Excalibur Industries - May 31, 2002

ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
- -----------------
Excalibur Industries is a Utah corporation formed by the consolidation of Tower
Enterprises (formerly Moab Uranium Company) and The Thrifty Helper on June 1,
1971. In January 1972, Excalibur purchased all of the issued and outstanding
shares of capital stock of Mountain West Mines, Inc., a Nevada corporation,
which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Excalibur.
Excalibur Industries' business is natural resources and is primarily involved in
the uranium mining industry. The domestic uranium outlook is suffering its most
depressed state in its history. Current open market prices for yellow cake are
at all time lows and uranium production in the United States has all but
disappeared. The majority of the major mines and their United States Producers
have closed and abandoned the industry. Excalibur throughout this period has
been able to maintain its royalty position in the most valuable of its uranium
reserves located in the Powder River District of Wyoming.
With the limited resources available to Excalibur, it is not in a position to
actively participate in a mining program and must rely on its lease owners and
an improved market.
URANIUM REPORT
--------------
POWDER RIVER BASIN-WYOMING - HISTORY
- ------------------------------------
A. Mountain West Mines, Inc.
Beginning in 1965, Mountain West Mines Inc., a private corporation
founded by Claude E. Nugent, Robert H. Ruggeri and Joseph P. Hubert,
operated the underground Betty Mine and the open pit Glade Mine in the
Elk Ridge, Utah uranium district, each operation ending upon the
completion of their respective AEC contracts.
During the dormant years of the domestic uranium industry, MWM
continued full-time uranium exploration. In 1966, Mountain West Mines
began its successful geologic exploration of the Powder River, Wyoming
Uranium District. A large scale mineral property program was begun,
along with the beginning of the district reconnaissance drill hole
fence project.
In 1967, the Nuclear Power Industry revived interest in uranium fuels
and the Powder River Basin began to attract major corporate attention.
MWM in order to maintain viability was forced to seek outside financial
assistance.
B. The Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company
Excalibur (Mountain West Mines Inc.) entered into an Option and
Agreement dated May 17, 1967, an Addendum dated August 29, 1967, an
Addendum dated August 31, 1968, and a Deed and Agreement dated October
20, 1976 with the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company.
Excalibur (MWM) retains a 4% yellow cake royalty on all production
resulting from the operations of the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company, its
assigns and/or its Successor in Interest within an Area of Interest
defined as Townships 33 through 50 North of Ranges 69 through 79 West,
6th principal meridian.
2
POWDER RIVER BASIN - WYOMING (Continued)
- ----------------------------------------
The Collins Draw ISL pilot program produced a minor royalty credit to
Excalibur.
In 1986, failing the contractual obligation of furnishing Excalibur
with prior written notification, the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company
assigned its operating rights to the Ruby ranch project subject to the
terms and conditions of MWM/Cliffs agreements to Magnox Electric plc
(UK) subsidiary Central Electricity Generating Board Exploration
(America) (CEGB). Cliffs retained reimbursement responsibility for Area
of Interest royalty obligation to Excalibur payable by its Successor in
Interest within the Area of Interest, less subject lands. In the event
of project abandonment by CEGB (et al), properties must be reassigned
to Cliffs.
In 1987, failing the contractual obligation of furnishing Excalibur
with prior written notification, the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company
assigned its operating rights to the Greasewood Creek and North Butte
projects subject to the terms and conditions of the MWM and Cliffs
agreements to Uranez USA, Inc. (Germany). Cliffs retained reimbursement
responsibility for Area of Interest royalty obligations to Excalibur
payable by its Successor in Interest within the Area of Interest less
subject lands. In the event of project abandonment by Uranez,
properties must be reassigned to Cliffs. Failing the contractual
obligation of furnishing Excalibur with prior written notification,
Cliffs sold Excalibur's advance royalty credit of some $1,319,287 to
Uranez.
C. Cameco Corporation, (Canada), (Power Resources Inc., a member of the
Cameco Group of Companies)
Cameco Corporation contends it is the world's largest producer of
uranium and the largest supplier of combined uranium and conversion
services. Through a series of transactions, Cameco with its subsidiary
Power Resources Inc., purports to have acquired the Powder River Basin
operating assets of CEGB and Uranez/Cogema. Excalibur has not received
proper documentation of either acquisition.
The following projects subject to Area of Interest royalty obligations
are listed in the Cameco Corporation 2001 Annual report:

2) The Grade/Thickness (GT) factor for reserve estimates was not revealed.
D. Quivira Mining Company (Rio Algom Ltd. - Canada)
Rio Algom Ltd. was purchased by BHP Billiton (England) in 2001 and
reduced its uranium participation. In 2001 Quivira Mining Company
quitclaim re-assignment and conveyances by and among Quivira Mining and
Everest Exploration their sum total of 5,000 acres of unpatented mining
claims to Excalibur. Excalibur retained 100% claims ownership to six
(6) known potential ISL reserves. These reserves are independently
owned by Excalibur and not subject to the Cliffs/MWM agreements.

