TI WISS ACCOUNTANTS CONSULTANTS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT The Chainnan and Members of the Middlesex County Joint Health Insurance Fund County of Middlesex New Brunswick, New Jersey Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying basic financial statements of the Middlesex County Joint Health Insurance Fund, County of Middlesex, State of New Jersey (the "Fund"), as of and for the year ended December 31, 20 12, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Fund'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 an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The prior year summarized comparative information has been derived from the Fund's 201 1 financial statements and, in our report dated March 30, 20 12, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; aud it requirements as prescribed by the Department of Banking and Insurance, State of New Jersey; and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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 ofthe financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Fund'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 ofthe Fund'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 ofthe 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 respective financial position of the Fund as of December 31,2012, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance 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 as listed in the attached 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 an opinion on the 2012 basic financial statements of the Middlesex County Joint Health Insurance Fund. The accompanying supplementary information listed in the attached table of contents is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. The supplementary information listed in the attached table of contents is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been SUbjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. 2

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated April 9, 2013, on our consideration of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Governmental Auditing Standards in considering the Fund's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

~~~ WISS ACCOUNTANTS CONSULTANTS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' 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 The Chairman and Members ofthe Middlesex County Joint Health Insurance Fund County of Middlesex New Brunswick, New Jersey We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; audit requirements as prescribed by the Department of Banking and Insurance, State of New Jersey; and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the basic financial statements of the Middlesex County Joint Health Insurance Fund, County of Middlesex, State of New Jersey (the "Fund"), as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated April 9, 2013. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Fund'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 opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness ofthe Fund'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 a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Fund's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Fund's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with celiain provisions of laws, regulations and contracts, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards and audit requirements as prescribed by the Department of Banking and Insurance, State of New Jersey. 4 WI 55 & COMPANY, LLP 485C Route 1 South, Suite 250, Iselin, NJ 08830 Phone: 732.283.9300 Fax: 732.283.3436 ISELIN LIVINGSTON FLEMINGTON NEW YORK www.wiss.com

Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control or on compliance.

Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. Iselin, New Jersey April 9, 2013 u/.u.- <f" 4"~~ WISS & COMPANY, LLP 5

MIDDLESEX COUNTY JOINT HEALTH INSURANCE FUND Required Supplementary Information Management's Discussion and Analysis Unaudited Year ended December 31,2012 Introduction As Executive Director for the Middlesex County Joint Health Insurance Fund (the "Fund"), we offer this narrative overview and analysis of the Fund's financial activities as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012. The intent of this discussion and analysis is to look at the Fund's financial performance as a whole; readers should also review the basic financial statements, notes and additional information presented to enhance their understanding of the Fund's financial performance. Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is an element of Required Supplementary Information as required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Certain comparative information between the current year and the prior year is required to be presented in the MD&A. Mission In order to provide cost effective medical and prescription benefits to all eligible participants of the "Local Units" of Government in Middlesex County, the Fund was created in 1995. The Fund's purpose is to provide health care and/or prescription benefits to all eligible participants for medically necessary services covered. The Fund consists of seven county agencies within Middlesex County and provides health and/or prescription benefits for 4,623 active, retired, and COBRA members as of December 31, 2012. The objective of the Fund is to assist its member agencies in containing medical costs through: A. Implementation of an aggressive cost-containment management system. B. Volume purchase of specific aggregate reinsurance, as well as other administrative services. C. Negotiated hospital and provider discounts. D. Flexible benefit plan allowing member officials to negotiate changes with their employee bargaining units. E. Risk Management Information Systems to provide member officials with the data they need to make effective long range decisions. F. Independent experience rating based on exposure and claims. Overview of the Financial Statements The Fund is a self-administered group of Middlesex County agencies established for the purpose of providing self-funded employee health and/or prescription benefits for the member agencies and follows business-type activities and fund reporting as an enterprise fund. The Fund's financial statements are presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with standards prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The enterprise fund statements reflect short-term and long-term fmancial information related to the activities and operations of the Fund and are presented in a manner similar to a private business. See the notes to the basic financial statements for a summary of the Fund's significant accounting policies. 6

Health and Prescription Insurance Plans The Fund offered five health plans to members in 2012; a Traditional Indemnity Plan, a Point of Service Plan, two HMO plans, and a PPO plan. The Traditional and Point of Service Plans are self-insured with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey as claim payer and network provider. HMO plans are selfinsured through CIGNA and Aetna. The Oxford PPO plan is fully insured. Effective January 1, 2012, the Fund offered prescription drug coverage to the County, Social Services and the Middlesex County Utilities Authority through Medco. Prescription drug coverage is available through the plans for those entities that do not offer a stand-alone prescription plan for their employees. No dental coverage is provided by the Fund. Rates and Assessments The Fund rates for self-insured plans are developed on a prospective basis with assistance from outside actuaries and intended to cover expected claims and expenses incurred during a Fund Year. Rates for the fully insured HMO's are developed by the carrier. The Fund rate increases over the past three years were as follows: Plan 2012 Increase 2011 Increase 2010 Increase Traditional 8.7% 0.5% 19.0% Point of Service 8.7% 11.0% 8.0% CIGNA 5.7% 13.0% 3.0% Aetna 4.7% 8.5% 6.5% Oxford 13.0% 0.0% 10.4% MedcoRX nla nla n/a nla-new in 2012 The 8.7% increase shown for the Traditional and POS plans is a weighted average for the two Horizon plans. Rate relativity between Traditional and Choice was adjusted in 2012 in order to bring the rates in line with their true actuarial value. The change was necessary due to the impact of Chapter 78. Entities are assessed on a monthly basis based on the plans their employees select at each year's open enrollment and the rates established for each plan at the beginning of the calendar year. In the event rates for the self insured plan are insufficient to cover actual incurred costs during a Fund Year, entities can be assessed additional supplemental charges to cover the shortfall. Additional assessments were not required in any of the Fund years included within this report. Financial Highlights The Fund at December 31,2012 had a surplus (unrestricted net position) of$i,039,236, for the 2012 Year and $4,634,227 for the 2011 Year. The 2010 Year was closed during 2012, and the surplus of $896,299 was distributed in December 2012 to the participating entities and offset against their December 2012 payments. Fund operating revenue during the 2012 Year was $80,651,555 versus $56,559,617 for the 2011 Year. This increase was due to an increase in rates for 2012 of approximately 6% and implementing a prescription drug coverage plan that generated approximately $21 million in employer group health assessments revenue. Operating expenses incurred during 2012 were $78,787,594 versus $51,666,528 in 2011. This increase was attributable mainly to approximately $21 million in prescription drug coverage plan claims and due to an increase in the frequency and severity of self insured health claims. 7

Net Position The following schedule presents a summary of the Fund's assets, liabilities and net position at December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 and the increases and decreases in relation to 2011. Increase/ Percent (Decrease) Change 2012 2011 2010 from 2011 from 2011 Assets Cash and equivalents $ 9,844,089 $ 8,043,551 $ 5,175,627 $ 1,800,538 22.38% Assessments receivable 853,363 718,685 667,271 134,678 18.74% Prescription rebate receivable 1,403,616 1,403,616 100.00% Advance payments 1,122,947 973,241 740,076 149,706 15.38% Miscellaneous receivables 223,298 606,605 179,189 (383,307) -63.19% Prepaid expenses 18,396 16,522 17,112 1,874 11.34% Total assets 13,465,709 10,358,604 6,779,275 3,107,105 30.00% Liabilities IBNR reserves $ 6,670,709 $ 4,433,317 $ 4,487,843 $ 2,237,392 50.47% Accounts payable 