PRESENTATION OF INTERIM INFORMATION [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | The May 31, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, the condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared by Pure Cycle Corporation (the “Company”) and have not been audited. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at May 31, 2021, and for all periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 10, 2020. The results of operations for interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full fiscal year. The August 31, 2020 balance sheet was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") | Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) On March 27, 2020, Congress enacted the CARES Act to provide certain relief because of the recent outbreak of a novel strain of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. The CARES Act provides numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including temporary changes regarding the prior and future utilization of net operating losses, temporary changes to the prior and future limitations on interest deductions, temporary suspension of certain payment requirements for the employer portion of Social Security taxes, technical corrections from prior tax legislation for tax depreciation of certain qualified improvement property, and the creation of certain refundable employee retention credits. COVID-19 has delayed the second phase of the Sky Ranch development revenue recognition due to the extended time taken to approve the platted lots through the County Government. Other than the delay of the approval of the platted lots, there has not been a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of the CARES Act.
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used to account for certain items such as revenue recognition, timing and amount of reimbursable costs and expenses and the associated repayment, costs of revenue for lot sales, share-based compensation, deferred tax asset and liability valuation, depreciation, and the recoverability of long-lived assets. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment due to COVID-19. During the nine months ended May 31, 2021, the Company revised its estimates to conclude that the reimbursable public improvements, project management revenue and interest income related to the first development phase at Sky Ranch are reasonably assured of payment. Historically, due to a lack of tax base and no operating history for the Sky Ranch Community Authority Board (the “Sky Ranch CAB”), the Company was unable to estimate when or if it would receive payment for these items and deferred recognition of them until the cash was received from the Sky Ranch CAB. As a result of an established and growing tax base resulting from the success of the initial filing, added mill levies, and additional unencumbered fees received by the Sky Ranch CAB, the Company believes repayment of the public improvements, payment of the project management fees, and interest income are deemed reasonably assured. Based on this, the Company has recognized these items in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The timing and amount of these potential payments have been estimated by the Company based on sales and growth trends utilizing current assessed home values and historic growth rates which have been projected to the current and contracted for lot sales through the contractual obligation period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Company continually assesses new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequences of the change to its consolidated financial statements and to ensure that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s consolidated financial statements properly reflect the change. New pronouncements assessed by the Company recently are discussed below: In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). Among other things, ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Companies will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 was set to be effective for public companies on January 1, 2020; however, the FASB delayed the effective date for smaller reporting companies, which for the Company the effective date is September 1, 2023. The Company continues to monitor economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic; however, based on current market conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-13 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
