PURE CYCLE CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

November 30, 2024

​

NOTE 1 – PRESENTATION OF INTERIM INFORMATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Pure Cycle Corporation (the “Company” or “Pure Cycle”) and include all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of and for the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023. The August 31, 2024 balance sheet was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

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 the accompanying 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 year ended August 31, 2024 (“2024 Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 13, 2024. The results of operations for interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full fiscal year.

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, dollar amount of reimbursable costs and collectability of reimbursable costs, costs of revenue for lot sales, share-based compensation, and the useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-07"), which requires expanded disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning September 1, 2024, and interim periods beginning September 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2023-07 will have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires expanded disclosure of our income rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning September 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2023-09 will have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.

Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 2 – REIMBURSABLE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS AND NOTE RECEIVABLE FROM THE SKY RANCH COMMUNITY AUTHORITY BOARD

The Sky Ranch Community Authority Board (“Sky Ranch CAB”) and the Company’s agreements with the Sky Ranch CAB are described in greater detail in Notes 5 and 15 to the 2024 Annual Report.

The notes receivable – related party, reimbursable public improvements and project management fees are due to the Company from the Sky Ranch CAB and reports the balances owed by the Sky Ranch CAB to the Company for public improvements paid for by Pure Cycle which are reimbursable from the Sky Ranch CAB and include project management fees related to the Company’s management of the

construction of the public improvements, and interest accrued on the unpaid balances related to the ongoing development of the Sky Ranch master planned community (Sky Ranch). Pure Cycle has advanced funds to the Sky Ranch CAB for the cost of constructing certain public improvements at Sky Ranch which are the ultimate responsibility of the Sky Ranch CAB. During the three months ended November 30, 2024, Pure Cycle spent $4.2 million on public improvements which are payable by the Sky Ranch CAB to Pure Cycle. Since Pure Cycle believes the amounts are probable of collection, they have been added to the note receivable from the Sky Ranch CAB. Additionally, for the three months ended November 30, 2024, project management fees of $0.2 million and interest income on the outstanding note receivable of $0.5 million were also added to the note receivable. During the three months ended November 30, 2024, the Sky Ranch CAB paid Pure Cycle $10.3 million pursuant to the note. Pursuant to the agreements with the Sky Ranch CAB, any payments received are initially applied to interest.

​

During the three months ended November 30, 2023, Pure Cycle spent $2.5 million on public improvements which are payable by the Sky Ranch CAB to Pure Cycle. Since Pure Cycle believes the amounts are probable of collection, they have been added to the note receivable from the Sky Ranch CAB. Additionally, for the three months ended November 30, 2023, project management fees of less than $0.1 million and interest income on the outstanding note receivable of $0.7 million were also added to the note receivable. No payments were made on the note receivable during the three months ended November 30, 2023. Pursuant to the agreements with the Sky Ranch CAB, any payments received are initially applied to interest.

​

The following table summarizes the activity and balances associated with the note receivable from the Sky Ranch CAB:

​

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Three Months Ended
​ | ​ | November 30, 2024 |  | November 30, 2023
Beginning balance | ​ | $ | 40,964 | ​ | $ | 24,999
Additions | ​ | ​ | 4,888 | ​ | ​ | 3,271
Payments received | ​ | ​ | (10,272) | ​ | ​ | —
Ending balance | ​ | $ | 35,580 | ​ | $ | 28,270

​

The note receivable from the Sky Ranch CAB accrues interest at 6% per annum. Public improvements which do not qualify for reimbursement at the time of being incurred are considered contract fulfillment costs and are recorded as land development construction costs as incurred. If public improvement costs are deemed qualified for reimbursement, the costs are recognized as notes receivable - related party. The Company assesses the collectability of the note receivable from the Sky Ranch CAB, which includes reimbursable public improvements, project management fees and the related interest income, at each reporting period. The Sky Ranch CAB has an obligation to repay the Company, but the ability of the Sky Ranch CAB to do so before the contractual termination dates is dependent upon the establishment of a tax base or other fee generating activities sufficient to fund reimbursable costs incurred.

