x

PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

On the last day of the registrant’s fiscal year, August 31, 2006, the registrant closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement with High Plains A&M, LLC (the “Seller”) pursuant to which the registrant acquired (i) approximately 60,000 acre-feet of water rights in the Arkansas River and its tributaries, (ii) approximately 17,500 acres of real property, and (iii) certain contract rights, tangible personal property, mineral rights, and other water interests associated with the real property.

The transaction significantly increased the assets of the registrant and included a number of complex features which significantly increased the amount of time necessary to complete the registrant’s financial statements.  The Registrant requested the Commission review certain aspects of its accounting for this Asset Purchase Agreement which review was completed on March 14, 2007. As a result of this review, the Registrant is completing the final valuation of the “Tap Participation Fees payable to HP A&M” liability. This valuation is complex and will result in the restatement of the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2006 and Interim Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended November 30, 2006. The valuation is currently being audited by the Registrant’s former auditor, and upon completion the Registrant expects to amend and restate the above listed reports and file the Interim Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended February 28, 2007. The Registrant is requesting this extension to complete the valuation and restatements of its previously issued financial statements.
