REPORTING ENTITY AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Energy Fuels Inc is incorporated in the Province of Ontario. Energy Fuels Inc.’s registered and head office is located at 2 Toronto Street, Suite 500, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5C 2B6 and its principal place of business and the head office of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries is located at 225 Union Blvd., Suite 600, Lakewood, Colorado USA, 80228.

Energy Fuels Inc. and its subsidiary companies (collectively, the “Company” or “EFI”) are engaged in uranium mining and related activities, including acquisition, exploration and development of uranium and vanadium bearing properties, and extraction, processing and selling of uranium and vanadium.

Uranium, the Company’s primary product, is produced in the form of uranium oxide concentrates (“U3O8”) and sold to customers for further processing. Vanadium, a co-product of some of the Company’s mines, is also produced and is in the form of vanadium pentoxide (“V2O5”). The Company also processes uranium bearing waste materials, referred to as “alternate feed materials”.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Statement of Compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and IFRS Interpretations Committee. They do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended December 31, 2014. Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes to the Company’s financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on August 6, 2015.

Transition to U.S. GAAP

In 2013 the Company listed its shares on the NYSE MKT, and accordingly registered its securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). This registration subjected the Company to ongoing reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. Under the multijurisdictional disclosure system, Canadian issuers that meet the definition of ‘foreign private issuer’ under the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) are permitted to use Canadian disclosure documents to largely satisfy their reporting requirements with the SEC. The Company satisfied the requirements for “foreign private issuer” status until June 30, 2015, at which time the acquisition of Uranerz Energy Corporation (note 5) caused the Company to have more than 50% of its outstanding voting securities of record held either directly or indirectly by residents of the United States.

As a result of the Company ceasing to qualify as a ‘foreign private issuer’, the Company will need to comply with the U. S. domestic issuer reporting regime under the Exchange Act effective as of January 1, 2016. As a U.S. domestic issuer, the Company will be required to file an annual report on Form 10-K covering Fiscal 2015. The Company will also, as of January 1, 2016, be required to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act and to comply with the SEC proxy rules under Section 14 of the Exchange Act and file an associated proxy statement for its Fiscal 2016 annual general meeting.

U.S. domestic issuers are required to prepare their financial statements that are included in SEC filings in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and report in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K must contain audited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP covering the fiscal year (and must recast prior financial statements and selected financial data from IFRS into U.S. GAAP for all periods required to be presented in the financial statements). The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statements of the conversion to U.S. GAAP.

Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2014 except for as summarized below.

3.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies applied by the Company in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2014 except for as summarized below.

New accounting standards adopted during the current period

The Company has adopted the following new standards, including any consequential amendments to other standards, with a date of initial application of January 1, 2015.

Employee benefits - Share-based payment transactions

Restricted share units (“RSUs”) (equity settled)

The Company uses a fair value-based method of accounting for RSUs granted to employees and directors of the Company. Each RSU has the same value as one common share of the Company based on the five day volume weighted average trading price. For awards with graded vesting, the fair value of each tranche, adjusted for expected forfeitures, is recognized over its respective vesting period as share-based compensation expense in the contributed surplus account.

Financial instruments

Derivative liability

Derivative liabilities include derivative financial instruments and are classified as fair value through profit and loss.

4.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy establishes the significance of the inputs used in making fair value measurements. The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities included in Level 1 are determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities in Level 2 include valuations using inputs based on observable market data, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices. Level 3 valuations are based on inputs that are not based on observable market data. The Company has no financial instruments measured at fair value categorized in Level 3 (valuation technique using non-observable market inputs) as at June 30, 2015.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
(Unaudited)
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except share and per share amounts)
 

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include:

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Marketable securities   188     -     -     188  
Derivative liability   -     (895 )   -     (895 )
Convertible debentures   (15,520 )   -     -     (15,520 )
                                                              $  (15,332 ) $  (895 ) $  -   $  (16,227 )

As at June 30, 2015, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term deposits, receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and loans and borrowings approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

5.

ACQUISITION OF URANERZ ENERGY CORPORATION.

