INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT Board of Directors Farm Sanctuary, Inc. Watkins Glen, New York We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Farm Sanctuary, Inc. (Farm Sanctuary), a nonprofit organization, which comprise the Statements of Financial Position as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, 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. -1CORTLAND ITHACA WATKINS GLEN 39 Church Street Cortland, New York 13045 607-753-7439 fax 607-753-7874 401 East State Street ~ Suite 500 Ithaca, New York 14850 607-272-4444 fax 607-273-8372 www.cdlm.com 108 West Fourth Street Watkins Glen, New York 14891 607-535-4443 fax 607-535-6220 Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Farm Sanctuary, Inc., as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, 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 DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Activities Farm Sanctuary, Inc. (Farm Sanctuary) was organized in Delaware in 1986 as a not-for-profit, nonstock corporation. Farm Sanctuary provides rescue and care for abused and neglected farm animals and provides adoption service and information on farm animal care, educates and disseminates information on farm animal issues, conducts cruelty investigations and assists authorities in farm animal cruelty cases, and monitors legislative action, working with legislators on federal and state bills. Farm Sanctuary is supported primarily through donor contributions and grants. In 2011, Farm Sanctuary, LLC (Limited Liability Corporation) was formed for the purpose of holding title to property that was transferred to Farm Sanctuary. Farm Sanctuary, LLC is a single member LLC with Farm Sanctuary being its single member. For tax and financial reporting purposes the LLC is considered a \"disregarded entity\" and all tax and financial information of the LLC is reported by Farm Sanctuary. 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 Farm Sanctuary complies with the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 958 \"Not-for-Profit Entities.\" Under FASB ASC 958, Farm Sanctuary Inc. is required to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently restricted net assets. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles includes the use of estimates that affect the financial statements. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Contributions Farm Sanctuary accounts for contributions in accordance with the recommendations of the FASB ASC 958 \"Not-for-Profit Entities.\" Under FASB ASC 958, contributions received are recorded as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted support, depending on the existence or nature of any donor restrictions. Contributions restricted by the donor are reported as increases in unrestricted net assets if the restrictions expire in the reporting period in which the support is recognized. All other donor-restricted contributions are reported as increases in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets, depending on the nature of the restriction. When a restriction expires (that is when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished), temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the Statement of Activities as net assets released from restrictions. Property and Equipment All acquisitions of property and equipment and all expenditures for repairs, maintenance, and betterments costing $2,000 or more that materially prolong (one year or greater) the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Property and equipment are carried at cost or, if donated, at the approximate fair value at the date of donation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over three to 39 years. -8- FARM SANCTUARY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012 Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, Farm Sanctuary considers all unrestricted highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Investments Investments consist of U.S. Savings Bonds, U.S. Treasury Notes, corporate bonds, equities, mutual funds, and certificates of deposit with original maturities greater than three months and are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are included in the change in net assets in the accompanying Statements of Activities. Inventory Valuation Inventory is stated at cost of quantity on hand. Donated Services A substantial number of volunteers have donated significant amounts of time, services, and materials on Farm Sanctuary's behalf. The value of this contributed time and services has not been reflected in the financial statements, inasmuch as they do not meet the criteria for recognition under FASB ASC 958. Donated services are recognized as contributions in accordance with FASB ASC 958 \"Not-for-Profit Entities,\" if the services (a) create or enhance non-financial assets or (b) required specialized skills, are performed by people with those skills, and would otherwise be purchased by the organization. In 2013, $83,055 in donated legal services were reported; no donated services were reported in prior years. Income Tax Status Farm Sanctuary is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, Farm Sanctuary qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170(b)(1)(A) and has been classified as an organization other than a private foundation under Section 590(a)(2). Farm Sanctuary's Forms 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, for the periods ending September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they were filed. Donated Assets Donated marketable securities and other noncash donations are recorded as contributions at estimated fair value at the date of donation. Functional Allocation of Expenses The costs of providing various programs and other activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the Statements of Activities and in the Statements of Functional Expenses. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting services benefited. Certain categories of expenses, such as banking, investment, and card fee, technology, and legal, have been allocated differently in 2013; the 2012 presentation was not updated. Designation of Unrestricted Net Assets Board designated net assets in 2012 included a shelter reserve created by the Board of Directors. This specific portion of the Organization's broader reserve was eliminated in 2013. Evaluation of Subsequent Events Farm Sanctuary has evaluated event transactions occurring between December 31, 2013 and August 27, 2014, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued, for possible disclosure and recognition in the financial statements. -9- FARM SANCTUARY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012 Note 2 - Concentration of Credit Risk Farm Sanctuary maintains cash balances at several financial institutions. From time to time, Farm Sanctuary may have bank deposits in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limits. Note 3 - Investments Investments consisted of the following at December 31,: Cost Stocks on hand Corporate bonds U.S. Savings Bonds Equity mutual funds Equities Gov't and agency securities $ 616 1,084,780 13,648 907,298 2,197 1,698,479 $ $ 3,707,018 $ Cost Stocks on hand Corporate bonds U.S. Savings Bonds Equity mutual funds Certificates of deposit $ 616 2,422,289 13,648 703,436 175,568 $ $ 3,315,557 $ 2013 Fair Value 814 1,080,907 17,272 935,703 2,197 1,679,312 Unrealized Gain (Loss) $ 198 (3,873) 3,624 28,405 -0(19,167) 3,716,205 $ 2012 Fair Value 671 2,483,576 17,152 809,396 185,813 Unrealized Gain (Loss) $ 55 61,287 3,504 105,960 10,245 3,496,608 $ 9,187 181,051 The fair value of certificates of deposit is estimated by the investment broker/dealer using a matrix based on interest rates and penalties for early withdrawal. The estimated fair value may not reflect the actual price that would be received if the certificates of deposit were to be sold prior to maturity. Market Risk Future changes in market prices may make a financial instrument less valuable. Ownership interest is subject to the risk of loss from a decrease in value due to interest rate fluctuations which may result in a decline that is other than temporary. Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements FASB ASC 820, \"Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,\" establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 Measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 Measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are as follows: Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Farm Sanctuary has the ability to access. - 10 - FARM SANCTUARY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012 Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; Inputs derived principally from or corroborated observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. The asset's or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of The Humane Society of the United States and Affiliates (the Society) which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of activities and changes in net assets, functional expenses and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit 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 consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. 1 Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Humane Society of the United States and Affiliates as of December 31, 2013, and the changes in their net assets and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Report on Summarized Comparative Information We have previously audited The Humane Society of the United States and Affiliates' (the Society) 2012 consolidated financial statements, and we expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those audited financial statements in our report dated August 15, 2013. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited consolidated financial statements from which it has been derived.

The Humane Society Of The United States And Affiliates Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1. Nature Of Activities And Significant Accounting Policies Nature of activities: The Humane Society of the United States and Affiliates (collectively, the Society) is a not-for-profit organization whose primary purpose is the worldwide advancement of humane treatment of animals through public education, awareness, and direct animal care programs. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the activities of the following entities: The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) Doris Day Animal League (DDAL) The Fund for Animals (FFA) Humane Society International, Inc. (HSI) Humane Society University (HSU) Humane Society Veterinarians Medical Association (HSVMA) South Florida Wildlife Center, Inc. (SFWC) Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust (WLT) A summary of the Society's significant accounting policies follows: Basis of accounting: The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, whereby revenue is recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred. Principles of consolidation: All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Basis of presentation: The financial statement presentation follows the recommendations of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification). As required by the Non-Profit Entities Topic of the Codification, the Society is required to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently restricted net assets. Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include all short-term, highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. At December 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents consisted of checking accounts and money market accounts. Investments: Investments with readily determinable fair values are reflected at fair market value. To adjust the carrying value of investments, unrealized gains and losses are reported in the consolidated statement of activities and changes in net assets as other changes in net assets. Financial risk: The Society maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Society has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Society believes it is not exposed to any significant financial risk on cash. The Society invests in a professionally managed portfolio that contains mutual funds, corporate bonds, government securities, hedge funds, partnerships, equity securities, private equity funds and other investments. Such investments are exposed to various risks, such as market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with such investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of such investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term could materially affect investment balances and the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. 