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. Since the interim financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with Cameco’s annual consolidated financial statements included in the 2009 annual financial review. Certain comparative figures for the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
2.   Future Changes in Accounting Policy

In February 2008, the Accounting Standards Board announced that Canadian publicly accountable enterprises will be required to adopt IFRS effective January 1, 2011. As a result, Cameco will publish its first consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with IFRS, for the quarter ending March 31, 2011. We will also provide comparative data on an IFRS basis, including an opening balance sheet as at January 1, 2010.

    At June 30, 2010, current taxes payable in the amount of $17,321,000 (December 31, 2009 - $31,140,000), have been included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
 
    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increased Cameco’s 2003 income for Canadian income tax purposes by approximately $43,000,000 (this reassessment was superseded by a reassessment issued in February 2009). In December 2009, CRA issued a notice of reassessment for the 2004 taxation year, which increased Cameco’s 2004 income by approximately $108,000,000. Another reassessment for 2004 was issued by CRA on May 13, 2010 to similar effect. No reassessment received to date has resulted in more than a nominal amount of cash taxes becoming payable due to availability of elective deductions and tax loss carrybacks. Cameco believes it is likely that CRA will reassess Cameco’s tax returns for the years 2005 through 2009 on a similar basis.
 
    Late in 2009, CRA’s Transfer Pricing Review Committee decided not to impose a penalty for 2004 based on the documentation that had been submitted by Cameco. This followed the same decision by the Transfer Pricing Review Committee late in 2008 for the 2003 notice of reassessment.
 
    Having regard to advice from its external advisors, Cameco’s opinion is that CRA’s position is incorrect, and Cameco is contesting CRA’s position. However, to reflect the uncertainties of CRA’s appeals process and litigation, Cameco decided to increase its reserve for uncertain tax positions and recognize an income tax expense of $9,000,000 in 2009, bringing the cumulative tax provision related to this matter for the years 2003 through 2009 to $24,000,000. No provisions for penalties or interest have been recorded. We do not expect more than a nominal amount of cash taxes to be payable due to availability of elective deductions and tax loss carryovers. 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 2009 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 reassessments, a Notice of Appeal for the 2003 taxation year was filed with the Tax Court of Canada on July 22, 2009 and the litigation process is proceeding. In connection with CRA’s 2004 reassessment, Cameco is contesting the reassessment and pursuing its appeal rights under the Income Tax Act.

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 has 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, and has amended it as required, most recently on August 7, 2009. BE served its answer and counter-statement on December 22, 2008, most recently amended on July 8, 2009, and the Consortium served its reply and answer to counter-statement on January 22, 2009, most recently amended on August 7, 2009.
 
      The Unit 8 steam generators require on-going monitoring and maintenance as a result of the defect. In addition to the $64,558,200 in damages sought in the notice of claim, the claim seeks an additional $4,900,000 spent on inspection, monitoring and maintenance of Unit 8, and $31,900,000 in costs for future monitoring and maintenance, as well as repair costs and lost revenue due to anticipated unplanned outages as a consequence of the defect in Unit 8. The initial claim had also sought damages for the early replacement of the Unit 8 steam generators due to the defect shortening their useful operating lives. However, recent inspection data and analysis of the condition of the Unit 8 steam generators now indicates that they will continue to function until the end of the Consortium’s lease of the Bruce Power facility in 2018, as was expected at the time the MPA was entered into. The claim for early replacement was thus abandoned via an amendment to the claim on August 7, 2009. The parties have completed the discovery process and the arbitration hearing is currently underway.

      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. Further proceedings in this action are on hold pending completion of the arbitration hearing.
 
  (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)   Guarantees to customers under power sale agreements of up to $35,300,000. At June 30, 2010, Cameco’s actual exposure under these guarantees was $28,300,000.
 
  (ii)   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. BPLP’s entitlement to receive these payments remains in effect until December 31, 2019 but the generation that is subject to these payments starts to decrease in 2016, reflecting the original estimated lives for the Bruce B units. During 2010, BPLP recorded $183,000,000 under this agreement which was recognized as revenue with Cameco’s share being $58,000,000.
14.   Related Party Transactions
 
    Cameco purchases a significant amount of goods and services for its Saskatchewan mining operations from northern Saskatchewan suppliers to support economic development in the region. One such supplier is Points Athabasca Contracting Ltd. and the president of the company became a member of the board of directors of Cameco during 2009. During the first six months of 2010, Cameco paid Points Athabasca Contracting Ltd. $9,700,000 (2009 — $20, 300,000) for construction and contracting services. The transactions were conducted in the normal course of business and were accounted for at the exchange amount. Accounts payable include a balance of $2,060,000 (2009 — $90,000) resulting from these transactions.