On June 18, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of Uranerz Energy Corporation (“Uranerz”). Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, shareholders of Uranerz received 0.255 common shares of the Company for each share of Uranerz common stock held. Each outstanding Uranerz option or warrant was converted into an option or warrant (as applicable) to acquire common shares of the Company, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the stock option or warrant (as applicable) prior to the acquisition, except that the number of shares subject to the option or warrant and the exercise price of the option or warrant were adjusted based on the exchange ratio of 0.255, so as to preserve the economic value of such options or warrants. The costs of the transaction were $6,487 and are expensed in other income (expense) and are comprised of cash costs of $2,559 and the issuance of 889,436 EFI common shares for a total share value of $3,928 for advisory fees and to settle a portion of required change in control payments.

Uranerz, now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a United States based uranium company focused on commercial in-situ recovery (“ISR”) uranium exploration, extraction and sales. ISR is a uranium extraction process that uses a “leaching solution” to extract uranium from underground sandstone-hosted uranium deposits. Uranerz controls a large strategic land position in the central Powder River Basin, where it operates the Nichols Ranch ISR Uranium Project (“Nichols Ranch”). The acquisition of Uranerz provides the Company with current ISR production and the capability to expand ISR production in the future.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under IFRS with EFI deemed to be the acquirer, owing to the fact that post-transaction, Energy Fuels continues to control the board of directors and senior management positions, and has overall control of the day-to-day activities of the combined entities. In accordance with IFRS, the accounting for the acquisition has been done on a preliminary basis taking into account the information available at the time these consolidated financial statements were prepared.

The purchase price allocation is preliminary and is therefore subject to further adjustments prior to the end of the second quarter of 2016 for the completion of the valuation process of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Final valuations of the assets and liabilities are not yet complete due to the timing of the acquisition and complexities inherent in the valuation process and may differ materially from the amounts disclosed. Operations from June 18, 2015 are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

The fair value consideration was based on the $4.16 common share price of the EFI common shares issued on June 18, 2015.

The following table sets forth the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to assets and liabilities acquired:

       
       
Purchase price      
         Issuance of 24,457,773 common shares for replacement of Uranerz common shares $  101,744  
         Issuance of 2,690,250 warrants for replacement of Uranerz warrants   915  
         Issuance of 2,040,408 options for replacement of Uranerz share based options   3,681  
  $  106,340  
Uranerz purchase price allocation      
         Cash and cash equivalents $  2,459  
         Inventories   3,742  
         Prepaid expenses and other assets   402  
         Property, plant and equipment (4)   59,723  
         Intangible assets - customer contracts   10,600  
         Restricted cash (1)   2,100  
         Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   (2,280 )
         Loans and borrowings   (18,813 )
         Decommissioning liabilities   (2,321 )
         Non-controlling interest (3)   (3,983 )
         Goodwill (2)   54,711  
Total purchase price $  106,340  

  (1)

Cash, cash equivalents and fixed income securities posted as collateral for various bonds with state and federal regulatory agencies for estimated reclamation costs associated with the decommissioning liability of Nichols Ranch.

     
  (2)

The Acquisition of Uranerz resulted in Goodwill of $54,711 which arose principally because of the potential for significant cost savings and synergies with additional potential for other operating efficiencies and the optionality resulting from potential changes in overall economics from changes in the uranium price.

     
  (3)

The non-controlling interest pertains to Uranerz’ 81% owned Arkose Joint Venture (“Arkose”). Arkose owns exploration assets in the vicinity of Nichols Ranch. These assets as well as Uranerz’ other exploration assets were valued using the precedent transactions method.

     
  (4)

The Nichols Ranch property, plant and equipment was valued using a depreciated replacement cost and the mineral properties were valued using a discounted cash flow approach based on the life of mine. Key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis include discount rates, uranium resources, future timing of production, recovery rates, and future capital and operating costs. The Company’s estimate of the future uranium sales prices was based on the uranium prices prepared by industry analysts. Management estimated a uranium price of $37.50/lb for the period up to December 31, 2015, a price range of $41.25/lb to $60.00/lb for the period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020 and a price range of $65.00 after January 1, 2021. The Company used a discount rate of 8% for the discounted cash flow analysis. Exploration properties were valued using a precedent transactions analysis based on market data of previous acquisitions on a price per pound of uranium mineralized material or price per acre of land.

