The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Uranium Energy Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “our” and “we”). This MD&A should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2026 and the notes thereto and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2025 (the “Annual Report”), including the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, and notes thereto. Unless otherwise stated, all references to dollar amounts herein are to United States dollars.
Business
We have been primarily engaged in uranium mining and related activities, including exploration, pre-extraction, extraction and processing. Our principal projects are located in Wyoming and Texas in the U.S. and in Saskatchewan, Canada, as more fully described in our Annual Report.
In August 2024, we restarted uranium extraction at our fully permitted, and past producing, Christensen Ranch Mine ISR operation in Wyoming. During Fiscal 2025, our initial production as part of ramp up yielded 103,545 pounds and 26,421 pounds of precipitated uranium and dried and drummed U3O8 (uranium concentrate), respectively. In the nine months ended April 30, 2026, 146,550 pounds of precipitated uranium and dried and drummed U3O8 were produced at Christensen Ranch. We expect the ramp-up phase will continue while new production areas are being constructed in 2026. In March 2026, we secured State regulatory approval and commenced operating three additional header houses in Wellfield 11 at our Christensen Ranch Mine. Preconditioning of Wellfield 11 started thereafter, followed by carbon dioxide and oxygen injection to initiate the uranium recovery process. We continued to develop new production areas at Christensen Ranch during the quarter. One header house in Wellfield 11 is complete and is awaiting regulatory approval. Five more header houses are under construction in Wellfields 12 and 10-extension. Additionally, baseline water quality sampling was completed in Wellfield 10-extension.
At Ludeman, our third ISR project, the previously announced 240-hole delineation drill program was completed. This work will assist wellfield pattern design currently underway. Additionally, core samples were collected for subsequent laboratory testing. Engineering work for the satellite ion-exchange plant progressed with the plant layout and pad design largely finalized and fabrication of the ion-exchange vessels ahead of schedule. The engineering team continues to advance the remainder of the mechanical equipment specifications which allows us to begin the procurement process for longer lead time equipment. Uranium captured on ion-exchange resin at the Ludeman satellite plant will be transported to the Irigaray central processing plant (the “CPP”), our hub in the Powder River Basin, for stripping, precipitation, drying and packaging.
Uranium recovered from our Christensen Ranch Mine is processed at our Irigaray CPP, which has a licensed production capacity of four million pounds of U3O8 per year. The Irigaray CPP is the hub central to our four fully permitted ISR projects located in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming, including our Christensen Ranch Mine and our Reno Creek, Moore Ranch and Ludeman Projects.

On August 1, 2025, our Sweetwater Project was designated as a FAST-41 transparency project by the U.S. Federal Permitting Improvement “Steering Council” as part of the implementation of President Trump’s Executive Order on Immediate Measures to “Increase American Mineral Production”. Our first milestone in the FAST-41 process was completed in our second fiscal quarter with the submission of the Sweetwater Plan of Operations for ISR operations to the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) on November 14, 2025. BLM’s 30-day public comment period for the Plan of Operations began on March 16, 2026 and ended April 17, 2026. Comments will be evaluated during the National Environmental Policy Act process, which began in June 2026. A 200-hole delineation drilling program in the first two planned wellfields at Sweetwater commenced in March and was completed in early May for the Sweetwater North area where wellfield pattern planning has commenced. A second 200-hole delineation drilling program is scheduled to begin in July 2026 where the third ISR wellfield at Sweetwater is planned. We have commenced the assessment of refurbishment requirements for the Sweetwater Mill for both conventional and ISR operations. Ion-exchange vessels for the Sweetwater ISR circuit are under construction.
