3 Independent Auditor s Report To the Board of Trustees of NCH Healthcare System, Inc. Naples, Florida Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of NCH Healthcare System, Inc. and Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets, 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 the 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 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. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of NCH Healthcare System, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2014, and the results of their operations, their changes in net assets, and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 1

4 Other Matter The consolidated financial statements of NCH Healthcare System, Inc. and Subsidiaries, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2013, were audited by other auditors whose report dated January 27, 2014 expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements. Miami, Florida January 28,

10 Note 1. Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of organization: The NCH Healthcare System, Inc., (the Parent) was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit parent holding corporation in 1983 under a plan of reorganization to better serve the community s health care needs and to provide management with greater flexibility in providing services. The NCH Healthcare System, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the System) consolidated financial statements consist of the following entities: Naples Community Hospital, Inc. (the Hospital), a not-for-profit corporation located in Collier County, Florida, consists of two hospitals with 713 beds. The Downtown Naples Hospital Campus is a 391-bed acute care facility and North Naples Hospital Campus is a 322-bed acute care facility. The Hospital also has a blood center and various other outpatient centers located throughout the community. The Hospital is a wholly owned subsidiary of the System. The majority of the System s Board of Trustees also serves on the Board of Trustees of the Hospital. NCHMD, Inc. (d/b/a NCH Healthcare Group), a not-for-profit corporation, owns and operates physician medical practices in Collier and Lee County, Florida. The Obligated Group consists of Naples Community Hospital, Inc., NCHMD, Inc., and the Parent.

Health Resources Corporation (HRC), a for-profit holding company which consists of the following proprietary subsidiaries: (i) Community Imaging, Inc. (CII) was formed to operate as a partner in the operation of diagnostic imaging centers. CII s 50% partnership interest in Naples Diagnostic Imaging Center, Ltd. (NDIC) is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. In conjunction with the issuance of long-term debt for the construction and equipping of NDIC facilities, the System has provided an unconditional guarantee to pay 50% of the obligations related to this debt should NDIC default. As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, total long-term debt outstanding at NDIC was $870,721 and $1,282,487, respectively. (ii) Ambulatory Surgical Care Center, Inc. (ASCC) owns a 15% interest in Naples Day Surgery (NDS), a nonaffiliated limited liability company which operates two ambulatory surgery centers in Collier County, Florida and is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. (iii) Community Home Care, Inc. owns a 49% interest in Kokua Healing Arts, Inc.; an established private duty home health agency headquartered in Naples, Florida and is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Parent owns a 50% interest in Bonita Community Health Center (BCHC), a not-for-profit organization. BCHC operates an urgent care center, an ambulatory surgical care center, a diagnostic imaging center and an outpatient rehabilitation center in Estero, Florida. Additionally, BCHC leases office space to physicians and other healthcare providers. The investment in BCHC is accounted for using the equity method.

As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, total long-term debt outstanding at BCHC was $22,850,000 and $23,618,333, respectively. 8

11 Note 1. Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The Parent also owns a 50% interest in Naples Physician Hospital Organization d/b/a Community Health Partners (CHP), a not-for-profit taxable entity under the laws of the State of Florida. CHP contracts with various employers and other third-party payors for the provision of healthcare services by CHP members. The investment in CHP is accounted for using the equity method. The System maintains the legal right to appoint trustees and directors of its wholly owned subsidiaries. In addition, the System maintains the right to approve: (1) the operating and capital budgets, (2) all amendments to the bylaws and articles of incorporation, and (3) all long-term debt obligations and requests for certificates of need for all of the wholly owned subsidiaries. Basis of presentation: These consolidated financial statements, which are presented on the accrual basis of accounting, have been prepared to report on the System as a whole and to present balances and transactions according to the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. This has been accomplished by classification of net assets and transactions into three classes of net assets permanently restricted, temporarily restricted or unrestricted as follows: Permanently Restricted Net Assets Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that they be maintained permanently by the System. Generally, the donors of these assets permit the System to use the income earned from these assets for general or specific purposes. Temporarily Restricted Net Assets Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations and/or time restrictions that will eventually be met by actions of the System and/or the passage of time. Unrestricted Net Assets Net assets generated from operations, unrestricted donations, and the satisfaction or lapse of temporary restrictions. These are not subject to donor-imposed stipulations. A summary of the Organization s significant accounting policies follows: Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the System. All significant intercompany amounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The entities that are part of the System are all legally separate entities. Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include investments in highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less at date of purchase but exclude amounts whose use is limited for specific purposes and self insurance programs or by board designation and arrangements under trust agreements. 9

