PART I
ITEM 1 - Business
- -----------------
Excalibur Industries is a Utah corporation formed by the consolidation of Tower
Enterprises (formerly Moab Uranium Company) and The Thrifty Helper on June 1,
1971. In January 1972, Excalibur purchased all of the issued and outstanding
shares of capital stock of Mountain West Mines, Inc., a Nevada corporation,
which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Excalibur.
Excalibur Industries' business is natural resources and is primarily involved in
the uranium mining industry. The domestic uranium outlook is suffering its most
depressed state in its history. Current open market prices for yellow cake are
at all time lows and uranium production in the United States has all but
disappeared. The majority of the major mines and their United States producers
have closed and abandoned the industry. Excalibur throughout this period has
been able to maintain its royalty position in the most valuable of its uranium
reserves located in the Powder River District of Wyoming.
With the limited resources available to Excalibur, it is not in a position to
actively participate in a mining program and must rely on its lease owners and
an improved market.

POWDER RIVER BASIN-WYOMING
- --------------------------
A. Pathfinder Mines Corp. (Parent Company COGEMA-France)
Pathfinder is one of the few moderately active in the United States
uranium industry and represents the most promising of Excalibur's
lessees for a possible near-term mining operation. Pathfinder currently
holds two projects in which Excalibur retains royalty interests: (1)
North Butte and Greasewood Creek, and (2) Brown-TVA.
(1) North Butte-Greasewood Creek
Excalibur retains a 4% yellow cake royalty of which some $1,300,000
advance royalty has been paid. This royalty credit is restricted to
these two deposits and only a minor production payment has been made.
Excalibur retains the right of reassignment. Pathfinder has prepared
the North Butte deposit for a solution mining program. State and
Federal E. P. A. permits have been secured and an engineering
feasibility study completed. No start up date has been announced.

(2) Brown-TVA
Excalibur retains a 2 1/2% yellow cake royalty on a portion of a
deposit that extends beyond North Butte's claim boundaries. This
uranium reserve is a geological extension of the North Butte deposit
and will add significantly to the poundage of the overall project.
B. Power Resources, Inc. (Parent Company-Central Electricity Generating
Board- England, subsequently reported purchased by CAMECO Corporation
of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada).
Power Resources has been acquiring uranium properties in the Powder
River Basin, most notably the formerly Exxon-Highland Mine. Power
Resources is currently producing uranium from the Highland project.
Power Resources has challenged Excalibur's royalty position. Hopefully,
this will not require a judicial resolution.

POWDER RIVER BASIN-WYOMING (Continued)
- --------------------------------------
Excalibur's North Bing and Four Mile deposits are under lease to Power
Resources and are designated as the Ruby Ranch project. Excalibur
retains a 4% yellow cake royalty with the right of reassignment.
Power Resources has conducted hydrological well monitoring studies on
the Four Mile deposit. Production activity is not expected in the near
future.
The Ruby Ranch project area has approximately 3,800 acres and several
million pounds of reserves.
C. Quivira Mining Company (Parent Company Rio Algom - Canada)
Rio Algom is recognized as a world-class producer of uranium and has
respected engineering expertise in uranium property development.
Quivira Mining Co. acquired several claim blocks totaling some 5,000
acres. Each of these claim blocks have established uranium occurrences
but none have been subjected to extensive drilling evaluation.
Excalibur retains a variable overriding royalty which ranges from 2% to
6% yellow cake with the right of reassignment. Quivira has performed
necessary assignment requirements and no development project has been
announced.
D. Other uranium properties held by Mountain West and/or Excalibur are not
considered by Management to be significant. They are under lease to
others and no production royalties are being received and no minimum
payments are required of Lessees.
SILVER REPORT
Excalibur owns approximately 162 acres of patented lode mining claims in Ouray
County, Colorado.
BUSINESS
Excalibur is natural resource oriented. In the past its activities have
consisted of acquisition and sale of mineral properties. The Corporation's
resources are extremely limited for a corporation of this character. Under the
present depressed market conditions it has no alternative but to await a change.
At the present time the corporation is inactive, except for overseeing it's
leases and maintaining corporate viability.
ITEM 2 - Properties
- -------------------
Mountain West Mines, Inc. (Mountain West) a wholly owned subsidiary of
Excalibur, owns a royalty interest in approximately 85 patented lode mining
claims, and 8 unpatented lode mining claims in the Powder River Basin in Johnson
and Campbell Counties, Wyoming. These properties had capitalized costs of
$347,032, and are directly related to the

