PART I Item 1. Description of Business General Pure Cycle Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware in 1976. The Company is engaged in providing water and wastewater services to customers located in the Denver area. The Company operates water and wastewater systems which include designing, constructing, operating and maintaining systems serving customers in the Denver metropolitan area. The Company also owns patented water recycling technologies which are capable of processing wastewater into pure potable drinking water. There have been no significant changes in the way the Company does business during the year. The Company's focus continues to be to provide water and wastewater service to customers within its service area and to expand its service to other areas throughout the Denver metropolitan area and the southwestern United States. In 1996, the Company entered into a landmark water privatization agreement with the State of Colorado and the Rangeview Metropolitan District (the "District") for the development of over 26,000 acre feet of water in the Denver metropolitan area. The water privatization agreement enabled the Company to acquire ownership to a total gross volume of 1,165,000 acre feet of groundwater (with an annual usage right of 11,650 acre feet per year), an option to substitute 1,650 acre feet of surface water in exchange for a total gross volume of 165,000 acre feet of groundwater, and the use of surface reservoir storage capacity (collectively referred to as the "Export Water Supply"). In addition to ownership of the Export Water Supply, the Company entered into eighty-five year water and wastewater privatization agreements ("Service Agreements") with the District to design, construct, operate, and maintain the District's water and wastewater systems to service customers within the District's 24,000 acre service area which is located in the greater Denver metropolitan area in Arapahoe County ("Service Area"). The District has reserved approximately 14,350 acre feet per year of water and surface reservoir storage capacity (collectively referred to as the "Service Area Water Supply") for use within the District's Service Area. The Company's water assets together with its Service Agreements enable the Company to develop and market water and wastewater service to cities, municipalities and special districts in need of additional water supplies and to serve the water and wastewater needs of customers within the District's Service Area. The Company will seek to utilize its patented water recycling technologies to process the wastewater into pure potable water for reuse applications. Description of Company Assets Rangeview Water Supply In 1996, as part of a comprehensive settlement agreement with the State of Colorado ("Settlement Agreement"), the Company purchased all of the District's outstanding bonds from the holders of the securities and entered into a water privatization agreement between the District and the Company. As part of the Settlement Agreement, the Company entered into the Service Agreements and purchased a fee interest to the Export Water Supply, which consists of a total gross volume of 1,165,000 acre feet (approximately 11,650 acre feet per year) of non-tributary groundwater, the option to substitute 1,650 acre feet of tributary surface water for a total gross volume of 165,000 acre feet of non-tributary groundwater, and surface reservoir storage rights from the District in exchange for all the District's outstanding bonds. The Company is seeking to develop and market its Export Water Supply to Denver area water providers that are in need of additional water supplies. Comprehensive Amendment Agreement In order to acquire the District's outstanding bonds to enable the Company to enter into the Settlement Agreement and to acquire the Export Water Supply, the Company negotiated agreements with all the remaining bond holders and amended the Water Commercialization Agreement ("WCA") and its agreements with all prior investors in the WCA. Pursuant to the Comprehensive Amendment Agreement (the "CAA") entered into in conjunction with the Settlement Agreement, such bond holders and investors have a right to receive a total of $31,807,000 from the proceeds of a sale or other disposition of the Export Water Supply (see Note 3 to the financial statements). Service Agreements In 1996, the Company entered into an eighty-five year water privatization agreement with the District to design, construct, operate, and maintain the District's water system to provide water service to customers within the Service Area. The District has reserved approximately 14,350 acre feet of water per year, together with surface reservoir storage capacity for the Company's use in providing water service to customers within the District's Service Area. In exchange for providing water service to customers within the Service Area, the Company will receive 95% of all amounts received by the District relating to water services remaining after payment of royalties to the State of Colorado Land Board. In January of 1997, the Company entered into an eighty-five year Wastewater Service Agreement with the District which provides for the Company to design, finance, construct, operate and maintain the District's wastewater system to provide wastewater service to customers within the Service Area. In exchange for providing wastewater service to customers within the Service Area, the Company will receive 100% of the District's wastewater tap fees, and 90% of the District's wastewater usage fees. The Company supplies water and wastewater services to customers within the 24,000 acres of property which constitute the boundaries of the Service Area. The Service Area is located in southeastern Arapahoe County, Colorado, a growing county bordering Denver, Colorado. Currently the majority of the property is undeveloped land owned by the State of Colorado, however portions of the property are currently under development. Development of the property is dependent on overall growth in the Denver metropolitan area. Development of the Rangeview water supply is are divided into two phases: one phase is the development and distribution of the Export Water Supply to Denver area water providers in need of additional water supplies; and the second, is the development of water and wastewater service to customers within the Service Area. Paradise Water Supply In 1987, the Company acquired certain water, water wells, and related assets from Paradise Oil, Water and Land Development, Inc., which constitute the "Paradise Water Supply". The Paradise Water Supply includes 70,000 acre feet of tributary Colorado