Ur-Energy Inc.
(an Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
Ur-Energy Inc. (the "Company") is an exploration stage junior mining company headquartered in Littleton, Colorado, engaged in the identification, acquisition, exploration, evaluation and development of uranium mineral properties located primarily in the United States with additional exploration interests in Canada. Due to the nature of the uranium mining methods to be used by the Company on the Lost Creek property, and the definition of “mineral reserves” under National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”), which uses the Canadian Institute of Mining (“CIM”) Definition Standards, the Company has not determined whether the properties contain mineral reserves. However, the Company’s March 16, 2011 NI 43-101 compliant “Preliminary Assessment Lost Creek Project, Sweetwater County, Wyoming” outlines the potential economic viability of the Lost Creek project, which is currently in the permitting process with state and federal regulators. The recoverability of amounts recorded for mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable resources, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to develop the properties and upon attaining future profitable production from the properties or sufficient proceeds from disposition of the properties.

Significant accounting policies
|
Basis of presentation
Ur-Energy Inc. was incorporated on March 22, 2004 under the laws of the Province of Ontario. The Company continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act on August 8, 2006. These financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include all of the assets, liabilities and expenses of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Ur-Energy USA Inc., NFU Wyoming, LLC, Lost Creek ISR, LLC, NFUR Bootheel, LLC, Hauber Project LLC, NFUR Hauber, LLC, ISL Resources Corporation, ISL Wyoming, Inc. and CBM-Energy Inc. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Ur-Energy Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”.
For fiscal years commencing in 2011, most companies transitioned to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) which is now the Canadian standard. An exception to this general rule exists for certain companies that are also U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issuers where financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP would be acceptable, without reconciliation to IFRS. Because the Company’s primary operations are in the United States and because its status with the SEC may eventually require its financial statements to be prepared in accordance with US GAAP, the Company elected to change its basis of accounting and financial reporting to comply with US GAAP effective January 1, 2011.
The Company has accounted for this change in presentation on a retroactive basis. The balance sheet amounts as of December 31, 2010, the comparative operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and the cumulative operating results for the period from March 22, 2004 through December 31, 2010 were restated accordingly. A reconciliation of Canadian GAAP and US GAAP is included in Note 16 of the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2010 and for the year then ended.
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not conform in all respects to the requirements of generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements reflect all normal adjustments which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements include a note describing the reconciling difference between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP.
Restricted Stock Units
The amount of the restricted stock awards expensed by the Company was based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the day preceeding the grant (intrinsic value) and is being amortized ratably on a straight-line basis over the two-year requisite service period.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance (ASU 2010-06) that requires new disclosures for fair value measurements and provides clarification for existing disclosures requirements. More specifically, it requires reporting entities to 1) disclose separately the amount of significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair-value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers, and 2) provide information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis rather than net in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair-value measurements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the Level 3 fair-value measurements disclosures that are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of the updated guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In the third quarter of 2009, the other member, Crosshair Exploration & Mining (“Crosshair”), of The Bootheel Project, LLC (the “Project”) completed its earn-in requirement by spending US$3.0 million and now has a 75% interest in the Project with the Company retaining the other 25%. From the date of the earn-in, the other member is now required to fund 75% of the Project’s expenditures and the Company the remaining 25%. As the Company is no longer the controlling member of the Project, the Project is now accounted for using the equity accounting method with the Company’s proportionate share of the Project’s loss included in the Statement of Operations from the date of earn-in and the Company’s net investment reflected on the Balance Sheet.
Crosshair has announced its plans for a 2011 drill program, as well as the continuation of necessary wildlife surveys and other baseline monitoring at the project. Ur-Energy has elected to not participate financially in the 2011 program, subject to its reservation of all rights under the Project operating agreement.

The weighted average grant date fair value was $1.55 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The exercise price of a new grant is set at the closing price for the stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) from the day before so there is no intrinsic value as of the date of issue. The total fair value of shares vested during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $0.4 million.

Share-Based Compensation Expense
Stock-based compensation expense was $0.6 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
As of March 31, 2011, there was approximately $1.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expense (net of estimated pre-vesting forfeitures) related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Option Plan and $0.8 million under the RSU Plan. That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years and 1.8 years, respectively.
Cash received from stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $3.2 million and none, respectively.
Fair Value Calculations
The fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
| |
2011
|
2010

|
|

|

|
|
Forfeiture rate
|
4.4%
|
4.3%
|
|
Expected dividend rate
|
0%
|
0%
|
The Company estimates expected volatility using daily historical trading data of the Company’s common stock, because this method is recognized as a valid method used to predict future volatility. The risk-free interest rates are determined by reference to Canadian Treasury Note constant maturities that approximate the expected option term. The Company has never paid dividends and currently has no plans to do so.
Stock-based compensation expense is recognized net of estimated pre-vesting forfeitures, which results in recognition of expense on options that are ultimately expected to vest over the expected option term. Forfeitures were estimated using actual historical forfeiture experience.
Although the estimated fair values of stock options are determined as outlined above, these estimates are based on assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables, including the Company’s stock price volatility over the expected terms of the awards, estimates of the expected option terms, including actual and expected option exercise behaviors and estimates of pre-vesting forfeitures. Changes in any of these assumptions could materially affect the estimated value of stock options and, therefore the valuation methods used may not provide the same measure of fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction.
The fair value used for the RSUs issued in January 2011 was $2.87 per unit which was the closing price of the stock on the TSX as of the day preceding the grant of the units.

