GUAM MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AUTHORITY (A COMPONENT UNIT OF THE GOVERNMENT OF GUAM) ___________________________________ FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ___________________________________ YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019 Deloitte & Touche LLP 361 South Marine Corps Drive Tamuning, GU 96913-3973 USA Tel: +1 (671) 646-3884 Fax: +1 (671) 649-4265 www.deloitte.com INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT Board of Trustees Guam Memorial Hospital Authority: Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Guam Memorial Hospital Authority (GMHA), a component unit of the Government of Guam, which comprise the statements of net position as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the related statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position and of cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. 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 an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits 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 audits 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 entity'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 entity’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 opinion. 1 Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Guam Memorial Hospital Authority as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, and the changes in its net position and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Emphasis of Matter Going Concern The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that GMHA will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 15 to the financial statements, GMHA has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 15. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. COVID-19 As discussed in Note 16 to the financial statements, GMHA determined that the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impact its business, results of operations and financial position. However, due to uncertainty surrounding the duration of the pandemic, GMHA is unable to reasonably estimate its ultimate financial impact. Our opinion is not modified with respect to these matters. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis on pages 4 through 16 as well as the Schedules of Proportional Share of the Net Pension Liability on pages 51 through 53, the Schedule of Pension Contributions on page 54, the Schedule of Changes in Net OPEB Liability and Related Ratios on page 55, the Schedule of the Proportionate Share of the Total OPEB Liability on page 56 and the Schedule of OPEB Employer Contributions on page 57 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by GASB 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. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Other Financial Information Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The schedules of expenses, patient service revenues by patient classification, and billings and collections and reconciliation of billings to gross patient revenues on pages 58 to 62 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. 2 The schedules of expenses, patient service revenues by patient classification, and billings and collections and reconciliation of billings to gross patient revenues are the responsibility of management, and were derived from, and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedules of expenses, patient service revenues by patient classification, and billings and collections and reconciliation of billings to gross patient revenues are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole. The schedule of full time employee count on page 63 has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated April 12, 2021, on our consideration of GMHA'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 GMHA’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 GMHA’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.
