As disclosed in our Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2007, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented a significant policy change affecting the reimbursement for all diagnostic radiopharmaceutical products and contrast agents which was effective as of January 1, 2008. Diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals such as Daxor’s Volumex will not be separately reimbursable by Medicare for outpatient services. At this time, it is unclear if this policy change will also be implemented by private third party health insurance companies.
The reimbursement policy for hospital outpatients through December 31, 2007 included separate payment for both the cost of the procedure to perform a blood volume analysis (BVA) and the radiopharmaceutical (Daxor’s Volumex radiopharmaceutical). CMS’s new policy only includes the reimbursement for the procedure and would require the hospital to absorb the cost of the radiopharmaceutical. There will be an upward adjustment for the procedure code to include some of the costs of the radiopharmaceutical. However, this upward adjustment does not entirely cover the costs associated with the procedure and the radiopharmaceutical.
Many medical societies and major manufacturers of radiopharmaceuticals and contrast agents are currently engaged in an aggressive attempt to reverse this ruling. The Company has had similar issues in the past that have negatively impaired revenue from operations. This particular issue may have a similar impact. However, at the present time, the Company is unable to quantify what the effect of this ruling will be on revenue from operations for the year ending December 31, 2008.
In 2007 revenue from operations was $1,869,779.vs. 2006 revenue from operations of $1,486,449 for an increase of 26%. In 2005, operating revenues were $1,343,538.
Equipment sales and kit sales increased from $1,055,706 in 2006 to $1,453,201 in 2007. In 2007 the Company sold six blood volume analyzers for a total of $390,500 versus two in 2006 for $130,000. Kit sales increased by 15% in 2007 over 2006 and by 35% in 2006 over 2005. Kit sales increased by 53% in 2005 over 2004 and by 35% in 2004 over 2003. 3,015 patients, utilizing the BVA-100, had blood volume measurements in 2007 vs. 2,876 in 2006, 2,132 in 2005 and 1,474 in 2004. For the year ended December 31, 2007 the Company provided 328 Volumex doses free of charge to facilities utilizing the BVA-100 for research versus 194 in 2006, 95 in 2005,83 in 2004 and 101 in 2003.
The major reason for the current year increase in kit sales is that there are 58 Blood Volume Analyzers placed at December 31, 2007 versus 48 placed at December 31, 2006. Effective February 1, 2007, the Company raised prices by approximately 5% on Blood Volume Kits. This was the first price increase in two years and helped to increase revenue from kit sales by 15% even though the number of kits sold increased by 5%.
The main reason for the increase in Gross Profit Percentage for Equipment Sales and Related Services from 44.5% for the year ended December 31, 2006 to 56.3% for the year ended December 31, 2007 is that six blood volume analyzers were sold in 2007 versus two in 2006. The gross margin on the blood volume analyzer is substantially higher than the gross margin on Volumex Kits.
The following table provides gross margin information on Equipment Sales & Related Services for the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006:
There were twelve trial agreements signed for the BVA-100 Blood Volume Analyzer during the year ended December 31, 2007 versus twenty in the year ended December 31, 2006. The reduction in the amount of trial agreements is a result of the sales force focusing more on securing sale and clinical research agreements instead of trial agreements.
Operating revenues from Cryobanking and related services decreased in 2007 by $14,165 or 3.3% from 2006. This was due mainly to revenue from semen storage decreasing by $23,153 or 7.6% to $282,067 versus $305,220 in the year ended December 31, 2006. There was also a decrease of $4,302 in semen analysis and other lab services. The Company’s Idant Laboratories subsidiary contributed 22.3%, 29.0%, and 44.0% of operating revenues in 2007, 2006 and 2005 respectively.
Operating Expenses
The increase in operating expenses for 2007, 2006 and 2005 was due to additional hiring in each year of sales and marketing personnel for the Blood Volume Analyzer and costs of expanded research and development efforts.
For 2007, consolidated expenses from operations including cost of sales totaled $7,300,649 and the loss from operations was $5,430,870. In 2006, expenses from operations including cost of sales totaled $6,911,370; the loss from operations was $5,424,921. In 2005, expenses from operations including cost of sales totaled $6,246,563; the loss from operations totaled $4,903,025.
Total Operating costs including cost of sales for Daxor and the BVA segment were $6,351,501 for the year ended December 31, 2007 versus $6,426,768 for the year ended December 31, 2006 for a decrease of $75,267 or 1.2%. The main reason for this decrease is that $390,973 of rent and salary expense paid by Daxor was allocated to the Cryobanking segment in 2007. This allocation was not done in 2006.
Research and Development expenses for Daxor and the BVA segment increased in 2007 by $194,981 or 8.9% to $2,390,352 from $2,195,371 in 2006. Daxor is committed to making Blood Volume Analysis a standard of care in at least three disease states. In order to achieve this goal, we are continuing to spend time and money in research and development in order to get the best product to market. We are still working on the following three projects: 1) GFR: Glomeril Filtration Rate, 2) Total Body Albumin Analysis, and 3) Wipe Tests for radiation contamination and detection. We are also progressing on the next version of the delivery device for the radioactive dose Volumex. The current version is the “Max-100” which has a patent. The next version, the “Max-200” will be without a needle and should give the company extended protection with a second patent when it is completed.
Total Operating Costs including cost of sales for the Cryobanking segment were $949,148 for the year ended December 31, 2007 versus $485,002 for the year ended December 31, 2006 for an increase of $464,146 or 95.7%.The major reason for this increase is that $390,973 of rent and salary expense paid by Daxor was allocated to the Cryobanking segment in 2007. This allocation was not done in 2006. Payroll and Benefits expense increased in 2007 to $368,332 from $310,706 in 2006 for an increase of $57,626 or 18.6%. This increase was due mostly to the hiring of additional personnel for the Cryobanking laboratory.
In January of 2007 the Company completed the purchase of a 20,000 square foot facility, including 3.5 acres of land. This provides an opportunity for expansion. The Company selected the town of Oak Ridge, Tennessee because of its long history and association with radio isotopic facilities and its local pool of talent in this area. There are only a few sites in the United States which could provide this combination of expertise and community acceptance of nuclear medicine.
Dividend Income
Dividend income earned on the Company’s securities portfolio was $2,419,476 in 2007 vs. $2,273,737 in 2006, for an increase of $145,739, or 6.4%. This is mainly due to a one-time special dividend of $156,200 received in 2007 on a stock that was not in the portfolio at December 31, 2007. Including this distribution, the Company received dividends of $381,578 on stocks that were no longer in the portfolio at the end of the year. In 2005, dividend income was $2,511,054 which included a one-time special dividend of $402,896 received as the result of a utility company merger.
Investment Gains
Gains on the sale of investments were $14,853,934 in 2007 vs. $3,316,710 in 2006, and $1,515,653 in 2005. A major reason for the increase in Gains on the sale of investments in 2007 is that the Company realized $3,954,428 in gains on securities that were sold as the result of mergers and stock buybacks. These stocks would not have otherwise been sold but would have been held by the Company as of December 31, 2007.
28
The sum of dividend income plus investment gain from sale of securities was $17,273,410 in 2007, $5,590,447 in 2006, and $4,026,707 in 2005.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company’s management has pursued a policy of maintaining sufficient liquidity and capital resources in order to assure continued availability of necessary funds for the viability and projected growth of all ongoing projects.
At December 31, 2007, the Company had $47,214,047 in short-term debt vs. $32,528,520 at December 31, 2006. The following amounts are included in short-term debt at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006: Income Taxes Payable of $1,295,668 and $13,826 respectively, Deferred Tax Liability of $15,726,213 and $15,281,370 respectively, and Securities borrowed at fair market value of $20,362,259 and $10,665,722. The Deferred Tax Liability represents taxes due on the unrealized gain of the investment portfolio and Securities borrowed at fair market value represent short positions in common stock.
At December 31, 2007, stockholders’ equity was $54,915,885 vs. $45,637,792 at December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2007 the Company’s security portfolio had a market value of $74,919,193 vs. $66,968,446 at December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2007, the Company’s total liabilities and stockholders’ equity were $102,560,500 vs. $78,166,312 at December 31, 2006.
Starting February 2, 2007, the Company made the first monthly mortgage payment of $5,932 (which includes principal and interest) for the properties purchased at 107 and 109 Meco Lane, Oak Ridge, Tennessee. This monthly amount is due to paid through December 31, 2011. There is a balloon payment of $301,972 due on January 2, 2012 for the remaining principal and interest. The Company has the option of making this payment or refinancing the mortgage for an additional five year term at a fixed rate of interest that would be set on January 2, 2012.
Income from the Company’s security portfolio is a major asset for the Company as it expands its research and marketing staff. At December 31, 2007, the Company is in a satisfactory financial position with adequate funds available for its immediate and anticipated needs. The Company plans its budgetary outlays on the assumption that the raising of additional financial capital may be difficult in the next 2 to 4 years. The Company believes that its present liquidity and assets are adequate to sustain the additional expenses associated with an expanding sales and marketing program.
The following table shows the Cost, Market Value, Net Unrealized Gain, Unrealized Gain and Loss at December 31st from 2003 through 2007.

The Company’s invested capital has varied over the past 5 years, varying from $22,307,744 in 2003 to $29,987,157 in 2007. The value of the Company’s investments increased from $47,399,159 in 2003 to $74,919,193 during this 5 year period. The Company has been able to partially offset the continuing operating losses which in 2007 were the highest in the Company’s history. The increase in value of the Company’s assets provides an underpinning for the Company’s expanding activities. While there can be no assurance that these assets will not decrease in value, it is unlikely, at the present time, that they will go back to historical cost. The Company feels, however, that with respect to the Blood Volume Analyzer and the Blood Optimization Program, it is undercapitalized. Recent inquiries have indicated that additional capital is not available on reasonable terms without great dilution to existing shareholders. The Company believes that if the blood volume analyzer becomes a standard of care in any one of the areas described in this 10-K filing, it will then have much easier access to additional capital.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discuss the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The Company considers the following accounting policies to be critical accounting policies.
29
Available-for-Sale Securities
Available-for-sale securities represent investments in debt and equity securities (primarily common and preferred stock of utility companies) that management has determined meet the definition of available-for-sale under SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Accordingly, these investments are stated at fair market value and all unrealized holding gains or losses are recorded in the Stockholders’ Equity section as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Conversely, all realized gains, losses and earnings are recorded in the Statement of Operations under Other Income (Expense).
The company will also engage in the short selling of stock. When this occurs, the short position is marked to the market and this adjustment is recorded in the Statement of Operations. Any gain or loss is recorded for the period presented
Historical cost is used by the Company to determine all gains and losses, and fair market value is obtained by readily available market quotes on all securities.
The Company’s investment goals, strategies and policies are as follows:
| | |
1. | The Company’s investment goals are capital preservation and maintaining returns on this capital with a high degree of safety. |
|
2. | The Company maintains a diversified securities portfolio comprised primarily of electric utility preferred and common stocks. The Company also sells covered calls on portions of its portfolio and also sells puts on stocks it is willing to own. It also sells uncovered calls and will engage in short positions up to 15% of the value of its portfolio. The Company’s short position may temporarily rise to 20% of the Company’s portfolio without any specific action because of changes in valuation, but should not exceed this amount. The Company’s investment policy is to maintain a minimum of 80% of its portfolio in electric utilities. Investments in utilities are primarily in electric companies. Investments in non-utility stocks will not exceed 15% of the portfolio. |
|
3. | Investment in speculative issues, including short sales, maximum of 15%. |
|
4. | Limited use of options to increase yearly investment income. |
|
| a. | The use of “Call” Options. Covered options can be sold up to a maximum of 20% of the value of the portfolio. This provides extra income in addition to dividends received from the company’s investments. The risk of this strategy is that investments the company may have preferred to retain can be called away. Therefore, a limitation of 20% is placed on the amount of stock on which options which can be written. The amount of the portfolio on which options are actually written is usually between 3-10% of the portfolio. The actual turnover of the portfolio is such that the average holding period is in excess of 5 years for available for sale securities. |
|
| b. | The use of “Put” options. Put options are written on stocks which the company is willing to purchase. While the company does not have a high rate of turnover in its portfolio, there is some turnover; for example, due to preferred stocks being called back by the issuing company, or stocks being called away because call options have been written. If the stock does not go below the put exercise price, the company records the proceeds from the sale as income. If the put is exercised, the cost basis is reduced by the proceeds received from the sale of the put option. There may be occasions where the cost basis of the stock is lower than the market price at the time the option is exercised. |
|
| c. | Speculative Short Sales/Short Options. The company limits its speculative transactions to no more than 15% of the value of the portfolio. The company may sell uncovered calls on certain stocks. If the stock price does not rise to the price of the calls, the option is not exercised, and the company records the proceeds from the sale of the call as income. If the call is exercised, the company will have a short position in the related stock. The company then has the choice of covering the short position or selling a put against it. If the put is exercised, the short position is covered. The company’s current accounting policy is to mark to the market at the end of each quarter any short positions, and include it in the income statement. While the company may have so-called speculative positions equal to 15% of its accounts, in actual practice the average short stock positions usually account for less than 10% of the assets of the company. |
|
5. | | In the event of a merger, the Company will elect to receive shares in the new company. In the event of a cash only offer, the Company will receive cash and be forced to sell its stock. |
The income derived from these investments has been essential to offset the research, operating and marketing expenses of developing the Blood Volume Analyzer. The Company has followed a conservative policy of assuring adequate liquidity so that it can expand its marketing and research development without the sudden necessity of raising additional capital. The securities in the Company’s portfolio are selected to provide stability of both income and capital. The Company has been able to achieve financial stability because of these returns, which covered a significant portion of the Company’s continuing losses from operations. The Company’s investment policy is reviewed at least once yearly by the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee, who vote upon the policy. Individual investment decisions are made solely by Dr. Joseph Feldschuh, CEO, who devotes approximately 10 to 15% of his time, or 5 to 7.5 hours per week to this activity. He is assisted by a single part-time employee. No other member of the Company is involved in individual investment decisions.
30
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes operational revenues from several sources. The first source is the outright sale of equipment, the Blood Volume Analyzer, to customers. The second source is the sale and associated shipping revenues of single-use radioisotope doses (Volumex) that are injected into the patient and measured by the Blood Volume Analyzer. The third source of revenue is service contracts on the Blood Volume Analyzer, after it has been sold to a customer. The fourth source of revenue is the storage fees associated with cryobanked blood and semen specimens. The fifth is lab revenues from laboratory services, and the sixth is revenue from semen sales.
The Company currently offers three different methods of purchasing the Blood Volume Analyzer equipment. A customer may purchase the equipment directly, lease the equipment, or rent the equipment on a month-to-month basis. The revenues generated by a direct sale or a monthly rental are recognized as revenue in the period in which the sale or rental occurred. If a customer is to select the “lease” option, the Company refers its customer to a third party finance company with which it has established a relationship, and if the lease is approved, the Company receives 100% of the sales proceeds from the finance company and recognizes 100% of the revenue. The finance company then deals directly with the customer with regard to lease payments and related collections. Daxor Corporation does not guarantee payments to the leasing company.
The sales of the single-use radioisotope doses (Volumex) that are used in conjunction with the Blood Volume Analyzer are recognized as revenue in the period in which the sale occurred.
When Blood Volume Analyzer equipment has been sold to a customer, the Company offers a one year warranty on the product, which covers all mechanical failures. This one year warranty is effective on the date of sale of the equipment. After the one year period expires, customers may purchase a service contract through the Company. Historically, service contracts were recorded by the Company as deferred revenue and were amortized into income in the period in which they were earned. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company began offering service contracts priced on an annual basis which are billed annually or quarterly depending upon the contractual arrangement with the customer. There were two hospitals that the Company billed during the year ended December 31, 2007 for the entire amount of their annual service contract. At December 31, 2007, deferred revenue pertaining to the historical service contracts was $7,417 and $0 respectively.
The storage fees associated with the cryobanked blood and semen samples are recognized as income in the period for which the fee applies. The Company invoices customers for storage fees for various time periods. These time periods range from one month up to one, two or three years. The Company will only recognize revenue for those storage fees that are earned in the current reporting period, and will defer the remaining revenues to the period in which they are earned. Effective October, 2005, the Company has altered our billing procedure as such that clients will only be billed on a quarterly basis. Therefore, future revenue recognition will not include deferred revenue on the storage fees, but rather will be earned in the same period in which the invoices are generated.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports components of comprehensive income under the requirements of SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. This statement establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and requires certain transactions to be presented as separate components of stockholders’ equity. The Company currently reports the unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, net of deferred taxes, as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Product Warrantees and Related Liabilities
The Company offers a one year warranty on the Blood Volume Analyzer equipment. This warranty is effective on the date of sale and covers all mechanical failures of the equipment. All major components of the equipment are purchased and warranted by the original 3rd party manufacturers.
Once the initial one year warranty period has expired, customers may purchase annual service contracts for the equipment. These service contracts warranty the mechanical failures of the equipment that are not associated with normal wear-and-tear of the components.
To date, the Company has not experienced any major mechanical failures on any equipment sold. In addition, the majority of the potential liability would revert to the original manufacturer. Due to this history, a liability has not been recorded with respect to product / warranty liability.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting periods. Although these estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from those estimates
31
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This pronouncement requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences of event attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period in which the enactment rate changes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reduced through the establishment of a valuation allowance at such time as, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
In December 2002, the Company signed a lease which commenced on January 1, 2003, for its existing facility at the Empire State Building. The lease expires on December 31, 2015. The Company has occupied this space since January 1992. The company currently occupies approximately 7,200 square feet. There are options for an additional 18,000 square feet of space. The Company has acquired a 20,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee which is currently manufacturing the BVA-100 Blood Volume Analyzers, and where R&D activities are performed. The Company’s Volumex syringes are filled by an FDA approved radio pharmaceutical manufacturer. The manufacturer has worked with Daxor since 1987. The manufacturer’s prices are reviewed annually.

Summary of Actual Portfolio Investments
The company’s portfolio value is exposed to fluctuations in the general value of utilities. An increase of interest rates could affect the company in two ways: one would be to put downward pressure on the valuation of utility stocks as well as increase the company’s cost of borrowing.
Because of the size of the unrealized gains in the company’s portfolio, the company does not anticipate any changes which could reduce the value of the company’s utility portfolio below historical cost. Utilities operate in an environment of federal, state and local regulations, and they may disproportionately affect an individual utility. The company’s exposure to regulatory risk is mitigated due to it’s diversity of holdings. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the company held 63 and 62 separate stocks, respectively.
Puts and calls are marked to market for each reporting period and any gain or loss is recognized through the Statement of Operations and labeled as “Mark to market of short positions”.

Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. |
In light of the Safe Harbor provisions so that a company could not be considered an investment company, we have done an analysis of what would have occurred if the company had elected to use a Safe Harbor provision instead of the cash management program that it developed which utilizes dividend paying utilities combined with option sales. It should be noted that it is not mandatory to utilize T-bills, only that it is a Safe Harbor provision, where one is not required to explain or justify that one is an operating company rather than in investment company. We elected to augment the company’s revenue rather than accept the Safe Harbor T-bill scenario. We understood that there were risks, and the concept was approved by the Board of Directors of Daxor before this policy was inaugurated.
| |
| The Board of Directors reviews and approves the investment policy at least once a year. The current policy is: 1) the primary investments are in electric utilities; no more than 15% of the company’s assets can be in “shorts” at any one time; 2) the company can continue to sell covered call options; sell naked put options on securities it is willing to own; 3) concentration of no more than 10% of any one stock in the portfolio; 4) if a stock were to grow to more than 10% due to natural increase in value, it is exempt from the 10% concentration rule. All individual investment decisions are made by Dr. Joseph Feldschuh. Dr. Feldschuh spends approximately 10 – 15% of his time (approximately 5 – 7.5 hours per week) on reviewing information relative to investment decisions, as well as transmitting instructions concerning these decisions. A single part-time administrative employee provides assistance to Dr. Feldschuh. No other employee is involved in investment making decisions. The Company subscribes to two independent investment/economic newsletters and three financial newspapers. The Company also receives free investment analysis from the two primary brokerage houses where it has corporate accounts. |
34
The Company has always had on its Board of Directors, for the last twenty years, at least one person who could be considered an expert on investing accounting policy with Wall Street experience.
In 1985, the Company had a secondary offering which raised approximately $7.1 million. In 1984, prior to clearance by the SEC of the underwriting, the Company had its cash management policy of investing in electric utilities reviewed by the SEC. The SEC reviewed the policy and the Company’s operations, and permitted the secondary offering to proceed without any alterations. In 1992, the Company had its cash management investment policies questioned by the SEC and no action was taken against the Company. The following graphs illustrate what would have happened to the company if the Company had chosen at that time, beginning in 1993, to undertake a so-called Safe Harbor policy. Two separate T-bill rates were used for this analysis; one for an average rate of approximately 2%, and one for an average rate of approximately 3%. The 2% and 3% scenarios are reasonable approximations of which the Company might have encountered during this time. During the 15 year period of 1993-2007 which is covered in this analysis, the annual yield on U.S. Treasuries at a one year constant maturity varied from 1.24% to 6.11%.
In November 2005, the Company’s cash policy was again questioned by the SEC and a formal response was provided by the Company on January 13, 2006. The following additional information is provided to illustrate what the Company’s current financial position would have been had it followed a simple policy of investing its cash in treasury securities. The Company also is providing a graph adapted from information provided on the Federal Reserve website atwww.federalreserve.gov. The company provided similar information in an amended 10-K filed on November 9, 2006. The current graphs include the year ended December 31, 2007.
Graph 1: Comparison of Net Earnings with Hypothetical Earnings That Would Have Resulted Had the Company Invested in Treasury Bills from 1993 to 2007 and Received a 2% Interest Rate
Graph 1 illustrates three sets of data from 1993 to 2007: 1) the company’s reported net income from all sources, 2) the company’s operation income minus operating expenses, and 3) a hypothetical net income calculated assuming that, rather than following its existing investment policy, the Company had invested in Treasury Bills and received an interest rate of 2%.
35
For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company had net income of $10,647,216. However, for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the company recorded total losses of $785,531, $1,335,981 and $389,622 despite supplemental revenue from investments. For the years ended December 31, 1996 through December 31,2002, the company sustained heavy operating losses but was close to breaking even due to supplemental income. From 1993 to 1995, the company reported a net profit despite increasing losses from operations. As can be seen, from 1993 through 1995, the company also sustained operating losses.
Had the company invested in Treasury Bills and received a 2% interest rate the annual losses in 2007, 2006 and 2005 would have exceeded $5 million. In 2004, the loss would have been over $3 million and in 2003 close to $3 million. From 1996-2002, the company would have lost approximately $2 million each year.
36
Graph 2: Comparison of Net Earnings with Hypothetical Earnings That Would Have Resulted Had the Company Invested in Treasury Bills from 1993 to 2007 and Received a 3% Interest Rate
Graph 2 shows the same basic scenario as Graph 1, except that the hypothetical net income was calculated assuming a 3% interest rate from Treasury Bills. The results are similar to those from Graph 2, but the loss is slightly lower because of the 1% higher interest rate.
37
Graph 3: Hypothetical Change in Company Assets that Would Have Occurred Had Persistent Losses from Investment in Treasury Bills with a 2% Rate of Interest Forced the Company to Cover Losses by Liquidating Sections of its Portfolio
Graph 3 compares the Company’s marketable securities at cost with a hypothetical value of securities. This hypothetical value was calculated assuming that the Company had begun investing in Treasury Bills in 1993 and received a 2% interest rate. The marketable securities at cost approximately represent the amount of money the Company has available, or its approximate assets. Using our existing investment policy, the cost of the Company’s marketable securities has gradually increased from approximately $28 million at December 31, 1993 to approximately $30 million at December 31, 2007.
Had the company invested in Treasury Bills, because of the continuing net loss (as demonstrated in Graph 1), the Company would have been forced to steadily sell investment capital to cover those losses. The calculations take this dwindling supply of capital into account. Lost capital would only have been partially replaced by interest on the Treasury Bills, and the amount of investment income would have declined as the amount of capital decreased. By year end 2004, the value of the Company’s securities would have dwindled to approximately $7 million, from a starting point of over $27 million. By year end 2005, the estimated value of the securities would have fallen to approximately $2 million and the Company would likely have faced likely bankruptcy by the end of 2006.
38
Graph 4: Hypothetical Change in Company Assets that Would Have Occurred Had Persistent Losses from Investment in Treasury Bills a 3% Rate of Interest Forced the Company to Cover Losses by Liquidating Sections of its Portfolio
Graph 4 illustrates the same scenario as Graph 3, but assuming a 3% interest rate from Treasury Bills. The loss is somewhat less in this scenario, but by year end 2004, securities would have fallen to approximately $10 million, and the estimated value of the securities by 2005 would have been approximately $5 million. Under this scenario, the Company would have been facing bankruptcy by the end of 2007.
39
Graph 5: Loans Payable per Year
Graph 5 illustrates the Company’s loans payable at December 31 from 1993 to 2007. From 1993 to 1995, the amount of loans payable decreased sharply, and then stayed in a narrow range from 1995 to 2001, remaining below $3 million and reaching a low of $1 million at December 31, 2001. After 2001, because of the company’s expanded research and development, the amount of loans began to increase steadily until December 31, 2005, when they exceeded the 1993 amount. By December 31, 2007, the amount of loans returned somewhat to 2004 levels but was still significant. Had the company invested in Treasury Bills, this would have led by year end 2007 to a combination of reduced capital, increased debt, and likely bankruptcy.
40
Graph 6: Operating Revenues and Total Expenses from 1993 to 2007
Graph 6 illustrates operational revenues and total expenses from 1993 to 2007. Operational revenues dropped sharply between 1995 and 1996. Between 1998 and 1999, operational revenues began to recover, and reached pre-1995 levels in 2007. Expenses were fairly constant between 1993 and 2001, but they have increased since 2001 because of the expansion in research, development, and marketing. Throughout the entire fifteen year period of 1993-2007, operating expenses have exceeded operating revenues each year.
41
Graph 7: Marketable Securities at Cost Compared to the Rate of Return
Graph 7 shows the cost of securities compared with rate of return (investment income/cost of securities) from 1993 to 2007. The rate of return includes dividends and net profits from security sales, but it does not include unrealized profits. If unrealized profits had been included, the rate of return would have been higher.
The actual rate of return is more than three times the rate of return that the company would have received if the Company had invested exclusively in Treasury Bills. The Company, therefore, has benefited from the cash management policy of the past 15 years.
42
Graph 8: Portfolio of Treasury Securities at One Year constant maturity from 1993 -2007 from Federal Reserve Bank Data.
Graph 8 shows the market yield for the past 15 years on U.S Government Treasury securities at a one year constant maturity. The yields have ranged from a high of 6.11% in 2000 down to a low of 1.24% in 2003. The average yield for the past fifteen years is 4.25%, and the average interest rate for the past five years is 3.24%.
43
Graph 9: Comparison of Net Earnings with Hypothetical Earnings That Would Have Resulted Had the Company Invested in Treasury Bills with Yields reported by the Federal Reserve Bank from 1993-2007.
Graph 9 illustrates the same three sets of data as graphs 1 and 2, utilizing interest rates from Graph 8. The results are similar to those from the previous two graphs, validating the accuracy of those hypothetical predictions. Had the company invested in these or similar Treasury Bills, the company would have faced persistent losses over this 15 year period.
44
Graph 10: Hypothetical Change in Company Assets that Would Have Occurred Had Persistent Losses from Investment in Treasury Bills with Yields Reported by the Federal Reserve Bank Forced the Company to Cover Losses by Liquidating Sections of its Portfolio
Graph 10 illustrates the same scenario as Graphs 3 and 4, utilizing the interest rates from Graph 8. Again, the results are very similar to those from graphs 4 and 5, providing validation for the hypothetical predictions. By year end 2004, securities would have fallen to approximately $15 million, and securities by year end 2005 to been approximately $10 million. Had the company invested in these or similar Treasury Bills, by year end 2006, the value of the securities would have fallen to $5 million and the Company would likely have faced bankruptcy in 2007.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Daxor Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Daxor Corporation and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Daxor Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

DAXOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business
Daxor Corporation is a medical device manufacturing company that offers additional biotech services, such as cryobanking, through its wholly owned subsidiary Scientific Medical Systems Corp. The main focus of Daxor Corporation has been the development and marketing of an instrument that rapidly and accurately measures human blood volume. This instrument is used in conjunction with a single use diagnostic injection and collection kit that the Company also sells to its customers.
Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Daxor Corporation and Scientific Medical Systems Corp, a wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications occurred to certain prior year amounts in order to conform to the current year classifications. The reclassifications have no effect on the reported net loss.
Segment Information
The Company has two operating segments: Equipment Sales and Related Services, and Cryobanking and Related Services.
The Equipment Sales and Related Services segment comprises the Blood Volume Analyzer equipment and related activity. This includes equipment sales, equipment rentals, equipment delivery fees, BVA-100 kit sales and service contract revenues.
The Cryobanking and Related Services segment is comprised of activity relating to the storage of blood and semen, and related laboratory services and handling fees.
Although not deemed an operating segment, the Company reports a third business segment; Investment activity. This segment reports the activity of the Company’s Investment Portfolio. This includes all earnings, gains and losses, and expenses relating to these investments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash equivalents to be all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less. Normally, these consist of U.S. Treasury Bills. At December 31, 2007 and 2006 there were $1,970,872 and $2,491,571 of U.S. Treasury Bills included in Cash and Cash Equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, accrued liabilities deferred option premiums and short term debt (loans payable and short positions on securities) approximate fair value because of their short maturities. The carrying amount of the mortgage payable is estimated to approximate fair value as the mortgage was closed in 2007 at a current interest rate.
54
Available-for-Sale Securities
Available-for-sale securities represent investments in debt and equity securities (primarily common and preferred stock of electric utility companies) that management has determined meet the definition of available-for-sale under SFAS No. 115 -Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Accordingly, these investments are stated at fair value and all unrealized holding gains or losses are recorded in the Stockholders’ Equity section as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), net of tax effects. Conversely, all realized gains, losses and earnings are recorded in the Statement of Operations under Other Income (Expense).
At certain times, the Company will engage in short selling of stock. When this occurs, the short position is marked to the market and recorded as a realized sale. Any gain or (loss) is recorded for the period presented in the Statement of Operations.
Historical cost is used by the Company to determine all gains and losses, and fair value is obtained by readily available market quotes on all securities
Puts and Calls at Fair Value
As part of the company’s investment strategy, put and call options are sold on various stocks the company is willing to buy or sell. The premiums received are deferred until such time as they are exercised or expire. In accordance with SFAS No. 133 -Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,these options are marked to market for each reporting period using readily available market quotes, and this fair value adjustment is recorded as a gain or loss in the Statement of Operations.
Upon exercise, the value of the premium will adjust the basis of the underlying security bought or sold. Options that expire are recorded as income in the period they expire.
Receivable from Broker
The Receivable from Broker represents cash proceeds from sales of securities and dividends. These proceeds are kept in dividend bearing money market accounts.
Securities borrowed at fair value
When a call option that has been sold short is exercised, a short position is created in the related common stock. The recorded cost of these short positions is the amount received on the sale of the stock plus the proceeds received from the underlying call option. These positions are shown on the Balance Sheet as “Securities borrowed at fair value” and the carrying value is reduced or increased at the end of each quarter by the mark to market adjustment which is recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 115 –Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.
Securities sold, not yet received at fair value
Some of the financial institutions who hold our securities do not increase our account with the cash proceeds on the sale of a short stock. In lieu of cash, our account receives a credit for the proceeds of the short sale. Cash is added to or subtracted from our account weekly based on the market value of our short positions. These securities are recorded by the Company as received but not delivered and are valued at their quoted market price.
Investment Goals, Strategies & Policies
The Company’s investment goals, strategies and policies are as follows:
| | | | |
| 1. | The Company’s investment goals are capital preservation and maintaining returns on this capital with a high degree of safety. |
| | |
| 2. | The Company maintains a diversified securities portfolio comprised primarily of electric utility preferred and common stocks. The Company also sells covered calls on portions of its portfolio and also sells puts on stocks it is willing to own. It also sells uncovered calls and will engage in short position up to 15% of the value of its portfolio. The Company’s short position may temporarily rise to 20% of the Company’s portfolio without any specific action because of changes in valuation, but should not exceed this amount. The Company’s investment policy is to maintain a minimum of 80% of its portfolio in electric utilities. Investments in utilities are primarily in electric companies. Investments in non-utility stocks will not exceed 15% of the portfolio. |
| | |
| 3. | Investment in speculative issues, including short sales, maximum of 15%. |
| | |
| 4. | Limited use of options to increase yearly investment income. |
| | |
| | | a. | The use of “Call” Options. Covered options can be sold up to a maximum of 20% of the value of the portfolio. This provides extra income in addition to dividends received from the Company’s investments. The risk of this strategy is that investments the Company may have preferred to retain can be called away. Therefore, a limitation of 20% is placed on the amount of stock on which options which can be written. The amount of the portfolio on which options are actually written is usually between 3-10% of the portfolio. The actual turnover of the portfolio is such that the average holding period is in excess of 5 years for available for sale securities. |
55
| | | | |
| | | b. | The use of “Put” options. Put options are written on stocks which the company is willing to purchase. While the company does not have a high rate of turnover in its portfolio, there is some turnover; for example, due to preferred stocks being called back by the issuing company, or stocks being called away because call options have been written. If the stock does not go below the put exercise price, the Company records the proceeds from the sale as income. If the put is exercised, the cost basis is reduced by the proceeds received from the sale of the put option. There may be occasions where the cost basis of the stock is lower than the market price at the time the option is exercised. |
| | | | |
| | | c. | Speculative Short Sales/Short Options. The Company limits its speculative transactions to no more than 15% of the value of the portfolio. The Company may sell uncovered calls on certain stocks. If the stock price does not rise to the price of the calls, the option is not exercised, and the Company records the proceeds from the sale of the call as income. If the call is exercised, the Company will have a short position in the related stock. The Company then has the choice of covering the short position or selling a put against it. If the put is exercised, the short position is covered. The Company’s current accounting policy is to mark to the market at the end of each quarter any short positions, and include it in the income statement. While the Company may have so-called speculative positions equal to 15% of its accounts, in actual practice the average short stock positions usually account for less than 10% of the assets of the Company. |
| | | | |
| 5. | In the event of a merger, the Company will elect to receive shares in the new company. In the event of a cash only offer, the Company will receive cash and be forced to sell its stock. |
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are reviewed by the Company at the end of each reporting period to determine the collectability based upon the aging of the balances and the history of the customer. As of December 31, 2007, the Company determined that a reserve of $57,655 should be placed against the outstanding receivable balance of $271,989. As of December 31, 2006, the Company determined that a reserve of $34,163 should be placed against the outstanding receivable balance of $208,272.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO), and consists primarily of finished goods.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets generally consist of prepayments for future services and corporate capital base/personal holding taxes. Prepayments are expensed when the services are received or as the prepaid capital base/personal holding taxes are offset by the related tax liability. All prepaid expenses and taxes are expensed within one year of the Balance Sheet date and are thus classified as Current Assets.
Property and Equipment
Property and Equipment is stated at cost and consists of BVA equipment loaned on a trial basis, laboratory and office equipment, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements. These assets are depreciated under the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives, which range from 5 to 39 years.