Financial instruments
|
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, marketable securities, amounts receivable, bonding and other deposits and accounts payable. The Company is exposed to risks related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and management of cash and cash equivalents and short term investments. See the table in Note 3 for the composition of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents.
Fair Value Measurements
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:
Ur-Energy Inc.
(an Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques requiring inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
The following table sets forth the Company's financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) by level within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company's money market accounts which are invested directly with financial institutions and guaranteed investment certificates which are actively traded by dealers or brokers are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Guaranteed investment certificates and certificates of deposit which are purchased directly from banks are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, short term investments and bonding deposits. The Company’s cash equivalents and short-term investments consist of Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar denominated guaranteed investment certificates and certificates of deposits. These instruments are maintained at financial institutions in Canada and the United States. Of the amount held on deposit at March 31, 2011, approximately $6.5 million is covered by either the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or the United States Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). As of April 15, 2011, several of the banks maintaining our deposits will be merging under a single charter resulting in a decrease in FDIC coverage of $5.8 million. Another $3.5 million is guaranteed by a Canadian provincial government leaving approximately $26.7 million at risk should the financial institutions with which these amounts are invested be rendered insolvent. As at March 31, 2011, the Company does not consider any of its financial assets to be impaired.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.
The Company manages liquidity risk through regular cash flow forecasting of cash requirements to fund exploration and development projects and operating costs.
As at March 31, 2011, the Company’s financial liabilities consisted of trade accounts payable of $1,078,931, all of which are due within normal trade terms of generally 30 to 60 days.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk to the Company of adverse financial impact due to changes in the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments as a result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Market risk arises as a result of the Company incurring a significant portion of its expenditures and a significant portion of its cash equivalents and short-term investments in U.S. dollars, and holding cash equivalents and short term investments which earn interest.
Interest rate risk
Financial instruments that expose the Company to interest rate risk are its cash equivalents and short term investments. The Company’s objectives for managing its cash and cash equivalents are to maintain sufficient funds on hand at all times to meet day to day requirements and to place any amounts which are considered in excess of day to day requirements on short-term deposit with the Company's banks so that they earn interest. When placing amounts of cash and cash equivalents on short-term deposit, the Company only uses financial institutions studied by the Company for financial stability (measured by independent rating services and reviews of the entity’s financial statements, where appropriate) and approved by the Treasury and Investment Committee of the Board of Directors.
Currency risk
The Company incurs expenses and expenditures in Canada and the United States and is exposed to risk from changes in foreign currency rates. In addition, the Company holds financial assets and liabilities in Canadian and U.S. dollars. The Company does not utilize any financial instruments or cash management policies to mitigate the risks arising from changes in foreign currency rates.
At March 31, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, short term investments and bonding deposits of approximately US$28.5 million (US$29.4 million as at December 31, 2010) and had accounts payable of US$0.8 million (US$0.8 million as at December 31, 2010) which were denominated in U.S. dollars.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company has completed a sensitivity analysis to estimate the impact that a change in foreign exchange rates would have on the net loss of the Company, based on the Company’s net US$ denominated assets and liabilities at period end. This sensitivity analysis assumes that changes in market interest rates do not cause a change in foreign exchange rates. This sensitivity analysis shows that a change of +/- 10% in US$ foreign exchange rate would have a +/- $2.7 million impact on net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This impact is primarily as a result of the Company having cash and investment balances denominated in US dollars and US dollar denominated trade accounts payables. The financial position of the Company may vary at the time that a change in exchange rates occurs causing the impact on the Company’s results to differ from that shown above.
The Company has also completed a sensitivity analysis to estimate the impact that a change in interest rates would have on the net loss of the Company. This sensitivity analysis assumes that changes in market foreign exchange rates do not cause a change in interest rates. This sensitivity analysis shows that a change of +/- 100 basis points in interest rate would have a +/- $0.1 million impact on net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The Company’s average interest rate for the period was 0.77% which is less than 100 basis points. This impact is primarily as a result of the Company having cash and short-term investments invested in interest bearing accounts. The financial position of the Company may vary at the time that a change in interest rates occurs causing the impact on the Company’s results to differ from that shown above.
Rent expense under lease agreements totaled $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively.
