1. 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 Companys 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 Companys 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
Companys 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.
2. 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
Companys 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 November 5, 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
multi-jurisdictional 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 Companys 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
Companys 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 September 30, 2015.

As at September 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 Companys 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 purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to
future adjustments. Items which are not finalized include property, plant and
equipment, intangible assets customer sales contracts, decommissioning
liabilities, non-controlling interest and goodwill. These items will be
finalized when the Companys third party valuation of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed is completed.
|
(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 an estimated
Goodwill amount 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 initial estimated values of the Nichols Ranch
property, plant and equipment were determined 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 Companys 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. |

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 Companys 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 September 30, 2015 is $31,853 (December 31, 2014 - $26,725). Reclamation
costs are expected to be incurred between 2015 and 2041 in the following manner:
2015 2019 - $3,360, 2020 2024 - $2,570, 2025 2035 - $3,862, 2036 2041 -

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 nine months
ended September 30, 2015, the Company had net refunds and returns of
$5,268 from its collateral account (December 31, 2014 -$9,330) primarily
as a result of the restructuring of the Companys surety arrangements and
the reduction of bonding requirements at some of the Companys
projects. |
12. LOANS AND BORROWINGS
The contractual terms of the Companys interest-bearing loans
and borrowings, which are measured at amortized cost, and the Companys

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 Companys 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 nine
months ended September 30, 2015 the Company recorded a loss on revaluation
of convertible debentures of $872 (September 30, 2014 - $1,570). |
|
|
|
|
(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 Companys 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
$3,259. |
13. CAPITAL STOCK AND CONTRIBUTED SURPLUS
Authorized capital stock
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
Common Shares without par value, unlimited Preferred Shares issuable in series,
and unlimited Series A Preferred Shares. The Series A Preferred shares are
non-redeemable, non-callable, non-voting and with no right to dividends. The
Preferred Shares issuable in series will have the rights, privileges,
restrictions and conditions assigned to the particular series upon the Board of
Directors approving their issuance.

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 Companys closing share price
on the day before the grant date. |
|
|
|
For the nine months ended September 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 $248. 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 nine months ended September 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 Companys
historical share price volatility over a period equivalent to the expected
life of the options. |
(2) |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company
granted 2,040,408 stock options to employees, directors, consultants and
former employees of Uranerz as a replacement for stock options outstanding
at the date the acquisition was completed. The fair value of the
replacement options totaled $3,681 which was included in the consideration
paid of the Uranerz transaction. 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 |

16. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
The Company operates in the uranium mining industry and
its major product is U3O8. Its activities include uranium production, acquisition, exploration and development of uranium
properties. The Companys primary mining operations are in the United States.
The reportable segments are those operations whose operating
results are reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer to make decisions about
resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance provided
those operations pass certain quantitative thresholds. Operations whose
revenues, earnings or losses or assets exceed 10% of the total consolidated
revenue, earnings or losses or assets are reportable segments.
In order to determine reportable operating segments, management
reviewed various factors, including geographical location and managerial
structure. It was determined by management that a reportable operating segment
generally consists of an individual mining property managed by a single general
manager and management team. Certain properties that are in development or have
not reached commercial production levels are considered reportable segments
because they have reached quantitative thresholds. These have been identified as
non-operating segments. Finance income (expense), other income (expenses) are
managed on a consolidated basis and are not allocated to operating segments.
Non-mining and other operations are reported in Corporate and
other.

17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
General legal matters
In November, 2012, the Company was served with a Plaintiffs
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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Mills 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 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. The
parties are currently in the discovery process relating to this litigation.
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 Companys 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 Courts 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 maintain 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 Energy
Corporation (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 Clark County Plaintiffs
regarding the settlement of this litigation (the Plaintiffs in the Washoe County
case then voluntarily dismissed that action without prejudice in October 2015).
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 litigation
concerning the Acquisition. 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 Company
does not expect that any settlement amount 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.