POWDER RIVER BASIN - WYOMING (Continued)
- ----------------------------------------
E. Excalibur's 7,000,000-foot (+) drill hole library covering over 500
square miles of the Powder River Basin could prove invaluable in a
profitable uranium market.
SILVER REPORT
Excalibur owns approximately 162 acres of patented lode mining claims in Ouray
County, Colorado.
BUSINESS
Excalibur is natural resource oriented. In the past its activities have
consisted of acquisition, mining and sale of mineral properties. The
Corporation's resources are extremely limited for a corporation of this
character. Under the present depressed market conditions it has no alternative
but to await a change. At the present time the corporation is inactive, except
for overseeing its leases and maintaining corporate viability.
ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES
- -------------------
Mountain West Mines, Inc. (Mountain West) a wholly owned subsidiary of
Excalibur, owns a royalty interest in approximately 85 patented lode mining
claims, and numerous unpatented lode mining claims in the Powder River Basin in
Johnson and Campbell Counties, Wyoming. These properties had capitalized costs
of $347,032, and are directly related to the advance royalties received from
Cliffs as described in Item 1 of this Form 10-K. The extent of any ore bodies
and related possible collection of production royalties is not determinable at
this time. The Board of Directors had determined, however, that a more realistic
value should be placed on the books for financial reporting and elected to
reduce the reported value for financial statement purposes to $100,000.
In May 1986, Cliffs conveyed, subject to the MWM/Cliffs agreements, to Magnox
Electric plc subsidiary, Central Electricity Generating Board Exploration Inc.
63.688 acres of patented claims and 12 unpatented mining claims (Ruby Ranch
project). In 1989, Magnox Electric through its subsidiaries CEGB and Power
Resources Inc. acquired 75% interest in the Highland Uranium Project (HUP) from
Everest Exploration (et al). HUP is subject to the terms and conditions of the
May 17, 1967 Option and Agreement and Addenda between MWM/Cliffs. According to
newspapers and other published accounts, HUP uranium production by Magnox
Electric subsidiaries indicates a multi-million dollar royalty payment is due
Excalibur.
In January 1997, Cameco Corporation (Canada) purchased the assets of CEGB and
Power Resources from Magnox Electric plc (UK) along with the obligations and
conditions set forth in the May 17, 1967 Option and Agreement and Addenda
between MWM/Cliffs. The HUP production royalties have not been paid by Cameco's
operator, its wholly owned subsidiary Power Resources Inc.
The right of reassignment of all uranium mineral properties within the Area of
Interest is retained by Excalibur as set forth by the May 17, 1967 Option and
Agreement.
In April 1987, Excalibur had not received the contractual obligation of prior
written notice when Uranez USA (Germany) purchased unpatented claims and the
below cited patented claims along with the remaining portion of MWM advance
royalty from Cliffs. The transaction subjected Uranez to the obligations as
conditions set forth in the May 17, 1967 Option and Agreement and Addenda
between MWM/Cliffs.

