Management’s Discussion and Analysis
As management of Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 36 (the District), we offerreaders of the District’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financialactivities of the District for the year ended September 30, 2014.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The assets of the District exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscalyear by $7,971,907 (net position).
As of September 30, 2014, the District’s governmental funds reported an endingfund balance of $693,136.
The District’s cash balance at September 30, 2014 was $397,632, representing adecrease of $224,930 from September 30, 2013.
The District had general revenues of $1,670,197 and program revenues, net ofexpenses, of ($27,900) for the year ended September 30, 2014.
At the end of the fiscal year, unrestricted and unassigned fund balance for the
General Fund was $325,170, or 17 percent of total General Fund expenditures.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the District’s basicfinancial statements. The District’s basic financial statements include three components: 1)government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to thefinancial statements.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broadoverview of the District’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the District’s assets and liabilities,with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases ordecreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of theDistrict is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the District’s net position changedduring the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as theunderlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cashflows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will
only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., depreciation).
The government-wide financial statements present functions of the District that are providedfrom funding sources (governmental activities). The government-wide financial statements canbe found on pages 10-13 of this report.

FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources thathave been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The District, like other state and localgovernments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-relatedlegal requirements. The funds of the District consist solely of governmental funds (the GeneralFund and Debt Service Fund).
Governmental Funds - Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same
function reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financialstatements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as onbalances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information maybe useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of the governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-widefinancial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented in the governmental
funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-widefinancial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of thegovernment’s near-term financial decisions. Both the governmental funds balance sheet andthe governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balancesprovide an adjustments column to facilitate this comparison between the governmental fundsand governmental activities . The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found onpages 10-13 of this report.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a fullunderstanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. Thenotes to the financial statements can be found on pages 15 through 32 of this report.
OTHER INFORMATION
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presentscertain required supplementary information concerning the District’s General Fund budget.Required supplementary information can be found on page 34 of this report.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s
financial position. In the case of the District, assets exceeded liabilities by $7,971,907 as ofSeptember 30, 2014.
A portion of the District’s net position reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g. land andinfrastructure), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. TheDistrict uses these capital assets to provide services to the individuals we serve; consequently,these assets are not available for future spending.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies of the District conform with generally accepted accounting principles.The following is a summary of the most significant policies:
A. Reporting Entity
Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 36 (the “District”) was created pursuantto an order of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality dated July 28, 1976. TheDistrict operates under the terms and provisions of Chapters 49 and 54 of the TexasWater Code. The Board of Directors held its first meeting on August 14, 1976. The firstbonds were sold on August 1, 1977.
The District has contracted with various consultants to provide services to operate and
administer the affairs of the District. The District has no employees or related payrollcosts.
The District is a political subdivision of the State of Texas governed by an elected fivemember board and is considered a primary government. As required by generallyaccepted accounting principles, these general purpose financial statements have beenprepared based on considerations regarding the potential for inclusion of other entities,organizations, or functions as part of the District's financial reporting entity. Based onthese considerations, no other entities, organizations, or functions have been included inthe District's financial reporting entity. Additionally, as the District is considered a primarygovernment for financial reporting purposes, its activities are not considered a part of any
other governmental or other type of reporting entity.
Considerations regarding the potential for inclusion of other entities, organizations, orfunctions in the District's financial reporting entity are based on criteria prescribed bygenerally accepted accounting principles. These same criteria are evaluated inconsidering whether the District is a part of any other governmental or other type ofreporting entity. The overriding elements associated with prescribed criteria considered ifdetermining that the District's financial reporting entity status is that of a primarygovernment are that it has a separately elected governing body; it is legally separate; andit is fiscally independent of other state and local governments. Although not consideredsignificant in the District's reporting entity evaluation, other prescribed criteria undergenerally accepted accounting principles include considerations pertaining to organizations
for which the primary government is financially accountable; and considerations pertainingto other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with theprimary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financialstatements to be misleading or incomplete. The District participates in a joint venturewith other area municipal utility districts as more fully described in Note 8 of thesefinancial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The District's primary activities include construction, maintenance, and operation of waterand sewer system facilities and debt service on bonds issued to construct the facilities.
As noted above, the District participates in a joint venture with other area municipal utilitydistricts (collectively the “Participating Districts”). As provided in interlocal contracts byand among the Participating Districts, an independently governed agency known as TheWoodlands Joint Powers Agency (the “Agency”) provides administrative services and utilitysystem maintenance and operating services for the Participating Districts. The Agency isgoverned by a Board of Trustees made up of members appointed by the governing Boardsof the Participating Districts. The District records and accounts for its interest in the
Agency in its General Fund by the equity method, as do all of the Participating Districts,with a portion of General Fund equity reserved in the amount of the District’s equityinterest. See Note 8 for additional disclosures regarding the Agency’s operations.
B. Financial Statement Presentation
In June 1999, GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements – andManagement’s Discussion and Analysis – for State and Local Governments. Thisstatement, known as the “Reporting Model” statement, affects the way the Districtprepares and presents financial information. State and local governments traditionallyhave used a financial reporting model substantially different from the one used to prepareprivate-sector financial information.
GASB Statement No. 34 establishes new requirements and a new reporting model for theannual financial reports of state and local governments. The Statement was developed to
make annual reports easier to understand and more useful to the people who usegovernmental financial information to make decisions.
Some of the significant changes of GASB Statement No. 34 include the following:
Management’s Discussion and Analysis - GASB Statement No. 34 requires thatfinancial statements be accompanied by a narrative introduction and analytical overview ofthe government’s financial activities in the form of “management’s discussion andanalysis” (MD&A). This analysis is similar to the analysis that private sector companiesprovide in their annual reports.
Government-wide Financial Statements - The reporting model includes financial
statements prepared using full accrual accounting for all of the government’s activities.This approach includes not just current assets and liabilities, but also capital assets andlong-term liabilities (such as buildings and infrastructure and general obligation debt).
Accrual accounting reports all of the revenues and costs of providing services each year,not just those received or paid in the current or soon thereafter, as is the case with themodified accrual basis of accounting.
Governments report all capital assets, includinginfrastructure, in the government-wide Statement of Net Position and report relateddepreciation expense, the cost of “using up” capital assets, in the Statement of Activities.

