Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)
1.   Accounting Policies
 
    These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and follow the same accounting principles and methods of application as the most recent annual consolidated financial statements except for the recent accounting standards adopted described below. Since the interim financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP, they should be read in conjunction with Cameco’s annual consolidated financial statements included in the 2008 annual financial review. Certain comparative figures for the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

      Effective January 1, 2009, Cameco adopted the new Canadian standard, Handbook Section 3064, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, which replaced Handbook Section 3062, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and Section 3450, Research and Development Costs. The standard introduces guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets, including internally generated intangible assets. The standard also harmonizes Canadian standards with IFRS and applies to annual and interim financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. There was no material impact to previously reported financial statements as a result of the implementation of the new standard.
2.   Future Changes in Accounting Policy
  (a)   International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
 
      The Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) has announced that Canadian publicly accountable enterprises will be required to adopt IFRS effective January 1, 2011. Although IFRS employs a conceptual framework that is similar to Canadian GAAP, there are significant differences in recognition, measurement and disclosure. Cameco has undertaken a project to assess the potential impacts of the transition to IFRS and has developed a detailed project plan to ensure compliance with the new standards.
 
      Cameco has completed the initial phase of the implementation project including the detailed diagnostic analysis which included a high-level impact assessment to identify key areas that may be impacted by the adoption of IFRS. This analysis resulted in the prioritization of areas to be evaluated in the next phase of the project plan, component evaluation. This phase, which is currently in progress, includes the analysis of accounting policy alternatives available under IFRS as well as the determination of changes required to existing information systems and business processes. As of June 30, 2009, the systems changes necessary to support the IFRS conversion had been fully tested and implemented. Cameco continues to assess the impact of the conversion on internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures and will continue to invest in training and resources throughout the transition period to facilitate a timely conversion. Cameco is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of IFRS on our results of operations, financial position and financial statement disclosures.
 
  (b)   Financial Instruments — Disclosures
 
      In June 2009, the CICA issued amendments to Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments – Disclosures. The amendments provide for enhanced disclosures on liquidity risk and require new disclosures on fair value measurements of financial instruments. These requirements harmonize Canadian standards with IFRS and apply to annual financial statements for fiscal years ending after September 30, 2009. Cameco is assessing the impact the new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

    In 2008, as part of the ongoing annual audits of Cameco’s Canadian tax returns, Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) disputed the transfer pricing methodology used by Cameco and its wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary, Cameco Europe Ltd. (CEL), in respect of sale and purchase agreements for uranium products. In December 2008, CRA issued a notice of reassessment, which increased Cameco’s 2003 Canadian taxable income by approximately $43,000,000 (which does not result in any cash taxes becoming payable for that year). Cameco believes it is likely that CRA will reassess Cameco’s tax returns for the years 2004 through 2008 on a similar basis.
 
    Late in 2008, CRA’s Transfer Pricing Review Committee decided not to impose a penalty for 2003 based on the documentation that had been submitted by Cameco.

    Having regard to advice from its external advisors, Cameco’s opinion is that CRA’s position is incorrect, and Cameco intends to contest CRA’s position. However, to reflect the uncertainties of CRA’s appeals process and litigation, Cameco has decided to increase its reserve for uncertain tax positions and recognize an income tax expense of $15,000,000 in 2008 for the years 2003 through 2008. No provisions for penalties or interest have been recorded. We do not expect any cash taxes to be payable due to availability of elective deductions and tax loss carryforwards. While the resolution of this matter may result in liabilities that are higher or lower than the reserve, management believes that the ultimate resolution will not be material to Cameco’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity over the period. However, an unfavourable outcome for the years 2003 to 2008 could be material to Cameco’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows in the year(s) of resolution.
 
    Further to Cameco’s decision to contest CRA’s 2003 reassessment, a Notice of Appeal was filed with the Tax Court of Canada on July 22, 2009.

10.   Stock Option Plan
 
    Cameco has established a stock option plan under which options to purchase common shares may be granted to officers and other employees of Cameco. The options vest over three years and expire eight years from the date granted. Options granted prior to 1999 expire 10 years from the date of the grant of the option.
 
    The aggregate number of common shares that may be issued pursuant to the Cameco stock option plan shall not exceed 43,017,198, of which 24,307,079 shares have been issued.
 
