Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business InfraREIT, Inc. is a Maryland corporation and the surviving corporation of a merger (Merger) with InfraREIT, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, completed on February 4, 2015 in connection with the initial public offering (IPO) of InfraREIT, Inc. As used in these financial statements, unless the context requires otherwise or except as otherwise noted, the words “Company” and “InfraREIT” refer to InfraREIT, L.L.C., before giving effect to the Merger, and InfraREIT, Inc., after giving effect to the Merger, as the context requires, and also refer to the registrant’s subsidiaries, including InfraREIT Partners, LP (Operating Partnership or InfraREIT LP), a Delaware limited partnership. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, which means for accounting purposes the Company treated the assets and liabilities of InfraREIT, Inc. as assumed and incorporated with the assets and liabilities of InfraREIT, L.L.C. The main assets and liabilities assumed were marketable securities of $1.1 million and a note payable of $1.0 million. The marketable securities were sold during February 2015 for $1.1 million resulting in a realized gain of $0.1 million which was recorded in other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, the note payable and associated interest were paid in full in February 2015. Before the IPO, substantially all of the Company’s business and assets were owned, directly or indirectly, by InfraREIT, L.L.C. InfraREIT, L.L.C. was organized on November 23, 2010 as a Delaware limited liability company that elected and qualified under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes. InfraREIT, L.L.C. was the general partner of the Operating Partnership prior to the Merger and held a controlling financial investment in InfraREIT LP. After the Merger, InfraREIT, Inc. became the general partner of the Operating Partnership. InfraREIT, Inc. will elect to be taxed as a REIT commencing with the taxable year ending December 31, 2015. InfraREIT, Inc.’s operating results before the Merger primarily reflected costs related to obtaining a private letter ruling from the IRS and accounting services. As a result, these financial statements present the operating results of InfraREIT, L.L.C. for years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the InfraREIT, L.L.C. balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. The operating results for the year ended December 31, 2015 reflect the operations of InfraREIT, L.L.C. prior to the effectiveness of the Merger, and the operations of InfraREIT, Inc. for the period from the Merger through December 31, 2015, and the balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 is the balance sheet of InfraREIT, Inc.

Previously, SDTS held some of its assets through its former wholly owned subsidiaries, SDTS FERC, L.L.C. (SDTS FERC) and Sharyland Projects, L.L.C. (SPLLC). However in June 2015, SDTS FERC were merged with and into SDTS with SDTS as the surviving entity, and in December 2015, SPLLC was merged with and into SDTS with SDTS as the surviving entity (SDTS Merger).

Principles of Consolidation and Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and the accounts of all other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest with noncontrolling interest of consolidated subsidiaries reported separately. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. SDTS maintains (and prior to their merger with and into SDTS, SDTS FERC and SPLLC also maintained) accounting records in accordance with the uniform system of accounts, as prescribed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). In accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance, the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect the effects of the different rate making principles mandated by the FERC and the PUCT which regulate its subsidiaries’ operations. The Company and Hunt Manager are parties to a management agreement under which Hunt Manager provides certain services to the Company for a management fee. Historically, the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included all costs incurred on the Company’s behalf by Hunt Manager, including compensation expenses, rent expense and other costs included in general and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations totaling $11.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. On June 24, 2014, the Company’s board of directors agreed to increase the annual management fee from $2.5 million to $10.0 million effective January 1, 2014. As a result, the Company’s general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 do not include costs incurred by Hunt Manager during those periods, but do include management fees paid to Hunt Manager as well as additional costs the Company incurred directly, such as professional services costs and direct reimbursement of third-party costs paid to outside service providers. As a result of the increased management fee, the Company, through its subsidiary InfraREIT LP, incurred costs associated with management fees of $12.3 million and $10.