The Board of Directors held its first meeting on November 7 , 1968 and the first bonds were sold on August 31, 1970 . Summary of accounting policies - 4 Note 2 : Accounting requirements of the Texas Water Rights Commission - The Texas Water Rights Commission adopted a "Water District Accounting Manual" in 1974 , and the use of the Manual by all water districts was required by the Commission beginning January 1 , 1975 . The financial statements contained in this report generally conform to the requirements of the Manual. The accrual basis of accounting is followed by the District and all financial statements were prepared on this basis , except for the statement of changes in cash-all funds , which was prepared on the cash basis of accounting. Also bond interest expenses and tax revenues are reported on the cash basis , but the net change in taxes receivable is recorded and included in the fund balance of the Tax Fund. Note 3 : Debt service payments - Bond interest of $100 ,666 due on April 1, 1979 was paid to the paying agent prior to the fiscal year end and is included in Debt Service Fund expenditures; this amount was not included in the debt service requirements 41% schedules for the 1980 fiscal year. Note 4 : Accounting for capital items - The District capitalized all costs associated with its creation which included all direct costs of the sale of bonds, except for bond discounts . ,t From the date of the sale of bonds through the date of completion of related improvements , interest expenses and interest income related to these funds, and amortization of bond discount, were also capitalized. These amounts have been shown on the balance sheet as district organiza- tional costs and, as recommended by the Manual, are not being amortized. Bond discounts have been deferred and are being amortized over the life of ,t the applicable bond issue in relation to the principal amount outstanding; the amounts amortized are included in Debt Service Fund expenses . The costs of meters and boxes and residential lines are included in the General Fixed Assets Fund. Any reimbursements received to offset such costs are shown as an addition to the General Operating Fund when received. „+ Detailed fixed assets records are not presently maintained and the District has the policy of expensing currently any repair or maintenance item which does not extend the life of the asset or increase the assets ' valuation. Depreciation is not provided in accordance with the recommendations of the Manual. - 6 - EXHIBIT F Page 2 of 4 41) Bond Order and legal requirements - Note 5 : Pledge of revenues - All of the District' s bonds are payable from the proceeds of an ad valorem tax levied upon all taxable property subject to taxation within '# the District, without limitation as to rate or amount, and are further payable from and secured by a lien on and pledge of the net revenues to be received from the operation of the District ' s waterworks and sanitary sewer system after deduction of reasonable cost of administration, effi- cient operation and adequate maintenance of the District' s service faci- lities in the manner provided by Chapter 217 , Acts of the Regular Session a of the 52nd Legislature of Texas , 1951 . Note 6 : Debt service requirements - Series 1970-A - 1971-A - 1972 : The Bond Orders for the above-named series of bonds require that while said bonds or any part of the principal and interest thereof are outstanding and unpaid, there shall be levied an ad valorem tax upon all taxable property within the District sufficient in amount to pay the interest on such bonds , together with an additional amount to be placed in the sinking fund sufficient to redeem such bonds at their maturity. At such time as the net revenues from operation of the system, pledged to the payment of these bonds , together with money derived from taxes , may have accumulated a surplus in the sinking fund equal to the sum to be required in the succeeding year to pay the interest and principal of the District' s obligations maturing in that year, the District's annual tax levies may be lowered to produce not less than 25% of the bond matu- 41 rities for each succeeding year. Whenever the actual experience of three consecutive years demonstrates that the net revenues are adequate to protect the maturities of the District' s obligations, the District' s tax may be wholly abated, until further experience demonstrates the necessity to again levy taxes to avoid default in the payments of the District' s obligations as they may mature. 401 Series 1971 : The Bond Orders of the Series 1971 bonds require (1) the establish- ment of a Reserve Account, (2) setting out from the net revenues of the system an amount equal to 1/6th of the next maturing installment of interest, and (3) commencing not later than one year prior to the first maturity of principal , an amount equal to 1/12th of the next maturing installment of principal , and (4) a sum equal to 20% of the total monthly principal and interest requirements for the next maturity of principal and interest shall be paid into the Bond Fund (i .e. Debt Service Fund) until said fund, including the Reserve Account, shall consist of a sum equal to a the total principal and interest requirements for the current year, plus a sum sufficient to pay the principal and interest for the next succeeding year. After such Reserve Account shall have been accumulated , as provided above, and so long as it shall be so retained, the amount of net revenues from the operation of the system to be paid into the Bond Fund each month shall equal not less than 1/6th of the interest and 1/12th of the princi- • pal payments provided for above. The Board of Directors agrees that the rates to be fixed and the charges to be collected for services , together with taxes levied, shall at all times be sufficient to make the payment into the Bond Fund, including the Reserve Account. - 7 - EXHIBIT F Page 3 of 4 Bond Order and legal requirements - (Continued) Note 7 : Supplemental interest coupons - The Series 1971 refunding bonds have supplemental coupons attached so that the total interest paid on each bond will be equal to 10% per year from October 1, 1973 to April 1 , 1978 . The Series 1972 bonds matu- ring in the years 1982 through 2000 , aggregating $490 ,000 , also had supplemental coupons attached so that the total interest paid on each bond was 9% per year from June 1, 1972 to April 1 , 1976 . Note 8 : Redemption of bonds - The outstanding bonds of the District are callable for redemption prior to maturity at the option of the District. The bonds may be called in whole or in part, in inverse numerical order, for the purpose of re- tirement or refunding, or both, at par plus accrued interest. Bonds of 111 the Series 1970A, 1971 , 1971A and 1972 , may be called on October 1 , 1985 , April 1 , 1985 , April 1 , 1986 , and April 1 , 1987 , respectively, or any interest payment date thereafter .

Durnig the year the District agreed to rate increases, in stages, to $4 .75 per connection effective with January 1979 billing; additional increases are being requested by the * City which have not as yet been agreed to by the District. Note 12: Special grant - A sewer rehabilitation contract of approximately $125 ,000 has been authorized by the District in conjunction with the City of Friendswood • in the construction of a regional waste treatment plant. A special grant of 75% of the contract price has been awarded to the District by the Environmental Protection Agency, payable through the City of Friendswood.

The insurance agent/consultant of the district has determined that the insurance provi- • sion of the Bond Orders have been complied with in all material respects.