NOTE 3 – REVENUES, FEES AND OTHER INCOME ITEMS

The Company’s revenue is primarily generated from sales of water and wastewater taps, metered water and wastewater usage, the sale of lots to homebuilders, and rent collected from its single-family homes. Detailed descriptions of the policies related to revenue recognition are included in Note 2 to the 2024 Annual Report.

The following describes significant components of revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023.

Water and wastewater tap fees – During the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company sold a total of 38 and 15 water taps generating $1.2 million and $0.5 million in tap fee revenues. During the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company sold a total of 35 and 15 wastewater taps generating $0.3 million and $0.1 million in tap fee revenues. The water taps were all sold at Sky Ranch and Wild Pointe, and the wastewater taps were all sold at Sky Ranch.

Metered water usage and wastewater treatment fees – During the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company sold a total of 301 and 623 acre-feet of water generating $1.2 million and $2.4 million in metered water and wastewater treatment fees revenue. The Company provides water and wastewater services to customers, for which the customers are charged monthly usage fees. Water usage fees are assessed to customers based on actual metered usage each month plus a base monthly service fee assessed per single family equivalent (“SFE”) unit served. One SFE is a customer, whether residential, commercial or industrial, that imparts a demand on the Company’s water or wastewater systems similar to the demand of a family of four persons living in a single-family house on a standard-sized lot. Water usage pricing is based on a tiered pricing structure, and certain usage revenues are subject to royalties as

described in the 2024 Annual Report. The Company also sells water for industrial uses, mainly to oil and gas companies for use in the drilling and hydraulic fracking processes.

Lot sales – For the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $2.3 million and $1.9 million of lot sales revenue, which was recognized using the percent-of-completion method for the Company’s land development activities at the Sky Ranch Master Planned Community. As of November 30, 2024, the first development phase (509 lots) is complete and the second development phase (886 lots) is being developed in four subphases, referred to as Phase 2A (229 lots), Phase 2B (211 lots), Phase 2C (228 lots) and Phase 2D (218 lots). As of November 30, 2024, Phase 2A is nearly 100% complete, Phase 2B is approximately 97% complete and Phase 2C is approximately 41% complete. Phase 2A and 2B are substantially completed with some landscaping items remaining. Phase 2C is expected to be complete by the end of Pure Cycle’s fiscal 2025 and Phase 2D began construction in December of 2024.

Project management fees – During each of the three-month periods ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.1 million of project management revenue from the Sky Ranch CAB, a related party, for managing the Sky Ranch development project.

Single-family rental revenue

As of November 30, 2024, Pure Cycle has 14 single-family detached homes rented under separate lease agreements. Pure Cycle generally rents its single-family properties under non-cancelable one-year lease agreements. For the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $0.1 million and $0.1 million of rental property revenues.

Pure Cycle will begin construction on 17 additional rental homes in Phase 2B, all of which the Company believes will be available for rent in fiscal 2025. As of November 30, 2024, the Company had reserved 84 lots in Phases 2B, 2C and 2D of Sky Ranch for future rental units. When combined with the 14 units already built and rented, these additions will bring the total single-family rentals to 98. The Company expects to take approximately three more years to build and rent all these units. Based on these projections, the Company believes this could become a reportable operating segment in the future once its operations become material.

Special facility projects and other revenue

Pure Cycle receives fees from customers including municipalities and area water providers for contract operations services. These fees are recognized as earned, typically monthly, plus charges for additional work performed. Additionally, the Company performs certain construction activities at Sky Ranch. The activities performed include construction and maintenance services. The revenue for both types of services are invoiced and recognized as special facility projects revenue. For the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.3 million of special facility projects and other revenue, an immaterial amount of which is from work performed for the Sky Ranch CAB, a related party.

