Board of Directors Greater East End Management District Harris County, Texas

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund of the Greater East End Management District (the “District”), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the District’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting 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 our audit opinions. Opinions

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and each major fund of the District as of September 30, 2014, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that Management’s Discussion and Analysis on pages 3 through 11 and the Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance – Budget and Actual – General Fund on page 34 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements. The supplementary information required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as published in the Water District Financial Management Guide is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. The schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by U. S Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, and is also not a required part of the basic financial statements. The supplementary information and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The supplementary information, excluding that portion marked “Unaudited” on which we express no opinion, and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated February 26, 2015, on our consideration of the District’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. The report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the District’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

GREATER EAST END MANAGEMENT DISTRICT MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014

USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT Our discussion and analysis of Greater East End Management District’s (the “District”) financial performance provides an overview of the District’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014. Please read it in conjunction with the District’s financial statements, which begin on page 12. In addition to this discussion and analysis, this annual report consists of:

The District’s basic financial statements; Notes to the financial statements, which provide additional information essential to a full

understanding of the data provided in the financial statements; Supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board

(GASB) concerning the District’s budget; and Other Texas supplementary information required by the District’s state oversight agency,

the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The District’s annual report includes two financial statements combining the government-wide financial statements and the fund financial statements. The government-wide portion of these statements provides both long-term and short-term information about the District’s overall status. Financial reporting at this level uses a perspective similar to that found in the private sector with its basis in full accrual accounting and elimination or reclassification of internal activities. The first of the government-wide statements is the Statement of Net Position. This information is found in the Statement of Net Position column on pages 12 and 13. The Statement of Net Position is the District-wide statement of its financial position presenting information that includes all of the District’s assets, liabilities and deferred inflows and outflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the District as a whole is improving or deteriorating. Evaluation of the overall health of the District would extend to other non-financial factors. The government-wide portion of Statement of Activities on pages 15 and 16 reports how the District’s net position changed during the current fiscal year. All current year revenues and expenses are included regardless of when cash is received or paid. FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The combined statements also include fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The District has two governmental fund types and considers each a major fund. The General Fund accounts for resources not accounted for in another fund, assessment revenues, costs and general expenditures. The Special Revenue Fund accounts for

FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) the activities of the East End Improvement Corporation, EEIC, a blended component unit of the District. Governmental funds are reported in each of the financial statements. The focus in the fund statements provides a distinctive view of the District’s governmental funds. These statements report short-term fiscal accountability focusing on the use of spendable resources and balances of spendable resources available at the end of the year. They are useful in evaluating annual financing requirements of the District and the commitment of spendable resources for the near-term. Since the government-wide focus includes the long-term view, comparisons between these two perspectives may provide insight into the long-term impact of short-term financing decisions. The adjustments columns, the Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet to the Statement of Net Position on page 14 and the Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances to the Statement of Activities on page 17 explain the differences between the two presentations and assist in understanding the differences between these two perspectives. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying notes to the financial statements provide information essential to a full understanding of the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 18 through 32 in this report. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Revenues The following section summarizes significant financial revenue events for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014: Assessments - For the 2014 fiscal year (FY 14), the District funded the majority of its programs with revenue generated by an assessment on commercial properties within the boundaries of its service area at a rate of $0.15 per $100 valuation. (The Texas Legislature amended the governing legislation of the District in 2007 to permit assessments to include multifamily properties of 13-or-more units.) As of the 2013 assessment, the total property valuation for the District’s service area was $1,194,122,000. In FY 14, the District took in $1,757,308 in assessments. Of this amount $1,725,993 originated with the 2013 assessment levy, and $31,315 was the result of collections for amounts due from assessments made in prior years. For more information about assessments receivable, please refer to page 48 of this audit.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (Continued) Revenues (Continued) Considered in relation to general fund expenditures for FY 14, the monies spent on District services, excluding livable centers expenses, of which most are funded with federal grants, constitute 142% of the assessments received for the year. Other revenue used to fund District services was primarily generated by the graffiti abatement program. Greater East End Management District (District) - In addition to funds from assessments, the District took in revenue from its graffiti abatement and field services programs. The total amount of revenue for these programs during FY 14 was $551,627, which constitutes 14.4% of the total revenues of the General Fund. The graffiti program of the local government corporation remained constant during FY 14. The District is currently maintaining existing contracts for fourteen special districts and the City of Houston. East End Improvement Corporation (EEIC) - In this audit, monies that flow into the EEIC are presented as “Contract Revenue” and “Contributions” in both the “Government –Wide Financial Analysis” and the “Statement of Activities and Governmental Fund Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance.” “Contract Revenue” is composed of funds transferred into the EEIC for payment of security contracts with the Precinct Six Constable’s Office of Harris County. In FY 14, the “Contract Revenue” for FY 14 included monies paid by the District for services for two deputies and one lieutenant; Gulfgate Partners, L.P. for five deputies and one sergeant; Pelec Development for two deputies; and Baker Hughes for three deputies. All money received by the EEIC for these services is paid to Harris County. No administrative service fees are charged to cover the costs of having the EEIC function as a manager of the contracts and conduit for funds. The ability of the EEIC to receive tax-deductable contributions is a valuable mechanism for funding items essential to both the District and the East End as a whole. Expenditures The District funds the vast majority of its expenditures with the General Fund, and the services paid for with these monies fall into six categories: 1.) Security and Public Safety, 2.) Marketing and Perception Enhancement, 3.) Visual and Infrastructure Improvements and Services, 4.) Workforce Training, 5.) Program Support, and 6.) Livable Center. The total amount spent by the District for these General Fund services and other ancillary services is $4,180,562.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (Continued) Expenditures (Continued) Within the six service areas of the General Fund, there are two major fixed costs for FY 14: payments to Harris County for security contract services rendered by the Precinct Six Constable ($247,598) included in the budget for Security and Public Safety, and right-of-way maintenance contract costs ($215,820), included in the budget for Visual and Infrastructure Improvements and Services. The District’s governing legislation required only the first Service Plan to set aside 3% of assessment revenue for workforce. However, there currently is no specified percentage of revenues required for workforce development. These fixed costs, in total, count as 11.1% of the total General Fund Expenditures and consume 12.1% of the District’s total General Fund Revenue for FY 14. Of the total costs for Program Support, which stood at $756,289 in FY 14, a significant portion are dedicated to stable and recurring expenses, such as rent and utilities, professional fees (such as legal, audit, and bookkeeping), board meeting supplies, and office security. The items in this category that are most subject to variation from one fiscal year to another are salaries and benefits for employees. For FY 14, the personnel costs (including both salaries and benefits for the administrative staff and crew staff combined) were $761,679 and constituted 18% percent of the total General Fund Expenditures. Beyond providing administrative support and review of day-to-day operations, the staff of the District managed or assisted in the oversight of the following specific programs in FY 14:

1. Law Enforcement Coordination Team Meetings: District staff hosts, on a monthly basis, a meeting for law enforcement officers where they exchange information in a confidential setting with their peers from other agencies. This flow of information frequently results in action against criminal elements that operate in the East End.

2. Graffiti Abatement: District staff manages and operates a graffiti abatement program

for the East End and 14 special districts and the City of Houston. The program serves an important public safety function by quickly removing gang-related graffiti. 2,409 sites were abated in the East End, and 26,285 sites in all service areas in FY 14.

3. Right-of-Way Maintenance: District staff directs the work of the contracted labor that

picks up litter and cuts vegetation in the right-of-way. Further, District staff provides additional right-of-way services, such as tire disposal and tree trimming. More than 48 tons of trash and debris were removed out of the East End in FY 14. A collaborative project with TxDOT to maintain the I-45 Gulf Freeway corridor between Loop 610 and Lockwood with tree trimming, mowing and litter removal was started in FY 14. The District outsources a portion of the work for this project.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (Continued) Expenditures (Continued)

4. Illegal Dump Removal: District staff regularly clears illegal dumps. Dumped materials are often the product of the construction industry, although in many cases residential and commercial restaurant waste is included among the debris.

5. Inspection Services: District staff regularly patrols the East End and reports to the

proper authorities all overgrown lots, abandoned structures, and damaged infrastructure. Further, District staff inspects, on a quarterly basis, all streetlights in the East End and 591 lamps were repaired in FY 14. All lights that are not operating are reported to CenterPoint, the provider of electric transmission and distribution services for the area.

