INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Texas Student Housing Authority -Ballpark Austin Project
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the business type activities of
Texas Student Housing Authority-Ballpark Austin Project (the "Project"), as of and for the
year ended August 31, 2005, as listed in the table of contents. Texas Student Housing
Authority -Ballpark Austin Project is a component unit of The Town of Westlake. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Project 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 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.
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the Project and do not purport
to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of Texas Student Housing Authority as of
August 31, 2005, and the changes in its financial position and cash flows, where applicable,
for the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the business type activities of the Texas Student Housing
Authority-Ballpark Austin Project at August 31, 2005 and the results of its operations and
cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Management's discussion and analysis on pages 2 through 5 are not a required part of the
basic financial statements but are supplementary 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 business type activities of Texas Student Housing Authority -
Ballpark Austin Project's basic financial statements. The supplementary information on
pages 20 and 21 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part
of the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated
in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

As Staff ofthe Texas Student Housing Authority-Ballpark Austin Project (the "Ballpark") we
offer the readers of Ballpark's Financial Statements this narrative overview and analysis of the
financial activities of Ballpark for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005. We encourage readers
to consider the information presented herein in conjunction with Ballpark's financial statements
which follow this section. As the Authority is an instrumentality of the Town of Westlake and is
thus considered a governmental entity, Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 34,
Basic Financial Statements-and Management Discussion and Analysis-for State and Local
Governments (Statement 34) has been implemented. The reader should note that this financial
report addresses only the financial condition of Ballpark itself for 2005. The prior period
covered twenty months of activity and will not provide meaningful comparison to current year
activities. Comparative information will be presented when available.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Liabilities of the Ballpark Austin Project exceeded its Assets at the close of the fiscal year
by $6,192,401. Of this liability, a total of$1,956,483 is carried as a liability to JPI, the former
Management Company and management is of the opinion that pending a settlement with JPI,
that this liability may be forgiven.
The increase of $944,021 in liabilities from 2004 to 2005 can be mainly attributed to an increase
of$525,142 in Accrued Interest and $110,170 in Other Current Liabilities.
Operating Revenue of $3,163,733 is $17,163 better than budget; however Operating Expense is
$185,835 worse than budget not including depreciation and amortization thus effectively
negating the revenue overage. Major components of the expense overage were $84,914 in
Turnover Expense (painting, recarpeting, etc. rooms dnring student turnover); $26,087 in
Advertising, and $68,048 in General Administration expenses.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the total cash balances were $571,169 in unrestricted cash
and $3,000,448 in restricted cash.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

statements. Ballpark's report consists of three parts-Management Discussion and Analysis, the

For the Fiscal Year ending on August 31,2006, the total principal and interest payment is
calculated at $2,777,586. A total of$525,000 in principal was paid during 2005.
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
The Bond Indenture provides for a Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio of 1.25 when payments on the
A and B Bond Series are considered and 1.15 when payments on the C Bond Series are added.
At this time the Ballpark has only realized a ratio of0.43 and 0.25 respectively and is thus
technically in default of the Indenture.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET
Page 5
Leases at Ballpark are primarily 12 month leases, however due to competitive and market
conditions, a relatively minor number of I 0 month leases exist. These leases do bring a monthly
premium over the 12 month leases. Occupancy for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2006
indicates a substantial increase to 99%; however rental rates, again due to competitive pressures
will not see an increase.
Net Operating Revenue for this next year is projected at $1,897,273. This negative gap between
cash available for Debt Service and cash required for Debt service will result in the necessity to
invade both Series A and Series B Debt service Reserve Funds.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. GENERAL STATEMENT
Page 10
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,
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. The Authority operates several student housing facilities in Texas and
one of the housing projects is the Ballpark Austin Project (the "Project"). The Ballpark
Austin Project was purchased from Jefferson Commons -Austin, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership on December 27, 2001. The Project obtained its financing through the issuance
of Texas Student Housing Authority -Student Housing Revenue Bonds (Austin, Texas
Project), Series 2001A, Series 2001 B and Subordinate Series 2001 C (the "Bonds"). The
Bonds were issued through a Trust Indenture (the "Trust Indenture") by and between the
Authority and The Bank of New York (the "Trustee"). The Series 2001A, 2001B and
Subordinate Series 2001C bonds were issued in the face amounts of $34,175,000,
$2,470,000 and $3,000,000, respectively. The accompanying financial statements present
the operations of the one Project, whose revenue streams are pledged for the bonds
described herein.
The Project is managed and operated by Asset Campus Housing under the terms of a
Property Management and Leasing Agreement dated June 1, 2004. The property
management agreements are collectively referred to as the "Agreements".
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the Project's significant accounting policies consistently applied in the
preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:
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 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 if an organization is fiscally dependent

