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 six months ended December 31, 2022,2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023.2024. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company'sCompany’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on September 28, 20222023 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.2023.

The global pandemic of COVID-19 has caused turbulence and uncertainty in the United States and international markets and economies which has adversely affected our workforce, liquidity, financial conditions, revenues, profitability and business operations. Generally, COVID-19 had caused us to require that much of our workforce work from home and has restricted the ability of our personnel to travel for marketing purposes or to service our customers. The Company was able to enact certain decisions to allow the Company to survive duringnavigate the global pandemic and from further losses, or additional decreases in scan volume. The Company also received some government stimulus funds from the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and Medicare advances/stimulus payments. The Company has been able to navigate through these challengesvolume and avoid any significant disruption of the business. The Company must now take into account the severity, duration and recurrence of new strains of the COVID-19 virus which adds a new dimension to the challenges and uncertainty facing our business and the volume has recently risen back almost to pre- COVID-19 levels.world economy in general. Although we are unable to predict if there will be additional consequences on our operations from the continuing global pandemic of COVID-19, the Company believes with positive cash flows, low debt and cash on hand, it will be able to maintaincontinue operations to pre COVID-19 levels going forward.

Revenues

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 operations.income.

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 six months ended December 31, 20222023 and 2021.2022.

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 six months ended December 31, 20222023 and 2021,2022, 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 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.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Loses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current 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 December 31, 20222023 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 20222023 or 2021,2022, 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.

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.

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'sCompany’s receivables from the related and non-related professional corporations (PC's)(PC’s) substantially consist of fees outstanding under management agreements. Payment of the outstanding fees is dependent on collection by the PC'sPC’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 partythird-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% and 67% of the PCs’ net revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021,respectively, were derived from no-fault and personal injury protection claims. Approximately 6867% and 6768% of the PCs’ net revenue for the six months ended December 31, 20222023 and 2021,2022, 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 doubtful accounts. 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'smanagement’s expectations.

NOTE 4 –OPERATING & FINANCING LEASES

In July 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases“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 elected the optional transition method to apply the standard as of the effective date and therefore, we will not apply the standard to the comparative periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. 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 Accounting Standards Codification (‘ASC’)Topic 842, – Lease, 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 December 31, 20222023 is as follows:

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

Other Matters - Continued

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 1112 - INCOME TAXES

In accordance with ASC 740-270, Income“Income Taxes – Interim Reporting,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 six months ended December 31, 20222023 and 2021,2022, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2,8713,036 in 20222023 as compared to $2,8462,871 in 2021.2022.

NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

ASC topicTopic 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 topicTopic 740. The Company believes there are no uncertain tax positions in prior yearsyear tax filings and therefore it has not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits..benefits.

In accordance with ASC topicTopic 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 2019. 2018.

NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

The Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $10,5367,758 and a deferred tax liability of $216395 as of December 31, 2022,2023, primarily relating to net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $11,180 available to offset future taxable income through 2032.allowance for doubtful accounts and tax credits. The net operating losses begin to expire in 20232028 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 December 31, 2022,2023, 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%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 will be effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. Currently, the Company does not expectis 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 the partial value of the deferred tax asset, which principally relatedseparate state net operating losses that are not expected to research and development tax credits.be fully utilized. A valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal of the remainder of the valuation.

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, Itemitem 1 of thisthe Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 20222023 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 20222023 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 28, 2022.2023.

For the six month period ended December 31, 2022, we reported a net income of $5.5 million on revenues of $47.4 million as compared to net income of $10.3 million on revenues of $48.2 million for the six month period ended December 31, 2021. Operating income decreased from $12.2 million for the six month period ended December 31, 2021 to $8.1 million for the six month period ended December 31, 2022.

For the three month period ended December 31, 2022, we reported a net income of $2.8 million on revenues of $24.3 million as compared to net income of $5.1 million on revenues of $24.5 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2021.

The revenue decrease, from $48.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022 to $47.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023, was primarily due to decreases in patient fee revenue of $1.1 million, from $14.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022 to $13.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023. Revenues from product sales and service and repair fees decreased by 7.8% from $4.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022 to $3.93 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023.