1,002,764 1,150,686 770,568 (147,922) -12.86% Accrued expenses 116,901 69,594 97,912 47,307 67.98% Reserve for state unemployment insurance 1,872 1,695 1,523 177 10.44% Total liabilities 7,792,246 5,655,292 5,357,846 2,136,954 37.79% Net position $ 5,673,463 $ 4,703,312 $ 1,421,429 $ 970,151 20.63% Change in net position $ 970,151 $ 3,281,883 $ {810,569) The change in cash and equivalents is mainly the result of the timing of assessments received as compared to claims paid in 2012 as compared to 2011. Assessments receivable increased due to the increase in assessment rates for 2012 and represents two months payments due from Roosevelt Care Center. The prescription rebate receivable is due to the new prescription drug coverage plan the Fund implemented in 2012. The decrease in miscellaneous receivables is the result of non-recurring revenues from the federal government for the Early Retiree Reinsurance Program being earned but not received prior to December 31, 2011 and not awarded again in the 2012 fiscal year. The increase in the incurred but not reported claims reserves is the result of an additional $1,795,705 reserve for prescription claims which is new in 2012, as well as the result of the annual calculation performed by an independent actuary and is based upon history of claims incurred by the Fund. The decrease in accounts payable is the result of the timing of receipt of vendor invoices and related payments. The Fund maintained a stop loss coverage of $300,000 per claim for 2012 and 2011 for the Traditional and Point of Service Plans. CIGNA's stop loss coverage was $300,000 for 2012 and 2011. Aetna's stop loss coverage was $300,000 for 2012 and 2011. There were 4 claims (2 Horizon, 1 CIGNA and 1 AETNA) in excess of the stop loss limit for 2012 and 4 claims (4 Horizon, 0 CIGNA and 0 AETNA) for 2011. 8

Revenues. expenses and changes in net position The following schedule presents a summary of the Fund's revenues, expenses and changes in net position for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 and the increases and decreases in relation to 2011.

In 2012, the Fund also implemented a prescription drug coverage plan that generated approximately $21 million in group prescription assessments revenue and approximately $21 million in prescription claims, net of rebates. The change in miscellaneous revenues is the result of non-recurring revenues in 2011 from the federal government related to the Early Retiree Reinsurance Program. This revenue was a one-time revenue used to offset expenses and was not awarded again in the 2012 fiscal year. Health claims expense varies from year to year and showed an increase in 2012 attributable to increased frequency and severity of claims. Dividends paid represent amounts returned to the participants after a Fund year is closed out based upon the results of operations for the related fund year. Budget The Fund's budget and rates are prepared by the Fund's Professionals in advance of the Fund Year. It is presented to the Commissioners at the November Commissioners' meeting, and approved at the December meeting after considering public comments. Following is a ten year summary of the Fund's revenue and total costs. 9

Items Affecting the Future Annually, the Fund Commissioners approve an annual budget, which includes the annual assessments to be billed to each of the participating entities. On December 18, 2012, the Commissioners approved the 2013 budget that included an overall increase in assessments of 6.19% over 2012 for medical benefits. Effective January 1, 2012, the Fund first offered prescription drug coverage to the County, Social Services, and the Utilities Authority through MedcolExpress Scripts. The 2013 Fund budget also included an increase in assessments of 12.58% for prescription drug coverage. In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was passed by Congress and signed by President Obama. Prior to July 1, 2012, the Fund was considered a grandfathered plan under the provisions ofppaca. Due to the changes in the employee contribution schedule as mandated by Chapter 78, the Fund lost grandfathered status as of July 1,2012. The loss of grandfathered status mandated the Fund to provide 100% coverage for preventive care and an additional level of appeals processing. A 1.0% increase in trend for 2012 was included to reflect the effect of these changes. Other Possible Benefit Changes Provisions of PPACA mandate universal health insurance coverage in 2014 and the creation of Health Insurance Exchanges. These new provisions will have a minimal (if any) impact on the Fund. Employers are subject to a financial penalty if any employee with family income between 138% and 400% of the Federal Poverty Level obtains a premium tax credit and enrolls in the Exchange. In order to be eligible for a premium tax credit, the employer sponsored medical plan must provide a benefit level less than mandated by PPACA or the employee contribution for single coverage must exceed 9.5% of the employees W-2 earnings. The medical plans currently offered by the Fund far exceed the minimum required benefit levels as mandated by PPACA and it is unlikely that the contribution for single coverage will exceed 9.5% of W-2 earnings for a meaningful number of participants. The PP ACA requirement that employers provide notice to all employees regarding Health Insurance Exchanges by March 1, 2013 has been delayed until the Department of Labor, Health and Human Services or Treasury issues guidance. The Departments indicate they expect it will be late summer or early fall of 2013 before employers are required to provide this notice. Model notices and language will be forthcoming. 10