statements and related notes for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2015 and the Companys consolidated annual financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2014.
This MD&A was written to comply with the requirements of
Canadian National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations. All
financial information in this discussion and analysis is presented in United
States dollars, unless otherwise stated. This MD&A contains certain
forward-looking statements. Refer to the cautionary language at the end of this
MD&A.
Other continuous disclosure documents, including the Companys
press releases, quarterly and annual reports, technical reports, Annual
Information Form (AIF) and its Annual Report on Form 40-F are available
through its filings with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada at
www.sedar.com (SEDAR) and in the United States at
www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml (EDGAR), and on the Companys
website at www.energyfuels.com.
In this discussion, the terms Company, we, us, and our
refer to Energy Fuels and, as applicable, the Companys wholly-owned
subsidiaries: Energy Fuels Holdings Corp. (previously known as Denison Mines
Holdings Corp.) (EFHC), Magnum Uranium Corp. (Magnum), Titan
Uranium Inc. (Titan), Strathmore Minerals Corp. (Strathmore),
Uranerz Energy Corporation (Uranerz) and their respective
subsidiaries.
ACQUISITION OF URANERZ
On June 18, 2015 (the Closing Date), the Company
acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Uranerz, pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) dated January 4,
2015 (the Acquisition).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, each
issued and outstanding share of common stock of Uranerz was canceled,
extinguished, and automatically exchanged for 0.255 common shares of the Company
(the Exchange Ratio). Based on the shares of Uranerz outstanding as of
the Closing Date, the Company issued 24,457,773 shares in exchange for all the
outstanding shares of Uranerz. The Company also issued 617,832 shares of its
common stock to financial advisors and 271,604 shares to former officers and
directors as partial payment of a change of control obligation.
Also, each outstanding option and warrant to acquire common
shares of Uranerz was converted on the Closing Date into an option or warrant to
acquire common shares of Energy Fuels on the same terms and conditions as were
applicable to the option or warrant prior to the transaction, except that the
number of shares subject to the option or warrant was adjusted based on the
Exchange Ratio, and the price was adjusted by taking the original exercise price
and dividing the exercise price by the Exchange Ratio. As a result, effective as
of the Closing Date the Company issued replacement options totaling 2,040,408
common shares and replacement warrants totaling 2,690,250 common shares of the
Company.
Uranerz is a United States based uranium producing 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,
and it is the generally accepted extraction technology used in the Powder River
Basin area of Wyoming. Uranerz controls a large strategic land position in the
central Powder River Basin, where it operates the Nichols Ranch ISR Uranium
Project. The acquisition of Uranerz provides the Company with current ISR
production and the capability to expand ISR production in the future.
The Nichols Ranch ISR Uranium Project is currently licensed to
include the Nichols Ranch Unit and the Hank Unit. Under the licensed plan, a
central processing plant has been built at Nichols Ranch, and a satellite
processing facility is contemplated to be built at the Hank Unit. The Nichols
Ranch central processing plant is fully operational and extraction has commenced
from the initial wellfields in the Nichols Unit. In March 2014, Uranerz
submitted environmental permit and license applications to incorporate the Jane
Dough Unit, which is adjacent to the Nichols Ranch Unit, into the Nichols Ranch
ISR Uranium Project. The Company is seeking to amend its environmental permit
and license and to revise its plan of operations for the Nichols Ranch ISR
Uranium Project in order to bring the Jane Dough Unit into extraction operations
before the Hank Unit. Due to the close proximity, fluids produced from the Jane
Dough Unit can be delivered directly to the Nichols Ranch processing facility by
pipeline, and an additional satellite processing facility will not be required. The Uranerz
management team has specialized expertise in the ISR uranium mining method, and
a record of licensing, constructing and operating ISR uranium projects.

The Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination
under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), with Energy
Fuels deemed to be the acquirer. 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. The value of the
share consideration was based on the closing price of the Companys shares on
the Closing Date, which was $4.16.
The allocation of the purchase price as of the Closing Date is
based upon Energy Fuels preliminary estimates and certain assumptions with
respect to the fair value associated with the assets and the liabilities
acquired. This preliminary fair value is supported by a preliminary third party
valuation of Uranerz assets. The purchase price allocation remains preliminary
and is therefore subject to further adjustment prior to the end of the first
quarter of 2016, at which time the final valuation process and analysis of
resulting tax effects will be completed. The final fair values of the assets and
liabilities may differ materially from the amounts disclosed below in the
initial purchase price allocation, as further analysis is completed.

OUTLOOK
Overview
With the June 2015 acquisition of the ISR operation at Nichols
Ranch, Energy Fuels has significantly increased its flexibility to regulate
production in response to market conditions and to meet the needs of its sales
contracts. At the same time, significant additional production can be brought on
line within months after a production decision is made. This allows the Company
to efficiently fulfil its existing sales commitments and commit to new spot and
term sales commitments that are backed by available production. The Company has
the following short-term production capabilities which can be brought on line
and/or production levels increased through December 31, 2016 (each of which is
more fully described below):
|
1) |
Nichols Ranch ISR Project |
|
2) |
Alternate feed materials |
|
3) |
Pinenut Mine ore that has been mined and is available for
milling |
|
4) |

