To the Audit Committee
San Diego Tourism Authority
San Diego, California
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of San Diego Tourism Authority (the “Organization”), which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2022, and the related statements of activities, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Organization as of June 30, 2022, and the changes in its net assets 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”). 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 Organization 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 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 Organization’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.
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 opinion. 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 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, 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 audits 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 Organization’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 Organization’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.
Report on Summarized Comparative Information
We have previously audited the Organization’s 2021 financial statements, and we expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those audited financial statements in our report dated October 5, 2021. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.
Report on Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The Schedule of Budget and Actual Expenditures of San Diego Tourism Marketing District Funds and Schedule of Budget and Actual Expenditures – Indirect Costs are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information, excluding the budget amounts, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole. San Diego, California

1. Nature of Organization and Significant Accounting Policies Nature of
organization
The San Diego Tourism Authority (“SDTA”), formerly the San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau, was incorporated in California in October 1954 as the San Diego Convention & Tourist Bureau, a not-for-profit mutual benefit corporation. SDTA is a community organization with the goal of developing, promoting, and maintaining the convention and visitor industry in the San Diego region. SDTA also has an office in Chicago, Illinois and employs regionally based sales professionals to promote San Diego tourism nationally. Summary of
significant
accounting
policies
A summary of the SDTA’s significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows. Liquidity and
availability of
financial assets
SDTA is substantially supported by revenue received from a Services Agreement with the San Diego Tourism Marketing District (“SDTMD”) as described in Note 7. Under the Agreement, SDTA is reimbursed for valid Agreement program expenditures upon submission of required documentation, including proof of payment. SDTMD reimburses SDTA within 30 days of submission of a reimbursement request. SDTMD advanced $2.0 million to SDTA to ensure adequate funding to timely execute programs given the Agreement’s reimbursement process. The Agreement also provides for invoice payments to be issued directly from SDTMD to SDTA vendors, upon request from SDTA, for significant expenditures that may not be accommodated by the advance. SDTA can also draw upon $350,000 from the available revolving line of credit as described in Note 4.
The following represents the financial assets for the year ended: June 30, 2022

Basis of
accounting
The financial statements of SDTA have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Financial
statement
presentation
SDTA’s financial statement presentation is in accordance with authoritative guidance for not-for-profit organizations. SDTA reports information regarding its financial position and activities according to two classes of net assets: net assets with donor restrictions and net assets without donor restrictions. San Diego Tourism Authority
Notes to Financial Statements

Financial
statement
presentation,
cont’d
Net assets without donor restrictions represent expendable funds available for operations which are not otherwise limited by donor restrictions. Net assets with donor restrictions consist of contributed funds, subject to specific donor-imposed restrictions, contingent upon a specific performance of a future event or a specific passage of time before SDTA may spend the funds and of irrevocable donor restrictions, requiring the assets be maintained in perpetuity. SDTA does not have net assets with donor restrictions. The financial statements include certain prior-year summarized comparative information in total but not by net asset class. Such information does not include sufficient detail to constitute a presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with the organization's financial statements for the year ended June 30 of the prior year, from which the summarized information was derived. Use of
estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates used in preparing these financial statements include the functional allocation of expenses, allowance for doubtful accounts for uncollectible amounts and accrued pension costs.
Accounts
receivable
Accounts receivable arise primarily from contracts, membership dues, and advertising. Uncollectible accounts are charged to income when management determines the amounts are uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $8,836 at June 30, 2022 and 2021. It is the policy of management to review the outstanding accounts receivable at year end, as well as bad debt write-off experienced in the past, to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts for uncollectible amounts.
Property and
equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Acquisitions of property and equipment with a cost of $1,500 or more are capitalized. Provisions for depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are made on a straight- line basis over their estimated useful lives, principally three to ten years, or, in the case of leasehold improvements, over the lesser of the useful lives of the related assets or the lease term. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When equipment is sold or retired, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resultant gain or loss, if any, is credited or charged to operations.

Revenue
recognition
Membership dues and advertising contracts are recorded as income when earned. Amounts billed in advance are recorded as deferred income and recognized as income over the advertising contract period. Appropriations from government funding sources are recognized when earned in accordance with the contract. Revenue from SDTMD funding is recognized as services are performed and qualifying expenditures are incurred. Donated and
contributed
services
Donated and contributed services are not included in the accompanying financial statements, as they do not meet the requirements for recognition as contributions.
Advertising
expenses
SDTA expenses advertising costs ratably over the advertising contract period. Advertising expenses were $17,306,929 and $14,324,404 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Fair value
measurements
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance relating to fair value measurements and disclosure which establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requiring use of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about such fair value measurements. SDTA measures fair value at the price that would be received upon a sale of an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The guidance requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The valuation methodology SDTA uses to measure financial instruments at fair value utilize inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. SDTA attempts to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Refer to Note 6 for the fair value measurements of SDTA’s defined benefit plan and deferred compensation plan.

Income taxes SDTA is a tax exempt organization per the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701(e) of the Revenue and Taxation Code. Income determined to be unrelated business taxable income (“UBTI”) would be taxable. SDTA evaluates their uncertain tax positions, if any, on a continual basis through review of their policies and procedures, review of their regular tax filings, and discussions with outside experts. At June 30, 2022 and 2021, management believes SDTA did not have any uncertain tax positions.
At June 30, 2022, the federal statute of limitation remains open for the fiscal years 2019 through 2021. The statute of limitation for the state income tax returns remains open for the fiscal years 2019 through 2021. As of the date of this report, the fiscal year 2022 return has not been filed.

COVID-19 The World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic. The operations of SDTA have been significantly impacted with reductions in revenue from SDTMD. While the reductions in revenue is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration and extent of the impact on SDTMD and its financial condition. SDTA and SDTMD have agreed to approximately $38.5 million for sales and marketing activities for the 2023 fiscal year.
Grants Grants are recognized as without donor restrictions or with donor restrictions, depending on the stipulations of the grant agreements. When a grant restriction expires, stipulated time restrictions end or purpose restrictions expire, net assets with donor restrictions are reclassified to net assets without donor restrictions and reported in the statements of activities as net assets released from restrictions. Grants whose restrictions are met in the same reporting period are reported as net assets without donor restrictions. 2. Concentrations SDTA maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times exceed federally insured deposit limits. SDTA has not experienced any losses in these deposit accounts. Management believes that SDTA is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash.
All receivables are unsecured and, thus, subject to credit risk. See Note 7 for discussion of revenue concentrations. 3. Property and
Equipment
Property and equipment was comprised of the following at June 30: 2022 2021
Leasehold improvements $ 414,126 $ 414,126

4. Debt
Line of Credit
SDTA has a revolving line of credit with Bank of America for $350,000. Interest is payable monthly at a rate equal to the Bank’s prime rate plus 0.50%. The line of credit expires on April 30, 2023.
There were no drawdowns on the line of credit during the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Paycheck Protection Program loan
SDTA received Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans of $3,191,080 granted by the Small Business Administration under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). PPP loans are considered conditional contributions, with a right-of-return in the form of an obligation to be repaid if a barrier to entitlement is not met. The barrier is that PPP loan funds must be used to maintain compensation costs and employee headcount, and other qualifying expenses, such as mortgage interest, rent and utilities incurred following receipt of the funds.
SDTA recognized $1,258,362 and $1,932,718 as grant revenue for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as qualified expenses occurred or barriers to entitlement were met during each respective year. Forgiveness of the PPP loans were granted by the Small Business Administration to SDTA in December 2021 and June 2022. 5. Capital Leases
SDTA periodically enters into capital leases, which are reported as assets and lease obligations in the accompanying financial statements. Property and equipment under capital leases include computer and telecommunication equipment, which totaled $138,437 at June 30, 2022 and 2021. Depreciation expense related to these capitalized leases was $29,677 and
$48,028 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under capital leases together with the present value of the lease payments are as follows:
Year Ending June 30,
2023 $ 20,000
2024 7,871
Total minimum lease payments 27,871
Amount representing interest (1,073)
Present value of minimum lease payments 26,798
Less current portion (19,115)
Long-term portion $ 7,683
