      <Description>While the Sherman Hospital ("Sherman") facility is a community hospital, it is also a regional heart center. In 1972, when the first open-heart surgery was performed at its facilities, the hospital facility became one of the first community hospitals in the nation performing open heart surgery. Today, the hospital facility is a recognized regional heart center for the far northwest suburbs of Chicago. According to the Illinois Hospital Association/Compdata statistics, the hospital consistently sees some of the most complex open heart cases in the state of Illinois (the "state"), and the hospital's mortality rate in cardiac surgery is consistently one of the lowest in the state. Sherman has received numerous national awards and recognition for excellence in quality.</Description>

        <Identifier>Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:</Identifier>
        <ReturnReference>Part X:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>Sherman is primarily comprised of not-for-profit corporations as described in Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). Section 501 (c)(3) organizations are exempt from federal income taxes on related income on those entities pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code. None of Sherman's not-for-profit organizations have significant unrelated business activities. Sherman uses an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting purposes as it relates to income taxes. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Sherman Health Systems and its not-for-profit affiliates file the applicable Form 990s (Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax) annually. When these returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would ultimately be sustained. Examples of tax positions common to health systems include such matters as the following: the tax-exempt status of each entity, the continued tax-exempt status of bonds issued by the obligated group, the nature, characterization and taxability of joint venture income and various positions relative to potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). UBIT is reported on Form 990T, as appropriate. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Part I, L7 Col(f): The following is from the text of the footnote to the audited financial statements describing patient receivables, provision for doubtful accounts and bad debt expense. "Patient receivables due directly from the patients are carried at their original charge for the service provided less amounts covered by third-party payors and less an estimated allowance for doubtful receivables. Management estimates this allowance based on the aging of its accounts receivable and its historical collection experience for each payor type. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded as a reduction of bad debt expense when received. The past due status of receivables is determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the payor responsible. Interest is not charged on past due accounts." Self pay discounts are not included in bad debt expense in the financial statements. The organization's bad debt expense (at cost) as reported on lines 2 and 3 above were determined using a cost to charge ratio.</Explanation>

It is the policy of Sherman to offer patients a payment plan and/or charity assistance when it becomes known or even suspected that a patient needs financial assistance.

If a patient is known to qualify for charity care, it is our policy not to pursue collections against them.</Explanation>
