  October 7, 2008, Judge Jane Johnson held a hearing with respect to the Company's
  lawsuit against the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California
  ("Metropolitan") in order (as previously reported by the Company in a Form 8-K
  dated September 3, 2008) to rule upon Metropolitan&#8217;s claim that it has immunity

  hearing, Judge Johnson issued a tentative ruling granting Metropolitan&#8217;s motion
  for judgment on the pleadings against the Company's claim for breach of
  fiduciary duty.&#160;&#160;Citing to a very recent decision (July 31, 2008) by
  the California Supreme Court (<font style="DISPLAY: inline; TEXT-DECORATION: underline">Miklosy v. Regents of the
  University of California</font>), the court indicated that it agreed with
  Metropolitan&#8217;s argument that any breach of duty alleged in the Company&#8217;s
  complaint was subject to statutory immunity, such that even if Metropolitan did
  breach their duty in failing to accept the Right of Way or refusing to certify
  the final environmental documents,&#160;Metropolitan, as a governmental entity,
  would have no liability.&#160;&#160; The court continued the hearing until
  October 30, 2008, at which time it will consider&#160;whether or not to grant
  leave to amend the complaint. Following that ruling the Company will evaluate
  all of its options.</font></div>

  8.01     Other Events
  On
  October 7, 2008, Judge Jane Johnson held a hearing with respect to the Company's
  lawsuit against the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California
  ("Metropolitan") in order (as previously reported by the Company in a Form 8-K
  dated September 3, 2008) to rule upon Metropolitan's claim that it has immunity
  under the California Government Code for any breach of its duties towards the
  Company.
  In the
  hearing, Judge Johnson issued a tentative ruling granting Metropolitan's motion
  for judgment on the pleadings against the Company's claim for breach of
  fiduciary duty.  Citing to a very recent decision (July 31, 2008) by
  the California Supreme Court (
  Miklosy v. Regents of the
  University of California
  ), the court indicated that it agreed with
  Metropolitan's argument that any breach of duty alleged in the Company's
  complaint was subject to statutory immunity, such that even if Metropolitan did
  breach their duty in failing to accept the Right of Way or refusing to certify
  the final environmental documents, Metropolitan, as a governmental entity,
  would have no liability.   The court continued the hearing until
  October 30, 2008, at which time it will consider whether or not to grant
  leave to amend the complaint. Following that ruling the Company will evaluate
  all of its options.
  The
  ruling today pertained only to the Company's claim for monetary damages from
  Metropolitan and has no effect on the Company's continued development of its Dry
  Year Supply Project as detailed in the press release dated September 18th,
  2008.