River decreed water, a right-of-way permit from the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management for the construction of a 70,000 acre foot dam and reservoir across federal lands, and four water wells ranging in depth from 900 feet to 1,800 feet. The water wells produce approximately 7,500 - 9,400 gallons per minute or approximately 14,000 acre feet per well per year with an artesian pressure of approximately 100 pounds per square inch. Recycling Technology The Company developed and patented water recycling technology which converts single-family home wastewater/sewage into pure potable drinking water. The Company manufactured, installed and operated the single-family water recycling units in the late 1970's and early 1980's until halting production of the units in 1982. The Company has shifted its strategic market for its water recycling technology from its original single-family units to large municipal wastewater treatment applications. The Company has not operated a large wastewater treatment plant using its technologies and there can be no assurance that the technology will be technically or economically feasible on a large scale. The Company, through its Wastewater Service Agreement, will seek to apply its water recycling technology to treat municipal wastewater into pure potable water for reuse. The Business Beginning in fiscal 1987, and continuing through fiscal 2000, the Company has acquired a portfolio of water assets which are described above in the Description of Company Assets. This portfolio of water assets can be used to provide water service to customers located throughout the Denver metropolitan area and the Company has acquired the exclusive right to provide water and wastewater service to customers located within the Service Area. The Company seeks to utilize its water assets and wastewater treatment technologies to privatize other government owned water and wastewater systems in Colorado and throughout the western United States. The Rangeview Metropolitan District is a quasi-municipal, political subdivision of the State of Colorado and is empowered to provide water and wastewater services to approximately 24,000 acres of property located south and east of Denver metropolitan area, most of which is owned by the State of Colorado (the "Service Area"). The development of the District's Service Area is dependent on growth in the Denver metropolitan area, and on the State of Colorado selling portions of its property located within the Service Area to parties interested in the development of the land. The District has reserved approximately 14,350 acre feet of water annually, together with surface reservoir storage capacity, to provide water service to the property. The District completed a study to analyze the future development opportunities for the property and defined three categories of land uses: residential, commercial/light industrial, and open space. Approximately 10,000 acres is suitable for residential development accommodating up to 70,000 single-family homes; approximately 2,200 acres is suitable for commercial and light industrial development along the primary access corridors; and the remaining 12,800 acres is suitable for open space (i.e. parks, playing fields, and golf courses). Pursuant to the Company's water and wastewater Service Agreements, the Company will develop, operate and maintain the District's water and wastewater systems. In exchange for developing, operating and maintaining the District's water system, the Company receives 95% of the water tap fee and usage fee revenues after payment of a twelve percent (12%) royalty to the State Land Board. In exchange for developing, operating and maintaining the District's wastewater system the Company receives 100% of the District's wastewater tap fees and 90% of the District's wastewater usage fees. The District is empowered to set rates and charges for water and wastewater services. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the District's water rates and charges must be the average of similar rates and charges of the three surrounding municipal water providers. Portions of the Company's participation in the water and wastewater tap fees and user fees are required to be used to finance the development of facilities needed to furnish water and wastewater service. In 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to provide water and wastewater service to a 400 acre development which will include the construction of a 500-bed Academic Model Juvenile Facility ("Model Facility"). The Model Facility paid a Water System Development and Water Resource Charge based on estimated water consumption, to fund construction of water and wastewater systems. Pursuant to its Service Agreements, the Company has received $1,998,014 of the total charges of $2,013,495 relating to the construction of the water and wastewater facilities. Additionally, the Company has received $154,800 from the State of Colorado for the construction of additional facilities related to the wastewater plant to be undertaken by the Company on behalf of the State of Colorado. The Company has completed construction of the water facilities and has begun construction of the wastewater facilities which is projected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2001. The Model Facility is projected to open in May 2001 The 40 largest municipal water providers in the Denver metropolitan area deliver approximately 98% of the water consumed by residents and businesses in the Denver metropolitan area. The Company is actively marketing the Export Water Supply to each of the 40 largest providers during fiscal year 2000. The Export Water Supply could be sold for a lump sum amount or incrementally pursuant to the Company's service contracts whereby the Company will design, construct, operate and maintain the water system to deliver the water to customers. The timing, terms, and conditions of sales, if any, are dependent on the purchaser. The Company is also pursuing the sale of water from the Paradise Water Supply to users in the Denver metropolitan area and to cities, municipalities, and special districts in the downstream states of Arizona, Nevada and California. However, there are certain restrictions under the Colorado River Compact which relate to a reallocation of water from one state to another, including a requirement that a court decree authorizing the use of the water out of state be obtained and compliance with other interstate compacts or agreements, which would need to be resolved or complied with before the Paradise Water Supply can be sold to users outside of Colorado. If the Company is successful in