        <Identifier>DESCRIPTION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS UNDER FIN 48:</Identifier>
        <ReturnReference>PART X:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>INCOME TAXES THE ORGANIZATION IS A NONPROFIT CORPORATION AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL TAXES ON RELATED INCOME PURSUANT TO SECTION 501(A) OF THE CODE. THE ORGANIZATION IS ALSO EXEMPT FROM STATE INCOME TAXES, PURSUANT TO SIMILAR STATE OF WISCONSIN TAX LAWS. IN ORDER TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS, THE ORGANIZATION DETERMINES 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'S POLICY IS TO RECOGNIZE INTEREST AND PENALTIES RELATED TO INCOME TAX MATTERS IN INCOME TAX EXPENSE WHEN INCURRED. AS OF SEPTEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010, THERE WERE NO MATERIAL TAX PENALTIES, OR INTEREST RELATED TO TAX PENALTIES, RECORDED BY THE ORGANIZATION IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ORGANIZATION RECORDED NO ASSETS OR LIABILITIES FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS OR UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS IN 2011 OR 2010. FEDERAL RETURNS FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008, AND BEYOND REMAIN SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE.</Explanation>

        <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 $ 1972276.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <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 REVENUES. THIS COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO IS APPLIED AGAINST VARIOUS REVENUE AND EXPENSE CATEGORIES TO COMPUTE THE ESTIMATED COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE UNDER IRS COSTING METHODS FOR THE FORM 990. THE COST OF COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT AND HEALTH PROFESSIONALS EDUCATION REFLECT THE DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS AS DETERMINED BY THE HOSPITAL.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.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 UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY FOR A PORTION OF SERVICES.ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE UNCOLLATERALIZED PATIENT OBLIGATIONS THAT ARE STATED AT THE AMOUNT MANAGEMENT EXPECTS TO COLLECT FROM OUTSTANDING BALANCES. THESE OBLIGATIONS ARE PRIMARILY FROM LOCAL RESIDENTS, MOST OF WHOM ARE INSURED UNDER THIRD-PARTY PAYER AGREEMENTS. THE ORGANIZATION BILLS THIRD-PARTY PAYERS ON EACH PATIENT'S BEHALF, OR IF A PATIENT IS UNINSURED, THE PATIENT IS BILLED DIRECTLY. ONCE CLAIMS ARE SETTLED WITH THE PRIMARY PAYER, ANY SECONDARY INSURANCE IS BILLED, AND PATIENTS ARE BILLED FOR CO-PAY AND DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNTS THAT ARE THE PATIENTS' RESPONSIBILITY.