ITEM 2 - Properties (Continued)
- -------------------------------
advance royalties received from Cliffs as described in Item 1 of this Form 10-K.
The extent of any ore bodies and related possible production royalties is not
determinable at this time. The Board of Directors had determined, however, that
a more realistic value should be placed on the books for financial reporting and
elected to reduce the reported value for financial statement purposes to
$100,000.
In January 1987, Cleveland-Cliffs offered at public sale the 85 patented claims
known as the North Butte and Greasewood Creek Deposits for $3,000,000. On April
7, 1987 Uranerz, U.S.A., a Colorado corporation based in Denver, purchased the
claim blocks along with the remaining portion of Mountain West Mines Inc.
advance royalty credit.

Greasewood Creek Patent - 49-75-0068 646.596 acres
Surface acres 0.000 acres
In May 1991, Pathfinder Mines, Inc., subsidiary of COGEMA-France, purchased the
85 patent claim block from Uranerz, U.S.A. Excalibur retains a 4% yellow cake
royalty of which approximately $1,300,000 has been paid as an advance royalty
payment and represents a credit restricted to future production from the 85
claim block. Right of reassignment is also retained.
In May, 1986, Cliffs conveyed to Central Electricity Generating Board
Exploration, Inc., who then conveyed to Power Resources, Inc., its wholly owned
subsidiary, 800 Werner Court, Suite 230, Casper, Wyoming 82601, 63.688 acres of
patented claims and 12 unpatented lode mining claims, subject to Mountain West
Mines, Inc.,'s 4% earned royalty and right of reassignment.
In July, 1983, Cliffs quitclaimed 436 unpatented lode mining claims and 1,042
net acres of fee mineral leases to Texas Eastern Nuclear, Inc. of Houston,
Texas. In August, 1986, Texas Eastern Nuclear, Inc. reassigned said properties
to Mountain West, who, in turn, conveyed and assigned its interest in said
property to Everest Minerals, subject to a variable overriding royalty
reservation which ranges from 2 to 6%. Everest Minerals determined to abandon a
portion of the property and offered to reconvey it to Mountain West. Mountain
West has since abandoned said property.
On June 28, 1990, Everest Minerals sold the remaining 270 claims to Quivira
Mining Company, 6305 Waterford Boulevard, Suite 325, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
73ll8, a subsidiary of Rio Algom Ltd., a Canadian based world producer of
uranium and other metals. Excalibur retains the right of reassignment along with
a variable overriding yellow cake royalty reservation of 2% to 6%.
As the result of a compromise and settlement with Utah International (now
Pathfinder), the Company has a 4% yellow cake royalty in 393 claims and the
right to the return of the claims in the event Utah International (Pathfinder)
elects to abandon the property. Seventy-five of these claims were recently
transferred to Uranerz, U.S.A. by Pathfinder.

ITEM 2 - Properties (Continued)
- -------------------------------
On August 5, 1991, Pathfinder Mines, Inc., 255 Glendale Avenue, Suite 26,
Sparks, Nevada 89431, a subsidiary of COGEMA-France, abandoned the 75 claims
recently acquired in the Uranerz, U.S.A. agreement. Excalibur has no continuing
interest in their project.
In 1973, Mountain West sold mineral rights on approximately 14,000 acres of
mining claims in Campbell and Johnson Counties, Wyoming to American Nuclear
Corporation. Mountain West reserved a royalty interest of 2 1/2% of the value of
uranium ores produced from these claims at the mine mouth, or of the gross
proceeds from the sale of recovered U308 if processed by American Nuclear or its
assignees. The properties retained by American Nuclear Corporation are now a
part of the joint venture between American Nuclear Corporation and the Tennessee
Valley Authority. The Corporation has no control over management or production
from these properties. On May 31, 1986, there were approximately 6,640 acres
held by American Nuclear and its associates. In June, 1986 TVA conveyed 97 of
the claims to Mountain West. In March, 1987, TVA reassigned an additional 62
claims to Mountain West who, in turn, abandoned said claims. TVA offered to
reassign 25 claims to Mountain West in January 1989, but Mountain West elected
not to take a reassignment.
At public auction in 1991 TVA sold this project along with their entire holdings
in the area to General Atomic. In August 1992, General Atomic sold said same
project to Pathfinder Mines, Inc. Excalibur retains a 2 1/2% yellow cake royalty
and the right of reassignment. This project area is designated Brown-TVA.
Excalibur owns patented mining claims in Ouray County, Colorado with capitalized
costs of $8,533. These properties were purchased as silver prospects and are not
active.

