                                     ------

  Item 1.     Business.
  -------     ---------

  Discontinuance of Operations

       The Company's uranium mining and milling activities were
  discontinued in 1982 as a result of the depressed market price for
  uranium concentrate.  In 1984 the Company began reclamation of its
  milling site, as required by federal and state law.  In 1988, the Company
  decommissioned its uranium mill and began reclamation of the mill site.

       In 1990 the Company shifted its efforts from uranium, for which the
  market price remained depressed, to the new and developing industry of
  byproduct material disposal for various uranium ore processors.  The
  Company fulfilled several such disposal contracts between 1990 and 1993.

       After extensive marketing efforts, it became apparent that the
  byproduct disposal business would not produce revenues adequate to
  sustain the Company's operations unless it raised adequate capital for
  expanding the byproduct disposal business into a large commercial
  byproduct disposal operation.  The Company's efforts in 1992 and 1993 to
  raise additional capital from investors were not successful.  Starting in
  1993, the Company advertised its mining properties for sale to raise
  funds for development of the commercial disposal operation through a sale
  of its principal asset, the Peach mining properties.

       The Company's efforts to sell its mining properties in 1993 and
  early 1994 were not successful.  While potential purchasers continued to
  express interest through early 1994, the Company did not receive any
  offer greater than the amount of the debt due to Cycle Resource
  Investment Corporation (CRIC) that was secured by a mortgage against the
  properties.  Inability to sell the mining properties, lack of capital,
  and lack of revenues from both its uranium properties and its byproduct
  disposal business deprived the Company of operating capital.  The mining
  properties were the only major asset of the Company, and selling them to
  raise working capital was the Company's only remaining means to stay in
  business.  The Company determined to discontinue business operations
  during May 1994, to liquidate its miscellaneous property, and to pay its
  current liabilities and other expenses associated with an orderly closing
  of business operations.  Because of the Company's continuing liabilities
  for cost overruns that may be incurred by the state of Wyoming in
  reclaiming the Company's mining site, the Company has no plans to pursue
  other business activities.


  Marketability of Common Stock

       Effective May 9, 1994, the Company's common stock was delisted and
  removed from the NASDAQ Small Cap Market.  There is no regular trading
  market for the Company's common stock.  Isolated trades may occur on the
  electronic bulletin board.

  Development of Business Before Discontinuance in 1994

       American Nuclear Corporation, the Company, was incorporated in 1955
  as one of the first uranium exploration companies formed after the
  commercial importance of uranium as a source of energy and fuel was
  realized.  The Company acquired uranium mining properties by locating
  mining claims and purchasing other mining claims.


  Uranium Mining for Atomic Energy Commission and Others

       Starting in 1959 the Company was engaged, with its partner, Federal
  Resources Corporation, in mining and milling uranium concentrates in the
  Gas Hills area in central Wyoming for sale to the U.S. Atomic Energy
  Commission and various utilities that supply electricity.  The mining was
  conducted by open pit surface mining.  The mill was also operated on a
  custom basis to mill uranium ores for other uranium producers.  The
  Atomic Energy Commission discontinued purchases in 1971 when its
  inventory goals and strategic plans were met and a United States uranium
  industry had been created.  The partnership continued to operate its mill
  for producing its own properties and custom milling of uranium ores for
  other producers for sales to commercial users.


  Expansion of Uranium Industry in the 1970's

       The modern uranium industry was shaped in the 1970s in response to
  growth in nuclear power generation by utilities.  The embargoes of
  imports of foreign oil in the early 1970s caused an energy crisis in the
  United States and resulted in increased construction of nuclear power
  plants and plans for more plants.  Demand for uranium increased
  significantly from spot prices for short-term deliveries of less than $10
  per pound of uranium concentrate in 1971 to more than $40 per pound by
  1978.


  Tennessee Valley Authority Agreements

       In 1972 the Company entered into an arrangement with the Tennessee
  Valley Authority (TVA), an agency wholly owned by the United States, for
  the joint acquisition of uranium properties to be produced for use by TVA
  to fuel its nuclear power plants.  In 1973 Federal American Partners
  leased its mining properties to TVA.  From 1979 through 1982, the
  partnership mined its properties and milled its ores for TVA.  In the
  late 1970's annual production reached a level of 1.2 million pounds of
  uranium concentrates per year.  TVA discontinued the operations in 1982
  because world-wide production of uranium concentrates exceeded demand and
  it cost less to purchase from inventoried uranium stocks than to mine and
  mill.  A total of 14.5 million pounds of uranium concentrates had been
  produced through the mill over its operating life.