MIDDLESEX COUNTY JOINT HEALTH INSURANCE FUND NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accounting policies of the Middlesex County Joint Health Insurance Fund (the "Fund") conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) applicable to governmental enterprise units. The following summary of the more significant accounting policies is presented to assist the reader in interpreting the financial statements and other data in this report. These policies should be viewed as an integral part of the accompanying basic financial statements. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and fmancial reporting principles. Reporting Entity - The Fund was created in May of 1995 in accordance with P.L. 1983m C. 372 entitled "An act concerning joint insurance funds for local units of governments, and supplementing Chapter 10 of Title 40A of the New Jersey Statutes." The Fund is a self-administered group of Middlesex County agencies established for the purpose of providing self-funded employee health and/or prescription benefits for the member agencies. A participating agency may be terminated by a two-thirds vote of the Fund Commissioners for nonpayment of assessments or continued noncompliance after written notice to comply with the bylaws or noncompliance with risk management or underwriting standards or for other reasons subject to the prior approval of the Commissioners. Termination may occur only after proper notice has been given, in accordance with the Fund's bylaws. A participating member may withdraw before the end of its membership by giving proper notices and following required procedures at least (90) days before the date of withdrawal. The Administrator is responsible for the overall administration of the Fund. In evaluating how to defme the entity for fmancial reporting purposes, management considered whether the Fund is a component unit of another primary government and all potential component units of the Fund. The Fund's basic financial statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Fund. A review of other units of local government, using the criteria set forth in GAAP, indicates there are no additional entities or funds for which the Fund has reporting responsibilities. Management has determined the Fund should not be considered a part of any unit of local government for reporting purposes for the following reasons: 1) The Fund has separate legal standing from all other units of government. 2) No primary government appoints the vesting majority of the Fund's commissioners. The Fund consists of 7 county agencies within Middlesex County with a total of 4,623 employees and retirees participating as of December 31,2012. Each county unit assigns a commissioner to the Fund. The Commissioners elect the officers; a chairperson and a secretary for I-year terms. 3) The Fund is fiscally independent of all other units of local government. The Fund's Commissioners have the sole authority to determine fmancial programs and assess fees. 4) The financial statements of other units of local government would not be misleading or incomplete without the inclusion of the Fund's financial statements. Basis of Presentation and Accounting and Revenue Recognition - The Fund is a single-enterprise proprietary fund and uses the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Proprietary funds are used to account for operations that are financed in a manner similar to private business enterprise and that a periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred and/or change in net position is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability or other purposes. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned, and expenses are recognized as soon as they result in liabilities for the benefits provided. 15

MIDDLESEX COUNTY JOINT HEALTH INSURANCE FUND NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) The [mancial statements are prepared in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), Statement Number 34, Basic Financial Statements, Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments and related standards. In addition, on January 1, 2012, the Fund adopted GASB Statement Number 63, Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position. This Statement established standards for reporting deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources and net position. The adoption of this statement resulted in a change in the presentation of the statement of net assets to what is now referred to as the statement of net position and the term "net assets" is changed to "net position" throughout the financial statements. The Fund applies to all GASB pronouncements as well as Financial Accounting Standards Board (F ASB) statements and interpretations, Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinions, and Accounting Research Bulletins of the Committee on Accounting Procedure issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless these pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements. The Fund has elected not to follow FASB pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989 to its business-type activities and enterprise fund. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principle ongoing operations. The principle operating revenues of the Fund are assessments to the participating members. The assessments are determined and certified by the Fund's actuary and approved by a majority vote of the Fund Commissioners on an annual basis. Comparative Information - The Statement of Net Position, Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Fund Net Position and Statement of Cash Flows include certain prior year summarized comparative information that has been derived from the Fund's 2011 financial statements. Such information should be read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012. Cash and Equivalents - Cash and equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase. The Fund places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. Receivables and Payables - Receivables consist mainly of assessments to participating agencies and excess insurance recoveries. The fund uses reinsurance agreements to reduce its exposure to large losses on certain types of insured events. Reinsurance polices permit the recovery of a portion of losses from reinsurers, although it does not discharge the primary liability of the Fund as direct insurer of the risks reinsured. During the 2012 fiscal year, the Fund commenced a self-insured drug coverage prescription program. At December 31,2012, there is $1,403,616 recorded as a prescription rebate receivable for 2012 pharmacy incentive rebates due. Payables consist of mainly accounts payable to the participant insurance carriers for claims and administrative fees. Advance Payments - Advance payments consist mainly of amounts paid to insurance carriers in advance, which represent approximately seven to ten days of claims liabilities. 16

MIDDLESEX COUNTY JOINT HEALTH INSURANCE FUND NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) IBNR Reserve/Unpaid Claims Liabilities - The Fund establishes claim liabilities based on estimates of claims that have been incurred but not reported. The length of time for which such costs must be estimated varies depending on the coverage involved. Claims liabilities are recomputed periodically using a variety of actuarial and statistical techniques to produce current estimates that reflect recent settlements, claim frequency and other factors. These liabilities are subject to variability between estimated ultimate losses determined as described and the actual experience as it emerges, including the impact of future changes in claim severity and frequency and other factors. Adjustments to claims liabilities are charged or credited to operations in the periods in which they are made. Subsequent Events - Management has reviewed and evaluated all events and transactions from December 31,2012 through April 9, 2013, the date that the financial statements were available to be issued, for possible disclosure and recognition in the financial statements. The effects of those events and transactions that provide additional pertinent information about conditions that existed at the statement of net position date have been recognized in the accompanying financial statements. Note 2 - Cash and Equivalents and Investments The Fund is governed by the deposit and investment limitations of New Jersey state law (statutes). The deposits and cash and equivalents held at December 31, 2012, and reported at fair value are as follows: Deposits: Demand deposits Cash and equivalents: New Jersey Cash Management Fund New Jersey Asset and Rebate Management Program Reconciliation of Statement of Net Position Fund Year: 2012 2011 Total Reconciliation of Statement of Net Position Carrying Value $ 3,719,808 6,102,676 21,605 $ 9,844,089 $ 4,957,768 4,886,321 $ 9,844,089 Deposits Deposits in financial institutions, reported as components of cash and equivalents had a book balance of $3,719,808 and bank balance of $3,723,026 at December 31,2012. Of the bank balance, $250,000 was fully insured by the FDIC (Federal Depository Insurance Corporation) and $3,473,026 was secured by a collateral pool held by the bank, but not in the Fund's name, as required by New Jersey's Governmental Unit Deposit Protection Act (GUDPA). This amount does not include funds held with New Jersey Asset and Rebate Management Program ("NJARM") and New Jersey Cash Management Fund ("NJCMF"). The Governmental Unit Deposit Protection Act is more fully described in Note 3 of these financial statements. 17

