INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Texas Student Housing Authority
Westlake, Texas
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Texas Student Housing Authority (the
"Authority") (a component unit of the Town of Westlake), as of and for the year ended August 31, 2010,
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 31,2010, and the respective
changes in its financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The management's discussion and analysis on pages 2 through 3 is not a required part of the
basic financial statements but is supplemental information required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted
principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the
required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion
on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the Authority's basic financial statements. The accompanying supplemental
information on page 11 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the
basic financial statements. The supplemental information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As staff of the Texas Student Housing Authority (the "Authority''), we offer the readers of the
Authority's financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the
Authority for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010. We encourage readers to consider the information
presented herein in conjunction with the Authority's financial statements. The Authority is a component
unit of the Town of Westlake and is considered a governmental entity; accordingly, the Authority has
adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 34, Basic Financial Statements-and
Management's Discussion and Analysis-for State and Local Governments has been implemented. The
reader should note that this financial report addresses only the financial condition of the Authority itself.
Properties managed by the Authority are reported individually by property under separate cover.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The assets of the Authority exceeded its liabilities at the close of the fiscal year by
$525,450, an increase of $57,270 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 $529,092, an
increase of $72,948 over the prior fiscal year.
• All revenues are generated from management of the properties and scholarship
activity of the authority and totaled $895,146. Total expenses incurred were
$837,876.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Authority's basic financial
statements. The Authority's report consists of three parts, Management's Discussion and Analysis, the
basic financial statements, and notes to financial statements. The basic financial statements include a
statement of net assets, statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net assets, a statement of cash
flows and supplemental schedules.
The statement of net assets presents information on the Authority's assets and liabilities with the
difference between the two reported as net assets.
The statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net assets accounts for all of the Authority's
revenues and expenses regardless of when cash is paid or received.
The statement of cash flows reflects cash inflows and outflows by operating, noncapital financing and
capital related financing activities during the year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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
It is anticipated that fiscal year 2010/2011 will end with less income to the Authority as we have
increased scholarships at our facility in College Station.
CONTACTING THE AUTHORITY'S FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
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

TEXAS STUDENT HOUSING AUTHORITY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2010
I. GENERAL STATEMENT
Texas Student Housing Authority (the "Authority''), a higher education authority, was established
on January 23, 1995, as a duly constituted authority of the Town of Westlake (the "Town"), Texas,
pursuant to Section 53.11 of Chapter 53 of the Texas Education Code, as amended. The
Authority's purpose among other things is to acquire, finance, and operate student housing
facilities and to provide scholarships to students from high schools and community colleges in
Texas. The Authority operates several student housing projects in Texas. The accompanying
financial statements do not present the projects, but the scholarship administration of the Authority.
II. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the Authority's significant accounting policies consistently applied m the
preparation ofthe 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 fmancial
burdens on, the primary government. Additionally, the primary government may be
fmancially 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.
(continued)

II. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
B. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
Measurement focus refers to what is being measured; basis of accounting refers to when
revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial
statements. The Authority uses the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual
basis of accounting. The economic resources measurement focus means all assets and
liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) are included on the statement of net assets and the
operating statement present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in net total assets
under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned, and expenses
are recognized at the time the liability is incurred.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1,
1989, generally are followed in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial
statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Governments also have the option of following
subsequent private-sector guidance for their business-type activities and Enterprise Funds,
subject to this same limitation. The government has elected not to follow subsequent private-
sector guidance.
C. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity
Income Taxes
The Authority is an instrumentality of the Town and, therefore, its income is not subject to
federal income taxation pursuant to Section 115 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Authority considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less
when purchased to be cash equivalents. At August 31, 2010, the Authority had no such
investments included in cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at amounts management expects to collect from outstanding
balances. At year-end, management assesses the accounts receivable balance and establishes
a valuation allowance based on historical experience and an evaluation of the outstanding
balances. As of August 31, 2010, 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.
8
III. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS
A. Cash and Investments
The Public Funds Investment Act (Government Code Chapter 2256) contains specific
provisions in the areas of investment practices, management reports and establishment of
appropriate policies relating to a governmental entity's cash and investments.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair
value of an instrument. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the
sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. Texas Student Housing
Authority is not significantly exposed to interest rate risk as all investments earn a variable rate.
Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to
the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization. The Public Funds Investment Act has a minimum
rating that is required for investments. Texas Student Housing Authority holds all of its cash
and investments with commercial banks.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Texas Student Housing Authority holds no investments at August 31, 2010, and is not
exposed to concentration of credit risk.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository
financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able
to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial
credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a
transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral
securities that are in the possession of another party. The Public Funds Investment Act does
not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk
for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The Public
Funds Investment Act requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or
local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a
depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The
market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least the bank
balances less FDIC insurance at all times.
As of August 31, 2010, the Authority's cash balances totaled $529,092 (bank balance of
$527,591). Of the bank balance, $250,000 was covered by federal depository insurance
while the remaining amount was collateralized by a Bank Deposit Guarantee Bond from the
Authority's depository in the amount of$277,591.

III. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (Continued)
B. Net Assets
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, 2010, the Authority has no restricted net assets or capital assets.
All net assets are unrestricted.
C. Concentrations
The Authority services scholarships for Texas students attending Texas higher education
facilities and is dependent upon the geographic areas and the higher education facilities in
Texas.
D. Related Party Transactions
The Town of Westlake charges an oversight fee to the Authority. The fee of $0 is included
in expenses at August 31,2010. The Authority also received revenues of$159,140 related to
its oversight of the various properties.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
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, 2010, 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,
2010, 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,
2010, 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 Authority—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 6 is not a required part of the

on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
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, 2010. 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 2010.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The liabilities of the Project exceeded its assets at the close of the fiscal year by
$15,347,956. This is an increase of$1,352,073 over the prior year.
• Operating revenue of$3,614,428 is $252 more than budget, and operating expense is
$86,727 less than budget, not including depreciation and amortization.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, the total cash balances were $508,265 in
unrestricted cash and$607,739 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.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE PROJECT'S FUNDS
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 Trust Indenture. As of August 31, 2010, these balances were
as follows:
Bond Fund,Series 2001A Senior Interest $ 82,804
Bond Fund,Series 2001B Sub B 13,000
Bond Fund, Series 2001C Sub C 16
Debt Service Reserve 2001A Senior 299,693
Debt Service Reserve 2001B Sub B 862
Repair and Replacement Fund 1,313
Minimum Scholarship Fund 1,943
Trustee Fee Fund 3
Tax and Insurance Fund 55,870
Senior Bonds Principal 149,297
Sub B Bond Principal 2,938
Total $ 607,739
Nonrestricted cash. Nonrestricted cash is available for general use of the Project.
Bonds payable. As of August 31, 2009, the following amounts on the Series A, B and C Bonds were
owed:
Series A $ 30,150,000
Series B 2,365,000
Series C 3,000,000
Less discounts ( 1,281,821)
Total $ 34,233,179
For the fiscal year ending August 31, 2010, the total principal and interest payment is calculated at
$2,264,027. A total of$610,001 in principal was paid during fiscal year 2010.
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 .68 and .64, respectively, and is thus
technically in default of the indenture.
5
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 10-month leases exist. These leases do bring a monthly premium over the
12-month leases. Occupancy for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2011, indicates a substantial increase
to 100%; however, rental rates, again due to competitive pressures, will not see an increase.

TEXAS STUDENT HOUSING AUTHORITY—
BALLPARK AUSTIN PROJECT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31,2010
I. GENERAL STATEMENT
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 2010 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 criterion used is as follows:
(continued)
10
II. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
A. 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) 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.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1,
1989, generally are followed in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial
statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Governments also have the option of following
subsequent private-sector guidance for their business-type activities and Enterprise Funds,
subject to this same limitation. The government has elected not to follow subsequent private-
sector guidance.
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.
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, 2010, the Project had no such
investments included in cash and cash equivalents.
In addition, the Project has restricted cash of $607,739 that is held by the trustee for the
bonds payable under provisions of the trust indenture. During the year ended August 31,
2010, the investment income received from cash was $315. See Note III for risk disclosures
and breakdown of restricted cash accounts.
(continued)
11
II. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
C. Assets.Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity (Continued)
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at amounts management expects to collect from outstanding
balances. Management writes off uncollectible amounts through a reduction to revenue and a
credit to accounts receivable based on its assessment of the outstanding receivables. At year-
end, management assesses the accounts receivable balance and establishes a valuation
allowance based on historical experience and an evaluation of the outstanding balances. As
of August 31, 2010, management has determined that all accounts doubtful of collection have
been charged to operations and an allowance is not required.
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 31,2010, were approximately$78,466.
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
follows:
Estimated
Asset Class Useful Lives
Building 30
Furniture,fixtures and equipment 3 -20

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 three accounts, the
Series 2001A, 2001B and the Series 2001C accounts.

III. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (Continued)
A. 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 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 2001B 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

A. Cash and Investments (Continued)
Restricted Cash (Continued)
Minimum Scholarship Fund—The amounts on deposit in this account represent the
minimum annual scholarship amount determined as of the most recent Education
Funds Transfer date.
Tax and Insurance Fund— The amounts on deposit in this account represent 1/12t`
of the ad valorem property taxes, if any, and 1/12th of the annual premiums for
insurance due,determined in accordance with the annual budget.
The Public Funds Investment Act (Government Code Chapter 2256) contains specific provisions
in the areas of investment practices, management reports and establishment of appropriate
policies relating to a governmental entity's cash and investments.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of
an instrument. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the sensitivity of its
fair value to changes in market interest rates. Texas Student Housing Authority—Ballpark Austin
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 Authority — Ballpark Austin
Project holds all of its cash and investments with the bond trustee and commercial banks.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of Texas Student Housing Authority —Ballpark Austin Project is subject
to the indenture agreement of the bonds. As of August 31, 2010, the Project held all of its
restricted cash balances with the trustee, which represents 54% of the total cash and investments
held at August 31,2010.
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, 2010, $258,265 of the Project's $508,265 bank balance was collateralized
with a Bank Deposit Guarantee Bond from the Project's depository. The remaining balance,

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.

C. Bonds Payable (Continued)
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, 2010:

III. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (Continued)
D. Net Assets (Continued)
Restricted for Debt Service 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 $180,481 for the year
ended August 31, 2010, with approximately$14,762 due at August 31, 2010, and included in
accounts payable.
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, 2010,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.
H. Prior Period Adjustment
The Project recorded a prior period adjustment to remove liabilities left over from the prior
management company. These liabilities were no longer enforceable against the current
management and therefore no longer considered a liability. The adjustment resulted in an
increase in beginning net assets of$607,408.

To the Board of Directors
Texas Student Housing Authority—
Cambridge at College Station
Westlake, Texas
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Texas Student Housing Authority —
Cambridge at College Station (the "Project"), as of and for the year ended August 31, 2010, which
collectively comprise the Project's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. Texas
Student Housing Authority — Cambridge at College Station 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,
2010, 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 — Cambridge at College Station as of
August 31, 2010, 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 Authority — Cambridge at College Station will continue as a going concern. As discussed in
Note II, 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 — Cambridge at
College Station'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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As staff of the Texas Student Housing Authority (the "Authority") — Cambridge College Station (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, 2010. 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 2010.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The liabilities of the Project exceeded its assets at the close of the fiscal year by
$7,451,364 due primarily to a decrease in net assets of 1,286,194 .
• Major components of the expense overage were $1,018,101 in depreciation/
amortization, and$2,755,846 in interest expense.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, the total cash balances were $3,256,674 in
unrestricted cash and$1,870,127 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 C and D certificates
which gives the senior certificate holder the right to accelerate. They are considered an event of default
by the Trustee, which gives the senior certificate holders the right to accelerate and demand payment of
the certificates in fall. 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.
3
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.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE PROJECT'S FUNDS
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, 2009, these
balances were as follows:
Replacement Fund $ 159,948
Series A Reserve Fund 682,275
Series B Reserve Fund 512,400
Series A Interest Account 98,893
Series A Principal Account 105,000
Series B Interest Account 29,036
Series B Principal Fund 102,083
Transaction Costs Payment Fund 32,650
Utility Deposits 5,000
Emergency Fund 75,000
Current Receipts Fund 67,842
Total $ 1,870,127
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 December 1, 2004,by issuing debt certificates in the following classes:
Series A $ 16,900,000
Series B 4,350,000
Series C 4,820,000
Series D 5,380,000
Total $ 31,450,000
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 1.1. At this time, the
Project has only realized a ratio of 1.05 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.
4
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET
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 1.05, all of the A and B certificate holders received
all proceeds due them. The 2009/2010 budget clearly indicates that operating income will be sufficient
to again service the A and B certificates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31,2010
I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Operations
Texas Student Housing Authority — Cambridge at College Station (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.
Cambridge at College Station 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.
Cambridge at College Station 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:
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.
(continued)
9
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.
B. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
Measurement focus refers to what is being measured; basis of accounting refers to when
revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial
statements. The Authority uses the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual
basis of accounting. The economic resources measurement focus means all assets and
liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) are included on the statement of net assets and the
operating statement present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in net total assets
under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned, and expenses
are recognized at the time the liability is incurred.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1,
1989, generally are followed in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial
statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Governments also have the option of following
subsequent private-sector guidance for their business-type activities and Enterprise Funds,
subject to this same limitation. The government has elected not to follow subsequent private-
sector guidance.
C. Capitalization,Depreciation and Impairment Policies
Property and Depreciation
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
(continued)
10
L
I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
D. Assets,Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity
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.
Concentration of Credit Risk
As of and during the year ended August 31, 2010, the Project had cash deposits with
financial institutions in excess of the $250,000 amount insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. Any amounts over the FDIC limit are insured with pledged securities
by the Project's depository.
Taxes
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
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.
Advertising Costs
All advertising costs are expensed as they are incurred. Advertising costs for the year ended
August 31, 2010, were approximately$122,034.
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.
11