7 The Humane Society Of The United States And Affiliates Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1. Nature Of Activities And Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Contributions and bequests receivable: Contributions and bequests receivable are carried at original amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a quarterly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using the historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. The provision for doubtful accounts was $297,927 at December 31, 2013. Property and equipment: Property and equipment with a cost of $5,000 or more are capitalized. Donated property is recorded at fair value or donor's basis at the time of donation, if fair value cannot be reasonably estimated. Donated land conservation easements are recorded at $1. Improvements to property and equipment that extend the useful lives of the assets are also capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Valuation of long-lived assets: The Society accounts for the valuation of long-lived assets by reviewing such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the long-lived asset is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reportable at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. There were no impairments of long-lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2013. Support and revenue: Contributions received are recorded as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted support, depending on the existence and/or nature of any donor restrictions. All donor-restricted support is reported as an increase in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets, depending on the nature of the restriction. When a restriction expires (that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished), temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the consolidated statement of activities and changes in net assets as net assets released from restrictions. Bequests: Individual unrestricted bequests in excess of $25,000 are recognized as revenue in the undesignated net assets at the rate of 20% and in the board designated investment fund net assets at the rate of 80% in the year of receipt. The 80% reported as revenue in the board designated net assets is transferred to the undesignated net assets equally over the following four years. The effect of this policy is to apportion individual bequests to the undesignated net assets over a five-year period. This policy applies only to The Humane Society of the United States entity. In-kind contributions: The Society produces and distributes public service television, radio, and newspaper announcements that focus attention on Companion Animal and Wildlife issues. These public service announcements are distributed to radio stations and newspapers nationwide and run free of charge. The Society has contracted with an independent outside agency to track the date and time that each public service announcement runs, and the value of the announcements is based on the date, time, and market. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Society recorded $22,943,791 of contributed public service announcements. The Society also receives donations of in-kind services, as well as donations of equipment and supplies in the daily operations of its programs. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Society received $3,408,804 in donated services and $278,476 in donated equipment and supplies. Use of estimates: In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 8 The Humane Society Of The United States And Affiliates Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1. Nature Of Activities And Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Tax status: HSUS, FFA, HSI, HSU, HSVMA, SFWC, and WLT qualify under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and are classified as organizations that are not private foundations. DDAL qualifies under Section 501(c)(4) of the IRC. Therefore, the Society is generally not subject to tax under present income tax laws; however, any unrelated business income may be subject to federal and state income taxes. The Society had no net unrelated business income for the year ended December 31, 2013. Management evaluated the Society's tax positions and concluded that the Society has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the consolidated financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. Generally, the Society is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state, or local tax authorities for years before 2010. Hedge funds, fund of funds and private equity funds: Investments in hedge funds, fund of funds, partnerships, and private equity funds are valued at net asset value, which estimates fair value. The funds value securities and other financial instruments on a fair value basis of accounting. The estimated fair values of certain investments of the funds, which may include private placements and other securities for which prices are not readily available, are determined by the management of the respective fund and may not reflect amounts that could be realized upon immediate sale nor amounts that could be ultimately realized. Accordingly, the estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for these investments. The fair value of the Society's investments in hedge funds, fund of funds, partnerships, and private equity funds generally represents the amount the Society would expect to receive if it were to liquidate its investments in the funds and notes, excluding any redemption charges that may apply. Functional allocation of expenses: Program and supporting services have been presented on a functional basis in the consolidated statement of activities and changes in net assets and the consolidated statement of functional expenses. Certain overhead costs have been allocated among program services, management and general, and fundraising. Fair value of financial instruments: The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, contributions, bequests and other receivables, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Investments are stated at fair value. Prior year information: The consolidated financial statements include certain prior year summarized comparative information in total but not by net asset class. Such information does not include sufficient detail to constitute a presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with the Society's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, from which the summarized information was derived. Reclassifications: Certain items in the December 31, 2012, summarized comparative information have been reclassified to conform to the December 31, 2013, consolidated financial statement presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported change in net assets or net assets. Humane Society University: In December 2013, the Society made the determination that it was no longer practical to continue to operate Humane Society University (HSU) due to increase regulations related to online learning opportunities, shortfalls in growth expectation and shortfalls in revenue. The Society has outlined a plan for individuals currently enrolled in classes at HSU to complete their degree programs. HSU is expected remain open in a limited capacity through 2017. No expenses were qualified to be recognized in 2013 for the discontinued operations. 