Supervisors County of Los Angeles, California Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements Opinions We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business- type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the County of Los Angeles, California (County), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the County’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of the other auditors, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the County as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund, Fire Protection District, Flood Control District, LA County Library, Regional Park and Open Space District, and Mental Health Services Act for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We did not audit the financial statements of the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) (discretely presented component unit), the Los Angeles County Children and Families First – Proposition 10 Commission (First 5 LA) (discretely presented component unit), and the Los Angeles County Employees Retirement Association (LACERA), which represent the following percentages of the assets, net position/fund balances, and revenues/additions of the following opinion units. Net Position/ Revenues/ Opinion Unit Assets Fund Balances Additions Aggregate discretely presented component units 100% 100% 100% Aggregate remaining fund information 66% 67% 10% Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinions, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for LACDA, First 5 LA, and LACERA, are based solely on the reports of the other auditors. Basis for Opinions We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the County and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP 700 South Flower Street, Suite 800 www.mgocpa.com Los Angeles, CA 90017 1 Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements The County’s 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; and for 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. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the County’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we: • Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the County’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. • Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the County’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit. 2 Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, the schedule of the County’s proportionate share of the net pension liability and related ratios, the schedule of County’s pension contributions, the schedule of changes in net RHC OPEB liability and related ratios, the schedule of County’s RHC OPEB contributions, and the schedule of changes in the total LTD OPEB liability and related ratios as listed on the table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Supplementary Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the County’s basic financial statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards, the community services block grant supplementary schedules of revenue and expenditures, and the supplementary schedule of expenditures of federal and State awards granted by the California Department of Aging are presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, the California Department of Community Services and Development, and the California Department of Aging, respectively, and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, the community services block grant supplementary schedules of revenue and expenditures, and the supplementary schedule of expenditures of federal and State awards granted by the California Department of Aging are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 12, 2024, on our consideration of the County’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 solely 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 effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the County’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance. Los Angeles, California December 12, 2024, except for the report on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, the community services block grant supplementary schedules of revenue and expenditures, and the supplementary schedule of expenditures of federal and State awards granted by the California Department of Aging, as to which the date is March 28, 2025. 3 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 This section of the County’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) presents a narrative overview and analysis of financial activities for the year ended June 30, 2024. We recommend that this information be used in conjunction with additional information contained in the letter of transmittal. Financial Highlights At the end of the current year, the net position (total assets and deferred outflows of resources, reduced by total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources) of the County was negative $10.447 billion. Net position is classified into three categories and the unrestricted component was negative $35.141 billion. During the current year, the County’s net position increased by $1.412 billion. Net position related to governmental activities increased by $1.090 billion, while net position related to business-type activities increased by $322 million. At the end of the current year, the County’s General Fund reported a total fund balance of $7.693 billion. The fund balance categories and amounts consisted of nonspendable fund balance of $294 million, restricted fund balance of $89 million, committed fund balance of $1.070 billion, assigned fund balance of $1.345 billion, and $4.895 billion of unassigned fund balance. The County’s capital asset balances were $23.606 billion at year-end and increased by $537 million during the year. During the current year, the County’s long-term debt related to bonds, notes and loans from direct borrowings and direct placements increased by $131 million. Newly issued and accreted long-term debt of $476 million was less than the long-term debt maturities of $345 million. Overview of the Basic Financial Statements This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the County’s basic financial statements, which are comprised of the following three components: • Government-wide financial statements • Fund financial statements • Notes to the basic financial statements This report also includes other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements. 4 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the County’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The Statement of Net Position presents information on all County assets and deferred outflows of resources reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, which represent net position. Over time, increases and decreases in net position may serve as an indicator of whether the financial position of the County is improving or deteriorating. The Statement of Activities presents information that indicates how the County’s net position changed during the fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying events giving rise to the changes occur, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Therefore, revenues and expenses are reported in these statements for some items that affect cash flows in future periods. For example, property tax revenues have been recorded that have been earned but not yet collected and pension and other postemployment benefits (OPEB) expenses have been accrued but not yet paid. The government-wide financial statements report the following different types of programs or activities: • Governmental Activities - The majority of County services are reported under this category. Taxes and intergovernmental revenues are the major revenue sources that fund these activities, which include general government, public protection, public ways and facilities, health and sanitation, public assistance, education, recreation and cultural services, and interest on long-term debt. • Business-type Activities - County services that are intended to recover costs through user charges and fees are reported under this category. The County Hospitals, Waterworks Districts, and Aviation Funds represent the County’s business activities. • Discretely Presented Component Units - Component units are separate entities for which the County is financially accountable. The Los Angeles County Development Authority and First 5 LA are displayed as discretely presented in the financial statements. 5 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The fund financial statements contain information regarding major individual funds. A fund is a fiscal and accounting entity with a balanced set of accounts. The County uses separate funds to ensure compliance with fiscal and legal requirements. The County’s funds are classified into the following three categories: • Governmental Funds - These funds are used to account for essentially the same services that were previously described as governmental activities above. However, the fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating the County’s near-term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental funds balance sheet and the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. Governmental funds include the General Fund, as well as Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, Capital Projects Funds, and Permanent Funds. • Proprietary Funds - These Enterprise Funds are used to account for functions that are classified as “business-type activities” in the government-wide financial statements. The County’s Internal Service Funds are also reported within the proprietary fund section. The County’s four Hospital Funds and Waterworks Fund are all considered major funds for presentation purposes. There is one nonmajor Enterprise Fund (Aviation Fund) and it is displayed with the other major enterprise funds. • Fiduciary Funds - These funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the County. The Fiduciary Funds category are reported in the Pension and Other Postemployment Benefit (OPEB) Trust Funds, the Investment Trust Fund, and Custodial Funds using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Since the resources of these funds are not available to support the County's own programs, they are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements. NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The notes to the basic financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and the fund financial statements. 6 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report presents certain required supplementary information concerning the County’s proportionate share of the net pension liability and related ratios, the County’s contributions to pension benefits, the County's schedule of changes in net Retiree Healthcare (RHC) OPEB liability and related ratios, the County's contributions to RHC OPEB, and the schedule of changes in the total Long-Term Disability OPEB liability and related ratios. Government-wide Financial Analysis As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In the case of the County, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources exceeded assets and deferred outflows of resources by $10.447 billion at the close of the most recent fiscal year. Summary of Net Position As of June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands) Governmental Business-type Activities Activities Total 2024 2023 2024 2023 2024 2023 Current and other assets $ 24,777,388 $ 22,643,936 $ 5,028,768 $ 4,663,966 $ 29,806,156 $ 27,307,902 Capital assets 20,093,030 19,709,385 3,513,144 3,359,596 23,606,174 23,068,981 Total assets 44,870,418 42,353,321 8,541,912 8,023,562 53,412,330 50,376,883 Deferred outflows of resources 10,817,024 10,817,003 1,658,774 1,634,388 12,475,798 12,451,391 Current and other liabilities 7,952,565 7,719,806 1,072,810 958,829 9,025,375 8,678,635 Long-term liabilities 48,032,219 46,002,627 7,993,020 7,682,704 56,025,239 53,685,331 Total liabilities 55,984,784 53,722,433 9,065,830 8,641,533 65,050,614 62,363,966 Deferred inflows of resources 9,655,293 10,490,505 1,629,595 1,832,739 11,284,888 12,323,244 Net position: Net investment in capital assets 16,229,559 15,833,971 2,590,331 2,525,430 18,819,890 18,359,401 Restricted 5,788,406 5,083,496 85,492 84,718 5,873,898 5,168,214 Unrestricted (deficit) (31,970,600) (31,960,081) (3,170,562) (3,426,470) (35,141,162) (35,386,551) Total net position $ (9,952,635) $ (11,042,614) $ (494,739) $ (816,322) $ (10,447,374) $ (11,858,936) 7 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Significant changes in assets, deferred outflows of re sources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources included the following: Current and Other Assets Current and other assets increased by $2.133 billion for governmental activities. There was an increase of $1.797 billion in pooled cash and investments, largely due to the improved cash position of the County's General Fund, Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) fund and the nonmajor special revenue funds of $986 million, $456 million and $286 million, respectively, $366 million in other receivables primarily from mental health, social services, and General Fund health programs, and $42 million in taxes receivable accrued at year-end. This was offset by a decrease of $112 million in internal receivables from the prior year. For business-type activities, current and other assets increased by $365 million. The business-type activities other receivables and internal receivables increased by $299 million and $112 million, respectively, from the prior year. This was offset by a decrease of $46 million in accounts receivables from the prior year. Deferred Outflows of Resources In the current year, the County's deferred outflows of resources balances were $12.476 billion. The deferred outflows of resources were $10.817 billion and $1.659 billion for governmental and business- type activities, respectively. The total deferred outflows of resources amounts and net increases of $24 million were mostly related to pension and OPEB RHC. The total pension related deferred outflows increased by $210 million and $57 million for governmental and business-type activities, respectively, from the prior year. The total OPEB RHC related deferred outflows decreased by $208 million and $32 million for governmental and business-type activities, respectively, from the prior year. The pension and OPEB RHC amounts vary from year to year due to differences between projected and actual experience, assumption changes and changes in proportion. Liabilities Current and other liabilities increased by $233 million for governmental activities primarily from an increase in advances payable of $251 million, accounts payable of $82 million, and accrued payroll of $37 million at year-end. This was offset by a decrease in other payables of $137 million for amounts owed at year-end. For business-type activities, a net increase of $114 million in current and other liabilities was largely associated with an increase in accounts payable of $105 million for amounts owed at year-end. Long-term liabilities increased by $2.030 billion and $310 million for governmental and business-type activities, respectively. Net pension liabilities significantly increased in the current year by $767 million and $146 million for governmental and business-type activities, respectively. Net OPEB liabilities increased by $353 million and $32 million for governmental and business-type activities, respectively. Net Pension and OPEB liabilities changes were due to the projected and actual experience, assumption changes and changes in proportion, offset by the increase in plan fiduciary net position due to improved investment performance. 8 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Liabilities-Continued For governmental activities, litigation and self-insurance liabilities increased by approximately $612 million primarily from the Child Victims Act (AB 218) cases. AB 218, which became effective January 1, 2020, among other things, extended the statute of limitations for commencing an action for recovery of damages suffered as a result of childhood sexual assault to 22 years from the date the plaintiff attains the age of majority or within five years of the date the plaintiff discovers or reasonably should have discovered that the psychological injury or illness occurring after the age of majority was caused by sexual assault, whichever is later. In addition, AB 218 provided for the revival of certain claims from the procedures set forth in the Government Claims Act for a three-year window. AB 218 potential liabilities are preliminary estimates based upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the County's early assessment of the claims based on the limited information currently available, the number of total claims the County anticipated would be filed, the estimated fees and costs the County will incur to investigate and defend the claims, and the resources the County can responsibly agree to devote to the claims. The amount and timing of payments are dependent upon the outcome of the lawsuits, which are in their early stages. For business-type activities, liabilities for accrued compensated absences and workers’ compensation were higher by $21 million and $10 million, respectively. For business-type activities, bonds, notes and loans from direct placements were higher by $117 million. Amounts owed to third party payors by the County's hospitals were higher by $5 million as discussed in Note 14. Specific disclosures related to pension liabilities, OPEB liabilities, lease liabilities, subscription liabilities, and other changes in long-term liabilities are discussed and referenced in Notes 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 to the basic financial statements, respectively. Deferred Inflows of Resources In the current year, the County's deferred inflows of resources were $11.285 billion. Deferred inflows of resources decreased by $835 million and $203 million for governmental and business-type activities, respectively. The total OPEB RHC and LTD related deferred inflows decreased by $634 million and $153 million for governmental and business-type activities, respectively, from the prior year. Pension related deferred inflows of resources decreased by $211 million and $49 million for governmental and business- type activities, respectively. The OPEB RHC and pension changes in deferred inflows of resources will vary from year to year due to differences between projected and actual experience, assumption changes and changes in proportion. Pension and OPEB matters are discussed in more detail in Notes 7 and 8, respectively, to the basic financial statements. Deferred inflows of resources for leases increased by $12 million in governmental activities. For Public- Private and Public-Public Partnerships (PPPs), there were $83 million of related deferred inflows of resources recognized in the current year, which represents a decrease of $2 million from the prior year in governmental activities. This amount represents the present value of installment payments associated with private operators of twenty County golf courses, as discussed in Note 6. 9 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 The County’s total net position consists of the followin g three components: Net Investment in Capital Assets The largest portion of the County’s net position, $18.820 billion, represents its investment in capital assets (i.e., land and easements, buildings and improvements, infrastructure, software, equipment, lease and subscription assets, net of related depreciation and amortization), less any related debt and related deferred outflows of resources used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The County uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the County’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. Restricted Net Position The County’s restricted net position at year-end was $5.874 billion. Asset restrictions are primarily due to external restrictions imposed by State legislation and bond covenants. Net position that pertains to the various separate legal entities included in the basic financial statements is also generally restricted because the entities’ funding sources require that funds be used for specific purposes.

The most significant changes in specific revenue sources were experienced in the following areas: • Program revenues recognized from operating grants and contributions increased by $1.444 billion, which was primary attributable to an increase in health and sanitation and public assistance from State and federal revenues. Health and sanitation revenues grew by $1.027 billion primarily from higher MHSA State revenues of $450 million, higher reimbursable costs associated with mental health services of $522 million and public health programs of $179 million and offset by lower State realignment revenues of $27 million. Revenues for public assistance programs grew by $293 million as there were higher administrative and program reimbursable costs of $445 million for public social services, children and family services, and homeless and housing programs which was offset by a reduction of COVID-19 revenues of $166 million. General government revenues grew by $57 million primarily from $33 million of State revenues to fund capital projects and $25 million for the Internal Services Department energy grant and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Digital Divide program. Revenues for public protection programs increased by $53 million primarily due to the State 2011 Realignment revenues in the Probation department. • Taxes, the County's largest general revenue source, were $514 million higher than the prior year and were mostly attributable to property taxes and sales and other taxes, which grew by $498 million and $16 million, respectively. The County's total taxable assessed property tax value is $2.024 trillion, which grew by 5.92% in the current year and property tax revenue increased by $436 million from the prior year. Property tax revenues were also recognized in conjunction with the dissolution of redevelopment agencies “pass through”. Payments from redevelopment dissolution were $532 million and increased by $27 million from the prior year. Redevelopment dissolution also provides residual property taxes to local governments, including the County. The County's share of such residual tax revenues in the current year was $469 million, an increase of $4 million compared to the prior year. Other general revenues also increased by $11 million from the Homeless and Housing Measure H sales tax and $2 million from the local generated sales tax due to higher prices and increased consumer spending. This was offset by a decrease in deed transfer tax revenue of $8 million due to the decline in real estate sales. • Program revenues recognized from charges for services increased by $415 million which was primary attributable to an increase in health and sanitation and public protection functional categories by $342 million and $73 million, respectively. Health and sanitation increase was due to an increase in health services administration and health community programs of $256 million and $76 million, respectively. The public protection increase was due to an increase in Sheriff law enforcement and Justice, Care Opportunities department (JCOD) programs by $51 million and $17 million, respectively. • Investment income increased by $516 million due to an increase in interest income of $269 million and a change in the fair value in investments at year-end of $247 million, which was primarily from changes in market yields throughout the fiscal year. 14 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Governmental Activities-Continued Expenses related to governmental activities decreased by $52 million (0.2)%) during the current year. This was attributable to an increase in salaries and employee benefit (S&EB) expenses of $1.262 billion and a decrease in operating expenses of $1.314 billion. The S&EB increase was largely attributable for general salary increases by $909 million, an increase in pension expenses by $610 million, and a decrease in OPEB expenses by $241 million, in all functional categories. The decrease in the operating expenses of $1.314 billion was primarily from public assistance and public protection by $1.219 billion and $1.084 billion, respectively. In addition, health and sanitation, general government and public ways and facilities operating expenses increased by $818 million, $101 million and $46 million, respectively. Public assistance operating expenses were higher from public social services programs by $328 million, higher children and family services programs by $85 million, and lower affordable and homeless housing programs by $114 million. In addition, litigation and self- insurance expenses were lower by $1.502 billion primarily from the AB 218 prior year estimates. Public protection operating expenses were higher from Consumer and Business Affairs and Public Works programs by $66 million and $51 million, respectively. In addition, litigation and self-insurance expenses were lower by $1.123 billion primarily from the AB 218 prior year estimates. Health and sanitation operating expenses were higher by $818 million primarily for mental health and health administration and community programs of $478 million and $343 million, respectively. General government operating expenses were higher by $101 million primarily from the Public Works and Economic Development departments of $24 million and $68 million, respectively. Public ways and facilities were primarily higher due to increased costs for road operations, maintenance, safety, and improvements of unincorporated area municipal streets and highways of $46 million. Interest on long-term debt was $178 million, an increase of $17 million from the prior year. Depreciation/ amortization expense was $674 million in the current year, an increase of $90 million from the prior year amount of $584 million in all functional categories. Business-type Activities Revenues from business-type activities for the current year were $5.618 billion, an increase of $383 million (7.3%) from the previous year. The most significant increase was in charges for services to the County's hospitals by $338 million primarily associated with an increase in Global Payment Program and Managed Care Rate Supplement revenues by $149 million and $155 million, respectively. As discussed in Note 14 to the basic financial statements, County hospital revenues are derived from a wide range of federal and State funding sources. Business-type activities for investment income increased by $31 million due to an increase in interest income of $13 million and a change in the fair value in investments at year-end of $18 million, which was primarily from changes in market yields throughout the fiscal year. Expenses related to business-type activities increased from the previous year by a net total of $661 million (11.6%), and were associated primarily with the County’s hospitals, where expenses increased by $655 million. The hospital expenses for S&EB consisted of an increase from general salary increases and pension expenses of $143 million and $95 million, respectively. The S&EB increase was offset by a decrease in OPEB expenses of $46 million. In addition, there was an increase of $204 million for services and supplies and professional services expenses related to an increase in patient care services and an increase in the County's hospital intergovernmental transfer expense of $242 million primarily for the Managed Care Rate Supplement, Enhanced Payment, and Global Payment programs. 15 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Financial Analysis of the County’s Funds As noted earlier, the County uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance- related legal requirements. Governmental Funds The focus of the County’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of resources that are available for spending. Such information is useful in assessing the County’s financing requirements. Types of governmental funds reported by the County include the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, Capital Projects Funds, and the Permanent Funds. As of the end of the current fiscal year, the County’s governmental funds reported combined total fund balances of $14.015 billion, an increase of $1.860 billion in comparison with the prior year. Of the total fund balances, $394 million is nonspendable to indicate the extent that funds are not in spendable form or are required to remain intact. An additional $5.857 billion is classified as restricted, $1.240 billion as committed, and $1.629 billion as assigned. The remaining balance of $4.895 billion is classified as unassigned and is entirely associated with the General Fund. Revenues from all governmental funds for the current year were $32.912 billion, an increase of $2.802 billion (9.3%) from the previous year. Expenditures for all governmental funds in the current year were $30.361 billion, an increase of $2.040 billion (7.2%) from the previous year. In addition, net other financing uses were $692 million, an increase of $81 million (13.3%) as compared to $611 million in the prior year. The General Fund is the County’s principal operating fund. During the current year, the fund balance in the General Fund increased by $1.210 billion (18.7%). At the end of the current fiscal year, the General Fund’s total fund balance was $7.693 billion. Of this amount, $294 million is classified as nonspendable, $89 million as restricted, $1.070 billion as committed, $1.345 billion as assigned and the remaining $4.895 billion is classified as unassigned. General Fund revenues during the current year were $27.263 billion, an increase of $2.042 billion (8.1%) from the previous year. General Fund expenditures during the current year were $26.396 billion, an increase of $1.782 billion (7.2%) from the previous year. Net other financing sources/uses was positive $342 million in the current year as compared to positive $258 million in the prior year. Following are significant changes in General Fund revenues and expenditures: • Intergovernmental revenues increased by $861 million overall, and were primarily associated with an increase in State revenue by $380 million, federal revenue by $456 million and other governmental agencies revenue by $24 million. State and federal revenues related to the COVID-19 federal and State grants funds decreased by $583 million and were offset by an increase of $178 million from the ARP funds. Health Services Realignment State sales tax and vehicle license fees were higher by $52 million primarily due to higher prices and consumer spending. Other State and federal revenue growth was attributable to higher levels of reimbursable program and administrative costs in the mental health, social services, public health, probation, and sheriff programs of $522 million, $431 million, $179 million, $59 million, and $27 million, respectively. This was offset by lower levels of reimbursable programs and administrative costs in health services administration and diversion reentry programs of $110 million and $73 million, respectively. 16 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Governmental Funds-Continued • Charges for services increased by $444 million.

The property taxes increase was primarily associated with $369 million of revenue from a growth in assessed property values. Residual property tax revenues, which are associated with redevelopment dissolution, were $391 million in the current year, $1 million higher than the prior year. Property tax was also reflected in “pass through” property tax revenues, which were $23 million higher in the current year. Documentary transfer taxes decreased other taxes by $8 million fueled by higher interest rates in the real estate market and the County median home sales slowed down in this fiscal year. Sales, use and utility tax increased other taxes by $1 million from increased consumer spending and higher prices. • Investment income resulted in an increase of $330 million due to an increase of $176 million in interest earnings and an increase of $154 million in the fair value change in investments at year- end, which was primarily from changes in market yields throughout the fiscal year. • General Fund expenditures increased by a total of $1.782 billion, or 7.2%. Current expenditures increased by $1.900 billion, and debt service and capital outlay expenditures decreased by $118 million. • Health and sanitation expenditures increased by $1.033 billion.

The County’s principal proprietary funds consist of four hospital enterprise funds and each one is reported as a major fund. All of the four hospital funds had a net deficit as discussed in Note 3. The County is legally required to provide local matching funds to the health care system in order to remain eligible for federal and State assistance. Such funds were provided to the hospitals as operating subsidies from the County General Fund during the year as discussed in Note 15 to the basic financial statements. The amount of subsidy, per facility, ranged from $92 million for the Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center to $442 million for the Los Angeles General Medical Center. The total subsidy amount was $954 million and is reflected in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Fund Net Position as “transfers in.” By comparison, the total General Fund subsidy in the prior year was $906 million. During the current year, the County’s hospital operations experienced higher levels of patient care revenues and operating expenses in comparison to the prior year as previously discussed. An additional source of local funding for the Hospitals is the Health Services Measure B Special Revenue Fund (Measure B Fund).

General Fund Budgetary Highlights The accompanying basic financial statements include a Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance - Budget and Actual on Budgetary Basis for the County’s General Fund. The County’s budgetary basis of accounting is discussed in Notes 1 and 16 to the basic financial statements. There are approximately 160 separate budget units within the General Fund, excluding capital improvement projects, which are individually budgeted. The data presented below represents the net budgetary changes for the General Fund in a highly summarized format. Accordingly, in certain instances, budgets have been increased for programs within a category even though actual amounts have not been realized for the category in its entirety. Under the budgetary basis, there was a net increase of $452 million in the General Fund’s available (unassigned) fund balance from the previous year. 19 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Budgetary Summary - Revenues/Financing Sources Following is a summary of current year budgetary changes and actual results (on the County’s budgetary basis) for General Fund revenues and other financing sources (in thousands): Increase (Decrease) Variance- From Original Final Budget Actual Positive Category Budget Amount Amount (Negative) Taxes $ 5,422 $ 7,859,100 $ 8,025,301 $ 166,201 Intergovernmental revenues 780,208 16,354,894 14,709,603 (1,645,291) Charges for services 494,398 3,456,959 3,361,713 (95,246) All other revenues 59,269 829,001 1,170,676 341,675 Other sources and transfers in 192,882 2,038,225 1,347,823 (690,402) Total $ 1,532,179 $ 30,538,179 $ 28,615,116 $ (1,923,063) Changes from Amounts Originally Budgeted During the year, net increases in budgeted revenues and other financing sources were approximately $1.532 billion. The changes occurred in the following areas: • The budget for "Taxes" increased by $6 million. The $6 million increase was primarily associated with year-end budgetary changes that are designed to demonstrate compliance with legal provisions related to the appropriations of revenues from property taxes and certain other tax related revenues. • The estimated revenue for "Intergovernmental revenues" increased by $780 million. The increase is primarily from COVID-19 federal ARP revenues, which is associated with $463 million for a variety of ARP programs and $336 million under the ARP Revenue Loss Provision. On November 6, 2023, the County identified revisions to its ARP spending plan and reallocated funds for housing and homelessness programs, affordable housing, support the health and public health response to COVID-19, direct community investments and grants, support for tenants and landlords, workforce development services, economic support for small businesses and nonprofits, and programs targeting people who need assistance.