Balance at November 30, 2023 | ​ | $ | 50 | ​ | $ | 3,791 | ​ | $ | 3,841

​

The Company receives deposits or pre-payments from oil and gas operators to reserve water for use in future well drilling and fracking operations. When the operators use the water, the Company recognizes the revenue for these payments in the metered water usage from the commercial customers’ line on the statement of income.

The Company recognizes lot sales over time as construction activities progress and not necessarily when payment is received. For example, the Company may receive milestone payments before revenue can be recognized (i.e., prior to the Company completing cumulative progress which faithfully represents the transfer of goods and services to the customer) which results in the Company recording deferred revenue. The Company recognizes this revenue into income as construction activities progress, measured based on costs incurred compared to total estimated costs of the project, which management believes is a faithful representation of the transfer of goods and services to the customer.

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations such as described above represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes unearned revenue and amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future periods.

​

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value accounting guidance includes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).

​

The carrying value for certain of the Company’s financial instruments (i.e., cash, restricted cash, short term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, the SFR Notes and the Lost Creek Note, each as defined in Note 6 below) materially approximate their fair value because of their short-term nature and generally negligible credit losses.

As of November 30, 2024 and August 31, 2024, the Company had no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. As of November 30, 2024 and August 31, 2024, the Company had one Level 3 asset (notes receivable – related party), for which the Company did not record any impairment charges.

There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 categories during the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023.

​

NOTE 5 – WATER, LAND AND OTHER FIXED ASSETS

The Company’s water rights and current water and wastewater service agreements, including capitalized terms not defined herein, are more fully described in Note 4 to the 2024 Annual Report.

​

During the three months ended November 30, 2024, the Company’s Lost Creek water supply increased $3.5 million, primarily from the acquisition of 378 acre-feet of ditch water in the Henrylyn Irrigation District and 300 acre-feet of groundwater rights in the Lost Creek Designated Basin.

​

Construction in Progress

​

The construction in progress account represents costs incurred on various construction projects currently underway that as of the balance sheet date have not been completed and placed into service. The construction in progress account consists primarily of costs incurred relating to water facilities and Sky Ranch infrastructure being constructed, which Pure Cycle anticipates will be placed in service during the next 12 months. During the three months ended November 30, 2024, the Company incurred $0.4 million of costs related to construction in Sky Ranch and water and wastewater construction projects. The Company capitalized $1.0 million of costs as projects were completed and placed into service during the three months ended November 30, 2024.

​

Single-Family Rental Homes

As of November 30, 2024, Pure Cycle has 14 single-family detached homes rented under separate lease agreements. Pure Cycle will begin construction on 17 additional rental homes in Phase 2B, all of which the Company believes will be available for rent in fiscal 2025. As of November 30, 2024, the Company had reserved 84 lots in Phases 2B, 2C and 2D of Sky Ranch for future rental units. When combined with the 14 units already built and rented, these additions will bring the total single-family rentals to 98.

NOTE 12 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

​

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Certain outstanding options are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because they are anti-dilutive (i.e., their assumed conversion into common stock would increase rather than decrease EPS). For the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company excluded 404,060 options and 487,882 options because their impact was anti-dilutive.

NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES

The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. As of November 30, 2024, the Company is estimating an annual effective tax rate of approximately 24%. Each quarter, the estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if the estimated effective tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made. There is a potential for volatility of the effective tax rate due to various factors.

The provision for income taxes is recorded at the end of each interim period based on the Company’s best estimate of its effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year considering any items requiring discrete recognition.

​

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended November 30, 2024, was impacted by adjustments related to reconciling items between the Company’s books and tax returns.

The housing market stabilized in 2024 as the Federal Reserve shifted from an aggressive monetary policy in 2023 to a balance policy in 2024 with interest rates remaining relatively consistent throughout 2024. However, with the rising interest rates in 2022 and 2023, the 30-year fixed mortgage rates are still at their highest level in over 15 years. Homebuilders' strategic use of interest rate buydowns as incentives has played a crucial role in driving sales during higher levels of interest rates.

​

We believe several long-term land development and housing market fundamental factors remain positive, including favorable demographics, a lot and housing supply-demand imbalance resulting from a decade-plus of underproduction of new homes in relation to population growth, and low resale home inventory. While we remain confident in the long-term growth prospects for the industry given these factors, the current demand for new homes is subject to continued uncertainty due to many factors. The combination of higher mortgage interest rates since early 2022, several years of rising housing prices, elevated inflation, and various other macroeconomic and geopolitical concerns, has been moderating housing demand. Although interest and inflation rates have been stabilizing, we expect this moderate demand to continue into 2025. Given current conditions, we will continue to monitor market dynamics and surrounding community performance and adjust the timing of additional construction expenditures at Sky Ranch as necessary. We believe our reasonably priced (entry level) lots and the low inventory of entry level housing in the Denver market will help Sky Ranch navigate the changing market better than other surrounding and significantly higher priced communities.

​

Our future performance and the strategies we implement (and adjust or refine as necessary or appropriate) will depend significantly on prevailing economics, the homebuilding industry, capital, credit and financial market conditions and a fairly stable and constructive political and regulatory environment (particularly regarding housing and mortgage loan financing policies). The continuing impact of the Federal Reserve’s aggressive raising of the federal funds interest rate and other measures during 2022 and 2023 to moderate persistent U.S. inflation and the uncertainty in future Federal Reserve monetary policy, are expected to be an ongoing headwind for the housing market in 2025 and beyond, as they have elevated mortgage loan interest rates and created macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility across financial markets. Prolonged supply chain disruptions and other production-related challenges could extend or delay our construction cycle times and intensify construction-related cost pressures beyond our experience in 2024. In addition, consumer demand for our homes, and our ability to grow our scale, revenue and returns in fiscal 2025 could be materially and negatively affected by the above-described monetary policy impacts or other factors that curtail mortgage loan availability, employment or income growth or consumer confidence in the U.S. or in the Colorado markets. The potential extent and effect of these factors on our business is highly uncertain, unpredictable and outside our control, and our past performance, including in fiscal 2024, should not be considered indicative of our future results.

Our Business Strategy

​

For more than 30 years, we have accumulated and continue to accumulate a portfolio of valuable water rights and land interests along the Front Range of Colorado. We have added an extensive network of wholesale water production, storage, treatment and distribution systems, and wastewater collection and treatment systems that we operate and maintain to serve domestic, commercial, and industrial customers in the eastern Denver metropolitan region. Our primary land asset, known as Sky Ranch, is in one of the most active development areas in the Denver metropolitan region along the rapidly developing I-70 corridor, and we are developing lots at Sky Ranch for residential, commercial, retail, and light industrial uses. Sky Ranch is zoned to include up to 3,200 single family and multifamily homes, parks, open spaces, trails, recreational centers, schools, and over two million square feet of retail, commercial and light industrial space, all of which will be serviced by our water and wastewater services segment. Additionally, we have retained lots in our Sky Ranch development for our single-family rental business where we build single-family homes for rent, typically under annual lease agreements. With 14 homes currently owned and rented, we continue to expand this new line of business which may include more than 200 rental homes at Sky Ranch over the next several years.

Although we report our results of operations through our water and wastewater resource development segment and our land development segment, we operate these segments as a cohesive business designed to provide a cost effective, sustainable, and value-added business enterprise.

​

Water and Wastewater

​

Water resources throughout the western U.S., and particularly in Colorado, are a scarce and valuable resource. Our owned and/or controlled portfolio of more than 30,000 acre-feet of water is comprised of groundwater, designated basin groundwater, and surface water supplies. Our other significant water assets include 26,000 acre-feet of adjudicated reservoir sites, two wastewater reclamation facilities, water treatment facilities, potable and raw water storage facilities, wells and water production facilities, and roughly 50 miles of water distribution and wastewater collection lines. Our water supplies and wholesale facilities are primarily located in southeast Denver, an area which is limited in both water availability and infrastructure to produce, treat, store, and distribute water and wastewater. We believe this provides us with a unique competitive advantage in offering these services.

​

We provide wholesale water and wastewater service to local governments for both residential and commercial customers. The local governments we serve include the Rangeview Metropolitan District (“Rangeview District”), Arapahoe County, the Sky Ranch Community Authority Board and related metropolitan districts (“Sky Ranch CAB”), and the Elbert and Highway 86 Commercial Metropolitan District (“Elbert 86 District”). Our mission is to provide sustainable, reliable, high-quality water to our customers and collect, treat, and reuse wastewater using advance water treatment systems, which produce high quality reclaimed water we can reuse for outdoor irrigation and industrial demands. By using and reusing our water supplies, we proactively manage our valuable water rights in the water-scarce Denver, Colorado region which dramatically reduces the environmental impact of our water resource operations. We design, permit, construct, operate and maintain wholesale water and wastewater systems that we own or operate on behalf of governmental entities. We also design, permit, construct, operate, and maintain retail distribution and collection systems that we own or exclusively operate on behalf of our governmental customers. Additionally, we handle administrative functions, including meter reading, billing and collection of monthly water and wastewater revenues, regulatory water quality monitoring, sampling, testing, and reporting requirements to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

​

Revenues for our water operations are dependent on us growing the number of customers we serve. If we are unable to add customers to our systems and sell taps to builders, our revenues could be negatively impacted. We currently are the developer of the Sky Ranch Master Planned Community, which is the main driver of our tap sales. Prolonged periods of hot and dry weather generally cause increased water usage for watering lawns, washing cars, and keeping parks irrigated. Additionally, prolonged periods of dry weather could lead to drought restrictions and limited water availability. Despite our substantial water supply, customers may be required to conserve water usage under such drought restrictions which would negatively impact metered usage revenues. We have addressed some of this vulnerability by instituting minimum customer charges which are intended to cover fixed costs of operations under all likely weather conditions.

Land Development

​

Our Land Development segment is primarily focused on developing the Sky Ranch Master Planned Community located along the booming I-70 corridor. We develop and sell residential, commercial, retail, and light industrial lots. Sky Ranch is zoned to include up to 3,200 single-family and multifamily homes, parks, open spaces, trails, recreational centers, and schools. Additionally, Sky Ranch is zoned to include over two million square feet of retail, commercial, and light industrial space, which is the equivalent of approximately 1,800 residential units, meaning the Sky Ranch community at build-out will include a total of roughly 5,000 residential and equivalent units. Our land development activities include the design, permitting, and construction of all the horizontal infrastructure, including, storm water, drainage, roads, curbs, sidewalks, parks, open space, trails, and other infrastructure to deliver “ready to build” finished lots to home builders and commercial customers. Our land development activities generate revenue from the sale of finished lots as well as construction revenues from activities where we construct infrastructure on behalf of others. Land development revenues come from our home builder customers under specific agreements for the delivery of finished lots. Additionally, pursuant to certain agreements with the Sky Ranch CAB and its related metropolitan districts, on their behalf we construct public infrastructure such as roads, curbs, storm water, drainage, sidewalks, parks, open space, trails etc., the costs of which are reimbursed to us by the Sky Ranch CAB through funds generated from property taxes, fees or the issuance of municipal bonds.

​

Our land development activities provide a strategic complement to our water and wastewater activities because a significant component of any master planned community is providing high quality domestic water, irrigation water, and wastewater to the community. Having control over land and the water and wastewater services enables us to build infrastructure for potable water and irrigation distribution, wastewater and storm water collection, roads, parks, open spaces, and other investments efficiently and to manage delivery of these investments to match take-down commitments from our home builder customers without significant excess capacity in any of these investments.

