In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Authority as of June 30, 2023, and the changes in financial position and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance 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 the Authority 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. Emphasis of Matter Yorba Linda Water District Financing Authority Financial Statements As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements of the Authority, are intended to present the financial position, the changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows of only that portion of the District that is attributable to the transactions of the Authority. They do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the District, as of June 30, 2023, the changes in its financial position, or, where applicable, its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 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. 3 Page 6 of 18 To the Board of Directors Yorba Linda Water District Financing Authority Placentia, California 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 Authority’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 the Authority’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 Authority’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 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 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 Page 7 of 18 To the Board of Directors Yorba Linda Water District Financing Authority Placentia, California Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 24, 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 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 the Authority’s 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. Brea, California October 24, 2023 3 Page 8 of 18 YORBA LINDA WATER DISTIRCT FINANCING AUTHORITY Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 This section of the Authority's annual financial report presents our analysis of the Authority's financial performance during the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2023. Please read it in conjunction with the financial statements, which follow this section. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS The Authority's net position did not change, as the revenue and interest earned on the money market equaled the expenditures and interest expense on the bonds payable. OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the Yorba Linda Water District Financing Authority's basic financial statements. The Authority's basic financial statements consist of two components: (I) financial statements and (2) notes to the financial statements. The Authority is a self-supporting entity and follows the enterprise fund reporting. Accordingly, the financial statements are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE AUTHORITY Our analysis of the Authority begins on page 6 of the financial statements. The goal of the Authority is to have the installment contract and interest income receivables remain equal to the amount of outstanding debt in order that its proceeds are available to pay the debt. Thus, net position of the Authority (the difference between the interest income received and the unpaid debt) should be zero. Since the Authority is a financing entity, all of the revenues and principal collected on the investment in Yorba Linda Water District’s Financing Authority's Revenue Bonds, Series 2017A and Series 2022A are used to pay the interest and principal on the Bonds resulting in no change in net position. NET POSITION To begin our analysis a summary of the Authority's Statement of Net Position as June 30, 2023 is as follows: REVENUES, EXPENSES AND CHANGES IN NET POSITION The interest income of $2,543,289 and $1,185,857 was used to pay the interest expense on the bonds as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

Organization The Yorba Linda Water District Financing Authority (the Authority) was organized pursuant to a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (the JPA Agreement) between the Yorba Linda Water District (the District) and California Municipal Finance Authority, dated April 11, 2017. The Authority is statutorily authorized by Article 4 of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the California Government Code and is empowered under the JPA Agreement to issue its bonds for, among other things, the purposes of the plan of financing described herein. The Authority is an integral part of the reporting entity of the District. The financial activity of the Authority has been included within the scope of the basic financial statements of the District because the board of directors of the District is the governing board over the operations of the Authority. Only the financial activity of the Authority is included herein; therefore, these financial statements do not purport to represent the financial position or results of operations of the District. B. Basic Financial Statements The basic financial statements are composed of the statement of net position, the statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position, the statement of cash flows, and the notes to the basic financial statements. C. Basis of Presentation The accounts of the Authority are that of an enterprise fund. An enterprise fund is a proprietary type fund used to account for operations (a) that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises where the intent of the governing body is that the costs (expenses) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges; or (b) where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes. D. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting Measurement focus is a term used to describe which transactions are recorded within the financial statements. Basis of accounting refers to when transactions are recorded regardless of the measurement focus applied. The accompanying financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the economic measurement focus, all assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associated with these activities are included on the statement of net position. The statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position presents increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. E. Cash and Investments The Authority considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. F. Investments Investments are stated at fair value, which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. 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. G. Use of Estimates The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and, accordingly, include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Accordingly, actual results could differ from the estimates. 9 Page 14 of 18 YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT FINANCING AUTHORITY Notes to Financial Statements Year Ended June 30, 2023   NOTE 2: INSTALLMENT CONTRACT RECEIVABLE In May 2017, the Authority issued $29,335,000 of Revenue Bonds, Series 2017A (the 2017A Revenue Bonds) (see Note 3) and loaned the proceeds to the District pursuant to an Installment Purchase Agreement dated May 1, 2017.

Report on 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) 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 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 or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. Report on 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 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.

This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Authority’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. Brea, California October 24, 2023 13 Page 18 of 18