  Termination of Tennessee Valley Authority Agreements

       In 1984 the Company acquired the uranium  mill and associated lands
  from the partnership, and it also acquired approximately one-half of the
  uranium lands it had jointly held and explored with TVA.  These lands,
  consisting of approximately 2,700 acres of uranium properties, are known

                                                      PAGE 4

  as the Peach properties.  In May 1994 when the Company discontinued
  business, the Peach properties were the Company's only principal asset.
  They were subject to a mortgage held by Cycle Resource Investment
  Corporation (CRIC), which commenced foreclosure in November 1995.  The
  Company subsequently lost title to the Peach properties as a result of
  that foreclosure and the transfer of its equity of redemption.

       In 1984 TVA also placed approximately $3.8 million cash in a $4.1
  million reclamation bond fund with the Wyoming Department of
  Environmental Quality (DEQ) to assure the DEQ and the U.S. Nuclear
  Regulatory Commission (NRC) that the reclamation obligations of TVA, the
  Company and the partnership for the mill site would ultimately be
  performed.  The Company began reclamation of the land at the mill site in
  1984.  TVA also entered into a management agreement with the Company
  under which, in exchange for management fees, the Company closed the
  mining operations, returned leased mining equipment, and sold the other
  mining equipment for TVA's account.  The Company's entire financial
  obligation to TVA for the Company's cost of acquiring and exploring its
  interests in the uranium properties was eliminated.


  Status of Uranium Business

       After the Tennessee Valley Authority terminated its mining
  activities in 1982 that were conducted through the Company's partnership
  called Federal American Partners, the Company has ceased to be engaged in
  mining or milling uranium.  The Company identified significant quantities
  of uranium resources in the ground among its uranium properties, but
  market prices were never adequate thereafter to enable the properties to
  be economically mined.  The market for uranium remained low, and it was
  still not economically feasible to mine the Company's uranium properties
  at those prices.  Imports of foreign uranium at low prices, especially
  from Russia and Canada, and excess inventories of uranium were the
  primary factors that dampened prices to a low of approximately $7.15 per
  pound in 1991.  In 1993 and 1994, spot prices for short-term deliveries
  of uranium were approximately $9.50 per pound.  In efforts to generate
  working capital, the Company, during the fourth quarter of 1993, offered
  its mineral properties for sale.  No purchase offers that exceeded the
  CRIC debt against the properties were received.  Therefore, in May 1994
  the Company discontinued all its business operations due to lack of
  operating capital.  For a more complete discussion of the uranium
  properties formerly held by the Company, see Item 2, Properties.


  Reclamation of Mill Site and Tailings Ponds

       Based upon the Company's determination in 1988 that use in the
  future of its uranium processing mill would not comply with the revised
  licensing requirements of the NRC, the Company began demolition of the
  mill in 1988 and completed that work in 1989.  Before the Company's
  discontinuance of operations in 1994, the Company had undertaken
  substantial reclamation work on the mill site as required by the NRC and
  the DEQ.  The mill and associated buildings were dismantled and the
  building materials were buried in one of the two adjacent tailings ponds
  where the processed ores produced by the mill (mill tailings) were
  impounded after milling.  The mill tailings in the two impoundments were
  graded by earth moving equipment into mounds covering approximately 40
  and 80 acres respectively.  A cover of native earth was placed over the





  <PAGE>
                                                      PAGE 5

  mounds of mill tailings, and the tailings piles were allowed to settle
  and compact naturally.  The reclamation work is not complete and includes
  filling and shaping the side slopes of the tailings piles to such a grade
  as to preclude erosion of the soil cover that would allow erosion of the
  tailings, placing a final cover of earth over the tailings to limit
  emission of radon gas into the atmosphere to meet Environmental
  Protection Agency (EPA) standards, applying erosion protection to the
  piles and associated drainages, and revegetating and fencing the site.


  Byproduct Material Disposal

       Starting in 1990 the Company shifted most of its efforts to a
  developing industry of byproduct material disposal.  Byproduct material
  consists of waste generated from ores processed by others for their
  uranium or thorium content.  Federal regulations require the generators
  of these low level radioactive materials to dispose of them in licensed
  depositories.

