366 East Olympia Avenue Punta Gorda, Florida 33950 Phone: 941.639.6600 Fax: 941.639.6115 Independent Auditor's Report To the Honorable Board of County Commissioners of Hendry County, Florida: Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate discretely presented component units and remaining fund information of Hendry County, Florida (the "County") as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the County's basic 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 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 opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with 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. 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. I-1

Auditor's Responsibility, continued 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 opinions. Opinions In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate discretely presented component units and remaining fund information of the County as of September 30, 2013, and respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund, County Transportation Trust Fund, and the Solid Waste Disposal Fund for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion and analysis and required supplementary information, as provided in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's 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 Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the County's basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining statements and schedules and statistical section as provided in the table of contents, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, and is also not a required part of the basic financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Hendry County, Florida Management s Discussion and Analysis This discussion and analysis of Hendry County s (the County ) financial statements is designed to introduce the basic financial statements and provide an analytical overview of the County s financial activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. The basic financial statements are comprised of the government-wide financial statements, fund financial statements, and footnotes. We hope this will assist readers in identifying significant financial issues and changes in the County s financial position. Financial Highlights At the close of fiscal year 2013 the County s assets exceeded its liabilities, resulting in net assets of $90,244761 which is an decrease of $2,630,947 over last year or (2.84) percent. Governmental and business-type assets exceeded its liabilities by $69,896,589 and $20,348,172, respectively which was a decrease of ($1,718,265) for governmental assets, or (2.39) percent and decrease of ($912,682) for business-type assets or, (4.29) percent. Total revenues for governmental activities were $44,121,992 which was a increase of $1,627,088 over prior year. Total expenses for governmental activities increased $77,771 Long-term liabilities are reported at $4,234,874 on September 30, 2013 for governmental activities and $9,411,188 for business-type activities. Decreases were associated with the pay-off of several buildings and no additional debt service during the 2013 fiscal year. Capital Assets net of depreciation are reported at $73,581,651 on September 30, 2013 for all fund types. Government-Wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (statement of net assets and statement of activities) concentrate on the County as a whole and do not emphasize fund types but rather a governmental or a business-type classification, which are presented in separate columns. The governmental and business-type activities comprise the primary government and are reported separate from the component unit for which the County is accountable. General governmental and intergovernmental revenues support the governmental activities, whereas the business-type activities are primarily supported by user fees and charges for services. The purpose of the government-wide financial statements is to allow the user to be able to analyze the County s total financial position. The statement of activities reflect the expenses of a given function or segment, which are offset by program revenues. Program revenues are defined as charges for services, operating grants and contributions, and capital grants and contributions directly associated with a given function. Taxes are reported under general revenue. Fund Financial Statements The accounts of the County are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity or retained earnings, revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Governmental resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purpose for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The County s funds are presented in separate fund financial statements. These funds are presented on a governmental fund financial statement and a proprietary fund financial statement. The County s major funds are presented in separate columns on the fund financial statements. The definition of a major fund is one that meets certain criteria set-forth in Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statements Number 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management s Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments (GASB 34). The funds that do not meet the criteria of a major fund are considered non-major funds and are combined into a single column on the fund financial statements. The County adopts an annual budget for all funds. A budgetary comparison has been presented for the General Fund, County Transportation Trust Fund, Solid Waste Disposal Fund, Disaster Relief Fund, Capital Projects Fund, and Debt Service Fund which compares not only actual results to budget but also the original adopted budget to final budget. I - 4

Governmental Fund Financial Statements Governmental fund financial statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis using current financial resources measurement focus. Under the modified accrual basis, revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as net current assets. Five of the County s governmental funds, the General Fund, County Transportation Trust Fund, Solid Waste Disposal Fund, Disaster Relief Fund and Capital Projects Fund are classified as major funds. All other governmental funds are combined into a single column on the governmental fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the non-major funds are found in combining statement as supplemental financial data. Proprietary Fund Financial Statements Proprietary fund financial statements like government-wide financial statements are prepared on the full accrual basis. Proprietary funds record both operating and non-operating revenues and expenses. Operating revenues are those that are obtained from the operations of the proprietary fund. The County reports their Port LaBelle Utility System in the proprietary fund financial statement. This enterprise fund represents our water and sewer system that the county owns and operates. Fiduciary Fund Financial Statement The fiduciary fund financial statement is not included in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the County s programs. The only type of fiduciary funds the County maintains, agency funds, are used to account for assets held by the County as an agent for individuals. Government-Wide Financial Analysis The government-wide financial statements were designed so that the user could determine if the County is in a better or worse condition from the prior year. In fiscal year ending 2003 GASB 34 was implemented and reporting requirements changed significantly. The following is a condensed summary of net assets for the primary government for fiscal years 2012 and 2013 with increases and decreases.

Investment in capital assets, net of related debt is the largest portion of the net assets. This represents capital assets (land, buildings, improvements, equipment, furniture, vehicles, and infrastructure), net of accumulated depreciation, and the outstanding related debt used to acquire the assets. The restricted net asset balance of $1,334,232 in 2013 represents a bonding requirement and capital project requirement in 2013. The unrestricted net asset balance of $18,814,916 represents assets that are available for spending at the County s discretion however it is important to note that this balance is county wide and there are restrictions within each source of funds as to what these funds can be used for. The largest decrease in asset type for fiscal year ending in 2013 was restricted assets for governmental activities. Governmental Activities Analysis The Governmental Revenue Accounts had a increase of 3.83 percent from 2012 to 2013. The majority of this variance is due to an increase in Ad Valorem Taxes along with shared State Revenues. These increases are associated a slight upward turn of our economy in Hendry County as well as the State. None of the remaining revenue accounts had material differences. Expenses increased 0.01 percent in 2013. The majority of all expenses remain fairly constant which is directly associated with the economic crisis faced by all governmental agencies currently. The Hendry County Board of County Commissioners, Hendry County Staff as well as all Hendry County Constitutional Officials have worked diligently to become more efficient and cost effective over the past few years and will continue this process into the future. Business Activities Analysis The slight increase in revenues from 2012 to 2013 is due the small economic recovery as well as rate adjustments. Expenses decreased minimumly over multiple accounts due to efficiencies of staff. Expenditures should stabilize over the next few years with the completion of major capital improvement projects. The following schedule represents Summary of Revenue and Expenditures and Changes in Net Assets for the year September 30, 2013. I - 6

