Accounting Pronouncements Issued and Adopted

Based on the guidance provided in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), the Company has analyzed its subsidiaries which are all in the business of leasing radiosurgery and radiation therapy equipment to healthcare providers, and concluded there is one reportable segment, Medical Services Revenue. The Company provides Gamma Knife, PBRT, and IGRT equipment to sixteen hospitals in the United States and owns and operates a single-unit facility in Lima, Peru as of March 31, 2019. These seventeen locations operate under different subsidiaries of the Company but offer the same services: radiosurgery and radiation therapy. The operating results of the subsidiaries are reviewed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who are also deemed the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODMs”) and this is done in conjunction with all of the subsidiaries and locations.


In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02 Leases (“ASU 2016-02”) which requires lessees to recognize, for all leases, at the commencement date, a lease liability, and a right-of-use asset. Under the new guidance, lessor classification criteria for direct financing and sales-type leases is modified. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10Leases (Topic 842) Codification Improvements to Topic 842, and ASU No. 2018-11Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”), in December 2018 the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-20Leases (Topic 842) Narrow-Scope Improvements, and in February 2019 the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-01Leases (Topic 842) Codification Improvements. ASU 2018-11 provides a new transition method in which an entity can initially apply the new lease standards at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company performed an analysis to determine if its revenue agreements with customers fall under the scope of ASU 2016-02 or ASU 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and concluded that, other than with respect to the Company’s stand-alone facility in Lima, Peru, ASU 2016-02 applied. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 and related ASUs as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method. The Company elected to initially apply ASU 2016-02 and related ASUs beginning January 1, 2019 and elected to use the package of practical expedients upon adoption. The provisions of the package of practical expedients allowed the Company to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, the lease classification for expired or existing contracts, and the Company need not reassess the initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company also used the hindsight expedient upon adoption which allowed the Company to examine its history when assessing lease term and whether it will exercise renewal options for certain contracts. The Company recognized lease liabilities and right-of-use assets of approximately $1,362,000 for its operating leases at January 1, 2019, with no initial material impact to its consolidated statements of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. The new guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2019 and there was no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as a result.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, Codification Improvements (“ASU 2018-09”). This standard does not prescribe any new accounting guidance, but instead makes minor improvements and clarifications of several different FASB Accounting Standards Codification areas based on comments and suggestions made by various stakeholders. Certain updates are applicable immediately while others provide for a transition period to adopt as part of the next fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2018-09 as of January 1, 2019 and there was no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements as a result.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued and Not Yet Adopted

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-03 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2018-03”), which clarifies certain aspects of ASU 2016-01.2016-1. These are: equity securities without a readily determinable fair value – discontinuation, equity securities without a readily determinable fair value – adjustments, forward contracts and purchased options, presentation requirements for certain fair value option liabilities, fair value option liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and transition guidance for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements to Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which amended the effective date and other certain measurement aspects of ASU 2018-03. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not expectadopted ASU 2018-03 orand ASU 2018-13 to have aon January 1, 2020. There was no significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued and Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 Income taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”) which removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and eliminates the need for an organization to analyze whether the following apply in a given period: exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation; exceptions to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments; exception in interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2019-12 to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2.Property and Equipment

Note 2. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation for Gamma Knife, IGRT, and other equipment is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which for medical and office equipment is generally 3 – 10 years, and after accounting for salvage value on the equipment where indicated. Salvage value is based on the estimated fair value of the equipment at the end of its useful life.

Depreciation for PBRT equipment is determined using the modified units of production method, which is a function of both time and usage of the equipment. This depreciation method allocates costs considering the projected volume of usage through the useful life of the PBRT unit, which has been estimated at 20 years. The estimated useful life of the PBRT unit is consistent with the estimated economic life of 20 years.

