In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at February 28, 1998 and for all periods presented have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10- KSB. The results of operations for interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. NOTE 2 - LONG-TERM DEBT In August 1996, the Company entered into a loan agreement with six related party investors. The loan is for $300,000, is unsecured, bears interest based on the prime rate plus 2% or 10 1/4% and is due August 30, 2002. The agreement allowed the Company to extend the due date to August 30, 2002 by issuing additional warrants (see Note 3). In connection with the August 1996 loan agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. In August 1997, the Company entered into a loan agreement with five related party investors. The loan is for $350,000, is unsecured, bears interest at the rate of 10 1/4% and is due August 30, 2002. In connection with the August 1997 loan agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock (see Note 3). NOTE 3 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY In connection with the August 1996 loan agreement described in note 2, the Company issued warrants to purchase 600,000 shares of the Company's common stock and additional warrants to purchase 1,323,000 shares to extend the due date of the note until August 30, 2002. The warrants are exercisable at $.25 per share and expire August 30, 2002. The estimated fair value of the warrants issued of $18,000 has been capitalized and is being amortized to expense over the term of the notes. In connection with the August 1997 loan agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 2,100,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The warrants are exercisable at $.25 per share and expire August 30, 2002. A portion of the proceeds received under the agreement ($45,000) has been attributed to the estimated fair value of the warrants issued. The resulting discount is being amortized over the term of the loan. In December of 1997, the Company agreed to adjust the exercise price of its outstanding options and warrants totaling approximately 48,672,000 shares held by certain directors, officers, and investors of the Company from $.25 per share to $.18 per share. The options and warrant repricing was based on the market closing price on December 2, 1997 of $.18 per share. The Company has recognized a non-cash compensation expense of $51,000 which reflects the change in value of the options and warrants based on the price of the Company's outstanding shares at the date of repricing. The options and warrants expire during 2002. 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION Results of Operations General and administrative expenses for the six months ended February 28, 1998 were approximately $33,000 higher than for the period ended February 28, 1997, primarily because of a non-recurring, non-cash compensation expense. Interest expense increased for the six months ended February 28, 1998 by approximately $1,000 compared to the period ended February 28, 1997 primarily because of a higher average outstanding balance of notes payable for the six months of fiscal 1998 compared to the same period in fiscal 1997. Net loss for the six months ended February 28, 1998 increased approximately $69,000 compared to the six month ended February 28, 1997 primarily because of the receipt of one-time tap fee revenue during the six months ended February 28, 1997 and the non-cash compensation expense. During the six months ended February 28, 1998, the Company generated water service revenues of $13,744 and incurred approximately $1,000 in operating costs associated with the water service revenues The water service revenues were generated from the sale of water to customers within the Company's Service Area. Liquidity and Capital Resources At February 28, 1998, current assets exceed current liabilities by $123,294 and, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $164,136. The Company is aggressively pursuing the sale and development of its water rights. The Company cannot provide any assurances that it will be able to sell its water rights. In the event a sale of the Company's water rights is not forthcoming and the Company is not able to generate revenues from the sale or development of its technology, the Company may sell additional portions of the Company's profit interest pursuant to the WCA, incur 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. Development of any of the water rights 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 rights is anticipated to be financed through the sale of water taps and water delivery charges to a city or municipality. A water tap charge refers to a charge imposed by a municipality to permit a water user to access 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. 8 PURE CYCLE CORPORATION SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
