INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT Board of Directors Pasadena Community Access Corporation Pasadena, California Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Pasadena Community Access Corporation (the Corporation), a component unit of the City of Pasadena, California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Corporations 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 Corporation, as of June 30, 2022, 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 (GAAS) 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 Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Corporation 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. Emphasis of Matters As discussed in Note 1D to the financial statements, effective July 1, 2021, the Corporation adopted new accounting guidance, Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 87, Leases. The guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-to-use assets and corresponding lease liability for all leases with lease terms greater than twelve months. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. As discussed in Note 13 to the financial statements, the Corporation restated the beginning net position to recognize previously recorded unearned PEG grant revenues. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen LLP) is an independent network member of CLA Global. SeeCLAglobal.com/disclaimer.

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. 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 Corporations 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. Auditors 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 auditors 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 dueto fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Suchprocedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosuresin the financial statements.Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing anopinion on the effectiveness of the Corporations internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion isexpressed.Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significantaccounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of thefinancial statements.Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate,that raise substantial doubt about the Corporations ability to continue as a going concern for areasonable 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.
Board of Directors Pasadena Community Access Corporation (3)
Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the managements discussion and analysis 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 managements 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. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 7, 2023, on our consideration of the Corporations 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 effectiveness of the Corporations 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 Corporations internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

PASADENA COMMUNITY ACCESS CORPORATION MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS JUNE 30, 2022 (5)
Our discussion and analysis of the Pasadena Community Access Corporations (a component unit of the City of Pasadena, California) (the Corporation) financial performance provides an overview of the Corporations financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Please read it in conjunction with the Corporations financial statements, which begin on page 7. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS The Corporations net position for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, was $878,677, anincrease of $121,883, or 16.11%, over the prior year.During the year, the Corporation had operating expenses that were $20,791 more than the$1,027,814 generated from the operating agreement, service contracts, and other operatingrevenues from the Corporations programs from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.Total operating cost of all the Corporations programs was $1,048,605. The programmaticactivities of the Corporation remained unchanged.USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT This annual report consists of a series of financial statements. The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position (on pages 9 and 10) provide information about the activities of the Corporation as a whole and present a long-term view of the Corporations finances. As the Corporation operates as a business-type activity, no additional fund statements are necessary. When the Corporation charges customers for the services it provideswhether to outside customers or to the City of Pasadena or other governmentsthese services are reported similarly to the way a business operates. A Statement of Cash Flows is also presented using the direct method, which portrays inflows and outflows for specific classes of operations along with an indirect reconciliation of increases to net cash provided by operations. Reporting the Corporations Results as a Whole Our analysis of the Corporation as a whole begins on page 4. One of the most important questions asked about the Corporations finances is, Is the Corporation as a whole better off or worse off as a result of this years activities? The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position report information about the Corporation as a whole and about its activities in a way that helps answer this question. These statements include all assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most private-sector companies. All of the current years revenues and expenses are taken into account regardless of when cash is received or paid.

These two statements report the Corporations net position and changes in them. You can think of the Corporations net positionthe difference between assets and liabilitiesas one way to measure the Corporations financial health, or financial position. Over time, increases or decreases in the Corporations net position are one indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating. You will need to consider other nonfinancial factors, however, such as changes in the Corporations long-term contractual revenues and the condition of the Corporations equipment and other assets, to assess the overall health of the Corporation. THE CORPORATION AS A WHOLE The Corporations net position increased from a year ago, from $756,794 to $878,677. Our analysis below focuses on the net position (Table 1) and changes in net position (Table 2) of the Corporations activities.

Unrestricted Net PositionThe part of net position that can be used to finance day-to-day operations without constraints established by debts, contribution restrictions, or other legal requirementschanged from $293,727 at June 30, 2021, to $321,452 at end of the fiscal year. This nominal increase is a result of the Corporations normal operation. The Corporation generally can use this unrestricted net position to finance continuing operations in the coming fiscal year.

For comparison purposes, the June 30, 2021, column data in Table 2 has been adjusted for the restatement described in Note 13 to the financial statements. Although the Corporations total cost of programs and services had a net decrease of 0.6% ($6,592), a closer look shows that operating expenses increased 3.3% ($33,879), while PEG expenses decreased from $41,066 to $0. The Corporations revenues had a net decrease of 3.3% ($40,065), resulting from a combination of increased operating revenues and decreased PEG revenue received from the City of Pasadena in nonoperating revenue. Budgetary Highlights Over the course of the year, the board of directors reviewed the budget during meetings. There were no budget reforecasts submitted for approval. The Corporations adopted operating budget was $1,077,700 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Actual operating revenues were $49,886 less than budget, and operating expenses were $29,095 less than budget.