This amount was $1.923 billion, or 6.3%, lower than budget. As discussed below, the changes occurred in the following areas. • Actual "Taxes" were higher by $166 million from the amount budgeted. Of this increase, $149 million increase was associated with property tax revenue due to a growth in assessed property values. Other taxes increased primarily from an increase in aircraft assessment, transient occupancy tax, and local sales revenue by $15 million, $13 million, and $7 million, respectively. There were net decrease in deed transfer taxes of $18 million due to a decline in real estate transactions. • Actual "Intergovernmental revenues" were $1.645 billion lower than the amount budgeted. The ARP programs in various departments accounted for $238 million as these program costs were not completed prior to year-end. Approximately $439 million of intergovernmental revenues were associated with social services and child and family programs, where reimbursable costs were lower than anticipated due to delays in hiring and promoting staff, reduced contractual spending for services and child care provider payments, and delays in implementing new systems. Health, correctional, and community health program, Public health, Mental health, Economic opportunity, and Homeland Security grants, accounted for approximately $177 million, $173 million, $72 million, $32 million, and $23 million, respectively, which experienced lower than anticipated reimbursable costs and correspondingly lower than expected revenues. Budgeted intergovernmental revenues of $366 million were not realized for various capital improvements and disaster recovery programs, as these initiatives were not completed prior to year-end. Homeless and housing program revenue of $25 million experienced lower than anticipated revenue for State funded homeless and housing initiatives. Probation and Sheriff budgeted intergovernmental revenues were lower by $25 million, which experienced lower than anticipated reimbursable operating expenditures and staffing vacancies. Programs that support criminal justice reform in the Office of Diversion and Reentry, JCOD, and Youth Development budgeted intergovernmental revenues were lower by $46 million as new programs and initiatives were still being developed prior to year-end. There were net decreases of $29 million from a variety of programs. • Actual "Charges for services" were $95 million lower than the amount budgeted. The decrease was primarily attributable to $32 million, $20 million and $16 million of costs associated with ambulatory care network, community health services, and public health programs, respectively, which experienced lower than anticipated reimbursable costs for charges for services due to the transition to a post-pandemic environment. In addition, JCOD programs were $13 million lower than the budgeted amount as they develop and continue to ramp up services. Registrar-Recorder experienced a $19 million decline of revenue from election services. There were net increases of $5 million from a variety of programs. • Actual "All other revenues" were $341 million higher than budgeted. Interest revenue was higher by $254 million due to a changes in the market yields throughout the fiscal year.

Budgetary Summary - Expenditures/Other Financing Uses Following is a summary of current year budgetary changes and actual results (on the County’s budgetary basis) for General Fund expenditures, transfers out, and changes in fund balance components (in thousands): Increase (Decrease) From Original Final Budget Actual Variance- Category Budget Amount Amount Positive General government $ (20,685) $ 3,821,756 $ 1,879,693 $ 1,942,063 Public protection 344,601 7,552,904 7,185,630 367,274 Health and sanitation 258,447 8,802,606 7,791,294 1,011,312 Public assistance 26,403 10,001,015 9,097,590 903,425 All other expenditures 414,518 2,682,484 982,445 1,700,039 Transfers out 302,598 1,072,368 1,069,312 3,056 Contingencies (77,561) (185) (185) Fund balance changes-net 283,858 369,720 157,576 212,144 Total $ 1,532,179 $ 34,302,668 $ 28,163,540 $ 6,139,128 Changes from Amounts Originally Budgeted During the year, net increases in General Fund appropriations and fund balance component changes were approximately $1.532 billion. The most significant changes occurred in the following areas: • "Public protection" appropriations increased by $345 million. An increase of $24 million of S&EB was appropriated to reflect the general S&EB increases. Law enforcement appropriations increased by $197 million which was funded by provisional financing uses and other revenues for the Sheriff's department operations costs which include increases in services and supplies, contracts, legal settlements, and costs for federal grant programs. The Consumer and Business Affairs appropriations increased by $47 million for ARP programs to provide mortgage relief, expand the income tax assistance program, financial coaching, landlord-tenant mediation, and rent relief. District attorney appropriations increased by $26 million to pay for operation costs in services and supplies, insurance, litigation, and settlements costs.

General Fund health services operations that support Administration, Ambulatory care network, and Correctional health appropriations increased by $305 million to fund increased costs related to intergovernmental transfers, registry staffing, medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, and equipment purchases which was offset by a decrease in S&EB appropriations of $59 million. Mental health appropriations increased by $48 million to fund the innovative interim housing outreach program, temporary mental health shelter beds, and mental health contract providers. Public health appropriations increased by $149 million primarily for the expansion of substance use disorder contracted services and ARP funded programs for COVID-19 community testing. Community health programs, a newly established budget, provides comprehensive services for the patient populations that are also experiencing non-medical factors that influence a patient health outcomes appropriations decreased by $189 million. There were net increases of $4 million for other health and sanitation programs. • Appropriations for "All other expenditures" were increased by $415 million. The increase was primarily attributable to the continued development, design, and construction of capital projects to support the long-term goals to sustain and/or rehabilitate County facilities. • Appropriations for "transfers out" were increased by $303 million. The increase was primarily attributable to augmenting the amount of fund transfers from the General Fund to the various Hospital Enterprise Funds. • Net fund balance budgetary changes of $284 million had the effect of reducing the available (unassigned) fund balance component. The changes were largely attributable to increasing the reserve for rainy day funds and committed for American Rescue Plan for capital programs by $124 million and $209 million, respectively. The remaining variance of $49 million was attributable to various other fund balance accounts. Actual Expenditures/Other Financing Uses Compared with Final Budget Amount Actual expenditures/other financing uses for the current year were $6.139 billion (17.9%) lower than the final total budget of $34.303 billion. There were budgetary savings in all functional expenditure categories. Following are the functional areas that recognized the variations from the final budget: • General government expenditures were $1.942 billion less than the budgeted amount. Of this amount, the budgetary savings was largely attributable to appropriations not associated with specific County departments, such as provisional appropriations and central non-departmental appropriations by $1.249 billion. The CFCI Program not associated with a specific County department had budgetary savings of $197 million as they continue to design, develop, launch and implement Board-approved CFCI programs. The Board of Supervisors had budgetary savings of $127 million to be spent in future years for various community projects. S&EB savings for general government operations of $122 million were due to vacancies and hiring delays. The Department of Economic Opportunity had budgetary savings of $100 million to be spent in future years for economic development initiatives within the County. Chief Executive Office had budgetary savings of $47 million due to lower than anticipated operational costs. Judgments and damages had budgetary savings of $32 million due to lower than anticipated legal settlements costs. The remaining net budgetary savings of $68 million was spread across the general government departments and was mostly related to savings in the areas of services and supplies. 23 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Actual Expenditures/Other Financing Uses Compared with Final Budget Amount-Continued • Overall expenditures for the "health and sanitation" category were $1.011 billion less than the budgeted amount. Specifically, the budgetary savings were from the mental health, community health programs, CFCI health programs, public health programs, and health services administration of $289 million, $240 million, $116 million, $75 million, $17 million, respectively, due to lower than anticipated costs for professional, contracted, and information technology services, and implementing new programs. There was also $265 million from S&EB savings due to staffing vacancies and hiring delays. The remaining variance of $9 million was related to other health and sanitation programs. • Actual "public assistance" expenditures were $903 million lower than the final budget. The variance of $309 million was related to affordable housing and homeless programs due to delays in carrying out multi-year projects. Social services and children and family were lower than budgeted by $231 million and $253 million, respectively. Cost savings in these areas were due to lower than anticipated costs in implementing new assistance programs, General Relief Guaranteed Income Pilot Program, Anti-Homelessness subsidy program, and Family First Prevention Services Act programs. There were also direct program savings associated with lower than anticipated caseloads. The Aging and Disabilities department was lower than budgeted by $13 million due to lower than anticipated costs to support older adults, adults with disabilities and community programs. In addition, there were S&EB savings of $95 million due to the hiring delays and vacancies. The remaining variance of $2 million was related to other public assistance programs. • The category referred to as “all other expenditures” reflected actual spending of $1.700 billion less than the budgeted amount. Of this variance, $1.672 billion was in the capital outlay category and was related to numerous capital improvements anticipated in the budget that remained in the planning and development stages and did not incur expenditures during the year. Most of the unused balance has been re-established in the following year’s budget to ensure the continuity of the projects, many of which are multi-year in nature. Capital Assets The County’s capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of June 30, 2024, were $23.606 billion (net of depreciation and amortization). Capital assets include land and easements, buildings and improvements, infrastructure, equipment, software, capital assets, in progress, lease assets, and subscription assets. The major infrastructure network elements are roads, sewers, water, flood control, and aviation. Specific capital asset changes during the current year are presented in Note 5 to the basic financial statements. 24 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 The total increase in the County’s capital assets (ne t of depreciation/amortization) for the current fiscal year was $537.19 million as shown in the following table. Changes in Capital Assets, Net of Depreciation/Amortization Primary Government - All Activities (in thousands) Current Prior Increase Year Year (Decrease) Land and easements $ 7,840,427 $ 7,815,091 $ 25,336 Buildings and improvements 6,319,349 6,141,339 178,010 Infrastructure 3,740,931 3,856,261 (115,330) Equipment 635,142 599,197 35,945 Software 133,770 166,611 (32,841) Capital assets, in progress 3,340,491 2,876,906 463,585 Lease assets 1,498,670 1,526,637 (27,967) Subscription assets 97,394 86,939 10,455 $ 23,606,174 $ 23,068,981 $ 537,193 The County’s major capital asset initiatives during the current year continued to focus on new facilities and major improvements.

The major projects include $53 million for various deferred maintenance projects under the Facility Reinvestment Program, $41 million for the Natural History Museum Commons Renovation, $22 million for the Hall of Administration retrofit and repairs, and $20 million for the Natural History Museum La Brea Tar Pits. In addition, there were capitalized software- in-progress costs of $18 million for the Assessor’s Modernization Project Phase 4 and $10 million for the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s Voting System for all People Tally System and Ballot Marking Devices and Manager Enhancement. There was also a net increase in buildings and improvements totaling $73 million.

