Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 359Management's Discussion and Analysis

August 3'1, 2013

Overvielv .of the Financial St*teme*ts

This discussicn and analysis is intended to serye as al inkodactior to the Districtns basic financial statements.The District's basic fiaancial stalements are comprised of three comporents: 1) government-wide financialstatements, 2) fund financial statements and 3) notes to {inancial statements" This repart alsc containssupplementary inforrnation required by the Governaental Accounting Staldards Board (CASB) and othersupplementary informaticn required by the District's state cversight agercy, the Texas Commission on

Environmental Quality (the Commissicn).

ln accordance rvith required reporting standards, the District reports its financial activities as a special-purposegovernment. Specialpurpose goverlments are governmental entities which engage in a single governmeltalprogram, such as the provision of water, sanitary sewer and drainage services. Other activities, such as thepravision of recreation facilities and solid waste ccllection, are minor activities and are not budgeted oraccounted for as separate programs. The financial statemclts of special-ptrpose governments combine fwo

Spes of financial statements into o:re statement. These two types of financial statexents are thegovernment-wide financial statements and the fund filancial statements. The fund financial staternents are

presented on the left side of the statements, a column for adustments is to the right of the fund financialstatements and the government-wide financial statements are presented 1o lhe right side of &e adjustments

column. The following sections describe the measurement focus of the two types of staternents and thesigtificant differelces in the information they provide"

Gove{nment'wide Finalcial Statements

The focus of government-wide financial statements is on the overall {inancial positioa and activities of theDistrict. The District's gcvemment-wids financial statements includs the statement of net position and

statement of activities, which are prepared using accounting principles that are similar to commercialenterprises. The purpose of the statement of not position is to attempt to report all of the assets and liabilities ofthe District. The District reports all of its assets when it acquires or begins to maintail the assets and reports allof its liabilities when they are incurred.

The difference between the District's total assets and total liabilities is labeled as net position and this differenceis similar to the total stockholders'equity presented by a commercial enterprise.

The purpose of the statement of activities is to present the revsnues and expenses of the District. Again, theitems presented on the statement of activities are measured in a manner similar to the approach used by acommercial enterprise in that revenues are recognized when oamed or established criteria are satis{ied and

expenses are reported when incurred by the District. All changes in net position ars reported when the

underlyiag event giving rise to the change oceurs, regardless of &e timing cf related cash flows. Thus, revenuesare reported even when they may not be collected for several months or years after the end of the accountingperiod and expenses are recorded even though they may not have used cash during the current year.

3

Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 359Management's Discussion and Analysis {Continued}

August 31,2013

Although the statement of activities looks diffbrent fiom a commercial enterprise's statemer:t cf income, thefinancial sra-tement is different only in format, not sr.:bstance. Whereas the bottom line in a commercialenterprise is its net income, the )istrict reports an amoult described as change in net position, essentially thesamc thing.

Fuxd Fiuaqcial $tatements

Unlike governffent-wide fi:raacial staternents, the fiocus of fund financial statements is directed tc specificactivities of the Diskict rather than the )istrict as a whole. Except for the ge*eral fund, a specific fund isestablished to satisfy managerial cortrol over resources or to satisfu finance-related legal requirementsestablished by external parties or goyemmental statutes or regulations.

Governmertal Funds

Covertmental-fund financial statemerts ccnsisl of a balance sheet and a statement of revenues, expendituresand changes in fund balances and are prepared on an accounliag basis that is significantly different from thatused to prepars the gcvernment-wide fiaancial staternents.

In general, these fina.ncial statements have a short-term emphasis and, for the most part, measure and account forcash and other assets fhat can easily be converted into cash. Fcr example, amounts reported on the balance sheetinclude i:ems sach as cash and receivables collectible wi&in avery short period of time, but do not iacludecapital assets such as land and water, sewer and drainage systems. Fund liabilities include amounts that are tobe paid within a very skcrt period ater the end of ths fiscal year. The diffsrence between a fund's total assetsand total liabilities is labeled the fund balance and generally indicates the amount that can be used to finance thenext fiscal year's activities. Likewise, the operating statemenl for governmental funds reports only thoserevenues and expenditures that were eollected in cash or paid with cash, respeclively, during the current periodor very shortly after the end of the flscal year.

Secause the focus of the govemment-wide and fund financial statements is different, there are significantdifferences between the totals presented in these financial slatements. For this reason, there is an analysis in thetrotes to financial statements that describes the adjustments to fund balances to arrive at net position presented inthe governmental activities column on the statement *f net position. Also, there is an analysis in the notes tofinancial statements that reconciles the total change in frrnd balances for all govemmental funds to the change innet position, as repo*ed in &e governmental activities column in the statement of activities.

Notes to Financial Statements

The notes to financial statsments provide additional informatiol that is essential to a fulI understanding cf thedata fbund in the govemment-wide and fund financial statements.

Total net posilion $ (843,071) $ (1,563,428)

The total net position of the District increased W $72A357, or approximately 46 percent. The majority of theiacrease in net position is related to tax revenues and rebates from the City of Eouston {the City) intended to payprincipal on the District's bonded indebtedness, which is shown as long-term liabilities in the goverament-widefinancial statements. Although the District's investment in its capital assets is reported net cf related debt, itshould be noted that the resources needed 1o repay this debt must be provided from other sources, siace thecapital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate thsse liabilities"

At August 31, 2Ar3, unrestricted net position was $(2,3 1 7,263). This amount was negative because pursuant toa contract between the Diskict ald the City, all water, sanitary sewer and storrn sewer facilities purchased orconstructed by the District or its developers are conveyed to the City. In accordance with GASS StatemertNo. 34, expenditrres for boad issua:rce costs prior to the implementation of OASB Statement No. 34 onSeptember 1,2003,were not recorded as deferred charges, which would offset the related liability of long-termdebt.

The District does not pa*icipat* in a pension plan and, therefore, has no pension ccsts"

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in confbrmity with accountiag principles generally acceptedin the United States cf Arnerjca requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affectthe reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at thedate of the financial statements and ths reported amounts of reveaues and expelseslexpe:dituresduring the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

lnvestments and lnvestment lncame

Investments in certificates of deposit, mutual funds, U.S. Government and agency securities, andpooled funds, which have a remaining maturity of one year or less at the date of purchase, arerecorded at amortized cost. All other investments are carried at fair value . Fair value is determinedusing quoted market values.

Investment income includes dividends and interest income and the net change for the year in the fairvalue of inv€stments carried at fak value. Investment income is credited to the fund in which theinvestment is recorded.

Property laxes

An appraisal diskict annually prepares appraisal records listing all property within the Diskict andthe appraised value cf each parcel or item as of January 1. Additionally, on January 1, a tax lienattaches to properly tc secure the payment of all taxes, penalty and interest ultimately iniposed forthe year on the proporty. Aftsr the District receives its certified appraisal roll from the appraisaldistrict, the rate of taxation is set by the Board of the District based upon tle aggregate appraisalvalue. Taxes are due and payable October I or when billed, whichever is later, and becomsdelinquent after January 3l of the fcllowing year.

In the governmental funds, property taxes are initially recorded as receivables and defer:ed reyenueat the time the tax levy is billed. Revenues recognized during the fiscal year ended August 31,2A13,include collections during the curreat period or within 60 days of year-end related to the 2012 andprior years' tax levies.
