Pure Cycle Corporation Announces

First Quarter Fiscal 2007 Financial Results

Thornton, Colorado – January 15, 2007 – Pure Cycle Corporation (the “Company”) (NASDAQ Capital Market: PCYO) announced today it posted a net loss of approximately $455,000 ($.02 per share) on revenues of approximately $63,700 for the quarter ended November 30, 2006. This compares to a net loss of approximately $205,100 ($.01 per share) on revenues of approximately $65,600 for the quarter ended November 30, 2005. The increased loss is mainly attributable to higher depreciation charges  (approximately $76,000) and water assessment fees (approximately $75,000) relating to the water rights and other assets acquired in the Arkansas River valley on August 31, 2006.

The Company also announced that based on discussions with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on January 11, 2007, the Company will be restating its 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K to correct an error in the balance sheet. The Company will remove the Contingent obligations payable upon default of HP A&M liability account and the related contra-equity receivable from HP A&M account. The Company requested concurrence from the Commission on its purchase accounting entries related to its purchase of Arkansas River water rights and related properties and based on this request the Commission determined that the promissory notes maintained by the sellers did not constitute an indirect guarantee of debt pursuant to US accounting rules. The Company and the Commission continue to review other purchase accounting issues related to the Company’s acquisition of Arkansas River water rights and properties. The Company will amend its 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K as soon as practicable. Such amendments will only relate to the accounting for the asset acquisition and will not impact the Company’s statements of operations or cash flows. This restatement has no impact on the Company’s reported net loss or net loss per share for 2006 or the three months ended November 30, 2006. Financial highlights presented below.

The Company will host a conference call to discuss the results at its Annual Stockholders’ Meeting on Tuesday January 16, 2007 at 2 pm Mountain. The call will be hosted by the Company’s President, Mark W. Harding. Details below.

Additional information regarding the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting is included in the Company’s Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about December 19, 2006.