​

We have been developing the Sky Ranch community since 2017, which we are developing in phases. We believe it will take approximately eight to ten more years to fully develop Sky Ranch. In 2017, we began the initial development phase of Sky Ranch when we entered separate contracts with several national homebuilders, pursuant to which we sold a total of 505 single-family, detached residential lots at Sky Ranch. Pursuant to these agreements, we were obligated to construct infrastructure and other public improvements as well as wholesale infrastructure improvements (i.e., a wastewater reclamation facility and wholesale water facilities). Phase 1 of the Sky Ranch development is complete, and all revenue and costs have been recognized.

​

During our fiscal 2021, we began construction on the second development phase at Sky Ranch. For this phase, we entered separate contracts with KB Home, Lennar Colorado, Melody (a DR Horton Company), and Challenger Homes to sell 781 single-family attached and detached residential lots at Sky Ranch, and we retained approximately 93 lots (through such contracts and subsequent amendments) for use in our single-family home rental business. The second development phase is approximately 250 acres and is being completed in four sub-phases (referred to as Phase 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D). Due to our strong performance in the first phase of the Sky Ranch project, we were able to realize an approximate 38% increase in our average lot prices in Phase 2. For example, we increased our sales price for a 45’ foot lot from an average of $75,000 to $103,200 and added an escalation clause that increases the prices depending on timing of payments. The timing of cash flows includes certain milestone deliveries such as the completion of governmental approvals for final plats, installation of wet utilities, and final completion of lot deliveries.

​

In February 2021, we began construction activities in Phase 2A at Sky Ranch, which has 229 residential lots, 10 of which we have retained for use in our single-family rental business. Contracts with three of the four homebuilders include milestone payments as construction progresses, with the fourth homebuilder contract having one payment due at delivery of the finished lot (i.e., the transfer of the title). As of November 30, 2024, Phase 2A of the Sky Ranch development is nearly 100% complete, and we have received all $18.4 million of payments related to the sale of the 219 lots in Phase 2A.

​

In March 2023, we began construction activities in Phase 2B at Sky Ranch, which is platted for 211 residential lots, 17 of which we have retained for use in our single-family rental business. Contracts with three of the four homebuilders in Phase 2B include milestone payments as construction progresses, with the fourth homebuilder having one payment due at the transfer of title of the finished lots. As of November 30, 2024, Phase 2B of the Sky Ranch development is approximately 97% complete, and we have received all $17.3 million of payments related to the sale of the 211 lots in Phase 2B.

​

In February 2024, we began construction activities in Phase 2C at Sky Ranch, which is platted for 228 residential lots, 40 of which we have retained for use in our single-family rental business. Contracts with three of the four homebuilders in Phase 2C include milestone

payments as construction progresses, with the fourth homebuilder having one payment due at the transfer of title of the finished lots. As of November 30, 2024, Phase 2C of the Sky Ranch development is approximately 41% complete. As of November 30, 2024, we received $3.4 million, which consists of the first milestone payments from the three builders with milestone payment contracts. We expect the second milestone and finished lot payment for Phase 2C, which totals $14.4 million, to be received over the next 9 months.

​

We recognize revenue earned under contracts with milestone payments over time using the percentage of completion method which aligns the recognition of revenue with the requisite progress made on construction activities. During the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, due to the construction progress in Phase 2A, 2B and 2C, we recognized $2.3 million and $1.9 million of lot sales revenue related to construction at Sky Ranch. Due to construction progress, we have recognized a total of $18.3 million of lot sales revenue since construction began on Phase 2A, $16.7 million of lot sales revenue since construction began on Phase 2B, and $4.1 million of lot sales revenue since construction began on Phase 2C as of November 30, 2024. We expect to recognize the majority of the remaining $0.1 million of revenue for Phase 2A over the next 3 months, the remaining $0.5 million of revenue for Phase 2B over the next 6 months and the remaining $13.7 million of revenue from all four homebuilders for Phase 2C before the end of our fiscal 2025.

​

Remaining payments for lot sales and the related revenue for Phase 2D will occur as construction of that phase occurs. We believe it will take approximately two more years to complete construction and sell the finished lots in all four subphases depending on market conditions and the permitting process.

