THORNTON, CO announced financial results today for the six months ended February 29, 2008.

Pure Cycle is reporting net losses of approximately $3.5 million ($.18 per share) and $3.4 million ($.19 per share), for the six months ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, respectively. However, approximately $2.8 million and $2.6 million of the reported losses relate to expense items which do not currently require the use of cash or other current assets which results in cash expenses totaling approximately $.8 million for each period. Although they are components of our net losses, management does not include these items when reviewing the performance of the company; therefore, management believes it is necessary to highlight these items for investors. The items are comprised of the following:

                                                    Six Months Ended:

                                                ============= =============

These items are explained in greater detail in our Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2007 and further in our Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended February 29, 2008, to be filed with the SEC on April 9, 2008. In addition to the above items, for the six months ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, respectively, we also incurred approximately $152,700 and $5,000 of consulting fees related to the ongoing discussions with the Land Board and Lend Lease over the water and wastewater service agreements for the proposed development at the Lowry Range. Excluding the cash paid for consulting and the expenses described above our net losses for the six months ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007 would have been:

                            Six Months Ended:

As adjusted net losses  $  (616,100) $  (784,100) $  (167,800)         -21%
                        ===========  ===========  ===========  ===========

The as adjusted net losses for the current year decreased as a result of lower professional fees due to the consultation with the SEC we had in the prior fiscal year and the reduction of state franchise fees paid to the State of Delaware as a result of our reincorporation into Colorado.

We will host a conference call to discuss the results on Thursday, April 10, 2008 at 2 pm Mountain. The call will be hosted by our President, Mark W. Harding. Call details are presented below.