MIDDLESEX COUNTY JOINT HEALTH INSURANCE FUND NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 Note 2 - Cash and Equivalents and Investments (continued) Pursuant to GASB Statement No. 40, "Deposit and Investment Risk Disclosures" ("GASB 40"), the Fund's operating cash accounts are profiled in order to determine exposure, if any, to Custodial Credit Risk (risk that in the event of failure of the counterparty the Fund would not be able to recover the value of its deposits and investments). Deposits are considered to be exposed to Custodial Credit Risk if they are: uncollateralized (securities not pledged to the depositor), collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution, or collateralized with securities held by the financial institution's trust department or agent but not in the government's name. The Fund does not have a policy for the management of custodial credit risk, other than depositing all of its funds in banks covered by GUDPA. At least five percent of the Fund's deposits were fully collateralized by funds held by the financial institution, but not in the name of the Fund. Due to the nature of GUDP A, further information is not available regarding the full amount that is collateralized. Investments In order to maximize liquidity, the Fund utilizes the NJCMF which is administered by the State of New Jersey, Department of the Treasury. It invests pooled monies from various State and non-state agencies in primarily short-term investments. These investments include: U.S. Treasuries, short-term Commercial Paper, U.s. Agency Bonds, Corporate Bonds, and Certificates of Deposit. Agencies that participate in the NJCMF typically earn returns that mirror short-term investments rates. Monies can be freely added or withdrawn from the NJCMF on a daily basis without penalty. All investments in the Fund are governed by the regulations of the Investment Council, which prescribes specific standards designed to ensure the quality of investments and to minimize the risks related to investments. In all the years of the Division of Investment's existence, the Division has never suffered a default of principal or interest on any short-term security held by it due to the bankruptcy of a securities issuer; nevertheless, the possibility always exists, and for this reason a reserve is being accumulated as additional protection for the "Other-than-State" participants. In addition to the Council regulations, the Division sets further standards for specific inyestments and monitors the credit of all eligible securities issuers on a regular basis. The fair value of the Fund's portion of the pool is the same as the value of its shares. At December 31,2012, the Fund had investments in the NJCMF in the amount of $6,102,676, which is classified as cash and equivalents and is considered uncategorized. In addition, the Fund utilizes the NJARM for investments, which is an investment pool managed by Public Financial Management Company. NJARM allows governments within the state to pool their funds for investment purposes and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) does not restrict the pool. Earnings are allocated to all participants based upon shares held in the pool and distributed on the last day of each month. In addition, the fair value of the Fund's portion of the pool is the same as the value of its shares. Agencies that participate in the NJARM typically earn returns that mirror short-term investments rates. Monies can be freely added or withdrawn from the NJARM on a daily basis without penalty. At December 31, 2012, the Fund had investments in the NJARM in the amount of $21,605, which is classified as cash and equivalents and is considered uncategorized. 18

MIDDLESEX COUNTY JOINT HEALTH INSURANCE FUND NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,2012 Note 2 - Cash and Equivalents and Investments (continued) Custodial Credit Risk - Pursuant to GASB 40, the NJCMF and NJARM, which are pooled investments, are exempt from custodial credit risk exposure. The Fund does not have a policy for custodial credit risk. Investment Interest Rate Risk - The Fund has no formal investment policy that limits investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. The average maturity of the Fund's investments, the NJCMF and NJARM, are less than one year. Concentration of Investment Credit Risk - The Fund places no limit on the amount it may invest in anyone issuer. At December 31,2012, all of the Fund's investments were invested in NJCMF and NJARM. Investment Credit Risk - The Fund does not have an investment policy regarding the management of credit risk. GASB 40 requires that disclosure be made as to the credit rating of all debt security investments except for obligations of the U.S. government or investments guaranteed by the U.S. government. The NJCMF and NJARM are not rated by a rating agency. The Fund has no investment policy that limits its investment choices other than the limitation of state law as follows: Bonds or other obligations of the United States of America or obligations guaranteed by the United States of America; Government money market mutual funds; Any obligations that a federal agency or federal instrumentality has issued in accordance with an act of Congress, which security has a maturity date not greater than 397 days from the date of purchase, provided that such obligations bear a fixed rate of interest not dependent on any index or other external factor; Bonds or other obligations of the Fund or bonds or other obligations of the local unit or units within which the Fund is located; Bonds or other obligations, having a maturity date of not more than 397 days from the date of purchase, approved by the Division of Investment in the Department of Treasury for investment by the Fund; Local Governments investment pools; Deposits with the State of New Jersey Cash Management Fund established pursuant to