In May 1991, failing the contractual obligation of furnishing Excalibur with
prior written notification, Pathfinder Mines, Inc., subsidiary of Cogema-France,
purchased Uranez' Powder River Uranium holdings along with the remaining portion
of MWM advance royalty. This transaction subjected Pathfinder to the terms and
conditions as outlined in the May 17, 1967 Option and Agreement and Addenda
between MWM/Cliffs. Subsequently, Pathfinder assumed the Christianson Ranch ISL
operation and failed to make Area of Interest royalty payments to Excalibur.
Between the delinquent royalty payments from the HUP and the Christianson Ranch
operations, the advance royalty payment obligation of $1,319,287.00 has been
satisfied.
In 1973, Excalibur sold mining claims in Campbell and Johnson Counties, Wyoming
to American Nuclear Corporation. The project became a part of a joint venture
between American Nuclear and the Tennessee Valley Authority. At public auction
in 1991, they sold this project along with their entire holdings to General
Atomic. In 1992, General Atomic sold this same project to Pathfinder. Excalibur
retains a 2 1/2 % yellow cake royalty from the ANC contract and an additional 4%
yellow cake royalty from the MWM/Cliffs Area of Interest royalty provision.
In 2001, failing the contractual obligation of furnishing Excalibur with prior
written notification, Pathfinder Mines Inc. (Cogema) executed Special Warranty
Deeds with Cameco Corporation (Canada) through its wholly owned subsidiary Power
Resources Inc., transferring Pathfinder's Powder River uranium holdings.
Camecos' acquisition of that portion of Pathfinder's mineral properties acquired
from the Uranez/Cliffs contract, commits Cameco and its wholly owned subsidiary
Power Resources Inc. to a second acknowledgment to the terms and conditions in
the May 17, 1967 Option and Agreement and Addenda between MWM/Cliffs. These
mineral lands are within the Area of Interest and are subject to a 4% yellow
cake gross royalty in addition to the royalty obligations inherent in their
title.
In July 1983, Cliffs quitclaimed 436 unpatented lode mining claims and 1,042 net
acres of fee mineral leases to Texas Eastern Nuclear, Inc., of Houston, Texas.
In August 1986, Texas Eastern Nuclear, Inc., reassigned said properties to
Mountain West, who, in turn, conveyed and assigned its interest in said property
to Everest Minerals, subject to a variable overriding royalty reservation which
ranges 2% to 6%. Everest Minerals determined to abandon a portion of the
property and offered to re-convey it to Excalibur. Excalibur has since abandoned
said property.
On June 28, 1990, Everest Minerals sold the remaining 270 claims to Quivira
Mining Company, 6305 Waterford Boulevard, Suite 325, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
73118, a subsidiary of Rio Algom Ltd., a Canadian based world producer of
uranium and other metals. Excalibur retained the right of reassignment.

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDUCTION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Excalibur Industries experienced substantial fluctuations in its consolidated
net income over the past several years. The Company maintained its mineral
properties and interest throughout that period of fluctuation despite a large
drain on its financial resources. Management is now working to retain as much of
its mineral rights and interests as possible, considering its limited resources
and the depressed market conditions.
7
The Board of Directors has adopted a policy designed to husband its resources
and retain as much of its mineral interests as possible, taking into account the
depressed market for minerals and the Company's limited resources.
The consolidated financial statements contained herein under ITEM 8 should be
read in conjunction with this ITEM 7, with particular emphasis on the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. Additional information pertaining to the
fluctuation of the Company's income and expenses is detailed.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- ---------------------------------------------------
Consolidation
-------------
The consolidated financial statements presented herein include the
accounts of Excalibur Industries (Excalibur) and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Mountain West Mines, Inc., (Mountain West), a Nevada
corporation, qualified to do business in the states of Utah and Wyoming.
All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated from
these statements.
Mining Properties and Interests
-------------------------------
Mining claims, leases, and royalty interests are stated at cost, unless
in the judgement of the Directors a lesser amount is felt to be more
appropriate due to a permanent decline in value. No depletion has been
charged against income for financial statement purposes, but is deducted
for Federal income tax purposes when allowable. The full carrying value
is charged against income at the time of sale of disposition of an
asset. If a perpetual overriding royalty is retained the recorded costs
of the asset are treated the same for financial statement purposes as
for income tax purposes and are not reduced in value until production
royalties are received.
Depreciable Property and Equipment
----------------------------------
Depreciable property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation for
income tax purposes is consistent with that used for financial statement
purposes and has been computed using the straight-line method.
Deferred Income Taxes
---------------------
Deferred income taxes are provided as a result of timing differences in
reporting income for financial statement and tax purposes. Currently no
deferred income taxes payable (or receivable) are recognized.
Earnings Per Share
------------------
Earnings per share of common stock are computed using the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Primary
and full diluted earnings per share are shown as the same figure if the
dilative effect of any common stock equivalents or convertible
securities are less than three percent. The Company currently has no
dilative equivalents.
Note 2 - Mining Properties and Interests
- ----------------------------------------
Uranium
-------
The Company owns various royalty and other interests in patented and
unpatented mining claims and mineral leased acreage, located in the
Powder River Basin, Johnson and Campbell Counties, Wyoming. Future
earned royalties are subject to offset by the amount of certain advance
minimum royalty revenues. These properties were assigned a value of
$347,032 following the acquisition of Mountain West by Excalibur.
Various acreage has been dropped during the past years as such acreage
was determined to be of no value. The capitalized costs of these
properties have been reallocated to the remaining acreage still retained
by the Company. The Board of Directors determined that a more realistic
value should be placed on the books and elected to reduce the reporting
value for financial statement purposes by $247,032.
