Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the District's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Opinions In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and the major fund of the District, as of December 31, 2018, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Management has omitted the management's discussion and analysis and the budgetary comparison analysis that the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinions on the basic financial statements are not affected by the missing information. Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the District's financial statements. The supplementary information, the District Revenue Compared with Maintenance and Operational Expenditures of the Hospital (supplementary information), is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. The supplementary information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 26, 2019 on our consideration of the District's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the District's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Bonner General Hospital, Inc. (the Hospital) is a tax-exempt Idaho corporation organized for the purpose of constructing, maintaining, operating, and holding title to the Hospital facility in Bonner County. A cooperative agreement has existed between the District and the Hospital since 1981. This agreement provides that the Boards will jointly formulate the Hospital's operating budget and that certain operating costs shall be the responsibility of the District to be paid from the tax revenue available to the District. The District functions as an intermediary through which property taxes are levied for the purpose of providing financial support to the Hospital by Board resolution, toward payment of maintenance and operation expenditures. The financial statements of the District have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. Financial Reporting Entity These statements present only the funds of the District in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide column of the financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. There were no program revenues in 2018. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. As allowed under GASB 34, the District is reported as a "Single Purpose Entity."This allows for the government-wide financial statements to be combined with the fund-level, which is the General Fund, financial statements. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation The government-wide column of the financial statements is reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Pend Oreille Hospital District Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2018 The governmental fund column of the financial statements is reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. Property taxes and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government. The District reports the following major governmental fund: General Fund -The District is a general fund. The general fund is used for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Property Taxes Receivable and Deferred Inflows of Resources Property taxes are recognized as revenue when the amount of taxes levied is measurable, and proceeds are available to finance current period expenditures. Available tax proceeds include property tax receivables expected to be collected within 60 days after year end. Property taxes attach as liens on properties on January 1, and are levied in September of each year. Tax notices are sent to taxpayers during November, with tax payments scheduled to be collected on or before December 20. Taxpayers may pay all or one half of their tax liability on or before December 20, and if one half of the amount is paid, they may pay the remaining balance by the following June 20. Since the District is on a December 31 fiscal year end, property taxes levied during September for collection in December are recorded as revenue. The succeeding year's June collections are recorded as deferred inflows of resources at the District's year end and recognized as revenue in the following fiscal year. Bonner County bills and collects taxes for the District. Deferred inflows of resources represent an increase in net position that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until then. The deferred inflows of resources reported in the financial statements are related to property taxes. Property taxes will be recognized as revenue in the year they become available. Liability, due to Bonner General Hospital, Inc. The liability, due to Bonner General Hospital, Inc. includes the property taxes to be received that will be transferred to Bonner General Hospital, Inc. Note 2-Explanation of Differences Between the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet and the Statement of Net Position "Total fund balances"in the District's governmental fund may differ from the "net position"of the governmental activities reported in the statement of net position as a result of the long-term economic focus of the statement of net position versus the current financial resources focus of the governmental fund balance sheet. Some of the property taxes receivable are not available to pay for current period expenditures and, therefore, are deferred inflows at the fund level $ 534,710 Some payments to Bonner General Hospital, Inc. are not due and payable in the current period and, therefore, are not reported at the fund level. All liabilities - both current and long-term are reported on the statement of net position. $ (534,710) Note 3-Explanation of Differences Between Governmental Fund Operating Statements and the Statement of Activities The "net change in fund balances"for governmental funds may differ from the "change in net position"for governmental activities reported in the statement of activities as a result of the long-term economic focus of the statement of activities versus the current financial resource focus of the governmental funds. Some property tax revenue in the statement of activities that does not provide current financial resources is not reported as revenue at the fund level. $ 49,181 Some expenditures in support of Bonner General Hospital, Inc. in the statement of activities that does not use current financial resources is not reported as expenditure at the fund level. $ 49,181 Supplementary Information December 31, 2018 Pend Oreille Hospital District Pend Oreille Hospital District District Revenue Compared with Maintenance and Operational Expenditures of the Hospital Year Ended December 31, 2018 Revenue $ 1,308,527 Maintenance and Operational Expenditure Maintenance 1,044,100 Rental/leased equipment 2,025,682 Fuel 1,004 Electricity 250,964 Gas 74,464 Water 72,159 Garbage disposal 46,305 Telephone 50,093 Insurance 763,579 Total maintenance and operational expenditures 4,328,350 Excess of Maintenance and Operational Expenditures of Bonner General Hospital, Inc., Over District Revenue $ (3,019,823) Independent Auditor's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards The Board of Directors Pend Oreille Hospital District Sandpoint, Idaho We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities and major fund of Pend Oreille Hospital District (the District) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated March 26, 2019. Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the District's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified. We did identify certain deficiencies in internal control, describe in the accompanying schedule of findings and responses as item 2018-1 that we consider to be a material weakness. Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the District's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, and contracts, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. The District's Response to Findings The District's response to the findings identified in our audit is described in the accompanying schedule of findings. The District's response was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the District's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. Boise, Idaho March 26, 2019 Pend Oreille Hospital District Schedule of Findings and Responses Year Ended December 31, 2018 Material Weakness 2018-1 Financial Statement Preparation Condition: Management does not have an internal control system in place designed to provide for the preparation of the financial statements being audited. Criteria: The District does not have an internal control system designed to provide for the preparation of the financial statements and accompanying notes to the financial statements. This circumstance is not unusual in an organization of this size. It is the responsibility of management and those charged with governance to make the decision whether to accept the degree of risk associated with this condition because of the cost or other conditions. Effect: Management must rely on the auditing firm to report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Cause: The size of the organization and the limited number of accounting personnel makes it difficult to implement this level of internal control. Recommendation: Management should consider the costs and benefits of preparing their own report. Management's Response: Management is in agreement with the finding. Corrective Action Plan (CAP) Actions Planned in Response to Finding: We will rely on our auditors to prepare the financial statements. Explanation of Disagreement: None Planned Completion for Correction Action: Undetermined Plan to Monitor Completion of Corrective Action: Undetermined SNP LEGAL 6686 AD# 283613 APRIL 17, 2019
