MUNICIPAL BOND RATING Moody's Investors Service. Inc. ("Moody's") has assigned a rating of "AAA" to the Bonds with the understanding that. simultaneously with the delivery of the Bonds, a financial guaranty insurance policy will be issued by Ambac Assurance Corporation ("Ambac Assurance"). The District received an underlying rating on the Bonds of "Baal" from Moody's. An explanation of the significance of a rating may be obtained from the company furnishing the rating. The rating reflects only the respective view of such company, and the District makes no representation as to the appropriateness of the rating.

Ambac Assurance will make such payments to the lnsurance Trustee on the later of the date on which such principal and interest becomes Due for Payment or within one business day following the date on which Arnbac Assurance shall have received notice of Nonpayment from the Paying AgentlRegistrar. The insurance will extend for the term of the Bonds and, once issued, cannot be canceled by Ambac Assurance.

The Financial Guaranty lnsurance Policy does not insure any risk other than Nonpayment, as defined in the Policy. Specifically, the Financial Guaranty lnsurance Policy does not cover: 1. payment on acceleration, as a result of a call for redemption (other than mandatory sinking fund redemption) or as a result of any other advancement of maturity. 2. payment of any redemption, prepayment or acceleration premium 3. nonpayment of principal or interest caused by the insolvency or negligence of any Trustee.

BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM This section describes how ownership of the bonds is to be transfemd and how the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds are to be paid to and credited by the Depository Trust Company while the Bonds are registered in its nominee's name. The information in this section concerning DTC and the Boo;<-Entry-Only System has been provided by DTC for use in disclosure documents sucli as this Official Statement. The District believes the source of such information to be reliable, but takes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof. The District cannot and does not give any assurance tlie (I) DTC wili distribute payments of debt service on the Bonds, or redemption or other notices, to DTC Participant, (2) DTC Participants or others will distribute debt service payments paid to DTC or its nominee (as the registered owner of the Bonds), or redemption or other notices, to the Beneficial Owners, or that they will do so on a timely basis, or (3) DTC will serve and act in the manner described In this Ofiicial Statement. The current rvles applicable to DTC are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the current procedures of DTC to be followed in dealing with DJC Parfiopants are on file with DJC. The Depository Trust Company ("DTC). New York, New York, will act initially as securitles depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully registered certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC, the world's largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 2 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments from over 85 countries that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges in Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securitles brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC, in turn, is owned by a number of Direct Participants of DTC and Members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, Government Securities Clearing Corporation, MBS Clearing Corporation, and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation. (NSCC, GSCC, MBSCC, and EMCC, also subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the New York Stock Exchange. Inc., the American Stock Exchange LLC, and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("lndirect Participants"). DTC has Standard & Poor's highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com. Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond ("Beneficial Ownef') is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and lndirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or lndirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct or lndirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the Bonds, except in the event that use ofthe book-entry system for the Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co.. or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co.. or such other DTC nominee, do not effect any chanoe in beneficial ownershin. DTC has no knowledse of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds: DTC's records reflect only ;he identity of the Direct ~art:cipants to v~nose ac&~nts such Bonds are credited, uvhich may or may not be tne Benef.c:al Ovrners. Tnc Part:cipants will remain responsble for deeping accoLnt of the~r hoo~ngs on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to lndirect Participants. and by Direct Participants and lndirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them. subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Security documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the Paying Agent and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them. Redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to the Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the District as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as made by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt Of funds and corresponding information from Issuer or Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC nor its nominee, Agent, or lssuer, subject to any statutorv or reoulatolv reouirements as mav be in efiect from time to time.

DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the District. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, Bonds are required to be printed and delivered. The District may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Bonds will be printed and delivered in accordance with the Bond Order. In reading this Official Statement it should be understood that while the Bonds are in the Book-Entry-Only System, references in other sections of this Official Statement to registered owners should be read to include the person for which the Participant acquires an interest in the Bonds, but (i) all rights of ownership must be exercised through DTC and the Book-Entry-Only System, and (ii) except as described above, notices that are to be given to registered owners under the Bond Resolution will be given only to DTC.