While our revenues decreased, our costs and expenses increased, but by a greater amount resulting in our operating income decreasing to $8.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to $12.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021. In terms of percentages, costs and expenses increased 9.2% from $36.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022 to $39.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023, while revenues decreased 1.6%, from $48.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022 to $47.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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, as compared to HMCA’s 70% ownership interest and the investors’ 30% ownership interest in HDM in fiscal 2021. This change resulted from the Company’s purchase of non-controlling interests from the minority shareholders for $546,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. 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 most significant adverse impact on our Company in fiscal 2022 and the first half of fiscal 2023 has been the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although it had seemed the worst had passed, subsequent events have shown a spike in new cases and the emergence of new strains of the virus. This is by no means a problem confined to our Company, but despite our best efforts and improved ability to cope with the pandemic and the availability of new vaccines, the impact on our results of operation and financial condition is potentially volatile and severe.

The global pandemic of COVID-19 has caused disruptions in the United States and international markets which have adversely affected our workforce, financial condition, profitability and business operations. Generally COVID-19 caused us to require that a portion of our workforce work from home and restricted the ability of our personnel to travel for marketing purposes or to service our customers. The Company was able to enact certain decisions to allow the Company to survive during the global pandemic and prevent further losses or additional decreases in scan volume. Although we are unable to predict if there will be additional consequences on our operations from the continuing global pandemic of COVID-19 and its variants, the Company believes with its strong cash position and general financial condition, it will be able to continue operations going forward.

One of the concerns we have had is the increased strictness in enforcement of certain COVID-19 mandates, which directly impact the conduct of our business, such as the requirement that employees in healthcare facilities be vaccinated. Another concern we have is the newer variants that are more transmissible. We are in fact facing some of these challenges now. As a result, between absences due to illness and the loss of unvaccinated employees whose duties required them to be in contact with patients, we were sometimes unable to keep a scanning facility open for all shifts. Also at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2023, our Florida locations were effected by Hurricane Ian and had to be shut down for several days. During the first half of fiscal 2023, the aggregate number of scans performed by the sites we manage or own declined to 89,888 scans from 94,460 scans in the first half of fiscal 2022. Nevertheless, we have been able to navigate through these challenges and avoid any significant disruption to our business

For the six month period ended December 31, 2023, we reported a net income of $10.0 million on revenues of $51.2 million as compared to net income of $5.5 million on revenues of $47.4 million for the six month period ended December 31, 2022. Operating income increased from $8.1 million for the six month period ended December 31, 2022 to $11.5 million for the six month period ended December 31, 2023.

For the three month period ending December 31, 2023, we reported a net income of $4.6 million on revenues of $25.4 as compared to net income of $2.8 on revenues of $24.3 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2022.

The revenue increase, from $47.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023 to $51.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2024, was primarily due to increases in patient fee revenue of $3.7 million, from $13.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023 to $16.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2024. Revenues from product sales and service and repair fees remained constant at $3.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023 and for the first six months of fiscal 2024.

The revenue increase, from $24.3 million for the three month period ending December 31, 2022 to $25.4 million for the three month period ending December 31, 2023 was also primarily due to increases in patient fee revenue of $1.1 million, from $7.1 million for the three month period ending December 31, 2022 to $8.2 million for the three month period ending December 31, 2023.

While our revenues increased, our costs and expenses increased at a lower rate resulting in our operating income increasing to $11.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 as compared to $8.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022. In terms of percentages, costs and expenses increased 1.2% to $39.8 million for the first six months of fiscal 2024 as compared to $39.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023, while revenues increased 8.0%, from $47.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023 to $51.2 million for the first six 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 lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to impact our business in fiscal 2024. Mask mandates are returning to public hospitals in New York City, and we must remain prepared to respond to changing guidance from regulatory authorities. This is by no means a problem confined to our Company, but the impact onour results of operations and financial condition is potentially volatile and severe.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Although we are unable to predict if there will be additional consequences on our operations from the continuing global pandemic of COVID-19, the Company believes with its positive cash flows, low debt and cash on hand, it will be able to continue operations going forward.

During the first half of fiscal 2024, the aggregate number of scans performed by the sites we manage or own increased to 101,990 scans from 89,888 scans in the first half of fiscal 2023. This increase was due to the opening of a new stand-alone facility in Florida along with our return to a full operating schedule after addressing our technologist staffing shortfall.

