During the three months ended November 30, 2024, the Company’s Lost Creek water supply increased $3.5 million, primarily from the acquisition of 378 acre-feet of ditch water in the Henrylyn Irrigation District and 300 acre-feet of groundwater rights in the Lost Creek Designated Basin.

Construction in Progress

The construction in progress account represents costs incurred on various construction projects currently underway that as of the balance sheet date have not been completed and placed into service. The construction in progress account consists primarily of costs incurred relating to water facilities and Sky Ranch infrastructure being constructed, which Pure Cycle anticipates will be placed in service during the next 12 months. During the three months ended November 30, 2024, the Company incurred $0.4 million of costs related to construction in Sky Ranch and water and wastewater construction projects. The Company capitalized $1.0 million of costs as projects were completed and placed into service during the three months ended November 30, 2024.

Single-Family Rental Homes

As of November 30, 2024, Pure Cycle has 14 single-family detached homes rented under separate lease agreements. Pure Cycle will begin construction on 17 additional rental homes in Phase 2B, all of which the Company believes will be available for rent in fiscal 2025. As of November 30, 2024, the Company had reserved 84 lots in Phases 2B, 2C and 2D of Sky Ranch for future rental units. When combined with the 14 units already built and rented, these additions will bring the total single-family rentals to 98. The Company expects to take approximately three more years to build and rent all these units. Based on these projections, the Company believes this could become a reportable operating segment in the future once its operations become material.