Specific changes related to governmental and business-type activities are presented in Note 11 to the basic financial statements. During the current year, significant long-term debt transactions related to bonds, notes and loans from direct borrowings and direct placements were as follows: • Lease Revenue Obligation Notes (LRON) of $460 million were issued for governmental and business-type activities in the amounts of $205 million and $255 million, respectively. For governmental activities, debt was issued to finance renovations for public health centers, social service, probation buildings, beach and park facilities, libraries and various general government buildings. For business-type activities, debt was issued to finance hospital facilities improvements. Lease liabilities slightly decreased by $2 million, as newly issued leases of $152 million were lower than the lease maturities of $154 million related to governmental and business-type activities. Subscription liabilities slightly decreased by $2 million from the prior year. There were eight outstanding financed purchase obligations, where the asset transfers ownership to the County by the end of the agreement. Financed purchase obligations balance for governmental activities was $16 million as of June 30, 2024. In addition to the above borrowing, the County continued to finance General Fund cash flow shortages occurring periodically during the fiscal year by selling $700 million in tax and revenue anticipation notes. The notes matured and were redeemed on June 28, 2024. Bond Ratings The County's debt is rated by Moody's, S&P Global Ratings (S&P), and Fitch. The following is a schedule of ratings assigned by the respective rating agencies: Moody's S&P Fitch Certificates of Participation Aa3 AA+ AA+ Equipment/Non-Essential Leases Aa2 AA+ AA+ Operating/Non-Essential Leases Aa2 AA+ AA+ Short-Term MIG1 SP-1+ F1+ During the current year, the County’s bond ratings assigned by Fitch for Certificates of Participation, Equipment Leases, and Operating Leases were upgraded from the previous year. 26 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Economic Condit ions and Outlook Los Angeles County's FY 2024-2025 budget makes major investments in mental health services complemented by substantial funding to sustain the County's accelerated emergency response to the homelessness crisis, along with programs to create jobs, expand food resources, support families, and advance the Board of Supervisors' Care First, Jails Last vision. The County’s 2024-2025 Budget represents a balanced plan, devoting limited resources to the highest priority programs while maintaining the County's safety net, other basic services, and recent innovations aimed at alleviating poverty, such as the County's expanding the guaranteed income programs. The County budget also seeks to ensure we are prepared for challenges ahead, including safeguarding the County against both economic and cybersecurity threats. The County's budget continues to reflect the County's long-standing commitment to responsible and sustainable fiscal practices. The Board of Supervisors adopted the County’s 2024-2025 Budget on June 24, 2024. The Budget was adopted based on estimated fund balances that would be available at the end of 2023-2024. The Board updated the Budget on October 8, 2024 to reflect final 2023-2024 fund balances and other pertinent financial information. For the County’s General Fund, the 2024-2025 Budget utilized $4.216 billion of fund balance, which exceeded the previously estimated fund balance of $2.776 billion. Of the additional fund balance of $1.440 billion, $505 million was used to carryover lapsed appropriations and ensure the continuity of funded program initiatives. The remaining $935 million was primarily used for the continued momentum for Care First, Jails Last initiative, respond to the local emergency for homelessness and affordable housing, changes in the Mental Health and Public Health services delivery system, provide immigrant assistance services, help children and families, older adults and people with disabilities, address public assistance cost increases, promote jobs, workforce and business development, make community and equity investments, invest in information technology, invest in sustainability and energy efficiencies, provide transparency and public accountability, provide for public safety protection, and invest in the County's public assets. The County faces multiple challenges that are expected to significantly affect its fiscal outlook over the next several years, including slower growth of its locally generated revenues, expiration of hundreds of millions in COVID-19 related federal funding as well as homelessness funding, and potentially outsized legal settlements and judgments resulting from Assembly Bill (AB) 218, which allowed plaintiffs to file sexual assault lawsuits against the County that were previously time-barred. These budgetary pressures are likely to limit our ability to fund new and expanded programs in future years and will inhibit the growth that mandates CFCI funding, among other impacts. The County will continue to advocate for additional federal and State funding. The economic outlook and growth remains mostly positive from continued strength in the jobs market and consumption, which help drive modest economic growth. Conversely, the economy still faces challenges even though inflation is easing from the post-pandemic highs, federal reserve lowering interest rates and the housing market. In September 2024 and November 2024, the Federal Reserve board lowered the federal funds rate by 0.50% and 0.25% percentage points, respectively. While housing prices remain high, the easing of the interest rates should lower mortgage rates which can encourage prospective buyers to borrow and increase the homeowners' willingness to purchase a new home within their affordability. We will closely monitor key economic indicators to guide our efforts in the development of future budget recommendations that will impact the County's revenues, support the needs of County residents and advance the Board's priorities. The County’s budget outlook continues to be influenced by the fiscal condition and outlook of the State of California. The State Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) issued their fiscal outlook on November 20, 2024 27 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 and reports that the State of California legislators ap proved a balanced budget for FY 2024-25 and also proactively, addressed the anticipated budget problems for FY 2025-26. The LAO reports three key challenges: 1) Revenues running ahead of the broader economy; 2) 2025-26 Budget roughly balanced; and 3) No capacity for new commitments on the State budget. Income tax revenues are being driven by the recent stock market rally, which call into question the sustainability in the absence of improvements to the State's broader economy. Although the revenue improvements are ahead of the budget estimates, this is offset by the spending increases to balance the budget. The LAO provides a cautious outlook and the State continues to face a double-digit operating deficit in the years to come. The State does not have the capacity to add new commitments, particularly ones that are ongoing. The State legislature will need to address these future deficits. Health and human services programs are subject to considerable challenges and uncertainty as the County depends on funding from the State and federal government. The results of the November 5, 2024 nationwide election will bring transition to the United States presidency and federal administration. The County receives substantial federal revenues and operates many programs which are subject to federal rules and regulations. Federal assistance is especially critical to the County's ability to operate its four County hospitals, health care and public health network and public assistance programs, including services to our immigrant population. The County will be carefully monitoring federal policy developments to determine the future impacts, if any, on its ability to administer federal programs and deliver County services that rely upon federal funding. In addition, on November 5, 2024, the voters of Los Angeles County successfully passed three ballot measures: 1) Homeless Services and Affordable Housing Ordinance (Measure A) which is estimated to generate $1.076 billion in annual sales tax revenue; 2) Consolidated Fire Protection District of Los Angeles County Emergency Response and Infrastructure Ordinance (Measure E) is estimated to generate $152 million in revenue; and 3)) Los Angeles County Government Structure, Ethics, and Accountability Charter Amendment (Measure G) with the fiscal impact not determinable. Details of the measures are further discussed in the subsequent event note 23.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Reporting Entity The County of Los Angeles (County), which was established in 1850, is a legal subdivision of the State of California (State) charged with general governmental powers. The County's powers are exercised through an elected five member Board of Supervisors (Board), which, as the governing body of the County, is responsible for the legislative and executive control of the County. As required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), these basic financial statements include both those of the County and its component units. The component units discussed below are included in the County’s reporting entity because of the significance of their operational or financial relationships with the County. The basic financial statements include blended, fiduciary and discretely presented component units. The blended component units, although legally separate entities are, in substance, part of the County’s operations. The data from these units are combined with data of the primary government. The fiduciary component unit is reported under Fiduciary Funds in the basic financial statements. The discretely presented component units, on the other hand, are reported in a separate column in the government-wide financial statements. Blended Component Units While each of the component units is legally separate from the County, the County is financially accountable for these entities. Financial accountability is primarily demonstrated by the County’s Board acting as the governing board for each of the component units and its ability to impose its will or an existence of a financial benefit/burden relationship. County management has determined that the following related entities should be included in the basic financial statements as blended component units: Fire Protection District Waterworks Districts Flood Control District Los Angeles County Capital Asset Leasing Garbage Disposal Districts Corporation (a Not-for-Profit Corporation) (NPC) Improvement Districts Various Joint Powers Authorities (JPAs) Regional Park and Open Space District Los Angeles County Securitization Corporation Sewer Maintenance Districts (LACSC) Street Lighting Districts Los Angeles County Facilities Inc. (LACF) The various districts are included primarily because the Board is also their governing board and the County has operational responsibilities for the districts. As such, the Board establishes policy, appoints management and exercises budgetary control. The NPC and JPAs have been included because their sole purpose is to finance and construct County capital assets and because they are dependent upon the County for funding. The Los Angeles County Capital Asset Leasing Corporation (LACCAL) is organized as a not-for- profit corporation in which the primary government is the sole corporate member, as identified in LACCAL's articles of incorporation or bylaws, and the component unit is included in the financial reporting entity. 59 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued Blended Component Units-Continued The LACSC is a California public benefit corporation created by the County Board in January 2006. Three directors, the County’s Auditor-Controller, Treasurer and Tax Collector, and an independent party designated by at least one of the County directors, govern the LACSC. The LACSC purpose is to acquire the County’s rights in relation to future tobacco settlement payments and to facilitate the issuance of long-term bonds secured by the County Tobacco Assets. The LACSC provides service solely to the County and is reported as a blended component unit of the County. LACF is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation and an organization described under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It was formed on April 25, 2016. On July 26, 2018, LACF issued $302.38 million of lease revenue bonds to be used to finance the construction of the Vermont Corridor County Administration Building and parking structure. LACF is reported as a blended component unit because it provides services solely to the County and it is fiscally dependent on the County. It is reported under Public Buildings Debt Service and Capital Projects funds. Fiduciary Component Unit The County pension plan is administered by the Los Angeles County Employees Retirement Association (LACERA), which was established under the County Employees' Retirement Law of 1937 (CERL). LACERA is a cost-sharing, multi-employer defined benefit plan. LACERA provides retirement, disability, death benefits and cost of living adjustments to eligible members. LACERA also administers an agent multiple-employer Other Postemployment Benefit (OPEB) or Retiree Healthcare Program on behalf of the County. LACERA is reported in the Pension and OPEB Trust Funds on the Statement of Net Position - Fiduciary Funds of the basic financial statements and has been included because its operations are dependent upon County funding and because its operations, almost exclusively, benefit the County. LACERA issues a stand-alone financial report, which is available at its offices located at Gateway Plaza, 300 N. Lake Avenue, Pasadena, California 91101-4199 or at www.LACERA.com. Discretely Presented Component Units Los Angeles County Development Authority The Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) was established on July 1, 1982 under the provisions of Section 34100-34160 of the Health and Safety Code of the State of California. LACDA is responsible for: • Administering the Housing Choice Voucher and other Section 8 programs; • Directing the County’s housing programs, including planning, housing finance, production and conservation, and management of the County’s public housing developments; • Financing community improvements such as resurfacing streets and rehabilitating homes and businesses; • Providing economic development, business revitalization services, and comprehensive planning systems for affordable housing; and • Developing housing, business, and industry in designated areas. 60 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued Discretely Presented Component Units-Continued Los Angeles County Development Authority-Continued While its Board members are the same as the County Board, LACDA does not meet the criteria for blending due to the following: 1) there is no financial burden or benefit relationship with the County nor does management of the County have operational responsibilities over it; 2) LACDA does not provide services entirely or almost entirely to the County; and 3) LACDA's total debt outstanding is not expected to be repaid with resources of the County. The financial activity of LACDA is reported within the Discretely Presented Component Units column of the government-wide financial statements. LACDA issues a separate financial report that can be obtained at https://www.lacda.org/ home/about/agency-overview or by writing to the Los Angeles County Development Authority at 700 W. Main Street, Alhambra, California 91801. Los Angeles County Children and Families First - Proposition 10 Commission Los Angeles County Children and Families First - Proposition 10 Commission, also known as First 5 LA, was established by the County as a separate legal entity to administer the County's share of tobacco taxes levied by the State pursuant to Proposition 10. The Board established First 5 LA with nine voting members and four non-voting representatives. Of the nine voting members, one is a member of the Board of Supervisors, three are heads of County Departments (Public Health, Mental Health, and Children and Family Services), and five are public members appointed by the Board. The non-voting representatives are from other County commissions and planning groups. First 5 LA services support programs and services for children ages prenatal through five, and their families, in the areas of health, safety, early education and literacy. First 5 LA is a discretely presented component unit of the County because the County’s Board appoints the voting Commissioners and the County has the ability to impose its will by removing those Commissioners at will. First 5 LA hires its own employees, including an Executive Director and functions independent of the County. It is discretely presented because its governing body is not substantially the same as the County's governing body and it does not provide services entirely or exclusively to the County. The financial activity of First 5 LA is reported within the Discretely Presented Component Units column of the government-wide financial statements. First 5 LA issues a separate financial report that can be obtained at www.first5la.org/our-board/financials or by writing to First 5 LA at 750 N. Alameda Street, Suite 300, Los Angeles, California 90012. Related Organization Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) is a legally separate entity from the County. LACOE is governed by a seven-member Board of Education appointed by the County Board. However, the County’s accountability for LACOE does not extend beyond making appointments and no financial benefit/burden relationship exists between the County and LACOE. LACOE is deemed to be a related organization. LACOE issues a separate financial report that can be obtained by writing to the Los Angeles County Office of Education at 9300 Imperial Highway, Downey, California 90242-2890. 61 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued Basic Financial Statements In accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement (GASB) 34, "Basic Financial Statements - and Management's Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments," the basic financial statements consist of the following: • Government-wide financial statements; • Fund financial statements; and • Notes to the basic financial statements. Government-wide Financial Statements The statement of net position and statement of activities display information about the primary government, the County, and its blended and discretely presented component units. These statements include the financial activities of the overall government, except for fiduciary activities. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities, except for services provided among funds (other than internal service funds). These statements distinguish between the governmental and business-type activities of the County and between the County and its discretely presented component units. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees charged to external parties. The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each segment of the business-type activities of the County and for each function of the County’s governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs. Grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program are also recognized as program revenues. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented instead as general revenues. Net position is classified into the following three components: 1) net investment in capital assets; 2) restricted; and 3) unrestricted. Net position is reported as restricted when it has external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, or laws or regulations of other governments and restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. At June 30, 2024, the restricted net position balances were $5.788 billion and $85.49 million for governmental activities and business- type activities, respectively. For governmental activities, $1.144 billion was restricted by enabling legislation. When both the restricted and unrestricted components of net position are available, restricted resources are used first and then unrestricted resources are used to the extent necessary. 62 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued Fund Financial Statements The fund financial statements provide information about the County’s funds, including fiduciary funds and blended component units. Separate statements for each fund category - governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are separately aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds. In accordance with GAAP, the County reports on each major fund. By definition, the General Fund is always considered a major fund. Funds other than the General Fund must be reported as major funds if they meet both the ten percent and five percent criterion, defined respectively, 1) an individual fund reports at least ten percent of any of the following: a) total fund assets and deferred outflows of resources, b) total fund liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, c) total fund revenues, or d) total fund expenditures/expenses; 2) an individual fund reports at least five percent of the aggregated total for both governmental funds and enterprise funds of any one of the items for which it met the ten percent criterion. In addition, a fund may be reported as major if it is believed to be of particular importance to financial statement users. The County reports the following major governmental funds: General Fund The General Fund is available for any authorized purpose and is used to account for and report all financial resources not accounted for and reported in another fund. Fire Protection District The Fire Protection District Fund is used to account for fire prevention and suppression, rescue service, management of hazardous materials incidents, ocean lifeguard services, and acquisition and maintenance of the Fire Protection District property and equipment. Funding comes primarily from the Fire Protection District’s statutory share of the Countywide tax levy, voter-approved taxes and charges for services. Flood Control District The Flood Control District Fund provides flood protection services that incorporate an integrated water resource management approach in providing flood protection; increases local water availability through conservation efforts; increases stormwater capture and reduces stormwater and urban runoff pollution; and provides passive recreational opportunities. The primary sources of revenue for the Flood Control District are property taxes and benefit assessments (charges for services). LA County Library The LA County Library Fund is used to account for free library services to the unincorporated areas of the County and to cities that contract for these services. Funding comes primarily from the Library’s statutory share of the Countywide tax levy and voter-approved taxes. Regional Park and Open Space District The Regional Park and Open Space District Fund is used to account for the programs designed to preserve beaches, parks, and wild lands, to acquire and renovate new and existing recreational facilities, and to restore rivers, streams, and trails in the County. Funding comes primarily from voter-approved special taxes. 63 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued Fund Financial Statements-Continued Mental Health Services Act The Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Fund is used to account for the County's mental health delivery system for children, transition age youth, adults, older adults, and families. Revenues are derived primarily by the passage of State Proposition 63 in November 2004. Proposition 63 generates mental health revenue through a one percent income surcharge on individuals with State taxable incomes over $1.00 million. The County's four Hospital Funds and Waterworks Fund are all considered major funds for presentation purposes. There is one nonmajor enterprise fund (Aviation Fund). The Hospital Enterprise funds provide health services to County residents. Revenues are principally patient service fees. Subsidies are also received from the General Fund. The Waterworks Enterprise Fund provides water services to County residents. Revenues are derived primarily from the sale of water and water service standby charges. The Aviation Enterprise Fund provides airport services for five County airports. Revenues are derived primarily from airport charges and lease payments. A description of each enterprise fund is provided below: Harbor-UCLA Medical Center The Harbor-UCLA Medical Center (H-UCLA) provides acute and intensive care unit medical/ surgical inpatient and outpatient services, trauma and emergency room services, acute psychiatric services, pediatric and obstetric services, and transplants. Olive View-UCLA Medical Center The Olive View-UCLA Medical Center (OV-UCLA) provides acute and intensive care, emergency services, medical/surgical inpatient and outpatient health care services, obstetric and gynecological services, and psychiatric services. Los Angeles General Medical Center The Los Angeles General Medical Center, formerly known as the LAC+USC Medical Center, provides acute and intensive care unit medical/surgical inpatient and outpatient services, trauma and emergency room services, a burn center, psychiatric services, renal dialysis, AIDS services, pediatric and obstetric services, and communicable disease services. Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center The Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center (Rancho) specializes in the rehabilitation for victims of spinal cord injuries and strokes, pathokinesiology and polio services, services for liver diseases, pediatrics, ortho diabetes, dentistry, and neuro-science. Waterworks The Waterworks Enterprise Fund is used to account for the administration, maintenance, operation and improvement of district water systems. Nonmajor Aviation The Aviation Enterprise Fund is used to account for the administration, maintenance, operation and improvement of the five airports which are owned by the County. 64 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued Fund Financial Statements-Continued The following fund types have also been reported: Internal Service Funds The Internal Service Funds (ISFs) are used to account for the financing of services provided by a department or agency to other departments or agencies on a cost-reimbursement basis. The County's principal Internal Service Fund is used to account for the cost of services provided by the Department of Public Works to various other County funds and agencies. Fiduciary Fund Types Pension and Other Postemployment Benefit Trust The Pension Trust Fund is used to account for the fiduciary activities of the County’s Pension Plan administered by LACERA. The OPEB Trust Fund is used to account for the fiduciary activities of the OPEB trust for the purpose of holding and investing assets to pre-fund the Retiree Healthcare Program administered by LACERA. Investment Trust The Investment Trust Fund is used to account for the fiduciary activities from the external portion of the investment pool and individual investment accounts which are administered through a trust agreement or equivalent arrangement in which the County is not a beneficiary. Participants include deposits held on behalf of cities and special districts. Custodial External Investment Pools The External Investment Pools Funds are used to account for the fiduciary activities from the external portion of the investment pool for participants that do not have a trust agreement or equivalent arrangement in which the County is not a beneficiary. The participants primarily consist of deposits held on behalf of school districts, courts, and sanitation districts. Other Custodial The Other Custodial Funds include the property tax funds used to account for the fiduciary activities for the monies received from property and other taxes, which must be held pending authority for distribution. They also are used to account for funds which are held for other governmental agencies, including school districts and community college districts, or individuals in a custodial capacity. 65 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued Basis of Accounting The government-wide, proprietary, and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place. Nonexchange transactions, in which the County gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange, include property and sales taxes, grants, entitlements and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenues from grants and similar items are recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The County considers revenues to be available if collectible within one year after year-end, except for property taxes, which are considered available to the extent that they are collectible within 60 days after year-end. When property taxes are measurable but not available, the collectible portion (taxes levied less estimated uncollectibles) is recorded as deferred inflows of resources in the period when an enforceable legal claim to the assets arises. Expenditures are generally recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims (including workers’ compensation) and judgments are recorded only when payment is due. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of long-term debt, financed purchase obligations, lease liabilities, and subscription liabilities are reported as other financing sources. For the governmental funds financial statements, revenues are recorded when they are susceptible to accrual. Specifically, ad valorem property taxes (except for redevelopment agency dissolution), sales taxes, investment income (loss), charges for services, and other miscellaneous revenue are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and have been recognized as revenue in the current fiscal period. Entitlements and shared revenues are recorded at the time of receipt or earlier if the susceptible to accrual criteria are met. Expenditure-driven grants are recognized as revenue when the qualifying expenditures have been incurred and all other eligibility requirements have been met and are recorded at the time of receipt or earlier, if the susceptible to accrual criteria are met. When all eligibility requirements are met, except for the timing requirements, a deferred inflow of resources is reported until the time requirements have passed. All other revenues are not considered susceptible to accrual and are recognized when received, including property tax revenues derived from redevelopment agency dissolution. 66 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued Basis of Accounting-Continued Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the County’s four Hospital Enterprise Funds (Hospitals) are from patient services. The principal operating revenues for the Waterworks Enterprise Fund, Nonmajor Aviation Enterprise Fund and Internal Service Funds are charges for services. Operating expenses for all Enterprise Funds and the Internal Service Funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization on capital assets. Medical malpractice expenses, which are self- insured, are classified as operating expenses of the Hospitals. All other revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating items. As discussed in Note 14, intergovernmental transfer payments are recorded in the Hospitals and this item is classified as a nonoperating expense. Budgetary Data In accordance with the provisions of Sections 29000-29144 of the Government Code of the State of California (Government Code), commonly known as the County Budget Act, the County prepares and adopts a budget on or before October 2 for each fiscal year. Budgets are adopted for the major governmental funds and certain nonmajor governmental funds on a basis of accounting that is different from GAAP. Annual budgets were not adopted for the JPAs, Public Buildings and the LACSC debt service funds, the capital project funds and the permanent funds. The County budget is organized by budget unit and by expenditure object. Budget units are established at the discretion of the Board. Within the General Fund (with certain exceptions), budget units are generally defined as individual departments. For other funds, each individual fund constitutes a budget unit. Expenditures are controlled at the object level for all budget units within the County, except for capital asset expenditures, which are controlled at the sub-object level. The total budget exceeds $50.065 billion and is currently controlled through the use of approximately 500 separate budget units. There were no excesses of expenditures over the related appropriations within any fund for the year ended June 30, 2024. The County prepares a separate budgetary document, the County Budget, which demonstrates legal compliance with budgetary control. This document is made available to the public on the County’s website at https://ceo.lacounty.gov/budget, or can be obtained from the Auditor-Controller’s office. Transfers of appropriations between budget units must be approved by the Board. Supplemental appropriations financed by unanticipated revenue during the year must also be approved by the Board. Transfers of appropriations between objects of expenditure within the same budget unit must be approved by the Board or the Chief Executive Office, depending upon the amount transferred. The original and final budget amounts are reported in the accompanying basic financial statements. Any excess of budgetary expenditures and other financing uses over revenues and other financing sources is financed by beginning available fund balances as provided for in the County Budget Act. Note 16 describes the differences between the budgetary basis of accounting and GAAP. A reconciling schedule is also presented for the major governmental funds. 67 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued Property Taxes All jurisdictions within California derive their taxing authority from the State Constitution and various legislative provisions contained in the Government Code and Revenue and Taxation Code. Property is assessed at 100% of full cash or market value (with some exceptions) pursuant to Article XIIIA of the California State Constitution and statutory provisions by the County Assessor and State Board of Equalization. The total Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2024 assessed valuation of the County approximated $2.024 trillion. The property tax levy to support general operations of the various jurisdictions is limited to one percent (1%) of full cash value and is distributed in accordance with statutory formulae. Amounts needed to finance the annual requirements of voter-approved debt are excluded from this limitation and are separately calculated and levied each fiscal year. The rates are formally adopted by either the Board or the city councils and, in some instances, the governing board of a special district. The County is divided into 13,153 tax rate areas, which are unique combinations of various jurisdictions servicing a specific geographic area. The rates levied within each tax rate area vary only in relation to levies assessed as a result of voter-approved taxes or indebtedness. Property taxes are levied on both real and personal property. Secured property taxes are levied during September of each year. They become a lien on real property on January 1 preceding the fiscal year for which taxes are levied. These tax payments can be made in two equal installments; the first is due November 1 and delinquent with penalties after December 10; the second is due February 1 and delinquent with penalties after April 10. Secured property taxes, which are delinquent and unpaid as of June 30, are declared to be tax defaulted and are subject to redemption penalties, costs, and interest when paid. If the delinquent taxes are not paid at the end of 5 years, the property may be sold at public auction. The proceeds are used to pay the delinquent amounts due, and any excess is remitted, if claimed, to the taxpayer. Additional tax liens are created when there is a change in ownership of property or upon completion of new construction. Tax bills for these new tax liens are issued throughout the fiscal year and contain various payment and delinquent dates but are generally due within one year. If the new tax liens are lower, the taxpayer receives a tax refund rather than a tax bill. Unsecured personal property taxes are not a lien against real property. These taxes are due on August 1 and become delinquent, if unpaid, on August 31. 68 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued Legislation Dissolving Redevelopment Agencies and Affect on Property Taxes State Assembly Bill (AB) x1 26, also referred to as the “Redevelopment Dissolution Act” was approved in 2011. Under AB x1 26, property tax revenues are allocated to pay enforceable legal obligations, pass-through payments and eligible administrative costs. Any remaining property tax revenues, otherwise known as “residual taxes,” are distributed as property tax revenue to the appropriate local government agencies, including the County. In FY 2018-2019, five Oversight Boards were established in the County per Senate Bill 107. The Oversight Boards are required to evaluate and approve the successor agencies’ remaining enforceable legal obligations. The County Auditor-Controller is responsible for disbursing property tax increment revenues in accordance with provisions of AB x1 26 and applicable amendments. For the year ended June 30, 2024, the County’s share of residual property tax revenues was $469.87 million, of which $391.44 million was recognized in the County’s General Fund. Deposits and Investments Deposits and investments as discussed in Note 4 are reflected in the following asset accounts: Pooled Cash and Investments As provided for by the Government Code, the cash balances of substantially all funds are pooled and invested by the County Treasurer for the purpose of increasing interest earnings through investment activities. Interest earned on pooled investments is deposited to participating funds based upon each fund's average daily deposit balance during the allocation period. Each respective fund's share of the total pooled cash and investments is included among asset balances under the caption "Pooled Cash and Investments." Pooled Cash and Investments are identified within the following categories for all County operating funds: Operating Pooled Cash and Investments This account represents amounts reflected in the County’s day-to-day financial records. Such amounts are utilized to determine the availability of cash for purposes of disbursing and borrowing funds. Other Pooled Cash and Investments This account represents amounts identified in various funds as of June 30, 2024, that were owed to or were more appropriately classified in County operating funds. Accordingly, certain cash balances have been reclassified from the custodial funds. Other Investments This account represents Pension and OPEB Trust Fund investments, various JPAs, NPCs and Public Buildings (bond financed capital assets, including leases), and amounts on deposit with the County Treasurer, which are invested separately as provided by the Government Code or by specific instructions from the depositing entities. 69 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued Deposits and Investments-Continued Restricted Assets Enterprise Funds’ restricted assets represent cash and investments of certain JPAs and Public Buildings projects restricted in accordance with the provisions of the certificates of participation issued. The Internal Service Funds’ restricted assets represent cash and investments restricted for debt service in accordance with the provisions of the LACCAL bond indenture. All of the above noted assets are included in the various disclosures in Note 4. These restricted assets are presented as noncurrent assets and are generally associated with long-term bonds and certificates of participation payable. Lease Receivable As a lessor, the County recognized a lease receivable and a corresponding deferred inflow of resources based on the payment provisions of the contracts in the government-wide statement of net position and the governmental funds balance sheet as discussed in Note 9. The lease receivable was measured at the present value of lease payments expected to be received during the lease term. The deferred inflows of resources was measured at the value of the lease receivable plus any payments received at or before the commencement of the lease term that relate to future periods. The amount of lease revenue and interest revenue are reflected as program revenues under "Charges for Services" on the statement of activities. Inventories Inventories, which consist of materials and supplies held for consumption, are valued at cost using the first in/first out basis. The inventory costs of the governmental funds are accounted for as expenditures when the inventory items are purchased. Reported inventories are categorized as nonspendable fund balance because these amounts are not available for appropriation and expenditure. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include land and easements, capital assets, in progress, buildings and improvements, equipment, intangible assets, infrastructure, and intangible right-to-use assets, are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Infrastructure assets are divided into the five following networks: road, water, sewer, flood control and aviation. Capital assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Intangible right-to-use assets are defined as lease assets and subscription assets with a useful life of more than one year and are recorded at the present value of future lease or subscription payments, including expenses to place the asset into service. In accordance with GASB Statement Nos. 87 and 96, the County has reported intangible right-to-use assets for land, buildings and improvements, equipment, and subscriptions. Donated capital assets, donated works of art and similar items, and capital assets received in a service concession arrangement are reported at acquisition value rather than fair value. 70 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued Capital Assets-Continued Capital outlay is recorded as expenditures in the governmental fund financial statements and as assets in the government-wide financial statements to the extent the County’s capitalization threshold is met. In accordance with GAAP, in FY 2020-2021, the County changed the accounting for interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period for business-type activities and enterprise funds. It requires that such interest cost be recognized as an expense in the period in which the cost is incurred. Accordingly, such interest costs for business-type activity and enterprise funds are no longer capitalized as part of the historical cost of a capital asset. The County’s capitalization thresholds are $100,000 for buildings and improvements, $5,000 for equipment, $1 million for software intangible assets, $100,000 for non-software intangible assets, $25,000 for infrastructure assets, $500,000 for lease assets, and $5,000 for subscription assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and major improvements, which significantly increase values, change capacities, or extend useful lives are capitalized subject to the threshold in the affected asset category. Upon sale or retirement of capital assets, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization, as applicable, are removed from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations. Specific disclosures related to capital assets appear in Note 5. Amortization for software, other intangible assets, lease assets, and subscription assets is included in the reporting of depreciation. Capital assets are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings and Improvements 10 to 50 years Equipment 2 to 35 years Software 5 to 25 years Infrastructure 15 to 100 years Lease assets Shorter of the asset's useful life or the lease term, or the asset's useful life if there is a purchase option likely to be exercised Subscription assets Shorter of the asset's useful life or the agreement term Works of art and historical treasures held for public exhibition, education, or research in furtherance of public service, rather than financial gain, are not capitalized. These items are protected, encumbered, conserved, and preserved by the County. It is the County’s policy to utilize proceeds from the sale of these items for the acquisition of other items for collection and display. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources The County recognizes deferred outflows of resources and/or deferred inflows of resources in the government-wide statement of net position, governmental funds balance sheets, and proprietary funds statement of net position. 71 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources-Continued In addition to assets, the financial statements report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net assets that applies to future periods and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditures) until then. In addition to liabilities, the financial statements report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time, except for pension and OPEB related deferred inflows of resources, which will be recognized as a credit to expense. Specific disclosures of items representing deferred outflows and inflows of resources appear in Note 20. Advances Payable The County uses certain funds as clearing accounts for the distribution of financial resources to other County funds. For external financial reporting purposes, the portions of the clearing account balances that pertain to other County funds should be reported as cash of the appropriate funds. The corresponding liability is included in “Advances Payable” because the amounts represent unearned revenue. The unspent balance of certain COVID-19 related financial assistance payments are recognized as Advances Payable due to the uncertainty on the revenue recognition. See Note 22 for additional information. Compensated Absences Vacation pay benefits accrue to employees ranging from 10 to 25 days per year depending on years of service and the benefit plan. Sick leave benefits accrue at the rate of 10 to 12 days per year for union represented employees depending on years of service. Non-represented employees accrue at a rate of up to eight days of sick leave per year depending on the benefit plan. Employees can also accumulate unused holiday and compensatory time off benefits throughout the year. All benefits are payable upon termination, if unused, within limits and rates as specified in the County Salary Ordinance. Liabilities for accrued compensated absences are accrued in the government-wide financial statements and in the proprietary funds. For the governmental funds, expenditures are recorded when amounts become due and payable (i.e., when employees terminate from service). Lease Liability As a lessee, a lease is defined as a contractual agreement that conveys control of the right-to-use another entity's nonfinancial asset, for a minimum contractual period of greater than one year, in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. The County leases a significant amount of nonfinancial assets such as land, buildings, and equipment. The related lease liabilities are presented in the amounts equal to the present value of lease payments, payable during the remaining lease term. A lease liability, as discussed in Note 9, and the associated right-to-use lease asset, as discussed in Note 5, is recognized on the government-wide statement of net position. 72 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued Subscription Liability A subscription is defined as a contractual agreement that conveys control of the right-to-use another entity's information technology software, for a minimum contractual period of greater than one year, in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. The County has entered into various subscription based information technology arrangements. The related subscription liabilities are presented in the amounts equal to the present value of subscription payments, payable during the remaining subscription term. A subscription liability, as discussed in Note 10, and the associated right-to-use subscription asset, as discussed in Note 5, is recognized on the government-wide statement of net position. Net Pension Liability and Related Balances For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of LACERA and additions to/deductions from LACERA’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by LACERA. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. Reported results pertain to liability and asset information within the following defined timeframes: Valuation Date - June 30, 2022 rolled forward to June 30, 2023 Measurement Date - June 30, 2023 Measurement Period - July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023 Net OPEB Liability and Related Balances - Retiree Healthcare For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability related to Retiree Healthcare, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of LACERA and additions to/deductions from LACERA’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by LACERA. For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. Reported results pertain to liability and asset information within the following defined timeframes: Valuation Date - June 30, 2022 rolled forward to June 30, 2023 Measurement Date - June 30, 2023 Measurement Period - July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023 73 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued Total OPEB Liability and Related Balances - Long-Term Disability For purposes of measuring the total OPEB liability related to Long-Term Disability (LTD), deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plan. For this purpose, the LTD plan recognizes benefit payments when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Reported results pertain to liability information within the following defined timeframes: Valuation Date - June 30, 2023 Measurement Date - June 30, 2023 Measurement Period - July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023 Long-term Debt In the government-wide and proprietary funds financial statements, long-term debt and other long- term obligations, including financed purchase obligations, are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary funds statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are recognized in the period issued. In the governmental funds financial statements, bond premiums, discounts, and issuance costs are recognized in the period issued. Issuance costs, even if withheld from the actual net proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. Interest is reported as an expenditure in the period in which the related payment is made. The matured portion of long-term debt (i.e., portion that has come due for payment) is reported as a liability in the fund financial statements of the related fund. Fund Balances In the fund financial statements, the reported fund balances are categorized as nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, or unassigned based on the extent to which the County is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent. Specific details related to Fund Balances appear in Note 21. Nonspendable Fund Balance - amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form, or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. The “not in spendable form” criterion includes items that are not expected to be converted to cash, for example: inventories and long-term notes receivable. Restricted Fund Balance - amounts with constraints placed on their use that are either (a) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Restrictions may effectively be changed or lifted only by changing the condition of the constraint. 74 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued Fund Balances-Continued Committed Fund Balance - amounts that can only be used for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the County’s highest level of decision-making authority, the County’s Board. Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the County taking the same formal action that imposed the constraint originally. The underlying action that imposed the limitation needs to occur no later than the close of the fiscal year. Assigned Fund Balance - amounts intended to be used by the County for specific purposes that are neither restricted nor committed. The intent can be established at either the highest level of decision making, or by a body or an official designated for that purpose. Authorization to assign fund balance rests with the County’s Board through the budget process. The Board has also delegated authority to the Chief Executive Officer and County Department Heads for contracts and purchasing authority. Unassigned Fund Balance - the residual classification for the County’s General Fund that includes amounts not contained in other classifications. In other funds, the unassigned classification is used only if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes. The Board establishes, modifies, or rescinds fund balance commitments by passage of an ordinance or resolution. For its budget, the County utilizes the GASB 54 criteria and an ordinance or resolution that are equally binding, for purposes of establishing a fund balance commitment. This is done through the adoption of the budget and subsequent amendments that occur throughout the fiscal year. In circumstances when an expenditure is made for a purpose for which amounts are available in multiple fund balance classifications, fund balance is generally depleted in the order of restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned. Cash Flows For purposes of reporting cash flows, all amounts reported as "Pooled Cash and Investments," "Other Investments," and "Restricted Assets" are considered cash equivalents. Pooled cash and investment amounts represent funds held in the County Treasurer's cash management pool. Other investments and restricted assets are invested in money market mutual funds and U.S. Treasury securities held by outside trustees. Such amounts are similar in nature to demand deposits (i.e., funds may be deposited and withdrawn at any time without prior notice or penalty). Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 75 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The following GASB Statements have been implemented in the current basic financial statements. GASB Statement No. 99 - Statement No. 99, "Omnibus 2022", enhances comparability in accounting and financial reporting and improves the consistency of authoritative literature by addressing (1) practice issues that have been identified during implementation and application of certain GASB Statements and (2) accounting and financial reporting for financial guarantees. GASB Statement No. 99, paragraphs 4-10, the requirements related to financial guarantees and the classification and reporting of derivative instruments within the scope of Statement 53, are effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2023. This statement did not have a material impact to the financial statements. GASB Statement No. 100 - Statement No. 100, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - an amendment of GASB Statement No. 62" enhances accounting and financial reporting requirements for accounting changes and error corrections to provide more understandable, reliable, relevant, consistent, and comparable information for making decisions or assessing accountability. This statement prescribes the accounting and financial reporting for (1) each type of accounting change and (2) error corrections. This statement requires that (a) changes in accounting principles and error corrections be reported retroactively by restating prior periods, (b) changes to or within the financial reporting entity be reported by adjusting beginning balances of the current period, and (c) changes in accounting estimates be reported prospectively by recognizing the change in the current period. The requirements of this statement for changes in accounting principles apply to the implementation of a new pronouncement in absence of specific transition provisions in the new pronouncement. This statement also requires that the aggregate amount of adjustments to and restatements of beginning net position, fund balance, or fund net position, as applicable, be displayed by reporting unit in the financial statements. This statement did not have a material impact to the financial statements. We will apply the statement as appropriate in the future. 3. DEFICIT NET POSITION The following activities/funds had a net deficit at June 30, 2024 (in thousands): Government-wide: Accumulated Deficit Governmental Activities $ 9,952,635 Business-type Activities 494,739 Enterprise Funds: Harbor-UCLA Medical Center 293,983 Olive View-UCLA Medical Center 485,777 Los Angeles General Medical Center 504,769 Rancho Los Amigos National Rehab Center 174,793 Internal Service Funds: Public Works 1,226,043 The government-wide governmental and business-type activities, enterprise and internal service funds deficits result primarily from the recognition of certain liabilities including accrued compensated absences, net pension liability, net OPEB liability, workers’ compensation, self-insurance and, for the enterprise funds, medical malpractice, and third party payors, as required by GAAP. Deficits are expected to continue until such liabilities are retired through user charges or otherwise funded. 76 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 4.