In addition to the lot sales described above, from the start of development at Sky Ranch through November 30, 2024, we have received $25.0 million of water and wastewater tap fees from the homebuilders, which is for all 509 taps sold in Phase 1 (with four being allocated to our single-family rentals), all 229 taps sold in Phase 2A (with 10 being allocated to our single-family rentals) and 93 of 211 taps sold in Phase 2B (with five allocated to our single-family rentals and an additional 12 planned to be allocated to our single-family rentals). The timing of tap sales is dependent on when homebuilders request building permits. Fees charged per water tap are dependent on lot sizes and average water usage across a broad range of housing product types including duplexes and townhomes. For Phase 2 in total, we estimate water and wastewater tap fees will exceed $20.0 million.

​

Single-Family Rentals

​

During our fiscal 2021, we launched a new line of business we are referring to as our single-family rental business. During Phase 1 of Sky Ranch, we retained ownership of four residential lots for use in this business. As of November 30, 2024, we have completed 14 single-family homes on these lots which we own, maintain, and have leased to qualified renters under one-year lease terms. We have expanded our single-family rentals in our second development phase of Sky Ranch by building homes on lots we did not sell to our home builder partners, which we will rent out once completed. As of November 30, 2024, we reserved approximately 94 lots in Phase 2, 10 of which are in Phase 2A and are completed and rented as of November 30, 2024. Additionally, we have reserved 17 lots in Phase 2B, which we anticipate completing in fiscal 2025.

​

We capitalize the costs of the homes and when applicable depreciate the costs over periods not exceeding thirty-years. Lease income is recorded monthly as earned and renters are typically under a one-year lease. We began recognizing monthly lease income for the first three rental units on November 1, 2021.

​

Results of Operations

​

Executive Summary

​

For the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, we generated net income of $3.9 million and $2.1 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in oil and gas royalty income. Total revenue was consistent during the two periods. Lot sales revenue is recognized using the percentage of completion method, which is based on progress of construction. Despite increased challenges on the housing market, our land development activities continue to perform well and increased compared to the prior year period, as we continue construction on Phase 2B and 2C at Sky Ranch. We believe the increase in lot sales revenue is due to our entry level pricing and affordable lot costs. The increase in lot sale revenue was offset by a decrease in water revenue due to decreased water sales to oil and gas operators.

Three Months Ended November 30, 2024 Results Compared to 2023

For the three months ended November 30, 2024, total revenue increased as compared to 2023, primarily due to multiple on-going Phases in 2025. During the three months ended November 30, 2024 we were developing in Phase 2A, Phase 2B and Phase 2C, compared to Phase 2A and Phase 2B in the three months ended November 30, 2023, resulting in more revenue being recognized. The increase was offset by a decrease in our water and wastewater sales period over period due to a decrease in commercial water sales for oil and gas operations. Lot sales are recognized using the percentage of completion method. Construction activity increased in 2025, despite the increased challenges on the housing market.

For the three months ended November 30, 2024, total costs of revenue increased as compared to 2023, and is primarily in line with the increase in revenue.

For the three months ended November 30, 2024, other income increased as compared to 2023 primarily due to royalty revenues from our oil and gas mineral interest at Sky Ranch, from the completion of an additional six wells in 2024 which began producing during the quarter.

​

For the three months ended November 30, 2024, water deliveries decreased as compared to 2023 primarily due to decrease of water sales to oil and gas operators.

For the three months ended November 30, 2024, municipal water usage was consistent with 2023. Commercial water usage revenue decreased for the three months ended November 30, 2024 compared to 2023 due to decreased water sales to oil and gas operators.

​

For the three months ended November 30, 2024, wastewater treatment fees increased slightly as compared to 2023 primarily due to new Sky Ranch customers.

For the three months ended November 30, 2024, water and wastewater tap sales increased compared to 2023 due to the timing of finished lots at Sky Ranch in 2025. Tap sales are driven by builders obtaining building permits in anticipation of home closings.

​

For the three months ended November 30, 2024, lot sales revenue increased as compared to 2023 due to timing of development activities and the inclusion of field construction on Phase 2C for the three months ended November 30, 2024. Per lot revenue is expected to increase as we complete each of the four subphases of Phase 2. Revenue from builder contracts is recognized over time with progress measured under the percent of completion method; therefore, revenue will fluctuate due to timing of construction activities throughout Phase 2.

For the three months ended November 30, 2024, land development construction costs decreased compared to 2023 due to fluctuations in construction activity and the percentage of public improvement activity that occurred during the quarter.

Single-Family Rental Results of Operations

In fiscal 2021, we began construction on homes for our single-family rental business. Each home is rented under a one-year non-cancellable lease agreement. The costs reflected as cost of sales for the rental units include a pro-rata share of the annual property taxes and insurance related specifically to the rental units as well as immaterial fees related to the operations and maintenance assessments from the Sky Ranch CAB that are assessed to every home in Sky Ranch. Our tenants are responsible for all other utilities including water and wastewater services that are paid to us. As of November 30, 2024, the Company had a total of 14 units rented.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Position

As of November 30, 2024, our working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was $20.3 million, which included $19.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. All our cash is maintained at high-credit quality institutions, and we follow a diversified investment approach for our cash and cash equivalents by maintaining such funds with a portfolio of banks in high quality, highly liquid, short-term deposits and investments, to mitigate banking concentration risk. We believe that as of November 30, 2024, and as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have sufficient working capital to fund our operations for the next 12 months. Our expected obligations for the next 12 months are described below.

Sky Ranch Development

Phase 1 of the Sky Ranch development is complete, Phase 2 began in February 2021, which is being done in four subphases, of which Phase 2A, Phase 2B and Phase 2C are being actively developed as of November 30, 2024. We estimate total costs to complete the infrastructure (including public improvements) for all 886 lots in Phase 2 to total $80.9 million. Of this, we anticipate spending up to $26.5 million in the next 12 months, and we anticipate receiving approximately $21.4 million in milestone payments from our builder customers and completed lot payments. Additionally, we expect to receive tap fee payments from our builder customers over the same period. The amounts we expect to spend and receive in the next 12 months are dependent on the pace of construction in Phase 2B, Phase 2C and Phase 2D. We believe water and wastewater tap fees as well as progress payments from our homebuilder customers and our existing cash balances will fund our obligations for the next 12 months.

Single-Family Rental Construction Contract

As of November 30, 2024, we have entered into contracts with national home builders to construct 17 rental units at Sky Ranch in Phase 2B. The contracted construction costs for all 17 units in Phase 2B will be approximately $6 million. As of November 30, 2024, we had incurred $0.3 million of these construction costs. We anticipate financing the majority of the remaining cost for Phase 2B rental units in fiscal 2025.

South Metropolitan Water Supply Authority (“SMWSA”) and the Water Infrastructure Supply Efficiency Partnership (“WISE”)

We have entered into a financing agreement that obligates us to fund the Rangeview District’s cost of participating in WISE. We anticipate investing up to $6.0 million in total through fiscal years 2025 to fund the Rangeview District’s obligation to purchase water and fund development of infrastructure for WISE, its obligations related to SMWSA, and the construction of a connection to the WISE system. In exchange for funding the Rangeview District’s obligations in WISE, we have the sole right to use and reuse the Rangeview District’s 9% share of the WISE water and infrastructure to provide water service to the Rangeview District’s customers and to receive the revenue from such service. Our current WISE subscription entitles us to approximately 3.0 million gallons per day of transmission pipeline capacity and up to 900 acre-feet per year of water.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

​

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” within Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 3 of our 2024 Annual Report. The accounting policies and estimates used in preparing our interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended November 30, 2024, are the same as those described in our 2024 Annual Report. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended November 30, 2024. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The unaudited consolidated financial statements and other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our 2024 Annual Report.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The President and the Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of November 30, 2024, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the President and the Chief Financial Officer each concluded that as of November 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.
