                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION


     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  The accompanying statements should be read
in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company's
1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the full calendar year ending December 31, 1996.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Operating Cash Flows

     For the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company's cash and cash
equivalents decreased $976,000 as compared to an increase of $3,438,000 for the
second quarter of 1995.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3,211,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to an increase of $954,000 for the
same period of 1995.  The Company's uranium operations generated positive cash
flow from operations of $625,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, in
comparison to positive cash flow from operations in the same period in 1995 of
$3,070,000.  Net cash provided by uranium operations for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 was $873,000 compared to a positive cash flow from operations of
$1,955,000 for the same period in 1995.  The Company's net working capital at
June 30, 1996 was $788,000.

     During January, 1995, when companies controlled by Oren L. Benton (the
"Benton Companies") held effective control of the common stock of the Company,
the Company transferred $1 million to the Benton Companies in connection with a
planned joint venture to process uranium at a Benton Companies' mill.  Shortly
thereafter, an additional $1,080,000 was transferred to or for the benefit of
Mr. Benton or certain Benton Companies without the authorization of the
Company's Board of Directors.  In February, 1995, Mr. Benton and certain of the
Benton Companies filed for bankruptcy.  In June, 1995, the Company recovered
$300,000 of the unauthorized transfer, however the remaining $1.78 million has
not been recovered and there can be no assurance that the Company's efforts to
pursue remedies will be successful.  A loss for these transactions was recorded
in the first half of 1995 which resulted in a reduction of $1.78 million in the
Company's equity.

Investing Cash Flows

     The Company resumed development activities at its Rosita site during the
second quarter of 1995 and uranium production began in June, 1995.  During the
six months ending June 30, 1996, $1,455,000 in development expenditures were
incurred at Rosita.  Capital expenditures to be incurred for the remainder of
1996 at Rosita, primarily for additional wellfield development, are expected to
be approximately $1,700,000.  Significant development activities at the
Company's Kingsville Dome facility began in December, 1995 and resulted in
commencement of production at this site in April, 1996.  Capital expenditures
at Kingsville Dome during the six months ending June 30, 1996 totaled
$2,776,000 and are expected to be $4,300,000 for the remainder of 1996. The
Company expects to fund its 1996 operations and capital expenditures at its
Kingsville Dome and Rosita projects from cash on hand, sales proceeds under
1996 uranium deliveries and through existing financing arrangements.

     In June 1996, the Company acquired the rights to a significant uranium
deposit in South Texas known as the Alta Mesa project.  The Company spent
$4,000,000 for the property which is estimated to contain approximately 8.0
million pounds of in-place proven and probable reserves and an additional 5.0
million pounds of in-place potential.  Extensive drilling and environmental
work has been undertaken on this property by previous leaseholders which are
expected to be useful to the Company in bringing the project into production as
early as the first quarter of 1998 at an annual production rate of 1.0 million
pounds.  The projected recovery factors on the Alta Mesa property are estimated
at 65% to 75% of their in-place reserves and initial estimated production
costs, including acquisition costs, plant and wellfield capital costs,
operating costs and projected reclamation costs are projected to be in the
$10-$11 per pound range.

     The initial capital costs to acquire the rights to the Alta Mesa property
were obtained through a one-year note from the Lindner Dividend Fund, Inc.  It
is anticipated that the repayment of the $4.0 million note will be funded by
additional sources of debt or equity financing later this year or early 1997.

     Capital expenditures required at the Company's Churchrock, Crownpoint and
Vasquez projects for permitting and land holding costs are expected to total
$1,300,000 for the remainder of 1996.  Approximately $746,000 was incurred on
these properties during the first half of 1996.  The funding of these 1996
capital costs is expected to result from the operating cash flows generated
from sales made under the Company's existing sales contracts.

