Uranerz Energy Corporation
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2008
(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 acquired mineral property interests in Canada, Mongolia, and the United States.

   

The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No.7 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”. The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploitation of uranium and mineral resources.

   

The Company has not generated any revenue since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate future. As at June 30, 2008, the Company has working capital of $24,494,788. Although existing cash resources are currently expected to provide sufficient funds through the upcoming fiscal year, the capital expenditures required to achieve planned principal operations may be substantial. The continuation of the Company as a going concern through its production phase is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and to determine the existence, discovery and successful exploitation of economically recoverable reserves in its resource properties, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     
a)

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

     

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. On June 30, 2008, the Company holds a 40% interest in Rolling Hills Resources LLC (“Rolling Hills”), a Mongolian company, and an 81% interest in an unincorporated USA joint venture which are accounted for under the equity method. Rolling Hills, previously wholly-owned, was consolidated on December 31, 2007. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.

     
b)

Interim Financial Statements

     

The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 17, 2008 with the SEC.

     

The financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2008, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.

     
c)

Use of Estimates

     

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes 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 the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

     
d)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

     
e)

Marketable Securities

     

The Company defines marketable securities as income yielding securities that can be readily converted into cash. Examples of marketable securities include U.S. Treasury and agency obligations, commercial paper, corporate notes and bonds, time deposits, foreign notes and certificates of deposit. We account for our investment in debt and equity instruments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities and Financial Accounting Standards Board”, or FASB, Staff Position, or FSP, SFAS No. 115-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than- Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”. The Company follows the guidance provided by EITF No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, to assess whether our investments with unrealized loss positions are other than temporarily impaired. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in other income (expense). Management determines the appropriate classification of such securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. As at June 30, 2008, the Company’s marketable securities consisted of term deposits of cash for periods longer than three months and are classified as held-to-maturity.

     
e)

Property and Equipment

     

Property and equipment consists of computer hardware, office equipment and field equipment, is recorded at cost and is depreciated on a straight line basis over five years.

     
f)

Mineral Property Costs

     

The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized in accordance with EITF 04-2 “Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets” when management has determined that probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows have been identified and adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and budgeted exploration and development expenditures. Mineral property acquisition costs are expensed as incurred if the criteria for capitalization are not met. In the event that a mineral property is acquired through the issuance of the Company’s shares, the mineral property will be recorded at the fair value of the respective property or the fair value of common shares, whichever is more readily determinable.

     

When mineral properties are acquired under option agreements with future acquisition payments to be made at the sole discretion of the Company, those future payments, whether in cash or shares, are recorded only when the Company has made or is obliged to make the payment or issue the shares. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves and pre feasibility, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized.

     

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, mineral property acquisition expenditures totaling $24,617,796 (2007 - $3,216,904) and exploration costs of $785,338 (2007- $1,416,509) were expensed.

     
g)

Financial Instruments/Concentrations

     

The fair values of cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, amounts due to related parties and loan payable approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash in excess of federally insured amounts. At June 30, 2008, one Canadian institution holds 98% of the Company’s cash and 100% of the Company’s marketable securities. To date, the Company has not incurred a loss relating to this concentration of credit risk.

     
h)

Asset Retirement Obligation

     

Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis. Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards. Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred. As the Company had not incurred any asset retirement obligations, at June 30, 2008, the Company has not recognized any amount for asset retirement obligations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

     
i)

Long-lived Assets

     

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; 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 than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

     

Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

     
j)

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 SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” as of its inception. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

The Company's functional currency is the United States dollar and management has adopted SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets, liabilities and items recorded in income arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars and Mongolian Togrogs. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

     
l)

Stock-based Compensation

     

The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payments,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense, based on estimated fair values, for all share-based awards, made to employees and directors, including stock options.

     

SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the vesting period.

