INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT Board of Trustees National Multiple Sclerosis Society Delaware Chapter We have audited the accompanying financial statements of National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Delaware Chapter (a nonprofit organization) which comprise the statements of financial position as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to the financial statements. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Delaware Chapter as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2014 and 2013 (1) ORGANIZATION The National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Delaware Chapter (the "Chapter") is a nonprofit organization which raises funds in the Delaware area to provide services to people with multiple sclerosis, support multiple sclerosis research through its national organization and educate the public about the impact of multiple sclerosis. Objectives include locating people with the disease, determining their needs, meeting those needs to the extent feasible and bringing clients into contact with existing community agencies which can assist in filling those needs. (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Accounting The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and, accordingly, reflect all significant receivables, payables and other liabilities. Financial Statement Presentation The Chapter reports information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets as follows: Unrestricted net assets Net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed restrictions and, therefore, are fully available at the discretion of management and the Board of Trustees for the Chapter to utilize in any of its program or supporting services. Temporarily restricted net assets Net assets that are subject to donor-imposed restrictions that will be satisfied by actions of the Chapter and/or the passage of time. When a restriction is satisfied, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statements of activities as net assets released from restrictions. Permanently restricted net assets Net assets that are subject to donor-imposed restrictions that such assets be maintained in perpetuity but permit the Chapter to expend all or a portion of the income derived from the donated assets. There were no permanently restricted net assets as of September 30, 2014 and 2013. Accounting Estimates In preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. -8-
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2014 and 2013 Fair Value Measurements of Assets and Liabilities Generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Chapter. Unobservable inputs reflect the Chapter's assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows: Level 1 Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Chapter has the ability to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these assets and liabilities does not require a significant degree of judgment. Level 2 Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable, that is, inputs that reflect the Chapter's own assumptions. The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Chapter believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Chapter considers highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Chapter had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2014 and 2013. Investments Investments in marketable securities with readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt securities are reported at fair value with gains and losses included in the statements of activities. Donated securities are recorded as contributions at their fair value at date of receipt. Interest and dividend income is recorded as earned. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Donated property and equipment is recorded as contributions at fair value as of the date of receipt. Depreciation of furniture and equipment is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the leasehold assets, not exceeding the remaining term of the lease. Special Event Revenue and Expenses Special event revenue and expenses are recognized during the period in which the related event occurs. Accordingly, revenue received in advance for special events that are held subsequent to year-end is deferred and expenses paid in advance for special events that are held subsequent to year end are included in prepaid expenses. -9-
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2014 and 2013 During 2014 and 2013, the Chapter received approximately 55% and 64% of its total public support and revenue in connection with two special events. Contributions and Grants from Government Agencies Contributions and grants from government agencies received are recorded as unrestricted, temporarily restricted or permanently restricted net assets depending on the absence or existence and nature of any donor restrictions. Donor-restricted contributions and grants from government agencies whose restrictions are satisfied in the same period are reported as unrestricted support. Unconditional contributions and grants from government agencies are recognized as revenue when the related promise to give is received. Conditional contributions and grants from government agencies are recognized as revenue when the conditions are satisfied. Contributions and other receivables consist primarily of public support for special events held before year end and are recorded at their net realizable value. Donated Services and Materials The Chapter receives a significant amount of donated time from a substantial number of volunteers without compensation for its various program and supporting services. The financial statements do not reflect the value of these contributed services since they do not meet the criteria for recognition. The Chapter also receives donated materials, consisting primarily of direct benefit to donor items and promotional items, in connection with its special events. The donated materials are recorded as both public support and expenses in the accompanying statements of activities and functional expenses at their estimated value on the date of receipt. The Chapter received donated materials of $104,039 in 2014 and $120,050 in 2013. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $49,312 for 2013, all of which was donated advertising and public service announcements. There was no advertising expense in 2014. Functional Allocation of Expenses The costs of providing the program and supporting services have been presented on a functional basis in the statements of activities and functional expenses. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the program and supporting services benefited. Income Tax Status The Chapter qualifies as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and no liability or provision for federal income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Chapter and concluded that, as of September 30, 2014, there were no uncertain tax positions taken or are expected to be taken. Accordingly, no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Chapter is subject to audits by various taxing jurisdictions; however, no audit for any tax period is currently in progress. Management believes that the Chapter is no longer subject to such audits for years ended on or prior to September 30, 2010. -10-
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2014 and 2013 Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Chapter to concentration of credit risk include cash and contributions and other receivables. The Chapter maintains its cash in a non-interest bearing account at one local financial institution. At times, the balance in this account may exceed federally-insured limits. The Chapter has not experienced any losses on its cash account and the Chapter believes that it will not be exposed to significant credit risk.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2014 and 2013 (8) TRANSACTIONS WITH NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS The National Multiple Sclerosis Society (the "Society") calculates the National Programs Expense, which funds research and other Society activities, for each Chapter in advance of the fiscal year after a complete review by the Budget Review Committee and National Board. The Chapter's National Programs Expense is calculated using the average of the previous two years' audited results as the revenue base. The remittance percentage is subject to adjustment each year to ensure that the Society meets its programmatic goals and that all donor restrictions are honored. The Chapter's National Programs Expense under this policy was calculated to be $772,846 for 2014 and $739,694 for 2013. By setting the Chapter's National Programs Expense in advance, the Chapters and the Home Office are in a better position to control resources through their respective budgeting and planning processes. During 2014, the Chapter received a subsidy of $350,000 from the Society in response to a cash flow shortage, resulting from reduced participation in the special events and employee severance costs. The subsidy of $350,000 is included in other miscellaneous revenue in the accompanying 2014 statement of activities.

As a result, the Chapter has experienced reductions in its net assets over the last several years. During 2014 and again in October 2014 (fiscal 2015) the Society provided subsidies to the Chapter amounting to $350,000 and $75,000, respectively, to assist with these declining cash flows. -13-
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2014 and 2013 The Chapter has implemented continued efforts to increase revenues and control expenses, however, the Chapter may be dependent upon continued additional financial support from the Society for the foreseeable future. The Society has communicated to Chapter management that it supports the ongoing viability of the Chapter and is committed to providing ongoing financial support to ensure the continuation of the important work the Chapter is doing to provide essential services to people living with multiple sclerosis. The Chapter is also exploring the opportunity to realign its activities with the Greater Delaware Valley Chapter resulting in the formation of a new Chapter. Such a merger would require Society approval and the consent of the Board of Trustees of both chapters. (11) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Management has evaluated subsequent events through December 6, 2014, the date on which the financial statements were available to be issued.
