        <ReturnReference>PART X:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>IN ORDER TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS, THE ORGANIZATION ASSESSES WHETHER IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT A TAX POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION OF THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION, ASSUMING THE TAXING AUTHORITY HAS FULL KNOWLEDGE OF ALL INFORMATION. IF THE TAX POSITION DOES NOT MEET THE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT RECOGNITION THRESHOLD, THE BENEFIT OF THAT POSITION IS NOT RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ORGANIZATION IS ALSO ENGAGED, TO A LIMITED EXTENT, IN ACTIVITIES WHICH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE CONSIDERS UNRELATED TO THE ORGANIZATION'S EXEMPT PURPOSE AND, THEREFORE, TAXABLE. THESE ACTIVITIES, HOWEVER, ANNUALLY RESULT IN NET OPERATING LOSSES FOR INCOME TAX PURPOSES. THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT PRESENTLY ANTICIPATE THAT A TAX BENEFIT FROM THESE NET OPERATING LOSSES WILL BE REALIZED IN THE FUTURE. ACCORDINGLY, ANY POTENTIAL DEFERRED TAX ASSET RESULTING FROM THE AVAILABILITY OF NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARDS IS OFFSET BY A VALUATION ALLOWANCE OF EQUAL AMOUNT. NO DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED SINCE NO OTHER DIFFERENCES EXIST BETWEEN THE FINANCIAL AND TAX BASES OF REPORTING THE ORGANIZATION'S ASSETS AND LIABILITIES. THE ORGANIZATION RECORDED NO ASSETS OR LIABILITIES FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS OR UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS IN 2012 OR 2011. FEDERAL RETURNS FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009, AND BEYOND REMAIN SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. THE ORGANIZATION'S POLICY IS TO RECOGNIZE INTEREST AND PENALTIES RELATED TO INCOME TAX MATTERS IN INCOME TAX EXPENSE WHEN INCURRED. AS OF SEPTEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011, THERE WERE NO MATERIAL TAX PENALTIES, OR INTEREST RELATED TO TAX PENALTIES, RECORDED BY THE ORGANIZATION IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.</Explanation>

      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART I, LINE 7: THE COSTING METHOD USED ON FORM 990 IS BASED ON A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO WHICH IS DEVELOPED BASED ON THE HOSPITAL'S TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES LESS THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS DIVIDED BY GROSS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. THIS COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO IS APPLIED AGAINST HOSPITAL REVENUE AND EXPENSE CATEGORIES TO COMPUTE THE ESTIMATED COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE UNDER IRS COSTING METHODS FOR THE FORM 990.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F): THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $ 3152108.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART II, WHILE THERE IS A GROWING AGREEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES ABOUT WHAT CONSTITUTES A NON-PROFIT HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT, THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. OUR HOSPITAL PROVIDES CHARITY CARE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AS DEFINED BY THE IRS. BUT IN ADDITION, WE BELIEVE THAT WE PROVIDE A CRITICALLY IMPORTANT COMMUNITY BENEFIT WHICH IS NOT QUANTIFIED. OUR HOSPITAL, LIKE MOST RURAL HOSPITALS, WAS CREATED AND IS MAINTAINED IN ORDER TO PROVIDE LOCAL ACCESS TO MANY HEALTH SERVICES: BIRTHING CENTER, DIAGNOSTICS, EMERGENCY SERVICES AND URGENT CARE, HOME CARE, HOSPICE, INFUSION SERVICES, INPATIENT CARE, LABORATORY SERVICES, OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH, REHABILITATION SERVICES, SPECIALTY MEDICINE, SPEECH AND AUDIOLOGY, SURGICAL SERVICES, AND WOMENS HEALTH.</Explanation>

      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 4: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CREDIT POLICY THE COSTING METHOD USED IS BASED ON A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO WHICH WAS DEVELOPED BASED ON THE HOSPITAL'S TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES LESS THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS DIVIDED BY GROSS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. THE COST OF BAD DEBT AMOUNTS IS CONSIDERED A COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE IT REFLECTS THE COST OF SERVICES PROVIDED TO UNINSURED COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND DEDUCTIBLES OR COINSURANCE AMOUNTS FOR UNDERINSURED PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY FOR A PORTION OF SERVICES.MANAGEMENT PROVIDES FOR CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS UNDER TERMS OF THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS THROUGH CHARGE TO GROSS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE AND A CREDIT TO THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. IN ADDITION, MANAGEMENT PROVIDES FOR PROBABLE UNCOLLECTIBLE AMOUNTS, PRIMARILY UNINSURED PATIENTS AND AMOUNTS PATIENTS ARE PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR, THROUGH A CHARGE TO OPERATIONS AND A CREDIT TO A VALUATION ALLOWANCE BASED ON ITS ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL COLLECTION LIKELIHOOD AND THE CURRENT STATUS OF INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS. BALANCES THAT ARE STILL OUTSTANDING AFTER MANAGEMENT HAS USED REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS ARE WRITTEN OFF THROUGH A CHARGE TO THE VALUATION ALLOWANCE AND A CREDIT TO ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT INCLUDE A SEPARATE FOOTNOTE REGARDING BAD DEBT EXPENSE.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 8: THE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE BECAUSE THE HOSPITAL PROFESSIONALS OFFER CLASSES TO THE COMMUNITY AIMED AT MAINTAINING AND IMPROVING THE GENERAL HEALTH OF THE POPULATION. ALSO A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE PEOPLE RECEIVING SERVICES FROM THE HOSPITAL ARE COVERED BY EITHER MEDICARE OR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AND ARE RESIDENTS OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS CALCULATED USING THE MEDICARE COST REPORT.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 9B: PATIENTS RECEIVE OUR COMMUNITY CARE APPLICATION WHEN THEY PRESENT FOR SERVICES. THEY ARE ENCOURAGED TO REVIEW THE APPLICATION AND SUBMIT THE REQUIRED INFORMATION TO APPLY FOR POTENTIAL COVERAGE. IF THEY HAVE QUESTIONS OR NEED HELP WITH THE APPLICATION THEY MAY MEET WITH OUR PATIENT ACCOUNTS STAFF. ONCE A PATIENT APPLIES AND IS APPROVED FOR COMMUNITY CARE, THE APPLICATION IS CONSIDERED CURRENT AND VALID FOR THE FOLLOWING 12-MONTH PERIOD.</Explanation>
