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 page 3 of Excalibur’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016.  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, 2016 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 languished for decades following the 1979 Three Mile Island power station incident, and, more recently, the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that severely damaged Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi power station. However, most industry pundits are cautiously forecasting a positive future for the industry, including an increase in pricing of yellowcake, in the long term.
 
Current Activity
 
Excalibur’s uranium position in the Powder River Basin is maintained by royalty agreements held by Excalibur with two uranium producers, Energy Fuels, Inc., which acquired Uranerz Energy Corporation in June 2015 (“Energy Fuels”) and Cameco Corporation (“Cameco”).
 
With the acquisition of Uranerz Energy Corporation, Energy Fuels now operates the uranium processing facility at the Nichols Ranch property, in which Excalibur holds a royalty interest (6% or 8% depending on the spot price of uranium). The Nichols Ranch facility was commissioned in April 2014, and uranium production began in June 2014. Energy Fuels/Uranerz produced a total of 103,164.0 pounds of uranium concentrate (“yellowcake”) from the Nichols Ranch in the second calendar quarter of 2016, resulting in a royalty payment of $172,572.74. Production from the Nichols Ranch is difficult to estimate for the remainder of 2016 due to poor market conditions. The timing and amount of production by Uranez are subject to change and beyond the control of Excalibur.
 
Cameco continues uranium production from its facility at the North Butte property, in which Excalibur holds a 4% royalty interest. The royalty to be paid to Excalibur is based on Cameco’s quarterly average realized uranium price as reported in Cameco’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Cameco produced 71,288.8 pounds of uranium concentrate from the North Butte in the second calendar quarter of 2016, resulting in a royalty payment of $122,322.34. In April 2016, Cameco announced that it would be curtailing production at its U.S. uranium operations in response to market conditions. Future production is difficult to estimate. Again, the timing and amount of production reported by Cameco are subject to change and are beyond the control of Excalibur.

The final installment of $50,000 owed to Cliffs Natural Resources from production royalty on North Butte and Ruby Ranch properties under the 2009 Settlement Agreement is scheduled to be paid in December 2016.
 
Executive Compensation. For calendar year 2016, Jay R. Mackie, Excalibur’s President and CEO, is compensated at the rate of $8,000 per month plus restrictive stock with a total aggregate market value of approximately $40,000 annually, paid quarterly, and Michael P. Johnson, Excalibur’s Secretary and Treasurer, is compensated at the rate of $1,250 per month. For calendar year 2016, all Board members will be compensated $3,625 annually, paid quarterly, plus restrictive stock with a total aggregate fair market value of approximately $375, which was issued June 30, 2016.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
