Note 1. – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2014 and for the three month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, as such, do not include all information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated June 30, 2014 balance sheet included in this interim filing has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and related notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the SunLink Health Systems, Inc. (“SunLink”, “we”, “our”, “ours”, “us” or the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, filed with the SEC on September 26, 2014. In the opinion of management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which are unaudited, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods indicated. The results of operations for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other interim period.

Note 2. – Business Operations

Business Operations

SunLink Health Systems, Inc., through subsidiaries, owns businesses which are providers of healthcare services in certain markets in the United States. SunLink’s business is composed of the ownership of two business segments:

SunLink subsidiaries have conducted the healthcare facilities business since 2001 and the specialty pharmacy business since April 2008. The Specialty Pharmacy Segment currently is operated through Carmichael’s Cashway Pharmacy, Inc. (“Carmichael”), a subsidiary of SunLink ScriptsRx, LLC.

Note 3. – Discontinued Operations

All of the businesses discussed in the note below are reported as discontinued operations and the condensed consolidated financial statements for all prior periods have been adjusted to reflect this presentation.

5

Results for all of the businesses included in discontinued operations are presented in the following table:

Dexter Hospital – On December 31, 2012, the Company completed the sale of substantially all the assets and the leasehold interest of its subsidiary, Dexter Hospital, LLC (“Dexter”), for approximately $9,930. The assets of Dexter consisted of a leased 50-bed acute care hospital and related clinics, equipment, and home health services in Dexter, Missouri. Dexter retained accounts receivable and certain other assets, including the right to Medicare and Medicaid incentive payments (“EHR Funds”) for meaningful use of electronic health record technology and substantially all liabilities of the hospital as of December 31, 2012. Dexter’s operations have been classified as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Memorial Hospital of Adel – On July 2, 2012, the Company and its HealthMont of Georgia, Inc. subsidiary completed the sale of substantially of all the assets of the Company’s Memorial Hospital of Adel and Memorial Convalescent Center (collectively “Memorial”) for approximately $8,350. Memorial’s operations have been classified as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Life Sciences and Engineering Segment – SunLink retained a defined benefit retirement plan which covered substantially all of the employees of this segment when the segment was sold in fiscal 1998. Effective February 28, 1997, the plan was amended to freeze participant benefits and close the plan to new participants. Pension expense and related tax benefit or expense is reflected in the results of operations for this segment for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The components of pension expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were as follows:

SunLink contributed $0 to the plan in the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Note 4. – Shareholders’ Equity

Stock-Based Compensation

For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized $6 and $16, respectively, in stock based compensation for options issued to employees and directors of the Company. The fair value of the share options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. There were no share options granted under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. There were no share options granted under the 2011 Director Stock Option Plan during the three months ended September 30, 2014 or 2013.

Note 5. – Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivables

The Company’s subsidiaries recognize revenues in the period in which services are performed. Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from third-party payors and patients. The Company’s subsidiaries’ ability to collect outstanding receivables is critical to their results of operations and cash flows. Amounts the Company’s subsidiaries receive for treatment of patients covered by governmental programs such as Medicare and Medicaid and other third-party payors such as health maintenance organizations (“HMOs”), preferred provider organizations (“PPOs”) and other private insurers are generally less than the Company’s subsidiaries’ established billing rates. Additionally, to provide for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future an allowance for doubtful accounts is established to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. Accordingly, the revenues and accounts receivable reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are recorded at the net amount expected to be received.

Revenues before provision for doubtful accounts by payor were as follows for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

The net revenues of the Specialty Pharmacy Segment are presented net of contractual adjustments. The provision for bad debts of the Specialty Pharmacy Segment is presented as a component of operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Summary information for account receivable is as follows:

7

The following is a summary of the activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the Healthcare Facilities Segment and the Specialty Pharmacy Segment for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

Net revenues included increases of $0 and $204 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for the settlements and filings of prior year Medicare and Medicaid cost reports.

Note 6. – Goodwill and Intangible Assets

SunLink’s Specialty Pharmacy Segment has goodwill and intangible assets related to its Carmichael acquisition. SunLink’s Healthcare Facilities Segment has intangible assets related to its Healthmont acquisition.

Goodwill consists of the following:

8

Intangibles consist of the following, net of amortization:

The trade name intangible asset under the Specialty Pharmacy Segment is a non-amortizing intangible asset.

Amortization expense was $36 and $36 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Note 7. – Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consisted of the following:

Callaway RDA Loan – SunLink, HealthMont of Missouri, LLC (“HOM”) and HealthMont LLC (“HLLC”), the direct parent of HOM closed on a $5,000 Loan Agreement dated as of March 16, 2012 (the “Callaway RDA Loan”) with a bank. HealthMont of Missouri, LLC owns and operates Callaway Community Hospital (“Callaway”) in Fulton, Missouri. The Loan Agreement consists of a $4,000 term loan and $1,000 construction loan. The $4,000 term loan was drawn in its entirety at closing and, as of June 30, 2014, the entirety of the $1,000 construction loan has been drawn. The Callaway RDA Loan is guaranteed by HLLC and the Company.