The net position of a government is broken down into three categories: 1) invested incapital assets, net of related debt; 2) restricted; and 3) unrestricted.
Fund Financial Statements - These statements focus on the District’s major funds andare prepared using the modified accrual basis of accounting.
C. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e. the statement of net position and thestatement of activities) report information on all the non-fiduciary activities of the primarygovernment and its component units, as applicable. The effect of interfund activity hasbeen removed from these statements. Governmental activities , which normally aresupported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately frombusiness-type activities , which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
Likewise, the primary government is reported separately from certain legally separatecomponent units for which the primary government is financially accountable. The Districthad no business-type activities or component units as of and for the year endedSeptember 30, 2014.
The governmental funds financial statements consist of the balance sheet and statementof revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance. These financial statements havebeen adjusted to arrive at the government-wide financial statement balances (statementof net position and statement of activities). Major individual governmental funds arereported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
D. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resourcesmeasurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting . Revenues are recorded whenearned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing ofrelated cash flows.
Governmental funds financial statements are reported using the current financialresources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting . Revenuesare recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues areconsidered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soonenough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the
government considers revenue to be available if collected within 60 days of the end of thecurrent fiscal period. Revenues accrued include interest earned on investments andincome from District operations. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability isincurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service requirements, as well asexpenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recordedonly when payment is due.

The Governmental Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement No. 54, FundBalance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions (GASB 54). This Statement
defines the different types of fund balances that a governmental entity must use forfinancial reporting purposes. GASB 54 requires the fund balance amounts to be properlyreported within one of the following fund balance categories:
Nonspendable:To indicate fund balance associated with inventories, prepaids, long-term loans and notesreceivable and property held for resale (unless the proceeds are restricted, committed orassigned).
Restricted:To indicate fund balance that can be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated byconstitution, external resource providers or through enabling legislation.
Committed:To indicate fund balance that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by aformal action of the Board of Directors (the District’s highest level of decision-makingauthority).
Assigned:To indicate fund balance to be used for specific purposes but do meet the criteria to beclassified as restricted or committed.
Unassigned:
To indicate the residual classification of fund balance in the General Fund and includes allspendable amounts not contained in the other classifications.
In circumstances where an expenditure is made for a purpose for which amounts areavailable in multiple fund balance classifications, fund balance is generally depleted inthe order of restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned.
GASB 54 requires disclosure of any formally adopted minimum fund balance policies.The District does not currently have any such policies.
The accounting system is organized on a fund basis. A fund is defined as a fiscal andaccounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts, which comprise its assets,liabilities, fund equity or deficit, revenues and expenditures.
The District reports the following governmental funds:
General FundThe General Fund is used to account for the operations of the District's water andsewer system and all other financial transactions not properly includable in otherfunds. The principal sources of revenue are related to water and sewer serviceoperations. Expenditures include all costs associated with the daily operations of theDistrict.

Debt Service FundThe Debt Service Fund is used to account for the payment of interest and principal on
the District's general long-term debt. The primary source of revenue for debt serviceis property taxes pursuant to requirements of the District's bond resolutions.Expenditures include costs incurred in assessing and collecting these taxes.
E. Deferred Inflows of Resources
Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net position that applies to afuture period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) untilthat time. Deferred inflows of resources consist of unearned tax revenues.
F. Budget
An unappropriated budget is adopted for the General Fund. The budget is prepared usingthe same method of accounting as for financial reporting and serves as a planning tool.Encumbrance accounting is not utilized.
G. Investments
The District classifies investments that have a remaining maturity of one year or less atthe date of purchase as “money market investments” in accordance with Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 31, “Accounting and Reporting for CertainInvestments and External Investment Pools” (Statement No. 31). Statement No. 31defines “money market investments” as short-term, highly liquid debt instruments
including commercial paper, banker’s acceptances and U.S. Treasury and agencyobligations. The District values its “money market investments” at cost, which isconsidered to approximate market value. The District’s certificates of deposit, if any, arerecorded at cost in accordance with Statement No. 31.
H. Short-Term Interfund Receivables/Payables
During the course of operations, transactions occur between individual funds for specifiedpurposes. These receivables and payables are classified as "internal receivables" or"internal payables" on the combined balance sheet. These amounts are eliminated forgovernment-wide presentation.
I. Unamortized Bond Premium or (Discount)
Included within long term liabilities are the unamortized bond premium or (discount).They are being amortized over the life of the related obligation on the straight-linemethod. Results obtained are not materially different from the interest method.

