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 unaudited financial statements included in the Company's 1999 Annual
Report on Form 10-K. As a result of the Company not having an audit performed on
its December 31, 1999 financial statements, the financial statements contained
in this report have not been reviewed by the Company's independent public
accountants. 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 three months ended March 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full calendar
year ending December 31, 2000.

2. FUTURE OPERATIONS

         The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the basis
of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course
of business. Due to a continued period of depressed prices for uranium as
compared to the Company's cost to produce uranium, the Company has generated
operating losses in each of the last three years. Operating losses have
continued during the first quarter of 2000. Such price declines have reduced the
market price of uranium to levels that are currently below the Company's cost to
produce uranium and below levels needed by the Company to obtain the necessary
financing to allow development of new production areas at its South Texas sites.
These factors raise substantial doubt concerning the ability of the Company to
continue operating as a going concern.

         In 1999 and the first quarter of 2000 the Company monetized all of its
remaining long-term uranium sales contracts and sold certain of its property and
equipment to maintain a positive cash position. The Company has exhausted all of
its available sources of cash to support continuing operations and will be
unable to continue in business beyond June 2000 unless it can secure a cash
infusion. If the Company is unable to secure such a cash infusion, it will
consider all of its possible alternatives, including a possible filing in
bankruptcy.

         During the fourth quarter of 1998 the Company began implementation of
the shut-in and placement on stand-by of its Kingsville Dome and Rosita
production facilities in response to these market conditions. Each production
site was shut-in in the first quarter of 1999 but the Company maintained nominal
production through July 1999 when the incremental production cost of operating
exceeded the cost of purchasing uranium on the spot market.

         The Company will also require additional capital resources to fund the
cost to resume production and to fund development of its undeveloped properties.
There is no assurance the Company will be successful in raising such capital or
that uranium prices will recover to levels which would enable the Company to
operate profitably. If the Company is unsuccessful in these efforts the Company
will cease to continue as a going concern.

         The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and
classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to
continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern is dependent upon a recovery of uranium prices, its ability to restart
its uranium production facilities and successfully produce uranium at
economically feasible levels and its ability to successfully raise capital to
support ongoing operations and future development efforts.

3. LONG-TERM DEBT/SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY

LINDNER NOTE CONVERSION

         In February 2000, the Company converted $6,000,000 in debt and $344,000
in accrued interest into 2,111,478 shares of the Company's common stock related
to the convertible note issued in May 1995 from Lindner Investments and Lindner
Dividend Fund (the "Lindner Note"). In connection with the Lindner Note, the
Company issued warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's
common stock at $3.00 per share. Such warrants expire on May 31, 2000.

CAPITALIZED INTEREST

         Interest capitalized in the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
was $61,000 and $147,000, respectively. Total interest costs in these periods
were $100,000 and $186,000, respectively.

4. URANIUM PROPERTIES

PROPERTY REALIZABILITY

         The Company's near-term potential illiquidity has necessitated a
reevaluation of the Company's method of valuing its uranium properties for
accounting purposes as of December 31, 1999 and March 31, 2000. Prior to the
fourth quarter of 1999, the Company had previously valued its uranium properties
on a held for production basis, i.e., assuming that each property would be
ultimately placed into production. Because of the Company's potential
illiquidity, the Company has determined that it should value these properties on
a held for sale basis.

         On a held for sale basis the Company has determined that the discounted
cash flow method is the most reasonable method for valuing the properties,
because of the lack of any data on sales of comparable properties or any other
method that is reasonably available. For the three months ended March 31, 2000
this valuation method had the effect of expensing the capital costs incurred on
the Company's uranium properties. Such costs totaled $202,000 during the
quarter.

CROWNPOINT UNIT I PROPERTY

         The Company had mineral leases on nine separate parcels of land in
northwest New Mexico with Navajo allotees who are the beneficial owners of the
surface and mineral rights. The leases have been and are subject to approval by
the Bureau of Indian Affairs (the "BIA"). Such approval had not been received at
December 31, 1999 and the Company requested the return of escrowed funds for six
of the Unit I leases which require additional efforts to complete the leasing
process. In March 2000, the Company received funds totaling $440,000 related to
these six leases. This transaction resulted in the writedown of the carrying
value of the Company's uranium properties of $440,000 in the first quarter of
2000.

GOING CONCERN/UNCERTAIN FUTURE OPERATIONS

         The Company ceased production activities in 1999 at both of its two
producing properties because of depressed uranium prices. In 1999 and the first
quarter of 2000 the Company monetized all of its remaining long-term uranium
sales contracts and sold certain of its property and equipment to maintain a
positive cash position. The Company has exhausted all of its available sources
of cash to support continuing operations and will be unable to continue in
business beyond June 2000 unless it can secure a cash infusion. If the Company
is unable to secure such a cash infusion, it will consider all of its possible
alternatives, including a possible filing in bankruptcy.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Operating Cash Flows and Liquidity

         For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company's cash and cash
equivalents were $845,000 an increase of $352,000 as compared to a decrease of
$3,044,000 for the first quarter of 1999. The Company's uranium operations
provided cash flow from operations of $685,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
2000, in comparison to cash flow used in operations in the same period in 1999
of $1,109,000. The Company's net working capital at March 31, 2000 was $337,000.

