During fiscal 3/31/2018,compensation to Dr. Bailey, Dr. Schlosser, and Dr. Andersen fell below the reportable Schedule L threshold, and did not compromise voting independence for these particular services.LVCHO had a service contract with Lompoc Valley Medical Center (LVMC) for the provision of healthcare services, which are now provided by a Primary Care Clinic owned by LVMC. LVCHO Board members James Raggio and Ray Down serve LVMC in the capacity of CEO and Board member, respectively. Since LVMC owns the Primary Care Clinic, this material business transaction is reportable on the schedule L. The transaction amount listed represents the amount that LVCHO paid to the Primary Care Clinic in the aggregate for all contract medical services received during the year.This reportable business transaction impairs the voting independence of Mr. Raggio and Mr. Down as Board Members.Lompoc Valley Medical Center (LVMC) - is a tax exempt governmental entity.

Donors made cash donations without the receipt of any goods or services, and the donor was properly notified of the deductible value of the donation they made.