CASH AND INVESTMENTS-Continued County Treasurer Cash As of June 30, 2024, the County Treasurer (Treasurer) maintained accounts in six banks. The carrying amount of the Treasurer’s total deposits in financial institutions was $256.92 million, deposits in transit were $13.81 million, and cash in the Treasurer’s vault was $208 thousand. Under California Government Code Section 53652, each financial institution in California is required to pledge a pool of securities as collateral against all of its public deposits. California Government Code Section 53651 delineates the types of eligible securities and the required collateral percentage, generally at 110%. In addition, under California Government Code Section 53653, the Treasurer has discretion to waive security for the portion of any deposits as insured pursuant to federal law. Through contractual agreement, the Treasurer has opted to waive security for the portions of deposits that are federally insured. The total balance of deposits in financial institutions was covered by federal depository insurance or collateralized with securities monitored by the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI). DFPI confirmed that the pools of collateral related to the County Treasurer’s deposits were maintained at required levels as of June 30, 2024. County Investment Pool California Government Code Sections 53601 and 53635 authorize the Treasurer to invest the External Investment Pool (Pool) and SPI funds in obligations of the United States Treasury, federal agencies, municipalities, asset-backed securities, bankers’ acceptances, commercial paper, negotiable certificates of deposit, medium-term notes, corporate notes, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, forwards, futures, options, shares of beneficial interest of a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) that invests in authorized securities, shares of beneficial interest issued by diversified management companies known as money market mutual funds (MMF) registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), securities lending agreements, the State of California’s Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), and supranational institutions. California Government Code Section 53534 authorizes the Treasurer to enter into interest rate swap agreements. However, these agreements are only used in conjunction with the sale of the bonds approved by the Board. As permitted by the California Government Code, the Treasurer developed, and the Board adopted, an Investment Policy that further defines and restricts the limits within which the Treasurer may invest. The investments are managed by the Treasurer, which reports investment activity to the Board on a monthly basis. In addition, the Treasurer's investment activity is subject to an annual investment policy review, compliance oversight, quarterly financial review, and annual financial reporting. The Treasurer also maintains Other Specific Investments, which are invested pursuant to Section 1300.76.1, Title 28, California Code of Regulations. The County has not provided nor obtained any legally binding guarantees during the year ended June 30, 2024, to support the value of shares in the Pool. 78 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 4. CASH AND INVESTMENTS-Continued County Investment Pool-Continued The School Districts and the Superior Court are required by legal provisions to participate in the County’s investment pool. Almost sixty percent (59.06%) of the Treasurer’s Pool consists of these involuntary participants. Voluntary participants in the County’s Pool include the Sanitation Districts, Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the South Coast Air Quality Management District and other special districts with independent governing boards. The deposits held for both involuntary and voluntary entities are included in either the Investment Trust Fund or the External Investment Pool (Custodial Fund). Certain SPI have been made by the County as directed by external depositors. This investment activity occurs separately from the County’s Pool and is reported in the External Specific Investment Pool (Custodial Fund) in the amount of $225.65 million. The Pool is not registered as an investment company with the SEC. California Government Code statutes and the County Board set forth the various investment policies that the Treasurer must follow. Investments are stated at fair value and are valued daily. The Treasurer categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by GAAP. Securities classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using prices quoted in active markets for those securities. Securities classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using other observable inputs such as matrix pricing techniques or based on quoted prices for assets in markets that are not active. Matrix pricing is used to value securities based on the securities’ relationship to benchmark quoted prices. Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. Securities classified in Level 3 are valued using the income approach such as discounted cash flow techniques. Investment in an external government investment pool is not subject to reporting within the level hierarchy. Investments in LAIF are governed by the California Government Code and overseen by a five member Local Investment Advisory Board as designated by the California Government Code. As of June 30, 2024, the total amount invested by all California local governments and special districts in LAIF was $21.974 billion. LAIF is part of the State of California’s Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA), which as of June 30, 2024 had a balance of $178.041 billion. The PMIA is not SEC registered, but is required to invest according to the California Government Code. Included in the PMIA’s investment portfolio are structured notes and asset-backed securities totaling $5.348 billion at June 30, 2024. Collectively, these represent 3.00% of the PMIA balance of $178.041 billion. The SPI holdings in the LAIF investment pool as of June 30, 2024, were $42.68 million, which were valued using a fair value factor provided by LAIF. 79 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 4.

CASH AND INVESTMENTS-Continued Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The County’s Investment Policy limits most investment maturities to less than five years, with the exception of U.S. Treasury Notes, Bills, and Bonds and U.S. Agency Securities, which may have maturities beyond five years. The Treasurer manages the Pool and mitigates exposure to declines in fair value by generally investing in short-term investments with maturities of six months or less and by holding all investments to maturity. The Treasury Pool maintained the weighted average maturity range of 1.0 to 4.0 years per the Pool policy. For purposes of computing weighted average maturity, the maturity date of variable-rate notes is the stated maturity. The balance of the Pool's investments at June 30, 2024, is $56.738 billion, of which 60.03% will mature in six months or less. Of the remainder, 36.07% have a maturity of more than one year. At June 30, 2024, the weighted average maturity in years for the Pool was 1.68 years. The California Government Code and the Investment Policy allow the Treasurer to purchase floating rate notes, that is, any instruments that have a coupon interest rate that is adjusted periodically due to changes in a base or benchmark rate. The Investment Policy limits the amount invested in floating rate notes to 10% of the Pool portfolio. The Investment Policy prohibits the purchase of inverse floating rate notes and hybrid or complex structured investments and for the year ended June 30, 2024, the Pool contained floating rate notes at fair value of $14.45 million (0.03% of the Pool). The notes are tied to the six-month U.S. Treasury Bill and Bank of America prime rates. The fair value of variable securities is generally less susceptible to changes in value than fixed rate securities because the variable-rate coupon resets back to the market rate on a periodic basis. At June 30, 2024, there were no variable rate notes in the SPI and Other Specific Investments. Fair value fluctuates with interest rates, and increasing interest rates could cause fair value to decline below original cost. County management believes the liquidity in the portfolios is adequate to meet cash flow requirements and to preclude the County from having to sell investments below original cost for that purpose. Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that the Treasurer will not be able to recover the value of investment securities that are in the possession of an outside party. Investments are exposed to custodial credit risk if the securities are uninsured, are not registered in the name of the Treasurer and are held by either the counterparty, or the counterparty's trust department or agent but not in the Treasurer's name. At year-end, all Pool, SPI and Other Specific Investment securities, except for the Rancho Palos Verdes Redevelopment Agency Tax Allocation Bond (RPV Bond), Bond Anticipation Notes (BANS) and LAIF, were held by the custodian bank in the name of the Treasurer. The RPV Bond and BANS were held in the Treasurer’s vault and are recorded in the Los Angeles County Securities line item. The LAIF investments were managed by the State of California and the County is considered a pool participant. 83 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 4. CASH AND INVESTMENTS-Continued Credit Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that an issuer, or other counterparty to an investment, will not fulfill its obligations. Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of an investment in a single issuer. The County mitigates these risks by holding a diversified portfolio of high quality investments. The Investment Policy establishes acceptable credit ratings for investments from any two of three Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSRO). For an issuer of short-term debt, the rating must be no less than A-1 (S&P), P-1 (Moody’s), and F-1 (Fitch) while an issuer of long- term debt shall be rated no less than an “A.” All investments purchased during the year ended June 30, 2024 met the credit rating criteria in the Investment Policy, at the issuer level. However, while the NRSROs did rate the issuer of the investments purchased, the NRSROs did not, in all instances, rate the investment itself (e.g., commercial paper, corporate and deposit notes, negotiable certificates of deposit, and U.S. Treasury bills, bonds and notes). Accordingly, for purposes of reporting the credit quality distribution of investments, some investments are reported as not rated. The Investment Policy also permits investments in LAIF, pursuant to California Government Code Section 16429.1. At June 30, 2024, a portion of the SPI was invested in LAIF, which is unrated as to credit quality. The Pool and SPI had the following investments in a single issuer that represent 5% or more of total investments at June 30, 2024 (dollars in thousands): Issuer Pool SPI Fair Value % of Portfolio Fair Value % of Portfolio Federal Home Loan Bank $ 8,485,260 14.95% $ 100,800 27.87% Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation 7,604,010 13.40% 55,764 15.42% Federal Farm Credit Bank 6,886,059 12.14% 38,926 10.76% Federal National Mortgage Association 3,932,070 6.93% 84 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 4.

CASH AND INVESTMENTS-Continued Reverse Repurchase Agreements The California Government Code permits the Treasurer to enter into reverse repurchase agreements, that is, a sale of securities with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase them in the future at the same price plus a contract rate of interest. The fair value of the securities underlying reverse repurchase agreements normally exceeds the cash received, providing the broker-dealer a margin against a decline in the fair value of the securities. If the broker-dealer defaults on the obligation to resell these securities to the County or provide securities or cash of equal value, the County would suffer an economic loss equal to the difference between the fair value plus accrued interest of the underlying securities and the agreement obligation, including accrued interest. The County's investment guidelines limit the maximum par value of reverse repurchase agreements to $500.00 million and proceeds from reverse repurchase agreements may only be reinvested in instruments with maturities at or before the maturity of the reverse repurchase agreement. During the fiscal year, the County did not enter into any reverse repurchase agreements. Securities Lending Transactions For the year ended June 30, 2024, the Pool did not enter into any securities lending transactions. Cash and Investments - Held by Outside Trustees NPC and JPAs have been established for the purpose of rendering assistance to the County to refinance, acquire, construct, improve, lease and sell properties and equipment, including the construction of buildings, and purchase of equipment, land, and any other real or personal property, for the benefit of County residents, through the issuance of bonds, certificates of participation notes (COPs) and commercial paper. The NPC and JPAs’ cash is invested with the outside trustees and the amounts are held in the NPC and JPAs name. Investment practices are governed by the County’s investment guidelines, established pursuant to the California Government Code and the County Board's action. Investments are stated at fair value. Deposits held by outside trustees as of June 30, 2024 were $163. A total of $71.80 million of investments held by outside trustees are invested in the Pool.

CASH AND INVESTMENTS-Continued LACERA Investment Portfolio-Continued Investment Risks The County Employees Retirement Law of 1937 (CERL) vests the Board of Investments (BOI) with exclusive control over LACERA’s investment portfolio. The BOI established Investment Policy Statements and Manager Guidelines for the management of the LACERA defined benefit retirement plan (Pension Plan) and the LACERA Other Post-Employment Benefit Master Trust (OPEB Master Trust or OPEB Trust). BOI exercises authority and control over the management of LACERA’s investment assets by setting a policy that the investment office executes either internally or through the use of prudent external experts. Each Investment Policy Statement recognizes that every investment asset class and type is subject to certain risks. Outlined below are the deposit and investment risks as they relate to fixed income investments. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or a counterparty to an investment transaction will not fulfill its obligations, causing the investment to decline in value. LACERA seeks to maintain a diversified portfolio of fixed and floating rate instruments in order to obtain the highest total return for the Pension plan at an acceptable level of risk within this asset class. To manage credit risk, credit guidelines have been established. Investment Grade Bonds Investment Grade bonds are categorized as a component of the Risk Reduction and Mitigation functional asset category. The majority of this category is invested in an indexing strategy that provides exposure to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. LACERA also invests with managers that employ a low active-risk "core bond" approach. Investment guidelines require that managers invest predominantly in sectors represented in their benchmark index. As a result, these portfolios contain almost 100% of bonds rated investment grade by the major credit rating agencies: Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch. High Yield Bonds Dedicated High Yield bond portfolios are categorized in the Credit functional asset category. By definition, high yield bonds are securities rated below investment grade. Therefore, the majority of bonds in the high yield portfolios are rated below investment grade by at least one of the major credit rating agencies: Moody's, S&P, and Fitch. The credit portfolios allow for the assumption of more credit risk than Investment Grade portfolios by investing in securities that include unrated bonds, bonds rated below investment grade issued by corporations undergoing financial stress or distress, junior tranches of structured securities backed by residential and commercial mortgages, bank loans, illiquid credit, and emerging market debt. LACERA utilizes specific investment manager guidelines for these portfolios that may include limiting maximum exposure by issuer, industry, and sector, which result in well-diversified portfolios. 88 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 4.

When held in custody by the Bank, the securities are not at risk of loss in the event of the Bank’s financial failure, because the securities are not property (assets) of the Bank. Cash invested overnight in the Bank’s depository accounts is subject to the risk that in the event of the Bank’s failure, LACERA might not recover all or some of those overnight deposits. This risk is mitigated when the overnight deposits are insured or collateralized. LACERA’s policy as incorporated in its current contract with the Bank requires the Bank to certify it has taken all steps to assure all LACERA monies on deposit with the Bank are eligible for and covered by pass-through insurance, in accordance with applicable law and FDIC rules and regulations. The steps taken by the Bank include paying deposit insurance premiums when due, maintaining a prompt corrective action capital category of “well capitalized,” and identifying on the Bank’s records that it acts as a fiduciary for LACERA with respect to the monies on deposit. In addition, the Bank is required to provide evidence of insurance and to maintain a financial institution bond, which would cover the loss of money and securities with respect to any and all property the Bank or its agents hold in or for LACERA’s account, up to the amount of the bond. 90 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 4. CASH AND INVESTMENTS-Continued LACERA Investment Portfolio-Continued To implement certain investment strategies, some of LACERA’s assets are invested in investment managers’ pooled vehicles. The securities in these vehicles may be held by a different custodian other than the Bank. Counterparty Risk Counterparty risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to complete a transaction, LACERA would not be able to recover the value of the investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. LACERA and its investment managers seek to minimize risk of loss from its counterparties by diversifying the number of counterparties, periodically reviewing their credit quality, and seeking to structure agreements so that collateral is posted on accrued gains if they reach certain size thresholds. On March 31, 2024, LACERA sold 17 private equity limited partnership interests, which were valued at $1.221 billion to three separate buyers. The buyer will remit payments for these partnership interests to LACERA at the end of an 18-month deferral period on September 30, 2025. To estimate the fair value of these transactions, LACERA discounted the future payments to net present value utilizing a 5.00% discount rate, which included the current swap rate plus an appropriate spread, to arrive at the long-term Notes Receivable-Sale of Investments balance of $1.149 billion. LACERA determined the fair value of these payments applying judgment and considering factors such as general market conditions and the time value of money. LACERA contemplated other elements of the transactions, including each buyer's respective risk of default, which did not impact the fair value for this reporting period. Concentration of Credit Risk Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss that can occur when there is a concentration of exposure to a single or small number of debt issuers versus having exposure to a relatively more diversified pool of debt issuers. For diversification purposes, all investment grade and liquid credit portfolios limit the exposure to a single issuer. This limitation does not apply to U.S. Treasury securities, government-guaranteed debt (including G-7 countries), agency debt, agency mortgage- backed securities, and approved commingled funds and fund-of-one vehicles. As of June 30, 2024, LACERA did not hold any investments in any one debt issuer that would represent 5.00% or more of the Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position. Investments issued or explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government and pooled investments are excluded from this requirement. Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a fixed income portfolio to changes in interest rates. It is calculated as the weighted average time to receive a bond’s coupon and principal payments. The longer the duration of a portfolio, the greater its price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. 91 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 4. CASH AND INVESTMENTS-Continued LACERA Investment Portfolio-Continued Interest Rate Risk-Continued To manage interest rate risk, investment manager guidelines require that the duration of all investment grade bond portfolios must remain within a range centered around the duration of the benchmark index. Deviations from any of the portfolio structure guidelines are monitored as part of LACERA's compliance review process. The Duration in Fixed Income Securities - Pension Plan schedule for the year ended June 30, 2024 presents the duration by investment type.

Foreign Currency Risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that changes in exchange rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment or deposit. LACERA’s investment managers are permitted to invest in approved countries or regions, as stated in their respective investment manager guidelines. To mitigate foreign currency risk with global equity, LACERA has implemented a passive currency hedging program, which hedges into U.S. dollars approximately 50% of LACERA’s foreign currency exposure for developed market equities. The following schedules represent LACERA’s exposure to foreign currency risk in U.S. dollars. Most of the exposure is from separately managed accounts with the remaining exposure from non-U.S. commingled funds that are denominated in foreign currency. For the commingled funds, LACERA owns units, and the fund holds the actual securities and/or currencies. The values shown include LACERA’s separately managed account holdings and the pro-rata portion of non-U.S. commingled fund holdings. 93 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 4.

LACERA generates income by lending securities that it owns to market participants such as brokers and dealers ("borrowers"). In return for lending securities, LACERA receives collateral, either in the form of cash or other securities. When cash collateral is received, LACERA pays the borrower interest on the cash and invests it with the goal of earning a higher yield than the interest rate paid to the borrower. When non-cash collateral is received, the borrower pays a fee for borrowing the securities. At the end of the loan, the borrower returns the securities and LACERA returns the collateral. In addition, either party to the transaction can terminate a loan on demand. Bank is the sole manager of LACERA's custodian and the lending agent for LACERA's securities lending program. The amount of collateral LACERA receives is based on the market value of the security loaned and depends on the type of security: 105% of market value for non-U.S. securities and 102% on U.S. securities are the minimum amounts of collateral received. State Street Global Advisors invests the cash collateral received from the lending program. The collateral is invested in short-term highly liquid instruments. Loans are marked-to-market daily, so that if the fair value of a security on loan rises, LACERA receives additional collateral. Conversely, if the fair value of a security on loan declines, LACERA returns a portion of the collateral. Earnings generated in excess of the interest paid to the borrowers represent net investment income to LACERA. 95 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 4. CASH AND INVESTMENTS-Continued LACERA Investment Portfolio-Continued Securities Lending Program-Continued Under the terms of the lending agreement, the lending agent provides indemnification against borrower default. In the event a borrower does not return securities on loan, the terms of the lending agreement entitle LACERA to terminate the loan and use the collateral to purchase a like amount of “replacement securities”. In the event the purchase price of replacement securities exceeds the amount of collateral, the lending agent is liable to LACERA for the difference, plus interest. At fiscal year-end, LACERA had no credit risk exposure to borrowers, because the amount of collateral received exceeded the value of securities on loan. LACERA had no losses on securities lending transactions resulting from the default of a borrower for the year ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of securities on loan was $7.972 billion, with a value of cash collateral received of $2.359 billion, which is included in Other payables on the financial statements, and non-cash collateral of $6.086 billion. LACERA’s investment income, net of expenses from securities lending, was $18.12 million for the year ended June 30, 2024.

CASH AND INVESTMENTS-Continued LACERA Investment Portfolio-Continued Hedge Funds LACERA's Investment Policy Statement establishes the portfolio framework and role of the hedge funds program. Diversified hedge funds comprise a variety of hedged investments, such as relative value, arbitrage, and long/short strategies within a diversified portfolio. The status of LACERA's hedge fund investment program as of June 30, 2024 is as follows: • In the core hedge funds portfolio, LACERA is invested in nine direct hedge fund managers and one hedge fund-of-funds manager. • LACERA is invested in a total of ten hedge fund emerging managers in the hedge funds emerging manager program. Stable Asset Management, LACERA's discretionary separate account manager for the hedge funds emerging manager program, selected three new emerging managers during FY 2023-2024. • LACERA continues to maintain one hedge fund of funds manager, Grosvenor Capital Management (GCM). In 2019, LACERA initiated the full redemption of the GCM hedge fund of funds' portfolio. This portfolio began returning cash during FY 2019-2020 and will continue to distribute cash in alignment with the liquidity terms of the portfolio or underlying managers. GCM is managing the redemption process of the GCM portfolio. The investment performance for this strategy is measured separately from other asset classes. The fair value of assets invested in hedge funds as of June 30, 2024 was $4.875 billion. The core portfolio, emerging manager portfolio, and GCM hedge funds of funds portfolio reside within Diversified Hedge Funds under the Risk Reduction and Mitigation functional asset category of LACERA's Total Fund. Fair Value LACERA categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by GAAP. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the investment securities and holdings. The fair value hierarchy includes three levels and one additional category. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. Certain other investments held by LACERA are valued at net asset value (NAV) per share when an investment does not have a readily determined fair value, provided that the NAV is calculated and used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value in accordance with the requirements of GAAP. The table below illustrates investments classified by their fair value hierarchy (Levels 1, 2, and 3) as well as investments measured at NAV. 97 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 4. CASH AND INVESTMENTS-Continued LACERA Investment Portfolio-Continued Fair Value-Continued Equity and Fixed Income Securities Equity securities classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using prices quoted in active markets issued by pricing vendors for these securities. Fixed income and equity securities classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using prices determined by matrix pricing techniques maintained by the various pricing vendors for these securities. Equity securities classified in Level 2 are not traded in the active market. Matrix pricing is used to value securities based on the securities’ relationship to benchmark quoted prices. These matrix pricing techniques incorporate inputs such as yield, prepayment speeds, and credit spreads for fixed income securities. Derivative securities classified as Level 2 are securities whose value are either derived daily from associated securities that are traded, or are determined by using a market approach that considers benchmark interest rates. Fixed income and equity securities classified in Level 3 are securities whose stated market price is unobservable by the marketplace; many of these securities are priced by the issuers or industry groups for these securities. Fair value is defined as the quoted market value on the last trading day of the period. These prices are obtained from various pricing sources by the Bank. Hedge Funds, Private Equity, Real Assets, Real Estate, Equity, and Fixed Income Funds Investments in hedge funds, private equity, real assets, real estate, equity and fixed income funds are valued at the estimated net asset value (NAV) based upon the fair value of the underlying investments, as determined in good faith by the General Partner (GP), in accordance with GAAP fair value principles in instances where no observable public market values are available. Investments that are estimated at fair value are initially valued at cost with subsequent adjustments that reflect third party transactions, financial operating results, and other factors deemed relevant by the GP. These assets are reported by LACERA based on the practical expedient allowed under GAAP. In instances where observable public market values are available for the underlying securities held, fair value is determined by the fund's administrator using independent pricing sources. Real Estate Separate Account Investments Real estate investments are valued at NAV, based upon estimated fair value, as determined in good faith by the Investment Manager. These investments are initially valued at cost with subsequent adjustments that reflect third party transactions, financial operating results, and other factors deemed relevant by the Investment Manager. Properties are subject to independent third party appraisals annually. 98 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 4.

Approximately 65% of assets are available for redemption within 12 months; these funds provide daily, monthly or quarterly liquidity. Approximately 35% of the fund assets have liquidity beyond 12 months. (2) Commingled Equity Funds: 1 equity fund is considered commingled in nature. The fund is valued at the NAV of units held at the end of the period based upon the fair value of the underlying investments. The fund represents 2% of the equity assets and is subject to a lock up period that limits redemptions for the next year. (3) Hedge Funds: This portfolio consists of 18 current funds and 1 fund of funds. Hedge Fund investments are valued at NAV per share. When considering liquidity terms of the current funds, 75% of the fund assets are available for redemption within 12 months; these funds provide monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual liquidity. Some of these funds are subject to redemption notices that extend the time frame to receive redemptions beyond the next 12 months. Approximately 25% of fund assets are in funds that offer periodic liquidity that extends beyond the next 12 months. LACERA's Hedge Funds portfolio invests in the following strategies: (a) Macro and Tactical Trading: This strategy makes investments based on analyses and forecasts of macroeconomic trends, including governmental and central bank policies, fiscal trends, trade imbalances, interest rate trends, inter-country relations, and economic and technical analysis. (b) Equity Long/Short: This strategy purchases and/or sells equities based on fundamental and/or quantitative analysis and other factors. (c) Credit: This strategy includes long-biased credit, long/short credit, structured credit, and mortgage credit. (d) Relative Value: This strategy’s focus is to benefit from valuation discrepancies that may be present in related financial instruments by purchasing and/or shorting these instruments. (e) Multi-Strategy: This strategy aims to pursue varying strategies to diversify risks and reduce volatility. (f) Event Driven: This strategy seeks to gain an advantage from pricing inefficiencies that may occur in the onset or aftermath of a corporate action or related event. (4) Private Equity, Real Assets, and Real Estate Funds: LACERA’s Private Equity portfolio consists of 278 funds, investing primarily in buyout funds, with some exposure to venture capital, special situations, fund of funds, and co-investments. Due to contractual limitations, none of the funds are eligible for redemption. The Real Assets portfolio consists of 29 funds, investing primarily in infrastructure and natural resources. 4 of the funds are eligible for redemption after an initial lock-up period, and the other 25 of the funds are not eligible for redemption as the lock-up period is typically from 10-15 years. The Real Estate portfolio, composed of 28 commingled funds, invests in both U.S. and Non-U.S. commercial real estate. The fair values of these funds have been determined using net assets valued at the end of the period and net assets valued one quarter in arrears plus current quarter cash flows. 6 out of 28 Real Estate funds are eligible for redemption depending upon the availability of cash for redemptions in the fund.