       In part because the Company's mill site was undergoing reclamation
  work to stabilize the mill tailings, which are low level radioactive
  materials, the NRC initially granted permission in the fall of 1990 for
  the Company to accept byproduct materials totaling 1,100 cubic yards from
  four generators under four specific waste disposal contracts.  After the
  NRC authorized receipt of the initial byproduct material, the NRC amended
  the Company's license in September of 1991 to authorize it to receive and
  dispose of an additional 12,500 cubic yards of material from other
  sources.

       The material terms of the disposal contracts that were completed by
  the Company required the generator of the byproduct materials to deliver
  them to the Company's mill site.  The byproduct material was placed on
  the surface of the mill tailings impoundment number one, compacted and
  covered with an interim cover of native soils.  The addition of the
  byproduct materials reduced the volume of earthen fill material that
  ultimately must be placed on the mill tailings to meet the reclamation
  design requirements.

       The income received on account of past disposal contracts generated
  revenues for the Company of $322,624, $318,814, and $120,352 from
  operations  in 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.  These contracts were
  completed, and there were no disposal revenues in 1994 or thereafter.

       During May 1994 the Company notified the NRC and the DEQ that it was
  discontinuing all business operations and would be unable to perform
  under the approved reclamation plan.  All byproduct disposal activities,
  which had been conducted as part of the approved reclamation work, were
  discontinued at that time.


  Abandonment of Efforts to License Commercial Byproduct Disposal

       During 1993 the Company abandoned its efforts to obtain new licenses
  from the NRC and DEQ to establish a commercial byproduct disposal
  business near its mill site that was undergoing reclamation.  In order to
  complete the environmental studies required for the new licenses,
  continue to pursue its license applications, and take other steps for
  opening such a business, the Company sought to raise $5 million to $8
  million through private placements of its common stock.  When this effort




  <PAGE>
                                                      PAGE 6

  proved unsuccessful in 1993, the Company terminated further efforts to
  enter the commercial byproduct disposal business.


  Termination of Byproduct Disposal and Discontinuance of Business

       The Company did not realize adequate revenues from its byproduct
  disposal business commenced in 1990 to fund its operations.  Since 1991
  the Company relied for a large part of its operating capital upon loans
  by Cycle Resource Investment Corporation (CRIC), holder of approximately
  30 percent of the Company's outstanding stock.  The Company was unable to
  obtain additional loans from CRIC or any other source after 1993.  The
  Company's efforts to raise capital by placement of its common stock were
  unsuccessful.  The Company was not able to obtain joint ventures or
  long-term supply contracts for exploitation of its uranium properties in
  the future when market prices for uranium were expected to be higher.

       In efforts to repay its loan to CRIC and to raise additional capital
  to continue its reclamation work over the next several years as required
  by law, the Company in 1993 offered its uranium properties for sale.
  Through May 1994, several prospective buyers expressed interest in
  purchasing the uranium properties, but no purchase offers were received
  that were greater than the CRIC debt.  The uranium properties could not
  be sold under those circumstances.

       Due to the lack of a sale of its uranium properties and limited
  operating capital, the Company was compelled to discontinue all business
  operations during May 1994.  At the time the Company discontinued
  business operations, it was unable to continue required reclamation work
  at the level required by law.  The DEQ declared the Company in default of
  its reclamation obligations and began reclamation bond forfeiture
  proceedings against the Company.  These proceedings resulted in
  forfeiture of the bond fund of $3,213,255 to the State of Wyoming in
  October 1994.  The Company expects that reclamation of the mill site will
  ultimately be performed by the DEQ to the extent of the available funds.
  The state of Wyoming has assumed certain NRC license obligations under
  conditions that limit its ultimate liability.  The Company will continue
  to be the licensee and responsible for all NRC license monitoring
  requirements.  By statute the DEQ may hold the company liable for any
  reclamation costs incurred by the DEQ in excess of the forfeited bond
  amount.  The total reclamation cost for which the Company remains
  obligated will not be known for several years until reclamation work is
  completed.


  Financial Information About Industry Segments

       In 1991 the Company entered into the business of uranium byproduct
  material disposal.  Between 1982 and that time, the Company's only
  Business was winding down its former mining operations with the
  partnership and TVA and maintaining its uranium properties with the
  intent of eventually producing uranium concentrate.

       Before it discontinued its business operations in May 1994, the
  Company had no foreign operations or export sales.  It had not segregated
  its business activities into geographic areas within the United States
  except to the extent that its operations were located within Wyoming.

