To the Board of Trustees
Westlake Academy
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of Westlake Academy for the year ended August 31, 2008, and
have issued our report thereon dated November 10, 2008. Professional standards require that we
provide you with the following information related to our audit.
Our Responsibilities under U. S. Generally Accepted Auditini;_Standards and
Government Auditin,-Standards
As stated in our engagement letter dated September 10, 2008, our responsibility, as described by
professional standards, is to express opinions about whether the financial statements prepared by
management with your oversight are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with U. S.
generally accepted accounting principles. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or
management of your responsibilities.
Significant Audit Findings
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The
significant accounting policies used by Westlake Academy are described in Note I to the financial
statements. No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not
changed during 2008. We noted no transactions entered into by the governmental unit during the year
for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. There are no significant transactions
that have been recognized in the financial statements in a different period than when the transaction
occurred.

Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management
and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and
assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their
significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them
may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimate affecting the financial
statements was:
Management's estimate is foundation revenue receivable. We evaluated the key factors
and assumptions used to develop the receivable in determining that it is reasonable in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and
completing our audit.
Audit Adjustments
For the purposes of this letter, professional standards define an adjustment as a proposed
correction of the financial statements that, in our judgment, may not have been detected except through
our auditing procedures. An audit adjustment may or may not indicate matters that could have a
significant effect on the Academy's financial reporting process (that is, cause future financial statements
to be materially misstated). See attached schedule for a complete listing of all adjusting journal entries.
The Academy has approved all proposed audit adjustments. There were no audit adjustments that were
not recorded by the Academy.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a
financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could
be significant to the financial statements or the auditors' report. We are pleased to report that no such
disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management_Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the
management representation letter dated November 10, 2008.
t
2
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and
accounting matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a consultation
involves application of an accounting principle to the governmental unit's financial statements or a
determination of the type of auditors' opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our
professional standards -require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the
consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other
accountants.
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and
auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the governmental unit's auditors.
However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our
responses were not a condition to our retention.
This information is intended solely for the use of the Board of Trustees and management of
Westlake Academy and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Board of Trustees
Westlake Academy
s
Members of the Board:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the discretely presented
component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Westlake Academy (the "Academy") as
of and for the year ended August 31, 2008,which collectively comprise the Academy's basic financial statements as listed in
the table of contents. These financial statements ate the responsibility of the Westlake Academy's management. Our
responsibility is to express opinions 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
and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States. 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 opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective
financial position of the governmental activities,the discretely presented component unit, each major fund and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the Westlake Academy as of August 31,2008, and the respective changes in financial position
for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 10, 2008, on
our consideration of the Academy's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of-its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe
the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to
provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an
-audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our
audit.
The Management's Discussion and Analysis and budgetary comparison information on pages 4 through 11 and 26,
are not a required part of the basic financial statements,but are supplementary information required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally
of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary
information. However,we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the basic financial statements that collectively
comprise the Westlake Academy's basic financial statements. The combining fund statements are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining fund financial statements
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Component Unit
The government-wide financial statements also present the activity of Westlake Academy Foundation, a discretely presented
component unit. The Foundation was organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes and provides funds to
help support the Academy. During 2008, the Foundation contributed $394,571 to the Academy to enhance educational
opportunities.
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the Academy's most significant funds not the
Academy as a whole. Funds are accounting devices that the Academy uses to keep track of specific sources of funding and
spending for particular purposes.
• Some funds are required by State law and by bond covenants.
• The Board of Trustees establishes other funds to control and manage money for particular purposes or
to show that it is properly using certain taxes and grants.
Below are the three types of funds. The Academy had only"Governmental Funds"and"Fiduciary Funds" for the year ended
August 31,2008.
• Governmental funds Most of the Academy's basic services are included in governmental funds,
which focus on(1) how cash and other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash flow in
and out and (2) the balances left at year-end that are available for spending. Consequently, the
governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view that helps you determine whether
there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the
Academy's programs. Because this information does not encompass the additional long-term focus of
the government-wide statements, we provide additional information at the bottom of the governmental
funds statement or on the e subsequent page, explain the relationship q p g , p p(or differences)between them.
• Fiduciary funds—Some schools are the trustee, or fiduciary, for certain funds. It is also responsible
for other assets that—because of a trust arrangement—can be used only for the trust beneficiaries.
These schools are responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are used for their
intended purposes. All of these fiduciary activities are reported in a separate statement of fiduciary net
assets and a statement of changes in fiduciary net assets. These activities are excluded from the
school's government-wide financial statements because they cannot use these assets to finance their
operations.
• Proprietary funds--(None at August 31, 2008). Services for which the Academy would charge
customers a fee are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds, like the government-
wide statements,provide both long and short-term financial information.
• Internal Service funds to report activities that provide supplies and services for the Academy's
other programs and activities–such as a School's Self Insurance Fund or Print Shop.
G
Changes in net assets. The Academy's total revenues were $3,247,934. A significant portion, 77%, of the Academy's
revenue came from state funding. (See Figure A-3). 7%of total revenues were from operating grants and contributions, 14%
from gifts,bequests and miscellaneous, 1%from interest and 1%from charges for services.
The total cost of all programs and services was$3,305,220; 61%of these costs are for instructional and instructional related
costs.

