Explanation	IN DECEMBER 2008, THE FASB, THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD ("FASB") ISSUED ASC 740, INCOME TAXES, FORMERLY FASB STAFF POSITION (FSP) FIN 48-3, "EFFECTIVE DATE OF FASB INTERPRETATION NO. 48 FOR CERTAIN NONPUBLIC ENTERPRISES"). ASC 740 PERMITTED AN ENTITY WITHIN ITS SCOPE TO DEFER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF ASC 740 TO ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR FISCAL YEARS BEGINNING AFTER DECEMBER 15, 2008. THE ASSOCIATION ADOPTED THE APPLICATION OF ASC 740 ON OCTOBER 1, 2009. THE ASSOCIATION PREVIOUSLY EVALUATED ITS UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS USING THE PROVISIONS OF ACCOUNTING FOR CONTINGENCIES. ACCORDINGLY, A LOSS CONTINGENCY WAS RECOGNIZED WHEN IT IS PROBABLE THAT A LIABILITY HAS BEEN INCURRED AS OF THE DATE OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE AMOUNT OF THE LOSS CAN BE REASONABLY ESTIMATED. UNDER ASC 740, THE ASSOCIATION NOW RECOGNIZES THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT BENEFIT OF A TAX POSITION ONLY AFTER DETERMINING THAT THE RELEVANT TAX AUTHORITY WOULD MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT SUSTAIN THE POSITION FOLLOWING AN AUDIT. FOR TAX POSITIONS MEETING THE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT THRESHOLD, THE AMOUNT RECOGNIZED IN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IS THE LARGEST BENEFIT THAT HAS A GREATER THAN 50 PERCENT LIKELIHOOD OF BEING REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT WITH THE RELEVANT TAX AUTHORITY. AS A RESULT OF THE ASSOCIATION'S ASSESSMENT OF ITS TAX POSITIONS, THE ASSOCIATION DOES NOT HAVE ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND 2009 THAT REQUIRE ACCRUAL OR DISCLOSURE.

Explanation	MHA as an assistance to our small and rural hospitals provides a pass-through payment for federal funds. The hospitals work with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) to secure federal funding to support their quality initiatives, they apply through the DPH for the federal funding and set up a process whereby the funds are directed to MHA to be passed directly to the hospitals to fund their activities. The purpose of this pass through, as allowed under the federal grant award rules, was to allow for an easier method to move the funding from the federal government to the providers without having to go through a second layer of state financial contracting. MHA is responsible for developing the final action reports to the federal government at the end of the contracting period.	Explanation