12 Note 1. Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Investments and investment income: Investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt securities are measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. Investments are recorded as current assets when they are available for current operations. Investments that are not available for current operations as a result of contractual obligations, restrictions, designations, or for other reasons are not included in current assets. Investment income or loss (including realized gains and losses on investments, interest and dividends) is included in investment income unless income or loss is restricted by donor or law. Unrealized gains and losses on investments are excluded from the excess of revenues over expenses. Interest and dividends are recorded when earned. Realized gains and losses are recorded when the investments are sold. Unrealized gains and losses represent the change in fair value between reporting periods. All of the System s investments are classified as available for sale securities. The System invests in a professionally managed portfolio that contains common shares and bonds of publicly traded companies, U.S. Government and agency obligations, mutual funds, and money market funds. Such investments are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, 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 would materially affect investment balances and the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Due from patients and others: Due from patients and others are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the collectability of accounts receivable, the System analyzes its past history and identifies trends for each of its major payor sources of revenue to estimate the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for bad debts. Management regularly reviews data about these major payor sources of revenue in evaluating the sufficiency of the allowance for doubtful accounts. For receivables associated with services provided to patients who have third-party coverage, the System analyzes contractually due amounts and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts and a provision for bad debts. For receivables associated with self-pay patients (which includes both patients without insurance and patients with deductible and copayment balances due for which third-party coverage exists for part of the bill), the System records a significant provision for bad debts in the period of service on the basis of its past experience, which indicates that many patients are unable or unwilling to pay the portion of their bill for which they are financially responsible. The difference between the standard rates (or the discounted rates if negotiated) and the amounts actually collected after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted is charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Inventories: Inventories consist primarily of operating supplies and are stated at the lower of cost or market, on a first-in, first-out basis. Assets limited as to use: Assets limited as to use primarily include assets required by state insurance laws to fund claims in the System s self-insurance programs, assets set aside by the Board of Trustees primarily for capital replacement, assets held by trustee under bond indenture agreements, and assets designated or restricted for donor intentions. Amounts required to meet current liabilities of the System have been classified as current assets. The System has received gifts of beneficial interests in trusts held by bank trustees. Under some trusts, the System is named as the beneficiary in remainder trusts held by third parties. The beneficial interest in these trusts are carried at fair value. The System has other trusts whereby it has the irrevocable right to receive the income earned on its share of the trust assets in perpetuity, but never receives the trust assets. The System reports their interest in these trusts based on their prorata share of the fair value of the assets in the trust. The beneficial interest in the trust is reported as assets limited as to use and as permanently restricted net assets (endowments). 10

13 Note 1. Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Donor receivables: Pledges to make future donations are reported at net present value generally at the time the unconditional pledge is made, net of an allowance for estimated uncollectible pledges. Donor receivables are classified as assets limited as to use in the consolidated balance sheets. Donor contributions: Unconditional donor promises to give and contributions are reported at fair value at the time of the gift. Conditional promises to give are recognized at fair value when the conditions on which they depend are substantially met or the probability that the condition will not be met is remote. Gifts are reported as either temporarily or permanently restricted if they are received with donor stipulations that limit the use of the donated assets. When a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction is satisfied, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified as unrestricted net assets and reported in the consolidated statements of operations as net assets released from restrictions for operations or capital. Donor-restricted contributions whose restrictions are met within the same year as received are reported as unrestricted contributions in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Property and equipment: Property and equipment are recorded at cost or if donated, at fair market value at date of donation. Property and equipment donated for operations are recorded as additions to unrestricted net assets. Major asset classifications and useful lives are generally based on the estimated utility of the assets and considering the American Hospital Association guidelines. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful life of each class of depreciable assets, which range from 3 to 40 years, and is computed on the straight-line method. Upon sale or retirement of depreciable assets, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed and any resulting gain or loss is included in other income. Assets acquired under capital leases are amortized on the straight-line method over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the lease term. Bond issue costs: Bond issue costs are amortized over the life of the related bonds using the straightline method, which approximates the effective interest method. Estimated self-insurance liabilities: The liability for estimated self-insured medical malpractice claims, workers compensation claims and health and dental claims includes estimates of the ultimate costs for both reported claims and claims incurred but not reported. Health and dental claim liabilities are included with accrued expenses. The liability for medical malpractice claims and workers compensation claims have been actuarially determined. Excess of revenues over expenses: The consolidated statements of operations include excess of revenues over expenses. Changes in unrestricted net assets, which are excluded from excess of revenues over expenses, consistent with industry practice, include unrealized gains and losses on investments other than trading securities, assets released from donor restrictions for capital in accordance with stipulations of a gift and other changes in net assets. Net patient service revenue: The System has agreements with third-party payors that provide for payments to the System at amounts different from its established rates. Payment arrangements include prospectively determined rates on the basis of per discharge, per procedure, reimbursed cost, discounted charges, and per diem. Net patient service revenue is reported when the services are performed, at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payors, and others for services rendered, including estimated retroactive adjustments under reimbursement agreements with third-party payors. Retroactive adjustments are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. 11

