Pure Cycle Corporation Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2007 Financial Results

THORNTON, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Pure Cycle Corporation (the "Company") (NASDAQ: PCYO) announced today it posted a net loss of approximately $5.2 million ($.28 per share) on revenues of approximately $178,100 for the nine months ended May 31, 2007. This compares to a net loss of approximately $713,700 ($.05 per share) on revenues of approximately $188,200 for the nine months ended May 31, 2006. The increased loss is mainly attributable to the following:

    --  Approximately $3.5 million of imputed interest expense related
        to the "Tap Participation Fees payable to HP A&M," which the
        Company began expensing on September 1, 2006 and described in
        greater detail in the Company's Form 10-Q filed with the SEC
        today;

    --  Approximately $265,000 of additional depreciation and
        depletion charges related mainly to the depreciation of the
        Arkansas River Valley assets and the assets constructed to
        provide water to the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds which were
        not being depreciated in fiscal 2006;

    --  Approximately $224,000 of expenses related to stock options
        recorded pursuant to SFAS 123(R);

    --  Approximately $188,000 of additional expenses related to
        payment of the Fort Lyon Canal Company water assessment fees,
        which is explained in greater detail in the May 31, 2007 Form
        10-Q;

    --  Approximately $186,000 of additional professional fees related
        to the High Plains asset acquisition and the SEC review
        process; and

    --  Approximately $63,000 of additional franchise fees payable to
        the State of Delaware which are a result of the increased
        asset values due to the High Plains asset acquisition on
        August 31, 2006.

The Company will host a conference call to discuss these results on Thursday July 12, 2007. Details of the call and additional financial highlights are below.
