URC. In addition,two of our officers are members of URC’s board of directors, andone is also an executive officer of URC. As a consequence, our ability to exercise significant influence over URC’s operating and financing policies continued to exist during Fiscal2024. Should URC’s outstanding options and warrants be fully exercised, UEC’s ownership interest would decrease from 14.8% to 13.2%.
URC is a public company listed on the TSX with the trading symbol URC and on NASDAQ with the trading symbol UROY. As at* July 31, 2024*, the fair value of our investment in URC was approximately $43.3 million (* July 31, 2023* - $34.2 million).
As at* July 31, 2024*, we owned 50% of the outstanding shares of JCU (Canada) Exploration Company Limited (“JCU”) acquired through the UEX Acquisition completed on* August 19, 2022.*JCU is a private Canadian company engaged in the exploration and development of uranium assets in Canada. The Company’s 50% interest in JCU is a joint venture, which is accounted for using the equity method.
We incurred $63 in exploration expenditures on behalf of JCU for the year ended* July 31, 2024* (* July 31, 2023*: $1,667). As at* July 31, 2024*, the amount receivable from JCU totaled $6 (* July 31, 2023*: $201).

Stock Options
During Fiscal2024, Fiscal2023 and Fiscal2022, we granted stock options under our stock incentive plans to certain of our directors, officers, employees and consultants to purchase an aggregate of 483,461,3,507,004 and 1,279,692 shares of the Company, respectively, which are subject to a 24-month vesting provision whereby, at the end of each of thefirst three andsix months after the grant date,12.5% of the total stock options become exercisable, and whereby at the end of each of 12, 18 and 24 months after the grant date,25% of the total stock options become exercisable. In addition, during Fiscal2023, we granted performance stock options (“PSO”s) under our current stock incentive plan to certain of our directors and officers to purchase an aggregate up to 150,367 shares of the Company. No PSOs were granted in Fiscal2024 and Fiscal2022. The PSOs granted in Fiscal2023 are subject to athree-year vesting provision wherebyone-third of the total PSOs become exercisable at the end of each of the first,second andthird year after the date of grant.
The fair value of these stock options was estimated at the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes Valuation Model, with the following weighted average assumptions:
| Year Ended July 31, | ||||||

Performance Based Restricted Stock Units
During Fiscal2024, Fiscal2023 and Fiscal2022, the Company granted 718,308,551,923 and 241,632 target PRSUs (the “Target PRSUs”) and allocated up to the same amount of respective PRSUs (the “Additional PRSUs”, and together with the Target PRSUs, the “PRSUs”), respectively, to the Company’s executive officers under our then stock incentive plans. These PRSUs vest based on certain performance goals measured by the Company’s share price relative to the GlobalX Uranium ETF share price over athree-year period (the “Performance Period”). The PRSUs vest based on relative Total Shareholder Return’s (“TSR”) (stock price appreciation) over the measurement period from the grant date of the PRSUs (the “Measurement Period”).
These PRSUs have a market condition considered in the determination of the fair value such that the ultimate number of PRSUs that vest will be determined by the Company’s share performance relative to the GlobalX Uranium ETF share price from the grant date over the Performance Period. Depending on the TSR performance, the percentage eligible to vest at the end of the respective Measurement Period would range from 0% to 200% of the Target PRSUs for that Measurement Period. The vested PRSUs will accrue annually and willnot settle until the end of the Performance Period. Each vested PRSU converts intoone common share of the Company at the end of the Performance Period withno cash settlement alternatives. The PRSUs carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. The Company accounts for the PRSUs as an equity-settled plan.
The fair values of the Target PRSUs granted were valued using the Monte Carlo Simulation Model at the date of grant with the following principal assumptions.