     

No tax benefits were attributed to stock-based compensation expense because a full valuation allowance was maintained for all net deferred tax assets.

     
m)

Comprehensive Loss

     

SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s comprehensive income (loss) consisted of unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation adjustments.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

     

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

     
 

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. SFAS 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk- management activities. SFAS 163 requires that disclosures about the risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period beginning after issuance. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

     
 

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

     
 

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

     
 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations”. This statement replaces SFAS 141 and defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date. This statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

     

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements Liabilities –an Amendment of ARB No. 51”. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the Non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

     








In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

     










In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

General

We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and, if warranted, development of uranium properties. We own interests in properties in Wyoming and Texas, USA; Saskatchewan, Canada; and Mongolia. We are principally focused on the exploration of our projects in the Powder River Basin area of Wyoming. As of June 30, 2008 we had entered into joint venture agreements for each of our Saskatchewan and Mongolia properties whereby the joint venture partner for each property can earn an ownership interest in the property in exchange for exploration and development expenditure commitments and/or cash and equity consideration. Our Saskatchewan joint venture was terminated in April 2008 and our Mongolian interests are being sold. We have also joint ventured our uranium projects in the Great Divide Basin area of Wyoming and our 81% owned properties in the Powder River Basin area of Wyoming. We anticipate that our joint venture partners will conduct exploration of our Wyoming Great Divide Basin properties. We plan to maintain, explore and, if warranted, develop our projects in the Powder River Basin area of Wyoming.

We hold interests in the following mineral properties:

Name of Property Location
State Mineral Leases, Federal Mining Claims and Private
(Fee) Mineral (joint venture agreement in place)
Powder River Basin, Wyoming, USA
State Mineral Leases, and Federal Mining Claims (option and joint
venture agreement in place)
Great Divide Basin, Wyoming, USA
Seven Mining Claims Saskatchewan, Canada
Four Exploration Licenses (joint venture agreement in place) Mongolia
Private (Fee) Mineral Leases Texas

Our plan of operations is to carry out exploration of our Wyoming Powder River Basin properties while our joint venture partner will be responsible for carrying out exploration of our Wyoming Great Divide Basin properties. Our Saskatchewan properties are under strategic review and our Mongolian property interests are being sold. The information regarding the location and access for our Saskatchewan, Mongolian and Wyoming properties, together with the history of operations, present condition and geology of each of our properties, is presented in Item 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 under the heading “Description of Properties”, previously filed with the SEC on March 17, 2008.

Powder River Basin Wyoming

In January 2008, we acquired an undivided 81% interest in approximately 82,200 acres of federal mining claims, state mineral leases and fee surface and mineral leases in the Powder River Basin (the “Arkose Mining Venture” or “Arkose Property”). The vendors will participate pro rata with future costs and we will manage the exploration and development of these properties within the Arkose Mining Venture.


In February 2008 we received an independent National Instrument 43-101 technical report for the Arkose Property (the “NI 43-101 Technical Report”) on the Arkose properties. The NI 43-101 Technical Report presents an estimate of the potential uranium exploration target on the Arkose Property pursuant to NI 43-101, Section 2.3(2), which states that, subject to the provisions thereof, an issuer may disclose the potential quantity and grade, expressed as ranges, of a potential mineral deposit that is to be the target of further exploration by the issuer. Based on a conceptual model developed by the authors of the NI 43-101 Technical Report, the potential exploration target of uranium mineralized alteration-reduction fronts is approximately 105 miles and, in aggregate, has the potential to contain from 41 million to 79 million pounds of U3O8 at a potential grade ranging from 0.059% to 0.114% . Alteration-reduction trends in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming are typically composed of multiple, stacked roll front deposits that often contain associated uranium mineralization amenable to in-situ recovery (ISR) mining techniques. Drilling commenced on these properties in March 2008.

From March 6, 2008 and to June 30, 2008, the Company, as operator of Arkose, drilled a total of 266 uranium trend exploration and delineation holes utilizing up to five drill rigs and two electric log probing units. This drilling¸ a total of approximately 186,925 feet with an average depth of 703 feet per hole, was conducted on four previously identified exploration targets in areas the Company has identified as East Buck, South Collins Draw, Sand Rock, and Little Butte. This initial phase of the 2008 Arkose drilling program was designed, based in part on available historical data, with a primary objective of identifying and delineating potentially significant trends of uranium roll front mineralization on the property, and to provide further data on these potential future development sites for purposes of reporting, and possible permitting and mining operations in favorably identified areas. To date, approximately 7.5 miles of uranium roll front trends have been investigated, with approximately 2.5 miles of these trends showing potentially favorable uranium mineralization. Drilling and geological assessments continue.

