Harris County Munieipal Utility District l,lo. 359l$anagement's Discussion and Analysis
August 31,2414
$veryiew of the trinatcial Sta
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduclion to the District's basic financial statements.The District's basic financial statements are comprised of three compone{rts: l} government-wide financialslatercents, 2) fund financial staternents and 3) notes to financial statements. This report alsr: containssupplernentary information required by the Gcyernmental Accounting Standards Board {GASB) and othersupplementary information required by the District's state oversight agency, the Texas Commissi*n anEnvironmental Qualiry {the Cornmission}.
ln asccrdance with required reporting standards, the Distriet repcrts its financial activities as a special-purposegovemm*nt. Special-puryose governments are governmrntal entities which engage in a single govemmentalprogram, such as the provision of water, sanitary $ewer and drainagc services, Other activities, slch as theprovisior: cf recreation facilities and solid waste collection, are minor activities and are nct budgeted craccounted for as separate programs. The fi:rancial statements of special-purpose goveiaments combins terotypes of financial statements into one statement. These two fypes of financial statements are thegovernrnent-wide fmancial statements and the fund financial statements. The fund financial statements are
presented on the left side of the statements, a column for adustments is to the right of the fund financialstatements ard the government-wide financial slatements are presented tc the right side of the adjustmentscolumn. The following sections descrihe the measurement focus of the two types of statements and thesignificant differences in the infornation they prcvide.
Gov*rnment-:ryi$q Finaneial Stat$m$*ts
The fccus of government-wide financial statemenls is on the overall f,nancial position and activities of theDistrict. The Dislrict's government-wide financial statements include the statement of net position andstatement of activities, which are prepared using accounting principles that are similar 1o commercialenterprises. The purpose of the statement of net position is to atternpt to report all af the assets, liabilities, anddeferred inflows and cutflows of resources af the District- The District reports all of its assets whei: it acquiresor begins ta maintain the assets and:eports a1l cf its liabilities when {hey are insurred.
The difference between the District's assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows and outflows of resources is labeledas net position and this differenee is si:nilar to the total stockholders' equity presented by a commercialenterprise.
The purpose of the statement of activities is to present the revenues and expenses of the District. Again, theitems presented tn the statement of activities are measured in a manner similar to the approach used by acommercial enterprise in that tevenues are recognized whel earned ar established criteria are satisied andexpenses are reported when incuned by the Diskict. All changes in net position are reported when theunderlyiag event giving rise tc the change occurs, regardless of the tirning of related cash flows. Thus, revenues
are reported even when they rnay nct be collected for several months or years afler the end of ths accountingperiod and expenses are recorded even though they may nr:t have ased cash during the current year.
Harris County Municipal Utllity Sistrict No. 3SgManagernent's *iscuesion and Analysis (Ccntinued)
August 31,2*14
Although the statement *f activities lccks diflerent frcm a commercial enterprise's statement *f income, thefinancial statement is different cnly in funnal, nat substance. Whereas the bcttom iine in a eommerciatrenterprise is its net ineome, the District rcports an amcu*l described as ehange in aet pcsition, esseittially thesamc thing.
Fund Financial S1*tements
Unlike government-wide finaneial statemsr:as, the fbcus of fund financial statements is directed ta sp*cificactivities of the District rather than the l)istri*t as a wh*le. Xxcept for the general fund, a specific fuld isestablished to satisfy managerial control cver r€so::rces or to satis$ finance-related legal requirernentsestablished by exteraal parties or govemmental statutes or regulati*ns.
GovernmeukLl lunds
Governmental-fund financial statements co*si*t *f a balance sheet and a statement of revenues, expendituresand changes in fund balances ald are prepar*d sn an &eco*nting basis that is significantly different from thatus*d to prepare the g*vemment-wide financial statements.
In general, these financial statements have a short-term emphasis and, fbr the most patt, measure and account fcrcash and olher assets that *an easily be converted into eash. For example, anounts reported on the balance sheetinclude items such as cash and reeeivabl*s collectible within a very short period of time, but do not includecapilal assets such as land and wate:, $ewer and drainage systems. Fun<l liabilities inciude amounts that ars r*be paid within every short period aft*r the end of the {scal year. The difference between a fund's assets,liabilities, and d*ferred inflows and oulflows of resourees i: labeted the fund balance and generally indicates theamo::at that cax be use* ta finaree thc next fiscal year's activities. Likewise, the operating statemeat forgovernmental funds repcrts c*ly those r*venu6s and expenditr:res that were collected in cash or paid with cash,respectively, during the c*rrent period or very sho*ly after the end cf the {iscal year.
Bscause the focus of the gcvemment-wide and fund financial statements is different, there are significaatdifferetces between the totals presented in these financial statements. For this reason, there is an analysis in thenotes tc fina.ncial statem*nts that describes the adjustments ts fund balances to arrive at net position presented inthe governmental activities column on the statement of net position. Alsc, there is an analysis in the notes tofinancial statemelts that reconciles the t*tal change in fund balances for all gcvemrnental funds tc the change innet position, as reported in the governrnental activities column in the statement of activities.
Notqs to Sinancial Statemeats
The notes to fir:ancial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understa:rdins of thedata found in the government*wide a:rd fund finaneial statements.