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS For the Year ended September 30, 2013 Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds: $ (663,548) Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because: Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation or amortization expense. This is the amount by which depreciation, amortization and capital asset adjustments were above capital outlays in the current period. (428,047) Debt proceeds provide current financial resources for governmental funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the statement of net position. Repayment of debt principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of net position. Proceeds from the issuance of debt $ (490,982) Principal payments 333,891 (157,091) Certain expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of current financial resources and therefore are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Reporting Entity Hendry County (the County ) was created in 1923 by the Laws of Florida 1923, Chapter 23-9369 as amended, Section 7.26, Florida Statutes and is a political subdivision of the State of Florida. It is governed by an elected Board of County Commissioners (the Board ) which is a body of elected Constitutional Officers of Hendry County. Based on the criteria set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, the Board is a part of the County s primary government and its financial statements are included in the basic financial statements of Hendry County, Florida. However, Chapter 11.45, of the Florida Statutes defines the Board as a County agency. For the purposes of that section, County agencies are treated as local governmental agencies. Section 10.557, Rules of the Auditor General for Local Governmental Entity Audits, requires a separate financial audit report for each County agency. The accounts of the Board do not constitute a complete presentation of the County, but present only the financial position and results of operations of the Board. The accompanying financial statements present the combined financial position and results of operations of the County, by major fund, and non-major funds in aggregate, that are governed by the Board. As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial statements of the reporting entity include those of Hendry County (the primary government) and its component units. A component unit is a legally separate organization for which the elected officials of the primary government are financially accountable. In addition, a component unit may be another organization for which the nature and significance of its relationship with a primary government is such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial statements of the component units have been included in the financial reporting entity as a discretely presented component unit. Discretely Presented Component Unit Hendry County Industrial Development Authority is a predominantly dormant organization which convenes on an as needed basis. By Resolution 83-43, dated March 8, 1983, the Board appoints the members of the Authority and provides the funding for the Authority s operations when the Authority s approval is necessary to issue Industrial Revenue Bonds for development in the County. Hendry County Economic Development Council, Inc. (the Council) was incorporated on August 29, 1997 with operations beginning October 1, 1997 as a Florida not-for-profit corporation. The Council s purpose is to promote, develop, stimulate, and coordinate the economic development activities of governments, businesses, and educational institutions in Hendry County. The Council s mission is also to address issues affecting the economic development in Hendry County, as well as, to heighten community awareness of the related economic effect concerning these issues. I-25

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Discretely Presented Component Unit (Continued) The Council acts as an advocate for the promotion of the professions and skills necessary to sustain and expand economic growth by promoting, encouraging and coordinating education and vocational training in Hendry County. Complete financial information of the individual component units can be obtained directly from the Authority or the Council. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements and the major-fund financial statements along with the notes to the financial statements comprise the basic financial statements. The government-wide financial statements (the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report on the Board as a whole and do not emphasize fund types but rather a governmental or a business-type classification, which are presented in separate columns. These statements report on the Board as a whole, both the primary government and its component units, and provide a consolidated financial picture of the Board of County Commissioners. As part of the consolidation process, inter-fund activities are eliminated to avoid distorted financial results. The Statement of Net Position reports all financial and capital resources of the Board s governmental and business-type activities. It is presented in a net position format (assets less liabilities equal net position) and shown with three components: amounts invested in capital assets, net of related debt; restricted net position; and unrestricted net position. The statement of activities reflects the expenses of a given function or segment, which are offset by program revenues. Program revenues are defined as charges for services, operating grants and contributions, and capital grants and contributions directly associated with a given function. Taxes are reported under general revenue. Program revenues are classified into three categories; charges for services, operating grants and contributions, and capital grants and contributions. Charges refer to direct recovery from customers for services rendered. Grants and contributions refer to revenues restricted for specific programs whose use may be restrictedfurther to operational or capital items. The general revenues section displays revenue collected that helps support all functions of our government and contribute to the change in the net position for the fiscal year. The Board s major funds are presented in separate columns on the governmental fund financial statements and the proprietary fund financial statements. The definition of a major fund is one that meets certain criteria setforth in GASB 34. The funds that do not meet the criteria of a major fund are considered non-major funds and are combined into a single column on the fund financial statements. I-26

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation The accounts of the Board are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity or retained earnings, revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Government resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purpose for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures, or expenses, are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The government-wide financial statements are prepared on a full accrual basis using the economic resources measurement focus, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred. Property taxes are recognized in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenues as soon as all of the eligibility requirements have been met. Proprietary funds record both operating and non-operating revenues and expenses. Operating revenues are those that are obtained from the operations of the proprietary fund and include user fees. Non-operating revenues are not related to the operations of the proprietary fund and include interest and other miscellaneous earnings. Operating expenses represent the cost of operations, which includes depreciation. Non-operating expenses are not related to operations such as interest expense. Governmental fund financial statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis using the current financial resources measurement focus. Under the modified accrual basis, revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as net current assets. The Board considers all revenues available if they are collected within sixty days after year-end. Primary revenues, such as property taxes, special assessments, intergovernmental revenues, charges for services, sales and franchise taxes, rents, and interest are treated as susceptible to accrual under the modified accrual basis and have been recognized as revenues. Expenditures reported in governmental fund financial statements are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related fund liability is incurred. An exception to this general rule includes principal and interest on general long-term debt, which is recognized when due. The business-type activities reported in the government-wide financial statements and proprietary funds follow private sector standards issued prior to December 1, 1989, to the extent those standards do not conflict with Governmental Accounting Standards Board statements. I-27

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) However, pursuant to Government Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 20, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds and Other Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, the Board has elected not to apply accounting standards issued after November 30, 1989, by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available, restricted resources will be used first for incurred expenses, and then unrestricted as needed. The Board reports the following major funds in the governmental fund financial statements: General Fund The General Fund is the general operating fund of the Board that is used to account for all financial resources, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. County Transportation Trust Fund The County Transportation Trust Fund construction and maintenance of roadways. accounts for revenues received and expended for the Solid Waste Disposal Fund The Solid Waste Disposal Fund is used to account for the activities related to the solid waste disposal program. Non-major Governmental Funds The non-major governmental funds are a combination of special revenue, debt service, and capital projects funds. I-28