Mine planning for two Powder River Basin properties, Hank and Nichols Ranch, is underway. Because of the long lead times for environmental permitting of mining operations in North America, in 2007 we filed applications to the State of Wyoming and the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for permits to conduct ISR mining of uranium for the Nichols Ranch and Hank properties, located in the Pumpkin Buttes Mining District of the Powder River Basin in Johnson and Campbell counties of Wyoming. In April 2008 the NRC deemed our application acceptable to advance to the detailed technical and environmental stage of review. In August 2008, we received and filed an independent technical report providing a Preliminary Assessment of our Nichols Ranch Uranium In-Situ Recovery Project in the Powder River Basin, Wyoming, USA. The report concludes that “the project is technically and financially feasible. The results indicate that the Project is at the stage to advance it into engineering design and development”. This study supports our development and licensing strategy for our Nichols Ranch and Hank properties.

Approval of the environmental permit applications is expected to allow us to proceed with commercial advancement of the two properties leading to production of yellowcake using the ISR method of uranium mining. It is currently contemplated that the main production facility would be located at the Nichols Ranch property, and the Hank property would have a satellite facility providing uranium-loaded resin or enriched eluate to the main facility. These plans will be integrated with the Arkose Mining Venture properties as we go forward.

Great Divide Basin, Wyoming, USA

Our Joint Venture partner is continuing to study results from exploring these properties.

Saskatchewan, Canada

In April 2008, our Cochrane River Saskatchewan Joint Venture was terminated with the optionee forfeiting its right to earn an interest in the project. The properties are currently in good standing with two (2) claims due to expire on January 30, 2010 and the remaining five (5) claims expiring on January 30, 2011. We will continue to evaluate options for these properties, which include possible arrangements with other joint venture partners, further exploration by ourselves, or disposition.

Mongolia

In March 2008, we reviewed our Joint Venture in Mongolia and amended our Agreement to remove our back-in provision and give the Optionee the right to acquire an undivided 60% interest in the projects on completion of their exploration expenditure program. This arrangement provides clarity of ownership as strategic options are considered.

In June 2008, our Joint Venture Partner earned and exercised its right to acquire 60% of our Mongolian mineral interests, now consisting of four licenses.

In June 2008, we signed an agreement to sell all our remaining mineral interests in Mongolia. The Agreement to Sell is subject to due diligence scheduled to be completed in August 2008.


Texas

We plan to conduct a modest exploration program on these properties in the second half of 2008.

Financial Position

The Company’s overall financial position is disclosed in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on Edgar on March 17, 2008 and the unaudited Financial Statements at June 30, 2008 provided herein.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are carrying out an exploration, environmental and design program amounting to approximately $11,500,000 in 2008 as presented in Item 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 under the heading “Description of Properties”, previously filed with the SEC on March 17, 2008. Mineral property acquisitions will be additional expenditures and dependent upon opportunities that may arise. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, mineral property acquisition expenditures of $24,617,796 were incurred for cash of $5,527,796 and shares with a fair value of $19,090,000.

At June 30, 2008, we had cash of $10,524,779 and working capital of $24,494,788, as compared to the ending cash balance of $11,343,737 and working capital of $11,114,149 as at December 31, 2007.

Net cash used in operating activities was $7,604,033 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $5,532,730 for the corresponding period in 2007. The increase in net cash used in operations of $2,071,303 results primarily from an increase in mineral property expenditures and joint venture cash expenses of $1,679,721, an increase of general and administrative cash expenses of $640,125, a decrease in interest earned of $167,139 plus changes in operating assets and liabilities

Net cash used in investing activities was $15,980,285 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $88,802 for the corresponding period in 2007. Cash invested in securities with a term exceeding three months represented $14,074,050 in this period and $1,533,267 was advanced to the Arkose Mining Venture.

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $22,765,841 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily from a private placement of common shares, compared to $8,485,578 for the corresponding period in 2007 when warrants were exercised from previous private placements.