     Long-term capital requirements for these projects are expected to be met
through future sales proceeds from current and additional uranium delivery
contracts and through future sources of debt and/or equity financing.
Long-term operating and capital needs are expected to be satisfied through
future sales proceeds from current and additional uranium delivery commitments
and through additional financing and/or equity sources.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1995 $621,000 in development
expenditures were incurred at the Company's Rosita property.  Capital
expenditures at the Company's other properties in the same period totaled
approximately $454,000.

Financing Cash Flows

     In the first six months of 1996 the Company received $4.0 million in
proceeds from a one-year note entered into with the Lindner Dividend Fund.  The
terms of the note provide for the payment of both the principal and accrued
interest by June 1997.  Interest on the note accrues at a rate of 6.5% per
annum.

     Also, during May 1996 the Company entered into a $3.0 million revolving
credit facility.  This facility is secured by the Company's receivables from
its uranium sales contracts with interest on the loan accruing at the prime
rate plus 1%.  Principal and interest payments under the loan are due monthly.
In the second quarter of 1996 advances under this facility amounted to
$2,235,000.  During the first six months of 1996 the Company generated $441,000
from issuance of approximately 119,000 shares of common stock upon the exercise
of certain stock options.

     In the first half of 1995, net cash from financing activities totaled
approximately $70,000.  This increase was a result of the receipt of $6.0
million in proceeds received under the $6.0 million convertible loan made to
the Company in May 1995 by Lindner Investments and Lindner Dividend Fund, Inc.,
the receipt of $135,000 from other borrowings and the receipt of $277,000 from
the issuance of approximately 130,000 shares of common stock associated with
the exercise of certain employee stock options.  These inflows from financing
activities for the first six months of 1995 were offset by payments of
principal and interest under the UBS note of approximately $6,339,000.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS

     The Company utilizes in situ leach ("ISL") solution mining technology as
its only mining method.  Unlike conventional uranium mining companies, the
Company's mining technology does not create "tailings".  Nevertheless, the
Company is highly regulated.  Its primary environmental costs to date have been
related to obtaining and complying with environmental mining permits and, once
mining is completed, the reclamation and restoration of the surface areas and
underground water quality to a condition consistent with applicable
requirements.  Accruals for the estimated future cost of such activities are
made on a per-pound basis as part of production costs.  See also Note 1 -
"Restoration and Reclamation Costs" of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in the Company's Form 10-K/A as of December 31, 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Revenues, earnings from operations and net income for the Company can
fluctuate significantly on a quarter to quarter basis during the year because
of the timing of deliveries requested by its utility customers.  The Company's
customers have generally elected, where possible, to take delivery of the bulk
of the annual deliveries under their long-

                                       8

term sales contracts later in each year.  Accordingly, operating results for
any quarter or year-to-date period are not necessarily comparable and may not
be indicative of the results which may be expected for future quarters or the
entire year.

Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

     The following is a summary of the key operational and financial statistics

</TABLE>

     Revenue from uranium sales in the quarter ended June 30, 1996 increased
slightly from that experienced in the second quarter of 1995.  The increase was
a result of a moderate increase in deliveries made in the second quarter of
1996 offset by lower average sales prices for the quarter.

     Revenue from uranium sales in the first half of 1996 increased by
$1,281,000 from 1995 levels. This increase was primarily a result of higher
deliveries in the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in
the previous year.  Total uranium deliveries in the first six months of 1996
increased by 118,000 pounds from those made in the same period for 1995. The
increased sales in the first half of 1996 were derived from higher volumes of
deliveries sold under short-term or spot sales, (320,000 pounds delivered in
1996 compared to 137,000 in 1995) but these increased spot sales were offset by
lower sales made in 1996 under the Company's long-term contracts (170,000 lbs.
in 1996 versus 234,000 in 1995).  The average sales price for the short-term
and spot sales in 1996 was $14.24 compared to spot sales in 1995 with an
average price of $12.00 per pound.  Sales prices for deliveries made under the
Company's long-term contracts declined in 1996 from prior year levels.  The
average sales price for such deliveries in the first six months of this year
was $18.97 compared to $20.67 for the first half of 1995.  The sales made in
the second quarter of 1995 included a delivery of approximately 55,000 pounds
at $27.80 per pound and represented the final delivery scheduled under a
long-term contract.  Changes in the market price of uranium can result in a
significant impact of the Company's results of operations.

