Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Unaudited Financial Statements

The interim financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results of the entire year. The financial statements included herein are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the disclosures normally made in the registrant's annual report on Form 10-K. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012.

Investments

The Company owns investments of capital stock in an investee. This investment entitles the Company to an equal pro rata share of this investee’s irrigation system. As the ownership represents less than 20% ownership of the Company the value of this investment is stated at cost and evaluated for impairment if there are indications of such.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized on the sale of products as customer shipments are made. Returns are estimated and recorded at the time of sale. Rental revenue is recognized on a monthly basis upon commencement of the lease agreement. Water utility revenue is recognized on a monthly basis based upon the monthly contracted rate.

Litigation

The Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings. The Company maintains insurance to cover certain actions and believes that resolution of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Note 2 - Stockholders' Equity

Stock Option Plans

The Company has a qualified stock plan, the 2008 Incentive Stock Plan, pursuant to which 2,000,000 shares were reserved for issuance. As of June 30, 2012, 1,950,000 shares were available for future grant. Additionally, the Company previously had a qualified stock plan, the 1997 Stock Option Plan, which expired in 2007, pursuant to which 875,000 shares were reserved for issuance and as of June 30, 2012, 56,000 shares were reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding grants and no shares were available for future grant as the plan has expired. The 2008 Incentive Stock Plan and the 1997 Stock Option Plan, referred to herein as the Plans, and the shares issuable there under, are both registered on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Plans provide for the grant of options and other equity based awards to employees, directors and consultants of the Company and are administered by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Note 3 – Contingencies

Water Rights Contingency

When the Company purchased mountain property in 1983, included in the purchase price were certain water rights for Eldorado Springs. These water rights are relatively junior to other water rights in the South Boulder Creek and South Platte Basins. The Company has the right to beneficially use all of the water that emanates from the springs in accordance with its water rights unless a more senior rights holder makes a call on the water. A senior call might occur in the winter or when runoff is low and insufficient to meet the water needs of more senior water users below Eldorado Springs. Because of Colorado's drought conditions, the possibility of a senior call has increased. For many years, the Company had enrolled its water rights in a substitute supply plan approved by the Colorado State Engineer, which serves to protect the Company's water supply in the event of a senior call.

The Company is also pursuing other possible supply sources for use in augmenting the stream flows as a result of the Company's withdrawals of water. There is no assurance that any of the renewal applications, Colorado Water Court applications for permanent augmentation, or any other alternative arrangements being sought by the Company will be approved. Denial of the Company's applications for substitute or for a permanent augmentation plan coupled with a senior call on the Company's water will likely result in a significant financial impact on the Company. The Company will also incur significant expenses in connection with its efforts to obtain approval of these plans. In the event of the approval of a permanent augmentation plan, the Company will also incur additional expenses associated with its required purchase of additional water rights.

Note 4 – Commitments

Line of Credit

The Company has a line of credit with Great Western Bank in the amount of $475,000. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had a balance on the line of credit of $370,051. The line of credit is subject to certain borrowing base requirements, requires monthly interest payments calculated at Prime plus 1% with a minimum rate of 5.5%. The borrowing base was approximately $569,000 as of June 30, 2012. The line includes certain reporting and financial covenants, is collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory and is guaranteed by three company executives. The line has a maturity date of November 18, 2012. The Company intends to enter into a new line of credit agreement prior to the maturity date of the current agreement.

Notes Payable

On February 2, 2012, the Company entered into three separate loan agreements to refinance the existing debt that was due within the next 12 months and had previously been classified as current debt. The Company entered into a Commercial Loan Agreement (the “First ANB Loan Agreement”) with ANB Bank. Under the First ANB Loan Agreement, the Company received proceeds of $2,815,892 from the Bank pursuant to a promissory note (“Note 1”). The proceeds were used to refinance an existing note on the Company’s property in Louisville, Colorado. The terms of Note 1 include a fixed interest rate of 5.5% for five years with monthly payments of approximately $19,500 which includes principal and interest. The interest rate will remain fixed at 5.5% until February 2, 2017 after which time it may change. The interest rate will be based on the Prime Rate plus 2.00%. The interest rate may change February 2, 2017 and every 5 years thereafter. A single “balloon payment” of the entire unpaid balance of principal and interest will be due on February 2, 2022. The Company entered into a separate Commercial Loan Agreement (the “Second ANB Loan Agreement”) with ANB Bank. Under the Second ANB Loan Agreement, the Company received proceeds of $1,415,216 from the Bank pursuant to a promissory note (“Note 2”). The proceeds were used to refinance an existing note on the Company’s property in Eldorado Springs, Colorado. The terms of Note 2 include a fixed interest rate of 6.0% on the unpaid principal beginning March 2, 2012. The unpaid principal and accrued interest was due on May 2, 2012.

The Company also entered into a Commercial Loan Agreement (the “SBA Loan Agreement”) with the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). Under the SBA Loan Agreement, the Company received proceeds of $1,457,000 from the SBA pursuant to a Note (“Note 3”). The proceeds were used to refinance Note 2 under the Second ANB Loan Agreement as described above. The effective rate for Note 3 is 4.951% for the full 20 year term. The monthly payment is $10,089 and the maturity date is April 1, 2032.

Under the First ANB Loan Agreement, the Second ANB Loan Agreement, and the SBA Loan Agreement, (collectively, the “Loan Agreements”) the Company granted the Bank security interests in the leases and rents on the property in Eldorado Springs, Colorado and Louisville, Colorado as well as deeds of trust for the same properties in Eldorado Springs and Louisville. The Loan Agreements specify events of default customary to facilities of its type, including any non-payment of principal, interest or other amounts, misrepresentation of representations and warranties, violation of covenants, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, certain material judgments, seizure of assets, or other material adverse changes. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the payments by the Company of all of its outstanding obligations may be accelerated, and ANB Bank and the SBA commitments under the Loan Agreements may be terminated. The Loan Agreements are also guaranteed by three Company executives. The Loan Agreements also include certain performance and reporting covenants.

Currently, the Company’s operations consist of its home/commercial delivery business (5 and 3 gallon bottles) and its PET (polyethylene terephtalate, a premium clear plastic container) consumer business. The Company also has an organic vitamin charged spring water that is distributed locally off of the Company’s vehicles as well as to regional distribution facilities.

Conclusion Regarding The Effectiveness Of Disclosure Controls And Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.
