Cameco Corporation
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 2007 annual financial review. Certain comparative figures for the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
  (a)   Capital Disclosures
 
      On January 1, 2008, Cameco adopted the standard issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) relating to capital disclosures. The standard requires disclosure of Cameco’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital, quantitative data about what Cameco regards as capital and whether Cameco has complied with any capital requirements and, if it has not complied, the consequences of such non-compliance.
 
      Cameco’s capital structure reflects our vision and the environment in which we operate. We seek growth through development and expansion of existing assets and by acquisition. Our capital resources are managed to support achievement of our goals. The overall objectives for managing capital remained unchanged in 2008 from the prior comparative period.
 
      Cameco’s management considers its capital structure to consist of long-term debt, short-term debt (net of cash and cash equivalents), minority interest and shareholders’ equity.
 
      The capital structure at September 30, 2008 was as follows:
         
 
(thousands)   Sept 30/08  
 
Long-term debt
  $ 732,280  
Short-term debt
    528,793  
Cash and cash equivalents

      Cameco is bound by certain covenants in its general credit facilities. These covenants place restrictions on total debt, including guarantees, and set minimum levels for net worth. As of September 30, 2008, Cameco met these requirements and does not expect its activities in 2008 to be constrained by them.

  (b)   Financial Instruments — Disclosure and Presentation
 
      On January 1, 2008, Cameco adopted CICA Handbook Sections 3862, Financial Instruments — Disclosures and 3863 Financial Instruments — Presentation. These sections replaced Handbook Section 3861 — Financial Instruments — Disclosures and Presentation and they enhance the users’ ability to evaluate the significance of financial instruments to an entity, related exposures and the management of these risks. There was no financial impact to previously reported financial statements as a result of the implementation of these new standards.
 
      Risk Management Overview

Cameco is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. Management and the Board of Directors, both separately and together, discuss the principal risks of our businesses. The Board sets policies for the implementation of systems to manage, monitor and mitigate identifiable risks. Cameco’s risk management objective is to protect and minimize volatility in cash flow and distributions therefrom.
 
      The types of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed are as follows:
 
      Market Risk

Cameco engages in various business activities which expose the company to market risk from changes in commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. As part of its overall risk management strategy, Cameco uses derivatives to manage exposures to market risk that result from these activities.
 
      Derivative instruments may include financial and physical forward contracts. Such contracts may be used to establish a fixed price for a commodity, an interest-bearing obligation or a cash flow denominated in a foreign currency. Market risks are monitored regularly against defined risk limits and tolerances.
 
      Cameco’s actual exposure to these market risks is constantly changing as the company’s portfolios of foreign currency and commodity contracts change. Changes in fair value or cash flows based on market variable fluctuations cannot be extrapolated as the relationship between the change in the market variable and the change in fair value or cash flow may not be linear.
  (i)   Commodity Price Risk
 
      As a significant producer and supplier of uranium, nuclear fuel processing, gold and electricity, Cameco bears significant exposure to changes in prices for these products. A substantial change in prices will affect the company’s net earnings and operating cash flows. Prices for Cameco’s products are volatile and are influenced by numerous factors beyond the company’s control, such as supply and demand fundamentals, geopolitical events and, in the case of electricity prices, weather.
 
      To mitigate the risks associated with the fluctuations in the market price for uranium products, Cameco seeks to maintain a portfolio of uranium product sales contracts with a variety of delivery dates and pricing mechanisms that provide a degree of protection from pricing volatility. To mitigate risks associated with fluctuations in the market price for electricity, BPLP enters into various energy and sales related contracts that qualify as cash flow hedges.
 
      Cameco’s sales contracting strategy focuses on reducing the volatility in our future earnings and cash flow, while providing both protection against decreases in market price and retention of exposure to future market price increases. At September 30, 2008, commodity price risk had no significant impact on the financial statements.
 
  (ii)   Foreign Exchange Risk
 
      The relationship between the Canadian and US dollars affects financial results of the uranium business as well as the fuel services business.
 