selling its Paradise Water Supply, the Company would anticipate developing and constructing the facilities to deliver the water in a manner similar to the development and construction currently in progress related to the Model Facility. Other potential development opportunities for the Paradise Water Supply include, but are not limited to, the utilization of the artesian pressure for hydroelectric power generation and water leasing to agricultural interests, mineral interests, or recreational interests. The Company's business of providing water and wastewater services are subject to competitive factors since alternative providers are available. The Company is aware of other private water companies who are attempting to market competing service to municipal water providers in the Denver area. In addition, municipal water providers seeking to acquire water evaluate independent water owned by individuals, farmers, ranchers, and others. The principal factors affecting competition in this regard include, but may not be limited to, the availability of water for the particular purpose, the cost of delivering the water to the desired location, the availability of water during dry year periods, the quality and quanity of the water source, and the reliability of the water supply. The Company believes that its water provides the Company with an advantage over its competition because the water the Company owns has been designated for municipal use by decrees issued by Colorado water courts, and because of the quantity of water available, the quality of water, its location relative to the Denver metropolitan area, (and Paradise's location to deliver water to either downstream users or Denver area water users through exchanges or other transfers), and price. The quantity of water the Company has available for sale has been determined by court decrees of the Colorado water courts. The Company has had the quality and quantity of the Rangeview and Paradise Water Supply evaluated by independent appraisers and water engineers. The Rangeview water quality, without treatment, meets or exceeds all current federal and state drinking water standards. Water processing and municipal water recycling are also subject to competition from municipal water providers who also provide wastewater/sewage processing, and from regional wastewater/sewage processors. The majority of wastewater/sewage treatment is processed by approximately 10 major wastewater/sewage treatment providers. The majority of Denver area water providers participate in the Metropolitan Wastewater Authority which processes approximately 95% of the area's wastewater/sewage. The Company is not aware of any private companies providing wastewater/sewage treatment services in the Denver metropolitan area. The Company believes that it could have a competitive advantage because its wastewater treatment technology uses no toxic chemicals and the water after processing exceeds stringent water quality standards currently in effect. Additionally, residual material created in the wastewater treatment process can be composted into a high grade fertilizer for agricultural use. If the Company is successful in selling water, the construction of wells, dams, pipelines and storage facilities may require compliance with environmental regulations; however, the Company believes that regulatory compliance would not materially impact such a sale. It is anticipated that a purchaser of the Company's water would undertake to construct the required facilities to deliver the water to its users, however the Company would consider providing such infrastructure as part of a water sale agreement. If the Company were to ultimately agree to provide such facilities, the Company could incur substantial capital expenditures to comply with governmental regulations. However, the Company cannot assess such costs until the purchaser of the water and the nature of the water delivery system required has been determined. Similarly if the Company were to obtain a contract for treatment of wastewater and sewage, governmental regulations concerning drinking water quality and wastewater discharge quality may be applicable. However, until the Company has a contract proposal specifying the quantity and type of wastewater to be treated and the proposed use of such treated water, the cost of regulatory compliance cannot be determined. The Company holds several patents in the United States and abroad related to its water recycling system and its components. The value to the Company of these patents is dependent upon the Company's ability to adapt its water recycling system to larger scale applications, or to develop other uses for the technology. The Company currently has three full time employees and one part time employee. Item 2. Description of Property The Company currently leases office facilities from a related party at the address shown on the cover page. The Company owns a total gross volume of 1,165,000 acre feet (approximately 11,650 acre feet per year) of non-tributary groundwater, an option to substitute 1,650 acre feet of tributary surface water in exchange for a total gross volume of 165,000 acre feet of non-tributary groundwater, and surface storage rights from the District. See "Item 1. Description of Business - Description of Company's Assets - Rangeview Water Supply." The Company owns approximately 70,000 acre feet of conditional water rights, water wells and related assets in the State of Colorado by assignment and quit claim deed. See "Item 1. Description of Business - Description of Company's Assets - Paradise Water Supply." Item 3. Legal Proceedings In March 1998, the Company joined a lawsuit initiated by others including the Rangeview Metropolitan District and the State of Colorado, Board of Land Commissioners ("State"), brought in the District Court of Arapahoe County, Colorado, against US Home Corporation seeking declaratory judgment affirming US Home Corporation's responsibilities under Lease S- 37280 as amended and the Agreement to Exchange Real Property requiring US Home Corporation to obtain water service from the District and the State for development activities on property governed under Lease S-37280. On April 23, 1999 the District Court of Arapahoe County entered an order of summary judgement in favor of US Home Corporation on all claims. The Company together with Rangeview and the State appealed the trial court's order. Subsequent to the fiscal year ended August 31, 20000, on September 21, 2000, the Colorado Court of Appeals affirmed the judgement of the trial court in favor of US Home Corporation. The Company will not seek further action in this matter. Item 4.