In Texas, our fully-licensed and 100% owned Hobson CPP forms the basis for our regional operating strategy in the State of Texas, specifically the South Texas Uranium Belt, where we utilize ISR mining. We utilize a “hub-and-spoke” strategy whereby the Hobson Processing Facility, which has a physical capacity to process uranium-loaded resins of up to a total of two million pounds of U3O8 annually and is licensed to process up to four million pounds of U3O8 annually, acts as the central processing site (i.e. a hub) for our Burke Hollow Mine and Palangana Mine, and future satellite uranium mining activities, such as our Goliad Project, located within the South Texas Uranium Belt (i.e. the spokes). In April 2026, we received approval from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and commenced production at our Burke Hollow Mine in South Texas. In order to initiate the uranium recovery process, oxygen and carbon dioxide were injected into the wellfield and will provide initial feed to the ion-exchange plant. The satellite ion-exchange plant, including columns, resin and water treatment systems with an overall capacity of 2,500 gallons per minute was commissioned in the fiscal third quarter. Wellfield development continued in phase 1A. An additional 46 wells were completed and tested for mechanical integrity facilitating installation of pumps and related piping and infrastructure. The main trunkline, piping, and valves have been installed and tested, as well as piping for oxygen delivery to the field.
In Canada, as part of the planned pre-feasibility study at the Roughrider Project, we have substantially completed a 35,000-meter conversion core drilling program. This included resource targets across the West Zone, East Zone and Far East Zone, aiming to convert inferred estimated resources into the indicated category at the Roughrider Project. 80% of the planned drilling has been completed to date. We have engaged Tetra Tech Canada Inc. to provide lead technical services for the preparation of the pre-feasibility study. Process flow diagrams, mass and water balance drawing, and process equipment lists have been completed. Concurrently, we have provided an electrical load list and a transmission interconnection service request to SaskPower for a Definition Phase Agreement connecting high-voltage power to the Roughrider Project. We continue to advance Roughrider through technical and environmental studies, community engagement and assessing opportunities to further de-risk the project. The processes of updating the environmental baseline work and Indigenous engagement supports a future Environmental Impact Assessment and licensing required for uranium production.
In September 2025, we announced the incorporation of United States Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp. (“UR&C”), which is intended to pursue the feasibility of developing a new uranium refining and conversion facility in the U.S. The project will move forward contingent on several factors, including completion and assessment of additional engineering and economic studies, securing strategic government commitments, utility contracts, regulatory approvals and favorable market conditions. On March 18, 2026, UR&C received a docket number from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”) for its planned uranium conversion facility. The formal license application is expected to be submitted once engineering and design activities, currently underway with Fluor Corporation (“Fluor”), are complete and a site has been selected. Ongoing discussions with the U.S. Department of Energy regarding strategic nuclear fuel cycle infrastructure has led UR&C to broaden its site selection process. Additional candidate locations are being evaluated to ensure alignment with federal priorities to restore domestic uranium conversion capacity and strengthen America's nuclear fuel supply chain. This work has culminated in the identification of a final shortlist of candidate locations. Concurrently, work led by Fluor is advancing into a new phase in their Greenville, South Carolina offices, with a significant expansion of engineering and technical resources supporting facility design, siting, licensing and development.

In Paraguay, the Alto Paraná Project hosts a globally significant titanium resource. We commissioned TZ Minerals International PTY LTD (“TZMI”) to review the project’s positioning within the U.S. critical materials framework. TZMI reviewed the potential opportunity and the previously disclosed resource estimate and initial assessment (“PEA”) disclosed by us in November 2023(1). In its recently completed report, TZMI identified the project’s unique strategic fit, including being located in a U.S. aligned partner country, its access to clean, low-cost power and its ability to integrate into U.S. and allied downstream processing supply chains. It also highlighted that Alto Paraná presents an opportunity to directly address three structural vulnerabilities in U.S. critical minerals policy: 1) being its current near-total reliance on imported titanium sponge feedstock, 2) the high concentration of vanadium unit supply from a limited number of jurisdictions and, 3) the limited availability of large-scale, allied supply sources within the Western Hemisphere. The PEA and this new report highlight the unique advantages of this world-class, large-scale ilmenite deposit, including its high grade, surface accessibility and low-cost, low-carbon advantages supported by proximity to hydroelectric power, enabling long-life production. The PEA evaluated two development scenarios based on estimated indicated and inferred mineral resources. The first scenario yielded a net present value discounted at 8% (“NPV8”) of $419 million with a 21% post-tax internal rate of return (“IRR”) utilizing less than 0.2% of the regional resource per year. The second, larger-scale scenario set out a NPV8 of $1.55 billion with a 25% post-tax IRR utilizing less than 0.7% of the regional resource per year (1) . The project hosts an estimated inferred mineral resource of 3.58 billion tonnes at an average grade of approximately 7.3% TiO₂ and an estimated indicated mineral resource of 70 million tonnes at an average grade of approximately 7.6% TiO₂ (2) .
