Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Board of Directors
Los Angeles County Capital Asset Leasing Corporation
Los Angeles, California
Report on the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Los Angeles County Capital Asset
Leasing Corporation (LACCAL), a blended component unit of the County of Los Angeles, California, as
of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the LACCAL’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the LACCAL as of June 30, 2022, and the changes in financial position and cash
flows for the fiscal year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. 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 LACCAL 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 opinion.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 LACCAL’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 generally accepted auditing
standards 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 generally accepted auditing standards 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 LACCAL’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 LACCAL’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.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
Management’s Discussion and Analysis on pages 4 through 6, be presented to supplement the basic
financial statements. Such information, 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, 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.
2
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated April 10,
2023, on our consideration of the Authority’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of
its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing and not to provide an opinion on the
internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Authority’s internal
control over financial reporting and compliance.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY CAPITAL ASSET LEASING CORPORATION
A Not-for-Profit Public Benefit Corporation
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
The Los Angeles County Capital Asset Leasing Corporation (LACCAL) was organized as a not-
for-profit public benefit corporation in February 1983. The purpose was to purchase equipment,
machinery, vehicles, and other tangible personal property for lease to the County of Los Angeles
(County). LACCAL is governed by a five-member Board of Directors (Board) designated by the
Board of Supervisors of the County. LACCAL is included in the County’s financial reporting entity
and is included as a blended component unit in the County’s Annual Comprehensive Financial
Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.
LACCAL is exempt from the payment of Federal income and California franchise taxes. However,
the LACCAL is subject to the arbitrage restrictions under the U.S. Treasury Regulation Section
1.103, which may result in rebates of excess earnings to the U.S. Treasury Department.
The accompanying financial statements reflect the financial activities of LACCAL. LACCAL has
no component units.
Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Accounting
The basic financial statements of LACCAL are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). LACCAL is accounted for as an enterprise
fund (proprietary fund type) using the accrual basis of accounting. A fund is an accounting entity
with a self-balancing set of accounts established to record the financial position and results of
operations of a specific governmental activity. LACCAL utilizes the accrual basis of accounting.
Revenues are recognized when they are earned and become measurable, and expenses are
recorded when the liability is incurred. Leases are classified as direct financing leases for
accounting purposes. 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 premium or
discount. Bond issuance costs are recognized in the period issued.
LACCAL’s financial statements are presented in accordance with the provisions of Governmental
Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, Basic Financial statements – and Management’s
Discussion and Analysis – for State and Local Governments, GASB Statement No. 63, Financial
Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of resources, and Net Position.
GASB Statement No. 34 established standards for external financial reporting for all state and
local governmental entities and GASB Statement No. 63 established standards for reporting
deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources, and net position in a statement of
financial position. The net position is required to be classified into three components – net
investment in capital assets, restricted, and unrestricted. These classifications are defined as
follows:
Net investment in capital assets – This component of net position consists of capital assets,
including restricted capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and is reduced by the
outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are attributable to
the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets. If there are significant unspent

