INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Texas Student Housing Corporation -The Ridge at North Texas
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the business type
activities of Texas Student Housing Corporation-The Ridge at North Texas (the
"Project"), as of and for the year ended August 31, 2005, as listed in the table of
contents. Texas Student Housing Corporation-The Ridge at North Texas 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 1, the financial statements present only the Project and do not
purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of Texas Student Housing
Corporation as of August 31, 2005, and the changes in its financial position and cash
flows, where applicable, for the year then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the business type activities of the Texas Student
Housing Corporation-The Ridge at North Texas at August 31, 2005 and the results
of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Texas
Student Housing -The Ridge at North Texas will continue as a going concern. As
discussed in Note 1 and Note 6 to the financial statements, the Project is in default on
its Bonds and Bond Holders may choose to accelerate the bonds, which raises
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans in regard to these matters are discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management's discussion and analysis on pages 3 through 6 are 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 made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules on pages
20 to 21 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part
of the basic financial statements of the Texas Student Housing Corporation -The
Ridge at North Texas. The 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.

and maintenance as compared to budget.

and $2,466,250 in restricted cash.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET
Leases at Denton 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, 2006 is
forecast at 94 %. However rental rates, again due to competitive pressures will not see a large
increase. This is exacerbated by the fact that the University ofNorth Texas does not allow
Freshmen to live in off campus housing.

TEXAS STUDENT HOUSING CORPORATION-THE RIDGE AT NORTH TEXAS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE1. GENERALSTATEMENT
Texas Student Housing Corporation -The Ridge at North Texas (the "Project"), a Texas
non-profit organization, was incorporated on May 17, 2001, a component unit of the Town
of Westlake, Texas (the "Town") pursuant to Section 53.35(b) of the Texas Education Code,
as amended (the "Act"). The Project's primary purpose is to purchase, own and operate a
student housing facility known as Texas Student Housing Corporation-The Ridge at North
Texas.
The Project was purchased from Jefferson Commons-Denton, L.P. on July 17, 2001. The
Project obtained its financing through the issuance of Texas Student Housing Corporation-
Denton Project Texas Student Housing Revenue Bonds (University of North Texas Project),
Series 2001A and Subordinate Series 2001 B (the "Bonds"). The Bonds were issued
through a Trust Indenture (the "Trust Indenture") by and between the Corporation and The
Bank of New York (the "Trustee"). The Series 2001A and Subordinate Series 2001 B bonds
were issued in the face amounts of $29,105,000 and $5,250,000, respectively. The
accompanying financial statements present the operations of the Project, whose revenue
streams are pledged for the bonds described herein.
The Corporation was also established to acquire educational facilities and housing facilities
to be used by the students, faculty and staff of institutions of higher education and facilities
incidental, subordinate or related thereto or appropriate within the State of Texas.
The Project was operated and managed under the terms of the (a) Property Management
and Leasing Agreement by and between the Corporation and JPI Campus Quarters
management, L.P. ("JPI") and (b) the Asset management Agreement by and between the
Corporation and JPI Apartment Management, L.P., up until September 30, 2004. The
Project subsequent to September 30, 2004 is managed and operated by Asset Campus
Housing under the terms of a Property Management and Leasing Agreement.
The 2005 financial statements were prepared assuming the project will continue as a going
concern. The Project's Bonds payable are considered to be in default by the Trustee which
gives the bond holders the right to 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.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the Project's significant accounting policies consistently applied in the
preparation of the accon')Panying financial statements follows:
Reporting Entity
For financial reporting purposes, management has considered all potential component
units. The decision to include a potential component unit in the reporting entity was
made by applying the criteria set forth in GASB Statement No. 14 as amended by GASB
statement No. 39. The criteria used is as follows:
Page 12
TEXAS STUDENT HOUSING CORPORATION-THE RIDGE AT NORTH TEXAS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -CONTINUED
Reporting Entity-continued
Financial Accountability -The primary government is deemed to be financially
accountable if it appoints a voting majority of the organization's governing body
and ( 1) it is able to impose its will on that organization or (2) there is a potential for
the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific
financial burdens on, the primary government. Additionally, the primary
government may be financially accountable if an organization is fiscally dependent
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.
No entities met the above requirements to be considered component units. In
addition, the Project is not a component unit of any other governmental entity.
Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The Project uses the "economic resources" measurement focus. This means that all
assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, and expenses are accounted for using the accrual
basis of accounting.
Revenue is recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when they are
incurred. In applying the requirements of GASB Statement No. 20, the Project has
chosen to apply all applicable GASB pronouncements as well as Financial Accounting
Standards Board pronouncements issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless
those pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements.
Income Taxes
The Project is an instrumentality of the Town and, therefore, its income is not subject to
federal income taxation pursuant to Section 115 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Project considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less
when purchased to be cash equivalents. At August 31, 2005, the Project had no such
investments included in cash and cash equivalents.
In addition, the Project has restricted cash of $2,466,250 that is held by the Trustee for
the Bonds Payable under provisions of the Indenture. During the year ended August 31,
2005 the investment income received from cash was $160,702. See Note 3 for risk
disclosures and breakdown of restricted cash accounts.
Page 13
TEXAS STUDENT HOUSING CORPORATION-THE RIDGE AT NORTH TEXAS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-CONTINUED
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 certain reported amounts in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates
and assumptions.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at amounts management expects to collect from
outstanding balances. Management writes-off uncollectible amounts through a reduction
to revenue and a credit to accounts receivable based on its assessment of the
outstanding receivables. At year end management assesses the accounts receivable
balance and establishes a valuation allowance based on historical experience and an
evaluation of the outstanding balances. An allowance of $21857 has been provided at
August 31 I 2005.
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs associated with the issuance of bonds are deferred and amortized to interest
expense over the terms of the bonds.
Advertising Costs
All advertising costs are expensed as they are incurred. Advertising costs for the twelve-
month period ending August 31 I 2005 were approximately $50,000.
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 or other major
property improvements.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
as follows:
Building
Furniture and fixtures
30 years
3 to 20 years

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.
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 two accounts, the Series 2001A and the Series
2001 B accounts.