In response to continued market uncertainty, the Company
expects to continue cash conservation efforts until additional sustained
improvement in uranium market conditions is observed. In addition, the Company
is continuing to manage its operations and assets conservatively, maintaining
its substantial uranium resource base, and scheduling uranium production at the
White Mesa Mill and Nichols Ranch as market conditions, cash needs and/or
contract delivery requirements may warrant.
Production and Operations Overview
The Company currently has finished goods inventory and
production capability that exceeds the sales commitments contained in its
existing sales contracts. As a result, both ISR and conventional production has
been, and is expected to continue to be, regulated until such time as market
conditions improve sufficiently and/or the Company requires cash to meet its
business needs. This allows the Company to maintain its readily available
mineral resources for future sales at price levels that we expect to be higher
than current levels and, accordingly, to be able to achieve the benefit of
expected future uranium price increases.
Production and Operations ISR Uranium Assets
At September 30, 2015, five header houses were in production at
the Nichols Ranch facility.
The Company plans to complete three additional header houses during the next 12
months, which will complete the development of production area #1. The Company
also plans to complete all monitor wells in production area #2. We expect the
Nichols Ranch facility to produce approximately 400,000 pounds of finished goods
from October 1, 2015 through the end of FY-2016.
On September 29, 2015, the Company announced that it has
commenced construction of an elution circuit at Nichols Ranch. Since Nichols
Ranch began operations in April 2014, loaded resins have been shipped to other
nearby third party-owned facilities for final yellowcake stripping, drying and
packaging. Upon completion of construction of the elution circuit at Nichols
Ranch, the Company will have brought all of these functions in-house, and have
entirely self-contained yellowcake processing capabilities for its ISR
production. The Company expects to spend approximately $3.9 million to complete
these plant upgrades.
Permitting at our adjacent Jane Dough Unit, which is expected
to feed the Nichols Ranch plant, is continuing and is expected to be completed
well in advance of our need to begin wellfield development on this property.
Also, our Hank Unit is now fully permitted as a satellite facility to the
Nichols Ranch plant. We are reviewing the economic viability of utilizing a
pipeline from the Hank Unit to the Nichols Ranch plant, instead of building a
satellite facility.
Production and Operations Conventional Uranium Assets
The Company ceased mining at the Pinenut mine in August 2015,
as the orebody was fully depleted. The ore mined from the Pinenut mine that has
not yet been milled contains approximately 350,000 lbs. of U3O8, and is
continuing to be shipped to the White Mesa Mill for processing in FY-2016 as
discussed below. The Company has commenced reclamation activities at the Pinenut
mine.
The White Mesa Mill has historically operated on a campaign
basis, whereby mineral processing occurs as mill feed, cash needs, contract
requirements, and/or market conditions may warrant. The Company expects to
continue the current mineral processing campaign at the White Mesa Mill into the
second half of FY-2016 to process available alternate feed materials and the
Pinenut ore, resulting in the production of approximately 600,000 pounds of
finished goods from October 1, 2015 through the end of FY-2016. Once this
campaign concludes, the Company expects to continue to receive and stockpile
alternate feed materials for future milling campaigns.
The Company has re-started development of the Canyon mine,
including the completion of necessary upgrades to the infrastructure and
installation of new mine equipment to optimize shaft sinking rates and realize
construction cost savings. The timing of the completion of development and
mining of the Canyon mine and processing of the ore will be based on market
conditions and customer requirements.
The Company also plans to continue to maintain, and update as
necessary, all permits on its other existing mines. These mines will remain on
standby until market conditions improve or the material can be sold into
long-term contracts at pricing that supports production. Expenditures for
permitting activities for new mines have been adjusted to coincide with expected
dates of production based on price forecasts. The Company also plans to continue
permitting its higher-priority projects. The Company is continuing to monitor
corporate and field overhead to reflect the lower levels of activity.

Sales
The Company forecasts sales in the fourth quarter of FY-2015 of
200,000 pounds of U3O8 at an average price of $54.59 per pound, of which 100,000
pounds was a result of moving deliveries from FY-2016 to Q4-2015.
For FY-2016 and FY-2017, the Company forecasts sales under
existing long-term contracts to total approximately 550,000 pounds and 620,000
pounds of U3O8, respectively, which include deliveries of 100,000 lbs. of U3O8
in FY-2016 and 200,000 lbs. of U3O8 in FY-2017 under contracts acquired through
the acquisition of Uranerz. The Company expects to complete these sales from
pounds already produced and to be produced from its current operations.
The Company is currently monitoring market conditions for
additional sales opportunities and will pursue economically justified uranium
sales contract leads. Additional selective spot sales will be made as necessary
to generate cash for operations and development.
The Company also continues to pursue new sources of revenue,
including expansion of its alternate feed business.
Capital requirements
On September 29, 2015, the Company filed a prospectus
supplement (Supplement) in both Canada and the United States to its Canadian
base shelf prospectus (the Canadian Base Prospectus) and U.S. registration
statement on Form F-10 (the Registration Statement), both of which were filed
on April 9, 2014. Concurrent with the filing of the Supplement, the Company
entered into a Controlled Equity Offering SM Sales Agreement with Cantor
Fitzgerald & Co. (Cantor), pursuant to which the Company may, at its
discretion from time to time, sell, through Cantor as agent, up to US$15.64
million worth of common shares by way of an at-the-market offering (the
ATM). Sales of the shares, if any, would occur by means of ordinary brokers
transactions or block trades, with sales only being made on the NYSE MKT at
market prices. Any decision to undertake sales of common shares pursuant to the
ATM would be at the Companys sole discretion. The current intention is to use
the proceeds, if any, of the ATM to: (i) fund development at Nichols Ranch
(including the plant upgrades described above); (ii) finance the development of
the Canyon mine; (iii) conduct a normal course issuer bid for some of the
Companys outstanding floating-rate convertible unsecured subordinated
debentures and (iv) fund the Companys general corporate needs and working
capital requirements.
OTHER 2015 HIGHLIGHTS TO DATE
|
|
The Company resumed development at its high-grade Canyon
mine in Arizona. According to the Arizona Strip Technical Report, prepared
in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and dated June 27,
2012, the Canyon deposit is estimated to have approximately 83,000 tons of
Inferred Mineral Resources containing approximately 1.63 million pounds of
uranium having an average grade of 0.98% eU3O8. |
|
|
|
|
|
On February 17, 2015, the Company acquired a 50% interest
in the high-grade Wate uranium deposit (the Wate Project) from
VANE Minerals (US) LLC (VANE). The Wate Project is held in the
Wate Mining Company, LLC joint venture (LLC). As consideration for the
50% interest in the LLC, the Company paid VANE $0.25 million cash at
closing, along with a $0.50 million non-interest-bearing promissory note,
payable in two equal installments of $0.25 million each on the 1st and 2nd
anniversaries of the note, and a 2% production royalty on the 50% LLC
interest being acquired. The royalty can be purchased by Energy Fuels upon
payment to VANE of an additional $0.75 million. In addition, upon
satisfaction of certain permitting milestones and other conditions, the
amounts due under the note will be accelerated, and the Company will pay
to VANE an additional $0.25 million cash. If Energy Fuels elects not to
make the payments under the note, it will be required to transfer the LLC
interest back to VANE. |

