INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors
of the City of Azusa Public Financing Authority
Azusa, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major
fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Azusa Public Financing Authority, (the
Authority) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements,
which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from
material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.

To the Board of Directors
of the City of Azusa Public Financing Authority
Azusa, California
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregated
remaining fund information of the Authority, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the city of Azusa, California, as of June 30, 2017, and the respective changes in financial
position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Management has omitted the management’s discussion and analysis that accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic
financial statements. Such missing 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. Our opinion on the basic financial statements is not affected by this missing
information.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated May 8, 2018,
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
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.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
City of Azusa Public Financing Authority
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30, 2017
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The basic financial statements of the Azusa Public Financing Authority (Authority) have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States as applied to
governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-
setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more
significant of the Authority’s accounting policies are described below:
A. Description of Reporting Entity
Azusa Public Financing Authority (the Authority) is a joint powers agency created by a joint powers
agreement between the City of Azusa Redevelopment Agency, dated January 2, 1990. It was created
pursuant to Articles 1 through 4 of Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1 of the Government Code of the State of
California in accordance with the provisions of the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985. The
purpose of the Authority is to provide loans to refinance certain debt previously issued by the City of
Azusa and to finance certain capital improvement projects for the benefit of the City and the Agency.
The redevelopment Agency was dissolved as of January 31, 2012, through the Supreme Court decision
on Assembly Bill 1X 26.
The Authority is an integral part of the reporting entity of the City of Azusa. The funds of the Authority
have been included within the scope of the financial statements of the City because of the City Council
of the City of Azusa is the governing board and has responsibility over the operation of the Authority.
Only the funds of the Authority are included herein; therefore, these financial statements do not purport
to represent the financial position of results of operation of the City of Azusa, California.
B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The accounts of the Authority are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a
separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-
balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures or
expenses, as appropriate. Governmental resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual
funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending
activities are controlled.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The Authority’s government-wide financial statements include a Statement of Net Position, a Statement of
Activities and Changes in Net Position. These statements present summaries of governmental activities for
the Authority.
These statements are presented on an “economic resources” measurement focus and the accrual basis of
accounting. The Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position presents changes in Net Position.
Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned
while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. The type of transactions
reported as program revenues for the Authority are reported in charges for services.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30, 2017
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
C. Cash and Cash Equivalent
The Authority pools its cash and investments with the City’s cash & investments. The balance in the
pooled cash account is available to meet current operating requirements. Cash in excess of current
requirements is invested in various interest-bearing accounts and other investments for varying terms.
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 40, Deposit and Investment Disclosures (Amendment of GASB
No. 3), certain disclosure requirements for Deposits and Investment Risks were made in the following
areas:
Interest Rate Risk
Credit Risk
Overall
Custodial Credit Risk
Concentrations of Credit Risk
In addition, other disclosures are specified including use of certain methods to present deposits and
investments, highly sensitive investments, credit quality at year-end, and other disclosures.
Highly liquid market investments with maturities of one year or less at time of purchase are stated at
amortized cost. All other investments are stated at fair value. Market value is used as fair value for those
securities for which market quotations are readily available.
The City participates in an investment pool managed by the State of California titled Local Agency
Investment Fund (LAIF) which has invested a portion of the pooled funds in Structured Notes and Asset-
Backed Securities. LAIF’s investments are subject to credit risk with the full faith and credit of the State of
California collateralizing these investments. In addition, these Structured Notes and Asset-Backed
Securities are subject to market risk as to the change in interest rates.
Cash equivalents are considered amounts in demand deposits and short-term investments with a maturity
date within three months of the date acquired by the City and are presented as “Cash and Investments” in
the accompanying Basic Financial Statements.
D. Long-Term Obligations
In the basic financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as
liabilities in the governmental activities. Bond premiums and discounts, if material, are deferred and
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 expensed as incurred.
City of Azusa Public Financing Authority
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30, 2017
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
E. Deferred Outflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for
deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of
resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be
recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/ expenditure) until then. The Authority only has one
item that qualifies for reporting in this category. It is the deferred charge on refunding debt reported in
the government-wide statement of net position. A deferred charge on refunding results from the
difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred
and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
F. Net Position
In the basic financial statements, Net Position is classified in the following category:
Restricted Net Position – This amount is restricted by external creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or
regulations of other governments.
G. Use of Restricted / Unrestricted Net Position
When an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted Net Position is
available, the Authority’s policy is to apply restricted Net Position first.
H. Fund Balances
Fund balances are classified as follows:
Nonspendable Fund Balances
These include amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b)
legally or contractually required to be maintained intact, e.g., the principal of an endowment fund.
Examples of “not in spendable form” include inventory, prepaid amounts, long-term notes and loans,
property held for resale and other items not expected to be converted to cash. However, if the proceeds
from the eventual sale or liquidation of the items would be considered restricted, committed or assigned
(as defined further on) then these amounts would be included in the restricted, committed or assigned
instead of the nonspendable classification. A debt service reserve fund held by a trustee is an example
of fund balance in nonspendable form that is classified as restricted instead of nonspendable since the
reserve is eventually liquidated to make the final debt service principal payment.
Restricted Fund Balances
Restricted fund balances have externally enforceable limitations on use. The limitations on use can be
imposed by creditors, grantors, or contributors as well as by constitutional provisions, enabling
legislation, laws and government regulations.
City of Azusa Public Financing Authority
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30, 2017
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
H. Fund Balances, Continued
Committed Fund Balances
Amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action
(Resolution) of the Board are classified as committed fund balances.
Assigned Fund Balances
Fund balance amounts for which the Board has expressed intent for use but not taken formal action to
commit are reported as assigned under GASB 54.
Unassigned Fund Balance
These are either residual positive net resources of the General Fund in excess of what can properly be
classified in one of the other four categories, or negative balances.
Hierarchy of Expenditures to Classify Fund Balance Amounts
To determine the composition of ending fund balances, the Board established the order in which
restricted and unrestricted (committed, assigned and unassigned) funds are to be expended. To this
purpose, for expenditures made in any governmental fund, the restricted amounts will be reduced first,
followed by committed amounts, assigned amounts, and then unassigned amounts.
I. Use of Estimates
The preparation of basic financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires Authority management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain
amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
J. New Pronouncements
In fiscal year 2017, the Authority adopted the following Governmental Accounting Standards Board
Statements:
GASB Statement No. 74, Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other Than Pension
Plans– The objective of this Statement is to improve the usefulness of information about postemployment
benefits other than pensions (other postemployment benefits or OPEB) included in the general purpose
external financial reports of state and local governmental OPEB plans for making decisions and assessing
accountability. This Statement results from a comprehensive review of the effectiveness of existing
standards of accounting and financial reporting for all postemployment benefits (pensions and OPEB)
with regard to providing decision-useful information, supporting assessments of accountability and
interperiod equity, and creating additional transparency. The requirements of this statement were not
applicable to the Authority.