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% $ 31,450,000
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, 2010:
Amounts
Beginning Ending Due Within
Balance Increases Decreases Balance One Year
Installment note $ 31,775,000 $ - $ 325,000 $ 31,450,000 $ 31,450,000
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 $ 16,900,000
B 4,350,000
C 4,820,000
D 5,380,000
Total $ 31,450,000

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, 2010, 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.
C. Capital Assets
Capital asset activity for the Project for the year ended August 31, 2010, was as follows:

II. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (Continued)
D. Geography and Concentration
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, 2010, the total
funds available for debt service were less than the accrued interest due at August
31,2010. As a result,net assets restricted for debt service is shown at zero.
Unrestricted—available for general use of the Project without restriction.
F. Management Fees/Related Party Transactions
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
$280,800 for the period ended August 31, 2010.
Administration and marketing expenses include approximately $102,087 for administrative
fees earned by Texas Student Housing Authority. There were no administrative fees
included in accounts payable at August 31, 2010.
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.
(continued)
15
II. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (Continued)
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 2010 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.
I. Prior Period Adjustment
The Project recorded a prior period adjustment to remove liabilities left over from the prior
management company. These liabilities were no longer enforceable against the current
management and therefore no longer considered a liability. The adjustment resulted in an
increase in beginning net assets of$528,960.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Texas Student Housing Authority—
Town Lake Austin Project
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, 2010, 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,
2010, 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, 2010, 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 Authority—Town Lake 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 5 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 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As staff of the Texas Student Housing Authority (the "Authority") — Town Lake 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, 2010. 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 2010.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The liabilities of the Project exceeded its assets at the close of the fiscal year by
$5,372,345, an increase of$1,080,655 over the prior year.
• Operating revenue of$2,811,265 is $98,302 less than budget; and operating expenses
were $20,786 more than budget.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, the total cash balances were $285,397 in
unrestricted cash and $359,716 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 a supplemental schedule.
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.

$1,497,038. A total of$239,248 in principal was paid during 2010.
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 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 100%. However,
rental rates, again due to competitive pressures will not see a large increase.

TEXAS STUDENT HOUSING AUTHORITY—
TOWN LAKE AUSTIN PROJECT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31,2010
I. GENERAL STATEMENT
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 $5,670,000, 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."
The 2010 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 not making full
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:
(continued)
9
II. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
A. 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) 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.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1,
1989, generally are followed in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial
statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Governments also have the option of following
subsequent private-sector guidance for their business-type activities and Enterprise Funds,
subject to this same limitation. The government has elected not to follow subsequent private-
sector guidance.
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.
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, 2010, the Project had no such
investments included in cash and cash equivalents.

II. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
C. Assets,Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity (Continued)
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at amounts management expects to collect from outstanding
balances. Management writes off uncollectible amounts through a reduction to revenue and a
credit to accounts receivable based on its assessment of the outstanding receivables. At year-
end, management assesses the accounts receivable balance and establishes a valuation
allowance based on historical experience and an evaluation of the outstanding balances. As
of August 31, 2010,management has determined that all accounts doubtful of collection have
been charged to operations and an allowance is not required.
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, 2010, were $62,327.
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:
Estimated
Asset Class Useful Lives
Building 30
Furniture,fixtures and equipment 3-20

The Public Funds Investment Act (Government Code Chapter 2256) contains specific
provisions in the areas of investment practices, management reports and establishment of
appropriate policies relating to a governmental entity's cash and investments.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair
value of an instrument. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the
sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. Texas Student Housing
Authority — Town Lake Austin 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 Authority—Town Lake Austin
Project holds all of its cash and investments with the Bond Trustee and commercial banks.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of Texas Student Housing Authority — Town Lake Austin Project is
subject to the indenture agreement of the Bonds. As of August 31, 2010, the Project held all
of its restricted cash balances with the Trustee, which represents 56% of the total cash and
investments held at August 31, 2010.
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 parry. 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, 2010,the Project has unrestricted cash of$285,397 (bank balance $295,366).
Of the bank balance, $250,000 was covered by federal depository insurance while the
remaining $45,366 was collateralized by a Bank Deposit Guarantee Bond from the Project's
depository in the amount of$2,700,000.

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 November 1, 2002. 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
7.76% to 8.69% and are payable semi-annually on July 1 and January 1 of each year
thereafter.

D. Net Assets (Continued)
Restricted for Debt Service 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.
Unrestricted Net Assets consists of the portion of net assets after invested in
capital assets, net of related debt and restricted for debt service has been satisfied.
E. Management Fees
The Project paid JPI property and asset management fees for the Project through February

that analysis, the Project may incur a liability for interest earned in accordance with Internal
Revenue Service regulations.
H. Prior Period Adjustment
The Project recorded a prior period adjustment to remove liabilities left over from the prior
management company. These liabilities were no longer enforceable against the current
management and therefore no longer considered a liability. The adjustment resulted in an
increase to beginning net assets of$158,384.