14 Note 1. Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Charity care: The System provides care without charge or at amounts less than its established rates to patients who meet specific criteria under the State s charity care guidelines. Because the System does not pursue collection of accounts determined to qualify as charity care, these amounts are not reported as net patient service revenue. Income taxes: The System and all of its not-for-profit subsidiaries are exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) as organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code, and are exempt from federal income taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code. The System and all of its not-for-profit subsidiaries do not have significant unrelated business income; however, such status is subject to final determination upon examination of the related income tax returns by the appropriate taxing authorities. The System s for-profit subsidiaries are subject to income tax. The income tax expense for fiscal year 2013 was approximately $207,000 and the estimate for income tax expense for fiscal year 2014 is approximately $377,000. The System s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters as income tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations under supplies and other expenses. The System is no longer subject to tax examinations in the major U.S. taxing jurisdictions in which they operate for tax years prior to Fair value measurements: The System follows the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements and the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities. The guidance for the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities provides companies the irrevocable option to measure many financial assets and liabilities at fair value on their acquisition or commitment date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The System has not elected to measure any financial assets or liabilities at fair value that were not previously required to be measured at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the System. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the System s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. 12

15 Note 1. Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Includes financial instruments for which quoted market prices for identical instruments that are available in active markets. Level 1 assets consist of money market funds, equity mutual and exchange-traded funds, equity securities and U.S. Treasury securities as they are traded in an active market with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions. Includes financial instruments for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets with sufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets) or model-driven valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data, including market interest rate curves, referenced credit spreads and pre-payment rates. Level 2 assets and liabilities consist of certain marketable debt instruments and limited partnerships. Marketable debt instruments in this category include government-related securities, corporate bonds and notes, and preferred securities. The limited partnerships represent the System s ownership interest in the net asset value (NAV) of the respective investments obtained from the fund manager statements and audited financial statements. These investments can be redeemed once a month provided five days notice is given, and the System has not provided any additional funding commitments. Includes financial instruments for which fair value is derived from valuation techniques including pricing models and discounted cash flow models in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable, including the System s own assumptions. The pricing models incorporate transaction details such as contractual terms, maturity and, in certain instances, timing and amount of future cash flows, as well as assumptions related to liquidity and credit valuation adjustments of marketplace participants. Level 3 equity funds include charitable remainder trust receivables and perpetual trusts which are recorded at fair value based on the underlying value of the assets in the trust or discounted cash flow of the expected payment streams. Other changes in net assets: In 2014 management performed a detailed review of their net asset classifications that resulted in amounts being reclassified between unrestricted, temporarily restricted, and permanently restricted net assets. Reclassifications: Reclassifications have been made to the 2013 consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on excess of revenues over expenses, changes in net assets, or total net assets as previously reported. Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted: In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No , Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a robust framework for addressing revenue recognition issues and replaces most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, in current U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for the System s fiscal year beginning October 1, Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this update will have on its financial reporting. 13