6. Community Service: District staff oversees the work of numerous community service

workers. The additional labor provided by these groups is an integral part of how the District provides so much service within a very limited budget. In FY 14, the District utilized 1,039 community service hours. The District partners with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, utilizing supervised inmates to assist with litter pick up and special projects.

7. Community Development Projects: District staff hosts community exhibits and

targeted actions such as clean-up days that build community pride and awareness of the strengths of the East End.

8. Capital Improvements: District staff seeks out opportunities and funding for large

capital improvement projects, such as the federally and state-funded East End Streetscape Project, completed in 2009, which installed extensive pedestrian, beautification, and safety improvements at four East End entryways. Also, District staff seeks out and participates in grants that fund future capital improvements to the East End. In FY 10, the District was awarded a $5 million stimulus grant in connection with Livable Centers, which was used on improvements in the Second Ward area to make it a more pedestrian friendly and transit accessible community. The District has invested $2.25 million of its reserves into improving the pedestrian environment along Harrisburg Boulevard, next to the new East End light rail, and with that initial investment, has further leveraged more than $27 million to improve transit connections, build new pedestrian and bike trails, improve sidewalks on Canal and Delano streets, and develop a bike-pedestrian plaza and green space. Funding from TIGER 4 grant awarded to the City of Houston is being used to renovate Guadalupe Plaza Park, with project oversight provided by the District’s staff.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (Continued) Expenditures (Continued)

9. Marketing and Branding: District staff publishes a newsletter for constituents that provide essential and interesting updates about the East End and the activities of the District. The District maintains its website and Facebook enabling faster updates and expanded program information to constituents and the East End Community. Additionally, the District staff sends e-blasts to targeted groups who are interested in a variety of District programs and projects, and publishes a monthly hard-copy flyer for constituents without electronic access. In FY 14, the District worked with East Downtown Management District and the Houston East End Chamber of Commerce to further brand the East End as a destination for new businesses, residents, and visitors.

10. Workforce Training: District staff establishes and implements an annual effort to

provide workforce training for residents and workers of the East End. In FY 14, the District made the second of two $45,000 payments toward an East End workforce initiative with a collaborative partner, SER Jobs for Progress, to train qualified workers for skilled East End jobs.

11. Livable Centers: In FY 2014, the District entered into agreement with TIRZ 18 and

the Houston-Galveston Area Council to conduct a feasibility study to facilitate the creation of quality places within the District and the TIRZ that further create multi- modal travel choices and determine future Livable Centers implementation projects. The total cost of the study is $287,500, with 20% of the cost shared between the District and TIRZ 18, and 80% of the cost paid by H-GAC.

In addition to funding recurring expenses, such as those for security contracts, right-of-way maintenance, workforce development, and program support, the District has provided matching funds for capital improvement projects in the Livable Centers. The costs for maintenance of these projects are ongoing, and the District will purchase necessary equipment to aid in maintenance of these projects. GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Net Position may serve over time as a useful indicator of the District’s financial position. In the case of the District, assets exceeded liabilities by $2,792,586 as of September 30, 2014. A portion of the District’s net position reflects its net investment in capital assets (e.g. furniture and fixtures, vehicles, equipment and land improvements).

Summary of Changes in the Statement of Activities

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE DISTRICT’S GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS

The District’s combined fund balances as of September 30, 2014, were $1,068,025, a decrease of $342,701 from the prior year. The fund balance in the General Fund decreased by $344,602 primarily due to operating expenses exceeding revenues. The fund balance in the Special Revenue Fund increased by $1,901 primarily due to collection of contract revenues and contributions exceeding current program support expenditures. GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS

The Board of Directors did not amend the budget during the current fiscal year. Actual net revenues were $551,927 less than budgeted mainly due to the actual grant revenues/reimbursements received being less than anticipated in the budget. Actual expenditures were $546,076 less than budgeted expenditures primarily due to lower than anticipated expenditures in the Visual and Infrastructure Improvement and Services and Livable Center budget category. See the budget to actual comparison on page 34.

