Revised January 2008
TSHA STRATEGIC PLAN—STATUS REVIEW BY BOARD COMMITTEE
There are twenty five Strategic Initiatives under seven headings in the TSHA Strategic Plan as
approved by the TSHA Board of Directors in November 2006. These are listed below with the
actions taken to date.
PROGRAMS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
Expansion of scholarships for needy......Increased from 43% in 2006 to more than 50% in 2007
Expansion of scholarship values........... Budget dependent, Recommend Incremental
Scholarship value remain at current$2500 per
year, a$10,000 total 4 year value.
Over flow facility secured in College Station doubled
slots available in College Station in 2007.
2008 availability TBD due sale of facility.
Full Scholarships increased by 20%to 30 total.
Expansion of scholarship institutions..... Formation of a 501(c) 3 nonprofit Texas Student Housing
Organization as a separate entity of the Town of
Westlake through which added properties might be
acquired and managed. The process requires a cash
input other than from TSHA to continue and may need
Board of Alderman consideration.
Westlake Academy scholarship issue..... Direct TSHA scholarship awards is -probably not in
keeping with TSHA policy of state wide
scholarship equality.
Town of Westlake scholarships managed by TSHA
might be considered as future alternative.
Expansion strategy...........................Covered above in Expansion of scholarship institutions
Documentation of scholarship admin.....Accomplished and used in evaluation of 2007/2008
scholarship awards. Policy is now to raise the lowest
of the three academic parameters to mid point of
its numerical range aiding both low SAT achievers
and those not in top percentages of class ranking.
Develop automated tools for evaluation-Revised approach implemented with evaluation
process using 15 parameter, 250 total point format.
Automated entry not to be implemented at this time.
Scholarship acceptance ratio................Improvement in 2007 cycle with revised selection
process and by getting verbal acceptances prior to
firm offers of new full scholarships. High renewal
for Fulls already experienced in 2008.
UNT freshman on campus policy..........TSHA letter to UNT President addressed scholarship
equality. Will continue effort in 2008.
Page 2.
TSU freshman/sophomore on campus policy.......TBD later after resolution of UNT issue
Cambridge tax issue..........................No resolution by Brazos County Court. Project would
be libel for any judgment/charges imposed.
Property Manager potential misconduct...Asset Management oversight by TSHA of finances and
properties is in a thorough and consistent manner.
Also Board Treasurer performs active oversight of
financials.
Student injury potential......................Property Management resident policies and actions to
monitor and enforce are consistent with student
housing industry standards.
Continued purchase and oversight of proper insurance
coverage for properties and Authority.

actions are underway.
Cash reserve and investment policies.....TBD by Board and staff.

TEXAS STUDENT HOUSING PRESIDENTS REPORT
SCHOLARSHIPS
Renewal scholarship considerations have been the focus for the last several weeks. We
recommend that the Board consider 94 renewals which are 77% of the current recipients
who are requesting another year of TSHA scholarship support. That list of names is
provided to the Board with the recommendation to approve. We have 19 graduating this
year, 8 in their fourth and final year on scholarship, 20 not requesting a continued
scholarship and about 28 that have not net TSHA standards. Some of these kids have
GPA's below our required level and some have refused to take 15 credit hours. We are
corresponding with all of them advising that they are eligible to reapply when they meet
the standards that they acknowledged when accepting our scholarships.
A number of letters of appreciation from graduating recipients are being forwarded to the
Board. Some of these are pretty inspiring.
Twenty five of the thirty full scholarship recipients, 83% are qualified to be renewed.
Several others may be qualified but are delinquent in their correspondence. The decision
on each of them will be set by the end of this month. Evaluating our recipients requesting
renewal of their TSHA scholarships is one of the highlights of the job. We do have some
great kids on scholarship many of whom would not be in college without our support.
New scholarship applicants are being received daily. The rate appears to be slower than
last year; however, the schedule change to extend the fall semester to mid January could be
a factor. The greatest percentages of early applicants are Hispanic females, most of whom
are well qualified. The interest from the male population continues to decrease.
OCCUPANCY
Current overall occupancy is 96.4%. Cambridge is 100% and the low is Denton at 88.5%.
Overall pre-lease for fall 2008 is 13%, the same as this time last year. Ballpark is up, San
Marcos is down.
Physically, San Marcos continues to deteriorate and will be an issue from here on.
Adequate funds are not available for repair and replacement. The solution could be to
refinance or stop all bond payments for a period of time in order to renovate the property.
TSHA has little to gain by keeping the property and the university policy of only
permitting third year and above students to live off campus greatly restricts scholarships.
Currently we gain little financially or in providing scholarships with this property. The San
Marcos Project is unusual even for TSHA. The City of Cameron is the Issuer of the bonds
and TSHA is the borrower of the money.
CAMBRIDGE
The tax decision remains in the hands of the Brazos County Court.
PROJECT FINANCES
For the first quarter of the FY, September—November, the project finances are as follows:
- Revenue is $4.8M, 5% positive to budget. Cambridge is well ahead and Denton
and San Marcos are behind.
- Expenses are $2.7M, on budget. Town Lake and Denton are below budget. San
Marcos and Ball Park are above.
- NOI is $2.1M, 11% positive to budget. All projects are positive to budget except
for San Marcos which is 17% negative.
AUTHORITY FINANCES
The Authority Balance Sheet through December shows $415K after paying the Town
$300K earmarked for the Academy. The revenue is still somewhat front loaded as a
number of the Incremental Scholarship recipients have paid ahead. This will continue
through January but then will even out over the FY. Net Income is $28K positive with
revenue positive and expenses slightly negative.
AUDITS
The FY 2007 audit drafts for the projects and the Authority have been completed and will
be presented to the Board for consideration. They were not done in a timely manner due to
issues with the current auditor and misrepresentations by the trustee. The current auditor
while being very reasonable cost wise appears to be a training ground. The Town uses the
same firm; however, the offices doing the work are in different locations with different
people. The trustee for Town Lake and San Marcos is being replaced this month and
similar action on the other properties is under way.
FULL SCHOLARSHIP DONATIONS
Full scholarship donations are $4100 to date. The Board stands at 57% donors. With the
recent Academy Foundation publicity and the TSHA earmarked donations becoming
public knowledge, external solicitations will be interesting.
STREGIC PLAN
The Board Strategic Plan Committee met in December. Recommendations are presented
under separate cover.
Respectfully Submitted,
Hank Smyth

