“Mainehealth has established an information systems project, known as the shared electronic health record (sehr), to implement a system-wide integrated electronic health record system and financial system. In 2014, funding for a portion of the sehr project was acquired by mainehealth through the issuance of a tax exempt revenue bond through the finance authority of maine in the amount of 94,800,000. Section 168 of the internal revenue code requires that projects funded by tax-exempt sources of financing be depreciated using the alternative depreciation system (ads). The ads system requires that computer technology systems be depreciated over a period of 60 months. For generally accepted accounting principles (gaap), mainehealth is using between 120 and 144 month useful lives for the sehr system, as management believes that these periods better reflect the useful life given the amount invested and the complexity of implementation. The fiscal year 2017 book to tax depreciation adjustment of 20,651,848 was recorded as an increase to current year depreciation expense. Had the current year book to tax difference not been recorded, mainehealth would have reported a net loss for fy 2016 of 6,171,426.”