  Potential Unasserted Reclamation Liabilities

       The Company's reclamation work and its discontinued byproduct
  materials disposal business activities were and are highly regulated by
  the NRC and Wyoming DEQ, which have licensing authority and jurisdiction.
  The Company's reclamation fund of $3,213,255 was declared forfeited by
  the DEQ in 1994 and acquired by the DEQ to be applied to the reclamation
  costs of the mill site.  Even though the Company discontinued its
  business operations in May 1994, it remains liable for completion of the
  reclamation and the cost of any reclamation work that is not funded by
  the bond fund and other funds of the Company transferred to the state of
  Wyoming.


  Employees

       As of December 31, 2001, the Company had no employees.


  Item 2.  Properties
  -------  ----------

      The Company has no property holdings.  The Peach properties
  previously held by the Company consisted of unpatented mining claims
  located on the public domain of the United States in the Gas Hills area
  of central Wyoming.  The Company had been unable to mine the properties
  or sell them to another uranium producer because of the continued low
  market price for uranium.

       The Peach properties, which were previously the Company's major
  asset, were subject to a mortgage given to secure a loan made by Cycle
  Resource Investment Corporation (CRIC).  The Company was unable to pay
  the loan, and in 1995 CRIC instituted foreclosure against the Peach
  properties.  The foreclosure sale was held in November 1995, and  CRIC
  was the high bidder at the foreclosure sale, bidding the principal loan
  amount of $2,031,200 plus interest and costs.  In 1996, before the end of
  the Company's right to redeem the properties from foreclosure for a total
  redemption price of approximately $3,000,000, which would have finally
  terminated all interest of the Company in the Peach properties, the
  Company transferred its interest in the properties, including its right
  to redemption, for approximately $146,000.


  Item 3.     Legal Proceedings.

  statements of the Company referred to in Item 14)


  Discontinuation of Operations

       The Company's efforts to sell its mining properties, starting in
  1993, were unsuccessful, preventing it from raising operating capital




  <PAGE>
                                                      PAGE 10

  necessary to continue in business.  As a result, the Company discontinued
  business operations in May 1994.  Inability to sell its properties and
  lack of capital and revenues deprived the Company of operating capital.
  The Company determined to discontinue operations during May 1994 and to
  liquidate its miscellaneous property and to pay a portion of its current
  liabilities and other expenses associated with an orderly closing of
  business operations.  These financial statements have been prepared on a
  liquidation basis.


  Results of Operations

       The Company applied, under the Title X federal program administered
  by the (DOE), for reimbursement of some of the expenses of reclamation
  work it has previously performed to clean up its mining and milling site.
  The Company's claims are for approximately $901,000 of which the Company
  received $13,518, $107,380, $45,671, $115,670, $119,676, $175,555, and
  $229,707, during 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
  respectively.  Under the prevailing law and agreements with the Wyoming
  DEQ, and under the terms of the license and order of the U.S. Nuclear
  Regulatory Commission that requires the Company to continue to monitor
  the site, the funds and any future funds that may be received under this
  program will be applied by the Wyoming DEQ and the Company to reclamation
  and ongoing monitoring and maintenance obligations over the next several
  years.  None of the money will be applied to claims of creditors, and no
  funds will be available for distribution to shareholders because the
  reclamation obligations are projected to exceed any of the funds that
  become available.  The DEQ has notified the Company that the reclamation
  bond may be deficient by as much as $3 million.  The DEQ has statutory
  authority to sue the Company for the bond deficiency.  The DEQ has
  entered into an agreement with the Company providing that the state will
  not bring a deficiency action in court if the Company transfers Title X
  funds to the state to be applied to the deficiency and used by the state
  to perform reclamation.  The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), which had
  asserted a right to the funds based on its 1984 contract with the
  Company, released the Company from such claims due to an agreement
  between TVA and the state. The agreement between the Company and DEQ
  provides that the Company and DEQ will use the DOE Title X funds
  primarily toward monitoring and reclamation of the mill site in
  accordance with the NRC reclamation plan.

       During 1995 CRIC foreclosed upon the Company's Peach properties for
  non-payment of its $2,031,200 loan.  The loan plus accrued interest
  totaled approximately $3,000,000 at November 28,1996, the end of the one
  year redemption period the Company had to reacquire the properties.

       General and administrative expenses decreased approximately 52%
  during 2001 and approximately 4% during 2000.  These expenses are
  expected to remain at this level of activity in the future years to come.