Pro forma information

Pro forma results of operations have been prepared as if the Uranerz acquisition had occurred at January 1, 2015. The pro forma consolidated financial statement information is not intended to be indicative of the results that would actually have occurred, or the results expected in future periods, had the events reflected herein occurred on the dates indicated. Any potential synergies that may be realized and integration costs that may be incurred have been excluded from the pro forma financial statement information.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, pro forma consolidated revenue and net loss is $34,305 and ($11,014), and $27,505 and ($3,740) respectively. Included in pro forma net loss is a total of $6,487 of acquisition costs incurred in connection with the acquisition which included 889,436 of common shares of the Company issued for advisory fees and to satisfy a portion of required change in control payments.

   Non-current   16,195     15,170  
    17,337     15,291  

  (1)

The revision of estimate resulted from a change in assumptions and scope of work as well as changes in the risk-free discount rates used to calculate decommissioning liabilities. Subsequent changes to the decommissioning liabilities for fully impaired assets are recorded in profit and loss.

The decommissioning and reclamation of the White Mesa mill and U.S. mines are subject to legal and regulatory requirements. Estimates of the costs of reclamation are reviewed periodically by the applicable regulatory authorities. The above accrual represents the Company’s best estimate of the present value of future reclamation costs, discounted using risk-free interest rates ranging from 0.28% to 3.11% based on US Treasury rates of varying lengths ranging from 1 to 30 years. The total undiscounted decommissioning liability as at June 30, 2015 is $31,269 (December 31, 2014 - $26,725). Reclamation costs are expected to be incurred between 2015 and 2041 in the following manner: 2015 – 2019 - $3,163, 2020 – 2024 - $2,570, 2025 – 2035 - $3,862, 2036 – 2041 - $21,674.

The Company has cash, cash equivalents and fixed income securities as collateral for various bonds posted in favour of the State of Utah, the applicable state regulatory agencies in Colorado and Arizona and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management for estimated reclamation costs associated with the White Mesa mill and mining properties. Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The restricted cash will be released when the Company has reclaimed a mineral property. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company had net refunds and returns of $5,267 from its collateral account (December 31, 2014 -$9,330) primarily as a result of the restructuring of the Company’s surety arrangements and the reduction of bonding requirements at some of the Company’s projects.

On July 24, 2012, the Company completed a bought deal public offering of 22,000 floating-rate convertible unsecured subordinated debentures maturing June 30, 2017 (the “Debentures”). The Debentures were issued at a price of Cdn$1 per Debenture for gross proceeds of $21,551 (the “Offering”). The Debentures are convertible into common shares at the option of the holder at a conversion price of Cdn$15.00 per common share. Interest is paid in cash and in addition, unless an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Company may elect, from time to time, subject to applicable regulatory approval, to satisfy its obligation to pay interest on the Debentures, on the date it is payable under the indenture (i) in cash; (ii) by delivering sufficient common shares to the debenture trustee, for sale, to satisfy the interest obligations in accordance with the indenture in which event holders of the Debentures will be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the proceeds of the sale of such common shares; or (iii) any combination of (i) and (ii).

The Debentures accrue interest, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year at a fluctuating rate, of not less than 8.5% and not more than 13.5%, indexed to the simple average spot price of uranium as reported on the Ux Weekly Indicator Price. Interest can be paid in cash or issuance of the Company’s common shares. The Debentures may be redeemed in whole or part, at par plus accrued interest and unpaid interest by the Company between June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2017 subject to certain terms and conditions, provided the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares of the Company on the TSX during the 20 consecutive trading days ending five days preceding the date on which the notice of redemption is given is not less than 125% of the conversion price.

Upon redemption or at maturity, the Company will repay the indebtedness represented by the Debentures by paying to the debenture trustee in Canadian dollars an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures which are to be redeemed or which have matured, as applicable, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

Subject to any required regulatory approval and provided no event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Company has the option to satisfy its obligation to repay the Cdn$1 principal amount of the Debentures, in whole or in part, due at redemption or maturity, upon at least 40 days’ and not more than 60 days’ prior notice, by delivering that number of common shares obtained by dividing the Cdn$1 principal amount of the Debentures maturing or to be redeemed as applicable, by 95% of the volume-weighted average trading price of the common shares on the TSX during the 20 consecutive trading days ending five trading days preceding the date fixed for redemption or the maturity date, as the case may be. The debentures are classified as fair value through profit or loss where the debentures are measured at fair value based on the closing price on the TSX and changes are recognized in profit and loss. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 the Company recorded a loss on revaluation of convertible debentures of $890 (June 30, 2014 - $1,914).