Such assetsare recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed.Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date ofdonation.
Property, plant, and equipment of the primary government, as well as the componentunits, is depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated usefullives:
Asset Description

K. Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term
obligations are reported as liabilities in the governmental activities statement of netposition. Bond premiums or discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred andamortized over the life of the bonds. Bonds payable are reported net of any applicablebond premium or discount.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums ordiscounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount ofnew debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums are reported as otherfinancing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceedsreceived, are reported as debt service expenditures.
L. Fund Equity
Reserved/restricted equity balances represent those portions of fund balance/net positionnot appropriable for expenditures/expenses or legally segregated for a specific future use.Designated fund balances represent tentative plans for future use of financial resources.Undesignated/unrestricted fund balances/net position represents available balances forthe District's future use.

Investment PoliciesThe District has adopted a written investment policy regarding the investment of its funds as
defined in the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256, Texas Government Code. Theinvestments of the District are in compliance with its investment policy.
Applicable state laws and regulations allow the District to invest its funds in direct or indirectobligations of the United States, the State, or any county, city, school district, or otherpolitical subdivision of the State. Funds may also be placed in certificates of deposit of stateor national banks or savings and loan associations (depository institutions) domiciled withinthe State. Related state statutes and provisions included in the District's bond resolutionsrequire that all funds invested in depository institutions be guaranteed by federal depositoryinsurance and/or be secured in the manner provided by law for the security of public funds.Balances in checking accounts in depository institutions were entirely guaranteed by federaldepository insurance or security as provided by statutes and bond provisions at September
30, 2014.
Investment PoolsThe State Comptroller of Public Accounts exercises oversight responsibility of Texpool, theTexas Local Government Investment Pool. Oversight includes the ability to significantlyinfluence operations, designation of management and accountability for fiscal matters.
Additionally, the State Comptroller has established an advisory board composed of bothparticipants in Texpool and other persons who do not have a business relationship withTexpool. The advisory board members review the investment policy and management feestructure. Texpool is rated AAAm by Standard & Poors. Texpool operates in a mannerconsistent with the SEC’s Rule 2a7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Texstar operates as a pool in accordance with the SEC’s Rule 2a7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Both Texpool and Texstar use amortized cost rather than market value to report net positionto compute share prices. Accordingly, the fair value of the position of each pool is the sameas the value of the underlying shares.
Interest Rate Risk In accordance with its investment policy, the District manages its exposure to declines in fairvalues by limiting the weighted average maturity of its investment portfolio to less than twoyears to meet cash requirements for ongoing operation.
Credit Risk – InvestmentsIn accordance with its investment policy, the District minimized credit risk losses due todefault of a security issuer or backer, by limiting investments to the safest types of securities.
As the District’s investments are in investment pools, the District is not exposed to custodialcredit risk.

The emergency reserveis funded periodically by the District and other participating districts from available sources.The amount of such reserve varies from year to year pursuant to the resolution. No amountshave been recorded on the District's financial statements to reflect the District's share of thisreserve.
The relationship between the SJRA and its customer districts is purely contractual. The SJRAis a separate functioning governmental entity whose management and Board of Directors arenot subject to the control of the customer districts. The District, together with other areamunicipal utility districts with similar contracts with the SJRA (collectively the “CustomerDistricts”), contracts directly with the SJRA for required facilities and does not have a contractwith other Customer Districts. The SJRA is not a participating facility user.
The SJRA serves as the sponsor and common provider to each of its Customer Districts offacilities and related services and has full legal title and ownership to facilities, subject only tothe contractual rights of the Customer Districts to receive services.
The SJRA invests its own capital funds in the construction and acquisition of the requiredfacilities. Each Customer District makes a payment to the SJRA to defray the costs ofconstruction of capital facilities proportionate to the contractual rights of use (or capacityrights) of such customer pursuant to its contract with the SJRA. Thus, each Customer Districthas invested from its bond proceeds capital funds in the acquisition of such contract rights;however, no Customer District owns nor has legal title to all or any portion of the physical
facilities providing such services.
Under these circumstances, the District’s relationship with the SJRA is not considered toconstitute either a shared facilities agreement or a joint venture arrangement. Disclosure hasbeen made that a substantial portion of water and sewer facility costs in the District’s generalfixed assets consist of the District’s investment in the acquisition of contractual rights of use,rather than ownership of facilities.
NOTE 11 – RISK MANAGEMENT
The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and
destruction of assets, errors and omissions; and natural disasters for which the District carriescommercial insurance. The District has not significantly reduced insurance coverage or hadsettlements which exceeded coverage amounts for the past three fiscal years.
