          all of USE&#8217;s business is conducted through a joint venture with

          died in February 2002 and Mr. Larsen died in September 2006.&#160;&#160;In 1980,
          USE and Crested formed a joint venture (the &#8220;USECC Joint Venture&#8221;, &#8220;USECC&#8221; or
          the &#8220;Joint Venture&#8221;) to do business together unless one or the other elected not
          to pursue a specific project.&#160;&#160;Since 1993, USE has funded
          substantially all of Crested&#8217;s obligations under the USECC Joint Venture because
          Crested has not had the capital to pay its share.&#160;&#160;Historically,
          Crested paid a portion of the advances from USE by issuing its common stock
          to
          USE.&#160;&#160;As of June 30, 2007, Crested owed USE a total of
          $3,250,800.&#160;&#160;As of July 31, 2007, all of this amount was paid by
          Crested to USE with the cash proceeds it received from the sale of uranium
          assets, which Crested had jointly owned with USE.&#160;&#160;For a further

          properties are acquired as part of specific mineral
          projects.&#160;&#160;Properties are initially acquired, financed and operated by
          and through the USECC Joint Venture.&#160;&#160;Management&#8217;s strategy has been,
          and will continue to be, demonstrating prospective value in the properties
          sufficient to support substantial investments by investment groups, financial
          institutions and/or large industry partners, and then bring on long term
          development expertise to move the properties into production.&#160;&#160;Sales
          of the properties or subsidiaries also is a continuing alternative, as
          was
          effected with the 2005 sale of Rocky Mountain Gas, Inc. (&#8220;RMG&#8221;), and as was

          Joint Venture was signed in 1982 and has not been amended since that

          group of assets to a newly formed corporation for equal equity stakes,

          April 3, 2007, signed a formal Exploration, Development and Mine Operating
          Agreement, which replaced the Letter Agreement.&#160;&#160;Kobex has the right
          to acquire an option to purchase up to a 50% interest in the Lucky Jack
          Property.&#160;&#160;The total cost to Kobex, over a period of five years, to
          exercise the full option, will be $50 million in option payments, property
          expenditures, and a bankable feasibility study, plus a differential payment,
          if
          option payments, expenditures and a bankable feasibility study total less
          than
          $50 million.&#160;&#160;At the operation of USE and Crested, Kobex also may
          acquire an additional 15% interest (for a total of 65%) after it has earned
          its
          50% interest. When Kobex has earned 50%, USE and Crested will have the
          right to
          form a joint venture for the property with Kobex.</font></div>

          an ownership of .3% of the USE shares outstanding post merger which is

          percentages are based on the USE shares outstanding at August 21, 2007.
          USE will
          not issue fractional shares; instead, any fractional share will be rounded

              shares of
              Crested for 1 share of USE based on the price per share as computed
              by the

              which was
              recommended by the Special Committees of both companies and ratified
              by the full

              share for
              USE and $2.32 per share for Crested. &#160;The ratio of 2 shares of Crested for
              1 share of USE represented a premium of about 12% in the value of the
              Crested

            properties.&#160;&#160;Crested and USE originally were independent companies,
            with two common affiliates, John L. Larsen and Max T. Evans.&#160;&#160;Mr.
            Evans died in February 2002 and Mr. Larsen died in 2006.&#160;&#160;In 1982,

            time to time, USE has funded many of Crested&#8217;s obligations because Crested did
            not have the funds to pay its share of the obligations.&#160;&#160;Crested has
            paid a portion of this debt by issuing common&#160;stock to USE.&#160;&#160;At
            December 31, 2006, Crested owed $13,277,200 to USE.&#160;&#160;As a result of
            Crested receiving one-half of the proceeds from the sale of the uranium
            properties to Uranium One, Crested paid in full the amount owed to USE
            as of

            molybdenum property to Amax in 1974.&#160;&#160;In the late 1970s, Amax
            delineated a large deposit of molybdenum on the properties, reportedly
            containing approximately 155 million tons of mineralized material averaging
            0.44% molybdenum disulfide (MoS2).&#160;&#160;In 1980, Amax constructed a water
            treatment plant at the Lucky Jack property to treat water flowing from
            old mine
            workings and for potential use in milling operations.&#160;&#160;By 1983, Amax
            had reportedly spent an estimated $150 million in the acquisition of
            the

            mine planning, metallurgical testing and other activities involving the

            Amax.&#160;&#160;PD then acquired the Lucky Jack property project in 1999

            States
            Department of the Interior (&#8220;BLM&#8221;), Amax stated that the size and grade of the
            Mount Emmons deposit was determined to approximate 220 million tons grading
            0.366% molybdenite.&#160;&#160;In a letter dated April 2, 2004, BLM estimated
            that there were about 23 million tons of mineable reserves containing
            0.689%
            molybdenite, and that about 267 million pounds of molybdenum trioxide
            was