The Bonds are payable from a continuing, direct, annual ad valorem tax, without legal limitations as to rate or amount, on all taxable property within the District. See "THE BONDS - Source of Payment." The investment quality of the bonds depends both on the ability of the District to collect from the property owners all taxes levied against their property or, in the event of foreclosure, the value of the taxable property with respect to taxes levied by the District and by other taxing authorities. Factors Affecting Taxable Values and Tax Payments Economic Factors and lnterest Rates: A substantial percentage of the taxable value of the District results from the current market value of single-family residences and developed lots. The market value of such homes and lots is related to general economic conditions affecting the demand for and taxable value of residences. Demand for lots and residential dwellings can be significantly affected by factors such as interest rates, credit availability, construction costs, energy availability and the prosperity and demographic characteristics of the urban center toward which the marketing of lots is directed. Decreased levels of construction activity would tend to restrict the growth of property values in the District or could adversely impact existing values. lnterest rates and the availability of mortgage and development funding have a direct impact on the construction activity, particularly short-term interest rates at which developers and homebuiiders are able to obtain financing for development and construction costs. Lenders have been selective in recent years in making real estate loans in the Houston area because of the negative impact to their real estate portfolios.. lnterest rate levels may affect the ability of a landowner with undeveloped property to undertake and complete development activities within the District. Because of the numerous and changing factors affecting the availability of funds, the District is unable to assess the future availability of such funds for continued development and construction within the District. in addition, the success of development within the District and growth of District's taxable property values are, to a great extent, a function of the DallaslFort Worth metropolitan and regional economics. Comoetition: The demand for single-family homes in the District, could be affected by competition from other residential developments including other residential developments located in other utility districts located near the District. In addition to competition for new home sales from other developments, there are numerous previously owned homes in more established neighborhoods closer to downtown Dallas/Fort Worth that are for sale. Such homes could represent additional competition for homes proposed to be sold within the District. The competitive position of the developer in the sale of developed lots and of prospective builders in the construction of single- family residential houses within the District is affected by most of the factors discussed in this section. Such a competitive position is directly related to the growth and maintenance of taxable values in the District and tax revenues to be received by the District. The District can give no assurance that building and marketing programs in the District by the developer will be implemented or, if implemented, will be successful. Developers Under No Obiioation to tile District: There is no commitment from, or obligation of, any developers to proceed at any particular rate or according to any specified plan with the development of land or the construction of homes in the District. and there is no restriction on any landowner's right to sell its land. Failure to construct taxable improvements on developed lots and tracts and failure of landowners to develop their land would restrict the rate of growih of taxable value in the District. The District is also dependent upon developers and the other principal taxpayers for the timely payment of ad valorem taxes, and the District cannot predict what the future financial condition of either will be or what effect, if any, such financial conditions may have on their ability to pay taxes. See 'THE DEVELOPERS" and "SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION - Principal Taxpayers." lmoact on District Tax Rates: Assuming no further development, the value of the land and improvements currently within the District will be the major determinant of the ability or willingness of District property owners to pay their taxes. The 2002 assessed valuation of the District (see "FINANCIAL STATEMENT") is $276,417,531. After issuance of the Bonds the projected maximum annual debt service requirement will be $883,018 (2011) and the projected average annual debt service requirement will be $627,420 (2003 through 2023, inclusive). Assuming no increase or decrease from the 2002 assessed valuation and no use of funds on hand, a tax rate of $0.32268 per $100 assessed valuation at a 99% collection rate would be necessary to pay the projected maximum annual debt service requirement of $883,018 and a tax rate of $0.22928 per $100 assessed valuation at a 99% collection rate would be necessary to pay the projected average annual debt service requirement of $627.420. The District's 2002 debt service tax rate is $0.1722 per $100 assessed valuation. See "APPENDIX A- TABLES 4 and 5 herein. Tax Collections The District's ability to make debt service payments may be adversely affected by its inability to collect ad valorem taxes. Under Texas law, the levy of ad valorem taxes by the District constitutes a lien in favor of th,e District on a parity with the liens of all other state and local taxing authorities on the property against which taxes are levied, and such lien may be enforced by foreclosure. The District's ability to collect ad valorem taxes through such foreclosure may be impaired by (a) cumbersome, time-consuming and expensive collection procedures. (b) a bankruptcy court's stay of tax collection procedure against a 17 taxpayer, or (c) market conditions limiting the proceeds from a foreclosure sale of taxabie property. While the District has a lien on taxabie property within the District for taxes levied against such properly, such lien can be foreclosed only in a judicial proceeding. Because ownership of the land within the District is highly fragmented among a number of taxpayers, attorney's fees, and other costs of collecting any such taxpayer's delinquencies could substantially reduce the net proceeds to the District from a tax foreclosure sale. Finally, any bankruptcy court with jurisdiction over the bankruptcy proceedings initiated by or against a taxpayer within the District pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code could stay any attempt by the District to collect delinquent ad valorem taxes against such taxpayer. Consolidation A district (such as the District) has the legal authority to consolidate with other districts and, in connection therewith, to provide for the consolidation of its water and wastewater systems with the water and wastewater system(s) of the district(s) with which it is consolidating. The revenues of the consoi oated system may be p eogeo equally to all first lien bonds of thc'consolida~in~ distr~cls. ho representation is maoe that the District wil. consolidate ils water and vlastevlater system witn any other oisrrict. Annexation Under Texas law, the territory within the District may be annexed by the Town of Trophy Club (the "City") without the consent of the