CAPITAL ASSETS At the end of 2022, the Corporation had $280,093 invested in capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. (See Table 3 below.) This amount represents a net increase of $148,680 or 113% higher than last year that resulted from the addition of a right-to-use leased building as part of the adoption of the new accounting standard discussed in Note 1D to the financial statements.

The outstanding balance of this lease payable was $197,742 and $361,848 as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. More detailed information about the Corporations long-term liabilities is presented in Note 5 to the financial statements. ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEARS BUDGETS AND RATES The Corporations board of directors considered many factors when setting the fiscal year 2023 budget. The most significant budget expense increase is in personnel cost-of-living adjustments. Other increases include occupancy costs with the rent escalator built into the lease, as well as growing services costs mainly in audit and accounting fees.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. Reporting Entity The Pasadena Community Access Corporation (the Corporation) was organized in 1983 as a nonprofit, telecommunications resource for the City of Pasadena, California (the City). The Corporation was organized to perform the community access function of the Pasadena telecommunications system pursuant to the Cable Communications Ordinance of the City. In 2011, the City Council determined that the Corporation should be reported as a discretely presented component unit of the City in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The board of directors consists of 11 members with representatives from each of the seven City Council Districts, the Mayor, the City Manager, Pasadena Community College (PCC), and Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD). Residency is required except for the City Manager, PCC, and PUSD representatives. These operations constitute part of the overall financial reporting entity of the City and are accounted for as a discretely presented component unit in the Citys Annual Comprehensive Financial Report consistent with U.S. GAAP. Revenues and expenses of the Corporation include direct revenues and expenses and certain allocations from the City. B. Basis of Presentation The Corporations basic financial statements are presented in conformance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, which established standards for external financial reporting for all state and local governmental entities. The basic financial statements include the statement of net position, statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position, and statement of cash flows. C. Basis of Accounting The Corporation is accounted for as an enterprise fund (proprietary fund type). 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. The activities of enterprise funds closely resemble those of ongoing businesses in which the purpose is to conserve and add to basic resources while meeting operating expenses from current revenues. Enterprise funds account for operations that provide services on a continuous basis and are substantially financed by revenues derived from user charges. The Corporation utilizes the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized as they are incurred. D. Adoption of New Accounting Standard The Corporation adopted GASB Statement No. 87, Leases. This standard requires the recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that previously were classified as operating leases and as inflows or outflows of resources recognized based on the payment provisions of the contract. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. Under this standard, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use lease asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources. The Corporation adopted the requirements of the guidance effective July 1, 2021, and has applied the provisions of this standard to the beginning of the period.
PASADENA COMMUNITY ACCESS CORPORATION NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2022 (13)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) E. Classification of Revenues and ExpensesThe Corporation classifies its revenues and expenses into the following classifications:operating revenues, operating expenses, nonoperating revenues, and nonoperatingexpenses. Operating revenues consist of management and operating fees, productionservices fees, and program services fees, with relating costs to provide these servicesconsidered operating expenses. Nonoperating revenues consist of voluntarynonexchange grants revenue and investment earnings. Nonoperating expenses consistof capital grants made to PCC and PUSD for cable telecommunications equipment.F. Cash and Cash EquivalentsFor the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents are defined asshort-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amountsof cash or so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in valuebecause of changes in interest rates and have an original maturity date of three monthsor less.G. Prepaid AssetsCertain payments to vendors, which reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods,are recorded as prepaid assets.H. Capital AssetsThe Corporation capitalizes assets having an estimated useful life in excess of one yearand acquisition cost of at least $5,000. Capital assets are recorded either at acquisitioncost or initial lease liability amount (for right-to-use leased assets) and are depreciatedor amortized (for right-to-use leased assets) over the estimated useful life of the assetusing the straight-line method of depreciation/ amortization. Donated capital assets arerecorded at acquisition value as of the date of the donation. All significant expendituresexceeding $5,000 for repairs, renewals, and betterments that materially prolong theuseful lives of the assets or remeasurements of lease liability (for right-to-use leasedassets) are capitalized.The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:Leasehold Improvements 6 Years Furniture and Fixtures 5 Years Production Equipment 5 Years Right-to-Use Leased Building 3 Years I. Compensated AbsencesRegular full-time and part-time employees accrue vacation. Vacation time is accrued twoto four weeks per year, depending on how long an employee has been with theCorporation. Part-time employees who work 20 hours per week or more are eligible toaccrue vacation on a pro rata basis. It is the Corporations policy to permit employees toaccumulate earned but unused vacation benefits from year-to-year up to a maximum oftwo times a full-time employees annual vacation amount. All accumulated compensatedabsences are recorded as an expense and a liability at the time the benefit is earned.
PASADENA COMMUNITY ACCESS CORPORATION NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2022 (14)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) J. Lease The Corporation is a lessee for a noncancellable lease of office and production facilities. The Corporation recognizes a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use asset (lease asset) in the statement of net position. At the commencement of a lease, the Corporation initially measures the lease liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease liability is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments made. The lease asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date. Subsequently, the lease asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset. The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure the lease asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease liability. K. Net Position Net position represents the difference between assets and liabilities on the statement of net position. Net positions were classified in the following categories: net investment in capital assets and unrestricted. Net investment in capital assets consists of the cost of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowings used for the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets, as applicable. Net position is reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on the use either through the enabling legislation adopted by the Corporations board of directors, or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, or laws or regulations of other governments. All other net position is reported as unrestricted. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Corporations policy to use unrestricted resources first, and then restricted resources as they are needed. L. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 CASH AND INVESTMENTS Summary of Cash As of June 30, 2022, cash were reported in the accompanying financial statements: Cash on Hand 200$ Deposits with Financial Institutions 360,783 Deposits with Financial Institutions - Restricted 474,874 Total Cash 835,857$ Deposits At June 30, 2022, the carrying amount of the Corporations deposits was $835,657 and the bank balance was $836,259. The $602 difference represents outstanding checks and other reconciling items. Balances in the bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. Included in the bank balance, the Corporation had a funds in a credit union totaling $123,930. This amount is insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) up to $250,000. Restricted Deposits Restricted deposits, as further described in Notes 6C and 7, are to be utilized for eligible PEG capital expenditures. The total amount of restricted deposits at June 30, 2022 was $474,874. Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code does not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The fair value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure the Corporations deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits. At June 30, 2022, the Corporation had uncollateralized deposits in excess of FDIC coverage of $462,329.

Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the Corporation manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations. The Corporation held no investments as of the year ended June 30, 2022.
PASADENA COMMUNITY ACCESS CORPORATION NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2022 (17)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH Board of Directors Pasadena Community Access Corporation Pasadena, 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 Pasadena Community Access Corporation (the Corporation), a component unit of the City of Pasadena, California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022 and the related notes to the basic financial statements, which collectively comprise the Corporations basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated March 7, 2023 Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Corporations 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 opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporations internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporations 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 Corporations 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 and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. We identified a certain deficiency in internal control, described in the accompanying schedule of findings and responses as item 2022-001, that we consider to be a material weakness.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Corporations 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. Corporations Response to the Finding Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the Corporations response to the finding identified in our audit and described in the accompanying schedule of findings and responses. The Corporations response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response. 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 Corporations internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Corporations internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
CliftonLarsonAllen LLP Irvine, California March 7, 2023 PASADENA COMMUNITY ACCESS CORPORATION SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND RESPONSES JUNE 30, 2022 (23)
2022-001 PEG Grant Funding Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting Condition: Upon receipt of PEG grant funding from the City of Pasadena, the Corporation had been recording the amounts as unearned revenue and would recognize the revenue as eligible capital-related costs were incurred. Criteria or specific requirement: In accordance with accounting guidance for nonexchange transactions pursuant to GASB Statement No. 33, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Transactions, the receipt of this revenue source is considered to be a voluntary nonexchange transaction, and as such, should have been recognized as revenue since all eligibility requirements were met. The purpose restriction that the PEG grant funding be used for capital-related costs only affects the classification of net position; not the revenue recognition. Effect: Beginning net position was restated for amounts received in prior years of $331,654 that should have been reported as revenue. Additionally, the current year funding received of $143,220 was adjusted to be properly reported as revenue. Cause: The Corporations revenue recognition of PEG grant funding was based on the form of the agreement with the City rather than the underlying substance of the transactions. Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend that the Corporation update their controls over cash receipts to ensure that PEG grant funding is properly recorded as revenue upon receipt. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: We are in concurrence with the finding and will implement the auditors recommendation. ~
