RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | 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’s membership in the South Metro Water Supply Authority (“SMWSA”). The Company provided $600 and $55,000 of funding to the District pursuant to the Participation Agreement during the three months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These amounts were expensed as general and administrative expenses at the time of funding. On November 10, 2014, the Company entered into a WISE Financing Agreement with the District, whereby the Company agreed to fund the District’s cost of participating in a regional water supply project known as the WISE partnership (“WISE”). Pursuant to the WISE Financing Agreement, the Company made payments of $535,200 during the three months ended November 30, 2014, to purchase certain rights to use existing water transmission and related infrastructure acquired by the WISE. The Company estimates that it will be required to invest approximately $1.2 million per year over the next five years for additional payments for the water transmission line and additional facilities, water and related assets for WISE. 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 November 30, 2014) and matured on December 31, 2013. The Company extended the maturity date of the loan to December 31, 2015. The $596,000 balance of the note receivable at November 30, 2014, includes borrowings of $254,300 and accrued interest of $341,700. Beginning January 2014 the District and the Company entered into a funding agreement which allows the Company to continue to provide funding to the District for day-to-day operations and accrue the funding into a note which bears interest at a rate of 8% and shall remain in full force and effect for so long as the 2014 Amended and Restated Lease Agreement remains in effect.