Gentlemen:
For the past three years, I have been genuinely honored to be selected
as a recipient of the Texas Student Housing Authority Scholarship. I
would like to thank you again very much because it has impacted my
life in a very positive way. Completing my degree this coming August
would not have been possible without your assistance .
During my college career at TAMU, I was inducted into Phi Eta Sigma,
the honor Society for first-year students, and Lambda Sigma, the
sophomore honor society. Since only 50 TAMU sophomores were accepted
into Lambda Sigma, I felt honored when they asked me to join and act
as their fundraiser chairperson. Little did I know how much time and
dedication that position would require, but I really did benefit from
the experience. I honed valuable leadership and managerial skills as I
was on the Executive Board. I greatly appreciate the occurrence.
I was also chosen to be one of the two mentors of 22 Aggie Gateway
students . Those students looked to me and my co-mentor as leaders who
could help them adjust to college life. My duties included contacting
them weekly, offering guidance, and counseling them so that the
transition from high school to college was smoother. Once they
successfully completed 24 hours of TAMU college coursework, they were
granted full admission to the university. It was my job to see that
they were successful. I took pride in seeing their results as I knew
I had somehow contributed to their tenure at Texas A&M.
I have completed 92 hours . Those hours include most of the CBK
courses and management courses needed for my degree plan. At the end
of the August semester, I will graduate with a BBA in Management (Pre-
w
I have lived in the Melrose Apartments for the past two years . I
settled in comfortably and I really enjoyed living here. Not only
were the accommodations very nice, but I also liked the proximity to
campus . This allows me easy access to the library, student center and
even those. fun Texas Aggie Football games .
I have worked at Student Business Services (tuition department) about
20 hours per week for the past three years . In addition, I also
worked 10 hours through the Aggie Access Gateway program. Both have
sharpened my work ethic and appreciation of a job well done.
To "The Scholarship Committee:
I, Son Ilan, would like to thank you again for this scholarship. I am in my last year at UT
and this will be the fourth time I will be granted this scholarship. I have a job set up with
Ernst and Young for a full time position. I will be graduating in May 2008 with Illy
Master's of Science in Accounting, along with my Bachelor's of Science in Accounting.
None of this could have been possible without this scholarship,for this,I thank you
again.
This semester I have completed 16 hours of coursework with a GPA of 3.26. Also, I will
be sitting for the CPA exam in the spring.
Also, I will be studying hard and working as a Guest Teacher with Austin ISD to earn
more income. Other than that, I will be studying arduously and finish my college tenure
with flying colors.
As for a renewal, this is my final year in college and will no longer need this scholarship.
Thank you for a great 4 years.
"Thank you again.
Sincerely, j