Amounts spent to repair or maintain these assets arising out of the normal course of business are expensed in the period incurred. The cost of betterments and additions are capitalized and depreciated over the life of the asset. The cost of assets disposed of or determined to be non-revenue producing, together with the related accumulated depreciation applicable thereto, are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Currently, management does not believe there is any impairment of any long-lived assets.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes operational revenues from several sources. The first source is the sale of equipment, the Blood Volume Analyzer, to customers. The second source is the sale of single use tracer doses supplied as Volumex kits that are injected into the patient and measured by the Blood Volume Analyzer. The third source of revenue is service contracts on the Blood Volume Analyzer, after it has been sold to a customer. The fourth source of revenue is the storage fees associated with cryobanked blood and semen specimens, and associated laboratory tests.
56
The Company currently offers three different methods of purchasing the Blood Volume Analyzer equipment. A customer may purchase the equipment directly, lease the equipment, or rent the equipment on a month-to-month basis. The revenues generated by a direct sale or a monthly rental are recognized as revenue in the period in which the sale or rental occurred. If a customer is to select the “lease” option, the Company refers its customer to a third party finance company with which it has established a relationship, and if the lease is approved, the Company receives 100% of the sales proceeds from the finance company and recognizes 100% of the revenue. The finance company then deals directly with the customer with regard to lease payments and related collections.
The sales of the single-use radioisotope doses (Volumex) that are used in conjunction with the Blood Volume Analyzer are recognized as revenue in the period in which the doses are shipped.
When Blood Volume Analyzer equipment has been sold to a customer, the Company offers a one year warranty on the product, which covers all mechanical failures. This one year warranty is effective on the date of sale of the equipment. After the one year period expires, customers may purchase a service contract through the Company, which is usually offered in one-year increments. These service contracts are recorded by the Company as deferred revenue and are amortized into income in the period in which they apply. As at December 31, 2007 and 2006, deferred revenue pertaining to these service contracts was $ 7,417and $0, respectively.
The storage fees associated with the cryobanked blood and semen samples are recognized as income in the period for which the fee applies. Although the Company historically offered annual storage fee contracts, effective October 1, 2005, the Company only offers three month storage terms.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. This pronouncement requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences of events attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period in which the enactment rate changes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reduced through the establishment of a valuation allowance at such time as, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports components of comprehensive income under the requirements of SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. This statement establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and requires certain transactions to be presented as separate components of stockholders’ equity. The Company currently reports the unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, net of deferred taxes, as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Product Warranties and Related Liabilities
When a Blood Volume Analyzer has been sold to a customer, the Company offers a one year warranty on the product, which covers all mechanical failures. This one year warranty is effective on the date of sale of the unit. All major components of the equipment are purchased and warranted by the original third party manufacturers. After the one year period expires, customers may purchase a service contract through the Company, which is usually offered in one-year increments. To date, the Company has not experienced any major mechanical failures on any equipment sold. In addition, the majority of the potential liability would revert to the original manufacturer. Due to this history, a liability has not been recorded with respect to product or warranty liability.
Historically, service contracts were recorded by the Company as deferred revenue and were amortized into income in the period in which they were earned. Effective January 1, 2006, the company offers service contracts priced on annual basis which are billed quarterly and revenue is earned in the same calendar quarter that it is billed. There were three hospitals that the Company billed during the year ended December 31, 2007 for the entire amount of their annual service contract. As at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, deferred revenue pertaining to the historical service contracts was $7,417 and $0 respectively.
57
Research and Development
Costs associated with the development of new products are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development costs for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $2,576,708, $2,332,399 and $2,152,261. These amounts have been calculated according to the criteria specified in SFAS No. 2 –Accounting for Research and Development Costs
Advertising Costs
Advertising expenditures relating to the advertising and marketing of the Company’s products and services are expensed in the period incurred. Advertising Expenses for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $ 18,050, $17,943 and $20,262.
Earnings Per Share
The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share are based on the average number of common shares outstanding during each period, adjusted for the effects of outstanding stock options.
In 2007, 2006 and 2005, stock options were not included in the computation of diluted loss per common share due to their anti-dilutive effect. The number of anti-dilutive stock options excluded from the computation of diluted loss per common share was 90,000, 96,500, and 78,100, respectively.
Leased Employees
The Company has entered into an agreement with ADP Total Source, whereby the Company leases its employees from ADP. The agreement requires the Company to reimburse ADP for all employee wages, related taxes, employee benefit costs and human resource fees.
The Company records these payments using the same classifications for which the reimbursement is made (i.e. wage reimbursements are recorded as wage expense).
Stock Based Compensation
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R - Share-Based Payment: An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 123, (“SFAS 123R”) which requires companies to recognize in the income statement the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. SFAS 123R is effective for financial statements issued for annual reporting periods that begin after June 15, 2005. In adopting SFAS No. 123R, the Company used the modified prospective transition method, as of January 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2006.
Under the modified prospective transition method, awards that are granted, modified or settled after the date of adoption will be measured and accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123R. Compensation cost for awards granted prior to, but not vested, as of the date SFAS 123R is adopted would be based on the grant date attributes originally used to value those awards for pro forma purposes under SFAS 123. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of, and for the year ended December 31, 2007, reflect the impact of SFAS No. 123R. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for periods prior to January 1, 2006 have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123R.
SFAS 123R also requires the tax benefits associated with these share-based payments to be classified as financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, rather than as operating cash flows as required under previous regulations.
At December 31, 2007, the Company has one stock-based compensation plan, the 2004 Stock Option Plan. This Plan allows for the issuance of a maximum of 200,000 shares of common stock or 5% of the outstanding balance of shares of the Company on the date of grant, whichever is greater. Under the provisions of the Option Plan, the exercise price of any stock options issued is a minimum of 110% of the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date of the option.
At December 31, 2007, there is a total unvested stock-based compensation expense of $41,090 and a total weighted average remaining service term of 0.70 years. Total share-based compensation expense recognized in the Statement of Operations aggregated $43,937 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and $77,980 for the year ended December 31, 2006.
58
To calculate the option-based compensation under SFAS 123R, the Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which it had previously used for the valuation of option-based awards for its pro-forma information required under SFAS 123 for periods prior to fiscal 2006. The Company’s determination of fair value of option-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, risk-free interest rate, and the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. The expected volatility, holding period, and forfeitures of options are based on historical experience.
The following table represents stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2007:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Number of Shares | | Exercise Price | | Remaining Contract Life | |
| |
| |
| |

On October 1, 2002 the Company granted options to an Officer of the Corporation giving him the right to purchase 20,000 shares of Daxor Common Stock at a price of $15.20. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the employee exercised 17,100 options and the remaining 2,900 expired without being exercised.
As part of this exercise of options, the Company sold 17,100 shares of Treasury stock for $15.20 during the year ended December 31, 2007 resulting in total proceeds due of $259,920.
