Current report
We expect the remaining water supply available under our current permit to be contracted for delivery via the Southern Pipeline. In July 2026, we executed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Central Arizona Irrigation and Drainage District (“CAIDD”) for the purchase and sale of up to 10,000 acre-feet per year (“AFY”) from the Mojave Groundwater Bank, representing our first agreement for water supply with an Arizona water district. The MOU is subject to the negotiation of necessary interstate exchange agreements to enable delivery of water from the Mojave Groundwater Bank to CAIDD.
Current report
In July 2026, FGMWC executed the principal construction contracts for the Northern Pipeline conversion project using a construction manager at risk (“CMAR”) delivery model. The contracts establish guaranteed maximum prices (“GMPs”) for the pump station and pipeline replacement components of the Northern Pipeline conversion project. These GMPs, together with contractual pricing and option agreements for equipment, materials and necessary components expected to be procured by MWI, support an estimated capital cost of approximately $400 million to place the Northern Pipeline into service. The Northern Pipeline’s detailed engineering, procurement and construction pricing also provides a more reliable basis for estimating the cost of comparable components of the Southern Pipeline. Although the Southern Pipeline estimate remains subject to further engineering and negotiation of a GMP, we currently estimate that approximately $850 million to $1.0 billion of additional capital will be required to place the Southern Pipeline into service. In total, the expected Northern Pipeline and Southern Pipeline capital costs are estimated at $1.25 - $1.5, billion which is consistent with our estimate from last quarter.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2026, Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Current report
We incurred an operating loss of $15.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a $13.3 million operating loss during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The higher operating loss in 2026 was primarily due to decreased gross profits from ATEC driven by reduced filter sales. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $20.0 million compared to a $17.3 million net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Current report
***Cost of Sales ***Cost of sales totaled $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, which comprised of $1.5 million related to ATEC (26.0% gross margin) and $0.7 million related to our alfalfa crop harvest. Cost of sales totaled $4.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, which comprised of $3.6 million related to ATEC (40.3% gross margin) and $1.1 million related to our alfalfa crop harvest. The decrease in ATEC gross margin is primarily driven by spreading the fixed costs of manufacturing filters included in cost of sales over a reduced number of filters sold.
Current report
***General and Administrative Expenses ***General and administrative expenses, exclusive of stock-based compensation costs, totaled $13.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $11.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in 2026 was primarily a result of increased legal and consulting fees incurred in advancing the development of the Mojave Groundwater Bank. General and administrative expense for ATEC totaled $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with $1.9 million for the same period in 2025. The increase in ATEC costs was primarily related to increased salaries and benefits and marketing expenses.
Current report
Depreciation*** *** Depreciation expense totaled $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Beginning in 2024, we entered into long-term agreements with public water systems, private utility and other private water providers for the delivery of 21,275 AFY of annual water supply from the Mojave Groundwater Bank via the Northern Pipeline, representing approximately 85% of capacity of the Northern Pipeline and 45% of total average long-term supply available under our current permits. Through membership in Fenner Gap Mutual Water Company, the mutual water company we formed to carry out the project, participating water providers will purchase, for up to a 50-year term (take on delivery), their contracted water supply at an agreed upon market price between $1,450 - $1,950/AFY (2024 dollars) that is estimated to provide a net return of approximately $850/AFY (2024 dollars and subject to annual inflation adjustment), after payment of operations and maintenance costs and a pro rata portion of capital costs for construction of the facilities of the Mojave Groundwater Bank project. The cost to participating water providers is estimated at this time without consideration of expected grant funding or low-interest government loans that may reduce capital costs.

We have not received significant revenues from our water supply, storage, or conveyance assets to date. Our revenues have been limited primarily to ATEC sales and sales from our alfalfa plantings and rental income from our agricultural leases. As a result, we have historically incurred a net loss from operations. We incurred an operating loss of $6.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a $7.5 million operating loss during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The reduced loss in 2026 was primarily due to higher compensation costs related to stock based non-cash bonus awards in 2025. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $8.6 million compared to a $9.6 million net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