The following table summarizes property and equipment as of March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018:

Note 5.Leases

Note 5. Leases
The Company determines if a contract is a lease at inception. Under ASC 842Leases (“ASC 842”), the Company is a lessor of equipment to various customers. Leases that commenced prior to ASC 842 adoption date were classified as operating leases under historical guidance. As the Company has elected the package of practical expedients allowing to not reassess lease classification, these leases are classified as operating leases under ASC 842 as well. All of the Company’s lessor arrangements entered into after ASC 842 adoption are also classified as operating leases. Some of these lease terms have an option to extend the lease after the initial term, but do not contain the option to terminate early or purchase the asset at the end of the term.

The Company’s Gamma Knife, PBRT, and IGRT contracts with hospitals are classified as operating leases under ASC 842. The related equipment is included in medical equipment and facilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets (see further discussion at Note 2).sheets. As all income from the Company’s lessor arrangements is solely based on procedure volume, all income is considered variable payments not dependent on an index or a rate. As such, the Company does not measure future operating lease receivable.

The Company’s lessee operating leases are accounted for as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities, and lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The Company’s operating lease contracts do not provide an implicit rate for calculating the present value of future lease payments, so the Company determined its incremental borrowing rate of approximately 6.0% by using available market rates and expected lease terms. The operating lease ROU assets and liabilities also include any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company’s lessee operating lease agreements are for administrative office space and related equipment, and the agreement to lease clinic space for its stand-alone facility in Lima, Peru. These leases have remaining lease terms between 3 and 54 years, some of which include options to renew or extend the lease. As of March 31, 2019,2020, operating ROU assets and liabilities were $1,300,000.

$972,000.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, the Company elected to not renew its lease for a satellite office in Fairfield, California. The Company previously included the renewal term in its assessment of the lease term for the ROU asset and liability. The Company accounted for this change as a lease reassessment under ASC 842. At the reassessment date, the remaining lease balance was not material to the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets and the Company wrote off the related ROU assets and liabilities of $67,000.

Note 6.Per Share Amounts

Note 6. Per Share Amounts
Per share information has been computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. The computation for the three-month periods ended March 31, 20192020 and 20182019 excluded approximately 547,000430,000 and 549,000,547,000, respectively, of the Company’s stock options because the exercise price of the options was higher than the average market price during those periods.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s Award Agreements (as defined below) expired and the unvested performance share awards were returned to the Company’s stock incentive plan - see Note 7 for further discussion. Based on the guidance provided in accordance with ASC 260Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”), the weighted average common shares for basic earnings per share, for the three-month periodsperiod ended March 31, 2019, and 2018, excluded the weighted average impact of the unvested performance share awards, discussed below.awards. These awards arewere legally outstanding but are not deemed participating securities and therefore arewere excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share. The unvested shares arewere also excluded from the denominator for diluted earnings per share because they arewere considered contingent shares not deemed probable as of March 31, 2019.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018:

Note 7.Stock-based Compensation

Note 7.Stock-based Compensation
In June 2010, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Company’s stock incentive plan, renaming it the Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), and among other things, increasing the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan to 1,630,000. The Plan provides that the shares reserved under the Plan are available for issuance to officers of the Company, other key employees, non-employee directors, and advisors. The Plan is a successor to the Company’s previous plans, and any shares awarded and outstanding under those plans were transferred to the Plan. No further grants or share issuances will be made under the previous plans. On June 27, 2017,21, 2019, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Plan in order to extend the term of the Plan by two years to February 22, 2020.

2022.

Stock-based compensation expense associated with the Company’s stock options to employees is calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company’s stock awards have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates. The estimated fair value of the Company’s option grants is estimated using assumptions for expected life, volatility, dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate which are specific to each award. The estimated fair value of the Company’s options is amortized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (requisite service period), usually the vesting period. Accordingly, stock-based compensation cost before income tax effect for the Company’s options and restricted stock unitsawards in the amount of $55,000$56,000 and $55,000 is reflected in net income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. At March 31, 2019,2020, there was approximately $114,000$18,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan, excluding unrecognized compensation cost associated with the performance share awards, discussed below. This cost is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately fivetwo years.