      Sales of uranium and fuel services are routinely denominated in US dollars while production costs are largely denominated in Canadian dollars. Cameco attempts to provide some protection against exchange rate fluctuations by planned hedging activity designed to smooth volatility. Cameco also has a natural hedge against US currency fluctuations because a portion of its annual cash outlays, including purchases of uranium and fuel services, is denominated in US dollars. At September 30, 2008, the effect of a $0.01 increase in the US to Canadian dollar exchange rate on our portfolio of currency hedges and other USD denominated exposures would be a decrease of $6,700,000 in net earnings.

  (iii)   Counterparty Credit Risk
 
      Cameco’s sales of uranium product, conversion and fuel manufacturing services expose the company to the risk of non-payment. Counterparty credit risk is associated with the ability of counterparties to satisfy their contractual obligations to Cameco, including both payment and performance.
 
      Cameco manages this risk by monitoring the credit worthiness of our customers and seeking pre-payment or other forms of payment security from customers with an unacceptable level of credit risk.
 
      Cameco’s maximum counterparty credit exposure at the balance sheet date consists primarily of the carrying amount of financial assets. At September 30, 2008, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk and no amounts were held as collateral.
 
  (iv)   Liquidity Risk
 
      Financial liquidity represents Cameco’s ability to fund future operating activities and investments. Cameco ensures that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account cash flows from operations and the company’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents. The company believes that these sources will be sufficient to cover the likely short-term and long-term cash requirements.
 
      The tables below outline the maturity dates for Cameco’s non-derivative financial liabilities including principal and interest as at September 30, 2008:

  (c)   Inventories
 
      On January 1, 2008, Cameco adopted the new Canadian standard, Handbook Section 3031, Inventories, which supersedes Handbook Section 3030 and converges with the International Accounting Standard Board’s recently amended standard IAS 2, Inventories. This Section provides more extensive guidance on the determination of cost, including allocation of overhead; narrows the permitted cost formulas; requires impairment testing; and expands the disclosure requirements to increase transparency. Upon adoption of the standard, the company assigned a value of $20,400,000 (US) to previously unvalued gold ore stockpiles at Centerra, its 53% owned subsidiary. This amount, with accompanying adjustments to income taxes and minority interest, has been recognized as at January 1, 2008 with a corresponding adjustment of $8,789,000 (Cdn) to retained earnings. Prior periods have not been restated.

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, differences in accounting policies will have to be addressed. Cameco is currently assessing the impact of this announcement on its financial statements.
 
  (b)   Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
      Effective January 1, 2009, Cameco will adopt the new Canadian standard, Handbook Section 3064, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, which replaces 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. Cameco is assessing the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

4.   Derivatives
 
    Effective August 1, 2008, Cameco voluntarily de-designated its foreign currency forward sales contracts as hedges of anticipated cash inflows. Accordingly, all subsequent changes in the fair value of these contracts will be recorded in earnings rather than in other comprehensive income. Mark-to-market gains and losses arising prior to August 1, 2008 will be recognized in net earnings at the time when the previously hedged transactions occur.
 
    The following tables summarize the fair value of derivatives and classification on the balance sheet:

At September 30, 2008, there was $95,000,000 (Cdn) and $336,000,000 (US) outstanding under this credit facility, bearing interest at 3.40% and 3.32% respectively. Borrowings under this short-term facility were incurred to finance acquisitions (note 14).

8.   Long-Term Debt
 
    Cameco has in place a $500,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility that is available until November 30, 2012. In addition to direct borrowings under the facility, up to $100,000,000 can be used for the issuance of letters of credit and, to the extent necessary, up to $400,000,000 may be allocated to provide liquidity support for the company’s commercial paper program. The facility ranks equally with all of Cameco’s other senior debt. At September 30, 2008 there was $105,000,000 outstanding under this credit facility.
 
    Cameco may borrow directly from investors by issuing up to $400,000,000 in commercial paper. At September 30, 2008, there was $146,000,000 outstanding under the commercial paper program.
 
    On August 14, 2008, Cameco gave notice of its intention to redeem its $230,000,000, 5% convertible subordinated debentures due October 1, 2013. As at September 30, 2008, substantially all of the debentures were converted into common shares of Cameco.
 
    During the year, Cameco terminated its remaining product loan arrangement and recognized previously deferred revenues and costs in its earnings for the first quarter of 2008 (notes 6 and 7).
 