Operating Expenses
Production and Cost of Sales
For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Companys
uranium production totaled approximately 175,000 pounds of U3O8. This includes
approximately 100,000 pounds from alternate feed materials and approximately
75,000 pounds from the Companys Wyoming ISR operations. For the three months
ended September 30, 2014, the Companys uranium production totaled 420,000
pounds of U3O8, of which approximately 2,000 pounds were from alternate feed
materials and 418,000 pounds were from the Companys Arizona mines.
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30,
2015 totaled $11.93 million, which consisted of $11.47 million of mining and
milling production costs and $0.46 million of depreciation, depletion and
amortization. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2014
totaled $12.98 million, which consisted of $11.86 million of mining and milling
production costs and costs related to purchase of 180,000 pounds of U3O8 and
$1.12 million of depreciation, depletion and amortization. The decrease in cost
of goods sold is due to a lower sales volume in Q3-2015 vs Q3-2014.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Companys
uranium production totaled approximately 385,000 pounds of U3O8, of which
210,000 pounds were from alternate feed materials and other processing and
30,000 pounds were from the Companys Arizona mines, 60,000 pounds were
processed under a tolling arrangement for the account of a third party and
approximately 85,000 pounds of U3O8 were produced from the Companys ISR
operations which were acquired on June 18, 2015. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2014, the Companys uranium production totaled 770,232 pounds of
U3O8, of which 218,533 pounds were from alternate feed materials and 551,699
pounds were from the Companys Arizona mines.
Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2015
totaled $29.57 million, which consisted of $27.95 million of mining and milling
production costs and $1.62 million of depreciation, depletion and amortization.
Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $30.28
million, which consisted of $27.21 million of mining and milling production
costs and costs related to the purchase of 300,000 pounds of U3O8 and $3.07
million of depreciation, depletion and amortization. The decrease in cost of
goods sold is due to a decrease in production costs associated with alternate

Impairment of assets held for sale and property, plant and
equipment
During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company
evaluated the carrying value of assets held for sale and determined the fair
value less costs to sell was less than their aggregate carrying value.
Accordingly, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $2.00 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as a result of
(a) the drop in the U3O8 spot and long-term prices from April 1, 2014 through
July 31, 2014, (b) a significant deterioration in the Companys expectation at
that time of future uranium prices, and (c) the Companys expectation at that
time to place the White Mesa Mill and all associated mines that feed the White
Mesa Mill (collectively referred to as the White Mesa Mill Cash Generating Unit
the WMM CGU) on standby once current planned near term production at
the White Mesa Mill and the Pinenut mine had been completed, the Company tested
its plant, property and equipment related to the WMM CGU for impairment. The
Company estimated the fair value of the WMM CGU using discounted cash-flow
analysis that utilized forecasts of estimated U3O8 prices and determined that
the fair value less costs to sell the WMM CGU, were less than their aggregate
carrying values. Accordingly, the Company recognized an impairment loss of
$30.78 million in that period.

Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expense includes costs
associated with marketing uranium, the corporate general and administrative
costs, and the non-cash costs of amortization of above-market sales contract
value associated with the acquisition of Denisons US Mining Division in June
2012 and the acquisition of Uranerz in June 2015. General and administrative
expenses consist primarily of payroll and related expenses for personnel,
contract and professional services, stock-based compensation expense and other
overhead expenditures. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled
$5.70 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $3.58
million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Selling, general and
administrative expenses totaled $12.99 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2015 compared to $12.62 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2014. The increases are due to additional corporate overhead and
sales contract amortization related to Uranerz, combined with some one-time
charges.
Amortization of the intangible asset recorded for the U3O8
sales contract values in excess of spot price at the June 2012 acquisition date
of Denisons US Mining Division and the June 2015 acquisition date of Uranerz
totaled $1.77 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and $1.51
million the three months ended September 30, 2014. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2015 intangible asset amortization totaled $3.57 million vs $3.89
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The amount for each period
is directly related to the revenue from uranium concentrate volumes sold each
period (discussed above), as all the revenues earned for the periods are from
the contracts acquired.
Selling expenses totaled $0.04 million and $0.20 million for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $0.08 million
and $0.22 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
General and administrative expenses totaled $3.89 million and
$9.22 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $2.00
million and $8.51 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2014. The increase is mainly due to the addition of a corporate office as a
result of the acquisition of Uranerz.
Care and Maintenance Expenses
The Companys Beaver, Pandora and Daneros mines were placed on
standby in the last quarter of calendar year 2012, as a result of market
conditions. In November 2013 the Company placed shaft sinking operations at its
Canyon mine on standby, and in February 2014 the Company placed its Arizona 1
mine on standby. Costs related to the care and maintenance of these and other
standby mines are generally decreasing due to the Companys increased cost
efficiencies, which are achieved once the mines are placed on standby. Beginning
in the fourth quarter of FY-2014 the mill began operating at a reduced level,
and care and maintenance expenses include costs associated with maintaining
operational readiness at the White Mesa Mill while on stand-by or at a reduced
operating level. Changes in the decommissioning liability associated with the
White Mesa Mill are also included in these expenses.
Care and maintenance expenses totaled $1.70 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2015 consisting of $1.02 million related to
direct care and maintenance costs and increases in the White Mesa Mill
decommissioning liability totaling $0.69 million, compared with $1.07 million
related to direct care and maintenance costs in the three months ended September
30, 2014.
Care and maintenance expenses totaled $4.76 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2015 consisting of $5.01 million related to
direct care and maintenance costs partially offset by reductions in the White
Mesa Mill decommissioning liability totaling $0.24 million, compared with $2.61
million related to direct care and maintenance costs for the nine months ended
September 30, 2014.
The increases in the FY-2015 year-to-date direct care and
maintenance expenses are primarily attributable to maintaining the operational
readiness of the White Mesa Mill. The non-cash change in decommissioning
liabilities at the White Mesa Mill during the first half of FY-2015 is due
primarily to a change in discount rates.
Finance Income and Expenses
Finance expense was $0.01 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2015, and consists primarily of interest expense of $0.63 million,
accretion expense related to the decommissioning liability of $0.09 million and
a decrease in the mark-to-market values of the Companys convertible debentures
(the Debentures) totaling $0.02 million, partially offset by Interest income
of $0.02 million and change in the value of derivative liabilities of $0.71
million.

