SuPLEE, CLoONEY & CoMPANY CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS 308 East Broad Street, Westfield, New Jersey 07090-2122 Telephone 908-789-9300 Fax 908-789-8535 E-mail info@scnco.com INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT The Honorable President and Members of the Somerset County Park Commission County of Somerset, New Jersey 08876 Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying balance sheets - regulatory basis of the various individual funds and account group of the Somerset County Park Commission, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the related statement of operations and changes in fund balance - regulatory basis for the years then ended, and the related statement of revenues - regulatory basis and statement of expenditures - regulatory basis of the various individual funds for the year ended December 31, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Park Commission's regulatory financial statements as listed in the table of contents. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the regulatory basis of accounting prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an op1n1on on these regulatory financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the audit requirements prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey (the 'Divisiori), and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 1

SuPLEE, CLOONEY & CoMPANY An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the regulatory 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 regulatory financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. As described in Note 1 of the regulatory financial statements, the regulatory financial statements are prepared by the Somerset County Park Commission on the basis of the financial reporting provisions prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, to meet the requirements of New Jersey. The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the regulatory basis of accounting described in Note 1 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material. Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the "Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the various individual funds and account group of the Somerset County Park Commission as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, or the results of its operations and changes in fund balance for the years then ended of the revenues or expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2013. Opinion on Regulatory Basis of Accounting In our opinion, the regulatory financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the regulatory basis balances sheets of the various individual funds and account group as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the regulatory basis statement of operations and changes in fund balance for the years then ended and the regulatory basis statement of revenues and expenditures and changes in fund balance for the year ended December 31, 2013 in accordance with the basis of financial reporting prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey as described in Note 1. 2

SuPLEE, CLOONEY & CoMPANY Other Matters Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Somerset County Park Commission's regulatory financial statements. The supplementary information and data and schedules of federal awards and state financial assistance listed in the table of contents as required by the Division of local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the regulatory financial statements. The supplemental information and schedules listed above and also listed in the table of contents are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the regulatory financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the regulatory financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the regulatory financial statements or to the regulatory financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the supplemental information and data listed in the table of contents, schedules of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the regulatory financial statements as a whole. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated July 31, 2014 on our consideration of the Somerset County Park Commission'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 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 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 Somerset County Park Commission's internal control over financial reporting and compliance. ~~eft=~ / ~t; July 31, 2014 3

Our report disclosed that, as described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Somerset County Park Commission prepares its financial statements on a basis of accounting prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services, D.apartment of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey, that demonstrates compliance with a modified accrual basis and the budget laws of the State of New Jersey, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the regulatory financial statements, we considered the Park Commission's control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the 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 Park Commission's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Park Commission's internal control. 4

SuPLEE, CLoONEY & CoMPANY 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 may exist that have not been identified. Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Park Commission'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 determination of financial statement amounts. 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. Purpose of This Report The purpose of this r~port 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 entity's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. July 31, 2014 REGISTERED MUNICIPAL 5

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SOMERSET COUNTY PARK COMMISSION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012 NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. Reporting Entity The Somerset County Park Commission was created in 1956 for the purpose of providing specialized park areas and facilities of regional to financial accountability. Commissioners are appointed by the Board of Chosen Freeholders of Somerset County, New Jersey. B. Description of Funds The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. GASB codification establishes the presentation of basic financial statements into three fund types, the governmental, proprietary and fiduciary funds, as well as government-wide financial reporting that must be used by general purpose governmental units when reporting financial position and results of operations in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The accounting policies of the Somerset County Park Commission conform to the accounting principles applicable to municipalities which have been prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services. Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey. Such principles and practices are designed primarily for determining compliance with legal provisions and budgetary restrictions and as a means of reporting on the stewardship of public officials with respect to public funds. Under this method of accounting, the financial transactions and accounts of the Somerset County Park Commission are organized on the basis of funds and an account group which is different from the fund structure required by GAAP. A fund or account group is an accounting entity with a separate set of self-balancing accounts established to record the financial position and results of operation of a specific government activity. As required by the Division of Local Government Services the Commission accounts for its financial transactions through the following individual funds and account groups: 6

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES (CONTINUED) B. Description of Funds (Continued) Current Fund - resources and expenditures for governmental operations of a general nature, including federal and state grant funds. Trust Fund - receipts, custodianship and disbursement of funds in accordance with the purpose for which each reserve was created. General Capital Fund - receipts and disbursements of funds for the acquisition of general capital facilities, other than those acquired in the Current Fund. General Fixed Assets Account Group - utilized to account for property, land, buildings, construction in progress and equipment that has been acquired by other governmental funds. C. Basis of Accounting The accounting principles and practices prescribed for counties by the State of New Jersey differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles applicable to local governmental units. The more significant accounting policies and differences in the State of New Jersey are as follows: A modified accrual basis of accounting is followed with minor exceptions. Revenues - are recorded when received in cash except for certain amounts which are due from other governmental units. Grants are realized as revenue when anticipated in the Commission's budget. Other amounts that are due the Commission, which are susceptible to accrual, are also recorded as receivables with offsetting reserves and recorded as revenue when received. GAAP requires revenues to be recognized in the accounting period when they become susceptible to accrual, reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. 7

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) C. Basis of Accounting (Continued) Expenditures - Are recorded on the "budgetary" basis of accounting. Generally expenditures are recorded when an amount is encumbered for goods or services through the issuance of a purchase order in conjunction with the Encumbrance Accounting System. Outstanding encumbrances at December 31, are reported as a cash liability in the financial statements and constitute part of the Commission's statutory Appropriation reserve balance. Appropriation reserves covering unexpended appropriation balances are automatically created at December 31st of each year and recorded as liabilities, except for amounts which may be canceled by the governing body. Appropriation reserves are available, until lapsed at the close of the succeeding year, to meet specific claims, commitments or contracts incurred during the preceding fiscal year. Lapsed appropriation reserves are recorded as income. Appropriations for principal payments on outstanding general capital bonds and notes are provided on the cash basis; interest on general capital indebtedness is on the cash basis. Encumbrances - Contractual orders at December 31 are reported as expenditures through the establishment of encumbrances payable. Under GAAP, encumbrances outstanding at year end are reported as reservations of fund balance because they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. lnterfunds - lnterfunds receivables in the Current Fund are recorded with offsetting reserves which are created by charges to operations. Income is recognized in the year the receivables are liquidated. lnterfund receivables in the other funds are not offset by reserves. GAAP does not require the establishment of an offsetting reserve. General Fixed Assets - N.J.A.C. 5:30-5.6, Accounting for Governmental Fixed Assets, as promulgated by the Division of Local Government Services, which differs in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles, requires the inclusion of a statement of general fixed assets of the Commission as part of its basic financial statements. General fixed assets are defined as non-expendable personal property having a physical existence, a useful life of more than one year and an acquisition cost of 2,500.00 or more per unit. Public domain ("infrastructure") general fixed assets consisting of certain improvements other than buildings, such as roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks and drainage systems are not capitalized. No depreciation has been provided on general fixed assets or reported in the financial statements. 8

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) C. Basis of Accounting (Continued) General Fixed Assets (Continued) The County Park Commission has developed a fixed assets accounting and reporting system based on an inspection and valuation prepared by the County. Fixed assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available except for donated fixed assets which are valued at estimated market value at the time of donation. Land values related to the Park Commission have been included within the buildings classification of the general fixed assets because the original purchase price for Park Commission properties did not allocate the costs between land and buildings. General Fixed Assets that have been acquired and are utilized in a governmental fund operation are accounted for in the General Fixed Asset Account Group rather than in a governmental fund. Fixed assets acquired through grants in aid or contributed capital have not been accounted for separately. Inventories of Supplies - The cost of supplies are recorded as expenditures at the time the individual items are purchased. The cost of inventories for revenue producing activities is included at cost on the balance sheet and equally offset by a fund balance reserve. D. Basic Financial Statements The GASB codification also defines the financial statements of a governmental unit to be presented in the general purpose financial statements to be in accordance with GAAP. The Commission presents the financial statements in accordance with the "Requirements of Audit and Accounting Revision of 1987" as prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey and which differ from the financial statements required by GAAP. 9

NOTE 2: CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Commission considers petty cash, change funds, cash in banks, deposits in the New Jersey Cash Management Fund and certificates of deposit as cash and cash equivalents. A Deposits New Jersey statutes permit the deposit of public funds in institutions which are located in New Jersey and which meet the requirements of the Government Unit Deposit Protection Act (GUDPA) or the State of New Jersey Cash Management Fund. GUDPA requires a bank that accepts public funds to be a public depository. A public depository is defined as a state bank, a national bank, or a savings bank, which is located in the State of New Jersey, the deposits of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The statutes also require public depositories to maintain collateral for deposits of public funds that exceed certain insurance limits. All collateral must be deposited with the Federal Reserve Bank or a banking institution that is a member of the Federal Reserve System and has capital funds of not less than 25,000,000.00. The Somerset County Park Commission had the following cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2013: Change Fund/Petty Cashin Reconciled Cash Bank Deletions Balance Current Fund 10,450.00 1,587,443.14 44,610.08 1,542,833.06 Grant Fund 7,582,206.59 7,582,206.59 Trust Other Fund 863,960.26 863,960.26 General Capital Fund 3,258,920.45 3,258,920.45 10,450.00 13,292,530.44 44,610.08 13,247,920.36 Custodial Credit Risk - Deposits - Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the deposits may not be returned. The Commission does not have a specific deposit policy for custodial credit risk other than those policies that adhere to the requirements of statute. As of December 31, 2013, based upon the coverage provided by FDIC and NJ GUDPA, no amount of the bank balance was exposed to custodial credit risk. Of the cash balance in the bank, 250,000.00 was covered by Federal Depository Insurance and 13,042,530.44 was covered by NJ GUDPA. 10

NOTE 2: CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS (CONTINUED) B. Investments The purchase of investments by the Commission are strictly limited by the express authority of the New Jersey Local Fiscal Affairs Law, N.J.S.A. 40A:5-15.1. Permitted investments include any of the following type of securities: 1. Bonds or other obligations of the United States of America or obligations guaranteed by the United States of America; 2. Government money market mutual funds which are purchased from an investment company or investment trust which is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the "Investment Company Act of 1940," 15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq., and operated in accordance with 17 C.F.R. 270.2a-7 and which portfolio is limited to U.S. Government securities that meet the definition of an eligible security pursuant to 17 C.F.R. 270.2a-7 and repurchase agreements that are collateralized by such U.S. Government securities in which direct investment may be made pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (3) of N.J.S.A. 5-15.1. These funds are also required to be rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. 3. Any obligation that a federal agency or a federal instrumentality has issued in accordance with an act of Congress, which security has a maturity date not greater than 397 days from the date of purchase, provided that such obligation bears a fixed rate of interest not dependent on any index or other external factor; 4. Bonds or other obligations of the Local Unit or bonds or other obligations of school districts of which the Local Unit is a part or within which the school district is located. 5. Bonds or other obligations, having a maturity date not more than 397 days from date of purchase, approved by the Division of Investment of the Department of Treasury for investment by Local Units; 6. Local government investment pools that are fully invested in U.S. Government securities that meet the definition of eligible security pursuant to 17 C. F. R. 270a-7 and repurchase agreements that are collateralized by such U.S. Government securities in which direct investment may be made pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (3) of N.J.S.A. 5-15.1. This type of investment is also required to be rated in the highest category by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. 11

NOTE 2: CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS (CONTINUED) B. Investments 7. Deposits with the State of New Jersey Cash Management Fund established pursuant to section 1 of P.L. 1977, c.281 (C. 52: 18A-90.4); or 8. Agreements for the repurchase of fully collateralized securities if: a. the underlying securities are permitted investments pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (3) of this subsection; b the custody of collateral is transferred to a third party; c. the maturity of the agreement is not more than 30 days; d. the underlying securities are purchased through a public depository as defined in section 1 of P. L. 1970, c.236 (C. 17:19-41); and e. a master repurchase agreement providing for the custody and security of collateral is executed. NOTE 3: LONG-TERM DEBT Bonds are issued by the County of Somerset to fund capital projects of the Park Commission. NOTE 4: FUND BALANCE APPROPRIATED Fund Balance at December 31, 2013 which was appropriated and included as anticipated revenue in the Commission budget for the year ending December 31, 2014 was as follows: Current Fund 1,029,510.00 12

NOTE 5: PENSIONS Employees who are eligible for a pension plan, are enrolled in the Public Employees' Retirement System and Police and Firemen's Retirement System administered by the Division of Pensions, Treasury Department of the State of New Jersey. The Division annually charges municipalities and other participating governmental units for their respective contributions to the plans based upon actuarial methods. A portion of the cost is contributed by the employees. The Park Commission's share, paid by the County of Somerset, that includes the costs of the early retirement incentive program of pension costs, which is based upon the annual billings received from the State, amounted to 953,342.00 for 2013, 915,105.00 for 2012 and 921,018.00 for 2011. Park Commission employees are also covered by the Federal Insurance Contribution Act. Information as to the comparison of the actuarially computed value of vested benefits with the system's assets is not available from the State Retirement System and, therefore, is not presented. NOTE 6: COMPENSATED ABSENCES The Park Commission has permitted employees to accumulate unused vacation and sick pay, which may be taken as time off or paid under certain circumstances. Management has estimated, at December 31, 2013 that the accumulated cost of such unpaid compensation would approximate 735,671.17 for unused sick and vacation days. Under existing accounting principles and practices prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services, the amounts required to be paid in any fiscal year for the above mentioned compensation are raised in that year's budget and no liability is required to be accrued or reported in the financial statements at December 31, 2013. NOTE 7: LITIGATION The Park Commission counsel's letter did not indicate any litigation, claims or contingent liabilities which would materially affect the financial statements of the Commission. 13

NOTE 8: RISK MANAGEMENT The Park Commission is exposed to various risks of losses related to torts; theft of damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. Beginning in 1994, the County became a member of the Somerset County Joint Insurance Fund (the "Fund"), which was formed in accordance with P.L. 1983, C 372 entitled "An Act Concerning Joint Insurance Funds for Local Government Units of Government." The Fund provides insurance coverage covering each of the above-mentioned risks of loss. The County's contribution to the Fund is based on actuarial assumptions determined by the Fund's actuary. The Fund also purchases commercial insurance for claims in excess of coverage provided by the Fund. Workers' compensation claims incurred prior to January 1, 1994 are required to be financed by the Park Commission. The loss from these claims incurred, but not reported, has not been determined. The Park Commission maintains the following types of insurance coverage: Worker's Compensation and Employee Liability Comprehensive General Liability Motor Vehicle Liability Property Damage Public Officials Legal Liability NOTE 9: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES The Park Commission may participate in various financial assistance grant programs. Entitlement to the funds is generally conditional upon compliance with terms and conditions of the grant agreements and applicable regulations, including the expenditure of funds for eligible purposes. The state and federal grants received and expended in 2013 were subject to the Single Audit Act Amendment of 1996 and State of New Jersey OMS Circular 04-04 which mandates that grants revenues and expenditures be audited in conjunction with the Park Commission's annual audit. Findings and questioned costs, if any, relative to federal and state financial assistance programs will be discussed in detail in Part II Single Audit Section of the 2013 audit. In addition, these programs are also subject to compliance and financial audits by the grantors or their representatives. As of December 31, 2013 the Park Commission does not believe that any material liabilities will result from such audits. NOTE 10: COUNTY SUPPORT During 2013, the County of Somerset provided the Park Commission with the following funding: Operating Fund Grant Fund Capital Fund 8,000,000.00 2,270,000.00 1,000,000.00 14

NOTE 11: GASB 45: OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has issued Statement No. 45, "Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Post Employment Benefits Other Than Pension." This statement requires the municipality to disclose in the notes to the financial statements the present value of the estimated future cost of the other post employment benefits (OPES). OPES obligations are non-pension benefits that the municipality has contractually or otherwise agreed to provide employees once they have retired and in most instances, will be for retirement health, prescription and dental insurance coverage. Under current New Jersey budget and financial reporting requirements, the municipality is not required to fund any amounts in excess of their current costs on a pay-as-you-go basis or required to accrue funds, create a trust or issue debt to finance their other post-employment benefit liability. Additionally, the municipality is not required to recognize any long-term obligations resulting from OPES on their balance sheets; however, OPES obligations are required to be disclosed in the notes, commencing with the 2008 year. Plan Description The Somerset County Park Commission provides Post-Retirement Benefits to eligible employees in accordance with terms of their various labor agreements: SUMMARY OF RETIREE BENEFITS A Plan Overview Somerset County Park Commission ("Parks") provides post-employment benefits other than pensions ("OPES") to employees who meet certain criteria.