The Callaway RDA Loan was entered into with a term of 25 years with monthly payments of principal and interest. The Callaway RDA Loan bears a floating interest rate equal to the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 2% (5.25% at September 30, 2014). The Callaway RDA Loan is collateralized by Callaway’s real estate and equipment and is partially guaranteed under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development Business and Industry Program. Of the Callaway RDA Loan proceeds, $3,250 was applied as payment against the Company’s then outstanding Credit Facility. Approximately $1,000 of the Callaway RDA Loan proceeds were used to finance improvements, including to provide an inpatient geriatric psychiatry unit and an emergency department upgrade, with the remainder of the Callaway RDA Loan proceeds used for working capital and closing costs.

9

The Callaway RDA Loan contains certain financial covenants with respect to the ratio of current assets to current liabilities and debt service coverage, all as defined in the Callaway RDA Loan Agreement and measured at the end of each fiscal year. At June 30, 2014 covenant measurement date, Callaway was not in compliance with the funded debt to EBITDA ratio. The Company is currently discussing a modification or waiver of this non-compliance with the lender, as of November 14, 2014, such waiver has not been received. As a result, the amount of indebtedness under the Callaway RDA Loan of $4,782 and $4,801 is presented in current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014. If Callaway is unable to obtain a waiver of the non-compliance, the lender under the Callaway RDA Loan would, among other things, be entitled to call a default and demand repayment of the indebtedness outstanding from Callaway or from the Company under its guarantee of such indebtedness. The ability of Callaway and the Company to make the required debt service under the Callaway RDA Loan depends on, among other things, the ability of Callaway and the Company to generate sufficient cash flows, including from operating activities. If Callaway or the Company are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet debt service on the Callaway RDA loan or the guarantee, including in the event the lender were to declare an event of default and accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness, such failure could have material adverse effects on the Company. Although Callaway and the Company believe they will be able to obtain a waiver, the Company cannot assure you that a waiver will be obtained or the timing thereof.

Trace RDA Loan and Trace Working Capital Loan – On July 11, 2012, SunLink, MedCare South, LLC (formerly known as SunLink Healthcare, LLC) (“MedCare”), a wholly owned subsidiary or the Company, and Southern Health Corporation of Houston, Inc. (“SHCH”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, closed on a $9,975 Mortgage Loan Agreement dated as of July 5, 2012 (“Trace RDA Loan”) and up to a $1,000 Working Capital Loan Agreement dated as of July 5, 2012 (“Trace Working Capital Loan”) with a bank. SHCH owns and operates Trace Regional Hospital “Trace”) in Houston, Mississippi.

The Trace RDA Loan has a term of 15 years with monthly payments of principal and interest until repaid. The Trace RDA Loan bears a floating rate of interest equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 1.5%, or (ii) 6% (6.0% at September 30, 2014). The Trace RDA Loan is collateralized by Trace’s real estate and equipment and is partially guaranteed under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development Business and Industry Program. Approximately $8,500 of the Trace RDA Loan proceeds was used to repay a portion of the Company’s senior debt under the Term Loan under the then outstanding Credit Facility. Approximately $850 of the Trace RDA Loan proceeds were used for improvements to the hospital and its medical office building with the remainder of the loan proceeds used for working capital and closing costs.

The Trace Working Capital Loan as amended provides for a revolving line of credit to SHCH equal to the lesser of (i) a Borrowing Base equal to eighty percent (80%) of Eligible Accounts Receivable (as defined in the Working Capital Loan Agreement dated July 5, 2012) or (ii) (a) prior to September 30, 2014, $1,000; (b) for the quarter ending December 31, 2014, $875; (c) for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, $750; (d) for the quarter ending June 30, 2015, $625; and (e) thereafter, $500. The Trace Working Capital Loan expires July 2, 2015. It is subject to annual renewal at the discretion of the lender. At September 30, 2014, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Trace Working Capital Loan.

The Trace RDA Loan contains various terms and conditions, including financial restrictions and limitations, and affirmative and negative covenants. The covenants include financial covenants measured on a quarterly basis which require our SHCH subsidiary to comply with a ratio of current assets to current liabilities, debt service coverage, fixed charge coverage, and funded debt to EBITDA, all as defined in the Trace RDA Loan. If SHCH is unable to remain in compliance with the financial covenants, SHCH would cease to have a right to draw on the revolving working capital loan (of which $0 was drawn at September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014).

SHPP RDA Loan – On November 6, 2012, SunLink Healthcare Professional Property, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into and closed on a $2,100 term loan dated as of October 31, 2012 (the “SHPP RDA Loan”) with a bank. SHPP owns and leases a medical office building to Southern Health Corporation of Ellijay, Inc. (“SHC Ellijay”). SHC Ellijay owns and operates North Georgia Medical Center (“North Georgia”), located in Ellijay, Georgia.

The SHPP RDA Loan has a term of 25 years with monthly payments of principal and interest until repaid. The SHPP RDA Loan bears interest at a floating rate of interest equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 2.0%, or (ii) 5% (5.25% at September 30, 2014). The SHPP RDA Loan is collateralized by SHPP’s real estate, equipment and leases and is partially guaranteed under the U.S. Department

10

of Agriculture, Rural Development Business and Industry Program. Of the SHPP RDA Loan proceeds, $1,800 was used by SHC Ellijay to acquire a medical office building in Ellijay, Georgia which was then sold to SHPP, with the remainder of the SHPP RDA Loan proceeds used by SHPP for working capital and closing costs. The SHPP RDA Loan contains certain financial covenants with respect to the ratio of current assets to current liabilities and debt service coverage, all as defined in the SHPP RDA Loan Agreement, which SHPP must maintain and that are measured at the end of each fiscal year. The SHPP RDA Loan is guaranteed by the Company and MedCare.