and accretion expense related to the decommissioning liability of $0.10 million,
partially offset by a change in the mark-to-market values of the Debentures
totaling $0.34 million.
Finance expense was $1.83 million for the nine months ended

Debentures totaling $0.87 million, interest expense of $1.39 million and
accretion expense related to the decommissioning liability of $0.27 million,
partially offset by interest income of $0.06 million and change in the value of
derivative liabilities of $0.71 million.
Finance expense was $2.93 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2014, and consists primarily of a change in the mark-to-market
values of the Debentures totaling $1.57 million, interest expense of $1.28
million and accretion expense related to the decommissioning liability of $0.30
million.
Other Income and Expenses
Other expense was $0.21 million and $6.38 million for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2015 vs $0.09 million and
$0.22 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Included
in other expense are $6.78 million in transaction costs related to the
acquisition of Uranerz, partially offset by a refund of property tax of $0.40
million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 2015, the Company had working capital of
$43.08 million including $17.74 million in cash and approximately 650,000 pounds
of finished goods inventory. Our contractual deliveries and related sales are
based on delivery schedules which can vary from quarter to quarter. As discussed
above, the Company expects to sell an additional 250,000 pounds of finished
goods during the remainder of the year. The Company believes it has sufficient
cash and resources to meet its current operational needs beyond calendar year
2015. As discussed above in Outlook, the Company intends to expand and develop
its wellfields and may install additional process circuits at the Nichols Ranch
Project, as well as complete development of its Canyon mine. Funding for these
development programs is expected to come from a combination of sales of product
and future financings.
Cash and Financial Condition
Cash and cash equivalents were $17.74 million at September 30,
2015, compared to $10.41 million at December 31, 2014. The increase of $7.33
million was due primarily to cash used in investing activities of $1.57 million,
cash from operations of $10.19 million, cash used in financing activities of
$1.15 million and loss on foreign exchange on cash held of $0.14 million.
Net cash from investing activities was $1.57 million, which was
primarily related the release of cash deposited with regulatory agencies of
$5.27 million, the $2.46 million cash acquired in the acquisition of Uranerz
combined with expenditures for property, plant and equipment of $4.05 million
and exploration, evaluation, permitting and development activities of $5.24
million.
Net cash used in financing activities was $1.15 million and is
comprised of the repayment of borrowings in the amount of $0.78 million,
interest paid on convertible debentures of $0.74 million combined with $0.19
million of proceeds from the issue of shares for options and warrant exercised
and $0.19 million of cash received from a non-controlling interest.
Net cash from operating activities of $10.22 million is
comprised of the net loss of $7.07 million for the period adjusted for non-cash
items and for changes in operating assets and liabilities. Significant items not
involving cash were $5.27 million of depreciation and amortization of property,
plant and equipment and intangible assets and a $1.27 million adjustment to the
decommissioning liability at the Companys White Mesa Mill and other mining
properties, $4.45 million of other expense related to the acquisition of Uranerz
and impairment of assets held for sale of $2.00 million.
Contractual Obligations
The Company enters into commitments with federal and state
agencies and private individuals to lease mineral rights. These leases are
renewable annually, and lease payments are expected to total $2.55 million for
the year ended December 31, 2015.