    On April 1, 2008, Cameco arranged for a standby product loan facility with one of its customers. The arrangement allows Cameco to borrow up to 2,400,000 pounds U3O8 equivalent over the period 2008 to 2011 with repayment during 2012 to 2014. Under the loan facility, standby fees of 2% are payable based on the market value of the facility, and interest is payable on the market value of any amounts drawn at a rate of 5%. Any borrowings are payable in kind.
 
9.   Share Capital
  (a)   At September 30, 2008, there were 365,679,733 common shares outstanding.
 
  (b)   Options in respect of 7,212,390 shares are outstanding under the stock option plan and are exercisable up to 2018. For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, 11,280 options were exercised resulting in the issuance of shares (2007 — 37,950). For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, 79,540 options were exercised resulting in the issuance of shares (2007 — 1,657,726).
 
  (c)   On September 6, 2007, Cameco announced an open market share repurchase program for cancellation of up to 17,700,000 of its common shares, representing 5% of its common shares then outstanding. This repurchase program was authorized to be in effect until September 10, 2008. A total of 9,575,300 shares had been repurchased under this program at a cost of $429,327,000 at an average share price of $44.84. During 2008, no additional shares were repurchased.

    During 2008, Cameco recognized a recovery of $38,239,000 in future income taxes related to the proposed restructuring of Centerra (recovery of $3,715,000 during the third quarter of 2008). For income tax purposes, the shares proposed to be transferred in the restructuring are deemed to be disposed of at their market value. The resulting tax expense on the deemed capital gain fluctuates with changes in the share price of Centerra.

13.   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 24,090,619 shares have been issued.
 
    On July 27, 2007, Cameco’s board of directors approved an amendment to the stock option program introducing a cash settlement feature for the exercise of employee stock options. The cash settlement feature allows 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. The fair value of the options granted prior to July 27, 2007 was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The impact of this amendment on earnings was a reduction of $94,175,000.
 
    For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the amount recorded for stock compensation under this stock option plan was a net recovery of $62,233,000 (2007 expense — $9,663,000). For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the amount recorded was a net recovery of $42,118,000 (2007 expense — $19,063,000). In 2008 211,012 options were settled in cash (2007 — 57,309), at a total cost of $5,599,000 (2007 — $1,265,000).
 
14.   Acquisitions
  (a)   Acquisition of Interest in GE-Hitachi Global Laser Enrichment LLC (GLE)
 
      Effective June 19, 2008, Cameco, through a wholly owned subsidiary acquired a 24.0% interest in GLE at an initial cost of $123,800,000 (US). In addition, a promissory note in the amount of $73,300,000 (US) was issued in support of future development of the business. The remainder of GLE is owned indirectly by General Electric Company (51%) and Hitachi Ltd. (25%). GLE is in the process of developing uranium enrichment technology. The promissory note is payable on demand and bears interest at market rates. The purchase price was financed with cash and debt. The equity method is being used to account for this investment.
 
      The preliminary purchase price allocation of Cameco’s 24.0% investment is as follows:
         
 
    (thousands)  
 
Cash
  $ 46,415  
Notes receivable
    27,488

      The amount allocated to the investment in GLE includes an excess purchase price of approximately $110,517,000 over Cameco’s incremental share of the book value of the underlying net assets of the business. The values assigned to assets will be amortized to income over their useful lives.

  (b)   Acquisition of Interest in Kintyre Uranium Exploration Project
 
      Effective August 11, 2008, a joint venture comprised of a wholly owned Cameco subsidiary (70%) and Mitsubishi Development Pty Ltd. (30%) acquired a 100% interest in the Kintyre uranium exploration project (Kintyre) in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia from Rio Tinto for total proceeds of $495,000,000 (US). Cameco will operate the project and is funding its share of the purchase price through existing credit facilities. Kintyre is an advanced exploration project located in Western Australia about 1,250 kilometres northeast of Perth.
 
      The values assigned to the net assets acquired were as follows:
         
 
    (thousands)  
 
Property, plant & equipment
  $ 501,287  
Minority interest
    (150,386 )
 
Net assets acquired

Financed by:
       
Bank debt
  $ 350,901  
 
 
  $ 350,901  
 
      The amount allocated to property plant & equipment relates to the Kintyre Tenements comprised of four mining leases and thirteen licenses. This amount will be amortized to income on a unit of production basis upon commencement of mining operations.
 