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 decreasedincreased to $219,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2024 from $200,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2023 from $346,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2022.2023. Costs related to product sales increased from $299,000 for the six month period ended December 31, 2021 to $383,000 for the six month period ended December 31, 2022.2022 to $405,000 for the six month period ended December 31, 2023. 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 decreased toremained constant at $3.7 million for the six month period ended December 31, 2022 as compared to $3.9 million for2023 and the six month period ended December 31, 2021.2022.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Costs relating to providing service remained constant at $1.5were $1.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 20222024 and $1.5 million in the first six 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.

There were approximatelyForeign revenues remained constant at $263,000 in foreign revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2023 as compared to approximately $353,000 in foreign revenues2024 and for the first six months of fiscal 2022, representing a decrease in foreign revenues of 25.5%.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.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 decreased toremained constant at $3.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023 from $4.22024 and for the first six months of fiscal 2023. Operating losses for our medical equipment segment increased to an operating loss of $1.7 million, for the first six months of fiscal 2022. Operating losses for our medical equipment segment increased2024 as compared to an operating loss of $1.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023 as compared to an operating loss of $517,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2022.2023.

Diagnostic Facilities Management Services

HMCA revenues decreasedincreased in the first six months of fiscal 20232024 by 1.0%8.7% to $43.5$47.3 million from $44.0$43.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022.2023. The percentage of our revenues derived from our diagnostic facilities management segment relative to the percentage of our total revenues derived from our medical equipment segment increased slightly to 92.4% for the first six months of fiscal 2024, from 91.8% for the first six months of fiscal 2023, from 91.2% for the first six months of fiscal 2022.2023.

HMCA’s current strategy is to counter the effects of lower reimbursement rates by increasing the scan volume of the facilities it owns or manages by adding additional scanners at current centers and increasing our marketing efforts. As a result of the COVID-19 virus, however, the Company had seen decreases in its scan volume. Nevertheless, the Company continued its program of adding additional scanners. The scan volume decreased slightly in the first half of 2023. Other factors that have led to the slight decrease can also be attributable to Hurricane Ian which cause the Florida locations to be closed for several days. The continuation of the COVID-19 virus and its various variants that are more transmittable may delay the completion of the installation of some of the scanners. If scan volumes decrease however, and remain at lower volumes, the Company, notwithstanding its ample cash reserves, may need to consider reducing the size of its operations temporarily as a last resort.

New York State mandated that as of October 7, 2021, all workers at hospitals, long-term care facilities and diagnostic centers be COVID-19-vaccinated.  Workers who were not vaccinated either resigned, were transferred to a non-diagnostic facility within the company, or were dismissed. The resulting reduction in the number of workers available at sites owned or managed by HMCA, has been challenging and has significantly reduced the pool of qualified and vaccinated workers. Also this is combined with the emergence of the new highly transmissible variants. HMCA owned or managed sites struggling with reduced staff either have cut their business hours and therefore scan fewer patients or, when possible, maintain regular business hours by paying employees who are willing to work extra hours at overtime rates. 

Although the number of scans performed at our centers and at our client’sclients’ centers has recovered to pre-COVID-19 levels itand has decreasedincreased from approximately 94,50090,000 in the first six months of fiscal 20222023 to approximately 89,900102,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2023.2024. The decreaseincrease in scans was due to the additional of a shortagenew stand-alone facility which opened in Florida, as well as our investment in software to enhance the quality of MRI technologists who operateimages and enable the scanners, which is an industry-wide issue that caused our centers to be open for fewer hours. We believe that the worst partreduction of this shortage has passed and we will be back to full employment by the end of February.MRI scan times.

We now manage or own a total of 4042 MRI scanners. Twenty-five (25) MRI scanners are located in New York and fifteen (15)seventeen (17) are located in Florida. HMCA experienced an operating income of $13.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2024 compared to operating income of $9.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023 compared to operating income of $12.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022.2023.

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 and the lockdowns imposed as a result of the COVID-19 virus.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 six months of fiscal 20232024 increased to $26.4 million as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2022 increased slightly by 1.0% from $23.6 million to $23.8 million.

Consolidated

For the first six months of fiscal 2023, our consolidated net revenues decreased by 1.6% to $47.4 million from $48.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022, and total costs and expenses2023.

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 COVID-19 virus, 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 27

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 the problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, 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.