The Company will continue to prudently evaluate its contractual
obligations with respect to mineral properties as well as other associated
commitments with an eye towards deferring those expenses which do not meet
certain criteria. In addition, since the majority of the exploration commitments
are optional, the Company could choose to mitigate or eliminate the obligation
by opting out of the lease or claim.
Contingencies
Legal matters
In November, 2012, the Company was served with a Plaintiffs
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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Mills 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. The
parties are currently in the discovery process relating to this litigation.
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 Companys 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 Courts 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 maintain 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 Energy
Corporation (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 Clark
County Plaintiffs regarding the settlement of this litigation (the Plaintiffs in
the Washoe County case then voluntarily dismissed that action without prejudice
in October 2015). 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 litigation concerning the Acquisition. 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
Company does not expect that any settlement amount 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.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA
At November 5, 2015, there were 45,243,224 common shares issued
and outstanding, 3,498,223 warrants issued and outstanding to purchase a total
of 3,498,223 common shares, and 2,724,217 stock options outstanding to purchase
a total of 2,724,217 common shares and 272,866 restricted share units for a
total of 51,738,530 common shares on a fully-diluted basis. In addition, at
September 30, 2015, there were 22,000 Debentures outstanding, convertible into a
total of 1,466,667 common shares.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Internal controls over financial reporting
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the
Company are responsible for designing internal controls over financial reporting
(ICFR) or causing them to be designed under their supervision in order to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with IFRS. The control framework that has been used is the COSO (2013)
framework. The Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
have concluded, based on their evaluation of the design of ICFR as of September
30, 2015, that the Companys ICFR provides reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
in accordance with IFRS (except for ICFR related to Uranerz, as discussed
below).
Except as described below related to the acquisition of
Uranerz, there were no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial
reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2015 that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal
controls over financial reporting.
Disclosure controls and procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (DC&P) have been
designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant information required
to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to senior
management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. The Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
have concluded, based on their evaluation of the design of the DC&P as of
September 30, 2015, that such disclosure controls and procedures provide
reasonable assurance that material information is made known to them by others
within the Company and are appropriately designed (except for DC&P related
to Uranerz, as discussed below).

Acquisition of Uranerz
Effective June 18, 2015, the results of Uranerzs operations
have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The
Company has not had sufficient time to appropriately evaluate the internal
controls implemented by Uranerz. The Company has therefore elected to use the
exemption available under Canadian National Instrument 52-109 for recently
acquired businesses, to limit the scope of the evaluation of DC&P and ICFR
to exclude the controls, policies and procedures of Uranerz from the September
30, 2015 certification of internal controls. The Company is in the process of
integrating Uranerz operations and will be expanding its DC&P and ICFR
compliance program to include Uranerz within the next year. The financial
information for Uranerz is included in the discussion regarding the acquisition
contained in this MD&A and in Note 5 of the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2015. A summary of the
financial information for Uranerz, which was included in the consolidated
financial statements of the Company at September 30, 2015, is provided below:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE POLICIES
The disclosure required pursuant to Canadian National
Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices was made by the
Company in its Management Information Circular for its Annual and Special
Meeting held on June 18, 2015, which was made available to shareholders and
filed on SEDAR and EDGAR for internet access for public viewing.
Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in
accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates
and judgments that affect the amounts reported. It also requires management to
exercise judgment in applying the Companys accounting policies. These judgments
and estimates are based on managements best knowledge of the relevant facts and
circumstances taking into account previous experience. Although the Company
regularly reviews the estimates and judgments made that affect these financial
statements, actual results may be materially different.
Significant estimates made by management include:
|
a. |
Reserves and resources |
Proven and probable reserves are the economically mineable
parts of the Companys measured and indicated mineral resources demonstrated by
at least a preliminary feasibility study. The Company estimates its proven and
probable reserves and measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources based
on information compiled by appropriately qualified persons. The information
relating to the geological data on the size, depth and shape of the ore body
requires complex geological judgments to interpret the data. The estimation of
future cash flows related to proven and probable reserves is based upon factors
such as estimates of foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital
requirements and production costs along with geological assumptions and
judgments made in estimating the size and grade of the ore body. Changes in the
proven and probable reserves or measured, indicated and inferred mineral
resources estimates may impact the carrying value of property, plant and
equipment, goodwill, reclamation and remediation obligations, recognition of
deferred tax amounts and depreciation, depletion and amortization.

|
b. |
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of property,
plant and equipment |
Property, plant and equipment comprise a large component of the
Companys assets and, as such, the depreciation and amortization of those assets
have a significant effect on the Companys financial statements. Depreciation
and amortization of property, plant and equipment used in production is
calculated on a straight-line basis or a unit-of-production basis as
appropriate.
Plant and equipment assets depreciated using a straight-line
basis results in the allocation of production costs evenly over the assets
useful life defined as a period of time. Plant and equipment assets depreciated
on a units-of-production basis results in the allocation of production costs
based on current period production in proportion to total anticipated production
from the facility.
Mineral property assets are amortized using a
unit-of-production basis that allocates the cost of the asset to production cost
based on the current periods mined ore as a proportion of the total estimated
resources in the related ore body. The process of making these estimates
requires significant judgment in evaluating and assessing available geological,
geophysical, engineering and economic data, projected rates of production,
estimated commodity price forecasts and the timing of future expenditures, all
of which are, by their very nature, subject to interpretation and
uncertainty.
Changes in these estimates may materially impact the carrying
value of the Companys property, plant and equipment and the recorded amount of
amortization, depletion and depreciation.
|
c. |
Valuation of long-lived assets |
The Company undertakes a review of the carrying values of
property, plant and equipment and intangibles whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that their carrying values may exceed their estimated net
recoverable amounts determined by reference to estimated future operating
results and discounted net cash flows. An impairment loss is recognized when the
carrying value of those assets is not recoverable. In undertaking this review,
management of the Company is required to make significant estimates of, amongst
other things, future production and sale volumes, forecasted commodity prices,
future operating and capital costs and reclamation costs to the end of the mine
or mills life. These estimates are subject to various risks and uncertainties,
which may ultimately have an effect on the expected recoverability of the
carrying values of plant, property and equipment and intangibles.
Management uses judgment in applying the acquisition method of
accounting for business combinations and in determining fair values of the
identifiable assets and liabilities acquired. The value placed on the acquired
assets and liabilities, including identifiable intangible assets, will have an
effect on the amount of goodwill or bargain purchase gain that the Company may
record on an acquisition. Changes in economic conditions, commodity prices and
other factors between the date that an acquisition is announced and when it
finally is consummated can have a material difference on the allocation used to
record a preliminary purchase price allocation versus the final purchase price
allocation which can take up to one year after acquisition to complete.
|
e. |
Decommissioning liabilities |
Decommissioning liabilities are recorded as a liability when
the asset is initially constructed. The Company has accrued its best estimate of
its share of the cost to decommission its mining and milling properties in
accordance with existing laws, contracts and other policies. The estimate of
future costs involves a number of estimates relating to timing, type of costs,
mine closure plans, and review of potential methods and technical advancements.
Furthermore, due to uncertainties concerning environmental remediation, the
ultimate cost of the Companys decommissioning liability could differ from
amounts provided. The estimate of the Companys obligation is subject to change
due to amendments to applicable laws and regulations and as new information
concerning the Companys operations becomes available. The Company is not able
to determine the impact on its financial position, if any, of environmental laws
and regulations that may be enacted in the future.

