Remarks: S&P revised its rating outlook to
stable from negative on Leesburg, FL’s series 2002 and 2003 hospital revenue bonds and affirmed the BBB+ rating. The revised outlook reflects S&P’s assessment of CFHA’s improved operating results for the past fiscal year and for the first five months of fiscal 2011. The overall rating reflects S&P’s view of CFHA’s solid business position and adequate balance sheet offset by a weaker income statement that management is working to correct with expense management and growth initiatives in a challenging payer mix environment.
