. East Mancos Highline Ditch Company Agenda Item 6c . July 122005 Page 3 of 4 The loan request is based on the total design and construction cost estimate for the Project, however engineering design and construction oversight may be provided by NRCS as in-kind services. Design is to be complete by September 2005. Construction is expected to begin October 2005 and to be completed in phases during 2005 and 2006. Financial Analvsis Table 1 shows a summary of the funding sources for the project. The total estimated cost of the project is $904,000. The construction will be funded by NRCS at 75% after the Project is completed. Therefore, the initial loan amount (during construction) is $904,000, based on 100% of the estimated total Project cost (Per Policy #11). The loan will be reduced to $458,074 after the Project is complete and the Company receives $445,926 for 75 percent of the NRCS estimated construction cost. Table 1.

Table 2 shows a summary of the financial aspects of the Project. A CWCS Loan of $458,074 will have an annual payment of $29,180 ($21,885 for the annual loan payment and $7,295 for the reserve account during the first three years - see loan conditions below) under the loan terms of 2.50% per annum for 30-years. Not considering the loan reserve, the annual loan payment represents a loan cost of $33.58 per acre-foot for the Project based on an average annual delivery of 869 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. Table 2.