            which is only a portion of the total mineral deposit delineated to
            date.&#160;&#160;The BLM relied on&#160;a mineral report prepared by Western
            Mine Engineering (WME) for the U.S. Forest Service, which directed and
            administered the WME contract.&#160;&#160;WME&#8217;s analysis was based upon a price
            of $4.61 per pound for molybdic oxide and was used by BLM in determining
            that&#160;nine claims satisfied the patenting requirement that the mining claims
            contain a valuable mineral that could be mined profitably.&#160;&#160;WME
            consulted a variety of sources in preparation of its report, including
            a study
            prepared in 1990 by American Mine Services, Inc. and a pre-feasibility

            in 1888 with the discovery of placer gold resulting in the El Alamo Gold
            Rush of
            1888.&#160;&#160;Operations quickly went underground as miners followed surface
            outcroppings of quartz veins down to the shallow water table at about
            50
            feet.&#160;&#160;Mining generally ceased in 1905 due to political unrest and the
            lack of infrastructure which would have allowed underground production
            to
            continue below the shallow water table&#160;&#160;Since 1905, there has been
            only limited exploration work conducted in the

            to confirm that all of the requisite steps have been followed for location
            and
            maintenance of a claim.&#160;&#160;If the validity of an unpatented mining claim
            is challenged by the government, the claimant has the burden of proving

            U.S.
            Congress from time to time has considered proposed revisions to the General
            Mining Law,&#160;including as recently as in 2007.&#160;&#160;If these proposed
            revisions were enacted, payment of royalties on production of minerals
            from
            federal lands could be required as well as new requirements for reclamation
            of
            mined land and other environmental control measures and judicial review
            of past
            and future patent decisions could be implemented including review of

            mineral patents by the BLM in respect of the Lucky Jack Project.&#160;&#160;The
            effect of any revision of the General Mining Law on operations cannot
            be
            determined until enactment, however, it is possible that revisions would
            materially increase the carrying and operating costs of mineral properties
            located on federal unpatented mining claims and patented mining claims
            may be
            subject to additional review.</font></div>

                    August
                    7, 2007, the Town of Crested Butte issued a temporary moratorium
                    on development
                    activities within its watershed that were not ongoing at the
                    effective date of
                    the moratorium.&#160;&#160;USE and Crested believe the Lucky Jack Project should
                    not be affected by this moratorium and they are continuing all

                  and the nature of such revisions, are not predicted.&#160;&#160;As a result, it
                  is possible that unexpected delays, and/or increased costs, may

                  in developing a new mine plan for the Lucky Jack
                  property.</font></div>

            located
            in Gillette, Wyoming for $1,268,800.&#160;&#160;The Company and USE closed on

            compared with $32.94 per pound in 2005, $16.41 per pound in 2004, $5.32
            in 2003
            and $3.77 in 2002.&#160;&#160;Continued strong demand has outpaced supply over
            the past several years (deficit market conditions) and has reduced inventory

            per
            pound.</font></div>

            companies.&#160;&#160;If this agreement is closed, Uranium One will buy all the
            uranium assets and take over the Company and USE&#8217;s rights in the UPC purchase
            and mining venture.&#160;&#160;These proceeds will substantially enhance
            liquidity, and with respect to UPC, the receipt of approximately $5 million
            from
            Uranium One for UPC&#8217;s future obligations under its purchase agreement with the
            Company and USE will eliminate the uncertainty associated with UPC making
            those
            payments under the UPC purchase agreement (UPC would be paying Uranium
            One
            following the closing of the asset purchase agreement).&#160;&#160;The value of
            the proceeds is indeterminable as they are based on stock prices that

            fluctuate until closing.</font></div>

            mineral properties in Wyoming is approximately $200,000 per year of which
            UPC is

            exploration and maintenance of the uranium properties in Utah, Colorado
            and
            Arizona.&#160;&#160;The majority of these costs are covered as a result of the

            Resources.&#160;&#160;In the event that the sale of the properties to Uranium
            One is concluded all the costs of maintaining, exploring and developing

            was actively involved in the minerals industry for its own account and
            independent of USE for many years.&#160;&#160;In 1982, following a successful
            sale of the molybdenum properties owned by both USE and Crested to AMAX,
            Inc.,
            the boards of directors of both companies decided to enter into the Joint
            Venture agreement, to allow joint participation in new projects.&#160;&#160;Most
            of the business conducted by the companies has been done under the USECC
            Joint
            Venture.&#160;&#160;For many years, the companies had at least one director in
            common, but each company paid its share of property acquisition and development
            costs as incurred.&#160;&#160;Since 1982, USE and Crested have held interests in
            the same properties and projects.&#160;&#160;By 1993, Crested no longer had the
            capital to pay its share of the obligations under the Joint Venture,
            and USE
            began paying for Crested&#8217;s shortfalls,&#160;and booking a receivable from
            Crested.&#160;&#160;Despite Crested paying substantial portions of the
            receivable by issuing Crested stock to USE, by December 31, 2006, Crested
            owed
            USE more than $13 million.&#160;&#160;Crested has not had any officers who are
            independent of USE for the past 15 years, and had no directors independent
            of
            USE from 2002 until two independent directors were appointed in connection
            with
            the merger negotiations.</font></div>