J. New Pronouncements, Continued
GASB Statement No. 77, Tax Abatement Disclosure- This Statement addresses the financial
statements prepared by state and local governments in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles provide citizens and taxpayers, legislative and oversight bodies, municipal
bond analysts, and others with information they need to evaluate the financial health of
governments, make decisions, and assess accountability. This information is intended, among other
things, to assist these users of financial statements in assessing (1) whether a government’s current-
year revenues were sufficient to pay for current-year services (known as interperiod equity), (2)
whether a government complied with finance-related legal and contractual obligations, (3) where a
government’s financial resources come from and how it uses them, and (4) a government’s financial
position and economic condition and how they have changed over time. The requirements of this
statement were not applicable to the Authority.
GASB Statement No. 78, Pension Provided through Certain Multiple-Employer Defined Benefit
Pension Plans– The objective of this Statement is to address a practice issue regarding the scope and
applicability of Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions. This issue is
associated with pensions provided through certain multiple-employer defined benefit pension plans
and to state or local governmental employers whose employees are provided with such pensions. The
requirements of this statement were not applicable to the Authority.
GASB Statement No. 80, Blending Requirements for Certain Component Units – An Amendment of
GASB Statement No. 14 - The objective of this Statement is to improve financial reporting by
clarifying the financial statement presentation requirements for certain component units. This
Statement amends the blending requirements established in paragraph 53 of Statement No. 14, The
Financial Reporting Entity, as amended. This Statement amends the blending requirements for the
financial statement presentation of component units of all state and local governments. The
additional criterion requires blending of a component unit incorporated as a not-for-profit
corporation in which the primary government is the sole corporate member. The additional criterion
does not apply to component units included in the financial reporting entity pursuant to the
provisions of Statement No. 39, Determining Whether Certain Organizations Are Component Units. The
requirements of this statement were not applicable to the Authority.

B. 2015 Water System Refunding Revenue Bonds
On July 23, 2015, the City issued $47,740,000 of 2015 Water System Refunding Revenue Bonds. The
proceeds were used to refinance all of the City’s obligations in connection with the Azusa Public
Financing Authority Parity Revenue Bonds (Water System Capital Improvements Program) Series 2006,
and pay costs of issuance incurred in connection with the issuance of the 2015 Bonds. The bonds are
payable solely from the Water net revenues, and the City is not obligated to pay them except from the
applicable Water net revenues. The refunding resulted in a difference between there acquisition price
and the net carrying amount of the old debt of $625,426, which is reported as a deferred outflow of
resources in the accompanying financial statements and amortized over the remaining life of the
refunded debt. The City completed the refunding to reduce its total debt service payments by $3,440,000

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
To the Board of Directors
of the City of Azusa Public Financing Authority
Azusa, California
We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the financial statements of the City of Azusa Public
Financing Authority (Authority), a component unit of the City of Azusa, as of and for the year ended June
30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Authority’s basic
financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated May 8, 2018.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Authority’s internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the 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 Authority’s internal control. Accordingly, we
do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority’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
may exist that have not been identified.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Authority’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
determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The
results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.
