This loan is an <br />interest only loan with a maturity date of December 15, 2007. At that time the loan term can be <br />extended, The first annual payment on the $1,978,000 loan is $73,000 due on December, 2006. The <br />second interest only annual payment of $173,000 is due on December 2007. The Bank loan combined <br />a $400,000 debt on the Gore Pass Ranch as well as the recently purchased ranch in Olathe for $1.5 <br />million. The first CWCB annual payment will likely be due around December 2008 at which time an <br />interest only payment for the Ranch loan will be due if the Ranch has not sold. The Gore Pass Ranch is <br />currently for sale for $6,5 million. If the Ranch does not sell, the repayment of the loan will be <br />accomplished utilizing the sale of hay, livestock, annual payments from previous land sales and current <br />land sales. <br /> <br />The Hill's have two sources of income, a cow-calf production and hay production. Approximately, 1/3 of <br />the Ranch hay is used in the cow-calf operation leaving 2/3 of the hay for sale, The Ranch produces <br />approximately 1-1/2 ton per acre. The annual production of hay is 1,200 tons with 800 tons available for <br />sale, The Hills income from hay in 2006 was $90,000, The annual income from the Hills cow-calf <br />operation in 2005 was $120,000. Based on the cattle and hay sales the agricultural income is estimated <br />at $210,000. This analysis does not include Olathe Ranch income since no history of income exists. <br /> <br />Projected annual expenses in 2008 include $102,000 in Ranch expenses and $218,000 in debt service <br />(Bank loan = $173,000 and CWCB loan = $45,000) this total annual expense is approximately <br />$320,000, <br /> <br />During the review of this loan CWCB staff identified the Hills inability to cover the needed expenses in <br />2008. Due to the following issues the staff decided to present this loan to the Board for consideration: <br />1, The emergency nature of the dam repair <br />2, The interest in avoiding the loss of compact entitled waters <br />3. The ability to utilize hard collateral to secure the loan <br /> <br />Table 2 shows the Financial Ratios for the Hill's Gore Pass Ranch, <br /> <br /> <br />.. <br />