Dividends The Company has never paid any dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Dividends cannot be paid on the common stock at any time when there are unpaid accrued dividends owning on the Company's outstanding Preferred Stock. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities In August 2000, the Company entered into a Plan of Recapitalization and a Stock Purchase Agreement whereby the Company issued 1,666,667 shares of Series C-3 Preferred Stock to Mr. Thomas Clark in exchange for 1,666,667 shares of common stock owned by Mr. Clark. In August 2000, the Company comitted to issue, and four acredited investors comitted to purchase, a total of 763,333 shares of common stock, at $.15 per share generating proceeds to the Company of $114,500. As of August 31, 2000, the Company has not issued these shares, nor received payment from the investors. Payment was received from these investors subsequent to year end as follows: $10,000 on September 28, $4,500 on October 2, $50,000 on October 26, and $50,000 on October 27. In September 1999, the Company entered into a Plan of Recapitalization and a Stock Purchase Agreement whereby the Company issued 666,667 shares of Series C-2 Preferred Stock to Mr. Thomas Clark in exchange for 666,667 shares of common stock owned by Mr. Clark. The Company sold 666,667 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $.18 per share to three accredited investor. Proceeds to the Company were $120,000. The shares were issued under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. In January 1999, the Company entered into a Plan of Recapitalization and a Stock Purchase Agreement whereby the Company issued 500,000 shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock to Mr. Thomas Clark in exchange for 500,000 shares of common stock owned by Mr. Clark. The Company sold 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $.18 per share to an accredited investor. Proceeds to the Company were $90,000. The shares were issued under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis General Pure Cycle is engaged in the privatization of municipal water and wastewater systems in Colorado. The Company seeks to use its water and water technologies to enhance the availability and quality of domestic drinking water. The Company purchased approximately 1,165,000 acre feet of water (11,650 acre feet annually) and entered into two eighty-five year water and wastewater Service Agreements with the Rangeview Metropolitan District which will enable the Company to provide water and wastewater service to over 36 square miles of property located in the Denver area. The Company continues to develop its water recycling technologies and, will seek to integrate these technologies for processing wastewater into pure potable water for reuse into its wastewater service commitment to the District's Service Area. The Company is aggressively pursuing the marketing and sale of its water to municipal water providers in the Denver metropolitan region as well as users in Arizona, Nevada and California to generate current and long term revenue sources. During fiscal year 2000, the Company recognized construction revenues of $916,601 and delivered approximately 37 million gallons of water to customers within the District's Service Area. The Company continues to meet with developers and other parties interested in developing portions of the District's Service Area. The District's Service Area is primarily undeveloped land owned by the State of Colorado situated in the growing Arapahoe County. A portion of the property is currently under development and the Company has constructed the water system and is in the process of constructing the wastewater system to serve customers on the property. In 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to provide water and wastewater service to a 400 acre development which will include the construction of a 500-bed Academic Model Juvenile Facility ("Model Facility"). The Model Facility paid a Water System Development and Water Resource Charge based on estimated water consumption, to fund construction of water and wastewater systems. Pursuant to its Service Agreements, the Company has received $1,998,014 of the total charges of $2,013,495 to be paid relating to the construction of the water and wastewater facilities. Additionally, the Company has received $154,800 from the State of Colorado for the construction of additional facilities related to the wastewater plant to be undertaken by the Company on behalf of the State of Colorado. The Company has completed construction of the water facilities and has begun construction of the wastewater facilities which are projected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2001. The Model Facility is projected to open in May 2001 In addition to the Company's Service Area activities, the Company continues to meet with Denver area water providers to develop and sell the Company's Export Water Supply. Denver area water providers continue to experience strong regional growth rates which continue to pressure their developed water supplies. The Company is marketing its Export Water Supply to water providers in need of supplemental water supplies. Additionally, the Company has presented water supply proposals to private and municipal water providers in Nevada, Arizona and California for the sale of the Company's 70,000 acre feet of Paradise Water Supply, understanding that certain legal issues relating to interstate water transfers may exist. The Company continues to discuss water supply arrangements with private companies and municipal water providers to whom it has made proposals. The Company continues to identify and market its water to other private companies and municipal water providers. At this time the Company is not able to determine the timing of water sales or the timing of development of the property within the District's Service Area. There can be no assurance that these sales can be made on terms acceptable to the Company or that development will occur. In the event water sales are not forthcoming or development of the property within the District's Service Area is delayed, the Company may sell additional portions of the Company's profits interest pursuant to the CAA, incur additional short or long-term debt obligations or seek to sell additional shares of common stock, preferred stock or stock purchase warrants as deemed necessary by the Company to generate operating capital. The Company's ability to ultimately realize its investment in its two primary water assets is dependent on its ability to successfully market the water, or in the event it is unsuccessful, to sell the underlying water. Under the provisions of the CAA, the other investors in the Rangeview project are to receive the first $31,807,000 from the sale or other disposition of the Export Water Supply. The Company has agreed to pay the next $4,000,000 in proceeds to LCH, Inc., a company affiliated with the Company's president. The next $433,000 in proceeds are payable to the holders of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock. The Company retains 100% of the proceeds in excess of $36,240,000 from the sale or other disposition of the Export Water Supply. Results of Operations During fiscal year 2000, the Company generated water usage revenues from the sale of water to customers within the Company's Service Area of $53,886 compared