NOTE 1. CREATION OF DISTRICT Greater East End Management District (the “District”), a municipal management district over the City of Houston’s (Houston) greater east end area, was created by the State of Texas on April 16, 1999 as a body politic and corporate, and a governmental agency of the State of Texas. A fifteen member Board of Directors oversees the operations of the District. The District’s five main areas of operation include security and public safety; marketing and perception enhancement; visual and infrastructure improvements and services; workforce training; and administration of the District. All programs are under a ten-year service plan for the east end area revitalization. Security and Public Safety includes a law enforcement security patrol in partnership with public and private entities and a graffiti abatement program. Marketing and perception are accomplished through branding and marketing Houston’s East End as an economically viable place to work, live and recreate. Visual and infrastructure improvements are realized with litter clean up and street enhancement projects, including the Livable Centers initiative, which will bring improvements to the pedestrian environment that address mobility, access to transportation, and public safety. Workforce Development includes education and training for East End workers and residents. As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these financial statements present the District and its component unit, East End Improvement Corporation (EEIC), an entity in which the District is considered to be financially accountable. The District is considered to be financially accountable for an organization if the District appoints the voting majority of that organization or there is a potential for that organization to provide specific financial benefit or impose specific financial burdens to the District. In certain cases, other organizations are included as component units if the nature and significance of their relationship with the District are such that their exclusion would cause the District’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the District’s operations. EEIC was created under the provisions of the Texas Transportation Code and incorporated in the State of Texas on October 28, 2002 as a public, non-profit, local government corporation. EEIC is governed by a three member board of directors appointed by the District’s Board. Although EEIC is a legally separate, tax-exempt entity, EEIC is reported as if it were part of the District because its sole purpose is to lessen the burden of the District by allowing additional private funds to be used to expand and enhance the District’s programs. EEIC currently supplements the District’s security and public safety programs (Note 7). EEIC is reported as a special revenue fund within the District’s financial statements.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying basic financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”). In addition, the accounting records of the District are maintained generally in accordance with the Water District Financial Management Guide published by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (the “Commission”). Financial Statement Presentation These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards Part II, Financial Reporting. The financial statements include:

A Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) section providing an analysis of the District’s overall financial position and changes in financial position.

Government-wide financial statements prepared using the accrual basis of accounting for

all of the District’s governmental activities. GASB Codification sets forth standards for external financial reporting for all state and local government entities, which include a requirement for a Statement of Net Position and a Statement of Activities. It requires the classification of net position into three components: Net Investment in Capital Assets; Restricted; and Unrestricted. These classifications are defined as follows:

Net Investment in Capital Assets – This component of net position consists of capital assets, including restricted capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvements of those assets.

Restricted Net Position – This component of net position consists of external constraints

placed on the use of net assets imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulation of other governments or constraints imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

Unrestricted Net Position – This component of net position consists of net assets that do

not meet the definition of Restricted or Net Investment in Capital Assets.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, generally it is the District’s policy to use restricted resources first. Government-Wide Financial Statements The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities display information about the District as a whole. The District’s Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities are combined with the governmental fund financial statements. The District is viewed as a special- purpose government and has the option of combining these financial statements. The Statement of Net Position is reported by adjusting the governmental fund types to report on the full accrual basis, economic resource basis, which recognizes all long-term assets and receivables as well as long-term debt and obligations. Any amounts recorded due to and due from other funds are eliminated in the Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Activities is reported by adjusting the governmental fund types to report only items related to current year revenues and expenditures. Items such as capital outlay are allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. Internal activities between governmental funds, if any, are eliminated by adjustment to obtain net total revenues and expenses of the government-wide Statement of Activities. Fund Financial Statements As discussed above, the District’s fund financial statements are combined with the government-wide statements. The fund statements include a Balance Sheet and Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances. Governmental Funds The District has two major governmental funds. General Fund - To account for resources not required to be accounted for in another fund, assessment revenues, costs and general expenditures. Special Revenue Fund – The District’s blended component unit, East End Improvement Corporation (EEIC), is reported as a special revenue fund.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Basis of Accounting The District uses the modified accrual basis of accounting for governmental fund types. The modified accrual basis of accounting recognizes revenues when both “measurable and available.” Measurable means the amount can be determined. Available means collectable within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay current liabilities. The District considers revenue reported in governmental funds to be available if they are collectable within 60 days after year end. Also, under the modified accrual basis of accounting, expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on long-term debt, which are recognized as expenditures when payment is due. Assessments considered available by the District and included in revenue include assessments collected during the year and assessments collected after year-end, if any, which were considered available to defray the expenditures of the current year. Deferred assessment revenues are those assessments which the District does not reasonably expect to be collected soon enough in the subsequent period to finance current expenditures. Amounts transferred from one fund to another fund are reported as other financing sources or uses. Loans by one fund to another fund and amounts paid by one fund for another fund are reported as interfund receivables and payables in the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet if there is intent to repay the amount and if the debtor fund has the ability to repay the advance on a timely basis. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include equipment and land improvements, are reported in the government-wide Statement of Net Position. All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated assets are valued at their fair market value on the date donated. Repairs and maintenance are recorded as expenditures in the governmental fund incurred and as an expense in the government-wide Statement of Activities. Capital asset additions, improvements and preservation costs that extend the life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. Interest costs, including developer interest, engineering fees and certain other costs are capitalized as part of the asset.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Capital Assets (Continued) Assets are capitalized, including infrastructure assets, if they have an original cost greater than $500 and a useful life over two years. Depreciation is calculated on each class of depreciable property using the straight-line method of depreciation. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Years