District or Its residents. if annexation by the City did occur, the District would be abolished within 90 days after annexation. When the District is abolished, the City must assume the assets, functions, and obligations of the District (including the Bonds). No representation is made concerning the likelihood of annexation or the ability of the City to make Debt Service Payments on the Bonds should annexation occur. Alteration of Boundaries in certain circumstances, under Texas law the District may alter its boundaries to: 1) upon satisfying certain conditions, annex additional territorv: and 2) exclude land subiect to taxation within the District that is not served bv District facilities if the District simultaneously annexes iand of equal acreage and value that may be practicably served by ~istict facilities. No representatlon is made concerning the likelihood that the District would effect any change in its boundaries. Registered Owners' Remedies Bond owners are entitled under Texas Law to seek a writ of mandamus to compel the District to perform its obligations under the Bond Order. Such remedy would have to be exercised upon each separate default and couid prove costly, time-consuming and difficult to enforce. Further, there is no trust indenture or trustee, and all legal actions to enforce such remedies would have to be taken at the initiative of, and be financed by, Bond owners. The Bond Order does not provide for acceleration of maturity of the Bonds upon any default. Bankruptcy, reorganization and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor's rights generally may also limit the rights and remedies of the Bond owners and the enforceability of the Bonds. See "THE BONDS - Remedies In Event of Default." Bankruptcy Limitation to Registered Owners' Rights The enforceability of the rights and remedies of Bondholders may be limited by laws relating to bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors of political subdivisions such as the District. Texas law requires a municipal utility district such as the District to obtain the approval of the TCEO as a condition to seeking relief under the Federal Bankruptcy Code. if a petitioning district were allowed to proceed voluntarily under Chapter 9 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, it could file a plan for an adjustment of its debts. If such a plan were confirmed by the bankruptcy court, it could, among other things, affect Registered Owners by reducing or eliminating the amount of indebtedness, deferring or rearranging the debt service schedule. reducing or eliminating the interest rate, modifying or abrogating collateral or security arrangements, substituting (in whole or in part) other securities, and otherwise compromising and modifying the rights and remedies of the Registered Owner's claim against a district. A district may not be forced into bankruptcy Involuntarily. The Effect of the Financiai lnstitutions Act of 1989 on Tax Collections of the District The "Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1983 ("FIRREA"), enacted on August 9, 1989, contains certain provisions which affect the time for protesting property valuations, the fixing of tax liens, and the collection of penalties and interest on delinquent taxes on real property owned by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") when the FDlC is acting as the conservator or receiver of an insolvent financial institution. Under FIRREA real property held by the FDIC Is still subject to ad valorem taxation, but such act states (i) that no real property of the FDlC shall be subject to foreclosure or sale without the consent of the FDIC and no involuntary liens shall attach to such property, (ii) the FDlC shall not be liable for any penalties or fines, including those arising from the failure to pay any real or personal property tax when due and (iii) notwithstanding failure of a person to challenge an appraisal in accordance with state law, such value shali be determined as of the period for which such tax is imposed. 18 There has been little judicial determination of the validity of the provisions of FlRREA or how they are to be construed and reconciled with respect to conflicting state laws. However, certain recent federal court decisions have held that the FDlC is not liable for statutory penalties and interest authorized by State property tax law, and that although a lien for taxes may exist against real property, such lien may not be foreciosed without the consent of the FDIC, and no liens for penalties, fines. interest, attorneys fees, costs of abstract and research fees exist against the real property for the failure of the FDlC or a prior property owner to pay ad valorem taxes when due. It is also not known whelher the FDlC will attempt to claim the FlRREA bxemptjons as to t'hgtlme for conlesting va Latlons and tax assessments made prior lo and after tne'enactment of FIRREA. Accordingly, to the exrent \hat the FlRREA provisions are val:o and applicable to any propeny in lhe Distrct, and to tne exlenr that the FDlC attempts to enforce the same, these prov:sions may aflect tne timeliness of collection of taxes on propeny, ~f any. owned by tne FDlC in tne District, and may prevent the colection of penalties and interest on such taxes. Marketability The District has no understanding with the Initial Purchaser regarding the reoffering yields or prices of the Bonds and has no control over trading of the Bonds in the secondary market. Moreover, there is no assurance that a secondary market will be made in the Bonds. If there is a secondary market, the difference between the bid and asked price for the Bonds may be greater than the difference behveen the bid and asked price of bonds of comparable maturity and quality issued by more traditional issuers as such bonds are more generally bought, sold or traded In the secondary market. Continuing Compliance with Certain Covenants The Bond Order contains covenants by the District intended to preserve the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. See 'THE BONDS - Specific Tax Covenants." Failure by the District to comply with such covenants on a continuous basis prior to maturity of the Bonds could result in interest on the Bonds becoming taxable retroactively to the date of original issuance. See "LEGAL MATERS." Future Debt The District has reserved in the Bond Order the right to issue the remaining $4,540,000 authorized but unissued unlimited tax bonds and such additional bonds as may hereafter be approved by both the Board of Directors and voters of the District. All of the remaining unlimited tax bonds, which have heretofore been authorized by the voters of the District may be issued by the District from time to time for qualified purposes, as determined by the Board of Directors of the District, subject to the approval of the Attorney General of the State of Texas and the TCEQ. In the opinion of the District's engineer, the remaining authorization should be sufficient to complete ultimate development within the District. At this time no future bond issues are anticipated.