Carmichael Notes – On April 22, 2008, SunLink Scripts Rx, LLC issued a $3,000 promissory note agreement with an interest rate of 8% to the former owners of Carmichael as part of the acquisition purchase price (the “Carmichael Purchase Note”). On April 12, 2012, an amendment to the Carmichael Purchase Note was entered into under which SunLink has the option to issue promissory notes to the former owners of Carmichael in payment of up to two semi-annual payments of principal and interest due under the Carmichael Purchase Note (the “PIK Notes”). The PIK Notes bear an interest rate of 8% and were to be due on April 22, 2015. A PIK Note for $247 was issued on April 22, 2012 for the principal and interest payment that would have been due on April 22, 2012. A PIK Note for $252 was issued on October 22, 2012 for the principal and interest payment that would have been due on October 22, 2012. The Carmichael Purchase Note and the PIK Notes were combined into one note (the “Carmichael Note” dated April 22, 2014 for the remaining balance payable of $1,852. The Carmichael Note is payable in one interest only payment of $75 due on October 22, 2014 and five semi-annual installments of $185 of principal and accrued interest commencing on April 22, 2015, with the remaining balance of the Carmichael Note of $1,255 due October 22, 2017. Interest is payable in arrears semi-annually on the six and twelve-month anniversary of the issuance of the note. The Carmichael Note is guaranteed by the Company.

Note 8. – Income Taxes

Income tax expense of $30 ($4 federal tax expense and $34 state tax benefit) and income tax benefit of $2 ($46 federal tax expense and $48 state tax benefit) was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the effective tax rate differed materially from the statutory rate primarily due to the requirements under ASC 740-20, “Intraperiod Tax Allocation” (“ASC 740-20”) which requires that the Company calculate its expected taxes for the fiscal year and apply the result to the current interim quarter without regard to the actual results of the current interim quarter.

At September 30, 2014, the Company had $8,553 of estimated net operating loss carry-forward for federal income tax purposes available for use in future years subject to the limitations of the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382. At September 30, 2014, we have provided a partial valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset so that the net tax asset was $7,427. Based upon management’s assessment that it was more likely than not that a portion of its deferred tax asset (primarily its net operating losses subject to limitation) would not be recovered, the Company established a valuation allowance for the portion of the tax asset which management estimates will not be utilized.

Note 9. – Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation – In 2007, Southern Health Corporation of Ellijay, Inc. (“SHC-Ellijay”) filed a Complaint against James P. Garrett and Roberta Mundy, both individually and as Fiduciary of the Estate of Randy Mundy (collectively, “Defendants”), seeking specific performance of an Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) dated April 17, 2007, between SHC-Ellijay, Mr. Garrett, and Ms. Mundy as Executrix of the Estate of Randy Mundy for the sale of approximately 24.74 acres of real property located in Gilmer County, Georgia, and recovery of SHC-Ellijay’s damages suffered as a result of Defendants’ failure to close the transaction in accordance with the Option Agreement. SHC-Ellijay also stated alternative claims for breach of the Option Agreement and fraud, along with claims to recover attorney’s fees and punitive damages and the defendants filed counterclaims against SHC-Ellijay.

After summary judgment against, and appeal by, the Defendants, a settlement was reached on November 3, 2014. In satisfaction of the Company’s claims against Defendants, the owner of the real property issued a five year limited-recourse interest-bearing promissory note in the principal amount of $600 to Castlemark Properties, LLC, one of the Company’s subsidiaries. The note is secured by a mortgage on the real property that was the subject of the option agreement. Castlemark Properties, LLC, will have a right to immediate payment of the note if the property is sold prior to maturity. If the owner does not sell the property prior to maturity and does not pay the note in full at maturity or deed the property to Castlemark Properties, LLC, then Castlemark Properties, LLC, will have a right to foreclose the mortgage and take title to the property. The litigation was dismissed by joint stipulation on or about November 12, 2014.

11

SunLink and its subsidiaries are a party to various medical malpractice and other claims and litigation incidental to its business, for which it is not currently possible to determine the ultimate liability, if any. Based on an evaluation of information currently available and consultation with legal counsel, management believes that resolution of such claims and litigation is not likely to but could have a material adverse effect on the financial position, cash flows, or results of operations of the Company. The Company expenses legal costs as they are incurred.