To Whom It May Concern:
I am a fourth year recipient of the Texas Student Housing Authority scholarship and am wishing to
give an update regarding my Fall 2007 semester as well as a brief discussion on my future plans.
My cumulative GPA to date is a 3.11. I finished the semester with University Honors and a
semester GPA of 3.5. The Public Health Internship that I spoke to you about in my previous letter
was a wonderful experience and I learned so much about public health and how the state of Texas is
preparing for an outbreak of pandemic influenza.
During this past semester, I have also become a research assistant in the lab where I was previously
a dishwasher. I have worked on projects involving compensatory mutations in T3 and T7
bacteriophages as well as a gene swap in the gene ten region in T7, K11, and SP6 bacteriophages. In
the spring, I will be participating in a mutagenesis study where mutations are introduced into a
specified region in DNA molecules from various phages. Also, I have been hired as a Freshman
Research Initiative Mentor for Research Methods. In this course, I will be helping to mentor
freshman in molecular equipment and techniques important to a career in research. I am very
excited for the semester and am looking forward to getting a taste of what teaching is all about.
I have also been accepted into a Clinical Laboratory Science Certification Program at Methodist
Hospital in Houston.This component, which is a year long certification process, is necessary prior to
graduating with my B.S. in Clinical Laboratory Science. I am ecstatic about their program and just
loved the tour of their facilities during my interview and I am just so happy to be a part of the
Methodist system of hospitals. I will be one of four students starting their program in the Fall of
2008.
Thank you so much for the opportunity that the Texas Student Housing Authority has given to me
these past four years. I am extremely grateful for the work that you do in supporting us in order to
receive an education. I am proud to have began and ended my college career as a recipient of such a
prestigious scholarship. As this will be my last year with TSHA, I hope that you will continue this
tradition for many more great years!
I will be mailing my official transcript shortly.
Sincerely Yours,
Jennyfer Nguyen
January 10, 2008
Texas Student Housing:
I am writing this letter in regards to my recent graduation and reporting on my fall semester at the
University of North Texas.
To begin, I recently graduated this Fall 2007 from the University of North Texas with my Bachelor of
Business Administration and concentration in Human Resource Management. I had spoken to Pete
Ehrenberg about this change in my status at the end of my spring semester, so we could discuss the
prorated amount of the scholarship. So just for the record I have already graduated and I have
sincerely appreciated the assistance of the Texas Student Housing Scholarship over the three and a
half years I spent at the University of North Texas.
In regards to my fall semester, I really enjoyed it and tried my best to take in all of the experiences,
friendships, training, and scholarship I have witnessed over the years. The entire semester was
honestly just like the others only with increased difficulty in the required curriculum, responsibilities,
cooperation, and patience needed to survive a challenging semester. The amount of time required to
be dedicated to these courses was significant which caused me to have to place some of my
extracurricular activities on the back-burner this time around. I won't fie, it was depressing for me not
to be able to do my normal pattern of activities and socializing, however, my last semester was calling
my name.
i
Plus there was no way I was going to allow my cumulative GPA to drop at all. I have worked so hard
through my.college career and one of my last goals was to graduate with honors as Cumlaude (3.5
GPA). At the beginning of'the semester I was right at 3.568 which made me really nervous but I know
what I'm capable of doing so I worked hard in all my classes and remained conscience if all my
grades. In the end I finished with a 3.4 GPA which is awesome considering this semester's difficulty!
I've never felt so relieved and proud!Aside from keeping my grades up, I remained active in my
sorority as Fundraising Chair, Chapter Secretary, and continued mentoring the new President;
continued mentoring in my sorority's HS program FUTURO; Order of Omega National Greek Honor
i
Society; Society for Human Resource Management; along with partic pating in community services
correlating with my Multicultural Scholastic Award Scholarship.
Even thought that sounds pretty hectic for a graduating senior with a full load, I felt like I wasn't able to
attend anything but that is just my opinion. Despite my opinion, I am very proud of the education I
received at UNT and am thankful for the opportunities I've been given. I am a perfect example of the
"Busy Bee" student who reached success and feels completely prepared to take on the world's,next
obstacle.
So in conclusion, I would like to thank you for all of the support and assistance you have provided for
me throughout my years and the University of North Texas., I wish I would find a better way to
express my gratitude butfor now I hope this scholarship continues to help other hopefuls such as
myself to succeed and strive for a,higher education.
Thank you

Dear TSHA Members and Staff,
I am writing you not only to inform you of my progress this past fall, but also to remind you of
the very important work you do for so many students. I have had the good fortune to be one of
those students for the past three years, and your gift to my education has allowed me to pursue so
many other things I otherwise would not have been able to pursue.
This past semester was a very successful one for me. I found myself making A's in my courses
for the fall semester, and one of those A's aided me in securing a job for the ensuing spring.
This past fall, I took a Sex-Based Discrimination course with Dr. Sarah Weddington. Dr.
Weddington successfully argued before the Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade (1973), was elected
as a Texas Representative for three terms, and served as a special advisor to the President in
Jimmy Carter's administration. Upon concluding the course, Dr. Weddington extended to me a
job offer to work with her at The Weddington Center, helping her in her current endeavors as a
public speaker on reproductive rights, breast cancer awareness, public leadership, and women's
issues. Your scholarship undoubtedly gave me the opportunity to achieve academically in ways
I would not have otherwise, and certainly allowed me to make a significant impression on a
national leader and a remarkable woman.
I also was able to play a very important role at my internship with NARAL Pro-Choice Texas
this past fall. In September, I was the coordinator of a project that surveyed 850 pharmacies,
hospitals, and clinics in the entire Houston-area. I was responsible for coordinating 40
volunteers in the collection of data concerning emergency contraception availability in Houston.
The data collected from that survey revealed some very startling statistics that were compiled
into a five-page report on the status of emergency contraception. This coming spring, I will be in
charge of organizing press releases, a press conference, and the publication of the report that I
created, in hopes of raising public awareness concerning reproductive rights.
As I have mentioned in a previous letter, I am scheduled to graduate a year earlier than I had
originally planned. May will mark the conclusion of my last semester here at the University of
Texas at Austin, and thus the end of my TSHA scholarship. As of now, I have maintained a 4.0
and am currently practicing for the LSAT in anticipation of law school. Since my first day at
UT, I have noticed my own personal growth coupled with the fulfilling of my prospective goals,
which has been nothing short of a miracle. Your scholarship not only guaranteed my personal
capacity to achieve those goals, but also inspired them. A little faith in a person can go a long
way, and TSHA's faith in me instilled a personal ambition and virtuous confidence in my own
abilities that drove me to accomplish a lot in a few years. As I quickly learned, if others believed
in me, I could unquestionably believe in myself. Thank you again for your kind contribution, but
even more importantly I want to thank you for having faith in me.
Sincerely,
Shane M. Trawick