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-CONTINUTED
Reporting Entity-continued
Page 11
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.
Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The Project uses the economic resources measurement focus. This means that all
assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, and expenses are accounted for using the accrual
basis of accounting.
Revenue is recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when they are
incurred. In applying the requirements of GASB Statement No. 20, the Project 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.
Income Taxes
The Project 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 Project considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less
when purchased to be cash equivalents. At August 31, 2005, the Project had no such
investments included in cash and cash equivalents.
In addition, the Project has restricted cash of $3,000,448 that is held by the Trustee for
the Bonds payable under provisions of the Indenture. During the year ended August 31,
2005 the investment income received from cash was $157,043. See Note 3 for risk
disclosures and breakdown of restricted cash accounts.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at amounts management expects to collect from
outstanding balances. Management writes-off uncollectible amounts through a
reduction to revenue and a credit to accounts receivable based on its assessment of the
outstanding receivables. 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, 2005, management has
determined that all accounts doubtful of collection have been charged to operations and
an allowance is not required.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-CONTINUTED
Deferred Financing Costs
Page 12
Costs associated with the issuance of bonds are deferred and amortized over the terms
of the bonds.
Advertising Costs
All advertising costs are expensed as they are incurred. Advertising costs for the year
ending August 31, 2005 were approximately $92,000.
Capital Assets
Property and equipment have been recorded at the date of acquisition at cost. Routine
maintenance and repair costs to ready the units for the next period are expensed as
incurred.
Expenditures directly related to the improvement of property are capitalized at cost. The
Project capitalizes the cost of roof replacements and expenditures for other major
property improvements.
The Indenture (dated December 1, 2001) provides for a repair and replacement fund
requirement. The covenant states that no less frequently than every five years following
the date of issuance of the Bonds, the Project will cause a professional engineer or firm
of such engineers to conduct a physical assessment of the Project and to submit a
written report concerning the physical condition of the Project and the engineer's
recommendations for capital improvements needed at the Project.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
as follows:

The following is a brief description of the funds and accounts making up the restricted cash
balance at year end, as defined by the Trust Indenture:
Revenue Fund -The revenue fund was established for monthly deposits from the
depository account that holds general revenues of the Project. All monies are deposited
in the revenue fund and then properly distributed to the other funds, as required by the
Trust Indenture. Amounts in the fund at year end represent amounts that have not been
distributed to the other funds due to timing of the interfund transfers.
TEXAS STUDENT HOUSING AUTHORITY-BALLPARK AUSTIN PROJECT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3. CASH AND INVESTMENTS-CONTINUTED
Page 14
Bond Fund -The Trustee makes monthly deposits in the bond fund pursuant to the
Trust Indenture. Amounts in the Bond Fund shall be used solely to fund the payment of
principal and interest on the Bonds, for the redemption of the Bonds at or prior to
maturity, and to purchase Bonds on the open market. In the event of default, amounts
in this fund may pay the fees and expenses of the Trustee prior to making any payments
to the bondholders. This fund has three accounts, the Series 2001A, 2001 B and the
Series 2001 C accounts.
Repair and Replacement Fund -Amounts in the Repair and Replacement Fund may
be (a) used to pay the maintenance and repair costs related to the Ballpark Austin
Property, which the Project is obligated to pay pursuant to the Trust Indenture and (b)
transferred to the bond fund to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds to the extent
there are insufficient monies in the bond fund.
Surplus Fund-The trustee shall deposit any remaining amount in the revenue fund into
the surplus fund. Amounts on deposit in the surplus fund will be released to the Project
if certain release tests are satisfied. If the release tests are not satisfied, the Trustee will
retain the monies on deposit in the surplus fund.
Trustee Fee Fund-Amounts are deposited in the trustee fee fund on a monthly basis
and are intended to pay the fees to the Trustee at year end.
Series A Principal Fund -Amounts in the Series A principal fund represent sinking
fund payments set aside for repayment of the principal balance on the Series A Bonds.
Series B Principal Fund -Amounts in the Series B principal fund represent sinking
fund payments set aside for repayment of the principal balance on the Series B Bonds.
Operating Reserve Fund -Amounts in the operating reserve fund may be transferred
to the property manager to fund operations if the transfer from the revenue fund is not
sufficient to pay operating expenses. Amounts may also be transferred to the Bond
Fund to pay principal and interest on the Bonds; to the extent there are insufficient
monies in the Bond Fund on any interest payment date.
Debt Service Reserve 2001A Account-The amounts on deposit in this account are to
be used for the purpose of paying principal and interest on the Series 2001A Bonds as
they become due in the event there should be insufficient funds in the Bond Fund.
Debt Service Reserve 2001 B Account-The amounts on deposit in this account are to
be used for the purpose of paying principal and interest on the Series 2001 B Bonds as
they become due in the event there should be insufficient funds in the Bond Fund.
Project Fund -Amounts in the project fund are held and disbursed for costs of the
project.