Office of Inspector General Investigation – In March 2013, SunLink received a document subpoena from the United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) in connection with an investigation of possible improper claims submitted to Medicare and Medicaid. The subpoena was directed to SunLink’s indirect subsidiary Southern Health Corporation of Dahlonega, Inc. (“SHCD”), which owns and operates Chestatee Regional Hospital in Dahlonega, Georgia, and requested documents concerning possible false or fraudulent claims made for intensive outpatient psychiatric services provided by and billed for a third-party outpatient psychiatric service provider. The subpoena also sought information about SHCD’s relationship with the outpatient psychiatric service provider, including financial arrangements. SHCD is continuing to cooperate with the government with respect to an ongoing document production, as well as conducting a joint medical necessity review of a sampling of medical records. We cannot at this time estimate what, if any, impact these matters and any results from these matters could have on our business, financial position, operating results or cash flows.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

Contractual obligations, commitments and contingencies related to long-term debt, non-cancelable operating leases and interest on outstanding debt from continuing operations at September 30, 2014 were as follows:

At September 30, 2014, SunLink had a guarantee agreement with one physician. A physician with whom a guarantee agreement is made generally agrees to maintain his or her practice within a hospital geographic area for a specific period (normally three years) or be liable to repay all or a portion of the guarantee received. The physician’s liability for any guarantee repayment due to non-compliance with the provisions of a guarantee agreement generally is collateralized by the physician’s patient accounts receivable and/or a promissory note from the physician. All potential payments payable under this one guarantee have been paid as of September 30, 2014. SunLink expensed $16 and $34 on physician guarantees and recruiting for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. There were no remaining non-cancelable commitments under guarantee agreements with physicians as of September 30, 2014.

12

Note 10. – Related Party Transactions

A director of the Company and the Company’s secretary are members of two different law firms, each of which provides services to SunLink. The Company has paid an aggregate of $98 and $160 for legal services to these law firms in the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014 is $98 and $166, respectively, of amounts payable to these law firms.

Note 11. – Financial Information by Segment

Under ASC Topic No. 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision-making group is composed of SunLink’s chief executive officer and other members of SunLink’s senior management. Our two reportable operating segments are Healthcare Facilities and Specialty Pharmacy.

We evaluate performance of our operating segments based on revenue and operating profit (loss). Segment information as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 and for the three months then ended is as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(dollars in thousands, except per share and admissions data)

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report and the documents that are incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts and may be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan” or “continue.” These forward-looking statements are based on current plans and expectations and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors which could significantly affect current plans and expectations and our future financial condition and results. These factors, which could cause actual results, performance and achievements to differ materially from those anticipated, include, but are not limited to:

General Business Conditions

Operational Factors

14

Liabilities, Claims, Obligations and Other Matters

Regulation and Governmental Activity

Dispositions, Acquisitions, and Renovation Related Matters

The foregoing are significant factors we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results. However, there could be additional factors besides those listed herein that also could affect SunLink in an adverse manner.

You should read this Quarterly Report completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. You are cautioned not to unduly rely on forward-looking statements when evaluating the information presented in this Quarterly Report or our other disclosures because current plans, anticipated actions, and future financial conditions and results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of SunLink.

We have not undertaken any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. All of our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are made or, if a date is specified, as of such date.

Business Strategy: Operations, Dispositions and Acquisitions, and Going Private

SunLink’s business strategy is to focus its efforts on improving internal operations of its existing healthcare facilities and its pharmacy business. We also consider from time to time potential healthcare acquisitions and dispositions, including but not limited to hospitals, physician clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, nursing, long-term care and assisted living homes, medical office buildings and pharmacy businesses. We consider dispositions of facilities or operations based on a variety of factors including asset values, return on investments, competition from existing and potential competitors, capital improvement needs, corporate strategy and other corporate objectives.

Our efforts over the last two years have been more focused on the disposition of hospital facilities than on acquisitions due to our financial position and need to reduce our leverage and interest expense, the changing nature of certain of our subsidiary hospital markets resulting in, among other things, substantial additional competition, and pressure from Federal and state programs (e.g., Medicare and Medicaid) and private payors to reduce reimbursement for medical services. In July 2012, we sold our Adel, Georgia hospital and its related nursing home, and in December 2012, we sold our Dexter, Missouri hospital and its related home health agency. We currently have engaged advisors to advise us on and to assist us with the possible sale of two other hospital facilities.

Although the Company’s situation could change, based on our current financial position as well as uncertainties in the healthcare industry, we are limited in our ability to seek acquisitions for either our Healthcare Facilities Segment or our Specialty Pharmacy Segment. However, during the last fiscal year, we have evaluated certain rural and exurban hospitals, pharmacy operations and healthcare facilities and businesses which were for sale and monitored other selected acquisition targets which we believed might become available for sale. Although we have no current plans to do so, from time to time we may consider the acquisition of other complementary based healthcare businesses, outside of our existing business segments, which are or may become available for acquisition.

Going Private Strategy

The Company’s Board of Director and management each continues to believe that deregistering the Company’s common shares would result in significant cost savings.

On February 5, 2013, the Company announced the commencement of a tender offer to purchase at the price of $1.50 per share in cash all of its common shares held by holders of 99 or fewer shares (“odd lots”) who owned such shares as of the close of business on February 1, 2013 (“Odd Lot Tender Offer”). In addition to the $1.50 per share price, the Company offered each eligible tendering holder a bonus of one hundred dollars ($100) upon completion of the Odd Lot Tender Offer for the tender of all shares beneficially owned by such holder which were received and not withdrawn prior to the date of expiration of the Odd Lot Tender offer, which was March 26, 2013. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer, SunLink accepted for purchase a total of 2,631 common shares of SunLink tendered by 68 holders pursuant to the Offer.