WESTLAKE ACADEMY
(A COMPONENT UNIT OF THE'TOWN OF WESTLAKE)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31,2008
I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
Westlake Academy (the "Academy"), a blended component unit of the Town of Westlake (the "Town"), is a
Texas nonprofit Corporation under Chapter 12, Subchapter D of the Educations Code to provide education. The
Board of Trustees (the "Board") consists of five trustees and is appointed by the Town's governing body.
Currently, all members of the Board are members of the Town's governing body. The Academy prepares its
basic financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (the "GASB") and other authoritative sources identified in
Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69 of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants; and it
complies with the requirements of the appropriate version of Texas Education Agency's Financial
Accountability System Resource Guide(the"Resource Guide") and the requirements of contracts and grants of
agencies from which it receives funds.
The Board is appointed by the governing Board of the Town and it has the authority to make decisions, appoint
administrators and managers, and significantly influence operations. It also has the primary accountability for
fiscal matters. Therefore, the Academy is a financial reporting entity as defined by the GASB in its Statement
No. 14,"The Financial Reporting Entity."
The Academy's basic financial statements include a separate governmental entity that is controlled by or
dependent on the Academy. The determination to include separate governmental entities is based on the criteria
of GASB Statement No. 14, "The Financial Reporting Entity" as amended by GASB Statement No. 39,
"Determining Whether Certain Organizations Are Component Units." GASB defines the reporting entity as the
primary government and those component units for which the primary government is financially accountable.
To be financially accountable, a voting majority of the component unit's ruling body must be appointed by the
primary government, and either(a) the primary government must be able to impose its will, or(b) the primary
government may potentially benefit financially or be financially responsible for the component unit.
The Westlake Academy Foundation (the "Foundation") is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization which was
established exclusively for the purposes of supporting the Academy. This includes fundraising for and
contributing raised funds to the Academy. The Foundation has been discretely presented in the accompanying
financial statements and reported in a separate column to emphasize that it is legally separate from the
Academy. See Note II E for additional information relating to the Foundation. Separate audited financial
statements of the Foundation are available from the Academy/Town Finance Director's office, #3 Village
Circle,Suite 202,Westlake,Texas 76262.
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities are government-wide financial statements. They
report information on all of the Academy's nonfiduciary activities with most of the interfund activities removed.
Governmental activities include programs supported primarily by state and federal grants,the Foundation, and the
Town. The Academy has no business-type activities that rely to a significant extent, on fees and charges for
support.

I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
C. Measurement Focus,Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation(Continued)
The proprietary fund types and fiduciary funds are accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement
focus and utilize the accrual basis of accounting_ This basis of accounting recognizes revenues in the
accounting period in which they are earned and become measurable and expenses in the accounting period in
which they are incurred and become measurable. The Academy applies all GASB pronouncements as well as
the Financial Accounting Standards Board pronouncements issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless
these pronouncements conflict or contradict GASB pronouncements. With this measurement focus, all assets
and all liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are included on the fund Statement of Net Assets.
The fund equity is segregated into restricted net assets,and unrestricted net assets.
The Academy reports the following major governmental fund:
The General Fund is the Academy's primary operating fund. It accounts for ail financial
resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Additionally, the Academy reports the following fund types:
The Special Revenue Funds account for resources restricted to, or designated for, specific
purposes by the Academy or a grantor in a Special Revenue Fund. Most federal and some state
financial assistance is accounted for in a Special Revenue Fund and sometimes unused balances
must be returned to the grantor at the close of specified project'period.
Agency Funds account for resources held for others in a custodial capacity. Fiduciary funds are
reported in the fiduciary fund financial statements. However, because these assets are not
available to support Academy programs, these funds are not included in the government-wide
statements. The Academy's Agency Fund is a Student Activity Fund.
D. Other Accounting Policies
1. For purposes of the statement of cash flows for proprietary and similar fund types, the
Academy considers highly liquid investments to be cash equivalents if they have a maturity of
three months or less when purchased.
2. It is the Academy's policy to permit some employees to accumulate earned but unused
vacation and sick pay benefits. There is no liability for unpaid accumulated sick leave since
the Academy does not have a policy to pay any amounts when employees separate from
service with the government. All vacation pay is accrued when incurred in the government-
wide financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds
only if they have matured,for example,as a result of employee resignations and retirements.
3. The Academy provides health insurance for its employees through TRS-Active-Care. The
Academy meets its obligations for workers' compensation insurance through Utica National
Insurance Group.
4. In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for
amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for
use for a specific purpose. Designations of fund balance represent tentative management
plans that are subject to change_
5. When the Academy incurs an expense for which it may use either restricted or unrestricted
assets, it uses the restricted assets first unless unrestricted assets will have to be returned
because they were not used.

II. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (Continued)
A. Deposits and Investments (Continued)
TexPool is organized in conformity with the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 791 of the Texas Government
Code, and the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256 of the Texas Government Code. The Texas
Comptroller of Public Accounts is the sole officer, director and shareholder of the Texas Treasury Safekeeping
Trust Company, which is authorized to operate TexPool. In addition, the TexPool Advisory Board advises on
TexPool's Investment Policy. This Board is composed equally of participants in TexPool and other persons
who do not have a business relationship with TexPool who are qualified to advise TexPool. TexPool is subject
•to annual review by an independent auditor consistent with the Public Funds Investment Act. In addition,
TexPool is subject to review by the State Auditor's office and by the Internal Auditor of the ComptroIler's
office.
In compliance with the Public Funds Investment Act, the Academy has adopted a deposit and investment
policy. That policy does address the following risks:
I. Custodial Credit Risk — Deposits: This is the risk that in the event of bank failure, the
Academy's deposits may not be returned to it. The Academy was not exposed to custodial
credit risk since its deposits at year-end and during the year ended August 31, 2008, were
covered by depository insurance or by pledged collateral held by the Academy's agent bank
in the Academy's name.
2. Custodial Credit Risk— Investments: This is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the
counterparty, the Academy will not be able to recover the value of its investments or
collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. Investments are subject to
custodial credit risk only if they are evidenced by securities that exist in physical or book
entry form. Thus positions in external investment pools are not subj ect to custodial credit risk
because they are not evidenced by securities that exist in physical or book entry form.
3. Other Credit Risk: There is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will
not fulfill its obligations. To minimize credit risk, TexPool invests only in investments
authorized under the Public Funds Investment Act. As of August 31, 2008, TexPool's
investments credit quality rating was AAAm(Standard&Poor's).
B. Due from Other Governments
The Academy participates in a variety of federal and state programs from which it receives grants to partially or
filly finance certain activities. Amounts due from federal and state governments as of August 31, 2008, are
summarized below. All federal grants shown below are passed through the TEA and are reported on the
financial statements as Due from Other Governments.

F. Defined Benefit Pension Plan
Plan Description. The Westlake Academy contributes to the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS), a
cost--sharing multiple employer defined benefit pension plan. TRS administers ,retirement and disability .
annuities, and death and survivor benefits to employees and beneficiaries of employees of the public school
systems of Texas. It operates primarily under the provisions of the Texas Constitution, Article XVI, Sec. 67,
and Texas Government Code, Title 8, Subtitle C. TRS also administers proportional retirement benefits and
service credit transfer under Texas Government Code, Title 8, Chapters 803 and 805,respectively. The Texas
state legislature has the authority to establish and amend benefit provisions of the pension plan and may,under
certain circumstances, grant special authority to the TRS Board of Trustees. TRS issues a publicly available
financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for the defined
benefit pension plan. That report may be obtained by writing to the TRS Communications Department, 1000
Red River Street, Austin, Texas 78701,by calling the TRS Communications Department at 1-800-223-8778, or
by downloading the report from the TRS Internet website, www.trs.state.tx.us, under the TRS Publications
R heading.
p
Funding Policy. Contribution requirements are not actuarially determined but are established and amended by
the Texas state legislature. The state funding policy is as follows: (1) The state constitution requires the
legislature to establish a member contribution rate of not less than 6.0% of the member's annual compensation
and a state contribution rate of not Iess than 6.0%and not more than 10%of the aggregate annual compensation
of all members of the system; (2)A state statute prohibits benefit improvements or contribution reductions if, as
a result of a particular action, the time required to amortize TRS' unfunded actuarial liabilities would be
increased to a period that exceeds 31 years, or, if the amortization period already exceeds 31 years, the period
would be increased by such action. State law provides for a member contribution rate of 6.4% for fiscal year
2008,2007 and 2006, and a state contribution rate of 6.58%for fiscal year 2008 and 6.0%for fiscal year 2007
and 2006. In certainn instances the reporting district is required to make all or a portion of the state's 6.58%
contribution for fiscal year 2008 and 6.00%for fiscal years 2007 and 2006, State contributions to TRS made on
behalf of the Westlake Academy's employees for the years ended August 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were
$149,090, $108,131,and$94,194,respectively.