PUBLIC-PRIVATE AND PUBLIC-PUBLIC PARTNERSHIPS AND AVAILABILITY AGREEMENTS GASB 94, “Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships (PPPs) and Availability Payment Arrangements (APAs)" (GASB 94) defines a PPP as an arrangement in which the government (the transferor) contracts with an operator to provide public services by conveying control of the right to operate or use a nonfinancial asset, such as infrastructure or other capital asset (the underlying PPP asset), for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction type of public-private or public-public partnership. Some PPPs meet the definition of a service concession arrangement (SCA), which the board defines in this statement as a PPP in which (1) the operator collects and is compensated by fees from third parties; (2) the transferor determines or has the ability to modify or approve which services the operator is required to provide, to whom the operator is required to provide the services, and the prices or rates that can be charged for the services; and (3) the transferor is entitled to significant residual interest in the service utility of the underlying PPP asset at the end of the arrangement. An APA is an arrangement in which a government compensates an operator for services that may include designing, constructing, financing, maintaining, or operating an underlying nonfinancial asset for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. The County determined that golf courses met the criteria set forth in GASB 94 (where the County is the transferor) and therefore included these SCAs in the County’s financial statements as deferred inflows of resources. GASB 94 also provides guidance on accounting treatment if the County were acting as an operator of another government’s facility. The County has determined that there are no incidences where the County would qualify as an operator. 107 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 6. PUBLIC-PRIVATE AND PUBLIC-PUBLIC PARTNERSHIPS AND AVAILABILITY AGREEMENTS- Continued Golf Courses The County manages a public golf course system, which offers affordable greens fees, discount programs for senior citizens and students, and a junior golf program. Each golf course is leased under agreement with an operator, which provides for activities such as golf course management, clubhouse operations, and food and beverage concessions. The operators collect user fees and are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the golf courses. The operators are required to operate and maintain the golf courses, and make installment payments to the County, in accordance with their respective contracts. As of June 30, 2024, the present value of the installment payments under contract is estimated to be $82.58 million and reported as deferred inflows of resources in the statement of net position. The present values of the installment payments were calculated using discount rates of 5.12%, 3.55%, 3.70%, 1.87% and 4.20% for the term of the agreement for each SCA. The lease terms for the twenty golf courses cover remaining periods ranging from 3 to 15 years as of June 30, 2024. The FY 2023-2024 total monthly installment payments are approximately $815,000. The County primarily uses the proceeds to fund parks and recreation operations, 10% of which is set aside for future golf course capital improvements. The acquisition value of the golf courses, including land, buildings, and construction in progress, is reported at $21.73 million as of June 30, 2024. 7. PENSION PLAN Plan Description The County pension plan is administered by LACERA, which was established under the CERL. LACERA is a cost-sharing, multi-employer defined benefit plan. It provides benefits to employees of the County and the following additional entities that are not part of the County's reporting entity: Los Angeles Superior Court Little Lake Cemetery District Local Agency Formation Commission Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) New employees of LACOE hired on or after July 1971 and new employees of SCAQMD hired after December 31, 1979 are not eligible for LACERA benefits. LACERA issues a stand-alone financial report, which is available at its offices located at Gateway Plaza, 300 N. Lake Avenue, Pasadena, California 91101-4199 or at www.LACERA.com. Benefits Provided Benefits are authorized in accordance with the California Constitution, the CERL, the bylaws, and procedures and policies adopted by LACERA's Boards of Retirement and Investments. The County Board may also adopt resolutions, as permitted by CERL, which may affect the benefits of LACERA members. 108 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 7. PENSION PLAN-Continued Benefits Provided-Continued LACERA provides retirement, disability, death benefits and cost of living adjustments to eligible members. Vesting occurs when a member accumulates 5 years of creditable service under contributory plans or accumulates 10 years of creditable service under the general service non- contributory plan. Benefits are based upon 12 or 36 months' average compensation, depending on the plan, as well as age at retirement and length of service as of the retirement date, according to applicable statutory formula. Vested members who terminate employment before retirement age are considered terminated vested (deferred) members. Service-connected disability benefits may be granted regardless of length of service consideration. Five years of service are required for nonservice-connected disability eligibility according to applicable statutory formula. Members of the non-contributory plan, who are covered under separate long-term disability provisions not administered by LACERA, are not eligible for disability benefits provided by LACERA. Contributions LACERA has nine benefit tiers known as A, B, C, D, E and G, and Safety A, B and C. All tiers except E are employee contributory. Tier E is employee non-contributory. Prior to December 31, 2012, new general members were only eligible for tier D or E and new safety members were only eligible for Safety B. As of January 1, 2013, new general employees are only eligible for tier G and new safety members are only eligible for Safety C. These new tiers were added as a result of the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) and became effective January 1, 2013. Rates for the tiers are established in accordance with State law by LACERA's Boards of Retirement and Investments and the County Board. The following employer rates were in effect for FY 2023-2024: July 1, 2023 - September 15, 2023 A B C D E G General Members 31.11% 24.13% 21.23% 22.75% 24.30% 22.66% Safety Members 39.93% 34.79% 27.91% September 16, 2023 - June 30, 2024 A B C D E G General Members 31.52% 25.79% 22.45% 24.16% 25.74% 23.96% Safety Members 42.18% 36.31% 29.48% The rates were determined by the actuarial valuations performed as of June 30, 2022. The investment rate of return assumption used in the valuation performed as of June 30, 2022 remained at 7.00%. The employer contribution rates used in FY 2023-2024, beginning September 16, 2023, increased from 0.41% to 2.25% over the rates used in FY 2022-2023 and may increase again during the following fiscal year. The most significant factors causing the increase were increases to the normal cost rate and deferred recognition of new assumptions. Employee rates vary by option and employee entry age from 6% to 18% of their annual covered salary. During FY 2023-2024, the County contributed the full amount of the Actuarial Determined Contribution, as determined by the actuarial valuations, in the form of semi-monthly cash payments in the amount of $2.411 billion. 109 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 7. PENSION PLAN-Continued Net Pension Liability, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions At June 30, 2024, the County reported a liability of $14.074 billion for its proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2023, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2022, projected forward to the measurement date, taking into account any significant changes between the valuation date and the measurement date. The County’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the County’s future contribution effort to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all pension plan participants, actuarially determined. At June 30, 2023, the County’s proportionate share was 96.28%, which was a decrease of (0.19)% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2022. For the year ended June 30, 2024, the County recognized pension expense of $386.50 million which is reported as $346.03 million for governmental activities and $40.47 million for business-type activities. Pension expense represents the change in the net pension liability during the measurement period, adjusted for actual contributions and the deferred recognition of changes in investment gain/loss, actuarial gain/loss, actuarial assumptions or methods, and plan benefits. At June 30, 2024, the County reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources (in thousands): Deferred Inflows Deferred Outflows of Resources of Resources Net difference between projected and actual earnings $ $ 100,005 Change in assumptions 2,340,769 Change in experience 5,720 1,598,001 Change in proportion and differences between County contributions and proportionate share of contributions 281,397 287,374 Contributions made subsequent to measurement date 2,410,853 Total $ 287,117 $ 6,737,002 Deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources above represent the unamortized portion of changes to net pension liability to be recognized in future periods in a systematic and rational manner. Investment gains or losses are recognized in pension expense over a 5 year period and economic/demographic gains or losses and assumption changes or inputs are recognized over the average remaining service life for all active and inactive members, which is 7 years as of June 30, 2023. 110 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 7. PENSION PLAN-Continued Net Pension Liability, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions-Continued Amounts currently reported as deferred outflows and inflows of resources, other than contributions related to pension, will be recognized in pension expense as follows (in thousands): Deferred Outflows/(Inflows) Year Ending June 30: of Resources 2024 $ 818,952 2025 (92,112) 2026 2,081,272 2027 726,290 2028 289,791 Thereafter 214,839 Deferred outflows of $2.411 billion related to contributions subsequent to the measurement date will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the subsequent fiscal period rather than the current fiscal period. As of the measurement date of June 30, 2024, the Pension Plan's fiduciary net position increased approximately $5.350 billion due to significant increases in the fair value of the Pension Plan's investments. Overall, the increase in the fiduciary net position and increase in the total pension liability of $4.245 billion from interest and service costs, resulted in a decrease in net pension liability from $14.618 billion to $13.513 billion. The County's proportionate share of the Pension Plan's net pension liability was 96.28% as of June 30, 2023 and is historically above 96%. Actuarial Assumptions Valuation Timing June 30, 2022, rolled forward to June 30, 2023 Actuarial Cost Method Individual Entry Age Normal Inflation 2.75% General Wage Growth 3.25% Projected Salary Increases 3.66% to 12.54% Investment Rate of Return 7.15%, net of investment expense, including inflation Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA) Post-retirement benefit increases of either 2.75% or 2.00% per year are assumed based on the benefits provided. Supplemental Targeted Adjustment for Retirees (STAR) COLA benefits are assumed to be substantively automatic at the 80% purchasing power level until the STAR reserve is projected to be insufficient to pay further STAR benefits.

Experience Study Covers the 3 year period ended June 30, 2022. 111 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 7. PENSION PLAN-Continued Actuarial Assumptions-Continued The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments (7.00%, net of all expenses) was determined using a building block method in which a median, or expected, geometric rate of return was developed for each major asset class. The median rates were combined to produce the long- term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future rates of return by the target asset allocation percentages. For the year ended June 30, 2023: Weighted Average Long-Term Expected Rate of Return (After Expected 2.75% Inflation Rate) Asset Class Target Allocation (Geometric) Growth 53.00% 6.20 % Global Equity 32.00 % 5.00 % Private Equity 17.00 % 7.00 % Non-Core Private Real Estate 4.00 % 6.50 % Credit 11.00% 3.10 % Liquid Credit 4.00 % 2.20 % Illiquid Credit 7.00 % 3.30 % Real Assets and Inflation Hedges 17.00% 3.70 % Core Private Real Estate 6.00 % 3.20 % Natural Resources and Commodities 3.00 % 3.90 % Infrastructure 5.00 % 4.90 % TIPS 3.00 % 0.10 % Risk Reduction and Mitigation 19.00% 1.10 % Investment Grade Bonds 7.00 % 0.20 % Diversified Hedge Fund Portfolio 6.00 % 2.10 % Long-Term Government Bonds 5.00 % 0.70 % Cash Equivalents 1.00 % (0.80) % Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.13%. This is equal to the 7.00% long-term investment return assumption adopted by LACERA (net of investment and administrative expenses), plus 0.13% assumed administrative expenses. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate, and that County contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and member rates. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be sufficient to pay all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive plan members. Therefore, the discount rate for calculating the total pension liability is equal to the long-term expected rate of return, gross of administrative expenses. 112 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 7.

Deferred Compensation Plans The County offers to its employees three deferred compensation plans created in accordance with Sections 401 and 457 of the Internal Revenue Code. One or more of these plans are available to substantially all employees and allow participants to defer a portion of their current income until future years. Plan Description and Funding Policy The Deferred Compensation and Thrift Plan was established as a Section 457 defined contribution plan covering employees who have achieved full time and permanent employment status. The plan is designed to permit these employees to voluntarily defer a portion of their compensation and provide for retirement and death benefits. The plan is funded by employer and employee contributions. As of June 30, 2024, the County provided up to a 4% matching contribution per pay period of the employee’s voluntary contribution. Employer and employee contributions are deposited into the participant accounts and invested based on participant selected options. Total employer contributions for the year ended June 30, 2024, were $323.45 million. The Savings Plan is a Section 401(k) defined contribution plan covering eligible full-time permanent employees of the County not covered by collective bargaining agreements and who desire to participate in the plan. Employees eligible for voluntary participation in this plan are also eligible for participation in the Deferred Compensation and Thrift Plan. The plan is funded by employer and employee contributions. As of June 30, 2024, the County provided up to a 4% matching contribution per pay period of the employee’s voluntary contribution. Employer and employee contributions are deposited into the participant accounts and invested based on participant selected options. Total employer contributions for the year ended June 30, 2024, were $88.12 million. 113 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 7. PENSION PLAN-Continued Deferred Compensation Plans-Continued Plan Description and Funding Policy-Continued The Pension Savings Plan is a Section 457 defined contribution plan covering part-time, temporary and seasonal County employees who are not eligible to participate in the retirement programs provided through the LACERA. The plan was established in lieu of employee coverage under Social Security. Participation in the plan is mandatory and employees must contribute a minimum of 4.5% of their eligible earnings and the County makes a contribution equal to 3% of compensation. Participants may contribute additional amounts beyond the required 4.5%. Total employer contributions for the year ended June 30, 2024, were $9.87 million. The plans are administered through a third-party administrator. The assets of the plans are held in trust by Great West Trust Company LLC and invested at the direction of the participants. Thus, plan assets and any related liability to plan participants have been excluded from the County’s financial statements. 8. OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS Retiree Healthcare Plan Description LACERA administers an agent multiple-employer Retiree Healthcare (RHC) OPEB program on behalf of the County, its affiliated Superior Court, and four outside districts. The outside districts include: Little Lake Cemetery District, Local Agency Formation Commission, LACOE and the South Coast Air Quality Management District. As of July 1, 2018, LACERA transitioned the OPEB program from a cost-sharing, multiple-employer plan. The agent plan structure determines program liabilities and costs directly by employer and allocates shared expenses. The measurement date for the RHC OPEB program is June 30, 2023. In April 1982, the County adopted an ordinance pursuant to Government Code Section 31691, which provided for a health insurance program and death benefits for retired employees and their dependents. In 1994, the County amended the agreements to continue to support LACERA’s retiree insurance benefits program regardless of the status of active member insurance. In June 2014, the LACERA Board approved the County’s request to modify the agreements to create a new retiree healthcare benefit plan in order to lower its Retiree Healthcare Program (RHP) costs. Structurally, this means the County will be segregating all current retirees and current employees into RHP Tier 1 and placing all employees hired after June 30, 2014 into RHP Tier 2. Under RHP Tier 2, retirees who are eligible for Medicare will be required to enroll in that program. In addition, coverage will be available for employees or eligible survivors only. 114 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 8. OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS-Continued Retiree Healthcare-Continued Plan Description-Continued Pursuant to the 1982, 1994, and 2014 Agreements between the County and LACERA, the parties agreed to the continuation of the health insurance benefits then in existence. The County agreed to subsidize a portion of the insurance premiums of certain retired members and their eligible dependents based on the member’s length of service. The County further agreed to maintain the status quo of existing benefits provided to participants. As part of the 2014 Agreement, the County modified the existing healthcare benefit plan, which created a new benefit structure, Tier 2, for all employees hired after June 30, 2014. LACERA agreed not to change retired members’ contributions toward insurance premiums or modify medical benefit levels without the County’s prior consent. Active employees are not required to make contributions to the plan. Pursuant to the California Government Code, the County established an irrevocable OPEB Trust for the purpose of holding and investing assets to pre-fund the RHP, which LACERA administers. On May 15, 2012, the County Board entered into a trust and investment services agreement with the LACERA Board of Investments to act as trustee and investment manager. The OPEB Trust does not modify the County’s benefit programs. LACERA issues a stand-alone financial report that includes the required information for the OPEB plan. The report is available at its offices located at Gateway Plaza, 300 North Lake Avenue, Pasadena, California 91101-4199 or www.LACERA.com. Benefits Provided Health care benefits earned by County employees are dependent on the number of completed years of retirement service credited to the retiree by LACERA upon retirement; it does not include reciprocal service in another retirement system. Service includes all service on which the member's retirement allowance was based. The RHC OPEB Program offers members an extensive choice of medical plans as well as two dental/vision plans. The medical plans are either HMOs or indemnity plans, and some are designed to work with Medicare benefits, such as the Medicare Supplement or Medicare HMO plans. Coverage is available regardless of preexisting medical conditions. Under Tier 2, retirees who are eligible for Medicare are required to enroll in that program. Medicare-eligible retirees and their covered dependents must enroll in Medicare Parts A and B and in a Medicare HMO plan or Medicare Supplement plan under Tier 2. Medical and Dental/Vision - Program benefits are provided through third party insurance carriers with the participant’s cost for medical and dental/vision insurance varying according to the years of retirement service credit with LACERA, the plan selected, and the number of persons covered. The County contribution subsidizing the participant’s cost starts at 10 years of service credit in the amount of 40% of the lesser of the benchmark plan rate or the premium of the plan in which the retiree is enrolled. For each year of retirement service credit earned beyond 10 years, the County contributes 4% per year, up to a maximum of 100% for a member with 25 years of service credit. The County contribution can never exceed the premium of the benchmark plans. Members are responsible for premium amounts above the benchmark plans, including those with 25 or more years of service credit. 115 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 8. OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS-Continued Retiree Healthcare-Continued Benefits Provided-Continued Under Tier 1, the County subsidy is based on the coverage elected by the retiree. The benchmark plans are Anthem Blue Cross Plans I and II for medical and Cigna Indemnity Dental/Vision for dental and vision. Under Tier 2, the County subsidy is based on retiree only coverage. Tier 2 medical benchmark plans are Anthem Blue Cross Plans I and II for Medicare-ineligible members, Anthem Blue Cross Plan III for Medicare-eligible members, and Cigna Indemnity Dental/Vision for dental and vision plans. Medicare Part B - The County reimburses the member’s Medicare Part B standard rate premiums paid by member to Social Security for Part B coverage, subject to annual approval by the County Board of Supervisors. Eligible members and their dependents must be enrolled in both Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B and enrolled in a LACERA- administered Medicare HMO Plan or Medicare Supplement Plan and meet all of the qualifications. Under Tier 2, the County reimburses for Medicare Part B (at the standard rate) for eligible members or eligible survivors only. Disability - If a member is granted a service-connected disability retirement and has less than 13 years of service, the County contributes the lesser of 50% of the benchmark plan rate or the premium of the plan in which the retiree is enrolled. Under Tier 2, the benchmark plan rate is based on retiree-only premiums. A member with 13 years of service credit receives a 52% subsidy. This percentage increases 4% for each additional completed year of service, up to a maximum of 100%. Death/Burial Benefit - There is a one-time lump-sum $5,000 death/burial benefit payable to the designated beneficiary upon the death of a retiree, reimbursed to LACERA by the County. Active and vested terminated (deferred) members are eligible for this benefit once they retire. Spouses and dependents are not eligible for this death benefit.

In December 2017, the LACERA Board of Investments adopted a revised asset allocation policy which divides the OPEB Trust into four broad functional categories and contains asset classes that align with the purpose of each function. The approved target weights provide for diversification of assets in an effort to meet the LACERA's actuarial assumed rate of return, consistent with market conditions and risk control. The following was the adopted asset allocation policy as of June 30, 2023. 118 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 8.

The money-weighted rate of return expresses investment performance, net of investment expense, adjusted for the changing amounts actually invested. For the measurement date of June 30, 2022, the annual money- weighted rate of return was also 6.00%. Discount Rate GAAP requires determination of whether the OPEB Trust’s Fiduciary Net Position is projected to be sufficient to make projected benefit payments. The Plan’s fiduciary net position was not projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive employees. Therefore, the discount rate incorporates a municipal bond rate based on the 20-year Bond Buyer GO index (municipal bond rate) which was 3.65% as of June 30, 2023. For 2023, the long-term expected rate of return of 6.00% was applied to projected benefit payments from 2023 to 2063. The municipal bond rate was applied to the remaining periods. The resultant blended discount rate used to measure the Total OPEB Liability as of June 30, 2023 was 5.04%, an increase of 0.19% from the rate as of June 30, 2022. 119 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 8.

LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS-Continued Notes, Loans, and Lease Revenue Obligation Notes-Continued Lease Revenue Obligation Notes from Direct Borrowings LRON provide the County with a flexible and cost-effective source of financing to provide interim funding during the initial construction phase of a capital project and fund tenant improvements cost on certain leases, which may be refinanced with the issuance of long-term bonds upon completion. Repayment of LRON is secured by four irrevocable direct-pay letters of credit (LOC) from separate banks supporting the issuance of LRON. This program is secured by fifteen County-owned properties pledged as collateral in a lease-revenue financing structure with LACCAL. The LOCs were issued for a five-year period with the option to extend the LOCs for an additional one-year period or to some other term mutually agreed to with the participating banks. The LOCs had an original termination date of April 30, 2024, but were extended to July 18, 2024. The aggregate maximum principal amount of the four LOCs is $600.00 million, which consists of $100.00 million of Series A (BMO Bank, as successor by merger to Bank of the West), $200.00 million of Series B (U.S. Bank), $200.00 million of Series C (Wells Fargo Bank), and $100.00 million of Series D (State Street Bank). The County is responsible for the payment of a non-refundable letter of credit fee for each LOC on a quarterly basis in an amount equal to the rate per annum corresponding to the lowest long-term unenhanced debt ratings assigned by any of Moody’s, S&P, or Fitch to any Lease Obligation Debt of the County. The letter of credit fee for all four series of LOCs is equal to 0.35% of the maximum principal amount of the LOC. As of June 30, 2024, $459.98 million of LRON issued under the program were outstanding, including $80.00 million of Series A, $112.13 million of Series B, $167.85 million of Series C, and $100.00 million of Series D. LRON are issued as variable rate instruments with a maximum term not to exceed 270 days. On the maturity date of LRON, the notes are reissued at the prevailing interest rates in the note market, which reflects the term of the note and the perceived credit quality of the supporting letter of credit bank. In the event the notes are not able to be reissued in the note market, the bank will make a Principal Advance to pay the principal of the maturing note. If the Principal Advance remains outstanding longer than 90 days, a term loan is created to repay the bank. During FY 2023-2024, the County reissued $135.46 million for governmental activities and $115.48 million for business-type activities, representing the total amounts outstanding at the beginning of the year. These reissues, along with new County LRON of $70.53 million for governmental activities and $341.91 million for business-type activities, totaling $412.44 million, and redemptions of $400 thousand for governmental activities and $203.00 million for business-type activities, totaling $203.40 million, are reflected as notes payable.

Bonds Defeased in Prior Years In prior years, various debt obligations, including bonds, were defeased by placing the proceeds of refunding bonds in an irrevocable trust to provide for all future debt service payments on the old obligations. Debt should also be considered defeased when cash and other monetary assets acquired with only existing resources are placed in an irrevocable trust to extinguish debt. Accordingly, the trust account assets and the related debt service payments for the defeased bonds would not be reflected in the County’s statement of net position. At June 30, 2024, there were no outstanding bonds considered defeased. 139 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 11.