to $35,425 for fiscal 1999, and incurred approximately $8,690 in operating costs compared to $4,800 for fiscal 1999. The Company incurred construction costs of $700,142 and recognized construction revenues of $916,601 in fiscal year 2000 compared to costs and revenues of $359,009 and $462,892 in fiscal year 1999. The Company recognized revenues from construction based on percentage-of-completion methodology. General, administrative and marketing expenses for fiscal year 2000 were $273,000 approximately $22,000 lower than for fiscal year 1999. Interest income increased to $51,000 in fiscal year 2000, as compared to $40,000 for fiscal year 1999 due primarily to an increase in the average balance in the Company's cash operating accounts. Interest expense increased approximately $22,000 to $266,000 as compared to $234,000 in fiscal year 1999 due primarily to a higher level of outstanding loan balances and an increas in the prime lending rate. Net loss for fiscal year 2000 was approximately $278,000 lower than for fiscal year 1999, primarily due to recognition of construction revenues and the extinguishment of old liabilities. Liquidity and Capital Resources Prior to fiscal 1992, the Company funded operations primarily through long term debt financing from certain related parties including the Company's President and major stockholder. Since fiscal 1992, the Company has funded operations with debt and equity financing and by marketing the right to share in proceeds from the sale of its Export Water Supply to private individuals, companies and institutions with an interest in the water supply market. The Company's working capital at August 31, 2000 was $164,355, which includes $114,500 of common stock subscriptions that were received in October 2000. The Company has billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings from the construction of water and wastewater facilities for the Model Facility of $772,500 at August 31, 2000. The Company expects to incur additional costs in fiscal 2000 to complete the wastewater facilities for the Model Facility which will be funded primarily from existing cash balances. The Company believes that at August 31, 2000, it has sufficient working capital and available credit to fund its operations for the next year or longer. There can be no assurances, however, that the Company will be successful in marketing the water from its two primary water projects in the near term. In the event sales are not achieved, the Company may sell additional participating interests in its water projects, incur additional short or long-term debt or seek to sell additional shares of common or preferred stock or stock purchase warrants, as deemed necessary by the Company, to generate working capital. Development of any of the water that the Company has, or is seeking to acquire, will require substantial capital investment by the Company. Any such additional capital for the development of the water is anticipated to be financed by the municipality purchasing such water or through the sale of water taps and water delivery charges. A water tap charge refers to a charge imposed by a municipality to permit a water user access to a water delivery system (i.e. a single-family home's tap into the municipal water system), and a water delivery charge refers to a water user's monthly water bill, generally based on a per 1,000 gallons of water consumed. Operating Activities During fiscal 2000, cash used in operating activities was approximately $139,000, compared to cash provided by operating activities of approximately $779,000 in fiscal 1999. Payments to contractors in fiscal 2000 accounted for the cash used in operations in fiscal 2000. The Company expects that payments received pursuant to its Service Agreements will be in excess of estimated costs to complete the construction of the Model Facility's wastewater system. Budgeted operating costs are expected to remain the same and it is anticipated that a similar level of cash will be used in the Company's general and administration operations during fiscal 2000. Completion of the water facilities by the Company's contractor was approximately 205 days late. The contracts for construction of the water facilities with the contractor included provision for liquidated damages for late completion total $1,000 per day. The Company has retained approximately $100,000 from the contract pending resolution of the liquidated damages by the contractor and the contractor's surety bond company. In August 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to provide water and wastewater service to a 400 acre development which will include the construction of a 500-bed Model Facility. The Company is designing, constructing, and will operate and maintain the water and wastewater system to provide service to the Model Facility. Projected costs for construction of the water system are approximately $950,000, and projected costs for construction of the wastewater system are $548,000 for combined costs of $1,498,000.

The Company operates water and wastewater systems and its operating activities include designing, constructing, operating and maintaining systems serving customers in the Denver metropolitan area. The Company also owns patented water recycling technologies which are capable of processing wastewater into pure potable drinking water. There have been no significant changes in the way the Company does business during the current year. The Company's focus continues to be to provide water and wastewater service to customers within its service area and the Company expects to expand its service to other areas throughout the Denver metropolitan area and the southwest. Although the Company believes it will be successful in marketing the water from one or both of its water projects, there can be no assurance that sales can be made on terms acceptable to the Company. The Company's ability to ultimately realize its investment in its two primary water projects is dependent on its ability to successfully market the water, or in the event it is unsuccessful, to sell the underlying water assets. The Company believes that at August 31, 2000, it has sufficient working capital and available credit to fund its operations for the next year or longer. There can be no assurances, however, that the Company will be successful in marketing the water from its two primary water projects in the near term. In the event sales are not achieved, the Company may sell additional participating interests in its water projects, incur additional short or long-term debt or seek to sell additional shares of common or preferred stock or stock purchase warrants, as deemed necessary by the Company, to generate working capital. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Revenue Recognition The company recognizes construction project income using the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the contract costs incurred to date as a percentage of the estimated total contract costs. Contract costs include all direct material, labor, and equipment costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance such as indirect labor and supplies costs. If the construction project revenue is not fixed, the Company estimates revenues that are most likely to occur. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. At August 31, 2000, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings represent payments received on construction projects under which the work has not been completed. This amount will be recognized as construction progresses in accordance with the percentage-of-completion method. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported PURE CYCLE CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair market value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company believes there are no impairments in the carrying amounts of its investments in water at August 31, 2000. Stock-Based Compensation As allowed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), the Company continues to measure compensation costs for these plans using the intrinsic value method of accounting as prescribed in Accounting Pronouncement Bulletin Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). The pro forma disclosure of net loss and loss per share required by SFAS 123 are included in Note 9. Income taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Loss per common share Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Convertible preferred stock and common stock options and warrants have been excluded from the calculation of loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 1999, The Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Buletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 101 is to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999 which for the Company would be fiscal year 2001. SAB 101 addresses various topics in revenue recognition. The Company is currently analyzing SAB 101, however based on PURE CYCLE CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) management's current understanding and interpretation, SAB 101 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 44 ("FIN 44"), "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation - An Interpretative of Accounting Principals Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25". FIN 44 clarifies the application of APB 25 and is effective July 1, 2000. The Company believes that its current accounting policies are in conformity with this interpretation, and does not believe that FIN 44 will have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications were made to the 1999 financial statements to conform to the August 31, 2000 presentation. NOTE 3 - RANGEVIEW WATER SUPPLY In April of 1996, the Company entered into a water privatization agreement with the State of Colorado and the Rangeview Metropolitan District (the "District") which enabled the Company to acquire ownership to a total gross volume of 1,165,000 acre feet of groundwater (approximately 11,650 acre feet per year), an option to substitute 1,650 acre feet of surface water in exchange for a total gross volume of 165,000 acre feet of groundwater, and the use of surface reservoir storage capacity (collectively referred to as the "Export Water Supply"). In addition to the Export Water Supply, the Company entered into a water and wastewater service agreement ("The Service Agreements") with the District which grants the Company an eighty-five year exclusive right to design, construct, operate and maintain the District's water and wastewater systems. In exchange for designing, constructing, operating and maintaining the District's water and wastewater system, the Company will receive 95% of the District's water revenues remaining after payment of royalties totaling 12% of gross revenues to the State Land Board, and 100% of the District's wastewater system development charges and 90% of the District's wastewater usage charges. The Company capitalized certain legal, engineering and other costs relating to the acquisition of the Rangeview Water Supply due to the improvements of the water assets through adjudication and engineering services. The Company capitalized costs totaling $142,214 and $310,824 in fiscal 2000 and 1999 respectively. The Participating Interests in the CAA, in the aggregate, have the right to receive the first approximately $31,807,000 from the proceeds of a sale or other disposition of the Export Water Supply. After the distributions pursuant to the CAA, LCH Inc., a company affiliated with the Company's president has the right to receive the next $4,000,000 in proceeds. The next $433,000 in proceeds is payable to the holders of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock. The Company will retain 100% of the proceeds in excess of $36,240,000 from the sale or other disposition of the Export Water Supply. PURE CYCLE CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 4 - RANGEVIEW WATER SYSTEM In conjunction with the privatization agreement, the Company also entered into an 85 year Service Agreement with the District to design, finance, construct, operate, and maintain the District's water system to provide water service to customers within the Service Area. The District has reserved approximately 14,350 acre feet of water per year, together with surface reservoir storage capacity, for the Company's use in providing water service to customers within the Service Area. In exchange for providing water service to customers within the Service Area, the Company receives 95% of the District's water related revenues remaining after payment of royalties totaling 12% of gross revenues to the State Land Board. The Company incurred costs of $8,690 during 2000, and $4,800 during 1999 to operate and maintain the water system to deliver water to customers within the Service Area. During fiscal year 2000, the Company delivered approximately 37 million gallons of water to customers in the Service Area. Currently there are no wastewater customers within the Service Area. NOTE 5 - CONSTRUCTION REVENUE Pursuant to its Service Agreements, the Company is obligated to provide water and wastewater service to a 400 acre development which will include the construction of a 500-bed Academic Model Juvenile Facility ("Model Facility"). The Model Facility paid Water System Development and Water Resources Charges to fund construction of water and wastewater systems. Pursuant to its Service Agreements, the Company has received $1,998,014 of the total charges of $2,013,495 to be paid by the Model Facility. Additionally, the Company has received $154,800 from the State of Colorado for the construction of additional facilities related to the wastewater plant undertaken by the Company on behalf of the State of Colrado. The Company has completed construction of the water facilities and has begun construction of the wastewater facilities which is projected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2001. The Model Facility is projected to open in May 2001. Projected cost for construction of the combined water and sewer capital project costs of $1,652,895. At August 31, 2000, the estimated period to complete contracts in process range from 1 to 6 months, and the Company expects to collect substantially all related accounts receivable and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts as of August 31, 2000 within one year. The following summarizes contracts in process at August 31, 2000, and 1999 August 31, 2000 1999 Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts $1,059,151 $359,009 Estimated earnings 166,363 $117,626 1,225,514 476,635 Less billings to date (1,998,014) ( 1,372,014) (772,500) (895,379) During fiscal 1999 and 2000, the Company had revenues from a single customer that accounted for 93% and 96% of total revenue, respectively.