In addition, FONAR had announced the publication of a book “THE CRANIOCERVICAL SYNDROME and MRI” that highlights the unique attributes of FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI Imaging (S. Karger, A.G. based in Basel, Switzerland- www.karger.com/Book/Home/261956) which has been published by S. Karger, an approximately 125 year old company and an academic publisher of scientific and medical journals and books. The seven chapter monograph examines the rapid advances in MRI made possible by the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position MRI that are transforming the treatment of patients suffering from the craniocervical syndrome (CCS). It is written by leading international experts in the field to practitioners with a better understanding of the subtle anatomy and MRI appearances at the craniocervical junction, along with insight into the clinical significance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow measurements and its potential role in generating the devastating impairments of the neurodegenerative diseases: Alzheimer’s (5.1 million patients in the United States), childhood and adult Autism (3.0 million), Parkinson’s (1.0 million), Multiple Sclerosis (250,000-350,000) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) (30,000). It calls attention to the revolutionary importance of FONAR’s UPRIGHT® MRI imaging technology and the prospect of significantly relieving the suffering of the above totaled 9.38 million patients afflicted with these disorders.

Fonar also had announced a major diagnostic breakthrough in multiple sclerosis achieved with advanced Upright® MRI. Medical researchers at FONAR published a paper reporting a diagnostic breakthrough in multiple sclerosis (MS), based on observations made possible by the Company’s unique Upright® Multi-Position™ MRI scanner. The findings reveal that the cause of multiple sclerosis may be biomechanical and related to earlier trauma to the neck, which can result in obstruction of the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which is produced and stored in the central anatomic structures of the brain known as the ventricles. Since the ventricles produce a large net volume of CSF each day (500 cc), the obstruction can result in a build up of pressure within the ventricles, resulting in leakage of the CSF and the antigenic polypeptides it contains into the surrounding brain tissue. This leakage could be responsible for generating the brain lesions of multiple sclerosis.

The paper, titled “The Possible Role of Cranio-Cervical Trauma and Abnormal CSF Hydrodynamics in the Genesis of Multiple Sclerosis," appears in the journal Physiological Chemistry and Physics and Medical NMR (Sept. 20, 2011).

This capability of the Fonar Upright® technology has demonstrated its key value on patients with the Arnold-Chiari syndrome [Cerebellar Tonsil Extopia (CTE)], which is believed to affect 200,000 to 500,000 Americans. In this syndrome, brain stem compression and subsequent severe neurological symptoms occur in these patients, because the brain stem descends and is compressed at the base of the skull in the foramen magnum, which is the circular bony opening at the base of the skull where the spinal cord exits the skull. Conventional lie-down MRI scanners cannot make an adequate evaluation of this pathology since the patient's pathology is most visible and the symptoms most acute when the patient is scanned in the upright fully weight-bearing position.

A combined study of 1,200 neck pain patients published in “Brain Injury” (July 2010) by eight university medical centers reported that cerebellar tonsil ectopia (CTE) of 1mm or greater was found and visualized 2.5 times (250%) more frequently when patients who had sustained automobile whiplash injuries were scanned upright rather than lying down.

The Upright® MRI has also demonstrated its value for patients suffering from scoliosis. Scoliosis patients have been typically subjected to routine x-ray exams for years and must be imaged upright for an adequate evaluation of their scoliosis. Because the patient must be standing for a complete evaluation of the extent of the patient’s scoliosis, an x-ray machine has been the only modality that could provide that service. The Upright® MRI is the only MRI scanner which allows the patient to stand during the MRI exam. Fonar has developed an RF receiver and scanning protocol that for the first time allows scoliosis patients to obtain diagnostic pictures of their spines without the risks of x-rays. A study by the National Cancer Institute (2000) of 5,466 women with scoliosis reported a 70% increase in breast cancer resulting from 24.7 chest x-rays these patients received on the average in the course of their scoliosis treatment. The Upright® MRI examination of scoliosis enables the needed imaging evaluation of the degree of spine scoliosis without exposing the patient to the risk of breast cancer from x-radiation. Currently scoliosis affects more than 3,000,000 American women.

In addition, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) reported their results of their study of 1,302 patients utilizing the Fonar Upright® MRI at the 22nd Annual Meeting of the North American Spine Society on October 23, 2007. The UCLA study showed the superior ability of the Fonar Upright® MRI to detect spine pathology, including spondylolisthesis, disc herniations and disc degeneration, as compared to visualizations of the spine produced by traditional single position static MRIs.

