INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Board of Directors
Prime Healthcare Services, Inc., and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Prime Healthcare Services, Inc., and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Prime Healthcare Services, Inc., and Subsidiaries’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards Public Company Accounting Oversight (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting of Prime Healthcare Services, Inc. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Prime Healthcare Services, Inc., and Subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, Prime Healthcare Services, Inc. adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities effective January 1, 2005. Prime Healthcare Services, Inc. has accounted for the effect of the adoption as a cumulative effect change in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2005.

All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The consolidation of these entities does not change any legal ownership, and does not change the assets or the liabilities and equity of PHSI as a stand-alone entity. However, certain creditors of the non-controlling interest entity have recourse to the general credit of the Company.
Net patient service revenue - 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. In some cases, reimbursement is based on formulas which cannot be determined until cost reports are filed and audited or otherwise settled by the various programs. Normal estimation differences between final settlements and amounts accrued in previous years are reflected in net patient service revenue.
Premium revenue and medical claims expense - The Company has agreements with various Health Maintenance Organizations (“HMO”) to provide medical services to enrollees. Under these agreements, the Company receives monthly capitation revenue based on the number of each HMO’s enrollees, regardless of services actually performed by the Company. Premium revenue under HMO contracts is recognized during the period in which the Company is obligated to provide services. Certain of the HMO contracts also contain shared-risk provisions whereby the Company can earn additional incentive revenue or incur penalties based upon the utilization of inpatient hospital services by assigned HMO enrollees. The Company records shared-risk revenue and expenses based upon inpatient utilization on an estimated basis. Differences between estimated shared-risk revenue or expenses and actual amounts are recorded upon final settlement with each HMO. Amounts due to unaffiliated health care providers for out of network claims are recognized as incurred. The amounts recorded are based upon projections of historical developments. Such projections are adjusted and estimates changed when developments of claims information warrant. Estimation differences are reflected in medical claims expenses.
Supplies inventory - Supplies inventory is stated at cost, determined by the average cost method, which is not in excess of market.
Property and equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 15 years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed over the lessor of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets and is included in depreciation and amortization expense.
Use of estimates - The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income taxes - As of and for the year ended December 31, 2005, income taxes were accounted for under the asset and liability method for deferred income taxes for PHSI, DVH, AVSCC and Veritas. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences in the financial reporting bases and the income tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities. When it appears more likely than not that deferred taxes will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the deferred tax asset to its estimated realizable value. The Company files consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiaries.

Note 2 — Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Effective January 1, 2006 PHSI, DVH, AVSCC and Veritas, filed an election to convert corporate status from Sub chapter C corporations to Sub Chapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and state law. In addition, DVH, AVSCC, Veritas and PMSI are qualified Q subs of PHSI and are included in the PHSI consolidated income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2006. In lieu of corporate income taxes, the stockholders of PHSI will be taxed on their proportionate share of PHSI’s net income as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. HBH, La Palma, WAMC, and Montclair are single member LLCs. Their taxable income and loss will be included in the PHSI consolidated income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2006. However, PHSI is subject to various state and franchise taxes. PHSI may disburse funds necessary to satisfy the stockholders’ estimated income tax liabilities.
DVMG, PMSI and SOMGM have elected to be taxed under the provision of subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and state law. Under these provisions, the entities do not pay corporate income taxes on their taxable income. However, the entities are subject to California franchise taxes. In addition, the stockholders’ of the entities are liable for individual federal and state income taxes on taxable income. The Company may disburse funds necessary to satisfy the stockholders’ estimated tax liability.
Cash and cash equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Goodwill - Management evaluates goodwill, at a minimum, on an annual basis and whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using a combination of the income or discounted cash flow approach and market approach, which uses comparable data. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, the management of the Company determined that an impairment did not exist. However, if estimates or the related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges to reduce the carrying amount of this asset.
Fair value of financial instruments - The Company’s consolidated balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, patient accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and long-term liabilities. The Company considers the carrying amounts of current assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets to approximate the fair value of these financial instruments and their expected realization. The carrying amount of notes receivable and long-term debt approximated their fair value, based on current market rates of instruments of the same risks and maturities.
Note 3 — Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts at high credit quality financial institutions. The balances at times, may exceed the $100,000 federally insured limit.
Patient accounts receivable at December 31, 2006 and 2005 are comprised of the following: government programs, primarily Medicare 31% and 27%, respectively, Medi-Cal 25% and 21%, respectively, Healthcare maintenance and preferred provider organizations (managed care programs) 16% and 2%, respectively, and private pay and commercial insurance patients 28% and 50%, respectively. Management believes there are no credit risks associated with receivables from government programs. Receivables from managed care programs and others are from various payors who are subject to differing economic conditions and do not represent concentrated risks to the Company. Management continually monitors and adjusts the reserves associated with receivables, and does not require collateral. Losses due to bad debts have been within management’s estimates.

Note 6 — Professional Liability and Workers Compensation Insurance (continued)
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that a health care facility disclose the estimated costs of malpractice claims in the period of the incident of malpractice, if it is reasonably possible that liabilities may be incurred and losses can be reasonably estimated. The Company recognized an estimated liability based upon its claims experience to cover the Company’s potential exposure to incurred but unreported claims. The claim reserve is based on the best data available to the Company; however, the estimate is subject to a significant degree of inherent variability. Such an estimate is continually monitored and reviewed, and as the reserve is adjusted, the difference is reflected in current operations. While the ultimate amount of professional liability is dependent on future developments, management is of the opinion that the associated liabilities recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements is adequate to cover such claims. Management is aware of no potential professional liability claims whose settlement, if any, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position.
The Company has evaluated whether they are required to consolidate DVIL in accordance with FIN 46(R) as of December 31, 2006, and have determined that DVIL is not required to be consolidated.

Note 10 — Contingencies
The Company is aware of certain asserted and unasserted legal claims. While the outcome cannot be determined at this time, it is management’s opinion that the liability, if any, from these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.
The health care industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state, and local governments. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted at this time. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, accreditation, licensure, and government health care program participation requirements, reimbursement for patient services, and Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse. Recently, government activity has increased with respect to investigations and allegations concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse statutes and regulations by health care providers. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in exclusion from government health care program participation, together with the imposition of significant fines and penalties, as well as significant repayment for past reimbursement for patient services received. While the Company is subject to similar regulatory review, there are no reviews currently underway and management believes that the outcome of any potential regulatory review will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.
Management believes that the Company is in compliance with government law and regulations related to fraud and abuse and other applicable areas. While no material regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future governmental review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted at this time.
Note 11 — Legislation
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted on August 21, 1996, to assure health insurance portability, reduce health care fraud and abuse, guarantee security and privacy of health information and enforce standards for health information. Organizations were required to be in compliance with certain HIPAA privacy provisions beginning April 2003. Organizations are subject to significant fines and penalties if found not to be compliant with the provisions outlined in the regulations. Management believes that the Company is in compliance with HIPAA.
