        <ReturnReference>PART X:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE HAS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. ACCORDINGLY, NO TAX PROVISION IS REFLECTED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA REQUIRE MANAGEMENT TO EVALUATE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE HOSPITAL AND RECOGNIZE A TAX LIABILITY IF THE HOSPITAL HAS TAKEN AN UNCERTAIN POSITION THAT MORE LIKELY THAN NOT WOULD BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE IRS OR OTHER APPLICABLE TAXING AUTHORITIES. MANAGEMENT HAS ANALYZED THE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE HOSPITAL AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2011, THERE ARE NO UNCERTAIN POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION OF A LIABILITY OR DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE HOSPITAL IS SUBJECT TO ROUTINE AUDITS BY TAXING JURISDICTIONS. MANAGEMENT BELIEVES IT IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS FOR YEARS PRIOR TO 2008.</Explanation>