  (c)   Acquisition of Interest in Govi High Power Exploration Inc.
 
      Effective August 22, 2008, Cameco, through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired a 10.88% interest in Govi High Power Exploration Inc. (GoviEx) at an initial cost of $28,125,000 (US). GoviEx is a closely held exploration company formed in 2006 with uranium exploration assets in Niger, Africa. The company holds about 2,300 square kilometres of exploration property in the region around Arlit, Niger, which has been extensively explored since the 1960s. GoviEx field teams are analyzing historical data and have begun a drilling program to confirm and expand historical resource estimates and to provide data that conforms to current Canadian standards. GoviEx also holds about 2,400 square kilometres near Agadez, Niger. This area is in the early stages of exploration. The strategic alliance will also effectively provide Cameco with access to all of GoviEx’s initiatives in other African countries.
 
      Under the strategic alliance, Cameco can acquire another approximate 10% interest in GoviEx for $31,250,000 (US) following completion of a due diligence review expected by year end. The arrangement stipulates that at least 90% of the proceeds received from Cameco to acquire its ownership interests in GoviEx will be used for uranium exploration.
 
      If Cameco decides to increase its ownership in GoviEx after completion of due diligence, it secures additional ownership and governance rights. These include the right for Cameco to increase its ownership interest up to a maximum of approximately 48% over the next four years by exercise of warrants issued by GoviEx and options granted on shares held by the principal shareholders of GoviEx. Increasing ownership to 48% would cost Cameco between $145,000,000 (US) and $212,500,000 (US) depending upon timing of the exercise. Future decisions by Cameco to increase its ownership in GoviEx will be guided by achievement of certain technical milestones agreed to by the parties.

15.   Goodwill
 
    Cameco tests goodwill for possible impairment on an annual basis and at any other time if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. During the third quarter of 2008, Cameco completed the goodwill impairment test for all reporting units. The results of this test have indicated there is no impairment.

17.   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 (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.
 
    As a result, Cameco and Centerra entered into discussions with the Kyrgyz Government. These discussions resulted in the signing of two agreements, both dated August 30, 2007, between the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic and, respectively, Cameco and Centerra. Under the terms of the agreements, the Kyrgyz Government and Kyrgyzaltyn JSC, a joint stock company owned by the Kyrgyz Government, agreed to support Centerra’s continuing long-term development of the Kumtor project and to facilitate eventual divestiture of Cameco’s interest in Centerra. In return, the Kyrgyz Government would have received 32,305,238 shares (22,305,238 net from Cameco and 10,000,000 treasury shares from Centerra) upon closing of the definitive legal agreements. Of these, 15,000,000 shares would have been received immediately with 17,305,238 shares held in escrow to be released within four years subject to a number of conditions, including the approval by the Parliament of the Kyrgyz Republic.

    These agreements were originally to expire on October 31, 2007, but the parties subsequently agreed to extend the deadline for closing the transactions to June 1, 2008. This deadline has now passed and the agreements have expired. However, the conditions that gave rise to these agreements still exist and Cameco believes the number of Centerra shares that would have been transferred to the Kyrgyz Government is indicative of the ultimate cost to remedy those conditions.
 
    During the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, Cameco increased its estimated pre-tax loss on the transactions by $8,800,000, as a result of the increase in the carrying value in its investment in Centerra since December 31, 2007.
 
18.   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 letter 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. The parties have agreed on a sole arbitrator and are setting a schedule for the arbitration hearing.
 
      In anticipation of this claim, BE issued on February 10, 2006 and then served on Ontario Power Generation Inc. and BPLP 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.
 
      Management is of the opinion, after review of the facts with counsel, that this action against BPLP will not have a material financial impact on Cameco’s financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
 
  (b)   Cameco, as a partner in BPLP, has provided the following financial assurances, with varying terms to 2018:
  (i)   Licensing assurances to Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission of up to $133,300,000. At September 30, 2008, 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 September 30, 2008.
 
  (iii)   Termination payments to Ontario Power Generation Inc. pursuant to the lease agreement of $58,300,000.
      The fair value of these guarantees is nominal.