       In December 1993, the Company determined that its decision to sell
  its primary uranium properties rather that hold the properties for future
  potential development required greater consideration be given to in-
  ground market values and the Company's financial position.  The Company
  determined its range of potential loss for the mineral properties to be
  from approximately $3 million to approximately $7 million.  Because of
  the Company's continuing process to solicit bids for its mineral
  properties, the lack of an active market for in-ground uranium reserves,
  and uncertainties as to the ultimate intent of the major shareholder,




  <PAGE>
                                                      PAGE 11

  management was unable to determine at that time whether any amount in
  that range provided a better estimate than any other amount.  Therefore,
  in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting
  Standards No. (Statement) 5, Accounting for Contingencies, a $3 million
  property impairment was recognized during 1993 which represents a 31%
  reduction in the mineral property valuation at December 31, 1993.  In
  March 1994, after the Company's efforts to sell the uranium properties
  failed, the uranium properties were written down to the amount of the
  CRIC notes, for which the uranium properties were collateral.  Management
  determined that a $4,200,000 write-down in the carrying value of the
  Company's uranium properties was warranted.  The valuation of the uranium
  properties at approximately $2.2 million equaled the $2.2 million debt
  obligations to CRIC.  CRIC commenced foreclosure upon the properties
  during 1995.  During 1996 the Company sold its redemption rights for
  approximately $146,000 since it had no way of repaying the outstanding
  debt.

       On August 31, 1994 the Company abandoned, through non-payment of the
  $100 per claim annual rental fees due on that date, 500 mining claims
  with a remaining book value of zero.  During December 1993 and March
  1994, mineral property impairments of $3 million and $4.2 million,
  respectively, for the remaining mining claims were recorded.  After 1994
  the Company no longer had any property holdings.

       Reclamation reimbursements of $13,519, $107,380, $45,671, $115,670,
  $119,721, $175,555 and $229,707 were received from the DOE during 2001,
  2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.


  Liquidity and Capital Resources

       During 1994 the Company discontinued operations due to the lack of
  operating capital.  For financial reporting purposes the Company has
  offset its $219,000 contractual obligations towards incompleted byproduct
  disposal contracts and $173,000 obligation to third parties for payments
  they made to the Wyoming DEQ upon the reclamation bond forfeiture.

       These liabilities totaling $392,000 were recognized as income
  because the Company has no means to repay the obligations under
  liquidation basis accounting.  The remaining Company cash deposits are
  being utilized to maintain compliance as long as possible with the NRC
  license requirements.  The state of Wyoming declared the Company in
  default of its reclamation obligations when the Company terminated its
  business operations in May 1994.  Subsequently the reclamation bond fund
  of $3,213,255 was acquired by the DEQ through forfeiture proceedings.
  The bond fund had been funded in the full amount fixed by the DEQ, and
  approved by the NRC, as the entire cost of completing the required
  reclamation work and performing under the Company's license.  The
  reclamation requirements have been changed and the amount required to
  perform the reclamation under the new requirements increased.  By state
  of Wyoming statute, the Company is liable for any cost overruns, none of
  which exist at this time.  The Company expects to be able to continue in
  compliance with the licensing requirements through 2003.

       The Company's working capital at December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999
  was $87,000, $93,000, and $46,000,respectively. The increases in working
  capital are due to the DOE reclamation reimbursements which will be used
  for ongoing monitoring and general and administrative costs incurred by
  the Company.

       During the past three years the Company has relied upon the payment
  of funds from the DOE Title X reclamation reimbursements to continue the
  required ongoing reclamation and monitoring obligations of the Company.

       On August 24, 1993, the Company reached an agreement with Cycle
  Resource Investment Corporation (CRIC), a stockholder, for CRIC to
  increase its total loans to $2,031,200.  The Company was not able to
  repay the notes on August 31, 1993 when due.  On January 20, 1994, the
  payment date for this $2,031,200 debt plus approximately $143,000 in
  accrued interest was extended to June 30, 1994.  CRIC foreclosed upon the
  Company's Peach properties in the approximate amount of $2,750,000 during
  1995.  Since the Company was not able to sell the properties prior to the
  extended due date of the notes on June 30, 1994, and had no other funds
  to continue as a going concern, the Company was unable to prevent
  foreclosure of the Peach properties.  The remaining Company cash deposits
  are being utilized to maintain compliance, as long as possible, with the
  NRC license monitoring requirements.  During 1996 the Company sold its
  redemption rights related to the Peach mineral properties for
  approximately $146,000.