            time
            to time since 2004, the management of USE and Crested have informally
            discussed
            the potential benefits to USE and Crested shareholders of merging Crested
            into
            USE, but these discussions never yielded any agreement on the terms of
            a
            possible transaction, and no offers were communicated from USE to
            Crested.&#160;&#160;As a result of the formal discussions relating to the
            potential merger, Crested asked two former independent board members
            to serve on
            the board of directors of Crested and also as the Special Committee members
            for
            the merger negotiations.&#160;&#160;Both prior board members accepted and

            December 4, 2006 of a 3% premium to stock prices as such offer was not
            consistent with the ranges of premium paid in comparable deals (comparable

            been quantified by Navigant Capital in its preliminary evaluations, including
            Crested&#8217;s lack of trading liquidity, absence of a stand alone business plan,
            dependence on USE employees, and its complete reliance on interest-free
            capital
            from USE for many years to stay in business.&#160;&#160;At the conclusion of
            this meeting, the USE special committee decided to make a one-time offer
            based

            a

            with the Crested special committee&#8217;s basis for a 15% premium offer made at the
            breakfast meeting, and informed the Crested special committee that the

            asset values of the companies, and the intangible factors involving the
            two
            companies, would not justify a stock exchange ratio of more than
            2:1.&#160;&#160;In particular, the USE special committee stated that the range
            of premiums paid&#160;by acquirors in other transactions was not applicable to
            the USE-Crested transaction.&#160;&#160;The other transactions involved
            companies with different or complementary businesses, and in the mineral sector,
            companies with different but complementary properties,

            would vote its Crested shares in line with a majority of the minority

            board: (i) USE would have the right to not consummate the merger if Crested
            shareholders with more than 200,000 shares dissented from the merger
            under
            Colorado law; and (ii) an optional cash out would be available (at USE&#8217;s
            discretion) for all of those Crested shareholders holding a small number
            of
            shares, in lieu of issuing USE shares to them.&#160;&#160;Each of the Crested
            and USE boards of directors approved inclusion of these two latter items

            terms of the merger</u> The Crested board of directors believes that the merger
            consideration is fair to the shareholders based upon Crested&#8217;s current financial
            condition and future prospects, as well as the current financial condition
            and
            the board&#8217;s perception of the future prospects of USE.&#160;&#160;In arriving at
            this conclusion, the board of directors, together with Crested&#8217;s management and
            legal and financial advisors, evaluated the lack of strategic alternatives
            available to Crested.</font></div>

              Crested board of directors also recognized that in December 2006, the
              merger
              consideration represented an approximate 12% premium over the average
              trading
              price of Crested&#8217;s common stock during&#160;preceding periods. The Crested board
              of directors also determined that the merger consideration fairly valued
              the
              cash and other assets on Crested&#8217;s balance sheet. In this regard, the Crested
              board of directors considered the information presented by, and the
              opinion of,
              NTB. See &#8220;Opinion of the Crested Financial Advisor &#8211; Neidiger, Tucker, Bruner,

              2007 as
              confirming the fairness of the exchange ratio as originally
              determined.</font></div>

            of the merger agreement and voting agreement</u> The Crested board of directors
            considered the terms of the merger agreement, including the nature and
            scope of
            the closing conditions.&#160;&#160;The board also considered the potential for
            incurring a termination fee in the event of a termination of the merger
            agreement under certain circumstances.&#160;&#160;While this fee is small in
            relation to similar fees in other merger transactions, it is potentially
            significant given Crested&#8217;s limited financial resources, and this provision
            might discourage third parties from seeking to acquire Crested.</font></div>

            board
            took into account the other termination provisions of the merger agreement,
            which were the subject of negotiations between the parties and which
            would
            permit either party to terminate the merger agreement without cause,
            including
            the provision that allows either party to terminate if the relative stock
            prices
            of the companies varies more than 20%.</font></div>

            addition, the Crested board considered the terms of the voting agreement
            between
            USE and certain of its affiliates who own Crested stock, and
            Crested.&#160;&#160;The Crested board considered it important that USE and those
            affiliates vote in line with the vote of the holders of a majority of
            the
            minority Crested shares.</font></div>

