Participating Interest in Export Water
Refer to Note 6 in the 2022 Annual Report for additional details regarding the “CAA.” The CAA, which was used to acquire the Company’s Rangeview Water Supply, included contractual payments when the Company sells “Export Water.” To reduce the long-term impacts of the CAA, in the past the Company has acquired portions of the obligation from the third-party holders. During the three months ended November 30, 2022, the Company acquired the remaining $0.9 million of total CAA interests (of which $0.3 million was reflected on the Company’s balance sheet and the remaining was deemed contingent and not reflected on the balance sheet) for $0.1 million in cash. The Company recorded a gain of $0.2 million on the acquisition which is included in other income. |