The primary purpose of the Odd Lot Tender Offer was to reduce the number of holders of record of the Company’s common shares in order to permit the Company to deregister the common shares with the SEC. Since the Odd Lot Tender Offer did not result in the Company’s qualifying to deregister with the SEC, however, the Board will likely consider other alternatives to achieve that result, including a further tender offer, a reverse stock split or cash out merger (in which a new corporation is formed to merge with the Company and holders of Company shares are cashed out), so long as the Board continues to believe that deregistration remains in the Company’s best interests. For an extended discussion of the purposes and reasons for going private, see Section 2 of the Company’s Offer to Purchase filed as Exhibit 99.A.1.A to the Company’s Schedule 13E-3 filed with the SEC on February 5, 2013.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if:

Our critical accounting estimates are more fully described in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K and continue to include the following areas:

Financial Summary

The results of continuing operations shown in the financial summary below are for our two business segments, Healthcare Facilities and Specialty Pharmacy.

Equivalent admissions – Equivalent admissions is used by management (and certain investors) as a general measure of combined inpatient and outpatient volume for our hospital operations. Equivalent admissions are computed by multiplying admissions (inpatient volume) by the sum of gross inpatient revenues and gross outpatient revenues and dividing the result by gross inpatient revenues. The equivalent admissions computation is intended to relate outpatient revenues to the volume measure (admissions) used to measure inpatient volume to result in a general approximation of combined inpatient and outpatient volume (equivalent admissions).

Results of Operations

Healthcare Facilities Segment Net Revenues

The following table sets forth the percentage of net patient revenues from major payors for the Healthcare Facilities Segment for the periods indicated:

Healthcare facilities patient days increased 4.1% in the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the prior year. Medicare as a percentage of net patient revenue decreased slightly in the three months ended September 30, 2014. Medicare patient days in the geriatric psychiatric units (“GPUs”) did increase 13.0% in current year due to increased admissions at certain facilities. Medicare patient days for the three GPUs increased from 54.2% of total Medicare patient days for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 to 58.2% of total Medicare patient days for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Medicaid net patient revenues increased $199 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to the comparable prior year quarter. Managed Care Insurance and Other net revenues as a percentage of total net revenues decreased in the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the comparable prior year periods due to decreased revenue as a result of lower insurance reimbursement rated. Self-pay net revenues decreased $113 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Specialty Pharmacy Segment Net Revenues

Specialty Pharmacy net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $7,454, an increase of $612, or 8.9%, from $6,842 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was a result of new business generated during the current period, primarily institutional pharmacy services.

Healthcare Facilities Segment Cost and Expenses

Costs and expenses for our Healthcare Facilities Segment, including depreciation and amortization, were $17,790 and $18,339 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Supplies as a percentage of net revenues increased for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase resulted from increased costs associated with the 15% increase in surgeries at the hospital facilities this year compared to the prior year quarter.

18

Other operating expenses decreased as a percentage of net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the comparable prior year period due to decreased insurance expense resulting from lower professional and general liability claims incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $460 and $532, respectively. The decrease in the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 was due to assets being fully depreciated in the current year periods as compared to the prior year periods.

Specialty Pharmacy Segment Cost and Expenses

Cost and expenses for our Specialty Pharmacy Segment, including depreciation and amortization, were $7,315 and $6,936 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Cost of goods sold as a percent of net revenues decreased in the three month period ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the comparable period of the prior year due to the current period sales product mix and increased sales volume in the current period as compared to the comparable prior year period. Decreases in expense as a percent of net revenues resulted for most expense categories due to the increased sales volume.

Purchase services expense as a percent of net revenues increased in the three month period ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the comparable period of the prior year due to costs related to the implementation net growth in the institutional pharmacy business.

Provision for bad debts as a percent of net revenues decreased in the three month period ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the comparable period of the prior year due primarily to the collection of receivables fully reserved in past periods.

Corporate Overhead Costs and Expenses

Cost and expenses for Corporate Overhead including depreciation and amortization, was $754 and $1,167 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Operating Loss

SunLink had an operating loss of $75 and $864 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decreased operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the prior year period resulted from the increased Specialty Pharmacy net revenues and the decrease in insurance expense.

19

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $299 and $312 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased from the same period last year due to a decreased in outstanding debt in the current year.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense of $30 ($4 federal tax expense and $34 state tax benefit) and income tax benefit of $2 ($46 federal tax expense and $48 state tax benefit) was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the effective tax rate differed materially from the statutory rate primarily due to the requirements under ASC 740-20, “Intraperiod Tax Allocation” (“ASC 740-20”) which requires that the Company calculate its expected taxes for the fiscal year and apply the result to the current interim quarter without regard to the actual results of the current interim quarter.

At September 30, 2014, the Company had $8,553 of estimated net operating loss carry-forward for federal income tax purposes available for use in future years subject to the limitations of the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382. At September 30, 2014, we have provided a partial valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset so that the net tax asset was $7,427. Based upon management’s assessment that it was more likely than not that a portion of its deferred tax asset (primarily its net operating losses subject to limitation) would not be recovered, the Company established a valuation allowance for the portion of the tax asset which management estimates will not be utilized.