Page 15
Residual Fund -Amounts in the residual fund relate to three accounts -the
Subordinate Bond Amortization Account -Series C, the Issuer Education Account and
the Supplemental Management Fee Account. Based on release, tests funds are then
transferred to each respective account. In addition insurance funds are held to pay
costs of maintaining insurance on the project.
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 entities cash and investments.
Disclosure Relating to 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-Ballpark Austin Project is not significantly exposed to interest rate risk
as all investments earn a variable rate.
Disclosure Relating to 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-Ballpark Austin Project holds all of its cash and investments with the bond
trustee and commercial banks.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of Texas Student Housing Authority-Ballpark Austin Project is
subject to the indenture agreement of the Bonds. As of August 31,2005, Texas Student
Housing Authority-Ballpark Austin Project held all of its restricted cash balances with the
trustee, which represents 84% of the total cash and investments held at August 31,
2005.
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 governmental will not be able to recover the value of its
Page 16
TEXAS STUDENT HOUSING AUTHORITY-BALLPARK AUSTIN PROJECT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3. CASH AND INVESTMENTS-CONTINUTED
Custodial Credit Risk -continued
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.

NOTE 5. BONDS PAYABLE
The Bonds are Tax-Exempt Governmental Obligations under the Internal Revenue Code.
The Bonds payable represent amounts due to the bondholders, via the Trustee, and
payable under the terms of the Trust Indenture dated December 1, 2001. The Bonds are
payable solely from the revenues generated by the Project and are secured by the revenues
pledged and assigned under the terms of the Trust Indenture. Interest rates on the bonds
range from 4.00% to 11.00% and are payable semi-annually on July 1 and January 1 of
each year thereafter.
At August 31, 2005, the Project had not made interest payments on the subordinate 2001C
Bond series since July 2003 and the subordinate 2001 C Bond is in default. In addition, the
Project's fixed charges coverage ratio was not in compliance with the covenants of the
Indenture. These events do not constitute an event of default that accelerates the bonds.
As a result, the maturities are presented under the original repayment terms.
The following is a summary of long-term debt transactions of the Project for the twelve
month period ended August 31, 2005:

We are providing this letter, as required by the Trust Indenture by and between Texas Student
Housing Authority -Ballpark Austin Project ("Project") and the Bank of New York ("Trustee"),
dated December 1, 2001, relating to Texas Student Housing Authority -Ballpark Austin Project
Student Housing Revenue Bonds the "Indenture", to certify the Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio
as of August 31, 2005.
The Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio is defined in the Indenture as the ratio of revenue available
for fixed charges to fixed charges. Further, fixed charges are defined in the Indenture as the
sum of all cash outflows related to the Project that the Issuer cannot avoid without violating
long-term contractual or legal obligations (those obligations which extend for a period greater
than one year), including, but not limited to, (i) interest on Indebtedness other than Short-Term
Indebtedness, and (ii) scheduled payments of principal on Indebtedness other than Short-Term
Indebtedness, provided that Maximum Annual Debt Service shall be used for purposes of
computing (i) and (ii) above.
The audited financial statements indicate revenue available for fixed charges for the twelve
month period ended August 31, 2005 to be $2,038,698.
Based on the above revenues and fixed charges utilizing Bond A and Bond B, we calculate that
the Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio as of August 31, 2005 to be .43, which is based on twelve
months of operations.
Based on the above revenues and fixed charges utilizing Bond A, Bond B and Bond C, we
calculate that the Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio as of August 31, 2005 to be .25, which is
based on twelve months of operations.
Based on the budgeted revenues and fixed charges utilizing Bond A and Bond B, we calculate
that the Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio as of August 31, 2005, to be .44, which is based on
twelve months of operations.
