INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT Board of Trustees National Multiple Sclerosis Society Greater Delaware Valley Chapter Philadelphia, Pennsylvania We have audited the accompanying financial statements of National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Greater Delaware Valley Chapter (a nonprofit organization) which comprise the statements of financial position as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to the financial statements. 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. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Greater Delaware Valley Chapter as of, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) ORGANIZATION National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Greater Delaware Valley Chapter (the "Chapter") is a Pennsylvania nonprofit corporation organized for the purpose of stimulating, coordinating, and supporting the research program of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (the "Society"); obtaining and disseminating in the Greater Delaware Valley information about the causes, prevention, alleviation, and cure of multiple sclerosis and other diseases of the nervous system; and providing direct assistance, counseling, therapy, equipment, transportation, and information to patients within the Greater Delaware Valley. (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Accounting The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and, accordingly, reflect all significant receivables, payables and other liabilities. Financial Statement Presentation The Chapter reports information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets as follows: Unrestricted net assets Net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed restrictions and, therefore, are fully available at the discretion of management and the Board of Trustees for the Chapter to utilize in any of its program or supporting services. Temporarily restricted net assets Net assets that are subject to donor-imposed restrictions that will be satisfied by actions of the Chapter and/or the passage of time. When a restriction is satisfied, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statements of activities as net assets released from restrictions. Permanently restricted net assets Net assets that are subject to donor-imposed restrictions that such assets be maintained in perpetuity but permit the Chapter to expend all or a portion of the income derived from the donated assets. Accounting Estimates In preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value Measurements of Assets and Liabilities GAAP defines fair value as 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. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Chapter. Unobservable inputs reflect the Chapter's assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows: -8-
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Level 1 Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Chapter has the ability to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these assets and liabilities does not require a significant degree of judgment. Level 2 Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable, that is, inputs that reflect the Chapter's own assumptions. The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Chapter believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Chapter considers highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Investments Investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt securities are reported at fair value with gains and losses included in the statements of activities. Donated securities are recorded as contributions at their fair value at date of receipt. Dividend and interest income is recorded as earned. The Chapter invests in a professionally-managed portfolio that contains various types of securities. Such investments are exposed to market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with such investments, and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of such investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the near term would materially affect investment balances and the amounts reported in the financial statements. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Donated property and equipment are recorded as contributions at fair value as of the date of receipt. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets. The Chapter capitalizes all property and equipment with a cost in excess of $500. Beneficial Interest in Perpetual Trust The beneficial interest in perpetual trust is reported at fair market value and is equal to the Chapter's share of the assets in the trust. Special Event Revenue and Expenses Special event revenue and expenses are recognized during the period in which the related event occurs. Accordingly, revenue received in advance for special events that are held subsequent to year-end is deferred and expenses paid in advance for special events that are held subsequent to year end are included in prepaid expenses. During 2014 and 2013, the Chapter received approximately 76% and 71% of its total public support and revenue in connection with two special events. -9-
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Contributions Contributions received are recorded as unrestricted, temporarily restricted or permanently restricted net assets depending on the absence or existence and nature of any donor restrictions. Donor-restricted contributions whose restrictions are satisfied in the same period are reported as unrestricted support. Unconditional contributions are recognized as revenue when the related promise to give is received. Conditional contributions are recognized as revenue when the conditions are satisfied. Contributions and other receivables consist primarily of public support for special events held before year end and are recorded at their net realizable value. Donated Services and Materials The Chapter recognizes revenue for donated services received when they require specialized skills which would need to be purchased if they were not donated. Donated services are recorded as both revenue and expenses in the accompanying statements of activities and functional expenses at their estimated value at the date of receipt. The Chapter also receives a significant amount of donated time from a substantial number of volunteers without compensation for its various program and supporting services. The financial statements do not reflect the value of these contributed services since they do not meet the criteria for recognition. The Chapter receives donated materials, consisting primarily of food and beverages, in connection with its special events. The donated materials are recorded as both public support and expenses in the accompanying statements of activities and functional expenses at their estimated value on the date of receipt. The Chapter received donated materials of $636,735 in 2014 and $296,708 in 2013. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $402,382 for 2014 and $135,121 for 2013, including $318,693 and $27,500, respectively, in donated advertising and public service announcements. Functional Allocation of Expenses The costs of providing the program and supporting services have been presented on a functional basis in the statements of activities and functional expenses. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the program and supporting services benefited. Income Tax Status The Chapter qualifies as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and no liability or provision for federal income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Chapter and concluded that, as of September 30, 2014, there were no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken. Accordingly, no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Chapter is subject to audits by various taxing jurisdictions; however, no audit for any tax period is currently in progress. Management believes that the Chapter is no longer subject to such audits for years ended on or prior to September 30, 2010. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments which potentially subject the Chapter to concentration of credit risk are cash and contributions and other receivables. The Chapter maintains its cash in accounts at various banks and financial institutions. At times, these accounts may exceed federally-insured limits. The Chapter has not experienced any losses in its cash accounts and the Chapter believes that it is not exposed to significant credit risk. Contributions and other receivables at September 30, 2014 are expected to be collected in 2015. -10-

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (6) LEASES The Chapter leases its office facility in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania under a non-cancelable lease agreement that expires December 2021. The provisions of the lease (a) allow the Chapter to extend the term of the lease for one additional five-year term, (b) require the Chapter to pay for its share of operating expenses in addition to the base rent, and (c) include scheduled rent increases which are being recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term. As a result, the rent expense exceeded the amount paid by $172,005 at September 30, 2014 and $170,320 at September 30, 2013 and this excess is reported as "deferred rent" in the accompanying statements of financial position. The Chapter also leases warehouse space under a non-cancelable lease that expires August 2015. Rent expense for the office and warehouse facilities, inclusive of operating expenses, was $352,737 for 2014 and $333,471 for 2013. The Chapter also entered into two non-cancelable leases for office equipment that expire April 2016 and September 2017, respectively. Rent expense for this equipment was $53,280 for both 2014 and 2013. The minimum annual lease commitments under all non-cancelable leases with initial or remaining terms in excess of one year are as follows: Year ending September 30, 2015 $ 387,404 2016 347,253 2017 334,157 2018 327,674 2019 333,827 Thereafter 773,802 $ 2,504,117 (7) TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS Temporarily restricted net assets at are available for the following purposes: 2014 Balance Additions Balance September 30, 2013 (Reductions) Released September 30, 2014 Purpose Restrictions Wellness Program $ 23,375 $ - $ - $ 23,375 Homeable Program - 5,000-5,000 Time Restrictions Contributions receivable 11,108 20,405 (11,108) 20,405 Charitable gift annuities held by Home Office 100,193 11,540-111,733 Endowment appreciation - 26,765-26,765 $134,676 $ 63,710 $ (11,108) $187,278-12-

The Chapter has adopted investment and spending policies for its endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of these endowment assets over the longterm. The investment policy establishes an achievable return objective through diversification of asset classes within prudent risk parameters. As permitted by Pennsylvania statutes, the Chapter has adopted Pennsylvania Act 141 relative to its endowment pursuant to which investment income is defined as a percentage of the three-year average of the fair value of the endowment. According to state law, the percentage must be between 2% and 7%. The percentage determined by the Board of Trustees was 7% for both 2014 and 2013 and the resulting amount of unrestricted investment income was $ 22,601 for 2014 and $21,593 for 2013. The changes in the endowment net assets for the years ended were as follows: Temporarily Permanently Restricted Restricted Total Endowment net assets, September 30, 2012 $ - $322,074 $ 322,074 Investment income - 74,259 74,259 Withdrawals - (21,593) (21,593) Endowment net assets, September 30, 2013-374,740 374,740 Investment income 26,765 22,601 49,366 Withdrawals - (22,601) (22,601) Endowment net assets, September 30, 2014 $ 26,765 $374,740 $ 401,505-13-
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (9) TRANSACTIONS WITH NATIONAL MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS SOCIETY The National Multiple Sclerosis Society (the "Society") calculates the National Programs Expense, which funds research and other Society activities, for each Chapter in advance of the fiscal year after a complete review by the Budget Review Committee and national Board. The Chapter's National Programs Expense is calculated using the average of the previous two years' audited results as the revenue base. The remittance percentage is subject to adjustment each year to ensure that the Society meets its programmatic goals and that all donor restrictions are honored. The Chapter's National Programs Expense under this policy was calculated to be $3,906,498 for 2014 and $3,828,708 for 2013. By setting the Chapter's National Programs Expense in advance, the Chapters and the Society are in a better position to control resources through their respective budgeting and planning processes. Beginning in 2013, the National Programs Expense includes costs for services previously incurred by the Chapter, but which have now been centralized. In addition, the Chapter also made a strategic decision to make a discretionary investment in certain specific research projects approved by the Society. The Chapter's remittances to the Society in connection with these activities were $1,000,000 for 2014 and $601,309 for 2013. The Chapter participates in the Home Office's gift annuity program. The Chapter is the beneficiary in a number of split-interest agreements with donors, whereby the Society controls and invests the donated assets and shares with the donor or the donor's designee income generated from these assets until such time as stated in the agreement (usually upon the death of the donor or the donor's designee). The amounts due to the Chapter from the Society were $111,733 at September 30, 2014 and $100,193 at September 30, 2013.
