INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Texas Student Housing Authority
Westlake, Texas
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Texas Student Housing Authority (the
"Authority") (a component unit ofthe Town ofWestlake), as of and for the year ended August 31,2009,
which collectively comprise the Authority's basic financial statements, as listed in the table of contents.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Authority's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position ofthe Texas Student Housing Authority as of August 31, 2009, and the respective
changes in its financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The management's discussion and analysis on pages 2 through 3 is not a required part of the
basic financial statements but is supplemental information required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted
principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the
required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion
on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the Authority's basic financial statements. The accompanying supplemental
information on page 11 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the
basic financial statements. The supplemental information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As staff of the Texas Student Housing Authority (the "Authority"), we offer the readers of the
Authority's financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the
Authority for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009. We encourage readers to consider the information
presented herein in conjunction with the Authority's financial statements. The Authority is a component
unit of the Town of Westlake and is considered a governmental entity; accordingly, the Authority has
adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 34, Basic Financial Statements-and
Management's Discussion and Analysis-for State and Local Governments has been implemented. The
reader should note that this financial report addresses only the financial condition of the Authority itself.
Properties managed by the Authority are reported individually by property under separate cover.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

$468,180, an increase of $130,304 over the prior fiscal year. All of the assets and
liabilities of the Authority are classified as current.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, the total cash balances were $456,144, an
increase of $62,880 over the prior fiscal year.
• All revenues are generated from management of the properties and scholarship
activity of the authority and totaled $1,243,615. Total expenses incurred were

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Authority's basic financial
statements. The Authority's report consists of three parts, Management's Discussion and Analysis, the
basic financial statements, and notes to financial statements. The basic financial statements include a
statement of net assets, statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net assets, a statement of cash
flows and supplemental schedules.
The statement of net assets presents information on the Authority's assets and liabilities with the
difference between the two reported as net assets.
The statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net assets accounts for all of the Authority's
revenues and expenses regardless of when cash is paid or received.

increased scholarships at our overflow facility in College Station.

TEXAS STUDENT HOUSING AUTHORITY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2009
I. GENERALSTATEMENT
Texas Student Housing Authority (the "Authority"), a higher education authority, was established
on January 23, 1995, as a duly constituted authority of the Town of Westlake (the "Town"), Texas,
pursuant to Section 53.11 of Chapter 53 of the Texas Education Code, as amended. The
Authority's purpose among other things is to acquire, finance, and operate student housing
facilities and to provide scholarships to students from high schools and community colleges in
Texas. The Authority operates several student housing projects in Texas. The accompanying
financial statements do not present the projects, but the scholarship administration of the Authority.
II. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the Authority's significant accounting policies consistently applied in the
preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:
A. Reporting Entity
For financial reporting purposes, management has considered all potential component units.
The decision to include a potential component unit in the reporting entity was made by
applying the criteria set forth in GASB Statement No. 14 as amended by GASB Statement
No. 39. The criteria used is as follows:
Financial Accountahilitv -The primary government is deemed to be financially
accountable if it appoints a voting majority of the organization's governing body and
1) 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 if an organization is fiscally dependent on the primary
government regardless of whether the organization has a separately elected
governing board appointed by a higher level of government or a jointly appointed
board.

II. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
B. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
Measurement focus refers to what is being measured; basis of accounting refers to when
revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial
statements. The Authority uses the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual
basis of accounting. The economic resources measurement focus means all assets and
liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) are included on the statement of net assets and the
operating statement present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in net total assets
under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned, and expenses
are recognized at the time the liability is incurred.
In applying the requirements of GASB Statement No. 20, the Authority has chosen to apply
all applicable GASB pronouncements as well as Financial Accounting Standards board
pronouncements issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless those pronouncements
conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements.
C. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity
Income Taxes
The Authority is an instrumentality of the Town and, therefore, its income is not subject to
federal income taxation pursuant to Section 115 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Authority considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less
when purchased to be cash equivalents. At August 31, 2009, the Authority had no such
investments included in cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at amounts management expects to collect from outstanding
balances. At year-end, management assesses the accounts receivable balance and establishes
a valuation allowance based on historical experience and an evaluation of the outstanding
balances. As of August 31, 2009, management has determined that all accounts doubtful of
collection have been charged to operations and an allowance is not required.
Capital Assets
Texas Student Housing Authority utilizes space within the Town of Westlake offices and
does not have capital assets at this time.

III. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS
A. Cash and Investments
The Public Funds Investment Act (Government Code Chapter 2256) contains specific
provisions in the areas of investment practices, management reports and establishment of
appropriate policies relating to a governmental entity's cash and investments.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair
value of an instrument. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the
sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. Texas Student Housing
Authority is not significantly exposed to interest rate risk as all investments earn a variable rate.
Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to
the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization. The Public Funds Investment Act has a minimum
rating that is required for investments. Texas Student Housing Authority holds all of its cash
and investments with commercial banks.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Texas Student Housing Authority holds no investments at August 31, 2009, and is not
exposed to concentration of credit risk.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository
financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able
to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial
credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a
transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral
securities that are in the possession of another party. The Public Funds Investment Act does
not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk
for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The Public
Funds Investment Act requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or
local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a
depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The
market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least the bank
balances less FDIC insurance at all times.
As of August 31, 2009, the Authority's cash balances totaled $456,144 (bank balance of
$475,356). Of the bank balance, $250,000 was covered by federal depository insurance
while the remaining amount was collateralized by a Bank Deposit Guarantee Bond from the
Authority's depository in the amount of$225,356.

At August 31, 2009, the Authority has no restricted net assets or capital assets.
All net assets are unrestricted.
C. Concentrations
The Authority services scholarships for Texas students attending Texas higher education
facilities and is dependent upon the geographic areas and the higher education facilities in
Texas.
D. Related Party Transactions
The Town of Westlake charges an oversight fee to the Authority. The fee of $0 is included
in expenses at August 31,2009. The Authority also received revenues of$258,934 related to
its oversight of the various properties.