During the twelve month period following the date of this quarterly report, we anticipate that we will not generate any revenue. We anticipate that any additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock and the exercise of share purchase warrants. Our exploration plans will be continually evaluated and modified as exploration and environmental results become available. G &A expenses, planning and environmental expenses are incurred throughout the year; most of our exploration expenditures are incurred during the nine month period 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 and available capital. Further, the extent of exploration programs that we undertake will be dependent upon the amount of financing available to us.

We have sufficient cash to continue our exploration and planning and to meet on-going operating expenses for the next twelve months. To date, our primary source of funds has been equity investments, and this trend is expected to continue.

Results of Operations

Three-month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to three-month period ended June 30, 2007

Revenue and Operating Expenses

We have not earned any revenues to date and we anticipate that we will not generate any revenues during the twelve month period following the date of this quarterly report.

We incurred total operating expenses of approximately $2,350,135 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $1,769,623 for the corresponding period in 2007. The increase of operating expenses in the amount of $580,512 (or 32%) was primarily contributed by a $366,198 increase in joint venture and mineral property expenditures.


We had no significant financing expense for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. We earned $144,819 of interest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $197,541 for the corresponding period in 2007. This income resulted from short term investments. A gain on sale of approximately $753,557 for 60% of former subsidiary, Rolling Hills LLP, was realized during the period.

Net loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $1,451,759, as compared to approximately $1,572,082 for the corresponding period in 2007, a decrease of $120,323.

Six-month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to six-month period ended June 30, 2007

We have not earned any revenues to date and we anticipate that we will not generate any revenues during the twelve month period following the date of this quarterly report.

We incurred total operating expenses of approximately $30,731,634 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $10,454,780 for the corresponding period in 2007. The increase of operating expenses in the amount of $20,276,854 (or 194%) was primarily contributed by a $21,659,851 increase in joint venture and mineral property expenditures and a $1,417,911 decrease in general and administrative expenses. Our $24,617,796 acquisition of NAMMCO properties is included in the mineral property expenditures for six-month period ended June 30, 2008.

We had no significant financing expense for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. We earned $207,115 of interest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $374,254 for the corresponding period in 2007. This income resulted from short term investments. A gain on sale of approximately $753,557 for 60% of former subsidiary, Rolling Hills LLP, was realized during the period.

Net loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $29,770,962, as compared to approximately $10,080,526 for the corresponding period in 2007, a increase of $19,690,436. The net loss was abnormally affected by the acquisition of properties in the period and results of operations can be more expected to reflect historical growth for the remainder of 2008, unless other significant acquisitions are identified and concluded.

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 is material to stockholders. The Company has had no material changes to its off-balance sheet arrangements as disclosed in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on Edgar on March 17, 2008 and the Financial Statements at June 30, 2008 provided herein.

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 development of mineral properties. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized in accordance with EITF 04-2 “Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets” when management has determined that probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows have been identified and adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and budgeted exploration and development expenditures. Mineral property acquisition costs are expensed as incurred if the criteria for capitalization are not met. In the event that a mineral property is acquired through the issuance of the Company’s shares, the mineral property will be recorded at the fair value of the respective property or the fair value of common shares, whichever is more readily determinable.

When mineral properties are acquired under option agreements with future acquisition payments to be made at the sole discretion of the Company, those future payments, whether in cash or shares, are recorded only when the Company has made or is obliged to make the payment or issue the shares. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves and pre feasibility, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized. During the six months ended June 301, 2008, mineral property expenditures totaling $25,403,134 (2007 - $4,633,413) were expensed.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payments,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense, based on estimated fair values, for all share-based awards, made to employees and directors, including stock options. SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the vesting period.

No tax benefits were attributed to stock-based compensation expense because a full valuation allowance was maintained for all net deferred tax assets.

Contractual Obligations

The Company has had no material changes to its contractual obligations as disclosed in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on Edgar on March 17, 2008 and the Financial Statements at June 30, 2008 provided herein.

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 fair 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 Control 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 adequately designed and 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 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During our most recently completed fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008, 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)
