In December 2008, USE and Thompson Creek Metals ("TCM") jointly purchased land for $4.0 million ($2.0 million paid in January 2009, $400,000 annually for five years). USE is responsible for one-half the purchase price. As of December 31, 2012, USE has paid $1.8 million, leaving $200,000 to be paid on or before January 2, 2014. On December 6, 2011, TCM notified the Company that it wishes to sell its interest in the property. The Company has until June 5, 2013 to decide whether to purchase TCM's 50% interest in the property, at cost, and close such purchase.

On May 5, 2011, USE borrowed $10.0 million from a commercial bank against Remington Village. At the date of filing of this annual report $9.6 million is due on the note. The note is collateralized by the Company's multi-family property in Gillette, WY. The note is amortized over 20 years with a balloon payment at the end of five years with an interest rate of 5.50% per annum. Proceeds of the note were used to fund general business obligations. When Remington Village is sold, the proceeds from the sale will first be applied to the retirement of the debt and the remainder applied to general corporate overhead and project development. Therefore, the debt related to Remington Village is included in current liabilities held for sale.
