NOTE 2 - Mineral Properties

On February 27, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the common shares of Tournigan USA, Inc (“TUSA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tournigan Energy, Ltd. (“Tournigan Energy”). As consideration for this transaction, the Company issued Tournigan Energy an interest-free promissory note in the amount of $325,327. In addition, the Company agreed to secure the release of, or reimburse Tournigan Energy for, the existing reclamation bonds on the properties in the amount of $930,000, less any applicable reclamation costs. The Company granted Tournigan Energy a 30% carried interest on each of the existing properties up to the completion of a feasibility study for any project encompassing any of these properties. At that point, Tournigan Energy could elect to convert its interest into a 30% contributing working interest or allow its interest to dilute to a 5% net profits interest.

The Company delivered a promissory note in the amount of $325,327 to Tournigan Energy. This note represented the amount paid by Tournigan Energy for the then current year’s Federal mineral claim maintenance fees along with working capital adjustments on the closing date. In addition to this note, the Company agreed to secure the release of reclamation bonds in the amount of $930,000 less any applicable reclamation costs. As of April 30, 2012, the deposit for reclamation bonds has been reduced to $35,000.

Both the promissory note to Tournigan Energy and the release of the reclamation bonds were unsecured, non-interest-bearing and were due August 31, 2009. The due date of the promissory note was extended to December 15, 2009. In a further agreement dated December 14, 2009, Tournigan Energy agreed to reduce the promissory note to $100,000 with payment of this amount on December 15, 2009. This payment was made by Fischer-Watt and the promissory note was extinguished.

Tournigan Energy also extended the repayment date of the first $530,000 of the reclamation bonds to December 15, 2009 and the repayment of the remaining $400,000, less the cost of the reclamation work, to September 30, 2010. Tournigan Energy agreed to accept a payment of $100,000 on December 15, 2009 as part payment of the $530,000 installment of the reclamation bond due on that date. The balance of $400,000, less the cost of reclamation work was to be paid from one half of subsequent equity share issues of common stock of the Company until paid in full. The $100,000 payment was made to Tournigan Energy as scheduled.

On December 22, 2010, Fischer-Watt paid Tournigan Energy $130,000 as a payment on its outstanding debt.

At April 30, 2011, after completion of reclamation, the balance due to Tournigan Energy was $600,000. This amount was to be repaid from one-half of the proceeds (net of issuance costs) of all equity share issues of common stock of the Company until Tournigan Energy has been paid in full.

On July 13, 2011, the Company renegotiated its debt and property interests with Tournigan Energy concerning its uranium properties in the western United States. Tournigan Energy agreed to defer receipt of its debt and property interests by converting these Company liabilities to a two percent (2%) net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty interest on uranium properties within the Company’s current areas of work.

Pursuant to the renegotiated terms between the Company and Tournigan Energy:

a) Tournigan Energy forgave the $600,000 payable by the Company;

b) Tournigan Energy converted its interests in the Company’s properties to a two percent (2%) NSR royalty up to a maximum of $10,000,000;

c) The Company is entitled to buy back up to one-half of this royalty for $3,000,000 at any time up to July 13, 2016, and thereby reduce the remaining royalty to a one percent (1%) NSR royalty capped at $5,000,000;

d) The NSR royalty will apply to any uranium production by the Company in the Wyoming counties of Carbon, Fremont, Sublette and Sweetwater, and the South Dakota county of Fall River. These are all areas where the Company currently holds uranium property interests.

This transaction has been approved by the TSX Venture Exchange, as Tournigan Energy is listed in Toronto on the TSX Venture Exchange.

The transaction described above relating to the acquisition of TUSA was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with SFAS No. 141R (ASC Topic 805). A summary of the transaction is presented below:

Subsequent to the acquisition of TUSA, the Company evaluated its new holdings, and determined that the carrying value of the mineral rights exceeded their net realizable value. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $309,500 for the year ended January 31, 2010.