NOTE 3. CASH AND INVESTMENTS-CONTINUED
Restricted Cash -continued
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 Denton Property, which
the Project is obligated to pay pursuant to the Trust Indenture and (b) transferred to the
bond fund to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds to the extent there are insufficient
monies in the bond fund.
Surplus Fund-The trustee shall deposit any remaining amount in the revenue fund into
the surplus fund. Amounts on deposit in the surplus fund will be released to the Project
if certain release tests are satisfied. If the release tests are not satisfied, the Trustee will
retain the monies on deposit in the surplus fund.
Trustee Fee Fund -Amounts are deposited in the trustee fee fund on a monthly basis
and are intended to pay the fees to the Trustee at year end.
Series A Principal Fund -Amounts in the Series A principal fund represent sinking
fund payments set aside for repayment of the principal balance on the Series A Bonds.
Series B Principal Fund -Amounts in the Series B principal fund represent sinking
fund payments set aside for repayment of the principal balance on the Series B Bonds.
Operating Reserve Fund -Amounts in the operating reserve fund may be transferred
to the property manager to fund operations if the transfer from the revenue fund is not
sufficient to pay operating expenses. Amounts may also be transferred to the Bond
Fund to pay principal and interest on the Bonds; to the extent there are insufficient
monies in the Bond Fund on any interest payment date.
Debt Service Reserve 2001A Account-The amounts on deposit in this account are to
be used for the purpose of paying principal and interest on the Series 2001A Bonds as
they become due in the event there should be insufficient funds in the Bond Fund.
Debt Service Reserve 2001 B Account -The amounts on deposit in this account are to
be used for the purpose of paying principal and interest on the Series 2001 B Bonds as
they become due in the event there should be insufficient funds in the Bond Fund.
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.
Disclosure Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the
fair value of an instrument. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the
Page 16
TEXAS STUDENT HOUSING CORPORATION-THE RIDGE AT NORTH TEXAS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3. CASH AND INVESTMENTS-CONTINUED
Disclosure Relating to Interest Rate Risk-continued
greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. Texas Student
Housing Corporation-The Ridge at North Texas is not significantly exposed to interest
rate risk as all investments earn a variable rate.
Disclosure Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation
to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a
nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Public Funds Investment act
has a minimum rating that is required for investments. Texas Student Housing
Corporation-The Ridge at North Texas holds all of its cash and investments with the
bond trustee and commercial banks.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of Texas Student Housing Corporation-The Ridge at North Texas
is subject to the indenture agreement of the Bonds. As of August 31, 2005, Texas
Student Housing Corporation-The Ridge at North Texas held all of its restricted cash
balances with the trustee, which represents 81% of the total cash and investments held
at August 31, 2005.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository
financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be
able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The
custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the
counterparty to a transaction, a 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

NOTE 6. 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 July 1, 2001. The Bonds are payable
solely from the revenues generated by the Denton Property and are secured by the
revenues pledged and assigned under the terms of the Trust Indenture. Interest rates on
the bonds range from 5.00% to 11.00% and are payable semi-annually on July 1 and
January 1 of each year thereafter.
At August 31, 2005, the Project was not in compliance with certain covenants of the
Indenture including insufficient funds in some of the required funds discussed in Note 2 and
the fixed charge ratio. Upon certain events of default either the trustee, or owners of not
less than 25% in aggregate principal of the bonds then outstanding, may declare the
principal and all interest then due to be immediately due and payable. Generally accepted
accounting principles require that if the events of default occur, the liability should be
disclosed as current on the financial statements. In addition, all required principal payments
on the Series B bonds had not been made at August 31, 2005.

SCHEDULE II-CERTIFICATE OF THE FIXED CHARGES COVERAGE RATIO
We are providing this letter, as required by the Trust Indenture by and between Texas Student
Housing Corporation -The Ridge at North Texas ("Project") and the Bank of New York
("Trustee"), dated July 1, 2001, as amended on March 22, 2005 relating to Texas Student
Housing Corporation -Denton Project Texas Student Housing Revenue Bonds (University of
North Testing Project) the "Indenture", to certify the Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio as of August
31, 2005.
The Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio is defined in the Indenture as the ratio of Revenue Available
for Fixed Charges to Fixed Charges. Further, fixed charges are defined in the Indenture as the
sum of all cash outflows related to the Project that the Issuer cannot avoid without violating
long-term contractual or legal obligations (those obligations which extend for a period greater
than one year), including, but not limited to, (i) interest on Indebtedness other than Short-Term
Indebtedness, and (ii) scheduled payments of principal on Indebtedness other than Short-Term
Indebtedness, provided that Maximum Annual Debt Service shall be used for purposes of
computing (i) and (ii) above.
The audited financial statements indicate revenue available for fixed charges for the year ended
August 31, 2005 to be $1,955,989.
Based on the above revenues and fixed charges, we calculate that the Fixed Charges Coverage
Ratio as of August 31, 2005 to be .56, which is based on one year of operations and is not in
compliance with the Indenture.