PATTILLO, BROWN & HILL, L_L_P_
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS R BUSINESS CONSULTANTS
REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT A UDITING STANDARDS
Board of Trustees
Westlake Academy
Members of the Board:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the govermnental activities, the discretely presented
component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Westlake Academy (the "Academy") as
of and for the year ended August 31, 2008, which collectively comprise the Academy's basic financial statements and have
issued our report thereon dated November 10,2008. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Academy's internal control over financial reporting as a
basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements,but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Academy's internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly,we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Academy's internal control over financial reporting.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in
the normal course of performing their assigned functions,to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant
deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Academy's ability to
initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the Academy's financial statements that is
more than inconsequential will not be,prevented or detected by the Academy's internal control.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than
a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not. be prevented or detected by the
Academy's internal control.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we
consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.

Com Rance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Westlake Academy's financial statements are free of
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,regulations, contracts, and grant
agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement
amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and
accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other
matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Board of Trustees, and others within
the entity and is not intended to be used and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of Westlake Academy
Foundation (the "Foundation") as of August 31, 2008, and the related statement of activities and
changes in net assets, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Foundation'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 and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. 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 opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Westlake Academy Foundation, as of August 31, 2008, and the changes in
its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

WESTLAKE ACADEMY FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31,2008
I. NATURE OF BUSINESS
Westlake Academy Foundation (the "Foundation") was organized exclusively for charitable and
educational purposes, including for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations
under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The purpose of the
Foundation is to act on behalf of the Town of Westlake (the "Town") as its duly constituted
authority and instrumentality and, in connection therewith, to exercise all powers and authority
granted under the Texas Nonprofit Corporation Act and other applicable law. Among other
things, the Foundation is to raise funds and take other actions in order to enhance the educational
opportunities to be offered by the open-enrollment charter school, Westlake Academy (the
"Academy"), operated by the Town.
The Foundation has three major programs 1) Blacksmith Apprentice Program, 2) Capital
Campaign, and 3) Gallery Night. The Blacksmith Apprentice Program raises funds from parents
and other interested individuals for the operations of the Academy. The purpose of the Capital
j Campaign is to raise funds for a building that will benefit both the Academy and the Town.
Revenue received as a part of Gallery Night is used for the operations of the Foundation or other
areas as determined by the Foundation's Board of Directors,
The Foundation is included as a discretely presented component unit of the Academy. The
determination to include separate governmental entities is based on the criteria of GASB
Statement No. 14, "The Financial Reporting Entity" as amended by GASB Statement No. 39,
"Determining Whether Certain Organizations Are Component Units." GASB defines the
reporting entity as the primary government and those component units for which the primary
government is financially accountable. To be financially accountable, a voting majority of the
component unit's ruling body must be appointed by the primary government, and either (a) the
primary government must be able to impose its will, or (b) the primary government may
potentially benefit financially or be financially responsible for the component unit.
II. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the Foundation's significant accounting policies consistently applied in the
preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Foundation have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting
in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America and,
accordingly, reflect all significant receivables, payables, and other liabilities.

i

contents of which are set out in the Depository Contract Law. The Depository bank places
approved pledged securities for safekeeping and trust with the Foundation's agent bank in an
amount sufficient to protect Foundation funds on a day-to-day basis during the period of the
contract. The pledge of approved securities is waived only to the extent of the depository bank's
dollar amount of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation("FDIC") insurance.
V. PROMISES TO GIVE
The Foundation is conducting a capital campaign for funds for the construction of a building that
will benefit both the Academy and the Town. Promises to give are restricted to payment of the
costs of the construction of the building. The promises to give as of August 31, 2008, are
unconditional and due $254,393 in 2009 and $202,909 over the following three years. Promises
to give to be received after 2009 are discounted at 4.58°/x. The unamortized discount on

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Board of Directors
Westlake Academy Foundation
Members of the Board:
We have audited the accompanying financial position and the related statement of activities and
changes in net assets, functional expenses, and cash flows of Westlake Academy Foundation (the
"Foundation") as of and for the year ended August 31, 2008, and have issued our report thereon dated
November 10, 2008. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Re ortin
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Foundation's internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Foundation's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Foundation's internal control over financial reporting.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management
or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of
control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Foundation's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process,
or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that
there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the Foundation's financial statements that
is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the Foundation's internal control.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that
results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not
be prevented or detected by the Foundation's internal control.

Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in
internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as
defined above.
Compliance and Other Matters
'As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Foundation's financial statements
are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material
effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on
compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that
are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
We noted no matters involving noncompliance that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Foundation's
Board of Directors, and others within the entity and is not intended to be used and should not be used by
janyone other than these specified parties.