 The UCLA study by MRI of 1,302 back pain patients when they were in the Fonar Upright® MRI and examined in a full range of flexion and extension positions made possible by Fonar’s new Upright® technology established that significant “misses” of pathology were occurring with static single position MRI imaging. At L4-5, the vertebral level responsible for 49.8% of lumbar disc herniations, 35.1% of the spondylolistheses (vertebral instabilities) visualized by the Upright® MRI, were being missed by static single position MRI (510 patients). Since this vertebral segment is responsible for the majority of all disc herniations, the finding may reveal a significant cause of failed back surgeries. The UCLA study further showed the “miss-rate” of vertebral instabilities by static only MRI was even higher, 38.7%, at the L3-4 vertebral segment. Additionally, the UCLA study showed that MRI examinations of the cervical spine that did not perform extension images of the neck “missed” disc bulges 23.75% of the time (163 patients).

The UCLA study further reported that they were able to quantitatively measure the dimensions of the central spinal canal with the “highest accuracy” using the FONAR Upright® MRI thereby enabling the extent of spinal canal stenosis that existed in patients to be measured. Spinal canal stenosis gives rise to the symptom complex intermittent neurogenic claudication manifest as debilitating pain in the back and lower extremities, weakness and difficulties in ambulation and leg paresthesias. Spinal canal stenosis is a spinal compression syndrome separate and distinct from the more common nerve compression syndrome of the spinal nerves as they exit the vertebral column through the bony neural foramen.

The Fonar Upright® MRI can also be useful for MRI directed emergency neuro-surgical procedures as the surgeon would have unhindered access to the patient’s head when the patient is supine with no restrictions in the vertical direction. This easy-entry, mid-field-strength scanner could prove ideal for trauma centers where a quick MRI-screening within the first critical hour of treatment will greatly improve patients’ chances for survival and optimize the extent of recovery.

 MRI has brought a new dimension to MEDICAL TREATMENT, the power to VISUALIZE ANATOMIC DETAIL in the body's VITAL SOFT TISSUES (brain, heart, kidney, liver, spleen, lungs, pancreas, intestines) plus MRI's new power to non-invasively QUANTIFY (e.g. measure T1, T2, diffusion, chemical spectra) the response of these VITAL TISSUES to treatment.

As of December 31, 2022,2023, the total of $4.1$3.5 million in “other” current liabilities included accrued salaries and payroll taxes of $1.9$2.1 million, state incomesales taxes payable of $300,000$222,000 and other general and administrative expenses of $1.5 million.$809,000.

Our working capital increased to $107.0$118.4 million at December 31, 20222023 from $101.9$110.0 million at June 30, 2022.2023. This resulted from an increase in current assets ($118.7125.7 million at June 30, 20222023 as compared to $120.7$132.5 million at December 31, 2022)2023), and a decrease in current liabilities from $16.7$15.6 million at June 30, 20222023 to $13.7$14.1 million at December 31, 2022.2023.

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 the partial value of the deferred tax asset, (principally relatedseparate state net operating losses that are not expected to research and development tax credits and allowance for doubtful accounts).be 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.

On August 16, 2020 Congress enacted the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”). 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 will be effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. Currently, the Company does not expect the IRA to have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

Fonar is not committed to making any significant capital expenditures for the remainder of the 20232024 fiscal year, for placing a scanner at a new stand-alone facility located in Florida which is scheduled to open in February. The current estimated costs of these capital expenditures is approximately $1.5 million.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 32

 

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIESIn pursuit of those goals, Fonar has 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. The AIRS SwiftMR™ product enhances image quality using AI-powered denoising and sharpening. Management believes this product will improve the quality of the images produced by Fonar equipment, including 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 impact of the COVID-19 virus on the economy in general, 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 half quarter of fiscal 2023 of profitability2024, and that its capital resources will be adequate to support operations through at least February 14, 2024.2025. The future effects on our business of healthcare legislation, the impact of the COVID-19 virus, the Deficit Reduction Act, 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. Although the Company cannot predict the full effect of COVID-19 for the secondfirst half or any later period, the Company believes that it has adequate revenues, cash reserves and other assets that will enable it to continue to operate until at least February 14, 2024.2025.

