| INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS INFORMATION | CORE FORM, PART VII, SECTION B | This organization is THE PARENT ENTITY OF the St. Luke's University Health Network; a tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery NETWORK. This organization's Form 990 reflects no top five independent contractors for services and that no Forms 1099 were filed with the Internal Revenue Service.

| BALANCE SHEET RESTATEMENT | CORE FORM, PART X | In 2012, St. Luke's determined that the estimated fair value of the total return interest rate swaps were not correct in that they did not reflect the estimated current market prices that would be considered in a termination payment as of the balance sheet date if St. Luke's were to elect to terminate the swaps without redeeming the bonds. Although St. Luke's has no intention to do so, the agreements allow for this possibility and, as a result, must be taken into consideration in determining the estimated fair value of the swaps on a standalone basis. Management has evaluated this error and concluded that it was not material to any prior period. As a result, a revision has been made to correct the previously issued financial statements to account for a related unrealized loss on the value of the swaps. This change has also been reflected in Part X of the Core Form of this Form 990. |
