Title: Principles of Consolidation Accounting Policies: The accompanying consolidated schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Logan Health and Subsidiaries (Corporation) under programs of the federal government for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The information is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Corporation, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Corporation. Expenditures reported in the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. No federal assistance has been provided to a subrecipient. De Minimis Rate Used: Y Rate Explanation: The Corporation has elected to use the 10% de minimis cost rate for certain grants. The consolidated schedule of expenditures of federal awards includes the federal grant activity of Logan Health and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the Corporation), which received federal financial assistance. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated schedule of expenditures of federal awards.

Title: Provider Relief Funds and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution Accounting Policies: The accompanying consolidated schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Logan Health and Subsidiaries (Corporation) under programs of the federal government for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The information is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Corporation, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Corporation. Expenditures reported in the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. No federal assistance has been provided to a subrecipient. De Minimis Rate Used: Y Rate Explanation: The Corporation has elected to use the 10% de minimis cost rate for certain grants. The Corporation received funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution (PRF) program (Federal Financial Assistance Listing #93.498), which were included within the Provider Relief Fund contribution line of the consolidated statements of operations. For the nine month period ended December 31,2023 and the year ended March 31, 2023, the Corporation recorded $216,309 and $5,446,968 of PRF funds related to Period 5 and Period 6 (defined below). The PRF expenditures are recognized on the Schedule when the expenditures were included in the reporting to HHS for Period 5, defined as payments received between January 1, 2022 and June 30, 2022; and for Period 6, defined as payments received between July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022. The amounts recognized in the Schedule for Periods 5 and 6, including interest, were $5,123,083 and $540,194, respectively. The total amount of PRF expenditures included on the SEFA requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Accordingly, such expenditures are considered a significant estimate. Estimates and assumptions may include reducing actual expenses by amounts that have been reimbursed or are obligated to be reimbursed by other sources and estimating marginal increases in expenses related to coronavirus. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