On January 4, 2017, the Company entered into a Performance Share Award Agreement with three executive officers of the Company (the “Award Agreements”) for 161,766 restricted stock awards which vest upon the achievement of certain performance metrics. The Award Agreements expireexpired on March 31, 2020. Based on the guidance in ASC 718Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), the Company concluded these were performance-based awards with vesting criteria tied to performance metrics. As of December 31, 2017,2018, the Company achieved one of those certain performance metrics under the Award Agreements and recognized stock compensation expense of approximately $108,000 related to these awards. As of March 31, 2019, it is not probable that any of the remaining required metrics for vesting will be achieved. The unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for these awards was approximately $434,000 and the unvested awards wereof approximately 129,000 shares were returned to the Plan as of March 31, 2019. If and when the Company determines that the remaining performance metrics’ achievement becomes probable, the Company will record a cumulative catch-up stock-based compensation amount and the remaining unrecognized amount will be recorded over the remaining requisite service period of the awards.2020.

Note 8. Income Taxes
The Company generally calculates its effective income tax rate at the end of an interim period using an estimate of the annualized effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. However, when a reliable estimate of the annualized effective income tax rate cannot be made, the Company computes its provision for income taxes using the actual effective income tax rate for the results of operations reported within the year-to-date periods. The Company’s effective income tax rate is highly influenced by relative income or losses reported and the amount of the nondeductible stock-based compensation associated with grants of its common stock options and from the results of foreign operations. A small change in estimated annual pretax income (loss) can produce a significant variance in the annualized effective income tax rate given the expected amount of these items. As a result, the Company has computed its provision for income taxes for the three-month period ended March 31, 20192020 by applying the actual effective tax rates to income or (loss) reported within the condensed consolidated financial statements through those periods.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"). The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. Under ASC 740, the effects of new legislation are recognized upon enactment. Accordingly, the effects of the CARES Act are effective for the three-month period ending March 31, 2020. The CARES Act did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

The Company recognizes revenues under ASC 842 and ASC 606Revenue from Contracts with Customers(“ (“ASC 606)”606”). The Company had sixteen (16) Gamma Knife units, one (1) PBRT system and one (1) IGRT machine in operation as of March 31, 20192020 and seventeen Gamma Knife units, one PBRT system and one IGRT machine in operation as of March 31, 2018.2019. Three (3) of the Company’s customer contracts are through subsidiaries where GKF or its subsidiary is the majority owner and managing partner. Seven (7) of the Company’s sixteen (16) current Gamma Knife customers are under fee-per-use contracts, and eight (8) customers are under retail arrangements. The Company, through GKF, also owns and operates a single-unit Gamma Knife facility in Lima, Peru. This unit economically functions similarly to the Company’s turn-key retail arrangements. The Company’s contracts to provide radiation therapy and related equipment services to an existing Gamma Knife customer and the Company’s PBRT system at Orlando Health – UF Health Cancer Center (“Orlando Health”), are also considered retail arrangements.

Rental income from medical services – The Company recognizes revenues under ASC 842 when services have been rendered and collectability is reasonably assured, on either a fee per use or revenue sharing basis. The terms of the contracts do not contain any guaranteed minimum payments. The Company’s contracts are typically for a ten-year term and are classified as either fee per use or retail. Retail arrangements are further classified as either turn-key or revenue sharing. Revenues from fee per use contracts is determined by each hospital’s contracted rate. Revenues are recognized at the time the procedures are performed, based on each hospital’s contracted rate and the number of procedures performed. Under revenue sharing arrangements, the Company receives a contracted percentage of the reimbursement received by the hospital. The amount the Company expects to receive is recorded as revenue and estimated based on historical experience. Revenue estimates are reviewed periodically and adjusted as necessary. Under turn-key arrangements, the Company receives payment from the hospital in the amount of the hospital’s reimbursement from third party payors, and the Company is responsible for paying all the operating costs of the equipment. Operating costs are determined primarily based on historical treatment protocols and cost schedules with the hospital. The Company records an estimate of operating costs which are reviewed on a regular basis and adjusted as necessary to more accurately reflect the actual operating costs. For turn-key sites, the Company also shares a percentage of net operating profit. The Company records an estimate of net operating profit based on estimated revenues, less estimated operating costs. The operating costs and estimated net operating profit are recorded as other direct operating costs in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. For the three-month periodperiods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized revenues of approximately $4,339,000 and $5,107,000, respectively, under ASC 842.

Patient income – The Company has a stand-alone facility in Lima, Peru, where a contract exists between GKPeru and the individual patient treated at the facility. Under ASC 606, the Company acts as the principal in this transaction and provides, at a point in time, a single performance obligation, in the form of a Gamma Knife treatment. Revenue related to a Gamma Knife treatment is recognized on a gross basis at the time when the patient receives treatment. There is no variable consideration present in the Company’s performance obligation and the transaction price is agreed upon per the stated contractual rate. Payment terms are typically prepaid for self-pay patients and insurance provider payments are paid net 30 days. The Company did not capitalize any incremental costs related to the fulfillment of its customer contracts. Accounts receivable earned by GKPeru were not significant for the three-month periodperiods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. For the three-month periodperiods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized revenues of approximately $229,000 and $214,000, respectively, under ASC 606.

Effective January 1, 2015, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (“CMS”) established a Comprehensive Ambulatory Payment Classification for single session radiosurgery treatments. CMS has established a 20192020 total reimbursement rate of approximately $9,300$9,600 ($9,1009,300 in 2018)2019) for a Medicare Gamma Knife treatment. The approximate CMS reimbursement rates for delivery of proton therapy for a simple treatment without compensation for 2019 will be $5202020 is $539 ($522520 in 2018)2019) and $1,079$1,246 ($1,0531,079 in 2018)2019) for simple with compensation, intermediate and complex treatments, respectively.

Revenues increased

On July 10, 2019, CMS issued a proposed rule that would implement a new mandatory payment model for radiation oncology services: the Radiation Oncology Alternative Payment Model (“RO APM”). The proposed RO APM would treat prospective episode payments to hospital outpatient departments and freestanding radiation therapy centers for radiation therapy as episodes of care. The RO APM would significantly alter CMS’ payment methodology for radiation oncology services. Under the RO APM, payment would be determined by $16,000the patient’s cancer type, as opposed to $5,321,000a traditional volume-based fee-for-service model, and would include select radiation therapy services provided within a 90-day episode. If the RO APM is finalized as proposed, radiation therapy providers and suppliers may be mandatorily required to participate in the model based on whether the radiation therapy is provided within selected geographic areas. CMS projects that approximately 40% of the radiation oncology providers within randomly selected Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) will be included in the model and approximately 60% will continue to receive reimbursement based on fee-for-service methodology. The Company, along with other interested parties, submitted comments to CMS on the proposed rule as part of the notice-and-comment rulemaking process. The comment period concluded on September 16, 2019. It is uncertain whether CMS will finalize the rule as proposed. As a result, the Company cannot estimate the potential impact of adoption of the proposed rule. However, reductions in the reimbursement rates or changes in reimbursement methodology or administration for radiosurgery and radiation therapy could adversely affect the Company’s revenues and financial results. For centers not included in the proposed model, Medicare reimbursement in 2020 for the most commonly used proton therapy delivery codes has recently been established by CMS and is expected to increase by approximately 15.5% and by approximately 3.6% for Gamma Knife.