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) Budgets and Budgetary Accounting Chapters 129 and 200 of the Florida Statutes govern the preparation, adoption and administration of the Board s annual budget. The budget is required to be balanced; that is; the total of the estimated revenues, including balances brought forward, shall equal the total of the appropriations and reserves. The following procedures are followed by the Board in establishing the operating budget: (1) On or before July 15, a tentative budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1 is presented to the Board. (2) The tentative budget is reviewed by the Board and any necessary changes are made. (3) Public hearings are conducted to inform the taxpayers of the tentative budget and proposed tax levies and to obtain taxpayer comments. (4) On or before September 30, the budget is legally adopted through passage of a resolution. (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) Section 129.07 of the Florida Statutes prohibits incurring expenditures in excess of total fund appropriations. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year in all Governmental Fund Types. Estimated beginning fund balances are considered in the budgetary process, but are not included in the financial statements as budgeted revenue. Budgets for General, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital Projects Funds are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year in all Governmental Fund Types. Estimated beginning fund balances are considered in the budgetary process, but are not included in the financial statements as budgeted revenue. Budgets for General, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital Projects Funds are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The annual budgets serve as the legal authorization for expenditures. Expenditures cannot legally exceed the total amount budgeted for each fund. The Board must approve all budget amendments, which change the legally adopted total appropriation for a fund. If, during the fiscal year, additional revenues become available for appropriation in excess of those estimated in the budget, the Board may make supplemental appropriations by resolution for the year up to the amount of such excess. During the fiscal year the Board, in accordance with Florida Statutes, approved various supplemental appropriations. Appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. I-29

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Fund Equity Cash and Investments The Board considers cash and cash equivalents to be cash on hand, demand deposits, highly liquid investments, including those held as restricted assets, with original maturities of three months or less when purchased, and those included in the internal investment pool. For accounting and investment purposes, the Board maintains a cash pool that is available for use by all funds except those whose cash and investments may be segregated due to legal or other restrictions. Interest earned on investments in the pool is allocated to the various funds based upon each fund s equity balance in the pool during the allocation period. The Board reports all investments at fair value. Inventories Inventories, consisting primarily of materials and supplies, are stated at cost, which approximates fair market value. The first-in, first-out method of accounting is used to determine cost. All inventories are recorded as expenditures, or expenses, as they are used (consumption method). Capital Assets Capital assets include property, plant, and equipment. Infrastructure assets are defined as public domain fixed assets such as roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems, lighting systems, and similar assets that are immovable and of value only to the government unit. Pursuant to GASB Statement No. 34, the County, a Phase 3 government, has elected to report infrastructure retroactively. Retroactive infrastructure is reported at the estimated historical cost. Capital assets are reported in the government-wide financial statements in the applicable governmental or business-type activities column, as well as the proprietary fund financial statements. The threshold for capitalizing property, plant, and equipment is $5,000. The threshold for capitalizing infrastructure is $100,000. Capital assets are recorded at cost, or estimated historical cost. Contributed assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the time received. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Florida Statutes require that the Board maintain accountability for all assets used in operations, except those maintained by the Sheriff. I-30

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Fund Equity (Continued) Capital Assets (continued) The ranges of the useful lives are as follows: Asset Years Buildings 30-50 Infrastructure 10-100 Improvements other than Buildings 6-50 Equipment 3-35 Computer Equipment 3-10 Furniture 4-20 Vehicles & rolling stock 3-15 New Accounting Standards Beginning with fiscal year 2013, the County implemented GASB Statement No. 63; Financial Reporting of Deferred Outfows of Resources, Deferred inflows of Resources, and Net Position. This statement amends the net asset reporting requirements in Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements-and Management's Discussion and Analysis-for State and Local Governments, and other pronouncements. This statement requres a Statement of Net Position (rather that net assets) format which segregates deferred inflows and deferred outflows from assets and liabilities respectively. Specific items required to be broken out as deferred inflows or deferred outflows are discussed in GASB Statements 53 and 60. These items are Derivative Investments and Service Concession Arrangements respectively. None of these items affect the County at this time. The other portion of GASB Statement 63 is nomenclature. Statement No. 64; Derivative Instuments: Application of Hedge Accounting Termination Provisions is not applicable to Hendry County. Compensated Absences The Board maintains a policy that permits employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits that will be paid to employees upon separation from Board service if certain criteria are met. These benefits, plus their related tax and retirement costs are classified as compensated absences. Both the current and long-term portion of compensated absences are accrued and reported in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. This is accounted for pursuant to GASB Statement Number 16, Accounting for Compensated Absences. Net Position / Fund Balance Classification Governmental funds report fund balances as either nonspendable or spendable. Spendable fund balances are further classified as restricted, committed, assigned or unassigned, based on the extent to which there are external or internal constraints on the spending of these fund balances. I-31

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Fund Equity (Continued) Net Position / Fund Balance Classification (Continued) Nonspendable fund balances include amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form or legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. The County considers inventories and prepaid items as part of this category, as well as long-term receivables from which proceeds are not restricted, committed, or assigned. Spendable Fund Balances: Restricted Fund Balance: Amounts that are restricted to specific purposes, and are restricted through enabling legislation and are legally enforceable. The legislation that creates the revenue stream must also stipulate the purposes for which that revenue can be used. Committed Fund Balance: Amounts that are committed for specific purposes by formal action of the governments highest level of decision making authority. These amounts are not subject to legal enforceability as in restricted, however those amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the government removes or changes the limitation by taking the same form of action it employed to previously impose the limitation. Assigned Fund Balance: Amounts that are intended by the government to be used for specific purposes but are neither restricted nor limited. Intent should be expressed by (a) the governing body itself, or (b) a subordinate high-level body or official possessing the authority to assign amounts to be used for specific purposes. Unassigned Fund Balance: Is the residual classification for the general fund. This classification represents fund balance that has not been assigned to other funds and that has not been restricted, limited, or assigned to specific purposes within the general fund. Government-wide statements and proprietary fund statements utilize an economic resources measurement focus and categorize net position among the following components: Invested in Capital Assets, Net of Related Debt indicates that portion of net position which represents the County s equity in capital assets, less the amount of related debt. Restricted Net Position indicates that portion of net position which are segregated due to external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments and restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Unrestricted Net Position indicates that portion of net position which is available for general operations. I-32

Discounts on property taxes are allowed for payments made prior to the April 1 delinquent date. Tax certificates for the full amount of any unpaid taxes must be sold no later than June 1 of each year. No accrual for the property tax levy becoming due in November 2013 is included in the accompanying financial statements, since such taxes are collected to finance expenditures of the subsequent period. Procedures for collecting delinquent taxes, including applicable tax certificate sales and tax deed sales, are provided by Florida Statutes and are performed by the Hendry County Tax Collector. The enforceable lien date is approximately two years after taxes become delinquent and occurs only upon request of a holder of a delinquent tax certificate.