Basis of Presentation and Accounting (Continued)
related debt proceeds at fiscal year-end, the portion of the debt attributable to the unspent
proceeds is not included in the calculation of net investment in capital assets. Rather, that portion
of the debt is included in the same net position component as the unspent proceeds. As of June
30, 2022, LACCAL had no capital assets.
Restricted net position – This component of net position represents restricted assets net of
liabilities that relate to those specific restricted assets. A restricted asset is an asset for which
constraints have been placed on the asset’s use by creditors, contributors, laws, or regulations of
other governments, or as a consequence of a restriction established by the reporting
government’s own governing body at the time a particular fee, charge, levy, or assessment was
approved. These restrictions must be narrower than the general purposes for which the reporting
government can use its resources. As of June 30, 2022, LACCAL had a balance of $5,880 of
restricted net position.
Unrestricted net position – This component of net position consists of net position that does not
meet the definition of “restricted” or “net investment in capital assets.” As of June 30, 2022,
LACCAL had a balance of $6,731,145 of unrestricted net position.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is LACCAL’s policy to
use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
Cash and Investments
Investments are reported at fair value in accordance with the provisions of GASB Statement No.
72, Fair Value Measurement and Application.
Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as investment income reported
for that fiscal year. Investment income includes interest earnings, changes in fair value and any
gains or losses realized upon the liquidation or sale of investments.
For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include all highly
liquid investments (including restricted assets) with maturity of three months or less when
purchased.
Revenues and Expenses
Operating revenues consist of interest received from direct financing leases. This interest revenue
is an integral part of the programs of LACCAL and is the primary source for paying the expenses
of LACCAL. Operating expenses consist of interest expense on lease revenue bonds and bond
anticipation notes (BANs) as well as administrative expenses to operate LACCAL. All LACCAL
expenses are related to operating the programs.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued)
Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 CASH AND INVESTMENTS
California Government Code Sections 53601 and 53635 authorize LACCAL to invest in
obligations of the United States Treasury, federal agencies and municipalities commercial paper
rated A-1 by Standard & Poor’s Global Rating Services, P-1 by Moody’s Commercial Paper
Record, or F-1 by Fitch Ratings, bankers’ acceptances, repurchase agreements, reverse
repurchase agreements, and the County Treasurer’s Investment Pool.
As provided by the State of California Government Code, substantially all cash balances of
LACCAL are pooled and invested by the County Treasurer and are subjected to withdrawal from
the pool upon demand. LACCAL’s share of the total pooled cash and investments of the County
Treasurer is included in the accompanying balance sheet under “Pooled Cash and Investments.”
The difference between LACCAL’s carrying value in the investment pool and their proportional
share of the fair value of the underlining securities is not material to the financial statements of
LACCAL. Included in the Pooled Surplus Investments portfolio are United States government
and agency obligations, bankers’ acceptances, commercial paper, municipal obligations,
corporate and deposit notes, repurchase agreements, and negotiable certificates of deposit.
Fair Value Measurements
Investments are stated at fair value and are valued on a monthly basis. The County 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. Investments in an external government investment pool are not subject to
reporting within the level hierarchy.
Custodial Credit Risk
The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a counterparty
to a transaction, LACCAL will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral
securities that are in the possession of another party. As of June 30, 2022, LACCAL’s investments
consisted of money market fund shares and other qualified investments in the amount of $6,901
12
LOS ANGELES COUNTY CAPITAL ASSET LEASING CORPORATION

NOTE 2 CASH AND INVESTMENTS (Continued)
Custodial Credit Risk (Continued)
and investments pooled with the County Treasurer in the amount of $4,087,295 which represents
less than 0.1% of the total County pooled investments. The investments held by the trustees are
not exposed to custodial credit risk since they are in LACCAL’s name. Likewise, the deposits are
pooled with the County are not exposed to custodial credit risk since all of its deposits are either
covered by the federal depository insurance or collateralized with securities held by the County
or its agent in the County’s name, in accordance with California Government Code Section 53652.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of credit risk is the risk associated with the amount of investments LACCAL has
with any one issuer that exceeds 5% or more of its total investments. Investments in money
market mutual funds are excluded from this requirement. Furthermore, investments with the
County Treasurer are subject to a policy that establishes minimum acceptable credit ratings for
investments from any two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Also, the County
Treasurer mitigated the risks by holding a diversified portfolio of high-quality investments. As of
June 30, 2022, LACCAL was not exposed to concentration of credit risk.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the
investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical
rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by the trust agreement, and
the actual rating as of fiscal year-end.
Investment Type
Held by Minimum Rating as of
Bond Trustee Amount Rating June 30, 2022
Money Market Funds $ 6 ,901 AAAm/AAAm-G AAAm
The Investment Policy, approved annually by the Board of Supervisors, limits the maximum total
par value of each permissible security type (e.g., commercial paper and certificates of deposit) to
a certain percentage of the Pool portfolio. Exceptions to this are obligations of the United States
government, and the United States government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises,
which do not have a limit.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an
investment. In general, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its
fair value to changes in market interest rates. LACCAL does not have a formal policy that limits
investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from
increasing interest rates, except for bills of exchange or time drafts, and commercial paper, with
maturity dates not to exceed 270 days.