Loss After Taxes

Loss from continuing operations was $403 ($0.04 loss per fully diluted share) for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to loss from continuing operations of $1,174 ($0.12 loss per fully diluted share) for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decreased loss for the three months ended September 30, 2014 resulted from decreased operating loss and interest expense partially offset by decreased income tax benefit as compared to the comparable prior year period.

The loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $10 compared to net earnings from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $16.

Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was $413 ($0.04 loss per fully diluted share) compared to a net loss of $1,158 ($0.12 loss per fully diluted share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Adjusted earnings before income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization

Earnings before income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) represent the sum of income before income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization. We understand that certain industry analysts and investors generally consider EBITDA to be one measure of the liquidity of a company, and it is presented to assist analysts and investors in analyzing the ability of a company to generate cash, service debt and meet capital requirements. We believe increased EBITDA is an indicator of improved ability to service existing debt and to satisfy capital requirements. EBITDA, however, is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should not be considered an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash liquidity. Because EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other corporations. Where we adjust EBITDA for non-cash charges we refer to such measurement as “Adjusted EBITDA”, which we report on a company wide basis. Non-cash adjustments in Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be identified or characterized in any respect as “non-recurring, infrequent or unusual,” if we believe such charge is reasonably likely to recur within two years, or if there was a similar charge (or gain) within the prior two years. Where we report Adjusted EBITDA, we typically also report Healthcare Facilities Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Specialty Pharmacy Segment Adjusted EBITDA which is the EBITDA for the applicable segments without any allocation of corporate overhead, which we report as a separate line item, without gains on sales of businesses and without any allocation of the non-cash adjustments, which we also report as a separate line item in Adjusted EBITDA. Net cash used in operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, is shown below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand and, and one facility-based revolving loan facility of $875, which has limited availability due to facility cash on hand restrictions. Currently the Company’s ability to raise capital, debt or equity, in the public or private markets on what it considers acceptable terms is uncertain. We are nevertheless actively seeking options to obtain financing for the Company’s liquidity needs.

Although three of the Company’s subsidiaries have been able to borrow money through facility based mortgages, each of which is guaranteed by the Company, utilizing USDA Rural Development Authority guaranties, (individually, an “RDA Loan” and collectively, the “RDA Loans”), and, in the case of our Trace hospital subsidiary, obtain a working revolving capital loan facility of $875, the Company and its subsidiaries currently must fund working capital needs primarily from cash from operations or from the sale of additional assets. See “Subsidiary Loans” below.

The Company believes its four current hospital facilities and its specialty pharmacy business are currently underperforming. The Company has incurred losses from continuing operations in eleven of the last thirteen fiscal quarters through the quarter ending September 30, 2014. The Company had a net loss of $413 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Continuing losses from operations may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity.

In light of the current underperformance of the Company’s four current hospital facilities and its specialty pharmacy business, the Company has engaged advisors to evaluate and conduct the possible sale of one or more of two such hospital facilities. There can be no assurance that the sale of any such facility will occur or that, if a sale occurs, it will be at a price that results in a gain or net proceeds after transaction costs, taxes and outstanding debt. The Company expects to use a portion of the net proceeds, if any, from future asset sales to fund its working capital needs because its remaining hospitals and its specialty pharmacy segment are not currently providing sufficient cash flow to fund working capital.

Subject to the risks and uncertainties discussed herein, we believe we have adequate financing and liquidity to support our current level of operations through the next twelve months.

Subsidiary Loans

Callaway RDA Loan – SunLink, HealthMont of Missouri, LLC (“HOM”) and HealthMont LLC (“HLLC”), the direct parent of HOM closed on a $5,000 Loan Agreement dated as of March 16, 2012 (the “Callaway RDA Loan”) with a bank. HealthMont of Missouri, LLC owns and operates Callaway Community Hospital (“Callaway”) in Fulton, Missouri. The Loan Agreement consists of a $4,000 term loan and $1,000 construction loan. The $4,000 term loan was drawn in its entirety at closing and, as of June 30, 2014, the entirety of the $1,000 construction loan has been drawn. The Callaway RDA Loan is guaranteed by HLLC and the Company.

The Callaway RDA Loan was entered into with a term of 25 years with monthly payments of principal and interest. The Callaway RDA Loan bears a floating interest rate equal to the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal)

21

plus 2% (5.25% at September 30, 2014). The Callaway RDA Loan is collateralized by Callaway’s real estate and equipment and is partially guaranteed under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development Business and Industry Program. Of the Callaway RDA Loan proceeds, $3,250 was applied as payment against the Company’s then outstanding Credit Facility. Approximately $1,000 of the Callaway RDA Loan proceeds were used to finance improvements, including to provide an inpatient geriatric psychiatry unit and an emergency department upgrade, with the remainder of the Callaway RDA Loan proceeds used for working capital and closing costs. Drawn but unused loan proceeds of $92 are included on the balance sheet at June 30, 2013 as cash in escrow.

