PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
General
Pure Cycle Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in
Delaware in 1976. The Company is engaged in the water management
business 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 along 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 continues 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 $31,807,000
from the proceeds of a sale or other disposition of the Export
Water Supply.
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 the District's
water revenues 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 Assets 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 their 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 1999, 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 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.
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 purchased
the equivalent of 201 residential water taps at $8,165 per tap (or
$1,641,165), and the equivalent of 156 residential wastewater taps
at $4,000 per tap (or $624,000, collectively $2,265,165). Pursuant
to its Service Agreements, the Company received $1,372,014 from the
water tap fees during fiscal 1999, and will receive $624,000 from
the sewer tap fees upon the initiation of construction of the
wastewater treatment facility scheduled for second quarter 2000 for
a combined total of $1,996,014. The Company designed, and will
construct, operate and maintain the water and wastewater systems to
deliver water and sewer service to the Model Facility. Construction
of the Model Facility began in first quarter of fiscal year 1999
with the opening of the Model Facility expected in 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 actively marketed the Export Water Supply to each of the 40
largest providers during fiscal year 1999. The Export Water Supply
could be sold for a lump sum amount or pursuant to service contract
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 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 the
facilities to deliver the water in a manner similar to the Export
Water Supply. 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, water leasing to agricultural interests, mineral
interests, and recreational interests.
The Company's business of water management is subject to
competitive factors since alternative sources of water are
available. The Company is aware of other private water companies
who are attempting to market competing water 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 process
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 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 have appealed the trial court's order. Management does
not believe the outcome of the lawsuit will have a material adverse
effect to the Company.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matters were submitted to a vote of stockholders during the
fourth quarter ended August 31, 1999.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
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.
In August 1998, the Company entered into a Plan of
Recapitalization and a Stock Purchase Agreement whereby the Company
issued 3,200,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock to Mr. Thomas
Clark in exchange for 3,200,000 shares of common stock owned by Mr.
Clark. The Company sold 3,200,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock at $.125 per share to four accredited investors who have
previously invested in the Company. Proceeds to the Company were
$400,000. The shares were issued under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933.
In December of 1997, the Company agreed to adjust the exercise
price of its outstanding options and warrants to purchase
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
approximately $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.
Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis
General
Pure Cycle is engaged in the privatization of municipal water and
wastewater systems in Colorado and other areas. The Company seeks
to use its water and water technologies to enhance the availability
and quality of domestic drinking water. The Company purchased
approximately 11,650 acre feet of water 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
1999, the Company sold the equivalent of 201 residential water
taps, the equivalent of 156 residential wastewater taps and
delivered approximately 29 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.
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 1999, 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 purchased the equivalent of 201 residential water taps at
$8,165 per tap (or $1,641,165), and the equivalent of 156
residential wastewater taps at $4,000 per tap (or $624,000,
collectively $2,265,165). Pursuant to its Service Agreements, the
Company received $1,372,014 from the water tap fees in fiscal 1999,
and will receive $624,000 from the sewer tap fees upon the
initiation of construction of the wastewater facilities for a
combined total of $1,996,014. The Company began construction of
the water system and has incurred costs as of the end of fiscal
year 1999 of $359,000 with the remaining portion of the water
system currently under bonded contract for $591,000 for a combined
total of $950,000. Projected cost for construction of the
wastewater system are $600,000 or combined water and sewer capital
project costs of $1,550,000.
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, during fiscal 1999, 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 projects 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 approximately $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 1999, the Company's water service revenues
increased $472,951 to $498,317 as compared to $25,366 for fiscal
1998, due primarily to the agreement entered into with the Model