To Whom It May Concern:
With the coming and passing of the New Year also comes the completion of my fall
semester at Texas A&M University. It was an incredible semester with some impressive
outcomes. I finished the semester with a 3.55 GPR which puts me at around a 3.0 for my
cumulative GPR. Through my participation and leadership involvement in the National
Association of Environmental Professionals (NAEP) I have meet valuable contacts that will be
helpful with my graduation just a semester away. The fall is always one of my favorite times of
the semester due to the excitement that football brings. The Aggies are continuing to improve
their playing and beating t.u. during my last home game at Texas A&M was the perfect way to
finish. Through my hard work in summer school and advanced placement courses I will
complete my graduation in four years. Something I am very proud of
I believe my final semester will Drove to be the most difficult. While maintaining and
improving my grades will be my most important task, fin mg a job will prove to be a tedious and
difficult task. I plan to utilize the terrific Career Center provided to students by the University as
well as through the NAEP. This past summer I interned at an enviromnental consulting firm that
I also resumed during the holiday break. I found this field to be challenging and plan to join this
field full time after graduation. One of my most important goals for this spring semester is to
enjoy and relish all of the experiences. Being a student has allowed freedoms and experiences
that are one of a kind, and I will surely miss this time in my life.
I have thoroughly enjoyed living at the Cambridge for the past three and a half year It
has allowed me to meet and make friends with new people each year. Some of my closest
friends I still remember meeting my first day at the Cambridge. I can not express how grateful I
am for the generosity of your organization.. My time at Texas A&M has been incredible and I
thank you for selecting me as a recipient of your scholarship. I plan to make the most of my last
semester as a college student while preparing for my future. I appreciate all your help and wish
everyone at the Texas Student Housing Authority a Happy New Year!
Thank you

CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS E BUSINESS CONSULTANTS
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 of the Town of Westlake), as of and for the year ended August 31, 2007,
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 of the Texas Student Housing Authority as of August 31, 2007, 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.

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, 2007. 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.
i
The assets of the Authority exceeded its liabilities at the close of the fiscal year by
$548,780, an increase of $94,046 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 $622,470, an
increase of$105,189 over the prior fiscal year.
® All revenues are generated from management of the properties and scholarship
activity of the authority and totaled $1,070,536. Total expenses incurred were
$1,027,894.
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.
The statement of cash flows reflects cash inflows and outflows by operating, noncapital financing and
capital related financing activities during the year.
0
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in
the financial statements.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET
We anticipate that fiscal year 2007/2008 will end with less income to the Authority as we have increased
scholarships at our overflow facility in College Station.
This financial report is designed to provide the reader with a general overview of the Authority's
finances and to demonstrate the Authority's accountability for the money it receives. If you have any
questions about this report, or need additional information, please contact Pete Ehrenberg at (8 17) 490-

AUGUST 31,2007
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.
A summary of the Authority's significant accounting policies consistently applied in the
preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:
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) 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.
0
IIe SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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.
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.
The Authority considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less
when purchased to be cash equivalents. At August 31, 2007, the Authority had no such
investments included in cash and cash equivalents.
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, 2007, 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.
E9
MKIMawst
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 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.
EGUMMM
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.
Texas Student Housing Authority holds no investments at August 31, 2007, and is not
exposed to concentration of 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, 2007, the Authority's cash balances totaled $622,470 (bank balance of
$583,940). Of the bank balance, $100,000 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$483,940.
III. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (Continued)
Net assets represent the residual assets after liabilities are deducted. These assets are
reported in the following categories:
Unrestricted Net Assets consists of the portion of net assets after invested in
capital assets, net of related debt and restricted for net assets has been satisfied.
At August 31, 2007, 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 $100,000 is
included in expenses at August 31, 2007. The Authority also received revenues of$278,446
related to its oversight of the various properties.

Westlake, Texas
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Texas Student Housing Authority —
Town Lake Austin Project (the "Project"), as of and for the year ended August 31, 2007, which
collectively comprise the Project's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. Texas
Student Housing Authority— Town Lake 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 I, 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,
2007, 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 Texas Student Housing Authority—Town Lake Austin Project as of August
31, 2007, 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 3 through 6 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 Texas Student Housing Authority — Town Lake Austin Project's basic
financial statements. The accompanying supplemental information on page 19 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.

$1,914,830. A total of$189,703 in principal was paid during 2007.
Leases at the Project are primarily 12-month leases, however, due to competitive and market conditions,
a relatively minor number of 10-month leases exist. These leases do bring a monthly premium over the
12-month leases. Occupancy for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2008, forecasts at 100%. However,
rental rates, again due to competitive pressures will not see a large increase.
Net operating revenue for next year is projected at $1,623,356. Debt service decreases from $1,914,830
to $1,891,632.