Notes:
1. The assessment is preliminary in nature, it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have modifying factors applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves and there is no certainty that this economic assessment will be realized.
2. Reported grades are expressed as in-situ whole rock TiO₂ grades.

On October 2, 2025, we completed a private placement offering of 575,000 shares of our common stock issued as “flow-through shares”, as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), for gross proceeds of $8.63 million. The proceeds will be applied toward certain qualifying CEE, as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada), at the Company’s Roughrider Project located in Saskatchewan, Canada.
On October 6, 2025, we completed a public offering of 15,500,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $13.15 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $203.83 million. On October 9, 2025, the underwriter exercised its over-allotment option to purchase an additional 2,325,000 shares of common stock at the same offering price, providing additional gross proceeds to the Company of $30.57 million. The total issuance costs were $2.79 million pursuant to the public offering and the over-allotment purchase. We intend to use the proceeds from this offering to support the development of a new uranium refining and conversion facility through UR&C, as well as for general corporate and working capital purposes.
As at April 30, 2026, we hold certain mineral rights in various stages in the States of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Wyoming, and in Canada and in the Republic of Paraguay, many of which are located in historically successful mining areas and have been the subject of past exploration and pre-extraction activities by other mining companies.
Our operating and strategic framework is to become a leading low-cost North American focused uranium supplier based on expanding our uranium extraction activities, which includes advancing certain uranium projects with established mineralized materials towards uranium extraction and establishing additional mineralized materials on our existing uranium projects or through acquisition of additional uranium projects.
We continue to establish additional uranium projects through exploration and pre-extraction activities and direct acquisitions in the U.S., which require us to manage numerous challenges, risks and uncertainties inherent in our business and operations as more fully described in Item 1A. Risk Factors herein.
Physical Uranium Program
We are investing in building the next generation of low-cost uranium projects that will be competitive on a global basis and which will use the ISR mining process which is expected to reduce the impact on the environment as compared to conventional mining. Despite our focus on low cost ISR mining with its low capital requirements, we saw a unique opportunity to purchase drummed uranium at prevailing spot prices which are below most global industry mining costs. Hence, we established a physical uranium portfolio (the “Physical Uranium Program”).
As of April 30, 2026, we held 1,456,000 pounds of purchased uranium, and all previously disclosed purchase commitments for uranium had been fulfilled as of such date with no outstanding purchase agreements remaining.
Our Physical Uranium Program currently supports three objectives for our Company: (i) to bolster our balance sheet as uranium prices appreciate; (ii) to provide strategic inventory to support future marketing efforts with utilities that could compliment production and accelerate cash flows; and (iii) to increase the availability of our Texas and Wyoming production capacity for emerging U.S. origin specific opportunities which may command premium pricing due to the scarcity of domestic uranium.
Uranium Market Developments
The uranium market is currently positively impacted by a macro demand for more electricity generation, an unprecedented global push for clean energy, data center and artificial intelligence development, geopolitical pressures and historic under investment among other factors. In its Electricity 2026 report published in February 2026, the International Energy Agency (“IEA”) reported electricity demand grew by 3% in 2025 and is expected to grow at a 3.6% annual rate through 2030. Nuclear generation set a record high and is projected to increase 2.8% per year through 2030. The report also estimated that nuclear energy, together with renewable energy sources, will generate about half of all global electricity by 2030. The IEA indicates that “global data center electricity consumption is projected to roughly double by 2030, rising from roughly 415 to 450 Terawatt-hour (“TWh”) in 2024 and 2025 to over 900 to 1,000 TWh by 2030”. ICF International Inc., in its September 2025 study, projected that electricity demand in the U.S. will see a 25% increase by 2030 and near 80% increase by 2050.
Countries around the globe are realizing that the reliable, clean, safe, economical power nuclear energy provides are desirable attributes for a country’s baseload energy platform. An increasing number of governments have announced that they are pursuing strategies to increase energy independence for national security interests that dovetail well with nuclear power as a key component in their energy mix.