Facility during 1999. The Company incurred construction costs of
$359,000 and has construction deposits totaling $895,379. The
Company recognized revenues from construction based on percentage-
of-completion methodology. As of August 31, 1999, construction of
the water and wastewater facilities for the Model Facility were
approximately 23% complete, resulting in a revenues of $462,892.
During fiscal 1999, the Company delivered approximately 29 million
gallons of water to customers in the Service Area generating
revenues from water sales of $35,425. The Company incurred
approximately $4,800 in operating costs associated with the water
service revenues. The Company continues to operate at a loss with
its operating capital requirements funded primarily through debt
and equity financings and the sale of rights to participate in the
proceeds from the sale of the Company's Export Water Supply.
The Company's general and administrative expenses for fiscal 1999
decreased approximately $40,000 or 12% to $295,000 as compared to
$335,000 for fiscal 1998, due primarily to a decrease in payroll
expenditures. The Company's general and administrative expenses for
fiscal 1998 increased approximately $40,000 or 15% to $335,000 as
compared to $295,000 for fiscal 1997, due primarily to a increase
in payroll expenditures.
The Company's fiscal 1999 net loss of $361,000 improved 31% as
compared to $526,000 for fiscal 1998. The decrease in net loss for
fiscal 1999 was due primarily construction revenues received during
1999 from completion of 23% of the Model Facility capital
construction project.
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, 1999 was $21,286.
The Company has billings in excess of costs resulting in estimated
earnings from the construction of water and wastewater facilities
for the Model Facility of approximately $300,000. The Company
expects to incur additional costs in fiscal 2000 to complete the
water and wastewater facilities for the Model Facility of which
$895,000 have been received and $624,000 will be due upon the
initiation of contruction of the wastewater facility. The Company
believes that at August 31, 1999, 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 1999, operating activities provided cash of
approximately $779,000, compared to using cash of approximately
$256,000 in fiscal 1998. Proceeds from construction revenue
received in fiscal 1999 accounted for the improvement in cash flow
from operations in fiscal 1999. Budgeted construction costs, are
anticipated to increase during fiscal 2000 with the completion of
the water and wastewater systems for the Model Facility. The
Company expects billings in excess of estimated costs will provide
sufficient revenues to complete the construction of the Model
Facility's water and wastewater systems. 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.
Construction Activities
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 cost for construction of the
wastewater system are $600,000 for combined costs of $1,550,000 to
be paid from construction revenues.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for fiscal 1999 was
approximately $300,000. Costs of approximately $287,000 were
incurred relating to the Rangeview and Paradise Water Supply
projects and costs of approximately $12,000 were incurred relating
to the development of a water system serving customers within the
District's Service Area. Cash used in investing activities for
fiscal 1998 was approximately $92,000. Costs of approximately
$78,000 were incurred relating to the Rangeview and Paradise Water
Supply projects and costs of approximately $14,000 were incurred
relating to the development of a water system serving customers
within the District's Service Area. Interest income increased to
$40,000 in fiscal 1999, as compared to $32,000 for fiscal 1998 due
primarily to an increase in the average outstanding balance in the
Company's cash operating accounts. Interest expense remained
approximately the same at $241,000 as compared to $243,000 in
fiscal 1998 due primarily a constant level of outstanding loan
balances.
Financing Activities
In January of 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 Thomas P.
Clark in exchange for 500,000 shares of common stock owned by Mr.
Clark. The Company sold 500,000 shares of common stock to an
accredited investors for $.18 per share. Proceeds to the Company
were $90,000. In August 1998, the Company entered into a Plan of
Recapitalization and a Stock Purchase Agreement whereby the Company
issued 3,200,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock to Thomas P.
Clark in exchange for 3,200,000 shares of common stock owned by Mr.
Clark. The Company sold 3,200,000 shares of common stock to an
accredited investors for $.125 per share. Proceeds to the Company
were $400,000.
Year 2000
The Company has completed its assessment of year 2000 issues on
its computer systems, applications and water facilities.
Conversion and testing activities have been completed. The
Company's cost for conversion and testing for year 2000 compliance
was less than $10,000. While the company does not believe it has
any material year 2000 problems, the failure to correct a material
problem or the impact of a year 2000 problem on customers and third-
party suppliers could result in an interruption in, or failure of
normal business activities or operations. Failures such as
electric utility may result in service interruptions to the
Company's water system. The Company does not have any retail water
customers and has notified its commercial customers of potential
year 2000 problems. The Company does have emergency preparedness
procedures in the event of extended power service interruption to
restore service to its customers. Such failures could materially
and adversely affect the Company's results of operations, liquidity
and financial condition.