    On July 27, 2007, Cameco’s board of directors approved an amendment to the company’s stock option program introducing a cash settlement feature for the exercise of employee stock options. The cash settlement feature allowed option holders to elect to receive an amount in cash equal to the intrinsic value, being the excess market price of the common share over the exercise price of the option, instead of exercising the option and acquiring common shares. All outstanding stock options were subsequently classified as liabilities and carried at their intrinsic value. The intrinsic value of the liability was marked to market each period and amortized to expense over the shorter of the period to eligible retirement or the vesting period. Effective November 10, 2008, the stock option plan was amended to eliminate the alternative to settle in cash. As a result of the amendment all outstanding options are classified as equity and the fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
 
    For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, Cameco has recorded compensation expense of $1,024,000 with an offsetting credit to contributed surplus to reflect the estimated fair value of stock options granted to employees. For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, a net expense of $39,713,000 was recorded based on the intrinsic value of stock options granted to employees. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Cameco has recorded compensation expense of $4,143,000 with an offsetting credit to reflect the estimated fair value of stock options granted to employees. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, a net expense of $20,115,000 was recorded based on the intrinsic value of stock options granted to employees.

12.   Restructuring of the Gold Business
 
    During the first quarter of 2007, the Parliament of the Kyrgyz Republic accepted in the first reading and returned to committee for further deliberation draft legislation that, among other things, challenges the legal validity of Kumtor Gold Company’s (Kumtor) agreements with the Kyrgyz Republic, proposes recovery of additional taxes on amounts relating to past activities, and provides for the transfer of gold deposits (including Kumtor) to a state-owned entity.
 
    On April 24, 2009, Cameco, Centerra, the Kyrgyz Government and other parties signed an agreement to resolve all the issues related to the Kumtor mine. On April 30, 2009, the Kyrgyz parliament ratified the agreement and enacted legislation authorizing implementation of the agreement. On June 11, 2009, closing occurred and Centerra issued 18,232,615 treasury shares to Kyrgyzaltyn JSC and Cameco transferred 25,300,000 shares (the Cameco Contributed Shares) of its 113,918,000 Centerra common shares to a custodian, to be held in escrow, for ultimate release to Kyrgyzaltyn JSC. The timing and number of the Cameco Contributed Shares that will be released to Kyrgyzaltyn JSC will be determined as follows:
  (a)   If Cameco reduces its holdings of Centerra common shares to 10.8 million or less, then the Cameco Contributed Shares will be released to Kyrgyzaltyn JSC but the number of Cameco Contributed Shares released will be subject to adjustment depending on the per share sale proceeds received by Cameco. If Cameco receives per share sale proceeds of the agreed minimum threshold or less, then 14,072,623 of the Cameco Contributed Shares will be released to Kyrgyzaltyn JSC. If Cameco receives per share sale proceeds of the agreed maximum threshold or more, then all the Cameco Contributed Shares will be released to Kyrgyzaltyn JSC. If Cameco receives per share sale proceeds between the agreed minimum and maximum thresholds, then the number of the Cameco Contributed Shares to be released to Kyrgyzaltyn JSC will be an interpolated amount.
 
  (b)   If, however, prior to Cameco reducing its holding of Centerra common shares as described above, the weighted average trading price of Centerra’s common shares exceeds the agreed maximum threshold for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, all the Cameco Contributed Shares will be released to Kyrgyzaltyn JSC after the expiration of a further 180 day period.

    Cameco retains voting rights over the Cameco Contributed Shares while they are held by the custodian, and the Kyrgyz government will vote 52% of the treasury shares issued on closing as directed by Cameco until all or some of the Cameco Contributed Shares are released as set forth above. Accordingly, Cameco retains voting control over Centerra until all or some of the Cameco Contributed Shares are released.
 
    The estimate of the loss related to this agreement is to be based on Centerra’s share price at the end of each reporting period. At June 30, 2009, the pre-tax loss was estimated to be $111,000,000 and a recovery of $19,000,000 was recorded during 2009 to reduce the amount provided in prior years.
 
    As the number of the Cameco Contributed Shares ultimately transferred to Kyrgyzaltyn JSC is contingent as described above, the actual loss may be materially different than our current estimate.
 
