NOTE 3 – REIMBURSABLE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS AND NOTE RECEIVABLE FROM THE SKY RANCH CAB

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 2022 Annual Report.

The notes receivable – related party, reimbursable public improvements is due to the Company from the Sky Ranch CAB and reports the balances owed by the Sky Ranch CAB to Pure Cycle for public improvements paid for by Pure Cycle which are reimbursable from the Sky Ranch CAB, 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. Pure Cycle has advanced funds to the Sky Ranch CAB for the cost of public improvements at Sky Ranch which are the ultimate responsibility of the Sky Ranch CAB.  During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company determined that repayment of those improvements was probable, along with the project management fees and interest on those costs. Upon that determination, Pure Cycle began recording the

reimbursable public improvements as a receivable from the Sky Ranch CAB (as opposed to the costs being expensed as land development construction costs) and began recognizing project management fee revenue and interest income on the entire note receivable from the Sky Ranch CAB. Prior to that date, payment was not deemed to be probable; therefore, Pure Cycle capitalized those costs as land under development and subsequently expensed the reimbursable public improvements and did not recognize any project management fees or interest income due to the uncertainty of collectability. During the three and six months ended February 28, 2023, Pure Cycle spent $1.7 million and $2.8 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 and six months ended February 28, 2023, project management fees of $0.1 million and $0.1 million and interest income on the outstanding note receivable of $0.3 million and $0.5 million were also added to the note receivable. No payments were made on the note receivable during the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022. Pursuant to the agreements with the Sky Ranch CAB, any payments received are initially applied to interest.

During the three and six months ended February 28, 2022, the Company spent $2.7 million and $6.8 million on public improvements which are payable by the Sky Ranch CAB to the Company and added to the note receivable from the Sky Ranch CAB. Additionally, for the three and six months ended February 28, 2022, project management fees owed to the Company of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, and interest income on the outstanding note receivable of $0.5 million and $0.9 million were also added to the note receivable.

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

​

The note receivable from the Sky Ranch CAB accrues interest at 6% per annum. Public improvements which are not probable of 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 probable of collection, 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.
