EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-53307) (the “Registration Statement”) of Eldorado Artesian Springs, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 21, 1998. On August 23, 2007 Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 was filed with the Commission to account for a change in the amount of securities registered under the 1997 Stock Option Plan in the Registration Statement from 875,000 to 1,750,000. The increase of the amount of securities registered was as a result of the Registrant distributing a stock dividend of one share of Common Stock for every share of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the record date of August 8, 2007. Under the terms of the 1997 Stock Option Plan, it has expired, and there are no outstanding awards under this plan. The Company is filing this Amendment to deregister the shares of Common Stock that have not been issued.