PURE CYCLE CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 1999 and 1998
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Pure Cycle Corporation is engaged in the water management
business providing water and wastewater services to customers
located in the Denver metropolitan area. The Company operates
water and wastewater systems and its operations include designing,
constructing, operating and maintaining systems serving customers
in the Denver metropolitan area and other areas. 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 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.
During its development stage, the Company funded the acquisition
of certain water and its operating activities primarily through
equity and other financing agreements with investors with an
interest in the water management business. These investors are
entitled to participate in the future revenues derived from the
sale of the Company's water. The Company believes that at August
31, 1999, 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 income from fixed price contracts 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
fixed price of a contract is not determinable, the Company uses a
price that is most likely to occur in using the percentage-of-
completion method. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted
contracts are made in the period in which such losses are
determined.
At August 31, 1999, billings in excess of costs and estimated
earnings represent payments on a construction contract under which
the work has not been completed. 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 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.
Investments in Water Projects
The Paradise water supply represents Colorado River water, water
wells, and a federal right-of-way permit for a dam site located
near Debeque, Colorado. The Paradise water supply is recorded at
cost. The Company's investment in the Rangeview water supply is
recorded at cost. Pursuant to the terms of the Comprehensive
Amendment Agreement ("CAA") entered into in 1996, certain investors
in the Rangeview project have the right to receive the first
approximately $31,807,000 from the proceeds of a sale or other
disposition of the Rangeview water supply. The
PURE CYCLE CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
consideration received from those investors for this right to
participate in the proceeds has been reflected in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as a participating interest in the
Rangeview Water Supply.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicated 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,
1999.
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.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications were made to the financial statements
for prior periods to conform to August 31, 1999 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
$310,824 in 1999, $91,832 in 1998, and $1,179,860 in years prior.
PURE CYCLE CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3 - RANGEVIEW WATER SUPPLY (continued)
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 retains 100% of the proceeds in excess of $36,240,000
from the sale or other disposition of the Export Water Supply.
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 revenues remaining after payment of
royalties to the State Land Board. The Company incurred costs of
$4,800 during 1999, and $4,800 during 1998 to operate and maintain
the water system to deliver water to customers within the Service
Area. During fiscal year 1999, the Company delivered approximately
29 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 purchased
the equivalent of 201 residential water taps at $8,165 per tap (or
$1,641,165), and the equivalent of 156 residential wastewater taps
at $4,000 per tap (or $624,000, collectively $2,265,165). Pursuant
to its Service Agreements, the Company received $1,372,014 from the
water tap fees during fiscal 1999, and will receive $624,000 from
the sewer tap fees upon the initiation of construction of the
wastewater treatment facility scheduled for second quarter 2000 for
a combined total of $1,996,014. The Company began construction of
the water system and has incurred costs as of the end of fiscal
year 1999 of $359,000 with the remaining portion of the water
system currently under bonded contract for $591,000 for a combined
total of $950,000. Projected cost for construction of the
wastewater system are $600,000 or combined water and sewer capital
project costs of $1,550,000.
During fiscal 1999, the Company had sales to a single customer
that accounted for 93% of revenue.
NOTE 6 - NOTE RECEIVABLE
In 1995, the Company extended a line of credit to the District.
The loan provides for borrowings of up to $250,000, is unsecured,
bears interest based on the prevailing prime rate plus 2% and,
matures on December 31, 1999. The balance of the note receivable
at August 31, 1999 was $321,794, including accrued interest. The
Company intends to extend the due date to December 31, 2000.
Accordingly, the note has been classified as non-current.

