SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In June 2017, The Company entered into purchase and sale agreements (collectively, the “Purchase and Sale Contracts”) with three separate home builders pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and each builder agreed to purchase, a certain number (totaling 506) of single-family, detached residential lots at the Sky Ranch property. Each builder is required to purchase water and sewer taps for the lots from the Rangeview District.

 

The closing of the transactions contemplated by each Purchase and Sale Contract is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, the builder’s completion to its satisfaction of a title review and other due diligence of the property, the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Company in the Purchase and Sale Contract, and a commitment by the title company to issue to the builder a title policy, subject to certain conditions. Each builder had a 60-day due diligence period during which it had the right to terminate the Purchase and Sale Contract and receive a full refund of its earnest money deposit. The initial due diligence period was extended. Subsequent to year end, on November 10, 2017, each builder completed its due diligence period and agreed to continue with its respective Purchase and Sale Contract.

 

The Company is obligated, pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Contracts, or separate Lot Development Agreements (the “Lot Development Agreements” and, together with the Purchase and Sale Contracts, the “Builder Contracts”), to construct infrastructure and other improvements, such as roads, curbs and gutters, park amenities, sidewalks, street and traffic signs, water and sanitary sewer mains and stubs, storm water management facilities, and lot grading improvements for delivery of finished lots to each builder. Pursuant to the Builder Contracts, the Company must cause the Rangeview District to install and construct off-site infrastructure improvements (i.e., drainage and storm water retention ponds, a wastewater reclamation facility, and wholesale water facilities) for the provision of water and wastewater service to the property. In conjunction with approvals with Arapahoe County for the Sky Ranch project, The Company and/or the Rangeview District and the Sky Ranch Districts are obligated to deposit into an account the anticipated costs to install and construct substantially all the off-site infrastructure improvements (which include drainage, wholesale water and wastewater, and entry roadway), which is estimated to be approximately $10.2 million.

 

The Company estimates that the development of the finished lots for the first phase (506 lots) of Sky Ranch will require an estimated total capital of approximately $27.8 million and estimates lot sales to home builders will generate approximately $35 million providing a projected margin on lots of approximately $7.2 million. The cost of developing lots together with the sale of finished lots are expected to occur over several quarters and the timing of cash flows will include certain milestone deliveries, including but not limited to completion of governmental approvals, installation of improvements, and completion of lot deliveries. Utility revenues are derived from tap fees (which vary depending on lot size, house size, and amount of irrigated turf) and usage fees (which are monthly water and wastewater fees). The current Sky Ranch water tap fees are $26,650 (per SFE), and wastewater taps fees are $4,659 (per SFE).
