The loan request is for an initial loan in the <br />maximum amount of $195,000 during construction (77% of estimated total cost), reducing to $48,750 <br />once the project is complete and the Company receives a 75 percent construction grant from NRCS <br />(estimated $146,250), <br /> <br />Table 1 shows a summary of the funding sources for the project: <br /> <br />Table 1.

Received after construction is complete from NRCS Salinity Control Project. <br /> <br />Table 2 shows a summary of the financial aspects of the Project. A CWCS Loan of $48,750 would <br />require an annual obligation of $3,105 ($2,329 for amortized annual payment and $776 for the reserve <br />account for the first three years - see loan conditions below) for the loan terms of 2.50% for 30-years. <br />The annual CWCS loan payment represents a loan cost of $2.45 per acre-foot for the Project based on <br />an average annual delivery of 951 acre-feet of water. Since all other funding for the Project is in the <br />form of NRCS grants, the Company would have no other debt service on this Project. <br /> <br />Table 2. Financial Summary of Project <br /> <br />Total Project Cost $253,500 <br />Proiect Construction Cost $195,000 <br />CWCS Post.Construction Loan Amount $48,750 <br />Annual Loan Pavment Amount ' $2,329 <br />Annual Loan Obligation (including debt reserve funding) $3,105 <br />Annual Project Cost per acre-foot (based upon 951 acre-ft) $2.45/ac-ft <br /> <br />Creditworthiness: The Company was incorporated in July of 2003 for the purpose of undertaking the <br />Project and therefore has very little financial history. The Company has no existing debt. Repayment <br />will be accomplished by member assessments according to the Company's Funding Agreement. <br /> <br />Table 3 shows the Financial Ratios for the Company. The Company proposes to assess the members <br />$55/share to cover the CWCS loan and estimated maintenance costs. This assessment is based on 62 <br />shares. The ratios indicate average to strong ability to repay the $48,750 loan. <br />