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 Town
Lake Austin Project (the "Project"). The Project was purchased from Jefferson Commons —
Austin, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership on December 17, 2002. The Project obtained its
financing through the issuance of Texas Student Housing Authority — Student Housing Revenue
Bonds (Jefferson Commons at Town Lake Project), Series 2002 A-1 and A-2 (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 2002 A-1 and Series 2002 A-2 Bonds
were issued in the face amounts of$19,480,000 and $5,570,000, respectively. The accompanying
financial statements present the operations of the one Project, whose revenue streams are pledged
for the Bonds described herein.
The Project was operated and managed under the terms of the (a) Property Management and
Leasing Agreement by and between the Authority and JPI Campus Quarters Management, L.P.
("JPI") and (b) the Asset Management Agreement by and between the Authority and JPI
Apartment Management, L.P., up until February 2005, The Project is now managed and operated
by Asset Campus Housing under the terms of a Property Management and Leasing Agreement
dated March 1, 2005. The Property Management Agreements are collectively referred to as the
"Agreements."
A summary of the Project's significant accounting policies consistently applied in the
preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:
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:

II. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN'T'ING POLICIES (Continued)
A. Deporting Entity (Continued)
Financial Accountabiliiy — 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.
y -lI - f 1 ' t ! 6a
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.
i .I i
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.
The Project considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less
when purchased to be cash equivalents. At August 31, 2007, the Project had no such
investments included in cash and cash equivalents.
In addition, the Project has restricted cash of$1,488,977 that is held by the Trustee for the
Bonds payable under provisions of the Trust Indenture. During the year ended August 31,
2007, the investment income received from cash was $63,230. See Note III for risk
disclosures and breakdown of restricted cash accounts.

II. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
C. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity (Continued)
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, 2007, management has determined that all accounts doubtful of collection have
been charged to operations and an allowance is not required.
Costs associated with the issuance of bonds are deferred and amortized over the term of the
Bonds.
All adverting costs are expensed as they are incurred. Advertising costs for the year ended
August 31, 2007, were approximately$53,000.
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 provides for a replacement fund requirement. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:

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.
Bond Proceeds Fund — The Trustee makes monthly deposits in the Bond
Proceeds Fund pursuant to the Trust Indenture. Amounts in the Bond Proceeds
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.

Debt Service Reserve Fund — The amounts on deposit in this account are to be
used for the purpose of paying principal and interest on the Bonds in the event the
principal and interest is not paid by issuer in accordance with the terms of the
indenture and written notice of the Servicing Agent.
Pro ect Fund— Amounts in the Project Fund are held and disbursed for costs of
the Project.
Repair and Replacement Fund— Amounts in the Repair and Replacement Fund
may be used to make mandatory repairs of the Project pursuant to the Trust
Indenture.
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.
T'e poralT Funds and Accounts—The Trustee may establish and maintain for so
long as is necessary one or more Temporary Funds and accounts under this
indenture. The Deferred Debt Service Reserve Fund, Tax and Insurance Fund,
and Initial Purchase Funds are Temporary Funds at August 31, 2007.
Residual 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 Residual Fund.
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 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— Town Lake Austin Project is not significantly exposed to interest rate risk as all
investments earn a variable rate.

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— Town Lake Austin
Project holds all of its cash and investments with the Bond Trustee and commercial banks.
The investment policy of Texas Student Housing Authority — Town Lake Austin Project is
subject to the indenture agreement of the Bonds. As of August 31, 2007, the Project held all
of its restricted cash balances with the Trustee, which represents 91% of the total cash and
investments held at August 31, 2007.

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, 2007, the Project has unrestricted cash of $150,427 (bank balance
$121,045). Of the bank balances, $100,956 was covered by federal depository insurance
while the remaining $20,089 was uncollateralized. The Project has a Bank Deposit
Guarantee Bond from the Project's depository in the amount of$2,000,000.

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. The Town of Westlake does not have any liability for

To the Board of Directors
Texas Student Housing Authority—
Ballpark Austin Project
Westlake, Texas
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Texas Student Housing Authority —
Ballpark Austin Project (the "Project"), as of and for the year ended August 31, 2007, 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 I, 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,
2007, 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 Texas Student Housing Authority — Ballpark Austin Project at August 31,
2007, 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 accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Texas Student
Housing Corporation—Ballpark Austin Project will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note I
to the financial statements, the Project is in default on its bonds and the Trustee or Service Agent may
choose to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are discussed in
Note I. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

The management's discussion and analysis on pages 3 through b is not a required part of the
basic financial statements but is 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 Texas Student Housing Authority — Ballpark Austin Project's basic financial
statements. The accompanying supplemental 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 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.

As staff of the Texas Student Housing Authority (the "Authority") – Ballpark Austin Project (the
"Project"), we offer the readers of the Project's financial statements this narrative overview and analysis
of the financial activities of the Project for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007. We encourage readers
to consider the information presented herein in conjunction with the Project's financial statements which
follow this section. As the Authority is a component unit of the Town of Westlake and is thus
considered a governmental entity, 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 Project itself for 2007.
The liabilities of the Project exceeded its assets at the close of the fiscal year by
$9,936,876. Of this liability, a total of $338,450 is carried as a liability to JPI, the
former management company, and management is of the opinion that pending a
settlement with JPI, this liability may be forgiven.
Operating revenue of $3,359,388 is $61,485 more than budget; however, operating
expense is $114,446 less than budget, not including depreciation and amortization.
® At the end of the current fiscal year, the., total cash balances were $320,171 in
unrestricted cash and $2,120,077 in restricted cash.
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Project's basic financial
statements. The Project'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 Project is being treated as a going concern. The Project is in default on its bonds and is not
financially able to make scheduled principal and interest payments on its outstanding debt. They are
considered an event of default by the Trustee, which gives the bondholders the right to accelerate and
demand payment of the bonds in full. Management and the property manager are in the process of
developing plans to increase occupancy and rental rates at the property to improve its financial
performance.