13.   Commitments and Contingencies
 
    The following represent the material legal claims against the company and its subsidiaries.
  (a)   On February 12, 2004, Cameco, Cameco Bruce Holdings II Inc., BPC Generation Infrastructure Trust and TransCanada Pipelines Limited (collectively, the “Consortium”) sent a notice of claim to British Energy Limited and British Energy International Holdings Limited (collectively, BE) requesting, amongst other things, indemnification for breach of a representation and warranty contained in the February 14, 2003, Amended and Restated Master Purchase Agreement. The alleged breach is that the Unit 8 steam generators were not “in good condition, repair and proper working order, having regard to their use and age.” This defect was discovered during a planned outage conducted just after closing. As a result of this defect, the planned outage had to be significantly extended. The Consortium had claimed damages in the amount of $64,558,200 being 79.8% of the $80,900,000 of damages actually incurred, plus an unspecified amount to take into account the reduced operating life of the steam generators.
 
      By agreement of the parties, an arbitrator has been appointed to arbitrate the claims and a schedule has been set for the next steps in the proceeding. The Consortium served its claim on October 21, 2008. In addition to the $64,558,200 in damages sought in the notice of claim, the claim sought an additional $189,130,000 for the likely reduction in the useful lives of the steam generators, including lost revenues resulting from future outages to effect repairs or replacement. BE served its answer and counter-statement on December 22, 2008 and the Consortium served its reply and answer to counter-statement on January 22, 2009. On April 27, 2009 the Consortium served a further amended claim increasing the amount claimed for the likely reduction in the useful lives of the steam generators from $189,130,000 to $206,900,000 and also claiming $4,900,000 for the costs incurred for additional inspection, monitoring and maintenance costs. On August 7, 2009 the Consortium served a further amended claim discontinuing the claim for damages for the shortened useful operating lives of the Unit 8 steam generators and increased the claim for future monitoring and maintenance costs. In summary, the Consortium is claiming $64,558,200 for damages actually incurred, $4,900,000 for the costs incurred for additional inspection, monitoring and maintenance costs and $31,920,000 for additional future monitoring and maintenance costs.
 
      The parties have completed oral discoveries and are currently in the process of answering undertakings given during discoveries. The hearing has been scheduled from September 14 to October 9, 2009.
 
      In anticipation of this claim, BE issued on February 10, 2006, and then served on Ontario Power Generation Inc. (OPG) and Bruce Power LP a Statement of Claim. This Statement of Claim seeks damages for any amounts that BE is found liable to pay to the Consortium in connection with the Unit 8 steam generator arbitration described above, damages in the amount of $500,000,000, costs and pre and post judgment interest amongst other things. This action is in abeyance pending further developments on the Unit 8 steam generator arbitration.

  (b)   Cameco, TransCanada and BPC have assumed the obligations to provide financial guarantees on behalf of BPLP. Cameco has provided the following financial assurances, with varying terms that range from 2004 to 2018:
  (i)   Licensing assurances to Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission of up to $133,300,000. At June 30, 2009, Cameco’s actual exposure under these assurances was $23,700,000.
 
  (ii)   Guarantees to customers under power sale agreements of up to $38,300,000. Cameco did not have any actual exposure under these agreements at June 30, 2009.
 
  (iii)   Termination payments to OPG pursuant to the lease agreement of $58,300,000.
 
      The fair value of these guarantees is nominal.
  (c)   Under a supply contract with the Ontario Power Authority (OPA), BPLP is entitled to receive payments from the OPA during periods when the market price for electricity in Ontario is lower than the floor price defined under the agreement during a calendar year. On July 6, 2009, BPLP and the OPA amended the supply contract such that beginning in 2009, the annual payments received will not be subject to repayment in future years. Previously, the payments received under the agreement were subject to repayment during the entire term of the contract, dependent on the spot price in future periods. The agreement remains in effect until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or one year after the shutdown of the BPLP units. During 2009, BPLP received $184,000,000 in payments under this agreement and currently expects to repay $12,000,000. The remaining $172,000,000 was recognized as revenue with Cameco’s share being $54,000,000.
 
  (d)   On June 12, 2009, Centerra received a notice from the Mineral Resources Authority of Mongolia suspending the Boroo mine’s main operating licenses for a period up to three months. During June and July, Centerra worked with the relevant regulatory authorities in Mongolia to understand and resolve the concerns raised. On July 27, 2009, the Mongolian government lifted the suspension and production has resumed. Centerra is continuing discussions with the regulatory authorities regarding their concerns.