Had compensation costs for the Company's two stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair market value at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the method prescribed in FASB Statement 123, the Company's net loss and loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below for the years ended August 31, 2000 and 1999: Net loss: 2000 1999 As Reported $( 82,955) (361,272) Pro forma (297,168) (368,772) Loss per share: As Reported * * Pro forma * * * Less than $.01 per share The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in fiscal years 1996 through 2000: no dividend yield; no expected volatility; and the weighted average risk-free interest rate of 6.75% for the options. A summary of the status of the Company's Equity Incentive Plan as of August 31, 2000 and 1999, and changes during the years then ended is presented below: 2000 1999 Weighted average Weighted average Fixed options Shares exercise price Shares exercise price Outstanding at beginning of year 23,000,000 $.18 23,000,000 $.18 Granted -- -- -- - - - Exercised -- -- -- - - - Outstanding at end of year 23,000,000 $.18 23,000,000 $.18 Options exercisable at year end 23,000,000 22,750,000 Weighted average of fair value of options granted during the year -- -- The following table summarizes information about Equity Incentive Plan options outstanding at August 31, 2000: Options Outstanding Options Exercisable Range Weighted average Weighted Weighted of exercise Number remaining average Number average Price outstanding contractual life exercise price exercisable exercise price .18 23,000,000 1.75 .18 23,000,000 .18 No options were exercised during the years ended August 31, 2000 and 1999.

These funds have been treated by the Company as unsecured debt, and the promissory notes with interest at 8.36% to 9.01% per annum, issued to Mr. Clark on various dates are payable October 15, 2002. To date, Mr. Clark has loaned the Company $310,720 of which $43,350 has been repaid, leaving a balance of $267,370. As of August 31, 2000, accrued interest on the Notes totaled $204,032. All loans were made on terms determined by the board members, other than Mr. Clark, to be at market rates. Additionally, LCH, Inc., a Delaware corporation which owns 20% of LC Holdings, Inc. and is thereby affiliated with Mr. Clark, who owns 80% of LC Holdings, Inc., loaned the Company a total of $950,000 between November, 1988 and February, 1989. These funds were represented by two Demand Promissory Notes (the "Notes") with interest at a rate equal to the rate announced from time to time by Mellon Bank, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as its "prime rate" plus 300 basis points from the date of the first advance thereunder until maturity, payable quarterly beginning on the first day of April, 1989 and continuing thereafter on the first day of each subsequent calendar quarter. No payments were made on the Notes. An April 25, 1989 Assumption of Obligations Agreement assigned the entire debt of $950,000 to Rangeview Development Corp., which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company until it was dissolved in fiscal 1997 and further assigned $750,000 of that $950,000 to Rangeview Company, L.P a limited partnership in which LCH held a 45% interest and Rangeview Development Corporation held a 55% interest. In February of 1991, LCH transferred its interest in Rangeview Company, L.P. to the Company in exchange for a $4,000,000 profits interest in the Rangeview Project paid subsequent to the first $31,807,000 profits interest allocated to other investors. The Company's wholly-owned subsidary Rangeview Development Corporation was dissolved in August 1997. In connection with the Settlement Agreement, LCH consented to be paid its $4,000,000 profits interest from the sale or other disposition of the Export Water subsequent to payment of $31,807,000 owed under the CAA. During fiscal year ended August 31, 1998, the Company reached an agreement with LCH, Inc. to defer payment of the principal amount of the Notes, plus interest until October 15, 2003. No additional consideration is due to LCH, Inc. for the deferral.

CERTIFICATE OF THE DESIGNATIONS, POWERS, PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF SERIES C-3 CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK ($.001 Par Value) of PURE CYCLE CORPORATION ______________________ Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ______________________ PURE CYCLE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), does hereby certify that the following resolutions were duly adopted by the board of directors of the Corporation pursuant to authority conferred upon the board of directors by Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, which authorizes the issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, at a meeting of the board of directors duly held on August 29, 2000 RESOLVED, that one series of the class of authorized Preferred Stock, $.001 par value, of the Corporation is hereby created and that the designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of the shares of such series, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, are hereby fixed as follows: 1. Number of Shares and Designation. 1,666,667 shares of the Preferred Stock, $.001 par value, of the Corporation are hereby constituted as a series of the Preferred Stock designated as Series C-3 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C-3 Preferred Stock"). 2. Liquidation. A. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series C-3 Preferred Stock will be entitled to share in any distribution or payment made to the holders of Common Stock on a pro rata basis with the holders of the Common Stock determined as if such holders had converted their Series C-3 Preferred Stock to Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 hereof immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. B. The Corporation will mail written notice of any distribution in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, not less than 60 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of Series C-3 Preferred Stock. Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation into or with any other corporation or corporations, nor the sale or transfer by the Corporation of all or any part of its assets, nor the reduction of the capital stock of the Corporation, will be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 2. 3. Dividends. The holders of the Series C-3 Preferred Stock will be entitled to share in any dividend or distribution or payment made to the holders of Common Stock on a pro rata basis with the holders of the Common Stock determined as if such holders had converted their Series C-3 Preferred Stock to Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 hereof immediately prior to such dividend or distribution. 