SHORT-TERM DEBT On July 1, 2023, the County issued $700.00 million of short-term Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes at an effective interest rate of 3.14%. The proceeds of the notes were used to assist with County General Fund cash flow needs prior to the first major apportionment of property taxes, which occurred in December 2023. The notes matured and were redeemed on June 28, 2024. 13. CONDUIT DEBT OBLIGATIONS Community Facilities and Improvement District Bonds As of June 30, 2024, various community facilities and improvement districts established by the County had outstanding special tax bonds payable totaling $63.00 million and limited obligation improvement bonds totaling $544 thousand. The bonds were issued to finance the cost of various construction activities and infrastructure improvements, which have a regional or direct benefit to the related property owners. The bonds do not constitute an indebtedness of the County and are payable solely from special taxes and benefit assessments collected from property owners within the districts. In the opinion of County officials, these bonds are not payable from any revenues or assets of the County and neither the full faith and credit of the County, the State or any political subdivision thereof is obligated to the payment of the principal or interest on the bonds. The County has limited commitments for these bonds. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying basic financial statements. The County functions as an agent for the districts and bondholders. Debt service transactions related to the various bond issues are reported in the custodial funds. Construction activities are reported in the Improvement Districts' Capital Projects Fund. Industrial Development and Other Conduit Bonds Industrial development bonds, and other conduit bonds, have been issued to provide financial assistance to private sector entities and nonprofit corporations for the acquisition of industrial and health care facilities, which provide a public benefit. The bonds are secured by the facilities acquired and/or bank letter of credit and are payable solely from project revenue or other pledged funds. The County is not obligated in any manner for the repayment of the bonds. All industrial development bonds were paid during the year and no amount was outstanding as of June 30, 2024. Redevelopment Refunding Bonds The County of Los Angeles Redevelopment Refunding Authority, a JPA between the County and the Los Angeles County Public Works Financing Authority, was established to issue bonds that would enable successor agencies to former redevelopment agencies within the County to refund their outstanding tax allocation bonds in order to achieve debt service savings and to provide significant economies of scale through reduced costs of issuance and lower interest rates. The bonds are secured by a lien on future tax revenues of successor agencies. The County is not obligated in any manner for the repayment of the bonds. The County has limited commitment for these bonds. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying basic financial statements. As of June 30, 2024, the amount of redevelopment refunding bonds outstanding was $372.66 million. 142 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 14. HOSPITAL AND OTHER PROGRAM REVENUES Net patient service revenues are reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third party payors, and others for services rendered, including estimated retroactive adjustments under reimbursement agreements with third party payors. Retroactive adjustments are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods, as final settlements are determined. California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal On December 28, 2021, the federal Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) approved the California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) Section 1115 demonstration and CalAIM Section 1915(b) waiver, effective through December 31, 2026. CalAIM is an innovative and long- term commitment to transform and strengthen Medi-Cal, making the program more equitable, coordinated, and person-centered to help people maximize their health and life trajectory. CalAIM shifts Medi-Cal to a population health approach on a statewide level that prioritizes prevention and addresses social drivers of health. Revenues from CalAIM include those derived from Medical Managed Care (which the State moved from the Section 1115 waiver - where it resided in Medi-Cal 2020 - to the 1915(b) waiver portion of CalAIM). Those revenues are depicted below, consistent with historical reporting, to facilitate year- to-year comparisons. CalAIM revenues include (among other sources): 1. Global Payment Program 2. Providing Access and Transforming Health 3. Enhanced Care Management 4. Community Support Global Payment Program The Global Payment Program (GPP) originated under the Medi-Cal 2020 Waiver and was approved to continue under the CalAIM Section 1115 demonstration. GPP is a payment reform program that aims to change the way county-owned and operated Public Hospital Systems (PHS) in California are compensated for providing care to the remaining uninsured. The program encourages a shift away from cost-based, hospital-centric models of care, through financial incentives to provide cost-effective primary and specialty care. The GPP lifts restrictions that have historically impeded providing services for the remaining uninsured in the most appropriate setting for each patient, and now includes non-traditional methods of care delivery that have not been covered under either program. The shift from volume to value is done through a value-based point methodology, which takes into account both the value of care to the patient, and the recognition of costs to the health care system. 143 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 14. HOSPITAL AND OTHER PROGRAM REVENUES-Continued California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal-Continued Global Payment Program-Continued The GPP funds are comprised of (a) Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) funds that otherwise would have been allotted to the PHS, and (b) Safety Net Uncompensated Care Pool (SNCP) funds. DSH is a federal program to support safety-net hospitals that care for a disproportionate share of low-income patients. SNCP was established under California's 2005 waiver to support services provided to uninsured patients. Each GPP (PHS) participant has an opportunity to earn a global budget for care to the remaining uninsured and must meet service thresholds to receive full funding. Points are assigned to services in the following categories: • Traditional Outpatient (e.g., primary or specialty care visit, dental, ER/urgent care, mental health visit). • Non-Traditional Outpatient (e.g., health coaching, care navigation, community wellness encounters). • Technology-Based Outpatient (e.g., nurse advice line, email consultation, provider-to-provider eConsult for specialty care). • Inpatient and Facility Stays (e.g., trauma care, ICU stays, recuperative care, respite care, sober center stays, skilled nursing facility stays). The County provides funding for the State of California's (State) share of the program by using "intergovernmental transfers" (IGTs) to draw down federal matching funds. The estimated GPP revenues and related IGTs recorded in FY 2023-2024 were as follows (in thousands): GPP Intergovernmental Revenues Transfers Expense Harbor-UCLA Medical Center $ 389,836 $ 195,380 Olive View-UCLA Medical Center 186,112 97,494 Los Angeles General Medical Center 460,454 264,911 Rancho Los Amigos National Rehab Center 25,306 10,333 Total $ 1,061,708 $ 568,118 The General Fund received $764.11 million for GPP and paid $335.92 million of related IGTs, which were recorded as “Charges for Services” revenue and "Health and Sanitation" expenditures, respectively, on the governmental funds statement. Providing Access and Transforming Health Providing Access and Transforming Health (PATH) is a five-year, $1.850 billion initiative to provide and build capacity and infrastructure for initiatives under CalAIM, namely Enhanced Care Management, Community Support, and Justice-Involved services. There are several subaccounts in PATH that the Department of Health Services (DHS) has either applied for or will apply for: 144 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 14. HOSPITAL AND OTHER PROGRAM REVENUES-Continued California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal-Continued Providing Access and Transforming Health-Continued • Whole Person Care Services and Transition to Managed Care Mitigation Initiative PATH funds services provided by former Whole Person Care Pilot Lead Entities until the services transition to managed care coverage under CalAIM. This funding started January 1, 2022, and ended on October 1, 2024. The County must provide local matching funds in the form of an IGT, based on the number of eligible services, to receive reimbursement from the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). • Capacity and Infrastructure Transition, Expansion and Development (CITED) Initiative PATH provides direct funding to support the transition, expansion, and development of Enhanced Care Management and Community Support services. Funds are made available from DHCS directly to recipients in several rounds, with the first round being up to $100 million statewide. DHS applied for funds in Round 1 and was authorized for $8.59 million gross in February 2023. DHS applied for Round 2 funds and was awarded $4.00 million gross in October 2023. In Round 3, DHS was awarded $6.70 million gross in August 2024 and was asked to provide an IGT for the non-federal share as the funds were awarded from excess Whole Person Care Mitigation Funds (from bullet one above). Total funds received out of the awarded amounts is contingent on DHS making the approved expenditures. • Justice-Involved Capacity Building Program Starting in 2023, DHCS made PATH funding available to support DHS pre-release capacity building activities to support the ability to aid claiming certain health services provided in jail 90 days before release. CMS authorized payment for these services in a waiver amendment that was approved January 26, 2023. DHS is working with DHCS to determine how much funding will be available for pre-release capacity building. Enhanced Care Management Enhanced Care Management (ECM) is a new Medi-Cal managed care benefit that supports a whole person-focused, interdisciplinary approach to intensive care management. It aims to improve care coordination and address the physical, behavioral health, and social needs of Medi- Cal beneficiaries with the highest costs and most complex needs. ECM is designed to replace similar services that were previously provided under Whole Person Care and Health Homes Program. DHS has contracted with LA Care Health Plan (LA Care) and Health Net Community Solutions, Inc. (Health Net) to provide ECM services to certain high-need members assigned to DHS for primary care. Beginning in January 2024, DHS also contracted with Molina Healthcare California (Molina) to serve this population. In FY 2023-2024, an estimated $3.91 million of ECM revenues were recorded as part of net patient service revenues. The General Fund received an estimated $2.96 million for ECM, which were recorded as "Charges for Services" revenue on the governmental funds statement. 145 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 14. HOSPITAL AND OTHER PROGRAM REVENUES-Continued California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal-Continued Community Support Community Support (CS) covers a variety of managed care services that address complex barriers to health and drivers of health care costs, such as homelessness, unstable or unsafe housing, and food insecurity. CS focuses on meeting the specific medical and social needs of the high-risk clients, with the goal of reducing utilization of higher-cost services. These services are voluntary for the managed care plan to offer, and for the patients to opt in to receiving. DHS has contracted with six Medi-Cal managed care plans to launch and offer the following CS services as of January 2022: recuperative care, housing navigation, tenancy sustaining services, personal care, and housing deposit assistance. Additional services for newly eligible populations are scheduled to roll out through 2024. The General Fund recorded an estimated $61.58 million for CS, which were recorded as "Charges for Services" revenue on the governmental funds statement. It is expected that these amounts will decline in future years due to health plans limiting the duration of housing benefits to periods that are shorter than the time during which a person receives housing services from the County. While current year revenues reflect coverage for a substantial share of current clients, in future years, only newly housed individuals will be reimbursed. Previous Medi-Cal Demonstration Projects Bridge to Reform Bridge to Reform was approved in November 2010 by CMS, pursuant to Section 1115(a) of the Social Security Act. This waiver affected many aspects of Medi-Cal revenue for the County hospitals and clinics including the financing methods by which the State drew down federal matching funds. Bridge to Reform covered the period November 1, 2010 to October 31, 2015, with a temporary extension to December 31, 2015. As of the end of the FY 2023-2024, Program Year 2010-2011 is still pending State's final reconciliation. Disproportionate Share Hospital Program In FY 2023-2024, the DHCS completed their final reconciliation of the Disproportionate Share Hospital Program (DSH) for Year 2014-2015. DSH revenues and related IGTs recorded in FY 2023-2024 are as follows (in thousands): DSH Intergovernmental Transfers Revenues Harbor-UCLA Medical Center $ (5,572) $ (7,729) Olive View-UCLA Medical Center 2,486 Rancho Los Amigos National Rehab Center 1 Total $ (3,085) $ (7,729) 146 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 14. HOSPITAL AND OTHER PROGRAM REVENUES-Continued Managed Care for Seniors and Persons with Disabilities Under the Medi-Cal Demonstration Project, in an effort to provide more coordinated care and contain costs, Medi-Cal beneficiaries who are Seniors and Persons with Disabilities (SPDs) are required to enroll in managed care plans, rather than using a fee for service system. In FY 2023-2024, an estimated $189.65 million of SPD revenues were recorded as part of net patient service revenues. The General Fund received $39.32 million for SPD, which were recorded as "Charges for Services" revenue on the governmental funds statement. Affordable Care Act On January 1, 2014, when the federal health care reform of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act went into effect, the Hospital Presumptive Eligibility program also provided individuals with temporary Medi-Cal benefits while a formal, permanent Medi-Cal application is being processed. Medicaid Coverage Expansion The Medicaid Coverage Expansion (MCE), also known as the Optional Medicaid Expansion program, provides Medi-Cal coverage for adult citizens or legal residents (ages 19-64) who are uninsured and have incomes at or below 138.00% of the Federal Property Level. The current Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) for the MCE Program is 90.00%. The County contracts with LA Care, Health Net, and as of January 1, 2024, Molina to provide services for their Medi-Cal managed care members. During FY 2023-2024, LA Care and Health Net paid the County managed care capitation payments based on the CY 2023 contract rates, while Molina paid contracted rates effective January 2024. In FY 2023-2024, the total estimated MCE revenues and related estimated IGTs, including prior year over/under-realization were as follows (in thousands): Program Intergovernmental Revenues Transfers Expense MCE $ 356,279 $ MCRS - MCE 249,580 51,105 Total $ 605,859 $ 51,105 The General Fund received $70.50 million for MCE which was recorded as "Charges for Services" revenue. The IGTs recorded under "Health and Sanitation" expenditures on the governmental funds statement are related to prior year IGT reconciliations. On September 1, 2023, the County received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”). The demand seeks records and information related to managed care and the expansion of Medicaid to adult expansion under the Affordable Care Act. The County is cooperating with the investigation and has made rolling productions of documents responsive to the CID, with the latest production in April 2024. DOJ's last contact to the County about this matter occurred in May 2024. Potential penalties are contingent on a number of factors and too speculative to reasonably estimate at this time. 147 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 14. HOSPITAL AND OTHER PROGRAM REVENUES-Continued Other Medi-Cal Programs Medi-Cal Fee-For-Service The Medi-Cal Demonstration Project restructured the financing method by which the State draws down federal matching funds for the inpatient hospital FFS to cost based reimbursement. The non-federal share of the Medi-Cal FFS is provided by the hospitals primarily through certified public expenditures (CPE) whereby the hospital expends its local funding for services to draw down the federal financing participation (FFP), currently provided at a 52.50% match which incorporates a 2.50% increase in the FFP rate as authorized by the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). For FY 2023-2024, an estimated $192.53 million of Medi-Cal FFS revenues were recorded as part of net patient service revenue. Medi-Cal Physician State Plan Amendment The Medi-Cal Demonstration Project payment for inpatient and other facility services excluded professional services. State Plan Amendment 05-23 allows professional services provided by public entities to be paid similarly to the inpatient hospital services under the Medi-Cal Demonstration Project. Hospitals are allowed to claim federal reimbursement for unreimbursed costs of Medi-Cal professional services (Hospital Inpatient, Emergency Room, and Psychiatric services), which is matched at the applicable FMAP rate for the year. Revenues of $48.91 million were recognized and recorded as part of net patient service revenue during FY 2023-2024. Cost Based Reimbursement Clinics Cost Based Reimbursement Clinics (CBRC) reimburse 100% of allowable costs for outpatient services provided to Medi-Cal FFS beneficiaries at the County's hospital-based clinics, outpatient centers and Ambulatory Care Network health centers (excluding clinics that provide predominately public health services). In FY 2023-2024, CBRC revenues were $170.05 million for the enterprise funds and were recorded as net patient services revenue. As of June 30, 2024, the County estimated that approximately $16.42 million of CBRC accounts receivable would not be collectible within 12 months and this amount is classified as a noncurrent asset in the enterprise fund statements of net position for each hospital. The General Fund received $35.07 million for CBRC, which was recorded as "Charges for Services" revenue on the governmental funds statement. As of June 30, 2024, the County estimated that approximately $14.17 million of CBRC accounts receivable would not be collectible within 12 months. Medi-Cal Cost Report Settlements In FY 2023-2024, the County recognized final inpatient hospital FFS settlements of $0.63 million related to the FY 2014-2015. In addition, the County received CBRC audit settlements of $42.24 million related to FY 2021-2022 for hospitals only. The County’s appeal of certain CBRC audit adjustments at various levels to the Office of Administrative Appeals have been favorably resolved resulting in $4.51 million of final settlement revenues. The State is in the process of auditing the FY 2020-2021 and FY 2021-2022 non-hospital CBRC and FY 2022-2023 hospital cost reports. Settlements are expected by the 4th quarter of FY 2024-2025. 148 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 14. HOSPITAL AND OTHER PROGRAM REVENUES-Continued Other Medi-Cal Programs-Continued Medi-Cal Managed Care Graduate Medical Education On March 19, 2020, the State executed State Plan Amendment (SPA) Transmittal Number 17-009 that allows for graduate medical education (GME) payments to certain governmental hospitals for Medi-Cal managed care services effective January 1, 2017. The Medi-Cal managed care plans do not include GME payments within the capitation rates. These supplemental GME payments are funded by voluntary IGTs made by the County pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) sections 14164 and 14105.29(c), that is used solely as the source for the non-federal share of GME payments made to the eligible providers of the Governmental Funding Entity pursuant to WIC section 14105.29 and Supplement 6 to Attachment 4.19-A of the SPA. The funds transferred qualify for FFP pursuant to 42 Code of Federal Regulations part 433 subpart B. Under the SPA, the County is required by Welfare and Institutions Code Section 14105.29, to pay the State a 5% administrative fee that is assessed on the full amount of the IGTs. This amount is also recorded as part of the IGT. In FY 2023-2024, the County recorded the GME supplemental gross revenue payments as listed below and recorded the corresponding IGT expense as follows (in thousands): GME Intergovernmental Revenues Transfers Expense Harbor-UCLA Medical Center $ 68,741 $ 13,570 Olive View-UCLA Medical Center 32,362 7,447 Los Angeles General Medical Center 125,647 25,561 Rancho Los Amigos National Rehab Center 2,650 479 Total $ 229,400 $ 47,057 Medi-Cal Managed Care Rate Supplements The State is obtaining CMS' approval to continue the Medi-Cal Managed Care Rate Supplements (MCRS) paid to LA Care and Health Net Health Plans for calendar year 2024. The supplements are funded by IGTs made by the County. The County does not receive the supplemental payments directly from the State; rather, the State contracts with LA Care and Health Net, which then subcontract for services with various provider networks. In addition, in order to receive the supplemental payments, the County is required by Welfare and Institutions Code Section 14301.4, to pay the State a 20% administrative fee that is assessed on the full amount of the IGTs. This amount is also recorded as part of the IGT. 149 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 14. HOSPITAL AND OTHER PROGRAM REVENUES-Continued Other Medi-Cal Programs-Continued Medi-Cal Managed Care Rate Supplements-Continued The total estimated managed care rate supplement revenues and related estimated IGTs recorded in FY 2023-2024, including prior year over/under realization, were as follows (in thousands): MCRS Intergovernmental Revenues Transfers Expense Harbor-UCLA Medical Center $ 75,835 $ 49,993 Olive View-UCLA Medical Center 65,337 38,910 Rancho Los Amigos National Rehab Center 223,477 140,354 Total $ 364,649 $ 229,257 Managed Care Rule On April 25 2016, CMS published the Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Managed Care Final Rule. The rule, many provisions of which went into effect July 1, 2017, is an update to the regulatory framework for Medicaid, aligning it as much as possible with Medicare and other commercial insurance requirements for issues like rate setting, access standards, grievances and appeals, and quality. The managed care rule limits the ability of states to direct payments to health care providers, unless certain conditions are met. Among the allowable exceptions are payments tied to performance, and payments that provide a uniform payment increase which includes a pre- determined increase over contracted rates. The previous SPD-SB208 and AB85 MCE-to-Cost programs did not meet these conditions. In order to retain this critical funding, the following two programs were introduced: 1. Enhanced Payment Program 2. Quality Incentive Program Enhanced Payment Program The Enhanced Payment Program (EPP) creates a funding pool to supplement the base rates public health care systems receive through Medi-Cal managed care contracts. It was intended to meet the managed care rule’s criteria that allow payments that provide a uniform increase within a class of providers such as a predetermined increase over contracted rates. The mechanism for delivering EPP payments to public health care systems depends largely on those systems’ existing payment arrangements with their managed care plans. Under the proposed structure, health plans would receive an add-on to their managed care rates and would provide interim payments to providers throughout the year. Payments would be reconciled at the end of the year, protecting health plans from any risk associated with payment. 150 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 14. HOSPITAL AND OTHER PROGRAM REVENUES-Continued Other Medi-Cal Programs-Continued Managed Care Rule-Continued Enhanced Payment Program-Continued The estimated EPP revenues and related IGTs reported in FY 2023-2024 are as follows (in thousands): EPP Intergovernmental Revenues Transfers Expense Harbor-UCLA Medical Center $ 299,604 $ 86,426 Olive View-UCLA Medical Center 138,703 38,855 Los Angeles General Medical Center 312,479 94,682 Rancho Los Amigos National Rehab Center 19,992 6,544 Total $ 770,778 $ 226,507 The General Fund received $180.74 million for EPP and paid $52.80 million of related IGTs, which were recorded as "Charges for Services" revenue and "Health and Sanitation" expenditures, respectively, on the governmental funds statement. Quality Incentive Program The Quality Incentive Program (QIP) is meant to meet the Managed Care Rule’s exception that allows payments tied to performance. The QIP represents a pay for performance program for California’s public health care systems that uses a value-based structure. QIP payments are tied to the achievement of performance on a set of clinically established quality measures for Medi-Cal managed care enrollees. At FY 2023-2024 year-end, the estimated QIP revenues, which were recorded as patient service revenues, and related IGTs, including prior year over/under realization, are as follows (in thousands): QIP Intergovernmental Revenues Transfers Expense Harbor-UCLA Medical Center $ 176,405 $ 24,092 Olive View-UCLA Medical Center 70,517 8,643 Los Angeles General Medical Center 141,038 16,283 Rancho Los Amigos National Rehab Center 35,149 4,893 Total $ 423,109 $ 53,911 The General Fund received $33.79 million for QIP and paid $3.95 million of related IGTs, which were recorded as "Intergovernmental Revenues - Federal" and "Health and Sanitation" expenditures, respectively, on the governmental funds statement. 151 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 14. HOSPITAL AND OTHER PROGRAM REVENUES-Continued Third Party Payor Liability The County's Hospitals reported third party payor liabilities of $531.45 million (see Note 11) as of June 30, 2024, as reported on the statement of net position for proprietary funds. The current liabilities for amounts due within one year are $126.52 million. The noncurrent liabilities for third party payors related to enterprise funds are $404.93 million. The primary programs associated with third party payors liabilities include DSH ($62.60 million), Medi-Cal ($54.39 million), SNCP ($24.36 million), Medicare ($29.05 million), SPD ($66.33 million), MCE ($97.33 million), AB 915 ($30.69 million), In-home Supportive Services (IHSS) ($28.54 million), Medi- Cal Physician SPA ($9.57 million), and other miscellaneous programs ($2.07 million). Accounts Receivable-Net The following is a summary, by hospital, of accounts receivable and allowances for uncollectible amounts as of June 30, 2024 (in thousands): Los Angeles H-UCLA OV-UCLA General Rancho Total Accounts receivable $ 3,753,314 2,136,458 4,716,199 860,707 $ 11,466,678 Less: Allowance for uncollectible amounts 2,973,934 1,661,093 3,677,243 650,947 8,963,217 Accounts receivable - net $ 779,380 475,365 1,038,956 209,760 $ 2,503,461 Charity Care Charity care includes those uncollectible amounts for which the patient is unable to pay. Generally, charity care adjustment accounts are those accounts for which an indigence standard has been established and under which the patient qualifies. Inability to pay may be determined through DHS’ Ability-to-Pay program, through other collection efforts by DHS, by the Treasurer and Tax Collector, or by an outside collection agency. Determinations of charity care may be made prior to, at the time of service, or any time thereafter. The estimated cost of charity care for the year ended June 30, 2024 was $526.47 million. The total amount of such charity care provided by the hospitals for the year ended June 30, 2024 is as follows (in thousands): Charity care at established rates $ 1,286,976 GPP reimbursements 177,005 Other reimbursements (6,689) Charges forgone $ 1,116,660 152 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 14. HOSPITAL AND OTHER PROGRAM REVENUES-Continued Realignment As a result of the ACA, the State adopted and passed Assembly Bill 85 (AB85), as amended by Senate Bill 98, which lays out the process by which a portion of the 1991 County Health Realignment funds will be redirected to support Social Services programs based on a formula. The redirection is based on the assumption that the counties will decrease their cost for healthcare for the indigent population. These savings will be shared between the counties’ health departments and the State. The sharing ratio is 80% to the State and 20% to the County. This ratio has been in place since FY 2014-2015. AB85, as amended, provides a unique formula for the County to determine the amount to be redirected. In FY 2023-2024, the State did not withhold any of the County's Health Realignment funds. This amount is expected to be reconciled against actual revenues and expenses for FY 2023-2024 within two years. The redirection amount will be subject to the State's review and approval. The financial impact of the potential redirection of realignment funding in future years is not yet known. In FY 2022-2023, the State did not withhold any of the County's Health Realignment funds. Based on updated revenues realized for FY 2022-2023 services in FY 2023-2024, the projected redirection amount remains at $0.00. In FY 2021-2022, the State did not withhold any of the County's Health Realignment funds. Based on updated revenues realized for FY 2021-2022 services in FY 2023-2024, the projected redirection amount remains at $0.00. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Hospital The County and the University of California (UC), with the State, created a wholly independent, non- profit 501(c)(3) entity, the Martin Luther King, Jr. - Los Angeles Healthcare Corporation (MLK-LA), to operate a hospital at the MLK-MACC site. As originally conceived, the hospital would: i) serve as a safety-net provider treating a high volume of Medi-Cal and uninsured patients and ii) be integrated with the County's existing network of specialty and primary care ambulatory clinics. The seven- member MLK Hospital Board of Directors was appointed by the County and UC in August 2010. The MLK Community Hospital opened on May 14, 2015. To assist with the opening of the MLK Hospital, the County provided MLK-LA with $50.00 million of coordination start-up funds, $39.10 million of grant funding, and $82.00 million of long-term loan funding, which includes a 30-year loan in the amount of $50.00 million, a 10-year revolving line of credit in the amount of $20.00 million, and a 2-year loan in the amount of $12.00 million. On January 5, 2016, the Board approved an additional short-term revolving loan in the amount of $40.00 million to assist MLK-LA with post-hospital opening expenses. As of June 30, 2024, the 30-year loan has an outstanding balance of $35.71 million. In May 2023, MLK-LA drew down $20 million from the revolving line of credit. On November 21, 2023, the County unanimously approved a motion to defer the interest and principal payment for three years. On June 11, 2024, the County approved a revised maturity date of May 13, 2028. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding balance under the revolving loan was $20.00 million. In addition, the DHS has committed to make ongoing annual payments of $18.00 million for indigent care support, and up to $50.00 million in annual intergovernmental transfers for the benefit of the MLK Hospital. Under the terms of the agreement, the lease is for a period of forty (40) years with three options to extend the term by an additional ten years. The County established a lease receivable to lease the MLK facility to MLK-LA which has a balance of $650.88 million as of June 30, 2024 and is reflected in governmental activities and the governmental funds. 153 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 15. INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS Interfund Receivables/Payables Interfund receivables and payables have been eliminated in the government-wide financial statements, except for “internal balances” that are reflected between the governmental and business-type activities. The majority of the interfund balances resulted from the time lag between the time that (1) goods and services were provided; (2) the recording of those transactions in the accounting system; and (3) payments between the funds were made. Interfund receivables and payables have been recorded in the fund financial statements. Such amounts arise due to the exchange of goods or services (or subsidy transfers) between funds that were pending the transfer of cash as of June 30, 2024. 154 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 15.

BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING DIFFERENCES/RECONCILIATIONS BETWEEN THE BUDGETARY BASIS AND GAAP The County’s statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances-budget and actual on budgetary basis for the major governmental funds has been prepared on the budgetary basis of accounting, which is different from GAAP. The amounts presented for the governmental funds statements are based on the modified accrual basis of accounting and differ from the amounts presented on a budgetary basis of accounting. The major areas of difference are as follows: – For budgetary purposes, nonspendable, restricted, committed and assigned fund balances and the portion of unassigned fund balance reserved for the “Rainy Day” fund are recorded as other financing uses at the time they are established. The County recognizes them as uses of budgetary fund balance. The nonspendable, restricted, committed and assigned fund balances that are subsequently canceled or otherwise made available are recorded as changes in fund balance in other financing sources. – Under the budgetary basis, revenues (primarily intergovernmental) are recognized at the time encumbrances are established for certain programs and capital improvements. The intent of the budgetary policy is to match the use of budgetary resources (for amounts encumbered, but not yet expended) with funding sources that will materialize as revenues when actual expenditures are incurred. Under the modified accrual basis, revenues are not recognized until the qualifying expenditures are incurred and amounts are collected within the County’s availability period. 160 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 16. BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING DIFFERENCES/RECONCILIATIONS BETWEEN THE BUDGETARY BASIS AND GAAP-Continued – For the General Fund, obligations for accrued compensated absences and estimated liabilities for litigation and self-insurance are recorded as budgetary expenditures to the extent that they are estimated to be payable within one year after year-end. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, such expenditures are not recognized until they become due and payable in accordance with GASB Interpretation 6. – In conjunction with the sale of Tobacco Settlement Asset-Backed bonds in FY 2005-2006, the County sold 25.9% of its future tobacco settlement revenues. Under the budgetary basis, the proceeds were recognized as revenues. Under the modified accrual basis, the proceeds were recorded as deferred inflows of resources and are being recognized over the duration of the sale agreement, in accordance with GASB 48 and 65. This matter is also discussed in Note 11, under the caption, “Tobacco Settlement Asset-Backed Bonds.” – Under the budgetary basis, property tax revenues are recognized to the extent that they are collectible within one year after year-end. Under the modified accrual basis, property tax revenues are recognized only to the extent that they are collectible within 60 days. – For budgetary purposes, investment income is recognized prior to the effect of changes in the fair value of investments. Under the modified accrual basis, the effects of such fair value changes have been recognized. – The County determined that certain assets were held by LACERA (the OPEB administrator) in an OPEB Custodial Fund. For budgetary purposes, any excess payments (beyond the pay-as-you-go amount) are recognized as expenditures. Under the modified accrual basis, the expenditures are adjusted to recognize the OPEB Custodial assets at June 30, 2024. 161 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 16.

OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Construction and Other Significant Commitments At June 30, 2024, there were contractual commitments of approximately $16.19 million for various governmental construction projects and approximately $907.44 million for various hospital construction projects that were financed by bonds and lease revenue obligation notes. LACERA Capital Commitments At June 30, 2024, LACERA had outstanding capital commitments to various investment managers, approximating $9.700 billion. 162 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 17. OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES-Continued Encumbrances The County uses “encumbrances” to control expenditure commitments for the year. Encumbrances represent commitments related to executory contracts not yet performed and purchase orders not yet filled. Commitments for such expenditure of monies are encumbered to reserve applicable appropriations. Depending on the source(s) of funding, encumbrances are reported as part of restricted, committed or assigned fund balance on the governmental funds balance sheet. As of June 30, 2024, the encumbrance balances for the governmental funds (in thousands) are reported as follows: Restricted Committed Assigned Total General Fund $ 1,343,813 $ 1,343,813 Fire Protection District 54,502 — — 54,502 Flood Control District 104,421 — — 104,421 LA County Library — — 20,934 20,934 Regional Park and Open Space District 94,123 — — 94,123 Nonmajor Governmental Funds 197,321 17,742 — 215,063 Total Encumbrances $ 450,367 17,742 1,364,747 $ 1,832,856 Contingent Gain During FY 2020-2021, the State of California and its political subdivisions participated in obtaining final settlement agreements and judgments against multiple companies to resolve legal claims related to the companies’ role in the opioid crisis. Currently, California's allocation is approximately 9.92% of the national settlement funds. The State of California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) oversees and administers the National Opiod Settlement funds that are received as follows: 15 percent allocated to the State of California and used for future opioid remediation activities, 70 percent allocated to the Participating Subdivisions (i.e., counties and cities) and used for opioid remediation activities, and 15 percent allocated to the Plaintiff Subdivisions that are Initial Participating Subdivisions (which includes the County). The County will also receive a portion of the Mallinckrodt Bankruptcy funds (NOAT II) as determined by the Mallinckrodt Statewide Abatement Agreement. California elected to distribute the majority of NOAT II funds to cities and counties for opioid remediation activities at the local level. Cities and counties (otherwise known as Local Governments) will receive funding from the trust annually for up to eight years. The DHCS will also oversee all activities funded by the settlements including, but not limited to, designating additional high-impact abatement activities, conducting related stakeholder engagement, monitoring the California participating subdivisions for compliance, and preparing annual reports. Future opioid litigation may result in additional settlement agreements or judgments, or suspension and reduction of payments, and each agreement or judgment may have unique terms governing payment timing and duration. The County reported opioid settlement revenues of $22.62 million in FY 2023-2024 under the nonmajor health and sanitation funds, as reflected in the government-wide governmental activities and governmental fund statements. Because of the uncertainty of future revenues to be received from the State, no receivable has been established for the opioid settlements. 163 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 18. RISK MANAGEMENT The County purchases insurance for certain risk exposures such as property, aviation, employee fidelity, boiler and machinery, cyber, catastrophic workers’ compensation, art objects, volunteers, special events, public official bonds, crime, safety reserve employee death and disability, and fiduciary liability for the deferred compensation plans. There have been settlements related to these programs that exceeded self-insured retention in the last three years. Losses did not exceed coverage in FY 2021-2022, FY 2022-2023 or FY 2023-2024. The County retains the risk for all other loss exposures. Major areas of risk include workers' compensation, medical malpractice, law enforcement, natural disasters, inverse condemnation, non- tort and tort liability. Expenditures are accounted for in the fund whose operations resulted in the loss. Claims expenditures and liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of that loss, including those incurred but not reported, can be reasonably estimated. The County utilizes actuarial studies, historical data, and individual claims reviews to estimate these liabilities. The liabilities include estimable incremental claim adjustment expenses, net of salvage, and recovery/subrogation of approximately 10% of the total liability expenditures. They do not include other claim adjustment costs because the County does not believe it is practical or cost effective to estimate them. As indicated in the following table, the County’s workers’ compensation balance as of June 30, 2024 was approximately $3.691 billion. This amount is undiscounted and is based on an actuarial study of the County’s self-insured program as of June 30, 2024. Approximately $175.33 million of the total liabilities pertain to salary continuation payments and other related costs mandated by the State Labor Code. As of June 30, 2024, the County's estimate of these liabilities is $8.047 billion. Changes in the reported liability since July 1, 2023 resulted from the following (in thousands): Current Year Beginning of Claims and Balance At Fiscal Year Changes In Claim Fiscal Year- Liability Estimates Payments End 2022-2023 Workers’ Compensation $ 3,400,463 760,369 (656,599) $ 3,504,233 Other 613,918 3,410,854 (258,559) 3,766,213 Total $ 4,014,381 4,171,223 (915,158) $ 7,270,446 2023-2024 Workers’ Compensation $ 3,504,233 904,569 (717,947) $ 3,690,855 Other 3,766,213 732,725 (142,447) 4,356,491 Total $ 7,270,446 1,637,294 (860,394) $ 8,047,346 In addition to the above estimated liabilities, the County has determined that claims seeking damages of approximately $322.93 million are reasonably possible of creating adverse judgments against the County. Because of the uncertainty of their outcome, no loss has been accrued for these claims. 164 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 18. RISK MANAGEMENT-Continued The County receives substantial federal revenues and operates many programs which are subject to federal rules and regulations. Federal assistance is especially critical to the County's ability to operate its four County hospitals and health care network. The County is carefully monitoring State and federal policy developments to determine the future impacts, if any, on its ability to administer federal programs and deliver County services that rely upon federal funding. 19. POLLUTION REMEDIATION The County is involved in several remediation actions to clean up pollution sites within its boundaries. These matters generally coincide with the County’s ownership of land, buildings and infrastructure assets. In some cases, regulatory agencies (e.g., Regional Water Quality Board, State Department of Toxic Control, California Coastal Commission) notified the County of the need for remedial action. In addition, the County conducts its own environmental monitoring and this activity identifies pollution sites and matters requiring further investigation and possible remediation. Once the County is aware of these conditions, it commences monitoring, assessment, testing and/or cleanup activities, and recognizes a pollution remediation obligation when estimates can reasonably be determined. The pollution remediation obligation is an estimate and is subject to revision because of price increases or reductions, changes in technology, or changes in applicable laws or regulations. The types of pollution that have been identified include leaking underground storage tanks, water, groundwater and soil contamination, asbestos and lead paint contamination, methane gas detection and excessive levels of other contaminants. Remediation efforts include developing remediation and feasibility studies, source identification studies, site testing, sampling and analysis, ground water cleanup, and removal of storage tanks, asbestos tiles and other hazardous materials. As of June 30, 2024, the County’s estimated pollution remediation obligation totaled $55.14 million. This obligation was associated with the County’s governmental activities. Obligations of enterprise and internal service funds were immaterial. The estimated liability was determined by project managers, based on historical cost information for projects of the same type, size and complexity and measured at their current value. In subsequent periods, the County will adjust the estimated obligation when new information indicates that such changes are required. At this time, the County has determined there are no estimated recoveries reducing the obligation. 20. DEFERRED OUTFLOWS AND INFLOWS OF RESOURCES Deferred outflows and inflows of resources balances in the government-wide and the proprietary funds statement of net position as of June 30, 2024 are described as follows: – The deferred outflows of resources, included on the government-wide statement of net position, relate to the unamortized losses on refunding of debt, changes in the net pension liability as discussed in Note 7, and changes in the net OPEB liability as discussed in Note 8. The unamortized losses on refunding of debt are a deferred charge on refunding resulting from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the old debt or the life of the new debt, whichever is shorter. 165 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 20. DEFERRED OUTFLOWS AND INFLOWS OF RESOURCES-Continued – The deferred inflows of resources, included on the government-wide statement of net position, relate to the future installment payments of public-private and public-public partnerships as discussed in Note 6, from changes in the lease receivable as discussed in Note 9, from changes in the net pension liability as discussed in Note 7, and from changes in the net OPEB liability as discussed in Note 8.

DEFERRED OUTFLOWS AND INFLOWS OF RESOURCES-Continued Deferred outflows and inflows of resources balances in the governmental funds balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 are described as follows: – The intra-entity sales of future tobacco settlement revenues are reported as deferred inflows of resources in the General Fund and deferred outflows of resources in the nonmajor governmental funds. – Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, earning revenues during the current period is not sufficient for revenue recognition in the current period. Revenue must also be susceptible to accrual (i.e., measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period). Governmental funds report revenues that are not available as deferred inflows of resources. The County has included three such items, which are property tax revenues to be collected beyond the 60 day accrual period, lease receivables measured at the present value or expected to be received during the lease term in a future period, plus other long-term receivables, related mostly to SB90 claims, expected to be collected beyond the 12 month accrual period.

The Reserve for “Rainy Day” fund was established and maintained to protect essential County programs against unforeseen emergencies and economic downturns. On May 3, 2022, the Board adopted an updated "Rainy Day" Fund amount of 17.00% of on-going locally generated revenue from the previous 10.00% amount. Transfers, at a minimum of ten percent (10.00%) of excess fund balance, less Board approved carryovers, will be set aside in the "Rainy Day" Fund each year until the 17.00% cap is met. Excess fund balance is defined as the difference between the actual year-end fund balance amount as determined by the Auditor-Controller, less the estimated fund balance amount included in the Adopted Budget. Board approved carryover is defined as unspent funding that was previously approved by the Board for critical programs and/or uncompleted projects. Seventeen percent (17.00%) of the new ongoing discretionary revenues should be set aside annually, during the budget process as a hedge against any unforeseen fiscal issues during the year. At year-end, these funds will be transferred to the Rainy Day fund. 169 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 21. FUND BALANCES-Continued Reserve for “Rainy Day” Fund-Continued The County’s “Rainy Day” fund does not meet the criteria for a stabilization arrangement for reporting the funds as either restricted or committed. As such, the Reserve for “Rainy Day” funds in the amount of $978.56 million is reported as unassigned fund balance in the General Fund. 22. CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 (COVID-19) On March 13, 2020, a presidential emergency was declared for all states, tribes, territories, and the District of Columbia due to the ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The declaration made federal disaster assistance available; through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to the County and to the State of California to supplement the County’s local recovery efforts. To assist in the efforts to respond to COVID-19, the County received significant fiscal stimulus in federal funds. The significant outstanding funding is described below. American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 The American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act of 2021 Coronavirus State and Local Government Fiscal Recovery Funds (Fiscal Recovery Funds) continues many of the programs started by the CARES Act (2020) and Consolidated Appropriations Act (2021) by adding new phases, new allocations, and new guidance to address issues related to the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic. The ARP also creates a variety of new programs to address continuing pandemic-related crises, and fund recovery efforts as the United States begins to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. The ARP was passed by Congress on March 10, 2021 and signed into law on March 11, 2021. The Fiscal Recovery Funds may be used for the following: 1) to respond to the public health emergency or its negative economic impacts, including assistance to households, small businesses, and nonprofits, or aid to impacted industries such as tourism, travel, and hospitality; 2) to respond to workers performing essential work during the COVID-19 public health emergency by providing premium pay to eligible workers; 3) to provide government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue due to the COVID-19 public health emergency relative to revenues collected in the most recent full fiscal year prior to the emergency; and 4) to make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure. In December 2022, Congress amended the ARP program through the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, providing additional flexibility for recipients to use ARP funds to respond to natural disasters, build critical infrastructure, and support community development. On May 16, 2021, the County received the first tranche of $974.99 million of ARP funds from the U.S. Department of Treasury and on June 9, 2022, the County received the second tranche of $974.99 million. The ARP funds must be obligated between March 3, 2021 and December 31, 2024, and expended to cover such obligations by December 31, 2026. For FY 2023-2024, the County recorded $713.09 million as revenue on the fund and government-wide financial statements and $459.94 million is reported as advances payable. 170 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 22.

The LATCF was established by Section 605 of the Social Security Act, as added by Section 9901 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The purpose of the LATCF program is to serve as a general revenue enhancement program and is designed, in part, to supplement existing federal programs that augment and stabilize revenues. For FY 2023-2024, the County recorded $258 thousand as revenue on the fund and government-wide financial statements, and $3.07 million is reported as advances payable. Under the fund statements, the General Fund recorded the COVID-19 revenue as “Intergovernmental Revenues-Federal”. The government-wide financial statements recorded the COVID-19 revenue as “Operating Grants and Contributions”. The remaining balance was reported under advance payable on the fund and government-wide financial statements as summarized below (in thousands): COVID-19 Federal Revenues Advances Payable ARP $ 713,090 $ 459,940 LATCF 258 3,070 Total $ 713,348 $ 463,010 23.

The County recognizes revenue for these programs in the year that the funds are received, since the County’s eligible expenditures are not determinable until the reimbursement is received.