Series B 2,330,000
Series C 3,000,000
Less discounts ( 1,462,076)
Total $ 35,772,924
For the fiscal year ending August 31, 2008, the total principal and interest payment is calculated at
$2,459,157. A total of$570,000 in principal was paid during 2007.
Fixed charge cover ratio. The bond indenture provides for a fixed charge 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 Project has only realized a ratio of .85 and .78, respectively, and is thus
technically in default of the indenture.
0
Leases at the Project are primarily 12-month leases, however, due to competitive and market conditions,
a relatively minor number of 10-month leases exist. These leases do bring a monthly premium over the
12-month leases. Occupancy for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2008, indicates a substantial increase
to 100%; however, rental rates, again due to competitive pressures, will not see an increase.
Net operating revenue for next year is projected at $1,901,224. 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 13 debt service reserve funds.

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 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 2001B and Subordinate Series 2001C. The bonds
were issued through a 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 Project, whose revenue streams are pledged for
the bonds described herein.
The 2007 financial statements were prepared assuming the Project will continue as a going
concern. The Project's bonds payable are considered to be in default due to the discontinuance of
principal and interest payments. These are considered an event of default by the Trustee, which
gives the bondholders the right to accelerate and demand payment of the bonds in full.
Management and the property manager are in the process of developing and implementing plans to
increase occupancy and rental rates at the property to improve its financial performance.
A summary of the Project's significant accounting policies consistently applied in the
preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:
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:
lul
II. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
A. Reporting Entity (Continued)
Financial AccountahgLt.E — 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.
'. i i : r' I ,
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.
11111 11�11 14WIM:
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.
The Project considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less
when purchased to be cash equivalents. At August 31, 2007, the Project had no such
investments included in cash and cash equivalents.
In addition, the Project has restricted cash of $2,120,077 that is held by the trustee for the
bonds payable under provisions of the trust indenture. During the year ended August 31,
2007, the investment income received from cash was $134,855. See Note III for risk
disclosures and breakdown of restricted cash accounts.

II. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
C. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity (Continued)
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, 2007, management has determined that all accounts doubtful of collection have
been charged to operations and an allowance is not required.
Costs associated with the issuance of bonds are deferred and amortized over the term of the
bonds.
Advertising Costs
All adverting costs are expensed as they are incurred. Advertising costs for the year ended
August 31, 2007, were approximately $85,000.
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 trust 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

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.
M,
III. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (Continued)
A. Cash and Investments (Continued)
Restricted Cash (Continued)
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 2001 A, 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 2001 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 20018 Account— The amounts on deposit in this account
are to be used for the purpose of paying principal and interest on the Series 2001B
Bonds as they become due in the event there should be insufficient funds in the
Bond Fund.
Pro ect Fund— Amounts in the Project Fund are held and disbursed for costs of
the Project.
Residual Fund — Amounts in the Residual Fund related 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 entity's cash and investments.
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.
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.
The investment policy of Texas Student Housing Authority — Ballpark Austin Project is
subject to the indenture agreement of the bonds. As of August 31, 2007, the Project held all
of its restricted cash balances with the trustee, which represents 87% of the total cash and
investments held at August 31, 2007.

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, 2007, $202,072 of the Project's $302,072 bank balance was collateralized
with a Bank Deposit Guarantee Bond from the Project's depository. The remaining balance,
$100,000, was covered by FDIC insurance.

C. 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. The Town of Westlake does not have any liability for
the payment of the bonds, as the bonds are non-recourse to both the Town of Westlake and
Texas Student Housing Authority. 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, 2006, the Project had not made interest payments on the Subordinate 2001C
Bond Series since July 2003, and the Subordinate 2001C 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 12-month
period ended August 31, 2007:

III. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (Continued)
Net assets represent the residual assets after liabilities are deducted. These assets are
reported in the following categories:
Invested in Capital Assets, Net of Related Debt consists of capital assets, net of
accumulated depreciation and reduced by outstanding balances for bonds, notes,
and other debt that are attributed to the acquisition, construction, or improvement
of those assets.
Restrieted for Debt Se'-vice results when constraints placed on net asset use are
either externally imposed by creditors, grantors and the like, or imposed by law
through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
E. Management Fees
Beginning June 1, 2004, the Project retained Asset Campus Management for property
management and recorded property management fees of approximately $133,521 for the year
ended August 31, 2007, with approximately $18,000 due at August 31, 2007, and included in
accounts payable. As of August 31, 2007, the Project has recorded approximately $338,450
in unpaid property and asset management fees to the prior property management company.
The management agreement with the previous management company states that if the
management fees are not paid, the amounts past due will accrue interest at the lesser of 12% or
the highest lawful rate of interest. The Project's financials include accrued interest of
approximately$46,000 for the unpaid management fees for the year ended August 31, 2007.
F. Concentrations
The Project consists of one property in Austin, Texas, and is dependent upon the Austin area
and the higher education facilities in the Austin area for revenues.
G. Commitments and Contingencies
The Project has a deferred purchase commitment for $1,460,000 as part of the original
purchase of the Project. The deferred purchase price accrues interest at a rate of 11% per
annum. The first deferred purchase price installment shall be payable on September 1 of the
first year after the Series C Bonds have been paid in full (scheduled final payment on Series
C Bonds is in 2033), and the remaining installments shall be paid on each anniversary
thereafter until the deferred purchase price and all interest thereon has been paid in full. As
of August 31, 2007, there have been no payments made on the deferred purchase price.
The Project has yet to have an arbitrage calculation performed for its outstanding debt. After
that analysis, the Project may incur a liability for interest earned in accordance with Internal
Revenue Service regulations.

