, patients and others comply with applicable healthcare laws and regulations will require substantial resources. Various state, federal and foreign regulatory and enforcement agencies continue actively to investigate violations of healthcare laws and regulations, and the United States Congress continues to strengthen the arsenal of enforcement tools. It is possible that governmental authorities will conclude that LNHC’s business practices do not comply with current or future statutes, regulations or case law involving applicable healthcare laws and regulations. If LNHC’s operations are found to be in violation of any of these laws or any other governmental regulations that may apply to LNHC, LNHC may be subject to costly investigations, significant civil, criminal and administrative monetary penalties, imprisonment, damages, fines, disgorgement, exclusion from government funded healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, contractual damages, diminished profits and future earnings, and the curtailment or restructuring of LNHC’s operations, any of which could substantially disrupt LNHC’s operations or financial results.

The cost of compliance with these laws, regulations, and standards is high and likely to increase in the future. In the United States, numerous federal and state laws and regulations govern the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of personal information, including state data breach notification laws, federal and state health information privacy laws, and federal