The liability is being recognized based on the future post closure costs that will be incurred after the date the landfill no longer accepts waste. The landfill stopped accepting solid waste on December 1, 1992, and finished placing the required cover on the landfill during the fiscal year ended September 30, 1994. Since the landfill is closed, the estimated liability is based on the current estimated costs for services to monitor and maintain the closed landfill for the required period. However, the actual cost of postclosure care may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in landfill laws and regulations. The Board is required by state and federal regulations to make annual contributions to finance the post closure care. The Board has set aside funds in the amount of $41,255 for post closure care. The funding for costs for providing the final cover was provided by Lee County under the interlocal agreement for the joint solid waste disposal program. I-40

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 11 - CONTINGENCIES Grants and Assistance Activities of certain funds of the Board are financed in whole or in part by various forms of grants and assistance, principally from the federal government. There can be no absolute assurance that such assistance will continue in the future at the present levels. Amounts received from grantor agencies are subject to audit or adjustment by the grantor agencies. Also, any amounts disallowed could constitute liabilities of the applicable funds. Litigation The Board, in accordance with the normal conduct of its affairs, is involved in various judgments, claims, and litigation. It is expected that the final settlement of these matters will not materially affect the financial statements of the Board. NOTE 12 - RETIREMENT PLAN Plan Description and Provisions The Board participates in the Florida Retirement System (FRS), a cost sharing, multiple-employer, public employee retirement system, which covers substantially all of the full-time and part-time employees. The FRS is noncontributory and is totally administered by the State of Florida. Benefits under the plan vest after six years of service. Employees who retire at or after age 62 (age 55 for special risk) or 30 years of service (25 years for special risk), with six years of credited service, are entitled to an annual retirement benefit, payable monthly for life. The FRS also provides for early retirement at reduced benefits and death and disability benefits. These benefit provisions and all other requirements are established by Chapters 112 and 121, Florida Statutes. Effective July 1, 2011, covered members are required to contribute 3% of gross earnings. The County is required to make contributions based on actuarially determined statewide contribution rates. The contribution rates by job class for the periods from October 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013 and July 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013, respectively, were as follows: regular, 5.18% and 6.95%; senior management, 6.30% and 18.31%; county elected officers, 10.23% and 33.03%; special risk, 14.90% and 19.06%; and DROP participants, 5.44% and 12.84%. The County s contributions made during the years ended September 30, 2013, 2012, and 2011 were $1,479,013, $1,345,489, and $2,059,144, respectively, equal to the required contributions for each year. A copy of the FRS s June 30, 2013 annual report can be obtained by writing to the Division of Retirement, 2639 North Monroe Street, Building C, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1560, or by phoning (850) 488-5706. I-41

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 13 - RISK MANAGEMENT The Board is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets, errors and omissions, injuries to employees, and natural disasters. The County is a member of Public Risk Management (PRM), a local government liability risk pool. PRM administers insurance activities relating to property, general, automobile, public official's liability, workers compensation, health, and auto physical damage. The pool assesses each member its pro rata share of the estimated amount required to meet current year losses, operating expenses and reinsurance costs (premiums). To reduce its exposure to large losses on all types of insured events PRM uses reinsurance policies purchased from third parties. The Fund is fully funded annually. Major uninsurable risks include damages to infrastructure assets and damages or governmental fines due to seepage, pollution, or contamination of any kind. Since the amounts of loss cannot be reasonably estimated and the likelihood is undeterminable, no provision for such occurrences is included in these financial statements. NOTE 14 - OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS Plan Description In accordance with Section 112.0801, Florida Statutes, because the Board provides medical plans to employees of the County and their eligible dependents, the Board is also required to provide retirees the opportunity to participate in the group employee health plan. Retirees participating in the group insurance plans offered by the County are required to contribute 100% of the active participants cost of participation. Eligibility for Insurance Coverage Employees of the County and all constitutional officers who were participants in the existing medical plan at the time of retirement are entitled to participate in the Plan. Depending on the class of employee the following eligibility rules apply: Regular Class and Elected Officials - Age 62 and 6 years of service or 30 years of service, regardless of age, is normal retirement. Employees may retire early at age 43 and 6 years of service. Special Risk - Age 55 and 6 years of service or 25 years of service, regardless of age is normal retirement. Employees may retire early at age 36 and 6 years of service. Membership As of September 30, 2013, membership consisted of: Active Employees 344 Retired Participants 9 Covered Spouses 1 I-42

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 14 - OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (CONTINUED) Funding Policy Funding for this plan is on a pay-as-you-go basis. The Program is currently unfunded. There is no separate trust through which benefits for retirees are funded. No assets are currently accumulated or earmarked for this purpose. Annual OPEB Costs and Net OPEB Obligation Hendry County had an actuarial valuation performed for the plan as of October 1, 2012 to determine the funded status of the plan as of that date, as well as the employer's annual required contribution (ARC) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. The County s annual OPEB cost for the fiscal year was set at $346,158 as the transition liability was set to zero as of September 30, 2013. The County s annual OPEB cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represnets a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal costs each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a period not to exceed thirty years. The following table shows the components of the County's annual OPEB cost for the year and changes in the County's net OPEB obligation. Annual Required Contribution (ARC) $ 360,944 Interest on Net OPEB Obligation 39,434 Adjustment to Annual Required Contribution (54,220) Annual OPEB Cost 346,158 Contributions Made (62,667) Increase in Net OPEB Obligation 283,491 Beginning, Net OPEB Obligation, 10/01/2012 876,313 Ending, Net OPEB Obligation, 9/30/2013 $ 1,159,804 The County's annual OPEB cost, the percentage of the annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the net OPEB obligation are as follows: Fiscal Year Ended Annual OPEB Cost % of Annual OPEB Cost Contributed Net OPEB Obligation September 30, 2013 $ 346,158 18.1% $ 1,159,804 September 30, 2012 $ 296,796 18.5% $ 876,313 September 30, 2011 $ 294,183 19.3% $ 634,541 I-43

366 East Olympia Avenue Punta Gorda, Florida 33950 Phone: 941.639.6600 Fax: 941.639.6115 Independent Auditor's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards To the Honorable Board of County Commissioners of Hendry County, Florida: 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 governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate discretely presented component units and remaining fund information of Hendry County, Florida, (the "County") as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the County's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated June 20, 2014. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the County's internal 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 County s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the County s 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 combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity'sbasic 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.