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 12-month period
ended August 31, 2007, to be $2,221,282.

Texas Student Housing Authority—
College Station Project
Westlake, Texas
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Texas Student Housing Authority—
College Station Project(the"Project"), as of and for the year ended August 31, 2007, which collectively
comprise the Project's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. Texas Student
Housing Authority — College Station Project is a component unit of the Town of Westlake. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Project'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 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 I, 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,
2007, 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 Texas Student Housing Authority— College Station Project as of August 31,
2007, and the respective changes in 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 accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Texas Student
Housing Corporation— College Station Project will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
H, H to the financial statements, the Project is in default on its certificates and certificate holders may
choose to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are discussed in
Note II, H. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.

The management's discussion and analysis on pages 3 through 5 is not a required part of the
basic financial statements but is 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– College Station
Project's basic financial statements. The accompanying supplementary information on pages 17 and 18
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.

As staff of the Texas Student Housing Corporation (the "Corporation") – College Station Project (the
"Project"), we offer the readers of the Project's financial statements this narrative overview and analysis
of the financial activities of the Project for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007. We encourage readers
to consider the information presented herein in conjunction with the Project's financial statements which
follow this section. As the Corporation is a component unit of the Town of Westlake and is thus
considered a governmental entity, 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 Project itself for 2007.
Mai er.10i7./_1A Is,iInso t X-MITI
The liabilities of the Project exceeded its assets at the close of the fiscal year by
$3,363,805, due primarily to a decrease in net assets of$1,230,285.
Major components of the expense overage were $75,430 in utilities and $13,386 in
repairs and maintenance expenses.
a At the end of the current fiscal year, the total cash balances were $3,369,881 in
unrestricted cash and$1,383,586 in restricted cash.
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Project's basic financial
statements. The Project'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 Project is being treated as a going concern. The Project is in default on its certificates and is not
financially able to make scheduled principal and interest payments on its outstanding debt. They are
considered an event of default by the Trustee, which gives the certificate holders the right to accelerate
and demand payment of the certificates in full. Management and the property manager are in the
process of developing plans to increase occupancy and rental rates at the property to improve its
financial performance.
The statement of net assets presents information on all of the Project's assets and liabilities with the
difference between the two reported as net assets.
11
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.
The statement of cash flows recaps how cash increased year over year.
Notes to financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the financial statements.
Restricted cash. Restricted cash represents monies held in escrow by the trustee and are restricted for
the payment of expenses as outlined in the Installment Sale Agreement. As of August 31, 2007, these
balances were as follows:
Replacement Fund
$ 194,117
Series A Debt Service Reserve Fund
338,752

Nonrestricted cash. Nonrestricted cash is available for general use of the Project.
Installment note payable. The Project's developer refinanced the original Installment Sale Agreement
effective September 1, 2004, by issuing debt certificates in the following classes:
Series A
$ 17,500,000
Series B
4,900,000
Series C
4,820,000
Series D
5,380,000
Total
$ 32,600,000
The note is payable at the rate of$231,545 monthly.
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
The Installment Sale Agreement provides for a fixed charges coverage ratio of l.1. At this time, the
Project has only realized a ratio of.84 and is thus technically in default of the Agreement. Upon default,
the lender may accelerate maturity of the unpaid portion of the principal, however, it is not anticipated
that this event will incur since foreclosure by the certificate holders would result in the loss of the
Project's tax-exempt status.
11
Leases at the Project have a duration that encompasses the school year, primarily the months of
September through May. The June to August revenue is dependent on the ability to attract various
camps/meetings. As the Project is tax-exempt through the Texas Higher Education Act, only those
functions sponsored by the University are eligible for acceptance. The occupancy for this school year is
100%, thus the focus for this year will be on increasing this "summer" revenue.
Although the fixed charges coverage ratio was only .84, all of the A and B certificate holders received
all proceeds due them. The 2007/2008 budget clearly indicates that operating income will be sufficient
to again service the A and B certificates.
This financial report is designed to provide the reader with a general overview of the Project's finances
and to demonstrate the Project's accountability for the money it receives. If you have any questions
about this report, or need additional information, please contact Pete Ehrenberg at (817) 490-5723, or