Interest Rate Risk (Continued)
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of LACCAL’s investment held by trustees to
market rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of their
investments by maturity:

Investments
Held by 12 Months 13 to 24 25 to 60 More than
Trustee or Less Months Months 60 Months Total
Money Market $ 6,901 $ - $ - $ - $ 6,901
The County Treasurer mitigates exposure to declines in fair value by investing in short-term
investments with maturities of six months or less and by holding asset investments to maturity.
The investment guidelines limit the weighted average maturity target to a range between one and
three years. At June 30, 2022, 61.29% of the County Investment Pool has a maturity of six months
or less. Of the remainder, 37.34% has a maturity of more than one year. The weighted average
maturity in years for the Pool was 2.35.
NOTE 3 INSTALLMENT SALE RECEIVABLE
The main purpose of LACCAL is to lease equipment, vehicles and other tangible personal
properties to the County. Lease terms generally range from three to five years and are close to
the useful life of leased assets.
The installment sales receivable at June 30, 2022 is as follows:
Total Minimum Lease Payments Receivable $ 3 ,161,405

Bond Anticipation Notes (BANs)
LACCAL BANs are purchased as an investment by the County Treasury Pool in accordance with
the terms of the “Resolution of the Board of Directors of the LACCAL Corporation” adopted on
June 24, 1986. Later, the resolution was revised to the “Resolution of the LACCAL
Reauthorization A Program for the Issuance of Bond Anticipation Notes to Finance Equipment,
Increase the Amount Thereof and Providing Additional Security for the Repayment Thereof” which
was adopted by the County on February 10, 1995.
Proceeds from these notes are used to purchase equipment, machinery, and vehicles and other
tangible personal property. The interest rate is based upon the pricing of the six-month U.S.
Treasury Bill plus 0.50% at the time of the draw, and then adjusted to changes in that rate on a
reset date. The reset date is January 2 and July 1 of each fiscal year.

NOTE 4 LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)
Bond Anticipation Notes (BANs) (Continued)
Adjustments will be made to the Treasury Rate on two reset dates following the initial draw. The
interest rate for draws which remain unpaid on the third reset date will convert on that date to the
Bank of America prime rate and will be reset quarterly thereafter. Interest on these notes is
payable to the Treasury Pool on January 2 and July 1. The principal and remaining interest on
the notes are payable upon issuance of leasehold revenue bonds prior to maturity of the notes.
Authorized BANs remaining in a fiscal year may be carried over to a subsequent fiscal year to
fund equipment acquisition received in the fiscal year following the one in which they were
initiated. The maximum aggregate principal amount of these notes authorized by the Board during
the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, and 2021 were $55,000,000 and $0, respectively. On
December 6, 2022 an additional $33,000,000 in BANs were authorized by the Board.
There were no BANS outstanding at June 30, 2022.
During August 2022, $5,000,000 in BANS were issued by LACCAL.
BANs are secured by annual base rental payments from various County departments for use of
the equipment or facilities constructed or purchased from the note proceeds.
NOTE 5 CONDUIT DEBT OBLIGATIONS
The County utilizes LACCAL to periodically issue Lease Revenue Obligation Notes (LRON) to
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 costs 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 the LACCAL.
The LOCs were issued for a five-year period and have a termination date of April 30, 2024. The
County has 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 aggregate maximum principal amount of the four LOCs is $600,000,000, which consists of
$100,000,000 of Series A (Bank of the West), $200,000,000 of Series B (U.S. Bank),
$200,000,000 of Series C (Wells Fargo Bank), and $100,000,000 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 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 equal to 0.35% of the maximum
principal amount of the LOC. As of June 30, 2022, $254,340,000 of LRON issued under the
program were outstanding, including $18,930,000 of Series A, $86,000,000 of Series B,
$80,290,000 of Series C, and $65,120,000 of Series D.

NOTE 5 CONDUIT DEBT OBLIGATIONS (Continued)
LRON does not constitute an indebtedness of LACCAL and is payable solely by the County.
LRON is not payable from any revenues or assets of LACCAL and LACCAL is not obligated to
the payment of the principal or interest on LRON. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded in
the accompanying basic financial statements.
NOTE 6 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The County maintains the books and records of LACCAL, including the investment with the
County Treasurer.
Transactions with the County
The County is responsible for performing all administrative and operational functions for LACCAL.
Costs related to these functions are absorbed by the County’s General Fund. Accordingly,
LACCAL has no salaries and employee benefit expenditures or supplies inventory. Any surplus
gained from lease revenues collected from County departments are transferred back to the
County after bond maturation.