In the U.S. several pieces of bipartisan legislation have passed in recent years supporting nuclear energy development and expansion, including the Nuclear Fuel Security Act, the Advance Act, the Inflation Reduction Act and the Big Beautiful Bill (collectively, the “Acts”). In combination, these Acts and other legislative efforts seek to encourage the restoration and rebuilding of a robust domestic fuel cycle in the U.S. Consistent with the Acts, recent legislation labeled as the Accelerating Reliable Capacity (ARC) Act of 2026 has been introduced in the U.S. Senate by bipartisan parties to expedite new advanced reactor development and provide federal backing for over-budget nuclear reactors.
On May 23, 2025, the President of the United States signed Executive Orders (each, an “Executive Order”) that include a policy objective to quadruple U.S. nuclear energy by 2050. These Executive Orders marked a historic level of policy support to rejuvenate the U.S. nuclear industry and its infrastructure, underscoring its importance as a matter of national security. The Executive Orders invoke the Defense Production Act and are intended to have significant positive policy and economic impacts on the domestic fuel cycle, reactor new builds, research and new technology advancements.
Underscoring the Executive Orders directives, on October 28, 2025, announcements were made that the U.S. Government had entered into a strategic partnership encompassing at least $80 billion for the construction of new nuclear reactors using Westinghouse technology. To meet the goal of having 10 large reactors under construction by 2030, the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) is in advanced talks to provide financing, specifically for long-lead time components like reactor vessels and steam generators, to accelerate construction timelines. The DOE’s Office of Energy Dominance Financing has nearly $290 billion in available funding that can be directed towards baseload energy, with nuclear power plants expected to be the largest recipient.
Global uranium market fundamentals have shown significant improvement in recent years as this market began a transition from being inventory driven to production driven. The spot market bottomed out in November 2016 at about $17.75 per pound U3O8, but has since shown significant appreciation, reaching $101.50 per pound U3O8 on January 29, 2026. Since that time the market has experienced what appears as a shorter-term pullback and consolidation with trading in the range of $86 to $87 per pound at the end of April 2026. (Source: UxC LLC Historical Ux Daily Prices).
During the three and nine months ended April 30, 2026, uranium prices averaged $86.37 and $81.25 per pound U3O8 representing a 31.8% and 9.2% increase, respectively, compared to the average price of $65.53 and $74.38 per pound U3O8 in the corresponding period in Fiscal 2025 (Source: UxC LLC Historical Ux Daily Prices).
Relative underinvestment in uranium mining operations has been evident for more than a decade and has been a major factor contributing to a structural deficit between global production and uranium requirements. Reduced production from existing uranium mines has also been a contributing factor with some large producers cutting back and/or unable to reach previously planned production levels. In 2026 through 2028 the mid-case gap between production and requirements is projected to be about 65 million pounds U3O8, and by 2036 accumulates to a total above 290 million pounds U3O8 (Source: UxC 2026 Q1 Uranium Market Outlook). For context, the U.S. commercial reactor fleet requirements were 55.9 million pounds of U3O8 in 2024 (Source: United States Energy Information Administration, September 30, 2025 - Uranium Marketing Annual Report). The current gap is being filled with secondary market sources, including finite inventory that has been declining and is projected to decline further in coming years. Secondary supply is also expected to be further reduced with western enrichers reversing operations from underfeeding to overfeeding that requires more uranium to increase the production of enrichment services. As secondary supplies continue to diminish, and as existing mines deplete resources, new production will be needed to meet future demand. The timeline for many new mining projects can be 10 to 20 years and will require prices high enough to stimulate new mining investments.
Since 2022, uranium supply has become more complicated due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with its State Atomic Energy Corporation, Rosatom, being a significant supplier of nuclear fuel around the globe. Economic sanctions, transportation restrictions and U.S. legislation banning the importation of Russian nuclear fuel, together with the European Union’s goals to reduce and eventually eliminate its dependence on Russian fuel is causing a fundamental change to the nuclear fuel markets. As a result of the instability and assurance of supply risks, U.S. and European utilities are shifting supply focus to areas of low geopolitical risk.