9 The Humane Society Of The United States And Affiliates Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1. Nature Of Activities And Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Subsequent events: The Society evaluated subsequent events through October 14, 2014, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. In May 2014, the Society and the Fund for Animals settled an animal protection lawsuit and a related defensive action involving a consortium of animal charities for $5.675 million, net of all proceeds received from parties involved in the litigation and related settlements. As this suit relates to actions taken in 2013 and prior years, the corresponding damages have been recorded in these financial statements. The Society expects that all or a portion of net damages will be recovered from insurance proceeds. Such insurance proceeds will be recognized in the year received. Note 2. Contributions, Bequests And Other Receivables Contributions, bequests, and other receivables (excluding note receivable) consist of the following at December 31, 2013: Bequests Contributions and other receivables Capital campaign Grants $ 9,033,602 6,895,564 138,333 798,852 16,866,351 Less allowance for uncollectible contributions and bequests (5%) Less discount on multi-year contributions and bequests (2.75%) Total contributions, bequests, and other receivables, net (297,927) (22,320) $ 16,546,104 Contributions, bequests and other receivables are expected to be collected in: Less than one year One to five years Note 3. $ 13,666,595 3,199,756 $ 16,866,351 Property And Equipment Property and equipment and accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2013, and depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2013, consist of the following: Accumulated Useful Life Land Buildings and improvements - Cost $ 12,869,858 Depreciation $ - Net $ 12,869,858 Depreciation $ - 10 to 40 years 21,734,023 10,650,168 11,083,855 1,123,107 5 years 3,594,591 2,785,769 808,822 307,728 Office furniture and equipment Construction in progress Automobiles - 800,977 5 years - 2,241,912 $ 41,241,361 10 800,977 1,867,849 $ 15,303,786 - 374,063 $ 25,937,575 184,694 $ 1,615,529 The Humane Society Of The United States And Affiliates Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements Note 4. Accounts Payable And Accrued Expenses Accounts payable and accrued expenses consist of the following at December 31, 2013: Accounts payable Accrued vacation Accrued wages Other accrued expenses Note 5. $ 14,774,519 2,005,255 991,350 6,100,278 $ 23,871,402 Annuities And Unitrusts The annuities and unitrusts liability represents the future annuity payments due under charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder unitrusts determined by an actuary. Under the charitable gift annuities, donors make contributions to the Society, for which they receive an annuity from the Society. Contributions revenue is recognized as the excess of the fair value of assets received over the net present value of the future annuity payments due. The liability was determined using the Annuity Table of Mortality 90CM and assumed interest rates of 1.0% to 10.2% by an actuary. A portion of the monies received from these split-interest agreements is required by law to be reserved for making the annuity payments. The amount required to be reserved as calculated by the actuary was $7,546,438. Under the charitable remainder unitrusts, donors make contributions to the Society that remain in trust until a stipulated event, at which time, the remaining trust balance conveys to the Society for unrestricted use. The gifts are valued at their fair market value at the time of the gift. In consideration of the gifts, donors receive an annuity from the trust based on the lesser of (a) the trust principal multiplied by a stated interest rate or (b) the actual earnings of the trust. The future liability was calculated using assumed interest rates of 5.0% to 11.6%. At December 31, 2013, the amount of assets held in charitable unitrusts, which is restricted for the payment of related annuities, was $704,134. The net assets of the trusts of $719,591 are included in temporarily restricted net assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Note 6. Severance Plan (Employment Longevity Retirement Enhancement Benefit) The Society established The Humane Society of the United States Severance Pay Plan on September 13, 1997, to grant severance benefits to eligible employees. These benefits and related expenses are paid from the general assets of the Society. Only employees hired in full- or part-time positions before January 1, 1998, who have completed a minimum of 15 years of continuous full-time employment with HSUS, are eligible to become participants in this plan. Upon termination of employment (for reasons other than gross misconduct), a participant receives a lump sum equal to 2% of the average of his or her annual base salary for the three calendar years before cessation of employment, multiplied by the number of years of continuous full-time employment accrued by the employee, subject to a maximum benefit of two years base salary. The benefit obligation as of December 31, 2013, was calculated by an actuary, based on a census provided by the Society, using an assumed discount rate of 4.11% and an assumed compensation increase of 4%. The amount of the liability for future severance was $1,384,738. 