NOTE 9 - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

Concurrent with the close of the Acquisition, PCHI simultaneously acquired title to substantially all of the real property acquired by the Company in the Acquisition. The Company received $5.0 million and PCHI guaranteed the Company's $45.0 million Loan. The Company remains primarily liable as the borrower under the $45.0 million Loan notwithstanding its guarantee by PCHI.  The $45.0 million Loan is cross-collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets and all of the real property of the Hospitals. All of the Company's operating activities are directly affected by the real property that was sold to PCHI, which is a related party entity that is affiliated with the Company through common ownership and control. As of December 31, 2011, PCHI was owned 51% by various physician investors and 49% by Ganesha (Dr. Chaudhuri and Mr. Thomas). A company is required to consolidate the financial statements of any entity that cannot finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, and for which one company provides the majority of that support through means other than ownership. Effective March 8, 2005, the Company determined that it provided the majority of financial support to PCHI through various sources including lease payments, remaining primarily liable under the $45.0 million Loan, and cross-collateralization of the Company's non-real estate assets to secure the $45.0 million Loan. Accordingly, the financial statements of PCHI are included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

PCHI's assets, liabilities, and accumulated deficit are set forth below.

	December 31,  2011			March 31,  2011
Cash	$	49		$	330
Property, net		41,306			42,273
Other		168			70
Total assets	$	41,523		$	42,673
Debt (as guarantor)	$	45,000		$	45,000
Other		562			634

Deficiency		(4,039	)		(2,961	)
Total liabilities and accumulated deficit	$	41,523		$	42,673

As noted above, PCHI is a guarantor on the $45.0 million Loan should the Company not be able to perform.  PCHI's total liabilities represent the Company's maximum exposure to loss.

PCHI rental income and the Company’s related rental expense of $1.9 million and $1.8 million were eliminated upon consolidation for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $5.6 million and $5.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company has a lease commitment to PCHI (Note 12). Additionally, the Company is responsible for seismic remediation under the terms of the lease agreement (Note 2).
