INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Texas Student Housing Corporation—
The Ridge at North Texas Project
Westlake, Texas
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Texas Student Housing Corporation—
The Ridge at North Texas Project (the "Project"), as of and for the year ended August 31, 2009, which
collectively comprise the Project's basic financial statements 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 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.
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 Corporation as of August 31,
2009, 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 Corporation— The Ridge at North Texas Project as
of August 31, 2009, and the 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 — The Ridge at North Texas 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 bondholders
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 5 are not a required part of the
basic financial statements but are 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 basic financial statements
that collectively comprise. the Project's basic financial statements. The accompanying supplemental
information on pages 19 and 20 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 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As staff of the Texas Student Housing Corporation (the "Corporation") — The Ridge at North Texas
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, 2009. 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 2009.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The liabilities of the Project exceeded its assets at the close of the fiscal year by
$10,362,341, an increase of$1,634,582 over the prior year. The primary reason for
this increase in debt service payments.
• Operating revenue of$4,306,349 is $293,549 greater than budget. Operating expense
is $203,668 greater than budget. Major components of the expense variance were
administration,utilities, and turnover expenses as compared to budget.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, the total cash balances were $378,062 in
unrestricted cash and $2,490,522 in restricted cash.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.

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.

Total $ 29,410,221
For the fiscal year ending August 31, 2010, the total principal and interest payment is calculated at
$2,601,919. A total of$540,000 in principal was paid during 2009.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET
Leases at the Project are primarily 12-month leases, however, due to competitive and market conditions,
a relatively minor number of 6 and 10-month leases exist. These leases do bring a monthly premium
over the 12-month leases. Occupancy for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2010, forecasts at 85%.
Rental rates will see a small increase. This is exacerbated by the fact that University of North Texas
does not allow freshmen to live in off-campus housing.

TEXAS STUDENT HOUSING CORPORATION—
THE RIDGE AT NORTH TEXAS PROJECT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31,2009
I. GENERAL STATEMENT
Texas Student Housing Corporation—The Ridge at North Texas (the "Project"), a Texas nonprofit
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 1, 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 2001B (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 2001B 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 2009 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.

II. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the Project's significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation
of the accompanying financial statements follows:
A. Reporting Entity
For financial reporting purposes, management has considered all potential component units.
The decision to include a potential component unit in the reporting entity was made by
applying the criteria set forth in GASB Statement No. 14 as amended by GASB Statement
No. 39. The criteria used is as follows:
Financial 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.
B. 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.
C. Assets,Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity
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.

II. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
A. Reporting Entity(Continued)
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, 2009, the Project had no such
investments included in cash and cash equivalents.
In addition, the Project has restricted cash of$2,490,522 that is held by the Trustee for the
bonds payable under provisions of the Trust Indenture. During the year ended August 31,
2009, the investment income received from cash was $52,395. See Note III for risk
disclosures and breakdown of restricted cash accounts.
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$2,857 has been provided at August 31, 2009.
Deferred Financing Costs
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, 2009,were approximately$110,328.
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.

II. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
C. Assets,Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity(Continued)
Capital Assets (Continued)
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.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as
follows:
Estimated
Asset Class Useful Lives
Building 30 years
Furniture and fixtures 3-20 years
III. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS
A. Cash and Investments

III. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (Continued)
A. Cash and Investments (Continued)
Restricted Cash (Continued)
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 2001B 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 Project,
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.
(continued)

III. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (Continued)
A. Cash and Investments (Continued)
Restricted Cash (Continued)
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 playing 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 2001E 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.
The Public Funds Investment Act (Government Code Chapter 2256) contains specific
provisions in the areas of investment practices, management reports and establishment of
appropriate policies relating to a governmental entity's cash and investments.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair
value of an instrument. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the
sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. Texas Student Housing
Corporation— The Ridge at North Texas Project is not significantly exposed to interest rate
risk as all investments earn a variable rate.
Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to
the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization. The Public Funds Investment Act has a minimum
rating that is required for investments. Texas Student Housing Corporation — The Ridge at
North Texas Project holds all of its cash and investments with the bond Trustee and
commercial banks.

III. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (Continued)
A. Cash and Investments (Continued)
Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of Texas Student Housing Corporation — The Ridge at North Texas
Project is subject to the indenture agreement of the bonds. As of August 31, 2009, the
Project held all of its restricted cash balances with the Trustee, which represents 78% of the
total cash and investments held at August 31, 2009.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository
financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able
to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial
credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a
transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral
securities that are in the possession of another party. The Public Funds Investment Act does
not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk
for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The Public
Funds Investment Act requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or
local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a
depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The
market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least the bank
balances less FDIC insurance at all times.
As of August 31, 2009, the Project has unrestricted cash of $689,703 (bank balance,
$491,570). Of the bank balances, $250,000 was covered by federal depository insurance
while the remaining $241,570 was uncollateralized. The Project has a Bank Deposit
Guarantee Bond from the Project's depository in the amount of$2,700,000.
B. Property Management Advance and Management Fees
As of August 31, 2009, the Project has recorded a liability to JPI for amounts received of
approximately $499,737. These advances have been made to the Project according to the
terms of the Agreements.
Further, the Agreement requires interest to accrue on the advances at the "Prime Rate" as
published in The Wall Street Journal, plus 100 basis points (4.25% at August 31, 2009). As
of August 31, 2009, the financial statements include accrued interest related to the Property

the terms of the Trust Indenture dated July 1, 2001. The Bonds are payable solely from 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 5.00% to 11.00% and are payable semi-annually on July 1 and
January 1 of each year thereafter.

D. Bonds Payable (Continued)
At August 31, 2009, the Project was not in compliance with certain covenants of the
Indenture including insufficient funds in some of the required funds discussed in Note II 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, 2009.
The following is a summary of long-term debt transactions of the Project for the year ended
August 31, 2009:

SCHEDULE II-CERTIFICATE OF THE FIXED CHARGES COVERAGE RATIO
FOR THE YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31,2009
We are providing this letter, as required by the Trust Indenture by and between Texas Student Housing
Corporation — The Ridge at North Texas (the "Project") and The Bank of New York (the "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 Texas project) the
"Indenture,"to certify the fixed charges coverage ratio as of August 31, 2009.
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, 2009,to be $2,830,513.
Based on the above revenues and fixed charges, we calculate that the fixed charges coverage ratio as of
August 31, 2009, to be 1.08, which is based on one year of operations and is not in compliance with the
Indenture.