366 East Olympia Avenue Punta Gorda, Florida 33950 Phone: 941.639.6600 Fax: 941.639.6115 Independent Auditor's Report To the Honorable Board of County Commissioners of Hendry County, Florida Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying special-purpose financial statements of the each major fund and aggregate remaining fund information of the Board of County Commissioners, Hendry County, Florida (the "Board") as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, 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 special-purpose 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 opinions on these special-purpose financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with 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. 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. II-1

Auditor's Responsibility, continued 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 opinions. As discussed in Note 1, the accompanying special-purpose financial statements were prepared for the purpose of complying with Section 218.39(2), Florida Statutes, and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General - Local Governmental Entity Audits, and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the financial position and changes in financial position of the Board. Additionally, the special-purpose financial statements present only the Board and are not intended to present the financial position and changes in financial position of Hendry County, Florida taken as a whole. Opinions In our opinion, the special-purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the budgetary comparison information be presented to supplement the special-purpose financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the special-purpose financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the special-purpose financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the special-purpose financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the special-purpose 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 June 20, 2014, on our consideration of the Board'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.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Reporting Entity Hendry County (the County ) was created in 1923 by the Laws of Florida 1923, Chapter 23-9369 as amended, Section 7.26, Florida Statutes and is a political subdivision of the State of Florida. It is governed by an elected Board of County Commissioners (the Board ) which is a body of elected Constitutional Officers of Hendry County. Based on the criteria set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, the Board is a part of the County s primary government and its financial statements are included in the basic financial statements of Hendry County, Florida. However, Chapter 11.45, of the Florida Statutes defines the Board as a County agency. For the purposes of that section, County agencies are treated as local governmental agencies. Section 10.557, Rules of the Auditor General for Local Governmental Entity Audits, requires a separate financial audit report for each County agency. The accounts of the Board do not constitute a complete presentation of the County, but present only the financial position and results of operations of the Board. The accompanying financial statements present the combined financial position and results of operations of the County, by major fund, and non-major funds in aggregate, that are governed by the Board. As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial statements of the reporting entity include those of Hendry County (the primary government) and its component units. A component unit is a legally separate organization for which the elected officials of the primary government are financially accountable. In addition, a component unit may be another organization for which the nature and significance of its relationship with a primary government is such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial statements of the component units have been included in the financial reporting entity as a discretely presented component unit. Discretely Presented Component Unit Hendry County Industrial Development Authority is a predominantly dormant organization which convenes on an as needed basis. By Resolution 83-43, dated March 8, 1983, the Board appoints the members of the Authority and provides the funding for the Authority s operations when the Authority s approval is necessary to issue Industrial Revenue Bonds for development in the County. Hendry County Economic Development Council, Inc. (the Council) was incorporated on August 29, 1997 with operations beginning October 1, 1997 as a Florida not-for-profit corporation. The Council s purpose is to promote, develop, stimulate, and coordinate the economic development activities of governments, businesses, and educational institutions in Hendry County. The Council s mission is also to address issues affecting the economic development in Hendry County, as well as, to heighten community awareness of the related economic effect concerning these issues. II-16

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Discretely Presented Component Unit (Continued) The Council acts as an advocate for the promotion of the professions and skills necessary to sustain and expand economic growth by promoting, encouraging and coordinating education and vocational training in Hendry County. Complete financial information of the individual component units can be obtained directly from the Authority or the Council. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements and the major-fund financial statements along with the notes to the financial statements comprise the basic financial statements. The government-wide financial statements (the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report on the Board as a whole and do not emphasize fund types but rather a governmental or a business-type classification, which are presented in separate columns. These statements report on the Board as a whole, both the primary government and its component units, and provide a consolidated financial picture of the Board of County Commissioners. As part of the consolidation process, inter-fund activities are eliminated to avoid distorted financial results. The Statement of Net Position reports all financial and capital resources of the Board s governmental and business-type activities. It is presented in a net position format (assets less liabilities equal net position) and shown with three components: amounts invested in capital assets, net of related debt; restricted net position; and unrestricted net position. The statement of activities reflects the expenses of a given function or segment, which are offset by program revenues. Program revenues are defined as charges for services, operating grants and contributions, and capital grants and contributions directly associated with a given function. Taxes are reported under general revenue. Program revenues are classified into three categories; charges for services, operating grants and contributions, and capital grants and contributions. Charges refer to direct recovery from customers for services rendered. Grants and contributions refer to revenues restricted for specific programs whose use may be restricted further to operational or capital items. The general revenues section displays revenue collected that helps support all functions of our government and contribute to the change in the net position for the fiscal year. The Board s major funds are presented in separate columns on the governmental fund financial statements and the proprietary fund financial statements. The definition of a major fund is one that meets certain criteria setforth in GASB 34. The funds that do not meet the criteria of a major fund are considered non-major funds and are combined into a single column on the fund financial statements. II-17

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation The accounts of the Board are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity or retained earnings, revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Government resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purpose for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures, or expenses, are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The government-wide financial statements are prepared on a full accrual basis using the economic resources measurement focus, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred. Property taxes are recognized in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenues as soon as all of the eligibility requirements have been met. Proprietary funds record both operating and non-operating revenues and expenses. Operating revenues are those that are obtained from the operations of the proprietary fund and include user fees. Non-operating revenues are not related to the operations of the proprietary fund and include interest and other miscellaneous earnings. Operating expenses represent the cost of operations, which includes depreciation. Non-operating expenses are not related to operations such as interest expense. Governmental fund financial statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis using the current financial resources measurement focus. Under the modified accrual basis, revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as net current assets. The Board considers all revenues available if they are collected within sixty days after year-end. Primary revenues, such as property taxes, special assessments, intergovernmental revenues, charges for services, sales and franchise taxes, rents, and interest are treated as susceptible to accrual under the modified accrual basis and have been recognized as revenues. Expenditures reported in governmental fund financial statements are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related fund liability is incurred. An exception to this general rule includes principal and interest on general long-term debt, which is recognized when due. The business-type activities reported in the government-wide financial statements and proprietary funds follow private sector standards issued prior to December 1, 1989, to the extent those standards do not conflict with Governmental Accounting Standards Board statements. II-18

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) However, pursuant to Government Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 20, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds and Other Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, the Board has elected not to apply accounting standards issued after November 30, 1989, by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available, restricted resources will be used first for incurred expenses, and then unrestricted as needed. The Board reports the following major funds in the governmental fund financial statements: General Fund The General Fund is the general operating fund of the Board that is used to account for all financial resources, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. County Transportation Trust Fund The County Transportation Trust Fund construction and maintenance of roadways. accounts for revenues received and expended for the Solid Waste Disposal Fund The Solid Waste Disposal Fund is used to account for the activities related to the solid waste disposal program. Non-major Governmental Funds The non-major governmental funds are a combination of special revenue, debt service, and capital projects funds. II-19