The COVID-19 pandemic, the likely resulting recession and its follow-on effects have impacted and will likely continue to impact business activity across industries, including the Company’s. Due to factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic such as delays in service at medical facilities and restrictions imposed by government agencies, and the Company’s customers in response to the spread of COVID-19, the Company has experienced some delays in delivering certain Gamma Knife procedures and PBRT treatments. Similarly, the Company’s ability to conduct commercial efforts with its customers have been and are likely to continue to be disrupted as customers have turned their focus to dealing with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their operations. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy is significant, and the Company’s ability to conduct its business and to access financing could be materially impacted. As a result of the pandemic and related governmental actions, Gamma Knife procedures and PBRT treatments, which make up the majority of our revenue, may take longer to recover than other areas of the economy, which may have a material impact on the Company’s business. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop rapidly, and additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 from $5,305,0002020 has varied by location based on the stage of containment and actions by government agencies. The impact on treatments and costs in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 did not appear material. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will potentially be greater over the entire three (3) month period in the second quarter of 2020.
Revenues decreased by $753,000 to $4,568,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 compared to $5,321,000 for the same period in the prior year.

Revenues generated from the Company’s PBRT system increased $424,000by $34,000 to $1,642,000$1,676,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 from $1,218,0002020 compared to $1,642,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in PBRT revenuerevenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 was due to an increase inhigher volumes.

The number of PBRT fractions increased by 328130 to 1,5461,676 for the three-month period ended March 31, 20192020 compared to 1,2181,546 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in PBRT volume for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 was the result of the continuing increased awareness of the benefits of proton therapy treatment.

Gamma Knife revenuerevenues decreased $277,000by $519,000 to $3,411,000$2,892,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 from $3,688,0002020 compared to $3,411,000 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in Gamma Knife revenue was primarily due to the expiration of two customer contracts in April 2018 and January 2019. The number of Gamma Knife procedures decreased by 17 to 375revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 from 3922020, was due to lower average reimbursement at the Company’s retail sites. The number of Gamma Knife procedures increased by 1 to 376 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 compared to 375 for the same period in the prior year. Excluding the two customer sites whose contracts expired
In April 2018 and January 2019,2020, an existing Gamma Knife procedures were consistent withcustomer contract expired. The site is currently operating on a month-to-month basis and will continue to do so until the same periodcustomer notifies the Company in writing of their intent to terminate. The Company expects the prior year.

Revenuelease to end sometime in mid-2020.

Revenues generated from the Company’s IGRT contract decreased $131,000by $268,000 to $268,000$0 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, from $399,0002020 compared to $268,000 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in IGRT revenue was due to lower volumes.

Total costs of revenue increased by $285,000 to $3,384,000revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 from $3,099,0002020 was the result of the winding down of the Company’s IGRT system, which was being used as a back-up system at the customer site. The Company’s contract for its IGRT equipment expired in April 2020 and the Company agreed to sell the equipment to it's existing customer for $150,000, which was equal to the equipment's salvage value.

Total costs of revenue decreased by $210,000 to $3,174,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 compared to $3,384,000 for the same period in the prior year.

Maintenance and supplies increaseddecreased by $42,000$35,000 to $668,000$633,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 from $626,0002020 compared to $668,000 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in maintenance and supplies for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 was due to a decrease in time and materials costs at the Company’s existing customer sites.
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $247,000 to $1,647,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 compared to $1,894,000 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in depreciation and amortization for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to depreciation recognized on the Company’s IGRT equipment of $220,000 in the prior year. The related equipment became fully depreciated in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Other direct operating costs increased by $72,000 to $894,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 compared to $822,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in maintenance and supplies was due to the annual increase from the renewal of the Mevion Service Agreement (see further discussion below under the heading “Commitments”) which began September 2017.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $237,000 to $1,894,000other direct operating costs for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 from $1,657,0002020 was due to increased operating costs at the Company’s newest Gamma Knife site in Merrillville, Indiana and the Company’s stand-alone facility in Lima, Peru, as these sites continue to ramp up volumes.

Selling and administrative costs increased by $156,000 to $1,211,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 compared to $1,055,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to depreciation incurred on the Company’s new Gamma Knife site in Merrillville, Indiana, the PBRT system, and the Company’s IGRT equipment, offset partially by the two Gamma Knife contracts which expired in April 2018 and January 2019.


