Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements, which are presented on the accrual basis of accounting,
have been prepared to focus 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 donor of these assets permits the System to use all or part of the income
earned on related investments for general or specific purposes.
Temporarily restricted net assets
Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations 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 tapse of
temporary restrictions. These are not subject to donor-imposed stipulations.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the System. All significant
intercompany amounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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 by
self-insurance programs, board designation or arrangements under trust agreements.
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. Investment income or
loss (Including realized gains and losses on investmenls, interest and dividends) is Included in
Investment income unless income or 1055 is restricted by donor or law. Unrealized gains and
losses on investments are excluded from the excess of revenues over expenses unless the
investments are trading securities. All of the System's investments are classified as available for
sale securities.
Inventories
Inventories consist 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, and assets held by trustee under bond indenture agreements. Amounts
required to meet currenlliabilities of the System have been classified as current assets. Assets
limited as to use are carried on the consolidaled balance sheets at fair value based upon quoted
market prices.
Donor Receivables
Donations to be received in the future that are held in irrevocable trusts are reported at net present
value. Pledges to make future donations are reported at net present value, net of an allowance for
estimated uncollectible pledges. Donor receivables are classified as other assets in the
consolidated balance sheets. Gifts are reported as either temporarily or permanently restricted if
they are received with donor stipulations thai 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. Donor-restricted contributions whose
restrictions are met within the same year as received are reported as unrestricted contributions in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Page 23 of 36
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 in accordance with those
recommended by the American Hospital Association. 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 revenue.
Bond Issue Costs
Bond issue costs are amortized over the life of the related bonds using the straight-line method,
which approximates the effective interest method.
Estimated Self.lnsurance Liabilities
The provision 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 provisions are Included with accrued
expenses. The provisions 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 and assets released from donor restrictions in accordance with stipulations of the gift.
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, per capita (capitation), reimbursed
cost, discounted charges, and per diem. Net patient service revenue is reported 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.
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 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.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments
The System uses derivative financial instruments for the purpose of managing their exposure to
adverse fluctuations in interest rates. While these instruments are subject to fluctuations in value,
such fluctuations are generally offset by the change in value of the underlying exposures being
hedged. The System does not enter into any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
The System records all of their derivative instruments in the consolidated balance sheets at fair
value. Although these derivative instruments are used for risk management purposes, the System
does not meet the criteria to quality for hedge accounting and, therefore, the changes In fair value
are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as interest expense.
Fair Value Measurements
Effective October 1, 2008, the first day of the System's fiscal year 2009. the System adopted the
authoritative guidance for fair value measurements and the fair value option for financial assets and
financial liabilities. The System did not record an adjustment to net assets as a result of the
adoption of the guidance for fair value measurements, and the adoption did not have a material
effect on the System's results of operations. 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 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. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 includes financial instruments for which quoted market prices for identical instruments
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. Level 1 liability is
associated with the System's deferred compensation plan.
Level 2 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, induding market interest rate curves, referenced credit spreads and
pre-payment rates. Level 2 assets and liabilities consist of certain marketable debt
instruments and derivative contracts whose values are determined using inputs that are
observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable
market data. Marketable debt instrumenls in this category include government-related
securities, corporate bonds and notes, and preferred securities.

Level 3 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 assets primarily consist of certain
marketable debt instruments whose values are determined using inputs that are both
unobservable and significant to the values of the instruments being measured, including
marketable debt Instruments that are priced using indicative prices that the System is unable
to corroborate with observable market quotes. The System does not have any level 3
financial instruments as of September 30, 2009.
The following table presents the System's fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at
fair value on September 30, 2009:
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total

on excess of revenues over expenses, changes in net assets, or net assets.

2. Third-Party Payers
The System has agreements with third-party payers 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 third-party payors follows:
Medicare
Most inpatient 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. Psychiatric services are currenlly paid on a
prospective basis. During 2008, psychiatric services were paid based on a blended prospective
and cost based methodology. Some outpatient services continue to be paid based upon a cost
reimbursement methodology. The System is reimbursed for cost reimbursable items at a tentative
interim rate with final selllement determined after submission of annual cost reports by the System
which are subsequenlly audited by the Medicare fiscal intermediary.
The System's Medicare cost reports have been filed for all years through September 30, 2008 and
have been audited and final settlements determined by the Medicare intermediary for all years
through September 30, 2007. 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 selllements are determined.
The System has recorded a reserve for potential claim adjustments due to the Medicare Recovery
Audit Contractor ("RAC") Demonstration project and permanent RAC program. The three-year
demonstration project contract ended March 30, 2008. The permanent RAC program began in
2009 and includes claims paid beginning October 1, 2007.
During 2009, the System recognized an additional $4.5 million in patient service revenue for the
2008 disproportionate share ("DSH") add-on payments from Medicare. No Medicare DSH add-on
payments were recognized for 2009 based upon historical accounting practices. This Is consistent
with the System's policy to recognize DSH revenue where there is certainty thai the System will
meet the eligibility to receive DSH payments.
Medicaid
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 Tille 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 after the intermediary audit of the combined Medicare and Medicaid
cost report. 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, 2008.

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.
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, per capita (capitation), 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.

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.

During the year ended September 30, 2008, the System participated in the Trailblazers Section
1011 Federal Program that compensates healthcare providers for emergency services rendered to
undocumented illegal aliens who have no other means to pay their bills. Patients were pre-
screened to determine if they meet criteria for the program that only reimburses for initial
emergency and stabilization treatment. Payments were received on a quarterly basis and the
System was reimbursed a percentage of Medicare rates for inpatients and outpatients. The
Trailblazers program was considered welfare and the difference between charges and the
expected payment was included in net patient service revenue in the consolidated statements of
operations. The funds for this program were exhausted as of September 30, 2008.
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, 2009 and 2008 was as follows:
2009
Charily care - charges foregone, based on established rates
Welfare - difference between established rates and
reimbursement received

reported claims and claims incurred but not reported. The accrued professional liability has been
discounted at a rate of 5% in 2009 and 2008. The discount on the accrual professional liability was
approximately $1,583,000 and $1,864,000 at September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