  (2)

In February 2015 the Company issued a secured note in the amount of $446 for a 50% interest in a joint operation with an effective interest rate of 7%. The remaining balance of the note is repayable on the following schedule: February 13, 2016 ($250), and February 13, 2017 ($250). This note is secured by the 50% interest in the joint operation. The current portion of this note is $250.

     
  (3)

The Company through its acquisition of Uranerz assumed an $18,813 loan through the Wyoming Industrial Development Revenue Bond program (the "Loan"). The Loan has an annual interest rate of 5.75% and is repayable over seven years, maturing on October 15, 2020. The Loan originated on December 3, 2013 and called for the payment of interest only for the first year, with the amortization of principal plus interest over the remaining six years. The Loan can be repaid earlier than its maturity date if the Company so chooses without penalty or premium. The Loan is secured by a charge on most of the assets of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Uranerz, including mineral properties, the processing facility, and equipment as well as an assignment of all of Uranerz’ rights, title and interest in and to its product sales contracts and other agreements. Uranerz is also subject to dividend restrictions. Principal and interest are paid on a quarterly basis on the first day of January, April, July and October. The current portion of the note is $3,227.

The Company has established a stock option plan whereby the Board of Directors may grant options to employees, directors and consultants to purchase common shares of the Company. The maximum number of authorized but unissued shares available to be granted under the plan shall not exceed 10% of its issued and outstanding common shares. The exercise price of the options is set at the Company’s closing share price on the day before the grant date.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company granted 133,150 stock options (December 31, 2014 – 307,250) with a fair value of $317 to its employees, directors and consultants recording stock-based compensation and recorded an expense of $212. These options were granted with the following vesting conditions: 50% - immediately, 25% - one year after grant date, 25% - two years after grant date. The fair value of stock options granted to employees, directors and consultants was estimated on the dates of the grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used for the grants made during the six months ended June 30, 2015:

  Risk-free rate 0.87%
  Expected life 5.0 years
  Expected volatility 75.1%*
  Expected dividend yield 0.0%*

* Expected volatility is measured based on the Company’s historical share price volatility over a period equivalent to the expected life of the options.

The fair value of stock options granted to employees, directors and consultants was estimated on the closing date of the transaction using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:


  Risk-free rate 0.0% to 2.35%
  Expected life 0.05 years to 10 years
  Expected volatility 18.47 to 93.31%*
  Expected dividend yield 0.0%*

  * Expected volatility is measured based on the Company’s historical share price volatility over a period equivalent to the expected life of the options.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General legal matters

In November, 2012, the Company was served with a Plaintiff’s Original Petition and Jury Demand in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, claiming unspecified damages from the disease and injuries resulting from mesothelioma from exposure to asbestos, which the Plaintiff claims was contributed to by being exposed to asbestos products and dust while working at the White Mesa Mill. The Company does not consider this claim to have any merit, and therefore does not believe it will materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In January, 2013, the Company filed a Special Appearance challenging jurisdiction and certain other procedural matters relating to this claim.

In January, 2013, the Ute Mountain Ute tribe filed a Petition to Intervene and Request for Agency Action challenging the Corrective Action Plan approved by the State of Utah Department of Environmental Quality (“UDEQ”) relating to nitrate contamination in the shallow aquifer at the White Mesa Mill site. This challenge is currently being evaluated, and may involve the appointment of an administrative law judge to hear the matter. The Company does not consider this action to have any merit. If the petition is successful, the likely outcome would be a requirement to modify or replace the existing Corrective Action Plan. At this time, the Company does not believe any such modification or replacement would materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the scope and costs of remediation under a revised or replacement Corrective Action Plan have not yet been determined and could be significant.

In April 2014, the Grand Canyon Trust filed a citizen suit in federal district court for alleged violations of the Clean Air Act at the White Mesa Mill. In October 2014, the plaintiffs were granted leave by the court to add further purported violations to their April 2014 suit. The Complaint, as amended, alleges that radon from one of the Mill’s tailings impoundments exceeded the standard; that the mill is in violation of a requirement that only two tailings impoundments may be in operation at any one time; and that certain other violations related to the manner of measuring and reporting radon results from one of the tailings impoundments occurred in 2013. The Complaint asks the court to impose injunctive relief, civil penalties of up to $38,000 per day per violation, costs of litigation including attorneys’ fees, and other relief. The Company believes the issues raised in the Complaint are being addressed through the proper regulatory channels and that the Company is currently in compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements relating to those matters. The Company intends to defend against all issues raised in the Complaint.