59
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for stock options issued under its plans under APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations. If compensation cost had been determined based on fair values at the date of grant under SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, pro-forma net loss and loss per share would have been as follows:
| | | | |
| | 2005 | |
| |
| |
Net loss, as reported | | $ | (1,335,981 | ) |
Deduct total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair-value-based method, net of tax | | | (82,790 | ) |

Proforma net income (loss) | | $ | (1,418,771 | ) |
| |
|
| |
|
Pro forma net income (loss) per common share: basic and diluted | | $ | (.31 | ) |
| |
|

In 2007, 2006 and 2005 a total of 30,200, 36,900 and 25,000, respectively, of stock options were issued to various employees under the 2004 Stock Option Plan. The weighted-average fair value per stock option granted in 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $2.65, $2.95 and $3.40 respectively. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 2007, 2006 and 2005: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 24.14%, 24.62% and 28.65%, respectively, risk-free interest rates of 4.14%, 4.34% and 3.32%, respectively and an expected life of 3.00 years for 2007, 2.67 years for 2006 and 2.25 years for 2005.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, The FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Earlier application of the provisions of this Interpretation is encouraged if the enterprise has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements, in the period this Interpretation is adopted. Management does not expect that the application of this standard will have any effect on the Company’s results of operations or its financial condition.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 requires quantitative disclosures using a tabular format in all periods (interim and annual) and qualitative disclosures about the valuation techniques used to measure fair value in all annual periods. SFAS 157 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157.
In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 1M (SAB 108), “Financial Statements - Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” which is effective for the 2007 year. SAB 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for the purpose of determining whether the financial statements are materially misstated. Under this guidance, companies should take into account both the effect of a misstatement on the current year balance sheet as well as the impact upon the current year income statement in assessing the materiality of a current year misstatement. Once a current year misstatement has been quantified, the guidance in SAB Topic 1M, “Financial Statements - Materiality,” (SAB 99) should be applied to determine whether the misstatement is material. The implementation of SAB 108 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
60
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on its financial statements.
In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued EITF 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities,” which provides guidance on the accounting for certain nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities. This issue is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, or fiscal 2009 for the Company. We are still assessing the potential impact of adoption.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements -- an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 requires that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, and the amount of consolidated net income, be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated financial statements within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. It also requires once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. Sufficient disclosures are required to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS 160 on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows and does not believe the impact of the adoption will be material.
In December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“SAB 110”). SAB 110 amends and replaces Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14, Share-Based Payment of the Staff Accounting Bulletin series. Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14 expresses the views of the staff regarding the use of the “simplified” method in developing an estimate of expected term of “plain vanilla” share options and allows usage of the “simplified” method for share option grants prior to December 31, 2007. SAB 110 allows public companies which do not have historically sufficient experience to provide a reasonable estimate to continue use of the “simplified” method for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share option grants after December 31, 2007. We currently use the “simplified” method to estimate the expected term for share option grants as we do not have enough historical experience to provide a reasonable estimate. We will continue to use the “simplified” method until we have enough historical experience to provide a reasonable estimate of expected term in accordance with SAB 110. SAB 110 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations (revised 2007).” SFAS No. 141(R) applies the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations established in SFAS No. 141 to all acquisitions where the acquirer gains a controlling interest, regardless of whether consideration was exchanged. Consistent with SFAS No. 141, SFAS No. 141(R) requires the acquirer to fair value the assets and liabilities of the acquiree and record goodwill on bargain purchases, with main difference the application to all acquisitions where control is achieved. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operation.
(2) AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES
Upon adoption of SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, management has determined that the company’s portfolio is best characterized as “Available-For-Sale”. SFAS No. 115 requires these securities to be recorded at their fair market values, with the offsetting unrealized holding gains or losses being recorded as Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Equity section of the Balance Sheet. The adoption of this pronouncement has resulted in an increase in the carrying value of the company’s available-for-sale securities, as at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, of approximately 149.84% and 187.33%, respectively, over its historical cost.
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115, the adjustment in stockholders’ equity has been recorded net of the tax effect had these gains been realized.
61
The Company uses the historical cost method in the determination of its realized and unrealized gains and losses. The following tables summarize the Company’s investments as of:

(10) CURRENT INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes, all of which is current, is comprised of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2007 | | 2006 | | 2005 | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
Federal | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed PHC tax | | | 1,021,164 | | | | | | | |
AMT Tax | | | 219,977 | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
State Franchise taxes | | | 69,883 | | | 11,750 | | | 12,168 | |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Total Current Tax Provision | | | 1,311,024 | | | 11,750 | | | 12,168 | |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
The current federal income tax is comprised of the personal holding company (PHC) income tax assessment of $1,021,164 and the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) of $219,977.
Under Internal revenue code section 542 a company is defined as a PHC if it meets both an ownership test and an income test. The ownership test is met if a company has five or fewer shareholders that own more than 50% of the company, which is applicable to Daxor. The income test is met if PHC income items such as dividends, interest and rents exceed 60% of adjusted ordinary gross income. Adjusted ordinary income is defined as all items of income except capital gains. For the year ended December 31, 2007, more than 60% of Daxor’s adjusted gross income came from items defined as PHC income.
Determining the PHC tax liability requires computing Daxor’s “undistributed PHC income” and taxing such PHC income at the statutory rate of 15%. Undistributed PHC income is current year taxable income of the Company, exclusive of the net operating loss carry forward deduction that is allowed for regular tax purposes. Undistributed PHC income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $11,096,760. The calculation does allow for certain deductions and the most significant of these deductions is long-term capital gains, which for Daxor in 2007 was $4,063,828. During 2007 the Company had a large amount of short-term capital gains totaling $10,258,359. Short term capital gains are not a deduction for PHC tax purposes, and therefore the Company had undistributed PHC income of $6,807,758, that gave rise to the PHC tax liability. To avoid the PHC tax, the Company could have elected to distribute its undistributed PHC income as a dividend to its shareholders and the Company elected not to do so.
The AMT liability is caused because the statute limits AMT NOL carry forwards to 90% of AMT taxable income, leaving 10% to be taxed at AMT rates.
The federal tax liability was paid on March 17, 2008.
The long and short term capital gains are shown on the Income Statement as part of “Gains on sales of securities, net”.
State franchise taxes are based on the company’s net worth.
The following is a reconciliation for the year ended December 31, 2007 between the federal statutory rate of 35% and the effective rate:
| | | | | | | |
Book Income | | | 3,726,525 | | | 35.00 | % |
| | | | | | | |
Non-deductible items | | | 459,110 | | | 4.31 | % |
| | | | | | | |
Franchise Tax | | | 69,883 | | | 0.66 | % |
| | | | | | | |
Undistributed PHC tax | | | 1,021,164 | | | 9.59 | % |
| | | | | | | |
AMT Tax | | | 219,977 | | | 2.07 | % |
| | | | | | | |
Dividend deduction | | | (592,771 | ) | | -5.57 | % |

By statute, the tax years ended December 31, 2003 through December 31, 2006 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.

(11) DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes result from differences in the recognition of gains and losses on marketable securities, as well as operating loss carry forwards, for tax and financial statement purposes. The deferred income tax results in a liability for the marketable securities, while the operating loss carry forwards result in a deferred tax asset.
A valuation allowance has been recorded for the entire deferred tax asset as a result of uncertainties regarding the realization of the asset balance due to the history of losses and the variability of operating results. These net operating losses and corresponding expiration dates are as follows:
| | | | | |
Net Operating Loss | | | Expiration Date – December 31; | |
| | |
| |
$ | 723,939 | | | 2022 | |
$ | 2,362,191 | | | 2023 | |
$ | 1,964,522 | | | 2024 | |
$ | 2,916,514 | | | 2025 | |
$ | 1,776,823 | | | 2026 | |
The deferred tax liability that results from the marketable securities does not flow through the Statement of Operations due to the classification of the marketable securities as available-for-sale. Instead, the deferred tax liability is recorded against the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, in the Stockholders’ Equity section of the Balance Sheet.