         As a result of the volatility of spot prices in the uranium
marketplace, the Company shut-in and placed on stand-by its two South Texas
facilities in the first quarter of 1999. Nominal production from these sites
continued through July 1999 until their incremental production costs exceeded
the cost of purchasing uranium in the marketplace. The Company continues to
maintain certain activities at these locations including its ongoing groundwater
restoration efforts.

Investing Cash Flows

         South Texas Projects

         During the three months ending March 31, 2000, development expenditures
at the Company's South Texas locations totaled $84,000. Capital expenditures in
2000 for these properties is expected to be minimal. The Company will require
additional sources of funding in 2000 to fund its operating activities including
those at the Kingsville Dome and Rosita locations.

         New Mexico Projects

         Capital expenditures at the Company's Churchrock and Crownpoint
projects for permitting and land holding costs totaled approximately $112,000
for the three months ending March 31, 2000 compared to costs of $530,000 for the
first quarter of 1999. Capital expenditures in 2000 for these properties is
expected to be minimal. In March 2000, the Company received $440,000 in escrowed
funds related to certain of the Company's Crownpoint Unit I properties.

Financing Cash Flows

         In July 1999, the Company extended its revolving credit facility
through July 2000. This facility is secured by the Company's uranium inventory
and/or by receivables from its uranium sales contracts. Principal and interest
payments under the loan are due monthly, with interest on the loan accruing at
the prime rate plus 1%. Principal advances, outstanding under the facility
totaled $575,000 at December 31, 1999 and such amount was repaid in the first
quarter of 2000. At March 31, 2000, the Company had monetized all of its uranium
sales contracts and uranium inventories. Without these underlying assets the
Company is unable to draw on the credit facility or utilize it as a source of
working capital.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS

         The Company utilizes 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 the Consolidated Statements of Operations for
the applicable provisions for such future costs. See also Note 1 - "Restoration
and Reclamation Costs" of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the
Company's Form 10-K as of December 31, 1999.

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. 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 for the entire year.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999

         The following is a summary of the key operational and financial
statistics related to the Results of Operations:

(a) Production costs 1999 exclude approximately $273,000 in fixed "stand-by"
costs incurred at the South Texas sites related to the transition from an
operating to a stand-by mode in the first quarter of 1999. The incremental cash
cost of production (costs incurred in addition to those required to maintain the
projects while in a stand-by mode) in the first quarter was approximately $8.90
per pound.

(b) The Company ceased uranium production operations in the first quarter of
1999 when its South Texas projects were placed on stand-by. Costs while on
stand-by are expensed to operating expenses as they are incurred. A nominal
amount of production has occurred while the projects have been on stand-by, the
inventory resulting from such incidental production was valued at the spot
market cost.

         The Company delivered 98,000 pounds of uranium in the first quarter of
2000. The Company does not have any remaining deliveries scheduled for the
balance of 2000 or beyond. No uranium deliveries were made in the first quarter
of 1999.

</TABLE>

         The Company placed its South Texas production facilities on stand-by in
the first quarter of 1999 but maintained nominal production until the
incremental cost of production exceeded the cost of purchasing uranium in the
spot market. All production activities ceased in July 1999. Total production in
the first quarter of 1999 was 68,000 pounds. The average per pound production
cost for the first quarter of 1999 was $12.68. Excluded from the 1999 production
costs were approximately $273,000 of stand-by related costs. The incremental
cash cost of production in the first quarter was approximately $8.90 per pound.

         Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2000 resulted from the sale
in uranium inventory ($43,000) and stand-by related costs ($316,000). Operating
expenses in the first quarter of 1999 resulted from a lower of cost or market
adjustment applied to the Company's inventory at March 31, 1999. The carrying
value of its inventory at March 31, 1999 was $13.01.

         The provision for restoration and reclamation in the first three months
ended March 31, 2000 was $12,000, compared to $20,000 for 1999.

         The depreciation and depletion provision in the quarter ended March 31,
2000 was $111,000 compared to $23,000 in the first quarter of 1999.

         The Company incurred royalties from production sold in the first
quarter of 2000 of $17,000. No royalty expense was incurred in the first quarter
of 1999.

         Uranium purchases were made in the first quarter of 2000 at $9.41 per
pound. No such purchases were made in the same quarter ended March 31, 1999

         Corporate expenses consisting of general and administrative ("G&A")
expenses decreased to $457,000 in the first quarter of 2000 from $498,000 in the
first quarter of 1999. The lower G&A costs in 2000 reflect the continued focus
on reducing costs throughout all corporate levels and activities.

YEAR 2000 READINESS

         The Company currently utilizes computer software in the management of
its operations and in accounting for its operating results that could be
affected by the date change in the year 2000 (the "Y2K issue"). All critical
information technology software and systems utilized by the Company has been
purchased from and are supported by third party vendors. The Company has
conducted a review of the potential impact of the year 2000 on such systems, and
concluded that it would not encounter significant operational or financial costs
related to compliance with this issue. The Company did not incur any adverse
impact related to the changeover to the year 2000.
