Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including but not limited to, statements regarding estimation of uranium production and pricing, which are based on information from the uranium producers who are planning to produce uranium from lands in which the Company holds a royalty interest.  Actual results and future developments could differ materially from the results or developments expressed in or implied by these forward-looking statements.  These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, volatility of uranium prices, market supply and demand, competition, environmental hazards, health and safety conditions, regulation or government action, litigation and uncertainties about estimates of reserves.  For a discussion of the factors, including without limitation, those that could materially and adversely affect Excalibur’s actual results and performance, see “Risk Factors” set forth on pages 4 and 5 of Excalibur’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013.  Excalibur undertakes no obligation, other than that imposed by law, to make any revisions to the forward-looking statements contained in this filing or to update them to reflect circumstances occurring after the date of this filing.
 
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed financial statements and notes presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the financial statements and notes in the last filed Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the period ended May 31, 2013 for a full understanding of the Company’s financial position.

Background

Excalibur Industries (“Excalibur”) 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. (“Mountain West”), a Nevada corporation, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Excalibur.  Excalibur and Mountain West are hereinafter collectively referred to as Excalibur or Company.

Excalibur is a natural resource business enterprise focused on uranium, an industry that has seen a long period of volatility in production and pricing following the 1979 incident at the Three Mile Island power station and the vents at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi power station after being severely damaged by a tsunami in 2011, which continues to be in the news for radioactive leakage.  However, most industry pundits continue to forecast a positive future for the industry, including a major increase in pricing of yellow cake, in the near term.

Current Activity

Excalibur’s uranium position in the Powder River Basin is maintained by royalty agreements held by Excalibur and Mountain West with two uranium producers, Uranerz Energy Corporation and Cameco.  Uranerz is in the final stages of construction of a facility at its Nichols Ranch property and intends to commence ISL production in the 4th quarter of 2013 or early 2014.  The Company holds a 6% or 8% (depending on the spot price of uranium) royalty interest, in the Nichols Ranch property.  Initial production from this facility was intended to be early in 2013 but was delayed due to a permit issue for deep disposal wells.  All permitting is now in place and the first of the two wells has been completed.  Construction of the second well is underway and expected to be completed in late 2013.  Uranerz has reported that after startup debugging, it plans to produce 600,000 pounds of yellow cake per year from the Nichols Ranch property.  Uranerz still faces many hurdles, financial and otherwise, before uranium production commences, and the timing and amount of production by Uranez are subject to change and beyond the control of the Company.  The Company has an advance royalty repayment obligation of $250,000.00 to Uranerz once production commences.  Cameco has begun yellow cake production from its recently completed facility at the North Butte property, in which the Company holds a 4% royalty interest.  Cameco and the Company are currently negotiating the methodology of establishing a price to replace the terms of an outdated agreement.  Cameco has reported that it expects to produce 300,000 pounds of yellow cake from the North Butte property in 2013, increasing to 700,000 pounds annually by 2015.  Again, the timing and amount of production reported by Cameco are subject to change and are beyond the control of the Company.  The Company has an advance royalty repayment obligation of $1,419,268.86 from Cameco production.  The advance royalty repayment obligation for both Uranerz and Cameco totals $1,669,268.86.

The Company may incur additional financial obligations of Executive Compensation and Severance Pay in order to retain its current management team and to recompense the Company’s former President & CEO and Secretary/Treasurer, whose dedicated and mostly uncompensated efforts kept the Company solvent through a long industry downturn.

Executive Compensation.  The Company has not officially established executive compensation for any of its officers and directors, and the issue is currently under review.  The Company expects to address this issue at a special meeting of the Board of Directors scheduled for October 16, 2013.  Compensation arrangements for Jay Mackie, the Company’s current President & CEO, and Michael Johnson, Secretary/Treasurer, are expected to be accomplished under consulting services agreements and will be contingent on the Company’s future financial position.
 
Severance Pay.  Previous management had established a severance payment of $100,000 for former Company Secretary/Treasurer Marguerite Emanuel, and $300,000 for the Company’s long standing President & CEO Joseph P. Hubert.  Ms. Emanuel served as Secretary/Treasurer of the Company from 2001 to 2012, without monetary compensation.  Mr. Hubert was elected President & CEO in 1982 and received no monetary compensation from 1999 to his retirement in 2012.  The terms of the severance arrangement have yet to be determined and ratified by the Company and will be contingent on the Company’s future financial position.  This issue will also be addressed by the Board at its October 16 meeting.
 
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
Not applicable.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.
 
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2013, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
