NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 1998 and
August 31, 1997, the consolidated statements of operations for
the three months and six months ended February 28, 1998 and
February 28, 1997 and the consolidated statements of cash flows
for the six months ended February 28, 1998 and February 28, 1997,
have been prepared by the Company, without an audit. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows at February 28,
1998 and for all periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-
KSB. The results of operations for interim periods presented are
not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full
year.
NOTE 2 - LONG-TERM DEBT
In August 1996, the Company entered into a loan agreement with
six related party investors. The loan is for $300,000, is
unsecured, bears interest based on the prime rate plus 2% or 10
1/4% and is due August 30, 2002. The agreement allowed the
Company to extend the due date to August 30, 2002 by issuing
additional warrants (see Note 3). In connection with the August
1996 loan agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase
shares of the Company's common stock.
In August 1997, the Company entered into a loan agreement with
five related party investors. The loan is for $350,000, is
unsecured, bears interest at the rate of 10 1/4% and is due
August 30, 2002. In connection with the August 1997 loan
agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock (see Note 3).
NOTE 3 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
In connection with the August 1996 loan agreement described in
note 2, the Company issued warrants to purchase 600,000 shares of
the Company's common stock and additional warrants to purchase
1,323,000 shares to extend the due date of the note until August
30, 2002. The warrants are exercisable at $.25 per share and
expire August 30, 2002. The estimated fair value of the warrants
issued of $18,000 has been capitalized and is being amortized to
expense over the term of the notes.
In connection with the August 1997 loan agreement, the Company
issued warrants to purchase 2,100,000 shares of the Company's
common stock. The warrants are exercisable at $.25 per share and
expire August 30, 2002. A portion of the proceeds received under
the agreement ($45,000) has been attributed to the estimated fair
value of the warrants issued. The resulting discount is being
amortized over the term of the loan.
In December of 1997, the Company agreed to adjust the exercise
price of its outstanding options and warrants totaling
approximately 48,672,000 shares held by certain directors,
officers, and investors of the Company from $.25 per share to
$.18 per share. The options and warrant repricing was based on
the market closing price on December 2, 1997 of $.18 per share.
The Company has recognized a non-cash compensation expense of
$51,000 which reflects the change in value of the options and
warrants based on the price of the Company's outstanding shares
at the date of repricing. The options and warrants expire during
2002.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Results of Operations
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended
February 28, 1998 were approximately $33,000 higher than
for the period ended February 28, 1997, primarily because of a
non-recurring, non-cash compensation expense. Interest expense
increased for the six months ended February 28, 1998 by
approximately $1,000 compared to the period ended February 28,
1997 primarily because of a higher average outstanding balance of
notes payable for the six months of fiscal 1998 compared to the
same period in fiscal 1997. Net loss for the six months ended
February 28, 1998 increased approximately $69,000 compared to the
six month ended February 28, 1997 primarily because of the
receipt of one-time tap fee revenue during the six months ended
February 28, 1997 and the non-cash compensation expense.
During the six months ended February 28, 1998, the Company
generated water service revenues of $13,744 and incurred
approximately $1,000 in operating costs associated with the water
service revenues The water service revenues were generated from
the sale of water to customers within the Company's Service Area.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At February 28, 1998, current assets exceed current liabilities
by $123,294 and, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$164,136.
The Company is aggressively pursuing the sale and development
of its water rights. The Company cannot provide any assurances
that it will be able to sell its water rights. In the event a
sale of the Company's water rights is not forthcoming and the
Company is not able to generate revenues from the sale or
development of its technology, the Company may sell additional
portions of the Company's profit interest pursuant to the WCA,
incur short or long-term debt obligations or seek to sell
additional shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or stock
purchase warrants as deemed necessary by the Company to generate
operating capital.
Development of any of the water rights that the Company has, or
is seeking to acquire, will require substantial capital
investment by the Company. Any such additional capital for the
development of the water rights is anticipated to be financed
through the sale of water taps and water delivery charges to a
city or municipality. A water tap charge refers to a charge
imposed by a municipality to permit a water user to access a
water delivery system (i.e. a single-family home's tap into the
municipal water system), and a water delivery charge refers to a
water user's monthly water bill generally based on a per 1,000
gallons of water consumed.
