Interim Unaudited Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.  The accounting policies used in preparing these financial statements are the same as those described in our Form 10-K.

The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments

The Company owns shares of capital stock in Farmer’s Reservoir and Irrigation Company (FRICO) – Marshall Division, which entitle the Company to a pro rata share of FRICO’s irrigation system in the Marshall reservoir. See Note 3 for additional information.  As the Company’s ownership represents less than 20% ownership of FRICO, the value of this investment is stated at cost and evaluated for impairment if there are indications of such.

Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue is recognized on the sale of products as customer shipments are made.  Returns are estimated and recorded at the time of sale.  Rental revenue is recognized on a monthly basis upon commencement of the lease agreement. Water utility revenue is recognized on a monthly basis based upon the monthly contracted rate.

Litigation
 
The Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings.  The Company maintains insurance to cover certain liabilities.      
 
Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that are not expected to be realized based on available evidence. Net operating losses in the amount of approximately $590,000 for state taxes begin to expire in 2028.
 
Note 2 - Stockholders' Equity

Stock Option Plans

The Company has a qualified stock plan, the 2008 Incentive Stock Plan, pursuant to which 2,000,000 shares were reserved for issuance.  As of June 30, 2014, 1,950,000 shares were available for future grant.  Additionally, the Company previously had a qualified stock plan, the 1997 Stock Option Plan, which expired in 2007, pursuant to which 875,000 shares were reserved for issuance and, as of June 30, 2014, 40,000 shares were reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding grants and no shares were available for future grant as the plan has expired.  The 2008 Incentive Stock Plan and the 1997 Stock Option Plan are referred to herein as the Plans.  The shares issuable pursuant to awards granted thereunder are registered on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Plans provide for the grant of options and other equity based awards to employees, directors and consultants of the Company and are administered by the Company’s Board of Directors. None of the options are held by any officers or directors of the Company.

Note 3 – Contingencies

Water Rights Contingency

When we purchased the Eldorado Springs property in 1983, included in the purchase of the real estate were certain water rights that had been decreed for the water sources located on the property. We have the right to beneficially use the water derived from the sources of water that are the subject of the decreed water rights, unless there is a call being made downstream from our location by a water right that is senior to ours. A senior water right would be obtained by those that applied water to a beneficial use prior to the uses associated with our water sources. Because the Eldorado Springs area was not developed until the early 1900’s there are many senior water rights that could place a call on the stream and unless we have a recognized replacement source of water or a decreed augmentation plan (“Augmentation Plan”), we would be forced to stop using the water from our sources.

Because demand for our spring water exists on a year round basis, we require a replacement water source that can be delivered to the stream at any time during the year. Since the drought of 2002, we purchased shares of stock of FRICO, entitling us to use a pro rata portion of the water belonging to FRICO as operated pursuant to state regulations that govern what are known as Mutual Ditch Companies. The Marshall reservoir is located in close proximity to our water sources in Eldorado Springs and because the water is stored, it can be released upon demand to meet our obligations.

The water represented by our shares in the FRICO system had been historically used for irrigating croplands. This meant that, in addition to obtaining a decreed Augmentation Plan from the Colorado Water Court, we had to obtain a change of use decree in order to use the water for replacing our withdrawals as part of the Augmentation Plan. The Water Court of the State of Colorado entered a Decree on April 16, 2013 approving the change in water rights and the terms and conditions of our Augmentation Plan, subject to the retained jurisdiction clauses normally associated with such actions. The Decree allows us to use the water represented by our FRICO shares as augmentation water to replace our out-of-priority withdrawals from our springs and other sources. It also established the conditions under which we can add other sources of water to the Augmentation Plan for use as additional replacement water. It is possible that our ability to withdraw water from our springs in a particular year may be limited if the water associated with our FRICO shares under drought conditions is not sufficient to meet all of our replacement requirements. Because drought is an ever present possibility in our location, we will continue to seek additional sources of replacement and augmentation water to add to our Augmentation Plan.

Note 4 – Commitments

Line of Credit

The Company has a line of credit with ANB Bank in the amount of $750,000. As of June 30, 2014, the Company did not have a balance due outstanding on the line of credit.

Notes Payable

The Company has a note payable with ANB Bank. The note bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.0%. The loan is payable at a rate of $17,690 per month, which includes principal and interest. A single “balloon payment” of the entire unpaid balance of principal and interest will be due on February 2, 2022.

The SBA loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.951% for its full 20 year term and is payable at a rate of $10,089 per month until maturity on April 1, 2032.
 
The above loans are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, including the real estate in Eldorado Springs and Louisville, Colorado. The loan agreements specify events of default customary to facilities of their type, including any non-payment of principal, interest or other amounts, misrepresentation of representations and warranties, violation of covenants, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, certain material judgments, seizure of assets, or other material adverse changes. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the payments by the Company of all of its outstanding obligations may be accelerated, and the commitments under the loan agreements may be terminated by the respective lender. The loans are guaranteed by Messrs. Larson, Martin and Sipple. The loan agreements also include certain performance and reporting covenants.

Overview

Eldorado Artesian Springs, Inc. is a Colorado based company that is primarily involved in the bottling and marketing of natural artesian spring water. The spring is located in the foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains and is surrounded by thousands of acres of state and city park land. The water rises up through many layers of sandstone under its own artesian pressure. Currently, the Company’s operations consist of its home/commercial delivery business (5 and 3 gallon bottles) and its one gallon and PET (polyethylene terephthalate, a premium clear plastic container) consumer business. The Company also has an organic vitamin charged spring water that is distributed locally off of the Company’s vehicles as well as to regional distribution facilities. The Company’s business includes the sales and rental of filtration and coffee dispensing equipment as well as the sale of coffee. During the summer months, the Company owns and operates a public swimming pool on its property and rents out a single-family home on the property year round.

The Company’s headquarters and bottling facility consists of a total of approximately 40,000 square feet in Louisville, Colorado. The water is transported to the facility in stainless steel tanker trucks. Once at the bottling plant, the water is then transferred into stainless steel holding tanks until it is used for bottling.

Results of Operations

Performance Overview – Recent Trends

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company reported an increase in overall revenue of 11.1%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Trade accounts receivable for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were 10.8% more than at year ended March 31, 2014.  This resulted from the increase in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014.  Days outstanding were approximately 42 days for both June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014. In February 2014, the Company implemented a new customer relations management (CRM) system.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the payments by the Company of all of its outstanding obligations may be accelerated, and the commitments under the loan agreements may be terminated by the respective lender. The loans are guaranteed by the same two Company executives who are also directors of the Company and one other director of the Company.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that are not expected to be realized based on available evidence. Net operating losses in the amount of approximately $590,000 for state taxes begin to expire in 2028.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management's control objectives.

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, in consultation with EKS&H LLLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, identified a control deficiency that they believed constituted a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness related to our lack of technical expertise regarding complex accounting matters associated with certain income tax calculations. Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed is included in the reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our management believes that this material weakness did not impact the reliability of our financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
In light of the conclusion that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, our management is in the process of implementing a plan intended to remediate such ineffectiveness and to strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting through the implementation of certain remedial measures, including obtaining the assistance of experienced financial personnel to enhance our financial reporting capabilities and assist our principal financial officer as the need arises.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Other than as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
