INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

June 8, 2011

The Honorable Mayor and Members of the Borough Council Borough of Milford 30 Water Street P.O. Box 507 Milford, New Jersey 08848

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets - regulatory basis of the various funds and account group of the Borough of Milford in the County of Hunterdon, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations and changes in fund balance - regulatory basis for the years then ended, and the related statement of revenues - regulatory basis and statement of expenditures - regulatory basis of the various funds for the year ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Borough's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. Except as discussed below, we conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the audit requirements prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey, 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 includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Borough's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. As described in Note 1, these financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey, that demonstrates compliance with the modified accrual basis, with certain exceptions, and the budget laws of New Jersey, which practices differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The affect on the financial statements of the variances between the prescribed basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.

Honorable Mayor and Borough Council Borough of Milford June 8, 2011 Page 2

In our opinion, because of the Borough of Milford's policy to prepare its financial statements on the basis of accounting discussed in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Borough of Milford, New Jersey as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 or the results of its operation for the years then ended. However, in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position - regulatory basis of the various funds and account group of the Borough of Milford, New Jersey at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and the changes in fund balance - regulatory basis of such funds for the years then ended and the statement of revenues - regulatory basis, and statement of expenditures - regulatory basis for the year ended December 31, 2010, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1. In accordance with the Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated June 8, 2011 on our consideration of the Borough of Milford, New Jersey internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements of the Borough of Milford, State of New Jersey, taken as a whole. The accompanying supplementary information, schedules and exhibits listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, "Audits of States, Local Governments and Non-Profit Organizations"; and State Circular OMB 04-04, Single Audit Policy for Recipients of Federal Grants, State Grants and State Aid and are not a required part of the financial statements of the Borough of Milford, State of New Jersey. Such information has been subject to auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1.

BOROUGH OF MILFORD, N.J.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The GASB Codification establishes seven fund types and two account groups to be used by governmental units when reporting financial position and results of operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The financial statements of the Borough of Milford have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles and practices prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey (the "Division") which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such principles and practices are designed primarily for determining compliance with legal provisions and budgetary restrictions and as a means of reporting on the stewardship of public officials with respect to public funds. Under this method of accounting, the Borough accounts for its financial transactions through separate funds which differ from the fund structure required by GAAP. The Borough of Milford (the "Borough") operates under a Mayor/Council form of government. The Borough's major operations include public safety, road repair and maintenance, sanitation, fire protection, recreation and parks, health services, water utility and sewer utility and general administrative services. GASB has issued Statement No. 14 which requires the financial reporting entity to include both the primary government and those component units for which the primary government is financially accountable. Financial accountability is defined as appointment of a voting majority of the component unit's board, and either a) the ability to impose will be by the primary government, orb) the possibility that the component unit will provide a financial benefit to or impose a financial burden on the primary government. However, the municipalities in the State ofNew Jersey do not prepare financial statements in accordance with GAAP and thus do not comply with all of the GASB pronouncements. The financial statements contained herein include only those boards, bodies, officers or commissions as required by NJS 40A:5-5. Accordingly, the financial statements of the Borough do not include the volunteer fire department or volunteer first aid squad which are considered component units under GAAP. Complete financial statements of the above components can be obtained by contacting the Treasurer of the respective entity. A. Reporting Entity
