NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Uranium Energy Corp. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 16, 2003.  Uranium Energy Corp. and its subsidiary companies and a controlled partnership (collectively, the “Company” or “we”) are engaged in uranium mining and related activities, including exploration, pre-extraction, extraction and processing of uranium concentrates, on projects located in the United States, Canada and the Republic of Paraguay.

As at October 31, 2024, we had working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $248.49 million including cash and cash equivalents of $190.60 million and purchased uranium inventories of $64.63 million. We believe our existing cash resources and net proceeds of $31.04 million received from the issuance of common stock under our at-the-market offering subsequent to October 31, 2024, and if necessary, cash generated from the sale of the Company’s liquid assets, will provide sufficient funds to carry out our planned operations including uranium mining and our inventory purchase commitments for 12 months from the date that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, including a $175 million cash acquisition of a portfolio of uranium projects from Rio Tinto America Inc. with closing expected to occur during the quarter ending January 31, 2025. Upon completion of the acquisition, the Company will replace approximately $25 million in surety bonds securing future reclamation costs relating to the project.

Our continuation as a going concern for a period beyond those 12 months will be dependent upon our ability to achieve consistent positive cash flow from the sale of our uranium inventories and to obtain adequate additional financing, as our operations are capital intensive and future capital expenditures are expected to be substantial. Historically, we have been reliant primarily on equity financings from the sale of our common stock and on debt financings in order to fund our operations, and this reliance is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.  Our continued operations, including the recoverability of the carrying values of our assets, are dependent ultimately on our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow from our operations.