Vehicles 5 Equipment 3-5 Furniture 5 Land Improvements 10-30

Budgeting In compliance with governmental accounting principles, the Board of Directors annually adopts an unappropriated budget for the General Fund. The budget was not amended during the current fiscal year. Pensions The District has 16 full-time employees and 5 temporary full time employees and made contributions into a simplified employee pension plan for 11 of the 16 permanent employees who had 6 months of continuous work history from the date of hire. See Note 10. Measurement Focus Measurement focus is a term used to describe which transactions are recognized within the various financial statements. In the government-wide Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities, the governmental activities are presented using the economic resources measurement focus. The accounting objectives of this measurement focus are the determination of operating income, changes in net position, financial position, and cash flows. All assets and liabilities associated with the activities are reported. Fund equity is classified as net position. Governmental fund types are accounted for on a spending or financial flow measurement focus. Accordingly, only current assets and current liabilities are included on the Balance Sheet, and the reported fund balances provide an indication of available spendable or appropriable resources. Operating statements of governmental fund types report increases and decreases in available spendable resources. The District classifies fund balance in governmental funds using the following hierarchy:

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Measurement Focus (Continued) Nonspendable: amounts that cannot be spent either because they are in nonspendable form or because they are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. Restricted: amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes because of constitutional provisions, or enabling legislation, or because of constraints that are imposed externally. The District does not have any restricted fund balances. Committed: amounts that can be spent only for purposes determined by a formal action of the Board of Directors. The Board is the highest level of decision-making authority for the District. This action must be made no later than the end of the fiscal year. Commitments may be established, modified, or rescinded only through ordinances or resolutions approved by the Board. The District committed $656,532 for capital improvement projects, see Note 13. Assigned: amounts that do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed, but that are intended to be used for specific purposes. The District has not adopted a formal policy regarding the assignment of fund balances. The District has assigned funds in the amounts of $170,000, $150,000, $40,000 and $23,634 for budget stabilization, contingency reserve, vehicle replacement and TXDOT Streetscape Project, respectively. Unassigned: all other spendable amounts in the General Fund. When expenditures are incurred for which restricted, committed, assigned or unassigned fund balances are available, the District considers amounts to have been spent first out of restricted funds, then committed funds, then assigned funds, and finally unassigned funds. Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Subsequent Events In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated and disclosed all material subsequent events through February 26, 2015, which is the date these statements were available to be issued. NOTE 3. DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS Deposits Custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The District’s deposit policy for custodial credit risk requires compliance with the provisions of Texas statutes. Texas statutes require that any cash balance in any fund shall, to the extent not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or its successor, be continuously secured by a valid pledge to the District of securities eligible under the laws of Texas to secure the funds of the District, having an aggregate market value, including accrued interest, at all times equal to the uninsured cash balance in the fund to which such securities are pledged. At fiscal year-end, the carrying amount of the District’s deposits was $1,097,534 and the bank balance was $1,103,899. The bank balance was fully covered by federal depository insurance and pledged securities. The carrying values of the deposits are included in the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet and the Statement of Net Position at September 30, 2014, as listed below:

CashGENERAL FUND 1,041,095$

SPECIAL REVENUE FUND 56,439

NOTE 3. DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (Continued) Investments Under Texas law, the District is required to invest its funds under written investment policies that primarily emphasize safety of principal and liquidity and that address investment diversification, yield, maturity, and the quality and capability of investment management, and all District funds must be invested in accordance with the following investment objectives: understanding the suitability of the investment to the District’s financial requirements, first; preservation and safety of principal, second; liquidity, third; marketability of the investments if the need arises to liquidate the investment before maturity, fourth; diversification of the investment portfolio, fifth; and yield, sixth. The District’s investments must be made “with judgment and care, under prevailing circumstances, that a person of prudence, discretion, and intelligence would exercise in the management of the person’s own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of capital and the probable income to be derived.” No person may invest District funds without express written authority from the Board of Directors. Texas statutes include specifications for and limitations applicable to the District and its authority to purchase investments as defined in the Public Funds Investment Act. Authorized investments are summarized as follows: (1) obligations of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities, (2) direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies and instrumentalities, (3) certain collateralized mortgage obligations, (4) other obligations, the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the State of Texas or the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities, including obligations that are fully guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or by the explicit full faith and credit of the United States, (5) certain A rated or higher obligations of states, agencies, counties, cities, and other political subdivisions of any state, (6) bonds issued, assumed or guaranteed by the State of Israel, (7) insured or collateralized certificates of deposit, (8) certain fully collateralized repurchase agreements secured by delivery, (9) certain bankers’ acceptances with limitations, (10) commercial paper rated A-1 or P-1 or higher and a maturity of 270 days or less, (11) no-load money market mutual funds and no-load mutual funds with limitations, (12) certain guaranteed investment contracts, (13) certain qualified governmental investment pools and (14) a qualified securities lending program. The District invests in TexPool, an external investment pool that is not SEC-registered. The State Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas has oversight of the pool. Federated Investors, Inc. manages the daily operations of the pool under a contract with the Comptroller. The fair value of the district’s position in the pool is the same as the value of the pool shares.

NOTE 3. DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (Continued) Investments (continued) As of September 30, 2014, the District had the following investments and maturities:

Fund and Less Than More ThanInvestment Type Fair Value 1 1-5 6-10 10

GENERAL FUND -TexPool 45,327$ 45,327$

Maturities in Years

Credit risk is the risk that the issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. At September 30, 2014, the District’s investment in TexPool was rated AAA by Standard and Poor’s and had a weighted average maturity of 76 days. Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The District considers the investment in TexPool to have a maturity of less than one year due to the fact the share position can usually be redeemed each day at the discretion of the District, unless there has been a significant change in value. Restrictions All cash and investment of the Special Revenue Funds are restricted for the EEIC operations. NOTE 4. ANNUAL ASSESSMENT In accordance with Chapter 3807, Texas Special Districts Local Laws Code, the District may levy ad valorem taxes, assessments, or impact fees in accordance with Chapter 375, Texas Local Government Code, to provide improvements and services for a project or activity the District is authorized to acquire, construct, improve, or provide under this Act.

NOTE 4. ANNUAL ASSESSMENT (Continued) On September 30, 2004, the District approved the Greater East End Management District Service Plan (Plan). The Plan authorized levying an annual assessment which would assure sufficient funding for the services provided under the ten (10) year term of the Plan.

February 26, 2015 Board of Directors Greater East End Management District Harris County, Texas Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance

and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statement Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards

Board of Directors: We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund of Greater East Management District (“the District”) as of and for the year ended September 30, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated February 26, 2015. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the District’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the District’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit, we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the District’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is intended solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the District’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. McCall Gibson Swedlund Barfoot PLLC Certified Public Accountants February 26, 2015

February 26, 2015 Board of Directors Greater East End Management District Harris County, Texas Independent Auditor’s Report on Compliance for Each Major Program and on Internal Control

Over Compliance Required by OMB Circular A-133 Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program We have audited Greater East End Management District’s (the “District”) compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each the District’s major federal programs for the year ended September 30, 2014. The District’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Management’s Responsibility Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to its federal programs. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the District’s major federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the District’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the District’s compliance with these requirements.

Opinion on Each Major Federal Program In our opinion, the District complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended September 30, 2014. Report on Internal Control Over Compliance Management of the District is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the District’s internal control over compliance with types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance for each major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control over compliance. A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of OMB Circular A-133.