The Callaway RDA Loan contains certain financial covenants with respect to the ratio of current assets to current liabilities and debt service coverage, all as defined in the Callaway RDA Loan Agreement and measured at the end of each fiscal year. At June 30, 2014 covenant measurement date, Callaway was not in compliance with the funded debt to EBITDA ratio. The Company is currently discussing a modification or waiver of this non-compliance with the lender but as of November 14, 2014 such waiver has not been received. As a result, the amount of indebtedness under the Callaway RDA Loan of $4,782 and $4,801 is presented in current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014. If Callaway is unable to obtain a waiver of the non-compliance, the lender under the Callaway RDA Loan would, among other things, be entitled to call a default and demand repayment of the indebtedness outstanding from Callaway or from the Company under its guarantee of such indebtedness. The ability of Callaway and the Company to make the required debt service under the Callaway RDA Loan depends on, among other things, the ability of Callaway and the Company to generate sufficient cash flows, including from operating activities. If Callaway or the Company are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet debt service on the Callaway RDA loan or the guarantee, including in the event the lender were to declare an event of default and accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness, such failure could have material adverse effects on the Company. Although Callaway and the Company believe they will be able to obtain a waiver, the Company cannot assure you that a waiver will be obtained or the timing thereof.

On July 11, 2012, SunLink, MedCare South, LLC (formerly known as SunLink Healthcare, LLC) (“MedCare”), a wholly owned subsidiary or the Company, and Southern Health Corporation of Houston, Inc. (“SHCH”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, closed on a $9,975 Mortgage Loan Agreement dated as of July 5, 2012 (“Trace RDA Loan”) and up to a $1,000 Working Capital Loan Agreement dated as of July 5, 2012 (“Trace Working Capital Loan”) with a bank. SHCH owns and operates Trace Regional Hospital “Trace”) in Houston, Mississippi.

The Trace RDA Loan has a term of 15 years with monthly payments of principal and interest until repaid. The Trace RDA Loan bears a floating rate of interest equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 1.5%, or (ii) 6% (6.0% at September 30, 2014). The Trace RDA Loan is collateralized by Trace’s real estate and equipment and is partially guaranteed under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development Business and Industry Program. Approximately $8,500 of the Trace RDA Loan proceeds was used to repay a portion of the Company’s senior debt under the Term Loan under the then outstanding Credit Facility. Approximately $850 of the Trace RDA Loan proceeds were used for improvements to the hospital and its medical office building with the remainder of the loan proceeds used for working capital and closing costs.

The Trace Working Capital Loan as amended provides for a revolving line of credit to SHCH equal to the lesser of (i) a Borrowing Base equal to eighty percent (80%) of Eligible Accounts Receivable (as defined in the Working Capital Loan Agreement dated July 5, 2012) or (ii) (a) prior to September 31, 2014, $1,000; (b) for the quarter ending December 31, 2014, $875; (c) for the quarter ended March 30, 2015, $750; (d) for the quarter ending June 30, 2015, $625; and (e) thereafter, $500. The Trace Working Capital Loan expires July 2, 2015. It is subject to annual renewal at the discretion of the lender. At September 30, 2014, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Trace Working Capital Loan.

The Trace RDA Loan contains various terms and conditions, including financial restrictions and limitations, and affirmative and negative covenants. The covenants include financial covenants measured on a quarterly basis which require our SHCH subsidiary to comply with a ratio of current assets to current liabilities, debt service coverage, fixed charge coverage, and funded debt to EBITDA, all as defined in the Trace RDA Loan. If SHCH is unable to remain in compliance with the financial covenants, SHCH would cease to have a right to draw on the revolving working capital loan (of which $0 was drawn at September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014). The ability of SHCH and the Company, respectively, to make the required debt service under the Trace RDA Loan or the guarantee depends on, among other things, the respective ability of SHCH and the Company to generate sufficient cash flows, including from operating activities. If SHCH or the Company are unable to generate sufficient cash flow

22

from operations to meet debt service on the Trace RDA loan or the guarantee, including in the event the lender were to declare an event of default and accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness, such failure could have material adverse effects on the Company. Although SHCH and the Company believe they will be able to negotiate a waiver and covenant modification, the Company cannot assure you that a waiver and/or covenant modification will be obtained or the timing thereof or what modifications may otherwise by required to the Trace RDA Loan and Trace Working Capital Loan by the lender.

SHPP RDA Loan – On November 6, 2012, SunLink Healthcare Professional Property, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into and closed on a $2,100 term loan dated as of October 31, 2012 (the “SHPP RDA Loan”) with a bank. SHPP owns and leases a medical office building to Southern Health Corporation of Ellijay, Inc. (“SHC Ellijay”). SHC Ellijay owns and operates North Georgia Medical Center (“North Georgia”), located in Ellijay, Georgia.

The SHPP RDA Loan has a term of 25 years with monthly payments of principal and interest until repaid. The SHPP RDA Loan bears interest at a floating rate of interest equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 2.0%, or (ii) 5% (5.25% at September 30, 2014). The SHPP RDA Loan is collateralized by SHPP’s real estate, equipment and leases and is partially guaranteed under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development Business and Industry Program. Of the SHPP RDA Loan proceeds, $1,800 was used by SHC Ellijay to acquire a medical office building in Ellijay, Georgia which was then sold to SHPP, with the remainder of the SHPP RDA Loan proceeds used by SHPP for working capital and closing costs. The SHPP RDA Loan contains certain financial covenants with respect to the ratio of current assets to current liabilities and debt service coverage, all as defined in the SHPP RDA Loan Agreement, which SHPP must maintain and that are measured at the end of each fiscal year. The SHPP RDA Loan is guaranteed by the Company and MedCare.