In March, 2013, the Center for Biological Diversity, the Grand Canyon Trust, the Sierra Club and the Havasupai Tribe (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona (the “District Court”) against the Forest Supervisor for the Kaibab National Forest and the U.S. Forest Service (the “USFS” and together with the Forest Supervisor the “Defendants”) seeking an order (a) declaring that the USFS failed to comply with environmental, mining, public land, and historic preservation laws in relation to the Company’s Canyon mine, (b) setting aside any approvals regarding exploration and mining operations at the Canyon mine, and (c) directing operations to cease at the mine and enjoining the USFS from allowing any further exploration or mining-related activities at the Canyon mine until the USFS fully complies with all applicable laws. In April 2013, the Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Preliminary Injunction, which was denied by the District Court in September, 2013. On April 7, 2015, the District Court issued its final ruling on the merits in favor of the Defendants and the Company and against the Plaintiffs on all counts. The Plaintiffs appealed the District Court’s ruling on the merits to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and filed motions for an injunction pending appeal with the District Court. Those motions for an injunction pending appeal were denied by the District Court on May 26, 2015. Thereafter, Plaintiffs filed urgent motions for an injunction pending appeal with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which were denied on June 30, 2015. Briefing on the appeal on the merits is ongoing. If the Plaintiffs are successful on their appeal on the merits, the Company may be required to place the mine on standby pending resolution of the matter. Such a required prolonged stoppage of mine development and mining activities could have a significant impact on future operations of the Company.

Commencing in January 2015, the Company and Uranerz, as well as the former directors of Uranerz, were named as defendants in a number of shareholder class action suits in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada and the District Court of Washoe County, Nevada. These suits generally allege claims for breach of fiduciary duty and related claims regarding the acquisition of Uranerz by the Company (the “Acquisition”). Plaintiffs seek, among other things, rescission of the Acquisition, attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company, Uranerz and its former directors deny all allegations and consider these allegations to be without merit. However, to avoid the substantial burden, expense, risk, inconvenience and distraction of continued litigation, in June 2015, the Company, Uranerz and its former directors entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the Plaintiffs in the Clark County litigation regarding the settlement of this litigation. The MOU outlines the terms of the parties’ agreement in principal to settle and release all claims that were or could have been asserted in the consolidated action. In consideration for such settlement and release, on June 10, 2015, Uranerz provided certain additional disclosures to those contained in its definitive proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Acquisition. The proposed settlement contemplated in the MOU is conditioned upon, among other things, execution of an appropriate stipulation of settlement and final approval by the Court, which is expected to include an award of Plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and expenses as part of the settlement. The Washoe County litigation has been stayed pending court approval of the proposed settlement in Clark County. The Company does not expect that the terms of any settlement will be material to the Company. Although the Company has no reason to expect that this matter will not be fully settled in accordance with the MOU, there can be no assurance at this time of entering into a stipulation or Court approval of such stipulation.

Mineral property commitments

The Company enters into commitments with federal and state agencies and private individuals to lease mineral rights. These leases are renewable annually and are expected to total $2,553 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Acquisition of mineral interests

On July 31, 2015 the Company acquired mineral properties adjacent to its Roca Honda Project from Uranium Resources, Inc. (“URI”). The Acquired Properties, which total approximately 4,580 acres (1,854 hectares), include fee mineral ownership of 640-acres (“Section 17”), fee ownership of 36 unpatented lode mining claims and a leasehold interest in 131 unpatented lode mining claims. As consideration for acquiring the Acquired Properties, the Company has delivered to URI $2,500, $375 of Energy Fuels common shares, the royalty held by the Company on certain properties included within later phases of Peninsula Energy’s Lance Uranium Project in Wyoming, unpatented lode mining claims adjacent to URI’s Church Rock Project and a 4% gross royalty on Section 17, which can be repurchased by Energy Fuels upon payment to URI of $5,000 cash at any time in the Company’s sole discretion prior to the date on which the first royalty becomes due.