Management's Siscussion and Analycis {Continued}August 31,2A14
The total net pcsition *f the District increased by $568,57i, cr approximately 51 percent. The rnajorily of theincrease in net position is related to tax revenues and rebates from the City of Xoustcn {th* City} intended to payprincipal ar: the listrict's bonded indebtedness, which is shown as long-term liabilities in the government-widefina:r,cial statements. Althar:gh the District's investment in its capital assets !s repcrted net of related debt, itshculd be n*ted that the r*sources needed to repay this debt rnust tre pr*vided flom other ssurees, since thecapital assets thernselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
At August 31,2414, uxeskicted net positicn was ${?,221,3?1). This amcunt was negative because pursuant taa eontraet betwsen the Distriet and ths Cify, all water, sanitary se\ryer aad stcrm sawer faeilities pu:chased ore*nstructed by the District or its dsvelcpers are co:rveyed to the City. ln accordance with CAS3 $tatementNo- 34, expenditures for bond issuance costs priar to the irnplementatior of GASB Statement No. 34 onSepte:nber t,20*3, were n*t recorded as defurred charges, wl:ieh would *ffset the relate<i liabilig, of long-te:mdebt.

Measurement Facu* and Easrs af Accounting
Gcverrmext-widc Finaneial $t*tements
The goverxment-wids financial statements are repafied using the *c*n*mic tesources measurementfbcus ant! *ecrual basis *f acccunting. Reveaaes are record*d when aarned and expenses arereeorded al the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of the tirning cf related cash flows.
N*texch&nge transactions, in which the Diskict recei.ves {or gives} valae without directly giving {orreeeiving) equal value in exchange, include prcperty taxes and d*nations. Recognition standards arebased o* the characteristics and elasses *f nonexchange transactior:s. Revenues from pr*perty taxesare recognized in the period for:shich the tax*s are levied. Intergovernmental revetues ar6reccgnized as revenuc$, nel *f estimated refuads and uncr:llectible am*unts, in the acccrnting periodwhen an enfcrceabl* legal claixr t* the assets arises and the use ofresources is required ar is firstpen:ritted. Dcnatic:rs are reeagnized as revenues, n€t of estimated ulccllectibl* amounts, as sos::asall eligibility requir*m*nts imposed by the provider have been met. Amounts received befbre alleligibility requireme:rts have been met are reported as deferred inflows of resources.
Fund Finalcial $t*ten:er:ts
Govemmental fur:ds are repcrted using the current financial resorrces rneas::rernent focus and themodified accruai basis of accounting. With this measurement focus, olly current assets andliabilities are generally included on the balance sheet. Thc statement cf gov*rnmental firndsrsvenugs, *xpe::ditr:res a:rd changes in fund balances presents ilcreases {revenues and otherfinancing sourcas) and decreases (expe:rditures and other financing uses) in spendable resources.General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures and proceeds oflong*term debt arereported as other financing sources. Under the mcdified accrual basis of accounting, revenues arereccgnized when both measurable ard available. The District considers revenlies reported in thegcvernmental funds to be available if they are coll*ctible within 6t) days afler year-end. Principalreventle sources considered susceptible to accrual include taxes, cha:ges for services and investmentincome. Other revenues ar€ r:onsidered to be measurable and available cnly when cash is recsivedby the Diskiet. Expenditures ars recorded when the related fuld liability is incu:red, except forprincipal and interest cn general long-term debt, which aro recognized as expenditures whenpayment is due"

Deferred Aa#laws and lnflaws of Resorrces
A deferred outflow of resources is a ccnsumption of net position that is applicable to a fi:turereporting period and a d*ferred in{low of resources is an acquisition of net position that is applicableto a fiture reporting period.
I nterfu n d Transacti o ns
Transfers from one fund ta another fund are reported as interfund receivables and payables if there isintent to repay the arnount and if there is the ability to r*pay the advancs on a timely basis.Operating transfers represenl legally authorized transfers from the fund receiving resourcss to thefund through which the resources are to be expended.
Pensian Ccsfs
The District daes not participate in a pension plan and, therefore, has no pension casts.
Use of fsffmafes
The preparation af financial statements in confoffnity with accounting p:inciples generally acceptedk the United States of America req*ires management to mak* estimates and assumptions that affectthe reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and defer:red inflows and outflows of resources anddisclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the repcrledamounls of reveaues a:rd expenseslexpenditures during the reporling period. Actual results coulddiffer frcm those estimates.

Oe'ht /ssuance 6os{s
Debt issuanca costs, other than prepaid insurance, do nst meet the definition of an asset or deferredo:rtflows of rescurces since the costs are not applicable to a futur* period and, therefore, arerecognized as an experse/expenditure in the period incurred.
Lang-term AHigations
Ia the governmsnt-wide {inancial statements, long-term debt and other lcng-term obligations arereported as liabilities. Premiums and discounts on bonds are recognized as a component oflcng-term liabilities and araortized over the life af the related debt using the effective interest ratemethod. Bonds payable are repcrted net of the applicable bond premirrm or discount.
In the fund financial statemenls, governmental fund types recognize bond premiurns and discauntsduring the current period. The face amocnl of debt issued is roported as other financing sources.Premiuns received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sourc€s while discouats on debtissuancss are reported as oiher financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or nol withheld from theactaal debt proceeds received, are repoded as debt service expendifures.
