ORGANIZATION | NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION Pure Cycle Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in 1976 and reincorporated in Colorado in 2008. The Company owns assets in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area and in Southeast Colorado. The Company is currently using its water assets located in the Denver metropolitan area to provide wholesale water and wastewater services to customers located in the Denver metropolitan area. The Company is leasing its farm land in the Arkansas River Valley to area farmers. The Company provides a full line of water and wastewater services which includes designing and constructing water and wastewater systems as well as operating and maintaining such systems. The Company’s business focus is to provide wholesale water and wastewater services, predominately to local governmental entities, which provide services to their end-use customers throughout the Denver metropolitan area as well as along the Colorado Front Range. The Company believes it has sufficient working capital and financing sources to fund its operations for at least the next fiscal year. As of August 31, 2013, the Company had $2.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, and $4.5 million of working capital. During fiscal year end 2013, the Company sold the 1.5 million shares of Pure Cycle common stock issued to High Plains A&M, LLC (“HP A&M”), which were pledged as security for certain debt obligations, in a foreclosure sale for $3.5 million or $2.35 per share. The Company’s ability to generate working capital from its water and wastewater projects is dependent on its ability to successfully market its water, or in the event it is unsuccessful, to sell the underlying water assets. In the event increased sales are not achieved or the Company is unable to sell its water assets at a sufficient level, the Company may have to issue additional short or long-term debt or seek to sell additional shares of the Company’s common or preferred stock to generate sufficient working capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in marketing its water on terms that are acceptable to the Company.