  AMERICAN NUCLEAR CORPORATION
  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001
  (Unaudited), 2000 (Unaudited), AND 1999 (Unaudited)


  1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Liquidation Basis of Presentation
  ---------------------------------

       The accompanying unaudited 2001, 2000 and 1999 financial statements
  have been prepared on a liquidation basis, which recognized the
  realization of assets and the satisfaction of a portion of the
  liabilities during 2001, 2000 and 1999.  The statements of operations and
  retained earnings and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001,
  2000 and 1999 are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all
  adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
  necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

     As of December 31, 2001 the Company's current assets exceed current
  liabilities by approximately $86,939.  The Company's current assets are
  reserved for general and administrative expenses, site reclamation and
  mill site monitoring.

       For financial reporting purposes the Company has offset its $219,000
  contractual obligations towards uncompleted byproduct disposal contracts
  and $173,000 obligation to third parties for payments they made to the
  Wyoming DEQ upon the reclamation bond forfeiture.  These liabilities
  totaling $392,000 were recognized as income during 1995 because the
  company has no way of repaying the obligations under liquidation basis
  accounting.  The remaining Company cash deposits are being utilized to
  maintain compliance with the NRC license requirements as long as
  possible.


  Per Share Amounts
  -----------------

       Per share amounts are computed on the weighted-average number of
  shares outstanding during the respective periods.  Shares under option
  and warrants have been disregarded because their effect is
  anti-dilutive.


  Major Customer
  ----------------

       The Company had no customers in 2001, 2000 and 1999.


  Statement of Cash Flows
  -----------------------
       For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers
  all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of
  three months or less to be cash equivalents.

  Reclamation of Mill Site and Tailings Ponds
  -------------------------------------------

       Liabilities for estimated reclamation costs are recognized and
  charged to operations for remedial activities when the cleanup becomes
  probable and the cost can be reasonable estimated.  Based upon the
  Company's determination that use in the future of its uranium processing
  mill would not comply with the revised licensing requirements of the
  Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Company began demolition of the
  mill in 1988 and completed that work in 1989.  Since then the Company has
  undertaken substantial reclamation work on the mill site as required by
  the NRC and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).  The
  mill and associated buildings have been dismantled and the building
  materials buried in one of the two adjacent tailings ponds where the
  processed ores produced by the mill (mill tailings) were impounded after
  milling.  The mill tailings in the two impoundments have been graded by
  earth moving equipment into mounds covering approximately 40 and 80 acres
  respectively.  A cover of native earth has been placed over the mounds of
  mill tailings, and the tailings piles are being allowed to settle and
  compact naturally.  The remaining reclamation work consists of filling
  and shaping the side slopes of the tailings piles to such a grade as to
  preclude soil erosion and exposure of the tailings, placing a final cover
  of earth over the tailings to limit emission of radon gas into the
  atmosphere to meet Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards,
  applying erosion protection to the piles and associated drainages, and
  revegetating and fencing the site.

       When the Company discontinued business operations, the DEQ began
  reclamation bond forfeiture proceedings against the Company.  These
  proceedings resulted in bond forfeiture in October 1994.  The reclamation
  of the mill site will now be performed by the DEQ to the extent of the
  available funds.  The Company continues to be responsible for all NRC
  license requirements until such time as the license is terminated or
  transferred to another responsible entity by the NRC.  The state of
  Wyoming has indicated that it will not assume the NRC license, but will
  consent to certain reclamation obligations.  By statute the DEQ may
  recover reclamation costs in excess of the bonded amount from the
  Company.  The total reclamation cost will not be known for several years
  but the State has notified the Company that a potential $3 million cost
  overrun may exist and the Company remains liable for any costs in excess
  of the reclamation deposit.


  2.  INCOME TAXES.

       The Company adopted Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, as
  of January 1, 1993.  There was no cumulative effect of this change in
  accounting for income taxes.  Prior years' financial statements have not
  been restated to apply the provisions of Statement 109.

       At December 31, 2001 the Company had approximately $10.4 million of
  net operating loss carryovers which expire during 2000 through 2014.  The
  future utilization of net operating loss carry-overs are subject to rules
  and regulations of the Internal Revenue Service which could prevent
  utilization of the net operating loss and carry-overs.


  3.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

       The Company's authorized common stock consists of 25,000,000 shares
  of $.04 par value common stock.  Changes in common stock issued and
