Table 1 shows a summary of the funding sources for the project. The total estimated cost of the
project is $598,000. The construction will be funded by NRCS at approximately 65% after the
, Project is complete. Therefore, the initial loan amount (during construction) is $598,000, based
on 100% of the estimated total Project cost (Per Policy #11). The loan will be reduced to
$207,000 after the Project is complete and the Company receives $391,000 from NRCS.

Table 2 shows a summary of the financial aspects of the Project. A CWCS Loan of $207,000
will have an annual payment of $13,700 ($10,280 for the annual loan payment and $3,420 for
the reserve account during the first three years - see loan conditions below) under the loan
terms of 2.85% per annum for 30-years. The blended rate is due to part of the project irrigated
lands do not qualify as agricultural production land as defined by NRCS. Not considering the
loan reserve, the annual loan payment represents a loan cost of $10.25 per acre-foot for the
Project based on an average annual delivery of 1003 acre-feet of water. Since all other funding
for the Project is in the form of NRCS grants, the Company would have no other debt service on
this Project.