In January 1999, the Company entered into a Plan of
Recapitalization and a Stock Purchase Agreement whereby the Company
authorized the issuance of 500,000 shares of Series C-1 Convertible
Preferred Stock to the Company's President, Mr. Thomas Clark, in
exchange for 500,000 shares of common stock owned by Mr. Clark.
The Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock converts into an

Clark provided the Company has authorized and unissued shares of
Common Stock available. As of August 31, 1999, the shares of
Series C-1 Preferred Stock had not been issued to Mr. Clark.
However, the Company has a binding obligation to issue 500,000
shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock to the Company's President,
Mr. Clark accordingly such shares are reflected in the accompanying
financial statements as authorized and outstanding. The Company
sold 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $.18 per
share to four accredited investors who had previously invested
in the Company. Proceeds to the Company were $90,000.
In August 1998, the Company entered into a Plan of
Recapitalization and a Stock Purchase Agreement whereby the Company
issued 3,200,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to
the Company's President, Mr. Thomas Clark, in exchange for
3,200,000 shares of common stock owned by Mr. Clark. The Series C

shares of Common stock at the election of Mr. Clark provided the
Company has authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock
available. The Company sold 3,200,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock at $.125 per share to four accredited
investors who had previously invested in the Company. Proceeds to
the Company were $400,000. On May 25, 1994, the Company sold
1,600,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $.001 par
value, for $1.00 per share for total proceeds of $1,600,000. On
December 2, 1997, the board of directors of the Company approved a
proposal to exchange the outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock for a new series entitled Series A-1 Convertible Preferred
stock on a one-for-one basis. The proposal was submitted to the
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock for approval. On July 21,
1998, a Certificate of Designation creating the new Series A-1
Preferred Stock was filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware.
Letters of Transmittal were sent to the Series A shareholders with
exchange instructions. At August 31, 1999, 1,590,000 Series A-1
shares had been issued and 1,590,000 Series A shares had been
canceled. As of that date, and continuing to this date, 10,000
shares of Series A have not been submitted for exchange; however
the holder of the Series A-1 certificate only holds a right to
receive Series A-1 shares for such certificate.

NOTE 9 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (continued)
The holders of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock are
entitled to be paid a dividend amount equal to $2.00 per share
represented by a Participating Interest in the CAA. The Series A-1
Preferred Stock is convertible into 4 shares of Common Stock at the
election of the Company or the holders of the Preferred Stock.
During years prior to 1994, the Company was charged for the
reimbursement of costs, administrative services and rent expense by

Stock Options
Pursuant to the Company's Equity Incentive Plan, the Company has
granted Mr. Fletcher Byrom, Ms. Margaret Hansson and Mr. George
Middlemas options to purchase 7,000,000, 8,000,000, and 1,000,000
shares of common stock respectively at an exercise price of $.18
per share which expire in 2002. The Company has also granted Mr.
Mark Harding options to purchase 7,000,000 shares of common stock
at the exercise price of $.18 per share, of which 1,000,000 shares
will vest in annual increments of 250,000 shares beginning March
12, 1998.
The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has
been recognized for stock options granted to key employees under
the Equity Incentive Plan. 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, 1999 and 1998:
Net loss: 1999 1998

Pro forma (368,772) (529,354)
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 1999: 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, 1999 and 1998, and changes during the years then
ended is presented below:

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
From time to time since December 6, 1987, Thomas P. Clark, a
Director and President of the Company, loaned funds to the Company
to cover operating expenses. 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, 2000. To date, Mr. Clark has loaned the
Company $284,178 of which $43,350 has been repaid, leaving a
balance of $240,828. As of August 31, 1999, accrued interest on
the Notes totaled $182,672. 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 1, 2000. No additional consideration is due
to LCH, Inc. for the deferral. The board members, other than Mr.
Clark, determined the transactions are at fair market value taking
into consideration the risk to LCH, Inc.