The United States Presidential Executive Order “Establishing The National Energy Dominance Council” stated that one of its objectives is to “reduce dependency on foreign imports” for the United States’ “national security” and recognized uranium as an “amazing national asset” (Source: The White House News & Update, February 14, 2025). As of November 7, 2025, Uranium was added back into the U.S. Geological Survey list of Critical Minerals making it also subject to the Section 232 Investigation on Critical Minerals that was already underway. On January 14, 2026, Presidential Proclamation 11001 was issued – Adjusting Imports of Processed Critical Minerals and their Derivative Products (“PCMDPs”) into the United States. The Proclamation directs the U.S. Trade Representative and Department of Commerce to negotiate agreements with trading partners to secure supply chains and address import volumes. The Proclamation addresses the Section 232 investigation and stated: “the Secretary recommended a range of actions, including actions to adjust the imports of PCMDPs so that such imports will not threaten to impair the national security”. While specific remedies are not yet defined, in the event agreements are not reached or are ineffective by July 13, 2026, the actions could potentially lead to the resumption of strategic uranium reserve purchases, establishment of import price floors and other remedies.
On April 23, 2026, the DOE’s Office of Nuclear Energy announced the following new initiative to secure the nation’s nuclear fuel supply chain: “Through the Defense Production Act Nuclear Fuel Cycle Consortium, the federal government will work with the domestic nuclear industry to ensure that the United States continues to have enough nuclear fuel to power the current nuclear reactor fleet as well as future advanced reactors”. This is known as the “Nuclear Dominance 3 by 33” campaign to secure U.S nuclear fuel supply and one of the possible outcomes is actions to fund and build up the strategic uranium reserve.
On the demand side, the global nuclear energy industry continues robust growth, with 72 new reactors connected to the grid in 2015 through April of 2026 with another 72 reactors under construction. (Source: International Atomic Energy Association Power Reactor Information System – May 8, 2026). Total nuclear generating capacity for the world’s 438 operable reactors stands at 401 gigawatts (Source: World Nuclear Association – April 20, 2026). In March of 2026 the World Nuclear Association reported 38 countries have pledged to at least triple their nuclear capacity by 2050, further supporting additional growth for the nuclear industry and uranium demand. In addition, over 140 nuclear industry companies, 16 of the world’s largest banks, like Citibank, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, and at least 15 large energy users, such as Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon and Google, have all pledged to support this goal in their investments and commercial activities.
There is positive momentum from the utility industry as they return to a longer-term contracting cycle to replace expiring contracts. It is estimated that cumulative uncommitted demand through 2035 is more than 800 million pounds U3O8 (Source: UxC Uranium Market Overview Q1 2026). This utility demand, together with potential demand from financial entities, government programs and the overall increase in interest in nuclear energy as a source for growing electricity demand from growing electrification demand, artificial intelligence and data center applications, are continuing to add positive tailwinds to the strong fundamentals in the uranium market.
Seasonality
The timing of our uranium concentrate sales is dependent upon factors such as extraction results from our mining activities, cash requirements, contractual requirements and perception of the uranium market. As a result, our sales are neither tied to nor dependent upon any particular season. In addition, our ability to conduct exploration on our Canadian projects can be limited in the spring and fall seasons when access to lakes is limited by thin and or unstable ice.
Results of Operations
During the nine months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, we recorded revenue of $20.20 million and $66.84 million, respectively, and gross profit of $10.03 million and $24.48 million, respectively, related to sales of purchased uranium inventory. There were no sales for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and April 30, 2025.
For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2026, we recorded a net loss of $52.34 million ($0.11 per share) and $76.62 million ($0.16 per share), respectively, and loss from operations of $40.79 million and $94.17 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended April 30, 2025, we recorded a net loss of $30.21 million ($0.07 per share) and $60.60 million ($0.14 per share), respectively, and loss from operations of $23.46 million and $40.30 million, respectively.
