As of December 31, 2016 (unaudited) and for the Period from January 1, 2017 to December 29, 2017 (unaudited), the Year Ended December 31, 2016 (unaudited) and for the Periods from January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015 and July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Amboy Aggregates Joint Venture and Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated statement of net assets in liquidation as of December 31, 2015, and the related consolidated statement of changes in net assets in liquidation for the period from July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015, and the consolidated statements of operations and partners' capital and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015, and the related notes to the consolidated 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.

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.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets in liquidation of Amboy Aggregates Joint Venture and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015, and the changes in its net assets in liquidation for the period from July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the partners of Amboy Aggregates approved a plan of liquidation on July 1, 2015, and the Company determined liquidation is imminent. As a result, the Company changed its basis of accounting for periods subsequent to June 30, 2015 from the going concern basis to the liquidation basis. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

As of December 31, 2016 (unaudited) and for the Period from January 1, 2017 to December 29, 2017 (unaudited), the Year ended December 31, 2016 (unaudited) and for the Periods from January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015 and July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015

Amboy Aggregates (“Amboy” or the “Company”) was established on January 1, 1989 as an equal Joint Venture between Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company, LLC (“Great Lakes”) and Ralph Clayton and Sons Materials, L.P.

Amboy operated principally in one business segment which is to dredge, process, transport and sell fine aggregate in the New York Metropolitan area. Additionally, the liability of the members is limited to the members’ total equity.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Amboy and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintained its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. Accounts at these institutions were insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company ("FDIC") up to $250,000. As of December 29, 2017, the Company had distributed all remaining cash to the Joint Venture partners.

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or market.

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable. If facts and circumstances indicate that the Company's long-lived assets might be impaired, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the long-lived asset would be compared to its carrying amounts to determine if a write-down to fair value is necessary. If a write-down is required, the amount is determined by estimation of the present value of net discounted cash flows.

Costs incurred in connection with obtaining permits to dredge the Company's products are amortized on the straight-line basis over the term of the related permits.

Sales are recognized when revenue is realized or becomes realizable and has been earned. In general, revenue is recognized when the earnings process is complete and collectability is reasonably assured which is usually upon shipment of the product. Amounts billed related to shipping and handling are included in revenue.

Income or loss of the Company is includible in the income tax returns of the partners in proportion to their respective interests. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits at December 29, 2017 or December 31, 2016. The Company's Federal and state income tax returns are closed.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties associated with income tax matters as part of the income tax provision, if applicable, and includes accrued interest and penalties with the related tax liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Based on discussions with the Company’s partners, it was determined that liquidation of Amboy was imminent as of July 1, 2015. The Company’s partners were in discussions to abandon and write-off inventory in addition to relinquishing the license agreement with the State of New Jersey which enables the Company to conduct operations. Therefore, effective July 1, 2015, the Company applied the liquidation basis of accounting on a prospective basis. The liquidation basis of accounting requires the Company to estimate amounts of cash or other consideration it expects to collect and to accrue all costs associated with implementing and completing the plan of liquidation and requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. To the extent there are any changes in the Company’s July 1, 2015 initial estimates, there will be changes reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation.

The Company fully liquidated its Net Assets in Liquidation during 2017. Amboy completed the restoration of two piers which were damaged as a result of operations in 2017. The Company was fully dissolved on December 29, 2017.

The consolidated financial statements for the period from January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015, were prepared on the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The following is a reconciliation of partners’ capital under the going concern basis of accounting to net assets in liquidation under the liquidation basis of accounting as of July 1, 2015.

Partners' capital as of June 30, 2015	$	478,478

Increase due to estimated accounts receivable settlement		275,000
Increase due to estimated net realizable value of equipment		200,000
Decrease due to estimated net realizable value of inventory		(1,007,573	)
Increase due to contract obligation to restore pier		785,178
Liability for accrued estimated disposal costs of liquidation		(447,081	)
Adjustments to reflect the change to the liquidation basis of accounting		(194,476	)
Estimated value of net assets in liquidation as of July 1, 2015	$	284,002

In applying the liquidation basis of accounting, the Company recognized a net decrease of $194,476 in its estimated value of net assets in liquidation. This estimated value of net assets in liquidation includes projections of costs and expenses to be incurred during the time it takes to complete the plan of liquidation. There is an inherent uncertainty with these projections, and they could change materially based on the timing of the completion of all of the steps necessary for the liquidation.

Amboy and Lower Main Street Development, LLC (“Lower Main”) an entity whose related members are partners of the Company, entered into an amended and restated agreement on December 13, 2013 to sell substantially all of the real estate on which Amboy conducts its operations.

With the exception of a single vessel, all equipment was sold for proceeds of $2,014,049 for the period ended June 30, 2015. On the application of liquidation basis, the remaining vessel was adjusted to its net realizable value, less cost to sell in 2015. This vessel was sold during 2016 and changes are reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $37,532 for the period from January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015.

Employees covered by a union agreement were included in multi-employer pension and annuity plans to which the Company made contributions in accordance with the contractual union agreement. The Company ceased contributions to the Operating Engineers Local No. 825 Pension Plan effective February 19, 2011 and any future contributions were paid to the annuity fund. As a result of withdrawing from the pension fund, the Company was obligated to pay $328,628, plus interest of $47,445. The Company paid $65,236, including interest of $3,419, during 2015.

The Company maintained a retirement plan qualifying under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code which allowed eligible employees to defer a portion of their income through contributions to the plan. Under the provisions of the plan, the Company made contributions for the benefit of the employees, subject to certain limitations. The Company's contributions for the period from January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015 were $21,857. The Company terminated this retirement plan effective April 30, 2015.

The Company had a license agreement through August 5, 2016 with the State of New Jersey which enabled the Company to dredge in the Ambrose Channel for commercial sand. Under this agreement, the State of New Jersey

received a royalty fee based on the amount of material dredged that, effective August 1, 2009, ranged between $.35 and $.70 per cubic yard. Effective August 14, 2015, the Company relinquished the license agreement to Great Lakes.
