The following is the footnote to the audited consolidated financial statements of the West Penn Allegheny Health System for FASB ASC 740: "WPAHS adopted FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. FASB ASC 740 prescribes a more-likely than-not recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken. Under FASB ASC 740, tax positions will be evaluated for recognition, derecognition, and measurement using consistent criteria and will provide more information about the uncertainty in income tax assets and liabilities. Based on an analysis prepared by WPAHS, it was determined that the application of FASB ASC 740 had no material effect on the recorded tax assets and liabilities of WPAHS."Explanation

West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network - Board of Director IndependenceForm 990, Page 1, Part I, Line 4The appointment of the West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network Board of Directors is made by the sole member of the organization, West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. The Bylaws of West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network provides that the sole member has the exclusive power to fix the number of, and elect, appoint, fill vacancies in and remove, with or without cause, the Directors; and elect and remove, with or without cause, the Chair and Vice Chair of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, and the Secretary and Treasurer of the Corporation. The Board of Directors of the sole member of West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network is comprised of a majority of independent Board Members. The Board of Directors of West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network consists of six members who have voting rights on matters pertinent to the organization. Of these six members, none are deemed to be independent to the organization. Because of the independence of the Board of Directors of the sole member, and the rights and powers of the sole member to appoint and fix the Board of Directors of West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network, we deem that the Board of Directors of West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network is in fact controlled by a majority of independent Board Members.
West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network - Comparitive Balance SheetForm 990, Page 1, Part I, Question 20The West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network Balance Sheet Total Assets decreased from $13,563,012 at June 30, 2009 to $6,145,707 at June 30, 2010. This decrease is directly attributable to the following circumstances: 1. Consistent with its tax exempt status as a supporting organization described under section 509(a)(3), West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network transferred $7,883,527 of cash through net assets to its supported organizations during the year ended June 30, 2010. 2. Beginning during the year ended June 30, 2009, West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network began to transition some of its physician practices to hospital based practices within West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc., EIN: 25-0969492, an affiliated 501(c)(3) organization. In all, five practices were transitioned from West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network to West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. through June 30, 2010. Consistent with each transition, the only asset transferred from the West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network Balance Sheet to the Balance Sheet of West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. was inventory. The cumulative asset transfer for all five transitions falls below the threshold for Schedule N disclosure. Further, the natural progression of practices transitioning from West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network to West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. leads to reduced cash flow, reduced need to carry inventory and a reduction of accounts receivable for West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network, thereby reducing the Balance Sheet.
Statement of Program Service AccomplishmentsForm 990, Page 2, Part III, Question 4aINTRODUCTON TO WEST PENN ALLEGHENY ONCOLOGY NETWORK West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network (WPAON) is a Pennsylvania non-profit and non-stock corporation that was formed on March 17, 2003 and began operations on January 1, 2004.

Monitoring and Enforcement of the Conflict of Interest PolicyForm 990, Page 6, Part VI, Section B, Question 12cWest Penn Allegheny Oncology Network is a member of the West Penn Allegheny Health System (WPAHS). WPAHS has a corporate compliance department that monitors and oversees compliance with the conflict of interest policy of all organizations in the health system. The following describes the manner in which the corporate compliance department monitors and oversees compliance with the conflict of interest policy for West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network as well as the other WPAHS affiliates: Conflict of Interest disclosure forms are completed on an annual basis by all board members, officers, employees who have a title of Manager and above, physicians in leadership roles, Pharmacy Committee members, Therapeutic Committee members, all employees of the System's Internal Audit Department as well as the employees involved with contracting in the Corporate Purchasing Department. Upon completion of the above disclosure statement by all applicable individuals, a report is generated listing all individuals that have reported a conflict. The System Compliance Officer and General Counsel review the conflicts disclosed. Those that require additional information or clarification receive a letter from the Compliance Officer requesting such. Once received, all additional information is added to the report and again reviewed by the Compliance Officer and General Counsel. Those conflicts that require a mitigation plan are sent to the respective organization's senior management for development of the mitigation plan. The organization's senior management is responsible to discuss the mitigation plan with the individual as needed and monitor compliance with the mitigation plan. Once mitigation is received, a final report is reviewed with the System Compliance Executive Committee and finally the Audit & Compliance Committee of the Board. In addition, all WPAHS board members, officers and key employees complete an annual independence disclosure statement which assists the System's Compliance Officer and Internal Audit Department to determine and monitor the levels of independence in each of the System's tax exempt affiliates as well as to determine the level of Form 990, Schedule L reporting.
Process Used To Determine Executive CompensationForm 990, Page 6, Part VI, Section B, Line 15bWest Penn Allegheny Health Systems (WPAHS) process for determining compensation for executive positions (including officers, key employees and other management positions) within West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network is covered by the WPAHS Executive Compensation Policy. This policy was approved by the WPAHS Board of Directors. It is the policy of WPAHS and its Board of Directors to compensate its executives in accordance with the market and in relation to the experience, service and accomplishments of the individual both prior to and during their service with WPAHS. The Compensation Committee of the WPAHS Board of Directors approves the compensation for WPAHS senior executives. The Compensation Committee approves the initial compensation for newly hired senior executives, which shall include all compensation components, including without limitation, base compensation, incentive compensation, deferred compensation, fringe and other benefits, as well as the total compensation. It also approves all base compensation adjustments and all incentive compensation awards, as well as material changes to deferred compensation, fringe, or other benefits. The Compensation Committee uses comparability data provided by the System Human Resources Department, which may include industry surveys, expert compensation studies, documented compensation of persons holding similar positions, or other comparable data in approving any executive compensation. The Compensation Committee periodically retains the services of an independent compensation consultant to provide an expert opinion report as to the reasonableness of total compensation of West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network officers and key employees. Each Compensation Committee member voting on a senior executive's compensation arrangement ensures that he or she has no conflict of interest, including that he or she (a) does not economically benefit from the proposed employment; (b) does not receive compensation subject to the approval of the proposed employee; and (c) has no material financial interest affected by the transaction. The Compensation Committee consists of three independent Board Members of WPAHS. All decisions of the Compensation Committee regarding executive compensation matters are documented.
