On December 16, 2009, the Company entered into a Participation Agreement with the District, whereby the Company agreed to provide funding to the District in connection with the District joining the South Metro Water Supply Authority ("SMWSA"). The Company provided funding of $78,600, $114,900, and $139,500 for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. The funding was recorded as a note receivable for the year ended August 31, 2015, and was expensed in the general and administrative expenses line in the accompanying statements of operations for each of the years ended August 31, 2014 and 2013.

Through the WISE Financing Agreement, the Company made payments of $2,537,800 to purchase certain rights to use existing water transmission and related infrastructure acquired by the WISE project during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2015. The Company anticipates investing approximately $1.2 million per year for the next five years for additional payments for the water transmission line and additional facilities, water and related assets for the WISE project. The Company also funded the District's obligations to repay approximately $1.4 million borrowed by the District from certain SMWA members to finance the purchase of infrastructure for WISE pursuant to the WISE Financing Agreement. The note was repaid in full during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015.

In 1995, the Company extended a loan to the District, a related party. The loan provided for borrowings of up to $250,000, is unsecured, bears interest based on the prevailing prime rate plus 2% (5.25% at August 31, 2015) and matured on December 31, 2014. The Company extended the maturity date of the loan to December 31, 2020. Beginning in January 2014, the District and the Company entered into a funding agreement that allows the Company to continue to provide funding to the District for day-to-day operations and accrue the funding into a note that bears interest at a rate of 8% and shall remain in full force and effect for so long as the Lease remains in effect. The $591,200 balance of the note receivable at August 31, 2015, includes borrowings of $237,000 and accrued interest of $354,200. The $568,000 balance of the note receivable at August 31, 2014 includes borrowings of $229,300 and accrued interest of $338,700.