COMMUNITY SERVICES BLOCK GRANT PROGRAMS, ALN 93.569 At the request of the California Health and Human Services Agency, Department of Community Services and Development, supplementary schedules of expenditures for Community Services Block Grant programs are included on pages 231 through 236. 5. MEDICAID CLUSTER Direct program Medi-Cal and Medicare expenditures are excluded from the SEFA. These expenditures represent fees for services and are not included in the SEFA or in determining major programs. The County assists the State of California (the State) in determining eligibility and provides Medi-Cal and Medicare services through County-owned facilities. Administrative costs related to Medi-Cal and Medicare are included in the SEFA under the Medicaid Cluster. 6. INDIRECT COST RATE The County has elected to not use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under Uniform Guidance. 7. CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 (COVID-19) On March 13, 2020, a presidential emergency was declared for all states, tribes, territories, and the District of Columbia due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The declaration made federal disaster grant public assistance available through the CARES Act to the County and to the State to supplement the County’s local recovery efforts. To assist in the efforts to respond to COVID-19, the County received significant fiscal stimulus in federal funds as described below. Federal Emergency Management Agency The County received a $119.00 million Public Assistance Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and a $3.70 million Public Assistance Grant from the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) for five expedited projects to respond to COVID-19. The five projects were for the 1) County’s Emergency Operations Center and related emergency services/activities; 2) Non- congregate medical shelters; 3) COVID-19 testing; 4) Project Roomkey – emergency non-congregate shelters for homeless individuals meeting certain criteria; and 5) Great Plates – emergency feeding for certain at-risk individuals. The SEFA includes FEMA COVID-19 public assistance expenditures of $193,125 (ALN 97.036). 199 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 7. CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 (COVID-19)-Continued On October 16, 2023, FEMA issued a letter clarifying the eligibility of Emergency Non-Congregate Sheltering (NCS) under FEMA-4482-DR-CA (COVID-19). The letter specifically addressed the eligibility of NCS for “high-risk” individuals requiring social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as FEMA’s methodology for evaluating the length of stay for eligible populations in emergency NCS. Upon review, the County has determined that the FEMA Emergency NCS clarification did not result in any financial impact to the County. Emergency Rental Assistance The federal Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) program makes funding available to assist households that are unable to pay rent or utilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Two separate programs have been established: ERA1 provides up to $25 billion under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, which was enacted on December 27, 2020, and ERA2 provides up to $21.55 billion under the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act of 2021, which was enacted on March 11, 2021. During FY 2020-2021, the County received $160.07 million and $84.72 million for ERA1 and ERA2, respectively. The County entered into an agreement with the State to manage the County’s ERA funds. This arrangement was made to simplify the process for tenants and landlords, eliminating confusion caused by multiple programs across various jurisdictions. Consequently, the State assumed all compliance responsibilities for ERA1 and ERA2. The SEFA includes $1.58 million in ERA2 expenditures (ALN 21.023) for administrative services provided by LACDA and reimbursed by the County. Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds The ARP Act of 2021 authorized the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF), which continues many of the programs started by the CARES Act (2020) and Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, by adding new phases, new allocations, and new guidance to address issues related to the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Coronavirus SLFRF also creates a variety of new programs to address continuing pandemic-related crises and fund recovery efforts as the United States begins to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. The ARP Act was passed by Congress on March 10, 2021, and signed into law on March 11, 2021. On May 16, 2021, the County received the first tranche of $974.99 million of Coronavirus SLFRF funds from the U.S. Department of Treasury and on June 9, 2022, the County received the second tranche of $974.99 million. The County is a prime recipient. The SEFA includes expenditures of Coronavirus SLFRF funds (ALN 21.027) received directly from the U.S. Department of Treasury in the amount of $713.09 million, including approximately $104.43 million incurred before FY 2023-2024 but not previously reported, to: 1) respond to the public health emergency or its negative economic impacts; 2) respond to workers performing essential work during the COVID-19 public health emergency by providing premium pay to eligible workers; 3) provide government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue due to the COVID- 19 public health emergency relative to revenues collected in the most recent full fiscal year prior to the emergency; and 4) make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure. The SEFA also includes expenditures of Coronavirus SLFRF funds received as pass-through funding from the California State Water Resources Control Board in the amount of $1.13 million for the California Water and Wastewater Extended Arrearage Payment Program. In December 2022, Congress amended the Coronavirus SLFRF program through the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, providing additional flexibility for recipients to use Coronavirus SLFRF funds to respond to natural disasters, build critical infrastructure, and support community development. The Coronavirus SLFRF funds must be obligated between March 3, 2021, and December 31, 2024, and expended to cover such obligations by December 31, 2026. 200 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 8. CHILD CARE AND DEVELOPMENT FUND CLUSTER In accordance with California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 10440(g), the County of Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) is required to submit an annual independent financial and compliance audit report for the Child Care and Development (CCD) Program. For the year ended June 30, 2024, DCFS engaged an independent Certified Public Accounting firm to perform a financial and compliance audit of the CCD Program. The audit of the CCD Program did not have a financial impact on the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Cluster in the SEFA. CCD Program expenditures are reported in the SEFA as part of the CCDF Cluster. 9. OVERESTIMATING ACCRUALS During the FY 2023-2024, the County identified overages in the FYs 2020-2021, 2021-2022, and 2022-2023 SEFAs for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services grant titled “COVID-19 – Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases – Project E – Emerging Infections ELC Reopening Schools” (ALN 93.323). The overages were caused by overestimating accruals for the amounts reported for federal expenditures and passed through to subrecipients. The revised cumulative expenditure amounts for these years are as follows: Federal Passed Through Expenditures to Subrecipients As reported $ 283,642,381 $ 282,485,401 Excess expenditures (7,897,941) (7,897,941) As revised $ 275,744,440 $ 274,587,460 These estimated expenditures were not claimed for reimbursement, therefore, no adjustments are necessary to the reports filed for this program. 10. REALLOCATION OF EXPENDITURES For the SEFAs covering FYs 2020-2021 through 2022-2023, the County originally reported $473.23 million in expenditures under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services grant titled “COVID-19 – Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases – Los Angeles County Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity – Enhancing Detection Expansion” (ALN 93.323). After obtaining clarification from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding allowable costs, the County concluded that $17.85 million of these expenditures were not allocable to this grant. As a result, the County has reallocated this amount to non-federal funding sources. No amounts were reallocated for FY 2023-2024. The revised total expenditures for this grant across the three affected fiscal years are as follows: Federal Passed Through Expenditures to Subrecipients As reported $ 473,233,042 $ 73,900,876 Reallocation (17,847,435) - As revised $ 455,385,607 $ 73,900,876 201 This page intentionally left blank. 202 Independent Auditor’s 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 The Honorable Board of Supervisors County of Los Angeles, California We have audited, 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 (Government Auditing Standards), the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the County of Los Angeles, California (County), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the County’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 12, 2024, except for the report on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, the community services block grant supplementary schedules of revenue and expenditures, and the supplementary schedule of expenditures of federal and State awards granted by the California Department of Aging, as to which the date is March 28, 2025. Our report includes a reference to other auditors who audited the financial statements of the Los Angeles County Development Authority, the Los Angeles County Children and Families First – Proposition 10 Commission, and the Los Angeles County Employees Retirement Association, as described in our report on the County’s financial statements. This report does not include the results of the other auditors’ testing of internal control over financial reporting or compliance and other matters that are reported on separately by those auditors. Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the County’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances 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 County’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the County’s internal control. A deficiency in internal control 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 and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP 700 South Flower Street, Suite 800 www.mgocpa.com Los Angeles, CA 90017 203 Report on Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the County’s financial statements are free from 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 financial statements. 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. Purpose of This Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. Los Angeles, California December 12, 2024 204 Independent Auditor’s Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program and Report on Internal Control Over Compliance Required by the Uniform Guidance The Honorable Board of Supervisors County of Los Angeles, California Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program Qualified and Unmodified Opinions We have audited the County of Los Angeles, California’s (County) compliance with the types of compliance requirements identified as subject to audit in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the County’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2024. The County’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Qualified Opinion on Certain Major Federal Programs In our opinion, except for the noncompliance described in the Basis for Qualified and Unmodified Opinions section of our report, the County complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on the major federal programs listed in the Matters Giving Rise to Qualified Opinion on Certain Major Federal Programs section of our report for the year ended June 30, 2024. Unmodified Opinion on Each of the Other Major Federal Programs In our opinion, the County complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its other major federal programs identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs for the year ended June 30, 2024. Basis for Qualified and Unmodified Opinions We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards); and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report. We are required to be independent of the County and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified and unmodified opinions on compliance for each major federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the County’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above. Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP 700 South Flower Street, Suite 800 www.mgocpa.com Los Angeles, CA 90017 205 Matters Giving Rise to Qualified Opinion on Certain Major Federal Programs As described in Findings 2024-001 and 2024-002 in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs, the County did not comply with the requirements regarding the following: Assistance Finding Listing Number Number Program/Cluster Name Compliance Requirement 2024-001 93.069 Public Health Emergency Preparedness Procurement and Suspension and Debarment 2024-002 21.027 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Subrecipient Monitoring Recovery Funds Compliance with such requirements is necessary, in our opinion, for the County to comply with the requirements applicable to that program. Other Matter – Federal Expenditures Not Included in the Compliance Audit As described in Note 1 to the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, the County’s basic financial statements include the operations of the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA), which expended $658,716,996 in federal awards, which are not included in the County’s schedule of expenditures of federal awards for the year ended June 30, 2024. Our compliance audit, described in the Qualified and Unmodified Opinions section of our report, does not include the operations of LACDA because LACDA engaged other auditors to perform an audit of compliance. Responsibilities of Management for Compliance The County’s management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the County’s federal programs. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the County’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the County’s compliance with the requirements of each major federal program as a whole. 206 In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance, we:  Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the County’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  Obtain an understanding of the County’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the County’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit. Other Matter Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the County’s response to the noncompliance findings identified in our compliance audit described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. The County’s response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response. Report on Internal Control Over Compliance Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. However, as discussed below, we did identify certain deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. We consider the deficiencies in internal control over compliance described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as items 2024-001 and 2024-02 to be material weaknesses. Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the County’s response to the internal control over compliance findings identified in our compliance audit described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. The County’s response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response. 207 The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Section III – Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs Reference Number: 2024-001 Federal Program Title: Public Health Emergency Preparedness Federal Assistance Listing Number: 93.069 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Pass-Through Entity: N/A Federal Award Number and Year: 6 NU90TP922022-05-00; Fiscal Year 2023-24 Name of Department: Department of Public Health Category of Finding: Procurement and Suspension and Debarment Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Compliance; Material Noncompliance Criteria In accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 180.200 a covered transaction is a nonprocurement or procurement transaction that is subject to the prohibitions of this part. Per 2 CFR § 180.970(a), nonprocurement transaction means any transaction, regardless of type (except procurement contracts), including, but not limited to grants. According to 2 CFR § 180.300, when the County enters into a covered transaction with another person at the next lower tier, the County must verify that the person is not excluded or disqualified. The County can do this by: 1. Checking System for Award Management (SAM) exclusions 2. Collecting a certification from that person; or 3. Adding a clause or condition to the covered transaction with that person. Per 2 CFR § 180.985, person means any individual, corporation, partnership, association, unit of government, or legal entity, however organized. Condition During our audit of the Department of Public Health (DPH) compliance with the procurement and suspension and debarment requirements for the Public Health Emergency Preparedness Program, we noted that for eleven (11) contracts, DPH did not provide documentation to demonstrate DPH verified that the vendor was not suspended or debarred from participating in federally funded contracts prior to entering into a covered transaction. Based on a subsequent review of the SAM exclusions, the vendors in question are not suspended or debarred. This is a repeat finding of 2023-008. 211 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Cause DPH did not provide procurement and suspension and debarment documentation due to staff shortages and increased workload. Effect Failure to document verification of suspension and debarment results in noncompliance with 2 CFR § 180.300, and there is a risk that federal funds may be used to pay subrecipients and vendors that are suspended or debarred. Questioned Costs Questioned costs were not identified. Context For the thirty-eight (38) contracts selected for testing, which totaled $84,787 from a population of 160 contracts with expenditures totaling $2,616,122, DPH did not provide the suspension and debarment documentation for eleven (11) contracts with expenditures totaling $10,272. The sample was not a statistically valid sample. Recommendation We recommend that DPH either: 1) include a contract clause or condition to the covered transaction with that person, 2) check the SAM exclusions prior to entering into a contract and maintain documentation of that verification, or 3) collect a certification from that person. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action Department of Public Health (DPH), Emergency Preparedness Response Division (EPRD) agrees with the finding and recommendation. From the programmatic standpoint, beginning fiscal year 2024-2025, EPRD requires all on-line requisition (OLR) requestors to attach a SAM.gov verification for the reference vendor to every OLR submitted. Anticipated implementation date: Implemented July 1, 2024 Department of Public Health (DPH), Administrative Services Division (ASD) – Procurement agrees with the finding and recommendation. The ASD Manager will email Procurement staff to remind them to ensure SAM.gov verification documents are included in all federally funded purchase documentation before finalizing or approving those transactions. DPH ASD will also maintain procurement related documentation justifying the method and rationale for vendor selection along with the purchase orders. Procurement related documentation will be retained in eCAPS for each transaction. Procurement Supervisors and Managers will be required to review and approve purchases to ensure all necessary documents are included in eCAPS. Anticipated implementation date: Implemented March 31, 2025. 212 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Reference Number: 2024-002 Federal Program Title: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Federal Assistance Listing Number: 21.027 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Treasury Pass-Through Entity: N/A Federal Award Number and Year: Fiscal Year 2023-24 Name of Department: County Executive Office Department of Aging Department of Arts and Culture Department of Economic Opportunity Category of Finding: Subrecipient Monitoring Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Compliance; Material Noncompliance Criteria In accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 200.332(e), all pass-through entities (PTE) must: Monitor the activities of the subrecipient as necessary to ensure that the subrecipient complies with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward. The pass-through entity is responsible for monitoring the overall performance of a subrecipient to ensure that the goals and objectives of the subaward are achieved. In monitoring a subrecipient, a pass-through entity must: (1) Review financial and performance reports. (2) Ensure that the subrecipient takes corrective action on all significant developments that negatively affect the subaward. Significant developments include Single Audit findings related to the subaward, other audit findings, site visits, and written notification from a subrecipient of adverse conditions which will impact their ability to meet the milestones or the objectives of a subaward. When significant developments negatively impact the subaward, a subrecipient must provide the pass-through entity with information on their plan for corrective action and any assistance needed to resolve the situation. (3) Issue management decision for audit findings pertaining to only to the Federal award provided to the subrecipient from the pass-through entity as required by § 200.521. (4) Resolve audit findings specifically related to the subaward. However, the pass-through entity is not responsible for resolving cross-cutting audit findings that apply to the subaward and other Federal awards or subawards. If a subrecipient has a current Single Audit report and has not been excluded from receiving Federal funding (meaning, has not been debarred or suspended), the pass-through entity may rely on the subrecipient’s cognizant agency for audit or oversight agency for audit to perform audit follow-up and make management decisions related to cross-cutting audit findings in accordance with section § 200.513(a)(4)(viii). Such reliance does not eliminate the responsibility of the pass-through entity to issue subawards that conform to agency and award-specific requirements, to manage risk through ongoing subaward monitoring, and to monitor the status of the findings that are specifically related to the subaward. Condition During our audit of the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) program, we selected fifteen (15) subrecipients with active contracts with the County during FY 2023-24. We noted for seven (7) contracts administered by the Departments of Aging, Arts and Culture, and Economic 213 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Opportunity, the departments did not perform subrecipient monitoring related to the CSLFRF program during FY 2023-24. This is a repeat finding of 2023-009. Cause Due to the urgency to implement the CSLFRF program, the departments needed more time to enter into contracts with independent CPA firms to monitor the CSLFRF subrecipients and document the reviews in accordance with subrecipient monitoring requirements. Effect Failure to document monitoring results in noncompliance with the subrecipient monitoring requirements 2 CFR § 200.332(e). Questioned Costs Questioned costs were not determinable. Context Of the fifteen (15) subrecipients selected for testing, which totaled $20,981,306, from a population of 76 subrecipients with expenditures totaling $101,950,949, the departments did not perform subrecipient monitoring for seven (7) subrecipients with expenditures totaling $19,118,116. The sample was not a statistically valid sample. Recommendation We recommend the County monitor the activities of the subrecipient as necessary to ensure that the subaward is used for authorized purposes and maintain sufficient records of monitoring subrecipients in accordance with subrecipient monitoring requirements. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action 1. Person responsible: Assistant Auditor-Controller, Department of Auditor-Controller 2. Corrective action plan: The County agrees with the finding and recommendation. The County hired independent Certified Public Accounting (CPA) firms to monitor CSLFRF subrecipients. The CSLFRF subrecipient monitoring reviews are currently in progress, with the objective of evaluating each subrecipient’s fiscal/administrative procedures, internal controls, records, and compliance with contractual service requirements. Based on an agreed-upon schedule with the Department of the Auditor-Controller, the CPA firms will document their reviews by issuing reports detailing the procedures performed and any findings. The County will be responsible for obtaining corrective action plans from subrecipients, monitoring findings, and ensuring that corrective actions are implemented. 3. Anticipated implementation date: June 30, 2026 214 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES STATUS OF PRIOR YEARS’ FINDINGS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS: Finding 2023-001 – Schedule of Expenditure of Federal Awards Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Criteria In accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 200.510 the non-Federal entity must prepare the schedule of expenditures of Federal awards (SEFA) for the period covered by the auditee non- Federal entity's financial statements which must include the total Federal awards expended as determined in accordance with § 200.502. 2 CFR § 200.502 states: The determination of when a Federal award is expended must be based on when the activity related to the Federal award occurs. Generally, the activity pertains to events that require the non-Federal entity to comply with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of Federal awards, such as: expenditure/expense transactions associated with awards including grants, cost-reimbursement contracts under the FAR, compacts with Indian Tribes, cooperative agreements, and direct appropriations; the disbursement of funds to subrecipients; the use of loan proceeds under loan and loan guarantee programs; the receipt of property; the receipt of surplus property; the receipt or use of program income; the distribution or use of food commodities; the disbursement of amounts entitling the non-Federal entity to an interest subsidy; and the period when insurance is in force. Condition During our audit of the Department of Public Health’s (DPH) Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases (ELC) program, we noted that DPH under reported expenditures in the SEFA for fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 by $27.5 million. The County disclosed the prior year expenditures not previously reported in note 9 to the SEFA. Recommendation We recommend that the DPH strengthen its processes for identifying and reporting Federal expenditures in the SEFA to ensure all services incurred but not paid during the applicable fiscal year are appropriately included in the SEFA. Current Year Management Response We have met and worked with the Auditor-Controller to get clarity on expenditure accruals reporting and have documented this via e-mail and internal notes. We continue to monitor the County Fiscal Manual and work with the Auditor-Controller any time we have questions. We have documented the expenditure accrual process in an internal policy and procedure (P&P) document. Current Status as of June 30, 2024 Implemented. 215 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES STATUS OF PRIOR YEARS’ FINDINGS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Finding 2023-002 – Schedule of Expenditure of Federal Awards Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Criteria In accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 200.510 the non-Federal entity must prepare the schedule of expenditures of Federal awards (SEFA) for the period covered by the auditee non- Federal entity's financial statements which must include the total Federal awards expended as determined in accordance with § 200.502. At a minimum, the schedule must provide total Federal awards expended for each individual Federal program and the Assistance Listings Number (ALN). Condition During our audit of the DPH’s Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant to the States (MCH) program, we noted that DPH incorrectly reported expenditures for the MCH Program in the SEFA. $2,163,020 in expenditures for ALN 93.778 Medicaid Assistance Program, were reported as MCH Program expenditures under ALN 93.994. The SEFA was corrected to properly report the expenditures under both ALNs. Recommendation We recommend that the DPH strengthen its processes for identifying and reporting Federal expenditures in the SEFA to ensure expenditures are reported under the correct federal program ALN. Current Year Management Response Department staff have reached out to the funding agency (the California Department of Public Health) to ensure that our interpretation and understanding of the Assistance Listing Numbers (ALN) are consistent with theirs. Moreover, on April 11th, 2024. Finance management e-mailed the instructions and reminders for verification of ALN # to all Grant Unit Division staff to ensure that they understand the various ALN codes and definitions. They now have a procedure to verify the ALNs by visiting SAM.gov. Current Status as of June 30, 2024 Implemented. 216 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES STATUS OF PRIOR YEARS’ FINDINGS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Finding 09-04 – Protection of Information Assets (DHS) Condition At another hospital facility, IT assets are not currently safeguarded by an active dry fire suppression system. The server room has a Halon system, but it had been disconnected. Recommendation We recommend that the County evaluate options and budget for the replacement of the Halon fire suppression system because the system should be reactivated as soon as possible. Current Year Management Response Project has been fully implemented and in production since December 28, 2023. Current Status as of June 30, 2024 Implemented. 217 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES STATUS OF PRIOR YEARS’ FINDINGS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS: Finding 2023-003 – DPH – Reporting ALN 93.323 Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases (ELC) Condition During our audit of the Department of Public Health’s (DPH) compliance with the reporting requirement to file FFATA Reports for the Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases (ELC) program, we noted that DPH submitted the FFATA report for one (1) subaward after the due date. Report Number of Subaward Reporting Name Subawards Obligation Date Period Due Date Date Submitted FFATA 1 10/5/2022 December 2022 11/30/2022 December 2022 This is a repeat finding of 2022-009. Recommendation We recommend that the DPH develop and document a process to identify, track and report all subaward agreements and modifications executed throughout the fiscal year and subject to FFATA reporting requirements. Current Year Management Response FFATA reporting is consistently entered and submitted into fsrs.gov no later than the end of the following month (due date) for the month being reported. Submittals are targeted for the end of the reporting month well in advance with auto-reminders in the submitter’s electronic calendar. The submitter’s supervisor is the reviewer and the submitter’s back-up. This includes keeping monitoring logs of all contract amendments and modifications that are subject to FFATA reporting requirements. Current Status as of June 30, 2024 Implemented. Finding 2023-004 – DPH – Reporting ALN 93.354 Public Health Emergency Response: Cooperative Agreement for Emergency Response: Public Health Crisis Response Condition During our audit of the DPH’s compliance with the reporting requirement for the Public Health Emergency Response: Cooperative Agreement for Emergency Response: Public Health Crisis Response (PHER) program, we noted that DPH submitted the FFATA reports for two (2) subawards after the due date. Report Number of Subaward Reporting Name Subawards Obligation Date Period Due Date Date Submitted FFATA 1 12/07/2021 August 2022 01/31/2022 August 2022 FFATA 1 04/19/2022 August 2022 05/31/2022 August 2022 218 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES STATUS OF PRIOR YEARS’ FINDINGS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Recommendation We recommend that the DPH develop and document a process to identify, track and report all subaward agreements and modifications executed throughout the fiscal year and subject to FFATA reporting requirements. Current Year Management Response A process has been developed and EPRD staff is in communications with the DPH programs that have subrecipient/contractors funded by this cooperative agreement. To date, there has been no new subaward agreements or modifications to the agreements already executed; however, EPRD will follow the procedures outlined in the prior year management response if/when this occurs. Current Status as of June 30, 2024 Implemented. Finding 2023-005 – DPH – Reporting ALN 93.940 HIV Prevention Activities Health Department Based Condition During our audit of the DPH’s compliance with the reporting requirement for the HIV Prevention Activities Health Department Based program, we noted that DPH submitted the FFATA reports for seven (7) subawards after the due date. Report Number of Subaward Reporting Name Subawards Obligation Date Period Due Date Date Submitted FFATA 1 02/07/2023 June 2023 03/31/2023 June 2023 FFATA 1 09/16/ 2022 December 2022 10/31/2022 December 2022 FFATA 1 02/16/2023 June 2023 03/31/2023 June 2023 FFATA 1 09/06/2022 December 2022 10/31/2022 December 2022 FFATA 1 03/03/2023 June 2023 04/30/2023 June 2023 FFATA 1 12/20/2022 June 2023 01/31/2023 June 2023 FFATA 1 10/12/2022 December 2022 11/30/2022 December 2022 This is a repeat finding of 2022-010. Recommendation We recommend that the DPH develop and document a process to identify, track and report all subaward agreements and modifications executed throughout the fiscal year and subject to FFATA reporting requirements. Current Year Management Response DPH utilizes its Master Contract Listing file, which records details such as funding sources, contract terms/schedule numbers, and contract amounts whenever a contract undergoes execution, augmentation, or modifications to identify sub-recipients who exceed the threshold, prompting FFATA reporting. Subsequently, DPH uploads its sub-award data in batches to the Federal Funding Accountability and 219 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES STATUS OF PRIOR YEARS’ FINDINGS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System (FSRS). DPH retrieves and documents the FFATA reports via FSRS's main navigation, specifying the month of submission. Current Status as of June 30, 2024 Implemented. Finding 2023-006 – DPH – Procurement and Suspension and Debarment ALN 93.354 Public Health Emergency Response: Cooperative Agreement for Emergency Response: Public Health Crisis Response Condition During our audit of the Department of Public Health (DPH) compliance with the procurement and suspension and debarment requirements for the Public Health Emergency Response: Cooperative Agreement for Emergency Response: Public Health Crisis Response Program, we noted that for one (1) contract, DPH did not provide documentation related to the history of the procurement. Therefore, we were unable to determine whether DPH complied with the procurement requirements related to the method of procurement, competition, and the basis for the contract price. In addition, for the same one (1) contract, DPH did not provide documentation to demonstrate DPH verified that the vendor was not suspended or debarred from participating in federally funded contracts prior to entering into a covered transaction. Based on a subsequent review of the SAM exclusions, the vendor is not suspended or debarred. Recommendation We recommend County departments discuss and document sensitive legal matters funded by federal funds with respective grantors to obtain guidance and direction on addressing audit requests. In addition, we recommend that DPH ensure sufficient documentation is maintained and available to demonstrate compliance with suspension or debarment. Acceptable items to confirm that vendors and subrecipients are not suspended or debarred are: 1) include a contract clause or condition to the covered transaction with that contractor, 2) search SAM exclusions prior to entering into a contract and maintain documentation of that verification, or 3) collect a certification from the contractor. Current Year Management Response DPH procurement and their liaisons in divisions and programs have adjusted their processes to check SAM.gov for all transactions involving federal funding, including the divisions and offices that were the subject of these findings. Due to year-end processing deadlines for purchase orders and contracts, two final actions remain for the department to execute: (1) DPH will be working with County Counsel to include the relevant terms and conditions in our various contract templates to alert the contractor to this requirement, 2) distribute a department-wide memo that will require all liaisons to attach proof of verification with each purchase order and/or contract requests submitted for processing. Item 1 may take through the end of August 2024 due to the number of contract templates and time for review and approval from Counsel. Item 2 above is expected to be completed by August 16, 2024. Current Status as of June 30, 2024 Implemented. 220 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES STATUS OF PRIOR YEARS’ FINDINGS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Finding 2023-007 – DPH – Procurement and Suspension and Debarment ALN 93.391 Activities to Support State, Tribal, Local and Territorial (STLT) Health Department Response to Public Health or Healthcare Crises Condition During our audit of the Department of Public Health (DPH) compliance with suspension and debarment requirements for the Activities to Support State, Tribal, Local and Territorial (STLT) Health Department Response to Public Health or Healthcare Crises Program, we noted that for one (1) contract, DPH did not provide documentation to demonstrate DPH verified that a vendor was not suspended or debarred from participating in federally funded contracts prior to entering into a covered transaction. Based on a subsequent review of the SAM exclusions, the vendor is not suspended or debarred. Recommendation We recommend that DPH either: 1) include a contract clause or condition to the covered transaction with that person, 2) check the SAM exclusions prior to entering into a contract and maintain documentation of that verification, or 3) collect a certification from that person. Current Year Management Response Staff are now checking the SAM exclusions before entering into any contracts and maintaining documentation of that verification to provide upon request. Staff were reminded of this process during a meeting. Current Status as of June 30, 2024 Implemented. Finding 2023-008 – DPH – Procurement and Suspension and Debarment ALN 93.069 Public Health Emergency Preparedness Condition During our audit of the Department of Public Health (DPH) compliance with the procurement and suspension and debarment requirements for the Public Health Emergency Preparedness Program, we noted the following:  For twenty-one (21) contracts, DPH did not provide documentation related to the history of the procurement. Therefore, we were unable to determine whether DPH complied with the procurement requirements related to the method of procurement, competition, and the basis for the contract price.  For two (2) contracts, DPH did not provide documentation of the justification and approval of sole source. Therefore, we were unable to determine whether the procurement method used was appropriate and whether limiting competition was justified.  For three (3) contracts, DPH did not provide documentation to demonstrate DPH verified that the vendor was not suspended or debarred from participating in federally funded contracts prior to entering into a covered transaction. Based on a subsequent review of the SAM exclusions, the vendors are not suspended or debarred. 221 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES STATUS OF PRIOR YEARS’ FINDINGS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Recommendation We recommend that DPH maintain sufficient records to support vendor selection in accordance with procurement requirements. In addition, we recommend that DPH either: 1) include a contract clause or condition to the covered transaction with that person, 2) check the SAM exclusions prior to entering into a contract and maintain documentation of that verification, or 3) collect a certification from that person. Current Year Management Response Department of Public Health (DPH), Acute Communicable Disease Control (ACDC) agrees with the finding and recommendation. Before entering into a contract, DPH will check for SAM exclusions with a date indicating verification before contract execution and keep this documentation on file. In addition, DPH ACDC will maintain procurement related documentation justifying the method and rationale for vendor selection along with the purchase orders. The procurement related documentation will be retained by administrative staff in a shared folder with subfolders for each executed contract and for each generated services and supplies order placed with a contractor/vendor. Department of Public Health (DPH), Administrative Services Division (ASD) – Procurement agrees with the finding and recommendation. DPH ASD Manager will email Procurement staff to remind them to ensure SAM.GOV verification documents are included in all federally funded purchases before finalizing/approving those transactions. DPH ASD will also maintain procurement related documentation justifying the method and rationale for vendor selection along with the purchase orders. Procurement related documentation will be retained in eCAPS for each transaction. Procurement Supervisors/Managers will be required to document their approval of purchases to ensure all necessary documents are included in eCAPS. Current Status as of June 30, 2024 Partially implemented as of June 30, 2024; however, not operational until FY 2025-26. See current year finding 2024-001. Finding 2023-009 – CEO/ISD/DCBA/DA –Subrecipient Monitoring ALN 21.027 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Condition During our audit of the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) program, we selected twenty-three (23) subrecipients with active contracts with the County during FY 2022-23.  One (1) contract administered by the Internal Services Department (ISD) did not include one or more of the required elements defined in 2 CFR § 200.332 (a)(1) in the subrecipients’ agreements.  One (1) contract administered by the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCBA) did not include one or more of the required elements defined in 2 CFR § 200.332(a)(1) in the subrecipients’ agreements.  For four (4) contracts administered by the Aging Department (AD), the AD did not perform subrecipient monitoring related to the CSLFRF program during FY 2022-23. 222 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES STATUS OF PRIOR YEARS’ FINDINGS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Recommendation We recommend the County perform the following: 1. Remind departments that the Notice of Federal Subaward Information is a required attachment for all subrecipient agreements. In addition, subaward contract templates should be reviewed and revised to include placeholders for required information 2 CFR § 200.332(a)(1). 2. For existing subrecipients that were not provided the required elements, provide a letter or amended agreement to include all the required elements of 2 CFR § 200.332(a)(1). 3. Maintain sufficient records of monitoring subrecipients in accordance with subrecipient monitoring requirements. Current Year Management Response On June 7, 2024, the County hired independent Certified Public Accounting (CPA) firms to monitor the CSLFRF subrecipients for various County departments and document the reviews in accordance with subrecipient monitoring requirements. In addition, the County issued a solicitation for the Department of Aging & Disabilities to monitor their department CSLFRF subrecipients. The County will obtain corrective action plans from each subrecipients, track the resolution of all findings, and ensure subrecipients correct all findings in the CPA firms' monitoring reports. The expected implementation has been pushed to June 30, 2026. On June 28, 2024, the County issued correspondence reminding departments to use the Notice of Federal Subaward Information template to communicate the 14 reporting elements required by 2 CFR § 200.332(a) to their subrecipients at the time of the subaward. The correspondence also reminded departments to use the Notice of Federal Subaward Information to provide all the required elements from 2 CFR § 200.332(a) to existing subrecipients that were not initially provided all the requirements. In addition, departments were reminded to monitor all their subrecipients, including CSLFRF subrecipients, and use the Subrecipient Monitoring Guide, issued in June 2023, to assist their compliance with Uniform Guidance subrecipient monitoring requirements. Current Status as of June 30, 2024 Recommendations 1 and 2 are implemented as of June 30, 2024. However, recommendation 3 is in progress and not operational until fiscal year 2025-26. Partially implemented. See current year finding 2024- 002. Finding 2023-010 – CEO/DPH –Period of Performance ALN 21.027 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Condition During our audit of the CSLFRF program, we selected twenty-five (25) employees with payroll expenditures included in the County’s CSLFRF claims during FY 2022-23, and the expenditures for two employees were incurred before March 3, 2021. Recommendation We recommend the County verify the date worked for all employees included in the CSLFRF claims was incurred or obligated on or after March 3, 2021. 223 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES STATUS OF PRIOR YEARS’ FINDINGS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Current Year Management Response Corrective action for CSLFRF period of performance has been implemented as of June 30, 2024. To address the recommendation, the County reviewed CSLFRF claims, verified claimed payroll expenditures were incurred or obligated on or after March 3, 2021, and removed $47,137 of claimed payroll expenditures incurred prior to March 3, 2021 (JVA-AC-CARP2418PH). In addition, the payroll expenditure reversal has been included on the CSLFRF federal quarterly report that is due July 30, 2024. Current Status as of June 30, 2024 Implemented. Finding 2022-006 – DPW – Procurement and Suspension and Debarment ALN 20.205 Highway Planning and Construction Condition During our audit of the Highway Planning and Construction program, we noted that the Department of Public Works (DPW) was not able to provide documentation to demonstrate DPW verified that a vendor was not suspended or debarred from participating in federally funded contracts prior to entering into a covered transaction for three (3) of the twelve (12) vendors selected for testing. Based on a subsequent review of the SAM exclusions, the vendor is not suspended or debarred. This is a repeat finding of 2021-001. Recommendation We recommend that DPW either: 1) include a contract clause or condition to the covered transaction with that person, 2) check the SAM exclusions prior to entering into a contract and maintain documentation of that verification, or 3) collect a certification from that person. Current Year Management Response Public Works implemented corrective action by instructing the divisions on April 10, 2023, to check the System Award Management (SAM) exclusions before entering into a contract and to maintain documentation of the SAM verification. Additionally, Public Works included a SAM debarment contract clause in the agreements for service and professional contracts.

Current Year Management Response FFATA reporting is consistently entered into fsrs.gov no later than the end of the following month (due date) for the month being reported. Submittals are targeted for the end of the reporting month well in advance with auto-reminders in the submitter's electronic calendar and auto-reminder e-mails to the DPH Finance team leads of needed financial information a week in advance of the quarterly due date. The submitter's supervisor is also the reviewer and the submitter's back-up. Quarterly expenditure reporting for the 20th of each quarter has been consistently sent to CDC since 8/20/23. Performance Measure reports are timely submitted and can be obtained from CDC's back-end process from their system. Requested documentation will show when the reports were entered and submitted. At the beginning of the grant cycle, a meeting is held with our ELC Governance Team, project leads, and relevant staff. During that meeting, grant deliverables and reporting periods are reviewed. Staff are also reminded of these responsibilities periodically throughout the course of the grant cycle. At the beginning of the month when quarterly performance measures are due, our Grant Manager disseminates reporting reminders and instructions for accessing and completing the reports. In addition, the grant manager resolves issues, extends access to new staff, and assists with data entry as needed. The Grant Manager monitors the progress of submissions and follows up on any delays or problems that are hindering the completion of our reports. Once our performance measures are final and all have been successfully submitted to the CDC, the Grant Manager downloads copies of the reports, sends them to all ELC staff, and archives them for our records. Current Status as of June 30, 2024 Implemented. Finding 2021-008 – Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk – Procurement and Suspension and Debarment ALN 90.404 2018 HAVA Election Security Grants Condition During our review of the 2018 HAVA Election Security Grants program, we noted that fourteen (14) vendor contracts reviewed did not include a suspension and debarment certification clause indicating the vendor was not suspended or debarred from participation in federally funded contracts. There was no other documentation available to demonstrate that the verification of suspension and debarment was performed prior to entering into the covered transactions. Based on a subsequent review of the SAM exclusions, those fourteen (14) vendors are not suspended or debarred. Recommendation We recommend that Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk check the SAM exclusions prior to entering into a contract, maintain documentation of that verification, and add a clause to the contract that requires vendors to certify that they are not suspended or debarred. 227 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES STATUS OF PRIOR YEARS’ FINDINGS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Current Year Management Response Per ISD Purchasing Manager, ISD is continuing to work on changing their language on the standardized purchasing template to include the debarments clause for use by every department.

Finding 2020-003 – DCFS – Allowable Costs/Cost Principles ALN 93.558 Temporary Assistance for Needy Families; 93.658 Foster Care Title IV-E; 93.659 Adoption Assistance; 93.674 John H. Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood Condition During our review of the payroll transactions, one (1) timesheet for indirect payroll and one (1) timesheet for direct payroll from the TANF program were not approved timely. Recommendation We recommend that DCFS strengthen its review process to ensure all timesheets and manual corrections are approved in a timely manner. Current Year Management Response As a result of continued system conflicts with Hyland’s proprietary software and errors with the Hyland database, this project was placed on hold indefinitely. DCFS was ultimately forced to withdraw from the Hyland project. In January 2024, DCFS’ Business Information System section (BIS) assumed the responsibility of creating the new Timesheet Correction System (TCS). In February 2024, the BIS development team began meeting with the Payroll management team to gather the parameters necessary to create and launch the new TCS database. TCS has been designed to track timesheet corrections from submission through the approval process. BIS is on target to complete the TCS database. The Payroll Section user training is tentatively scheduled for the week of July 22, 2024, with user testing and acceptance scheduled to begin from July 29, 2024 through August 9, 2024. It is the goal of both Teams to have the TCS rolled out Department-wide on September 30, 2024.