   Details of the cost of uranium sales were as follows:

     The Company produced approximately 137,000 pounds from its Rosita facility
in the second quarter of 1996 bringing production for 1996 at this site to
323,000 pounds.  Rosita production for the first six months of this year has
been below the one million pound annual pace the Company had previously
expected.  The transition from Rosita's very productive wellfield 3 to
subsequent wellfields has yielded lower production from these wellfields to
date but the Company estimates that the total pounds to be recovered from these
wellfields will equal previous projections but over

                                       9


<PAGE>   10


a slightly longer production schedule.  The Company resumed production at its
Kingsville Dome facility in April, 1996 and produced over 291,000 pounds in the
second quarter of 1996 which was ahead of the production pace estimated for
this site.  Production costs at Kingsville Dome for the six months ended June
30, 1996 were in the $11-$12 per pound range which is consistent with the costs
that were originally projected for this project.  The combined production from
Rosita and Kingsville Dome is expected to yield between 1.5 and 1.6 million
pounds in 1996.

     Operating expenses attributable directly to the sale of the Company's
produced pounds totaled $1,578,000 in the first six months of 1996.
Essentially no produced pounds were sold in the same period in 1995.  Total
operating expenses and depreciation and depletion in the first six months of
1996 and 1995 include standby costs for the Kingsville Dome and Rosita
facilities.  These costs have been recorded as direct charges to operations.
Standby costs for 1996 and 1995 were $313,000 and $473,000, respectively. The
provision for restoration and reclamation in the first six months of 1996
consists entirely of the provision for Rosita production sold of $299,000
($0.93 per pound) and for Kingsville Dome production sold of $114,000 ($0.95
per pound).  The depreciation and depletion provision in the first six months
of 1996 consisted of the $4.80 rate per pound for Rosita production sold of
$1,541,000, the $7.29 rate per pound for Kingsville Dome production sold of
$873,000 and Kingsville Dome depreciation while on standby of $21,000.  The
first six months of 1995 provision for depreciation and depletion is comprised
entirely of Rosita and Kingsville Dome depreciation while on standby of
$83,000.

     Royalties in the first six months of 1996 totaled $435,000.  Essentially
no royalties were incurred in 1995.  The increase in 1996 is directly
attributable to the resumption of production at Rosita and Kingsville Dome and
the corresponding sales of produced uranium.

     The average cost of uranium purchases made in the first six months of 1996
was $12.01 per pound.  Deliveries in 1996 consisted of 49,000 purchased pounds,
at an average cost per pound of $12.01, and 441,000 produced pounds at $9.97
per pound.  During the first six months of 1995, the Company delivered 367,000
purchased pounds at an average cost per pound of $9.25.

     Corporate expenses consisting of general and administrative ("G & A")
expenses decreased to $1,527,000 in the first six months of 1996 from
$1,677,000 in the first six months of 1995. This decrease resulted primarily
from legal and accounting fees and other non-recurring expenses relating to the
Lindner financing in 1995.

     Income from operations in the first six months of 1996 was $486,000
compared to a loss in the first six months of 1995 of $994,000.  This change
was attributable to the losses from the termination of the joint venture
($1,001,000) and loss on unauthorized transfers ($780,000) made in 1995.

     Total interest costs for the first six months of 1996, including
capitalized amounts, decreased by $73,000 compared to 1995.  This decrease to
$242,000 from $315,000 in 1995 resulted from lower average outstanding debt
balances related primarily to the bank debt with Union Bank of Switzerland in
1995.
