Selected Consolidated Financial and Operating Information

The selected consolidated financial and operating information presented below should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis" and the consolidated financial statements, notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in this Annual Information Form. The selected consolidated financial information for each of the five fiscal years ended December 31 is derived from the consolidated financial statements of Cameco which have been examined and reported upon by KPMG Chartered Accountants. The two year comparative by quarter financial information presented below is derived from unaudited interim financial statements and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial information for such periods. The results for any quarterly period within a fiscal year may not be indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.

The consolidated financial statements of Cameco have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("Canadian GAAP"), which differs in certain respects from United States generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP"). For a reconciliation of net earnings, assets and shareholders' equity to US GAAP, see Note 27 to Cameco's Consolidated Financial Statements, attached as Appendix A.
