Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The ratings of securities by nationally recognized rating agencies are designed to give an indication of credit risk. As of August 31, 2015, the District was not significantly exposed to credit risks. As of August 31, 2015, the District s investments, other than those which are obligations of or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, are rated as to credit quality as follows: Investment Rating Agency Rating Lonestar Standard & Poor s AAAm Texas Term Standard & Poor s AAAm

B. Custodial Credit Risk Deposits are exposed to custodial credit risk if they are not covered by depository insurance and the deposits are uncollateralized, collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution, or collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution s trust department or agent but not in the District s name. Investment securities are exposed to custodial credit risk if the securities are uninsured, are not registered in the name of the government, and are held by either the counterparty or the counterparty s trust department or agent but not in the District s name. As of August 31, 2015 the District was not exposed to custodial credit risk. C. Concentration of Credit Risk This risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a government s investment in a single issuer. Diversification by investment type shall be maintained by ensuring an active and efficient secondary market in portfolio investments and by controlling the market and opportunity risks associated with specific types of investments. As of August 31, 2015, the District owned investments of the following types: Investment Type % of Portfolio Texas First Bank cash 7% Gulf Coast Educators FCU - CDs 31% Texas Class.1% First Public Investment Pool 61% Texas Term Investment Pool 1% D. Interest Rate Risk This is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. In order to minimize the risk of loss due to interest rate fluctuations, investment maturities will not exceed the anticipated cash flow requirements of the funds. Maturity guidelines by fund are as follows: 1. General Fund: Investment strategies for operating funds (including any commingled pools containing operating funds) shall have as their primary objectives safety, investment liquidity, and maturity sufficient to meet anticipated cash flow requirements. 2. Capital Projects Fund: Investment strategies for capital project funds shall have as their objective sufficient investment liquidity to timely meet capital project obligations. Maturities longer than one year are authorized provided legal limits are not exceeded. 3. Debt Service Fund: Investment strategies for debt service funds shall have as their objective sufficient investment liquidity to timely meet debt service payment obligations in accordance with provisions in the bond documents. Maturities longer than one year are authorized provided legal limits are not exceeded. Investment Accounting Policy The District s general policy is to report money market investments and short-term participating interestearning investment contracts at amortized cost and to report nonparticipating interest-earning investment

contracts using a cost-based measure. However, if the fair value of an investment is significantly affected by the impairment of the credit standing of the issuer or by other factors, it is reported at fair value. All other investments are reported at fair value unless a legal contract exists which guarantees a higher value. The term short-term refers to investments which have a remaining term of one year or less at time of purchase. The term nonparticipating means that the investment s value does not vary with market interest rate changes. Nonnegotiable certificates of deposit are examples of nonparticipating interest-earning investment contracts. Public Funds Investment Pools Public funds investment pools in Texas ( Pools ) are established under the authority of the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 79 of the Texas Government Code, and are subject to the provisions of the Public Funds Investment Act (the Act ), Chapter 2256 of the Texas Government Code. In addition to other provisions of the Act designed to promote liquidity and safety of principle, the Act requires Pools to: 1) have an advisory board composed of participants in the pool and other persons who do not have a business relationship with the pool and are qualified to advise the pool; 2) maintain a continuous rating of no lower than AAA or AAA-M or an equivalent rating by at least one nationally recognized rating service; and 3) maintain the market value of its underlying investment portfolio within one half of one percent of the value of its shares.