section 1 ofp.l. 1977, c281; or Agreements for the repurchase of fully collateralized securities with certain limitations. Note 3 - Governmental Unit Deposit Protection Act (GUDPA) The Fund has deposited cash in 2012 with an approved public fund depository qualified under the provisions of the Government Unit Deposit Protection Act. In addition to savings and checking accounts the Fund invests monies in certificates of deposits. The Governmental Unit Deposit Protection Act P.L. 1970, Chapter 236, was passed to afford protection against bankruptcy or default by a depository. In 2009, Chapter 326 ofthe Laws ofp.l. 2009 was signed into law to amend the previous act and became effective July 1,2010. C.17:9-42 provides that no governmental unit shall deposit funds in a public depository unless such funds are secured in accordance with this act. C.l7:9-42 provides that every public depository having public funds on deposit shall, as security for such deposits, maintain eligible collateral having a market value at least equal to either (1) 5% of 19

MIDDLESEX COUNTY JOINT HEALTH INSURANCE FUND NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,2012 Note 3 - Governmental Unit Deposit Protection Act (GUDPA) (continued) the average daily balance of collected public funds on deposit during the 6 month period ending on the next preceding valuation date (June 30 or December 31) or (2) at the election ofthe depository, at least equal to 5% of the average balance of collected public funds on deposit on the first, eighth, fifteenth, and twentysecond days of each month in the 6 month period ending on the next preceding valuation date (June 30 or December 31). No public depository shall be required to maintain any eligible collateral pursuant to this act as security for any deposit or deposits of any governmental unit to the extent such deposits are insured by F.D.I.C. or any other u.s. agency which insures public depository funds. No public depository shall at any time receive and hold on deposit for any period in excess of 15 days public funds of a governmental unit(s) which, in the aggregate, exceed 50% of the capital funds of the depository, unless such depository shall, in addition to the security required to be maintained under the paragraph above, secure such excess by eligible collateral with a market value at least equal to 100% of such excess. In the event of a default, the Commissioner of Banking within 20 days after the default occurrence shall ascertain the amount of public funds on deposit in the defaulting depository and the amounts covered by federal deposit insurance and certify the amounts to each affected governmental unit. Within 10 days after receipt of this certification, each unit shall furnish to the Commissioner verified statements of its public deposits. The Commissioner shall ascertain the amount derived or to be derived from the liquidation of the collateral maintained by the defaulting depository and shall distribute such proceeds pro rata among the governmental units to satisfy the net deposit liabilities to such units. If the proceeds of the sale of the collateral are insufficient to pay in full the liability to all affected governmental units, the Commissioner shall assess the deficiency against all other public depositories having public funds on deposit determined by a formula determined by law. All sums collected by the Commissioner shall be paid to the governmental units having deposits in the defaulting depository in the proportion that the net deposit liability to each such governmental unit bears to the aggregate the net deposit liabilities to all such governmental units. All public depositories are required to furnish information and reports dealing with public funds on deposit every six months, June 30 th and December 31 st, with the Commissioner of Banking. Any public depository which refuses or neglects to give any information so requested may be excluded by the Commissioner from the right to receive public funds for deposit until such time as the Commissioner shall acknowledge that such depository has furnished the information requested. Upon review and approval of the Certification Statement that the public depository complies with statutory requirements, the Commissioner issues forms approving the bank as a municipal depository. The Fund should request copies of these approval forms semiannually to assure that all depositories are complying with requirements. Note 4 - Claims Liabilities - mnr Reserves In order to recognize unpaid losses, as discussed in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, a reserve is calculated by Fund management and certified by the Fund's actuary, Samuel M. Kikla, FSA, MAAA,EA. 20