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The accompanying historical consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals), considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The historical financial information is not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Regulation For regulatory purposes, including regulatory reporting, the T&D assets owned by SDTS and the operations of Sharyland are viewed on a combined basis. As a result, regulatory principles applicable to the utility industry also apply to SDTS (and previously applied to its former subsidiaries). The financial statements reflect regulatory assets and liabilities under cost based rate regulation in accordance with accounting standards related to the effect of certain types of regulation. Regulatory decisions can have an impact on the recovery of costs, the rate earned on invested capital and the timing and amount of assets to be recovered by rates. See Note 7, Other Assets SDTS capitalizes allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) during the construction of its T&D assets, and SDTS lease agreements with Sharyland rely on FERC definitions and accepted standards regarding capitalization of expense to define key terms in the lease such as footprint projects, which are the amounts SDTS is obligated to fund pursuant to the leases. The amounts funded for these footprint projects include allocations of Sharyland employees’ time and overhead allocations consistent with FERC policies and U.S. GAAP. Sharyland cannot be removed as lessee without prior approval from the PUCT. SDTS transacts with its tenant through several lease arrangements covering the T&D assets. These lease agreements include provisions for annual additions and retirements of the T&D assets in the form of new construction or other capitalized projects. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s account balances at one or more institutions periodically exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance coverage and, as a result, there could be a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company has not experienced any losses and believes that the risk is not significant. Restricted Cash Restricted cash represents the principal and interest payable for two consecutive periods associated with the $25.0 million senior secured notes described in Note 9, Long-Term Debt Inventory Inventory consists primarily of transmission parts and materials used in the construction of electric plant. Inventory is valued at average cost when it is acquired and used. Assets Held for Sale The Company records assets held for sale when certain criteria have been met as specified by Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment Electric Plant, net Electric plant equipment is stated at the original cost of acquisition or construction, which includes the cost of contracted services, direct labor, materials, acquisition adjustments, and overhead items. In accordance with the FERC uniform system of accounts guidance, SDTS recognizes as a cost to construction work in progress (CWIP) AFUDC on other funds classified as other income, net and AFUDC on borrowed funds classified as a reduction of the interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The AFUDC blended rate utilized was 6.6%, 4.1% and 9.1% for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Electric plant held for future use is included in electric plant, net. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated service lives of the properties based on depreciation rates approved by the PUCT. Depreciation rates include plant removal costs as a component of depreciation expense, consistent with regulatory treatment. Actual removal costs incurred are charged to accumulated depreciation. When accrued removal costs exceed incurred removal costs, the difference is reclassified as a regulatory liability to retire assets in the future. The regulatory liability will be relieved as cost of removal charges are incurred upon asset retirement. Repairs are the responsibility of Sharyland as the lessee under the lease agreements. Betterments and improvements generally are the responsibility of SDTS and are capitalized. Provision for depreciation of electric plant is computed using composite straight-line rates as follows: Years Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 Transmission plant 1.69% - 1.69% - 2.57% - Distribution plant 1.74% - 1.74% - 2.50% - General plant 0.80% - 0.80% - 2.50% - Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates impairment of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable through expected future cash flows. Regulatory assets are charged to expense in the period in which they are no longer probable of future recovery. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of costs of an acquired business over the fair value of the assets acquired, less liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances arise. Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2011-08, Testing of Goodwill for Impairment The Company’s annual goodwill impairment analysis, which was performed qualitatively during the fourth quarter of 2015, did not result in an impairment charge. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, $138.4 million was recorded as goodwill on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Investments An investment is considered impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its cost. Generally, an impairment is considered other-than-temporary unless (1) the Company has the ability and intent to hold an investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for an anticipated recovery of fair value up to (or beyond) the cost of the investment; and (2) evidence indicating that the cost of the investment is recoverable within a reasonable period of time outweighs evidence to the contrary. If impairment is determined to be other than temporary, then an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value. Deferred Financing Costs Amortization of deferred financing costs associated with the issuance of the $25.0 million senior secured notes and the revolving credit facilities is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the loan which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization of deferred financing costs associated with the Company’s regulated subsidiaries is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the loan in accordance with the applicable regulatory guidance. Derivative Instruments The Company uses derivatives to hedge against changes in cash flows related to interest rate risk (cash flow hedging instrument). ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging Unrealized gains and losses on the effective cash flow hedging instrument are recorded as components of accumulated other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses on the cash flow hedging instrument are recorded as adjustments to interest expense. Settlements of derivatives are included within operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Any ineffectiveness in the cash flow hedging instrument is recorded as an adjustment to interest expense in the current period. Income Taxes InfraREIT, L.L.C. elected to be treated as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2010, and InfraREIT, Inc. will elect to be treated as a REIT commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2015. As a result, the Company generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax on its taxable income that is distributed to its stockholders. A REIT is subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its annual taxable income (with certain adjustments). The Company’s policy is to distribute at least 100% of its taxable income. Accordingly, there is no provision for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Even if the Company maintains its qualification for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, including excise taxes, and federal income taxes on any undistributed income. At December 31, 2014, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $1.0 million. Of this amount $0.2 million was used for the year ended December 31, 2015 to offset an equivalent amount of regular taxable earnings. The net operating loss carryforward for federal tax purposes was $0.8 million at December 31, 2015 and will expire in 2026. The net operating loss carryforwards for alternative minimum tax (AMT) are generally limited to offsetting 90% of the alternative minimum taxable income (AMTI) for a given year. The Company recognizes the impact of tax return positions that are more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit. Significant judgment is required to evaluate uncertain tax positions. The evaluation of uncertain tax positions is based upon a number of factors, including changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, correspondence with tax authorities during the course of audits and effective settlement of audit issues. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits follows: Years Ended December 31, (In thousands) 2015 2014 Balance at January 1 $ 2,135 $ 1,238 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 789 897 Balance at December 31 $ 2,924 $ 2,135 The balance of unrecognized tax benefits relates to state taxes, all of which would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change within the next twelve months. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized interest and penalties of $0.2 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The Company had accrued interest and penalties of $0.4 million and $0.2 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2012. Revenue Recognition The Company, through its subsidiaries, is the owner of the T&D assets and recognizes lease revenue over the term of lease agreements with Sharyland. The Company’s lease revenue includes annual payments and additional rents based upon a percentage of revenue earned by Sharyland on the leased assets in excess of annual specified breakpoints. In accordance with the lease agreements, Sharyland, the lessee and operator of the T&D assets, is responsible for the maintenance and operation of the T&D assets and for compliance with all regulatory requirements of the PUCT, the FERC or any other regulatory entity with jurisdiction over the T&D assets. Each of the lease agreements with Sharyland is a net lease that obligates the lessee to pay all property related expenses, including maintenance, repairs, taxes and insurance, and to comply with the terms of the SDTS secured credit facilities and note purchase agreements. The Company recognizes base rent under these leases on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term. The lease agreements provide for periodic supplemental adjustments of base rent based upon capital expenditures made by SDTS. The Company recognizes supplemental adjustments of base rent as a modification under these leases on a prospective straight-line basis over the applicable lease term. The Company recognizes percentage rent under these leases once the revenue earned by Sharyland on the leased assets exceeds the annual specified breakpoints. Asset Retirement Obligations The Company has identified, but not recognized, asset retirement obligation liabilities related to the T&D assets, as a result of certain easements on property on which the Company has assets. Generally, such easements are perpetual and require only the retirement and removal of the assets upon cessation of the property’s use. Management has not estimated and recorded a retirement liability for such easements because the Company plans to use the facilities indefinitely. Interest Expense, net The Company’s interest expense, net primarily consists of interest expense from the senior notes and credit facilities, see Note 8, Borrowings Under Credit Facilities Long-Term Debt Other Income, net AFUDC on other funds of $3.0 million, $1.1 million and $21.7 million was recognized in other income, net during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes net income and other comprehensive income, which consists of unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments. The Company records deferred hedge gains and losses on its derivative financial instruments that qualify as cash flow hedging instruments as other comprehensive income. Fair Value of Financial Instruments ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 — Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs that are observable other than quoted prices for the asset or the liability; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