ITEM 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations
- -------------
Excalibur Industries experienced substantial fluctuations in its consolidated
net income over the past several years. The Company maintained its mineral
properties and interest throughout that period of fluctuation despite a large
drain on its financial resources. Management is now working to retain as much of
its mineral rights and interests as possible, considering its limited resources
and the depressed market conditions.
Quivira Mining Co. advance payments ended with the May, 1992 payment, after
which time no additional payments will be received until production commences.
Other than interest income, no other continuing material cash inflows are known
to Management or anticipated at this time, based on current agreements.
The Board of Directors has adopted a policy designed to husband its resources
and retain as much of its mineral interests as possible, taking into account the
depressed market for minerals and the Company's limited resources.
The consolidated financial statements contained herein under ITEM 8 should be
read in conjunction with this ITEM 7, with particular emphasis on the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. Additional information pertaining to the
fluctuation of the Company's income and expenses is detailed.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- ---------------------------------------------------
Consolidation
-------------
The consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts
of Excalibur Industries (Excalibur) and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Mountain West Mines, Inc., (Mountain West), a Nevada corporation, qualified
to do business in the states of Utah and Wyoming. All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated from these statements.
Mining Properties and Interests
-------------------------------
Mining claims, leases, and royalty interests are stated at cost, unless in
the judgement of the Directors a lesser amount is felt to be more
appropriate due to a permanent decline in value. No depletion has been
charged against income for financial statement purposes, but is deducted
for Federal income tax purposes when allowable. The full carrying value is
charged against income at the time of sale or disposition of an asset. If a
perpetual overriding royalty is retained the recorded costs of the asset
are treated the same for financial statement purposes as for income tax
purposes and are not reduced in value until production royalties are
received.
Depreciable Property and Equipment
----------------------------------
Depreciable property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation for
income tax purposes is consistent with that used for financial statement
purposes and has been computed using the straight-line method.
Deferred Income Taxes
---------------------
Deferred income taxes are provided as a result of timing differences in
reporting income for financial statement and tax purposes. Currently no
deferred income taxes payable (or receivable) are recognized.
Earnings Per Share
------------------
Earnings per share of common stock are computed using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Primary and full
diluted earnings per share are shown as the same figure if the dilative
effect of any common stock equivalents or convertible securities are less
than three percent. The Company currently has no dilative equivalents.
Note 2 - Mining Properties and Interests
- ----------------------------------------
Uranium
-------
The Company owns various royalty and other interests in patented and
unpatented mining claims and mineral leased acreage, located in the Powder
River Basin, Johnson and Campbell Counties, Wyoming. Future earned
royalties are subject to offset by the amount of certain advance minimum
royalty revenues. These properties were assigned a value of $347,032
following the acquisition of Mountain West by Excalibur. Various acreage
has been dropped during the past years as such acreage was determined to be
of no value. The capitalized costs of these properties have been
reallocated to the remaining acreage still retained by the Company. The
Board of Directors determined that a more realistic value should be placed
on the books and elected to reduce the reporting value for financial
statement purposes by $247,032.

Note 4 - Income Taxes
- ---------------------
Currently, no deferred income taxes payable (or receivable) are recognized
as a result of timing differences in reporting income for financial
accounting and tax purposes.
Deferred income taxes on unrealized losses in the amount of $247,032 due to
the reduction in value of royalty interests has not been recognized in the
financial statements due to the uncertainty of any future tax benefit.
Likewise, deferred income taxes are not affected as a result of statutory
depletion deductions taken for tax purposes.