The deferred tax computations, computed at federal statutory rates of 35% in 2007 and 35% in 2006, are as follows:
| | | | | | | |
| | 2007 | | 2006 | |
Deferred tax assets: | | | | | | | |
Net operating loss carry forwards | | $ | 3,410,396 | | $ | 5,724,139 | |
Valuation allowance | | | (3,410,396 | ) | | (5,724,139 | ) |
| |

Total deferred tax assets | | | 0 | | | 0 | |

Deferred tax liabilities: | | | | | | | |
Fair market value adjustment for available-for-sale securities | | $ | 15,726,213 | | $ | 15,281,370 | |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized no material adjustment to unrecognized tax benefits. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, we had $5,724,139 of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect our effective tax rate if recognized. At December 31, 2007 we have $ 3,410,396 of unrecognized tax benefits.
A valuation allowance has been established equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets as the Company is not assured at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 that it is more likely than not that these benefits will be realized. The valuation allowance is evaluated considering positive and negative evidence about whether the deferred tax assets will be realized. At that time of evaluation, the allowance is either increased or reduced; reduction could result in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax assets is no longer impaired and the allowance is no longer required. The decrease in the valuation allowance of approximately $2,314,000 was due to the decrease in the net operating loss of Daxor Corporation and subsidiary.
(12) CERTAIN CONCENTRATIONS AND CONTINGENCIES
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of the common stock of marketable electric utilities. At December 31, 2007, stocks representing 97.98% of the market value of common stocks held by the Company were listed on either the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or the American Stock Exchange (AMEX). The Company maintains its investments in six different brokerage accounts, four at UBS, one at Merrill Lynch and one at JP Morgan Chase. The limits of this insurance which is offered by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) is up to $100,000 for the total amount of cash on deposit and up to $500,000 for the total amount of securities held at Merrill Lynch and JP Morgan Chase. UBS provides supplemental insurance up to the face value of the securities in excess of the SIPC limit of $500,000.
Each of these brokerage houses is well known in the industry and management does not believe that these securities bear any risk of loss over and above the basic risk that a security bears through the normal activity of the securities markets. However, as at December 31, 2007, the fair market value of securities in excess of the insured limits is $26,820,046 and the cash on deposit in excess of the insured limit is $9,395,416.
In the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 there were three customers (hospitals) that accounted for 32% of the Company’s total consolidated sales. Management believes that the loss of any one customer would have an adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated business for a short period of time. All three of these hospitals have purchased their BVA-100 equipment. The Company has not had any situations in which a hospital, after having purchased a blood volume analyzer, discontinued purchasing Volumex kits. This suggests that, when more hospitals purchase equipment, they will continue with ongoing purchase of Volumex kits. The Company continues to seek new customers, so that any one hospital will represent a smaller percentage of overall sales.
The Company’s Volumex syringes are filled by an FDA approved radio pharmaceutical manufacturer. This manufacturer is the only one approved by the FDA in the United States to manufacture Volumex for interstate commerce. If this manufacturer were to cease filling the Volumex syringes for Daxor before the Company had a chance to make alternative arrangements, the effect on Daxor’s business could be material.

As disclosed in our Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2007, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented a significant policy change affecting the reimbursement for all diagnostic radiopharmaceutical products and contrast agents which was effective as of January 1, 2008. Diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals such as Daxor’s Volumex will not be separately reimbursable by Medicare for outpatient services. At this time, it is unclear if this policy change will also be implemented by private third party health insurance companies.
The reimbursement policy for hospital outpatients through December 31, 2007 included payment for both the cost of the procedure to perform a blood volume analysis (BVA) and the radiopharmaceutical (Daxor’s Volumex radiopharmaceutical). CMS’s new policy only includes the reimbursement for the procedure and would require the hospital to absorb the cost of the radiopharmaceutical. There will be an upward adjustment for the procedure code to include some of the costs of the radiopharmaceutical. However, this upward adjustment does not entirely cover the costs associated with the procedure and the radiopharmaceutical.
Many medical societies and major manufacturers of radiopharmaceuticals and contrast agents are currently engaged in an aggressive attempt to reverse this ruling. The Company has had similar issues in the past that have negatively impaired revenue from operations. This particular issue may have a similar impact. However, at the present time, the Company is unable to quantify what the effect of this ruling will be on revenue from operations for the year ending December 31, 2008.
As discussed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, by a letter dated February 8, 2007, the staff of the Northeast Regional Office of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission advised Dr. Joseph Feldschuh, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Daxor that it is recommending that the Commission bring action against Dr. Feldschuh and Daxor Corporation for violation of Section 7(a) of the Investment Company Act. The company responded to the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9, 2007.
The company received a notice from the SEC in November of 2005 about whether or not it should be designated as an investment company. The company responded to this notice on January 13, 2006. The Company has provided extensive documentation directly to the SEC and in the 10-K filing for the year ended December 31, 2006 as to why it is primarily an operating company and not primarily an investment company.
As disclosed in our Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007, the Company received a verbal request from the Northeast Regional Office of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in June of 2007 for information pertaining to discussions that had taken place at previous meetings with representatives of the SEC in 1984 and 1992. The Company has complied with that request.
The company cannot determine whether the Commission will decide to bring an enforcement action against either the Company or its Chief Executive Officer, nor can the Company determine the nature or amount of any legal or other regulatory penalties or sanctions that may be imposed.
A resolution was passed at the Board of Directors meeting of March 23, 2007 whereby the Company agreed to indemnify the Chief Executive Officer for any expenses he may incur if the Securities and Exchange Commission brings an enforcement action against him as specified in their letter of February 8, 2007.
The Company has incurred claims in the normal course of business. None of these claims had a material effect on the financial statements. At the present time there are no pending legal claims.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of December 31, 2005, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under the Securities and Exchange of 1934, as amended.
During the calendar year ended December 31, 2005, the Company had insufficient numbers of internal personnel possessing the appropriate knowledge, experience and training in applying US GAAP and in reporting financial information in accordance with the requirements of the Commission. The evaluation revealed the following: insufficient controls over dissemination of information regarding non-routine and complex transactions by our accounting staff to our management, as well as incorrect treatment and lack of proper analysis of such transactions by our accounting staff. This weakness resulted in material adjustments proposed by our independent registered accountants with respect to our financial statements for the calendar years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003. As a result of these weaknesses, the figures for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were restated on November 9, 2006 from their previous filing.
In late 2005, the Company hired a Controller, who is a Certified Public Accountant to oversee the accounting department and coordinate the efforts of analysis and dissemination. These efforts include design changes and related monitoring of the internal control system. The Company temporarily hired two Certified Public Accountants to assist with the work required to bring our prior financial statements into compliance with all reporting requirements. It is management’s intention to address accounting issues on a timely basis, and prevent misstatement based on errors and/or lack of understanding. Management now believes the internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures in place at December 31, 2007 to be effective.
The Company’s management and Board of Directors are fully committed to the review and evaluation of our procedures and policies designed to assure effective internal control over financial reporting. It is the opinion of management that the additions to the internal accounting staff will assist in the establishment of an effective design and operation of the internal control system and will improve the quality of future period financial reporting.