Ordinarily, the developer pays one hundred percent (100%)of the costs of paving and amenity design and construction while the utility districts finance the costs of the water supply and distribution, wastewater collection and drainage facilities. Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 2 has a policy in place requiring developers to pay 100% of all development costs with no reimbursement The Town of Trophy Club oversees the development and platting of all lots as well as street construction and building inspection. While a landowner or developer is required by the TCEQ to pave streets and pay for its allocable portion of the costs of utilities to be financed by the district through a specific bond issue, if any, a developer is generally under no obligation to a district to undertake development activities with respect to other property it owns within a district. Furthermore, there is no restriction on a developer's right to sell any or all of the land. which the developer owns within a district. In addition, the developer is ordinarily the major taxpayer within the district during the early stages of development. In Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 2 the developer is a minority landowner and taxpayer when compared to the number of resident homeowners within the District. Description of the Developers Beck Properiies is the primary developer in the District. In addition to Beck Properties, Terra Land Development Co. is currently developing and marketing a 23.5361-acre. 46-lot resident~al development. THE DISTRICT'S SYSTEM General The following information describes generally the water, sewer and drainage systems for the entire Trophy Club project, including those facilities located in the District and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 2. Hereinafter. Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 2 are referred to as "MUD No. 1" and "MUD No. 2. MUD No. 2 in partnership with MUD No. 1 manages the operation of the District facilities under a Master District concept. All financial transactions relating to water and sewer operations are included in the financial statements of the Master District, a portion of which is included in APPENDIX A as TABLE 19. Specific information regarding water and sewer rates and other fees within the District is included in APPENDIX A, TABLES 20 -22. Description of the Water System Sources of Water Supo~v: The present water supply is provided from two sources: (i) four ground wells which provide approximately 1,000,000 gallons per day, and (ii) a 21 inch water line which is capable of delivering 8,000.000 gallons per day of treated water from the City of Fort Worth facilities. (See "WATER SUPPLY CONTRACT" herein). Currently the District contracts with the City of Fort Worth on behalf of the Trophy Club development, for water service in excess of that produced by the four wells. Current maximum usage is some 5,000.000 gallons per day (of which 3,700,000 is Fort Worth water). These sources, when combined, provide water, which complies with the quality requirements of the Texas Department of Health and needs only chlorination at the water plant. Water Plant Facility: The present facility provides 4,000,000 gallons ground storage with pumping/chlorination capacity of 10,000,000 gallons per day. This facility is currently being expanded. Description of the Wastewater System Wastewater Treatment Plant Facilihl: The wastewater treatment plant system has a permitted treatment /discharge capacity of 1,750,000 gallons per day from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality under TPDES Permit No. 11593-001. This facility is currently being expanded. Although the permit authorizes the discharge of wastewater to the adjacent tributary leading to Lake Grapevine, the plant effluent is currently pumped to various holding ponds within the community and is re-used for irrigating the golf course. WATER SUPPLY CONTRACT The charge to the Master District for the purchase of the City of Fort Worth's water is presently S1.55 per 1.000 gallons To finance MUD No. 1's share of the cost of the original water storage facility payable to the City and provide for use of the water supply throughout the Trophy Club project, MUD No. 1 entered into a contract with Gibraltar Savings Association dlblal Trophy Club dated August 21. 1979. Under the terms of such contract Gibraltar agreed to fund all money required to be paid by MUD No. 1 to the City. Gibraltar also retained a right to a portion of the water made available through these facilities. MUD No. 1 repaid its proportionate share of the advances made by Gibraltarto the City. MUD No. 1 and Gibraltar mutually agreed to 25 cooperate in establishing a central Water system to serve the entire Trophy Club project by using MUD No. 1 as a "Master District". Subsequently Gibraltar and MUD No. 1 entered into such contract including all successors to Gibraltar. MUD No. 2 as a successor to Gibraltar became a party to this Master District Contract. In October 2000 MUD No. 1 and MUD No. 2 renegotiated the Master District Contract as an agreement between the two districts only. In 1991, a 15,000-foot section of the 21-inch line had to be relocated due to road construction at a cost of 1.1 million dollars. MUD No. 1 financed its portion plus all uncommitted capacity in the relocated line through a bond issue sold in 1991. MUD No. 1 fronted the total cost of relocating the line and was subsequently reimbursed by MUD No. 2 for its current ownership portion. MASTER DISTRICT CONTRACT On December 1. 1982, MUD No. 1 entered into a written Contract for the Provision, Operation and Maintenance of Water Supply and Waste Disposal Facilities with Gibraltar Savings Association as the then principal developer of Trophy Club (the "Contracl"). Under the terms of the Contract, MUD No. 1 agreed to construct, operate, and maintain the central water supply and wastewater treatment facilities to serve the entire Trophy Club project, including MUD No. 2 and other land to the north and northwest of MUD No. 1 which is part of the Trophy Club project, but not yet developed or included in a municipal utility district. On October 4, 2000, MUD No. 1 and MUD No. 2 renegotiated this contract between MUD No. 2 and MUD No. 1. They are currently operating under the new Master District Contract. The Contract contains provisions regarding the policies and procedures to be used in the planning, financing, and operation of the joint facilities. In general, the Contract provides that the entity holding title to district facilities under the previous Master District Contract will continue to hold title to those facilities. All future construction andlor renovation of facilities will be overseen by the Master District Board, which consists of 3 members each from MUD No. 1 and MUD No. 2. All new construction of central plant facilities will be shared equally by MUD No. 1 and MUD No. 2 while new construction specific to an individual MUD will be paid for by that MUD. The Contract may be terminated by any party as of September 30, 2005, so long as notice to terminate is submitted in writing to all parties by September 30,2003. After September 30,2005, this Contract may be terminated by any party as of September 30 of any year by written notice to all other parties delivered at least two (2) years in advance. This Contract may be terminated at any othertime or upon shorter notice only upon consent of both districts.

