A review includes primarily applying analytical procedures to management's financial data and making inquiries of management. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error. Accountant's Responsibility Our responsibility is to conduct the review engagement in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services promulgated by the Accounting and Review Services Committee of the AICPA. Those standards require us to perform procedures to obtain limited assurance as a basis for reporting whether we are aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements for them to be in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We believe that the results of our procedures provide a reasonable basis for our conclusion. Accountants' Conclusion Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Emphasis of Matter As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements of UH are intended to present the financial position and the changes in financial position and cash flows of only that portion of the business-type activities of the State of Texas that are attributable to the transactions of UH. They do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the State of Texas as of August 31, 2017, the changes in its financial position, or, where applicable, its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. 5 1:llli!fil2!! Bellville Austin All Offices 3210 Bingle Rd., Ste. 300 PO.

BACKGROUND UH of Houston System (UH SYSTEM), serving the nation's fourth largest city and its metropolitan area, as well as the upper Texas Gulf Coast region, is part of the state-supported system of higher education in Texas. UH System is the region's largest provider of comprehensive (baccalaureate to doctorate) higher education services. The System is comprised of four universities and a supporting System Administration (UHSA). The four universities are University of Houston (UH), University of Houston - Clear Lake (U HCL), University of Houston - Downtown (UHD), and University of Houston - Victoria (UHV); all of which are located along the Texas Gulf Coast. UH is the flagship institution of the UH System, its principal doctoral degree-granting institution, and is a comprehensive research university. UH also has a sig nificant presence through off-campus teaching centers located throughout the Houston metropolitan area. From these facilities, UH is able to reach many students in Houston and beyond through extensive online programs, as well as through classroom instruction. UHSA is responsible for coordinating the off-site operations, as well as providing select centralized services. Among universities nationwide, UH remains a model of diversity and a reflection of the city and region it serves. The System's Board of Regents and Chancellor have led a comprehensive strategic planning process through which new mission statements, goals, principles, and accountability