4. Conversion. A. Right to Convert. Each share of Series C-3 Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, into 1 fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock (the "Conversion Rate"), provided that the Corporation has authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to deliver to the holders of the Series C-3 Preferred Stock at the time of such conversion. B. Fractional Shares. In the event the aggregate number of shares of Series C-3 Preferred Stock being converted by a holder thereof is convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock which would require the issuance of a fractional interest in a share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall deliver cash in the amount of the fair market value of such fractional interest. C. Accrued Dividends. If, at the time the holder of shares of Series C-3 Preferred Stock exercises its right of conversion under Section 4.A, such holder's shares of Series C-3 Preferred Stock have accrued dividends which remain unpaid at the time of such conversion, such holder's right to receive dividends on the shares so converted, to the extent accrued but unpaid on the date of conversion, shall continue. D. Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of the Series C-3 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to voluntarily convert the same into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation, in the case of a conversion pursuant to Section 4.A above, shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that he or she elects to convert the same and shall state therein his or her name or the name or names of his or her nominees in which he or she wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of the Series C-3 Preferred Stock, or to his or her nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which he or she shall be entitled as aforesaid. Any conversion shall be deemed to have taken place at 5:01 Mountain Time on the date of such surrender of the shares to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date; provided, however, that the right to receive dividends on the shares so converted, to the extent accrued but unpaid on the date of such conversion (whether or not declared), shall continue. E. Adjustment for Combinations or Consolidations of Common Stock. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the date of issuance of any Series C-3 Preferred Stock effects a subdivision, combination or reclassification of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, then and in each such event the Conversion Rate shall be increased or decreased proportionately. F. Adjustments for Merger or Reorganization, etc. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation or the conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another corporation or other person, provision shall be made so that each share of the Series C-3 Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation deliverable upon conversion of such Series C-3 Preferred Stock would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger or conveyance; and, in any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined by the board of directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holders of the Series C-3 Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth herein (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Rate) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as they reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series C-3 Preferred Stock. 5. Voting. A. Holders of the Series C-3 Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote together with the Common Stock, and not separately as a class, for the election of directors and upon all other matters to be voted on by the holders of the Common Stock of the Corporation. Every holder of shares of the Series C-3 Preferred Stock shall have the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that his or her shares of Series C-3 Preferred Stock would be convertible into pursuant to Section 4 on the record date of the meeting at which such shares are being voted. B. At each meeting or at any adjournment thereof at which the holders of the Series C-3 Preferred Stock have the right to vote as a class, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the Series C-3 Preferred Stock then outstanding will be required to constitute a quorum. The vote of a majority of such quorum will be required to take any action at such meeting. Cumulative voting by holders of Series C-3 Preferred Stock is prohibited. In the absence of a quorum, a majority of the holders present in person or by proxy of the Series C-3 Preferred Stock shall have the power to adjourn the portion of the meeting related to that particular series for a period of up to 30 days without notice other than announcement at the meeting until a quorum shall be present. 6. Corporation's Right to Purchase Series C-3 Preferred Stock. A. The Corporation shall have the right at any time to acquire any Series C-3 Preferred Stock from the owner of such shares on such terms as may be agreeable to such owner. Shares of Series C-3 Preferred Stock may be acquired by the Corporation from any stockholder pursuant to this Section 6.A without offering any other stockholder an equal opportunity to sell his stock to the Corporation, and no purchase by the Corporation from any stockholder pursuant to this Section 6.A shall be deemed to create any right on the part of any stockholder to sell any shares of Series C-3 Preferred Stock (or any other stock) to the Corporation. The purchase by the Corporation of shares of Series C-3 Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6.A shall not be deemed for any purpose to be a redemption. Such shares shall not be entitled to receive dividends while held by the Company. B. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, if a dividend upon any shares of Series C-3 Preferred Stock is past due, the Corporation shall not purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Series C-3 Preferred Stock, except (i) pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Series C-3 Preferred Stock, or (ii) by conversion of shares of Series C-3 Preferred Stock into, or exchange of such shares for, Common Stock. 7. Preemptive Rights. The holders of shares of Series C-3 Preferred Stock are not entitled to any preemptive or subscription rights in respect of any securities of the Corporation. 8. Notices. Any notice required hereby to be given to the holders of shares of Series C-3 Preferred Stock shall be sufficiently given if sent by telecopier, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, by express mail or by other express courier addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of the Corporation. All notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if mailed, when received or three (3) days after mailing, whichever is earlier; (ii) if sent by express mail or courier, when delivered; and (iii) if telecopied, when received by the telecopier to which transmitted (a machine-generated transaction report produced by sender bearing recipient's telecopier number being prima facie proof of receipt). 9. Transfer Costs. The Corporation shall pay any and all documentary stamp and other transaction taxes attributable to the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any shares of Series C-3 Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the holder of the Series C-3 Preferred Stock to be converted and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Certificate of Designation this 29 day of August, 2000. PURE CYCLE CORPORATION By:/s/ Thomas P. Clark Thomas P.