Texas Student Housing Authority — College Station Project (the "Project"), a duly constituted
authority of the Town of Westlake, Texas (the "Town") pursuant to Section 53.35(b) of the
Texas Education Code, as amended (the "Act"). The Authority was established to acquire
educational facilities and housing facilities to be used by the students, faculty and staff of
institutions of higher education within the State of Texas. The Project's purpose is to own and
operate a student housing facility known as Cambridge at College Station (the "College Station
Project") in College Station, Texas.
The College Station Project was purchased from Cambridge Student Housing Development, L.P.
(the "Developer") effective September 1, 2004. The Project obtained its financing through a
seller-financed installment sale agreement. The accompanying financial statements present the
operations of the Project, whose revenues are pledged for the installment note described herein.
The College Station Project is operated and managed under the terms of the First Amended and
Restated Property Project Management and Leasing Agreement by and between the Authority
and Asset Campus Housing, Inc. for the period audited.
The Project's significant accounting policies are as follows:
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.
G1
I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
A. Reporting Entity (Continued)
The criteria set forth require governmental reporting entities to determine their primary
government for the purposes of annual reporting. 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 regardless of whether the organization
has a separately elected governing board appointed by a higher level of government or a
jointly appointed board.
I: i
The Project uses the "net income and capital maintenance" measurement focus. This means
that all assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, and expenses are accounted for using the accrual
basis of accounting. Such standards are generally in accordance with the reporting standards
of income producing real estate projects owned in the private sector.
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.
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Such costs include carpet and appliance
replacements. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following
useful lives:
Buildings 30 years
Improvements 15 years
Equipment,furniture and fixtures 5 - 20 years
Hul
I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACC®IJNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Project considers unrestricted cash and
highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be
cash and cash equivalents.
As of and during the year ended August 31, 2007, the Project had cash deposits with
financial institutions in excess of the $100,000 amount insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. Any amounts over the FDIC limit are insured with pledged securities
by the Project's depository.
The Project is an instrumentality of the Town of Westlake, therefore, its income is not
subject to federal income taxation pursuant to Section 115 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Additionally, the Project is exempt from local property taxes.
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.
CHMEMMIM
All advertising costs are expensed as they are incurred. Advertising costs for the year ended
August 31, 2007, were approximately$63,000.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

P. Installment Note Payable
The Project's installment note payable is summarized as follows:
Interest
Lender/Security/Due Date Rate Balance
Cambridge Student Housing Financing Company, L.P.;
substantially all assets and assignment of rents; due
November 1,2039 8.00% $ 32,345,000
The Project's installment note is payable monthly with principal and interest payments of
$231,545 until November 1, 2039.
The following is a summary of long-term debt transactions of the Project for the year ended
August 31, 2007:
Amounts
Beginning Ending Due Within
Balance Increases Decreases Balance One Year
Installment note $ 32,600,000 $ - $ 255,000 $ 32,345,000 $ 32,345,000
The Project's original Developer refinanced the installment note through a secondary
offering with Cambridge Student Housing Financing Company, L.P. The debt certificates
were sold to private investors in the following classes:
Class(Series) Offering Total
A $ 17,245,000
B 4,900,000
C 4,820,000
D 5,380,000
Total $ 32,345,000
i
II. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (Continued)
B. Installment Note Payable (Continued)
Each class has certain rights and privileges, as contained in the private placement
memorandum. As a part of the offering, the Project entered into a trust agreement with J. P.
Morgan Trust Company, N.A. (the "Trustee") for the purpose of determining that each class
is paid in accordance with the private placement memorandum.
At August 31, 2007, the Project was not in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio.
Should the project default, the lender may accelerate the maturity of the unpaid portion of the
principal payable under the installment sale agreement. However, the Authority does not
anticipate this event will occur, since foreclosure by private interests would result in the loss
of tax-exempt status for the Project.

II. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (Continued)
Resident leases generally have a duration that encompasses the school year. This enables the
Project to pass on inflationary increases in operating expenses on a timely basis; however,
this exposes the Project to rental rate decreases during economic downturns. Additionally,
competition from nearby university housing properties in College Station, Texas influences
the housing rates charged to students. Despite these risks, the Project believes there will be a
continued strong demand for its dwelling units.
E. Net Assets
Net assets represent the residual assets after liabilities are deducted. Net assets are reported
in the following categories.
Invested in Capital Assets, Net of Related Debt— consists of capital assets, net of
accumulated depreciation and reduced by outstanding balances for certificates,
notes, and other debt that are attributed to the acquisition, construction, or
improvement of those assets.
Restricted for Debt Service— consists of net assets for which conditions are either
externally imposed by creditors, grantors and the like, or imposed by law through
constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. At August 31, 2007, the total
funds available for debt service were less than the accrued interest due at August
31, 2007. As a result,net assets restricted for debt service is shown at zero.
Unrestricted—available for general use of the Project without restriction.
The Project pays Asset Campus Housing asset management fees for the management of the
College Station Property. The Project recorded property management fees of approximately
$276,000 for the period ended August 31, 2007.
Administration and marketing expenses include approximately $102,000 for administrative
fees earned by Texas Student Housing Authority. Administrative fees totaling approximately
$20,000 are included in accounts payable at August 31, 2007.
G. Commitments and Contingencies
During fiscal year 2006, the Brazos County Tax — Assessor's office filed suit against the
Project in order to eliminate the Project's tax-exempt status. This would force the Project to
begin paying property taxes on the property owed by the Project. The County is also seeking
back property taxes previously not paid as the Project was under tax-exempt status. The
status of this suit is unknown at this time and a liability has not been booked. Should the
county prevail, the Project would owe the county a material amount of property taxes, from
both current and prior periods.

G. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
The Project has not yet to have an arbitrage calculation performed for its outstanding debt.
After that analysis, the Project may incur a liability for interest earned in accordance with
Internal Revenue Service regulations.
H. Going Concern
The 2007 financial statements were prepared assuming the Project will continue as a going
concern. The Project's bonds payable are considered to be in default due to partial non-
payment of principal and interest payments. These are considered an event of default by the
Trustee, which gives the bondholders the right to accelerate and demand payment of the bonds
in full. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Project's ability to continue as a going
concern. Management and the property manager are in the process of developing and
implementing plans to increase occupancy and rental rates at the property to improve its
financial performance.