11 The Humane Society Of The United States And Affiliates Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements Note 7. Deferred Compensation Plan In 1983, the Society established The Humane Society of the United States Deferred Compensation Plan for certain executive employees. The Society and the participants may elect to defer a portion of the compensation that the participants would otherwise be entitled to receive in cash, and those deferrals are invested in various mutual funds. The mutual funds are owned by the Society, subject to the claims of its general creditors. The obligation of the Society under this plan is purely contractual and is not secured. All income earned by the mutual funds is added to the deferred compensation liability. The amounts deferred by participants during the year ended December 31, 2013, which were included in the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as salaries, totaled $18,966. The deferred compensation plan assets and the related liability totaled $262,771 at December 31, 2013. Note 8. Retirement Plan The Humane Society of the United States Pension Plan (the Plan) is a qualified participating defined benefit plan that provides regular employees of the Society benefits equal to 2% of earnings for each year of credited service, up to a maximum of 25 years. Participants accrue benefits over the years of their employment, although normal pension benefits are not payable until age 65. Participants choosing earlier payment receive substantially reduced benefits. Effective December 31, 2007, any employees hired on or after January 1, 2008, are not eligible to participate in the Plan. The following table summarizes the accumulated pension benefit obligation, the fair value of Plan assets, and the funded status of the Plan at December 31, 2013: Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation, beginning of fiscal year Service cost Interest cost Participant contributions Benefit payments Administrative expenses Actuarial loss Benefit obligation, end of fiscal year $ 38,311,718 1,018,928 1,462,411 213,409 (2,269,640) (13,184) (313,905) $ 38,409,737 Change in Plan assets: Fair value of Plan assets, beginning of fiscal year Employer contributions Participant contributions Benefit payments Administrative expenses Actual return on Plan assets Fair value of Plan assets, end of fiscal year $ 28,200,360 2,400,000 213,409 (2,269,640) (13,184) 3,045,877 $ 31,576,822 Funded status, end of fiscal year $ (6,832,915) The Plan had an accumulated benefit obligation of $34,441,303 as of December 31, 2013. The accumulated benefit obligation is identical to the postretirement benefit obligation, with the exception that the accumulated benefit obligation does not consider the effects of future compensation levels. 12 The Humane Society Of The United States And Affiliates Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements Note 8. Retirement Plan (Continued) Amounts recognized in Plan assets at December 31, 2013, not yet reported as net periodic benefit cost (expense), are $11,056,677. The Society expects to amortize $901,963 of the net loss into net periodic benefit cost in 2014. The following assumptions were used by the actuary in determining the Society's pension benefit obligation as of December 31, 2013: Weighted-average discount rate Weighted-average rate of compensation increase Expected long-term rate of return on Plan assets 4.40% 3.50% 6.75% The basis for the expected long-term rate of return on Plan assets for the year is based on a five-year rolling average of actual investment returns realized, further adjusted for anticipated future rates of return. Expected cash flow information for the years after the current fiscal year is as follows: Expected employer contributions $ Year 1 expected benefit payments Year 2 expected benefit payments Year 3 expected benefit payments Year 4 expected benefit payments Year 5 expected benefit payments Years 6 - 10 expected benefit payments 2,400,000 5,403,697 3,306,122 3,663,055 3,292,897 2,953,395 14,150,087 See Note 17 for information on the fair value of the Plan assets. Note 9. Line Of Credit The Society has a $20 million line of credit with Bank of New York Mellon. The line of credit accrues interest at the LIBOR Market Index Rate for one-month U.S. dollars plus 65 basis points. The line of credit is secured by certain investments of the Society. There was no outstanding balance at December 31, 2013, and no advances or payments made during 2013. Note 10. Contingencies The Society is a party to a number of lawsuits. Liability, if any, associated with these matters is not presently determinable. In the opinion of management, resolution of these matters should not have a material effect on the Society's financial position. 13 The Humane Society Of The United States And Affiliates Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements Note 11. Unrestricted Net Assets Unrestricted net assets are available to finance the general operations of the Society. The only limits on the use of unrestricted net assets are the broad limits resulting from the nature of the Society, the environment in which it operates, and the purposes specified in its articles of incorporation. Voluntary resolutions by the Society's directors to designate a portion of its unrestricted net assets for specified purposes do not result in restricted funds. Since designations are voluntary and may be reversed by the governing board at any time, designated net assets are included with unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are held by the following funds at December 31, 2013: Board designated: Investment fund Endowment fund Black Beauty Ranch Total board designated Undesignated Total unrestricted net assets Note 12. $ 83,173,381 274,892 776,066 84,224,339 73,440,990 $ 157,665,329 Temporarily Restricted Net Assets Temporarily restricted net assets result from gifts of cash and other assets with donor-imposed restrictions as to (a) support of particular operating activities, (b) investment for a specified term, (c) use in a specified future period, or (d) acquisition of long-lived assets. Changes in temporarily restricted net by restriction purpose during 2013 were as follows: Balance December 31, 2012 Unitrusts Animal welfare programs Scholarships Support of other humane organizations Endangered Species Doris Day Animal League Fund for Animals Humane Society International Humane Society University Humane Society Veterinarians Medical Association South Florida Wildlife Center Wildlife Land Trust $ $ 987,680 13,889,907 15,245 511,578 2,282,825 4,535,939 9,202,088 1,668,701 850 55,713 307,653 4,988,860 38,447,039 14 Released From Restriction Additions $ $ 84,060 10,284,118 2,278 188,028 2,374,980 8,693,217 2,089,501 31,133 27,531 3,696,480 7,634,204 35,105,530 $ $ 12,404,669 3