Fund and Investment TVD~ TexPooi $1,062,603 Cash on Hand (Depository Bank) 27.849 Total investments $1,090,452 TAX DATA District Bond Tax Rate Limitation The District's tax rate for debt service on the Bonds is legally unlimited as to rate or amount. Maintenance Tax The Board of Directors of District has the statutory authority to levy and collect an annual ad valorem tax for planning, constructing, acquiring, or maintaining or repairing or operating the District's improvements, if such maintenance tax is authorized by a vote of the District's electors. Such tax is in addition to taxes which the District is authorized to levy for paying principal of and interest on the Bonds, and any tax bonds which may be issued in the future. At an election held on August 8, 1980. voters within the District authorized a maintenance tax not to exceed $0.251$100 assessed valuation. As shown in APPENDIX A. TABLE 13 - "TAX RATE DISTRIBUTION," the District levied a 2002 maintenance and operations tax of $0.16784/$100 assessed valuation. Overlapping Taxes Other governmental entities whose boundaries overlap the District have outstanding bonds payable from ad valorem taxes. The statement of direct and estimated overlapping ad valorem tax debt shown in APPENDIX A - TABLE 14 (page A-6) was developed from several sources, including information contained in "Texas Municipal Reports," published by the Municipal Advisory Council of Texas. Except for the amount relating to the District, the District has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of such information, and no person is entitled to rely upon information as being accurate or complete. Furthermore, certain of the entities listed below may have issued additional bonds since the dates stated in this tabie, and such entities may have programs requiring the issuance of substantial amounts of additional bonds, the amount of which cannot be determined. Political subdivisions overlapping the District are authorized by Texas law to levy and collect ad valorem taxes for operation, maintenance and/or general revenue purposes in addition to taxes of debt service and the tax burden for operation, maintenance and/or general purposes is not included in these figures. See APPENDIX A.- TABLES 14- 16 for information on overlapping taxing entities. TAXING PROCEDURES Authority to Levy Taxes The Board is authorized to ievy an annual ad valorem tax on all taxable property within the District in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, their pro rata share of debt service on any contract tax bonds and any additional bonds or obligations payable from taxes which the District may hereafter issue (see "RISK FACTORS - Future Debl" herein) and to pay the expenses of assessing and collecting such taxes. The District agrees in the Bond Order to ievy such a tax from year-to-year as described more fully herein under "THE BONDS - Source of and Security for Payment." Under Texas law, the Board is also authorized to levy and collect an ad valorem tax for the operation and maintenance of the District and its water and wastewater system and for the payment of certain contractual obligations, if authorized by its voters. See " TAX RATE LIMITATION" herein." Properly Tax Code and County-Wide Appraisal District The Texas Property Tax Code (the "Property Tax Code") specifies the taxing procedures of ail political subdivisions of the State oiTexas, including the District. Provisions of the Property Tax Code are complex and are not fully summarized herein. 28 The Propelty Tax Code requires, among other matters, county-wide appraisal and equalization of taxable property values and establishes in each county of the Statg::.of Texas an appraisal district wiih'the responsibility for recording and appraising property for all taxing units within the county and an appraisal review board with responsibility for reviewing and equalizing the vaiues established by the appraisal district. The board of directors of the appraisal district selects a chief appraiser to manage the appraisal ofices of the appraisal district. The Denton County Appraisal District (the "DCAD) has the responsibility for appraising property for all taxing units within Denton County, including the District. Such appraisal values are subject to review and change by the Denton County Appraisal Review Board (the "Appraisal Review Board). The appraisal roll as approved by the Appraisal Review Board must be used by the District in establishing its tax roll and tax rate. &gg& Except for certain exemptions provided by Texas law, all property with a tax situs in the District is subject to taxation by the District; however, no effort is made by the District to collect taxes on tangible or intangible personal property not devoted to commercial or industrial use. Principal categories of exempt property include: property owned by the State of Texas or its political subdivisions if the property is used for public purposes; property exempt from ad valorem taxation by federal law: certain non-profit cemeteries; farm products owned by the producer; and certain property owned by charitable, religious, scientific, literary, student housing, veterans, youth, development or fraternal organizations. Goods, wares, ores and merchandise (other than oil, gas or petroleum products) that are acquired in or imported into the state and forwarded out of state within 175 days thereafter are also exempt. Property owned by a disabled veteran or by the spouse or certain children of a deceased disabled veteran or a veteran who died while on active duty has been granted an exemption from $5.000 up to $12,000 of assessed value. The District does grant a Freeport Property exemption, but at this time has no such property within its boundaries. Residentral Homesteaa Exem~tiorrs: The Board may exempt up ro 20% of the marfie! value of resioent:~. homesteaos from ad valorem taxalion. S~ch exemption woulo be in additon to any otner appl'caoe exemptlons provided oy an. However. 11 ad valorem taxes have been pledged for the payment-of debt, then the 6oardmay continue tolevy and collecttaxes against the exempted value of the homesteads until the debt is discharged if the cessation of the levy would impair the obligation of the contract by which the debt was created. The board does not grant this exemption Also exempt, if approved by the Board or through a process of petition and referendum by the District's voters, are residential homesteads of certain persons who are disabled or at least 65 years old, to the extent of $3,000 of appraised value or more. The District is authorized by statute to disregard such exemptions for the elderly and disabled if granting the exemptions would impair the District's obligation to pay tax supported debt incurred prior to adoption of the exemptions by the District. The Board has granted such elderly and disabled exemptions in the amount of $25,000 of assessed valuation. Tax Abatement: Denton County or the Town of Trophy Club may designate all or part of the area within the District as a reinvestment zone. Thereafter, the District may enter into tax abatement agreements with owners of real property within the District for up to ten (10) years, all or any part of any increase in the assessed valuation of property covered by the agreement over its assessed valuation in the year In which the agreement is executed, on the condition that the property owner make specified improvements or repairs to the property in conformity with a comprehensive plan. None of the area within the District has been designated as a reinvestment zone to date and the District does not expect any area within the District to be so designated in the foreseeable future. Valuation of Property for Taxation Generally, all taxable property in the District must be appraised by the Denton County Appraisal District at one hundred percent (100%) of market value as of January 1 of each year, subject to review and approval by the Appraisal Review Board. In determining market value, either for replacement cost or the market data method of valuation may be used, whichever is appropriate. Certain land may be appraised at less than market value under