PCYO Pure Cycle Corp

Pure Cycle Corporation (the �Company�) (NASDAQ: PCYO) today announced results for the three fiscal years ended August 31, 2006. The Company posted net losses of approximately $792,900 ($.05 per share), $1,050,900 ($.08 per share), and $1,975,700 ($.22 per share) for the years ended August 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company had revenues of approximately $271,700, $234,700 and $205,000 for the respective periods. The Company�s net losses have decreased over the three-year period due mainly to higher water usage fees during 2006 and 2005 due to below average precipitation resulting in higher water sales, increases in water usage rates and lower salary and related costs due to the Company�s former CEO retiring in November 2004. Additionally, in fiscal 2006 the Company recorded approximately $390,900 of gain related to the extinguishment of debt and the acquisition of certain contingent interests. These favorable items were offset by the Company recording approximately $209,600 of stock-based compensation expense pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) and professional service fees and director fees increased $34,700. The Company�s financial position as of August 31, 2006 was dramatically enhanced by the acquisition of Arkansas River water rights and various related assets for consideration of equity and contingent payments based on water tap sales. This resulted in an increase to the Company�s investments in water and water systems of approximately $102.6 million and an increase in the Company�s liabilities of approximately $80.7 million (this is comprised of $66.1 million for a tap participation fee whereby the Company will pay the seller 10% of the tap fees received on the sale of the next 40,000 water taps and $14.6 million related to an indirect guarantee of notes that were retained by the seller). The Company intends to develop this water for use along the Front Range of Colorado. Additional financial highlights are presented below. The Company�s President, Mark W. Harding, will host a conference call to discuss the financial results as described below.