            Alternatives.</strong>&#160;&#160;Other than the merger, the Crested board of
            directors believed that the only strategic alternatives available to
            Crested
            were to liquidate or remain a stand-alone public company and seek to
            grow.</font></div>

            Crested board of directors considered a voluntary dissolution and liquidation
            of
            its assets as an alternative to the merger.&#160;&#160;Dissolution would require
            approval by the holders of a majority of Crested&#8217;s shares, including the shares
            held by USE.&#160;&#160;If approval were obtained, Crested would have to cease
            doing business except to liquidate assets, pay creditors, and distribute
            remaining assets to all shareholders.&#160;&#160;During the wind up phase, it is
            possible that Crested would have to continue filing periodic reports
            with the
            SEC, and if it didn&#8217;t have the funds to pay these compliance costs, it might be
            relying on USE to pay the costs, as well as other general and administrative
            expenses.</font></div>

            USE would vote in favor of a liquidation is not known to the Crested
            board.&#160;&#160;The Crested board also considered the fact that even if USE
            approved of a liquidation, the amount Crested might obtain from liquidating
            assets (for example, it&#8217;s 50% interest in the molybdenum properties) is
            unknown.&#160;&#160;In addition, an attempted sale of the 50% interest in the
            molybdenum properties might not be possible under the existing agreement
            between
            Kobex Resources Ltd., USE, and Crested.&#160;&#160;It is possible that buyers
            could not be located, or if located, the price would be unrealistically
            low
            compared to the value Crested minority shareholders may receive by owning
            shares
            in USE after the merger, with USE continuing to develop value from 100%
            of the
            two companies&#8217; assets, including the molybdenum property.</font></div>

            considered by the Crested board was for Crested to remain an independent
            entity.&#160;&#160;For Crested to realistically continue to operate as an
            independent entity for the benefit of all its shareholders, it would
            have to
            grow significantly.&#160;&#160;This would require hiring officers and employees,
            and potentially setting up an office outside of USE&#8217;s headquarters that the
            USECC Joint Venture owns.&#160;&#160;If Crested moved out of the headquarters,
            USE would have to either rent or purchase Crested&#8217;s one-half ownership in the
            building.&#160;&#160;Crested would also have to seek new opportunities for
            developing and executing a business plan that is not reliant on

            with
            its share of the proceeds, after retiring debt to USE, from the sale
            of the
            uranium assets to Uranium One, Crested likely may not have enough capital
            to
            continue as an independent public company, and additional funding for
            a new
            untested business plan would be difficult if not impossible to

            Crested board acknowledges the risks related to its minority shareholders
            owning
            USE shares: USE historically has relied on transaction-based revenues;
            its
            operations require locating and successful working with industry partners;
            and
            protracted downturns in mineral commodity prices can delay realizing
            value from
            significant investments.&#160;&#160;However, Crested faces the same
            risks.&#160;&#160;On balance, the Crested board concluded that the benefits of
            combining with USE greatly outweigh the strategic alternatives.&#160;&#160;This
            explanation of the Crested board of directors&#8217; reasons for the merger and all
            other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature

              threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition
              and
              measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax
              return.&#160;&#160;FIN 48 requires that the Company recognize in its financial
              statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more
              likely than
              not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the
              position.&#160;&#160;FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition,
              classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods
              and
              disclosure.&#160;&#160;The provisions of FIN 48 are effective beginning January
              1, 2007 with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle

              goodwill,
              deferred income taxes and income taxes payable in the Balance
              Sheets.&#160;&#160;The adoption of FIN 48 has no significant impact on the

              of

              half to
              each.&#160;&#160;2) a Contingent Stock Purchase Warrant between Sutter, the

              about whether
              the financial statements are free of material misstatement.&#160;&#160;An audit
              includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
              and
              disclosures in the financial statements.&#160;&#160;An audit also includes
              assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates

              management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
              We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our

              FASB Statement No. 109, &#8220;Accounting for Income Taxes.&#8221; FIN 48 prescribes a

              recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to
              be taken in a
              tax return. FIN 48 requires that the Company recognize in its financial
              statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more
              likely than
              not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the
              position.

            of

            an
            estimated fair value of approximately $7.5 million each, carried on RMG&#8217;s books

            because the 1872 Mining Law created no private cause of action for unrelated

                of any of its

                any breach, or

                and agrees,
                to the maximum extent permitted by law, to have the obligations of
                the
                Shareholder under this Agreement specifically enforced against him,
                her or it,
                without the necessity of posting bond or other security, and consents
                to the

            law permits a corporation, under specified circumstances, to indemnify

            attorney&#8217;s

            incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought

            third parties by reason of the fact that they were or are directors,

            employees or agents of the corporation, if these directors, officers,