Determination whether an acquisition represents a
business combination or asset purchase |
Management determines whether an acquisition represents a
business combination or asset purchase by considering the stage of exploration
and development of an acquired operation. Consideration is given to whether the
acquired properties include mineral reserves or mineral resources, in addition
to the permitting required and results of economic assessments.
Future Accounting Changes
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 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 Companys 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.
Future IFRS Changes
The IASB issued the following new and revised standards and
amendments, which are not yet effective which may have future applicability to
the Company:
As a result of the conversion to U.S. GAAP, the following new
standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations, will not be
effective for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, and have not been applied
in preparing the Company's third fiscal quarter unaudited condensed consolidated
interim financial statements.
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
On May 28, 2014 the IASB issued IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts
with Customers. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2017. Earlier application is permitted. IFRS 15 will replace
IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty
Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18
Transfer of Assets from Customers, and SIC 31 Revenue Barter Transactions
Involving Advertising Services. The extent of the impact of adoption of the
standard has not yet been determined.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
On July 24, 2014 the IASB issued the complete IFRS 9 (IFRS 9
(2014)). IFRS 9 (2014) introduces new requirements for the classification and
measurement of financial assets. Under IFRS 9 (2014), financial assets are
classified and measured based on the business model in which they are held and
the characteristics of their contractual cash flows. The extent of the impact of
adoption of the standard has not yet been determined.
Amendments to IFRS 11
On May 6, 2014 the IASB issued Accounting for Acquisitions of
Interests in Joint Operations (Amendments to IFRS 11). The amendments require
business combination accounting to be applied to acquisitions of interests in a
joint operation that constitute a business. The amendments apply prospectively
for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. The extent of the
impact of adoption of the amendments has not yet been determined.
Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38
On May 12, 2014 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 16 Property,
Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets. The amendments made to IAS 16
explicitly state that revenue-based methods of depreciation cannot be used for
property, plant and equipment. This is because such methods reflect factors
other than the consumption of economic benefits embodied in the asset. The
amendments in IAS 38 introduce a rebuttable presumption that the use of
revenue-based amortization methods for intangible assets is inappropriate. This
presumption could be overcome only when revenue and consumption of the economic
benefits of the intangible asset are highly correlated or when the intangible
asset is expressed as a measure of revenue. The extent of the impact of adoption
of the amendments has not yet been determined.
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28
On September 11, 2014 the IASB issued Sale or Contribution of
Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (Amendments to
IFRS 10 and IAS 28). The amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency
between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28 (2011), in dealing with
the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or
joint venture (JV). Specifically, under the existing consolidation standard the
parent recognizes the full gain on the loss of control, whereas under the
existing guidance on associates and JVs the parent recognizes the gain only to
the extent of unrelated investors interests in the associate or JV. The main
consequence of the amendments is that a full gain/loss is recognized when the
assets transferred meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3 Business
Combinations. A partial gain/loss is recognized when the assets transferred do
not meet the definition of a business, even if these assets are housed in a
subsidiary. The extent of the impact of adoption of the amendments has not yet
been determined.
Amendments to IAS 1
On December 18, 2014 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1
Presentation of Financial Statements as part of its major initiative to improve
presentation and disclosure in financial reports (the Disclosure Initiative).
These amendments will not require any significant change to current practice,
but should facilitate improved financial statement disclosures. The extent of
the impact of adoption of the amendments has not yet been determined.
ADDITIONAL IFRS FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES
The Company has included the additional IFRS measure Gross
Profit in the financial statements. Management noted that Gross Profit
provides useful information to investors as an indication of the Companys
principal business activities before consideration of how those activities are
financed, sustaining capital expenditures, corporate and exploration and
evaluation expenses, finance income and costs, and taxation.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
(a) Fair value hierarchy:
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.