Carmichael Notes – On April 22, 2008, SunLink Scripts Rx, LLC issued a $3,000 promissory note agreement with an interest rate of 8% to the former owners of Carmichael as part of the acquisition purchase price (the “Carmichael Purchase Note”). On April 12, 2012, an amendment to the Carmichael Purchase Note was entered into under which SunLink has the option to issue promissory notes to the former owners of Carmichael in payment of up to two semi-annual payments of principal and interest due under the Carmichael Purchase Note (the “PIK Notes”). The PIK Notes bear an interest rate of 8% and were to be due on April 22, 2015. A PIK Note for $247 was issued on April 22, 2012 for the principal and interest payment that would have been due on April 22, 2012. A PIK Note for $252 was issued on October 22, 2012 for the principal and interest payment that would have been due on October 22, 2012. The Carmichael Purchase Note and the PIK Notes were combined into one note (the “Carmichael Note” dated April 22, 2014 for the remaining balance payable of $1,852. The Carmichael Note is payable in one interest only payment of $75 due on October 22, 2014 and five semi-annual installments of $185 of principal and accrued interest commencing on April 22, 2015, with the remaining balance of the Carmichael Note of $1,255 due October 22, 2017. Interest is payable in arrears semi-annually on the six and twelve-month anniversary of the issuance of the note. The Carmichael Note is guaranteed by the Company.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

Contractual obligations, commitments and contingencies related to long-term debt, non-cancelable operating leases and interest on outstanding debt from continuing operations at September 30, 2014 were as follows:

At September 30, 2014, SunLink had a guarantee agreement with one physician. A physician with whom a guarantee agreement is made generally agrees to maintain his or her practice within a hospital geographic area for a

23

specific period (normally three years) or be liable to repay all or a portion of the guarantee received. The physician’s liability for any guarantee repayment due to non-compliance with the provisions of a guarantee agreement generally is collateralized by the physician’s patient accounts receivable and/or a promissory note from the physician. All potential payments payable under this one guarantee have been paid as of September 30, 2014. SunLink expensed $34 and $31 on physician guarantees and recruiting for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. There were no remaining non-cancelable commitments under guarantee agreements with physicians as of September 30, 2014.

At September 30, 2014, we had outstanding long-term debt of $17,209 of which $4,782 was incurred under the Callaway RDA Loan, $8,515 was incurred under the Trace RDA Loan, $2,023 was incurred under the SHPP RDA Loan, $1,852 was incurred under the Carmichael Notes, and $37 was related to capital leases.

Discontinued Operations

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Items required under Part II not specifically shown below are not applicable.

Legal Proceedings

In 2007, Southern Health Corporation of Ellijay, Inc. (“SHC-Ellijay”) filed a Complaint against James P. Garrett and Roberta Mundy, both individually and as Fiduciary of the Estate of Randy Mundy (collectively, “Defendants”), seeking specific performance of an Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) dated April 17, 2007, between SHC-Ellijay, Mr. Garrett, and Ms. Mundy as Executrix of the Estate of Randy Mundy for the sale of approximately 24.74 acres of real property located in Gilmer County, Georgia, and recovery of SHC-Ellijay’s damages suffered as a result of Defendants’ failure to close the transaction in accordance with the Option Agreement. SHC-Ellijay also stated alternative claims for breach of the Option Agreement and fraud, along with claims to recover attorney’s fees and punitive damages and the defendants filed counterclaims against SHC-Ellijay.

After summary judgment against, and appeal by, the Defendants, a settlement was reached on November 3, 2014. In satisfaction of the Company’s claims against Defendants, the current owner of the real property issued a five year limited-recourse interest-bearing promissory note in the principal amount of $600,000 to Castlemark Properties, LLC, one of the Company’s subsidiaries. The note is secured by a mortgage on the real property that was the subject of the option agreement. Castlemark Properties, LLC, will have a right to immediate payment of the note if the owner sells the property prior to maturity. If the owner does not sell the property prior to maturity and does not pay the note in full at maturity or deed the property to Castlemark Properties, LLC, then Castlemark Properties, LLC, will have a right to foreclose the mortgage and take title to the property. The litigation was dismissed by joint stipulation on or about November 12, 2014.

Office of Inspector General Investigation – In March 2013, SunLink received a document subpoena from the United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) in connection with an investigation of possible improper claims submitted to Medicare and Medicaid. The subpoena was directed to SunLink’s indirect subsidiary Southern Health Corporation of Dahlonega, Inc. (“SHCD”), which owns and operates Chestatee Regional Hospital in Dahlonega, Georgia, and requested documents concerning possible false or fraudulent claims made for intensive outpatient psychiatric services provided by and billed for a third-party outpatient psychiatric service provider. The subpoena also sought information about SHCD’s relationship with the outpatient psychiatric service provider, including financial arrangements. SHCD is continuing to cooperate with the government with respect to an ongoing document production, as well as conducting a joint medical necessity review of a sampling of medical records. We cannot at this time estimate what, if any, impact these matters and any results from these matters could have on our business, financial position, operating results or cash flows.
