DEBT SERVICE SCHEDULE

The City of West Covina, Community Development Commission Agency, and Public Financing Authority (PFA) have issued debt instruments to finance capital projects and equipment. The three governmental units, although related, are distinct legal entities.

The City and Community Development Commission Agency have tax-based revenue from which to repay debt. The PFA has no ability to generate revenues, other than through charges for the use of money and property. Accordingly, projects funded through the PFA are secured by the issuer's leases or notes receivable from the City, Community Development Commission Agency and project developers. Debt between related governments has not been budgeted, as doing so would result in double-counting the debt and related revenues.

Following is a summary of the debt issued and outstanding by the issuing agency:

I. Debt Issued by the City of West Covina

Leases Payable: The City is leasing computers, software, vehicles, portable classrooms and copiers under capitalized leases. The equipment acquired secures lease payments. The City is obligated for the following debt service payments under capitalized leases:
