NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

Effective July 1, 2015, the Company restructured the corporate organization of the management of diagnostic imaging centers segment of our business. The reorganization was structured to more completely integrate the operations of Health Management Corporation of America and HDM. Imperial contributed all of its assets (which were utilized in the business of Health Management Corporation of America) to HDM and received a 24.2% interest in HDM. Health Management Corporation of America retained a direct ownership interest of 45.8% in HDM, and the original investors in HDM retained a 30.0% ownership interest in the newly expanded HDM. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Company purchased non-controlling interests from the minority shareholders for $546,000. Currently the Company has a direct ownership interest of 70.8% and the investors’ have a 29.2% ownership interest. The entire management of diagnostic imaging centers business segment is now being conducted by HDM, operating under the name “Health Management Company of America”.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on September 28, 2023 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

The global pandemic of COVID-19 has caused turbulence and uncertainty in the United States and international markets and economies which had adversely affected our workforce, liquidity, financial conditions, revenues, profitability and business operations. The Company was able to enact certain decisions to allow the Company to navigate the global pandemic and from further losses, additional decreases in scan volume and avoid any significant disruption of the business. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic appears to be stabilizing and revised guidance from the Center for Disease Control and other regulatory agencies recommend an approach to COVID-19 that is more consistent with other respiratory illnesses. We are unable to predict if there will be additional consequences on our operations from COIVD-19. We will still continue to monitor the recommendations of the various federal, state, and local regulators and abide by their requirements.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FONAR Corporation, its majority and wholly-owned subsidiaries and partnerships (collectively the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenues

The revenue recognition standard in ASC 606 outlines a single comprehensive model for recognizing revenue as performance obligations, defined in a contract with a customer as goods or services transferred to the customer in exchange for consideration, are satisfied. The standard also requires expanded disclosures regarding the Company’s revenue recognition policies and significant judgements employed in the determination of revenue.

Our revenues generally relate to net patient fees received from various payers and patients themselves under contracts in which our performance obligations are to provide diagnostic services to the patients. Revenues are recorded during the period our obligations to provide diagnostic services are satisfied. Our performance obligations for diagnostic services are generally satisfied over a period of less than one day. The contractual relationships with patients, in most cases, also involve a third-party payer (Medicare, Medicaid, managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies, including plans offered through the health insurance exchanges) and the transaction prices for the services provided are dependent upon the terms provided by (Medicare and Medicaid) or negotiated with (managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies) the third-party payers. The payment arrangements with third-party payers for the services we provide to the related patients typically specify payments at amounts less than our standard charges and generally provide for payments based upon predetermined rates per diagnostic services or discounted fee-for-service rates. Management continually reviews the contractual estimation process to consider and incorporate updates to laws and regulations and the frequent changes in managed care contractual terms resulting from contract renegotiations and renewals.

Business Combination

When the qualifications for business combination accounting treatment are met, it requires us to recognize separately from goodwill the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period of final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of income.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock and stock equivalents outstanding, net of common stock. In accordance with ASC Topic 260-10, “Participating Securities and the Two-Class method”, the Company used the Two-Class method for calculating basic income per share and applied the if converted method in calculating diluted income per share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of all dilutive securities into common stock based on the average market price of common shares outstanding during the period. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, diluted EPS for common shareholders includes 128 shares upon conversion of Class C Common.

Recent Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (740) “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which requires the annual financial statements to include consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied on a prospective basis, with a retrospective option. We are currently evaluating the effect that adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have on our disclosures.

In November 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280)”, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments require disclosure of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) as well as other segment items, extended certain annual disclosures to interim periods, clarify the applicability to single reportable segment entities, permit, more than one measure of profit or loss to be reported under certain conditions, and require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM. The effective date for public entities is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We expect to adopt the new disclosures as required and are currently evaluating the impact on the related disclosures.

Recent Accounting Standards (Continued)

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Loses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology of previous GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to assess credit loss estimates. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted this standard on July 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective approach and it did not have a material impact of the Company’s financial statements, resulting in no adjustment to prior year earnings.

FASB, the Emerging Issues Task Force and the SEC have issued certain other accounting standards, updates, and regulations as of March 31, 2024 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, management does not believe that any of those updates would have significantly affected the Company’s financial accounting measures or disclosures had they been in effect during 2024 or 2023, and it does not believe that any of those standards will have a significant impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements at the time they become effective.

The Company’s customers are concentrated in the healthcare industry.

Accounts Receivable

Credit risk with respect to the Company’s accounts receivable related to product sales and service and repair fees is limited due to the customer advances received prior to the commencement of work performed and the billing of amounts to customers as sub-assemblies are completed. Service and repair fees are billed on a monthly or quarterly basis and the Company does not continue providing these services if accounts receivable become past due. The Company controls credit risk with respect to accounts receivable from service and repair fees through its credit evaluation process, credit limits, monitoring procedures and reasonably short collection terms. The Company performs ongoing credit authorizations before a product sales contract is entered into or service and repair fees are provided.

Long Term Accounts Receivable

Long term accounts receivable balances at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 amounted to approximately $576 and $710, respectively. The Company will generate revenue from long-term, non-cancellable contracts to provide service and repair services. Future revenue to be recognized over the following two years as of March 31, 2024 is as follows:

Schedule of Future revenue
2026	$	406
2027		166
Total	$	572

Medical Receivables

Medical receivables are due under fee-for-service contracts from third party payors, such as hospitals, government sponsored healthcare programs, patient’s legal counsel and directly from patients. Substantially all the revenue relates to patients residing in Florida. The carrying amount of the medical receivable is reduced by an allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. The Company determines allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectible accounts based on specific agings, specific payor collection issues that have been identified and based on payor classifications and historical experience at each site.

Management and Other Fees Receivable

The Company’s receivables from the related and non-related professional corporations (PC’s) substantially consist of fees outstanding under management agreements. Payment of the outstanding fees is dependent on collection by the PC’s of fees from third party medical reimbursement organizations, principally insurance companies and health management organizations.

Payment of the management fee receivables from the PC’s may be impaired by the inability of the PC’s to collect in a timely manner their medical fees from the third-party payors, particularly insurance carriers covering automobile no-fault and workers compensation claims due to longer payment cycles and rigorous informational requirements and certain other disallowed claims. Approximately 66.8% and 67.6% of the PCs’ net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were derived from no-fault and personal injury protection claims. Approximately 66.8% and 67.9% of the PCs’ net revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were derived from no-fault and personal injury protection claims. The Company considers the aging of its accounts receivable in determining the amount of allowance for credit losses. The Company generally takes all legally available steps to collect its receivables. Credit losses associated with the receivables are provided for in the condensed consolidated financial statements and have historically been within management’s expectations.

NOTE 4 – OPERATING & FINANCING LEASES

The Company accounts for lease under ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842). This standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based upon the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. We have also elected the transition package of the practical expedients permitted within the standard which eliminates the requirements to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and indirect costs.

The Company accounts for its various operating leases in accordance with Topic 842, as updated by ASU 2016-02. At the inception of a lease, the Company recognizes right-of-use lease assets and related lease liabilities measured at present value of future lease payments on its balance sheet. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Our most common initial term varies in length from 2 to 10 years. Including renewal options negotiated with the landlord, we have a total span of 2 to 16 years at the facilities we lease. The Company reviewed its contracts with vendors and customers, determining that its right-to-use lease assets consisted of only office space operating leases. In determining the right-to-use lease assets and liabilities, the Company did recognize lease extension options which the Company feels would be reasonably exercised. Our incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) used to discount the stream of operating lease payments is closely related to the interest rates available to the Company.

A reconciliation of operating and financing lease payments undiscounted cash flows to lease liabilities recognized as of March 31, 2024 is as follows:

	Schedule of lessee operating leases liability maturity
Twelve Months Ending March 31,		Operating Lease Payments			Financing Lease Payments
	2025	$	5,926		$	244

NOTE 9 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

On December 31, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Magnetic Resonance Management, LLC (“MRM”) for the sale of a MRI scanner. MRM is owned by the CEO and President of the Company. The sales price of the equipment was $577 which is payable based upon a promissory note dated December 1, 2023. The note bears interest at a rate of 9% and is payable in full at the maturity of the note in December 2028. The MRI scanner had zero basis, which resulted in a gain of $577 being recorded. The Company has the option but not the obligation to re-take possession of the scanner in lieu of payment upon maturity of the note.

NOTE 10 – SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

During the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the Company paid $67 and $42 for interest, respectively.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the Company paid $383 and $1,140 for income taxes, respectively.

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims arising from the ordinary course of its business, including personal injury, customer contract and employment claims. In the opinion of management, the aggregate liability, if any, with respect to such actions, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

There were no material changes in litigation from that reported in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

Other Matters

On September 13, 2022, the Company adopted a stock repurchase plan. The plan has no expiration date and cannot determine the number of shares which will be repurchased. On September 26, 2022, the Board of Directors has approved up to $9 million to be repurchased under the plan which will be purchased on the publicly traded open market at prevailing prices. During the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company repurchased 116 and 73 shares at a cost of $1,885 and $1,249, respectively. The Company cancelled 123 shares and 16 shares at a cost of $2,005 and $402 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

Other Matters – (Continued)

The Company maintains a self-funded health insurance program with a stop-loss umbrella policy with a third party insurer to limit the maximum potential liability for individual claims to $150 per person and for a maximum potential claim liability based on member enrollment. With respect to this program, the Company considers historical and projected medical utilization data when estimating its health insurance program liability and related expense. As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $70 and $101, respectively, in reserve for its self-funded health insurance programs. The reserves are included in “Other current liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company regularly analyzes its reserves for incurred but not reported claims, and for reported but not paid claims related to its reinsurance and self-funded insurance programs. The Company believes its reserves are adequate. However, significant judgment is involved in assessing these reserves such as assessing historical paid claims, average lags between the claims’ incurred date, reported dates and paid dates, and the frequency and severity of claims. There may be differences between actual settlement amounts and recorded reserves and any resulting adjustments are included in expense once a probable amount is known. There were no significant adjustments recorded in the periods covered by this report.

NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES

In accordance with ASC 740-270, “Income Taxes – Interim Reporting”, the Company is required at the end of each interim period to determine the best estimate of its annual effective tax rate and apply that rate to year-to-date ordinary income or loss. The resulting tax expense (or benefit) is adjusted for the tax effect of specific events, if any, required to be discretely recognized in the interim period as they occur. For the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded income tax expense of $4,884 and $2,889, respectively. The nine month 2024 provision is comprised of a current income tax component of $1,881 and a deferred income tax component of $3,003. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded income tax expense of $1,848 and $17, respectively. The three month 2024 provision is comprised of a current income tax component of $1,129 and a deferred income tax component of $719. Obligations for any liability associated with the current income tax provision, has been reduced, primarily resulting from the benefits and utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a corporate tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as unrecognized benefits. A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carryforward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC Topic 740. The Company believes there are no uncertain tax positions in prior year tax filings and therefore it has not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

In accordance with ASC Topic 740, interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated (if applicable) and would be classified as “Interest expense, net”. Penalties if incurred would be recognized as a component of “Selling, general and administrative” expenses.

The Company files corporate income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions. In most instances, the Company is no longer subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2018.

The Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $7,039 and a deferred tax liability of $395 as of March 31, 2024, primarily relating to allowance for doubtful accounts and tax credits. The net operating losses begin to expire in 2028 for federal tax and state income tax purposes. The Company anticipates that their Federal operating loss will be utilized in the current fiscal year.

Future ownership changes as determined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue code could further limit the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. As of March 31, 2024, no such changes in ownership have occurred.

The Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) was enacted on August 16, 2022. The IRA includes provisions imposing a 1% excise tax on share repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022 and introduces a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) on adjusted financial statement income. The CAMT is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. Currently, the Company is expecting the IRA not to have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or when such net operating losses can be utilized. The Company considers projected future taxable income, the regulatory environment of the industry and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. At present, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the benefits from certain deferred tax asset carryforwards, will not all be fully realized. In recognition of this inherent risk, a valuation allowance was established for separate state net operating losses that are not expected to be fully utilized. A valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal of the remainder of the valuation.

NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated events that occurred subsequent to March 31, 2024 and through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, item 1 of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2023 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 28, 2023.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Our plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving the expansion of business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that our assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statement included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.

For the nine month period ended March 31, 2024, we reported a net income of $12.5 million on revenues of $76.9 million as compared to net income of $9.9 million on revenues of $72.9 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2023. Operating income increased from $12.3 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2023 to $15.2 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2024.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2024, we reported a net income of $2.5 million on revenues of $25.7 as compared to net income of $4.5 on revenues of $25.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2023.

The revenue increase, from $72.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 to $76.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024, was primarily due to increases in patient fee revenue of $4.1 million, from $21.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 to $25.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024. Revenues from product sales and service and repair fees increased from $5.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 as compared to $5.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024.

The revenue increase, from $25.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 to $25.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 was also primarily due to increases in patient fee revenue of $426,000, from $8.2 million for the three month period ending March 31, 2023 to $8.6 million for the three month period ending March 31, 2024.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

During the nine months ended March 31, 2024, the aggregate number of scans performed by the sites we manage or own increased to 154,790 scans from 139,339 scans in the nine months ended March 31, 2023. This increase was due to the opening of a new stand-alone facility in Florida, our return to a full operating schedule, and the addition of AIRS SwiftMR™ software to our scanners.

While our revenues increased, our costs and expenses increased at a lower rate resulting in our operating income increasing to $15.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $12.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. In terms of percentages, costs and expenses increased 1.9% to $61.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 as compared to $60.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, while revenues increased 5.6%, from $72.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 to $76.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024.

Fonar’s wholly owned subsidiary, Health Management Corporation of America (“HMCA”), has the controlling interest in Health Diagnostics Management, LLC (“HDM”). HMCA presently has a direct ownership interest of 70.8% in HDM, and the investors in HDM have a 29.2% ownership interest. The management of the diagnostic imaging centers business segment is being conducted by HDM, operating under the name “Health Management Company of America”. For the sake of simplicity, HMCA, and HDM are referred to as “HMCA”, unless otherwise indicated.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic appears to be stabilizing in the second half of fiscal 2024. Revised guidance from the Center for Disease Control and other regulatory agencies recommend an approach to COVID-19 that is more consistent with other respiratory illnesses. We are unable to predict if there will be additional consequences on our operations from COVID-19. We will continue to monitor the recommendations of the various federal, state, and local regulators and abide by their requirements.

Results of Operations

We operate in two industry segments: the manufacture and servicing of medical (MRI) equipment, which is conducted by Fonar, and diagnostic facilities management services, which is conducted through HMCA.

Manufacturing and Service of MRI Equipment

Revenues from MRI product sales increased to $329,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 from $225,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2023. Costs related to product sales decreased from $580,000 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2023 to $558,000 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2024. Economic uncertainty and lower reimbursement rates for MRI scans, have depressed the market for our MRI scanner products, notwithstanding our scanners’ unique technological capabilities (e.g., multi positional scanning). Due to the low sales volumes of our MRI product, period to period comparisons are not necessarily indicative of any trends.

Service revenues remained constant at $5.6 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2024 and for the nine month period ended March 31, 2023.

Costs relating to providing service were $2.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024 as compared to $2.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023. Because of our ability to monitor the performance of customers’ scanners from our facilities in Melville, New York on a daily basis and to detect and repair any irregularities before more serious and costly problems develop, we have been able to contain our costs of providing service.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

There were approximately $387,000 in foreign revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 as compared to $375,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2023. We do not regard this as a material trend, but as part of a normal although sometimes volatile variation resulting from low volumes of foreign sales.