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) Budgets and Budgetary Accounting Chapters 129 and 200 of the Florida Statutes govern the preparation, adoption and administration of the Board s annual budget. The budget is required to be balanced; that is; the total of the estimated revenues, including balances brought forward, shall equal the total of the appropriations and reserves. The following procedures are followed by the Board in establishing the operating budget: (1) On or before July 15, a tentative budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1 is presented to the Board. (2) The tentative budget is reviewed by the Board and any necessary changes are made. (3) (4) On or before September 30, the budget is legally adopted through passage of a resolution. (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) Public hearings are conducted to inform the taxpayers of the tentative budget and proposed tax levies and to obtain taxpayer comments. Section 129.07 of the Florida Statutes prohibits incurring expenditures in excess of total fund appropriations. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year in all Governmental Fund Types. Estimated beginning fund balances are considered in the budgetary process, but are not included in the financial statements as budgeted revenue. Budgets for General, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital Projects Funds are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year in all Governmental Fund Types. Estimated beginning fund balances are considered in the budgetary process, but are not included in the financial statements as budgeted revenue. Budgets for General, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital Projects Funds are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The annual budgets serve as the legal authorization for expenditures. Expenditures cannot legally exceed the total amount budgeted for each fund. The Board must approve all budget amendments, which change the legally adopted total appropriation for a fund. If, during the fiscal year, additional revenues become available for appropriation in excess of those estimated in the budget, the Board may make supplemental appropriations by resolution for the year up to the amount of such excess. During the fiscal year the Board, in accordance with Florida Statutes, approved various supplemental appropriations. Appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. II-20

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Fund Equity Cash and Investments The Board considers cash and cash equivalents to be cash on hand, demand deposits, highly liquid investments, including those held as restricted assets, with original maturities of three months or less when purchased, and those included in the internal investment pool. For accounting and investment purposes, the Board maintains a cash pool that is available for use by all funds except those whose cash and investments may be segregated due to legal or other restrictions. Interest earned on investments in the pool is allocated to the various funds based upon each fund s equity balance in the pool during the allocation period. The Board reports all investments at fair value. Inventories Inventories, consisting primarily of materials and supplies, are stated at cost, which approximates fair market value. The first-in, first-out method of accounting is used to determine cost. All inventories are recorded as expenditures, or expenses, as they are used (consumption method). Capital Assets Capital assets include property, plant, and equipment. Infrastructure assets are defined as public domain fixed assets such as roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems, lighting systems, and similar assets that are immovable and of value only to the government unit. Pursuant to GASB Statement No. 34, the County, a Phase 3 government, has elected to report infrastructure retroactively. Retroactive infrastructure is reported at the estimated historical cost. Capital assets are reported in the government-wide financial statements in the applicable governmental or business-type activities column, as well as the proprietary fund financial statements. The threshold for capitalizing property, plant, and equipment is $5,000. The threshold for capitalizing infrastructure is $100,000. Capital assets are recorded at cost, or estimated historical cost. Contributed assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the time received. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Florida Statutes require that the Board maintain accountability for all assets used in operations, except those maintained by the Sheriff. II-21

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Fund Equity (Continued) Capital Assets (continued) BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 The ranges of the useful lives are as follows: Asset Years Buildings 30-50 Infrastructure 10-100 Improvements other than Buildings 6-50 Equipment 3-35 Computer Equipment 3-10 Furniture 4-20 Vehicles & rolling stock 3-15 New Accounting Standards Beginning with fiscal year 2013, the County implemented GASB Statement No. 63; Financial Reporting of Deferred Outfows of Resources, Deferred inflows of Resources, and Net Position. This statement amends the net asset reporting requirements in Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements-and Management's Discussion and Analysis-for State and Local Governments, and other pronouncements. This statement requres a Statement of Net Position (rather that net assets) format which segregates deferred inflows and deferred outflows from assets and liabilities respectively. Specific items required to be broken out as deferred inflows or deferred outflows are discussed in GASB Statements 53 and 60. These items are Derivative Investments and Service Concession Arrangements respectively. None of these items affect the County at this time. The other portion of GASB Statement 63 is nomenclature. Statement No. 64; Derivative Instuments: Application of Hedge Accounting Termination Provisions is not applicable to Hendry County. Compensated Absences The Board maintains a policy that permits employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits that will be paid to employees upon separation from Board service if certain criteria are met. These benefits, plus their related tax and retirement costs are classified as compensated absences. Both the current and long-term portion of compensated absences are accrued and reported in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. This is accounted for pursuant to GASB Statement Number 16, Accounting for Compensated Absences. Net Position / Fund Balance Classification Governmental funds report fund balances as either nonspendable or spendable. Spendable fund balances are further classified as restricted, committed, assigned or unassigned, based on the extent to which there are external or internal constraints on the spending of these fund balances. II-22

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Fund Equity (Continued) Net Position / Fund Balance Classification (Continued) Nonspendable fund balances include amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form or legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. The County considers inventories and prepaid items as part of this category, as well as long-term receivables from which proceeds are not restricted, committed, or assigned. Spendable Fund Balances: Restricted Fund Balance: Amounts that are restricted to specific purposes, and are restricted through enabling legislation and are legally enforceable. The legislation that creates the revenue stream must also stipulate the purposes for which that revenue can be used. Committed Fund Balance: Amounts that are committed for specific purposes by formal action of the governments highest level of decision making authority. These amounts are not subject to legal enforceability as in restricted, however those amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the government removes or changes the limitation by taking the same form of action it employed to previously impose the limitation. Assigned Fund Balance: Amounts that are intended by the government to be used for specific purposes but are neither restricted nor limited. Intent should be expressed by (a) the governing body itself, or (b) a subordinate high-level body or official possessing the authority to assign amounts to be used for specific purposes. Unassigned Fund Balance: Is the residual classification for the general fund. This classification represents fund balance that has not been assigned to other funds and that has not been restricted, limited, or assigned to specific purposes within the general fund. Government-wide statements and proprietary fund statements utilize an economic resources measurement focus and categorize net position among the following components: Invested in Capital Assets, Net of Related Debt indicates that portion of net position which represents the County s equity in capital assets, less the amount of related debt. Restricted Net Position indicates that portion of net position which are segregated due to external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments and restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Unrestricted Net Position indicates that portion of net position which is available for general operations. II-23

The liability is being recognized based on the future post closure costs that will be incurred after the date the landfill no longer accepts waste. The landfill stopped accepting solid waste on December 1, 1992, and finished placing the required cover on the landfill during the fiscal year ended September 30, 1994. Since the landfill is closed, the estimated liability is based on the current estimated costs for services to monitor and maintain the closed landfill for the required period. However, the actual cost of postclosure care may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in landfill laws and regulations. The Board is required by state and federal regulations to make annual contributions to finance the post closure care. The Board has set aside funds in the amount of $41,255 for post closure care. The funding for costs for providing the final cover was provided by Lee County under the interlocal agreement for the joint solid waste disposal program. II-31

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 11 - CONTINGENCIES Grants and Assistance Activities of certain funds of the Board are financed in whole or in part by various forms of grants and assistance, principally from the federal government. There can be no absolute assurance that such assistance will continue in the future at the present levels. Amounts received from grantor agencies are subject to audit or adjustment by the grantor agencies. Also, any amounts disallowed could constitute liabilities of the applicable funds. Litigation The Board, in accordance with the normal conduct of its affairs, is involved in various judgments, claims, and litigation. It is expected that the final settlement of these matters will not materially affect the financial statements of the Board. NOTE 12 - RETIREMENT PLAN Plan Description and Provisions The Board participates in the Florida Retirement System (FRS), a cost sharing, multiple-employer, public employee retirement system, which covers substantially all of the full-time and part-time employees. The FRS is noncontributory and is totally administered by the State of Florida. Benefits under the plan vest after six years of service. Employees who retire at or after age 62 (age 55 for special risk) or 30 years of service (25 years for special risk), with six years of credited service, are entitled to an annual retirement benefit, payable monthly for life. The FRS also provides for early retirement at reduced benefits and death and disability benefits. These benefit provisions and all other requirements are established by Chapters 112 and 121, Florida Statutes. Effective July 1, 2011, covered members are required to contribute 3% of gross earnings. The Board is required to make contributions based on actuarially determined statewide contribution rates. The contribution rates by job class for the periods from October 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013 and July 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013, respectively, were as follows: regular, 5.18% and 6.95%; senior management, 6.30% and 18.31%; county elected officers, 10.23% and 33.03%; special risk, 14.90% and 19.06%; and DROP participants, 5.44% and 12.84%.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 13 - RISK MANAGEMENT The Board is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets, errors and omissions, injuries to employees, and natural disasters. The County is a member of Public Risk Management (PRM), a local government liability risk pool. PRM administers insurance activities relating to property, general, automobile, public official's liability, workers compensation, health, and auto physical damage. The pool assesses each member its pro rata share of the estimated amount required to meet current year losses, operating expenses and reinsurance costs (premiums). To reduce its exposure to large losses on all types of insured events PRM uses reinsurance policies purchased from third parties. The Fund is fully funded annually. Major uninsurable risks include damages to infrastructure assets and damages or governmental fines due to seepage, pollution, or contamination of any kind. Since the amounts of loss cannot be reasonably estimated and the likelihood is undeterminable, no provision for such occurrences is included in these financial statements. NOTE 14 - OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS Plan Description In accordance with Section 112.0801, Florida Statutes, because the Board provides medical plans to employees of the County and their eligible dependents, the Board is also required to provide retirees the opportunity to participate in the group employee health plan. Retirees participating in the group insurance plans offered by the County are required to contribute 100% of the active participants cost of participation. Eligibility for Insurance Coverage Employees of the County and all constitutional officers who were participants in the existing medical plan at the time of retirement are entitled to participate in the Plan. Depending on the class of employee the following eligibility rules apply: Regular Class and Elected Officials - Age 62 and 6 years of service or 30 years of service, regardless of age, is normal retirement. Employees may retire early at age 43 and 6 years of service. Special Risk - Age 55 and 6 years of service or 25 years of service, regardless of age is normal retirement. Employees may retire early at age 36 and 6 years of service. Membership As of September 30, 2013, membership consisted of: Active Employees 130 Retired Participants 2 II-33

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 14 - OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (CONTINUED) Funding Policy Funding for this plan is on a pay-as-you-go basis. The Program is currently unfunded. There is no separate trust through which benefits for retirees are funded. No assets are currently accumulated or earmarked for this purpose.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the special-purpose financial statements, we considered the Board's internal 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 special-purpose financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Board s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Board s 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 combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's specialpurpose 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.

366 East Olympia Avenue Punta Gorda, Florida 33950 Phone: 941.639.6600 Fax: 941.639.6115 Independent Auditor's Report Honorable Barbara S. Butler Hendry County Clerk of the Circuit Court LaBelle, Florida Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying special-purpose financial statements of each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Hendry County, Florida, Clerk of the Circuit Court, (the "Clerk") as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, as listed in the table of contents. We also have audited the financial statements of each of the Clerk's agency funds as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, presented as other supplementary information in the table of contents. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these special-purpose 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 opinions on these special-purpose financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with 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. 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. III-1

Auditor's Responsibility, continued 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 opinions. As discussed in Note 1, the accompanying special-purpose financial statements were prepared for the purpose of complying with Section 218.39(2), Florida Statutes, and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General - Local Governmental Entity Audits, and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the financial position and changes in financial position of the Clerk. Additionally, the special-purpose financial statements present only the Clerk and are not intended to present the financial position and changes in financial position of Hendry County, Florida taken as a whole. Opinions In our opinion, the special-purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Clerk in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of each agency fund of the Clerk as of September 30, 2013 and the respective changes thereof for the fiscal year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the budgetary comparison information on page III-14 be presented to supplement the special-purpose financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the special-purpose financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the special-purpose financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the special-purpose financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the special-purpose 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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Reporting Entity CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2013 The Clerk, as an elected constitutional officer was established by the Constitution of the State of Florida, Article VIII, Section 1 (d). As such, the Clerk's special purpose financial statements are included in the government wide financial statements of Hendry County, the primary government. A component unit is a legally separate organization for which the elected officials of the primary government are financially accountable. Based on the criteria established by Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Number 14, "Financial Reporting Entity," there are no component units included in the Clerk's financial statements. (a) Fund Accounting The accounts of the Clerk are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures, as appropriate. Government resources are allocated to, and accounted for, in individual funds, based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The following fund types are utilized by the Clerk: Governmental Funds General Fund The General Fund is used to account for all revenues and expenditures applicable to the general operations of the Clerk, which are not properly accounted for in another fund. All operating revenues, which are not specifically restricted or designated as to use, are recorded in the General Fund. Excess revenues at the end of the year, due back to the Board of County Commissioners and the State of Florida, are shown as operating transfers out. Special Revenue Funds The Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specific purposes. III - 7

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Fiduciary Funds Agency Funds The Agency Funds are used to account for assets held by public officials in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other governments and/or other funds. (b) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation Governmental Funds CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2013 The General Fund and Special Revenue Funds are accounted for on a "spending" or "financial flow" measurement focus. This means that only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on the balance sheet. Accordingly, the reported undesignated fund balances (net current assets) art considered a measure of available, spendable or appropriable resources. General operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Fiduciary Funds Agency Funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of results of operations. Basis of Accounting Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The modified accrual basis of accounting is followed by all funds. The modification in such method from the accrual basis is that revenues are recorded when they become measurable and available to finance operations of the current year. Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related fund liability is incurred. Exceptions to this general rule include: 1. Principal and interest on general long-term debt, which is recognized when due; and 2. Expenditures are not divided between years by the recording of prepaid expenses. III - 8

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (b) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (continued) Budgetary Process CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2013 Chapter 218, Florida Statutes, governs the preparation, adoption and administration process of the Clerk's annual budget. The Clerk's budget, however, is prepared in two parts. One portion relates to the State court system, including Recording, and is required to be filed with the State Court Administrator. The remaining portion relates to the requirements of the Clerk as ex officio to the Board, Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners, County Auditor and custodian, or treasurer, of all County funds. The budget for this portion is submitted to and approved by the Board of County Commissioners. However, the budget in total is required to be filed with the State Court Administrator. The annual budget serves as the legal authorization for expenditures. Expenditures cannot legally exceed the total amount budgeted for each fund. All budgets are prepared on the modified accrual basis. The level of control for appropriations is exercised at the functional level. Encumbrances Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is not employed by the Clerk. (c) Assets, Liabilities, and Equity Capital Assets Acquisitions of tangible personal property are recorded as expenditures in the General Fund at the time of purchase. These assets are reported to the Hendry County, Florida, Board of County Commissioners and are recorded in the government wide financial statements. Compensated Absences The Clerk's employees accumulate sick and annual leave based on the number of years of continuous service and other criteria. Upon termination of employment, employees generally receive payment for accumulated annual and sick leave. As of September 30, 2013, the Clerk had $88,053 in long-term compensated absences payable. This amount is reported in the government-wide financial statements of Hendry County, Florida. III - 9

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (c) Assets, Liabilities, and Equity (continued) CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2013 Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards Board No. 16, "Accounting for Compensated Absences", requires the compensated absences liability to be measured using the salary rate in effect at the balance sheet date and requires additional amounts to be accrued for certain salary related payments associated with the payment of compensated absences. The liability shown in the financial statements of Hendry County has been accrued in accordance with this criteria. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management of the Clerk to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenditures or expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fund Balances Assigned Assigned fund balances are constrained by the Clerk's intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. Unassigned Fund balance that has not been reported in any other classification. When both assigned and unassigned resources are available for use, it is the Clerk's policy to use assigned resources first, then unassigned resources as needed. New Accounting Standards Beginning with fiscal year 2013, the Clerk implemented GASB Statement No. 63; Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position. This statement requires a Statement of Fiduciary Net Position (rather than net assets) format which segregates deferred inflows and deferred outflows from assets and liabilities respectively. Specific items required to be broken out as deferred inflows or deferred outflows are discussed in GASB Statements 53 and 60. These items are Derivative Investments and Service Concession Arrangements respectively. None of these items affect the Clerk at this time. The other position of GASB Statement 63 is nomenclature. Statement No. 64; Derivative Instruments: Application of Hedge Accounting Termination Provisions is not applicable to the Clerk. III - 10

NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2013 During the fiscal year, the Clerk maintained deposits in interest-bearing savings and checking accounts. At September 30, 2013, the bank balance of all accounts was $1,554,331 and the book balance of deposits was $1,451,577. The Clerk had $535 of cash on hand at September 30, 2013. The deposits whose values exceeded the limits of federal depository insurance are entirely insured or collateralized pursuant to the Public Depository Security Act of the State of Florida, Chapter 280 of the Florida Statutes. The Clerk held no investments during the fiscal year. NOTE 3 - RETIREMENT PLAN Plan Description and Provisions The Clerk contributes to the Florida Retirement System (the "System"), a cost-sharing multiple employer PERS defined benefit pension plan controlled by the State Legislature and administered by the Florida Department of Administration, Division of Retirement. The System provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, a health insurance subsidy, and survivor benefits to plan members and beneficiaries, respectively. The System was established in 1970 by Chapter 121, Florida Statutes. Changes to the law can be made only by an act of the Florida Legislature. Rules governing the operations and administration of the System may be found in Chapter 60S of the Florida Administrative Code. The Florida Retirement System Annual Report is a document printed for members of the Legislature and the public, reflecting the financial operation and condition of the state-administered retirement systems. The publication contains financial statements, actuarial comments, investment information, and statistical data on the System. A copy can be obtained by writing to Division of Retirement, Research, Education, & Policy Section, 2639-C North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1560. Funding Policy Presently, the System requires contributions from covered members of 3% of gross wages. The current rates, based on employees gross earnings, are regular employees, 6.95%; senior management, 18.31%; DROP participants, 12.84%; and elected officials, 33.03%. The contribution requirements of the Clerk are established and may be amended by the State Legislature. The Clerk's contributions to the System for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 were $77,249 equal to the required contributions. III - 11

CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2013 NOTE 4 - CONTINGENCIES The Clerk is involved from time to time in certain routine litigation, the substance of which as other liabilities for recoveries, would not materially affect the financial position of the Clerk.

The Hendry County, Florida, Board of County Commissioners maintains a self-insurance internal service fund to administer insurance activities relating to employee health insurance, life insurance, general liability, automobile liability and workers' compensation. Also, the Board carries excess insurance coverage for workers' compensation. Charges to operating departments are based upon amounts believed by management to meet the required annual payout during the fiscal year and to pay for the estimated operating costs of the program and for premiums for third party carrier insurance plans. For fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, the Clerk was charged $263,450. NOTE 6 - GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT The following changes in general long-term debt occurred during the year ended September 30, 2013: Long-term debt payable at October 1, 2012 $ 92,457 Increase in accrued compensated absences (4,404) Long-term debt payable at September 30, 2013 $ 88,053 General long-term debt is comprised of the following: Noncurrent portion of compensated absences.

366 East Olympia Avenue Punta Gorda, Florida 33950 Phone: 941.639.6600 Fax: 941.639.6115 Independent Auditor's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Special-Purpose Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards Honorable Barbara S. Butler Hendry County Clerk of the Circuit Court LaBelle, Florida 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 special-purpose financial statements of each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Hendry County, Florida, Clerk of the Circuit Court, (the "Clerk") as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, and the related notes to the special-purpose financial statements, which collectively comprise the Clerk's special-purpose financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated June 17, 2014. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the special-purpose financial statements, we considered the Clerk's internal 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 special-purpose financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Clerk s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Clerk s 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 combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's specialpurpose 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.

Butler Clerk of the Circuit Court Hendry County, Florida We have audited the special-purpose financial statements of the Hendry County, Florida, Clerk of the Circuit Court (the Clerk ), as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, and have issued our report thereon dated June 17, 2014.

We have also issued our Independent Auditor's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Compliance and Other Matters. Disclosures in that report which is dated June 17, 2014, should be considered in conjunction with this management letter.