Note 5 - Reinsurance MIDDLESEX COUNTY JOINT HEALTH INSURANCE FUND NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,2012 The Fund also maintains contracts for excess insurance, covering losses in excess of an amount established between the Fund and the insurers up to the limits of coverage set forth in the contracts on a specific occurrence, per accident or annual aggregate basis. There was $136,791 of reinsurance receivables for the Fund Year Ended December 31,2012. A contingent liability exists with respect to reinsurance, which would become an actual liability in the event the reinsuring company might be unable to meet their obligations to the Fund under existing reinsurance agreements. Note 6 - Pension A. Plan Description The Middlesex County Joint Health Insurance Fund contributes to a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan, the Public Employees' Retirement System (P.E.R.S.), administered by the State of New Jersey, Division of Pensions and Benefits. It provides retirement, disability, medical and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The State of New Jersey P.E.R.S. program was established as of January 1, 1955. The programs were established under the provisions of NJ.S.A.43:15A, which assigns authority to establish and amend benefit provisions to the plan's board of trustees. Membership is mandatory for such employees and vesting occurs after 8 to 10 years of service. Members are eligible for retirement at age 55 with an annual benefit generally determined to be 1I55th of the average annual compensation for the highest three fiscal years' compensation for each year of membership during years of creditable service. Early retirement is available for these systems to those employees under age 55 participating in PERS with 25 or more years of credited service. Anyone who retires early and is under age 55 receives retirement benefits as calculated in the above mentioned formula but at a reduced rate (one quarter of one percent for each month the member lacks of attaining age 55). The State of New Jersey, Department of the Treasury, Division of Pensions and Benefits, issues a publicly available fmancial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information. That report may be obtained by writing to: State of New Jersey, Department of the Treasury, Division of Pensions and Benefits, P.O. Box 295, Trenton, NJ 08625-0295. B. Funding Policy The System's designated purpose is to provide retirement, death, disability and medical benefits to certain qualified members. Membership in the System is mandatory for substantially all full-time employees of the State of New Jersey or any county, municipality, school district or public agency, provided the employee is not required to be a member of another state-administered retirement system or other state or local jurisdiction. The System's Board of Trustees is primarily responsible for the administration of the System. According to the State of New Jersey administrative code, all obligations of the system will be assumed by the State of New Jersey should the System terminate.

Note 7 - Other Postemployment Benefits In June 2004, GASB issued Statement No. 45, (later amended by Statement No. 57), Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions. This Statement establishes standards of accounting and financial reporting for other post-employment benefits (OPEB) expense/expenditures and related OPEB liabilities or OPEB assets, note disclosures, and required supplementary infonnation (RSI) in the financial reports of state and local government employers. This Statement was effective for the year ended December 31, 2008 however; this GASB did not have a significant effect on the Fund as the individual participating entities record the applicable liabilities or assets, note disclosures and required supplementary information in their financial statements and they are not included in the financial statements of the Fund. Each applicable participating county entity/employer provides post-employment health benefits for its employees, which is annually assessed by the Fund to pay for the costs of those benefits. GASB 45 provided guidelines for reporting the OPEB costs within each employer's financial statements, which were actuarially calculated based on each entities plan benefits (other than pensions). Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation-Each participating entity's annual OPEB cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution of each employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB 45. The ARC represents the level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover the normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period of thirty years. The annual required contribution (ARC), net OPEB obligation and actuarially accrued liability for all entities participating in the Fund at December 31,2011 were approximately $72,469,000, $228,062,000 and $805,254,000, respectively. As permitted by the GASB, these actuarial calculations are performed every other year, with the next calculation expected as of December 31,2013. Each participating employer is required to disclose additional information with regard to funding policy, the employer's annual OPEB cost, contributions made, the funded status and funding progress and the actuarial methods and assumptions used. Note 8 - Contingent Liabilities The Fund is also involved in claims and lawsuits incidental to its operations. In the opinion of the administration and legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Fund. Note 9 - Additional Assessment The Commissioners of the Middlesex County Joint Health Insurance Fund have the authority by majority vote to levy on the participating local units an additional assessment to assure the payment of the Fund's obligations. No additional assessments were necessary during the 2012 fiscal year of the Fund. 22