ENERGY FUELS
INC. |
Managements Discussion and Analysis |
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015. |
(Expressed in
thousands of U.S. Dollars, Unless Otherwise Noted) |
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 2 or 3
(valuation technique using non-observable market inputs) as at September 30,
2015.
(b) Fair values:
As at September 30, 2015, the fair values of cash and cash
equivalents, restricted cash, short-term deposits, receivables, accounts payable
and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values because of the
short-term nature of these instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair
value on a recurring basis include:

(c) Credit risk:
Credit risk relates to cash and cash equivalents and trade and
other receivables and arises from the possibility that any counterparty to an
instrument fails to perform. The Company only transacts with highly rated
counterparties, and a limit on contingent exposure has been established for any
counterparty based on that counterpartys credit rating. The Companys sales are
attributable mainly to three multinational utilities. As at September 30, 2015,
the Companys maximum exposure to credit risk was the carrying value of cash and
cash equivalents, trade receivables and taxes recoverable.
(d) Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk the Company will not be able to meet
the obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company manages
liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company has
$43.08 million of working capital as at September 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 -
$38.60 million). Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, current portion of
notes payable and current taxes payable are due within the current operating
year. The Companys financial liabilities and other commitments are listed in
Notes 12 and 16.

liabilities (undiscounted) outstanding as at September 30, 2015:

(e) Foreign Currency Risk:
The foreign exchange risk relates to the risk that the value of
financial commitments, recognized assets or liabilities will fluctuate due to
changes in foreign currency rates. The Company does not use any derivative
instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates.

In certain cases, forward looking statements can be identified
by the use of words such as plans, expects or does not expect, is
expected, is likely, budget, scheduled, estimates, forecasts,
intends, anticipates or does not anticipate, continue, or believes,
and similar expressions, or variations of such words and phrases or statements
that certain actions, events or results may, could, would, might or
will be taken, occur or be achieved.
Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and
estimates of management as of the date such statements are made. Energy Fuels
believes that the expectations reflected in this forward-looking information are
reasonable but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to
be correct, and such forward-looking information included in this MD&A
should not be unduly relied upon. This information speaks only as of the date of
this MD&A.
Readers are cautioned that it would be unreasonable to rely on
any such forward looking statements and information as creating any legal
rights, and that the statements and information are not guarantees and may
involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and that actual results are
likely to differ (and may differ materially) and objectives and strategies may
differ or change from those expressed or implied in the forward looking
statements or information as a result of various factors. Such risks and
uncertainties include risks generally encountered in the development and
operation of mineral properties and processing facilities such as: risks
associated with mineral and resource estimates, including the risk of errors in
assumptions or methodologies; risks associated with estimating production,
forecasting future price levels necessary to support production, and the
Companys ability to increase production in response to any increases in
commodity prices; uncertainties and liabilities inherent in mining operations;
geological, technical and processing problems, including unanticipated
metallurgical difficulties, ground control problems, process upsets and
equipment malfunctions; risks associated with labour disturbances and
unavailability of skilled labour; risks associated with the availability and/or
fluctuations in the costs of raw materials and consumables used in the Company's
production processes; risks associated with environmental compliance and
permitting, including those created by changes in environmental legislation and
regulation and delays in obtaining permits and licenses that could impact
expected production levels or increases in expected production levels; actions
taken by regulatory authorities with respect to mining and processing
activities; risks associated with the Companys dependence on third parties in
the provision of transportation and other critical services; title risks; risks
associated with the ability of the Company to extend or renew mineral leases on
favorable terms or at all; risks associated with the ability of the company to
negotiate access rights on certain properties on favorable terms or at all; the
adequacy of insurance coverage; uncertainty as to reclamation and
decommissioning liabilities; the ability of the Companys bonding companies to
require increases in the collateral required to secure reclamation obligations;
the potential for, and outcome of, litigation and other legal proceedings,
including potential injunctions pending the outcome of such litigation and
proceedings; the ability of Energy Fuels to meet its obligations to its
creditors; risks associated with the Companys relationships with its business
and joint venture partners; failure to obtain industry partner, government and
other third party consents and approvals, when required; competition for, among
other things, capital, acquisitions of mineral reserves, undeveloped lands and
skilled personnel; failure to complete proposed acquisitions and incorrect
assessments of the value of acquisitions; risks posed by fluctuations in
exchange rates and interest rates, as well as general economic conditions; risks
inherent in the Companys and industrys forecasts or predictions of future
uranium and vanadium price levels; fluctuations in the market prices of uranium
and vanadium, which are cyclical and subject to substantial price fluctuations;
failure to obtain suitable term contracts for the sale of uranium; the risks
associated with asset impairment as a result of decreases in uranium prices;

other factors which could affect operations or financial results are included
under the heading Risk Factors in the Companys Annual
Information Form dated March 18, 2015 available at

statements and forward-looking information contained in this MD&A and the
documents incorporated by reference herein are expressly qualified by this
cautionary statement. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly
update or revise any forward looking statements to reflect actual results,
changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting any forward looking
statements or information except as expressly required by applicable securities
laws. If the Company does update one or more forward looking statements, no
inference should be drawn that the Company will make additional updates with
respect to those or other forward looking statements.
Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning
Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources: This MD&A may
use the terms Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources. United States
investors are advised that, while such terms are recognized and required by
Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does
not recognize them. Inferred Mineral Resources have a great amount of
uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their economic and legal
feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral
Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules,
estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or
other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume
that all or any part of Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources will ever be
converted into Mineral Reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not
to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or is
economically or legally mineable.