During the nine months ended April 30, 2026, we continued ramping up mining activities at our Christensen Ranch Mine, where 146,550 pounds of precipitated uranium and dried and drummed U3O8 were produced. We expect the ramp-up phase will continue while new production areas are being constructed in Fiscal 2026. Additionally, uranium extraction at our new Burke Hollow Mine commenced in April 2026. In parallel, we continued to advance our Roughrider Project with resource expansions and accelerated the development program at our Ludeman Project. In addition, delineation drilling at our Sweetwater Project is underway. The rest of our uranium projects are expected to remain in a state of operational readiness and the relevant expenditures, which are directly related to regulatory/mine permit compliance, lease maintenance obligations and maintaining a necessary labor force, are being charged to our consolidated statement of operations.

As at April 30, 2026, the total estimated reclamation costs for all of our projects was $88.90 million. We have secured $63.89 million of surety bonds as an alternate source of financial assurance for the estimated costs of our reclamation obligations, of which $1.88 million is funded and held as restricted cash for collateral purposes as required by the surety. We may be required at any time to fund the remaining $62.01 million or any portion thereof for a number of reasons including, but not limited to, the following: (i) the terms of the surety bonds are amended, such as an increase in collateral requirements; (ii) we are in default with the terms of the surety bonds; (iii) the surety bonds are no longer acceptable as an alternate source of financial assurance by the regulatory authorities; or (iv) the surety encounters financial difficulties. Should any one or more of these events occur in the future, it may have an adverse impact on our financial condition.
We have a history of operating losses resulting in an accumulated deficit balance since inception. We had an accumulated deficit balance of $483.18 million as at April 30, 2026. We may not achieve and maintain profitability or develop positive cash flow from our operations in the near term. During the nine months ended April 30, 2026, we received net proceeds of $508.20 million (nine months ended April 30, 2025: $168.03 million) from our at-the-market offerings, public offering and flow-through share private placement and from exercises of our stock options. As at April 30, 2026, we had a working capital of $563.83 million.

Historically, we have been reliant primarily on equity financings from the sale of our common stock in order to fund our operations. We have yet to achieve consistent profitability or develop consistent positive cash flow from operations. In recent periods, we have also generated cash through the sales from uranium inventories. Our reliance on equity is expected to continue for the foreseeable future and we may need to seek additional equity and/or debt financing in the future to manage our liquidity needs. The availability of such financing will be dependent on many factors beyond our control and including, but not limited to, the market price of uranium, the continuing public support of nuclear power as a viable source of electricity generation, the volatility in the global financial markets affecting our stock price and the status of the worldwide economy, any one of which may cause significant challenges in our ability to access additional financing, including access to the equity and credit markets. There is no assurance that we will be successful in securing any form of additional financing when required and on terms favorable to us.
Our operations are capital intensive and future capital expenditures are expected to be substantial. Our anticipated operations, including exploration, pre-extraction and extraction activities, however, will be dependent on and may change as a result of our financial position, the market price of uranium and other considerations, and such changes may include accelerating the pace or broadening the scope of reducing our operations. Our ability to secure adequate funding for these activities will be impacted by our operating performance, other uses of cash, the market price of uranium, the market price of our common stock and other factors which may be beyond our control. Specific examples of such factors include, but are not limited to:
● if the market price of uranium weakens;
● if the market price of our common stock weakens; and
● if a nuclear incident, such as the events that occurred in Japan in March 2011, were to occur, continuing public support of nuclear power as a viable source of electrical generation may be adversely affected, which may result in significant and adverse effects on both the nuclear and uranium industries.
Our long-term success, including the recoverability of the carrying values of our assets and our ability to acquire additional uranium projects and continue with exploration, pre-extraction, extraction and mining activities on our existing uranium projects, will depend ultimately on our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow from our operations by establishing ore bodies that contain commercially recoverable uranium and to develop these into profitable mining activities.
In the future we may make acquisitions of businesses or assets or commitments to additional capital projects or strategic initiatives such as UR&C. To achieve the long-term goals of expanding our assets and earnings, including through acquisitions of complementary businesses or assets, capital resources may be required. Depending on the size of a transaction, the capital resources that will be required can be substantial. The necessary resources will be generated from cash flow from operations, cash on hand, sales of inventories and securities, borrowing against our assets or the issuance of equity or debt securities.
