Events. </B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">As previously disclosed in its filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and most recently in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. (the
&ldquo;Company&rdquo;) has been involved in lengthy negotiations with the Cayman Islands government with respect to obtaining a
renewal of its exclusive license to provide water to retail customers in the Seven Mile Beach and West Bay areas of Great Grand
Cayman Island.&nbsp; For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company generated approximately 39% of its consolidated revenues
and 54% of its consolidated gross profits from its retail water operations conducted pursuant to the Company&rsquo;s exclusive
license.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company was recently advised in correspondence from the
Cayman Islands government and the Water Authority-Cayman (&ldquo;WAC&rdquo;) that: (i) the WAC is now the principal negotiator,
and not the Cayman Islands government, in these license negotiations, and (ii) the WAC has determined that the &ldquo;rate of return
on invested capital&rdquo; model (&ldquo;RCAM&rdquo;) is in the best interest of the public and the Company&rsquo;s customers.&nbsp;
RCAM is the rate model currently utilized in the electricity transmission and distribution license granted by the Cayman Islands
government to the Caribbean Utilities Company, Ltd.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On July 3, 2012, in an effort to resolve several issues relating
to the Company&rsquo;s retail license renewal negotiations, the Company filed an Application for Leave to Apply for Judicial Review
(the &ldquo;Application&rsquo;) with the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands (the &ldquo;Court&rdquo;), stating that:&nbsp; (i) certain
provisions of The Water Authority Law, 2011 and The Water (Production and Supply) Law, 2011, appear to be incompatible, (ii) the
WAC&rsquo;s roles as the principal license negotiator, statutory regulator and the Company&rsquo;s competitor put the WAC in a
position of hopeless conflict, &nbsp;and (iii) the WAC&rsquo;s decision to replace the Company&rsquo;s rate structure under its
current exclusive license with RCAM was predetermined and unreasonable.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Throughout the course of the retail license renewal negotiations,
the Company has objected to the use of RCAM on the basis that the Company believes that such a model would not promote the efficient
operation of the Company&rsquo;s water utility and could ultimately increase water rates to the Company&rsquo;s customers.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company believes that the Court will agree to consider the
issues raised by the Company in the Application.&nbsp; If the Court agrees to consider the issues set forth in the Application,
the Company, the Cayman Islands government and the Water Authority-Cayman would have the opportunity to present their positions
to the Court in a trial proceeding.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">If the Court does not agree to consider the issues raised in
the Application, the Company&rsquo;s recourse would be to file an appeal with the Court of Appeal of the Cayman Islands or continue
to engage in negotiations for a new license agreement with the Cayman Islands government.&nbsp; If the Company does not ultimately
enter into a new license agreement and no other party is awarded a license, the Company expects to be permitted to continue to
supply water to the Company&rsquo;s service area, subject to entering into a new license.&nbsp; However, the terms of any new
license may not be as favorable to the Company as the terms in its July 1990 license agreement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">It is possible that the Cayman Islands government could offer
a third party a license to service some or all of the Company&rsquo;s present service area.&nbsp; In such event, the Company may
assume the license offered to the third party by exercising its right of first refusal.&nbsp; However, the terms of the new license
agreement may not be as favorable to the Company as the terms under which the Company is presently operating and could reduce the
operating income and cash flows that the Company has historically generated from its retail license and could require the Company
to record an impairment loss to reduce the $3.6 million carrying value of the Company&rsquo;s goodwill.&nbsp; Such impairment loss
could be material to the Company&rsquo;s results of operations.</P>