We recognize MRI scanner sales revenues on the “percentage of completion” basis, which means the revenues are recognized as the scanner is manufactured. Revenues recognized in a particular quarter do not necessarily reflect new orders or progress payments made by customers in that quarter. We build the scanner as the customer meets certain benchmarks in site preparation and our installation of the scanner, in order to minimize the time lag between incurring costs of manufacturing and our receipt of the cash progress payments from the customer which are due upon delivery. Consequently, there can be a disparity between the revenues recognized in a fiscal period and the number of product sales. Generally, the revenues from a scanner sale are recognized in a fiscal quarter or quarters following the quarter in which the sale was made.

Revenues for the medical equipment segment increased to $5.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 from $5.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023. Operating losses for our medical equipment segment increased to an operating loss of $2.9 million, for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 as compared to an operating loss of $2.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023.

Diagnostic Facilities Management Services

HMCA revenues increased in the first nine months of fiscal 2024 by 5.9% to $71.1 million from $67.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023. The percentage of our revenues derived from our diagnostic facilities management segment relative to the percentage of our total revenues increased slightly to 92.4% for the first nine months of fiscal 2024, from 92.0% for the first nine months of fiscal 2023.

The number of scans performed at our centers and at our clients’ centers has recovered to pre-COVID-19 levels and has increased from approximately 139,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 to approximately 155,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2024. The increase in scans was due to the additional of a new stand-alone facility which opened in Florida, as well as our investment in software to enhance the quality of MRI images and enable the reduction of MRI scan times.

We now manage or own a total of 42 MRI scanners. Twenty-five (25) MRI scanners are located in New York and seventeen (17) are located in Florida. HMCA experienced an operating income of $18.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 compared to operating income of $14.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023.

The ability of HMCA to maintain its profitability is principally due to HMCA’s success in marketing the scanning services of the facilities managed or owned by HMCA, notwithstanding the decrease in reimbursement rates paid for MRI scans by insurers, Medicare and other government programs. The reductions in reimbursement rates are not unique to HMCA or HMCA’s clients but are being experienced by the industry in general.

HMCA’s cost of revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 increased to $39.2 million as compared to $36.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023.

Consolidated

For the first nine months of fiscal 2024, our consolidated net revenues increased by 5.6% to $76.9 million from $72.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, and total costs and expenses increased by 1.9% to $61.7 million from the first nine months of fiscal 2024 as compared to $60.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 respectively. As a result, our operating income increased to $15.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024 as compared to $12.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023. A decrease in selling, general and other administrative costs in particular resulted in cost and expenses increase at a much lower percentage as compared to the increase in net revenues.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $18.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024 from $20.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023. This decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was due mainly to less reserves taken on management fees. Some of these reserves had been taken in the ordinary course of business and some in connection with the impact of the COVID-19 virus.

Research and development expenses increased by 15.2% to $1.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 from $1.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023.

Interest expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2024 increased by 63.4% to $67,000 from $41,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2023.

Inventories increased to $2.9 million at March 31, 2024 as compared to $2.6 million at June 30, 2023.

Net management fee and medical receivables increased by 11.8% to $74.1 million at March 31, 2024 from $66.3 million at June 30, 2023 as a result of slower collections and increased scan volume. The slower collections were primarily due to an increase in no-fault and workers’ compensation revenue, which typically takes longer to collect.

The results of operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 reflect an increase in revenues from management, patient and other fees, as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2023 ($71.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 as compared to $67.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023), coupled with a smaller increase in the total cost and expenses ($61.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 as compared to $60.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023). Revenues were 7.6% from the MRI equipment segment and 92.4% from HMCA, for the first nine months of fiscal 2024, as compared to 8.0% from the MRI equipment segment and 92.0% from HMCA for the first nine months of fiscal 2023.

As a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) we have experienced a reduction of reimbursement rates and less interest in our MRI equipment. Any changes to the PPACA may result in further changes in the healthcare industry and our business.

We are committed to improving our operating results and dealing with the challenges posed by legislative and regulatory requirements. Nevertheless, factors beyond our control, such as the timing and rate of market growth, economic conditions, the availability of credit and payor reimbursement rates, or unexpected expenditures and the timing of such expenditures, make it difficult to forecast future operating results.

Page 28 

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

As mentioned, one of the effects of the PPACA on our business has been the reduction in Medicare reimbursement rates for MRI scans. This also has resulted in a reduction in the reimbursement rates by commercial insurers and government programs which tie their reimbursement rates to the Medicare rates. Nevertheless, the patient volume of the scanning centers we manage or own has enabled us to maintain healthy operating results in spite of these challenges. We believe we are pursuing the correct policies to cope with these problems and to improve the Company’s operating results.

Our Upright® MRI (also referred to as the Stand-Up® MRI), together with our works-in-progress, are intended to significantly improve our competitive position.

The Upright® MRI scanner, which operates at 6000 gauss (.6 Tesla) field strength, allows patients to be scanned while standing, sitting, reclining and in multiple flexion and extension positions. It is common in visualizing the spine that abnormalities are visualized in some positions and not others. This enables surgical corrections that heretofore would not have been addressable for lack of visualizing the symptom causing the pathology and therefore, in general enables the treating physician to achieve a better treatment outcome for his patient. A floor-recessed elevator brings the patient to the height appropriate for the targeted image region. A custom-built multi-position adjustable bed will allow patients to sit or lie on their backs, sides or stomachs at any angle. This allows the MRI technologist to ask the patient to position himself/herself in the exact position that generates his/her pain so that images of the patient in the position that explicitly generates the patient’s pain can be nailed down. Full-range-of-motion studies of the joints in virtually any direction are possible, a particularly promising feature for sports injuries.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents, and short term investments increased from $51.3 million at June 30, 2023 to $54.0 million at March 31, 2024.

Cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 was $9.5 million. Cash provided by operating activities was attributable principally to net income of $12.5 million, depreciation and amortization of $3.5 million, amortization on right-to-use assets of $3.3 million, and deferred income tax of $3.0 million, offset by an increase in accounts, management fee receivables and medical receivables of $8.8 million, a decrease of operating lease liabilities of $3.8 million and a decrease in other current liabilities of $1.1 million.

Cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 was $501,000. Cash used in investing activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2024 consisted of patent costs of $24,000, purchase of short-term investments of $102,000 and the purchase of property and equipment of $375,000.

Cash used in financing activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 was $6.3 million. The principal uses of cash in financing activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2024 were the repayment of principal on long-term debt and capital lease obligations of $32,000, the purchase of treasury stock of $1.9 million and distributions to non-controlling interests of $4.4 million.

Page 29 

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Total liabilities increased by 5.7% to $52.6 million at March 31, 2024 from $49.8 million at June 30, 2023. “Other” current liabilities decreased by 10.0% to $4.9 million at March 31, 2024 from $5.4 million at June 30, 2023. The current portion of our service contract liabilities decreased by 9.4% to $3.5 million at March 31, 2024 as compared to $3.8 million at June 30, 2023. The long term portion of operating lease liability increased from $32.1 million at June 30, 2023 to $36.5 million at March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, the total of $4.9 million in “other” current liabilities included accrued salaries and payroll taxes of $2.2 million, sales taxes payable of $207,000 and other general and administrative expenses of $1.2 million.

Our working capital increased to $121.3 million at March 31, 2024 from $110.0 million at June 30, 2023. This resulted from an increase in current assets ($125.7 million at June 30, 2023 as compared to $135.8 million at March 31, 2024), and a decrease in current liabilities from $15.6 million at June 30, 2023 to $14.5 million at March 31, 2024.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or when such net operating losses can be utilized. The Company considers projected future taxable income, the regulatory environment of the industry, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. At the present, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the benefits from certain deferred tax asset carryforwards, will not all be fully realized. In recognition of this inherent risk, a valuation allowance was established for separate state net operating losses that are not expected to be fully utilized. A valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal of any portion or all of the valuation allowance.

The Company’s effective income tax rate is based on expected income, statutory rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual income tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision or benefit in accordance with the anticipated annual rate. The Company refines the estimates of the year’s taxable income on a periodic basis as new information becomes available, including actual year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective income tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected income tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating tax positions.

Fonar is not committed to making any significant capital expenditures for the remainder of the 2024 fiscal year.

Critical to our business plan are the improvement and expansion of the MRI facilities managed or owned by HMCA, and increasing the number of scans performed at those facilities. In addition, our business plan calls for a continuing commitment to providing our customers with enhanced equipment service and maintenance capabilities and delivering state-of-the-art, innovative and high quality equipment and upgrades at competitive prices.

Page 30 

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Fonar entered into an agreement with AIRS Medical to install its SwiftMR™ product on all Fonar Upright® scanners operating at the facilities HMCA owns or manages. Fonar will also make the AIRS SwiftMR™ product available to the installed base of Fonar scanners operating in the United States. Management believes this product improves the quality of the images produced by Fonar equipment, and provides operational efficiencies that result in additional scan volume in the scanners operated by HMCA facilities.

Management is seeking to promote wider market recognition of Fonar’s scanner products, and to increase demand for Upright® scanning at the facilities HMCA owns or manages. Given the liquidity and credit constraints in the markets, the uncertainty resulting from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or its repeal or modification, and the high level of competition in the marketplace, the sale of medical equipment has and may continue to suffer.

The Company believes that its business plan has been responsible for its profitability in the past nine consecutive fiscal years and first nine months of fiscal 2024, and that its capital resources will be adequate to support operations through at least May 15, 2025. The future effects on our business of healthcare legislation, the 2.3% excise tax on sales of medical equipment, reimbursement rates, public health conditions and the general economic and business climate are not known at the present time. Nevertheless, there is a possibility of adverse consequences to our business operations from these causes.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company maintains its funds in liquid accounts. None of our investments are in fixed rate instruments.

All of our revenue, expense and capital purchasing activities are transacted in United States dollars.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ’‘Exchange Act’’). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2024, in ensuring that material information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the same time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 – Legal Proceedings: There were no material changes in litigation from that reported in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 and Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2023.

Item 1A – Risk Factors: An investment in the securities of the Company is subject to various risks, the most significant of which are summarized below.

1. Reduced Reimbursement Rates. Most of our revenues are derived from our scanning center business conducted by HMCA. Our scanning center clients and the Florida facilities owned by HMCA are experiencing lower reimbursement rates from Medicare, other government programs and private insurance companies. To the extent possible, we counter these reductions by increasing scanning volume and controlling operating expenses. Inflation in the cost of both materials and labor have limited our ability to control our costs, negatively impacting our ability to maintain profitability in this business segment.

2. Inflation and Increasing Interest Rates. Inflation has drastically increased our costs for both materials and labor. The Federal Reserve has increased interest rates in an attempt to control inflation, which in turn has increased the cost of capital. Diagnostic imaging facilities require significant amounts of capital to operate, particularly in the context of opening new diagnostic imaging centers. These increased costs make it more difficult to achieve organic growth and extend the time that a new center takes to achieve profitability. Continued costs increases, coupled with reduced reimbursement rates may threaten the profitability of our current operations and cause the cost of expansion to become prohibitively high.

3. Cybersecurity threats. The healthcare industry has increasingly become a target for threat actors. Our organization relies on information technology systems and computer networks to operate. Our partners, vendors, and business associates are equally reliant on their own computer systems to provide the services that we depend on to perform core functions such as scheduling and billing. Data incidents in the form of breaches, ransomware attacks, denial-of-service attacks, and a variety of other hazards could materially disrupt our operations, or the operations of our partners. In addition, the costs to respond to such incidents related to rebuilding internal systems, restoring data, responding to regulatory investigations and/or litigation could be significant. Our cybersecurity liability insurance may be inadequate to cover these losses. The cost of maintaining and improving our security technologies to protect ourselves from these threats is increasing. Risks outside of our control, such as cybersecurity attacks to our partners, vendors and business associates could threaten our ability to operate in the short term and reduce operating margins.

Page 32 

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

4. Dependence on Referrals. HMCA derives substantially all of its revenue, directly or indirectly, from fees charged for the diagnostic imaging services performed at the facilities. We depend on referrals of patients from unaffiliated physicians and other third parties to the facilities we manage or own for the services we perform. If these physicians and other third parties were to reduce the number of patients they refer or discontinue referring patients, scan volumes could decrease, which would reduce our net revenue and operating margins.

5. Pressure to Control Healthcare Costs. One of the principal objectives of health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations is to control the cost of healthcare services. Healthcare providers participating in managed care plans may be required to refer diagnostic imaging tests to certain providers depending on the plan in which a covered patient is enrolled. In addition, managed care contracting has become very competitive. The expansion of health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations and other managed care organizations in New York or Florida could have a negative impact on the utilization and pricing of services performed at the facilities HMCA manages or owns to the extent these organizations exert control over patients’ access to diagnostic imaging services, selections of the provider of such services and reimbursement rates for those services.

6. Scanning Facility Competition. The market for diagnostic imaging services is highly competitive. The facilities we manage or own compete for patients on the basis of reputation, location and the quality of diagnostic imaging services. Groups of radiologists, established hospitals, clinics and other independent organizations that own and operate imaging equipment are the principal competitors.

7. Eligibility Changes to Insurance Programs. Due to potential decreased availability of healthcare through private employers, the number of patients who are uninsured or participate in governmental programs may increase. Healthcare reform legislation will continue to increase the participation of individuals in the Medicaid program in states that elect to participate in the expanded Medicaid coverage. A shift in payor mix from managed care and other private payors to government payors or an increase in the number of uninsured patients may result in a reduction in the rates of reimbursement or an increase in uncollectible receivables or uncompensated care, with a corresponding decrease in net revenue. Policies now being offered under various insurance plans are expected to reduce demand for MRI scans as they become less affordable. Changes in the eligibility requirements for governmental programs such as the Medicaid program and state decisions on whether to participate in the expansion of such programs also could increase the number of patients who participate in such programs and the number of uninsured patients. Even for those patients who remain in private insurance plans, changes to those plans could increase patient financial responsibility, resulting in a greater risk of uncollectible receivables. These factors and events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

8. Federal and state privacy and information security laws. We must comply with numerous federal and state laws and regulations governing the collection, dissemination, access, use, security and privacy of PHI, including HIPAA and its implementing privacy and security regulations, as amended by the federal HITECH Act. If we fail to comply with applicable privacy and security laws, regulations and standards, properly maintain the integrity of our data, or protect our proprietary rights to our systems, our business, reputation, results of operations, financial position and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

Page 33 

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

9. Current and future changes in Florida Insurance Law. On March 24, 2023, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed the Tort Reform Act. The bill makes sweeping changes to Florida’s negligence laws. These changes will negatively impact our Florida diagnostic imaging facilities (both those we own and those we manage) with more unpaid bills, and lower reimbursement rates. The full extent of those reductions are unclear at this time. Florida legislators continue to propose significant changes to the current structure of Florida’s auto insurance industry, which may impact our future operations in Florida.

10. Demand for MRI Scanners. The reduced reimbursement rates have a negative effect on our sales of MRI scanners. With lower revenue projections, prospective customers would demand lower prices for scanners. Although the reduced reimbursements may not affect foreign demand, a lower number of sales in the aggregate could reduce economies of scale and consequently, profit margins.

11. Manufacturing Competition. Many if not most of our competing scanner manufacturers have significantly greater financial resources, production capacity, and other resources than we do. Such competitors would include General Electric, Siemens, Hitachi and Phillips. Although Fonar is the only company which can manufacture and sell the unique Stand-Up® (Upright®) MRI scanner, potential customers must be convinced that the purchase of a Fonar scanner is their best choice. We believe that with time, that objective will be reached, particularly with customers scanning patients having neck, back, knee and various orthopedic issues who would benefit from being scanned in weight-bearing positions.

We are subject to risk arising from adverse changes in general domestic and global economic and other conditions, including recessions or economic slowdowns, disruptions of credit markets and military conflicts.

Item 2 – Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds: None

In September 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $9 million of our common stock. Under this program, we may purchase stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws, including pursuant to pre-arranged stock trading plans. The timing and actual amount of the stock repurchases will depend on several factors including price, capital availability, regulatory requirements, and other market conditions. We are not obligated to repurchase a specific number of shares under this program and it may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.

The following table summarizes the number of shares repurchased during the three months ended December 31, 2023:
