    An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in thefinancial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessmentof the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In makingthose risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fairpresentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in thecircumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internalcontrol. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness ofaccounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management,as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

    We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for ouraudit opinions.

    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The accounting and reporting policies of the Woodlands Joint Powers Agency (the Agency)conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America asprescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The following is asummary of the more significant policies consistently applied in the preparation of theaccompanying financial statements:

    A. Reporting EntityThe Agency was created through interlocal contracts by and among Montgomery CountyMunicipal Utility District No.s 6, 7, 36, 39, 40, 46, 47, 60, 67, The Woodlands MunicipalUtility District No. 2 and The Woodlands Metro Center Municipal Utility District (the

    Participating Districts) pursuant to the terms of the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Article4413 (32c), Vernons Annotated Texas Civil Statutes, as amended. The contractsprovide for the Agency to purchase certain equipment and supplies; to install taps andconnections to the Participating Districts water and sewer system; to perform repair andmaintenance work required in connection with the operation of the ParticipatingDistricts water, sewer and drainage systems; and to provide certain administrativeservices to the Participating Districts.

    The reporting entity refers to the scope of activities, organizations and functionsincluded in the financial statements. The Agency is a separate, self-supportinggovernmental unit and is administered by a Board of Trustees who are appointed by the

    Participating Districts. There are no dependent functions or agencies which meet any ofthe criteria for inclusion in the reporting entity in accordance with the requirements ofGASB.

    B. Business-Type ActivitiesThe business-type activities and the related accounts of the Agency are organized on thebasis of an Enterprise Fund, which is considered a separate accounting entity. Theoperations of the Enterprise Fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancingaccounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenses, asappropriate. The Enterprise Fund is used to account for operations (1) that are financedand operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises where the intent ofthe governing body is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing

    services to customers on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily throughuser charges; or (2) where the governing body has decided that periodic determinationof revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capitalmaintenance, public policy, management control, accountability or other purposes.

    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    C. Measurement Focus and Basis of AccountingThe Enterprise Fund has a net income or capital measurement focus and are accountedfor using the accrual basis of accounting, under which revenues are recognized whenthey are earned. Expenses are recognized at the time the liability is incurred. With thismeasurement focus, all assets and liabilities associated with the operation of these fundsare included in the Statement of Net Position.

    The Agency applies all GASB pronouncements as well as Financial Accounting StandardsBoard pronouncements issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless thosepronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements.

    D. Cash and Temporary Investments

    Cash and cash equivalents include amounts in checking, savings, money marketaccounts and Public Funds Investment Pools.

    E. Accounts ReceivableAn allowance for doubtful accounts is established as losses are estimated to haveoccurred through a provision of bad debts charged to earnings. Losses are chargedagainst the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a receivable isconfirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowancefor doubtful accounts is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based onhistorical experience and specifically identified questionable receivables. The evaluationis inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revisionas more information becomes available.

    At September 30, 2014, no allowance for future bad debts has been established as it ismanagements opinion that losses, if incurred, would not materially affect the financialstatements.

    F. InventoriesInventories, which consist of utility system parts and materials, are stated at the lowerof cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Expenses are recognized as the parts andmaterials are used.

    G. DepreciationDepreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of the depreciableproperty to operations on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives in theEnterprise Fund. The Agencys policy is to capitalize assets with initial cost exceeding$5,000.

    investment in capital assets consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation,reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowing used for the acquisition,construction or improvements of those assets, and adding back unspent bond proceeds.

    Net Position is reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their usethrough external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, or laws or regulations ofother governments. Unrestricted Net Position represents the remaining portion of netposition.
