Pure Cycle Corporation Announces
Third Quarter 2006 Financial Results
Thornton, Colorado — July 17, 2006 — Pure Cycle Corporation (the “Company”) (NASDAQ Capital Market: PCYO) today announced results for the nine months ended May 31, 2006.
The Company posted a net loss of $713,700 ($.05 per share) on revenues of $188,200 for the nine months ended May 31, 2006, compared to a loss of $720,000 ($.05 per share) on revenues of $163,200 for the nine months ended May 31, 2005. The decreased loss is mainly attributable to higher water usage fees during 2006, lower salary and related costs due to the Company’s former CEO retiring in November 2004 offset by stock-based compensation expense recorded pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) and increased professional service fees and director fees. Financial highlights presented below.
The Company will host a conference call to discuss the results and the latest Company news on Tuesday July 18, 2006 at 2 pm Mountain. The call will be hosted by the Company’s President, Mark W. Harding.