the Property Tax Code. Increases in the appraised value of residence homesteads are limited to 10 percent annually regardless of the market value of the property. Upon application of a landowner, land which qualifies as "open-space land" is appraised based on the category of land, using accepted income capitalization methods applied to the average net income derived from the use of the land for agriculture and hunting or recreational leases. Upon application of a landowner, land which qualifies as "timber land is appraised using accepted income capitalization methods applied to the average net income derived from the use of the land for production of timber. Land which qualifies as an aesthetic management zone, critical wildlife management zone, or streamside management zone or is being regenerated for timber production for 10 years after harvest is valued at one-half that amount. In the case of both open space and timber land valuations, if the use of land changes, an additional tax is generally imposed on the land equal to the difference between the taxes imposed on the land for each of the five (5) years preceding the year in which the change of use occurs and the tax that would have been imposed had the land been taxed on the basis of market value in each of those years, plus interest at an annual rate of seven percent (7%) calculated from the dates on which the differences would have become due. There are also special appraisal methods for agricultural land owned by individuals whose primary occupation and income are farming and for recreational, park, and scenic land. Also, houses or lots held for sale by a developer or builder which remain unoccupied, are not leased or rented and produce no income are required to be assessed at the price for which they would sell as a unit to a purchaser who would continue the owner's business, upon application of the owner. Once an appraisal roll is prepared and approved by the Appraisal Review Board, it is used by the District in establishing its tax rate. The Property Tax Code requires the Appraisal District to implement a plan for periodic reappraisal of property to update appraised values. The plan must provide for appraisal of all real property in the Appraisal District at least one every three (3) years. It is not know what frequency of reappraisal will be utilized by the Appraisal District or whether reappraisals will be conducted on a zone or countywide basis. District and Taxpayer Remedies The chief appraiser must give written notice before the Appraisal Review Board meeting to an affected owner if a reappraisal has resulted in an increase in value over the prior year or the value rendered by the owner, or if property not previously included on the appraisal roll has been appraised. Any owner who has timely filed notice with the Appraisal Review Board may appeal the final determination by the Appraisal Review Board of the owner's protest by filing suit in Texas district court. Prior to such appeal, however, the owner must pay the tax due on the amount of value of the property involved that is not in dispute or the amount of tax paid in the prior year, whichever is greater, but not to exceed the amount of tax due under the order from which the appeal is taken. In the event of such suit, the value of the property is determined by the court, or a jury if requested by any party. Additionally, the District is entitled to challenge certain matters before the Appraisal Review Board, including the level of appraisal of certain category of property, the exclusion of property from the appraisal records, or the grant in whole or in part of a partial exemption, or a determination that land qualifies for a special use appraisal (agricultural or timber classification, for example). The District may not, however, protest a valuation of individual properly. Levy of Taxes The rate of taxation is set by the Board based upon the valuation of property within the District as of the preceding January 1 and the amount required to be raised for debt service, maintenance purposes, and authorized contractual obligations. Unless the Board, or the qualified voters of the District or of Denton County at an election held for such purpose, determines to transfer the collection of taxes to the DCAD or another taxing unit, the District is responsible for the levy and collection of its taxes. Collection of Taxes Taxes are due on receipt of the tax bill and become delinquent after January 31 of the following year. However, a person over 65 is entitled by law to pay current taxes on his residential homestead in installments or to defer taxes without penalty during the time he owns and occupies the properly as his residential homestead. The date of the delinquency may be postponed if the tax bills are mailed after January 10 of any year. Delinquent taxes are subject to a 6% penalty for the first month of delinquency, one percent (1%) for each month thereafter to July 1, and 12% total if any taxes are unpaid on July 1. Delinquent taxes also accrue interest at the rate of 1% per month during the period they remain outstanding. In addition, where a district engages an attorney for collection of delinquent taxes, the Board may impose a further penalty not to exceed fifteen percent 15% on all taxes unpaid on July 1 in lieu of recovering attorney's fees. The District may be prohibited from collection of penalties and interest on real property owned by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation. In prior years the District has engaged a delinquent tax attorney and imposed such a penalty. District's Rights in the Event of Tax Delinquencies Taxes levied by the District are a personal obligation of the owner of the property on January 1 of the year for which the tax is imposed. On January 1 of each year, a tax iien attaches to property to secure the payment of all state and local taxes, penalties, and interest ultimately imposed for the year on the property. The lien exists in favor of the State of Texas and each local taxing unit, including the District, having power to tax the property. The District's tax lien is on a parity with tax liens of such other taxing units. A tax iien on real property takes priority over the claim of most creditors and other holders of liens on the property encumbered by the tax lien, whether or not the debt or iien existed before the attachment of the tax lien: however, whether a lien of the United States is on a parity with or takes priority over a tax lien of the District is determined by applicable federal law. Personal property under certain circumstances is subject to seizure and sale for the payment of delinquent taxes, penalty, and interest. At any time after taxes on property become delinquent, the District may file suit to foreclose the lien securing payment of the tax, to enforce personal liability for the tax, or both. In filing a suit to foreclose a tax lien on real property, the District must join other taxing units that have claims for delinquent taxes against all or part of the same property. Collection of delinquent taxes may be adversely affected by the amount of taxes owed to other taxing units, by the effects of market conditions on the foreclosure sale price, by taxpayer redemption rights (a taxpayer may redeem properly within two years after the purchaser's deed issued at the foreclosure sale is filed in the county records) or by bankruptcy proceedings which restrict the collection of taxpayer debts. See "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - General -Tax Collections and Foreclosure Remedies."

In rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel will rely upon (a) certain information and representations of the District, including information and representations contained in the District's federal tax certificate, and (b) covenants of the District contained in the Bond Order relating to certain matters, including arbitrage and the use of the proceeds of the Bonds and the property financed or refinanced therewith. Although it is expected that the Bonds will qualify as tax-exempt the status of the Bonds could be affected by future events. However, future events beyond the control of the District, as well as the failure to obsewe the aforementioned representations or covenants, could cause the interest on the Bonds to become taxable retroactively to the date of issuance. Bond Counsel's opinion represents its legal judgment based upon its review of Existing Law and the reliance on the aforementioned information, representations and Covenants. Bond Counsel's opinion is not a guarantee of a result. The Existing Law is subject to change by the Congress and to subsequent judicial and administrative interpretation by the courts and the Department of the Treasury. There can be no assurance that such Existing Law or the interpretation thereof will not be changed in a manner, which would adversely affect the tax treatment of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds. A Ruling was not sought from the lnternal Revenue Service by the District with respect to the bonds or property financed with the proceeds of the Bonds. No assurances can be given as to whether or not the lnternal Revenue Service will commence an audit of the Bonds, or as to whether the Internal Revenue Service would agree with the opinion of Bond Counsel. lf an audit is : commenced, under current procedures the Internal Revenue Service is likely to treat the District as the taxpayer and the Bondholders may have no right to participate in such procedure. No additional interest will be paid upon any determination of : taxability. Federal Income Tax Accounting Treatment of Original lssue Discount The initial public offering price to be paid for one or more maturities of the Bonds (the "Original lssue Dlscount Bonds") may be less than the principal amount thereof or one or more periods for the payment of interest on the Bonds may not be equal to the accrual period or be in excess of one year. In such event, the difference between (i) "stated redemption price at maturity" of each Original lssue Discount Bond, and (ii) the initial offering price to the public of such Original lssue Dlscount Bond would constitute original issue discount. The "stated redemption price at maturity" means the sum of all payments to be made on the Bonds less the amount of all periodic interest payments. Periodic interest payments are payments which are made during equal accrual periods (or during any unequal period if it is the initial or final period) and which are made during accrual periods which do not exceed one year. Under Existing Law, any owner who has purchased such Original lssue Discount Bond in the initial public offering Is entitled to exclude from gross income (as defined In section 61 of the Code) an amount of income with respect to such Original lssue Discount Bond equal to that portion of the amount of such original issue discount allocable to the accrual period. For a discussion of certain collateral federal tax consequences, see discussion set forth below. In the event of the redemption, sale or other taxable disposition of such Original lssue Discount Bond prior to stated maturity. however, the amount realized by such owner in excess of the basis of such Original lssue Discount Bond in the hands of such owner (adjusted upward by the portion of the original issue discount allocable to the period for which such Original lssue Discount Bond was held by such initial owner) is includable in gross income Under Existing Law, the original issue discount on each Original lssue Discount Bond is accrued dally to the stated maturity thereof (in amounts calculated as described below for each six-month period ending on the date before the semiannual anniversary dates of the date of the Bond and ratably within each such six-month period) and the accrued amount is added to an initial owner's basis for such Original lssue Dlscount Bond for purposes of determining the amount of gain or loss recognized by such owner upon the redemption, sale or other disposltion thereof. The amount to be added to basis for each accrual period is equal to (I) the sum of the issue price and the amount of original issue discount accrued in prior periods multiplied by the yield to stated maturity (determined on the basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of the accrual period) less (li) the amounts payable as current interest during such accrual period on such Bond. The federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, redemption, sale or other disposition of Original lssue Discount Bonds which are not purchased In the initial offering at the initial offering price may be determined according to rules which differ from those described above. All owners of Original lssue Discount Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the determination for federal, state and local income tax purposes of the treatment of interest accrued upon redemption, sale or other disposition of such Original lssue Discount Bonds and with respect to the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, redemption, sale or other disposition of such Original lssue Discount Bonds. Collateral Federal lncome Tax Consequences The following discusslon is a summary of certain collateral federal income tax consequences resulting from the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds. This discusslon is based on existing statutes, regulations, published rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change or modification, retroactively. The following discussion is applicable to investors, other than those who are subject to special provisions of the Code, such as financial institutions, property and casualty insurance companies, life insurance companies, owners of an interest in a FASIT. individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, individuals allowed an earned lncome credit, certain S corporations with Subchapter C earnings and profits and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase tax-exempt obligations. THE DISCUSSION CONTAINED HEREIN MAY NOT BE EXHAUSTIVE. INVESTORS, INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE SUBJECT TO SPECIAL PROVISIONS OF THE CODE, SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX TREATMENT WHICH MAY BE ANTICIPATED TO RESULT FROM THE PURCHASE. OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF interest on the Bonds will be includable as an adjustment for "adjusted earnings and profits" to calculate the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations by section 55 of the Code. Section 55 of the Code imposes a tax equal to 20 percent for corporations, or 26 percent for non-corporate taxpayers (28 percent for taxable excess exceeding $175,000), of the taxpayer's "alternative minimum taxable income." if the amount of such alternative minimum tax is greater than the taxpayer's regular income tax for the taxable year. lnterest on the Bonds may be subject to the "branch profits tax" imposed by Section 884 of the Code on the effectively- connected earnings and profits of a foreign corporation doing business in the United States. Under Section 6012 of the Code, holders of tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds, may be required to disclose interest received or accrued during each taxable year on their returns of federal income taxation. Section 1276 of the Code provides for ordinary income tax treatment of gain recognized upon the disposition of a tax-exempt obligation, such as the Bonds, if such obligation was acquired at a "market discount" and if the fixed maturity of such obligation is equal to, or exceeds, one year from the date of issue. Such treatment applies to "market discount bonds" to the extent such gain does not exceed the accrued market discount of such obligations. A "market discount bond" is one which is acquired by the holder at a purchase price which is less than the stated redemption price or, in the case of an obligation issued at an original issue discount, the "revised issue price" (i.e., a market discount). The "accrued market discount" is the amount which bears the same ratio to the market discount as the number of days during which the holder holds the obligation bears to the number of days between the acquisition date and the final maturity date. State, Local and Foreign Taxes lnvestors should consult thelr own tax advisors concerntng the tax implications of the purchase, ownership or dtsposlt~on of the Bonds under appltcable state or local laws. Foreign Investors should also consult thelr own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences unique to investors who are not United States persons. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations for Financial institutions Section 265(a) of the Code provides, in pertinent part, that interest paid or incurred by a taxpayer, including a "financial Institution," on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations is not deductible by such taxpayer in determining taxable income. Section 265(b) of the Code provides an exception to the disallowance of such deduction for any lnterest expense paid or incurred on Indebtedness of a taxpayer which is a Vnancial institution" allocable to tax-exempt obligations, other than "private activity bonds," which are designated by an "qualified small issuer" as "qualified tax- exempt obligations." A "qualified small issuer" is any governmental issuer (together with any subordinate issuers) who issues no more than $10,000,000 of tax-exempt obligations during the calendar year. Section 265(b)(5) of the Code defines the term "financial institution" as referring to any corporation described in section 585(a)(2) of the Code, or any person accepting deposits from the public in the ordinary course of such person's trade or business which is subject to federal or state supervision as a financial institution. The District has designated the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of section 265(b) of the Code. In furtherance of that designation, the District will covenant to take such action which would assure or to refrain from such action which would adversely affect the treatment of the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations." Potential purchasers should be aware that If the Issue price to the public (or, in the case of discount bonds, the amount payable at maturity) exceeds $10,000,000, then such obligations might fail to satisfy the $10,000,000 limitation and the obligations would not be "qualified tax-exempt obllgations." CONTINUING DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION The offering of the Bonds qualifies for an exemption from Rule 15~2-I2 (the "Rule") of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the District's continuing disclosure obllgations because the District has less than $10,000,000 in aggregate amount of outstanding obligations and no person other than the District is committed by contract or other arrangement with respect to the payment of the Bonds. In accordance with such exemption, the District in the Bond Order has made the following agreement for the benefit of the holders and beneficial owners of the Bonds. The Issuer is required to observe the agreement for so long as it remains obligated to advance funds to pay the Bonds. Under the agreement, the lssuer will be obligated to provided certain updated financial information and operating data annually, and timely notice of specified material events, to certain information vendors.

TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTlUN DISTRICT NO. 2 NOTES TO GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIALSTATEMENTS September 30.2002 I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A Reporting Entity Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 2 (the District) was created from the combination of two predecessor districts. These predecessor districts were the Oenton County Municipal Utility District No. 2 and No. 3 (D C MUDs). The D c MUDS were created by an order of the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission (TCEQ) (formerly the Texas Water Commission) on May 20, 1980 and October 9, 1979, respectively, and confirmed by the electorate of the D C MUDS in elections held on August 9, 1960. The Board of Directors of the D C MUDs held their first meetings on March 12 and July 17, 1980, respectively. The first bonds were sold on December 1, and December 7, 1988, respectively. The District operates pursuant to Article XVI. Chapter 59 of the Texas Constitution and Chapter 54 of the Texas Water Code, as amended. During 1980. Denton County Municipal Utility District No. 2 and No. 3 entered into an agreement combining the two districts into a single district. The electorate of both D C MUDS affirmed the combination in an election held May 5. 1990. The new combined entity is the Dlstrict. The combination was completed August 3. 1990, and all transactions after August 3, 1990 are deemed to be transactions of the District The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for the District. The financial statements of the Dstrict have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to government units. For financial reporting purposes, management has considered all potential component units. The decision to include a potential component unlt In the reporting entity was made by applying the criteria set forth in GAAP. The criteria used are as follows: Financial Accountability - The primary government is deemed to be financially accountable if it appoints a voting majority of the organization's governing body and (1 ) it is able to impose its will on that organization or (2) there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on, the primary government. Additionally, the primary government may be financially accountable A an organization is fiscally dependent on the primary government regardless of whether the organization has a separately elected governing board, a governing board appointed by a higher level of government or a jointly appointed board. Accordingly, the District has no potential component units which meet this definaion. Trophv Club Master District Joint Venture Trophy Club Municipal Utillty Dlstrict No. 1 holds legal title to the central water supply system and the central waste disposal system. The proporttonate allocation of costs and related kneficial usage rlghts in the major assets is estimated as follows: The (A) Future Water plant and wells Twenty-one inch water line Elevated tank Original treatment plant and land First expanded treatment plant Second expanded treatment plant Administration building District MUD 1 Development 27.14% 40.91 % 31.95% (A) The developer's original intent was for five districts. (8) The District does not acknowledge any portion of the cost of the administration building as being its responsibility. rsuant to the provisions of ihe New Master District Contract dated October 4, 2000, the Master District is managed as oint venture of the District and MUD1 whereby representatives of the boards of directors of the District and MUD1 rve on the Master District board of directors. Accordingly the financial statements of the Master District have been oved from those of MUD1 efiective October 1. 2000 and are presented separately. Agreements exist between the TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPALUIUTY DISTRICT NO. 2 NOTES TO GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIALSTATEMENTS Seplember 30.2002 District and MUDl that compensate MUDl for water and sewer plant capacity and out of district sales as approved and required by the TCEQ. Based upon this arrangement, all financial transactions relating to water and sewer operations are included in the financial statements of the Master District joint venture.

The Town of Trophy Club, Texas assumed responsibility for police and emergency medical services: MUDl assumed responsibilities for fire protection. B. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation The accounts of the District are organized and operated on the basis of funds and account groups. A fund 6 an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Fund accounting segregates funds according to their intended purpose and is wed to aid management In demonstrating compliance with finance- related legal and contractual provisions. The minimum number of funds are maintained consistent with legal and managerial requirements. Account groups are a reporting device to account for certain assets and liabilities of the governmental funds not recorded directly in those funds. The District utilizes governmental fund types to account for the Districrs activities and to prepare its financial statements. Governmental fund types use the flow of current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they are "measurable and available'). "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible wkhin the current period or soon enough therea~er to pay liabilities of the current period. The District considers all revenues available if they are collected within 60 days after year end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for unmatured interest on general long-term debt which is recognized when due, and certain compensated absences and claims and judgments which are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources. Those revenues susceptible to accrual are ad valorem taxes, interest revenue and charges for services. Penalties and interest on property taxes and miscellaneous revenue are recorded when received, as they are generally not measurable until received. The District reports deferred revenue on its combined balance sheet. Deferred revenues arise when a potential revenue does not meet both the "measurable" and "avaiiable" criteria for recognition in the current period. TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL rnlUTY DISTRICT NO. 2 NOTES50 GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIALSTATEMENTS September 30,2002 Governmental funds include the following fund types: The general fund is the District's primary operating fund.