Other direct operating costs increased by $6,000 to $822,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, from $816,0002020, was primarily due to legal and other fees, including, but not limited to the COVID-19 pandemic and the transition in senior management.

Interest expense decreased by $85,000 to $282,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 compared to $367,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to operating costs at the Company’s retail sites.

Selling and administrative costs increased by $69,000 to $1,055,000decrease for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 from $986,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to recruiting fees, temporary administrative staffing, and consulting fees.

Interest expense decreased by $58,000 to $367,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 from $425,000 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease2020 was due to a lower average principal base on the Company’s debt and leases in the first quarter of 20192020 compared to the same period in the prior year, effectively reducing interest expense.


Interest and other income decreased by $1,000 to $4,000$3,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 from $5,0002020 compared to $4,000 for the same period in the prior year. Interest and other income is comprised of interest expense and interest earned.

Income tax expense decreased by $26,000$152,000 to $124,000a benefit of $28,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 from $150,0002020 compared to expense of $124,000 for the same period in the prior year.

2019, except as follows:
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic May Continue to Adversely Affect the Company’s Business Operations and Financial Condition
The recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 is now a global pandemic as declared by the World
Health Organization. The COVID-19 pandemic has spread across the globe, has been declared a national emergency and has shut down many business operations around the globe. Many states and municipalities in the United States, including California, have announced aggressive and unprecedented actions to reduce the spread of the disease, including limiting non-essential gatherings of people, ceasing all non-essential travel, ordering certain businesses and government agencies to cease non-essential operations at physical locations and issuing shelter-in-place” orders, which direct individuals to shelter at their places of residence (subject to limited exceptions). Across our business, although some governmental restrictions on certain medical procedures have been lifted, healthcare resources are being prioritized for the treatment and management of the outbreak in many cases. Consequently, there are delays in delivering certain Gamma Knife and proton therapy treatments. The COVID-19 pandemic poses the risk that the Company or its employees, contractors, customers, government and third party payors and others may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to spread of the disease within these groups or due to shutdowns that have been and may continue to be requested or mandated by governmental authorities.

A broad, sustained continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact the Company for the following reasons: (i) operations at certain medical facilities, including medical professionals and other medical facility employees, may continue to be subject to prolonged closure or shut down; (ii) medical facilities may continue to defer certain Gamma Knife and proton therapy treatments for non-urgent patient cases in order to allocate resources to the care of patients with COVID-19; (iii) patients may continue to defer certain Gamma Knife and proton therapy treatments due to real or perceived concerns about the potential spread of COVID-19 in a medical facility setting; (iv) certain deferred Gamma Knife and proton therapy treatments may not be rescheduled for a later date; (v) the pandemic may materially impact the Company’s operations for a sustained period of time due to the current travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and shutdowns, including at our corporate headquarters in San Francisco, California,which is currently subject to a shelter-in-place order that remains in force until May 31, 2020 and may be extended; and/or (vi) members of the board, management or employee team, some of whom are particularly at risk for the severe symptoms of COVID-19, or of our small number of other employees, may become ill or have family members who are ill and are absent as a result, or they may elect not to come to work due to the illness affecting others in our office or facilities.


20

The occurrence of any of the foregoing events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The COVID-19 pandemic and mitigation measures have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on global economic conditions which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains unknown, including the impact on the global economy and the healthcare industry. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts the Company’s results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus, actions to contain its impact,the efficacy of the current governmental orders in slowing down the pandemic, the governments’ changing calculations on the economic impact and the health implications of maintaining these orders, the progress in the healthcare industry’s ability to effectively combat the virus, and potential increase or decrease in healthcare demand resulting from COVID-19 responses, all of which are highly unpredictable. Likewise, the financial market as a whole has experienced extreme volatility as a result of the global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has impacted, and may continue to impact, the Company’s stock price.