16 Note 2. Third-Party Payors The System has agreements with third-party payors that provide for payment to the System at amounts different from its established rates. A summary of the basis of payments from the System s primary thirdparty payors follows: Medicare: Most inpatient acute, rehabilitation, psychiatric, and outpatient services rendered to Medicare program beneficiaries are paid at prospectively determined rates. These rates vary according to a patient classification system that is based on clinical, diagnostic, and other factors. Certain Medicare services are paid under a cost reimbursement methodology. The System s Medicare cost reports have been filed for all years through September 30, 2013 and have been audited by the Medicare intermediary for all years through September 30, 2012, excluding Retroactive adjustments for cost report settlements are accrued on an estimated basis in the period when the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods when final settlements are determined. Medicaid: Historically, inpatient and outpatient services (except for laboratory and pathology services paid by fee schedule) rendered to Medicaid program beneficiaries are reimbursed under a cost reimbursement methodology. Reimbursable cost is determined in accordance with the principles of reimbursement established by the Florida Title XIX Hospital Reimbursement Plan, supplemented by the Medicare Principles of Reimbursement. The interim rates are tentatively established for each hospital, subject to cost ceilings with exceptions. The System is reimbursed at a tentative interim rate with final settlement determined when the prospectively determined rate is adjusted as a result of intermediary audit of the cost report used in establishment of the prospective rate. Retroactive adjustments for interim rate changes anticipated after the intermediary audit of the cost report are accrued on an estimated basis in the period when final settlements are determined. The System s Medicaid interim rates are based on the Medicare/Medicaid unaudited cost reports for the year ended September 30, Medicaid cost report audits have been completed through September 30, On July 1, 2013 Florida Medicaid implemented a prospective inpatient reimbursement based on All Patient Refined Diagnostic Related Groups methodology (APR DRG). Payments under APR DRG assignment are made on a per case basis and are not subject to retrospective rate adjustment. Outpatient services continue to be paid based upon a cost reimbursement methodology. Outpatient payments continue to be made based on a per revenue code written rate and are subject to retrospective rate adjustments. Changes in estimates of third-party payor settlements increased net patient service revenue by approximately $271,000 and $2.2 million respectively for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013,and is included in the consolidated statement of operations for both years. Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid Programs are complex and subject to interpretation. The System believes that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to audits, claims, inquiries and investigations from government authorities and agencies that occur in the ordinary course of business. Current audits, claims, inquiries, and investigations and their ultimate resolutions, individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the System s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The System s classification of patients and the appropriateness of their care are subject to review by the fiscal intermediaries administering the Medicare and Medicaid programs. 14

17 Note 2 Third-Party Payors (Continued) Meaningful Use Incentive Revenue: The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinic Health (HITECH) portion of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 included $27.0 billion in incentives through Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement systems to foster electronic health record (EHR) adoption. In order to be eligible for EHR incentive funding, eligible hospitals and professionals must use a certified EHR, report quality measures, and achieve meaningful use, as defined by HITECH. The System is entitled to receive Medicare and Medicaid incentive payments for the adoption of certified EHR technology beginning in fiscal year 2011, and believes it has satisfied the statutory and regulatory requirements. The system applies the grant model for recognizing incentive revenue. Incentives earned was approximately $1.5 million for fiscal year 2014 and approximately $2.9 million for fiscal year Income from incentive payments are subject to retrospective adjustments as the incentive payments are calculated using Medicare cost report data that is subject to audit. Additionally, the System s compliance with the meaningful use criteria is subject to audit by the federal government. Other: The System has also entered into payment arrangements with certain commercial insurance carriers, health maintenance organizations, and preferred provider organizations. The basis for payment to the System under these arrangements includes prospectively determined rates per discharge, per diem, discounts from established charges, and prospectively determined rates per procedure for outpatient services. Some of these arrangements provide for review of paid claims for compliance with the terms of the contract and result in retroactive settlement with third parties. Retroactive adjustments for other third party claims are recorded in the period when final settlement is determined. Note 3. Net Patient Service Revenue and Due From Patients and Others Net patient service revenue consisted of the following for the years ended September 30: Gross charges $ 1,670,939,562 $ 1,570,689,417 Less: Medicare and Medicaid allowances (907,675,380) (884,964,905) Other discounts and allowances (238,917,719) (203,893,063) Total allowances (1,146,593,099) (1,088,857,968) Provision for bad debts (61,513,653) (40,301,768) Total deductions from gross charges (1,208,106,752) (1,129,159,736) Net patient service revenue $ 462,832,810 $ 441,529,681 Patient service revenue net of contractual allowances, discounts, and bad debt recognized from thirdparty payor sources in the years ended September 30 is as follows: Third-party payors $ 439,436,003 $ 422,804,204 Self-pay payors 23,396,807 18,725,477 Total all payors $ 462,832,810 $ 441,529,681 The System recognizes net patient service revenue associated with services provided to patients who have third-party payor coverage on the basis of contractual rates for the services rendered. 15

18 Note 3. Net Patient Service Revenue and Due From Patients and Other (Continued) Amounts due from patients and others are reported net of uncollectible accounts for bad debts and contractual allowances under third-party payor arrangements in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Patient service revenue, net of contractual allowances, discounts, and bad debt recognized in the years ended September 30, and net amounts due from patients and others from these major payor sources is as follows: Net Patient Service Due From Patients and Others Medicare 54% 55% 40% 37% Medicaid 8% 7% 9% 11% Blue Cross/Blue Shield 19% 15% 15% 12% Others 19% 23% 36% 40% Total all payors 100% 100% 100% 100% Note 4. Uncompensated Care Uncompensated care represents either charges foregone or charges in excess of payment received for services provided to patients who are not covered under contracts with third-party payors. The major components of uncompensated care are categorized as charity, welfare, and bad debts. Charity care represents services and supplies furnished at no charge to patients who have qualified under the income criteria promulgated by the State of Florida. Patients who would otherwise be deemed as charity care can sometimes qualify under the Collier County Welfare Program. Payments under the County Welfare Program are limited by the amount appropriated by the County. Finally, bad debts represent charges deemed uncollectible due to either: (a) a patient s inability to qualify as charity, welfare, or Medicaid, yet clear financial indications exist that demonstrate an inability to pay, or (b) a patient s refusal to pay for services provided and the System s decision to cease further collection efforts. Uncompensated care for the years ended September 30, was as follows: Charity care charges foregone, based on established rates $ 60,234,271 $ 83,276,047 Welfare difference between established rates and reimbursement received 2,085,711 2,701,905 Total charity care and welfare 62,319,982 85,977,952 Bad debts charges deemed uncollectible 61,513,653 40,301,768 Total uncompensated care $ 123,833,635 $ 126,279,720 Estimated cost of providing uncompensated care $ 32,320,579 $ 35,951,836 16

19 Note 4. Uncompensated Care (Continued) The System applied adjusted expenses as a percent of revenues to the charity, welfare and bad debt charges written off to determine an estimated cost of uncompensated care. The System s allowance for doubtful accounts increased approximately $4,574,000 from approximately $22,483,000 for fiscal year 2013 to approximately $27,057,000 for fiscal year The System has not materially changed its charity care and uninsured discount policies during fiscal year The increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts is attributed to less patients qualifying for charity care. Note 5. Temporarily and Permanently Restricted Net Assets, and Endowments Temporarily restricted net assets are available for the following purposes at September 30: Health care services Building construction and purchase of equipment $ 18,524,784 $ 12,184,933 Indigent care and education 913,282 1,233,866 $ 19,438,066 $ 13,418,799 Permanently restricted net assets at September 30 are restricted to: Investments to be held in perpetuity, the income from which is expendable to support health care services $ 14,766,111 $ 17,536,191 The System operates under the Florida Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (FUPMIFA). The FUPMIFA defines an endowment fund as an institutional fund, or any part thereof, not wholly expendable by the institution on a current basis under the terms of the applicable gift instrument. The System s interpretation of its fiduciary responsibilities for donor restricted endowments under FUPMIFA is that it is required to use reasonable care and caution as would be exercised by a prudent investor, in considering the investment management and expenditures of endowment funds. In accordance with FUPMIFA, the System may expend so much of an endowment fund as the System determines to be prudent for the uses and purposes of which the endowment fund is established, consistent with the goal of conserving the long-term purchasing power of the endowment fund. The System considers the following in expenditure decisions for its endowment funds: The program needs of the System The intent of the donors of the endowment fund The terms of the applicable instrument General economic conditions The possible effects of inflation or deflation The expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments The other resources of the System Perpetuation of the endowment 17

20 Note 5. Temporarily and Permanently Restricted Net Assets, and Endowments (Continued) The System classifies the following as permanently restricted net assets: (a) the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment; (b) the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment; and (c) accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund, when applicable. The remaining portion of the donor-restricted endowment fund that is not classified in permanently restricted net assets is classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by the System in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by FUPMIFA. The investment income and earnings from the System s endowment funds are designated for general and specific purposes. The System s endowment investment policies are directed by the Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees. The System s policies establish a moderate risk posture with respect to both time and risk preference. These risk postures are developed to provide consistent return patterns over a moderate time horizon and are consistent with conserving the purchasing power of its endowment funds. Strategies employed for achieving the System s investment objectives include passively and actively managed funds invested in domestic and global equities, domestic and global fixed income, absolute return and real assets. Changes in endowment net assets for the year ended September 30, 2014 consisted of the following: Temporarily Permanently Restricted Restricted Total Endowment net assets, beginning of year $ - $ 17,536,191 $ 17,536,191 Other changes in net assets 3,299,138 (3,299,138) - Investment return: Investment income 368, ,706 Change in unrealized gains/(losses) 913, ,490 Total investment return 1,282,196-1,282,196 Gifts - 529, ,058 Appropriation of endowment assets for expenditure (82,738) - (82,738) Endowment net assets, end of year $ 4,498,596 $ 14,766,111 $ 19,264,707 18