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.

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 the December 31, 2022,2023, 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, 20222023 and Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022.2023.

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 date, the impact ofextent possible, we counter these reductions has been countered by increasing scanning volume notwithstandingand controlling operating expenses. Inflation in the COVID-19 pandemic,cost of both materials and reducinglabor have limited our operating expenses, thereby maintainingability to control our costs, negatively impacting our ability to maintain profitability in this business segment. There is, however, no assurance

2. Inflation and Increasing Interest Rates. Inflation has drastically increased our costs for both materials and labor. The Federal Reserve has increased interest rates substantially 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 we will be ablea new center takes to continueachieve profitability. Continued costs increases, coupled with reduced reimbursement rates may threaten the profitability of our current operations and cause the cost of expansion to do so.become prohibitively high.

2.3. Demand for MRI Scanners. The reduced reimbursement rates also affectshave a negative effect on our sales of MRI scanners negatively.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.

3.4. 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.

4.5. 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.

5.6. 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.

7. 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.

7.8. 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. Possible9. Current and future changes in Florida Insurance Law. In early 2019, two senate bills and one houseOn March 24, 2023, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed the Tort Reform Act. The bill in Florida were introduced, all of them calling for the repeal of PIP and replacing PI with $25,000 Bodily Injury Coverage and Property Damage Liability Coverage. Another Florida senate bill was introduced that would preserve PIP but dramatically cut reimbursement rates. None of the proposed bills ever made it onto the 2019 legislative agenda. During Fonar’s fiscal 2021, the Florida house and senate reached an agreement and passed similar legislation. It was, however, vetoed by the Governor. We cannot predict whether such efforts by the Florida legislaturemakes sweeping changes to Florida’s negligence laws.

These changes will continue or be successful. Currently, drivers and passengers get car damages and PIP, paid for up to $10,000, no matter who is at fault in an accident. Drivers have to pay an additional cost to insurance companies to pay for bodily injuries which covers them if they are at fault. While PIP is required, coverage for bodily injury is not.

Over the past several years there have been various bills introduced by a number of Florida legislators to eliminate PIP and instead mandate coverage including some combination of a minimum of bodily injury and a reduced or no amount of medical payments (Medpay coverage). Eliminating PIP would mean that the $10,000 drivers now get paid toward medical costs through their insurers might not be there for them to pay for injured drivers. Importantly, payments would be reduced by approximately 60% due to claims being paid at commercial rates or through legal settlements instead of at the presently prevailing PIP fee schedule. This would negatively impact our Florida diagnostic imaging facilities (both those we own and those we manage) with more unpaid bills, and lower reimbursement rates and elongated waiting times. To date proponentsrates. The full extent of these changes have been unsuccessful.those reductions are unclear at this time.

9.10. 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 Protected Health Information (‘PHI’),PHI, including Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (‘HIPAA’)HIPAA and its implementing privacy and security regulations, as amended by the federal Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (‘HITECH’) Act and collectively referred to as HIPAA.HITECH Act. If we fail to comply with applicable privacy and security laws, regulations and standards, properly maintain the integrity of our data, protect our proprietary rights to our systems, or defend against cybersecurity attacks, our business, reputation, results of operations, financial position and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

Information security risks have significantly increased in recent years because of the proliferation of new technologies, the use of the internet and telecommunications technologies to conduct our operations, and the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists and other external parties, including foreign state agents. Our operations rely on the secure processing, transmission and storage of confidential, proprietary and other information in our computer systems and networks.

10. COVID-19. Although we believe we have taken the proper steps and are making a good recovery from the impact of the first wave of the COVID-19 virus, new strains of the disease have developed and future variants may continue to develop. The relatively recent new variants are particularly contagious and coupled with New York State requirements that medical employees must be vaccinated if they care for patients, including our technicians and support staff caring for scanning patients, has resulted in fewer available employees and adversely affected our ability to staff a full number of shifts. The course and severity of the virus, and the ultimate and economic and medical impact it will have worldwide and at home, is uncertain.

11. Other changes in Domestic and Worldwide Economic Conditions. 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. Turbulence and uncertainty in the United States and international markets and economies may adversely affect our workforce, liquidity, financial condition, revenues, profitability and business operations generally.

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:
