Financial Data Analysis
This paper will cover an analysis of the financial statements of Patton-Fuller Hospital for
the years of 2008 and 2009. The analysis is bases on the Balance Sheets and the Statements of
Revenue and Expenses for the above years along with the written annual report.
There were significant differences between the two years. According to the 2009 annual
report, a patient that has passed away in 2008 had left the hospital $1,000,000 in her will. This
was a huge help to the hospital as in took some hits in the year as well. The return on
investments was negatively affected by the drop in the stock market and real estate. On top of
this, the cost of supplies was massively underestimated by $1,000,000. They finally settled some
disputes with some managed care companies which resulted in a 9% increase in net patient
income over the previous years. This settlement did allow for slower payments, however, so the
Patient Accounts Receivable has risen. This should show up as a gain in 2010 when the
payments start to catch up with the 2009 charges. There was almost a $20,000 difference in
Patient Accounts Receivable with 2009 being the highest.
The drop in the stock market also caused the equipment vendors to drop their prices so
they were able to obtain some much needed new equipment at a discounted price. They had to
use cash and release some of their restricted assets, but the purchases were a good deal on
necessities.
Because of the rise in Accounts Receivable and the huge underestimate of needed
supplies, a business management committee was formed to oversee the efficiencies of the
business office.
They were able to keep the expenses down by showing only a 3% increase over the
previous year. The 9% increase in receivables and the 3% increase in expenses still prove a gain

of 6% profit. The CEO and the CFO received their bonuses, and the physicians were paid very
well for the hard work of all of the staff at their physician owned Patton – Fuller Hospital.
Balance Sheet
On the balance sheet, it shows around $20,000 less in cash in 2009 than in 2008.
However, due to the availability of the new equipment at a low price, cash was spent on this;
thus there is approximately $40,000 more in total assets in 2009 than 2008. Since the hospital
took out a long term loan, according to the annual report, which is showing up in the liabilities,
both as a portion of the long-term debt and the entire long-term debt. This loan makes the
liabilities in 2009 close to $250,000 more than in 2008. However, the loan was necessary due to
the stock market and other economic developments. There is a concern with the loan having an
adjustable interest rate rather than a fixed rate. The interest rate on the loan could have a positive
or negative affect on the balance sheet for 2010 and beyond.
Statement of Revenue and Expense
The Statement of Revenue and Expense shows that Net Patient Revenue was up in 2009
over $40,000 from 2008. There was only a $6,000 increase in salaries and benefits and a
depreciation of over $10,000 from 2008 to 2009. The total expense was increased just around
$25,000 more in 2009 from 2008.
Conclusion
The balance sheet and the statement of revenue and expense are both very beneficial and
necessary is the health care industry. Both statements show how much money is coming in and
where it is coming from. They both also show how much is being spent and what is being
purchased. In this case, it shows that the supplies’ being hugely underestimated was a major
concern. It could have been a disaster had it not been for the passing of one of their patients and

her leaving the hospital $1,000,000 in her will. The statements along with the annual report give
a very accurate account of the financial status of the hospital which appears to be in good
standing. The interest rate of the long-term loan, as will health care reform both have a major
effect on the finances of this hospital in the years to follow.
